I’m back in Paris, my last night in France, and lately have had weddings on the brain. It’s likely because I have several friends all getting married in the coming months, and I’ve been getting plenty of requests from eager brides-to-be about vendors I would recommend.
Having just gotten married in January, I can happily say that one of the best experiences I had during the planning process was finding The Dress. As a fashion editor and style-conscious bride, the whole process of looking for a gown was exciting, emotional, and inspiring all at once. (There’s good reason that an entire reality show based around the drama of finding a wedding gown exists. If you have yet to see an episode of “Say Yes to the Dress” on TLC, you’re missing out!)
Thankfully, after visiting at least half a dozen boutiques throughout the Bay Area, I decided on Amy Kuschel Bride, a San Francisco designer whose expert team knows how to make the potentially stressful process, from deciding on that all important silhouette, to the last-minute fittings days before the big day, an easy and fun process.
Unlike ready-to-wear shops, Amy Kuschel specializes in modern couture gowns. A bride is able to choose from among many different silhouettes offered each season, and then customize the look with options for fit, fabrics and embellishments.
For instance, I chose a trumpet silhouette, which was cut on the bias out of a rich duchess silk satin and crafted in-house at the Union Square atelier specifically to my measurements. I then had a hand in the design by adding a chapel length train, a subtle sweetheart neckline, and a beaded and sequined metallic satin sash to create my own look.
For brides who love fashion and are searching for that personalized experience, be sure to visit Kuschel’s downtown boutique. You can see how my dress turned out here, in photos shot by the lovely Christina Hernandez of Nightingale Photography, on Amy Kuschel’s blog.
Gorgeous wedding photos, lady!
Thanks Cheryl!
Love this post! And love Amy Kuschel- she does amazing work. I had a great experience (top-notch customer service) at her store in Union Square when I was shopping for wedding gowns.
Yes! They are great. Chasa and Patricia were the girls I worked with and they are so good at what they do. I can’t wait until the feature I wrote on YOUR wedding is published in SF Brides in June!
It was a pleasure working with you! xx | https://nerissasnotebook.com/2010/05/07/wedding-season-preview-saying-yes-to-amy-kuschel-bride/ | 2018-10-15T18:06:51 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Michael Buckner for Variety
Celebrities are sharing their own experiences with sexual harassment or assault as part of the #WhyIDidn’tReport movement.
Last week, actresses like Lili Reinhart and Ashley Judd took to Twitter to reveal why they chose not to go to the authorities after suffering from sexual harassment or assault. These women were inspired by Alyssa Milano after she protested the treatment of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault. In Ford’s defense, the actress tweeted, “Hey, @realDonaldTrump, Listen the f–k up. I was sexually assaulted twice. Once when I was a teenager. I never filed a police report and it took me 30 years to tell my parents.” She then encouraged women to share their own stories with #WhyIDidn’tReport.
Her statements came after President Donald!”

Alyssa Milano wrote about her sexual assault in a first-person essay on Vox. In it,. Telling our stories means being vulnerable to public attacks and ridicule when our only ‘crime’ was to be assaulted in the first place.”ili Reinhart, who rose to fame because of her role as Betty in Riverdale, tweeted she was to afraid to come forward with her claims, “Because I didn’t want to lose my job or make people think I was a drama queen.”
Top Chef host Padma Lakshmialso revealed her experiences from over the years. “I was 7 the first time I was sexually assaulted. He was a relative of my mom’s second husband. I told my folks and they sent me away,” the TV personality shared.
She continued, “The second time I was 16 years old and a virgin. He was my boyfriend. ‘Date rape’ wasn’t discussed in the 80’s. I was horrified and ashamed.”
Lakshmi claims she again experienced abuse at the age of 23, but “thought that no one would believe me, because no one wanted to stand up to him.”
“I had seen the way Anita Hill was treated when she came forward,” she explained.

Padma’s experiences and sentiments were echoed by Ashley Judd, who also endured sexual abuse from a young age. “The first time it happened, I was 7. I told the first adults I came upon. They said ‘Oh, he’s a nice old man, that’s not what he meant,’” Judd revealed. “So when I was raped at 15, I only told my diary. When an adult read it, she accused me of having sex with an adult man.”
Similarly, Daryl Hannah went through a similar experience, even after reporting the incident. “I did, it didn’t matter, I was dismissed, disparaged, & I still get blamed,” the actress said.
Other celebrities showed solidarity for the thousands of people who came forward with their stories by highlighting their braveness.
“If you want to see who the leaders are of #MeToo look no further than the thousands of people sharing their #WhyIDidntReport stories. This movement will not be derailed by anyone. It is decentralized collective power which is why it has limitless strength,” Patricia Arquette said..) | https://newinformers.com/lili-reinhart-and-more-celebrities-join-whyididntreport-movement.html | 2018-10-15T17:46:59 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Article Title
Concentrations of luteinizing hormone and ovulatory responses in dairy cows before timed artificial insemination
Keywords

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of spontaneous and gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH)-induced surges of luteinizing hormone (LH) and ovulatory responses in lactating dairy cows enrolled in a timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocol. Cows (n = 70) in a single herd were assigned to one of two presynchronization protocols: Pre- 10 or PG-3-G. Cows assigned to the Pre-10 treatment received 2 injections of prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α) 14 days apart (Presynch), with the second injection administered 10 days before the onset of a TAI protocol. Cows assigned to the PG-3-G treatment received an injection of prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α), then 3 days later an injection of GnRH (GnRH-1) 7 days before the onset of a TAI protocol. All cows received the first GnRH injection (GnRH-2) of the Ovsynch protocol and a PGF2αinjection 7 days later, then cows received the breeding injection of GnRH (GnRH-3) at either 56 or 72 hours after PGF2α, with insemination occurring 12 to 16 hours after the second GnRH injection. Blood samples were collected during the study to monitor serum changes in LH, progesterone, and estradiol to determine why ovulatory responses to GnRH-induced LH release did not approach 100% when follicle dominance and adequate follicle size was achieved. Presynchronization administration of GnRH-1 increased the incidence of LH surges and ovulation rates in cows presynchronized with PG-3-G compared with Pre-10. Incidence of ovulation and occurrence of LH surges did not differ after GnRH-2, but more LH was released in Pre-10 than PG-3-G cows. Luteolysis, LH surge incidence, and ovulation rates were similar among the 4 treatment-time combinations after GnRH-3. Pregnancy per TAI was decreased in Pre-10 at 56 hours compared with Pre-10 at 72 hours and PG-3-G at 56 and 72 hours. We concluded that administration of GnRH 56 hours before breeding decreased pregnancy per TAI compared with administration of GnRH at 72 hours when cows were presynchronized with Pre-10. Presynchronization with PG-3-G resulted in acceptable pregnancy per TAI with GnRH administration occurring at either 56 or 72 hours before TAI. The flexibility of GnRH timing with the PG-3-G presynchronization protocol may be an advantage compared with the Pre-10 protocol for dairy cattle when programmed for a TAI at first service.; Dairy Day, 2013, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 2013; Dairy Research, 2013 is known as Dairy Day, 2013

What Is a DDoS attack?
IT | Feb 18, 2017 | Master3395
Today, every information we shares on the internet, are being saved somewhere in the server. It is very important to keep servers alive to access those information. Some information can be shared to anyone but some of them are very important for us and we can’t let anyone know. Hackers always try to get private information to do their dirty work.
But, Hacking is not just about stealing the information. When hackers do not get success in stealing , they try to destroy the whole server. In this case, we may lose all the information on the server if we don’t have any backup or a proper defence.
What Is a DDoS attack?
Now a days, we hear a lot about attacks on gaming networks, news websites, bank websites etc. And when i write about those attacks i mention one term that is ‘DDoS’. Many readers may have already know about ‘DDoS’ attacks but many of them are still not aware and they always ask me : What is DDoS ?
So in this article, i am going to explain everything you need to know about DDoS attacks. If you will have any question, you can ask in comment section.
Distributed denial of service (DDos) attack refers to the attempt to make online service unavailable through overwhelming it with traffic from numerous sources. DDoS attack targets a wide range of important resources including news websites, banks, and many more. They pose a challenge to people’s attempts to access or publish important information.A decade ago, DDOS was only a basic attack that trying to overwhelm connection with traffic with the aim of taking a certain web property offline. When leading web experts began fighting DDoS attack in the year 2000, the flood attacks ranged at 400 Mbps but as we speak they exceed 100 Gbps.
The attackers build a network of infected computers called botnet and spread the malicious software through websites, emails and social media. The machines are capable of being controlled remotely once infected without the knowledge of owners. These machines are then used like the army in launching an attack against the target. Some botnet are as strong as millions of machines. The floods are generated in numerous ways including sending more connection requests that exceeds what a server can handle. They can also be generated by having the computers send to the victim huge volume of random data with the intention of using up the target’s bandwidth. Some DDOS attacks are so huge that they can max out the whole country’s international cable capacity.
Specialized online marketers exist who buy and sell individual DDoS attacks or botnet. By using these marketplaces, anyone can pay some fee in order to silence websites that they disagree with or to bring to complete halt online operations of a particular organization. A week-long DDoS attack for instance that is capable of bringing a small firm offline could cost as little as $200.
Beyond the democratization of DDoS attacks are the advanced techniques and targets. Today DDoS involves a series of attacks targeting multiple devices that consist of the organization’s security infrastructure as opposed to targeting connection bandwidth only. They include various applications and firewall or IPS devices that organizations rely on such as DNS, SMTP, VOIP, HTTPS and HTTP. The latest version of DDOS attack is the common multi-vector attack that combines flood, state exhaustion and application attacks against the infrastructure devices in a sustained single attack. These attacks have gained popularity due to their effectiveness and the fact that they are hard to defend against.
Bonus : Watch Live Worldwide DDoS Attacks
Today’s new realities of DDOS attack require new approaches to defense. Network experts have been in the forefront in looking for ways to combat DDOS attack for some years now. The best defensive mechanism against the modern DDOS attack is the layered approach combining cloud based protection and on-premise. With this type of protection, you are guaranteed of 100% security for your organization against the entire spectrum of DDOS attacks. A digital attack map is also ideal for protection against a DDOS attack because it displays global DDOS activities on any particular day. It displays the attacks as dotted lines that are scaled to size and stored in line with their source and the destination countries of attack traffic when they are known.

Blanket Bond
A blanket bond is one particular type of the category of bonds known as fidelity bonds. These protect companies and organizations against some of the mishaps and problems which can occur as a normal result of conducting business. One of the most common types of protection afforded by a fidelities is against employee dishonesty, and that can include a whole range of behaviors considered detrimental to the company.
Financial organizations are more likely to purchase these bonds because of their close association with a large volume of assets, and because criminal-minded individuals may want to take advantage of having access to those assets. Some of the specific types of crime that fidelity bonds protect against are forgery, theft, and fraud.
Some fidelities apply only to key individuals, usually persons in a position of authority, with greater access to company assets and business-critical data. When a bond applies to all employees in an organization at the same time, it’s referred to as a blanket coverage bond, because it provides blanket coverage against any criminal act committed by any employee.
How do they work?
After asking ‘what are blanket bonds?’, the next logical question might be to ask how it works in business. They work in much the same way that most other bonds work, in that three parties are involved, and some level of protection is afforded to one of the parties. In a blanket or a fidelity bond in general, it might seem like there are only two parties involved, because the employer is being protected against some type of fraudulent or criminal activity on the part of a given employee. However, in reality there is a third party in the background, and that’s the surety company which sells the bond.
The thing that is somewhat unique about a fidelity bond or blanket bond is that it’s the only kind of bond which protects a business owner rather than private clients or some kind of government agency. Virtually all other types of bonds act as protection for a third party in the event that you as a contractor or business person fail to live up to the terms of a contractual agreement. When the third party happens to be a government organization, you may violate the terms of the bond by being out of compliance with government stipulations specified in the terms of the bond itself.
What are the different types?
Probably the most common type of fidelity bond is a business services bond, and this is one which safeguards the property of clients you work with. If any property of theirs becomes damaged as a result of your actions, they could make a claim against the business services bond to receive compensation. A few examples of this type of bond are those sold to owners of businesses like carpet cleaners, food caterers, janitorial services, pest control specialists, and HVAC installers.
An employee dishonesty bond is sometimes known as a commercial crime bond, or a financial institution bond, and these are just behind business services bonds in terms of popularity. This is the kind of bond people normally think of as a fidelity type, because it protects institutions against fraud and embezzlement, theft, and forgery. While they’re largely focused on financial type businesses, they can be applied to a broader range of businesses as well.
Janitorial bonds are made available to businesses which provide professional services to corporations in the area of cleaning and facility maintenance. This is a property protection type of bond, which provides financial compensation to the company, should any property become damaged as a result of janitorial employee actions. It’s also meant to convey a sense of confidence to potential clients for the janitorial service, so as to enhance the opportunity for being hired.
One last special type of fidelity bond is the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) bond, and these are intended to safeguard employee pension benefits against the possibility of mismanagement, or fraudulent supervisory actions. There is a standard requirement that any ERISA bond must be valued at 10% of the amount in the total plan fund, not to exceed $500,000.
Who needs a blanket or fidelity bonds?
There are some financial organizations which are required by law to obtain bonds for key individuals in the company, and possibly even blanket bonds to protect against the possibility of financial crime from anyone in the organization. Some typical financial organizations in this category are security firms, brokerages, cash carriers, banks, credit unions, and some other lending institutions.
The reason this is a legal requirement is because people who do business with those types of organizations need to be protected against financial losses, and bonding will provide recourse for people to recover their investments, in the event of some kind of crime. However, even organizations which are not required by law to have a blanket coverage in place, may choose to do so simply for their own protection.
In cases like criminal embezzlement for instance, huge amounts of money can be stolen from a company, and that would ordinarily be a total loss if the perpetrator were not brought to justice. If the company had a bond in place to cover such actions however, the company could then make a claim against it to recover most or all of the amount embezzled by the wayward employee.
So – the simplest answer to the question, ‘what is a blanket bond?’ is that it is a special kind of fidelity, which covers all employees in an organization, rather than just one or a few.

