I've done this several times going from larger HDD to smaller SSD and I wound up with a bootable SSD drive. One step you have to remember not to skip is to use Disk Utility to partition the SSD as GUID partition scheme HFS+ before doing the clone. If it came Apple Partition Scheme, even if you let CCC do the clone, the resulting drive won't be bootable. CCC usually works in "file mode" and it can easily copy a larger drive (that's mostly empty) onto a smaller drive. If you tell CCC to clone a drive you did NOT boot from, it can work in block copy mode where the destination drive must be the same size or larger than the drive you are cloning from (if I recall). -I've actually done this somehow on Disk Utility several times (booting from a different drive (or even the dvd) so not running disk utility from the drive your cloning) and had it work just fine from larger to smaller bootable clone. Definitely format the drive cloning to first, as bootable Apple etc.. -Thanks for pointing this out. My only experience using DU to go larger to smaller was when I was trying to make a Lion install stick and I was unable to restore InstallESD.dmg to a 4 GB USB stick but of course the reason that wouldn't fit is there was slightly more than 4 GB of data. -Foil plaid lycra and spandex shortall with metallic slinky insets.

The company is opting instead to add $3 billion to its stock-buyback program. -With the deal breaking up, Sysco will pay a $300 million termination fee to US Foods and a $12.5 million fee to Performance Food Group, which had agreed to buy some US Foods facilities. Sysco, based in Houston, plans to make the share repurchases over the next two years. -Rosemont, Illinois-based US Foods operates a major distribution center in Fishers. Sysco has a large warehouse at 4000 W. 62nd St., in Indianapolis. -Sysco had fought for more than a year to gain government approval for the transaction, which antitrust regulators said would hurt competition and lead to higher prices. Sysco and US Foods dominate a market known as broadline foodservice, which supplies school cafeterias, restaurants and hotels. Sysco had argued that the acquisition would bring $1 billion in savings, letting it offer lower prices to customers. -Investors have responded with relief to the deal’s demise, reflecting concerns about the company undertaking an ambitious merger. Sysco shares rose 3.1 percent the day the transaction was halted by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, and the stock climbed again Monday morning after the merger was withdrawn. -Mehta blocked the merger on June 23 when he granted a Federal Trade Commission request to delay the transaction. The FTC had sued the companies in February, saying the deal would give Sysco an oversized share of an industry where it’s already the biggest player. -In arguments before Mehta in May, the two sides clashed over the scope of the market in which the companies compete. Sysco and US Foods argued that the commission was relying on a “tortured” analysis, ignoring the variety of distribution channels available to customers. -Sysco said on Monday that it weighed embarking on an appeal but decided against it. -Shares of Sysco rose as much as 1.6 percent to $39 in early trading. The stock had slid 3.3 percent this year through the end of last week. -Pencarian FILM Untuk "Peace Breaker 2017" -yuk mampir ke channel say.. -Edges East provides the l.. -A corrupt cop makes one w.. -Peace Breaker 2017 ~ 破�.. -Náo Loạn - Peace Break.. -Please subscribe and hit .. -uploaded in HD at http://.. -I cannot believe I manage.. -Below you'll find some great videos that will encourage you, train you and build you up in hearing from GOD and being able to let HIM fulfill HIS plan in your life. -SOMETHING NEW THAT WILL HELP YOU HEAR GODS VOICE! -How to Understand and Rightly Divide It & How It Applies to Life! -In this important teaching Terry reveals the clear distinction between the Spirit & Soul and how critical it is that we learn how to operate in the Spirit and not be deceived.

Baking (not only pies), is a cooking method where tools DO actually make the man, which means that it is very hard or nearly impossible to do it successfully without proper bakeware. -With years of experience under my belt, I’ve learned about and discovered what truly matters when looking for bakeware to buy, and I am going to teach you later in the article. -Also, I have reviewed what I believe to be the best five non-stick bakeware sets out there, so make sure to check them out if you are in search of one. -The first and most obvious reason is – because food doesn’t stick to it! I do not want to sound overly simplistic, but any chef (or mom, as a matter of fact) knows that pans that stick will absolutely mess up the outcome. -People normally solve this problem by oiling up, but I don’t like it since it makes the food greasy. Using non-stick bakeware is a healthier, more convenient, and more practical way of baking. -The next thing that you might not have known is that non-stick bakeware is so much easier to clean than more conventional types. It is a no-brainer really – if nothing sticks to the surface then there won’t be anything to scrub, scrape or wash off. -This trait right here will save you tons of time as well as frustration, and it might motivate you to bake more often because of the hassle-free cleaning process. Just make sure to maintain the bakeware. -​Lastly, even heat distribution is another thing that you should look for, and this type of bakeware enables it. -Here's the deal: heat distribution most likely won't affect the quality of the result, but it will make the bakeware heat up more quickly which will ultimately decrease the cooking time. -Investing a little bit of time into research can save you a lot of money and trouble in the long run, and that is why you need to read this section carefully. -Bakeware sets differ regarding materials, abilities, cost, and maintenance, so learning about some general features of these products will help you decide which type will fulfill your demands. -Bakeware can be made from different kinds of materials including iron, glass, copper, steel, etc. -Today I will mention only the types that are related to products I reviewed in this article. -It is important to know that each material yields different cooking properties so study these paragraphs to find out which one is right for you. -Carbon steel – this material is light, durable, and reacts to temperature changes very quickly, meaning that it can heat up fast. Even though is lightweight, it is a bit heavier than copper and doesn't retain heat as well as iron. It's a good choice for baking meats, veggies, bread, and cakes. -Copper – it is an excellent heat conductor and doesn’t need pre-heating since it gets hot very quickly. Very light, but also quite expensive compared to other bakeware materials. Also, it isn’t the best choice for recipes that require baking under very high heat. -Silicon – good for foods where sticking is an issue, such as breads, cookies, and cakes. It is light, affordable and dishes will slide out of it easily. The one downside is that it can be frustrating to wash because it is so elastic, but luckily, most of the silicon bakeware is dishwasher safe. -Since you’ll be buying an entire set of products, it would be a good idea to find one that is suitable for all kinds of baking jobs. Make sure that all the basic items such as pie pan, muffin pan, loaf pan, cookie sheet, cake pan, or whatever you need, is included in the package. -This is a feature that most folks overlook, and it makes a world of difference when it comes to handling the pan. It's easy to move the dish around when it's cold but taking it out of a scorching hot oven is a different story (trust me, I know). You’ll try to be cautious not to burn your fingers so it is easy not to pay attention to the contents of the pan which can lead to spillage and a messy kitchen. -Look for bakeware that has nice, ergonomic handles or handling areas. Some models have silicon added to these parts for extra protection and ease of use. -Not all types of bakeware can withstand the same temperatures; as a matter of fact, this trait greatly differs from product to product. Certain pans are oven safe to up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, while others cannot take more than 350. -This is a significant difference so pay close attention to this detail when buying a set. -Now, let’s get into the meaty part of this article – the reviews. -After trying out many sets, I’ve reached some conclusions and decided to put together a list of my favorite ones. -Keep in mind that these are my personal choices, but they are also top rated products. -Rachel Ray is a world-renowned chef and TV personality, and her famous Cucina line of products never fails to deliver. Here, we are dealing with an excellent, 10-piece set that I personally think very highly of. -The material that this bakeware is made of is carbon steel, and the non-stick, latte-colored coating looks very pretty and does the job well. -A thing that I didn’t like about the construction of this set is that everything is so bulky. It is not a huge issue, but folks who lack storage space will not be thrilled with these products. -As far as items are concerned, the set includes two loaf pans, two cake pans, two cookie sheets, two pie plates, a muffin tin, and a plastic cake pan topper. -In my opinion, this is more than enough, but I’m sure some folks are going to be disappointed because there’s no pizza pan included. -The handles have silicon grips attached to them, and this is a big bonus when it comes to practicality and handling. Also, the rolled edges allow you to grab the pan more easily and move it around securely. -The pan can withstand heat of up to 450 F, and I think that this should be sufficient for most baking jobs. Make sure not to go over this temperature because you could burn the pans. -Copper has gained a lot of popularity in the cooking world over the last few years, and honestly, I can only say good things about it. Copper Chef is known for a plethora of cookware, and now we are taking a look at their baking set. -As I've mentioned before, copper is a fantastic heat conductor, and the heat distribution in this material is as even as it gets. -Personally, I find the latter feature very important because I like to have consistency in my cooking. -This is a 12-piece set that consists of a 12-cup muffin pan, a cookie sheet, a loaf pan, a square pan, and eight pieces of silicon ramekin cups with lids. -Ok, so I think it is a bit unfair for a company to advertise a set of twelve copper products while only four of them are actually made of this material. While the ramekin cups are lovely, they seem to be a cheap filler in this set. -As far as handling is concerned, most of the products in this pack do not have handles, so you have to rely on the rolled edges for gripping. This is a big disadvantage in my opinion, and greatly handicaps the ease of use. -These black, sturdy-looking baking dishes remind me of old-school bakeware sets that people used to bake with a few decades ago. However, this is a modern and versatile set that should fulfill most of your demands. -The ChefLand set is made of carbon steel; it looks pretty plain but has a non-stick coating that's quite effective. One thing that this material is good at is even heat distribution, so you won’t need to worry about hotspots. -The products are dishwasher safe, however, after several months of kind of cleaning, some items started to form rust on the outer edges, which is a big minus. I would recommend washing them by hand. -When it comes to the items, ChefLand’s set includes a roasting pan, a round pizza pan, a large and medium cookie sheet, two round cake pans, a square cake pan, a loaf pan, an oven crisper pan, and a 12-cup muffin pan. As far as I’m concerned this set has everything covered! -Most of the dishes have handles on them, and even those which don't, have a nice grip area that allows for good handling. -Unfortunately, there is no silicon padding or protective surface so you will need to use gloves or cloth. -This bakeware set comes to us from Sunbeam; it is a bit smaller set in terms of the number of items in it, but a worthy addition to today's list. Oh, I forgot to mention it’s cheap as chips! -The material these pans are made of is carbon steel, and its non-stick features are achieved with a xylan coating interior and exterior. The black color gives it a pretty plain, non-exciting look, but I personally do not mind this. -The Sunbeam set has only 5-pieces, which is significantly less than other sets we reviewed today. The dishes included are a loaf pan, a cookie sheet, a 6-cup muffin pan, and two round cake pans. -One disadvantage of this set is that it cannot handle temperatures higher than 400 F, which is quite limiting because some recipes require more heat. -All of the pans have handles or enough room to grab them properly and handle safely. -Now as I was reading some online commentary, many people complained that pans arrived dented or bent when they ordered them, so this might be an issue. -I haven’t experienced this myself, so I just want to put it out as a warning. -This set differs from others I reviewed today because it is the only one that’s not made of metal. -Boxiki Kitchen brings us this 3-piece silicone set that bread and cake lovers might find interesting. -As I’ve said, these products are made of silicone which has its pros and cons. -The good thing is that food will just slide out of it, but it might be irritating when trying to wash it by hand because it’s so bendy. A lot of people raise concerns about chemicals in this material, so you’ll be glad to know that this set is FDA approved and non-toxic. -The set comes with three items – a round cake pan, a square brownie pan, and a banana bread/meatloaf pan. -All of the dishes are equipped with metal handles which allows for a nice and solid grip, so you won’t have to worry about the pans slipping out of your hands. -Silicone is generally oven safe up to 500 degrees F, which is fantastic and much better than some metal products, so you won’t need to worry about burning your bakeware. -However, the metal handles don't seem to take high temperatures very well, and I've heard some reports of them flaking and bubbling at 400 F. -I hope that the article was helpful and that it got you acquainted with the basics of bakeware. -Now, the time has come for me to declare my top pick of the day, and the product that got most of my sympathies is Rachel Ray’s 10-piece Cucina Set. -Its beautiful design is what attracted me to this bakeware set, but the excellent performance made an even stronger impression. -Non-stick surface does its job flawlessly, and the carbon steel construction is sturdy and strong. -This is a very good list, i have tested myself the Rachel Ray’s 10-Piece Cucina Bakeware Set and i’m satisfied with it, it fulfill most of my daily cooking. -Are film trailers spoiling movies? -In April we asked if high ticket prices were ruining your visits to the cinema. Yes, you said overwhelmingly. But something else has put a strain on my relationship with the cinema – and it’s not the popcorn. -Have you ever gone to your local cinema to watch a new film only to feel you’ve seen it before? I know I have. ‘Spoilerific’ film trailers are now often so detailed it seems hardly worth watching the movie itself. -Imagine if the trailer for Casablanca told you whether Ingrid Bergman went off with Humphrey Bogart or Paul Henreid at the end. Or if the trailer for Citizen Kane revealed just what the dying man meant when he muttered the word ‘Rosebud’. -And it seems that even some film directors agree. Colin Trevorrow, director of new film, Jurassic World, has said he think that trailers have shown far more of the film than he would have wanted. -In the last couple of months, I’ve paid £17.50 a ticket to see two films I’ve been anticipating for some time. OK £17.50 sounds steep, but that was for iMAX 3D and I’d still have paid more than £10 for a ‘normal’ ticket. -But I left the cinema unfulfilled, because I felt like I’d seen them both six months before. -In both cases the trailer revealed the entire structure of the story, key plot twists and expensive action sequences. Throw in a few character deaths for good measure and you’ve got the basis of a significant chunk of what you’ve paid your money for. -I really did feel cheated by what the studio had wanted me to see in advance. -So is this just a modern trend? I checked out trailers for 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, and 1964’s Goldfinger to get a bigger picture. -Both revealed some well-known scenes (including Goldfinger’s iconic laser and dialogue), but the plot basics were instead explained by voiceover, rather than any especially huge visual giveaways. -Besides, the chance of actually seeing these trailers was significantly lessened due to the technology available at the time of release. Which got me thinking further. -‘If you don’t like it, don’t watch it’, I hear you cry. I wish it were that simple. In the age of the internet, exposure has increased tenfold. -Marketing campaigns target social media and television, while the days of a simple poster are gone. Why commission a still image when you can display scenes from the film on a screen in a station or other public place? -Not only that, but trailers are also forced upon you in the cinema itself before other films. Without a blindfold and a soundproof booth to hide in you have little choice. -It’s not that I have a problem with marketing and ads. But they’re spoiling the experience. I don’t want to see all the best bits wrapped up into two minutes, six months ahead of release. -Have you had a film spoiled by its trailer/marketing? Is Hollywood revealing too much in a desperate attempt to put bums on seats? -Do ticket prices ruin your film-going experience? -Something George mentioned earlier about Terminator 2 trailer jogged my memory about another film from the same franchise, Terminator Genisys. -To promote the film, a trailer had been released that included a major plot twist ACTUALLY in the trailer. Now, I had heard about this trailer and had been purposely avoiding it. However, even when you try to avoid spoilers, sometimes it’s out of your control. When I went to see Mad Max, they showed the afore-mentioned trailer and before I realised, it was too late. It cannot be unseen. -Even the director, Alan Taylor, was unhappy about the spoilers in the trailer. -Genisys was [spoiler alert] ….. indeed half of the inspiration for this convo. I saw that article about Alan Taylor’s thoughts the other day, but could only sympathise so much as the film was, in my opinion, a travesty. -Have you seen the film now Ryan? If so what did you think of the big ‘reveal’? For a film that had very little else going for it that really did completely spoil the experience for me. -I just can’t understand why that decision was taken. You don’t need to resort to something like that to generate interest – if said twist is that good then word of mouth will spread. -For anyone interested, the trailer for the new Bond film was released today. -UNStudio has joined forces with HPP Architects to create a consortium (UNS + HPP) to carry out the next phases of their winning project at the architectural design competition for FOUR Frankfurt. Take a look at the complete story after the jump. -From the architects: The centrally located 16,000 square meter site was purchased by Groß & Partner real estate development company – who will be carrying out the development of the project – back in 2015. Situated in the very core of the city, the site has been completely inaccessible for the last 45 years. Now four new high-rise towers will change Frankfurt’s skyline from the air, while cultivating its liveliness on the ground. The development of these towers, reaching heights of 228 meters, will open up new streets to create a multi-use, vibrant inner-city quarter, bringing together a healthy mix of work, living, relaxation and recreation. -The choice of programmes allows for a smooth transition from Frankfurt’s shopping district to the east of Roßmarkt, to the high-rise office towers clustered around Park Taunusanlage. With a development concept that is unique to Europe, the FOUR Frankfurt project brings together facilities that will establish a lively new neighbourhood for Frankfurt, its visitors, and its (future) residents. -The new high-rise complex will be integrated into the expanding city structure by incorporating the heritage-listed facades of the Junghofstraße into the design and by making a multi-storey base building the connecting element of the entire site. -According to the assessment by the competition jury, the unique quality of the quarter can be found in its public development and amenity value. The new development will therefore create connected spaces, accessible rooftops, pathways and passages. The existing block on the Junghofstraße will be opened up to strengthen the surrounding pathways and ensure a high level of accessibility. This will create a multi-use, diverse quarter comprising 50% office spaces, 30% living accommodation (including subsidized housing), in addition to retail spaces, restaurants and hotels. -Four Frankfurt is expected to be completed in 2023. -▲Students are shouting several slogans to guarantee the school's autonomy in front of Jogyesa Temple. -On April 15th, 2016, the General Student Council and Student Council of Postgraduate held the 4.15 Jogye rally. The rally was also held in the last year with the same objectives. Goals of the rally are to criticize Jogye Order for its responsibility on Dongguk University’s present conflicts related to President Han Tae-sik (Bogwang) and to guarantee the school’s autonomy from the order. -At 11:00 A.M., approximately 200 people, about 150 Donggukians and 50 people who are related to Dongguk University, gathered together in Manhae Hall. As soon as the march began, the marchers were obstructed by police officers because of a cow, which was prepared by the GSC, was not reported to participate in the rally. Scuffles broke out between the police and the GSC, and the cow was not able to go with the marchers. The parade was started from Chungmu-ro where Dongguk University is located, passed Myeong-dong and finally to Jogyesa Temple. -After several speeches from students, the GSC and the gathered students tried to deliver request proposal to Jogye Order together, but police officers blocked the way. Therefore, only ten representatives were allowed to go to deliver the request proposal to the persons concerned of the Jogye Order at the temple gate. The request proposal involves following three demands: Jogye Order has to stop intervening in the school matters and should guarantee the school’s autonomy, every sunim who spoiled the school needs to apologize and resign, and board of directors should be reformed in a more democratic way. -Quartz is one of the most common and varied minerals on earth, and its abundant colors produce many gemstone types. Amethyst and Citrine are the most popular and valuable gem varieties of Quartz, but other forms also make important gemstones. Chalcedony describes any form of Quartz that is microcrystalline, in compact form without any visible crystals. Chalcedony also has several varieties used as gemstones, most notably Agate, Carnelian, Tiger's Eye, and Chrysoprase. -Pure Quartz, which is also known as Rock Crystal, is colorless. Various impurities are responsible for the extensive range of colors. The main crystalline Quartz varieties used as gemstones are described below. -Amethyst, the purple variety, is the most popular and valuable Quartz gemstone. Amethyst ranges from light to dark purple. See the Amethyst gemstone page for more details. -Citrine is the yellow, orange, or reddish-brown variety of Quartz. It is usually colored by heat treatment of Amethyst or Smoky Quartz. Light yellow or lemon yellow Citrine is often called Lemon Quartz in the gem trade. See the Citrine gemstone page for more details. -Smoky Quartz is the brown "smoky" variety of Quartz. It ranges in color from light brown to black. Despite its dark color, it is rarely opaque. See the Smoky Quartz gemstone page for more details. -The rosy pink variety of Quartz is known as Rose Quartz, and its color is usually soft, ranging from very light pink to medium pink in intensity. Rose Quartz is often milky or hazy, and it may lack good transparency. See the Rose Quartz gemstone page for more details. -The colorless, transparent variety of Quartz, free of any impurities, is known as "Rock Crystal". Flawless and very large cuts may be cut from Rock Crystal. -Milky Quartz is the white, translucent to opaque variety of Quartz. Though very common in nature, it is not used as a gemstone. -Colorless Quartz with golden yellow Rutile inclusions, as hairlike growths within the gemstone, are known as Rutilated Quartz. See the Rutilated Quartz gemstone page for more details. -Ametrine is an interesting, color-zoned combination of purple Amethyst and brownish-yellow Citrine. See the Ametrine gemstone page for more details. -Prasiolite, or Green Quartz, describes a light green Quartz artificially colored by heat treatment of certain types of Amethyst. May also be called "Green Amethyst" by some jewelers. -The blue variety of Quartz, which is uncommon in nature, is seldom used as a gemstone. Most "Blue Quartz" is clear Rock Crystal irradiated with gold to from a deep sky blue color. Blue Quartz may also refer to a dull grayish-blue Quartz in massive form with Crocidolite inclusions. -Colorless Quartz with Tourmaline inclusions, often as thin long black crystals, is known as "Tourmalinated Quartz". -Cat's Eye Quartz is Quartz with dense, tiny Rutile inclusions that cause a cat's eye effect. It is not common, and the chatoyant effect is usually weak. Cat's Eye Quartz is usually grayish in color and translucent. -All forms of Quartz are used as gemstones, and they are all affordable. They are cut into various gemstone cuts and cabochons, and used in all forms of jewelry. Lesser quality stones are often tumbled for use in bracelets, necklaces, and as costume jewelery. Large spheres and carvings are also cut from all the Quartz forms. Due to its abundance and lack of luster, Rock Crystal is not commonly cut into gemstones, although some very large spheres and sculptures are carved from it.

(See the Amethyst gemstone page for more details.) Tumbled Amethyst with white Milky Quartz is sometimes known as Amethyst Quartz. -Aventurine - Opaque, compact Quartz / Chalcedony containing small Mica, Hematite, or Goethite scales which cause a glistening effect. Aventurine is most often green but may also be other colors such as gray, orange, and brown. -Blue Quartz - Rare natural blue variety of Quartz.

These white gemstones will also have a greater dispersion and exhibit more fire. -Additional images for the varieties Amethyst, Citrine, Smoky Quartz, Rose Quartz, Rutilated Quartz, and Chalcedony are listed separately. -Have a question about Quartz?

It successfully squeezed much of the PC and Xbox game down to a much smaller screen -- and in places looked even better than the Xbox One version of the game. -It comes a week after rival Fortnite began inviting players to test its own mobile version. Unlike PUBG, Fortnite will allow players to play across platforms -- meaning iPhone players can kill or be killed by gamers on PC or PlayStation 4. -Fortnite recently surpassed pioneer PUBG in popularity. Both games feature 100 players landing on a deserted island filled with weapons, with everyone fighting to be the last person left standing.

People working in a professional or corporate environment will tend to have digital skills they can impart through sessions like iReach, which is a fantastic project. -“We’ve really enjoyed working with Thames Reach and will continue to do so. We’ve had 23 volunteers helping out with iReach. They share their expertise and make contact with people in their communities they might otherwise never have met,” she said. -Thames Reach digital support worker Chris Hamm, who runs the iReach sessions, said: “When our service users first arrive, some are apprehensive about using the equipment. Some have almost no previous experience of using computers. -“After a while, though, you can see how self-confident our learners become. The transformation is lovely to watch and the knowhow that our volunteers share with them plays a big part in that,” he said. -Volunteers are needed to help with the Assembly for Children at the 99th International Assembly in July.

The 13-day trek begins from Kathmandu with the tour of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Next, we fly to Pokhara, the beautiful Lake City and begin trekking from there. We trek in the beautiful Annapurna region and gradually enter the Mustang region. -Our trail passes through quaint villages, cascading waterfalls, lush forests and surprisingly an almost-barren leeward side of the Himalayas. The diverse Nepalese landscape combined with the rich culture of its people makes this trek all the more rewarding. -On our Jomsom Muktinath Trek, we also walk on trails along the Kali Gandaki gorge which is the deepest gorge on earth and then visit Muktinath Temple which is an important place of pilgrimage for Hindus and Buddhists alike. Dipping our bodies into the hot spring at Tatopani will also be a pleasing experience. The trek ends with our flight to Pokhara from Jomsom followed by a drive to Kathmandu. -Day 13: Departure to your onward destination. -• An experienced, English-speaking and government-licensed trek leader and assistant trek leader (4 trekkers: 1 assistant guide). -• Domestic flight from Pokhara to Kathmandu. -• Porter service (2 trekkers: 1 porter). -• Staff costs including their salary, insurance, equipment, food and accommodation. -• All necessary paperwork and trekking permits (ACAP, TIMS). -• Medical kit (carried by your trek leader). -After the martyrdom of St. Boniface, Vergilius was made Bishop of Salzburg (766 or 767) and laboured successfully for the upbuilding of his diocese as well as for the spread of the Faith in neighbouring heathen countries, especially in Carinthia. He died at Salzburg, 27 November, 789. In 1233 he was canonized by Gregory IX. His doctrine that the earth is a sphere was derived from the teaching of ancient geographers, and his belief in the existence of the antipodes was probably influenced by the accounts which the ancient Irish voyagers gave of their journeys. This, at least, is the opinion of Rettberg ("Kirchengesch. Deutschlands", II, 236). -How to unblock ABC Go UK outside US? Watch ABC in the UK on Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Android, PC or Mac.

"Now there's an easy way to pay," says Larry Golfin, who represents ACSIA Partners LLC in CT. "Just use some of the money that's already in your Health Savings Account." -"It's a shame so few people know about this," says Golfin. "We're spreading the word through our business partners and to the public directly." -"In the years ahead, HSAs promise to be an increasingly important tool for the health and wellbeing of our longer-living population," says Golfin. -ACSIA Partners has agents in all parts of the country who are glad to answer questions. "Depending on your circumstances, long-term care insurance may or may not be the best solution for you," says Golfin. "And the possible role of an HSA depends on your circumstances too. For example, some people may choose to pay some of their care costs directly from their HSA, and the balance from an LTC policy paid for with HSA dollars." -For information, contact Golfin at larry.golfin@acsiapartners.com, http://www.larrygolfin.com or 860-677-4075. -So many things happening this weekend! -The highly anticipated PBS Kids in the Park festival is tomorrow, Saturday, June 21.

Vecindario is asking for €700,000 as part of a polemic collaboration deal that was cancelled on the past year. -The conflict between Deportivo and Vecindario is now threatening Deportivo. A debt of €100,000 with Vecindario has turned into a loss of €700,000. For this conflict Oltra wasn’t on the bench for the Copa clash. -One of the few positive news after the relegation to Segunda is the surprising reaction of Depor’s fans; a clear example is the number of socios, which is about to reach the mark of 20,000, the highest since the years of the Champions League. -Deportivo can’t inscribe players due to a legal demand of UD Vecindario, while Adrian is doing everything in order to join Atletico Madrid. Those are the two current problems that are focusing the attention of president Lendoiro. -Lendoiro travelled to Madrid in order to solve several pending issues and to participate in the draw of the liga calendar; before travelling he talked to reporters. -The season 2011/12 will bring some changes to the structure of base football at Deportivo; the most notorious modification is the appearance of the Benjamin squad, the ninth team at the youth system composed by 10-year-old kids. -Lendoiro is on war against the clubs that haven’t paid their obligations to Deportivo; there’s a well-known battle against Real Zaragoza, and since Friday the war was extended to Racing Santander; all for the transfer of Sergio Canales. -Depor’s president continues his battle against the bankruptcy law and Zaragoza, while he announced that the club will make six or seven signings ahead of next season. -It is possible to erase up to 4 HDD / SSD at the same time.

But for Butler, it has only enhanced his confidence. -As it stands, 22-year-old Butler is not regarded as the best wide receiver in this year’s NFL Draft. He’s projected by some experts to go as late as the third round. But when wide receivers were measured Thursday, Butler gained some attention: He led all receivers in height (6-foot-5 3/8), arm length (35 1/4 inches) and wingspan (83 7/8 inches). -On Thursday, running back David Montgomery, who played with Butler at Iowa State, captured the general vibe surrounding Butler here. -Butler says he’s met with every NFL team on an informal basis. He had “nine or 10” formal meetings set up for Friday night, but didn’t divulge which teams he’d be sitting down with. -There is clear interest in Butler, who declared for the draft after his junior season in which he had 60 receptions for 1,318 yards and nine touchdowns. -But in his mind, the hype machine hasn’t been turned up high enough — yet. -Butler, of course, is talking about Saturday’s wide receiver workouts. If he crushes the drills, he could vault up the draft board — perhaps into the first round. And he feels well-prepared because he’s spent the past few months working out with some legendary NFL receivers in Calvin Johnson and Anquan Boldin. -Butler met Boldin at the South Florida gym where he trains. He was connected to Johnson through his agent. -Johnson and Boldin are known for being precise, tactical receivers. But Butler says the most valuable lesson of working with them has been learning about how they think. -Butler admitted the first time he worked with Johnson, who went to six Pro Bowls with the Detroit Lions from 2010-15, that he was a little starstruck. -Butler is hoping that one day he can leave a legacy like Boldin or Johnson. But for now, his goal is to prove what he already believes is true: that he is the top receiver in this draft. -Building a successful software platform is done by building software with a purpose by solving a problem that people already have. The problem may not be obvious, and it may not even be a problem that people are aware of, but the problem exists. Using Instagram as a case study, I think there are four keys a platforms success. -Most people aren't professional photographers. They don't have access to the tools professional photographers use nor the time or money to buy the tools and learn them. But they do want professional looking photos. Instagram built a platform that had intrinsic value on it's own by providing people the ability to easily create professional looking photographs. -One of the keys that made Instagram successful was that they took something people were already doing and made it easier and better. They removed the need to download photos from a mobile device and then upload them from a desktop or laptop. They simplified the process and allowed users to share exiting photos right from their phones or take a new photo to share. -They also simplified an otherwise complex photo editing process by providing a set of templates that people could apply without having to understand image editing. This enabled a regular person to have professional looking photos without any work. -One thing that Instagram did very well is that it built it's software to work with exiting services like Facebook and Twitter. Services that already had a huge community of users. They didn't try to re-create Twitter or Facebook. Instead, they allowed Twitter and Facebook to get better by making their service interoperable. -Instagram didn't force people to ONLY use their service. Instead, it allowed people to continue to use their existing social media services and augment a specific workflow to be better if they wanted to. Users don't want to be asked to chose between this OR that. They want to be able to use this AND that. Will your software provide additional choices or limit choices? -In a small bowl, combine fennel, capers, lemon juice, parsley and olive oil and set aside. -Preheat oven to 400°F. Lay trout on a greased baking sheet. Stuff each fish with slices of red onion, lemon, whole sprigs of parsley and oregano. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. -Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until fish is firm and flakey. Serve with fennel salad. -Meaningful, reliable and valid mRNA expression analyses by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) can only be achieved, if suitable reference genes are chosen for normalization and if appropriate RT-qPCR quality standards are met. Human periodontal ligament (hPDL) fibroblasts play a major mediating role in orthodontic tooth movement and periodontitis. Despite corresponding in-vitro gene expression studies being a focus of interest for many years, no information is available for hPDL fibroblasts on suitable reference genes, which are generally used in RT-qPCR experiments to normalize variability between samples. The aim of this study was to identify and validate suitable reference genes for normalization in untreated hPDL fibroblasts as well as experiments on orthodontic tooth movement or periodontitis (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans). We investigated the suitability of 13 candidate reference genes using four different algorithms (geNorm, NormFinder, comparative Delta C-q and BestKeeper) and ranked them according to their expression stability. Overall PPIB (peptidylprolyl isomerase A), TBP (TATA-box-binding protein) and RPL22 (ribosomal protein 22) were found to be most stably expressed with two genes in conjunction sufficient for reliable normalization. This study provides an accurate tool for quantitative gene expression analysis in hPDL fibroblasts according to the MIQE guidelines and shows that reference gene reliability is treatment-specific. -Know Buckeye Trail Class of 2001 graduates that are NOT on this List?

Jake Guenther and Alex Isola singled to open the inning. A wild pitch had both runners in scoring position and Johnny Rizer delivered a two-run single up the middle to make it a 6-2 ballgame. The Frogs didn’t go quietly, scoring a run on a Zach Humphreys groundout in the eighth. With two outs in the ninth, the Frogs put the tying run on base with walks to Josh Watson and Isola around a Guenther base hit. UTA closer Andrew Gross wiggled off the hook with a ground out to end the game. Jared Janczak (0-2) tossed 4 1/3 innings. He allowed six runs (two earned) on six hits, walked one and struck out two. Haylen Green and Matt Rudis allowed one combined runner over the last 3 2/3 innings of the game.

The four-star says he got along with the defensive back as well as the rest of the team. -Equestrian has put together a solid season. -TCU News: Joe Broadnax’s career is over, will Justin Rogers play this year? -Grace. What is it? What does it mean? How do you get it and how do you KNOW you got it? -Honestly, I don’t know the answers to these questions. I have no way of describing something I don’t understand BUT believe deeply in my soul that it exists. How do you get these graces? Sanctifying grace is IN your soul. It’s the free and underserved gift from God. Actual grace would come from our knowledge and belief of all things right and wrong – following the Ten Commandments, making sure we follow a path that is pure and justified. Justified means to be sinless, and to be sinless means you are in favor with God. When you are baptized you are sinless and therefore have favor with God. When you go to reconciliation, you are once again sinless and in favor with God. You are in a state of grace. Once sanctifying grace is in your soul, you can increase it by every good action you do – receiving Communion, saying prayers, performing corporal works of Mercy. The most important thing to think about is NOT what you are going to do or how you are going to do it but to recognize God’s love. The reason you can do any good work is because God LOVES YOU FIRST in Grace. You must continually seek God’s grace, continually respond to the actual graces God is working within you, inclining you to turn to Him and do good. -Have I answered the question as to what Grace is? I’ve read through all the study guides provided to me and compiled all the information, but I don’t believe that I’ve properly explained what Grace is. -To me Grace is a feeling. Sometimes it’s butterflies in the stomach, and it takes my breath away. I feel this way every time I think of my husband. We met and married 38 years ago. I see God’s grace in our meeting, getting married, and living our life together as husband and wife. Sometimes it’s a jolt, like an electric shock and then an overwhelming wave of love, like the enormous amount of love I felt when I held my first baby in my arms for the first time. This happened again with my 2nd and 3rd child, and then God blessed us with twins to make 4 and 5. Then sometimes it feels like a raging fight going on inside me, making hard decisions that breaks my heart in two. I have no power to stop things from happening and my only recourse is just to constantly pray. Mostly it’s a feeling of ultimate peace and an over-whelming calmness that comes over me at different times during the day when God allows me glimpses of HIS love for me: when my dog and cat are doing something cute together; when I see the birds eating the seed I put out for them; when a certain little girl comes over to the house and calls me “Grandma”. I just breathe a sigh of thanksgiving and relax in the comfort of His hand. -Where does Grace come from? -Everyone seems to want a brighter smile, and teeth whitening is a great option for boosting your confidence. If food and drinks have stained your pearly whites, you may be tempted to rush to the drug store and pick up the first over-the-counter whitening product you find. However, while side effects from whitening products are rare, you should follow these tips before bleaching your teeth to ensure your safety. -If your teeth appear stained, don’t assume you need to bleach them. It’s possible a good teeth cleaning will restore the sparkle to your smile. During an oral exam, your dentist will also check for cavities and gum issues, which should be treated before bleaching your teeth. -At-home whiteners most often use carbamide peroxide in concentrations ranging from 10 to 20 percent. Carbamide peroxide is hydrogen peroxide with urea added. This product remains active for up to 10 hours at a low enough acidity level that enamel etching is not a concern. -Start with a product containing 10 percent carbamide peroxide. If the whitener doesn’t bother your mouth, but you don’t see the results you want, try another over-the-counter product with a higher concentration. -When you choose an at-home teeth bleaching kit, it’s your responsibility to follow the instructions on the package. Don’t leave the gel or strips on your teeth longer than advised or you could experience tooth sensitivity and sore gums. Also, avoid drinking soda, sports drinks or other sugary/acidic beverages for several hours after whitening to prevent etching your teeth. -At-home whitening kits are inexpensive and widely available, but that doesn’t make them the best choice. Professional in-office teeth bleaching can lighten your smile up to eight shades in a single 45-minute visit. Combined with professional-grade take-home treatments, patients see an average improvement of 11 shades. In comparison, over-the-counter whitening requires daily 30-minute applications for more than two weeks to achieve a six-shade improvement. -In-office whitening uses LED light-activated technology to maximize results in the shortest amount of time without causing tooth sensitivity. It’s effective both for people who simply want to lighten their smile and for patients with severely discolored teeth. -Pregnant women and nursing mothers should postpone teeth bleaching. -Translucent teeth don’t respond well to whitening. A tooth-colored composite placed on the lingual side of a see-through tooth is a more effective way to improve its appearance. -Zen Dental Center in Seattle offers Philips Zoom in-office teeth bleaching for safe, professional results.

If you are currently living overseas, you will need to appoint a tax representative or accountant to pay this on your behalf. You will need to appoint a tax representative in Japan to file a final tax return to have the remainder returned to you (less any taxes that may have been owed). -*If the payment of deposits and mid-term payments also meet the conditions for withholding tax, the tax must be withheld and paid by the buyer at each payment. -The above information has been provided as a general guide only.

The Coroner: It happened within my district. -The jury having made no further objection, they were duly sworn, and were conducted by Inspector Abberline to view the body, which, decently coffined, was at the mortuary adjoining Shoreditch Church, and subsequently the jury inspected the room, in Miller's-court, Dorset- street, where the murder was committed. The apartment, a plan of which was given in yesterday's Daily Telegraph, is poorly furnished, and uncarpeted. The position of the two tables was not altered. One of them was placed near the bed, behind the door, and the other next to the largest of the two windows which look upon the yard in which the dustbin and water-tap are situated. -Joseph Barnett deposed : I was a fish-porter, and I work as a labourer and fruit- porter. Until Saturday last I lived at 24, New-street, Bishopsgate, and have since stayed at my sister's, 21, Portpool-lane, Gray's Inn-road. I have lived with the deceased one year and eight months. Her name was Marie Jeanette Kelly with the French spelling as described to me. Kelly was her maiden name. I have seen the body, and I identify it by the ear and eyes, which are all that I can recognise; but I am positive it is the same woman I knew. I lived with her in No. 13 room, at Miller's-court for eight months. I separated from her on Oct. 30. -[Coroner] Why did you leave her ? - Because she had a woman of bad character there, whom she took in out of compassion, and I objected to it. That was the only reason. I left her on the Tuesday between five and six p.m. I last saw her alive between half-past seven and a quarter to eight on Thursday night last, when I called upon her. I stayed there for a quarter of an hour. -[Coroner] Were you on good terms ? - Yes, on friendly terms; but when we parted I told her I had no work, and had nothing to give her, for which I was very sorry. -[Coroner] Did you drink together ? - No, sir. She was quite sober. -[Coroner] Was she, generally speaking, of sober habits ? - When she was with me I found her of sober habits, but she has been drunk several times in my presence. -[Coroner] Was there any one else there on the Thursday evening ? - Yes, a woman who lives in the court. She left first, and I followed shortly afterwards. -[Coroner] Have you had conversation with deceased about her parents ? - Yes, frequently. She said she was born in Limerick, and went when very young to Wales. She did not say how long she lived there, but that she came to London about four years ago. Her father's name was John Kelly, a "gaffer" or foreman in an iron works in Carnarvonshire, or Carmarthen. She said she had one sister, who was respectable, who travelled from market place to market place. This sister was very fond of her. There were six brothers living in London, and one was in the army. One of them was named Henry. I never saw the brothers to my knowledge. She said she was married when very young in Wales to a collier. I think the name was Davis or Davies. She said she had lived with him until he was killed in an explosion, but I cannot say how many years since that was. Her age was, I believe, 16 when she married. After her husband's death deceased went to Cardiff to a cousin. -[Coroner] Did she live there long ? - Yes, she was in an infirmary there for eight or nine months. She was following a bad life with her cousin, who, as I reckon, and as I often told her, was the cause of her downfall. -[Coroner] After she left Cardiff did she come direct to London ? - Yes. She was in a gay house in the West-end, but in what part she did not say. A gentleman came there to her and asked her if she would like to go to France. -[Coroner] Did she go to France ? - Yes; but she did not remain long. She said she did not like the part, but whether it was the part or purpose I cannot say. She was not there more than a fortnight, and she returned to England, and went to Ratcliffe-highway. She must have lived there for some time. Afterwards she lived with a man opposite the Commercial Gas Works, Stepney. The man's name was Morganstone. -[Coroner] Have you seen that man ? - Never. I don't know how long she lived with him. -[Coroner] Was Morganstone the last man she lived with ? - I cannot answer that question, but she described a man named Joseph Fleming, who came to Pennington-street, a bad house, where she stayed. I don't know when this was. She was very fond of him. He was a mason's plasterer, and lodged in the Bethnal-green-road. -[Coroner] Was that all you knew of her history when you lived with her? - Yes. After she lived with Morganstone or Fleming - I don't know which one was the last - she lived with me. -[Coroner] Where did you pick up with her first ? - In Commercial-street. We then had a drink together, and I made arrangements to see her on the following day - a Saturday. On that day we both of us agreed that we should remain together. I took lodgings in George-street, Commercial-street, where I was known. I lived with her, until I left her, on very friendly terms. -[Coroner] Did she express fear of any particular individual ? - No, sir. Our own quarrels were very soon over. -Thomas Bowyer stated: I live at 37, Dorset-street, and am employed by Mr. McCarthy. I serve in his chandler's shop, 27, Dorset-street. At a quarter to eleven a.m., on Friday morning, I was ordered by McCarthy to go to Mary Jane's room, No. 13. I did not know the deceased by the name of Kelly. I went for rent, which was in arrears. Knocking at the door, I got no answer, and I knocked again and again. Receiving no reply, I passed round the corner by the gutter spout where there is a broken window - it is the smallest window. -Charles Ledger, an inspector of police, G Division, produced a plan of the premises. Bowyer pointed out the window, which was the one nearest the entrance. -He [Bowyer] continued: There was a curtain. I put my hand through the broken pane and lifted the curtain. I saw two pieces of flesh lying on the table. -[Coroner] Where was this table ? - In front of the bed, close to it. The second time I looked I saw a body on this bed, and blood on the floor. I at once went very quietly to Mr. McCarthy. We then stood in the shop, and I told him what I had seen. We both went to the police-station, but first of all we went to the window, and McCarthy looked in to satisfy himself. We told the inspector at the police-station of what we had seen. Nobody else knew of the matter. The inspector returned with us. -[Coroner] Did you see the deceased constantly ? - I have often seen her. I knew the last witness, Barnett. I have seen the deceased drunk once. -John McCarthy, grocer and lodging-house keeper, testified: I live at 27, Dorset- street. On Friday morning, about a quarter to eleven, I sent my man Bowyer to Room 13 to call for rent. He came back in five minutes, saying, "Guv'nor, I knocked at the door, and could not make any one answer; I looked through the window and saw a lot of blood." I accompanied him, and looked through the window myself, saw the blood and the woman. For a moment I could not say anything, and I then said: "You had better fetch the police." I knew the deceased as Mary Jane Kelly, and had no doubt at all about her identity. I followed Bowyer to Commercial-street Police-station, where I saw Inspector Beck. I inquired at first for Inspector Reid. Inspector Beck returned with me at once. -[Coroner] How long had the deceased lived in the room ? - Ten months. She lived with Barnett. I did not know whether they were married or not; they lived comfortably together, but they had a row when the window was broken. The bedstead, bed-clothes, table, and every article of furniture belonged to me. -[Coroner] What rent was paid for this room ? - It was supposed to be 4s 6d a week. Deceased was in arrears 29s. I was to be paid the rent weekly. Arrears are got as best you can. I frequently saw the deceased the worse for drink. When sober she was an exceptionally quiet woman, but when in drink she had more to say. She was able to walk about, and was not helpless. -[Coroner] Where was this ? - In Dorset-street. She went up the court, a few steps in front of me. -[Coroner] Was anybody with her ? - A short, stout man, shabbily dressed. He had on a longish coat, very shabby, and carried a pot of ale in his hand. -[Coroner] What was the colour of the coat ? - A dark coat. -[Coroner] What hat had he ? - A round hard billycock. -[Coroner] Long or short hair ? - I did not notice. He had a blotchy face, and full carrotty moustache. -[Coroner] The chin was shaven ? - Yes. A lamp faced the door. -[Coroner] Did you see them go into her room ? - Yes; I said "Good night, Mary," and she turned round and banged the door. -[Coroner] Had he anything in his hands but the can ? - No. -[Coroner] Did she say anything ? - She said "Good night, I am going to have a song." As I went in she sang "A violet I plucked from my mother's grave when a boy." I remained a quarter of an hour in my room and went out. Deceased was still singing at one o'clock when I returned. I remained in the room for a minute to warm my hands as it was raining, and went out again. She was singing still, and I returned to my room at three o'clock. The light was then out and there was no noise. -[Coroner] Did you go to sleep ? - No; I was upset. I did not undress at all. I did not sleep at all. I must have heard what went on in the court. I heard no noise or cry of "Murder," but men went out to work in the market. -[Coroner] How many men live in the court who work in Spitalfields Market ? - One. At a quarter- past six I heard a man go down the court. That was too late for the market. -[Coroner] From what house did he go ? - I don't know. -[Coroner] Did you hear the door bang after him ? - No. -[Coroner] Then he must have walked up the court and back again? - Yes. -[Coroner] It might have been a policeman ? - It might have been. -[Coroner] What would you take the stout man's age to be ? - Six-and-thirty. -[Coroner] Did you notice the colour of his trousers ? - All his clothes were dark. -[Coroner] Did his boots sound as if the heels were heavy ? - There was no sound as he went up the court. -[Coroner] Then you think that his boots were down at heels ? - He made no noise. -[Coroner] What clothes had Mary Jane on ? - She had no hat; a red pelerine and a shabby skirt. -[Coroner] You say she was drunk ? - I did not notice she was drunk until she said good night. The man closed the door. By the Jury: There was a light in the window, but I saw nothing, as the blinds were down. I should know the man again, if I saw him. -[Coroner] Do you often hear cries of "Murder?" - It is nothing unusual in the street. I did not take particular notice. -[Coroner] Did you hear it a second time? - No. -[Coroner] Did you hear beds or tables being pulled about? - None whatever. I went asleep, and was awake again at five a.m. I passed down the stairs, and saw some men harnessing horses. At a quarter to six I was in the Ten Bells. -[Coroner] Could the witness, Mary Ann Cox, have come down the entry between one and half-past one o'clock without your knowledge ? - Yes, she could have done so. -[Coroner] Did you see any strangers at the Ten Bells ? - No. I went back to bed and slept until eleven. -[Coroner] You heard no singing downstairs ? - None whatever. I should have heard the singing distinctly. It was quite quiet at half-past one o'clock. -Caroline Maxewell, 14, Dorset-street, said: My husband is a lodging-house deputy. I knew the deceased for about four months. I believe she was an unfortunate. On two occasions I spoke to her. -[Coroner] Did you speak to her ? - Yes; it was an unusual thing to see her up. She was a young woman who never associated with any one. I spoke across the street, "What, Mary, brings you up so early ?" She said, "Oh, Carrie, I do feel so bad." -[Coroner] And yet you say you had only spoken to her twice previously; you knew her name and she knew yours ? - Oh, yes; by being about in the lodging-house. -[Coroner] What did she say ? - She said, "I've had a glass of beer, and I've brought it up again"; and it was in the road. I imagined she had been in the Britannia beer-shop at the corner of the street. I left her, saying that I could pity her feelings. I went to Bishopsgate-street to get my husband's breakfast. Returning I saw her outside the Britannia public-house, talking to a man. -[Coroner] This would be about what time ? - Between eight and nine o'clock. I was absent about half-an-hour. It was about a quarter to nine. -[Coroner] What description can you give of this man ? - I could not give you any, as they were at some distance. -[Coroner] What sort of dress had the deceased ? - A dark skirt, a velvet body, a maroon shawl, and no hat. -[Coroner] Have you ever seen her the worse for drink ? - I have seen her in drink, but she was not a notorious character. -Sarah Lewis deposed: I live at 24, Great Pearl-street, and am a laundress. I know Mrs. Keyler, in Miller's-court, and went to her house at 2, Miller's-court, at 2.30a.m. on Friday. It is the first house. I noticed the time by the Spitalfields' Church clock. When I went into the court, opposite the lodging-house I saw a man with a wideawake. There was no one talking to him. He was a stout-looking man, and not very tall. The hat was black. I did not take any notice of his clothes. The man was looking up the court; he seemed to be waiting or looking for some one. Further on there was a man and woman - the later being in drink. There was nobody in the court. I dozed in a chair at Mrs. Keyler's, and woke at about half- past three. I heard the clock strike. -[Coroner] What woke you up ? - I could not sleep. I sat awake until nearly four, when I heard a female's voice shouting "Murder" loudly. It seemed like the voice of a young woman. It sounded at our door. There was only one scream. -[Coroner] Were you afraid ? Did you wake anybody up ? - No, I took no notice, as I only heard the one scream. -[Coroner] You stayed at Keyler's house until what time ? - Half-past five p.m. on Friday. The police would not let us out of the court. -[Coroner] Have you seen any suspicious persons in the district ? - On Wednesday night I was going along the Bethnal-green-road, with a woman, about eight o'clock, when a gentleman passed us. He followed us and spoke to us, and wanted us to follow him into an entry. He had a shiny leather bag with him. -[Coroner] Did he want both of you ? - No; only one. I refused. He went away and came back again, saying he would treat us. He put down his bag and picked it up again, saying, "What are you frightened about ? Do you think I've got anything in the bag ?" We then ran away, as we were frightened. -[Coroner] Was he a tall man ? - He was short, pale-faced, with a black moustache, rather small. His age was about forty. -[Coroner] Was it a large bag ? - No, about 6in to 9in long. His hat was a high round hat. He had a brownish overcoat, with a black short coat underneath. His trousers were a dark pepper-and- salt. -[Coroner] After he left you what did you do ? - We ran away. -[Coroner] Have you seen him since ? - On Friday morning, about half-past two a.m., when I was going to Miller's-court, I met the same man with a woman in Commercial-street, near Mr. Ringer's public-house (the Britannia). He had no overcoat on. -[Coroner] Had he the black bag ? - Yes. -[Coroner] Were the man and woman quarrelling ? - No; they were talking. As I passed he looked at me. I don't know whether he recognised me. There was no policeman about. -Mr. George Bagster Phillips, divisional surgeon of police, said: I was called by the police on Friday morning at eleven o'clock, and on proceeding to Miller's-court, which I entered at 11.15, I found a room, the door of which led out of the passage at the side of 26, Dorset-street, photographs of which I produce. It had two windows in the court. Two panes in the lesser window were broken, and as the door was locked I looked through the lower of the broken panes and satisfied myself that the mutilated corpse lying on the bed was not in need of any immediate attention from me, and I also came to the conclusion that there was nobody else upon the bed, or within view, to whom I could render any professional assistance. Having ascertained that probably it was advisable that no entrance should be made into the room at that time, I remained until about 1.30p.m., when the door was broken open by McCarthy, under the direction of Superintendent Arnold. On the door being opened it knocked against a table which was close to the left-hand side of the bedstead, and the bedstead was close against the wooden partition. The mutilated remains of a woman were lying two- thirds over, towards the edge of the bedstead, nearest the door. Deceased had only an under- linen garment upon her, and by subsequent examination I am sure the body had been removed, after the injury which caused death, from that side of the bedstead which was nearest to the wooden partition previously mentioned. The large quantity of blood under the bedstead, the saturated condition of the palliasse, pillow, and sheet at the top corner of the bedstead nearest to the partition leads me to the conclusion that the severance of the right carotid artery, which was the immediate cause of death, was inflicted while the deceased was lying at the right side of the bedstead and her head and neck in the top right-hand corner. -the coroner said: It has come to my ears that somebody has been making a statement to some of the jury as to their right and duty of being here. Has any one during the interval spoken to the jury, saying that they should not be here to-day ? -Julia Vanturney [Van Turney], 1, Miller's-court, a charwoman, living with Harry Owen, said: I knew the deceased for some time as Kelly, and I knew Joe Barnett, who lived with her. He would not allow her to go on the streets. Deceased often got drunk. She said she was fond of another man, also named Joe. I never saw this man. I believe he was a costermonger. -[Coroner] When did you last see the deceased alive ? - On Thursday morning, at about ten o'clock. I slept in the court on Thursday night, and went to bed about eight. I could not rest at all during the night. -[Coroner] Did you hear any noises in the court ? - I did not. I heard no screams of "Murder," nor any one singing. -[Coroner] Were you in the house when Joe Barnett called ? - Yes. I said, "Well, Mary Jane, I shall not see you this evening again," and I left with her two men's dirty shirts, a little boy's shirt, a black overcoat, a black crepe bonnet with black satin strings, a pawn-ticket for a grey shawl, upon which 2s had been lent, and a little girls white petticoat. -[Coroner] Have you seen any of these articles since? - Yes; I saw the black overcoat in a room in the court on Friday afternoon. -[Coroner] Did the deceased ever speak to you about being afraid of any man ? - She did not. -Inspector Beck, H Division, deposed that, having sent for the doctor, he gave orders to prevent any persons leaving the court, and he directed officers to make a search. He had not been aware that the deceased was known to the police. -[Coroner] Was it by your orders that the door was forced ? - No; I had an intimation from Inspector Beck that the bloodhounds had been sent for, and the reply had been received that they were on the way. Dr. Phillips was unwilling to force the door, as it would be very much better to test the dogs, if they were coming. We remained until about 1.30 p.m., when Superintendent Arnold arrived, and he informed me that the order in regard to the dogs had been countermanded, and he gave orders for the door to be forced. I agree with the medical evidence as to the condition of the room. I subsequently took an inventory of the contents of the room. There were traces of a large fire having been kept up in the grate, so much so that it had melted the spout of a kettle off. We have since gone through the ashes in the fireplace; there were remnants of clothing, a portion of a brim of a hat, and a skirt, and it appeared as if a large quantity of women's clothing had been burnt. -[Coroner] Can you give any reason why they were burnt ? - I can only imagine that it was to make a light for the man to see what he was doing. There was only one small candle in the room, on the top of a broken wine-glass. An impression has gone abroad that the murderer took away the key of the room. Barnett informs me that it has been missing some time, and since it has been lost they have put their hand through the broken window, and moved back the catch. It is quite easy. There was a man's clay pipe in the room, and Barnett informed me that he smoked it. -[Coroner] Is there anything further the jury ought to know ? - No; if there should be I can communicate with you, sir. -I did a bit of work on andinfinity.de in regards to style and function. Also rss now works! -There’s now an rss feed. I also did a lot of work on the stylesheet. I hope the readability has increased and most of the bugs are gone. There’s a bit more in the pipeline, but first I’d like to work on my habit on writing posts more regular. The work- in-progress folder is bursting, but nothing’s really finished. -Weekend fun isn’t just for humans. Dogs love to get out and enjoy some time away from the day-to-day grind. But where can you take your dogs on weekends? -#3: Farmers Markets – Orlando boasts many dog friendly farmers markets every weekend. From Windermere’s Friday Farmers Market to the big Saturday markets in Winter Garden and Winter Park – you are hard pressed to find a locale without a marketplace of fresh produce. Dogs at these events have become so prominent that many vendors now cater exclusively to dogs selling homemade biscuits and treats just for your pooch. -#2: The beach – Contrary to popular belief there ARE several dog friendly beaches within a short drive of Orlando. The closest is the Smyrna Dunes Park. Dogs can romp and play in the sun alongside your family. -Be sure to take poop bags and keep the beach as nice as you found it! -#1: The dog park – What better place to spend some time outdoors and close to home than in the dog park. Central Florida can boast one of the nations best dog friendly parks in Winter Park. Fleet Peeples Park alongside the shores of Lake Baldwin has to be the nicest, most popular and respected dog parks around. It’s huge trees supply lots of shade and dogs love to run in the surf of the lakes sandy shores. There’s even a bathing area for our dog once they’ve had enough fun in the sun. -Well, there you have it. The things pet sitters in Orlando like to do with their dogs. Did we miss any? Tell us in the comments. -Constant development in Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) technologies results in evolving aircraft, instrumentation, and control programs of these systems. An open source simulator was examined as a potential method of testing UAS platforms changes. The open source simulator was used to simulate flights flown by an actual platform. Existing flight data was used as a base line of comparison for the telemetry data of the simulated flight. Patterns in parameters such as vehicle attitude and throttle output were compared between the simulated and actual results to determine if the simulator produced an accurate representation of a physical flight. Analysis of the simulated vehicle exhibited similar behavior to that of the actual vehicle in most of the flight data collected. Simplification in the flight simulator model may be responsible for the deviations in magnitude observed between the two sets of data. Three points of interest in each of the three test cases were chosen as checks for the values in the data. These points in the flight were studied in the various graphs of the parameters graphed and the difference between the simulated and actual values was calculated. The values at these points stayed within an average of 0° and 30° for vehicle attitude and between 0% and 33.3% throttle difference over the three test cases. The average difference in attitude was 5.1° over 93 compared values and 8.1% in throttle over 18 compared values. On average the simulator showed good agreement to existing flight data and therefore will be a good tool to simulate flights prior to a mission. The accuracy of the results may be improved with further development of the simulation model. -Ramirez Duarte, Jaime A.

The exhibition showed us the way to do business right and to do it effectively and efficiently. The exhibition also made room for us to meet various investors, who have tremendously been of help to the growth of Hyst Global Business Ltd. -I exhibited at the African Food and Products Exhibition 2018. The Event was a wonderful one and an eye-opener for not just me but for other exhibitors and attendees. From the conference sessions, I acquired knowledge on exportation of goods. The AFPE 2018 was the door opener to my exquisite Zobo Business. I thought to myself that since the Exhibition was for African Food and Products, Zobo is an African drink so I decided to make and sell for the Exhibition. Just like magic, amidst my other products, the zobo made super sales. Now I have a branded Zobo drink. -The AFPE 2018 was great, it was an opportunity to have a firsthand understanding of the challenges facing SMEs, helping us know what products they needed and how they can take advantage of our service offerings. The AFPE 2019 gave us a chance to partner with many of them. -It was an amazing experience, my business was a month old and I didn’t know anyone. It was the first time I got to be in public and I appreciate the opportunity to be exposed. Coming to the exhibition boosted my sales and created awareness for me when people didn’t know me. I have got contacts from the exhibition and they have formed part of my customer base. -Lagos is a commercial hub and it was important for us to share with the market.

Luckily my mother often made her own from scratch, but I also had the commercial boxed mac and cheese as well. Personally I’ve always prefered stove top to baked. I know, it is controversial. There is something to that velvety sauce and soft texture. It is simple and concise. -However, as I grew up, the idea of making it from scratch seemed more and more improbable. So I leaned toward the box. Now I am not saying that something is bad if it is in a box but powdered things often don’t feel super healthy in the food realm. Especially if all you are adding to them is butter and hot sauce and maybe tuna from a can. Wait. What? -Yes. I would like to take a moment to address something that we call “Shame Food.” What is Shame Food? Shame Food is food that you only feel comfortable eating in private. Far from any witnesses. My big Shame Food experience was when I was doing social work. I would work all day in a pretty intense environment and then commute home and my wife worked another 5-6 hours. So I would get home, eat something, and then take a nap. That thing became my Shame Food. It was inspired by a natural food company’s spicy mac and cheese. (It has since been discontinued.) I would make mac and cheese and add a lot of cheap hot sauce (this was before we had a sauce business) and a can of tuna. I would not even plate it. I would eat the whole thing out of the pot and then take a nap. I mean the nap wasn’t a choice. That box of noodles is meant to feed a family of four. Plus the amount of hot sauce I added meant I wasn’t really enjoying the meal as much as surviving it. I had to recoup. -This recipe isn’t that dish. It is tied to that spicy boxed macaroni and cheese, that my wife introduced me to, and we would eat it together at a time that we didn’t eat much. Also the roots are a stove top mac and cheese. The kind where the only powder involved it mustard powder and the spice comes from a complex sauce with a bright balsamic flavor and a nutty essence that pairs well with the gruyere and trust me if you finish it with toasted sesame, you will not regret it. Please enjoy and feel free to share with us your Shame Food. -Pour the pasta into a strainer and place the empty pot back on the stove. -Turn heat to medium and add the butter. -Once the butter has melted, stir in the flour and use a whisk continue for a minute. -Slowly add the milk and cream while whisking to combine. -Add the mustard powder and stir. -Reduce heat to medium-low and add the mascarpone. Continue to whisk. -Begin adding the cheese a handful at a time while whisking to combine. -Add the Hatch Sesame Balsamic Sauce. -Return the pasta to the sauce pan and stir to coat. -If the sauce seems a little loose then continue to stir the pasta occasionally on low heat. -Serve in bowls topped with toasted sesame seeds and Mexican oregano. -Walked around Lake Merritt.

It was a breath of fresh air, for both the continuation of the improvement of Troy, but also for the craft beer scene in the Upstate New York. -The taproom itself looks bigger than it really is, given that the brewery is directly behind the bar. The bar area holds about 40 people, with a small room off to the side available for private groups or holding tastings. Stools and standing room are available at the bar, while there are some tables and benches off to each side. -The brew house is a Beast 5 BBL system from Psycho Brew that allows for brewing either a double batch or two beers at the same time, which will be nice to do some smaller experimental batches. -The taps are split between the two sides of the bar, each side with its own glass rinser, which is good to see (nothing worse than putting good beer in a dirty glass). There will be a couple of nitro offerings, as well. -While looking around I was a little confused exactly where their cooler was, not realizing there was a downstairs not readily visible from the bar. Kevin took me for a quick tour of the cooler they made themselves. It looks like they have plenty of Rare Form branded cooperage hiding out down there. -Back at the bar, glass sizes vary depending on the beer and ABV, and as Todd pointed out last night it would be nice to see glass sizes listed on the chalkboard as well. There are still some folks who don’t “get” that not all beers are meant to be served in a 16 ounce glass, and it can be a shock when someone is served a beer in a glass half the size than what they were expecting. -As for the beers themselves, I’ll be honest, whenever I walk into a new brewery opening up in the Capital Region, I have my reservations and things were no different yesterday at Rare Form. I’ve been burned more often than I would like to admit by local brewers who started as homebrewers, were encouraged by friends and family to start brewery, and never really upped their game. Kevin has been brewing in various stages for “more than half [his] life” at this point, and I gotta say I walked away extremely impressed. -Sabbatical Session Ale – a session rye ale coming in under 4% ABV with enough rye to keep things interesting without being over the top by the end of the glass. -L’homme Chat Belgian Black Ale – an odd beer, as “session Belgian black ale” doesn’t necessarily roll off the tongue but this definitely worked surprisingly well. I thought about adding this in Untappd but I couldn’t figure out what style to consider this. I’ll let someone else figure it out. Also below 4%. -Wee Plaid Scottish Ale – tons of malty caramel notes without being cloying. -Cascadia Double IPA – a DIPA with a “malty backbone” and some piney, some citrusy hops. -Karass Robust Porter – a classic porter I was unfair to compare side by side with Hill Farmstead’s Everett. Still, Karass held it’s own and had a simple, but great roasty flavor. -Satan’s Gut Oak-Aged Imperial Stout – a big beer, with some coffee notes and oak present from the oak chips but not much from the bourbon the chips were soaked in. -First off, all of the beers were extremely drinkable. I like the focus on the session beers which are already very popular this year and… I feel bad that I need to even say this but… none of them had any glaring flaws or tasted like the dreaded “homebrew on a bigger system” as mentioned above. I’m sure Kevin is going to do some tweaks as he gets used to brewing consequetive batches on this much bigger system and the beers are only going to improve. -The one change I would love to see would be with the Cascadia Double IPA. Just from a demographic perspective, in 2014, in this location, we live where New England’s Gandhi Bot and Coriolis will kick in a matter of hours. We have no problem driving to MA to Tree House or VT to Alchemist/Hill/Lawson’s for IPAs. And Rushing Duck’s War Elephant is one of our most popular local beers. I think it’s pretty clear that malty and piney are not characteristics Capital Region folks are craving for in their IPA, and most of the time any malt presence in an IPA is usually considered “old” to beer geeks these days. I’d love to see Rare Form offer another IPA where the malt steps aside and lets some super juicy, tropical, citrusy notes shine, as that’s more in line with what’s popular in the Northeast today. -Beyond the beer, some Rare Form swag is also available including shirts, sweatshirts and aluminum growlers for beer to go, although I did not see pricing for growler fills. No #properglassware yet but I’m sure that’ll happen down the road. -As Rare Form is the beginning of the transformation of the corner of Congress St and 4th, I got the chance to check out the progress with the rest of the space, including The Shop, a beer bar that’s adjacent to the brewery. The opening is still a couple of months out, but some of the detail in the work happening there currently looks insanely good. A delicatessen at the corner of the building is also in the works and overall the building is shaping up nicely. -As some of you know, I’m a little (OK, a lot) harsh on breweries in Upstate NY. Living here, but having such great beer being made in all around us in New England has definitely made me a little jaded at this point. The big breweries in New York seem to be on cruise control, taking little to no risk with new beers. The smaller breweries, while opening up in rapid numbers haven’t done much to shake things up either, and most wouldn’t meet the standards set for the beers poured at The Bier Abbey (the only one I can think of off the top of my head that does would be Rushing Duck). -That said I have high hopes for Rare Form. They have a great brand, a website that looks like those of an established brewery, a small, but well put together tasting room, and brewing equipment that doesn’t look like it is meant for homebrew or cobbled together from used parts from other breweries. Not to mention they are making some beer that’s worthy of my recommendation to friends and fellow beer geeks for a brewery visit, and I would gladly serve to a patron at The Abbey if and when they’re producing enough liquid for distribution. I see a lot of potential for Rare Form, and I wish Kevin and Jenny the best of luck. -Rare Form’s Grand Opening is tomorrow, Friday May 30th at 4:30PM. Make sure to head down there to check them out! -You lift me up, then you let me down. I’m talking about that Cascadia IPA of course. (I think it’s a bit aspirational to call an 8.8% ABV beer a “double”. Imperial, maybe.) War Elephant, now that’s an IPA to my liking. Hope the folks at Rare Form are paying attention to your comments. -Even if they keep Cascadia the way it is there are still room for other IPAs in their lineup as well. Not that Cascadia is bad, just not the style I was hoping for. -I had the Wee Plaid, Sabbatical and Satan’s Gut when the owners came down for a cheese tasting at The Cheese Traveler. Most breweries in the Upstate area put out mediocre beer. Rare Form is not most breweries. I must say the Sabbatical is an excellent session ale. -I think the Sabbatical is my favorite beer they do so far. Such great flavor out of a such a small beer, exactly what I want as these temps warm up. -Athlone Community Radio will be broadcasting live for 4 hours from Golden Island Shopping Centre in Athlone, the heart of Ireland, to Celebrate World Radio Day 2019.

The 1,300- word statement was read out by the sitting President of UNSC Sebastiano Cardi, the Ambassador of Italy, at a formal UNSC session on Monday ( November 6, 2017) . -A presidential statement is a statement made by the President of the Security Council on behalf of the Council, adopted at a formal meeting of the Council and issued as an official document of the Council. -A Presidential Statement is often created when the United Nations Security Council cannot reach consensus or are prevented from passing a resolution by a permanent member’s veto, or threat thereof. Such statements are similar in content, format, and tone to resolutions, but are not legally binding. The adoption of a Presidential Statement requires consensus, although Security Council members may abstain. The Statement is signed by the sitting Security Council President. -It was the first presidential statement in 10 years on Myanmar. The Security Council has adopted such statements against Myanmar only three times, with the last one coming a decade ago. Diplomats hailed the move as a unified international stand against a humanitarian crisis that has been called “ethnic cleansing” by the U.N., U.S., France and the U.K. -It strongly condemned attacks against the Myanmar security forces carried out by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) on August 25, and then expressed “grave concern” over the government’s response, the alleged burning of villages and threats to villagers to flee, among others. -It called for reform in Myanmar’s security and justice sectors and urged the government to work with Bangladesh and the UN to allow the voluntary return of refugees to their homes, on the basis of an October 24 memorandum of understanding between the two country. -The panel welcomed a “union enterprise mechanism” for humanitarian assistance, resettlement and development in Rakhine. -It recommended the government ensure the mechanism supported such return and allow UN agencies full access, urging governments and all humanitarian partners to pay special attention to the needs of women, particular survivors of sexual violence. -The council said the government’s primary responsibility is the protection of Myanmar’s population, citizens or not. The statement reiterated concerns and demands previously laid out: an end to excessive military force in Rakhine province, a lack of humanitarian access for the U.N., a right of return for refugees, and steps to address the root causes of the conflict. The statement included most of the demands contained in a draft resolution presented last month by Britain and France, but that measure ran into strong opposition from China, a supporter of Myanmar’s former ruling junta. -It is said that, China had indicated it was willing to resort to its veto power to block a resolution, but Beijing finally agreed to a statement during negotiations. -The action is one step below a Security Council resolution in diplomatic significance, but a step above the Council’s previous action, a “press statement,” in September. -The statement requires the U.N. Secretary General António Guterres to report back to the Council within 30 days on Myanmar’s progress in addressing the Council’s demands. The statement isn’t as binding as a resolution would be, and carries no punitive measures, such as sanctions, if corrective steps aren’t taken. -The Security Council has held a series of meetings on Myanmar since September, including a briefing attended by high-level officials on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly gathering. But efforts to respond forcefully have stalled despite widespread reports of deaths, rapes and torture of Rohingya Muslim minorities, including women and children, at the hands of the country’s military. -Violence erupted in August after a Rohingya militant group attacked Myanmar security forces. Since late August, more than 600,000 Rohingya have been driven from their homes by an army campaign that the United Nations has described as ethnic cleansing. -During negotiations with China, language on citizenship rights was watered down in the statement as was a demand that Myanmar allow a UN human rights mission into the country, diplomats said. -The statement calls on Myanmar to cooperate with the United Nations and encourages UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to appoint a special advisor on Myanmar. -The council statement was agreed as Guterres prepares to travel to Manila this week to join leaders of the Southeast Asian (ASEAN) bloc for a summit. -The council also welcomed the Myanmar government’s public support for recommendations by the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State chaired by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and called for their full implementation. -It urged UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to consider appointing a special advisor on Myanmar. -Since the August attacks, over 604,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh. Some fled by land, others in boats over an inlet of the Bay of Bengal. -In the last two weeks, 4,000 refugees entered Bangladesh while four people drowned in a shipwreck while fleeing, officials said. -U.K Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said: I am pleased that today (6 November) the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has spoken with one voice on the appalling situation in Rakhine State, Burma. The UK has repeatedly called on the Burmese security forces to protect all civilians and act now to stop the violence and allow humanitarian aid to urgently reach all those who need it. The UNSC has today joined us in that call, with this historic Presidential Statement on Burma. -I am encouraged to see State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi making important steps forward, including establishing a domestic body to deliver humanitarian and development assistance in Rakhine, and making efforts to promote interfaith and intercommunal harmony, including a recent visit to northern Rakhine. The UK will be watching closely to ensure that the Burmese security forces do not attempt to frustrate these efforts. -The U.K. and France initially circulated a proposed Security Council resolution on Myanmar in late October, but China and Russia refused to engage and negotiate, diplomats said. China finally agreed to a similar text with minor changes as a presidential statement—which carries less weight than a resolution—and Russia followed suit. -Mr. Guterres has been outspoken about the Myanmar crisis and urged the Security Council to prevent continued bloodshed and curb the refugee flow. Mr. Guterres will be among the world leaders attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit later this week in Manila. -The Rohingya refugee crisis is expected to be a top issue of discussion at the summit, to be attended by US President Donald Trump, who will dispatch US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to Myanmar later this month. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will also attend that summit. -8i announced today it has launched a web player, the 8i Portal, for its volumetric 3D video of people in virtual reality. -Using 8i’s technology and VR goggles, you’ll be able to walk around a person inside a virtual environment to see their entire being. The Wellington, New Zealand-based startup said its VR platform will allow you to view fully volumetric 3D video. -Previously, VR cameras could record a partial torso of a person, but the 8i Portal goes beyond that. It enables “complete freedom of movement,” and it gives you a sense of “presence,” or the feeling that you are there in the virtual space with the person. It creates a more “emotional connection with the person you are watching,” the company said in the video below. -8i’s platform will let you create, experience, and share immersive 3D video of real people — for virtual reality, augmented reality, and the web. I’m not sure how it can be used for games, but you can see how it could give you a unique perspective at a music concert or theatrical performance. -Linc Gasking, who previously ran countingdown.com (which DreamWorks acquired), and Eugene d’Eon, formerly of Weta Digital and Nvidia, founded the startup in 2014. -To date, 8i has raised $14.8 million in funding from investors including RRE Ventures, Founders Fund Science, Horizons Ventures, Samsung Ventures, Dolby Family Ventures, Signia Venture Partners, Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments, Sound Ventures, Inevitable Ventures, Freelands, and Advancit Capital. -The new 8i Portal is a volumetric VR player for Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive VR platforms. If you use the Oculus Rift or Vive headsets, you can view cool VR videos of people who look real, not computer-generated, and move around them, make eye contact, and feel “true presence,” the company said. -In the past five years the percentage of weekly mobile banking users has more than tripled — from 9% in 2010 to 30% in 2015 — while weekly branch visitors fell from 40% to 24% in the same time frame. 2015 marked the first time that weekly mobile bankers (30%) exceeded branch bankers (24%) in Javelin’s survey. “What is driving this incredible growth? Smartphones and tablets are gaining rapidly in consumer adoption but it’s also a function of the fact that mobile banking services have not only proliferated but increased in the quality and features they offer consumers,” said Javelin analyst Daniel Van Dyke during a January 27 webinar reviewing the firm’s Mobile Banking, Smartphone and Tablet Forecast. -Javelin’s recent report Digital Account Opening Reaches The Tipping Point also found that more Americans are applying for credit cards, loans and investment products through digital channels than physical ones. Javelin has argued that “FIs that fail to divert resources from branch to digital suffer a large opportunity cost, missing out in lowered servicing costs for basic transactions and in sales of new products.” The service costs argument rings particularly true for mobile deposit, with Chase citing a cost of 65 cents for each teller deposit vs only 3 cents using mobile. While 38 percent of big bank customers utilize mobile deposit, only 18 percent of community bank and 16 percent of credit union customers do, placing these institutions at a significant disadvantage in terms of service costs. -The branch network, which peaked at 99,550 U.S. locations in 2009, has dropped each year since. The latest FDIC figure of 93,283 represents a 6.3 percent decline in the last six years, although Bryan Yurcan of American Banker was quick to point out that "most of that reduction has come with the nation's largest banks shedding inventory ... many smaller banks have held steady, and even increased, branch numbers." -Predicting that account maintenance will increasingly be performed on mobile devices but there will be times that customers seek face-to-face advice, Schwanhausser said FIs need to "get into the business where they're influencing the behavior of their customers, guiding them to a smarter way to manage their finances. Those are very personal kinds of conversations. It's not about eliminating (the branch) but how do we put the pieces together in a more coherent way?" -While early adopters of smartwatches tend to be affluent or part of Gen Y2 (ages 25-34), mobile bankers no longer carry such unique characteristics. As Van Dyke put it, "The mobile banker of today is the banking customer of today. They're becoming indistinguishable." Mobile banking has become so commonplace that Javelin projects 80 percent of consumers will be engaging in it — on a 90 day basis — by 2020. -In 2015 74 percent of mobile banking users employed an app and 69 percent utilized a mobile browser, dwarfing the 31 percent using SMS text messaging. Schwanhausser said FIs will continue to wrestle with the question of what to make available in the app: "Do you make it fine tuned and focused and streamlined or replicate what can be viewed in online banking?" Van Dyke predicts that banks will continue to take advantage of device-specific capabilities, whether using the camera for mobile deposit or geolocation to identify nearby ATMs. "Things like that will underscore the need to offer superior experiences on the app," said Van Dyke. -2015 marked a continuation of Android's dominance, as the operating system grew its share of the U.S. tablet market from 45 to 48 percent and its share of the U.S. smartphone market from 47 to 49 percent. Apple's tablet share fell from 46 to 43 percent, with its smartphone share dropping from 46 to 45 percent. While Apple's numbers have been moving in the wrong direction Van Dyke reiterated that iOS users are the most valuable that an FI can serve. "iPhone users show extremely unique characteristics. They bank more often, they make payments more often," said Van Dyke. "When it comes to banks and payment providers iPhone owners are the gold standard." In addition to serving Android users, Javelin recommended that FIs prioritize an app on Amazon — but only after all iOS and Android device types have been addressed. Javelin suggested that there was no value in supporting Windows or Blackberry users, who only represent 4 and 2 percent of the smartphone market respectively. -Roser, M. （2017）。 The short history of global living conditions and why it matters that we know it.

On Saturday I made the best beefburgers yet - the recipe's from a fellow Sausagemaking.org member, Oddley. -I've always been a "don't use anything other than chuck steak, ground with salt and pepper" man, but he's converted me. The spices aren't discernable in the taste, but it wouldn't be as good without them. -Things were going so well, that is until the element went in the fan oven on Sunday. £50 later and it's up and running again. -However, things are looking up again. Maurice rang me yesterday lunch-time to say that the fishmonger had replaced the roe that wasn't very good, free of charge. So yesterday evening we dry salted them for 8 hours, and they're in the cold smoker as I speak. -They certainly look more promising than the last lot. -Very interested in how the online course went Phil, I’ve been putting this off for too long and it’s high time I got one of those certificates. -My husband is being posted to Darwin for work and we have decided to drive there. We are going in January and I know this is the wet season. My question is, do you think it will be safe travelling the Stuart Hwy to Darwin in a Holden Sedan at the start of January? -We plan on stopping at all the main towns for the night. I just worry about flooding on the Hwy and we are travelling with a child and want to make sure we are doing the right thing. -Just use common sense. As long as you don't drive into any water deeper than 200mm, and you stick to the road and sealed parking bays (i.e. don't pull off the road into any soft shoulders), there is no problem at all. It's a normal highway. -Of course there is always a chance of major flooding with the highway being cut by water deeper than that, which means you would have to wait for the water to go down before you can continue your journey. -It does happen nearly every year, sometimes more than once, but I really can't predict when and where or for how long. Only Petrus can tell you :-). -Keep an eye on the weather forecast. Big rains do not come out of nowhere, they come out of big, monsoonal depressions. If one of those is heading for the region, then you may have to reconsider your driving plans. -And of course, always check the road reports. -How did the travel go? -That must have been a long journey. I am thinking of traveling around Australia one day. How did the travel go? -In my opinion traveling from Melbourne to Darwin in January might be a bit uneasy, especially when you are planning to do it without any rescue baggage. There can be flash floods, and within just a matter of seconds the entire highway can become dangerous to travel on. Furthermore, while stopping at major cities for the night is a good idea, it doesn't take you out from the risk of facing floods. And of course, you are not going to like the idea of being stranded on the terrace of a roadside motel till rescue workers pull you guys out. Think over it. I guess you can come up with a better alternative than this. -Editor's note: I removed your totally unrelated spam link, mate. If your comment wasn't a dead give away that you have never been anywhere near the north, the link certainly was. -Well, we did it and thankfully had not one problem. There was rain but that stopped our journey because we were lucky enough that the water was off the Ed by the time we reached the apparent flooded areas.... It was a very long drive and all I can say is prepare… prepare… prepare. :-) Make sure you have everything you need in case of emergency and you should be fine.... Wishing you safe travels! -I hope you have a safe trip to Darwin. -I hope you have a safe trip! -That's a long trip you're planning mate, this is what you need: axe, sleeping bag, one huge sack of food, around 30-40 litres of water, some things your kid would like to do, phone, tent, 30-40 litres of oil, torch, 3 knifes, extra tyres (8 tyres), building tools. -Join in and write your own page!

The proposed county incentives are part of an agreement in which Amazon would occupy significant office space and bring at least 25,000 high-paying jobs to Arlington in coming years. -Opponents hope to postpone the vote until after additional public hearings, where they want representatives of the online retail giant to answer questions directly from anyone in the community. -The Saturday hearing was scheduled to begin no earlier than 1 p.m. and last several hours before the vote. Ninety-one people signed up in advance to speak on the topic. -In the four months since Arlington won a much-publicized, nationwide contest to attract the facility known as HQ2, Arlington residents have been asking questions about its impact on their community. -People have looked at the county’s five online Q&A sessions 14,000 times, and about 400 attended community events to discuss the provisions in the Amazon agreement. Board members and county staff also met with scores of civic organizations, served on multiple panels and appeared on television, online and in news articles to discuss the deal. -Most Arlingtonians, northern Virginians and residents of the Washington region support Amazon’s arrival, several surveys have found. Business organizations, universities and nonprofit groups came out strongly for the deal. -But a small, vocal group of activists has sought to block the project, saying that the county and commonwealth should not give any incentives to one of the world’s most valuable companies. They also have demanded housing and job protections for existing residents. -These opponents — including left-wing organizations and immigrants groups — felt empowered after Amazon canceled plans last month to build a headquarters facility in New York City, also with 25,000 jobs. The company withdrew after criticism of the plan from some elected leaders, unions and community activists. -In Virginia, however, such opposition did not appear to catch fire among the broader public. -Officials estimate that the Amazon project’s net fiscal impact on Arlington could be worth additional revenue of $162 million over 12 years and $392.5 million over 16 years. -The incentives agreement promises the world’s largest online retailer cash grants estimated at about $23 million if it occupies 6.05 million square feet of office space in Crystal City and Pentagon City through 2035. -The money would come from an expected increase in the hotel, motel and lodging tax paid by visitors; Amazon would get up to 15 percent of that increase, pegged to how much floor space is in active use by the company each year from 2020 to 2035. -Amazon’s offices will be located within an already-established special tax district where a portion of the property tax revenue goes toward infrastructure improvements such as parks and wider sidewalks. -The incentive agreement says that half of any new revenue from that district starting in 2021 will go specifically toward improvements around the Amazon buildings for the following 10 years. That grant is worth an estimated $28 million but the county says it’s not a grant just for Amazon, because the improvements will benefit other companies in the immediate area. Amazon will have a chance to express its opinion on how the county uses the money, although the board will make the decision. -The county also offered Amazon the possibility of using its fast, fiber-optic network connection, which would be the subject of a separate agreement if the company chooses to use it. -It’s not yet clear whether Amazon will pay the local business license tax because that tax is levied only on certain types of business, and Amazon has not yet announced which of its business units will be based in Arlington. If the company does pay the license tax, then some of its operations could be eligible for a discount of up to 72 percent under an existing program designed to attract technology companies. -While Arlington pored over the details, the Virginia General Assembly passed, and Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam signed, an incentives package worth up to $750 million for Amazon. -To find out more information about Dr. Leigh Ricketts, please review the contact information below in order speak with Dr. Leigh Ricketts. -Dr. Leigh Ricketts is a chiropractic practice that delivers chiropractic services to patients in Knoxville, TN. -Are you Dr. Leigh Ricketts in Knoxville, TN? -Pre-Owned, AWD Titanium 4dr Crossover, Ebony interior, Gas, 20(city)/27(highwa­y) mpg, Auto 6 speed, I4, 2.00L, All wheel drive.

They always have such beautiful pieces that belong in every women closet. I just wished my wallet agreed with me 😋 Lol! -I received the brass that you sent me, and all looks well. Thank you very much for all your trouble and the extra 3 pieces. I feel that you have an outstanding company and are striving the best that you can to achieve customer satisfaction. I will be certain to tell my friends about US Reloading Supply. ~ Michelle Admin Note: By accident we shorted them two shells, so we sent them replacements. -So you have your children writing every day. Great! Now, of course, you need to become their editor. Here is where some find a challenge in the natural approach to language arts. What if I don’t feel competent to edit my child’s writing? We’ll address the underlying problem with that argument further down, but for now — here are 10 ways to become a better editor of your child’s writing. -1. Read A Strong Start in Language. -This Ruth Beechick title for beginning grades is recommended widely — from The Well-Trained Mind to Sonlight. Typically packaged as part of The Three Rs, A Strong Start in Language helps you become the editor from the beginning — from the time your child traces his first letters, to copywork, and through dictation. Read our full review (scroll down). -2. Read You Can Teach Your Child Successfully. -Over 100 pages are devoted to writing in this followup to the Three Rs by Ruth Beechick mentioned above. The book speaks to you as your child’s tutor and therefore includes writing activities, writing lessons to get you started and that you can pattern your own lessons after, and suggestions for usage, grammar, mechanics, and spelling. Best of all it tells you what you can expect from your child at various levels on the writing scale. Very valuable reference to finding your way as you teach writing naturally to your children and we cannot recommend it highly enough. You can read our full review (scroll down). -3. Use Learning Grammar Through Writing. -This handy reference published by Educators Publishing Service is now out of print. But it is worth finding. When you find a mistake in your child’s writing, you can find the coordinating pithy rule with an example to have your child copy into a grammar notebook. A checklist at the back helps you keep track of the skills you have covered. -The best way to improve your editing is to read good writing. While you work through the suggestions above, you can be building your foundation in good writing at the same time. -5. Make use of a dictionary. -Before the days of Kindle we had electronic dictionaries handy that included a grammar reference. Although somewhat pricey, the better models not only include the definitions, but also the etymology of the word. Most also come with a built-in thesaurus and other tools. If nothing else, a good dictionary can shed some light on how words are properly used in sentences. -Not popular with some, but a valuable skill for understanding how words work in sentences. There are easy online courses that can help you quickly learn the basics. For simple and easy practice we like The Complete Book of Diagrams by Mary Daily published by The Riggs Institute Press, which also is a great help for Mom. -7. Use Learn to Write the Novel Way. -While your child writes his novel as he works through this book, you have a guide that helps you edit your child’s writing. Learn by doing. Read our full review. -8. Read The Elements of Style. -This widely recommended classic by Strunk and White holds the title for the most concise and simple usage, composition, and spelling reference. There is even an early version in the public domain. -9. Read How to Write Clearly by Ruth Beechick. -Subtitled, The Meaning Approach, this is another handy writing reference that covers finding a topic, getting organized, outlining, using abstract and concrete terms, sentences, comma usage, active and passive voice, choosing words, usage, and more! Read our full review. -It’s never too late. Having a working knowledge of how Latin works is probably one of the best ways to understand how the English language works. -You will also want a grammar reference. Our favorite grammar reference is the Handbook of Grammar and Composition published by A Beka. We purchased it on a recommendation in The Well-Trained Mind and haven’t looked back. -Now, back to the initial question: what if you don’t feel competent to edit your child’s writing? You do know how to write, yes? In this day of streaming output you may even write for a blog or other publication. Using the ideas above, you should be able to stay ahead of your child’s work. Of course, at some point, if you feel you are losing ground there are many qualified and reputable online writing tutors available. -What to have your child do. -More structure for those who need it. -Where to put the writing. -You’ll also want to have your child keep one of these. -It comes on again on her grandson’s christening day. A lost moment, a blank spot, one that Carole does not know how to measure. She is there one second, then she is not. She knows exactly where she is, then she does not. Her older church friends tell similar stories about their surgeries, how they count backward from ten with an oxygen mask over their faces, then wake up before reaching one, only to find that hours, and sometimes even days, have gone by. She feels as though she were experiencing the same thing. -Decisions that affect others in bad ways cannot always be traced to one individual. This makes it easier for coporations, as a whole, to engage in unethical behavior. -Indeed, some argue that whole purpose pf the coperation is to make the most money that it can for owners and investers. -I do what I can for you. -Definitely my favorite restaurant in Macau. If you want to experience the authentic Portuguese Macanese dishes, with live one man band (sings with guitar) and cozy ambience. This is it. For extra boost to add on to your one-in-a-lifetime experience, try order Crepe suzette! 3-michelin-stars Chef Antonio himself will invite you to join him cooking at your table and be prepared for a fiery ride! -One of many Signature dish – Seafood rice! -It’s getting hot in here -Flaming Chouriço! -Cooking crepe suzette! Be careful with the alcohols! -Tadaaa! Proudly present Crepe suzette by Chef Antonio and Me! -Another popular local traditional Portuguese Macanese restaurant with more mature settings and environment. -The famous african chicken – this one’s a lil spicy!

Talk about hospitality! A major problem for all ladies who carry handbags, basically everyone! We always need to get extra chair, or hang it on the chair, or let the bag share half of our chair! So Bravo! And obviously the food is Goo-Oood tooo! HEre i picked out my favorite dishes! -Crispy pork! Not oily at all! -Crispy Spring rolls stick filled with shrimp and mangos! -Website: http://www.cityofdreamsmacau.com/dining/chinese/jade-dragon Probably the most exclusive and expensive restaurant with millions of dollars on investment, from the interior designs, décor, utensils and obviously the exquisite ingredients for the dishes that are created by Chef Tam Kwok Fung. Be prepared for a fabulous Chinese fine dining. -Prepared for a memorable meal! -Tiny portion, long name, here we go! Crispy yam and vegetable roll serve with sweet and sour sauce, marinated black fungus with garlic and cucumber in aged italian balsamic vinegar, deep fried bean curd with spicy salt, jade dragon dumpling! -Don’t let the simplicty appearance fool you. It’s Lychee wood roasted crispy chicken with black truffle! Umm yummz! -Looking for Dimsum? Looking for fine dining setting? Looking for traditional Guangdong culinary? Look no further! Look for Lua Azul! Enjoy the numerous dimsum menu they offered, but better yet, the taste will make you smile like a crazy person! Or is that just me? -Not a complete dimsum meal without Ha-Gao! -Highly recommended – Spring rolls with smoked salmon and shrimp in mustard sauce. YUMSSSSS ! -Need something cool? Or something hot? Not too much, not too little. Just to warm up or cool down. Here I highly recommend you steamed milk pudding with red beans! (Well im a big red beans lover) Everytime I go, the café is always packed! And I know exactly why! Go try yourself! -When you see this sign, you know you’re there! -The famous steamed milk pudding! Comes in both hot and cold! Your call! -“The only things more colorful than the décor are the fragrant whiffs of savory goodies.” Their quote didn’t do them justice. Not just the smell, but the taste! The looks! It’s a brillian work of art. You’ll feel very girly at this Pastry Bar being undecisive of which one to eat. A Truly Desserts heaven! -Can you feel dat?

Too bad the day I went was a little foggy though L When you enter this restaurant, you will feel like a royalty, from the excellent service, marvelous food; a truly mixture of art and culinary, spectacular interior design; the chandelier, the plates, the décor, the grand piano… urgh everything is a dream! -Yes! Desserts come in carts! So hard to choooose! -Other yum yum in the tum tums.

Or recommend any that you think I should try! But for now….

It not only empowers them but also has a positive effect on their family and surroundings. Women with more education tend to have fewer children, which benefits them, their families and the society at large. Education is also one of the most powerful elements of improving people’s health. It saves the lives of millions of mothers and children, helps prevent diseases, and is an essential component of efforts to reduce malnutrition. Educated mothers are better informed about diseases; therefore, they take preventative measures, recognize signs of illness early and tend to use health care services more often. -To create awareness regarding the importance of girl child eductaion, SOC Films in collaboration with Chime of Change, created a series of short documentaries on young girls who want to achieve their dreams and aspirations to seek excellence in various professions in future whether it's sports, literature, science, math, activism, or so on and so forth. Chime for Change, a global movement is aimed at strengthening voices speaking out to support the cause of promoting justice, health and education for girls and women the world over. These documentaries were screened at an event in New York on 11th October this year, which is also celebrated as the International Day of the Girl Child. The event was also featured in Huffington Post. -Areeba Fatima, a student of Dawood Public School, one of the biggest girls’ school in Karachi, is also featured in one of the documentaries where she expresses her desire to become a diplomat to be able to represent Pakistan at the UN and paint a positive picture of the country. The documentary can be viewed here: http://vimeo.com/107582646 .

Although ADAST retained its existing production, it increasingly started to focus on cooperative arrangements. The company will continue these trends after its change of ownership. -The High brightness is being compared to 350 Watts conventional xenon light source that can be utilized for critical illness like laparoscopy without any problem and with utmost ease. -It has an extended service life, which means it can easily last for 60000 hours at a max, which is 120 times of xenon.

From where I sit I can see The Giving Tree, The Story of Ferdinand, The Hobbit, and one of the Narnia books. It is much better if you go look at the real cover of Fancy Nancy and the Dazzling Book Report. -So, when I live in my house in the English countryside, and I am sitting in my personal library, this is what I am going to be sitting on. -Kiehl's Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate - 1.7 oz. -It takes more than chugging a glass of water to bring life back to dehydrated skin. Fortunately, this concentrated serum was created specifically to revive the driest of skin, reversing age-related dehydration that causes fine lines and rough texture. A potent blend of plant-based glycerin and Japanese shiso leaf extract plumps skin and softens fine lines so skin looks healthy, hydrated, and restored. -Great texture! Went on and soaked in like gel-water and kept my face hydrated and smooth all day. Loved it, will definitely purchase. -I really like this brand and am happy to use this serum as it plumps the skin. My lines seems smoother. -Loved the soft feel on my usually very dry, sensitive skin. I received a sample size in one of my Birchbox purchases, not really large enough to see if my skin would reject it. The price point is too high for me. -I wish it didn’t have silicones in it - I know that’s what makes my skin so smooth but it’s not great for my acne-prone complexion. Maybe once my skin clears up this’ll be a staple product. -This serum is amazing! I have applied this product to my face every morning for the past two months, and my skin has never looked better. -I always use a serum under my moisturizer. I Love this stuff! Feels sooooo good on my skin. I use it on my face, neck, and chest area. Seriously considering buying the full sized, which I rarely do after sampling a product. This one really impressed me! -I love Kiehl's products, but this is not relevant to me. I do not have wrinkles. I have used this to help moisturize and it's okay. I am in different about this product. -My stepson decided he wanted a Pokemon birthday this year. The Pokemon figures are pretty hard to make into a cake so I decided to make the Pokeball, which is just a round ball, half red & half white. -I’ve been wanting to try my hand at decorating a cake with fondant after washing billions of hours of Charm City Cakes’ amazing creations and ‘the Cake Boss’. Obviously this would not be anywhere in the same league as the cakes they create, but you have to start somewhere, right? -I have to say that even after making the fondant, I was still surprised at how heavy it was when it came down to decorating the cake. It’s not like pie dough where you can roll it onto itself and move it. You actually need to decide ahead of time to bring the cake closer to you. I found this out after having finally kneaded the fondant so it was just right and then rolling it to just the right thickness and then trying to get it to my cake… And having it rip apart and fall on the floor… Thus having to start all over with a new piece. And I did this TWICE before moving the cake. Ugh. Sometimes my brain doesn’t work! -Anyway, once I moved the cake and got a feel for the fondant, it went pretty smoothly. -Then I went to add the final touches, which I thought would be the easiest part… I had that icing in a can with the writing tips. That’s what I used for the black lines I needed. It came out in globs and made a mess. Then I tried to ‘fix’ it by making another line so maybe it would look like it was supposed to be thicker. It looked awful! Oh well. It was black, it’s not like I could take it back off and start over (the fondant instantly took on the color!). I decided to just be happy the fondant worked. -But then, because I can’t just leave well enough alone, I had to write on the cake. I used that same icing in a can, this time in blue. Maybe it’s just me. I don’t think I can write on cakes. The writing was awful and I was very upset about it. I do have a really nice set of cake decorating tips so next time I’ll see if I can do any better with the decorations using homemade icing. -The actual cake was just a white box cake, I made a blue and a green layer and then I cut each layer in two so it would be a 4-layer cake. I made a delicious vanilla buttercream to frost it. I also added a layer of sprinkles :). I wish I could post a pic of the inside but it was so late after trick-or-treating last night, it never got cut! -I think I’m going to go eat the leftover vanilla buttercream! -The 100% Polyester Spiderman Costume 2-Piece Kids Pajama Set is a sleepy set featuring your favorite Marvel hero!

Without a doubt she is the biggest public relation's splash ever in the transgender community. Now we have a former Olympic hero along with Navy Seal Kristin Beck as recent "coming out" stories. In fact, Kristin is running for US Congress. -I am sure Jenner's life will ever allow her to ever experience the everyday lives we live as transgender women. Can you imagine the paparazzi crowding into a women's restroom with her? -After watching her last show rater intently (and knowing it's a glossy over produced Kartrashian show) I couldn't see the emotion in Jenner. Again, I don't know all the facts about her, except she went out and bought the best plastic surgery money could buy. Again, maybe that's why I can't see any emotion in her face-she can't move it!!!! -Plus, I have no idea how long she has been back on HRT. It took me three years on hormones to begin to see the world in a different way. When I watch Jenner, I wonder if she has passed over (no pun intended) to the feminine side much at all. She tries to overtalk most people and doesn't want to listen for the real problems-typical male. -Then again, maybe I am just watching the true quandary of a Mtf gender transition play out with Jenner. I don't question the pure persistence and strength it takes to jump the gender fence. It will be interesting to see in the years to come what happens with Jenner. Will a "softer-gentler" Caitlin truly begin to enjoy a life in the girls sandbox? Or, will the ego trip of doing it still be more important? -This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by Lodewijk Luijt 1 year ago. -I’d like to pitch an idea to a production company that involves filming 1 theater play from 3 (camera)locations.

A literary cousin of the great memoirs of fellow Alabama boy Rick Bragg, this collection explores what it was to come of age in the deep New South of the 1970s. Spread the word. Bring your friends, family, neighbors, Baptists, Methodists, Athiests... in other words come one and all! -Both the federation of states and the federal super-state describe the same zero-sum game from different angles. Either there is one single state of Europe (federalism), in which case there are no national member states; or else the national member states remain Europe’s rulers, in which case there is no Europe (inter-governmentalism). Within this framework of thought, whatever Europe gains, the individual nations lose. And this is true whether one is for a given option or against it. Caught up in the false alternatives of the national gaze, we are given the choice between no Europe or no Europe. -The decline of the nation-state is really a decline of the specifically national content of the state and an opportunity to create a cosmopolitan state system that is better able to deal with the problems that all nations face in the world today. Economic globalisation, transnational terrorism, global warming: the litany is familiar and daunting. There are a host of problems that are clearly beyond the power of the old order of nation-states to cope with. The answer to global problems that are gathering ominously all around and that refuse to yield to nation-state solutions is for politics to take a quantum leap from the nation-state system to the cosmopolitan state system. Politics needs to regain credibility in order to craft real solutions. -More than anywhere else in the world, Europe shows that this step is possible. Europe teaches the modern world that the political evolution of states and state systems is by no means at an end. National realpolitik is becoming unreal, not only in Europe, but throughout the world. It is turning into a lose-lose game. -Europeanisation means creating a new politics. It means entering as a player into the meta-power game, into the struggle to form the rules of a global order. The catchphrase for the future might be: move over America, Europe is back. -The EU uses money for things that the various countries governments would not dream of spending it on, such as regional projects, culture, the arts and so on. The governments would probably just use that money to bail out banks.. -This Tuesday, October 9th, we will taste through the line of Bayou Rum from Louisiana, distilled from locally grown sugarcane and molasses. -Welcome Punch will be poured at 8:30pm and will start the tasting at 9p sharp. -This event is free for Caña Rum Bar members, $15 for non-members. -NC series toilets were installed in 26 patient bathrooms as part of the renovations performed at the Bielefeld hospital. -The hospital's technical director and hygiene expert chose the TOTO toilets because they were proven to dramatically reduce bacterial loads required for a German Hygiene Certificate. The new Tornado Flush technology, special CeFiONtect glaze and easy-to-clean rimless bowl prevent dirt and bacteria from accumulating in the toilet. The flush is also far quieter than conventional toilets. -FH PRO Omega 3 contains the fats you need to support optimal reproductive health and fertility. Includes pharmaceutical grade EPA and DHA for maximum purity and quality. -Do you have a fear of dietary fat? If your answer is yes, it wouldn’t be surprising, given that for several decades now we have been told that eating foods that contain fat is bad for our waistlines and our hearts. This fear of dietary fat has given rise to a huge demand for low fat foods, and the aisles of the grocery store are now stocked with reduced-fat and fat-free options of just about every food imaginable. But, unfortunately, our obsession with avoiding all types of dietary fat comes at a cost for fertility. While it is certainly true that too much of the wrong types of fat, namely saturated fats and trans fats, are not good for our overall health, there are certain types of fat that are, in fact, essential to good health and optimal fertility. FH Pro Omega 3 contains the fats you need to support optimal reproductive health and fertility. -FH-Pro Omega 3 for Men and Women contains oil only from small fish, including herring, mackerel, sardines and anchovies, caught in the cold water of Iceland using sustainable fishing practices. The EPA and DHA-rich oil is then processed in a GMP (good manufacturing practices)-compliant facility to remove heavy metals and pesticides, resulting in premium quality fish oil that is pharmaceutical grade and meets or exceeds all official regulations related to environmental contaminants. -I have been trying to concieve for years and have tried different omega-3’s. This one is small and doesn’t leave a bad after taste. I wouldn’t use any other brand, I love it! -one of the better i’ve found, they are pretty small and don’t have a bad aftertaste like most others. -Mahatma Gandhi1 once said, “The world provides enough for every man’s need but not for every man’s greed.” Sometimes it’s easy to agree with proclamations of world peace and say things like, “The rich should really give to the poor and solve world hunger!” However, when the giving strikes closer to home, it can be tougher than we think. -I once had a watch that I thought was seriously cool. It was a boy’s watch, but I didn’t mind; it had all the dials and gadgets you could want. I visited my family and my younger brother was crazy about my watch and asked if he could have it. I told him I couldn’t possibly part with such amazingness and sadly left it at that. Shortly after getting home, my treasured watch met with an accident and broke. It was then that I realized how stupid it was that I’d missed the opportunity to give it to my little brother, who was so much more important to me than that watch ever could be. It might not have lasted him forever either, but at least he would have been happy for a while. And more than the watch, the meaning behind my giving him something special would have stuck with him so much longer. -I try to remember that incident whenever I’m tempted to be selfish with my things or start to prize them too highly. It’s great to have nice things and groovy gadgets. (Don’t tell anyone, but I’m fairly addicted to my phone, which contains all my appointments, mail, reminders, to-do lists, Facebook, Twitter, Messenger, Google, and favorite games.) These days, the “must-have” gadgets are endless—from smartphones, iPads, laptops, and gaming equipment right down to 3D home TVs! If you’re able to have some of these nice things and enjoy them and they help you with your work and studies, or are also a fun source of entertainment, technology can be great. But it’s good to step back sometimes and imagine what it would be like if one day all those things instantly disappeared. After your initial withdrawal symptoms, you’d realize that life goes on without material things. What matters most are our loved ones—our friends and family members. Sometimes we can forget this truth, and that’s when we tend to act selfishly. -The act of giving not only helps those we give to, but us as well. Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and it will be given to you.”2 Sometimes what you get back will be something tangible, such as the Lord supplying things you need or someone giving to you, but more often than not what you receive in return is the satisfaction that you did something good. Have you ever given someone something they really needed or wanted and watched their face light up? It’s an amazing feeling! -An old American movie from the 1930s called The Man Who Played God is about a concert pianist who lost his hearing in a bomb explosion. He finally got through his depression when he learned how to read lips. He’d watch people in Central Park (New York City), where they’d talk about their problems and troubles, and he would do what he could to solve their problems anonymously. I think it would be amazing to do something like that, to know what other people need and be able to secretly give it to them. -There is a cute kids’ song that one or two of you may have heard when you were knee high to a grasshopper, called, “I’d Like to Be Invisible.” The singer wishes he was invisible so that he could “spread love everywhere, and help in secret ways without you knowing he was there.” (Yup, it even rhymed!) The truest part of the song, though, is where it concludes that you don’t have to be invisible, because you can do things to make a difference all around you. You can make it a point to look for where the need is and do what you can to fill it. -It’s a funny story but it rings true. It’s easy for me to think that if I had a million dollars, I’d love to give it away to help people, or to ponder all the great things I’d do for my family with money like that; but when it comes to giving away a small portion of my free time to parents who could use a break from their kids, or doing a favor that costs me in the here and now, that’s where the true essence of giving really kicks in. -I know a lot of missionaries who do great works of evangelism and charity, and it’s inspiring to read about the orphanages they help and the seminars they host, and all the other great projects they do. However, I have a very personal description of what makes a missionary: it’s someone with a giving heart. That means not only do they do big, impressive (and usually well-advertised) works to help the poor or disadvantaged, but they’re also always there to lend a helping hand whenever there is a need. They give to their own hurt; and they don’t ask for or expect favors in return. They don’t have a personal agenda. They just give. And you can feel their love and kindness in their actions. They’re the ones you only ask for help when you really need it, because you know they’ll do everything in their power to help you. In return, you want to do anything you can to help them. Their lives are examples of cheerful and selfless giving. -I would love to be remembered as someone like that! Sure, we all have bouts of selfishness, and human nature tends to take the path of least resistance, but it’s something to strive for, don’t you think? Sometimes giving can be as simple as a sincere compliment, a hug, or a word of appreciation. It can also be giving your favorite gizmo to your little brother or sister when it would mean the world to them. -3 Kahlil Gibran (January 6, 1883–April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese artist, poet, and writer. -New research from the University of Illinois in Chicago suggests that fetal exposure to a commonly used chemical which is found in products such as water bottles, soup can liners and paper receipts, can increase the risk of prostate cancer later in life. -Exposure of the fetus to the chemical BPA in utero has been linked to several kinds of cancer, including prostate cancer, in rodent models in the past. The new findings show that human prostate tissue could also be susceptible. -"The safety of BPA has long been a contentious topic of debate and this is not the first time that it has been linked to some types of cancer. However, research in this area is fraught with difficulties because it relies solely on testing the impact of the chemical in cell or animal models. It is therefore difficult to draw conclusions as to what might happen in real-life and as such we cannot make a definitive link between BPA exposure and prostate cancer in later life based on the results of this study. -This study highlights that much more needs to be done to identify the lifestyle and environmental factors that put men more at risk of prostate cancer so that we can start to reduce the number of deaths from the disease." -Call (507)537-1537 for an appointment! -Our online stores house thousands of small and large animal products for your companions and even for your livestock! -Click on the logos above to enter the store of your choice! -Added bonus -> ALL ITEMS SHIP RIGHT TO YOUR HOME! -Only a $38 order qualifies you for FREE SHIPPING! -OpenWRT that use -Os to make small binaries. -OS X.

Her charm, confidence and regal style captured the imagination of the American public when she hosted the President and Mrs. Eisenhower at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. Wearing a magnificent pale green crinoline evening dress - hand-embroidered with sequins, pearls, beads and diamante - she regally displayed her passion for fashion. Now, in honor of that historic occasion, The Hamilton Collection recreates her royal look with the Reflections of Queen Elizabeth II Figurine, an exclusive, limited-edition first-ever. -Every inch of this handcrafted figurine is skillfully crafted and painted by hand, from her regal pose and sculptured fur wrap to the intricate bas-relief floral pattern on her gown. Soft pearlescent and brilliant metallic gold paints accentuate the bas-relief to wonderfully reflect the design of the original dress, while metallic silver paint and glitter accents adorn her tiara and jewelry. And if all that weren't enough, her breathtaking gown is lavished with 90 individually hand-set Swarovski® crystals - like the ones the queen still uses to accent her gorgeous ensembles today! A beveled-edge, polished mirror base, graced with the queen's golden royal crest, further reflects the beauty of this glorious Royal Family collectible, which includes a Collector's Card featuring details about the iconic gown it depicts. -The Christmas Market is guaranteed to set the Christmas mood for shoppers and vendors alike.

Her projects come about as a result of field observations and, in particular, zones of urban conflict where she meets inhabitants to draw on their experiences and stories. These encounters aren’t as straightforward as all that, they involve a reflection on the ways we approach strangeness but also, sometimes, associating with adversity. How can we speak with what we have identified as the language of the enemy? How can we cross the border between apparently opposing positions, not to reconcile them in the fantasised about myth of the consensual community, but to enrich the ways we apprehend adversity and our methods of conflictual interaction which, don’t forget, are the basis of all democracy. Anna Rispoli invents a mechanism which enables us to make these questions, often repressed by our contemporary societies, something which can be experienced by everyone. -I hope you, your kitties, family, friends and loved ones have plenty of blessings to share this holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to yours! -If you follow us on Facebook or if you have followed us for years, then chances are you have already seen this photo. It is my all time favorite cat Christmas photo, so I share it yearly. -Poinsettias are poisonous if cats eat them, so it’s not the best photo to share because of that. However, my mom has never had a cat bother a poinsettia – so she always left them out. My sister took this photo of my Rags when he was 18 years old. -Christmas ALWAYS reminds me of my childhood and of Rags. We were gifted with Rags as a Christmas present (I am holding him in the photo below and my brother, Marsh, is holding Cosby who passed at 10 months from FIP). -The day we got rags. I am holding Rags. My older brother, Marsh, is holding Cosby, my little brother, Spencer, is in the box and Snickers is the GSD. -Christmas also reminds me of Rags because I always had him help me unwrap my presents – even his last Christmas at 19 years old, I lugged him over to my parents’ house to help me undo my stocking. He laid on the couch as an old man and just bitchy meowed at me, while we undid the stocking. -My fondest memories are of him playing in all the wrapping paper before my mom would scoop it up and put it in the garbage bag. Or how he would help me play with new toys or set up new doll houses. Murphy, my parents’ 14-year old Ragdoll, still loves to play with wrapping paper – and he’s a sucker for curling ribbon – gotta be careful with that (Murphy had surgery at 18 months old from eating and swallowing curling ribbon). -Yeowww! Catnip bananas also always remind me of Christmas and Rags because Santa left one in Rags stocking when he was 15 years old – and he went nutzo for it….not only that, but continued to play with it over and over again – something he had never done with a toy. -Do you have any cats and Christmas stories to share? -so true – that’s true in life too – special days usually don’t fall on special holidays! -HOW do we explain why 5.5m French voters in the first round of the presidential elections voted for far-right parties that are xenophobic, anti-semitic, racist and ultra-nationalist? Sounding off about the wrongness of the vote will not help understand the reasons underlying their choice. Everybody in politics needs to begin an urgent, thorough and much-needed self-criticism. -The vote may have been a valuable wake-up call for France if it opens the eyes of party leaders and revives the debate on how to build a nation based on justice and solidarity. What vanished in April was the comforting thought that although everything was changing in the world outside, in French politics everything could stay the same; that two ageing parties, the Gaullists and the Socialists, could share power as they had done for 30 years. -People have sensed for some time that these two political forces are worn out. Their historic mission seems to have ended. Each in its own way gives the impression of an organisation going nowhere, with crumbling infrastructures, no organisation or programme, no ideology, no identity and no compass for the journey ahead. -Previous elections had already shown that neither party was capable of addressing the needs of millions of people who are genuinely frightened by the new realities of the post-industrial world that has emerged after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war. The disposable workers, the underclasses of the banlieues, the long-term unemployed, the excluded, the many people pushed into early retirement, the young people in precarious jobs, the families on the brink of poverty. For all these, the recent past has brought years of fear and anxiety, with many familiar landmarks apparently gone forever. -The Socialist party in particular, with almost no working-class people in its local organisations and several leaders in the supertax bracket, gives the impression that it lives on another planet, light years from the experiences of ordinary people. It has shown itself remarkably insensitive to what Daniel Mermet describes as “the sufferings of under-France”. -What about the right? Some conservative politicians see the far right as untouchable, but others have been happy to do electoral deals with it. The former liberal leader, Michel Poniatowski, recently wondered in public whether it was “any more immoral to accept the votes of communists, who murdered millions of people in Europe, than those of the National Front” (1). This perverse logic allowed Christian Democrat leaders of the Union pour la démocratie française (UDF) to accept National Front votes in 1998 to be elected to the presidency of five French regions. -While this plague infected the inner workings of France’s political institutions, was it reasonable to imagine that France would remain immune to the upsurge of far-right politics in its immediate neighbours (see Fascism isn’t what it used to be, by Jean-Yves Camus, in this issue)? Or likely that France would be the exception when, like other European countries, its social fabric has been violently rent in the name of modernity: by liberalism and globalisation, European unification, the decline in national sovereignty, the abandonment of the franc, the disappearance of national borders, the hegemony of the United States, multiculturalism, loss of identity and the crisis of the welfare state? -All this happened in the context of the end of the industrial era and technological transformations that led to widespread economic insecurity and terrible social malaise. In such a context, with competition raised to the status of a natural imperative, an increase in violence and criminality was inevitable. The abruptness and brutality of these changes meant that uncertainties are accumulating as horizons have been lost, the world seems less clear, and history appears to defy logic and understanding. Ordinary people have felt abandoned by governments of both right and left; unsurprisingly, since the press describes them as corrupt, as liars and cheats. -Many people feel lost and panicky; as Tocqueville put it,"since the past no longer illuminates the present, the human spirit walks in darkness". Old magicians have returned to conjure with this new obscurantism, this breeding-ground of fear, confusion and resentment. Their rhetoric is demagogic, authoritarian and racist; they talk of a return to the old values (work, family, motherland) and blame foreigners, Arabs and Jews for all the disorders, social problems and insecurities. Immigrants are an easy target, always available, because they symbolise social upheavals, and among the lowest-income earners they are seen as unwanted competition. -Although it is absurd, hateful and even criminal, the rhetoric of the National Front has long appealed to more than one in four French people according to the opinion polls (2). On 21 April it gained the electoral approval of millions (30% of the unemployed, 24% of workers, 20% of young people and 17% of employers). -The Republican awakening expressed in street demonstrations all over France translated into anti-Le Pen votes on 5 May. Neo-fascism will not be voted in during the parliamentary elections in June either. But once the moment of fear has passed, if the parties carry on as before, with privatisation, dismantling public services, creating pension funds and accepting sackings to keep shareholders happy, if they continue to deny people’s desires for a society that is fairer, more fraternal, more based on solidarity — then there is no guarantee that fascism, in alliance with the usual collaborators, will not win next time. -(1) Libération, 20 March 1998. -(2) Le Monde, 13 April 1996. -I love the summer bounty! The fresh vegetables and fruit are so colorful and succulent, who can resist eating these vibrant beauties? Our bodies thrive on raw plant-based foods. I think this is why our creator made fruits and vegetables look soo enticing! Asking yourself “How can I get this more of these beauties into my diet?” Then follow me over the next few weeks because I will be preparing raw plant-based recipes. Summer is the best time to set started – you’ll beat the heat (in and out of the kitchen) and eat seasonally at the same time! -This beautiful summer salad will brighten up any meal. Great with peaches or try cherries, nectarines or plums! -Over the years, I have been trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet and here’s why: I want to stay feeling and looking young, and free of disease. Plant-based foods are the best sources of disease-fighting antioxidants, inflammation-fighting polyphenols, and a host of nourishing vitamins and minerals and I want to load my body up with that protective goodness! -But a completely raw diet can be complicated and expensive. And I am a busy, working mom who’s a foodie, to boot. My goal is to find ways to easily prepare and enjoy more live raw food as a way of adding more healing nourishment into my diet. You don’t have to eat 100% raw to feel the energizing benefits. But it does take a shift in how and what foods you prepare. All you need is a little know-how to get started. Here are the steps that I took to get started. -It’s tempting to make a drastic dietary change because we just want to feel better NOW. I commend your enthusiasm but remember, it is better to start small and follow through, then go big and get overwhelmed and give up. Choose one thing and stick with it. Try adding a green smoothie to your morning routine or swapping out your regular lunch for a big, raw salad. Once you’ve made this first step a part of your routine, add something else. These little steps will lead to big health changes over time. -When starting a new way of eating, it’s common to focus on what you are losing. Instead, concentrate on what power foods you can add to enhance the nutritional value of each meal. Eating more plant-based foods may encourage you to experiment with different cuisines, along with new herbs and spices. Yum, yum! Don’t worry about what you’ll need to give up. Focus on what you’re gaining: flavor, nutrition and energy. -No need to over-complicate and feel stressed out! Start by sticking to the basics: smoothies, soups, salads, slaws. Over time, you will expand your collection of delicious, healthful, amazing raw plant-based recipes. -Find a day that works for you and take 30-40 minutes to prepare your fruits and veggies for the week ahead. Grate veggies (carrots, radishes, zucchini) for salads. Cut and freeze fruit for smoothies. Make staples to keep on hand (salad dressings, hummus, cooked grains). A little work today will help you make healthier choices all week long! -Ideally, every Sunday you have all of your meals planned and veggies prepped. Sound too hard? Start by planning two or three recipes for the week. I like to keep a folder of “recipes to try” in my kitchen for inspiration. Save time with leftovers and always keep raw snacks like nuts and apples with you. A little planning does the trick! -Here is a salad to get you started: it can be used for a side at dinner or bring it the next day for lunch by adding it to a wrap with hummus. It will keep nicely and actually tastes better the next day! -So try adding some raw, plant-based dishes to your meal plan this week! I’ll be back next week with some more ideas and delicious recipes to help you moving forward towards a healthier, plant-based, deliciously raw table! -This dog brooch pin is made with polymer clay, painted, and sealed with varnish for protection.

One of the most complex issues is the division of assets and property. Utah law requires the distribution to be equitable. In many divorce cases, both parties are unable to agree how to divide property and assets. It can often create an acrimonious situation. An experienced and knowledgeable Salt Lake City divorce lawyer can often make the difference between getting the settlement you deserve to losing everything you have rightfully earned. -In most Utah divorces, there are three major assets that are usually involved–the home, personal property and retirement plans/investments. Here is a brief rundown on how Utah courts determine equitable asset and property division. -Home & Property: Many of the most heated divorce cases in Salt Lake City involve which party is entitled to receive the home. The court can use several different methods of determination. Here are the most common depending on the circumstances of each case. First, the court may order the house to be sold and equity divided among the two parties. The court may also allow one party to buy out the other person’s interest in the real property. Another common ruling is to have the property awarded to one party and the remaining assets of equal value given to the other. -Personal Property: Personal property is classified as the ownership of any material possessions that can be moved. It includes cars, furniture, and clothing. While most people do not share clothes, the determination of vehicles and furniture can sometimes become complex–especially if they are co-owned by each party. Utah courts place a priority on dividing personal property equitably. -Retirement Plans & Investments: The division of retirement and investment accounts can sometimes get complicated under Utah family law. If only one party has a pension or retirement plan, in most cases the other party is entitled to half of the amount earned during the time of the marriage. Any money earned before the marriage will not be divided. If both parties have their names on investment or retirement plans, the court can rule either two ways. Both individuals can retain the full value of their own plans or the court will order an equitable distribution of all accounts. -In a perfect world, divorcing couples can agree to divide assets and property on their own. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. But there are some solutions to come up with a reasonable agreement. One viable option is mediation. Many Salt Lake City divorce attorneys offer mediation services to help couples find common ground on some of the most difficult family law issues. Under Utah family law, both parties are required to undergo at least one mediation session to attempt to resolve their differences. A mediator is an independent arbitrator who can listen to both sides explain their issues and concerns. It is often a less stressful alternative to court is also far less expensive than going through the conventional divorce process. -To learn more about your options concerning the division of assets and property, contact Salt Lake City divorce attorney Emy A.

The New York Islanders will be the second seed in the Metro and will have to square off against the Pittsburgh Penguins. In the Atlantic Division, the Columbus Blue Jackets end up with a tough match-up as they will face the Tampa Bay Lightning, while the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs will meet once again, as everyone has known about for quite some time. The final results of the night will determine how the Western Conference Shakes out. -The Colorado Avalanche’s Mikko Rantanen was spotted on the ice Saturday in San Jose wearing a non-contact jersey, according to The Athletic’s Ryan S. Clark. The injured forward, who hasn’t seen action since March 21st with an undisclosed injury, traveled with the team but will sit out once again. While that doesn’t sound like great news, considering the playoffs are right around the corner it is better to have him skating than not. If Colorado has any chance of advancing out of the first round, they will need their young scorer. The 22-year-old will have played eight less games than last year, but has a career high 31 goals and 87 points in his sophomore season. Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said later today that he is hopeful that Rantanen will be available for the playoffs, according to BSN’s Adrian Dater. -Speaking of injuries, the Pittsburgh Penguins got some good news as defenseman Brian Dumoulin skated on his own after missing the past three games with a lower-body injury, according to Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Dumoulin, who normally skates alongside Kris Letang, would make a big impact on a lineup that is preparing for the playoffs and could use the player tied for fifth in the NHL with a +31 rating. “The fact that Dumo is on the ice is really encouraging from our standpoint,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. He added that the injury isn’t considered major and Doumolin remains day-to-day. -The St. Louis Blues expect to get back defenseman Colton Parayko, who has sat out the past two games with an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old defender is expected to play in the playoffs, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Jim Thomas. Thomas added that Tyler Bozak was just held out for precautionary reasons Saturday after he was in a car accident getting to the game. The veteran center was rear-ended, but wasn’t seriously hurt. He too is expected back for the playoff opener. -As the Blackhawks pass through another disappointing season, the team must continue to focus on development. The team has a nice group of prospects coming up the pipeline, but there are many that are starting to worry about whether the Blackhawks are doing the right thing with defenseman Henri Jokiharju, their 2017 first-rounder. -The Blackhawks, not known for developing defensemen recently, loaned Jokiharju out to Finland for the World Junior Championships, against the youngster’s wishes even though they eventually won the gold medal. Since his return, the team has changed course in his development, moving him over to the left side, his off-side which will help make room next season for right-hand shot Adam Boqvist, and has had his ice-time cut, according to The Athletic’s Scott Powers (subscription required). He even was a healthy scratch recently. -Head coach Jeremy Colliton said the changes are being made to make sure the youngster won’t burn out like many rookies do during their first season. -The Colorado Avalanche suffered a key loss Saturday as the team will be without defenseman Erik Johnson, who suffered a concussion during their game against Los Angeles. The veteran defenseman is expected to be out for the next two games and head coach Jared Bednar hopes he’ll be back after the All-Star break, according to The Athletic’s Ryan S. Clark. The defensive-minded blueliner averages 21:42 of ATOI and is a key figure on the team’s defense. -The Avalanche also had good news in practice as defensive prospect Conor Timmins, who has missed all of the 2018-19 season so far with a concussion, practiced today with the team even if it was in a non-contact jersey, according to BSN’s AJ Haefele. Bednar said after the practice that Timmins will begin ramping up activities over the next couple of weeks and they will see if he’s ready to go when the team returns after the All-Star break. Timmins, the team’s second-round pick in 2017, could help the team down the stretch if he’s deemed ready. -Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun looks back at the first half of the season now that the team hits their bye and All-Star week, suggesting that while many things have gone right for the Jets, perhaps the most disappointing part of the season has been the play of star forward Patrik Laine. The scribe writes that the third-year winger is having a miserable season despite having 25 goals at this point. Despite an 18-goal November, Laine has tallied just seven goals combined in the other three months and often looks like a rookie on the ice. Of course, he’s only 20 years old still, so patience is needed. -After struggling for much of the season and recently seeing his ice time dwindle, Tyson Jost is headed back to the AHL. The Colorado Avalanche today assigned Jost and Ryan Graves to the Colorado Eagles, giving them just 21 players on the roster. -Jost, 20, was the tenth overall pick in 2016 but has yet to really establish himself in the NHL. After a great freshmen season at the University of North Dakota, the offensive center signed his entry-level contract and made his debut down the stretch for the Avalanche. Last year he returned to the lineup full-time and recorded 22 points in 65 games, but has failed to really take a step forward in 2018-19. Jost hasn’t been asked to play center on a regular basis this season given his struggles in the faceoff circle, and it’s not clear exactly where he fits into the lineup in a perfect scenario. -That fit will have to be determined through his play in the minor leagues, as the young forward was clearly not progressing in the NHL. In 43 games he has just 15 points, despite being given ample opportunities on the powerplay for much of the year. Given that he does not penalty kill and is seeing fewer than ten minutes of even-strength ice time in recent weeks, playing in a top-six role for the Eagles is probably the best for his development. Jost can obviously be recalled at a moment’s notice given the proximity of the AHL team, and currently does not require waivers. -Graves meanwhile could be back up before the Avalanche hit the ice on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings, but he too had been used extremely sparingly by head coach Jared Bednar during his time in the NHL. The 23-year old defenseman has logged fewer than 12 minutes of ice time in each of his eight appearances, though he does have two goals already to show for his short NHL career. -Poll: Should Colorado Move Semyon Varlamov? -The Colorado Avalanche returned third-string goalie Pavel Francouz to the AHL today. Yet, at this point in their season, it is fair to ask whether that move actually makes the team better. The Avs finally snapped a six-game win-less streak on Friday night against the New York Rangers and have fallen out of the once-competitive Central Division race over the past month. Colorado’s struggles are not singular in nature – a lack of secondary scoring and a struggling penalty kill have played a part – but poor performance in net has been the most pressing issue facing the team. After a hot start to the season, Semyon Varlamov has regressed to a .912 save percentage and 2.80 GAA and has missed the team’s past two games with a lower-body injury. Off-season acquisition Philipp Grubauer has yet to settle in with Colorado, holding a career-worst .902 save percentage and 3.13 GAA thus far. -Considering that Varlamov’s play is not currently winning games for the Avalanche, the team could opt to move on from the veteran keeper. Despite Varlamov’s recent slump, the impending unrestricted free agent would still be a valued name on the trade market as the NHL Trade Deadline grows closer. Several teams will be looking for a rental for the stretch run and postseason and Varlamov could potentially be the closest thing to a bona fide starter that could hit the market. Why then would the playoff-bound Avalanche want to move Varlamov if he’s still a top NHL option? The return would be substantial and could – either directly or by flipping part of the return – result in Colorado adding the forward depth they so desperately need. It was recently reported that the Avs are hesitant to move their top prospects and young roster players for help, which could force them to move an established veteran like Varlamov. -The Avalanche could benefit from some addition by subtraction when it comes to Varlamov as well. The aforementioned Francouz, in his first season in North America after an illustrious European career, has made the transition look easy this season. Recently named an AHL All-Star, Francouz, 28, has a .919 save percentage and 2.65 GAA through 23 games with the Colorado Eagles. Perhaps more impressively, Francouz has made two NHL relief appearances and has saved 33 of the 35 shots that he faced (.943 SV%). The Denver Post’s Sean Keeler writes that head coach Jared Bednar considered making Francouz the starter over Grubauer last night and opined that the current third-string could be the X-factor for the Avs this season. Francouz is also an impending UFA and the team should take a longer look at him this season to determine if he could be a long-term option alongside Gruabauer. An extended stay in Denver this season would certainly help convince Francouz to stick around as well. -Of course, if the Avalanche were to trade Varlamov this season, it would very likely hurt their chances at a Stanley Cup title. Despite his struggles, Varlamov has outplayed Grubauer and has years of success to fall back on, as opposed to his young backup and Francouz, an unproven import. Colorado would likely have to turn around and add another option in net if they were to trade Varlamov. However, given that the Avs face a probable playoff route through the Nashville Predators and Winnipeg Jets this season, it could be that they favor improving the team for the future rather than clinging to slim title chances. The team could also feel that addressing their needs at forward is a priority compared to maintaining depth in net. -What do you think? Should the Avalanche change things up by trading Varlamov for young pieces or forward help and hand the reins to Grubauer and Francouz? Or should they hold on to their established starter in hopes that it is their best chance at a Cup run this season? -The Colorado Avalanche announced they have recalled goaltender Pavel Francouz from the Colorado Eagles of the AHL. Head coach Jared Bednar said that Semyon Varlamov was a little banged up and Francouz was recalled as a precaution. The 28-year-old was up earlier this month and was impressive in a relief stint on Dec. 22 when he saved 21 of 22 shots against Arizona in 29 minutes of work. Francouz, who signed as a free agent with Colorado in the offseason out of the KHL has performed well in the AHL as well, posting a 13-7-1 record and a .919 save percentage. With Varlamov expected to hit free agency at the end of the season, Francouz could be a strong candidate to fill the backup role next season. -The Carolina Hurricanes have assigned forward Janne Kuokkanen to the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL, according to CapFriendly. The 20-year-old prospect has had trouble finding a positive role with the Hurricanes, despite being dominant in the AHL. Kuokkanen has yet to score in seven games and has seen his playing time dwindle to under 10 minutes in the past three games. He will return to Charlotte where he has already equaled his goal output from last year and can continue working on his game. The team followed that up announcing the promotion of Saku Maenalanen from Charlotte to fill Kuokkanen’s shoes. Maenalanen has appeared in just one game for the Hurricanes, but has scored seven goals and 14 points in 31 games for the Checkers. -While it’s already been reported that the Chicago Blackhawks’ recent trade acquisition Jason Garrison cleared waivers earlier today, NBC Sports Charlie Roumeliotis reports that Blackhawks’ general manager Stan Bowman said Garrison will be assigned to the Rockford Ice Hogs of the AHL. Garrison, picked up in Sunday’s trade with Drake Caggulia for Brandon Manning, has played in 17 games with the Oilers this year. He did play 58 games with the Chicago Wolves last season when playing for the Vegas franchise. -After two years in the Swiss League, former NHLer Bobby Sanguinetti has returned to North America, as the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL announced they have signed the 30-year-old veteran to an AHL deal. The defenseman, who played 45 games with the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes, played with the Checkers for three years before spending the last two years in Switzerland. Sanguinetti, a former first-round pick in 2006, will hope to resurrect his career there. -The Nashville Predators announced they have assigned Nicholas Baptiste to the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL. The team recalled him Monday to serve as an emergency player for their game against Washington, but now have returned the 23-year-old without getting him into a game. Baptiste has played 34 games for Milwaukee and has six goals and 14 points. -The Minnesota Wild have recalled defenseman Ryan Murphy from AHL Iowa per a team release. This will be the 25-year-old’s first stint in the NHL this season but he has 172 games of NHL experience between Carolina and Minnesota over the past six seasons. Murphy has played in 27 games in the minors this season with three goals and 10 assists. -The Colorado Avalanche went out of its way to bring in goaltender Philipp Grubauer via trade during the offseason to be their heir apparent in goal, but with Semyon Varlamov playing well throughout this season, Grubauer hasn’t had much of a chance to claim that role. However, that might be changing. -With the team having lost five of their last seven games and Varlamov struggling, the team got a brilliant performance from Grubauer on Tuesday as he saved 35 shots in a 2-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens. After that performance, The Athletic’s Ryan S. Clark (subscription required) wonders if this is the turning point where Grubauer takes over as the team’s No. 1 goaltender. With Varlamov slated to hit unrestricted free agency this summer, the team needs for Grubauer to take that next step and that looks to be the case. In the last six starts (not including Friday’s 2-1 loss to Chicago), the 27-year-old is 5-0-1 with a 2.29 GAA and a .936 save percentage. -“(Grubauer) gives us a chance. He gives us a real good chance,” head coach Jared Bednar said. “He keeps it at 1-0 and guys are saying the right things on the bench. … I just felt like he looked really solid in the net. Like he was in control tonight. I haven’t felt that way about our goaltending for the last little bit and that’s what we need. -The Athletic’s Scott Powers (subscription required) writes that when winger Brendan Perlini was traded from the Arizona Coyotes to Chicago Blackhawks, he had high hopes that a change of scenery would jumpstart his career as he has struggled to put up points. However, while the Blackhawks liked what they have seen from center Dylan Strome, Perlini quickly found himself on the team’s fourth line and even found himself a healthy scratch early on. “To be honest, you never like to sit, but it’s good because I can watch the game and say, OK, here’s certain spots where maybe I can get the puck or things like that or realize watching I can settle down there, there’s a lot more time than I actually think. Like I said, you never like watching, but you can take good things from it. I think I’ve done that and just try to build off it and learn every day.” Perlini since then has looked much more comfortable and has picked up a couple of goals in the past four games. The hope is he continues to make adjustments in Chicago’s lineup. -Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun writes that with the impressive play shown by Winnipeg Jets’ goaltender Laurent Brossoit can be attributed back to last year when the back-up lost his job in Edmonton to Al Montoya and he found himself in the AHL for the remainder of the season. That experience made him work harder to get back to the NHL. “Now I’m more aware of who I am as a goalie and as a professional, if that makes any sense,” said Brossoit. “It was unfortunate I had to go through those growing pains during my biggest opportunity with that club. I wouldn’t say that I performed at the level I normally do.” Brossoit was offered to return to Edmonton, but instead opted to start fresh in Winnipeg. -The NHL has issued a $2,000 fine to Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen, citing two instances in which he broke Rule 64 for Diving/Embellishment this season. Fines will increase for Rantanen for any subsequent instances, and eventually include financial punishment to head coach Jared Bednar as well. The first incident, which garnered just a warning, was on October 16th against the New York Rangers, while the latest was during a November 14th game against the Boston Bruins. -Rantanen has been one of the league’s brightest stars this season and still leads the entire NHL in scoring with 32 points. His play alongside Nathan MacKinnon has been a revelation, and has the Avalanche poised to become one of the league’s most dangerous offensive teams. Unfortunately with this history, he’ll now be watched even more closely by the officials and may not get the benefit of the doubt on close calls. He also could very well draw the ire of his coaching staff if he causes them to be fined, or costs his team with an ill-timed penalty. -With a dominant top line that includes Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen, the Colorado Avalanche can’t be happier as they have combined for 75 points so far this season. However, the biggest concern for the team has been their secondary scoring, which most recently seems to have improved when the team re-inserted center Tyson Jost together with wingers Alex Kerfoot and Colin Wilson, according to Kyle Newman of the Denver Post. -Jost had spent some time with that line earlier this year, but between a demotion to the team’s fourth line and an injury that kept him out for four games, Jost finally got a chance to center the two wingers and has made the most of his opportunity with a pair of goals in the past week as well as improved play from both Wilson and Kerfoot. -A special indicator instead of aquarium water permits direct measurement of the CO2 level in mg/L. -20-25 mg/L CO2 is ideal. -Replace the indicator only 3-4 weeks = lasts a total of 9-12 months.

Some of the topics studied include courts, family violence, rights, substance abuse, juvenile justice, school law, children as witnesses, hate crimes, and community policing.

Should you use a rhizobium inoculant? Or, is there enough of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria, Bradyrhizobia japonicum, remaining in the soil? -True, rhizobial bacteria don’t survive wet conditions very well. But whether it will pay to use an inoculant depends largely on whether soybeans were grown in the field sometime during the last five years or if the field has been flooded for more than a week, says Aaron Saeugling, Iowa State University Extension field agronomist in southwest Iowa. -The presence of rhizobia in the soil is necessary for a legume such as soybeans to be able to convert nitrogen from the atmosphere into a form usable by the plant, he says. This process, nitrogen fixation, is critical for producing high soybean yields. For nitrogen fixation to occur, the nitrogen-fixing bacteria need to be readily available in the soil or must be applied to the seed. -When soybean seed germinates, the rhizobia bacteria invade the root hairs of the seedling and begin to multiply. Nodules, the structures that house the bacteria, form on the roots. Under field conditions, nodule formation can be seen shortly after emergence, but active nodule fixation of N from the air doesn’t begin until about the V2 to V3 growth stage of beans. After that point, the number of nodules formed and amount of nitrogen fixed increase with time until about midway between the R5 and R6 growth stages; then N fixation decreases sharply. -Applying nitrogen fertilizer for soybeans isn’t recommended because it typically doesn’t increase bean yields in Iowa production systems. The total number of nodules that form decreases with increasing amounts of applied N. -Today, most fields in the Midwest have had soybeans grown on them in the crop rotation, likely increasing population density of Bradyrhizobia bacteria in the soil, notes Saeugling. Improved inoculant technology, coupled with higher commodity prices, ease of application and relatively low-cost inoculant products, have many growers reconsidering the use of inoculants. -Since 2003, ISU agronomists have conducted trials each year to assess new inoculants on the market. Overall, the ISU studies haven’t shown a consistent yield response to use of soybean inoculants in fields in Iowa with a history of having soybeans grown on them. -Current recommendations for Iowa are to inoculate the seed if a field has never been planted to soybeans, or if beans haven’t been grown in the field for the past three to five years. Other situations where it’s recommended to inoculate are if soil pH is below 6.0, or if a field has sandy soil, or if a field has been flooded for more than a week, creating anaerobic conditions. -Rising cost of production and volatile commodity prices are driving the need for soybean growers to improve profits. But the use of inoculants to increase yield may not be the answer, especially if beans have been grown in the field recently. In fact, using inoculants on soybeans without an active on-farm testing program could be costing you money. But if a field hasn’t produced soybeans in the past three to five years or has never produced soybeans, an inoculant is needed for nitrogen fixation to occur. -BELIEVE IT OR NOT...

Al RAMIREZ" at Work! -He also paints (not great, but don't tell him that). -He likes to walk around like he's the boss because he "created the Idea", "The first ever Street Art Tour Guide in Chile", and "everyone copies him"... but no one here is trying to hear it. -If he gives you a tour, act like you liked it (nod and chuckle, while looking away)... then come back and take a real tour with the other guides. -A comedian once said "this world we live in is unbelieveable! I went in to rob a liquor store and when I came out someone had stolen my car!" -That car thief could very well be Jake1 (see the pic/evidence above). -He's the type of person who would boil a Frappucino/Iced Coffee just to rebel against the system. -We've seen him go into a vegan restaurant, and ask for a lamb chop. Come on, Joaquin. This needs to stop. -This is El Seba or Sebastian. Just look at the picture and the bio will speak for itself. -He is the one who gets yelled at the most at the office, and asks waaaay too many questions. We dislike him. Very much. -He's the type of person who will be telling a story, such as, "So, I told the stupid police officer not to dare talk to me like that", and the police officer will be standing behind him without him knowing it. Then he'll spend the night in jail, and come out the next morning only to pee in the street and get thrown back in within minutes. -Eddie is a comic book nerd, and a lover of Japanese culture. He is also a graff writer who goes under the name Rone, which comes from "Ronin" -- we looked up the word and it means Wanderer... and that's exactly where his mind is, wandering away from this planet. Don't be surprised if he starts talking about R2 D2 on the tour.

You all make this possible. -The Hawaii man who was fired after issuing the false ballistic missile alert in mid-January told reporters Friday that he was very upset over the incident but remained adamant that it appeared, at the time, to be a real-life attack. -The former state employee – a man in his 50s who asked to remain anonymous for his safety – said that he was “100 percent sure” that the drill on Jan. 13 was real, even though several other employees heard the word “exercise” repeated throughout the message, according to officials. -Once the man realized what had happened, he said he felt like he’d sustained a “body blow.” Since then, he’s reportedly been distressed to the point that he has had trouble eating and sleeping. -During a news conference on Tuesday, investigating officer Brig. Gen. Bruce Oliveira shared details of the state’s probe and said when the mistake was realized, the employee “froze” and “seemed confused.” Another employee had to resume his duties and send a correction message, Oliveira said. -The employee also reportedly had at least two previous incidents in which he mistook drills for real-world events, including for tsunami and fire warnings. But Oliveira said the employee was previously counseled and allowed to resume his duties. -Following the event, the employee was fired and Vern Miyagi, who oversaw the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, took responsibility and resigned. -Toby Clairmont, the agency’s executive officer, also resigned before disciplinary action could be taken, and authorities are in the process of suspending another worker without pay. -By 8:20 a.m., Hawaii EMA tweeted there was “NO missile threat” to the state, but failed to send a phone alert for another 38 minutes, causing mass panic among people who weren’t able to check social media. -Shania Twain expected to break the charts with new album NOW! -Even after a 15-year hiatus, she’s still the one!

The Timmins native hopped on Twitter on Wednesday to announce that her album is already platinum in Canada! -Shortly after the release of the lead single “Life’s About to Get Good,” it hit number one on the Billboard 200.

Tickets to see the Canadian musician are on sale now. -George Wales visits The Good Earth Chinese Restaurant in Wandsworth Common. -Situated next to the picturesque expanse of Wandsworth Common, Bellevue Road is already well known to those of a foodie inclination, having been home to Michelin-starred French restaurant Chez Bruce for the best part of 20 years. -However, it would seem that Bruce Poole’s celebrated brasserie is not the only gastro-string to the area’s bow, with newcomer The Good Earth serving up excellent Chinese food just two minutes up the road. -A family-run establishment, it is the latest opening in a group of London-based eateries under the Good Earth banner, with another restaurant in Knightsbridge and a number of take-away outlets dotted around South West London. However, this is a significant cut above your average chain restaurant. -Having been seated in a sleek, modern dining room, all polished wood and crisp white tablecloths, we opted for two set dinners, assured by the helpful Maître D’ that the fixed price menu was made up of the restaurant’s finest dishes. -A selection of starters was dominated by a pair of eye-catching Dragon’s Whisker Prawns, succulent king prawns encased in a cocoon of fine shredded pastry. Another highlight was a portion of Honey-Glazed Ribs, a sticky treat, the meat falling pleasingly away from the bone. -Next up was that traditional takeaway staple, Aromatic Duck, served with the obligatory pancakes, hoisin sauce and spring onions. Done well, it’s a thing of beauty, and happily, The Good Earth does it very well indeed, the duck beautifully tender, its skin crisp and tacky. Delicious. -Finally, the mains. Chicken with Cashew nuts was another traditional dish done well, but Fillet of Beef in Claypot was the star performer, arriving still sizzling at the table, the flavour of the meat more than living up to the spectacle. -At just under £40 per person, without wine, this Chinese banquet comes in a shade more expensive than your typical neighbourhood restaurant, but given the quality (and quantity) of the food on offer, it’s well worth the extra outlay. -If you are looking for another reason to check out the area, visit The Ship pub in Wandsworth, which is ideal for summer drinks on the large terrace. -Far Left Van Jones Admits that Trump Can Win and Gives Major Warning to Democrats - Video - Stumpin' For Trump! -CNN contributor and former Obama aide Van Jones put out a warning to his fellow Democrats on Friday: Donald Trump is probably going to win the White House. -In the Facebook video, Jones credited Trump’s ability to understand and use social media and reality television as well as his appeal to black voters as reasons he will likely win the White House in November. -Jones likened Trump to Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama in the sense that they all excelled in a new medium that no other politician could easily master. -“Just like FDR changed the rules of the game because he mastered radio, he was able to take radio and just completely master that — then you had JFK and JFK was able to master television — new medium, new master, new president,” Jones said. -He continued to detail how Trump has been able to use his celebrity to appeal to parts of the Democratic base, especially black voters. -“If only 70 percent don’t like Donald Trump, that means 30 percent are open to his argument, if he gets half of those, he’s president,” Jones said. -A Public Policy Polling report released on Monday showed Jones might be correct in his opinion that Trump is winning over large segments of the Democratic Party’s most loyal voting bloc. The poll showed that in the swing state of Ohio, Trump would garner 15 percent of the African American vote against Clinton, with another 11 percent undecided. -That is huge increase from the 4 percent of the black vote Mitt Romney received in Ohio during the last presidential election. -Well, well, well, even the ex-Obama-Czar-self-proclaimed communist understands and sees how Trump can win and be our next President! Wow! I’m a bit impressed, but I wouldn’t trust Van Jones with a lollipop either! Trump is pulling in some of the more modest democrats over to vote for him, and with the help of these two infamous Internet sensations, Diamond and Silk, created a place for them to do just that, called “Ditch and Switch”, for anyone who either voted democrat all these horrible years and now sees the “light” in voting Trump, or whom never voted before and wants to sign up as soon as possible to exercise their constitutional right to vote, they can go to Diamond and Silk’s website, and sign up. They can help direct you to the right place. Thanks, Van Jones, for your analysis of a Trump win, and he can do this, if every ethnic group would just open their eyes to see what the last 7 years have really done to them; not for the “freebies” they get, for as long as they are listed poor, they can get the freebies, but is that what you really want? Just the freebies that this administration “gives” you? And where do you think that money comes from? Thin air? The upper clouds? Take heed, people, realize, that in history, in other parts of the world, where “freebies” were a given because the people were poor and destitute, they were “controlled” by that government as long as they did the government’s bidding, they got the freebies, so they just didn’t work or even try looking. Then the government puts them to work, moves them to high rise buildings, stuffs other families with them in small apartments, and makes them go to work in plants, day in day out, but they get free housing, free food (which is rationed out periodically), and free stuff, but then it gets pulled because the government can’t afford any more free stuff (phones, ipads, ect.). Take heed, this has happened, and it can happen again. Trump will get you back to a job you want and be proud of working because he’ll limit the regulations of businesses who hire workers who want to work, and not hire out to foreigners either. You deserve a job, you’ll get a job. Get off the freebie stuff because it’s not going to last you a lifetime. Socialism only lasts long enough before the gov’t runs out of money to sustain it. -Commentary: Are polls underestimating Trump’s support? -It’s the Capital’s first 24-hour Television Channel and it is on air! -London Live says during its broadcasts it will be offering fresh and new content devoted exclusively to an estimated 9 million diverse viewers. -However, its the 18 – 34 age group it is targeting. It hopes they will pick up their remote controls, press 8 on Freeview, 117 on Sky or 159 on Virgin to view their new channel. -The new 24 hour TV channel promises it will be smart, fun and “inside London” making a big difference to Londoners lives. It is backed by the Russian owner of the Evening Standard and The Independent, Evgeny Lebedev. He believes it will succeed even though previous attempts failed. -London Live won a licence last year. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport awarded 19 new local TV channels at the same time. -Some critics have no doubt that London Live will fit in with the TV landscape but there’s lots of competition out there for people’s attention. But there are some who believe that local TV broadcast through the television screen is not going to have a long life. -But I’m afraid that in the end it’s going to be about advertising and sponsor revenue and not the current BBC model – if they DO NOT get to the correct target market for the London area then when their ‘free funding’ dries up they will then be out in the real World???? -Well, unless the Russian puts his own money in there of course, otherwise it could be history repeating itself??? -Already you can see the presenters have lost some of their ‘happy ‘ style. Many of them are looking tired and overworked. -But what is unfortunate about its output is that it cuts off everyone over 34 years of age. -Is downloading from torrent sites illegal in the USA?

Baalbaki has no work of his own in this show. -Born in Safad, northern Palestine, around 1888-1890, Abbo was a farmer and fisherman who later took up carpentry and stone masonry. It was not until he moved to Berlin in 1911 to study sculpture that his artistic career took shape. -Baalbaki has spent the last four years finding, and determining attribution for, 70 artworks and 100 texts mentioning the artist. -Baalbaki says many of Abbo's sculptures didn't survive World War I. He believes those that were originally exhibited in museums in Germany were taken during the war and melted down to make weapons. -Alongside Abbo's artworks are vintage photos of places he'd been or postcards from that time period, which Baalbaki says is to give an overall look at the life he led, in today's age of media and imagery. -Baalbaki intends to continue his research and tracking down Abbo's works. -By Cecile Green and Rebecca Fisher-McGinty, republished and edited from Round Sky Solutions blog. -Enlivening Edge Magazine has republished Part 2 of this article here. -So many of us have experienced bad meetings ranging from mildly frustrating to intolerable! In fact, bad meetings are so common, it’s easy to assume they are an inevitable part of the status quo. If you have a small business, a nonprofit, board meetings, organizing meetings, a worker cooperative, or are interested in democratic or teal workplaces, you likely have to participate in meetings that drive you nuts for a variety of reasons. If so, you are in the right place, we wrote this post for you! In Part 1, we’re going to focus on some of the things that come up during these meetings and then part 2, we’ll share some solutions. -People getting offended and defensive. -People being accusatory and snide. -People disengaging during the meetings and at all times. -Updates that go on forever and are not helpful. -A few people that have too much responsibility. -Only a few people doing all the talking. -Well intentioned people delivering inconsistent accountability. -Agenda items that only reflect the needs of a few. -Agenda items that take way too long and don’t lead to meaningful outcomes that move things forward. -Meetings with no clear ending that drag on for hours. -Since bad meeting culture is so endemic it’s easy to think that it’s normal or unavoidable and I’m here to tell you that while it may be normal, meaning that it happens all the time in all kinds of organizations, it’s not healthy and it is entirely avoidable! -Saps organizational energy and focus. There’s nothing like an argument in the middle of a meeting for making everything worse. -Wastes time. Meetings are the most efficient way to sync up and align. When they are wasted with no clear decisions or next actions, people still have to obtain that information or risk doing bad or useless work. The work of obtaining that information outside of meetings represents a waste of time. -Sense of being stuck increases. It leaves people feeling powerless and frustrated leading to disengagement. -Underscores the sense of being overworked and underappreciated. When we don’t have good mechanisms for redistributing work because we can’t really see what other people are doing or not doing, it’s easy for people to feel unseen and unappreciated for their work. -Makes it harder to address important issues and get good work done. When meetings are wasted on conversations that go on way past any point of usefulness for the organization, the time we have to discuss and decide on important issues dwindles. -Getting to facilitating effective, collaborative meetings can be challenging but is well worth the effort. Imagine what it might be like for you to have a organization full of inspiring leaders, with tools that enable you to hack your meetings into flows and effective outcomes? Well, for one thing, improving your meetings will save you time and energy and open up the space for everyone on the team to be more of their full selves, which simply feels better, and frankly gets better results. -With a generative meeting culture, here are a few things you can look forward to, including what some of our clients and students have shared about our work! -Engaging and efficient collaboratively-led meetings. The power of joy and fulfillment that comes from productive efficient meetings goes on to infuse all of the work we do with that same motivating force, bringing much more meaning and productivity to everything that we do. -Working together productively with flow and satisfaction. Collaborating with others can be profoundly frustrating, and that frustration is a drain on both the organization and the individual. Getting to flow and satisfaction produces a host of benefits including longevity, in other words, people sticking around to contribute to an organization’s success. -Not getting stuck on issues. The feeling of being stuck in one’s work with others is corrosive, especially if it’s a consistent feature of meetings. Being able to move forward even on difficult issues is like opening the windows in a stale room and letting the light and air in. -Better innovation and problem solving. Working together is all about facing challenges and surmounting them with each other. Being equipped to do so efficiently, creatively, and innovatively is critical to organizational success in the complex and constantly changing business environments that we all find ourselves in today. -Mutual support & accountability. One of the biggest challenges of collaborative work environments where we are explicitly sharing power is accountability, both how we support each other in getting our work done, and how we hold each other accountable in the process. -A real distribution of power and voice. This one is huge! If you really want to get innovating and feel some meaningful engagement from your team, try giving them real power. -And the best part about learning all this is that you are going to be able to use these skills over and over again in all kinds of different contexts. It’s like you’ll have cracked the collaboration code and have super powers for enabling people to get along and do better work together. -Stay tuned for part 2 that will include 4 hacks and tangible tools to make your teal and democratically led meetings more effective and engaging. -Do you resonate with the challenges of collaborative meetings?

It's the day after Christmas Day and stores have massive sales to help get rid of any post Christmas stock. While it's been a huge event for our department stores for many years, online shopping has made grabbing a bargain much easier (with the added benefit of not having to battle people for the last gift box!). -Adelaide has no Mecca Maxima stores, so I had to order the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette from Mecca online. While this has been available for a while in the US, it was only released on Boxing Day here. -I'm IN LOVE with this palette. I feel like it was made for me. I know a lot of people have said there's not much in the way of colour selection, but for someone pale it's the perfect palette. -It retails for $95 here in Australia so it's pricier than the other palettes that UD sell, but you really see the amount of thought that went into both the palette and the packaging and shade names. -The packaging is gorgeous although it's quite heavy. I can't wait for the rest of the UD x Gwen collection to be released. -Lipstick Republic is an Australian online store that sells brands like Sigma, OCC, Lime Crime, Jeffrey Star, Morphe and more. They had 25% off so I put in an order for some products that were on my wishlist. -I have previously ordered a Benjabelle Brush Tree from them and I wanted to buy another one. I already have the Mini Brush Tree, which holds 24 eye brushes but I wanted to get a large brush tree that also holds large brushes. I decided on the Sunflower Brush Tree as it holds both small and large brushes. -I also ordered the spinner bottom as I don't have it on my other brush tree and I wanted to see if it was more helpful while washing my brushes. -I've never been one for Sigma brushes (youTubers pushing their code down my throat makes me side eye the company) but I received a mini E25 Blending Brush in a Bellabox previously and I really loved it, so I ordered a fullsize one from their copper line. I also ordered the Sigma E45 Small Tapered Blending Brush as you can never have enough blending brushes. I thought that this would be great for me as I have small eyes and some blending brushes are bigger than my eyes!! -And finally I ordered the Barely Cosmetics Definer Soft Sponge to apply my foundation. I like the shape of this. I haven't tried this yet. I can't wait to see how it compares to my beauty blender and RT sponge. -I love Soda & Co's Instagram page of their natural body products and lipbalms. Their packaging is super cute and I love their pictures. When I saw that they had 30% off, I decided to finally make an order. -Because I haven't tried their products before, I decided to buy a pack that includes a body wash, body lotion and a sugar scrub that's in an adorable cosmetics bag. -I struggled with which scent to choose from (pink lemonade, mint burst or orange splash) but finally decided on pink lemonade as I was worried that the others would smell like bathing in toothpaste or orange juice. -I've been using them and the body lotion is the stand out for me. It feels thick when I put it onto my skin but it seems to melt and sink into my skin quickly. The sugar scrub is also amazing for leaving my skin smooth and soft. While I like the body lotion, it's a more subtle scent than the lotion and scrub. -I hope that they eventually sell a vanilla or a lavender range as their 3 current scents are quite uplifting and I love using something relaxing at night. -Did you purchase anything in the Boxing Day sales? -Awesome Boxing Day haul! I didn't buy anything in the sales - trying to cut back!! I have the same brush tree and I love it!! I love my E25 minis but now I want to try the E45! -The brush tree is wonderful. It makes washing my brushes so much easier and less hectic. -I haven't touched the sales since I'm waiting on Priceline's 40% off skincare sale sometime this month. -I'm lusting after that same Benjabelle brush tree you bought! I own that same Sigma tapered blending brush (albeit with the silver ferrule & writing, not the copper) & if I'm honest, I don't like it. Whilst it feels soft at first, after you wash it it becomes scratchy...or at least that's what's happened to me. Not sure what I can do to get it soft again...maybe use some conditioner? -The brush tree is fantastic. I'd recommend it!! It makes cleaning your brushes a lot easier and less messy. -Ohh that's no good! What do you wash your brushes with? -I can't remember what I washed that one with at first, but normally I use a mild shampoo (Moogoo's one) to wash my brushes. I might've used that, but I'm not sure why it made the brush scratchy, unless I was using the wrong product for the type of brush that it is (I think it's synthetic hairs?). -Brush trees are so great, aren't they? I wouldn't mind trying that scrub. -Chronic Kidney Illness (CKD) is recognized by a decrease in Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) because of a lower in functioning of nephrons throughout the kidney and/or proteinuria additional to break down of the glomerular filtration buffer and incomplete tubular reabsorption.

It’s safe to say that the past year has certainly been filled with remarkable change. What did 2016 mean to you? Was it an end or a beginning? Did you experience triumph or tragedy? -If you’re like most, it was a mixture of both. Sometimes it’s hard to discern the difference. What some see as catastrophe, others view as a success. It really depends on your perspective. Of course, the New Year is always a good time to make a change for the better in your own life. -But be aware that most statistics show that only around 46 percent of resolutions continue past six months. At the same time, people who set a goal based on a resolution are 10 percent more likely to succeed than those who do not. -However you do it, in order to change your life for the better you have to get up and take the first step. And, sometimes attitude is everything where life changes are concerned. -You have to stay positive, dismiss the naysayers and keep motivated and moving forward. So, whether you start because of a resolution or just because you think now is a good time, your potential success or failure rests largely with your motivation. -Additionally, remember that you can’t force someone else to change either. If they want a different life, they have to take the steps toward that end. -For example, suppose Lisa is dating Mike and she’s having a tough time because he is addicted to role-playing games. Lisa wants to eventually marry Mike, but she cannot handle the gaming. -Lisa believes, however, that she can change him, help him to see the error of his ways. She believes that she can set a resolution to reform him with love – or a rolling pin (just kidding, she doesn’t bake – she actually uses a frying pan). -Mike is never going to change because someone else wants him to do so. If he wants to quit playing he will have to do it for his own reasons. I am certainly no psychologist, but I do know that for any New Year’s resolution to be successful, the desire to change has to come from within. -I may be wrong, but I think the motivation for change at the start of a new year comes from a deep desire in all of us for a fresh start. Most people want to strive for something better, no matter what our situation. Of course, there are still people out there who simply don’t care and are either complacent or resigned. -For some, the new year offers an opportunity to get “it” right – whatever your particular “it” happens to be at the time. In any case, it’s up to you to make those choices and follow through. If you don’t, you have no one to blame but yourself. -You can get things moving by creating a list of the things you want to accomplish in the coming year. For the record, I’d leave out a lottery jackpot and focus on more realistic expectations, like finishing your education or pursuing a career change. -Then figure out what it takes to reach those milestones and make a plan to get there (the “make a plan” part is pretty important). You will likely have a great deal of work to do and, for some at least, a long-term goal may require multiple short-term steps. Be patient, work hard and stay focused. -Incidentally, staying focused may indeed be the biggest challenge you face. The aforementioned plan is vital. Lay it out, be consistent, stick to it one step at a time, rather than trying to do everything all at once, and you can be successful. -A New Year’s resolution can be either a step towards improving your life or it can be a fruitless, frustrating endeavor that causes you stress and worry. It all depends on how committed you are to the kind of change you want in your life. However you do it, the choice rests with you. -Gery L. Deer is an independent columnist and business writer.

These accidents cause traffic congestion and can take hours to clear. When vehicles were first introduced not all could afford it. Further it was not considered as a worthy investment. Only a few people used it. Over time the demand and usefulness of vehicles began to show. This caused a huge demand which resulted in the world we live today. The moment we step out of our houses we see roads. Vehicles have become so important that we use more than half of the land for roads. This by itself shows the importance we place on vehicles and the affect it has on our daily lives. All of us use vehicles to travel and it is a crucial requirement. This requirement has been increasing while the number of vehicles has increased. The increase has resulted in congestion of the road. Congestion is not the only reason for accidents, there are many. Here are the main reasons for vehicular accidents to occur. -The main reasons for accidents are when the driver gets distracted. This results in the driver ignoring the road and what is in front. Usually the main distractions are phone calls, text messages, smartphone usage, looking somewhere else and meddling with the radio. These accidents are dangerous as well. The driver may hit a bystander. -Speeding is a large cause for accidents. When the driver speeds he may lose control. This can be very dangerous in a highway where many cars can pile up when there’s a single accidents. Speeding can cause an accident around a large area due to the force the vehicle impacts on. It can claim many live and may require powerful Nissan patrol wreckers to tow the vehicles away. -Drunk driving is very dangerous and is a criminal offense. When a driver is drunk he or she is impaired and cannot drive properly. Even though it is an illegal activity it is very common. This is mostly due to young people. Drunk drivers can also speed and cause accidents. Drunk driving can result in every other accident such as reckless driving, running the lights, running stop signs are some of them. Police vehicles and various towing vehicles such as the Nissan 4×4 wreckers Perth will be needed to clear the scene. -Reckless driving is another common cause of accidents. Reckless drivers are impatient drivers who may drive in an unlawful manner to get to their destination. These drivers not only endanger themselves but also everyone else on the road. -« Why And When Do You Need To Take Your Vehicle To The Workshop? -In 1997 Ronald Phillips published their first annual catalogue attracting buyers from outside London as well as overseas.

Hard bound, extensively researched and beautifully illustrated; representing a colourful cross-section of what is available at Ronald Phillips. -Trump’s executive order on religious freedom allows HHS Secretary Tom Price to cut access to affordable contraceptive services from their health insurance plans. -The subject line of the press release from HHS Secretary Tom Price in response to President Trump’s signing of the Religious Liberty executive order said it all, “Secretary Price Welcomes Opportunity to Reexamine Contraception Mandate”. The executive order frees Price to take aim at covered women’s health services that providers, insurers, and employers may find objectionable under their religious beliefs. Price has an antiquated and paternalistic perspective that men should be in charge of the type of health care services a woman have access to. -Conscience Protections with Respect to Preventive-Care Mandate. The Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Labor, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall consider issuing amended regulations, consistent with applicable law, to address conscience-based objections to the preventive-care mandate promulgated under section 300gg-13(a)(4) of title 42, United States Code. -Religious liberty is our country’s first freedom. Americans of faith play a vital role in caring for our most vulnerable citizens, including the elderly and the poor. -We welcome today’s executive order directing the Department of Health and Human Services to reexamine the previous administration’s interpretation of the Affordable Care Act’s preventive services mandate, and commend President Trump for taking a strong stand for religious liberty. -We will be taking action in short order to follow the President’s instruction to safeguard the deeply held religious beliefs of Americans who provide health insurance to their employees. -Secretary Price will not be happy until he has been able to strip away all coverage for women’s health issues. The man seems to have stepped out of the 18th century when women had no control over their bodies. He certainly would have been in favor of eugenics and the 1927 Supreme Court decision in Buck v. Bell that upheld a state’s right to permit compulsory sterilization of women deemed unfit to bear children. -In addition to taking the ax to the contraception mandate, Price expressed glee over the House of Representative’s vote to repeal the ACA. -The status quo is failing the American people. Premiums are skyrocketing; choices are narrowing or vanishing; and patients do not have access to the care they need. Today, the House of Representatives has begun to deliver on President Trump’s promise to repeal a broken law and replace it with solutions that put patients in charge. This is a victory for the American people. -The American Health Care Act is focused on patients. It is the first step toward a patient-centered healthcare system that will provide Americans access to quality, affordable healthcare coverage, empowering individuals and families to choose the coverage that best meets their needs, not what Washington forces them to buy, and equipping states to address the diverse needs of their most vulnerable populations. As Congress continues its work, the team at HHS will continue to support the reform effort by reviewing and initiating administrative actions to put patients, families and doctors in charge of medical decisions, bring down costs, and increase choices. -The American Health Care Act (AHCA) passed by the House allows states to file for waivers and allow health plans to exclude some or all of the essential health benefits under the current rulings. Price will almost certainly grant any waiver that strips women’s health services from being offered in health plans. But his rational for allowing states to address “the diverse needs of their most vulnerable populations” is fundamentally flawed. The Republicans have been promoting the idea that people in different states have different health care concerns. Therefore, states should be free to include or exclude certain services. -The health care needs of people are not dependent on what state you live in. A pregnant woman in Alabama requires the same pre-natal and other maternity health care services as a woman in California. The argument that somehow a person’s health care needs change based on what state they live is tantamount to saying that people in Detroit should be fine with drinking lead-tainted water, but people in Texas shouldn’t have to. All people should have access to clean drinking water because they are humans. All people should have access to the same health care services because they are humans regardless of what state they live in. -The other part of the AHCA is that it denies funding to Planned Parenthood. This means that women will have fewer providers to choose from if it passes the Senate and is signed by Trump. It has been Price’s contention that the AHCA will expand access to care. But when the legislation removes hundreds of doctors who have been the primary care physician for thousands of women, how is that improving access to care? -It has become a tired phrase, but Price and his Republican-Christian-Conservative brethren put profits over people. Their ideas on the egalitarian nature of health care are that it should only be extended to healthy people who follow their holy scriptures. All others are unworthy of receiving affordable health insurance and decent health care. These people are just warped, stuck in their own little bubble world. -White cotton t-shirt, ribbed crewneck, back central seam detail, front graphic print, oversized fit.

Whereas, standard conditions are those conditions that are standard with every term of probation. -An example of a standard term of probation is not to commit a new criminal offense. -An example of a special term of probation is to complete a drug evaluation and treatment. -What is the legal standard to a probation violation? -In order to violate probation, a probationer must willfully and substantially violate the terms of their probation. -In other words, you can’t accidentally have a probation violation. Also, you can’t violate probation because of an inability to complete an item of probation (despite your best efforts). For example, it’s not a violation of probation to not pay restitution, EVEN WHERE IT IS ORDERED, so long as you don’t have the money to pay it. Consider a guy working full time to support a family and every penny he makes goes to the absolute bare essentials (food, shelter, rent). if that guy didn’t have any money left over to pay restitution costs, then a judge could not find there to be a willful and substantial violation. However, if the same guy had $300 left over every month and he spent it on lottery tickets, then he would have violated because he willfully gambled over paying his restitution. -The state must only prove a probation violation by a preponderance of the evidence. -Probation Violation.

Vote below! -This month some important Walmart news did not get the attention it deserved. The news wasn't some flashy announcement about virtual reality or about some new service for busy Manhattanites. It was something much more subtle and much more substantive. -It was the hire of Valerie Casey. Google "Valerie Casey" even today and only two listings make mention of her newfound connection with Walmart on the first page of the returned search results. This amount of attention is unjustifiably slight. Let this piece then serve as the hire's coming out party. -Shrewdly, Walmart has made Valerie Casey, formerly of Frog, Ideo, and Pentagram, its new head of design. She will be charged with leading Walmart into the future and ensuring that all its products and services, from websites to employee and consumer apps, will work in cohesion and from a singular experience design point of view. -"What's the big whup?" you might ask. -The big whup is that this announcement clearly shows that Walmart has jumped feet first into the waters of next generation retailing. Under Doug McMillon's bold leadership, Walmart here again is taking one of the most essential steps to long-term success for any legacy bricks-and-mortar retailer—specifically, redefining how it thinks of the word "product." -Instead of doing what many retailers do, like staffing de facto "product" heads within owned brand development, store operations, e-commerce, etc. and then leaving them to collaborate inside complex organizations with competing priorities, Walmart rightly understands that retailing has become so complex that all these aforementioned roles now need their own steward to ensure alignment. -Walmart having a mission to help its customers save money and live better is one thing, but putting that promise into coherent action is another thing entirely. Many retailers take such coordinated action for granted, which is why so many legacy retail experiences feel disjointed across the digital and physical divide. Success rarely is found in the compromise and turf wars of internal politics. The buck needs to stop somewhere. -Prior to e-commerce, before customers had the myriad of options they have today to consume products (via web portals, apps, social media, etc.), retailers were able to differentiate themselves by the products inside their four walls. The strategic practice of product differentiation became so prevalent and such a point of emphasis that it even gave way to the commonly heard parlance of retail being a "merchant-led business." -The growth of e-commerce in the 1990s and 2000s rewrote the playbook though. During this period, Jeff Bezos built Amazon into the "Everything Store." His idea was that as long as he could offer a great selection, convenience and great prices, consumers would gravitate towards Amazon over time. Boy, was he right, and, boy, did they ever gravitate towards Amazon. -Whether customers try to order direct from Amazon or from one of Amazon's many third-party suppliers on its marketplace, it is becoming more and more difficult for a consumer not to find what he or she desires on Amazon. At this point, nearly 50% of all first product searches start on Amazon, indicating that Amazon is settling into the digital and product acquisition-equivalent of the 1980s shopping mall. The products inside a retailers four walls or within a retailers assortment are now, in a way, almost non-differentiating. -Bezos saw that the opportunity in retail was to put the customer first and to think not about the product he or she buys but about the Product he or she really buys—for him, the Product (big "P) of the Amazon brand. The white space in retail was no longer leading with product (small "p"), but leading with the discipline of Product Management, where his Product, or in this case, the Amazon brand, was the magic created at the intersection of great experience design, technology and business. Product was not a pair of khaki pants, a new set of bed sheets or a bar of soap. It was the culmination of a friction-free user experience that delivered on the universal truths of selection, convenience, and low prices and that exceeded consumers' expectations consistently, again and again. -Sadly, many retailers have not grasped this "Product Problem." The greatest Product Manager in history, Jeff Bezos, saw the problem early on, while many merchant princes missed the signals and have even now admitted that they underestimated the impact technology would have on retail. Fortunately, Walmart's recent hire of Casey indicates that there could be light at the end of what has, until now, been a dark tunnel. -Walmart is big. The acquisitions of Jet.com, Bonobos, ModCloth, etc. have only made it bigger and more complex, saying nothing too of the ever-changing demands of consumers and Walmart's ever-expanding interests abroad (see Flipkart). Therefore, it is only right that someone, like Casey, take up the mantle to oversee and to fight for the consumer and to ensure that all Walmart's activities look, feel, and convey the Walmart brand in the simplest, most straightforward way as possible. -The products inside Walmart's stores are immaterial to its future success. What matters is the Product of its brand—its website, its store, its app-based services, etc. Those are the Products that matter. In a future world where the only thing that differentiates a physical from a digital experience is the memory and delight of being somewhere, a Walmart store is the Product or collective set of experiences that will get someone off his or her couch. -A tube of toothpaste just won't cut it anymore. -While the products within Walmart's store or on its website will come and go and ebb and flow, the shroud of the Walmart brand will be what matters. Walmart's store and its digital properties will be the envelopes that carry its brand promise. -The experiment that bears this out has already been run. We need look no further than the history of Amazon and also to the young upstart CEOs like Emily Weiss, Katrina Lake and Adam Goldenberg who are already thriving in this new world. Their collective early success indicates that they get the punchline to the joke of 21st century retail—that the retail of the future won't be merchant led, it will be Product led. -Best of luck, Valerie Casey.

The suspected shooter was 37-year-old Melvin Rowland, a man McCluskey’s family said she had recently stopped dating. Rowland’s body was found a few hours later at a church; police said he died by suicide. -At a press conference, university police chief Dale Brophy said that McCluskey had filed a police report with them “on Oct. 12 and Oct. 13” about threats from Rowland. There was “some follow-up” and it was assigned to a detective who was “working to build a case against our suspect at that time,” Brophy said. The police chief would not go into further details about what happened with that investigation. -On Monday night, Brophy said that police got a call from a frantic mother saying “something happened to her daughter.” In a statement released by the McCluskey family, McCluskey’s mother said that she was on the phone with her daughter that night when she suddenly heard Lauren McCluskey yell “no no no!” Afraid her daughter was in a car accident, she stayed on the line while her husband called 911. A few minutes later, the family statement said, “a young woman picked up the phone and said all of Lauren’s things were on the ground.” It was the last time she spoke with her daughter. -Police officers went to the parking lot and found McCluskey’s body, Brophy said. The university issued an alert and an order for students to “secure-in-place.” It was lifted at 11:46 p.m., according to the university’s website, after police determined that Rowland was no longer on campus. Brophy said that Rowland was picked up by a vehicle and, about 1:15 a.m. he was spotted by Salt Lake City police who ran after him. Rowland got inside the Trinity AME Church, where he killed himself. A retired pastor told the Salt Lake Tribune that, to the best of his knowledge, Rowland didn’t attend the church and he had no idea why he chose that building. -The family of McCluskey, 21, said that their daughter had dated Rowland for about a month. She ended the relationship after she learned about his criminal history. -Lauren was a senior student athlete on the University of Utah track team. She was an outstanding student with a 3.75 GPA majoring in Communication and was excited to graduate in May 2019. She was a 2015 honors graduate of Pullman High School where she was Washington state champion in the high jump and the school record holder in the 100 meter hurdles. She attended Capital Church in Salt Lake City. She loved to sing and had strength and determination. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. -Police said the two had been in a “prior relationship,” but wouldn’t comment further. According to Utah Department of Corrections, Rowland was convicted in 2004 of enticing a minor, a second-degree felony, and attempted forcible sexual abuse, a third-degree felony. His last known home, Brophy said, was a halfway house. -Gimme S'more - A School Superintendent's thoughts on education, community, parenting, and more. -What can make a hippopotamus smile?

For some, the introductory lines of this blog will ring familiar. They are the lyrics to one of many songs that will echo through acres of forests, hillsides, and riverbanks during the months of June, July and August. These songs will be sung by a passionate army of young children who, along with their mentors and idols, will be participating in a ritual cherished by the inner child in so many of us--SLEEPAWAY CAMP! -It’s February, which means families across the country are securing their spots at one of over 8,400 U.S. sleepaway camps and over 5,600 certified day camps. Have you reserved your spot yet? If not, let me explain why I think you should. -As a parent of three and a former camper, camp counselor, and camp director, I cannot impress upon parents enough the meaningful impact summer camp can have on children. In my parent education classes, I often refer to sleepaway camp as the single most important and impactful experience a parent can provide their child. For most children, sleepaway camp develops the skills and mindsets parents so earnestly want to impart upon their children and does so in ways that we parents are sometimes unable to do. So why am I such a passionate advocate for sleepaway camp? -It’s easy for a parent to forget that our number one responsibility is to prepare our children to LEAVE US. It’s counterintuitive, really. We spend so much of our lives connecting with these little beings that grow up so quickly. We offer them all we have. In them, we place our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Only to have them roll their eyes when we perse our lips for a kiss as they leave the car and say, “Gross, mom. My friends will see. Ugh!” As our kids grow older they need us less. And they should. If you want to measure your success as a parent (and I don’t necessarily recommend that you do), consider how well you are preparing your children to leave you. -Sleepaway camp is the single most important resource that I have found that helps prepare our children for healthy individuation. Individuation is a psychological term (coined by Carl Jung) that describes the process of self-actualization. In basic terms, a child’s individuation begins when he/she starts to see him/herself as separate from the parent. As much as we might not feel comfortable with the idea of our child separating more from us, it is an essential part of the process of a child becoming a healthy adult. At sleepaway camp, our children are given the opportunity to see themselves through a lens separate from their parents. The very nature of spending several days and nights without parents in a safe and controlled environment allows children to expand their view of themselves in relationship to the world around them. Their identities away from us are allowed space to grow. -Of all of the gifts sleepaway camp provides us parents, it’s personal responsibility and independence that are often the most gratifying. After years as a camp counselor and director, the response I most often heard from parents after their children returned from camp was appreciation that their child was helping out more around the house. Parents would comment that they didn’t have to ask their child to take their dishes to the sink, rinse them off, and put them in the dishwasher...it just happened! Parents were shocked to find their child had actually made their bed in the morning. -At most sleepaway camps (and if this is NOT the case for your child’s camp, I would encourage you to find another one), personal responsibility is the cornerstone of daily life. Daily chore charts that require every camper to participate include jobs like: wait the tables in the dining hall, wash dishes, deliver mail, vacuum, collect and empty garbage, etc. At many camps, the kids are responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms. YES, even toilets. My favorite job to be assigned was “super spatula.” This job entails scraping all of the food off of the plates at mealtime onto one main plate and then transferring the “ORT” (or leftover food morsels) to the “ort bucket,” the contents of which would be fed to the pigs at the camp’s farm. -Our children can be forgiven for thinking that the world they live in is universal. After all, many of our children haven’t had the opportunity to see much of the world during their young years. Sleepaway camp, particularly those that attempt to attract children and staff from different cities, regions, and backgrounds, provide our children with new and unique experiences and the opportunity to navigate and negotiate social situations that involve people who are different from them and the friends they interact with every day. Often, many sleepaway camps will hire staff from one of several international staffing agencies, thus diversifying the experience even more. Camp program staff design clinics, courses, and experiences that are likely to be novel for the campers, thus expanding a camper’s view on what he/she might enjoy or be good at. I have had the good fortune of observing scores of campers find new hobbies, interest, and passions from just one experience at camp. I know campers who have become chefs from having participated in outdoor cooking classes or children who have become veterinarians as a result of attending horse/ranch camp. -With peers: Ask any adult who has spent time as a camper or staff at a summer camp and they will most likely have close friends today that they met at camp, as well as an army of others that may not be as close, but whose sleepaway camp bond keeps them connected for a lifetime. Children learn not only how to build and maintain relationships with peers, but they also learn the VALUE of deep, supportive friendships. Especially as kids get older, I find that they appreciate having a world outside of school where friends “accept them for who they are.” At camp, children are able to let go of so much more of the pressures of “fitting in” and “measuring up” because they are in a new space. Not to mention, most sleepaway camps provide a technology-free environment for children to cultivate friendship the old-fashioned way--through conversation and shared experience--NOT through social media. -With non-parent adults: In an age when the pressures and distractions our children face are only increasing, one of the best defenses against childhood and teen depression, anxiety, and self-harm is a supportive adult outside the family that your child knows they can turn to. In school settings we ensure that each child has at least one adult on campus they know they can talk to, and a camp experience widens the net of available confidantes for our children. As our kids individuate, their bonds with other adults become more important. They will value and look up to role models they trust, and those trusted adults become part of the village that helps raise our children. As a “retired” counselor, I can’t tell you how many now-grown campers still reach out to me for support, advice, or just a friendly and non-judgmental ear. It is a privilege for me to me held in that esteem, but also a helpful relationship for them as they navigate their way through young adulthood. I know the counselors whom I most respected held that role for me and my life is better for it. -With YOU: Before you worry that sending your child off to meet and bond with other adults will diminish your own relationship, fear not. Consider that a child whose parents trust them enough to 1) send them to camp and 2) encourage them to seek mentorship outside the parental relationship feels valued and supported, and will actually respect you more for that freedom. I find that as children grow up, the parents with whom they feel closest are the ones who have learned to loosen the strings appropriately. We want the best for our kids, and helping them grow a network of close adults who can provide advice and support is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. Believe me, they will not forget about you – they will love you for the experience! -When I was a child, my friends and I were free to ride our bikes to the far ends of the earth (or at least that what it felt like) to discover our own adventures. We explored the outdoors with a lightness and whimsy that is often frowned upon today. Even though our neighborhoods are much safer than they have ever been, providing the freedom for children to explore the great outdoors feels too risky a venture for most parents. And even if we did provide that freedom, the draw of technology or the scheduling of numerous sports and activities has our children indoors and/or booked most of the time. -Sleepaway camp is a ticket outdoors without the worry of putting children’s safety at risk. -You don’t need me to remind you of the myriad of benefits being outdoors has on our health and wellbeing. There’s plenty of great research out there to tell you that being outdoors can do wonders to your body, mind, and spirit. However, maybe we all need to be reminded that our children need it, too. Desperately. And if you are like me and live in the middle of massive suburbia with all of its pressure, stress, noise, and competing interests, then we share an even greater need to get out in the great outdoors. Sleepaway camp provides this necessary connection to the natural world for our children. -Below is a graphic published by the American Camp Association that highlights some of the benefits campers, parents, and staff experience from camp. -I imagine that all this sleepaway camp talk has got you wondering a few things. Let me take a stab at answering the most likely questions you may have. -I am also a big supporter of day camps. In fact my own children attend several day camps in our area and love them. There are so many great options with specific sports, music, art or hobby foci. There are also more globally focused camps that try to address the teaching of innovation, adventure, or making skills. Day camps are a gradual entre to sleepaway camp, too. All that said, there is some developmental growth and experience that only sleepaway camp can provide. In my book, including at least one week of sleepaway camp in the summer plans, along with a smattering of day camps and family time is a great recipe for summer growth and respite. -How do I know my child is ready for sleepaway camp? -Begin with day camp experiences at least one year before signing up for sleepaway camp. -If possible, select a sleepaway camp that is near to your home when your child is younger. For those in the Bay Area, there are many options in the Santa Cruz Mountains and surrounding areas. -A one-week session is usually the perfect starting point for a new sleepaway camper. -Start talking about sleepaway camp early. My children hear about my sleepaway camp experiences all the time. Last summer we visited my former sleepaway camp in preparation for one of my children to begin this summer. He has been talking about starting ever since we visited. -Attend a family camp at your favorite sleepaway facility. Most camps properties provide family camp options during the off season. These are great opportunities to acclimate your children to sleepaway camp. -What are indicators of quality? -I’m going likely disappoint a lot of people by not recommending any specific camp. It’s not my job to presuppose a family’s needs and values; I also don’t want to leave any quality program out of my recommendations. That said, there are some great resources out there to help you identify a great camp for your child. -First get recommendations from people you trust. There is no better indicator of quality than the recommendation of friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Second, you want to make sure that the camp you choose is accredited. Accreditation ensures that camps have the proper facility maintenance, staff training and support, safety plans and measures, and philosophical approach. The American Camp Association is the largest accreditation organizations in the U.S., but there are others. To ensure that the camp is a right fit, you can also read online reviews and take a visit. Camps welcome parent visitors to their facilities to discover more; take them up on that welcome. -Sending your child to camp, especially the first time, with a friend is a great way to ease the anxiety that they--or more likely, you--have about being away from home for an extended period. Homesickness is real for many kids, even the most well adjusted and outgoing. Attending with a friend can help create just enough comfort, allowing kids, especially the younger ones, to adjust quickly to being away from home. Often, after the first experience with a friend, the childhood fears dissipate greatly. While attending with a friend is a great strategy, I do recommend providing at least occasional camp options that don’t always include the same group of kids your children hang out with at school or in sports/scouts/church, etc. Having an experience that challenges children to get out of their comfort zones is valuable; attending sleepaway camp with a team and coach they are always with is great, but there is growth in providing experiences with children and staff with whom a camper is unfamiliar. -What if I can’t afford camp? -Many camps offer financial aid and scholarships, as well as discounts. If you are interested in sending your child to sleepaway camp, but worry about the cost, contact the camp you’re interested in attending and ask about financial assistance. Another strategy for managing costs is to get your child excited about sleepaway camp and use earning money toward camp as an incentive or a substitute for expensive gifts at birthday and holiday times. Having a birthday party? Instead of receiving a dozen toys as gifts that will get broken and lost within two weeks, ask folks to donate to your child’s sleepaway camp fund. Many faith-based organizations and local community groups also sponsor summer camp experiences that are low or no cost. If you have the will to send your child to sleepaway camp, there are ways to make it happen. -All this talk about camp makes me nostalgic for my camp days. Nature hikes, horseback rides, all-camp capture the flag, campouts under the stars, the sounds of a dozen hammers pounding leather, S’mores and camp songs by the campfire as fireflies light up the night sky. I’m not sure what can make a hippopotamus smile, but I am sure there’s nothing like belting the song out at the top of my lungs with new and lifelong friends. -If my words have piqued your interest, you might want to sign your child up soon. Spots often fill up in January and February for the summer at most of the best sleepaway camps. Give your camp a call today and feel free to let me know how it goes once the summer wraps up. -What can make a hippopotamus smile? What can make him walk more than a mile? It’s not a tune on the old violin, or listenin’ to the whistlin’ wind. THAT’S NOT WHAT HIPPO'S DO! Noooo. They, ooze through the gooze with batting shoes, they wade through the water till' their lips turn blue, that's what hippos do!

A highly accessible, text book-style resource, it explores how the medical profession has evolved in tandem with administrative and structural aspects of the NHS. Assuming leadership roles at all stages of their training and career is a progressively vital component of the definition of a good doctor. This book will provide invaluable support and guidance to anyone engaged in leadership within the NHS, but particularly to junior doctors in the primary and secondary care arenas taking on leadership roles for the first time. -An introduction to medical leadership and engagement: a perspective on this text. A historical perspective on medical leadership. Doctors and managers: differing perspectives. Roles and models of leadership. Medical leadership competency approaches. Why does it matter? Medical engagement and organisational performance. Medical leadership and primary care. Appraisal and revalidation. Practical examples of initiatives to enhance leadership capacity. Medical leadership and engagement: towards cultural acceptance and the future. -Peter Spurgeon was Director of the Health Services Management Centre at the University of Birmingham prior to joining Warwick Medical School (WMS). At WMS he was originally based in the Institute of Clinical Leadership, which ran programmes in medical leadership for undergraduate and postgraduate doctors. The Institute also offered development programmes for newly qualified doctors and developed a Certificate and Masters programme in Medical Leadership.Peter was Project Director for five years on the Enhancing Engagement in Medical Leadership project, run jointly by the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges. This project produced the Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF), now endorsed by the General Medical Council as part of undergraduate and postgraduate training. It also formed the basis of a modified Clinical Leadership Competency Framework for all clinical professionals and ultimately the Leadership Framework for all NHS staff groups.The project also produced the Medical Engagement Scale (MES), which provides a metric of the level of engagement of the medical workforce in the wider goals of the organisation. Peter has overseen the subsequent use of this measure to its current position of an international comparative database of some 7000 doctors. The sustained link between levels of medical engagement and organisational performance has seen increasing attention given to both assessment and development of enhanced engagement.Peter is now a Recognised Researcher in the Social Science and Systems in Health Unit of the Division of Health Sciences at WMS. -John Clark is is an Honorary Associate Professor within the University of Warwick Medical School and was involved in the design and delivery of a new Masters in Medical Leadership. He is also an Adjunct Professor in Clinical Leadership, Curtin University, Western Australia and an Associate Editor of The International Journal of Clinical Leadership. John was previously a Senior Fellow in Leadership Development at The King’s Fund where he engaged in strategies to enhance medical and clinical engagement in the NHS, building on his international research and consultancy on doctors' leadership. -Negative Pneumatic Toothed Clutch with Front Toothing, Closed with Springs Pressure, with Transmission. -• The power supply (approx. 6 bars) disconnects the toothed clutch. -• The transmission (8) makes it easy to assemble the toothed clutch and add a crown wheel or pulley, etc. -• Static moments (MS) from 110 to 2100 Nm. -In fact, there are currently over a million international students studying in the United States. India and China are by far the two largest contributors, with 47% of all students for the 2015-2016 school year. -The visa application process can be confusing though, especially when English isn’t your strong suit. We at TransparentCareer have laid out each type of visa used by international students, and the application process for each visa. -F1 Visa– These are the most common type of visas, and are used for bachelor and graduate school degrees, as well as training programs in the English language. The first step is to check whether the university you’re interested in is verified by the United States government – you can’t get an F1 visa for non accredited universities. Take a look here to see if your school is verified. The first step is to apply to universities where you want to study. Upon acceptance, the university will provide you with a form I-20. Keep in mind – you can’t transfer once you select a school. Make sure it’s the right fit for you! You’ll then have to go to the site of the US embassy closest to you, and pay a non refundable application fee. Find the embassy closest to you here. -You’ll then have to prepare for an interview – the sooner you can set this up the better. The interviewer will require proof of intent to return to your country after you complete your education (such as family, home job offer) as well as a passport and the form I-20 provided by your school. The interview will also require proof of financial sufficiency to fund your education. If you need advice on how to finance your education, take a look at this guide. Depending on your school you may also have to provide test scores such as the SAT, GMAT, or GRE. -J1A Visa– J1A visas are for those looking to temporarily stay in the US for a work or culture exchange program, such as to be an au pair, international camp counselor, or for specific medical training. To be accepted, you have to be sponsored by a nonprofit or government organization. You can find a list of all approved organizations here. After applying and being approved by an organization, they’ll provide you with a DS-2019 form to fill out. Then you have to apply for a J1A visa at your nearest US embassy. A Sevis I-901 fee must then be paid (sometimes by your sponsor), along with a Nonimmigrant Application Processing Fee of $160. You must then schedule an appointment with the embassy, giving plenty of time in case anything goes wrong. Bring along the DS-2019 form provided by your sponsor, as well as your passport, a 2×2 photo, and any additional documentation that may be required depending on the nature of your program. You can find the types of documentation on the J1A government site. -M1A Visa– This is visa for vocational training in the US. There must be a specific program/school when you apply for the visa, and you’ll have certain requirements and forms you might have to fill out for the school before applying for a visa. You aren’t allowed to work while studying in the US, so you must prove to the school that you have enough money to stay in the US while getting your training. If approved by the school, they’ll give you a form I-20 to fill out, which you’ll need next when you set up a meeting at your nearest US Embassy. You’ll also have to pay an application fee, and bring your passport, a photo (with rules provided by your consulate), a DS-160 form, and a DS-157 form if you’re a male between the ages of 16 and 45. -H1B Visa- H1B work visas are for those that have completed a higher form of education and want to work in America – it’s the most common way for foreign students to stay and work in the US after graduation. These visas have to be filed by your employer, so if you’re hoping to stay in America after graduation you should start the job search as soon as possible. Approvals are done through a lottery system, and start to fill up quickly after the government’s fiscal year starts – typically October 1. You may file up to 6 months in advance, so filing as close to April 1 as possible is ideal. There are a total of 85,000 visas issued this way each year, and the first 20,000 are reserved for those with master’s degrees or higher levels of education. The remaining 65,000 are available to those with bachelor’s degrees, along with those that didn’t make it past the first round with a master’s or higher level of education. -A lot of controversy has stirred up around H1B visas recently after the election of Donald Trump, who has claimed on numerous occasions that he wants to get rid of people who got into the US unfairly. According to Forbes, the top 10 companies that sponsor H1B visas received 25,000 visas in 2014, which is nearly 30% of all issued H1B visas. Of these 10 firms, half were firms based in India, typically working with call centers. Trump and others supportive of a crackdown claim that firms are submitting multiple applications for one person in order to game the system. 236,000 applications were received last year for the 85,000 positions, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that there were 236,000 applicants. While we haven’t seen what a Trump presidency will look like yet, stopping people from abusing the system may provide more opportunities for foreign students looking to work in the US after graduation. -Check out our industry career guides on Finance, Consulting, and Tech to help you decide which is the best fit for you. -Looking to stay in the states after graduation?

But, I must say you should join Instagram and experience photo sharing. Today I would be sharing ways on how can you access Instagram on web. Instagram is being used more for the Photo contest and social media campaigns these days. Even I have seen few images which I am sure it is not clicked by mobile camera, but they upload it by third-party applications uploading directly from the computer. Apart from that, you can even search in Instagram or know the stats of the users using the service. -How can you use Instagram on your PC? -Gramfeed: gives an interactive Instagram UI which helps you to manage your friends photos likes and check out familiar photos which are active.

As I approach a half-century on this earth, I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that, at some point, people just stop learning. -Barring some kind of dementia or other mental disorder, it’s hard to understand why anyone would “choose” to be an old dog, totally uninterested in learning a new trick. In my lines of work, I am frequently exposed to innovative technology and new ideas and I’m expected to keep up or I don’t pay the mortgage. -I spend a considerable amount of time researching, learning new concepts or updating my skills in some way so I can stay relevant in a world that seems to change by the nanosecond. Part of that continuing education includes reading, networking with others and going to conferences and workshops. I just returned from one such conference that was, for me, one of the single best I have ever attended. -A couple of months ago, I was asked by a friend to speak at an upcoming technology event known as, “Dayton WordCamp,” a two-day series focused on the website content management system called “WordPress.” As with most tech, this event would be dominated by much younger, more advanced presenters. -Originally, I hesitated, feeling as if “at my age” (and technical level) I would have little to bring to the table. But, with a little effort I found a spot where I fit into the program nicely and agreed. -Dayton’s event is one of hundreds of WordCamps around the world, all presented for the benefit of those using WordPress as their website platform. Lovingly referred to by organizers as an “unconference,” the atmosphere is very relaxed and laid back, with most people wearing jeans and T-shirts. One of the perks of speaking is the opportunity to attend the event as a spectator as well. -One of the first things I noticed upon arrival was that I was not the oldest person in the room. Of roughly 120 attendees the bell curve probably favored the younger crowd, but there were plenty of people my age and older as well. Such diversity says something for both the reputations of the scheduled presenters and the usability of the software about which we had all come to learn. -As the first day’s session began my apprehension diminished and I began to settle into a comfortable atmosphere for learning. By the conclusion of day two, I was not only charged up to dive in and apply my newly-acquired information, but I wanted to find a way to be more involved in future sessions. -At this point, I have to give a shout out to my friend Dustin Hartzler and his fellow organizers, particularly Nathan Driver, who invited me to speak at the event while also allowing me to be a student as well (that’s not the norm at such functions). These folks gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge, allowing me to better serve my clients, plus I got to take a couple of days for myself, something for which I rarely have the opportunity. -In my experience, most people who have stopped learning have done so, in some manner, by choice. Learning is not just academic. Expanding your horizons at any age is not limited to taking college classes or immersing yourself in books for hours on end. You can attend free, hands-on workshops, watch “do it yourself” shows on television, or just dive in and try something on your own, learning as you go. -My point is that there is simply no reason any of us should be stagnant. Opportunities for growth exist in many areas of our lives and all we need to do is take the first step. What is important is that you get out there and try, whether your interest is gardening, motorcycles, computers, music, or maybe you want to try something new. Don’t be an old dog with no new tricks. -Gery L. Deer is an independent columnist and business writer.

I have my reservations about this whole process, there has to be some risk ( even if it's very low) when you are injecting those sort of materials underground to release the gas, what happens to the sand, chemicals and water then? Does it permeate the rock changing it's chemical composition, seep into water courses or add pollution to the atmosphere? Quite scary and all for the sake of getting our own gas (if it can be recovered)for the future - at what price? -I was sent a petition to sign in January, being run by Greenpeace but I don't remember seeing anything from 38 Degrees separately. Added just found this, I assume it's still relevant? speakout.38degrees.org.uk/campaigns/fracking-keep-your-promise Just signed it and it was accepted. -For me, the jury is still out with regards to fracking. I'm not totally against the proposals but 38 Degrees is a revelation - never heard of it before, I obviously lead a very sheltered life! So thank you for that. -I agree with you, Shirl, about not having decided absolutely about the harm that might be done by fracking, but what does worry me is that it is yet more reliance on fossil fuels, when we are supposed to be committed to renewable energy. This is what makes me feel that big business is bound to be behind it. Thanks for alerting me to the petition – it's probable that I signed that one a while ago, but it needs to be said again. I have emailed them to say so. i also feel strongly that protected areas should stay protected. -Alf, I am so glad you have been alerted to 38 Degrees (and do you know Avaaz, for the international equivalent?). It is a way of getting the voice of sensible, reasonable, concerned people (that's us, of course!) heard, as opposed to the government and business (much the same thing, at the present time) having it all its own way. -I thought they said they wouldn't!! -I have just read in New Scientist that senior environmentalists believe that fracking is the best option we have at the moment. Yes, it is a fossil fuel, but for reasons I don't pretend to understand, it is apparently far and away the best, until really effective solar power etc is produced. Here's an article in the Guardian about it www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jul/08/shale-gas-fracking-good-for-environment. But I'm still not at all sure that it should go on in national parks – they say that it produces quite an upheaval getting started. On the other hand, so do wind farms. No easy answers here. -The guardian article makes interesting reading and I have to say, the more I read, hear and think about this, the more accepting I am of fracking being a viable, and possibly the only, way forward given the demands of our society for energy. No body wants to see a drilling rig from their home any more than people wanted to see coal pits, slag heaps, gasometers, power stations, electricity pylons, etc in the past. There is a tremendous vitriolic outpouring around here whenever a farmer wants planning permission for a solitary wind turbine on his land so the opposition to fracking drilling rigs will be phenomenal! But, if we continue to demand the kind of lifestyles we enjoy now we need to learn to live with a few blots on the landscape especially if the blots provide the energy we crave along with a reduction in pollution and global warming. In the short term, fracking may be part of the answer. -Any predictions about the long-term effects of fracking on the geology? of the surrounding areas can be nothing more than guesses. -Looks like the regulator in this news item concluded that fracking operations did cause a magnitude 4.6 earthquake, but experts suggest that any fracking related future earthquakes are unlikely to cause any damage - are we confident in that statement or is it just that no damage has been seen to occur so far so that's evidence enough! -The latest thing I heard on the radio from a geology professor, who sounded a strong conservationist, was that damage had indeed been done by frackers in America but it was because they were cowboys after a quick buck and did things all wrong, and that sort of thing (earthquakes, contaminated water supplies etc.) was preventable if proper safeguards were in place. His opinion was that there is no way of getting energy that is without some drawback or other, but that fracking was a good candidate for being not as bad as most. -Don't believe all you read about us, Yetis are NOT vegetarians: we love steak and chips. -Very good and well made post Alf. -I am an energy user, as is everyone here on this Forum. I want far better sourced energy and in time, I think that will happen. But I feel it will take decades or even centuries to get to a true 100% renewable/green sources. In the meantime I cannot see us going forward as a civilisation without at least very, very carefully testing the viability and environmental impact of such as fracking as a "temporary" source of energy. -If it passes such tests and can be done under National Parks with minimal and very strictly controlled pollution etc on the edges/just outside of the Parks, then so be it. -And does that mean I would accept such as a drilling rig in the eye line looking up to the lovely North Downs, I live in sight of here in Kent? Not a National Park, but still very lovely, then the answer is a qualified Yes. -Did anyone see the PBS America programme about fracking - it was shown a couple of times in the past week. Seems that there is little regulation for such activity in parts of US with result that well heads have been sited next to homes, schools and playgrounds - apparently allowed within 350ft (a study suggests it should be x7 that distance). There are 18,000 well heads in Colorado alone. Lots of companies have jumped on this bandwagon with no regard for the local population or environment. Earth tremors have been linked to inappropriate disposal of waste water underground and substandard lining of wells has allowed escape of gases into the environment. -I'm still not totally against fracking but I sure hope it will be better controlled her than in the US. -I have recorded quite a few CDs. I recommend "Reliable Transportation" - my first cd. Also "The Innocent Bystanders Volumes I & II" and "Ed Dowling and the Moments Live at the Spirit Room" I played with the Innocent Bystanders for 15 years or so. We were a newgrass band with a unique style and sound. We played every Saturday and Sunday afternoon at the Spirit Room in Jerome, Arizona for most of the 1980's. There are some nice original tunes on the 2 CD set which was recorded live at the Spirit Room in 1987. I am trying to provide as many of the tunes as possible for free download and listening.

Drivers have also been added for a Wireless Gigabit chip and a PCIe WLAN chip from Realtek. -In his email announcing the release of Linux 3.8-rc6, Linus Torvalds emphasised that he wanted the seventh release candidate to be the last one. When he released RC7 on Friday, however, he made no mention of whether there would be an eighth RC before the final version of Linux 3.8. -As long as no more major problems arise, though, the Linux kernel 3.8 should still be released this month. This article on driver updates will therefore bring the "Coming in 3.8" Kernel Log mini-series to a close. The first two parts of the series focused on the changes that kernel developers made to filesystems and storage and the platform and infrastructure code for Linux 3.8. -In Linux 3.8, the Nouveau kernel driver will include everything that the OpenGL driver – which is part of current versions of Mesa 3D and is also called Nouveau – needs to use the 3D acceleration of all GeForce graphics chips available so far without further configuration. This is the first time that the Nouveau developers, who use reverse engineering to get the information they need to program their drivers, have managed this feat; before this, they were still lacking standard 3D support for some newer Fermi GPUs and the Kepler graphics chips, which have been on the market since March 2012 (1, 2, 3). For many computers, however, NVIDIA's proprietary graphics driver will still be a better choice, since Nouveau can't activate the faster operation modes for many of the newer GeForce chips, resulting in 3D performance that leaves something to be desired. There are also other issues, particularly when it comes to video acceleration and fan management support. -Version 3.8 of Linux is the first to include a simple kernel graphics driver for the graphics cores in NVIDIA's Tegra 2 and 3 SoCs (system on a chip) (1, 2, 3 and others). The driver is not from NVIDIA; it was developed mostly by a developer from the German company Avionic Design. The company works on embedded solutions in close cooperation with NVIDIA and programmed the driver independently, but with input from NVIDIA. Surprisingly, NVIDIA jumped into the development process, publishing extensions a few weeks ago that let the driver make the graphics cores' acceleration features available, but these improvements did not make it into 3.8. Userland drivers are still needed to use the acceleration functions, and NVIDIA has yet to give any indication that it is interested in releasing those drivers under an open source licence. Nouveau developer Lucas Stach shared background information on the Linux drivers for NVIDIA's Tegra in a presentation at FOSDEM 2013, a recording of which is available on YouTube. -The Radeon driver now allows more of the graphics cores' DMA engines, which have previously been largely ignored, to be used from userspace (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The i915 graphics driver now supports by default the graphics cores of the Haswell processors that Intel will introduce under the name Core i4000 in a few months. The developers have also included a workaround for a bug in the Intel 830 and 845 chipsets so the graphics drivers are supposed to be stable on these chipsets. -The virtio_net network driver, which uses paravirtualisation and is especially used with KVM and Xen, should provide better performance now that it can use multiple queues for each network device. The same goes for the Tun/Tap driver, which is also used for system virtualisation as well as other purposes like emulating network hardware. -The batman-adv (Better Approach To Mobile Ad-Hoc Networking Advanced) mesh implementation developed as part of open-mesh.org to spontaneously create WLAN networks can now build a distributed ARP table, which allows non-mesh clients on a network to receive quick, reliable answers to their ARP queries. -The rtl8723ae driver for the Realtek RTL8723AE PCIe WLAN chip is new (1, 2 and others), as is the wil6210 driver for a Wilocity WLAN chip that operates at 60GHz and uses the IEEE 802.11ad standard promoted by the Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig). -Another addition to the kernel is the ar5523 driver, which was started over five years ago for the Atheros USB chipset of the same name. Extensions for supporting more chips and WLAN adapters were added to a number of other drivers; the brcmsmac WLAN driver, for example, now supports the BCM43224 Broadcom chip, while the rt2800usb RaLink driver supports the Sweex LW323 USB WLAN adapter. -The cdc-mbim driver, which supports broadband modems that implement Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM ) 1.0, specified by the USB Implementers Forum, is also new (1, 2). MBIM is a USB protocol for connecting modems for laptops, tablets and desktop computers that provide an internet connection using GSM and CDMA-based 3G and 4G (including LTE). Aleksander Morgado provides more details on the protocol and its advantages compared to other technologies in a blog post. -The kernel's audio drivers now support the Philips PSC724 Ultimate Edge sound card. The kernel can also handle VIA's VT1705CF HD audio codec now. The merge listing the most important changes to Linux 3.8's sound subsystem includes some other changes to audio drivers. -The kernel now includes a driver for human interface devices (HIDs) that use I2C (1, 2 and others), using the "HID over I2C" protocol designed by Microsoft and implemented in Windows 8. Extensions were added to the HID multitouch driver to support some of the features for better finger and movement recognition found in Windows 8. -The drivers for Video4Linux 2 (V4L2) located in the media subsystem can now use the "DMA Buffer Sharing Mechanism" (dma_buf) integrated in Linux 3.3 to share buffer space with graphics cards, which makes it possible that data from video hardware will no longer need to be duplicated in the buffer in order for a graphics chip to display it. -The kernel developers have marked the uas driver, which handles the USB Attached SCSI protocol, as broken because it causes problems and is not yet ready for the major distributions. -Alan Cox has given up kernel development for family reasons, leaving his position as maintainer of the serial driver subsystem. Cox is a Linux veteran who maintained the Linux kernel 2.2, during which time he was considered the second most important kernel developer after Linus Torvalds. Although he hasn't been that far up in the ranks these last few months, Cox has still contributed quite a lot to the development of Linux. -o beFresh from its unveiling at the Paris Show, BMW’s latest G20-generation M340i looks to reassert Munich’s position as the driver’s choice in its class.

The Bulldogs had gone 24-30 overall and 8-22 in conference play in 2015 to finish last in the Western Division and post the SEC's worst overall league record. -Bulldogs coach John Cohen, who played for Mississippi State's last SEC regular-season champions, said there isn't much of a gap separating the top of the conference from the bottom. -"If you're an inch off in the Southeastern Conference, you're going to get punched in the mouth a lot," Cohen said. -SEC Tournament play begins Tuesday in Hoover, Alabama. No. 6 seed Vanderbilt (41-15, 18-12) faces No. 11 seed Missouri (26-29, 9-21), No. 7 seed Mississippi (40-16, 18-12) meets No. 10 seed Georgia (27-29, 11-19), No. 8 seed Kentucky (32-24, 15-15) battles No. 9 seed Alabama (31-24, 15-15) and No. 5 seed LSU (39-17, 19-11) tackles No. 12 seed Tennessee (29-27, 9-21) in single-elimination games. -Tuesday's winners advance to double-elimination play beginning Wednesday along with Mississippi State, No. 2 seed South Carolina (42-13, 20-9), No. 3 seed Texas A&M (41-13, 20-10) and No. 4 seed Florida (44-11, 19-10). The tournament returns to a single-elimination format Saturday and has a championship game Sunday. -Mississippi State made its dramatic rise up the standings by getting improvement from its new players and receiving a huge impact from its newcomers. Mississippi State's three top batting averages are owned by freshman Jake Mangum (.427) and junior-college transfers Nathaniel Lowe (.359) and Jack Kruger (.358). Kruger has a team-high .570 slugging percentage, Mangum leads the Bulldogs in on-base percentage (.479) and Lowe has a team-leading 47 RBIs. -"Those are all three new guys who have just had great first years," Cohen said. "That's not common in the Southeastern Conference." -Cohen also led Kentucky to a regular-season title in 2006 and is the second coach to win an SEC regular-season championship at two different schools. Ron Polk led Mississippi State to four SEC regular-season championships before winning one at Georgia in 2001. -Here are some things to watch in the SEC tournament. -FIGHTING FOR POSITION: The top SEC teams already are assured of NCAA Tournament invitations but are trying to improve their positioning. Florida, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Ole Miss, LSU and Vanderbilt all would like to be considered as regional hosts and/or national seeds. -BUBBLE BATTLE: Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard and Kentucky's Gary Henderson acknowledge their teams are on the NCAA Tournament bubble after going .500 in conference play during the regular season. The two teams face each other Tuesday. "You've got to win this game, you've got to get to the double-elimination part, you've probably got to beat (Mississippi State) on Wednesday and build those RPI points," Henderson said. Gaspard said that "the winner of that game is going to have a whole lot more comfort after it and the loser is going to be sitting home on pins and needles for a week." -DOMINANT GATORS/TIGERS: LSU has won five of the last eight SEC tournaments. Florida won last year's SEC Tournament and also earned the title in 2011. -WHO'S SURGING: Mississippi State is on an 11-game winning streak. LSU had won 11 in a row — including two straight victories over Florida — before losing its regular-season finale to the Gators. -WHO'S MISSING: Auburn (23-33, 8-22) and Arkansas (26-29, 7-23) had the SEC's two worst conference records and consequently didn't make the 12-team tournament field. With its losing record, Arkansas also is expected to miss the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2001. -WBS: why is it important & why it is not important? -Can somebody post their view or opinion based on practice, why is it that WBS is not important or why is it that WBS is important in managing project? -I appreciate all ur input. -creating a wbs forces you to think about how you are going to dissect your project and organize your project into meaningful groups or packages of work. -It is a way to group your work so that people can understand the where's the what's and the how's you will approcah the work. -for example if you were looking for an activity in the 2rd floor of Building B and the activities were not group by building and floor it would be very hard to find. -Also by using a wbs you can collapse work and summarise work more easily. -I love a good WBS! -See below link to one of our newsletters. -I started using activity codes even before WBS functionality was available. And I still use them, precisely for purposes as you mentioned - eg filtering the plastering items etc. And since I started using these things from DOS days, I also make use of the characters in activity ID to represent various things. And as you correctly mentioned, it is also possible to get those functionalities from few characters in the activity description. -In fact, the best way to input your coded information is in the activity id. That way, the information is "in built" and cannot be changed easily. -All these things including searching and filtering (eg for filtering for certain characters in activity id or description) work well when everybody is disciplined in naming and coding. And as long as one person is doing all these things, everything works perfectly well for him (as it does for me and you). But when you are integrating programmes from various contractors, it is not easy to excecise those rules with planners from various firms. -WBS concept is as old as project management but its functionality appeared relatively late. Even in P3 3.1, WBS is still optional function that appears the same way as acivity codes. And some people still don’t use it because 1) it is optional 2) activity codes seem to do the same job and 3) they are more used to activity codes. But even in P3 3.0, WBS code can do things which activity codes can’t. -For example, you can have WBS activity and it does not need any links as in hammock activities. And this WBS activity can summarise all the activities which have the same WBS code. When you need a high level programme that shows bars in the same line as activity description (activity code roll up bar appears one line below), you can just filter for WBS activities and you get very good presentation. And the list goes on. -And when you start using P3e, WBS is no more optional and it appears more different than activity codes and thus makes it more apparent. But activity code has more functionality in new programmes as well as you can have second level of codes within same acitity code. And these lower levels of codes work exactly the same way as WBS does. So you can have work breakdown stucture as well as ANY breakdown structure using a single code. -But as long as you have to use two or more actity codes (as you have to do in P3 3.1 and earlier), to make your work breakdown structure, it is far more easier to do so using the in built WBS coding. (And you can of course, still use activity codes, for other functionalities). -I can therefore sort as activity description contains plastering and all the activities drop out. Now If I have also coded for floors and towers I can organise so the towers and floors show up so I know where I am. -That means I need to code in a tower and a floor with each activity, thats pretty easy cos I can copy and past this info. -If I am really smart when I copy and past the fragnet I can add some alpha numerics at the end of the ID ie 100 activity number from fragnet then T1 (tower 1) then F1 ie the id is know 100T1F1 this helps in that I can sort all activities in tower 1 or floor 1 or whatever so by using the ID and the description almost without touching the codes we have a pretty robust sorting catergory. In turn when you can sort in this way logic application and resource balancing becomes much easier. -Lets go back to the plastering scenario we now have all the activities, so linking floor to floor or globally copying resources is easy as is levelling them because you can see whats happening and more importantly so can everybody else. -In this way you can tell your subby exactly what he needs. -I am not saying you cant do it with WBS and of course you can what I am saying is for a great deal of what we do in building and Civil Engineering WBS codeing is excessively complicated. -I’m Currently using Hierarchical code structures to help with the application of the cost accounts from our cost tool. I simply apply the codes to the activities and then group and sort with totals and balance my activity budgets. -So you can use code fields to give rudimentry totals for Units. -This process has helped me immensley as when I started with this company 9 weeks ago there wern’t even any baselines in the projects and they were using units % Complete and just adding extra hours to the remainings by multiples of 10 or 50. They even expected to be able to resource level with this data. -Activity codes look good and seems to show what you want to show only when data is organized in a particular way (eg phase, location, contractor etc). So it is very much a Layout depedent method. -WBS works no matter how you organize your activities. And you can have WBS activity (in P3 for example) which summarises all the activities which have the same WBS code no matter where those activites are located. There is no such functionality available for activity codes. -Furthermore when you organize activities with acitity codes, you will always end up with groups with no names. Planner would understand it but there would be many would be questining it everytime they see it. -So when you want work breakdown that really add up to whole project, use WBS. It is that simple. And use activity codes for other organizing and filtering purpose. -I suppose WBS & Codes are lying on the same concept, so why bother? you’re not showing codes on your schedule anyway. -Dont let anybody walk away with the idea when you have explained something "gee I wonder what he is smoking" -Often in fact more often than I care to remember I dont employ planners because they cant do their job but because they cant explain what their job is. -Remember we are planners, that makes us somebody who assists the process not somebody who actually does it, so go and assist the person doing it by understanding what he wants not what you feel you should give him. -The WBS structure is simply an end to a means. -The end is being able to provide BAC, ACWP, ETC, EAC & EV for particular portions of the project. -The WBS is simply the most widley used method of doing this, and as a consequence comes as a standard part (or code) of most planning/scheduling software. -As far as codes go - well the world is your oyster. -As far as how to, and what size, and by what method you chose to quantify and divide your project up, it’s really up to you..... However you should document what each structre is for and what assumptions were made to arrive at the particular structure. -CBS - Cost Breakdown Structure, ETC. -Again I will say it’s limitless to how many you can have, but you should document what it is and how you came up with it. -That way when you’re asked to explain a code field that you thought was a good idea at the time - Your manager doesn’t walk away with the "I don’t know what that guy was on about" thought in their head. -this is very simple! you use WBS or Codes to make your Project become "Measurable" either in a summarized form or a detailed one. But how do you put a certain unit to a summarized deliverable? Isn’t it Lump Sum (LS)? and how do you define Lump Sum? are you gonna need WBS or Codes? -While the Explanation is well "dry but clear" -I think all would benefit more if you provided sonme clarity with examples. -As I have mention before WBS development can be viewed as the process of grouping all project elements into several major categories, normally referred to as Level One; each one of these categories will itself contain several subcategories, normally referred to as Level Two. Alternately, and more accurately, developing a WBS involves dividing the deliverable items until the project has been divided into manageable, discrete, and identifiable items requiring simple tasks to complete that, when combined, constitute the project deliverable. -Logically is to keep dividing the project until the elements cannot realistically be divided anymore and may vary from organization to organization or may even vary among project managers within the same organization. -Each level of detail contains not only organization specific, but they also are specific to the nature of the deliverables involved in each project. Similarly, the degree of detail at the lowest level of each branch must be in line with the size of the project and in conformance with the organization’s operational philosophies. -Ideally, there should be some uniformity and consistency in the WBS. To achieve this uniformity, all children of the same parent must be developed based on the same division basis. -Usual practice of WBS are using three division levels which are “Deliverables oriented (Structure or products, functional system, physical area and proof of capability)”, “Schedule oriented (normally referring to a task or activity and sequential/ phases)” and “Resource oriented (disciplines, administrative units and financial accounts)”. -So again, no matters how you do it by codes or groups fields or using the WBS field as long as you define the structure into manageable level and represent the project deliverable that will contribute to success of the project. -Most of my work is in building construction, so maybe the fact that I like codes better is biased by my work. -But if sometimes you need to see activities organized by floor; sometimes by trade; other time by trade within each floor, etc. There’s no way to do that except with codes. -Do other lines of work have the same need or is it enough for you to squeeze into a rigid WBS and limit reports and analisys to that single point of view? -what I believe it says is that progranmmes should be structured in such a way as to enable sorting in a logical and affective manner thus enabling the team to ascertain an accurate picture of the progress of the works and the elements that make up the works. -"for hard planning thinkers"?? they don’t know how to use codes? -WBS show the heirarchy of Scope of work and deliverables. -WBS is the standard for PMI, PMP, Planning Professional. -It is very clear in PMI influence or way of project management in general and planning in particular way of managing project. -So for hard planning thinkers, WBS is the preference. -I think the need and importance of structure in a schedule is clear and proven. The point now is how. -I prefer primavera codes over WBS or outlines. Codes are much more flexible and let you organize activities in different ways to analize different aspects of a schedule. WBS an outlines are rigid. -Of course you can use both at the same time, but unless I´m forced by a client, I don´t use a WBS, but codes. -It’s just a simple divide and conquer technique. It a way to go from general to specifics. It’s like writing a book first you have the outline the going to the details and contents.In a way it helps in organizing a project and simplify the job of a planner. -Breakdown Structure - Work, Cost, Organization..whatever it is..It is important! I think nobody is using a one liner schedule! -Just to explain more on WBS. As I have said on the other thread (Work Breakdown Structure is a results-oriented family tree that captures all the work of a project in an organized way. It is often portrayed graphically as a hierarchical tree; however, it can also be a tabular list of "element" categories and tasks or the indented task list that appears in your Gantt chart schedule). Meaning it can be shown on a different approach or style as long as it became meaningful and useful to other member of project management. It defines as a level of schedule to make it more sensible and manageable. It is used to define the project objectives with sufficient detail information into more detail groups of scope or task. Some planner/ scheduler used activity codes as their WBS and others are just the first 1, 2, 3 or 4 character of their activities. -Proper schedules are using this technique according to their own methods so they can level their schedule to more manageable levels. -On my own view “schedule without the proper work breakdown structure is going nowhere or meaningless as its does not show the sensible picture of the project”. -Any serious program must have some kind of organization so it is usable for control. -WBS is one way, but there’s also activity codes. -The more detail that you want to see (monitor), the more important the WBS. A formal and logical structure helps capture the project data (activity type, resourcing, costing, progress etc.) in the most appropriate "pigeon-hole". -Work 1: “Sunspot”, Sun and Reflection project in the main atrium’s roof light. -The atrium is the school’s central space,- a “maelstrom” of pupils that move around and up and down the various floors. The space is experienced as living and varied because of the changes in daylight and the seasons. “Sunspot” is a shape on the glass roof, inspired by gas explosions, and placed according to calculations of the sun’s movement. When the sun is shining, the spot will spiral down in the rotunda, all the way to the ground floor floor and then spiral back up again(in relation to the path of the sun). -It contributes to visualising the movement in this space, but at a completely different pace to the other users. Each day it with be slightly different from the preceding one. -The title of this project was originally its working title, but I decided to keep it. It is slightly humoristic and a bit pedagogical since what one sees through these objects is like being on the inside of a pair of eyes. One gets association of entering the mouth of a large fish or whale. -The work is made up of a Fresnel lens on the outside(towards the outside) making the world turn upside-down or distort faces close-up. A mirrored tube runs through the wall and that distorts even more, and on the inner walls are large circular surfaces that have ‘running’ lights around the edge and a changing circle of colour like an iris. On the inside there are also lenticular films that diffuse the view depending on how one moves through the vestibule. -LED-programming and technology delivered by Jarle Henriksen. -Traveling through Virginia to visit a close friend and family, I parked my car in Richmond. I heard of a great southern tradition that sounded delicious. I had to give it a try before venturing off on the road again to my next destination. Sally Bells Kitchen, opened 90 years ago in 1924. The establishment was founded by Sarah Cabell Jones and a business partner. Sarah and partner met at the Women’s Exchange, a former nationwide movement, intended to teach women skills and financial independence. -Sally Bells Kitchen is known for their delicious boxed lunches. Items such as potato salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, deviled eggs, cheese wafers and an array of cup cakes are made fresh from scratch daily. They sell thousands of sandwiches, cupcakes and hundreds of pounds of salads each year. This establishment is very welcoming, friendly and certainly has southern charm. The staff is just wonderful! -The OTR 1840 is a CWDM Fiber Optic to SDI transmitter and receiver combined in a compact self contained package. It is a convenient and cost effective solution to combat the restrictions involved with the distribution of uncompressed broadcast quality video signals over long distances. -Each OTR 1840 CWDM tranceiver has an independant transmitter and receiver channel, which provides an effective solution for any SDI signal up to 1080p60 (3Gbit/s) while preserving full uncompressed quality. Select from 18 transmitter wavelengths for full CWDM compatibility (ITU-T G.694.2). -The OTR 1840 will auto-detect and re-clock any 270Mbit / 1.5Gbit and 3Gbit SDI source prior to conversion. The module is fully compatible with 3Gbit Level A and Level B formats. -T he popular YouTuber Lilly Singh who is more prominent as Superwoman is genuinely making marks. Apart from all the social work and impressive collaborations, Lilly has now released a music video. Although nobody was quite expecting it from her, the rap song is definitely on fire. But what makes this song grab attention worldwide is that she brought into light what Bollywood songs would look like if they were turned into a woke rap. -Choosing three songs from the industry, Superwoman gave them a whole new meaning and added her unique beats alongside it. Needless to say, this version highlights the blatant misogyny in the Bollywood music industry. -The internet just can not seem to get enough of Superwoman’s empowering reinterpretation of their favorite Bollywood songs. The YouTuber released her own music video titled If Bollywood Songs Were Rap, with a compilation of three different hit songs. However, she added her own touch to it, and did not just translate the lyrics. There is much more to hear as Lilly has touched upon topics like unrealistic beauty standards of women, mental health issues, bisexuality and so much more. -Lilly Singh has chosen three hit songs including Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai, All Izz Well and Aankh Marey. Apparently, her new rap version is everything that Bollywood never tells you about. Or everything that the entertainment industry gets wrong about women. Superwoman has smashed stereotypes with this new touch. Plus, she completely slayed the rap game. -While sharing the song, Lilly claimed that she loves Bollywood and rap music. So, she decided to make an impact by turning her favorite ones into rap. But she wanted to do more so she added positive and empowering messages into them. -Lilly Singh aka Superwoman is a very popular YouTuber who has a massive following on the platform. She has ventured into various fields doing comic sketched, impressive collaborations including ones with Dwayne Johnson and Priyanka Chopra, and music videos.

And for that reason, motorists need to maintain their situational awareness using Think 6, Look 6 whenever they stop to refuel. -Below are just four recent examples of fires, explosions or spills which occurred at gasoline stations over the last few weeks. These nicely make the point that drivers need to be ever-vigilent for danger - particularly where hazardous substances are present. -+ The first example occured on August 19 at a petrol station in St. Augustine, Florida. A tanker truck was delivering 8,800 gallons of gasoline, when fuel overflowed and spilled to the ground before exploding. The driver of the tanker truck was seriously burned. -+ The second example happened on the 1st October when a fire broke out at the BP Garage on the A120 in Bradwell (UK) and completely destroyed the petrol station. -+ The third example occurred when a man fleeing from police crashed into a Chevron Petrol Station in Davie, Florida on 6th October. The crash led to an explosion which destroyed petrol pumps and three vehicles. -+ And in the most recent example, a driver cashed her car into a Route 18 gas station in Bridgewater (MA), severing the pump and causing a small amount of gas to spew from the ground. According to local police, the driver lost control of her vehicle because of wet conditions. -The National Academy of Engineering and the US National Research Council have released the interim report of the Committee on the Analysis of Causes of the Deepwater Horizon Explosion, Fire and Oil Spill. -The report includes preliminary findings and observations on various actions and decisions including well design, cementing operations, well monitoring and control actions, management oversight and general regulation. -The interim report is available by clicking here. -The commitee's final report is due for publication in June 2011. -Join us for crafts, egg hunt, music, candy, Bible Story, a snack and the Easter Bunny! -Celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with us at BOHBC! -Women of Joy, Pigeon Forge TN. -A fun event for kids ages 3 yr old through 5th grade, while parents enjoy a night out!

Depending on the bar, it’s actually pretty sweet. So I’ll warn you right off the bat that my version of this drink actually lives up to the name. If you don’t like your drinks sour, just add some simple syrup to taste to sweeten it up. It’s a straightforward drink, but the blood orange adds a fun (and colorful!) twist. Blood oranges are only available for a couple of months, though, so get ’em while you can. If you miss the availability window, just substitute regular orange juice. -Add blood orange, lime juice, and rum to a glass with 3 ice cubes, stir to mix. Add simple syrup to taste. -These look (& sound amazing!) Pinning them to try…off to find some blood oranges! -Tammy, good luck finding the blood oranges! I’ve seen them at Trader Joes and Whole Foods lately. -Interesting. A sour with rum… I love the idea. Sounds dangerous though… rum goes down a little too easy. -PH21 Gallery as a new contemporary photography exhibition space was established in the Szkene Theatre at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

Enjoy your friends. -Make lots of special memories. -I found that more often than not, I wanted to put my development environment inside of Docker, not just my running code. My editor has plugins that help me browse documentation and check my syntax, but none of that works without installing additional stuff, and Docker has made me quite averse to installing anything on my host system. -So, I started stringing together Docker commands to do what I wanted, and I grew frustrated at all the copy/paste, and thought: There’s gotta be a better way. -If you’re interested in how it does this, see the nitty gritty details. -Go to the releases page. -Make sure it’s executable and in your path. ---type go - select the default version (1.6) of the pre-configured Go image. ---type python --version 2.7 - select the 2.7 version of the pre-configure Python image. -Currently, go, clojure, and python are baked in. More will come. -create - Creates an environment. -connect - Connect to an environment. -destroy - Destroys an environment and its home directory. -rebuild - Rebuilds an environment, preserving the environment’s home directory. -run - Creates an environment and immediately connects to it. -start - Starts an environment. -stop - Stops an environment. -inspect - Shows details about an environment as a JSON dump. -list - Lists existing environments. -images - Lists base images or user specific images. -Ensure that the skegio/python:3.5 image is pulled. -Ensure that the skeg ssh key is present. If not, one is generated. -Build an image based on skegio/python:3.5 which includes a user matching the host user. -Start a container running sshd that mounts ~/skegs/myapp in as the user’s home directory and the current directory in as a subdirectory. -Do I have to use one of the pre-configured images? -Not at all. You can create your own image and use it by specifying the -i flag to skeg create or skeg run. For now, your image needs to be based on skegio/base (like nate/aws), but that will change as skeg gets more sophisticated. -Why does skeg run the container as a long running process and connect over SSH rather than only for the lifetime of a process? -Development environments live longer than a single process, and they often involve many processes. Juggling these processes within an SSH session is a well understood problem with great solutions (like tmux), so for familiarity skeg takes the same approach. -Also, there are many times where additional software needs to be installed and daemons run to try something out. A long running container is perfect for these situations. Skeg offers a rebuild command, which will destroy and create the docker container with the same environment home directory, making it easy to reset back to a known state. -​From left (back row) - Joshua Jones (captain) , Jada Jones, Iz Hustler, Christian Mason, Alyssa Inniss-Gittens, Christopher Cobley. -Four newcomers are in the Barbados team for the 2016 Caribbean Junior Golf Championships which tee-off on Tuesday morning at the Barbados Golf Club. -They include Jada Jones and Leiann Bynoe, who will play in the girls' 16-17 division, and boys Quinton Heljenek and Dominic Jordan in the boys' 11-13 division. -Other members of the 13-member team have all represented the island before in various Caribbean tournaments and will be looking to perform well at home in the three-day tournament. -Team captain Joshua Jones Jones said leading the team will be a new experience for him but he is hoping that playing on a course they know well will help them to stave off some stern competition expected from players from eight other Caribbean territories. -“ It is going to be a tough tournament but hopefully we can win.

It's that easy! -Whether it's because I've experienced a natural disaster or because I spent some of my formative years in the Boy Scouts I'm not sure, but events half a world away this week have re-enforced the notion that it's good to "be prepared". When we started using Trello for our product backlog earlier this year , I thought it was probably overkill trying to get an automated backup of our data, since it was being operated by Fog Creek who have a great reputation in the industry, but I ploughed on regardless and yesterday that preparation paid off. -We normally use Trello during our Sprint Review to recap user stories and acceptance criteria and one such meeting occurred at the same time Fog Creek were valiantly trying to keep the service going as New York was battered by Hurricane Sandy. Normally this wouldn't have mattered as we keep paper copies on our scrum board, but for the first time in 13 sprints we were doing our review in Auckland, so these weren't much use. -So there we were, mid review, far from home, no story cards, and Trello is going up and down like a whores draws. Compared to what the poor people in the NE United States were going through this was obviously not a big deal, but with a little bit of contingency planning it was a trivial task to fire up Google Drive, open our Trello backup spreadsheet and continue with our review. -This outage and the ongoing benefit we get from being able to print story cards from the backup spreadsheet means that it has totally repaid the time I spent writing the script - if you're using Trello for user stories, and you haven't done so already then go set the script up now - there's nothing to lose and everything to gain. -It's also a timely reminder to look at all your digital data and think about what would happen if you didn't have access to it, or worse still, lost it permenantly. If your house burned down by a fire, would you lose all the photos of your kids? If your favourite web service went under (financially rather literally) and took your data with them, then what would the impact be? -It doesn't take much to get yourself in good shape - get a good automated offsite backup (I use Crashplan) to handle your files, and periodically back up your online data to another service, or even to a local PC and you should be good to go. -Oh, and if you happen to live in the pacific ring of fire, tornado alley, somewhere hot and dry, or indeed anywhere on our rapidly warming planet that has "weather" you might want to generally be prepared so that in any eventuality, you manage to Get Thru. -Achetez la dernière collection de Gta avant qu' elle ne soit vendue!

Duisburg - Germany. -” It may seem surreal, but as work continues to decommission damaged reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant–a project that involves 7,000 or so workers–tours of the complex by outsiders are becoming increasingly popular. -By the end of last September, or four-and-a-half years since the nuclear accident triggered by the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami disaster, some 16,000 people had visited. -Initially, visitors to the stricken facility were mainly politicians and specialists. But more recently, ordinary citizens are taking part as radiation levels have fallen at the plant site. -Nineteen university students took a tour last November. The bus they rode took them past large tanks holding contaminated water as well as a massive piece of equipment attached to a reactor building to extract nuclear fuel. Throughout the visit, workers wearing protective clothing and face masks could be seen. -The tour was organized by a group called AFW, which stands for Appreciate Fukushima Workers. Led by Akihiro Yoshikawa, 35, a former employee of Tokyo Electric Power Co., operator of the stricken plant, the group began escorting tours by residents living along the Pacific coast of Fukushima Prefecture from 2015. A major objective of the tours is to show residents what decommissioning involves. -“If ordinary citizens abandon interest, the plant site will be further shut off from the rest of the world,” Yoshikawa said. -He said that 140 or so people had participated in the seven tours organized to date. -Iwaki resident Kaori Suganami, 39, took part in a tour last June. -Because of the core meltdowns at the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors, high levels of radiation continue to be emitted. This makes it very difficult to approach those three reactors. -Elsewhere, though, rubble that was strewn throughout the plant grounds due to the tsunami generated by the magnitude-9.0 Great East Japan Earthquake has been removed, and radiation levels in many areas have dropped significantly. Ground surfaces have been paved and trees felled, which has also helped lower radiation levels. -According to TEPCO, about 900 people visited in the first year after the nuclear accident. Since then, the annual number of visitors has continued to increase. Local residents joining the tours also grew in number. About 3,700 people visited the plant in the first half of fiscal 2015. Of that number, about 250 were from Fukushima Prefecture. -Unlike workers at the plant site, visitors are not required to wear heavy protective gear. The basic getup is cotton gloves, disposable face masks and special footwear. Visitors are required to carry dosimeters. To reduce radiation exposure, visitors remain on the bus for large parts of the tour. Radiation exposure after an hour is in the range of 10 microsieverts, which is about 1 percent of the maximum additional radiation exposure of 1 millisievert established for the general population. -In April 2014, TEPCO established a visitation center at the Fukushima plant and two to three groups consisting of individuals 18 or older are allowed in daily. But not just anyone is allowed on the tours. “An overall assessment is made after considering such factors as the objective of the visit,” said a TEPCO official. -The decommissioning work is expected to take decades. -” FUKUSHIMA–Fukushima Prefecture’s population has declined by 5.7 percent since 2010, its largest recorded drop and the cause of a widening gender gap in some areas, according to national census figures announced on Dec. 25. -The population drop is mainly due to ongoing evacuations following the Fukushima nuclear disaster, according to the preliminary figures released by the prefectural government. -The prefecture lost 39,715 men and 75,743 women, a decrease of 4 percent and 7.3 percent from 2010, respectively. The difference is thought to have been caused partly by the majority male presence in reconstruction efforts. -The national census figures are the first released by the prefectural government since the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, which triggered the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant. -Fukushima prefecture’s population as of Oct. 1 stood at 1,913,606, down 115,458, or 5.7 percent, from the last census in 2010. -Among the six towns and villages where the entire population has left under evacuation orders, four towns recorded zero inhabitants: Okuma and Futaba, which co-host the nuclear plant, and nearby Tomioka and Namie. -The village of Katsurao had 18 people who have returned to their homes after being evacuated. They are recorded as temporary residents, but the central government is working to make their resettlement permanent. Katsurao’s evacuation order is scheduled to be lifted next spring. -Naraha, where an evacuation order was lifted on Sept. 5, also experienced a massive decrease in its population, with 976 people living in the area, down 6,724 people, or 87.3 percent, from 2010. The figures illustrate the fact that few evacuees have opted to return home. -The town of Hirono, where a large portion of the population is involved in nuclear reactor decommissioning work, tallied a male population of 2,746, up 2.3 percent from 2010. The female population, on the other hand, was about half that figure at 1,577, down 42.3 percent. -The population figures are based on the number of people living in the prefecture as of Oct. 1, irrespective of whether they are registered as local citizens. -” Tokyo Electric Power Co., the utility that runs the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant, has opened a rest area and canteen for cleanup workers, more than four years after the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. -Tokyo Electric has been widely criticized for its treatment of workers and handling of the cleanup, which is expected to take decades. A Reuters investigation in 2013 found widespread labor abuses, including workers who said their pay was skimmed and spoke of scant scrutiny of working conditions at the plant. -“We have taken various steps to cut accidents, including Tokyo Electric itself working more with contractors on the ground,” Akira Ono, Fukushima plant manager, told Reuters. -These houses available for you right here and no one else in be able to provide you with them that have been confidently built by the best Home Builders in Wichita.

Not too easy is it? This is basically what your SS has to accomplish with it's stock intake system. Now take a deep breath without that straw in your mouth (for those of you that live in a smog-choked area like Los Angeles or New York City, the State of California wants you to know that this action might be harmful to your health). If you live in a clean area of your state or country, you should feel heartily refreshed afterwards. This is how your SS will feel after you chop the stock intake system and add a new system to help it breath easier. -There are many alternatives to get more outside air into your motor, as it is optimal to duct in cooler, more oxygen-rich fresh air, rather than drawing hot oxygen-poor air from the engine compartment with an open-element air cleaner. One in particular that will use a minimum of duct work to direct airflow, is to install a cowl induction or ram-air hood so the engine can draw air directly from the outside of the engine compartment. An added benefit of an induction hood (be it "ram-air" style, cowl induction style, or via a hood scoop) is that as you drive faster, more air is pressurized in the intake tract, thereby "force feeding" your motor an additional charge of air, proportional to the amount of air the engine needs. Plus an induction hood just has that timeless hotrod appeal that oozes with coolness. -For this buildup, I chose a cowl induction hood, to give my 454SS a look that dates back to it's muscle car heritage in the SS Camaros, Chevelles, and the like, and to keep it smooth and clean. Some other hotrodders might prefer a later-model Camaro-style ram-air hood. Others might find they need a hood scoop to clear some air cleaner assemblies. It is nothing more than the preference of the buyer. -One consideration that is not simply preference is hood material. Realistic, affordable hoods are made out of two materials: steel or fiberglass. Steel hoods are typically more rigid and heavier than glass hoods, and most are a direct bolt-on for the stock hood. Steel hoods also do not require retaining pins on the front of the hood in most instances. There is some variance of quality but most steel hoods are of good to excellent quality, and your body man is probably better suited to work with steel than glass. On the other hand, fiberglass does not rust. Fiberglass does not dent. You can pick up a fiberglass hood (even a superb quality hood). By yourself. A good quality bolt-on glass hood also does not need hood pins to keep it retained. A great quality glass hood costs about the same or less than a steel hood, and due to the lighter weight, costs less to ship. Glass is my choice. Our options- and metal-laden 4800 pound (most of which is in the front) 454SS's need all the weight reduction they can get. Choose your material. Goodmark makes some of the best steel cowl hoods at glass-competitive prices which feature a 2" rise, cowl screen, and boasts an extremely OEM-like fit. They can be reached at 770-339-8557, website www.goodmarkindustries.com. Harwood is THE name in auto fiberglass and Lexan, and they can be reached at 1-800-882-7223, website http://www.martelbros.com/harwood/harwood. -Now with your hood selected and delivered, it is time to fit it on your vehicle. Steel hoods, if you bought a good quality one, should fit right onto the stock hinges, and only require adjustment and possibly some shimming to get the hood in the proper location before you prime and paint. Steel will typically come with a protective black paint coat to prevent rust during shipping. Goodmark notes that their protective coat is meant to be sprayed over, like POR-15 rust preventer is. -Fiberglass requires more prep work. Unlike steel, fiberglass hoods are not stamped out, and thus, must be trimmed, sanded and otherwise fit to the specific vehicle it is being installed on. First, you must remove the stock hood and hinge springs. If it is a bolt-on hood, operating like the one you are removing from the truck, you will be using all of the hardware from the stock hood on the new hood (a sidenote: unless you are building an all-out race truck, you will probably want the bolt-on hood rather than the lift-off or pin-on style hood that requires removal of the hood every time you want to access the engine bay). Now, lay on the new hood and check for fit. The edges of the hood will need to be trimmed. This may be done with a block sander and coarse sanding paper (80 to 120 grit). Sand off a little, then check again, sand a little more and check, etc. until you have the proper fit and finish. Our trucks have a cowl vent between the hood and windshield. Harwood recommends trimming the back edge of the hood to fit this cowl vent as the stock hood did. Once the hood fits perfect, you are now ready to bolt it on the hinges. Bolt it to the hinges, and the hinges to the truck, and check again for clearance. -Included with earlier style Harwood hoods and some other lesser-known brands of hoods is a prop rod. This is intended to hold the hood up, basically taking the place of the hinge springs, as the springs will not be re-used (for steel hoods and for some glass hoods, like the revised Harwood hoods, they are, but most other glass hoods will not withstand this usage). Install the prop rod on the radiator support rail. Harwood said this prop rod is a universal fit, so it is necessary to trim it to fit. Position it in the middle of the hood so as to prevent the hood from twisting while it is on the prop rod. If you position the prop rod to the side, you run the risk of twisting and cracking the hood or paint job. -For the later, revised Harwood hoods the company notes that prop rods are not necessary. I spoke with Ray Martel, president of Martel Brothers Performance who owns Harwood, and he said that the bolt-on hoods for many applications have been redesigned and strengthened, allowing one to use the stock hinge springs. If you do not receive a prop rod with your hood, it does not need one, he says. -Now you are ready to install the hood latch and spring on the front of the hood. Position the hood and adjust it in using the bump stops and adjustment screws. Check again for fit and operation. -After you drive around for a week (or if you are like me, let it sit in the sun for about a week and a half) with an unfinished hood sitting atop your otherwise pristine SS, to allow the gelcoat to stabilize and the fiberglass agents to bond and cure, your truck is now ready to be shipped off to your body shop for finishing, priming, and painting. -J Health Polit Policy Law (2003) 28 (5): 859-882. -Home care services funded by Medicare and Medicaid grew rapidly throughout most of the 1990s. During this period some state Medicaid programs transferred costs for home care claims to the Medicare program to reduce their liability and increase beneficiary access to Medicare coverage. This article reports the findings of the first national study of these Medicare maximization billing practices for home care services. Primary data were collected to determine which states conduct retrospective Medicare billing practices and the amounts recovered from Medicare. Our analysis indicates that seven states recovered as much as $265 million from Medicare in state and federal dollars during the 1990s. Ratios of recovered expenditures-to-costs incurred for retrospective billing practices conducted in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts are between 5:1 and 7:1. While retrospective billing practices may aid states in reducing Medicaid outlays and potentially help dual Medicare beneficiaries gain coverage for their home care claims, they increase Medicare expenditures for home care at a time of concern for the long-term financial viability of Medicare and illustrate the need for reforming our national long-term care financing policy. -Sign up to Lineout to stay up to date with all of the latest RUPA news / Thanks for subscribing! -With Rugby World Cup (“RWC”) underway the eyes of the world are on our sport. One of the most topical debates across all contact sports is the issue of concussion management. -All stakeholders will be looking forward to a RWC in which players, medical personnel and team support staff play their part in managing this important aspect of player welfare. Rugby is making significant progress in the detection and management of concussion and it will be important that other professional rugby competitions move to adopt the standards set for RWC 2015. Rugby should not see the management of concussion as a risk at RWC, but an opportunity to demonstrate how far the game has come in recent times. -The International Rugby Players Association (“IRPA”) is constantly thinking about what more can be done to further improve the games ability to manage the issues associated with concussion. -Effective from 1st August 2015 after a successful global trial period at elite level, World Rugby has now formally introduced a temporary substitution rule. This applies to any player who is removed from the field of play to undertake a Head Injury Assessment (HIA) when it is unclear if that player has a suspected concussion. -Having the ability to remove a player from the action and from the cauldron of a packed stadium, to undertake a thorough clinical assessment and video review of an incident, in a private controlled environment, makes good practical sense. Previously players in this situation would often go untreated, or be checked over briefly on field using questionable methods. -World Rugby and other key stakeholders are leading a real culture shift amongst professional players, coaches and medical personnel in relation to peer pressure to play. Recent statistics back this up. Research has underpinned the HIA process throughout. Prior to the temporary substitution trial, 56 per cent of players with a confirmed concussion remained on the field following their injury. Now that figure is less than 12 per cent (British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2014) and the hope is that following continued refinement of the HIA process we will see further improvement in 2015 and beyond. -A key point lost on many but one that IRPA believes is fundamental to a conservative management approach is that a player is now removed once the attending medics confirm a diagnosis of suspected concussion. This takes the pressure off trying to make a definitive diagnosis of concussion during a high-pressured game. That does mean players will be removed who have not suffered a concussion, but better the conservative approach. -Thankfully the message is getting through and along with World Rugby’s #RecogniseAndRemove campaign, the games stakeholders are realising that it is not just the player’s responsibility but its coaches, referees, and team support staffs obligation to step in if they suspect a concussion has occurred. -Whilst IRPA see this as a positive step, it is one that needs to be continually developed and filtered down to the community game where awareness and education on the subject is not yet at the same level. -Medical specialist in concussion monitoring individual cases. -Additionally, IRPA is very supportive and engaged on the work that is being undertaken on the laws of the game to ensure the risks of on-field instances that result in serious injury, including concussive events, are minimised. -There is much conjecture on if rugby, and concussions sustained playing the game, lead to long-term cognitive health issues. From a player’s perspective IRPA does not want that debate to be a distraction from making sure the right thing is done by the players now. IRPA believes that the game should be doing all it can to ensure the welfare and health of the player is an ongoing priority. -So what of the future and in particular the debate of using new technologies to take human error out of the equation? One such advancement that may justify further research and refinement is the use of sensors to help aide team doctors with real-time data. It could provide insight into accelerations and forces that they may not have seen first-hand particularly where the player has either not recognised a head knock, chosen not to seek medical assistance or suffered signs and symptoms post game. The sensor does not diagnose a concussion but rather provides accurate previously unavailable live information which combined with testing (HIA) and baseline data can aid in a clinical diagnosis. In the same way team support staff use other data like heart rates and GPS data, the sensor can provide data to assist medical personnel make informed decisions regarding concussion management. -From a player welfare perspective, IRPA believes the pressure put on players to return to play to preserve their contracts and the rehabilitative support provided to players recovering from a concussion are areas that should be looked at further. -Ensuring a players contractual terms and conditions are supportive during times of serious injury is fundamental. It allows the player the opportunity to fully recover without the added pressure or threat of having his or her salary or match payments stopped, or worse, the contract terminated. In this respect physical injuries are more obvious and certain, concussion in its very nature is obscure and invisible. Currently there are no set guidelines around minimum standards for players’ contractual terms and conditions. IRPA feels that the time is right to address this, not just because of the issues around concussion, but to maintain the integrity and reputation of the game. -For those players who endure concussion complications either as part of their return to play process, or following a decision to stop playing, there seems little available to aide recovery beyond rest and time – which for an active professional athlete can be a very uncertain and sometimes depressing experience. IRPA would support more research into identifying rehabilitation techniques and programs to help in the resilience building and recovery process, and to ensure they are readily understood and available throughout the game. -World leading player welfare standards are a priority in building the legacy of our sport. It is fundamental to the integrity of the game and to those who participate in it. IRPA is looking forward to continuing to work with World Rugby to bring about the culture change and to enhance the education and regulatory framework that ensures rugby leads the way on concussion management globally. -The Rugby Union Players' Association (RUPA) will continue to take a proactive and collaborative approach to concussion prevention and management in Australia sport, as part of its involvement with the Australian Athletes' Alliance (AAA). -Every week, RUPA collates five of the best features from the week’s Rugby media and bring them to you in the one convenient location. -Charlie Fetoai: Jack of all trades; master of plenty! -Former Reds centre Charlie Fetoai was seriously injured in 2009 and told he could never play Rugby again.

A North Shore treasure, the 1920 historic theater was closed and its future unknown until a group of local visionaries found a way to purchase the building and revive performances in 2014. -The initiative to save the theater, and initial performances and events, enjoyed widespread and enthusiastic community support. Under the leadership of a new executive director and dedicated Board, much-needed improvements to the physical structure and expanding organizational capacity began. -In order to fully realize the potential of this extraordinary moment in time, The Cabot needed new visual and verbal tools that reflected its promise in image and action and could be used to create alignment around a shared vision for the future, address the immediate development need and, critically, create momentum and energy to meet its fundraising goals. -Minelli, Inc. worked with key stakeholders and leaders to articulate a strong brand and bring that brand to life, highlighting the Cabot Theater’s timeless beauty and transcendent experiences that evoke the power of memory, creating food for the soul and nourishment for the future. -You are buying one beautiful piece of Manzanita driftwood averaging 7 to 10 inches long by 2 " to 3" wide (as seen in the picture) with a full Anubias coffeefolia grown on it. The Anubias Coffeefolia will have 5 or more leaves. -Anubias barteri var. coffeefolia is a low cultivar of Anubias barteri. Its characteristic is that the leaves arch considerably between the leaf ribs, and the new leaves are red-brown. The color combination and leaf shape make it an attractive variety in both large and small aquariums. It flowers frequently under water but does not produce seeds. -Anubias barteri var. coffeefolia is not eaten by herbivorous fish. -I have a few of these available so you are not buying the exact piece shown in the picture but all the pieces will look just as good if not better than the one pictured. -The Western Shoshone call themselves Newe, “The People,” and they refer to their ancestral lands as Newe Sogobia, “The People’s Land.” After living on these lands for thousands of years, the Newe have spent the last 400 defending them from invasion and environmental destruction. Today, the U.S. government occupies much of the Newe Sogobia, using it as a domestic nuclear war zone. The Nevada Test Site was illegally seized from the tribe in the 1940s to use for nuclear weapons testing and as a dump for highly radioactive nuclear waste. Releases of radiation from the detonation of over 1000 nuclear weapons above and below the ground have resulted in cancer clusters and contamination in the communities downwind of the site – and beyond. Newe homelands have been turned into a National Sacrifice Area, or permanently poisoned lands. The latest threat to the Newe is the planned nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain located within the Nevada Test Site. The repository will accept over 75,000 tons of fuel rods and other high-level waste across roads and rails from 39 states and place it in a giant hole in the earth found to be seismically unstable and in contact with ground water. Plutonium, the most deadly man-made substance on earth, has a radioactive half-life of 250,000 years, and its nearby storage portends an unparalleled toxic peril for the next 12,000 generations living in the region. -Wherever Corbin Harney raises his voice, be it in song, in prayer, or in speech, be it at his homeland, at the UN, or in faraway Kazakhstan, his message is informed with the calm authority imbued him by the earth. In 1994, Corbin Harney founded the Shundahai Network (Shundahai is the Newe word for “peace and harmony with all creation”), a non-profit organization dedicated to breaking the nuclear chain by building alliances with indigenous communities and environmental, peace and human rights movements. They seek to abolish all nuclear weapons and end all nuclear testing, advocate phasing out nuclear energy and ending the transportation and dumping of nuclear waste, and promote the principles of Environmental Justice. Their campaigns and events incorporate the values of community building, education, spiritual ceremonies and nonviolent direct action. -I ask for moisture to fall upon us so the grass will start to grow. -what we humans tramp down. -we tramp it down so it’s flat on the ground. -together we have to ask for the rain to come down, so the grass will continue to grow. -Corbin Harney’s spiritual strength has become a fountainhead of inspiration for environmental activists around the world. His solution to end the Nuclear Age: we must live in vital, spiritual connection with the earth! -Anyone who has done a quick search on what to see in Norway certainly came across Preikestolen. It is one of the most popular hikes in the whole country. Not everyone experiences it the same way, however. Outdoor Life Norway is a guided service that offers guests a chance to see Pulpit Rock like most will never experience. The sunrise hike is an amazing way to up your chances of getting those stunning views without the crowds. If you truly want an original experience, though, go with their "Off the beaten track" tour. This hike begins with canoeing across a glacial lake to a long forgotten trail. Traverse the trail through multiple altitudinal zones and scramble up to the top of the fjord. There you can hike along until you reach your destination, a beautiful view of Preikestolen! There you can enjoy your view that majority of the hikers are missing. From there you will travel down to Pulpit Rock itself for some more photos. The trip down follows the more popular marked trail. If you are lucky enough, you may run into some of the Sherpas that have built the trails! If you're looking for more tours to fill up time in Norway, Outdoor Life Norway offers many guided services year round. -The land of fire and ice is an outdoor enthusiasts playground. Scuba diving in Silfra had been on my bucket list for years. It was a massive influence for me to get my PADI Open Water certification. Once I got my certification I remember my instructor asking me where I would go now that I could explore underwater paradises. I excitedly announced I'd be going to Iceland. He did not seem amused. "Don't you want to start somewhere... warmer?" I brushed off his remark as quickly as I whisked off my hood and booties. I had my mind made up. Silfra was my white whale and I finally had it in my headlights. When everything was booked, I was struck with panic. For years I had dreamed of Silfra, a place where you could swim between the North American and Eurasian continental plates. Would it be as spectacular as I had made it out to be?? Oh yes it was. The crystal clear glacial water is nearly ice cold and is filtered through lava creating over 300ft of visability. This quality of water means you can sip it while you're diving. It doesn't get fresher than that. Being able to say i've touched both continental plates at the same time in the only place in the world where you can dive directly in continental plate cracks is certainly bragging rights. I thought that would be the highlight of my cold swim in Silfra, but once I was in the water I forgot about the location. The dive was beyone beautiful with such distinct geographical features. The colors were jaw dropping. Though the dive itself was short, it's a dive that I could do over and over again. For those not scuba certified, many tour companies offer snorkeling excursions as well. Dive. Is. offers guests either option with photo services. -If you asked a stranger what came to mind when they thought of Iceland, volcanoes would make the list. This is definitely merited. The land has practically been completely molded by volcanic eruptions. If there's volcanoes you know there is lava, but Icelanders don't let it get them down. In fact, it gets them going. These hardened lava fields create the perfect backdrop for some serious mountain biking. These trails are not for the faint of heart. I may have overestimated my skills since I had been mountain biking in the past. I rated myself as an intermediate, which I quickly second guessed as soon as I saw people pull out their own peddles from perfectly packed Camelbaks. As nonchalantly as I could muster, I asked what the tour company's general client level was. My growing suspicion was confirmed. Most were season mountain bikers. I laughed in response to hide my surmounting fear. There was a good chance I may die in Iceland on a bicycle, I thought. There was worse ways to go I reasoned. It would make an interesting story, at least. Alas, I survived. Every part of my body may have hurt the next day, but something else was genuine as well. That was my smile. I signed up for a tour that I was not physically prepared for, but I did not regret it. It was a challenge that I overcame and I saw some stunning scenery along the way. -For those of you like me who are not expert mountain bikers, there are more appropriate tours to take. Icebike offers guests several options for different levels of experience. After seeing my lack of finesse in the lava fields, Icebike offered to take me to another location afterwards. I battled with my opposing feelings. Should I stick it out and do another lava field or should I opt for something different? The guide was very patient and genuinely wanted me to enjoy the experience that was right for me. I went with their recommendation. A part of me felt like a quitter until I saw the change of scenery. The lava fields were wild and otherworldly. The new scenery was as lush as if I had been plopped into Neverland itself. My bitter feelings instantly faded. Biking through the purple lupine fields was a magical end to a demanding day. My lesson of the day: Don't be afraid to try new things and have flexibility if they do not work out as perfectly as planned. My biking experience had more hiccups than I had predicted, but biking in Iceland was a once in a lifetime experience. -Utah snow is world famous. In a location with pristine snow and more resorts than one can choose from, how does one... well, choose?? I struggled with the dilemma during a recent visit. I was down to my last day and I had only seen two resorts. I wanted to end with a bang without draining my bank account on a lift ticket. I gave up and resorted to asking my local friend for direction. "You need to go to Sundance". Sundance? I was baffled. This resort had barely made my radar. While I had pondered the pyramid hierarchy of ski resort awesomeness for days, it took my friend no time at all to respond to me."Not Snowbird or Park City?" I bantered. Nope, he was firm. Well that settled my predicament. At the very least it would bring me some mental clarity since I no longer had to wrestle the decision. -If you go to Utah and don't visit Sundance Resort, you are doing it wrong. I immediately felt at home at this resort, as if I had been snowboarding there since I learned the difference between regular and goofy. In a world obsessed with modernizing everything, Sundance has made a point of preserving that nostalgic ski culture that we all love and miss. Okay, so the staff is nice. Is that a good enough reason to opt for Sundance over a larger resort? In retrospect, Sundance is one of the smaller resorts, but the views are not. I almost fell off the chairlift gawking at the scenery. From the base to the peak, every corner of the resort offered views that even Ansel Adams would have to stop and photograph. The character didn't stop at the lodge. The terrain kept me smiling from trail to trail. Feeling hungry? Stop at the peak for the most scenic nachos in the game. The Bearclaw Cabin is the only mountaintop lodge in Utah. If the sun is out, opt to sit outside in one of the zero gravity chairs. Sun and snow, can you beat it? If you want a resort with big hearts, big views, and a touch of home, you need to go to Sundance Resort. -The sunshine state usually cultivates images of lazy beach towns with a weird abundance of shaggy-haired surfers with names like "Zander" or "Brock". If you don't think of surfing, chances are you think of a retirement home paradise with every pm dinner special you could imagine. I am not here to knock your idea of Florida, because both scenes I just described exist in North Florida. I mean what's wrong with eating your food truck burrito while your barefoot at a reasonable time so hard to get on board with? You have time for dessert and digestion before you catch those zzz's! This is a battle meant for another day. If you aren't into shredding the gnar or attending senior bingo, you may wonder what Florida has to offer other than concrete amusement parks. Rejoice my friends because I have a solution. Though it may not be topping your vacation brochures, Florida offers great places for paddle sports. These sports can be enjoyed by any age group. Are you a seasoned kayaker looking for a challenge? Opt to try paddle boarding instead for a great core workout that perfects your balancing skills. Are you more into the outdoors just to get a tan? Select a tandem kayak and make your buddy do the brunt of the work. I know this because I've been the recipient of this. As I paddled with all my might in Norway and wondered why we weren't going faster, my friend Randy sat behind me happily snapping photos enjoying the fruits of my labor. I did not learn my lesson, however, since here I am recommending his devious plan to all of you. Just make sure your friend takes the front seat and doesn't read this passage. You're welcome. -The Aloha state is paradise: sunny, laid-back, umbrella drinking mai-tai kind of paradise. Though many people come here to do nothing more than read their book on the island's 30 miles of beaches, Maui can also be an adventure hot spot. I mean literally. The highest peak on the island is the world's largest dormant volcano. The impressive Haleakala volcano never ceases to draw in outdoor enthusiasts from around the globe. Want to feel like Hawaiian royalty? Opt to catch a mesmerizing sunrise from it's peak. Haleakala National Park offers guests more than just the star of the show. The park offers beach access but my favorite swimming spot of the entire Maui trip was dunking into the Seven Sacred Pools, or the Pools of 'Ohe'o. If mermaids emerged from the depths, I would have thought it perfectly normal. I loved being able to climb up to a series of the falls and sit under the cool,flowing water as I looked out at the ocean. Some pools are more popular and accessible than others. As I mentioned, the pools flowed into the Pacific so that contrast in scenery was fantastic. Pack a picnic to make a great day of pool adventures. Swimming does not get more exotic than this. After you have your fill of swimming, continue hiking through Haleakala National Park to dry off. Your efforts will be rewarded when you reach a stunning bamboo forest. You may think you accidentally arrived on another continent with the landscape change. -Haleakala is not to be missed and you can access it off of the famous Road to Hana. The road itself merits a few days to explore. Opt for a convertible so you can soak up as much roadside scenery as you can. If you are still craving big views, end your trip with a cherry on top. A helicopter tour of Maui may not be the most physical tour you can do, but I promise you will be feeling the adrenaline. The tour gives you access to views you would never be able to see otherwise. Get close to peaks and waterfalls alike. The views are breathtaking and you may just get the feeling that you are about to be dropped off in Jurassic Park. -I can never be satisfied with doing everything just like everyone else. If I am going to a stereotypical tourist spot. I need to have an element that is different. While doing my research for antelope canyon, I found just what I was looking for to satisfy my stubborn self. Hidden Canyon Kayak was Arthur and the day trip through Antelope Canyon was my sword in the stone. At first I was a bit disappointed to see how large my group size was. In the past I have been spoiled with much smaller guide to tourist ratios in my travels. Once in the water, however, the problem dispersed as quickly as waves off my boat. The guides were good at accomodating people of all ability levels. As a frequent kayaker, I had a much faster pace than most. The guides recognized this, and made sure I did not feel restrained. Once we reached antelope canyon, we were released to explore the slot canyon on our own to a certain point. Again, I was happy to hear this since I much preferred being alone than attached to families I didn't know. It was a thrill to be able to skip, run, and even sing if I wanted to down these beautiful corridors. I loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone. The guides were relatable and I enjoyed my time talking to them. My only recommendation is if you are an experienced kayaker, let the guides know ahead of time and they will bring you a touring kayak. Compared to my kayak at home, the kayak I was given made me feel like I was moving through mud. Avoid this and request a more efficient boat. They just don't like to assign them to someone who is not experienced and has a higher chance to tip the narrow boats. -Have you ever thought that mountain biking is cool, but it would be so much cooler to bike on Mars? I can't say i've been on this train of thought before, someone out there has been. To them I say, Mars is too far away. Sure you can keep fantasizing about the day that Richard Branson and Elon Musk unite like superheroes and create martian colonies complete with lotteries to fuel us basic humans with dreams of dual planet citizenship. Okay, maybe I have thought of this before. I digress. Biking in Page, Arizona may be the closest alternative. Really, the place is out of this world! So aren't my puns. Accessible right from town, I was told by a local to check out the Rimview trail. I stopped at a local shop, Lake Powell Paddleboards, and rented a mountain bike. A quick overview of a map and a heeding message of "there are parts of the trail that if you get hurt or can't finish, no one can come get you"and I was off. A little skeptical of my skill after my warning, I wasn't sure how my day would go. Quickly into the trail, my reservations disappeared. It was easy to with the beautiful desert landscape. The "rimview" gets its name for a very specific reason. In parts you were on the very edge of the trail with a steep drop off. If it got too hairy, I simply walked. It was my best option since I was alone and if I got hurt, I didn't want to think of the desolate potential situation. The views of Lake Powell were breathtaking. What blew me away was that I had the trail virtually to myself. In a busy tourist town, I came across only two people my whole time biking. The two people were locals at that. It was my escape from vacation. A step away to truly take in a place. This was not without hard work, however. The trail had its difficult moments and was best suited for at least intermediate riders. If you are new, you at least have the ability to walk any dangerous spots. The heat is also draining. A lot of water and snacks for energy are a must. I can honestly say my lunch was well earned this day. -Donate to Stanmore Public School's Building Fund before June 30 and claim a deduction when submitting your tax return for this financial year. -Our Building Fund is a great opportunity to actively participate in the growth of your children’s school.

All seats in the upstairs room were taken (two of the north east’s finest six-stringers bagged prime seats) and the stage resembled the guitar section of your local musical instrument store. The Greater Manchester-based duo settled down to play the first of two mainly acoustic sets in a setting Walker later described as having ‘a good vibe’. -The material consisted of original compositions (a Schmazz prerequisite) and one or two standards. The opening number had an Americana feel to it, so it came as no surprise to learn it was Bill Frisell’s Where Do We Go? Walker, a man with an impressive cv – the big bands of Mike Gibbs and Kenny Wheeler, stints with Julian Arguelles and Nikki Iles, to his latest Anglo American project, the Impossible Gentlemen – shuffled a set list at will, suggesting to McCallum they do ‘Orpheus’. A change of guitar, some retuning, a bit of banter and into Luiz Bonfá’s Black Orpheus. This and the following number – All the Things You Are – exemplified Stuart McCallum’s penchant for reharmonizing tunes. Dark tones, dense improvisations, Walker picking up on McCallum’s initial foray, further solo invention, the seamless dovetailing of ideas. -A Walker composition – Wallenda’s Last Stand – inspired by the life story of a high wire walker’s final, fatal, do or die journey and McCallum’s The French Song illustrated their talents as tunesmiths. The second set heard McCallum’s Beholden and Walker’s Clock Maker. Walker introduced the latter number with a hilarious, true tale of his friend saxophonist Iain Dixon’s father’s clock making obsession. Imagine a house full of clocks – He made one every four minutes, said Walker – all primed to chime on the hour. It was Walker’s mission in life when visiting Dixon Snr to leave before the cacophonous clock chorus struck up! A distinct folk strand ran through the second set, notably McCallum’s tune inspired by a visit to the Shetlands and his authentic folk ballad Seasons. The one time student of Walker has gone on to work in a variety of contexts including a plum job with John Surman, tenure with the hip Cinematic Orchestra and work with Tim Garland’s Northern Underground Orchestra (including an appearance at the Durham Miners’ Gala a few years ago). This Schmazz gig was one for students of the guitar rather than one for the jazz guitar purist. -Earlier, pianist Paul Taylor played a solo set in the downstairs bar. The Tyneside-based Taylor developed ideas from an impressionist palette, quietly applying complementary hues to an uncluttered canvas. The audience listened intently, some seemingly holding a breath, such was the silence during a half hour improvisation. -Next month’s Schmazz concert at the Jazz Café departs from the usual last Tuesday in the month date. The double bill of Troyka and Pulcinella can be heard on Tuesday 15 July. -Great gig, very inspiring gig Mike! -Thoroughly enjoyable gig left the jazz cafe buzzing. Great tunes, great repartee, great music, great night. -injury We use a combination of techniques for the treatment of sprains, strains, painful or stiff joints as well as back and neck pain to promote your own self healing, bringing the body back into balance. -mobility We combine manual physiotherapy with individual exercises, gait re-education and relaxation techniques to gain better mobility. -health Keeping the body in a state of balance is the key to good health.

Till recently, it had been troublesome for cryptocurrency traders to realize exposure to stocks and commodities. Currency.com is trying to remedy that through launching the “Bitmex of stocks,” a crypto-friendly platform that guarantees high leverage and low barriers for entry. -in mid-January, news.Bitcoin.com reported onCurrency.com, a Belarus-based mercantilism platform for tokenized securities. Not like alternative platforms of this nature, Currency.com guarantees entry to retail investors and a marketplace of pronto tradable assets from day one.

At 8 months after her daughter was born, Amber took a leap of faith, quitting her job with only ONE CLIENT! Amber knew that focusing her time and energy on her business was the only way it would grow, and quitting her 9-5 turned out to be the best decision because it led her to her KILLER business. She is passionate about branding and business strategy and hosts her own podcast, and a two-day conference for women who want to take their life and career to the next level. -We were so inspired by her fierce work ethic, and wanted to create a website that reflected her passion. Amber wanted her site design to be bold, elegant, and CLEAR to visitors on exactly who she is. Amber had strong content and we loved getting to design a gorgeous website around it. Go Live did not design her main logo, but we designed the Ignite Your Soul logo (pictured above!) for an upcoming event and had so much fun with it. Here's a HUGE CONGRATS to Amber on the launch of her new website, and for turning her dream into a reality. -"My entire life has transformed as a result of the choice to pursue my dream and make the leap to launch my business." -Amber's story of courage and passion will inspire and encourage you in your own journey! -Amber: I have always been fascinated with human behavior, psychology and really understanding why people do what they do. I have been equally obsessed with helping people breakthrough their fears and roadblocks to live a more fulfilling and joyful life. I grew up witnessing the people I love struggle and made it my goal early on to create a different way of life for myself so I could make a positive impact on the lives of others by showing them what I learned. What better way to take ownership of your life than to match your work with the sacred mission? -Amber: I worked in collegiate athletics marketing for a decade and had the gift of contributing to the growth of a Division I athletics brand on a national scale. My career path there was incredibly entrepreneurial and I taught myself how to write sales copy, design websites and graphics and basically everything in between. I was also asked to teach at the university and mentor students throughout my career, both of these roles allowed me to hone and develop my craft as a coach. -Amber: The answers do not live out there, they come from within. I've spent thousands of dollars on coaches and programs and live events only to be guided on back to my own truth. I do not regret one penny spent or mile walked on this path, though, as it has helped me to become even better at what I do and more committed to the bigger mission of my life. -Amber: The funny thing about this question is that so many people DID tell me that "Everything I need is already within me." But, I didn't listen because I had to go on my own quest to find my way home to myself. I am so grateful for all of the people who patiently and lovingly stood by me on this journey, I am certain I will need them to continue to remind me of this message, once again, down the path. -GO LIVE: WHAT WAS THE MOMENT YOU HAD WHEN YOU SAID "I SHOULD DO THIS" OR WHAT MADE YOU TAKE THE LEAP INTO WORKING FOR YOURSELF? -Amber: I had known that I wanted to be a work from home mama well before I was pregnant, only I didn't know HOW it was going to happen. After my own near-death experience (aka wakeup call) during our daughter's birth, I knew that it was time to get serious about making this dream come true. I launched my business 8 months after she was born and quit my job with just one client on the books (crazy!?), but I knew that if I could welcome in one client, more would come and focusing my time/energy on my business was the only way to help it grow. Four years later, I am so grateful for that courageous former version of me. -GO LIVE: WHAT THINGS HAVE YOU GAINED, OR DO YOU HOPE TO GAIN, IN YOUR LIFE FROM FOLLOWING THIS DREAM? -Amber: I have my life, my health, my husband (we retired him from his police career in 2017), the memories with our daughter that I haven't had to miss a minute of, sacred friendships with people I would have never met, time with the people I love the most and a deep sense of fulfillment and personal growth that comes with it. My entire life has transformed as a result of the choice to pursue my dream and make the leap to launch my business. -Amber: I absolutely love your design work and the way you approach supporting visionaries like me in sharing our message and mission with the world. I so appreciate how you tend to the finite details while honoring the big vision and delivering a finished product that will make a massive impact. Our websites create a powerful experience for our future clients to feel fully witnessed as they take the next step on their journey. I am so thrilled with what we've created together. -It was time to pack up camp and head north. Our drive to New Bern/Beaufort area was only 2 hours; allowing ample time to do some exploring! -Our camping destination was Flanners Beach Campground, located in the Neuse River Recreation Area in eastern North Carolina. This campground sits on a bluff which overlooks Neuse River and only a half-hour drive to the quaint town of Beaufort, NC. -We made our way to our site which was perfect for us. It was a large with trees all around lending privacy. We were close to the bath house as well, very handy as there is no water/sewer service. After our site was set-up, it was back on the road for some adventure. -Tips: Bring your bikes as the trails are easy and beautiful. If it is summer, you may not want to count on cooling off in the river. The water would be considered not warm but hot and stays shallow for a long way out. It was a dismal experience. -Our first stop in Beaufort was the North Carolina Maritime Museum. We learned about this museum at the Crystal Coast Visitor Center back in May 2016 on our New Bern adventure and was told it was a “not-to-miss” museum for pirates fans! -The first thing we did when we arrived at the museum was watch a documentary on Blackbeard’s life history (and that of other pirates), and his exploits in the waters off North Carolina. It was very well done and kept the kids interested to the very end. The best part? Artifacts from Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge that we saw in the documentary are on display in the museum! -Helen Aitken, a volunteer at the front desk, greeted us warmly and offered to get Drake and Mia set-up with a clipboard and pencil so they could participate in the museum scavenger hunt. She also mentioned to them that if they completed it, she would allow them to touch a REAL whale heart. What better motivation is there? -The museum is chock-full of interesting exhibits documenting life at lighthouses and lifesaving stations, the NC seafood industry, and motorboats through the years. The highlight, of course, was the artifacts from Blackbeard’s wrecked flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge. You won’t see treasure (we learned Blackbeard removed all the good stuff when he ran aground) , however, you will see cannons, grenades, belt buckles and beads. Truly amazing to see! -When the kids were done with their scavenger hunt they went back to see Ms. Aitken. True to her word, she had them follow her to the whale heart exhibit. As she was telling us interesting facts about whales (did you know that the size of heart a whale is born with is the same size they’ll have as an adult?), a little crowd gathered around. Next, she opened up the display case and allowed everyone to gently touch the whale heart. Incredible! -Next, she pulled out a small jar of whale oil. Of course we all know that it was used for centuries for heating but I wasn’t as educated that it was also used in the auto industry. She rubbed a tiny amount on our hands to feel how incredibly silky the consistency was. It did have a pungent odor which I did identify as smelling before. Perhaps when my grandfather and father worked on vehicles many years ago. Ms. Aiken said that if you left it on for awhile the smell becomes similar to coconut oil. Not sure that I got that, but I can say it softened my skin! -Tip: Don’t forget to walk across the street to visit Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center where they teach boat-building for all ages. -By this time we were starving! On a recommendation from the Aitken’s, we made our way to Clawson’s 1905 Restaurant & Pub for lunch; located on the main drag; Front Street. Housed in the former Clawson’s Grocery building, the owners display historical memorabilia on the walls to help preserve this piece of Beaufort’s history. -The Aitken’s had mentioned the Seafood Bisque as being a “must-try” so we got a bowl to share. This creamy based soup with loads of scallops and shrimp was definitely a hit with Drake & Mia! I found it to be delicious as well. Too soon the bowl was empty and our main courses arrived. -I had the Flounder plate; a generous portion of lightly fried-golden fish paired with French fries. Clawson’s offers a kids menu and had a Fried Shrimp plate for kids which my seafood-loving kids loved. Troy had the Angus Burger, cooked perfectly and also delicious. -Now that we had filled our bellies, it was time to check out one more recommended place in Beaufort; the Old Burying Grounds. Located just a couple- minutes walk from Fleet Street, it is definitely worth a visit. We paid a quarter to get a brochure on the “Grave Sites of Interest” and started our tour. -The graves here date back to the early 1700’s and believed to house victims as far back as the Indian Wars with the Coree and Neusiok Indians. There are many other old graves with the oldest legible date being from 1756. -Many graves hold ship captain, soldiers and local residents, however, there are several graves that have unique stories to be told. One of the most colorful is “Girl in Barrel of Rum.” A young girl went to visit London with her father in early 1700’s and died on the voyage home. The father didn’t want to break his promise to his wife of bringing his daughter home so instead of burying her at sea, he purchased a barrel of rum from the captain and placed his daughter in it so she could be buried at home. -After our visit, we returned to the living and enjoyed an ice cream while checking out the numerous quaint stores lining the waterfront. -Our last stop of the day was to Cape Lookout National Seashore Visitor Center. Here, Drake and Mia picked up their Junior Ranger books and we were able to learn more about what we could expect on our day at both Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout National Seashore. -Tips: Island Express Ferry Service does operate out of Beaufort, however, during my research, I realized that we would have to choose one destination; either Cape Lookout National Seashore or Shackleford Banks (home to more than 100 wild horses). The other deciding factor not to take the ferry out of Beaufort was the trip to Cape Lookout would be a 3 ½ hour round-trip! If you want to save time and hit both destinations on the same day, my recommendation is to use Island Express Ferry Service out of Harkers Island (about 1 hour drive from Flanners Beach Campground). -Next up? Our amazing day at Shackleford Banks, Cape Lookout National Seashore and a quick trip to Oriental, boating capitol of North Carolina. It was one of my favorite days of the whole trip! -As her favourite colour is purple I knew I had to use that colour. A month or so ago I found some purple sugar and white sugar pearls. I wanted to do a kid cake that was elegant given her age. That was as far as I got until the morning of the day everyone was coming. Talk about a decorating block! I just couldn’t think of anything. Fortunately on the walk with the dogs I got an idea. And it had to be done quickly as I had an hour to do this. Yikes! -Not only does she like purple, she likes butterflies so I decided to go with that. I whipped up some buttercream icing like I did for these cupcakes. Before I added the purple I scooped some white into a decorating bag. -Carefully place the top layer on and brush any loose crumbs off. -Ice the whole cake smoothing as best you can. Isn’t this a great purple? -Next I used the white frosting to outline the flowers and butterfly. Finally I got the consistency right and it flowed like it should. In the past I was squeezing with all my might. Too much work. I used the white pearls for the centers and the purple sugar for the petals and wings. I really need to problem solve getting the sugar where I want it to go. There was a bit of colouring outside the lines with this bit. -To finish it off I added some icing dots on the sides. -This entry was posted in Desserts and tagged apples, baking, buttercream icing, chocolate cake. Bookmark the permalink. -Wow! that’s one heck of a cake:) It’s beautiful!! I love the butterfly:) She’s going to LOVE IT! Happy Birthday to your daughter…. -I can’t wait for those pics…I just love everything about your daughters cake! It came out beautifully!!!!!! -Thank you. 🙂 His birthday is in June so I have time to plan! -can’t wait! Have a Great weekend:) and as always thanks for sharing…. -Thanks, I’ll let her know. -Happy Birthday to your daughter. That’s certainly a cake and a half. She must have be thrilled. -She liked it. 🙂 They appreciate the effort for stuff like this which is really nice. -So fun!! A few years ago, my twin sister put together a cookbook of all the recipes from our childhood years; we celebrated our birthday last week, and I made our whole birthday dinner from that cookbook! It’s amazing how memories if food stay with us– I’m sure your daughter will never forget this cake! -What a wonderful idea! Very special. -What a sweet cake…love the flowers and butterfly as I’m sure she did as well. -Daughters are so~ precious. Happy Birthday to your 12 year old… I love purple too and she will love it! Fae. -What a fabulous looking cake! Yes, my favourite colours are deep crimson and purple. Having said that, at your daughters age I had my bedroom painted purple walls and white accents…put me right off purple for a while! -Her room at her mother’s house has purple walls so we’ll see how long this lasts. At our house she still has the yellow as the main colour that her dad did years ago. I like the idea of purple with the white accents though. A great contrast. -Well happy birthday! Wow! Now that’s purple! I bet she was pleased. Good for her. -Happy Birthday to your daughter. A cake to remember always. -Love that quote! They grow so fast. -Wow Virginia the cake is beautiful! Of course, I like purple, too! -The debate "Republican memo was fake news garbage" was started by Nemiroff on February 26, 2018, 5:21 pm. 5 people are on the agree side of this discussion, while 8 people are on the disagree side. People are starting to choose their side. It looks like most people are against to this statement. -Nemiroff posted 4 arguments to the agreers part. -Nemiroff, historybuff and 3 visitors agree. -Yiyi, chasediedrich1, NPW, DrMrDaniel, chemikilsm0ke and 3 visitors disagree. -why is it that your entire post deflected to the democrats and completely dodged the topic of the thread, the contents of the actual Republican memo? -is it because the contents of that memo themselves are indefensible? -my entire opening post explained why it was fake. so your opening jab is a miss. -Nunez used half truths to lie to the American people. regardless of the damage that should spark far more outrage. -the damage was to sources and methods of intelligence gathering. it makes intelligence gathering harder for our professionals. do you think you as a civilian would notice the damage? did you notice the snowden damage? of course not. what were you expecting the damage to be? an instant invasion? I think you are making arbitrary excuses to avoid laying blame on your party no matter how badly they slapped you and the American people. -I love how democrats always dissmis the memo as a fake but rarely point out why it's fake. I also remember that democrats stated that the memo would cause major problems and liberal media cites were buzzing with why releasing the memo would bring terrible consequences, yet none of that happened. It's almost as if there was something in that memo democrats didn't want released. -anyone have any argument for why it wasn't garbage? -frankly garbage isn't strong enough. it was outright lies to try to undermine an investigation into potential treasonous activities. when the investigation leads to more charges I hope they investigate Nunes as well for his willful attempt to cover it up. -it represented the Steele dossier as the only evidence when it was supported by numerous independent sources. -it said the fbi hide the fact that one of its leads was started for a partisan purpose, but they openly told the judge that, who then judged it valid. -it forgot to mention that the warrant was renewed several times, meaning it was providing valid intelligence in the eyes of the court. which included numerous republician judges who approved it. -this political farce needs to end. cherry picking from classified data to build a false narrative to deceive the American people, there need to be treason charges brought on some. starting with Devon Nunez. if anyone is colluding, it's him. -High quality Initial,and Buyer Supreme is our guideline to offer the ideal assistance to our shoppers.At present, we are striving our best to become amongst the ideal exporters inside our industry to satisfy shoppers more want for Wall Anchors Lowes , wall anchors lowes , drywall anchors lowes , and hope to operate along with you during the close to foreseeable future! -"We have been also concentrating on enhancing the things management and QC method so that we could preserve terrific edge inside the fiercely-competitive enterprise for Wall Anchors Lowes , wall anchors lowes , drywall anchors lowes , We are adhering to the philosophy of "attracting customers with the best products and excellent service".

Why not let InDevR’s team of scientists do it for you? -The single radial immunodiffusion assay is used to quantify the concentration of antigen in a given sample relative to a standard of the same antigen. In short, an agarose gel is infused with reference antisera and holes are punched in the gel. Antigen is placed in the holes and diffuses into the agarose. The distance that the antigen diffuses into the agarose is measured as a precipitate “ring” in the gel after staining. The ring diameter is proportional to the quantity of the antigen present in a given well. -The SRID assay is applied across the influenza vaccine industry. It is widely used to determine the potency of the hemagglutinin content of vaccines prior to release of the product. -InDevR has scientists trained and experienced in performing the SRID assay to specifications put forward by the FDA. This assay can either act as a calibration for the VaxArray assay or can be performed for stand-alone potency determination. VaxArray influenza Potency Assays have been shown to correlate well with results from SRID assays. -Contact InDevR to connect with our scientists for help in defining the testing plan for your samples. -If data can be HACKED or STOLEN, STOP using REAL data and contact us today as we have the Encryption Solution more secure than any Encryption! -Our Team provides several MicroToken solutions that eliminate the vulnerability of storing and sending real data. -Each solution effectively removes the ability for intruders to discern any value from storage or transmission. -We provide solutions for transmitting commands between connected devices, storing and retrieving documents and data in any form, as well as secure payment services. -MicroToken Exchange (MTE) Encryption Technology solution for securing Data in MOTION. -- MTE secures data in motion by acting almost as an invisible shield or a translator between the sending device and the receiving device.

Mercedes X-Class is the company’s first large scale production luxury pickup and we reveal all its secrets, including the prices for the German market. The X-Class will be available in Europe, Latin America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. No USA. -There it is, the Mercedes of the pickups. Following the 2016 reveal of the close to production concept, the series X-Class has now been revealed in South Africa. Sales start this November with a basic price of 37,294 euros. -It is widely known that Mercedes is buying the technical base from the Renault Nissan Group, the X-Class is based on the Nissan Navara and is also being built at Nissan’s European headquarters in Barcelona. In contrast to other “badge engineering” models such as the practically identical duo Mitsubishi L200 and Fiat Fullback, Mercedes has – having learnt its lesson from the experience with the Citan – heavily updated the Nissan Navara donor base and created an unique interior and exterior design. -On the technical side, the ladder frame and the drivetrains are primarily identical. In addition, the basic cell of the cabin and individual body parts such as the doors are identical. Nevertheless, the Mercedes X-Class is a completely new car, from a design stand point. -The front is dominated by the radiator grill with powerful big star and two cross chrome bars, the headlights with LED daytime running lights are smaller and more aggressive. Depending on the equipment variant, the lower apron is decorated with a large chrome surround, lacquered in car paint or molded in dyed plastic, which is more robust. At the rear, we notice the extremely narrow high-angle lights, an unusual styling idea in the pick-up camp. Mercedes is fitting a rear bumper to every X-Class, depending on the variant painted in car paint or in chrome, “naked” commercial vehicle variants as with other manufacturers will not exist. -In the chassis department, Mercedes has made major changes to the Nissan Navara. Wider gauge and its own optimized for road use will bring a considerable improvement compared to the Nissan. This is to be desired, because the Navara chassis is despite all coil springs quite rustic and bumpy. On the other hand, Nissan technology can be used again for engines, at least for the time being. The two variants of the 2.3-liter turbodiesel with single- and twin turbocharging (163/190 hp) are known from the Navara, in the Mercedes they operate under the designation X 220 d and X 250 d. Both variants are available with rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive and come as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, while the X 250 d is also offered with a seven-speed automatic. The all-wheel-drive variants have a switchable off-road 50/50% traction lock switch and optionally a rear axle differential lock. -In contrast to the prospective main competitor, the VW Amarok V6, Mercedes will only offer a V6 variant from 2018 onwards. Powered by Mercedes’ own three-liter V6 diesel, the X 350 d with 258 hp and 550 Nm will be the most potent midsize pickup ever. The X 350 d is equipped as standard with the seven-speed 7G-Tronic automatic and is available with permanent all-wheel drive only. -Particularly much work has been done in the interior design, with hardly one part lifted from the Nissan. From the Navara was taken only the small switch unit in front of the gear lever, from which all-wheel drive / support, hillside control and the rear axle lock can be operated. Otherwise everything is new. This begins with the door panels and handles and continues over the entire dashboard, which is now covered side-to-side with a full-surface mid-section plastic ornament. The rotary push button for the Comand system is integrated into the center console, the instruments with round screens and the central info display and the multi-function steering wheel are the same as in the current Mercedes SUV line-up. Many details, such as the control panel of the climate control system or the design of the round fan nozzles, are known from the Mercedes GLA. In addition, Mercedes promises an unusually high individualization potential for pickup conditions with various color and decor variations. Despite all this, the interior designers had obviously no easy task with the constructive specifications of the base. Individual details such as the fan nozzles or the Comand controller have the effect of being retrofitted. -With the assistance and media options Mercedes X-Class takes full advantage of the brand’s parts bin. The X-Class already has the eCall system, which is required from 2018, and also the technical prerequisites for online services. For this reason, the optional me-connect system can be used to access the vehicle via a smartphone, for example, to determine the location or to check the tank content and tire pressure. In addition to the voice-controlled Comand Online, Mercedes also offers the 20 USB and 20 CD audio systems from the other series for the X-Class. Tracking, traffic signs and active brake assist are on board as well as a trailer stability program, cruise control and LED headlights. In addition to the rear-view camera, a 360-degree camera system with Birdview mode is available at an extra charge. -Mercedes will offer the X-Class in three different equipment variants, which also differ externally. Base is the X-Class Pure with a dark plastic apron. In addition, Mercedes offers the X-Class Progressive, in which the apron is lacquered in car paint. With its chrome apron, the top equipment X-Class Power can easily be recognized. The upcoming V6 is only offered in this version. In addition, Mercedes already plans to offer a pickup-typical accessories program such as a hardtop and loading area cover or off-road accessories at the start of sales. -The market launch of the X-Class will take place in Germany and Europe in November 2017, followed by South Africa and Australia in early 2018 and Argentina and Brazil in early 2019. On the export markets, a petrol engine with 165 hp will also be part of the program. There will also be slightly less pompous versions available. The X-Class 350 d with the V6 diesel will come in mid-2018. According to Mercedes, the demand for particularly luxurious and comfortable midsize pickups is steadily rising, which is why the X-Class, unlike the competition, will only be available as a double cab with an already comprehensive basic equipment. Real workhorses with minimized rustic equipment are not on the program for Germany. In the face of the basic price of 37,294 for the X class 220 d Pure with manual transmission (for comparison: the Navara prices for the 2.3-liter double cab start at 31.110 Euro) may be assumed that for the top model X-Class 350 D will cost around 60,000 euros. -Наш нужный веб сайт с информацией про HOMTOM HT20 Pro обзор. -Our Learn Forward approach asks and invites children to master much more than just content. -Our Learn Forward approach asks and invites children to master much more than just content, its really a lot more about relationships and interpersonal connections and its much more about the journey that you’re on and how you’re building your character and those personality traits that will carry you into your future with success. -Wholeheartedly inviting children to embrace the unconditional love leading to a sense of worthiness, confidence, and delight. -Our learning culture cultivates a child’s unique identity balanced with a sense of community. -Over time our explorers become confident agents of goodness and change on the playground and across the globe. -Collaboration is so critical for a future leader’s success because iron sharpens iron.

A duckling will alway follow either its mother or another duckling. By scaring the mother she turns around and you create the first part of the loop. If you take away the mother in the right moment, the first duckling will see the last duckling and follow it. So the loop is closed. After seeing this comic I realy would like to test it in reality. But I think the sound of the mother will ruin everthing (shout out warnings). -This page was last edited on 6 January 2017, at 15:49. -Meet the fighters post event to see who take homes fight of the night bonuses. -Special drink discounts starting at just 100baht, free entry, and FMD style good times. -Chat with the Ring Girls, chill by the pool, lounge on the astroturfed roof top and enjoy a classic mix of music from all genres. -Well handled finances ensures both parties are satisfied with the bill. -You will need to reconcile your final account with the builder.

We were the first clinic in South Africa to receive the Dermapen 4. So what makes the Dermapen 4 so much better than the Dermapen 3 or any other microneedling device? -Dermapen 4 has a 16 needle cartridge instead of just 12 needles, reaching an inflammatory response at a much quicker rate. -The Dermapen 4 generates 47.9% more micro-channels than Dermapen 3 and 104% more micro-channels than any counterfeit device. -The Dermapen 4 generates 1,920 puncture channels per second, which means we can almost double the amount of serums and actives that we needle into the skin per treatment, than before. -The additional 620 micro-channels makes the treatment much quicker and more comfortable than before. -Dermapen 4 is the only microneedling device with a dedicated scar setting and protocols for revision of deep, atrophic scars; including surgical, burn contracture, striae and post-acne scars. Needle penetration can now be increased up to 3.0mm. -AOVN technology, automatically calibrates the motor speed, pressure and penetration for targeted precision. -The Dermapen 4 is safer than other microneedling devices, no dragging or pulling of the skin. -Only Dermapen 4 features a unique, medical-grade silicone seal and fluid guard. The external cartridge is fortified with a specialised fluid guard that prevents cross contamination to the outer cartridge shell. Safety First! -Specialised retention valves relieve the build-up of procedural pressure within the Dermapen 4 needle cartridge. The effect prevents fluid build-up within the needle cavity. The vacuum-like sensation removes the risk of cross contamination whilst ensuring pressure-free contact to the skin during a procedure. -Top: Medical grade numbing cream applied for 20 – 30 minutes, we then needle medical grade serums and actives into the skin via the Dermapen 4 device. Bottom: An Alginate Mask is applied and connected to our IonZyme Machine. A medical grade concealer is applied to speed up recovery and cover any immediate post treatment redness. -The Dermapen is an award winning micro-needling device. -We use the Dermapen 4 to create safe pathways to deliver quality anti-aging serums deep into the skin. -New collagen and elastin are now being produced by the body; tightening the skin and healing scars, fine lines and literally keeping the skin young and full of volume. -What is the Dermapen 4 good for? -Skin conditions: Treat pigmentation, skin texture, oily skin, acne and sun damaged skin. -The numbing cream that we apply is a 30% Lidocaine medical-grade numbing cream that is only available at medical practices. Should your skincare “clinic”, not have an overseeing doctor, chances are that you are not receiving the appropriate numbing cream (only a 2% Lidocaine), which can make this treatment uncomfortable. -The concentrated actives in the mask are delivered into the skin immediately after a microneedling treatment to instantly cool and soothe the skin and to improve the skins health complexion. -The IonZyme machine introduces the use of Pulsed Iontophoresis; the use of a specifically pulsed electrical current to facilitate penetration of vitamins into the cells. -Immediately post this microneedling treatment, we apply an Alginate mask over the face. We then connected it to our IonZyme Machine to send an electrical current via the mask. This reduces inflammation to speed up recovery. The mask itself is infused with skin corrective peptides and anti-inflammatory actives which makes it the perfect compliment for the skin after a Dermapen treatment. -Natural Aesthetics is not a spa of “beauty salon”; we are a medical practice. -Our Therapists are specially trained to administer medical microneedling and IonZyme Machine treatments safely and correctly. -Each of our Therapists have also received special training by Dr Wade Merchant to further ensure that our patients receive the safest and most effective treatments. -For the month of April only: Receive a Face & Neck Dermapen 4 Treatment + An Alginate Mask + IonZyme Machine Treatment for only R1,500 (all inclusive). -OR call us on 021 433 0967. -This is what makes us the best choice for your next form or survey. -We offer completely Free Plans that enable you to create an unlimited number of forms, surveys, and polls. -For over 5 years, EmailMeForm has worked with millions of users on gathering valuable user-generated data. -No programming skills necessary for your advanced data collection.

And this little story of its arrival on my doorstep needs to be shared. -A few months back I was travelling in country NSW in Australia and was scheduled to do an event on the last night of my stay. It was cold. -So I pulled myself together (like I do) to be of service and speak on all things food and nutrition to a small group of people. In the audience there was one shining light that stood out to me. She radiated so much light and we connected after I talked. She shared with an extremely vulnerable heart, her health concerns. -And I offered my support in the coming weeks. -We connected every few days and I helped her see where she could improve. Our connection was in stolen moments and after she felt confident in the knowledge I had shared, I gave her space to absorb all that she’d learnt to she could put all into practice. -What I didn’t know, in the weeks following was that she had had such profound shifts. -Her symptoms lifted, her energy returned, her ability to feel joy crept back into her life. -You see, when asked why do I coach, the answer is always the same.....to help people return to self. To feel joy again. -Today, I received this beautiful gift, all the way from Milan. This beautiful human had this Pink Kunzite necklace made for me. I had truly made my day and I’m so grateful. Who would have thought that a random act of service can create such immense love and joy for all." -"I don’t know how I found Francesca but I am so glad I did. Lots of thought and love goes into everything she makes. It’s not jewelry. It’s so much more. -you work together to pick which kind of specimen to use. -She might know right away or you might know. Or you might have to decide between a few. But she works with the crystals and narrows it down. -Then You pick from her collection which stone you feel drawn to. In my case, I let her tell me what I needed. She picked 6 pieces of Rubellite tourmaline. -And then I picked the from that. It’s absolutely perfect. -And I got it the day if the new moon so it could not have worked out better. -Thank you so much Giardinoblu Jewellery Milan!!" -"Working with Francesca was an absolute dream. I had been wanting to transform a beloved herkimer diamond into a pendant and, after purchasing several jewelry pieces from Francesca and seeing the level of care she puts into her work, I knew she was the only I would entrust my gemstone to. -Francesca loves gemstones and respects their energy, and that was very important to me when choosing someone. -Francesca made the whole creation process simple. She first shared some designs and, once I liked them, I sent her my stone via courier. Once she had it, she got to work, showing me every step of the way, and seeking my approval before moving forward. -I loved how she kept me regularly informed of where we were in the process and listened to my observations. She was kind and courteous at every step of the way, and ended up creating a jewel I will treasure forever. -I couldn't be happier with the necklace Francesca created for me. It's perfect in every way, and beams with positive energy." -Photographer, Stylist & Visual Strategist, Marcela Macias Photography. -Pancakes are usually believed to be one of the best variations of weekend breakfast. They associate with childhood, careless days, sweet childhood memories, and generally with tasty treat. However, far from everyone is able to make this treat on their own. -Today, the idea of a healthy lifestyle becomes very popular. More and more people start thinking about healthier cooking and eating, discover different diets, and look for organic products. This is due to a certain fashion, of course, but such trend is very useful for society in general. -African/Lake Malawi cichlids have very specialised feeding habits that have been adapted so that they can survive in their natural habitat. However aquarists tend to make it easier for themselves by getting readily prepared flakes and pellets. But you will have to take into account whether your fish are herbivores or ‘piscivores’ (feed on other fish). Mbuna species are normally herbivore, so they will mainly feed on the algae that grows on rocks, so they must be fed on plant food. These fish cannot digest animal fat and will suffer from indigestion if fed on it. -On the other hand most Lake Malawi cichlids will eat small crustaceans like Brine Shrimps. -A lot of cichlid breeders make up their own homemade food, made from chopped up shrimp and peas. -Thaw out the shrimps and peas and mince them finely in a food mixer, then add the vitamin drops. Finally pour in the dissolved gelatine. The gelatine will bind the mixture, producing a thick paste after it has cooled. Place the paste into a freezer bag, flatten and then freeze. Now this nutritious fish food can easily be cut up into convenient pieces, and given to your fish. -A wide range of foods are commercially available, like flakes and pellets. It has been noticed that cichlids feed very enthusiastically on flakes, while pellets sink to the bottom, so any other inhabitants like catfish can get it. The choice is yours. -A further important source of food for your African cichlids, are frozen foods like white and black mosquito larvae, brine shrimps and krill. -Mixes including beef heart and frozen RED mosquito larvae are not suitable for Lake Malawi Cichlids. -How often you feed your Lake Malawi cichlids depends on their age. Fry (Newly born fish) must be fed more frequently and in smaller portions than older fish. Fry should literally be swimming in food in order to grow quickly and develop properly. -Herbivores are more used to feeding in small portions over the day, so feeding them once a day will not be enough. And you must take care to only put in the right amount of food. It should take about 1 minute for all of the food to be eaten. -Adult cichlids should be fed 2-3 times a day while the fry should be fed 5-7 times a day. If the fish are fed regularly then their aggression should be reduced. -Never feed your fish just after you have switched the light on as they will need reach their full levels of daytime activity. The African cichlids rest at night and it takes them about thirty minutes to become fully active. And for similar reasons, you should not give them their final feed just before turning the light out. -If you don’t think that you will be able to feed your fish at the correct times each day, then you should consider installing an automatic feeding machine. -It is important not to overfeed your fish as your cichlids will consume anything, and in huge quatities if they can, which can harm their health. Healthy African Cichlids will always await their food eagerly. -If an adult cichlid is eating poorly or refusing food then don’t feed them at all for one full day afterwards as it may be overfed. If they still fail to eat after the day off, then they may have contracted a disease. -They are. Were they cichlids or tropical fish? Thank you for your comment by the way. -I love aquarium fish and used to keep quite a few of them. They are a lot of fun and beautiful to watch. -Is an election recount a good idea? -The Green Party’s Jill Stein is pushing for election recounts in three battleground states.

But this really has got to make people wake up and realize how bad things have really gotten. The findings in New York State after an independent study of 24 supplements offered in Target, Walmart, Walgreens and GNC reveal a gross negligence and outright mockery of honesty and integrity. The state’s Attorney General found these items didn’t even contain the main ingredient stated and instead were chock full of cheap rice and other not so healthy fillers. -The attorney general’s team tested 24 products in total. Roughly four out of five supplements tested did not contain the medicinal herbs they were supposed to, and were instead rife with “cheap fillers like powdered rice, asparagus and houseplants, and in some cases substances that could be dangerous to those with allergies,” according to a New York Times report. -Walgreens Ginseng supplement labeled as something to increase endurance and vitality was simply garlic and rice powder. Ginkgo biloba supplement from Walmart was found to actually be powdered radish, houseplants and wheat despite the fact that its label said it was wheat and gluten-free. -Walgreens is pulling the problematic supplements from shelves. Walmart plans to reach out to suppliers and take necessary action to ensure the safety of its customers. GNC says the company is willing to cooperate following this investigation, but stood behind its own supplements and testing system. Target so far has not issued a comment. -The attorney general’s office conducted its test by purchasing 78 bottles of the four retailers’ top brands from a dozen Walmart, Target, GNC, and Walgreens stores in the state. -Health care experts have warned about the potential dangers of the unregulated supplement industry for some time, including in a 2012 review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Certain ingredients, like high amounts of caffeine, pose risks for certain consumers. -Consider getting your supplements from a reliable source like Natural News where you know it is being tested for not only containing that which the label lists but also to be free from toxins and heavy metals.

The other panels compare the scale of Earth to the eruptions. Red shows superheated gas held together by magnetic fields. The time sequence lasts only 80 seconds and yet reveals tremendous amounts of gas leaving the Sun. -A detailed study of a huge solar eruption reveals that a series of smaller explosions combined in a domino effect to fuel the blast. -The findings improve understanding of the Sun's most powerful events and could lead to better forecasting of the tempests, researchers said. -Scientists studied data collected from a radiation flare on the Sun on July 15, 2002. The eruption, ranked as an X-7, was one of the most powerful in recent times. The flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection, which is a colossal discharge of electrified gas called plasma. The event was 5,000 million times more powerful than an atomic bomb. -Scientists don't know exactly what triggers such eruptions. They are associated with strong magnetic fields, however, and emanate from sunspots, which are cooler regions of the Sun that correspond to bottled-up magnetic energy. -"Sunspots are at the surface of the Sun, and are essentially the footprints of the magnetic field," explained Louise Harra of the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at University College London. "The magnetic field reaches into the outer atmosphere in the same way as for example a bar magnet has a magnetic field around it." -Researchers had thought the big eruptions are created when magnetic field lines from the core of a sunspot become tangled and reconnect high in solar atmosphere, or corona. The new study contradicts that assumption. -X-7 flare started when plasma from below the Sun's surface broke suddenly through. -"Below the surface of the Sun a dynamo process is working creating magnetic field," Harra explained in an email interview. "When this becomes buoyant it can rise to the surface of the Sun, and into the atmosphere." -The plasma collided with a strong magnetic field at the surface, and the interaction triggered release of "phenomenal amounts of energy," the researchers concluded. There were three eruptions, each triggering the next. -The gas was heated to 36 million degrees Fahrenheit (20 million Celsius) before being flung up into the solar atmosphere at 90,000 mph (40 kilometers per second). -"We have observed the flows of hot gas for the first time, enabling us to see that several small flares combine to create a major explosion," Harra said. "This may eventually enable us to predict large flares before they erupt." -Not all solar flares are accompanied by coronal mass ejections, and nobody knows for sure why. -"It must be a combination of the magnetic field strength and the magnetic configuration that will allow field lines to be opened and hence the release of gas," Harra said. -The observations were made with SOHO spacecraft, a joint project of NASA and the European Space Agency. The results were presented last week at a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society. -Whether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, we promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile.

Sore throat. Sinus pressure. Yuck. -I will say, though, it's nice to be alone up here in my room in the middle of the day with some items I have come to count as dearest companions - my Bible, journal, daily devotion book, thankful journal, and a collection of gel pens. -Currently, I am reading Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young. Filled with lovely little reminders of God's presence and His love for me, this daily devotional helps focus my thoughts either to start my day right or rest peacefully during the night. -Also by my side today is God's Wisdom for a Mother's Heart, by Bobbie Wolgemuth. This has provided hours and hours of conversation starters for the bi-monthly mentoring group I help lead at my church. Though only 128 pages in length, we have used this book for more than a year. The girls in Moms to Moms meet the first and second Wednesday nights of the month, a sort of round-table, open forum where no topic is off limits, but mostly parenting and reassuring that they're going to make it. We study the Word, pray, laugh, cry, teach each other, and we are all growing. -My co-leaders and I agree these young ladies with their children around them are our heroes. Represented are single and married moms, working outside and inside their homes, public/private/homeschooling moms...you name it, we've got it. This is one group we hate to miss. A gift from God. Truly. -My thankful journal is simply a little leather-bound book where I record the gifts God has given me. Eucharisto. Thanks. One Thousand Gifts. 10,000 reasons. Why write them down? Because I dare not forget the goodness of God. In the remembering and the acknowledging I am overwhelmed with reassurance that God is my provider, comforter, healer, friend, joy, strength, and so much more. I am much less likely to lose my focus and wander if I am remembering God's deeds and giving thanks. -Last, but certainly not least, is my personal journal. It may as well be my heart on paper. This is where it all comes pouring forth to be sorted, processed, saved or discarded. You know, keep the good and throw out the chaff. That's what the journal is for - it is fearsome, yet necessary. Necessary for me anyways. -There are a few more books I could talk about. Don't know about you, but I read several at once. These I mentioned were simply the lucky ones to be carried into the sick bed with me today. -Do you have reading materials you count as "dearest companions"? What are they and why are they special to you? -I also have the Jesus Calling devotional, Karen had mentioned it a long time ago, and I finally got it. I've really enjoyed it, it's definitely helped me focus in on that 'personal' time.. -The New York Times offers quite a bit of video content these days, so naturally someone went and made a Kodi addon for it.

SEF Canada’s managing director Suzette McFaul discusses the project’s community-driven approach to developing more sustainable practices in artisanal gold mining. -Miners in the Clean Gold project are transitioning from mercury to cyanide-based processing methods. Image courtesy of SEF Canada. -Clean Gold has partnered with the University of British Columbia and others to form a technical "dream team". Image courtesy of SEF Canada. -Artisanal miners often struggle with the brutal economics of small-scale production and accessing markets. Image courtesy of SEF Canada. -McFaul with a worker on-site in Ecuador. -On 16 August, the Minamata Convention on Mercury entered into force, marking the culmination of a years-long effort to come up with an international response to the shared threat of mercury exposure. -While mercury has been used in industrial processes for hundreds of years, its extreme toxicity poses massive public health risks. Mercury poisoning can cause irreparable brain damage and organ failure, and low-level exposure is a significant cause of premature deaths. -The Minamata Convention, named after the Japanese city that has been living for decades with the consequences of a mass mercury poisoning, brings with it tighter controls for the handling of mercury in industry, as well as provisions for what it calls the “phase-out and phase-down of mercury use in products and processes”. -It also means renewed scrutiny on the use of mercury in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in many countries, and artisanal gold mining in particular. Mercury is used extensively in ASM operations, and often in highly unsafe domestic conditions, to process ore and recover gold. -But for small-scale miners working with simple tools and lacking the deep pockets, greater pressure to stop using mercury hasn’t changed the economic fundamentals of their trade. Technical limitations mean that recovery rates are low and the grey market buyers of their gold, often jewellers, offering far below spot value. “And that’s if they don’t get mugged on the way in a cash-based society,” says McFaul. -After being invited to southern Ecuador’s El Oro province in 2014 to see how SEF’s economic development model might help artisanal mining communities, McFaul established Clean Gold Community Solutions (Clean Gold) to take a more holistic approach to improving ASM standards in the region. -The company has partnered with artisanal miners, along with a technical ‘dream team’ led by the University of British Columbia, to make the transition away from mercury processing, while also taking on the upgrade of a local gold processing plant to refine the miners’ products and instilling business development skills to empower the miners as business owners. -The plant, which McFaul says should be up and running “around next week”, will switch out mercury for cyanide in the recovery process, as the latter breaks down much more quickly if released. But the partnership, McFaul stresses, is about more than just replacing a harmful industrial element; it’s about building new, sustainable systems centred around the plant. -In turn, transparency around processing methods and environmental performance facilitates access to markets that will offer close to spot prices for the miners’ gold, rather than the 40-60% of spot price that McFaul says they get from grey market buyers. -At the heart of Clean Gold’s model is prioritising the economic and social health of the whole community that surrounds ASM operations. This starts with only partnering with miners who have invited the company to do so, and developing the local economy is part of the deal. -“The community has to buy in and the community has to win,” says McFaul. “There’s a community foundation that comes out of every Clean Gold project. “The community has to agree, and the miners agree, that part of that community foundation will go into an SEF model to help all the other people in the community. -The approach aims to be the polar opposite of the exploitative, opaque relationships that can characterise mining communities’ interactions with large-scale mining companies. Putting the reins in the hands of the community helps create a virtuous cycle that is key to the wider economic development plan, even if a hands-off approach presents its own challenges. -Clean Gold is keen to expand its methods to ASM communities around the world. Plans are already in place to set up another project in Ecuador next year, and McFaul is hoping that the current plant upgrade and community development scheme will be a strong showcase to help sell the concept to prospective future investors. -If the money can be found, there is apparently no shortage of demand for the Clean Gold model. The company has already visited Guyana, and McFaul says invitations have been extended from neighbouring Colombia, as well as Kenya and Mali. -Certainly there are challenges still to come. If the model is to be a true success on its own terms, it will be vital that miners and local families are as happy with the profit-sharing arrangement as the investors. But if the project in El Oro Province can make its environmental, ethical and business case, it could set a progressive template for cleaning up artisanal gold mining while also encouraging sustainable growth in communities that often live well below the poverty line. -Starting XI Prediction: Solskjaer to keep 4-3-3 formation with Lingard, Rashford, and Martial leading the attack against PSG? -Manchester United return to UEFA Champions League action against Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening. It is what the Theatre of Dreams is made for, European nights under the floodlights. Last season, United made it to the same stage of the competition, losing to Sevilla and exiting the competition. This season, under the management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, things may go a bit different for the Red Devils. Confidence is high and United are undefeated in 11 matches, winning ten and drawing one. -Now is perhaps the best time to face the French champions as Neymar is out of the match and striker, Edinson Cavani limped out of Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Bordeaux. PSG are a competent team but playing in France, they do not really have much competition which may be a negative ahead of this game, as United have been challenged in every match they have played, showing the difference between the Premier League and French football. -The Spanish number one was rarely tested against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday but when he was, he was at his best. There are suggestions that the goalkeeper is calling for a £350,000 per week wage to sign a new contract at United, which is fair considering that he is the player who has been the difference for United – more often than not. He seems players like Alexis Sanchez on a high wage, yet in terms of what he offers United, De Gea offers so much more. -United have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last two matches, which shows that some things have changed for United under Solskjaer. Ashley Young and Victor Lindelof were rested against Fulham, with the ‘ice man’ suffering from a knock. I expect both will be back against PSG with Luke Shaw keeping his place and Eric Bailly partnering Lindelof, which has seen both players in good form recently. Solskjaer has Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and possibly Marcos Rojo to select also, keeping options open. -United’s best midfield will be tested against PSG on Tuesday. Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, and Paul Pogba. Both Herrera and Matic allow Pogba to play further forward, which has seen the Frenchman play some good football recently, also seeing him score eight goals and five assists in his last ten matches under Solskjaer. This United midfield has the form, the ability and the experience to work the magic against PSG at the Theatre of Dreams. -Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard were both rested in the 3-0 victory over Fulham at the weekend, meaning they will both be fresh to face PSG at Old Trafford. Anthony Martial played 70 minutes against Fulham, scoring a sublime goal, also getting an assist, which will mean his confidence will be high ahead of the Champions League match. These three, on their day, can be devastating to any team. If United manage to keep a clean sheet at home, the quarter-finals could be set for United this season. -Preview: U23’s out to fight for their futures against Reading? -Where did it all go wrong for Luke Shaw? -At “AT DESIGN GROUP” your privacy is our priority.

They are distinctly designed to manage huge a great deal of waste generated in the large projects including construction, household renovation, and also yard clear and structure projects. Garbage accumulated upon completion of most of these projects doesn't only be incredibly huge, but also very ungainly in nature. The roll away from dumpsters is usually mounted on wheels in order to easily be folded on to the pickups. These throw off dumpsters staying enclosed together with the double gates, one at the top and one towards the bottom will aid easy dumping into the dumpster even so huge it is. Not all the particular roll away from dumpsters will match every kind of the project; the idea differs from project to project. A 10yard dumpster is a best match for a home renovation project, a 30 property for structure project and a 40 property for industrial disposal. -Renting a dumpster provides the simplest way to eliminate trash during a home project. Maryland's cities offer limited rubbish pickup. This specific trash collection is limited in order to bagged rubbish that is released to the road in a trash can. The trash have to be separated according to local trying to recycle laws also it must not meet or exceed a certain rubbish bag control. This control varies from location to location within Annapolis; you must check your local trash collection regulations as a way to comply with their own trash collection standards. Dumpster leases in Annapolis are available as a result of online buying and can be delivered the very next day. -Once you are done in putting in an order with garbage rental company specifying your requirements, you are going to receive an instantaneous price quote from your representative of the business stating information of rates.

These dumpsters is usually filled with aged furniture, clothes, broken toys, old mattresses, car and also bike areas, carpeting, loft and storage area debris or another type of general household rubbish. -You may want to furthermore clean out your barn. You can rent a compact, medium or maybe large dumpster to have the job done. You might need a large dumpster should you have a lot of crap that will squeeze into ten pickup truck loads. 12 pickup plenty or 4 tons could be the limit to get a large dumpster. If your items meet or exceed four a lot, you will need to rent yet another dumpster to finish the position off. In the event you only need in relation to five collection loads compared to a medium dumpster is designed for you. The medium dumpster will hold up to about three tons of crap or dust. A small dumpster will hold up to two tons of dust. -When people ask me what my favorite horror film is, I guess they would expect me to say “Halloween” or “The Exorcist.” And while I do love those movies and they, along with “Psycho” for instance, would be in my top-five of the genre, I say that my favorite in the genre is definitely “The Haunting.” And the trouble is, I always have to back up that title by labeling it “the Robert Wise haunted-house film from the 1960s” because I know that they’re thinking of the other “The Haunting” (the 1999 Jan De Bont remake of the 1963 film with Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta-Jones). I’ll have something to say about the remake later and why it definitely doesn’t work in comparison to its predecessor, but I truly love the original film. In fact, I love it so much to admit that it’s just my favorite scary film—it’s one of my all-time favorite movies. -“The Haunting” is a superb, gorgeously-shot, very well thought-out chiller that uses psychological tension and character development in the same concepts of mystery and atmosphere. It takes place in a haunted house—Hill House, to be exact—and it’s about a group of characters who would like to investigate the supernatural occurrences of such a place but get much more than they expected. That premise sounds pretty simple, but Wise’s direction, along with great cinematography as well as great acting, makes it far more than what it could have been. Even if you don’t really find it very scary (it depends on whether or not you accept the “less is more” aspect—I’ll explain later in this review), it’s still a gripping psychological thriller, Gothic story, and character study. -“The Haunting” begins with an opening narration over a shot of an ominous-looking mansion in the night, and right away, the narration sets up the premise in a most interesting way. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a depiction of a haunted house, or rather just exploring a haunted house, has ever been put in a better way. “An evil old house, the kind some people call haunted, is like an undiscovered country waiting to be explored. Hill House has stood for 90 years and might stand for 90 more. Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there…walked alone.” And when the intellectual voice of Richard Johnson puts it like that, I think I might follow him as well as those his character, Dr. John Markway, are brought into his experiment. And yes, his experiment is simply to investigate any sort of paranormal activity while spending several nights in Hill House. The house is full of history that connects to further evidence that it may be haunted, which fascinates him even more. He wants to know if everything he’s heard and studied is as real as it may seem. -Brought in on the project are Eleanor “Nell” Lance (Julie Harris), clairvoyant Theodora “Theo” (Claire Bloom), and the house’s cynical new heir, Luke Sanderson (Russ Tamblyn). Eleanor, in particular, is our main focus of the film, as we hear her inner thoughts a good amount of time and has the most compelling character arc of the group. She’s a meek, insecure, guilt-ridden woman who has spent most of her adult life caring for her sick mother until her death, leading to further severe guilt that she has to deal with everyday. She seeks to belong somewhere with somebody, which is why she does take a chance and leaves her sister’s apartment (where she sleeps on the couch), and steals her sister’s car to make her way to Hill House, where she is finally expected somewhere. -Hill House itself is a marvel to look at. It’s a large, maze-like mansion that looks like a Gothic castle, with many secrets and unsettling decorations and such. Among the most notable unsettling locations in the house is the library, which features a tall, spiraling staircase that is very rickety and unsafe. The exteriors and interiors of Hill House are just extraordinary and the whole place gives off a creepy vibe. You definitely can tell that something is not quite right with this place. Eleanor notices this upon first arriving, thinking to herself that “it’s looking at me” and if she goes into this house, she’s afraid she won’t come out the same way. But she does come inside, get to know Markway, Theo, and Luke, and surely enough, many strange things occur with apparent supernatural forces at work here. -But how much of the supernatural is actually “supernatural?” We spend so much time with Eleanor and we know that she isn’t quite mentally-stable because of her insecurities that sometimes take her over, so you have to wonder just how much of this ghost-story is actual ghosts and how much of it is actually in Eleanor’s mind. It’s evident that ghosts are real in these surroundings, as Eleanor is not the only one to experience these happenings. But what about when she explores the house herself and feels herself to be more at home, in a way depicted creepier than it sounds? Is she being controlled by the paranormal forces, is she letting in to her hopes of belonging somewhere, are her insecurities getting the very best of her? I won’t go into too much detail about what I get out of the connection between her and Hill House, but trust me when I say it’s an excellent psychological study. And that this is a character who seeks redemption and acceptance within a haunted house makes it even more unnerving. -It’s hard to pick my favorite “scary moment,” as most people choose their own favorite scary moments from their favorite horror films (the opening in “Halloween,” the exorcism in “The Exorcist,” the shower scene in “Psycho,” and so on). There are literally more than I could think of right off the bat, and oddly enough, every time I watch the movie again, I find myself unnerved throughout the whole movie because of those many moments. To name some of these scenes, I’d start with the introduction in which we see in flashback (with help of Dr. Markway’s narration) the past historic happenings of Hill House (suicide, accidents, etc.)—it’s a great opening and also very well-crafted in how it’s able to set up the environment and build up suspense for the rest of the story, and of course quite unnerving. There’s the first occurrence on the characters’ first night in Hill House, as Eleanor and Theo are frightened by loud, pounding noises coming from outside their bedroom and hold onto one another in fear—the terror is genuine and the scares come as unexpected so that the characters’ fear becomes ours, because we know just about as much as they do. Most memorably, arguably, is the scene in which Eleanor awakens at night to hear what sounds like a child being beaten and crying in pain. She wants to yell but is too afraid to, and she holds hands with Theo who is obviously as frightened as she is because, as we hear through Eleanor’s inner thoughts, she is holding on to her hand a little too tightly. When she finally yells “STOP IT!” and the lights turn on, she looks to see that…nobody was holding her hand the whole time. This is a perfect “scary moment”—the buildup, the tension, and the payoff are all very well-handled, making the standard-but-needed question “Whose hand was I holding” seem all the more impactful. There are many more moments like that in this movie. And do I even need to mention that the aforementioned “tall, spiraling staircase” comes into place for a crucial moment later? -The casting of the four principal roles is spot-on. Julie Harris is excellent as Eleanor, creating a believable portrait of an odd, meek woman who is possibly misguided to find a place to feel accepted. It’s a great performance and it makes “The Haunting” more of a character study than a haunted-house story. Richard Johnson is also great as Dr. Markway, a man who could convince you to jump off a cliff if he found a solid reasoning behind it. I love the way he puts the supernatural occurrences most of us have heard of, particularly the difference between “ghosts” and “ghouls.” Claire Bloom makes Theo her own character and also gives a certain indication that she might actually be a lesbian, which could explain why she acts the way she does toward Eleanor (compassion mixed with teasing most of the time) and also would give another disturbing sense in the scenes when they’re the only ones in a room together. Bloom makes risky decisions with this role, but they’re never over-the-top and are played effectively. I even enjoyed Russ Tamblyn’s comic relief—as Luke, Tamblyn plays a man who doesn’t believe in the supernatural or the phenomena; he’s just protecting his investment after being left the house and simply enjoys poking fun at whatever experience or little detail that the other characters bring up. He’s a smooth, wisecracking guy who likes to drink and crack jokes (“This ghost I can expect in my room tonight—is it male or female?”), which makes his ultimate belief in what’s really happening here all the more effective because all this time, he has served as a representation for some of the more cynical audience members. When he finally seems as scared as everyone else, it’s believable. -The filmmaking serves as another reason “The Haunting” works as well as it does. A good number of shots in this movie looks like it’s been fully prepared for first, so that we feel a hint of unease and also fascination. Even the reaction shots, which are mostly thankless, say something about the consistency—some of them are even at low angles with characters on either the right or left side of the screen. With a location as grand as Hill House, it’s important to know how to frame certain shots and Robert Wise obviously went out of his way to create something unique. -“The Haunting” is undoubtedly my favorite horror film. Its scares are more than effective because of how much its psychological terror works well. The themes are very well-presented. The depictions of the “haunted” aspects of this house and the occurrences are fascinating to listen to. The lead character of Eleanor is a great character for this sort of story. And it fascinates me and of course continues to scare me every time I watch it. It’s a well-crafted, excellent chiller. -NOTE: I mentioned the brilliant opening lines earlier in this review. I should also add that the similar-sounding ending lines are even more chilling, particularly because of who says them. -Movability for associations is zero longer a solution; it’s a require, especially when a business wants towards stay on top within just the fast paced pace associated with today’s internet business environment.

Here, therapeutic springs bubble from under the sea to be captured in an ancient communal bathhouse as well as private pools. -These could be the hottest hot springs in Europe at a nearly scalding 45ºC (113ºF) which means you won’t be soaking for hours but will be alternating between cool sea dips and dips in the hot pot. The springs are rich in minerals and highly radioactive which apparently is part of their curative power. I’m not sure how all that radioactivity is healthy, but hey, I’m no Marie Curie, what do I know? People have flocked to these springs, believing them to be a powerful cure, for centuries. -The hot springs are only open in the warmer months.

Rockhounds will find specimens in a rainbow of colors and plentiful quartz. -Cliffs and boulders are swirly, stripy artworks. Streaks of blacks, pinks, greens, and golds infuse the rocky landscape like an abstract painting. Standing solitary on Golden Beach, admiring the Aegean Sea, with warm wind playing over the bizarre terrain, I feel such a strange energy; it feels like a place where one can conjure up magic. -Take the walk yourself, and you’ll see that Mother Nature already has. -Having recognized some of our childhood experiences and mistaken conclusions in parts 1 &2, here we continue to investigate the messages we received as children through people?s words, behaviors or attitudes. -If this process causes you to feel disturbed, seek the help of an experienced professional.

Nuclear fission generates a large amount of radiation and thermal energy. By artificially generating and controlling critical condition, nuclear power plants create thermal energy to produce electric power. -In the course of the nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, nuclear fuels inside the reactors of Unit 1 to 3 melted down and the debris is scattered at the bottom or outside below the reactor pressure vessels. In the accident, intense heat of the molten fuel melted the vessels and the fuel fell through the holes. Molten fuel solidified as abundant water was poured in and has been cooled by flowing water ever since. -Is there any possibility that this molten fuel (fuel debris) will become critical again? -To judge this, measurement of “radioactive noble gas” such as Xenon plays a big role. -Radioactive noble gas is an important indicator of the presence of criticality for it is created in fission reaction. -Gas discharged from the containment vessel which covers the pressure vessel is closely monitored by the “gas management system.” The system analyses the kind and amount of each component in real time. -Should there were any recriticality, radiation level of radioactive noble gases would increase indicating the presence of the state of criticality. The radioactivity level of radioactive noble gas at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant so far has been maintained at a very low level that is incomparable to what was observed in the critical state of the accident. -It has never increased as to show critical signs up until now. This signifies the nuclear fuel once melted in the accident is kept in stable condition (maintained in subcritical state). -Temperature of the now-defunct nuclear reactor in which molten nuclear fuel is cooled is also measured in real time. It is about the same as the outside temperature or a little colder (around 15 to 30 degrees). -This means heat accompanying criticality is not only generated but also the amount of heat emitted by the decay of radioactive materials is very small. -As a safety measure, equipments to inject boric acid water to halt the chain reaction of nuclear fission are installed in case re-criticality occurs. -A former supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari, Isa Mohammed Munlaila, on Thursday began trekking to Abuja from Lagos in protest at what he called the failure of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress to provide jobs for Nigerian youths. -Meanwhile, Munlaila lamented that people were suffering as the standard of living had gone up, adding that the president had failed to fulfill his promises to the people. -“Actually, I want to show my disappointment for this APC.

I agree with Naill that the 2d logo is a tad bit awkward. I would bet at a smaller scale and in print it is looks quite elegant, but this large scale isn’t doing it any favors. -I think the tone and esthetic quality of the type and symbols is very appropriate. It reminds me of the animated videos—which were keyed to Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue—that they would play preflight in United Airlines airplanes. I think that same grand, busy, and connected world tone is resonating here. -While the loxodrome and wordmark are a big improvement on the previous design, I think there’s a disconnect between the logo and the custom alphabet and icons. -I find the logo to be a bit forgettable although the loxodrome is really well done, but the alphabet and icons are truly lovely.

If you answered yes, then you are definitely not alone. This service is increasing in popularity across the globe. It makes it easier for students to handle their school requirements. But the nature of the service remains shrouded in controversy. After all, teachers and professors give out assignments for a reason. They are meant to boost the skills of students both inside and outside the classroom. This begs the question: Do assignment help services benefit or hurt students? -It’s easy to see the benefits of hiring assignments experts to aid in your academic pursuits. They solve the problem of insufficient time to do homework’s, especially if you take on multiple part-time jobs after school hours. As you know, writing essays or completing complicated assignments can take up a boatload of time. Between gathering information and adding the final touches, your assignment can take several hours to finish. -The speed with which you can finish your assignments with the help of service providers like the guys at Do My Assignments is another huge benefit. Most companies accept expedited requests for an extra fee. It’s possible to get your paper or assignment in as little as 24 hours. While these aforementioned benefits are surely hard to resist, it’s worth noting that using assignment writing services offers more than meets the eye. -At first, it might not appear to make sense that hiring assignment help providers can improve your research skills. You don’t even need to research about anything. They will do everything for you, and this is where you can get tips from the experts. -By looking at the final output of the assignment expert, you could see how much it differs from the homework’s you have done yourself. It shouldn’t come as a surprise if these differences are very noticeable. You could tell that time and effort has been dedicated to producing such a well-researched assignment. Even the references and links can help you with your future requirements, as you would see how much more credible your work will look like if the links aren’t limited to Wikipedia. -The same applies to your presentation skills. The way the essay, research paper, or assignment is formatted can give you ideas on how to better structure your content. Notice how the ideas flow smoothly throughout, allowing you to get the point across even without the use of fancy words. You probably have a “go-to” format for your essays, but you’ll realize that it doesn’t always work. -It’s easy to dismiss assignment writing services as only for lazy students who do not care at all about learning. But it’s important to understand that the students can enjoy much more than its time-saving benefits. With the help of experts, you can pick up some tips on how to research about a topic, what credible sources to use, and how to present your ideas in a way that engages readers. All of these can prove beneficial for any student, even the ones who do remarkably well in class. -I have already posted about some new lipstick launches but what about the eye shadows?

He has an ensemble that has released three albums, Home Piano Book (Volume One), Ensemble, and Leaf. He was previously an ambient electronic musician as Waves on Canvas. While not touring Stefano produces soundtracks and sound design for film, documentaries and video games. -Innerversitysound: Stefano, a bit of background first. You had a recent earlier electronic outfit called Waves on Canvas that produced electronic music that was received well enough given the scene. But nothing in comparison to the reception that your three albums with your ensemble. Can you tell us a bit about the departure from electronic music to a form of modern classical ensemble? What was the impetus for you for this break? -Stefano: Basically I had a graduation in electronic music from the conservatory in my town. I was very into electronic music and I had studied it a lot. But also from childhood I had a background in classical music because I studied organ, or an instrument with a keyboard. Then I made this Waves on Canvas project and it was very great for me and also it was a way of mine to give a rendition, or a proper tribute to what I was into when I was younger, especially 4AD stuff in the Ivo (Watts-Russell) era. But in regarding electronic music I’ve got this mixed feeling. Especially nowadays when everyone can buy a computer, a laptop and record some seagulls or birds with their smartphone and then download a version of Ableton Live, add some effects, some tweaks and then claim himself an electronic musician or a drone music musician. -One of the reasons for the change was I wanted to take a distance from all of this because now a lot of people, a lot really, are making electronic music. If you take an example of the 90’s when buying music gear was really expensive and it wasn’t something that was ready at hand for everyone, which wasn’t a good thing anyway, because in my opinion everyone should have the opportunity to say something musically. It was different, now everyone is making electronic music and to my personal subjective perception most of them sound the same. Because they are done with the same environment, the same software, a laptop and so forth. This was one of the reasons but I also just wanted to get back to simple things and try to say something musically, just for me. Interested in just a few things, natural acoustic sounds for instance, and I wanted to get back to my roots, because when I was younger I was just playing an instrument as well. So this is something that really made me decide to be just me, myself, and just work with simple natural sounds. From time to time I had some electronicia, some simple sine waves and simple elements, like little noises, but these are just things that in electronic music are considered a simple thing, a sine wave. These are things you can also find in the works of Stockhausen or Xenakis, basically in the pioneers of electronic music. So we are not talking about synthesisers or computers but more about tapes. So I just decided to change and I’m ok with this decision really. -Innerversitysound:In interviews you have mentioned a wide range of influences from industrial, indie pop, German electronic music, drum and bass, ambient, and the ethereal electronic pop of your teenage years. The early band of yours Antennah, what was the ideas that drove you and your friend Valentinno Murru? -Stefano: When I was a child I was playing the organ and when I was a teenager I discovered New Wave bands, Joy Division and that kind of stuff from about 1986. So my decision was to buy a bass, I was a bass player and we just formed this band. We just wanted to make something new, quite naïve. It was great but after about five years I just wanted to make something else and this electronic music thing in me started when I was very young I had this computer in my house and I started programming this computer to make simple sounds and to play by pressing the keys of the keyboard while I was playing the organ. So I was tweaking a home computer to make some sounds and noises and this was my very first approach to electronic music. So after I was in a band for five years, playing the bass, I felt a real need, an urgency to widen my palette of sounds so I decided to leave them and start making electronic music. From 1992 until 2006 I was making electronic music. -The last thing I did, apart from the Waves on Canvas project was a collection of remixes for Kirsten Hersch, the singer for Throwing Muses, because in a period around 2006-7 she was recording the tracks of her new album and releasing the tracks of the songs on the web. So I was just taking the vocal parts and doing the rest, a brand new arrangement with new chords, new tonal centre. Just then I was just starting to think differently about electronic music. So this is just my background, I was taught classical music, I played bass in a band but in the meantime I was still tweaking my computer at home, I embraced electronic music, but now it is like being back home again. Just being what I was when I started making music when I was a child. -Innerversitysound: So the immediate reception of At Home Piano Book (Volume One) on Home Normal was decisive in its endorsement of your new approach to music. Can you tell us a bit about this album and how the collaboration with Ian Hawgood came about? -Stefano: Basically I started making these little compositions on the piano, they were just little ideas. I sat at the piano when I had ideas and if I felt they were interesting I just recorded the scratch idea on the iPad. So then I started to compose them properly with a kind of structure and my idea was to make a collection of piano impressions, like little water colours, something like that. Nothing too serious. I sent a few of those tracks to Ian, about 5 years back and he was really into those tracks. Then we started emailing and I felt quite lucky, because when you have a label like Home Normal, which is kind of busy, there are a lot of people sending stuff, I felt lucky anyway. And then we became friends. Of course there is a mutual friendship now between the artist and the label as well. I wanted to keep that feeling of playing in a room, a very simple thing. -Innerversitysound: You are incorporating minimal electronic touches and processing. Has it receded so far into the background that it may eventually disappear? Or has the impression of the knowledge gained by exposure to these forms indelibly informed your composition of classic forms? -Stefano: There is a future release that will be out in September that is based on a work of a friend of mine who makes paintings and cartoons as well. He was living in Japan for about 9 years, he worked with Sakamoto, designed a Swatch and he made this last book about his memories in Japan. I was really inspired by his latest work because I love Japanese culture as well and then I wrote and produced this new album called Japanese Notebooks. It features some electronicia, but very subtle, there is also some in Leaf. It is just a little colour and nothing that characterises too much the overall sound. What I still like about elements that come from electronic are the sub-basses and that round warm feeling. And that is just from a simple sine wave, a regular oscillation of a wave. Yes there is still electronic music but very few and just in a very delicate measure. I am planning to use some electronic elements like arpeggios of simple waves to be a part of an arrangement in the future. I am thinking about this idea but mostly it is just acoustic music. I don’t want to be a second hand Max Richter or things like that because mostly I am still exploring and looking for a language of mine of course for otherwise it would not be very useful to be out there and be a clone of someone. -Innerversitysound: You formed an ensemble which is a change from the solitary electronic musician. It involves a good deal more interpersonal communication. How did forming this ensemble come about and can you tell us a bit about the dynamics of working with 3 other people in an ensemble has changed your practice? -Stefano: If you make electronic music for instance, you have a very immediate response to what you are doing because you are just playing sounds with a machine. You have got those sounds, just suddenly. When you score, when you write music on a score, yes you can make sounds to make a sort of pre-production of what you have in mind. But then again when you play with real players it will sound different again. So it’s really exciting and interesting because a player is not a machine and he will play differently every time and it will depend on how tired he is from his feeling of the day; a lot of variations can happen and anyway real instruments forever change. Yes the real feeling is in the score but the overall feeling of the track can change of course. This is something that fascinates me a lot because we are humans, we are faulty humans by nature so it’s great to transpose this aspect into music. We are not talking about recorded music that will sound the same every time you play it to your friends but music that will change every time and it’s great. I love this, I really need this aspect from music to be alive, in a way. -Innerversitysound: In Quiet Fracture on the Leaf album is the most sound designed piece of the recent few albums. Is this interlude kind of thing going to happen more often or was it something that just occurred in the making of the album. -Stefano: Yes, Leaf, it’s an album of that started when my father started being ill. And my father now has a very serious illness. And this illness was showing by some very strange events like from time to time he was falling but we underestimated what was happening. Quiet Fracture is about something that is very slowly starts to go, in this case it was my father, and then shows in itself completely. So there are some steps and some laughter from a few women. This is quite symbolistic about something that starts to show inside and then grows as a big laughter. Yes that album it is written, ‘from my father, to my father’ and it was a very bad time and for some reasons it still is. It’s quite personal to be honest. -Innerversitysound: In reading background material about what you do I stopped at you commenting that you had adopted a very simple attitude towards life and music generally. If you could elaborate on this turn to simplicity and its effects on the whole of what you do in life. -Stefano: Simplicity, simple things, it is a value that I make mine a lot. For instance my decision to move on from electronic music to apparently more simple music. Like the title Leaf, it is just a small green element that we see on the side of the road, in the trees, but if you move your attention to the inner structure of the leaf, in this structure you see a lot of little path roads and this is a clear symptom that simplicity shows us a different world if you take the right pathways and if you approach simplicity with the right attitude. I have been doing Zen meditation for about 10 years in my life so I am really attached to a simple approach to life which is not a basic approach. It is just simple because then by embracing simplicity you can embrace the complexity of life as well. So it is something very connected. Like for instance when I was making electronic music I had complexity at hand very easy because of sounds, because of all those electronic elaborations on sounds as well. But to me it wasn’t that interesting anymore. But if you use just simple sounds and you give them the proper attention to the inner structure of a simple acoustic sound, it has a lot of things that change every time. Like if you struck a note on the piano and every time it will resonate differently and this is apparently a simple sound which it definitely is not. This is an example of simplicity not being simple at all. Simplicity being a great and a good example of the complexity of life itself. Because simple things to me are just the first side of the real complexity of life. -Innerversitysound: Your album Japanese Notebooks is slated for later this year. Is it completed yet, or is it still in production or in Ian Hawgood’s very long cue for mastering? -Stefano: The album is just finished, mixed and mastered. I finished it in January and I am leaving it to ‘take the dust’ for 4 to 5 months and then I will listen to it again to fix a few things with fresh ears and a fresh mind because you have to take the distance from things at a certain point. Possibly, I don’t know yet, I will ask someone to master it. I still have to decide. I usually master things myself, I am very much of a DIY person, and I really love this attitude. I do almost everything about my job; like promoting, producing, I have my own label as well, Stella Recordings, for my stuff, so it’s really important for me to have most of the things under my control. I rarely work with people, one of these ones is Ian because I really trust him, we are friends, but I really trust Ian and his approach to music. So this album is basically finished, I just have to fix a few things here and there. But that’s it really. -Innerversitysound: In terms of ambitions, or strategies when this simplicity gets a bit tricky and demanding. Have you an escape plan lined up? -Stefano: My escape plan is that I will always have to be honest with myself and correct about what I am doing at the moment. And when all of this won’t work anymore I will ask myself what is happening and if I won’t have any reply for myself, I always tell myself and to my future wife as well, maybe I will stop making music as well. I hate the idea of riding the wave of what is going on at the moment because I wouldn’t be honest to myself and mostly I would be wasting my time. Because it is not written anywhere in the sky that I have to make music. Maybe there will be a time when I just have to stop, or maybe not. I don’ know. But what I know is that my only escape is just to be honest with myself and ask myself directly what’s happening and add a proper reply, never be negative or positive. I hope positive. -Leaf is out now on Stella Recordings and digitally on Home Normal. -The Graduate Law degree is a graduate entry course in law, completion of which forms the basis for admission to legal practice in New South Wales and Western Australia.

The 5th Congressional District of Colorado is the epicenter of national defense space, and I had a productive conversation on everything Colorado Springs has to offer, including coming decisions on topics such as where U.S. Space Command will be located. -I was honored to have met the brave Navy Seal who killed Osama Bin Laden. I’m thankful for his service and sacrifice to our country. -On March 23rd I had the privilege of presenting awards to the winners of the Congressional Art Competition here in the Fifth District. I've been amazed at the great artistic talents of the young people in the Colorado Fifth Congressional District over the years of judging the competition. This gives me the chance to meet the best and brightest young men and women of the District. This year we recognized the teachers of the students, as they're the primary shapers of our young people's artistic talent. The art competition provides us with a wonderful opportunity to showcase the abilities of our District's brilliant young artists to the rest of the nation. Once the winners have been selected by a local panel of professional artists, the Grand Prize winner's art displayed in the United States Capitol Building for one year. It's always a joy to walk by the artwork of our young students and admire their hard work and artistic ability I look forward to seeing the work of this year's winner displayed alongside that of other brilliant young artists from across America. -I was honored to receive the True Blue Award from the Family Research Council. Consistently voting pro-life and pro-family is important to me. -Rep. Lamborn rallied for Jack Phillips today while the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission case. Jack doesn’t violate any proper understanding of nondiscrimination laws. He serves all people, but declines some requests for custom cakes that conflict with his faith. That is not a form of unlawful discrimination, but a legitimate exercise of his artistic and religious freedom. -Rep. Lamborn and Rep. Lee Zeldin (NY-01) join Stuart and Robbi Force, the parents of Taylor Force, whom H.R. 1165 was named for after his murder by Palestinian Authority funded terrorism. The Palestinian Authority allocates hundreds of millions of dollars annually to pay terrorists to murder innocent Israelis and Americans. The bill is an important first step in ending U.S. tax dollars from supporting terrorists who kill innocents like Taylor. -After nearly two years, the Mueller report is now available to the public, and it shows NO collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia. It is time to move away from the false collusion allegations that stem from the Democrats and the media. I voted to make the report public because I believe the government should be transparent, and my constituents deserve to read the findings of the report. I hope this will finally end all of the partisan games so we may focus on our jobs, and continue with the legislative agenda to better our country. -I applaud the Senate for confirming Colorado native David Bernhardt as the next Secretary of the Interior. I believe Bernhardt will continue to use his vast experience to remove burdensome federal regulations and advance policies that will benefit Colorado. -This makes an excellent wedding Gift! -1 Oblong Casserole dish measuring 14 1/2" from handle to handle, width 8 1/4", depth 2". -1 Large Oval Serving Platter ~Measuring 12” x 9” .. -All are free of cracks and chips.

It’s such an honor to be able to help people grow in their personal leadership skills and pursue their true purpose and passions to make a huge impact in the world. I love facilitating “a-ha moments” for people and guiding them towards success. I never thought I would become a coach because I didn’t even know that the coaching industry existed until about 3 years ago. Since then, I learned more about it, volunteered and practiced it as much as I could, and took steps to call this my career. Today, I wanted to answer some FAQs for people who are interested in becoming a coach or adding coaching skills to their repertoire. As you read this, imagine us chatting together at a coffee shop with the freedom for you to pick my brain. My hope is that this gives you more insight to the industry and provides a little bit of direction of your next steps. -Q: I love helping people. I’ve always enjoyed mentoring and guiding younger people. Is coaching right for me? A: Yes! The heart of coaching is helping people to figure out what they want, why they want it, and provide the support and accountability for them to be successful. When you get down to it, a coach sees someone for their potential and equips them with the skills and resources for them to be the best version of themselves. A coach is someone who wants to facilitate change, growth, and get people from where they are now to where they want to be. It’s definitely considered to be a “helping profession.” It doesn’t necessarily have to be with someone younger than you, but people tend to work with coaches that they can relate to. The question to ask yourself is, “WHY do you want to become a coach?” Get clear on your definition of success. If it’s genuinely to help people get better in a motivating way, then coaching may be a good fit for you. -Q: What are my options as a coach? // What can I do as a coach? A: There are many paths you can take, or make yourself! Typically you could: be to go-to coach for your current company, be a coach that consults for other companies, or start your own private coaching business/practice. There are many different niches as well: including health/wellness, business, life, executive, leadership and success, and career. Or, you could get coach training for basic coach skills (communication, listening, asking questions, goal-setting/accountability) that could equip you to be a better leader in your current job. -Q: How can I get started with coaching? A: Start Where You Are! First, if you’ve never experienced working with a coach yourself, I highly encouraged you to do it. That way, you know first-hand what it’s all about. You can go to local workshops and seminars hosted by a coach, or invest in working with one yourself. Then, the best way to see if coaching is right for you as a career is to engage in opportunities to learn and practice coaching. Find people and opportunities where you can offer your listening ear and expertise. If you're working 9-5, what are some ways you can add value to your company by helping others grow? For example, it could be a book club, speaking in a professional development series, or creating an accountability group. The key is to find practical ways to practice (even if it’s on your friends!) Think of it as an experiment: Who do I love to help? What kind of problems are they dealing with? What value am I providing them? Do I even like this? -Something you can try to practice with people one-on-one: create a survey asking questions about people’s needs and desires, send it out to friends and people in your network, and offer a mini-coaching session to those who have filled it out. This gives you a better idea of what people need and are looking for, and also real-world experience in coaching people. -Q: Do I need training or certification? A: Getting training is like the difference between between street smart and and school smart. You may naturally have great coaching skills, but training hones them to take to the next level. I like to think of it like the difference between a street basketball player and a professional one. A street basketball player is naturally skilled and may have fun playing the game, but when you’re ready to go pro, training helps provide structure and expertise, and confidence in helping you know what you’re doing. Coach training is an investment and can range from $500-$2000 per module (and even up to $10,000 for the whole shebang), so carefully consider it before going all in. I went to Erickson International, and have heard good things about Co-Active Coach Training, and Lifeforming. -Certification is getting officially registered by the International Coach Federation. You need to have at coach training and at least 100 hours in order to apply. It’s a great route to consider if you value professional development, and a must-have if you want to work for corporate companies for executive/leadership coaching. A lot of corporate companies will only hire coaches with those credentials. But if you worked with clients one-on-one in your own private practice, it’s not necessary. Keep in mind that clients buy for results. As long as you provide value and results, clients will be happy to work with you. -Building a business takes a lot of time and persistence. It’s one thing to be a great coach but it’s another thing to be a great business owner. It takes a lot of focused intention and attention, and it doesn’t happen overnight. I always say that building a business is the BEST personal development because you’re always learning new things (that constantly keep changing) and pushing yourself to grow. -People don’t buy coaching, they buy results. This is a marketing thing. To more clear you are about who you help and how you help them, they better chance you’ll find the people you’re meant to serve and get paying clients. I naively thought that saying “I can coach!” would attract people to me. Instead, I had to learn some savvy marketing skills and get clear on my audience, message, and services. -Things are constantly changing. Things within the industry are constantly changing. The coach I was one year ago is way different than the coach I am today (for the better!) Business is the same way. Things that worked before may not worked now. So I’m constantly experimenting with new marketing channels and offerings. I like the challenge of trying new things, but I’m also balancing it with trying to remain consistent in things like my voice and helpful habits. -Invest in things that matter. Some people may think the only expenses needed for an online coaching business is a laptop, internet, and a phone (which you already have). But realistically, start-up costs could be education, training, web site/marketing materials/branding, office supplies, legal fees, etc. Those things add up. It’s good to have a budget to set aside money to invest in things to matter to you. For me, that was education, branding, and working with a coach. -Q: What are your favorite books/resources? A: I love reading! Here’s a list of my recommended books for leadership, business, and creativity. I continue to add to the list, so let me know what your recommendations are! -I hope this Q+A session helped you get a better peek into our world and give you clarity for the direction of your coach journey. My vision is that someday coaching will become more mainstreamed and that everyone would be equipped with basic coaching skills. Wouldn’t that be AWESOME?! -Leave your comments or questions below and SHARE the love on your favorite social media channels! -Residential buildings account for a significant amount of the national energy consumption of all OECD countries and consequently the EU and the Netherlands. Therefore, the national targets for CO2 reduction should include provisions for a more energy efficient building stock for all EU member states. -National and European level policies the past decades have improved the quality of the building stock by setting stricter standards on the external envelope of newly made buildings, the efficiency of the mechanical and heating components, the renovation practices and by establishing an energy labelling system. Energy related occupancy behavior is a significant part, and relatively unchartered, of buildings’ energy consumption. This thesis tried to contribute to the understanding of the role of the occupant related to the energy consumption of residential buildings by means of simulations and experimental data obtained by an extensive measurement campaign. -The first part of this thesis was based on dynamic building simulations in combination with a Monte Carlo statistical analysis, which tried to shed light to the most influential parameters, including occupancy related ones, that affect the energy consumption and comfort (a factor that is believed to be integral to the energy related behavior of people in buildings). The reference building that was used for the simulations was the TU Delft Concept House that was built for the purposes of the European project SusLab NWE. The concept house was simulated as an A energy label (very efficient) and F label (very inefficient) dwelling and with three different heating systems. -The analysis revealed that if behavioral parameters are not taken into account, the most critical parameters affecting heating consumption are the window U value, window g value, and wall conductivity. When the uncertainty of these parameters increases, the impact of the wall conductivity on heating consumption increases considerably. The most important finding was that when behavioral parameters like thermostat use and ventilation flow rate are added to the analysis, they dwarf the importance of the building parameters in relation to the energy consumption. For the thermal comfort (the PMV index was used as the established model for measuring indoor thermal comfort) the most influential parameters were found to be metabolic activity and clothing, while the thermostat had a secondary impact. -The simulations were followed by an extensive measurement campaign where an in-situ, non-intrusive, wireless sensor system was installed in 32, social housing, residential dwellings in the area of Den Haag. This sensor system was transmitting quantitative data such as temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and motion every five minutes for a period of six months (the heating period between November to April) and from every room of the 32 dwellings that participated in the campaign. Furthermore, subjective data were gathered during an initial inspection during the installation of the sensor system, concerning the building envelope, the heating and ventilation systems of the dwellings. More importantly though, subjective data were gathered related to the indoor comfort of the occupants with the use of an apparatus that was developed specifically for the SusLab project. This gimmick, named the comfort dial, allowed us to capture data such as the occupants’ comfort level in the PMV 7 point scale. In addition further comfort related data like the occupants’ clothing ensemble, actions related to thermal comfort, and their metabolic activity were captured with the use of a diary. The subjective data measurement session lasted for a week for each dwelling. These data were time coupled real time with the quantitative data that were gathered by the sensor system. -The data analysis focused on the two available indoor thermal comfort models, Fanger’s PMV index and the adaptive model. Concerning the PMV model the analysis showed that while the neutral temperatures are well predicted by the PMV method, the cold and warm sensations are not. It appears that tenants reported (on a statistically significant way) comfortable sensations while the PMV method does not predict such comfort. This indicates a certain level of psychological adaptation to occupant’s expectations. Additionally it was found that although clothing and metabolic activities were similar among tenants of houses with different thermal quality, the neutral temperature was different. Specifically in houses with a good energy rating, the neutral temperature was higher than in houses with a poor rating. -Concerning the adaptive model, which was developed as the answer to the discrepancies of Fanger’s model related to naturally ventilated buildings (the majority of the residential sector), data analysis showed that while indoor temperatures are within the adaptive model’s comfort bandwidth, occupants often reported comfort sensations other than neutral. In addition, when indoor temperatures were below the comfort bandwidth, tenants often reported that they felt ‘neutral’. The adaptive model could overestimate as well as underestimate the occupant’s adaptive capacity towards thermal comfort. Despite the significant outdoors temperature variation, the indoor temperature of the dwellings, as well as the clothing of the tenants, were largely constant. Certain actions towards thermal comfort such as ‘turning the thermostat up’ were taking place while tenants were reporting thermal sensation ‘neutral’ or ‘a bit warm’. This indicates that either there is an indiscrimination among the various thermal sensation levels or alliesthesia, a new concept introduced by the creators of the adaptive model, plays an increased role. Most importantly there was an uncertainty on whether the neutral sensation means at the same time comfortable sensation while many actions are happening out of habit and not in order to improve one’s thermal comfort. A chi² analysis showed that only six actions were correlated to thermal sensation in thermally poorly efficient dwellings, and six in thermally efficient dwellings. -Finally, the abundance of data collected during the measurement campaign led the last piece of research of this thesis to data mining and pattern recognition analysis. Since the introduction of computers, the way research is performed has changed significantly. Huge amounts of data can be gathered and handled by evermore faster computers; the analysis of these data a couple of decades ago would take years. -Sequential pattern mining reveals frequently occurring patterns from time-ordered input streams of data. A great deal of nature behaves in a periodic manner and these strong periodic elements of our environment have led people to adopt periodic behavior in many aspects of their lives such as the time they wake up in the morning, the daily working hours, the weekend days off, the weekly sports practice. These periodic interactions could extend in various aspects of our lives including the relationship of people with their home thermal environment. Repetitive behavioural actions in sensor rich environments, such as the dwellings of the measurement campaign, can be observed and categorized into patterns. These discoveries could form the basis of a model of tenant behaviour that could lead to a self-learning automation strategy or better occupancy data to be used for better predictions of building simulating software such as Energy+ or ESP-r and others. -The analysis revealed various patterns of behaviour; indicatively 59% of the dwellings during the morning hours (7-9 a.m.) were increasing their indoor temperature from 20 oC< T< 22 oC to T> 22oC or that the tenants of 56% of the dwellings were finding the temperature 20 oC< T< 22 oC to be a bit cool and even for temperatures above 22 oC they were having a warm shower leading to the suspicion that a warm shower is a routine action not related to thermal comfort. -Such pattern recognition algorithms can be more effective in the era of mobile internet, which allows the capturing of huge amounts of data. Increased computational power can analyse these data and define useful patterns of behaviour that could be tailor made for each dwelling, for each room of a dwelling, even for each individual of a dwelling. The occupants could then have an overview of their most common behavioural patterns, see which ones are energy consuming, which ones are related to comfort and which are redundant, and therefore, could be discarded leading to energy savings. In any case the balance between indoor comfort and energy consumption will be the final factor that would lead the occupant to decide on a customised model of his indoor environment. -The general conclusion of this thesis is that the effect of energy related occupancy behaviour on the energy consumption of dwellings should not be statistically defined for large groups of population. There are so many different types of people inhabiting so many different types of dwellings that embarking in such a task would be a considerable waste of time and resources. -The future in understanding the energy related occupancy behaviour, and therefore using it towards a more sustainable built environment, lies in the advances of sensor technology, big data gathering, and machine learning. Technology will enable us to move from big population models to tailor made solutions designed for each individual occupant. -If you are interested in the new Ram 1500, Dodge Grand Caravan, Jeep Grand Cherokee or Chrysler 300, the Crown Auto World Bristow new car dealership is your connection for a superb inventory of new cars.

You’re “One Jump Ahead” of the crowd, since Aladdin tickets are some of the most popular in New York this year. -Based on the 1992 Disney animated film of the same name, Aladdin is the story of a young “street rat” in the city of Agrabah whose life is forever changed when he meets Jasmine, the princess who refuses to marry any of her suitors, wandering the city in disguise (“A Million Miles Away”). -Aladdin is immediately smitten, but when Jasmine is “rescued” by the guards, Aladdin is only saved from execution by the interference of the Sultan’s Vizier Jafar. Jafar recruits Aladdin to steal a golden lamp from an enchanted cave, but before he can return the lamp Aladdin releases Genie, and receives three wishes from him (“Friend Like Me”). -Aladdin uses Genie’s power to become the fabulously wealthy “Prince Ali” and court Jasmine (“A Whole New World”). However, he must now contend with the fury of Jafar, who wants to use the power of the genie to become Sultan himself. -So what would wish for if you got three wishes from Genie? How about tickets to Aladdin, Broadway’s hottest new Disney musical? -Aladdin was written based on the 1992 Disney animated movie, with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman, Tim Rice and Chad Beguelin and book also by Chad Beguelin. It premiered at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle in July 2011. Other productions of the musical played in Ivins from June–October 2012, St. Louis in July 2012 and Toronto from November 2013 to January 2014. -Previews for the Broadway production began on February 26, 2014, with an official opening on March 20 at the New Amsterdam Theatre. It was nominated for Best Musical in 2014 and continues to play on Broadway indefinitely, so come get your tickets for Aladdin now! -Never overpay for Aladdin tickets again! -Check CHARGED to stay up to date on Aladdin tickets! -Over last weekend while I was reading the newspaper, I came across an article by Janice Tay, a freelance writer, who was studying in a Japanese language school in Kyoto. It was time for her and her classmates to graduate and time for them to bid Sayoranara to each other. They had been in Kyoto for a year and a half and some of them had grown so attach to each other that it was hard for some of them to say goodbye. I believe that most of us would be able to relate to what they felt as we had already gone through similar experience in our lives. -They were having a farewell party at the pub and everyone was drinking and catching up for the last time before going their separate way. It had gone to a point whereby some were getting emotional and were weeping. In that moment, someone said, “Don’t cry – everyone will be friends forever.” Yes. That is true to certain extent and only for a few. I particularly agree with the author’s point of view that ‘keeping in touch with someone you can’t see and hear takes energy and imagination that few have.‘ If you and the person you are keeping in touch with believe in this. There will be a good chance to be friends forever. Otherwise, one will find it challenging even to find time to send an email. Friends forever – it is possible when both sides make time and effort plus a right portion of expectation. In fact, what is being said here can be applied to most relationships. In order to make a relationship work, it takes a good amount of communication but you will need to find time and to put in the effort to communicate in the first place. -Well, the key thing in the article that caught my attention was not how to be friends forever but rather in a statement that Janice wrote ‘You can’t take today with you.‘ What immediately came across my mind when I was reading it is that the statement makes a lot of positive sense. It reminds me of a quotation by Helen Keller. -How often have you come across someone who told you that he/she had just broken up? Most initial response will be, “You will find someone new.” And isn’t that true for most people … eventually? The ones that never found someone new, most probably they never allowed themselves to start looking again after they went through the unhappy relationship. -For one who believes that thing always happened for a reason, one will not have any challenges of moving on. You may ask me, “For what reason it happened?” What I can say is that we may not always see the reason immediately when it happened but when we do, it will be like “Ahem, so that’s why!” And sometimes we may not even realise the reason. -We can’t take today with us … so we have to continue to move forward with the faith that tomorrow will be better and a lot of times, it really depends on ourselves to make tomorrow better. I wish goodness in everyday of your life and that you will have the courage to move forward fearlessly. -Well said. Why do we only think about the good ol’ memories when a relationship end? -Shouldn’t we be dwelling on the parts that hurt the most in it which brings us to the ending? -Human minds are strange in selecting only the good things to remember at the wrong time. -Well BK, I must say that you must be really inspired these days to come up with such a moving journal. -Anyway,I definitely agree that one should let go of the past, especially the ones that brought them excruciating experience (pain). However, the lesson it brought that person should be kept forever, thus giving him/her the opportunity to use them as he /she goes forward in his/her life. -No matter how painful a situation can be, at the end of the road, a ray of light is waiting to be caught. So, always look at the brighter side of every situation! -It’s the art of letting go. Very nice article. I will dig it. -The answer was ‘No’ naturally. Exactly! In order for you to put another glass of water at the same corner, the first glass of water must be removed. The same applies. I agree with you totally that lessons must be learnt from the past experience. -Very true. It is not always easy to live in the now. One is constantly thinking of yesterday or tomorrow. When only TODAY counts. Like your blog. -your attitude and choices of the past. -the choices you make today! -That will make a difference tomorrow! -Hi Nihal, you are definitely right, we have “only one life chance” to live. -I love this post. It’s just so true. -I especially liked your question about how you would play the game if you knew that by putting in 100% you would win. -Your attitude can truly make you or break you. -Jane @ Kidzaramas last blog post..Do You Get Dressed Up To Go Out? -Excellent post BK…you only get one today…so making the most of it & watching out for those “open doors” makes all the difference 🙂 Hanging onto things that can’t be saved doesn’t do much good for anyone. -@ Shawie, the art of detachment is truly a challenge to learn and yet it gives us freedom. -@ Chelle, you are right; hanging onto things that can’t be saved doesn’t do much good for anyone and yet it is such a challenge for a lot of people to learn to let go and move on; Just as water left a trail wherever it passed. -Tinas last blog post..HOW DO YOU THINK MAN WAS MADE? -very well written and totally agree with you. -One chance, truly. Great writing. -Stefans last blog post..Is the lifestyle in America too convenient? -I had to swallow real big on this one. What a beautiful post. wow…for me, I just need to read this over and over and over again. I guess that is what time is for. -Thank you for such a truly heartfelt post. -@ Cricket, when I first read the article, I felt a big knock on my head and the bell seemed to be ringing. Some may call it enlightenment. However, it makes so much sense to me that the thought starts to flow in my mind and eventually this article. Thank you for enjoying this post and hope that you might help you in ways it did for me. -wow BK! you’re so inspired huh! -it’s so true about relationships. i’ve tried communicating again with old friends with the hope of reviving old friendships, but it seems some are leading and living different lives. but there are few who are still the same old friends i’ve known even without constant communication. -@ Cricket, glad that it did. Have a great weekend! -That was a great post – really enjoyed the reminder! -dang! i am so stupid! im sorry bk, i thought you were a lady. 🙁 i hope you’ll forgive me. -@ Fashion Forward, it is simple truth and yet very challenging in action. Very often people are unwilling to let it go. Letting go is something we all need to do. It will take practice. -I’ve moved a lot in my adult life. And I’ve asked myself those same kinds of questions. Is there really a point to keeping up with someone that you can’t see or spend time with. I’ve definitely come to the conclusion that when one door seems like it’s closing, trying to hold it open is the wrong way to go. -@ Ben, much as we must not be ever ready to give up without a fight, we must know when to let go when holding on is doing more harm to us. The challenge is always knowing when to fight and when to let go. -.-= rainboy´s last blog ..Happy Birthday 😀 =-. -I guess it is alright to be caught up in the moment and wail about being apart and all, for it is the only way to really show that our friends really matter and have been a big part of our lives. However people tend to cling on to those memories for too long at times that they do more harm than good. I love your post 🙂 Awesome blog. -.-= yileen´s last blog ..euphoria =-. -On of the key elements for most cloud solutions and hosting environments is networking.

We will cover proper CIDR selection, region selection, and deploy new virtual networks. -Last summer I took a cross-country road trip with a group of people driving different types of electric vehicles. -It was an amazing experience, and our trip, our adventures, and our misadventures were portrayed in the documentary Kick Gas. -That experience gave me the idea to take my own road trip to experience the freedom of traveling alone on an electric motorcycle. -My goals were simple: ride the great motorcycle roads of America, meet other electric motorcycle riders, and visit friends. -The cross-country trip last summer taught me that charging stations are plentiful near cities, but sparse near the good roads. By "good roads" I mean the mountainous, twisty, curvy, windy, fun roads you dream about when buying a motorcycle! -To take road trips in an electric vehicle as easily as in a gas-powered vehicle, two things are necessary: a car with a highway range of 150-plus miles, plus DC fast charging available every 50 miles. That would be a good beginning as we await an affordable 1,000-mile battery. -Currently drivers must rely on the availability of public and private charging stations to venture further than half the range of their electric vehicle. This creates a bit of an adventure if you want to take a journey of, say, 4,000 miles. -Public charging stations are easiest to access. On the East Coast, you can show up at a charging station and pretty much expect that nobody else will be plugged in. -That's not the case in California, which has a much higher density of electric vehicles--at least some of them already using the charging station you've just arrived at. -My favorite public charging stations are at restaurants, so I have a place to eat and relax while my vehicle is charging. On this trip, I stopped at several Cracker Barrel restaurants in Tennessee and a Makuto's Japanese restaurant in Boone, North Carolina. -Car dealerships will let motorcycles charge, although not always electric cars of another make. Nissan in particular has outfitted their dealerships with 240-Volt Lvel 2 chargers, and more recently, some of them now have high-powered CHAdeMO DC fast chargers. -Even dealerships that normally only allow charging by cars sold by that dealer will allow me to plug in my electric motorcycle, since it's unique. Some dealers happily let me charge, others let me charge after a little conversation. -Still, recharging my electric bike at a car dealer proved less than ideal, since they're often far from food or anywhere interesting to hang out. -Personal homes are fun if you plan ahead. I've met some interesting folks who make their home Level 2 charging stations available to travelers by listing them on the PlugShare app. They are lovely people, and meeting them is a fun part of being an early adopter. -Clearly, though, using someone's home charging station is not a sustainable way to propel electric vehicles forward. -The fun riding part of my journey began in Front Royal, Virginia, on Skyline Drive going through the Shenandoah Mountains. The road winds its way around the mountaintops and was designed as a sightseeing project by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression of the 1930s. -After a great day on Skyline Drive, I got to ride through the back woods around Blacksburg, Virginia, until I reached the glorious Blue Ridge Parkway. The road is absolutely incredible, flowing through farmland and mountains on either side for miles and miles. -I made a brief stop in Asheville to swing -dance to bluegrass music with friends from Italy; I rode to the top of Mt. Mitchell, and then I headed to the best motorcycle road in America, known as the Dragon. -After riding the Dragon, I headed to Nashville to visit some electric-motorcycle friends, and we headed down the famous Natchez Trace Parkway. This is another phenomenally beautiful road with scenic stops and meandering curves that caress the local terrain. -The first half of my journey ended in St. Louis, where I attended my cousin's wedding and visited the Country Music Hall of Fame. My trip was broken up because I had to fly back to New York City for a week, but I'll resume today--traveling to Chicago, Cleveland, and Rochester, New York, on my way to ride up New Hampshire's Mount Washington. -1) It's still an adventure to take an electric-vehicle road trip (unless you're driving a Tesla using the company's Supercharger network). -2) While it's easy to find charging stations, they're not always guaranteed to be available. They could be in use already, not working at all, or--worst of all--they might be "ICEd," or blocked by a thoughtless driver of an internal-combustion engine (ICE) car. -3) Most people at RV campgrounds are super-nice! I've shown up to many campgrounds unannounced, and most were incredibly welcoming and let me recharge my motorcycle for free (even though I always offer to pay the dollar or so for the electricity). -4) To take a road trip in any electric vehicle, you need to plan ahead. At the start of each day, I decided where my stops for charging would be--including alternate locations if available. -6) A couple of RV parks have claimed that they needed to replace receptacles to their 50-Amp hookup after a Tesla used it. This should be further investigated, as electric-vehicle owners very much don't want to burn those bridges or create any distrust of our community on the part of park owners. -7) When I learn a Tesla has stopped at an RV park, the park operators will often ask me for $10 or more to recharge (my bike uses maybe $0.60 of electricity). This highlights the fact that most people have no idea how much electricity costs--and no one understands how much electricity different electric vehicles use. My motorcycle battery holds one-tenth the energy of a Tesla battery, so the cost for electricity is a factor of 10 less--but I often have to explain that slowly and carefully. -The fruit coasters are ornament and very colorful.

Mark’s specialties are in Web analytics (he joined IBM as part of its acquisition of Coremetrics) and Internet privacy, an issue that has come to the forefront in recent years for digital marketers around the globe. -Effective Web metrics are critical to the success of businesses looking to succeed in e-commerce and digital marketing these days, and IBM has a number of experts who spend a lot of their time in this area. -One of those here in Madrid at the IBM Smarter Commerce Global Summit, Mark Frigon, is a senior product manager for Web analytics in IBM’s Enterprise Marketing Management organization. -Mark sat down with me to discuss the changing nature of Web analytics, and how dramatically it has evolved as a discipline over the past few years, including the increased focus by marketers on “attribution,” the ability to directly correlate a Web marketing action and the desired result. -Mark also spoke at the event about the importance for digital marketers around the globe to be more privacy-aware, a topic we also discussed in our time together, calling out in particular the “Do-Not-Track” industry self-regulatory effort that intends to put privacy controls in the hands of consumers. -If you spend any time thinking about Internet privacy or Web analytics, or both, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. -Remember that team of blackjack-playing cohorts from MIT in the book (and, later, movie) “Bringing Down The House,” who fleeced a number of Vegas casinos before they were invited never to grace their gambling doors again? -IBM’s Yuchun Lee explains to the IBM Smarter Commerce audience in Madrid how the company is doubling down on its investments in enterprise and social marketing management. -Well, IBM executive and Unica co-founder Yuchung Lee was one of those who was asked not to come back. Permanently. -Which is okay by those of us at IBM, as we’re keeping him way too busy to bother with card counting. -Instead, Lee’s mathematical prowess is being applied to help companies improve their marketing capabilities, a key ingredient in the IBM Smarter Commerce soup. -As Lee explained in his keynote session this afternoon here in Madrid, “this is the first time we’re bringing together Coremetrics and Unica.” He also highlighted the fact that out of the 1,700 participants here at the Summit, over 1,000 are marketeers! -Lee provided a broad overview of the Enterprise Marketing Management portfolio at IBM, explaining that “we’ve shared progress as a group within IBM over the past year,” sharing that also incorporates lessons learned from both the market and IBM customers. -The social buildout also incorporates enterprise analytics, tag management, and full mobile and social market capabilities that tie more closely together the marketing automation experience with the social realm. -Lee also debriefed quickly on two recent acquisitions, DemandTec, which expands IBM’s EMM offerings with pricing, promotion, and product mix optimization, and Tealeaf, which rounds out IBM EMM solutions with customer experience management and analytics. -As Lee explained, “A picture’s worth a thousand words,” and that’s precisely what TeaLeaf provides, the ability to look at snapshots of individual user sessions to help determine where, exactly, it is that you’re driving them crazy with your convoluted web experience! -But where Lee really “hooked” the audience was in his observations about the Generation C customer, who is more connected and in control than ever! Did you know that 4 in 10 smartphone users search for an item in a store? Or that 77 percent of B2B buyers check with their peers before buying? -Which, he expanded, means that it must work more closely with other disciplines and functions, including merchandising, on- and offline sales, customer service, and even with IT. -But, Lee indicated, they can’t stop there. Marketing must also share customer insights with other parts of the business so that all functions can benefit from these insights. -Finally, they must extend that sharing of customer insights with other key stakeholders who can benefit: Partners, agencies, customer communities, and so forth. -Lee also explained that many organizations must adjust their marketing cultures to fully capitalize on the “Generation C” (“C” for “connected”) culture. They must build organizations that balance analytics and creative talents (easier said than done!), work with IT rather than around IT, and break down marketing siloes — digital and traditional marketing must consolidate and collaborate. -Finally, accept mistakes and learn from them, and be agile enough to iterate and improve upon them. As even Lee can explain, there are only so many opportunities to double down in blackjack, and in business. -The enterprise marketing management opportunity vis-a-vis IBM’s Smarter Commerce strategy is one of those rare opportunities. -Well, that day of the year has finally arrived. -That day where we all slink into our offices after four nice, long, official holidays where (mostly, we hope) people stay away from their computers and mobile phones and tablets and God knows whatever other else connected devices just long enough to make it feel like you got some real rest (even though many of you were probably dealing with unrelated, but similarly frustrating, realities —you know, like screaming kids and antagonizing in-laws). -And all you could do was think about how nice it would be to come back into the nice peaceful and quiet office on Monday so you could get back to…shopping. -Yes, boys and girls, cyber Monday has arrived. -But judging from the results of the IBM Coremetrics Benchmark Black Friday e-retailing analysis, you really need not worry about coming into the office anymore just so you can get yourself an extra slurp of broadband. -This is 2011, yo, all you gotta do is break out that iPad and you’ll be standing in front of Macys women’s wear or Best Buy’s electronics section in seconds! -But while you’re out there figuring out your Cyber Monday strategy, I’m going to hit the highlights reel for the weekend in e-shopping. -U.S shoppers apparently took great advantage of early sales this holiday, driving a 39.3 percent year-over-year increase in online Thanksgiving day spending while setting the stage for 24.3 percent online growth on Black Friday compared to the same period last year. -Consumer spending increases. The aggressive shopping we witnessed on Thanksgiving Day this year carried over into Black Friday, with online sales increasing 24.3 percent annually. -Mobile Bargain Hunting. Black Friday also saw the arrival of the mobile deal seeker who embraced their devices as a research tool for both in-store and online bargains. Mobile traffic increased to 14.3 percent (compared to 5.6 percent last year). -Mobile Sales On the Getgo. Sales on mobile devices surged to 9.8 percent (a tripling from last year’s 3.2 percent). -Apple’s One Stop Shop. Mobile shopping was led by Apple, with the iPhone and iPad ranking one and two for consumers shopping on mobile devices (5.4 percent and 4.8 percent respectively). Together, the iPhone and iPad accounted for 10.2 percent of all online retail. Apparently, it ain’t easy bein’ an Android on Black Friday. -The iPad Factor. Shoppers using the iPad led to more retail purchases more often per visit than other mobile devices, leading one to wonder about the real estate to deal closing ratio. The bigger the device, the larger the average order value? Possibly, but this number can’t lie: Conversion rates for the iPad were 4.6 percent, compared to 2.8 for all other mobile devices. The iPad was this weekend’s e-shopping mobile king. -Social Influence. Shoppers referred from Social Networks generated 0.53 percent of all online sales on Black Friday, with Facebook leading the pack and accounting for a full 75 percent of all social network traffic. -Social Media Chit Chat. Boosted by a 110 percent increase in discussion volume compared to 2010, top discussion topics on social media sites immediately before Friday showed a focus on the part of consumers to share tips on how to avoid the rush. Topics included out-of-stock concerns, waiting times and parking, and a spike in positive sentiment around Cyber Monday sales. -Surgical Shopping Goes Mobile: Mobile shoppers demonstrated a laser focus that surpassed that of other online shoppers with a 41.3 percent bounce rate on mobile devices versus online shopping rates of 33.1 percent. -This data came from findings of the IBM Coremetrics fourth annual Black Friday Benchmark, which tracks more than a million transactions a day, analyzing terabytes of raw data from 500 retailers nationwide. -With this data, IBM helps retailers better understand and respond to their customers — across the organization — improving sourcing, inventory management, marketing, sales, and services programs. -You can get more background on the study here. -Black Friday: U.S. Online Retail Up 20% Year-Over-Year! -I had absolutely nothing to do with shopping today, online or off. But I seemed to have been a minority, and for those retailers looking to the holiday season to help bolster an otherwise anemic year, they will be excited by the news delivered today by the IBM Coremetrics e-retailing Black Friday Benchmark Report. -No flies on those guys! Apparently they were too busy counting everyone else’s clicks to pursue any of their own. -Click image to enlarge. Black Friday e-retail sales in U.S. were up 20% over the same period last year, with consumers turning to mobile devices like smartphones and tablets for their e-shopping efforts more than they ever have. -E-retail sales at major online retailers were up 20 percent as of 3 P.M. EST this afternoon, compared to the same time on the Friday after Thanksgiving last year. -The survey monitors some 500 major U.S. Online retailers, and the 20 percent is in line with the 20 percent year-over-year increase IBM was reporting mid-day yesterday. However, apparently lots of folks are holding out until they’ve allowed the turkey trytophan to kick in and the evening football games to start, because full-day online Thanksgiving sales ended 39 percent up over the holiday last year and they soared Thursday evening. -Mobile devices also played a much bigger role in online shopping this year, according to the benchmark. Shoppers are making 9.73 percent of their purchases from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, about the same as Thanksgiving day. And, as much as 17.37 percent of traffic to e-retail sites is coming from mobile devices, higher than even the 15.2 recorded yesterday. -Consumer spending increased: Online sales were up a healthy 15.9 percent, with consumers pushing the average order value up from $170.19 to $190.80 for an increase of 12.1 percent. -Luxury goods are making a comeback. Jewelry retailers reported a 17.6 percent increase in sales. -Social shopping. Consumers appear increasingly savvy about their favorite brands’ social presence, and are turning to their social networking friends for information about deals and inventory levels. -Though the percentage of visitors arriving from social sites is fairly small relative to all online visitors — nearly 1 percent — it’s gaining momentum, with Facebook dominating the space. -Department stores. They’ve become the research engine of choice for consumers looking for Black Friday deals and product promotions. As a consequence, shoppers are spending 17.7 percent more time year over year on department store sites. -Health and Beauty. A reported rise of 73.1 percent in the number of new consumers completing their first purchase on their sites and a 53.4 percent jump in the number of visits in which consumers completed an order. -In-Store Sales for Consumer Electronics and Appliances. These are expected to increase 3.5 percent this year compared to last, with consumers spending a larger-than-usual share in November, according to an analytics-based forecast from IBM’s Global Business Services division. -U.S. consumers have been increasing their savings relative to disposable income, from 2 percent in 2007 to nearly 6 percent today, which has led to strong pent-up demand for consumer electronics and appliances, both of which are typically seen as necessities in today’s economy. -Stay tuned here on the Turbo blog for other upcoming reports on the holiday season’s retail tidings. It’s still Black Friday, we still have the weekend, and Cyber Monday is a full three days away! -The weekend in sports proved to be as about as exciting as I had hoped. -Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke became the third man from that region to win a golf major in 3 of the last 6, and it was Clarke’s first British Open title. -And as to the U.S. Women’s soccer team, they played a nailbiter of a match, but in the end the team from Japan won on penalty kicks. -My hat goes off to both teams. I had a whole living room full of soccer fans, and we were all nervous wrecks up to that last penalty kick that gave Japan this year’s World Cup trophy. -Still, it was an awesome game all the way around, and I wish my friends in Japan a very happy celebration. They could probably stand some good news about now! -Later today, IBM will announces its second quarter 2010 earnings. You can check the Investor Relations site for more details. -On the announcement front, today saw the introduction of a new cloud-based Web analytics and digital marketing suite intended to help organizations automate online marketing campaigns across their online channels, including web sites, social media networks, and even mobile phones. -The new offering combines the best of Coremetrics and Unica, and provides analytics that help companies better determine the effectiveness of new products and services, fine tune their marketing campaigns, and create personalized offers in real-time across channels. -With 64 percent of consumers making a first purchase because of a digital experience, it’s critical that marketers understand online behavior and refine their marketing activities accordingly. -Supports deep analysis into how customers interact with a brand over time and when each marketing program is the most effective. -Using this technology, businesses will be able to evaluate Facebook or Twitter activity, and offer customers tailored promotions delivered to their mobile devices on the fly. -IBM’s suite also enables businesses to deliver and fine tune digital marketing programs based on what customers are doing offline. -For example, a consumer who purchased a new tablet in a brick-and-mortar store would receive special offers via email to purchase tablet accessories. -The benefit to the customer is a consistent, relevant brand experience that reflects all of their online preferences, not just what they did, read or saw on one specific site. -The IBM Coremetrics Web Analytics and Digital Marketing Optimization Suite is the newest addition to IBM’s family of Smarter Commerce solutions,which is focused on helping companies more effectively market, sell and secure greater customer loyalty in the era of social networking and mobile computing. -Smarter Commerce transforms how companies manage and swiftly adapt to customer and industry trends across marketing, selling and service processes that span the entire commerce cycle, putting the customer at the center of their decisions and actions. -To learn more about this and other marketing solutions please visit the IBM Enterprise Marketing Management site. -Each month, employee family members are selected as e3 Champions.

Since the very first financial report, he has actively communicated with me to be sure that each report was both accurate and complete.

Marcelito said that at h didn’t immediately believe that he got an invite from the show and initially thought that it was a spam email.

His generally sweet and cooperative disposition shifts to one of a fired up wild child, which is soon followed by a crash of energy and crankiness. His ability to follow directions, typically a positive trait for my son, wanes as a result as well. -Watching this outwardly behavioral roller coaster is like tracing the steps of sugar’s overt and undeniable physiological impact on my son. The sugar is sending signals and triggering reactions in his young and developing mind and body. -The full fixture list for the next few days in the Allied Counties Youth League has been posted and there are a couple of decent local ties to look out for. -Bracknell Town and Windsor meet on Monday night in the Central Division with both sides in 6th and 7th on 18 points after 10 and 11 games respectively. -The winners will go top of the table, at least until Wednesday when Ascot United are in action while Hanworth Villa, Flackwell Heath and Binfield play on Thursday. -The league have also released the leading scorers up to 29th November with Alexander Lacy (Bracknell Town) fourth in the Central Division with 11 while Josh Harris (pictured) and Toby Illingworth (both Binfield) have seven each. -Here’s the full list of fixtures for the week ahead. All the latest league tables are here. -during our conversation it became apparent Jerome has developed a great approach to the sport, being backed by a good team, coupled with a dynamic fighting style, he is definitely one to watch. -“I started boxing when I was 21, so I started late, I just went to the gym with a friend, I had always watched boxing but never took that much of an interest in it. -After I went to the gym once I got a feel for it, everything about it, the environment, the smell of the gym and from there it has catapulted, it became an obsession, it went from a hobby to a lifestyle. -“I had 35 fights, I won the Haringey box cup, I reached the national finals in 2016, I won London titles twice, so yeah, in the last two years I’ve seen my amateur career take off. -“You know what it is, I am a strong believer in timing, and at the age of 26 I wasn’t going to gain much more from the amateurs, as in it might take me away from what I want to do as a pro. -“So, I’ve got guys at the IQ Boxing Gym in Neasden, North West London, my main coach is Xavier Miller, and my promoter is Steve Goodwin. Me and Xavier get along like a house on fire, as much as I like him as a coach, I also do as a person. We have a good understanding and it’s a great relationship. -“So, like I said, as an amateur I was relying a lot on reflex, movement, counter punching, but not as a pro, I’m going to focus on sitting my weight down, catching shots, returning shots and working the body. -I would love to say I can adapt to any shape or style but I have to be realistic, I would say that I’m a thinking fighter, I can work out people’s fight quite quickly so I can entertain different styles. -“Without trying to sound arrogant or cocky I feel like I’ve got the makings to go all the way, I feel like I’m destined for great things and it’s a matter of time until everyone else starts to believe it. -In 2018 I’m just looking to get the whole experience, and I think if I could get 4 fights this year I would be happy with that, I’m looking to soak up the experience and fight in front of a big hyped up crowd. I’m also sparring 6-8 rounds at the moment so 4 rounds shouldn’t be too bad. -Jerome Campbell makes his debut tonight on Goodwin Boxing’s ‘Venom’ show at the infamous York Hall. Featuring on a strong card, Jerome is bout #6 of the evening. 4 x 3 minute rounds in the lightweight division, sharing the ring with Luke Fash. -My practice is built on my respect for human resiliency: a belief in our ability to move forward from great difficulty and deep hurts as well as break patterns that are no longer serving us.

I start with clients’ present concerns and also facilitate interest in their deeper selves. Having been personally inspired by the positive impact of psychotherapy, I am passionate about walking alongside others navigating this courageous process. -I enjoy working with adults dealing with life transitions, grief and loss, family of origin concerns, relationship issues, trauma, sexuality concerns, and anxiety. I also have a special interest in fertility-related struggles, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, difficult or traumatic birth experiences, miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. -I practice from a psychodynamic perspective, an approach that is curious about how our past is impacting our present, while also using interventions rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I also offer Somatic- and Attachment-Focused EMDR which is an integrative, physiological psychotherapy approach. -It is the largest tourist attraction in the region, with over 70 buildings, and more than 110,000 museum pieces.

You can see the project for yourself in the video posted online. In the video, Lisa Lindsey and Richard Lightfoot from the County share the results along with LI’s own Mike Walker. -The success of that project has led the County to accelerate the lighting upgrade of a second, newer ice arena. The Essroc Arena AKA New Duke Dome located in Wellington, Ontario is just 5 years old, but the County has learned that it can’t afford to wait until the arena’s 72 light fixtures burn out to have them replaced because both the savings and quality are so dramatic. The new lighting features an infinitely dimmable system that is important to the presentation of figure skating performances, with brightness levels and natural color quality to meet the rigorous standards for high-definition television broadcasts of Wellington Dukes hockey league games. -The Wellington project includes the retrofitting of 72 ice pad metal halide high bay fixtures from 458-watt to 200-watt LEDs plus 500 LED lamps in dressing rooms and perimeter walking track. The upgrade earned a saveONenergy utility rebate of over $10,000. -Somnath Temple is one of the twelve jyotirlinga in India. Hindu worship Lord Shiva in the form of linga and all the Shiva Linga of jyotirlinga are famous as swayambhu. Swayambhu means that manifest on its own i.e. not made by man. These lingas are self-existing and appear suddenly or mysteriously without any human efforts. When the saints or holy men see them they install them in a temple. Each of the twelve jyotirlinga, take the name of a different manifestation of Shiva. These twelve jyotirlinga are considered very holy for the Shiva devotees. All the Shiva devotees visit these jyotirlinga one by one as all are located in different locations and can’t be visited all at once. It is believed that just a visit to the temple is very auspicious and all bad deeds and sins are washed away in the feet of Lord Shiva. -Among all jyotirlinga, Somnath is considered as the first pilgrimage site. The Dwadash Jyotirlinga pilgrimage begins with the Somnath Temple. This temple is located in Prabhas Patan, in Saurashtra-Veraval in Gujarat. This temple is destroyed and rebuilt many times. This temple follows Triveni Sangam of three rivers- the Kapila, the Hiran and the auspicious river the Saraswati. It is believed that Somraj, the Moon God had built this temple out of Gold in Satyug, then it was re-built by Ravan in Silver in Tretayug, and again it was re-built by Lord Krishna in wood in Dwaparyug and finally in stone by Bhimdev Solanki in Kaliyug. Means this Somnath temple is from ancient times showering its eternal shrines and glory on the people. At last, it was rebuilt in 1951 in Chalukya style by the architecture of Hindu temple. The construction was proposed by Vallabhbhai Patel and was completed under the then head of the temple trust K.M. Munshi. -Moon then came to Prabhasa also known as Somnath. He went on a penance for six months where he worshipped Lord Shiva to get out of his curse. His Jaap and Tap pleased Lord Shiva and he came to bless him. Lord Shiva told Moon that he can’t be completely free from the curse but his gleams will appear different every day, 15 days it will grow and the next 15 days it will hide. To gain back his luster, he bathed in the River Sarasvati and the result is the waxing and waning of the moon, and is also referred to the waxing and waning of the tides at sea shore location. Lord Shiva himself came to be known as Someshwar which means famous moon (Soma). -Shravan Maas is considered very auspicious month to worship Lord Shiva and Somnath temple is famous not only as a jyotirlinga but also as a holy place where ones sins gets washed away. Visitors love the divine worship of Lord Shiva and its abhishek, aarti and the location of the temple. -I think this is one of the most interesting pieces of researching in epidemiology and profound effects on society I have ever seen. I wrote about Kevin Drum’s original work on the connection between lead in the environment and crime rates (I’m not linking to my piece, his piece is linked to in the Brookings piece). This is one of those things where the evidence is so clear, but the conclusion just seems too easy, that contingents in sociology believe it too good to be true. -I think it’s fascinating, your mileage may vary. -Nov 15, 2018 in "Guardians of the Galaxy" -Disney has today released new artwork of the ride vehicles that will be part of the new Guardians of the Galaxy coaster coming to Epcot in 2021. -Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products Chairman Bob Chapek said, “On most coasters, the vehicles point straight ahead throughout the ride,” Bob explained. “But on this attraction, each individual cab will be programmed to direct your eye to the story happening around you. -Low profile acoustic cabinet fans, manufactured from galvanised sheet steel and internally lined with 50mm thickness of fireproof acoustic insulation (M0), with sound-absorbent insulation at the inlet. -All models incorporate inlet and discharge circular duct connection flanges with integrated rubber air seal.

Such individuals aren’t simply seeking to produce good leads, but leads which will be good franchisees down the line. Finding the right people is the difference between a good franchise operation and a great one. -What interests you about our franchise? -Do you have any debt? If so, how much and what kind? What is your plan for paying it off? -Are partners involved in this? Does your spouse know? What are their details? -Where do you see yourself in 20 years and how does this franchise fit into that? -What do you like about our franchise? Dislike? -How do you feel about our company culture? -What sort of liquid cash can you acquire? -When do you think you’ll be profitable? -Great Franchise sales VP’s know that the questionnaire only paints part of the picture. Consider To Sell Is Human; everybody sells themselves to some degree. Many who might not be a good fit for your brand will “sell” themselves. So they look excellent on paper, but they’re not the right fit for your brand when you meet them. Ideally, the questionnaire helps you to foster and generate genuine face-to-face or “discovery” meetings because there’s a critical human element. The conversation “filter” which you apply during the discovery interview will help determine the quality of this prospect’s social fit. You can be creative with questionnaire structure to produce higher quality discovery meetings. -How do you qualify franchise leads before the discovery meeting? Maybe Chick-fil-A has the answer: They proactively scout leads which fit criteria in a given community and reach out directly. Their model is unique in the industry but commendable; they use deductive investigation to pre-qualify leads, which is likely why it’s so hard to be a franchisee of this brand. Chick-fil-a scouts a community and figures out which member within that community will have the best long-term cultural fit. Then they help this potential franchisee bring a new Chick-fil-a to this new member’s community. -If leads pass their rigorous community qualifications and all the standard franchisee qualifications to become part of the Chick-fil-A team, a store is built. Chick-fil-A is different in that they look for the human element first, and then follow with the questionnaire. As VP of sales, you can learn from this creative strategy. -No matter the size of a franchise group, it is critical that franchisees are only allowed to join if they are a “low-risk investment”. As much as they are investing in you, you’re investing in them. Questions that reveal what type of person this lead might be in the future are essential. Cultural fit is crucial, but it won’t matter if the lead does not qualify financially. -Structuring questionnaires with existing data from previous interviews can help you reduce time, aggravation, and expense during the process. Some franchise software allows you to not only design questionnaires that help optimize the refining process, but establish actionable analytics. -Good franchise project management (PM) tools allow you to keep all this information in one place as the lead transitions to partner or “goes sideways”. This helps you identify trends you missed earlier and adjust and improve your questionnaires based on the information. Good PM tools will help make your questionnaires and process be much more effective. -You can also plan more effectively with Franchise PM Software. Such software allows you to determine with reasonable accuracy how much time it takes for you to transition a lead from one segment of the sales process to the next. -Frequently, this process is so nebulous, franchisors are guessing with their gut. That can work--or blow up in your face—it’s far better to put numbers behind the process and reduce negative fallout. -Another prime feature of effective PM software involves email campaigns that strategically engage prospective franchisees based on analytics. If you want to maintain the investment value of the lead throughout your induction process, frequent communication is key. -Companies can use a portal like Franchise Gator, which matches their website design, to gather these questionnaires. However, portals can be expensive, typically charging $30-$50 per lead. As a result, many companies prefer to connect with leads through their website, trade shows, or by the lead calling the sales team directly. To avoid exorbitant portal feeds, make it easy for leads to reach out through your own website. -Trade shows are cross-functional for lead generation. Not only are you at the trade show to connect with potential customers, but you can also be generating high-quality franchise leads. Trade shows are a more organic way to connect with franchise leads and to build trust. By being on panels, speaking and showing expertise you can show how your brand makes money for the entrepreneur; the prospective lead will be more willing to learn about the brand if you are striving to educate rather than to sell. -When it comes to your franchise lead questionnaire, you can’t cover everything. But you can continuously hone it so that with each new candidate, you’ve got a more effective questionnaire and a better process. A paper questionnaire is half the puzzle. The human element is just as important. Acquired analytics are key in assisting you to secure the right leads. The right franchise PM software does a great deal to simplify and improve the process. -Summary: An introduction to historiography and the theory of counterfactuals. -Published: In w88 android (ed. Rasmus Dahlberg), q.v. -Each year, there are more than 100,000 cases of pet poisoning in the U.S. Many of these were caused by household substances that may seem perfectly harmless to you. But just because something is safe for people doesn't mean it won’t hurt beloved pets. Some of the most dangerous dog poisons are foods and medications we take on a daily basis. -Depending on how a particular substance affects your dog’s body and how much was ingested or inhaled, pet poisoning symptoms can include gastrointestinal and neurological problems, cardiac and respiratory distress, coma, and even death. -Dog poison No. 1: Prescription medications for people. Drugs that might be beneficial or even lifesaving for people can have the opposite effect in pets. And it doesn’t always take a large dose to do major damage. -Prescription anti-inflammatory and pain medications can cause stomach and intestinal ulcers or kidney failure. -Antidepressants can cause vomiting and, in more serious instances, serotonin syndrome -- a dangerous condition that raises temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure, and may cause seizures. -Dog poison No. 2: Insecticides. -Flea and tick products. You may think you’re doing your dog a favor when you apply products marketed to fight fleas and ticks, but thousands of animals are unintentionally poisoned by these products every year. Problems can occur if dogs accidentally ingest these products or if small dogs receive excessive amounts. Talk to your vet about safe OTC products. -Dog poison No. 3: Over-the-counter medications. This group contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen and naproxen (Advil, Alleve), as well as herbal and nutraceutical products (fish oil, joint supplements). -Dog poison No. 4: Pet medications. Just as we can be sickened or killed by medications intended to help us, cases of pet poisoning by veterinary drugs are not uncommon. Some of the more commonly reported problem medications include painkillers and de-wormers. -Dog poison No. 5: Household products, from cleaners to fire logs. Just as cleaners like bleach can poison people, they are also a leading cause of pet poisoning, resulting in stomach and respiratory tract problems. Not surprisingly, chemicals contained in antifreeze, paint thinner, and chemicals for pools also can act as dog poison. The pet poisoning symptoms they may produce include stomach upset, depression, chemical burns, renal failure and death. -Dog poison No. 6: People food. Your canine companion may look so cute as he sits there begging for a bite of your chocolate cake or a chip covered in guacamole, but not giving him what he wants could save his life. Animals have different metabolisms than people. Some foods, such as onions and garlic, as well as beverages that are perfectly safe for people can be dangerous, and sometimes fatal, for dogs. -Chocolate . Though not harmful to people, chocolate products contain substances called methylxanthines that can cause vomiting in small doses, and death if ingested in larger quantities. Darker chocolate contains more of these dangerous substances than do white or milk chocolate. The amount of chocolate that could result in death depends on the type of chocolate and the size of the dog. For smaller breeds, just half an ounce of baking chocolate can be fatal, while a larger dog might survive eating 4 ounces to 8 ounces, though 8 ounces would be extremely dagerous. Coffee and caffeine have similarly dangerous chemicals. -Alcohol. Symptoms of alcohol poisoning in animals are similar to those in people, and may include vomiting, breathing problems, coma and, in severe cases, death. -Avocado. You might think of them as healthy, but avocados have a substance called persin that can act as a dog poison, causing vomiting and diarrhea or worse. -Macadamia nuts. Dogs may suffer from a series of symptoms, including weakness, overheating, and vomiting, after consumption of macadamia nuts. -Grapes and raisins. Experts aren’t sure why, but these fruits can induce kidney failure in dogs. Even a small number may cause problems in some dogs. -Xylitol. This sweetener is found in many products, including sugar-free gum and candy. It causes a rapid drop in blood sugar, resulting in weakness and seizures. Liver failure also has been reported in some dogs. -Dog poison No. 7: Chocolate. See above. -Azaleas and rhododendrons. These pretty flowering plants contain toxins that may cause vomiting, diarrhea, coma, and potentially even death. -Tulips and daffodils. The bulbs of these plants may cause serious stomach problems, difficulty breathing, and increased heart rate. -Sago palms. Eating just a few seeds may be enough to cause vomiting, seizures, and liver failure. -Dog poison No. 9: Rodenticides, if ingested by dogs, can cause severe problems. The symptoms depend on the nature of the poison, and signs may not start for several days after consumption. In some instances, the dog may have eaten the poisoned rodent, and not been directly exposed to the toxin. -Dog poison No. 10: Lawn and garden products. Products for your lawn and garden may be poisonous to pets that ingest them. -If you think your dog has been poisoned, try to stay calm. It is important to act quickly, but rationally. -First, gather up any of the potential poison that remains -- this may be helpful to your veterinarian and any outside experts who assist with the case. If your dog has vomited, collect the sample in case your veterinarian needs to see it. -Then, try to keep your pet calm and call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) at (888) 426-4435. Experts at the APCC are available to answer questions and provide guidance 24 hours a day for a $60 consultation fee. Another option is the Pet Poison Hotline with a fee of $59 per incident. -Keep all medications, even those in child-proof bottles, in cabinets that are inaccessible to your dog. If you inadvertently drop a pill on the floor, be sure to look for it immediately. Supervise anyone, such as the elderly, who may need help taking medications. -Always follow guidelines on flea or tick products. -Although you can safely give some ''people foods'' to your pet as a treat, others are toxic. If you have any questions about what is safe, ask your veterinarian. Or, err on the safe side and give treats made specifically for animals. -Be sure any rodenticides you use are kept in metal cabinets or high on shelves where your pets can't find them. Remember that dogs can be fatally poisoned by eating an exposed rodent, so always be very cautious about using these products. Tell your neighbors if you put out rat bait, so they can protect their pets from exposure, and ask them to do the same for you. -When buying plants for your home, opt for those that won’t cause problems if your dog happens to nibble on them. The ASPCA has an online list of toxic and nontoxic plants by species. If you choose to have toxic plants, be sure they are kept in a place where your animals can't reach them. -Store all chemicals and cleaners in pet-inaccessible areas of your home. -A new update of Microsoft Office 2016 (Build 7369.2017) for Slow ring Office Insiders on Windows has been released by Microsoft.

I couldn’t stop thinking about my date with Seabiscuit. I was very excited about his joining me at the theater plus the night adventures that would follow. -I hurried home after work, took a quick shower, and headed out. It had been a warm day, and I was doubtful that I needed my jacket; however, then I remembered being cold at a previous performance in the evening. Even though I had checked the weather and saw Orinda was only predicted to be in the low 60s in the evening, I knew that up in the hills, where the theater is actually located, it can get much colder. I felt foolish carrying such a large jacket on BART and felt too warm to need it, but better safe than sorry. -It was good I did. By the time I arrived at the theater, it was significantly cooler. I was happy without a jacket but realized that once the sun finished setting, I would need to put it on. I waited for Seabiscuit to arrive, and was excited to see him clean-shaven–as I had ordered as his Mistress. How good that he should obey so well! And he finally looked like one of his own photographs. -I told him previously that he appeared to be a servant of the Many-Faced God because his face never seemed to match from one photograph to another. The angles were off or something seemed so strange about it. He didn’t look like his photographs. I knew it was him, but how strange and different they all seemed. -There was a crowd, and I could tell he felt a bit shy. We hugged and kissed each other’s cheeks, then held hands as we walked up the hill from Will Call to the theater. -He bought dinner for us at the café, and we continued holding hands. The line was long, and we really only had 10 minutes to eat before needing to be seated. He was impressed by my tickets and how close we were to the stage. The temperature had dropped significantly, so I put on my jacket when we were seated but he was astounded that I didn’t close it until after intermission. I held his hand in his lap during the first half. -During intermission, he rented a blanket while I used the restroom and got my free bag of Peet’s coffee for renewing my subscription for the theater. We shared the blanket, and for the second half, he held my hand on my lap. -The performance was amazing, as all the shows I have seen there have been. CalShakes has done very well at selecting and directing plays that resonate with race issues going on currently, and this play was exceptionally well done in that regard. Seabiscuit enjoyed it greatly, and I told him he should return with me for all of next season. He said he would love to. It was his first time going to the theater in a very long time, and he said the final scenes with the bed on stage would linger in his memory for a long time. -As part of Living in Thailand, the Rice Field Project follows our journey of buying land, preparing it for building our house and finally building our house. This is part 34, to read the other parts click The Rice Field Project. If you are following this project then you might remember that we had an water well made at our land. Well as we will later build a guest bungalow on an other part of our land we had the idea to have a second water well made. The new one closer to our house and use the old one for the garden and guest-bungalow. But that did not go as easy as we thought. -The first try was about 5 meter from our house, they found water at 6 meter but not enough to pump it up. Second try was about 10 meter from the first water well. But no water at all was found. So a third try was done about 5 meter next to the first water well. And bingo .... water. And a lot of water. -So the location of the first water well was just sheer luck? Anyway we will see how it works out with 2 water wells near to each other. The job was done by the same 3 people of the first water well. And although they had to try 3 times, we only paid for 1 water well, 3.500 Thai baht + some tip for the hard work. Because yes it is hard work, especially at 30℃! -Update : And we did just paid the final payment for the house construction. The last 5% will be paid 10 days after 100% completion and delivery of the house. -There are few moments in life this fast paced, that take you this much by surprise. Where after the adrenaline high, you can’t believe it just happened to you. This is their story. Be sure to watch the video as well as browse through the photos as mom tells what happened from her perspective. -Ben’s parents were already at the hospital for an induction. Last checked, she was 2 cm dilated and not in active labour at all. The induction medication hadn’t even begun. I normally come when a client is in active labour as this early period could be slowed down by my presence. I texted with dad who told me we would touch base in an hour. I texted to see how things were going. Heard nothing for about 10 minutes and just had this gut feeling. I threw on my scrubs. My gear was already at the house and my childcare had been called in. I knew it would be today just not sure when. -Utter disbelief. What was he talking about? She wasn’t even in labour. This was a first baby. Complete as in completely dilated and at a 10? Maybe dad wasn’t familiar with the terms. -I put my keys in my pocket. -I screamed at my childcare “I gotta go, bye, I’m walking out, you are on duty, bye” and walked right to the car. I was driving away a minute later. -The drive had my heart pumping like never before. I knew this could go either way, some first time moms push for one to two hours so I might have time. Some deliver with in a couple pushes. I parked in exactly 20 minutes from when I walked out my door (went back and checked all my text time stamps). -I ran up to maternity and heard a baby crying from a delivery room. My heart sank. I knew. -He was laying on her chest and it was the first natural birth that ever beat me to it! -This was a precipitous labor, which is defined as a labor that lasts no more than three hours from onset of regular contractions to delivery. Maybe you could call hers ultra-precipitous? -The room no less, was full of peace, and with in the first minute of being there I began shooting. The looks of disbelief and utter joy were plastered all over their faces. -Ben’s parents have graciously allowed me to share their birth in part to glorify God publicly for his miraculous life. The images chosen, many that are not in the video, I selected almost all black and white because in this case, its just so visually stunning when laid together. In case you are wondering, my clients receive all of their images in colour and black & white for every session. -To Ben’s parents, the joy and graciousness you carry exudes from a deep place of knowing truth. What a gift your son has in having you both to raise him. Thank you for hiring me. I’m slightly terrified if you hire me again that I might just camp outside your house for a week. -To the hospital staff and Dr. Brandt at Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital, my sincerest thank you’s for letting me run in all out of breath and document their day. -Have you hired Star Drywall Ltd? Write a review and earn our First to Review badge. -Star Drywall Ltd has not added any photos. -Looking for Insulation pros in Estevan? -We have a fantastic new senior business development opportunity with a leading digital agency. -This agency produces outstanding digital collateral for pharmaceutical clients.

A life science degree is preferred but not essential. -There are superb rewards on offer including a generous salary and very good commission package. -This very well presented Pool View apartment is located in the heart of the very popular Cabo Roig strip, in the Playamarina 1 complex building, with lobby, reception, with communal pool, pool bar, and underground garage. -The Health Center is just 100 m away, and pharmacy nearby. -Fully tiled bathroom with bath and shower attachment. Wash basin with vanity unit under, and WC. -Undergroung garage, with lift with access to all floors. -I’ve never understood the whole points thing, scholarships, etc. for open comps. I don’t do enough open comps for it to matter – but I’d love to understand it. I’ve tried to look it up and other than the official rules which are like reading a law-book ( in other words make no sense to me!) I can’t find a simple explanation of it all. If anyone can give a layperson’s explanation it would be cool! -I had to clarify. What to which “points” was she referring, exactly? -Maybe you are referring to being top student or top teacher in a competition or a district or in a competition series? If that is the case, what happens is you get a certain amount of points for each entry you are in (or your instructor dances), and then more points for placing higher. Like when I got top student in San Diego it was like 8 points (or something, I don’t exactly remember the point value) for 1st place, 6 for 2nd, down through 6th and then 1 point for participating. You get more points for participating more and for placing higher. Your instructor gets points for the same things, but obviously if they bring more students and dance more often, they earn more points. -So I checked it out, not being familiar with proficiency points. No one had ever mentioned them to me before. -Ellen, I’ve looked at the proficiency point guide and I’m intrigued. Seems to be a complicated system to determine which category you should dance in…what age, what level, as an attempt in making sure people are competing at an appropriate level – not too high or too low. It says in the guide that USA dance will make a database online of the points so I’m now trying to find that. I’m curious to see where I might rank. I’ve always been told that the instructor decides which category you dance at. It seems like the points might be more important for high level amateur competitors or professional couples. I’ll ask Ivan about it, but who knows if he knows anything about it. It does say that you can be disciplined for dancing below your level! Thanks for asking this question. I love learning more about my favorite sport! I’ll keep you updated. -The topic sparked my interest in a number of facets of ballroom dancing that involve points and I had a big ‘ole conversation with Ivan about it after my lesson today. -Sadly, he didn’t know about proficiency points, but he did comment on another type of points used by ballroom studios which I found intriguing. Also, I did a little more research and found on http://DanceForums.com some old comments about the proficiency points. You can see the comments I found here. -First, the database is not current. I don’t even know if you can find it. Someone who is on the USA Dance board must have been in the conversation because he or she commented that they needed someone to volunteer to keep up with the points. I guess you are supposed to keep track of them yourself! Well, I for one, haven’t been doing that. -Second, the link Ellen sent me on the USA Dance page that directs you to the rules about the Proficiency points is outdated. I guess there have been changes (that a couple must now only accrue 200 points instead of the 300 mentioned in the pdf file) that aren’t reflected in that edition of the rules. -But the plot thickens. These mystery proficiency points are only applicable to USA Dance sanctioned events. -USA Dance isn’t the only governing body of ballroom dance. -There are different proficiency points and rules for the National Dance Council of America (NDCA) and the Youth College Network (YCN). -So there are points you accrue in competition. But after my conversation with Ivan, I have learned there are also points you can accrue at a studio. Now, I don’t purport to have expertise in this area because I’ve never danced in a ballroom dance franchise studio. I’m going on what Ivan told me. If things are different, feel free to comment below and fill us all in. At least this is what I gather went on at Ivan’s studio when he was employed by a franchised studio. -Students accrue points and have proficiency tests to determine what level they are at: pre-bronze, bronze, silver, etc. Then packages are sold around getting to the next level. Like for every lesson you take or every figure you learn it’s recorded and there are charts of points and where you are. There are also charts proclaiming which student is which level, so you can compare yourself to other students and follow your and their progress. -To me, this seems a bit weird. I guess it is great for goal setting and is some form of monitoring progress, but just knowing the steps in the gold syllabus doesn’t necessarily, I think, mean you are a gold level dancer – meaning that you might be dancing a gold step with bronze level technique. -What it does do is give a person a sense of being able to put a feather in their cap. I’ve had people ask me what level dancer I am, but since I have no points or proficiency tests to go on, I honestly don’t know. I have no idea what level the steps I know are considered nor my level in terms of technique. -Seems like another VCR manual to me, but at least this one only applies to amateurs. I still don’t know what this means if I’m dancing Pro/Am since my proficiency in Pro/Am shall not be used in determining my amateur proficiency level….though I don’t dance Am/Am, myself! -Sheesh! I think it’s an interesting topic, but still kind of a mystery even after all this writing and after all the various research! -So, now the ball is in your court. Do you know anything about points tracked in ballroom? What do you think of these point systems? Does your studio use them? How? Have you heard of them in the context of NDCA or USA Dance? Have you kept track of yours? What do they mean….really? I’m curious to know. -Ooohhh, I’m a bit nervous writing this post, but I think it is a very important subject that is not often talked about. It kind of relates to my previous post about when learning to dance that you make sure you find an instructor that can teach in a way that you can understand and process. And if it’s not working out, to feel free to move on to a different instructor who can suit your needs. Sometimes that can be a little tricky. One of those situations where it is easier said, than done. -The topic I’m talking about is whether or not as a dance student we are free agents, at liberty to dance with whichever instructor we desire and the sometimes-weird possessiveness that the instructor or studio may exhibit for his/her/its students. -When it all boils down, I personally believe that I am the customer, I am the one paying to learn, and I should be able to go wherever I want to do that. -However, it actually isn’t as black and white as that. It isn’t as easy to navigate as one might think. -Hopefully you can avoid some of the difficulties I’ll mention by doing “dancer-views” before settling on a particular instructor. I plan to write a post later on about how to go about the process of finding and selecting an instructor, so I’ll leave that for another time. However, even if you do your due diligence, it may not always be possible to stay with your current instructor indefinitely. Life happens. I’m with my third instructor, and in both previous cases, there were life events that pushed that change along. -But for now (and for what I hope is a long, long time to come) as you know from the blog, my primary instructor is Ivan, who is an independent dance instructor. He is my #1. Any place I go to take group classes or whatever (unless it is just social dancing or I’m not there enough for it to matter and it’s none of their business) is aware of my instructor. Conversely, Ivan is aware that I take group classes at Inna’s studio, and I often inform him if I go social dancing as well, out of courtesy. -With Ivan, he has made it clear that if I want to dance with other instructors for ballroom, then I need to not dance with him. Coaching would be a different situation, or a lesson with Marietta or Nona as a one time deal for styling or something would be fine too, and he’d know about it. -But if I want to learn something that he doesn’t have expertise in, like West Coast Swing, or Argentine Tango, then I just have to tell him my desire and he’d be cool with that. That is the arrangement we have set up. But the point is, we had a conversation about it. At no point did I go behind his back and do things. I wouldn’t want to risk losing him as an instructor. We have this agreement set up and I respect it. -Somehow, however, I’ve managed to be dancing at like three different places (sometimes more), but this is not, from what I’ve heard, the “norm” when it comes to ballroom dancing. And if you are going to go that road, it is extremely, extremely important to be respectful of the professionals at each location, as well as their students, and the relationships between them. It is extremely, extremely important to be upfront and clear on what relationship you have to each place you dance. Otherwise, things can get very messy, very quickly! -From my past personal experience, and from that of others who have shared with me, some teachers and studios can become almost possessive of their students. I can even understand it, to a point. They want to protect their business and that only makes sense. However, I feel like it comes from a scarcity mindset – the idea that the instructor or studio has to keep the student away from any other dance influences for fear that the new or different dance instructor or class may “steal” the student away is focused on a fear of losing something. From my perspective, it isn’t possible to steal a student. If you are providing the value a student is looking for, they won’t go anywhere, no matter how many “other” group classes they take, or instructors they are exposed to. This would be an abundant mindset. -But the fact is, some of the studios just don’t offer everything a person might be looking for. Not everyone offers Lindy Hop, or ballet. If I can’t get those at my primary studio, and I want them, I should be at liberty to go elsewhere to find them. My primary studio can always take that as feedback and grow such areas if they so desire. But to prevent me, threaten me, or guilt me into not doing more dancing if I have that desire, I feel is poor behavior. To allow myself to let any threat, or guilt deter me from what I really want is not okay either. -However, there is really something to be said for sticking with one instructor or studio when its good for you, even if it is tough. Sometimes there are issues to work through, even if you adore your instructor. I’ve had a lesson or two with Ivan where we had to get clear on a few things and it wasn’t necessarily comfortable. But I’d choose being uncomfortable and having open, honest communication, than to lose a fab instructor any day of the week. That is just me. -Again, as mentioned in a previous post, there isn’t necessarily one “right” way, the be-all and end-all way of dancing. That means that each instructor you learn from will give you some similar information, and some very different information than others. This can be very confusing and muddle the clarity of your dancing. A person has to be careful of not always thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. It might be very green right where you are. Sticking it out with your instructor may be the best choice you ever make. Also, if you do decide to receive instruction from multiple sources, be aware that you may need to filter some of the information and make sure that you apply those things that will best serve you while leaving the rest behind. This will take discernment on your part. -If the time does come when you feel the need to change instructors, I’d encourage you to do it in as clean, clear, and honest manner as possible. Although some people just stop taking lessons, not only can this strain your relationship with the instructor and the studio, but it steals the opportunity for the instructor or studio to respond to your issue, and even if the issue can’t be amended, it robs them of the feedback you could provide so they don’t recreate the same pitfall with another student. -So, to answer the primary question of this post, am I a free agent? Yes…and no. Yes, because I take classes at a variety of places that I feel will enhance and enrich my dancing. But no, because I am very clear that Ivan is my primary ballroom instructor and I’m not going anywhere else for that. I mean, the entire relationship is built on trust. You can’t have trust if you are not engaging in open, honest communication or going behind someone’s back. I guarantee it will show up in your dancing. -What about you? Do you only dance with one instructor at one location? Why? How does that work for you? Or do you dance a lot of places? What positive or negative experiences can you share around that? What advice would you give someone who was considering dancing more than one place or changing instructors? I’d love to hear your thoughts! -A deposit will hold the animal of your choice.

They believe that stem cells can be used as a kind of "reset button" for the body, erasing cell damage and stimulating tissue regeneration. They claim that their research could potentially lead to "complex tissue and organ regeneration, disease reversion, and even biological age reversal." -"This represents the first trial of its kind and another step towards the eventual reversal of death in our lifetime," Dr Ira Pastor, the CEO of Bioquark, told The Telegraph. "To undertake such a complex initiative, we are combining biologic regenerative medicine tools with other existing medical devices typically used for stimulation of the central nervous system, in patients with other severe disorders of consciousness. -We hope to see results within the first two to three months." -"It is a long term vision of ours that a full recovery in such patients is a possibility, although that is not the focus of this first study – but it is a bridge to that eventuality." -Some scientists are already expressing doubt that this could lead to anything resembling a genuine recovery for braindead patients, as studies have shown that humans' capacity for regeneration is somewhat limited. However, even if the regeneration aspect of the project isn't quite successful, the study will still shed light on the process of brain death, and possibly spur innovation in the treatment of debilitating neurological diseases. -"Through our study, we will gain unique insights into the state of human brain death, which will have important connections to future therapeutic development for other severe disorders of consciousness, such as coma, and the vegetative and minimally conscious states, as well as a range of degenerative CNS conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease," said Dr Sergei Paylian, Founder, President, and Chief Science Officer of Bioquark. -Our last competition for the Summertime Reading Competition is the funnest!

How can you possibly go wrong with a gorgeous bride, a handsome groom, and a beautiful venue?? This beautiful Haitian couple chose a classic contemporary and elegant theme for their Central Florida wedding. We have such a history with Esther’s family ( We have already photographed 3 of her siblings weddings with 2 to go!) that Stan and I were really excited as well as nervous about capturing Esther and Kenso’s Bella Collina Wedding just perfectly. Everything went smoothly with the talented team of Lynn Stuckas of Your Events by L & L who was in charge of coordinating Esther and Kenso’s stunning Central Florida Bella Collina wedding. Esther’s flowers were just beautifully done by Weddings by Carly Anes, and complimented her stunning mermaid dress from Demetrios Bridal. Her off white mermaid dress was heavily beaded, with lots of sparkle to compliment the dress, while the form fitting skirt enhanced and complimented Esther’s perfect curves. The finishing touches were hair and makeup and beautifully done by LeJeune Artistry . The reception ballroom at Bella Collina was beautifully decorated with linens by Eli of Linen Creations, and D.J Geordany Jean Baptiste made sure that the music was a crowd pleaser, playing a well rounded selection of music from soca to hip hop to R & B. Of course we must include that Esther and Kenso’s stunning Bella Collina Wedding was captured by S & S Photography and their beautiful video captured by Kelvin Aultman . -Brandy and Dave met working aboard the Disney Fantasy Cruise ship in 2013. Brandy worked with the cruise staff team while Dave worked on the ship wide tech team. After nearly 4 years of sailing the seven seas with Mickey Mouse, the two lovebirds decided it was time to start a life together on land, in far away New Zealand. For Brandy’s 28th birthday Dave surprised her with a fantastic trip to the Bay of Islands and Cape Reinga, the northern most point of New Zealand. It was here, overlooking the ocean, on the last day of their trip, that Dave got down on one knee and popped the question. Brandy of course said “yes!” and the excitement of planning their September 22 nd wedding began. -When planning their wedding Brandy and Dave wanted a theme that reflected their life together thus far. They loved traveling, and decided to go with a vintage travel theme to match the grandeur feeling of the Ballroom at Church Street Station in downtown Orlando. Each table was themed around a different city in the world that they had visited together and of course they had to incorporate , at the head table no less, the Disney Fantasy Ship where they met. A ” Where in the world are you sitting? ” map directed guests to which city in the world they would be sitting and dining at. Party favors included a delicious candy station which included many different treats from the U.S , the U.K and New Zealand. A nice personal touch were the added photographs of each of their grandparents, on their wedding days ,which added the perfect vintage touch to their Ballroom at Church Street Wedding. -Since Brandy and Dave are from two different countries the most important thing they wanted to make sure happened on their wedding day was getting their friends and families together, allowing everyone to get to know each other. Their guests came all the way to Orlando from Australia, the United Kingdom and Switzerland to celebrate with them, and celebrate they did with delicious food, lively dancing and drinking all night long until their fiery sparkler departure. Their Ballroom at Church Street Station Wedding was a huge success, that brought together 2 families, and 2 different cultures. -All wedding days are a blur but no one will forget the epic Maid of Honors ” rap speech ” nor the fun father/daughter mash up dance Brandy did with her dad. Dave’s fondest memory was the tender and sweet dance with his grandmother to her favorite song. Congratulations Brandy and Dave, your wedding was great fun and S&S wishes you both many many years of happiness together!! -I honestly can say that Madalyn was one of the most relaxed brides I’ve ever encountered , lucky Aaron! When a bride “goes with the flow” so to say the stress of the wedding is greatly reduced. If you have no theme other than choosing things you like how can you go wrong? Instead of having to find things that fall within your theme or “go with ” your theme you can simply find what works for you thus opening up all sorts of possibilities. Madalyn and Aaron chose Maison et Jardin for their beautiful April 1st Orlando wedding and it was refreshing and surprising to me how beautiful and elegant everything was for a bride who had no theme and no preconceived ideas about how her Central Florida wedding day should be. -Congratulations to this wonderful and so in love couple, S & S Photography wishes you many years of health and happiness!! -We went with a personal friend to DJ our wedding. He knows our preferences in music and he was so eager to make us happy on our big day! -Would you believe that Mike & Paige’s parents and brother kept this proposed proposal secret for 3 WEEKS!! How her Mom kept that from her is beyond me, I would have burst from excitement! Paige and Mike eventually chose the beautiful Mission Inn Resort for their Orlando wedding. The day was rainy but nothing could dampen Paige and Mike’s excitement! All the planning , all the details, all came together ( with considerable help from their talented planner Katie Jimenez, owner of Big Day Celebrations, Katie@BigDayCelebrations.com) and their Mission Inn Resort wedding was a true celebration of the joining of 2 lives and 2 families. Here we are 2 months later and these 2 wonderful people are now busy helping others. Paige is a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Mike works in Law Enforcement protecting and serving the citizens of Orlando. -Stan and I wish Paige and Mike a long, happy and healthy life together. These are 2 people that are thoughtful, kind, smart, gorgeous, and just plain NICE…good people as they say, with wonderful families supporting them. Lots of love to them!! -Advice from the happy couple…” Always think about why your partner may be acting the way they are, whether they be happy, sad, mad,anxious etc. We find that this brings us peace and helps us to react in an appropriate way. We also encourage couples to ” not sweat the small stuff” . Is it really worth your energy to bring up that annoying thing that happened last week ; the answer is usually no. When there are big issues, talk about them and again, think about why your partner is acting the way they are. If you know what may be causing them their sadness, anger, anxiousness only then can you move in a direction towards happiness! Great words of wisdom Mr & Mrs. Hamm! -Alyssa and Bud’s beautiful Venice wedding! -Bud and Alyssa first met at a Chilies restaurant in 2013 after initially meeting on line via “Chemistry.com”. Clarence, AKA Bud, worked the night shift as an Orlando Police Officer and Alyssa, as she says,”being surrounded by engineers limited our dating scene so we both turned to online dating and it all turned out for the best!” Bud said that,” they talked for hours, about everything from work to zip lining, and unbeknownst to them, began laying the foundation of what would become a wonderful and lasting relationship.” Bud’s proposal began with an invitation to dinner and a movie, after which they headed for their favorite local spot, Cranes Roost. ” It’s where we first became officially boyfriend and girlfriend, and had our first kiss.” Bud even had a photographer there who, under the false pretense of “practicing” on them, proceeded to take their picture. Alyssa went along and agreed to ” have some stranger take our photo” Bud, after the first photo, got down on his knee and proposed! She said YES and now here they are, happily married newlyweds in 2016. -August 6 th was the big day and Bud and Alyssa agreed that they wanted an outdoor themed wedding, without the outdoors…” Too hot for a Florida August outdoor wedding” said Alyssa. They chose the beautiful Plantation in Venice, a spot on the East coast close to where Alyssa grew up. One thing Alyssa knew for certain was that she wanted a cookie table at the reception. ” I was raised by my Mom and always grew up close to her, she was the one there through thick or thin. My Dad lived in NY so when I visited him he would make sure we had our time together by waking me up in the middle of the night and we would have Oreos and milk” How super sweet..pun intended! -Everything came together beautifully on their wedding day in large part due to Alyssa being a very hands on and involved bride. “Everything was set up and made by myself or one of my amazing bridesmaids- from the homemade jams and the signs to the center pieces and the kids table!” Apart from a tiny thunderstorm that blew through as the ceremony was about to start the wedding was a success…lively & full of dancing and laughter, which ended with an exciting ecofetti departure. Alyssa and Bud Stan and I wish you two lovebirds a long, safe and prosperous life together and want to thank you for inviting S & S to be a part of such a momentous occasion in your lives! -After 7 years of dating Chris unexpectedly proposed to Pam in June of 2015 at a Styx concert! “We had seen them twice before and were super excited to be able to go again. The show was incredible and we had a great hotel which we ended up at after the concert. Our room had a view overlooking a river and he suggested we take a walk along the boardwalk. I was a little curious since it was an odd time of night to go (around 11:30pm I think) but it was beautiful. We walked onto the bridge over the river and joked about how many spiders there were (I am afraid of them of course). He told me how much he loved me and promised he always would then asked if I would do the same and when I said yes he pulled out the ring. I promptly dropped the water bottle that I was holding onto his foot, I was so surprised! But we laughed and I practically screamed yes and the rest, as they say, is history.” Pam’s Mother had purchased a dress for her to wear at her prom many years ago at the Goodwill store in her high school home town of Lockhart , for $14.00. She ended up not being able to go to her Senior Prom and the dress stayed with her as she moved and relocated 3 times….she loved her dress too much to part with. No occasion seemed worthy of it, until Chris proposed…”After Christopher and I got engaged I had no doubt that I would wear my long lost dress, it was perfect. The theme, flowers and decor all fell into place after that! ” Stan and I loved Pam’s entire look…from her dress to her beautiful summer flowers in her hair, the inspiration coming from her childhood…”My mother wore a flower crown for her wedding and I remembered how much I loved playing with it when I was younger. I thought about buying a crown online but the cost was way higher than I expected and the colors were good but not perfect. It took many trips to a handful of craft stores but I was able to find the flowers that I really wanted and after reading some DIY articles I decided to make my own crown. All in all it cost around $35 (for the stuff I actually used) and took about 18 total hours.” The guest list for their intimate July 31st wedding was short..her parents, his parents , his sister and boyfriend and a favorite Aunt…”Our parents, my aunt, and Christopher’s sister and her boyfriend have truly been our support system and very best of friends over the last 5 years which made them the most important people to have with us on our wedding day.” The ceremony was in a beautiful park tucked away in a Longwood neighborhood, with dinner at Lake Mary’s FishBones.Congratulations to a sweet, unique and beautiful couple!! -Karla & Steven Bayes chose one of Orlando’s premier wedding locations for their beautiful March wedding…yes we are late posting this but better late than never! Orlando’s ChampionsGate Resort is a gorgeous Central Florida location perfectly suited to hosting Central Florida weddings. This venue is beautifully decorated, especially the courtyard and ballrooms. The accommodations are luxurious , the cuisine exceptional and the service superb. S & S Photography enjoyed working with a talented , organized and detail oriented co-ordinator and her team, Xiomarra Sanchez, owner of A Nite To Remember Events. ( Niteevents.com) Xiomarra and her team ensured that every detail, every desire, every element and every aspect of the wedding day was meticulously addressed , handled and taken care of immediately,for the bride and groom. When I asked Xiomarra why Steven and Karla chose S & S Photography for their Central Florida wedding photography needs she answered…”S & S was a no brainer when picking a wedding photographer for Karla and Steven. Charlene and Stan were the photographers for Karla’s Mothers wedding a few years back and they LOVED them! Working with S & S is EASY and a PLEASURE. I LOVE Charlene’s energy. The pictures speak for themselves. EXCELLENT photography and an EXCELLENT company”. We always look forward to working with A Nite To Remember Events and we look forward to the change in photography needs of Karla and Steven…from being their wedding photographers to, one day, becoming their FAMILY photographers! -It was so wonderful to be the wedding photographers for a couple that truly compliments each other and are so in love with each other! Heather and Todd’s Bella Collina wedding was absolutely wonderful and touching beyond words, just perfect. Their outdoor traditional wedding ceremony on the lawn at Bella Collina was romantic and emotional…watching Todd try to stay composed while Heather walked towards him on her Dad’s arm had me tearing up! After the ceremony we had so much fun taking their wedding pictures…under the Bell Tower, down by the bridge…we’re always able to find great locations for wedding pictures at the Tuscan themed Bella Collina. The evening was filled with joy and laughter and everyone there had an amazing time celebrating the union of two amazing people! -If Raheem Hassan had been a non-Muslim who threatened to kill his Muslim colleagues, do you think criminal charges against him would have been dropped if he agreed to stay out of trouble and go into counseling? Neither do I. And now the city is paying him $224,000 because he was allegedly harassed, although “neither the city nor Hughes admitted any wrongdoing.” Clearly Bill de Blasio’s New York just wanted this case, with its allegedly “Islamophobic” firefighters, to go away: “Hassan’s lawsuit continues against two other defendants, firefighters Joe Lankford and Tommy Donovan, who, like Hughes, did not receive legal representation by the city.” They were on their own. -Wednesday, December 19, 2018 — Anaheim, California, December 20, 2018 – Premium German interface manufacturer RME is pulling out all the stops at this year’s NAMM Show, hosting appearances at its booth 14702 every hour by a range of top audio professionals and musicians who are shaping the future of their respective disciplines.

My 400mm f/2.8 lens would have worked nicely, it would allow me to zoom into the moon to fill the frame and still let plenty of light in to give me the best chance of a capture. I ran into two problems. First off, doubled – the 400mm 2.8 lens goes to 800mm f/5.6. Then, the more zoomed in you are, the more the movement of the subject in the frame. I had settled on a 1.4x extender which would get me close to 600mm with just a one stop penalty to put me at f/4. -Next was the camera. I have a Canon Rebel 35mm film SLR that I bought on eBay for $1. It had controller issues, but thankfully the camera just so happened to work set to manual. I gave the inside a coat of urethane, set up some glass guides to hold a plate and shot it. 600mm, f/4 – ten seconds. And that’s the plate you see to the right. -Fast forward ten or so months I just so happen to be interested in seeing what I can achieve with the setup again. My converted SLR has since gone missing in the attic and I really didn’t want to permanently convert one of my many other 35mm film SLR cameras to wet plate. So for a few minutes I looked at the back of the camera and came up with a game plan on a plate holder that turned a 35mm camera into a wet plate camera.. And the best thing was that it was reversible. That is, if you’re careful to not drip corrosive silver nitrate into the body. -Because the material is just a millimeter and a half thick I decided to hollow the center with no corners and then just stick corners on myself with a good metal to plastic glue. The corners themselves are cut pieces of trophy plate. -Once the glue was dried the holder gives a nice snug fit in the film compartment of the Canon Rebel 35mm body! I hope to get to making some images soon with it! -Introduction Letter For Resume Sample Of Cover Letter For Fresh Graduate Accounting Cover Resume Cover Letter Sample Pdf Uploaded by on Sunday, December 9th, 2018 in category fake resume generator. -See also Introduction Letter For Resume Cover Letter Resume Examples Newsound Co Sample Self Introduction Introductory Letter Sent With A Resume from fake resume generator Topic. -Here we have another image Introduction Letter For Resume A Must Have Cover Letter Introductory Cover Letter For Resume featured under Introduction Letter For Resume Sample Of Cover Letter For Fresh Graduate Accounting Cover Resume Cover Letter Sample Pdf.

(viď nepáčilo). -Pokoje prostorné s vlastním balkonem jsou super, i když v zimě se zrovna nevyužijí. Snídaně byla velmi bohatá, vybere si opravdu každý.