Burn Victims
by Liv-Christine Hoem
They are white as the snow in November streets, and faces,
without a smile and two moons for eyes. There is no room
for hope here, do not say our names. Wipe us out,
we are the scars in the walls now, and even
if you have forgotten us, we will never forget ourselves,
while the flames grow in the edges of the photographs.
No, do not say our names, and let us burn quietly,
into the lives we never got.

Motorist felt the wrath of cyclists after an accident in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Hitting one of them, the man did not expect is in store for him with physical violence.
The incident happened on Tuesday around 22:30 at the intersection of 6th street and Hobart Boulevard. Trying to cross the road, a group of 50-60 cyclists created a traffic jam. At this point in the other street tried to pass the car brand BMW, but it was not easy: one of the riders grabbed the handle and literally hung on the door to the car.
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2017/08/b8344f95bb0fe15dd9329201ba37695f.png" alt="Cyclists dealt with the driver of a car on a Los Angeles intersection” />
Trying to shake it off, the driver pressed on the gas and hit another cyclist. His friends decided to punish the offender — they surrounded the car, dragged her out of the driver, and then one of them pinned him to the ground and slapped cuffs.
Fortunately, serious injuries during the emergency, no one got it.
Arrived at the scene, police briefly detained an aggressive cyclist and a driver. It turned out that the latter is not guilty of an accident — he acted according to traffic moving on a green light. Cyclists tried to cross the road at a time when the green light changed to red. | https://oksitoys.com/incidents/7661-cyclists-dealt-with-the-driver-of-a-car-on-a-los-angeles-intersection.html | 2018-10-15T17:03:44 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Fletchers House was once the Vicarage and the home of Jacobean playwright John Fletcher who was born in the house in 1579
About John Fletcher 1579-1625
John Fletcher, the English dramatist was born in Rye, Sussex, the third son of a clergyman who later became a Bishop of London. Fletcher collaborated with several playwrights including Shakespeare, Beaumont, Massinger and Rowley. Fletcher was closely assocated with Beaumont and their dramatic works compiled in 1647 contained 35 pieces' another folio published in 1679 - 52 works. Modern research finds Beaumont's hand in only about 10 plays - the rest therefore attributed to Fletcher. A group has set up to bring renaisssance productions to Rye which celebrate the life of John Fletcher. See
for latest events and more details.
Fletchers House - History of the Building
Fletchers House was the old Vicarage, wholly or partly rebuilt in 1707. The architecturally stunning south front of Fletcher's - sadly long lost to view - dating from the late 1400's, and contemporary with the much acclaimed St Anthony's on the other side of the Churchyard, faced the North Door of the Church across an area of open ground, possibly part of the Churchyard, at the head of Lion Street. At its centre is an important Tudor doorway ornamented with carved York and Tudor Roses and foliage. All trace of the door has been covered in the present interior , but it is certainly thought that Dr Richard Fletcher would have gone to reach St Marys. (
extracted from research by Rye Local History Group)
Visitors to the house are able to see and enjoy the fine dragon beams at the eastern end of the ground floor, together with a large Inglenook fireplace and some very early glass in the main chamber. Upstairs, in the Oak Room, splendind timbers are still exposed to the full roof height and the free standing chimney can be seen as it rises some 25 feet to its exit through the roof. At the head of the stairs is displayed a 17th Century edition of the "The Two Noble Kinsmen" open at its title page.
"The Fletcher's Ghost
Pete and Lee have heard but not seen "the Fletcher's Ghost", but over the years many have felt the presence and described an old man dressed in Victorian top hat and tails. When the man disappears he leaves behind tiny dots in primary colours which slowly disperse. This is apparently a sign of a good spirit rather than a poltergeist.

Lots of people say that there is not enough time in the day for embroidery! I fall into that category as well, there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day! I have 10 million projects that I want to do, and I have ideas in my head that I need to do! So many ideas, so little time. On the bright side in my life, I do get to do embroidery all day – we create and embroider patches, so my day is filled with embroidery! And I absolutely love it! Some days, I really just want to sit and digitize all day. I “work watch” movies and TV and listen to music while I digitize, and I do find it relaxing as long as there are no time frames for my work to be completed.
So how do you fit in time for embroidery every day? Here are a few ideas to make a bit of time to add in some embroidery time:
LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY. A little learning each day adds up in the end. I do this every day – whether I learn something new about the program, a new way of doing things, a new process or using a new thread or style properly. Something little each day adds up to good working knowledge in the end.
SET SOME QUIET TIME: I know this is hard for everyone, including me, but I try and set a few minutes each day for some quiet time to give my brain a rest. During this quiet time, I usually turn to embroidery digitizing. Start off small with even 20 minutes and work up from there. You may not be able to finish a whole design, but you can at least work on it.
LEARNING IS IMPORTANT: to make good use of your time and learn your embroidery program – if you get a feel for what you are doing then you will have much less frustration in general working with embroidery. I do suggest that people know the program before they start working on a project.
KNOW YOUR PROGRAM: no matter what software you are using, get to know the program as much as possible before starting a project. I get a good feel for a new embroidery program, and then take a learn- as-I-go approach to it. I know most of the tools, and if i want to do something and I can’t figure it out, instead of trying a whole bunch of things I will always look it up on the Help guide and find the right way the first time. This saves a ton of frustration and makes learning happy.
SET GOALS: I set personal goals for myself every day – the things that I want to accomplish in the day – and that always includes a bit of learning time – whether on Embird, Tajima DG15 Photoshop or any other program that I use. They don’t have to be huge goals, but something simple and workable. If you don’t have enough time to finish a whole project, set the goal to get one part of it done, and the next day another part until your design is finished.
So remember, you are never too old to learn something new! Go for it – set yourself out a bit of time each day and start tackling that embroidery to-do list and feel accomplished.

f2: The distribution of radioactive materials on the filter samples measured with the IP.Black dots indicate the presence of radioactive materials. The outer rims (dotted line) of the filters were added artificially. This study focused on the filter samples from March 14, 21:10 to March 15, 09:10 (upper left), and from March 20, 21:30 to March 21, 09:13 (bottom center).
Mentions:
We measured the radioactive materials that were collected in the filter at ground level on March 14–15 using the IP (Fig. 2). The radioactive materials were distributed spotty, suggesting that the number of radioactive particles was relatively small but that their activity levels were relatively strong. Within this filter sample, we counted approximately 100 spots caused by radioactive materials, suggesting a concentration of approximately 10 radioactive particles per m3. For reference, the average particle number concentration was 4.1 × 107 per m3 for particles larger than 0.5 μm from March 15 (Fig. S1). The spotty distribution in the IP image was also observed in the rooftop filter sample from March 15 (Fig. S3).

The feat mentions that gnomes would likely select an animal with a burrow speed as their familiar, but familiars have no way of gaining a burrow speed. Is burrow accidentally omitted from the familiar movement options, or are gnomes finding crippled moles to take on as familiars?
Yeah I noticed this early on in the playtest but paizo did add two extra familiar abilities in one of the updates i think it was 1.2
Sadly it is a 5 foot burrow speed which is impressively mediocre but it does exist.
Also they added hands to take manipulate actions with an another option.
Thanks, I missed that update. Still, 5 ft isn't exactly useful or representative of a burrowing animal's abilities. The hands one is nice though. | https://paizo.com/threads/rzs42bjv?Gnomish-Animal-Accomplice-Burrow-Speed | 2018-10-15T17:18:39 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Hillsboro's Dwayne Anliker honored as Mariners 'Ultimate Fan'
Are you a fan of the Seattle Mariners? If you're a baseball fan in Oregon, there's a pretty good chance you are, due primarily to Portland's lack of a team and the Mariners being the closest Major League Baseball franchise in proximity.
But if you are, you're likely not as big of a fan as Hillsboro's Dwayne Anliker, and Root Sports made that official Friday, Sept. 28, before Seattle's game against the Texas Rangers at Safeco Field.
Anliker was one of five Mariners fans — and the only one in Oregon — to be selected as an Ultimate Fan by Root Sports, the cable network that televises over 150 Mariners games per year.
As part of the honor of being selected as an Ultimate Fan, Anliker was flown to Seattle, put up in a hotel across the street from Safeco Field, and was a VIP guest of the franchise for their game against the Rangers on Sept. 28. Such an honor would be memorable for anyone, but for Anliker, it meant more — a lot more.
"The world," said Anliker's mother Betty when asked what it meant to her son. "It was just really, really important."
Anliker, 35, is legally blind. He lost about 90 percent of his vision as a result of a stroke he suffered four years ago. The then-31-year-old was misdiagnosed after suffering a series of headaches that would later be found to be the result of a brain bleed, which put pressure on his optic nerve and led to a stroke that ultimately caused his loss of vision. Since the stroke, Anliker is unable to work and lives with his parents, Betty and Dennis.
"He almost died," said his mother. "The doctor said that most people who suffer similar trauma die."
Dwayne Anliker has always been a baseball fan. He started playing the game in tee ball, continued playing through high school and later played various forms of recreational league softball, playing on as many as five teams at the time of his stroke. By his account, he started following the Mariners at the age of 12, drawn in by Seattle's famous playoff run to the American League Championship Series in 1995.
"As long as I can remember I was always a fan, but it really became a huge thing for me in 1995 when they went to the ALCS," Anliker said. "I can still remember Edgar (Martinez) hitting the double and (Ken) Griffey Jr. scoring. We watched all those games back then, and that's when I remember it starting."
Two years later, Anliker was selected to go take batting practice at the Kingdome in Seattle prior to a game, where he fondly remembers his first real experience on a major league field.
"I remember not hitting very well," he said with a chuckle. "I was extremely nervous. You have the hitting coach pitching to you and critiquing you. I also remember having photos taken and making pretend leaping catches and doing all the things a kid would do being on a major league field for the first time. It was a blast."
Fast forward 21 years, and Anliker was able to experience it again — as an Ultimate Fan.
Upon arrival, he and his father were ushered to their hotel room where a personalized Mariners jersey awaited Dwayne. On the back of the authentic home jersey, the name "Dewey" was stitched on the back, Dwayne's nickname since high school.
"No idea," Dwayne Anliker said when asked how he got the nickname. "It was just a name I got in high school, and it's been that ever since."
He and his dad took in the Mariners game that night, then the following day, they embarked on a full day of activities.
Starting at 12:30 p.m., Anliker and his Ultimate Fan brethren took a tour of the stadium, filmed a commercial for Root Sports, were awarded trophies as part of a presentation prior to the game, and got to meet and spend time with Root Sports personalities like Jen Mueller, Mike Blowers and Anliker's favorite, Angie Mentink, who recently conquered a bout with breast cancer.
"I appreciate her because she's a breast cancer survivor," Anliker said. "I think that's pretty cool."
From there, Anliker and the four others were ushered to the Root Sports suite above home plate, where they enjoyed a catered meal and got to spend more time with Root Sports employees.
Despite Anliker's disability, he could make out aspects of the field and stadium, and in a pinch, he viewed things through his phone as a way of making things easier.
"I only look out of one eye at a time, but depending on what I'm looking at, smaller stuff is better for me," Anliker said. "When we were in the suite at the 100 level, I could see more of what was going on."
In all, Anliker was thankful for the opportunity and thoroughly enjoyed his experience as an Ultimate Fan.
"It was such an amazing honor and it meant a lot to me," he said. "Words really can't express it. It was a once in a lifetime thing, and like I was a member of the team for a day. Everyone was so incredibly nice and caring, I can't say enough about how they treated me."
And what did it mean to his mother, Betty Anliker?
"Everything," she said, tearfully. "It just meant a lot." | https://pamplinmedia.com/ht/120-hillsboro-tribune-sports/408603-307831-hillsboros-dwayne-anliker-honored-as-mariners-ultimate-fan | 2018-10-15T18:15:16 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Turbochargers and Superchargers
Looking across the broad scope of automotive design and engineering, it becomes clear that since the advent of the automobile almost a century ago, the combustion engine has been the principle means of generating power. Although marked improvements have been made to the internal combustion engine over the course of the last several decades, the most significant has been the introduction of turbochargers and superchargers. Capable of increasing the horsepower of the combustion engine without substantially increasing the weight of the engine, turbochargers and superchargers have revolutionized the way that basic mechanics and automotive engineering is conceptualized and developed.
With the realization that turbochargers and superchargers have changed the dynamics of automotive engineering, this investigation considers a broad overview of these devices. Material design issues, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, pollution and emissions and combustion chemistry of turbochargers and supercharges will be examined with the ultimate goal of drawing some conclusions about how to improve the overall functionality of these machines. By examining these specific issues, it will also be possible to garner a more comprehensive understanding of these machines and the benefits and drawbacks of their use overall.
Turbochargers and Superchargers—An Overview
Although there are specific issues with regard to turbochargers and superchargers that need to be considered within the context of this investigation, a basic overview of the structure, function and design of these machines is first warranted. Examining the basic function of both turbo- and superchargers, researchers have noted that the systems are designed to work through forced induction systems. The premise of this system is that by forcing more air into the engine cylinder, more fuel can be forced in the cylinder as well. Each explosion of the cylinder thus produces more power because of the increased air and fuel. | https://papermasters.com/turbochargers-superchargers.html | 2018-10-15T16:55:39 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Leicester Square Gardens were laid out in 1874 under the direction of Albert Grant who subsequently donated the gardens to the Metropolitan Board of Works who then passed them on to the City of Westminster. The Square is surrounded by cinemas and contains a 19th Century statue of Shakespeare, mature trees and benches.