The points on 03 seem to be frozen; even though the indicator arrows switch from red to green, the points stay in the same position. Also, whenever I try to run a loco through either turnout, it derails! Close visual inspection does not reveal any immediately obvious reason for this to be happening, and I am moving at less than 10 mph with the points properly set, so I can't see that it's anything I'm doing, either. Help??? -PlS NEVER feel bad if something is not working(lucky happen very rare!) as we all know very well certain things(N3V bugs) we have no control but can repair luckily at least so i feel good when i can help. -by tonight or tomorrow dec. 31st latest I will have a updated version of CPR Mountiain Sub and Rogers Pass both under release 1.0.2. -If you are interested to receive please email me on roystrainz together with information on your username so I can provide each one with a newer version. -update contains replaced corrupted switches, repaired textures dissolved left and right and also a new speed and signal update. -The signal update will cover Viktor Lake till half way Lake Kinbasket to Donald Station. -Please report any missing, corrupt or not working item so we can update them in the next version end of january 2013. -thanks for all the nice post and help to get this blog getting better and more lively. Please post any remark, suggestion, idea, wish, comment in general as llong as it is constructive and positive. -Many thanks again and happy, happy new year!!! -Ok this morning test revealed signal 1100S is flashing yellow top left. the V2 HUD is showing green. I consider this not to bad and would accept the HUD not to be correct. The more once the train passed the signal it turned yellow for S 1095S so proofed the HUD is little bit off. Your take and please do not be shy to post something here. -Trouble with the 1.0.2 download. I'm getting a file not found error. Possibly because the link says crp rather than cpr? -Happy New Year to all of you!!!!!!!! -I confirm that the download of version 1.0.2 and the installation in Trainz went as expected, ie. no problems at all. -Thanks for such good service and for such a superb route. -Thanks Gilles most other Roy's trainzers confirmed also good execution of the new release and yes works as expected, thanks for the ice comment. -Hi everyone! I want to thank Roy for an AMAZING route (I bought the 3-in-1 CPR Mountain Sub)!! The detail is ridiculous and I cannot even imagine the effort and time it took to create this route. Today I spent some time reading the new PDF instructions for the CMTM System (http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showt...7-CMTM-Upgrade) and was wondering if anyone else other than myself is crazy enough to attempt creating at least one session utilizing it. It seems like a daunting endeavor and I have no doubt that it would be an intense effort. However, I believe that a few of us dedicated enough may be able to team up and put something quite impressive together for this equally impressive route. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas? I especially would like Roy to chime in here too. Thanks! -Enough industries to do the first steps with lumber industries rolling stock and truck bringing the lumber from the forest..eg. -64WarHorse, yes, I think that there are enough industries, esp if you include the whole Mountain Sub. Not to even mention what Roy here has proposed (integrating it into his upcoming additional route(s)). CMTM does support all sorts of cool scenarios as mentioned by Roy, not just yard/switching duties specifically. I am in the process of learning the new CMTM version (v.4) and would gladly contribute as much time/effort that I can to developing some sessions if we do it in a team fashion. :) Maybe we can start small at first and make some very basic sessions/scenarios to see how it goes. If all works out well then we can collaborate and come up with some truly epic sessions for these awesome routes! This idea is very exciting for me and if some of you share my enthusiasm (esp Roy), I really think we could build something legendary here. Idk. Maybe we can pull DAP (CMTM creator) into this somehow too. -Okay, colour me intrigued. So where do we start? I suppose the first question would be, do we need to modify any rolling stock for CMTM? -This is the most expensive ad-on I have ever bought, but I consider it worth every penny. -Keep the spirit high. :) I really look forward to following the devlopment of Your project. -Steve i agree i will tell Ray to change the background in a neutral easy to read color monday! promise! -ChrisD yeeeehhh wow that feels good you like it as so many did already before you and yes it is a marvel and yes worth every penny you spent There is so much to discover it will take you a lot of time to find out and still not see it all,........that means yes i spent a lot of time creating this and hope to finish the next section soon. -Railworks user here that just had to see what Trainz was capable of in its most extreme! Picked up Trainz on 75% discount and bought the Rogers Pass route from your site. The level of detail in this route is amazing. Im a routebuilder in Railworks, and I know how long it takes to build anything. I cant imagine it being any different in Trainz.. Your work is really and I mean really fantastic! Its all in the details as they say and your route has it all. Take care all and thanks again for your hard work Roy! -Hello all! Sorry for the few days absence but I've been quite busy lately. Anyway, I am almost done reading and re-reading the CMTM documentation and would soon like to start collaborating with those of you interested in helping me out with some basic CMTM session ideas and subsequently creation. All of those interested should PM me on the main Trainz forums thread and send me their e-mail addresses so we can communicate more efficiently. Or, feel free to e-mail me directly at runthat1@gmail.com. -saw that one too1 I did straighten a track segment and did not realize the signposts were separate and so got this cosmetic error. Moved the post and fixed already, thanks for reporting. -Thank you for this nice route it is wel very long to drive cpr mountain sub -)) my wife is killing me. -Guillaume, i cannot advice you what is a less of more painful death, killed by your wife or trainz excitement, lol. -Thanks 4 sharing, Ning laughs she understand. -Hopefully this will work in TS12, seeing errors as I install, previous versions errors, warnings. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the routes! -all related to JVC grass items by author jankvis. -missing deps or unknown deps 99% of the time are caused by to many cdp's installed at the same time in Content Manager Program! So if jankvis has unknown ora ny other look for the author and reinstall that group like here for Jankvis go to group 3 dependencies you downloaded and reinstall the group J in there, should work flawless honest. -hmm working in my dungeon on Mount Stephens/Spirals/Lake Louise area Laggan sub.....sssst top secret. -"Roy, the screenshots of the Mountain Subdivision are phenomenal. Have you done the whole thing to absolute scale? What sources did you use (or are you a railroader)? What version of Trainz will this run on and are there related kuids included?" -Like Google real scale and detail as far as possible. -Running TS12 latest version 49922. -Thanks a million Roy! You are a wonderful and patient support. Everything is up and going, beautifully! Now for that latte, sit back, relax and enjoy. -Thursday Feb 27th I will upload release 1.03 of the CPR Mountain Sub. Claim yours by sending an email to me and i will link an upload for you. Have a great week! -did you have any succes implementing the CMTM system for our routes? let us know what the current status is ok? -Hello! Sorry for the lack of updates, but I was out-of-state enjoying Mardi Gras in New Orleans for a few weeks. :) But yes, CMTM DOES work with the routes and it works quite well actually. I had started to collaborate with another member here but he hasn't replied to my last e-mail. He had some VERY good session ideas which I was excited to work on with him. He had suggested doing multiple CMTM sessions, each one building upon the previous one(s). I will attempt to contact him again. Otherwise, I, myself, have begun testing CMTM implementation on the CPR Mountain Sub route (3-in-1) and am now trying to come up with some of my own session ideas. If ANYONE else here would like to help, PLEASE contact me via e-mail or PM on the forums. -Mardi Gras that has been a while for me.... very nice time! -Well CMTM that sounds good, let me know when you have something for me to test here and give ideas to you as feedback. If lucky not to long we have a connection to the Laggan sub to run real CMTM! -Keep up the excellent work and keep me in the pict. -CPR Mountain Sub release 1.0.3 is ready for dl. -email me and I open in your account for dl! -Hello all! I must apologize for the delay in providing any updates regarding implementing CMTM 4 on the CPR Mountain Sub. I am just starting to get over a nasty bout with bronchitis/upper respiratory infection and have not been able to devote much time to Trainz or much else aside from sleep (and coughing my lungs out). Steve (I am now unsure of his Trainz username here) contacted me awhile ago about his interest and desire to help me get some CMTM sessions thought-out and started. I will be contacting him later today to continue to work out the details of some of his ideas (which are really awesome btw!!). Not going to ruin the surprise or anticipation, but due to the route's huge size and unique layout of industries, yards, and portals to subsequent routes that Roy has mentioned, the sessions Steve has suggested as some possibilities really do a great job of taking those factors into account. -Roy, yes!, CMTM 4 can and DOES work with the route(s) and YES!, it should definitely be something you take into consideration for future updates, upgrades, and new routes/expansions. Steve and I both came to the same conclusion that adding CMTM to existing rolling stock is a very simple matter of just adding some lines to the config.txt files. However this poses a potential problem with the original content creators' licensing/hosting mandates. I am not sure what to do about this potential issue, but I am sure we will find a way. -kep up the good work guys, i work hard to get the daunting task of texturing over and over again certain areas to my liking but as i get older (like all of you) every day, day by day I get more picky and say to myself time is not of the essence, quality, pride of work and fun of doing it makes the difference. -if this continues I close the blog and concentrate only on supporting you guys my unbelievable nice cosy and great roys trainz family. SP1 is the door closer for me with trainz although I will support you guys to the end of the 5 major routes for the next years to come and look seriously for another alternative than N3V. -i not understand what fun they have spamming this blog. there is no financial gain nor fight or dispute of any kind related unless they show their face like we do. -ugly but it seems to make them happen. -Garbage not only fills our oceans and kills habitat. -I just finished testing a way around the grotesque bug existing for years far as TRS 2009 and now even blocking my routes from working with tunnels. -It is not a copmplete guarantee it should work now for you to so pls dl it and test it once I uploaded only CPR marked as 57720_CPR. i not upgrade any smaller route instead I will teach you how to spli them yourselves from a certain release for your own enjoyment. Kepp all routes updated is to much work right now and easier to split the biog one local at your desk. -Yess, they failed to block me here is a version that will work at least it does on my computer 57720! I will now start prep upload for the route with tunnels working but its new tunnels not the old one i did change little things in the config too of the tunnels. -Ok just uploade the latest CPR version working with big tunnels in 57720 SP1 and also uploade the 577203rdparty_fix for deps new tunnels you need to dl again. sorry for the incovenience but thank N3V for all the mishap and fuzz they create and deny. -I am not sure how to update my Rogers Pass to SP1. Please advise. -Niels send me an email and acc namr and see what we can do ok? -Maybe You should take a look at Open Rails when You get a few moments to spare. -This is where I have moved after giving up on TS12 and its "Service Pack". -This freeware Train Simulator (at 0.8 rev 1561) uses at present existing MSTS Routes, but is running on 4 cores and is revised several times each week. -Bug reporting and fixing is a breeze compared to N3V, and the team even works for nothing. -Visual range from the CAB, where I am supposed to be when I drive a train, is 4 Km´s and can be set even higher If You want to, but 4 Km´s is GREAT sustaining a 100+ frame rate. -The driving experience is CLASSES Higher than Trainz. -Sorry for rubbing salt in Your wound, but my wound is just as great thanks to N3V, and You said in a previous post that You might change platform. -Just wanted to let you know that after a fresh install of TS12 SP1 and CPR Mountain Sub 57720 I am simply amazed. -Never before have I been able to run with 5000MT draw successfully. Usually I cannot even open up the CPR as it locks up my computer. I have never been able to run it with all sliders maxed out but with TS12 SP1 and CPR 57720 I have no problems. -The graphics are a huge improvement as is the sound. -In fact the only minor issue I have is a slight stutter when the scenery detail slider is on normal or high with the other sliders at max value. Smooth as silk if scenery detail is on low. this is unheard of on my humble computer. I will play with the slider settings a little more as I am sure there is a better compromise re the stutter. -I have kept the TS12 pre SP1 install just in case, but I am really loving the 57720 version so much. -I will report back after testing in a heavy yard area and with other trains about. -That's all for now, Andrew. -sorry to hear you leave. -Well if Open rails has a modeller similar to trainz or better, if the dbase of 3rd party freeware objects to choose from is similar or better, if there is a way to "move" "recreate the same DEM, networks, road,splines and locations of existing objects ....what else. -I know the problem, and there is no easy solution. -As for the assets, there may be a way forward. Most assets are built with some kind of 3D modeller, and if the raw files (before export to Trainz) is at hand they can be exported to MSTS as well. -I am sure we will never get to a quater of a million assets, but right now N3V is voiding a batch of these, so.. -I not need all dls items so far 400 are faulty in my trainz dbase. ouch but can live with it for the moment. -thanks for your support dear friend say hello home from all of us!! -New version of CPR Mountain Sub TS14 release 1.0.5 now available. -just uploaded the 1.0.5 release which runs very nice and is the best ever driver version so far in 10 years! Scenery and quality is beyond expectations and a complete surprise probably for N3V too they never check or report things anyway. -OGL is now finally the way to go and has better fps too when tweaking your Nvidia. -Personally I am most happy with driver as the speedtrees and my textures now do VERY well!!! -I just made a free roam around Your route and the memory usage peaked at 2,454,000 Kb, so Trainz definately uses more than the usual 2 Gb. And, no locking or long thinking pauses. -Roy, thanks again, I have donwloaded all 1.0.5, do I need all these if I have the previous version? -If you dl already earlier revs deps you not need to dl again same. -Chris thanks for the link it seems to work better than expected! -Is there a way to undo the 4GB patch? My trainz.exe file is changed, cannot apply patch #2. Thanks. -you run into the same booby trap too like me. -Currently i make some backups of older TS212 versions to an old HDD but a slow one. After done I will than carefully upgrdae another 57720 on my SSD and install same way you do. -I lost my major HDD backup disk incl my original TS12 files from trainz setup. Not in the mood now to see if i can dl them again from trainz... Maybe when we finished supplying N#V with all the bugs they will fix them for the next TS14 for sure and use us as their testers like always. -there is and never will be a rollback from them so when goes wrong you have to uninstall reinstall crazy but true as far as I know. -keep me us posted and you can post in roy doors thread so other can learn from it. -That is Your original file. Just delete the Trainz.exe and rename tha backup. -Ok guys this evening uploaded tons of kuids upgraded to trainz build 3.5 to be used in TS12 49922 and 87898. -If your interested dl the 5 groups on the deps page of your profile. -Roy, just found your website by chance, looked at your route pics. they are the best I've seen. You are an artist. -For all those using the CPR Mountain freeware route with s301 ZR grasses which unfortunately not do the job at all. I did replace them today but the route is not updated yet. -Here is a way to use replace assets and you can dl via your profile the Pofig-JVC frewware cdp with the grasses needed. -I did work on a proper replacement for the S301 grasses for the freeware grass version of the CPR route. -I thought that those from jvc in the pofig lib could do the job till one decides to change/upgrade to ST_2 grasses if he/she likes them more. -find near track following item "ZR~(Gr-1)Grass R-Dark green-2 mtr" -open in surveyor main menu replace assets and place this object in left side as assets to replace! -click current selection only to make it replace all in the route! -"3D1_Pg-JVC_gr1_22" is asset to replace with! -3D1_Pg-JVC_gr2_58 asset to replace with! -In case you are not familiar with I can make tomorrow a short video how to but bet you know this command how to use. -Roy, a query please. I am in the process of writing a Session for CPR to be uploaded (hopefully) to the DLS. -I have the freeware S301 grasses at the moment. If I replace them with the 3D1 grasses does your map still retain your kuid? -If I upload a Session with S301 grasses will other players with other versions of grasses still be able to download and play a Session from the DLS? -I not have experience with creating sessions to that level of detail how trainz would handle it bit from the surveyor handling this it should work as long as the other side has the same grass it will show that grass. -Most probably the session would have missing deps (grasses) if the other party not have those grasses in his/her dbase. -We have to test this and see or discuss with other more experienced session users on the forum. -The eeasiest and most forward way for you however would be to make these grasses Gr... now used mandatory to dl and install when someone dl your session. -I have never used Replace Assets before so I'm not sure if it also replaces your kuid with mine for the map. That would be no good to upload a Session to the DLS. -I'll play safe for the moment and keep to the S301 grasses until my Session is released. After that I can experiment. -I think you are right in that another player would have missing deps but that should'nt affect the playability of the Session. -BTW, what is the correct spelling. Illecillweat or Illecillwaet? Both are used in the map. I would like to know the correct one for use in html messages. -Before you release any session on the dls make sure that not inadvertedly parts of the payware route are linked or available thru the session on the dls. -I never used sessions in depth but I think i saw once a large route file linked in the sessions data file that was the major part of the route. -This we have to avoid you understand. -Replace asset is easy and handy so pls use it and let me now the new grasses do the job. -Illecillewaet is the correct name. -I understand your concerns about people getting hold of your route through other means. That will not happen with me. I shall be uploading 2 files to the DLS when ready. One is the Session and the other is a HTML file which will contain the instructions, messages, etc. -Nothing of your route is included apart from your kuid in the Session config.txt that gives the map being used. What this means is that if someone hasn't bought the route and downloads the Session, they won't be able to play it as the route will be a 'Missing Dependency'. -With your permission I'll add into the DLS description that the Session uses a Payware route only available from you at Roy's Trainz. You never know, it might bring in a few extra sales! If someone has already bought the route then everything is peachy. -I've started the Session at Revelstoke CPR Yard and have now reached Illecillewaet (correct spelling thanks). -I'll tidy up here and save a backup to external HD before I try replacing the grasses. -thanks for the nice post and agree with you. -Sorry for the late approval of the post. -My webmaster adviced me to go this cumbersome way to approve outside posts since hackers/spammers keep bombarding the website relentlessly what fun they think they have is unclear to me but this world has more unclear habits and things happening. -Thanks for the reply. I agree with you, these hackers are a menace. -I installed the grasses ok but what I feared would happen, did. I could only save them in a new map with my kuid. This of course is no good as I need to upload a Session for use with your map, your kuid. -What I think I'll do is to continue on to Wakely and stop there. I'll upload the Session and explain that it can only be played with your S301 map. I'll wait and see if there is any positive interest/feedback before deciding whether to carry on to Golden. -Don't bother replying to this post. I'll put future posts on the Forum and let N3V worry about the hackers. -If you go into the config of your session and change the route map the session refers to than, anyone who has the CPR in any form but different grasses eg should be able to run the route/session. -When you have a test for me i can proof what I say when you ready. -I have done this dozen times when a session linked to an older CPR version I wanted to link to a newer, changed the config map kuid the session has to run on and done. -I understand what you mean when updating Sessions but this is your own kuid on your own computer and Trainz recognises this. -When I replaced the grasses I can only save it in my kuid which Trainz gives me, like it or not. -For instance: your map 122860:100035, after installing and saving the new grasses has now become 90608:100027, the 90608 being my kuid. -This is fine as long as I don't want to upload the map to anywhere. It may now be in my kuid but doesn't belong to me. -I think the way to go is to release the Session with the default map 122860:100035. I will add an instruction on how to change the map kuid in the Session to whatever they have on their system. This will not infringe your copyright as any player must have bought your original map before they can update grasses. -All very complicated so I'll leave that for now until I get the Session finished. -I'll come back to you at that time to see about testing. -defying 58414 little critters and bugs the Rogers Pass passed my QA tests with "flying colors" after crashing first time after 2 hours without any normal reason than the exisitng Trainz bug. -The route is now ready for dl for those interested in a 58414 1.07 version of this section. -About wich trainz TS12 versions support my routes. Simple and straight forward ALL releases work 100% and dependencies of the route are all working and links for dl provided. It cannot be more simple and all in one place.If for any reason you feel well with the 49922 version dl this one from your account profile.I use the 58414 as the driver here runs particularly well, but earlier versions no problem. -Can i ask what the file size is for the whole Route please Roy ?, Like to download the whole thing mate i am on a limited wireless service here and it would take for ever to download if the Route and Deps is too big. And does it only come in a winter version ?. Loks pretty cool the whole thing. -sorry I just now checked the blog to see for comments that need approval. Many times hackers and sorts of try to ruin one's day and for unknown reason and sick pleasure that never works at least not with us. -Ok the size of the entire route is a cdp/zip 199 MB! not that big even for a limited internet connection and my site has fast acces so dl would work fine. -The deps are all grouped in smaller ones and also setup to fit as you said ltd acces internet connections. -I am very pleased to see you around here and we would be more than happy to welcome you to our community. You will love it and yes the winter/seasonal groundtextures for a auto pre and post winter experience is included. -Check my thread there are somewhere also winterpictures around. -This should get you on the tracks with Roy's trainz. -Thanks Roy i'll certainly grab it at sum stage mate, Few other projects i want to take care of first though so thanks again. -Hate to be a pain again mate sorry but can i ask one more question, If i have not updated to the latest patchs for TS12 can i still use your Route ?. Or would i have to patch to the latest build ?. Thanks Roy. -yes when you purchase my routes it will show you what to dowload for eg. 49922 WIN and MAC version and in case the 58414 release the coresponding CPR route working/updated for the version of TS12. -Also I did "update a lot of built-in and other used cdp's to actualize them as far as feasible to run well on 58414. -these routes look awesome, i'm currently downloading alot of stuff for other software and will buy CPR Mountain Subdivision in a couple of hours. I hope the download includes everything needed to run the route because i'm new to Trainz12. Thank You Roy for your work of Art :) Harry from Montreal, Canada. -you make my birthday a complete success. thanks for the very nice comment. -Welcome to Roys Trainz and YES there is one page containing ALL needed deps at your fingertips. -OMG, WOW! Roy you're awesome! I just finished installing "Rogers Pass" and I am in shock at how beautiful the route looks in TS12. Your payware even looks better than Railworks TS2014......BRAVO! -Do you remember if I have all the routes when I bought the $70 combo? If not, which one do I not have? Curious, thank you for all your hard work and beautiful creative things. -The 3 in combo means that you bought the CPR Mountain Sub from Ottertail all the way to west of Revelstoke. -I made for a limited time 3 separate "smaller" routes cutting/overlapping with the huge CPR MOUNTAIN connecting them via Iportals. -The "smaller 3 sep routes" where temporarily I want to allow people to taste at "entry" level before deciding to go for the big one. -Some users liked the smaller ones to run a few hours i.o. of 9 up all day. -99% bought and uses the CPR MOUNTAIN SUB. -I did not anticipate so much work due to several bugs in any trainz version when cutting. Imagine eg deleting a baseboard does not mean all data within and crossing is deleted and you and up with "invisble floating elements" ouside your cut route. -this morning Richard post on my trainz forum threads very touching post indeed! -"Hi Roy and everyone else who views this thread. -5 days ago I had been in Trainz exile for around 4 years. If I am totally honest I didn't think I would ever take an interest in Trainz again having drifted onto other things. On Sunday afternoon I stumbled across The Kickstarter Project "Trainz Simulator - A New Era". Initially I made a modest pledge, I liked the idea and the more I read about it, the more my interest in the future of Trainz was growing. The fire was lit and within a few hours I was back on the Kickstarter page increasing my pledge. At this point I was going to take a back seat and strap myself in for the ride and watch the next 4 weeks unfold. It didn't stop there though, I still couldn't stop at pledge number 2. I decided I needed a bigger slice of the action and pledge number 3 was made within 24 hours of me starting all this. Having got this far and making a commitment to the future of Trainz it was time to dust down my last version of the game Trainz 2009 and take a look. I had remembered fondly how much I enjoyed Trainz 2004 and Trainz 2006 along with Trainz classics, although if I am honest winding the clock back 4 years and looking at Trainz 2009 did little to enhance my new found enthusiasm for the Trainz Kickstarter project. -Taking the above into consideration it was time to research the current version of trainz and try and establish what the best available routes for Trainz 12 were. This is where I stumbled across Roys Trainz and after browsing his site and the forums I knew instantly I wasn't going to wait for my Get Trainz Now selection from the Kickstarter Pledge. I bought Trainz 12 along with CPR-Mountain-Sub TS14 and It's one of the best decisions I have ever made. -The Route is absolutely stunning Roy and is a credit to you. -I look forward to seeing your work hit new heights in future versions of trains. -ain't that something wow feels good and gives lots of energy. -The day after Dec.17th we all feel much better KS first step reached and more streched goals will make it for sure. -Thanks all the trainzers who supported vie my website and of course all those that pledged on the official KS and trainz website!!! -For those new to my website asking how come this blog is not very active, the reason is simple we use the main Trainz forum my trheads and thus reach at the same time other trainzers not part (yet) of the Roy's Trainz family. -If you like to share on my threads that you pledged also thru my routes please post over there and here of course. -I respect eachothers privacy and not publish a list. -Happy Holidays and Happy New Trainz year and 2014! -william asked me today in an email if my routes work on TS 12 he bought from steam. -Yes all my routes work on TS12 and all versions, see on this website when you click more on the CPR Mountain Sub it show TS12 version number and windows and or MAC version number. -Well, finally we did it the Laggan sub section West is ready to download. -further posts and comments we do as usual on the trainz forum in my threads Canadian rocky Mountains 2011 and others i opened there. -"I just downloaded the Columbia River Basin and it is the most amazing, most detailed route in trainz! It took me in a CP ES44AC running at track speed almost 3 hours to get done! of course I met 2 trains along the way and had to follow a northbound CN grain, but it was amazing! Super fun, super realistic, and totally worth the $25! Every person that has trainz 12 download this now!!!!" -Mid summer for most on this globe activity still high on roystrainz!! Most users know this blog is kind of sleepy as most activity blog etc is on trainz forum so please follow up over there to avoid double traffic. -At this moment i try to solve a mysterious bug on a beautiful very intelligent way of session automated traffic for CPR Mountain Sub created by my good dutch fellow friend Henk. His sessions works flawless on his computers but mine seem to love to bug a few AI trains so this and next week i will try to re-create his work from scratch and will keep you guys updated on the results. In case you are interested in the results email me or post on my threads on trainz forum. -Well we did it and cleared all winter tracks into Ottertail and further to Viktor Lake. Now ready for download is the all NEW CPR MOUNTAIN SUB SEASONAL with 4 seasons and much more and yes for future TANE use ready to migrate to that level when they are ready. In the mean time you can enjoy this gem the fullest in TS12 and maybe appreciate more now that TS12 with the so many shortcomings still is a nice piece of sim. It is sad to say how people ravage over TANE CE a not finished product (never should be released) as most trainzer have no clue what it takes to get a finished product until the final day of official release. -So i released yesterday some 300 plus seasonal assets. you will find them on the download page when you have bought the CPR Mountain Sub 1.0.9 look for the route 1.0.9 seasonal. -Still some more to do but that is for later now finish the TANE speedtrees first release for my routes. -Well at least the curtain starts moving in the TANE 3D theatre announcing wazz up and coming "soon". Yes they start with the Columbia River Basin followed by all the other one's all new routes so much bigger,wider,more details than ever before and much much more to come all in super realistic mode and not to forget protypical!! -Once all routes in TANe are out there the TS12 routes will fade out slowly and close an era we all enjoyed so much. You can post here but I prefer you do on my Canadian Rocky Mountains thread in the trainz frorum. A little bit more patience to iron out little critters and cracks by the N3V crew. they have a mountain of routes from me to get ready so give them credit and energy to get things done the soonest and well. -Glad Roy is still up and kickin'!!! -Lancashire agency Workhouse Marketing has appointed former account director Mark Camp to the position of director of operations. -Camp has worked with Workhouse in a variety of roles for the past nine years, previously heading up the accounts team for its largest client, Stax Trade Centres. Since 2015 he has worked closely with the agency on a freelance consultancy basis. The move will see him back at Workhouse in a permanent capacity. -He previously worked in marketing roles for the likes of Ribby Hall and DePuy (part of the Johnson & Johnson group) before moving agency-side Workhouse in 2008. -His new role will see him focused on the commercial side of the business, as well as taking responsibility for the client services teams. He will also continue to lead the Stax team. -Continue reading "The Daily 3: What Makes Me Happy" -I dig the design you picked! I’m excited to read more.

What about a mattress for back or stomach sleepers? Why is there a mattress designed specifically for side sleepers? The mattress must meet the unique needs that a side sleeper needs. The mattress should have a good temperature control so the person can sleep comfortably. The mattress should be reasonably priced and specifically designed for people who like to habitually sleep on their sides. The mattress must give this type of sleeper strong support for their backs, necks and legs, and feet. If the person likes to bend their legs while they sleep or they like to sleep with their legs straight the mattress must be able to meet these needs. This is why memory foam would be good to have so it will form to the person’s peculiar sleeping position. -Benefits and Uses: The mattress is supposed to have 3.5 gel memory foam that conforms to your body. It Will keep the spine aligned and prevent tossing and turning during the night. It does not allow for motion transfer and it will help you have a great night’s sleep. It is lined with New Zealand wool which absorbs moisture and controls the temperature. It will also stop odor from absorbing into the mattress. It contains no harsh chemicals or chemicals that are flame retardant. The mattress is great for side sleepers and the company offers a limited 25 year limited warranty. The mattress is rolled up and compressed into the box for easy shipping. -Feedback: The mattress had over 2200 review written about it. The customer has rheumatoid arthritis and says she can sleep on the sorest parts of her body and she has no pain. The pressure points are fine and she woke up at 7:30 in the morning and she felt like she had slept until 11:00 a.m. She was afraid to sleep on memory foam but she now has no reservations about it. -The customer said they researched the product thoroughly and decided to buy this memory foam mattress. He had tried several other memory foam mattresses in the past. He ordered the product and it was delivered to the front door. The customer was told the box weighed 102 lbs. and the customer was impressed with how compact the mattress was in the box. He dragged the box to the bed the mattress was to go on. He took it out of the box and he let the mattress air out for s night. He slept in another room and the next night he slept on the new mattress. He slept fine until 3:00 am and then he woke up with the sweats. He slept off and on until the morning. He slept on the mattress the next night but he put a fan near the mattress to cool it down. The fan got the room to cool so he had to set the fan at a higher speed. He developed an acute tailbone lower backache. He could not afford this injury because he does heavy lifting at his work. He decided to return the product so he contacted Amazon. The rep said since the mattress had human contact that Amazon could not return the product. The rep said his credit card would be fully reimbursed. He could not believe Amazon would give the money back without taking the mattress back. Amazon told him to give the mattress away. The customer rated the product 2-stars. You cannot blame him for giving the product such a low-rating. -The customer says this is the best mattress he has ever had except for a very expensive one his ex got to keep. This mattress did not sink in the middle or lose his form. He has had very good nights of sleep on the mattress and he gave it a 5-star rating. He highly recommends the product. This is a great mattress for the price. the customer says they have the mattress for a month and so far so good. The mattress is firm and the client likes to sleep on firm mattresses. -The customer is disabled and cannot go to the store to try out a mattress to see what it is really like before he would buy it. He tried this mattress and was disgusted with it because it was not firm at all. He showed a picture of himself sitting on the mattress. It sagged a good 6 to 8 inches when the mattress was 13 inches high. It is definitely not a firm mattress. The customer is tired of reading reviews that do not meet his expectations concerning the product. He thinks maybe the reviews are fake because they seem to be wrong most of the time. Being a disabled person he really needs the reviews to accurately reflect the quality of the product. He called Amazon and they said to give the mattress away but we will still fully refund your money. He likes the way Amazon takes care of the customers. The customer rated the product one-star. -The couple bought the mattress 3 years ago and they are disgusted with the product. They slept well on it at first but now they wake up in the morning with aches and pains. The mattress sagged in certain spots making it tougher to sleep. The rotated the mattress to try and alleviate the sags it did not work. They could not flip the mattress over because the thickness on the bottom is different than on the top. The customer said this mattress is only 3-years-old and is a lousy product. The customers rated the product 2-stars. The mattress was a solid mattress and it was easy to set up. The wife and husband were people of average weight so they cannot understand why the mattress would sag. They will not buy the product again and they do not recommend the product. -Benefits and Uses: It is a knitted polyester and tencel blended fabric which will relieve tension on your shoulders and hips. The mattress is great for side sleepers and is so soft you will think you’re sleeping in the clouds. The mattresses 4 layers will have you sleeping in optimal comfort. The top panel supplies you with comfort. The memory gel section alleviates pressure and gives you support while you sleep. The internal breathable layer keeps you cool while you sleep. The foundational layer comes in soft, medium, and firm designations. You order what you want. The mattress comes with a 10-year non-prorated warranty and a 120 night comfort guarantee. -Feedback: The customer said the mattress came in 18 inches and 41 inches square. It came in a heavy plastic shipping bag and it was easy to roll out of the bag. The customer put it on the mattress box and they waited two hours to sleep on the mattress. Contrary to what they had read and heard the mattress had no odor. The customer said they slept well on the mattress and that it was a foam mattress and not a memory mattress. The customer is right it is not a memory mattress but a foam mattress. The customer does not want a memory mattress. The customer rated the product 5-stars. -The customer rated the product 5-stars and said it was very easy to set up. The product is very comfortable and this is all the customer writes. This is not a detailed review and tells us nothing about the quality of the product. Why is it great? Is it firm? Is it soft? The customer does not say why they rated the product 5-stars. The customer does not write if they slept soundly during the night or that they woke up refreshed in the morning. We do not know if the customer woke up in pain or if any previous pains were alleviated. This review has no selling value for future customers. The review is too general and neutral to convince anyone to buy or not to buy the product. -This is not a very positive review because the customer rated the product 3-stars. Which really is an average rating. The customer bought a medium and firm mattress. The couple decided to sleep on the firm mattress and put the medium mattress in the guest room. The wife has had back issues for years and needed the firm support. The husband weighs 200 lbs and needs to find a comfortable position to sleep in. The firm mattress met this requirement. Despite this seemingly positive review, the customer rated the product 3-stars which sends strong mixed signals. The review will not convince people to buy the product. -The customer says the mattress is like sleeping on a cloud as they said in their own words. They tried the mattress in the store and the longer they laid on it the better they liked it. They selected the firm mattress and they have rated the product 5-stars. They wrote the review the day this article was written 7/16/2018. So, it remains to be seen what the customer thinks about the product down the road. -The customer pays the mattress was easy to set up and is comfortable to sleep on but they did not say why it was easy to set up or why it was so comfortable for them to lay on. The customer rated the product 5-stars. Two women wrestled the box mattress upstairs without any extra help. They said once you get it out the box take it right to where it will be slept on. This is because the mattress once it comes out of the box it expands rapidly so you do not have a lot of time to move the mattress. They put it in the guest room but quickly moved it to the master bedroom because it was too good to leave in the guest room. The mattress is nice and the customer rated the product 5-stars. -Benefits and Uses: Hopefully the mattress is worthy of the robust price tag it carries-$3599 which is very expensive. The mattress is 11.8 inches thick and it is made of temperature material. Or it will control the temperature as you sleep giving you a comfortable sleep. It helps to spread the body weight evenly across the bed helping you to sleep without waking up sore in the morning. The cover is made of breathable, cooling material that keeps the surface of the mattress cool. The mattress material is designed with cooling benefits and it draws heat from the body. -Feedback: The customer says the mattress is working very well for them. They use to lay down and could not sleep and on top of it they would wake up sore. Now, with this mattress as soon as they lay down they fall asleep. They wake up in the morning without feeling sore. They would wake up every morning sore when they slept on the other mattress. The client rated it 5-stars. The customer says they wanted to wait before they wrote this review and the finally got around to writing the review. They wanted to sleep on the bed for awhile before making a report and they wrote their report. The customer said they always thought they would sleep on a coil mattress but they bought this one instead. -Benefits and Uses: The mattress is designed to controls the temperature while you sleep and the memory gel contours to the body for a top night of sleep. 2 inches of memory foam sit on 8 inches of density foam with a soft foam cover. Like so many other mattresses the gel foam draws heat away from the body. -Feedback: The customer at first did not like the mattress because it gave her a “sinking” feeling. She sank in the mattress and it felt mushy. She called the rep and the rep said they would send a firmer mattress. But after 3 days the mattress became firmer and the customer fell in love with the mattress and canceled the order for a firmer mattress. The customer kept the medium mattress and she is sleeping very comfortably. Her husband loves the mattress as well and the customer is not waking up hot and sweaty during the night. The customer has rated the mattress 5-stars. -The customer has been using the mattress for quite awhile and it is just as supportive as it was on day one. The twin mattresses are working wonderfully for the customer and the bed doubles as a daybed and a night bed. The customer flips the mattress around but due to construction, the mattress cannot be flipped over. The customer weighs 140 pounds so keep this in mind as you read the review. If you are heavier than this customer’s 140 lbs the bed may not work for you. The Customer says the mattress is as good as some mattresses that may cost a lot more than this one. The customer would buy the mattress again. The customer expects the mattress to last for years. The customer rated the product 5-stars. -The customer bought this mattress to replace a $1200 dollar mattress the client owned before. This mattress is as good as that $1200.00 dollar mattress. The mattress was easy to set up and the customer is the mattress is working very well. The customer sleeps peacefully every night on the mattress. The customer says it is worth 5-stars and will update in the future if any problems arise. The customer said the odor from the mattress dissipated quickly and the customer was glad about this. -Benefits and Uses: The mattress has 2.5 inches of gel material on the top with 8.5 inches of deluxe base material. Supposedly the mattress brings a top luxury hotel feel to the home according to the company. The company claims that 90% of the reviews rated the mattress 5-stars. The mattress is able to relieve pressure points which prevents you from tossing and turning all night. The product will relieve shoulder, back and hip pain. The mattress is supposed to give you a delightful night of sleep. -Feedback: The company did not tell the truth they said 90% of the reviews were 5-stars. There were 77% of the reviews that rated the product 5-stars. Oh, this is great because the customer receives the mattress and the customer opens the box and finds some of the seams on the mattress were ripping on a brand-new mattress. The delivery guy will not take the mattress back because it is opened. The customer needs to return the mattress. What are they supposed to do now? It sure seems like the company cannot be trusted because they lied about how many 5-star reviews they received for the product and now this customer receives a new mattress that has seams ripping. -We have taken a look at some mattresses that will help you if you are a side sleeper and they will help you sleep comfortably with no aches or pains when you wake up in the morning. One downside in the reviews is one of the company’s lied about how many 5-stars reviewed they received for their mattress. It would be to a customer’s advantage to avoid this company. You will see which company it is in the review list above. -Expressing grief over the tragic incident at Kuligad Dhrabhshala in which two persons died, Minister of State for Transport, Sunil Kumar Sharma today visited the spot to take stock of the road condition. The Minister along with the Superintending Engineer R&B Doda/Kishtwar/Ramban, Niaz Bandey, ADC Kishtwar Kishori Lal Sharma, Executive Engineer Doda, Bhushan Lal Thusoo and Executive Engineer Kishtwar Maninder Kumar, visited the spot to ascertain the situation and condition of road on which work is being initiated by NHIDCL on war footing basis. -The Minister expressed anguish over the incident and urged upon the authorities to be vigilant so as to avoid loss of lives. “All we need to do is better implementation with honesty,” he said. After the visit the Minister convened an emergency meeting with the officers at Thathri Dak Bungalow and discussed the measures for alternate road for which Executive Engineer R&B has been directed to Submit DPR within days. -The Minister also called MD NHIDCL Anand Kumar for taking a decision to declare the areas a susceptible zone which was approved on the directions on the Minister. -Sq. Ft. Above Ground. 2,218 Sq. Ft. Below Ground. -I am interested in 7702 S 775 E, Zionsville, IN 46077. -An autobiography of Fran Drescher. -Great surprise today with the mail!! I didn't expect the book to arrive this soon! Thanks for sending it, FamFatale!!! I'm looking forward to read it!!. -I hope your book will arrive soon too!!! -Left the book in Switserland with a friend who wanted to read it too. After she's finished with it, the book will come back to me so I can read it myself. -Have fun reading it, Irene!! -So, E-mile, the book comes back to you in Holland and thanks again! -Fran is back!!!! My friend from Switserland send me the book back; so now I can read it myself. She realy liked it, so I'm even more eager to read it than I already was!!! -I just loved the book!!!!! -Fran tells her story with such humor. -good reading material it is. -Again thanks for the book, FamFatale!! -And there was interest for a bookring! Today Fran will go to the first person in the ring: Arja. -Have a safe and wonderful journey, Fran!!! -E-mile mentioned this book and I thought it'd be interesting to read more about Fran's life. Might take a few weeks, as I suddenly had a pile of ring books arrive at the same time. -I never realized how many other shows and films Fran Drescher must have worked on, before and during The Nanny. Also, I had not expected her to be so obnoxious and eccentric all the time in her behaviour and writing. IMHO this gets a bit annoying, even though that is who she is (or how she wants to present herself). -E-mile, can you please tell me who to send the book to next? -Gister in de brievenbus gekregen via Arja. Hartelijk bedankt voor het langsbrengen. Ben er meteen in begonnen, was speciaal even in niets nieuws begonnen omdat ik wist dat ie eraan zat te komen. Ben benieuwd. Leuk dat het boek helemaal uit de US komt! -What a lovely book to read and nice photo's too! Very funny. A real feel-good-story as far as I'm concerned, really liked it. -She sounds gratefull for the carrier she has and doesn't take her success for granted. I'll enjoy the episodes of The Nanny even more now I know the whole history and details behind it! -I will bring the book to Tiekie this week asap. -Got this book today from Pietenpadje. I am very looking forward to reading this book, so I will move my other books to a dark place and settle down tonight! Thank you E-mile for this lovely ring-book!! -I am sending this book to the next person on the list. I have got no time to read it and I don't want to keep it here for too long. -Fran arrived on my doormat today! -I'm really looking forward to reading this book. -Thanks for sending it Tiekie, and perhaps you can still read it after me? -By the way, nice to know that this book comes all the way from America! -Finished it and what a fun book to read! -At times I really had to laugh out loud. And it's really written in her voice, literally... you actually hear her saying all these sentences! -The only thing that was nagging me whilst reading the book was the way she talked about her husband and her wonderful marriage... soon after this book was published they got divorced!! -Maybe she wrote about that in her second book? I guess I have to read that as well! -I'll contact Tiekie to ask if she has time to read it now, otherwise this book will be off to muizz. -Fran is on her way to Muizz! -Sorry for the late journal entry. I found the parcel in a stack of mail when I came home from a couple of days abroad and then I forgot to register it. Luckily Mirre sent me a reminder that she hadn't heard wether the book has arrived. Well, it has! Probably it will take some time before I am able to read it, because there are some other books screaming for attention as well. -Thanks for ringing the book, and Mirre, thanks for sending the book and for the reminder. -Imagine you are at a dinner party and the woman sitting next to you doesn't stop talking. She keeps on talking about her career, clothes, celebrities she's met, clothes, her succesful television show, clothes, her apearance at David Letterman shows and how funny she was there, clothes, etc. You don't want to be impolite and you make some encouraging noises, and in the mean time you are looking for a place to hide. -That's how I felt when reading this book. Normally I love (auto)biographies, but this one I didn't enjoy. Someone who is able to spend 6 pages about the preparations for a photo shoot (how her make up, hair and clothes were) can't keep my interest. I'm really sorry. Needless to say that I didn't finish this book. -Now the book will continue its journey. It'll go to Sarana. -What a lovely and funny book! I've read it while spending the Easter weekend with my parents and I kept calling out to them "Ooo, did you know that..." and "You've got to hear this...". I had no idea that so much about The Nanny was based on Fran's own life. I loved her stories, especially the down-to-earth-ness of them, and the fact that she wasn't afraid to tell her silliest stories or show her most unflattering pictures... A very sympathetic woman, as far as you can tell through this book. -I'm shocked to read in Mirre's Journal Entry that she's divorced now, the way she describes her marriage it's hard to believe that it fell apart soon afterwards! -Thanks for ringing the book, E-mile! I'm PM'ing Nandaaah now. -Edit: I'm terribly sorry for the long delay, the book was mailed out today. -And the book has arrived, just started in another, so I'll probably start in this book somewhere in the next week. -I've finished the book today in the hot sun. It was an O.K. book to read. -Just as Arja, I didn't know she did this many other shows and films. And too bad she divorced, since her mariage seems good in the book, but unexpecting things can happen. The book will be off to the next reader as soon as I got an adress to send it to. -And I got the book now! Thanx Nandaaah for sending it and E-mile for ringing (?) it. I allready started in it because my last book was just finished. Fun to know that her parents and sister's names in the Nanny came out off real life. That Chester was her dog, I knew allready. I will try to finish it before the Castricum-meeting. -Gelukt! Geweldig van genoten! En nu The Nanny weer op tv is kijk ik toch met *iets* andere ogen. Bedankt voor het ringen E-mile. Ze komt morgen bij je terug. -"What I learned about myself, the depth of my relationships, and cancer -tests, treatment, recovery and follow-up- could fill a book. So here it is. -* back to E-mile. <-- Fran is back home!!!! -posted Fran today, so the ring can continue.. -Fran has arrived in Gouda! I'm looking forward to reading this book and am pleased to see it has pictures in it! Is has been a while since I read a book containing pictures. -Hi guys, perhaps you already know it, but since a few weeks there is another comedy on RTL4 on sunday afternoon with/about Fran!! I saw it for the first time last sunday and wanted to let you know that it's out there. -Na 'The Nanny' is Fran Drescher terug met een nieuwe komedie. In 'Living with Fran' is Fran een gescheiden vrouw die geniet van de nieuwe weg die haar leven is ingeslagen. Haar nieuwe liefde Riley is fantastisch, geweldig en jong, heel erg jong. Hun relatie is ingewikkeld vanwege het feit dat de kinderen van Fran bijna even oud zijn als hun nieuwe 'stiefvader'. Het nieuwe huishouden van Fran mag dan niet traditioneel zijn en soms heel lastig, toch weet ze zeker dat ze het niet anders zou willen doen. -'Living with Fran', vanaf zondag 11 juni, 17.00 - 17.30 uur, RTL 4. -Today Fran arrived at my doormat, together with 2(!) other books...Which makes the count of ringbooks that arrived here in 3 days: 7...I think I'll need to ask my boss for a reading leave-of-absense. -Anyway, although not all the stories were equally entertaining I enjoyed reading the book. It was really written in her voice, like Mirre said! -I can't wait to read the other book! -Thanks for re-opening the ring E-mile! -I'll send it to Yinny asap! -Found it in the mailbox yesterday! -Thank you, E-mile for sharing this book and Enitnaj for sending this book! -Yes, she is boasting about all the famous people she met, the people she knows, the clothes she wears, blablabla. But she does it so innocently, so charming, that it isn't (very) annoying. -This book is already on its way to the next reader. -The book is here! I'll start reading it right away, because the book I'm currently reading is not to my taste. -The book is badly damaged, I'll try to repair some of it. -I never watched the Nanny because I dislike sitcoms and canned laughter, but this book was neat. Miss Drecher sure has a lot of energy! -Thanks for the sweet card you left me in the book Yinny! I'll keep using it as a bookmark. -I'm mailing this book to Redfloor today. Happy reading! -Lag in mijn brievenbus. Ben heel erg benieuwd ernaar. Er zijn nog wel enkele boeken die eerst aan de beurt zijn. Dutch-flybabe, je hebt het keurig gerestaureerd! Dank ook voor de kaart. -Edit: Ere wie ere toekomt, Dutch-flybabe heeft het boekje gerestaureerd, niet Yinny. -Wat een leuk boek om te lezen. Allereerst door het formaat. Het is een lekker kleine pocket met kleine letters. Het paste makkelijk in mijn tas, zelfs als deze al vol zat. Daardoor kon ik doorlezen in de trein. Alle boeken zouden in dit formaat verkrijgbaar moeten zijn. -Daarnaast is het ook gewoon heel erg leuk om te lezen over het leven van een van mijn favoriete actrices. Heel grappig om te lezen dat haar eigen ouders ook Sylvia en Morty heten en dat er meer parallellen zijn. Fijn dat Fran uiteindelijk een succesvolle carriere heeft. Ik bekijk de Nanny nu met heel andere ogen. Ik ben benieuwd naar deel twee, al vermoed ik, gezien de inhoud, dat dat deel lang niet zo hilarisch zal zijn. -Haven't read it yet but will so very soon. Thanx for sending it Redfloor! -Fran is on her way to Jordanne. Have fun!! -I found it in my mailbox a few days ago! I think it'll be a quick read! -Thanks for ringing and sending it to me! -Op de post naar de volgende lezer! -Heb dit boek voordat ik op vakantie ging uitgelezen. Opzich leuk om te weten hoe de serie The Nanny er is gekomen en dat veel is gebaseerd op haar eigen ervaringen, maar dat idee van 'aan je hoofd zeuren' kreeg ik ook wel. Ik had het idee dat ik een verlengde versie van een verhaal over een ster in de Story of de Prive zat te lezen, eerlijk gezegd. -Het boek is vandaag aangekomen. -Het ziet er leuk uit, veel foto's. -Ik ga er gelijk in beginnen, was gisteren klaar met mijn vorige ringboek. -Dank je wel voor het opsturen en ringen! -i received the book today. -It looks like a fun and nice book, i like the photo's in it. -I am going to read it right now. -Thanks for sending it to me and thanks for this ring! -Interessant boek om te lezen, het word ook wel makkelijk gemaakt met de foto's die erin zitten van haar leven. -Wat het gelijk ook weer leuker maakt om te lezen. -It is an intersting book to read. -Also to see the photo's that are inside the book. -Erg leuk om te lezen!! Leuke foto's, leuke manier van schrijven!! -And Fran found her way back home again! Thanks for sending it, Bontekever! (btw: did you read the book? I haven't seen a journal entry of it....). -GAME of Thrones is all about eminent homes during crusade – however a white walkers competence really good be about to sleet disharmony down on a Seven Kingdoms like they’ve by no means seen progressing than. -Here is all it is advisable to know in regards to a walkers and their commander a Night time King as they seem means to cranky The Wall and attack Westeros. -The white walkers are at a impulse a largest risk traffic with Westeros – a lot larger than any polite crusade that competence really good be about to erupt. -They’re a competition of ice creatures who have been regarded as a things of fable progressing than they returned to Westeros within a initial ever stage of Recreation of Thrones – and have now been seen within a strength (?) by Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen. -White Walkers have superhuman energy and have powers per ice and cold that indicate their attainment is routinely accompanied by blizzards and extreme cold temperatures – that is since northerners contingency be aroused in regards to a lapse of a lot snow. -They’ll additionally revive a routine to act as their servants, and have ordered an huge troops of a lifeless, mostly famous as “wights”, to attack Westeros’ tellurian inhabitants. -Who’s a Night time King and a approach was he created? -Each troops wants a commander, and a Night time King is a arch of a white walkers’ troops of a lifeless. -He coordinates a walkers’ creates an try to attack The Wall and send south in instruction of Westeros, and is radically a many rarely effective among them. -However a Night time King’s existence didn’t come about naturally. -In deteriorate 6 of Recreation of Thrones, Bran Stark satisfied that a Youngsters of a Forest had combined a Night time King. -Throughout a talented and prophetic he beheld a chairman who grew to turn a Night time King tied adult towards a tree, and watched as one of many Youngsters pushed dragon potion into his coronary heart, branch his eyes a charge shining blue of a walkers. -The white walkers have been combined in a matching means in sequence that a Youngsters competence defense themselves from people, however a send backfired and a walkers grew to turn massively damaging in themselves. -There competence be during a impulse a massively select fan judgment that says that Bran Stark is really a Night time King. -A Reddit chairman has claimed his unthinkable powers and ability to tour again to prior occasions and ‘warg’ – inserting his essence in to a physique of a singular particular or quadruped – creates a conjecture viable. -Consumer turm0il26 claims that Bran both wargs into a tellurian who turns into a Night time King, or tries to kill a Youngsters of a Forest who emanate a zombie king. -Nonetheless, he finally ends adult branch into a Night time King as he has trafficked too distant again to jump again in to a stream day. -It is riveting things – and as Bran has left from lovable child to a self-satisfied penetrating trouble courage who refers to himself since a Three-Eyed Raven, it is essential that he would presumably make one MORE transformation. -May animals change into wights? May a dragon change into one? -Wights are a reanimated troops of a routine who do a white walkers’ bidding. -We have seen that a walkers’ horses should not home for a reason that commanders of a troops of a routine initial rode into view. -Whereas in deteriorate 7 part 6 there was additional confirmation that animals can be employed within a troops of a routine as a bear with a extraordinary blue eyes of a walkers and their troops attack Thoros of Myr. -Now a troops of a routine has change into scarier nonetheless after a Night time King reanimated Daenerys’ slain dragon Viserion – that means a chances of Jon Snow defeating a white walkers demeanour slimmer than ever. -According to Variety, one of the movies about the 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs is recasting one of its leads. No, not the serious one that HBO is doing with Elizabeth Banks and Paul Giamatti, and not the overtly comedic one that Will Ferrell is set to star in. It’s Battle Of The Sexes, the middle one that’s supposed to be a comedy with “dramatic and political overtones”—as we said in an earlier report. Battle Of The Sexes comes from Little Miss Sunshine’s Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, and it was set to star Emma Stone and Steve Carell as the eponymous sexes. Now, Stone has backed out due to “a scheduling conflict,” and the studio is reportedly in talks with Brie Larson to replace her. -Larson recently appeared in Room, a film that is not only making some waves in the film festival circuit but also has a name that’s very similar to a certain other movie, which could end up causing a reverse-Asylum by tricking people who want to see a bad movie into seeing a good movie. She’s also set to be in Kong: Skull Island and possibly the eventual Godzilla fight movie that it’s going to set up. -In the second book of the Harry Potter Series, “The Chamber of Secrets” by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter finds out that he can communicate with snakes using the Parseltongue language. -In this challenge we will write a Python script to translate English to Parseltongue and vice-versa. -To encode a message into Parseltongue you need to insert the string sequence “sss” between each character of your message. e.g. -I can speak to snakes using Parseltongue. -To decode a message from Parseltongue remove the “sss” character sequences by only keeping 1 character out of 4 from the encoded message. -Check the following code, which uses two subroutines (functions) called encode() and decode() to encode a message in Parseltongue or decode a message from Parseltongue. Both functions use a technique called string concatenation to add one letter at a time to the message or cypher being generated. -Did you know? Encoding and decoding secret messages is a key application of Computer Science called cryptography. An encoded message is called a cipher. -As a wizard at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, Harry Potter often needs to decipher secret messages. In this set of challenges you will write Python subroutines to encode or decode secret messages using a range of techniques. -The Parseltongue coding technique described above is not very secure. It would be easy for anyone to look at a cipher text and to be able to find a way to decipher it without being told how to in the first instance. -To make this encryption technique more secure we will adapt the encode() function implemented in the trinket above. Instead of adding the string “sss” after each character we will add three random letters. -By completing this challenge, we are going to learn how to use ASCII code when manipulating strings. -You will use the chr() and ord() python instructions to convert characters into ASCII code and vice versa. -print(chr(97)) would display the letter “a” on screen as 97 is the ASCII code for character “a”. -print(ord(“a”)) would display the 97 on screen as 97 is the ASCII code for character “a”. -Use this code to tweak the the encode() function. The decode() function should not need to be updated and should still work with this new encryption technique. -Test your code. Do you find the cipher text to be more secure? -Using this encryption techniques the cipher message is based on the actual message with the letters of the message appearing in reverse order. e.g. -Using this encryption technique, the same function can be used to both encode and decode a message. -Your task is to implement one function used to encode/decode a message, applying the “Reversi formula”. -Create two new functions to encode and decode two messages at the same time by intertwining each letter of these messages. Your encode() function will take two parameters, message1 and message2, and generate a cipher by intertwining each letter of both messages, one letter at a time. -In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as shift cipher, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the message to encrypt is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. -You will find out more about this technique by following this link. -Can you think of any other approach you could use to encrypt a message? You may combine several of the techniques listed above, as combining several techniques will make your cipher more difficult to decode hence it will be a lot more secure! -The city of Augusta is located in Georgia near the state's border with South Carolina. It plays host to the Masters Tournament, the most lauded tournament in professional golf. Augusta is known for the Masters, but there are several other fascinating sides to this city. Here are five things you never knew about Augusta, home of the Masters. -Augusta was Georgia’s capital briefly during the American Revolution and then again from 1785 until 1795. In 1788, the Georgia state convention ratified the U.S. Constitution in the city. Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the Constitution and the first in the Deep South. Augusta wasn’t chartered as a city until 1798, so it was actually Georgia’s capital city before officially becoming a city itself. -President Woodrow Wilson, who was in office from 1913 to 1921, was born in Virginia but grew up in Augusta. Born in 1856, Wilson lived in Augusta from 1858 to 1870. His father was the pastor of Augusta’s First Presbyterian Church and his family owned a beautiful manse on Seventh Street. Wilson spent the “formative years of his life” in the city. He lived in Augusta during the Civil War and the Reconstruction before going to college in North Carolina. Today, you can visit his boyhood home, which is a National Historic Landmark and the oldest Presidential residence in the state. Guided tours begin on the hour every Thursday through Saturday. -Augusta has been either the hometown or burial place of 10 Confederate generals — Brig. Gen. Edward P. Alexander, Maj. Gen. Ambrose R. Wright and Gen. Marcellus A. Stovall, among others. “When the South needed generals during the Civil War, it often turned to Augustans,” the Augusta Chronicle says. Today, you can see monuments all over the city that have been dedicated to these men. -The Masters wasn’t always called the Masters; the title didn’t come about until 1939. The tournament began in 1934 and was originally known as the Augusta National Invitational. That name didn’t sound quite prestigious enough, however — so in 1939, the name was changed to the Masters. -The first-in-flight brothers from North Carolina brought their airplanes to Georgia. The Wright Flying School was in business from 1910 to 1916. During that time, it taught 119 people to fly Wright airplanes. The main location of the school was in Alabama and then moved to Ohio. Trying to take advantage of the warm winters in the South, the Wrights also opened a seasonal facility in Augusta in 1911. It was run by Frank Coffyn, an aviator who was a member of the Wright Exhibition Team after the Wright brothers taught him to fly. -Sometimes it is the things you see every day which inspire you. A colour or texture catches your eye, and you're hooked. The itch starts, and you find you have to paint it. Whatever it might be. This happened for me a couple of years ago, when I was working with the lovely Vital Veg at Midmar. Every week I packed beautiful, colourful veg into veg bags for customers. Some of the veg came home with me. And some of that came with me to the weekly art class I was attending. -Another influence fed into this process. A few years ago, I attended a workshop with Sofia Perina-Miller, whose work I also greatly admire. She paints fabulous striking flowers, as well as many other subjects. She showed us how to paint directly onto paper, without doing any initial drawing. This was an entirely new experience for me - and I found that I loved the freedom of it! Instead of feeling constrained by the pencil lines, I was "free" to paint directly, loosely, using vibrant colours, which resulted in more lively work. Sofia usually adds meticulous pen and ink details to her work. I left mine as they were; as I may have mentioned before I have rather limited patience! -There is always a certain amount of fear involved in painting this way. I had to learn to be brave, to trust that the colours I was choosing and the marks I was making were strong and true and confident. This was no time for fiddling around with details and tentative marks. Before I started, I would look carefully at the veg, get a feel for the overall shape and size and proportions, the main colours, the shadows on the paper. Really look, and get a feel for it. It helped to stand up, to have everything I needed to hand and to just do it, quickly. I love this way of working; writing this makes me want to do some more of this kind of work. -Some of my veg paintings are available as digital downloads from my Etsy shop. -Various items (prints, mugs, phone covers, tote bags etc.) sporting my veg paintings can also be found on Redbubble. -I often make soup. At the organic veg farm where I work part-time, we take it in turns to bring a pot of soup to the veg shed on the day we pack veg bags for customers. One of the things I love about soup is that it is very forgiving. You can throw just about anything into it and it is usually pretty tasty and good. (The only exception seems to be kiwi fruit, which a friend reminded me of today - that did not turn out well. I do quite often put apple or pear in soup though, lends a lovely sweetness). Most of us who takes turns with the soup pot admit to making "bottom of the fridge" soup, with whatever is left and is maybe looking a little tired. Some celery, onion, a courgette, a bit of broccoli, the odd kale leaf and some carrots - add ham stock, a tin of chopped tomatoes and hey presto, it's minestrone! Minestrone is one of my favourites and yet I don't recall having it at home when I was a child. We had broth (not a favourite; I disliked the gloopy texture of the barley), and homemade tomato soup with lots of carrots and was it sago, perhaps, to thicken it? My favourite was cucumber soup, creamy and buttery and delicious. My dad loved consomme, hot or cold (brown meaty jelly with chopped chives on top). We had chicken soup too, made using a boiling fowl, with rice and leeks and chopped parsley from the garden to garnish it. We used to laugh at Mum, who would make soup from the peapods after the sweet garden peas had been shelled from them. "Is that grass soup?" we would ask. I quite often produce "green soup" of slightly dubious origins myself, these days, so I can now appreciate the greenness of her ways. -It's a real comfort food. And not just the eating of it, or supping of it, but the act of making it. I remember retreating to the kitchen of my mother-in-law's house the day after my father-in-law died very suddenly, over 25 years ago now. We went to stay with her, with our six month old son. To try to help; to organise the funeral, make endless cups of tea for people who came in to offer condolences; to try and make sense of it all. All I could do was make soup. I chopped and stirred and added stock. I left it to simmer, tasted it, ladled it into bowls for whoever wanted some. It seemed to help. It helped me, to feel I was providing comfort, of sorts. I think I maybe even baked. There was comfort in it for me too. Just the rhythm of washing and peeling and chopping, stirring and tasting and serving. Life going on, in some small way. -North Central Service Train No. 115 collided with the vehicle around 6:10 p.m. near Touhy Avenue and Mannheim Road, said Metra spokesman Michael Gillis. -The train struck the back portion of the car, dragging it and pushing it into a tree. -Two of the car's passengers were taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, while the other injured passenger was transported to Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, Gillis said. Their injuries do not appear to be life threatening. -No one on the train was hurt. -In China, the prevalence of tooth decay among 12-year-olds increased nearly 35 percent from 2005 to 2015. While most parents still believe that good dental hygiene means brushing teeth twice a day, dental professionals suggest that neglecting timely oral care after meals contributes to the problem. Wrigley’s Extra Sugar-Free Gum wanted to inspire Chinese parents to encourage their children to chew sugar-free gum after meals, which can help prevent tooth decay and improve oral health. -We tapped into Chinese school children’s daily lunch routines and created the first interactive lunchbox that encourages children to practice oral hygiene after meals — Extra Care Box. The care box used artwork that playfully changes with heat and reveals cartoon characters who work together to clean their teeth. This fun activation captures children’s attention and encourages them to open a built-in compartment and chew the sugar-free gum inside it after meals, a simple reminder that helps improve their daily oral hygiene — without interrupting their playtime. -Thanks to @Citi Foundation #ProgressMakers, Lesbia makes her career dream a reality! -When Lesbia was very young, her parents made a difficult decision. They wanted a better future for their family, so they moved from Central America to the U.S. to find it. -During that period, her parents were back and forth between the countries, and Lesbia rarely saw them. Six years later, she finally joined them on American soil. -When she started school, Lesbia couldn’t speak English. Other kids made fun of her name. She struggled. -But eventually, she learned to stop caring what other people thought. She realized that this new country held a wealth of opportunities. -As time went on and they worked to adjust to the U.S., other members of Lesbia’s family found Hispanic Unity of Florida (HUF). They referred her, and after obtaining a work permit, she was able to get temporary child care assistance at HUF. -HUF changed Lesbia’s life. She was supported by multiple HUF programs, including Income Support, Financial Literacy, and the Bridge Program, where she completed the Customer Service and Sales Training, as well as the Patient Care Technician EKG/Phlebotomy Training. She’s currently finishing a class in math at Sheridan Technical School, and has a bright future. -Thanks to HUF, Lesbia’s family will no longer live paycheck to paycheck, and she, her husband, and her children will live better lives. -The Bridge Program at Hispanic Unity opens up a world of opportunities! With the generous support of @Citi Foundation and the Community #ProgressMakers grant, program participants have access to tuition assistance for career pathways in high demand fields, including national certifications in Patient Care Technician (PCT) and Customer Service and Sales Training (CSST). -Thanks to @Citi Foundation #ProgressMakers, Marisol makes her dream a reality! -From Boston, to Puerto Rico, to Miami, Marisol has been following her American dream since birth. -Born in Boston, she spent several years in the historic city before her family relocated to Puerto Rico, where she grew up and attended school. -As an adult, Marisol made the difficult decision to move to Florida in search of a better future for her family. She sought more safety and security. Marisol was excited and deeply committed to grow and thrive in her new home! -Starting fresh presented numerous challenges, however. She struggled to find work while caring for her two beloved children. -Luckily, Marisol found Hispanic Unity of Florida. Her brother had participated in HUF’s Center for Working Families program and referred her. -Marisol took the many opportunities offered by HUF and ran with them. She received income support through gift cards, child care assistance, hurricane relief help, and affordable housing. She also entered the Bridge Program where she became certified through HUF’s Customer Service and Sales Representative (CSR) training. -Shortly thereafter, she was able to secure part-time employment. Marisol says that the training helped her be more in touch with clients and better understand their needs. -The hard-working mother wanted to take things further and thrive in a new career, so she completed HUF’s Patient Care Technician Program (PCT) at Sheridan Technical College – a highly specialized training with a focus on EKG and Phlebotomy. -Countless new opportunities are now available to Marisol, and she plans to move on into the Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) Program. Eventually, she’ll work in a private practice, and she credits HUF for helping her to empower herself and help ensure her family’s successful future. -The Urban Institute recently released a research report titled Upskilling the Immigrant Workforce to Meet Employer Demand for Skilled Workers. -The report takes a look at the whole US but supplements its findings through site visits and interviews with a variety of stakeholders in three metro areas, Seattle, Dallas and Miami-Fort Lauderdale. -Hispanic Unity of Florida (HUF) participated in the study and shared with the researchers our own insights into the work we do assisting immigrants who are both unemployed as well as, underemployed. -How many of us know that Broward County’s percentage of foreign-born residents is nearly 33% – or 3 out every 10 residents? -The implications are significant for our community. Our immigrant population is mostly first generation. And the needs of this population are different then communities where the immigrants are second or third generation or where the immigrants are English literate and highly educated. -Local communities with large foreign born residents must invest in foundational resources to assist these immigrants in their integration – which in turn – benefits the whole community. -At HUF where we serve immigrants from 30 different nations, our work is focused on English language instruction, education (for both parents and children), economic development (employment, small business creation, asset building, health and child care supports) and civic engagement. -This from the research report: This diversity within the immigrant workforce—with high numbers at both ends of the educational spectrum—is important context for our focus in this report on opportunities for immigrants employed in lower- and middle-skilled jobs. -At HUF, we simultaneously work with former professionals such as doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc. as well as individuals who never completed high school. This diversity within the immigrant community requires different approaches to the work community organizations such as HUF undertakes. For us, it means providing core services that are fundamental to all clients while providing “add-ons” such as information on how to have educational credentials certified for immigrants with college or advanced degrees. -“One out of every six workers in the US are immigrants.” The research report’s conclusions offers guidance for all our community’s stakeholders: state and local policy makers, workforce development service providers, funders and employers. Woven throughout the report are the community based organizations that are often at the frontlines of the work with immigrants. -South Florida is at full employment. Now is the time to support and address the needs of our whole community including communities of color and the immigrant community. -This article was originally published on June 6, 2018 on the UnidosUS website. -As of this posting, Florida is the only state in the nation to not have a federally approved accountability plan. -On April 20, 2018, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) submitted its revised Florida Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Plan to the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE). -Hispanic Unity of Florida is a member of a coalition of civil rights organizations that earlier this year during Florida’s Legislative Session, proposed legislation that would align Florida’s school accountability system with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the largest federal law governing K-12 education. Florida’s current system neglects to factor into its school grades the test scores of many English learner (EL) and Latino students, and fails to use a native language assessment when appropriate for the 10% of Florida’s K-12 students who are learning English. -Effective implementation of ESSA at the state and district level is key to ensuring that educators and ELs have the data and tools they need to become English proficient and academically successful as swiftly as possible. -Under ESSA, in exchange for federal funds, states must track and report the performance of subgroups of students—racial and ethnic minorities, those from low-income families, ELs, and those with disabilities—when assessing school performance. -Florida’s revised ESSA plan, however, sidesteps the intent of the federal law by bundling together the lowest-performing students regardless of subgroup. That means schools that are not meeting the needs of every subgroup can still get a passing grade, and parents are not aware. -The revised Florida plan creates the new “Federal Percent of Points Earned Index” (FPPEI) of which subgroup performance and an English Language Proficiency Indicator will be components. The fact that Florida created the FPPEI is a good sign that the state recognizes its obligation to align the state’s system with federal law. The FPPEI, a new section of a Florida school’s report card, in effect creates a parallel accountability system. The calculation of a school’s grade still does not take into account subgroup performance and English language proficiency. This decision is problematic, confusing and unnecessary. -What’s more, while the federal government urges states, when appropriate, to test students in their native language to better assess what they know—Florida chose not to meet this requirement, despite being home to one of the nation’s largest EL population. -A recent report by UnidosUS (formerly NCLR) study highlights that Florida educates the third-largest K–12 EL population in the nation. ELs make up 10% of Florida’s student population; nearly 290,000 students. The majority of ELs—75%—in the state speak Spanish. According to recent Florida state assessment results, double-digit gaps exist in graduation rates and academic achievement between ELs and their non–EL peers. -As a result of the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, it is estimated that Florida is now home to between 10,000 to 12,000 Puerto Rican students. While these students are American citizens, they also are predominately ELs. -For more information about ESSA and education issues impacting the Latino community, visit unidosus.org and UnidosUS’s education-focused website, Progress Report: Ensuring the Success of All Students. -Have conversations about ESSA with parents, teachers, principals, superintendents, candidates and state elected officials.

Iyan ang vision ni Mayor Marcy na i-institutionalize ang lahat ng city events. So naging tagni-tagni siya in tune with the overall direction, which is to give emphasis and importance to family, culture, heritage, shoes, and food,” Winnie Mariano, city events manager, said in an interview. -Among the highlights of the Sapatos Festival will be the shoe bazaar that will run from November 12 to January 6 at the Freedom Park, right across the Marikina City Hall. -Over 50 manufacturers from Marikina will be selling their products – shoes, bags, belts, wallets, and other accessories at attractive prices. -Marikina is best known as the Shoe Capital of the Philippines because it was here where the first pair of shoes was made in 1887, paving the way for the inception of a vibrant shoe industry known for its high quality craftsmanship, durability, and comfort. -Rehiyon, Rehiyon Festival, on the other hand, will honor those who came from other places in the country and settled in the city, becoming Marikeños in the process as they successfully assimilated with the locals and absorbed their tradition, culture, heritage, values and ways of life. -Lastly, the Christmas Festival, which started with the installation of Christmas lights and lanterns on the riverbank, streets, parks and other places in Marikina, will feature a concert comprised of local artists and bands and ending with a fireworks display will be held on December 30 at the Marikina Sports Center. -Check out the Italian Pasta Salad calories and how many carbs in Italian Pasta Salad.

So I started googling to see if there was any challenges already out there that did what I was looking for. A few that I found wasn't really what I was looking for. I wanted to also create all the rabbit hole lots along with the residential lots with out having to move into each house and leave other sims behind. I didn't want to have to repopulate the whole town with just my sim either so I decided to create my own. So here is what I have come up with so far. -I was requested to write down the rules for this challenge so here are the challenge rules! -Your sim has come from an over crowded town with lots of noise and pollution. They have traveled far away from any civilization and has settled here to start over from scratch. This area has no buildings, no houses and no residents. This is a great place for your sim to start over in life and build everything from scratch from the ground up. -Pick any world you like and go into Edit Town and delete every house and building. This includes any rabbit holes. -Pick your sim either by creating new or a preexisting one. -Your lifespan can be what ever you want, I suggest a long one. I'm using a fairy so I have a very long life span. -Your sim will not have a job to start out with so you will need to make money in other ways like fishing, searching for flowers or gems to sell. -Once your sim has some money you can do other things to make money as well like painting, photography, writing for example. -Once some job buildings are placed you can have your sim have a job along with previous mentions of money making activities. -Your sim can buy properties or become business owners to make money as well. -~When you build the house to rent, you don't need to build with your own money otherwise your sim will end up spending double the cost. Build the house then go in and have your sim rent it out. -~Once a residential lot has been created for a certain category, you can add to it later as long as it doesn't take it out of it's original category; for example: a starter home changing to a family home. -There can be NO residents living in the town until there is a house sufficient enough for them to live. -For example: must have fridge, toilet, bed and shower/tub along with all flooring and wallpapers in the home as well. -Once there is a place for a sim to move in, you can move any sim in you want or an immigrant can move in. No Immigrants are aloud to move into any empty lots so make sure they are all set to no visitors until a residential lot is built. -All community and residential lots must be built by your sim. -All Parks must be built by your sim. -All active job's that need a building need to be built by your sim. -Your sim can have any personal life you choose. Once there are residents living in your town, your sim can date, get married, have children or your sim can live alone for their entire life. However you choose. -Any community lot can be combined with another community lot. For example, a tattoo parlor can be built with a salon. More than two can be built together which comes in handy when your not working with very many lots in the world or it's a small island. If you do not have an expansion pack that has one of the requirement builds listed above that is okay. -You can only fail the challenge if one thing were to happen, your sim dies before the above requirements are met. -There is a possibility of any of these rules changing as I go along in my video series as I have not tested out this challenge. Any ideas or suggestions or if I missed anything in the rules are welcome! -Let me know how this challenge is going for you! -I started a game similar to this and had to place a few community lots and my town's main library has a city hall rabbit hole rug for editing the chances of alien abductions resulting in pregnancies.I placed skill requiremnents for aditional building and they also have to build their house first before any other buildings get built in edit town.I also did require lots for new families to have a mailbox,trash bin. wall section,burglar alarm,fire alarm,sleeping bags and laptop computers though cheap ones.The founders have to get a house built before winter arrives and survive their first winter before adding to their house and they also have to start growing plants on their lot before the second winter and new families could begin arriving the following year in late spring or early summer.I allow chess tables and martial arts equipment to start showing up after a second household is in town.Building is based on donations on community lots or taxes collected from incomes. -I made a change in the rules when it comes to building the house you want to rent out to your town. -Read the full report and discover why PTC’s PLM is the right solution for your organization. -With its comprehensive solution portfolio, PTC received strong ratings for its sophisticated technology platform, competitive differentiation strategy, application diversity, ease of deployment and use, and its overall customer impact.

The online version at http://www.herongyang.com/Service/ GetExchangeRate_WSDL_11_SOAP_11_RPC.wsdl gives me an access problem because the site does not like Perl HTTP client agent. -I used readable('true') to make the SOAP request XML message is nice format. -SOAP::Lite does allow you to make an RPC call through a WSDL document like a local method call: GetExchangeRate('USD', 'JPY', '2007-07-07'). -SOAP::Lite is smart to convert the RPC call into a SOAP request message. -SOAP::Lite is smart to provide type information xsi:type="..." to support message encoding. -SOAP::Lite is smart to pick up the return value from the SOAP response message. -SOAP::Lite is not smart to follow the parts="fromCurrencyPart toCurrencyPart datePart" specified in the WSDL document to order the parameters. It follows the original order of how these message parts were defined in the WSDL document. To correct the issue, you need to make the call like this: GetExchangeRate('2007-07-07', 'USD', 'JPY'). -Conclusion, SOAP::Lite 0.710 does not support the parts="..." of the "soap:body" WSDL statement. -He’s a funny little thing from Amanda Palmer. Be sure to play the video; it’s quite cute. Amusingly, I tried to find it on YouTube and it wouldn’t let me access it without an account because it had been flagged as “mature” by users. Really, what is so mature about this. It’s just a naked women. I really wish people would just get over it. Some neurotic person somewhere has a problem with the human body that affects the rest of us. I want to start flagging as offensive all those beer ads, car ads, makeup ads, and a million and one things that give a far more damaging message to children than this cute, funny video. -It's safe to say that the past two weeks have been the most difficult that Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and the Labour-led Government have faced. -Between the sexual assaults at a Young Labour summer camp, the entire Russia fiasco, Ron Mark melting down over defence force flights, Jenny Salesa's Ministerial spending, criticism that not enough was being down to help the Nelson and Tasman regions in their recovery from Cyclone Gita, the Green Party ambushing Labour by announcing they were gifting questions to National, and Shane Jones repeatedly shoving his foot in his mouth over Air New Zealand, there's a lot that's been going wrong lately. -The public relations triumph that was Ardern's Waitangi visit must seem like an age ago, while the successful Pacific Mission has completely vanished from view. -Despite all that, when the next round of political polling is released I don't expect to see any significant change from what we saw in February. I'd expect to see Labour in the mid to high 40s, National in the mid to low 40s, and the Greens and New Zealand First struggling to reach 5 per cent. -The main reason for this is that Ardern hasn't been personally responsible for many of the issues that have played out and, where she has, they've mostly been on things that I don't think are necessarily going to sway voters. That, combined with her personal popularity, will mean that while Ardern has burnt some political capital fighting fires, she still has a deep well of support to call on. -The Labour Party's seemingly terrible handling of the sexual assaults at the Waihi camp will reflect badly on Labour's General Secretary Andrew Kirton, but as Ardern was only briefly at the camp delivering a speech, and had nothing to do with its organisation or the events in question, I doubt any voters will hold her responsible for it. A test may come further down the line when Labour's own internal investigation is complete if it finds significant failings on the part of the party organisation and Ardern doesn't demand that someone takes personal responsibility, but that's hard to preempt given there's a lot of water to go under the bridge. -The Russia fiasco - Winston Peters' alternative facts on Russian interference with the US election and Russian involvement in the downing of MH17, the bizarre focus of Peters on a Russian free trade deal, and the ham-fisted attempt by the Government to first condemn the Salisbury attack without blaming Russia, then several days later finally managing to step into line with our allies and blame Russia, as well as Ardern's bungled attempts to spin away that foreign policy disaster - while a bad look generally for Ardern and Peters, isn't the type of issue that will sway votes, even if it has lead to some questioning within the beltway of Ardern's own judgement and Peters' motives. -What has been interesting is that the Russia saga played out over 11 days. If a day is a long time in politics, then 11 days is an eternity for an issue like this to run its initial course. There's possibly more to come in this space, which could start to erode voter confidence in the Government's foreign policy and security credentials. -Ron Mark's defence force flights and Jenny Salesa's ministerial spending are similarly both minor issues. In the bigger scheme of things both are relatively minor issues. While Mark hasn't handled the pressure being questioned about the flights put him under particularly well, Ardern did the requisite telling off of Salesa and unless it becomes a pattern of overspend, the matter will rest there. -One thing that will nag at Labour's recovery of support in the regions, at least in the top of the South Island, has been the Government's sluggish response to Cyclone Gita in Nelson and Tasman. It took nearly three weeks after Cyclone Gita hit New Zealand for the Government to announce any meaningful assistance for businesses cut off by the storm. And unlike the flooding in Edgecumbe, which prompted a Prime Ministerial visit from Bill English to see first hand what had unfolded, the residents of Takaka and the surrounding areas still haven't seen or heard from Ardern. -Not that anyone is suggesting a Prime Minister visiting is somehow going to magically undo the damage done by a given disaster, but it usually serves as both a way to boost morale in the affected communities, as well as to highlight the ongoing importance of the recovery to Government agencies to ensure they keep their efforts up. -The Green Party surprising everyone by gifting questions in Question Time to National has been an interesting issue to follow the reaction to. While it feeds the Opposition's narrative that not all is well and cozy on the Government benches, any consequential reaction to it seems to be more directed at the Green Party over it, both supportive of the move and in opposition to it. While headlines of the Greens doing a deal with National aren't helpful to Labour, it seems unlikely this will translate into the polls either. -Finally, there was Shane Jones' attack on Air New Zealand. It kicked off on Friday and didn't end until Ardern finally hauled Jones back into line during Question Time on Wednesday. Jones' comments caused some concern in both the beltway and business community, as did Ardern's initial backing of Jones. Outside of the beltway, Jones' comments will have played well. -Towards the end of the past two weeks Ardern was getting visibly frustrated with both media questioning and Opposition attacks. In part this will stem from this being the first time her Government has been hauled over the coals for a significant length of time. But no doubt a lot of her annoyance will come from the fact that most of the problems she's been having to deal with aren't ones that she's been responsible for, barring her poor handling of the Russia issue. -The rough patch is set to continue too. With the Select Committee submissions soon to be heard on the Electoral Integrity Amendment Bill, there will be a stream of negative headlines about the Government pushing that Bill through, as well as the Green Party's support for it. There's also lingering questions around Winston Peters' infatuation with Putin's Russia. -It shouldn't escape anyone's notice that New Zealand First, who are struggling badly in polls, have been the source of three of the issues that have dogged the Government in the past two weeks. Shane Jones' comments are perhaps the most interesting in this regard, as they point towards New Zealand First taking a much more vocal stand on issues that might not always sit well with the responsibilities and requirements of occupying the Government benches. -The good news for Labour is that with Easter fast approaching, and beyond that the beginning of pre-Budget announcements, the Government does have an opportunity to start setting the news agenda rather than reacting to it. -Dig and Rig Equipment Dedicated to the HDD industry and those within it.

At North it shares borders with Thessaly, at West with Western Greece and at South with Attica. It is surrounded by the Aegean Sea and the Gulf of Evia at the east and by the Corinthian Gulf at the South. -The Region has a population of 546.870 inhabitants, corresponding to 5.07% of the total population of the country. The 33% of the population in Sterea Ellada is urban, concentrated mainly in the departments of Euvoia (210.210 inhabitants) and Fthiotitda (158.220 inhabitants), the 15% is semi-urban and the 52% is rural. -Sterea Ellada occupies a total area of 15,549 sq. km., corresponding to 11,8% of the total area of Greece and consists of 735,8 million hectares of mountain area, 497,1 million hectares of semi-mountainous area and 322,2 million hectares of lowland area. The two main islands of the Region, Evia and Skyros, are pole of tourist attraction. -Sterea Ellada is the industrial centre of Greece, nevertheless it has rural areas too. It is worth noting that only 3% of the total area is residential. The main mountainous area of Sterea Ellada is formed around its centre. Forests cover the 25% of the total regional area, while 2% is covered by water. The cultivated areas of the region occupy the 26% of total area, while the 43% is used in farming activities. The Region is rich in special and rare ecosystems; 18 special environmental sites of the Region are being protected according to the NATURA 2000 framework, while there are 3 Special Protection Areas. Sterea Ellada is famous for its world-renown hot springs and spa. -Τhe share of the population that is economically active is 33%, from of which 9,4 % works in the primary sector, 51,5% in the secondary sector and 42,1 % in the tertiary sector. The unemployment rate accounts for the 16,1% of the population and lies slightly above the national average. Immigration flows have importantly affected the demography of the region, as the immigrants’ share in the composition of the regional population accounts for 8%, one of the highest in Greece. -Due to favorable conditions and because of its proximity to Attiki, the Region of Sterea Ellada has emerged as one of the industrial centres of Greece with important industrial and manufacturing activities, accounting for the 46% of the regional GDP. Moreover, activites related to the tertiary sector account for the 43% of the regional GDP and gravitate mostly real estate and public services. The tourism sector, on the other hand, counts up only for the 4,4% of the regional GDP and is less developed than the national average, however, it has great potential for further growth due to the region’s natural hot springs and spa (Kamena Vourla, Edipsos), archaeological sites and geographic location. -The agricultural sector counts up only for the 8% percent of the regional GDP% and is estimated to be subject of further decline in the future. Rural activities concentrate in the production of olive oil, wheat, fruits and vegetables, as well as in the breeding of livestock. Numerous agricultural products of the Region have been enlisted in the Protected Designation Origin EU scheme, such as, the Olives of Stylida, Konservolia of Amfissa and Atalanti, Katiki Domokou (goat cheese), Formaela (goat cheese),Fistiki of Ftiotida and Dry Figs of Kimi. The Region interconnects North and South Greece, not only geographically, but also with major infrastructure and motorways. It is crossed by the main road and rail axes in Greece, also included in the wider European Network of Transports. The transport network of the Sterea Ellada is supported by small regional ports, straits and marinas, yet of low capacity but with potential of further development. Moreover, the location of Sterea Ellada in the centre of Greece provides great potential for the development of a strong transportation network. -Uppsala University, founded in 1477, is the oldest university in Sweden and all Nordic countries.

This determines intensive research regarding ethiology, pathogenesis, immune reactivity, epidemiological characteristics, laboratory diagnostics, treatment and prophylactics of bacterial and viral infections (including nosocomial) and parasitic invasions. NCIPD is the only non-tertiary institution in the country that is accredited since 1999 by the National Agency for Assessment and Accreditation Agency (NEAA) Council of Ministers as a university in the field of infectology with rights to train students and conduct postgraduate training in epidemiology, microbiology, virology, parasitology and immunology and allergy. Long tradition is annually organized dozens of training courses for specialists from home and abroad with several hundred participants. -In NCIPD are all National Reference Laboratory (NRL) in various bacterial, viral and parasitic infections, united in so Laboratory test Complex (LTC), which is only for now in our country accredited by the Bulgarian Accreditation Service (BAS) in 2003 under the European requirements of standard BS ISO EN 17025 for high quality work. 1998 NRL are under constant international external laboratory control of the German accreditation system Instand. NCIPD by national reference laboratories from 1998 held a national external laboratory quality control of laboratory diagnostics performed by all microbiology, virology and parasitology laboratories in the country, with a successful result enables them to conclude contracts with the NHIF. -2007 NCIPD was declared a Collaborating Centre of the World Health Organization (WHO) of the United Nations on epidemiological surveillance of communicable diseases and antibiotic resistance with the task of responding to these trends and training of personnel for the countries of South East Europe and Asian countries former USSR. In 2007, the National Inspectorate was set by the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) in Stockholm as a leading responsible national organization etc. "National competent body" in the field of infectious and parasitic diseases. NCIPD, together with the Ministry of Health, performs daily broad anti-epidemic and organizational -metodichna work with highly skilled and expert advice, specialized laboratory diagnostics, organization of workshops, seminars, etc., The issue of specialized scientific and applied scientific journals as Infectology, Problems of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, newsletter and other informational and educational materials. -In NCIPD is performed laboratory and production activities of several original biological preparations for the needs of our healthcare and export: allergenic products for the diagnosis and immunotherapy of allergic diseases, monoclonal antibodies to determine the blood group substances and lymphocyte markers and preparations for the diagnosis of parasitic invasions. They are produced under conditions of Good Practice has been manufactured according to requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia and standard ISO 9001/9000. NCIPD carried out extensive international cooperation in research activities, postgraduate education and anti-surveillance of communicable diseases with WHO, ETSKZ, the Global Fund at the United Nations, European Union programs Phare, Copernicus, Interreg, Tempus, NATO and a number of foreign universities and institutes on a bilateral or multilateral basis. -All exposed convincingly shows the very important and responsible position that occupies NCIPD in national and international health systems and fully corresponds to the motto adopted and implemented daily by its employees: "In the name of science - for the good of the people." NCIPD is the oldest scientific-practical institute in the field of healthcare in Bulgaria. Created in 1881, immediately after the Liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule, it was the beginning of the modern fight against infectious and parasitic diseases in the country on the basis of the latest achievements of world science. Contributes significantly in this regard the construction and equipment of this building NCIPD with financial support from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1932-1935. Passed more than 125 years of development, won over the years large national and international reputation NCIPD today is a major national unit in the field of health collaborators who develop the scientific foundations and methodological approaches for successful control of communicable diseases - their ethion-pathogenesis , epidemiology, laboratory diagnostics, immunotherapy and specific and non-specific immunization, according to the latest achievements of science and requirements of the WHO and the European Union. -In this regard they have contributed very long tradition, continuity, broad international contacts and many good laboratory facilities in NCIPD, as well as high requirements for specialists working in it. All this makes today NCIPD very authoritative and respected national and international research and applied research institution. Special mention should be made of complex, multidisciplinary approach to solve all scientific and practical problems and tasks in the fight against infectious and parasitic diseases based on close cooperation of specialists from different fields: epidemiologists, microbiologists, virologists, parasitologists, immunologists, chemists, biochemists, veterinarians and others working in the National Inspectorate, which is a guarantee of success. -Production of certain biological products for the diagnosis, treatment and immunization. -I was watching TV with Devin the other day and we were watching some of the filler programing between shows on PBS.

If you really think about the scope of your business, you probably have more intellectual property than you first thought. List your most important IP assets, and ask yourself two questions. First, do I have sufficient protections in place, given the value of this IP? Second, how much am I willing to spend to defend this IP? If a competitor should infringe on your intellectual property rights, you will want to react quickly to avoid potential losses and to collect compensation for any financial damage that may have already occurred. At the same time, you need to take a cost-effective approach to protecting your IP, considering the financial investment and future revenue at stake. -No longer is it necessary for one to key-in a password of letters and numbers in order to gain access to computers, smartphones, or other electronically-secured information. The use of one’s facial features, fingerprints, and even their iris for electronic security purposes is becoming more common, yet concerns pertaining to personal privacy and use of stored information is now facing legal challenges. -More and more companies recognize the value of using the Internet to grow and strengthen their business. Whether for communications, marketing, e-commerce, research, or other purposes, online activity among employees and customers has expanded exponentially. However, with this growth comes the increased threat to information moving along or stored by electronic means. -Hand-held devices have taken on an increased presence among business operations throughout a variety of industries. From tracking inventory to recording important statistics and other real-time data, the threat to the information stored on these devices is no less real. This may complicate matters for cyber professionals charged with protecting intellectual property. -Consider using a buying agent.

Since the first episode of the series, Annalise has taken a liking to Wes and no one knows why. Is Wes Annalise's son? Is Annalise attracted to Wes? A lot of theories have been thrown out into the ring. On Thursday's episode of HTGAWM, Annalise told Eve "it's him" when speaking about Wes, so basically I'm taking that as a big thumbs up on the mother/son relationship, even though that seems too easy for a show this convoluted. -During an intimate scene between Eve and Annalise, who go way back, Eve questions why Annalise is protecting Wes, who is just a student. Annalise tells Eve that Wes is not just some student. "It's him," Annalise tells Eve, who immediately knows what she's talking about. You know who doesn't know what she's talking about? Me. And everyone else in this world who is too emotionally and mentally invested in this god forsaken show. -Eve tells Annalise that she is a very good person, making it seem like whatever secret correlation Wes and Annalise have has caused distress on Annalise. So all signs point to Wes being Annalise's son. But, how does that fit into Wes' life timeline? We know that Wes had a rough start as a kid. He didn't have a father in his life and his mother killed herself when he was a young teen, but what if Annalise's connection to Wes comes before all of that? -One Reddit user believes that Annalise could be Wes' biological mother, but gave him up for adoption as a baby because she got pregnant at a high point in her career where she didn't want to take care of a baby. Now, she brought him back into her life the only way Annalise Keating knows how (manipulation, power, etc.) and is finally being the mother figure she never got to be for him. It's a stretch, but it's also possible with the few clues we have been given. -My only concern with the mother theory is that it almost seems too easy. For a while, people have been speculating that Wes and Annalise are related. Hell, I think one of the other students made a joke about it at one point. Because of this, I'm not sure if the producers would write in such an expected storyline. They're so good at steering their viewers one way with bait, and then switching directions at the last second. What if we are only on the bait part, and we're still waiting for the switch? -Please Take a few minutes and contact us by filling out the form below to so we can get your next one of a kind custom guided fishing Expedition started!! -A Group of more than 2 anglers may require additional Guides.

Alternating between hot and cold with one sock halfway off I am dreaming and tossing about, waking occasionally to feebly reach for water or a lymphatic tincture. -It’s a fever dream, and I’m giving my body space to heal itself. After getting the un-fabulous advice, at a party, that “sudafed and benadryl are good for sinus infections” I find myself musing on what we—mothers, healers, our culture–have given up. If we pop a sudafed-tm-every time we fall ill we are denying ourselves the opportunity to build our OWN knowledge about the human body. This fever is giving me information about myself. It is giving me words and phrases, showing me my fears and my strengths. -I believe that it is part of life to fall ill, to feel our blood ice up and our brain catch fire. How else can we know what is possible? How can sudafed teach us what healing means? -And every time I hear folks ask me what they can do to avoid illness I tell them that illness is an opportunity. Some of my favorite healers are seekers who see illness as a learning experience. Our wisdom is hard-won and comes from hands-on experience which sometimes gets messy. Illness teaches us how to support healing, how to get out of the way of healing, and puts the knowledge and the feeling into our own hands, puts the power into us. Popping wal-mart echinacea pills every day is a suppressive technique. Taking unnecessary medications (natural or pharmaceutical) to suppress symptoms is not “healing”. -I find my best healing comes from movement. Moving the lymphatics, moving mucous, moving stuck energy, activating digestion. Allowing the fever to do its’ job inside of us. -Because all of life is a learning opportunity. Hot weather is an opportunity to feel hot. Cold weather is an opportunity to feel cold. Discomfort is a gift which gives us the chance to learn what tools we have, as humans, to help ourselves and to support our bodies’ natural processes. We are so eager to dry humidity and make ice less slippery that we never understand what humidity feels like, or what slippery really means. We do not KNOW hot or cold. We do not SEEK to know. -The way that we are giving our own power away harms us, and our children too. It rewards people and corporations who will give us comfort at any cost. Those who can learn to accept some basic discomfort as a normal part of life will be prepared for whatever may happen. Allowing our children to feel a fever’s heat and chills is a gift which teaches them not to fear their bodies. -It is my wish to ride my fever like a surfer, accepting the fear, facing the mortality of my body. Because more so than those without fear, it is those who feel the fear then do it anyway who build power and wisdom. Neither sudafed nor benadryl will give a speck of wisdom or empowerment to us, and they will never teach us about our bodies capacity to heal itself. -NOTE: this was scriblled on my bedsite notebook during a fever. if that is what YOU consider “medical advice”, fine. however, it should be clear that i do NOT intend this to be medical advice!!!!!!!! -NICE nice article! Loving it, sharing it. Have felt the same many a time and would throw out aspirins adults gave me when I was young. Had an innate distrust for numbing physical sensations. -Ride the wave, learn the wave, be the wave. -This is the naamyaa directory listing for Barclays in Skelmanthorpe.

However, this study involved in domestic cats is the largest of its kind so far. -The group of 38 cats coming from mixed breeds, ages and genders were kept at a center in France, where they were free to do whatever they preferred outdoors all year round. -With a microchip on their collar, the cats were able to get as much food as they needed from a dispenser, which would be opened just the group of cats. Simultaneously, such microchip could make a record how much food the cat had taken and when it did. -As Dr Alex German from the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom, explained in the paper paper published in the latest edition of PLoS ONE, like many humans, cats are likely to have comfort eating in the cold weather outside. -However, from their study, Dr Alex German and his team found the main reason for that is the extra energy cats needed to maintain warmness when they were outside for outdoor activities. In addition, Dr German’s team also confirmed that cats ate about 15 per cent less food during summer. -In his conclusion, Dr Alex German stated that the swing in activity levels during the year might be closely linked with the extra effort to maintain warmness in winter and the temptation to rest during hot days in summer. -So it is suggested that the amount of food the cats take at different times of year should carefully considered by their keepers, because it is important to allow cats to have a healthy weight. -Hey Puppy, Please Get Along with That Kitty! -There is a huge potential for energy saving in the life support systems (LSS). For comparison, in industrial systems the potential savings range between 30% and 40%. In the aquarium world, dealing with a delicate organic process in which parameters can change, good results should also be expected. A large amount of the energy is consumed by pumps. Therefore a first logical step for energy saving lies in determining the pumps duty point(s). Pumps are the backbone of the aquarium, creating the needed water movement in the exhibits and feeding the LSS. The pumps’ delivery head must be enough to over-come all resistance losses caused by pipe work, appendages, protein skimmer, sand filters and so on. During pump selection safety margins are added in ensure that flow required in the design is realised. Nowadays, for getting flexibility in pump performance and to avoid throttling of the system, the use of variable frequency drive (VFD) is widely used. However, the use of VFD can have unexpected effects on the LSS system. When pumps deviates more to the right of their Best Efficiency Point (BEP), the grade of efficiency can decrease and Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) will diminish, giving way to higher risks of vibration (including cavitation) and noise. Then, mechanical pump load will increase, speeding up the maintenance frequency, causing more down time of the LSS which will have an impact on the controllability of the LSS. In addition, pipe work and its components will face more mechanical impact, increasing the risk of cracking pipes, giving way to failures like super-saturation. -There are a number of factors to consider when planning a new aquarium facility. One of the most important factors to consider is how will aquarium seawater will be supplied? Most inland facilities are obligated to make their own saltwater, but facilities located adjacent to natural seawater sources must evaluate collecting a continuous source of water. A source of good quality natural seawater can have a long term impact on operational cost as well as provide benefits to animal health. Important aspects to consider in the planning for a seawater intake for an aquarium facility are as follows: Where will the intake be located? The geographical location of the intake impacts the overall water quality that the intake will deliver. Things to consider include land based activities or industries, maritime traffic and freshwater intrusion sources such as natural stream beds or high capacity storm drains. Local and seasonal currents as well as tidal swings will also have an impact on the seawater intake location. What type of intake would be appropriate for the facility? There are number of different ways to intake seawater for use at an aquarium facility. This includes sea floor pipelines, pier based pump stations, land based pump stations, seawater wells and rainy collectors. Different methods and examples of facilities using similar methods will be discussed. Logistics, capital costs and long term operational costs all play a role in the method selected. What is the water quality of the source water? Is it suitable for use in the Aquarium facility? The seawater quality for any intake will vary by season and by day depending on a number of different things. Seasonal water quality samples can help the decision making process in regard to suitability and the treatment regime required. Water bodies that are high in pollutants may not be acceptable for use in the aquarium, forcing a seaside facility to manufacture seawater or obtain good quality seawater in other ways such as by truck or barge. Regulatory requirements will impact both the seawater intake and the discharge facilities. Local regulatory agency requirements vary from location to location and fall under the umbrella of national regulations as well. Discharge regulations focus on water quality parameters such as concentrations of oxidants, suspended solids, BOD and bacteria counts. At times discharge water quality parameters are lower than the water quality that you may see at the seawater intake itself. Chloride limits by local sewer agencies can also come into play in facility planning. -During a recent renovation, the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Center (VAMSC) installed a District Energy System or DES for short. VAMSC is one of only a few institutions in British Columbia to integrate such an innovative system to manage energy use. VAMSC follows LEED and ISO 14001 construction practices and in 2015 was awarded the Green Award by AZA in part due to the implementation of the District Energy System. The DES is a site wide low grade energy loop that extracts or rejects energy through a variety of sources. Heat producing equipment such as chillers and food service refrigeration reject heat in to the loop through liquid cooled condensers. Isolated water and glycol systems are circulated using variable speed pumps to move energy around the system. Heat is extracted through heat exchangers to warm habitats, galleries and coils in local HVAC air handlers. Cooling is accomplished in the same way using the cold side of the system. Temperatures in the loop are maintained in a specified range using seawater heat exchangers, boilers, heat pumps and a cooling tower. Planning is underway to install a geothermal field to store excess heat produced in warmer months for use in the winter. The net effect is that heating and cooling costs can be reduced since it requires much less energy to redistribute the energy than it would to produce it at multiple points of use. -Life support system instrumentation indicates equipment function, but it is water quality parameters that indicate equipment efficacy and resource allocation that indicates equipment efficiency. Equipment parameters—pressure, flow, water level, etc.—can be operating within “design specifications”, yet water quality parameters (e.g., nutrients, alkalinity, pH) can be unsuitable for aquatic life and/or excess resources (e.g., water, energy, labor) must be expended to normalize the environment. In the past, available technologies were not able to address the demands of a healthy closed aquarium habitat without eventual recourse to substantial water exchanges to normalize the environment. This situation no longer prevails. Dissolved contaminants can now be physically removed from solution by ozone-assisted foam fractionation, a widely accepted industry standard in the modern era. Nitrite accumulation can be managed with recently-developed and user-friendly denitrification technologies. Phosphates can be controlled with modern water treatment tools and pH decline can be addressed via well-designed gas exchangers to ameliorate CO2 accumulation from animal and bacterial respiration, and the degradation of wastes and uneaten food. Given these relatively recent advances, it is clear that water quality challenges in a modern aquarium have their root causes tied to incomplete life support system design and/or inappropriate system operation. By ensuring that life support systems are well designed and operated appropriately, optimal water quality can result and excess resource expenditure can be avoided, consistent with the conservation and fiscal priorities for the modern zoo and aquarium. -Pressured by the rapid pace of climate change and ocean acidification, aquariums are feeling an increased urgency to provide a message of conservation and sustainability to their visitors. Research shows that people are more receptive to this message when presented with concrete evidence of how their actions can create positive change. As such, aquariums have a stronger incentive than ever to lead by example, reducing their demands for energy and freshwater. Traditional aquarium life support systems have been very energy and freshwater use intensive, primarily due to pump energy, heating and cooling demands and use of water for backwashing of filters. Such systems can easily account for more than 50% of the energy and water use of a facility. But opportunities to reduce energy and water use with such systems are minimal without unacceptable reductions in water quality. However, innovative system design alternatives are being included in new aquariums and renovations. These incorporate drum filtration, which can drastically reduce energy and water use over traditional pressurized filtration systems. Additional strategies, such as integration of life support heating and cooling into energy efficient building mechanical systems introduce the potential for further energy reductions. Such systems are most effective when system elements are arranged so that gravity flow replaces a significant amount of pumping. While capital costs of such systems may be somewhat higher than traditional systems, life cycle cost analysis can be used to demonstrate that substantial energy and water savings and reduced equipment maintenance and replacement costs can easily offset the initial cost premium of such a system. By pushing the design of our future facilities, aquariums can lead by example as they strive to increase the impact of conservation education on their visitors. -Health authorities in New Zealand said that about 200 passengers on the Dawn Princess ship became infected with the norovirus. -The ship was scheduled to leave for Australia on Monday. The last time there was a norovirus outbreak on the ship was back in 2012. -According to Yahoo, health officials conducted a series of tests, and they confirmed that the illness was norovirus, but the outbreak does seem to be going away. -The norovirus usually lasts for one to three days, and those infected may experience stomach pains, vomiting, diarrhea and nausea. -Princess Cruises released a statement saying that those who were infected were isolated in their cabins. They remained there until they were considered not contagious. The statement continued to say that crew members disinfected door handles, railings, elevator buttons and so forth. -The cruise operator also said that passengers were encouraged to wash their hands properly and that they should use sanitizing gels. -About a month ago, another cruise ship, the Crown Princess, had an outbreak of the norovirus. In that incident more than 150 crew members and passengers came down with the norovirus. That ship was also operated by Princess Cruises. -What’s wrong with this sentence?

Consumer belief in a carrier can be fragile and mishaps involving customer service or safety concerns have been known to swiftly tarnish years of goodwill and trust. Though businesses in any industry must be careful with their image, perceptions regarding air travel heavily influence the graphic and web design trends in aviation. Airline carriers their customers to see them as modern, forward moving, and focused on safety and comfort. This objective drove the recent rebranding of several airlines. Even airlines seeking to stand out, do so in similar ways. In this blog, we’ll pinpoint a few examples and summarize the latest trends. -You’ve seen it. In recent years many airlines redesigned their logos with bold, sleek typefaces and simple logos as part of their rebranding efforts. They chose elements to speak directly to the consumer. Think about it–nobody wants to ride in a plane from the 1950’s. Bold, sleek letters say, “We’re modern, and we get you to your destination with modern comforts.” Two of the industry leaders, United and Delta, recently adopted bold, all-caps typefaces to reflect the strength and power of their fleet. Airline carriers around the world are rolling out more simplistic logos. Too many details can over complicate a message, and hearken back to the days where companies carried plaques garnished with every facet of their identity. It is much more practical to drop the busy details and buff the important elements. Not only does this freshen up the look and feel of a brand, but it is much cheaper to paint an airplane using simpler shapes and a smaller color pallet. In fact, the latest trend for aircraft signage design, also known as livery design, includes simplification of a basic visual element of the brand. Paint adds weight to a plane and drives up fuel expenses. Therefore, most airlines fly predominately white planes. The wordmark of the logo is usually placed on the fuselage near the nose of the plane, seated above the windows. This is one of the best positions for visual balance without having to address distortion caused by windows. To compensate for lack of variance from competitors, the tails of the planes are increasingly decorative and colorful. Pops of bright colors often adorn wing tips or plane engines. The decorative airplane tails have in turn influenced another trend. Many logos have evolved to take the shape of airplane tails, including those of Quantas, Iberia, and Swiss International Air Lines. This decision allows for easy translation to the plane’s overall signage design. Unfortunately, competitors can easily replicate this design choice, resulting in some brands straying away from this trend to remain distinct. The similarity of font, logo, and livery design treatments drives many airlines to embrace more creative elements to garner attention. One trend involves using bright, attractive pops of color. Spirit’s boisterous yellow, Latam’s energetic violet, and Southwest’s flashy striping all say the same thing: “Please look at me, not the guys in blue and red. We’re different. We’re better.” This is often paired with a marketing angle such as a more enjoyable experience, cheaper prices, or shared culture. Another shift among the smaller, regional, trend-setting carriers is to express their playful differences by adding rounded corners to their wordmark, or using more stylistic fonts that carry a more contemporary feel. -Almost every airline website opens the same way: a few menu options along the top, a high-resolution photograph of a travel destination, and a form inside the image. The form usually has tabbed options that include booking a flight, checking-in, or checking a flight status. Sometimes these elements appear with statements in large font promoting current offers or discounts. Presenting the user with one to three immediate options acknowledges airline customers’ priorities, and provides the fastest path to common customer goals. A strong trend in web design is constructing responsive, mobile-first layouts. The big players in aviation seem to buck this trend in favor of creating separate mobile sites that completely restructure the user’s experience. Of course, airlines keep consistent branding across these platforms, but they drop a large portion of the content shown on the desktop site to streamline the mobile version. These mobile pages cater exclusively to check-ins, status updates, viewing frequent flier mileage, etc. Some airlines even encourage the user to ditch the web browser and download their custom app. Another notable airline web design trend is a return to modular design. Modular web design uses card-like elements that function to organize information into digestible chunks. Airlines create focal points by highlighting elements with different colored backgrounds, larger fonts, and distinctive shapes. Modular web design enjoyed a rebirth following the release of the “material design” standards from Google. Google defines material design as a “visual language for users that synthesizes the classic principles of good design with the innovation and possibility of technology and science.” While many airlines have not adopted the material design standards in full, many of the over-arching themes are apparent: bold colors, flat web elements, and the re-emergence of tasteful, realistic drop shadows. -Spirit recently unveiled a hand-drawn logo with “sketchy” design elements that speak to the company’s low fare, no frills air travel service and its back-to-basics branding. Although executed nicely, “sketchy” is not often a word people want to associate with an air carrier. Some consumers expressed disinterest in flying Spirit because of these design choices. Though individuality is important to fold into any brand, it can be risky for an airline to separate themselves too far from the pack. With safety and comfort as a minimum requirement of consumers, along with the need to make air travel as simple and streamlined as much as possible, it could be risky to reinvent the wheel. Many graphic designers agree that sleek, modern design with just a touch of flair will be trendy in aviation for a long time to come.

But they don’t quite have to worry about dirty diapers and sleepless nights just yet. For now, they’re enjoying their time together as expectant parents of the newest Kardashian gal. Part of that is getting a first look at their little one, and they’re letting us in on the fun as well — in fact, Rob and Chyna have shared the first sonogram of their baby girl. How can a black and white profile possibly be so cute?! -The first little babe for 29-year-old Rob and second for 28-year-old Chyna (who is already mom to little King Cairo, who she had with ex and possible future brother-in-law, Tyga), the newest Kardashian looks like she’ll be arriving very soon. -Posting the pic to Instagram, Rob added the caption, “Can’t wait to meet my beautiful baby girl !! @blacchyna … looking forward to that bond more than anything.” Rob has recently spoken about the bond he shared with his own father and from the sounds of things, he’s already forming a similar love with his own child. -We can’t wait to meet you, either, baby Kardashian! -How did you react to seeing your (or your friend’s / family member’s) first sonogram? Tweet us @BritandCo! -The anti-alcohol folks are pushing for stronger and mandatory warnings on drinks about the dangers of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. -Baddock argues attempts by the alcohol industry to promote measures to reduce FASD have been ineffective and rather seek to debate the evidence. -The NZMA submission urges decision-makers to be aware of, and pre-empt, industry counter-arguments to public health measures such as mandatory labelling. -Baddock says a standard alcohol industry tactic has been to cite lack of evidence as a reason not to do something, which has been used by others such as the tobacco industry to "thwart and delay" public health measures like plain packaging. -"It's not just alcohol. I think any industry tends to be resistant to anything mandatory that might affect their sales." -However, she is hopeful the alcohol industry will "come on board" with mandatory pregnancy warnings. -"I would love to see the alcohol industry put up their hand and say FASD is a real problem and we need to be helping reduce the harms done [by alcohol]." -Traditionally, the status quo has some weight. Those proposing changes to the status quo have to provide some evidence that the change will be beneficial - that the gains will exceed the costs. In areas where evidence on gains and harms is hard to come by, we can look to international evidence - or run trials. -It is a bit odd to pre-emptively say (my paraphrase): "Hey, we don't have any evidence that our policy proposal will do any good. We ran some focus groups suggesting that people don't pay much notice to current labels, but we have no particularly good reason to expect that mandatory labeling will change real-world behaviour in the cohort we should be worried about. But anybody pointing out the absence of evidence - we're going to pre-emptively say that they're industry shills." -Another fun bit - the anti-alcohol people worry that messages like 'it's safest not to drink while pregnant' might strengthen beliefs that light drinking in pregnancy is harmless. -Here's Emily Oster on that. She included a nice section on alcohol in her review of all of the evidence on the dos and don'ts during pregnancy. -There exists no large (or even small) randomized trial about drinking during pregnancy; such a thing is never likely to exist. This is not unique to drinking, of course – there are no large randomized trials of Tylenol usage in pregnancy, either, just a lot of large observational studies. And some women will read the existing evidence and still choose to abstain. But there is a growing body of data suggesting that, if women choose to have a glass of wine, there is no evidence they are harming their baby. -Telling women that an occasional glass of wine is more harmful to their baby than heroin or cocaine is misleading and may also be potentially dangerous. It surely would not be supported by the vast majority of the medical establishment. Focusing on punishing and shaming women who choose to have an occasional glass of wine during their pregnancy also takes away important focus from helping women who are struggling with truly problematic drinking and the social problems that often come with it. -So they're worried that people might draw the correct conclusion from the labeling - that heavy drinking during pregnancy is a very very bad idea, but a glass of wine every other day is going to be fine. -Again - the anti-alcohol people will not be happy until they have incrementally gotten us to alcohol plain packaging. It's salami-slice tactics, exactly the same as used in the push against tobacco, incrementally piling on restrictions until the only thing allowed on the packaging is warning labels and small-print indication of the manufacturer. -Calisthenics based functional fitness studio, MultiFit offers strength based training with the correct form of gym workout. The startup venture has plans to spread presence in the Indian market. -The Indian fitness industry is going through a massive change. As the average Indian is travelling the world, they’ve turned more conscious of newer ways and approaches to remain in shape and bringing new business ideas to the Indian market. In the past 5 years, the fitness levels of Indians has lifted massively and still the experts consider it as the tip of the iceberg, which means, the avenue of opportunities is tremendous. -Realising the same, 4 times Everest base camp trekked, an advance level diver- Samir Kapoor has turned his passion for fitness into a new health revolution- MultiFit. -Based on the firm belief that fitness should extend beyond dumbbells and machines, MultiFit is one of the few gyms in the country that focus on functional training. It challenges the conventional gym imagery by abandoning traditional equipment and narrow goals, instead using simple tools like ropes and tires improve one's performance at everyday activities. The brand was established by Samir Kapoor as a way to bring a fresh perspective to health. -Share the business DNA of MultiFit. What is its USP? -‘The Soul of our gym is in our trainers’. We are a calisthenics based functional fitness studio and focus more on strength based training with the correct form. We believe in Continuous Varied Intensive Training. We understand one needs to balance in Bodybuilding. We focus not only on weights but also on a good cardiovascular endurance along with flexibility agility, power and strength. Most managers at MultiFit have been certified by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) giving them enough knowledge to shed light on the importance of functional fitness and the best way to practice fitness thus resulting into staying fit. -What is the current scenario of fitness industry and among the top fitness brand, where do you position MultiFit and why? -MultiFit as a brand focuses on movement rather than exercise. Our philosophy is a fine blend of traditional values and the modern, showcasing fitness in the most interesting way possible. We want to familiarise the audience with the new techniques of fitness which can be followed in daily movements of the body. We are India’s first Calisthenics based gym – Calisthenics are body weight exercises consisting of gross motor movements that help in improving one’s balance, agility, co-ordination and strength. We definitely are on the right path providing scientific knowledge to our patrons about every exercise which they do so understanding of the fitness art becomes easier. -Define the growing competition in Indian fitness industry as per your experience of a relatively new player and how did you strategize to overcome this growing competition. -Sometimes being small and nimble in an evolving or rather sunrise industry is a blessing in disguise. Being new we are not basking in past glory neither do we believe we know it all. We believe that fitness industry needs some new players to come in and take the game to the next level. We take training very seriously along with breaking the stereotype of a conventional gym and adding a fun element in every workout which is taken. -What are your views on the Indian fitness industry? Is it still challenging to convince or motivate Indian consumers to hit the gym? If yes, how do you overcome challenges pertaining to consumer behaviour? -India, as a country has developed in terms of thinking and adopting new values yet staying true to its tradition. Hence, when it comes to gyming, Indians don’t mind ditching the old fashioned machines and giving a rest to monotonous workouts. An aware Indian knows that traditional gyms don’t work, unless you make it interesting and challenging. This is what keeps the patrons engaged and motivated to take out time from their busy schedules and hit the gym. Another addition to motivating people is Athletics based training which is another type of training that gets people addicted to working out. -What are the biggest opportunities existing in Indian Fitness Industry? How is it a beneficial area of investment for start-ups or aspiring entrepreneurs? -With very few organized players in the space it’s a big opportunity for startups who have the right vision and the right team. This industry is growing at a neck break speed and is slated to grow 25 fold in the next 5 years. According to a joint study by FICCI and PWC, the Indian wellness industry will touch Rs 1 trillion in 2016. With EBITDA numbers north of 50 per cent it’s the right space for players with passion and dedication to make a change. -Do you franchise? If No, why? Also, if you do, please share the terms and eligibility to select a franchisee. -We have a very unique franchise model. The franchise is only the finance partner. The Gym is run by MultiFit this includes hiring, training and Sales. Also one of the key criteria we look at is the entrepreneurs interest in training. Every single employee has to work with us for at least a month before he is shifted to a franchise. So we ensure that the DNA of the gym stays the same. -Suggest tips for the entrepreneurs who are taking or willing to take franchise of MultiFit. -One needs to remember “The Soul of Our Gym is in our trainers”. People are your assets and you need to work with them to make them successful. If people out there are passionate enough in contributing to the fitness industry, next stop – MultiFit. We believe we will be changing the face of fitness. -Is it a boot strapped venture or you raised funds from the market? -This is a 100 per cent self-funded venture. -What’s the current geographical presence of MultiFit? Why not entered in northern region as yet? Or if you did, why not expanding aggressively? -We want to reach out to places where there is a dearth of fitness. We want to provide fitness where it is absolutely needed. -At the moment, we already have 2 Centres in North India Jaipur and Gurgaon and we are planning more in the near future. -What are your expansion plans? Any new outlet to open in near future? Which potential area in Indian market is still untouched and why? -We plan to have 30 branches by Dec 2017. Karadi (Pune) and Gurgaon are two clubs going live in the next fortnight. The new markets in India being Bangalore, Indore, Mumbai and two tier II cities. -India as a country is a completely untapped market. 99 per cent of the country is Untapped. Currently 60per cent of India’s population is under 30 years of age and it’s growing steadily at 8per cent p.a. Out of 80 million middle class households, 55 million (69 per cent) reside in tier II and tier III cities which accounts for 70per cent of total consumption in India. This is the Real India with new dreams, aspirations, wants, and needs. The future of health and fitness is immense and will be driven by this emerging new India. -Do you feel rapidly growing fitness aggregators of FitTech are big threats to entrepreneurs like you who are most dominating the market through physical presence? -Not at all, I think they are only creating more awareness of the Industry and will only be helping players like ours.

The destination was in Chile, but the weather was not so bad even when the plane touched the sky from Uruguay. After that, the jet jumped heavily in the air, when it was calm to hit the hill and hit it in the other side, many of the 40 people had died in the death country and the rest of them were busy playing the last game with sure death. One of them was Petro Alguta. The crowd of dead bodies lay down all around. There are many human bodies in the same way that they are covered in rice. They did not even die, have survived. But nobody knows how long it can be possible to survive in the cold. Petro's the same condition. The next passenger was dead soon. Petro has gone out of the broken door by removing the dead bodies, along with a few others. -In the question what would happen, a passenger suddenly lit torch of light, He said, "Do not worry, the news of the crash of the plane has reached Chile, from where the rescue team came. After several days have passed, no one is seen. Meanwhile, a few more people have died in the blaze. Then a few young people survived but then he fought with death, but again, how did this situation go away? Meanwhile, the coolness of the cold is rising, the cutting of the wind is blowing like a carrot but no one has left the cold, no one will survive, but death is sure. Meanwhile, the man's food and the last tension of the water quickly burnt down in the face. No one can survive the end of the meal. Without food, it is impossible to survive in this cold if there is no magic. Meanwhile, Petro looked at a glimpse of the clock and 13 days had passed but no one else was seen. -They are forgetting the rest of the world, so no one is coming to save them. Then everyone decides to live if they have to eat and if there is no food then dead friends are the only hope. The first was vomited, most of the people then started eating meat of man like a madman, and then they started eating meat. Petro's fate was a friend's cut hand and thighs. Petro was biting his bite. On the day that the people became angry they became a monster. About 25 years after that terrible experience, Petro wrote a book named in to the Mountain. He gave a detailed account of that time. He wrote today and when I look at that day, if I did not do that work then maybe I could not see today's day. -Think of what a terrible experience is that a group of civilized man eats their Fellow traveler to save lives. In fact, the people who were killed were not forced to eat meat in the day that they were killed, but see that many people are alive today because of the dead people. Petro Alguata is one of them. Petro said from her own experience that on the day nobody was thinking that they were eating meat but everyone thought that friends had saved them even after. Thus, after a whole 72 days, finally a rescue team comes; they come alive to 16 people. These 16 people, who were living under that mountain, ice, and humankind, were the miracles. All of the dead did not die in the crash; many were killed due to severe cold and lack of food. It is also said that there are murders in order to survive because all the people suspected that due to food, there was a condition in the absence of food that anyone could wait for the dead body. When there is a high level of food, it is also common to kill any living person and it has happened to food. Based on this incident, in 1993, a movie, named Alive, was built. -NACD was established over 70 years ago in 1946 by a group of forward-thinking conservation district officials from across the country.

Chatterson said: “Bilateral relations have blossomed over the last 50 years, grounded in our strong political and economic partnership and cooperation." -"With more than 50 years of diplomatic relations between Canada and South Korea, a free trade agreement is the natural next step in a dynamic relationship between two nations committed to economic growth and development through free trade,” the Canadian envoy said. -"I am very pleased to see more increasing partnerships with Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Korea like tonight's event, hoping continuing friendship between the two countries and for the CanCham members to enjoy good food and wine during the function all the time," he added. -After Amb.

Even though we’ve removed the collection from the Collection Library, there are still ways to identify and keep computers patched. -It’s been nearly a year since the mass hysteria after WannaCrypt and its nasty host of friends hit newsstands. If you need a refresher, we previously posted about this vulnerability here. -First, maintaining the collections each month takes up valuable resources and time. These would be better put to use making PDQ Deploy and PDQ Inventory even more powerful than they already are—not that we’re biased or anything. -Second, you are already patched for the WannaCrypt vulnerability if you’ve been regularly applying Microsoft Windows Updates to your machines. Microsoft released the patches for the MS17-10 vulnerability a year ago in March of 2017, with a few exceptions (looking at you, Windows XP). For more information, refer to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010 – Critical. -Many of you have been using the WannaCrypt Patch (MS17-10) collection to determine whether any machines on your network are vulnerable. If you currently have any collections, schedules, reports, or other references pointing to the WannaCrypt collection, you will need to update those to prevent incorrect or accidental deployments. I’m going to walk you through an easy way to stay current. -The Windows Updates collections in the PDQ Inventory Collection Library identify which computers do not have the most current cumulative update or monthly rollup. Remember, the most recent Windows Updates include the WannaCrypt patches, as well as the patches to mitigate other vulnerabilities. -We recommend using these collections along with PDQ Deploy to automate Windows patch management. Our products are designed to work together to automatically deploy updates to the computers that need it; a true set-it-and-forget-it. -If this is the first time you’re hearing about Auto Download packages, take a look at all of our Auto Download videos. -We recommend downloading two Windows Update packages from the Package Library; one for testing and another for production. This allows you to deploy the most current Windows updates to a pilot group of computers (perhaps belonging to your IT colleagues) to ensure that the update doesn’t break any of your end-users’ critical applications. -Open the package and add to the name for identification purposes (optional). -Change the approval setting to Immediate (Package Properties > Options tab). -The second Windows update package will be for the rest of your environment. -Using a Manual approval setting will allow you sufficient time for testing to ensure the Windows Updates don’t make it out to any end-users until after testing is complete. However, if you know the amount of time the testing will take, you can select a set number of days with the Automatic approval setting. -Download a second Windows update package. -(Optional) Add identification to the package name. -Now that you have two identical packages with different approval settings, you just need to set up a schedule. The schedule won’t deploy the new versions of packages until after approval. -Here is a video that walks you through establishing a schedule. -To ensure these packages deploy to computers that need the update, you can link to the PDQ Inventory Windows Update collections we discussed earlier. -Once you’ve created the schedules, the test package will be approved immediately after the update is released and deployed. You can then approve the production package for mass deployment to the rest of the organization once you are reassured no critical applications are affected. -With this setup, the newest version of the Windows Update packages will auto download each month, and the scheduled deployment will only go out to the computers missing the update as defined in PDQ Inventory. -I found an interesting article here. -The article itself is pretty cut and dry, a bunch of butthurt dumb asses complaining to their superiors. What’s interesting is the response their superiors gave. Which I have the pleasure of showing you. -This is in response to the New Year’s Eve hack of the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association website by Anonymous, a loose knit band of cyber experts who have gained access to other law enforcement association sites including PORAC and many other international corporations. -Thats the first paragraph now let me narrow down the interesting part. -Remember when they used to call us a bunch of teenagers that have a bit of motivation but can’t do anything? -To think how much they change their tones, they now know the truth. -3rd March 2015 - A new UN report on the global drug situation has highlighted the widening rift between countries on the issue of the death penalty for drug offences. These tensions are set to surface as Member States convene in Vienna next week at the annual meeting of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the UN policy making body on drug control issues. -The Annual Report of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), released today, calls upon States that ‘continue to impose the death penalty for drug-related offences to consider abolishing the death penalty for such offences’. -The statement comes just a week before the annual meeting of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the UN policy making body on drug control issues, and underscores an issue that has become increasingly volatile among members of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs in recent years. Indeed, attempts to craft a joint resolution on drugs at last year’s meeting nearly fell apart amidst heated debates between Member States on including language against the death penalty. -The death penalty for drugs looks to again be a major point of contention at the 2015 Commission meeting next week. A recent spate of executions in Indonesia has turned the world’s attention to the practice, with the killings of Dutch and Brazilian nationals prompting those governments to recall their Ambassadors from Jakarta. It remains to be seen how these diplomatic tensions will influence the States’ relations during the Commission meeting. -But it is not just Indonesia’s actions that are bringing these tensions to the fore. A number of other countries have demonstrated a renewed enthusiasm for executing drug offenders over the past year: Iran has escalated drug related hangings, Pakistan has resumed executions and Oman has proposed to introduce capital punishment for drug crimes. A protest to end the use of the death penalty for drugs will take place outside UN headquarters in Vienna during the Commission meeting. -The statement from the INCB -- a body of independent experts that monitors the implementation of the international drug control treaties -- reinforces a similar call the group made one year ago, which added its voice to those of other UN authorities, including the Secretary-General, the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), who have called for ending the death penalty for drug offences. -Ironically, although the UNODC has publicly spoken out against the death penalty for drug offences, the agency has been linked to funding aggressive anti-trafficking operations in several death penalty States, and a number of donor governments have publicly acknowledged the link between UNODC counter-narcotics funding and death sentences. In recent years the United Kingdom, Denmark and Ireland all resolved to end funding UNODC programmes in certain countries while the death penalty is still enforced. -“The death penalty for drug offences represents the sharp end of the world’s failed war on drugs, disproportionately punishing the vulnerable while failing to tackle entrenched forces of crime and corruption. We welcome the growing number of UN bodies willing to condemn this unjust and ineffective punishment, but these positive sentiments must be backed by effective action if we are to stem the rising tide of states seeking to put drug offenders to death. -A side event organised during the Commission meeting by the NGOs Reprieve, Harm Reduction International and the International Drug Policy Consortium will specifically examine links between international and UN aid and death sentences and executions for drug offences. -Why Many Businesses Choose to Incorporate in Nevada. -Nevada is a very attractive option for businesses choosing to incorporate. Here are a list of the top reasons to consider it even if your business is not based in Nevada. -Nevada Protects the Corporate Veil. -Nevada offers it’s corporations great protection for its board of directors, even if you are the only member on the board and own all of the shares. In the last 24 years the Nevada courts have only allowed the corporate veil to be pierced twice, and both were for outright fraud cases. In comparison, one out of very two cases in California. -Nevada does not exchange information with the IRS. -The only other state to do this is Texas. Keep in mind that if you must register your corporation in another state, the state laws there will apply. -Currently the filing fees with Nevada are $125. -Nevada offers protection of Board of Directors from shareholder lawsuits. -The shareholders must prove gross negligence in order to find the Board of Directors liable. And to prove gross negligence is to pierce the corporate veil in Nevada. -In Nevada, you must only have a legal purpose to form a corporation or LLC. -Meaning, a person could form a Nevada LLC to hold personal assets. It is not required that the LLC have a business purpose to form. -There is no joint and several liabilities. -This means that if a judgment is entered against several defendants, they will each assume equal liability for the full amount of the judgment, regardless of their relative fault in causing the problem. In Nevada, courts are required to assign a percentage of faults to each defendant. And each defendant is only liable for their percentage. -One person can hold all of the corporate positions. -Nevada Protects the Board of Directors and Officers. -In 1987, Nevada passed a law permitting corporations to place their own provisions in their Articles of Incorporation that can eliminate the personal liablity of the officers and directors to the stockholders. Furthermore, this provision is automatic in Nevada. -Members are not required to be listed in state records. -Stockholders, directors, and officers are not required to be US citizens or live or hold meetings in Nevada. -Next post: Why Incorporate Your Business. -Bitcoin is a currency, used to exchange goods and services.

New. No box. Condition 10. -Everyone likes to be liked. This is a simple, human truth: As mammals, we are driven by a desire to bond with others, feel accepted, and be acknowledged for a job well done. In fact, research from the University of Iowa shows that feeling accepted is more motivating than even financial incentives and improves our productivity and performance. But there’s a difference between wanting and needing others’ approval. -If, for example, you find yourself obsessing over the number of “likes” you get on social media or forever waiting for your supervisor or coworkers to notice that you’ve done something well, you might be caught in a toxic cycle of approval addiction. -Approval addiction is a constant need for acceptance and approval that drives your daily actions to the detriment of your own needs, says Lynn Taylor, author of Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior & Thrive in Your Job. -Approval addicts usually wind up worn out and disappointed, adds psychologist Linda Sapadin, author of Master Your Fears: How to Triumph Over Your Worries and Get On With Your Life. They spend so much energy seeking positive feedback that they have less energy to take care of themselves or work toward their meaningful goals. And, Taylor says, constantly seeking approval can cause people to become workaholics, suffer health problems, and make choices that result in less-than-ideal consequences. -The first step is to build awareness and adjust your priorities accordingly. To begin, ask yourself some tough questions. What are your primary goals? What do you want to do? Then evaluate how you spend your time: Are you neglecting your dreams by doing too much for others? With this awareness, you can deliberately choose activities that support your own needs, Taylor says, and step out of the people-pleasing cycle. -Use the insights gleaned from your personal audit to establish some ground rules and boundaries for yourself. Spend more time on the things that leave you feeling positive and focused on your dreams, needs, and values. Say “yes” to the tasks and activities that align with those goals—and don’t be afraid to say, “No, but thanks for thinking of me,” to those that don’t, Sapadin adds. These guidelines will help you manage your time and energy in a way that leaves plenty left over to help others if you choose. -“If your objective is to set your own standards and appreciate your accomplishments and self-worth, you can be 100 percent successful,” Sapadin says. “You can set realistic goals and monitor them based on your own criteria.” And that goes a long way to building not only a sense of self-worth, but a sense of self-efficacy (the belief that you are capable of solving a task or problem), resilience, and even purpose. You can have that right now—and you don’t need anyone’s approval to get it. -Polly Campbell has been speaking and writing about psychology, resilience, and wellness topics for more than 20 years.

You really do have to clean your house before the cleaning lady arrives.) I would have happily paid her $100 for four hours worth of work, but she rejected me and my money. Furthermore, she cost herself a customer because I will never again call her and offer her work. -I am mortified and mystified that my kitchen and bathroom were deemed too big of a job for one person to handle in four hours. -That’s nutty! I could clean my whole house in four hours if I really put my mind to it–BY MYSELF! Sheesh…sounds like you found a cleaning lady that’s SPOILED! -I wonder what her house looks like – my aunt was a cleaning lady, and although her clients’ homes were spotless, hers has always been in a bit of chaos. -Most of the cleaning people around here require this same “first time” fee. Our house was, quite literally, brand new when we hired a cleaning lady. It had been built just two weeks before we moved in. Still, nearly everyone we interviewed also wanted a first clean fee….If you have the time to look around, you can probably find someone who won’t charge it. We eventually did, though ours really, geuinely didn’t require it. -you are too funny! and while i realize that children totally send our lives into disarray, i also know you…neat as a pin. -i am so sure she couldn’t clean your kitchen and bathroom! ridiculous lady! -I just hired a cleaning lady and your story was my worst fear. So, before she came by to give us an estimate, I felt like I had to CLEAN my house for the cleaning lady. How warped is that? -Ours did charge us about $30 more for the first visit, where they do a deep clean. I can understand that though as things like my windows and blinds have rarely been cleaned and I won’t even go into my lighting fixtures. When you don’t have a maid there are just things you don’t find time to do (at least I don’t). -It sounds like this maid might have been a little high-maintenance though. Maybe you can find another who isn’t so picky. When I walked around with my new one and told her I’d make sure the kids toys were picked up, she kind of chuckled like she was thinking that’s not necessary…so who knows what they expect really! -I’ve never heard of such a thing. And no way would I ever consider seeing how much it would be to clean MY house! Yikes! -wow… that is super lame! -Remind me never to hire a cleaning lady! -I clean houses for a living. I do not charge extra the first time I go. It is easier and I get it done faster if people just pick up any clutter that may be around. Since I don’t live there, i would not know where it goes to put it away. That is the only thing I like people to do before I clean, otherwise they are doing my job, and what is the point? I usually clean 2 bathrooms, kitchen, family room, dining room, bedrooms in three or four hours. Three hours, I charge 50.00, 4 hours is 70.00. I do extra stuff all the time, like windows, blinds, I have cleaned basements, moved furniture, power washed outside patios, you name it. LOL I have loyal customers, and I am good to them back. -People are LAZY. They want something for nothing. I used to clean houses for a living. I enjoyed it most of the time. $100 for cleaning a kitchen, dining room and what did you say, a bathroom? I can’t remember. I could have cleaned your whole home for $100 and four hours, give or take a few minutes. People really are lazy I tell you. -And whoever said that her aunt cleaned houses and hers was a wreck – I knew a girl like that. She was a sloppy cleaner too. I on the other hand had a neat and tidy home until I had baby number 3. And it goes downhill from there on many a day now. -OMG! I could get my daughter to clean it for less. -I hate cleaning ladies. There is no end to the trouble they have caused me. Go Mel! Good job for cleaning your own stuff. -egads! One would have thought she could have at least TRIED! -I’m hoping Karen (above) lives in Oklahoma City. I could use her! -I want someone to pick up the clutter. -That doesn’t take much time at all. -Oh, why do I love clutter so much? -That seems like a mighty high hourly rate for a cleaning lady. Mine charges $13/hour. Two of them come and clean my large house with 4 bathrooms in 2 1/2 hours. $65 for clean house. Best investment ever made. -I’m with Judy…I love clutter too much, too, tho it drives me crazy. I once was a cleaning lady, when my kids were little and in school. I cleaned the houses of several people in my church whenever I was needed…part-time and not every week, but the extra $50 came in handy when it was time to buy shoes for the kids or whatever. Boy, even without ‘snooping’, it’s amazing what you learn about other people’s lives. But one thing I was was discreet and I never talked about anything I saw or learned in anyone’s home. People trusted me, and word-of-mouth kept me busy. I cleaned houses without a speck of dust in them…I cleaned absolute MESSES! All in a day’s work. Back then, we ladies charged $10 per hour…I can’t imagine what the going rate is now. -A cleaning lady who wouldn’t clean? she’s in the wrong business! I have a great cleaning lady, she comes every 3 weeks. She’s reasonable, she’s good and trustworthy. The good ones ARE out there. -I’m Lisa, btw, I found my way over from Kellans. -Keep looking- not all cleaning ladies are this way. My mom cleans houses and has a very loyal customer base, they actually do what they can just to keep her. She is purely word of mouth and has more people calling than she can keep up with. She will do a first time walk through and discuss what they want done, what she can get done in that time and a set amount and what day works. She requires them to declutter and be out of the house when she comes- people get in the way and slow her down. Most people like this because it helps keep them organized and not fall behind week to week. She is efficient, picky and knows her stuff. She will tell people what kind of cleaning supplies work best, they purchase that kind. She has even been asked to pick out someones new vacuum- she likes that because she’s used so many different ones that she knows which work best and which have no suction…..anyways, hope your search goes better. -Karen, would you consider relocating to Nebraska? lol My house is a disaster. Between having a chronic illness and a full time job – my house is a disaster. I feel like I can’t afford a cleaning lady. Besides the clutter in place would choke a horse! -LOL I have helped pick out one of my customers new vacuums as well. Somebody mentoned nobody would to clean their house because it was an older farm house, yesterday I cleaned a farm house that is close to 100 years old. They have three dogs running around. LOL They are good people and I love cleaning for them. Good cleaning help is hard to find, but we are out there! I have become friends with all of the people I clean for. Also Mel, I cannot imagine walking into somebody’s house and not even attempting to clean it. That is rude, and very unprofessional. She could have at least tried to do as much as she could in that time period. Sorry you had such a bad experience. -about Atonement – haven’t seen the movie, but the book was great! -Ladyada speaking at Women 2.0 – @women2 #w2pitch MAKER: “LIFE AFTER PROTOTYPE” « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers! -Women 2.0 – Ladyada speaking at Women 2.0 – MAKER: “LIFE AFTER PROTOTYPE”. -Alice Brooks (Co-Founder, Roominate), Debbie Sterling (Founder & CEO, GoldieBlox), Limor Fried (Founder & CEO, Adafruit Industries), Liz Ormesher Salcedo (Founder & CEO, Everpurse) – moderated by Lora Kolodny (Writer, Wall Street Journal). -A new generation of consumer electronics entrepreneurs reveal how they started tech companies that deliver more than bits and bytes.

The agency expects to roll out the next round of the program in 2021, after a two-year gap period. -VGM encourages providers to use real examples in their comments. -“Providing real examples of patients who suppliers serve can effectively demonstrate the need to keep this product category out of the competitive bidding program,” VGM stated. -• This market serves a highly vulnerable patient population with life-sustaining equipment. -• Vent patients require highly skilled respiratory therapists beyond the average oxygen patient. -• Ventilation is a small market with few suppliers in certain areas having proper resources. -• The negative impacts from competitive bidding on the DME community should not be replicated to life-sustaining equipment such as vents. -CMS will accept comments on its proposal until Dec. 3. Send comments to DMEPOS@cms.hhs.gov. -Our consultation on draft standards and service specifications closed on Monday 8 December, and we’ve received more than 500 responses, which are currently being analysed. We will say more about the next steps, and likely timetable, in the new year. Thank you to everyone who has responded. -The next meeting of our Patients and Public engagement and advisory group is scheduled for 14 January. -If you’ve followed the blog you will know all about the children and young people’s events we ran over the Easter holidays, and our session with local government and Healthwatch in Birmingham.

The meetings looked at the next steps in the process, potential handover to NHS England’s new specialised commissioning team, and commissioning issues. Minutes of the Programme Board will be published as soon as they are available. Previous Programme Board minutes can be found on the ‘Programme Board’ page. -The next meeting of our Programme Board is scheduled for 13th January. -The Task & Finish Group has provided a routine update to NHS England’s main Board for its meeting held in public on 17 December in London. You can read the Board paper here. -The consultation on draft standards tends to dominate the headlines, but work has continued on the review’s other objectives. Objective 5 aims to establish a system for the provision of information about the performance of CHD services, to help patients make informed choices and to give valuable feedback to NHS England as the commissioner of the service. We have visited a number of hospitals in order to understand the current information they are providing and what further information could be used. We are also meeting members of our Patient and Public engagement and advisory group to identify what further information they would find helpful. We have been looking at a number of different issues including activity, cost, and various outcomes such as mortality and patient experience. The discussions to-date have highlighted important areas of information which could be developed. Following these initial meetings a report will be produced explaining what we have heard and how we propose to progress the work. -As we move into 2015 I’d like to express my thanks on behalf of the team to all of you who have continued to contribute in so many ways over the past year. Your support, challenge, expert input and constructive criticism have been invaluable. -Have a happy new year, and stay warm! -An example method involves providing, with a network management module of a network management system, current reroute statistics in a data structure based on the rerouting of the data from a logical circuit that has failed to a logical failover circuit in the network. The current reroute statistics include a committed information rate corresponding to the logical circuit in the network. The logical circuit is identified by a first logical circuit identifier. The logical failover circuit is identified by a second logical circuit identifier. The first and second logical circuit identifiers are renamed until the logical circuit has been restored from failure. Updated reroute statistics are provided, with the network management module, based on a change in a status of the logical circuit resulting from the committed information rate having been exceeded. -This patent arises from a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser.

No. 7,460,468, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. -This patent is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/348,077, entitled “Method and System for Obtaining Logical Performance Data for a Circuit in a Data Network,” filed Jan. 21, 2003, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/348,592, entitled “Method and System for Provisioning and Maintaining a Circuit in a Data Network,” filed Jan. 21, 2003. This patent is also related to U.S. patent application Ser.

No. 10/745,170, entitled “Method And System For Automatically Identifying A Logical Circuit Failure In A Data Network,” filed on Dec. 23, 2003, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/744,921, entitled “Method And System For Automatically Rerouting Logical Circuit Data In A Data Network,” filed Dec. 23, 2003. All of the above-referenced applications are expressly incorporated herein by reference. -Periodically, failures may occur to the trunk circuits or the NNIs of network circuits in large-scale networks causing lost data. Currently, such network circuit failures are handled by dispatching technicians on each end of the network circuit (i.e., in each LATA) in response to a reported failure. The technicians manually access a logical element module to troubleshoot the logical circuit portion of the network circuit. The logical element module communicates with the switches in the data network and provides the technician with the status of the logical connections which make up the logical circuit. Once the technician determines the status of a logical connection at one end of a logical circuit (e.g., the host end), the technician then must access a network database to determine the location of the other end of the logical circuit so that its status may also be ascertained. If the technician determines the logical circuit is operating properly, the technician then accesses a physical element module to troubleshoot the physical circuit portion of the network circuit to determine the cause of the failure and then repair it. If, while troubleshooting a network circuit, the technician determines that a network circuit will be “down” (i.e., losing data) for an extended time period, the technician may manually reroute the data from a failed network circuit to an available unused or “backup” network circuit while the failed network circuit is being repaired. -As discussed briefly above, the network management module 176 may be configured to automatically reroute logical circuit data from a failed logical circuit to a logical failover circuit in the data network 2. During the reroute of logical circuit data, the network management module 176 may also be configured to rename the logical circuit identifier assigned to a failed logical circuit to the logical circuit identifier assigned to a corresponding logical failover circuit until the failed logical circuit has been restored. An illustrative method detailing the renaming of logical circuit identifiers is presented in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/745,047, entitled “Method And System For Automatically Renaming Logical Circuit Identifiers For Rerouted Logical Circuits In A Data Network,” filed on Dec. 23, 2003, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. -The logical operations 500 continue from operation 505 to operation 510 where the network management module 176 generates a table for presenting the current reroute statistics generated at operation 505. It will be appreciated that the table may be presented in an electronic format so that it is graphically displayed on one or more display terminals of the network management module 176. FIG. 6A is a table presenting current reroute statistics which may be generated for rerouted logical circuits in the data network 2, according to an embodiment of the invention. The table will be discussed in greater detail in the description of FIG. 6A below. -At operation 525, the network management module 176 generates updated reroute statistics based on the received updated trap data and then updates the table (generated at operation 510) at operation 530. FIG. 6B is a table presenting updated reroute statistics which may be generated for rerouted logical circuits in the data network 2, according to an embodiment of the invention. The table will be discussed in greater detail in the description of FIG. 6B below. The logical operations 500 then continue at operation 535. -FIG. 6A is a table 190 presenting current reroute statistics which may be generated by the network management module 176 for rerouted logical circuits in the data network 2, according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 6A, the table includes a LOGICAL CIRCUIT ID column 52, a REROUTE STATUS column 54, a LOGICAL FAILOVER CIRCUIT ID column 56, a # HOPS column 58, a UTILIZATION column 60, a QUALITY OF SERVICE (QoS) column 62, and a REROUTE PERIOD column 64. The LOGICAL CIRCUIT ID column 52 lists the logical circuit IDs for logical circuits belonging to one or more network circuit customers in the data network 2. The REROUTE STATUS column 54 lists whether or not each of the logical circuits in the LOGICAL CIRCUIT ID column 52 is currently being rerouted. The LOGICAL FAILOVER CIRCUIT ID column 56 lists the logical circuit IDs for logical failover circuits which may be utilized for rerouting data from the logical circuits listed in the LOGICAL CIRCUIT ID column 52. The # HOPS column 58 lists the number of hops taken by data being communicated through the logical failover circuits identified in the LOGICAL FAILOVER CIRCUIT ID column 56. The UTILIZATION column 60 lists the utilization percentage of the logical failover circuits identified in the LOGICAL FAILOVER CIRCUIT ID column 56 by rerouted logical circuit data. The QoS column 62 lists the quality of service offered for rerouted data by each of the logical failover circuits identified in the LOGICAL FAILOVER CIRCUIT ID column 56.

Abide without a break of steady Self-awareness. Instead of plucking hair after itching hair of thought, better shave the whole scalp clean. -If the mind turned outward and distracted, starts observing its own being, alienation ends, and the vestige ego, merges in the light of true Awareness, shining in the heart. -O mind, you wander far in search of bliss, not knowing your natural state of freedom. You will regain your home of infinite bliss, only if you go back the way you came. -Those who have sunk within their own inner selves to dwell as pure knowledge, so that their infatuation with worthless desires is abolished, will, through holy silence, establish the fulfillment of the real within their own selves. This practice of meditation upon consciousness itself is the true way. -None can confront and overcome the mind. Ignore it, then, as something false, unreal. Know the Self as the real ground and stand firm-rooted in it. -Losing false ego is awareness. -The ego image moves reflected in the mind's waves. How to stop this movement, how to regain the state of stillness? Don't observe these movements, seek the Self, instead. It is wisdom to gain and abide in silence. -Not like a boat's sail, outspread wide and worn away by wind and weather, but like the humble anchor, sunk in the vast ocean's depth, the mind should plunge and settle in the heart of wisdom. -Only a one-pointed mind, turned inward, succeeds in Self-inquiry. Weak, faltering minds, like green banana trees, are not fit fuel to feed this fire. -He who has vanquished thought, only he sits like an emperor on the neck of the majestic elephant, knowledge. Know for certain that the mind's movements alone give rise to birth and every cruel pain and sorrow. -When the ego, shaking off all tricky concepts, finally merges in the silence of the Heart, the fullness of blissful, bright Self-Awareness, this is what the sages call transcendent speech. -Christian Tamburr performed with his trio and as musical director and producer for the evening of musical entertainment. -Full photo gallery of Gala Celebration Evening. -CalCedar’s 3 Day Centennial event concluded at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe on June 29th at the lakeside Gala dinner titled “An evening of Magic, Music and Memories”.

We are dedicated to personalized, proactive, effective and resourceful planning that protects clients and their assets during their lifetime and efficiently distributes assets to beneficiaries at death. -Estate planning is deceptively complex; it is tempting to ‘do it yourself’. After all, almost everyone knows about a power of attorney and a will. Unfortunately, there are many ways for a plan to go terribly wrong. In some situations, no plan at all is effective. Other times, no plan, or incomplete and faulty planning brings needless financial and emotional hardship to loved ones. -Do you know the factors in your life that make estate planning, or lack of planning, vulnerable to disaster? -Below is a story of heartbreak, financial difficulty or family disruption that could have been avoided with effective planning. The story is real; with changes to protect confidentiality. It’s one of many stories highlighting ways a good plan can go wrong, the perils of not planning at all, the danger in do-it-yourself, and Buyer Beware if you don’t use an estate planning attorney. -Husband and Wife (“Harry” and “Wilma”) had been married for over 30 years. Harry died unexpectedly, in middle of real estate sale. The real estate broker, the buyer, and Wilma were surprised to find out Harry was the only listed owner on the Deed. The real estate agent called our office to help. We were able to scramble, avoid a probate, and get the property in Wilma’s name. In this case, it worked because Harry and Wilma had acquired the property during their marriage and she could swear until penalty of perjury, that the property was community property. -Wilma vowed to develop her own estate plan so that her three children would not have any hassles at her death. She met with me on several occasions and we talked about it a lot. She knew how she wanted her estate divided: one child needed to inherit her home, even though this meant the others would not have an equal share. The other two didn’t ‘need’ the home and were not in a position to take care of Wilma’s many animals on the property. She worried that the distribution would be unequal because there were insufficient other assets to balance out the gift of the home. -The primary worry that kept her from making the plan was how one child would react. We discussed her options and she accepted that it was her decision to make, but she just didn’t want to confront the unresolved issue with a child. She went into the hospital for a little bout of something and never came home. One daughter continued to pay property taxes, keep the home up and care for the animals until her money ran out. -Since Wilma had never signed her estate plan, she was intestate; the Probate Code determines what happens to a person’s assets when they don’t leave a will. In this case, all three children shared equally in the estate, which meant the house was sold. The relationship among the siblings rapidly deteriorated and will not likely be repaired. It was not what Wilma wanted and her family is paying the price; it is really heartbreaking. -Do you understand your estate plan? Do you know the factors in your life that make estate planning, or lack of planning, vulnerable to disaster? -Give the attorneys at Hyatt McIntire & Associates* a call; we are problem solvers and believe the best solution is to be proactive.

The next level of smartwatches now offers the look of a traditional watch combined with the features of a smartwatch, earning the name, hybrid smartwatch. Similar to how e-readers use technology on a classic use of paper, smartwatches try to bridge time, literally. -Unlike the original smartwatch, hybrid smartwatches showcase an analog clock on the face of the watch, rather than a touchscreen, and use a button on the side of the watch for controls. Hybrid smartwatches are a useful tool for managing your smartphone conveniently. Here are some popular watch brands that have recently came out with hybrid smartwatches that you can try out today. -Fossil’s Q Hybrid Smartwatches come in 18 different designs and allow you to switch out the straps to fit your specific style. The watches offer up to 6 months of battery life (depending on usage), running on a standard watch battery. Your phone and smartwatch stay connected using the Fossil Q App. This makes it the perfect solution for chatterbots who love to keep in touch with friends and family on the go. -Kronaby has a whole line of hybrid smartwatches for you to consider. However, they will cost you quite a bit of cash. The hybrid smartwatches sell for $395-$675, but it is money well spent if you need a great watch. The line features models for both men and women. The watches use only the best watch materials, and feature a changeable wristband. In addition, the watch has step tracking features, notifications, remote music playback controls and remote picture taking capabilities. You can even use the notifications to push your Russell Simmons Yoga app reminders to your watch. You can also use the hybrid smartwatch to let others know your current location with the press of just a single button. If you want a hybrid smartwatch that offers useful safety features, Kronaby may be worth your money. -Skagen’s design is called the Hagen Connected Hybrid Smartwatch and comes with a variety of straps including, steel-mesh, leather and silicon. This watch also uses an app which allows you to view data and manage your settings. The Hagen watch has a replaceable battery that lasts for four to six months. -For men looking for high-end hybrid smartwatches, Movado’s Bold Connected II could be the watch for you. This watch is offered in two different designs, one with a stainless steel link bracelet and the other with a black silicone strap. Both were engineered by HP and feature an analog clock with a small LED screen toward the bottom of the watch face. The Bold Connected II has a rechargeable battery and comes with a charging cable. Of course, it can be bought with a Chase payment too. -Kate Spade offers a gold hybrid smart watch for women it calls the Vachetta and Gold Hybrid Smartwatch. This watch connects to the Kate Spade New York app to track your information and never requires a charge. The company also sells the watch as part of a smartwatch box set. The set comes equipped with two options for the wearer, a two tone gold bracelet or an interchangeable black leather strap. -Michael Kors’ hybrid smartwatch is marketed as the perfect watch for any jet setter. The watch adjusts to your current time zone automatically when you land somewhere new and allows you keep up with two time zones at once. It is available in three different color combinations, black-tone, gold-tone and silver-tone and leather. This watch’s battery requires no charging and lasts up to 6 months, unlike that certain gadget you have been reading unbrick iPhone guides about. -All of these hybrid smartwatch options are water resistant and compatible with your Apple or Android smartphone. Most are also Bluetooth enabled, a step up from 1000base t-devices. Also, they require little to no charging. Being that the hybrid smartwatch comes equipped with the modern technology of a smartwatch and the look and feel of a traditional watch, it is easy for all to use. No matter your style, the perfect hybrid smartwatch is out there for you. -Is it even possible to make homemade Mac-n-Cheese even better? We think so!

Yup, that's right, the air purifier you choose will almost certainly have a filter capable of trapping those allergens, but if it doesn't have enough suction to actually draw them towards it quickly enough then it will not be of much use. -How do you work out how quickly an air purifier will gobble up those offending allergens then? -The first thing is to compare the CADR ( Clean Air Delivery Rate ) of the machines you are interested in. Generally speaking a higher CADR rating means quicker removal of the offending allergens in your room. -In order to be truly effective in gobbling up pollens an air purifier needs to be powerful enough to recirculate all of the air in YOUR room size through its filter as frequently as possible. As a guide, try to choose a machine which has enough air volume to process all the air in your largest room at least 3 times an hour. If you can get one which provides around 4 or 5 times an hour that would be even better. -The CADR rating on a box tells a consumer how efficient an air purifier is at actually removing the three main indoor pollutants, namely Pollen, Smoke and Dust. In this case, as a Hay Fever sufferer you should try to choose one where the pollen figure is highest. Clean Air Delivery Rate testing is carried out by an impartial and independent organisation called AHAM - a word of caution here though - not all manufacturers submit their units for certified testing to AHAM and may instead just list their own 'in house' test results on the box. If you want to be certain of what you are buying always choose a machine which has the genuine 'AHAM Certified' Seal on the box. -BEWARE of the manufacturers over inflated 'recommended room sizes'. -This is where we believe most consumers get misled into spending good money on something which is never going to be powerful enough to provide them with genuine relief from their Hayfever. Manufacturers usually state on the product box and specification list that the air purifier is 'For Rooms up to...' and then quote a room size usually given in square metres (m2). This information is completely worthless unless it is also followed by another figure telling you how long it will take to clean the air in that size of room. -One blatant example of this currently available on the High Street is an air purifier range manufactured by VAX which on the face of it seems to be reasonable value for money. One of their units available for £199 in Argos has a Pollen CADR rating of 240. So we know it is capable of removing pollens and according to the manufacturers specification the unit is suitable for rooms up to 103m2. However, when you calculate the CADR rating and divide it into the claimed room size, it shows that the unit would take 65 minutes to clean the air once in a room that size, equating to a very poor 0.93 air changes an hour. Remember, we already know that an air purifier needs to provide at least 3-5 air changes an hour to be genuinely effective at removing allergens! -Another VAX unit at £94.99 claims it will remove over 99% of allergens in rooms up to 87m2. Yet once again taking the CADR figure and working out the results clearly shows that this unit will take 69 minutes to purify the air once in that room size, equating to just 0.8 air changes an hour. These air purifiers may well still be effective in reducing Hay Fever symptoms, but realistically the room sizes in which they will be able to perform well are about 5 times smaller than those quoted. -OK, enough of the technical stuff! -To cut through the numbers and make life a little simpler for us all, we have put together a list of air purifiers which we know will provide up to 5 air changes per hour in their recommended room size, and all of which have genuine AHAM certified CADR ratings.

Juggling time between a marketing job and golf courts, he took good care of his health to maintain his busy lifestyle. But in May 2015, Palov experienced two weeks of chest pains. Following a visit with a cardiologist at the Lakeshore Hospital he knew his lifestyle was about to change. -The angiogram was very clear: Palov had extensive blockage in his arteries (85 to 90 per cent) and needed to undergo surgery as soon as possible. -It was Dr. Patrick Ergina, cardiac surgeon at the RVH-MUHC, who treated Palov. “Mr. Palov came to the MUHC because he needed an Aortic valve replacement and coronary bypass surgery,” he explains. -Dr. Ergina’s mission was to help restore the blood flow to Palov’s heart by replacing the blocked aortic valve with a new prosthetic valve and by bypassing the blocked coronary arteries with vessels that were taken from his legs. -Raji Cambow was one of Palov’s physiotherapists during his stay at the MUHC. As part of the unit’s multidisciplinary team, Cambow’s main role consists of helping patients gain back their mobility after a cardiac surgery. -In fact, this first experience at the newly located Royal Victoria Hospital left nothing but good impressions on Palov who made sure to send a letter of appreciation to the MUHC upon his discharge from the hospital. -Front row: Veronique Tardif, Dr. Patrick Ergina; back row: Linda Lowe, Susan Lloy, Raj Cambow, Donna Patterson, Maryam Ahli Eraghi, Myriam Julien, Christine Lefebvre. -To what level have Canadian adults studied?

Join our chat session with Statistics Canada experts on these findings! -My writing routine begins with a walk outdoors. Not a long walk or a fast one. Two miles up the street and back, early in the morning in summer before our California sun blisters the city, or before rain turns a winter walk into a slog. Most mornings it’s a walk on the shady side of the street, a familiar trek that doesn’t require me to think about where to turn or when to start ambling back home. -I’m lucky if I can get going without returning for one last thing, like replacing the house phone for my cell, realizing I’m not wearing my contacts, trading stiff shoes for a more comfortable pair, one more trip to bathroom, another smear of sunblock. Once I’m finally on my way, it’s a slight uphill hike and a reverse easy jaunt down. -A walk is a great opportunity to get a bit of exercise, because I will never wear those dorky rubber band outfits I’d have to don to go to a gym. I work out problems, even if I don’t work up much of a sweat, like the chronic situations that give me nightmares if I sleep in too late. I worry about personal problems, because as much as I’m fortunate to have loving family and friends, there is always someone to worry about. I worry about the injustices of my employment, politically inspired office intrigue affecting even my paltry claim to the working world. The walk uphill gives me a chance to excise those devils, though they’ll return like persistent hiccups. I walk more and more determinedly, relinquishing the pain in my calves for concentration on those cerebral irritants. Most days I realize there is little I can do except let go my worry, anger, and frustration, so I do, resolution of sorts. -At the top of the rise my palm swings around the light post that signals my walk homeward, and I begin to write. I work in my head because I can’t walk with a laptop though I’ve considered it. Some of my effort will get lost on the way home, but I’ll retain the essence of my work. -I hunt when I walk. I am a bird of prey. I seek words and pluck them before they scurry to safety. I stash interesting words that say things other than boring things like thing, (could you be more specific?) or stuff, (could you please be more specific?) or place (oh come on now.) Words come inspired by the crack of brittle tree limb, a flash of sunlight tagging a flag on a house balcony, the blap of a horn as a car zips by. Sensory imprints cast words like paladin (I want one of them for my very own, with sword or without), bleat (the sound of losers whining or of animals trapped in tales about Cyclopic pigs with batwings), contrafactum (just hum along here). I cache words for late night writing snacks. -Then I’m on to phrases, collections of words strung in movable pieces like frig magnets, passages whizzing around pesky as gnats. Found this one after passing an odorous clump left by someone who owns a dog but “forgot” the blue plastic baggie: “a dapple of sunlight tapping shadows on the ground, the only beauty in this muck.” Technically the dog left it, but you know what I mean. This next phrase is a bit of a cheat as I discovered it after falling into the cul de sac trying to remove a stubbornly rooted weed, minutes after completing my walk: “I see myself as a force of nature but a submissive one.” Maybe this one is usable: “Why is it that when a thing drops, it always slides under a cabinet so massive and low-grounded that you can’t reach it without a backhoe?” Cheating again, a complete sentence but not a profound one. The idea came after the pretty stone I wanted to keep dropped and rolled under a tangle of weeds, lost forever. How many unidentifiable clumps did I want to turn over? -Finally it’s the serious stuff I’m gathering. Like the sight of the lady who used to push a baby stroller done up in hot pink tiger stripes with sequined bows on the sun awning. A close look revealed it wasn’t her child she was pushing. Well, not her human child, anyway. It was a shih-tzu-oodle-hua, one of those toy pooches bred not for walking or running like other wild critters, but a little fluff of squeaks to salve a lonely soul who doesn’t have a hope of having grandchildren. And then my pity rolls out, because as awful as I find the tawdry contraption in which the yapper rides, I also respond to the woman’s isolation, so removed from the world that she can best communicate with a mini dog that can’t talk. Or walk. -The sensations, images, and words I’ve collected on my walk will show up in my writing. I’ll bring them to the front when I need to feel an activity in my gut, when I want to describe something with authentic detail. I’ll twist, tweak, and change elements to suit, but they’ll end up in some story. The best walks deliver the opening to writing gridlock that’s kept me scribbling drivel for the last day or two. Engaged with story, I’ll delete crap, write passages, correct problems, or know how to get my main character rolling off the sofa to make a decisive move in my WIP. -Back home in an hour, I’ve worked off 27 calories, 32 if I’ve walked fast, a paltry effort at improving my health. But I’ve started to write and can hardly wait to get on the computer. That’s my routine, odd as it is. For me it works. Let me know what works for you. -Because if you don’t, why should anyone else? Stop beating your chest already, Mom doesn’t count. You must love your work, really love it. -Lurchers & Longdogs is the title of one of my favourite books written by EG Walsh.

Neither Jen nor I spoke, but in unison we drove forward, blades aloft. Our razor sharp swords sliced through the rough fur like it was fine silk. The bear roared again, but it was too late. -“Got any funny lines up your sleeve?” Jen asked as the cloud dissipated. -“No,” I shrugged, “but I do have a lab report to write.” With that, we returned to our bodies. -Chloe has risked her life and love to enter the Palace. Now she’s waiting for something to happen. With the Ghetto Chapel to run and the very cute Yair to keep her company, it seems to be smooth sailing. But evil lurks in unexpected places. Will Chloe have the strength to defeat the darkness? -Seth will do anything to get Chloe back, even leave the world behind. Although upstate New York isn’t very far behind. Seth immerses himself in Boot Camp, determined to learn the intricacies of the Way. With the help of Aron, his old summer camp bunk-mate, Seth charts a path into the Palace. But, in the Palace, the battle is fought on many levels. Seth discovers that to win the battle, he might risk the prize. -In honor of the Life in the Palace blog tour, I’m giving away 10 free e-book copies of the sequel, To Call Your Name. -The prize will be split, 5 copies over Facebook and 5 over Twitter. -To enter either comment on my Facebook page or retweet. -Winners will be selected by the incredibly scientific method of letting my husband pick names at random and will be notified via private message. -Every sport brings its own requirements for eyewear, including winter sports. Simon Briggs from Extreme-Eyewear, a specialist sports eyewear company, explains what the main issues are when choosing the right eyewear for your sport. -“Sports eyewear requirements can be broken down into two main areas, eyewear fit and eyewear lenses. -“A sports person's eyewear needs to fit securely and comfortably, ensuring optimal performance in any situation. Each sport has its own requirements for sport sunglasses/eyewear. Many sports are played all year round so its important to have a sunglass lens in your sport sunglasses that will cope with a wide variety of sunlight conditions (from low light to heavy sunshine) or to have interchangeable lenses. -“Some sports are played on reflective surfaces such as water or snow where it is beneficial to have polarised lenses in your sport sunglasses to reduce the sun glare. -"The most popular correction comes in the form of an optical insert which is fitted with your prescription. The insert clips onto the back of the sport sunglasses enabling you to still interchange the ‘main sunglass’ lenses for different colours. As the insert can be removed this concept is also great for contact lens wearers." -"Cosmetically you can often tell there is an insert behind the sunglasses which makes them less than perfect for fashion prescription sunglasses but their functionality makes them idea for sport." -"The second form of correction is 'direct glazed' lenses, where your prescription is fitted into the eyewear frame. Two brands that excel are Oakley and Maui Jim, both manufacturing wrap-around lenses tailored to your prescription. -"Getting your ski goggles right is essential, when skiing or snowboarding a goggle has to be able to deliver good peripheral view, air circulation (to combat fogging), comfort and due to the popularity of helmets now be ‘helmet compatible’. -"There are a number of different sunglass and goggle hybrids available. These clever pieces of kit mean that you can buy your sunglasses and goggles at once. You simply buy a pair of sunglasses with sides that can be clicked off of the frame and replaced with a headband for a more secure fit. -"Some of these models include a padding system, which gives a more comfortable fit when worn as a goggle. The padding simply clicks into place on the back of the sunglass, and turns the sunglass into a full goggle." -"The prescription part of the correction is in the form of an optical insert that sits inside the skiing goggle, behind the main lens. The optical insert has no contact with your face making a perfect fit and allowing the goggle to fit as intended by the manufacturer. -Are There Alternative Corrections Available?"An alternative to optical inserts is to purchase 'Over the glass' ski goggles. These goggles are specifically designed to sit over the top of prescription glasses, having increased ventilation and a wide fit enabling your glasses to comfortably sit underneath." -What’s the difference? Great question. There’s probably an official answer but honestly to me they’re the same thing. The only difference is the type of pan you make it in. But honestly, you can make any tart recipe into a pie and any pie recipe in to a tart. So whether you want to call this a pie or a tart, I’m ok with either. -I took this to a potluck and I think I called it a pie. But now that I think about it, I made it in a tart pan so it should be called a tart. A tart sounds fancy, doesn’t it? -Pie sounds homey. Tart sounds regal. I’m ok with fancy business, but let’s be honest, I’m not a fan of expensive. My tart pan was $2.50 at the Good Will. I wanted to keep this dessert low budget too. I went to the store and looked for the cheapest fruit available. That’s my strategy because generally the cheapest fruit is in season. -Nectarines were $0.50/lb. So awesome. It took about $1.50 worth of fruit to make this tart. Beautiful and frugal. I’m into it. -Prepare pie crust by combing flour, sugar and salt. Using your fingers, break the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles very coarse crumbs (even pea sized is fine). Add ice water and bring it all together into a ball using your hands. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate a few hours. You can make this up to two days in advance (or much longer and freeze it). -Once the dough has rested enough (a few hours or days), roll out and place into a 9 inch fluted tart pan (this will also work in a pie dish). Place in freezer while you make the filling and topping. -Dice nectarines (leave the skin on) and combine with sugar, flour, cinnamon and rum. Set aside and make the topping. In a bowl, combine ingredients for filling. Using your fingers, work ingredients together (feel free to add more pistachios if you’d like) until the texture of coarse crumbs. -Now assemble tart. Place nectarine filling into prepared tart pan. Top with crumble topping. Lay a few thin pats of butter over the top. Bake for about an hour and a half, or until filling is bubbling and top is golden. -Allow to cool completely. Serve and enjoy! -For some reason I’m thinking plum pie needs to happen sometime soon, because I never see plums in a pie. -What’s your favorite fruit pie? If you have an awesome recipe, share it in the comments! -Good call on the dollop of yogurt. Normally, I’d be all for ice cream but yogurt sounds amazing too! -I love nectarines. I use them in recipes that call for peaches. I made an apple crumble last week. Nectarines would be good in place of apples too, I think! -That sounds absolutely delicious, will be giving it a go. And I always think a pie has a lid and a tart doesn’t but I don’t know if that’s the official difference! -In case you don't check NPR on a regular basis, they posted an interview + live performance from The Weepies on World Cafe. -Obviously this is for anyone, but Katrina's love affair is well documented. -Cool!

What about the victims whose body parts are sold? Planned Parenthood technicians may find that kind of depravity chuckle worthy, but congressional Republicans don’t, which is why Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will hold a vote before August recess to end the more than $500 million Planned Parenthood extracts annually from taxpayers. Amazingly, Minority Leader Harry Reid responded, “Good luck with that. We’re dealing with the health of American women, and they’re dealing with some right-wing crazy.” With even more videos set to be released, it’s only a matter of time before the story goes mainstream. Let’s see who the public will think is crazy — those who want to protect the sanctity of life, or those who try to justify the trafficking of human organs. -Here you are able to download free fonts beginning with letter A.

In a quiet, dimly lit room, young designers sit at rows of computers, modeling birds, locomotives and girls wearing capes. -This a cartoon command center, one of 16 nationwide. Set up over a three-year period thanks to tax incentives, subsidies and bonuses, the centers are part of Beijing’s ambitious plan to cultivate an animation industry able to contribute 1% of national GDP within 10 years. The figure stood at 0.1% in 2005. -China’s short-term strategy seems to be a production blitz coupled with government measures to ensure domestic cartoons are aired. China produced 102,000 minutes of animation in 2007, up 20% from the previous year and 137% from 2005, according to a recent report by Morgan Stanley, an investment bank. -In May, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television extended a 2006 ban on broadcasting foreign cartoons by an hour, creating a daily blackout period that runs from 5 pm to 9 pm. Stations must also show seven minutes of domestic cartoons for every three minutes of foreign output. As a result, Chinese animators claimed a 50% market share last year, up from 15% several years ago. -But a torrent of animation minutes does not add up to profits or prestige for most of the country’s 5,400 cartoon companies. Though Beijing dreams of a world-class animation industry to compete with Disney or Dreamworks, a local industry champion is unlikely to emerge soon, as broadcasters still favor studios that produce cheaply and bountifully. -For televised animation, broadcasters like CCTV and provincial television stations pay studios by the minute. Higher-quality 3D animation fetches a higher price than 2D. Paying more for better animation should, in theory, attract more viewers, and allow stations to charge higher advertising rates. But state-controlled CCTV is less dependent on advertising revenue than a private broadcaster would be. Filling cartoon quotas – not boosting TV ratings – is its top priority. A survey by the China Animation & Comics Association found that only 11% of Chinese teenagers preferred domestic cartoons, compared with 60% who favored ones from Japan. -“Lots of poor-quality animated TV shows are just being made blindly,” said Ye Min, director of the animation series Magic Wonderland, produced by Hangzhou-based Zhongnan Animation. -Many in the industry point to the low amount CCTV pays studios for their work as a major obstacle toward higher-quality animation. -CCTV pays a “a few hundred yuan” per minute for animation, but production costs in China average RMB10,000 (US$1,500) per minute for 2D and RMB30,000 (US$4,400) for 3D, said Shen Yuliang, general manager of Zhongnan Animation. Last year, Zhongnan turned a profit for the first time since it was set up in 2005. It is rumored to be one of the only studios in Hangzhou to have crept into the black. -For studios, getting paid at all is an improvement over the old system. -“Before, it was free for broadcasters to air cartoons,” said Nie Jinxing, media relations manager at Sunchime Cartoon Group, which produces Blue Cat, one of China’s most widely syndicated cartoon series since its launch in 1999. The company came close to bankruptcy in 2001, after spending US$8.7 million on production for a series that was broadcast by 15 television stations for free. -Though producing cartoons to broadcast pro bono was an extreme, global animation markets aren’t set up much differently. Worldwide, animation companies make very little money from broadcasting, but profit from DVDs, toys and other merchandise that the cartoon programs themselves advertise. -Unfortunately for Chinese animators, these sources of revenue are virtually non-existent. Merchandizing is underdeveloped, while DVD sales are undermined by China’s virulent pirate market. -Sunchime told Asia Times last year that it estimates the value of Blue Cat and its derivative products at US$582 million annually, but only makes US$14-29 million. -Piracy and lack of profitability are also dissuading potential foreign investors. -Foreign studios have outsourced labor-intensive, technical animation work to China since the 1990s, but they rarely invest in the country’s animation industry. This results in limited foreign expertise at China’s new animation bases – one reason the industry is short of creative directors and storytellers. -A creative vision to shape the millions of cartoon minutes into a world-class industry is not a matter of numbers. -Arameh Zargham O’Boyle, of Mintz Levin, is the first female partner in the growing Los Angeles office. In her 12 years of practice, O’Boyle has become one of the most sought after attorneys that product innovators and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, medical device, personal care and cosmetic sectors rely on when faced with potential or actual litigation. -O’Boyle is a litigator who defends companies engaged in complex product liability litigation ranging from multiparty cases to single-plaintiff law suits. She has been an integral part of trial teams and served as lead strategist in highprofile litigation throughout the country involving pharmaceutical and medical device companies. She has built a career counseling clients on product labeling and risk assessment and prevention, as well as document retention, management and collection strategies. Clients rely on O’Boyle to quickly assess the issues and generate aggressive but cost-efficient defense strategies serving to minimize or entirely avoid litigation exposures, whether local or national in scope. -(Remember) when the angels said: "O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous." She said: "My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?" He said: "So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, 'Be!' and it is." -The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into being. -"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God's permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses...." -Neither Muhammad  nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but rather to confirm and renew it. -Muslims also believe that God revealed a holy book to Jesus called the Injeel, some parts of which may be still available in the teachings of God to Jesus in the New Testament. But this does not mean that Muslims believe in the Bible we have today because it is not the original scriptures that were revealed by God. They underwent alterations, additions, and omissions. -This was also said by the Committee charged with revising The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version). This Committee consisted of thirty-two scholars who served as members of the Committee. They secured the review and counsel of an Advisory Board of fifty representatives of the co-operating denominations. The Committee said in the Preface to The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version), p. iv: "Sometimes it is evident that the text has suffered in transmission, but none of the versions provides a satisfactory restoration. Here we can only follow the best judgement of competent scholars as to the most probable reconstruction of the original text." The Committee also said in the Preface, p. vii: "Notes are added which indicate significant variations, additions, or omissions in the ancient authorities (Mt 9.34; Mk 3.16; 7.4; Lk 24.32, 51, etc.)." -Bid'ah (innovation) in Islam is defined as any invented way in religion that is aimed at worshipping or drawing closer to Allaah subhanahu wata'ala. This means anything that is not referred to specifically in Sharee'ah, and for which there is no evidence (daleel) in the Qur'aan or Sunnah, and which was not known at the time of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and his Companions. At the same time, it is quite obvious that this definition of religious inventions or innovations, which are condemned, does not include worldly inventions [such as cars and washing machines, etc. - Translator]. -An ultra luxurious resort-style compound located in Los Angeles’ Bel Air hood recently landed on the market. For the meager fortune of $24,995,000, you can call this 12,600 square-foot residence home. -Fantastic features include an entrance lobby fitting of a five star hotel, a 6-seat professional theater with 130” screen, a decked out gym, a yoga and pilates studio and a full-service day salon where you can receive a massage, get your hair and makeup done, or pamper yourself with a mani/pedi. -Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the temperature controlled wine preservation room that fits 600 bottles of your favorite vino, and those looking for a lavish soak will ooh and ahh over the tub in the master bathroom worth roughly $60,000. If you wander outside, you’ll find a tree bar, an al fresco kitchen, an outdoor theater, and an infinity pool. -With nine bedrooms and fourteen baths, this compound—located at 1737 Bel Air road—will ensure you never have to leave home again. -"At this point, we're more concerned about the risk of a downgrade than a default," said Terry Belton, global head of fixed income strategy at JPMorgan Chase. In a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Belton said the loss of the country's AAA rating may rattle markets, but it's "better than missing an interest payment." -Even with a deadline to raise the U.S. debt limit less than a week away, many investors still believe Washington will pull off a last-minute deal to avoid a catastrophic default. Washington has until Aug. 2 to raise the country's $14.3 trillion borrowing limit or risk missing a payment on its debt. President Barack Obama and Congressional Republicans have failed to reach an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and pass a larger budget-cutting package. Politicians have tied raising the debt limit and spending cuts together. -But at least one credit rating agency has already made it clear that unless that agreement includes at least $4 trillion in budget cuts over the next decade, the country's AAA rating could be lost. Right now, the proposals under discussion cut around $2 trillion or less. -Standard & Poor's warned earlier this month that there was a 50-50 chance of a downgrade, if Congress and President Obama failed to find a "credible solution to the rising U.S. government debt burden." S&P said it may cut the U.S. rating to AA within 90 days. Passing a $4 trillion agreement could prevent a downgrade, S&P said. -The other chief rating agency, Moody's Investors Service, said the U.S. government would likely keep its top rating if it avoids a default. -Spokesmen from both Moody's and S&P said they wouldn't comment beyond their recent reports. -Belton estimates that borrowing costs would rise between 0.60 to 0.70 points. That may not sound like much. But mortgage interest rates, which have hovered around 4.5 percent for the last several weeks, could rise by at least that amount, to more than 5.1 percent. -And for the federal government, it eventually means an extra $100 billion in interest payments to Treasury holders like China each year. -"That's a huge number," Belton said. That $100 billion a year that could be spent elsewhere on everything from education to infrastructure. -An increase in interest rates could soon become a drag on other parts of the economy, experts say. State governments and insurance agencies would also be downgraded — and states are already having financial troubles. Business confidence could sink again, leading to prolonged high unemployment. -But some investors aren't unhappy about the thought of a U.S. debt downgrade. Don Quigley, manager of the $1.5 billion Artio Total Return Bond fund reasons that such a move could provide a buying opportunity. He believes that a downgrade would immediately send the yield of the 10-year bond up to 3.15 percent from its current level of about 3 percent. -If the economy sinks further in part because of higher interest rates, investors would very likely return to buying bonds, Quigley said. That's what they've done during the last several years both during the financial crisis and recession, and again the last several months as the economic recovery has slowed. -Treasurys would keep their allure, in part, because there are few alternatives for large foreign buyers looking for a market big enough to handle massive investments. -"The German market is not big enough and Japan has its own problems," Quigley said. -A cut to the U.S. credit rating could hit stocks harder than bonds. A study by Janney Montgomery Scott looked at rating changes to countries over the past decade. After Spain was downgraded in 2009, Spain's stock market fell 8 percent in three months. A cut to Japan's credit rating in 2011 knocked the country's stock market down 3.4 percent in three months. The study, released in April, suggested the S&P 500 would fall 6% after a U.S. downgrade, erasing all its gains for the year. -> god-mode in the new buffer. -`setq-default' to set a default for all other buffers. -better approach.

I'm Wang Fei. -William: So, Wang Fei, today is 3 May. -William: Do you know what 3 May is? -Wang Fei: Hmm… a Tuesday? -William: Yes, it's a Tuesday, but it's not just any Tuesday. Today is World Press Freedom Day. This is the day that the United Nations has chosen to highlight the importance of a free press around the world. -Wang Fei: A free press. So, newspapers that are free to write anything they think the public need to know and TV news that can report anything? -William: Yes they can report anything, including things that look bad for the government! Scandals. -Wang Fei: A scandal, so something very bad that damages someone's reputation. -William: Exactly. And one of the most famous scandals from American history is the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s. -Wang Fei: Watergate… that was why President Nixon had to resign wasn't it? -William: Exactly, yes, because he was shown to have lied to the American people and basically obstructed the course of justice. The whole thing started when five men were arrested for breaking into an office block called Watergate. This was where the Democratic Party had their headquarters. Later on, the men were linked to the campaign to re-elect President Nixon, who was in the Republican Party. -Wang Fei: Well, this is very interesting but what has it got to do with The English We Speak, William? -William: Well, because Watergate was such a massive scandal, Wang Fei, the word -gate is now sometimes used as a suffix to suggest that something is a scandal. So, to give you an example from last year, when Gordon Brown was trying to get re-elected as British Prime Minister, he was overheard calling an old lady a "bigot" – a very strong word for somebody who is intolerant and close-minded. Anyway, this was a big scandal and it came to be known in the media as 'bigotgate'. -Wang Fei: Bigotgate. That sounds almost a little bit funny. -William: Yes, you're right. I think using -gate on the end of a word can make it seem a little humorous. This term -gate is used more in the USA, but another recent example from the UK is 'Climategate' – that was when some emails and other documents from a university in England led to people asking questions about the way that scientists researched climate change. Climategate. -Wang Fei: So, can we use –gate in normal English conversation too? -Man A: Have you seen Mark recently? -Man B: Mark – he hasn't spoken to me since beergate! -Man A: Beergate? What do you mean? -Man B: We had a big argument because I said Mark never bought a round of beer in the pub! He got very upset and went home. -Wang Fei: So in that example, the speaker coined the word beergate to describe an argument about paying for beer! -William: Yeah, which is obviously very silly. But of course, this suffix -gate is used in very serious situations too. And it was thanks to members of the free press, including the Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, that the public came to know about Watergate. -Wang Fei: Yes.

I retained and can recite a few formulas from class – The Pythagorean Theorem = A squared + B squared = C squared, and although I’d like to think that Geometry has helped me while playing pool, Math doesn’t mix with my mindset. In the case of Pittsburgh professional Xander Demos, though, I see numbers with new knowledge! -When it comes to Xander Demos, the numbers are very clear to calculate. His last two singles made their way to number 1 on Myspace’s Metal and Progressive chart. He will be featured on two future compilations, Liberty N Justice’s “Cigar Chronicles” and Raging Storm Records’ “Night Of the Living Shred,” and also will appear on Ged Ryland’s solo CD, due out soon. Xander has innumerable endorsements and has been featured on no fewer than 5 shows and sites, including The Real Radio Show with AJ Pero of Twisted Sister, Steve Vai’s GuitarTV.com, GuitarWorld.com, Hair Metal Mansion and Iron City Rocks. -Mixed by CJ Snare of Firehouse, it contains 10 tracks of combustible guitar content. Mr. Demos will also be delivering an instructional DVD and sharing his skills to interested students. A collection of his endorsements include EMG Pickups, Conklin Guitars, ISP Technologies, David Thomas McNaught Guitars, GraphTech, V-Picks, Jim Dunlop Strings and Accessories, Hughes and Kettner, Tremol-No, FloydUpgrades.com, Scott Dixon Cases and Suhr Guitars, Amps & Effects. Xander exclusively uses the FloydUpgrades tremolos or the GraphTech LB-63 piezo-equipped Floyd tremolo and has Xander Demos signature series guitars both 6-string and 7-string models. However, you don’t need to know extensive knowledge about guitars to enjoy his efforts. -What Mr. Demos delivers is a really diverse range that is both nostalgic and new. You can head-bang without the head ache, as he comes through clean and clear, cutting like a capable musical carver. Also an avid animal aid, Xander donated some of his EP sales to various animal charities. When you add it all up, Xander Demos is the correct answer to the mathematical musical equation, and that’s always a lesson I look forward to learning! -Sara Fincham: Talk about the importance of Pittsburgh in your work. How did you get your start there, how is the response, and how has it allowed you to expand not just withing the city the city, but outside it as well? -that people are starting to catch on – slow but sure. -SF: Tell us more about your product endorsements. How did that happen and how does that help you, and in return, how do you help them? -I am associated with at this point. -SF: Did you foresee your last singles soaring to number one? What was that like and what doors have that unlocked for you, to have video success? -that people WANT to hear. It’s a great feeling! -SF: You’re involved in a few different projects. Any updates on the east coast tour with the Sabbath Judas Sabbath tribute band? How often do you play in Pittsburgh? -in Pittsburgh yet so stay tuned to my website for details. -SF: How did the compilation cds and your involvement with Ged Ryland’s solo CD come about? Are you approached for projects like that or do you still solicit some? -I am just working with the ones that have contacted me. -SF: You play a lot of shows, and have been fortunately featured on so many sites – what’s the next step? How do you keep building on that? -SF: I would love to see a show sometime! What have you got coming up? -US President Donald Trump took to Twitter Monday morning to announce that Rex Tillerson, 69th United States secretary of state, would be replaced by CIA Director Mike Pompeo. -Despite disagreements between Trump and Tillerson ranging from 45's Boy Scouts speech to the Iran nuclear deal, many were shocked at the decision to let Tillerson go. -Once called "a star" in the making by Trump, Tillerson's next concrete move following his official last day March 31 is unknown. -Before joining the Trump administration, Tillerson was CEO of ExxonMobil since 2006. With his position now filled by Darren Woods, it's anyone's guess whether the multinational oil and gas corporation will welcome the Tillerson back with open arms following his public dismissal from the White House. -Property giant Hammerson - one of three partners behind Birmingham's hugely successful Bullring shopping centre - yesterday shrugged off the depression hanging over the UK retail sector with strong first half results. -Property giant Hammerson - one of three partners behind Birmingham's hugely successful Bullring shopping centre - yesterday shrugged off the depression hanging over the UK retail sector with strong first half results. -The company, which also owns major stakes in shopping centres, said that despite the slowdown in consumer confidence, its retail assets were continuing to attract good levels of demand from tenants. -Hammerson is part of the Birmingham Alliance, the partnership behind Bullring and Martineau Place shopping centres. Henderson Global Investors and Land Securities are the other companies involved. -Chief executive John Richards said: "There are some uncertainties in retail trends in the UK but I have to say that Hammerson properties are well positioned in the best sectors of the market - dominant regional shopping centres and high-quality retail parks." -Mr Richards said Bullring had performed particularly well - in fact "outperforming the general trend in UK retailing" and continuing to attract tourist shoppers as well as regular customers. -Hammerson posted a 21.6 per cent rise in half-year pretax profits to £247.3 million, while its property portfolio was valued at £4.8 billion at the end of June, with retail accounting for 71 per cent of the estate. -Profits were boosted by a £31.5 million gain on property sales, which included the sale of a property on Boulevard Haussmann in Paris. In total, the group raised £217 million from disposals. -Looking ahead, the property specialist said demand for office space in London and Paris was "encouraging". It also has significant new projects coming on stream, including the former Stock Exchange building in the City of London. -Outgoing chairman Ronald Spinney said: "I believe Hammerson is well placed to achieve good income growth from its reversionary retail portfolio, notwithstanding some uncertainties over trends in consumer expenditure in the UK. -"In addition, there is an encouraging improvement in demand for office accommodation, both in central London and Paris, and this should enable the group to achieve further lettings in its office portfolio." -Mr Spinney is standing down from the board at the end of September having spent 12 years with the company. He will be succeeded as chairman by non-executive director John Reynolds from October 1. -As well as working with councils to advance schemes in Kingston- upon- Thames, Leeds, Peterborough and Sheffield, Hammerson said it believed there were opportunities to "extend and enhance" a number of its existing shopping centres, including Bernt Cross in north London, West-Quay in Southampton and The Oracle in Reading. -Hammerson also forecast growth in office rents next year, when it expects to benefit from a low level of new supply, particularly in the City of London, and further falls in vacancy rates during the remainder of this year. -The company is also confident that office lettings will improve from their recent below-par performance. -Earnings per share fell 23.6 per cent, from 94.5p to 72.2p. -However, the interim dividend payment rises 6.4 per cent, from 5.45p to 5.8p per share. -Shares closed up 8p at 887p. -Telecoms Supermarket UK (TSUK) compares and offers best valued broadband for your home or business in Harrow.

We're checking our flight information, hotel information, car rental information...lots of information! We have maps of the greater Phoenix area and the city of Mesa. We have driving directions to the hotel from the airport, the hotel to the church, and anywhere else we need to go. Preparing these things ahead of time is a must: it's no fun to arrive in a new city and realize you have no idea how to get around! We also have a basic timeline for every day we're in Arizona: who we're meeting, where we're going, times for relaxing, etc. Preparation is key! -I think the weightiness of this excursion is playing havoc with my insides: I'm feeling mildly ill and not sleeping too well at night. This could be due to stress. I'm not a doctor, but that's my diagnosis. Finding out we might be getting a new job, a new home, and essentially a new life in less than a week is a stressful endeavor! -We're uber-excited!

You will be awesome! -Vans is hoping to prove its credentials as the skateboarder brand of choice with the opening of a new skateboard park and creative hub in London. -Located in the five Old Vic Tunnels under Waterloo Station, House of Vans plays host to the only indoor skate park in London, as well as a cinema, music venue, art gallery and bars and restaurants. There is also studio space that young artists can use for free to create a project then see it exhibited in the gallery. -Everything at House of Vans is free to attend, although available on a first come first served basis. The idea, marketing vice president Jeremy de Maillard tells Marketing Week, is to make the space feel like a “house where everyone is welcome”. -He highlights that this is not a short-term project, with Vans leasing the space for five years with the aim of integrating its brand into the local community. Vans will be supporting three local charities as part of the project and investing in the local skateboarding and creative scenes. -“We want this to be a stepping stone for artists and creatives in London. This is a way of showcasing the brand experience – we want to be synonymous with creativity,” de Maillard says. -There are no Vans products for sale at House of Vans, although there is a museum showcasing some of the brands iconic products. De Maillard says the aim is not to sell but to immerse people in the Vans brand and make them feel part of the “Vans family”. -He hopes that by making this investment the brand will experience a boost in brand equity, loyalty and increased purchase consideration and transactions. -It will be launching a membership programme that gives subscribers advantages such as priority for gig tickets and skateboarding sessions. For the most loyal, there are plans to offer “VIP” events such as a private session in the skate park with some of the big names in skateboarding. -Vans will not charge for the scheme itself but will require members to donate what they can afford to its charity partners. -It is also extending the project into the digital world with the aim of reaching a further 1 million people that might not be able to attend the space in person. The whole place is wired with HD cameras and Vans is planning live web casts of big events that will be shared on a dedicated House of Vans London website, as well as on social media. -There is also free Wi-Fi throughout the space so visitors can share their experiences on social media. -“We are trying to mix the digital and physical worlds. The consumer today is on their phone the whole time but we believe there is still a strong need for physical experiences and the more the world becomes digital the more meaningful and impactful those true authentic physical experiences become,” says de Maillard. -London is the second House of Vans project to go live, with the first opening in Brooklyn in 2010. It opens to the public tomorrow (9 August) and will be open five days a week. -A new report on omnichannel commerce shows that UK retailers are lagging behind their American counterparts in digital and in-store offerings, despite serving the world’s most mature ecommerce market. But even the US still hasn’t worked out the conundrum of linking up stock data. -Being the summer, I have had more time to chat with my teenage kids. As they have got older, they have become (a little) more interested in what I do for a living – perhaps as it starts to dawn on them that one day they too will have to enter the deep dark world of employment, and it would be wise to avoid the jobs that their parents do, as it seems like hard work. -Twitter is revamping its pricing model for campaigns, allowing advertisers to purchase ads based on what it claims are “objective-based” goals designed to inject variety into its cost-per-engagement model. -F1600 Formula F Championship Series alum Aaron Telitz claimed two victories for the Team USA Scholarship and Cliff Dempsey Racing at this weekend’s 43rd annual Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch, but fell short of the ultimate prize when he spun into the gravel trap while challenging for the lead in the Final. -Teammate Michai Stephens, 22, from Evanston, Ill., once again was struck by misfortune in his Semi Final race this morning and was unable to qualify for the Final. Stephens had driven impressively to work his way from 25th on the grid to 12th, only to be forced off the road when veteran driver Rick Morris made a rare mistake while Stephens was in the process of passing him around the outside at Clearways. -Telitz, 22, from Birchwood, Wis., put on another clinic during his Semi Final round. He made an exemplary start from the pole and led all 15 laps to ensure a place on the front row of the grid for the 20-lap Grand Final. He had to be content with the outside position, due to the fact his Semi Final had been interrupted by two Safety Car periods which ensured a slower average speed than Semi Final 2. Undeterred, Telitz made a good start and immediately began to pressurize race leader Jonny McMullan. -On Lap 4, Telitz carried more momentum onto the Brabham Straight and drafted to the left of McMullan on the undulating approach to the first corner, Paddock Hill Bend. The pair ran side-by-side toward the apex of the turn, whereupon Telitz’s car just got away from him and he performed a lazy spin into the gravel trap, from which there was no escape. -Telitz and Stephens will now regroup and return to action on Thursday at Silverstone for two more days of testing prior to next weekend’s Walter Hayes Trophy event for which over 100 Formula Ford cars are currently entered. -​We use a professional quality dual diesel/gasoline engine system that generates hot water, which allows us to use the ultra cleaning power of steam.

Sign in to let us know how R V Stich Construction Inc was? -honesty is key Apr 17 . -by JanBuck at Citysearch Nov 10 . -This company is terribile. They showed up at our site with some of the worst looking equipment you have ever seen. Those photos on their website is nothing like the equipment they really have. Their people are just aweful and the dope head they sent to work at our site tried to hit us up for additional side work using their equipment. A guy named Matt arrived twice and then completely disappeared never to be seen again. This is a real scammer - buyer beware! -by JaggedEdged at Citysearch Nov 10 . -I read the other review by a former employer. I never worked there, so I don't really know, but the people there do seem really nice. Lot of great guys, and it seems like they keep their employees around long term, so they must be doing something right. Very friendly guys at that company, and a few hotties too (who shall remain nameless), which never hurts when they are working on your jobsite too. -by repulsive at Citysearch Nov 10 . -I was working in that company for about eleven months. The treatment there was not so good, specially for one specific person call Rocky Stich and his co-workers: Del rosario, Juliana, Matt, Rick, Rachel, Dennis, Jessie ??, Andy, Carol, Diana, and anothers ones. -If you've been to or used R V Stich Construction Inc, leave a review. -Model Home open daily 10am-4pm. Lot size 12,000 sq. ft. The 2245 plan offers fantastic single level living with a huge open concept great room & kitchen, 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

The great room features a warm & cozy fireplace w/ eat-in nook. -This past summer a pregnant woman was punched in the face while walking along a street in Brooklyn. She was knocked out, but, fortunately, no lasting harm came to her or to her baby. The assailant, a 33-year old man, was quickly apprehended in what seems to be a completely random act of violence. -No question that the attack was terrible, but is the neighbor’s conclusion accurate? Should we – all of us – fear everyone? I guess, on the one hand, that we might be safer if we do: if we assume that every person, in every situation is trying to hurt us for no reason at all, we will always act to protect ourselves. We will never approach a stranger to say hello or ask if they need help; we will never even smile at them as they walk by. We will always lock our doors, our windows, our cars, and we will always ask ourselves if we are leaving ourselves open to attack – on the street, at work or school, on the bus or train, at the mall, in the park… but is that how we want to live? -Years ago, before 9/11, I gave a sermon in which I asked how many people at that Yom Kippur service knew anyone personally who had been murdered. Out of 900 people in the room, four raised their hands. Now I ask you the same question: with the exception of the vile, calculated attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, how many friends, relatives or acquaintances of yours have been murdered, or even suffered serious injury, at the hand of a stranger? -I spent a lot of time thinking about this before realizing that the answer, for me, is exactly zero. A relative died in World War II, and a college roommate was killed by a rival for his girlfriend’s affections, but not a single friend, relative or acquaintance of mine has been murdered or seriously hurt by a stranger. When I consider how many thousands of people I have known over the course of my life, that’s seems pretty amazing. -But is it so amazing? If we listen to the news it sounds like people are being punched in the face every day, on every street corner. However, if we remember that over 8 million people live in New York City, and another 8 ½ million live in New Jersey, then our chances of being punched by a random stranger on one day in August seem to be around 16,500,000 to one. And since it hasn’t happened again since that day, the chances are hundreds of millions to one. But you wouldn’t know that from the news. -The job of any news organization is not, actually, to give us the news; it is to make us watch or listen or click or read, so they can sell whatever it is they sell to stay in business. Our job is to ask ourselves whether the reports of random violence are relevant to us and whether we should adjust our lives in response. If someone told me that a knife-wielding lunatic was seen in my development, you can be sure I would bolt the doors. But hearing that a man in Brooklyn punched a pregnant woman, despicable as it was, does not lead me to the conclusion that I “have to be afraid of everyone.” It doesn’t even mean that every person in Brooklyn has to be afraid of everyone. -From the TSA farce at airports to security cameras monitoring cars at Freehold Raceway Mall, we are told to be afraid all day, every day. News reports make it sound like we are lucky to get through a single day without harm. But our life experiences do not bear this out. -Yes, bad things happen in life. But far, far fewer than we imagine. The news has its place and purpose, but we should not let it define our lives for us. -“Fear everyone” is a terrible motto to live by. We deserve better. -You made it this far you speed devil, you. Let’s get you tuned up. -This upgrade requires you to send us your ECU for re-programming.

It feels like RSS feeds are becoming more and more common every day. Part of this is due to the growing popularity of blogs, and partly because web users are becoming a little more savvy. -Once upon a time there was a web user. We’ll call her Betty. Betty found a blog she liked to read, and she checked back daily for new posts. Then Betty found out about some more blogs she liked, so she started checking those daily too. It wasn’t look before Betty was checking 30 blogs every day – and wow, it was starting to take a while! -This is where RSS feeds come in. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a way for a blog to make its content available in an easily transportable format. So Betty signed up to Google Reader (or any of a million other aggregators (RSS Readers), where she could read all 30 of her blogs in one place, without wasting time visiting all of these other sites. And she lived happily ever after. -Its very common now to visit a blog and see a button linking to the RSS feed for that blog. But in most cases, when you click the icon, you saw raw code. -Its got an info-box at the top showing ways to subscribe, and it lays out the raw data in an acceptable manner. This is done with the help of XLST. Because XLST doesn’t just dictate style rules but it also allows you to add other content in – content only visible to the web browser, not shown by the reader.

He was a retired minister with a warm smile, a twinkle in his eye, and a deep love and steadfast devotion for his wife. His son described the love his father had for his mother as a “perfect shelter.” One of his closest friends spoke movingly of the time he spent with him on the many hikes they would take together in the Shenandoah Mountains. He was one of those rare people in this world who simply radiate goodness and light. -I went alone to the service, and my husband stayed home with the kids. As I was leaving the house, I asked my family to think of something fun that we could all do together when I got back. I knew it would be a wrenching occasion, and I wanted to have something to look forward to when I came home. -When I returned, my husband suggested that we go for a hike. -Did he not remember that I had asked him to think of something fun to do? -Did he not remember that in all of the almost twenty years that he’s known her, his wife has always, most definitely been an indoorsy kind of person? -Did he not remember that we had just gone on a hike the weekend before, thereby 100%, maybe even 175% fulfilling the annual hike quota for 2015? -Did he not care that it was about 20 degrees outside? -No. The answer is no, he did not. -I ask you: Is this view worth hypothermia? -As we walked along I kept hearing alarming creaking noises and thought it was only a matter of time before I got beamed on the head with a falling tree. -My daughter still has two legs.

Bookmark the permalink. -The question arises, of course, “Who are or what are they calling?” Some say that the cry is for the four horsemen to come forth. Others say that they are calling for John to come and see. But it seems to me that the cry to “Come” is most consistently used in the book of Revelation to cry out to the Lamb to come and establish His kingdom. But when this happens, as we see in chapter six, the Lamb and His people encounter intense resistance and opposition. -Four times, the living creatures call out “Come!” Four times, a horseman rides out. The first is armed with a bow (a weapon frequently associated with the enemies of God in Scripture). He goes out conquering and to conquer, we read in verse 2. Ironically, when God’s enemies believe that they are conquering Him and His people (13:7), they are actually being conquered (17:14). The second horseman (v.3) is permitted the right to kill God’s people with the sword. Jesus’ words in Matthew 10:34 are likely being alluded to here when He says, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” The third horseman (v.5) brings economic hardship upon those who follow the Lamb. They are forced to pay inflated prices or given restricted access to the basic necessities of life. This type of economic oppression is a common tactic of persecutors the world over and it grinds God’s people down. It is one thing to suffer hunger yourself but to watch your children suffer hunger and deprivation because of your faith can be demoralizing and make the temptation to deny Christ all the more attractive. Finally the fourth horseman rides out (v.7), bringing disease and death to the people of God. Deprived, oppressed, and mistreated, it would almost appear that the prayer to “Come” is disastrous to the people of God. But then the fifth seal is broken. -And so we read in verse 11, “Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.” This is how God will accomplish His purposes; through those who sacrificially do His will even unto death. -Jesus will come back. The prayers of God’s people and the four living creatures will finally be answered. According to Revelation 6:11, it is when the last martyr has been killed; the last witness has been slain because of his/her testimony. Then God will say, “It is finished!” (16:17), the gates will be closed, heaven will be sealed, and Christ will return to judge the world. This is seen with the breaking of the sixth seal in 6:12-14. Notice that with this broken seal, as with the previous five, there are prayers being uttered, but this time the prayers ushered forth are from those who have participated in opposing God’s purposes. Rich and poor, powerful and powerless, slave and free, they, like Adam, attempt to hide from the One they opposed.[ii] As creation dissolves into chaos at His coming, they cry out “Who can stand in the day of God’s wrath?” The answer is found in the next chapter; only those who belong to the Lamb are able to stand (7:3)! While the Church may seem to be wounded and bleeding in this world, those wounds are, like those of the Lamb; evidence that Christ’s kingdom is, indeed, coming (Matt. 6:10). -In Acts 1:3, Luke introduces his account by informing Theophilus that in the time between Jesus resurrection and His ascension, Jesus gave commands to His disciples and "presented himself alive after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God" (Acts 1:1-3). In Luke 24:13-35, he recounts how Jesus met up with two of His followers on the road to Emmaus, probably heading away from Jerusalem to a place of safety. Jerusalem had become a hostile place for the followers of Jesus. They had witnessed the crucifixion of their Lord, and despite reports that Jesus had risen from the dead, they obviously had their doubts. They decided that it was time to move on before the followers of Jesus were tracked down as well. -As they traveled to Emmaus, Luke records that these two unidentified disciples found themselves engaged in conversation with a fellow traveler about the events that had just taken place in Jerusalem and how Jesus had been killed. The traveler listens to them explaining what they had heard and gone through. Finally he interjects, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" (Luke 24:25-26). -With that as a basic outline, - suffering followed by glory – He walked them through the entire story of Scripture (verse 27). With Christ at the centre of it all, the events in Jerusalem began to make sense. The Servant of God had to suffer in order to be glorified. -When the disciples were finally allowed to realize that it had been Jesus, Himself, who had been speaking to them, they raced back to Jerusalem to report to the other disciples what they had experienced. There they found them in a barricaded room, obviously in fear of their lives. -As the two disciples recount how Jesus spoke with them, suddenly Jesus appeared in their midst. In verse 45, we read that He opened their minds to understand the Scripture, "and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem ( Luke 24:46-47). -Christ’s suffering and rising from the dead was to be shared worldwide. It could not be restricted to one group in one room in one city. The global expansion of the gospel would start with them in Jerusalem, but it would not end there. -During the next thirty-nine days, we read in Acts 1 that Jesus went over the theme of the kingdom of God many times with His disciples. He stresses in verse 4 that they are not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for the promised Holy Spirit. Telling people not to leave town may seem like a strange way to launch a worldwide missionary movement. -Acts 1: 8 reads, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." -The first seven chapters deal with the spread of the gospel in Jerusalem. Chapters 8:1-11:18 record how the message of Jesus is spread throughout Judea and Samaria. Starting in 11:19, the focus is the spread of the gospel to the "ends of the earth". When Luke’s account ends in chapter 28, it does so rather suddenly as if to emphasize that the story is not complete; we, the readers, continue the mission. It is clear that Luke’s focus in chapter 28 is not on Paul’s fate but the progress of the gospel. The book does not close with the end of Paul’s life or martyrdom but with Paul, "proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance." These last words stand as an encouragement for all followers of Christ to do the same as the gospel continues to be carried "to the ends of the earth." -The spread of the gospel, however, begins in Jerusalem. This begs the question, "Why? Why was this necessary? Why did the proclamation of the gospel have to start in Jerusalem?" Before we address this question, however, we need to put aside three inadequate explanations that are sometimes proposed. -First, the gospel did not begin in Jerusalem because it was home to the disciples and thus they would find a more ready or receptive audience. Jerusalem was not home for any of the disciples. They were from Galilee, not Jerusalem. The angels in Acts 1:11 addressed them as "Men of Galilee." The people of Jerusalem could easily pick out the disciples by their Galilean accents, even in the dark (cf. Matt.26:73, Luke 22:59). Regional prejudices would not have made Galileans the most suitable messengers for the more urbane citizens of Jerusalem, nor would the disciples have felt at home in the city. Their home was in the smaller towns and rural areas of Galilee. -The reality is that there was only one beginning of the gospel. In God’s history there will never be another subsequent Pentecost point. Every later initiative is a down-line fruition of that outpouring and obedience. We are now in the "the uttermost parts," not repeating the scenario reaching of "our-own-Jerusalem." Acts 1:8 is a geographical reference as much as it is a historical one. -Secondly, the spread of gospel did not begin in Jerusalem because it would be the safest place to start and the disciples would be able to get experience in witnessing before moving on to more difficult or resistant areas. Rather the opposite was true. The most dangerous place on earth for the disciples to start their ministry was in Jerusalem. Avowed enemies with the power to throw them in prison had tried to arrest them in the garden of Gethsemane only days before (Mark 14:50-52; John 18:8-9). They would likely try again. -Thirdly, Jerusalem was not chosen to be the starting place for the spread of the gospel because the city was familiar territory for the disciples where ministry experience would prepare them for more unfamiliar ministry later on. Looking at the gospels, one finds that Jesus and His disciples spent relatively little time in Jerusalem. The urban setting of Jerusalem was unfamiliar to the rural Galileans. As noted earlier, there was a regional rivalry between those of Jerusalem and those of Galilee. Neither thought overly fondly of the other. Had Jesus wanted the disciples to start in more familiar territory to gain experience, He undoubtedly would not have chosen Jerusalem. Besides, the disciples were hardly novices to ministry. They had spent over three years with Jesus. He had sent them out on at least two mission trips already. They were fully prepared apart from one thing: they lacked the Holy Spirit. -The implications of this promise [i.e. Acts 1:8] are enormous. First of all, it tells the disciples that they will not be alone in the battle; the Holy Spirit will be in them and with them. Secondly, it makes them aware that this battle is actually not their own; it is God’s initiative and God’s action and concern. They are His ambassadors, fully endowed with His authority and power. Thirdly, whatever they will achieve will be God’s achievement, because God’s Spirit has acted through them. -Jesus spoke seldom of the Holy Spirit’s function, but when He did so, frequently described Him as helper and comforter in persecution (Matt. 10:17-20; Mark 13:9-11; Luke 21:12-19). No wonder that Paul follows the Lord’s example in his catalogue of his sufferings by attributing his endurance to the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 6:6). In Philippians 1:19, he writes, "For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ." He reminds the Thessalonians, that "ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost" (1 Thess 1:6-7). -Second, Jerusalem was God’s appointed starting place for the spread of the gospel because there were considerable missiological and theological reasons for doing so. While some might argue that the disciples might have drifted back to the comfort zone of their homes in Galilee had they been allowed to leave Jerusalem, I think it more likely that Jesus' instructions were more missiologically and theologically oriented. Jerusalem was the centre of monotheistic worship on the globe. It was the focal point of God's covenant with mankind. Christianity needed to be seen to be in continuity with what had gone on before in God’s plan, rather than being potentially labeled as a Galilean sect. -The ultimate reason for the collection project rests upon the fact that Paul was constrained by prophecies which spoke of the nations coming to Israel to worship its King (cf. Is. 60:4-14; 66:19-24; Ps. 72:8-11). As a result of seeing believing Gentiles coming to Jerusalem (Acts 20:4 with 21:15-19), Paul hoped that Israel would be provoked to jealousy so that it might repent and accept Jesus as its Messiah (cf., Rom. 10:1; 11:11-24). Accordingly, Paul’s priestly gift is the Gentiles themselves (Rom. 15:16) to verify that the God of Israel had also become the God of the Gentiles and that there is now only one people of God comprised of all nations (Gal. 3:28-29; Eph. 3:4-6). -Hence, Paul was careful to make sure to emphasize the continuity between Jerusalem and how God had worked in the past, with the present spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth among the Gentiles. The latter was a result of the unfolding plan of God begun with the Jews, fulfilled in Christ and proclaimed through the Church. -I maintain that this is why the disciples stayed in Jerusalem, just as they had been instructed. When the Spirit came upon them, they immediately began to witness publicly, despite the risk. When persecution came, they did not scatter. They remained in Jerusalem where it was most strategic – and the most dangerous. -They were arrested, shamed, beaten, censured, but they continued. Eventually, one of them, James, was killed (12:2), but even then they remained, refusing to flee. They made no attempt to hide themselves. They knew that for the gospel to spread most effectively, they needed to remain in Jerusalem. It was only after an angel broke Peter out of prison and told him to leave, that he finally found a safer place out of town, but there is no indication that the rest of the apostles left or that Peter stayed away any longer than was necessary. -Were the disciples being disobedient to the commission of Christ by staying in Jerusalem? I do not think so. They were being the catalyst by which the Church, itself, spread throughout the world. They were busy laying the foundations for a movement that would shake the known world of their day. -They worked in ways that consciously served to advance the spread of the gospel (Acts 6:4). They monitored carefully the expansion of the gospel and when they heard of the gospel advancing, they moved immediately to validate, bless and support it (Acts 8:14-25; 11:22). When it became clear that the churches had multiplied throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, Peter, himself, toured the entire region, helping the Church to increase (9:31-32). It was during this time, that God used him to share the gospel with the Gentiles in the house of Cornelius, demonstrating that God accepts all people into His family, regardless of race. Because the disciples were faithful in remaining in Jerusalem, despite the risks, they were in a position to walk through the door that God had opened to all nations. -What are some of the common themes that come out of this survey? -Persecution provides more opportunities to witness. -When they fled, the disciples did not go "underground". They continued to preach. In Acts, witnessing is always public. -Opposition inevitably followed the preaching of the gospel. While persecution does cause the Church to scatter in Acts, thereby spreading the gospel, it would be a mistake to conclude the relationship between persecution and church growth is best defined thus. The testimony of Acts is not so much that persecution causes church growth but that church growth and the spread of the gospel tends to cause persecution, as religious and political leaders rise up and try to stop this movement that has "caused trouble all over the world and has now come here" (Acts 17:6). -Persecution came from various sources and in a variety of ways. The explanation for why the believers were persecuted in the book of Acts cannot be traced back to one single reason. - 24:16 indicates that the disciples were kept from recognizing Him and 21:30 speaks of their eyes being "opened." No fault should be laid on the disciples for failing to recognize their Lord. - Steven Hawthorne, "Acts of Obedience" in Perspectives on the World Christian Movement: A Reader 3rd edition. William Carey Library, 1999:126. - Josef Ton, Suffering, Martyrdom and Rewards in Heaven. University of America Press, 1997: 315. - cf. Günther Bornkamm, "The Letter to the Romans As Paul's Last Will and Testament" in The Romans Debate. ed. Karl P. Donfried. Augsburg Publishing House, 1977: 19. Bornkamm: 18-19 also makes the astute observation that Paul was obviously concerned that the Jewish Christians might not accept this collection and accept such a demonstrate of unity between Jew and Gentile in the church and so he asks for the Roman church to pray that that his service to the saints in Jerusalem would be acceptable to them (15:31). - Christopher Little, "Whatever Happened to the Apostle Paul?" Mission Frontiers, September 2001: 27. - This concept was first introduced to me by Vernon J. Sterk in his article "You Can help the Persecuted Church," International Journal of Missionary Research. January 1999: 15-18, as he discussed the growth of the Church in the Mexican state of Chiapas. His field research and doctrinal dissertation on the dynamics of persecution led him to conclude that 1) the acceptance of the gospel message leads to persecution, and 2) persecution negatively affects the growth of the Church. However, he notes, the damaging effects can be minimized through an adequate preparation for, and proper response to, persecution. He also notes that an essential part of that response must be the prayers and involvement of the worldwide Church. On a personal note, my research on the biblical theology of persecution and discipleship has been born out of a desire to help prepare the church for and in persecution. -19/06/2014 · Today the average American’s health insurance payments fluctuate once a year.

The PA salary increase, which rose by $13,000, was slightly higher over the two-year span. -Last year, the average full-time nurse practitioner earned a salary of $98,817 while the average full-time physician assistant earned $107,268. The results from the survey showed that hourly wages for PAs were the only ones that slightly decreased. -If the overall expectations for NP and PA salaries remain constant, then both are on their way to being extremely financially-rewarding professions in the healthcare industry. -NP PA Recruiters is a full-service healthcare staffing company committed to keeping employers and career seekers informed with up-to-date industry information. Whether you are searching for a new career or are trying to fulfill your staffing needs, our consultants are available to help you achieve your goals. -Although the official language of Jamaica is Standard English, many Jamaicans also speak Patois which is a separate dialect/language. Jamaican Patois (also known as “Patwa”, “Patwah” or “Jamaican Creole”) is the language that is used by most Jamaicans in casual everyday conversations while Standard English is normally reserved for professional environments. -"Jamaican Patois is a separate language from Jamaican English." -Jamaican Patois is a strange language in that it has many borrowed words from many different languages, for example, English, Spanish and some West African languages. However, the pronunciations of these words are very similar to Jamaican English. One thing to keep in mind as you learn Jamaican Patois is that it is not a strict, rule-oriented language where there is a "right way" and a "wrong way" to say things. Some words can be pronounced and spelled differently but still mean the same thing (e.g. both ‘Pickney’ and ‘Pickeney’ translates to ‘Child'). The important thing is whether or not what you are saying can be understood. -It's actually quite difficult to acquire the accent of a Jamaican, unless you've lived in Jamaica for many years, and even then, speaking patois fluently is not guaranteed. But with a little practice, you will be able to have at least a basic understanding of Jamaican Patois. -Let us now take a look at some of the grammatical features of Jamaican Patois. -Sentences in Jamaican Patois are built like English sentences in that, there is a subject, a predicate (or verb), and an object. However, there is no subject-verb agreement in Jamaican Patois. The verb does not change with the subject. Let us look at the table below. -However, in Jamaican Patois a word can be pluralized by adding 'dem' to the end word or, inserting 'nuff' or a number at the beginning of the word. -There is no differentiation in the use of pronouns to show gender. The pronoun 'im' can mean both or either 'he' or 'she'. -There is no distinction between subject and object. -The copula is a connecting word; for example, in Jamaican Patois the copula is the letter 'a' which is used for the particle as well as for the continuous tense. -In Standard English it is never acceptable to use double negatives such as 'nobody does not'. However, in• Jamaican Patois double negatives are accepted. -By now you probably have a basic understanding on the differences between Jamaican Patois and Standard English, for a more detailed guide, you can check out our how to speak Jamaican Patois series. -Emeritas Kerr and his Tocs Borderers patrol are ambushed by Yordist insurgents whilst on patrol. -Emeritas Kerr began the morning patrol as he always did, with a long forward drop of his well-muscled, tattooed right arm. As the other three Tocs Borderers took their intervals in the snaking Indian single file line behind him, Kerr wondered if they were going to be hit today. Other patrols had taken a walloping in the past month. He and his men had been lucky so far. -Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) created from scavenged military munitions, mines, old fashioned dynamite or in some cases a few hundred pounds of fertilizer, easily found on the surrounding farms outside of the city. Bomb making had seemingly become a fashionable hobby among the remaining Yordist insurgents left behind ensuring the populace remained stirred up and unable to make a normal life for themselves. -The squad sighed with relief as one as they rested packs against the cool shady wall of the fountain. It’s bubbling water cool and tranquil to the mind. Kerr filled his pipe and kept watch on the rooftops and alleys as his lads drank water, smoked and hurriedly wolfed down a bit of cold ration. His squad’s chosen man, Craig Cormier, silently chewed on a dry cracker topped with some sort of meat paste as he watched the locals moving by them as they sat. He would bring up the rear of the formation when they moved out on the second leg of the routine patrol. -These patrols never took the same route, they always changed, but this precaution was somewhat affected by the fact they had to always cover the same ground. Ground dictated by the confines of their current area of operation this made them vulnerable to sudden attack by a variety of different means. -The ten minute respite passed all too quickly. -“Off and on! Time ta earn yer pay.” Kerr commanded his Borderers. Once again the patrol paced its way along the street, the crowd thinning as they went, until there were only a very few civilians around them. Kerr tensed, his senses on edge as he noted this. Sometimes in Yordist friendly areas the civilians were warned of bad things about to happen. Passing a short row of vendors carts Chosen Man Cormier was startled to see one of the brightly coloured cart balloons seem to catch the breeze and break away from its fellows in the bunch. Cormier’s guts froze as he realized there was no wind! -Kerr felt himself get pushed to the ground by the blast wave before he heard the roar of the explosion close behind him. He tried to focus but his mind was numb. He was slow to react to the stinging chips of brick splattering his body as the incoming 9mm rounds chewed up the walls and suddenly he noticed one of them was, Cormier had charged forward towards the ambush point and was laying down covering fire and yelling for the others to pull themselves together and “Get a bloody move on!” There were civilians screaming and crying all around them as they scrambled to get out of the way of the fighting. The scene seemed surreal as while Kerr could see lips moving and weapons flashes, he couldn’t hear a single sound. -A copy of IAG001 Firefight 2.0 Killing Streets for the Firefight rules is necessary to play this mission. Also required are two squads of ION Age Muster miniatures. -This mission is for two players, with one player taking a Canlastrian squad of Mustermen out on a routine street patrol. -The other player commands a squad of Yordist Mustermen insurgents, out to destroy the Canlastrians by any and all means possible. -The objective of this mission for the Yordist is to kill every single Canlastrian mercenary, utilizing the surprise blast of a concealed Air Mine and a hidden ambush to do so. -The objective of this mission for the Canlastrian player is to survive the initial onslaught, recover and then destroy their attackers. See the special rules for this scenario. -A line of four street boards running North-South. It is flanked by buildings and alleyways. The alleyways are represented by 2x5 pavement sections. The Yordist player can place three Skimmers (1x2, DS2), two of the big cars (2x2, DF3) and one of the small cars (2x2, DF2) to represent market vendor’s stalls anywhere on the road edges. Then place 2 debris markers randomly on each street board (use 1D6 x 1D6 to determine square, just re-roll any sixes). -You have a 105 point veteran squad of Muster troops. One veteran Emeritas and three Privates, all armed with Moth Type VI Automatic Rifles. You may have four troopers armed with a Hobbes Bomb or two troopers armed with two Hobbes Bombs each. Place the Scouts on any of the P1 starting places at the south end of the battlefield. On game turn one, your patrol will move north with the intent of exiting the north end of the street on the other side of the battlefield. -There are no alternate options for this squad. -You have a 96 point squad of Muster troops. One Emeritas and three Privates, all armed with Moth Type VI Automatic Rifles. You may have up to two troopers armed with a Hobbes Bomb each or one trooper armed with two Hobbes Bombs. -You also have one Air Mine to place, before play begins secretly designate one Skimmer on the board to be your Air Mine booby trapped vendor cart. It’s placement will designate where your squad will deploy (details below). Its cost is included in the calculated total force points above. -Your forces do not start the game on the board. Once the Air Mine has detonated and damage calculated, immediately deploy your forces as follows: Place two men in the building across the road, opposite from where the Air Mine/Skimmer was initially placed, on ‘off-board’ squares adjacent to the road (see special rules for building details and the map for an example of where these deployment squares would be if the centre skimmer was the Air Mine). Then place a stolen 1x2 Skimmer, on any alley entryway of your choice (the front of the vehicle level with the road, example shown on map) at least 2D6 squares ahead of the place where the mine detonates. The Skimmer may immediately move up to 1D6 plus 1 squares, where the remaining two men get out of the vehicle and deploy behind it. Note that on the turn of deployment the Yordists may not move. They may use all of the normal Target Response Options although the two men by the Skimmer are down 1 dice on this first turn. From the following turn Initiative is rolled for as normal. -There are two special rules in use for this mission. Please read and apply it in your playing of Firefight for this mission. -1. IED – In this mission the Air Mine is used slightly differently to normal. As the Canlastrian patrol is the only one on the table at the start of the scenario, each turn before the Canlastrians move the Yordist player can move any one of the 1x2 Skimmers on the board 1 space towards the Canlastrians. He does not have to move the one with the Air Mine. He may detonate the mine on any turn he wishes before the Canlastrians move. Once detonated and damage calculated he then deploys his forces as above. This rule represents the Canlastrians belief they are moving through a marketplace, and are not expecting an Air Mine to be hidden in one of the vendors carts. -2. Buildings – The ‘off-board’ sections between alleyways are considered to be buildings. After the Air Mine has detonated and the Yordists deployed, the central square of the building they are in which faces each alleyway and the road are considered normal entrances into the building. It costs two general dice to move through. On the accompanying map an example of these entrances are shown, marked by green squares. The Yordists in the building are initially placed adjacent to the wall facing the road. They count as being in Hard Cover when being targeted, it does not affect them firing as per the normal rules. -This mission is part of the Pacification Firefight 2.0 Campaign Mission Arc, set after the fall of Bosworth IV, and should be played with other missions in the Arc in the correct order. -It may also be played as a stand-alone scenario, in which case it may be expanded by up to two squads of mustermen per side. Or you may try using Retained posts instead of mustermen, or a mix of Mustermen and the Retained to fight the scenario. It makes for a highly entertaining game. -This mission is the fifth of a series of missions in a Firefight 2.0 Campaign Arc which is meant to show the difficulties faced by an occupying force in a built up area in time of war. I have drawn upon the reports of recent military experiences in the modern age and have applied them to this mission arc. When the players have finished all of the missions, it is my hope they will be enlightened to the truly difficult job military personnel have when forced by circumstance and orders to occupy and garrison a city in a foreign land. -This mission introduces the guerrilla or ‘small war’ tactic of ambush, which the players will find to be a very deadly game for their soldiers. -In play testing this mission, my brave Tocs were able to recover and fight their Yordist foes to a draw twice in three games. The third game a number of fortunate rolls for the Yordist enabled them to wipe out the Canlastrians without losing a man! Such is the fickle hand of Lady Fate. -Everybody like to bowl right!!!

What are Bonds Good For? -What is a Termite Bond? What are They Good For & are Bonds Worth the Cost? ->> What is a Termite Bond? What are They Good For & are Bonds Worth the Cost? -Wondering how much is your termite bond? -You found termite damage to your house, went through the whole process of hiring an exterminator to inspect the damage, then had several treatments to take care of the problem. This shouldn’t be the end of your efforts to eradicate termites from your home, however, since a house with previous termite damage is likely to experience a recurrence of the infestation at some point in the future. -People in places like Alabama are fond of saying, “There are two kinds of houses: those with termites and those that will have them.” How can you keep up with extermination costs that potentially recur every year? Look into the benefits of a termite bond. -What is a termite bond? It is a contract or guarantee entered into between a homeowner/business owner and their exterminator. After a building is treated for termites, a bond ensures future inspection and treatment at no cost to the customer beyond the bond renewal fee. -Will the cost of the bond amount to less than the expected expenses should reinfestation occur? -Does the bond cover both inspection and full retreatment? -Will the bond cover any damages related to termites causing future damage to the house? -Are you in an area with different kinds of termites? If so, will a bond cover all types of termites returning in the future? -If retreatment is needed and the new infestation is more extensive, will the company cover measures beyond the initial service (i.e. if only liquid is used the first time will they cover fumigation in the future)? -In order to understand how a termite bond works, you should know the basics of the termite extermination process. The first step is a thorough inspection to determine the type of termite, location of the infestation, and the extent of the damage. All of these factors taken together will determine the method used. Serious infestations usually require fumigation. In fact, a lot of title companies require fumigation before a home with any kind of termite damage is sold to a new owner. Typically, termite fumigations take around three days to complete. -The basic termite bond should cover a yearly inspection and, if termites return, future extermination costs. Initial extermination may be as low as $1,500 for a small area and basic treatment, and a large home with a significant problem can cost up to $5,000 to treat. In the first case, a bond fee of $200 per year may not be worth it, especially if you live in an area with infrequent infestations. Wise Geek features a concise article on termite bonds that recommends comparing the annual cost of a bond with the price of re-extermination for your house. -You cannot assume a termite bond will cover any and all damages caused by future infestations. Some bonds are for extermination costs only while others promise to repair a limited amount of damages to your house if the termites return within a certain time frame. The kind of termite in your house can affect the bond as well, says Orkin; if the initial treatment was for one type of termite and another kind re-infests your house, the bond may not apply. This may also be the case if the first time you have an issue in your basement, for example, but the next time find termites on the outside of your foundation. -If you have questions about termites bonds because you are buying or selling a house, look closely at the bond’s transfer limitations. For buyers purchasing a home with a previous termite problem, make sure the bond can and is transferred to you as the new homeowner. This way you are not on the hook for extermination costs that should have been covered by the previous owner. You will, however, need to take on the responsibility of the bond’s annual fees to continue the contract with the exterminator. -As a home seller, you should invest in a bond to increase the chances you will sell a home with termite damages. Homeowners’ insurance does not cover termite damage– a reinfestation too soon after the sale of your house could leave you paying the new homeowners’ extermination bills. Savvy buyers may not even consider buying from you without a bond in place. With a transferable bond, you can hand off the agreement to the new homeowner, they take on the cost of the bond, and you don’t have to worry about the termites coming back to a home you no longer own. -If you’ve recently had your home exterminated for termites and did not arrange for a bond with your pest control company, you may want to contact them and see if you can still sign an agreement. If you are buying or selling a home with previous termite problem and don’t know have never heard of a termite bond before, definitely educate yourself and make a termite bond part of your home buying or selling process. Just make sure the terms are agreeable to you and the needs of your house. -In answer to the question, “What is a termite bond?” you could say simply it is a contract that guarantees future treatment if termites return. Another way to see it is an added form of insurance that protects the value and condition of your house and other buildings. You will need to decide for yourself if the continuing, nominal cost of a termite bond is worth it; many people who live in areas where termites are a constant problem and go through having to pay for termite extermination once see the value in it. -Introducing the Multi-Language feature of the new iScripts eSwap barter network software and iScripts SupportDesk help desk platform!

Your message is important. Create it once and keep it consistent. Branding, marketing and content can be the same quality for your total reach without compromising time or quality. Your website will appear in different search engines, to a different audience who will be typing in different search terms to find products and services that you offer. -SALES.

More traffic means more clicks. Similarly, more clicks mean more revenue. -COMPETITION. Are your competitors taking advantage of a multi-lingual site? If they are, they may be eating your lunch and capturing customers that you are not reaching. If they are not, you have the unique opportunity of offering your products and services to an entirely untouched market. -CREDIBILITY. Bring credibility to your site. Since professional language services are not cheap, having a website professionally translated to many languages brings credibility and respect to its owners. -It would be very nice to have a good translator on the sit. Unfortunarely, when I used these translators into Russian *my native language), the results were laughable. It was a source of a really good time for me and my wife.

Recently Ari has been plagued with claims that she is rude to fans, has a long list of ridiculous demands, and won't let photographers shoot her from the right side of her face—and Jessie wants you to know that those stories are far from the truth. -While at an appearance in NYC, Jessie J spoke with Us Weekly about working with Ariana and how she thinks some people mistake her passion for diva behavior. -"I've met Ariana," said Jessie, "And there's a very thin line between 'diva' and 'survival.' And a lot of people can't [differentiate that]—and I've had that. I've had the diva stuff. And it's when people can't cope with how passionate you are, and how much you care." -Clearly Ariana's passion is working for her, because she has been dominating the music charts. -"She's super talented, she's very young, and she's very sure of what she wants," Jessie continued. "I think she's wonderful. She's great." -A girl who knows what she wants and goes after it? There's nothing wrong with that! -Do you believe the diva rumors about Ariana Grande?

Please add if you know otherwise. -Hours after a lower court here sentenced him to five years in jail for a hit and run accident that killed one man in 2002, Bollywood actor Salman Khan was granted interim bail for two days by the Bombay High Court on Wednesday. -Salman’s counsel had moved the High Court for bail immediately after the sessions sentenced him to five years in prison in the case. -The bail means Salman will stay out of the Arthur Road jail for at least the next two days. -Earlier in the day, Additional Sessions Judge D.W. Deshpande had announced the verdict against Salman at a packed court here. -The quantum of sentence follows the court holding Salman guilty in the case and arguments between the prosecution team led by special public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat and the defence team led by Shrikant Shivade on the quantum of sentence. -Judge Deshpande found Salman guilty of most of the charges in the September 2002 accident in which one person was killed and four injured. -Earlier Wednesday, a scuffle erupted between Mumbai police personnel and some members of the large media contingent outside the court complex, as the latter were prevented from entering the premises. -Heated arguments between the agitated media personnel and police finally saw the security shutting the doors of the sessions court No.52 where arguments between the prosecution and defence lawyers were underway before Judge Deshpande. -Though officials remained tight-lipped, soon after sentencing Salman is likely to be taken into police custody and lodged in a high security prison. -Earlier reports said the judge would pronounce the sentence on Thursday. -Additional Sessions Judge D.W. Deshpande reading out his judgment said “All charges have been proved against the actor“. -“You were driving the car, without a licence and you were under the influence of alcohol,” the judge told Salman, who was present in the court. -The actor had earlier denied the charges and told the court that he was not driving the car. But the court rejected that statement. -On September 28, 2002, Salman’s vehicle Toyoto Land Cruiser rammed into a roadside bakery in Bandra West, close to his seafront home in Galaxy Apartments. Four persons sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery were injured. One of them later died. -Salman was arrested the same day by the Bandra police and given bail by a Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate’s court. -Rope Access is a much more cost effective technique than some traditional methods.

This was the second year at the Rozsa, following a dinner program last year. -“We’re really hoping this event will help build some momentum so that we can get enough people to help plan a Relay (for Life) for next year,” said Ann Collins, community development manager for the ACS. -The event honors cancer survivors. The survivors received a T-shirt, pin and flower “to really celebrate their overcoming cancer,” she said. -They also told survivors about services offering rides to treatment, or wigs available for people undergoing chemotherapy. The ACS also has Hope lodges, where people traveling for treatment in Minnesota or Wisconsin can stay free of charge. -Speaker Mary Zanoni, a survivor of acute myeloid leukemia, spoke about her story. She was diagnosed in 2011, when her doctor noticed something in her blood work after her annual checkup. About 20,000 people a year get it; only 20 percent live for one year. -After shrugging it off, she eventually came down with a severe flu. At the emergency room, the staffer’s eyes went “like that,” Zanoni said, holding her hands out to indicate eyes bulging in disbelief. On that ambulance ride to Marquette, she finally admitted to herself she had cancer. -The chemotherpay weakened her immune system. That caused a fungal infection, which doctors quickly caught. She still got fevers, going through a 24-hour cycle of freezing and sweating for two months. -Family and friends buoyed her spirits with love, prayers and healing thoughts. She received hundreds of cards and more than 2,000 emails. -She received a bone marrow stem cell transplant from two brothers. The brother she didn’t choose came to the hospital in case the other brother didn’t make it. -Zanoni has now been cancer-free for seven years. About a year ago, her doctor told her she was cured. -Angie Van Tassel, part of the “Women Living With Cancer” support group, was also on hand to give people information about cancer support groups. The group meets from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. the last Wednesday of the month, alternating between UP Health System — Portage and Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital. -Sometimes, there will be speakers, such as doctors or dietitians. -“A lot of the meetings lately, we just go to lunch, and they usually go around the room and have an update and let people talk if they want to share,” she said. -The group’s other recent groups include putting together “cancer kits” for patients, and a bake sale at Michigan Tech Federal Credit Union. -Van Tassel is also part of the Reach for Recovery program, in which she talks with people who have been newly diagnosed with cancer. -Donna Des-Jardin of Dollar Bay found out about the event on Facebook from Zisone. She would’ve liked to have seen a bigger crowd. Still, it was a good time, she said. -Events like the Day of Hope are important ways of giving hope to short-time survivors. Des-Jardin was diagnosed 32 years ago with uterine cancer. -Back in 1994. Samsung’s cell-phone quality was so hapless that its CEO burned inexpensive theoretical accounts in a company balefire. Today. it has the Galaxy S smartphone series. which touts state-of-the-art eyeglasses ( 1 GHz processor. 5-megapixel camera ) . It has sold more than 10 million units since its June introduction and has helped inch Samsung closer to unseating Nokia as the world’s top mobile-phone shaper. -The first of Samsung’s new merchandises announced at the keynote was the Exynos 5 Octa. the world’s foremost nomadic application processor to implement the ARM® large. LITTLE™ treating engineering based on the Cortex™-A15 CPU. Following the Exynos 5Dual. which is already on board of market-leading merchandises such as the Google Chromebook and Nexus 10. the replacement is the newest add-on to the Exynos household of application processors. -“The new Exynos 5 Octa introduces a whole new construct in processing architecture…designed for high-end smartphones and tablets. -As advanced treating power on nomadic devices accelerates easier informations creative activity by the multitudes. the nomadic experience will progressively go more dependent upon datacenters mostly responsible for the proliferating informations traffic.

Memory devices. the chief merchandises for waiters that make up these datacenters. can present significant additions by following cutting-edge engineering available from Samsung. -This is a great online color tester and designer. Unlike other hex code color testers, this application can also test hex colors on a selected background and guides you in color mixing. Type the color(s) in 3 or 6 digit hex code format eg. #173086, #138 or RGB numbers format eg. 23, 48, 134. Backgroud color is optional. Default value FFFFFF (white) is selected when no value supplied for bg color. (Note: no matter whether the symbol # is used in hex code or not.) The online color tester also helps you to select the harmonic color combinations. The complementary, triadic, analogous, split complementary, tetradic and square color schemes in the Color combining guide recommend you the best color groups for the two, three or four color design. You can also pick up the colors from the gradient scale, best brightness (lightness) level from tints or shades scale and the best suitable vibrance level from the saturation scale. Moreover you can pick the color you like from the random color palette generator. Color tester also shows you the negative and monochrome (grayscale) representation of selected color and the closest websafe color. You also find there the RGB and CMYK representations calculation. -Dummy text written in hex #173086 color on a background color. Text in color #173086 on the desired background color will look just like this. You just see the hex #173086 colored text written on a hex #FFFFFF color backgroud... Or you can't see, if you selected the wrong combination of colors :). The background color should be selected so that the intended #173086 text color is well visible on it. Alternatively, you can choose text color different than #173086 to achieve better text readability. It can be rounded to the 3 character hex code #138. The RGB values of the #173086 hex color are R: 23, G: 48, B: 134. In percentage it is Red: 9%, Green: 18.8%, Blue: 52.5%. The CMYK values of the #173086 hex color are C: 0.828, M: 0.642, Y: 0, K: 0.475. The nearest web safe color is #003399. Test of bold text in selected color. Test of italic text in the color.

We’re asking people to come back tomorrow. -“By the end of the week we hope to have assisted at least 600 – 700 people depending on how well Work & Income’s systems manage. -“MSD have put on over 30 extra staff for the impact, but ongoing computer breakdowns have slowed things down. -Next door to the Mangere Work & Income office. -We’ve all heard the beeping sound large trucks make when backing up.

Earlier this year fifteen individuals participated in a six-month Leadership Training program offered by our Executive Director, Paul Dann, Ph.D. The program helps participants to fulfill their potential through effective leadership skills training in areas like team building, decision making, qualities of good leadership and more. Our Leadership Series includes six sessions which begin with what is essentially a life long journey of exploring, understanding and refining our capacity to serve as leaders within the organization as well as the larger community. As a part of this we ask that everyone come to every session with an open mind and a willingness to learn from a personal as well as a professional standpoint. In addition to our six monthly seminars, the leadership curriculum calls for our attendees to engage in some reading as well as some activities in between sessions. -This year’s participants included: Jessica Clark, Kaitlyn Dutton, Judy Field, Lori Fortin, Bonnie Laughlin, Fran Lesnick, Amy Manchester, Devin McDonald, Molly McLean, Tom Mirando, Danielle Noyes, Randy Smith, Jean Tewksbury, Randy Whitman, and Allen Wilbur. -Congratulations to each of you for taking on this incredible commitment and investing in your future. BRAVO! -Headed over to the O.co Coliseum for the Oakland Raiders vs the New Orleans Saints. -The big "story" we were supposed to focus on was all the law enforcement after the unfortunate events at the Raiders at Niners game last week. -Photographed warmups as per usual for the only chance to get Terrelle Pryor as he serves a 5-game suspension. -Amidst controversy, Pryor wisely found representation from NFL agent, big shot Drew Rosenhaus, a great guy to have in your corner as a professional athlete. -Who is supposedly the character Jerry McGuire is based on... crazy!! -Game started, and Saints Mark Ingram scored a touchdown on their first drive. I thought uh oh, this is going to be a long game. -But Raiders answered with a touchdown of their own by Derek Hagan. -This worked out great for me because I'm supposed to send images after the first offensive drives of each team, nice that I could have touchdown photos in my first set, in addition to quarterback shots. -Back in the game Janikowski scored an impressive 57 yard field goal. If that is the range of your kicker and you still can't win games, you're in trouble. -Saints did a lot of damage in the end zone, finishing the game 40-20. Back up quarterback Chase Daniel, celebrating after a touchdown and two point conversion. -Though he certainly won't be beating out Drew Brees. -It was exciting to see Cal Bear Cameron Jordan in the big leagues playing defensive end for the Saints. -And of course had to get some cheerleader shots. -Also ran into a high school friend Tony at the game (far right) who had some pretty sweet seats. Always funny to think I'm hearing my name being called and have it actually be for me! -If you are my mother, stop reading this post now... if you are not my mother, check out this crazy photo of Montez Billings trying to leap over the cameraman! haha, gotta be quick on your feet! -** We'll never share your email address and you can opt out at any time, we promise. -An interview with Jon “Bernie” Bernstein, Director of Digital Marketing, Fifth Story. -Q. Bernie, can you tell us when and why you would use paid video to build remarketing audiences? -A. In case you are not familiar with remarketing, it is a way to connect with people who previously interacted with your website or mobile app. It allows you to strategically position or leverage your ads in front of these audiences as they browse Google or its partner websites, thus helping you increase your brand awareness or remind those audiences to make a purchase. -For some brands that are trying to find that “needle in a haystack” audience or an expensive-to-reach audience (like when there is lots of competition and many companies are bidding), using YouTube video pre-roll can help to define and build a remarketing audience in a cost-effective way and narrow down a hard-to-reach target. -Q. Can you give an example of this? -A. Sure. For example, if a drywall manufacturer/seller were trying to reach small-to mid-sized contractors and homeowner DIYers, we would run a targeted pre-roll video campaign on YouTube with specific parameters such as demographics, geo-targets, and interests in home, plus add in keywords such as home renovation, home building, etc. We would also run the video pre-roll within content-rich related environments, such as how to install drywall, basement renovations, and other similar content topics that would fit. The pre-roll for the drywall brand would run before the install/reno video content (usually longer-form YouTube content). -By selecting this type of target audience and content environment, we can reach an engaged, active audience that is looking to install the product or do similar reno work that could lead to drywall installation at a reasonably low cost per view. -For each viewer who watches the pre-roll for 10 seconds or more, we can add them to an audience remarketing list. This helps us develop a targeted list of people who have already shown interest in the product and engaged with the brand. Now we have a more niche marketing list of engaged people that can be reached at a lower cost. This is much more effective than a straight search campaign where you can reach engaged people, but at a high cost. Also, when people click on a remarketing ad, they are more likely to spend a good amount of time on the site since they have some familiarity with the brand/product by watching the video. -Q. What length of pre-roll would you run to build your remarketing list? -A. If the video is really informative and it relates to the subject matter of the main video content (what plays after the pre-roll), you can run a longer video. For example, a home building/renovation client ran a video as pre-roll about their home renovation product. The video targeted people who were interested in the renovation category. The average watch time was 1:14 minutes out of a 1:32-minute long video. That is an 86% average video watch time on a video people could have skipped after 6 seconds. -Q. Do you have any content or creative must-haves for pre-roll video? -The other must-have is a call-to-action to click on a website or call (on mobile) to get more information. They may not click if they really wanted to see the video after the pre-roll, but if you have pulled them in enough, you may get them to take action — if not now, at a later time. -Q. Can you explain a bit about cross-platform remarketing? -A. Once you build a remarketing list using YouTube, you can remarket to this audience using YouTube again with additional or sequential video content, or you can remarket to them using Google Display or Search Ads. The purpose of remarketing is to drive a specific audience back to your site to take action. -If you set up pixels from other platforms, such as LinkedIn or Facebook, you can also remarket to individuals on these platforms. For example, if you developed a broader remarketing list from YouTube of people who subsequently visited your website from a click on the video or a targeted remarketing ad, that will then trigger the LinkedIn Insight Pixel to fire. With this, you can then narrow the audience on LinkedIn down to profession, job title or association. This dramatically enables B2B marketers to reach very specific targets that are either impossible to get to directly or incredibly costly to reach. -To learn more about remarketing, please visit this blog post. -Fifth Story, 5th Story, News Canada, L'edition Nouvelles and News North America are either registered trademarks or trademarks of News Canada Inc. -This fall, Sue O’Malley brought her passion for healthy eating and gardening to Project Place. She is engaging clients in a series of workshops where she teaches nutrition and gardening. She also helps clients identify and access the fresh food resources available to them in Boston. In Sue’s last workshop, clients set up an herb garden on the 6th floor of the Project Place building. They planted chives, basil, lettuce, kale and Swiss chard from seedlings. The plants are currently growing on shelves of planting trays with growing lights. After the plants mature, the herbs will be used in Project Place’s kitchen, where lunch is served daily to clients and staff. -Sue has been involved in urban gardening for a little over ten years now. She started off working on school garden projects, where she came to realize how little the students knew about nutrition. These gardening projects opened her eyes to the disparities that exist in terms of nutrition education and fresh food access. She has since made it her mission to find ways to connect low-income populations with fresh produce. After visiting Project Place, Sue saw a perfect opportunity to get involved and provide additional resources to clients. Sue has donated all the materials used in the herb garden project, and is currently preparing for her next workshop. -On a proper construction of an agreement, which required a supplier of warehouse services to give credit to the user for additional business secured by the supplier in order to utilise spare capacity, the additional business did not include business conducted from an extension to the warehouse. -The appellants, a company (S) and a third party, appealed against a decision ((2008) EWCA Civ 1286)) that on a proper construction of an agreement, which required the respondent supplier of warehouse services (W) to give credit to S for additional business secured by W in order to utilise spare capacity, the additional business did not include business conducted from an extension to the warehouse. At one time all three parties had been subsidiaries in the same group. W had constructed a national distribution centre and had entered into an agreement with S to provide warehousing services at the centre to S. Later, W was demerged from the group and the centre became a multi-user site. Under a revised agreement between S and W, S agreed to put a minimum amount of goods through the centre annually, failing which S would be liable to make a volume shortfall payment to W. That payment was to be reduced to the extent that W secured additional third party business. Parts of S's business were then sold and the revised agreement was replaced by new agreements. A side letter provided that W should use reasonable endeavours to develop and secure additional business with a view to utilising spare capacity and throughput in the warehouse. By that time there was an extension to the warehouse at the centre. Unlike the original warehouse, which was a chilled facility and contained automated handling machinery, the extension was only partly chilled and had no automated handling machinery. A dispute arose when the threshold volume of goods under the agreement was not met and W claimed shortfall payments. The issue was whether the reference to the warehouse in the side letter was to the warehouse as originally constructed and not as extended. S contended that to have to distinguish between third party custom in two different parts of an integrated warehouse was uncommercial and unrealistic. S submitted that W had itself regarded all new business wherever it was sited within the extended warehouse as within the concept of additional business. -For the purposes of the instant appeal, it was sufficient to consider the third new agreement, the essential structure of which was the same as that of the revised agreement and, as was common ground, it was permissible to construe the new agreement and the side-letter against the background of that revised agreement, HIH Casualty & General Insurance Ltd v New Hampshire Insurance Co (2001) EWCA Civ 735, (2001) 2 All ER (Comm) 39 and Electrosteel Castings Ltd v Scan Trans Shipping & Chartering Sdn Bhd (2002) EWHC 1993 (Comm), (2002) 2 All ER (Comm) 1064 considered. Not only did neither the revised agreement nor the new agreement state that the warehouse services were to be provided in the extension to the warehouse as well as in the original warehouse, whether expressly or impliedly, but both agreements consisted of terms that only made sense on the basis that the services were to be provided only in the original warehouse. In particular, the original warehouse was both chilled and automated, which were requirements of the services to be provided and governed the parameters of those services; the provisions in the agreements repeatedly reflected the size and capacity of the original warehouse; a growth in S's requirements which would put a strain on that capacity would require fresh agreement, and for that purpose the extension and alternative sites were spoken of as pertaining to the same subject matter but that was entirely opposite to the proposition that warehouse included the extension; there were detailed provisions in both agreements for material change in either services or charges without any reference to the extension; and it was further significant that the revised and new agreements addressed the new situation created by the demerger of W and its pursuit of new third party business without reference to the extension. Also, the warehouse was not as integrated as suggested by S. The extension was only partly chilled and not at all automated. Different services suggested different customers. Further, as the judge had suggested, it was uncommercial that S should be entitled to participate, where a volume shortfall occurred, in the profits generated by the extension without any contribution to the cost of the extension, which would be borne entirely by W. Those considerations made a powerful case that the reference to the warehouse in the side letter was to the warehouse as originally constructed and not as extended. -March 30, 2016 - The International Society of Automation (ISA) and its Strategic Partner for Calibration, Beamex, Inc., announce the opening of attendee registration for Calibration Best Practices: Interactive Workshop, which will be held Thursday, 18 August 2016 at the Space Center Houston in Houston, Texas, USA. -The jointly sponsored workshop will explore the latest insights, trends and best practices for process plant technicians and engineers seeking to improve calibration quality, safety, accuracy and efficiency.

Elviria Hills is one of the most sought after communities on the east coast of Marbella. Overlooking the golfcourse towards the sea, this penthouse has one of the best views of Elviria Hills. It consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The spacious living has een open plan kitchen and it’s nicely furnished. -The Chapel was completed in 1874 under Mother Xavier Maguire's directions and forms part of the old convent. As Archbishop Goold was absent in Rome, the ceremony of Opening and Blessing the chapel was performed by the Rev Dean Fitzpatrick on May 24th 1874. -The Chapel is a beautiful example of a 19th century Gothic revival architecture. Built between 1872-1874, it involved a number of architects in it's design. The original drawings were undertaken by John Bourke of Dublin. Major alterations of these drawings were made by William Wardell and sent back to the Mother House in Dublin, by Mother Xavier. Other changes to the plans were made by Mr T. A. Kelly, of Melbourne who was contracted to build the chapel. No evidence is available as to why the redesigning took place. The stonemasons who originally built the chapel were brought out from Ireland. The side chapel was added in 1877, the architect being Alexander Davidson. -In 1905 under the guidance of Mother Evangelist Doogan, the sanctuary is beautified and a gothic altar is commissioned by Reid, Smart and Tappin and made by Jaan Kannuluik an Estonian craftsman. After Vatican II, the altar was brought forward so that the priest performing mass could now face the congregation. Sometime after that in 1966 a decision was made to remove the central supporting pillar that divided the main chapel from the boarders' side chapel as the Sisters felt that the pillar obscured the girls' view. -Forty five years later, in 2010 the Chapel was suffering from extensive cracking in the sanctuary walls, which was always thought to have been caused by drought. When a gang of cockatoos moved into the slate roof and started to destroy it, structural engineers were called in and it was found that the structure had been put at risk by the pillar's removal. For two years the chapel was closed while the pillar was reinstated, the slate roof replaced and the interior, including the highly decorative paint work was completely restored. -The 128 year old George Fincham organ, has recently had a facelift, with the pipe facade being painted and gilded in a beautiful gothic design by Mulholland Restoration and decorating. -The organ was presented to Mother Regis Manly, the director of music in the chapel, by Mother Mary Gabriel Sherlock in 1886. Fincham’s two-manual and pedal organ has a french console disposition with the player’s back to the pipe facade, which is set in gothic wood panelling. The whole instrument is set in a west-end gallery with a projecting balustrade for the console. -The organ was refurbished for it’s 100th birthday by George Fincham and Sons, descendants of the original George Fincham, who have maintained the organ since it’s installation and continue its care. -"X has a bone to pick with Arcadia's political kingmaker Berkshire, and the two share some ""face time.""

The good news is YES! -Wednesday 1st July is the day, in its usual slot at 10am. It will continue right though the summer until the end of September; I’m really looking forward to bringing you a selection of outfits from a variety of brands and helping you get the best out of QVC fashion again. -One thing that is important, whatever your style, is getting the basics right. That can mean choosing underwear that helps rather than hinders the finished look. There’s a reason the old fashioned term for these clothes is foundation garments – get it wrong and your entire look can be undermined, but with the right shape wear underneath you can look better than ever. -Choosing shapewear is notoriously difficult – getting the correct size, shape and style can sometimes seem little better than guesswork, so we’ve decided to bring you a new show to help you make the right decisions. -Your Figure Solutions will be launched on Wednesday 27th May at midday. Not all the clothes are underwear as we’ll be featuring a variety of pieces. The show will feature innovative solutions to some of your swimwear problems, leggings that smooth and sculpt, and possibly the most comfortable bra ever! -If you’re thinking about a holiday you have planned, and how you don’t feel quite as confident as you’d like by the pool or on the beach, you should tune in to hear about how Fit 4 u’s swimwear deals with body concern areas – usually bust, tummy, hips, bottom or thighs – or all of the above!! An empire-line swim dress is one of the piece that’ll be featuring. -Rhonda Shear’s Ahh Bra will also feature – a fabulous pack of six in three neutral colours for under £50. It has great reviews on our website. -A name you may have heard as they’ve been with QVC for years is Slim ‘n Lift. They make some great control wear that can help you lose inches from your chosen area. It’s a temporary loss, of course, but what I always find amazing is that the extra flesh doesn’t pop out anywhere else – it seems to be compressed by the garment, rather than just squeezed elsewhere, which gives the bonus of feeling firmer too. But it’s not just about underwear – we also have a funky pair of shaping leggings in snake or animal print which I’m hoping to wear on the day, but you’ll need to tune in to see them. -We will be kicking off the show with a relatively new name to QVC and that’s skinnytees. This is a classic vest top that feels fantastic to wear. It’s made from a soft stretchy fabric and is seamless and long enough to wear over leggings. When I took part in the charity Moonwalk with TeamQVC last weekend I wore it under my decorated bra (they prefer us to wear just the bra but my tummy is not fit for public viewing!) and it was the prefect choice. Comfy and with a smoothing effect too. Here’s a photo of us all before we started the walk. -I think controlwear or shapewear can be tricky to get right. It can be uncomfortable, ride up or down, make you feel too hot or simply not do the job you want. You can choose a high level of control or something that just smooths your silhouette; something to hide under your outer garments or to show off as part of your outfit. There’s so much choice, where to start? -If you have any questions or concerns about what sort of shapewear is right for you and your particular issue or aim, do please drop me a quick line as a comment below or on Twitter (@kathytaylerqvc). I will be welcoming several guests to the new show and I will put your questions or problems to them and hopefully they will have some answers for you that may help many of us. -I do hope you can join us – midday on Wednesday 27th May. See you then! -Great to see the Morning Style show is coming back!! Looking forward to the shapewear shows, as you say get the underwear right and the outfit wil look great too. I love the spanx range and also vicela Vita. -I will be tuning in for both morning style and the shapewear show!I Find shapewear shopping tricky. I what something that will smooth out my lumps and bumps but but I don’t want to feel uncomfortable after half an hour ! Any suggestions Kathy! -Hi Jilly. Good to hear from you. We won’t be featuring Vercella Vita or Spanx in tomorrow’s show but I think you might like some of what we have lined up. Hope you can join us! -Hi Susan. How are you?! Thanks for the youthful comment – I certainly didn’t feel it at the end of the might, but the hat helped keep me warm! -Thanks for your comment. I agree with you – I can be desperate to get out of some control wear however good it makes me look. We will be address the balance between compression, smoothing and comfort tomorrow so I do hope you’ll join is. Hopefully we can help you choose something suitable for you. -Good news re Morning Style! -The skinny tees are brilliant. I have them in all the colours including the new 4! What I really love about them is that stop trousers etc that are a little loose slipping. They are much more comfortable than wearing a belt! Can we please have more of the dark colours – I love them all but the white ones are pretty unforgiving with nothing else on even if you are slim! But the dark ones are extra good. -Also, more of the vercella vita crop tops. There must be a really strong demand as they always sell out within minutes of going to air, and they are rarely put up before the show ( presumably as they would sell out too quickly!) There are loads of longer vest tops but no crop tops online almost all the time. Doesn’t that say that you need to get more of them!! Especially in the summer. -Linda McCluskey’s scrapbook of memories is forged from oil paint and brush strokes. -Many of the images are familiar — Middle Street, The Worthen, downtown canalways — places you might have passed a thousand times. But when McCluskey reimagines them on canvas, the familiar begins to stir. -Brick and mortar. Cobblestones and canals. All bend, curve, twist and turn. You can almost hear the music. Feel the energy. It’s an invitation to step inside McCluskey’s world, where cityscapes seem to breathe. -Lowell, after all, is where she found inspiration to pick up a paintbrush again at age 40. Her success as a full-time working artist in Paris is proof, she says, that it’s never too late to pursue a dream. -Slogging along the daily grind, McCluskey’s art supplies ended up in boxes in a basement. She carried old photos of her favorite works with her as a reminder from time to time of who she was before becoming a mom, a wife and a cubicle dweller. -Sometimes life holds up a mirror and forces you to take a long hard look. Maybe it was the milestone, but McCluskey recalls her 40th birthday jogging something awake inside her. -And just like that, she put her dreams in action. With her kids Jake and Carly all grown up, she enrolled in college courses at UMass Lowell. Back at school, she travelled to France for a painting workshop and fell in love with her life all over again. -She was the happiest she had been in a long time, then tragedy struck. Her partner of six years, Ed McCabe, was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2001. -“I felt like my life was over,” McCluskey admits. -But in the shadow of her grief, she managed to find a sliver of light. -A close friend told her not to focus on the long and rolling highway. Follow the little paths life offers up instead. With nothing left to lose, McCluskey moved to France in January 2002. She was 44. -Picking up her brushes and paint again, she was reborn. Enter Linda McCluskey, the artist. Paris gave her freedom to rediscover and reinvent herself. -“In Paris, if you say you’re a painter, people don’t ask, ‘what do you really do?’ ” she explains. -In 2004, a move into a 6th floor studio overlooking St. Germaine Boulevard gave her a new perspective. Being a “country girl” born and raised in Chelmsford, she had never lived up so high. -The scenes unfolding on her canvas were well painted but still focused on proper form, until a trip to surrealist painter Salvador Dali’s beloved village of Cadaques in Spain pushed her brush in a whole new direction. -The natural beauty of Cadaques inspired Dali and the way he interpreted that on canvas brought attention to the region. Taking in the breathtaking view from a hillside, McCluskey did a Dali-esque painting of the village and the church melting over the mountains. -“After painting traditional views for so long, this felt like freedom to play and make up the impossible,” she says. -It was the beginning of McCluskey’s imaginative “distortion” pieces, and she gained recognition as a unique artist in Paris and in Lowell. -She returns to Lowell each year for inspiration. -Where Middle and Palmer streets intersect. -She points to her painting of Lowell’s Middle Street, one of her favorite downtown spots. -Today she has her own studio at Paris’ 59 Rivoli — one of the top three visited galleries in France — where she was accepted for a permanent residency. Her advice to others: If you love something do it. -Chances are if you’ve been affected by cybercrime in the past year, you’ve been the victim of a banking trojan. Proofpoint’s latest quarterly threat report notes that over half of all successful email-based attacks were propagated by banking trojans (meanwhile ransomware, once one of the greatest threats to enterprises, came in at a mere .1% of total attacks). -This is no coincidence. Unlike the obtrusiveness of most ransomware attacks, where the attacker makes money by getting the victim to pay for the return of their files, a banking trojan is much more pernicious: infected hosts contribute to identity theft by quietly siphoning off sensitive information and login credentials, all the while using the host’s computing power to mine cryptocurrencies and send out spam emails in the background. -A look at Emotet, one of the most prominent banking trojan from the past 18 months, gives insight into the advanced and destructive nature that these attacks can wreak upon an organization. -Emotet, also known as Geodo, has been around for almost five years and started off primarily self-distributed through attempts at brute-forcing user accounts. Attackers would attempt easily-guessable passwords and those found from compromised sites that were sold or published on the darkweb. Instituting password requirements, password rotation, and password lock outs were enough to thwart most initial Emotet iterations. Recently, however, it has gained and maintained relevance by switching to phishing campaigns that use enticing emails and malicious payloads that resist detection and analysis. -An attack usually starts by a victim receiving an email from either a spoofed sender address or a compromised legitimate account. The email and link/attachment are usually themed as something the user would want to click on due to its urgent (invoices, shipping notifications) or contextual (tax season, holiday season) nature. Recent iterations of these malspam emails have a malicious link or macro-enabled Word document which launch when clicked upon, in turn running a PowerShell script that either downloads or runs an already-downloaded malicious payload. -Emotet is largely resistant to signature-based detection because it is polymorphic, meaning it will change its code in slight but meaningful ways every time it is downloaded. Attackers will routinely change the IP addresses and domains that the links and attachments will reach out to, further evading detection solutions. It can also frustrate analysts looking to study the malware because if it senses that it’s in a virtual machine, it won’t download or execute its payload like it would in a normal environment. -1. A spoofed email attempts to convince a user that their tax return transcript was emailed by the IRS, encouraging them to click on a malicious, macro-enabled Word document which would download the Emotet payload. -Emotet is also modular in nature, meaning attackers are able to customize the payload and specify their malware campaign to fit their particular goals. While it primarily delivers trojans that scrape credentials and mine Monero (a cryptocurrency that obscures the source, amount, and destination of its transaction), it’s able to release a host of other attacks into an organization’s network, including ransomware. Once a system is compromised, however, most variations will look to establish persistence on the machine its currently on and spread to more machines by using captured credentials and send out more malicious emails via the victim’s email accounts. -An organization affected by a banking trojan like Emotet could have their sensitive or proprietary information stolen or altered and could witness a disruption to their productivity, files, and reputation. In some cases the cost for the remediation of an incident caused by Emotet costs upwards of $1 million (according to https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA18-201A and https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/allentown-struggles-with-1-million/). -Purple Teams: Test yourself and inspect what you expect. Conducting a purple team campaign focused on the TTP’s that the Emotet campaigns use you’ll be able to create a defensive playbook to implement. -Email Defense: Help users discern a malicious email from a legitimate one by enabling DMARC and rules to mark external emails, which let your users know when an email is masquerading as an internal email. Security Risk Advisors encourages organizations to utilize an email defense platform that monitors and quarantines malicious emails at the gateway before a user ever sees that email. -Limit Macro Functionality: If a user clicks on an attachment and opens it, Emotet will attempt to run macros or PowerShell scripts to download payloads and establish persistence. By disabling auto-enabled macros and PowerShell for users that don’t need PowerShell, you limit the ability for an attacker to compromise a user’s endpoint via malicious attachment. -LSA Protection and Credential Guard: An attacker is going to want to escalate their privileges by gaining new credentials, oftentimes succeeding by dumping cleartext or hashed credentials stored in memory or a suspended VM. On Windows machines, you can prevent some of these credential attacks by enabling LSA Protection as well as Credential Guard within Windows 10. Both of these protections look to isolate credential processes that attackers love to exploit. While not bulletproof, both help to mitigate common credential dumping techniques. -Monitor, Alert and Hunt: Emotet will attempt to maintain persistence by creating other services and scheduled tasks that a user would never notice. Utilize built-in Windows functionality or a third-party application to monitor for scheduled task or service creation. Conduct threat hunting exercises on the network looking for previously compromised systems. -Quarantine and Investigate: Do your best to quarantine infected hosts from the rest of your network. Perform an investigation upon how the payload propagated and determine what variant it is. Depending on the variant, a simple restart after removing the malicious files could be enough to re-image the endpoint; others will require more serious changes, like backup restoration and the removal of current registry keys, startup items, or services. Security Risk Advisors recommends an EDR solution that will quarantine devices immediately upon detection of a malware infection. -Determine Blast Radius: Using your initial investigation, identify other hosts with similar activity and perform recovery upon those endpoints as well. Determining the vector of attack and the methods through which the attack propagated could reveal vulnerabilities in your architecture. -Reset Credentials: After devices have been successfully segmented and reimaged, make sure to reset accounts passwords for the hosts and applications that have been compromised. Don’t authenticate to infected systems with domain or shared local administrator credentials, as you could allow an attacker to gain further footholds in your network. -Implement Additional Monitoring: Continue to closely monitor those endpoints and your network as a whole for indicators of compromise gathered from your investigation and quarantining. Block those suspicious IP and domain addresses, hashes, macros, and filepaths that were found to execute during the attack. Seeing these still in your environment will be an indicator that a new infection has occurred or the old infection persists. -Emotet isn’t going away, but that doesn’t mean you have to fear it. By practicing common sense principles regarding email and web use, a phishing campaign can be stopped before a banking trojan reaches your network. -“When I received my diagnoses of thyroid cancer I went into total shock. I just closed down, I did not know how I was going to get through this difficult time, I did not know how the French health care worked and I did not speak French. -I telephoned Cancer Support France and asked so many questions; I was then given an "active listener”. -On our first meeting, we discussed my needs, my fears and concerns. The amount of help that I received was invaluable; my new friend came to see me every week. She attended hospital appointments and translated for me.

Vaccination is of particular interest, as it is regarded as by far the best tool to combat viral infection at the population level. -Genomic analyses of H5N1 isolates from birds and humans showed 2 distinct clades with a nonoverlapping geographic distribution. All the viral genes were of avian influenza origin, which indicates absence of reassortment with human influenza viruses. -Genetic and antigenic analyses have shown that, compared to previous H5N1 isolates, 2004-2005 isolates share several amino acid changes that modulate antigenicity and perhaps other biological function. Furthermore, our molecular analysis of the HA from isolates collected in 2005 suggests that several amino acids located near the receptor-binding site are undergoing change, some of which may affect antigenicity or transmisibility. -Despite the recent "Isolation of drug-resistant H5N1 virus," (Nature, 20 October 2005), the WHO Global Influenza team determined that recent isolates are "sensitive to 2 neuraminidase inhibitors that are recommended for prophylactic or therapeutic intervention against human infections." So obviously the specific details of which viral isolate one is working with determine its sensitivity to drugs. In the case of the drug-resistant strain, it was isolated in February 2005 from a Vietnamese girl who may have contracted the virus while she cared for her brother. Human-to-human transmission is supported by the girl's lack of contact with poultry and the fact that the neuraminidase gene from virus isolated from the girl was virtually identical to that isolated from her brother. Thus there are evidently drug resistant strains running around in the wild. -As far as I can tell, it just isn't yet clear how fast drug-resistance traits can spread. There is now at least a little data about how long it takes a particular viral strain to find work-arounds for vaccines. A recent initial effort to sequence many flu strains in parallel indicates that mutations that provide ways around vaccines can rapidly dominate a population of flu viruses. -Perhaps the most dramatic finding in our data is the discovery of an epidemiologically significant reassortment that explains the appearance, during the 2003-2004 season, of the 'Fujian/411/2002'-like strain, for which the existing vaccine had limited effectiveness. ...Phylogenetic analysis of 156 H3N2 genomes from our project revealed the clear presence of multiple, distinct clades circulating in the population. Through a reassortment event, a minor clade provided the haemagglutinin gene that later became part of the dominant strain after the 2002-2003 season. -This finding illustrates not only that the influenza virus population contains multiple lineages at any given time, but also that alternate, minor lineages can contribute genetic variation to the dominant lineage, resulting in epidemiologically significant, antigenically novel strains. It is worth emphasizing that our sequence-based sampling approach--in contrast to traditional serologically based sampling--will reveal co-circulating strains even before they become antigenically novel. -In other words, the authors assert that amongst viruses that we give the same name there is considerable variation that may be hard to distinguish using traditional techniques. Sequencing the genomes of many isolates can provide a map of how a population of viruses is changing in response to vaccines. Ghedin, et al., note that their work demonstrates significant change of the dominant flu strain even within the 2003-2004 flu season. That variation appeared to originate and then dominate the population of viruses within 12 months. -Which brings me to the core of this post, namely that we now have real-world data demonstrating that flu viruses can escape vaccines in less than a year, far shorter than the time it takes to produce significant quantities of effective vaccines. It is important to note that this is a different problem than producing a new vaccine for new annual flu strains every year. If a pandemic strain emerges, our problem is not planning ahead just far enough to deploy a vaccine for next year's strain, but rather to combat a strain already killing people worldwide. It took most of a year for the CDC and Sanofi to come up with a hypothetical H5N1 vaccine, and the new National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza contains the expectation of years to accumulate enough vaccine to be useful for large populations. Never mind that the existing whole virus vaccine may not be effective against a pandemic strain. -The fact that the minor Fujian-like clade has donated its HA to the previously dominant strain rather than itself becoming the dominant circulating virus indicates that there may be important amino acid co-substitutions in the other proteins essential for viral fitness. -...Even within a geographically constrained set of isolates, we have found surprising genetic diversity, indicating that the reservoir of influenza A strains in the human population -- and the concomitant potential for segment exchange between strains -- may be greater than was previously suspected. -We cannot think of the H5N1, or any other strain, as either a clonal population experiencing selection or as a bunch of individuals producing descendants that may accumulate mutations leading to a pandemic strain. Rather, flu viruses exists as elements of a population that appear to be constantly innovating and trading parts. This is a critical distinction, particularly in light of rapid human and avian intercontinental travel. Not only have we now learned that there is greater variation in any given set of geographically linked isolates, but because of human travel we can expect all kinds of novel parts to show up in populations that were otherwise isolated and appeared to be of no immediate threat. -The Ghedin paper doesn't necessarily teach us directly about the evolution of pandemic flu strains, but it does suggest our current plan for pandemic vaccination is not well suited for the problem at hand. -After studying synthetic vaccines for Bio-ERA, amongst other clients, I think DNA vaccines are the best bet for rapid response on a time scale shorter than flu strains seem to evolve. I've a draft paper on synthetic vaccines in for consideration at Biosecurity and Bioterrorism, and will shortly embark on another paper specifically about distributed manufacture of DNA vaccines. PowderMed is waiting for publication of their (already accepted) first paper on their plasmid vaccine for the annual flu and will be starting trials of an H5N1 DNA vaccine early next year. Unfortunately, it seems the folks in DC aren't taking this technology seriously, and instead blowing billions on developing cell culture production of whole virus vaccines. Even the folks who manufacture vaccines in cell culture acknowledge this will only cut a month or two off the response time. -View Full Information → Sydney, Stanley H. -Dianne (Morretti) Dingolo, of Saugus, the retired Principal of the Cheverus School in Malden, died Saturday morning at Lighthouse Nursing Care Center, Revere.

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri said the company has not done enough to keep people safe. -Mr Mosseri said Instagram would be removing the images, “as quickly as we can, responsibly”. Instagram currently relies on users to report graphic images of self-harm. -In addition to banning images of self-harm, Instagram said it will not promote non-graphic self-harm-related content like healed scars or through hashtags or the explore tab, though they’re not removing the content entirely as not to “stigmatise or isolate people who may be in distress and posting self-harm-related content as a cry for help”. -Mr Russell was buoyed by Instagram’s commitment, and in an interview with the BBC called on other social media to follow suit. -"The central issue in this debate is the belief in the existence of a Supreme Being. Julian Huxley, grandfather of Thomas Huxley and one of the foremost evolutionists of his day, was an unabashed atheist. He pointed out in 1959 that Darwin's real achievement was to 'remove the whole idea of God as the Creator of organisms from the spear of rational discussion' (Tax and Callender 1960, 3:45) The belief in a Supreme Being may at once be recognized as the one essential characteristic of a theistic religion. It is perhaps surprising , however, to find that the belief in a nonexistence of a Supreme Being is also considered to be a (nontheistic) religion. Thus, atheism was formally declared to be a religion by the United States Supreme Court in 1961, together with Buddhism, Ethical Culture, Secular Humanism, and others that do not teach a belief in the existence of God (Bird 1979). The Atheist Church of America and the American Ethical Union, for example, are both bona fide tax-exempt religious organizations." -I am preaching regarding a YouTube site entitled "Top 80 Best Short Atheist Quotes About Atheism and Religion" or "Best Short Atheist Quotes - Atheism & Religion" . I guess this is the best they have based on their words. Oh well! I try to deal with as many as I can in 30 minutes of my program. SO here it goes. By the way, there aren't any atheists. They don't exist in reality. -UGLYS Electric Motors and Controls Book FREE SHIP ! -UGLYS T-Shirt (Large) FREE SHIP ! -UGLYS T-Shirt (XXL) FREE SHIP ! -Amusing Fixtures Chrome Ideas Wall 8 Light Bathroom Fixture Lights Amusing Bathroom Light Fixtures Chrome Ideas Savoy House Fairfield Inch Wide Bath.

So legitimate email from ICIWorld can be trapped in your SPAM FOLDER. Yet each EMail contains information for contacts for potential real estate transactions.

If you have not done this before, you will probably find other mail that should not be spam. However marking mail as not spam does not seem to work all the time. Mail seems to continue to go to spam.

Powered by Akiba. -Hi my name is Dan Shipper I’m a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania and over the past 7 months I’ve been covered in TechCrunch (here), Mashable (here), TheNextWeb (here) and others for projects I’ve built both as a solo developer and with a team of my friends. -The absolute best way to get coverage from any media outlet is to know someone who works there, or know someone who knows someone who works there. Journalists, especially tech journalists, get pitched every single day by hundreds of people. Their inboxes are overflowing with emails talking about “amazing,” “world-changing,” “life-altering” startups. That means that your absolute best chance to get coverage for your project is to email everyone you know and ask them if they know anyone who writes for a big blog. Don’t be afraid to ask – the worst anyone can say is no. -If you don’t know anyone who knows anyone that writes for a tech site, don’t worry. Compile a list of every tech site you can think of, write a pitch and email all of them. The chances of success are low, but you may get lucky. This is how we got covered in Mashable. If you have a product with traction, excited users, funding, or a really good story you’ve just beaten out 90% of the other cold emails that these blogs get. The most important part is showing in your email that you have a great story to tell that would appeal to the blog’s audience. And keep it short – generally your emails won’t be read past the first few sentences. -We got on TechCrunch by creating a Twitter account called YC Y U NO and making fun of a bunch of YC startups. Seriously. Now, we had no idea when we did it at first that it would lead to getting on TechCrunch. We did it on a whim just for fun. But for some reason people really seemed to like the tweets we were coming up with, a bunch of YC founders started following us as well as a few TechCrunch writers. From there we DMed one of them and they agreed to write a story about us and our new project. -Get the names of some writers that you admire, or think would be interested in covering you and see if you have any LinkedIn or Facebook connections. I know a lot of people who use this as a first step in getting coverage. You might be surprised at how many connections you have that you didn’t know about. -A journalist isn’t going to risk their reputation or their site’s reputation covering an app, or startup that doesn’t have amazing design. If anything is even a little bit off with how your site looks, if it doesn’t look professional and current, they won’t cover you. The design doesn’t even have to be complex. My design for WhereMyFriends.Be which was covered on Mashable was actually really minimalist. But it has to inspire enough confidence from the writer to go out on a limb for. -I think the most important thing to realize is that it’s not some insurmountable feat to get coverage. Tech sites are run by real people too, and if you show them that you have a great story, and a great product your chances of success increase exponentially. Persistence doesn’t hurt either. -That being said, don’t pin your hopes on coverage. It’s a huge rush to get it, but the road to success doesn’t always start with TechCrunch and in fact often doesn’t. -A few days ago I put together a small app in Rails called DomainPolish. When I was finished with it I posted it to Hacker News. It made the bottom part of the front page for a little while – at one point there were as many as 30 people concurrently on the site. I waited for the sales to roll in. -None came that Friday night. On Saturday too, there was a fair amount of traffic coming onto the site but, still, no sales. Then Sunday came. It was about 4 in the afternoon and I was thinking about what kind of project I wanted to work on next. The first sale came in. I went nuts. Then another sale came in and I was happy as can be. I had set a goal for myself to make $5 that weekend and I had fulfilled it. And then the person who made the second sale emailed me. He wanted to write a blog post about the service. I said “Sure!” and waited to hear what he had to say. -Well the blog post came out in about an hour, and he loved the service! I was so happy. And then he submitted it to Hacker News. Suddenly I was getting emails left and right saying that I had made sales as it climbed the front page. By the end of the night the blog post had referred 1500 people. I had sold 32 plans. That’s cool. But what was even more cool was to look at how that conversion rate changed (and ultimately number of products sold went down) when I had far more traffic but without social proof. -Two days after the blog post I decided to write an account of my experience creating the site. After I wrote it I posted it to Hacker News. Soon the visitors were pouring in, and it stayed as the number one story for at least a few hours. By the end of the night my blog post had referred almost 3000 people – 49% more visitors coming to the site from my blog post, than from the blog post written by someone else. But the number of products sold from a blog post written by me was actually 50% lower than the number of products sold from a blog post written by someone else. When someone wrote about me I sold 32 plans. When I wrote about myself I sold 15 plans. -What does this say? Social proof matters. Your traffic will convert better if there’s someone credible on the other end saying they love your product. Ad campaigns and blogging about yourself are very valuable tools, but in the end they can’t compete with the power of social proof. -Hi my name is Dan Shipper and I’m a rising sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania. This is the story of how I created DomainPolish a site to get on-demand, inexpensive focus groups to review your website and ended up making $350 with it in two days. -It all started when we found out we had made it to the TechStars NY Wildcard Round. The way the TechStars Wildcard works is they take 10 teams who they really liked, but whose idea they weren’t fond of, and give them a week to come up with a new idea with the understanding that at least one of the teams will make it into the program. While we were deciding which idea we wanted to pitch to TechStars, my teammate Jesse Beyroutey (fantastic blog here) started using Amazon Mechanical Turk to get feedback about them. He would post a short description of the idea, and then ask the turks (as they’re called) to give us their thoughts. I was surprised at some the high quality comments we got, and I was fascinated by the power of the concept. There are a lot of awesome things you can do with a distributed, on-demand workforce of people gathered over the internet. -As much as teachers do all that they can to make their classrooms a place of comfort and security, for some students the school environment can be a stressful one. For a whole gamut of reasons, at some stage during their time spent at school, most kids experience some kind of school-related anxiety. Whether it be separation anxiety in the early years, anxiety about testing and assessment or social anxiety, the reasons are many but the negative effects often the same. Teaching mindfulness is one way that educators and parents alike can help to build the coping skills kids need when they are faced with challenging situations and environments. -Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention, on purpose, to the present moment (Grossman, 2016). It’s something that came so naturally to us as small children, when we could easily spend time silently mesmerised by a single ant wandering across the ground. Though it’s true that as we get older, as our understanding of the world grows wider and our minds subsequently busier, that time spent in silent wonderment doesn’t happen quite so easily. -Teaching children the conscious skill of mindfulness is an empowering one. The ability to stop, to centre ourselves, to notice what is happening in any given moment goes a long way towards self-regulation and self-awareness. For children who experience anxiety, whether situational or prolonged, having simple and familiar thoughts or actions to call upon during times of stress become important, lifelong skills. -Mindfulness is a superpower that everyone can have. To activate this superpower we only need two things, our mind and our breath. It is for this reason, and so many more, that teaching mindfulness to children is something that should be on every teacher, parent and carers’ radar. -With that in mind, here are some fun and simple ways to introduce the concept of mindfulness to young children. -This simple activity is a way to teach your child about “belly breathing”. Centering our thoughts and emotions through our breath is a wonderful self-regulation skill for everyone to learn. -Lay down on the floor beside your child and place a small soft toy, like the little wuppy®, or any other light-weight object such as a small bean bag or wooden block onto your belly buttons. -With your child, lay still and watch the toy move up and down as you both breathe in and out. -Talk with your child about what you notice. About how quickly or slowly the toy moves. -You can also count as your child breathes in “1, 2, 3” and breathes out “1, 2, 3”. -Another beautiful child-friendly reframing of a traditional mindfulness practice is to go on a Mindful Safari. -Take your child outside into nature and tell them that you are both going to go exploring. That you need to discover what creatures, plants and other natural objects are close by. -Tell your child to turn their sense of sight, touch and sound onto high. Remind them that they need to be so, so quiet that they can move around without scaring any little creatures away. -When you find a creature or beautiful object, pause and look at it closely for a while. -Signal to your child to remain quiet, putting your finger to your lips. They will love the adventure! -After some time spent observing in silence, quietly ask your child some questions. -The free Nature Scavenger Hunt Grid on the Teach Starter website can make your Mindful Safari a fun one. -Guided meditations are a great way to familiarise kids with the language of mindfulness and meditation. There are a number of fantastic apps with free guided meditations. Smiling Minds has great meditations for both children and adults, while Insight Timer is a fantastic free app for adults. -A “Breathing Colours” guided meditation introduces a simple visualisation to help children focus on using their breath for relaxation. -Ask your child to think of a relaxing colour. It can be any colour they like, as long as it is one that makes them think of relaxation. -Then ask them to think of a colour that represents stress, sadness or anger. Whichever of those emotions is most relevant or suitable for your child group to explore. -With your spoken guidance, your child imagines breathing in the relaxing colour and visualises it filling their lungs. -Then they imagine breathing out the stress, sadness or anger colour. -There are many ways to teach mindfulness to children. Ultimately, any time that you spend with your child consciously slowing down, and bringing awareness to the moment, will help to build their own repertoire of self-awareness and emotional regulation skills. -Cassie Nguyen is a former school teacher and fellow anxiety-conqueror.

The white beads are 4mm round and it features gold tone findings. In the center there is a piece that can swing making it appear like aY shaped necklace. This has a gold tone twist closure. -Eastern Lightning (东方闪电) or the Church of Almighty God is a Chinese cult based on Christianity who believe that Jesus Christ has been reincarnated as Yang Xiangbing (1973–), a Chinese woman. It was founded in 1989 by Zhao Weishan (赵维山) (1951–), who currently resides in the United States where he continues to lead the church. The name Eastern Lightning is derived from Matthew 24:27. -As the Second Coming of Jesus, Yang Xiangbing will guide mankind through the end times. Eastern Lightning preaches salvation through her third testament, The Word Appears in the Flesh. Eastern Lightning refers to the Chinese Communist Party as the "Great Red Dragon" of the Book of Revelation, and some members predicted that the world would end on December 21, 2012. The leaders of group, however, rejected that prediction. -The group's theology divides time into three ages: that of the law (the Old Testament), that of grace (the New Testament), and that of Kingdom (the current age). It teaches that the "Age of Grace" has been superseded by the "Age of Kingdom", during which humans will not only be forgiven of their sins, but also cleansed of their sinful nature. There is also a separate "Age of the Millennial Kingdom", which is supposed to occur after God's work in China has ended; during that age, the apocalyptic events in the Book of Revelation are to occur. -The sect essentially excludes mainstream Christians who are not part of the group from salvation, stating that those who hold on to conventional Christian beliefs are "guilty of opposing God" and do not truly believe in Him. -The group implicitly denies absolute Biblical inerrancy and explicitly denies the notion that the Bible provides a sufficient understanding of God, condemning such views as Bibliolatry that restricts God via the Bible. Videos on the group's channel render quotations of Jesus in yellow, similar to Red Letter Christians, but also render the group's own The Word Appears in the Flesh in yellow captions to emphasize their belief that the piece of literature is from God rather than a cult leader. The group's view of the Bible as limited and fallible is, however, likely not rooted in rational skepticism of religious dogma and should not be confounded with efforts by progressive Christians to re-interpret the Bible to suit modern science and values. Rather, this is likely intended to prop up the group's theology despite its contradictions with the Bible. For example, the name of the group is, ironically, quote mined right out of a passage about false [[prophets[[ and teachers in Matthew 24:22 that appears to imply that groups like it are following false messiahs. -Despite believing that all Christians following mainstream beliefs are going to Hell forever, videos on the sect's channel frequently identify the group's members as simply "Christians" or "people who believe in God". The group also denies evolution. -Like other Chinese New Age groups such as Falun Gong, the Chinese government considers Eastern Lightning to be a cult and has outlawed the group. -However, unlike Falun Gong, Eastern Lightning has been accused of explicitly engaging in acts of violence. For instance, in 2002 Eastern Lightning allegedly kidnapped 34 members of a Chinese house church network, the China Gospel Fellowship, for two months by pretending to be a Christian training center. According to a victim of the kidnapping, the cultists initially claimed to be theologians from Singapore but later revealed they were actually members of Eastern Lightning; after the victim rebuked them for heresy (cult members had allegedly beaten four Christians in his hometown and left them disfigured), he was called a "Pharisee" and moved to a locked room in a residence where he was subjected to verbal abuse. The victim was left pale and emaciated. -In a more widely publicized event in 2014, cultists identifying as believers in "Almighty God" beat a woman to death at a local McDonald's for simply refusing to give them her phone number. The sect tried to distance itself from the murderers, noting that the suspects testified that they had never come into contact with the church; the sect further accused the Communist Party of being behind the attack. A close look at the testimony shows that the murderers may have been influenced by some of the literature produced by the sect but did not consider the sect to be the true representatives of "Almighty God" (Splitters!). -The sect produces slick, high-budget "Christian" films and uploads them to YouTube. In those movies, all characters, good or bad, invariably use Apple products. Why they have such an obsession with Macs and iPhones remains unexplained. -↑ 3.0 3.1 "Church of Almighty God".

It appears Feiglin is on his way back to the Knesset, while Tibi just sank below the threshold minimum vote. -An Israel Hayom poll published Friday morning shows former IDF chief of staff with 19 seats, the Likud down from 30 to 28, the Labor Party falling to its lowest point so far –5 seats, Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid stuck in the mud with 9 seats (down from its current 11, which is down from its previous Knesset list of 19), and, for the first time in this campaign, the Zehut (Identity) party, headed by former Likud MK Moshe Feiglin who is a regular pundit at Jewish Press Online, crossing the electoral threshold with 4 seats. -The numerous splits of the past few months, on the left and on the right—some of which may end up merging by the official deadline set by the Central Elections Committee, have led to many parties that are swinging just above or just below the: Gesher, headed by Orly Levy-Abekasis, receives 4 seats, while Shas, Meretz, Habayit Hayehudi receive only 3. -Here’s another doozie: Both Avigdor Liberman and his nemesis Ahmad Tibi get only 3 seats and walk into the setting sun, probably not hand in hand. -And like we said, Zehut, headed by Cool Hand Feiglin, which just held the first open primaries in Israel ever on Tuesday, and did it online (you gave them your ID number and cell number, they SMSed you a code, you clicked in and got to spread 6 points among the candidate/s of your choice) is also on the verge of the electoral threshold – but for the first time looking at the abyss from above, with 4 seats. -Parties that are so far from the threshold they’re already in Party Heaven (doesn’t that sound like the place you’d want to go when the time comes) are Tzipi Livni and Eli Yishai, each of whom receives but one mandate. -The survey examined a scenario according to which Gantz and Lapid unite and bring in former Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi. The result: they all get 32 ​​mandates, with the Likud pushed to second place with 30, while Labor falls into the 3.25% abyss and goes to pole paradise with a measly 3 seats (down from 24). -Immediately after Ganz’s speech, the Likud and New Right tried to associate Ganz with the left, while Resilient to Israel, Gantz’s party, what a name) insisted that theirs is a centrist party. Well, the poll showed that 25% of respondents still do not know how to define him. -After the pollsters removed the “I don’t know” results, 52% of the rest located Gantz at the center, 19% see him as a right-winger, and 29% as left-winger. -Final surprise: on the issue of who is more suitable to be the next prime minister, Netanyahu leads safely with 38%, while Gantz gets only 22%. -This single level home in a quiet court delivers an exceptional opportunity to enter the market or add to your portfolio.

Whaling vessels—sometimes with dead whales strapped to their sides—and tourist-laden whale-watching ships travel the same waters, occasionally at the same time. -The fin whale meat is exported to Japan, while the minke whale meat supplies the domestic seafood market. But how popular is a traditional dish of minke carpaccio or grilled minke with horseradish and mushrooms? Not very. At least with the locals. Some polls say fewer than five percent of Icelanders eat whale meat. So who is eating it? -Produced and shot by Steve De Neef for Hakai Magazine. -Why is it important to learn horsemanship besides learning to ride? Safety is one very important reason - but also to have an enjoyable time together with your horse and not the fearful, exhausting fight because the horse and rider do not communicate well. We often blame the horse, but in reality we are to blame, since in most cases it is lack of communication skills from the person, who does not speak "horse". When people ask me: My horse is bucking with me, can you fix it? I answer with another question: When and why do yo think your horse is bucking? I can "fix" it in most cases, but that would be like removing the symptoms and not the reason for the bucking which in most cases is due to something the rider does. So the horse will continue bucking when his owner continues to do the same thing. Learning to be in control, dominate and become the leader of the horse- - not by showing the horse "who is the boss" which will create fear in this prey and flight animal rather than trust - and in it for the horse dangerous situation, the horse will take leadership and do what HE thinks best: RUN. So if the rider has not earned the leadership over the horse, the horse might LIKE the person, but not trust the person to make good decisions if they are scared. We give people tools to learn this language and how to earn the title of being the protector of the horse. -The understanding of directing the energy instead of confining it ( which is our usual predator instinct to do) is the key. Preventing a prey and flight animal from running in a situation he is fearful, will only add to this fear. A good way of fixing a bad habit is to become part of the solution for the horse by directing his energy immediately after his attention is back to the person. The instructor, Danehill’s owner Karin Dilou, is passionate about passing on the horsemanship knowledge she has learned "the hard way" herself over a long life living with her herd of Danish warmblood horses. A basic key ingredient for success to learn this is patience with ourselves and being observant and focused. It gives her utmost pleasure to give her students tools to become, confident, focused, goal, respectful and happy protectors which is what the horses are looking for in a herd leader. Jokingly we refer to Danehill Manor as: The Stress Free Zone. Having stress, being irritable or impatient, fearful, angry etc. will NOT work in the communication with the horses. It needs to be assertive, firm, polite and precise when we gently ASK them (not make them) do things to get the response we are looking for. We need to be pro active by asking the horse to do something, before the horse makes a decision on his own that we then need to fix, The horse is "telling us" a lot through his body language and we get many warnings BEFORE they make their own decisions. You will learn to recognize the "questions" from the horse. -By getting a deep understanding for this, has opened a door to knowledge about communication, leadership, teamwork and body language not only between horses and people, but very much between people too. The horses are in fact therefore also the co-facilitators when we run those seminars at Danehill. See further description under seminars. -The students become “learners” through play. The horses like to play too. The old saying: when the student is ready, the teacher appears comes to mind. They learn for their own sake. The instructor does not explain in words to children what is going on between her, them and the horses, but do explain that to grown up clients before and after the actual interaction with the horses. Children naturally absorb the horses’ as well as the instructor’s body language, energy, attitude and focus which they subconsciously react to. Thus it is very important to be honest and congruent in words as well as body language how we feel in order to be successful with both the children and the horses in order to build up their trust and create a mutual respect. At the moment I have two 5 year old boys – the youngest students so far. It has taken awhile to build up the children’s attention and focus to ½ hour at a time and important not to "force" it, but continuously keep it interesting, rewarding and fun. It actually is the horses that "reward" the kids and they LOVE it when that happens, feeling in control with their bod language. To ALSO “be ahead of “ the child and at the same time “be ahead of the horse” with at least 4 horse lengths in decisions about what we want the horse to do (how fast or slow, to go right or left at which point, to turn etc.), is something I have developed over time. It takes patience and focus from my side too – both to the child AND the horse. Having done it over and over again together and then challenge the child to do it by himself when I feel they are ready is one of the “big moments” in the development of the child. When the child realizes his power and leadership skills giving these huge animals directions with small gestures what to do, when to run fast, slow turn and stop, and the horse actually listens to and responds in action to what the child asks him to do, is a wonderful experience. -The students learn to pay attention at all times and think ahead. “Prevention is better than cure”. The most difficult thing to learn is patience with and respect to ourselves – which we also give our students tools to learn. -To make a lesson with horses successful stress cannot be part of the day. A stressful (or in any way tense, frustrated, irritated or angry) person is NOT considered a trusting leader in the horse’s mind. If the person is tense or impatient because the horse is not doing, what the person THOUGHT he asked him to do, the horse will soon be frustrated and "give up communicating" with this person, since that handler in the horse's mind does not seem to know what they want or doesn't trust himself that the horse in fact WILL listen to his "question". The horse read's the handler's subconscious mind which often includes not trusting himself. That is reflected in his posture, energy, way of breathing etc. and we cannot lie or be ambiguous to the horses. That confuses them. The horse might do what we want them to if we beat them up or get rough with them– but out of fear - which is very counter productive if we want a good partnership with 51% leadership to the handler. In situations where they are frightened they will not trust the person’s decisions as a protector. - and that can be dangerous (bucking, rearing, running wild etc). -Being on time or a little early is one of several things that can eliminate some stress. If prepared and thought through well in advance - step for step – and the student looks forward to a fun successful time, the lesson becomes pleasant for everybody.. I custom make the lessons to the children so it becomes a positive lovely experience for both them and the horses – (and me) - every time . Many factors can be different from time to time, but we always end on a positive note - both for the horse's and for the handler's sake. -One thing that is important for the success with the kids is that parents or guardians do not interfere or “help” in any possible way from the moment they arrive at the gate. Children like horses can only have one leader over them, otherwise confusion sets in. Parents or guardians can always “follow up” afterwards by asking the students questions and have them -uninterruptedly while paying full attention to them - explain what they did. Having the child explain and maybe even teach the parent what to do, makes them learn even better. I LOVE it when my students correct ME - and THEY become the teacher. Mutual respect and attention to each other. The interference in the lesson confuses the child. As is the case with a horse: if several people try to tell them what to do, the horse will make his own decision and NOT consider any of them his trusting leader. That is when accidents happen. If the child wants to “show off” to the parent to get the much desired approval and burst of admiration – the “ego” comes in the way for the focus on the horse and the whole lesson will be counter productive. In many ways it is the case with adults too when they have an audience. -Ask, patiently wait for the response and praise when getting the desired “answer” - is the way for the horse – and the handler of the horse - to learn. If the horse didn’t do what we asked first time around, it was because we didn’t ask clearly enough in the horse’s language. Eventually it becomes “second nature” and the conversation/gestures lighter and lighter and when true unity is established it is merely a thought and the horse will respond. It feels as if the horse is psychic, but what it really is, is that he is reading your subconscious mind that is your true self and directly connected to your body language. -Under construction, more information to come soon! -Over the past five years, I’ve analyzed data on a wide range of products from lip balm to dog food, from potato chips to kefir. And while categories of interest have changed, my general best practices for analyzing the data remain constant. Data can be complicated and challenging, but, if you know how to harness it, transform it, and understand its meaning, it can be a game-changer with immense value to your business. -As a part of SPINS’ Brand Growth Solutions team, I work with clients every day to bring the data to life and make it actionable for their businesses. While I can’t reveal all of my team’s secrets in this post, I will lay out three insider tips that we use to transform data on a daily basis. -Because there’s often so many factors that can drive business, it can be overwhelming to know where to start digging for answers. I find it helpful to generate a list of mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive (MECE) probable hypotheses to easily identify the top contenders and eliminate those that are less likely. This planning and forethought always saves me time because it provides a targeted list of analyses to consider, and every analysis assists in either proving or disproving the most likely hypothetical causes. By setting myself up for success on the front end, I find more time to generate insights and implications on the back end. -It always helps to understand the whole picture. It’s not enough to say that a brand is growing 10%. I always make data points relevant to my audience by benchmarking it back to something. Is that 10% accelerated or decelerated from the prior year? Is that 10% higher or lower than the category? Is that 10% better or worse than projected estimates? The easiest way to make data mean something is by making a comparative “than” statement. -Visuals are the KEY to bringing data to life and telling the story. As data analysts, it’s our job to make the numbers meaningful. We’re doing the data a disservice every time we copy and paste a raw data chart from Excel onto a slide. To mitigate this, I find it most helpful to ask myself, which hypothesis will I demonstrate here? (See Tip #1.) Then my follow-up question is, what kind of chart or visualization is going to best represent this data and make the point clear? The simplest rule to follow is to visualize one point per slide. Finally, when I make the point with a visually descriptive chart, I always highlight the insight for my audience, as well. In addition to the charts and visualizations, I know it’s important for me to narrate the story in the data to help my audience fully understand each insight and implication. -A new, segmented, negative-strand RNA virus with morphological and sequence similarities to other viruses in the genus Emaravirus was discovered in raspberry plants exhibiting symptoms of leaf blotch disorder, a disease previously attributed to the eriophyid raspberry leaf and bud mite (Phyllocoptes gracilis). The virus, tentatively named raspberry leaf blotch virus (RLBV), has five RNAs that each potentially encode a single protein on the complementary strand. RNAs 1, 2 and 3 encode, respectively, a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, a glycoprotein precursor and the nucleocapsid. RNA4 encodes a protein with sequence similarity to proteins of unknown function that are encoded by the genomes of other emaraviruses. When expressed transiently in plants fused to green or red fluorescent protein, the RLBV P4 protein localized to the peripheral cell membrane and to punctate spots in the cell wall. These spots co-localized with GFP-tagged tobacco mosaic virus 30K cell-to-cell movement protein, which is itself known to associate with plasmodesmata. These results suggest that the P4 protein may be a movement protein for RLBV. The fifth RLBV RNA, encoding the P5 protein, is unique among the sequenced emaraviruses. The amino acid sequence of the P5 protein does not suggest any potential function; however, when expressed as a GFP fusion, it localized as small aggregates in the cytoplasm near to the periphery of the cell. -The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the sequences reported in this paper are FR823299 (RNA1), FR823300 (RNA2), FR823301 (RNA3), FR823302 (RNA4) and FR823303 (RNA5). -Two supplementary figures and a supplementary table are available with the online version of this paper. -Ahn K.

Despite the bill's passing through the state legislature with overwhelming bipartisan support, despite local newspaper editorials in favor of the bill, and despite more than 1,300 concerned Californians using our action center to urge him to sign the bill into law, Governor Brown instead decided to sell out privacy rights to law enforcement. -It's not the first time, either. Last year, he did the same thing with SB 914, a bill that would have required police to obtain a search warrant before searching an arrested individual’s cell phone incident to arrest. -It may be that legislative action is needed to keep the law current in our rapidly evolving electronic age. But I am not convinced that this bill strikes the right balance between the operational needs of law enforcement and individual expectations of privacy. -Skeptical about a law enforcement sponsored bill claiming to protect privacy? You should be. As we explained to Governor Brown, AB 2055 doesn’t do anything at all. -AB 2055 is a narrow response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Jones, which held the Fourth Amendment required law enforcement to obtain a search warrant before installing a GPS device on a car. In theory, AB 2055 changes California law to explicitly permit law enforcement to apply to a judge for a search warrant to install a GPS device. But in fact, it does not require police to obtain a search warrant. It just says they can apply for one. So to the extent it attempts to codify Jones, it fails. And, more basically, there’s no need to codify Jones: the Supreme Court’s decision is the law and California law enforcement officials have to follow it, regardless of what state law says. -That’s not the only problem with AB 2055. That law only applies to GPS devices, and not the other myriad ways law enforcement can obtain location information without installing a GPS device. With increasing concern about law enforcement’s growing addiction to warrantless cell phone tracking — which a federal appeals court in New Orleans will be hearing argument about tomorrow — any legislative action needs to be forward-looking and future-proof. And while we might expect a state that boasts the world's biggest technology companies and just legalized self-driving cars to move the law forward, Governor Brown has instead decided to maintain the status quo. -Ultimately law enforcement got exactly what it wanted with AB 2055, which is nothing at all. And while Governor Brown joins the chorus — which included Justice Alito in his concurring opinion in Jones — that solemnly speaks of the need to update our electronic privacy laws to reflect the changing technological landscape, his words ring hollow when he vetoes a bill that had bipartisan legislative support. Because in the end, all that's been done since the first federal electronic privacy bill was passed in 1986 has been a steady diet of allowing law enforcement to gorge itself on as much data and information they can eat without a warrant. It's no surprise that now they're hooked, they'll do whatever it takes to keep the information faucet on. Governor Brown's veto of SB 1434 only continues this dangerous trend. -Pill box Olimp Sport Nutrition - container for capsules / tablets is a very practical solution for active people who use regular supplements. -Pill box Olimp Sport Nutrition is a high-quality PCV container containing 5 divided sections depending on the size of the capsule / tablet. -You do not need to go to work with all the packaging - all you need to do is prepare the correct dosage of supplements, and you will always have them in one box. -Simply convenience and good price !!!! -Don't worry: The Italians designed the thing to look great at any of its five ride heights. -Yesterday, with a Mediterranean flourish, two women clad in surprisingly-comprehensive dresses pulled a satin sheet from a windswept lump and revealed the new Maserati Levante. It is, as Maserati will tell you, the Maserati of SUVs, though that designation is equal parts meaningful and tautology. The “Maserati” of something—vacuums, lawnmowers, what have you—might be the most graceful and sensuous of its type; were Maserati to paste a trident on a Jeep Cherokee, that too would be a Maserati SUV. With the Levante, Maserati is making a hard case for the former. -Denuded, the new Levante evokes the shape of much more pedestrian fare: Infiniti's QX60, another wagonoid. That isn’t unfortunate, just a testament to the fact that there are only so many ways to shape a sport utility. (The new Jaguar F-Pace beautifully apes the first-generation BMW X5.) With eyes stolen from Maserati’s Afieri Concept, the Levante harbors as much squinty menace as its Quattroporte and Ghibli siblings and the typical Maserati cues, trident-inspired wheels, scalloped grill and fender portholes work together handsomely. Still, the Levante in person suffers some of what has undermined the Ghibli: a lack of presence. It’s striking but a little stubby, like Peter Dinklage. -Dynamically, the Levante is bound to be athletic. In the U.S., it will come in two guises: The base model, at $72,000, with a 345-horsepower version of the Maserati 3-liter, twin-turbo V-6, and the S, priced around $83,000, with a 424-horsepower version of that same engine. The de rigeur 8-speed ZF transmission will be seamless; adaptive dampers and what Maserati says is the SUV world’s lowest center of gravity will keep things nice and planted, like a ball of burrata dropped on a tile floor. Perfect 50:50 front-rear weight distribution is nice, and gives future owners an excuse to demand passengers take odd seats to maintain balance, like a stewardess on a small regional turbo-prop. -I’m ambivalent. Unlike the aforementioned F-Pace, or Lincoln’s exuberant Navigator Concept, I didn’t immediately love the Levante. Then again, I had my fingers crossed for a run of original, 1967 Ghiblis suspended over monster-truck tires, which is called “setting yourself up for disappointment.” To muster up some appropriately passionate love for Maserati’s new truck, I talked to Giovanni Ribotta, Maserati’s Chief Exterior Designer. No one can better convince you of a child’s charms that its father. Here are four. -The front of the Levante embodies the on-road/off-road duality Maserati wanted for its first truck. A dark, carbon fiber-effect skidplate juts out a touch beyond the bumper, almost like the spoiler of a racing car. According to Ribotta, the skid-plate is self-consciously “off-road, but integrated into a dynamic front.” As far as hammer-screwdrivers go, it’s a cute one. -Ribotta pointed out that, absent bumpers and a couple other modern affectations, the Levante is working in the same design framework as some of Maserati’s most famous coupes. In his words: “The Levante shape is defined by a strong center spine and the four fenders—as a racing car, from the past. Like the Birdcage or a Type 61.” Does the Mercedes GLC bear the footprint of a 300SL Gullwing? We have yet to hear that case made. -When asked if he might be offended when future Levante owners adorned his streamlined design with awkward racks, rails and boxes, as SUV owners are wont to do, Ribotta smiled graciously. “We did our roof rails. We designed every accessory that will go on the car. With the engineering team, we tried to make the rails as slender as possible. And as beautiful. We aren’t angry.” If you do buy a Levante and take the thing to Vail, you won't enjoy the transgressive thrill of spoiling a the Levante's slick design. Settle instead for a drive in Maserati's handsome stab at market share—it should be a good one. -What's it like inside Maserati's first-ever SUV?

I had a fabulous time competing, but Olympian Simon Whitfield can sleep peacefully knowing that I will not be challenging any of his records any time soon. -I decided that in my mid 30’s it was time to try something new in order to stay in shape. I was getting bored of doing the same old thing at the gym (when I went). I decided on triathlons, because I love to swim, I enjoy a good bike ride, and I can tolerate running for 10 kilometers. -The biggest obstacle when starting anything new of course is getting over your fears: fear of failure, fear of looking foolish, fear of not finishing or finishing last. But like many things we do in life, most of our fears only exist in our heads, and rarely play out in reality. Life has taught me that my biggest fear in life, is not living it. -You learn a lot about yourself when you try something new, sports, business or otherwise. You learn to push your personal boundaries and discover what your capable of. You learn from you mistakes, your achievements, and improve a little each time you do it. -Clawson and Staubes provides representation to both plaintiffs and defendants in claims involving daycare abuse and neglect.

Unfortunately, annual statistics from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services show that there are more than 3,600 instances of abuse and neglect at daycare facilities nationwide each year. -In 2014, state lawmakers enacted a law permitting licensed inspectors to inspect home daycare centers unannounced to ensure compliance with laws and regulations governing the operations of child care facilities.

The owner is extremely conscious of his female and racial minority clientele as he wants the range to be welcome to all, regardless of gender or race. Being both a person of color and a woman it can be daunting to (no offense intended) wander into a sport/pastime/interest populated mostly by white men. Or at least you'll see that in the media. -Unfortunately the experience I've gotten at some other ranges is because I am a woman I get attitude as to whether I know anything about guns. One of my club's ranges the RSO is always telling me I should probably try a lighter caliber as the gun I am shooting is too big (!!!). For the record it was a .45ACP. And I can punch holes in a quarter at 25 yards. -Other things, let's see. Go into a gun shop and get asked if I want a gift certificate. Being shown everything pink (I don't like pink) as if pink magically transforms any item into a woman's. -But there are a lot in the community who will treat me like an equal. That is welcome.

Features layered lettuce, tomatoes, pepper, cheese, black beans and a creamy dressing. -Are you a fan of meal prep? I go back and forth with it. When I do it, I am happy every time having the food made ahead of time and it makes our week so much easier. The hard part is wanting to spend our precious weekend time prepping the meals and thinking of foods that sound good to make for the week ahead. Today, I want to share a recipe that I meal prepped that made our week easier and took no more than 15 minutes to make. -Have you gotten on the salad-in-a-Mason-Jar trend yet? I tried it a couple of years ago and think that it can be a great time saver for those who have limited time to make a lunch, those who work outside the home and those who want to eat healthier and having a nutritious meal prepped helps them do so. I know that you guys are a fan of salads in a jar because my Barbeque Chicken Mason Jar Salads are my most popular salad recipe of all time. I thought that it was about time to share this delicious Mason Jar Taco Salads recipe with you. -For these Mason Jar Taco Salads, I made a bunch of them on a Sunday and enjoyed them through the week. As long as you layer them right (especially the dressing), they will last at least a few days. You can choose to make them vegetarian with black beans or tofu. Or you can add meat such as ground beef, shredded chicken, beef or pork. They all will work great! -I wanted to add a bunch of color so I used tomatoes, yellow and orange bell peppers, green onions, romaine lettuce, black beans and more. The dressing was super simple: I just mixed together light creamy caesar dressing and salsa. It work also work well with ranch dressing. These mason jar salads are filling, nutritious and so easy to take with you on a busy day! -Mix together salsa and salad dressing. Pour dressing into the bottom of two quart-sized mason jars. -After the dressing is in the jars, layer tomatoes, followed by the peppers, black beans, cheddar and green onion in the jars. Fill to the top with lettuce. -Stores well in the fridge for about 3-5 days. Dump contents of jar onto a plate or in a bowl and eat. Enjoy! -**Since the dressing is wet, make sure to put on the bottom of the jar with the tomatoes. The lettuce goes on the top so that it does not get soggy. -What a great idea! Thanks for the recipe. -Thank you! So easy too! -I love easy recipes because I am so busy and this looks DELISH! -Venture and Innovation Awards (VIAs) support transformational and innovative research projects by providing financial support and bringing funding into the field of cystic fibrosis (CF) from external sources. -Venture and Innovation Awards allow short-term projects to take advantage of innovative opportunities and are designed to leverage additional funding. For every pound spent by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust to fund a VIA, an additional four pound has been leveraged from an external agency. -The VIA programme is structured as a competitive leverage funding programme, whereby funds will only be awarded following success of an application to an external funding body. External funding bodies include government funding bodies, academic institutions and other medical research charities where applications undergo peer review. -We agree VIA funding in principle prior to submission of external funding body applications. Please contact us well in advance of your submission in order for us to consider your application so we can add a letter of support. -The VIA programme relies on the science being peer reviewed by the external funding body, thus we can only consider applications where this peer review will take place. For industry awards we request evidence of internal review prior to awarding funding, please contact us for the process. -If you wish to apply for a VIA, please contact us researchgrants@cysticfibrosis.org.uk. -Since we started funding these awards in 2013 we have awarded over 50 grants across a range of different research areas. Descriptions of the types of research we’re funding are listed below, where you can find out more about ongoing projects in the research areas that interest you. -You can also see who we have partnered with in each VIA, using our colour-coded labels for: NIHR partner, Charity Partner, Pharmaceutical Partner, Academic Partner, Government Agency Partner and Registry Study​. -The timing of lung exacerbations or a worsening of CF symptoms can be very hard to predict. We’re currently funding studies in children and adults to understand more about them. If we can predict when they might happen, then we can treat them quicker and ultimately aim to make them happen less often. -Find out more about research into lung exacerbations here. -While the symptoms of CF are well known, better ways to manage them are continually being developed, helping to keep people healthier and reducing their effects on quality of life. Our research projects range from ensuring that the way lung function is measured is as accurate as possible, to developing drugs that can help break down the mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis. -Find out more about research into managing symptoms here. -People with CF can have a range of different lung infections, and it’s important to know which infections are present and how to treat them. Understanding how bacteria work can lead researchers to spot weaknesses that can be targeted with drugs. The research we’re currently funding includes learning more about the bacteria to identify their weak spots, discovering how to disrupt the formation of ‘biofilms’ that cause antibiotic resistance and developing methods to speed up the detection of bacteria in samples from people with cystic fibrosis. -Find out more about research into understanding and treating infections here. -Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition, caused by damage to the ‘CFTR’ gene in both copies of the gene. The location of damage within the genes can vary from person to person – this is what is known as a “genotype”. Increasingly treatments are focussed on treating people with specific CF genotypes. The research we fund in this area ranges from ways to permanently correct the CFTR gene using gene editing, to early research that is working out ways to repair lung damage caused by cystic fibrosis. -Find out more about genetic research here. -There are different ways to approach therapies for cystic fibrosis. As well as drug therapies, the Trust is investing in gene therapies, which work to replace the damaged gene – in the case of cystic fibrosis, the CFTR gene – with a healthy copy of the gene. The Gene Therapy Consortium is a group of researchers based at Imperial College London, the University of Oxford and the University of Edinburgh who are working together to develop gene therapies for cystic fibrosis. Currently, our support for the GTC involves a £500,000 investment over two years from 2017 – 2019. -Find out about our research priorities and how and when we are allocating funding to meet these requirements and have the greatest impact on cystic fibrosis research. -Researchers are investigating a range of issues related to cystic fibrosis, from transplants to bacterial infections and gene therapy. -You can get EZ-Builder Robot Control Software and try this out yourself. -Not a programmer? No problem! The EZ-Builder application allows non-programmers to easily build robots using advanced functions of the EZ-B Robot Controller. It is a Microsoft Windows application that gives you remote and scripting control of your custom robot design. Within the application, you add Controls that mimic your robot’s configuration. There are many controls for speakers, iRobot Roomba, HBridge, Servos, Cameras, Voice Recognition, Joysticks and more! There is even an easy scripting language so you may create short animations, interactions or initialization routines for your robot. -Using a Dremel, hot glue gun, screw drivers and various other tools, you can begin modifying the toy shell to fit your servos. For wheels or mobility, use continuous rotation modified servos. For arms and neck, use a standard servo. To allow your robot to see for object detection, use a Sharp IR Distance Sensor or a HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Ping Sensor. -My younger son is interested in robotics and waited patiently for about four years to be old enough to use the Mindstorm robotic toy. He was very excited once he got it but found that it was not as hands on as he had hoped. Since he is still relatively young for the age requirement I think he bit off more than he could chew for an 11 year old. As he gets older I want to help him to explore the world of robotics more fully. It is a very exciting field to play in. -The Wall-e is so much like the real guy in the movie. very cool! -Robots have always fascinated me and I always wanted to build one. Will be checking out this software when I have the time. -This is a nice video. I like it. I am very interested in robotics. It is awesome how modern robots can move and to some really nice work. I think i will try to programm my own robots with this control software. I hope it will be great to look at. -It never crossed my mind that creating a wall-e robot is very easy. Although I can get my hands on tools and materials to create the robot, the fact that I have no idea on how to program a robot stops me to do so. I really appreciate the video and thank you for posting this. I will make sure to try this out and see if I can make my most favorite robot (this will be my first time to create one; so wish me luck). -“Frankie Peak” (far right; 2375m) and “Larry Mountain” (right of centre; 2375m) from the summit of “Table Top”. Both peaks were unofficially named by Andrew Nugara in honour of his mother and step-father. -Another view of “Frankie Peak” (right of centre) this time from Lys Ridge. We ascended using the ridge that begins in the foreground centre. Our original plan was to make a loop that included “Frankie”, “Larry” (right of “Frankie”), and North Castle (far right – summit not shown). Instead, icy conditions thwarted our trip from “Frankie” to “Larry” and we ended up tagging “Eagle Peak” (centre left) and Whistler Mountain (far left) as an alternate loop. -“Frankie Peak” and its twin, “Larry Mountain” are prominent peaks that are located south of Table Mountain in the Castle Wilderness. I had my first good look at them in May 2014 while hiking what I call, “The Whistler Loop”, a collection of unnamed peaks on the connecting ridge between Table Mountain and Whistler Mountain. Later, I learned that my friend, Brad Wolcott, had ascended them as part of an enjoyable trip from Whistler Mountain to Mount Gladstone. In September 2016, my curiosity was renewed while hiking Lys Ridge with Andrew Nugara and Jollin Charest. Andrew told me that he had unofficially named them, “Frankie Peak” and “Larry Mountain” in honour of his mother and step-father. He had first ascended “Frankie” in May 2009 via Whistler Mountain, and then returned one month later using the same approach to summit “Larry” and then North Castle. -Therefore, with Andrew’s trip reports as my guide, I began to plan my own trip. The major variation that I wanted to make from both Andrew’s trips and Brad’s trip, was to save distance by avoiding Whistler Mountain on my approach. Like Andrew, I wanted to summit “Frankie”, “Larry”, and then North Castle, but I thought that I could make a more compact loop by ascending a ridge that led up from the South Castle Road on the western side of the mountain. This would save quite a bit of walking distance back to my vehicle after descending North Castle. -Joining me for this trip was my middle son, Nathan, who had celebrated his 20th birthday the day before, and was anxious to try out the new backpack that he had received as a gift. Also with us, was Nathan’s (and my other son, Joel’s) friend Keagan, who last joined us on our hike up Morin Peak in the Crowsnest Pass. Keegan basically lives at our house, so I will also count him as one of my mine too. 🙂 I love hiking with my kids! -At first, everything went according to plan, especially the ascent which all three of us agreed was a blast. However, after summiting “Frankie”, we discovered that the exposed ramp that Andrew had used to descend the cliff band on the east side of the mountain was covered in ice. To make matters worse, we had to battle extreme wind gusts which made for miserable conditions. So we quickly changed our plans and made a new loop by heading north where we tagged the summits of “Eagle Peak” (“Whistable II”) and Whistler Mountain before descending back to the road – basically doing everything that I wanted to avoid. Nevertheless, neither Nathan nor Keegan had been to these peaks before and I was happy that they still had the opportunity to record their first ever, three peak day. I will definitely return when conditions allow for a successful descent between “Frankie” and “Larry”. -Our starting point was identical to that of our Lys Ridge trip. To get here, we headed south from the hamlet of Beaver Mines along Highway 774 until we came to the turnoff for Beaver Mines Lake. Here we turned left and followed the gravel road for ~3.7km until we came to the South Castle Road, which was located on our right. We followed the road for ~600m before arriving at a couple of information signs for the Castle Special Management Area. Also in the immediate vicinity were numerous random camping spots. -Here is where things get interesting and unless you have a 4×4 or some type of high clearance vehicle, you will need to park your car and get out your bike. Fortunately, I had my trusty 4Runner so we followed the road across the dry creek bed and proceeded another 6.9km down what at times, was a rough road, until we came to a washed out section just beyond a well marked camping site next to the Castle River. We parked across the road from the campsite. As a side note, almost all of the mud holes that you have to drive through on the road are not too deep, except for the last one immediately prior to the parking area. This is the deepest one (1/2 way up my wheels) and I’ve found that it is the shallowest on the east side – just don’t stop once you’ve started going through! -From our parking spot we walked ~100m further to the south along the road until we came to the washout itself. Here we left the road and followed the creek bed east and then southeast for ~550m until we reached the base of our ascent route. We found it was easier to follow the numerous game trails located on the east side of the creek rather than staying inside the bed. When we reached the base, we crossed the creek using a game trail and a couple of well-positioned boulders. -From the creek, the initial slope is wide open and grassy. Once we reached the first shoulder, the route narrowed into a ridge and became increasingly rocky and treed. From the first shoulder to the second shoulder, we encountered thicker forest cover and frequent bands of rock – which required lots of route finding. Here we donned our helmets as some sections required hands-on scrambling. The ridge walk along the second shoulder to where it abuts against the main ridge to “Frankie” involved some light to moderate scrambling with most obstacles avoided by sticking to climber’s right. However, just prior to the abutment we encountered a small cliff that would prove to be the crux. I found an exposed ledge to climber’s right, but we found an even safer route by retracing our steps and descending to climber’s left which allowed us to bypass it completely. From here it was an easy hike up a packed argillite slope to the main ridge. -The ridge walk to “Frankie” would have been really enjoyable if it weren’t for the extreme wind gusts. To make matters worse, the light dusting of snow on the south side of the mountain had undergone a quick thaw/freeze cycle that made for some slick conditions – nothing that hampered our ascent, but definitely something that we did not want to attempt an exposed downclimb in. -From the summit we descended towards “Larry” and found Andrew’s exposed ramp, which in dry conditions would have been great, but not on this day. We could see that to bypass the cliff band, we would have to lose a significant amount of elevation over icy rocks while enduring extreme wind gusts – not fun! So we nixed our original plan and decided to knock off “Eagle Peak” and Whistler Mountain instead. To avoid the wind along the ridge, we descended the northwest face of Frankie and cut across a hanging valley to the col beneath “Eagle Peak”. The ever-increasing wind ensured that we had a miserable ascent to the summit. From here we had an easy but windy hike to Whistler Mountain before descending down the trail to the South Castle Road and then walking ~1.6km back to our vehicle. -We loved our ascent route to “Frankie Peak” and I will readily use it again when I return. Be aware though, that at some point in the future, this road will be permanently closed to motorized vehicles as part of the new Castle Wildland Provincial Park. There may also be an overnight option, where a party could knock off every summit from Table Mountain to Mount Gladstone and then North Castle. Indeed, the hanging valley between “Eagle Peak” and “Frankie” would be a very nice spot to camp! -Our total distance ended up being 12.5km with total elevation gains of 1323m. From our vehicle to the summit of “Frankie” it was 4.2km. Our total time came in at 6 hours and 41 minutes. -Our parking spot on the east side of the road across from the campsite next to the Castle River. I had turned the vehicle around so that it was facing northwest – or the direction we came from. The washout is located just ~100m further down the road behind my vehicle. This was also the same starting point for our Lys Ridge trip. -Approximately ~100m south of my vehicle, we came to a washed out section of the South Castle Road. Here we would leave the road and follow the creek bed to the left. -Looking down the creek bed from the middle of the road. The first shoulder on our ascent route as well as the main ridge that leads to ‘Frankie”, can be seen in the distance to the right of centre. -We found it was easier to stay on the east side (climber’s left) of the creek bed. Here the bushwhacking was relatively light and we could utilize intermittent game trails. -A few of the game trails wanted to leave the creek bed too early. We followed this one until it began to head up the western slope beneath Whistler Mountain. It did however, give us our first clear view of the lower section of our ascent route. -A telephoto of the previous picture. The Castle is such an amazing place! -Looking south down the valley towards Sage Mountain (centre) and Mount Matkin (right). -Looking west at our Lys Ridge ascent route. -The view to the northwest at “The Amoeba” on Barnaby Ridge (left) and Southfork Mountain (centre). -The terrain became rockier as we gained elevation. -The hiking is pretty straightforward between the base and the first shoulder. -Keegan and Nathan stop to take in the early morning views. -After reaching the first shoulder, we began to encounter frequent rock bands (mostly Finnish death metal groups who had become lost during album cover photo shoots 😉 ) and heavier forest cover. -I couldn’t resist including another shot of the morning sunlight hitting Barnaby Ridge and Southfork Mountain. -We had a blast with all of the route finding on this ascent! -One of many obstacles that we encountered on the way up. -The reverse angle of the previous picture. -Morning sunlight spotlights Mount Matkin and the slopes of Lys Ridge. Castle Peak is on the far left. -Typical terrain before reaching the second shoulder. There were many possible routes and we seemed to solve any doubts by trending climber’s right. -Nathan and Keegan enjoy a welcome break from the wind just below the second shoulder. -After reaching the second shoulder we could finally see where it joined the main ridge. The summit of “Frankie” is not yet visible. -The ridge walk along the second shoulder presented easy to moderate options for scrambling. Due to extreme wind gusts, we avoided getting too close to the crest. -Nathan and Keegan make their way along the gorgeous little ridge. -…except for the crux. It doesn’t look like much from this angle, but it presented us with a small cliff face that halted our progress. -I found an exposed ledge to climber’s right, but by backtracking we found an even safer route by descending to climber’s left. Here we could circumvent the crux without too much difficulty. -Another look back at the crux. The exposed ledge that I rejected is the vegetated patch on the left. -A more comprehensive view to the north. The Whistler Firelookout is on the far left and “Eagle Peak” (“Whistable II”) is on the right. -The hike from the abutment to the main ridge was over packed argillite and presented no difficulties. -Looking back from the crest of the main ridge as Nathan and Keegan make their approach (lower centre). Our vehicle is parked next to the bend in the river that can be seen in the centre. -Once on the main ridge we could finally see the summit of “Frankie Peak”. The summit of “Larry Mountain” is to the left. -Nathan and Keegan begin an extremely windy ridge walk to the summit of Frankie. -If we had chosen a less windy day, this would’ve been a fun ridge walk. -Taking shelter from the wind to consume some calories and put on more layers. -Many of the rocks on the south side of the mountain were coated in clear ice. -Nathan and Keegan slowly and carefully pick their way up to the summit. -The summit of “Frankie Peak”. My GPS read 2370m and Andrew Nugara’s read 2375m. -Nathan arrives on his first summit of his twentieth year. Keegan is just behind him. -The summit offered gorgeous views! This is the view to the east. In the foreground is “Larry Mountain” and behind it is Mount Gladstone. In the distance is Victoria Peak and foreground right is North Castle. “Whitney Creek Mountain” is on the far left. -The view to the northwest. The Whistler Fire Lookout is on the far left, followed by Whistler Mountain and then the “Whistable Peaks” with “Eagle Peak” (“Whistable II”) in the centre. -The view north at “Table Top” (foreground) and Table Mountain (right of centre). -The view south at a beclouded Castle Peak and Windsor Mountain. North Castle is in the foreground. Our originally planned loop for the day included “Larry Mountain” and North Castle. -Looking southwest at Lys Ridge. The summit of Lys Ridge is on the far left and West Castle is to the left of centre. Lys Ridge was one of the best ridge walks that I’ve ever done! In the background is Barnaby Ridge. -At roughly the same time that we were on the summit of “Frankie”, a party of 6 hikers had to be rescued off of Mount Haig which is located directly to the west, behind Barnaby Ridge. One of the hikers had been seriously injured and because of the weather (notice the clouds), a helicopter rescue was impossible. While the other 5 made it down the mountain, the injured person was forced to spend the night on the mountain under the care of a public safety officer from Waterton Parks. A huge thanks to all of the people who work in Search & Rescue and to all of the First Responders. Hopefully the injured person will be okay. -Keegan and Nathan on the summit of “Frankie Peak”. -Always great to stand on a summit with your kids! Happy 20th birthday Nathan! -The wind ruined any thought of a lengthy summit stay, so we began to descend towards the col between “Frankie” and “Larry Mountain”. -The north face of “Frankie” is really steep! -Bypassing the cliff further to the south required a significant detour over slippery rocks – all while hiking into the wind. This is where we changed our plans. -Heading back to the summit of “Frankie” to attempt our alternate loop. -Looking from the upper northwest slopes of “Frankie Peak” to “Eagle Peak”(right) and Whistler Mountain (centre) – our alternate loop for the day. To get out of the wind and avoid a slow descent along the ridge, we descended the northwest face of “Frankie” and cut across this hanging valley to the col beneath “Eagle Peak” (“Whistable II”). Click to continue to our “Eagle Peak II” trip report. -I saw you on the summit of Frankie on sunday; I was on my way there from Whistler, can’t believe we didn’t run into each other!!! -We saw you too!! We were in the hanging valley when you were just beneath Eagle Peak. By the time we reached the col, we couldn’t see you anymore. We looked on the ridge to Frankie and still couldn’t see you so we thought you might’ve dropped into the valley. Did you make it past Frankie? Awesome site BTW! -It sounds nice doesn't it? I read it in a fanfiction and tried to find out where it was from but failed. I didn't want to lose the quote either so here it is! Mmn, there's so much I want to write about but I don't feel like writing about anything.

In some cases it may be necessary to change the route here and there. The mountains are full of surprises, and the weather on Mount Kilimanjaro is unpredictable. The guides continuously carry out risk assessments throughout the expedition. It is therefore best to plan a number of extra days in Tanzania to cover for possible unforeseen circumstances.

Also make sure to check our ultimate packing list for trekking Kilimanjaro. -– Duffel bag, (waterproof recommended) for porters to carry your equipment. -Because Mount Kilimanjaro covers a relatively large surface area and a lot of elevation, the mountain has more or less its own climate. Responsible for the weather patterns around Mount Kilimanjaro are trade winds that bring along moist from the Indian Ocean. Because of these trade winds, the months of March, April, May and November are the wettest. The southern mountain slopes are especially rainy in these months. From January to March there is a greater chance to see snow on and around the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This can be experienced as negative, but it will any case be much quieter on the trails. Although these are the coldest months, snowfall and cold temperatures can be expected from December to May. The most suitable and most popular season for climbing Kilimanjaro is from June to October. In these months you can choose any route without having to worry about rain too much. If you want a comfortable route during the rainy season, you best choose the Rongai Route, approaching Kilimanjaro from the North. Due to the differences in altitude and the associated climate zones, it is difficult to estimate the temperatures. -Trekking on Kilimanjaro is hard, both for yourself and your support staff. Per person you have a team who will support you in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. This team usually consists of a guide, three porters and a cook.

Both the guide, the assistant guide, the porter and the cook expect a tip. For the whole trek, this sums up to an amount ranging from USD 330 to USD 450. This is per climber, which means that the amount will not be smaller if the group is larger. Be generous. Read our extensive blog about tipping on Mount Kilimanjaro. -The currency of Tanzania is the Shilling. We recommend you bring US dollars or Euros to cover the costs of your visa, extra travel, and other.

She now works as a Project Officer for Wester Ross Biosphere. -"I was looking for a course with flexible delivery so I could study from home at a time that suited me. I considered the Open University but felt it was rather ‘faceless’. Whereas this university has campuses all around the Highlands and Islands and is a recognised name and brand. -I feel extremely lucky that I have been able to utilise my postgraduate qualification locally, working with the communities and exploring opportunities which can create a sustainable legacy for decades to come. This was helped by support from well-connected and internationally recognised tutors, in particular, Professor Martin Price, who holds several high-profile positions out with the specific world of academia, including the UNESCO Chair of Sustainable Mountain Development." -Where would you like to go with your career in the future? -It is exciting to be part of a 'model' area in sustainable development, and I hope that we will be able to assist our future generations in continuing this legacy. -If you are looking for one of the best high end luxury apartment rentals in all of London I highly recommend checking out the Cheval Residence’s Thorney Court Apartments. Located near Hyde Park and Kensington Palace, the apartments are just a short tube ride from the Thames and from being right in downtown London. -Luckily for me I was upgraded to a two bedroom, two and a half bath penthouse suite with the biggest patio for a rental apartment/condo that I have ever experienced. If you are going to stay here you are going to have quite the amount of pocket change but if you can afford it I highly recommend it. -The location is ideal with many grocery stores nearby including a Whole Foods. The concierge are friendly, quick and at your service 24/7. It’s definitely nice when you travel as much as I do when you can go to a grocery store then cook* a meal for yourself in your own kitchen with every utensil imaginable. It is then doubly nice when you realize you don’t have any salt and the concierge brings you a huge container of it in the blink of an eye. -My master suite in the apartment had a comfortable king sized bed, flat screen TV, lots of closet/storage space as well as a large window with a view of the neighbourhood. This apartment was so large that I am pretty sure had I been staying with someone else that they could have been yelling in the living room and I wouldn’t have heard them all the way in the master bedroom. Extremely spacious. -The master suite also had its own bathroom with two double sinks, a bidet, towel warmer, tub/shower and more of the great smelling bath products that the Cheval properties always have. It is nice that they set you up with amenities just as if it was a hotel, the little things like a towel warmer and quality bath products really make a place and bring it together for me. -The second bedroom was a great size as well and its beds could be separated into two single beds if needed. It also had its own full sized bathroom with bidet, warming rack, tub and shower. -Extras in the property include a powder room, great for if you have visitors to entertain keeping them out of your main bathroom. Also one of the things that I love most about Cheval Residences is that you don’t come into the apartment empty-handed without any food. The property provides you with a few essentials so that you don’t have to run out to the store right away. Various apartments that I have stayed in have provided me with bread, butter, milk, water, tea, coffee, biscuits, popcorn and granola. -Another great thing about the Cheval Residences is that they don’t skimp on appliances in the kitchen either. There is always a washer and dryer combo, dishwasher, full sized fridge, coffee maker, tea kettle, stove and oven as well as toasters, coffee makers and more. The drawers are also full of all of the utensils necessary. -Lastly my penthouse suite also had a large living room and a separate dining room area. Just imagine the parties that you could have in this place. The decor to me was very english and made me feel kind of like royalty especially the adorable porcelain dogs on the mantle piece. -To book at stay at the Cheval Residences Thorney Court luxury apartment immediately check it out on Booking.com HERE. -I have also stayed at the Cheval Residences Phoenix House and you can see my review HERE and at the Cheval Residences Gloucester Park which you can view HERE. -My stay was hosted by Cheval Residences, however as always all opinions, views, and dreams conquered are my own. -Leading 2017 Isle of Man TT newcomer Adam McLean will be at this year’s Armoy Road Races. -The big event will take place on Friday and Saturday, July 28-29. -Joining McLean, a previous winner of the Junior Support at Armoy, will be local men William Dunlop, Neil Kernohan, Paul Jordan, Darryl Tweed, Paul Robinson, Gary Dunlop, Hexham rider Dominic Herbertson and Moto3/125 GP race winner Christian Elkin, winner of Moto3/125 GP race in 2016. -With entries yet to close (July 3) and the 2017 TT just finished, many riders are now turning their attention to Armoy and confirming their attendance. -The announcement was made at the official launch of the Roadside Kia ‘Race of Legends’, which was held at Gracehill House, Stranocum yesterday alongside a keynote presentation from David Wallace, the film producer of Road Racers and a local Dunloy man. -This year is the 40th anniversary of the original 1977 documentary, which truly captured the heady mixture of three local men, their families and their passion, drive and love of road racing. -He gave a short presentation on why and how the film was made but having won two BAFTAs for other work. -Some key scenes of the film depict the three riders, Joey Dunlop, Mervyn Robinson and Frank Kennedy, riding through the village of Armoy where they often tested their bikes. -Bill Kennedy MBE, Chairman and Clerk of the Course, AMRRC said: “We are delighted to host, film producer and local man, David Wallace. It is difficult to comprehend that this film, Road Racers, was made 40 years ago, let alone the impact this film would have in years to come, the place it has in people’s hearts and the iconic level that it has reached across the whole road racing community. -“The Armoy Road Races came about as most of you know, after a bit of craic in a local pub. It’s hard to believe come September that we will be in our tenth year and that we continue to celebrate all of our road racers, past and present, including the reputed Armoy Armada. -“It is also hard to be believe how exceptionally fast 2017 is disappearing but we are on target with our planning. With additional monies from the Department of Communities and some work on the roads, courtesy of Transport NI, these races are set to be one of the best. -“William Dunlop was man of the meeting in 2016 and I’ve no doubt he will be keen to revisit his Armoy winning streak. As of yet, brother, Michael Dunlop, who retains the title of Race of Legends winner, having won in six successive years has yet to confirm his entry but the Club is hopeful he will race on his home course come July. -Also in attendance were the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Joan Baird, Terence Brannigan, Chairman of Tourism Northern Ireland, members of the Armoy Club and other guests and sponsors including title 'Race of Legends' sponsor, Roadside Kia. -Terence Brannigan, Tourism NI Chairman also commented: “Armoy Road Races are one of Northern Ireland’s prime motorsport gatherings, attracting motorcycle riders and spectators both locally and internationally. -"As the event goes from strength to strength it has an important role to play in tourism, in contributing to the economy and in enhancing our reputation as a destination. -Bill Kennedy concluded: “I’d like to finish by thanking event sponsors Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and Tourism NI for their very kind support. -"I’d also like to thank our title sponsor Roadside Kia. Without the support and sponsorship from these organisations and other sponsors present here today, the event just wouldn’t be possible. -This year, Bike Week runs from Sunday July 23 until Saturday July 29 with the races taking place on Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29 culminating in the Roadside Kia ‘Race of Legends’. -The Armoy Road Races are part funded by Tourism Northern Ireland and the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. -The eagerly anticipated Out NYC Urban Resort opened its doors to guests on March 1, 2012. -This straight-friendly urban resort is poised to become a travel and entertainment destination for New Yorkers and visitors alike.

They had come to the White House for the annual Easter Egg Roll. -The event has been a U.S. tradition for more than a century. In the late 1800s, local children gathered on the hill beside the president’s house to play a game with their colored eggs following the Easter holiday. -The White House Easter Egg Roll was of special interest this year. The Trump administration was very late to organize it. Some people who hoped to attend the event were even worried that it would be canceled. -Political observers said the Easter Egg Roll would show how well Trump’s administration could plan and operate a complex public relations event. -Talk about the event also brought attention to the first lady, whose office usually plans the White House Easter Egg Roll. First Lady Melania Trump has not yet moved to Washington, DC. She says she will remain in New York City until her son finishes the school year. -So, how did the White House Easter Egg Roll go this year? -Just fine, early reports say. -About 21,000 children and their families received tickets to this year’s event. They came in small groups to the lawn near the president’s house. They played soccer, tossed bean bags and, of course, pushed hard-boiled eggs down the hill. -The event was smaller than in previous years. Last year, for example, about 36,000 people attended. -This year’s Easter Egg Roll also did not include performances by top celebrities or professional athletes. Instead, children were invited to draw pictures for U.S. soldiers. -The Easter Bunny made an appearance, though, as did both Trump and the first lady. They were there with their 11-year-old son, Barron. The president welcomed his young guests and promised them that the nation was getting stronger, bigger, and better. -Kelly Jean Kelly wrote this story for Learning English.

Social media and cosmetically-enhanced reality TV stars, on shows such as Made in Chelsea and The Only Way is Essex, have undoubtedly played a key part in influencing this trend. -Cosmetic surgery is “the choice to undergo an operation, or invasive medical procedure, to alter one’s physical appearance for aesthetic rather than medical reason” – according to the Royal College of Surgeons. -Gone is the hiding of the shame of enhancements, like generations before. Now, a new group of cosmetic surgery patients are developing, with botox parties becoming a social norm. -In 2015 the UK market for cosmetic procedures was estimated to be worth as much as £3.6bn and is anticipated to have risen sharply since. -For ladies, the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure is breast augmentation – accounting for around 30% of procedures performed. Other popular choices include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), breast reduction, neck and face lift, liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and rhinoplasty (nose job). -For men, facial surgery, and brow and eyelid lifts are the most common procedures performed. -The multi-million pound cosmetic industry, though, is one of the least regulated. -Reputable cosmetic and plastic surgeons often work in the public and private sectors, with many belonging to professional organisations, such as the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS). Here, all members belong to the Specialist Register of Plastic Surgeons, maintained by the General Medical Council (GMC). -There are also practitioners in the field with no formal training or certification, and this is causing serious concern. -Negligent surgery or treatment performed without the necessary care or skill can result in physical or psychological damage and have a devastating effect. As a result, you may require further surgery or treatment, or you may be left with permanent scarring, causing cosmetic disfigurement. -If you are unhappy with the service provided, or you have suffered from ongoing pain and problems since your cosmetic surgery, you may have a case for Medical Negligence. -Our nationally recognised expert solicitors at Osborne Morris & Morgan are only too aware of the serious effects of cosmetic surgery errors and are committed to helping those who have suffered as a result of poor treatment. -To arrange a free initial consultation with one of our Medical Negligence specialist solicitors, please call us on 01525 378177 or contact us online. -Bosch Security Systems was chosen as the central supplier for the security systems at Marmara Park Shopping Center in Istanbul, one of the largest of its kind in Turkey.

This system with 64 amplifiers supports 140 independent zones, allowing targeted messaging in case of an evacuation. -Video surveillance of the entire premises has been realized using almost 300 cameras and 18 digital video recorders. In addition, Entegre installed a comprehensive access control system for non-public areas within the centre as well as the addressable intrusion detection system Modular Alarm Platform MAP 5000 from Bosch with more than 1,000 detectors. This allows the operator to exactly locate every alarm in real time, enabling fast response to any incident. The same holds true for the panic buttons which have been installed in all of the shops. -Being a tightly integrated solution, the entire security system can be configured and operated very efficiently from one central location or distributed consoles. The open architecture makes it highly scalable and adaptable to future additions or changing requirements. -KSHMR just premiered his exclusive collaboration with Tigerlily on Billboard. It kicks off with a melody paying homage to his homeland, India then marches on to a grimy yet buoyant drop. -Although, the track wasn’t initially meant to fall in the palm of KSHMR as Tigerlily first offered it to Tiesto, we’re sure glad it did. -KSHMR also used this track to shed some light on prevailing poverty in countries like India. -The track comes out on 5th September.

The price of this insurance is dependent on a home’s age, location and value and the insurance company you choose. Be sure to call around and get several quotes or ask us for a list of vendors I work with. Insurance agents will oftentimes be able to take your information over the phone and get back to you the same day with a quote. Once you choose a company to insure your new home, the cost of that policy is normally added into your closing costs and sent into an escrow account to be paid to the insurance company directly the first year. -Before the home is legally transferred to you, the closing process must occur. During this phase, you will sign all of the mortgage documents, pay closing costs, and sign various other legal documents & in most cases I will be there to help you through it all. Once all of the papers are signed, the keys to your new home are yours! The only thing left to do is move into your humble abode. This may occur immediately after the closing or at the date set in the closing documents. -If you want to have a unique experience hiking in the forest to find the elephants and observe their natural behaviours in their home environment, Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary is the right place for you.

We can’t do everything, but we can each do something. -She is so pretty and well behaved! Whoever adopts her will be so lucky. I hope she finds a home soon, and I’m glad she’s in a foster home until then. The dogs in foster homes vs a shelter always seem calmer and more relaxed. No surprise there I guess! -I know, she’s going to make someone a perfect family pet. I hope she finds a new home soon, I know there’s a great family out there looking for a nice relaxed companion. -With a sweet name like Bambi how can you go wrong? I hope she finds a home soon. -I also regret not getting any before photos of Laika. I was way to excited as well and just got her out of there without thinking about taking a photo. -Oh she is such a beauty! Know she’ll find her home quickly! Looks like Jackson was one lucky fellow! -IT is great to read that Bambi has many skills that will help her get adopted. Add her training to that adorable face and should should find a home soon. Also, thanks for the before and after shots. I love that idea. -I love what this rescue is doing by featuring adult dogs that are perfect for families or first time dog owners. It’s something that’s needed in this area considering we have so many shelters around here that do their best to make great matches – but they don’t have the resources to have them in foster homes to gain that better knowledge of a dogs personality. -LOVE that before and after shot!!!! -And Bambi is such a sweetheart! Paws crossed for her. -I sure hope Bambi finds a great home! -She is beautiful! Hope she finds a home soon! Love the before and after picture of Jackson! Good for him!!!! Bambi has been shared! -FULL-SCREEN MODEMODE: Click PLAY, then pass your mouse over the bottom right corner of the video screen. The outline of a square will appear.

The graph may present some impossible and improbably sharp spikes, which should be ignored. -Getting there: To approach from the northern side, the pass can be accessed off the R407 about 4 km south of Prince Albert. It is clearly signposted and easy to locate. Head south on the R328 for 2,3 km where the road crosses the Dorpsarivier via a concrete bridge. This point marks the northern start of the Swartberg Pass. This is the direction in which we filmed the pass. -Eerste Water in the northern sector of the pass makes for a perfect spot / Photo: Trygve RobertsFor those wanting to approach from the south, there are a number of options, but we will describe here the obvious main route. Drive north from Oudsthoorn on the tarred R328 via Schoemanskloof. Just after the Wilgewandel Guest Farm (with the camels) there is a fork in the road. The right hand fork heads directly to the Cango Caves. Turn left here (GPS S33.402020 E22.216309) The road (still tarred) heads east for a further 13 km where another guest farm is reached called 'Cobus se Gat'. This marks the southern start of the pass. The road becomes gravel after a further 2 km. -The nearest town is Prince Albert - just 4 km from the northern end of the pass. There is plenty see, from flora to fauna, and some mind boggling geology. The fynbos is at its best in winter and spring with proteas, ericas, restios and pin-cushions in profusion. -The pass is a national monument and, like its sister pass (Montagu Pass), stands in proud defiance of modern technology. It would be a shame if these roads were ever tarred as their core charm would be lost forever. A plaque commerorating the efforts of the men who built the pass was unveiled on the pass's centenary celebrations in 1988. It stands at the western side of the road at the summit. This was the last pass that Thomas Bain built in the Cape and it was surely his opus magnum. The final cost of the pass, including a few kilometers of access roads, was 14,500 Pounds Sterling, excluding the value of the convict labour, which was free. -From the northern start at the crossing of the Dorpsrivier, the road traverses a short stretch of open plain, but the massive bulk of the looming Swartberg blocks the way ahead, other than a single, narrow gorge through which the road winds. The highest peak visible at this stage is unnamed at 1532m on your left (east), whilst the slightly lower Voetpadsberg on the right (west) tops out at 1402m. -Amazing geology on display in the northern sector / Photo: Trygve RobertsA low dry packed wall appears on the left as the mountains begin hemming the river and the road in. These walls are the first of hundreds of such examples that you will see along the length of the pass. They were the work of Thomas Bain, then at the height of his engineering prowess as a road builder. The small river, which appears as a docile litlle stream, becomes a raging and destructive torrent when flash floods occur. -During the night of April 10th, 2017, such a flash flood, swept down the kloof, destroying everything in it's path. Thomas Bain's retaining walls, which had been standing guard against the river for 130 years, buckled under the might of the river and the 2 km section of road from Malvadraai through to the northern exit of the poort were completely devastated. It took modern equipment and techniques almost 10 months to repair most of the damage, taking due care to rebuild the wallls to appear as close to Bain's original work as possible. -The Swartberg Nature Reserve is large - (180,000 hectares) and provides hiking, picnicking, 4x4 routes, bird-watching, swimming and just being close to nature. -The majority of the pass falls within the control of the Swartberg Nature Reserve / Photo: SA VenuesThe moment the kloof is entered, the sunlight is blocked off and the mountains tower vertically up on either side of the road in a dazzling display of contorted sandstone. The rocks often appear blood red, depending on the time of day. The photographic opportunities are endless and there are enough places to pull off the narrow roadway and park safely. -Some bluegum trees appear on the left and a clearing pops up on the right - a large flat clearing where some ruins are evident. Apparently the house was used by Bain as a work station during the construction phase. Immediately after the clearing, the road bends sharply to the left and approaches the second river crossing via a concreted drift. This is normally shallow and should present no problems for any vehicle. This lovely spot is known as Eerste Water (First Water) and was the first point where oxen and horses could be watered, before tackling the big climb to the summit. There is a rock near this spot - a tall thin slab of rock, which looks like a clock. There is lots of shade at this spot and it makes for a great picnic spot and is well protetcted from the wind too. -The pass in the 1800's with its designer - Thomas Bain / Photo: Swartberg Mountain ToursOnce over the river, the road bends to the right and follows the eastern bank of the river. The road has been hewn out of the mountain here and is very narrow. If you meet an approaching vehicle, one of you will need to reverse to a wider section to facilitate passing. -Soon the road crosses the river for a third time, this time via a low level concrete bridge, which is called Tweede Water (Second Water). Around the next corner is another excellent picnic spot, named Malvadraai. (Wild Geranium Corner) - so named for the wild geraniums that grow there. The section from Tweede Water to Malvadraai also got severely damaged during the 2017 flood. -On the left hand side (east) of the river, you will notice a footpath snaking up the mountain-side towards a saddle. This is the 6 hour Malvadraai Hiking Trail and is apparently a lot tougher than its gentle name suggests. Malvadraai is a rest area next to the river, where one normally finds wild geraniums at any time of the year. The river is spotlessly clean and this is a good spot to have a swim on a hot summers day. -The road now enters a series of S-bends, and swings away into the south-west up a major kloof, known as Mullers Kloof. This kloof also gave Bain the most trouble. In May 1885 a devastating flood swept across the Swartberg Mountains, washing away most of the road in the adjacent Meiringspoort and causing a long closure. Bains' brand new road also suffered damage, but Bain learned his lessons well and rebuilt the damaged sections of road further away from the river's flood levels. -The road also begins climbing more steeply here, reaching a gradient of 1:9. At the 4,4 km mark, there is a layby on the right, which allows access to the ruins, marked as Blikstasie. These ruins were once the convicts home, who constructed the pass. -Access to the ruins is awkward and requires some physical effort. Shrubs and trees have overgrown the ruins, but if you have the physical capacity to scramble the few metres up the slope, you will be rewarded with a perfect view of the old walls. These are approximately 2ft thick and consist of rocks and stones held together by mud. The building apparently had an iron roof, hence the name Blikstasie (Tin Station). -From the ruins, if you look up the slope to the left of the road, you will get perfect views of the massive retaing walls that support the road ascending up Mullers Kloof. These are the most impressive of all the walls and at places reach a height of 13 metres! This is also the kloof that was featured in the TV commercial with well known South African singer, song-writer, playwright and actor - David Kramer, chasing his beloved Volksie Bus up one of the hairpins in his trademark red "veldskoens". -The road climbs steeply into the south-west towards a huge slab of exposed and contorted rockface. It is marked as Droe Waterval (Dry Waterfall) as most of the year this riivulet is without water. If you get to drive this pass around sunset, this rock face glows a deep and fiery red in the setting sun and has earned itself the nickname of "Wall of Fire" -Here you are likely to see baboons and klipspringers, the latter which seem to float up the mountainside with no apparent effort. -If you have the time, you will see that as part Bain's dry-walled roads, he constructed underground tunnels to disperse flood waters. The man was a genius and way ahead of his time. An example of this work can still be seen at the "Droe Waterfall" which is mostly just a trickle (and aptly named), but when the heavy rains arrive, the gorge is filled with a destructive torrent of white water, capable of sweeping away even the largest of rocks. -At Droe Waterval the road curves sharply through 120 degrees to the left and climbs steeply in the process, reaching a gradient of 1:8. Coming up are the famous four hairpins that feature in so many photos of the Swartberg Pass. Drive slowly and carefully and be constantly aware of approaching traffic as the road is narrow here and both vehicles will need to move as far left as possible and pass each other at a crawling speed. Some drivers get so engrossed in the scenery that they forget to keep left. Be constantly aware of meeting an oncoming vehicle on the wrong side of the road. -There aren't many places to pull over safely, but there is one good spot right before the third hairpin, which allows a wide scope for photography. It's a great spot to stop and breathe in the clear mountain air and savour the majesty of the impressive landscape. This is one of the Top 5 highlights of the Swartberg Pass. -Once up onto the ridge, the gradient eases off a bit to around 1:14 and follows the spine of a long ridge, as the road climbs inexorably towards the viewsite known as Teeberg. The road is wider here and passing oncoming traffic is easier. The Teeberg viewsite is located at the apex of a very sharp right hand bend of 160 degrees. It's at an altutude of 1394m exactly 9 km from the northern start. There is a concrete picnic table here and sufficient parking for about 6 vehicles. -The name Teeberg does not appear on any of the topographical maps and the mountain spine that leads upwards terminates at 1535m and is actually called Platberg. -Looking north one gets a majestic view over the 500m deep chasm that runs all the way down to Malvadraai. The views are quite amazing and if you arrive at this view site on a wind free day, it is a marvellous place to find your soul. The views are 360 degrees and offer so much variety that it's almost impossible to take it all in. -Cautionary: There have been a few incidents on this pass, where people have left there vehicles to take a photograph and not fully applied the handbrake and in one instance, not at all. -A minivan rolled almost 400m down the cliffs and was obviously a total write-off. Luckily the occupants were out of the vehicle at the time. When stopping at any of the viewsites, it is best practice to switch the engine off, engage 1st or reverse gear if manual, and PARK if automatic PLUS fully apply the handbrake. -There are baboons, grysbok, grey rhebuck, klipsringer, leopards and caracal - with the last two seldom being sighted. The road is narrow in certain sections and some reversing might be required to get past an oncoming vehicle. Etiquette is to give way to the ascending vehicle. There are no heavy vehicles or caravans allowed. -Drive at the speed limit or slower - this road can be dangerous in bad weather. If you plan on stopping at the top for a photo or two, have a windbreaker ready - it can be ice cold out of the car and almost always windy. -From Teeberg the road heads due west as it skirts a side ravine and maintains a fairly level altitude. At the 9,9 km mark, there is a sharp left hand bend, which changes the direction into the SSE, as a flatter section of the upper plateau is traversed. Here the mountain slopes are covered in dense stands of proteas and ericas and if you visit in winter or spring, you will be richly rewarded. -The road starts climbing again at a gradient of 1:16 and an intersection is reached at the 10,8 km mark, with another gravel road heading away into the west. This is the turn-off to the famous Gamkaskloof . It is not recommended to drive this road unless you are well prepared, have sufficient fuel, knowledge, and preferably have booked accommodation overnight at Die Hel. This road is slow and a lot rougher than the Swartberg Pass. -CAUTIONARY: Do not drive this road (Gamkaskloof/Die Hel) unless you have a high clearance vehicle and preferably a 4x4. It is a minimum of a 4 hour trip there and back excluding any stops. It is far better to prebook accommodation at Die Hel and overnight there. The road is a dead-end and consists of about 9 small passes and one big one at the end (Elands Pass). You will be doing this route an injustice by attempting to drive it in a single day. This road is much rougher than the Swartberg Pass. -Sign at the summit now obliterated with stickers / Photo: Sncdn.comAfter negotiating another big right hand bend of 140 degrees and at the 10,8 km mark, the buildings of the old toll house and Swartberg Nature Reserve appear at the next bend. These are used by hikers tackling the Swartberg Hiking Trail. -The road now swings through another big S-bend which brings the heading into the east, as the next set of switchbacks begins at the 12,4 km point. -You will also notice a locked and gated jeep track heading eastwards just after the picnic spot. This is a known 4x4 route which is some 75 km long. Permits can be obtained from Cape Nature and/or the Swartberg Nature Reserve. There is a minimum number of vehicles required per trip for safety reasons. Immediately before the jeep track junction, some green roofed buildings appear on the left of the road, almost directly below the pass summit. This was originally the site of the road camp where the convicts were housed and perished that snowy night 120 years ago, when their roof caved in. Today, the buildings have been restored and serve as an information centre for the Swartberg Nature Reserve, as well as an overnight hikers hut and a tearoom. -The next set of switchbacks consists of four hairpins and whilst they are most impressive, they are not quite in the league of those in Mullers Kloof. The road is also not so narrow and there are more opportunities to stop for sight seeing and photography. -Looking south from the summit of the pass / Photo: BlogsausbettiesThe third hairpin changes the heading into the west, as the final pull up to the 1575m summit is tackled. Be prepared for cold, blustery conditions at the summit and be aware that there is limited parking. A sticker plastered sign announces: '"DIE TOP". This is not the optimum view site on the pass and the weather often spoils things as the wind can really howl through the neck, often reaching gale force conditions. It is much better to stop at one of the three viewsites along the southern descent. -From Die Top, which is a natural saddle in the mountain, you will have expansive views to the south of most of the Klein Karoo, with it's patchwork of green farmlands, whilst the northern vista is entirely different, displaying much drier mountains with a massive gorge splitting the upper mountain plateau into two. It is along the western side of this gorge, that the road has delivered you. From the summit point, the road can be visually traced all the way back to Teeberg. If you are lucky enough to be at the summit alone, switch your car's engine off and listen to the incredible silence or the wind whistling past the rocks at Die Top. -The moment the road curves through the sharp left hander at the summit, huge views of green fields and distant grey mountains open up. It is completely different to what has been on offer for the previous 40 minutes. All along the descent there are wonderful examples of Thomas Bain's perfectly constructed dry packed walls. -Perfect examples of the dry packed supporting walls on the southern side / Photo: PanoramioThe descent is mainly into the east and other than dozens of bends, corners and curves, this direction is maintaned all the way to the valley floor. Maintain a slow and steady speed and make sure you keep well left on all the blind corners. -CAUTIONARY: The Swartberg Pass is enormously popular with both local and international travellers as can be attested by the many hire cars that can be seen on the pass 7 days per week. Tourists tend to drift completely onto the wrong side of the road as they take in the grand scenery. On the day of filming we had two incidents where we would have had head on collisions, had we been driving faster. Be extra vigilant, blow your hooter as you enter a blind corner, drive with your headlights on and anticipate. -There are four view/picnic sites on the southern ascent. If you are planning a picnic, the lowest site might be the most pleasant, as there is nearly always strong wind and cooler temperatures near the summit. The descent lasts for 10,3 kms and should take about 20 minutes to drive excluding stops. Although the pass carries the route number R328 it's administrative number is P0369. -The second view site, named Skelmdraai is very good (if the wind is not blowing) with wonderful views and sufficient parking space for about 5 vehicles. From this site, there are excellent perspectives of Bain's propped up walls that run for 2,3 kilometres without a break. -At the 18 km mark, there is a substantial ruin on the left hand side of the road (north), followed soon by a big picnic and view site. This is the last view site along the descent, if you intend taking a break. There are another four hairpins coming up, which commence at a ruin called Stalletjie, followed in quick succession by Witdraai. These start at the 20,4 km mark. -Near the southern end of the Swartberg Pass looking west/ Photo: Thorsten KuttigThe road begins flattening out a little and the road surface improves as the foot of the pass is approached. After the last hairpin (which clears a side ravine), the road changes direction into the south and the road surface switches to tar at the 23,3 km point. The descent gradient remains reasonable and soon a large guest farm makes its appearance on the right hand side, which is Cobus se Gat. This is a good place to get some refreshment, reinflate your tyres and savour all the wonderful memories of driving the amazing Swartberg Pass. -As you exit the final section of the pass and access the tar, you will be left with a feeling of awe, relief and disappointment all in one. Relief that you made it through without mishap and disappointment that it's all over. This pass ranks amongst the top 10 South African passes in terms of the total package. There are others which are higher, longer, sharper, more dangerous, but there is only one Swartberg Pass. This is the one pass you must experience at least once in your lifetime. -It leaves one with the sense that those responsible for naming the various points up the pass, had exhausted their creative energies by the time they reached the summit (1575m ASL) as the best name they could come up with was Die Top. It must have been a monumental effort. -The pass is a national monument / Photo: GoogleHistory: Thomas Bain, with the help of some 250 convict labourers built the pass from 1883 to 1886. He managed to keep the gradient lower than 1:8 throughout the pass, compared to the steeper 1:6 of the Montagu Pass. Bain cleverly used the ridges of the foothills for a comfortable 'altitude gaining' approach to the looming bulk of the Swartberg range, where he chose the lowest saddle as his target. -It was tough going and there are many stories that abound about the hardships endured by these pioneering men. When the crest of the pass had been reached during the second winter, a road builders camp had been set up close to the summit. After a particularly heavy snowfall, the roof of the camp collapsed, killing several of the convicts. -By this stage of his road building career Bain had developed several unique techniques employing his knowledge of science. One was his dry-walling construction using the principles of cohesion and friction, using no cement at all. This technique was first brought into South Africa by John Montagu and Charles Michell and the first known examples of dry walling to support roads dates to the Montagu Pass (built by Michell) and Bainskloof (built by Thomas Bain's father, Andrew Bain). -The other was using heat and water to break big rocks up. A large fire would be lit under or near a difficult rock and then cold water would be poured over it, resulting in the rock cracking into smaller, more manageable pieces. Thomas acquired most of these skills from his father, (and to whom he was apprenticed for a several years), who had an intimate understanding of geology. In these early pioneering days, the tools employed were very rudimentary and consisted primarily of picks, shovels, sledgehammers, gunpowder and hard labour. -Zoom in and out; rotate in any direction. -Use the Get Route'feature (directly beneath the map): type in your address to get a personalised route straight from where you are to the pass, with time and distance included. -Detailed written and printable directions. -Drag the 'little orange man' icon onto the pass for a complete 360° tiltable "street view". -Thanks to USDA Rural Development’s Rural Utilities Service funding and Home Communications, Inc., those who live and work in a rural Kansas community don’t have to travel miles for broadband service. High school and college students can upload, research, and complete homework assignments online. Employees can work remotely, farmers can monitor operations, and businesses can successfully market and promote their products and services. -Home Communications, Inc. (HCI), based in Gypsum, Kan., is one example of how rural telecommunication service providers are investing in the future of their communities. Since they opened doors as a rural telephone company in 1933, HCI has transitioned to a broadband service provider focused on growth by expanding their customer base and service territory. -When most people think of bats, images of dark caves, vampires and Halloween come to mind. But actually, bats get a bad rap, and we often don’t know how important they are for controlling insects, pollinating plants, dispersing seeds and improving biodiversity. -Many of our nation’s bats are facing population declines to near-extinction levels, primarily because of disease and loss of habitat. One of those species is the Indiana bat, an endangered species that has experienced rapid declines since the 1960s. -It takes time, patience and a committed partnership, but seeing thriving forests of longleaf pine trees return to Alabama’s Gulf Coast is well-worth the wait. -Longleaf pine forests once dominated the American Southeast, stretching across 90 million acres. A stronghold of the region’s environment and economy, longleaf was an essential building material used during the American Industrial Revolution. Today, only four percent of the original forests remain standing. -The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Alabama is working with groups to revive this strong and resilient wood, while also providing environmental benefits for the Gulf Coastal Plain’s wildlife and water. -Wetlands and wildlife – they’re made for each other. Wetlands provide critical habitat, shelter food and places to raise young. -Landowners across the country are voluntarily restoring and protecting wetlands on private lands. This not only provides high-value wildlife habitat but provides many other benefits, such as cleaner water (wetlands act as filters!) and reduced flooding risk (they store water!). -Samantha Whitter represents the fifth generation at Whittier Farms in Sutton, Massachusetts. Her family’s 500-acre, 100-head dairy farm is one of the largest in this small town 10 miles south of Worcester—the second largest city in New England, after Boston. -Samantha’s dad, Wayne Whittier, signed up for aerial cover crop seeding offered by USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The conservation practice involves a helicopter swooping over corn fields, releasing winter rye seed from a hopper swinging beneath the chopper. To a bystander, it might look like an air show or a crime scene investigation, but it’s actually a very controlled seed application that uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to track the helicopter’s flight path and precisely map where seed was distributed. -The demand for local food is strong and growing. To meet the growing demand, farmers market managers are becoming creative entrepreneurs who connect rural America to urban and suburban businesses. -Last week, during National Farmers Market Week, I had the pleasure of visiting Crofton Farmers Market in Crofton, Maryland, to recognize state and local efforts to bring fresh foods and economic growth into their community. During my visit, I was given a tour of the market by market managers, Chad Houck and Scott Hariton, who are business partners with a passion for their community. -SYC vice president Galen Green has previously served as co-chair of the First Year Council and SYC outreach committees. -The Second Year Council confirmed Galen Green as vice president at its general body meeting Sunday. -“She has the institutional knowledge, she’s confident, she has the respect of people on SYC and people in our class as a whole,” said SYC president Floyd Black, who assumed the presidency of the Class of 2019 following the recent announcement that former SYC President Ahmad Shawwal would be taking the fall semester off from the University. -Shawwal cited personal circumstances for taking time off from the University. -Green, a second-year College student, has previously served as co-chair of the First Year Council and SYC outreach committees. She also ran for SYC president in one of the most contested students elections in the spring, although Shawwal ultimately won the election. -Green received a majority of votes from the general body of the council to become vice president. -She said one of her goals is provide more support for transfer students and students seeking a greater sense of community at the University. -Black also shares this goal. -The Second Year Council has worked to attract and serve diverse membership. -In a previous interview with The Cavalier Daily, Shawwal noted that the nearly 60-member council has members from a variety of backgrounds. -Black said he would like SYC to organize events that bring people together and noted the upcoming Welcome Back Bash on the evening of Aug. 26, an event he said is expected to draw hundreds of students. -Black also said he would like to see more outreach to African-American and other minority students. -Green said a main difference between first and second year is that students live in various on-Grounds and off-Grounds locations, which can present a challenge can be bringing people together. ->> I was looking for “seeing Hydra in action”. -> Service temporarily unavailable or 404.

These interventions usually fail under the weight of their overexaggerated promises. This leads to an odd belief that if you decrease the number of official suspensions on paper, you can claim success regarding improved behavior. -Fresno Unified board member Christopher De La Cerda, McLane’s representative, highlighted this delusion when he stated, “The data confirms that restorative practices at McLane are working as we intended it to work.” Sort of like bragging that no one drowned in the pool after the water was removed. -If the intention was for more than 80 percent of the teaching staff to be so fed up they needed to file a petition – congratulations! Mission accomplished. -The saddest part of this debacle is that it has ironically resulted in increased insecurity and systemic violence for our teachers and students who truly want to be educated. -But here is the most disappointing fact: This situation did not need to happen; it was self-inflicted. -Three years ago, there was a wonderful, accredited, academic program in Fresno Unified that took in up to 1,600 secondary students a year, who either could not – or should not – attend a traditional high school. -This program was a last-chance beacon of hope for thousands of students who, by their own fault or the fault of others, would have had no real chance of graduating from high school. It was called the J.E.Young Academic Center (JEY). It provided an educational sanctuary for the very students FUSD is trying to corral with this Restorative Justice debacle. -Every student was treated – educationally and emotionally – as a unique individual. JEY accepted the entire spectrum of students; from those whose special needs could not be adequately met, to those whose behaviors could not be adequately accommodated on a traditional high school campus. This program was an oasis for students on the precipice of failure. -It was a wonderful independent study program that served the needs of those most in need. Everybody won. But that didn’t matter. -For spurious and ego-driven reasons, this program was dismantled and diminished to a mere shell of its former self. It was replaced by a program that failed after two years. Like prisons, it involves removing those in society with unacceptable behaviors and placing them into a concentrated environment of only themselves. -If shooting oneself in the foot was considered a good thing, then FUSD could qualify as a world-class marksman regarding this issue. If FUSD really wanted to practice restorative justice, it would bring JEY back to its previous stature. Maybe Larry Powell could help. -William (Bill) Larkin monitors online credit-recovery classes in the Apex program. He taught in the JEY program for eight years.

Just follow my step by step instructions to get a fresh loaf of homemade whole wheat bread from your own oven! -4 Tbs. Butter, room temp. -In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Also to stand for 5 minutes. -Add the honey, salt, butter, and 1 1/2 cups of wheat flour. Mix at a low speed. -Add 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour while the mixer is running. Mix until well combined. -You may or may not need to add more flour at this point. You want the dough to come together in a sticky ball that mostly cleans the sides of the bowl, but still sticks to the bottom. Add more flour a little at a time if you need to. Lean more towards a stickier dough than a stiff dough. -Knead in your mixer for 3 minutes. Then cover and let rise until doubled. This should take about an hour. -Dump risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface. -Shape it into a loaf sealing the seams well. -Place the loaf in a bread pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. -Cover and let rise until doubled (about a half hour to 45 minutes). -Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Bake risen bread for 45-50 minutes. About half way through baking you will need to tent the wheat bread with foil to avoid over browning. -Run a cube of butter over the top of the hot bread. -Cool 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. -Decreasing biodiversity in an ecosystem can increase the spread of disease, research suggests. Researchers studying amphibian communities in natural wetland ecosystems as well as controlled experiments have shown that as diversity increased, infection rates dropped. -The rate of extinction of species is increasing as ecosystems across the world come under pressure from habitat loss, pollution and climate change. Recently, changes in biodiversity have been linked to changes in disease risk for humans and wildlife. -In the last ten years, a number of studies have reported a correlation between the species diversity within a community and the ability of diseases to spread among that community. This is because some pathogens, i.e. infectious viruses or bacteria, can infect many different species, which differ in their ability to pass on the disease. The authors of this study set out to test the underlying connection between biodiversity and disease prevalence. -Over three years, they observed the spread of Ribeiroia ondatrae, a pathogen that causes severe deformities and death in amphibians, within 345 wetland ecosystems across a 758,100-hectare region of California, USA. -A total of 24,215 amphibians were assessed for deformities. In wetlands with low species diversity, the proportion of amphibians carrying and passing on the pathogen was much higher than in those wetlands with a more diverse composition of species. The greater the diversity of species in the wetland ecosystems studied, the higher the number of species more resistant to the pathogen. -Transmission of the pathogen was 78.4% lower in the in the most species-diverse wetland communities, compared with the least species-diverse. Under laboratory conditions, the researchers observed a 64% decrease in pathogen transmission and infection when the number of species in a controlled community was increased from one to three. In a further experiment using an outdoor, artificially assembled community, total infection rates decreased by 50% when the number of species present was increased from one to four. -The study provides evidence of a link between biodiversity and the spread of disease. This is perhaps unsurprising, given that there is plenty of evidence to show that populations with little biodiversity, such as monocultures, facilitate the spread of disease. However, the authors also caution that many other environmental factors, including resource availability, climate and habitat variables will interact to affect the rate of spread of disease within a community. -The authors conclude higher levels of biodiversity could help to increase the resilience of wildlife, domestic plants and animals and humans to disease. Conservation efforts should aim to protect and enhance genetic and species diversity as a novel and cost-effective tool in the management of the spread of disease. -CTI allows a computer to interact with the telephone, e.g. in setting up and terminating calls with numbers taken from a directory via a PC application. -The computer (e.g. a PC located at the same desk as the telephone) directly interacts with the telephone (First Party CTI). -The computer (could also be a co-located PC) interacts with the telephone system (e.g. SIP application server), and the latter controls the telephone: Third Party CTI. -Many OpenStage and optiPoint telephones are able to use CTI, like OpenStage 80 (Third Party) or OpenStage 40 T (First Party). -Mit CTI kann ein PC mit dem Telefon kommunizieren, z.

Piping systems are often designed for extreme high or low temperatures. However, both hot and cold applications will expand and contract with an increase or decrease in temperature. Installing expansion joints in a piping system prevents thermal expansion from creating high stresses that could cause cracking welds, bending pipes and failing anchors. Composition and Function: Expansion joints are constructed with metal bellows or Teflon, end fittings and accessories such as flow liners, tie rods, and protective shrouds. Most expansion joints are made up of several coils designed to withstand the internal pressure of the system. The common bellows assembly is positioned to flex under the thermal movement of the connected piping. Expansion joints are able to absorb any longitudinal loads as a result of extreme flexibility. To maintain the overall stability of the whole piping system while transferring longitudinal loads, it is necessary to install piping anchors and guides. Thermal Expansion and Placement: Pipes are not an exception when it comes to expansion and contraction with hot and cold temperatures. Piping engineers are able to determine the rate of expansion resulting from the materials and temperatures used for the specific application. After the amount of expansion is known, locations of expansion joints, anchors and guides can be determined and installed. If you are considering expansion joints for a piping system and need assistance with selection or ordering, contact our team at MKS.

When hot it is an oxidizing agent, the sulfur in it being reduced; sulfur dioxide gas may be released. Hot concentrated sulfuric acid reacts with most metals and with several nonmetals, e.g., sulfur and carbon. Because the concentrated acid has a fairly high boiling point, it can be used to release more volatile acids from their salts, e.g., when sodium chloride (NaCl), or common salt, is heated with concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen chloride gas, HCl, is evolved. -Concentrated sulfuric acid has a very strong affinity for water. It is sometimes used as a drying agent and can be used to dehydrate (chemically remove water from) many compounds, e.g., carbohydrates. It reacts with the sugar sucrose, C12H22O11, removing eleven molecules of water, H2O, from each molecule of sucrose and leaving a brittle spongy black mass of carbon and diluted sulfuric acid. The acid reacts similarly with skin, cellulose, and other plant and animal matter. -When the concentrated acid mixes with water, large amounts of heat are released; enough heat can be released at once to boil the water and spatter the acid. To dilute the acid, the acid should be added slowly to cold water with constant stirring to limit the buildup of heat. Sulfuric acid reacts with water to form hydrates with distinct properties. -A neutral atom or group of atoms becomes an ion by gaining or losing one or more electrons or protons. -chemical compound containing the sulfate (SO4) radical.

Since it is dibasic (i.e., it has two replaceable hydrogen atoms in each molecule), it forms both normal sulfates (with both hydrogens replaced, e.g., sodium sulfate, Na2SO4) and acid sulfates, also called bisulfates or hydrogen sulfates (with only one hydrogen replaced, e.g., sodium bisulfate, NaHSO4). -chemical compound, SO2, a colorless gas with a pungent, suffocating odor.

The sulfur dioxide is obtained by burning sulfur, by burning pyrites (iron sulfides), by roasting nonferrous sulfide ores preparatory to smelting, or by burning hydrogen sulfide gas. Some sulfuric acid is also made from ferrous sulfate waste solutions from pickling iron and steel and from waste acid sludge from oil refineries. -In the lead chamber process hot sulfur dioxide gas enters the bottom of a reactor called a Glover tower where it is washed with nitrous vitriol (sulfuric acid with nitric oxide, NO, and nitrogen dioxide, NO2, dissolved in it) and mixed with nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide gases; some of the sulfur dioxide is oxidized to sulfur trioxide and dissolved in the acid wash to form tower acid or Glover acid (about 78% H2SO4). From the Glover tower a mixture of gases (including sulfur dioxide and trioxide, nitrogen oxides, nitrogen, oxygen, and steam) is transferred to a lead-lined chamber where it is reacted with more water. The chamber may be a large, boxlike room or an enclosure in the form of a truncated cone. Sulfuric acid is formed by a complex series of reactions; it condenses on the walls and collects on the floor of the chamber. There may be from three to twelve chambers in a series; the gases pass through each in succession. The acid produced in the chambers, often called chamber acid or fertilizer acid, contains 62% to 68% H2SO4. After the gases have passed through the chambers they are passed into a reactor called the Gay-Lussac tower where they are washed with cooled concentrated acid (from the Glover tower); the nitrogen oxides and unreacted sulfur dioxide dissolve in the acid to form the nitrous vitriol used in the Glover tower. Remaining waste gases are usually discharged into the atmosphere. -In the contact process, purified sulfur dioxide and air are mixed, heated to about 450°C;, and passed over a catalyst; the sulfur dioxide is oxidized to sulfur trioxide. The catalyst is usually platinum on a silica or asbestos carrier or vanadium pentoxide on a silica carrier. The sulfur trioxide is cooled and passed through two towers. In the first tower it is washed with oleum (fuming sulfuric acid, 100% sulfuric acid with sulfur trioxide dissolved in it). In the second tower it is washed with 97% sulfuric acid; 98% sulfuric acid is usually produced in this tower. Waste gases are usually discharged into the atmosphere. Acid of any desired concentration may be produced by mixing or diluting the products of this process. -Sulfuric acid is one of the most important industrial chemicals. More of it is made each year than is made of any other manufactured chemical; more than 40 million tons of it were produced in the United States in 1990. It has widely varied uses and plays some part in the production of nearly all manufactured goods. The major use of sulfuric acid is in the production of fertilizers, e.g., superphosphate of lime and ammonium sulfate. It is widely used in the manufacture of chemicals, e.g., in making hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfate salts, synthetic detergents, dyes and pigments, explosives, and drugs. It is used in petroleum refining to wash impurities out of gasoline and other refinery products. Sulfuric acid is used in processing metals, e.g., in pickling (cleaning) iron and steel before plating them with tin or zinc. Rayon is made with sulfuric acid. It serves as the electrolyte in the lead-acid storage battery commonly used in motor vehicles (acid for this use, containing about 33% H2SO4 and with specific gravity about 1.25, is often called battery acid). -Although sulfuric acid is now one of the most widely used chemicals, it was probably little known before the 16th cent. It was prepared by Johann Van Helmont (c.1600) by destructive distillation of green vitriol (ferrous sulfate) and by burning sulfur. The first major industrial demand for sulfuric acid was the Leblanc process for making sodium carbonate (developed c.1790). Sulfuric acid was produced at Nordhausen from green vitriol but was expensive. A process for its synthesis by burning sulfur with saltpeter (potassium nitrate) was first used by Johann Glauber in the 17th cent. and developed commercially by Joshua Ward in England c.1740. It was soon superseded by the lead chamber process, invented by John Roebuck in 1746 and since improved by many others. The contact process was originally developed c.1830 by Peregrine Phillips in England; it was little used until a need for concentrated acid arose, particularly for the manufacture of synthetic organic dyes. -H2 SO4, a strong dibasic acid corresponding to the highest oxidation state of sulfur (+ 6). Under usual conditions, sulfuric acid is a heavy, oily, colorless, and odorless liquid. In industry, mixtures of sulfuric acid both with water and sulfur trioxide are also called sulfuric acid. If the SO3: H2 O molecular ratio is less than 1, the mixture is an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid; if it is more than 1, the mixture is a solution of SO3 in sulfuric acid. -The compounds H2 SO4·SO3 (H2 S2 O7, disulfuric, or pyrosulfuric acid, mp 35.15°C) and H2 SO4·2SO3 (H2 S3 O10, trisulfuric acid, mp 1.20°C) are also formed. Only water vapor is given off into the vapor phase upon heating and boiling aqueous solutions of sulfuric acid containing up to 70 percent H2 S04. Vapors of sulfuric acid are formed above more concentrated solutions. A solution of 98.3 percent H2 SO4 (azeotropic mixture) upon boiling (336.5°C) is completely distilled. Sulfuric acid containing more than 98.3 percent H2 SO4 releases vapors of SO3 upon heating. -Sulfuric acid removes water that is chemically bound to organic compounds containing OH, or hydroxyl, groups. The dehydration of ethyl alcohol in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid results in the formation of ethylene or diethyl ether. The charring of sugar, cellulose, starch, and other carbohydrates upon contact with sulfuric acid also derives from the dehydration of these substances. As a dibasic acid, sulfuric acid forms two types of salts: sulfates and bisulfates. -Production. The first descriptions of oil of vitriol, that is, concentrated sulfuric acid, were given by the Italian scientist V. Biringuccio in 1540 and the German alchemist whose works were published under the name of Basilius Valentinus in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. By 1690, the French chemists N. Lemery and N. Lefebvre had laid the basis for the first industrial method of obtaining sulfuric acid, a method applied in England in 1740. According to this method, a mixture of sulfur and saltpeter was burned in a ladle suspended in a glass jar containing a certain amount of water. The SO3 generated reacted with the water to form sulfuric acid. In 1746, J. Roebuck in Birmingham replaced the glass jars with chambers made of sheet lead, thus laying the basis for the chamber process for the production of sulfuric acid. Continuous improvement in the process for the production of sulfuric acid in Great Britain and France resulted in 1908 in the first tower system. In the USSR, the first tower installation went into operation in 1926 at the Po-levskoi Metallurgical Plant in the Urals. -The raw material for the production of sulfuric acid can be sulfur, pyrite (FeS2), or exhaust gases containing SO2 from furnaces for the oxidative roasting of the sulfide ores of Cu, Pb, Zn, and other metals. In the USSR, most sulfuric acid is obtained from pyrite. Here, the FeS2 is burned in furnaces in the state of a fluidized bed, a state achieved by blowing a rapid stream of air through a layer of finely ground pyrite. The gaseous mixture obtained contains SO2, O2, N2, impurities of SO3, and vapors of H2 O, As2 O3, and SiO2 and holds considerable cinder dust, which is removed from the gas in electrostatic precipitators. -The NO produced is converted into N2 O3, or, more precisely, a mixture of NO and NO2, in the oxidizing tower. The gases are then introduced into absorption towers, where they encounter sulfuric acid supplied from the top. It is here that nitrous vitriol is obtained; the mixture is then transferred to the production towers. Thus, there is continuous production and a circulation of nitrogen oxides. The inevitable losses of nitrogen oxides with the exhaust gases are balanced by the addition of HNO3. -The sulfuric acid produced by the nitrous method is of insufficient concentration and contains harmful impurities, for example. As. Production is accompanied by the release of nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere (“foxtails,” named for the color of NO2). -Depending on the amount of water introduced into the process, either oleum or a solution of sulfuric acid in water is obtained. -In 1973 the production of sulfuric acid (in the monohydrate) was (in millions of tons): 14.9 in the USSR, 28.7 in the United States, 7.1 in Japan, 5.5 in the Federal Republic of Germany, 4.4 in France, 3.9 in Great Britain, 3.0 in Italy, 2.9 in Poland, 1.2 in Czechoslovakia, 1.1 in the German Democratic Republic, and 0.9 in Yugoslavia. -USE. Sulfuric acid is one of the most important products of the heavy chemical industry. The available grades include chamber acid (not less than 75 percent H2 SO4), oil of vitriol (not less than 92.5 percent), and oleum, or fuming sulfuric acid (a solution of 18.5–20 percent SO3 in H2 SO4), as well as especially pure battery acid (92–94 percent; when diluted by water to 26–31 percent, it serves as the electrolyte in lead batteries). In addition, reagent-grade sulfuric acid (92–94 percent) is produced by the contact process in quartz or platinum apparatus. The strength of sulfuric acid is determined by the density, which is measured with a hydrometer. Most of the chamber acid is used in the production of mineral fertilizers. Sulfuric acid is used in the production of, for example, phosphoric, hydrochloric, boric, and hydrofluoric acids because of its ability to displace these acids from their salts. Concentrated sulfuric acid is used in separating organosulfur compounds and unsaturated organic compounds from petroleum products. Dilute sulfuric acid is used for the removal of scale from wire and sheets before plating with tin or zinc and for the pickling of metal surfaces before plating with chromium, nickel, or copper. It is used in metallurgy for the decomposition of complex ores, in particular, those of uranium. In organic synthesis, concentrated sulfuric acid is a necessary component of nitrating mixtures and a sulfonating agent in the production of many dyes and pharmaceuticals. Owing to its high hygroscopicity, sulfuric acid is used in drying gases and in concentrating nitric acid. -Safety measures. Poisonous gases—SO2 and NO2—as well as vapors of SO3 and H2 SO4, present a danger in the production of sulfuric acid. Proper ventilation and hermetically sealed production apparatus are therefore mandatory. Since sulfuric acid causes serious burns of the skin, handling requires extreme care and protective devices (goggles, rubber gloves, aprons, boots). When diluting sulfuric acid, the acid must be poured into water in a thin stream while stirring. Pouring the water into the acid leads to spattering because of the evolution of a great amount of heat. -Spravochnik sernokislotchika, 2nd ed. Edited by K. M. Malin. Moscow, 1971. -Malin, K. M., N.

The full program for the carnival can be found here. -Please check that you are aware of the timing of your child’s events. There are heats and finals programmed for all track events (except 400m), however if an event only has enough athletes for a single race then a straight final will be run at the time of the scheduled heat. Whilst there are 800m heats and Finals in the program, traditionally the 800m are straight finals (this will be decided on the day). -Please note that the times given are ‘not before times’ they are not competing times. -The first Marshalling call for field events will be at 8.10am on both days and athletes will proceed directly to their first field event to Marshall at the competition area. -The first Marshalling call on the Track event on both days will be 8.15am for both the circular and straight tracks. -Please check the times of your child’s events carefully on the zone program. Field events are listed with a “Not Before Time”. This means that the event will not commence before that time, however it is likely to be marshalled in order to start at the “Not Before Time”. Track times are given down the side of the Track events – and the track usually runs to schedule. The only time in recent years that we have been late at a zone carnival was a thunder storm delay. -Ensure you arrive 1 hour before your event, this will enable you to find parking, check in, set up your chairs etc and not be stressed. Your athlete will also have plenty of time to warm up prior to being marshalled. -Footwear is compulsory for all athletes in all events. For safety reasons Spike shoes are only to be worn during events and must be removed before proceeding to another event. -Spike shoes may not be worn for athletes in the Under 7, Under 8 and Under 9 age groups. -Spike shoes may only be worn in track event run entirely in lanes for Under 10, Under 11 and Under 12 age groups. -For age groups between Under 13 and Under 17, spike shoes can be worn in all track events (except walks). -Spike shoes may also be worn in Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump and Javelin where applicable in Under 10 to Under 17 age groups. -A Maximum 12mm Grass spike may be used at Barton Park. -Please check in at your club’s tent, so we know your child has arrived and that you have confirmed for your rostered duty. -There will be marshalling calls throughout the day on the loud speaker system. It is the parent’s responsibility to warm up their children and to ensure athletes go to marshalling on time. If an athlete does not turn up for their event at marshalling, it runs without them and they miss out. -We would like to remind all parents / caregivers that we do require all children to be accompanied by an adult at the carnival. On arrival at the zone Carnival we would like to ask that one parent / caregiver sign in with their club and check that we have the correct contact details for the attending adult on the day in case of emergencies or any other need to contact you. -As the North Metropolitan Carnival is run entirely using volunteers, each club has been allocated a number of jobs. -Please sign up for your duties with your club to ensure the smooth running of the zone carnival. -Results from all the track events are posted on the amenities block, by the canteen. Please check these lists to see if you are in a final. -Under 7 Athletes who place in the top three in any Final, will receive a medal in a special medal presentation. You are welcome to take photos of the athletes on the dias. -All athletes will receive a certificate detailing all their zone results early in the new year. Athletes from Under 8 to Under 17 who place in the top 6 in their Finals will qualify for Region Championships. Additionally following the completion of the North East Zone carnival, athletes who are the next best 4 athletes from either zone will achieve qualification to the region carnival. Athletes must be in the final to be a subsequent qualifier. All field events are straight finals. Pack starts, 800, 1500 and 3000 are also straight finals. Therefore if you finished 7th or 8th it is likely you will be an additional qualifier to Region and will be notified in early February by your Team Manager. -The first 3 relay teams will achieve qualification to region. -1. Full Centre uniform – shirt with age patch, Coles patch, individual number visible on the front. See your team manager if you do not have all these patches. -2. Hat, sunscreen and plenty of drinks. It is a very hot weekend traditionally. If your child has a field event, pack a backpack that can be taken on the field with these items in it. -3. Make sure you have the right shoes. It is nearly impossible to loan shoes and athletes may not compete barefoot in any event. -5. Something to sit on – there is no grandstand, so your own chairs, or groundsheet and possibly shade. Sit in your club area to form a cheer squad for other athletes in your club. -6. Spray bottles and towels are also a good idea. -Barton Park is a grass track, so may be affected by heavy rain. Any wet weather notification will be placed on the Parramatta Little Athletics web site www.plac.org.au . However if there is no website notice, all athletes should arrive at the carnival despite the weather and wait for a decision to be made, and this may involve a delayed start. In the event of wet weather please bring plenty of wet weather gear as the carnival is likely to proceed despite wet conditions. Barton Park has lights and so if the carnival is delayed it will proceed until finished in the evening. -If you know you cannot attend Region, please notify your team manager by the end of the zone carnival. This may allow another athlete to compete. Your team manager will fill in the notification and forward it to the Zone Committee. -The most economical Insulated female & male terminal available.

There are 52 cards in a deck, or 54 if you count the 2 jokers. Our Epilog Zing 40 Watt laser took on average about 40 seconds to laser cut each card. In the examples shown we used Embassy Font. A couple reasons we used embassy font is that it has proven to us to be a popular font, but more importantly the cursive style font connects all the letters together allowing the name to be held in place once the laser cuts it out. As you can see in the photo we purposely attached the first and last letter to the frame of the card so that it would stay in place. (We did have to use a little AutoCAD magic to create the full affect) I'm sure our LXI sign software or Corel Draw could do the same thing. -We plan on offering custom laser cut decks of cards in our store soon. These would make great table decorations, novelty gifts, or just fun unique gifts for that hard to shop for person. They make great conversation pieces and fun room decor. -Middle east and Iraq news from independent producer. -Middle East and Iraqi news. -Provides oil news, gas news, energy news, iraq oil, energy developments, middle east oil news, oil reports. -Breaking news and analysis on energy, politics, security and life in Iraq. -Provide local and international news.

There, officials can test what works and what doesn’t: which corporate tax rates offer the best balance of attracting foreign investment while filling government coffers in Beijing, which labor standards make the most sense, which corporate-governance standards are most advantageous, which immigration procedures are optimal, which regulations stay or go. -Outsourcing? See 2 above with the addendum that Dongmen continues to grow. One of the more recent examples was Foxcomm’s decision to move its manufacturing base out of Shenzhen and turn the Bantian campus into a research and development center. -Leaving aside Pesek’s shaky grasp of fact, his larger point, that Japan needs strong government intervention to grow the economy is based on the idea that tall skyscrapers, industrial parks, corporate tax rates, and immigration laws that work for industry are signs of economic success. Has he completely missed the fact of growing inequality throughout China more generally, but Shenzhen in particular? -The question of growing inequality is particularly relevant because preferential policies have predicated Shenzhen’s competitive advantage. The most famous of the quotations in this regard was Deng Xiaoping’s decision to “allow a few to get rich first”. More to the point, in Shenzhen wages for manual labor remain more or less what they were over 15 years ago, while white collar salaries continue to rise. Meanwhile, the price of housing has gone up even faster than white collar salaries creating a situation in which most young people are trying to figure out if they will be able to purchase a home. -This entry was posted in noted, shenzhen elsewhere and tagged deng xiaoping, japan, neoliberalism, response, shenzhen, special economic zone, william pesek.

Yes, there are industrial processing zones and industrial parks and tax free zones all over the world. In fact, China learned from Singapore and Malaysia and Taiwan before establishing Shenzhen and the other four SEZs. And that’s part of my point: Today most of the world has heard of Shenzhen, but not the Zhuhai, Shantou, Xiamen, and Hainan SEZs; even in China, the rate of SEZ success (if we are judging by neoliberal economic indicators) is limited to Shenzhen, even though there are now special zones of various flavor all over the country. -Chongqing and Chengdu’s contrasting styles to development–with a mention to income inequality. -Curious as to your thoughts on the Chengdu v.

But the nightmare isn’t over. Callie wears the physical reminders of her time as a captive, and mounting evidence suggests the Thief of Souls is still out there. When a fae celebration thrusts Callie and her mate, Desmond Flynn, into the Kingdom of Flora, they take their investigation with them. But under the bright lights and striking blooms of the realm, they find there are more immediate issues to deal with. No place is more uniquely savage than the great fae halls, and no amount of bargains can save Callie from royal intrigues. Fairies play dangerous games. Some want love, some want vengeance, some want flesh, and some want things too unspeakable to utter. One thing is for sure: no one is who they appear to be. Not even Des, who only grows more enigmatic with every passing secret. But the Kingdom of Flora has its own secrets, from bleeding trees to branded slaves and missing guards. Something is stirring in the land of all that grows, and if Callie isn’t careful, it will claim everything and everyone she loves—and her along with it. -Explore the High Country & Follow the Shotover to pristine Lochnagar.

I am not one of those, thankfully. If you do not have this condition you might find the following a little disconcerting. -Since I was sixteen I have been doing my nails myself in all matter of ways, with my speciality back then being french mani. French mani is now not acceptable. I am sure we will see its resurrection at some point, but for the time being it means years in fashion jail, so let's not talk about it. -I grew up being so OCD about how nails should be done that I could no longer face saying, "Ah - that's great!", to a lady at a nail salon that had practically had a seizure with the nail brush on my hand. Even worse; trying to explain what a 'half-moon' is and why I want one nail on each hand a different colour than the others. I became an annoyance to them and their vacuous expressions an annoyance to me. This had to end. -As a result of these symptoms, I have taken to either doing my own nails, or sharing them with a very select circle of nail virtuosos, who can do their magic on them. -The 'Lucky Stripe' started with Art Deco in my head and a 'V' shape up the nail, which then morphed into a straight stripe up the nail, to keep things more 2013/minimal.

This work is important for being “the first printed and illustrated treatise on artistic anatomy” (Skaarup, 254) and the second published original architectural treatise composed in Spanish, following only Diego de Sagredo’s famed Medidas del Romano (1526). Remarkably (and rather mysteriously), some two dozen of Arfe’s anatomical woodcuts in this work are derived from drawings by Leonardo da Vinci (via intermediary copies), providing a fascinating example of how Leonardo’s graphic work circulated in the wider European art world centuries before his drawings were published (Skarrup, 353-4; Röhrl, pp. 40-96, 142-45). The De Varia Commensuracion para la Esculptura, y Architectura (1585-7) – which covers in its four books geometry, human anatomy, the proportions of quadrupeds & birds, as well as classical architecture & contemporary Spanish metalwork – was the “most frequently republished” and consulted treatise on artistic practice and theory in Spain up to the turn of the 19th century (see Bonet Correa, p. 145), appearing in ten editions, the early ones being very rare. Its continuing influence has been recognized by its widespread inclusion in libraries of early Hispanic artists on both sides of the Atlantic, characterized by a “masiva presencia de Vitrubios, Vignolas, Serlios y Arfes” (Soler I Fabregat, p. 149 and passim). The painters Diego Velázquez and Alonso Cano are but a few known to have owned a copy of Arfe (Fajardo, 88-90). -“The success of the Varia in Spain and in Latin America was extraordinary, being a compendium in a single volume of distinct fields of artistic and scientific knowledge, the borders of which were not at the time established with the same categorical precision as they are today” (Bonet Correa, 157). Books Two and Four are the two most historically influential parts of the Varia. Book Two, on human anatomy, is divided into four subchapters on proportion, osteology, myology and foreshortening of the human figure. Arfe claims here a number of influences, including Dürer’s treatise on proportion (1528) and Juan Valverde de Amusco’s interpretations of Vesalius’ Fabrica, but he also mentions the artists Pollaiuolo, Baccio Bandinelli, Raphael, Donatello, Mantegna, Michelangelo and the Spaniards Pedro Berruguete and Gaspar Bezerra (ff. 1v-2v). Arfe comes to the practice of artistic anatomy having spent time as a student training in the dissection theater under the direction of the famed physician Cosme de Medina (d. 1591) at the University of Salamanca (f. 25v), leading scholars to remark that “Nowhere in an Iberian context was the close, even dependent, relationship between anatomists and artists more evident than in Juan de Arfe y Villafañe’s Varia … the Libro segundo is a rare and unique source produced by an anatomically trained artist of the late Spanish Renaissance” (Skaarup, 246). According to Choulant, the Varia “should… be considered the earliest of the numerous works which dealt with anatomy for graphic and plastic artists…” (Choulant, p. 32). -Book Three of the Varia, on the proportions of animals, draws heavily from Conrad Gessner’s four-volume Historiae Animalium (1551-8) and includes, along with depictions of more common birds and quadrupeds, the images of an elephant, camels, ostrich, and Dürer’s famed rhinoceros. Arfe’s horse recalls the equestrian statues of the Italian Renaissance and serves as a reminder that establishing the precise proportions of the horse was also a preoccupation of such artists as Leonardo (in the Codex Huygens) and Sebald Beham (Proporcion der Ross, 1528). -In Book 4, Arfe writes of the Roman ruins in Spain, the architecture of Bramante, Baldassare Peruzzi, and Alberti, as well as modern Spanish architects and those goldsmiths whose work (on liturgical vessels) can be characterized as ‘micro-architecture,’ beginning with the metalwork of his grandfather. Arfe illustrates the classical Orders based on Serlio, adding a sixth ‘Attic’ order, and treats various aspects of architectural ornament. At the time of its publication, the Varia was only the second original architectural treatise composed in Spanish – following Diego de Sagredo’s famed Medidas del Romano (1526) and derivative works of translation such as Villalpando’s Tercero y Quarto libro de Serlio (1552), Zamorano’s Diez Libros de Architectura of Alberti (1582), Miguel de Urrea’s Vitruvio (1582) (Fajardo, 130; Bonet Correa, 158). “Arfe’s treatise, with its more timeless character, transcended its own era” (Bonet Correa, 158). Although the Medidas del Romano of Diego Sagredo appeared in three Spanish editions and further French and Portuguese translations, its emphasis on the ‘Plateresque’ style of architecture contributed to the waning of its popularity during the 17th century, even as the popularity of Arfe’s treatise increased. -Arfe extends Book 4 with a highly original discussion of metalwork, in which he aligns his own specialty with the more theoretically sophisticated field of pure architecture. His woodcuts of liturgical items (monstrance, chalice, aquamanile, crosier, crosses, candelabra, censer, etc.) are given a rigorous proportional treatment, with more sophisticated ‘micro-architecture’ custodias being shown in plan as well as in elevation, in the manner of full-scale buildings. Some of these illustrations depict surviving works by Arfe, while others are taken to be designs for lost or still unidentified pieces. It should be noted that while Arfe – despite the popularity of his treatise – perhaps was unable in his time to elevate his craft as a theoretically complex art alongside painting, sculpture and architecture, in recent times, art-historical research has vindicated his contention that metalwork of the highest quality should be prized not only for its pure material value and symbolic-liturgical importance, but also for its participation in the wider debates about the nature of representation, the supremacy of panting vs. sculpture vs. architecture, etc. -Books One, Two and Four of the Varia are dated 1585 on their colophons, while Book 3 is dated 1587. The first two books are occasionally found bound without Books 3 and 4, and it is surmised that the final two books appeared in 1587 (in spite of the 1585 date on Book 4), after an interruption in printing caused by a fire or a controversy about privileges, at which point the complete work was bound together as seen in the present copy (Fajardo, 72-2; Bonet Correa, 159). -Juan de Arfe was the third in a line of renowned metalworkers originally hailing from Germany – following his grandfather, Enrique, and father, Antonio – and is known to have been active in Valladolid, Sevilla, and Madrid. His custodias (monstrances) at the Cathedral of Sevilla and Avila remain celebrated works of Renaissance goldsmithing in the classical mode, showing the influence of Donatello and Bramante, among others. “Arfe’s last sculptural works of life-size human figures, such as the exquisite tomb monument for the Archbishop of Seville, Don Cristóbal de Rojas, reveal his development as a leading naturalist of the late Spanish Renaissance” (Skaarup, 253; see principally Sanz, and Fajardo for Arfe’s artistic activity). In addition to the Varia, Arfe published Quilatador de plata, oro y piedras (1572) and Descripción de la traça y ornato de la custodia de plata de la Sancta Yglesia de Sevilla (1587), both short tracts on metalwork. -The present copy, intriguingly, carries the apparent signature of Arphe himself on the bottom margin of the title page. This exact signature is also present in the same location in copies now at the Biblioteca Nacional de España and the Biblioteca de Castilla y Léon (effaced), a detail which might shed further light on the early publication history of the Varia. -* Palau 16055; Adams A2003; CCBE s.

Trust me when I tell you, if you walk into a restaurant in Japan, you aren't likely to find teriyaki chicken wings on their menu. That said, Japanese teriyaki sure does turn out a really good version of American chicken wings, however, unlike our traditionally-prepared wings, which are typically plunged into the hot oil of a deep fryer, teriyaki wings, in order to render their signature fall-off-the-bone tender interior with a slightly-crispy, sticky exterior, they require a kinder, gentler treatment. -Broil until bubbly & charring, turning once, 3 minutes per side.

Before a final investment decision is reached, an engineering study must be conducted that will last about two years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars, she said. Construction of the plant is expected to take as long as five years. -Negotiations on the HGA have been continuing “for some time, and the actual commencement of construction seems to be a long way off,” said Jacques Nel, an analyst at NKC Africa Economics in Paarl, South Africa. -“The government’s hard-line approach to dealing with large foreign investors in the natural resources sector also puts a dampener on foreign investor sentiment, particularly when considering the magnitude and timelines of LNG investments,” he said. -The government is working on ways to enable the project to proceed, according to Kapuulya Musomba, acting managing director of the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corp. In April, it invited bids for a transaction adviser to negotiate terms of the project, which was originally scheduled for completion in 2020. -Equinor is the operator and holds the majority of the working interest in Block 2. Exxon Mobil Corp., which has a 35 percent stake, said it’s cooperating with the government to realize the LNG project. -Shell and Ophir Energy Plc hold interests in Tanzania’s Blocks 1 and 4. -The latest copy of the student magazine Critic caused a stir this week after its controversial “The Menstruation” issue. -The magazine was quickly removed from the Otago University campus on Monday night after staff deemed the cartoon cover to be inappropriate. -It wasn’t long before a Dunedin local listed a copy of the free magazine on Trade Me for a cool $40. This is a great example of one of our members trying to make a bit of money and some noise about an issue that's getting a lot of attention in the media. -With over 4,100 views, bidding for this piece of student media history has reached $80 and the auction closes on Tuesday. -At Cosmetic Dentists of Houston, our dental crowns and onlays are metal-free and fabricated from durable and highest quality US-made materials. For more information about crown technology, the quality of our materials and what to expect from the dental crown procedure, please see Dental Crowns, Onlays and Bridges. -The average cost of a porcelain dental crown at Cosmetic Dentists of Houston ranges from $1800 – $2500. Each crown is custom designed by world-class ceramists in our laboratories in Idaho, using highest quality US-made non-metal materials. -You may find less expensive crowns, but we promise you that you will never find higher quality work anywhere else. -Because Porcelain onlays are more difficult than crowns and require more precision to create, many dentists do not even offer them. Dr. Canto, however, is an expert in the art of porcelain onlays and will recommend them to her patients as needed. -A well-done dental onlay conserves healthy tooth structure and is gentler on the gums than a crown. Generally the cost of an onlay is about the same as the cost of a porcelain crown. -If you are in the Houston Texas area, please contact us for a free, no-risk porcelain crown and onlay consultations to get a more exact estimate. -Dr. Canto strongly believes in personalized education for each of her patients and will be happy to consult with you to help you decide if dental crowns, onlays or bridges are right for you. -Call 713-622-1977 or come visit our Houston Galleria office for a Porcelain Crown or Onlay Consultation. -Learn more about your dental options and get all your cosmetic dentistry questions answered by Dr. Amanda Canto, DDS. -Fit Green Protein is a 100% plant-based protein powder made from high quality pea proteins.

It's very easy to make, but as usual, make sure to use incredibly good chocolate, dark, dairy free. -Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (bain-marie). Stir occasionally to help the chocolate to melt and avoid lumps on the side. -Once it's completely melted, whisk in the oil in a steady stream. Then add two-thirds of the sugar, keep whisking: this will help the sugar dissolve in the heat of the chocolate. Remove from the heat. -Stir in the ground hazelnuts, check the temperature of the chocolate is lukewarm and add the egg yolks (you don't want to scramble the eggs!). -Place the egg whites into a clean bowl with about one third of the remaining sugar. Beat with an electric whisk until the whites are no longer clear, then add another third of the sugar. Continue beating until the whites have really increased in volume, then add the rest of the sugar and beat until you have medium peaks (firm with tips that droop slightly). -Using a really large metal spoon, loosen the chocolate mixture by folding in a big tablespoon of the egg whites, then fold in the rest carefully so that you don't lose air. -Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 40 minutes. Test by inserting a fine skewer into the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean, with no batter attached, the cake is ready. -Leave it to cool in the tin: don't worry if it deflate and crack a lot, but that's the beauty of this cake. Crispy on the top, moisty and luscious on the inside. -Put on to a plate and dust with icing sugar before serving. Enjoy! -If you've been around traditional/paleo/real foodies for any length of time, the subject of coconut oil has probably come up. -Coconut oil is a saturated fat that most people unfortunately believe is the cause of health problems such as heart disease, cancer, and weight gain. This false accusation has made us into a low-fat society of “I Can't Believe It's Not Butter” huggers. -But unlike the popular fats like canola oil, vegetable oil, and wannabe butter spreads, saturated fats (animal fats and tropical oils like coconut oil and palm oil) are actually the healthiest fats you can eat and use in a variety of ways. -Here are 5 reasons to eat coconut oil, plus 5 ways to use it. (In case you're counting, that adds up to 10.) Including 33 recipes! -From the very beginning of life, saturated fats (coconut oil is 92% saturated) are beneficial. They contain lauric acid, the same fatty acid found in breast milk, which makes them essential for brain development, from newborns to those suffering from Alzheimer's. -Low-fat dieters may be appalled at the thought, but eating coconut oil will actually help you maintain a healthy weight and boost your metabolism. Saturated fats are directly absorbed into your body for quick energy. They boost metabolism and stimulate weight loss. -According to several doctors, including Dr. Bruce Fife, coconut oil can help protect you from heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative conditions. -5. Bacteria, fungus, and viruses. -Coconut oil helps protect your body from bacteria, fungus, and viruses, and increases immune responses in HIV cases. -Because your skin is your body's largest organ, it absorbs everything you put on it. Studies show that pre-term babies rubbed down with coconut oil instead of mineral oil had faster weight gain and growth. -4 . In your mouth. -5. On baby's sensitive skin. -Coconut oil is the queen bee of all saturated fats. Use it all over your body, inside and out, and discover a healthy alternative to everything from snacks to toothpaste! -How do you use coconut oil? What's your favorite use? What benefits have you noticed? -Can Coconut Oil Prevent Alzheimer's? -Click here to check out Cold-Pressed Organic Coconut Oil from our preferred source, Wilderness Family Naturals. -I use it in my hair, combined with some favorite essential oils. I actually discovered it when I had awful dry, fly away hair. A friend recommended that I use it to keep it tame. I love what it does for that, and for my skin. I use it at night as either a cleanser and/or a moisturizer. -I need to do better about using it in the kitchen. The coconutty taste is somewhat offputting at times. I really prefer ghee but I know the CO is probably a better choice. -I use it for everything! Sometimes o. The ends of my hair, as a face cream(especially at night), oil pulling, as makeup remover, I use it for all sorts of burns, and I use it in cooking.I love cooking my kale in it, but also use it as the oil when popping popcorn on the stove. -I even use it as deodorant. Sounds weird but it works better then anything else I have ever used… And I have tried everything! -I know and believe the value of coconut oil and use it in my deodorant every day but I really don’t care for the flavor, especially when cooking. It overpowers everything. I’ve used the refined in cooking but wonder about how much of the benefits remain after the processing. -What coconut oil do you recommend to add with coffee? -If you enjoy hiking and spending days out in nature, then Washington is one of the best places on the planet to be. Also known as the “Evergreen State,” there are state parks, national parks, national forests, and wilderness areas in each and every corner of Washington that just beg to be explored. While some of your hikes here might be a bit rainy, Washington also gets lots of sunshine each year to help you get out among the trees. These are a few of our favorite Washington hikes to check out next time you’re in the Pacific Northwest! -The North Cascades is a wonderful place to take a hike, especially between the months of July and October. One great hike here is Horseshoe Basin on the East Slope. The trail here is about 12 miles long and gains approximately 1,550 feet of elevation. This is a favorite hike among backpacking enthusiasts because you can extend this hike to be even longer and spend several days or even a week exploring the region. -Mount Baker is known as the go-to ski destination for Seattle residents during the winter, but the forest in this region is perfect for hiking in the summer and fall too. For example, the Chain Lakes hike at Mount Baker can be between two and eight miles, depending on how long of a hiking day you’re looking for. The route gains about 1,700 feet in elevation and can be completed as an easy loop or a longer backpacking trip. Just be aware that there are several off-shoots of the trail, so bring a map so that you don’t get lost. The snow here often extends throughout the spring and early summer months, so delay your trip until August if you want to avoid the white stuff. Plan to spend about four or five hours on this loop hike. -Mount Rainier is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Washington, and a famous hiking route here is Burroughs Mountain. This trail is about 4.7 miles long, has 900 feet of elevation gain, and takes about 2.5 hours to complete. You can find the trailhead from the Sunrise parking area, pass by Shadow Lake, and climb to the White River and Emmons Glacier overlook. Sunrise Camp is about a mile from the parking area if you want to obtain a camping permit and stay overnight. This is one of the most accessible tundra regions of the Cascades with superb mountain views with every step you take. -Another great Mount Rainier hike is Tolmie Peak, which travels to a lookout point and along Eunice Lake. One trail option travels about 7.5 miles long and reaches a high point of 5,900 feet. This is another hike that’s best pursued in August, September, or October. You’ll get awesome views of the mountains, lake, and trees for all your hard work getting up the mountain on this Washington hike. This is a family-friendly hike that you can bring the kids along for. You’ll need a national park pass or to pay the daily fee to enter the park, and plan to spend about three hours on this hike. -Snowy Views on the Snow Lake Trail, Snoqualmie Pass, Cascade Mountains, Washington. -A wonderful moderate-difficulty hike in Washington is the popular Snow Lake Trail, which starts from the Alpental ski area and has lovely views and campsites along the way. The trail is about 6.5 miles long and takes approximately three to four hours to complete for most hikers. You may see wildflowers along the steep and rocky trekking route here, but save your adventure for summer or fall to avoid the potential of avalanches. -Mount St. Helens is a Southern Washington volcano that erupted in 1980 but has been deemed safe to hike again today. You’ll need to get a permit to hike to the summit of Mount St. Helens, which is about five miles each way, and be prepared to hike through some volcanic ash. The top of the mountain stands at 8,365 feet tall and offers amazing views of the South Cascade mountains. Monitor Ridge is a highly recommended hiking route here that is hard but doesn’t require any technical climbing skills. Permits are required year-around, and only a limited number of permits are given out per day between April and October. Gloves are recommended for the ash pumice areas that are harsh on skin, a jacket is also recommended because it is often quite windy on the peak, and trekking poles make this hike a bit easier on the knees. -Another unforgettable national park worth visiting in Washington is Olympic National Park, which is home to the strenuous Mount Ellinor hiking trail. Only attempt this trail if you’re an experience hiker because of the serious elevation gains involved. The hike lasts about three to four hours for most hikers and is about 5.5 miles long. Along the way, you’ll experience lush forests, snowy mountain peaks, and awesome views. This is a hike that is best done between the months of March and November. -The Pacific Crest Trail, or PCT, extends from Mexico to Canada, and some great portions of it extend through the state of Washington. In total, the PCT extends 2,650 miles long, but you don’t need to have that kind of endurance to experience this epic hiking route for yourself. One popular portion of the PCT that you can hike is from Stevens Pass to Snoqualmie Pass. This is a 75-mile portion of the PCT that passes through some very scenic parts of the Cascades. If you have even more time and energy than this, you can hike a 147-mile portion of the PCT in Southern Washington from Bridge of the Gods on the border of Oregon and Washington to White Pass. Just be prepared for some serious elevation gains and lots of climbing and descending to go with your epic views of Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier, and the Columbia River. -Nitrosamine free! Keep baby's teeth and gums clean and healthy. -Click the button below to add the Silicone Toothbrush to your wish list. -Where is the mail stored in the filesystem? -I have zentyal 3 with zarafa configured as the mail gateway. -Where in the file system is the user mail stored? I would like to know for backup purposes etc. -Ie if I was restoring the server from an image what would I need to restore from the backup to recover the mail. -Re: Where is the mail stored in the filesystem? -Found using forum search feature. -Christian is correct. It is stored in a mysql database. Xtrabackup (Percona.com) for live incremental backups or mysqldump to backup just the email. By default mysql is setup for one big file instead of table per file. -Use the ssh connection method with your regular user name. -password is stored in /var/lib/zentyal/conf/sa-mysql.passwd. -This gets you initial connection as sa. You can then add a user with needed privileges to do what it is you want to do. I do not recommend using the sa regularly. I assume that you are going to the mysql-dump route? -Hmm. . . this gets asked often enough that maybe it should be a sticky or in the tips and tricks section. Add on that eventually the email system will get sluggish and prone to crashing because of the "all tables in one file" decision and I think that a decent write up is in order. Sort of follows along with my next free time (chuckle) project which is to play with clustering Zentyal. I haven't forgotten that, christian. Just incredibly busy. -*hint hint* volunteers please step forward.. -Firstly thanks for everybodies help on this. -I'm running zentyal 3.0 (core 3.0.17) so what I'm about to say may not be relevant to earlier versions. -there are a few corrections to what folks have said on here. -The mail isn't actually stored in the MySql zarafa db. I loaded around 8000 mail items into the zarafa and it didn't significatnly affect the size of the database. -The mail and also the zarafa-search indexes (if enabled) are actually stored in the file systm under /var/lib/zarafa. -The configuration files would give the impression that this is just attachments but it appears to be all emails as well. Each email and attachement is stored in a nested, numbered folder structure as a gziped file. -I wanted all my data stored on a NAS rather then on the server itself. This was quite easy to achive for the mail. It was simply a matter of copying /var/lib/zarafa to a new location and then creating a symlink from the /var/lib folder to the new location. -Re: [SOLVED] Where is the mail stored in the filesystem? -I am taking a closer look at users and privileges concerning mysql in the latest version. The file structure that you describe is really just the index. -copy the directory somewhere for safe keeping. -One not of caution -- I don't store attachments outside the database so I can't verify where they are. -Did you setup file per table? If not they are stored in /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1. You will find that ibdata1 is rather large. -BTW mysql doen't play nice over nfs. If you want real-time redundancy, you will have to setup replication (now you are getting into HA and load balancing). -I was wondering about backing this file up. I run automysqlbackup which backs up all the databases. Will this be included somewhere? In the zarafa db backup? I wonder because it's sat outside the zarafa folder? -If you configured it to backup all databases then yes it will do the work. There are pluses and minuses to using mysql-dump. While every mysql install will have the tool, it still demands server downtime while backing up. Incremental, no downtime backups can be had with xtrabackup. -The design decision (not bug) in mysql s innodb engine causes it to become unstable over time in my experience. The database doesn't shrink as you remove data. Instead the file stays the same size and just the row information is removed. It tends to make things too big for the memory and storage footprint after some time. It also fragments the data causing queries to run slower. Normal optimization tools don't work on innodb in the single file configuration. Some will find this as an issue and some will never know. I know because I support 100+ email accounts on my system and it is very active. -Come test your luck on the best slot machine app in the app store.

But it’s so much more than that. -The Joseph story is sometimes described by scholars as ‘the Joseph cycle’. This is a helpful term. In Genesis, there are similarly ‘cycles’ of stories about Abraham (Gen. 12–25) and Jacob (Gen. 26–36); and in other parts of the Bible, there is a ‘David Cycle’ for example (1 Sam. 16–1 Kgs. 2) and one about Elijah (1 Kgs. 17–2 Kgs. 2). A ‘cycle’ in this sense is a series of connected and continuous narratives about a central figure, in which the component parts nevertheless have their own separate coherence and integrity—like episodes in a TV drama series perhaps or like the individual parts in a ‘cycle’ of Medieval mystery plays. -If you’ve ever wanted to take a closer look at this classic Bible story, Living the Dream provides easily digestible chunks to help you get the most from it. Each chapter of the book often aligns with a single chapter of the story of Joseph. -While you’re at it, add another book from the same collection for just $0.99! -This month only, when you get Living the Dream for free, you can also snag God, Pharaoh and Moses for less than a buck. -In God, Pharaoh and Moses, William Ford tackles questions like: why does God send a series of plagues to Egypt?

We’re talking about your baseboards. They’re on nearly every wall, in every room of your home. So, you’ve probably wondered how to clean white baseboards, or really any color baseboards, at least once in your life. It’s something we’ve addressed for you in this guide. In it we show you the easiest way to clean baseboards by breaking down the cleaning steps into varying levels of difficulty and commitment. So, whether you’re actually looking for the easiest way to clean baseboards or are searching for something a little more involved, we have you covered. -No matter what path you choose, you need a plan of action for how to clean your baseboards. Because they’re in every room, you might go crazy if you try to clean every single baseboard in your home in one session. We suggest starting simply and tackling them one room at a time. And once you’re done actually cleaning the baseboards, you’ll realize what a big difference cleaning that little area can make. -First things first, make sure cleaning the baseboards is last on your cleaning list. We suggest doing this because cleaning agitates dirt and debris in your home, and eventually it will accumulate along the baseboards of your home. This means if you start with them, you’ll end up cleaning twice. Or even worse, you may end up with baseboards that are dirtier than when you started cleaning. Once all the other cleaning is done, grab your vacuum and its attachments. Use the crevice tool on your vacuum to clean along baseboards and into the corners where all that pet hair and dirt loves to gather. If you find that a few passes of your vacuum's crevice tool is not enough, this is where the power of steam can really shine to tackle those down low messes. -If you’re not familiar with our PowerFresh® Slim Steam Mop, prepare to be amazed. This machine lets you take the natural cleaning power of steam on and above your floors in multiple ways. When it comes to cleaning baseboards, there are two specific ways you can use this machine to your benefit. First, if you detach the foot, it becomes an extended reach surface cleaner, meaning you can steam clean baseboards without having to get on your hands and knees. The steam mop also converts into a portable handheld steam cleaner with an on-hand tool kit, allowing you to carry tools and switch them out as you clean. Plus, if you’re worried about how to clean wood baseboards safely, our steam machines are safe on sealed wood. However, we still recommend you test your steamer in an inconspicuous spot along your baseboards to make sure the steam doesn’t damage them. -Did you know you should also clean near the very bottom of baseboards where they meet your carpets? Our DeepClean DeluxeTM Pet is engineered with EdgeSweep® Bristles that do exactly what their name claims – they sweep debris along the edges of rooms while you’re cleaning your carpets. Then, just be sure to follow the steps below, so they can really shine. -Are you looking for a last-minute solution for the best way to clean baseboards with things you already have in your home? We can help with that too. For this method, all you need is a bucket, water, some dish soap, and a sponge. Mix warm water and the soap together in a bucket and wash the baseboards by hand. This gives you the opportunity to get up close and personal to any dirt that may be on your baseboards and give any areas that are particularly dirty a good scrub. After you’ve cleaned them with soap and water, feel free to dry the baseboards with a towel. -While you’re washing your baseboards by hand, you may notice the corners are particularly dirty. Don’t worry, you’re probably the only person that’s seen the dirt that up close. And what’s better, cleaning the corners is pretty easy. We recommend using a cotton swab as a baseboard cleaning tool to wipe out that hard-to-reach dirt. If you’re using the PowerFresh Slim Steam Mop, you may also consider using the bristle scrub brush attachment to steam clean those baseboard corners. -The finishing touch on cleaning baseboards is almost as quick as a trip to your laundry room. This is one of our favorite tricks. In fact, it may be the best baseboard cleaner tip out there. We’re happy we get to share it with you! Grab a dryer sheet and take it into the room where you’re cleaning baseboards. Rub the dryer sheet all along the baseboards. This simple task actually helps repel pet hair and dust from baseboards, so they stay cleaner, longer. And that means you won’t have to clean your baseboards as often. -We hope these tips helped you find an easy answer to the popular question, how to clean baseboards, in a way that fits your busy schedule! -There's no better way to honor a bride-to-be than with a bridal shower, but where do you start? Here's your step-by-step guide to everything you need, from picking out the bridal shower invitations to making sure all of the guests have a blast. -First, think themes! Whether you host a bartending tutorial or a trendy retro luncheon, we have plenty of bridal shower ideas to inspire you. Even the guys are getting in on the act with coed bridal showers. If that's your plan, here's how to plan a Jack and Jill bridal shower. When it comes to keeping everyone entertained, there's nothing like a few bridal shower games to create a festive mood. Another upside to planning a few bridal shower games is that they're a great way to get everyone to mingle and to introduce out-of-town family and friends in a low-key setting. And, last but definitely not least, make a plan for the food! Again, your bridal shower theme will be key in figuring out your menu. Is it a finger sandwich kind of event, or is a backyard BBQ more appropriate for your bridal shower theme? And if you want a little help with the cuisine, consider a potluck bridal shower to get everyone involved. Finally, it's time to send out bridal shower invitations! We have all the answers for your bridal shower invitation etiquette questions (do you invite out-of-town guests?), as well as gift suggestions to give the bride (how much should you spend?).

All rights reserved. -The change made by the DPC to NORMAM05/DPC Annex 4-A regarding the regulations for the transfer of personnel offshore is a significant step in moving towards creating an offshore environment that is safe for all workers to get to and from work. -The Brazilian Navy's Directorate of Ports and Coast (DPC) has recently altered the Maritime Authority Standards for the Approval of Material (NORMAN-05/DPC). The most important changes were alteration of item 0408 (Personnel Transfer Basket) and insertion of Addendum 4-A (Rules Governing Personnel Transfer Basket). -According to the DPC, the purpose of the alterations is to help to safeguard human life in offshore operations and to fine tune the safety technical requirements for the manufacturing of personnel transfer baskets - a concern of the Public Prosecution Service for Labor issues, which wants to improve worker safety in transfers between vessels and platforms. -NORMAN-05/DPC Addendum 4-A specifies that the structural features must be able to protect passengers from lateral, vertical and head impacts and must be made of stainless steel bars of tubes and enable buoyant material to be attached around it, so that an entire fully loaded basket assembly is able to float. -In order to meet the Brazilian legislation, Reflex Marine has launched the FROG-6, an operational tool that is able to provide a safe option for personnel transfers. The FROG-6 has been subjected to a variety of impact tests to verify its structural integrity and shock-absorbing capability and demonstrated its ability to self-align and float in water, something that is not possible with the traditional rope baskets. -Sandra Antonovic, the company's Chief Operating Officer (COO), says that, "it is a safer method than the traditional rope basket, because it protects the passengers in the event of a lateral or vertical impact, fall or heavy landing. Furthermore, the buoyancy panels enable the device to float and self-align." -Antonovic points out that the device is able to transfer injured people in safety, protecting them from falls, immersion and lateral and vertical impacts, confirming that, "The FROG-6 is also a safe and versatile transfer device in Medevac (medical evacuation) mode." -According to the executive, this change reinforces Brazil's position and desire to ensure an offshore environment that has minimal operational risks. Antonovic says that, "By prioritising the safety of offshore workers, Brazil is placing itself alongside Norway, the UK and Canada - countries in the vanguard of ensuring that all workers return home safely." -Often confused with the Stiff Leg Deadlift or Straight Leg Deadlift, the Romanian Deadlift (RDL) is a variation of the deadlift that is used mainly to strengthen hamstrings, back, and forearms (grip). -Hopefully, you regularly have deadlifts in your training program, if not, learn how to do so properly. -Deadlifts are the king of leg exercises for a reason. They are a compound movement that hits almost every muscle in the body. Those looking to increase the amount of weight they lift off the ground should look to different variations of the movement to help strengthen weak points. -When lifting heavy, there are two common areas of difficulty; grip strength and lat strength. -As you start to move towards the ground, the bar should stay close to the body, by using the lats. If the lats are not strong enough, the upper back can start to round, leading to rounding of the lower back(not good). The bar should travel in a straight line at all times to minimize the distance the bar moves. -Grip strength is also necessary to control the bar on the way up and back down towards the ground. Lack of grip strength can cause compensations in your lower back, especially as the weight gets heavy. -Along with doing work that isolates the lats and grip, you should also do movements that mimic the deadlift but allow you to build strength on weak points. In a RDL, the bar starts at the top and you lower the bar but only until just below the knee. During the entire lift, you need to maintain proper control and since the bar never reaches the ground, it challenges your grip and lat strength in a great way. -Position the bar at about mid-thigh height. -Walk up and place your hands on the bar just outside of your thigs. -Position your feet around hip width apart with your toes pointed forward. -Squeeze your shoulder blades together and load your hips as you bring the bar down to just below your knees. -You should feel tension in the hamstrings and glutes at this point. -Raise the bar back up to starting position. -Note: The bar never travels to the floor, the reason is that you want to keep max tension on the hamstrings. Your back is also neutral for the entire lift. -This is great movement to add into your workoutsto help work on weak points in your deadlift. It can be done after your regular deadlifts or on a separate day. -Check out this great video from Brett Contreras on how to do an RDL (0:36-1:28). -A federal law that passed in 2008 was supposed to ensure that when patients had insurance benefits for mental health and addiction treatment, the coverage was on par with what they received for medical and surgical care. But until now, the government had only spelled out how the law applied to commercial plans. This week, federal officials released a long-awaited rule proposing how the parity law should also protect low-income Americans insured through the government’s Medicaid managed care and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plans. The proposed regulation is similar to one released in November 2013 for private insurers. “Whether private insurance, Medicaid, or CHIP, all Americans deserve access to quality mental health services and substance use disorder services,” said Vikki Wachino, acting director at the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services. Even if the state has carved out some benefits under a separate behavioral health plan, patients would be protected under the rule. Medicare patients are generally not affected by the regulation, nor are those in Medicaid fee-for-service plans. But the rule does affect the majority of the 70 million people on Medicaid who are in managed care plans, and the 8 million children covered by CHIP plans. -David Wingate is an elder law attorney and practices in Frederick and Montgomery Counties, Maryland.

What started out small has now led to several yearly trips to countries around the world. Recently, our team was able to complete the 100th short-term medical and dental outreach in Zambia. Here are some of the lives you were able to impact in the span of just one day! -Oscar came to our medical tent reporting that he was randomly falling down every month. Just the night before, he had fallen down and sustained a traumatic injury to his right arm. The doctor said that it was the type of fracture that could have very easily severed his main artery in his arm. After Oscar’s examination, it was determined that he had a seizure disorder. Unfortunately, he had no way of getting to the hospital for treatment, so we paid for his transport. By diagnosing his disorder, our team hoped he could avoid future injuries to his body. -Sweet Grace came to our outreach hunched over and suffering for aches that most 89-year-olds would experience. However, she did not have the simple medicines available to help. Our team was able to give her aspirin, blood pressure medicine and pills for her muscles; such simple solutions to the pain she was feeling. Our team was also happy to pray with Grace before she left; “Now after prayer, I feel that my body has become normal. It doesn’t feel as badly as before.” She left standing much straighter! -67-year-old Alex had been having trouble with his eyes for at least two years.

The basic premise is that you find common ground with the people with whom you communicate by using the right amount of self-disclosure, , and tact. -In each conversation, you'll learn more about a person as you toss out subjects and see how they respond. If getting drunker is your thing that's fine, but as you drink more it starts to socially disadvantage you as much as it helps. Keep an open mind, and if the conversation takes a turn to politics, keep it light and do not discuss heavy topics that are controversial. So work on your confidence. People love to be validated and have their ego fed. -It's so hard to sit and listen to the never ending story that she's just told me last week but to try to get out of it just means more drama. For example, if your friend wanted to be a writer, he might get up early on weekends and work on a book. Have a purpose for the connection, rather than approach hemming and hawing around. It doesn't have to be the greatest story ever told, just tell them about something you really enjoyed doing with your mate, like a boat ride or a cozy night by the fireplace when you sat there for hours discussing your top 10 favorite movies of all time. Listening will give you all the material you need to relate, ask relevant questions, and continue building the connection. -The answer is to become socially confident through real-world experience. Thanks Aaron Morton The Confidence Lounge I do this all the time! I like your example of a quick interaction question about coffee and then parting ways. They may even feel stupid and regret sharing their story. If the other guests won't think it's too rude, step aside and pretend to have a text conversation on your phone. Small talk is easier the more you do it, and it also isn't meant for long periods of time or to be shared with just one person. Why does this work and why am I telling you to fake it until you make it? Dog lovers bond over their pets. -After all, you'll never see them again.

Wet, brown grass, the old lavender stalks we never trimmed in fall, pine trees, and bittersweet. I don't care if it's pretty, I'm not painting bittersweet, because I'm convinced it wants to eat my yard and my house and me alive and I just don't like that. -So that doesn't leave much yet, but thank god it's Skunk Cabbage to the rescue! And what better plant to start off with than something that literally heats itself out of the snow? -Skunk cabbage is one of the first plants you'll see in Spring here in New England, especially if you have any moist, boggy areas near you. You'll see the liverish-colored protective buds shooting up through the snow before most other plants, because it won't take no for an answer--it produces it's own heat (60 degrees!) and melts its way through that white crap. Who needs Spring when you can make it yourself? Eventually you'll see the yellow clump of complex flowers and then all the cabbagey leaves. -Of course, it gets its name because it smells like skunk. Or decaying flesh. Or both. I guess when you smell that bad it hardly matters. -Whether you choose a fully bespoke pair of shoes, or choose something ready to wear, you can be assured that your shoes will be made by one person, Thomas Wandall, from beginning to end. They are made here at the workshop in Richmond, California, always of the finest quality materials, using the best techniques vetted by two thousand years of shoemakers (that is, traditional techniques with a few modern innovations). -For fully bespoke shoes, you may choose from among several styles, leathers, toe designs, decorative details, and soles. Of course, the shoe is made after a careful measurement of your feet, a discussion about your fit and style preferences, and an assessment of your stance and gait. -When Tom is not making custom shoes for specific individuals, he makes ready-to-wear shoes using the same quality materials and hand techniques. If there’s a display pair in the shop that you fancy, and if you are fortunate enough that they are in your size, you could walk out of the shop wearing your new favorite shoes. -In addition to men’s-style dress shoes (for men or women), Tom also makes leather sandals in a variety of styles.

PLESKO & ASSOCIATES, INC. -On 19th and 20th of September 2018, a mini-concert was scheduled to be held in front of the futsal field as part of the Autumn Club Festival. Unfortunately, it was raining cats and dogs over the two days, so the performances were canceled. The rain had been predicted several days before, but the Club Association of DKU did not prepare a contingency plan that would prevent its cancellation. The concert was merely delayed and eventually canceled due to incessant rain. This public performance takes a long time to prepare and is held only once a year. Everyone involved made an all-out effort for this mini-concert, but they did not expect a bad ending like this. The Autumn Club Festival is not the only event to have faced last minute challenges that potentially derail the best laid plans. We wanted to know more about these problems and how they were handled, so The Dankook Herald (DKH) conducted interviews with a few members from different campus clubs. -If you are a Dankookian (students of Dankook University), then you must know about the festival Danfesta, held every spring. During this period, there are often weather problems to overcome. Last year, with gloomy forecasts predicted, many Dankookians feared the festival would be canceled. While it wasn’t totally canceled, a lot of events were abandoned or altered for the safety of the students due to the inclement weather. -▲ Lightings and speakers were covered to prevent the rains from flowing in. -During the Autumn Club Festival, many clubs have their own booths to self-advertise. Some clubs even have performances prepared to promote themselves. However, this year, The Club Association had not prepared a backup plan in case of rain. So many clubs had to close their booths, missing a great opportunity to recruit new members and supporters. This was a problem because preventing the festival from closing in case of rain was one of the main promises made by The Club Association when they took over. In addition, in the Kakao-Talk chatroom with the club presidents, the subject of weather conditions came up many times, but nobody offered any specific solutions. They just said they would solve the problem if they had to. This lack of preparedness angered many students. -After the Autumn Club Festival ended, the DKH heard many comments from two club presidents in the Department of Performing Arts. They were disappointed they could not make their long-waited performances. Both clubs had been preparing for the Autumn Club Festival for more than 1 month. They saw it as a great opportunity to showcase the kind arts they do. However, they were disappointed when the events were canceled. The performers had to wait all day before they were given the final decision to cancel the event by the Club Association. President of club b pointed out that this was not the first time the association cancelled performances because of rain. Club members had to cancel their busking performances during the last school festival due to rain. With the cancellation of two performances in a row, understandably the morale of members rapidly declined and the overall mood of the club was depressed. -They said, of course, it would be best if the Club Association scheduled performances on a day when it is not raining, but since they cannot control the weather, they need to develop a plan B. President A said that the Association could rent other venues, like indoor theaters in the Humanities Hall or the student theater in Hyedang Hall. Regardless of how many people attend the event, President A thinks the Association has a responsibility to provide the opportunity they promised, as the students prepared for it for numerous days. President B knows that all promoters of school events work hard for a successful result, but much more needs to be done. Students who do not belong to the school club don’t even know when the festival is supposed to take place. B thinks more promotions are needed to improve attendance and also that they need people who are knowledgeable about electronic devices. A person who is in charge of using electrical devices is critical for the success of the performance, too. -The Dankook University Club Association was in charge of running the festival program. When the DKH asked whether they were aware of the forecast for the time of the outdoor performances they said, the plan was made and planned carefully a few weeks before the event. They realized that it could rain during the planning process and that the mid-term forecast at the time was not accurate for the event date, location, rental date, and promotional announcement date with various companies, so they went ahead with the plan. -▲ This is a picture of many people under umbrellas in the heavy rain at a festival. -When asked if there was a plan B, in case it rained, the association answered, they were thinking of the student theater as the next best thing. They remember it rained on the last day of the festival in 1st semester and the groups preparing for the performance changed the venue to the indoor student theater for safety reasons. But most club members complained about the static atmosphere and the absence of classmates due to the layout of the student theater. As a result, they decided to stick to the outdoor plan, unless it rained too much. -Lastly, when the DKH asked about what measures are taken to address prevailing weather conditions for upcoming events, the association said, when planning events, Dankookians can plan for weather conditions during the rainy season, but they also have many other things to consider. For the event, you need to prepare several contracts and begin planning a few months before and it is impossible to make double contracts to cover unexpected weather situations. So associations need to change the venue and choose a direction that works regardless of the conditions. Unfortunately, the gym and the student theater are places where it is harder to move around as compared to the outdoors, so changing places is not the best solution either. If you can be certain that it will rain, then you can start planning the event in that place from the ground up, but it is obviously unrealistic to know for certain what the weather will be that many months in advance. -▲ Singer PSY performing at DANFESTA 2018 and students wearing rain coats due to the rain. -Through the interview, we learned that the organizers faced a lot of troubles when they were planning the event, how they solved problems, how they dealt with the school and how they understand and sympathize with their members. However, we also learned from club members that they feel the organizers were irresponsible for not being prepared for the rainy weather that was predicted. It is surely the role of the association to strive for the satisfaction of students, despite their organizational difficulties. As we stressed earlier, this has happened before, therefore many people were disappointed and students lost faith in the association. In order to better prepare for future events, the association needs to implement a thorough plan b and strive to restore the trust of the student body. Every association can see this as a lesson and be more vigilant and more aggressive in their actions when planning their events. -At the start of the year we began using their very in depth hands-on history project: HISTORY Through the Ages Project Passport World History Study: Ancient Greece (you can read my review here: A Study in Ancient Greece). It was great, but definitely very time consuming. With summer upon us, I was excited to do a fun, interactive but less intensive mini history course. -We received the Make-a-State Activity-Pak as a downloadable resource, but there is a CD version as well. It’s intended for grades three through eight, but with a bit of help from me, my first grader was able to do the activities, too. The Activity-Pak contains instructions and printables for 20 projects that you can put together into one big Lap Book. The activities include key state facts, a state timeline, recipes, state geography and government, and much more. -A nice thing about this resource is that you can use it for any state, so while we began with a study of our home state of Texas we can use it again later for other states, too. And of course we can pick and choose what all we want to use, so we can do just a few activities if we want to just touch on a state rather than learning ALL about it. And actually, because I’m using this for first and fourth grade rather than third through eighth, I’m not doing every activity in our Texas study, either. -The materials include a set of State Pages with some brief information to use for your key facts and such, but otherwise lets you choose where to pull information from to complete the activities. It also includes a bonus “Name That State!” File Folder Game that can familiarize kids with the shape and location of states, capital cities, and more. -So, I thought at the beginning that we would go through and do 100% of every activity exactly as instructed and just have a blast learning about Texas this summer, but it turns out that I am just not very good at doing big projects, and this one was actually a lot more work than I realized it would be. In all honestly, I think I like the idea of hands on schoolwork more than the actual implementation of doing all the tasks. In some cases, the activities really just feel more like busy work than an engaging learning activity. For example, we chose to not bother at all with cutting out a recipe card and coloring and putting together a piece of the Lap Book for that, because it’s not something my girls cared about at all. A better fit for our family is finding a recipe that Texas is known for and cooking and eating it. -But the state regions activity is nice and simple and educational, and the geography one is very adaptable so we can use in it whatever way best suits us. -Well, that about wraps up my review, but be sure to hop over to the Homeschool Review Crew link-up to see what other reviewers have to say. -Herbert Wise was a director best known for his work on the BBC miniseries I, Claudius. The series, set during the Roman Empire, aired in the U.S. in 1976 on PBS’s Masterpiece Theatre. -I, Claudius garnered Wise, who also notably took charge of casting 236 parts for the project, an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series. The story unfolded over 13 episodes and starred Derek Jacobi in the title role and John Hurt as Caligula. It was also nominated for Outstanding Limited Series and won the Emmy for Outstanding Art Direction for a Drama Series. -Wise received Emmy recognition again in 1982, when he was nominated for directing the television movie Skokie, starring Danny Kaye, Eli Wallach and Brian Dennehy. The telefilm was based on the true story of the predominantly Jewish community of Skokie, Illinois, protesting the right for Neo-Nazis to march in their town. -Additionally, Wise directed Richard Burton as Winston Churchill in the 1997 BBC Hall of Fame production The Gathering Storm, which aired on NBC. Wise directed Jacobi again in the 1996 BBC telefilm Breaking the Code, about mathematician Alan Turing, as well as Albert Finney as the title character in 1984’s Pope John Paul II and Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr in the 1985 romantic drama Reunion at Fairborough. -Wise died August 5, 2015, in London, England.