Many prolific authors find themselves tiring of writing the same storyline or even the same genre at some point in their career. This thought seems to catch them off guard leaving them unprepared for this great debate. They’ll start on their next book only to find it isn’t talking to them, the words just won’t flow. All the while another part of their mind is teasing them with random thoughts about a completely different story, maybe in another genre, or targeted to a different age group.
This is where a few frank discussions with yourself, your critique group, even your editor, or publisher will help. You need to figure out who you are as an author, what’s behind the change, and what does it mean to your success. If you have a strong following for your children’s books and now you want to write a romantic thriller, there are some serious challenges to making the change.
First is what do people think of when they hear your author name? If they think of that cute children’s book about Bernice the Beaver, then you’ll have a challenge using that same author name to sell romantic thrillers. If they always think of the cozy mystery series you write, readers might not like it when they pick up the new steampunk book you always kept bottled up inside.
Authors build a following of readers based on their genre and style, and some don’t want to change to another genre. You’ll find a lot of upset readers if you don’t find a way to help them navigate your change. These changes can be sorted into a couple of change groups helping you to make the important decisions before jumping in. The groups include an adult to children’s (or vice-versa), starting a new series in the same genre, or changing genres.
The easiest to change is a new series in the same genre. Using a series title ties all the books together easily into lists for the readers. You can also provide a list of all the books within each series by groups at the beginning of your books. This alerts the readers to your other groups which can entice them into trying the next series. Your author persona doesn’t have to change between the various series and you can cross-promote all of them on the same author site and to the same audience. You can even write that business or travel book without having to change your author identity.
Changing genres like a mystery to romance, or a romance to paranormal, can follow the same guidelines as series. Just be very clear in your series names to give hints to the genre changes. The Chalice Princess cozy paranormal series versus the Green Dragon Service thrillers. A genre change will require some additional work to find new readers as not all of your other followers will want to read your new genre. In fact, those original followers will continue to look for new stories in their favorite series so be prepared to set their expectations early on with the number of books you plan to write in the series.
The most difficult change is moving between age groups. Adults might read young adult, but YA readers should not read some adult stories. And moving between a young child audience to an adult audience could cause an upsetting surprise to your avid readers or parents who buy books for their children. This is a time when many authors consider an alternate identity or pen name for their change in age focus. And if you are crossing in or out of the highly sexually focused genre, a name change is almost a necessity.
While a pin name makes it easier to set the expectations of the audience by the author name it is published under, it adds some complications for the author. You now have to protect an additional identity, build a completely new audience, remember who you are as each name, and maybe even have to convince your publisher you can support two names.
Sometimes an author will use a pen name to keep readers from assuming the quality of a book if they want to try a new genre. Afterall, your readers believe they know who you are and what type of story you write based on what they read last. J. K. Rowling used the name, Robert Galbraith when she wrote her crime novel. For a while, she kept this identity change a secret making the new series start and build its followers from scratch. Eventually the secret leaked, some of the more curious readers picked up the book to see what they thought, while others ignored the new book.
If you’re starting your writing career in a specific genre and age target, then make your name selection something comfortable to live with. If you have a plethora of topics and books to write crossing some of these critical lines, then do a bit of planning prior to making the changes and be prepared for the extra work if you have more than one persona.
I chose to write all my stories under a pen name for two reasons. The first was to separate my home life from my author life. It helps my brain focus on the differences in these worlds by changing who I am. It also meant discovering who this Pat Sawtelle really is and that has been fun.
The second was to find a name that could be a bit more memorable than something like Smith, Jones, or even Johnson. A best seller called Edgar Sawtelle and the fact that California, Texas and the northeastern US have a lot of people with that last name added to my list of reasons. Oh, and the fact that it was my maiden name, helped a little. {We girls have a few advantages.}
I also made a conscious choice to use a first name that left you unsure if I was a male or female. People interpret names based on what they read. If they read paranormal and that last horrible book was by a male, then they might try a female in the same genre next (or vice-versa). Pat doesn’t provide a clear answer to this problem and hopefully gets them to pick up the book to review the teaser.
However, it does mean getting used to introducing myself by another name, signing books under that name, and flipping between names with family, friends and the day job. I think my brain had a secret plan to make me crazy by juggling names. Ha! I am getting much more comfortable with it and I will win the brain game!
Now get started writing that book and let your brain have a bit of fun determining who you are as an author! Happy writing everyone!

6 December has become my Social Anniversaries Day! This morning I saw a personalized video celebrating my 10th “Faceversary” (the anniversary of me joining Facebook).
In even bigger news, today is also the 12th anniversary of this blog. I published my first post titled “In the beginning …” on 6 December 2004. At the time this blog was called “Wired Gecko” and it has been through several iterations and used various domain names since then.
Excluding this post, I have published 3 910 blog posts and have 8 567 comments so far.
The next major release of WordPress, version 4.7,
is also due to launched today too. I’m sure Automattic wasn’t thinking about me when the release date was planned but it’s a nice synchronicity nevertheless.
I’ve been thinking about my blogging again lately. I haven’t always been particularly consistent with how much and when I write but I have been expressing myself through my writing in one medium or another for almost 25 years.
You’re miserable because you’re not writing
I write for many reasons. Sometimes, as I explained in my post titled “You’re miserable because you’re not writing”, I write “because it unblocks the dam of emotion that has built up”. Mostly, I write because I have a strong compulsion to share ideas and interesting things.
"Writing, to me, is the meaning of life"
The more I write, the more I learn and, soon enough, “that all gives way to a wonderful flow that you don’t want to stop so you keep writing to keep the pipes clear and fresh water flowing”.
I write a lot about writing because it is so much a part of how I express myself. My other big outlet is my photography and I tend to swing between writing-intensive and photography-intensive phases. Occasionally, like the last week or so, I am somewhat balanced between the two.
It’s a flow. It comes and goes. That is the nature of my writing and photography. Hopefully I will discover how to bring the two together in the year ahead. I have a feeling that achieving that will uplift both passions and create new opportunities for me.
Here are some of my thoughts on this blog’s 10th anniversary. I think they remain as relevant today as they did two years ago:
This blog began its life under a different domain on 6 December 2004. It has survived in one form or another until now, thanks and no thanks to me. I started my blog after tinkering with blogging back in the primordial days of the social Web when blogging was the New Thing, after interactive fora. Keeping a blog alive for 10 years feels like an achievement. Having 3 527 blog posts under my metaphorical belt (not counting this one) feels like I have made a meaningful contribution towards documenting my life and the things that interest me. It is something worth commemorating. | https://pauljacobson.me/tag/commemoration/ | 2018-10-15T17:54:02 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

The SoundBot SB572 is a Bluetooth-powered wireless speaker targeted at budget buyers. Priced at under Rs.1,500, the speaker offers a wide array of features such as hands-free calling, wireless connectivity, as well as a built-in 3.5mm aux port. Besides, the device is promised to deliver a crystal-clear sound experience. I have been using the SoundBot SB572 for nearly a week now, let’s find out whether its features and performance make it a good buy?
Design
The SoundBot 572 features a clean, minimalist design with smoothly rounded edges. It gets an oval-shaped, compact form factor that makes it ultra-portable. The construction seems solid, all thanks to the thick, tough outer rubber case that not only protects it from accidental drops, but also from accidental splashes of water. The USB charging port and 3.5mm jack are also covered in a rubber flap making them resistant to water.
Features
The SoundBot SB572 comes with two 3W speakers and each speaker gets 52mm premium drivers. As already mentioned, it can be used either as a wired speaker or as a wireless one. It comes with wireless Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, as well as a built-in 3.5mm aux port. Now, this is one of the speaker’s biggest plus points as most wireless speakers are devoid of wired connectivity.
All controls for music and taking calls are also placed conveniently on the top of the speaker making them easily accessible. Not to mention, it also offers hands-free calling which would come in real handy for a majority of users.
Sound Quality and Battery Life
As far as sound quality goes, the speaker leans more towards treble than the bass. I also found a significant amount distortion even at moderate volumes. The SoundBot SB572 is certainly not meant for audiophiles when it comes to sound quality. It does, however, gives adequate volume and decent sound quality for casual listening.
Elsewhere, the device’s Bluetooth connectivity is also spot-on. Pairing is simple and fast, and I was able to connect it with my iPhone without any hassles. Even the battery life is quite impressive. I got nearly 8 hours on the wireless connection. On wired connectivity, you can easily get around 10 hours of battery backup.
The Verdict
While it does not sound as good as anything from Bose, which anyway happens to be an unfair comparison. But if you’re looking for a feature-loaded portable wireless speaker without breaking the bank, the Soundbot SB572 is a good compact wireless speaker for the price.
It offers everything you’d want from a portable wireless speaker that fits your budget. Sound clarity and volume levels are decent enough. Besides, its long-lasting battery and the ability to be used either as a wireless speaker as well as a wired one makes it a good buy for the price.
I am looking for some new wireless speaker. after reading your review I am going to this speaker. thanks | https://pc-tablet.com/soundbot-sb572-review-portable-wireless-speaker-fits-budget/ | 2018-10-15T16:38:30 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Background
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocyosis is a severe inflammatory condition due to genetic defect in cytotoxic activity (e.a. :perforin). This disease is similar to the macrophage activated syndrome (MAS).
In this disorder cytotoxic CD8 lymphocytes are highly proliferating due in part to a cytokine storm condition (IFNγ mediated). In this inflammatory climate macrophages gets activated and are forming fused cells called histiocytes which are pathognomonic for the disease.
Aim
Using murine model, we are interested in studying the immune suppressive mechanisms of this disease to understand the reason why they fail to prevent the inflammation onset.
Results
As previously shown, perforin deficient mice do not have significant immunophenotype difference compared to wild type (wt) controls (percentage and absolute number of CD8, CD4, B cells and NK cells).
In the regulatory T cell compartment (Treg) which are specifically natural immunosuppressive cells, the percentage of Treg between perforin deficient mice and wt are similar from the thymic formation to the periphery (percentage of Treg from the total splenic lymphocytes: wt: 2,7% (mean) +/- 0,8333 (SD), perforin deficient: 2,228% +/- 0,6372). Moreover their homing phenotype does not differ from wt for molecules such as CCR6, CD103, CTLA-4, CCR4, CCR7, CD62L.
In vitro supressive assay based with CFSE labeling showed a normal suppressive function for perforin deficient Treg to suppress wt effector T cells.
For the forthcoming meeting, comparison of the rescue ability of the wt and perforin deficient Treg in an autoinflammatory model in vivo (Treg depleted mice) will be presented.

In August, Peggy spent a week in Kingston at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, working with 16 local performers on move – a dance installation that distills and illuminates fundamental dualities of caregiving and also of dance practice.
Cast: Fenella Baptista, Betsy Collin, Sam Crosby, Meredith Dault, Mary Farrar, Tracey Guptill, Jane Kirby, Julia Krolik, Sue Livesey, Asia Matthews, Jennifer Rees, Mark Reinhart, Kim Renders, Greg Tilson, Tammy Wang.
Following their final performance of move, we asked a few of the participants some questions about their experience.
What motivated you to participate in this project?
Mark Reinhart: Getting the opportunity to work with Peggy. Her reputation precedes her, and I wanted to take advantage of a chance to work with her. Also, after researching the project and its intentions, I wanted to suture myself to the community that was to be created, and experience the meditative activity of being cared for, and caring for others.
What was the rehearsal process like for move?
Mary Farrar: The rehearsal process was incredible. I loved the warm-ups and the moves that were completely new for me – the crescent roll for example. Muscles I had never really used before were awakened. At first, I couldn’t sleep at night because my body was so excited by the experience. Working with a partner also opened a new world for me. Peggy is so conscious of each dancer’s strengths, weaknesses and style and she pairs people expertly. The slow gentle style of movement that she revels in is one that I found personally exhilarating. Also the theme of caring and being cared for is deeply moving. The emphasis on different spatial orientations was a bit scary as I have difficulties finding my way on the street. I truly needed the guidance of my partner to help me know which directions to move – especially as the dance itself is re-performed facing all four directions. Meredith was a perfect partner for me. Watching each dancer develop and integrate with their partners over the course of the week was deeply meaningful.
What was the rehearsal process like for move?
Sam Crosby: It was JUST the right amount of time to hone our skills as a collaborative “vehicle”
How do you think this experience changed your outlook on dance? Or has it?
Mary Farrar: I have come to appreciate the essence of Contemporary Dance and also the contemporary performance focus on personal growth and expression.
Were there any unexpected outcomes as a result of your participation in move?
Mary Farrar: Actually, as a result of concentrating so much on sharing space lovingly with others, I am driving my car differently! I now see driving as a form of dance where cars share space and accommodate one another. Perhaps experiences like this could help those who suffer from Road Rage? HaHa.
What’s your favourite moment from move, and can you describe it? Mark Reinhart: My dance partner in this piece came to the work with a loaded suitcase. He almost did not participate. Knowing this, I encouraged him to stay, and after we were paired, I realised that perhaps it was my role in this piece to look out for him, in many ways. The moment before the performance, he expressed his appreciation for the space we created together, particularly in terms of his personal trajectory to the work. Then, he asked me to tell him something vulnerable about myself, something that not many people know, so that he could have further insight as to how he could care for me.
Describe your overall experience working on move and with Peggy.
Sam Crosby: Inspiring, spiritually moving, body-intensive, full of “a-ha moments”
Mary Farrar: Peggy is amazing. She gets each dancer to awaken the shared theme within themselves in a unique and personal way.
2015 was the first year of a three year residency in Kingston. Peggy will return to the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning in 2016.