In “ A Good Man is Difficult to Find, ” the character The Misfit expressed his uncertainty over the instructions of Jesus and God when discoursing with the grandma. He said things refering to the idea of losing his religion after he was incarcerated in the penitentiary ( O’Connor, “ Good Man ” 375-377 ) . He claimed “ It was the same instance with Him as with me except He had n’t committed any offense and they could turn out that I had committed oneaˆ¦ ” ( O’Connor, “ Good Man ” 376 ) . He believed that no affair what he did, he would be punished. O’Connor most likely believed that adult male will ever confront what he has done one time he comes before concluding judgement. The Misfit mentions Jesus and the manner he threw everything off balance by raising the dead. He claimed that if Jesus truly performed this action, so there was no other pick but to follow his words and instructions. The Misfit besides suggested that if what is said about Jesus were to be false, so there was nil else you could make but do the most of your life while you can. His word pick was much more colourful, imputing to his character and the manner he lived ( O’Connor “ Good Man ” 375-377 ) . The Misfit ‘s actions in the narrative besides coincide with the manner O’Connor perceived God. She stated of God, “ aˆ¦God is non accepted by work forces, so they have to be shocked into a acknowledgment of their demand for him ” ( Mayer 5 ) . The pick of words The Misfit uses during his discoursing with the grandma is to a great extent declarative to the writer ‘s background. Such things are frequently suggested by those of the Roman Catholic religion, the religion that Flannery O’Connor herself followed proudly and stated many times through interviews ( Liukkonen ) . -Two old ages after composing “ A Good adult male is Difficult to Find, ” O’Connor wrote “ Good State Peoples, ” showing her positions over the difference in the symbol of the Satan and the darkness of life. When she was asked about the relation between the prankster character Manley Pointer, a immature adult male who posed as a bible salesman, and the Satan, she responded that his character was showing the “ psychological inclination ” ( Hawkes 397 ) I ‘ve pointed out several times that MLA does non let for mentioning in the center of the text. See Purdue Owl. that we see as the darkness of life. When Pointer foremost appears in the narrative, he claims to be a low retainer of Christianity selling Bibles that did n’t want to travel to college due to a bosom status. But as the narrative progresses he tricks Hulga and takes her unreal leg. He even claims that he had done such things several times before in other towns ( O’Connor, “ State Peoples ” 390-391 Shorten the rubric and merely state “ Country ” and go forth the writer and page figure. See Purdue Owl. ) . The prankster character is frequently a pretense for the Satan in many narratives and fabrications throughout Christian instructions. Though one could reason Pointer was a literary incarnation of the Satan, Flannery dismissed this thought. Pointer was simply one who preyed on the faithful for his ain addition ( Hawkes 399 ) . Pointer stated that he had “ been believing in nil of all time since I was born ” ( O’Connor, “ State Peoples ” 391 ) . This character embodies the position that those without religions are lost and merely looking for personal addition. Hulga ‘s character in the narrative was an atheist, much to the discouragement of her female parent, Mrs. Hopewell. Mrs. Hopewell was n’t portrayed as a devout Christian, but she did transport the beliefs and ethical motives of the religion. It even stated that her personal Bible was perchance in the Attic someplace ( O’Connor, “ State Peoples ” 383 ) . The belief that seems to be common between the characters in the narrative “ Good State Peoples ” and O’Connor herself is that if you are in fact good state people, so everything will be good and that their Godhead will judge them kindly when they leave this universe. O’Connor used this message because she shared the same belief, coming from the people she lived about and was raised by ( Friedman 233 ) . -A author ‘s environment and upbringing are ever dominant factors in the manner they portray characters and state of affairss throughout their plants. O’Connor was raised in the “ Bible Belt ” part of rural Georgia and was the lone kid of a strongly Roman Catholic household. Her male parent died of Lupus when she was at a really immature age. Over the class of her life, she acquired her instruction and began composing many southern based narratives and pieces such as the two narratives already discussed. After she was diagnosed with the same disease that killed her male parent, she stayed closed to her household place in Milledgeville, GA and continued authorship, integrating her spiritual beliefs into them with the manner Christians should lodge to their way. The at hand sense of the inevitable strengthened her religion during her ulterior old ages. Once she passed off in 1964 ( “ A Study of Flannery O’Connor ” ) , her plants and peculiar authorship manner were left for everyone to analyse and review. But the contents of all of her Hagiographas still contain messages, ethical motives, and instructions of spiritual political orientation ( Abbott 3-8 ) . -I love crafting and creating communities! I love the crafting community because of the focus on sharing and learning as well as making. Right now I'm mostly into weaving, but I also do crochet, embroidery, natural dyeing/ shibori, and macrame.

The technology has yet to be deployed commercially, but the unparalleled predictability of the movement and intensity of tides suggests it has clear advantages for the power industry, versus some of the other renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power. -According to an Atlantis press release, ocean power, which includes tidal current power, wave power and ocean thermal energy conversion, represents a vast source of energy estimated at between 2,000 and 4,000 terawatt hours per year. The US and the UK combined have sufficient ocean power potential to meet around 15% of their power needs. -Having spent 10 years developing its turbines, Cornelius says Atlantis is now ready to become the first tidal power developer to establish mini-arrays (essentially farms or fields of multiple subsea turbines of 1 or 2 megawatts each). This will allow it to aggregate the necessary data about environmental and turbine performance before it moves on to apply for permits for projects of a much more significant scale. -These commercial projects should see the company turn cash flow positive in 2011, he adds. -The company has had a 150KW turbine installed and connected to the grid in Australia since 2006 and is hoping to build up its generation capacity there, but it is also actively looking for several other sites both in Asia and Europe where it can set up trail arrays. It is currently evaluating potential installation opportunities in the Pentland Firth off Northern Scotland, in the Bay of Fundy and in British Columbia off the east and west costs of North America and off the coast of South Korea. -China also has the potential to become a “huge” market, according to Cornelius, since the company’s Nereus turbine that is suitable for shallow-water can be deployed not just in tidal oceans, but in rivers too – and that is a resource that China has a plenty of. Atlantis also has a second type of turbine, the Solon, which is a deep-water turbine that can be installed in some of the fastest flowing currents in the world. -We all know that the TV shows nowadays are all scripted even though they are said to be reality. I remember that night Sky broke down and talked about her kids..,it even choked me up. Check out the interview below which features Sky's baby daddy and her son. -This was Reinsdorf's reply on Friday when asked whether the preseason announcement that Phil Jackson will not return as coach of the Bulls next season is, as the French saying goes, a fact accomplished. -And the notation on the desk of Reinsdorf, the owner of the Chicago Bulls, also indicates his position regarding Michael Jordan's often-stated contention that he will play for no other coach than Jackson, and he will play for no other team than the Bulls, which would mean no Jordan filling up the nets next season. -The Bulls make their final regular-season appearance at Madison Square Garden this afternoon against the Knicks, and it seems inconceivable that Jordan will not return for yet another year, and that neither Jackson nor Scottie Pippen will be with the Bulls, either. -Jordan, still the world's greatest hoopster, is leading the National Basketball Association in scoring for the 10th time in his 14 seasons. Even at age 35, he is playing as good an all-round game as ever. Fans, players and team executives know this, so it can hardly be lost on Jordan himself. -It is also obvious that His Airness -- a little less airy these days and a little more earthy but ever sovereign -- is having a grand time at his occupation, and satisfying that remarkable lust for competition and success that has made him an indomitable basketball player. -Jordan has changed his mind before, remember. He quit basketball to play baseball and quit baseball to play basketball. -But hadn't decisions already been made? As recently as early February, Jerry Krause, the Bulls' general manager, reiterated that Jackson would not return next season, after having led the Bulls to five championships and, if the best-laid plans of Krause and his men do not go awry, to a sixth come June. -The personality, or perhaps ego, clash between Jackson and Krause is no secret. While he hired Jackson, Krause also believes that after a certain time, a general manager and a coach may tire of each other, as, has been said, Jerry West and Pat Riley did with the Lakers, thereby compelling a change. -In fact, personality clashes between Krause and some of his players, including Pippen and Jordan, and assistant coaches over the years have been no secret. It seems, however, that Krause has had no such conflict with the owner of the team. But it also seems clear that Reinsdorf has sought for Krause and staff to zipper their lips in regard to what may transpire at season's end. -Still, Reinsdorf's respect for Krause as a basketball operative is lofty, and for good reason. Krause became general manager in 1985, the year after Jordan was drafted. Six seasons later, the Bulls won the first of their championships. -''Everyone on the first championship team except Jordan was acquired by Krause,'' Reinsdorf said. That included Pippen, astutely attained in a trade for his draft rights and now seemingly headed elsewhere next season as a free agent, although who knows for sure. -Pippen, who will be 33 in September, doesn't talk to Krause, but he does talk to Reinsdorf. And while Pippen is said to be seeking a huge five-year contract, Reinsdorf said he had yet to hear anything like that from Pippen, who has been bitter about what the Bulls have been paying him but has also been making plenty of money with endorsements. -Krause took a chance on Dennis Rodman. He found a place for Steve Kerr. He traded a nonentity, Stacey King, for center Luc Longley. He traveled for years to Europe to court Toni Kukoc, and finally snared him. He saw the possibilities in Ron Harper's career being revived. -Yes, Krause has had Jordan all this time, but Jordan found that he couldn't do it alone. He didn't win his first championship until his seventh season in the league -- with a requisite ''supporting cast,'' as Jordan termed it. -Krause has surely made mistakes, too, such as some draft picks. -Krause, meanwhile, sometimes says things without a veneer of suavity. He can rankle in his bluntness, or, sometimes, in his evasiveness. And possibly he is frustrated in not receiving much of the due he believes he deserves. -When he received his championship ring for last season along with the rest of the team at the season opener at the United Center, the boos for him were evident. It was odd, since if he had been the general manager of five championships in, say, New York, he could be Mayor of this town -- and on a write-in ballot. -So at what point do you make a decision to break up the team? -Looking at their history, it is manifest that as a twosome neither Krause nor Reinsdorf is so stupid or driven by ego that he will perpetrate the sublimely imbecilic. -The view here is that Jordan will definitely be playing next season with the Bulls, with or without Jackson. But the odds of Jackson returning appear healthy, as well, especially if the Bulls win another title. -If there is one exception to ''Nothing is written in stone,'' it is this: It's a bottom-line game. -sailboat. : The sweetest home accessories! -You know when you see something that you don't really need but you do really want to have for reasons you can't quite fully explain? Well, that's exactly how I feel about pretty much everything from Qualy. Until a few weeks ago I had never heard of the brand, I had a Zalando voucher and just happened to stumble into the home section where I spotted the sweetest home accessories ever! -So, I didn't really need a pink bunny with scissors for ears, a carrot magnet and green paper clips for the carrot top but as soon as I saw it, crazy bunny lady over here was instantly adding it to my basket and hitting checkout! I'm really impressed with the quality, I did think the £15 price tag was a little much but I've changed my mind because the scissors are actually really good, it doesn't feel or look cheap in any way and, well, it's undeniably cute! I love it so much! -Qualy Log & Squirrel Flower Pot! -I'm not known for my green thumb, in fact I'm notoriously rubbish at keeping plants alive but I'm going to try and be better now I have this super cute flower pot! I don't have a plant to put in it at the moment but I'm actually really excited to go and get one, any excuse for a trip to the garden centre I'll happily take! When there's water in the bottom the squirrel floats up, which is perfect for a plant killer like me because I'll always know when I need to add some more water. At £25 this certainly isn't cheap, but again I'm really happy with the quality & everything comes apart so I think it'll be really easy to clean. To be honest it was the little squirrel that totally sold me on this, look at those sweet little eyes, too cute! -Do you have a favourite home accessories brand? -Do you have anything from Qualy? -The only thing that I found with the pot was that somehow the roots have gone down the string and completely intertwined with it so I won't be able to use the pot for another plant in the future :') Still absolutely adorable though! -I really love the Qualy range, I've been fancying the bunnies for agfes, have you seen the paperclip ones as well? -DUh, I meant the tape one. -The desk bunny is just sooo lovely! -You got the bunny! Jealous, it's totally on my list after you posted about it before. That plant pot is exactly what I need too! Horrible at watering plants and keeping them alive. We even just tried again recently with some herbs. Sad days when they die! -Super adorable. I love the pink bunny! -These are so cute! I love them both, the squirrel is such a fab idea, too. -Oh my goodness, I want them both! So freaking adorable. -Oh my goodness. I need one of these in my life, this would totally perk up my desk at work! -Far too much love for these things! -Omg! How adorable is that bunny?! -Oh my, the squirrel is just too cute!!!! -Oh my dear, these are so so cute! I adore the bunny. It stole my heart. -That desk bunny is actually the best thing I've ever seen, their things are so lovely! -Oh my, these are a bit too adorable eh!! -Every year the Denver Film Society is proud to honor the impact of these vibrant cultures with CineLatino, a four-day film festival celebrating the hottest in Latino cinema with exclusive premieres, receptions, and special events. -This year’s programming will have something for cinema lovers of all ages and interests.

And, this time the plan was to push our bikes to a 10 days plan and explore a state, if possible. Probable destinations that came to our mind were Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Gujarat. Argument started over coffee and we felt Rajasthan would be too far for us to ride from Bangalore and Maharashtra looks best during monsoon and hence we were left with Gujarat. This was something which each one of us wanted to do, especially visit the Rann of Kutch and I very well knew that this time we are going there for sure as the planning started in full swing. Although it was initially me and Saquib who kicked off with the planning and research, we decided to pull in some close pals of ours who might be interested for this long road trip. Sunil, Tapabrata, Ashish and Eshwari (who would be joining us from Gandhinagar) showed immense interest in our plan and we were more than happy with the group which formed now. We decided to start for the trip on 31st January, 2014 (Saturday) and come back to Bangalore by 11th February, 2014 (Wednesday). -The days crossed by and our excitement meter was becoming unstable day by day. We were meeting at times, just to check if everything was on track, ran through the route map again and again so that everyone knows the route very well. Unfortunately, Sunil could only be starting by the second half of Saturday and hence he targeted to join us directly at Gandhinagar. -Few days before the ride started and we hit a major setback: Saquib had a situation in his office and his could not get the leaves approved. This came as a big blow to get us because he was the person who was the mastermind behind this mega plan and all of us wanted him to be part of our group. -Day 1 started with me, Tapabrata and Ashish riding from Bangalore and our target was to halt at Pune. We decided to start around 4 am in the morning to avoid all the early morning traffic. Once you are on the road, you hardly get to know what time it is, and it always surprises you. This stretch being arrow straight road, you tend to fall asleep, especially when your tummy is full. With couple of breaks including breakfast, lunch, tea and most importantly, photo breaks, when we reached outskirts of Pune, around 8 pm in the evening and we started looking for lodges along the highway. After few searches, we ended up at a decent enough lodge with an adjoining restaurant where we decided to bunk for the night. -Target for Day 2 was to reach Gandhinagar as we had already booked a hotel and the group was supposed to rendezvous at the hotel. So, as planned, we got ready as soon as possible and got out on the highway by 4:45 am. It was chilly as usual and I was shivering with cold, but on the other hand, the roads were completely new for me as this was an unknown territory for me, so feeling cold was at the back of my mind and watching out on the road was always my priority. We crossed beautiful places like Lonavala, Khandala and with the rising sun at the back of a train of hills, the scenery looked beautiful which made us stop at multiple places for pictures. It was an eventful day, starting with 3 of us entering the Mumbai-Pune Expressway by mistake and ended up paying up fine to the cops, to having lip smacking vada pavs for breakfast to sudden increase in the traffic, especially of the tucks and trollers which kept on testing our patience all throughout the highway in Gujarat to getting stuck at the infamous Golden Bridge in Bharuch for 2 hours and last but not the least, falling prey on big potholes on SH 3 near Ahmedabad and losing my taillight. By the time we reached Gandhinagar, it was 10:30 pm and dead tired. Eshwari was waiting for us at the hotel and when enquired about whereabouts of Sunil, we came to know even he had issues with his bike near Mumbai and he could not proceed further as well. That was a moderate blow to our itinerary, but more importantly, we needed some rest. -Rise and Shine Day 3. We got the rest what we wanted, and I found a mechanic to fix my bike's taillight. So, after having breakfast from the hotel, we headed towards Sabarmati Ashram and Sabarmati riverfront in Ahmedabad, after which we headed towards Radhanpur. The initial plan of visiting Patan was dropped because of the delay of Sunil's arrival and instead, we decided to approach our next destination, the Little Rann of Kutch. Blissful tarmac all throughout, this is what we expected and heard about Gujarat and everyone of us were happy to ride on them. The more we approached Radhanpur, we noticed a change in the landscapes. We were no more surrounded by lush green fields, rather now we were able to see barren lands welcoming us from time to time, a notable decrease in vegetation. We crossed Radhanpur and headed towards Santalpur where we decided to bunk for the night. Constant touch with Sunil made us aware of him approaching Radhanpur for the night, so he can catch up with us the next day. -It was ought to be an exciting day, Day 4 it was. With the help of google location, Sunil met up with us at the guest house we stayed overnight and after sumptuous gujarati breakfast, all 5 of us headed towards Little Rann of Kutch. We approached a village after taking diversion from the NH and the moment we entered the village, there was chaos and obvious interest about us, where we coming from and all those stuff. It was like the entire village has come to greet us. Some older folks asked us where do we intend to go to which I asked about the little rann, they guided us to the right direction. We were already off the tarmac and the path was full with sand and we slowly made our way to the rann. And within few metres, we entered the little rann of kutch. A vast, barren land, with no trees, no water, hot and you could see the horizon all around you. It was an amazing feeling the moment I stepped into the rann. People started parking the bikes and start photo shoot, while I took some time to let the feeling settle down and finally pulled out my camera. Spending a good 1 hour at the little rann of kutch, we headed our way back to the guest house, it was time to check out and head towards Great Rann of Kutch! When we crossed the village of Lodrani, the Sun was getting ready to start its plunge towards the horizon and I started doubting whether we would be able to make it to Dholavira on time. Less I knew that I would encounter something magical on the way that would make us drop the plan of going to Dholavira and would make our day special. We got the first view of white rann few kms after we crossed Lodrani. So beautiful, magical feeling it was with cold rays from Sun over the horizon that we were spellbound with it and ended up stopping. No words can express that feeling and I was already having goose bumps seeing the beauty of nature. It took me quite some time to settle down, and believe that I am here, finally. We were so "awwed" by this place that we decided to stay there till the sun set. Mesmerized by the beauty of nature, we slowly started off from the place. We decided to drop the plan of visiting Dholavira because it was already dark and instead we headed towards Samkhiyali where we bunked for the night. -We started our Day 5 riding to Bhuj, our base for the next 2 days. It took little time for us to look for a decent accommodation and once we got freshened up, we headed for Kalo Dungar after lunch. We already had the permits prepared on our way though, which was a simple procedure. Kalo Dungar is the highest peak in the entire Kutch region and you get a spectacular view of the white rann from the top. We parked our bikes at one side and started walking towards the view point. Strong wind was gushing on our faces all along. The moment I saw the view of the rann, i seemed to me at the first moment if I am actually dreaming, or is it real! Ashish walked up to me at that very moment and said: "Can you believe we came this far?". I could not answer, it was the same feeling even I was having and what I wanted at that point of time was to simply enjoy the view. We continued from Kalo Dungar towards India Bridge in some moment's time. Road has been excellent all throughout the leg of the day and not even a single pothole was to be seen anywhere. We approached India Bridge around 4 pm, took some shots except the bridge (Photography of the India Bridge is prohibited by law), where Sunil went over to the jawans for some chat and in few moments, we made our way back, this time towards the White Rann. We did not want to try Dhordo which was already populated due to Rann Utsav and instead headed towards Jamkundaliya, where there was a BSF check post at the entry of the rann. A Bengali and a Kannada jawan stopped us from entering this restricted area and after few conversations and request, they did let us in the rann. The moment we left the check post, the tarmac vanished and red soiled road started. After few meters even that disappeared and we ended up in a dusty and sandy road. We held our breaths and in no time, we entered the white rann! We could indeed see lot of slush on both sides of the truck-tracks and although, it de motivated us a bit, because we expected a plain surface, but after few meters, all the slush disappeared and we were surrounding by white rann. Anywhere you see, we would see only the horizon with some hills at a distance. This is what we wished for! Everyone started yelling with joy, and roared their bikes on the plain surface of rann! Eshwari, who was on the thunderbird, was so excited that she pushed the accelerator hard and kept the throttle going, and we sped past few Kms. Amazing experience I must say, maybe this is the same experience which people gather at the Salt flats, Bonneville! Eventually she came to a halt trembling with sheer excitement! It was the moment where you feel that you riding all the way to Gujarat from Bangalore is success, all the tiredness vanishes the moment you are here. This was one of my best days yet, less would I be able to forget about the experience. We returned back to Bhuj for the night. -Day 6 started off as a gloomy day, with Eshwari returning back to Bangalore. We had our bikes serviced at Bhuj and headed towards our next set of destinations, the Lakhpat and Narayan Sarovar. When we approached Lakhpat we could see desert all around us, on both sides of the road and a fort, standing tall in the middle of it. A road made of sand went through the fort with lot of diversions and I took one of them and started going towards one of the walls of the fort. I could see few faces peeping from few houses, eager to ask me about my whereabouts, but I ignored them and continued. After exploring some other lanes in the fort, I headed back to the fort entrance, continuing towards Narayan Sarovar. I must say that the place looked superbly beautiful and I experienced one of the best sunsets of my life here. There was a temple right at the edge of the sea (Koteshwar temple) and it was being maintained by the army. There was a checkpost right at the end of the pier and civilians are normally not allowed to go beyond that point. So, we parked our bikes at the very spot from where we could see the sunset. After good 2 hours spent at that very place, it was time for us to finally leave towards Bhuj. -Destinations to be covered for Day 7 was Mandvi, before we head towards the another crown of Gujarat, The Gir. Main attractions of the day were the Wind Farm beach, dotted with windmills along the beach and the ship building yard. Both places were worth visiting and it was a delight for us to be there, after which we headed towards Morbi to shelter for the night. -Day 8 seemed excited as he headed towards Junagadh, the gateway to Gir. We were welcomed by family of our friend who had made arrangements for our stay for the night in Gir at The Wilds Villa resort. The resort did not have any fencing and when inquired, we came to know that the day before, two lions had come over to that very place. Take that! And we were excited. The setup was splendid though with bonfire setup around 3 "charpai" where we lied down the moment we completed our dinner. -We were all excited to start the Day 9 early with the Gir Safari. However, due to lot of crowd at the ticket counter, we could not manage tickets for the early morning 6:30am one, but got the tickets for the 9:00am safari. As the Gypsy cruised through the jungle trail, we sighted deers, peacocks, langurs and a solitary Asiatic lion. It was not what we expected, but the guide told us that it need sheer amount of luck to sight lions in Gir and most of the safaris go back without even sighting a lion, to which we felt better. We left Gir and headed towards Vadodara, and honestly speaking each none of us were excited anymore, we did not want to leave this exciting and vibrant state and 10 days in this state was simply not sufficient, we felt that we needed at least 10 more days to explore more. -Day 10 and we headed towards Pune where we were supposed to take shelter for the night. It was a boring ride all through to Bangalore on Day 11 when we finally reached home, exhausted and with a feeling "We did It". -The Washington Wizards practiced and watched plenty of film Friday after losing the season opener at home to the Miami Heat the night before, coming to one conclusion: They must rebound better in order to win. -Miami out-rebounded Washington on Thursday 55-40, with a 22-7 advantage on the offensive glass. The most egregious offensive rebound came on the Heat’s final possession, when a Kelly Olynyk put-back with 0.2 seconds left sealed the 113-112 win. -Brooks said the team lost Thursday because of mental mistakes, not effort. -The Wizards were also hampered by foul trouble, particularly starting center Ian Mahinmi, who picked up two early fouls and finished with three points and one rebound in less than 12 minutes of action. -Fortunately, the Wizards have 81 more games to improve. -Meanwhile, Wizards center Dwight Howard conducted full-court sprints and drills. He also ran some set plays with rookie and first-round draft pick Troy Brown Jr., Devin Robinson and Thomas Bryant. -Brooks said Howard remains listed as day-to-day as he recovers from a piriformis injury, a muscle in the buttocks. -The Toronto Raptors and star forward Kawhi Leonard visit Capital One Arena on Saturday. Leonard, who went north from the San Antonio Spurs in a blockbuster trade in the offseason, notched 24 points and 13 rebounds in his Raptors debut Wednesday. -For the second straight game, Washington will host a team on the end of a back-to-back set. The Raptors play the Boston Celtics at home Friday night. -The Transatlantic Slave Trade: 500 Years Later, Are We Still Slaves? -“Do you really think you’re perfect?” The preacher asked. -Some people act like they’re perfect. Or our faulty memory thinks our loved ones are or were perfect. -I recently read a facebook post by a friend who was told by a fellow Christian that he rarely sinned. He opined that he was not a sinner, but a saint. Actually, as my friend observed we can be both sinners and saints at the same time. Saints can and do sin. -As Christians we are not perfect, but we are pardoned. We’re not sinless, but we’re sanctified. We’re not faultless, but we’re forgiven. We learn that our failures don’t have to be final or fatal. -I might be well to remember that some of God’s greatest heroes failed. Some miserably. -Yet, they didn’t quit. They didn’t allow failure to define them, discourage them or defeat them. Their failures were forgiven. And they pressed on toward the prize. That’s what we must do. -We must be willing to admit our failures. Confess our shortcomings. And repent of our sins. We are a work in progress. Ever striving to be conformed to Christ instead of our culture (Rom. 8:29; 12:1-2). -The late and legendary basketball coach John Wooden reminds us, “Failure isn’t fatal, but failure to change might be.” Or as the great British statesman, Winston Churchill observed, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” The Christian life is about change. Growth. And persistence. -Like the apostle Peter, we can begin again. We can put together the broken pieces. Refocus our eyes on Jesus. And even with our past flaws be restored to faithful service. Let us pray as David did: “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit” (Ps 51:12). -There is hope. There is help. There is healing. -There is a forgiving and gracious God. -Ken, thanks for this. I’m sure I needed it more than anyone else this morning…. -Originally formed in Champaign, Illinois, REO Speedwagon is still led today by keyboardist Neal Doughty (founding member since 1967), Kevin Cronin (who has fronted the band since 1972 on lead vocals and guitar), and bassist Bruce Hall (who joined in 1977) – along with lead guitarist Dave Amato (member since 1989) and drummer Bryan Hitt (since 1990).

The complexities of healthcare access and financing were clearly shown in a moving life experience of a 13-year old Nigerian orphan named Praise Sunday during a church service on Sunday 12th February 2017 at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), Lagos, Nigeria. -In an armed robbery on May 8th 2016, Praise Sunday tragically lost his mother and sister. During this ordeal, the young boy, whose father passed away several years earlier, sustained life-threatening injuries to his throat. -Praise and his extended family members sought medical assistance across Nigeria, depleting their financial means as he underwent seven surgeries. Left with a tracheostomy tube in his throat which enabled him to breathe, he was completely unable to talk and communicated only through writing. In September 2016, they sought aid at The SCOAN, a religious institution known for its extensive charitable endeavours. The General Overseer, T.B. Joshua, through the humanitarian arm of his faith-based organization, financed a delicate and complex health procedure carried out in Life Vincent Pallotti Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa. -Specialists, Dr Martin Vanlierde and Professor Mark De Groot, undertook the corrective surgery to restore Praise's ability to both breathe and speak normally again. The procedure was successful and his speedy recovery exceeded expectations. The total cost of Praise's travelling expenses, welfare and medical bills was US$50,000 - all financed by T.B. Joshua's faith-based organisation. -During a live broadcast of his story on Emmanuel TV, T.B. Joshua addressed the congregation, encouraging faith leaders and medical doctors to work together to address the societal conundrum, related to healthcare access today. He said: "If God's servants and doctors work together, there will be no limit to what they can achieve. The medicine doctors use comes from nature and our God is the God of nature." -The SCOAN has previously financed other medical trips, including a Nigerian policeman who received more than $25,000 to be flown to India for a complicated medical procedure to restore his damaged urinary system after he was shot by gunmen during duty hours. -With their collaborative effort, faith-based organisations, such as The SCOAN, which helped turn a young boy's ordeal into an inspiring story, can largely enhance healthcare access and its financing. -CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (CEBPa) is a transcription factor involved in the regulation of myelopoiesis.

These modules feature Texas Instruments’ OMAP & Sitara families of single and multi-core processors tightly integrated with the Spartan-6 FPGA from Xilinx. This architecture provides system designers with the flexibility to address a wide range of system requirements. -Given that all modules in the family are pin-for-pin compatible, and that each is available with and without the on-board FPGA, this family readily handles evolving product requirements, or those of a family of products requiring various levels of processing capability. -Note: Interfaces in the OMAP-L138 & AM1808 share I/O pins, contact Critical Link for information on whether your specific set of interfaces are effected by on-chip pin muxing. In addition to these integrated interfaces, the on-board FPGA allows for additional standard and custom interfaces to be added to the module’s capabilities. Using Critical Link’s library of available FPGA I/O cores, designers can easily add a variety of additional interface support to their designs, or design their own custom interface or logic to offload the CPU subsystem. -Please choose a security question What is your birth place?

(The "prime rate" is another frequently used benchmark.) Any adjustable rate loan or other financial product tied to a benchmark will follow that benchmark’s movements up and down. -For example, if the margin (the percentage added to the benchmark rate) on your adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is 1.25% and the LIBOR is 2.5%, your interest rate would be 3.75% (1.25% + 2.50% = 3.75%). In this scenario, if the LIBOR increased a quarter percent, to 2.75%, your new rate would be 4.00% (1.25% + 2.75% = 4.00%). That could be a significant increase on a larger loan, resulting in many thousands of dollars extra interest paid over the life of the loan. Likewise, a lower LIBOR would save you money on interest payments. -If you have a fixed rate loan, the LIBOR does not affect you. If you have an adjustable rate loan, your loan documents, and possibly even your monthly loan statement, will tell you if your rate is tied to the LIBOR. If you can’t find the information there, you can call your loan servicer and ask. -In the "LIBOR scandal" of mid-2012, accusations were made that LIBOR had been manipulated by the banks that determine the benchmark's rate, allegedly since the early '90s, to either make money or to make their bank and the banking system as a whole appear stronger. Because in that particular instance the interest rates had been manipulated downward, average borrowers with LIBOR mortgages, student loans and other forms of credit most likely benefited from the manipulation. However, some consumer and institutional investors may have experienced lower returns on their money. -Anyone who's ever seen Disney's 1991 animated classic "Beauty and the Beast" or watched the musical on stage knows that no one sings like Gaston. The only question is which Gaston sings best? -Two contenders — Hugh Jackman, who played the baddie back in the original Australian production of the musical in 1995, and Luke Evans, who's taking on the role in the upcoming live-action film — have raised their massive mugs of beer and put their vocals to test. -British talk show host Jonathan Ross set up the challenge to find out which man best brought the brawny narcissist to life.

I was not told that a position was being held for me, so I assumed that there was no job for me. It was a horrible 3-4 months not knowing what was going to happen but seeing everyone else around me get job offers. -This time, I was kept in the loop about my future. I was put forward as a candidate for our carrier-grade Wi-Fi unit. I had one interview with my future boss over a late lunch, then a second interview with a future co-worker. -The new role is in a customer-facing role, different from my technical/project leader role I have held over the last 10-11 years in CDMA. My role will involve up to 50% of my time traveling to customer sites for testing, demos, proof of concepts, technical support and even some training. -In the interviews, and re-emphasized by the HR prime, everyone wanted to make sure I was ok with the travel demands. I spoke with Rosa and had an honest appraisal of my desires, and agreed that I would welcome the travel. -With that, I was offered the job and I accepted. -Today is my first day. It is a different office building than the rest of the Ottawa teams. But I already know many people from Ericsson (and even one from Nortel). -I have spent the day going through the training program again.

Improve production. -Operating directly behind the drill bit, the iPZIG at-bit inclination and gamma ray tool provides real-time measurements that reduce directional drilling risk in critical hole sections. The early indication of changes in lithology, delivered by the gamma ray log, helps to accurately land horizontal wells. -Designed to operate as two separate subs, a lower sub, located directly above the drill bit, acquires data and transmits data to the upper sub, located above the drilling mud motor. The upper sub provides communication to measurement/logging-while-drilling systems. -The iPZIG can accommodate flexible bottomhole assembly (BHA) designs, and is compatible with any drilling mud motor. iPZIG provides the closest to the bit sensor offsets available in the industry and is the only tool to provide both gamma and inclination at the bit. These measurements are used to help determine well path placement and determine position in real-time while drilling. -The iPZIG sub is an accurate, cost effective geosteering solution whether drilling for optimum reservoir drainage, setting casing, or just to determine position real-time while drilling. -Just as good as I hoped they would be. -The workmanship is very good We are pleased with our choice of fabric/colour and the overall effect (we had a new carpet as well) looks great. -Plumbs give an excellent service. -My loose covers fitted perfectly & they have been admired by all my guests. -Service was fast, efficient and I had a feeling of good personal care which you do not get with commercial furniture suppliers. I did not have any problems with my order, but if I had, I'm sure they would have been dealt with in the same efficient manner. The Plumbs Rep was very helpful in helping me choose the fabric which is perfect and has transformed the room. -The upholsterer Mr Hinton of Carlton Uphostery did a fantastic job on my settee and armchair, always precisely on time and took real pride in his work - cannot praise him too highly, as the large sofa was VERY difficult to manoevre out of and back into the house! And all within a short space of time. -Very helpful staff who did an excellent job. Very pleased with my new covers. -The service was excellent being able to select fabric and discuss your requirements in your own home with a very courteous and knowledgeable young man was perfect. -Plumbs provides a superb service!

What she’s not so sure about is how she feels about Ben Solo, former star pitcher for the New York Yankees and now a disaster waiting to happen. -or, what if henry noticed earlier. -Rey is the new unknown dancer to Dancing with the Stars and Ben is her first hotshot Star. Rey thinks he’s stuck up and hot-headed, but a very hard worker wanting to get everything perfect. They definitely have chemistry immediately and start dealing with their feelings for each other from the beginning. But with all this pent up feelings, will they get to the coveted mirrorball??? A partnership inspired by our favorite canon ship and Team Stop and Go (James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess) on DWTS. -Three years after escaping her obsessive neighbor, Ben Solo, Rey tries to make a new life and let go of the past. When Ben escapes the mental facility he’s being held in, she quickly learns that the past won’t let go of her. Sequel to ”Ligature Marks”. -Margot Shetterly spoke at FSU. -FAYETTEVILLE, NC (WTVD) -- The author of "Hidden Figures" shared some inspiration Tuesday with students at Fayetteville State University. -Margot Shetterly's book, "Hidden Figures" was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated movie about black female mathematicians working for NASA. -It was a packed house at the Seabrook Auditorium. Shetterly's speech was a part of the chancellor's distinguished speaker series. Many wanted to hear from the author who introduced us to the untold story of four trailblazers for African American women - Dorothy Vaughn, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson and Christine Darden, who is originally from North Carolina. -Shetterly walked the audience through what it took to write such a profound book. She spent countless hours of research dedicated to capturing the stories of these pioneer women who helped launch astronaut John Glenn into outer space. -Shetterly said she wrote the book because she didn't want their contributions to continue going unnoticed. -If you do not have a Website, Open an FindOffer Web store to improve your Retail store traffic. -Subscribe your Website for automated item submission and make them available in FindOffer search.

No more than 12 babies at any one time create our little perfect paradise. -Here, babies learn to sit up, roll, crawl and eventually take their first few steps. Following on from the wonderful start life they will have had at home, our staff are trained to meet each baby’s individual needs and routine. -Our Poppies (and their keyworkers) love to get messy, from paint, sand and water that is on offer all the time, to jelly play, gloop and play dough – these are just a few of the sensory opportunities we plan daily. As well as this books, construction, home corner and heuristic play make up the rest of the playroom. -And when we are all tired out, there is a cosy sleep area to rest in until our batteries are re charges and we start the fun all over again!! -Just shortly after your child’s second birthday they will move to the Daisy Room, this is where the fun really begins!! -Having newly discovered walking, running and climbing there are lots of physical play opportunities in this room. The children have a large undercover outdoor area allowing them freedom to play in or out at all times. -The Daisy team love mess just as much as the Poppy’s and so creative and sensory opportunities continue to be one of the main focuses in here too. -Being 2 years old is so exciting, the Daisy children now have more words and love to sing and dance and have so much energy – from nursery rhymes to stories, train tracks to dollies, dinosaurs to painting pictures there is so much to do, the children never want to go home!! -The children in the Daisy room have the opportunity to join in Wiggle and Roll sessions at the local gymnastics club (where Kimberley is a Coach) Yoginis (Yoga for mini people) Dance & Movement Music and Singing sessions. -Meet our pre-school children, here our eldest children are busy getting “School ready”. -Enjoying all the fantastic opportunities the children downstairs have, Sand, Water, Book, Construction, Painting, Role play and Investigation areas, these children also enjoy numbers and patterns, ICT and computer work. We introduce the children to letters & sounds sessions, with an emphasis on “Jolly Phonics”. -The Sunflowers have their own delightful roof top garden, which also has an undercover area for all weather play. -These children also get to enjoy all the fabulous extra curriculum opportunities as the Daisy’s but also get to go swimming once a week too. -We love being outdoors in the Sunflower Room and so use the local park all the time, “Muddyboots” is a part of our curriculum that allows us to explore nature and the world around us, especially as we have the park right on our doorstep!! -Staff loosely follow the principles of “Forest Schools” and with our wellies, waterproofs and water bottles off we go for a fun filled adventure every time!! -All our children work towards the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The children under 3 mainly work on the PRIME AREAS of the curriculum – *Personal, Social & Emotional Development. *Communication & Language & *Physical Development. -Once the children become really secure in these areas, our skilled practitioners then introduce the SPECIFIC AREAS – *Literacy, *Mathematics *Understanding the World & *Creative Development. -The Bluebell room is a multipurpose room, used by different groups throughout the week. Children attending for just the free 15 hour sessions will have their 3 hours per day delivered from here. All children aged 3 – 5 are entitled to a free 15 hours per week place (the term after their 3rd birthday) as well as some 2 year olds. -Sessions are morning or afternoon 8.45am – 11.45pm or 12.15 – 3.15pm. -The room is bright and spacious, again with its own garden – all the usual provision areas can be found from painting and drawing to construction and role play. -This room is also used for Breakfast and After school club with pickup and drop offs at Whitegate End, New Moston & St Margaret Marys primary schools. -Holiday care will be available subject to demand. -(HOST) As the season for summer blockbuster movies about super heroes and rings of power approaches, commentator Willem Lange is feeling nostalgic for other mighty champions of yesteryear. -early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoof beats of the great horse Silver! The Lone Ranger rides again!" -How many times I must have heard those lines, and how impressive they must have been, to be remembered 70 years later? -means stupid in Spanish? What did kemo sabe mean? – boss, or pal, or champion of justice, or paleface idiot? -When I was little, there was no radio in our house; our parents were deaf. Our grandparents had a big table-model Philco in their parlor. Just as kids nowadays tease for an iPhone, I kept asking for a radio until I got it. A tiny, dark-brown Bakelite-cased Arvin, it sat on the sideboard in our dining room. -Every weekday, from 4:45 till 6:00 in the afternoon, I pulled my long-legged chair up to the sideboard, turned on the radio, and gazed at the dial. Many of you must remember "watching the radio" and memorizing the numbers of the AM dial, from 520 to 1610 kilohertz. I could tell from the glances I got from my parents as I sat there – sitting still for longer than at any other time in my life – that they suspected I was listening to something inappropriate and possibly sinful. -At 4:45 a voice crackled over a simulated radio transmission: "CX4 to control tower. CX4 to control tower. Standing by…" The answer was immediate: "Control tower to CX4. Wind southeast, ceiling 1200. All clear." -"This is Hop Harrigan, coming in!" So it went: five 15-minute episodes, featuring Jack Armstrong, Captain Midnight; Terry and the Pirates, and finally Tom Mix. -Evenings, there were half-hour shows – The Green Hornet; The Shadow, in real life Lamont Cranston, "wealthy young man-about-town" who once in the Orient had learned to "cloud men’s minds so they cannot see him." -Everything we imagined was the product of our separate minds’ eyes. When the Lone Ranger walked across the board platform of a railroad station, each of us constructed a different scene. It was like the famous "driveway moments" on Public Radio; you could do nothing else demanding thought while you were into an on-air drama. Listening to archived recordings now reveals it to have been pretty simplistic drivel. Still, wasn’t it glorious! -(TAG) You can find more commentaries by Willem Lange at VPR-dot-net. -Read more "KLM/Schipol v Kalitta Air gets nastier as JetBlue gets involved!" -Read more "Turkish Airlines orders even more freighters" -Read more "Russia agrees to allow US overflights at last minute" -Cargo Crunch…Anyone got a spare freighter? -Read more "Cargo Crunch…Anyone got a spare freighter?" -Read more "ANA orders 2 777F’s" -Read more "Air Cargo Capacity stagnant as demand rises forcing up prices" -Read more "Air Cargo had its best ever year in 2017" -So you want a college degree. -In the USA, about the only acceptable answer is “Chaaa, to get a bitchin’ new Camaro, hombre!” If you are a parent and already have a bitchin’ Camaro, you want your children to go to college so they, too, can afford their own bitchin’ Camaros. Education is just that important! More education, more Camaros. -Do you think I’m cynical? Do you think I consider my countrymen to be that crass and — heaven forfend — stupid? -Well, yes I am. And yes, yes I do. -I’ve based my conclusions on a lifetime of observations of what Americans truly value. It isn’t education, really. We don’t care what kind of low-brow, thick-fingered troglodyte dullard you resemble as long as you have good credit and faithfully participate in consumerism. A college education has traditionally been the best path to full citizenship, where you extract the maximum compensation from a corporation in order to pay for dumb stuff that’s supposed to make you happy and obviously better than others. -So really, I support free college for everyone. I’d like college degrees to be so common that they no longer represent any potential income advantage at all. I’d like to see the market flooded with not only liberal-arts majors, but also engineers, doctors, scientists — everything. At that point, we’ll all be living with mom until we’re 40 while working at Starbucks, and this whole spurious correlation of degree with income will be a distant memory. We’ll get to study whatever we want, and to get back to actually valuing education over GM’s answer to the Ford Mustang. -You with me on this? I hope so. -Anyway, when politicians on stage talk about making college more available or even free, some people in their audiences get excited. The people who get excited are people who haven’t yet gone to college, or parents of people who haven’t yet gone. Then, there are those who get resentful. These are the people still making college loan payments. -In the minds of the people who get excited there floats one specific image. It’s not an image of long nights spent inhaling the wisdom buried in books, nor hunched over a laptop writing the one research paper to end all research papers. It’s not an image of long conversations on campus with other seekers, when all come to some new mutual understanding of a truth revealed. It’s not an image of a lifetime spent as an enlightened citizen armed with the knowledge and cognitive tools to make good choices in one’s community and to truly participate in democracy. -No. The image is of a yellow Camaro. With stripes. Just like Bumblebee from Transformers. -So perhaps it’s only just that college not be free after all. It’s not really about education, see. It’s more like a business. Put in your 4-6 years and your $100K-$250K and if you’ve played your cards right, you have income for life. But the only way this can work is if there is some entrance fee. Gotta keep it exclusive in some way. There aren’t enough Camaros to go around. -First, install the dependencies. This is for Ubuntu Server 14.04. -Create a new file (e.g. launch-spot.py) and give it exec permissions (chmod +x launch-spot.py). -The script is less than 200 lines long and should be readable from top to bottom. -Set your Amazon AWS access keys as environment variables. -Or you can read the boto documentation to find out how to store the keys in configuration files. -Waiting for launch . . . . . . -Waiting for instance to boot . . . . --n stands for --name and it is how you can identify this spot instance. -The profiles are hard coded in the script. Feel free to modify the script to load them from an external configuration file (in JSON perhaps). -You can run the script again and as long as you use the same name it will resume. -To run a script on this instance via SSH use one or more -s arguments. -Connecting to SSH [54.74.149.116] . -You can copy & paste the last line in your terminal and connect to the instance. -As you can see, if you haven't specified key_pair in the profile, a new key pair will be created with the name KP-test and it will be saved as KP-test.pem. -If there's no security_group in the profile, a new one will be created with the name SG-test and the rules from the firewall profile setting will be applied. At a minimum, SSH from your IP should be allowed. -If you want to stop the spot instance, simply run sudo halt on the instance. The instance, the instance request and disks (if auto terminate is on) will automatically be shut down and terminated. -If you use a simple bash script, I suggest using one like this. set -e will stop the execution if an error occurs. If the script finished successfully, it will not be run again. -If you share a provisioning script with Vagrant and AWS, you can use this line to check if you are running on AWS EC2 or locally on Vagrant. -Amazon Ubuntu mirrors and apt-get can be slow and flaky. Especially if you hit CTRL+C while the script is executing apt-get and then run it again. -Create a file system on the instance disk and move /home, /tmp and /swapfile to it. This can be useful on large SSD backed instance disks. -To upload/download files to S3 on AWS and use local files in /vagrant when running in Vagrant, you could do something like this. -We are halfway through utility and other construction on 1300 East between 2100 South and 1300 South! Come get updated on progress and the Spring 2019 construction phase of the project on Thursday, December 6th. -The event is a public open house at East High School Commons, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Representatives from SLC Department of Public Utilities and the City’s Engineering and Transportation divisions will be on hand with maps, information, and answers to questions regarding the nearly completed sewer and water line work and upcoming road repaving, curb and gutter rehab, bike lanes, and transit stops. -We anticipate the entire project will be completed by late Fall 2019. -Helesti Daye-Fourie never leaves her house after dark. The risk of being carjacked and shot standing in her own driveway is too high. -Every day after picking up her eight-year-old son from school, the Johannesburg mum-of-two takes a different route home, eyes on the rear-view mirror. Her 20-month-old toddler sits in his car seat behind her, where he can easily be grabbed at a moment’s notice. -That’s because Ms Day-Fourie doesn’t want her son, in the event of an attack, to be trapped by his seatbelt, dragged along outside of the car and killed — as happened to a four-year-old boy whose parents and sister were forced out of their car by three armed men in nearby Boksburg, just 30 minutes away. -In Centurion, an hour’s drive away, a two-year-old was shot in the head during an attempted carjacking earlier this year. -Here are several examples of my work in charcoal portraits. -If you like what you see and are interested in commissioning me to do a portrait for you, feel free to contact me and we can discuss it. -A dramatic charcoal portrait of yourself or someone you love is something that will always be appreciated, and can be passed down as a treasured heirloom. -I don't do it for a living, so I have no set procedure or pricing. But I won't do it for free! -The following images are between 80 and 120 kilobytes in file size. -The slightly annoying animated picture above of the greatest composer of the 20th century (Shostakovich) was drawn in the Paint program that comes with Windows. It's a very basic program (why else would Microsoft give it away with their operating sysem?), but you can still do some effective drawing with it provided you have the patience. I drew this with the mouse in five sessions, saving a copy at the end of each session. Then I imported the folder containing these five files into the Imageready program of Adobe PhotoShop and created an animation out of the drawing process simply by running each file sequentially. It's interesting to see the drawing process through time lapse images.

This experience may not be encountered again for many years for most hunters, so you need to be made aware of the questions a taxidermist will ask you and what you need to Mounted Whitetail Deerask them before contacting a taxidermist. You also know that you will have the animal mounted by a reputable taxidermist. Selecting a taxidermist can be almost as challenging as harvesting your new trophy. -What Room will Display the Mounted Animal? -Where are you going to hang your new trophy mount? The room in which the mount will hang is a contributing factor on the pose you will select for the mount. There are so many poses available! If your ceilings are around 8′ high or a basement den, the ceilings are not likely to be vaulted. How tall are the antlers? A full upright taxidermy pose might require the mount to hang low on the wall. There are three basic form poses – upright, semi-sneak, and full sneak. With an upright form, the neck is in a vertical position almost parallel to the wall. The semi sneak form has the neck and head down at approximate 40 degree angle off the wall. The full sneak pose has the neck at almost 85 degrees from the wall. For a low ceiling, a semi sneak or full sneak may be the better choice for your new trophy mount. -Time to Interview The Taxidermist! -Where can I see some of your work? You need to look at their work very close. Look at the eyes, is it a natural look or does it look like the animal is bug eyed? Feel the back of the head between the antlers and slide your hand down the back of the neck. Do you feel the Stitches they used to sew the hide together? Has the hide shrunk? You will not notice this with true tanned hides. -Found your Taxidermist ”Enjoy” your Trophy! -The return time of your trophy mount is not as important as the above questions if you feel you have found the right taxidermist to do the mount for you. It should still be around 1 year, but 1 1/2 years is not uncommon! The Last this is the cost of the mount. How much is it worth to you? If you think you have found the right person to mount the animal the actual cost should not impact your decision. After all you get what you pay for!! -Be Prepared buy a Quality Knife! -Your knife is your best friend when you are in the outdoors and trying to survive. The survival knife is a tool that can be used in so many ways; it is the most invaluable tool you may possess. There are literally hundreds of different knives to choose from but you should be choosing one before you leave for the outdoors. -Buy a Survival Knife that fits YOU! -Size: You want your knife to be small enough to carry but large enough to be used to cut branches from trees, butcher meat and even for digging. -Sharpness: Your survival knife should be sharp at all times especially when you first purchase it, if it isn’t sharp then, then it never will be. -Balance: Your knife should have a good balance to it, meaning the blade and handle will complement each other. When you swing the knife, the weight if the blade should be doing a lot of the work. Try a few knives and you will notice how they differ in balance and pick the one that best suits you. -Good Handle: The handle of the outdoor knife should be comfortable to use and preferably made of wood as this means it won’t slip as much. -If possible try and get a knife that is fixed blade. This means that the blade of the knife doesn’t fold in. A fixed blade knife is more reliable and safer to use as some folding knives don’t lock well or can slip and cause injury. Always make sure your knife has a good sheath, leather is the best kind, and that it is sheathed when not in use. -A Good “Sharpening Stone” is a Must! -The proper care and maintenance of your knife is extremely important and should be a daily ritual when it is in use. Sharpening the blade is essential and the best way to do this is to purchase a sharpening stone. Diamond sharpeners and other type of sharpeners are good but none of these do as good a job as a sharpening stone in the hands of someone who knows how to use one. Your knife’s blade should be sharpened to a point that is not too steep and is still thick enough not to chip. -To properly use a sharpening stone, it is best to dampen it first and then move the blade over the stone in a circular motion on angled so that you are removing the burrs and chips from the cutting edge, you will feel it when you get that perfect angle. When Sharpening the blade it must be simultaneously flipped to get the best cutting edge possible. A sharpened blade should have no burrs and the angle of the cutting edge should be constant. -Your knife is your best friend when in a survival situation. Choosing the right Survival knife and maintain it by keeping it very sharp knife sharpener are lessons that should be learned before heading to the great outdoors for some Outdoor Survival fun. -We mention self-determination because it is an issue elsewhere that was witnessed by the disintegration of the United Soviet Socialist Republics. States such as Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, Latvia, Ukraine and others sought to stand on their own and ponder their future. And they are making strides in their own humble way. -In South Sudan the 30 year political marriage was fought along national and religious lines. Those in the north are Arab and Islamic while those in the south, the new state, are African and Christian. Keeping them together proved to be a recipe for disaster. -One of the worthy sons of the African soil, former President Thabo Mvuyelwa Mbeki, was the main “midwife” in the delivery room of this new born baby. We owe much to this African despite some having tried to downplay is effort to the extent of boasting about clipping is wings so that he could not deliver on the assignment. There is no doubt that Mbeki is wont to live his African dream and has to be supported as much as he has to be commended for a job well done. -Independence should of course not be treated like a Christmas party. Just like a funeral or a wedding, on the day of the occasion there are so many people that those involved hardly have anywhere to sleep of move but soon after the guests have left, the celebration over, the hosts are left to their destitution again. In independence the nation has to be fed, infrastructure has to be provided, governance has to be in place and above all peace is expected to reign. In South Sudan that is not the case as there are issues to sort out such as borders, their armies are still facing off against each other. The oil-rich province is the main bone of contention. -The call by Baleka Mbete, the national chairperson of the African National Congress, has to be supported. That country needs help and expertise to get it going. If South Africa is to lend a hand, we hope a South Africans of goodwill will be engaged. -It should not be a matter of only those in the majority party who are deployed there. We support Mbete’s call that all those involved in whatever sector of business, be it manufacturing, mining, agriculture and technology should not be shy to establish themselves in that new country. -Let us pray much the strength of Mbeki for his fortitude and the work that still lies ahead such as finding solutions to the serious outstanding issues. We hope the South African government will rise above their myopic and jaundiced judgment by making resources available to him as the success he achieves falls on the government to bask in. -President Jacob Zuma should, as he promised on the occasion of the celebration of the South Sudanese independence, ensure that the infant state will be assisted to stand on its own feet lest the international communities make us a laughing stork. -We cross our fingers and hope this nation will grow to take its rightful place among other nations of the world. -Welcome to Forces Reunited the place where you can find information and friends from HMS Manchester. -We can reunite you with your friends who served at HMS Manchester and we have a wealth of information on different units, bases and ships in the site. -Below are just some of our members who have served at HMS Manchester. -Why not, I am not only doing a repetitive work but also earning but also getting a good salary by the company Regarding Intermediate Card Tender.

Scott Balcerek directed this new documentary about an unlikely musical partnership between Sterling ‘Satan’ Magee, a southern-born guitarist and Adam Gussow, a white, younger, Ivy League educated New York suburbanite harmonica player. It traces how Magee, after stints with such greats as Ray Charles, James Brown, King Curtis, got tired of seeing how black artists got exploited and took to the streets of Harlem to play strictly for the people. A chance encounter with Gussow, a grad school drop out and part-time street performer turned into a 12 year collaboration that took from the streets of New York to stages all over the world, a cover story in Living Blues magazine and an appearance in the U2 concert film and soundtrack Rattle & Hum. The doc also covers Gussow’s efforts to reconnect with Magee, who, after suffering a nervous breakdown, stopped performing and all but disappeared, as well as their dramatic return in 2005. Though music plays a formative role , the love and mutual respect they have for each other is what really fuels the film. A doc that will move and inspire.

I get a lot of customers who come to me complaining of Zipp hub problems such as short bearing life and needing constant adjustment. This is not terribly surprising as Zipp really builds race wheels more than anything but many many people use them to handle the bulk of their training too. While I think Zipp makes some amazing rims that can handle training volume their hubs leave something to be desired, especially if you spend much time in the rain. To get my customers the best of both worlds I really like how building a Zipp to a White Industries T11 works out, not only are the hubs incredibly durable but they roll really really well so you end up with wheels that are fast enough to win any of the worlds biggest races but durable enough to train on day in and day out! -Sick and tired of dealing with hubs that do not want to stay adjusted or bearings wearing out quickly in less than perfect weather? If you don't mind voiding a warranty this is the most elegant solution to all of your hub troubles, re-lace your rim to a White Industries hub! That way you get the best of both worlds and no compromises, one of the best rims out there laced to one of the smoothest and longest running hubs you can buy! -This is the news you’re looking for. -Carrie Fisher has seemingly confirmed to Palm Beach Illustrated magazine that she will be returning to that Galaxy Far, Far Away for J.J.

Her latest labor of love is The Golden Age: Poems of the Spanish Renaissance (August 2006). -Q: What led you to work on contemporary texts? -A: My first reading of Pablo Neruda’s poetry. -Q: Why return to your roots, the late 15th-17th centuries? -A: Translating Don Quixote in 2003 was serendipitous. Once I recovered from my shock at the request, I realized how exciting it would be. Once back in the mindset of the Golden Age…I thought it would be wonderful for people to get excited about [Renaissance] poetry. -Q: How did you choose the works in this anthology? -A: I chose poems I like very much by poets I like very much. -Q: Can these poems have popular appeal? -A: Poetry doesn’t make for bestsellers, but I think these poems can appeal to readers because they are brilliant and beautiful poems. -Q: How can Spanish Renaissance literature help us understand Latin American culture? -A: The more a person reads great literature, the more that person understands the world. The human condition is similar enough throughout time to be open to the insight gained from literature. -Q: How does an author’s use of language affect the way you translate? -A: If a writer is using an elaborate, baroque style…or a very clean, spare style, I do my best to write that kind of English. I’m trying to allow the reader in English to experience the text in a way that’s comparable to the way the Spanish-language reader experiences it. -Q: When you’re working on contemporary literature, how collaborative is your approach to translation? Does the author have a role in the process? -A: The author collaborates as much as he or she wants. Some authors are not interested in seeing the translation until it’s published, and even then I’m not sure if they look at it. Others like to see the translation before I submit it to the publisher. I’m always glad to do that because they, of course, have an insight that’s denied to everyone else in the world because it’s their book. Normally I don’t speak to the author about the translation until the very end, when there are always a handful of terms and words that require an explanation from the author. -Q: Which authors whose works are only available in Spanish would you most like to see translated into English? -A: There is a wonderful Spanish author named Carlos Rojas. I think one or two of his novels may have been translated into English, but not widely distributed. He is one of the most interesting novelists I’ve read in any language. He’s a remarkably talented, intelligent, gifted writer, and I think he’s a great territory waiting to be discovered in English. -A weight management supplement.

BS PSY II. World warming and climate change are terms for the observed century-scale rise in the common temperature of the Earth’s local weather system and its related effects.

At the time when powerful supercharged “Kompressor” machines ruled the racing roost, the BMW 328 Roadster – weighing just 780 kilograms and developing a modest 80 horsepower in series production form – was a genuine sensation. The success of the BMW 328 lay in the sum of its parts: rigorously applied lightweight design, ideal weight distribution, aerodynamic lines, the perfect engine and a meticulously tuned chassis delivering flawless roadholding. All of which allowed it to underpin a fresh understanding of what a car could be, one which saw the engine’s output teaming up with the optimum interplay of all the car’s component parts – and complemented by maximum efficiency – to achieve success. These qualities enabled the BMW 328 to embody the values that still underpin the BMW brand today: dynamics, aesthetic appeal and a high degree of innovation. -BMW 328 made its debut at the race track in June 14th, 1936. 34 runners were listed in the sports car category of the International Eifel Race. Seven of these were entered in the 2-litre class, and five were BMWs. Four were “Typ 319/1” cars, the other Ernst Jakob Henne’s snow-white Roadster. The car stood out from the crowd, its body boasting far more flowing forms, a curved front end with a pair of slim, kidney-shaped air intakes similar to those of the BMW 326 presented at the Berlin Motor Show that spring, headlights integrated into the front wings, a low, sloping windscreen and a bulbous rear end. Out of sight, yet most certainly not out of mind after the car’s lap times in practice, was the new engine lurking beneath the bonnet. The sound rumbling to the surface through the bonnet’s two leather securing belts indicated the presence of a six-cylinder unit producing maybe 80 or even 90 horsepower. -Henne’s dream race and the premiere of the BMW 328 have gone down in Nürburgring folklore. But that wasn’t the end of the story: the victory of the new sports car, whose internal designation “Baumuster 328” did not appear in any of the gushing race reports, marked the start of a legend. -And so the BMW 328 had taken its maiden victory in its debut outing at the Nürburgring. The win was to be followed by more than 200 others over a lifespan that lasted into the 1950s. It was a run of success unparalleled by any other model in its class; few other cars have left such an enduring impression on the company’s motor sport history as the BMW 328 with its 2.0-litre straight-six engine. -After the triumph at the Nürburgring BMW set about conquering race tracks far and wide with a trio of BMW 328 prototypes. The universally positive reaction to the maiden victory of the new BMW sports car at the Nürburgring had sparked high expectations. There were some initial problems under sustained loads in the French Grand Prix at the high-speed Montlhéry circuit, but the flow of fastest laps and victories soon resumed. As early as August that year British BMW im-porter H. J. Aldington swept to glory in the Schleißheimer Dreiecksrennen race at the wheel of a BMW 328. And it was Aldington who urged the BMW top brass to enter another race outside Germany. A triumvirate of prototypes in green Frazer-Nash-BMW livery lined up for the Tourist Trophy in Ireland – and promptly sealed a clean sweep of the top three places. -Since its maiden outing in the 1936 Eifel Race, the BMW 328 had quickly established an iron grip over Europe’s race tracks. For the engineers in Munich, however, this was no reason to take their foot off the gas. Instead, they worked flat out on increasing the car’s original output of 80 hp. Rival manufacturers had already boosted their engines to something around 110 hp, but a significant rise above that level was not expected. There was certainly little scope to further reduce the weight of what was already a lightweight car in standard production form. At that stage, reducing drag seemed like the only way to increase its speed. The curvaceous form of the 328, with its prominent front wings, may have been a masterstroke of engineering and design, but it was less than ideal aerodynamically. And so the BMW engineers set about designing a totally new body based on the latest knowledge from aerodynamics research. The Roadster was followed by a Touring Coupe and Kamm Coupe racing cars. -The BMW 328 continued to enjoy success in international competition into the 1950s. This makes it one of the most successful racing cars in BMW’s long history in motorsport. Car races were far from a regular event in post-war Germany, but when they did happen, a handful of BMW 328 always featured prominently in the starting field. Many drivers carried out modifications to the aerodynamics and engine of their cars, and some even employed their own teams of mechanics. Indeed, independent drivers were now enriching the racing scene as designers, creating racing machines brimming with imagination and improvisation. Into the 1950s, more than 10 years after its introduction, the BMW 328 and its offspring from various body manufacturers were still dominating the 2-litre class. -Do You Need a Master’s in Education Degree To Qualify for Tenure? -If you are currently an educator or you are mapping out the route that you will take to become one, you may want to know if you need a Master in Education degree to qualify for tenure. To work as a full-time, tenure-track educator, you must meet certain requirements and prove that you are skilled and passionate about your role. Tenure offers you great protection in your career but every state and educational system has their own path that you must take. Read on, and find out when a master’s is and is not required. -What is a Tenure and Why is it So Important? -Tenure is technically defined as the right to due process so that high schools, colleges and other educational institutions cannot legally fire a teacher or professor without providing evidence that they are not competent or they have been inappropriate, according to the National Education Association. Since evidence must be provided and there is an entire process that school officials must follow, only about 2% of professors on the tenure-track lose their job annually. -To get your tenure, you must complete a probationary period and show that you are professional and competent in your role. While a professor is on probation, it is okay for the seniors in charge of hiring to fire the professor without cause at any time and go with a new faculty contract. The senior professors in charge of evaluation will work with administrators and new non-tenured faculty to evaluate their research capabilities and how they service the classroom to decide if they are deserving of tenure. If there are not recommended for tenure, the professor will lose their job and probation starts over when they begin under a new teaching contract. -How Long Does it Take to Become a Tenured Educator? -Only about one-third of college professors are tenured faculty, and this is a major cause for concern in the field. If you are hired on the tenure-track in a college setting, it typically will take about three years at a junior college and seven years at a four-year college to be granted tenure. If you are working in a high school, middle school or primary school, everything is based on the state law that applies to public schools. -Some states have five-year requirements and others have 10-year requirements where all public school teachers are considered ‘on probation’. The average tenure-track duration in the United States is about seven years when you average the laws across the country. -You might assume that getting a graduate degree is the number one way for getting through probation, but that is not always the case. A master’s degree in education will help you strengthen your knowledge on curriculum development, instruction, administration or counseling, but it is not centered around teaching specifically. It is more focused on the educational system than educating your students like a Master’s of Arts in Teaching. -One drawback of having your master’s before you are tenured is that it tempts the school to let go of you and secure a contract with a young, Bachelor’s degree holding teacher who will cost less. If you wait until after you are tenured, the school cannot let you go because you decided to advance your education level. -If you would like to research types of M.Ed. programs that you can take and schools that offer them, it is time to seek out accredited programs. Once you know that you do not need a Master in Education degree to qualify for tenure, start focusing on teaching first and then focus on graduate programs. -Attributes of ultrastability as an adaption mechanism in a hormone-modulated neural robot controller were investigated in a simulation. Action-selection based on hormone-driven utilities of memory items was used to alternate between resource gathering and recharging tasks. -The implemented ultrastability mechanism was applied on two different time scales, to regulate fast-operating neurons and slowly-operating glands. The main limitation of the algorithm was that the adaptation was unstable when a task required an unexpectedly varied satisfaction time. -Since January 1, 2004, all Canadian organizations engaged in commercial activities have been required to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act(“PIPEDA”) and the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information incorporated by reference into PIPEDA.

This is due to the increasing availability of drones and their capabilities of travelling large distances and taking high resolution photographs and videos. From a criminological perspective, drones are an ideal method of smuggling, physically removing the operator from the act. It is for this reason that drones are also being utilised as deadly weapons in conflict areas. The need for forensic research to successfully analyse captured drones is rising. The challenges that drones present include the need to interpret flight data and tackling the multi-platform nature of drone systems. This paper reports the extraction and interpretation of important artefacts found in the recorded flight logs on both the internal memory of the UAV and the controlling application, as well as analysis of media, logs and other important files for identifying artefacts. In addition, some basic scripts will be utilised to demonstrate the potential for developing fully fledged forensics tools applicable to other platforms. Tests of anti-forensics measures will also be reported. -We’re growing and need another person to join the team here in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland).

The dimensionless unit hydrographs were expressed as ratios of q/qq as a function of t/tp. These dimensionless unit hydrographs were compared with similar unit hydrographs derived from floods on Taiwan and with the unit hydrographs derived from a mathematical model developed from the two parameter gamma function developed from the theory of the instantaneous unit hydrograph. It was found that the unit hydrographs derived from the Thai watersheds had much longer base length and much longer time to peak than similar unit hydrographs derived from floods on Taiwan. This increase in length of response time is attributed to a larger component of subsurface runoff believed to be present in the floods from tropical watersheds. -The purpose of this role is to provide individualized support to enable people to remain independent and continue to live within their own homes.

The city is both old and new: its history goes all the way back to the 9th century and it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006 for its uniquely well-preserved medieval Old Town. At the same time, the universities make it feel very young! It’s a great place to have grown up. -Where and what you’re studying: I am in the final stages of gaining my Bachelor’s degree in political science and British Studies, having studied in Regensburg and Hong Kong. -What is one project or activity you enjoyed at the Embassy? -Being an intern in the economics department at the embassy, the tariffs on steel and aluminium introduced by the United States during my time in DC had a great impact on my work: it was fascinating watching the political process at such proximity! I also really appreciated the department itself because it covers such a wide range of topics. For example, I was able to gain insights into farming and agricultural exports, the implications of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the US, but also the challenges of migration and developmental work by visiting various events around the city and aiding colleagues in their research. -What do you think is one of Germany’s main foreign policy challenges and what should Germany do about it? -I can only echo what my fellow interns have mentioned in this section: finding and preserving unity – both domestically and within the EU –, strengthening the transatlantic relationship and tackling the rise of populism around the world are issues that must be taken seriously. Likewise, making sure the art of diplomacy and skilled conversation is not lost in a world where a Tweet travels faster than actions. -What are some cultural impressions you gained of the United States? -I love how open and communicative people are in the US compared to Germany. Every conversation here starts with a “How are you?” – be it a random person on the street or your Uber driver. If you ask cashiers in Germany about their well-being I can guarantee all you will get are strange looks. -What has been your biggest surprise with regard to living in Washington? -I have never been to a place that is more political than DC! This city lives and breathes politics, be it all the government agencies and organizations that are based here, the think tanks and the events they host, or everyday life in general. When you meet somebody here, chances are they work on the Hill, for the World Bank or an NGO. As a student of political science, the atmosphere in this place is a dream! -What do you miss about Germany? -Apart from my family, friends and my dog I’d have to say living in a small country! It’s a weird thing to miss, I know. One of the joys of living in Europe is having so many different cultures, languages and traditions in such proximity. A four-hour drive is not considered a quick excursion as it is in the US! One thing I definitely don’t miss, however, is not being able to do your shopping on a Sunday or after 8 pm. That’s one convenience I have come to appreciate a lot and that will be sorely missed when it’s time for me to return home. -What has been your biggest lesson learnt during your internship? -Be prepared for lots and lots of small talk! DC is the capital of networking. I have lost count of the amount of business cards people have given me during the two short months I have been here. Having a few easy topics of conversation on-hand makes life a lot easier! -What has been your biggest challenge living here? -Dealing with all the single-use plastic. It is nearly impossible to avoid when doing the weekly shop and often it is utterly superfluous! It should not be possible to buy individually plastic-wrapped potatoes or pre-peeled eggs and oranges in plastic containers, yet these things are readily available at my local grocery store. I am glad, however, that DC has introduced a 5-cent plastic bag fee; it’s definitely a step in the right direction. -Where do you plan to go or what do you plan to do after your internship? -Sadly, even the most fun internships must end someday… I will be returning home to Regensburg and will be greeted by an exam and term papers before finally finishing by Bachelor’s thesis. After that, who knows where life will take me! -Delicate & Whimsical Accessories with a Touch of the Sea's Beauty. -Strings of Pearlescent Pastels Paired with Silver, Gold or Sparkles. -Style: Elegant, Graceful & "Pearl Kissed" -Today you can find trendy jewelry to suit any style, bold, colorful, sparkly, even nerdy. But pieces that are beautifully understated in their elegance can be more of a challenge to come across. Perhaps because it's easy to overdo, but timelessness takes balance and the right materials like those favored by Ellen vanHully-Bronson of Pearl Kissed Jewelry. Most of Ellen's collections are centered around one of Mother Nature's most delicate and classic "gems" - the fresh water pearl. Her necklaces, bracelets and earrings are all handmade and one-of-a-kind, much like each naturally derived pearl. Her designs are meant to convey an air of elegance and romance, from her simpler strings of silver and the occasional pearl bead or crystal to the more intricate signature necklace with woven "branches" that sit gracefully along your neckline. Ellen's pieces make wonderful gifts for moms, daughters, sisters, wives and more. A Pearl Kissed necklace can enhance any outfit, from the more casual to an evening dress. They are that charming and versatile. While Ellen has a handful of self-designed collections, she is happy to discuss custom requests for a piece that's as special as its future wearer. That makes her work very well suited for bridal parties to match the romance you want on your special day! I love how creativity runs in Ellen's family, with this business originally started as a mother - daughter duo. Her daughter then continued to follow her passions to metalwork, but still offers input on design and marketing to help drive success. Ellen is a delight much like her jewelry, a pearl among artists! -Meditation is one of the most powerful and meaningful practices we undertake in spiritual life. It is a means for self-development and transformation. -The Buddhist tradition offers rich and subtle teachings for the practice of meditation leading to full realization of spiritual and human potential. -Both strands of practice are part of a Buddhist path. A practitioner generally begins with establishing a foundation of calmness and concentration, making the mind pliable and the heart receptive to a further stage of investigation and reflection on the nature of existence. In the course of a consistent meditation practice, many realizations and changes in the psyche will occur naturally along the way. -We begin by cultivating deep attention and kindness towards ourselves, then in turn, towards a good friend, someone we do not know well, someone with whom we have difficulty, and finally, all beings equally, without preference. -No matter what one hopes to gain from starting a meditation practice, benefits will come. Each time we meditate is a new experience, a new opportunity for greater depth of awareness and positive growth. -Here are a few major points that make SQLC a sound long-term investment. -A rapidly growing market: SQLC serves one of America’s fastest growing housing segments: retirement communities for upscale residents. Many seniors have substantial investment portfolios and little overall debt; they can transform this wealth into a new living environment. This growth trend should increase markedly as the baby boomers mature over the next 10 years. -A proven business model: The Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model has been a proven success for more than 30 years. It has experienced substantial growth, irrespective of setbacks in certain niches of the senior-living sector. Due to the large scale of these projects, there are significant barriers to entry from market to market; consequently, the CCRC model has not generally been overbuilt, and existing projects tend to enjoy strong occupancy rates. -SQLC’s winning proposition for seniors: We offer an extraordinarily active retirement lifestyle, with unique Life Care services. Therefore, we can provide for our residents’ needs—from independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing—for the rest of their lives. -Our business structure—as a not-for-profit and as a lean, locally focused organization---give us powerful competitive advantages. The energy behind that strength comes from a select group of strategic partners who have helped build our track record of success. -It can be great belonging to a community organization - getting to know people with similar interests, doing things that make a difference, and celebrating your accomplishments. But sometimes it's hard to make those things happen; people can get stuck doing things the way they have always been done and become so focused on the "now" that there is no chance to get a vision for the future. That is where strategic planning comes in. -Strategic planning is a means of envisioning your organization's future and determining how to get there. It can stimulate ingenuity and new approaches, respond to opportunities and obstacles, and provide a framework for day-to-day decisions. -If this sounds like something that could benefit you or a community organization you are active in, register now. -Call our Victim Services help line at 509-684-6139 or 844-509-SAFE (844-509-7233), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to speak with a trained advocate if you are the victim of a crime. -If you or someone you know has been a victim of any crime, you are not alone!

In the real sector alone, we have made the commitment of about N2.7tn. Commitments have been made in sectors like agriculture, mining and roads, among others. -Earlier in his address, the President of SURCON, Joseph Agbenla, noted that with the 267 newly inducted members, the number of registered surveyors in the country had increased to 3,627. -He urged the inductees to uphold the ethics of the profession and stressed that anyone found wanting in the course of practice would have his or her certificate, which remains a property of SURCON, withdrawn. -“I am highly confident that you will always remember that the seal and the certificate you are all having today belong to the Surveyors Council of Nigeria and may be recalled by the council if your professional conduct contradicts the rules, regulations and ethics of the surveying profession,” Agbenla said. -The Surveyor-General of the Federation, Ebisintei Awudu, advised the inductees to keep enhancing their capacity and ensure that their practice add more value to the profession. -He said surveyors should strive to improve their skills in order to adequately understand how to use the tools provided by the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation. -Awudu stated, “By the constitution of Nigeria, the OSGOF is principally mandated to do cadastral, geological and several other types of surveys. So try and improve your capacity on these aspects. -Despite the poor performance of the real estate industry and the lull in the property market in recent times, stakeholders have expressed optimism of a full recovery this year. -The Statistician-General of the Federation and Chief Executive Officer, National Bureau of Statistics, Dr. Yemi Kale, said although the real estate industry, which contributed 6.79 per cent to real Gross Domestic Product, dropped to 4.12 per cent in the third quarter of 2017, with interest rates currently steady within the lower double-digits and monetary policy keeping a keen eye on inflation trends and minimising inflationary pressure, stakeholders in real estate sector should expect a recovery. -Kale and others spoke at the Real Estate Outlook 2018 Conference convened by AlphaCrux Limited with the theme, ‘The aftermath of recession: Where do we go from here’. -The statistician-general, who was represented at the event by his Technical Adviser, Lola Talabi-Oni, said the Nigerian economy, despite being susceptible to internal shocks such as insecurity, and external shocks from fluctuating global oil prices, among others, would, according to the World Bank forecast, experience modest growth in 2018. -He stated, “The strong momentum of the global economy is expected to continue into 2018 with a forecasted global GDP growth of 3.9 per cent by the IMF. Here in Africa, the Sub-Saharan region is not left out of the global economic recovery as the IMF forecasts a growth of 3.3 per cent and 3.9 per cent within the region for 2018 and 2019, respectively. -Kale said the dip in real estate’s contribution to the GDP, from 6.79 per cent to 4.12 per cent in the third quarter of 2017, came as a surprise but noted that the industry performed better during that same quarter than it did in the same period the year before. -“The continued disinflation within the economy should therefore be good news to stakeholders within the real estate sector,” he added. -The Chief Executive Officer, Northcourt Real Estate, Tayo Odunsi, said real estate, as part of the larger economy, could not be said to be in growth, but was rather still recovering from the economic woes of the previous quarters. -Odunsi stated that industry players needed to conceptualise innovative concepts necessary to deepen it and fast-track growth. -He noted that the key considerations that could shape the property market this year were the declining vacancy rate across cities and the office market shifting towards co-working space due to its flexibility as well as investors preferring smaller retail malls. -“With millennials accounting for 70 per cent of Nigeria’s population, developers are forced to come up with innovative developments like students’ housing and other affordable schemes as young people now have preference for smaller apartments rather than investors building sprawling apartments with no occupants,” he said. -The Managing Director, Uraga Real Estate Limited, Dr Gbadamosi Yakubu, stated that government across levels should start thinking of collaborating with the industry players to bring about the desired change. -“Government’s plan towards affordability is key and it must start from land allocation to ease access to land,” he said. -A chartered surveyor and valuer and President, Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce, Akin Olawore, stated that there was a need for a change of attitude towards homeownership in the country in terms of funding. -“As Nigerians’ attitude continues to change towards house ownership, we have to seek innovative and ingenious ways of funding rather than rely on government’s spending, especially now that young people dominate the population,” he said. -The Director of Operations, Andela, Anthonio Pinhiero, who spoke on the role of technology in solving housing challenges in the country, stated that stakeholders could deploy technology to drive decision-making process in the property market. -“Since technology has come to stay, it will continue to disrupt the market from the demand end to the supply end, making it a lot easier for consumers to participate within the property market space,” he added. -The Managing Director, Alphacrux, Mr. Tobi Adama, noted that the impact of the last recession as well as a successful first edition of the conference had made it necessary to bring stakeholders together to discuss trends and issues in the industry. -“The recession had an impact we were not quite ready for but we got out of it as swiftly as we got in; and now, the way we deal with the aftermath is the crucial thing on our hands,” he said. -Kamp Kiwanis is a summer camp that aims to be an easily accessible source of summer fun for children with disabilities and special needs.

Also included are fully trained lifeguards/medical personall in the event of a situation emerging. Staff:Child ratios range from 1:8 to 1:1. -Youth Kamp: a coed camp for children ranged 8 ~ 14, with a Counselor training program for those aged 15 - 17. -Why is it Important to See a Dentist in Weatherford While You’re Pregnant? -Congratulations! You’re having a baby! This time in your life can be exciting and overwhelming all at once. It’s important to take good care of yourself during your pregnancy and regularly visit all of your healthcare practitioners. Believe it or not, it’s especially important to visit your dentist in Weatherford throughout your pregnancy. Here are the reasons why. -Because of the many hormone changes that take place throughout pregnancy, you are more susceptible to periodontal disease, or gum disease during this time. This may not seem like too big a deal, however periodontal disease can lead to tooth, tissue, and bone loss if it’s not properly managed. A condition known as pregnancy gingivitis can occur, and this is actually the first stage of gum disease. -If you notice that your gums are red and swollen, or bleed when you brush your dentist may recommend extra cleaning appointments during your pregnancy to help you control the gingivitis. Excellent home care, with daily brushing and flossing is also crucial during this time. If you suffer from morning sickness and vomiting, your dentist can recommend a mouth rinse to help protect your teeth from harmful stomach acids. -As you know, your nutrition is very important to you and your baby during pregnancy, did you know however, that your nutrition could affect your baby’s developing teeth? It’s true! Your baby’s teeth will begin to develop around the third to sixth month of your pregnancy and you need lots of vitamin A, C, and D as well as protein and calcium to help your child’s teeth develop properly. You will need to begin oral care for your child as well as soon as their first teeth erupt. -Let your dentist know that you’re pregnant and exactly what trimester you’re in. your dentist may want to wait on taking x-rays or performing dental treatment until you’re further along in your pregnancy. -If you experience dental pain or an emergency contact your dentist right away. There are a lot of things that can be done for dental pain during your pregnancy even if you don’t have treatment done immediately. Remember, the earlier you contact us if you’re experiencing dental pain, the faster we can diagnose your situation and get you feeling comfortable again. -Dr. Deborah Romack and Dr. Garrett Mulkey are your premiere family dentists in Aledo, TX.

Thank you VERY much! -Comments later, I've got a few ideas but I feel too tired to make halfway good comments. -Finding a high quality photographer for your family portrait, wedding or other special events can be daunting, to say the least. A professional photographer with local insider Lynn Haven knowledge can give you more than just an experienced person on the end of the camera, but someone who knows the best local places to shoot and can give your photos a more authentic local feel. -Our portfolio of work is available upon request? So, depending on what kind of photographs you need, we can offer a great studio in Lynn Haven or we can photograph outdoors in or around the city if you prefer…or both, if you prefer.

So please reach out to us and we’d be more than happy to provide you with as much information as you need, as well as offering testimonials, so you can decide if we’re the professional photographer service that you would like to carry out your photography work here in Lynn Haven. We look forward to speaking to you soon! -With our significantly growing technical world we live in it’s becoming more regular that we come across people who are debating whether they need to employ a professional photographer. Why not simply take them yourself? Or better yet, have a good friend or family member with a good camera take the photos? Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the fact many people have access to technology that can help them photograph their day to day lives; but, when it comes to important events, milestones, business headshots, personal shoots, and your wedding, it is important that you employ a professional! There is a lot more that goes into expert photography than having great equipment … So today, I am sharing with you the TOP SIX REASONS why you ought to think about employing an expert photographer. -1) Consistent Results – In my opinion, I think 2 key components of an expert golfer are consistency and versatility. For example, an excellent golfer that plays the regional course twice a week every week, might have the ability to par the course regularly, but that golfer might not be that consistent when having to adapt to an entirely new course and especially a difficult course. but an expert golfer can not only shoot par and way much better in many cases regularly, but they can also adapt to a brand-new course. This is similar to the way an expert photographer works. An expert photographer can be consistent in various scenarios by adapting to the surrounds based upon knowledge. This consistency, adaptability and knowledge are all things that produce quality results from the professional photographer. -2) Equipment – Some pros might not agree with me on this, but ask them exactly what they shoot with. You will likely discover that it’s not the most recent low-end consumer DSLR. It’s true that equipment alone does not magically make someone professional photographer. So just to clarify, if someone goes to the camera shop in the morning and spends thousands of dollars, that doesn’t mean she or he is instantly professional. Nevertheless, for those genuinely doing photography as a career, there is typically a significant investment that comes with that career choice. One camera bag might have countless dollars worth of financial investment inside it. You wouldn’t use a professional in other fields that don’t have the right equipment to do the job, so don’t use a photographer who bought a camera, a kit lens and a flash on Saturday and magically Monday morning they are a pro. In the BIG brand name photography world, it’s most likely these photographers will not be going after that business. but small business owner beware, make certain the photographer is equipped to carry out the task and provide exceptional quality. -3) It’s Your Brand – Your brand is very important and professional photography is a simple way to make your brand name stand out. It’s true that in the digital age that you or your friend armed with a good camera can get some shots that may be just sufficient for the Internet and look excellent. Nevertheless, with a little financial investment for a true professional photographer, your brand name might go from average to great. Perception is everything. Invest in professional photographer and not someone who just takes good pictures that may just be good enough. -4) You Get What You Pay For – OK, you don’t always get exactly what you pay for and in some cases high price is not as good as cheap. Nevertheless, when you are working with a real skilled professional photographer and are really comparing apples to apples, it’s likely that the cheapest photographer out there will not deliver equivalent outcomes. Although the inexpensive photographer could be a philanthropist and be fantastic, it’s likely that too cheap will just yield good outcomes and not excellent ones. A buddy of mine sent me some examples of a professional photographer’s work just recently together with what the photographer desired for the images, I was surprised at the results and the price. Why did my buddy not go with me? He knows that I am not the cheapest option for his requirements and just uses me for his bigger budget jobs. FYI, I am not crazy high price. There are services that professional photographer will offer that are an excellent fit for small businesses. -5) Professional Editing – In the consumer market, it’s not unusual for a brand-new photographer to shoot a session and burn a huge number of images to a disc and they are done. A real professional cares more about their work and credibility than to just turn over a disc of the images. Real professional photographers edit their work even if it’s just a fast run through of Adobe Lightroom. However, some images need large amounts of attention which could take a number of minutes to an hour plus just to appropriately modify one image. Ask if the photographer you are considering edits their work. This is one easy way for the photographer to save you some money and them time but likely provide good results vs. great. -6) Because He or She Is Professional – A true professional photographer will act in professional manner in the way they do business. There is something to be said in any business about professionalism. A plumber may not be looked at like an attorney, but the plumber should still treat you with respect, as well as respecting your residence by not walking on your carpet in muddy shoes and provide services in a manner that leaves you feeling 100% satisfied! A professional photographer, especially in the world of business, ought to not only provide great photography services but make you feel happy by his/her mindset. -Our lives on this earth are short-lived, but photographs are timeless! Leave a piece of you with those you love in still images. Give them something to remember you by, to keep, to value. I hope that after reading this you will think about hiring a professional photographer for all your photography needs. carry out some research! Find a photographer who’s style you like, and take some time to connect with them. Finding and selecting the correct photographer will leave you with incredible memories and beautiful photographs to enjoy for a life time. -Lynn Haven is a city in Bay County, Florida, United States, north of Panama City.

My past experience in following FFH's investments has made me gun shy of doing that. These guys are in a different game and this could be a sound idea. -1) Lundin is a much larger company (by market cap) than Yamana. They have more financial resources to fund the $250 million expansion projects at Chapada (throughout increase and Sucupira pit pushback). -2) Lundin is a copper-focused company. Chapada is primarily a copper mine with significant gold credits. Lundin spends a lot of money aggressively exploring for copper at its properties. The Yamana copper reserves and resource growth will likely ramp up under Lundin's exploration team. -This is more or less the entire argument, if you ask me. Just can take a LOOOOONG time to play out given how long cycles last and how long it takes to get a mine from idea to production. -BHP makes a strategic investment in Midland, way above current market price. C$5.9 million raised at 1.70 a share. -BHP gets right of first offer on Mythril. If the drilling hits BHP wants the project because it is potentially a very large copper deposit (based upon the IP surveys). -Lundin conference call emphasizes that they have no capital constraints compared to Yamana. They plan to bring copper production forward in an aggressive manner. I expect the gold-only Suruca deposit to be shelved, while Chapada expansion timeline will be accelerated. Yamana had been slowplaying the major expansion spending to try to keep a cash flow positive profile for a few years. -I can imagine the conservatives putting political pressure on the utilities to delay the coal power plant conversions a few years to save thousands of coal mine or coal power plant related jobs. Phaseout is inevitable but the exact timing is still up in the air, especially for the Genesee plants. -Wolfden Resources cutting timber for forest management has been kicking out revenue to Altius. Altius gets 20% of the sales receipts from timber sales. Altius received C$92,232 in timber revenue in 2018, and has received C$66,299 so far in 2019. See Wolfden’s most recent MD&A. I believe these sales receipts become part of Altius’s project generation revenue. -These regular sales are separate from what will eventually be a total sale of the Mt. Pickett timber rights (for at least US$5 million). -Because the total sale of timber rights didn’t happen by November 2018 Altius can now, at any time, demand the return of what it paid for the Mt. Pickett royalty, C$7.663 million, in cash or shares of Wolfden. -Wolfden was a speculative royalty deal but Altius built some excellent protections into the deal. -Strong Q1 performance and raised guidance. Potash is performing very well. -Altius should be in striking range for C$90 million total revenue in 2019 (royalty and project generation revenue). This preliminary Q1 royalty number doesn’t include ~C$300K from Voisey’s Bay and PG revenue (timber sales etc). LIF must keep paying out and Chapada should have a big second half of the year with the improved recovery circuits installed this quarter. Maybe a couple hundred thousand extra revenue from Excelsior in Q4. -90 million would be quite a reach. I will stick with 80 million for the year. Lundin buying Chapada, UCP win, highest quarter royalty revenue record, raised guidance and Altius barely moves. I think CapitalCities comment about the market not caring sums it up nicely. -Between Pride of the Clouds and Thunderclap Wyvern, I'd try and go all-in on the flying theme! Favorable Winds , Warden of Evos Isle and Esper Stormblade would all be useful additions to that end. -The decklist looks cool, some suggestions. If you are going to run Delver of Secrets Flip you are gonna need a lot more spells and scrying so that it can be flipped more consistantly (Also run 4 of Delver, and 4 Pteramander. Cut out Mistcloaked Herald). That also works well with Pteramander so you can adapt it a bit easier. The one thing that you REALLY should run is Remand , it is a great tempo play, and you also draw another card. Spell Pierce is great. Serum Visions for the scrying. A great budget option for blue is Nimble Obstructionist , since it is a flying threat with flash AND can counter any activated or triggerd ability you do not control. Depending on your budget you really cannot go wrong with Snapcaster Mage , since you can reuse any spell. Vendilion Clique is great for tempo, another threat in the air and lets you take an important card from your opponents hand it is great against combo decks. I would take out Favorable Winds since it is a bit slow and Pteramander , Tempest Djinn and Delver of Secrets Flip are great finishers, seems a bit redundant. Not so sure about the Unstable Mutation but i do se the appeal of it. These are just some suggestions and it kinda depends on what direction you want to take it in, your budget and if you want it to be competative. Hope this helps in any way. --2 summary judgment +2 Favorable Winds +1 though for running W/U without a Tbag in it. -Good start. To pump your fliers use Favorable Winds . I would replace Curiosity for Curious Obsession if your budget permits. And maybe Jace's Phantasm as a cheap solution for graveyard decks. Good luck! -This report is aimed to present the achievements obtained with the development of a prototype of Architectural DIGITAL PORTFOLIO, this work represents an original integral proposal with a strategy of production of the information.

After reading the document, the old veteran looked the hated Yankee in the eye, and said with bitterness, "Well, we guv you *H--l* at Chickamaugy!" -"Just sign the paper," exclaimed the Union man. "And no more of your sauce!" -"I *said*, 'We guv you *H--l* at Chickamaugy!'" -"Come, come!" expostulated the officer, whose patience with the old fellow was now wearing thin. "Come sign immediately or I'll have you arrested and imprisoned as the traitor that you have been and are !" -The old man shifted his tobacco, and realizing his dire circumstances, quickly affixed his signature to the official document sanctioning his freedom. -"There, my good man," said his interlocutor. "Now you are once again a citizen of this Great Republic, as good as any man you see here." -"The clever old man replied, 'You mean I'm a Yankee now?'" -"Yes, of course!" came the reply. -"Yes, yes, I have siad it is so." -"Wall, in that case I just have one thing left to say." -"And that thing is --- ? -"They guv us *H--l* at Chickamaugy!" -U14s Win Two Gold & Men’s Overall at CanAms! -Submitted by U14 CanAm Head Coach Jacques Reid….”We all love to win but this 2019 CanAm event was about more than winning.

Working after retirement from need and/or desire has made retiree employment a game changer, benefiting employers with talented and mature help as well as retirees with more exciting jobs. Retirees are sought after by an increasing number of companies, and many retirees are finding life-affirming work to help them live life as they want to live it in retirement. -When companies need someone skilled but without a strict schedule requirement for short-term projects, retirees save the day. Oftentimes, they already know the job well enough to require little to no training, and their flexible schedule makes a big difference. Companies sometimes retain the contact information of their employees when they retire so they can invite them to return as needed for reliable work. If there’s not enough of past employees to fit their need, they’ll also seek out new retirees skilled in the industry for the same purpose. -Many companies are also embracing seniors and retirees for more regular part-time work because they’ve seen that there is a wealth of untapped talent here. -Some companies, such as PKF O’Connor Davies, are deliberately campaigning for new senior and retiree talent. -Retirement is an ideal time to pursue a job that suits your interests: hostess at a restaurant, for instance; work with kids in a daycare; or get a job as a receptionist. -CoolWorks: check it out for yourself!

My consultation which was around a week ago, was so informative. Dr Gharib made me feel so comfortable about the whole procedure which is why I went ahead with his recommendation of skin peeling and mesotherapy. At the consultation he asked me what my concerns were regarding my skin to which I explained how due to having to wear make up so often because of my career, my skin sometimes breaks out with mild acne. I also told him how I’m unhappy with the hollowness and darkness around my eye area. Even after having just one consultation, it was so invaluable. Dr Gharib made me understand what’s going on with my skin and why. It all makes so much sense now, meaning I can do as much as I can within my control to help my skin improve. I don’t want to bombard you with too much text so please follow my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/ninaubhi where I will be uploading the final journey of my experience of Skin Peeling and Mesotheraphy once I’ve completed all four sessions. I’ll also be posting on my blog after each session so I can really give you my full experience. -SESSION ONE I’ve been sick for the last few days and thankfully I felt well enough to go out yesterday afternoon. So luckily I made it for my first session of skin peeling and mesotherapy at the Kaya Skin Clinic. Firstly, the staff at Kaya Skin Clinic are so professional and they made the whole process so much easier and secondly they have a branch in Marina which is so close to me! Skin Peel: So I arrived with zero make up on and settled down in the treatment room. The nurse started by firstly explaining the process and then cleansing my face to remove any residue. Then comes the high frequency Accura machine that is glided across my skin manually by the nurse, continuously for around 10 minutes; this calms any inflammation and reduces the size of spots. She then started the skin detox by extracting any open comedones. Once the skin is cleansed, Dr Gharib applies the skin peel treatment over my face and it’s left on for a few minutes. There’s a slight tingling sensation but nothing too uncomfortable. The skin peel treatment is removed by spraying cold water onto the face and pressing it off with a thick towel/gauze followed by some ice over the skin to cool it down. After this my skin felt totally normal and after an hour or so a little tight. I’ve been told my skin may feel dry and tight which it has but it’s not peeling like you assume it would be by the sound of the name. Mesotherapy: The nurse applied numbing cream to my under eyes and eyelids. After leaving it on for 20 minutes Dr Gharib then removed the cream and started injecting vitamins into the skin around the eyes. It didn’t hurt at all, thankfully due to the numbing cream. -If you’re looking for a relaxing and soothing facial type experience then this isn’t it. But it’s also not uncomfortable. It’s a treatment to help clear up your skin and I love the fact I already feel it working. It’s only been a day and I’m looking forward to my next session. Each session of the skin peel needs to be 15 days apart and the mesotherapy needs to be every week. -To book a consultation with Dr Gharib contact Kaya Skin Clinic on +971 4 4508438. -Mesotherapy is getting great results, it hurts a little in you don’t use a proper anesthetic but no one can argue with the results. -Career and Testing Services at the University of Mary looks forward to forming a partnership with you.

Today, on this crisp winter morning, we will be looking over the Netgear ReadyNAS 104. The RN104 is a four bay NAS appliance that caters to the needs of consumers that want personal cloud storage. It offers standard features like a home media and file server, coupled together with low entry cost. -The RN104 is built upon the Marvell ARMADA 370 platform, clocked at 1.2 GHz, with 512MB of memory to accompany it. Across the front of the unit, we have four 3.5" drive trays that support tool-less installation. Total storage capacity is listed at 16TB, with dual gigabit LAN ports at the rear of the unit. -For quick management of the NAS, we have a two line LCD screen on the front of the unit, with dual USB 3.0 ports, and eSATA for additional storage options. Power consumption is listed at 45 watts for operation, and 1.4 watts with WOL enabled. -Pricing of the four bay Netgear ReadyNAS 104 is listed at $319.99, without drives. The unit carries a three-year warranty from Netgear. -You know that conducting background checks is essential to ensuring a safe, secure workplace. In doing so, however, it is also crucial that you abide by the regulations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which is easier said than done. Understanding FCRA compliance can be confusing and overwhelming; however, failing to comply to FCRA regulations can result in costly legal issues for employers. -In a on-demand webinar, employment law experts Pam Devata, partner at Chicago-based Seyfarth Shaw LLP, and Courtney Stieber, senior associate at Seyfarth Shaw, will address frequently asked questions regarding the FCRA and share best practice responses for ensuring your company stays FCRA compliant. -A number of books and articles investigated the relationship between corporate and advertising interests and news coverage. In the May/June 2000 issue of Columbia Journalism Review, Lowell Bergman wrote an article entitled, "Network television news: With fear and favor." Bergman sums up his findings by saying, "Executives of the network news divisions say that they will report any story of public interest and import without fear or favor, without considering its potential commercial consequences. They say that, but they do not believe it" (p. 50). -Karl Idsvoog's journal article, "TV sitting on stories to improve ratings," claims that "the decision on when (or if) to run a piece is no longer determined just by asking is the report concise, clear, and well produced; is it fair, thorough and accurate? There are now more critical questions. What's the lead-in? Where do we place the promotion? Will it deliver better numbers on Monday or Wednesday?" (Idsvoog, p. 38). However, he adds that "in the long run, adhering to a higher standard of ethics delivers a higher standard of performance" (p. 39). -Carol Guensburg examines the ethical dilemmas of news reporting that involve the media agency's owner in the December 1998 issue of American Journalism Review (p. 10). In "When the story is about the owner," she determines that it is up to the individual journalists and news operations to continue reporting important stories, regardless of the impact they may have on corporate or advertising interests (Guensburg, p. 11). -American Journalism Review's October 1998 article by Jane Kirtley, "Second-guessing news judgment," looks at the issue of FCC regulations of news coverage (p. 86). She notes that having the governmental agency get involved in news coverage would likely lead to the consequence that "broadcasters will be discouraged from covering controversial issues at all" (Kirtley, p. 86). -Make the most out of every season with the incomparable 2019 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB!

Mariah Carey was topping the charts. George W. Bush was starting his second term as U.S. president. Hamid Karzai was the new leader of the “liberated” Afghanistan. -And the Blazer? Well, the SUV built on the frame of a S-10 pickup was ready to retire. -Now, after a 14-year break, Chevrolet has brought back a mid-sized crossover SUV under the name Blazer. But, other than the name, you’d be hard pressed to connect the new SUV with the rough-and-ready truck from yesteryear. -Blazer is five-passenger, two-row crossover that fits between the compact Equinox and three-row Traverse. -It is attractive – much better looking – than the original, and displays far superior road manners. Its smooth and quiet ride is a credit to unibody construction, instead of the old body-on-frame. It’s also more fuel-efficient, thanks to stop/start technology, cylinder deactivation in the V6 and a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic that always seems to know the right gear. -Its frisky RS trim level is the hot rod of the family. It has the boldest look, with a blacked-out front end and black up-sized 21-inch wheels (from standard 18-inch). It looks especially good on a bright red body colour. Its engine growl is just loud enough to let you know the optional 3.6-litre V6 means business, cranking out a respectable 305 hp and 269 lb.-ft. of torque. -The Premier trim level is more dignified, with generous chrome treatment on the outside and quality accented leather interior treatment. Automatic heated steering wheel and heated/ventilated front seats tie in with the automatic climate control system. The windows can be opened remotely to let cabin heat out as you approach the car. -All models have HID headlamps mounted low and LED daytime running lights. -Cargo space is an impressive 1,818 litres with the rear seated folded. A rail-based system allows the space to be configured and blocked off as needed to secure items, and the rails store neatly in front of the spare tire when not needed. -There are some nifty touches to this vehicle – like a hands-free power liftgate with a light that shines a Chevy emblem on the ground to show you where to swing your foot. Inside, the rear seat slides forward to allow more cargo space and tilts back to allow extra headroom – unnecessary, since a six-footer can easily fit with the seat upright. -Chevrolet’s updated Infotainment 3 system comes with 8.0-inch touchscreen, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. There are up to six USB ports – even the new USB type-C standard – wireless phone charging, and a subscription-based 4G LTE WiFi hot spot. Active noise cancelling is standard on all trim levels. The rearview camera “hitch view” makes hooking up to a trailer a one-person job. -Chevy started with the platform found on the XT5 and Acadia models, but it moved the wheels 44 millimetres further out to gain a squatter, planted feel, said Larry Mihalko, Chevy’s vehicle performance manager. -The sporty RS also has high rate suspension springs, heavy stabilizer bars, sport-turned dampers and oversized shock absorbers. Although a relatively tall vehicle, the clever engineers have made this SUV feel very sportscar-like. -Its frisky RS trim level is the hot rod of the family. It has the boldest look, with a blacked-out front end and black up-sized 21-inch wheels (from standard 18-inch). -The active yaw control system inputs traction data 100 times per second and adjusts power to each wheel. In hard cornering, it sends up to 80 per cent of the power to the outside rear wheel to push the SUV in the right direction. -Drivers can also switch to front-wheel drive to cut fuel consumption under highway conditions. Fuel economy ranges around 9 litres/100 km in combined city/highway driving. The stock 2.5-litre turbo-charged four-cylinder offers a marginal gain in fuel economy over the six, and delivers 193 hp and 188 lb.-ft. of torque. -A trip to the hills east of San Diego, Calif., confirms that this is an able highway cruiser, but no off-road bruiser. It comes equipped with street tires and a low front end that would whither at the first sight of a rock. -Even so, there’s much to like in this revived Blazer. The entry-level basic model starts at just over C$30,000 in Canada, is well-equipped and offers good value. The highest trim levels, however, are more than C$50,000 – definitely pushing the limits of the category, which includes Mazda CX5, Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, and Toyota Highlander. -You don’t have to go high-end to get a fun ride with the Blazer. Whatever configuration you choose, it feels like a sturdy and stable vehicle designed for city and highway driving. -The Blazer is available for order across North America now. -Writer and human rights advocate. -Jonathan Meddings is a writer and human rights advocate. -Jacqui Lambie Gets Everyday Aussies. The Turnbull Government Does Not. -Lambie's words were the opposite of what we have come to expect from politicians. They were honest, heartfelt, compassionate, and mostly true. -He is political incorrectness gone mad. -Taras Filatov graduated from Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics (KNURE), Ukraine and passed his Master of Philosophy at the Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT). Taras continued his research at WIT and has now successfully passed his PhD viva with the thesis ‘Adaptive Evolutionary Navigation in Knowledge Representation Systems’. His external examiner was Dr Gary Wills from the University of Southampton and the internal was Dr Andrés Peratta. -The main objective of this work was to develop architecture and carry out the implementation of a fully automated knowledge representation system, capable of rendering textual documents from various unstructured sources, online or offline, into a single web knowledge base where navigation was automatically provided by the system. This navigation was carried out using the principles of natural browsing. -The system architecture was developed in two main parts: data preparation and interactive knowledge representation. Novel approaches were introduced in both the data compression and representation parts to overcome difficulties that had prevented the construction of comprehensive full cycle systems in the past. -The data preparation employed modern information retrieval techniques, such as search engine elements, and represented the documents corpus as vector space. However, a distinguishing part was the application of the dimensionality reduction technique to reduce the vector space while keeping the relevance calculation features by reducing the dimensionality on initial vector space to intrinsic dimensionality value. -The interactive knowledge representation implemented the innovative concept of a ‘live’ navigational panel powered with evolutionary algorithms. This was achieved through the system of rules divided into two algorithms serving both dormant and active cycles of user-system interaction. -As a result of his research, both examiners recommended the award of Doctor of Philosophy. -You've noticed something that's at once obvious and subtle about astrology: opposite signs have a lot in common, and astrologers will work with these similarities. And it's very common that people with a strong sign placement will draw a lot of the opposite sign into their lives. -However, you were also reading Pisces birthday reports during a time when the ruler of Virgo was retrograde in its opposite sign, Pisces. So that was providing plenty of room for overlapping themes, since in many respects Pisces and Virgo have been fully merged for a few months. However, these two signs can seem strikingly similar, even to the oddest details, until you get far enough below the surface to see that Pisces really is Pisces and Virgo really is Virgo. -The 1 Series offers all that BMW stands for in a compact package.

Maybe this is what Romney means when he says he’s going to do the “opposite” of President Barack Obama on Israel? -Former Representative Vin Weber (R-MN) is currently a partner of the lobbying firm Clark and Weinstock which has lobbied on behalf of Alcoa, Hyundai Motor Company, Ernst Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, BNP Paribas, Zurich Financial Services, Ericsson, Nokia, and Panasonic. According to United Against Iran, “a not-for-profit, non-partisan, advocacy group that seeks to prevent Iran from fulfilling its ambition to obtain nuclear weapons,” each of these companies had or has business with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Furthermore, according to OpenSecrets.org, a website dedicated to enlightening the public about how much money is spent on lobbying expenditures, Weber has lobbied on behalf of one or more of the above listed companies as recently as 2012. -This raises serious questions about Romney’s judgment when it comes to selecting his most trusted advisers. How committed can Romney be to stopping Iran in its pursuit of nuclear weapons if one of his top foreign policy advisers actually lobbied for companies that did business with Iran? What was Weber lobbying for? -Stopping Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is one of the most pressing national security challenges facing us today and President Obama’s resolve is clear. As Obama continues to strengthen sanctions and keep all options on the table to stop Iran, Romney has a top “special adviser” who actually lobbied for companies that did business with Iran. -That is quite the opposite. -Worse, this is endemic of a party-wide challenge that the GOP seems to be having with regard to doing the right thing on Iran—whether to side with big business or strengthening Iran sanctions, as evidenced by the fifth party-line House GOP vote to side with former over the latter. -A new EU Drivers Hours and Tachograph Law has just gone into effect, and it will impact owners of panel vans, 4x4 pickups and sports utility vehicles that use their vehicles for towing for business. The new law indicates that vehicles with a Gross Mass over 3,500kg must be fitted with a tachograph that will record the driver and vehicle’s activities. Gross Mass is calculated as the weight of the vehicle as well as the trailer towed behind it. In order to be in compliance, drivers not only need to have the tachograph, but also obey hours regulations. Unfortunately, not all of the smaller vehicles that now fall under the requirement are able to be fitted with the devices. Both van manufacturers and tachometer manufacturers need to find solutions. -This law was not an issue previously, as until recently vehicles Gross Mass was lower than 3,490kg. But as vehicles have improved in their capabilities and are now able to tow caravans, the change was deemed to be necessary. -Private vehicles being used to tow caravans are not impacted by the law, but if you are a business carrying extra equipment or supplies via caravan behind your van, the requirements apply. The fleet industry, which often uses vans to tow caravans, should note that if a tow bar is being attached to a vehicle then the tachometer needs to be installed as well. -Car manufacturers that have not previously needed to be able to equip these devices onto their vehicles are working to find a fix in order to prevent drivers from being open to prosecution. -I recently went on a trip with my youngest daughter to Atlanta, Georgia. I had not been to Georgia before. I used to live in Alabama and Florida (at different times), so I figured it would be mostly the same. What I didn't know was that Atlanta is Gotham City. You may not have known this, and I'm sorry if I'm ruining some fantasy-other-wordliness aspect of Gotham City, but....it's in Georgia. -Our adventure began when we got the rental car and headed out in the safe hands of GPS (aka evil maniacal devil guide) to our hotel. I don't know when I decided Siri was a reliable source again. She has burned me way too many times in the past for me to have any sane reason to trust her, but here I was, across the country in the middle of a rainy night, trusting my life to the voice in my phone with a desire to kill me. -How do I know she wants to kill me? Let's recap. I have gotten lost more times than not when using her. Usually it is because she decides to tell me to take U turns in the middle of freeways or busy roads. Other times it is because she leads me to my destination which actually turns out to be a lonely spot in the middle of nowhere, perfect for murder. This time, it was to the back side of a prison. Yes, just pull into the guarded driveway...don't mind the guns..."your destination is on the right"....sure it is. I didn't fall for it. -I had a feeling that no matter what Siri said, I should probably head towards the taller, better lighted buildings in the distance. By some miracle, we ended up at our hotel. I prefer to believe it was devine guidance. On the way, we discovered we were in Gotham. It wasn't hard to tell, all we had to do was look up. The buildings were somewhat shrouded in fog. Did I mention it was raining? Constantly? The entire weekend? The fog swirled around the tops of the buildings. One building in particular had lights shining off the top, cutting through the fog, just waiting for the Bat signal to be blasted into the sky. It was Gotham. I'm sure of it. If that wasn't enough proof, the sirens that screamed all night were the clincher. I didn't actually SEE Batman, but I'm pretty sure I saw something dark and caped streak past my 9th floor hotel window in the middle of the night. -The rest of our trip went fairly well. We went to a Art walk/block party, very much NOT like the art walks here in Arizona. I expected to see cool art that made my mind scream, "How did they think of that!?" like what happens at the art walks here. Instead, what my mind was screaming was more of a, "WHY did they think of that? What is wrong with them!?" My daughter assured me it was all about the experience, not the product. That had to be the only resoning behind the live music in the "Mammal Bar" which turned out to be a very warm, over crowded room (bar), with a group of adult size toddlers playing on xylophones, recorders, and bongos....with no apparent melody in common. My brain hurt and I wanted to curl up with something familiar, like a cactus. It was painful. -All in all, I totally enjoyed my trip with my daughter. She is an awesome person. I'd want to be her friend if we weren't related. She's totally cool. She is also blessed/cursed with the same talent as I have. We both see celebrity faces in random people. On this trip we saw young DiCaprio, Ice T's uncle, A white Bruno Mars, and the perfect blend of Bradley Cooper and Will Arnett. I admit to following the latter around with my eyes for quite a while and even snapping a picture. Is that weird? It's not like I'm going to stalk him or google his picture online and find out his name and whether or not that girl with him was his girlfriend or send him bunnies or anything, it was purely for research. -Have never asked Siri anything but have of course used a GPS well Tim has I have never even tried to punch in an address in one. They are great except when they get you lost or send you down a one way street the wrong way and that has happened a few time to me and Tim. -At our law firm, we strive to handle the wide-ranging legal needs of our clients in their corporate activities in a manner that is flexible and thorough. Our practice has been not just to put forward a simple legal theory, but to sufficiently analyze the situation our client companies are in and provide forward-looking corporate legal services capable of guiding a course of action for the company in question. -At our law firm, we are well versed in civil substantive law and the Code of Civil Procedure and endeavor to settle disputes swiftly and appropriately. With lawsuits we develop sophisticated legal arguments based on "The Requisite Facts Theory” of the Legal Training and Research Institute of Japan and prepare carefully for witness examinations. We are proud of our track record with numerous cases over many years in the area of civil provisional remedies and civil execution, and we have also at times proactively made submissions with respect to court practices. Our advantage of developing appropriate outlooks on the outcome of legal procedures is useful in pre-trial negotiations and ADR (with alternative dispute resolution organizations). -We also provide legal services regarding the various types of regulations pertaining to the Personal Information Protection Act and the Act Regarding Use, etc. of Numbers for Identification of Specific Individual in Administrative Procedure (so-called the My Number Act). In particular, the characteristic feature of our law firm is that we are able to provide legal services paying careful attention to the guidelines for the financial sector and the credit sector by levering the knowledge we have accumulated in relation to financial institutions and various financial service providers. We not only provide simple regulatory compliance, but also have a track record in conducting various different types of examinations regarding the utilization of data and new services, such as government systems used for authentication of individuals. -At our law firm, we not only correspond to the constantly changing labor-related laws and regulations and trends in labor administration, we also assist with the various human resources and labor issues that arise within companies. -The revisions to ISO9001 in 2000 meant that international quality control standards, such as PDCA cycles and spiral methodologies, have come to apply not just to the manufacturing industry, but also to services and organizations. At our law firm, we are conscious that this has been the fundamental trigger for the requirement to develop, maintain, and enhance internal controls and risk management systems to also be incorporated into various regulatory laws, such as the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Our firm maintains this fundamental awareness whilst also on the other hand providing legal services and practice in risk management in keeping with the detailed regulatory codes. -In the area of corporate rehabilitation and bankruptcy law, expertise is now also required not only in conventional applicant's representative and receiver related legal work, but also in M&A related legal work and the associated financial legal work. At our law firm, we provide consultation services not only for debtors, but also for creditors (holders of the right of separate satisfaction) and sponsors. We have proactively expanded our work in this area of practice and have also handled many instances of representative work for the creditor's side in the event of bankruptcy of a relevant party in an asset liquidation or securitization transaction. -At our law firm, we provide a range of services such as lobbying central ministries and agencies, local governments and other public bodies with lawmaking recommendations regarding the areas under their jurisdiction as well as providing support with the drafting of legislation. In addition to traditional legal services such as consultation work regarding legal issues unique to public organizations and statutory interpretation, and drafting various regulations and contracts, our firm recently has been increasingly providing advice on Private-Public Partnerships (PPPs) that employ a variety of mechanisms and schemes, such as projects utilizing public real estate, comprehensive outsourcing to the private sector, and the Designated Manager System, etc. -We provide a broad range of legal services such as building schemes, drafting contracts and corresponding to regulation, etc. in many cases involving general real estate transactions, securitization of real estate and real estate funds, etc. -We ensure we grasp an understanding of new and revised laws, mainly in the area of laws and regulations in the finance sector, in a timely manner and work with a variety of industry organizations and research panels regarding how to deal with them. We also cooperate with the building of legal systems as well as on the other hand submit opinions to avoid over-regulation, and proactively engage in policy-related legal work pertaining to lawmaking. -For more than thirty years Ken Duncan has travelled the world capturing those precious moments in time that not only can record a history of the world as it is and was, but so many more times captures the true beauty of the world in all its many guises; magnificence, turbulence, fury and destruction, but above all hope and renewal of life on earth. -He has, once again, offered his unique selection of photos on Life, his in particular, in a manner designed to reach out and touch all with the love and beauty that is life, a journey.From the first page to the very last Ken Duncan shares his continuing love of life, of his journey, which is far from complete and his passion through the lens of his camera or rather, his life. -Many prints selected to create this unparalleled work come from a collection which spans more than thirty years, some recent and others which look back decades reflecting upon a lifestyle and country which no longer exists; changing as the world moves forward. -Each page is as unique as the picture place upon it with such loving care. Each photo has its own story: sometimes the story of how he managed to capture such an amazing image, sometimes his musings on life in general and more often than that not, his reflections on one of his many conversations with God, or the Creator, as he is often apt to be called. -Some of the photos are without words. other than a small caption or quote placed underneath. which is all that is required. -Duncan addresses the issues of global warming, political freedom, wildlife preservation and rainforests. He address life and politics in a very subtle but powerful medium, that of the photograph, one that says it all a thousand times over. -Reflective, motivational and unique, the best way to be able to absorb the magnificence in the pages is to begin at the beginning and read through it – no small task. Once you have completed the journey take a page a day, read, reflect and enjoy every moment of the experience and listen to the Creator speak to you thought the magnificent medium of Ken Douglas and his photos, as they portray our world for you. -And He came to earth as God’s only Son. -Now He is seated next to the Father in the heavenly sky. -That He is God’s Son indeed. -We must accept Him and do what He says is right. -That His promises are true so we will receive. -The works of the evil one who is full of lies. -When we accept Him we will receive the prize. -The Port of Neapolis is located in Vatica Bay, at the south-east of the Peloponnese. This port is one of the most ideal locations for provisioning, crew change, lubricants supplies, minor electronics repairs, etc., because it is on the crossroads of numerous international shipping lanes, including the Gibraltar Strait-Black Sea route, Adriatic Sea-Suez Canal or Black Sea route, and various other main sea lanes to/from the Adriatic Sea. The deviation required to reach Vatica Bay is can be as little as 3-5 nautical miles. The port offers safe anchorage (recommended anchorage position: 36º30'N /23º01'5''E) with good depths and no pilotage requirement for arrival or departure. -It's the food.

I know, personally, I have always struggled with this. I say “self-image” instead of “body image” because I believe it’s important to love all of yourself. Your style, your taste, your views, your abilities, your personality. There is a word that I feel has maybe fallen on the back burner these days and that word is INDIVIDUAL. You are you, and there is not a single person out there who is exactly like you. That is something to celebrate, not something to shy away from. -Have you ever let someone else influence how you feel about yourself or how you act? -For example, maybe you use to love Japanese food, but now, since your partner hates it, you haven’t actually had Japanese food in a very long time. Or maybe you use to love the color red, but someone once said “Red is so not your color” and now every time you go to put on something red, that voice is in your head and you end up changing your mind… Now imagine if we let everyone else dictate everything about us. We would all be an absolute mess. It is important for you to really know yourself. Know what you like and dislike and stick to it. This saying is one that I keep in mind and try to live by. -Know what you stand for or you will fall for anything. -I can’t stress how important it is for us to love ourselves and see value in what we have to offer. If we don’t, then how can we expect anyone else to? -I believe social media certainly plays a role in our mental view of ourselves. How we dress, decorate our home, exercise… social media can even influence something as simple as how we feel about our cleaning routine. I know this first hand because I have allowed other people on social media to make me feel small or inadequate before. Maybe because they have a perfectly organized kitchen or they vacuum their carpet every day and I don’t. -Let me repeat – I ALLOW myself feel to small or inadequate. These other people do not in any way TRY to make me feel this way. -Maybe I don’t dust my blinds, or wipe down my fridge every single day – Does that make me a bad mom or wife? NO it doesn’t. Another example from my personal experience is when some moms on social media look so “put together” and flawless in every Instagram photo, whereas I’m almost always wearing leggings and t-shirts that usually have the ever-so-glam spit-up stains on them. And let’s not forget the mom bun hairstyle that seems to be an every day occurrence. Maybe it’s just me, in this phase of life I’m in, but I have definitely allowed the perfect realm of social media to affect how I feel about myself and how I take care of my little family. -Girl, you have to pick yourself up out of the slump that is comparing yourself to others. -You have your own taste, your own style, your own way of doing things. I wonder, if you spent an entire week off of the socials, how would that make you feel? What would change? Like seriously… would you dress the way you wanted, would you play with your make-up and maybe find a new look that you like? Would you cook or bake something you haven’t had in a while simply because you want to? Would you sit down and read a book? Would you start to fall in love with YOU again? -To kind of wrap all of this up, let me leave you with this. -Having a positive self image is one of the absolute best things that you can do for yourself. I urge you, if you don’t already, get to know yourself. Who are you deep down in your core? Without influences, without outside voices, WHO ARE YOU? Once you know the answer to this, ask yourself. -If you don’t like who you are, what do you need to change in order to like yourself a bit more? Now, GO DO IT. -Be more thrifty, give to charity, de-clutter your home, REALLY dance like no one’s watching to your favorite song, whatever it takes. -Thank you all for your wonderful comments and for reading my post! -Writing this post was a process and I’m happy to have discussed a topic you all seem to have enjoyed. I would love it if you would visit my blog and check out some of my other topics! -I am so grateful to Lavrax for publishing my post for all of you lovelies to read. -Being positive about your uniqueness is such a good thing. Thanks for sharing. -President Trump broke his silence on Twitter on Sunday after special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his report to the Justice Department. -In a pair of tweets -- his first in more than a day and half -- the president put out an upbeat message without mentioning the Russia investigation. -"Good Morning, Have A Great Day!" he said in one tweet. -"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he said in the other. -Trump left Washington, D.C., on Friday morning for Florida, where he is spending the weekend at his Palm Beach property, the Mar-a-Lago, with first lady Melania Trump and their son Barron, who just turned 13 last week. -The president hadn’t said anything publicly about the end of Mueller’s investigation, which he has called a “witch hunt” run by “angry Democrats,” but he has been updated about any Russia investigation developments by his lawyers. Before leaving the White House, Trump repeated his assertion to reporters that there was “no collusion” between his 2016 presidential campaign and Russia. -Before his tweets Sunday morning the president had been quiet on Twitter, his primary forum for attacking the special counsel’s investigation, since news that Mueller’s investigation concluded broke Friday evening. -While in Florida, Trump stepped into a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser Friday evening where Sen. Lindsey Graham delivered a speech and played golf with singer Kid Rock. -Trump has no public events on his schedule for Sunday and is expected to return to the White House in the evening. -Mueller delivered his report to Attorney General William Barr on Friday, concluding his 22-month-long investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Barr told congressional leaders in a letter he may be able to provide them with the special counsel’s “principal conclusions” as early as this weekend. -The investigation led to the indictments of 34 people and three Russian companies, including six individuals close to Trump like former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, but none relate to collusion with Russia. Mueller is not expected to not recommend any new indictments. -No, Trump can’t pardon himself. The Constitution tells us so. -Correction: An earlier version of this op-ed misspelled the name of former defense secretary Caspar Weinberger. This version has been updated. -Laurence H. Tribe is the Carl M. Loeb University Professor and Professor of Constitutional Law at Harvard Law School. Richard Painter, a law professor at the University of Minnesota, was chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2007 and is vice-chair of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). Norman Eisen, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, was chief White House ethics lawyer for President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2011 and is chair of CREW. -Elizabeth Holtzman: In the Russia probe, could Trump pardon himself? -Dana Milbank: Trump can do whatever he wants. God help us. -Unlike many of his peers, Crane is quick to let down his hair [not literally, of course]. -You might know Ben Crane best from his YouTube videos, in which he speeds up his pace of play by donning Rollerblades and being towed by a golf cart; raps about barely qualifying for the FedEx Cup playoffs ("I'm a bubble boy/buh-buh-bubble boy"); and shares his mental-game secrets, Golf in the Kingdom–style ("I experience zone. I'm speaking to you from the now, in the middle of the now.") Crane also croons with his fellow Golf Boys bandmates Rickie Fowler, Hunter Mahan and Bubba Watson (with lyrics by Mat Kearney, the singer-songwriter who, like Crane, hails from Oregon). But the 37-year-old funnyman also has an intense side. You've heard of the 10,000 hours it takes to master a pursuit? Crane has logged 35,000 hours honing his game. (He counted.) If you think that's odd, consider that Crane believes he's no more innately talented at golf than you are. The main reason he chose this career path was because as a kid he could beat his five buddies. The Tour's biggest ham talks about the 100 percent commitment required to excel at both golf and comedy, his infamously slow pace of play, and why he won't let the bad back that knocked him out of the 2013 FedEx Cup playoffs diminish his enthusiasm -- or his sense of humor. -In the media center after you won the 2010 Farmers Insurance Open, you broke into an impersonation of your southern-fried, former-college-football-coach agent Tommy Limbaugh. It got quite a laugh, even among the cynical press. Was that when you realized you could bring your act to a wider audience? -It's been a slow progression, no pun intended, where things have just worked. The more you show your personality, the more fun everyone else has. I'm watching tennis last night, I'm watching Rafael Nadal play a guy, and it was 6-0 in the first set, and in the second set the guy is just trying to score a point. He finally thought he scored one; they did the shot-spot thing, and it was out by an inch. It was the moment where he should have gone, like, What do I gotta do to score a point against this Nadal guy? But he didn't. Athletes get so stuck in competition sometimes that we just can't let go of it. -Has your game improved since you've been expressing this lighter side? -Well, 2010 and 2005 were my best years, but it's been a battle with my body. I have a lot more potential now, and I have a bigger team around me. Instead of no one following me, now I'll have friends who are following me, and sometimes they'll walk up to a random person and say, "Who are you following?" In a few cases the person has said, "Ben Crane. He's my favorite player." And my friend will go, "Why?" And the kid will say, "You don't know? You don't know about the videos?" [Laughs] That is so fun right there. -Your fans definitely get your sense of humor. When your caddie decided to take a day off on a Wednesday, and you told people to apply on Twitter for the one-day job to replace him, you got interesting responses, like, "I have a rough tongue like a cat and can clean the grooves of a wedge in seconds. My tics are mostly silent." -[Laughs] That deserves to be written somewhere in this magazine! That is so good. We've opened up the job twice, actually. We did it at the Byron Nelson and at the Travelers. For the Nelson, we found a guy who had played in college. It was his birthday. And for the Travelers, we did it for a cause called Charity: Water, and the guy bid a couple of thousand bucks. He was awesome. We really hit it off. -Do you think most Tour pros could stand to loosen up? -I don't think, I know. I mean, I'm very serious between the ropes at times, especially when it's not going well. I can feel like I can't let myself have a good time. But guys need to pick their chin up a little bit and look around. Dude, you're on the PGA Tour! You've probably dreamed about this since you were a kid. It's so fun. I don't care if you just made double; you have the opportunity to look at a kid and throw him a ball and make his day. I try to remember that. -You show full comedic commitment in your spoof videos, which you have to do to make them work. Your wardrobe gets laughs, too. Where did the helmet come from? In the video where you offer exercise tips, it's a crucial prop, along with the unitard. -My buddy went to Goodwill and found it. I was like, "What is this thing?" It's a low-end ski helmet. I never picked up on that until the fifth video. That whole outfit is like five bucks at Good-will. It's awful. It's so tight. It doesn't breathe. It would be great in the Oregon fall, for surfing. -Who are your favorite comedians? Have you seen Borat? -I have not seen Borat. Honestly, the stuff that Joel [Stock], my caddie, and I have seen -- he has a great sense of humor and a great memory for funny lines -- would be "Coming to America," "Spies Like Us," "Caddyshack" and "Dumb and Dumber." -Right. Kind of like "Life of Pi." At the end you go, "Ah, now it makes sense." -Unfortunately, "Planes." It was a big letdown. "Shrek" was amazing. "Cars" was amazing. "Planes" was not. And "Finding Nemo" was great. -You have three kids, so it's obvious who's picking the movies. What TV shows do you watch? -You know, I'm trying to think if I've turned on the TV this year for something other than sports. I watched the Bible documentary. When you have three kids under 6, you have to ask, am I going to space out on the couch for an hour and a half, or am I going to hang out with my kids? When your kids are grown up and out of the house, everyone says, "It happened so fast. I wish they were back." -Musician Mat Kearney helped with the lyrics on Golf Boys 2.0 and the Bubble Boy video, which poked fun at you for being 125th on the money list at the Barclays. Which video took the longest to make? -Golf Boys 2.0 was six weeks of talking to the production crew and doing some of the writing with Kearney, and giving feedback and stuff. The shoot only took two days, but afterward, editing and stuff, it was a couple of months. We shot it at Vaquero here in Dallas. -Did everyone stay at your house? -They did, except for Hunter, who lives here. Bubba bought my daughter her first Elmo. He's awesome with kids. And Rickie was on the floor rolling around with them. It was funny; we were driving to the course and one of Kearney's songs came on the radio. I was sitting there thinking, What do you do when you're sitting right next to a guy whose song is on the radio? Do you sing along? -Do you ever play money games with Ryan Palmer or Todd Hamilton or any of the other pros who live and play at Vaquero? -I should, but it's really just practice. I like playing in the Phil money game, the Mickelson game on Tuesdays. It's competitive. I've played in that a few times, and you're so ready to play in the tournament after that. -Mickelson loves to get in guys' ears. Give us your best Phil smack-talking story. -A few months back, Phil and I were playing a match in an off-week, and we were on the 10th green, both about eight feet away for birdie. He said, "I found the secret to putting." And I said, "Really?" Well, I make my putt and he misses, and because he's always jabbing me, I say, "Looks like I had the secret to putting on that one." He thinks about it for about 10 seconds and says, "Yeah, but I had the secret to putting at the British Open." [Laughs] Yes, he did. -You rapped with Bubba Watson on the 16th tee during the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Were you more nervous for that or the golf? -I was going to do it anyway. I had the helmet in the bag and everything. And then Bubba and I got paired together. I mean, are you kidding me? It was perfect. And there's a guy who stands up there and says, "Hey, crowd, be quiet," and so we went over and grabbed his microphone. But, yeah, I was nervous. -Rory Sabbatini famously left you in the dust at the 2005 Booz Allen at Congressional. Have you gotten much faster with your pace of play since then? -Rory and I are friends, and I've tried to get better. Last year I talked to Jon Brendle, a Tour official, and they see everything. I said, "Hey, how am I doing?" His reaction was very positive. He said, "Just keep up with the group in front of you." I don't want guys to get bummed out when they get paired with me. I didn't even know in high school and college golf that I was slow. No one ever said anything. -You beat Rory Mcllroy 8 and 7 in the WGC-Accenture Match Play in 2011, and later that year you made eight birdies in the last 11 holes to force a playoff with Webb Simpson in the McGladrey Classic, which you then won. Were you hotter when you thumped Rory or when you beat Webb? -When I made those eight birdies, I got so hot with the putter. Webb told me he went back and watched the broadcast, like, six months later. He said, "I got so mad. They were going in from across the green!" With Rory, I was playing some of the best golf of my life, but my back went out the next morning on the range. -You finished the year 139th in driving distance. Was that because of your back? -My clubhead speed on the Nation-wide Tour was about 124 miles an hour. If I saw the front lip of a bunker 300 yards out, I wouldn't even think about it -- I'd just fly it. I was so long. I was No. 1 in driving distance for the first five months of the season out there, but then I got injured and stopped working on being fast, and now I'm way down in driving distance. [Laughs] I can't smoke it anymore. -Did that inspire you to become a better short-game player? -It contributed to it. Plus, when you're not feeling well you can at least work on your chipping and putting, which I did. I would swing on a launch monitor and think about how I could get faster. I went from 115 mph to 124 mph in about a year. -You've worked with short-game coach James Sieckmann for a few years. How much of your short-game prowess do you owe to him? Why do you two click? -I was having some trouble with my chipping and pitching, with my contact, especially on Bermuda grass with tight lies. I was like, "I'm missing something." I spoke to Tom Pernice, who said, "You should go see my guy." I said, "You've got a guy?" It's been dynamite. I think I'm top 10 in bunker play. He really understands the mental game, too. -Have you also seen improvement in your wedge play? -I'm much more confident with that 50-yard shot, the 60-yard shot, just because he's taught me proper technique and how to practice for that shot. The difference between the best player in the world and the guy who finishes 100th on the money list is not much -- maybe one shot a round. -It's a fine line out there. "It's a fine line between clever and stupid." Do you know what that's from? -"This Is Spinal Tap." Have you seen that film? -You have to see "Spinal Tap"! For a comedy lover, it's an absolute must. -Okay, it's on my list. I'll write it down. -You used to not look at the Tour pairings to see who you were playing with the next day, in case it was someone you grew up idolizing. Do you still not look? -I still don't look. The Tour sends you your tee time for the next day, but it goes to my caddie's phone, it goes to my wife's phone, but not to my phone. Some guys will spoil the surprise and say, "Looks like it's you and me tomorrow." -You learned the game at the age of 5 from your grandfather, right? -Yeah, my grandpa was like my best friend, and if I wanted to hang out with him we were going to play golf. The cool thing was, he had three old guys he played with, and one of his cronies died when I was 8 or 10, so I took his spot. We gambled a lot. We played a dime a hole, and double or nothing on 18, so it was big money. That was when I learned to love the game. That was at Portland Golf Club, which we live a block away from in the summer. -Are you a member there? -Yeah, they gave me an honorary membership. They have a plaque saying that that's where I learned to play. There's a lot of history there. They had a Ryder Cup in . Hogan played there, and a lot of the greats, so they're like, "Do you want us to put your plaque up?" [Laughs] I'm like, "No, no, in the ground is fine." So they put it in the ground next to the putting green. -You're a big tennis fan. What else did you play as a kid? -I'd seen my dad going to work every day [he owned a small media-development firm] and I thought, That looks terrible. I've got to figure out professional sports. I played basketball until 10th grade, but I was vertically challenged and maybe the fourth-best player on my team. Soccer, I was the third-best guy on my team. Baseball, I'm kind of afraid of the ball. Golf, well, I was the best golfer of my five friends, so I decided to go for it. I quit everything else, practiced every day as hard as I could. The pro I worked with growing up used to say, "I think if I worked a little harder I could've made it." I thought, I'll never say that. -So you got your 10,000 hours in. -Thirty-five thousand -- I added 'em up. -So you should be really good by now, given you've put in more than three times as much as the 10,000 hours that Malcolm Gladwell recommends in his book "Outliers." -I read "Bounce" [by Matthew Syed] and "Talent is Overrated" [by Geoff Colvin]. I think Bounce is the best one. He proved that guys like Mozart, Roger Federer -- it has nothing to do with genes; it's about putting in specific, intense hours of practice. Of course, you can't play post for the Houston Rockets if you're my size. -So you don't think you have any more innate ability at golf than a bogey golfer? -No. I think we all have unique gifts, but just about anyone can train to be just about anything. -Well, that's both encouraging and discouraging. Four victories on Tour, two Web.com wins -- are you done? You're 37, and you've got a bad back. Is this it? -No. I'm planning to do the Steve Stricker thing. I'm planning to go to 47, and I'm planning to have the best decade of my career from 37 to 47. I am so confident that my best golf is in front of me -- and this is the shooter's mentality in basketball -- that I'm thinking of putting money down on myself in Vegas. -Acer Aspire 4741G Drivers Free Driver and Software update Acer Aspire 4741G Sound Audio Driver 5734 Z win7 driver Acer Aspire 5734Z Ethernet.network controller driver windows 7 64 bit atheros acer aspire free download network controller driver windows 7 64 bit atheros acer aspire free download.Identify your Acer product and we will provide you with downloads, Highpoint Service Network Drivers and Manuals Identify your Acer Device.Download Acer Aspire 4741g Wireless Network Driver Absolutely Free!

But the real kicker for me is that while they are KITS, they are still wonderfully open-ended. There is no right or wrong way to create bubble wands or garden art or any other art or craft in the Artterro kits (and we’ve tried just about all of their art kits at this point). -We were excited to try out Artterro’s bubble wand kit, partly because who doesn’t love a bubble wand? -And an even more sustainable focus. -Among other changes, the packaging is now made from 100% recycled cardboard. -Maia, Daphne, and I got to work on making bubble wands with the kit. -Each kit has two painted wooden dowels so can officially be used to make 2 bubble wands. However, if you have a few sticks or dowels around, you could easily make several more with the amount of wire and glass beads included. -Maia and I poked wire through the holes at the tops of the wooden dowels, bent it into our desired bubble wand shapes, then looped it back down and wrapped it around the dowels to secure it. -Maia made a simple heart-shaped bubble wand (above). -Daphne and I collaborated to make a flower-shaped bubble wand. -The bubble wand kit says it’s for ages 8 and up, but Daphne, at 4, was able to participate at her own level. -I did the wire bending and cutting on our wand and she did the bead stringing (one of her favorite activities). -Here’s our finished flower bubble wand. -The kit doubles as a garden art kit, with thicker wire and bigger beads and marbles for the garden art. -But then decided they were too awesome as silly dress up glasses. -So she created a spiral for the garden instead. The beads are meant to be attached by wrapping the thinner wire around them, but Maia had a bit of trouble with that, and decided to use scotch tape instead. -Have you made homemade bubble wands? Or garden art? -P.S. Tomorrow I’ll share photos from our afternoon of bubble blowing with our new homemade bubble wands! -If you’d like to try out this or other art kits, check out the new and improved arts and crafts kits in the Artterro shop or read on for an Artterro art kit giveaway. -To enter the giveaway for a chance to win both Artterro’s Deluxe Bubble Wand Kit as well as their Needle Felting Kit, leave a comment to this post by Friday, April 25th at 11:59 pm EST. After you leave your comment, make sure to tell the Rafflecopter widget that you commented and would like to enter the giveaway! Giveaway open to readers in the US. -This Artterro Eco Art Kit was sent to us for free to try out and review, by Artterro, an Artful Parent sponsor. All opinions expressed are my own. -I love Artterro kits, and the idea of a bubble wand-making kit is too fabulous. -My kiddos are obsessed with bubbles and would be over the moon if we made our own bubble wands! -I have been making bubble wands since I was a little girl I make my own glass beads also. I use vynal covered close line wire .it comes in different shiney colors . Have lots of fun sell lots .I put up a tea cart a bowl of water or bucket on the ground. A wand to use and God bless you and yours .if you’re interested in calling me for more tips call 443-296-7699 ..ask for hummer take me over the moon with you please and lots of ♡ . -What beautiful bubble wands!

Love this company and the fact that it is made in the USA! -Very cool! I’d love to win! Thanks! -I was not familiar with Artterro kits until I read this post. But I love the idea of the bubble wands, and as a needlefelter myself, I can’t wait to check out the needlefelting and whatever other kits they have. I love the sustainable focus. Thanks for posting! -That’s really amazing. Thanks ! Love from France. -Very inspiring! Great kit ideas! We love bubbles so this just makes it even more fun! -Looks like so much fun and good for motor coordination too. -I never thought of this! I would love a kit to help me get started, and hopefully after that we could use leftover bits that I have collected. -Their kits gave always looked fantastic. I’d love to try. -What a neat kit! My little artist would love it! -This would make my daughters very happy!! -I’d not heard of this company before. Thanks for the introduction! I’ll have to check out more of their merchandise and ideas. :-D My daughter LOVES blowing bubbles. I believe she was at it for about 3 hours the other day! -I’m always looking for some sort of organized project for my son, which I why I like kits like these.

It aimed to combine unexpected materials and fuse categories together, such as using dressy finishes on more casual styles. -In addition to introducing new hybrid shoes — like a velvet slip-on sneaker that resembled a smoking slipper — the new offering made sure to tick all the right shoe trends, too, using shearlings and corduroys as well as introducing sock-fit sneakers. -Jimmy Choo fall ’17 collection. -Compared to its previous seasons, the collection here felt much more cohesive overall. Though it cast a wide net in terms of treatments and styles, the brand made attempts to continue them across all of the footwear categories. -For more fall shoes, click through the gallery. -Why does your body grow healthy … or unhealthy cells? -Home » Blog » Why does your body grow healthy … or unhealthy cells? -Look outside and see how fast your garden is turning green. Spring accelerates cellular growth. When cells multiply and divide, they duplicate their present condition. When mutated cells divide, they recreate their chaos and continue to do so. -How can you create healthy cells in a habitat of pollution? A body full of toxic wastes, heavy metals, and acidic chemicals is providing a perfect habitat for destructive microbes. When they take over, microbes create mutations inside your cells. Viruses, fungus, and bad microbes love toxic waste. They not only survive on it, but they also thrive on it! -Harmony and wellness need a pure, clean, healthy environment. Excess acidic wastes are the underlying cause of degenerative diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, neurological disorders, and cancer, in fact, all other diseases. -Springtime is the perfect time of year to create wellness – to join in nature’s heightened healing potential. Spring has always been the time of year to cleanse, like pruning the garden to make way for new, healthy growth. -Previous PostWhat do heavy metals and mold toxicity have in common? -BC Ferries garnered $315.8 million in revenue according to a new report from the passenger ferry operator, translating to net earnings of $90 million. -According to second quarter results in a press release, net earnings are down compared to the same period last year, a three-month term ending on Sept. 30. -The company said the decrease is the result of lowering fares and adding more sailings to meet customer demand. -“BC Ferries provided 288 (640 year-to-date) additional round trips compared to the same time last year throughout the system and adjusted the schedules for the routes operating out of Horseshoe Bay terminal,” said Mark Collins, president and CEO of BC Ferries. -In April, a fare reduction of 15 per cent was put into effect on all but three Metro Vancouver to Vancouver Island routes. As well, the seniors’ passengers discount was increased from 50 to 100 per cent for weekday travel, excluding Fridays. -The initiative is part of a two-year plan funded by the province and BC Ferries. -Additional sailings and the schedule adjustments required for them increased operating expenses by $13.9 million in the quarter. A new direct route between Port Hardy and Bella Coola also resulted in additional costs for labour, fuel and training. -BC Ferries plans to invest more than $3.9 million as part of its 12-Year Capital Plan, upgrading its fleet, utilizing alternative energy sources and overhauling terminals like the one at Swartz Bay. -Full Bloom Vintage Moroccan Rug 4'6" x 7'4" -Bold, bright colors with a beautiful free form design!

But when your chimney’s flue isn’t topped with a chimney cap, animals of various kinds will take that as an open invitation to move into your chimney and into your home. And since your chimney isn’t the only vent open to the outdoors, it’s not your only animal concern — your dryer vent can allow animals to make their way in as well. -The most efficient way to prevent animal intruders is to have a chimney cap or animal guard installed by Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps. -Birds, squirrels, raccoons, bats and even snakes have been known to enter homes through a chimney that doesn’t have a chimney cap or an animal guard protecting it. It makes sense: Your chimney is a tall structure that can offer protection to nesting animals. Unfortunately, although adult birds and animals can often leave your chimney as easily as they came into it, their babies aren’t as capable. If they can’t exit by climbing up, their natural reaction is to try and get down, which brings them into your home, causing considerable damage along the way as they frantically try to escape. If they don’t make it out of your chimney at all, they’ll likely die, causing an array of other problems, including odors and maggot infestations. -Wild animals that come into your home bring annoying noises and unwanted smells, but they routinely bring along bigger concerns, too. They bring highly-flammable nesting materials that block your flue; fleas, lice and other insects; and rabies and other diseases that can put you and your family at risk. Raccoons, in particular, are known for being vicious, and can make their way into your home through your fireplace opening. -Removing animals isn’t easy, and with certain animals, it can be particularly complicated. Chimney swifts are federally-protected birds that love to nest in chimneys, and they cannot be forcibly removed. Bats are another protected species. If these animals make their way into your chimney, you’ll have to wait for them to leave on their own. Call Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps if you find that birds or bats are living in your chimney — after they’ve left, we can clean everything out, check for damages and install a chimney cap to keep you from having problems in the future. -If you’ve heard animal noises in your chimney, make sure the chimney is swept and inspected before you use it, and have Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps install a chimney cap to protect your system going forward. -Keeping animals out is an important part of the chimney cap’s role in your chimney system, but it’s not the only assistance it provides.

Here are ten items I could truly do without. If you know me, I'm not usually about spreading the hateration, but sometimes we all need a good vent. -1. Julianne Hough - Thankfully I never saw that Footloose remake. However, I did catch this summer's Rock of Ages, and while I was entertained, this 24-year-old bobblehead came close to spoiling the whole musical enchilada for me. And she's still dating Seacrest? And getting more movie roles? Why, Hollywood, why? -2. Fifty Shades of Grey - I picked up a copy at the L.A. Times Festival of Books back in April, read one page, and then felt the urge to bring it with me into a bathroom stall after eating a dozen shrimp tacos. The latest literary sensation will eventually become the next movie franchise sensation. Wake me up when it's over. -3. Ke$ha - The second full-length album from this glitter tramp is scheduled to arrive before the year is over. In related news, I think I just contracted herpes from writing that last sentence. -4. Adam Sandler - I did not need to see Jack & Jill or That's My Boy to realize that the King of Fart Jokes (and his entire production company) is running on fumes. It would be great if he went into hiding and then returned 20 years later to do a respectable cameo in a Tarantino flick. -5. Big-budget comic book adaptations - The Avengers should have been the grand finale that hammered the final nail in the genre's coffin. It was one giant, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am way to lasso up all of our favorite superheroes and send them off in a spectacular farewell. But no, we're getting Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Ant-Man, Iron Man 3, and another Wolverine. -6. Charlie Sheen - This gimmick is deader than the silent graveyard otherwise known as my love life. -7. Anything labeled with the Kardashian name - Speaks for itself. -8. American Idol - Usually, when people are jumping overboard, that means the ship is sinking. This voyage plummeted to the bottom of the ocean a while ago and is now a piece of driftwood floating aimlessly in a pool of muck. How many more interchangeable "white guys with guitars" do we need to crown before every light on the stage burns out? Mariah Carey, prepare that life vest. -9. Movies based on the novels of Nicholas Sparks - Or, what I like to call The Notebook Effect. Forever fooling singletons into thinking they'll meet the love of their life during a war, in a car accident, on a beach, or in a torrential rainstorm. I think I liked these better when they were called Lifetime Movies of the Week. -10. Kristen Stewart - I'm sure she's a cool chick once you get to know her, but 1.) she ain't fairer than Charlize Theron 2.) I worry that future generations of impressionable actresses will be studying her two methods of "acting" which are: Look Like You're Constipated and Look Like You Got Cramps and 3.) the girl needs to enroll in a few classes on public speaking. -I'll stop there. And to those responsible for the above, I hope you will too. -Amen to #10. Frankly they're all right on the $$$.

Ilhan Omar (D-MN-05) fired off dozens of tweets this week in response to President Donald Trump’s Tuesday address to the nation, nearly outpacing the president himself in tweets about the southern border wall. -“Two children died in ICE custody last month after 10+ years with no such deaths. There’s blood on your hands,” Omar tweeted Tuesday. -Tonight, while #Trump gets free airtime for propaganda on the "humanitarian & national security crisis" at the border, CHILDREN sit in cold cages in inhumane conditions. Two children died in ICE custody last month after 10+ years with no such deaths. There's blood on your hands. -“We are literally watching a manufactured crisis, designed to divert attention from this criminal and dysfunctional administration. Stay woke America, Individual-1 is not one to sleep on,” she later wrote. Notably, Individual 1 was a code-name used by federal prosecutors in the charges brought against Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, and it was later made clear that Trump and Individual 1 are one and the same. -We are literally watching a manufactured crisis, designed to divert attention from this criminal and dysfunctional administration. -After Trump’s remarks, Omar sought to fact-check the president, specifically taking issue with his numbers on unaccompanied minors who crossed the border and were suspected of having MS-13 affiliations. -“Border apprehensions are at a 45 year low, down 75 percent from 1.6 million in 2000 to 396,579 in 2018. The facts don’t lie, but Trump does. Not one dollar for his vanity wall,” Omar added. -The facts don't lie, but Trump does. -“The number one role a president has is to protect Americans and our homeland, and today’s visit to the southern border by President Trump further illustrates his strong commitment to the safety of this great nation and its people,” Minnesota GOP Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan said in a Thursday press release. -Background Photo “Trump Shutdown” by Ilhan Omar. -The design is part of the complex set of upgrading and territorial innovation actions promoted at the Universal Exposition 2015, aimed at enhancing the Lombard territory as a whole and, in particular, at ensuring the necessary access roads. -The design pursues full integration of the exhibition center Expo 2015 with the territory, ensuring proper access to the site by means of an expressway with approx. 3 km length, located northwest of Milan, close to the new Exhibition Center in Rho-Pero. -From a merely road perspective, the link is a natural continuation of the alternative route to the S.S. 11 'Padana Superiore' in the municipality of Milan, as it originates from the intersection of the latter with the S.S. 33 'del Sempione'. -During the upgrading stage, the route initially develops in an artificial tunnel passing under the area of the Integrated Intervention Plan in Cascina Merlata; then it joins the design roads for the new junction on the A4 Milan-Turin as well as with a primary municipal road under development in the municipality of Milan (interdistrict road). Subsequently, passing over the FS railway station Milano Certosa of the Milan-Novara line, the A4 motorway and the EXPO 2015 area, it ends with a partial junction on the A8 'Milano Laghi' motorway in north direction. -The layout has been designed in such a way that, in the future, an extension would be possible to reach the S.S. 233 'Varesina' and the SP 40 'Rho-Monza'. -The main works included in the design are the artificial tunnel passing under the area of the Integrated Intervention Plan in Cascina Merlata and the viaduct originating south of the intersected railway line and ending at the A8 motorway. -Built with the characteristic excavation method 'Milan type' (which allows to minimize construction times and impact on the territory during the works) and the innovative system of the 'white tank' (thanks to which waterproof concrete can be obtained already during processing), the artificial tunnel develops for approx. 1 km, bypassing the S.S.33 del Sempione and joining the roads leading to the Western by-pass road at Molino Dorino. -The system of bridges and viaducts is made of a series of steel arches: for the bridges on the A4 and A8 motorways, these elements have a structural function; while along the EXPO viaduct they only have an aesthetic function, aimed at making the whole project look organic and well fitted into the urban context of 'EXPO 2015' and creating the so-called 'Door of Milan' (a distinctive element for those who drive on the road from and to the city center). -The whole elevated system is made even more homogeneous and characteristic by the covering 'guard' of the decks, an external metal coating of Alucobond that ensures continuity among the works. Thanks to specific lighting studies, the presence of this element helps create an appealing play of light during the evening and in the night. -In a reasonably tight race in eastern Oregon, Grant county decided to continue with a ban on marijuana related businesses Tuesday. The ban, which was enacted by the County Court after the legislature paved the way last year, was challenged when cannabis advocates raised enough signatures to place a Measure 12-58 on the local ballot during the primary election on May 17th. -The margin for the loss was 46.4% voting yes to 53.6% voting no (to keep the ban). In all, just over 3,000 votes were cast (est. 95% reporting). Grant county is one of the least populated in Oregon. -Interestingly, local law enforcement and Federal agents recently raided a illegal mountain cannabis grow near Wheeler. Likely run by a Mexican cartel with workers camping near the grow site, no one was arrested and over 8,000 plants were eradicated. -In a similar effort, Klamath Falls Measure 18-105 also failed.

December and January in particular can get quite frosty in the far north of Vietnam - pack accordingly.

Speaking as an old school R.E.M. nut, I recall being really puzzled/disappointed/upset even when I first heard OOT back in 1991. It just didn’t sound like R.E.M. to me. -From memory the b sides from the OOT album weren’t that inspiring (mostly live tracks from The Green tour if I recall). -Jerry Springer says he is still deciding whether he will run for Ohio governor in 2018. -Speculation around Springer’s potential gubernatorial bid has been growing for several months. -The Enquirer also reported Wednesday that Springer is soliciting feedback from Ohio State Sen. Sandra Williams, Democratic Reps. Janine Boyd and Stephanie Howse, and political consultants. -“Glad to be in attendance @ rep’s Stephanie Howse and Janine Boyd fundraiser w/Jerry Springer, possible candidate for Gov. of Ohio,” Williams tweeted Tuesday. -“He’s very serious,” Williams said of Springer’s interest in running, in an interview with Cleveland.com. -The fundraiser was held at Nighttown, a Cleveland Heights jazz club and restaurant. -Ring said Springer gave a brief speech at the fundraiser. -Springer, 73, previously considered running for US Senate in 2000 and 2004, but decided against it. -He has previously attributed the rumors around his potential bid for governor to former reality TV star Donald Trump’s successful White House bid. -But people continued to discuss Springer’s potential return to politics. -In late May, Business Insider, citing more than half a dozen Democrats familiar with the race, reported influential Ohio Democrats — including former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke — pushed for Springer to run. -In an interview with CNN’s Brooke Baldwin in May of 2016, Springer — who supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 — was seemingly unsurprised by Trump’s popularity. He said that since President Ronald Reagan, a generation of Americans has grown up believing government is the problem in America. -“The celebrity in politics was inevitable,” Springer said. -Since Trump’s win, a growing number of celebrities have expressed interest in running for office, or have not ruled out pursuing politics in the future. -“I think it’s a real possibility,” Johnson told the publication when asked if he would ever run. -In July, a West Virginia resident created a campaign committee called “Run The Rock 2020” to draft Johnson as a presidential candidate in 2020. -Musician Kid Rock teased a potential bid for US Senate, but ultimately used the social media hype around the buzz to announce his non-profit designed to promote voter registration. -Description: Stumps from dead trees that were drowned when the lake level was raised in the 1920s to generate electricity.

His heart stopped while he was riding his bicycle near his home in Fort Frances, Ontario. He is survived by his wife Dorothy Friesen and many, many peacemakers who stand on the broad shoulders of his lifetime of creative action. -Gene nurtured and shaped Christian Peacemaker Teams from its beginning almost 25 years ago. As director for the first 16 years of CPT’s organizational life, Gene’s vision, ideas, and initiatives laid a strong foundation for our present work. His style, faith, humor, strengths, shortcomings and quirks are embedded in CPT. His hand remains evident in CPT’s training and deployment of long-term, diverse, disciplined and empowered teams; in team and office meals and shared check-ins; in CPT’s creative direct action to reduce violence and highlight injustice; in patterns of prayer and mutual support sending each other out truly blessed; in CPT’s attentiveness to exposing privilege and undoing oppression; and in CPT’s deep roots of connection throughout the Church, which is in turn transformed into a hotbed of peacemaking. -Gene brought tremendous energy, courage and commitment to the work of Christian peacemaking. During his tenure as director, CPT grew from a dream and a dialog about active peacemaking, to sustaining and supporting full-time field teams with hundreds of trained CPTers working in partnership with local peacemakers in conflict zones across the globe. -Gene saw a military culture worldwide and asked how the church could create a counter-culture. He held out a vision of a world free from war and successfully passed that vision on to a new generation of CPTers. He saw in us, and helped us become, competent, capable peacemakers. We imagine him now, already organizing the Celestial Peacemaker Teams. -Thank-you, Gene. We miss you. -Glitz and glam in your hand, that’s what Chanel’s Silver Quilted Distressed Calfskin Cosmetic Bag is!

This would boost the annual increase in the wages to 3.1 per cent, the biggest gain since April 2009, from 2.8 per cent in September. -Strong annual wage growth would mirror other data published this week showing wages and salaries rising in the third quarter by the most since mid-2008. Hourly compensation also increased at a brisk pace in the third quarter. -Firming wages support views that inflation will hover around the Fed’s 2.0 per cent target for a while. The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding the volatile food and energy components has increased 2.0 per cent for five straight months. -The Fed is not expected to raise rates at its meeting next Wednesday, but economists believe strong labour market data could see the US central bank signal an increase in December. The Fed raised borrowing costs in September for the third time this year. -Sometimes the corporate-charity link is as obvious as a signpost, as in the CIBC Run for the Cure or the HBC Summer Brain Gain program.

In return, Brazil will hold off imposing blocks on imports or ignoring patents and copyrights, which it is entitled to do after a World Trade Organisation panel declared the US cotton support programme illegal. -DTN Political Correspondent Jerry Hagstrom reported on Friday (link requires subscription) that, “As USDA officials and crop insurance executives prepared to meet in Kansas City Friday to discuss USDA’s final offer of a new crop insurance contract, Agriculture Undersecretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services Jim Miller and Rep. Jerry Moran sparred Thursday over whether CBO will credit the farm bill baseline with $2 billion the Obama administration intends to repurpose from crop insurance to other programs. -(FarmPolicy.com Note: At an April 21 House Ag Committee hearing, Sec. Vilsack indicated in a response to a question regarding crop insurance and the baseline that, “As it relates to the baseline, just simply let me say that our hope is that we can work with the chairman and others on this committee and conserve and preserve these savings so that you all have the flexibility to do what you need to do as you begin to address the 2012 Farm Bill and Rural Development Bill with as much flexibility as you possibly need.” (Unofficial Farmpolicy.com transcript, at page 27)). -William Neuman reported on Friday at The New York Times Online that, “The Obama administration proposed new rules on Friday seeking to increase competition and rein in potentially unfair practices by large meatpackers and poultry processors. The move is aimed at helping small livestock and poultry farmers survive in an industry dominated by corporate giants. -“The rules could give farmers and ranchers new leverage in suing meat companies that they believe have treated them unfairly. They would end practices among cattle and hog buyers that may lower prices paid to farmers and feedlot owners. And they would set new protections for poultry farmers, who often must go deeply into debt to build the chicken houses needed to win contracts from processors. -The Times article noted that, “The regulatory move comes as the Agriculture and Justice Departments have been holding a series of public workshops to discuss allegations of anticompetitive behavior in agriculture. -Friday’s article added that, “Groups representing the meat industry criticized the proposed rules. -The AP reported on Friday that, “Perhaps the most significant provision in the new rules is one that makes it easier for farmers to file suits under the Packers and Stockyards Act, said Peter Carstensen, a law professor at the University of Wisconsin who has studied agriculture competition law for decades. -“Farmers who now sue under the act must show a company has not only harmed them but that it has hurt competition in the overall meat industry, Carstensen said. -Bob Keefe reported on Friday at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that, “The rules could have a significant impact on farmers in Georgia — the nation’s biggest poultry producer — and potentially affect how much consumers pay for chicken in the future. -The AJC article noted too that, “The proposed rule changes also raised a red flag at the Senate Agriculture Committee, where Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia is the ranking member. -Reuters news reported on Friday that, “Small-farm groups applauded the proposed rule. ‘As long as the companies can arbitrarily cut off deliveries of birds to contract growers or cancel growers’ contracts at any time, we will always be at the mercy of the companies’ whims,’ said Mike Weaver, president of the Contract Poultry Growers Association of the Virginias. -In other livestock related Farm Bill issues, Lyndsey Layton reported in yesterday’s Washington Post that, “Under the Obama administration and the 2008 farm bill passed by Congress, the USDA is shifting attention to small and mid-size farms, encouraging organic and sustainable agriculture, and investing in projects to bring locally grown meat and produce to consumers. -“The agency is promoting small meat producers in part by funding and approving more mobile slaughter units, staffing each one with a federal inspector, educating farmers and USDA employees about the units, and setting clear guidelines for farmers who want to build one. In December, the department set up a toll-free help line dedicated to small producers. -Alexandra Zavis reported on Saturday at the Los Angeles Times Online that, “With concern growing in Sacramento about the millions of Californians struggling to get sufficient nutrition, advocates for the poor had hoped for progress this year on recommendations to improve access to federal food stamps. -Tom Zeller Jr. reported on Friday at The New York Times Online that, “[P]ower generated by burning wood, plants and other organic material, which makes up 50 percent of all renewable energy produced in the United States, according to federal statistics, is facing increased scrutiny and opposition. -“That, critics say, is because it is not as climate-friendly as once thought, and the pollution it causes in the short run may outweigh its long-term benefits. -Mr. Zeller noted that, “Biomass proponents say it is a simple and proved renewable technology based on natural cycles. They acknowledge that burning wood and other organic matter releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere just as coal does, but point out that trees and plants also absorb the gas. If done carefully, and without overharvesting, they say, the damage to the climate can be offset. -“But opponents say achieving that sort of balance is almost impossible, and carbon-absorbing forests will ultimately be destroyed to feed a voracious biomass industry fueled inappropriately by clean-energy subsidies. They also argue that, like any incinerating operation, biomass plants generate all sorts of other pollution, including particulate matter. State and federal regulators are now puzzling over these arguments. -Erik Eckolm reported on Friday at The New York Times Online that, “The Obama administration has opened a broad campaign of enforcement against farmers who employ children and underpay workers, hiring hundreds of investigators and raising fines for labor and wage violators. -“But to make deep inroads, Congress would first have to change the law. A proposal to ban the hiring of 12- and 13-year-olds, cap working hours by 14- and 15-year-olds and keep teenagers out of hazardous jobs is gaining support in Congress. Some 91 representatives have co-sponsored the Care Act, put forth by Lucille Roybal-Allard, Democrat of California. -And Robert Rodriguez reported on Saturday at the Fresno Bee Online that, “Overtime pay after eight hours is the law for wage earners across California — except for those who do some of the hardest work, harvesting fruit and vegetables in the state’s fields and orchards. -“Now Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter, is trying to change that. -Jonathan Weisman reported on Friday at the Washington Wire Blog (The Wall Street Journal) that, “President Barack Obama’s meeting next Wednesday with senators to get energy legislation back on track will likely include discussing a climate change component that caps carbon emissions only from electric utilities, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said today in an interview. -Mr. Weisman added that, “Sen. Lamar Alexander (R, Tenn.), who has expressed some support for controlling utility carbon emissions, coupled with expanded nuclear power, is also expected to attend, along with Sens. Kerry, Lieberman, Jeff Bingaman (D, N.M.) and Richard Lugar (R, Ind.). -“‘The president’s view is for inviting a wide range of people who have ideas.’ Emanuel said. -Ben Geman reported yesterday at The Hill’s Energy Blog that, “Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Sunday that he sees 20 swing votes in play for including greenhouse gas limits in energy legislation that the White House and Senate Democratic leaders hope to advance this summer. -“Lieberman, appearing on CNN’s ‘State of the Union,’ [transcript] said there are 50 senators that want to put a price on emitting carbon, 30 against it and 20 members who are undecided. -“Murkowski instead touted bipartisan energy legislation that the Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved a year ago. It contains a suite of provisions to boost energy efficiency and alternative energy development but lacks carbon provisions,” The Hill update said. -The New York Times editorial board noted in today’s paper that, “To anyone watching the oil spew into the Gulf of Mexico, the argument for curbing this country’s appetite for fossil fuels could not be clearer. President Obama was right last week when he called on America to unify behind a ‘national mission’ to find alternative energy sources, sharply reduce its dependence on oil and cut its greenhouse gas emissions. -Scott Kilman repoted in today’s Wall Street Journal that, “Two years after the global food crisis peaked, grain shortages are turning into surpluses that could create their own problems. -“Some traders and economists are speculating that if the U.S. and world economies don’t heat up soon, surpluses could turn into price-depressing gluts. While cheap grain is good news for consumers and livestock producers, excessive supplies increase a government’s cost for farm subsidies and tend to ignite trade fights between the big farming powers. -The Journal article stated that, “With world grain production this year expected to exceed demand for a third consecutive year, many grain traders and farm economists are beginning to debate the prospects for two starkly different outlooks. -Abstract: In a recent contribution [Phys. Rev. B 81, 165104 (2010)] fermionic Projected Entangled-Pair States (PEPS) were used to approximate the ground state of free and interacting spinless fermion models, as well as the $t$-$J$ model. This paper revisits these three models in the presence of an additional next-nearest hopping amplitude in the Hamiltonian. First we explain how to account for next-nearest neighbor Hamiltonian terms in the context of fermionic PEPS algorithms based on simulating time evolution. Then we present benchmark calculations for the three models of fermions, and compare our results against analytical, mean-field, and variational Monte Carlo results, respectively. Consistent with previous computations restricted to nearest-neighbor Hamiltonians, we systematically obtain more accurate (or better converged) results for gapped phases than for gapless ones. -I'd like to see it return.

Six days through November tied for record- high temperatures. -However, Zierden cautioned, just because the average temperatures have been warmer doesn’t mean Florida won’t see cold snaps this winter. -Across the country, it’s been an above-average year for temperatures, the report from the National Centers for Environmental Information shows. -The year-to-date U.S. average temperature, 56.4 degrees, was the third warmest on record. That’s 2.61 degrees above the 20th century average, according to the NCEI. -The warmest year on record for the U.S. was 2012, when the average temperature through November was 57.04 degrees, NCEI archives show. -Spectrum Bay News 9 Meteorologist Josh Linker said average temperatures will likely remain above average at least through Christmas, but just by a couple of degrees each day. Temperatures, however, return to average for the last few days of the year. -Linker said December is currently averaging less than 1 degree above normal, due in part to a recent week of cooler weather. -The first South African surrogate babies - triplets at that - were born on 1 October 1987. The surrogate in this case was the 48-year-old mother of a young woman, who was unable to carry a child to term after removal of her uterus. The future of surrogate motherhood is still uncertain in most countries as very few legislatures have addressed the issue directly. Legal precedents are limited and common law principles do not provide adequate answers to the problems surrounding surrogate motherhood. For the purpose of this article, the de jure situation of surrogate motherhood in the United States of America, Britain and Australia will be examined as either their legislatures, or their courts, or both, have been active in this field. -The draft convention on the hotelkeeper's contract: an exercise in the unification of private law? -In spite of the fact that the Draft Convention on the Hotelkeeper's Contract is only a draft which has not yet been adopted by an international diplomatic conference, the period 1986-1988 has been earmarked for its adoption. After that, it will only be a matter of time before the Final Convention is adopted. South Africa will then have to decide whether or not to adopt the Convention as part of its law. In order to take the correct decision, the contents of the Draft ought by then to have been studied in order to determine whether they are compatible with South African law on this point and, if there are any deviations, whether these are fatal from a South African legal perspective. This modus operandi is consistent with state practice. States evaluate treaties and other international instruments by comparing them to related aspects in their own national systems. If this study in compatibility proves to be in their interest, they will accept these treaties as law either with some clearly indicated reservations or unreservedly. This article is a study on the compatibility between the Draft Convention and the South African law on this point. -The role of legal education in a changed South African society is going to be both important and multifaceted. The ingenuity of legal educators (and that of the legal profession as a whole) will be required to devise the fundamental restructuring of administrative units that change will entail. The burden shall be to actively challenge the notion that legal education is, or should be, aimed at producing persons destined solely for legal practice. The consequent increase in the demand for a legal education will place a great strain on the resources available to legal educators. The traditional mode of providing a legal education, may need re-examination, with perhaps a greater emphasis on distance teaching of law. Even in relation to our role as trainers of students destined for legal practice, we shall need to devise new approaches to legal education that will result in the production of well-rounded educated persons. Whatever the outcome, the experience of Papua New Guinea suggests that the resultant law reforming activity needs to be sustained. -The purpose of this article is to elucidate the meaning of the concept of "permanent sovereignty over wealth and natural resources" as formulated by the UN General Assembly resolutions. From the point of view of public international law, it is of interest to ascertain the legal status and effect of this concept. An attempt will be made to answer the question whether the concept of "permanent sovereignty over wealth and natural resources" means anything more than a reference to the sovereign state's right of nationalisation or expropriation of foreign property rights located within its territorial jurisdiction. -Today, the area of drugs and drug product liability is a complex, ever changing synthesis of medicine and the law. Drugs are now recognised as inherently dangerous with potential for causing harm. The majority of today's prescription drugs hardly existed twenty years ago. In this age of chemotherapy, masses of the population are vaccinated or innoculated against diseases, and few, if any, individuals, do not at some time or another make use of medical prescriptions. It is then only to be expected that courts will at one time or another be flooded with cases of alleged injuries suffered from the use of such drugs. Such an avalanche of litigation did occur in the United States of America, but did not materialise in Commonwealth jurisdictions.There appears to be no legal obligation on medical practitioners to report any adverse drug reactions, and the data on reported incidents must be considered incomplete. A number of reasons may be advanced for this lack of reporting. -Of the legal systems of the former three High Commission Territories in Southern Africa, that of Lesotho lies in between that of Swaziland with its strict dualism and that of Botswana which, though still dualist, shows overt signs of developing into a unified system. Of the three countries, Lesotho has by far the most involved set of internal conflict rules which, unlike the position in Botswana and Swaziland, have, for the most part, been formulated by the superior courts. On the other hand, of the three countries Lesotho has progressed farthest in the direction of a unified court structure. This is of the greatest importance as history elsewhere has shown that a unified judiciary leads towards unification of law. However, unification is not something which should, or indeed could, be forced upon the public. It is a long-term endeavour which depends for its successful outcome upon a carefully planned law reform programme which seeks community participation and support. -How customary is African customary law? -Doris and her late husband Buddy Williams co-founded Merrifield Garden Center in the spring of 1971 with their good friends and neighbors, Bob and Billie Jean Warhurst.

We certainly have and can't help ourselves from stocking the Shoppe with lots of colors and patterns of washi tape. -So, what is washi tape? Washi tape has its origins in Japan and refers to tapes made from Japanese rice paper. Over the past few years the term has expanded to include decorative paper tape that comes in a wide variety of manufacturers, widths, colors and patterns. -So , what can you do with washi tape? Washi tape can be used in a variety of ways - from the simple envelope embellishment on a birthday card to a friend to more complex mixed media projects. -Above are just a couple of the pins that we have on our "Wonderful Washi" Pinterest Board.

It is a trick movement that was first described by Dail (1951) when patients with poliomyelitis were observed to be gulping air into their lungs. It was this gulping action that gave the technique the name 'frog breathing'. -Glossopharyngeal breathing is a form of positive pressure ventilation produced by the patient's voluntary muscles where boluses of air are forced into the lungs. Paralyzed patients dependent on a mechanical ventilator may be able to use GPB continuously, other than during sleep, to substitute the mechanical ventilation. The most common use of GPB is in patients who are able to breathe spontaneously but whose power to cough and clear secretions is inadequate. The technique may enable these patients to shout to attract attention and it may help to maintain or improve lung and chest wall compliance (Dail et al 1955). -To breathe in, a series of pumping strokes is produced by action of the lips, tongue, soft palate, pharynx and larynx. Air is held in the chest by the larynx which acts as a valve as the mouth is opened for the next gulp. Before starting to teach a patient glossopharyngeal breathing it is helpful for him to inflate his chest using an intermittent positive pressure ventilator with a mouthpiece. He can practice holding the breath while removing the mouthpiece and avoiding escape of air through the larynx or nose. The most important step in learning GPB is the up and down movement of the cricoid cartilage while keeping the jaw still. The patient can practice by watching the movement in a mirror and feeling the cartilage with his fingers. -This sequence should be practised slowly at first and then gradually speeded up until the movement flows. A leak of air may occur through the nose and, until it is prevented by the soft palate, a nose dip may be required. -The next stage is to take a maximum breath in and, while holding this breath, to add several glossopharyngeal gulps, to augment the vital capacity. When correct, the patient will feel his chest filling with air, and the physiotherapist can test the 'GPB vital capacity' by putting a mouthpiece attached to the expiratory limb of a Wright's respirometer in the patient's mouth before he exhales. -The respirometer can be used to measure the volume per gulp; the patient will require less effort and reach his maximum capacity more quickly if he develops a bigger volume per gulp. A study by Kelleher & Parida (1957) reported a group of patients in whom the average volume per gulp varied from 25-120 ml, and when teaching GPB an attempt should be made to achieve at least 60 ml per gulp. When used for clearance of secretions, 10-20 gulps may be required to obtain a maximal vital capacity, but if GPB is being used continuously as a substitute for normal tidal breathing approximately 6-8 gulps may be taken before breathing out. -Glossopharyngeal breathing would normally be taught with the patient in a comfortable sitting position, but when mastered should be practiced in positions useful for the patient to clear his bronchial secretions. After filling his chest to capacity he signals to the physiotherapist who compresses his chest as he lets the air out The patient may have sufficient muscle power to apply compression himself or carers can be taught to give assistance. -GPB is learnt easily by some patients, but others need time and patience to acquire this skill and must be motivated to practise frequently during the learning period. It is a valuable technique to consider when treating tetraplegic or poliomyelitis patients with a vital capacity of less man 2 litres. Instruction can begin when the patient has reached a stable condition, but it is inappropriate in the acute phase or during an acute chest infection. When successfully learnt it is invaluable during a period of chest infection to assist in the clearance of secretions. For a patient with a chest infection nursed in a 'tank' ventilator ('iron lung'), assisted coughing (Higgens 1966) may be more effective if the patient uses GPB to augment the inspiratory volume received from the ventilator before chest compression is applied. -It is possible to teach Glossopharyngeal breathing to patients with an uncuffed tracheostomy tube, provided there is an effective seal round the tube to avoid air leaks. -Glossopharyngeal breathing should not be attempted in patients with neuromuscular disorders affecting swallowing, and, in patients with a progressive disorder, intermittent positive pressure breathing ( I P P B ) may be more appropriate than GPB. The technique is contraindicated in patients with airflow obstruction or pulmonary disease. -François Maltais "Glossopharyngeal-Breathing", American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Vol. 184, No. 3 (2011), pp. 381. -Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Respiratory Care.

I quickly cut out an avocado out of Dollar Tree cardboard paper and it was a success! Smiley won some toys and we got a growler for our fun last-minute costume. -You may have noticed the dog pictures on my Instagram, or read the two posts I wrote about our rescue Smiley – you may have even read the viral Dodo article about his rescue story! Our unexpected adoption (it only took two weeks of fostering to realize that Smiley belonged with us forever) changed all our plans. All those crazy Halloween parties we wanted to go to turned into us going to dog-friendly pub events, the dog parade and tonight we’ll be going to the big NYC Halloween Parade with Smiley in tow. -We ended up going to another last minute event, the Tompkins Square dog parade, so Smiley wore his same avocadog costume and got outshined by popes and other crazy intricate creative costumes! It was a lot of fun and we’re definitely going again next year with a better costume. Although most dogs wore hot dogs, delivery costumes and they rocked them, as a crafter I got inspired to do something a little more creative! -Tonight, the parade is mainly for people but Smiley will hopefully steal the show – as long as he actually wears the costume I made him and it doesn’t fall apart. Stay tuned for photos of tonights shenanigans. -Author olenakaguiPosted on October 31, 2018 Categories Animals and Pets, New YorkTags Avocadog, Halloween, Halloween parade, Halloween party, New York, Smiley, TompkinsLeave a comment on Happy Halloween: Smiley’s Dog Costumes! -Two days ago we sent a $300 adoption fee to Pound Hounds Res-Q, the place that pulled Smiley from Brooklyn’s high kill shelter, NYACC. We had originally planned on fostering Smiley, the cute 6 year old pit mix who was abandoned because his former owners got pregnant. We were in no position to get a dog – we don’t make enough money and live in a small apartment, but we couldn’t let Smiley die. -We ended up adopting Smiley after just two weeks of fostering, mostly because we fell in love with our foster boy and also because of Pound Hounds Res-Q. In addition to the fee, we also gave a small donation because of everything the rescue has done for us. Donating to rescues helps them save more dogs so I encourage everyone to do the same! -The amazing thing about fostering, is that it’s practically free and saves lives! Shelters such as the NYACC become overcrowded and put animals on the kill list very quickly. They barely get a chance to get adopted! If you foster a dog, a rescue will cover the vet bills and any necessary training. Then you help the dog get decompressed, preferably crate trained and then you help them find a new forever home. -Fostering is a great way to help animals without making a lifetime commitment, that many people can’t do. If we hadn’t ended up adopting Smiley, we would have likely kept fostering, because it has been so rewarding. Let me tell you a bit about it! -Smiley went from the NYACC to the vet to get neutered, then a special service was hired to bring him to us. We had never met him or even see him in real life! Smiley was friendly and curious but he wouldn’t look up at me or make eye contact. He also didn’t respond to commands, although we were told that he knew to sit, stay and come. -When I brought him inside, he explored the place, sniffing every corner and demanding to know what was behind every door. It took over an hour to get him to slow down and rest on his doggy bed. He lay there for a while until I tried to put his harness on for a walk. He wouldn’t let me put it on I’m and bared his teeth, so I backed off and let him sleep. A few hours later, after my husband came home, he let us put the harness on without any fuss. -On his first walk with us, he pulled like crazy, giving us rope burn. He was so strong and wouldn’t listen at all outside. We immediately ordered a front pulling harness, but got dragged around painfully for three whole days. We also watched some videos on how to get a dogs attention on walks and we tried to implement them, which only half worked. -The first evening while we watched TV, we saw him watching us from his bed. It was the first time he looked at us. Not surprising after being handed off from one person to another for ten days. He was scared and confused. -We crated him that first night as instructed by the rescue. People want to adopt crate trained dogs and we had to try our best although we didn’t like the idea of him being in a small cage. He barked a bit but quickly went to sleep. The next morning he woke up wagging his tail at us, it was progress! -The second day he acted like a spoiled child, pushing his boundaries. He would jump on the sofa, demand treats and he pulled me even harder outside. I may have had one or two breakdowns that day because I couldn’t connect with him. I couldn’t see anyone adopting a dog that was this crazy and I also didn’t know how long I could spend with him, but I didn’t want to disappoint him like humans have in the past. -That night he barked more in his crate at night, and I was stressed knowing that we would have to leave him alone for up to six hours the next day. Everyone reassured me that he would be okay, as long as he wore a cone – he was recently neutered and could rip his stitches. -When we came home after our trip, that we couldn’t cancel although we had wanted to, we found his cone out of shape and he was practically hanging by it because a piece got stuck in his crate. It was around his neck so tight that he coughed when I cut it off. He seemed fine otherwise and extra friendly, but I was traumatized by the experience. I was too scared of putting him back in the crate while he had his cone, so we let him sleep in our bedroom on his bed. -When he woke up that Sunday (we had gotten him in the afternoon on Thursday) he was a completely different dog. He was so calm at home, looked at us, asked us for pats and actually listened when we gave him commands. That day we took him to a beer festival because we didn’t want to leave him home alone. -We had been told that he shouldn’t be around other dogs or kids so we were extra careful. But he was calm around kids, accepting treats gently and he wagged his tail when he saw other dogs. We let him sniff a few and it seemed fine, we were starting to doubt everything that the kill shelter had said about him. We found a quiet spot at the chaotic festival and he sat with us, observing. People came over to meet him and he was so friendly and loving to everyone. No one believed that we had just rescued him. -The next day we had received a front clipping harness and the moment we put it on him, he stopped pulling on walks. He still got distracted outside but he was so much better at walking calmly. We let him sniff more dogs and discovered that he was super friendly but couldn’t tell between dogs that wanted to play or fight. -The following week he started to feel at home. We let him sit with us on the couch but still kept him out of bed. He behaved better every day. Except the one time he jumped on the bed when I screamed because I saw a spider – but that’s because I screamed and I assume that he was trying to protect me. -During the week we also let him play with some dogs while leashed. He seemed to get along with everyone, ignoring the dogs who were aggressive and he backed away when an angry cat jumped out at him. He was clearly a good gentle boy! -That second weekend we had him, we took him to an amazing day care Petbuddy Services for a trial day. We were nervous to see how he would get a long with other dogs but it went really well! After a day of playing with dogs, he was even calmer on walks and less jumpy when he met new dogs. -The day he spent at doggy daycare we went out, but came home before picking Smiley up. Our home felt so empty without him even though he had only been there for ten days! That’s when we decided that we’d be keeping him. But we wanted to wait in case there were any issues with our landlord, although those were unlikely. -On Wednesday we took him to the vet again, and even though the rescue knew we were 99% likely to adopt him, Pound Hounds Res-Q paid his bill. Later that evening, we officially paid his adoption fee and he became a part of our family. The next day, I let him play off leash with a bunch of friendly dogs at the park and he did so well, people didn’t believe me that he was a new rescue. -Since getting Smiley there has been more stress in my life – we need to figure out where he will be while we’re on holiday. We need to worry about him getting sick, hurting himself or feeling lonely when he’s alone at home. I also have a companion at home now, a smiling face that makes me happier and I can’t walk him down the street without him getting compliments left and right. Oh, he also gets me out of the house more and breathing that fresh New York air! I’ve even met a few local dog owners that are quickly becoming friends. -Of course I’m already worrying about Smiley dying one day, but that’s just how my brain works. He has already made my life so much better and more worthwhile. As much as I think that everyone should adopt a dog, or five, immediately, I understand that not everyone is int he position to do so. -Foster! If you can’t adopt. Donate to rescues, if you want to help but can’t foster. Dogs, and animals in general, bring so much happiness and unconditional love to our hectic lives. They deserve our help and love, they should all feel safe and happy – the same way they make us feel. Please consider donating to Pound Hounds Res-Q today, without them we wouldn’t have this beautiful dog as a part of our family! -We’ve been to Tonsai twice now – once in December and the second time in July. December was hot, dry, lively and exciting! In July it was dead, everything was closed, the weather was miserable! Tonsai is a great place that’s still pretty empty compared to Phi Phi Island and even neighboring beaches. -While it’s the perfect getaway during high (and dry) season, it’s really not enjoyable during the low (monsoon) season. Unless you enjoy being one of 10 tourists on a hard to get to spot with only two available restaurants that mainly serve fried food. If you come any other time, you can enjoy a long tail boat ride to the beach, a choice of many restaurants, food vendors and bars, there are lots of people hanging out on the beach or at the hostels but there are also thieving mischievous monkeys! -We’re Fostering a Dog Saved from the Kill Shelter! -Smiley was pulled from the NYACC by Pound Hounds Res-Q. We are considering adopting him ourselves because he’s such a good boy. The Dodo wrote about him a week ago with the hopes that his story will inspire others to adopt, foster and rescue dogs in need! -Author olenakaguiPosted on October 23, 2018 October 22, 2018 Categories Animals and Pets, New YorkTags dog saved, foster, fostering, kill shelter, Pound Hounds, Pound Hounds Resq, rescue, rescue dog, SmileyLeave a comment on We’re Fostering a Dog Saved from the Kill Shelter! -The second time we visited Thailand was the middle of July, which is right when monsoon season is wreaking havoc on the island and keeping all those selfie-taking tourists away – but clearly not all of them. -The first time we visited Thailand was during the dry winter months when it’s hot, overpopulated with tourists and low tied can ruin boat rides, kayaking and other water adventures. The second time we came in the middle of July, which is right when monsoon season is wreaking havoc on the island and keeping all those selfie-taking tourists away – but clearly not all of them. -A week before we arrived the famous case of football camp boys who were stuck in a flooded cave and a ferry had sunk, drowning many on board. We didn’t know about this when we booked and it was quite scary to be there. We got lucky and the weather ended up clearing up, but all ferry and boat rides were rough, scary and puke-inducing. -Puffballs of all sizes grow in the forest, alongside roads, in the middle of a green grassy lawn, they can really grow anywhere! You can stir fry them, cook them in the oven and my absolute favorite, is pretending they are pancakes! -It’s prime mushroom picking season but it’s quickly cooling down. You might be seeing mushrooms all around you, even in city parks and on the side of highways! There’s still some time to go out and forage before winter chases us indoors for Netflix, hot chocolate and hibernation. However, most mushrooms take a lot of experience to identify which can be scary and discouraging. -It is also extremely dangerous to eat anything that you’re not certain about. Although there are many YouTube videos and Facebook groups are not always a reliable way to be sure that you will be safe. Even after you read this article, go talk to experienced mushroom pickers, join a mycological society and always be overly careful. -It is not legal to pick mushrooms everywhere. Ask a police officer, park ranger or at the info center where you can pick them. If you go anywhere else, you risk getting a hefty fine. In NYC it can be up to $250! -Wild mushrooms are not like the ones you buy at the store. Some people might experience an allergy to a specific type even though they are not allergic to others. Some edible mushrooms have skins that certain people might react to with a stomach ache. Although I am lucky to be allergy free and tolerate everything I’ve tried so far, I’m aware that I might eat a perfectly good edible mushroom that might make me feel sick. -Let’s get down to business, there are mushrooms that are growing everywhere around New York right now and they happen to taste delicious! The giant puffball (tiny ones are good too) is really easy to identify, grows to be huge so it’s satisfying to find and it’s a great way to begin your mushroom picking lifestyle. -Puffballs come in round shapes and in various sizes. They don’t have any gills, or stems, they grow right out of the ground. The regular kind is small, round, white/grayish/yellowish with tiny bumps and they get dark and dry when they are ready to release their spores. When they are dry, you can stomp on them and they will puff out dark-colored spores, which is why they are called puffballs. -Giant puffballs don’t taste any better than small ones, arguably they taste worse. But one big puffball can feed a family of three for a day. They can grow to be larger than your head! In their prime they are pure white on the outside and inside. -If they are any there color, or have any markings, be cautious. -Unlike the hen-of-the-woods that I wrote about earlier this week, giant puffballs do have a very poisonous lookalike, but it’s extremely easy to differentiate them! Once you pick a puffball, cut it down the middle from top to bottom, an edible puffball will have firm purely white firm flesh without any markings. It should look like sliced mozzarella! -If the mushroom is off-white, it’s an edible kind that’s past it’s prime. Don’t eat it! There are several stages of a puffball going bad. First, the inside will get yellower but will remain firm. Then it’ll get wetter and darker, at this point the outside might be getting yellower too. Finally, it dries up and releases dark gray/black spores. -Even when a puffball is yellow, it’s technically not poisonous. The only type of puffball that is poisonous, is one with black lines that look like intricate designs. These will be on the outside and on the inside. These puffballs are very poisonous and should NOT be consumed. -Puffballs of all sizes grow in the forest, alongside roads, in the middle of a green grassy lawn, they can really grow anywhere! Just make sure to cut every single mushroom in half, and throw any puffball that isn’t pure white on the inside. The rule of thumb with mushrooms is, if there is any doubts, leave it behind. -If you thought that the hen-of-the-woods had many recipes, just wait until you bring home a haul of puffballs. You can stir fry them, cook them in the oven and my absolute favorite, is pretending they are pancakes! -All you need to do is cut 3/4 inch slices, fry them in the oven or on the pan with some coconut oil and cinnamon and serve with maple syrup. If you cook them long enough you can barely taste the difference – they are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Delicious. Here are some other recipes. -Just a quick reminder, some people don’t react well to the skin of puffball mushrooms (or any mushroom skins). Some mushrooms have tough skin that’s supposed to protect the mushroom from being eaten, this skin can be hard to digest and some people are more sensitive than others. -It’s very similar to the skin on certain nuts, if you’ve ever pooped out an intact almond, you know what I’m talking about. Personally, I eat the skin but please be aware that you might have a reaction to it! You can always start by eating a small piece with the skin on, wait a few hours and see how you feel. It can be scary to feel sick after eating a wild mushroom and not know why. -Do you have any stories to share about puffballs? What’s your record find (size or amount)? What’s your favorite recipe? Share your puffball stories with us in the comments below! -I find these mushrooms the most rewarding to pick, because even a small one is enough as a side dish to any meal and the bigger ones can feed an entire family! Every time I’ve looked for hens, I found at least one and usually had 2-4 kilos (4-9 pounds) in just 30 minutes of searching. Of course, you can also find a single mushroom that weighs 13+ kilos (30+ pounds). -Let’s get down to business, there are mushrooms that are growing everywhere around New York right now and they happen to taste delicious! The hen-of-the-woods (maitake) doesn’t have any poisonous look alikes, grows to be huge so it’s satisfying to find and it’s a great way to begin your mushroom picking lifestyle. -The hen-of-the-woods looks a little like the fluffy feathers of a hen, hence it’s name. Here are some photos of how they can look at different stages of growth. -Don’t confuse the hen-of-the-woods with the chicken-of-the-woods. Chickens can grow higher up on the tree, they are orange and they grow in layers. I have heard a lot about these mushrooms and I’m told they’re delicious, however I haven’t found any yet and I don’t know how to tell them apart from the many other orange mushrooms that grow on trees! Stick with hens at the beginning, you can’t go wrong with them and there are plenty to go around! -Hen-of-the-woods mushrooms typically grow on oak trees, so if you see acorns on the ground you’re in the right spot. If you look at the roots of an oak, you’ll notice that they have a clumpy shape with many little lumps which is very similar to the hen mushroom. From a distance, you might confuse a hen mushroom with some dried leaves. Always go check it out, and take a look around the entire tree. They tend to grow on bigger, wider oaks and there can be a several clusters of them around a single tree! -Hen-of-the-woods are either off-white, kind of beige/grayish or more brownish, especially around it’s rounded edges. They always grow in clumps, so from a distance you could confuse them with clustered mushrooms – remember that even though it looks like a cluster, it’s one big mushroom that spreads out and looks fluffy. If you cut it at the stem and you see many individual mushrooms, it’s not a hen. If you see any gills (pictured below) it is NOT a hen. -Hens are smooth, fluffy looking, single-stemmed mushrooms. -Remember, the picture above is NOT a hen-of-the-woods. It’s an example of gills, that hens do NOT have. -Sometimes, the hen-of-the-woods grows on trees other than oaks. If you want to be extra safe, you can stick to only eating the ones that you find on oak trees, although like I already said, there isn’t any dangerous look-a-like. Hens are very unique looking. -Don’t forget to bring some common sense with you to the forest. If there are too many bugs on the hen, if it looks dry or off-color, then it’s probably not good for eating. While most insects are pretty safe to eat if cooked correctly, you should stay away from unintentional entomophagy. Plus, insects can cause allergic reactions in people who are also allergic to shellfish. -Another common sense move is to avoid picking mushrooms in forests where there’s a mark on the tree, or a colorful rope tied around an area. These could mark a protected area, a sick tree, some sort of pest, pollution, disease, etc. If it looks questionable, don’t go there. -Same goes for roadside mushrooms. Think about the pollution that they are exposed to. Would you like some car exhaust with your mushrooms? I don’t think so. Don’t pick anything that looks unclean (not including natural forest dirt) or could be polluted. Similarly to road exhaust, some places could be using pesticides or other chemicals in the area. Although most of us are already exposed to them from the food we buy in supermarkets, the less chemicals we consume, the better. -When you find a hen and bring it home, watch a video on how to clean it correctly. It has many layers, the thick white stem isn’t as yummy as the rest of it so you want to cut that off and if possible, clean it outside or in a large tub to avoid clogging your drain with forest debris. If you see any holes, cut into them and remove any insects, spiders or slugs. -How do you cook a hen? -There are so many ways to cook these mushrooms! Chop them into tiny pieces and stir fry, with other veggies, or if you’re not vegetarian then maybe some meat, lard or eggs to make the perfect mushroomy omelette. -The nutritional value of hens varies depending on the website, but everyone agrees that they have very little fat or protein and lots of vitamin D. Some websites claim that they have very few carbs, others claim that they are 70% carbs. Almost everyone agrees that they are a healthy addition to a balanced diet! -I tend to use too much olive oil and caramelized onions to make a fatty, crispy, scrumptious meal but there are much healthier alternatives. You can cook them in the oven with coconut oil, you can steam them, boil them, grill them probably even air fry them. Whatever you chose to do, make sure to cook them well as they can be a bit chewy and hard on the stomach if you undercook hens, although this is true for mushrooms in general. You can find various recipes here. -If you didn’t manage to find any, or didn’t want to risk picking the wrong mushroom, you can still enjoy eating wild hen-of-the-woods. Check out your local farmers markets from August until November and I guarantee that you’ll find some hens – generally for $1 per pound! -Do you enjoy picking mushrooms?

My mac wouldn't turn on after spilling some wine on it a few days before. After I followed these steps and let the parts lay out to dry overnight (after cleaning everything with rubbing alcohol), I put it back together and it turned on!! Thank you a million times! -Double-sides sticky tape is very useful (to keep the screws together) on top of numbered post-it notes for the steps. -The shop wanted over $700 ($600 for parts, $90+ for labor) to fix it, which I definitely wasn't going to pay, so I decided to fix it myself. I spent right at $150 for a new logic board, magsafe board, and RAM upgrades and delved into the depths of the Macbook.

Hardwood floors are like laminated floors but different. Because the two terms are used interchangeably, it is important to know the pros and cons of both types of flooring so that you can choose what works best with you. If you want you to want to convert your hardwood floors into laminate wood flooring, know the following facts about both types of floor. -The bare surface of the wood is prime a core layer of melamine resin. The resin is what provides the hardwood a waterproof coating and shine. The fiberboard material is then applied to make faux wood texture to regain the touch of the wood which has been shadowed by the use of resin. -The laminate hardwood flooring is apparently different from that of untreated hardwood. The shine isn’t there in the raw wood, the texture is incredibly obvious and the wood grain is tremendously abundant whereas laminated floor offers a glass-like feel and finish. The untreated wood can never offer similarity; if you are fond of different textures and colors, you can go with the Harwood. When no tint or staining has been applied to the surface of the wood, the original color is what it all has, and since every plank is of different color and texture, the floors made with unprocessed wood are unique in designs. -However, when you are required to lay a wooden floor to a defined area, you must know that it is essential to maintain uniformity so that the house is alike. You can’t place wood of all colors and hues to the entire house, it is essential to have at least a few pieces of matching color to form a theme and design. -The processed wooden floors are treated with either a tint or stain because of which the color throughout the floor appears the same. Since a layer of melamine resin and aluminum oxide is added on the top of the wood, the laminated floors are harder. The resin doesn’t only provide the shine it forms a strong surface above the wood, because of these coating the hardwood becomes more durable. -The wood becomes water resistant after a good coat of lamination. This fact that the moisture can’t penetrate the material makes the floor stronger. You will not incur any moisture damage if the surface is layered with good lamination. Since the wood is a porous an alive substance, the water finds its way in through the pores residing in the substance. Wet or moist woods are prone to the damage a lot like rot and mold. -The laminated wood flooring is very hard to repair. Once the damage occurs the plank can be removed but even after a careful repair, the replaced planks will show out because of the difference in the application of the resin. When you are laminating a whole floor, you can get an even coat and smooth application of the product all along, but while laminating only a board, it is difficult to match the color with the rest of the floor. The amount of aluminum oxide applied on the surface is the factor which is responsible to reflect light and if it is not applied in an effective way, the color of the boards will appear different. -Hardwood is easy to maintain. You can clean the surface with a mop or a damp sponge, soap solutions and regular cleaners but with the finished or treated woods, you can’t do that. Regular cleaners can damage the shine of the wood and may permanently eliminate the sparkle. The surface should be protected from the scratches because polished wood makes the notches visible a little more. -Author Bio:Emily is a content writer who loves to produce creative and informative content for people of all nature. In addition, he is also interest in Laminate Wood flooring writings to provide tips and tricks in the form of good articles. -Previous Article How Social Media Can Help HR Achieve Organizational Goals? -Gingerbread and scones are two of those things that really get overlooked. I mean, I’ll be the first person to admit that I’ve never been a scone person. I know they make a great on-the-go breakfast for busy days, but I always thought they would taste a little bit dry and boring. Then, I made these Gingerbread Scones for a holiday-themed brunch and I was blown away. I couldn’t have been more wrong! These delightful breakfast pastries are light, soft, and tender. Not to mention that they’re full of festive flavor, thanks to the molasses and gingerbread spices. -You can also feel pretty good about eating these tasty treats. We were able to make them without adding any processed sugar, but they taste sweet and satisfying just like your favorite coffee shop treats. Even with swapping in some healthy ingredients (like Greek yogurt, skim milk, and coconut sugar) these pastries bake up with a crisp exterior and a moist, tender crumb inside. And they’re perfectly portion-sized, too. That’s always a good thing for me around the holidays when I need to control my sweet-tooth cravings. -Like I said, gingerbread often gets overlooked this time of year, thanks to the more-popular flavors of Pumpkin Spice Lattes and pecan pie. People still make gingerbread houses for Christmas, but I don’t think a lot of people are baking up the flavors of gingerbread – which is a shame! It’s time for us to change that by making these Gingerbread Scones for our friends and family. They’ll be hooked after the first bite, just like me. -Originally, people made gingerbread as a way to preserve ginger during Medieval European times. To make the cakes sweeter and more edible, people started heavily flavoring the cakes with molasses. This dark, sticky substance gives a rich and slightly smoky flavor to the cake, along with a punch of nutrition. Blackstrap molasses is full of vitamins and minerals, too, like iron, vitamin B6, selenium, and magnesium. These days, it’s also a popular sweetener for those with diabetes because it helps stabilize blood sugar! -Eventually, gingerbread cakes turned into cookies, muffins, pies, and more. They’re most commonly found as crackers to build gingerbread houses during the holidays, but a recent surge in gingerbread-flavored products is making the spicy cake trendy again. We’re pretty happy about that, especially after eating these Gingerbread Scones. -Almost all good scones are topped with a sugary glaze. It’s usually sinfully sweet because it’s little more than powdered sugar and milk. We wanted to capture the spirit of the glaze without putting anyone into a diabetic shock. Luckily, Greek yogurt makes a perfect substitute! -By the time you whip the tangy yogurt together with the maple syrup and vanilla extract, it will be completely transformed. No one will know it used to be yogurt. If you have a hard time finding plain Greek yogurt, feel free to swap-in one of the flavored varieties. Try to find neutral flavors that will go well with the Gingerbread Scone, though, like vanilla, honey, or coconut flavors. -In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Note: add 2 cups floor, then add a little at a time until it makes a cookie dough like consistency. -Grate the butter on a box grater and mix it into the flour with your hands until the mixture resembles lumpy, wet sand. -Gently mix in the molasses, 1/2 cup of the yogurt, and milk. Once the mixture comes together, turn out the dough onto a floured work surface and gently knead it using your hands until a dough comes together. -Form the dough into a large circle about 1-inch deep. Cut the circle into 8 equal slices. -Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until lightly browned on the outside. A toothpick inserted into the center of the scone should come out clean. -Meanwhile, make the drizzle by whisking together the remaining tablespoon of Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag. -Allow the scones to cool for 10 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the scones. -Whether you’re looking for healthy holiday recipes or something for everyday eating, we have a recipe for you!

I found this brand for all-purpose, gluten-free flour on amazon. -I agree that "well-educated" carries the connotation that you suggest, and I too see no good reason why an engineer with a university degree shouldn't be able to write competently. I would add that it is dangerous to omit humanities from any university curriculum, and I share some of your distain for contemporary education, in which people can earn degrees in subjects that have little content in themselves, such as "education," or in which the content is highly limited and, therefore, of dubious value, such as in "ethnic studies." Anyone who graduates with a university degree should be able to write competently. On the other hand, I prefer the European model in which not everyone is expected to go to university and in which trade schools play a much greater role. -I wonder if Technical Writing should be a university degree or trade school certificate.

Amy and I met largely because of the book club she held in her living room full of women eager to learn more of Mason, her methods, and how to better implement them in our homes. She also began a co-op out of her home which grew and grew until it became, and still is, a school for children K-12. After moving, she has begun a new co-op and still sits on the board at the school she began, though the running of the day to day operations is now in the hands of another amazing mother and teacher of Charlotte’s method. In addition to books clubs, co-ops, and a school, Amy has also begun a Nature Club or two, muti-day summer intensives for mothers, field trips, and so many other ways that have helped moms and their children thrive not only in their homes, but within a community of learning. -If you are a reader who is clicking over after listening to the podcast, we welcome you to our little corner of the internet. We are homeschooling mothers who have used the CM method for many years and in many different situations – at home, in school, overseas, and in multiple regions within the USA. To hear more of our stories, click here. We like to write about how using the CM method has changed our whole lives, and not just our homeschools, so while we certainly write about nature, and books, and habits, you’ll also see us chatting about homemaking, mother culture, and organizing our days. -If you are a long time reader, we invite you to head over to hear Amy speaking today on the podcast! We’d love to hear about communities you’ve started or questions you have about starting communities in the comments or via email. -Welcome to the first room in our series, the Kitchen. Let’s start here, as this is both the heart of the home and where much work of the mother occurs. Before we dive into cleaning, simplifying, and making our kitchen beautiful, it would make sense to think about what we need our kitchens to be. If we think of our rooms as servants to the people who use them, how can your kitchen better serve your family? -Think through the annoying spots. That counter that is just NEVER clear, that drawer that doesn’t even open all the way and you have no idea what is back there, the cabinet where all the storage containers are in a jumble or the pots are jammed in… You all know what your least favorite spots are. Write them down. If you use one, this would be a great page in your bullet journal. Write down all the things that make your kitchen inefficient or unpleasant right now. Some of these we can work on this month and it will be so nice to look at this list after the problems are solved! -Related to this is also the idea of where do your processes have a bottleneck? Is one part of the kitchen where people are bumping into one another as they cook while no one ever seems to be in another spot? Maybe some rearranging is in order. We’ll discuss work zones later in the series, but it might be a good time to start thinking about yours and how you can arrange the things in your kitchen to accommodate the people who use them. In my home, I’d like my kids to unload the dishwasher with less help from me, but that means it would be nice if all the bowls and glassware weren’t on shelves they cannot reach. Perhaps moving the coffee maker and mugs away from the main cooking area to prevent morning traffic jams would help you, or creating a space where kids can help prep veggies without being too close to a hot oven is your need. Write down all your thoughts and possible solutions. Brainstorm here for a while because sometimes a very small change can have a big impact. -When the cooking is through, is it easy to clean? Do you have a system for getting the dishes cleaned quickly after each meal and the counter cleared as well? Is the floor swept and the table wiped so that if a guest were to drop in, you could bring them gladly into your kitchen for a cup of tea or coffee? Do you have a schedule for cleaning out those things that are not everyday tasks – the oven, the microwave, the refrigerator? Cutting time off of your cleaning means you can use it elsewhere so we’ll focus on this aspect of the kitchen too. Until then, write down a list of things that don’t get done as often as you like, and another list of all the people in the home who are able to do those tasks. Caring for the home is a family affair, not yours alone. -Switching gears, what do you love about your kitchen? Maybe you appreciate the ample cabinet space, or you love an apron that was passed down from your grandmother. Big or small, make a list of things that are great about your space. Good light? Charming woodwork? A lovely piece of art hanging on the wall? We’ll figure out a way to highlight these later and hopefully make the list even longer. -Lastly, I like to remember that when we make our space the best it can be, then it is up to us to improve our attitudes toward the space as well. I like to think of the fact that there are women who blog daily recipes and write cookbooks out of tiny kitchens. Ma Ingalls had no cabinets or refrigerator and she raised five children and cooked delicious meals. You need not live in or pine for some imaginary dream kitchen when the one you have now is where your life is being lived day by day. Amazing meals happen in awkward spaces and amazing memories are made in humble kitchens. Celebrate the space you have now, and let’s make it as pleasant as possible. -TQC Machu Scratching Tool to perform a Machu test (corrosion test) with.

We would certainly recommend Hope & Stay to any newly engaged couples!" -"From day one, it was like working with a close friend, and Alyssa is also very professional, on top of her game, and a great communicator. I can't even find words good enough to express how perfect our experience has been. We will definitely continue to use Hope & Stay in the years to come for those landmark moments. " -Hongdae is named after the area around Hongik University and that tells me everything I need to know: this is college town central. -More alive at night than in the day, it’s teeming with cafés (look for Sangsu-dong Café Street), and clubs (on which there are many on the so-named Club Street). -Plenty of street art to be found here because Hongdae is the hub of all things indy and expressing one’s individuality. -It seems strange at first, admittedly, the idea of eating ribs with cheese; but once I try it, I wonder why it took me so long. At popular James Cheese & Back Ribs, they take this idea and run with it to great success. -We have two orders of ribs and kimchi rice. The table is set up with a portable burner on which a cast-iron platter is placed. Even uncooked, it mesmerizes, the half-cooked ribs’ sticky, ochre coating glistens and the shreds of mozzarella wait expectantly. -The restaurant is small but supremely hip as you can see in the photo’s background. Our bleached blond server makes quick work of the mozzarella – mixing, lifting, and stretching it out until it’s one stretchy, mouthwatering mass. -The scissors provided are helpful in ways that a knife never will be. We wrap strips of mozzarella around each rib, a mouthful makes for a most scintillating encounter; appetites stoked by the sight of soft meat, melting cheese. The corn and omelet side dishes are added curiosities that are equally delicious. -My Bin and I eat, enraptured. -When there’s nothing left of the meat, the server returns with a bowl of kimchi rice. Whatever is left of the cheese is mixed with it, and an egg is tossed in to further flavor and lubricate the fiery mess. Too good. -Gangnam is gargantuan and jam-packed. A frenetic energy pervades, and the city girl in me is giddy. It’s remarkable how visiting a foreign city again cements its place in my heart. -The big buildings beckon, beacons of commerce and wealth. Somewhere in my head, I hear Psy singing the soundtrack to this “Opa Gangnam style!” lifestyle. -Gangnam nightlife. Ahhh, where shall we eat tonight? -My obligatory intersection shot showcasing a street pulsing with people. -Sometimes we feel the need to escape from the frenzy on the surface so we duck down below to the underground shopping center at Gangnam station. Oddly, it’s as fevered and wild down here as it is up there. So we go with the flow, and what else: shop. -One of our new discoveries on this trip is Yoogane, a restaurant specializing in dak galbi. Essentially a stir-fried dish of diced chicken in a gochujang-based sauce, lots of fun ingredients are tossed in for variation and customization. -A massive metal cover surrounds the hot plate to avoid splatters. In goes the scallions, onions, gochujang, and my beloved tteok (rice cakes). -Garlic, rice, and seaweed join the stir-fry party. -Mix! (say three times, fast). -As my Bin and I learn from our meal at James Cheese & Back Ribs, there’s very little that can’t be improved with more mozzarella. -… flips the mixture over: voila! Melted cheese rice! My Bin and I descend upon the dish, our greed feeding our hunger brought on by hours spent exploring Gangnam. Much a melding of soft (rice, tteok, cheese, minced chicken), there’s a current of spice running throughout that satisfies and makes us want more… until there’s nothing left except some crisp crumbs clinging to the pan. -They say that Hongdae is where all the student-artists hang out but Samcheongdong is where all the successful ones end up. The proliferation of art galleries attests to this but the area is so peaceful and genteel. I highly recommend coming here if you want a few hours of quiet exploration. There are boutiques and cafés aplenty. -Nearby is the Bukchon Hanok Village where 900 hanok are situated. Traditional Korean homes with tiled roofs and varied wall patterns, passing through this area harks back to a more tranquil time. It’s an unexpected pleasure to get lost here. -…before you walk down again. -In the midst of the hanok village is a place serving tea and for me, my favorite hot red bean porridge. As my Bin and I sip and savor, time seems to stand still. Our trip is coming to an end and we can’t help but marvel at how we’ve fallen in love with Seoul. Again. -A final meal of bulgogi and assorted other Korean barbeques before we head off to the airport. -From the Hongik University stop, leave the station from Exit 7 and turn right.

Sleeping aids are medical specialty or subspecialty devoted to the diagnosis and therapy of sleep disturbances and disorders which are caused due to factors such as psychiatric disorders (Depression, insomnia and anxiety), medical issues (asthma), environmental problems (light, noise, temperature etc.) and others. These sleep disorders lead to number of chronic diseases, such as high diabetes, arthritis, blood pressure, and stroke. So, people are now aware of these disorders and trying to treat and diagnose these disorders at an early stage as soon as possible. -Rise in demand for sleeping pills, changing consumer lifestyle, increase in geriatric and obese population, and increasing disposable income are the factors propelling the growth of the global sleeping aids market. Rising awareness about sleeping disorders and advanced technologies might provide with several growth opportunities in the forecasted year. However, various side effects of sleep aids medication and patent expiration may hinder the growth of the market. -The global sleeping aids market is segmented on basis of product and sleep disorder. The sleeping aids market is segmented by product as mattresses and pillows, sleep laboratories, medication (prescription based drugs, herbal drugs, OTC drugs), sleep apnea devices and others. Further, the market is segmented by sleep disorder as insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy, sleep walking, and other sleep disorders. -Based on geography, global sleeping aids market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Rest of the World (RoW) North America is further bifurcated in U.S., Canada, and Mexico whereas Europe segment consist of UK, Germany, France, Italy, and others. Asia-Pacific is segmented into India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others while RoW is bifurcated into South America, Middle East, and Africa. -Major companies operating in the global Sleeping Aids market are Natus Medical Incorporated, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, Merck And Co., Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline Plc., Serta International, CareFusion Corporation, Pfizer, and Compumedics Limited, among others. -Profile of the major key players operating in the Global Sleeping Aids Market will be provided, with detailed study on their key financials, product & services, new developments and business strategies. -The day is drawing near when the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church will celebrate the fourth centenary of the union between the Bishops of the Metropolia of Kievan Rus' and the Apostolic See. The union was effected at the meeting of representatives of the Metropolia of Kiev with the Pope on 23 December 1595 and was solemnly proclaimed at Brest-Litovsk on the River Bug on 16 October 1596. Pope Clement VIII, in the Apostolic Constitution Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis,1 announced the union to the whole Church and in the Apostolic Letter Benedictus sit Pastor2 he addressed the Bishops of the Metropolia, informing them that the union had taken place. -The Union of Brest opened a new page in the history of the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine.4 Today that Church wishes to sing with joy a hymn of thanksgiving and praise to the One who, once more, has brought it back from death to life, and it wishes to set forth with renewed enthusiasm on the path marked out by the Second Vatican Council. -Joining the faithful of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in this thanksgiving and petition are the Greek Catholic Churches of the diaspora which date back to the Union of Brest, together with the other Eastern Catholic Churches and the entire Church. -As the Bishop of Rome, I too wish to unite myself to the Catholics of the Byzantine tradition in those lands. For many years, during my pastoral ministry in Poland, I sensed a physical as well as a spiritual closeness with that Church, which was then undergoing such difficult trials. After my election to the See of Peter, I considered it a pressing duty, following the example of my Predecessors, to speak out in defence of its right to exist and freely to profess its faith, at a time when both these rights were being denied. I now have the privilege of joyfully sharing in its celebration of these days of regained freedom. -2. The celebrations commemorating the Union of Brest must be seen in the context of the Millennium of the Baptism of the Rus'. Seven years ago, in 1988, that event was celebrated with great solemnity. For the occasion I published two documents: the Apostolic Letter Euntes in mundum of 25 January 1988,5 for the whole Church, and the Message Magnum Baptismi donum, of 14 February of the same year,6 addressed to Ukrainian Catholics. It was an occasion for celebrating a moment of fundamental importance for the Christian and cultural identity of those peoples, a moment of unique significance, since at that time the Churches of the Byzantine tradition and the Church of Rome were still living in full communion. -After the division which damaged the unity between the West and the Byzantine East, frequent and intense efforts were made to restore full communion. I wish to mention two particularly significant events: the Second Council of Lyons in 1274, and above all the Council of Florence in 1439, when protocols of union with the Eastern Churches were signed. Unfortunately, various causes prevented the promise and potential of those agreements from being realized. -The Bishops of the Metropolia of Kiev, in restoring communion with Rome, made explicit reference to the decisions of the Council of Florence, a Council which had numbered among its participants representatives from the Patriarchate of Constantinople. -In this context, the figure of Metropolitan Isidore of Kiev stands out. As a faithful interpreter and defender of the decisions of that Council, he had to endure exile for his convictions. -The Bishops who promoted the union and the members of their Church retained a lively awareness of their original close ties to their Orthodox brethren, together with a full consciousness of the Oriental identity of their Metropolia, an identity which was also to be upheld after the union. In the history of the Catholic Church, it is a highly significant fact that this just desire was respected and that the act of union did not involve passing over to the Latin tradition, as some thought would happen. Their Church saw an acknowledgment of its right to be governed by its own hierarchy with a specific discipline and to maintain its Eastern liturgical and spiritual heritage. -3. After the union, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church enjoyed a period in which its ecclesiastical structures flourished, with resulting benefits for religious life, the education of the clergy and the spiritual commitment of the faithful. With remarkable farsightedness, great importance was attached to education. Thanks to the valuable contribution of the Basilian Order and other Religious Congregations, there was a great growth in the study of the sacred sciences and the nation's culture. In the present century, a figure of extraordinary prestige, in this regard as well as in his witness of suffering borne for Christ, was Metropolitan Andrii Sheptyckyi, whose education and fine spiritual qualities were combined with outstanding organizational gifts. He founded schools and academies, supported theological studies and the human sciences, the press and sacred art, and sought to preserve historical memories. -And yet, all this ecclesial vitality was continually marked by the tragedy of misunderstanding and opposition. An illustrious victim in this regard was the Archbishop of Polock and Vitebsk, Josaphat Kuntsevych, whose martyrdom merited the unfading crown of eternal glory. His body now lies in the Vatican Basilica, where it is continuously venerated with devotion and gratitude by Catholics from throughout the world. -Outstanding among the heroic witnesses to the rights not only of the faith but also of human conscience in those difficult years is the figure of Metropolitan Josyf Slipyj: his courage in enduring exile and prison for 18 years and his indomitable confidence in the resurrection of his Church make him one of the most powerful figures among the confessors of the faith in our time. Nor should his many companions in punishment be forgotten, particularly Bishops Hryhory Khomyshyn and Josaphat Kocylowskyj. -These tempestuous events shook the Church in the homeland to its roots. But Divine Providence had already begun to make it possible for many of its members to find a way of escape for themselves and their people. From the beginning of the 19th century onwards, great waves of emigrants began to cross the ocean, settling above all in Canada, the United States of America, Brazil, Argentina and Australia. The Holy See took care to be close to them, by providing assistance and establishing pastoral structures for them in their new homes, including the establishment of their own Eparchies. At the time of trial, during the atheistic persecution in their native land, the voice of these believers could thus be raised, in full freedom, with strength and courage. In the international forum they defended the right of their persecuted brethren to religious freedom, and thus strengthened the Second Vatican Council's appeal for religious freedom,8 and the efforts made in this regard by the Holy See. -4. The whole Catholic Community recalls with deep emotion the victims of such great suffering: the martyrs and confessors of the faith of the Church in Ukraine offer us a magnificent lesson in fidelity even at the price of life itself. And we, the favoured witnesses of their sacrifice, are aware that they helped to maintain the dignity of a world which seemed overwhelmed by atrocities. They knew the truth, and the truth set them free. Christians in Europe and throughout the world, pausing in prayer before the concentration camps and prisons, should be grateful for the light which they gave: it was the light of Christ, which they caused to shine in the darkness. For long years the darkness seemed in the eyes of the world to prevail, but it was not able to extinguish that light, which was the light of God and the light of man, wounded but not laid low. -This inheritance of suffering and glory today stands at a historic crossroads: now that the chains of imprisonment have been broken, the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine has begun again to breathe in freedom and to regain fully its own active role in the Church and in history. This task, difficult yet providential, today calls for particular reflection, that it may be carried out with wisdom and farsightedness. -5. The celebration of the Union of Brest should be lived and interpreted in the light of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. This is perhaps the most important aspect for understanding the significance of the anniversary. -It is well known that the Second Vatican Council made a special point of studying the mystery of the Church, and that one of the most important documents which it produced was the Constitution Lumen gentium. Precisely because of this detailed study the Council takes on a particular ecumenical significance. This is confirmed by the Decree Unitatis redintegratio, which presents a very enlightened programme of activities to be carried out in the work for Christian unity. Thirty years after the conclusion of the Council, I wished to reiterate this programme with my Encyclical Letter Ut unum sint, published on 25 May of this year.9 This Encyclical traces the ecumenical progress which has been made since the Second Vatican Council and, at the same time, looking to the third millennium of the Christian era, it seeks to open up new possibilities for the future. -Putting the celebrations of the coming year in the context of a reflection on the Church, as proposed by the Council, I am anxious above all to encourage a deeper understanding of the proper role which the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is called to play today in the ecumenical movement. -To promote dialogue with the Byzantine Orthodox Churches, there was set up, after the Second Vatican Council, a special Mixed Commission which also included among its members representatives of the Eastern Catholic Churches. -In various documents efforts have been made to arrive at a deeper and greater understanding between the Orthodox Churches and the Eastern Catholic Churches, efforts which have not been without positive results. In my Apostolic Letter Orientale lumen11 and in my Encyclical Letter Ut unum sint12 I have already written of the elements of sanctification and truth13 common to Eastern and Western Christianity, and of the desirable path to follow in the search for full communion between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches, in the light of the greater ecclesiological understanding brought about by the Second Vatican Council: "Today we know that unity can be achieved through the love of God only if the Churches want it together, in full respect for the traditions of each and for necessary autonomy. We know that this can take place only on the basis of the love of Churches which feel increasingly called to manifest the one Church of Christ, born from one Baptism and from one Eucharist, and which want to be sisters".14 The deepening of knowledge of the doctrine on the Church, brought about by the Council and continuing since the Council, has marked out what can be called a new path on the journey to unity: the path of the dialogue of truth nourished and sustained by the dialogue of charity (cf. Eph 4: 15). -7. The shift from an underground existence has meant a radical change in the situation of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church: this Church has found itself facing the grave problems of rebuilding the structures of which it had been completely deprived and, more generally, it has had to commit itself to rediscovering itself fully, not only from within, but also in relation to the other Churches. -Thanks be to God for having enabled it to celebrate this jubilee with religious freedom regained. Thanks be to God also for the growth of the dialogue of charity, whereby significant progress has been made on the road to the much desired reconciliation with the Orthodox Churches. -Numerous migrations and deportations have redrawn the religious geography of those lands; many years of official State atheism have profoundly affected people's minds; there is still not enough clergy to respond to the immense needs of religious and moral reconstruction: these are some of the more dramatic challenges facing all of the Churches. -In the face of these difficulties a common witness of charity is required, in order that the proclamation of the Gospel may not be impeded. As I said in my Apostolic Letter Orientale lumen, "today we can co-operate in proclaiming the Kingdom or we can become the upholders of new divisions".15 May the Lord guide our feet into the way of peace. -8. In the new-found freedom we cannot forget the persecution and martyrdom which the Churches of that region, both Catholic and Orthodox, suffered in their own flesh. This is an important aspect for the Church of all times, as I recalled in my Apostolic Letter Tertio millennio adveniente.16 It concerns a particularly significant heritage of the Churches of Europe, which remain profoundly marked by it: this needs to be studied in the light of the Word of God. -Remembrance of the martyrs cannot be erased from the memory of the Church or of humanity: whether victims of the ideologies of the East or of the West, all of them are brought together in fellowship by the violence whereby hatred for the faith violated the dignity of the human person, created by God "in his image and likeness". -Pope John XXIII was fond of repeating: "What unites us is much greater than what divides us". I am convinced that this attitude can be a great benefit to all the Churches. More than 30 years have gone by since the Pope made this statement. In this period of time there have been many indications which suggest to us that Christians have made progress in this direction. Eloquent signs of this progress have been the fraternal meetings between Pope Paul VI and the Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I, and those which I myself have had with the Ecumenical Patriarchs Dimitrios and, more recently, Bartholomaios, and with other venerable Patriarchs of the Churches of the East. All this, together with the many initiatives involving meetings and dialogue which are being promoted everywhere in the Church, encourages us to have hope: the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of unity, does not cease to work among Christians still separated from one another. -And yet human weakness and sin continue to resist the Spirit of unity. Sometimes one even has the impression that there are forces ready to do almost anything in order to slow down, and even put an end to, the movement towards Christian unity. But we cannot give in: daily we must find the courage and strength, which at one and the same time are the gift of the Spirit and the result of human effort, to continue on the path already undertaken. -10. In recalling the Union of Brest we must ask ourselves what this event means today. It was a union which concerned only a particular geographical region, but it is relevant for the entire field of ecumenism. The Eastern Catholic Churches can make a very important contribution to ecumenism. The Council's Decree Orientalium Ecclesiarum reminds us that "the Eastern Churches in communion with the Apostolic See of Rome have a special role to play in promoting the unity of all Christians, particularly Easterners, according to the principles of this sacred Synod's Decree on Ecumenism: first of all by prayer, then by the example of their lives, by religious fidelity to ancient Eastern traditions, by greater mutual knowledge, by collaboration, and by a brotherly regard for objects and attitudes".20 From this it follows that Eastern Catholics are to commit themselves to living profoundly what the Decree lays out. They are asked to make a confession of faith full of humility and gratitude to the Holy Spirit, who guides the Church towards the fulfilment promised her by the Redeemer of the world. -11. Prayer will therefore be the fundamental element which should mark the celebration of this jubilee. Such prayer above all involves giving thanks for all that has been accomplished, down the centuries, by commitment to the Church's unity, and especially for the impulse given to the search for unity as a result of the Second Vatican Council. -This prayer is one of thanksgiving to the Lord, who guides the unfolding of history, for the situation of new-found religious freedom in which this jubilee is being celebrated. It is also an appeal to the Spirit-Paraclete, that he may cause to flourish everything which promotes unity, and may give courage and strength to all those who commit themselves, according to the guidelines of the Council's Decree Unitatis redintegratio, to this work blessed by God. It is a plea for the gift of brotherly love, and for the forgiveness of offences and injustices suffered in the course of history. It is a petition that the power of the living God will bring good even out of the cruel and many-faceted evil caused by acts of human malice. This prayer also expresses hope for the future of the ecumenical journey: the power of God is greater than all human weaknesses, whether old or new. If this jubilee of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, on the threshold of the third millennium, marks a step forward towards full Christian unity, this result will be first of all the work of the Holy Spirit. -12. The jubilee celebrations should also be a time of reflection. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church must first of all ask itself what full communion with the Apostolic See meant for it in the past, and what it will mean for it in the future. In a spirit of humble thanksgiving, the Greek Catholic Church will give glory to God, for its heroic fidelity to the Successor of Peter and, under the action of the Holy Spirit, it will understand that today this same fidelity commits it to fostering the unity of all the Churches. This fidelity cost it sufferings and martyrdom in the past: this is a sacrifice offered to God in order to implore the hoped-for union. -13. We cannot fail to entrust the yearning for full Christian unity to the Mother of Christ, she who is ever present in the work of the Lord and of his Church. Chapter Eight of the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium points to her as the one who goes before us on our earthly pilgrimage of faith and is tenderly present to the Church which, at the end of the second millennium, is working to re-establish among all those who believe in Christ that unity which the Lord wills for them. Because she is the Mother of the one Christ, she is the Mother of unity. Since Mary, by the power of the Holy Spirit, gave birth to the Son of God, who received from her his human body, she ardently wills the visible unity of all believers who make up the Mystical Body of Christ. The veneration of Mary, which unites East and West so intimately, will serve, I am convinced, the cause of unity. -The Most Holy Virgin, already present everywhere in our midst both in so many sacred buildings and in the life of faith of so many families continuously speaks of unity, a unity for which she constantly intercedes. If today, in commemorating the Union of Brest, we recall the marvellous wealth of veneration that the Christian people of the Ukraine have offered to the Mother of God, we cannot but draw from this admiration for the history, spirituality and prayer of those peoples the consequences for unity which are so closely linked to those treasures. -Mary, who has inspired in their trials fathers and mothers, young people, the sick and the aged; Mary, the column of fire capable of guiding so many martyrs of the faith, is certainly at work in preparing the hoped-for union of all Christians: in the light of this, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church certainly has its own role to play. -To Mary the Church offers her thanks and asks her to make us share her concern for unity. With filial trust let us abandon ourselves to her, that we may be with her where God will be all in all. -To you, dear Brothers and Sisters, I impart my Apostolic Blessing. -From the Vatican, on 12 November, Memorial of Saint Josaphat, in the year 1995, the eighteenth of my Pontificate. -1) Cf.

The faster a company is able to form shared views and rate ideas, the faster it can react and adapt to changes. As complexity increases, reaching decisions typically requires the input of various experts, which makes the decision making process slower. How to break bottle necks in decision making? -How to make decisions both collectively and as efficiently as possible? According to Juho Nevalainen, forming shared views becomes more efficient by using facilitation methods, by including only relevant people in the decision making process – and by rethinking the whole decision making forum, with the help of digital tools. -1. Split large decision items into smaller, human-sized decision points. -In general, it is easier to reach small decisions than bigger ones. Try to split large decision items into into smaller decision points that you bring to the table one by one, by choosing the suitable facilitation methods in advance. This way, lenghty meetings can be avoided and you will reach the decision sooner. -The step-by-step approach gives you concrete results along the way. You will be able to react to changes faster and see the big picture more easily. -2. Involve only the right people. -Reaching just the right decisions requires that the participants have a shared understanding on the matters – for example pros, cons, consequences, risks, opportunities and so on. If they do not, they will not commit themselves to the decision. -It is far easier to steer a smaller group of people than a bigger one. Make sure to involve only the people needed in each phase – do not invite anybody ”just in case”, not even to virtual meetings. -3. Instead of shared time, find a shared channel. -Often, finding the suitable calendar slot for the meeting takes more time than the decision item itself. Even when the meeting is set, the agenda might need to be reset as someone cancels at the last minute. -During the digital era, collaborative decision making does not need to depend on time or place. Thanks to new tools, busy key people can participate in the decision making no matter where they are located, when it suits them the best. -”In our daily work, we use an online service called Roundtable that brings together the best sides of faciliation methods and social media. It requires from the decision makers only a daily engagement of 15 minutes, whenever they have the time”, Nevalainen says. -Time and place-independent online tools make collaborative decision making more efficient and also bring down the costs, as potential travel expenses decrease. However, according to Nevalainen, professional facilitation, management skills and promoting trust can not be replaced by any tools. When the working environment feels safe, people are willing to share their expertise collectively and are more likely to reach good decisions – no matter what the decision forum is. -Mewar Mahotsav is celebrated in Udaipur region, a festival that marks the advent of spring season. The festival witnesses enthusiastic participation of citizens of Mewar as it is an integral part of Udaipur’s tradition and culture. The city becomes more colourful than ever during this festive period. -This year 2019, Mewar Mahotsav will be celebrated from 8th April to 10th April. Day 1 of the festival will have the royal Gangaur processions which will go upto Gangaur Ghat. There will be loads of cultural programmes for 3 days. A rural haat bazaar will also be an attraction in this festive season. -If you want to use a hand cursor (like web browsers use when the mouse is over a link) you either have to have Windows 2000 or above, or use a resource. [Yes, this is an old article, but it is kept in to demonstrate the technique] The trouble with resources is that you need to know the Resource ID and for the little classes offered on this site, that is not known. So this little class steals the Hand Cursor from a standard Win32 file and uses CopyCursor (and DeleteCursor) to create a local copy. -You can see it in use in the Web Link Button and MSN Message Window in this section. -Your business strategy is essentially everything when it comes to first setting up a business or forming a new business partnership. To say that the finest of details are crucial can be an understatement, and not knowing what is coming around the next couple corners can be folly. If you want to be successful, or at least not disastrous, you have to start thinking about strategy, objectives, and the means to get them now. -Create an overarching map: While it is critical that you pay attention to the fine print and little steps when setting up a business or partnership, it is just as important to see the forest for the trees, or keep an eye on the overall plan. Lay it all out in plain language for you to reference when matters get mixed up or complicated. -Choose your headquarters: Every business must operate from somewhere, even if it reaches its market strictly through online methods. Brush up on local trends and zoning laws to see where your home base should go. If you are creating a partnership, consider where your partners are located as well. Is it going to be a problem if you have to travel long distances for in-person meetings? -Organize your finances: Before you get too far into the process, triple-check your finances, get them in order, and know what money is going to go where and for what purpose. The fastest route to business failure is letting your finances run free. If you need help planning how you or your business partners will dedicate resources, consider hiring a business accountant. -Structure your business: Companies come in all shapes and sizes, whether you are going it alone or creating a partnership. Consider the benefits of LLCs, S corporations, nonprofit groups, and more before laying out the final groundwork of your business. -Name yourself: Arguably the simplest part of forming a business, registering a business name may also be the most important, especially if you are going to deal with consumers directly. Brand names are everything when a product is on a shelf or a service is listed online. Schedule some boardroom talks with any business partners to choose a business name that reflects your organization. -Taxes, insurance, and permits: If you do not need to pay taxes and obtain licenses or permits before opening your business, you are probably not in America. You will need to obtain a tax identification number and acquire necessary permits, and may need to purchase different forms of insurance for potential employees, such as workers’ compensation and disability. -Get help: You should be proud of the business or partnership you have created and managed, but not so much that your pride gets in the way of its success. If you need help understanding a legal issue that is affecting your business, seek it out sooner than later. -At Schern Richardson Finter Decker, our Phoenix business consultation lawyers can work closely with you as you form a business, establishing a working partnership, or manage your company to ensure you never overlook important aspects or make a legal error.

It needs you, for you are the person who determines the health of your pregnancy. -Your registered dietitian, diabetes educator, your doctor and other members of your healthcare team can teach you about proper care for yourself and your baby so that both of you are protected from any complications that may arise. If you have all the necessary knowledge available on gestational diabetes, there can be no problem during and after your pregnancy. Once you know the effects of exercise and food on your blood glucose levels, you can avoid gestational diabetes complications. -Testing your blood glucose level, regular exercise and changes in the time, amount and types of food you eat are important in gestational diabetes home treatment. -Changing the type of food you eat, eating at regular times and the quantity consumed at each meal can ensure that your blood glucose level remain in a safe range. After your gestational diabetes diagnosis, a registered dietitian will help you to plan meals suitable for you. You may be required to keep a record of the foods you consume and your weight. Your dietitian will also show you how to carbohydrate counting so that you eat almost the same amount at each meal to reach a certain total at the end of each day. -Moderate exercise done regularly throughout the pregnancy improves the sensitivity of your body towards insulin and this helps blood glucose level control. Most of the time, eating the right foods and exercise are sufficient for gestational diabetes treatment. There should be a minimum of two and a half hours of moderate exercise each week. To accomplish this takes only 30 minutes of exercise each day for five days or more a week. You can even do 10 minute sessions so long as you get a total of 2½ hours each week. -For pregnant women who have been leading a sedentary life or have no regular exercise before pregnancy, they need to discuss with their doctor before any regular exercise. Suitable exercises for pregnant women are those that do not strain the lower part of the body. So, it is fine to exercise the arm muscles by using a machine known as the arm ergometer; or exercise the leg muscles by using a recumbent bike which has a chair-like seat that is suitable for women who are pregnant. There are also exercise classes especially for women who are pregnant. Walking and swimming are two low-impact exercises which are also suitable. -If it is possible for you to get your blood glucose to remain in the safe range through changes in your eating and exercise, it will not be necessary for you to take any diabetes medication. However, if you need insulin, keep ready with you some sugary food like 4 glucose tablets or some hard candy so that you can use them if you get low blood glucose symptoms such as confusion, blurred vision and sweating during exercise. If you believe your blood glucose level is too low, stop the activity, test your blood glucose level, and consume the sugary foods you have. -Doing home blood glucose level testing is a necessary part of gestational diabetes treatment. You will need to do blood glucose checking at home at least once every day. It can be tough when you have to check your blood glucose frequently but from such testing, you will know you have no need to worry as your blood glucose level is in the safe range. Find out from your doctor how often you should check your blood glucose. -Daily insulin injections may be necessary if your blood glucose level cannot be managed through exercising and the way you eat. -Do not attempt to reduce weight during pregnancy if you were already overweight before the pregnancy. Find out from your doctor the possible weight increase during your pregnancy. -You may be taught by your doctor to count the number of kicks by your baby. You are required to notify your doctor if there is less than the usual number of kicks from the baby. -Your blood glucose level can go lower than the safe range if you use insulin for your gestational diabetes. Although women with gestational diabetes seldom experience low blood glucose, you should know its symptoms and be prepared with sugary foods throughout the day. -Our Intake Unit is available to individuals and families in order to assess individual service needs, and secure appropriate supports, whether directly through Arc/Morris or through a referral to another entity. -Additionally, the Intake Unit can provide information on an array of topics germane to intellectual and related developmental disabilities. -The Intake Unit of The Arc/Morris can be reached by calling 973.326.9750 x211 or you can fill out the form (PDF) and return to Intake Unit, The Arc/Morris, Executive Drive, PO Box 123, Morris Plains, NJ 07950. -The Alliance de l’industrie touristique du Québec works closely with the tourism community to ensure that Quebec remains a major and competitive destination.

Over the past decade, the country has averaged 5% GDP growth each year. Sound economic fundamentals - such as declining debt and low inflation - and a workforce that is young, diverse, educated and English-speaking has made the Philippines a rising star poised to seize the opportunities of the global economy. -The new administration, elected in May, has professed its commitment to the further liberalization of trade through free trade agreements. Its eagerness to join the mega-regional TPP is palpable. "The new government is one that will keep the policy of maximizing foreign trade agreements participation,” Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez said in August. -When the ASEAN Economic Community was established last year, the Philippines also joined nine other nations to form an enormous market of $2.6 trillion and 622 million people. Together, they are the third largest economy in Asia and the seventh largest in the world. -The United States is the Philippines’ third largest trading partner, and gives the Philippines preferential duty-free access to U.S. markets under the Generalized System of Preferences. $16.5 billion worth of goods was exchanged between the two countries in 2015. Looking forward, we can expect the United States and the Philippines to continue its tradition of robust trade. -Filipino exports are driven by the manufacturing sector. A labor force that is hardworking and highly educated gives the country a competitive edge in manufacturing. If you take a look at the top 10 exports from the Philippines in 2015 - which accounted for 83.5% of exports - eight are manufactured goods. -From wood products to transport equipment, manufactured goods of all shapes and sizes come out of the Philippines. By far, the hottest manufacturing export is electronics - and that subsector is dominated by semiconductors. Electronics was easily the biggest export in all five of the largest destination markets for Filipino goods: Japan, U.S., China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. We should also mention that the Philippines is one of the top seafood exporting countries in the world, particularly tuna. Even so, the Philippines is far from producing seafood at its highest capacity given its long coastline and inland bodies of water, which means that there is plenty of untapped potential for this export in the future. -The growth of imports into the Philippines since the beginning of 2016 is fueled by increases in consumer demand, capital goods, and new construction. In spite of the downturn in the global economy, consumer confidence is high in the Philippines. Consumer goods, which comprise 17.9% of imports, increased 47.2% year-over-year in May. Consumer spending in the Philippines has buoyed the economy, rising from 63% of GDP a decade ago to three-quarters today. This phenomenon is underpinned in part by remittances from 2.3 million strong Filipinos who work abroad and further propelled by the explosion of foreign tourists – many from China - spending money while traveling in the Philippines. The country’s young population will be a driving force for domestic demand in future years as well. -Favorable demographics will continue to help the Philippines become a destination for manufacturing. As exports grow and the spending power of Filipinos rise, imports will continue on an upward trajectory – both because of consumer demand and the need to bring in raw materials for processing. The Philippines was once called “the sick man of Asia” because of poor economic policies that kept the country from taking off. Today, it’s well on its way to resuming its coveted position as a hotspot in global trade. -To meet the growing demand for international and domestic freight forwarding in the Philippines, AGWorld has opened a Manila office. We will focus on air and ocean freight (import and export), customs, and domestic trucking services. Our Manila outpost will also offer value added services that many local forwarders lack, including tracking capabilities that give our customers visibility into shipments at all times. AGWorld staff in the Philippines boast 50+ years of experience in the logistics industry.

The images fall in more with my fine art work but i'm starting to realize that fine art is the direction that i'm going into. back to the old ways i suppose. -celebrating the end of a quarter with a glass of wine. -didn't have internet for awhile so my update is a little late and a little long. -Last week I wrote about the construction, and the challenges, of the creation of a guest virtual machine -based snapshot management solution (or “tool”) for Hyper-V environments. As promised, it’s now available for downloading. -As with our other free tools, the download(s) for HyperSnapshot can be found from here, our community tools page. While both the host -based and guest -based components are really small in size, we decided to have a separate ZIP file for each. -For the Hyper-V host machine(s) you will need to have HyperSnapshot’s host -package, which has one [service] executable (HyperSnapshotService.exe) and installation + removal scripts. Once installed, the service will run in the background responding automatically to the requests made from the virtual machine (guest systems), with zero configuration necessary.

This junction has led to fuzzy definitions for a number of those terms such as logistics and supply chain control. -While Both of These phrases Do possess any similarities that they truly are, in actuality, different notions with various meanings. Supply chain management can be an empirical theory that connects together multiple methods to attain competitive advantage, while marketing pertains to this movement, flow, and storage of products, services, and data over the total distribution chain. -It’s the attempts of a Number of businesses working together like a distribution chain which help manage the flow of garbage and ensure that the final goods offer value.

It is also an opportunity to recognize the contributions made by these millions of migrants to the economies of their host and home countries, and to promote respect for their basic human rights. -To mark this year’s International Migrants Day, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is calling on the international community to come together and remember the refugees and migrants who have lost their lives or have disappeared while trying to reach safe harbor after arduous journeys across seas and deserts. -IOM, in collaboration with Esri, has created Migration Flows – Europe Story Map, to give a comprehensive view of migrants’ paths and their unique struggles. -The Migration Flows Story Map shows such trends as which nationalities of migrant are most prevalent in which European country; the transit routes that different migrant communities take to arrive at their destinations; and the rates of stranded, relocated, displaced, and missing migrants. By seeing these trends visualized on maps, it is possible to better understand the issues facing migrants today, which are uniquely geographical. -Ever since 2012, October 11 is International Day of the Girl.

We took an initial step with Builder Pro and feedback from you to create a better experience for console players swapping between building pieces. -We heard your feedback about Builder Pro feeling inconsistent. Sometimes after quickly switching to a building piece, it would not place when you pressed the button. Similarly, Turbo Building could force you to let go and re-press to start building again, making it unreliable. We’ve fixed these issues, and Builder Pro should feel consistent. -In the v4.3 update we’ve fixed various reported problems with the Turbo Building feature, such as building being cancelled while cycling through traps or after pressing certain combinations of buttons. -We’ve also made Turbo Building faster so that gaps won’t appear in your structures when aiming quickly. The first time you begin building it takes 0.15 seconds to build, but each piece after that is faster (0.05 seconds). Combined with Builder Pro, this gives you enough time to select a piece and rotate or edit it before placing. -When playing with a controller and using Edit Mode to modify your buildings, aim assist will kick in and pull your crosshair toward the closest square. It will also try to confine your aim to the building piece you're editing. We've heard that some players find this feature uncomfortable to play with, so you'll be able to toggle Edit Mode Aim Assist off in the v4.3 update. -Looking to the future, we want to provide for the best experience on console and that involves giving you the options to play however you wish. We’re investigating giving you ways to bind actions to whichever buttons you would prefer to use. Additionally we’re investigating other aspects like stick axis remapping. We’re not sure when this will land, but we’ll give you more info once its fully tested! -We’ve been using LTMs to take existing aspects of the game and try new things with them (i.e. legendary loot in Solid Gold or faster games in Blitz). We look at LTMs as a space that allows us to explore different tweaks to the main game mode (e.g. Building Resources) and do things we wouldn’t normally do in standard playlists. -We’ve heard you about your love for 50v50 and we’re currently evaluating keeping a larger squad mode live at all times for those who enjoy that type of battling more! -We took our first step into what a competitive playlist may look like with Solo Showdown. Creating a separate space for players who wanted to compete towards a prize while exploring how competitive play might look in Fortnite. -We introduced the Jetpack this week as our a Limited Time Item. Our goal is to introduce items that change gameplay in big & unique ways. We’re going to keep a close eye on your feedback and the data we collect. You’ll also see the Jetpack featured in our Close Encounter LTM going live tomorrow! -The Playground LTM will load you into the Battle Royale Map with some adjusted settings. -Battle and build to your heart's content with an extended period of time to roam around the map as well as increased resource generation. All treasure chests and ammo crates will be spawned, try droppin’ in different spots and scope out the loot. Friendly fire is on so you can scrimmage with your squad (up to 4 friends per match), but fear not you’ll respawn immediately. -Oh … and Lloads of Llamas. -This represents our initial step into what a creative mode looks like in Fortnite. Practice, strategize and enjoy yourself. We can’t wait to see what you do! -When you hop on to play Fortnite after a long day at work or in classes we want that first match to feel as good as the last one. Performance is an aspect of the game that is very important to us and something we are committed to improving over time. Here are a few of the ways we’re working to smooth out your daily play! -In the v4.1 update we issued a hotfix to address some long hitches, but we’re still seeing reports of these hitches in our data. We’ve added additional logging and diagnostics to help us track down issues that can cause the game to freeze. When you use in the in-game feedback report feature, it will allow us to diagnose these issues. -We know that many of the hitches happen because the game is stopping to load content at unexpected times in the middle of the match, instead of smoothly streaming the data in the background. The game will now be able to directly report these loading problems to our team. We've also added a new system to more reliably pre-load content before the match starts, so that new loading hitches don't sneak back into future updates. -We want to get you into a match in as short a time as possible after you hit play! We’ve been working to improve file performance, ensure cosmetics are loaded in time, and reducing overall load times. By optimizing order of assets in our patches we reduced load times on console by 15-30 seconds in the v3.5 update. Each major release we regularly update the order of assets in order to keep load times down. -We recently boosted the server tick rates from 20 Hz to a solid 30 Hz in standard game modes. This means the server is updating the game 50% faster than before and should improve the responsiveness of your actions in the game. But we still have work to do. Fast and consistent server performance is extremely important to us, and we’re still working hard at it. -Our next goal is to ensure that “large team” LTMs like 50v50 are hitting 30Hz for the entire match. -For large team modes we’ve made optimizations to adapt and update players based on what they’re doing in game. Players who are standing still don’t need to update everyone around them very frequently compared to players who are running and gunning. Similarly, very distant players are updated less frequently, especially players that aren't visible to you. These optimizations allow our servers to handle larger numbers of players. -Currently the game throttles the frequency that your player's movement data is sent over the network to 20Hz for roughly the first half of the game. This is reduce strain on the server's physics system, allowing it to maintain frame rate. As the number of players participating in the match reduces to 24, we increase the frequency of updates to 33Hz. Over time we’ll improve performance of server physics calculations, and we expect to be able to remove this throttling in a future update. -We’re continuing to improve the core gameplay experience, and have a number of features in progress! -Starting in v4.3 there will be in-match pop ups to highlight your challenge progress. Track what you’ve completed and plan out your strategy for the remainder of the match or your next one! -Marking positions on the map is a great way to communicate with your squad, but often the marker on the compass isn’t enough to get you to your location. We’re investigating ways to display an in-world marker to allow for easier navigation around the island. -Getting a Victory Royale should be a memorable experience, and the victory screen should support that. We want to freshen up the celebration and make it a bit more rewarding. -The ability to zoom in on the map was added in a recent update, but the resolution of the image isn’t quite as good as we want it to be. Our goal is to capture the world with as many details as possible to make it easier when figuring out where you're droppin’! -Our v4.2 update had some footstep audio improvements, where we added slightly more variation to above/below sounds. We recognize it’s still difficult to identify enemy position in high-density locations (such as Tilted Towers) and we’ll continue to iterate on this. -All outfits and cosmetics have value. We want to add ways for you to gain additional goodies through collection over time! This is work in progress - and it’s a little further out. -In preparation for our Celebrity Pro-Am at E3 we've been hard at work making some improvements to the replay system. -We’re developing new camera features that allow you to orbit around any point of your choosing as well having the camera automatically track the action for you by focusing on a group of players, rather than just one person. -We’ve also been refining the map view in replays to add more functionality to the playerlist and to add bullet trajectories to the player markers on the map. Additionally, player nameplates have been tweaked to avoid overlapping where possible. -Finally, we’ve also been looking at improving player outlines and adding an x-ray view for when players enter buildings or actively building themselves so that you always have the best view of what’s happening. -We're excited to get these new features and improvements into everyone's hands and will be releasing them as part of the game as soon as they are battle tested and ready! Keep an eye on our patch notes for all the details. -Please see below for any positions we currently have available. -To work in a diligent, efficient and conscientious manner undertaking building cleaning activities. -A basic disclosure from Disclosure Scotland is required for this post. -We all have read the tales told of Jesus in the Gospels, but few people really have a good idea of their context. Yet it is quite enlightening to examine them against the background of the time and place in which they were written, and my goal here is to help you do just that. There is abundant evidence that these were times replete with kooks and quacks of all varieties, from sincere lunatics to ingenious frauds, even innocent men mistaken for divine, and there was no end to the fools and loons who would follow and praise them. Placed in this context, the gospels no longer seem to be so remarkable, and this leads us to an important fact: when the Gospels were written, skeptics and informed or critical minds were a small minority. Although the gullible, the credulous, and those ready to believe or exaggerate stories of the supernatural are still abundant today, they were much more common in antiquity, and taken far more seriously. -If the people of that time were so gullible or credulous or superstitious, then we have to be very cautious when assessing the reliability of witnesses of Jesus. As Thomas Jefferson believed when he composed his own version of the gospels, Jesus may have been an entirely different person than the Gospels tell us, since the supernatural and other facts about him, even some of his parables or moral sayings, could easily have been added or exaggerated by unreliable witnesses or storytellers. Thus, this essay is not about whether Jesus was real or how much of what we are told about him is true. It is not even about Jesus. Rather, this essay is a warning and a standard, by which we can assess how likely or easily what we are told about Jesus may be false or exaggerated, and how little we can trust anyone who claims to be a witness of what he said and did. For if all of these other stories below could be told and believed, even by Christians themselves, it follows that the Gospels, being of entirely the same kind, can all too easily be inaccurate, tainted by the gullibility, credulity, or fondness for the spectacular which characterized most people of the time. -Even in Acts, we get an idea of just how gullible people could be. Surviving a snake bite was evidently enough for the inhabitants of Malta to believe that Paul himself was a god (28:6). And Paul and his comrade Barnabas had to go to some lengths to convince the Lycaonians of Lystra that they were not deities. For the locals immediately sought to sacrifice to them as manifestations of Hermes and Zeus, simply because a man with bad feet stood up (14:8-18). These stories show how ready people were to believe that gods can take on human form and walk among them, and that a simple show was sufficient to convince them that mere men were such divine beings. And this evidence is in the bible itself. -Beyond the bible, the historian Josephus supplies some insights. Writing toward the end of the first century, himself an eye-witness of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D, he tells us that the region was filled with "cheats and deceivers claiming divine inspiration" (Jewish War, 2.259-60; Jewish Antiquities, 20.167), entrancing the masses and leading them like sheep, usually to their doom. The most successful of these "tricksters" appears to be "the Egyptian" who led a flock of 30,000 believers around Palestine (Jewish War, 2.261-2; Paul is mistaken for him by a Roman officer in Acts 21:38). This fellow even claimed he could topple the walls of Jerusalem with a single word (Jewish Antiquities, 20.170), yet it took a massacre at the hands of Roman troops to finally instill doubt in his followers. -Twenty years later, a common weaver named Jonathan would attract a mob of the poor and needy, promising to show them many signs and portents (Jewish War, 7.437-8). Again, it took military intervention to disband the movement. Josephus also names a certain Theudas, another "trickster" who gathered an impressive following in Cyrene around 46 A.D., claiming he was a prophet and could part the river Jordan (Jewish Antiquities, 20.97). This could be the same Theudas mentioned in Acts 5:36. Stories like these also remind us of the faithful following that Simon was reported to have had in Acts 8:9-11, again showing how easy it was to make people believe you had "the power of god" at your disposal. Jesus was not unique in that respect. -Miracles were also a dime a dozen in this era. The biographer Plutarch, a contemporary of Josephus, engages in a lengthy digression to prove that a statue of Tyche did not really speak in the early Republic (Life of Coriolanus 37.3). He claims it must have been a hallucination inspired by the deep religious faith of the onlookers, since there were, he says, too many reliable witnesses to dismiss the story as an invention (38.1-3). He even digresses further to explain why other miracles such as weeping or bleeding--even moaning--statues could be explained as natural phenomena, showing a modest but refreshing degree of skeptical reasoning that would make the Amazing Randi proud. What is notable is not that Plutarch proves himself to have some good sense, but that he felt it was necessary to make such an argument at all. Clearly, such miracles were still reported and believed in his own time. I find this to be a particularly interesting passage, since we have thousands of believers flocking to weeping and bleeding statues even today. Certainly the pagan gods must also exist if they could make their statues weep and bleed as well! -Miraculous healings were also commonplace. Suetonius, another biographer writing a generation after Plutarch, reports that even the emperor Vespasian once cured the blind and lame (Life of Vespasian 7.13; this "power" being attributed to the god Serapis--incidentally the Egyptian counterpart to Asclepius; cf. also Tacitus, Histories 4.81). Likewise, statues with healing powers were common attractions for sick people of this era. Lucian mentions the famous healing powers of a statue of Polydamas, an athlete, at Olympia, as well as the statue of Theagenes at Thasos (Council of the Gods 12). Both are again mentioned by Pausanias, in his "tour guide" of the Roman world (6.5.4-9, 11.2-9). Lucian also mentions the curative powers of the statue of a certain General Pellichos (Philopseudes 18-20). And Athenagoras, in his Legatio pro Christianis (26), polemicizes against the commonplace belief in the healing powers of statues, mentioning, in addition to the statue of a certain Neryllinus, the statues of Proteus and Alexander, the same two men I discuss in detail below. -But above all these, the "pagans" had Asclepius, their own healing savior, centuries before, and after, the ministry of Christ. Surviving testimonies to his influence and healing power throughout the classical age are common enough to fill a two-volume book (Edelstein and Edelstein, Asclepius: A Collection and Interpretation of the Testimonies, in two volumes, 1945--entries 423-450 contain the most vivid testimonials). Of greatest interest are the inscriptions set up for those healed at his temples. These give us almost first hand testimony, more reliable evidence than anything we have for the miracles of Jesus, of the blind, the lame, the mute, even the victims of kidney stones, paralytics, and one fellow with a spearhead stuck in his jaw (see the work cited above, p. 232), all being cured by this pagan "savior." And this testimony goes on for centuries. Inscriptions span from the 4th century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D. and later, all over the Roman Empire. Clearly, the people of this time were quite ready to believe such tales. They were not remarkable tales at all. -This more general evidence of credulity in the Roman Empire shows the prevalence of belief in divine miracle working of all kinds. I will now present you with three historical individuals who truly flesh out the picture. -Apollonius, Peregrinus, and Alexander are three rather interesting religious founders about whom we know even more than we do of Jesus. The first, Apollonius of Tyana, is often called the "pagan Christ," since he also lived during the first century, and performed a similar ministry of miracle-working, preaching his own brand of ascetic Pythagoreanism--he was also viewed as the son of a god, resurrected the dead, ascended to heaven, performed various miracles, and criticized the authorities with pithy wisdom much like Jesus did. -Naturally, his story is one that no doubt grew into more and more fantastic legends over time, until he becomes an even more impressive miracle-worker than Jesus in the largest surviving work on him, The Life of Apollonius of Tyana, written by Philostratus around 220 A.D. This work is available today in two volumes as part of the Loeb Classical Library, published by Harvard University Press, a set that also includes the surviving fragments of Apollonius' own writings (if only Jesus had bothered to write something!) as well as the Treatise against him by the Christian historian Eusebius. There were other books written about him immediately after his death, but none survive. -Even Eusebius, in his Treatise against Apollonius, does not question his existence, or the reality of many of his miracles--rather, he usually tries to attribute them to trickery or demons. This shows the credulity of the times, even among educated defenders of the Christian faith, but it also shows how easy it was to deceive. Since they readily believed in demons and magical powers, it should not surprise us that they believed in resurrections and transmutations of water to wine. -We also know that the cult that grew up around Apollonius survived for many centuries after his death. An inscription from as late as the 3rd century names him as a sort of pagan "absolver of sins," sent from heaven (Oxford Classical Dictionary, 3rd ed., 1996). The emperor Caracalla erected a shrine to him in Tyana around 215 A.D (Dio Cassius, 78.18; for a miraculous display of clairvoyance on the part of Apollonius, see 67.18). According to one account, the ghost of Apollonius even appeared to the emperor Aurelian to convince him to stop his siege of Tyana, whereupon he also erected a shrine to him around 274 A.D. (Historia Augusta: Vita Aureliani 24.2-6). -Later Arabic sources even discuss the fame and potency of certain relics associated with him, which remained in use well into the sixth and seventh centuries, the last of them apparently destroyed by crusaders in 1204 A.D. So popular was the belief in the power of these "talismans" that the Church was forced to accept their use, even while condemning Apollonius and his shrines as demonic (see sources below). And so, we see here an independent confirmation that blind belief in the divine status and miraculous powers of mere mortals easily captivated the people of this time, a fact that even modern Christians must admit. -An even more colorful story is that of a crazy fellow called Peregrinus, nicknamed "Proteus," who set himself on fire during the Olympic games in 165 A.D. to prove his faith in reincarnation. The notion of suicide as a proof of such faith was not new. Indian Brahmans had immolated themselves before Western audiences on several occasions before, the most famous being Calanus, at Susa, in front of Alexander the Great, and Zarmarus, at Athens, in front of Augustus (Plutarch, Alexander 69.8). What is most relevant, however, is the fascinating story told about him by the skeptic Lucian in his satirical work, "The Death of Peregrinus." Lucian knew Proteus personally, and he gives us a look at what the story of Jesus might have been had a skeptic been around to give us a different account. -While Aulus Gellius had also met this man in Athens, and was impressed enough to call him a man of "dignity and fortitude" (Attic Nights 11.1-7), Lucian had another point of view. He describes the vainglorious motivations of Proteus, and the duped mobs clamoring for a miracle. He also mentions the gullibility of Christians, who, he says, were easily duped by scam artists (13). Indeed, after the death of Peregrinus, people reported that he was, like Jesus, risen from the dead, wearing white raiment, and that he ascended to heaven in the form of a vulture (40). The punch line is that this latter story may have been a deliberate invention of Lucian himself (39), told to gullible followers, and later recounted to him as if it were fact, showing the effects of the rumor mill at work. Indeed, even people who were in the same city at the time were ready to believe that an earthquake accompanied his death, reminding us of the absurd miracles surrounding the death of Jesus recounted without a blush in Matthew 27:51-54. How easy it was for such stories to be believed! Even if this tale is filled with rhetoric on the part of Lucian, his criticism of gullibility would have no weight if it did not ring true. -Peregrinus also had a small cult following after his death. His staff was treated as a religious relic (Lucian, The Ignorant Book Collector 14), his disciples preached his doctrine (Lucian, Runaways), and his statue healed the sick and gave oracles (Athenagoras, cited above). But his bid for religious glory was not as successful as another man, Alexander of Abonuteichos. Lucian dedicates an even longer and more vicious account of his personal contacts with this man, whom he calls "the quack prophet." The account alone is detailed and entertaining, but for our present purpose it illustrates how easy it was to invent a god and watch the masses scurry to worship it. His scam began around 150 A.D. and lasted well beyond his death in 170 A.D., drawing the patronage of emperors and provincial governors as well as the commons. His cult may have even lasted into the 4th century, although the evidence is unclear. -The official story was that a snake-god with a human head was born as an incarnation of Asclepius, and Alexander was his keeper and intermediary. With this arrangement Alexander gave oracles, offered intercessory prayers, and even began his own mystery religion. Lucian tells us the inside story. Glycon was in fact a trained snake with a puppet head, and all the miracles surrounding him were either tall tales or the ingenious tricks of Alexander himself. But what might we think had there been no Lucian to tell us this? So credulous was the public as well as the government, that a petition to change the name of the town where the god lived, and to strike a special coin in his honor (Lucian, Alexander 58), was heeded, and we have direct confirmation of both facts: such coins have been found, dating from the reign of Antoninus Pius and continuing up into the 3rd century, bearing the unique image of a human-headed snake god. Likewise, the town of Abonuteichos was petitioned to be renamed Ionopolis, and the town is today known as Ineboli, a clear derivation. Even statues, inscriptions, and other carvings survive, attesting to this Alexander and his god Glycon and their ensuing cult (Culture and Society in Lucian, pp. 138, 143). -As for his influence, Lucian tells us that Severianus, the governor of Cappadocia, was killed in Armenia because he believed an oracle of Alexander's (27), and Rutilianus, the governor of Moesia and Asia, was also a devout follower, and even married Alexander's daughter. Indeed, Alexander's "god" was so popular that people rushed all the way from Rome to consult him (30), and even the emperor Marcus Aurelius sought his prophecy (48). From this it is all the more apparent that religious crazes were a dime a dozen in the time and place of the Gospels, helping to explain why a new and strange religion like Christianity could become so popular, and its claims--which to us sound absurd--could be so readily believed. -The final lesson from the case of Alexander and Peregrinus is that Lucian's skeptical debunking never persuaded any believers, showing that even the rare skeptic, no matter how convincing his arguments and evidence, could have no practical effect on the credulous. The vast majority would never read or hear anything he wrote, and most of those who did would dismiss it. Indeed, believers were hostile to critical thought and would shout the skeptics down and drive off even suspected doubters in their midst, as actually happened in the case of Alexander: before every ceremony, the congregation would cry "Away with the Epicureans! Away with the Christians!" (and atheists and unbelievers in general: 38) since these two groups had a reputation for trying to debunk popular religion (this hostility could even come to slander and violence: 25). In effect, this was like clamping their hands over their ears and humming, deliberately refusing even to hear reasonable arguments, much less to consider their force. -From all of this one thing should be apparent: the age of Jesus was not an age of critical reflection and remarkable religious acumen. It was an era filled with con artists, gullible believers, martyrs without a cause, and reputed miracles of every variety. In light of this picture, the tales of the Gospels do not seem very remarkable. Even if they were false in every detail, there is no evidence that they would have been disbelieved or rejected as absurd by many people, who at the time had little in the way of education or critical thinking skills. They had no newspapers, telephones, photographs, or public documents to consult to check a story. If they were not a witness, all they had was a man's word. And even if they were a witness, the tales above tell us that even then their skills of critical reflection were lacking. Certainly, this age did not lack keen and educated skeptics--it is not that there were no skilled and skeptical observers. There were. Rather, the shouts of the credulous rabble overpowered their voice and seized the world from them, boldly leading them all into the darkness of a thousand years of chaos. Perhaps we should not repeat the same mistake. After all, the wise learn from history. The fool ignores it. -Glenn Miller has written a rebuttal to this essay ("Were the Miracles of Jesus invented by the Disciples/Evangelists?" 2002), in response to which I changed some of the language above so as not to give a mistaken impression of my meaning. Miller's title has little to do with my essay, since I am not arguing here (even if I do elsewhere) that anyone in particular "invented" the miracles of Jesus. Rather, I am merely presenting a survey of the social and intellectual context in which those miracles came to be believed. -As to the remainder of Miller's criticism of this essay specifically, I plan to respond in a future rebuttal (which will be announced here). But one simple point must be made even now: almost all of Miller's relevant evidence comes from the educated or even scholarly elite (like Lucian), and thus in no way represents the average man or woman in antiquity, who by their very circumstance wrote nothing for Miller to examine. I would guess that skilled skeptics and skeptical viewpoints like those Miller finds probably could not be found in much more than 10% of the population of the time, if even that--but whose existence I acknowledged even in the original draft of this essay. -The fact that pagan miracle working is not much heard of today is in large part due to the more effective Christian propaganda during the Empire and, of course, a thousand years of censorship afterward. An excellent discussion of the former, and how it contributed to the eventual success of the Church, is given by Thomas Matthews in The Clash of the Gods: A Reinterpretation of Christian Art (1993). For a broad comparative study of holy men of all faiths (Christian, pagan, and Jewish) in the time of Jesus, an excellent source is Sage, Saint, and Sophist: Holy Men and their Associates in the Early Roman Empire, by Graham Anderson (1994). Both are highly recommended. -The most extensive study on the historicity of Apollonius as well as his cult and legend can be found in the otherwise dry work by Maria Dzielska, Apollonius of Tyana in Legend and History, translated by Piotr Pienkowski (L'Erma di Bretschneider, 1986). Interested scholars should begin there. In particular, the source tradition on his magic "talismans" is a complicated affair, but their history and reluctant acceptance by the Church is discussed at great length by Dzielska in chapter 3. As for Lucian, his works about Peregrinus and Alexander are available in a very readable and engaging English translation in Lionel Casson's Selected Satires of Lucian (1962). These two stories are a very fun read, and well worth seeking out. An excellent survey and analysis of Lucian's works and his surrounding culture is available in Culture and Society in Lucian by C. P. Jones (1986). This is, in fact, a must-read for anyone interested in the contrast between free thought and gullibility in the Roman Empire. It has entire chapters dedicated to Peregrinus and Alexander. Finally, Lucian's Philopseudes (or "Lover of Lies") is a virtual treasure trove of examples of ancient credulity and superstition that is a must-read source on the subject (it can be found in vol. 3 of Lucian's works in the Loeb Classical Library). -How to cite this entry?

The rejection mag landed in my letterbox as predicted. -But what I did get was a very exciting phone call from the super lovely team at the RSPCA asking if perhaps I would consider the London Marathon for them instead of Brighton. I pretended to consider it for all of about 30 seconds before declaring rather excitedly that yes, yes I would, and please don’t change your minds thank you very much please. -Fortunately, they didn’t change their minds and I will indeed be running the London Marathon 2017 as part of the amazing #TeamAnimal. -I know a lot of runners who don’t like the idea of taking up a charity place, or fundraising on a ballot place, and I totally get it; the idea of raising money can be really daunting. But how often in my life do I do something that’s worthy of being sponsored for? The stat that’s banded around a lot is that only 1% of the population will ever run a marathon – so it’s something to be celebrated, respected and definitely worth people digging deep for. I mean, they’ll probably just be relieved that it’s not them who has to run a stupidly long way. -So why the RSPCA? Well, it’s a charity that’s been close to my heart since I was as young as 3 – when my first cat came into my life in the shape of an RSPCA rescue tabby called Amber. He lived with us until the grand old age of 18 and I have since had two more pet cats – both adopted from the charity. No pet owner needs to be told the value of having an animal in your life, and I’m a very strong advocate of adopting animals in need rather than buying them. I was also an active member of the Junior RSPCA squad as a kid, and was about as animal obsessed as you can get. -Mister Dinosaur. What do you mean you can tell my toddler named him? -With the charity being so high on my radar and it being such a well recognised name, I was really surprised to find out that they are often overlooked when it comes to people fundraising for them at running events, which made me more determined than ever to highlight their work and raise as much money as I can. -And by ‘all animals’ they really do mean all animals – it isn’t just pets that they aim to help, it’s farm animals, wild animals, and those used in testing and research. That’s an awful lot of animals and an awful lot of money needed to keep it going. The amount of money I’m aiming to raise seems like a lot, but compared to how much money the charity needs to keep on doing the amazing work it does, it’s a drop in the ocean. -With that in mind I would urge anyone who is considering running a marathon – or any running event – to consider looking at the RSPCA charity places (they currently have places available for London Marathon, Brighton Marathon and the Great North Run) or using your ballot place (you lucky devils you) to raise funds as part of Team Animal. -It says Team Animal, obvs. -Have a glance at this page – it’ll tell you all you need to know. -I’ll be keeping you updated on my training, but for now here are some more cute pictures of my cats. -Next Post A weekend to remember. -Thats amazing.hope you enjoy it.any marathon is a big achievement for anyone. -CarFinder | Murray Ford of Kingsland Inc. -Murray Ford of Kingsland Inc. offers a free, no obligation and confidential CarFinder tool, allowing you to specify your desired car, truck or SUV and submit the vehicle configuration to us.

Jules (who takes care of our brides and grooms) on the other hand has been very focussed on cars this last week and definitely knows what she likes. She’s also got an uncanny knack of remembering every number plate that she comes across. It’s that attention to detail that is mind boggling! -Just occasionally though even I can really understand the excitement about a having a gorgeous car. I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t the teeniest bit of excitement when the gold wrapped Bentley of one of our clients drove up to the studio last year. We really weren’t all sneakily admiring it parked on the driveway, honest! -I love the fun factor in a car that shows your personality. I really get this as my own first car was a fiat 126 and was diddy, in fact I had two at one point a blue and a red which I used to joke that I chose between depending on my outfit that day. One of our couples had a fiat 500 as their wedding car last year. How awesome is that! -Some couples choose a car because of the sentiment attached to it. At our last wedding of 2016 on New Years Eve, the wedding car had huge sentimental value to the bride and her family and was justifiably an important part of the day. At my own nieces wedding she had a VW camper-van, which are perfect for a vintage wedding, but I knew that was also a special choice for my sister and her hubby who both loved VW campers. -So, who knew a car could be so important!!! But which to choose, well we’ve had the pleasure of photographing some amazing cars over the years.

When planning your retirement options, we want to make sure we offer a variety of plans. -We are part of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). Instead of participating in Social Security, CalOptima employees contribute a percentage of their pre-tax earnings to their CalPERS account. CalOptima contributes the same percentage of the employee’s regular earnings into this account. This is a defined benefit retirement plan in which the retirement benefit is based on the employee's years of service, final/highest compensation, and age at retirement. Regular, full-time employees become vested in the plan after five years of service. -We also offer a Defined Contribution Supplemental Retirement Plan through the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), a 401(a) tax-qualified multiple employer trust. CalOptima contributes to this on each employee’s behalf. All contributions are automatically invested in a life-cycle mutual fund based on your current age and is managed by John Hancock Retirement Services. These life-cycle funds are professionally managed investments that automatically adjust to become more conservative over time as you approach your retirement date. If you wish to manage your own investments, you have the ability to select among 20 different mutual funds representing different investment sectors. -A voluntary 457 Deferred Compensation Plan is also offered. Section 457 plans are available to public agencies and are similar to 401(k) plans in the private sector. The employee determines the amount of pay they wish to contribute, via payroll deductions, on a pre-tax basis. The employee determines from a selection of options how their money will be invested. The plan is portable, so it may be “rolled over” to most other retirement plans. -Fresh food is so attractive to astronauts that they toasted with salad when they were able to cultivate a few lettuce heads on the International Space Station three years ago. -In 2021, beans are on the menu to be grown in space, planted in high-tech planters developed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). -“Astronauts like gardening and everything that reminds them of life on earth. They enjoy tending and watering the vegetables, and getting them to germinate,” says Silje Wolff, a plant physiologist at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Space (CIRiS), which is part of NTNU Social Research. -Wolff has just completed an experiment that involved growing lettuce for space. The lettuce was planted in artificial soil made from lava rock. The goal is for the plants to grow directly in water that is supplemented with plant nutrients. -“The dream of every astronaut is to be able to eat fresh food – like strawberries, cherry tomatoes or anything that’s really flavorful. Someday that will certainly be possible. We envision a greenhouse with several varieties of vegetables,” says Wolff. -The longest stays at the International Space Station have been six months. People travelling to Mars will need to be prepared to stay in space for at least a year. -The European Space Agency plans to build a lunar base in 2030 as a stopover on the way to Mars. NASA plans to fly directly to the planet with a target landing date of 2030. -“The way space travel works today, it’s almost impossible to take along all the resources you need. That’s why we have to develop a biological system so astronauts can produce their own food, and recycle all of the resources,” says Wolff. -Today’s astronauts eat only freeze-dried and vacuum-packed foods. -“Astronauts struggle with having little appetite. They often lose weight. Addressing the psychological aspect of eating something fresh is one of our goals. Vacuum-packed food doesn’t really remind you of food. Having something fresh that triggers the appetite and the right receptors in the brain is important,” Wolff says. -NTNU and CIRiS are collaborating with Italian and French researchers in their quest to cultivate plant-based food for long space journeys. -CIRiS tests the new equipment made by NTNU’s technical workshop – very sophisticated planters that regulate all the water, nutrients, gas and air the plants need. In space, all the water and food has to be recovered. This means that plant fertilization needs to be as precise as possible. -Wolff has conducted experiments in climate-regulated growth chambers in the Netherlands as one aspect of this research. -Of all the nutrients plants use, they use nitrogen the most. During her experiments, Wolff looked at different nutrient doses and how they affected the plants’ water uptake. -“We found that plants can, in a way, ‘smell’ the amount of nutrients available to them. When the nitrogen concentration is very low, the plant will absorb more water and thus more nitrogen until it reaches an optimal level. The plant has a mechanism that turns on when the nitrogen level is adequate. Then it adjusts both nitrogen and water absorption down,” says Wolff. -Everything that can be tested on Earth has now been carried out. The next step is to grow beans in space to observe the effect of no gravity on plants’ ability to transport water and absorb nutrients. Simulating the absence of gravity can’t be done on Earth. -The beans are placed in a centrifuge to sprout and grow in the space station. The centrifuge is rotated to create different amounts of gravity. -That will allow her to compare how the different gravitational levels affect the plants in space. On Earth, gravity causes warm air to rise while cold air sinks. In the space station, air is more stationary, causing astronauts to always have a low-grade fever. Plants are also affected. -“Stationary air affects a layer on the underside of the leaf where the stoma pores are located. When gravity disappears, the boundary layer in the slit-shaped apertures thickens. This reduces evaporation and causes the leaf temperature to increase. Water vapour diffusion to the environment is an important part of plant regulation and can be compared with sweating to cool the body in humans and animals,” says Wolff. -Food production in cities offers an opportunity to produce more food in the most sustainable way. Cities don’t have much soil for cultivation, but a lot becomes possible if you can plant directly in water in indoor closed systems where all aspects of the climate are regulated. -“Recycling and precise fertilization are key to achieving more sustainable food production. By growing plants directly in water with dissolved nutrients, fertilization and irrigation are much easier to control,” says Wolff. -“The plants become less sensitive to nutritional deficiency because the roots are in direct contact with the nutrients. They’re always able to access new nutrients through the water, and can use absolutely all the nutrients available – unlike with soil that binds the nutrients and affects their availability to the roots. And the roots don’t rot when the water is mixed with a little oxygen,” she says. -Check back later to find the answer to this.

With this shade on your cheeks, your face will appear brighter and well-rested. -Tangerine is superb on morena complexions, as this complements the golden undertones of Pinay skin. -Okay, before you panic, this pigment is actually in a (very, very) deep plum shade. A thin veil leaves a berry stain on the cheeks, which, IMHO, is ultra-flattering for all skin tones! -When you're wearing bold eye makeup, you can balance your look with a subtle sweep of taupe or copper blush that adds warmth and definition to your face. -Increase the drama with a shocking and strong pink blush on the apples of your cheeks. -Ihr habt wunderbare Rituale. Es ist sehr schön, dass in dieser Form an Hans erinnert wird. Wir sehen ihn vor uns, wie wir ihn noch im Mai 2009 erlebt haben.

They were a couple bucks each, and they were just fun, little games you could play in-between bigger games. I'd played a few over the years, but I never really realized just how many of those games there were. Now, Cheapass is running a Kickstarter campaign for an anthology of their products. -In the summer of 1996, James Ernest began his quest to bring happiness and joy to all the people of the world, by creating clever tabletop games and selling them really cheap. He named his company Cheapass Games, and we're still going today. -Since that first year, we have released more than 100 original games: card games, board games, dice games, free games, and more. -Cheapass Games in Black and White is a collection of all of our black and white games, with the rules and histories of favorites like Kill Doctor Lucky, Lord of the Fries, Button Men, and many others. It also has many more obscure games, like Escape from Elba, Pennywise, Dogfight, and The Lost Pueblo of Doctor Green, and a few prototypes and unreleased games you've never heard of. -If you're a fan of Cheapass Games, an aspiring game designer, or just interested in the history of the company, read on. -The campaign's more than 2x funded with still 28 days to go. -An Advanced Practice Provider career with UT Southwestern Medical Center is your chance to be part of an extraordinary team. We are a nationally recognized, academic medical center, home to dedicated health care professionals on a mission to improve the health care in our community, our nation and the world through education, innovation and compassion. -Advanced Practice RN (Nurse Practitioners) - Team members in this nursing job perform one or more of the following core functions: a) Directly interacting with or caring for patients; b) Regularly maintaining, modifying, releasing or similarly affecting patient records (including patient financial records). -Physician Assistant - Team members in this role perform duties such as obtaining complete medical history data from patients; perform physical examinations to obtain physical data; organize and present historical and physical data, together with evaluations and recommendations, to physician in such way as to permit him/her to visualize medical problem; and determine appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. -St Marys Medical Center (SMDC) is the region's most established source for quality, up-to-the-minute health care that's close to home. Through their 20 clinics, hospitals and specialty care facilities located in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, they bring primary care, specialty services and medical technology to their community. -In 1997, St. Mary's Medical Center and Duluth Clinic merged to form St. Mary's/Duluth Clinic Health System.

SMDC organizations represent decades of respected service, experience and excellence. Today, SMDC is an innovative leader in the health care of the region, with 20 clinics, four hospitals and an array of specialty care services to meet the needs of their patients. -When we hear the word patience, we probably think of the virtue that enables us to wait. That’s one way of looking at it, but Spirit-led patience is also much more. Patience is longsuffering. It involves more than passive waiting; it is active forbearance. It is a deliberate willingness to put up with disagreeable things in pursuit of higher goals. -The best example of patience in the Bible is God himself. A number of times, God is described as being “slow to anger” (see Exodus 34:6; Psalm 103:8). This phrase captures what true patience is. Patient people do more than just wait. They actively restrain their rightful anger and frustration. For a higher purpose, they put up with things that they know are wrong. -This is the attitude our longsuffering God has toward sinful people. For Paul, the “immense patience” of Jesus meant that God put up with all his wickedness for a long time before showing mercy to him. Paul calls himself “the worst of sinners,” reflecting back on the time of his life when he persecuted Christians (see Acts 7:54-8:3). But God had other plans for Paul (Acts 9:1-31; 13:1-28:31). That could easily be the testimony of every believer. -How wonderful that God’s love rests on his own capacity for goodness, and not our own! -Dear Lord, thank you for being patient with us. Forgive us for all we do wrong, and help us to be living testimonies of your mercy. In Jesus’ name, Amen. -Qapital helps you get there faster with Goals and Rules.

The data suggests that kid’s food allergies have increased from 3.4% in 1997 to 5.1% by 2011. Skin allergies increased from 7.4 percent to 12.5 percent in that same time span. -Results from the CDC survey indicate that African American children are more prone to skin allergies when compared to Caucasians. On the other hand, the latter have a higher risk of developing respiratory diseases. Children of Latin American descent have the smallest chances of developing skin reactions when compared to many other races. -Studies also revealed that the income level of the family is an influential factor. Though there is no known cause for the correlation between income and allergies, researchers have speculated that differences in diet and frequency of antibiotic use could be factors. It is also possible that allergies are simply reported more frequently by affluent families who tend to visit the doctor more often. -In further findings, children ages 5 or less are more likely to develop skin allergies when compared to children over 5 years of age. Statistics also revealed that older children are more prone to respiratory problems. -In spite of this increase in children’s allergies, there is hope. AllergyEasy offers sublingual immunotherapy for patients of all ages. This no-shots, no-hassle allergy solution treats symptoms with under-the-tongue drops. They are prescribed by a physician but can be taken at home because they have a higher safety profile than allergy shots.

The oral and dermal absorptions are estimated to be 50 and 5% respectively. -Occupational exposure limits (8-h time weighted average) of 10 ppm (49 mg/m3) have been adopted in Austria and Germany (DFG) or of 25 ppm (125 mg/m3) in Belgium, Denmark and Great Britain. Short-term OEL of 10 ppm is in force in Austria, of 20 ppm in Germany (DFG) and of 25 ppm in Denmark, France, Spain, Sweden and UK. -“Carcinogenicity studies with hexylene glycol are not available. However, the genotoxicity studies provide no evidence of a carcinogenic potential. In animal studies of limited validity, 40 mg/kg body weight and day was found to be the NOEL for systemic toxicity after oral administration of the substance. The critical effect of hexylene glycol, however, is the eye irritation, which was observed in animals treated with the undiluted substance. Hexylene glycol does not seem to be a very powerful eye irritant as 25 % solutions were not irritating. In an early study, eye irritation developed in most of the 12 male and female test persons exposed for 15 minutes to hexylene glycol vapour in a concentration of 50 ppm (approximately equivalent to the saturation concentration at 25°C). No NOEL was determined in this study. The eye irritation seems not to have been very severe, a fact which is also suggested by the steepness of the dose-response curve seen in the Draize test data. The MAK value was established provisionally at 10 ml/m3. Because the eye irritation was not severe, for the restriction of exposure peaks hexylene glycol was classified in Peak limitation category I with an excursion factor of 2. Then, even during the permissible peak concentrations up to 20 ml/m3, no marked irritation is expected. Because of the lack of adequate data for the irritant potential of hexylene glycol, the MAK value must be considered provisional and requires confirmation in further studies. Assuming that 100 % of the inhaled substance is absorbed, exposure to concentrations in the range of the MAK value could result in a daily dose of 7.5 mg/kg body weight which is still below the NOEL determined in animal studies with oral administration, assuming 100 % absorption here too. As there are no reproductive toxicity studies, hexylene glycol is listed in Section II of the List of MAK and BAT Values. The sensitizing potential is low and so the substance is not designated with an "Sh". The solubility of the substance suggests that it would be readily absorbed through the skin, but as the toxicity after repeated dermal application to experimental animals is low, the substance is not designated with an "H"”. -This DNEL was derived using the NOAEL of 450 mg/kg/day from a 90-day oral toxicity study in rats conducted according to OECD test guideline 408 by oral route (Fabreguettes, 1999a), after a route to route extrapolation (oral-to-inhalation x 1/1.15 m3/kg). The absorption by inhalation is expected to be of the same order than the absorption by oral route. -This DNEL was derived using the NOAEL of 450 mg/kg/day from a 90-day oral toxicity study in rats conducted according to OECD test guideline 408 by oral route (Fabreguettes, 1999a), after a route to route extrapolation (oral-to-dermal, x 50%/5%). The oral and dermal absorptions are estimated to be 50 and 5% respectively. -This DNEL was derived using the NOAEL of 450 mg/kg/day from a 90-day oral toxicity study in rats conducted according to OECD test guideline 408 by oral route (Fabreguettes, 1999a). -FAQ on Brussels Ghost Tour - Find your answer here ! -What should I bring for the tour? -Nothing special, just be ready to walk for bit and potentially something to protect you from poltergeists and rain.

He’s spent thousands of hours in rinks with teenagers in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, to grizzled pros in Europe. -And he knows how to win. -During the 1992-93 season, he led the Acadia University men’s hockey team to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championship at the storied Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. -But nothing compared to what he felt on Feb. 26 of this year. -On that day, Coolen helped lead the St. Thomas University men’s volleyball team to the Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association championship as co-coach. -STU was the underdog in the match against Holland College, as a team made up of mostly first-year players taking on the top-ranked team. -The team moved on to the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association national championships. They finished last in the tournament of eight teams last weekend, outmatched against squads from Ontario and Quebec. -But for a team that sat out last season due to a hazing suspension and had to rebuild from scratch, an ACAA championship was more than what anyone could have expected. -“With the team being [suspended], I looked at it that we were a new team and this was a fresh start. It was a new beginning to the program. -It was that attitude, along with his winning reputation, that brought a professional hockey coach to STU to co-coach a rookie team of volleyball players. -Coolen grew up in Halifax and played baseball in the Canada Games. After that, he went on to an Atlantic University Sport football career. -But hockey is the sport that has taken up much of his life. -With a desire to keep playing in some form, Coolen started his hockey coaching career as an assistant coach with the University of New Brunswick men’s hockey team, then called the Red Devils, in 1982-83. -Coaching took him all over the world, from the U.S. college circuit to Switzerland and Germany. -But his credentials go beyond the rink. -With master’s degrees in athletic coaching and counselling, Coolen is one of only two people in the province certified by the Canadian Sports Psychology Association. -He now splits his time scouting major junior games for NHL Central Scouting and teaching at a school in Doaktown, N.B. -Last fall, he met with STU athletics director Mike Eagles to talk about rebuilding the men’s volleyball program. Eagles was interested in seeing if Coolen’s son, Patrick, would play for STU. -He also wanted to see if Coolen would guide the team with rookie co-coach Francis Duguay. -“He felt I had a lot of success as a university coach. I think he felt that would be a good place to start. -“I was familiar with the volleyball, that age level of kids entering university because I had been involved with the under-18 team [as] general manager. -They decided Duguay would handle the on-court coaching and run practices, while Coolen would handle the administrative side and provide general guidance on things like how to handle players. -As the season wore on, Coolen helped focus and motivate the young team. -At Christmas, the team added Coolen’s son, Patrick, and veteran Andrew Keddy to the team. The libero and setter would be important keys to winning the championship, logging big minutes during the ACAA weekend. -In addition to having talent, Coolen knew the key to the team’s success would be taking the program seriously. -The week before the championship weekend, Coolen used his sports psychology training to help the team get ready physically and mentally for the challenge ahead of them, starting with practicing at 100 per cent every day. He believes you play how you practice. -Much of the roster can play at least another three years at STU if they want to, but Coolen isn’t sure he’ll be there to guide them next season. -“I came in to establish it and get it started. -May 10 Deadline for camp applications. After this date, contact the camp office about openings (please don't hesitate---we may have some!).

The client is able to get real time details, information, and action on their account. This tool really projects an agency into the innovative world. With everyone, especially younger people, going to their smartphones to get things done, having Applied CSR24 really integrates your agency into their lives. -As with anything new, this program will need tweaks and adjustments. But overall it is off to a fantastic start. Applied is great with implementing new ideas, suggestions, and improvements on a regular basis. -I would 100% recommend this product to you. Even though it is not perfect, Applied is constantly taking feedback and improving this tool. With the way people do business in the world, CSR24 is honestly a fantastic tool to take your agency to the next level. -Using CSR24, your agency will profit by having a tool for the client to use directly. Instead of having a person take a phone call, email, or request directly from the insured. The client can go into CSR24 and request a change, download a policy, and do so many things that the live CSR would usually do. With every improvement made to CSR24, it is less that your employees will have to do in the office. -"Great product for clients- convenient for Applied users" -The client interface is very easy to navigate and requires minimal training. The ease of renewing certificates is also a useful component- especially when it comes to emailing them out of CSR24. -Not enough integration with Applied Epic- would be useful to have information loaded into CSR24 to transfer back into Epic the way it does the other direction. Some other little tweaks I'd make, but overall, does a great job at file transmission to clients and giving them COI issuing capabilities. -This solves the issue of policy transmission via email- instead of having to send encrypted emails (which everyone hates) we are able to send those documents through a secure server. It will end up saving CSRs time at renewal of certificates as well. It's given us the added benefit of saving paper also- emailing more and more certificates and mailing less. -What Other Insurance solution do you use? -"Is a great way for your insureds to access material on their own without you. It is a huge timesaver" -I love how the insureds can go on and print a certificate themselves. This really helps with bigger accounts that need a certificate everyday. It helps save time and the insured like it because they have some control themselves. They can also see there polices, auto ID cards, and more! -It is kind of complicated to figure out at first. It is not the easier system to use. I believe the software itself can be easier to understand and easier to use, for the insured and the agency. -I would recommend this product. Again, it saves so much time and the insurer really likes being able to go in when they want to look at something. -It really saves with time, which is super important to us. We get a lot loss phone calls on easy stuff like certificates and we can spend more time on helping other customers and quoting more. -"Decent program for COI needs" -I like that the customer is able to request COI's. I also enjoy the fact that previous COI's and holders are easily accessible and easily changed. It is great being able to send a certificate by fax or email right from the system. No more having to save the document and them email. You can get it done in one swoop. Pretty user friendly as well. -I dislike having to set up an evidence from the start, There are many components that have to be manually entered, which can be time consuming. -I am solving the issue of having multiple certificate requests to complete and being able to easily complete them and send them by fax or email without having to leave my desk. -I dislike the user friendliness. Includes a good amount of extra steps in creating evidences and certificates. -Work on user friendliness and elimination of steps. -We are solving how we issue and request certificates and evidences. -I absolutely love CSR24. It has made life so much easier! -I dislike the delay in dropping files in Applied and them appearing in CSR24. -"Awesome Syatem for issuing COI’s" -Allows clients to issue coi’s if need be. Also renewal of coi’s are a breeze. -Needs detailed training to run not easy to use without any training. -Sends renewal coi’s out electronicslly wirh fax or email address therefore saving postage. -* We monitor all Applied CSR24 reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. Validated reviews require the user to submit a screenshot of the product containing their user ID, in order to verify a user is an actual user of the product. -Hi there!

In 2009 she helped us update the graphics on our website, and created an internal communications guide for outbound communication consistency across the consortium. This year Beth is responsible for writing content, implementing our email campaigns and distributing press announcements; these are all critical components in managing relationships and communicating with our partner companies and sponsors. -“While I was CEO of the Chase Group, I hired Beth to run the numerous day-to-day functions of event and tradeshow planning. I knew she could hit the ground running because of her industry background; I got to see her firsthand while she was a client at SEMI. Very detailed-oriented and conscientious, Beth helped eBay – one of our biggest clients – save over $100,000 on a custom tradeshow kiosk. This project required custom fabrication as well as overcoming unique shipping challenges using industry knowledge and connections. -During the pre-planning for our Power Seller Awards Dinner for eBay and Paypal, Beth used her diplomatic skills to successfully negotiate with eight of the top restaurants in San Francisco. Great at follow through, she arranged multiple menus ensuring high quality while keeping costs within budget and delivering everything on time. -“I’ve known Beth for 10 years when we did work at IDEMA and for eBay at The Chase Group. She’s amazing with details, deadlines and event management. She makes sure that nothing falls through the cracks and there are no surprises onsite. -Most recently, we managed a chapter event for the International Association of Exhibitions and Events. Taking initiative for all the social media communication for our event, Beth wrote all the messaging including invitations, curriculum, and background information to draw the 20+ attendees. -“I’ve hired Beth many times over the years at SEMI because of her skill and knowledge. Our division focuses on environmental health, safety and sustainability issues, supporting 2000 corporate clients worldwide. Responsible communicating with over 5,000 professionals in our membership, Beth also managed our contact database and event coordination for our tradeshows. She’s done everything related to logistics, ensuring we have everything needed for specific seminars or programs, to pre- and post-planning. -“I’ve known Beth for years and she helped IDEMA with the DISKCON USA Tradeshow in 2009. Her background with tradeshow and event management is impressive. Always reliable, Beth knows exactly what needs to be done. When I was unexpectedly ill the day before our event, Beth stepped in. Because she’s cool under pressure and keeps a strategic head on her shoulders, I didn’t worry about anything. I knew I could rely on her to take care of everything. -1) The development of screw conveyor can be divided into two process, shaft type auger conveyor and shaftless type auger conveyor. -a. Shaft type auger conveyor consists of screw, U type trough, cover plate, inlet, outlet and drive device, which has three types of installation mode, horizontal, inclined and vertical mounting. -b. Shaftless type auger conveyor uses shaftless spiral blade to replace screw, and U type trough is equipped with replaceable lining. The structure of shaftless type auger conveyor is simple, the material is fed into inlet and moving towards outlet by spiral blades. The whole conveying process is made in a fully closed trough. -2) GX type auger conveyor is appeared in early phase of screw conveyor and is the earliest universal equipment in China. It mainly transports powdery, granular and small lumpy material, and is not suitable to convey perishable, viscous, easily caked and large chunks of material, because these material are easy to bond on the spiral blades, or block at the position of hanger bearing, which will cause inconvenience to the transportation process. The advantages of GX screw conveyor are energy-saving, low consumption, dust prevention, good sealing, low noise, well-adapted, easy operation and maintenance, flexible arrangement of the positions of inlet and outlet. The disadvantages are huge power consumption, quick wearing of conveyor parts, serious material crushing in the transportation process. -3) LS type auger conveyor is new generation of screw conveyor, which is designed and improved on the basis of GX type auger conveyor. The advantages are novel structure, reliable performance, advanced technology, wide range of application, significant energy saving and consumption reducing. -1) Large capacity, high speed and long service life. -2) Low energy consumption. Most of the energy for screw conveyor is spent on abrasion. -3) Intelligent development. The future auger conveyor should be closely connected with computer. It will be suitable for program control and intelligent operation. The material handling, equipment installation and maintenance should be intelligent management. -4) Screw conveyor can be curved transportation. -5) Combined, compound and large-scale transportation mode. Screw conveyors are co-used with various kinds of continuous conveying equipments to finish complicated material handling. Large-scale transportation includes large capacity, the length of single conveyor and high angle conveying, etc. -6) To expand the scope of application. At present, the usage range of auger conveyor is restricted. The scope of application should be expanded, to design the auger conveyors that can be operated in corrosive, radioactive, flammable material environment in the condition of high and low temperatures, as well as the conveyors which can transport molten, explosive, easily coking and viscous materials. -7) To design auger conveyor using environmental awareness, and reduce the pollution to achieve the goal of green design. -PK Machinery is a professional manufacturer of vibrating screen, screw conveyor, belt conveyor, bucket elevator and scraper conveyor, further information, please click:www.pkmachinery.com. -Hello! Welcome to Luckstruck--sterling silver jewelry with a gothic Western feel. Laid back and badass, featuring vintage glass cabochons and my signature handmade silver roses. -Please excuse the somewhat gnarly hands in the photos--those are the hands that make the jewelry. :) Most items are made to order, so please allow three to five business days before they ship. -Though you won't receive the exact item pictured, it will be the same design. I make hundreds of little silver roses but each one turns out just a little bit differently. Kinda like snowflakes, I guess. The beauty of handmade is that each item might have its own little idiosyncrasy. -Buying a gift? Just let me know in the "note to seller" section at checkout where to send it and if you'd like me to include a note to the recipient. -If you have any questions, just shoot me a convo! -These are fantastic stackers! I love all the options, and now I have several choices. I did get a size bigger than normal in order to stack them...a whole size bigger but it was worth it. Fast shipping. Thank you! -Last day to order for Valentine's Day is February 1! -Finally getting around to photographing all the new earring styles I've been taking to shows but hadn't listed in my shop. Whew. Wish me luck. -Quality time in the studio. -I'm a tool junkie. I get it from my dad. -Each order comes ready for gift giving (or keeping for yourself). -Hey. I’m Lisa. I make things. I collect things. I have a lot of cats. -I graduated in 2008 from the University of Kansas with a degree in jewelry design and metalsmithing. Fun fact: It’s the oldest program of its kind west of the Mississippi. I read that in the course catalog once and I’ve repeated it dozens of times. I will probably continue to do so. -You know how most people change their major at least once? I never did. Kinda surprising, especially when you consider that a) I didn't take a single art class in high school and b) I picked jewelry/metalsmithing from a list on the back of a postcard KU sent me. My last semester, I took a letterpress class and made my own graduation announcements. On the back is a quote from Marilyn da Silva which reads, "Some people are said to have been born with a silver spoon. I am convinced that I was born with the hammer, to make the silver spoon, which makes me even luckier." Pure, Grade A awesomeness right there, folks. -I've been a maker my entire life. My mom's mom taught her to sew and my mom taught me. I joined 4-H when I was old enough and made clothes for the fair each year. It's kind of mind-blowing that I've been sewing for over twenty years. My dad was always working on our family home, which originally belonged to his grandmother. From the two of them, I learned how to do it myself before DIY was even a "thing". :) When I was a freshman in high school, I was bound and determined to take woodworking instead of Spanish, despite the reservations of my high school counselor. I later took Spanish, but woodworking has proven to be the most helpful in my daily life, hands down. -If you've got the time or interest, here's a blog post featuring my wedding a couple years ago: http://emmalinebride.com/real-weddings/handmade-wedding-diy-details/ I made my dress, the bridesmaids' dresses, my husband's clothes, our jewelry, invites... It was a crazy, crazy time in my life and called upon nearly every skill I have. Ha ha. -My parents have taken me to flea markets since I was little, so I've had a lifelong appreciation of old things. I especially take inspiration from vintage western imagery as well as Victorian jewelry and symbolism. You'll see a lot of "lucky" symbols...hence my shop name. I am obsessed with horseshoes but I don’t like horses all that much. One chewed on my ponytail at 4-H camp and I’ve never fully forgiven the species. -Many of my pieces showcase vintage glass cabochons. Most of them are what’s called a “reverse intaglio.” The cabochons have a design molded into the back, which is then painted. They're a poor man's version of Essex crystals, some of which are incredible. Google it. You won't regret it. -I recycle whatever I can, in and out of the studio. Your purchase might be mailed in a reused bubble envelope and padded with tissue paper. The gift box itself will be new, but is made of 77% post-consumer fiber. -This comment was posted to reddit on Jul 10, 2018 at 10:59 am and was deleted within 15 minutes. -I dont have any midi to cv modules but i figured out that i could use my Minibrute as a sort of bridge between my DAW and my Eurorack. All i had to do was connect my minibrute to my daw (via usb) and it reads as a midi device. I then sent the midi sequence i wrote in my DAW to the minibrute which automatically converts it to cv/oct and gate outputs for my eurorack. -I used the MI Braids as my sound source for all 3 sequence patches and recorded them one by one(the viola bass patch is what is being played live). I used a lil bit of a sine wave lfo for the flute/clarinet patches to give the tremolo sound that those instruments naturally have. I also used some low pass filtering and fx processing with all 3 tracks. -Anyways, hope you dig it! -A life reinsurer are seeking to hire a Senior Actuarial Manager to manager a team responsible for the group's Solvency II reporting processes and activities.

Most people in Memphis and Birmingham go to the Gulf when they go to the beach, but we always go to the Atlantic with my family. I figured we should take advantage of the upside of the longer drive and give them a little something to remember. It started with a long walk to the beach, carrying their boards. -They patiently learned all the things you need to learn on the beach. They did safety exercises and practiced good posture. They tried a few things from just a few yards out, getting a feel for the board under their feet. Then we watched as the instructor led them out far from the shore. -Then there are the few seconds you have to find your balance as you try to get on your feet. I wish you could see the delight on Kate’s face when she realized she was really surfing. -Trying new things is not easy. Watching Kate and Lexi learn to surf was thrilling and frightening and humbling all at once. -The whole experience made me start thinking about this latest round of job hunting. It’s hard to put myself out there and be willing to fail. But like a child who dreams of catching a wave and popping up onto her feet, I must be prepared to fall and to let the waves beat me. Only then will I know the true delight of doing what I only hoped I could. Thankful for these two, parenting them is a constant education. -Happy Birthday to Lexi who is SEVEN today! She is full of life and navigates all kinds of situations with ease: diligent in the classroom, tenacious on the soccer field, fun with friends. I am proud to be her mom. -What was the best thing about being 6? Starting first grade. -What are you most proud of learning? How to do cartwheels. -What was the best book you read? The one I am reading right now, Absolutely Lucy by Ilene Cooper. -What is your favorite song? I like too many to choose. -What is your favorite tv show? Shake it Up! -What are you looking forward to about being 7? Going to the beach on vacation. -What college do you want to go to? I’m only seven, Mom. -Do you think you’ll get married when you grow up? Have any kids? Yes, I think I’ll get married and have one kid. -What do you want to be when you grow up? A rockstar when I am a teenager and a veterinarian when I am an adult. -I’ve been applying for jobs for a while. Applying for jobs is one of the anxiety-producing, dehumanizing and frustrating things I have ever encountered. Every single job application is an opportunity to feel like fourth grade kickball — never picked first. -I woke up this morning, ate a bowl of cereal, drank some coffee and culled through emails. Then I started through my list of job seeking websites. All of the sudden, I had a feeling deep in my bones. If I don’t try, I am already rejected. I’m on a roller coaster that only goes up. Instead of feeling like I was opening myself up for rejection, I felt like I was opening myself up to new opportunities. -It has been refreshing and lovely. Hoping this feeling sticks around for a little while. -Adult Open Hip Hop- All 10 classes discount $195 Drop in Rate: $23 available at the front desk. -She has taught the French Language continuously for decades and has been in Seattle teaching French for Highline Community College for the past for 11 years.

Blossomgame moved into the top 20 in Clemson history in career scoring, surpassing 1,300 points. Clemson moved to 7-2 with the win, while SC State dropped to 2-8 overall. In all, the Tigers had four scorers in double figures, including Shelton Mitchell (14), Donte Grantham (13) and Avry Holmes (10). The Tigers had just two turnovers for the game, the second-lowest figure in program history. Clemson had 17 assists on 36 baskets and outscored the Bulldogs by a whopping 52-28 margin in the paint. Blossomgame provided early energy, going upstairs to land a couple of high-flying alleyoops. He posted 15 of his points before intermission, helping Clemson to a lead of as many as 13 in the opening frame. The Tigers saw SC State hang around, as the Bulldogs converted 50 percent of their field goal attempts in the opening 20 minutes of play. Clemson stretched its second-half advantage to 20 for the first time when Grantham emphatically followed a Holmes miss, throwing down a one-handed slam to bring the crowd to its feet. The Tigers take to the road against a pair of SEC foes, playing Alabama on Sunday, Dec. 18 in Birmingham, before facing rival South Carolina three days later in Columbia. -“This was a really good offensive performance.

But, sometimes kids need more than school supplies to face the exciting and challenging situations the upcoming year holds. That’s why Hallmark has created a back-to-school confidence checklist! -Let them hold onto your words. Kids often get embarrassed when parents say “I love you” in front of their friends. Think about sticking a card in their backpack or inside a textbook, so they can find it later and hold onto it all day. -Surprise your child with a lunchtime delight. Fruits and veggies will help a kid be physically fit, but don’t forget about a child’s emotional wellness. The unexpected “I love you” or “good luck” will let your child know you’re by their side, even after they get on the school bus. -Pass the encouragement bug around your family. Challenge the entire family to support each other by passing around the encouragement bug — Hallmark’s Bug ‘Em. One person starts by filling Bug ‘Em with treats, a coupon to do something nice (e.g., make their sibling’s bed) or a kind note of encouragement, and then leaves Bug ‘Em where the recipient will find it. Once the recipient finds Bug ‘Em, he or she is charged with surprising another family member and spreading the encouragement bug. -We have done the homework for you and want to give you a jumpstart on the school year. -*BONUS* Hallmark Recordable Storybook - Recordable Storybooks allow you to record your voice, and your little ones can read along with you even if you’re far away. They are also great for encouraging your kids to read and building confidence for reading aloud! -Print your Quiznos coupons before they are gone! -Decoding Coupon Barcodes - Is It Wrong? -I was shopping in Harris Teeter yesterday and ran into an interesting situation. Because I am often recognized at the stores, people always ask me questions. I am more than happy to help. However, when I have to tell someone their doing something "Wrong" I feel bad. I had to deal with that yesterday. -First of all, I was asked if there was a way to read the coupon bar code to see if they can use it on other products than what it was intended for. I answered "No, I don't teach that practice". Then I was informed that a customer in the store told them about it and was doing it regularly. I was a little upset about this. Practices like that is the reason stores are tightening up their coupon policies and making it harder for us to get great deals. -Simply put, it is deciphering the bar code on a coupon to see if it will work on different (preferably less expensive) items. -Look at coupon barcode decoding this way: It is like using counterfeit money to pay for your purchase! Although the cashier may not notice you are paying with a counterfeit bill, it will eventually reveal itself and the store looses out. A coupon is a form of payment and by not getting what the coupon says it is for is the same as paying with counterfeit money. -So, please read your coupons, get exactly what it says it is for and follow the parameters given by the coupon. Please don't use the barcode to determine what you can get because you know the register won't beep. Just because the register does not beep, does not mean that it is OK. -There are plenty of other websites and blogs that teach this practice and believe that it is OK. Please Be Aware! They believe they are right and have no problem teaching others to do the same. Taking advantage of a glitch in the bar code to get around the text of the coupon is fraud. -Located on the sugary shores of the Banderas Bay, and surrounded by the beautiful mountains of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range, rests Dreams Villamagna in Puerto Vallarta.

Our outside events must ends at 10:00 pm.

There are conferences dedicated to it (such as SMX Social) and different aspects of if (such as the upcoming Blog World Expo). There are blogs dedicated to it such as Pete Cashmore’s Mashable, and there are portions of forums dedicated it to it as well like on Cre8asite Forums. All of these talk about Social Media and their individual parts, however it’s rare that any of these actually talk about incorporating Social Media as part of an overall strategy for online marketing. -To look as Social Media as a boost for you SEO, quite frankly, is foolish. Social Media touches so many other aspects of an online marketing strategy. It isn’t just about gaining links to raise your PR or even your ranking in the results on Google, Yahoo, Live or Ask. If that is the sole reason to use social media, you might want to start thinking about finding another “quick fix”. Soon enough, the search engines will probably take a hard look at the effect of social media and will start devaluing the power links from places like Digg have (there are some reports that this has already begun to happen). -So if the search engines start devaluing the links from these big well known social media hubs like Digg, Reddit, and StumbleUpon, what is and SEO to do. Well if you are just and “SEO” and not an online marketer, it’s off to make sure that website is fully optimized. If you are an online marketer, you probably have already seen the value beyond SEO for Social Media. -Beyond the mass amount of links that a successful social media campaign can provide there are several other areas that Social Media touches within an internet marketing strategy. -PPC – When Social Media is strategically combined with PPC it can effectively reduce the cost of some campaigns. If you are advertising in the content network, utilizing social media can help you cut back on some of those costs. It’s a matter of watching your analytics closely in this case, as Social Media is not a replacement for PPC, it can certainly help to reduce some of the costs. -Branding – Social Media is a great place to work with branding measures. If your company is new, and you need to get the word out in a cheap, efficient way, social media is the place to start. Talking to your audience, participating in a niche community, speaking to people who are already interesting in the type of product or service your offer all are a great way to get the conversation started. -The list above demonstrates just a few ways that shows Social Media isn’t just a stand alone strategy. It needs to be worked into an full online marketing plan if you want to have the successful results you are hoping for. Understanding how every aspect interrelates is just as important with social media as it is with working PPC and SEO together. Having an experienced online marketer who understands all aspects is going to be key to your strategy, the last thing you want to do is leave this in the hands of an intern. So take the time and not only plan, but budget for social media, make it a part of the strategy all on its own, not just a part of SEO. -This entry was posted in Social Media and tagged marketing plan, Online Marketing, online plans, Social Media, strategies, strategy by Liana "Li" Evans.

But as the stories of Serena Williams, Lauren Bloomstein, and many others published over the past year show, the very real threat of complications has made giving birth in America more scary than exciting. -The US has the highest rate of maternal mortality in the developed world; in 2015, 26.4 out of every 100,000 live births resulted in maternal mortality. That’s more than three times the rate in Canada, four times the rate in Japan, and nearly five times as high as Australia’s. Further, women in certain states and regions of the US, and especially African American women, face extremely high rates of maternal mortality. -The session featured Dr. Carol Sakala, Director of Childbirth Connection Programs at the National Partnership for Women & Families; Nan Strauss, Director of Policy and Advocacy at Every Mother Counts; Dr. Steven Calvin, Medical Director of the Minnesota Birth Center; and Dianna Jolles, faculty at Frontier Nursing University and practitioner at El Rio Community Health Center. -The panelists pointed out that both overuse and underuse are prevalent in maternity care. Many women, especially those in rural areas, do not have easy access to maternal care. Additionally, high rates of obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure (which are often untreated) create a greater risk of complications for American mothers. -But at the same time, too many unnecessary interventions are being done during childbirth. The rate of cesarean sections in the US is about 32%, much higher than the rate recommended by the World Health Organization. C-section rates also vary widely across states. Why is there so much geographical variation? Diana Jolles explained that whether a mother has a c-section is not always dependent on medical need, but can depend on the hospital or clinic’s access to resources, payer source, and provider practice styles. -Carol Sakala echoed this point in her presentation of the NPWF “State of the Science” on maternity care. Much of the obstetrics field is focused on the “rescue” of high-risk pregnancies, but this misses the chance to prevent complications in the first place, said Sakala. At the same time, we use specialized care for low-risk pregnancies unnecessarily, which can be harmful. -In many of the stories of preventable maternal harm or near-harm, there is a prevalent theme of the patient not being heard. There are stories where the patient was highly educated, knew exactly what was wrong, had the same complication before, or even had a medical degree themselves, and doctors still ignored the patient when she insisted that something was wrong. -One way to combat this dangerous and frustrating problem is by integrating support from a midwife and doula, said Nan Strauss. Midwives and doulas provide different but complimentary services (midwives are licensed health care providers that provide prenatal, labor, and post-partum support, while doulas provide non-clinical physical and emotional support during birth). -Having continuous, one-on-one support from another person is associated with increased likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth, reduced likelihood of a cesarean birth, and reduced negative feelings about childbirth, compared with just having physician care. “The goal is to put the person at the center of the equation,” said Strauss. -The US is lagging behind other countries in maternal care, but several states are taking steps to change that. Recently, governor Andrew Cuomo of New York announced a pilot program allowing Medicaid to reimburse patients for doula services, making New York the third state to expand Medicaid coverage for doulas. -Stuebe and others recently released a statement from a task force of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, urging doctors to make postpartum care an “ongoing process, rather than a single encounter, with services and support tailored to each woman’s individual needs.” Statements like these are long overdue, as are steps to facilitate continuous support and reduce unnecessary interventions during birth. -When it comes to determining total cost of ownership (TCO), it is vital for organisations to be able to place a single value on the complete lifecycle of a capital purchase. In the retail space, this means implementing a robust and repeatable system that enables the business to calculate the TCO of its IT, Logistics and Property investments. -As one of South Africa’s largest retailers, the Foschini Group (TFG) found that the size and complexity of its businesses required a particularly robust, granular model to charge back the shared service costs for its various brands. -The Foschini Group currently offers an impressive portfolio of 28 retail brands covering clothing and footwear (including brands such as Foschini, Markham, Exact and Due South), jewellery (Sterns, American Swiss, Mat &May), sportswear (Sportscene, and Totalsports) and homeware (@home, @homelivingspace) and retails through over 2 600 stores across sub-Saharan Africa. -It was essential for TFG to gain visibility into a more accurate return on capital employed (ROCE) per brand, such as determining Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) after shared services cost allocations for each of the 28 brands, rather than relying on this metric at a consolidated Group level alone, explains Marlize van der Westhuizen, Head of Finance: Infotec and Logistics Divisions at TFG. -“Since TFG had no real cost transparency solution and a very limited charge-back model to its various brands, the group clearly required not only the right solution, but also the relevant expertise to introduce an effective cost transparency discipline into the enterprise. For this, we turned to Magic Orange, which was able to assist us with both consulting services and the actual implementation of the chosen solution,” she says. -“The first requirement was to create a complete product and service catalogue, which the Magic Orange team assisted to build from scratch, based on relevant business input from the various areas in scope. Furthermore, the existing models for the allocation of costs were very limited and not consistently based on operational drivers. This meant that every product and service required a driver to be sourced and incorporated into the Magic Orange model. In addition to the development of these drivers, the implementation included training ensuring employees understood both the nature and fairness of the drivers.,” explains Malcolm Stewart, Business Development Manager at Magic Orange. -“The first phase focused on the customer’s IT and Logistics budget stack – an individual stack that nonetheless had a substantial budget. This core model was delivered in a mere eight weeks, despite being driven from a zero base,” Stewart states. -Van der Westhuizen adds that reciprocal charging was properly modelled and catered for, and fully loaded and accurate TCOs for products and services across the organisation were also made available. Finally, scenario modelling was also implemented, which enabled multiple scenarios, including a range of different budgets, actuals and forecast data, to be loaded. This will assist TFG in making both strategic and tactical decisions. -“In the end though, the two biggest game changers for us were the manner in which Magic Orange brought together the cost transparency and a credible recharge model based on consumption of services opposed to just a cost allocation model. This will further assist us in optimizing costs and an important step to calculate ROCE at a brand level. The Magic Orange team fully delivered on our challenges and exceeded our expectation in the way their experts understand and care for our business success,” concludes van der Westhuizen. -A few days before Christmas 2018 I travelled up to Buckinghamshire and the lovely little town of Amersham for Sarah & Neil's wedding at the quaint Kings Chapel, set in the grounds of the larger Kings Arms on the High St. Despite the drizzle and cloud, the couple and their guests were in fine spirits! The main room was decked out with fairy lights and a nice big Christmas tree in the corner, and after the ceremony and confetti throw the staff quickly changed it all around for the speeches and cake cut. Sarah & Neil's first dance was one of the most creative I've seen this year - they had a whole routine worked out and put on quite the show for their guests! Before I left I took the couple back outside for some creative photos in front of the chapel and amongst the fairy lights in the trees. What a fab way to end 2018! -One of the great things about being a wedding photographer is it can take you all over the country, and even further afield sometimes! I've been to Buckinghamshire a few times for weddings in the past, and oddly it's always in the colder months of the year. Knowing that the roads would likely be packed with people travelling just before Christmas, I allowed extra time for the 2 hour journey. Sadly as usual the M25 was horrendous and despite the extra time I finally arrived at Kings Chapel in Amersham half an hour after I planned. -I still had plenty of time before the 4pm ceremony, but I wanted to make the most of the fading natural light and get as much done as possible - even with a bit of drizzle coming down. The ceremony itself was lovely and the room had a nice clean feel - made all the most Christmassy by the big tree in the corner! The confetti tunnel afterwards was great fun and we went straight into the formal photos up on the mezzanine style balcony, along with some of the newlyweds amongst the warm glow of the fairylights. -The staff at Kings Chapel quickly turned the ceremony room around, and it really did look beautiful. The speeches were, as always, a bit of an event. Lots of great little stories and anecdotes, and a few tears too. But it was the first dane that really blew my mind! Sarah & Neil kept this a secret but I managed to get it out of Neil with just enough time to set up lights. It was going to be dramatic and I wanted to capture it all in the best way! -They launched into a great choreographed number and everyone was in fits of laughter, cheering them both on, before they dragged their children onto the dance floor to join them, as everyone else got involved too. It made for some great photographs, some of my favourites from the day - especially Neil lifting Sarah up into the air and spinning her around! -Just before I left I wanted to get some more outdoor photos of the two of them, something I don't always get the chance to do at summer weddings as it's often still light outside. The perfect round off to their special day as I headed home to enjoy the festive break. If you've booked Kings Chapel for your wedding in Buckinghamshire, or indeed another venue in the Home Counties or the Southeast in general, I'd love to talk more about your photography plans!

That way, if the two ends don’t come together perfectly, the imperfection will be concealed when propped up and no one will likely see it. -In this case, I attached the trim to one inside RIGHT side of one piece of sweater cut. This will make it easier to attache the other piece of sweater because the trim won’t shift as much. -Pin the second sweater cut over the first (right sides together) and stitch around the edge. -Turn inside out, fold pillow in half and stuff inside the new form and then hand stitch the opening closed. -I think the faux mink adds just the right amount of fancy-schmancy to this simple sweater pillow project. -Yup, it’s that easy… and for a fraction of the price you may find at a big retailer. -So, start looking around for those sweaters. -In town or in the country, these beige ankle boots are the real deal!

The exhibit will feature the art of three established graffiti artists from two well-known crews: Xplode CBS, Boise CBS, Booh AWR; and collaborative work by Rob Carmona, Naomi Altamirano and Brandon Cisneros. -Graffiti, originating as an ancient practice of visual communication, exploded in the United States in the early 1970’s. Often associated with vandalism and gang activity, “AEROSOL,” will educate the public on the richness and complexity of the art form, and the misconceptions of those who created it. An exhibit of this nature is especially significant in Orange County since graffiti is scarce here, and “AEROSOL” therefore offers the rare opportunity to see outstanding graffiti art in a local environment. The artists are presenting works that transcend time and space to share the legacy of graffiti from the streets to its impact in design, illustration and experimental art. -In addition to traditional media, the gallery is featuring footage of the artist’s creations on walls, in order to commemorate the exciting yet unfortunate aspect of graffiti: its transient nature. The exhibiting artists have been working in this medium from as young as 10 years of age, citing early inspiration from exposure to the urban landscape of Los Angeles, the Cartoon Network, Disney, Atari games, Hip-Hop culture, Punk, anti-authoritarian expressions of free-will, artists ranging from Michelangelo to Salvador Dali, and even fashion, cars and design. We invite you to experience the world of graffiti. -Much of our work involves guiding public policies to ensure Hawaii residents have choices about the kind of community they want to live in and the type of home they can afford. -In 2012, we launched I Mua Rail, a multi-media campaign designed to engage supporters of Honolulu’s Rail Transit project.

It could not fathom the former Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979. Initially, the policy makers in New Delhi initially tried to find a political way out — gently persuading the Soviet Union to withdraw. India even offered to work with Pakistan to find a political solution. But Pakistan's Zia-ul-Haq refused to oblige. The Cold War politics practiced by the Great Powers in Afghanistan was too complex for India to intervene effectively. -After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, India kept a close watch on Islamabad's game plan. New Delhi's moves such as helping Burhanuddin Rabbani met with extremely limited success. Alarm bells began ringing with the Taliban's arrival on the scene in 1994. India saw a link between the developments in Jammu and Kashmir, the Taliban's creation and the way it was consolidating its position in Afghanistan. India's efforts to sensitise the great powers about this development had no success. After the capture of Kabul in September 1996, India closed down its mission there. -However, as a goodwill gesture to the Afghan people and its long-standing relationship with Kabul, India maintained contacts with the Taliban and the Northern Alliance forces and continued humanitarian assistance to both factions. -The hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight IC-814 to Kandahar on Christmas-eve in 1999 brought a swift change in India's policy towards the Taliban. By the spring of 2000, Pakistan's game plan of trying to divide Afghanistan on ethnic lines was known in the rest of the neighbourhood — Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and India were quick to evolve a commonality of interests. India set itself two tasks: not to allow Afghanistan's territorial integrity to be disturbed under any circumstances; and to strengthen the Northern Alliance to fight the Taliban. India then decided to make its presence felt to beef up the forces of the Northern Alliance. Strategically, making the Turkmenistan capital, Dushanbe, a staging post made a lot of sense as it is close to the Northern Alliance stronghold, Panjshir Valley. A field hospital at Farkhar, near Dushanbe, was established in early 2000. -Simultaneously, the airfields in and around Dushanbe were made operational to ferry equipment to the Northern Alliance. India also began coordinating efforts with the Central Asian Republics. They agreed to be part of the broad front being proposed by India along with Iran. They readily opened their stores of Soviet vintage arms and ammunition and aircraft to the Northern Alliance. -This was also the period during which Ahmed Shah Masood made unannounced visits to India, the last being in May 2001, to refine his strategy in combating the Taliban. In his assessment, the Taliban could not last a single day without Pakistan's military support; and India having fought four wars with Pakistan understood the latter's military machine better than anyone. -Though not conclusively proven, circumstantial evidence shows that the Taliban-Al-Qaeda leadership assumed that eliminating Masood would automatically result in a collapse of the Northern Alliance. In spite of warnings from friendly countries such India, Masood decided to give an interview to an "Algerian" television network during which he was killed. That was on September 9, 2001. -The Taliban-Al-Qaeda underestimated Masood's vision and foresight. Anticipating an eventuality of this type, he groomed three of his close associates — Mohammad Fahim, Abdullah Abdullah and Qanooni. The assassination of Masood did dampen spirits to a certain extent. The September 11, 2001, attacks by the Taliban-Al-Qaeda on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon woke the U.S. from its slumber. The triumvirate — Mr. Qanooni, Mr. Abdullah and Gen. Fahim — proved brilliant in preparing their forces to synchronise their attacks with that of the U.S. They were also aware that the U.S. was unlikely to seek their help. -As late as 2001, one U.S. diplomat in Islamabad dismissed Masood as irrelevant, adding that Washington saw him as part of the problem and not as part of the solution." -As the U.S. war, Operation Enduring Freedom, started on October 7, 2001, though India extended complete support to it, things did not move the way it expected. One of Afghanistan's neighbours, Iran, was more or less excluded from the alliance; and India's intelligence inputs were seen by the U.S. war-planners through the spectrum of India-Pakistan relations. -The Northern Alliance was seen as an appendage of India. The first three weeks of bombing, from October 7 to 28, 2001, produced no tangible results to the U.S. on the ground. The widespread criticism of aimless U.S. bombing and high civilian casualties brought the whole operation under severe criticism. At this point, Indian and Russian intervention made the U.S. war planners see the logic of cooperating with Northern Alliance. In the crucial meeting on October 30, 2001, between the U.S. theatre commander, Gen. Tommy Franks, and the Northern Alliance, an agreement was reached on cooperation between the two. In the subsequent nine days, the Northern Alliance was able to capture Mazar-e-Sharif, and reach the outskirts of Kabul. During this Northern Alliance campaign, nine battalions of the Pakistani armed forces were either decimated or made to flee southwards to safer places. One version of the events was that Pakistani GHQ in Rawalpindi issued orders to its men to rush back to safer places. If this is true, the exodus of so-called Taliban soldiers from Mazar-e-Sharif, Kabul and other areas in early November 2001, as Northern Alliance troops marched in can be attributed to it. -By this time everyone associated with the Northern Alliance including the U.S. itself realised what good fighters the Northern Alliance men were and started admiring Masood's vision in training such a formidable force. On November 13, against the protests from Pakistan, Northern Alliance troops entered Kabul. India on the success of its subtle diplomacy immediately announced the reopening of the Embassy in Kabul. -On the Government that should come in Kabul after the fall of the Taliban, India and the Afghan neighbourhood (with the exception of Pakistan) had well defined objectives from the beginning — it should not have any Taliban or any of its allies/friends/sympathisers anywhere near the corridors of power. -Though some of the extra regional powers and Pakistan try to make the Taliban movement synonymous with the Pashtuns, India always refused to buy this theory. In fact, the Indian debate during that period was that there were lots of groups among the Pashtuns who opposed the Taliban from the beginning. Instead of looking at Afghanistan through the spectrum of ethnicity, all the forces that opposed the Taliban-type of rule should be in the new Government; it should be as broad-based as possible. -This concern remains even now. India should make a long term investment in ensuring that a Taliban-type of government never comes to power again in Afghanistan. In whichever sector the present Afghan Government seeks help, India should respond positively. -The iconic bullpup-style Steyr AUG has been one of the most recognizable rifles in the world since its adoption by the Austrian army in 1977. Now available for civilian use as the Steyr AUG A3 M1, it is a semi-automatic ambidextrous rifle platform with adjustable short-stroke gas-piston operation chambered in 5.56x45mm (.223 Remington). -Length of pull: 15 in. -3 Defenders (O’s) set up triangle zone, lead point towards where the ball is, denying any passes to attackers in the “dangerous space” - central area inside 3 Attackers inside 23m area. -Defenders shift the zone, protecting central area of defence and looking to intercept. -The shape of the defensive zone should change as it shifts side-to-side, depending on ball position and where attackers are. For example, if the ball is on the defensive left side, the back left player in the triangle might push up almost level with the lead point of the triangle (who will be in a more direct line to the ball. -Against a zone, attackers do not need to interchange/switch as much. Instead, attackers should look to find seams in between defenders in the zone to cut back into. -Zone defending should be more efficient for defenders’ movement. Slight adjustments in positioning can cover dangerous passing lanes. -Be aware of attackers switching/interchanging positions. Although staying in a zone structure, defenders must still be aware of dangerous lines and watch for attackers leading out into spaces in between zone. -Installed over 200+ 7450's with ip phones and cameras connected to switches. Currently we have several that are "working" sort of. Essentially POE is working great until I had to replace a camera the other day. Put new one up plugged in no POE, Tested with a Fluke Tester no POE, so I was like weird I guess I'll reboot the stack pull power and maybe that will fix it. Used CLI to check config on port 1/1/8 everything was good enabled and inline power. Still was not working and still not working to this day trying to figure out if there is a POE defect that needs to be updated to fix. It is all ports on the switch not just 2/1/6, 7 ,8. I unplugged a working device and then plugged back in and it would also not come back online with POE. We are using LLDP as well. -Here is running config of stack with issue and poe details. -Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give. -I'm unclear on the steps you've taken so far. Did you try to disable and re-enable inline power on the port? When I've had inconsistent behavior with PoE ports, I'll disable the port, disable inline power to the port, re-enable the port, and re-enable inline power to the port. And usually that fixes the issue unless the hardware itself failed. -Also try another port that you know is working. -As mentioned above, show inline power would be helpful. -Yes to all of the above troubleshooting steps. -Power Capacity: Total is 1496000 mWatts. Current Free is 1082046 mWatts. -Power Capacity: Total is 1496000 mWatts. Current Free is 1158111 mWatts. -As for other troubleshooting steps we have reloaded the switch stack, pulled power from switches, moved to a working poe port and the port we move to also will not work even when plugging back in the old device that was currently working. The only thing I have not tried is to update the poe firmware to a newer version. -And I asked tech support to get in touch, after I released your post from possible SPAM folder due to the length of your config. Case 794153 is your ticket with Ruckus. I'll keep this thread open if you don't mind sharing a 'show inline power' output please? -It seems like it is the first 8 ports but I can confirm plugging into port 10 >> on it would not power the device i get a link from my tester and no power though. resetting the switch usually fixes the issue but this time it didn't. Our current firmware does not allow that command to try it we would need to update our switches in this closet to test this. Thanks for the input Larry. -I would strongly suggest taking a patch, there have been a few POE fixes since 8030h, 8030q is now available. -Hi, I faced same issue before. It was PoE firmware issue which you are using 01.6.7 Build 013. -I solved it by upgrading 1.8.8.b001. You should upgrade boot code and FI image as well. -The simple Club armchair is a comfortable choice by itself, in multiples or combined with the sofa.

Eventually the area transformed from a small agricultural town to a large bedroom community during the 1940s, gaining speed in the 1950s and finally hitting its maximum growth in the early 1970s. Most residents work elsewhere in the greater Los Angeles County area, and although there have been multiple attempts to incorporate or merge with La Puente or Whittier, these attempts have all failed up to this point. -Hacienda Heights has a new community Center, built in the old location of Hillgrove Elementary School (which is was of the oldest elementary schools in Hacienda Heights). -The Community Center opened October 25, 2014. -With a large multipurpose room and performance center. This venue can be used for performances, wedding receptions, anniversary parties, community group meetings and seminars. -This community center includes "Circles of a Ripple" by artist James Dinh, creating a gathering place for visitors of the community center and park. -• The highest point in Hacienda Heights is found in the Puente Hills (which are relatively geologically new), which is Workman Hill, elevation 1,388 feet (423 meters), just southeast of Turnbull Canyon Road and Skyline Drive. -• Hacienda Heights (as measured from the center) is 11 statute miles (by air) from Disneyland (Anaheim). This makes Anaheim the closest large city (over 250,000) to Hacienda Heights. -• Hacienda Heights is situated next to the relatively newly discovered Puente Hills Fault Line (which is the fault on which the 5.9, 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake took place on). This fault runs from Northern Orange County to just under downtown Los Angeles. -• The Puente Hills are still new (geologically speaking) with the roots of these hills existing somewhere far off the west coast of the ancestral continent of North America. The uplift of the Puente Hills is the result of the Pacific Plate and its parallel movement to the northwest along the North American Plate, Evidence of all three of these subduction events—volcanoes, granite batholiths, and the crustal shavings—are found buried deep beneath the Puente Hills. -• The Los Angeles basin in which the Puente Hills/Hacienda Heights reside began forming in the late Miocene epoch according to Wright, 1991; Ingersoll and Rumelhart, 1999 (see references at the bottom of this page). -Basin subsidence at that time was accommodated by large extensional faults including the Puente Hills/Whittier–Elsinore fault system and the Santa Monica fault system. -In the mid-Pliocene the relative plate motion between the North American plate and the Pacific plate changed to produce overall north–south compression of the basin. This compression led to the development of a series of blind thrust faults in the young sediments of the Los Angeles basin, including the Puente Hills thrust system. -The Coyote Hills, Santa Fe Springs, and Los Angeles faults are the three blind fault segments, with no surface trace, that comprise the Puente Hills thrust system. (See picture above left, please click to enlarge) The potential seismic hazard of these faults to the metropolitan Los Angeles was demonstrated in 1987 when the Santa Fe Springs ruptured in the Magnitude 6.0 Whittier Narrows earthquake. Geologic evidence suggests the Puente Hills thrust system as a whole is capable of generating earthquakes greater than Magnitude 7.0, and has caused four such events over the past 11,000 years. -Please do not let this geological information frighten anyone who is thinking of moving to Hacienda Heights, as all areas have their “potential” issues (such as Tornados in many Midwest locations). My father (who was born in 1932) has lived in the area his whole life and has never suffered a loss from earthquakes. -I will also add that Hacienda Heights is a beautiful and family friendly community that has more of smaller community feel than a suburb in Los Angeles County and I can state I found it a beautiful community to spend my childhood years. -* Wright, T.L., 1991.

But Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis being the most common form of Motor Neuron Disease, it has vaguely become synonymous to its parent classification category. -Diseases are very vaguely placed into this category with inconclusive inclusion and exclusion criteria. Following are the basic disease types that fall under this category or one can say they form this category. -Motor Neuron Diseases are characterised by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration of motor neuron. But as explained earlier that classification is vague, so not all motor neuron degeneratory disorders fall under this category and rather they are placed into a broader category called “Motor Neuron Disease Disorders” example Spinal Muscular Atrophies falls into this broader category. -Lower Motor Neuron Degeneration – Except Primary Lateral Sclerosis, Pseudobulbar Palsy and Monomelic Amyotrophy rest all have LMN involvement. -With or Without Sensory Loss. -Based on combination of above three criterion the pattern is categorised into three major pattern of combination. -MND can present itself in children or in adults. If the onset is during childhood then it’s usually inherited and in most of the cases it is Familial Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis. In adults usually it’s found to affect after age of 40years. -Most of the cases of MND tend to progress during course of time and worsen and in many cases they are even fatal depending on type of MND, say for instance ALS is a fatal type where as PLS is not. -Motor Neuron Disease presents itself in various patterns of muscular weakness due to motor neuron degeneration which can show combination of patterns of symmetric or asymmetric, proximal or distal, focal midline or lateral, with or without sensory loss. Some of the signs and symptoms of Motor Neuron Disease are listed below. -Difficulty in breathing, aggravated while lying down or on exertion. It may also cause respiratory failure. -Cognitive and behavioral changes like decision making, computing, word fluency, memory etc. -Homeopathic Medicine should be selected as per type of Motor Neuron Disease and it’s symptomatology. -"You have a bunch of stuff and still talk about simplicity, what's with that?" -Well, I have accumulated a few things in my life. I used to make a lot of money (relatively speaking). I bought the Mercedes, the toys, the stuff. -I have gotten rid of a lot, and am trying to learn to get rid of the rest. I want to keep only what I need, and maybe a few wants. It is hard. I grew up with little, so when I was making decent money, I wanted to buy the stuff I never had. Over time I have come to the realisation the stuff never made me happy. I found the doing is better than the having. -I have acquired many of the things I have by coincidence or luck. I am not afraid to dumpster-dive. I take my kids if I can, we make it a game. I have stopped on the side of the road to pick up something that someone else is tossing out. My wheelbarrow came from the dump, some guy was tossing it because "it's annoying", whatever that means. -I have traded a lot. Craigslist is my friend when it comes to trading. -Value is the governing factor with the things I possess. I was going to say own, but I don't think I own anything, I just possess it until it leaves my possession. I still have trouble letting go though, some things just have too much potential. -I feel qualified to share my experiences and tips with the world because I am actually doing every one of the steps on my list. I have been unemployed for 16 months (I did work for two months in the middle there). For ten of those months I collected no unemployment benefits. I now am collecting unemployment benefits (I felt that I shouldn't do it, but someone reminded me that it was my money). I am going to school on the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill, and making it work on the little money I get from these two sources. My wife is a nurse and can make good money, but we choose for her to work less so she can be home for the summer with the kids. During the rest of the year she works and we save, we have eliminated most of our bills to make this a possibility. I am now unemployed by choice because juggling school, work, and kids is too much for anyone person and my heart goes out to those that manage to do it. My wife was in that position when we met and I quickly convinced her to stop working and let me handle the money part so she could continue her schooling. I saw how hard it can be, and do not want to do that myself (she is definitely stronger than me). -I like stuff, it is programmed into me from my childhood, from TV, from the outside forces of the media and U.S. culture. I am trying to de-program myself. -Instead of working hard just so we can pay the credit card bills and loans for the stuff we don't need, we work what we need to, just so we can do the things that give us the one thing we truly own, memories. -I've recently started reading your blog after a connection from the Bike Trailer Blog. Your situations sound very similar to mine. I applaud you for continuing education even though it may be hard financially for your family. My wife supported me and worked while I finished my degree, though we didn't have our daughter until I graduated and got my first salary job. Now my wife doesn't work so she can stay home with the little one (18 months). -You also posted about getting rid of your car. This is something I did about 6 months ago. We have one car (Honda CRV) and I bike to work everyday though it's a short 10 blocks. I can say we are just now over the initial regret stage and are enjoying it. I have sacrificed a few things, but I have also gained a few things (non-material). -I have a book recommendation for you since you're talking about getting rid of stuff. "Put Your Life on a Diet". This is a short read by a guy who lives by himself in a small 140 Sq. Ft. trailer. He's not saying you should live in a trailer, but he does have lots of ideas about slimming down not only yourself but everything else in your life. I was very inspired by this and have recently rid my entire house of things that haven't been used in one year (to the tune of about $400). Like you I am also a Craigslist veteran. -I can't say I share your view on tools though. I feel it's less important to have a good set of tools and more important to have a neighbor who has a good set of tools (and a good relationship with such a neighbor). I've cleaned my gutters quarterly using my neighbor's 10 ft. step ladder. -Please try to schedule any personal appointments after camp time. -We cannot guarantee that friends will be in the same group.

It also returned to growth in the U.K. -However, there was no mention in its statement of the one thing many investors want to hear about - a potential deal in Western Europe with John Malone's Liberty Global. The U.K., Germany and Netherlands were the markets identified by Malone as most fertile ground for a tie-up in May, but little has been heard on the deal in recent weeks. -The world's second-largest mobile operator said first-quarter organic service revenue grew 0.8 percent, ahead of the 0.1 percent it recorded in the fourth quarter and better than most analysts had expected. -Vittorio Colao, chief executive of the company, said in a statement: "Our emerging markets have maintained their strong momentum and more of our European businesses are returning to growth, as customer demand for 4G and data takes off," said. -The group reiterated its outlook for the full year. -SS.

When Officer Grasso arrived, two grandparents and their grandchildren were trapped on the balcony of their apartment. -Grasso climbed up to the family and handed the family members down to other officers who were on the ground below. -In all, 28 people were left homeless after the fire destroyed 12 apartments. No one was injured. -The best way to describe my relationship with Cogent Analytics is a memory that I have from about 24 years ago. -My wife encouraged me to go have my eyes checked. Obviously, I needed glasses and I was in denial. After choosing the frames that fit and scratch resistant lens the cost was more than I wanted to spend. -Ultimately, my wife suggested to spend the money on what makes you want to wear them , and built strong enough to last. Make a good investment in a product that allows you to see and do your job effectively. Also, I was an UPS driver during that time of my life and struggled to see numbers on houses. “Necessity is the mother of all inventions” I heard that a time or two. After getting my glasses, the salesman asked if I had ever worn glasses before. My response was, no I have not. The salesman said “this is the part of my job I love the most”. He asked me to look at the door with a sign on it. I think the sign read , employees only. I could only tell him that it was blue in color. He handed me my glasses and ask that I looked at the sign again. As I put the glasses on, I could read it perfectly. What an eye-opening experience for me. -Meeting with Merlin and working with Mick has been the same eye-opening experience for me. I know we have a good product, with hard working employees, but I felt that we needed direction moving forward on better ways to run our business. I’m a firm believer in surrounding yourself with intelligent people. When your plumbing breaks, call a plumber. Our company was leaking from many different areas before we trusted in the process implemented by Mick. -We have a new product for the industry with many hurdles in front of us, but I’m optimistic that we can still land on our feet if we trip up every now and then. I’m confident that the foundation that Mick help lay will keep us stable down the obstacle filled path ahead. -Lavender is one of my favorite herbs for nerve stress and tension. It has a special affinity with women’s spirit. Often thought of as a delicate ornamental, lavender is not only beautiful and aromatic, but pungent and powerful. Native to the Mediterranean, where it grows wild on sun-drenched hills, it has traveled far and wide and has taken up residence in gardens everywhere. With its lovely, lavender blue flowers and fragrant pungent odor, it as entwined itself into the hearts of women everywhere and is a very useful herb if we open to its strengthening and empowering qualities. -Lavender has long been valued for its ability to bring courage and strength to the user. Traditionally, sprigs of lavender were tied in bundles and placed in the hands of women in labor. Squeezing the fragrant bundles was believed to give them added strength and courage during childbirth. Lavender has long been used to calm nervous stress and is especially useful during menopause and menstrual difficulties. During the Middle Ages it was a valued remedy for hysteria. I’ve found it can be very healing to women undergoing their periods of intense stress to place sprigs of lavender and lavender oil in the rooms of their home. Its essence brings calmness and inner strength to the user. -In every culture throughout the world you will find a great body of folklore concerning the indigenous plants of that region and the wise women who used them. For thousands of years women collected plants from meadows and woodlands and used them to create healing medicines. They gathered herbs by the waning and the waxing moon, artfully created preparations, and developed herbal formulas. -Through an intuitive communication with the plants, women learned the healing powers of these green allies. Their wisdom developed over countless years as remedies were tried, proven, and passed on. The best of these remedies were added to the lore, and the wisdom was transferred from mother to daughter, from wise woman to apprentice for countless generations. -This is the legacy we have inherited. Healers, wise women, simplers—these women were the center and source of medicine and healing for their communities. They understood the cycles of the seasons, the ebb and flow of the universe, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the natural rhythms of their bodies. -This has got to be one of the easiest desserts I've ever made. It took me all of 3-5 minutes to pull together. -Combine drained crushed pineapple, dry pudding mix and yogurt, until well blended. -Pour into a graham wafer pie shell (I used chocolate). Sprinkle 2 tbsp coconut on top. decorate with pineapple slices and cherries, and then sprinkle another 2 tbsp coconut over everything. Allow to cool and set in the refrigerator. -Empower users to access all of their applications – Google apps, and Windows applications and desktops.

Previously there has been relatively little growth in this space, but with Facebook pumping swathes of cash into developing their online advertising, improvements are being released more and more frequently. -Facebook is becoming an increasingly friendly advertising platform for retailers and e-tailers. However, the latest update for Facebook ads links retailers’ Facebook ads to their offline, in-store products. -This means that Facebook can show more relevant stock to more relevant customers with up-to-date prices and stock levels. -For example, say your Brisbane donut store has baked 50 donuts for today, 30 Vanilla Swirl and 20 Face Invaders – because everyone loves donuts right? After the lunch rush you update your stock levels using your stock management system to show that you only have 10 Vanilla Swirl and 5 Face Invaders left. -Get into our Brisbane store quick! Only 5 Face Invader donuts left for today. -Depending on your advertising campaign approach you could run a price discount using your dynamic Facebook ads. -Only 5 Face Invader donuts left in our Brisbane store. 50% off until sold out. -The beauty of the dynamic Facebook ads is that your advertising campaigns can be updated as frequently as you like to encourage more customers to convert, depending on what that means to your business. Once you’ve defined what your marketing priorities are (and these will vary depending on the business), you can include these as calls to action (CTA) and include them in your Facebook ads. -You might want to encourage your prospects to call your business, visit your store, make a booking, or purchase online. These CTAs can be included in your dynamic Facebook ads. -Extensions can be added that include: click-to-call links, location-based information, or links to landing pages with enquiry forms. -Can Facebook Dynamic Ads Help My Business? -Get in touch with us at Excite Media to discuss how Facebook ads can help your business. -PeikerVacation1 hasn't logged any travels yet. -PeikerVacation1 hasn't been active in the wiki travel guide yet.

If active co-operation is required on the customer’s part on another server, e.g. during the transfer of a web space package or other data stored on the provider’s servers, the customer shall provide such co-operation in accordance with the provider’s instructions and within the stipulated time. -(3) If no other agreement has been reached the provider shall be entitled to demand payment in advance for all services ordered by the customer for the respective period. -All webhosting packages (“virtual servers”) offered by the provider (Tomattos) assume a minimum service period of twelve months with an automatic extension of the agreement and the corresponding domains/servers for twelve months. -All server packages (dedicated servers, colocated servers, VPS, game servers) offered by the provider (Tomattos) assume a minimum service period selected by the customer when placing the order with an automatic extension of the contract and the corresponding domains/servers for the minium service period chosen by the customer. -(4) Once the payment which had been made by the customer in advance for the agreed term has expired the contract is automatically terminated. -The domains associated with the packages/servers however, are charged for the complete contract period (this is dependent upon the domain extension and can be seen here) and must be terminated at least 4 weeks before expiry of the contract period in order to prevent automatic extension of the agreement (an extension is equivalent to renewed registration in respect of the contract period). If the package/server is terminated before the end of the contract for the relevant domain(s) or if the contract has not yet ended or has not yet been renewed, you will be charged separately to cover the remaining months of the domain service. The amount charged depends on the extension of the domain (for a complete list, please click here). -(5) Given that the customer is placing the order as a private customer (as defined by § 13 BGB), the following applies: The customer has to pay the provider an appropriate fee which equals the the ratio of the services already rendered in relation to the total services intially intended for the contract, up to the point when the customer informed the provider about the enactment of his right of revocation regarding the contract. This is true in particular for yearly costs of ordering Internet domains. The reason for this is that these Internet domains are ordered individually according to the customer’s wish from the responsible registry and such orders have to be paid by the provider for one year in advance. This is why advances rendered by the customer will be withheld, in general. Due to the installation and start of operation of the hosting services ordered by the customer (setup and configuration of the web space or server, the domain or the colocation space as well as the Internet uplink required, setup of upgrades, etc.), which the provider is contractually obligated to perform, the provider explicitly reserves the right to demand appropriate compensation for lost value if the costs for the services rendered by the provider in relation to the total services intended for the contract are not covered by advances made by the customer. -(6) Should the provider be commissioned by the customer to provide services that are over and above the duties and responsibilities detailed in these General Terms and Conditions and in the service description (e.g. software-configuration, correction of errors or problems etc., that were not caused by the provider) the provider shall be entitled to demand adequate remuneration. In this case, a standard payment of € 25.00 per 15 minute unit of work shall be agreed. The provider may vary from this payment for the benefit of the customer as he sees fit. -(7) The responsibility for backups of his data lies with the customer, not the provider. -(8) The provider shall be entitled to to increase fees up to once per quarter. Such an increase requires the agreement of the customer. The agreement of the customer shall be given if he does not dissent within 4 weeks after receipt of the message informing him about the change. The provider is obliged to inform the customer about the repercussions of not dissenting within 4 weeks. As long as the main obligation, i.e. the obligation of payment of the basic usage-independent monthly remuneration, is not concerned, the provider determins the remuneration according to equitable discretion. -(9) In case the value-added tax is increased, the provider shall be entitled to adjust the remuneration for goods and services, which are adduced or delivered within a continuing obligation, accordingly, starting at the point of time the value-added tax-change comes into effect. -(10) It is agreed that payments made by the customer will not be refunded regardless of their original purpose – except in the case of an effective revocation, but then by inclusion of § 1(5). In case the customer made a payment higher than the amount of fees being required until the end of the contract and the fees for ordered services until then, it is agreed that the balance will not forfeit. Instead of a refund, the balance will be used for the provision of other / new services which the customer can order from the provider at any time. -(1) The customer expressly assures that the provision and publication of web page content created either by himself and/or web pages created for him by the provider based on information provided by the customer neither infringes Bangladeshi law nor any other law applicable in the customer’s country of residence, in particular copyright, data protection and competition law. The provider reserves the right to remove any pages from storage on his server that appear to be of dubious content. The provider shall immediately inform the supplier about any intended deletion of pages. The same shall apply if the provider is requested by third parties to change or delete contents of web pages because they allegedly violate third party rights. -(2) The provider shall be entitled to delete any such web pages from hard disk storage on his web server if such pages are likely to infringe third party rights. He shall also be entitled to prevent access by third parties by taking any appropriate action. The provider undertakes to notify the customer immediately about any such measure. Should the customer be able to provide proof that there are no concerns regarding infringement of third party rights the provider shall make the web pages concerned available again to third parties. The customer hereby agrees to hold the provider harmless from any claims by third parties resulting from the content of materials on the customer’s website(s). -(3) The clauses 1 and 2 are also applicable for all other products offered by the provider which are suitable for publishing data, such as VPS or colocated servers. -(1) Should domain registration or domain hosting form part of the services offered to the customer, the provider shall act only in the capacity of mediator between the customer, DENIC, InterNIC or other domain registration authority. Agreements with such organisations have the sole purpose of governing the customer’s rights and obligations. -(2) The provider has no influence on the delegation of domain names. He therefore cannot warrant that the registered domain names are not subject to claims by third parties or that they are unique or permanent. This also applies to sub-domains allocated within the provider’s domain. -(3) If the customer should be requested by a third party to surrender a domain because it may infringe third party rights, he shall inform the provider immediately. In such cases the provider shall be entitled to surrender the Internet domain on behalf of the customer. The customer hereby agrees to hold the provider harmless from any claims by third parties resulting from disputes regarding inadmissible use of domain names. -(4) The customer hereby warrants to the provider that the address information (consisting of at least his name, address, telephone number and e-mail address) provided during registration or setting up a new account is correct and complete. Should this information change then the provider must be notified immediately in writing (letter, e-mail, fax). This and under certain conditions further information, will also be used for domains ordered by the customer from the provider. -(1) If the provision of e-mail addresses or e-mail services forms part of the services offered by the provider, the limitations set out in § 3 shall apply analogously to e-mail addresses provided for the customer. The provider reserves the right to delete the customers e-mail messages if they are not retrieved from the mail server within 4 weeks of receipt. -(2) If provision of access to public discussion forums (newsgroups) forms part of the services offered by the provider the time period over which public news is stored shall depend upon operational considerations of the provider. -(3) The provider shall not be responsible for the e-mail addresses he provides; their use and management is outside the control of the provider. In the case of misuse, the provider shall be entitled to suspend all or individual e-mail addresses. The customer shall be informed immediately about such measures. -(1) For webspace-packages, the following applies: The customer must ensure that his web site is designed such that the server is not excessively loaded, e.g. caused by CGI/PHP scripts requiring considerable computing power or above average memory usage. Excessive loading shall be defined as such usage of the aforementioned resources such that the operation of a Tomattos server is noticeably impaired or even crashes. Tomattos reserves the right to prohibit customers or third parties from accessing pages that do not comply with the aforementioned requirements. -(3) For game servers, the following applies: Clan Servers will be supplied by the provider solely with password protection, so that players can only connect to them and participate in ongoing games after typing in a password. This password set by the provider may never be removed by the customer. Moreover, the password may never be completely or in part nor in any other way which will make it guessable or restorable be published in the server name or elsewhere. The password is to be kept secret by the customer and may only be passed on within his clan or a comparable community – to each player individually. The customer has to make sure that players who receive the password strictly adhere to this paragraph. -(4) For game servers, the following applies: If the customer has ordered the upgrade “Tomattos branding” for his game server, the name of the server will be extended by an advertisement supplied by the provider (e.g. ‘by Tomattos.com’). This extension by the provider may never – also not in part – be removed by the customer. -(5) Should clause 1 to 4 be applicable, the provider reserves the right to immediately suspend the webspace package or server. This course of action will also be implemented should other sites stored on the server be affected by the customer’s site. The customer shall be informed about any such suspension. -(6) In case of such a suspension, solely the customer, not the provider shall be accountable for infringements of contracts. In any case the provider’s claim of payment of remuneration remains, for the entire contract period. -(1) The provider concedes complete and sole administration-rights on rented/colocated servers to the customer. Only the customer knows the individual administration-password of the server, not the provider. The provider is therefore unable to administrate the rented/colocated server. Hence the customer is solely and entirely responsible for administration and security of his servers, at his own expenses and risks. It is his duty to install necessary security-software and to inform himself constantly regarding security issues as well as to fix such by himself. Installation of maintenance software or other software does not absolve the customer from this duty. -(2) Should customers receive fixed IP-addresses, the provider reserves the right to change these when technical needs arise and to inform the customer about his new IP-address. -(3) If necessary and reasonable, the customer will assist at simple configuration changes, such as entering the login-data anew, or simple changes of his systems. -(4) It is the customer’s duty to configure his programs in such a way that they are restarted automatically when the hardware or the operating system is restarted. -(5) For game servers, the following applies: The provider concedes complete and sole administration-rights on the rented game server to the customer, within the limits of the functional range of the web interface supplied by the provider. The customer, however, does not receive complete root or SSH access for the used game host server. The startup parameters of the game server cannot be changed by the customer. -(1) The provider guarantees an annual mean 95%-availability of the physical connection of his webspace packages, dedicated, colocated, virtual servers and game servers. Exempted hereof are periods of time in which the servers are not reachable over the internet due to technical or other problems which do not lie within the provider’s sphere of influence (force majeure, faults of third parties or of the customer). -(2) The servers located in the datacenters of the provider are connected to the internet over a complex network infrastructure. Data traffic is routed over different active and passive network components (routers, switches, and other devices), which have a certain maximum data throughput. Therefore data throughput capacities can be limited for particular servers at particular points and not be equal to the maximum allowed data throughput of the respective switch-port. Unless otherwise agreed, the provider cannot give a guarantee for the amount of actually available bandwidth for individual servers, but makes available bandwidth depending on the technical capability of the datacenter, taking into account obligations towards other customers. -(3) Customers can use the servers of the provider or own colocated servers for an manageable amount of different applications and use various software programms to this purpose, at their own discretion. Because of this, millions of different configurations are possible. The sheer diversity of these option does not permit the provider to give guarantees for the utilizability and compatibility of servers for a certain purpose. -Except for the specifications made in the description of the offer, the provider cannot give guarantees for the actual resources available for individual webspace packages, VPS and game servers. Rather, the provider makes available resouces depending on technical possibilities, taking into account obligations towards other customers. -(1) The customer agrees that his personal data (basic data) and other information concerning use of the service (e.g. time, number and duration of connections, access passwords, uploads and downloads) may be stored by the provider during the period of the agreement should this be necessary for fulfilling the purpose of the contract, particularly for invoicing. The customer agrees to the storage of data. The provider may also processes and utilise such personal data that has been collected for the purpose of advising his customers, for advertising and market research for his own purposes and for structuring his telecommunication services in accordance with requirements. The customer shall be entitled to object to such use of his personal data. -(2) Upon request by the customer the provider undertakes at any time and at no charge to provide full access to stored personal data pertaining to the customer. The provider shall not disclose this data or any of the customer’s personal messages to third parties unless he is legally required to do so, in particular to government bodies or should this be required by internationally recognised technical standards. -(3) The provider expressly points out that the protection of data privacy for data transmission across open networks such as the Internet cannot be fully guaranteed with current technology. The customer acknowledges and accepts that the provider is entitled at any time to view the websites stored on his server and, under certain conditions, any of the customer’s data stored there if technical requirements so dictate. Other unauthorised Internet users may also be technically able to interfere with network security and control the flow of messages. -The customer warrants that all information he has given to Tomattos is correct and complete. Upon request the customer agrees to immediately inform Tomattos of any changes and to reconfirm that the data is currently correct within 7 days of receiving any such request. -– and if the customer provides his own name server, the IP addresses of the primary and secondary name servers including the names of these servers. -(4) The clauses in § 8 do not affect § 16(4). -The provider shall be liable for any damages caused by him or factors, servants and assignees through gross negligence or intent. In cases of violation of essential contractual obligations and slight negligence which lead to financial losses liability shall be limited to a liability insurance procured by the provider (with regard to the amount of liability) and to predictable, imminent losses (with regard to the type of liability).The limitations of liability stated above do not concern claims of the customer regarding product liability and especially do not apply for damage caused to the customer’s health (or loss of life) attributable to the provider. Otherwise, liability is excluded. -The customer indemnifies the provider against all possible third party claims arising from any illegal action by the customer or from errors in the information provided by the latter. This applies in particular to copyright, data protection and competition law violations. Tomattos shall not be obliged to check the customer’s websites for possible legal violations. -(1) Applicable law is that of the The Peoples Republic of Bangladesh. -(2) Any dispute resulting from this agreement shall be referred solely to a court of competent jurisdiction at the place of business of the provider. -(2) In the case of incorrect direct debits/credit card debits (possibly caused by an overdrawn account, incorrect account data etc.) additional bank charges and increased administrative costs will arise for the provider. The provider will therefore charge a flat fee of € 15.00 for an incorrect direct debit and a flat fee of € 30.00 for an incorrect credit card debit. -(3) In the case of a failed debit collection, the provider may immediately claim default interest fixed by law. Additionally, the provider shall be entitled to discontinue the service contract until payment is made. The provider shall be entitled to suspend the contract and reallocate the rented capacities. Data loss cannot be ruled out in this case. A one-time-fee of € 30.00 is computed by the provider when re-activating the service for the customer. -In the case of a non-payment until the second date mentioned in the demand note an additional fee of € 58.00 is computed for mandating a lawyer. -(4) The provisions set out in paragraph 3 shall also apply in the case of non-payment if the customer has selected the payment option “bank transfer”, “PayPal”, “Skrill”, “Western Union” or a similar, comparable payment option. Delay of payment is the case when, at the first of a given month, the services of the provider have not been prepaid for the entire month. -(5) In case of NGO/NPO offers there is no refund or credit back. Any claim of such refubd or credit back will be not entertained. In additional lawyer charges may applicable in case of any legal procedure needed to perform. -(6) In case of custom quoted servers, the non-refund and no credit back will applicable too. -(7) Payment Policy Page terms will be also applicable except special cases. -The customer thus agrees to comply with the corresponding provisions and is responsible for observing them correctly. -These provisions may result in only having restricted or even not having the possibility to use otherwise purchased licenses of the customer with the servers of the provider. The provider will supply a license for all customer orders of Microsoft software products considering the Microsoft Service Provider License Agreement. This license allows the monthly use of the Microsoft software product on the server and limits its utilization permission with regard to some aspects. The customer particularly must not use Microsoft products which require additional or other licenses according to SPUR. The customer is obligated to comply with all these provisions on his own and is liable for violations against this usage policy to the provider and Microsoft. -(1) The provider is obliged to enable a connection to the internet and a storing position for the server according to the respective product description. -(2) The provider does not provide any guarantee for hardware damage which can result, for example, from transport to the datacenter, back to the customer or during going concern. -(3) The provider grants the customer access to his server-system during the office-times published on the homepage of the provider in order to allow the customer to work on the server-system. This requires, however, a written request which has to be addressed to the support-department of the provider, at least 48 hours in advance. To access the server-system, the ID Card of the customer or a statement of authority signed by the customer is necessary. During the customer’s presence in the datacenter, the provider has to fulfill various duties of supervision and control. Since this requires the attendance of the provider’s personnel, costs of € 50.00 per started hour incur. With prior agreement, the provider can abstain from this at his sole discretion. If the appointment is not kept, the customer has to cancel it at least 2 hours in advance (if during office hours) or at least 12 hours in advance (if outside of office hours). If there is no cancellation within the stated time periods and the appointment is not kept, the customer will be billed for € 30.00. -(4) Reboots are provided for free by the provider at the customer’s request unless stated otherwise in the product description and unless the amount of reboots per month does not create disproportional effort. -(5) Other technical support services are not included with the offer. If the help of a technician is required, costs of € 25.00 per started 15 minutes incur. -– In case of an outage / non-availability of electricity, UPS or air conditioning, the provider will immediately, at the latest during the next working day, undertake all measures necessary to restore going concern. -(7) Claims resulting from operational outage of peripherals (air conditioning, electricity) can only be asserted in case of violation of the guarantees mentioned in clause 6 up to the monthly amount for the colocated server and only if the outage has been lasting for over 72 hours (continuously, without breaks). If financial losses are claimed, these have to be substantiated and will be redeemed after verification up to an amout of € 500.00. -In case of an bandwidth-outage such claims are only valid if the guarantees regarding bandwidth made in § 7 clause 1 are undercut. -(8) The provider does not assume liability for damage or loss of data. -(9) The customer is responsible that the colocated equipment is flawless so that no negative impact for other devices can emanate from it. -(10) The customer is liable for possible damages emanating from the server and is responsible for an adequate insurance. -(11) If the provider informs the customer immediately, at least one month in advance, that he has decided to move to a different location, each party has a special cancellation right and can cancel the performances specified in this contract that are provided in the location which will change using written form. The cancellation will come into effect on the day the location is about to change. Given that the provider has informed the customer accordingly and neither party has made use of their special cancellation right, the contract continues unchanged at the new location. This clause does not come into effect if the reason for the change of the location is an instant dismissal of the rental agreement between the provider and his lessor. In this case, only clause 12 applies. -(12) The customer is aware of the fact that the provider himself has to rent the datafloor. If this contract concerns the housing and bandwidth provided in the datacenter, the contract concerning this performance ends automatically at the point of time when the rental agreement between the provider and his lessor ends by means of an instant dismissal and the provider has been unable to find a suitable new location. The provider will inform the customer immediately. Other agreements remain untouched. -(13) If the server of the customer needs more electricity or space than specified in the rented offer, additional housing-modules need to be rented – when only noticed later, this change will be retroactive. The number and price of the required additional modules is specified on the homepage of the provider. -– The customer is informed immediately about such a change. -– The customer has a special cancellation right for bandwidth and housing in the affected datacenter: He can cancel affected subscriptions within three months upon receipt of the message informing him about the change. This special cancellation right is valid during the mentioned three months-period. If it is not used, the contract continues under the adjusted conditions. -(15) The customer agrees to the fact that the provider opens the case of the colocated server and adds a ‘Web Resetter’ to the reset-pin of the mainboard. Using this device, the provider is able to restart the server of the customer at any time if the customer requests it. Furthermore, the customer is able to reboot the server himself using the aforementioned device if he orders the necessary upgrade. In case the server is returned to the customer, the provider will remove the ‘Web Resetter’ again. -(16) The customer is aware of and agrees to the fact that the provider publishes (Live-)video material and static pictures of his datacenter and that these videos/images might picture equipment or servers of the customer. -(17) If the customer is in delay of payment for any performance between him and the provider, the provider has the right to keep the server and/or equipment of the customer in his posession until payment is made in full. -(18) The customer grants the provider a lien on colocated servers and other equipment to back claims resulting from the contract between the provider and the customer. The lien only expires once all debt resulting from the contract between the provider and the customer has been paid and the contract has ended. Starting with the inception of treaty, the customer has to inform the provider immediately should the server not be or cease to be his property, be pledged or assigned. If the customer is entitled to other rights to the colocated server, especially expectant right, he assigns these to the provider in order to back debts resulting from the contract between the provider and the customer. -(19) The lien and the contractual lien can also be asserted for claims resulting from former services or other claims. -(20) If the provider excercises his lien, it shall suffice to send a written notice to the last known address of the customer. No further notice is required. -(21) Legal liens are unaffected by these terms. -(22) If the customer does not retrieve his server / other equipment within four weeks after the contract has ended, the provider will stock the items for a fee of € 10 per item and per month. -The provider has the right to change the subject terms of this contract as long as the changes are reasonable, taking into account the interests of the provider. The agreement of the customer shall be given if he does not dissent within 4 weeks after receipt of the message informing him about the change. The provider is obliged to inform the customer about the repercussions of not dissenting within 4 weeks.n. -(1) Amendments or additions to this contract are only valid if they have been agreed to in writing. This also applies to any amendment of this clause relating to written notification. -(2) All communications by the provider may be sent to the customer by electronic means. This also applies to invoices sent for services provided under the agreement. -(3) The customer may only set off claims against the provider if such claims are established as undisputed or legally binding. -(4) The provider is authorised to list the customer as a reference-customer without being obliged to pay a refund. -(5) All prices quoted are not binding unless they are confirmed contractually. Errors and omissions in our prices excepted. -(6) If any provision of this agreement is held to be invalid or becomes invalid or if there are omissions in the agreement that require rectification, the remaining provisions of the agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision or omission shall be replaced by a provision which comes closest to the intention of both parties as would have been agreed by the parties had they knowledge of such issues in advance. -Equal rights. The right to vote. The right to dress as we choose, stylish or not. The right to participate in whatever career we choose. Education. Higher education. Managing our own finances. Our own choices. -Absolutely independent if we want to be. We love it. -– lost our right to manage our own lives or voice our own opinions? Husbands, fathers, brothers, or other near or distant relations were the decision makers with no input from us. Financial decisions, housing decisions, schooling decisions. --were not considered intelligent enough or too delicate for politics, or to vote? --were a pawn to create an advantageous alliance and were not allowed to choose our own spouse? --were required to be silent, opinionless arm candy? The only opinions allowed to be voiced are those of our husbands/fathers. --were not allowed to purchase property on our own, or it reverted to a male relative if our spouse passed away? --had no right to opinions or decisions about our own healthcare? -This was the reality for our grandmothers, our great grandmothers and their mothers and grandmothers. -Until the 20th century (give or take) history paints a grim and difficult life for women. This was acceptable to many because they didn’t know any other way. The common opinion was that women did not know how to care for themselves or what was good for them, therefore the men in their generations made all decisions for them. -Why wouldn’t we just love it that way? We would be safe and cared for, knowing that someone else is making decisions in your best interest, providing for you and your children financially. In case you missed it, that was sarcasm. Historically, we know that while it worked for some lucky ones, many were oppressed by this system, whether they realized it or not. -I’m a person who pays my own way, and I work hard to do it. I make my own decisions, and even the thought of having no choices or being required to have another person oversee my life and make decisions for me with no right to an opinion is infuriating. -You know those cartoons with a snorting, angry bull with red vision, pawing the dirt, ready to charge? That’s me and a lot of others, men and women, protecting my rights. -We have rights, lots of them. The right to vote for who we want, for whatever position they want. The right to dress as we choose. The right to participate in whatever career we want, or a career we hate for whatever amount we want. College educations. Managing our own finances. Our own healthcare decisions, living life by our own choices. -Absolutely independent if we want to be. The land of the free, we love it. --did not have our rights to manage our own lives? Our state and government officials were the decision makers. Financial decisions, housing decisions, schooling decisions, healthcare decisions. --were not considered intelligent enough to make our own opinions about politicians? --were used as pawns to create an advantageous alliances and were not allowed to say “no” to other country’s demands for fear of offending them? --were required to be silent and opinion-less? What if the only opinions allowed to be voiced are the major news broadcasters. --were not allowed to own property, or someone was able to take it away from us? -– were considered unable to care for ourselves or to decide what was good for us or our families? -Why wouldn’t we just love it that way, all safe and cared for, knowing that someone else is making decisions in your best interest, and providing for you and your children financially? Again, note the sarcasm. -Tell me, if this type of control isn’t acceptable for men to impose on women, why would it be acceptable for a government to impose that level of control over its citizens? Why would we knowingly elect officials who support these ideals? -You know those cartoons with a snorting, angry bull with red vision, pawing the dirt, ready to charge? That’s should be you and a lot of others, men and women, protecting our rights. -Your car uses a fixed rod antenna to receive both AM and FM broadcast signals. This antenna is a removable type.

O2O mode has been accepted by many industries and introduced in the logistics industry. By using the O2O mode effectivelysolve the cargo allocation problems, the high empty loading rate of lorry and the highly logistics costs, etc. in the logistics industry, which isgreatly promote the health and velocity in the logistics industry in our country. But logistics O2O mode in our country still exists many problems in the process of development, such as false information, payment, etc. -This article by studying the operation of logistics O2O mode in our country, and summarizing and analyzing the current situation and existing problems, for putting forward to the effective solutions in the development of China's logistics O2O mode. -Gelly S,Silver D.Combining online and offline knowledge in UCT[C]//Proceedings of the 24th international conference on Machine learning.ACM,2007:273-280. -●All-metal construction super cooling design,lower the inner temperature,in case of fog. -●Overall high- strength aluminum alloy die cast housing, internal all-metal structure. -● The wiper cleaning function. -● HD- SDI Speed Dome Camera, SD Speed Dome Camera,Auto-tracking Speed Dome Camera for the same overview can be supplied on requirements. -Simple, yet impactful, Flourish offers storage solutions to make your workspace flow. -Flourish’s versatile wood storage solutions feature transitional style and clean lines.

The Office of Community Life and Athletics Department hosted a Distracted Driver Simulator test vehicle, simulating the dangers of texting and driving while sitting in a car. SSC, Inc. and the Office of Safety and Security partnered with the Office of Community Life by participating in the prize pool, by donating ten $10.00 Dunkin Donuts gift cards for a participants drawing. -The Office of Safety and Security and Athletics Department also partnered with Quincy Police to host a “Women’s Self-Defense and Defensive Tactics Class” on October 20 and 21. The event was open to members of the Quincy community. -The Congress of South African Trade Unions has noted the latest cabinet reshuffle by President Jacob Zuma. We can confirm that the federation did receive a courtesy call from President Jacob Zuma regarding his decision to reshuffle his cabinet this morning. -While, we acknowledge that the president of the republic has a prerogative to reshuffle his National Executive as per the Constitution of the republic, we find the frequency of these cabinet reshuffles unsettling because they do not help to create the much needed stability at a government level. What compounds the situation is that some of these government departments are also witnessing an exodus of senior technocrats. -All of this is happening while workers and the poor are continuing to be victims of a system that has condemned millions of our fellow citizens to lives of brute survival. Our economy is currently haemorrhaging jobs at an alarming rate and it does not help that we are also experiencing this kind of political uncertainty and policy incoherence from government. -COSATU expects cabinet reshuffles to be about strengthening the capacity of government in order to help government to better implement its developmental agenda and deliver on its promises. We are not convinced that this reshuffle is informed by that ,considering that some of the most ineffectual ministers like Minister Bathabile Dlamini, Minister Nomvula Mokonyane, and Minister Mosebenzi Zwane are still part of the National Executive. -These recent cabinet reshuffles have done very little to help take the National Democratic Revolution forward. We call on the African National Congress to reflect deeply about the state of the economy and the overall performance of its government. The majority of workers are facing a bleak future and the people South Africa need a clear sign that the government has a plan to rescue them from poverty and kick-start this economy. -As COSATU , we will continue to work with and support the newly elected ministers and deputy ministers with the hope that they will prioritise a people driven and people centred development. We wish them well in their new positions. -Anesthesia is administered to patients who are undergoing otherwise stressful or painful medical procedures, such as operations or tooth extractions. The anesthesia blocks pain and renders the patient unconscious so that the health care professional may work without concern over the patient’s discomfort or interference. Nurse anesthetists work either independently or under the supervision of a physician or anesthesiologist. They administer the anesthetics, adhering to the plan plotted by the anesthesiologist or physician. The nurses must be careful and precise as giving too little anesthesia can be just as detrimental as giving too much. Nurse anesthetists work in a variety of health care settings, including dental, podiatric, and obstetrician offices, as well as hospitals. -Nurses specializing in anesthesia must be registered nurses (RNs) because of the complexity and sensitivity of the duties. Though one can become an RN by completing either a diploma program from a nursing school, an associate degree in nursing, or a bachelor’s degree in nursing and successfully passing the NCLEX-RN examination, those wishing to go into anesthetics must obtain a graduate nursing degree. Nurse anesthetists must earn at least a master’s degree in health care, have experience working as an RN, and enroll in a nurse anesthetist program. After completing the anesthetist program, nurses must pass an examination given by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, which will gain them certification and licensure to practice. -As the health care field grows, the demand for medical services will grow as well. While many medical services are routine and non-invasive, more than 26 million people in the country undergo medical procedures that require anesthesia, according to the Mayo Clinic. With these numbers, the need for nurse anesthetists is clear. As the population climbs, the increase in the number of patients flowing into physician offices every day will also boost the need for more nurse anesthetists. Nurse anesthetists earn varying salaries depending on their level of experience. Nurses who have less than a year of experience earn about $112,190 annually, whereas nurses who have five to nine years of experience earn about $132,368 annually. -Maintain the exterior. Don't let your property look neglected. Make arrangements to have your lawn mowed, or in winter, your driveway shoveled. Trim branches that could fall and damage your roof during a storm, and clean out clogged gutters to avoid water damage. Check that exterior lights are working. -Take precautions with the interior. Install working deadbolts on exterior doors, and make sure all windows are securely locked. Set your thermostat at a constant temperature (high enough in winter to prevent freezing) and replace the thermostat's battery. Seal up pet doors to keep out pests, animals, and other potential intruders. -Enhance the vacant property's security. Add motion-sensor lights and entry alarms. Keep bushes trimmed to remove potential hiding places for burglars. Close the curtains and blinds to prevent people from seeing in. Use timers for lights, and consider adding a unit that simulates a flickering TV to deter criminals. -Round up support. Enlist neighbors or friends for additional vacant property protection. Ask them to alert you of any concerns and occasionally park in the driveway to help make your home seem occupied. Notify the police and the fire department that the house will be vacant, and leave your phone number with them. -Protect your investment. Be aware that if your home is vacant for a month or more, your homeowners insurance may not cover losses that occur while it's vacant. You may need to add a vacancy endorsement to your policy. Talk with your State Farm® agent about your options. -Argonauta at the conference “Living Healthy”. -Argonauta received a call from the Croatian Institute for Public Health to join the implementation of the “Living Healthy” project, co-financed by the European Social Fund, and to attend the project presentation on 9th March 2018. -Namely, the European Social Fund in the framework of the Operational Program “Effective Human Resources” for the period 2014-2020 approved grants for the implementation of the project “Living Healthy”.

The ensemble features an orchestra, a choir and traditional dances to braid together an enriching experience of Eastern Mediterranean music and the historically interconnected cultures of the larger region. -Ethnomusicologist and Director Ken Habib has been working closely with more than 25 musicians and singers to perfect the melodic and metric modes from the genres of this part of the world. San Luis Obispo Dance Director Jenna Mitchell will lead dancers in choreography that interacts with the complexities of the music. The concert will feature guest artists Ishmael on qanun (trapezoidal zither), Fathi Aljarrah on kamanja (violin) and Faisal Zedan on riqq (tambourine), daff (frame drum) and darabuka (goblet drum). -A variety of instruments such as these will be used to shape a harmonious sound that delves into the traditional music of the Eastern Mediterranean region. This will all be in quarter tone, which is a unique pitch characteristic of these genres of music. The exposure to instruments and sound that students may not be familiar with will contribute to the distinct journey through the experience of AME. -“It’s out of the paradigm of Western European classical music, which is what the music departments in the United States historically have centered on, exclusively,” Habib said. -Cal Poly music alumnus Brandon Webb noted the value of being exposed to a diverse variety of music outside of Western European classical music. Webb is the percussion section leader and is responsible for giving the drummers guidance and keeping a steady tempo for them. He will be playing the doumbek (goblet drum) as well the daff (frame drum). -Despite the fact that some musicians involved with AME have not grown up with this specific kind of music, both those who are just learning it and those who have it weaved into their own roots can come together to collaborate in the ensemble. -“The experience at AME is very divided between the people that want know more of the culture and the people that call this culture home. I know my fellow musician AJ and I have grown up with this kind of music and it’s something that we’re very attached to,” liberal arts and engineering studies senior Michelle Naziri said. -Habib expressed that the AME has a following of people who have been attending the concert for years, some of whom also have this music embedded in their roots. He hopes the concert is sophisticated enough to resonate with this audience, but also transparent enough and multivalent enough to resonate with people who are hearing it for the first time. -“The arts are an expression of reality in a way, just like the sciences are. We interact with our world … Human beings are intrinsically artistic. Music, for example, is, as far as we know, a part of every single society in the world and historically has always been a part of every single society in the world.” Habib said. -The universality of music, along with the evidence of music as an essential part of history, demonstrates the richness of humanity, which Habib said we need to focus on by embracing our differences rather than being afraid of them. Regardless of musical literacy or experience, the AME said they hope the people who attend the concert will thoroughly enjoy it. -“I hope that they enjoy the musical experience of being, in a sense, a musical person in society because everybody is musical even if you don’t sing or play an instrument, because we listen to it and appreciate it.” Habib said. -Tickets are available at the Cal Poly Ticket Office with prices ranging from $12 to $14 for the public and $9 to $12 for students. -A trip to China sounds very exciting Merle!

The department then made that map available to these partner organizations. -That keeps crews from having to tear up the same portion of road two years in a row. -Projects that have benefited have included the River Arts District Transportation Improvement Project (RADTIP), the Cedar Street Bridge repair in east Asheville, annual road resurfacing and the Hendersonville sidewalk project. -“Economies of scale have been realized and maybe we can partner on who pays for resurfacing,” said Shuler. -With the bond projects over the next seven years, coordination is going to be even more critical. At the same time, Mission Hospitals have their towers under construction, and A-B Tech continues its growth, having just finished a building that incorporated new sidewalks. -So far, utility relocation in the River Arts District for RADTIP has been the most visible coordination effort, with PSNC and Duke Energy as primary partners. Look for more collaboration as the Infrastracture Task Force continues its work. -To keep abreast of traffic delays due to construction, check out the Waze app, which contains official permitted City of Asheville lane and road closures. The City partnered with the traffic app through its Concerned Citizens Program so residents could get information about where to expect traffic delays, especially around RADTIP. -This is my design for The Arts Partnership’s Fargo Flag contest. The top 15 designs will be which will be presented to the City Commission for possible adoption as our official city flag. Voting is open until Sept 23rd at 5pm. -Having a city flag is important for several reasons, but most importantly a well-designed flag can become a graphic that unites us as a community. My design was inspired by our agriculture (wheat symbol), tech-industry (the wheat symbol has bold, modern lines), and cold winters (blue for the glacier that once covered Fargo, and lighter blue for the snow and ice every winter). -1. Keep it Simple The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory. -2. Use Meaningful Symbolism The flag’s images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes. -3. Use 2-3 Basic Colors Limit the number of colors on the flag to three, which contrast well and come from the standard color set. -4. No Lettering or Seals Never use writing of any kind or an organization’s seal. -5. Be Distinctive or Be Related Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections. -This entry was written by Shane, posted on September 7, 2015 at 2:33 pm, filed under graphic design and tagged fargo, fargo flag, vexillology.

Therefore, two breath tests must be conducted. -There are many DUI defense strategies that can be used to argue your AZ DUI case against the State and prosecution. This defense is just one of many involves breath testing. Below is an excerpt from the book “101 DUI Defenses 101 DEFENSES TO BEAT YOUR ARIZONA DUI ©” written by James Novak, Arizona DUI and Criminal Defense Attorney. For more DUI defenses, the abridged version of this E-book can be downloaded free by visiting www.arizonacriminaldefenseattorney.com. -Arizona has earned the reputation for being one of the toughest states on DUI charges in the country. The DUI laws are strict and penalties severe. If charged or arrested for an Arizona DUI, you should contact an Arizona DUI Lawyer as soon as possible. Even for first time offenders, the penalties are designed to “teach a lesson” so that the defendant will avoid a repeat offense and to get the word out, that Arizona has zero tolerance for those driving “impaired to the slightest degree” or who may be drunk driving in Arizona due to alcohol or drugs. -Penalties for convictions of first time, misdemeanor DUI in Arizona, depending on the circumstances may include mandatory jail time, suspension of driver’s license, fines, fees, probation, mandatory counseling, and court ordered interlock devices on your vehicle to be installed at your expense. -Arizona Felony DUI or Aggravated DUI, charges can include lengthy prison terms, suspension of driver’s license, exorbitant fines, fees, probation, mandatory counseling at your cost, and court ordered interlock devices on your vehicle to be installed at your expense. The Arizona Courts are especially harsh on repeat offenders and Arizona penalties reflect this. -Many people make the common mistake of trying to seek counsel of a friend regarding their DUI who is not a licensed Arizona DUI or criminal Defense Attorney in Arizona. Resist this temptation. They are not walking in your shoes. They were not arrested. They will rarely know the Arizona DUI laws inside and out, current legislation, changing laws, defense strategies, and be experienced in defending cases in the Arizona criminal justice system. They will not bear the consequences of your DUI charges if they are not properly defended by a qualified DUI lawyer in Arizona. -After an arrest for drunk driving, or DUI with drugs or medication, you should consult an attorney as soon as possible, to discuss your charges and defense options. Be sure that the Arizona DUI lawyer is experienced and defends cases often in the jurisdiction or city where you were arrested and received formal DUI charges or criminal charges. For example if you were arrested in Mesa Arizona, by Mesa Police, but you reside in Phoenix AZ, your DUI charges will be filed in Mesa Arizona, and your case will be heard through the Mesa AZ City Court. Make sure your DUI attorney defends DUI or criminal charges frequently in Mesa Arizona. It will benefit your defense if your DUI Lawyer is familiar with the court system, prosecution, and judges to hear DUI cases on a daily basis in Mesa AZ through the criminal justice system. -The best Arizona DUI lawyers begin defending your case with the thought process of building defense strategies that will lead to getting your Arizona DUI dismissed. That is where a good Arizona DUI Defense Attorney starts. They will base their decisions on how and what defenses to utilize based on the individual circumstances surrounding your case. Top DUI defense Attorneys in Arizona will know when and how to present their compelling arguments in your favor to get your charges dismissed. Depending on the strength and/or weakness of the prosecutions case, your AZ DUI attorney will examine the evidence, to determine if any evidence can justifiably be suppressed (not used against you). If the charges can not be dismissed, they will then attempt to negotiate with the prosecution a way of getting the charges reduced to a lesser charge, for example: a criminal charge down to a non-criminal charge, a felony to a misdemeanor, an extreme DUI to a non-extreme DUI and reduce the DUI penalties against you. In other words, in absence of being able to get the Arizona DUI charges dropped, a good AZ DUI defense attorney will make every effort to get the best possible outcome in your case. -If you are stopped by police for Arizona DUI, generally the police officer will use a set of five-to-six common tests called Field Sobriety Tests (FST). One thing that top Arizona Criminal Defense and DUI attorneys agree on is that so many aspects of the FST can be challenged on behalf of your defense, in an effort to get your case dismissed or charges reduced. -Tool o determine if further breath or blood tests are needed. Then they will later use your performance of these tests against you. They will make it sound like you did poorly on the tests. But in fact, even a person unimpaired by drugs or alcohol may perform these tests to a “poor” standard. That is why they are often challenged. -WAS YOU BATTERY OF FST CONDUCTED WITH CLIMATE, ENVORNMENTA OR LANDSCAPING DISADVANTAGES TO YOU? -The roadside could be uneven and covered by debris. The climate conditions could cause inability to perform the tests well. Were you doing the tests a surface on a hill, or a surface that contained mud, rocks, melting tar or oil, ice, snow drifts or other rough or other unsmooth or level surface? NHTSA requires that the Walk and Turn & the One Leg Stand be performed on a smooth, level surface. -Did the officer report that you failed or did poorly on the HGN test? -This is the “follow the pen with your eyes test” actually has a very complicated name- the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (“HGN”) test. This test is allegedly meant to measures the involuntary jerking of the eye when a person is impaired by alcohol. When medical doctors conduct this test they do so in an areas with good lighting, employing medical equipment that holds the patient’s head still and clearly lists the angles. The officer, for one test, must determine whether he detects the onset of nystagmus prior to 45%. It is almost impossible without be accurate on the angle. The test can be challenged as invalid under almost all roadside and lighting conditions. -Did the breath test operator possess a valid, unexpired operator’s license? -If not, the DUI breath test result is inadmissible. -Was your blood sample preserved properly? -The preservation process can be an issue. The blood vials must have been stored properly prior to its use. The blood vials must not be used beyond the expiration date. The blood vials must be preserved in order to provide your defense attorney with the opportunity to test the sample with an independent lab for purposes of objectivity in your defense. -Was the blood kit and contents in the kit, within the expiration date period? Was it properly sealed, packed, inspected, and maintained at the required temperature? When the police take your blood they usually do so using a pre-packed blood kit. However, safekeeping and inspection of the kits must be routinely performed to ensure that tubes have not expired, are sealed properly and are kept in an appropriate place that is not temperature extreme like the trunk of the car in the summer heat of Arizona. -Was your urine sample properly tested? -The urine taken for drug testing must also be properly tested according to required testing procedures and protocol, for timing, specimen handling, transport, labeling, and preservation, including the containers for which the urine specimen is stored. -Was your blood drawn within three hours of consuming your last alcoholic beverage? -It can take up to three hours for alcohol to be absorbed in your blood stream. If the blood draw was outside of the three hour window, the results of the BAC may be challenged as invalid. -These are just a few aspects of items that can be challenged to your favor if you have received Arizona DUI charges. That is why it is important to hire an Arizona DUI attorney who defends cases in the jurisdiction for which you were charged with the AZ DUI, and challenges such issues on a daily basis. It takes experience, special skills, training, knowledge and a great amount of defense litigation experience to challenge these issues in your defense. The ultimate goal of your AZ DUI Attorney is to examine some of these issues to pave the way for flaws in the prosecutions case for total dismissal, or in the alternative reduction of charges, suppression of evidence, and getting the best outcome in your case. -A Mesa “Felony DUI” is also known as “Aggravated DUI”.

It may be the one of the most important decisions you make in a lifetime. -Proud modern-day Vikings, the Lofoten Islanders make millions from cod and their cows give so much milk they have to wear bras. -Mythical creatures must surely inhabit the forests and river glens in this delightful part of Norway. -Melbourne-born Percy Grainger held a lifelong enchantment with composer Edvard Grieg's music and the interest was reciprocated. -It's hard to choose just six in this country full of spectacular sites. -Trondelag, and its capital Trondheim, wedged into the heart of the country, is Norway's quietly achieving region. -It has the air of a place gazing outwards - to adventure, danger, excitement and mystery - a springboard to the polar darkness. -Norway, land of 1000 waterfalls and possibly the world's most successful society, has a secret. It's called friluftsliv. -The symposium presents design thinking as an alternative approach to conduct research and develop ICT-based participatory tools for learning in a variety of settings. The integration of ICT in teaching and learning, as well as its support to participatory practices, is defined as a wicked problem that can be best approached through the adoption of a design mindset. In this regard, this symposium presents 4 papers that explore ways to use design thinking and ICT in three different levels: (1) education policy-making, (2) facilitating participation in education (3) design of tools and methods that foster reflection about teaching and learning. The four papers presented in the symposium can be considered as use cases in which design thinking has been used to develop new services, tools and practices. -The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) has published a statement criticising the Highways Department for burying news of delays to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB) in a late-night press release. -On November 25, the Highways Department issued a press release responding to media enquiries on the latest progress of the HZMB project at 10:59pm. -Under Secretary for Transport and Housing Yau Shing-mu later explained that the announcement was made then because the Department noticed speculation regarding the project’s progress, and therefore felt the need for immediate clarification. -The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. Photo: hzmb.hk. -According to the HKJA, the only acceptable reason for any public authorities to issue late-night announcements is if it is an emergency which would cause public inconvenience if not immediately announced. Since the delay mentioned in the press release was not such an emergency, and issuing the statment close to midnight was unnecessary, the Association said. -Half of newspapers in Hong Kong were unable to report the delay, thereby seriously affecting the public’s right to know. -Under Secretary for Transport and Housing Yau Shing-mu. File Photo: Stand News. -The Association also cited other instances when government bureaux made announcements of public interest late at night. -These included Secretary for Development Paul Chan Mo-po’s statement acknowledging that he knew flats owned by his company had been sub-divided for rental. Chan’s statement was released at 11:59pm on August 5, 2012. -The PC I am using right now is more than six years. I checked my blog and found the post of flash the bios in Feb 2013. I did a search in my Gmail. Wow, I found the receipt which I made the order on NCIX. NCIX has closed for years already. -There are three items. All are running on my desktop now. -Later I bought a Crucial SDD for Windows system. -I work on this PC for more than 6 years. Windows 10. Sometimes it powers off without notice. Now it is time to do some upgrade. Wait for the new computer parts from Amazon. -– For building bridges from deterministic, linear and Cartesian thought and word use, by exploring our observations of the environments and their living systems affecting our ideals. -A diverse work group of 6 to 20 people would be assembled, helped by a facilitator, needing about an hour to just go through the basic 3Step process. It’s NOT a discussion group, of people offering opinions, but a learning group of people offering connecting observations. During the session they’d need to be able to write as they talk, building on each other’s observations, starting from being given or choosing an ideal goal to work with. -They’d use that ideal to lead them on an exploration of what people in the group already know from observing their cultural, economic & ecological environments, sharing with each other things they’ve seen are happening that could affect achieving the ideal. The product is a large collection of freshly shared observations on what’s happening and how it connects; they’d need to work with to proceed to planning for investments in changing their environment. -To work well in the UN’s OWG setting, a few work groups might be organized in the same space, to work at the same time, each with their own facilitator. A prior process of facilitator training is needed, on now how to recognize environmental systems at work and ways of raising productive questions to help work groups fully explore what they know. -Facilitators should have a combination of interests in human and natural economies, social science and natural science, some management and organizing experience. A facilitator’s guide to the method and the systems science behind it is in preparation. -It’s easy for people to talk about the ideals they’d like to see in the world, and talk endlessly about them. Ideals don’t tell you much about how to change the world to bring out your ideals, though. So I designed a very simple way to draw people into exploring the working parts of their own cultural & economic environments, that their ideals will need to work with, to help suggest practical interventions designed to “work with nature” to bring out their ideals. -I call it the 3Step process, and have been developing it in part prompted by Ambassador Korosi having showed some interest in my efforts to steer the OWG process toward studying what SDG’s need to work with to succeed. People tend not to be drawn into thinking about how the complex connecting parts of their environments actually work together, though, being more comfortable just thinking and talking about how their own values and how their own mental environment works. But, if we have important ideals, that can only be achieved working with the world around us, that can draw people into learning how to turn their ideals (SDG goals) into practical ways to get involved (SDI interventions) to bring out their ideals in their real environment. -3) Possible ways to intervene and bring out that ideal, working with those environments. -Note: While others are talking try to both listen carefully and take quick notes on thoughts that come up as they speak. Ask the guide to suggest other things to look for if the flow of ideas lags. Don’t be sidetracked to dwell on any one subject. -During and after the discussion collect everyone’s notes on a common note page, like a TitanPad, a chalk board, a Wiki etc., to solidify the rich variety of ideas discussed, understood as valuably interconnected starting points to think over in further study. -The process both brings people with different viewpoints together to see how useful the different things they’re aware of about how their environments work can be when combined, and also to draw people into exploring just how much they already know themselves, freed to explore with interest what they’ve observed about how things work, without preconception for how the information will be used. -I tried using it in a Commons Cluster conference call a couple months ago. It worked splendidly to bring out lots of productive observations no one person could have collected. Some work on the method is still needed, to make it more of a real tool to use rather than just a cool way to bring up interesting new issues. -It’s a scientifically designed method for bringing out what groups of people can see they’ll need to work with in their environments to achieve their ideals. If developed as part of a process for designing real interventions to invest in for changing the environment, it will also help greatly expand the discussion general discussion of how to work with nature’s working parts. -3. Instead of the 3rd step, a period for discussing possible interventions at the end, you could have people take 5 minutes to work independently and write down one or two suggested intervention ideas to propose, in 20 words or less. Then to end the meeting each person could read theirs. That would end the meeting with a sort of “surprise package” of forward thinking, and help motivate people to contribute their notes to the wiki or public pad. -4. for youth groups, after coming to a focus on some ideal they feel passionately about, you could make the environmental observations of Step 2 a guessing game, with each person getting a turn to think of and give hints to others trying to guess something they know of happening socially, economically, politically or ecologically that is important to take into account. -5. somewhat like #1, you could have a 15min “world witness” period just before coffee hour as a regular part of a church service. Some places it would be “a crazy idea”, other places not. The 3Steps approach is highly flexible and versatile, if you prepare a bit and get people to “just bear witness” to what they can see happening that their ideals have to work with to get anywhere, expressing their awe of the natural world’s movements and changes it is ours to deal with. -Glad you’re thinking about it. I’ve been hoping to get feedback each time I offered the basic idea of the 3Step SDG design process, using our ideals for the “world we want” to help us explore the real “world we have”, to see what we have to work with. It’s like going to “design school”, where the big task for an artist learning how to draw is first learning “how to see”. To change a particular environment, a designer needs to first learn to discover what’s in the environment to work with, and like anything, it takes learning new habits. -It does help to have a vague idea what you’re looking for, like the ideal statement of an SDG, but having any other preconception of what you’re looking for will blind you to what’s really there. As one instructor put it once, “every design should begin with reading book zero”. It’s usually the most important step in a design, and leads to getting the best kinds of results, just getting to know what there is to work with, in its own right. -In that way it’s not so different from how anyone goes about designing a child’s Halloween costume. There may be some vague image to begin with, but the real work begins with looking through the materials available, and then trying out this and that till you find a way to make something wonderful. I’m sure you can think of lots of times where someone has only the vaguest idea of what they’re planning on making until they’ve rummaged through all the things that they might use. -That’s the idea, anyway, to just get people to rummage through their cultural and economic environments, as if seeing and exploring them as if for the first time, learning about what they’ll either have or need to work with to advance the ideal they want to design for. It’s critically important to get the steps in the right order, and explore the materials of the environment you’d need to work with before making a plan for what to do. -It’s like going to “design school”, where the big task for an artist learning how to draw is first learning “how to see”. To change a particular environment, a designer needs to first learn to discover what’s in the environment to work with, and like anything, it takes learning new habits. -This “learning ‘how to see'” is the key issue for me in “transforming” an old educational system that actual seems to close down that “open-seeing” to “discarding” any idea that isn’t immediately familiar to one’s already habituated “ways of seeing” and some of the “blinder prejudices” (and some actually are indeed prejudices) that one has not learn well to easily “excavate” and thus remain aware of, especially in understanding a “new” and “different” environment. -Key, so key to that is the ability to “listen openly” to those from that different environment and understand the world through their “ways of seeing” and “hearing” and more their analysis of the problem(s) to address. This is that critical “design” process step that is so key for me as an educator trying to train minds/eyes/ears and hearts to “see” in “global” more creative, right brain ways because otherwise too much of the non-linear, non-verbal communication is missed and thus the problem(s) itself poorly or only partly understood. This is that critical mis-step that I think too often sets us from the outside trying to help, for failure: you cannot really help solve problems you didn’t really fully grasp. -True “open-mindedness” in a reductionist, linearly, overly-rationally trained world or previous education system is to me the hardest and least understood of the skill-sets needed to do this. What I call the “emotional/social and cultural intelligence skill sets” that most “elitely-educated” Westerners are negatively trained in, if at all (in worst cases creating unintended arrogance and ego-investment in “their” ideas over all others). -This is also a skill set that needs to be explicitly “re-taught” to combat this tendency. It is my “hardest” work in trying to explain the underlying “transformative” premise of the new educational model the TEF is supposed to represent, given that I and most of us involved in these issues at these levels were so “well-trained” in the “old” more limiting frames. -For myself, I spent years “re-learning” this from the children I taught, so much more willing to teach me gently and because I could not at first “understand” why how I was taught to teach was actually “hurting” their learning and their hearts. -That was motivation enough to get me to understand why and why emotional intelligence and that necessary empathetic listening is so critical to all true learning. -I’m a natural systems scientist, that studies both how the organizations of nature develop and operate and also how they’re perceived by popular and professional communities. Maybe the most profound thing I’ve found is that “popular social culture trumps objective science” just about everywhere. It seems to be because, for various reasons, “science doesn’t work socially”. -We need **something that works socially** for a human society to establish itself and be sustainable, a very basic social requirement seeming to stem from how human societies first developed. So…. it’s the social networks which end up being responsible for defining the foundations of our beliefs, and deciding what is meaningful to the society, creating our common reality and the nature of our experience of it. -The miracle is that all social networks more or less equally *experience* the natural world and how it works, but generally don’t study it. As a result… we end up defining our shared ideas about reality without actually studying how the natural world works too. That social role in defining our cultural reality evidently holds true **even within the scientific and business communities**, as the basis for the many “silos” of exclusive knowledge that permit only their version of reality of the wider social agreement on the nature of the culture’s common reality. -…… So to give social networks a better foundation on which to build our common “realities” I devised a neat trick. It’s for getting them to look at what’s happening in the natural world’s, without any preconception as to “what it’s for”. -It helps people notice how much they actually knew about how their world works but never put together before, and discover what they need to use and work with to get it to work for them, but may have never really asked before. -Gary Wilson passed away May 19th, 2003. His sons Gary and Ryan thought it would be awesome if they could do something to honour their father's memory while giving back to the community. They decided to help the less fortunate gain access to hockey, a sport which was responsible for giving the boys such great memories with their Dad. -The memories formed by Ryan and Gary with their Dad at the rink will last a lifetime, and they believe no child should be denied the opportunity to build their own memories due to financial burdens. -Want to work as an in an inspiring and agile environment where you are able to learn within Reinsurance?

Thanks for having the contest! -- Feedback from Trev on our great service. -"I think what is good about this agency is that they do not charge an admin fee. Also, I just need to pay the teacher for the lessons, it is fuss-free and not so troublesome. The teacher they recommended was reliable and the agency found a teacher for me within 24 hours. So I feel their service is good! -"I found out about SG Piano Music Agency via the internet and am pleased with the service I have gotten from them. The person from the agency whom I liaised with was very helpful in finding me a suitable teacher for my child. -Thank you very much and I will definitely recommend you to my other friends who are looking for piano teachers." -"I have always wanted to learn the piano since I was a child but didn't have the chance to do so. So now that I'm married and my children are all working, I decided to get a piano and looked for a piano teacher via SG Piano Music Agency. -The agency shortlisted some teachers for me to choose from and I have been taught by Ms Ng for the past 2 years. I am happy that finally I can play the instrument I always wanted to learn since I was young. Thank you to Jamie and the agency for your help!" -Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica (Acta) is an international journal that publishes articles within the fields of anaesthesia, intensive care medicine, pain, and emergency medicine. The journal is owned by the Scandinavian Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI), and thereby also by the 5 Nordic national societies which make up the SSAI. Most of the submissions and articles are related to perioperative medicine, and each year we receive nearly 1000 manuscript submissions. The majority are from outside Scandinavia, and only around one-third of the printed articles are from Scandinavia. Last year we rejected more than 75% of all submitted manuscripts. -Members of the SSAI (and of the national societies of the 5 Nordic countries) recieve full text access to the journal (and potentially a print version, if allowed by the national society) as part of their SSAI membership. The journal is the flagship of the SSAI. -Manuscript handling is electronic, using ScholarOne, and all articles can be read or downloaded from the journal homepage, including the first articles from 1957 and those most recently accepted but not yet printed (Early View). The homepage also contains interesting lists of most accessed and most cited articles. Through simple choices in the personal user profile area for each SSAI member’s Acta registration with the publisher, Wiley, the member can elect to receive regular notifications with full text links for the current issue table of contents, or for new articles being published digitally before coming into a print issue. Again, through simple logging in to the Acta Anaesth Scand journal website through Wiley, one can directly open any or all Acta journal articles in full text from anywhere. -We try to handle manuscript submissions as quickly as possible, and the average time from submission to first decision was approximately 35 days in 2015. -Topical or narrative reviews, which are articles that systematically describe the current status a research field as an update for the general reader. -Expert’s opinions are articles that cover a specific clinical problem and contain recommendations for clinical practice. -Systematic reviews and meta analyses that adhere to the required format for these highly focused articles. -We also publish articles on education as well as Ph.D.dissertation abstracts from Scandinavia. -Authors are encouraged to read our author guidelines carefully. Reports of randomised trials must conform to the CONSORT guidelines. For such studies, a flow diagram should be a part of the manuscript and a completed Consort Checklist must be submitted with the manuscript. For other types of studies, the CONSORT checklist is also very useful, for instance the focus on a specific primary hypothesis and one primary endpoint. -Future challenges are to obtain a better position on the journal ranking list in our field, but also to be more visible within intensive care medicine, pain, and emergency medicine. -Some words remain etched on your mind no matter when you read them. That’s the power of words. I particularly believe in these words of Paulo Coelho – “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.” That’s perhaps what had lead me to believe that if you truly want something (and if you work for it), it will definitely happen. -Our instincts are often right. When we tend to ignore it, we end up making a mistake. However, when your intuition fails in certain rare instances, you look for signs that help you decide whether you should go for something or not. Remember how you spend all day wondering where to travel for your next holiday and you suddenly see an advertisement of a traveler enjoying his stay in Switzerland. It looks like the world is try to tell you something. -Being hungry on a weekend is extremely dangerous. When Zomato and Swiggy are just a touch away, things could get complicated if you act on an impulse. The consequences are frightening. So we should exercise utmost caution, and also perhaps (senior) adult supervision , while adding items to our cart. -I don’t cook the most Instagram-worthy meals every weekend, but roughly plan it on Fridays to avoid spending 2 hours discussing what to cook. I avoid cooking more than 2 meals a day, so apart from breakfast and lunch we normally eat out once a week or head over to mom’s place for some cozy meal. So the main meals are taken care of. It’s the cravings between the meals that tend to push me towards Zomato or Swiggy. -On one such weekend, my husband and I quickly finished our weekend chores and settled to eat a nice healthy, home-cooked meal. Things were fine till my mind started asking for something more. No, I didn’t want another serving of what we were eating. This time the call was for something sweet or crispy, something which people would not consider healthy. When I told my husband about this, he asked me to order online as he was scared I would then ask him to cook something. I was furious with him for letting me cheat so easily and told him he should help me in times like these when I was craving for junk food. -I wasn’t sure if I welcomed this unexpected testing of my will power (not really sure if I had any in the first place!). I tried to divert myself with some movie and switched on the TV. Tata Sky told me I could subscribe to some new food channel. Strike 1. I wanted to stay away from all cookery shows and in the random channel I switched to, Sanjeev Kapoor was revealing the secrets behind making a very appetizing biryani. Strike 2. You know how you go someplace and the first person you bump into is the person you wanted to avoid. That’s exactly how it felt. Anyway, I was scanning through the channels checking for a decent movie and settled for a movie on Romedy Now- No Reservations. Guess what the hero and the heroine did? They were chefs at this amazing restaurant and they were whipping up mouth-watering dishes and even delectable desserts. Strike 3. -I could bear it no longer and finally gave in. I usually decide quickly and in a matter of seconds, I set my mind on having an ice cream. We headed to Amadora, our favourite ice cream place in Chennai and treated ourselves to some delicious flavours of ice creams (dark chocolate sorbet and salted caramel). -There is a limit to the temptations a human being can resist. And when it comes to foodies like me, it doesn’t take much effort to get tempted. Initially I choose to ignore my instincts which was telling me to satiate my cravings. However there were obvious signs everywhere that were impossible to ignore. I knew the world was trying to tell me something. How could I not listen to what it was trying to convey? It’s important that we follow the orders of the world. I was pretty sure these messages were intended for me. Wondering how I’m that confident? You see, while some eat to live, I belong to the group which lives to eat! -So, watch out for these signs. You never know how the world might try to help you. -Addiction Step Eleven: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. -What is your understanding of God and how would you characterize your relationship with Him? I can open up any number of books and read about God, or read the Bible and not know anything about His nature and character. Through these steps, how has your perception of God changed? We have talked a lot about establishing a relationship with God, but how can you have any kind of a relationship with someone you don’t talk to? Through prayer and meditation we improve our conscious contact with God. -Prayer is simply talking to God. In Steps 4-7 we were honest with ourselves, and turned to God for His help. Working through the steps, that greater power we have relied on is not just a transcendent being, someone who is unreachable, unknowable and uninterested in our recovery. When we get to the point where we surrender and rely wholly on God, we are ready to move forward into Step 11. -This passage shows that the person’s relationship with God is a daily undertaking, that he is completely surrendered to God’s leading and knows that God is always with him. In Psalm 25:4-5, the writer is asking God to show him His way. -Trusting in God, and not yourself, implies a close relationship and the surrender that opens us up to God’s leading. -The Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book offers some insight into this interesting journey. “In thinking about our day we are faced with indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while. (page 86)” As the relationship grows, through prayer and meditation, the wisdom of God is channeled back and what we used to think was a good guess or a good idea, becomes a regular occurrence. We are open to the leading of God. -“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened” (Luke 11:9-10). -Even in our indecision, God knows our needs and is ready to help. Once you are learning to communicate daily with God you’re ready for the twelve and final step of your journey: When you have complete Addiction Step Eleven go to Step 12. -It’s ten minutes to bedtime, but Twinkle the little unicorn is showing no sign of sleepiness as her dad counts down the minutes from ten to one. Instead, she’s far too busy frisking around the marshmallow-cloud, pink sugar sandy land of the unicorns – dancing, prancing and chasing pixies and sprites. -Yet when she races after a shooting star, Twinkle gets lost… and it’s getting closer and closer to her bedtime. -This bedtime read, which features a rhyming countdown, is just the thing to help little ones wind down at the end of a busy day. -Inspiration can come from many places but this past weekend I found inspiration at the Arlene Abend Exhibit and Reception. The event was located at the Stone Quarry Hill Art Park in Cazenovia, New York and hosted by the Cazenovia Counterpoint. The Stone Quarry Hill Art Parks grounds are open daily from dawn to dusk and has unique outdoor art throughout the 104 acres. There are four miles of trails with breathtaking views. -Land was purchased in 1958 by Dorothy and Robert Riester and the house and studio at the top of the hill are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. -Arlene Abend’s reception included a documentary film by Courtney Rile which I found entertaining and inspirational. Abend is a small woman with a big personality. She has spent the last four decades creating her wonderful sculptures. Some of her favorite tools are the welding torch, plasma cutters, vices and grinders. -I found her large sculptures captivating and thought-provoking. Her story of overcoming challenges was inspiring to me and I was very happy to watch the film by Courtney Rile. Abend worked as an artist in the field of metal work which was pretty much dominated by men. She was not deterred but forged ahead with new ideas and techniques. She has great enthusiasm which motivates me to continue on with my art. -If you are in the area, I would invite you to stop in at the Stone Quarry Art Park to walk some trails, look at some art and then head into town to visit some of the great little shops and restaurants in Cazenovia. -Frances Carolyn Sedberry, 66 of Middleburg, FL passed away Thursday, May 17, 2018. Mrs. Sedberry was born in Baton Rouge, LA to the late Cleavern and Betty Grimball Broussard, Jr. She loved her family with a fiery passion. -Mrs. Sedberry was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Cleavern Broussard, III. She is survived by her loving husband, Charles Sedberry, daughter, Betty Irene Sedberry, two grandsons, Charles and Aaron Sedberry, sister, Doris Broussard Michelli, brother, Donald Broussard, many cousins, nieces, nephews. She is also survived by several whom she saw as and claimed as daughters, sons, and grandchildren. She will be dearly missed. -Funeral Services will be held 11:00 AM Tuesday, May 22, 2018 in the Chapel of Russell Haven of Rest Funeral Home with Rev. Ralph Estevez officiating. Burial will follow in Russell Haven of Rest Cemetery. Visitation with the family will be from 5-7:00 PM Monday at the funeral home. -The presentation will provide an overview of academic literature from a range of disciplines, which have considered the role and positions of athletes, women and lesbians in and around sport media; the academic debate will be supported and challenged through empirical illustrations from two contemporary lesbian athletes and their portrayal in the media. Specifically, the cases of Casey Stoney and Megan Rapinoe two openly gay female elite soccer players who have played professionally and represented their respective national teams. The two athletes are a similar age and have a similar experience in terms of the media, political and cultural time periods and the comparison builds upon other trans-Atlantic comparative media studies. The presentation will acknowledge the historical context, academic literature and contemporary empirical illustrations will provide an opportunity to support and challenge the burgeoning debate around lesbian athletes in the media, in particular, around the themes of: ambivalence, scrutiny and invisibility of the athletes or their sexuality. Additionally, it will analyse the assumptions that the media portrays lesbian athletes and their sexual identity through: contradictory ideas, critical observations and ignorance will be substantively explored. This presentation will examine the current debates around women in the sporting media before linking it with sexuality. The discussion on women sport and media will predominately be based on print media (which can consumed online) rather than social media. The use of case studies will acknowledge the changing nature of the print media in relation to two openly lesbian athletes. -Corrugated boxes and other custom corrugated packaging with a wide array of board grades and printing capabilities. -Quality new construction pallets, skids, crates and other industrial wood products, produced at our dedicated wood plants. -Custom foam inserts and assemblies offered in various densities and materials, designed to fully protect your product. -We are proud to offer value-add engineering and design services by our in-house packaging engineers. -GPC opened for business in 1957, and we have spent the last several decades building our reputation as a leading manufacturer of packaging products, and integrated packaging solutions.

The art gallery he was relocating from Connecticut Avenue was named for architect and engineer Pierre Charles L’Enfant (Colasante didn’t consider the 1960s office complex—L’Enfant Plaza—a fitting tribute to the designer of the District of Columbia). -Colasante, 67, is still pleased with his choice of location, calling Georgetown — outside of New York, which he says is “a different universe” — “the best place in the best city in the country to be.” The gallery’s window displays, meant to be “visual out-of-the-box experiences,” draw in the avenue’s enviable foot traffic. “I find out who they are later,” he says. -By now, the gallery has an international network of clients, a “nuclear family.” Dealers look to L’Enfant Gallery for Chinese art and Asian ceramics, and the Civil War is a focus (Colasante lent items to a major Lincoln exhibition recently), but the overall mix is eclectic in genre, origin and price. -Stepping inside, visitors face a red wall of paintings hung salon-style, assorted chandeliers above. That sense of rich surprise extends throughout the gallery’s four levels. -In November, after a volunteer archivist went through what was in storage, Colasante opened the gallery’s basement to the public. It is now set up to resemble a Victorian viewing parlor, complete with a carved chief’s throne from Borneo. -Having decamped for Vienna, Virginia, Colasante no longer gets up at 3 in the morning to move paintings around. But he and his business partner (and former spouse) Maureen Taylor rearrange the display and host special exhibitions every few months. From total holdings of roughly 4,000 objects, he says they sell 200 to 300 per year. -Colasante’s eyes twinkle behind stylish frames when he recalls starting out with a much smaller inventory. In December of 1973, he opened Calvert Gallery in an English basement on Connecticut Avenue, putting four things purchased at apartment sales in the window. The gallery grew as it moved from one location to another in the vicinity of Connecticut and Calvert, becoming L’Enfant Gallery in 1990. -Raised in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, Colasante attended Catholic University, where he failed to shine, as he tells it, either as an actor or a philosopher. He learned about art working in Oxon Hill, Maryland, as an eccentric collector’s cataloguer, then curator. His boss’s advice: Never specialize. -Colasante can remember three recessions, but calls the last five years “the worst it’s ever been.” The threshold for bread-and-butter purchases, formerly $10,000, has dropped to $3,000, he says. The good news is that he owns his building, having finally been able to purchase it from a trust in 2012. He also does appraisal work and counsels owners of art and antiques (he advises those wishing to hang on to treasured possessions to avoid the three Ds: death, divorce and downsizing). -There are a lot of amazing benefits of avocado. Avocado is used in many ways including foods, cooking oil and cosmetics. Avocado has a lot of vitamins and mineral such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, etc. Besides, avocado is rich in fiber but less in sugar and starch. Monounsaturated fatty acids contained in avocado also help to control the metabolism in the body. So what are amazing benefits of avocado? Today, I’ll share you with the amazing benefits of avocado to our health. -One of benefits of avocado is to prevent cancers. Avocado contains important vegetable compounds which is supportive in cancer prevention. Furthermore, antioxidants in avocado like glutathione, vitamin C and E, and carotenoids may prevent oral (mouth) cancer, skin and prostate cancer. -Another benefits of avocado is to help you lose your weight. With protein and fiber, avocado helps to manage the hunger and make you feel full for a long time. Unsaturated fats in avocado have effect on balancing calorie in the body. -Contents of the nutrients which are good for health such as omega-3, carotenoids and vitamins have effects on treating and preventing inflammation in the body. Many studies showed that essential oil extracted from avocado and soya beans may reduce inflammation as well as osteoarthritis. -Many researchers found that vitamin E in avocado may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease up to 30 – 40 percents. Also, unsaturated fats including monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may lower blood cholesterol level to avoid cardiovascular diseases. -Amazing benefits of avocado also impress in eye protection. Content of monounsaturated fatty acids in avocado may reduce the risk of macular degeneration and cataract. Additionally, antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin have effects on protecting the eyes by improving the absorption of carotenoids. -Avocado is not only used for healthy, but also for beauty. Let’s figure out some of remarkable benefits of avocado’s contents in improving the skin. -Fatty acid: maintain the moisture of the skin and make it smoother. -Vitamin E: remove free radicals which can inhibit the cells; therefore, it slows down aging process. Vitamin E can also support in healing the bruises. -Vitamin C: increase collagen production and elasticity of the skin. -Vitamin A: boost collagen production, remove dead skin and keep the skin cells healthy. -Vitamin B: reduce damage caused by free radicals, make skin fresh and glory. -Potassium and phosphorus: make hair and skin healthy. -Vitamin D: maintain calcium level which is good for bones and teeth. -Avocado is rich in potassium but less in sodium so that it may help to balance electrolytes and blood pressure in the body. Some studies showed that good fats contained in avocado also have a key role in lowering blood pressure; however, those who suffer from high blood pressure (hypertensive patients) should strictly follow their doctor’s advice if it is alright to consume avocado. -Although avocado brings a lot of advantages to our health, too much consumption is bad. There are some notices while consuming avocado. -Cause an allergy: Some people who are too sensitive, avocado may cause nettle rash (hives), or redness, or nausea, digestive problems, etc. -Harm your liver: Some studies found that estragole and anethole may hurt the liver. People who have problems with liver should avoid this fruit. In case you really love to try avocado, you had better get consultancy from your doctor. -Gain weight: If you consume avocado in limit amount, it can help you control the weight. In case of consuming much, avocado may make you gain weight. -Reduce good cholesterol: When there is an overconsumption, beta-sitosterol in avocado may absorb good cholesterol in the body that will harm the health. -Impact on people having latex allergy: Some of proteins in latex that cause latex allergy contain in avocado. Latex can increase IgE antibodies in serum, so those people with latex allergy should avoid this fruit. -Influence pregnant and nursing mother: When pregnant women eat avocado, amount of milk may reduced and mammary gland gets pain. Nursing mother consuming too much avocado may cause a stomachache to her baby. -Affect to some medicines: Avocado is good in anti-inflammation but it can influence in efficiency of medicines. If you are taking blood thinners, you should ask your doctor for advice before eating avocado. -In short, avocado is really helpful to the health if we wisely consume it in a limit. Do not forget to have advice from your doctor (for those who are under treatment process or having particular problems) before you eat this fruit. -Addition to health benefits, avocado is also used in beauty care. You can check some face masks here to make your skin more glorious. -Thank you for spending your time on reading my blog. I hope you can pick up some useful information from my page.

It’s an inexpensive, fun, unique place to stay. Get away from the traditional hotels and motels and experience something new. A relaxing, circular, tall ceiling, and echo-friendly environment. Their history goes way back to central asian nomads. Meredith Bower discusses in her article “A Yurt Holiday on the Isle Wight: Cheap and Cheerful,” the history, the facts, and the attractions of a yurt and surroundings. -However, the name of the company was intriguing (who isn’t making an effort to be “green” these days) and we still needed a place to stay, so we followed the link. We were sold on the idea as soon as we saw that the yurts came furnished with full-size beds (some four poster), and could each comfortably sleep five people. -We were shuttled to Afton Park Orchard and there, nestled among the apple trees, was a crop of four yurts, each completely and comfortably outfitted. From lanterns to linens just about everything in the yurt appeared to be from Ikea. -A quick tour of the site revealed the many environmentally friendly features of the compound. Of course there is recycling, and the wood used in the stoves and outdoor grills is collected from local landowners who have cut down dead or unsafe trees. -The shower is solar heated and environmentally friendly soaps are provided for bathing as well as dish washing. And then there is the composting toilet…enough said. -Being on the western end of the island we were within hiking distance of the famous Needles Rocks, stacks of chalk that jut out of the tip of the island into the blue waters of Alum Bay. We endured gale force winds as we explored the Battery, a Victorian coastal defense and secret rocket testing site perched high above the bright, white rocks. -Jamaica’s Blue Mountain Coffee is the Gold Standard! -If you’re a fan of fantasy-themed games, you’ll no doubt be very much enchanted by the Novomatic release, ‘Secret Forest’. It’s full of fairy, elf and gnome magic, providing players with a transportation to another world. It’s a little unfortunate that the interface is set up to include much of what would be considered a traditional slot machine cabinet, otherwise the developer could have had some fun with providing a foliage-based background and surroundings. However, this is not the biggest mishap with this game. Instead, they still haven’t seen the error of their ways, and have seen fit to incorporate their tired old arcade noises into this every time the reels spin. Audio should be concentrated on as well as the visuals, and it just seems like Novomatic haven’t really bothered thinking about it too much. However, with this nuance put aside, Secret Forest offers up an easy and relaxing game to play. -There are a total of five reels in this game, and these are accompanied by three rows, which presents a standard layout for frequent online video slots players. Upon these reels, various icons relating to the game’s theme can be found, including a griffin, a blonde-haired fairy, a golden-horned unicorn, trees with faces, white-spotted toadstools, two gnomes and a regal castle. Furthermore, the addition of A, J, Q, K, 9 and 10 icons can also be seen. These icons are wonderfully animated and very intricately designed, providing a very visually appealing product. -In addition to these reels and rows, Novomatic have added a total of nine separate pay lines. All of these are able to be easily altered, ranging from a single one up to three, five, seven and the maximum of nine. Furthermore, the value of a single credit in the game can be changed between $0.50 and up to $1 and finally, $2. Also, players are also able to change around the bet placed per line, which will range from its minimum of one and increase up to the maximum of 100. Overall, players are able to place a maximum wager per round of $900. -A large amount of features are usually added in to the best games, and while Secret Forest does have a few, it’s not overwhelmed by them. Its specialities start off with its wild icon, and this is represented by the previously mentioned blonde-haired fairy. She will act as a substitute for all other icons on the reels, except for the scatters, and in doing so, will contribute towards providing a winning combination. Not only that, but she’ll also double the pay out of any winnings. -In addition to this, you’ll be able to see a scatter icon in view, which is represented by the trees with faces. Should you manage to spin three or more of these into any location on the reels, you’ll be rewarded with 15 freespins. During this round, any pay outs will be tripled and freespins can be re-triggered as well. -Novomatic have also added their regular gamble feature to the game, which provides all players with the opportunity to try and increase their winnings. It is triggered after every winning round during the main game, and will offer you up the possibility of playing a side game to do so. Should you choose to do this, you will be taken to a new screen. This will present you with a deck of playing cards, and you will need to guess the colour of the next playing card to be turned over. If you manage to do this correctly, you will see your winnings doubled. Alternatively, if you don’t guess correctly, your winnings will be lost. -This game presents a wonderfully magical game, which is filled with visually pleasing animations and graphics. It’s a shame about the previously noted music and interface, but gamers will be pleased to spend their time gazing upon intricately crafted symbols as they spin the reels. -Gracefruit.com - Making Soap, Living Well: Catching Up! -We've been busy at Gracefruit these past few weeks as our customers prepare for their Christmas rush. Rob the guru has found time to set up a lovely Facebook page for us. -Please have a look if you get a moment! -Ron Kroichick July 21, 2016 Updated: July 21, 2016 7:54 p.m. -Curry offered a half-amused glare in return. That one hurt. -Barely a month after his team fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, completing a shocking collapse from a 3-1 series lead, Curry made a very public appearance. He played 18 holes with four amateur partners in advance of this year’s American Century Championship, the celebrity golf tournament starting Friday alongside Lake Tahoe. -Curry invited The Chronicle to tag along and chat occasionally as he walked the emerald-green fairways on a breathtakingly gorgeous day. -Three things became clear: The Finals loss still haunts him; he worried about needing surgery on his troublesome knee and ankle; and he’s confident the Warriors will blend recently signed free agent Kevin Durant into the lineup, after a brief transition. -“I think about it all the time,” Curry said of the Finals. “It’s a frustrating feeling to not get the job done. But at the end of the day, for us to kind of keep that in our memory bank as we go forward will make us better. -Curry looked spry as he smacked long tee shots around Edgewood, a picturesque tree-lined course. No limping, no hesitation, no sign of lingering trouble in the wake of knee and ankle injuries during the playoffs. -Make no mistake: Those injuries limited his mobility in the Finals. That was plain to see. Curry lacked his customary explosiveness, and the Cavaliers — most notably Irving, their dynamic point guard — took full advantage. Irving scored 26 points in Game 7, including a key late three-pointer over Curry. -Caddie Bryant Barr and Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry talk things over during the 2016 American Century Celebrity-Amateur Tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, California, on Thurs. July 22, 2016. His caddie Bryant Barr, (right) was his roommate back in their college days at Davidson. -To his credit, Curry didn’t use the injuries as an excuse. He didn’t Thursday, either, but he acknowledged fearing he might need surgery after the Finals. That’s the main reason he reluctantly skipped joining the U.S. Olympic team as it prepares for next month’s Summer Games in Brazil. -Thursday’s outing represented the first time Curry offered his take on Durant’s rock-the-league decision to join the Warriors. Curry was part of the recruiting delegation to visit Durant in the Hamptons, hoping to persuade the sought-after free agent from Oklahoma City to sign with Golden State. -Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry signs autographs during the 2016 American Century Celebrity-Amateur Tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, California, on Thurs. July 22, 2016. -A few days later, on the morning of July 4, Curry woke up on vacation in Hawaii to discover his phone lighting up. Durant had left a voice mail. Draymond Green and other teammates had sent text messages. -But the first text Curry opened was from Warriors owner Joe Lacob. Curry figured Lacob was offering consolation, but then he read the message and realized Durant was now his teammate. -The weirdness will morph into a tantalizing challenge come training camp, as the Warriors try to spread shots among Curry, Durant and Klay Thompson. And maybe a few for Green, too. -“It’ll be a transition,” Curry said. “I don’t want to say guys will have to sacrifice — I want guys to be who they are, because that’s what makes us so powerful. But there’s a transition in how we see the game, how we see the floor, how the flow goes. -Before the Warriors embark on that quest, Curry waded into his new reality at Edgewood. The last time he played in this tournament, in 2013, he was not yet a two-time Most Valuable Player. The Warriors had not yet won the NBA title. -Curry was popular, but he wasn’t quite Steph Curry. -So the person with the biggest job Thursday probably was Ralph Walker, the retired Oakland police officer who serves as Curry’s personal chief of security. Curry patiently signed hundreds and hundreds of autographs, while Walker helped him make his way between holes. -The circus was on full display. Several young women screamed in unison on No. 9, asking Curry to pose for a photo. He cleverly stopped, shouted “Photobomb!” and spread his arms wide with a big smile, appearing in the background of their shot. -Later, fans on the beach alongside No. 17 threw a football, Frisbee and Warriors hat for Curry to sign. He complied on all three counts. -“It’s kind of chaotic, man,” he said. -And, no, it wasn’t nearly as chaotic three years ago in Tahoe. Back then, Curry and a small group of family and friends went out for pizza and a movie to celebrate daughter Riley’s first birthday. Few people bothered them. -Wednesday night’s scene provided a striking contrast. Curry, his dad, Dell, caddie/college roommate Bryant Barr and Walker stopped at Safeway on the way back to their rental house. -I made a pizza with cauliflower crust last night. I didn’t die. But I wouldn’t want it to be my new normal. -For families with housing vouchers in St. Louis, even the threat of budget cuts means dramatic consequences. For people on the waitlist, it’s even worse. -Adeena Crape may be one of the last people in St. Louis to receive a housing voucher—at least for a while. -Crape received a call late this past November from the Housing Authority. Upon learning she could pick up her voucher, she was taken aback. Years had passed since Crape put her name on the waitlist. She had dismissed the idea that a voucher would ever come. “I'm not even sure how I got it!” Crape says. -Crape applied the last time the St. Louis Housing Authority opened its waitlist—a fleeting five-day window in July 2014. Over the course of those five days, 27,708 residents of St. Louis put their names on the list. In other major cities, the demand for vouchers is just as extraordinary. The last time Chicago opened its waitlist for housing aid, 260,000 households applied. With that many people in the pool, the Chicago Housing Authority held a random lottery, advancing only one in every five families to the voucher waitlist. Nationwide, around 3 million families are on voucher waitlists. If the waitlists weren’t closed, the number might be as high as 9 million families. -In the coming months, Congress will make decisions that may dramatically shape Crape’s monthly housing payments, and possibly even her status as a voucher holder. With budget cuts looming, public housing authorities across the country are preparing to shrink their Housing Choice Voucher programs. Philosophically, staff in St. Louis and elsewhere will have to decide on the lesser of two evils: cut the number of vouchers or slash the value that vouchers provide. -Today, the St. Louis Housing Authority is working its way through the waitlist chronologically—and they have yet to review applicants who signed up after day one of that five-day reprieve back in 2014. That Crape spent years on the waitlist is strikingly typical. According to HUD, 35 percent of voucher holders spend more than three years on waitlists—and 15 percent spend more than five years waiting. “You know, it’s so hard out here. I know people on the waitlist 10 years, 8 years, 6 years,” Crape says. -St. Louis’s long line to a voucher is a testament to the pent-up demand for affordable housing. -Nationwide, only one out of every four eligible households receive support. For those without assistance, conditions are worsening; between 2013 and 2015, HUD reports, the number of severely rent-burdened households increased by more than half a million. -Against this backdrop, federal allocations are positioned to shrink services, shifting the costs to the individual. Cuts will disproportionately burden black women. In St. Louis, black people account for 94 percent of voucher holders. More than 80 percent are women-headed homes. For a city where almost a quarter of renters spend 50 percent or more of their income on housing, fewer federal dollars would mean more residents fighting housing insecurity. -Receiving a voucher does not necessarily ensure that recipients will be able to obtain safe, affordable housing. Folks like Crape are already navigating a rental landscape in St. Louis in which housing stock is increasingly limited and landlords regularly discriminate against voucher holders, despite the fact that this practice is illegal within city limits. Further, just last year during budget negotiations, more than a thousand vouchers nationwide were rescinded while families attempted to secure units, sending them back to the waitlist. -Cheryl Lovell, the executive director of the St. Louis Housing Authority, administers vouchers to just under 7,000 households in the city and neighboring county. Just before the new year, HUD notified housing authorities of possible budget cuts based on Congressional proposals. The letter told directors to anticipate anywhere from a one to five percent cut in voucher program funding. “I know our funding is going to go down, but I don't know by how much,” Lovell says. -The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that, under the last Senate bill, 25,000 households nationwide would drop off the voucher program in a year—this, even though the bill increases HUD’s overall funding. The House bill is significantly harsher, cutting an estimated 105,000 households from the program. Put into further perspective, the budget Trump gave to Congress would cut around 235,000 households nationwide as part of the largest proposed cut to HUD since the Reagan era. -While waiting for last year’s budget to pass, Lovell says industry groups predicted that funding would renew only 95 percent of her budget. The 5 percent gap would have been enough to create a small crisis, had it materialized. Given the uncertainty, Lovell was forced into the precarious position of cutting her own program. -To mitigate the potential damage, the Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners decided to cut costs. They froze the waitlist for the first time since a nearly two-year period in 2014, meaning no names would come off the waitlist when vouchers became available. “Our first reaction, if the money gets cut substantially, is to just stop leasing to new tenants,” says Lovell. -Once the office stopped providing vouchers to applicants from the waitlist, attrition reduced the program. “Thirty-five to 40 households will fall off the program every month, and you hope that this makes up for the money that you've lost.” By not replacing these spots with families from the waitlist, Lovell’s program can be reduced by about 450 vouchers in a given year, if needed to fill a budget gap. -When the federal budget passed in May 2017, the St. Louis voucher program received more funding than expected. Still, the waitlist remained frozen for three months after the budget passed. “The leasing process itself takes a fairly long time to gear back up—so you stop and you start,” Lovell says. An uncertain budget increases inefficiencies. -The line Lovell walks was especially thin in 2013. That year, a gridlocked Congress triggered the across-the-board budget cut known as the sequester. As a result, housing authorities nationwide faced a 6 percent gap in voucher funding. -When housing authorities run out of other options, they sometimes turn to watering down the payment standard, or value, of vouchers. Payment standards are the maximum amount of subsidy a household can receive. When payment standards go down, tenants have a harder time making ends meet. Plus, their pool of available units is further restricted. -For households moving between homes in St. Louis during the summer of 2013, the support they received plummeted. The Housing Authority’s idea was to reduce each voucher holder’s support just enough to avoid knocking anyone off the program. Instead of receiving vouchers worth 110 percent of an area’s fair market rent (the maximum), their vouchers’ values sank to 95 percent. Vouchers no longer stretched as far. For example, in fiscal year 2013, a voucher for a two-bedroom unit within the city covered up to $871 of rent and utilities. Under these new payment standards and the 2013 budget, only up to $788 would be covered. -“This shifts more costs onto low-income households, who either must pay more to remain in their current housing or move to lower cost, lower quality housing,” writes Douglas Rice, senior policy analyst for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. As a result, in St. Louis, fewer families were able to move out of the region’s high-poverty areas, where vouchers are already concentrated within lines of racial segregation. Policy changes fenced them in: The Housing Authority denied all tenant requests to move to homes in higher-cost areas. This, despite the program’s promise in increasing residents’ choices. -In May 2013, the housing authority sent a letter outlining program cutbacks to landlords, appealing to their goodwill. Staff, bracing for cuts, planned to decrease payment standards for all tenants, thereby increasing rent burden, with as little as 30 days warning. The letter asked landlords to voluntarily defer rent increases and reduce rent by 5 percent. Lovell admits, “These two attempts to reduce cost were not very successful.” Only two landlords deferred rent increases. No landlords reduced rent. -When facing cuts, even housing authorities are less likely to meet tenants half way. Leeway within programs—such as a payment plan for shifting income—can make the difference between a family keeping and losing their voucher. “But when you're trying to control the cost and get under this cap, all the nice things you do for people, you're just like, ‘Nope, sorry, can't do that anymore,’” Lovell says. Cuts to administrative funding over recent years have compounded the shrinking support that housing authorities provide to tenant-landlord relations. -And while budget uncertainty diminished the voucher program’s pledge of social mobility, it didn’t undermine it completely. St. Louis avoided the most extreme scenario: not a single voucher was taken from a family following this budget cut. For many housing authorities nationwide it was a closer call, with tenants’ livelihoods often hanging in the balance. “We do everything else before we do that, everything. We do not want to remove a family,” Lovell says. But if it has to happen, the rule is simple: Last in, first out. -Today, housing authorities everywhere, St. Louis city included, have narrower margins and shallower emergency funds than they did following sequestration. This makes the worst-case scenario—housing authorities revoking vouchers—all the more likely if the Trump administration succeeds in imposing radical austerity. -With uncertain cuts looming and an administration that is anxious to dramatically reduce housing support, Crape occupies the position of “last in.” Any future cost-cutting measures in St. Louis will be made in an attempt to keep her, and other households recently awarded vouchers, in their homes. -Caitlin Lee writes, researches, and designs in St. Louis, Missouri. -Clark Randall is a freelance writer based in St. Louis, Missouri. He studies the processes of segregation and suburbanization in the region. -I watched the ABC’s latest foray into public affairs last week, Q & A, or as it’s portrayed in it’s website link, QANDA. -I hadn’t managed to watch the show to date, despite the first show being dedicated to Kevin Rudd solely. These shows tend to be 50-50 as a translation into acceptable viewing, I find. 50% worth a look and 50% worth avoiding like the black plague. -The show I saw was this one, and truthfully, I found it quite entertaining and informative. Being the first viewing, I’m unsure of the usual panel make-up, but if this show is any guide, it seems there’s two or three pollies, a boofhead and a comedian. Looking back at previous lineups it seems the three pollies-plus-boofhead is usually evident, at least. -I’m writing about this program to alert bloggers to the upcoming edition of QANDA this Thursday, 26 June. The line up is one not to be missed because Timmy Blair will be making a rare appearance on the ABC, television no less. He’ll be accompanied by Labor’s Bill Shorten, Liberal Greg Hunt, Elizabeth Ann Macgregor and Angela Conway. Timmy Blair surrounded by two up-and-coming politically astute and aware politicians, the Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art and spokesperson for a somewhat closeted conservative thinktank. Who’s going to play the part of boofhead, I wonder? Given the precis by the ABC on Blair at QANDA’s site, It looks as though someone involved with the program has already decided that Timmy should. -Tim Blair is a columnist and blogger with The Daily Telegraph, Australia’s second best-selling newspaper. He describes his columns, which have previously appeared in The Bulletin, The Australian, The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald, Time magazine and the Australian Financial Review, as dealing calmly and rationally with the subject of climate change, on which Blair is a world-recognised non-expert. Blair recently celebrated World Environment Day by driving from Sydney to Mackay, Queensland. Only 108 litres of fuel was consumed, a figure Blair himself describes as ‘pathetic’. -Even makes me cringe. Don’t miss it. Should be a complete hoot! -Viking Ocean Cruises, which two weeks ago pulled an order for ocean-going cruise ships from a French shipyard, now plans to build the ships at the Italian yard Fincantieri. The two companies signed a memorandum of agreement that calls for the construction of two new ocean cruise ships, with an option for a third vessel, for the new sister company to Viking River Cruises. It has not been determined whether the vessels will be built in the company’s Venice or Genoa shipyards. -The 45,000-ton, 998-passenger ships are scheduled for delivery in late 2014 and late 2015. A Viking press release said the parties reached an agreement on the financial and technical aspects of the deal and expect to sign the contract shortly, once the final documents and conditions are finalized. Some reports said Viking’s previous agreement with STX shipyard fell apart because of financing problems at the shipyard. -For Viking Chairman Tor Hagen, who formerly headed up Royal Viking Line before launching Viking River Cruises, the move represents a return to ocean cruising. He promises ships with a number of surprises that will be positioned in the upper premium market and will sail in the Mediterranean and the Baltic. -“We started Viking River Cruises to offer great destination experiences, and we are excited to bring this same destination focus back to ocean cruising,” Hagen said. “The ship designed by Fincantieri has a fresh and innovative design well suited to deliver the award-winning Viking experience." -Viking, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, is introducing six new river vessels this year and six more next year. -Cards: Crown Royale 2013 Silver (#139/199), Crown Royale 2013 Red (#14/99), Panini Black 2013 (#019/399), Photo Memorabilia. -An intriguing member of the Houston Texans, Ryan Griffin has shown flashes of promise in his limited playing time since he joined the Texans in 2013. The Texans love drafting tight ends and Griffin found himself buried behind Owen Daniels and Garrett Graham. With Daniels going down after the 5th game, Griffin saw more active playing time behind Graham. When Griffin was out there, he provided a respectable option for the Texans’ ragged quarterback rotation. Viewed as a poor-man’s Daniels, Griffin logged 19 receptions (on 28 targets) for 244 yards, scoring his first professional TD against the Arizona Cardinals. -As the Texans cleaned house after the 2013 season and new coach Bill O’Brien bringing in his multiple offensive system, Daniels was allowed to sign via free agency with the Ravens. Graham was elevated to starter and Griffin was relegated to third string again behind new arrival CJ Fiedorciwz. Still Griffin started 2 games and made 10 receptions. He scored his second professional TD in the Texans 45-21 blow out of the Tennessee Titans. -While the selection of Griffin and Brandon Brooks met with a collective disappointed sigh from the autograph community- I relished it, because it ensured that the event would still be a draw for the true fans. I quickly bought out what Ryan Griffin cards I could and prepared for the event the following month. It was really difficult to locate cards of him that were not already autographed, or were of Ryan Griffin (QB Tulane). In the end I paid more for unautographed cards, but that’s just what a true type of collector I am. -The players were really accommodating at the event. They signed a multiple for me and threw in the photographed memorabilia to boot. While Academy didn’t hand out numbers for the event beforehand, it wasn’t necessary. There were just not that many people there. Overall everything went well, and I was able to talk to some fellow fans as well while I waited. -Both of these cards really hit the mark pretty well. I like the Crown Royale a lot- even if it is a bit over the top. The set in general integrates the crown icon and design very well into the player image. Overall, it’s a very nice presentation and as a bonus, the scans came out even better than the actual cards. The Panini Black is okay. Again I am just not a huge fan of blasting a card brand across the card, but still it is a solid image. Ryan has a pretty solid autograph. There are some nice loops in the name and its angular slant gives it an exciting feel. -Hidden Valley Rentals was created in 2006. Founders Ron Zorn Jr and Dale Clifton decided to purchase a property on the Hidden Valley Resort and hire a management company. Soon they purchased other properties but became unsatisfied with their management provider and decided to manage their properties on their own. -As time passed and experience was gained, they began offering their services to other homeowners...and Hidden Valley Rentals was born. Hidden Valley Rentals is now the leader in property management on the Hidden Valley Resort. -Not only do we provide exemplary customer service to both homeowners and guests, we take pride in our property standards and care.