Breakfast should be offered as optional. I paid for a twin room for myself. The breakfast was enormous and very traditional Japanese. We would have glady shared a breakfast between the two of us. When we went to check-out we were charged 25.00 per day for my daughters breakfast. In the end with those charges we could have stayed at a much nicer hotel in town. The owners need to put money back into the rooms. The decor was very old, out dated, fresh painting and putting in newer furnishings could go a long way.
Great hospitality, free pick up from train station.

Had all the necessary amenities
The location is a bit far from Takayama city center and there isn't too much around within walking distance. (This may be a particular problem for those without a car.) The room is also a bit small and my husband and I often found ourselves having to move out of each other's way!
The room and bathroom had everything we needed with fresh towels provided daily. There is also free parking available on site. The staff kindly gave us a coupon book with discounts at many of the tourist sights in Takayama. (By the way, I found Hida no Sato to be a superb attraction. The open-air museum is constructed in a wonderful setting with plenty of interesting information about the traditional lifestyle and architecture in the region.)

Beautiful, but distant.
Far away from the train station and town, requires rental car or 2000 yen taxi ride each way.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Beautiful location. Rooms comfortable...excellent shower. :). Excellent patio and breakfast area with stunning view.

Gorgeous setting, lovely hosts but inconvenient location
Breakfast was a little strange, a combination of Chinese, Japanese and Western, but filling and tasty. I didn't realise that they also did other meals, for a fee, suggest they let guest know about this option. Biggest problem is the location - as others have mentioned, the bus is infrequent and the area is too hilly for riding a bike, so must take a taxi (2,200 yen one way). There is nothing around in terms of shops etc and the main area of Takayama is about 5km away. Suggest they offer free pick up from station at least. Without a car it is very expensive to travel around and there is nothing to see in the area directly around their house.
The setting was absolutely gorgeous. Free use of massage chair. Breakfast was included. Nice room and managed to find a bike for me to use. Free coffee in the lounge area. I was lucky because the family are Chinese, so I had a chance to practice my Chinese, although the husband and wife do speak English. Dropped me off at the station for free and offered to take me into town. Apart from adding taxi fee onto the price, it is great value for money.

Chlorella and Its Benefits
What is Chlorella?
Chlorella is a strong detoxification aid for heavy metals and other harmful chemicals such as pesticides. It’s a single-celled, blue green algae produced through photosynthesis (the process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy from sunlight.)
Chlorella is a great source of chlorophyll and is in fact, known to have the highest amount of chlorophyll which is effective in detoxifying the liver and bloodstream, bowel elimination and keeping the bowel flora at a neutral level, plus many other amazing potential benefits.
A number of research in the U.S. and Europe claimed that chlorella can also aid the body in breaking down hydrocarbon and metallic toxins continuously; toxins such as mercury, cadmium and lead. Chlorella also helps fight environmental pollution in your body naturally.
Chlorella is very popular in Japan and over 10 million people use chlorella regularly for its natural detoxifying properties, its ability to remove poisonous substances out from the body.
For many years, Japan became the leader in chlorella production and they took over the development of chlorella around the world. In fact, the Kyushu University Medical College in Japan conducted an experiment and gave chlorella to five patients with wounds that had refused to be treated medically using conventional method which included antibiotic treatment. Three patients wounds healed satisfactorily in less than a month but the other two of the more stronger cases needed to be treated for about two months in order to heal.
Benefits of Chlorella
Studies have shown the many benefits of chlorella including good cardiovascular health, lowering of blood pressure and cholesterol levels, aiding in detoxification and supporting healthy hormonal function. To achieve these health benefits one must take chlorella supplements with a starting dose of 500mg twice daily (during or after every meal) this may also be increased to 1,500-2,000mg daily in divided doses. Here are the benefits we can get from chlorella:
1. Aids in Digestion
Chlorella has been attributed to relieving constipation and fixing digestive issues such as cramps, gas and bloating. The mix of vitamin D, beta-carotene and chlorophyll can help counter inflammation than lead to digestive problems. Chlorella also boosts the presence of healthy probiotic bacteria in the intestines important for digestive health.
2. Detoxifier
Chlorella has the ability to wrap itself around toxins found inside our bodies and keeps them from being reabsorbed (just like a little bee hive in its structure). It helps keep heavy metals from accumulating in the soft tissues of the body and the organs.
3. Immune System
Chlorella can enhance the immune system of the body to combat foreign invaders by stimulating the activity of macrophages and T-cells to increase the interference levels responsible for enhancing the immune system function. It supports a healthy immune system response and assists in the natural killer cell activity.
4. Weight Loss
As we age, our metabolism slows down and losing weight can become a challenge. In a study published in the Journal of Medicinal food, it was observed that “Chlorella intake resulted in noticeable reductions in body fat percentage, serum total cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose levels.”
Chlorella regulates hormones and helps in the metabolism of the body, reduces body fat, removes harmful toxins, improves circulation and promotes higher energy levels.
5. Anti-Ageing
Research on chlorella also reveals its ability to slow the ageing process in a person making one look younger. It decreases oxidative stress caused by pollution, stress and unhealthy diet. The reason chlorella can make you look younger is the natural increase it causes on the vitamin A, vitamin C and glutathione levels in your body, thereby eliminating free radicals and protecting the cells.
6. Blood Sugar and Cholesterol
Chlorella can greatly improve high blood sugar and high cholesterol levels in the body. Researchers observed a decline in the levels and improvement on both blood sugar and cholesterol when a person religiously takes chlorella along with a healthy and balanced diet.
7. Balance Body’s pH
Chlorella is alkaline in nature and can help balance your body’s pH. A balanced pH is important because this is the first step toward reducing your risks for cancer.
8. Energy Booster
Chlorella ensures that your body can perform well by regenerating the body and giving you the proper nourishment needed to strengthen you on a daily basis.
Never underestimate this tiny blue green algae because it is capable of doing more than most foods on the planet. Take chlorella every day and enjoy the benefits you can receive from it.
A Little Warning: Because of the nature of chlorella and it’s ability to draw in toxins, it’s important (actually it’s CRUCIAL) that you choose a chlorella that has been grown in a pollution-free environment, so that you are not absorbing any pollutants in.

In a twist of events that has as much humour as a John Kerry standup night, Microsoft and Novell are now separating from their recently touted Linux relationship.
It seems that the once favoured relationship between the two camps to push Novell’s Suse version of Linux is falling apart.
From all accounts, it would appear that the flare up has occurred as a result of the wanted introduction of the Office ‘paper clip’ and ‘dog’ Help Assistants in the Linux product set.
Jeff Matthews, Help Assistants Product Line Manager for Microsoft explained “well with the release of Vista, we have decided to retire the paper clip and dog assistants, opting for a more intelligent help product within the operating system.”
“However, we don’t want to see this old technology going to waste, so we thought it should be a part of Linux. Linux is a difficult operating system for most in the corporate world to get around, so the more help the better we believe”.
But it would seem that not everyone is in agreeance with the unscheduled technology deployment.
Mike MacHortney, Help Line Products Manager for Novell, has retorted by stating “we never liked the darn dog or the paper clip when it was in Office – why should we introduce it in to Linux? Quite frankly we’re happy to see them gone from Vista!”
The exchange has now left both parties in a squabble over what characters to use for the Linux Help system.
“For us the obvious choice is the penguin as the assistant. Maybe a penguin with a makeover that embodies the Linux spirit, but extends that spirit to the commercial and corporate world” MacHortney added.
However, this has created its own set of feuds with Marcus Macelwellenly from the Linux Freedom Users Source Control Group is outraged by the move.
“Linux was created so that companies like Microsoft and Novell had someone else in the market to answer to – so that the little guy could stand up against the corporates. Now it looks like Linux is going to the dogs!”
Linus Torvald, the creator of the Linux kernel is in agreeance with Macelwellenly. “I hated that damn dog and paper clip all the way back in windows 95 – it was part of the inspiration of creating Linux so that I did not have to see the damn dog and the paper clip.”
So where to now for the two software giants? Comments from both camps suggest that there are some serious discussions behind closed doors being held at present.
In the meantime, if you think that you have got a better help assistant, then go to to register your details.
I am of the opinion that it will never work. Those mixed marriages are always risky. and what about the kids and the add-ons.
Not to mention the bloody penguin who is probably pissed as hell that he has to make like a fucking nice guy.
Bring back “Bob” I say!

Regulatory Compliance: Identify and Correct Violations More Effectively
$167.00
Now that your institution has been awarded the funds required to carry out your research project, it is only a matter of time before the agreed upon terms and conditions between you and the regulatory entities demand more and more of your attention.
In order to successfully comply with the regulatory requirements of multiple state and federal agencies, institutions must build strong internal auditing and monitoring programs. Failure to do so could put you at risk of serious compliance violations, or grant fraud scenarios, such as these:
To protect yourself, the research and your institution, developing a robust auditing and monitoring program that will identify and correct non-compliance proactively is KEY.
You take no risk whatsoever. If you find this essential session doesn't meet your expectations or you are not satisfied for any reason, simply let us know.

PIVOTcast Episode 3: Lindsay, Ah-Sen, and Smart
Pivot is on its Summer Hiatus
Pivot is done for the year. Our 2015-16 season closed this week and we are on hiatus until September 7th.
Jake would like to thank The Steady Cafe for being a friendly home this season. He also wants to say thanks to Alexis von Konigslow for her support and to Bianca Spence for filling the dual role of Supply Teacher and Guidance Counselor at Pivot Middle School. Pivot also thanks its friends at The Scope, especially Juanita Muwanga and Emily Joveski.
But mostly, Pivot thanks its readers. In chronological order (deep breath): Mathew Henderson, Cat Kidd, Liz Howard, Raoul Fernandes, James Grainger, Sabrina Ramnanan, Dina del Bucchia, Daniel Zomparelli, Margaret Christakos, Liz Worth, Meira Cook, Kevin Hardcastle, George Murray, Chad Campbell, Elena Johnson, Cara-Lyn Morgan, Catriona Wright, Faith Vanessa Arforful, Matt Cahill, Maureen Hynes, Karen Solie, Jonathan Ball, Amina Farah, Laura Clarke, Derek McCormack, Andy McGuire, Janue Munro, Jean Marc Ah-Sen, James Lindsay, Carolyn Smart, Madhur Anund, Trevor Cole, Lana Pesch, Kim Trainor, Jeff Blackman, Patrick Warner, Zachariah Wells, Gary Barwin, Melissa Bull, Michelle Brown, Tajja Isen, A.F. Moritz, Alessandro Porco, Daniel Kincade Renton, Rahat Kurd, Cassidy McFadzean, Brent Raycroft, Laurie D. Graham, Adrienne Gruber, Soraya Peerbaye, Talya Rubin, Jordan Tannahill, Carmine Starnino, Vivek Shraya and Arleen Pare.
That’s fifty-five readers. Forty-one of them read (mostly or only) poetry and fourteen (mostly or only) read prose. Our CWILA count for the season (using self-identified genders and guided by pronouns) was 31 women and 24 men, or a 56/44 split towards women. This moves Pivot’s all-time CWILA count to a somewhat uncanny and not-entirely planned 50.00/50.00 split.
Pivot should have some of its early Fall 2016 ready to publicize on Facebook in June or July. In the interim, watch pivotreadings.ca and follow us on iTunes as we’re going to post The Scope’s podcasts over the course of the summer.

2D image of Williston Mill in Denton, Maryland decorated for Christmas in 2007. Williston Mill Historic District is a national historic district in Denton, Caroline County, Maryland. It consists of two historic structures--a grist mill and a miller's house--which share the acreage with the mill stream and race that empties into Mill Creek, a tributary of the Choptank River. The Williston miller's house is a two-story, four-bay single-pile frame dwelling, built originally between 1840 and 1850 with later 19th century expansions. The mill building dates from around 1830-1840, with the two-story section built around 1895. It is one of two grist mills that remain standing in Caroline County.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

It seems as though there’s a widespread myth out there that the acoustic guitar is a completely different instrument than the electric guitar, and that subsequently, you can’t play things on an acoustic guitar that you can play on an electric guitar.
Well, for the most part, that’s a load of hooey.
The fact is, the electric and acoustic guitars are very much the same, and pretty much everything you can play on an electric guitar you can play on a properly setup acoustic guitar.
I’m not talking about tone; there are obvious differences between the tone you can get out of an electric versus an acoustic. In that regard, they are indeed quite different instruments.
But I am talking about things like playing bar chords, scales, riffs, being able to solo; pretty much any of that stuff is 100% playable on the acoustic guitar as well as the electric guitar.
As I mentioned earlier, the key is in having a properly setup guitar. This video will talk about one of the biggest issues that people run into with acoustic guitars – the action is too high, making it incredibly hard to play certain types of chords.
Guitar setup is an important thing – not to be overlooked. The better your guitar plays, the more likely you are to play, and the more you’ll enjoy playing, all of which are good things!
Video Problems? Watch it on Youtube.
Good tips Jon… Thank You

Pocan Statement on FCC Approval of Net Neutrality:
“This historic decision will ensure the Internet remains an open space for public good. Americans deserve an open and free Internet, not a system controlled by a handful of powerful corporations. Net Neutrality provides the necessary protections for consumers and levels the playing field for budding entrepreneurs and innovators. Universally accessible, affordable and open broadband is vital to our socioeconomic livelihood and I applaud Chairman Wheeler and the FCC for approving the Net Neutrality rules.”