Fresh Dog's dry shampoo does basically the same thing for your dog. It is a loose powder that you sprinkle directly onto your dog's coat for an instantly clean and freshen appearance. -When applying the product, I found it best to sprinkle a small amount at a time, as using too much at once can cause a cloud of powder. I started at the base of the neck, sprinkling a bit of powder and massaging it in. I continued adding a bit more powder as needed, working my way down the back. A little powder goes a long way and my Schnauzer really enjoyed the massage. Note: I did not apply any product to the face, just to the body and legs. -When I finished applying the product to the areas I wanted to cover, I took a soft bristle brush and brushed my dog out. This helped to distribute the powder even further and removed the excess along with small bits of dirt. -I actually applied the powder to my dog while in the backyard. Since it was my first time trying out this type of product, I wasn’t sure if the process would be messy or not. It wasn’t. I did notice that my dog’s coat appeared whiter, so dogs with a black coat might need a bit more brushing. -The dry shampoo powder is easy-to-use and smells, well… fresh! The powder is infused with essential oils and has a marvelous lavender rosemary scent. I even deodorized my Schnauzer’s dog bed by sprinkling some onto it, too. It just smells so good. The dry shampoo powder is a good product to use as a quick way to remove odors and freshen up your dog's coat. -• Fresh Dog ™ Waterless Foam Bath: If your Schnauzer is in need of a bath but you just don’t have the time to do it, this waterless bath foam will solve your problem. Why it’s a bath in a bottle and no water needed! -Just dispense a few pumps of foam in the palm of your hand and distribute over your dog, taking special care not to get any into the eyes. Massage the foam fully into your dog's coat to loosen and break away any dirt and oils. Then towel dry your dog off... That's It! -My Schnauzer did not object to the foam bath at all and in fact, pranced around like "I got it going on" when we were done. I think he was just as happy as I was that he was clean and smelling fresh. -I really like this product. There was no sticky residue and it smells great. I've tried squirt-on waterless shampoos before, but this foam bath is way better. The foam is thicker and richer and distributes the cleaning agent much more effectively, so you end up using less of it. -note: Although it is a waterless shampoo, the foam itself does dampen your dog's coat, but you do not need to rinse it out. Just allow the product to do its magic. -Once you towel dry your dog, it dries quickly and leaves the coat super soft and smelling great! I loved it! -Your dog hates regular baths but could really use one about now. -Your dog has been sick or is recovering from surgery and could use some spot cleaning. -You have an older or arthritic dog that has a hard time getting in and out of the tub. -You have company coming over and just no time to give your dog(s) a regular bath. -You have a multi-dog household and regular bath day becomes an all day job that's a nightmare. -It's great for cleaning dogs during those cold winter months. -It's a great product to carry along on trips or outings, just in case your dog gets into a smelly situation. -It's safe for dogs and puppies over 6 weeks of age. -For those who normally bathe their dogs at home: This no mess, no fuss, no back-breaking foam bath is easy to do and allows you to put off having to give your dog the traditional bath so often. -For those who usually take their dog to a groomer: Extends the time in-between regular visits to the dog groomer, thereby saving you time and money $$. -So for a great alternative to regular shampoos and the dreaded task of giving your dog a bath, try Fresh Dog ™!

In the space of three months we lost my mother and both her parents. -Since that time, as a Hampshire Photographer I have been looking for something that would help with the grieving process. It was about 2years ago when I met a photographer who occasionally compiled slideshows for a funeral director. We spoke and the conversation that I had sparked my interest. I undertook some research and with the help of a few friends I decided to add this to my business. -What benefit could this be? -Celebration of Life slideshows are about paying tribute to an individual by celebrating their life. It’s using the images and or video taken over a lifetime adding a soundtrack of music or spoken word and displaying the slideshow at a family and friends gathering. The gathering could be a funeral wake, golden wedding celebration, a retirement, significant birthday, wedding and I am sure that you can think of a few more. -A Celebration of Life slideshow brings together the images/video that have been stored in a box, a book, on a pc hard drive and gives the opportunity to share those memorable moments with others. People can rediscover those forgotten moments, to learn of moments unknown but above all to remember the times that we were spent in that persons company. -The slideshow can be watched time and time again. It is a lasting memory that forms part of the family tree and can be handed down to the younger generations, leaving a legacy of what has passed and who people were. -Are you thinking of how you can leave a legacy, then contact Martin and talk to him about having a slideshow commissioned for you. -Green Screen Photography is the use of a green or blue backdrop it allows the use of any background that you or the client wants behind them. The news use this process for the weather. -To begin with a green/blue background is placed behind the subject. The subject needs to be placed about six feet from the background (helps minimize color bleed). As a minimum of two studio light are used to light the subject (but no hair light), these are set roughly at 45° either side of the subject and about six feet in front of them. This is to evenly light the subject and produce minimum shadow. -Set the lights to your preferred light setting then you are ready to start photographing. -Subject against a green background. -In the first place to create your masterpiece, the image(s) need to be processed in photo software. Load your image(s) into the software and process to your preferred RAW settings (you are using RAW) and it’s in editing space of Photoshop then the magic begins. -In the first place use the select-colour range. When the box appears use sampled colours (top of box), quick mask (bottom of box) and tick the invert box. Next use the left eyedropper to sample the green in the image. At this stage the green will turn orange. Keep using the eyedropper to pick the green background until it is all orange. It is important not to use the eyedropper on the subject. If you have a space between an arm and body this will change to orange as you click the green background. -Once you have an orange background slide the fuzziness slider to the right to ensure that all the background orange is similar. Click the OK button, the orange disappears and this leaves you with marching ants around the subject. -Next click select-fine edge and the refine edge box appears. In view mode, select a white background. Next tick smart radius and set the slider to 30. Next adjust the smooth slider to 15, tick the Output decontaminate colors and move the slider to 70. Set the output to new layer with layer mask. Now use the refine radius tool (next to the edge detection and choose by right clicking), set the brush size to about 78 and go around the hair. Once you have completed this click OK, this leaves you with the subject visible and no background. -Now you need to click on the layer mask, set the mode above the mask to overlay. Select the brush tool, set this to overlay and brush opacity to 20%. Go around the hair, you will notice a slight shrinkage (try at 100% if you want to see it happen). 20% just adjusts slightly however you may still have a green color on the hair and possibly clothes. -The next step is to click, create new layer button. When the new layer appears in the layer stack, right click to the right of the layer and click create clipping mask (a little left hand bent arrow appears). Go to the blend mode above and click hue, then select the brush tool. At the top of the editing space you select Normal in the mode box and 100% opacity. -Put the cursor over the hair in the area you want the green to disappear. Use the alt keyboard button to select that area of hair, now brush over the area next to this and watch the green disappear. Continue doing this on the rest of the hair. If you have a green tinge on white clothing then use the same method. Once complete all of the green tinge should now be gone in the image. You can now introduce your new background as a new layer, you may have to move the layer down the stack. -That’s how simple it is. Now it’s time to experiment. -Using Photoshop to remove the green tinge around the hair. -Want to find out more, contact Martin and see what can be achieved. -Shop Yokohama Tires Edwardsville, IL :: Jerry's Tire Sales, Inc. -Jerry''s Tire Sales, Inc. is proud to offer Yokohama tires to Edwardsville, IL, East Alton, IL, Granite City, IL, and surrounding areas at some of the lowest prices around.

Assembled and shipped 10 raw sets and sent the rest for powdercoat! -PERSECUTION of Christians is increasing and for millions of its faithful around the world, 2015 has been a “year of fear”, says Open Doors, which once again has placed North Korea as the most dangerous place to be a Christian. -Open Doors, has supported the persecuted church since its founding by Brother Andrews 50 years ago, and each year publishes its World Watch list of the top 50 most dangerous countries to be a Christian. -“Islamic extremism remains by far the most common driver of persecution: in eight out of the top 10, and 35 out of the top 50 countries, it is the primary cause,” says the 2016 Open Doors World Watch List. -“A rise in Islamic extremism sees Pakistan at its highest position ever, and Libya entering the top ten for the first time,” says the Open Doors reported. -It says research shows that persecution against Christians has increased so dramatically that persecution has risen even in those countries that have dropped out of its top 50. -Open Doors rates the level of persecution as “extreme” in nine countries. For the 14th year in a row, North Korea is top of the list; followed by Iraq, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. -The north east African reclusive State of Eritrea has entered the top five for the first time. -“Religious extremism – Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist – is the greatest source of persecution of Christians,” says Open Doors, while noting that “gender violence is a weapon of persecution: women and girls are on the frontline.”. -Open Doors records show that worldwide there were over 7,000 Christians killed for faith-related reasons in the year – almost 3,000 more than the previous year. -It says its estimates exclude North Korea, Syria and Iraq, where accurate records do not exist. -Around 2,400 churches were attacked or damaged – over double the number for last year. In terms of violence against Christians and Christian property, Nigeria and Central African Republic topped the list. -One of its key findings is that never before have so many Christians been on the move. -The entry of India, often referred to as the world’s biggest democracy, into the top 20 most dangerous place at17 is a first. -Open Doors says, “Persecution in India is extremely violence – and the violence is increasing. -“More than 350 Christians were physically attacked, at least nine Christians were killed for their faith and at least three women were raped in the reporting year. -“Attacks mainly come from Hindu extremists, although extremist Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists and Maoists have all targeted Christians. -It’s vital that everyone, from fishers to retailers, scientists to consumers, has confidence in the blue MSC label and the credibility of the claims made by MSC certified organisations. -Below we have detailed the safeguards we put in place to ensure confidence in the MSC label. Collectively, these safeguards make up what we call the MSC assurance system. This system is used to make sure the assessment process for fisheries and supply chain businesses is working and meets best practice. -Additionally, our Fisheries and Chain of Custody Standards, which fisheries and businesses are assessed against, are compliant with international benchmarking bodies. -Under the MSC program, fisheries can get certified if they meet the MSC Fisheries Standard. -The MSC operates a third-party certification program. This means we do not assess or certify fisheries. -Fishery assessments are carried out by teams of auditors who are experts in fisheries science and management and are independent of the fishery and the MSC. The certification process is managed by an independent conformity assessment body (also known as a CAB). -The MSC, in consultation with stakeholders, sets standards for sustainable fisheries and supply chains. The independent assessments are carried out by the CABs, following specific processes that are also set by MSC. -This third-party system means consumers can be confident that the outcomes of assessments are free from the influence of either the client or the MSC. -Third-party certification is widely regarded as the most trustworthy system for objective assessments. However, there can still be risks to the integrity of the system – such as real or perceived conflicts of interest – and these must be mitigated. -There are multiple opportunities for stakeholders to contribute to specific fishery assessments. This helps to ensure assessments are balanced, evidence-based and reflect all available information. -If stakeholders have an issue with the way an assessment has been carried out, they can raise official objections or complaints. -For a fishery to become certified, an assessment team reviews all the evidence received during the assessment process. -This includes evidence from the fishery, a site visit with staff interviews, input from stakeholders during the site visit and submitted in writing, and independent scientific input including from peer reviewers. -Assessment teams can be part of a CAB, or they can be hired by a CAB to complete specific assessments. -CABs also have further assurance systems in place. For example, assessors must submit their reports to the CAB for further review. A second qualified person within the CAB takes the final decision on whether to certify a fishery. -To ensure the consistency, independence and impartiality of the MSC fishery certification process, all fishery assessment reports are peer-reviewed by independent scientists. -For example, the scientists might comment on the scores a fishery received, or on any information that seems to be missing in the CAB’s rationale for the scoring. Any issues raised by the peer reviewers must be considered and responded to by the CAB. -The MSC strengthened the peer review process by formally establishing an independent Peer Review College from 1 September 2017, following an 18-month pilot phase. -The College currently includes around 90 experts in marine science and fisheries management, enabling each assessment to be checked by members with expertise in the relevant field, and without a conflict of interest. The Peer Review College normally assigns two peer reviewers to check each fishery assessment report. -To maintain its impartiality and independence, the College has an Oversight Committee that is appointed by the MSC Board of Trustees. Two additional third-party experts also verify the candidates for each review and provide quality assurance. -Professor at University of Tasmania, consultant through SainSolutions and Commissioner with the Australian Fishery Management Authority. Expert in fishery assessment and fishery management systems, including ecosystem-based approaches. -Vice-President for Science and board member of the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF). Expert in tuna, large pelagics and Regional Fisheries Management Organisations. -Deputy Director General, Sustainability and Biosecurity, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, Government of Western Australia. Expert on fisheries management systems and national-level engagement with the MSC program. -Principal Research Scientist at the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research. Long experience as Editor-in-Chief of marine and fisheries science journals and expert on best practice in scientific publishing, including ethics. -Chief Scientist-Emeritus, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada. Expert in fisheries science and management, conservation of biodiversity and international policy and governance. -Independent consultant, recently retired from the International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Chair of the ICES Advisory Committee, 2014-2018. Expert on fisheries science and management. -The Peer Review College Oversight Committee reviews the performance of the peer review system at least once a year. Peer reviewer’s comments are checked by the third-party experts along with the responses made by the CABs. If any issues are identified, the College can provide targeted training to the reviewers or make changes to improve the system. -Read more about how we’re maintaining best practice. -All companies that buy and sell certified seafood comply with the MSC Chain of Custody Standard. As with fisheries, these companies are certified by a third-party audit. -This means all seafood sold with the MSC blue fish label can be traced back to a certified sustainable source. This is important because around 30% of seafood globally is mislabelled. DNA testing has shown that mislabelling rates for MSC labelled seafood are less than 1%. -A traceable supply chain is necessary to fight seafood fraud. It means consumers can trust that what they are eating really is what it says on the packet. -Our Chain of Custody Standard set us apart from other sustainable seafood initiatives, such as ratings cards, that don’t guarantee traceability. -We go to great lengths to ensure we meet the highest international benchmarks for credible certification and ecolabeling. -The MSC Fisheries Standard is based in part on the UN FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing. The Code provides principles and standards for the conservation, management and development of fisheries around the world. -standards based on the three factors - sustainability of target species, ecosystems and management practices. -The MSC runs the first global certification program for wild caught seafood to be recognised by the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI), an independent benchmark for the credibility of sustainable seafood certification programs. GSSI was developed by a coalition of environmental NGOs, global businesses, industry experts, governments and intergovernmental organisations and is based on UN FAO codes and guidelines. -The MSC program meets all the essential components of the GSSI benchmark, and a further 63 supplementary components relating to issues such as deep sea fishing and vulnerable marine ecosystems. -We are the only wild seafood certification program to be a full member of ISEAL, the global membership association for credible sustainability standards. -Monitoring and evaluation is in place to demonstrate the impacts of the program. -We're regularly audited to ensure that we meet these codes. -Other full members of ISEAL include Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade International and the Forest Stewardship Council. -For 70 years, the International Standards Organisation (ISO) has published standards for companies and certifiers globally. Over 1 million companies are certified to ISO standards including the standard for quality management (ISO 9001). -The following ISO standards are built into the MSC’s assurance system. They define controls on conflict of interest, complaint resolution and accrediting a CAB. -The World Trade Organization (WTO) Technical Barriers to Trade Agreement exists to ensure standards and regulations do not create unnecessary obstacles to trade. ISEAL has sought a legal opinion from the Centre for International Environmental Law (CIEL) which confirms that all organisations consistent with the ISEAL Code of Good Practice, are not technical barriers to trade. -In addition to meeting international norms and guidelines for best practice, our program is well regarded by numerous international organisations who scrutinise the role of standard setting in safeguarding our oceans. -The MSC and other credible standard setters are seen to have a key role to play in helping companies and governments to achieve the United Nations Environment Programme’s Sustainable Development Goals by providing best practice guidance for 'what good looks like' in a specific industry. -MSC certification is used as an indicator in the UN Convention on Biodiversity’s Aichi Targets. Part of the UN’s decade-long initiative to significantly reduce biodiversity loss by 2020, these targets were widely consulted with the international conservation and governance community. -Just as we develop our standards in accordance with the latest scientific understanding, we periodically review our entire program. -The MSC is currently reviewing the assurance system to increase its effectiveness and address real or perceived issues within the system. -The review is focused on key work areas running from 2018-2020. -Assurance Oversight: The first step is to review the overall assurance system and identify any quick wins. This includes strengthening our training programs, improving our Quality Management System, scrutinising conflict of interest controls and more focus on data monitoring. -Certification Process Review: In the medium term, we have identified three key areas of the certification process for review: the closing and tracking of conditions, the objections process and dispute resolution mechanism for stakeholders in fisheries assessments. Improving these processes could help ensure fishery assessments are fair and lead to better outcomes. -Standard Review: On a longer timescale, we are addressing a number of different aspects of the MSC Fisheries Standard through the Fisheries Standard Review. -The Marine Stewardship Council is an international non-profit organisation. We recognise and reward efforts to protect oceans and safeguard seafood supplies. -You can trust that seafood with the blue MSC label was caught by a responsible fishery in a sustainable way. -Data from the MSC is used by the UN Environment Programme to track progress towards international goals to end overfishing and protect biodiversity. -International Mobile Equipment Identity (Identifica231;227;o Internacional de Equipamento M243;vel), mais conhecido por IMEI, 233; um n250;mero de identifica231;227;o global e 250;nico para cada telefone celular.

The center manages research, development and acquisition of military space systems.

The plan involved acquisition of two pieces of real estate adjoining the R&D Center. An aircraft plant owned by the Navy at the northwest corner of Aviation and El Segundo Boulevards, was transferred to the Air Force in October 1962. Another site at the southwest corner of the same intersection, was owned by a mining company. The Aerospace Corporation acquired that site in November 1962 and built its new headquarters there between February 1963 and April 1964. By April 10, 1964, the Air Force property at the intersection of Aviation and El Segundo Boulevards was designated as Los Angeles Air Force Station, which was redesignated as Los Angeles Air Force Base in September 1987. -In 2006, Area A of LAAFB was permanently closed after a deal with a local builder to exchange the land in Area A for the creation of the Schriever Space Complex on Area B and other new facilities.

As new safety Eric Reid gets his legs under him and further comprehends the playbook, his impact should grow. -"We have great players in this locker room and we've accepted him with open arms", Newton said. "I publicly declared that I didn't agree with his comments and I asked anybody that was interested if they wanted clarification [to] go to Odell because he's a big man". -That's why it shouldn't be a huge surprise when Newton flattened New York Giants linebacker Kareem Martin when the Panthers ran a trick play and Newton turned into a blocker. -These are the key players for the Carolina Panthers to secure a win over the New York Giants and to keep pace in the NFC South. -Now, we don't know whether Bruce was watching these last few plays - but based on how down and out he looks here. we're just gonna say it's very possible. -Newton is probably the most multitalented quarterback in the NFL.

A question I receive daily. You would think the question would be, "How can I be permanently thin?" But that's not the case. The majority of the time it's about "am I too fat" as opposed to seeking a real and practical solution to the overweight problem. -There is no mystery why people are fat. The average American consumes 20% more calories than 20 years ago. The average American will consume approximately 100 calories more per day than they will burn. An energy gap equaling a yearly weight gain of 10.4 pounds. -Reasons and causes of obesity are numerous. Learned behavior, biological, environmental are only a few factors that influence obesity. In my experience, three factors are constant with overweight people -- sedentary lifestyle, chronic dieting and poor eating habits. -Don't ask, "Why am I fat?" -Ask, "How can I lose weight and keep it off?" -Symptoms of obesity are easily identifiable. For instance, if you don't eat breakfast, you are four times more likely to be overweight than those who do. If you eat at fast food restaurants at least once per day, double your likelihood of an overweight problem. A Harvard University study revealed young people ate 110 to 165 more calories than they burned daily, for ten years, resulting in an average 58 pound weight gain! Approximately 25% of the vegetables consumed by the average American consists of potato chips and french fries. -"How can I reach my ideal body weight and maintain it for life?" My answer is simple. Reduce portions and increase your level of physical activity. Once you reach your ideal weight, when weight loss is no longer an issue, begin to improve the nutritional value of your diet. Repeat daily until you establish automatic subconscious habits. See Sequence of Weight Loss Success for more. -I always get the feeling when someone asks "Why am I fat?", it's because the person is embarrassed. By pretending to not know the causes of obesity, they can not be expected to correct the problem. A simple absolution of responsibility. -There is nothing wrong with you! You don't need to feel embarrassed or ashamed of your weight. This is the biggest obstacle to success you must overcome... You! How you feel about yourself. -You have not broken any laws. You are not a criminal. If you are a social outcast or living in isolation it's because you choose to do so. Once you understand weight loss is completely in your control, that weight loss is certain because it's guaranteed by your choices, actions, behaviors and attitude -- once you have this epiphany, weight loss is no longer hard, difficult or a mystery. -There is no difference between overweight people and naturally thin people. Both want the best for their kids. Both want good jobs and a happy and safe home. The only difference is how the overweight view themselves. This poor self-image is at the very root of the helpless feeling and confusion the overweight have about losing weight. -Combine poor self-image caused by a society obsessed with "size 4 syndrome" with a history of chronic dieting that causes progressive weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle and you have a prescription for life long cascading weight gain and obesity. -All of this is so avoidable it breaks my heart. First, you must repair your damaged self-image. Like yourself. Respect yourself. So you've gained weight. You're fat. Big deal. Join the 66% of the entire American population that suffers the same condition. Obesity is the norm in America! So don't allow society to label you an "out of control outcast." Don't buy into the weight loss is a great achievement misconception. Weight loss will be as easy as you make it. As sure as your commitment to it. And I'm telling you the 100% truth when I say you have every resource within you necessary to lose weight and live life free of all weight issues. -Why am I fat? Am I too fat?

Overcome that obstacle and you're weight loss success is assured. -I recommend reviewing 110 Quick Weight Loss Tips and Portion Perversion sections of this web site.

But when The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue debuted in 2013, it found its footing quickly around the Big Apple, distinguishing itself with modern, glamorous décor; an impressive contemporary art collection; crave-worthy Mediterranean fare at Ai Fiori from popular chef Michael White; and touches that Langham is known for, like the sweet ginger flower scent drifting through the building and the pink flowers adorning the lobby. -The Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel eventually became the U.S. flagship for the brand, whose origins go back to 1865 with the opening of the opulent London outpost. -As The Langham, New York celebrates its fifth anniversary, we checked in with managing director Richard Bussiere, who shared how luxury has evolved over the years and where to find the best view in the Midtown hotel. -How has the hotel changed since opening five years ago? -In the five years since this hotel became The Langham, we have made some exciting cosmetic changes to the hotel in the form of new guest rooms, actually increasing our room count by 20 through some clever reconfigurations, and adding in two well-designed Penthouses and a Presidential Suite. We also completely revamped and expanded our event space, The Gallery at The Langham, to allow us to better host more signature events. -And we installed a multimillion-dollar art collection by the famed New York painter Alex Katz — the largest private collection of his work outside of a museum that we know of in New York City. -But the most impactful change has been that, in transitioning an existing hotel to be a Langham, we have come to embody all of the best elements of the Langham brand, which has instilled a greater sense of pride in our employees, many of which have been here since the building first opened, and have made us better every day in the service we provide our guests. -How have the guests changed? -When Langham took over this hotel, there was a lack of recognition among travelers in the U.S. about the Langham brand, and there was a perception that Midtown was not an ideal location for a luxury hotel. -Over the last five years, awareness of the Langham brand name has grown, not only domestically but internationally, and Midtown has become a hot spot for hotel development, taking away the perception that this location isn’t ready for a luxury hotel. Both of those factors have allowed our guest loyalty to grow stronger, so we have seen an increase in repeat guests as well as more guests coming from the cities in which our sister hotels are located. -What does luxury hospitality mean to you? -Twenty-five years ago, “luxury” had a very limited definition. It spoke to customers of a certain age, who drove a specific type of car, lived at a certain address, held a certain position in life. There were certain expectations of a luxury hotel that were understood and well-defined, by both the guests and the industry at large. -Luxury consumers in 2018 are less defined. They can be from any walk of life, any age, any nationality. And, more often than not, they tell us what luxury is to them rather than us predicting what it will be on their behalf. -For those reasons, it is important to stay nimble, be innovative and to personalize the service you offer in the luxury market, because it changes based on the desires of each guest you serve. -What do you think makes The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue special? -I truly believe our best asset is our colleagues. Being well-versed in the art of hospitality is not something that everyone can attain. We have managed to find and hold onto some of the very best in the industry that have this skill. They stay with us because we continually celebrate their success at the hotel level but also company-wide. -Some of the stories I could tell you about how our colleagues have gone above and beyond for our guests would give you goosebumps. But even on the most basic level, there is not one member of our team who doesn’t live our values here at The Langham. -And we empower them to make our guests happy. No gesture is too big or too small if it will help that guest create a great memory of their time at our hotel. -What are your favorite parts of the hotel? -I love our event space, The Gallery at The Langham. It has wonderful natural light and it’s where we house most of our art collection by Alex Katz. It has been the setting for some of our most memorable moments at the hotel as well, since it is where I have the most opportunities to interact with our guests at special events and celebrations. -I also like the view from the southern side of the building — our Empire State Views. Not only do they afford a spectacular view of the Empire State Building but, on a clear day, you can see all the way down Fifth Avenue to One World Trade Center, which is an inspiring sight. -What is next for the hotel? -We are currently investigating whether we have the space in the hotel to build a Club Lounge, which is something that Langham Hotels around the world are known for, and which would be a wonderful addition for our guests. -We are also continuing to strengthen our hotel as being one of the most sustainable in New York City. We currently hold Silver Status from EarthCheck, the independent benchmarking agency employed by Langham Hospitality Group, and we are going for Gold. We have committed to decreasing the overall output of waste from the hotel. -For example, we invested in a state-of-the-art Orca machine that turns food waste into environmentally safe water, and which allows us to break down 700 pounds of food per day. On average this investment has allowed us to keep 4,000 pounds of organic waste from going to landfill. -Langham is opening a hotel in Dubai in 2020. What else is going on for the brand? -Langham is expanding in very exciting ways over the next few years. In addition to Dubai, Langham has hotels planned for Tokyo, San Francisco and Jakarta, among other locations. -I started in this industry out of college in 1980. In 1986, I moved to Asia as an expatriate, first in China and then in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. I came back to the U.S. in 2013 to work as the managing director of The Langham, Boston — my first time working in the U.S. in nearly 30 years. -This then lead to my current position, as managing director at Langham, overseeing both The Langham, Boston and The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue, which is really the pinnacle of a career spent doing what I love. To have the opportunity to lead a luxury hotel in the middle of Fifth Avenue to greater and greater success is an achievement that makes me feel proud and excited to come to work every single day. -If you are charged with DUI, you face automatic suspension of your license unless you request a hearing to contest the suspension.

This question doesn’t have an obvious answer, partly because there are many contributors to success. But in a discussion with Open Silicon at the recent IoT DevCon, it became clear to me that taking their view into account makes for two opposing forces – forces they’re trying to unify. -On the one side, there are numerous companies trying to jump into the IoT fray. The IoT involves many technologies, and many of these companies don’t come to the party as experts in all of them. So platforms are a common way to get designers up and running as quickly as possible. -Such platforms pre-package many of the technology bits – that’s the point. The good news is that you don’t have to futz with those bits to get things working, and you can focus on domain-specific functionality and get to market quickly. The bad news is that, if everyone uses such platforms, then there is little room left for differentiation, since most of the underlying plumbing is the same. -That might not be an issue in the early days. If you’re the first guy to do a rattlesnake early-alert app for hikers, then that’s your differentiation; no one else does it. Simple. But once you have competition, if you’re all using similar platforms, then your only real differentiation is your app. Anyone ever notice the user interfaces on phone apps? Yeah, they’re dead dumb simple because fat thumbs can’t poke small buttons and over-40 eyes can’t read tiny print. (Hint: Google – or any – maps… little help?) So there’s not much room to differentiate in the app itself. -Open Silicon says that, even if you can use lower-level software to differentiate, the economics don’t work out. (I’m taking that at face value; I haven’t seen their math, nor have I gone through the process myself.) Their assertion is that you need to customize in hardware to differentiate in a way that will pay dividends. -They’re trying to ease IoT SoC development by providing the building blocks for an IoT edge node, from the sensor interface (not the actual sensor) through to the wireless radio, and then work with their customers to establish customization, implemented in hardware, that differentiates the end product. The idea is that, based on the IP already available to Open Silicon (either their own or via IP subs), they can spin something up very quickly. While not typical, they had one tier-1 customer that finished a design from spec to tapeout in six months. And, because most of this can be done on older process nodes (in the 65 – 180-nm range), mask costs aren’t as astronomical as might be feared on an aggressive node. -Their focus tends to be more industrial, so their radio preferences are LoRa for longer range (based largely on a relationship they have with Semtech) and WirelessHART (industrial-strength features over the 802.15.4 radio standard that’s familiar via Zigbee)*. -Differentiating via hardware can be a bold move, especially in a new market, where change is rapid and hardware change is not rapid. This probably isn’t a strategy for a small company with moderate volumes, and I assume that they’re not stating that only companies large enough to afford custom (or customized) SoCs will ever make money. In fact, a large company might have the capacity to do their designs in-house rather than using an outside partner like Open Silicon, so there’s this middle profile of customer that could command large volumes but require outside services. -In addition, the IoT is very much of an agile play: get something out there, see what works, fix what doesn’t. And do it with quick iterations. Accomplishing that with a hardware differentiation angle could be a tough play. But if you can manage it, there may be some money to be made if Open Silicon’s assertion is correct. -The fundamental purpose of matter management is to manage costs and risk, and ensure performance and compliance. But it can be so much more. At Mosaic Consulting, we aim to help you unleash the capabilities of whatever matter management systems you use. -Our goal is to understand every aspect of your legal operations workflow and utilize our deep knowledge and experience to evaluate your processes and technology across the entire matter management lifecycle.

The festivities, which involved lots of drinking and consuming of slaughtered animals, lasted up to 12 days, hence the 12 days of Christmas. -In Scandinavia it is still traditional to leave food out (usually porridge with butter) for the little red-capped tomte or nisse (household spirits or house elves) and thus we have the tradition of leaving food (usually cookies) out for Father Christmas, who in Sweden is called the Jul Tomte (the Yule Elf). -Another tradition in Scandinavia is that of the Christmas goat, whose origins are lost in the mists of time. The Jul Bok (Yule goat) is nowadays usually made from straw, which indicates that it was probably once an offering from the last harvest (like the British corn dollies), but other traditions have a man dressing up as goat at Yuletide, which could be distant memory of a pagan fertility ritual, or even be connected to the two goats who pulled Thor's chariot in Norse mythology. -Yule is the turning of the year when, as the days slowly start to get longer, the Nordic peoples celebrated the end of the year and the return of the sun, the completion of the another yearly cycle of life, death and rebirth. -The winter solstice was a particularly inauspicious the night when Odin was said to ride through the skies with the Wild Hunt collecting the souls of the dead. So everyone stayed indoors feasting, afraid to go outside lest they be caught out alone and abducted by the Wild Hunt. -The Modern English word Yule comes down to us via the Middle English yol from the Anglo-Saxon Geol, though nowadays it is more commonly known as Christmastide or the 12 Days of Christmas. However in Scandinavia they still call it jul (pronounced yule) or jol. One of the many names of Odin recorded in the Icelandic sources is Jolnir, which means The Yule One. Though this name probably refers to his role as leader of the Wild Hunt at Yule, rather than to a jolly giver of gifts! (I can find no evidence for the claim on Wikipedia that Odin was known as Jolfaðr, the Yule Father). -So how did Yule become Christmas? King Hakon of Norway, who was a Christian, passed a law that the Christian Christmas Day and the Pagan Yuletide celebrations were to be henceforth celebrated at the same time. While this only impacted the Norwegian territories it illustrates how these festivals were intentionally combined into one celebration. -We do know that the celebration of Yule wasn’t always twelve days long. The Norse text 'Heimskringla: The Saga of Hakon the Good' talks about it lasting for three days, or as long as the ale continued. The night it began was known as slaughter night, where animals would be ritually slain and their blood collected in bowls to be splattered over the wooden idols of the gods and over the participants using a bunch of twigs. The animals' meat was then consumed in a feast which was known at the julblot. -Other sources tell of the burning of a Yule log, the ashen remains of which were used to ward off evil spirits and other misfortunes, before being ignited again the following year to start the subsequent Yule fire. Also there was the eating of a Yule boar in honour of Freyr, a god associated with the harvest and fertility, who in Christian times became associated with St Stephen and his feast day of 26th December. -More variations can be found in 'Gulathingslog 7', where Yule was celebrated ‘for a fertile and peaceful season,’ we also see in the 'Saga of Hakon the Good' that Odin was hailed at this time as the bringer of victory, while Njord and Freyr were hailed for peace and fertility. Grimm’s Teutonic Mythology speaks of how Frau Holle’s annual wagon toured the countryside during the Yuletide season for blessings of a fruitful year ahead. Deities associated with winters, like the winter hunters Ullr and Skadhi, were also sometimes hailed. Since this is the day of darkest night, Nott (Goddess of Night), as well as silver-gleaming Mani (God of the Moon), may be honored. Some will also honor Dagr (God of Day) and Sunna (Goddess of the Sun) as she will only grow in prominence in the months ahead. -Odin, in his aspect as the God of Death and Transition, is almost always honored at this time. The Wild Hunt rages over the whole world seeking out and sweeping up the dead, ushering out the dead old year itself. It's also common to honor Freyr and an envisioned new year of growth and promise. Also, Thor is honored for driving back the Frost Giants. -It was customary that no work was to be done during Yuletide. From Germanic sources we see stories of the Goddess Berchta visiting peoples houses and punishing those who had been spinning during Yule. In the Icelandic 'Svarfdæla Saga', we see a warrior who postpones a fight until after the Yuletide, and 'The Saga of Hakon the Good' also says that Yule was to be kept holy. -Modern Heathens opt to celebrate this time as the Twelve Days of Yule, with the last day culminating on 12th Night. Ancient calendars followed a different method of time, the solstice celebrations, as well as later Christmas observances, can vary from place to place as to when they occur. Today, most Pagans and Heathens celebrate the Yuletide as running from approximately December 20 – December 31. -Some Heathen groups opt to conduct no business matters during the time of Yule. Some practitioners of the Northern Tradition will even choose to completely withdraw and go secluded from online mailing lists, bulletin boards, and social media outlets like Facebook so they can stay focused on spending the Yuletide with friends and family. While it’s not always an option for everyone, there are those who choose to use vacation time from work so they can have the entire Yuletide off as well. -Yuletide was perhaps the greatest of all Heathen holidays. It was a time of celebration and close family contact that lasted twelve days and nights; each of which can be viewed as a month of the preceding year in miniature. Many of the customs associated with Christmas may have begun from Heathen Yule rites and customs. Many Gods and Goddesses are honored during Yuletide, and most followers of Asatru believe that the gods, as well as the spirits of the earth and the ancestors, join us for the celebrations at this time of year. -Many traditions and practices are traditional to the month of Yule the most well known is, of course, the 12 Days of Yule. Some Heathens may bookend Yule with Mother’s Night and Twelfth Night and not have specific observances in-between those days, and some other Heathens have taken things a step further. Pulling inspiration from the Nine Noble Virtues, and combining it with candle-lighting celebrations like Chanukah or Kwanzaa, they have come up with a reason to light a candle every night during the Yuletide. -The alter on Yule should face north, the area is decorated with holly and mistletoe and dried leaves and fruit such as hips and haw. A chalice of appropriate wine, mead or cider. The oak or pine log with up to 13 green, white and red candles decorated with carvings, runes or symbols is placed centrally on the altar. The appropriate fragranced incense burning and scenting the air, e.g., bay, juniper, cedar, pine or rosemary is pretty good for this. -There are several versions and variations to the 12 days of Yule. I like to call it the Twelve Nights of Yule since I usually hold the honor at night and it is the darkest time of the year. The version below is a combination with the most common points. Each night starts with the main focus followed by a reading and closed with a virtue meditation. Alternatively, a month is offered each night as a reflection. -Glad Yuletide to Everyone. Hail! -There are over 1,700 ornaments in the Kuehn pewter collection and we only feature a few hundred here. These pages include bears and owls, witches and geese. A grab-bag of ornaments you might enjoy! -So much for Global Warming. We really need to prepare for what happens if we continue down this path of colder winters. The ground freezes and it can freeze even down two-feet. That means good luck on growing anything. It has been so cold, that even the rails for trains broke in three different places between Baltimore and Washington on Thursday. So even trains were delayed or canceled as Amtrak did for trains passing through Chicago. -It has been so cold, the tracks freeze and the only way to switch tracks is to set them on fire. Of course, the tracks themselves were not truly burning. They are made out of steel. The fires in Chicago on the tracks this week show flames smoldering in patches of melted snow around the tracks. The photos look wild and dangerous as if it were some apocalyptic image. The steel does not actually burn of melt. The flames simply keep the ice off the tracks at junctions where they need to switch tracks for trains passing through. -It is time to start SERIOUS investigation into climate change and knock off this global warming nonsense which has been an excuse to raise taxes. A few more years of cold weather like this and you will see severe shortages in food being to emerge for 2024. The previous lowest temperature in all of Chicago history was 27 degrees below zero, which was a record set on January 20th, 1985. This past week almost broken that record reaching 23 degrees. But the wind-chill factor was certain far worse. -The federal government is again facing the prospect of a shutdown, this time on September 30, unless Congress can find a way to pass its remaining appropriations bills, or come up with some sort of short-term solution. -Currently, government funding is set to run out just 37 days before Nov. 6, the day of the midterm elections . Republicans control both the Senate and House, along with the presidency, but Trump and lawmakers have put the blame on Democrats for not passing immigration reform . -Whether Congress will bow to the pressure remains to be seen. Republicans are not keen on handing Democrats a shutdown to use against them in advance of the November elections, so some movement is likely. However, Congress has only a handful of working days before the September 30 deadline. We would think the worthies would redouble their efforts to get the budget passed, and forge a compromise the president can accept. But nothing with Congress is certain, except they can be counted on to wait until the last minute to act. -After much anticipation, Melania Trump has finally given the world a glimpse of her platform. -Like those before her, Trump is keen to make a difference in her own unique way. Speaking in the Rose Garden, she officially launched "Be Best," which tackles three key pillars: well-being, social media and opioid abuse. -But what does it take to be effective as first lady, especially amid an ever moving spectrum of expectations, responsibility and public opinion? -The first lady's communications director, Stephanie Grisham, recently stated that most first ladies have focused on a single issue. In fact, several presidential spouses in the last century have taken on multiple causes, and Trump can look to them for guidance. To be successful, here are three recommendations from the Bush Institute's report "A Role Without a Rulebook" that Trump should consider implementing. -1. Develop a strategic vision. -As first lady, Trump is uniquely positioned to be a compassionate listener and supportive facilitator. As she develops this platform, she should clearly define actionable goals that engage citizens at local and national levels. -She can look to her peer, Laura Bush, who launched "Ready to Read, Ready to Learn" with two clear objectives in mind: to ensure young children are prepared when they enter their first classroom, and once there have well-trained, qualified teachers. She also addressed how these goals would be achieved. By outlining a clear mission alongside defined actions, Bush was able to make progress on these goals during her time as first lady. -2. Engage with citizens and peers. -In a polarized political climate, Trump must embrace the opportunity to transcend boundaries. Unelected but official, she is able to build bridges between government and civil society. For example, one of our most prominent first ladies, Eleanor Roosevelt, championed causes including racial equality, labor rights and women's rights, and she was the first presidential spouse to testify before a congressional committee. Central to her efforts: community and stakeholder outreach. -Engagement with predecessors and peers can also aid Trump's efforts. For example, longstanding advocates for mental health and those battling addictive diseases, Rosalynn Carter and Betty Ford joined forces to advance policy and increase support for services. Reflecting on their collaboration, Carter said: "(Betty and I) could be a stronger force if we worked as partners, and we did for many years." -Trump has the opportunity to use the power of partnership. As political influences, first ladies can reach across industries and ideologies to unite diverse viewpoints and mobilize action. For example, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden launched "Joining Forces," working with the public and private sectors to improve outcomes for service members, veterans and their families by providing the tools needed to succeed throughout their lives. -While the role of first lady is one without a rulebook, these are proven actions that can aid Trump's efforts on a variety of platforms. When used effectively, a first lady's podium serves as a force for change. -Natalie Gonnella-Platts is the deputy director of the Women's Initiative at the George W. Bush Institute and co-author of "A Role Without a Rulebook: The Influence and Leadership of Global First Ladies." She wrote this for InsideSources.com. -I am a visual person. I like pictures and paintings and statues and icons. In fact, I’d much rather have a nice picture to look at than a page of words. Oh don’t get me wrong, I love books with a passion but when it comes to Lent books I do like a picture to get my teeth in to. Last year I took a three month sabbatical from parish work to wander round art galleries near and far to choose forty paintings which spoke to me of Lent. Some of them are old friends, paintings I go back to time and time again, and some are new discoveries which took my breath away. After I had chosen the pictures I spent some time sleeping in a library in Wales writing short meditations to go with them. You may not need the words. You may simply want to gaze upon the painting and think your own thoughts. And that’s fine. But you may find the meditations lead you down a certain path which helps your Lenten devotions. -I am not an art expert by any means. These forty paintings are perhaps not the greatest works of art on the themes I have chosen, but they were the ones which spoke to me last year. Next year I might chose something completely different. Please do comment on the art or the text and we can travel through this Lent together. Each day in Lent I shall post a new image and meditation so add this Lenten blog to your favourites and come back every day to pray and wonder. -I shall be following your images of Lent. Images are so powerful and often say more than words can. -How to reduce genres to only the 125 used by iTunes? -Subject: How to reduce genres to only the 125 used by iTunes? -I read in another post that iTunes uses a standard list of 125 genres. -Is it possible to somehow limit the genres Jaikoz assigns to this list of 125 despite what MB or Discogs genres are? -It would be nice to have a checkbox that says "Limit to iTunes genres". -I've just discovered the "Filter/Non-standard-Genres/Non-standard Filters" option so I guess I could use that to show me which ones are non standard then update them manually however it would be great to have a fuzzy matching option that matches non standard to iTunes standard genres. -Subject: Re:How to reduce genres to only the 125 used by iTunes? -Your best bet it to use the filter non-iTunes filters, non-standardFIlters limits to 255 genres but only half of these are in the predefined list provided by iTunes. -However these options may be misleading you, although iTunes only recognises 125 genres by number you can still use any value to store a genre, it is just stored as text. -The Musicbrainz list is not limited in any sense so it would be rather difficult to map an arbitary Musicbrainz genre to an iTunes one. -Is there anywhere in Jaikoz I can find the list of 255 genres that Jaikoz is using in this filter AND/OR the 125 iTunes genres so I can make sure that my collection only uses these "standard" ones? -Would be good to have a cross matching facility, for example several of my songs have a genre "Rock/Pop" (a single genre) these could be matched to two seperate genres ie "Rock" and "Pop" then for anything not found in Jaikoz's cross matching genre database the User could enter a nominated genre ie "Unknown" so then you have a subset of your music (genre = "Unknown") you know needs to be listened to and a genre manually assigned. -So the the 125 genres listed are the one iTunes understands by genre number. -Paul how about this ...if we got 50 people to each donate $10 OR reach $500 of donations (whichever comes first) would you add a genre cross matching function (as explained above) to Jaikoz? We could keep track by each person posting how much they have donated in this thread. -I would rather see something like what mediamonkey has in some of their plugins. The ability to do white lists, black lists, and grey lists. -That way one would have far more control. For your example, you could use the white list and put in the allowed genres you have listed below. Or one could do a blacklist, which allows everything except for certain tags. This is useful for when you tag from other sources and don't want particular tags to show up. Say I tag from last.fm and don't want the tag "seen live" to be used. Lastly, the grey list would allow for tag replacement. So I could say anytime you run across the tag "rock n roll" replace it with "rock and roll" or "rnb" to "r&b", etc. -2:The limited set of genres is incomplete and doesnt include newer genres , I dont see that this list should be seen as the definitive list. -In September I went to the yearly Musicbrainz Summit and genres were discussed there, see page 12 of https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ihe2nAatrLHfgPOvXWn_VJQVUVQ36iFy5MY03lTBhMM/edit?pli=1, hopefully a solution will emerge if you are interested in this it would be worth your while posting on the musicbrainz mailing list. -Jaikoz does already have a blacklist Preferences:Remote Correct:Correct Genres that supports wildcards, but not a whitelist or greylist, I can see these being useful additions. -Yes was already aware of this and although very helpful in stopping unwanted genres is not useful in correcting anything not on this list. -I see limiting the list to the iTunes this to be a major advantage not a disadvantage even if its not a definitive list. Reason being is that people will always disagree on the exact genre of a song so its better to at least have a standard (the 125 iTunes genres) that people must stay within that way genres become a usable way (currently they are not due to so many genres) to sort, listen and create playlists since you know that when you select "Rock & Roll" genre you're getting all your Rock & Roll songs and don't also have to also look under "Rock n Roll", "Rock and Roll", "Rock/Roll" etc. -As its stands there are currently so many permutations of genres it makes them unusable so it would be good to have an option in Jaikoz to "force" the use of only "standard" genres regardless of what MB or Discogs has assigned to them. Of course this wouldn't prevent people NOT enabling this option and still going with MB, Discogs or their own preferred genres. -I think greengeek's idea of a white lists is a good way of implementing this ie the white list would be initially populated with only the 125 iTunes genres (however Users could edit this list). -In preferences you could "enable" the whitelist which tells Jaikoz to enforce the use of these genres only. You would nominate a genre (eg "Unknown") that Jaikoz would assign to any songs for genres not found on this whitelist. -Again greengeek's idea of a grey list is a good way of enabling Jaikoz to use this list to fuzzy match non standard genres to the iTunes standard genres (or whatever the User decides they want to cross match to) eg "Rock n Roll", "Rock and Roll", "Rock/Roll" would all be in the grey list and be assigned to the iTunes standard "Rock & Roll" OR a genre of the User's choice if they don't want to use iTunes standard ones. -Yes I like this idea of a grey list, although there is a complication. If the user decides to use both Discogs genres and styles, do we need multiple greylists ? -I can't think of a scenario where you'd need two greylists as this list is really what the User wants Jaikoz to use to cross match to their "standard" genres regardless of where the currently assigned genre came from ie was already assigned to song or came from MB or Discogs lookup. -As previously mentioned, by having a checkbox for "Replace unmatched genres with:" [User entered genre ie "Unknown"] the User would also have an option of either leaving unmatched genres as is OR replacing them with their chosen genre which enables them to seperate out these songs for manual review at a latter date. -Here is Metro Sports television schedule for the season.

Once the playoffs begin, Metro Sports chooses their Game of the Week on a weekly basis. -Having shared some beauty tips for teenage girls in my previous article, today we’re discussing another common skin related issue constantly pestering all teenagers be it girls or boys which is Blackheads. Contrary to popular belief, blackheads are not caused by dirt but occur when your pores get clogged with excess sebum and dead skin cells. But there is absolutely no need to spend on expensive blackhead removal treatments when there is so much you can do from your very own kitchen. So Zuri’s got you top 5 DIY remedies to get rid of those unsightly blackheads. -1. Lemon juice: As we all know by now that blackheads are a result of open, clogged pores reacting with oxygen which turn them black. So it would be great if something could shrink those pores down. Lemon is a natural astringent that helps us do just that. So squeeze the juice of a lemon in a bowl, and apply it to the affected areas with a cotton ball to a washed, clean face. Leave it overnight and wash your face with lukewarm water the next morning. Dilute the lemon juice with water in case you have a sensitive skin. -2. Baking soda scrub: Baking soda is also effective in treating blackheads. It helps get rid of all the dirt, grime from deep within the pores. So make a thick paste of baking soda and mineral water and massage the affected areas gently with this paste for a few minutes. Let it dry and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Use this remedy twice a week for best results. -3. Yogurt and oat face pack: Mix together 2 tbsp oats and 3 tbsp yogurt in a bowl. Now add a few drops of lemon juice and olive oil to it. Dab it onto the affected area and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water. Yogurt being rich in lactic acid and oats with its calming properties helps tackle blackheads effectively. -4. Milk and honey pore strips: We are all aware of the blackhead removal strips available in stores. But alternatively you can also use milk and honey for this purpose. Honey is packed with anti-bacterial properties and milk is rich in lactic acid that helps keep skin clean and soft. And when mixed together, they also make for an excellent adhesive. Mix together 1 tbsp honey and 1 tsp milk and heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Now mix it together again and once it reaches a comfortable temperature, apply a thin layer on the blackheads. Next pat a strip of dry, clean cotton on it. Press gently and let it dry for a while. Now carefully peel the strip away and along with it also the blackheads. Later wash the area with cold water and use a moisturizer on top of it. -5. Cinnamon and honey pore strips: Now this one makes for another very effective blackhead removal technique. Cinnamon improves blood circulation, giving your face a healthy glow and honey with its anti-bacterial properties helps get rid of blackheads. So mix together 1 part cinnamon powder and 1 part honey and apply this mixture onto your blackheads. Now press a clean cotton strip on top of it and let it sit for about 2 – 3 minutes. Now gently peel it off. Wash the area and don’t forget to follow up with a moisturizer. -So try one of these simple yet effective remedies and say goodbye to blackheads. -STERLING SILVER Redemption Cross for your pocket.

You can pretty much bet that if the road 'ends' on World Map.. it ENDS inworld. But then World Map doesn't show roads inside sims/regions that are on hub's property and off main route. One I found difficult was New Horizons... you need to FIND way to marina that UNDERNEATH airport. There isn't a road entrance to the airport.. at the airport level. I do inworld 'scouting'/finding with a Jeep.. it's very agile and fun to drive. At New Horizons I can 'fit' it through security gates and even thru doorways!! I've driven it off-road too.. works well for that.. outside of standard blockages... steep terrain, ban lines and orbs. I keep World Map UP on screen when driving (shrunk and off to side) as well as Mini Radar (set to show property lines). With no inworld GPS... it's rough!! -Open 24/7 with lighted helipad.. if you dare! Rural area on Route 10, Bertha Benz Memorial Drive.

There seems to be an invisible prim that's blocking the road, I can't even WALK past the spot on right side road. On off left (and well onto shoulder) I can get around it. It's just before a Sim Crossing and Rez Zone, vehicles definitely will not 'power thru' it. I tried a couple things, though could not 'see it.. can only 'run into it'. I didn't know where else to put this, in forum.. so I stuck it here! -Just wondered since I did notice others at a Hub as I unloaded. I didn’t greet them and hate to say promptly drove off to another destination. yes, some may not care to be identified, but even leaving a ‘name’ off, all other data would be interesting to know. Opt-in would be good, or maybe some kind of aka ID... i’ll take Freight Dawg for my Aka!! Soon I’ll check to see if I can get a new picture here for forum.. so others may recognize me and my rig in-world, as runnin’da goods!! I did pass another truck on road too, we were too darn busy trying to avoid running over each other rather than offering any kind of friendly greetings!! -New driver here.. still using Demo.

Taking up a loan is a personal decision that can affect the borrower’s financial well being. Either positively or negatively. If the money is being borrowed to be invested in appreciating assets or a business venture, this can help improve the borrower’s future financial position. On the contrary, there are people who take up loans to fund their holidays, weddings or other leisure activities that will not earn them any tangible profits. Most of them end up regretting because their financials become a mess after that. Whatever the reason for taking up a loan, there are factors that you will need to consider prior to taking a loan. -First is the economic position of the country which has a direct impact on the interest rate. There are times in an economy when it is not advisable to take up loans unless it is for an emergency. One example of such periods is when politics is heating up prior to elections. Since interest rates are determined by central banks in respective countries, they are more likely to increase the rates during such times. When political temperatures are high, an increase is an attempt to raise more funds. Why? This is to shield the economy from political uncertainties. -Second is the type of financial institutions one intends to borrow from. Much as these institutions are govern by a regulatory body, they each have different lending requirements. Savings and credit cooperatives for example will require you to save a certain amount of money with them before they can give you credit. Other financial institutions only give secured loans which must be accompanied by collateral. Licensed moneylenders for example ask for collateral in form of goods worth the loan amount. Many people go to them because of the fast approval time and less stringent checks. -The other important thing to think about is the repayment period for the loan. Most lending institutions give options so that the borrower can select what fits them. They however try and convince their clients to spread the loan for the longest period, citing lower monthly repayments. While this may sound lucrative, you will end up paying more than someone who took the same amount and paid higher installments for a shorter period of time. -Last but not least is reading, understanding and comparing terms and conditions of different lending institutions. In most cases they appear the same but there is always that small difference that can easily be ignored. And it makes a whole lot of difference. In fact, very few people take their time to go through the whole blue print and seek explanations on areas where they do not understand. These few individuals that do, can attest that this effort in some cases has saved them loads of money. -If you need a loan, approach a bank or a licensed moneylender.

The group is arguing that IG’s claims are unfounded and unfair and that the spread betting firm is guilty of systemic failures in its treatment of customers. -In particular, it contends that IG is in breach of its contractual obligations including the obligation to provide best execution and in its regulatory requirements under various Principles for Business and the specific rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Conducts of Business Sourcebook. -Hundreds of IG customers racked up losses of £18.4 million after the Swiss National Bank unexpectedly removed its three-year EURCHF floor on 15 January, which caused severe distress in the market and resulted in some retail brokers going under. The Swiss franc surged by as much as 40% versus the euro within minutes of the central bank announcement. -IG, which also suffered losses, has recouped some of the minimal sums outstanding from customers, but is in dispute with a group who account for a considerable share of the outstanding debts. -Natalia Chumak, a partner at specialist litigation City firm Signature Litigation, who is representing the group in their complaint against IG to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), says that in justifying the claims against the group, IG heavily relies on its terms and conditions (T&Cs). -“However, analysis of IG’s T&Cs, as well as the company’s website and their behaviour on 15 January 2015, shows these claims to be groundless and unfair,” she claims. -Speaking to Profit & Loss, Chumak argues IG must have been aware that the events that followed the SNB’s decision to remove the floor was an “eventual possibility”. -She points to IG’s decision in 2011, immediately after the floor was introduced by the central bank, to remove its offering of guaranteed stop orders in relation to EURCHF trades, indicating that IG knew that the events that occurred on 15 January could be a possibility. -“However, IG, appears to have done nothing in advance to prevent or mitigate the risks for their clients, and worse still, continued to offer aggressively leveraged trades inducing more clients to open accounts, and further, increasing the clients’ exposure which IG could not manage,” she says. -Chumak adds that the T&Cs effectively allow IG to work customers’ positions however the company chooses, and claims that IG appears to have offloaded its own risks during the Swiss franc surge before starting to fill its customers’ orders. -She says IG does not inform customers how it handles their trades, and still has not disclosed its full execution policy – something that the group contends is in violation of FCA rules. -“It turns out that there is no limit to how much a customer can lose by trading with IG, but IG does not tell this to its customers clearly. IG can choose whether or not to take any risks, but will always take advantage of any upside,” Chumak says. -She adds, “My clients’ complaint is that IG has induced customers to open accounts with the company with misleading statements on their website and offers of low margins. IG withdrew or minimised its own risks long in advance of 15 January, without being transparent with its customers about the risks. -The group is presently pursuing a complaint with the FOS. Some customers have petitioned the FCA to investigate current practices in the sector. Chumak says the group of customers she is representing wants money that has been wiped off their accounts to be reinstated. They also want IG to drop its claim for the payment of significant negative balances. -Saturday morning, we hoped in a rented white Beetle for Hallstatt from Munich. Still half asleep, two and a half hours later, we arrived in the quiet small Austrian town. Lots of tourists were strolling along the steep paths. Most of the shops were closed, only few cafés and restaurants were welcoming passerby. -Along the Hallstätter lake, the lovely traditional houses are agglomerated in random patterns on an abrupt slope. Like in most European villages, a church overlooks the town. The lovely sunny weather lead us on a stroll between the tight alleys and steep stairs. -Of course, the main attraction of the Hallstatt is its gorgeous lake and surrounding mountains. The winter scenery was very impressive to see. Every point of view was breathtaking. I can’t imagine how fall and summer must be in this charming Austrian town. -Every time I have the opportunity to visit Paris, I feel like it is like a living dream. Its magic emanates from the historic buildings, cobble streets, chic restaurants and sumptuous monuments. A real treat for any history, art or architecture lovers. Ooohh and the food. I don’t need to say more. -The first day I went to Centre Pompidou for the Tadao Ando exhibition and the general collections of modern art. The center is already a great piece of work showing its technical systems and structure as part of its architecture design. Inside, the forum connects the accesses to galleries together. The showcased artworks include works from Picasso, Braque, Cézanne, Matisse, and so on. -A spontaneous night stroll lead us to the beautifully decorated Hôtel de ville and Cathédrale Notre-Dame. Although the nights were cold and windy, a lot of people were taking advantage of the Christmas lights and ambiance. -The holidays season is probably the peak time for the metropolis. Walking in the streets is a real delight to the eyes with all the festive lights hanging above your heads. The Champs-Élysées was blushing in red from the start to the end. -The next morning, we walked to my favorite spot which is la Seine, the famous river flowing through the city. The thing I noticed and love about these pictures of the river is the perfect harmony between all the elements, the historical buildings, the rocks, the old bridges. They seem to tell the same kind of story of a place we read so much about in books and movies. -On Sunday evening, we drove to Versailles with our bags filled with sandwiches and snacks. Unfortunately, the waiting line was unbelievably long so we decided to stroll around the gardens instead. -Near the West coast of France, Nantes is a charming city that preserved its historic culture through its architecture and its local gastronomy. With the holidays, the downtown area is lit up with Christmas markets and lights above almost every street. From Munich, my 2-hours flight brought me directly to the modest airport of Nantes at night. The first days were meant to just stay home and recharge. -The city lays in the region of Loire-Atlantique which harbours a lot of castles from as far as the Renaissance period. The area is also famous for its crêpes bretonnes, seafood, pastries like le nantais, and so on. Obviously, I took the opportunity to gain some weight and empty the wallet. -Spending Christmas here was quite lovely for the change of scenery and for the French cuisine.

Hard tick females have one blood meal and can produce 10,000 eggs then die. Soft tick females will feed and then lay 20-50 ticks, feed again lay another batch and repeat. In the Northeast the most common hard ticks are the Brown Dog Tick, American Dog Tick and the Deer Tick. -Ticks are very good at hitchhiking. They can sense your vibration, shadow and CO2 as you approach. Ticks wait in areas ideal for a blood meal in a specific position called questing. They have hooks on their legs that are held up and out to hitch onto a passing meal. -The three main ticks in the Northeast all have 8 legs as adults, require 2 years to mature from egg to adult and differ in size for the most part. You can easily identify a tick embedded in your skin as it becomes engorged with blood. They all have 4 life stages egg, larva, nymph and adult. Once the egg hatches the larva needs to seek a blood meal, most often mice or other small animals. The ticks in the Northeast will molt after the first blood meal and winter as nymph under leaves or other natural debris protected from winters cold weather. In the spring the nymphs emerge and look for another blood meal. With the meal complete they will molt into adults and look for another blood meal and start the reproduction process. -Ticks can transmit various tick borne human diseases including Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. Another less common threat is tick paralysis. A condition that develops during feeding and can result in death but the symptoms disappear rapidly when the tick is removed. When you work outside in a brush or leaf area you run the risk of a tick hitchhiking on your clothes. This is why you should always, if possible wear long sleeves and pants preferable light in color. Tape the pant cuffs tight to your legs to stop ticks from climbing up onto your skin. When you complete the outdoor activities you should remove all clothing and shower. When drying off perform a tick check on all parts of your body. At this stage you are looking for just the tick. In 24 hours stay alert for engorged females. -The first step in control is inspection and education. Our pest management professional will inspect your yard and identify the problem areas, areas that should have brush or shrubbery cut back and other non-pesticide items that naturally keep ticks away from your home. Then we treat the “hot” areas which are most likely to have a population of ticks. Treatments and inspections are repeated 2 additional applications for traditional treatments and every 3 weeks for organic treatments. -Choose cheap, low cost residential conveyancing quotes for moving house in Magherafelt and conveyancing solicitors in Magherafelt for your property move.

I checked on-line and found that Brown University had some very interesting courses in the evenings. I was so afraid that I would fail or need to drop out because of my mental illness that I almost did not scratch that itch that I had to go back. -Last fall I chose two courses in my field of interest. Both were in the Neuroscience Department. The first course was entitled "Learning and Memory." The course covered the neurological pathways that we use from infancy through adulthood in order to remember what we have learned and how to access it. The best part for me was doing a dissection of the human brain! -The second course that I took was entitled "Mental Illness and the Brain." The course covered all the mental illnesses that people live with, where in the brain the site of the disease is located, what medications are used and the method of operation of these medications. This was by far one of the most fascinating courses I have ever taken. Since I am bipolar, that part of the course was very informative, but so were all the other aspects of studying the etiology of other mental illnesses and the hope for new medications. -Having been successful in the fall of last year, I decided to take two more courses this spring. The first course I chose is entitled "Infant and Child Mental Health." This is a course that is totally foreign to me, but a subject I have always wanted to learn. So far things are going well. -The second course I chose was another interest of mine, and was entitled "Social Media and Online Technologies." When I realized that Brown was on Twitter, I was amazed and intrigued especially since we had just set up a Facebook page for Hillsgrove House and we hope to be on the World Wide Web soon. I am learning how integral these types of communication have become to socialization amongst people, and particularly how it is benefiting the mentally ill. People can now communicate any time of the day, especially if they just need a friend to converse with late at night. I look forward to exploring the theories of this course as it progresses. -I cannot express how much taking these courses has done for my self-esteem. I feel like I come alive when I'm in class. What a sense of accomplishment I feel when I can think through my medications and my mental illness. The most important thing is that if I had to drop out, or if I failed a course, that I am not a failure. Rock on! -The Socialist Party of Ireland was formed in 1949 and was affiliated to the Socialist Party of Great Britain. The name was in use until 1959, when the World Socialist Party was established, although the party does not appear to have been active throughout that period. -The Socialist Party of Ireland was initially established by the Belfast Socialist Group, which had been set up that year, in collaboration with some Dublin socialists. -Especially, during the last 10 years a lot of projects have been carried out at Groyne 42.

San Francisco Bay is the largest estuary on the west coasts of North and South America! Estuaries are highly productive ecosystems playing critical roles as fish nurseries and providing habitat for many bird species. -It was an invigorating day full of variety and outdoor exploration for everyone onboard the inaugural voyage of National Geographic Venture! Angel Island served as a backdrop to our water activities; buildings from the mid-1800s to mid-1900s reminding us of the island’s history with its military garrisons, old hospitals, guard houses, and quarantine and immigration stations. Later, we put our legs to work and hiked all over Angel Island, taking in 360-degree views of San Francisco Bay: the Golden Gate Bridge, city skyline, Alcatraz, Treasure Island, Marin Headlands, and so much more. Red-tailed hawks soared overhead and vultures rode thermals over the coastline. Black-tailed deer were completely at peace with our presence as we shared their trails amongst eucalyptus and oak. Angel Island is truly a jewel in the backyard of San Francisco with its incredible views, abundant wildlife, and rich history. -Clemson, S.C.—The Clemson women’s golf team returns to the course for the second straight week at the sixth annual Allstate Sugar Bowl Invitational at English Turn in New Orleans, La.

Hoang finished strong with scores of 72-73 in the last two rounds, while Stephenson had a 71 in the first round and was tied for sixth place. Both ladies finished 34th for the 54 holes with scores of 226. -OKLAHOMA CITY - Kevin Durant scored 25 points, James Harden added a spark with 23 points off the bench while returning from an injury and the Oklahoma City Thunder ended a string of futility against the Houston Rockets with a 122-104 victory. -The Thunder got out to a sizzling start and opened a 23-point lead within the first 14 minutes. Their lead was never in jeopardy against a Houston team desperately needing a late charge to make the playoffs. -Instead, Oklahoma City used its second-best shooting performance of the season to take a big step toward solidifying its spot in the postseason. -Luis Scola scored 25 and Trevor Ariza added 20 points for Houston, which fell seven games behind Oklahoma City and 51/2 behind eighth-place Portland in the Western Conference. -BOSTON - Paul Pierce scored 27 points, Kevin Garnett had 20 and the Boston Celtics clinched a playoff berth with a win over the Denver Nuggets. -The Celtics dominated inside and the Nuggets, one day after losing to the Knicks in New York, slipped a half-game behind the Dallas Mavericks and into a third-place tie with Utah in the Western Conference with their third consecutive loss. -Boston led by 21 points twice in the third quarter before Denver cut the lead to 87-80 going into the fourth. But the Celtics stayed ahead by seven to 16 the rest of the way for their fifth win in six games.

They can set a record for futility Friday at Charlotte. -It was Granger's third straight game with at least 30 points. Josh McRoberts had 14 points and a career-high 12 rebounds for the Pacers, who have won four in a row overall and six straight at home. -CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Stephen Jackson shook off a sore hand and busted out of his shooting slump with 37 points, leading the Charlotte Bobcats past Minnesota to send the reeling Timberwolves to their 14th straight loss. -Jackson, who a night earlier revealed he had been plagued by a bruised ligament near his left index finger, hit 15-of-24 shots after shooting 37 percent in the previous 10 games.

David West added 16 points. -Apparently when you have a blog, one of the obligatory posts at the end of each year is some sort of year in review. I’m going to do a couple things. First, I’m going to highlight the top 10 posts from the past year. By that, I mean the most clicked-on posts according to the stat counter. I have no idea if objectively they are the “top” posts. -This is an important topic, to be sure, but Top 10? Okay. -9. My ______ Isn’t Producing! What’s Wrong? -This is definitely one of the most common questions we get every year. People want fresh veggies as soon as possible, and it’s perturbing when they don’t appear right away! -8. What is the “Best” Tomato to Plant? -Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone reading this post got their question answered, since I essentially told them that they are asking the wrong question. First, determine what you value in a tomato plant, then pick the plant that fits! -7. What’s Eating the Spinach? -I know no one got a satisfactory answer from this post when they visited, because we never really determined what was eating our spinach either. -A closeup picture of the tomato trellis we used in the Family of 4 Garden. I think this post is hanging on the coat-tails of one of the top 5 posts. -5. My Tomato is Rotting! -Ah, Blossom End Rot, the disease that is not a disease. Such a ghastly looking tomato it causes too! -Okay, I’ll guarantee you that people ended up on this post because they were searching for “fuzzy white caterpillar.” I hope they weren’t looking for anything other than pictures of cute, fuzzy white caterpillars. FYI, they are probably some type of tussock moth, but I’m not a bug girl, so don’t quote me on that. -The Family of 4 Garden and the plan for the garden that launched this whole blog project! -What’s not to love about big, orange, gooey, gloppy balls of stuff that show up on cedar trees in the rainy weather of spring? Well, a lot, actually. They don’t hurt the cedar trees, but I’m not a fan of what they do to apples! -The most popular post for the year: a look at the 3 different methods of training and trellising tomatoes that we used in the Demonstration Garden this summer! -There you have it! I’ll be back after the New Year to start sharing our plans for the 2010 Demonstration Garden. -Not much going on in the garden this week, and there probably won’t be for a few weeks. You’ll have to excuse me if all I get around to for the next few weeks is a couple posts here and there. Next Friday is Christmas! Can you believe it? Things will start happening again by the end of January, when we start planning the garden for next year! -This week I’m reviewing the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange Catalog. SESE is a lot like Seed Savers Exchange, except, well…they’re Southern! They are based in Virginia, and a lot of their seed growers also reside in the south. The reason this is important, is their seeds are grown and saved in hot, humid regions, so they are likely well-adapted to dealing with our hot climate. It might be interesting to try the same varieties from both Seed Savers and Southern Exposure just to see if there are any differences in how they perform for us here in Kansas. -SESE has a number of “new” items this year, but I’m mostly going to highlight some varieties that they have, but might be hard to find elsewhere. -Purple Podded Yard Long Bean – This pole bean is a type of asparagus bean, or Chinese yard long bean. This particular bean is a very vigorous grower and has gorgeous dark purple beans that retain the purple color when stir-fried. You need a big trellis! -Pole Lima Beans – SESE has a nice selection of Pole Lima Beans that are hard to find otherwise. Black Knight Butterbean is a new variety that sounds intriguing. Violet’s Multi-Colored Butterbean is hilarious to grow, because every pod yields different colored beans. I’ve always thought it would be fun to try to isolate and breed individual varieties out of this variety. -Tashkent French Marigold – Okay, this seems like a really interesting French Marigold variety, but I have to be honest that it is mostly intriguing to me because it was found in Uzbekistan, and I find Uzbekistan an intriguing country. It is also supposedly sweet smelling, rather than astringent like most marigolds. -Asian Tempest Garlic – What’s not to love with a name like Asian Tempest? This is a very hot garlic raw, but mellow after roasting. Of course, we are past the planting window for garlic now, but keep it in mind for next year! -Grey Griselle Shallot – SESE is one of the only sources I’ve found in the U.S. for French Grey Shallots. Prized for French cooking, some consider these shallots the only “true” shallot. As with the garlic, we are past the planting time for this year. -Have a great weekend! Get all that Christmas shopping done! -I finally received my 2010 Johnny’s catalog this week. Not that I’m impatient or anything, but they have had their new 2010 items up on their brand new, sparkly website for a couple weeks now. I had to work really hard to wait to do this review until I actually had a catalog. So, without further ado, here are 5 interesting items from their catalog this year. -‘Albion’ Strawberry – This is a day-neutral (potential to fruit from spring to frost, but often doesn’t in the middle of the hot summer here), that has a great flavor. I tried these out in Oregon and found them quite delicious. They also have good disease resistance, not to mention that perfect strawberry shape. -‘Tempo’ Artichoke – A purple globe artichoke that produces in only 100 days, so it can be grown as an annual. I’m curious to see how well it tolerates our heat. -‘Purple Pak’ & ‘Deep Purple’ Carrots – This whole purple carrot business is making me a little dizzy. Last year they had ‘Purple Rain’ which is nowhere to be seen this year, and ‘Deep Purple’ was on the website, but had a seed failure. Now there is ‘Purple Pak’ and ‘Deep Purple’ is apparently in stock. Still, I have a fondness for purple carrots, so I doubt I’ll be able to resist. -Ice Plant – Buried in the Micro Mix Varieties is this gem. Ice plants are frequently grown as ornamentals, but their succulent leaves are also edible. They have juicy leaves that are flavored with a hint of saltiness and lemon. -‘Red Cardinal’ Spinach – This is a replacement for the ‘Bordeaux’ Spinach that we had out in the garden this year. It has more oval leaves than ‘Bordeaux’ and a more upright habit. It also has red stems and veins. -‘Sprite’ Honeydew – This isn’t exactly new, but it is new to Johnny’s. You might have seen the “Sprite” honeydew melons in grocery stores, but now you can grow them at home! These are little, 1 lb. melons with white flesh. -The wintery weather followed by cold temperatures today has frozen the garden pretty solid. -The spinach leaves are like ice cubes. They will probably thaw out in a couple days when it is warmer and do just fine. In fact, this picture was from yesterday morning, and even this afternoon, they are thawing out. -Likewise the Swiss Chard…while the bigger leaves are probably toast, the young central leaves will probably keep growing if it warms up again. -The Brussels Sprouts have reached the end of their lives…not because they can’t take the cold, but because I sawed them off this afternoon. -I sawed them off with a pruning saw. Rather interesting – the center of the stems was hollow. I don’t know if this was just the result of normal growth or if some insect had bored in. The plants are frozen solid, but they should thaw out just fine in the corner of my office. I’ll snap the sprouts off in a day or two. -Sean performed a magic/disco show at my 6 year old's birthday party. The kids had a wonderful time and his magic show kept their attention throughout. A number of parents commented that it was the best they had seen. -I would just like to thank you very much for your Magic and Mayhem show you put on at Lewis's 6th birthday party. Your show was excellent and well worth it. I thought you managed the 30+ kids extremely well and they all went home with big smiles on their faces, especially Lewis. You never stopped for the full 2 hours (and bit more) your manner and way with the kids was well received. I will definitely recommend you to anybody who asks. -Thanks again for a terrific show on Saturday. I have had lots of comments about how good you were, and I hope it generates more business for you. The kids had a whale of a time, and I think the grown-ups enjoyed themselves too! Thanks a lot. -Just a quick note to say thanks for the fantastic show you did for Chloe today. Chloe and everyone else really enjoyed it. Thanks again. -Sean is absolutely amazing. So funny, the kids love him! He made my boys birthday party amazing! I literally can't fault this company at all! The pair of them are flawless. They spoke to me about the party and all it will include, it ran so smoothly, effortlessly and my son and all his friends loved it! Even the adults were enjoying the show. Normally at parties the adults are bored waiting for the party to be over so they can get home but that certainly wasn't the case this time! I've definitely found an entertainer that I love in this company!! Definitely will be booking these again next year!!

I wouldn’t know what it was. Perhaps other older readers might know. -Elaine Richards,Salt AshSTEVEN Busch (Short Takes, 4/10) I agree with you when you say that, when daylight savings begins, there is some disruption to our daily lives. But the emphasisshould be on the word “some” (as it’s definitely not a great deal). I believe that daylight savings does actually serve a useful and practical purpose (many in fact), so yes, I would say that the adjustment period is necessary. Especially when considering that said adjustment period is all of a few days at most. -Adam Carter,Adamstown HeightsWHYare they wasting money on advertising about revitalising Newcastle instead of just getting on with the job? -Debra Forbes,WickhamI UNDERSTAND how you feel Mr Cooper-Johnston (Letters, 5/10), as residents of the Lambton area living close to the Hunter Stadium, Lambton pool and Lambton junior football fields we are constantly unable to park anywhere near home during summer and winter, and we have never been consulted by the NRL or Newcastle council to see if the traffic impacts on our everyday coming and going. We sort of just get on with it. -Grant Conway,LambtonANSWER to the poll of ‘will the Jets improve on eighth?’ is: Next question. -Michael Casey,MerewetherI WOULD like to thank the staff of Ward F3 at John Hunter Hospital for the wonderful care that was given to me.

Realtor, Judy Mitchell explains why this is and how not to fall into the Zillow trap. Using a house she sold in Fairfield, CT, Judy shows you how she was able to achieve a sale price of almost $20,000 over what Zillow said this house was worth. There is now more money in the pocket of the sellers because of an accurate market value analysis done on this house and by presenting this house properly to the buyers who were willing to pay top dollar for it. -Here is what the buyers saw when we listed and sold the house for $620,000. -The Zillow Zestimate was $19,000 less than the price at which we sold the house! Sice Zillow has 72% market share of buyers looking for new homes, we had our work cut out for us. We needed to prove to the buyers that house was worth more. How did we do it? -We always use professional photography. -We always provide accurate floor plans. -We present the house to the buyers in way that builds value for our sellers. -We use 4 color brochures and make open houses an experience that buyers will not forget. They may see 4 or 5 houses on a Sunday, but they won’t forget seeing an open house by the Judy Mitchell Group. -We negotiate skillfully on behalf of our clients. -What are the Indian Railway jobs available for B-tech Student(CSE)? -Please tell me the details about the job opportunity in Indian railway for B-tech student in Computer Science branch.

There are Christmas cards to send, presents to make for family and friends, decorations to hang, food to prepare and practices and performances for concerts and plays. -I find it helpful to use a Christmas planner I designed for our church’s Sunday school to keep track of all the events and all the things which must be done. -Sprite uses the planner now too; but she has very high expectations about what Christmas should be like. P’est Pour Parfait, the perfectionist poodle, always insists that everything must be perfect for Christmas and causes Sprite anxiety about every aspect of the season, especially about performing in the concerts and plays. -Now her concerns are more often for others who are not celebrating and do not receive any gifts and this can cause her to be upset as she opens her own presents. -But the main difficulties associated with the holiday season are in the areas of sensory overload. All the Dabrowski Dogs become very involved with all the holiday activities. This is both a blessing and a problem. It is always easier to manage if the holidays are spent at home but can be harder if visiting. -There is always so much noise and excitement. Often sugar and artificial colouring laden foods are being served. -These can all affect moods and behaviour and it is often are not understood by other people. The Black Dogs try to creep in and ruin the season for her. -Sprite does love Christmas at a deep spiritual level. Every sight, sound and scent is magnified for her and she finds significance even in shades of colour. -She needs time and space to escape from the hurly-burly to be quiet and just enjoy Christmas in her own way. -This is a post in the Gifted Homeschoolers Forum November 2013 Blog Hop Surviving and thriving at the holidays with a gifted or 2E kid. -Applications are invited for a Walk in interview for the following post(s) in the project entitled, "Lateral Flow Immunoassay based Point-of-Care Oral Cancer Diagnostic kit (OCDk)" at the department of Centre for Nanotechnology, IIT Guwahati. -Candidates have to appear in the Walk in Interview along with an application/CV on plain paper giving details of all educational qualifications, experience, contact address, phone no., E - mail etc. and submit photocopies of relevant documents at the time of interview on 24 Apr 2019 (Wednesday) at 11:00 AM.

A common cause of frustration and alienation for consumers is the lack of understanding by therapists, family members and caregivers, who find it difficult to relate to the consumers’ experiences. The purpose of this study is to examine and evaluate whether students’ participation in a simulated auditory hallucination will increase their understanding and knowledge about psychosis and auditory hallucinations. The design method consisted of a lecture on psychosis and schizophrenia disorders, followed by a simulation of auditory hallucinations using iPods. Students’ knowledge and perceptions of psychosis and hallucinations was assessed using quasi-experimental pre-post matched-design questionnaires. The questionnaire was divided into two parts, the first comprised closed questions to assess students’ knowledge, and the second part consisted of open-ended questions to collect information about students’ perceptions of auditory hallucinations. The results confirmed that students’ knowledge of psychosis and hallucination increased following the teaching session and simulation is a useful tool to prepare students for clinical placements in mental health practice. -Only within the last 16 months, the world has seen the emergence of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the Paris agreement which has just recently come into force, and the so called New Urban Agenda (NUA). All three of them represent bold and (more or less) legally binding agreements by the Member States of the United Nations. The New Urban Agenda should be the most concrete and practical one since it addresses the smaller scale of government, i.e. cities – the place where we will win or lose our struggle for a more just, equitable and indeed sustainable world. -November 8, 2016 Comments Off on The New Urban Agenda: More Power to Cities? Yes, but how? -On September 22 2013, 50.9% of the Hamburg citizens voted in a referendum for the full remunicipalisation of the energy distribution grids in the city. The referendum was initiated by the citizen’s initiative ‘Our Hamburg – Our Grid’ (OHOG) and constituted the climax of an intense political controversy that lasted for more than three years. Through this vote Hamburg has received international attention and became a flagship example for remarkable civil engagement. In the international best-seller “This Changes Everything” (2014), Naomi Klein sees the driving motive in the people’s ‘desire for local power’. Indeed it is true that under the constitution of the City of Hamburg, a successful referendum has a binding effect, which left the City government no other option than to announce the implementation of the referendum decision and to start the remunicipalisation process immediately after the vote. Now, three years after the referendum, it is time to evaluate what has been achieved so far. A series of interviews with key actors that were and, for the most part, still are involved in the remunicipalisation process shed some light on the remunicipalisation process and recent developments. -It is almost time. One of the most important international summits is on our doorstep. Next week the UN General Assembly will be gathering in Quito, Ecuador to (hopefully) agree and sign the so called New Urban Agenda, the international urban “constitution” supposed to be guiding sustainable urban development in the next 20 years. Almost 40,000 participants from all around the world have registered. After the successful adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Paris agreement, expectations on the next UN cities summit are high. The question however is: will it deliver? Will delegates agree on a meaningful outcome that ultimately provides guidance for national and local governments? Will it keep up to the promise to be the “SDG implementation summit”? In fact, the goals and principles of the SDGs and the Paris agreement will be confronted with a reality check – since first and foremost much of their substance will have to be implemented by the cities of this world. -October 13, 2016 Comments Off on Habitat III. The upcoming UN cities summit is as important as the Paris Climate Conference – but will it deliver? -The proposed project would construct an approx. 850 room hotel tower, an approx. 565 bed lower cost visitor serving hotel, retail development along the promenade, approx. 2.1 acres of public access plaza space, approx. 213 onsite parking spaces, a connecting bridge from the hotel public access plaza to the San Diego Convention Center, and a marina expansion. In addition, the proposed project would include the potential use of approx. 110 offsite parking spaces in the Convention Center garage and maintain the existing public in-bay water transportation system, including a water ferry service. -ABOVE: A vintage cabriolet on a corniche road in Luxembourg. INSET BELOW: Minicars in Montmarte, Parisian parking. -Car travel in Europe can be a joy or a nightmare, depending on where and when you drive. During August, when countless millions of Europeans pack up their family cars and drive to the beaches or mountains, traffic jams can rob even the most scenic European touring routes of their charm. And at any time of year, driving in a major city like London, Paris, or Rome can be nerve-wracking (or at least unpleasant) to the foreign tourist. -Spring and fall are the best times for a motoring vacation in Northern and Central Europe. In Southern Europe, winter can also be pleasant if you avoid the Christmas break. If your vacation is tied to the school calendar, try visiting in June, before the summer season reaches its peak. -Many tourists, especially those from North America, make the mistake of planning car itineraries built around Europe's largest cities. They end up having to cope with nerve-wracking traffic, scarce parking, and unfamiliar regulations--all while trying to catch a glimpse of the sights through a mass of cars, motorscooters, bikes, and tour buses. -Take the train between major cities. Rent cars for local or regional excursions, or for legs of your trip (e.g., Paris to the Riviera) where you want to stop and enjoy sights along the way. -Visit a country like Denmark, Norway, or Sweden where even the largest cities are relatively car-friendly and you can leave town for driving excursions with a minimum of hassle. -ABOVE: The Peugeot Traveller van on a European highway. Residents of countries outside the U.S. can save money with short-term tourist leases from Peugeot. -Comparison shop. Check prices at European brokers that specialize in leisure rentals and short-term leasing programs. Check each company's age restrictions if you're under 25 or over 65, and see "Lease for longer trips" below. -Plan carefully. Rent a car for only as long as you'll need it, to avoid early-return penalties. If you're on a budget, avoid drop-off charges by planning a circular itinerary. -Book ahead. If you live outside Europe, you're likely to get a better deal by making arrangements from abroad. -Lease for longer trips. A short-term car lease can save money on rentals of 21 days or more. Such "buy back" or "purchase-repurchase" leases are especially useful for students and senior citizens, since age restrictions are minimal. -Buy a pass. A Rail 'n Drive Pass combines the speed and comfort of train travel with the convenience of a vehicle for local excursions. -Think small. Fuel is expensive in Europe, streets are narrow in many cities, and small cars are easier to park than large ones. Unless you need a large car or van, stick with a small to midsize car. -Important note: If you're picking up a car outside the European Union, you may encounter bureaucratic hassles if you later decide to drop the car off in an EU country. To avoid potential problems, ask for a car that's regisftered in the EU if you plan to drive there. -Prepare at home. European regulations, driving customs, and road signs can be confusing to foreigners, so use the information resources below to learn the basics ahead of time. -Be alert. If you're from North America, forget about turning on the cruise control and floating along in the left lane while listening to Santana and slurping coffee from your MegaMug. You could have a panic attack when a BMW comes tearing up behind you, left flasher blinking, at 250 km/h (156 mph) or faster. And if you've never had to enter or exit a traffic circle (a.k.a. rotary or roundabout) in heavy traffic, get ready for a new experience--especially if local laws give priority to traffic coming from the right. -Carry an International Driving Permit. This passport-like document (sometimes called an International Driver's License) is a translation of your home license. It's required in some countries and optional in others, but it's well worth having to avoid problems if you're stopped by the police or want to rent a car in a foreign country.

It is very beautiful and famous. This is blessed with natural beauty and the credit to its beauty goes to the beautiful combination of mountains and sea on the peninsula. All things that are in Pelion look so beautiful. The mountains are filled with lots of greenery with numerous high trees. The beaches are also amazing with crystal clear blue waters. -There is a myth popular about this peninsula. It is that this peninsula was once the home of the famous creatures called as centaurs. These are some mythical creatures that were believed to have body half of human being and half of a horse. The most famous name among the centaurs is of chilon. He was the teacher of the famous achilies who was a great hero of Greece as well as Jason and Heracles. The villages of Pelion are really very beautiful as well as traditional. These are built with grey stones that are found in plenty here. The bridges are also built with grey stone and look very nice. There are many churches in Pelion. Some are of Byzantine time and some of them are post Byzantine times. These have their own contribution in the beauty of this place. The best time for holidays in Pelion can be any time in the whole year. This place is full of activities both in summer as well as winters. If you visit here in summer season then you will have a lot of fun in the beautiful beaches of Pelion surrounded by the wonderful green mountains. And if you come here in winter season then also you will experience a lot of fun viewing the whole peninsula covered in white. You will definitely enjoy the snowy slopes. You can simply enjoy in the pistes that are so well organized in the ski centre in chania. The villages of Pelion are very beautiful and traditional. The architecture of the houses is very beautiful.

With winter weather quickly approaching, you want to ensure that your shingles and gutters are ready for whatever Mother Nature will throw our way in the next few months. It can be easy to forget about scheduling an annual roof inspection, especially when you have not yet noticed an interior leak or can’t easily spot exterior damage. When was the last time you took a peek in your attic to check for moisture? Don’t wait until you spot damage to schedule your inspection. Here are a few reasons why it’s important to not only have your rooftop and gutter system inspected on a routine basis, but to also hire a professional to inspect your home. -Throughout the year in the Midwest, our rooftops see a range of weather conditions. Between the heavy rains, high winds, hail, ice and snow, your rooftop needs to be in tip top shape in order to properly protect the structural integrity of your home. High winds and hail can cause shingles to become loose, curled or removed completely leaving your roof vulnerable to moisture. Ice dams and snow can cause a lot of extra weight to hang from your shingles and gutters if moisture cannot find a proper way to drain away from the roof. By ensuring that your shingles and gutters are in good shape every year, especially after a strong summer storm has passed through your neighborhood, you can avoid any major repairs down the road. Even if you notice that you are only missing one shingle here and there, those types of issues can quickly become a larger problem that comes with an expensive price tag. -Even though getting up on your roof may seem like an easy task, it’s best to leave this household chore to a professional. Not only is it unsafe to walk on your roof, but it becomes especially dangerous if you do not have the proper equipment or know how to safely maneuver once you are up there. Our team at Exterior Remodel and Design is here to help inspect your rooftop in a timely and safe manner. Our team knows exactly what to look for inside and outside of your home when determining if your roof is in need of a little TLC. As roofing experts, we are trained to spot even the smallest discrepancy that could easily go unnoticed and cause interior damage down the road. We will not only inspect your rooftop, but we will also provide an accurate assessment of our observations. -Even though scheduling a roof inspection when you do not notice any damage may seem like a waste of time and money, but the price is drastically cheaper than replacing an entire roof once a problem has been left unaddressed for a period of time. An annual roof inspection is an investment for your home and can extend the overall lifespan of your shingles and gutters. -If you would like to schedule a roof inspection, give our team a call today at (402) 861-0000. You can trust Exterior Remodel & Design for the highest quality installation, repair and inspection. Contact our team today! -On May 19th, 2017, the 7th International Art Festival of Soong Ching Ling School was held at the Shanghai Grand Theatre. More than 670 students from 20 countries and areas joined this multicultural performance. -During the Art Festival, the students performed in a variety of traditions. Folk music, Kun Opera, Suzhou Ping Tan, Yueju Opera and Chinese folk dance showed traditional Chinese culture while Hawaii Haka and street dance displayed rich world culture. By being rooted in Chinese traditional culture, students are more able to function authentically as global citizens. -In addition to the inheritance of Chinese culture, one innovation in the Art Festival this year is that the students presented a stage play “An Unforgettable Birthday Party”. Grade 1 to 5 students from 15 classes performed in this 52-minute play. They learned about love, giving and receiving through their performance. -Confucius said that to love others, one should start by loving his or her family. Children who grow up with love will be kind to the world and appreciate what their predecessors contributed. They will devote themselves to creating a better future with generosity and integrity, which is also the theme of the SCLS Art Festival, “Benevolence · Everlasting ”. -The importance of the Art Festival is that all students participate and that all students are respected. -When we appreciate every student’s hard work and respect their differences, their potential is inspired which leads to the miracle. -In this lovely season of early summer when every living thing is full of energy, the students of SCLS embrace their vivid lives and happiness.

Hands Up will never die!!! -This track was tagged with the following keywords: Hands Up, Hands Up, Hands Up. -A view from White Point Bluff Park of the tide pools and beach below in San Pedro, CA. -Happy Monday, RMT’ers! I thought I’d start out the week with some pretty pictures for all of you to look at as you return to the weekly grind of whatever it is you do, along with tell you about a nice little local find and afternoon we had a few days ago. -Heading over the Vincent Thomas Bridge to San Pedro, CA, with Rancho Palos Verdes jutting up in the background. -Busy Bee Market on 24th Street in San Pedro serves up a killer meatball sandwich and some of the biggest, freshest sandwiches anywhere in Los Angeles. This is just half of the turkey sandwich T ordered - and he ate about two-thirds of this! -Our view from lunch - guess it could be sunnier, but honestly, I can't complain. After all, it's February! -Friday was C’s day off, so we got to spend the afternoon together as a family. And what better way to do that than to grab some sandwiches, hit a playground, and then head down to the beach. We hadn’t been over to San Pedro in a while, and thanks to my friend Richie, I’d just learned about some really fun and easy-access tide pools that we could explore. Well, we already knew of a great sandwich shop and playground over there we’d been wanting to get back to… add in a few tide pools and that sounded like a lovely day to me anyway! -Hermit crabs take shelter at the White Point Tide Pools in San Pedro, CA. -More of the dilapidated foundation of the former Royal Palms Hotel that used to grace this area of White Point in San Pedro, CA. Now it provides safe haven for a variety of sea creatures as a cluster of tide pools. -Hermit crabs lining up for their photo opp at White Point Tide Pools in San Pedro, CA. -After we finished our sandwiches and T got some energy out at the playground in White Point’s Bluff Park, we headed on down to the tide pools. White Point Park’s Tide Pools in San Pedro are pretty easy to find (you can find detailed directions here). You can either park up top for free on weekdays near the playground and walk down the paved road to the beach below (fair warning, though a short, straight walk, it is a fairly steep grade), or you can pony up $5 down below and park right next to the tide pools and beach (fair warning, this is uber-convenient and just a dozen or so steps to the tide pools). -C and T head out in search of sea life at White Point Tide Pools in San Pedro, CA. C said they saw clusters of anemones and urchins in the pools the farther out they ventured. -White Point Tide Pools in San Pedro, CA. -Once out on White Point, you can head out as far from or as close to the pebbled shoreline as you like. I preferred to stay on the concrete foundation of the former Royal Palms Hotel, which was a spa resort with hot sulfur pools predating the 1920s. The hotel fell victim to storms, pounding surf, and an earthquake in 1933, and now all that remains are majestic palms, garden terraces, and remnants of its concrete foundation scattered over the White Point Park area. -Got Rocks? A close-up of the "beach" down at White Point near the tide pools in San Pedro, CA. -As C digs for some small rocks, T climbs some of the larger ones down at White Point Park and Tide Pools in San Pedro, CA. -Just a small handful of the colorful rocks of the dozens the boys brought home from White Point Park and Tide Pools. -T climbing the boulders out at White Point Park and Tide Pools with the bluffs of Rancho Palos Verdes in the background. -Along with the brimming sea life at White Point (mostly hermit crabs on this day out), there’s also quite the collection of stones and rocks. That gave the boys plenty to do: C got to dig for rocks, and T got to climb them. -A mussel in its shell hanging out with a gang of hermit crabs at White Point Tide Pools in San Pedro, CA. -I need to borrow Grandma S's bird identification cards to find out what kind of sea-bird this is... we could not tell if s/he was nesting or injured or just taking a break here at White Point Tide Pools (San Pedro, CA). -The view north along White Point Park in San Pedro, CA. -We’ll definitely return to White Point Park and its tide pools again soon. I’ll just have to be sure to check the tide charts next time so we can take in more of the park and more of the beauty that it offers. -Logical is an old DOS falling blocks puzzle game developed by Rainbow Arts in 1991 from an original idea by Thomas Scholl.

They then award stars on a scale from 0 to 5, with the highest number going to those funds with the lowest volatility - and therefore risk - in relation to their overall performance. Five stars is the top award. -Mortgage backed securities are bonds in which collateral is provided by a mortgage or portfolio of mortgages, usually insured to cover any defaults. -Modified duration is a measure of the average life of a bond, weighting each repayment by the time until it will be made and reflecting the fact that money flows in the near future are more valuable than the same money flows at a later date. Modified duration indicates how changes in interest rates will affect the price of a bond (or bond portfolio). The longer the duration of a bond, the greater the extent to which its price is affected by interest rate changes. As such modified duration is used as a measure of risk for bond portfolios. -Companies that have a net worth of less than US$100m market capital. -This is the value of a portfolio of investments held by an investment trust. It is divided by the number of shares in issues to produce the NAV per share. -Investment trust shares are bought at the 'offer' price, sold at the 'bid' and for convenience, a 'mid' market price (mid way between the offer and the bid price) is often used for indicative or simple valuations. These processes are determined by the market forces and in no way are influenced by JPMorgan Flemings. -An agreement to buy or sell at a specific price at a specific date in the future. There are basically two kinds of option: a call option gives its buyer the right to buy a specified number of shares at a particular price before a specified date. The opposite of a call option is a put option, which gives the buyer the right to sell a specific number of shares at a particular price within a specified time period. In practice, call and put options are rarely exercised; instead, investors buy and sell options before their expiration, trading on the rise and fall of premium prices. -Calculated by dividing the market price of a company's ordinary shares by its earnings per share figure. -Most funds are grouped into specific sectors as defined by datas vendors like Morningstar, with each sector being divided into four quarters or quartiles. The midway point is known as the median; all funds want to see their performance stay above the median but the real target is to be consistently in the top quartile (i.e. the top 25% of all funds in that particular sector). To use a soccer analogy, The top quartile is like being in the premiership and is the place to be. -Mephisto's sandals cover the full spectrum of casual to dressy. Walk all day in Mephisto sandals.

Her parents are leaders of the Mennonite church so the worldly Rhoda's return to her Mennonite roots is a distinctly different kind of memoir. -This story evokes themes from Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" as well as a humorous response to everything reminiscent of David Sedaris and Nora Ephron. What's uniquely different is the Mennonite angle. Few of us have insight into the beliefs and everyday life of this fascinating religious group. -I don't like to bash a book that many people will, in fact, enjoy. After all, it has been on the bestseller's list for several months. However, the humor is much too caustic for me and sometimes crosses the line to mean spirited. The author is very impressed with her academic credentials and she does have an admirable vocabulary; but, I picked it up the first time that she was a smart cookie. Enough! -TWO games into the new year and WGC are in something of a crisis. -Their second defeat of 2017, this time at league leaders London Colney, has seen Adam Fisher's side concede 11 goals in two losses that effectively end any promotion aspirations from the Spartan South Midlands League Premier this season. They were beaten 5-2 at lowly St Margaretsbury the previous Monday. -They now trail long-time leaders and Saturday's victors by 19 points, even though they have three games in hand. WGC are also out of all the cup competitions they entered this season. -Certainly, manager Fisher is going to have to make a major overhaul of his defence. -He welcomed back Martin Standen into central defence for this one, switched newcomer Louis Lee to right-back and preferred Sean Brettell to Jay Welsh in the other full-back position. Lee Robins was restored upfront. -Despite the ultimately comprehensive London Colney victory, this was a very strange game, that split conveniently into three very differing thirds. -In the opening 30 minutes, hosts Colney dominated and overran WGC with a devastating three goal in 16 minute spell. -There was just five minutes gone when the leaders struck first. -Ex-WGC man Dave Parkinson, who was a thorn in his former team's side for the 75 minutes he was on the pitch, outpaced Brettell down the right. His over-hit cross to the far post was retrieved by home top scorer Jon Clements, who turned inside Lee and shot home under keeper Jack Metcalfe on his near post. -On 14 minutes the lead was doubled, a long ball found home skipper Greg Shaw, he chipped into the middle and Clements netted his second with a stooping header past Metcalfe. -Two minutes later, Parkinson scored a fine solo third. Again he outpaced Brettell, slipped inside Yasin Boodhoo's challenge and ended with a finely placed shot beyond Metcalfe into the far corner. -At his point it looked as though WGC might be half-a-dozen in arrears by the interval, as they could barely get across the half-way line. -It took 25 minutes for them to fashion their first opening, a shooting chance for Josh Bronti, well blocked by Colney defender Gregg Douglas. -And Bronti played a part in the Citizens pulling a fine goal back to reduce arrears on 29 minutes, getting away down the right to pull over a cross that central defender Boodhoo spectacularly volleyed in for his third goal in successive games, amid the defensive mayhem. -That sparked an immediate change in WGC's demeanour. Two minutes later, Standen was inches wide with a powerful header past an upright, rising to a Brettell free-kick. -And on 35 minutes, a second WGC goal, again created by a Bronti cross that produced a flashing header from Robins beyond home keeper Gowans, had the Citizens' majority in the 101 crowd on their feet. -WGC finished the half in total contrast to their performance in the opening 30 minutes, when on the stroke of the interval, a Boodhoo header clipped the post on its way out. -The Herns Lane side couldn't wait to get going in the second 45 minutes with the score now 3-2 and in the opening minutes, Manny Melford-Rowe brought a diving save from Gowans. -But seven minutes in, it looked as if the WGC revival might be at an end, when Metcalfe took down Colney winger Jack Woods after Clements had made a run across the face of the visitors' defence, unchecked. -The under-pressure keeper redeemed himself, pushing away Shaw's spot-kick in fine style, to keep his side in the game. -If the match had a turning point, it came just past the hour. On 62 minutes, Bronti was sent scurrying down the middle. He got in a fierce shot, Gowans parried but couldn't hold and Ashley Kersey rammed in the rebound. -But WGC players and supporters's joy was short-lived, referee Lungarella consulted an assistant with flag raised and the goal was chalked off for offside. -The Citizens looked immediately deflated. Manager Fisher replaced Melford-Rowe, who had a fitness test before the game with new signing Marcus Campbell and Robins with Taishan Griffith. -But the final third of the game proved as disastrous for the visitors as the opening half-hour had been. -Just before being substituted, Parkinson made a strong run down the right and when he crossed low, Clements swept home his hat-trick goal to effectively decide the points. -Three minutes later as WGC pushed up, Standen found himself stranded on half-way. He couldn't cut out a through ball and Colney's Spencer Mardel raced completely clear to poke the fifth past Metcalfe, with WGC defenders vainly appealing for offside. -Two minutes later, home substitute Jay Caines really rubbed it in with a lofted effort from way outside the area that cleared the beleagured Metcalfe to find the far corner and give the hosts a somewhat flattering six goal haul, considering the middle half-hour of the game. -WGC: Metcalfe, Lee, Boodhoo, Standen, Brettell, Payne, Long (Read 82), Robins (Griffith 67), Bronti, Kersey, Melford-Rowe (Campbell 60). -A new graduate degree in mental health counseling at The University of Texas at El Paso will help prepare licensed professional counselors in Texas. -The Master of Science (M.S.) in Mental Health Counseling was approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to begin in the fall 2017 semester. -The 60-hour program is intended for graduate students in the UTEP College of Education who plan to work as licensed professional counselors in community, agency and private practice settings that provide mental health services. -Approximately 40 students are expected to start the program this fall. -Out of Texas’ 254 counties, 207 are designated as Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas. -The M.S. in Mental Health Counseling will replace the Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling degree previously offered at the college. -With the new Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Sciences, UTEP is the only university in the region to offer that particular degree, which will prepare students in the College of Health Sciences for a career in the rehabilitation professions. -Thirty students are expected to enroll in the program in the fall 2017 semester. -The program consists of 120 semester credit hours. It will provide students with the course knowledge, attitudes, values and skills to prepare them to meet the challenges of graduate or professional education in four preparation tracks: physical therapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation counseling and speech-language pathology. -“The newly approved undergraduate degree in rehabilitation sciences will provide students the foundational information in the rehabilitation sciences and the clinical research skills that are necessary to be competitive for acceptance into graduate programs in occupational therapy, physical therapy, rehabilitation counseling and communication sciences and disorders across the United States,” said Anthony P. Salvatore, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences at UTEP. -Students who complete the program will meet the prerequisite coursework requirements to apply to graduate programs throughout the country, including the rehabilitation health sciences graduate programs at UTEP. -Employment opportunities for program graduates include support staff or medical and health services managers in medical settings, rehabilitation centers and skilled nursing facilities, and entry- and mid-level management positions in the healthcare industry. -The new programs bring the total number of master’s degrees offered at UTEP to 75. -Hainan (11) . 5 Metric Tons (Min. . 100mm high chrome cast steel grinding iron media ball, for ball milling mill ...

Why? -Combining advertising campaigns handled by pros along with play on the editorial side of reputable media outlets gets a business noticed by potential customers who won’t be concerned about the veracity of claims. -A sad week in the world of journalism. -Home/Residential, Technology/August 1 is World Wide Web Day! -Web browsing and many other online activities we take for granted today wouldn't have been possible without the invention of the World Wide Web. -It’s difficult to get one’s arms around just how impactful the arrival of “the internet” was for people all around the world. And it’s amazing to think how relatively young this technology is, considering its extraordinary role in changing how the world communicates. -We put “internet” in quotes because what many people think of as the internet actually refers to a few different things. Often, people confuse “Wi-Fi” with the internet, although Wi-Fi refers only to an internet connection being broadcast over radio waves. -Another term that gets mixed up with internet is “World Wide Web,” but really the World Wide Web (aka “The Web”) is a global information system that operates over the internet – much as email or Skype or Netflix do. What makes the Web so interesting and important is that it essentially made the internet a more user-friendly place where people could easily share ideas, photos, baby videos – you name it. -Since August 1 is World Wide Web Day, we thought we’d take note of some of the facts and history behind the Web. -The invention of the World Wide Web is credited to an English software engineer named Tim Berners-Lee. The son of parents who were among the very first computer scientists, Berners-Lee was working at CERN — a particle physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland in the 1980s —when he became frustrated by the fact that information on computers was hard to share. Plus, the information was often in different computer languages. There had to be a better way. -If all of that sound mostly like gobbledygook to you, that’s OK. The point is, it worked, and worked so well that by the time the mid 1990s rolled around, businesses started to get the point that they needed to be on the World Wide Web just to compete. Everyone else soon followed. -Adaptation to the Web was aided by the fact that CERN agreed to make the underlying code for the Web available without any royalty fees — essentially opening up the Web to anyone and everyone and fueling the rapid growth of the internet, the World Wide Web and just about anything else you can think of that requires an online connection. -Despite the seeming ubiquity of internet access, there are still billions of people around the world who don’t have a connection — reliable or otherwise. That need is what’s driven Viasat to advance the availability of internet over satellite. Where cables and terrestrial wireless can’t or won’t go, satellite will, and it’s increasingly clear that satellite will be the technology to take the Web to many of the places it couldn’t go before. -If you want to know more about the World Wide Web, check out the book “Weaving the Web” by Berners-Lee himself. -2 Joahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. -3 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. -4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt. -5 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah his God. -7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. -9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. -10 And at the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Jehovah, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem. -12 and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of Jehovah. -13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning unto Jehovah, the God of Israel. -14 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. -16 but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Jehovah arose against his people, till there was no remedy. -17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, old man or hoary-headed: he gave them all into his hand. -18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon. -21 to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths: [for] as long as it lay desolate it kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years. -23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up. -I write this from Ben Gurion airport, the Dan lounge to be exact, a perk left over from my pre-B’nai Abraham frequent flyer days. It’s late Thursday evening, boarding begins in an hour or so, and it’s nice to sit comfortably and relax. -I’ve been in Israel for almost two full weeks, perhaps my longest stay since student days thirty-five years ago. The visit has been energizing. Robin and I arrived with a wonderful group of thirty from TBA, all adults, all eager to see the land, in some cases for the first time, in others for the first time in a long while. It was a congenial, fun group, and delightfully prompt, even with a few early morning departures. -Some of what we did was different. For example, no zip lining down the Manara Cliffs this time…though I bet these folks would have been up to it! But there were other, more important differences as well. -I kept reminding my companions that Israel was complicated…and they saw this for themselves. A number of speakers shared their views with us: a much decorated army colonel, a center right journalist and a center left Tel Aviv University professor among them. We worked hard to learn about and understand the many views on the international and domestic challenges Israel faces, like Iran, the West Bank, economic disparity and women’s rights. -Friday night Robin and I went to Kibbutz Tzuba, near Jerusalem. Robin directs admissions for a high school semester-in-Israel program and we had Shabbat dinner with “her” kids. That was fun. The rest of the group attended services at a local Reform synagogue and were hosted for dinner by member families. The next morning on the bus, everybody had stories to tell and it appears lots of email addresses were exchanged. We also heard that lots of delicious food got served…though not, it appears, in every house! -Last Sunday was, to be sure, our most serious day, and perhaps the most memorable. A remarkable young man named Avner, from a group called Breaking the Silence, led us on a tour of Hebron, in the heart of the West Bank. Few Jews go there and the city center, where a small group of right wing settlers have been ensconced for years, is incredibly heavily guarded. It was impossible to avoid seeing the impact of this presence and to say we were all uncomfortable is an understatement. -Later, we visited a wonderful woman named Barbara who lives in Gush Etzion, surely the least controversial part of the West Bank. While we may not have agreed with everything she said, we could not help but admire her commitment to her community, and especially, her affirmation that if real peace could be achieved, and her moving would make the difference, she would. -These two worlds were new to all of us, but helped us understand the Israel of today better. -I cannot write even an incomplete account of our journey without mentioning dinner on February 12. Somehow or other – I truly have no idea how! – the restaurant where we ate dinner learned that it was both Robin and Nancy Bernstein’s birthday. We had a wonderful meal right on Lake Kinneret (aka the Sea of Galilee) when suddenly the lights went off, the boat on which we had earlier briefly cruised pulled away from shore, and in the celebrants’ honor we witnessed an amazing fireworks display. And that was only the beginning. -Needless to say, Robin and Nancy asked Ken and me what we have planned for next year! -At times it felt like we were on information overload as the experiences and the conversations and the new sights and new people got to be…well, a lot. But we were all sad to leave one another and I know that ties to Israel have been strengthened and all of us have a better grasp of Israel than we did before…and are glad of it. And we are also glad of the strong ties all of us now share. -So everybody else left and I (literally) wheeled my suitcase across the street from the Dan Panorama Jerusalem to the Hotel Prima Royale (which for the record is neither). I joined an already in progress rabbinic mission from our Greater Metrowest Federation. For the last three days, ten of us rabbis (Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and me) met and toured with academics and tour guides and officials from the World Zionist Organization and the Foreign Ministry, in effect receiving a crash course in Israeli politics and foreign affairs. This was unquestionably a case of information overload, thought it was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. -I’ll need some time to process all we learned but perhaps the neatest part of the experience – and one I didn’t even think about previously – was being with such a diverse and wonderful group. The ten of us became fast friends, sharing thoughts and dreams, concerns and worries. We found that though we represented a quite diverse ideological spectrum, our lives were more similar than we would have imagined. Happily, the date for a reunion lunch has already been marked. -So now it’s time to come home, and I m excited about that…yes, to see Robin, and also because I know it will be warm and I assume our driveway will have been shoveled! More seriously, I miss Temple B’nai Abraham and knowing what has gone on in the lives of our extended family. I look forward to being on the pulpit at tomorrow’s early service, and hope I will be forgiven for the occasional yawn. -As always when leaving Israel, I recite a silent prayer for peace.

An asset is an item of economic value that is expected to yield a benefit to the owing entity in future periods. Assets are classified as being either current or noncurrent assets. A current asset, such as cash, account receivable, and prepaid expenses, is expected to be consumed within one year, while noncurrent assets, such as long-term investments, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets, are to be consumed in more than one year. This course includes a discussion of both current and noncurrent assets. For example, promulgated GAAP for current assets is provided in ASC 210-10-45-1 through 45-4, Balance Sheet: Overall. Receivables are covered in ASC 310 Receivables comprising nonrefundable fees, loans and debt securities, and troubled debt restructurings by creditors. Guidance on the accounting and reporting of inventory is provided in ASC 330 Inventory. ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment provides guidance on accounting for long-lived tangle assets such as land and land improvements, buildings, and equipment. -This course is included in the MEGA CPE Bundle. -Format: Online pdf (111 pages). -• Recognize how to properly account for and classify assets. -• Indicate how cash and related items are reported. -• Recognize receivables and how to correctly factor and assign them. -• Identify correct disclosure requirements for receivables. -• Recognize how to account for inventories including different costs, consigned goods, financing product arrangements and lower of cost or market. -• Recognize how to compute inventory balances using the LIFO method. -• Identify proper disclosure requirements for inventory. -• Recognize how to account for different fixed asset costs. -• Identify accounting procedures for fixed assets such as conversions, depletion and exchange/disposal of assets. -• Recognize disclosure requirements for fixed assets. -• Recognize the accounting procedures for depletion of natural resources. -• Identify the procedures for amortizing intangible assets. -• Recognize the disclosure requirements for intangibles. -The William Root House Museum and Garden is one of the oldest surviving houses in Marietta. The museum features a glimpse of life for a typical middle class Georgia family in 1850. -Built in 1845 by early settlers Hannah and William Root, the Root House is one of just a few buildings that survived Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign. The house used as a single-family residence until the 1940’s when it was divided into apartments. -By the late 1980’s, the house was in disrepair and scheduled for demolition. When it was found to be one of the oldest buildings in Marietta, it was purchased by the Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society and restored to it’s 1845 appearance. -Every room in the Root House contains authentic period pieces, allowing visitors to learn the story of the Root family and life in Civil War era Georgia.

Causes of Heart Failure: What every physician needs to know. -Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome in which the heart is unable to provide sufficient blood flow to meet the metabolic needs of the body, or is only able to do so with significantly increased intracardiac filling pressure. However, this is a somewhat older definition, and many people now define heart failure as a clinical syndrome where there is structural heart disease and impaired function. -Heart failure is often referred to as congestive heart failure (CHF). Many experts believe that the term “congestion” does not uniformly apply to all patients, and the syndrome is often referred to as “heart failure” in more contemporary times. -Heart failure is most often characterized as systolic, if ejection fraction (EF) is decreased, and diastolic, if ejection fraction is preserved. “Diastolic” heart failure is also often called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) or heart failure with preserved systolic function (HFPSF). -Systolic heart failure is often due to damage to the heart, such as ischemia or alcohol exposure. Diastolic heart failure is often due to longstanding hypertension or intracardiac infiltration such as with amyloid protein, which “stiffens” both ventricles. It is not usually possible to distinguish systolic from diastolic heart failure based on signs and symptoms alone, as both share substantial clinical features. -II. Diagnostic Confirmation: Are you sure your patient has Heart Failure? -Heart failure is diagnosed at the bedside using history and physical findings. There is no absolute laboratory test for the diagnosis of heart failure. -A characteristic history includes exertional dyspnea, fatigue, and edema. Physical exam would be notable for volume overload (jugular venous distention, dependent edema), S3 gallop, and often pulmonary rales. -However, it is important to note that the absence of rales does not exclude heart failure, as the lymphatic system can provide substantial compensation, particularly in patients with chronic heart failure. Pulmonary congestion is typically evident on chest radiography. -Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) levels are typically elevated, although renal failure and obesity are commonly recognized confounders. The hallmark laboratory exam of heart failure is an echocardiogram. -The presence of a decreased EF is sufficient to give a diagnosis of systolic heart failure; other modalities such as gated nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or gated computed tomography (CT) are also able to determine EF. -Diastolic heart failure is diagnosed in the presence of the clinical syndrome of heart failure with preserved EF. Efforts should be made to determine the etiology of heart failure. -Exertional dyspnea and fatigue are virtually universal. Volume overload is usually found, but in the modern era of powerful loop diuretics, some patients do not manifest fluid overload. -Nocturnal symptoms such as orthopnea and/or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND) are also highly suggestive of heart failure. Abdominal discomfort or fullness is also a frequently reported symptom. Patients with well-compensated heart failure may have minimal symptoms and no evidence of volume overload. Characteristics of end-stage heart failure may include cachexia and Cheyne-Stokes respirations. -Approximately half of patients with heart failure have systolic failure and the other half have diastolic heart failure. Some have features of both types. Heart failure is perhaps more common in men and in those who identify as black racially. -Risk increases with age. Regardless, the most important risk factors for developing heart failure on a population basis are hypertension, myocardial infarction, and diabetes. -The majority of diastolic heart failure is a result of longstanding hypertension, and this phenotype of heart failure is more common in women. Infiltrative diseases, such as amyloidosis and hemochromatosis, also typically lead to diastolic heart failure, often with restrictive physiology. -Prior chest radiation is another potential cause of diastolic heart failure, and the incidence may increase as prolonged cancer survivorship increases. Once patients are hospitalized with diastolic heart failure, the prognosis is approximately the same as systolic heart failure. -Hypertension and diabetes also increase the risk of systolic heart failure through the increased risk of coronary artery disease and myocardial infarctions. Thus efforts to minimize coronary artery disease would be anticipated to have substantial impact on risk of developing heart failure. -The causes of systolic heart failure are myriad, including coronary artery disease, genetic or familial, viral (including HIV), idiopathic, valvular, inflammatory (myocarditis, sarcoidosis), thyroid disease, tachycardia-mediated (often from previously unrecognized atrial fibrillation), stress-induced (also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy), nutritional deficiency (such as thiamine or selenium), systemic myopathies (such as muscular dystrophies), and peripartum cardiomyopathy. -Alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamines, anthracyclines, some antirheumatic medications (such as hydroxychloroquine) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors are common toxic causes of heart failure, which are typically identified through patient history. -Common alternative causes of volume overload include renal failure, liver failure, and hypoalbuminemia. Common alternative causes of exertional breathlessness are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism (PE), and pneumonia. Coronary artery disease also may present with a dyspnea-predominant phenotype, rather than chest pain, as is classically expected. -Evaluation of the central venous pressure is of the utmost importance. -Profoundly low cardiac output states may be characterized by hypotension and/or narrow pulse pressure along with cool or mottled skin. -Sinus tachycardia is common but may be compensatory. -Chest x-ray (CXR) and EKG are essential in the evaluation of a patient with suspected heart failure. Beyond providing information supporting the diagnosis of heart failure, these diagnostic tests often provide an alternative diagnosis (atrial fibrillation, pneumonia, lung mass, etc.) that implies heart failure may not be the key diagnosis. -Echocardiogram is also essential and will provide substantial information about the size, structure, and function of the heart. MRI, which provides detailed information on the myocardium, should be considered. -MRI can provide strong, noninvasive evidence of etiology in many cases, such as prior infarction, myocarditis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular noncompaction, stress or “Takotsubo” cardiomyopathy, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, or hemochromatosis, for example. Positron emission tomography (PET) can also be used to diagnose cardiac sarcoidosis. -Endomyocardial biopsy should be considered in highly select circumstances, such as suspicion of myocarditis. Biopsy also has a role in defining the subtype of amyloid cardiomyopathy (e.g., transthyretin versus amyloid light-chain (AL)). Patients with a family history of cardiomyopathy should be offered the option of referral for genetic counseling and testing. -BNP (or NT-proBNP) should be considered, particularly if other causes of dyspnea such as COPD are being considered if there is doubt about the diagnosis. Very low levels virtually exclude heart failure, but can be confounded by obesity. -Elevated levels can be seen in renal failure without substantial heart failure, but at least suggest volume overload. Elevated BNP in the absence of renal failure is strongly suggestive of heart failure, but BNP levels are increased with age. -Basic metabolic parameters including renal and hepatic function should be measured. Renal dysfunction may be a seen as a result of low cardiac output or elevated venous filling pressure. -Hepatic parameters (ALT, AST, total bilirubin) and international normalized ratio (INR) may be elevated as a consequence of hepatic congestion. Serum albumin is helpful in excluding malnutrition as an alternative explanation for peripheral edema. -Minor elevations in troponin are characteristic of heart failure exacerbation, but typically do not rise and fall as in acute coronary syndrome; myocarditis should be considered if troponin is substantially elevated. Inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) would also be typically elevated in myocarditis, but are not diagnostic if elevated. Anemia (hemoglobin or hematocrit) and gout (uric acid) and are also frequent comorbidities to consider. -Additional testing to establish the etiology of heart failure should be considered and may include: HIV, ferritin (hemochromatosis), thyroid-stimulating hormone, and serum free light chains (amyloid), for example. Testing for specific viruses other than HIV is not routinely performed, but Coxsackie, Epstein-Barr, and varicella zoster could be considered. Exclusion of connective tissue disease with antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is also often performed. -CXR film (Figure 1) may show cardiomegaly, but the absence does not exclude heart failure. Pulmonary edema is an important finding, but can be confused with pneumonitis or other causes of diffuse infiltrates. Accompanying findings such as pleural effusions may be helpful in interpretation. -Chest x-ray film demonstrating cardiomegaly and pulmonary edema. -An echocardiogram will provide size; structural detail, including evaluation of valves; and myocardial function, including EF and presence of absence of regional wall motion abnormalities. This is the most important test when considering heart failure as a diagnosis. -Abdominal ultrasound may demonstrate hepatomegaly and/or ascites, although these findings are often evident on exam and thus are not routinely indicated. -The hallmarks of treatment of diastolic heart failure are control of congestion, heart rate in the presence of atrial fibrillation to increase ventricular filling time, and control of systolic blood pressure. The majority of evidence on the treatment of heart failure has been for systolic heart failure, and is thus the focus of the remainder of this section. -There are three “to do’s” in the management of heart failure: (1) control congestion, (2) provide neurohormonal antagonists, and (3) consider sudden cardiac death prevention and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Since congestion causes most symptoms, this should be prioritized. -Congestion control is achieved with sodium and sometimes (if there is hyponatremia) moderate fluid restriction; most patients need loop diuretics. Congestion is managed the same for systolic and diastolic heart failure. -Second, neurohormonal antagonists (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), beta-blockers, aldosterone antagonists, and vasodilators in select populations) are critical for the treatment of systolic heart failure and should be initiated. Although it is critical to use the drugs and doses that were found to be effective in landmark clinical trials, very few patients will tolerate initiation of full doses of these medications, and a period of uptitration over several weeks to months should be anticipated. -There is no consensus regarding whether beta-blockers or ACEI/ARB should be initiated first, and beta-blockers should be avoided in the setting of cardiogenic shock, severe bradycardia, complete heart block, or bronchospasm. Studies of neurohormonal antagonists for diastolic heart failure have been disappointing, but neurohormonal antagonists are still often used for their antihypertensive effect, and their safety in this population is well-established. -Although there is no mortality benefit, digoxin has been noted to improve symptoms and reduce the risk of hospitalization. Finally, consideration should be given to “electrical therapy,” which consists of CRT (if QRS >130 ms) and sudden cardiac death prevention with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). -The risk of sudden cardiac death is much higher with an EF <35%, and in the absence of contraindications such as life expectancy less than 1 year, electrical therapy should be considered. Patients should be receiving optimal medical therapy for at least 3 months before implanting an ICD. -Wearable external defibrillators are sometimes used during the period of medical uptitration to permit reevaluation of EF; a sizable fraction of patients will improve on medical therapy to the point that an implantable ICD is not indicated. -Patients who are unable to tolerate medical therapy or experience progression despite these therapies suggest a very poor prognosis and may be considered for advanced options, such as mechanical circulatory support (MCS, also known as ventricular assist device or VAD) or heart transplant. -ACEI/ARB and beta-blockers are both initiated at minimal dose, but uptitration of ACEI/ARB is typically prioritized, as full dose can typically be achieved more quickly. Beta-blocker dose is then increased every 1 to 2 weeks to the maximally tolerated dose. Timing of the introduction of aldosterone antagonist is individualized based on need for diuretics and potassium supplementation, and often deferred to prioritize ACEI/ARB and beta-blockers. -Administration of diuretics is the hallmark of emergency treatment of heart failure and most patients respond promptly. Inadequate response should precipitate rapid escalation of a diuretic dose. -A common rule of thumb is to double an ineffective dose. Consideration should be given to vasodilators if systemic blood pressure is adequate (e.g., mean arterial pressure greater than 70 to 75 mm Hg). In the event of hypotension or cardiogenic shock, initiation of inotropes, such as dobutamine and/or dopamine, may be necessary. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is an option and mechanical support such as an intraaortic balloon pump may also be indicated. -In addition to evaluation of symptomatic response, physical exam findings that should be monitored while providing treatment for heart failure include frequent evaluation of jugular venous pressure and vital signs, with particular attention to blood pressure and heart rate. Sinus tachycardia is often a compensatory response and improvement is thought to represent a favorable response to treatment. -Serial examinations should also focus attention on the presence of absence of S3/S4, liver span, presence or absence of ascites, and degree and distribution of edema. Urine output should also be monitored, as this provides the most direct measure of pace of decongestion and also indicates adequate (or not) renal perfusion. -Basic metabolic panels are typically performed shortly after initiation of therapy (at least daily while hospitalized), to monitor renal function and ensure that diuretics are not causing dangerous perturbations in serum potassium levels. Following initiation of aldosterone antagonists, more frequent monitoring of potassium is indicated. -A commonly used strategy is 1 week after initiation or dose increase, and then again at 1 month. Once a stable medication regimen has been established, routine intermittent testing in heart failure patients is not typically performed. There is some data to suggest that BNP levels may be used to guide therapy. -Maintaining patients with heart failure on maximally tolerated doses of neurohormonal antagonists (ACEI/ARB, beta-blockers, aldosterone antagonists) are critical to minimizing risk of disease progression, symptomatic decompensation, hospitalization, and mortality. Application of CRT when indicated has also been shown to improve outcomes, and should be periodically reconsidered, as patient status or criteria for implant may change over time. -Education on salt avoidance, the role of fluid restriction, and self-care including daily weight monitoring are all important to reduce burden of disease and avoid hospitalization. Over time, it is not uncommon for patients with heart failure to become intolerant to maximal doses of medical therapy. -The need to decrease the doses of medications is a predictor of adverse outcome, and may be an appropriate time to consider evaluation for advanced options. For patients with end-stage disease, palliative care and/or hospice may be appropriate, and deactivation of ICD may be considered. -Digoxin is sometimes used in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure with insufficient rate control. Typical dose is 62.5 to 250 mcg daily. -Concurrent anemia: Treatment may improve heart failure symptoms. -Concurrent arrhythmias: Consider the role that uncontrolled arrhythmias may have on heart failure exacerbation. Improved control of atrial fibrillation or premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) may improve symptoms. Many antiarrhythmics are contraindicated in severe heart failure. -Concurrent chronic kidney disease: Continue ACEI/ARB if possible, but if necessary to discontinue, replace with isosorbide/hydralazine combination. May contribute to anemia. Aldosterone antagonists have a substantially increased risk of hyperkalemia. -Concurrent diabetes: Avoid thiazolidinediones (TZDs) in all heart failure patients and metformin if there is significant renal dysfunction. -Concurrent gout: It is likely that diuretic dosing will need to be increased if a gout flareup is treated with steroids. -Concurrent liver disease: Liver congestion is common and may result in the need to alter dose of medications metabolized by the liver. -Concurrent prostatic hypertrophy: Alpha blockers should be avoided, as they have been shown to increase mortality in heart failure patients. -Concurrent sleep apnea: Should be treated aggressively to minimize neurohormonal activation. -Aldosterone antagonists should not be used in patients with underlying chronic kidney disease. -Consider use of the Seattle Heart Failure Model or the Heart Failure Survival Score for estimating a patient’s prognosis. -Consider referral to dietitian to augment teaching on importance of low-salt diet. -Weigh yourself at the same time every day and record the result. Report increases of more than 3 lb in a day or 5 lb in a week to your doctor; however, not all decompensations are preceded by antecedent weight gain. -Avoid sodium intake and strive to keep less than 2,000 mg daily. -Take your medications as prescribed every day. -Report changes in symptoms promptly. -“2009 Focused update incorporated into the ACC/AHA 2005 guidelines for the diagnosis and management of heart failure in adults: A report of the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association task force on practice guidelines.

What IS this? :confused: My 'le hairs' are short and new, and on top of my head just like Martyna's…they're not noticeable until you look closely, but this bothers me a bit. -I have a few, and I found one on my husband recently. I think its normal to have different hair textures mixed in. I have a mix of fine and medium mostly, with some super coarse and super fine mixed in. Occationally I find those type 4 hairs mixed in but they don't worry me :P its these "albino" hairs I keep finding that bother me...... they seem to be growing in numbers lol! -When I was a teen I had a weird "le hair" on the middle of my head, right at my forehead, it was thicker than dog hair and had a massive root with a diameter of a few mm. To this day I don't know what caused that to grow there. After pulling it out (it was too thick even for a fine toothed comb to pass over), it never grew back. I had a gaping little hole for a few weeks, though. -I giggled at barbed wire fence. -I'm 45 now with a section trying to be a cool stripe and some sparklies scattered about. -You have to be very close to notice the silvers. -So early invasion can be slow colonization as far as grey is concerned. -Texture? I think that's so random. I joke that it's proof I should have been curly. -At 45, there's an age related texture shift possibility. -I'm so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one. I started finding these in 2008, and they're super coarse, black and crinkly. 2-3x the width of the other hairs. I fried and dyed my hair for a few years straight, so I've never noticed how many there are, but now that I'm growing it out, I have at least 30% coverage of them. I'm brunette, at least, so it's harder to tell, but they're all JET BLACK and crinkly. They stand up in weird ways, too. -Experimental design and architectural firm, D*Haus Company, takes their inspiration for the creation of structures, furniture, and lighting from mathematics, most specifically from Henry Ernest Dudeney, the mathemetician who figured out how to evolve a perfect square into an equilateral triangle. -Their D*Haus modular homes demonstrate their belief that ideas “can help improve and inspire our daily lives… through flexibility, adaptability and originality.” Available in four different versions, the D*Haus can be delivered in a single kit from which a minimum of eight configurations can be constructed. -From a single D*Static kit of identical parts, eight different houses can be affordably constructed. Dubbed as “one of the most economic and sustainable ways of building prefabricated homes,” the D*Static can be built into as many as five bedrooms in one- or two-story configurations. Each kit is constructed off-site from cross-laminated timber, so that on-site construction can happen in a matter of days. Facade panels are made of highly available and sustainable arctic spruce. Window glazing allows for passive gain of incoming solar energy and outstanding U-values are achieved from super insulation. -The upscale D*Lux version for luxury homes will also permit eight different versions of a home to be built from a single kit. Made from high-quality materials while utilizing the same process as in the D*Static model, the D*Lux home is eco-friendly and sustainable while featuring larger living areas, balconies, porches, and standard swimming pools in hot climates. -From the D*Modular kit, an infinite number of houses can be built. With a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and flexibility, the D*Modular home can grow as you grow. -The centerpiece of the D*Haus collection is the D*Dynamic, billed as “a house for all seasons.” The D*Dynamic is capable of dynamic response to the environment by “controlled adaptation to seasonal, meteorological and astronomical conditions.” Moving inside itself, the D*Dynamic transforms into eight different configurations in response to changes in seasons and time of day. Heavy external walls can unfold into internal walls, permitting glass internal walls to transform into facades, changing the shape and perspective of the building to take advantage of environmental energy sources. -Hi everyone. Firstly I must apologise for the lack of blog posts in the last few weeks; in fact since 5 March when I posted the last one. I've had a manically busy few weeks having taken on a number of new clients. Also, I am preparing for a photo shoot of my flat in mid April which has been stressing me out somewhat. So I've been furiously upcycling some of my furniture with Annie Sloan paint (separate blog post shortly) and changing lampshades on all my table lamps. -Table lamps can be so boring and serve no other purpose than to provide a lighting source. Gone are the days when you only had a limited choice of shades, mainly 50 shades of beige or cream!! Now you can buy the most divine shades and make a real statement, a wow factor, even if the lamp base is a bit "meh". The reverse is a statement lamp base with a plain shade that doesn't compete. However, beware as you can spend hundreds of pounds on a lamp shade and even thousands of pounds on a lamp base. It's a matter of finding something affordable and you really love. -There is a great shop in London called Pooky Lighting which sells affordable and fun lamp bases and shades so I popped in and bought three pairs of lampshades for the bedrooms and kitchen. What a difference they have made to the rooms; the lighting has transformed the spaces from "meh" to "tah-dah" !!! -In the kitchen I changed the shades from plain taupe coloured silk to these gorgeous silk Ikat pleated shades by Pooky Lights. In the sitting room I replaced a pair of beige linen shades in the alcoves with black & white Ikat ones which really draw the eye in. -And finally, I bought a rather expensive but absolutely divine lamp base from Nicholas Haslam designed by Paolo Moschino. It is my piece de resistance but one of those items that you see and just have to have!! It is solid handcarved brass and it was the way it opened up like a flower and had such beautiful flowing lines that made me fall in love with it. The jury is out on whether any of my friends like it !! -I would love to hear what sort of table lamps you have and would be happy to offer some advice if you are thinking of changing them so do contact me. -Amber Associates Recruitment Solutions is a traditional recruitment agency & business.

It was like a dream, but I wasn’t sleeping. I saw myself in a war. People were fighting in all kinds of ways, and babies were crying. But in the dream, I was safe. -When I woke up, I wondered if I was crazy! I didn’t believe those in my dream who said that Jesus is the real way and we should believe him. I didn’t know what to believe. -Before I had this vision, I had asked God to show me the real truth. It was then I had this dream. After that, I believed in Him, and I know that this way is the truth. -– Let’s take a moment to remember that there are people from different faiths and background seeking the truth. Pray that they will see visions and dreams. Pray that the Lord will send them believers to help them be established in the word and to grow in the knowledge of Christ. -Check out our recipe for a Southern classic, BBQ Shrimp & Grits. -**To coarse-grind the peppercorns, use a blender or peppermill. The grind is important to the taste of the finished dish. -Place the shrimp, Worcestershire, pepper, Creole seasoning, garlic, and 1 tablespoon water in a heavy 10-inch, stainless-steel sauté pan. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the shrimp and add the rind and pulp to the pan. -Over high heat, cook the shrimp while gently stirring and occasionally turning the shrimp. -If the shrimp are the colossal size, add 2 tablespoons water to the pan. Otherwise, don’t add water. -Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue cooking as you gradually add the cold pieces of butter to the pan. While turning the shrimp occasionally, swirl the butter pieces until they are incorporated into the pan juices, the sauce turns light brown and creamy as it simmers, and the shrimp are just cooked through. This will take about two minutes total if the shrimp are extra-large, and about three minutes total if they’re colossal. Do not overcook the shrimp. -Combine the grits, chicken stock, heavy cream, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper in a pot. Bring to a boil and reduce to a slow simmer. -Stir the grits frequently to prevent sticking and burning. -Continue to cook on a slow simmer making sure to constantly stir the grits if they get to thick before they are tender. -May is a busy month, with various key dates of celebration and recognition. Over the course of the month, i am going to share with you some tools and suggestions. First up, in honour of Maternal Mental Health Week, here is a tool that i put together. After studying both Dialectical Behaviour Therapy as well as more body-based self-compassion modalities, i find this tool can be helpful to help you take control of your emotions. I love acronyms as it makes it so much easy to remember the suggestions. Plus it’s a helpful reminder that we can be in control of our feelings. -It can be hard to take time for yourself, especially when we are told to take care of others and that it’s selfish to do kind things for ourselves. This tool can be a great way for you to steal some moments to yourself, in an intentional way. It also can manifest some good feelings that linger. Rainbows are incredible symbols of everyday magic or woo woo, and taking time to notice the joy and beauty in the everyday helps us with our emotional well-being. We deserve to notice these moments, and deserve to take time to pause. -It’s important to slow down and catch your breath. We can only see rainbows when we are able to be aware of what’s in front of us. This is also a great way to notice what we need an a given moment. What can you do in this moment to rest and relax? Can you put your feet up and just take in the sights and sounds around you? Linger a bit longer in the shower, add some luxurious hand lotion to your sensory self-care. Have a cat-nap. Maybe treat yourself to a nice mala bracelet with your favourite crystal – this can be a calming tool and a way to practice some mindful meditation. -Radical Acceptance is a helpful tool to be able to acknowledge something for what it is. That doesn’t mean we have to truly agree with it, but the acceptance can be a first step to let things go. This stops the pain from turning into suffering, and it allows us to be more present with ourselves in the present. When we don’t accept something, it keeps us stuck. So, try working with this idea and practice saying “it is what it is.” See how that starts to feel in your body. Maybe some parts feel less stuck or tight. -Setting intentions for a day, a week, or a year can be a guide that sets you with following where your want your life to go. The intention can be a simple word that carries meaning for you, or a mantra/affirmation that holds significance for you. If you don’t already have one, take some time to journal and brainstorm the words and phrases that are meaningful for you. It is a good way of giving ourselves permission to focus on what we really want, and to take ownership of our moods and behaviour. Then work on ways to implement it into your everyday life. Maybe there is a symbol that speaks to you as a guide – be it a rainbow of hope and luck, a butterfly of resilience, or a lavender flower that helps you feel calm. When you have a symbol that acts as Recalled Anchor (i wrote about it more here) or resource, seeing it in your everyday life is a great way to boost your mood. -Self-Compassion is not the same as self-esteem and yet they work well together. To have self-compassion, it implies that we need to treat ourselves with the loving kindness we give others when they need our support. Think of some ways to give yourself self-compassion – it can be a permission slip to eat some chocolate after a hard day, and to enjoy it without judgement. It can be to not do the dishes and instead watch some marathon TV. It can be a yoga stretch or dance to your favourite music. The compassion comes from reminding yourself that your matter and deserve this break. -Reading is a great way for your brain to take a break from the monkey mind or inner critic. It is especially helpful when we are able to distract ourselves from the everyday worries and thoughts. You can get your dog-eared favourite book, or a new book that you have never read; it can be a fiction novel, self-help book, or a how-to book for something you want to learn. Take time to write in your own journal, free writing or following a guide. If reading is not your thing, no worries. Listen to an audio book or a podcast. This podcast that talks more about everyday magic and woo woo is a great listen! Watch a movie that you have never seen before – the idea is to let your brain relax and absorb what it is taking in, instead of the constant chatter it typically takes you to. -Research has shown links to fresh air, being outdoors and mental health. Our brains are elastic and benefit from the change in scenery as well as air changes. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Polyvagal theory also show us that a quick walk outdoors can do a lot to change our mood. Everything is better outside. Think of some simple things you can do – a walk, sitting on your porch our balcony, a picnic snack during your lunch break for instance. Another benefit to getting outside is that there may be other people that you can connect with – it helps us feel less alone or isolated after being indoors when feeling down. You don’t need to have a long chat with someone, but a quick hello can be a great break your mind and body needs too. -In keeping with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, it’s imperative to take care of your basic needs. Research shows that we need to nurture our physical body in order to heal our mental health. Do a quick checklist – when was the last time you drank some water, had a healthy snack, slept enough, did some exercise for your body? If it’s been 2 hours since your last water break, have a glass right now. And then find ways to allow time for the other ways to take care of your body. -Buy stocks now that will stand the test of time and pay you to invest. -We love talking about the hot stocks here on the blog but what about the stocks you can buy and know they’ll produce solid returns for decades? -How do you find those forever stocks you can buy and just sit back and collect the checks? -It’s something every investor needs to know. Gone are the days you could just park your money in huge companies like GE and feel confident that your money will be there when you retire. -In this video, I’ll reveal the three factors I look for when buying stocks for the long-term and five stocks to buy right now. -Now I love to buy deep-value stocks and benefit from that near-term rebound. Perfect example is the Hanesbrands position in our 2019 Stock Market Challenge. I saw rising online sales and strength in the activewear segment ahead of a 52% surge in the shares. -But you also need to be investing for the long-term, right? We want to be building a portfolio that benefits from quick wins but one where our stocks are going to withstand the test of time. -Fortunately, there is a way to get both. Get that short-term pop plus the long-term returns that will beat your investing goals, or as I call them, forever stocks. -That’s exactly what we’re going to be doing today. In this video, I’ll show you the three factors I look for when picking stocks to buy for the long-term. I’ll cover each factor then I’m going to be revealing five stocks to buy right now that I think will produce those double-digit returns over the next 30 years. -The first factor I’m looking for in forever stocks is a dividend yield and there are a few reasons for that. -First is that, stocks that pay dividends just tend to do better. Now this graphic is a little jumbled but groups of stocks paying dividends and those with a history of growing their dividends are the blue lines at the top while no-dividend stocks and those cutting their cash payouts are the two bottom lines. The research this was based on has been sliced and diced every way but the simple truth is that dividend-paying companies beat the market. -One of the reasons for this is because that dividend payout acts as cash discipline on management. It’s harder to spend on those questionable projects if you know you’ve got to meet that $400 million dividend payment at the end of the quarter. -That dividend payment is like having some of your paycheck automatically invested instead of it sitting in your checking account tempting you to spend it on whatever commercial you see next. If you just don’t have the money sitting around, you’re less likely to spend it on stupid crap you don’t need. -Another reason I want to be investing in dividend stocks is because it’s always a positive return. This chart shows the percentage of return from dividends and price in each decade. Dividends might be a small part of your return when the market is booming like in the 90s but when the stock market crashes, that dividend return may be all you collect. Thirty years is a lot of bear markets so having those dividend stocks is going to be a lot of protection. -Now when I’m looking for dividend stocks, I want a company paying a yield of at least 2%. That’s the average dividend yield on the S&P 500 so I like to look for stocks paying maybe a little above average. -I also want to look at the payout ratio though and this is something we’ve talked about before. The payout ratio is the percentage of profits paid out to cover the dividend. I like to see a payout ratio of 60% or less so I know the company is keeping enough money back for growth as well as making those cash payments. -So obviously you know I’m all about dividend stocks but there’s another side of investing, looking at companies with the fastest growth. Think names like Tesla, Netflix and Amazon. This growth investing can be just as profitable or more than dividend investing so I need your opinion. Which do you want to see more videos about, dividend or growth investing. Just scroll down below the video and let me know in the comments. -An important note here, any type of investing can get really expensive if you’re buying and selling a lot. That’s why I’m using M1 Finance for our 2019 stock market challenge for a no-fee investing option that saves thousands. -The second factor I’m looking for in these long-term stocks to buy is going to take advantage of big macro trends. This means finding companies that will benefit from those large, universal trends like aging populations, food demand, automation. -We’re talking the massive, unstoppable forces that will unfold over decades. This kind of long-term investing is the best thing you can do for your portfolio and it’s really how some of these hedge funds managers like Seth Klarman make their billions. -This is one of my favorite ways to invest because it makes it so easy. You’re looking at these big trends and thinking, OK which sectors or industries of the economy will benefit? Those forces are going to drive demand for every company in that sector and industries so once you answer that question, you just look for the leaders in the group. -The best part is, you don’t have to pick that one best company because all the players in the group will benefit from these massive shifts. -Some of the biggest macro trends I’m watching include aging populations, so the fact that 10,000 Americans are reaching retirement age everyday and that’s going to affect everything from government services to consumer spending. -Food demand, global agricultural production just isn’t keeping up with demand, obviously automation and artificial intelligence will bring huge shifts in work and other areas. -Big data, and especially with the coming 5G networks I think will bring a wave of changes. Finally the shift in economic and political strength to Asia and here we’re not only talking about China which is the big one but also India and other parts of the region. -The third factor I’m looking for in long-term stocks is going to be just as important and that’s companies safe from the destruction in those macro trends. Just as a lot of opportunities are created from those massive trends, there’s also going to be that creative destruction that is the hallmark of capitalism. -With this one, think of entire industries like newspapers and magazines. Think of once hugely successful companies like Kodak that, while it’s survived, it’s hard to argue that the company is the giant it used to be. -Here I’m thinking about industries at risk from automation and AI and we’re not just talking about making the industry obsolete but the kind of change that will be hard for companies to keep up with. -There will always be a need for banking but the evolution to online banking, peer-to-peer lending and even digital currencies is making it very difficult for banks to keep up. You could have a best-of-breed bank stock but if they aren’t constantly adapting to these changes, it’s not going to last the thirty years. -I’m also looking at companies at risk to big regulatory concerns and what we’ll just call Death-by-Amazon. So here I want to stay away from pharmacy retail and drug makers, not because I think those industries won’t be around but because these big risks are evolving so quickly that a lot of companies won’t be able to keep up. -So those three factors are guiding my long-term investments but of course, I’m still doing that deep fundamental analysis when I pick stocks. I’m looking at cash flows and profitability like we’ve talked about in other videos and finding companies with a distinct advantage over competitors. -I know it’s a lot but nobody said finding the best stocks for the next 30 years would be easy. Now I’m going to reveal five names that I think could make the cut. Some of these are going to be pretty safe bets while others could be a little more risky. -Our first stock is an anchor for a lot of portfolios, Campbells Soup, ticker CPB. The $10 billion leader in packaged foods controls 60% of the canned soup market and a strong position in snacks and beverages. That kind of market share and size gives it negotiating power against retailers in shelf-space and pricing. -Management has made some missteps over the last couple of years but has also been the victim of some bad economics in food packaging. Food costs have been rising at around 3% annually but companies haven’t been able to pass these increases on to customers so profitability has suffered. Shares have fallen about 45% since mid-2016 but represent some great value right now. -Management has already driven $550 million in cost savings and expects another $400 million through 2022 which should rekindle some profitability. They’re also expecting to announce buyers for the international business and Bolthouse Farms Fresh segment by the end of the year. The two segments represent about $2.1 billion in revenue so I’m modeling around $4 billion from buyers that will significantly help to pay down some of that debt that’s acting as an overhang on the shares. -Earnings are expected 0.8% lower over the next four quarters but the company has a strong history of beating expectations. I’m forecasting $2.55 in earnings per share on stronger profitability which would put the shares around 14-times on a price-to-earnings basis. -The shares trade at a price of just 1.1-times sales which is a 40% discount to the five-year average and almost half the two-times average price-to-sales multiple in the industry so some good value here. -Besides a great valuation, solid dividend and just the strength of the company’s business, I love Campbells here for a potential catalyst. Activist hedge fund Third Point has been battling the company for years to unlock shareholder value and take control from the Dorrance family. The hedge fund owns about 7% of the shares and finally won an agreement last November to add two of its nominees to the board of directors. -That means shareholders have a strong voice on the board that is expert in increasing value. The hedge fund has said everything is on the table including a breakup of the company or asset sales to unlock value and investors get paid a 3.9% dividend while they wait. -So I like Campbells but you’re thinking, mmmm I just don’t see soup as a growth market that’s going to jump over the next 30 years. What else ya got for me? -China Mobile, ticker CHL, hits our list of stocks to buy for the long-term next. Just about every U.S. company has a ‘china’ plan to break into some part of the world’s second largest economy. Even though the U.S. economy is still about twice as big, China’s economy is adding almost twice the value to its economy every year because it’s growing so fast. -Getting exposure to that growth through U.S. companies with sales in China just isn’t enough. EVERY SINGLE INVESTOR needs to own some Chinese domestic stocks and China Mobile is one of my top picks. -The telecom company controls 61% of the 4G market and 60% of the total wireless market. With 916 million subscribers, it’s the largest telecom in the world and despite this ginormous size already, it’s still posting some astonishing growth. China Mobile also became the country’s largest fixed broadband provider last year, controlling 42% of the market and accounting for 73% of all new broadband customers versus the other two telecoms China Unicom and China Telecom. -China is determined to be the leader in 5G, it’s said so publicly and this is one of the first tech evolutions where it really has a chance to set the pace and it’s going to do it. That’s going to open up a lot of opportunity for telecoms and the broader economy. IoT smart connections among corporate clients increased 154% in the first half of last year to 384 million, that’s already more than the entire population of the United States. -Behind all this growth is also one of the strongest balance sheets I’ve seen with $70 billion in cash, that’s more than 30% of the company’s stock market value. For comparison, Apple’s cash stock pile is less than 10% of its market value and China Mobile is generating over $7.6 billion in free cash flow every year. -Shares pay a 3.9% dividend yield and the company pays out 48% of profits to the dividend which is solid but still obviously leaves lots of money for growth. At a price-to-sales ratio of two-times which is just under the 2.15-times average over the last five years, the shares aren’t a bargain here but the long-term potential is undisputed. -There is one major drawback to China Mobile, the controlling ownership by the Chinese government. As the controlling shareholder and regulator of all three domestic telecom operators, the government is a limiting force on how powerful any one company can become. In fact, over the last decade, it’s swapped out the CEOs of the companies twice to try distributing management experience and knowledge. The upside to all of this is that the Chinese market will continue to grow and the government wouldn’t consider letting anyone else play beyond the three established companies so you basically have an implicit guarantee for China Mobile. -ConAgra Foods, ticker CAG, is one I added to our 2019 Dividend Portfolio in February. The company is a U.S. powerhouse in prepared meals where it’s the second-largest in the industry. It has a 40% market share in canned tomatoes and more than a fifth of the meat snacks market with Slim Jim. The company has some solid brands in that relatively safer consumer staples sector so we’re talking dividends as well as a recession-proof industry. -Management fumbled big time with last year’s Pinnacle acquisition and had to lower the profit outlook by 20% late last year. The problems were centered around Pinnacle’s distribution business so a little harder to read but management has been very transparent since December about its plans going forward. I think they’re being overly conservative on estimates for a 5% sales decline and margin loss on the Pinnacle assets so the next surprise could be on the upside when things come out better than expected. -Despite the missteps, the Pinnacle deal still brought a lot of opportunity to the company with a position in the faster-growing frozen foods space. Consumer data is showing millennials are adopting frozen meals at a higher rate than previous generations and it’s hard to imagine a tech shift that could put this industry in jeopardy. -Shares of ConAgra pay a 3.9% dividend which management has affirmed with its new 2019 outlook and trade for just 9.9-times trailing earnings, that’s a 41% discount to the price multiple where it was trading in November. Cash flow is still solid and management is expecting $215 million in cost savings through 2022 on the acquisition. The average analyst price target is 50% higher than the current price and even the lowest price target is 8% higher. -Next we have the Vanguard Real Estate ETF, ticker VNQ, which is probably my favorite exchange traded fund and another in our 2019 challenge portfolio. It holds shares of 187 real estate companies spread across all the property types and across the United States. -Everyone in the community knows I’m a huge believer in real estate. I got my first professional job as a commercial property analyst while in college, I’ve managed my own rental properties and have seen real estate create more fortunes than any other asset. Real estate is truly a generational wealth-builder and will always be in demand. -The fund pays a 4.2% dividend yield and has returned 14.7% annually over the last decade. Beyond the solid cash yield and return, this is a great opportunity to take a little risk out of the stock market and have it in a real physical asset like property. -The fund has been under pressure over the last couple of years because of those rising interest rates. Obviously with the leverage used in real estate, any time you have rising rates, that’s going to weigh on returns but the Fed has signaled no more rate hikes this year and that could unleash a lot of value in real estate. -We saw the real estate fund in blue here outperforming stocks through 2017 when rates started heading higher. Looking more recently with that market crash last year and we’re seeing real estate outperform again. -Now I know I said I wanted to stay away from pharmaceutical stocks because of that potential for regulatory problems over drug prices but I think Cardinal Health, ticker CAH, deserves a spot on the list. The $15 billion leader in medical supplies and pharmaceutical distribution to hospitals and pharmacies is diversified enough that I think it can withstand some of that regulatory risk. -The biggest reason I’d overlook that risk of problems with drug pricing is the company’s position in one of the biggest and surest demographic trends, the aging population. The very middle of the Baby Boomer generation, those born in 1955, turn 64 years old this year. That still puts a tidal wave of people over the next two decades that will be increasing the demand for healthcare. -Between AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson, these three companies control 90% of the pharmaceutical wholesale market in the country. Even if we do see true enthusiasm for drug price controls from the government, which is a long-shot to start, then I think it’s likely the industry can negotiate a compromise that still maintains solid profits while moderating price increases. -Management has identified over $300 million in cost savings it can drive this year and next which could rocket free cash flow. Shares pay a 3.8% dividend yield and the payout has grown at an 8% annualized clip over the last five years. -Analysts are only expecting 2.4% earnings growth to $5.10 per share over the next year but the company has a history of thrashing expectations. Over the last two years, management has surprised on the upside by 14% over expectations with even stronger results lately. Even the estimate though puts the shares at 10-times earnings so definitely some value in this one. -Finding stocks to buy now isn’t the only question you need to ask as investor. It’s just as important to find the investments that will not only grow your money but the companies that will be around when you retire. Use a few basic screens and analysis to find these forever stocks to invest your money and have the confidence that it will be there when you need it. -UNESCO Almaty Cluster Office is seeking expressions of interest from qualified and experienced individuals, teams or organizations to develop description of information panels to be installed at 11 component sites of the Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang’an – Tian-shan Corridor World Heritage (WH) property in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

Reading various media reports I got to understand that these promises form part of 42 projects that are identified under his National Development Plan. -Since the days of Jawara and then Yaya Jammeh we have these presidential countrywide tours where numerous promises are made. In most cases these promises are not fulfilled but get repeated at every tour. -This trend has to stop. But if only citizens begin to actively identify these promises in order to track their implementation. -Citizens in each and every village, town, ward, district or region must begin to list these promises made to them so that after the tour they start the process of following up with the relevant Government institutions as well as their National Assembly Member and Local Government Chairperson, Governor and Mayor to ensure that the promises that the Chief Servant gave them are fulfilled. -This is the only way we will end the usual practice of empty promises imposed on citizens by politicians. This is the only way we will make our presidents honest and effective. This is the only way citizens will ensure that no politicians and public officers take them for a ride. -Therefore, to start that process, I have gone through various media reports to capture some of the promises made by the Chief Servant Adam Barrow and some of his ministers during the tour. I urge you to also go back to those reports to identify which promise was made to your village or town or ward or district or region. We must not let Adama Barrow treat us as how DK Jawara and Yaya Jammeh treated us. -11. To build fish processing factories and storage facilities in Tanji and Brufut that would create more than 20, 000 jobs. Work to begin 2019. -15. To make Jarra and Kiang the first to benefit from national electricity roadmap. -19. Minster of Education Claudiana Cole promised Kombo North a new and accessible senior secondary school for the district if the people can provide land. -26. A digital register that would register all pregnant women in the country to enable health workers to monitor, respond and send alerts to them. -What was promised to your village or town or region? Find out and start tracking the fulfilment of the promises. Promises, when made, are to be kept and not broken! -CSOs and NAMs and other stakeholder must also follow up on these promises. Let us help Barrow fulfil his promises! -Adamas’ track record has so far failed the apt title of “chief servant” after merely one and a half year in office. He is gradually turning into a tyrant, warning would-be protesters about severe consequences Jammeh-style, and demeaning Gambian political activists abroad (I have a problem with the term diasporans, whatever that means). Don’t shy away from the term a dictator in the making, Madi. -We are witnessing glaring similarities between Adama and the past FAILED presidents of the republic. That should be a call for more vigilance and scrutiny of all aspects and branches of an administration that is evidently taking us downhill. Nevertheless, expecting any different results from Adama and Ousainou, from that of Dawda and Yaya will be pure insanity. -Madi keep up the unflinching loyalty to your people and the truth. -I say jerre jeff, njaraama, abaaraka. -87 out of 100. Incorporating 1300+ ratings and reviews. -The JamMan Stereo is the current JamMan series flagship looper pedal, and while it has been years since it was first introduced, it is still very much relevant and in demand. -It stays true to the original JamMan design, focusing more on the needs of singer/guitarists with its four footswitch interface, stereo input/output, and microphone compatibility via a balanced XLR input. -As expected, there's a lot of loop recording time to work with, thanks to its 35 minutes total recording time and 99 internal memory slots. And if that's not enough, you can expand the memory to 16 hours via an SDHC card, and add another 99 memory slots. -DigiTech added a bunch of extras that include Reverse playback, three different stop modes (Fade, Finish, Stop), tempo adjustments, and built-in metronome. -Dimensions: 6.84" x 6.70" x 2.89" -The DigiTech JamMan Stereo continues to be reasonably well regarded, even after many years of being available. Its sound quality gets most of the positive feedback, from guitarists who use the pedal to build, save and play their own backing tracks. The four footswitches also offer better control, compared to compact single footswitch loopers. -While many are pleased with its capabilities, there are some that find the JamMan Stereo lacking, especially when compared to what recently released loopers can do. -We recommend that you check out some of the newer alternatives before buying this one - you'll find our current recommended list in our guide to The Best Loop Pedals. -Help Florence restore her family’s fortune in Secret Diaries: Florence Ashford, a wonderful Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game!

In the first half of this year alone we have seen some major announcements from Google AdWords that have shaken up the world of ecommerce and paid advertising in 2016. -During the Google Performance Summit held earlier this year the search giant introduced new upgrades, features, designs and product types to its AdWords and Analytics platforms. We take a look at the four that caught our attention in relation to paid advertising. -High on Google’s list of things to do for 2017 is the redesign of its AdWords user interface. This is because many people find the current AdWords dashboard to be quite tricky when it comes to finding the data and insights you need. -The new interface is designed to bring the most important features together to allow a quick overview of the campaign. This will allow all parties to better communicate account insights and facts and redirect your attention to optimising elements that have the most impact. -Pay-per-Click helps you target your ads to customers in certain countries, regions or cities – or within a set distance from your business or shop. Your business gets found by people on Google precisely when they’re searching for the things that you offer. -In February this year Google announced that it was doing away with right side ads in a bid to bring uniformity to the Google experience across devices. With this came the introduction of expanded text ads. What this means for advertisers is that headlines are now much bigger as in two 30-character headlines bigger. This is a step up from the single headline with just 25 characters. -This has huge implications for advertisers. Google has already reported a 25% increase in click through rates for advertisers as a result of the change. The search giant also says that longer headlines will be more useful for advertisers by allowing for better qualified traffic. -For a Pay-Per-Click campaign that pops!

So, they keep questioning our unity,” he said. -“Neither Anna Hazare nor me claimed that we were going to unite our two campaigns. But we’ll keep coming together whenever needed just like we have planned for June 3,” he said. -Ramdev said there was no rift between him and Hazare, and that their “frequencies matched”. -He said just and equitable institutions needed to be put in place of corrupt institutions. For this, he would keep a fast along with Hazare at Jantar Mantar on June 3. -During the press meet, Ramdev also announced his itinerary for the thrid part of his Bharat Swabhiman Yatra. He said the journey would start May 1 and end June 3 with the fast at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. -“During the ‘yatra,’ people in power will try to malign me, which is expected. But when that happens, I request the media to also hear our side of the story so that the complete picture can come out in the public,” he said. -After a gap of six months portals of famous Himalayan shrine Kedarnath today reopened for pilgrims. The temple, situated in Rudraprayag district at a height of 3,584 meter, was reopened at 0715 hours in the morning according to ‘mahurat’, sources said. -The ‘mahurat’ was decided on Mahashivrati at Ukhimath area on February 20. The head priest of the temple, Rawal, performed the ‘Abhishek’ after openeing of the doors, sources said. Thousands of pilgrims flocked the temple after opening of the doors. -The Chardhams, comprising the shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri in Garhwal Himalayas reopen for pilgrims in April-May every year after remaining closed for nearly six months during winters as the area remain snow-bound during the period. The annual Chardham yatra is considered as a backbone of the thriving religious tourism in the state that attracts nearly 15-16 lakh pilgrims every year from home and abroad. -Delhi’s anti-corruption ombudsman Manmohan Sarin today advocated the need for social boycott of the corrupt and rued the “indifference” of the silent majority towards the menace. -“Unless people condemn, despise, and excommunicate the dishonest, the corrupt will continue to enjoy status and respect in society”, Sarin said speaking at the launch of ‘Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre Helpline’ by Transparency International India. -“The indifference of silent majority is the real cause of corruption. Till you are not personally affected by corruption, you look the other way”, he said. The Lokayukta lamented that complicated laws and lengthy judicial procedures help the corrupt to go scot free. -“Corrupt people go scot free due to long time of trial and I have no hesitation in saying that the truth is that people with money get away”, he said. “Laws are complicated and are not citizen friendly which gives an opportunity to authorities for corrupt practises”, he said. He asked the media to run a sustained campaign against corruption. “The media should not stop at just one report. -It has to be a sustained campaign against wrong. It is the duty of media”, he said. Advocating administrative and financial autonomy for Lokayukta office, he said that in states where the Chief Minister is not included under Lokayukta, the Lokayukta does not face any problem. “States where the Chief Minister does not come under Lokayukta Act, there is no problem faced by the Lokayukta”, he said. -He said that instilling moral and ethical values in people at young age can help in tackling corruption. “The fall in moral values in society is also to be blamed for rising corruption. -We should catch people young and give them moral and ethical values”, he said. The toll free helpline number of ‘Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre’ by Transparency International India will inform citizen about their legal rights, provide legal assistance and equip them to take action on cases of corruption that they have been victims of. -“A victim of corruption can call our helpline and take legal advice from our lawyer. After that if they need any assistance in drafting complaint and approaching the right department, our team will help them”, P S Bawa, Chairman Transparency International India said. Transparency International India is the accredited India chapter of the international civil society organisation based in Berlin. -Megastar Amitabh Bachchan today said that actress Rekha and cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar “deserved” to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha. -“In each session of Parliament, President nominates few set of people for Rajya Sabha from the fields of art, film etc. -It is an honorary position. Whoever nominated for this (Rajya Sabha) are deserving people (sic),” Big B told reporters at an event held for promotion of his soon-to-be-released film, ‘Department’. “I remember even (actress) Nargisji was nominated for Rajya Sabha,” he said. -However, the nomination of the maestro to the Upper House seems to have not gone down well with actor Sanjay Dutt. “It is an honour to be in Rajya Sabha. I am a die-hard fan of Sachin…he is a pride…jewel of India. But I am not happy that he is a Rajya Sabha member….he should have been the way he is,” Dutt said. -When asked if being a parliamentarian will be too demanding for Rekha and Sachin, Bachchan said, “It is their personal decision…leave it to them”. Meanwhile, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who was also present on the occasion, evaded direct reply on the issue, saying, “I have no idea about cricket and politics”. -ISRO has said the indigenously built Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT-1), launched on April 26, has been placed in its final Polar Sun-synchronous Orbit of 536 km height. -“PSLV-C19 had placed RISAT-1 in a polar orbit of 470 km X 480 km. As planned, on April 27-28, the satellite propulsion system was used in four orbital manoeuvres to raise the height of the orbit of RISAT-1 to 536 km,” ISRO said in a statement here. -The satellite is now in its final orbital configuration and in good health. In the coming days, various elements of the C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar will be tested and calibrated as a prelude to payload operations, it said. -“As compared to the optical remote sensing satellites that depend upon sunlight, the Synthetic Aperture Radar of RISAT-1 transmits its own radar pulses (at 5.35 GHz) to study the objects on Earth. This facilitates (i) cloud penetration and (ii) imaging even without sunlight. For RISAT-1, imaging sessions around both 6 AM and 6 PM have been chosen,” it said. -The 1,858 kg RISAT-1, whose images will facilitate agriculture and disaster management, was launched on board the PSLV-C19 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, around 90 km from Chennai. -The Amnesty International has appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take steps for immediate release of all protesters arrested in connection with the anti-Koodankulam Nuclear plant agitation and drop “false” charges against them. -Amnesty International members also referred to S.P.Udhayakumar, PMANE convenor’s charge that the Indian authorities had “failed” to respond satisfactorily to several site and safety concerns raised by an independent group of experts. -They expressed “dismay” that officials belonging to the Home Ministry searched Udhayakumar’s home and that police had “harassed” shop-keepers who were in solidarity with the protesters. -“The charges against the protesters constitute a deliberate attempt by the authorities to silence them despite the fact that the protests had been peaceful,” the letter to the Prime Minister said. -Amnesty International members who have signed the letter include senior functionary Peter Cattan of Switzerland. A copy of the letter was released to the press here today. -Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Saturday hinted at an impending hike in fuel prices saying that there is need for such an exercise to balance the effects of the spiralling oil import bill. -“With imports accounting for about 80 percent of our crude supplies, the spiralling prices of crude in the international market have put a severe strain on our import bill,” Singh said in a speech while inaugurating a refinery here. -“We also need to rationalize prices and at the same time ensure that the poor and needy are shielded from the effects of such a rationalization,” he said. -The prime minister’s comments came in the wake of demands by oil marketing companies (OMCs) which say they either be allowed to raise petrol prices or the government should compensate them for the underrecoveries. The OMCs say their inability to raise prices from Dec 16, 2011 to March 31, 2012 has resulted in total under-recovery of Rs.2,287 crore. -“The challenges we face on the energy front are formidable. We need adequate supplies of energy at affordable prices. Domestic sources of crude oil and gas are inadequate to meet the growing demands of our rapidly expanding economy,” he said. -India also needed to conserve energy and there was “no room for inefficient and wasteful usage of fuel”, said the prime minister. -The 60 Years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign will be celebrated in Britain with Rajasthani touch. -The 11-member Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band will perform in London June 2 and 3 rubbing shoulders with famous artists like Elton John in presence of heads of several states and world renowned personalities. -“The organising committee of these events examined our previous international performances over the past ten years and selected the Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band to perform at London,” the band’s group leader Amrit Hussain said. -“It is a very big event and we are unable to express our happiness in words. We expect to enthrall the audience and our aim is to give a taste of Indian music to the international audience with Indian and Rajasthani traditional music with a mix of Western instruments,” he added. -The band will use a mix of traditional Indian and Western instruments to perform popular Bollywood, jazz, pop and self-composed music, making it the first group from India to perform at such an event, Hussain claimed. -He said over the past nine years, the band has performed at about 600 concerts in 40 countries. It has participated in prestigious music festivals like Sziget (Hungary), Paleo (Switzerland), and Pori Jazz Fest (Finland). -Originating from Jaipur, the city of the maharajas, the band consists of seven to eight musicians, a female traditional Rajasthani dancer and a juggler or fire eater. They play a range of traditional brass instruments, including trumpets, trombones, tubas, clarinets, tabla, base drum and saxophones and perform traditional dances. -Amrit said that roots of the Indian brass band music go deep into the subcontinent’s colonial past. -“Introduced in the middle of the 18th century by the British, thousands of brass bands play at carnivals, national or religious festivals and local marriage celebrations across the country. In Rajasthan alone, there are over 2,000 brass bands performing regularly,” he added. -“We have tried to include in our team the best performers out of the 2,000-odd brass bands,” he added. -In a move to curb corruption in government offices, Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda has given his consent to an ordinance to set up special courts which will have the power to seize/attach properties of corrupt officials. -“Chief Minister Munda has given his approval to set up ‘Jharkhand special court ordinance 2012′. The ordinance has been sent to the governor for notification,” an official of the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) told IANS Saturday. -The special courts will issue notices within 30 days of the petition against the tainted officers. -To fight corruption in government offices, Jharkhand has already formulated the Right to Services Act and the Electronic Delivery Services Act. -India’s nominee, Justice Dalveer Bhandari, a sitting judge of the Supreme Court, has been elected to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the first time an Indian has managed to get this key international post in over two decades. -Bhandari secured 122 votes in the United Nations General Assembly against 58 for his Filipino rival, Syed Akbaruddin, the spokesperson of the external affairs, said here. -In simultaneous elections Friday at the UN headquarters in New York, Bhandari also secured an absolute majority in the Security Council. -In the election to the ICJ, a primary judicial organ of the United Nations, commonly referred to as the World Court, Bhandari was locked in a fierce contest with Justice Florentino P. Feliciano of the Philippines. -Bhadari takes the place of Awn Shawkat Al-Khasawneh of Jordan who resigned from the Asia-Pacific region seat at the end of 2011. -An eminent legal luminary, Bhandari will serve the remainder of the term 2012-18. India was last represented at the ICJ more than two decades ago. -The 64-year-old Justice Bhandari has variegated experience in international law and is well-versed with the working of the UN. Bhandari has been on India’s apex court since 2005 and has served in the higher Indian judiciary for over two decades. He will retire in September this year. He served as the chairperson of the Delhi Centre of the International Law Association for several years. -Bhandari is also a member of leading international academic and legal bodies and is closely associated with a large number of committees dealing with various aspects of international law such as: human rights, biotechnology, sustainable development, securities regulation, trade, nuclear weapons, non-proliferation and contemporary international law and space. -Acknowledging his outstanding contribution, the Northwestern University School of Law, Chicago, US while celebrating its 150 Years (1859-2009) selected Bhandari as one of its 16 most illustrious and distinguished alumni. -In New Delhi, the Supreme Court Thursday had refused to quash Bhandari’s nomination as a judge for the ICJ. -Established in June 1945 by the charter of the United Nations, in The Hague, Netherlands, ICJ’s role is to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by States and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorised United Nations organs and specialised agencies. -If you aren't already familiar with their dippy designs, let me introduce you to Liberated Heart; the psychedelic pioneers who have a variety of prints exclusive to their label. I've followed them since their beginnings and it's great to see them doing so well! Everything is created in Byron Bay (Australia) which is the home to many of my all time favourite clothing lines... I'm yet to visit, but I'll definitely be going one day. -This particular skirt is from their 'Icelandic Summer' collection, which personifies pastels and gorgeous muted tones. Unfortunately, it's not available on their site anymore, but there are plenty more prints to choose from; each one bolder than the last. As it's all shipped directly from Aus, you may end up sending a bit more on shipping fees to the UK, but I'd say it's totally worth it: a.) for the quality & b.) because who else is crazy enough to spend that much on shipping?! You can rest assured that you'll be the only psychedelic princess rocking these prints at the festival. -No other shoes could have done this skirt more justice, I absolutely adore these iridescent flatforms from Missguided. I'm already quite tall, but they elongate the leg in an extremely flattering way. Most importantly, they're still super comfy! I gave up on heels a looong time ago. I know it looks like I searched the interweb far and wide to find a matching hat for this look, but I promise you it was a complete coincidence! I randomly came across it when clearing out my old room which hasn't been inhabited for about 10 years... result! -This report shows the usage statistics of Format vs. Apostrophe vs. PencilBlue as content management system on the web.

In recent years, mass media and media convergence have produced within the realm of this phenomenon, a new interactive space in which publics are invited to participate and called upon as citizens. A significant corpus of academic research has studied these occasions through the themes of media rituals, celebrity diplomacy, global policy and “compassion fatigue”. This research uses the 2005 Live 8 campaign as a case study combining perspectives on media events, Jacques Ellul’s writings on propaganda and a rhetorical analysis in order to understand the techniques, which made Live 8 successful at mobilizing masses all around the world. The present study speaks to thought and action in relation to mobilization within a mediated environment for a global humanitarian crisis. Ultimately this research bridges the aspect of performance with citizenship and propaganda, into the question of whether contemporary media events, through their means of mobilization and civic participation, give way to a performance of citizenship. -This house replaced an old building that had suffered greatly over the years. It contains a number of highly efficient features in a relatively traditional package. Walls that are 12 inches thick with cellulose insulation produces a remarkably energy-efficient shell, for example. -The goal was to design a large house that still fit into the context of the “village “ community. The varied roofs provided volume, while keeping the style harmonious with the rest of the neighborhood. -We designed the kitchen to include a breakfast nook “bump out,” allowing for lots of light in both the kitchen and eating area. -Since the kitchen is the heart of the home, we expanded the space to include an informal sitting area and fireplace, as well as a connected screened-in porch. The open design creates specific areas that work together — and accentuates the kitchen as the center of social activity. -A traditional, formal living room is located at the front of the house. The bay windows here are echoed in the breakfast nook. -Located in the heart of Munjoy Hill, this house was renovated from top to bottom and esentially reframed from the inside. The interior was opened up and reconfigured. -The original staircase had a beautiful curving design that was common when the house was built. However, the original floorplan hid the stairway and buried it into a dark hallway. -The fence marks the line between the public and private parts of the yard. It is also where the house transitions from the original exterior design to a more mordern look. -The major challenge of this building was its long, narrow shape. We carefully considered the creative placement of travel paths between the front and back of the house. -This is the entrance to the master bedroom, located at the rear of the second floor. -This house was completely renovated and updated with all new systems throughout, while maintaining the original character of the house. The entry and kitchen were opened up and expanded. -The kitchen and the entry to the house were opened up and expanded. -The new kitchen is flooded with lots of natural light. -We reconfigured the kitchen to create two large openings that connect it to the living space in the middle of the house. The result is a more open feeling and more natural light. -The challenge was to take a very plain, boxy two-unit apartment building and transform it into something visually interesting, while working within very specific spatial confines. The introduction of a “tower” helped to break up the ordinary lines of the building, without breaking zoning laws. The tower also houses a beautiful spiral staircase, which dramatically changed the interior as well. -There was only one balcony in the original plan, but now each unit has its own private balcony. Subtle angles and clean lines add a modern twist to the entire building. -The rooftop deck is an addition that offers views of Munjoy HIll and Cousins Island — and another space to entertain and socialize. -Learn about working at Zenith Mining and Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. .

The wall is watched over by radars, artillery, and air force, and is protected by 160,000 armed soldiers. Another 920 km of walls have been built inside the occupied area. -Western Sahara is rich in mineral resources, including phosphate mineral rock which Australia imports contrary to international law. Western Sahara has one of the best fishing grounds in the world. Currently its off-shore oil resources are being explored. -Morocco invaded Western Sahara in 1975 when Spain abandoned its former colony. Mauritania seized part of the land, but soon made peace with the Polisario Front, the Saharawi people’s political organisation, which continued the fight against Morocco. -Many Saharawis fled the tanks and aerial bombardments of napalm and cluster bombs of the Moroccan invaders and set up refugee camps near Tindouf in south-west Algeria where more than 165,000 of them now live supported by the UN Food Program and other humanitarian aid. -Those who remained in their homeland have constantly faced arrest, imprisonment, death and “disappearance” at the hands of Moroccan occupying forces. Their escape is blocked by a 2,400km wall dividing Western Sahara into the coastal zone occupied by Morocco and the interior part held by the Polisario Front. -In 1975 the International Court of Justice held that Western Sahara was not terra nullius at the time of its colonisation by Spain and that neither Morocco nor Mauritania had sovereignty over it at that time. -The war between Morocco and the Polisario continued until an UN-African Union brokered a ceasefire in 1991. -The UN has arrangements in place for a referendum of self-determination of the Saharawi people but Morocco refused to allow the referendum to be held. -While life is scarcely viable in the harsh Hamada desert where the refugees live, as there are no means for self sufficiency, the Saharawis living in occupied Western Sahara suffer the terrible oppression already noted. -MINURSO was established to organise a referendum for self-determination of the Saharawi people in 1992 as part of peace process between Morocco and Polisario. -By 1996 the peace process was in stalemate. -In 1997, James Baker (George H. Bush’s Secretary of State) became a UN envoy and drew up a new plan for the referendum, the Framework agreement on the Status of Western Sahara. Morocco refused to co-operate. -In 2003 Baker made a new plan, known as Baker Plan II – Peace plan for self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. This was accepted by the UN and the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). Morocco still refuses to allow UN sponsored referendum to take place. -Since May 2005, there has been an increase in this oppression. Peaceful demonstrations have been brutally put down. Many Saharawis have been arrested and imprisoned. Some have been tortured and some have “disappeared”. Women and children have been assaulted in their own homes and their property stolen by Moroccan police and soldiers. Outsiders, including parliamentarians from the European Union, Spain and Norway have been refused entry to Western Sahara. So have human rights bodies from Norway and elsewhere. -The Saharawis have their own democratically elected government, the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), with men and women ministers and parliamentarians. Its officials run the camps. SADR is recognised as the legitimate government of Western Sahara by at least 80 countries, most recently by the Republic of South Africa and Kenya. It is a member of the African Union. -In May 2005 in preparation for the full recovery of all of the Western Sahara territory SADR announced the commencement of a licensing initiative to enable international oil and gas companies to participate in the exploration of its offshore territory. -This licensing initiative is open to all competent and qualified companies and has been arranged in accordance with the UN legal opinion regarding commercial activities in Western Sahara. -SADR believes that development of its significant natural resources will play an important part in developing a self-reliant, democratic and progressive nation in Western Sahara. -The present situation cannot continue. The oppression of the Saharawis in occupied Western Sahara must stop. The refugees in the camps must feel safe to return to their own country after the referendum to be ruled by a government that they elect directly. -The UN, the African Union, the European Union and nations individually must act to ensure that Morocco no longer precludes the referendum on self-determination for the Saharawi people from taking place. -The Saharawi people must be allowed to determine their own future through a free and fair UN sponsored referendum. -Alphitonia blossom Red Ashis derived from the Greek αλφιτον (alphiton), barley meal, and refers to the dry, mealy quality of the mesocarp in the fruits; excelsa is from the Latin excelsus, elevated, high. -The Red Ash grows in eucalypt forests, eucalypt and acacia savannas, gallery forests and rainforests of NSW from Mt Dromedary northwards along the coast through Queensland and the Northern Territory, into the northwest of Western Australia. It is also found in New Guinea and on some of the Pacific Islands. It is a small to medium tree, up to about 20 m tall, is a natural colonizer or pioneer in a huge range of conditions, and can sometimes regenerate from underground stems. It has a spreading, shade-producing habit where it is able to grow into a large tree, and has an overall greyish green appearance. -detail of blossom blossom, fruits formingThe trunk and larger branches have fissured grey bark, with smaller branches having smoother grey or white bark. Lichens are often found on older specimens. The entire, simple, alternate leaves are 5 – 14 cm in length and 2 – 5 cm in width, elliptic in shape, and are dark glossy green above and silvery with fine hairs underneath, making an attractive contrast on windy days. Venation is prominent and yellowish below, and sunken above. In the dry season, many of the leaves are shed, and the remaining leaves hang vertically to reduce water loss. The tree bears small greenish white 5-petalled flowers in late autumn and early winter, followed by globular dark fruit about 1.5 cm in diameter, with a raised ring around the middle. The powdery red flesh of the drupe covers 2 hard cells, each containing a single seed. Seeds can persist on the branches for several months. When young shoots are bruised, they give off a typical odour of sarsaparilla. The flowers are fragrant in the evening. -fruits ripe fruits When grown under cultivation, this is quite a quick-growing tree, and can have high visual appeal, especially as a street tree. Its tough timber is light brown to reddish in colour, and has been used in boat building and cabinet-making, particularly in Samoa, where the tree is known as toi. -mature fruits Aborigines used the crushed leaves and berries as a fish poison. For medical use, they crushed the leaves into a paste, mixed that with water and applied it as a head bath to reduce headaches and treat sore eyes. Infusions of the bark and root were rubbed on the body to reduce muscular ache, and gargled to cure toothache. The leaves contain saponin, and so when crushed can be lathered to produce a bush soap. In Borneo, the sap from under the bark is collected, and used to treat skin diseases by mixing it in the bath water. -LANSING — State Rep. Darrin Camilleri (D-Brownstown Township) has introduced a bill to help counteract the latest round of vehicle registration fee increases for Michigan’s senior citizens. The legislation would exempt those aged 65 or older from having to pay the increased fees as a result of the controversial road funding package that was passed in 2015. -As of Jan. 1, registration fees for passenger and commercial vehicles increased by 20 percent. Michigan would join Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina as states that offer vehicle registration discounts to senior citizens, while Alaska waives the fee for seniors altogether. Camilleri’s bill is a reintroduction of House Bill 5939 from the previous legislative session. Despite bipartisan support, the House majority declined to hold a committee hearing on the bill. -This entry was posted in Front Page News, Government on January 12, 2017 by Scott Bolthouse. -Standard dialogue tags are said and asked. The mind skips over them, so they are invisible. -"It is hotly debated whether you should ever use colorful or adverb tags," she muttered. "Some editors don't mind a few creative tags." -"Some may allow adverb tags," she said skeptically. "Adverb tags are generally frowned upon." -" Break this rule at your own peril," she said mischievously. -Your dialogue should look like one of these examples. Note the correct formatting. Commas, periods, and question marks should fall within the quotation marks. -A comma separates the dialogue from the standard tag. A period separates the dialogue from an action tag. -The same formatting for the standard tag applies to a creative tag or action tags. -Standard tag in the front: Sherlock said, "I see." -Standard tag in the middle: "I see," Sherlock said. "I have been misinformed." -Standard tag at the end: "I see," Sherlock said. (or) "I see," said Sherlock. -Action tag in the front: Sherlock cleared his throat. "I see." -Action tag in the middle: "I see." Sherlock cleared his throat. "I was misinformed." -Action tag at the end: "I see." Sherlock cleared his throat. -Action combined with a standard tag: Sherlock pointed to the clock and said, "I must be off." -For more tips on how to make your dialogue work for you, check out our previous posts. -Dialogue, just the way we talk? -This is a great topic, Diana, one that trips up a lot of writers. It reminds me of some manuscripts I've edited where a page is filled with short exchanges between two characters, and the writer identifies each bit of conversation with "he said" or "she said". Overuse of dialogue tags--whether standard or action--diminishes the power of a scene, while proper use enhances it. All writers need to remember that. -Great reminders that "said" and "asked" are invisible to the reader. The only other one I like to use (sparingly) is "whispered." -Good post. I don't like adverb tags, either. The content of your writing should tell you if your are acting mischievously or skeptically. You see these tags a lot in older books. -I don't mind the occasional adverb tag, as long as it's not over used. Great post. -On a long trip, I listened to a bestselling author's book, filled with adverb tags. Hearing them throughout was more than annoying. For that reason, I never use them. If you adhere to Elmore Leonard's rules, you'd never use them at all. I disagree. Adverbs have their place, just not as a dialogue tag. My rule is whatever works for the sentence is what I do. Bah humbug on the rules. -Adverb tags are most 'famous' as Tom Swifties. -These days, Harbour View Hospital is full of activity. But it wasn’t always that way. -In early 2016, Harbour View – a long-term care and rehabilitation facility in Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia – came to the realization that change was needed to enhance quality of care. -At that time, it was felt that staff were working in silos and that interprofessional collaboration between staff could be improved. -The facility’s diverse client population is served by an equally diverse multidisciplinary team that includes nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, recreation, social work, orthotics, hearing and speech, dietary, and others. -Based on the perceived need to address problems with internal communication, Harbour View used funds from an innovation nursing grant to work on improving inter-professional collaboration on its rehabilitation unit. -Part of the grant work included conducting a survey of all the clients in the rehab program. The survey asked clients what they felt could be improved at Harbour View. -The results were, in a word, surprising. -Resident Dennis Westin, centre, with niece Jen Boutilier and her partner Brittany Jones, enjoy some quality family time at Harbour View with their beloved pets. -“All along, our focus had been on what we thought was an inter-professional role issue, so we were expecting feedback on that,” says Angela Stairs, Director for Rehabilitation Services for the Nova Scotia Health Authority Eastern Zone. -However, the overwhelming message was that clients wanted their families and loved ones to be more involved in their care. -“The issue did end up being about communication – not between professions, but with clients and families,” Angela explains. Families wanted more information on the day-to-day routine and treatment plans for their loved ones, and recommended that they be given more notice when clients were to be discharged. Clients and families alike also wanted flexible visiting hours. -Armed with this information, one of Harbour View’s first tasks was to do a full walk-about of the facility to identify areas for improvement in client-centred care. “We discovered right away that we had some challenges,” says Lorna O’Grady, manager of resident care for Harbour View site. -The building has a single entrance that splits off into two hallways: one leads to the long term care side of the facility, and the other to rehabilitation/restorative care. No signs were posted on the long term care side indicating what the visiting hours were, whereas the rehab side had signs posted at the building entrance saying that visitors were allowed in the rehab unit between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. -In March 2016, CFHI launched a pan-Canadian family presence e-collaborative initiative. The e-collaborative built on the work of the Better Together campaign and was designed to encourage organizations to examine and modify their family visiting policies. -Harbour View began its participation in CFHI’s 11-month e-collaborative in May 2016, along with 11 other sites from across Canada. Particularly valuable, according to Angela, were the regularly scheduled affinity calls that provided opportunities for all the organizations in the e-collaborative to share best practices and talk about solutions to common challenges. -Almost right away, Harbour View began to make some changes. They designed a new client and family information booklet and implemented revised visiting guidelines to include 24/7 visiting hours for families and loved ones. Education sessions and focus groups were delivered by former clients to give staff, families and clients an opportunity to ask questions and suggest improvements. -Angela and Lorna admit that change is not always easy. There were some concerns expressed by clients, families and staff about issues such as privacy breaches and interruptions to treatment. “Some worried that the floodgates would open and that families would be there all night, all day, potentially compromising the delivery of care,” Angela explains. -However, almost immediately it became clear that having family members present was helpful for everyone. Staff are now reporting that having an extra pair of hands and eyes helps to provide consistency in care, and is especially valuable when it comes to transitioning care from facility to home. -Harbour View Hospital has seen lots of changes since implementing its 24/7 visiting hours. The recreation department, for example, has ensured that the facility is equipped with family-friendly activities such as a newly purchased a shuffleboard that is used daily by clients and their families. Family members are regularly attending care plan sessions and the facility is seeing many more visitors – of all ages – all day, every day. -Contact us by email, call or whatsapp, we'll be happy to assist you! -If you are enquiring about our wedding and event planning services please either use the enquiry form opposite, or email or telephone or whatsapp us on the numbers above.

He has published around 30 comic books and albums, mainly with Knockabout Comics (London), including Lady Chatterley's Lover, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Casanova's Last Stand, and Dante's Inferno. His latest book is Calculus Cat, a hilarious collection of stories about The Cat That Hates Television. He has been awarded UK Humorous Cartoonist of the Year and in 2000 he was chosen for inclusion in the exhibition "Les Maitres de la Bande Dessineee Europeenne" by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France and the CNBDI, Angouleme. -I'm the type of woman who will drive you crazy .

Role-playing is one of my favorite fantasies. -Mahatmaji started another spiritual movement known as the temple entry movement and he wanted to give this facility to everyone irrespective caste distinction. The temple worship is another kind of spiritual cultural movement for the benefit of the ordinary class of people. He himself installed the deity of Sri Radha Krishna at Noakhali when he was there and that is also very significant. The theistic temples all over India are actually the different centres as are the churches and mosques all over the world. -These sacred centres were meant for diffusing spiritual education and by this process of spiritual culture the disturbed mind could be trained up in concentration for higher duties which every human being must do. By such education in practice can help man in realizing the existence of God without whose sanction, according to Mahatma Gandhi, "not a blade of grass moves." -A part of this movement is the harijana movement. The harijana means the God's man or the godly man as distinguished from the satanic devils. How a man of satanic principles can be turned in to a God's man is enunciated in the Bhagavad-gita. The way of karma-yoga i.e. doing everything for God's sake should be the principles of life. -The activities of the general public may not be stopped but may diverted in the manner stated in the Bhagavad-gita. By doing so any one in the world can be turned into a God's man. Thus the harijana movement started by Mahatma Gandhi should not be taken absolutely for the benefit of the bhangis and ___ so to say but it should be utilized for all who have the mentality of the bhangis etc. -By all the above process Mahatma Gandhi wanted to establish a greater human society. His idea of a casteless society could only be given a shape under the guidance of the principles of Bhagavad-gita. There are men of different mentalities according to quality and work. There are different modes of nature. These natural modes work everywhere in the world and different propensities develop by the psychological modes of nature. -The caste system is nothing but a classification of men according to such modes of nature. It is not therefore bound up within the walls of India but this is current all over the world may be under different names. This scientific and natural division of men should be accepted and people should be given chance to become harijana with equal facilities for all. The Bhagavad-gita gives a clear idea of doing this work and the Gandhi Memorial Fund should be utilized mainly for this purpose. -Some days just feel dry. -and sand is the only scenery. -or grassy fields of green. -that come from a different source. -The source that leads me back to Him. -I say that You are my God. -Your presence is my promise. -against the onslaught of the enemy. -I cling; You hold securely. -All the peace I need. -Every Brunette Needs A Blonde Best Friend! And Every Blonde needs a Brunette Best Friend. Pair up with your bestie! -Should I stop seeing my councillor? -Hi Sam. I'm in a bit of a dilemma. So basically I'm going through a tough time , I'm especially worried about my Dad who suffers from a mental illness. I have my mum at home but I see a councillor at school and when I talk about things and my dad it makes me feel good to get it off my chest and tell someone how i feel. But the thing is she is a bit judgmental. She always focuses on how my Dad is feeling and not my feelings, and she talks about him, but she has never even met him so she doesn't really know much. Some of the things that she says make me feel like she is judging him and it makes me really uncomfortable. The school recommends that I go and see her regularly, and I do need someone to talk to but I don't think she is right for me. Do you have any advice? -It can be hard when we feel family members are being judged by anyone, especially someone who is meant to be helping us. Finding someone to talk to who can make us feel comfortable to share our issues with can really make a difference. -Counselling sessions are for you to talk about the things that concern you and should not focus on others. Your feelings are important and should be the main focus of each session. -Sometimes it can be hard to connect with a counsellor and this may be one of those times. It is okay to tell her how you feel and give her a chance to repair the relationship between you. Most counsellors will openly accept this feedback and try to make things work for you. -If you find you still cannot work with her then try talking to the school about how you feel. You have the right to get things off your chest and to feel heard. Not getting on well with this counsellor doesn’t mean you should stop counselling entirely. -One way that may make you feel comfortable is to talk to your doctor about counselling, as most surgeries have a counsellor for patients to use. Your doctor can refer you for talking therapy that is free on the NHS, although this will only be available if the doctor thinks it will help. -Often talking to people of the same age can help. The ChildLine message boards have posts from people who are experiencing similar things. You may even want to discuss your feelings with a ChildLine counsellor. -The classic series returns, with Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, Looking pretty great, developer Piranha Games’ is prepping the series to return in September 2019. -It’s been while. You might not realize it (I didn’t), but Mechwarrior 4 was released a ridiculously long time ago. Way back in the year 2000. Now, depending on your current age, you might not think that was all that long ago, but 18 years is… yeah, it’s a while. So it’s about time that fans got a followup. -Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is that game. In development for some time, the latest look at it was released recently at Mech_Con. As you can see from the video, it’s looking darn good. And fans should be pleased to learn that it’ll hold over many of the elements that have made the series so popular. -A multi-year campaign will be the star, taking place during the “Third and Fourth Succession Wars.” There you’ll get to not only pilot your mech, but also “build” and “manage” it on the fly. You’ll grab mercenary contracts for missions, which will then play out in either solo format, or with wingmen. Those don’t have to be single-player however, as co-op play is apparently a part of things as well. -So the game’s looking great, and sounds like it might please the fanbase too. Unfortunately, if you’re one of those fans, you’ll still have a while to wait for it. Mechwarior 5: Mercenaries isn’t scheduled to hit the PC till September 10th, 2019. -Composed by Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975). Op. 102.

When the grout is applied we will make sure that the joints are pointed correctly to help ant water to run off. When pointed correctly you should use a special grout cleaning sponge to remove any excess grout. -It has been reported to Tiling Guys in Trinidad, CA that more and more children are choosing to stay living at home way after the length of time that they previously would have moved out. It is believed that with the current economic climate as it is and the uncertainty of job security coupled with the fact that house prices are still extremely high more young adults are choosing the security of their parent's home over the responsibility of buying their own property. For many parents this is fine but as children grow up they take up more and more living space and require more privacy than in their younger years. So what is the answer to helping to keep harmony in the home? Perhaps you should install an en suite bathroom in your bedroom. -Now you can understand the work load that goes into tiling a bathroom floor or any other area for that matter, and if you have not done this before, do not proactive on your own home, call Tiling Guysin Trinidad, CA on 888-286-0922. -I want a website to be redesigned.

Vigorous growing and disease resistant, 'Moonglow' has big, deep green foliage that covers this wide, rounded plant, providing a superb backdrop to massive, creamy-white, fragrant flowers that emerge continually from June through the rest of the summer. This tree makes a large but beautiful specimen and also provides tons of shelter for nesting native birds along with an invaluable food source from the red berries contained in the big seed pods this plant produces. 'Moonglow' tolerates moist soils and will grow well in full sun or partial shade. -As we continue this series, beBATONROUGE chooses to share Raymond A. Jetson’s “What I’m Reading” interview. Jetson is the Chief Executive Catalyst of MetroMorphosis. In this role, he uses his extensive network and reservoir of social capital – as a former legislator, pastor and other executive roles in state agencies, to deploy resources to advance the strategies of the organization. Mr. Jetson is an experienced leader and an important “connector” for intersectional collaboration between community members, stakeholders and systems. -During the interview we discussed two of MetroMorphosis‘s initiatives, the Urban Congress for the African-American Male and the Urban Leadership Development Initiative. I’ve provided a description of both initiatives for context. Urban Congress is a coalition created to understand the challenges that impact the quality of life for Black boys and men and then leverage the communities to transform their lives, their families, and surrounding neighborhoods. The Urban Leadership Development Initiative a year-long program teaches select individuals how to identify opportunities, develop innovative solutions, and build coalitions designed to foster positive, long-term change. -First of all, if you don’t know your history, then you don’t know your future. -I see you chose two books, “The Biography of Maynard Jackson” by Robert Holmes and “The Practice of Adaptive Leadership” by Alexander Grashow and Ronald Heifetz. Can you tell me a bit about the Maynard Jackson book? -It’s about Maynard Jackson, the first African-American mayor of Atlanta, and he literally changed the trajectory of the city. He changed the economics of the city and African-American life in Atlanta. When faced with the airport building project that is now Hartsfield-Jackson airport, Jackson stood firm and insisted that there be equal distribution of the revenues associated with the project. Jackson insisted upon African-American business participation, along with African-American labor participation in every area of the world. Atlanta is now a city populated by African-Americans who have generational wealth, and that was in large part because of the leadership of Maynard Jackson. -How does this influence your life? -It helps me to understand that the right kind of leadership being practiced impacts others. You know, Maynard Jackson didn’t get rich off the airport, but he was a catalyst and made things happen. The book also helps me to understand that real leadership is about that which lives on after you. -That airport will forever be Hartsfield-Jackson. Even though there are some who will not have a clue who the “Jackson” is in that airport name, Maynard Jackson made a deposit in this Earth. There are young people, especially African-Americans, who will grow up in Atlanta and will inherit a generational wealth. They won’t understand how the lives of their families changed. And so for me, it’s about understanding the need for catalysts, and to sow into the lives of others. That’s the critical ingredient in leadership. -So it seems that this book and your other book, “The Practice of Adaptive Leadership”, overlap. -Yes, yes they do. This [“The Practice of Adaptive Leadership”] is kind of the theory, the textbook. Maynard Jackson, in my opinion, is what it looks like. So as I read Mr. Holmes’ biography of Maynard Jackson, I saw the principles of adaptive leadership being demonstrated in what Jackson was doing. In our work with Metromorphosis, we have the Urban Leadership Development Initiative—where we have a group of urban leaders, and we spend a lot of time talking about the theory and “The Practice of Adaptive Leadership” and “Maynard Jackson” is what it looks like. -Okay. So you apply these principles to the Urban Leadership Development Initiative, and even to the Urban Congress on African-American males? -I mean one of the goals of Urban Congress is to develop generational wealth and those things that are the result of catalytic actions. So these are just two pieces of literature that impact me in the same way, but with their very different reasons you do that. -How would you sell these books to others? -First of all, if you don’t know your history, then you don’t know your future. Maynard Jackson is somebody that every African-American, especially those who espouse to make their community better, should take the time to read. Because here is a man who was the first African-American mayor in a southern city. That was a time of change. -One of my favorite people in the world, Marshall Ganz from the Kennedy School at Harvard, says that real leadership is about moving people forward in the face of uncertainty. -Maynard Jackson stepped into a very uncertain time and was able to mobilize the city in spite of his opposition to deal with some real difficult challenges and “The Practice of Adaptive Leadership” is about mobilizing others to attack on tough challenges and still thrive. Atlanta is a thriving city today because of Maynard Jackson. -Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Narayana Kocherlakota will step down when his current term ends in February 2016. -The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis president said the U.S. central bank risked damaging its credibility. -The MInneapolis Fed reports the pace of consolitation is unchanged since reforms were put in place; critics say otherwise. -Minnesota farmers and the state’s economy could be impacted by a decline in formerly booming farmland prices. -Minnesota business service firms are slightly more optimistic about the next 12 months than they were last year, according to a report released Monday. -The metro’s net loan growth was 1.34 percent over the past year. -January 27 - Samuel and I were feeling a little sentimental about not seeing each other for four days, so we decided to do something fun together and bake cookies for him and Scott to eat while I’m gone. I told him what ingredients to add, but he made them almost completely by himself! Now if only I hadn’t burned half the cookies… My activity idea must have worked, though, because he later asked me if I would leave after his nap today instead of tomorrow morning. -January 26 - This coming weekend, I’m meeting a friend of mine in a mutually adjoining state for a fun weekend of scrapbooking and girl time! I’m horribly behind on my scrapbooking and am determined to make the most of this opportunity. 250+ pictures, 28 layouts, 60 pages, and countless pieces of paper later, I am ready. -January 25 – Samuel and I spent some time coloring trains this afternoon (his latest passion). -January 24 – I found Kaelynn today reading to her baby doll. -January 23 – We took the kids to a friend’s birthday party today. It was a cooking theme! The kids made little pizzas, fruit snowmen, and “dirt” (Oreos with gummy worms and Cool Whip). The family had made personalized aprons and hats for each of the kids! Samuel and Kaelynn had a blast! Hands down, the coolest kid’s birthday party I have attended. -I must have drooled over the idea of play silks for several years. I love the concept and the endless creative play possibilities that they offer. But the standard size silks (35″x35″) sell for $10-12/each, making a small set cost a small fortune. That didn’t even account for my dream of a bigger play silk collection that included multiple sizes. -1. Order play silks in the sizes you want. I chose a half dozen 35″x35″ silks this time, but I have plans to expand our collection someday with various sizes. I bought mine from Dharma Trading Company for $3.75/each. -2. Bring a pot of water to boiling. Add a cup of vinegar and remove from heat. Soak all the silks for about an hour before dying. -3. Put on a pair of plastic gloves. Mix 3 cups of hot water, 1/2 c vinegar, and 2-3 packets of Kool-Aid (see the note at the bottom of post for a Kool-Aid color guide). Immerse a silk in the colored water and stir slightly until fully immersed. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 3 minutes. Remove and stir again. Cover and microwave for 3 more minutes. Repeat the cycle a third time. -4. Remove silk from the bowl and rinse with soap and water until the water runs clear. -Keep dyed, wet silks separate until they are dry. They can bleed onto each other (voice of experience speaking). -5. Dry on low in the dryer. Iron. -Red – Strawberry, Cherry, or Black Cherry (Note: I wanted more of a salmon/dark pink color, so I just used two packages of Strawberry. A combination of Cherry and Black Cherry will get you the truest red. -January 22 – Eating blueberries. -Did Early Christians Have the Bible? -7 New Testament Valentines for your Sweetie! -Mormons in ConTEXT: What Happens in Mormon Temples? -Please ensure you upload the highest quality logo file, we also request they are submitted in any of the following formats jpeg/png/eps files, preferably images that are vectorised.

It's basically a savory pancake made with seafood, pork, cabbage and other vegetables, cooked on a flat grill and dressed with mayonnaise and tangy sauce. The "okonomi" part of the name means "what you like," and customers can choose their own favorite ingredients to add to their pancakes. Many shops have customers cook their own okonomiyaki at the table. -This is a dish with very distinct regional variations. In Osaka-style okonomiyaki, all the component ingredients are mixed together in a bowl of batter, then spread out on the grill for cooking. The Hiroshima version is more complicated and takes longer to prepare, as the chef (not the customer) assembles distinct layers of toppings, vegetables, noodles, fried egg and pancake base into the final product. -Finally, there's a version called monjayaki, which is similar to Osaka style but with a thinner, runnier batter. Monjayaki is generally found only in the Tokyo area, particularly in the Tokyo Bay neighborhood of Tsukishima, which is home to dozens of monjayaki restaurants clustered together in one small zone. -If you're in a cook-it-yourself shop, once you've decided on your main ingredient (e.g. pork, shrimp or squid) and your optional fillings, the waiter will turn on the grill at your table, brush on some oil, and deliver a bowl with the batter and ingredients. Mix these together and pour the mixture onto the grill (once it's hot enough), then use a spatula to turn over your pancake when it's ready. -Note that this might take a bit longer than you would expect; ask your waiter for advice if you're not sure, or watch what other diners are doing. If there's an option for the waiter or chef to cook your okonomiyaki, you might want to take them up on their offer unless you're feeling adventurous. -If you're in a Hiroshima-style shop, the ordering process is a bit different - in addition to choosing ingredients like shrimp and squid, you'll generally have an option of either "soba" noodles (actually thin ramen-style wheat noodles) or thicker udon noodles. There may also be an option for no noodles at all. The chef will prepare your pancake and serve it on the grill in front of you. Cut the pancake into bite-size rectangles, and add extra sauce, mayonnaise and other condiments to taste as you eat. -The metal grill in an okonomiyaki restaurant is called a teppan, and menus will feature other foods prepared on the teppan grill, such as yakisoba (stir-fried ramen-style noodles with vegetables and sauce) and grilled seafood, vegetables and meat. Many shops have one large teppan grill with a counter surrounding it (a good place to watch the chefs in action), while others have separate grills at each table. -Often okonomiyaki restaurants will also prepare items individually on the teppanyaki grill. -Please turn (up/down) the flame. -Please turn off the burner. -Do you think this is done yet? -At Winters & Yonker, P.A., we work quickly to protect our clients.

French, who is black, attended the all-black half of the high school until the two merged during her years there. But when she graduated in 1968 with the highest grade-point average in the school, it was determined that she hadn't attended for all four years--since some of them were spent in the segregated side of Foreman, across town. A white girl in her class gave the valedictory address instead. -Over the years, French has returned to Foreman -- a town of about 1,100 just a few miles from where Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas come together -- and each time, she has felt disappointment when walking past a display honoring the school's valedictorians. French, now 60, shared her story with her colleagues at Fall Creek Valley Middle School, a Northeastside school where she has taught special education for 20 years. "We heard that story, and our jaws hit the floor," Kathy Luessow, principal at Fall Creek Valley Middle School, said Wednesday. "We asked how that could happen, and she said that was a different time." -We know this is only the beginning of a long journey. We understand as we go to college, we still will be confronted with obstacles that will certainly deter us. But remember, all things are possible if we believe....Let's travel. Let's start our own businesses. Let's become teachers. Let's become lawyers, doctors or whatever we desire. We should commend ourselves that we can be whatever we want to be. -You can read the valedictory speech she wrote, in full, here. Yes, the words read poignantly today, in light of the story--her "all things are possible if we believe" theme turned out to be true. But more than that, this is an excellent valediction, with simple but stirring language, a hopeful view of the future, a focus on students and teachers, and fitting, rather than overdone, rhetorical flourishes. -If someone knows of video out there of this late-in-coming valediction, please leave a link to it in the comments. I'm so delighted to share this wonderful story with you, and welcome your reactions. Please do pass this on to a friend or colleague and share this inspiring tale. -How would you rate the employment opportunities in Five Points? Excellent. High paying jobs are easy to find. Good.

She's the Children's Church leader and she spends a lot of time volunteering at her kids school helping out the teachers. Three years ago, she was diagnosed with heart disease and now she's living with an ICD/pacemaker inside. When not busy with kids, she is writing on her blog Try This! -Lisa is an active member of our community and most recently worked on the L'Oreal Magic Cream campaign. -We wanted to learn more about her so sat down to find our more, and here is what we discovered. -My niche is…Parenting, Kids products. -I write when…..My kids are in school. Summer is usually slow for me on the blog. -How has blogging changed my life: It gives me something to do. It helps me to feel like I am helping other families by sharing what works and what doesn’t so they waste their money. I am a quiet person so this also gives me an outlet to reach a lot of people without actually talking in a large group. -A brand I have loved working with: I love working with Boogie Wipes. It is a great product that was invented by a mom. -When did I start blogging: 2010, and when I look back at my first post I laugh at how far I have come with content and posting. -How I see the future of blogging/social media: I think it is going to continue growing. Everyone wants to be heard and blogging is a great way to share. -Where I work: I do most my blogging sitting on the couch watching TV. -I am connected….A lot, though, I try to do anything technology based while the kids are in school so that when they are home my focus is on them. They are little for only so long and I don’t want their memory of their childhood with mom on the computer. -When I’m stressed, I…..Walk and pray. -My favorite gadget is….My camera. I love taking my camera everywhere, you never know when the moment will come that you want to take a picture. -My favorite travel destination is….That’s tough. Living in Florida I love the beach scene but would love to see the mountains when its snowing. -I do all my shopping….Target! I love Target! -My favorite movie: All time favorite is Annie, (the original version) but Couples Retreat is a hilarious movie! -I dream about….The future. I want my kids to have a great future. -What else I do: I am a children’s church leader and I love teaching the children about God. -2014 Czech Ringette Challenge Cup was held in Prague, Czech Republic on 25th - 27th July for the 12th time.

Let's see what makes Scala and Kotlin great, frustrating, and how they compare to Java. -Since the arrival and maturity of Kotlin, JVM-based languages face quite a challenge, most particularly Scala. You must have heard a lot about Kotlin by now, especially the perks and treats it brings to the Java table. But then there is Scala, a powerful and concise Java alternative. Scala vs Kotlin? Which one is better? Or maybe it's Kotlin vs. Java or Java vs. Scala? -Scala and Kotlin aim to better Java in their own different ways. -To those of you planning to shift from Java to either Kotlin or Scala (can't imagine it the other way around), I am going to paint a "what's what" scenario so you can decide better for yourself. -Let's look at Kotlin first. -Kotlin was developed by JetBrains and reached the market in Feb. 2012 as an open source language. Up until now, Kotlin has had two released versions, with Kotlin 1.2 being the most stable version, released Nov. 28, 2017. -The language grew in popularity on Android because of its perfect compatibility with Java 6, which is mainly the present version of Java on Android. Not just that, Kotlin offers some features that are only in Java 8, and are thus not available to Android developers on Java 6. -In the closet full of 'All that is good about Kotlin,' the two most prominent qualities of Kotlin entail seamless and flawless interoperability with Java. You can call Java code from Kotlin and vice versa without any hiccups or frowns, not to mention the in-built null safety feature. Not seeing a NullPointerException is every Android programmer’s dream. -Android app development is completely transformed into a blissful, non-NPE experience. If you want some detail as to how the null safety works, check it out here. -That is also one of the 'why's' for Google adopting Kotlin on Android as an officially supported language. -Apart from that, take a look at some of the strengths Kotlin has to offer. -Any Java competitor has to be an FP language. Kotlin lacks a little on the higher-kinded types and type safety, but nonetheless, it offers all the features of an OOP style language with an FP approach. -This is my favorite part. Java is great, but the boilerplate code it makes you write is just frustrating and error-prone. Coding in Kotlin is very short, concise, and to the point. Get the job done with fewer lines of code than in Java. The less you have to write, the less often you make errors and expose yourself to bugs. Everyone knows that, right? -One way Kotlin reduces the amount of code is by limiting the use of findViewById. -Kotlin allows views to be accessed from the layout XML, just like you would properties. Instead of using findViewById every time, all you have to do is follow this example. -Although Kotlin is a younger language than Scala, it has the support of two great companies: the formidable Google and the amazing JetBrains, who are responsible for many other IDEs, including the IntelliJ IDE for Android. So there is no doubt about great tooling support there. To all the people who thought of Kotlin as some trend, you could not be more wrong. -Kotlin is already on Android and it is definitely here to stay, grow, and evolve. -But with strength comes some weakness as well. -Pattern matching is not strong in Kotlin. It doesn’t fully support it. -...that would be a no. But it's no frowner. You can still do a pretty fine pattern matching job by intelligently using the when clause. But we all know that intelligence takes a little more effort and skills than your average Joe. -If your applications are already long, then the extra runtime size of 800KB could be a problem for you. You might experience a dwindling number of downloads because of the bigger size of an application. -Nothing is ever all good. With the concise approach Kotlin offers, there is a little problem. With so much going on in so little code, it becomes a little hard to read and understand at first. It might even feel overwhelming to a beginner. -Although Google has joined hands with JetBrains to offer support for Kotlin, it is pivotal to know that Google does not endorse it. Even when you use Kotlin in Android, the autocorrect occurs slower than it does for Java. -As I already mentioned, Kotlin is younger than Scala and, needless to say, Java. -Since Kotlin is younger than Scala, it has fewer libraries, blog posts, and tutorials. -The online support community is quite small. The lack of blog posts, tutorials, and user documentation might become a problem for you, but as trends suggest, this might be filled up soon as more and more people and companies are adopting Kotlin. -Before you make up your mind, let's hop over to Scala. -Scala surfaced to the general public in the year 2004. Developed by Martin Odersky, Scala was released on the Java platform as a general-purpose programming language. The name Scala is not some whimsical notion, it is an abbreviation of "scalable": a language that is scalable according to the needs of its users. -Being released in 2004 sure gave Scala the advantage of maturing more over time and taking the spotlight from Kotlin. -Scala has some common features with Kotlin like conciseness of code, higher-order functions, FP functionality with an OOP style, and interoperability with Java (though not as good as Kotlin). Other than that, here is what Scala is about. -Pattern matching in Scala is no joke. Scala uses the match statement for this purpose, which is a powerful version of Java's switch statement. It allows you to match on any type of data, lists, and even your own types. If you haven't already tried it, I suggest you play around with it a little. -Scala is a little complex, but it has a very flexible code syntax. The proficient use of functional programming features makes the code extensible and hierarchical to the very best level. -Scala has been here for more than a decade. Since it is a powerful Java alternative, it has huge support community. We're talking about YouTube tutorials, blog posts, forums, and let's not forget the official support and user documentation. Anything you find yourself struggling with, you can pretty much find the answer to it. -Scala does not restrict you from overloading operators. You can play with operator-looking functions and define limitlessly. But you need to be careful with this feature. Still, if you can do this right, your code readability will increase. If not, you might end up making your code difficult to understand. -Everything is about speed in the world of coding. A slow program is a big turn-off. When it comes to industry-grade projects, Scala's compile time turns into minutes as compared to Kotlin, which tries to compile as fast as Java, which is in seconds. -Scala is not binary compatible with a few versions. Let's say you compiled with Scala 2.1. The same will not compile with Scala 2.11. -That could be nothing, or it could be your biggest nightmare if you have to work across different versions and update them. Especially if you have production-scale projects. -Scala attempts a good take on managing null safety, but it's just not as effective. The Scala equivalent for null safety is the Option keyword. Using this, there is a considerable chance you might get an NPE at the back door. -Scala and Kotlin are in quite a tug of war. Scala has the edge over Kotlin in some ways, but Kotlin is just as formidable in others. The main differences — where the two languages set themselves apart — is that Kotlin is more like a better version of Java, while Scala is an entirely different kind of Java, so to speak. -While Scala has a bit of a learning curve, it offers unparalleled support for advanced functional programming. Kotlin, on the other hand, is super easy to learn and fun to code in. -But does that mean something is wrong with Java? I mean why change from Java in the first place? -Java is old. Really old. Like, great-grandpa old. And while popular, its popularity actually works against it. Java use is everywhere, which makes it impossible for teams using Java to change their fundamentals, even knowing that Java is facing a lot of technical criticism as well. -No matter the greatness, Java has too much redundancy and lengthy boilerplate code. Kotlin and Scala just happen to be better at what Java was intended for. -Choosing the language primarily depends on the use you need it for. Scala is a good fit for projects with a need for a mix of functional and OOP style programming languages. For places where you need to handle large amounts of data or complex modeling reliant on mathematics, Scala would be best. -However, if you just wanted Java to be less frustrating — but still be Java — then there is nothing better than Kotlin out there. Using Kotlin for Android app development will be the best thing that ever happened to you. Kotlin is like a Java cousin with better looks and who doesn’t talk gibberish. So choose wisely and may the code-Force be with you. -The P220 Legion is an enhanced version of the gun that started it all for modern day SIG. Finished in a proprietary Legion gray coating and featuring custom G-10 grips with a Legion medallion, the P220 Legion is improved in nearly every way. The stainless-steel slide sports SIG SAUER Electro-Optics X-RAY high visibility day/night sights as well as front cocking serrations that provide greater purchase for cycling the action, clearing the firearm or conducting press checks.The P220 in DA/SA includes a reduced and contoured Elite beavertail, which allows for a higher grip and a reduced profile, thus eliminating printing. More aggressive front strap checkering and additional checkering under the trigger guard enhance the grip. An X-Five undercut has been applied to the trigger guard, allowing for a higher grip and greater control. The P220 Legion also features low-profile decocking and slide-catch levers to reduce the risk of snagging. An enhanced polished action with the SRT (Short-Reset Trigger) is augmented with a Grayguns, Inc. P-SAIT trigger. In addition, a solid steel guide rod adds weight where it matters most. The P220 Legion ships with three 8-round magazines. -This bicycle sprocket hub and sprockets from the Wright Bicycle Co. are on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

Besides the normal Qurʾānic duʿās for conception, what other actions could we do? Psychologically, it is becoming really difficult for us as people who have married after us have children. How can this be averted? -A statement by its Director of Communications, Rev Fr Moses Lorapuu, said that the attacks were perpetrated by herdsmen who stormed the Mbalom community, killed parishioners during the morning mass at the church. -Presently the church is in search of some of their prominent businessmen and missionaries who are the major sponsors of activities in the church, allegedly on the death roll of the invading herdsmen. -We gathered that Victor Nwankwo, Silvester Okowa and three others were suspected to be targeted at, during the early morning bloodbath by Fulani herdsmen. These men according to reports are the major benefactors of the Catholic Church development in Benue state. They herdsmen allegedly claim that Victor Nwankwo and his four colleagues was amongst the missionaries that converted hundreds of Muslims to Christians. -According to investigations, Victor Nwankwo and his fellow missionaries are yet to be found as they have become a search agenda in the list of Africa’s most dreaded insurgent group. -The Diocese expressed regret at the nonchalant attitude of the security agencies in containing the killings. It said the herdsmen, who stormed the community, burnt down houses, destroyed crops and killed people. The church, therefore, urged the relevant authorities to stop the killings in the Benue valley. -Rev.Lorapuu said the Diocese had been active in providing food and relief materials to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP’s) since the onset of hostilities in the state and wondered why it could be marked as a target of attacks. “The attack on the priests is an attack on everything that we ever stood for and believed in,” says Lorapuu. Meanwhile, concerted efforts to get reaction from the Benue Police Command failed as its Public Relations Officer, ASP Moses Yamu, was not forthcoming with remarks. Rev. Fr. Gor had before the attack written on Facebook; “Living in fear. The fulani herdsmen are still around us in Mbalom. They refuse to go. They still go grazing around us. No weapons to defend ourselves”. Herdsmen in the early hours of the morning attacked a Catholic Church and parishioners who went for 5.30 a.m. mass. Reports say the bodies of the dead have been taken to St. Theresa’s Hospital Makurdi. -There's so much to recommend your current amour: kindness, generosity of spirit, integrity, honesty. You may have been hearing from loved ones that you really made a catch this time: Here is someone who can go the distance with you. Here is someone who deserves your love. -So why do you find yourself restive and bored? It feels as though the very qualities that first attracted you to your mate are turning you off, pushing you away. You see arrogance where you once saw confidence, hardheadedness where you once saw drive. Pity your poor lover: It's you who has changed and is demanding something your lover can't give. You gotta figure out your priorities. Where do you want to be in ten years? What are the steps you have to take in order to get there? And where does your mate fit into the picture? If there's no future between you, do the kind thing and cut your lover loose. But if there is, let your lover in on your dreams and ambitions. You could build so much together if you're just willing to work a little harder. -9 Oct Neil asks KZN if slow dancing is a thing of the past? -Is slow dancing a thing of the past?