The grounds and restored huts are filled with artefacts, displays and military vehicles, all of which tell the story of the war. Re-enactors from the Northern World War II Association will also be on hand, in the roles of British, American, Russian and German troops. | https://pocketmags.com/history-revealed-magazine/mar-18/articles/336726/what-s-on | 2018-10-15T18:04:58 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Solid metal seed beads! These heavily plated beads have a brass base and are plated in various metal finishes. Very uniform in size, and more rounded than the Japanese glass seed beads. Especially handy for any project where you want your beads to really snug up against each other.
Seed Bead Sizes in mm (outer diameter):
6/0 - 3.5mm
8/0 - 2.5mm
11/0 - 1.8mm

About the Work
Fluid and flowing lines of light are captured within space and time. Ovsienko engages in new media practices, with a combination of long exposure photography and digital manipulation to break away from the traditional. His series Melodic Mayhem takes Picasso’s light painting in new directions, removing all remnants of the creator. He focuses on gestures of pure forms and vibrant colors which are influenced by urban art, individuality, and melodic quality.

the tough questions that may lead to a healthier relationship or to a breakup and something better for you in the long run.
Being part of a couple is supposed to improve your life, not just keep you from being alone. This personal growth may be difficult and painful sometimes, but it’s vital. Especially if you want to fit all your emotional baggage in a carry-on instead of filling up the whole 747 that takes you to your future.
You don’t want to be one of those people who go from one relationship to the next without analyzing what happened, the part you played in it, the red flags you ignored, and how these lessons impact your future, do you?
Sure, it is simpler and less painful, which is why it is so common. But those people end up with others just like them — people who are no better off from past relationships, just more damaged.
You deserve better. And so does your current or next guy.
Here are some tough questions to ask yourself about your relationship, when things get tough.
By considering them honestly, you might find the answer to improving what you have or be able to move on with more clarity and confidence.
1. Is this relationship, the way it is right now, really what you want?
You wouldn’t go to a restaurant and order “lunch,” and wait to see what shows up.
You would be very specific to get what you want. While it may not be perfect, it’s much closer and you can decide if it’s good enough to eat or if you want to order something (someone) different.
If you communicated exactly what you want, would that clear the air and allow for some great improvements? Maybe you’ve just gotten bored or distracted.
2. Are both yours and his needs getting met?
You two automatically have these four psychological needs: connection, certainty, significance, and variety. Which ones are currently getting met by you being together and which ones are not?
Are you certain you are important to one another? Are on the same team, or constantly competing? Do you create enough variety with activities, date nights, and bedroom adventures, to keep you both interested?
3. Are you speaking the wrong love languages?
If you haven’t discussed love languages with your partner, you’re missing a huge, important piece of your relationship communication! HUGE. It’s the difference in feeling loved or unloved, and that’s a big deal!
Acts of service, words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time or receiving gifts. What will it be for you? What will it be for him? You don’t speak your language, you need to speak the other person’s language. Otherwise, it’s hit or miss and that destroys perfectly good, loving relationships.
4. Are your personality styles compatible?
One of the simplest and most fun things to learn is personality styles. It explains everyone in your life and gives you a tremendous boost when it comes to communicating and relationships. It’s very close to magic!
He makes fast decisions, you need details and time to think. Or you like to have a lot of friends and he only wants a couple close ones. Most things you get frustrated with each other about (and more important than decision speed and friend numbers) can be easily explained by your personality styles, replacing conflicts with laughter.
5. Are you letting pain from the past destroy your future?
You both have baggage. It comes with the territory and it destroys what could be perfect relationships every day.
So, how are you going to avoid that? Without releasing those emotional snowballs from deep within the subconscious mind, there are a few things you can do.
First, own your stuff, your junk, your garbage, baggage, trash.
Second, as you see it get triggered within your relationship, acknowledge that all the emotion welling up inside is mostly from the past, not the current situation. It’s your awesome subconscious mind giving you warnings to keep you safe from the same pain, anger, hurt, or sadness you felt before. Thank it. Breathe through it.
Playing with these five strategies can completely shift the dynamics in your current and future relationships with everyone in your life, not just romance. Remember, life and love are supposed to be fun and empowering.

Information & Communication Technology (ICT)
ICT ENHANCES EFFECTIVENESS, EFFICIENCY AND REACH OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
Information communication technologies (ICTs) can provide farmers, entrepreneurs and others in emerging economies with market information vital to their work and success. ACDI/VOCA continues to lead the way on how to best integrate ICTs into economic development approaches and project designs to improve results for beneficiaries.
A lack of timely and accurate information is a significant barrier to competitiveness for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), which are now widely recognized as the prime engine of growth in most of the developing world. To address this gap, ACDI/VOCA uses ICT and other multimedia technologies to stimulate and meet increased local demand for market information. We also use ICTs to provide farmers and other beneficiaries with much-needed credit information and technical knowledge, assistance and services.
ICTs Spur Economic Growth in East Africa
In Kenya, Malawi and Uganda ACDI/VOCA has incorporated the use of market information centers, cell phones with SMS text, weekly e-mails and radio bulletins to provide farmers with weather, market and other information.
ICTs Build Extension Services in India
In India ACDI/VOCA helps to build effective private sector-sponsored extension services for horticultural farmers, which includes the adoption of appropriate ICT delivery mechanisms such as hand-held PDAs in conjunction with cell phones.
ICTs Strengthen Nutrition in Egypt, the public’s improved awareness, adoption of better practices and consumption of dairy products far surpassed expectations. ACDI/VOCA also developed the popular and long-running Serr Al Ard television series, which uses a lively soap opera format to subtly communicate agricultural extension messages.

I'm currently having an issue where I have a Wordpress Multisite install however when I changed the folder name in cPanel and then changed the site path in the WP Config, I keep getting a "Cannot Connect to Database" error even though the database information is completely the same.

I am setting up an appointment scheduling site using the appointment plugin.
What I want to do is automatically setup a 3rd level domain area when a visitor registers on my site, creating their own space and with appointment plugin functionality.
I ned the appointment plugin to be immediately available to a newly registered member, in their 3rd level domain area.

UPDATE: More stores are now taking SNES Classic Mini preorders.
After selling out at EB Games, JB HI-Fi, Harvey Norman and Catch of the Day, it appears that it’s now Target’s turn to try the SNES Mini pre-order game.
According to Vooks (via OzBargain), a Target employee has confirmed that certain stores appear to have started taking pre-orders in-store with a deposit needed. Of course, you can only pre-order one per person, so don’t bother trying to get a second. | https://press-start.com.au/news/nintendo/2017/08/21/target-stores-taking-preorders-snes-classic-mini/ | 2018-10-15T16:38:57 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

While all of you back home were voting, (we sent ours in 10 days ago), we were keeping busy here in Acapulco. Today Carla and Dale started doing teacher observations at New Horizon. The five classes they sat in on went well, and they will continue with observing the teachers for the next two days. They are wanting to know how well the teachers understand putting into practice the principles they learned last week at our training workshops.
Teacher interview after observation.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch (Ellen’s Casa), Elvira took me to the market to buy some chili’s, and taught me how to make enchilada sauce from scratch! We had a fun time trying to communicate (she speaks mainly Spanish, I speak only English), each of us understanding a few words here and there. Needless to say, had a great time, and the enchiladas were delicious, but somewhat spicy! (Pico)

FOUND! Miramar area, San Diego
June 7, 2010
A friend of ours found this little angel face on her way to 24 Hour Fitness this Sunday, about 1 pm. She called us to come help, and of course we did!
She was found where Black Mountain Rd becomes Kearney Villa, and intersects Candida, headed the back way to the 24 Hr Fitness that’s on Miramar. She is very shy and scared but very sweet. She’s mostly brown and has a pink and black collar. No tags, no microchip (we checked). Probably 3 months old, most likely a shep mix of some sort, but there’s no telling what her parents were told.
We need to hold her for 10 days and actively look for her parents before placing her up for adoption. We drove around the neighborhood yesterday looking for people who were looking for their dog but it was mostly light industrial in the area she was found. We’ve also put notices on Craig’s List, several lost pet websites, notified San Diego animal control, and put posts up on our Facebook pages.
Today we’ll go back to the neighborhood and see if anyone posted “Lost” pet signs around. If you know of anyone missing this dog, please contact us directly at mdgrrrl@msn.com.
Here’s a map of approximately where she was found (click on map for full-sized view): | https://pugglesnpitties.org/2010/06/07/found-june-6th-miramar-area-of-san-diego/ | 2018-10-15T17:35:56 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

The Crate Data Shell
Project description
Crash
Crash is an interactive CrateDB command line interface (CLI) SQL shell with autocompletion.
Screenshot
Prerequisites
Recent versions of Crash require Python (>= 2.7) to run.
Use Crash 0.16.0 if you’re running Python 2.6.
Installation
As a Python Package
Crash is available as a pip package.
To install, run:
$ pip install crash
Now, run it:
$ crash
To update, run:
$ pip install -U crash
Standalone
Crash is also available as a standalone executable that includes all the necessary dependencies, and can be run as long as Python (>= 2.7) is available.
First, download the executable:
$ curl -o crash
Then, make it executable:
$ chmod +x crash
Now, run it:
$ ./crash
If you would like to run crash from any directory and without using leading ./ you will need to move it to somewhere on your $PATH.
Usage
For usage information and options, run:
$ crash --help
Contributing
This project is primarily maintained by Crate.io, but we welcome community contributions!
See the developer docs and the contribution docs for more information.
Looking for more help?
- Read the project documentation
- Check StackOverflow for common problems
- Chat with us on Slack
- Get paid support
Installation & Usage
If the package was installed using pip the shell can be started by invoking crash in a terminal. We recommend to install it to the Python user install directory to avoid unwanted dependency conflicts.
pip install --user crash
Note
If crash is installed in the Python user install directory please ensure that ~/.local/bin (Linux), or %APPDATA%\Python\<version>\Scripts (Windows) is added to the system path.
crash by default will try to connect to localhost:4200. To connect to another host use the connect command inside the shell or use the --hosts argument when launching the shell.
crash started with the -v switch (once or more times) will log useful information when it comes to debugging, like what connection attempts are made and full tracebacks of server errors.
For more information about the available command line arguments see Command Line Arguments.
When you connect to a server that is not reachable or whose hostname cannot be resolved you will get an error:
cr> \connect 127.0.0.1:65535 +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ | server_url | node_name | version | connected | message | +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ | | NULL | 0.0.0 | FALSE | Server not... | +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ CONNECT ERROR
cr> \connect 300.300.300.300:4200 +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-------------...-+ | server_url | node_name | version | connected | message | +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-------------...-+ | | NULL | 0.0.0 | FALSE | Server not a... | +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-------------...-+ CONNECT ERROR
Successful connects will give you some information about the servers you connect to:
cr> \connect 127.0.0.1:44209; +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------+ | server_url | node_name | version | connected | message | +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------+ | | crate | ... | TRUE | OK | +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------+ CONNECT OK...
If you connect to more than one server, the command will succeed if at least one server is reachable:
cr> \connect 127.0.0.1:44209 300.300.300.300:4295; +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ | server_url | node_name | version | connected | message | +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ | | crate | ... | TRUE | OK | | | NULL | 0.0.0 | FALSE | Server not... | +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ CONNECT OK...
Once the shell is connected, SQL statements can be executed simply by entering them without any special arguments like this:
cr> SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables ... WHERE table_name = 'cluster'; +------------+ | table_name | +------------+ | cluster | +------------+ SELECT 1 row in set (... sec)
When the CrateDB shell is started with the option -v debugging information will be printed:
cr> select x from y; SQLActionException[TableUnknownException: Table 'doc.y' unknown] SQLActionException: NOT_FOUND 4041 TableUnknownException: Table 'doc.y' unknown ...
Limitations
Note
Due to changes in the Information Schema of CrateDB, Crash versions <= 0.19 are not compatible with CrateDB > 0.57.
Nested Objects and Arrays
Note
Since CrateDB 0.39.0 it is possible to use object and array literals and the limitation does not apply when connecting to a CrateDB instance running > 0.39.0.
While it is possible to select or filter by nested objects it is currently not possible to insert them using Crash. In order to do that the CrateDB REST endpoint or a client library like crate-python has to be used.
The same also applies for arrays.

International Conference on the Future of the Photobook
The future of the photobook is a topic of obvious interest here at Radius Books, and we are not alone. The Musee de l’ Elysee, in Lausanne, Switerzerland, is dedicated exclusively to photography and is currently showing an exhibition titled Lasting Impressions: The Fine Art & Craft of the Steidl Book. In addition, the museum organized an international colloquium on the future of the photobook with the ECAL/University of Art and Design, Lausanne.
The forum was attended by nearly 300 specialists from all branches of photography book publication and included luminaries such, John Gossage, Alec Soth, Gerhard Steidl, Joël Tettamanti.
Though there did not appear to be a consensus on the health of the industry, in which many reported that smaller runs are an increasing necessity, it was agreed there is nothing on the digital market that can eclipse good old-fashioned paper at this point. The artist and founder of the ABC Artists book cooperative, Joachim Schmid said, “The book has been around for 500 years, if you want to replace that you better come up with something pretty convincing and I haven’t seen it yet’…’The future of the book could be a pdf?

I love a good salad
I love a good salad. I really do. Most people think salads are for dieters, but I think a crisp, clean, fresh salad is one of the most versatile meals you can make for yourself, and a great way to use up whatever you have. Tonight, I had to use up bacon. Oh yes. I […]
Couscous Salad
Couscous: The pasta so nice they named it twice! I’m honestly not a huge pasta fan. I don’t crave it the way many other people do. While I’m almost always happy eating it, it’s not something I seek out, and I almost never order it at a restaurant (well, except maybe when mac and cheese […]
Basics: Yogurt
I used to think the only people who made their own yogurt were crazy hippies. Well, now I wonder why everyone doesn’t make their own. Frankly, I got tired of paying $1+ for a 6oz container of Chobani. While delicious and convenient, there had to be a better way. And after reading Make the Bread, […]

Basics: Chicken Stock
Making your own chicken stock is incredibly easy. Now I am kicking myself for not making it for all these years. But in the last month I have made two batches, basically for free. And it is thick and rich and doesn’t contain any unneccessary additives. For example, the brand I used before contained “chicken […]
Pizza! Pizza!
I. Love. Pizza.Who doesn’t? What I love most about pizza (aside from being a vehicle to get bread and cheese into my mouth) is that it is endlessly customizable.

It is surprising what you can do with an empty box an a bit of imagination. As part of the recycled project on Saturday I shared with you the Teabag Treasure Boxes I had made, from the empty box once it had finished, here is the selection that I had made previously.
Today I will be showing you how you can decorate your own box using a few simple techniques. What you will need:
An empty tea box (or any box you have to hand, paper of choice, gesso or paint, stamps, embellishments of choice and imagination!
Taking a box of your choice - this is one of my favorite teas and I do go through quite a few - it is spiced tea with a blend of ginger, cardamon, black pepper (yes) and a range of other things, it is absolutely delicious with some sugar and rice milk. It is similar to Chai, but a bit more spicy, but that is for another post...
Cover your box in your paper of choice, this will help make it more sturdy. Here I have used a brown paper bag. I spritzed it with water which made it easier to scrunched it up which will add texture to the box.
As I applied each piece I have covered it pva glue and then allowed it to dry.
The box sets quite hard, I decided to keep my box open and then I painted it with gesso, allowing some of the colour of the paper to show through.
I stuck on some letting - the word 'Create' and on the inside of the lid using handmade stamps I stamped a heart and added stamped flowers around the outside of the box..
I applied glue from a hot glue gun around the edges and around the heart.
To finish off I added some goldfinger metalic paste to the edging of the box and around the glue and it gives it a worn grungy look.
I attached one of the 'teabags' from the teabag treasure tutorial post I did last week. You can cover your box with pva glue to seal it and then your ready to go and use it
I look forward to sharing next weeks project with you.
I wish I were your neighbor!
Hey Susan, hope you are well, it would indeed be lovely to do some art together, and then we could read some of your books!
I just LUV these! The PVA glue with metallic paste? What a great look! Thank you for sharing :D | https://realityarts-creativity.blogspot.com/2013/11/tutorial-tuesday-tea-bag-treasure-box.html | 2018-10-15T18:25:28 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Following the direction of the court on September 9, a case was registered against Welldone Technology Parks Development Private Limited, its directors Umashankar Halwasiya, Sanjay Khurana and managing director Mukund Halwasiya, under sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating) and 120B (conspiracy) for cheating Suresh Kumar at Sadar police station.
Sanjay Khurana, Mukund Halwasia and Umashankar Halwasiya had filed an anticipatory bail application in the sessions court, through their lawyer Ravinder Kumar, claiming that they were falsely implicated in the case even after paying the assured Rs 70 lakh to the complainant. “The site (shops) was changed and re-allotted with the consent of the complainant and no loss was borne by him,” contended Kumar before the court. The public prosecutor argued that the company cheated the complainant by selling its floors to other parties without his consent.
Advocate Vishal Gupta said complainant Suresh Kumar had purchased a 1,500 sq ft unit (unit number 101A) on the first floor of Welldone Tech Park on Sohna road in 2008, after paying Rs 45 lakh. In 2010, the developer contacted Kumar and told him they had sold his unit (number 101A) by mistake. In 2015 Kumar found that his unit was shifted to 212A from 401A. Later he came to know that all the units were sold to different persons way back in 2010.
After hearing the contentions of both parties, additional session judge Balwant Singh in his order dated September 14 observed that the accused were first alluring the complainant for selling their property and then re-selling the same to third party at a higher rate. | https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/regulatory/court-rejects-anticipatory-bail-for-lucknow-builder-who-cheated-gurugram-buyer/60773927 | 2018-10-15T17:29:04 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

interEDGE curates Q&A to address questions from international students about job search, networking, American hiring practice and workplace culture. The following questions are from participants of our recent webinar.
Author: Di Hu
Three Simple Steps of Networking
Networking stands on the top of the priority list for many international students. Its importance is evident from conversations with professors, career advice from career counselors and the alumni panels on campus. Many come to interEDGE, not with the question “should I spend time in networking or not?” but “how can I build my network?” Here are three simple steps of networking.

All over the world, many people own a gun for protection purpose; however, you might find more people ending up with unwanted accidents with their guns too. There have been cases where other people such as kids have an easy access to the gun.
With your gun safe, there is so much you can achieve, but the gun safe also needs the care to keep it working properly. Without a proper maintenance, you can expect it to work at a less efficiency. Below are some of the tips and tricks for using the gun safe.
Contents
1. Learn more about the safe from the manual
When it comes to the gun safe brands, all you need to know about them can easily with coming up with your own combination other than the one supplied with the gun safe already. Leaving the original gun safe combination in place just makes it easy for a person to access it, as some of the brands make the initial combination to be standard all over the world.
2. Install in a secure place
For many people, the installation part is always tricky to them, as they often are unsure where to install. Having the safe installed in the wrong location will always make it so easy for the burglar to access it. Take the time to evaluate the security of different rooms so that you can have the safe installed in a secure place at all times.
Still, on installation, learn more about how to install the safe correctly from other people who have used the safe before. This will include how to move the safe into its perfect location for the heavy safe.
3. Proper safe maintenance
For a safe to keep on providing the right security to your gun, it is important that you give it the right maintenance always. The maintenance starts with inspecting your gun safe on a monthly basis so that you.
4. Wipe those smudges off the scanner
Whenever people opt for the biometric gun safes, their aim is to have an easy to access safe and also more secure. What people tend to forget is that another person can easily have access to your gun safe by taking advantage of the smudges on the gun safe reader. The best way to protect your gun safe contents is by wiping the fingerprint smudges on the safe. Simply use a soft cloth to get them off the reader.
With proper cleaning and maintenance, you can be sure that the biometric scanner will now provide unmatched security as compared to the other types of security measures most safes use today. The cleaning of smudges should be done immediately after accessing the safe. Leave it for longer, then you might just end up losing your valuables from the safe.
5. Protection from fire
It is the time that you also thought about the safe whenever misfortunes such as fire start. How is the safe built to withstand such conditions? Most people today would buy a safe that comes with improved fireproof features. This means that the safe will hold in the event there is fire where it is installed. This should help in a way to keep the guns and other valuables safe from the raging fire. What about those who have older saves that do not have fire resistant features? You will find such owners having fire extinguisher cans around the safe so that they can easily put out fire whenever it starts. in the event it gets tripped. It is also important that check the battery level so that you do not end up having an alarm that cannot go off.
7. Dehumidifiers to keep it dry
Depending on the climate and where the safe is installed, you are likely to find some moisture in the safe. The moisture is bad news for the guns in the gun safe. It is not just the guns, but additional valuables that might be in your gun safe. It is the time that now brought in a dehumidifier so that you can deal with the damp conditions. The dehumidifiers have helped many people today to keep their gun safes dry, you too can use them. The dehumidifiers come in various types so make sure that you can actually choose based on the one that you feel will deliver the best results whenever used.
It is common that you will reset the combination once you get the gun safe, just make sure that it stays a secret too. You would not want to find out that other people have the same combination. This is common for those people who change the combination and write it down on a paper and walk around with it in their wallets. Whenever a person finds or steals your wallet, he is likely to find an easy access to the gun safe. The best way would be using a combination that you can easily remember most of the time. Let it be short, but still complex enough so that people do not end up guessing it. Stop using easy to crack combinations such as birthdays, 1234, 1357 or any other common pattern. | https://reviewmoon.com/blog/tips-tricks-using-gun-safe/ | 2018-10-15T18:15:46 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Chapter fourteen: Traitor
The coward wasn't used to running. Ronon closed on him within a few dozen steps, and caught him a dozen steps later, wrestling him to the ground. "Why did you do it?" He ripped out his weapon, aiming it at the vile creature's throat. "Talk, or I'll kill you. Maybe I just will."
"No. No." The traitor was on his back, struggling. "No. Please."
Ronon was dimly aware of someone else stopping, of people watching, of people shouting. None of it mattered. The only thing that existed for him was his enemy, and the weapon that could end it all. "Please." The traitor had seen them too, his eyes flickering desperately towards them. "Help me. He's trying to kill me."
Because he deserves it. He sold us all to the enemy. He almost said it out loud, but snatched it back at the last moment. Lying didn't come easily to him, but silence did. He hauled the traitor up, and dragged him away with an arm around his body, the weapon pressed to his side.
"Please!" the coward screamed.
He saw their faces then; saw the uncertainty and the fear and the distrust. He had seen looks like these for days. Sheppard had gone crazy, then had left; that's what these people thought. They'd heard Ronon shouting at Sheppard and betraying everything his team leader had ever done for him. Not any more, he thought. Not any more. They had their traitor, and things had gone far past the point of concealment now. Weapons were unsheathed, and the enemy was someone he could meet face to face.
"McKay caught him setting a bomb in the communications suite," he told them. "Explosion in the Control Room, too. Radios down."
It would have to be enough, because it was all he was giving them. His enemy was in his grip, and that was all that mattered. A door opened, and he dragged the man down the corridor, then into a room. He threw him down, letting him strike the wall, watching him slide down, watching him try to scrabble backwards with his feet, but getting the direction wrong and getting himself pinned in the corner.
Pathetic! He wanted to kill him there and then. A coward like this! A sorry excuse for a man! And yet he had caused them all to spend days distrusting each other, and had forced Sheppard into this dangerous game. He had brought Atlantis to its knees. A worthy enemy would have been better. This was just… was just…
"Don't hurt me," the traitor pleaded.
Ronon stood over him. "Why not?"
The traitor looked wretched, but at times like this Ronon knew how to be deaf to pity. "Because… Please…"
"No threats?" He started to pace, never letting his weapon waver from the traitor's chest. He remembered how adamant Sheppard had been that the traitor was allowed to get on with his work. If his messages to Carrick stopped, Sheppard would be in danger. But too late for that now. He'd shown his hand, and he'd overheard too much back in the lab. "Not threatening me with your friend's vengeance?"
"My friend?" The traitor's mouth opened and shut. "I don't know what you mean."
"We know you're a traitor." Ronon stopped closer. "I know."
He wasn’t good at interrogation. Sheppard was better at it, and Ronon had usually limited himself to standing in silent menace at Sheppard's side. It was easier just to hurt people. It was easier just to kill. But that isn't our way, he imagined Sheppard saying. It wasn't Ronon's way, either, or at least it hadn't been once, before the fall of Sateda. He was learning how to work with words again. They needed answers, not anger.
"Just tell me why." Just the question. Maybe not words at all, but just the threat of the weapon.
The traitor stilled. Except with his team, Ronon still wasn't as good as he could have been at reading people, but he thought the man looked almost relieved. "I had no choice," he began.
"There's always a choice," Ronon snarled.
"I didn't–" The traitor tried to move his hand, but Ronon jerked his weapon towards it, finger tightening on the trigger. "You have to listen. I… I was off-world, studying an Ancient facility when… when they… they took me."
"You did this to save your skin?" Ronon was flooded with disgust. He was back on the Wraith base, learning what his old friends had done. Best to kill him now, to hurt him, to smash his face, to… He snarled, a sound of pure wordless anger. They needed answers. Sheppard would need answers, and McKay, and Teyla, and everyone else damaged by this.
"No!" The traitor was crying now. "Not mine. They… they showed me pictures. Recordings. It was horrible. He was screaming. It was… I could hardly recognise him. It was Sergeant Manning. Nick. He flew me on a few missions over the last year, and we… I liked him. We were friends, and they were hurting him."
Ronon remembered watching Sheppard tortured on that screen. He remembered standing there, all of them, all watching, all doing nothing. He made his face cold, made his voice as icy as he had heard Sheppard's on a few awful occasions. "Go on."
"Carrick said… He said that if I came back to Atlantis and helped him, he wouldn't hurt Nick any more. He said Nick's life was in my hands."
"Bet he was lying. Bet he's already dead."
The traitor flinched, then let out a breath. He looked as if he was fading, sinking into defeat. "I couldn't… I had to take the chance. If I'd said no, it would have been murder. I couldn't do that; I couldn't."
"And you wanted to save your own skin." Ronon had to be cold.
"I had to do it!" the traitor moaned. "I didn't think it would matter."
He came close to dying at that moment.
"I thought Colonel Sheppard would start asking questions. I thought someone would notice and force me to say something. I thought they'd find Nick. I thought they'd go after Carrick and put him down. I thought they'd do it before any harm was done, because they always do, don't they? You found Colonel Sheppard when he disappeared, and I thought… And even if Carrick did make it to Atlantis, there's no way he'd take it. I mean, he's just a… a thug, and we've got all the techonology of the Ancients and of Earth. I didn't think it would come to anything. I didn't think it'd do any harm."
If he had been ranting hatred for everything Atlantis stood for, it would have been easier. "You planted bombs."
"Only small ones. Controlled ones. I was careful."
Ronon hit him, smashing him across the face with his empty hand.
"I didn't want anyone to get hurt."
"Ten men dead." Ronon hit him again. "Another still missing. You gave their positions to Carrick. You murdered them." He struck him again. What would I have done? No, no, he couldn't think it – couldn't imagine Sheppard or Teyla or McKay being tortured, and Carrick promising to stop it if only he… No. No. There was only one choice. Friendship and loyalty meant everything, but there were some places where you could not go.
But friendship and loyalty meant everything… And so he struck the traitor again, blood flying from his lying lips, and again and again, until he snatched his hand back, but he was not exhausted, and the anger was worse than ever.
"I never expected it to happen," the traitor. "I thought someone would stop it. People always do - Colonel Sheppard, Doctor McKay… They can do anything. It's… it's incredible. And then people started dying, but each time I thought… I thought it would be the last one, but if I said anything, they'd kill Nick." He let out a breath. "I knew it was my fault, but I was in too deep already. I didn't know how to make it stop."
"There's always a way to stop." He struck him again.
"I know. I was coming to tell you," the traitor said through broken lips. "That's why I came to McKay's lab. I can't communicate with him any more, so it doesn't matter. The attack's coming any minute."
"When?" Ronon demanded. "How many men? What's their plan?"
The traitor shook his head. "I don't know. I don't know any of that. I just know… He told me to take out communications and sensors. I said no – that I wouldn't go this far, even if he killed Nick – but he said… He said that if I made it easy for him to take the city, no-one would get hurt. He'd use stunners. He'd take prisoners and everyone could go home. But if I didn't do it… He said he had ways to get in anyway, but it would be far messier. He said he had drones. He said someone else from Atlantis was helping him, anyway. He said everyone would die unless I helped him with this."
"When are they coming?" Ronon had to ignore the pathetic justifications, and focus on what mattered.
"I don't know, but it must be soon. But I… I only damaged the interface. It won't take long to fix. McKay… he's better than I am. Zelenka, too. They'll fix things in time. And Colonel Sheppard defeated the Genii when they came, and Major Lorne and the soldiers…" He licked his lips, smearing the blood. "I was going to confess. That's why I came, but I… I lost my nerve when you…" Another breath. "It's been killing me. I haven't slept–"
Ronon turned his back. He could kill him, of course. Perhaps the man was lying and still had a way to help Carrick. If he was dead…
Then he thought of Carrick on his way to Atlantis. They'd have to prepare a defence, and radios were down. Sheppard had gone through all this – had put them through all this – in order to save Atlantis. We're not in it for revenge, buddy. He could almost hear his team leader's voice in his head.
The last time he had seen Sheppard, he had told him he had no respect for him. He had betrayed him.
Not any more, he thought, as he changed the settings on his weapon, and fired.
It would have been better, he thought, to have killed him at the start, and not bothered to talk. Questions were not his way, and the answers had offered no help at all, and had only made things worse.
It was best to have an enemy you could hate.
******
They were barely an hour in hyperspace. Sheppard was edgy when they emerged. It was better than a long trip, he supposed – less chance of giving himself away – but it didn't feel good to think of the enemy base being not much more than an hour away from Atlantis. They hadn't fully explored all their neighbouring planets yet. Of course, with the Stargates, any planet was effectively just next door, but they had a shield to take care of that.
"You're really doing this." Manning had been quiet for the whole time they were in hyperspace. Sometimes Sheppard had feared that he had died, but whenever he looked his way, the sergeant's eyes had been burning in his flushed face.
"Yeah." He gave a wry smile, perhaps of apology. Soon, he thought. Maybe only minutes.
Manning subsided. The worst thing to remember was not the pleading, but the time he had begged Sheppard to let him join him.
"Are we hidden?" Carrick asked.
"Yeah. Safely cloaked," Sheppard answered, then realised that Carrick had been talking to the scientists. "What? You don't trust me? I'm hurt."
Carrick ignored him. Because Sheppard had no choice – because he was doing exactly what he had chosen to do – he took the ship ever closer to Atlantis. It would take about twenty minutes, he thought. Twenty minutes. Plenty of time.
Atlantis would know they were here, of course. As well as the transmitter, there were the standard sensors; Ancient sensors could, of course, see through an Ancient cloak, although Carrick apparently thought they could not. It was a simple case of transmitting that location to Daedalus, and then it would all be over. Sheppard and Manning beamed out, the ship disabled, and there they'd have themselves a nice little prison ship floating in space. There'd be time afterwards to decide what to do with them. Despite everything Carrick had done, blowing the ship up in cold blood didn't feel right. Perhaps some savage wilderness planet without a Stargate…
Time for that later, he told himself, knowing that missions could go south right at the very end if you started to relax and tell yourself it was almost over. He still had to be alert. This was the most dangerous time of all.
Twenty minutes, he thought. No. Nineteen now. Eighteen.
Where was the Daedalus? Where was that ship?
******
It felt a little like waking up. Those shocked moments of defeat had passed. There was no deception and no lies when Rodney was doing what he did best, doing what he knew best. He was working with a deadline, trying to save Atlantis from a terrible fate. All that was missing was Sheppard goading him with inane comments, urging him to hurry up, as if Rodney didn't already know that they were doomed within minutes unless he could pull off another miracle, and I don't need you to tell me, thank you very much, colonel, because: working!
Nothing yet, though. Perhaps the attack had already come, and he wouldn't know – wouldn't know a thing until Carrick and his goons burst through the door and dragged him away to foul torture. Or maybe they'd just kill him on the spot. No, he had an incomparable mind. They'd need him. They'd try to get him to serve them.
No. No. Concentrate. Still nothing. "Although I am concentrating," he said. "I'm perfectly capable of panicking and concentrating at the same time. Call it a gift."
One by one, his scientists had reported to him, drawn by the discovery that their radios didn't work, or sometimes by the sound of distant explosions. "Why are you doing wasting your time here?" he had snapped. "Go fix the city. You. You…" He had snapped his fingers, failing to come up with a name. "Shield. You, sensors. Hurry now. Chop chop."
They were back to being irritating again – slow and half a step behind him when it mattered - but, if he was honest, they had their uses. It was almost as if they had shrunk. As potential traitors, they had loomed tall. Now they were humans again, and he was himself. If a ridiculous, crazy way, everything was all right again.
And he was at the centre of it, working away. It was quiet without Sheppard, though, and without people making demands over the radio. But everything was fixable; it was only a matter of time. The only question was whether they'd fix it before the attack…
No, there was another question, too. Carrick was one step ahead of them, and had shown his hand in a way they had never expected. What if he was on to Sheppard, too? Their sensors were down, but maybe there wasn't even a transmission to hear. Maybe Sheppard was dead. Maybe they'd gone through all this for nothing.
Then he thought of the shield going back online, and thought of them raising it, while Sheppard was just outside in a ship full of enemies – of them slamming the door in his face and shutting him out.
"Fearing the worst," he said. "Panic. Despair. Yes. Yes."
It was like coming back to life.
******
They were five minutes out, and the Daedalus still hadn't come.
Switch to Plan B, then, Sheppard told himself. Nothing was certain in the Pegasus Galaxy, and there were many things that could delay the Daedalus. If it didn't show, Sheppard was to take the ship to Atlantis, and land it there. Atlantis would know they were coming, and would know exactly where they were at all times. The section would be safely sealed off – just a tiny pre-planned escape route for Sheppard to take – and ambushes would be laid. Jumpers would be massing, ready to take up positions. If the worse came to the worse, they would simply raise the shield.
Still going according to plan, he thought. Stay positive, now.
******
Teyla was in position. She had tracked down Major Lorne, and together they assembled as many of his men as they could find. When the attack came, they were ready to fight it.
Assuming that it came where they expected it to come. Assuming that it was not already underway, stealthy figures creeping through the hallways elsewhere, slitting throats as they went.
Movement behind her made her turn round. Ronon slipped in beside her without a word.
"The traitor?" she asked. She had wanted to go after him when he had left Rodney's lab, but had felt that preparing for the future was a higher priority than revenge. "You killed him?"
"Still alive." She felt nothing at that, neither relief nor disappointment. The damage that this man had done…! "Locked away." She could only see the back of Ronon's head. "Said he did it to save a comrade from torture."
She said nothing. She thought of John, and of what he might be suffering if Carrick found out the truth about him. She remembered the terrified faces of the newest scientists – men and women who had never been raised as warriors, and many of whom had never seen violent death before. She thought of Carrick's men in Atlantis, making offers – let us through that door or I kill your friend.
"Doesn't matter now," Ronon said. "Does it." He did not phrase it like a question.
Teyla let out a breath, and thought of the long days of lying and deception. She thought of Jessica, tormented because of what they had done, and Rodney raging against everybody, and Ronon overflowing with fury because he had no enemy to fight. She was fully armed now, P90 in her hands, and a pistol at her side. With her comrades at her side, she was preparing to fight for her adopted home.
No, she thought, a moment later. With her comrades at her side, she was preparing to fight for her home. It felt good, like a dose of pure water after weeks in the stinking fog.
******
He could see Atlantis below them. Beside him, Manning was silent.
"Where would you recommend landing, Colonel Sheppard?" There was tension beneath Carrick's smile.
He thought about it for a while, weighing his answers, wondering how much to bluff. He knew Carrick didn't trust him, but… He felt the sweat on his palm, sticky against the controls. "East and west piers are the best options," he said. If something goes wrong and the Daedalus doesn't show up, he had told them, this is where I'll land. Would Carrick go with whatever he suggested, or choose the opposite? He remembered chess games with Rodney – bluff and double bluff. "Let's go with the west pier," he said.
Carrick consulted the scientists, asking for direction. One of them indicated on the viewscreen. West. Then he indicated again. East.
"Set a course for the west pier, then."
Sheppard tried not to react to the sly triumph in Carrick's eyes. He was aware of his breathing, aware of his heartbeat, aware of Manning at his side, and his city below him, beautiful on the ocean.
It looked almost close enough to touch, if only he reached out.
******
"And he won't know." Rodney jabbed at his tablet, then raced from it to the screen on the wall. "He won't know anything wrong. He won't…"
He stopped.
"Radek!" He shouted it, then he screamed it again, running into the hallway, hand on the edge of the door. "Radek! Somebody! Anybody! Are you all deaf? Radek!"
******
What if something had gone wrong, and they didn't know he was coming? He could lower the cloak for a moment, and hope they saw him. He could fire a drone somewhere harmless, perhaps skimming the very top of the control tower, like a beacon shouting, 'Here I am.' The Ancient technology responded to him, like a cat leaning into his touch. This was stronger, far stronger, than the controls in the puddlejumper. He just had to give it the thought…
"Colonel Sheppard?"
Close enough to see the towers now, with blank windows that showed nothing of what lay behind them. Everything looked normal, but yet… but yet…
Carrick said other things, issuing orders to his men. Sheppard knew they were gathering in the rest of the ship, ready to begin the assault.
How many times had he flown home like this in a puddlejumper, his team at his side, heading back at the end of the day? He knew this sight, but somehow it had never seemed so intense and shining. He saw every tower, every spike, every balcony, illuminated in the darkness… And then they were going down, moving slowly and silent through the pale towers, heading for the pier. He saw the water below, close enough to see the white-topped waves. He brought the ship around, and saw the core of the city, full of the only people alive that he cared about, although he had spent days pretending that he did not.
The ground drew closer. Almost there, and then it would be real. Almost there…
The lights across the city went out. The ship very gently came to rest, and he felt the faint vibration that was the doors opening, men already spilling out.
The lights went on again. On, and off. On, and off. Three short flashes; three long…
And when it came to it, there was no thought at all, just instinct. He fired two drones, sending one into the very top of the main tower, and another into the tower above the west pier. A third he sent to impact just outside the door of the ship, where the enemy was thronging.
He reached for a fourth, but Carrick was already moving. He tried to take the ship back into the air, but Carrick was already acting. Sheppard was more tired than he would have liked, and still sluggish from the effects of the stunners. The Ancient technology slipped away from him like water, and although he tried to react to what was coming, he was far too late.
Carrick had already pulled the trigger. Sheppard heard the bullet strike the chair at his back. That was the first thing he noticed, really, before the pain.

Article first published as Everything Must Go on Blogcritics.
Everything Must Go was directed by Dan Rush. This is his debut as a director. Will Ferrell (Nick Halsey) lends an everyman face to suburban failure and renewal in this dark comedy. Alcoholism and depression are addressed in this movie, hefty topics for an independent film but they are handled deftly and respectfully.
It begins with Nick Halsey losing his job. If you think it can’t get worse than that for a suburban married man in a mortgage, it does. When he gets home, he finds all his possessions, including clothes, strewn across the front lawn. Can’t get worse? Yes it can. Soon after he arrives home he finds he cannot get into the house as his wife has changed the locks. This is when we begin to see he is an alcoholic. He plops down on the easy chair in the yard and decides to have a yard sale. The course of events that follow involve a young kid who visits him on the lawn (Kenny Loftus played by C.J. Wallace who is the son of Notorious B.I.G. in real life). Their interplay is marvelous because it is tender and human.
Kenny doesn’t judge Nick for his misgivings. Instead, they find a common ground where they share a love of baseball and a common theme of loneliness. For me, this relationship was the most significant. There are other ones in the movie though. Samantha (Rebecca Hall), Nick ex-wife, is adamantly against him. Though we don’t know the details it can be boiled down to the well-known failings of an alcoholic in a marriage. Details show us that Nick was not just a casual alcoholic but a raving black-out type. He’s quite lucid and sensible in the movie though. The cop that drives by and has befriended Nick, Frank Garcia (Michael Peña), seems to have Nick’s best interest at heart but that remains to be seen. Needless to say, Nick’s days on the lawn must come to an end. When they do, we see a transformation. While a bit predictable, it is the journey that held my attention. What would you do if you lost everything in a day? This movie let’s that “what-if” play out to a clear conclusion.
I enjoyed this movie immensely, it was an image of our humanity. Who has never been afraid of living out in the street? At a time in history when so many people are being forced out of their homes, it can be cathartic to watch this. Will Ferrell shows us in this film that he can act. Sure, he is funny but his acting makes it easy to believe he is homeless.
Watching Nick and Kenny together is touching. With all the bad going on in Nick’s life, he takes the time to get to know Kenny. I know from personal experience as a teacher kids require patience. The other relationships are a little flat and I thought could have been developed more. Still, this movie was valuable in the way it portrayed Nick’s relationship with Kenny. There is a lot to take away from that and it makes Everything Must Go highly entertaining. | https://rileyonfilm.com/everything-must-go-movie-review-2/ | 2018-10-15T18:24:52 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Interview with Dr. Hyun-Song Shin of Bank for International Settlements (BIS) by Lutfey Siddiqi
As I joined the annual meeting of the IMF & World Bank in Washington DC last month, I felt a sense of dissonance. There was clearly no sense of crisis, hence no sense of urgency. Economic and financial indicators look sequententially better and extraordinary monetary stimulus may soon be pared back. Banks and regulators catalogued the series of measures taken over the past decade that should’ve rendered the financial system more robust. At the same time, there was nervousness about a relapse or worse, brought about by a cocktail of incomplete reforms, continuing imbalances, tech disruption, political uncertainty and
divergent positions on global interaction.
On that backdrop, the challenge of risk identification, assessment and sequencing of action becomes all the more daunting. To help us with that, I asked a few questions to Dr. Hyun-Song Shin, whom I met just after his panel on “Systemic Risk and Macroprudential Stress Testing”.
Dr. Hyun-Song Shin is a member of the Executive Committee, Chief Economic Advisor and Head of Research at BIS. Prior to that, he was a Professor of Economics at Princeton and Professor of Finance at London School of Economics (LSE). In 2010, he served as Senior Adviser to the Korean president, formulating stability policy and developing the G20 agenda during Korea's presidency.
How does your notion of the “global banking glut” relate to current account imbalances? Isn’t it current account imbalances that lead to the risk of financial crises?
Not always. In the case of the subprime crisis, an important feature of capital flows was the ”round-tripping”, where European banks borrowed dollars short-term from US money market funds, and then sent it back to the US by purchasing subprime mortgage securities. But since the outflows to Europe were matched by the inflows from Europe, the changes in net flows were negligible, so that these flows were virtually invisible to someone who looked only at the current account balance. European banks had claims of $856 billion on US borrowers in 2002, but this grew to over $2 trillion by 2007. This increase coincided with the rapid growth of the asset-backed securities (ABS) issuer sector, which grew to well over $2 trillion by 2007. Subprime securitisation depended heavily on the activity of European banks. Some of the short-term dollar funding came from US money market funds, but a substantial amount came from the currency swap market, where European banks borrowed dollars by pledging other currencies (euros, for instance) as collateral.
Tell me more about FX swaps. How large are the exposures?
As you know very well from your former career as a banker, an FX swap is similar to other collateralised borrowing arrangements in that the borrower posts collateral. However, the accounting convention deems FX swaps not to be debt, as the collateral is cash. Recently at the BIS, we have put a number on the size of this “missing debt”. Of the $58 trillion of FX swaps and related exposures, 90% is denominated in dollars and an estimated $13–14 trillion is owed by non-banks outside the US. For comparison, world GDP is about $75 trillion, and global trade $21 trillion. Most of the swaps are short-term. Around three quarters have maturities of less than one year, and that of the typical transaction is much shorter.
What are the risks? If they are collateralised, they should not pose any credit risk.
You’re right about the credit risk. Since cash is the collateral, risk of loss on the part of the lender is minimal. But that is not the only risk. The main problem is the maturity mismatch, as long-term commitments may be funded by short-term swaps. If there is another deleveraging of the global banks, as we saw during 2008, we may see a similar funding squeeze. And since most of the FX swaps are in US dollars, there may be a short squeeze on dollar funding as we saw during 2008.
What can policymakers do to mitigate these kinds of risks? Shouldn’t advanced economies also adopt macroprudential tools, just as emerging market economies have done? Have we all become more Asian in that respect?
It’s true that economists’ views on regulation has changed quite a lot since the crisis. Regulation, by its nature, is an interference in the workings of the economy, but the intention is to counter other distortions. This is a variant of the “second best” argument. Adding a distortion (regulation) results in a better outcome if it mitigates other, more serious, distortions that make the financial system vulnerable to much worse outcomes.
Very few people would say that we should abolish financial regulation in the domestic context, but things get much more contentious and difficult in the international context, especially when discussion turns to capital controls to deal with boom-bust cycles. Unlike for domestic financial regulation, the frictionless economy still exerts a powerful hold as the benchmark to aim for in the international context.
My sense is that the contrast is due to an outdated and misleading framing of the questions that makes us blind to some vulnerabilities, and too quick to condemn solutions. Actually, a proper framing of the issues puts the domestic and international dimension on a more equal footing. But emphasis on controls at the border is equally misplaced; it confuses outward symptoms and underlying causes. It perpetuates the flawed framing of the questions.
What is the proper framing, then? How should we approach the problem of global financial stability?
The global economy is not just a group of islands, but a set of nodes connected by a dense network of financial claims. The image is of a matrix, not a collection of islands. The lesson is to distinguish underlying causes from outward symptoms. Yes, the 2008 financial crisis was in large part a cross-border phenomenon, but focusing on capital flows confuses the symptoms (capital flows) from the underlying causes (excess leverage and funding risk). If the problem is excessive bank leverage and funding risk, then address these risks directly with traditional microprudential, or regulatory tools. Applying these microprudential tools with macroprudential intent, or the intent to work on the whole financial system, is what makes them part of a macroprudential framework.
What about exchange rates? Where do they fit into your story?
Exchange rates affect the economy not only through a trade channel but also through a financial channel. The financial channel goes in the opposite direction to the trade channel. A stronger currency goes hand-in-hand with a lending boom and buoyant investment activity on the back of strong capital inflows. The effect is particularly marked for emerging market economies, as we witnessed during the boom in the immediate post-crisis years. Unfortunately for them, the financial channel also works in reverse, as the recent period of dollar strength and growth slowdown has shown.
What is the mechanism, exactly?
The financial channel of exchange rates operates through valuation changes on balance sheets. For instance, a weaker dollar flatters the balance sheet of dollar borrowers whose liabilities fall relative to assets. From the standpoint of creditors, the stronger credit position of the borrowers creates spare capacity for credit extension even with a fixed exposure limit, for instance through a Value-at-Risk (VaR) constraint. The spare lending capacity is filled through an expansion in the supply of dollar credit.
There are knock-on effects of the risk-taking channel on the government’s fiscal position, too. When credit supply expands, so does the set of investment projects, raising economic activity and improving the fiscal position. If corporate dollar borrowing is done through state-owned enterprises, as is the case for the oil and gas sector in many EMEs, then the fiscal impact may be even more direct through the dividends that are paid into government coffers.
Moving to BIS banking regulation. The banks say regulation is too tight, and this hurts lending to the real economy. Do you agree?
Banks are intermediaries. They borrow from other lenders, combine the borrowed funds with their own funds, and then lend the combined total to ultimate borrowers. Bank capital refers to the bank’s own funds. The more capital a bank has, the more own funds it has to lend out. But bank capital plays a more important role than this for overall lending. As well as lending out its own funds, a bank with plentiful own funds is able to borrow more from its creditors, and on much better terms than if the bank is poorly capitalised. So, if the objective is to unlock bank lending to the real economy, ensuring that banks have enough capital to support their lending activity is vital.
It is also true that bank capital is a loss-absorbing buffer in the sense that the bank’s own funds can absorb losses from lending activity without imposing losses on the creditors to the banks. But solvent banks can sometimes be reluctant to lend, and weakly capitalised banks may seek to improve solvency metrics such as their ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets by cutting back on lending. If a bank’s solvency metric is expressed as a ratio, there may even be some apparent tension between the policy objective of unlocking bank lending and the supervisory imperative of ensuring the soundness of individual banks.
But this tension between the monetary policy objective and the supervisory imperative is more apparent than real; both the macro objective of unlocking bank lending and the supervisory objective of sound banks are better served if banks have more capital. In general, sound banks lend more, and do so in a sustainable way over the cycle.
We are at a juncture when the major central banks are either normalising monetary policy or will do so in the near future. What are the risks now?
Experience has taught us that bond markets can move abruptly and “overreact” relative to the benchmark where the long-dated yield is the average of expected future policy rates. The possible “snap-back” in bond markets is something we should be looking out for.
Here, monetary policy communication is an important element. We often hear the argument that the market is pricing in this or that action of the central bank, and that any deviation would upset the market. This type of argument neglects how market participants have become conditioned to the manner in which they interact with the central bank. Jeremy Stein put it well in his last speech as a Fed Governor. The more the central bank whispers in order not to upset markets, the more market participants lean in to hear better.
Predictability and gradualism may not be a virtue if market participants take them as a commitment not to pull the rug from under their feet while they build up leverage and risk-taking positions. Tobias Adrian and I argued in our 2008 Jackson Hole paper that predictability and gradualism may have been enabling factors in the build-up of leverage before the Great Financial Crisis.
Dr. Shin - Thank you so much for your time.

A Tennessee property manager is now on the unemployment line after calling the police on a Black man who broke a rule at an apartment complex pool, while ignoring similar offenses by white folks.

Trilogy Residential Management announced on Friday the termination of Erica Walker, who managed Riverset Apartments in Mud Island, Tennessee. The company fired her “immediately” after an investigation, adding that Walker “will never be employed” again at one of its properties.
Walker’s dismissal stems from a viral video posted by Camry Porter, a tenant at the apartment complex, according to WREG-TV. Porter, her boyfriend and her godchildren were trying to enjoy the pool on July 4. Walker, who is white, ordered Porter’s boyfriend to remove his socks while dangling his feet in the pool. The former property manager pointed to a sign that prohibited socks and other inappropriate attire in the water.
Porter believed that Walker singled them out because of their race. She recorded videos showing White people in the pool wearing baseball caps and other prohibited clothing in the pool.
“It does look funny. It’s 25, 30-plus white people out here and you haven’t said anything — you’re partying with them. You’re partying with them! But when we come, it’s an issue,” Porter said, according to the news outlet.
Walker ignored the racial profiling allegation and called the police. Porter decided to leave before the police arrived. But she shared the encounter on social media.
“To anyone that personally know me, knows I NEVER make things a race issue. I honestly feel like it’s enough of that going on. Throughout my years I’ve ran across white people who were openly racist and I’ve known white people who truly saw no color. But on today, THE 4TH OF JULY, I was apart of something that truly hurt and angered me to my core,” she wrote.

- – The First Ten TT Years – Part 2 – TT 2009

- Updated: January 8, 2017
James Hillier’s second TT Races campaign, saw him link up with Buildbase Bournemouth Kawasaki, as he moved into 1000cc action for the first time on the Mountain Course.
Prior to TT 2009, James stated his ambitions for his second two week campaign, on the famous Manx roads, he said:
“I really enjoyed my racing at the TT last year and although it was totally different to anything else I’d done before, I totally loved it. Once I got going, I started to piece the course together and I was delighted with the results I achieved.
I just rode steady and concentrated on learning the course and steadily improving my lap times which was an approach that paid dividends.
Before TT 08 had even finished, I’d decided that I wanted to return and to come back with a great team like Buildbase Bournemouth Kawasaki is brilliant.
Riding in all classes will give me plenty of track time and I want to build on what I learned last year and progress even more.”
Continuing from where he left off at TT 2008, practice week would see him continue his rapid progress around the most famous road race circuit in the world.
Race week kicked off with a solid 18th in the Dainese Superbike race, finishing in the process the leading Kawasaki mounted competitor.
Another 18th place finish followed in the opening Relentless Supersport encounter, whilst the Royal London 360 Superstock race would yield at the time, a new personal best TT result, finishing a very creditable 14th.

Next up was the second Supersport race, held in damp conditions. James went onto finish 17th, to continue his record of securing at least silver replica finish, in every race he completed thus far, during TT 2009.
A dramatic Senior race, would see his race week conclude in great style. Recording for the first time a top ten finish, he finished an impressive ninth, along the way lapping in excess of 125 mph.
Now established as an accomplished, consistent and dependable TT Races competitor, James stock in the pure road racing world, was growing all the time.
Everyone could tell, the determination, drive and ambition he had to one day make it to the podium, on the Isle of Man.
With this in mind, it was no surprise to see another well known outfit acquire his services, for TT 2010, which where Pete Extrance’s Bournemouth Kawasaki team.