It is in the Water and Weather book by Tom DeRosa and Carolyn Reeves. -A fun activity to teach students more about how footprints, casts, and molds formed during the Great Flood. -Smooth out about ½ to ¾ cup of playdough in a large paper plate. Use a roller or PVC pipe to roll over the clay until it covers the bottom of the plate. Now turn the clay over so the smooth side is up. -Recruit a volunteer with a fairly small foot. Rub the student’s foot with petroleum jelly. The student should carefully press his foot into the clay as if walking, and then clean the petroleum jelly and clay off his foot. -Take some more clay (about ½ to ¾ cup) and roll it into a tube or “snake” that is about an inch in diameter and long enough to go around the clay in the paper plate. Place the tube around the edge of the clay and press it into the bottom piece of clay to make a seal. Squeeze and flatten the tube to make a wall around the footprint impression to make a bowl that can hold the liquid plaster. -Now measure out 2 cups of Plaster of Paris into a disposable container. Measure 1 cup of water, and pour it slowly into the plaster, stirring and mixing continually. If the mixture is still dry, add more water a little at a time until it is like pudding. When mixed well, pour about half the plaster over the impression in the clay. Lift your plate with two hands a few cm high and let it plop down on the table. Do this a few more times. This will spread the plaster and bring air bubbles up to the surface. -Allow the plaster to harden. It should harden in an hour or more. After it has hardened, carefully remove the plaster from the clay and observe the impression of the footprint. Look at the clay as well as the plaster. -1. Describe the impression in the clay. -2. Describe how the bottom of the Plaster of Paris looks. -While your plaster is still wet, put some of it in a small meat tray. Rub the leaf with petroleum jelly. Quickly, but gently, place a leaf on top of the plaster and cover with plastic wrap. Use a block to gently press the leaf into the plaster. (Do not push down to bottom of the tray.) After it has thoroughly hardened, remove the leaf. Compare the leaf to the leaf mold. -Not all fossils are remains of once-living plants and animals. Trace fossils are fossils where nothing is left except a footprint or an impression of where the organisms had been. The impression of the footprint in the clay represents this kind of fossil. -Some fossils have been made by something like a stem with flowers, or leaves, or maybe a shell that left their impression in wet sediment. If something is pressed into wet sediment and becomes a fossil, the impression left behind is called a mold. If part of the actual organism gets trapped in the sediment or a new layer of sediment fills in the mold and hardens, that is known as the cast. -The vast majority of fossils are organisms without a backbone that once lived in an ocean. These include trilobites, crinoids, ammonites, and corals. Within this group, the most commonly found fossils are casts and molds of animals with hard shells, such as clams and brachiopods. -You might think that a few footprints wouldn’t leave much information, but it actually tells paleontologists a lot more than you would think--things like the kind of animal that made the print, how heavy it was, if it was limping, or if it was running or walking. -The animal’s weight can be estimated by comparing the depth of the footprint made with other footprints. The more the animal weighs the deeper the print. A lighter-weight animal will make a more shallow print. The distance between footprints is another important clue as to how large the animal was. Large animals take bigger steps than smaller animals. -Paleontologists can often make a positive identification of an animal based just on the footprint. Sometimes a footprint cannot be positively identified, but can still be put into a category of the type of animal. Dinosaurs, for example, might be classified as theropods (certain dinosaurs that stand on 2 feet) or sauropods (large dinosaurs that stand on 4 feet). -Footprints are only preserved under special conditions that occur before the prints can be eroded or washed away. Because these conditions must occur quickly after the prints have been made, it’s surprising that actually billions of footprints have been preserved in rocks. -Grand Canyon were laid down rapidly as a result of a catastrophic worldwide flood. -water, but often preferred to walk across the bottom of a tank of water in sand. -have been produced underwater rather than in desert conditions. -This is a part of a lesson about on how fossil footprints and other molds and casts can form. These kinds of fossils are very common, but they only form in rocks under rare conditions. The conditions that were present during and after the Genesis Flood would have been just right for forming fossils. Unless the prints were quickly covered up by new layers of sediment, they would have been washed away or eroded. The Flood would have provided many other ideal conditions for forming fossils. -I spent St. Patrick’s Day in Ft. Worth with the Ft. Worth WordPress Users Group.

Layton sang “Too Darn Hot” extremely well, especially as he was doing a complex dance routine at the same time.

The researchers also found significant differences in patient populations at public and private hospitals in terms of age, race and socioeconomic status. -"This study demonstrates that in a contemporary U.S. health-care system, intervals among suspicion, diagnosis and treatment vary widely and are predominately associated with system variables such as insurance and hospital type," said study author Dr. David E. Gerber. "An organized and timely approach to subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic measures may benefit these individuals and reduce this health-care disparity." -The study appears in the November issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology. -Many thermography training courses are provided by manufacturers who are intent on promoting and selling their equipment to class participants.

Ethical controversies regarding end of life technologies have been a part of our culture for many years, yet continue with the advent of genetic therapies, genetic modification, and their associated pragmatic as well as ethical concerns. In addition to end of life issues we are now increasingly faced with ethical concerns associated with the beginning of life. Advances in assisted reproduction, once seen as futuristic, are becoming increasingly commonplace. From surrogacy to frozen embryos, social workers dealing with family planning issues need to be familiar with the challenges and opportunities associated with assisted reproduction in order to assist their clients in making reasoned, ethically grounded decisions.

Why choose shutters? Shutters bring style & sophistication to any window & are equally at home in both traditional & modern interiors. They last longer than curtains, as fabrics begin to break down as soon as they are exposed to sunlight, require periodic washing & harbour dust mites. Shutters offer a level of light control unmatched by any blind, as the louvres within each panel can be independently adjusted to temper the degree of light entering the room. If the sun is in your eye, you can simply close the louvres on one panel & let the light flood into the room though the others. On dark days, the panels can be folded back to expose the window & maximise the light. -2. Why choose Made for Shade? We're the Midlands' longest established, most trusted shutter company & have been fitting shutters since 1999, so we know shutters inside out. Experience has taught us that clients generally want three things - the best product, at the best price, with the best service. (John Ruskin famously said that this combination was not achievable & that one of the three had to give - We prove otherwise!). Additionally, for your added peace of mind, we're full members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen (membership number A121256) - your guarantee of a top-quality product & installation. -3. How does the quality of your shutters compare to that of your competitors? Our shutters are manufactured by the world-leader in shutter production, utilising a combination of state of the art manufacturing & hand-crafted finishing touches. The wood used for our hardwood shutters is stored for six months before kiln drying to allow the wood to settle before being treated. UNLIKE the majority of shutter manufacturers our wood is kiln dried twice in a computer controlled drying facility. The wood is specifically dried to take into account the climate of the country to which the shutters will be exported. This is very important as these shutters are manufactured for installation in climates as varied as Alaska & Australia. By utilising these methods, frame warping is greatly reduced. UNLIKE many other manufacturers we engineer our stiles (the vertical, side bars of the shutter panels), rather than producing these as solid profiles. We cut the wood into strips which are then bonded back together in opposing layers for greater strength. This has the effect of breaking the capillaries that run through the wood, through which moisture travels. This, together with the strength of the bonding agent, ensures our panels are unlikely to warp & will give customers years of enjoyment. UNLIKE many other manufacturers we use mortise & tenon joints between the cross rails and the side stiles. These are far stronger than dowel joints & minimise movement between profiles. Movement can result in cracking of the paint or stain finish, which will spoil the aesthetic appearance of the shutters. Again, just in case there is some movement, we engineer the panels with an additional grooved overlap that ensures any movement is handled by this expansion joint. UNLIKE many other manufacturers, we use a high quality, proprietary paint system developed specifically for our shutters. Cheaper shutters use cheaper paints & stains and have fewer coats. We apply six coats of paint or stain, the final layer of which is a clear lacquer with a UV additive to ensure that the shutters are less susceptible to fading and yellowing. UNLIKE other manufacturers we don't compromise on the thickness of our louvres as we believe thinner louvres, although less costly to produce, are much more susceptible to warping. UNLIKE other manufacturers, we use the best quality, marine-grade stainless steel staples to attach our tilt rods to our shutters. In addition, the tips of the staples are coated in a bonding agent to make sure they remain secure for years to come. UNLIKE many other manufacturers, we supply our shutters with a large choice of frames rather than attaching them to battens. Not only does this give you the choice of framing your window by selecting a frame design to co-ordinate with your decor, but it also offers a practical solution for awkward windows (inward opening, etc). UNLIKE many other manufacturers, we assemble our shutters prior to shipping to ensure that all the components fit together perfectly. Once photographed, the shutters are disassembled & packed into custom made packaging to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. When shipping by airfreight, we double pack the shutters for additional security. All this means we are able to provide a three-year warranty on all shutters built within our published specifications. There are inferior quality shutters available on the market, but why would you pay more to get less? -4. Which areas do you cover? We're based in Sutton Coldfield & cover the West Midlands, East Midlands, Staffordshire, Warwickshire & Herefordshire regions. We also cover the 'M1 corridor' (the area between the M1 & the M40 between London & Birmingham). -5. Do you actually make the shutters? Like 99% of UK shutter companies, the answer is 'no'. Made for Shade is the Midlands agent for our manufacturer S:Craft (based near Winchester), who are the shutter market leaders in terms of quality, choice & product innovation. Our expertise is in designing, surveying, specifying & installing shutters, not making them. This enables us to offer a far greater choice of materials, colours, louvre widths & framing options & guarantees clients a constant timeframe from ordering to installation. That said, we have joinery workshop facilities for customising special shutters & have been regular visitors to the factory where the shutters are manufactured. This means we can talk in detail about the production process & answer any questions you may have. -6. Who will measure & fit my shutters? Made for Shade is a family business & as such, we don't employ sales people or believe in pressure selling. We operate a he / she who surveys also fits policy whenever possible, to maintain continuity throughout the order process. Acurate dimensions will be taken at the time of the design consultation to save disturbing you further. Our aim is to make the process of buying shutters a pleasure from start to finish & our testimonials certainly bare this out as you may have already seen. -7. How long do I have to wait? Standard delivery time is between six & eight weeks. Special shapes take an additional two weeks, as CAD drawings need to be created & signed off before manufacture can commence. Custom coloured shutters also take an additional two weeks. However, if you need your shutters fitted sooner, we also offer an express service, which reduces the waiting time to between three & four weeks, but naturally costs a little more. -8. How long do they take to fit? This really depends upon the size & quantity of the shutters & what they're being fitted to (wooden window frames are quicker to fit to than plastered reveals), however most jobs are completed within half a day. Naturally, we can give you an accurate time frame before you place your order. -9. How are they fitted? All Made for Shade shutters are fitted using a three-sided or four-sided perimeter frame, from which the panels are then hinged. Frames can be fitted inside the recess, outside the recess or around the front edge of the recess, depending on how & where you want your panels to fold when open. Needless to say, there are different frame profiles for every eventuality. (The latter option is perfect for uneven recesses, as the run-out is hidden behind the frame moulding). Whichever framing option you choose, all screw-heads will be either hidden with insert strips or cap covers & in the case of stained finishes, screws will be fitted using brass or silver mounting cups. For wider installations such as patio doors & room dividers, tracking systems are used as they give constant support to the panels as they move. All panels are fitted within their frames using hinges with removable pins, which are perfect when it comes to decorating, as the panels can be simply removed & re-fitted in a matter of minutes. -10. How & when do I pay? Payment is made in two parts, 50% when the order is placed & the remaining 50% on completion of installation. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, debit card or credit card (all major cards accepted). -11. What are shutters made from? Made for Shade offer seven different shutter materials. The most economical option is Craftwood, which is a Polymer coated MDF product available in the six best selling white / cream shades & comes in a choice of four louvre widths. It's perfect for small to average sized installations & looked just like a wooden, painted shutter when fitted. We then have a variety of real timbers including Larchwood, Basswood & Cedarwood, each of which have their own unique grain patterns & characteristics. Using lighter weight timbers allows us to hinge more panels together to achieve greater widths with a single, conventional bi-folding shutter. Real timbers can have painted or stained finishes, but our Western Red Cedarwood can also be oiled to give it a beautifully natural finish, which brings out the individually different grain structure in each profile to give a truly rustic charm. -12. How much light do they cut out? There are no technical figures to quote here but we estimate that a shutter will cut out 90 - 95% of incoming light. Whilst there are no gaps to let in direct light, there will always be light glow around the edges of the panels, between the louvres & between the louvre edges where they meet the stile uprights. If actual blackout is required for bedrooms, we have the perfect solution whereby a cellular pleated blackout blind is built into the shutter frame & positioned behind the panels. The blind is raised / lowered by a simple cord mechanism & cannot be seen through the panels. The blinds are available in several, equally effective colours, the most popular being white. -13. Can they be fitted to any window? It's a rare day when we come across a window to which we can't fit shutters, but "never say never" as the saying goes. We need to ensure that the shutter will not inhibit the opening operation of the window & that we have suitably substantial fixing points to bare the weight, but this is all taken care of during the survey. -14. What if my window is out of square? This is usually no problem as most windows vary in width & height across the window. If you want your shutters fitted inside the recess, the tolerance gap between the outside edge of the shutter frame & the recess itself, will usually be filled with decorating caulk as this can be painted to match the walls or window frame when dry. It takes approximately half an hour to caulk an average sizes shutter to a high standard, but makes all the difference in the world to the final result. If the window it drastically out of square, we would fill the gaps by scribing insert strips (finished in the same colour as the shutters) to the desired shape & then caulking around them as described earlier. Alternatively, we have framing options which can either be surface mounted outside the recess or fitted to the front edge of the recess with a lip feature that disguises / hides the recess variance. It's simply a case of using the right frame for the right job, which is where our expertise comes into play. -15. What about shaped windows? No problem. We design & fit round shutters, arched shutters & angled shutters in various materials with either painted or stained finishes. The great thing about shaped shutters is that unlike blinds or curtains, they maintain the true shape of the window rather than "squaring it off" & the panels will still hinge open to give access to the window. -16. What about high-level windows? If shutters are fitted to an out-of-reach window, the tilting of the louvers can be done by remote control (both battery & solar powered units are available). Alternatively, if the shutter is simply to dress the window, the louvers can be simply set in the desired position & left. -17. How do I clean them? The easiest way is with either a feather duster or using a vacuum upholstery brush (the one with the bristles on). Marks can be removed using a damp cloth with, if necessary, a suitable soap solution. -18. What if they get damaged? We offer a full repair service whereby, for example, damaged louvers can simply be removed & replaced with new ones. -19. Does fitting make a mess? This depends on what we're fitting to as drilling into plaster / brick creates dust which drilling into wood doesn't. Whatever the case, we will always dust sheet the fitting area first & clean up thoroughly when we've finished. Installers also wear slippers in carpeted rooms. We are always mindful that we are in your home. We therefore treat your home as we would our own, with respect. -20. What's the most popular colour? About 75% of our orders are for a white painted finished & there are good reasons for this. (1) White reflects light in a way no other colour will. This means light within the room is maximised as it reflects off the louvres (tip ~ using the medium 64mm or larger 89mm wide louvres also creates more light as the gaps between each louvre increase with louvre size & larger louvre surfaces reflect more light. Food for thought if you have a North facing room with a big tree outside!) (2) White never dates & always looks fresh. (3) White offers endless colour possibilities when it's time to decorate, as white will work with any colour. (4) White will always be relevant as there will always be something else white in the room (window frames, doors, radiators, coving, ceilings, etc). (5) Shutters are an investment in your home & will appeal to prospective, aspirational home buyers if you decide to move on. Buyers can always visualise working their design schemes around white shutters, as it gives them an open book decoratively speaking in addition to the wow factor. -21. Are they guaranteed? Absolutely! All Made for Shade shutters are guarantee for a minimum of 3 years. This includes all aspect of the shutters (colour fastness & joinery) as well as the installation itself. -22. Are they suitable for bathrooms & swimming pool areas? This really depends on the level of moisture within the air. In a large, well-ventilated bathroom with no shower, a conventional painted or stain finished shutter will be fine. However, in high moisture rooms such as shower rooms, wet-rooms & swimming pools, we have a purpose made waterproof product called Permawood, which an ABS coated hardwood. Permawood shutters are fitted with marine-grade stainless steel hinges to resist moisture & prevent rusting. -23. How do I measure? To obtain an initial estimate, firstly decide whether you want your shutters to be fitted inside of outside the recess. Remember if they're fitted inside the recess, the panels will only fold back as far as the recess returns will allow (usually 90 degrees). If they're fitted outside the recess, the panels will fold back onto the walls (provided there is sufficient space for them to do so of course). For inside recess shutters, measure the width & drop in 3 places & tell us the largest dimension in each case. For outside recess shutters, take the same measurements & add 150mm to the recess width to allow for the overlap. If your window has a sill, add 75mm to the recess height or 150mm if it doesn't have a sill, to allow for the overlap. If you're looking to buy Café Style shutters (to cover the lower part of the window only), take the width dimension in the same way, but then measure from the sill up to where you'd like the top of the shutters to be. For inside recess shutters or outside recess shutters where the window has a sill, that's the height you need to give. For outside recess, Café Style shutters where the window has no sill, add 75mm to the recorded height. Naturally, we will take accurate dimensions at the point of survey but following this procedure will ensure there are no nasty surprises price-wise! -24. What are "Solid" shutters? These are simply shutters, which have solid panels rather than louvred panels. They were originally fitted into period homes, folding back into purpose made side-recesses when the owners were in residence. When the owners were overseas, the shutters were closed for privacy & security as part of the "closing up" of the house. These days, we tend to only install solid shutters when either a greater degree of darkness is required or when replacing original solid shutters in period properties. Naturally, the amount of light entering the room can't be adjusted in the way it can with louvred shutters. -25. Can I measure & fit my own shutters? Yes. We can measure & fit your shutters for you, we can measure but you can fit or you can measure & fit yourself. It really comes down to the complexity of the particular job & the surface to which the shutters will be fixed. If you're self-measuring, we suggest you e-mail a photograph of the window prior to finalising your order so we can try to spot any potential problems & help you overcome them. -26. Do operate a 'price promise' pledge? Whilst our aim is to provide shutters at the most competitive price & we constantly monitor the market to check price levels, there may be times when, due to a limited or special promotion, a competitor's price is lower. In such an eventuality, we guarantee to price match any like-for-like, written quotation. -If you have a question other than those above, please either call us on 0121-352-0747 or e-mail it to us via our contact page & we'll answer your question by return. -Reasons why You Ought To Compare Online Fax Services No matter the type of product or services you are in need of, it is usually important to make a comparison before you buy any.

For example, Francl notes that two semesters of calculus is usually required for physical chemistry (1), and this is certainly true for quantum theory. The traditional approach emphases the use of mathematical equations, derivations and calculations. How do we deal with non-chemistry majors who have a weak background in mathematics, but wish to study p-chem? Similarly, how do we deal with chemistry majors who have a weak background in mathematics? -Interestingly, the last 20-30 years has witnessed a paradigm shift in the practice of quantum chemistry. Leading up to the 1970s, quantum chemistry was monopolized by theoretical chemists, who were as much mathematicians as chemists. One had to be conversant with the mathematical methodology in order to perform a quantum calculation. More recently, the amazing increases in computing power have lead to graphical user interfaces, which has enabled a new group ofcomputational chemists. These computational chemists are interested only in the significance of the computed results, not in the details of the mathematical methods used. However, the same paradigm shift in the teaching of quantum chemistry has not occurred yet: students are still required to be competent mathematicians. -The "new calculus" in mathematics education (eg, 2) advocates the "rule of four" (numerical, graphical, symbolic and verbal descriptions) to deepen students' conceptual understanding (eg, 3). This "new calculus" acknowledges that a predominantly symbolic approach to mathematics is suitable for some, but not all, students. The greater emphasis on graphical and verbal descriptions of a "problem" enables students to focus on the qualitative results. The numerical approach can refer either to approximate numerical solutions (cf modern computational chemistry software) or to specific numerical examples of more general symbolic equations. -This paper describes the use of spreadsheets to generate approximate numerical solutions and visual (graphical) descriptions as a method of avoiding or minimizing symbolic manipulations, mathematical derivations and numerical computation. The aim here is to teach the qualitative results that arise from quantum theory, but with less "math". The specific example of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation and some aspects of the educational pedagogy of spreadsheet usage are discussed. -Electrons (and atoms?) exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior. -Students are usually first introduced to quantum theory through the wavefunctions for the 1-dimensional Schrödinger equation. Exact solutions are derived for the particle-in-a-box (the Kuhn model (4)) and the simple harmonic oscillator model. The shapes of the potentials for these models are shown in Figure 1. -Figure 1. Potential functions for the particle-in-a-box model (left) and the simple harmonic oscillator model (right). -where Hn(x) is the Hermite polynomial of order n. The novice learner sees the differences between Equation 1 and Equation 2 and concludes that every potential is treated as a special case! -Potentials such has the triangular and stepped-valley models, shown in Figure 2, have no closed-form (ie analytic) wavefunction solutions. Similarly, the quantized energies cannot be given by any analytic equation. Here, the novice learner concludes incorrectly either that quantum mechanics does not apply, or that many systems are not quantized! -Figure 2. Simple piecewise-continuous potential functions for which the wavefunction does not have any closed form: a triangular potential (left) and a stepped-valley potential (right). -In p-chem classes at Deakin University, the derivative is explained as the "slope of a function". The 2nd order differential Schrödinger equation for an electron-in-a-box (the Kuhn model (4)) is explained as "finding the slope of a slope". The 1st order Euler method for generating numerical solutions is explained. No calculus is required as the Euler method can be derived from the definition of average slope. More-able students can construct an appropriate spreadsheet (to find numerical solutions to the Schrödinger equation), but mostly, spreadsheet quantum_well.xls, implementing the Schrödinger equation, is provided as a "black box" to weaker students. (The pros and cons of black box methods are discussed below.) Using the spreadsheet quantum_well.xls, students test how the shape of a trial "wavefunction" changes as the energy is varied (Figure 3). A copy of the instructions to students for this exercise can be found at. The wavefunction solutions are classed as "valid" or "invalid" depending on whether the boundary conditions are satisfied as energy is varied (the shooting method (6)). -Figure 3. Approximate trial wavefunctions for the triangular potential (Figure 2), arranged from high energy (top) to low energy (bottom). Shaded domains are the forbidden region: V(x) < E. -Students discover that energy determines the wavelength of the wavefunction, and that valid solutions require that only special ("allowed") wavelengths will fit the dimension of the potential (Figure 3). It is observed that, as wavelength decreases, the number of nodes (the zeroes or roots of the wavefunction) increases with energy. An extension of this exercise using a skipping rope easily verifies that it is more difficult (higher energy) to swing the rope with nodes present than without any nodes (lower energy). Since the sign of the wavefunction changes across a node, the qualitative shape of the wavefunction can be generated from the nodal pattern. (One strategy in de Bono's Lateral Thinking (7) is to concentrate on what is not present - ie the nodes or zeroes - in order to obtain what should be present - the wavefunction.) Wavefunctions can then be generated from nodal patterns in 2-dimensions and 3-dimensions. -For example, the molecular orbitals for cyclopentadienyl have, in increasing order of energy, no nodes, one node and two nodes respectively (Figure 4). Similarly, the rotational wavefunctions can be generated by considering nodal patterns on the surface of a sphere. Much of Schrödinger's original work was based on Hamilton's mathematical description of standing waves on a planet completely covered by ocean (ie water waves on a spherical surface). Note that these "spherical waves" correspond to combinations of the spherical harmonic functions, and can be obtained from the symmetry - "topology" - of the nodal patterns on the surface of a sphere. -Figure 4. molecular orbitals for cyclopentadienyl. Shading of the circles in the centre panels represent the sign (direction) of the pz orbitals. The pzorbitals change sign across nodal planes, which are shown as blue lines. -On further exploration with the spreadsheet quantum_well.xls, students discover that the shapes of the allowed one-dimensional wavefunctions are similar (Figure 5), even for different potential models: ie, the lowest-energy wavefunctions all have one "bump", with no nodes. -Figure 5. Lowest-energy approximate wavefunctions for the particle-in-a-box (top panel), simple harmonic oscillator (2nd panel), triangular (3rd panel) and stepped-valley (bottom panel) potentials of Figure 1 andFigure 2. Shaded domains are the forbidden region: V(x) < E. -the use of a series of square wells separated by barriers (extended Kronig-Penney model) illustrates that interactions between wells split energy levels. As the number of wells increases, the (single-well) energy splits into a quasi-continuous band of energies, giving rise to the band theory for conductors and semi-conductors. -Although there has been a substantial history in the use of spreadsheet and graphical applications in education (eg 9,10), the author believes that full utilization of the technology, especially in chemical education, has not been realized. -The aim of this paper is to teach the qualitative results that arise from applying mathematics to physical and chemical systems, but without the mathematical rigor: "teaching maths with minimal maths". The "new calculus" advocates the "rule of four" (numerical, graphical, symbolic and verbal descriptions) to deepen students' conceptual understanding (2). Students who have a weak background in mathematics do not have the knowledge of calculus required for the usual symbolic algebra approach to physical chemistry. This case study illustrates how a combination of numerical, graphical and verbal descriptions can be used to overcome the lack of symbolic knowledge or ability. -The Logical-Mathematical intelligence is only one of multiple "intelligences" (11). By changing the emphasis away from mathematical calculus, the numerical-experimental activity, can also cater to those students who favor Spatial or Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligences. A combination of this spreadsheet approach with the traditional calculus-based approach will enable more students (and students of more types of "intelligences") to study quantum theory. -This paper has focused on the use of spreadsheets but, in principle, the simulations can be done using symbolic mathematical packages such as Mathematica, Maple or MathCAD. This would only be feasible for students who already have a strong mathematical background. This author prefers the use of spreadsheets for weaker students for the following reasons. The symbolic mathematical packages depend on the use of a symbolic, quasi-programming language, which can present an additional learning obstacle for many students (12). Furthermore, the access to symbolic mathematical packages is usually more limited than that of spreadsheets, which are widely available in home, business and community settings. The "worldware" (13,14) (also called "application-software" (15)) nature of spreadsheets means that students will have greater opportunities to use and become familiar with spreadsheets than with (eg) symbolic mathematical packages, leading to greater utility and expertise: Software that isn't designed for instruction can still be good for learning (13). (A "straw poll" of physical chemistry faculty suggests that significantly more faculty use spreadsheets in teaching and learning activities than symbolic mathematical packages (16). -While weaker students will use the spreadsheets, discussed in this paper, as "black boxes", more able students can construct similar, appropriate spreadsheets (eg17-19). Instructors will need to be careful in deciding to use the "black box" approach or to require students construct their own. If successfully completed, the latter approach will promote deeper learning (19), but the greater complexity of the task (12) may mean that some students cannot complete the task, resulting in frustration and lack of learning. -The key feature of using spreadsheets is that students do "numerical experiments". (There is an interesting discussion of the use of numerical experiments in (20-22). Numerical experiments (eg 23) were also a key part of the development of chaos theory (20).) By playing with "what-if" scenarios, students can test the validity of their concepts and ideas: the success of using spreadsheets in this way is supported by cognitive constructivist models of learning (15,24,25). The use of spreadsheets is intended to give students a qualitative appreciation of quantum theory, and does not serve as a pre-requisite to more advanced studies in quantum theory, for which a reasonable knowledge of mathematics is required. -This paper is an expanded version of case studies to be published by LTSN Maths, Stats & OR Network and by LTSN Physical Sciences . -KFL thanks Ms Jeanne Lee ( ) (Australian Catholic University) for encouraging and helpful discussions, Dr Paul Yates (Keele University, UK) for suggestions to improve the spreadsheet quantum_well.xls, and Associate Professor (Emeritus) Ian Johnston (Uniserve·Science, University of Sydney, Australia) for a seminar on MUPPET (the Maryland University Project in Physics and Educational Technology) which introduced KFL to the possibilities of numerical experiments in teaching and learning. -All URLs checked on 7 March 2003. -Francl, M., Survival Guide for Physical Chemistry; Physics Curriculum and Instruction: Lakeville (MN), 2001. -Preparing for a New Calculus; Solow, A.

And it takes our mantra eat, see, and do, to a whole new level. The tastes - melt-in-your-mouth baguettes and rich French wines. The smells - Parisian perfumeries and subways. The sights - panoramic views from the Eiffel Tower and Arc du Triomphe, shimmering stained glass at Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle, some of the best street fashion in the world. And countless things to do - burlesque shows at the Moulin Rouge, Seine river cruises, Parisian plages, Luxembourg Gardens, shopping the Champs d'Elysees, getting lost in the Louvre. In a lifetime you couldn't begin to scratch the surface of all this city has to offer. And that's why we love it. -1. HEAR THE FOUNTAINS AT VERSAILLES. Yes, hear. You might think of Versailles as a feast for the eyes, but from April to October the fountains of Versailles come alive to the sound of classical music. We'll wander through the palace with throngs of fellow tourists, feed the ducks at the Hameau de la Reine, and ride a bike built for two around the gardens to enjoy the musical show. We'll have a lot of ground to cover - the gardens alone measure 8 square kilometers! -2. PAY OUR RESPECTS AT PÉRE LACHAISE CEMETERY. Pére Lachaise is Paris' biggest cemetery, and an art history student's dream. It's the final resting place of Chopin, Parisian architect Baron Haussmann, playwright Molière, Victor Hugo, musician Jim Morrison, Marcel Proust, Delacroix, the poet Guilliame Apollinaire, Oscar Wilde, Modigliani, and Gertrude Stein, to name a few. It's also home to many heartbreakingly beautiful sepulchres, funerary monuments, sculptures, and mausolea. Affectionately called la cité des morts (city of the dead) by locals, this cemetery feels anything but. And we can't wait to show it to you. -3. PLAY AT DISNEYLAND PARIS. Conjure up an image of Paris and it may not include amusement park rides and Mickey Mouse. But we believe that even big kids need to play once in awhile. When we Go with Oh to Paris we'll experience the magic of Disneyland - Jess' first time to a Disney theme park. Spinning tea cups, costumed characters, Space Mountain, and Fantasyland. We'll see the world through a child's eyes, if only for a day. It's a small world, after all. -4. DINE IN THE DARK. Although French food can arguably be appreciated with the eyes as much as the mouth, in Paris we'll opt for a quirky culinary experience and go dining in the dark. At other eat-in-the-dark restaurants diners and staff are given night goggles, but not here. Restaurant Dans Le Noir is the real deal. Diners and wait staff rely on their sense of smell and touch to navigate the restaurant and identify what's on their plate. We think it will make for a clumsy, messy, and fun evening. Imagine the before and after shots! -5. SEE A WORKING GUILLOTINE. Formerly working, of course. In a tiny bar in Paris' Latin Quarter a bit of Parisian history is being preserved. La Caveau des Oubliettes (roughly translated as Cave of the Forgotten) is located in a genuine 12th century prison that held prisoners awaiting the guillotine. Serving up drinks in a simultaneously chilling and warm atmosphere, only at La Caveau can you sit next to a live jazz and blues band and a 1792 working guillotine at the same time. We'll drink up (pun intended) a little piece of Paris' history, and chat up some locals about what to see when we inevitably return to the city. Because Paris - this big, beautiful, sensory delight of a city - has a way of always drawing visitors back. -Help us Go with Oh to Paris!

The most common type, called plaque psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris), is characterized by slightly elevated reddish patches or papules (solid elevations) covered with silvery white scales. In most cases, the lesions tend to be symmetrically distributed on the elbows and knees, scalp, chest, and buttocks. The lesions may remain small and solitary or coalesce into large plaques that often form geometrical patterns with a central area of normal skin. In many cases the nails become thickened, irregularly laminated, and brittle. In addition to plaque psoriasis, there are four other types of psoriasis, including guttate, pustular, inverse (or flexular), and erythrodermic. -Psoriasis is an immune-mediated (or autoimmune) disorder that occurs when immune cells known as T lymphocytes, or T cells, attack healthy skin cells in both the nonvascular horny outer layer of the skin and its deeper vascular layer. This attack causes the life span of the skin cells to shorten to about 3 to 5 days (skin cells normally live about 20 to 28 days) and forces the cells to reproduce more rapidly than normal. Psoriasis occurs in both sexes with equal frequency, being most prevalent between the ages of 10 and 30. It is most often seen in northern climates. An estimated 2 to 3 percent of the U.S. population is affected by psoriasis. In contrast, between 0.05 and 0.3 percent of Asians experience the condition. In European countries the incidence of psoriasis is highly variable, affecting anywhere from less than 1 percent to more than 6 percent of populations. -The onset of psoriasis is usually gradual but occasionally explosive. Precipitating factors may include injury to the skin, acute infection, and psychological upsets. Ordinarily, the lesions become less severe and sometimes disappear during the summer, possibly owing to the effect of sunlight. The severe complications of psoriasis are extensive sloughing of the outer layer of the skin, with resulting inflammation, and psoriatic arthritis. Generally, however, individuals with psoriasis are in relatively good health. The variability in the progression and severity of the disorder has led researchers to suspect that the underlying causes of psoriasis are the result of complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. -There is no permanent cure for psoriasis, but there are a variety of treatments aimed at relieving the associated skin symptoms. Topical treatments for psoriasis come in different forms (e.g., creams and gels) and generally provide relief from inflammation and scaling. Some, such as retinoids (derivatives of vitamin A) and synthetic forms of vitamin D, work by slowing skin cell reproduction, whereas others, such as corticosteroids, coal-tar ointment, and salicylic acid, work by reducing inflammation. Psoriasis can also be treated with phototherapy, in which the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light. While phototherapy can be highly effective, it does have side effects, including pain, irregular pigmentation, and scarring. In addition, long-term treatments are associated with an increased risk of skin cancer. -Oral medications are available to treat psoriasis but are often used as a last resort, because the drugs that are most effective in treating psoriasis suppress the immune system, making patients susceptible to a multitude of infections and illnesses that can be life-threatening. Oral drugs that are used to reduce inflammation include methotrexate, cyclosporine, and azathioprine. Oral drugs called biologics (because they are made from human or animal proteins) modulate the immune system by attacking immune cells that are working improperly. Several biologics have been approved for psoriasis, including infliximab (Remicade), etanercept (Enbrel), and guselkumab (Tremfya). -A dramatical simplification of man's relation with the world uncovers a functional dichotomy: human condition founds the economy, while human nature determines the politics. -The pre-moderns had hoped to save themselves from living the duality by relegating the economy to the empire of necessity and assigning politics to the empire of liberty. They would approximate the disjunctions with the specific ingenuity of beings destined to evolve beyond good and bad, within the framework of the world allowed this side of Olympus. In the end it was about escaping the context, a sort of excusable inconsequence on the basis of the ideal of happiness, in the pursuit of which anything could be useful, even the reductions of sense. Private and public life, be it under different rules of order, were, in the end, for the ancients the faces of the same coin of human existence. -[Robert Mibus] took on a project which his kids could present to Mom on Mother’s Day. It’s an LED heart built into a ring or necklace box. The series of white LEDs are animated in a chase pattern. The project let [Robert] push his comfort boundaries by moving past a stock Arduino board. -Inside you’ll find an ATtiny85. He picked up the chip to try running Arduino sketches on smaller hardware. But the total of five available I/O pins presented an issue with driving the LEDs. Ten LEDs are used here and even a standard multiplex display would need no less than seven to control them without additional chips or the need for Charlieplexing. His solution was to drive two opposite LEDs at once, which cuts the need down to his five available pins. -Once he got it all soldered together he realized that he had made a coding error. But a few soldered wires let him reflash it in place using ISP. -SculptTrace | RealityVirtually Hackathon 2019 @ MIT Media Lab - Duration: 2 minutes, 1 second. -Spaced Out - a short movie by NASA/Caltech JPL interns - Duration: 4 minutes, 48 seconds. -Tinkering Around MakeMIT | Augmented Reality Fun - Duration: 2 minutes. -Wall-Z Robot | Capable of VR and ASL | 2018 NVIDIA Jetson Developer Challenge - Duration: 5 minutes. -Biped robot walk testing phase (in progress 12/2017) - Duration: 2 minutes, 5 seconds. -What is Mines Robotics up to in 2017? - Duration: 2 minutes, 17 seconds. -LinkedIn Intern Hackathon 2017 Winning Moment: Team Why Not - Duration: 15 seconds. -Mines Robotics Recognized for Best Robot at 2017 CO Space Grant Robotics Challenge - Duration: 3 minutes, 36 seconds. -Mines Robotics WON FIRST PLACE at 2017 ASME Robot Pentathlon - Student Design Competition - Duration: 6 minutes, 7 seconds. -Dr. Strange Portal and Shield Spell Using Adobe After Effects - Duration: 11 seconds. -Mines E-Days 2017 Intro - Duration: 3 minutes. -Physics Things - Short Horror Movie at CSM - Inspired by Stranger Things Intro - Duration: 4 minutes, 59 seconds. -We are CSM Robotics - Promo Video - Welcome and Thank You (Intro Inspired by Game of Thrones) - Duration: 2 minutes, 59 seconds. -Mirror Trick (Ghost) Adobe After Effects Tutorial in 4 minutes - Duration: 3 minutes, 54 seconds. -Blasterbotica 2016 NASA Robotic Mining Competition Rule 32 Document Video - Duration: 3 minutes, 55 seconds. -Jack Frost and Elsa Frozen - All I Want For Christmas Is You - Duration: 2 minutes, 50 seconds. -Nightcore - Once Upon A Dream (Lana Del Rey - Male Version) - Duration: 6 minutes, 43 seconds. -Greenhouse Scholars Cheers during 2015 Summer Symposium - Duration: 101 seconds. -Fix Windows 10 Upgrade Errors: Check Your PC Failed Update and Error 80240020 - Duration: 115 seconds. -The Intern Wizards - Duration: 84 seconds. -dragon boat e-days 2015 - Duration: 25 seconds. -With Valentine’s Day over I hope you all had a nice day with your loved ones. It’s hard to believe that the month of February is already coming to a close in a week. In my monthly market update I will be pulling numbers for the Menifee’s real estate market. As always my stats are based on single family, detaches residences, with 3+ bedrooms and 2+ baths. -Getting into the numbers for the month of February, I can see right away that we have gone down in the number of active listings. In January we had a total of 64 and now in February we are down to 48 a 25% decrease in inventory. The Price in which these homes are being listed has risen this month to $325,929 from January’s price of $295,498. With the supply of homes still so low it’s continuing to make it difficult for people to purchase a home in the Menifee area as well as other surrounding communities in the valley. -Now taking a look at what is selling in Menifee, we haven’t seen as many homes close escrow in January. We have dropped off 17 homes last month in comparison to December’s numbers. The average price in which they are actually selling for has remained within $1000. The amount of time they are remaining on the market is maintaining its average. -With the debt relief act continuing until December 31, 2013 many homeowners are taking advantage of the benefits by doing a short sale instead of going through the foreclosure process.

My high school and college years were spent in Watertown, Wisconsin, at Northwestern Preparatory School and Northwestern College. I received my Master of Divinity from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in 1989. -I accepted a call to serve as pastor at St. Marcus on July 1, 2016. My pastoral ministry began in Salem, Oregon in 1989. In 1993 I began pastoring a church in Marietta, Ohio. From 1998 to 2016 I served as Professor of New Testament and Pastoral Theology at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon. -I have not found anything more rewarding than placing the gospel of Jesus Christ on the hearts of people. For that reason, I really love preaching and teaching the Word of God. A special thrill has been seeing "lights go on" in the eyes of people who have never considered the gospel seriously before. And the relationships that develop from serving as a group of Christians' spiritual shepherd are incredibly enriching. I love everything about being a pastor! -Leah and I were married on May 31, 1986 -- so that makes 30 years! The Lord blessed us with three daughters. Erin is 29 and married to Rev. Kyle Burmeister, lives in Summerville, SC, and has our only grandchild (at the moment), Maggie. Lauren is 26, married to Nathan Gartner, lives in Appleton, and is soon to deliver our second grandchild, a boy. Allison is 24, married to Martin Johnston, and lives in Thiensville. -Watching or playing sports. I'm a Milwaukee boy and have maintained an avid following of the Wisconsin sports teams. I love to play racquetball and have come to appreciate working out as something important for my physical and mental health. And whatever time Leah and I can have with our three married daughters and their families is special time indeed. -Any place where a house (preferably with a pool) can be rented with our family, and breweries and distilleries can be toured. -My tennis coach during senior year of high school was a young undergrad instructor by the name of Mark Jeske. -Having seen 2016 revelation Kelvin Herrera melt under injury/ineffectiveness in logging a horrid 4.25 ERA, the Kansas City Royals were forced to look elsewhere during last season in order to find some stability at closer. They might have found a big solution in former failed-starter-turned-ace-reliever Mike Minor who was simply phenomenal in pitching to a 2.55 ERA and logging a closer-like 10.20 in relief. While it took the Royals until last September to hand the closer role to Minor, the lefty successfully nailed down all six attempts to give the team optimism there heading into the winter. Finally healthy after years of serious injury (including missing all of 2015 due to Tommy John), Minor appears to be just the latest example of a guy whose stuff translates better in the bullpen. Now that he was able to rely almost solely on his potent fastball as a reliever last season, Minor saw a big jump in velocity in going from just 91.7 in 2014 (his last previous stint in the majors), all the way up to 94.9 a year ago. Hence the major increase in strikeouts and the resulting three-year deal worth $28 million the Texas Rangers handed to Minor this past December. While Minor showed he can be an excellent reliever a year ago, the Rangers are going to first try him out as a starter in 2018 spring training. While Minor had some eye-opening success as a starter with the Atlanta Braves back in 2013 (13 wins, 3.21 ERA, 1.09 WHIP), that was many seasons/injuries ago. If Minor were trying to convert back to a starter in the National League, perhaps we would be more intrigued. As a result, only look here if Minor makes a push for saves in the Rangers bullpen at some point during the season. -Purpose: To describe unplanned cesarean birth as experienced by African American women. -Method: Descriptive phenomenology was used with interviews from seven women who experienced unplanned cesarean birth. Interviews of each woman's birth experience were transcribed and analyzed using Colaizzi's descriptive, phenomenological method. -Results: The findings were clustered into five themes: preparing for childbirth, mistrust, feeling rushed, being fearful, and sacrificing. -Clinical implications: The results from this study contribute to the understanding of psychosocial stressors that are associated with childbirth complicated by unplanned cesarean birth. This study lends evidence to our practice by providing information about how important anticipatory guidance is for expectant women because the possibility of cesarean birth in today's environment is not remote. Discussions about unplanned cesarean births should also be a part of this anticipatory guidance. -Fries, Kathleen S. "African American Women & Unplanned Cesarean Birth." MCN: The American Journal of Maternal Child Nursing. 35.2 (2010): 110-115. -A first-summer male RED-FOOTED FALCON has been present north of Stoke-on-Trent (Staffs) since it was first identified on 9th July. It is favouring a horse paddock to the north of the entrance road to the former Chatterley Whitfield Colliery site just off of the roundabout on the A527 Biddulph Road at SJ 882 534 (SatNav ST6 8UW) and has been particularly confiding throughout its stay. Sadly, visiting photographers began artificially feeding the bird from about 12th (for photography reasons) which had the effect of making the bird almost 'hand tame', consequently attracting the wrong sort of 'admirer' and culminating in the attempted kidnap of the bird on 20 July. Despite the two perpetrators being identified and disturbed, they returned for a second attempt on 22nd. As a result of these illegal actions, it is now ESSENTIAL that no photographers attempt to entice the bird with food - no Crickets, no Locusts, NOTHING WHATSOEVER - and all visitors kindly adhere to the on-site instructions. Staffordshire Police were alerted and are now making regular patrols to the site, with Burslem's local police station offering a local Wildlife Liason Officer in attendance intermittently. Staffordshire birdwatchers are also on a rotational wardening system. Due to the nature of the perpetrators however, it is inadvisable for any birdwatcher to confront them but to telephone 0300 123 4455 immediately of a problem or 999 should they capture the bird. -Peter Hines has very kindly supplied this superb video sequence of the bird - click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyTWekc8vp8 - showing clearly how capable the bird is at finding natural food on site, of which there is ample. -We certainly do not wish to discourage birdwatchers from visiting, the bird being much better protected that you do - it is just that artificial feeding could prove detrimental to the bird's safety and survival. I visited the site on its second day (prior to any feeding) and as you can see from my array of shots below, it performs particularly admirably without any unnecessary encouragement. -With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be. Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of "undefined consequences."

The succentor of canons, or succentormajor (first mentioned in the 11th century), at York, Bayeux, Paris, Amiens, Glasgow, Chalons, Girgenti, Wells, and Salisbury, acted as precentor's deputy with. regard to the canons; he ranks, after the subdean, and the office was given by the diocesan. At Amiens he installs canons in the lower stalls; at Rouen he holds a prebend and regulates processions; he is often called prichantre in distinction from the grand chantre. -2.

The SPAB is about buildings not people, but people made the buildings we care for, people love them, people look after them now and hope to pass them on to those who come after" -You can give old buildings a future. Leaving a legacy to the SPAB is a powerful way to ensure that our work can continue. -Since 1877, the SPAB has fought for the protection of historic buildings. Today we uphold the principles established by William Morris, continuing his campaign for the care and repair of old buildings. Legacies have always been vital to our work. -Demands for the SPAB’s help and support are ever-increasing. To meet them we rely on the assistance of those passionate about the charity’s aims and ideals. -Thousands of old buildings, from the simplest to the grandest, have benefited from our help. The value we place on so many different types of buildings stands us apart from others. We care about the cottage, barn, parish church and mill along with cathedrals, palaces and stately homes. By respecting a building’s history and fabric we aim to protect the very special qualities that give it a timeless beauty and enrich our cultural identity. -As public funding declines and demands on limited resources increase, legacies are even more important than ever to the SPAB. Bequests from our generous supporters vary from year to year, but regularly contribute in excess of 10% of our income. Whatever their size, legacies really do make a significant impact on our work. -William Morris left us the SPAB as his legacy. We hope that you will join us in continuing the important work he started. By leaving a legacy you can help protect old buildings for future generations. -Cecily Greenhill was the SPAB's archivist for many years and left a generous legacy to the Society when she died in 2012. -John Sell joined the SPAB in 1974.

By afternoon, I noticed they were still there and out of curiosity more than anything thought I’d see if there was a pattern. There was! Extremely timeable, but very short and could barely feel them. -After several hours of monitoring, nothing was picking up and I started to worry it was prodromal, but in my Hypnobabies birth visualizations that I had been doing I would go to sleep and get the real party started in the morning, so I kept faith, turned on my birthing day tracks and attempted to get some sleep… but I was way too excited though for that just in case! Morning brought nothing more though. -So instead, I headed into the chiro and just took it very very easy at home just in case and just enjoyed having such a calm and relaxing morning. -After arriving, she agreed that it was hard to tell if we were still practicing or just in a very very early time. I convinced myself that maybe it just LOOKED that way because I was using my hypnosis, but the timings and lengths just weren’t promising. After about an hour, I started to get real antsy and wanted to be downstairs. Out of nowhere I vomited. Ok! NOT in practice!! -Things picked up beautifully from there. I could just sense that my waves were getting longer, but sensation wise, couldn’t really tell in comparison thanks to my hypnosis. Each wave felt powerful and intense but never painful. I could tell I was hanging longer at the top of the waves but just let myself go to center (a Hypnobabies hypnosis technique), vocalize through it and reminded myself to smile at the end. -I was very vocal through each wave which felt good and helped me direct my hypno-anesthesia. I couldn’t stand having the headphones in so asked to put my Hypnobabies tracks on out loud on repeat, which was great. I easily went back and forth from center to off but kept in center the majority of the time. -Time seemed to both linger, yet rush. My husband (now) has told me that I didn’t sound comfortable, but I truly only felt slight discomfort and just very very strong pressure. My birthing day affirmations played loudly in my head reminding myself that each wave was easy, comfortable and bringing me one step closer to holding my baby. -We had beautiful progress of pushing for the next 45 minutes. Hubby kept my Hypnobabies “pushing baby out” track on repeat which SO helped me in the moments that I just wasn’t sure if I could do it anymore. This was the only time that I felt more than pressure, but knew we were so close! Hearing that I was just stretching (that was honestly the hardest part for me, I could barely feel the waves at this point, but I felt the stretching!) or reminding me where to put my hypno-anesthesia kept bringing me back into the moment rather than letting my emotions take over. I never doubted my hypnosis here but was by all means wondering why my body wasn’t stretching more and just desperately praying that it would!! -After 45 minutes I knew I needed to change positions, they recommended the side lie which helped for a few pushes, but I’d visualized birthing on my knees, so I knew I needed to make one final change and within one more push he was out!!!! -I couldn’t even catch him because I was already crying and then just in such shock/joy that they had to tell me to turn over to get him. There was a second-degree tear in the final moments (kiddo decided he wanted to wave at us all as he arrived) and it ended up they just believed I had a very very tight perineum, which is why the pushing was long but the Dr (there because of VBAC) kept praising my control through the whole thing. -The 7th was spent in preparing my despatches for Adelaide. On the 8th I sent in a dray to Port Lincoln, with Mr. Scott’s luggage, and those things that were to be sent to Adelaide, comprising all the specimens of geology and botany we had collected, a rough chart of our route, and the despatches and letters which I had written. The boat was not ready at the time appointed, and Mr. Scott returned to the tents. In the evening, however, he again went to the settlement, and about ten, P.M., he, and the man who was to manage the boat, went on board to sail for Adelaide. I had been taken very ill during the day, and was unable to accompany him to the place of embarkation. The following is a copy of my despatch to the Governor, and to the Chairman of the Northern Expedition Committee, embodying my reasons for going to the westward. -“Sir, — Having fallen back upon Port Lincoln for supplies, an opportunity has occurred to me of writing a brief and hurried report of our proceedings. I have, therefore, the honour to acquaint you, for the information of His Excellency, the Governor, and the colonists interested in the Northern Expedition, with the result of my examination of the country north of Spencer’s Gulf, and of the further steps I contemplate taking to endeavour to carry out the wishes of the Committee, and accomplish the object for which the expedition was fitted out. -“Upon leaving our depot, near Mount Arden, the low, arid, and sandy nature of the country between the hills and Lake Torrens, compelled us to follow close under the continuation of Flinders range. Here our progress was necessarily very slow, from the rugged nature of the country, the scarcity of water, and the great difficulty both of finding and obtaining access to it. As we advanced, the hills inclined considerably to the eastward, gradually becoming less elevated, until, in latitude 29 degrees 20 minutes S., they ceased altogether, and we found ourselves in a very low and level country, consisting of large stony plains, varied occasionally by sand; and the whole having evidently been subject to recent and extensive inundation. These plains are destitute of water, grass, and timber, and have only a few salsolaceous plants growing upon them; whilst their surface, whether stony or sandy, is quite smooth and even, as if washed so by the action of the water. Throughout this level tract of country were interspersed, in various directions, many small flat-topped elevations, varying in height from 50 to 300 feet, and almost invariably exhibiting precipitous banks. These elevations are composed almost wholly of a chalky substance, coated over on the upper surface by stones, or a sandy soil, and present the appearance of having formed a table land that has been washed to pieces by the violent action of water, and of which these fragments now only remain. Upon forcing a way through this dreary region, in three different directions, I found that the whole of the low country round the termination of Flinders range, was completely surrounded by Lake Torrens, which, commencing not far from the head of Spencer’s Gulf, takes a circuitous course of fully 400 miles, of an apparent breadth of from twenty to thirty miles, following the sweep of Flinders range, and almost encircling it in the form of a horse shoe. -“The greater part of the vast area contained in the bed of this immense lake, is certainly dry on the surface, and consists of a mixture of sand and mud, of so soft and yielding a character, as to render perfectly ineffective all attempts either to cross it, or reach the edge of the water, which appears to exist at a distance of some miles from the outer margin. On one occasion only was I able to taste of its waters; in a small arm of the lake near the most north-westerly part of it, which I visited, and here the water was as salt as the sea. The lake on its eastern and southern sides, is bounded by a high sandy ridge, with salsolae and some brushwood growing upon it, but without any other vegetation. The other shores presented, as far as I could judge, a very similar appearance; and when I ascended several of the heights in Flinders range — from which the views were very extensive, and the opposite shores of the lake seemed to be distinctly visible — no rise or hill of any kind could ever be perceived, either to the west, the north, on the east; the whole region around appeared to be one vast, low, and dreary waste. One very high and prominent summit in this range, I have named Mount Serle; it is situated in 30 degrees 30 minutes south latitude, and about 139 degrees 10 minutes east longitude, and is the first point from which I obtained a view of Lake Torrens to the eastward of Flinders range, and discovered that I was hemmed in on every side by a barrier it was impossible to pass. I had now no alternative left me, but to conduct my party back to Mount Arden, and then decide what steps I should adopt to carry out the objects of the expedition. It was evident, that to avoid Lake Torrens, and the low desert by which it is surrounded, I must go very far either to the east or to the west before again attempting to penetrate to the north. -“First — To move my party to the southward, to endeavour to procure supplies from the nearest stations north of Adelaide, and then, by crossing to the Darling, to trace that river up until I found high land leading to the north-west. -“Secondly — To cross over to Streaky Bay, send from thence to Port Lincoln for supplies, and then follow the line of coast to the westward, until I met with a tract of country practicable to the north. To the first of these plans were many objections; amongst the principal ones, were, the very unfavourable accounts given both by Captain Sturt, and Major Mitchell, of the country to the west of the Darling River — the fact of Captain Sturt’s having found the waters of that river salt during a continued ride of many days — the numerous tribes of natives likely to be met with, and the very small party I should have with me; lastly, the course of the river itself, which trending so much to the eastward, would take us from, rather than towards the centre of this Continent. On the other hand, by crossing to the westward, I should have to encounter a country which I knew to be all but destitute of water, and to consist, for a very great distance, of barren sandy ridges and low lands, covered by an almost impenetrable scrub, at a season, too, when but little rain could be expected, and the heat would, in all probability, be intense; still, of the two, the latter appeared to me the least objectionable, as we should at least be going towards the point we wished to reach, and through a country as yet quite unknown. -“After mature and anxious consideration, therefore, I decided upon adopting it, hoping that my decision may meet with the approbation of the Committee. -“Previous to our arrival at Mount Arden, we experienced very showery weather for some days, (otherwise we could not have attempted a passage to the westward); and as there were no longer any apprehensions of water being found on the route to Streaky Bay, I sent two of my teams across upon our old tracks, in charge of my overseer, whilst I conducted the third myself, in company with Mr. Scott, direct to Port Lincoln, to procure the supplies we required. In crossing from Mount Arden, towards Port Lincoln, we travelled generally through a low barren country, densely covered by brush, among which were scattered, at considerable intervals, a few small patches of grass, with here and there some rocky elevations; in the latter, we were usually able to procure water for ourselves and horses, until we arrived at the districts already explored, in traversing which we passed (to the N. E. of Port Lincoln) some rich, well watered valleys, bounded by a considerable extent of grassy hills, well adopted for sheep or cattle, arriving at Port Lincoln on the 3rd of October. As a line of route from Adelaide for the emigration of stock, the course we followed, though it cannot be called a good one, is perfectly practicable in the winter season; and I have no doubt, when the country becomes better known, the present track might be considerably improved upon, and both grass and water obtained in greater abundance. -“I regret extremely to acquaint you, that on the morning of the 9th September, one of the police horses (called “Grey Paddy”) kindly lent to the Expedition by His Excellency the Governor, was found with his leg broken, apparently from the kick of another horse during the night, and I was obliged to order him to be shot in consequence. With this exception, no serious accident has occurred, and the whole of the party are in the enjoyment of good health and spirits. As the Expedition will still be absent, in all probability, upwards of five months, I have availed myself of a kind offer from Dr. Harvey, to send his boat over to Adelaide, and have sent Mr. Scott to receive any instructions his Excellency the Governor, or the Committee, may wish to give relative to our future proceedings; and immediately Mr. S. returns, I shall hurry up to Streaky Bay with the supplies, and at once move on to the westward, my overseer being now engaged in preparing for our forcing a passage through the scrub, to the north-west of Streaky Bay, as soon as we arrive there with the remainder of the party. -From the 9th to the 22nd of October, I was occupied a good deal at the camp, having only one man and a native boy to attend to the tent, the horses and the sheep, so that I was in a great measure confined at home, occasionally only making short excursions to the town to superintend the preparation of a large supply of horse-shoes, or visiting the stations of some of the nearest country settlers. I had lately bought a kangaroo dog, from the captain of an American whaler, and in these rambles had frequent opportunities of trying my new purchase, both after emus and kangaroos, but he was quite useless for hunting either, and did little credit to the honesty of the person who sold him to me, and who had asked and received a high price, in consideration of the animal being, as he assured me, of a better description than ordinary. Of the natives of the district I saw nothing whatever; the death of young Hawson, and the subsequent scouring of the country by police, had driven them away from the occupied parts, and forced them to the fastnesses of the hills, or to the scrubs; I was, however, enabled by the kindness of Mr. Schurman, a German Missionary, stationed at Port Lincoln, to obtain a limited collection of words and phrases in the dialect of the district, and which I hoped might be of some use to me hereafter. Mr. Schurman has since published a copious vocabulary and grammar, of the language in use in this part of Australia. -PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH YOUR APPLICATION. -We are a language centre created in 1984 and located in Brussels, Belgium. -We are experts in language teaching in Belgium and abroad. -We have several departments and centres and teach a variety of customers (individuals, companies, international institutions in Brussels and Luxembourg). -We have a teaching team which is composed of over 600 freelance teachers who teach more than 25 languages. -We are looking for teachers to teach by videoconference, using our own virtual classroom platform (including a virtual whiteboard). -We offer 30-minute classes to learners from different profiles (individuals or companies, mostly located in Europe). -We offer the opportunity to teach from home or remotely with flexibility to choose the hours you want.

The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast, and Long Island Sound is to the south. -The puritan pilgrims from England first settled in the region in 1620, forming the Plymouth Colony, the first successful English settlement in the Americas. Ten years later, more Puritans settled north of Plymouth Colony in the greater Boston area, thus forming the Massachusetts Bay Colony. -You can take a virtual tour of the Mayflower ship, the first ship of the pilgrim in the video below.

These were termed the “Intolerable Acts” by the colonists. -The confrontation led to the first battles of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, and the expulsion of the British authorities from the region in the spring of 1776. -The region played a prominent role in the movement to abolish slavery in the United States and was the first region of the U.S. transformed by the Industrial Revolution, centered on the Blackstone and Merrimack river valleys. -The physical geography of New England is diverse for such a small area. Southeastern New England is covered by a narrow coastal plain, while the western and northern regions are dominated by the rolling hills and worn-down peaks of the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains. -With the Atlantic fall line lying so close to the coast, numerous industrial cities were able to take advantage of water power along the numerous rivers, such as the Connecticut River, which bisects the region from north to south. -The region is particularly known for its beautiful fall foliage. Take a look at the beautiful New England scenery in the video below. -Each state is principally subdivided into small incorporated municipalities, which are known as towns. These are often governed by town meetings. The only unincorporated areas in the region exist in the sparsely populated northern regions of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. -It maintains a strong sense of cultural identity, although the terms of this identity are often contrasted, combining Puritanism with liberalism, agrarian life with industry, and isolation with immigration. -More than 1 in 12 of Greensboro’s renter households were subject to eviction judgments in 2016, one of the highest rates of any large U.S. city. The city’s affordability challenges, though, are by no means unique. As seen in other places, stagnant incomes for poorer households haven’t kept up with steadily escalating rents, contributing to high evictions in areas all across the country. To make matters worse, a tornado ripped through the city in April, displacing many residents. -A recently launched Princeton University database compiled from 83 million court records dating back to 2000 provides the first-ever national look at evictions. The Eviction Lab project is led by Matthew Desmond, whose recent Pulitzer Prize-winning book Evicted sparked a national dialogue on the issue. -What the Rise in Renting Means for Cities The Unintended Consequences of Smoke-Free Public Housing Newly Elected Democratic Socialists Bring New Ideas on Affordable Housing Can Paying for the Poor to Have Lawyers Actually Save a City Money? With Child Homelessness on the Rise, What Can Schools Do? -Data reveal that high rates of evictions aren’t just confined to expensive housing markets or high-poverty cities. In Hampton, Va., for example, 1 in 10 renters faced a court-ordered eviction. And in Tulsa, Okla., and Killeen, Texas, the rate was 1 in 13. “Before these data, we really didn’t know just how widespread evictions were,” says Megan Hatch, who researches the issue at Cleveland State University. -The highest eviction rates were generally found in jurisdictions throughout the Southeast -- and not just in urban areas. Some rural and exurban places across the U.S. also experience elevated rates of eviction. Areas with high concentrations of African-Americans reported particularly high totals. -Brett Byerly, who heads the Greensboro Housing Coalition, a group providing housing counseling and support services, says an estimated 80 percent of the organization’s clients are black and most are women, mirroring disparities elsewhere. Governing’s calculations of Eviction Lab’s 2016 data for larger counties suggest eviction rates are strongly correlated with African-American populations, more so than poverty levels and rent burdens. -Nationally, Eviction Lab estimates suggest 2.3 percent of renters experienced a court-ordered eviction in 2016. But that’s a significant undercount. More than twice as many evictions were filed that never led to a judgment. Other instances when tenants left after receiving notice or were paid to do so also aren’t captured in court records. Desmond’s research has found such informal evictions accounted for nearly half the total in Milwaukee. -Most of the time, tenants threatened with eviction don’t show up to court hearings. In Guilford County, where Greensboro is located, only about a quarter appeared in court, according to Sills’ research. A big reason for this is that on top of potentially being evicted, Greensboro tenants appearing in court face the possibility of a cash judgment against them. -Ashley Gromis, an Eviction Lab researcher, says she was surprised to see many cases popping up in court systems with the same landlords and tenants at the same addresses. This suggests court filings are being used as a debt collection tool, with tenants likely repeatedly paying for a landlord’s court fee on top of any late fees. -Landlords further hold the upper hand in terms of legal representation. A 2004 study of Phoenix-area courts reported attorneys represented landlords in 87 percent of eviction cases, while not a single tenant had legal counsel. Some nonprofit groups provide free legal assistance, but there aren’t enough of them. There’s just one such legal aid firm serving Greensboro’s low-income renters and the rest of the state. -Byerly of the Greensboro Housing Coalition says it’s particularly difficult to find housing for those with an eviction on their record. That’s because landlords are screening prospective tenants with third-party companies that collect court data. California expanded a state law a few years ago that seals many of these eviction cases from the general public to help protect renters. -As in a lot of cities, Greensboro’s top evictor is the local public housing authority. Part of that’s due to the population such authorities serve and their large housing inventory. Sills says public housing residents are also subject to more inspections and stricter rules than people in private developments. Many worry the problem could worsen with a new federal mandate prohibiting smoking inside public housing and outdoor areas within 25 feet of buildings. -States’ landlord-tenant laws vary widely. Cleveland State’s Hatch reviewed all policies around rules such as how many days’ notice landlords must give before increasing rent or how long they have to wait before starting eviction proceedings for delinquent renters. Northeastern states, along with California and a few others, maintain the most pro-renter laws. North Carolina and other parts of the South and Midwest tended to favor landlords, according to Hatch’s research. -At the local level, New York last year became the first city to guarantee all low-income residents threatened with eviction the right to legal counsel. Other cities are establishing legal aid funds. A Harvard Law Review study found that renters assigned legal representation were significantly more likely to retain their residences following litigation than those without an attorney. -Another approach that’s gaining momentum is “just cause” provisions. To evict a tenant, landlords must provide a reason specifically permitted by a local ordinance. The requirement could also help avoid, say, large-scale evictions when a new owner acquires an apartment building. Housing advocates also suggest preventing evictions makes financial sense for cities given the high cost of providing services to those without a place to live. Some are pursuing eviction diversion programs, such as a mediation service Denver recently piloted. -Our Community Support Scheme has now donated over £150,000 to deserving causes throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and surrounding areas since the Scheme was established in 2008. The milestone was reached when the Scheme’s trustees agreed to distribute another £20,000 to 40 groups in 2017 looking for funding to help bring their plans to life. -The Community Support Scheme was established to provide financial assistance to a range of local community groups, clubs and charities that selflessly devote their time and energy to improve the quality of life for communities throughout our region. -Applications are invited from organisations that assist the disadvantaged; promote and encourage participation in sporting activities or the arts; support education; or benefit the environment. -A total of 387 donations have now been made to local community groups since May 2008 with beneficiaries including Over 60's Youthful Group, Age UK Notts, Chesterfield Amateur Boxing Club, Mansfield First Responders, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, Central Nottinghamshire MIND, Mansfield Senior Reds Walking Football Club, Mansfield and North Nottinghamshire Society for Deaf People and many, many more. -The Society’s donations have helped groups in our heartland area fund a variety of things, including new kayaks and associated safety equipment, defibrillators, a fibre optic carpet for those living with autism, and even a lawnmower for a local crown bowling club to maintain its facilities. -Gev Lynott, Chief Executive Officer at the Society, said “We’re delighted to have helped so many great causes across the region through our Community Support Scheme.

Her practice takes a non-operative, non-opioid approach, with the focus on her patients’ overall long-term health. -Greensboro Rejuvenation also offers natural hormone replacement therapy, natural weight loss and nutritional IV supplementation. -A Thomasville native, Dr. Bethea grew up in High Point and Greensboro before her family relocated to West Virginia. She returned to the Tar Heel State in 1992. As a medical student at East Carolina University, she wanted to be a surgeon, and after graduating in 2001, completed her general surgery internship in Syracuse, N.Y. -In 2005, she completed her PM&R residency as chief resident at Sinai Hospital (University of Maryland) in Baltimore. Dr. Bethea is also fellowship trained in interventional spine and joint pain management and worked for a neurosurgical practice for three years before opening her own practice in Reidsville. In 2014 she moved that practice to Greensboro. -Platelet-rich plasma treatment, a natural procedure using the patient’s own blood, is one of the more rewarding services Dr. Bethea offers her patients. It is recommended for healing damaged or injured tissues. PRP involves drawing blood from a patient, spinning it in a centrifuge, and extracting the plasma and platelets from the whole blood, which are injected back into the painful, injured areas, on the same day. -One of her patients, Ann Hardee of Greensboro, a 69-year-old yoga instructor and real estate agent, agrees. -“Dr. Bethea evaluated my injury and injected PRP in February 2017. I felt immediate relief, and over the next eight weeks, the pain completely disappeared. I would repeat this treatment again and again over surgery if the pain ever returned. I have recommended this treatment to others as an amazing alternative to surgery,” she says. -For more information, visit GSORejuvenation.com. -Quite a few applied sciences permit digital paperwork to be signed.

This duty is supported and enforceable, in response to section-2 of the Uniform Industrial Code (UCC), the legislation governing gross sales contracts offers that any contract for the sale of products “may be made in any manner sufficient to show (agreement of/to terms offered) agreement, including conduct by both parties which recognizes the existence of a specified contract.”Offerees, distributors, retailers, and/or sellers who do enterprise by way of the Web can shield themselves in opposition to contract disputes and authorized legal responsibility by creating affords that spell out clearly the phrases that may govern their transactions.

With respect to jurisdictions, that is actually true, and cited in The Fundamentals of Enterprise Regulation, authored by Roger Leroy Miller and Gaylord A. Jentz. “The bench is coming to some consensus regarding commerce cases before the courts that do not really fit into the categories and rules being developed by case law.” This level is the commerce clause in and of Interstate Commerce Rules, “Pro Tempore” (in the intervening time).An “E-Contract” is a contract that’s fashioned electronically. “E-Money” is pay as you go funds recorded on a pc or a card (akin to a wise card or a stored-value card – a present card). A “Destination Contract” is a contract for the sale of products wherein the vendor is required or approved to ship the products by provider and ship them at a selected vacation spot.

According to a complaint filed by the national law firm of Parker Waichman LLP, the plaintiff suffered life-changing injuries following implantation of American Medical Systems’ IntePro Large Pore Polypropelene Y-Sling. -According to the complaint, the woman, a resident from Monroe, New York, received the American Medical Systems transvaginal mesh device during surgery in 2008 to treat stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The lawsuit alleges that she suffered a number of health consequences as a direct result of the device, including significant mental and physical pain and suffering, permanent injury, permanent and substantial physical deformity and loss of her bodily organ system. The lawsuit further claims that the IntePro Large Pore Polypropelene Y-Sling is defective, and increases the risk of vaginal erosion, infection, extrusion, perforation, chronic pain and/or abscess. -The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, Charleston Division, where dozens of similar transvaginal mesh lawsuits are pending in the American Medical Systems, Inc., Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2325). -The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has been conducting a safety review of transvaginal mesh devices since 2008. In January, it asked more than 30 companies that manufacture the products, including American Medical Systems, to conduct post-market safety studies of their devices. In July 2011, the agency revealed that it had received 2,874 reports of complications involving transvaginal mesh from 2008 to 2010. At the time, the FDA cautioned that transvaginal mesh may carry additional health risks while having little benefit over non-mesh methods used to repair stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. -Hot-essay.com can honestly say that it has a long experience in the online writing industry.

However, in today’s world of search engine marketing (SEM), a pretty website is worthless if nobody finds it. -You need to do additional work to make the site optimized for ranking purposes and to drive traffic to it. Many make this a task to complete after the website design is complete. While that is certainly an option, we don’t believe it’s the best one. -Slapping a website on the internet isn’t enough for your online presence. You need to have the right keywords embedded into the site in order to start building your organic SEO. So why not do the required keyword research upfront during the design phase? -Web designers and SEO experts are sometimes at odds with their priorities. The goal of designers is to produce an aesthetically appealing site that communicates to visitors that they put great effort into the final product. SEO is not their priority. SEOs, however, tend to include code that is easily crawled, indexed, and understood by a search engine spider. It’s focused on keywords but can be difficult to navigate and doesn’t do a good job of lead conversion. -So what you need is a balancing act when it comes to creating a web design that is SEO-rich. Getting that result requires using a process to accomplish both goals (attractive and functional design AND keyword-rich optimization). -Besides, even if the keyword stuffing did rank you higher and drive traffic to your site, do you really think that visitors would stay there long if they didn’t find useful information? -An appropriate amount of time and effort should be allotted to keyword research. Choosing the right keywords for your business is crucial. Words or phrases that your target audience might include in queries to find your product or service need to be included in your web content strategically in a natural, relevant flow of content. -Websites need to be designed for use on multiple devices: laptops, tablets and mobile. Over 70% of internet searching is done via smart phones and that number will continue to grow. If your website isn’t designed to be mobile-friendly, it will be penalized, not only by the search engines but by prospective customers. Google rewards mobile-friendly websites with higher organic SEO rankings. Users will not stay long if they can’t navigate easily or see what they want on the site. -If you design the website from the get-go to automatically adjust for optimal display on all devices, you won’t have to worry about it later on. -These are behind-the-scene items in the HTML code that can boost SEO for the website. Remember, great design is to help the people who make it to your site, but the code is to help the search engines get them there. -The header tags include an overall summary of the page for search engines to use for ranking without having to read the rest of the page content. Including keywords in the headers will further optimize the site and make the content more organized and easier to read and understand. -A title tag is an HTML element that specifies the title of a web page. They are what appears in search results as a clickable link to the site. They should contain the primary keyword phrase, ideally at the beginning for best SEO results. -Search engines cannot scan images for keywords, so it’s important to add a title for them and include alt text that incorporates keywords. -Need a Website that Will Get You Leads? -If you don’t have a website at all, we can design you one that meets your specific business needs, includes SEO to get your ranked highly and will promote lead conversion.

Come to think of it, what do you know of relics?!” my older brother sassed with the smug look of a know-it-all. -Yes, I have a brother. Lots of male cousins too, for that matter. They were nuisances, and still are. I say that fondly. My sisters were alright. Anyway, I digress as I am wont to do. -My brother would have said something back, probably totally inappropriate, but my mom overheard us and interjected. She told us not to call anyone ‘creepy’, then she chased us out of the house to go be underfoot elsewhere. -My friend was right about one thing though, Old Man Red was strange. -If anything, my curiosity burnt within me to know the story of this man. I found myself asking questions, such as, What is his real name? How old is he? Is he as alone in this world as he seemed to be? Is there no wife? Does he have children or relatives somewhere? -And for as long as he had practically been a familiar albeit unfriendly hermit to the people in my hometown, I wondered, Who took care of his needs, and how did he survive? -Ten years old, and I already possessed a very curious mind. It would be to my advantage when I am older and wanted to write about drama and life, but back then it just gave me headaches and wild imaginations. -The questions of Old Man Red’s survival and continued existence was of paramount concern to me, admittedly not because I cared about him all that much since I didn’t know him, but more because I was naturally curious and mysteries had always attracted me. -Alone, but is he lonely? Did he know what people were saying about him behind his back? Did he know of the persistent whispers around him when he made his rare visits to town and when people he encountered quite obviously made a wide detour around him, but stayed near enough to stare and gawk, not to mention gossip? How did he feel, knowing children were quite certainly afraid of him, and most adults stayed out of his way? -I admit that as a child, I had this fear, when all I heard told of this man was the same tale other children heard from adults around them, that Old Man Red was so called and looked the way he did, because he was actually a monster in disguise. -← Juergen Teller (2015/2017) Ed Ruscha (2015/2017) → Overview Issue No. 108 / December 2017 "Idiom - Languages of Art" -The camera lens is a seemingly infinite architectural space capable of miniaturizing a world into a rectangular box and, when controlled correctly, that space offers a corresponding infinitum of texture and detail to its chosen subject. Recognized as a technical master of this medium, Candida Höfer rhymes the vastness of “real” architectural spaces with those provided by the mechanical apparatus itself to create stark portraits of (mostly uninhabited) spaces generally devoid of any vestige of the personal or anecdotal. Höfer’s "Colored Wood", 2017, is no exception in its technical virtuosity – the artist having framed the background and foreground in such claustrophobic proximity as to have effectively collapsed the distinction between the two. And yet this is a rare piece in Höfer’s oeuvre as it captures not a sweeping interior view, but rather an intimate detail thereof. The “colored wood” that is the work’s putative referent appears vertically across the plane of the print, building a syntax of painterly strokes: light blues, crimsons, a pea green, and finally, 70s-era glossy burnt umber wood. Between these vertical bands, a hazy reticulation unites the visual field. And here, the light seems to emerge from within the flat pictorial space rather than from somewhere outside the frame. At further remove, there is the faint outline of a window, and beside it, perhaps a table or graphic emblem, though it is impossible to say for sure. This is because all of Höfer’s usual grammar of spatial recession has been inverted in this work, giving us a penetrating exploration of the infinite layers of real and illusory depth that comprise the inscrutable photographic surface. -C-print, image size: 38 x 39.7 cm, paper size: 56 x 57.7 cm, edition: 100 + 30 A.P., numbered and signed on the back, € 890.00 plus shipping. -Leader in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration sectors for 65 years, and recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies since 2010; The Master Group is the largest independent HVAC-R distributor in Canada.

The doctor placed him in hospice because he could not fix the issue. Charlie died on February 13, 2015. The cause of death listed on his death certificate is subdural hemorrhage. -The only lawsuits I have seen relating to this issue are for Plavix, not Clopidogrel which is the generic brand. Are there any lawyers taking Clopidogrel lawsuits? What would I have to do to bring a case for this? Thank you. -Clopidogrel bisulfate, or its generic brand name Plavix, is manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb. The drug was approved in 1997 for prevention of blood clots and to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. -While the manufacturer claimed Plavix worked better than aspirin, recent studies have shown that Plavix carries no significant benefit over the much cheaper aspirin. -There are currently several class actions in litigation. It appears they are not accepting victims in class actions against Bristol-Myers Squibb regarding the side effects of Clopidogrel bisulfate. -Go online and search on class actions for Clopidogrel bisulfate. You will find a good number of law firms representing victims of the side effects of Clopidogrel bisulfate in class actions and product liability claims. Feel free to contact those firms for further information. -My father passed away June 2016. A TIA incident brought us to our nearest hospital. There, the nurse recommended Plavix. Not even three months later he had a massive brain hemorrhage. He died from plavix being in his system before he passed away a week later. -I read that if he took aspirin with it, which I believe he did for the headache, it increases the chance of bleeding even further. They never went over that, at least not with me in the room. -This stuff really shouldn’t be on the market, it does not help anyone no mater how great the thought is. It’s only a great way to kill your family. Hospitals have Total lack of understanding of the use of this drug. Do not take this stuff lightly. -I don’t know if I can sue them and the hospital since its been two/three years, but if its possible I will. Even if it doesn’t bring back my dad. I want to fight them so at least he wouldn’t have died in vain, for my family and for others. -I had a heart attack in April 2017 and was put on a generic of Plavix. I was supposed to take it for a whole year but 2 months ago I got a letter in the mail stating the generic for Plavix (the pill I was taking) was on recall. Now I am looking for a lawyer to tell me what I should do because the whole time I was taking this medicine it wasn’t helping me. I’m still having trouble breathing and I have this rash all over my body. I don’t know what to do but I’m about to contact a lawyer. -I am so sorry about your husband’s death. Thank you very much for giving out this very important information about ‘the court ruling’. Only after I read your write up I understood why, not a single law firm is willing to go after these drug manufactures, and why they are dropping the cases. -With all the death and side effect incidents with this drug, FDA is claiming that ‘enough’ victims or doctors are not reporting the adverse effect to FDA so they could not recall it! The ‘number of victims’ report is their base for recall! Did you get a chance to report it to FDA? You could do it online FDA.GOV. Or call 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332) and speak to a person. -My husband was bruising all over his body, cardiologists said that is the side effect of clopidogrel and got a bleeding stroke in April of 2016, followed by seizures and complications from that. Fortunately, he is still alive, could not drive, quality of life completely changed, 72 year old need to be taken care of like a seven year old. Now that FDA has the authority over this drug, there is something we could do, thus our loss will not be in vein. -We need to write to the FDA administrator, with cc to the white house, the justice department who did the ruling, the house appropriation committee chair who is funding the FDA, the senators and the congressmen/women of our states. There are a lot of victims not able to do anything about it legally, however, collectively we could do a lot about it. If I could save one family from going through the suffering, I will be happy. Please communicate with me if you could. -My husband died as a result of taking Plavix following a TIA he had in January of 2012. For 6 months he took Plavix and when it came off patent in May, 2012 he was given the generic called Clopidogrel for 3 more years. -Many of the side effects of Plavix, or the generic drug, presented in my husband, but were attributed to his existing disease, NASH – nonalcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. -During the time he was on this medication he had nose bleeds, bleeding in his mouth, and constant bruising. When he had a cerebral hemorrhage and a gastro-intestinal bleed, doctors could not figure out what was happening. -After his death in December of 2015, I proceeded to do some research on my own. Major side effects from these drugs are cerebral hemorrhages, gastro-intestinal bleeds, nose bleeds, gum bleeds, blood bruising and bone marrow disorder. -It was this last side effect that ultimately killed my husband. He developed a bone marrow disorder which led to AML leukemia. He died from this leukemia. -In my research I have read so many accounts of people who had been prescribed Plavix and were later diagnosed with AML leukemia. Obviously, not a coincidence. It would appear to be a direct result of taking these drugs. -Due to the ruling by the Supreme Court Justices which stated that all generic drugs and their manufacturers, some 80% of all drugs consumed in the United States, are exempt from liability for side effects, mislabeling, or virtually any other negative reactions caused by their drugs. -In short, the Court ruled that the FDA has ultimate authority over pharmaceuticals in the US, and if the FDA says a drug is safe, that takes precedent over actual facts, real victims and any and all adverse reactions. -In other words, if the FDA says something is safe, it does not matter if that decision is wrong or the result of misrepresentation, fraud or deception on the part of the world’s pharmaceutical companies. -There is no way to sue the FDA for being wrong and costing millions of unsuspecting Americans their lives. That result leaves millions of Americans unprotected from an industry responsible for innumerable preventable deaths in the US from use of these drugs and their side effects. -My husband died and there is no recourse. However, if he was holding a hot cup of coffee from McDonald’s, we could have litigated this! -Pharmaceutical companies and our government, in the eyes of the Supreme Court, are putting profits before people. This decision has to be reversed. -Toiling to resolve their populist tendencies with artiness, ‘Resistance Is Futile’ might be the most emotionally honest Manic Street Preachers album yet. -It’s perhaps fitting for a band as multi-faceted in their identity and approach as the Manic Street Preachers that the title of their 13th album, Resistance Is Futile, should have such an ambiguous meaning. In the context of the political upheaval of the last few years, is it a call to arms to confront changing times, or is it an acceptance of defeat in the face of it? There hasn’t even been any hard clues as to the band’s intentions going forwards, with songwriter and chief spokesperson / propagandist Nicky Wire describing Resistance Is Futile as “either a new era or the end”. -Of course, the Manics have been in this kind of sentimental territory before with 2010’s Postcards From A Young Man, which was billed by Wire as “one last shot at mass communication”, but this is a band that’s always reserved the right to contradict itself. The It’s possible to see Resistance Is Futile as the third creative re-grouping of the Manics’ career, after the disappearance of their talismanic songwriter Richey Edwards forged the defiant Everything Must Go and the prospect of irrelevance sparked the glorious re-birth of 2007’s Send Away The Tigers. -But where those two triumphs were born out of tragedy and necessity, Resistance Is Futile comes off the back of a very successful and creatively fertile period for the Manics. After the consecutive glories of 2013’s pastoral, folk-influenced Rewind The Film and the fearless, European artiness of 2014’s Futurology, two very different records, there doesn’t seem to be any external compulsion for Wire’s existential attitude this time around, other than the long-term future the Manics see for themselves. Perhaps it’s the 20th anniversary The Holy Bible and Everything Must Go tours (not to mention the pretty hilarious Wales Euro 2016 anthem…) that’s brought this on, but it now seems to be a question of what the Manics want from themselves, all now a year away from their fifties, as opposed to what others might expect of them. -Both musically and thematically, Resistance Is Futile seems to be attempting to reconcile two contradictory versions of the Manics that they’ve flitted between in various stages of their long career: the one looking optimistically towards the future, of rousing anthems and fearless rhetoric, which brought us Everything Must Go and Send Away The Tigers, and the pensive and melancholic Manics, the regret-filled and self-doubting Manics that recorded This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours and Rewind The Film. It wrestles to resolve their populist tendencies with their artful ones, to address the turmoil of the outside world and their place within it, and does so pretty successfully, barring a handful of ideas that don’t really work. -As such, Resistance Is Futile is arguably the most honest Manics album, though far from being their best. The album’s mood is set immediately with the lush, string-swept ‘People Give In’. Beset with worry, insecurity and a sense of all things being transitory, James Dean Bradfield exuding empathy with simple truths like “people get tired / people get old”, it’s the Manics at their most humanistic – downcast, yet defiant and stoic. -Exceptional lead single ‘International Blue’, dedicated to post-war French artist Yves Klein, is a precision-targeted exocet missile of FM rock, anthemic in the same way as ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’ and peacocking with autumnal joy. It’s a bit of an outlier for the record in general, as it’s by far the most radio-friendly moment, but there’s other moments of panorama too. The reflective ‘Distant Colours’ is a sullen beauty, bemoaning the loss of ideology and certainties in the modern world and blown up to the “widescreen melancholia” that Wire feels encapsulates the album as a whole. The Manics, who’ve always been switched-on, have seen an awful lot of social, political and pop music change in their time, find themselves in a great position to critique the state of the world in 2018, even though we’re dimensions away from the punk and nihilist attitude of Generation Terrorists. -The same sentiment is echoed later in the glorious ‘Hold Me Like A Heaven’, with Bradfield sounding bewildered and pained when he looks at atomised, alienated Britain in 2018 beset with cultural nostalgia (“all the ties that bind have come undone… what is the future of the future?”). Nicky Wire delivers a very personal moment on ‘Liverpool Revisited’, echoing the sentiments of 1998 song ‘S.Y.M.M.’ regarding the Hillsborough disaster, only this time applauding the courage and stamina of the victims’ families. Wire takes the microphone himself on muted album closer ‘The Left Behind’, taking a phrase popularised during the Brexit referendum and turning it into a rumination on the Manics’ current state. -The musical polarisation between classicism and futurism is perhaps illustrated best by comparing two of Resistance Is Futile’s best tracks. The machine throb underpinning ‘Sequels Of Forgotten Wars’ is a continuation of Futurology’s pan-European outlook, while the orchestrated, detailed pop of ‘Dylan & Caitlin’, a duet sung with Welsh chanteuse The Anchoress, tells the story of the Thomases’ alcohol-fuelled romance. It fits into a great lineage of Manics duets (‘Little Baby Nothing’ and ‘Your Love Alone Is Not Enough’ being the very best, obvs) and is the kind of thing that only they can do and make it work. -However, there are a small handful of moments on Resistance Is Futile that aren’t as resonant as the majority of the tracks. The low-key ‘Vivian’, concerning photographer Vivian Maier, is intelligent but lacks the musical heft to register proper impact with the listener. The back-to-back ‘In Eternity’, which turns potentially interesting European art-rock influences into a bit of a slog, and the clumsy rocker ‘Broken Algorithms’ threaten to derail the album entirely near the end, before the expansive ‘A Song For The Sadness’ picks things up just as they’re petering out. But they’re minor complaints in the context of an album that stands up wonderfully to repeated listens, just like its immediate predecessor Futurology. -Listen to Resistance Is Futile by Manic Street Preachers here via Spotify, and tell us what you think below! -Thebes Group is proud to extend its foundation as an Assured IT Services provider by offering innovative training methods for outstanding talents – to enter or further their progress in the world of IT.

In addition, LightSquared said the tests focused on obsolete technology that is only used in “niche market devices” and that are “least able to withstand potential interference” from wireless networks. Read on for more. -After a list of the test devices was released to LightSquared, the company found that the only mass market device that reportedly failed the government’s tests actually “performed flawlessly during Technical Working Group” testing. The government also reportedly tested LightSquared’s network at a power level that is 32-times greater than the level at which it will actually operate. -LightSquared is relying on FCC approval to solidify a contract with Sprint to help build out the carrier’s 4G LTE network. Sprint most recently gave LightSquared an additional 30 days to gain FCC approval, but the government has said none of LightSquared’s proposed fixes will help it gain approval. -“Transparency is the only way taxpayers can be assured that the testing process is not manipulated to benefit one particular set of self interests,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday. “LightSquared is confident that a fair process will allow the company to move forward with its plan to deliver wireless broadband to hundreds of millions of consumers.” LightSquared’s full press release follows below. -RESTON, Va., January 18, 2012 – LightSquared said today that the process used to test GPS devices by Air Force Space Command on behalf of the Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Executive Committee (PNT EXCOM) was rigged by manufacturers of GPS receivers and government end users to produce bogus results, and revealed details of the testing to document its accusations. -PNT EXCOM advises and coordinates among U.S. government agencies on GPS matters and is comprised of representatives from those agencies with GPS expertise. LightSquared has called on the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to objectively re-evaluate this initial round of testing and also to evaluate mitigation proposals the company has proposed. Additionally, the company has called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the NTIA to conduct the second round of tests on high-precision devices at an independent laboratory to ensure objectivity and transparency. -In a call with reporters, Jeff Carlisle, LightSquared’s Executive Vice President, Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy; and Geoff Stearn, LightSquared’s Vice President for Spectrum Development; outlined how GPS industry insiders and government end users manipulated the latest round of tests to generate biased results. Also on the call was Edmond Thomas, former chief engineer at the FCC who explained how fair and accurate testing should be conducted. -1. Testing was shrouded in secrecy, no transparency. The GPS manufacturers cherry-picked the devices in secret without any independent oversight authority in place or input from LightSquared. The GPS manufacturers and the government end users put non-disclosure agreements in place for the PNT EXCOM’s tests, preventing any input by an independent authority or from LightSquared before the tests began. This secrecy made it impossible for independent experts to properly oversee or challenge the process and results, thereby leaving taxpayers who paid for the testing no option but to take the PNT EXCOM’s word for it. -2. The testing protocol deliberately focused on obsolete and niche market devices that were least able to withstand potential interference. When LightSquared finally obtained a list of the devices tested, after all testing in this first phase of tests had been completed, it was able to determine that the testing included many discontinued or niche market devices with poor filters or no filters. The units tested represent less than one percent of the contemporary universe of GPS devices. In fact, the only mass market device alleged to “fail” during this round of testing performed flawlessly during the Technical Working Group testing, which used best practice protocols agreed to by all parties, thus raising doubts about the integrity of PNT EXCOM’s process. -3. The testing standard does not reflect reality. To guarantee favorable results, the PNT EXCOM selected an extremely conservative definition of failure – one dB of interference. Independent experts agree that a one dB threshold can only be detected in laboratory settings and has no impact on GPS positional accuracy or user experience. In fact, GPS devices are designed with the ability to withstand eight dB or more of loss of sensitivity due to man-caused and natural interference. By setting the definition of interference at one dB, the testing was rigged to ensure that most receivers would fail. It should be noted that PNT EXCOM and others have justified the one dB threshold by citing an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard. However, that standard explicitly states that it does not apply to general purpose GPS receivers. -GPS and government end users should have opened the process for transparent review, chosen a representative sample of devices that reflect the scope of general purpose GPS receivers in the marketplace today, applied best practice standards to the testing protocol, and – most importantly, the tests should have been conducted by an independent laboratory rather than by the GPS manufacturers themselves, since they had a large incentive to ensure that the tested receivers would not pass the testing. -Why did the government choose to ignore LightSquared’s proposed power levels? -Why did the government choose a power level 32 times greater than the level at which LightSquared will operate? -Why did the test protocol select the 1dB degradation to noise as the interference standard, since it does not apply to general purpose GPS receivers and GPS units are typically designed with an 8dB level of tolerance? -Who determined what acceptable interference is for the current round of testing? -Why was the testing conducted using outdated/discontinued devices rather than a representative sample of what is currently in the market? -Isn’t it a violation of conflict of interest laws for representatives of GPS manufacturers to sit on the PNT advisory board and play a central role in its consideration of LightSquared when those companies are actively lobbying on the same issue? -Is it fair that taxpayers funded a testing regime they cannot review? -LightSquared has agreed to meet every technical guideline requested by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), FCC and NTIA and will continue to work in collaboration with the federal government to resolve the GPS interference issues. The secretive behavior of the PNT EXCOM indicates a co-opted process. The inappropriate influence of the private sector on their decision-making has been brought to the attention of NASA’s Inspector General in a separate conflict of interest complaint filed by LightSquared. -LightSquared is asking for fair and transparent oversight of the testing process by the FCC and NTIA, much like the agencies provided in the first round of testing that was openly agreed to by all parties. Transparency is the only way taxpayers can be assured that the testing process is not manipulated to benefit one particular set of self interests. LightSquared is confident that a fair process will allow the company to move forward with its plan to deliver wireless broadband to hundreds of millions of consumers. -What does Oxypoda grandipennis mean as a name of something? -Oxypoda grandipennis is a species of Oxypoda, described by Casey in 1911. -Go to the thesaurus of Oxypoda grandipennis to find many related words and phrases! -It’s been a big year for MGS distribution.

Most injuries to firefighters occur on the fireground, and many of these injuries are musculoskeletal-related. The musculoskeletal system’s primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion and protecting vital organs. Sprains and strains, including those of the low back and abdominal regions, account for most of the musculoskeletal injuries in firefighters. And back injuries represent the vast majority of these injuries. Further, low back injury is the most common injury related to early retirement from the fire service. -The high rate of low back injuries can be attributed to the high-risk activities that firefighters are expected to perform, such lift assists. These tasks are often accomplished while the body’s posture is ergonomically unsound or on unstable ground. -To purchase a Portable Lift Assist Device (P.L.A.D), please visit: www.pladinc.com. To view the P.L.A.D. in action, visit http://youtu.be/QxrqmwW_Vzs and http://youtu.be/AHX3sXqtGrA. -In professions such as firefighting, nursing, and first responders back injuries are a common problem when performing lift assists on individuals while on the job. Statistics show that in these professions, especially within the field of Emergency Medical Services, the rate of back injuries is very high with an increasing percentage of those back injuries being career ending. These back injures not only impact these individuals’ lives, but there is a large resource and monetary impact from Workman’s compensation claims that can cripple municipalities. Prior to the PLAD, there has not been a solution to lift assists that takes the possibility of back injuries out of the equation. -Firefighter Mike Pannucci was finishing up medic school when he was tasked with a final project that required him to provide a solution to a current problem the industry faces and present that solution to the class. From his experience as a firefighter, he knew exactly what he wanted to base his project around and that would be the growing number of back injuries associated with lift assists. From this class, this assignment, the PLAD was conceived. -Looking for assistance to help design and fabricate a device that could safely lift an individual, Mike turned to longtime friend and designer, Bobby Clark. Together, the two worked successfully on finding the right balance between a device that was extremely portable and could easily be deployed to safely and comfortably lift a person to a seated position. They went through several iterations of the PLAD until the final product that is available today got their final stamp of approval. -PLAD's main mission is to eliminate the possibility of back injuries from performing lift assists. By creating a lifting device that is light weight and extremely portable, countless other benefits were also created in the process. In the case of firefighters, multiple teams of two no longer are required to assist in a lift where the individual weights over a certain amount. A team of two can easily deploy the PLAD and safely lift an extremely heavy individual without compromising themselves thus freeing up additional resources, which otherwise would be needed for a team lift. Commonly, when performing lift assists, it can be time consuming just trying to figure out the approach to lift the individual. With the PLAD, that guess work is a non-factor because the PLAD can be deployed within a couple of minutes, which greatly shortens the time the fallen individual is in a compromising position. -Now that you are aware of the PLAD, the most portable lift assist device available, can you afford to send your team out in the field to perform a lift assist with the possibility of one of them injuring their backs? Would you perform that lift assist yourself? -A vicious crime against humanity was once again wrought yesterday, the first of its magnitude on American soil. Our fear and rage are both inevitable and understandable; and it is indeed vitally important that those who prepared and executed the crime be brought to justice as soon as possible in an international court of law. -But it is incumbent on every peace-loving American citizen to stand up against the strident calls for massive retaliation, even when they come from elected officials and even after the perpetrators have been identified beyond question. Ideologically inspired terrorism cannot be suppressed by conventional military means, and in particular not by raining fire on the civilian populations of countries whose governments are thought to harbor or sponsor terrorists. -The cause of terrorist acts such as these is not a collective madness, religious fanaticism or "cowardice", but cold rational reflection by small numbers of exceptionally aggrieved and alienated people who are driven to desperation by perceived chronic injustices to which they can see no peaceable solution. -To really put an end to such acts, in addition to finding, arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating such people, we have got to tighten our belts and open our minds and hearts. -We need to pay a whole lot more attention to the terrible things that are happening day by day to people around the world than we have been in the habit of doing up to now; and we must join more wholeheartedly in the world-wide effort to eliminate human suffering and inequity, and broaden the realm of justice. -That is the work of spiritually centered thinkers, social activists and statesmen. It is not the work of soldiers. -Seeking a dedicated individual to conduct rights and clearances for independent documentaries. This position is ideal for IP lawyers, law students or journalists with an interest in film or television, and aspiring entertainment lawyers. -Legal experience or special counsel experience & excellent writing skills, good communication skills and contracts know how. -Interlock Media, Inc. located in Kendall Square, MA, is an activist film company that points to solutions for environmental, human rights and public health challenges. We support informed policy by producing entertaining documentary and dramatic media works. -This page collects older news items from the home page. -8 Oct. 2015: I have moved debtox.info to another web hoster due to problems with the services from KPN. There might still be some glitches; if you run into unexpected behaviour, please let me know. -13 August 2015: the site has a new look and feel! I moved everything from a php-based web-builder application to plain html. This makes it easier for me to maintain, and to move to another webhoster, if needed. The important old php links should redirect automatically to the new html pages. Some glitches may occur .... so please contact me if you hit an unexpected result. -7 August 2015: moved my DEBtox Research activities to a dedicated website: www.debtox.nl.

Find it here. -With its beautiful beaches, it's no wonder so many tourists flock to Long Beach Island every summer and why so many never want to leave. I certainly understand the feeling, I've lived on Long Beach Island for over 20 years after spending my summers here as a child and it's why I love helping people buy or sell Long Beach Island NJ real estate. -My name is Laura Dunlap and for years I have helped people buy or sell homes right here in Long Beach Island. Those who know Long Beach Island know that each neighborhood has its own distinct personality. To help people find the right home here, an agent has to know the area just as much as she know her clients. And I make it my mission to get to know the people I work with as well as I know Long Beach Island, the place I know and have been calling home for most of my life. It is my in-depth knowledge of the Long Beach Island communities that makes me more than just a real estate agent, but a partner in helping people buy the house of their dreams or sell their existing property quickly and for the right price. For each of my clients, I promise to work hard, stay in touch, keep them informed, offer honest advice through the entire process, and negotiate the best deal possible. -So whether you're looking to buy or sell Long Beach Island NJ real estate, Manahawkin NJ real estate, or Beach Haven NJ real estate, I would love to help. It could very well be the only thing I love more than the beautiful community that we call home. Contact me today to get started buying or selling Long Beach Island real estate. -Long Beach Island is calling. Can you hear it? With the sound of every crashing wave, another memory is made—another memory, in your new home in Long Beach Island. Whether you're looking to relive your childhood in a Long Beach Island vacation home or you're looking to buy or invest in Long Beach Island, Manahawkin, or Beach Haven NJ real estate; I can help you find the right property for your needs. -Having both bought and rented properties here in Long Beach Island, I look at the market a little differently than most real estate agents. In fact, I consider every person I work with to be a potential neighbor. And in the spirit of being a good neighbor, I will use my wealth of experience and connections to make sure you fully understand the finer details of buying Long Beach Island NJ real estate, Manahawkin NJ real estate, or Beach Haven NJ real estate. -Give me a call today or find out more about buying Long Beach Island real estate. -They say that the three most important things in real estate are location, location, location. But what they neglect to mention is that location is worth very little if you don't intimately know the area and the intricacies of the specific market. So what they could be saying instead is that experience, experience, experience is what it takes to sell Long Beach Island NJ real estate, Manahawkin NJ real estate, and Beach Haven NJ real estate. -And with years of experience helping people sell their Long Beach Island homes, including selling my own here, I understand on a personal level what the key is to selling real estate in Long Beach Island, Manahawkin, and Beach Haven. That key is a solid foundation of trust and the right real estate connections. In fact, I make it a point to maintain a network made up of real estate agents and perspective homebuyers. That way, a potential buyer for your home could very well be just a phone call or email away. -Contact me today or find out more about selling Long Beach Island real estate. -Educational travel is an opportunity for teachers and community leaders to use the world as their classroom. As group leaders, educators lead their students abroad on tours that range in duration from a few days to several weeks. During that time, students can experience many of the things they have read about in textbooks or learned to say in language classes, placing classroom lessons into a real world context. -Who travels on an educational tour? -Typically, educational tours are led by teachers who want to engage their students by taking learning outside the classroom. Group leaders are often high school teachers who teach foreign languages, social studies, art, English and science courses. But anyone who wants to enrich young people’s lives can lead such a tour. Student travelers are typically in high school but can also be in middle school or college. Anyone who wants to learn about the world by experiencing it firsthand can find a place on an educational tour. -What are the benefits for teachers who take students on a tour? -For teachers, the biggest benefit is that they are changing their students’ lives. Many teachers credit their experiences on tour with making them better teachers, and travel can benefit schools as a whole as well. Students who travel often return more confident with a new understanding of the world around them, and their experiences help promote cultural understanding among students and teachers. -What are the benefits for students who go on a tour? -In addition to the life-changing benefits of seeing the world, students who travel on an educational tour can earn credit by completing coursework associated with some of the tours. As more and more colleges expect students to have had international experiences, educational travel enhances students’ college applications and prepares them for a more international higher education experience. Many students have also credited traveling on an educational tour with inspiring them to study abroad and even influencing their career direction. -Rome: Pizza-making – students learn how to make a classic Italian favorite from expert chefs! -Madrid: Flamenco or Fado lessons – students learn the age-old art of the Fado song or the rhythmic steps of flamenco. -London: Globe Theatre Workshop – students practice the dramatic art by reciting the works of Shakespeare and learning about stagecraft. -China: Cultural immersion – students get a glimpse of Chinese culture by visiting a local family for dinner, visiting a school and learning about traditional and modern Chinese medicine with a visit to a local hospital. -Africa: Young Rangers activities – students partake in hands-on activities designed to give them a feel for what life is like in the wilderness. -SPECIALIZED OR MORE GENERAL EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS OF TOURISM? -I am mostly recovered from my marathon month of January finishing Little Shop of Murders. I think it's going to be a fun read.I can't wait for my publisher's feedback on revision suggestions. -We've kicked around some cover art ideas for the new book, and it's exciting to picture it as real. -And BrigaDOOM! About three weeks until we see it in the stores! I am beside myself with excitement. -Meanwhile, I have turned my hat around, and I'm on my way for the promotional part of the process. This will be a real learning curve, but then everything about writing and publishing seems to be that way. -Plus I'm percolating on the next book, my fingers are getting itchy to start. -Washington – The Republican leaders in Congress are distancing themselves from President Donald Trump’s invitation for Vladimir Putin to visit Washington in the fall, saying the Russian president is not welcome on Capitol Hill. -Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have shown no interest in holding meetings with Putin if he accepts Trump’s invitation to the White House to follow up on last week’s summit in Helsinki. -“The speaker and I have made it clear that Putin will not be welcome up here at the Capitol,” McConnell told reporters Tuesday. -But it may not matter anyway. Putin’s foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov threw cold water on the prospect of Putin accepting Trump’s invitation to visit the White House. -Ushakov told journalists in Moscow on Tuesday that no preparations were underway for a meeting in Washington and there were “other options that our leaders could consider,” such as the late November meeting of the Group of 20 in Argentina or another international event that both would attend. -Lawmakers from both parties have raised concerns about Trump’s approach to the Russian leader. They strongly rebuked Trump’s comments during a joint press conference in Helsinki when he stood beside Putin and denied U.S. intelligence findings that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Trump has since clarified his remarks to side with the intelligence community. -“The Russians better quit messing around in our elections,” McConnell said. -If you want a fast cash offer for your house, Matt Buys Houses TX can buy houses in San Antonio, TX...for relaxing getaways in Downtown Austin TX. -Genius combines access to MLS – multiple listing services – throughout Canada, as well as facilitati..for relaxing getaways in Downtown Austin TX. -Red Realty, LLC provides the very best land, residential and commercial real estate services in Murf..for relaxing getaways in Downtown Austin TX. -As a Global Real Estate Advisor with Engel & Völkers, we are happy to tell you that we have a unique..for relaxing getaways in Downtown Austin TX. -We are one of the fastest growing real estate investment companies in Texas, and have help hundreds ..for relaxing getaways in Downtown Austin TX. -Leslie has an excellent track record of success with those buying and selling homes and condos in th..for relaxing getaways in Downtown Austin TX. -We occasionally offer online coupons and other special offers.

This a program also allows you to set multiple timers with sound notifications, while the program runs in the background mode. -When and why did you first join SMART? -I went to the first SMART Summit in 2005 in Marlborough. I was very interested in what they had to say so I joined right then and there. I was always interested in helping animals in any way I can and thought this was a perfect way. I have been volunteering ever since — with just about all the teams in SMART. -I am a Certified Veterinary Technician and also the Veterinary Services Coordinator (in simple terms hospital manager) in the vet hospital at Zoo New England, based at the Franklin Park Zoo. -What is your most heartwarming memory about deploying with SMART? -I have many great memories of my deployments with SMART but I would probably say the most heartwarming was Munson, MA after the tornado in 2011. We were brought a baby rabbit (I would say just a week or so old) and it was very cold and lethargic. We really didn’t think it would survive but I still got up every couple of hours to change the hot water bottles and see how it was doing. Finally in the middle of the night it started to come around and became more aware. I offered it a small amount of formula and it finally ate. The next morning it was taken to a rabbit rehab place and she nursed it back until it could be released. It is the “little” things that make this job great. If you go to the SMART website the first picture that pops up is me holding the bunny the morning after we received it just before it went to the rabbit rehab. -Is there anything unusual that you keep in your Go Kit??? -I don’t think there is anything unusual, but some important things that I have found out about by being deployed are definitely kept in there. One item is a set of kneepads for kneeling on the cement floors while cleaning cages. Another is a pair of shoe inserts that give extra comfort for my feet when I am standing 12 hours or more on a cement floor. The third most helpful thing that I have is my Leatherman (pocket tool kit) — it has come in handy many times. And above all — I do not go anywhere with out my Aleve and several snacks!! -What’s the first thing you do after a deployment to take care of yourself? -I guess the first thing I do is go home and take a long hot shower. Then I play with my cats that are usually unhappy that I have not been home. I usually have to go back to work the next day but sometimes just telling friends and family about my experiences help me to forget about some of the bad times and just relive the happy times and the good that I have helped with. -What would you tell other people about joining SMART? -I would encourage anyone to join. I would tell anyone that the board and the operational team leaders are great people and work very hard to keep this organization working in an organized fashion. The volunteers are a huge help and without them we could not help in as many places as we have been able to. If you love and care for animals and want to help them, then joining SMART is definitely a good start! The trainings are very helpful and even though I have been working in the animal world for 25 plus years I always learn something new in the trainings and deployments. I have met many people by joining SMART that have become great friends and I know when I work and train with them I can count on them to help me learn and stay safe. -SMART would like to thank Sharon for all of her efforts on behalf of animals, both as a volunteer and in her work as a Veterinary Technician. -The Mountain Rescue Association (MRA) is a national volunteer organization dedicated to saving lives through rescue and mountain safety education. The California Region of the Mountain Rescue Association consists of over 20 rescue teams from thoughout the state of California. Majority of the members are unpaid volunteers who are highly trained. Accredited teams must meet the high standards of the MRA and must be re-evaluated every five years in each of the three search and rescue skills: Search and Tracking, Technical Rock, and Snow and Ice. California MRA teams not only respond to search and rescue operations in the unit's area of responsibility, but will also respond to mutual aid calls anywhere in the state to assist other agencies. -March 1st, 2019 - 1700 to 2400, Friday Night, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, In the Graceland A conference room. -March 2nd, 2019 – Team Leaders and Evaluators Only Briefing @ 0600 Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Graceland A conference room, Teams must be ready to deploy from staging. -Snow & Ice Reaccreditation hosted by Douglas County Search and Rescue. -[Effect of lycopene on proliferation and cell cycle of hormone refractory prostate cancer PC-3 cell line]. -OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of lycopene on proliferation of human prostate cancer cell line PC-3 and explore its effecting mechanism. METHODS: The proliferation of PC-3 cells were analyzed by MTT and H3-TdR incorporation. The effects of cell cycle and apoptosis of synchronized cells were observed through flow cytometry. RT-PCR methods were used to explore the mRNA expression level of cyclin D1, bcl-2, bax. RESULTS: The growth and DNA synthesis of PC-3 cell were inhibited with the lycopene concentration increased, and lycopene also could change the cell cycle distribution, i. e. increasing the proportion of G0/G1 phase and descending the proportion of S and G2/M phase, and induce the apoptosis. RT-PCR analysis showed that the mRNA expression level of cyclin D1 and bcl-2 were down regulated, while the level of bax was up regulated. CONCLUSION: Lycopene can induce apoptosis of PC-3, change the cell cycle distribution and downregulate the expression of cyclin D1 and bcl-2 and upregulate the expression of bax and then restrain cell proliferation. -here are some very nice perks to the holiday season that don’t have anything to do with gifts or shaving your legs less. One of them is the opportunity to get bold with your makeup. Really bold. After all, summertime is when you want to look dewy, fresh, and minimal….with the searing heat, you don’t want piles of carefully applied makeup on your face. Winter, however, is a time to experiment and go as big and brash as you want. The holidays by nature call for a little more glitter, glam, and shine. You want to look your best under the mistletoe! -This eye color look is pure decadence and drama, and calls for little more than a steady hand and a great eye shadow palette. (Oh, and loads of mascara or some lush falsies.) Try this look with a flirty holiday dress and you’ll look as fashionable on the outside as you feel on the inside. -I like the POP Beauty Pretty Punk Eyeshadow Palette ($10)…all the pretty colors in one place. -Begin by prepping the entire lid with a light Highlighter shade. I like to use a pale cream or muted white color with a little sparkle. -Move towards the brow bone with a darker plum shade, blending in well with the purple and black as you go. Top the plum shadow with a lighter magenta shade, but without going over the brow bone. Only highlighter should be on the brow bone. -Blend all the colors lightly and seamlessly so they appear to flow into one another, but you should still be able to see each color. Add a rim of teal eyeliner or shadow to the inner corner/rim of the eye, as well as the bottom lash line. -Top it all off with several heavy sweeps of mascara or false lashes. -I, Han Kim, was given the task of updating the design of our APSU GIS website. From first glance, the website looks great, and looks like something any business owner may be proud of, but the goal is to make a simple, clean, user-friendly experience. This is where I had the opportunity to transfer the WordPress skills I’ve learned from school and my freelance work to optimize a site with UX design as a priority. That was the goal, but how do we go about achieving this goal? -First is to identify who your target market is and what is the main purpose of the website. Our target market is our past GIS clients, and new business clients looking for GIS solutions.

This ranking is by far one of the most authentic. What does the recently released college rankings show us about our education system? -If you first look at the drawbacks of this particular measuring system, you can see that the rankings are based more on the type and number of students admitted by the colleges rather than on the quality of education they impart. -Over the past few years, there is a complete change of algorithm. All said and done, even today, these rankings are all about selectivity and prestige. So, what are the measures taken to compile the ranking? -For one, the magazine takes a faculty survey to determine academic reputation of colleges. Next, based on applicant percentage admitted into the college and their SAT scores, the magazine then determines the level of the institution’s admissions selectivity. Other factors taken into account include graduation rates, admission and retention rates and financial resources. -Logically it follows that if institutions want to climb the ranks, they must reject more applicants, increase SAT benchmarks and attract better students. In the process, most of them are forced to increase tuition too. -Playing the numbers game perfectly, many institutions recently have gained the status of high risers. For instance, the George Washington University, through the 2000s, was successful in lowering admission rates from 49 to 33 per cent, built posh dorms and jacked its tuition. These measures led the college to be ranked 54 this year from being unranked. -Today, the University of Richmond is ranked 30 from being unranked in the national liberal arts ranking. This feat was achieved by the institution by lowering its admit rate to 31% from previous 48% and by increasing tuition rate by 31% in 2004-2005. -As compared to any other area where competition naturally benefits customers with companies vying with each other to offer many benefits and to attract more. In the field of higher education, sadly, competition means maximizing market share by serving only customers who can pay. -Colleges continue to build more amenities for students. This in turn leads to a situation where they restrict access based on choosing students who can pay for the said amenities. Colleges continue to remain selective especially after they start rising in rankings as naturally, they are in demand. -In the long run, families and students are the ones who lose. This is a game where colleges definitely prosper and many of them are also able to achieve their goal which by far is nothing more than rising in the US News rankings. -Some of the smaller liberal arts colleges feature on top of the list which also ranked Harvard at 6th place. A depressing fact is that the 75 per cent bench mark was met only by 98 out of 3,100 four-year colleges in our country. -One of the biggest blunders we continue to commit here is to define best colleges based not on the quality of education they impart to students but solely on those that enrol the best students who can assure return-on-investment. The focus for good colleges should be not on rankings but on giving opportunities for 96% of our students who go elsewhere. -ERP, CRM, BPM Or BI SOFTWARE? -for your SME and budget. -Easy-to-use, modular ERP / business software customized for your SME and budget. -Complete and powerful ERP software for medium-large production & steel trade companies. -Complete and powerful ERP software for medium-large production and/or steel trade companies. -Complete and affordable business software for any type of drink and/or wine store. -We create added value with a wide range of professional personal services tailored to your needs. -improves your business performance.

I’ve tested this product for good 2 months. Since I tested this Anti Pigmentation Cream fro Jan end, I can tell you how it fares in both seasons – summer and winter. Be ready for a detailed review of this product! -First, a little background on my skin – I’ve dry combination skin. My t-zone is super oily especially my nose and my cheeks & forehead usually run dry. My skin is super sensitive and acne & blemish prone. I am prone to cystic acne as well (will talk about how I conquered cystic acne in another post). -P.S. Always keep in mind even if you & I have similar skin, what worked for me might not work for you. -The pure ingredients like organic daisy flowers extract have been integrated efficaciously to provide an even pigmentation and prevent melanin synthesis so effectively that you will have your skin turning visibly softer and glowing. A natural remedy for pigmented skin, age spot, blemishes, sunburn and tanned skin, this anti-pigmentation cream possesses the benefit of a full-fledged treatment, which clarifies the skin while averting the appearance of any future discoloration, thus, leaving the skin fresh and youthful. -Aqua, Organic Daisy Flower Extract, White Mulberry Extract and Vitamin – C in Cream base. -I usually apply a moisturizer first on my cleansed face then apply this cream in night. Topped it with facial oil during winters. I don’t apply it in day time (along with night time) as mentioned by brand cos’ the product contains Vitamin C in it. Vitamin C makes skin sensitive to sun, even though I apply sunscreen I wanted to be on a safer side. The sun is anyway too harsh in India. -My first impression of this cream was that it felt dry & stretchy on my skin. It felt too stretchy in applying the cream as it finish in matte. Keep in mind it was during the Jan end, peak winter, when I tried it for the first time. So I started to apply facial oil after applying this cream. But during application it still felt stretchy so I started to apply a moisturizer before slathering this cream on. Since it was winter, I could get away with so much layering. No I didn’t face any acne breakout. -After a month’s use, I did observe that my fresh acne scars (I had an acne breakout as a reaction to stage makeup) were fading very lightly. The appearance of lil’ pores on my upper cheeks seemed to even out after applying the cream. But didn’t see any effect of any sort on my previous acne spots and the discoloration. I know for a fact that anti pigmentation creams take time working on old scars and discoloration. So I was ready to be patient with it. -After two month’s of use of Organic Harvest Anti Pigmentation Cream, the fresh scars faded a lot. I noticed an overall brightening on face. But nothing on the discoloration around mouth areas (if it lessened, it’s like barely noticeable). Old acne scars were still there with very very slight fading (it can also be cos’ I started being somewhat consistent with my skincare). However, overall appearance of pores seemed to be better even in tropical hot March in India. -Fades new acne scars significantly in two month’s time. -Pores seemed to look evened out. -Does give an overall brightening effect. -No to very very slight fading on old acne scars. -No effect on slight discoloration/pigmentation around mouth. -Dry skinned beauties might need a moisturizer along with it. -Good for oily skinned beauties as it is mattifying. -Doesn’t clog pores nor does cause any acne breakout. -Decent cream to use in night time. -Disclaimer – The product was sent to me by PR for review purposes but the review is 100% honest. Real Girl Talks will always keep it real with you, there’s no place for bs here! -That stuff sounds so good. I want to use it now. -Thanks for sharing babe! I suffer from pigmentation issues after acne scarring and definitely want to try this product out! -Great post, thanks for sharing. Sounds like a cool product! -OMG this stuff sounds amazing! Need to try it! -I’m glad it worked partially for you – although it didn’t work on older marks it’s nice it worked on the newer ones. Definitely something you’d have to consistently use to get the benefits from! -Good to know it works in dealing with new acne scars. Thanks for sharing your review dear! -That is a not-so-bad rating at all. Lots of positive things said. Thanks for your honest review. Helps a lot. -Happy Easter and Sunday to you beautiful. -Omg this sounds sooo amazing!! I have terrible hyper-pigmentation, so this would be super handy! -i need to try this! got so many red marks on my skin, and i love that it’s organic! -It seems like it takes awhile, but with consistent use you will get results. Thanks for the honest review. -I didn’t even know there was anything like this out there!! Sounds wonderful!! -Thanks for the review. I never used anything like this before. -Thanks for your thoughts on this, babe! I love hearing about new products! -I wish this scar lightener is available in the Philippines. -I adore natural, paraben free cosmetics. This sounds really good! -It sounds like a great product, I’ll have to check it out! Thanks for sharing! -Sounds like something my oily skin would like. I have had the same experience with Vitamin C products, they work much better on fresh scars than on older ones. No clue why. -I haven’t heard of this brand before but this product sounds really nice, glad it helped with the overall brightening! -Maybe I should try this product as I have some discolouration too. Thanks for the honest review! -Sounds like a great product hun! Thanks for the review. -Sounds like a decent cream and with a reasonable price tag too. Good that you saw some differences albeit small ones. -Hello! My name is Irina. I live in the city of Minsk, Belarus. I love my family. My main muse is my Shih Tzu dog named Sophie.

It was listed in their Top 10 Rules to Break for weddings. Do you need a wedding photographer? We are wedding photographers and we should be telling you yes, but it really is up to you and what you want to invest in for the future. -If you are just thinking about facebook and social media, you will get a ton of photos from your friends taking photos off of their phone. The photos could be good or they could be a terrible mess. Even the casual hobby photographer can come away with a terrible mess on a wedding day with their camera. -A wedding photographer is skilled at their position and they know what to expect going into a wedding. They are prepared for any situation and will be able to capture it with their gear. If the lighting is not right for a cell phone to take the photo, the photographer will have the proper gear to capture the moment. -When you book a photographer, they are their to piece together the whole event as an art form. It won't be a couple of snap shots off of a phone, but it will be beautiful work put together from throughout the day. -Your wedding is only going to happen once and it goes by so fast that you will want someone to be able to capture every single piece of it. All the planning that has been done for that day and it is over in an instant. -Raised by his aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas) since he was a young boy, charismatic 15-year-old John Lennon (Aaron Johnson) is suddenly reunited with his mother, Julia (Anne-Marie Duff), which ignites a bitter battle between the two sisters for John's affections.

Regardless of the system’s size, they all have to meet one requirement: to be precise. To meet quality requirements, continued development of aspheric production and the trend towards miniaturization demand for faster and more accurate measuring methods. Measurement of the complex surfaces of aspheres is still challenging. Different measuring methods are used depending on measuring task and speed as well as surface structure. Among others, a distinction is made between non-contact and tactile measurement. The basic principle of measuring aspheric components during production based on tactile measuring methods is presented in the following. -Why do we need measurement technology? -Measurement technology plays a significant role in the production of precision optics. asphericon manufactures aspheric optics by means of CNC-controlled technologies from almost all available glass types, but also from plastics, metal and crystals (for example, CaF2, germanium, silicon). Accurate knowledge of shape and surface form deviation of the lens is necessary in each processing step to optimize the production process. With a growing demand on optics (not only for asphericon), there is also an increasing demand for production-oriented measurement technology. -The surface geometry of an asphere deviates from a sphere, but it is still rotationally symmetric. Through the rotation of the lens during machining (Fig.1), grinding tools leave rotationally symmetric structures on unfinished lenses. For the grinding process, it usually is sufficient in sense of the measuring technique to monitor the surface contour to optimize the next working step. The advantage of this simple measurement is, among other things, a short measuring time, which contributes to the optimization of the entire processing time. -In addition to measurement tasks and process steps, as already mentioned, a distinction is made between different measurement methods. In the following, we will only discuss the tactile measurement methods by means of an exemplary presentation of various devices. This type of measurement technique is based on scanning of object surfaces, for example with ruby contact points. -The simplest way to determine the shape of a rotationally symmetric object is to determine the surface contour. A so-called profilometer (Fig. 2) is used for this purpose. With aid of a ruby tip, which probes the measuring object in a straight line across the zenit and records the deflection of the contact point in z-direction perpendicular to its track. -Fig. 3 shows a sample protocol of a tactile measurement. To determine this deflection, a constant measuring force is required, pressing the probe onto the lens as well a stiff probe system. Profilometers are used between two steps of the grinding process, since possible damage caused by the ruby tip can be removed in further manufacturing steps. -A more complex form of tactile measuring devices are 3D coordinate measuring systems (Fig. 4). These can also be used for measuring aspheres. The measuring object is traced with a probe tip whose position is determined via 3 measuring axes in Cartesian coordinates. The measurement of rotationally symmetric test objects done with a form tester uses cylinder coordinates, therefore the form tester is equipped with a highly precise axis of rotation, the so-called C-axis. -Fig 5. shows an exemplary measuring curve of a form tester MarForm MFU 200 Aspheric 3D. After initializing the measurement, to determine the zenith of the measuring object, a straight measurement is performed along the largest radius. This measurement is executed in tracking mode. Therefore, a constant pressure is used to guide the tip along the profile and record the change of the z coordinate. -Besides profile measurements, form tester can be used for diverse applications such as determination of roundness, cylindricity and run. -The use of tactile measuring methods within the polishing process allows a relatively rapid knowledge of the surface contour of lenses. On the other hand, a decisive disadvantage is the possible damage of the lens surface by the probe. Any damage that may occur, however, could possibly be removed in later work steps. The resolution capability depends directly on the radius of the probe tip, which acts as a low-pass filter. Structures which are significantly smaller than the probe tip cannot be detected correctly (see detailed view in Fig. 2). Highly curved lenses can also lead to limitations of the measuring accuracy due to the steep slope. -If the advantages of tactile metrology methods are not sufficient, it is worth looking at optical measuring devices. Regardless of what should be measured, measuring task and measuring instrument have to be coordinated well in each case. The selection of the measuring method, tactile or optical, is therefore never either one or the other. The different procedures can and should be used complementary. We are going to discuss optical measurement methods with their advantages and disadvantages in a separate article. -The Kearny Mesa Swimming Pool is now much more inviting for disabled visitors. -Crews striped extra-wide parking spots to accommodate vans for the disabled, and a ramp was added for those who can’t climb the stairs. -Locker rooms have been gutted to widen restroom, shower and dressing stalls for wheelchair users. The outdoor shower area has been rebuilt to eliminate a step, and easy-to-turn handles will be installed on doors. -Throughout San Diego, a growing number of public buildings and streets are getting retrofitted as the city steps up spending to tackle a backlog of projects to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. -San Diego used to spend about $1.5 million a year on such projects. Now it’s spending $10 million more per year on curb cuts, ramps, audible signals and detectable warning tiles at street intersections, among other improvements to remove barriers to access. -Mayor Jerry Sanders has committed to spending the additional $50 million over five years to improve access, in part by allocating proceeds from the sales of surplus city properties. -“Before the mayor came into the office, we were just doing a trickle of projects. We are doing a lot of projects now,” said David Jarrell, deputy chief operating officer for public works. -Advocates for the disabled said the improvements would help cut down the city’s liability. Cities across the country have been sued for failure to improve access. San Diego was sued in 1997 by disabled residents who claimed they had been denied equal access to Qualcomm Stadium. The lawsuit was settled after the city agreed to spend $5.25 million to equip the stadium with new elevators, ramps, parking spaces and seating. -Bill Harris, a Sanders’ spokesman, said the desire to do the right thing – not legal exposure – drove the mayor’s commitment to ADA compliance. “It’s not about avoiding litigation. It’s about ensuring equal access,” Harris said. -According to the city, more than 500 curb ramps were installed in the past two years. About $19 million of projects are in design stages and an additional $4 million in jobs are under construction. -Facilities being retrofitted range from police stations and recreation centers to branch libraries and teen centers. -Cindi Jones, director of the Center for an Accessible Society in San Diego, said improvements have been made, but the city still has a long way to go. She uses a scooter and her husband uses a wheelchair. -In South Park, where she and her husband have lived for 30 years, a curb cut was installed on their block about a year ago, Jones noted. She’s looking forward to more curb cuts in her neighborhood. -The city’s former disability services coordinator, Linda Woodbury, had said the city needed to spend $500 million on ADA compliance, but the mayor’s office has disputed that figure. Woodbury was fired in 2006, a day after Sanders first proposed spending $50 million more on access projects. The city later settled a wrongful termination suit. -Louis Frick, executive director of Access to Independence in San Diego, said the access features benefit society as a whole. -“You see people all the time with baby strollers, delivery truck drivers, where they are using the curb cuts to get up and down the sidewalks,” he said. -Wilkinson WE, Cauble LA, Patel VL.

Someone had mistakenly copied and pasted PE under past medical history, and the error was carried forward for years. -A woman with end-stage renal disease, who often skipped dialysis sessions, was admitted to the hospital with fever and given intravenous opiates for pain. Because her permanent arteriovenous graft was clotted, she had been receiving dialysis via a temporary femoral catheter, increasing her risk for infection.

And to the delight of the nearly sold-out crowd, Costello did them all them well. -Over a career of more than 40 years, singer Elvis Costello has been a punk provocateur, a seminal new wave voice, a contemporary pop singer and even a classic crooner. And there have been fans of each of Costello’s career ventures. -So how to satisfy everyone coming to see Costello kick off the North American leg of his latest tour at Sands Bethlehem Event Center to support yet another venture – his very strong new disc “Look Now”? -On Friday, Costello did his best to do just that, playing a two-hour, 25-song show that touched on phases throughout his career, both deep cuts and hits, as well as nine of the new disc’s 12 songs. -And to the delight of the nearly sold-out crowd, Costello did them all well – not afraid to revisit not only the songs of his earlier career, but also carrying the spirit of them into the newer songs. -Perhaps after surviving cancer surgery that canceled the end of his European leg, the 64-year-old Costello was emboldened, or re-invigorated. -Either way, his performance, and voice, was stronger than when he played the Sands in 2016. -Backed by a crack three-man band and two female singers, Costello opened the show with “This Year’s Girl” from his 1978 sophomore disc, “This Year’s Model,” with its swirling synth reviving that new wave sound. -He followed that with two 1980s deeper cuts: a forceful “Honey, Are You Straight or Are You Blind,” and “Clubland,” with Costello’s ‘70s rocking edge. On the latter, Costello even held a finger to his nose to hush the crowd as he played a scrubbing lead and sang with a “Watching the Detectives” affect. -Later offerings from the new disc were even better. The disc’s new single “Under Lime” had very much that 1977 vibe that ushered in new wave. “Why Won’t Heaven Help Me” was pretty rocking. The slow guitar-and-piano “Stripping Paper” was a clear reminder or the Elvis of old, and the slow, sensitive “Suspect My Tears” had some of his best vocals of the night, as he reached for a falsetto. -Early in the show, the older songs Costello played were nearly all deeper cuts: “New Lace Sleeves” from 1981’s “Trust”; a rocking, new-wavey “(I Don’t Want to Go To) Chelsea,” with good lead guitar. -So that when he did play a hit – his 1977 U.S. breakthrough “Watching the Detectives,” (in the same darkened-stage presentation as the last time he was at the Sands) it got a huge crowd reaction – and deservedly so. -Costello later did the same with later songs: A largely voice-and-acoustic guitar version of 1986’s “Indoor Fireworks” to a big cheer from the crowd, and closed the main set with a faster, more rocking “Can You Hear Me” from his last disc, 2013’s “Wise Up Ghost” that segued right into the hit “Pump It Up,” thumping, urgent and rocking. -Costello’s encore stretched eight songs and 40 minutes. -It opened with one of the night’s best: a barely instrumented, mostly a cappella “Allison,” with his two female backup singers. It got a huge cheer. Then a stark and spare, piano-and-voice “Accidents Will Happen,” on which he reached for a high and powerful end note. -He used that same vocal approach on “I Still Have That Other Girl,” which he also wrote with Bacharach, – really singing it --and paired that with a new Bacharach co-write, “He’s Given Me Things,” from the new disc. -Costello flubbed the start of that song slightly, and after saying “this is the first night,” re-started it dramatically better. He followed that with another early deeper cut, “Green Shirt,” which started stripped, then built as the crowd clapped along. -And then a six-minute version of his 1979 hit “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding,” with a wonderful chorus coda. -That completed Costello’s journey of giving everyone what they wanted. The fact that he could do that, and do it as well as he did, shows how important Costello’s music has been, and how much he still has left. -Which of our packages are you interested in? -All Estimates are completely free and no obligation.

Robeco’s latest Private Equity Engagement Report concludes that fund managers in the company’s private equity ESG Program have taken further steps to embrace ESG factors and integrate them into their investment processes. -“If we look at the activities of PE fund managers in the last year, we can conclude that ESG factors have become further integrated into their investment process.”, states the report in its introduction. Recommendations by the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures, the adoption of the European Commission’s Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth and the publication of a guidance document on ESG Monitoring, Reporting and Dialogue in Private Equity by PRI suggest that this positive trend will continue. -In the twelfth edition of the ESG Engagement Report1 Robeco Private Equity documents the activities of PE managers that are part of its ESG Engagement Program. -2017 was a year in which General partners (GPs) continued to strengthen their ESG integration in investment, monitoring and reporting practices which has translated into stable overall ESG scores. -The average ESG score for the 63 fund managers that participated in last year’s survey was 69%, compared to 66% in 2016 and 59% in 2015. Meanwhile, the median ESG score stands at 69%, versus 69% in 2016 and 64% in 2015. These figures indicate that most fund managers now have functioning ESG frameworks in place. -The results are based on an annual assessment by Robeco Private Equity that uses a reporting and assessment tool developed by the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). A growing number of investors in the private equity world are now signing up to the PRI and its goals. -The reputational risk of private equity portfolio companies monitored by Robeco Private Equity remains relatively low. The analysis of ESG-related news stories and alerts by RepRisk2 shows that the majority were not involved in any ESG-related incidents. Those that received negative media attention experienced relatively low impact and coverage. To increase awareness of ESG issues and encourage better communication, Robeco Private Equity continuously engages with fund managers whose portfolio companies have had to deal with incidents. -In their role of active owner of portfolio companies and the extended control this entails (compared to public companies), the PE managers are in a good position to promote the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs3). -In 2017 the number of PE fund managers that committed to contributing to these SDGs increased further. In terms of the contribution to specific goals, most portfolio companies contributed to SDG 7 and SDG 12, which relate to sustainable energy and sustainable consumption and production. -Despite the increasing focus on SDGs, the report also recognizes that SDG-related and impact reporting is still in its infancy and most of the managers first need to develop consistent ESG reporting frameworks. -An analysis of how PE managers currently manage climate-related risks and opportunities also indicated that half of the respondents have already incorporated climate-related risks and opportunities into their investment strategy and process in some way. In addition, 38% of the fund managers have integrated their process for climate-related risks into their overall risk management. -However, only 24% of managers currently engage with their portfolio companies to encourage better disclosure and practices relating to climate-related risks. The survey results also showed that only about one-fifth of managers currently use emission data or analysis in investment decision-making. These percentages show clear potential for improvement. -Robeco Private Equity’s ESG Engagement program, introduced in 2014, aims to encourage private equity fund managers to implement ESG best practices in their investment process. Through its ESG activities, which have been recognized by the PRI with an A+ rating, Robeco Private Equity aims to draw the attention of PE managers to ESG issues and assist them in their efforts. -As part of the program, private equity fund managers undergo an annual ESG assessment which serves as input for dialogue on potential improvements. Robeco Private Equity’s ESG engagement program strives to contribute to improving the risk-reward characteristics of client portfolios and enhance the added value of private equity fund managers. -1 Please note that we have changed the year referencing in the title of our annual ESG engagement report. The data that fund managers reported to us relate to the end of calendar year 2017, but the report was written and published in 2018. Henceforth the year of publication will therefore be recorded in the title of our annual ESG reports. -2 RepRisk, a leading business intelligence provider specialized in environmental, social and governance risk analytics to monitor the reputational risk of portfolio investments. -3 SDGs represent the global sustainability agenda for 2030 and provide a systematic framework for dealing with the most pressing social and environmental challenges globally. -, we choices the very best choices along with best quality simply for you, and now this photos is one of photographs selections inside our finest pictures gallery in relation to Free Resume Templates Samples.

They wanted to explore a spiritual connection to nature, find a higher kinship with the living breathing world and honor their ancestral roots. Soon they began exploring Pagan belief systems and the tenets of Druidism resounded so strongly they knew they had found their way home. -Looking to tie their newfound spiritual journey into their modern American lives they reached out to likeminded individuals to share their journey with and found a supportive, loving and kind community. -Cead míle fáilte!

Men rushed wounded children to overcrowded emergency rooms in Sadr City hospitals, on foot because of a ban on all vehicular traffic. In some parts of Sadr City, masked militiamen bearing machine guns and grenade launchers remained on the streets. -Officials at local hospitals have put the death toll in the neighborhood at more than 70 since Sunday, but it was not clear if those figures included militia fighters. -Thousands of Sadr City residents have fled for other neighborhoods. Prices in local markets were soaring as supplies dwindled, a result of suppliers' inability to bring in goods. Iraqi and U.S. forces appeared to be penetrating deeper into the neighborhood, one local journalist said. -There were no signs that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was pulling back on his offensive against Shiite militias, which has sparked fighting between Iraqi and U.S. forces and militiamen loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Al-Maliki's deadline for fighters to hand in heavy weapons expired Tuesday, but the latest clashes showed that rocket-propelled grenades, mortars, and rockets remained in militia hands. -Baghdad had spent part of yesterday quieter than in recent days, because of a curfew imposed to prevent clashes and protests marking the anniversary of the fall of Saddam Hussein on April 9, 2003. -Al-Sadr had called for a huge march in Baghdad to mark the anniversary of Hussein's ouster and to protest the U.S. presence and al-Maliki's offensive. The cleric says the offensive, which began March 25 in the southern city of Basra, is targeting his Mahdi Army and is a ploy to cripple his political movement in advance of provincial elections planned for October. -His fighters have risen up against Iraqi and U.S. forces, virtually collapsing a cease-fire that al-Sadr announced last August and that was credited with bringing a sharp drop in violence nationwide. -Although U.S. and Iraqi officials maintain that they are targeting criminal elements or "special groups" that did not abide by al-Sadr's truce, U.S. Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker acknowledged yesterday that the Basra offensive had drawn in others. -"A dangerous development in the immediate wake of the Basra operation was what appeared to be a reunification between special groups and JAM," he told lawmakers in Washington, using the acronym for al-Sadr's militia. -Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, gave lawmakers their assessments of the war during two days of hearings in Washington that ended yesterday. -The surge in troop deaths since the Basra offensive has underscored their contention that security gains witnessed in recent months easily could be reversed. At least 30 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the Basra operation began, most in Baghdad; at least 19 have died in Iraq so far this month, representing the highest daily average since last September. -The deaths announced yesterday brought to at least 4,031 the number of U.S. troops to die in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. Brief military statements said three of the soldiers died in roadside bomb blasts: two in northeastern Baghdad and one east of the city. Two others died of "non-combat" injuries, statements said, giving no other details. -5 Min walk to train & bus stops,linking you to Glasgow & Paisley. -All prices plus vat except mot. -Service prices are dependant on cost of parts and lubricants on certain makes & models. -London-based artist Sam Smith presents Notes (2014), a live video essay performance in which a constellation of poor images are brought together into a stream of collaged audio-visual vignettes. Fragmented scenes draw together key reference points from Smith's practice including the mediation of object via the camera eye's flattening gaze; the cinematic framing of landscape; and, through architecture, an audience's complicity in the projection image. -For KW's *Chora*, Smith incorporates targeted satellite imagery, text overlays, and subtle software interventions to open up new connections inside his shifting archive of sampled material. From a central computer, the combination of data is beamed onto a site-specific architectural screen, where layered surfaces push rectilinear footage into three-dimensional relationships. By deploying the windowed environment of the Mac operating system, and re-purposing the functionality for which it was created, the artist constitutes a post-cinema, hyperlinked apparatus. -Sam Smith currently lives and works between London and Sydney. From 2013 to 2014 he was part of the International Studio Programme at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin. Recent solo projects include **Notes on the Apparatus** selected by Vdrome for the Artists' Film Biennial, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2014); **Frames of Reference**, a solo exhibtion at The Royal Standard as part of their Liverpool Biennial 2014 program (2014); and **Form Variations** at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin (2014). -The event is kindly supported by the Australian Embassy, Berlin. -I have been busy baking Christmas cookies for the last couple of days. This is one of the first ones I did. It is a butter sugar cookie that you can flavor anyway you like and color anyway you like. I had intended to make these redder than they are but after about 10 drops of food coloring in them I decided that was enough. When I make these again I will use paste food coloring to get a deeper more intense color like a Christmas red. I like pink and green together so it worked for me. Store these in an airtight container and they should last for days. -Confused as to what type of butter, shortening or margarine to use and does it make a difference? You bet it does. Vegetable shortening, margarine and butter in some recipes are interchangeable. Ask most experienced bakers, though, and they will tell you that one of their secret weapons is plain, pure butter. Butter serves several purposes in cookie baking, it tenderizes and conveys the flavor of the cookie. -Compare the difference between a shortbread cookie and that of biscotti. Shortbread cookies seem to almost melt in your mouth, where as biscotti has a much lower butter content and are hard and crunchy. If a cookie recipe calls for butter, I’d use the butter, especially in cookies where butter is the flavor of the cookie. On the other hand cookies such as Molasses or gingerbread, I wouldn’t hesitate to use shortening. Do not use “reduced fat” or whipped butter products when you bake cookies, they can contain up to 58% water. -You want the cookies to spread more: Use all butter or add 1 to 2 tablespoons liquid (water, milk or cream) or use a low-protein flour such as bleached all-purpose (but not one that is chlorinated) or add 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar. -You want the cookies to spread less: Cut the sugar by a few tablespoons or add 1/4-1/2 cup additional flour. -You want the cookies to have a chewy quality: Melt the butter instead of simply using it at room temperature. -Brightly colored Christmas Pinwheel Cookies are perfect on the holiday cookie tray. -In your mixer bowl combine butter and powdered sugar. When combined add the egg and flavoring. -Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Divide dough in half. -Add food coloring of choice to each half. Fold the dough over and over until it is mixed in. -Take a tablespoon of each dough and put together to form a ball. Roll the dough into a long snake about 6 inches long. Starting at one end roll the dough into a cylinder. Dip the edges into the sprinkles and place on a greased baking sheet. -Bake for about 8 minutes. Do not overbake. Let set on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes when the cookies come out of the oven. Remove to a wire rack to cool. -Would you like to try another recipe? -To begin with you may grant with all the wall art decoration.

Two chandeliers adorn the main room, complimented by brick walls and a glass bar that doubles as a retail counter. -Sean Heywood, right, and Kumi Walker own MR., a barbershop and wine bar in San Francisco, California. -This is not your typical barbershop. -And that has always been the vision of owners Kumi Walker and Sean Heywood. -"We are literally trying to create a new version of the country club golf experience. But we're replacing golf with haircuts, and we're putting it in urban environments," says Heywood. -MR. (for mister) is their first business venture. It's an upscale barbershop, wine bar and lounge in the financial district of San Francisco where memberships cost $65 to $250 a month. In addition to the basic services, those who become members benefit from exclusive services like golf putting clinics and human resource workshops. -"We're trying to thrive, not just survive," Heywood said. -MR. takes the cultural aspect of the black barbershop experience and modernizes it, making it a place where businesspeople of all races can network. -The two entrepreneurs are bridging a cultural divide, and also giving back to the community. They offer free lifetime memberships to MR. to those in good standing with a re-entry program called Back on Track. -Among other things, Back on Track offers first-time, low-level criminal offenders GED preparation, tutoring, money-management instruction and job training and placement. And that's where MR. steps in. The membership provides them with one free haircut, trim, and shoeshine monthly. -"We'll take care of their grooming so that they don't have to. And they're ready for all the different jobs that they pursue going forward," Walker says. -Giving back is paramount for the entrepreneurs. And the story of one black business district in Tulsa, Oklahoma, inspires them. It was known as Black Wall Street, and it was destroyed in a race riot and fire 88 years ago. -"All of the businesses that we wanted to create, we wanted to encompass the culture of, if that community still existed today, what it would look like," says Walker, who says he read about the riot six years ago. -Imagine a credit union, a barbershop, a library, and men in freshly pressed suits with top hats sauntering on sidewalks. The melodic sounds of jazz flow into the streets from several nightclubs. A thriving community of black-owned businesses serve their clientele across a 42-block area. -That was the community that existed in the segregated neighborhood of Greenwood from 1830 to 1921. -But on the evening of May 31, 1921, white mobs entered Greenwood with torches and guns. Black residents gathered to protect a young man accused of assaulting a white woman. When the smoke from fires cleared on June 1, more than 1,000 homes, businesses and other institutions were burned or destroyed, according to the report of the Oklahoma Commission to Study the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921. -Sound off: What challenges do black entrepreneurs face? -iReport.com: How would you make black America better? -"People came and said, 'Run, they are shooting people,' " says Wess Young, who was 4 then. "We evacuated. They were destroying everything." -The death toll has been debated for years, because many victims were dumped in mass graves. An American Red Cross estimate puts the total at 300, much higher than the 36 reported by local officials. -The riot devastated the social underpinnings of the Greenwood community and leveled a black economic force. Greenwood was rebuilt, but it never recovered. -"It was a really tragic end to thriving businesses. I think we'd be a lot further ahead had that area been able to continue to thrive," says Walker. -Wess Young and his family rebuilt their lives in Tulsa. When asked what he thought America would be like if the Tulsa race riot had not happened, he answers without hesitation, "We would have had a black president before now. ... He has done a good job, but we [blacks are] still in a box." -His advice to people is to let go of the past once they've learned from it. -"Hate will destroy your whole universe -- got to learn how to forgive, but never forget," Young says. -Walker says these stories of black struggle and survival motivate him. -"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors," he says. "I just want to be as successful as possible so I can turn around and be mentors and sponsors to other people who come after me." -Finally I get to feature The Kandy Devil ! -Tech infos via Kustom Life Magazine, Dec 2017. -PS: The KD has suffered a bit of an incident and it's back at Tristan's for a few touch ups.

Transfer nuts to a plate and set aside. -3. Melt butter in a medium saucepan until it turns brown and begins to smoke, 3-4 minutes. Remove immediately from heat, add nutmeg, and set aside. -4. Place a pasta sheet on a lightly floured work surface. Spoon mounds of filling on the sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart (the number of mounds you make will depend on the size of the pasta sheets you use). Lightly mist the mounds with a spray mister filled with water, then place a second pasta sheet over the first, covering the filling mounds, and pressing firmly around the edges and between the mounds to seal. Using a fluted cutting wheel or knife, cut between the rows of ravioli. Repeat with remaining sheets of pasta and filling. -5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. To serve, reheat the browned butter. Drain ravioli and place in warmed serving bowl. Toss with butter, sprinkle with hazelnuts and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Garnish with sage leaves and serve immediately. -Inspired by Williams-Sonoma Seasonal Celebration: Autumn, by Joanne Weir (Time-Life Books, 1997). -How Do You Remove Calcium From Your Swimming Pool? -If you have a swimming pool in the Las Vegas area you are going to have to remove calcium from it. Even though calcium is great for strong bones and teeth, the same can’t be said about your swimming pool. If you live in our area you should be familiar with the fact that our fill water is loaded with calcium and other hardness minerals which can destroy numerous different things in your household. Over time, calcium scales your decorative faucets, plugs up shower heads and causes stains/water spots on the sinks and surfaces of your house. It can be extremely difficult to get rid of and ultimately extremely expensive when you need to replace them around your house. But, with all that said, have you thought about what this calcium will do to your swimming pool? -In the southwest, our water comes from the Colorado River which winds its way through the Grand Canyon. This area is loaded with calcium, magnesium and any other hardness minerals (limestone) you can think of which means that over time you will have to deal with hard water in your swimming pool too. As you fill your swimming pool with this hard water (typically 400 parts per million and higher) it will build up in concentration. Please note, as water evaporates the hardness minerals remain in solution and increase in concentration. When this happens, the scale will come visible on the tile, interior finish of the pool and filtration equipment. As the calcium continues to plate itself on the surfaces of the swimming pool it will inevitably cause more and more damages, not to mention, destroys the lifespan of your investment. That’s why at Clark County Pool & Lawn we recommend changing out the water in your swimming pool every two years! -By using our filtration it is a service that can be performed 365 days a year because the interior finish of the swimming pool isn’t exposed. In fact, you can even swim in the pool during filtration. What you and your family are left with is drinking quality water which is extremely safe to swim in. With all the issues of water quality in the news wouldn’t you prefer to swim in a pool that won’t make your eyes red or your skin itch?

It’s always written in capitals, although it doesn’t actually stand for anything. Canon’s RAW file format is known as CR2. -So why would you shoot in RAW, as opposed to JPEG? -With JPEG images, your camera takes the shot, applies certain settings, compresses it, then saves it. With RAW images, the photo retains almost all of the original data from the sensor. This gives the photographer the flexibility to finely tweak settings such as noise reduction, sharpness, white balance etc., before saving the final image as a JPEG. Most commonly, this is done on a computer using a program such as Adobe Lightroom, or Canon Digital Photo Professional. -While it does provide the perfect platform for post production, shooting in RAW means that you will fill up your card quicker, because the file sizes are generally 5 times larger. It also requires you to spend time ‘developing’ the images before they can be shared. -See JPEG for more information. -He hopes you’ll buy his latest CD and tickets to his show Jan.15 at Anthology. But at the same time, bluesman Otis Taylor saysthat if he’s honest with himself, he’d have to admit he probablydoesn’t care as much about the money end of things as heshould. -“I just don’t care if I sell records ---- I must not care,because I do the things the way I do,” Taylor said recently byphone. He explained that he views each album as a chance to explorea new concept ---- and thus keeps moving into new territory, ratherthan finding something that sells well and then turning out thesame style of record over and over. -“When I first started, I didn’t care; now, I can say I carebecause I’m making a little money. I care about money; I just don’tcareenoughabout money. -One thing he’s not doing the same is touring with daughterCassie Taylor, his longtime bassist and co-vocalist. -When asked if this surprised him, Taylor said his daughter hadmet someone and was tired of being away all the time. So for thistour, he’s bringing a different bass player and a drummer as well,"which is unusual,” he said. -He’s still touring in support of “Pentatonic Wars and LoveSongs,” released last June on Telarc. That album’s core concept waslove, while the album before that, “Reclaiming the Banjo,” wasabout exploring the black roots of the banjo. -His next album, set for release this June, is already finished.Taylor said he produces his own albums and then delivers a finishedproduct to Telarc. -Taylor said that he likes the playing on his recordings to soundfresh, so he will only go to two takes on a song ---- and only totwo takes because the other musicians playing with him may beplaying one of his songs for the first time on take No. 1. But ifthey don’t get it right the second time? -“Three takes makes me nervous, and I don’t get to four takes---- there’s no emotion left. -Although Telarc Records, his home since 2003’s “Truth Is NotFiction,” has been bought by the Concord Group, Taylor said thechanges haven’t filtered down to the musicians. -“They don’t send anyone out there to watch you. Some things aredone differently; a little more corporate, but not artistically.... There’s just more paperwork for everything. -While he admitted that his brand of “trance blues” is farremoved from the mainstream, Taylor said it is possible to beinfluential without being famous. -“I figure it’s better to have a niche than just be part of thepack. I have a lot of young filmmakers wanting to use my music.There’s a whole younger set that’s hearing about me, which iscool. -“Who’s more important in the world, Miles Davis or Mick Jagger?A hundred years from now, it will be Miles.

Can't even imagine flying without it now. Drivers are getting better, does more fluent job. Now it remembers staying in absolute mode and I can safely shutdown Windows (XP SP1) without getting the trackir drivers stuck. Simply amazing!!! -I've used it for 3 years now in sims. Still works as new. -Software has been constantly improved and it gets better and better all the time. -The longer you have it the more you like it, I hated it at first but now I wont fly without it. -You just have to learn to use it,for example always sit the same distance from the Tir unit or the responce will vary greatly.And use lots of deadzone at first then slowly reduce it as your skills improve. -Brought the 3D into flightsimming, that's for sure. Now I can look at my instruments, out the window, through my body by turning my head. -It's not like in real life, but it gets closer.. -I still use it from time to time. -I find it of less value/use on non-full real. -When I have the 'pit off or external views I find it disorienting, but that may be down to practice! -And as I am having a major problem adjusting to the new FM's I don't have the time or patience to put into TIR in these circumstances! -And the orientation is automatic because you always have feedback where you look, because you move your head in that direction. But if you're not used to it, it may take a bit of practice. It's not hard though. -So when i fly pit off, i only fly with just the gunsight as visual reference and never lose orientation. TrackIR is handy with all settings, medium easy or hard. It's just like using a joystick to fly when for years you've been using the arrow keys to fly. TrackIR is also the HOTAS (= hands OFF throttle and stick) to look around. -Sometimes i watch trk's in external view and recreate external padlock with the trackIR. Focusing on 1 plane while tracking the other(s) with it. You can do that all without pressing buttons. It's great. So people who think trackIR is only usefull in full real games haven't yet discovered the full capability of trackIR yet./i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif Because it's even better in medium or easy games. -It's getting better and better! No flying without it as far as I'm concerned. -New software (2.11) supports it in FS2004 as well. Go get it! -I better stop being lazy and negotiate with my wife for some extra 'stick time'! -You can also look at the map while looking around the countryside to orient yourself looking for landmarks, rivers towns etc. And if you want, you can steer the view independantly of the gun if you want to play reargunner. In short, it was already good back then, it's great now, and it's getting better all the time. -New software/drivers is good too! -Can't wait to fire it up again when I get home tonight! -"Sorry kids, Daddy is busy" -What is the price for TrackIr? -Is it available in skandinavia? -DNMY made a comment about the map and he(she?) was dead on. It's nice to be able to look around when the map is open. I can finally give up on the map navigation lines being on, padlock on, etc and now can fly effectively with 100% realism options on. I paid $119 usd with $19 shipping. I was especially glad to know you can use reflective tape and not have to depend on the manufacturer for those dots. -- What is the price for TrackIr? -- Is it available in skandinavia? -They have a European sales office, they sell TrackIR as well as 3D Glasses. -Scand J Work Environ Health. 39(4):361-368. -Our previous work has suggested that the incidence of any occurrence of injury leave among police officers is higher on night shifts. In this study, we extended our inquiry to determine whether the incidence of long-term injury leave varies across shifts. -Police officers (N=419) from an urban department were included in the analysis. Daily payroll work history data from 1994–2010 was collected. Injury leave duration was examined ranging from ≥1–≥90 days. Poisson regression models were used to compute incidence rates (IR) and incidence rate ratios (IRR) of long-term injury. -Cumulative incidence of injury for different durations of leave defined as ≥1, ≥5, ≥10, ≥15, ≥30, and ≥90 days were 61.3%, 45.4%, 39.9%, 33.9%, 26.5%, and 9.6% respectively. Age-and gender adjusted IRR of long-term injury (≥90 days) for night versus day shifts was IRR 3.12, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.35–7.21 and IRR 2.21, 95% CI 1.04–4.68, for night versus afternoon shifts. Among all durations examined, the largest IRR was for injury ≥90 days, night versus day shifts (IRR 3.12, 95% CI 1.35–7.21). -Night shift work was significantly associated with long-term injury among police officers after adjustment for age and gender. Although type of injury was not available, it is possible that variation in injury type across shifts might account for some of this association. -J Occup Environ Med. 59(11):1084-1088. -J Occup Environ Med. 58(3):e66-e71. -San Diego Tropicals offers interior plant design and maintenance service for commercial and residential properties.

This time, I’ll say why you should have local copies of the documentation for most of the tools you use. I’ll also tell you the sort of things I always have handy as well. -Getting a local copy of php.net – and getting installed as an apache vhost and updated (probably weekly) is some effort, but well worth it. I’ve said it before, but PHP.net is the best language reference site that I’ve seen. It’s kept up to date (sometimes ahead of the code releases in fact) and while the notes that are added to it can sometimes confuse, as much as help, when they do help, they will really make the difference. -I don’t tend to buy many PHP books, because what can they do besides re-iterate what is is already there? -The most important thing to bear in mind though is not to just have the documentation there to read – you have to know what is available. Projects like PHP, the Zend Framework and PHPUnit have a lot of parts – and knowing that they have things – even if you don’t know how they work right now, can save you days or weeks of effort. -It’s for that reason that you need to at least scan over all the the docs you have – and indeed for all the libraries and tools that you use. Even I don’t read everything and expect to remember it all – but I remember enough to recognise that a paticular tool might have something to help – maybe PHP has something to search the values in an array (http://php.net/array-search), or can use Oracle, or Ldap, or Memcached, or that Zend Framework can let you easily loop over maildirs (or an mbox) to get each mail from within it. If you don’t read the manual – at least skimming over it, you would never know that functionality exists, and you inevitably end up reimplementing other people’s already debugged code. That’s a waste of your time. -So, take an hour now, and assemble a directory to put these docs into, and read through them – not everything, but at least look at headers of every section, just to get an idea of what is available and maybe go back and read up some more on things that may be useful to you. If something isn’t so interesting to you now, do bear in mind, your next project, or job, might change that. -Above all, keep learning. Never stop. -I generally just download the latest many-HTML-page tar.bz2 file from http://pear.php.net/manual/ and drop it into my docs directory. -For ZF, there’s two sets of documentation – the main docs, and the generated API. Also, since they are released as versions, with the code, rather than continually upgraded. Downloading and unpacking both styles of documentation is easy, and then I’ll just add a quick index.html file in the base to quickly bounce into either the manual, or API. -Simpletest is easy, copy the documentation from the source tar-ball. While the team that develops it is getting quickly obsoleted by PHP Unit, they are still ahead on mocking and web-form testing. There are also some ideas somewhat buried in the online docs for upcoming features. -For updating the phpunit docs, I’ve taken to checking out a copy of the docs and running the build script to get the HTML, and then like ZF, having a redirect [in this case, a header(‘Location: …’)] to bounce the browser into the right place to start reading. An Apache alias or just an easy link from the top level into the generated docs are other trivial ways to do that. -http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ and of course, they have the book sources in subversion Probably as easy to just download the multi-file tarball occasionally. -Although TortoiseSvn, and other tools like it make the every day check-ins and updates easy, I know I’ll still hit the manual for branching for a while yet. -You thought you were going to get away without a reminder to write your own documentation? Wrong! -phpXref – A bit of an old-timer, it’s actually written in perl, but it will link parts of your code around a large number of HTML pages – useful for code exploration. -The Pear PHP_DocBlockGenerator is also useful to generate the place-holders in a newly written file that might be a little light on function docblocks, though it does tend to go a little overboard with variables. If there are docblocks – even empty ones, it won’t change them, but it will add function parameter names for you to go back and explain what they are, and why they are there. -One little optimisation I’ve done with a project I’m working on is that since the site is some 45MB – most of that pure PHP (library) code, I don’t bother running the document generation unless a PHP file has changed. -I hope those help, but remember – you have to know where to look for help – so read! -Phew! Do you feel like an emotional husk after yesterday's big wave carnage and confounded trying to keep up with a blast of events happening at the same time? Spike summarises for us. -What a crazy day of surfing, and its been and will be happening today, again, at the business end of the surfing and SUP season. Stephanie Gilmore just won the women's WSL Championship Tour after surfing in one heat but the clincher for her was when main challenger Lakey Peterson was eliminated from the Beachwaver Maui Pro in cranking 8 foot surf. -Then, Keana Kennelly won the women's BWT last night by trying to commit hara kiri on waves already bordering on tow only. The same went for the men afterwards. Even they were in way over their heads, so to speak. Did you know they called off the men's event not because they thought it too dangerous (at first) but because they literally 'lost' Russel Bierke at Jaws last night? For me, the red light was already flashing like a strobe light watching the women's suicidal commitment. -Gut wrenching stuff! Then we had to watch the same trait to end life as we know it by the men. Was that barrel that Twiggy planed into - a hair's breath away from another flotation vest-ripping, bone-snapping over the falls death dance - the biggest barrel paddled into in the history of .... like everything? -It was insane. Well, we have more of the same tonight. Tighten your britches bru, stomach in, chest out! Try stock up on adrenaline after it was sucked dry last night. -Today is a busy day in the water world of waves and SUP. The Vans World Cup is on at Sunset beach and Jordy Smith joins six other Saffas in the lineup (and seven if you count Benji Brand), with Jordy winning his Round 1 heat and leapfrogging Round 2 direct to Round 3. Dylan Lightfoot, Mikey February, Adin Masencamp, Matthew McGillivray, Beyrick De Vries, and David van Zyl are all through to four-man Round 2 heats with the top two joining the top two who went direct to Round 3. Oh, and Sunset is fire ing. -The ISA World SUP and Paddleboard Champs just wound down the day in China, with the SUP Surfing done after Riyue Bay was fed by waves from a typhoon. Sadly, despite a good show, Thomas King dropped out in Repecharge Heat 7, two heats from the final. But he's into the Men's technical race repercharge, as is Kimon dos Santos, which is one heat from the final. Tarryn King has made the women's final main event of Technical Racing, with Tamsyn Foster into the repecharge. -Then there's the Taiwan Open World Longboarding Champs running in a parallel time zone in Taiwan. Four Saffas are there. Steezy Sawyer (24) of Jeffreys Bay, Sam Christianson (20) Alfonzo Pieters (29) and Chrystal Hulett (22). Matthew Moir had a wildcard entry, but apparently has too much work going on, and couldn't attend. -Even without Mouse, this is the most experienced group to attend a WSL Longboard Championships. Steezy Sawyer, despite breaking his board and taking a sip of piss in a bizarre bit of miscommunication, is through to Round 3 and is a big favourite. Muizenberg local Pieters was knocked out in Round 2, but Christianson prevailed in the last heat of the day a short while ago (11am SA time). Hulett is up early tomorrow. -Jinsun Harbour has had lank swell, and the longboarders are ripping. In a first for the WSL, world champions from two separate disciplines will be crowned at the same venue when the WSL Junior Surfing Championships follow the longboarding from 1-9 December. -"Round 2" of the big wave surfing at Jaws (and conditions look just as hairy, though hopefully a little more benign) will be called at around 7pm this evening SA time. -You'll be spoiled for choice, with the Vans Triple Crown event at Sunset also set to kickstart this evening around the same time, or a bit later. PLUS we have the women's Beachwaver Maui Pro continuing too, and the surf as you know is GOING OFF in Hawaii. -By the way, amidst the women's CT world title excitement, spare a thought for Ventura native Sage Erickson, who was on the opposite end of the spectrum shored up by Gilmore's elation. Like Lakey, she was eliminated in Round 2 by Nikki Van Dijk, which means she fails to requalify for 2019. She also narrowly misses requalifying via the QS by one heat at the Port Stephens Toyota Pro earlier this month. -Anyway, get the AV going, and get ready to bounce around to different events like a crazy person. -The following blog post is sponsored by DressFirst.com. -My best friend from college was married 18 years ago this week. As her maid of honor, I felt like a princess. We has our hair and nails done, rode in a limousine to the reception while New Orleans police officers stopped traffic just for the wedding party, and then we all danced under twinkling Christmas lights. The other bridesmaids and I wore gorgeous emerald green dresses with a long satin bow in the back. Maybe because it was a Christmastime wedding, the dress was packed away with my Christmas decorations. It no longer fits, but I look at it every year as my children and I unpack ornaments. This year my daughter asked to try it on. The girls are both still teenagers and smaller than I was in my 20s, and it was too long for both of them still. -They have both been in a wedding, and part of the excitement was helping them to find just the right dresses.

The British pop rock band, The Outfeild had eight Billboard 100 hits from 1986 – 1992 which includes of course it’s Number 6 big hit, Your Love which was written by John. Their debut album, Play Deep spent 66 weeks on the chart and went Platinum. -Oddly, The Outfield had great commercial success in the US much more than their homeland. I think I still have my Outfield cassettes. I wore them out and loved them. Their songs still bring me back to my youth as soon as I play them.

Another challenge is how to easily find the information required to make the proper identification. A distillation of knowledge from world-renowned expert Sam R. Telford, Jr, Hemoparasites of the Reptilia: Color Atlas and Text provides a comprehensive compilation of information on how to differentiate between the myriad species of reptile hemoparasites. -The atlas provides diagnoses for 262 species of plasmodiids, hemogregarines, hemococcidians, trypansosomes, and leishmanias, including descriptions of eight new species or new taxonomic designations. It also discusses lesser known groups, such as piroplasms, rickettsiae, chlamydia, and erythrocytic viruses. Each genus and many species are represented among the 166 taxa illustrated in color. The species accounts contain host and geographic distribution, with precise localities when possible, prevalence, life cycles and vectors when known, effects upon the host, and ecology of the host-parasite relationship, morphological variation, and an exhaustive bibliography. The book also includes an illustrated key showing diagnostic characters. -Telford draws on his 45 years of experience and his personal collection, considered the world’s most complete, to provide information on the morphology of the unicellular parasites of reptilian blood. He includes information from hard-to-find original papers and articles from sources throughout the world. The illustrated key and photomicrographs from Telford’s collection make identifying species quicker and easier. -Last edited by Motoko; 6th September 2012 at 07:09 PM.

Consortium partners will include China’s Shanghai Electric and DEWA has also said it plans to invest in the plant. -The project represents the world’s largest single-site CSP plant based on the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model and will use a combination of central tower and parabolic trough technologies. -ACWA Power’s 700 MW project is far larger than the 200 MW requirement set out in DEWA’s tender criteria and establishes new cost benchmarks for the growing Middle East CSP market. -“Opex [Operational expenditure] savings can also be achieved using common infrastructure and operations and maintenance personnel in the UAE,” he said. -ACWA Power’s tower system will provide fifteen hours of storage while the trough section will provide eleven hours. The combination of technologies will help to reduce the total cost of energy, Lovato said. -“Parabolic troughs are a more mature and low-risk technology while tower technology and energy storage help reduce costs,” he said. -“Use of this [combination of] technology has allowed for increased storage capacity,” Lovato noted. -DEWA’s tender criteria did not enforce local content requirements and Shanghai Electric’s involvement in the engineering, procurement and construction of the project will help drive down costs. -Shanghai Electric is currently building CSP capacity in China as part of the country’s ambitious targets to complete 20 CSP projects of total capacity 1.3 GW by 2018. This first batch of Chinese projects is expected to accelerate deployment efficiencies and build out China’s CSP supply chain. -“In order to deliver reliable power at the lowest possible cost, ACWA Power looks to incorporate local content where possible, as well as work with our existing network of suppliers in the markets where we operate to achieve economies of scale and reduce cost,” Lovato said. -ACWA Power also expects savings in financing costs due to DEWA’s strong credit rating, the political stability of UAE, and the current low interest rate environment. -In 2016, Dubai set the world’s lowest PV price of $29.9/MWh for the 800 MW MBR phase 2 project, demonstrating the significant banking interest and cost reduction potential of Dubai’s solar program. -ACWA Power’s equity investment in the 700 MW project represents the company’s largest ever capital commitment. -The power purchase agreement (PPA) and financial closure of the project are expected to be finished “shortly,” DEWA said in a statement. -Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia’s newly-created Renewable Energy Project Development Office (REPDO) said it plans to build 1 GW of CSP capacity by 2023. -Published 04/19/2019 05:21:43 pm at 04/19/2019 05:21:43 pm in Outdoor Glider Furniture. -outdoor glider furniture giantex 2 person swing patio glider chair with steel frame outdoor glider furniture. -wood outdoor glider furniture,outdoor glider furniture clearance,patio furniture glider parts,outdoor glider chairs,outdoor furniture glider replacement parts,wooden outdoor glider furniture,outdoor furniture glider parts,inexpensive outdoor glider chairs,comfortable outdoor glider furniture,outdoor glider furniture covers,recycled plastic outdoor glider chairs. -Recently I had the pleasure of remixing a tune by a couple of my favorite artists, Pitch Black.

If so, then trust us when we say that we’ve all been there. Everyone at some point or the other in their lives has come across women with stunning hair and wondered what they do every day to keep their hair healthy, great-looking and free of unsightly problems like dandruff and hair thinning. -Nowadays, women are troubled with various hair concerns that make their precious locks look dull and lifeless. They often go to great lengths, from pricey salon sessions to trying professional hair care products, to restore natural beauty to their mane. However, instead of splurging money on these things, you could just try doing simple-yet-powerful things to improve the texture and appearance of your locks. -One thing that every woman with great hair can vouch for is the importance of using gentle hair care products. There are a plethora of hair care products available in the beauty stores these days. However, not all of them benefit your hair. In fact, there are tons of hair care products that contain harsh chemicals capable of doing more harm than good to your hair. Using harsh hair care products can strip your hair of its natural oil and leave it looking dry and dull. Whether it is a hair serum or your everyday shampoo and conditioner, it is imperative to buy products that are gentle and do not contain harsh compounds. -Heat-styling tools like straighteners and curling irons are true favorites for hair styling purposes. There is no denying the fact that using these tools can leave your hair looking well-styled and pretty. However, over-using these tools can cause severe damage to the texture of your hair can make them become rough and frizzy. The heat from these tools adversely affects the hair follicles on your scalp and leads to various unsightly problems. To prevent that from happening, it is important to avoid using heat-styling tools every day. Most women who have naturally gorgeous hair stay away from heat-styling tools. While using them every once in a while is not that harmful, daily use of these tools is a complete no-no for maintaining the health and beauty of hair. -Women with great hair are aware of the ways in which exposure to the sun can damage their hair. The UVA and UVB rays emitted by the sun are not just bad for your skin but they are equally harmful to your hair. Experts have found that prolonged exposure can cause the hair to appear dry and rough and lead to premature greying of hair. To safeguard your hair from the damaging effects of the sun, try to cover up your hair with a scarf while out in the sun and use sun-protective hair care products. -Women who have beautiful hair use wide-tooth wooden combs. There are plenty of ways in which switching your regular plastic combs with a wooden comb can benefit your hair. Brushing the hair with a wooden comb stimulates blood circulation in the scalp and encourages hair growth. It also nourishes your hair and prevents flyaways. When compared to plastic and metal combs, wooden combs do not cause breakage and prevent hair from becoming frizzy. -Another thing that is common among women with stunning hair is the habit of sleeping on a satin pillowcase. This simple everyday habits can transform the way you’re your hair looks. The softness of satin prevents the development of friction in the hair. Sleeping on a satin pillowcase can help you wake up with soft, smooth and frizz-free locks. -Another thing that women with great hair do every day is to keep their mane clean. It is a commonly known fact that keeping hair and scalp clean is essential for its health and appearance. By doing so, you will be able to ward off residue-buildup in the scalp that further leads to a wide range of issues like dandruff, hair loss and itchy scalp. On a daily basis, your hair gets exposed to the toxic elements in the air along with dust and dirt. These substances settle in your scalp and if not cleaned in due time, they can lead to various troubling hair problems. To avoid that from happening, follow what women with enviable hair do and keep your locks clean. -Instead of using heat-styling tools, women with great hair use styling products like hair serums to beautify and add shine to their tresses. Just a dollop of a hair serum can leave your hair looking well-styled, shiny and smooth. There are plenty of hair serums available in the stores. Pick a hair serum that is especially developed for your hair type, whether oily or dry and use it to style your hair. Do this every day to flaunt picture-perfect mane. -The residents of Tower Block 31 are terrified after witnessing the brutal murder of a young man.

The model has traction tires and is driven on four wheelsets by two ball bearing Bühler motors. It has an mfx/DCC sound decoder with many sound and light functions. The pantographs can be raised and lowered digitally on both end cars. All the cars on the train have metal wheels, and the center car has wheelsets with ball bearings. All the doors can be opened. The model has many separately applied details such as conductors, plugs, windshield wipers, antennas, and rear-view mirrors. The model has sprung buffers and complete rail clearance devices (the center part of the rail clearance devices can be replaced with a standard LGB coupler that is included with the train). Length over the buffers 206 cm / 81-1/8". -LGB 22225 – RhB Class ABe 8/12 "Allegra" Powered Rail Car Train On October 14, 2009, the Rhaetian Railroad (RhB) set a new milestone in its tradition-filled history, because the first of 15 new three-part dual system powered rail car trains (11 kilovolts /16.7 Hertz and 1 kilovolt DC), the class "ALLEGRA", was festively received on this day in Landquart. The new train is not only highly modern, but it also conceals significant innovations and a lot of power inside. All the wheelsets are powered in both end cars. The multi-system drive equipment consists of 4 drive trains with water-cooled IGBT rectifiers and produces 2.6 megawatts / 3,485 horsepower with AC voltage (2.4 megawatts / 3,217 horsepower with 1 kilovolt DC). That is extremely high because the most powerful RhB locomotive, the high-performance class Ge 4/4 III, offers "only" 3.1 megawatts / 4,155 horsepower of performance. With 8 powered wheelsets and its performance, the "ALLEGRA" develops a correspondingly high tractive effort of 260 kilo newton / 58,450 pound-force, which exceeds that of the Ge 4/4 III by 30%. With it, the builder Stadler succeeded in creating a unique meter gauge powered rail car train in the entire world in terms of power density, performance, and weight. One special challenge here was to "stow" the power packets in the limited space beneath the powered rail car floor and on the roof, which also succeeded thanks to innovative solutions. The non-powered intermediate car offers comfortable entry with its depressed floor area, a handicap-accessible toilet, and storage space for baby strollers. There is space in the class ABe 8/12 with its fully air conditioned passenger areas for 24 seats in 1st class and 76 seats in 2nd class as well as additional fold-down seats and standing room. A modern passenger information system with flat screens is also standard. The ends of the powered rail car trains with the Grisons canton coat-of-arms lends the lower part of the cab with its shape coming to a point and the straight cab windows arching to the back a certain sharp edged look and it also symbolizes its power. The "ALLEGRA" can also claim a speed record for meter gauge trains because on December 20, 2010 unit 3502 reached a proud 145 km/h / 91 mph on a special run in the Vereina Tunnel. -According to one narrative, the Timberwolves decided after Friday’s loss to the Kings to trade Jimmy Butler. -But he might have forced their hand, resulting in his trade to the 76ers. -Butler decided he would play on Friday night, but he viewed it as the fork in the road. If the Timberwolves didn’t find a deal to fulfill his long-simmering trade request after that, he would begin to sit indefinitely, league sources told The Athletic. -The Kings defeated Minnesota 121-110 to push the Timberwolves to 4-9 and a winless road trip; Butler had 13 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in 41 minutes. He had played almost 124 minutes in the last three games, all losses, and at halftime of the final one, the Wolves were informed that this was it for Butler, sources said. -Butler reportedly held out for a game a couple weeks ago, though he and Minnesota both denied it. It’s quite believable he would’ve held out again if not traded. Still, informing the team during a game he’s playing would have been quite bold. -I’m not sure who actually blinked first. This could be an I-quit, no-you’re-fired (or vice versa) scenario. Both Butler and Timberwolves president-coach Tom Thibodeau are stubborn. -But the most important thing is Butler is gone and both sides can move on – whatever ugliness preceded the trade. -Officially licensed Harry Potter cartoon keychain.

She said that since the start of record-keeping in 1937, there has been snowfall in the Wood River Valley on several days in late June, as well as in July and August. -Jan Turzian, owner of Sun Valley Garden Center in Bellevue, said a few of her customers told her they lost tomatoes due to the unexpected cold weather. She said plants that were covered were probably all right. She said it’s the cold temperatures more than snow that damages delicate flowers and vegetables. -The Herr brothers, Ed and Nevin, who grow strawberries in Picabo for sale around the Wood River Valley, said their crop was undamaged by the late snow. -“It’s supposed to be 80 degrees from here on out, so I think we’re OK,” Ed Herr said. -The storm was widespread, and was more pronounced farther south in Utah. According to the National Weather Service office in Salt Lake City, snow fell throughout the Wasatch Mountains, including 9 inches at Alta, which is at 8,800 feet elevation. -There were 13,328,066 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on July 31, 2016. -The consolidated balance sheet of Geospace Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at September 30, 2015 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows were made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future operations. -Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America were omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. -Certain amounts previously presented in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company elected to early adopt Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17-Income Taxes (Topic 740) requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The purpose of this adoption was to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the adoption of this standard. The effect of the adjustment at September 30, 2015 was a $6.4 million decrease in current assets, a $10,000 decrease in current liabilities, a $3.0 million increase in non-current deferred tax assets and a $3.4 million decrease in non-current deferred tax liabilities. Such reclassification had no effect on our previously reported net loss, stockholders’ equity or cash flows. -The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company considers many factors in selecting appropriate operational and financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debt reserves, inventory obsolescence reserves, self-insurance reserves, product warranty reserves, impairment of long-lived assets and deferred income tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities which are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or assumptions. -The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review, if necessary, includes a comparison of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by an asset group with the associated carrying value of the related assets. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the expected future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value. At June 30, 2016, management reviewed the recoverability of the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets based on future undiscounted cash flows and determined that the carrying value of certain rental assets exceeded the expected future cash flows. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.0 million in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016. No such impairment of remaining long-lived assets was necessary as the expected future cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the assets. -The Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of its manufactured products, including revenue derived from the sale of its manufactured rental equipment. In addition, the Company generates revenue from the short-term rental under operating leases of its manufactured products. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales, including the sale of used rental equipment, when (i) title passes to the customer, (ii) the customer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, (iii) the product sales price has been determined, (iv) collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, and (v) product delivery occurs as directed by the customer. Except for certain of the Company’s reservoir characterization products, the Company’s products are generally sold without any customer acceptance provisions and the Company’s standard terms of sale do not allow customers to return products for credit. The Company recognizes rental revenue as earned over the rental period. Rentals of the Company’s equipment generally range from daily rentals to rental periods of up to six months or longer. Revenue from engineering services is recognized as services are rendered over the duration of a project, or as billed on a per hour basis. Field service revenue is recognized when services are rendered and is generally priced on a per day rate. -immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018 is permitted. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect upon its consolidated financial statements. -In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify key components of employee share-based payment accounting. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect upon its consolidated financial statements. -In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expense and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, this new guidance will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The guidance also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users to better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2018 and is to be applied using the modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect upon its consolidated financial statements. -In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance requiring management to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and should be applied retrospectively, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. -In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance requiring management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide disclosures in certain circumstances. The new guidance was issued to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect upon its consolidated financial statements. -In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance requiring entities to recognize revenue from contracts with customers by applying a five-step model in accordance with the core principle to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this guidance specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance deferring the effective date of this guidance to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. Entities have the option to adopt this guidance either retrospectively or through a modified retrospective transition method. This new standard will supersede existing revenue guidance and affect the Company's revenue recognition process and the presentations or disclosures of the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. -At June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary had $27.5 million and $28.1 million, respectively, of Canadian dollar denominated intercompany accounts payable owed to one of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. In order to mitigate its exposure to movements in foreign currency rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar, the Company routinely enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its exposure to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar. Approximately $3.3 million of these Canadian dollar denominated intercompany accounts payable are considered by management to be of a short-term nature whereby the appreciation or devaluation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar will result in a gain or loss, respectively, to the consolidated statement of operations. The Company considers the remaining $24.2 million Canadian dollar denominated intercompany accounts payable to be of a long-term nature and whereby settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future; therefore, any resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are reported in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”. In June 2016, the Company entered into a $3.0 million 90-day hedge contract with a United States bank to hedge a portion of its short-term Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate exposure. This contract reduces the impact on cash flows from movements in the Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar currency exchange rate, but has not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. At June 30, 2016, the fair value of this contract was a liability of $11,000. -equivalents, trade and other receivables and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value on the respective balance sheet dates. -The Company applies fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis in evaluating potential impairment losses related to long-lived assets. -During the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company made non-cash inventory transfers of $3.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively, to its rental equipment fleet. Raw materials include semi-finished goods and component parts totaling $52.5 million and $48.4 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015. -The Company had no long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015. -On March 2, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Frost Bank with borrowing availability of $50.0 million (the “Credit Agreement”). On May 4, 2015, the Company amended the Credit Agreement which reduced its borrowing availability to $30.0 million with amounts available for borrowing determined by a borrowing base. Under the amendments to the Credit Agreement, the borrowing base is determined based upon certain of the Company’s and its U.S. subsidiaries’ assets which include (i) 80% of certain accounts receivable plus (ii) 50% of certain notes receivable (such result not to exceed $10 million) plus (iii) 25% of certain inventories (excluding work-in-process inventories). As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s borrowing base was $35.3 million resulting in borrowing availability of $30.0 million less $0.5 million of outstanding letters of credit. The Company’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and such subsidiaries have secured their obligations under such guarantees by the pledge of substantially all of the assets of such subsidiaries, except real property assets. The Credit Agreement expires on May 4, 2018 and all borrowed funds are due and payable at that time. The Company is required to make monthly interest payments on borrowed funds. The Credit Agreement as amended limits the incurrence of additional indebtedness, requires the maintenance of a single financial ratio that compares certain of the Company’s assets to certain of its liabilities, restricts the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to pay cash dividends and contains other covenants customary in agreements of this type. The interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Agreement as amended is based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate, which was 3.50% at June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. -During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 182,400 shares of restricted stock under its 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). The weighted average grant date fair value of the restricted stock was $14.84 per share. The grant date fair value of these awards was $2.7 million, which will be charged to expense over the next four years as the restrictions lapse. Compensation expense for restricted stock awards was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant applied to the total number of shares that are anticipated to fully vest. Recipients of restricted stock awards are entitled to vote such shares and are entitled to dividends, if paid. -During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, the Company also issued 69,300 nonqualified stock options under the Plan. The options issued are based upon three tiers, each with separate market and service based vesting conditions. Market based vesting conditions are based on achieving a specified market return on the Company’s stock price. Compensation expense for the nonqualified stock option awards was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation, which incorporates the possibility that the market conditions may not be satisfied. The weighted average grant date fair value of the options issued was determined to be $5.96 per option resulting in unrecognized compensation costs of $0.4 million, which will be charged to expense over the requisite service period of the options, ranging from 18 to 36 months. -As of June 30, 2016, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of $8.1 million relating to restricted stock awards. This unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years. In addition, the Company had $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonqualified stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. -As of June 30, 2016, a total of 276,150 shares of restricted stock and 159,000 nonqualified stock options shares were outstanding. -For the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 159,000 stock options and 89,700 stock options, respectively, were excluded in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding as a result of their impact being antidilutive. -The Company is involved in various pending or potential legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation. Management is not aware of any material pending or known to be contemplated legal or government proceedings against the Company. -The Company reports and evaluates financial information for two segments: Seismic and Non-Seismic. Seismic product lines include: land and marine wireless data acquisition systems, permanent land and seabed reservoir monitoring products and services, geophones and geophone strings, hydrophones, leader wire, connectors, telemetry cables, marine streamer retrieval and steering devices and various other products. The Non-Seismic product lines include: thermal imaging products and industrial products. -Built to last even the toughest challenge and then some, the Fast Hike Light Pant is ideal to get you to the peak, or stash in your rucksack. -Incredibly lightweight and constructed with two way stretch fabric, they also have articulated knees and a diamond gusset for step high movement and comfort. -They pack down to a fantastic size, so you’ll barely notice them when they’re packed away in your rucksack. -Plus, you can keep chalk to hand with a chalk bag attachment, and belt loops add extra security. -If you’re caught in a shower they’re also super-fast drying, so you can press on with the day, hassle free. -LIGHTWEIGHT Weighing just 276* grams, they’re incredibly lightweight with two way stretch fabric, enhancing movement, ideal for speed days. -• Easy access to chalk bag, with rear attachment point. -• Step high movement and comfort is thanks to the tailored diamond gusset. -• Stay secure with added belt loops. -In response to the growing demand for skilled professionals in health professions, YouthBuild Just-A-Start has committee to broadening its horizons by providing new career training for healthcare related fields.

This was accomplished by landscaping the State House front lawn. -On Wednesday May 23rd, students and staff from six Massachusetts YouthBuild programs gathered to volunteer their service. This group committed to the landscaping project for the fourth consecutive year by planting red and white geranium flowers and impatiens. They also assisted with pruning of tree shrubs and bushes. -During the lunch hour Congressman William Keating, came out to visit with the students. They had a chance to introduce themselves and inform Congressman Keating of what projects they have been working on. To wrap up the day, YouthBuild students made their way into the State House to meet with, among others, Senator Eileen Donoghue of Lowell who has been a strong supporter of YouthBuild. -This was a wonderful experience and there was a great turn out. Members of the State House staff were proud see young people and adult supervisors working together to take care of the property. The students proved that they were ready to be the difference by taking a step forward and making things happen. The work at the State house showed initiative and that our youth care.

This easy recipe is perfect for gatherings and low carb friends. -The first time I had a raw broccoli salad was at my bridal shower over 20 years ago. My mother’s recipe for broccoli salad had bacon and cranberries. Yum. It’s been my family’s go-to summer salad ever since. But it’s nice to change things up once in awhile. This Amish broccoli cauliflower salad does it for me. It’s especially a hit with the cheese lovers in the family! -I have a recipe for low carb broccoli salad with bacon on the blog. I love it because it’s so easy to customize. I add nuts and seeds by whim and sometimes add a few raisins or unsweetened cranberries. A little sesame oil adds a pleasant sweet flavor. -What I really like about this Amish broccoli cauliflower salad recipe is the cheese. Using sharp cheddar cheese adds a nice tang and texture to the salad. -Some recipes for Amish cauliflower salad call for grated cheddar cheese, but I like it cubed. I admit it’s purely based on aesthetics. The grated cheese mixes well, but the salad becomes a creamy indiscernible mess. Cubing the cheese adds another visible layer of texture. -This recipe, too, is easy to customize. Try replacing the cheddar cheese with Parmesan or any other favorite. Add seeds or nuts – sunflower seeds would be great. Try using a colored variety of cauliflower for fun. -And who doesn’t like a cool creamy dressing? Many recipes for Amish broccoli salad call for a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream. I opted to use mayonnaise and Greek yogurt. Use either – they’re both great. -The salad keeps well in the fridge and is a great for family gatherings or a pot-luck. I make sure to bring low carb sides or sugar-free desserts to any gatherings so that I have a few on-plan options. -Amish Broccoli Cauliflower Salad is 3 net carbs per cup. -Meanwhile, wash and chop the vegetables and place into a large bowl. If serving the salad the next day, cover and refrigerate. -Mix the ingredients for the dressing in a medium bowl and taste to adjust the seasoning. Cover and refrigerate if not using right away. -Toss the salad ingredients with the broccoli then stir in the dressing. (I use less dressing than the recipe makes - as shown in the photos, but you may want to use it all.) Serve. -Refrigerate any leftovers up to 5 days. Makes 7 cups at 1 cup per serving. -*Use regular sugar if not following a low carb or sugar free diet. -Yet again another winner! I was looking for a recipe that is similar to a broccoli salad dish I used to get for lunch at a pizza place near where I used to work. This one fits the bill and then some. This will be in my recipe rotation for sure – thank you again for your wonderful recipes and website! -This was the best salad I’ve had in a very long time! Husband requested again for the next nights dinner! -Yum! Another winning recipe. This is perfect for summer. Everyone loved it. I made it according to directions, but added an additional tablespoon of lemon juice to thin the dressing a little. I also used grated cheese because that’s what I had on hand. Thank you! -Is the serving size one cup? -If I’m preparing this to serve the next day, is it ok to mix dressing with veggies or should I wait until next day? -Looks delicious! The article doesn’t repeat Amish broccoli cauliflower salad enough, IMO. -Such a delicious salad! Worth making! -Thanks so much Anita for bringing this comment over from Facebook.

Seasonal flowers are widely available, and you do not have to spend extra money to buy them. Remember when it comes to some of the flowers that you or your parent might like, they are not available around the year. For instance, violet is a flower available in winter. Therefore, when you are buying flowers for your parents ensure which ones are available for the season and get hold of fresh flowers of that month. This will help you arrange fresh flowers for any party or occasion and save money as you do not have to pay extra to procure off seasonal flowers that need to be procured if they can search by flower selling websites! -Walking Food Tours In New Orleans is free HD wallpaper.

In essence, routes provide an interface between the urls and your controllers and actions. With the correct routes you could make almost any url scheme correspond to almost any arrangement of controllers, and you could change one without impacting the other. -As mentioned in the Request Flow section, a request is handled by the Request class, which will look for a matching Route and load the appropriate controller to handle that request. -It is important to understand that routes are matched in the order they are added, and as soon as a URL matches a route, routing is essentially "stopped" and the remaining routes are never tried. Because the default route matches almost anything, including an empty url, new routes must be place before it. -The default route is simply provided as a sample, you can remove it and replace it with your own routes. -So this creates a route with the name default that will match urls in the format of ((/(/))). -Let's take a closer look at each of the parameters of Route::set, which are `name`, `uri`, and an optional array `regex`. -The name of the route must be a unique string. If it is not it will overwrite the older route with the same name. The name is used for creating urls by reverse routing, or checking which route was matched. -The uri is a string that represents the format of urls that should be matched. The tokens surrounded with `<>` are keys and anything surrounded with `()` are optional parts of the uri. In BootPHP routes, any character is allowed and treated literally aside from `()<>`. The `/` has no meaning besides being a character that must match in the uri. Usually the `/` is used as a static seperator but as long as the regex makes sense, there are no restrictions to how you can format your routes. -Lets look at the default route again, the uri is `((/(/)))`. We have three keys or params: controller, action, and id. In this case, the entire uri is optional, so a blank uri would match and the default controller and action (set by defaults(), covered below) would be assumed resulting in the `Controller_Welcome` class being loaded and the `action_index` method being called to handle the request. -Controller - The controller that the request should execute. -Action - The action method to call. -The BootPHP route system uses perl compatible regular expressions in its matching process. By default each key (surrounded by `<>`) will match `[^/.,;?\n]++` (or in english: anything that is not a slash, period, comma, semicolon, question mark, or newline). You can define your own patterns for each key by passing an associative array of keys and patterns as an additional third argument to Route::set. -In this example, we have controllers in two directories, admin and affiliate. Because this route will only match urls that begin with admin or affiliate, the default route would still work for controllers in classes/controller. -You can also use a less restrictive regex to match unlimited parameters, or to ignore overflow in a route. In this example, the url foobar/baz/and-anything/else_that/is-on-the/url would be routed to Controller_Foobar::action_baz() and the "stuff" parameter would be "and-anything/else_that/is-on-the/url". If you wanted to use this for unlimited parameters, you could explode it, or you just ignore the overflow. -If a key in a route is optional (or not present in the route), you can provide a default value for that key by passing an associated array of keys and default values to Route::defaults, chained after your Route::set. This can be useful to provide a default controller or action for your site, among other things. -The `controller` and `action` key must always have a value, so they either need to be required in your route (not inside of parentheses) or have a default value provided. -In the default route, all the keys are optional, and the controller and action are given a default. If we called an empty url, the defaults would fill in and `Controller_Welcome::action_index()` would be called. If we called `foobar` then only the default for action would be used, so it would call `Controller_Foobar::action_index()` and finally, if we called `foobar/baz` then neither default would be used and `Controller_Foobar::action_baz()` would be called. -You can also use defaults to set a key that isn't in the route at all. -As you can see in the below route, the reverse uri parameter might not make sense. -* You don't like slashes? -The Request::param method takes an optional second argument to specify a default return value in case the key is not set by the route. If no arguments are given, all keys are returned as an associative array. In addition, `action`, `controller` and `directory` are not accessible via Request::param(). -If a url matches the route, then `Controller_Ads::index()` will be called. You can access the parameters by using the `param()` method of the controller's Request. Remember to define a default value (via the second, optional parameter of Request::param) if you didn't in `->defaults()`. -The established convention is to either place your custom routes in the `MODPATH//init.php` file of your module if the routes belong to a module, or simply insert them into the `APPPATH/bootstrap.php` file (be sure to put them above the default route) if they are specific to the application. Of course, nothing stops you from including them from an external file, or even generating them dynamically. -Let's say you decided later to make that route definition more verbose by changing it to `feeds/(/).`. If you wrote your code with the above uri generation method you wouldn't have to change a single line! When a part of the uri is enclosed in parentheses and specifies a key for which there in no value provided for uri generation and no default value specified in the route, then that part will be removed from the uri. An example of this is the `(/)` part of the default route; this will not be included in the generated uri if an id is not provided. -It is no secret that the husband and I have built a fairly extensive network at home. It started way back when when I studied towards the NT4 MCSE, and, over the years, as new products were released, we added those products to our network to further our learning. -Yesterday, we wiped our domain controller, and started fresh on 2008. Using the Add Roles wizard got a little confusing, so I reverted to the more familiar dcpromo, which made a lot more sense, and didn’t feel much different from 2003. Of course, the AD roles are now extended and sparkly new, so you have to pay attention during the wizard. DO NOT just click next, next finish. -Of course, our Hyper-V machine is also running 2008, but I had precious little to do with that install – the husband did it in the dead of night one night when he couldn’t sleep. -I had a couple of issues initially with the DNS setup. No reverse lookup zone was created, and there were a couple of other things I needed to tweak as well. I am a little concerned, because the self-tests continuously fail, so I am still not convinced that the DNS install is 100% super—duper, but, for now, the network is working, so I am not going to play too much right now (ie. I will fix this later). -We have also been doing a SQL consolidation, and I am going to attempt to rewrite our intranet in ASP.net with a SQL2008 back-end. I have been threatening for years to do this, and I suppose that time has come. -One of the reasons we decided to start over was because we had been installing a variety of services into the old domain that made a bit of a mess to the schema, especially because we didn’t clean up correctly – reinstalled machines without removing the applications correctly, that kind of thing. One of the big culprits here was LCS. -Granted, we make these mistakes because it is a home environment, so it is not critical to achieve 9 sigma, but we have also learnt some good lessons that we may actually one day apply in corporate environments. -And while it is not important at home to have 100% uptime, we do strive to stay up as much as possible, especially because we do actually make use of some of these services to keep our home running, such as schedule all family outings via Exchange and keep track of our budget and shopping lists via our intranet web. And our internet connection needs to be up as much as possible, because I am an addict our daughter needs it for homework. -Delivery circa 8 weeks after closing of subscription period. -ORDER NOW FOR A SPECIAL EARLY BIRD PRICE.

It is our birthright. -The ability to be on the spot—aware of what’s going on inside, outside, and all around, connecting with others—is part of being human. -Developing mindful awareness of the present moment can connect us to experiences, interactions, emotions and thoughts without the interference of judgment, bias, beliefs or distractions. We can 'Just Be' in the present moment, even if it is too exciting to contain or too painful to tolerate. Accepting the present moment for what it IS can be considered the crown jewel of mindfulness. -Meditative exercises and/or mindfulness meditation can be the first step to learning Mindfulness. When we focus our attention on our breath or curiously explore sense activation like sight, hearing or taste we are developing our brain's ability to attend to the present moment. We do not need to clear our mind of thoughts while we are meditating as it is our ability to frequently come back to our attention or breath and away from distracting thoughts that develops our ability to be mindful. -Let me start by saying that this was NOT a good week for me.

O'Donnell predicted they would reach into "the tens of millions of dollars." -A call seeking comment from Cowell was not immediately returned Wednesday. -"We have not even been served with the complaint in this matter, and so have no comment," said ABC spokeswoman Annie Fort. -The suit also names FremantleMedia North America, producer of FOX's "American Idol" and proposed producer of ABC's "The Million Dollar Idea." (Note the slightly different title.) FremantleMedia does not comment on pending litigation, spokesman Brian Reinert said. -"Million Dollar Idea" first aired on KSTC-TV in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market in 2003. The series was recently syndicated to more than 125 stations nationwide and its creators registered for both copyright and trademark for the show's name and premise, according to their statement. -The show is taped before an audience and judges at the Mall of America. New product inventors and marketers from across the country compete for a prize package to help launch their product and place it for sale with a Mall of America retailer. -The syndicated series has received newspaper, magazine and TV coverage, including on NBC's "Today" show, the suit says. -"It is incredibly ironic that our show, the premise of which is to promote, protect and reward small-town American ingenuity, was itself the victim of corporate theft and greed," Golden said. -Her partner, Walker, pitched a deal for the show to ABC in early 2004 and provided copies of their presentation to CAA, according to the suit. That's the same agency identified in a recent ABC press release as having "packaged" "The Million Dollar Idea" with Cowell. -Besides the alleged theft of the title, every major concept connected to the show also was copied, the suit claims. -In the July 13 news release announcing "The Million Dollar Idea," ABC described the series as "a nationwide search for America's greatest entrepreneur with the best business idea or new product," with the prize to be $1 million "worth of business support," including cash and other resources. -The idea was conceived by Cowell and British entrepreneur Peter Jones, according to the ABC release. -There was a small town near the shores of the sea; it was a topical climate with mixture of occasional rainfall, hot summer & even pleasant atmosphere with low heat & humidity. The whole town was encircled with the backwaters of the rivers. With such a classic whether there was also a short coming which could wipe out the whole town. The tornado’s quite regularly hit the surrounding towns so the impact of it would hit this small town too. Owing to the increasing trouble of these the people had started to flee from here. While there were people in towns who were the survivors of these who took shelter in this town. -Today two different people both who were survivors of the same town moved into this new place but both were strangers & poles apart. One was calm & patient while the other was fierce & impatient but both were always inevitable & destructive in nature if meddled with, with a slight deviation, the calm one had the ability to choose either go ahead & wreck everything but the fierce person didn’t had that choice once a step taken forward has to feel the burnt. -Even if these two people’s ways were different and always repulsive in nature, they both were away from their people it was a test of survival for them in this place. They had none to share what they felt, none to listen to their talks, none to see their pain hidden in their heart. But destiny could not stop itself posing them infront of each other. He, who was fire and she, who was water did face each other will they ever overcome there obstacles & blend in one another without terminating the other. -Seeing is believing is said for the human sense sight but at this time of the day when darkness is all you could see around and light is something alien and hard to visualise what is there in front of you that doesn’t mean you are lost or blind? Just like everyone my other senses come to my rescue. Exactly now when I cannot see anything through my eyes I could hear the roars of the ocean everytime it hit the banks indicating I am standing right infront of the vast expanse of the ocean. Petrichor, the scent of rain filled my lungs predicting the approaching rain, the touch of which would cease my burning but I am not ready to taste the freedom from this fire. In addition to these I know how to eradicate the darkness as I have the capacity to turn on the light even at the darkest times of life. -The rain can come down to the earth anytime and I have to take shelter before that but still I wait at the banks waiting for the darkness to break into dawn. This has been my routine from past week to sprint around the seashore of this sea at the darkest hour before the dawn and wait for the moment of darkness breaking into the dawn. To watch the sun to gain its position high in the sky, paint his colors over the world showing his supremacy to kill darkness of life. It is not only the sun but also me who feels that has spread my color all over the world. -Slowly the sun made its way out of his den painting the whole sky bright redish yellow with its rays. Consuming the gloomy night and spreading the light bringing new hope & a beginning of bright fresh life. Once I had witnessed the magnificent sight of sunrise my concentration went towards my sense which had alerted about the approaching rain. But now there was no sign of it, that left me astonished as rain is one thing I just hate it and my senses have never been wrong in identifying them. Leaving that thought aside I make my way back to the hostel which has become my new home from where I will have to attend my first day of my master’s classes today. -Not before I had turned my eyes get struck to the sight of a girl in bluish white suit running away something was there about her unknown which made me watch her till she disappeared from my vision. I have been coming here from past 5 days but never did I saw any girl at this time of the hour. She did turn back once but I could not see her face. Just then I heard my cell beep reminding me of the time & I headed back still I couldn’t stop myself to watch at the way she ran off. -Some things never change every where the seniors welcoming the juniors especially in there own innovative way. I had just entered the gates of my college when a group of people naming themselves as seniors blocked my way. They were many more already in queues who were dancing as puppets of seniors. I had a strong urge to teach them a good lesson but I couldn’t just barge in and destruct everything but that would only catch the attention of everyone. Now itself I can feel many eyes on me, that always annoy me. -Against my wishes I simply follow there orders to stand in the queue and wait for my turn to come. Just then there was absolute silence as everyone’s attention was on the entrance maybe another junior’s who are trying to dorge away from these ragging session? But No. when I look at the entrance I could only see a beautiful mesmerising alluring blue eyes of the girl, they captivated me in its pools as deep as oceans that I can get lost in them. It was a picture painted in blue theme, every essence of her oozed as serene beauty. I could no longer see the world around me just her only; everything around her seems to vanish away from my view. As if in the whole world it is you and me alone, with my every breath, with my every heartbeat clearly wanting to be with you. Her earrings kissed her cheeks everytime she kept walking her bangles made sounds of waves in the ocean which was matching her light blue & white mixed dress. Is she the same one whom I saw in the beach today, looks like she is as even at that time she wored the same dress, the same gait, the same care free strides. Today I felt like I got a whole new world to live in. -I don’t know when my legs take me away from the crowd towards the object of my interest but I was pulled back by something. When I turn to see what that was I saw it was the guy next to me who pulled me back, he was saying something which I failed to hear it. I turned back my gaze to her; she was not there; I turn around everywhere only to find her in front of those seniors. I moved in a way to have clear view of her face without any interruption. Her eyes had a gleam of naughtiness which I didn’t know for what. -I felt another nudge in my hand to jolt me into the reality. It was again the same guy but now I heard him say “Man, what are you doing come back and stand here, don’t mess with seniors. See how these girls got them in trouble.” The word Girls made me look at them again to find another girl beside her. All of them were watching her ignoring the pleasant beauty of mine. They were questioning them, that is when I got to know her name is Geet & the girl whom I just noticed her name is Pari. -Geet, the name rang in my ears inveigling my heart with unknown bliss. Such a melodious name she has got that I could only hear and speak her name throughout the remaining life of mine. My heart was showing its presence more than ever with her first visual itself, weaving many desires which could bind me into something which I never was bound to. Thoughts are flying high freeing it self from the strings of my mind. Spirit is flowing in a direction which it had never crossed but it surged without bothering about any hindrance. Wish I could just embrace this moment in myself, to witness a new facet of the dreams. Her eyes were revealing more than she could every voice out surprising me at the things which it could conceal. I was eager to be with her which made my heart to live. -Dilon mein tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe ho. -My revive was broken when the guy next to me was biting his nails in nervousness as he was worried for the girl next to Geet, as he was muttering “Please God save Pari from these ragging’s” but what I saw actually amazed me as that girl Pari stood fearless while my Geet stood behind her hiding herself from the situation. Such a contrary thing it was happening I was not scared for Geet as I knew she could come out the situation without any help where as the guy next to me was praying for Pari while the girls were doing just the opposite. But Geet’s eyes shone bright, calm & undeterred confidence trickled in her every stir though she portrayed as fearful infront of everyone. She held on to the facade of a timid girl duping around the others. Her face can deceive everyone but her eyes couldn’t as they told every story of hers. She was not a meek girl, none could scrum her into doing things against her wishes, but why does she have to do things like that. -Apparently the situation in the hand was the senior’s portrayed themselves as generous enough to give us the option to whether we want to get ragged or not. Well that was not a real option though as a person would be asked to light the candle once they did it they would say since you have lighted it that means you have accepted to be ragged. So now the candle was placed in the middle of the stand and the girls were asked to light that. I was more interested to see the play as I read her eyes which had the mischievous glint in it. And just I guessed the fun started Geet’s face turned was something everyone could not miss as it turned pale with fear and she clutched Pari’s hand & fainted next second. -For a second even I got worried but then the wink confirmed all my doubts. Getting the clue Pari played along shouting “Geet…….what happened Geet…get up… get up…. Please someone get some water.” After a while she stood drawing everyones attention to herself. When the seniors questioned her, the reply just shook everyone but I was just lost in that melody and couldn’t stop the smile. Geet replied as a scared kitten shuttering and trying to hard to form even a word that “I burnt it …. I burnt it”. Well ever Pari was confused so enquired “what did you burn Geet.” “B…..B……Blub” But looks like seniors were not falling for her drama as she was asked to light the candle now. -I was now curious to know more about her plan as the naught sparkle twinkled in her eyes. She with trembling fingers tried to light the candle but stick failed to burn. Geet said “It is not burning so can I leave for the class sir.” Finally not able to withstand the bugging kitten they let go of her. We will trap her someother time is what I heard a senior whisper into another senior. Her eyes showed she had won this play but that play was not only for her but for everyone there. With a confident & smiling face she left, actually she was concealling more may be she would have danced at her victory but stayed quite because of the people around her. -After she left what happened was really a boon to others as none were able to light the candle with the sticks and were given a green signal to leave to class without any interruption as none of the juniors revealed that the stick had been damp. Actually what had happened was when Geet had feel on the ground the box had feel down in moist grass, which none of them saw at that time. Now the seniors were getting suspicious why none are able to light it are they acting? Then one of them noticed the wetness of the sticks. So when it was my turn they changed the rule if you light it only then you will be set free. -I never had lost any game or battle then how could I just bow down when it was the question of lighting a candle. I made my hands covered there vision of the candle and the stick and within seconds I lit the candle without any trouble. What did they thought that this is the only stick through which the light could be generated. There are other ways to do that & winning over me is not going to happen ever. Without any further delay I dropped the match box in the nearby bin & went to the class with a stride which meant not to be stopped by anyone. -I was joined by the guy who came running towards me while he said “Hey man, slow down, how did you do that”. I didn’t stop but started to move towards my designated class. When he came in front of me introducing himself “Hi, I am Yash and you are” “Maan” was the only thing which I said and entered my class to see Geet in the same class of mine. -Another lecture starts from today, well that is one thing I always disliked but still I have never let the other person to feel that I am not one of the keen listener as I don’t ignore them but just bear there words which some or the other time has been useful. This time I had a silver lining say it a distraction or attraction which would last for atleast a little while. -I entered the class to witness Geet who sat at the front bench with her was Pari, looks like both are friends that they are sticking together. Class was almost full any time the classes would start as the time to start was nearing. I sat away from everyone as I was never a man who needed company. -My loneliness didn’t last for long as it was accompanied by the slim nerd with broad forehead and wide cheek bones that narrow to a small chin with the naroow frame spectacles guy Yash I wished it was Geet beside me but this time I have to bear with this one as the guy, yes Yash was behind me and had followed me to the place where I had selected to sit. Well there was a special thing at this position and that was the view I would get, from here I could see the professors & behind the dias was a glass on which the image I could see was of the reflection of Geet. -Time passed a person came said something and then my eyes went back to Geet who was busy in writing and then she was lost in seeing something when I glanced where she was looking at I saw some other person who stood at the podium. I wonder where the other person went but before I could ponder about that my eyes went on the pen which was just about to touch the curvy glossy lips of hers. -Constant bugging of Yash gained my attention as he was mentioning something about some Economics, business and management I glared back at him to stop him from irritating me. As I take a quick look at the platform to witness yet another different person there. Have I started seeing things, was that a mirage or did the face of the person change like chameleon? -I wanted to see what was happening around so I kept watching him but as the person was a lean bald guy he wasn’t covering the glass behind giving me more access t0 my distraction she was time & again glancing over her lace tied around her wrist. It took a minute more to realise she was getting bored maybe that’s why she was checking the time. That is when I checked the time which said 3 and half hours has been passed since I have been sitting here in this place. That means this is the 4th class of the day & I haven’t heard a word from anyone. -Suddenly Geet’s face had shone and next second there was a long ring indicating the end of the first session and once the unknown professor left the room she & Pari flew from there may be they were hungry. Half n hour of break like everyone I too headed towards the canteen to check what I can get to fill my appetite. I had got one plate of food and sat away from the crowd when I saw my hearts leisure pursuit the blue girl getting her plate filled with food. -I saw them looking at the whole canteen to check for a place just then Yash who was just behind them showed the table where I am sitting. He wanted to watch her everymove but staring like that when the other person was watching straight back at you was not manners and that too when I held the fire to consume her. -My eyes were unwilling to obey my order to look anywhere but her. Then somehow I managed to concentrate on the food but it was just for a second then it was back on her. Fortunately this time she was looking at something else at the other end. She was looking at that direction more intently making my inside to burn. I turned my gaze towards her vision and that enraged me again as Geet was looking at the seniors and one of them who was leading the ragging session was heading to our table. I wouldn’t mind breaking his bones or even burning him to show him the glimpse of hell. -He was just a feet away from his table when the ground under him vanished as he lost balance and swan through the air bang his nose to the ground. He was carrying a plate of food he had picked it up on his way and all of it he had been carrying in his hand fell on his head and finally even the plate hit his head giving him the award he deserved. That’s when I noticed the wet floor and the caution board kept to be careful as the floor was slippery. -A slight giggle caught my ears out of the whole laugh going around the canteen and that was from none other than the girl who sat infront of me. She was trying very hard not to laugh as it would only instigate the others and bring us under their scanner. But even then she couldn’t stop the smile that escaped against her wishes and adored her lips. The twinkle in her eyes which held the power to hypnotise even a saint. -It was the first time she sat so close to me and I was failing to stick to my previous decision of not to stare at her but when did the heart listen when God’s such a exquisite creation was right before my eyes. She had her eyes fixed on the table I just didn’t know what is so interesting out there on it while I couldn’t move my gaze from her. I wished she looked up to me at least once so that I could read what she was thinking. Maybe she didn’t noticed me till now as she was busy with the laugh she got to see here but before I could make that statement sink into my heart she raised her lashes to meet my molten eyes to lose the whole world around us or to find a new way together. -Change is the only thing which is constant in life and is the same thing which I am experiencing now. My sense’s which has always been active in alerting me of my surroundings has changed its allegiance. My eyes never leaves the sight of her as it only tries to find more about her while I always search to hear her melodious voice in every sound that hits my ears, I wait for the moment of slight touch of her veil every time we have bump into one another. It takes every ounce of my will to resist from tasting this forbidden fruit. She is all bent to change me as she smells like a dew drop making me to hate the thought why I hated that before. -The fact which I always certain about eradicating the darkness & lighting it seems to be lost with the way my life had taken a turn. My day which always used to start with the sprinting before the breaking of dawn to keep me fit and focussed has also changed. Now after sprinting I would do my exercise using fire to help me keep focus on the issue that is on the hand. Every day I try new ways with fire I would light up the edges of the stick with fire and swinging the blazing stick in different ways so as to wipe out that vision which has plastered to my eyes. -That day when our eyes had met, the world around me had just ceased to exist. Those deep blue eyes held me captive in her spell that I felt I wandered into a place where every thing was so serene that I didn’t know whether I was lost before or am I getting lost now. I was looking deep into violet & green mixed pupils of her to find what all secrets that could unfold infront of me. But what I found was a haze image of person’s face which started to disturb the tranquilly of those orbs a bit later what I saw was it was not just the disturbance but vanquishing the glow with the flame of that persons mere presence which turned into my face. That was the harsh reality of mine which broke my trance and I had left the table in a rush leaving everyone to ponder anything what they wish. -I would now rather light up the whole place to make me remember the fact of my presence in anyones life would only harm everyone. How could I forget why I am all alone? I break one another stick that was in my hand with the rage which had only amplified the concealed fire in me. I have led lonely life because of this reason, when ever I have lost focused I have not only lost my dearest and nearest but also have felt the burnt of it my own self. How unlucky am I to even not retain a companion for even a small part of this long life. With these thoughts cruising in my mind everytime I would never know when the dawn breaks & the day starts. But with my starting ignorance with the surroundings one had not left to remind me about my college and that was Yash who used to call me with his stupid problems. -Exactly now I got a call from Yash making me realise the time as even the sun elevated high in the sky failed to be gain my attention as I was busy fight with the inner battle. I switched on the Bluetooth and without a second delay he started his cribbing. -That reminds me of the act of last night when I had held the light in my hand & had snapping the fingers lighting it & switching it off with my thoughts running about the past and trying to get the things straight in present. -“15 minutes.” I reply and make my way to start yet another day just like past 8 months but before I leave this shore I put of the fire which I had set around the place. Out of all these things against me this is one thing that I am glad of this deserted place to give me my privacy. -As always my eyes search that place where I had seen her on the first day but as every other day even today I couldn’t see her there maybe it was just by chance that she was here that day. I again console my heart which still wants to see her against my will. And in these 8 months every single day didn’t end without an encounter of ours but every time I shifted my course away from her as those eyes held something which could not be comprehend. During the classes I try to gauge her reactions but she didn’t let me through her lashes making it difficult to read her. -Things which made these encounter possible were Yash & Pari and their budding love story. There talks left me know more about Geet, how she is, how even she came here after losing her family. How lonely she has become now and how she is coping with her life. What her aims are, how she has influenced Pari to be more focused about the future. I get to hear each and every word about them from Yash. -There is not a single place in the college which doesn’t remind me of our encounter and just a week ago when Geet was searching for Pari near this fountain at the entrance of the college where I am standing that was the time we met again face to face to let me read her mind through her own blue eyes. -This time when the cover of her lashes had been shed for my view all I could see was the same mischief gleam in it. But what is she upto now, did that senior again became the scapegoat of her acts. She has been enjoying that senior’s state to an extent which none knew except me as always after every fall of his she had walked away with a winning stride. One thing which even I didn’t know was did she do anything which always landed him in trouble or was that a pure coincidence that whenever she was present he was embarrassed with one or the other thing. -Last time I had accompanied Yash to the mall as girls wanted to do there shopping while Yash wanted to join them and I also went along with him. Once they had roamed alround the mall we had settled down in the food court to fill the hunger of stomach. The seating arrangement was in a semi circle round the table and at one end was Geet next to her was Pari and next was Yash, after him I sat. -I smiled looking at the them planning for the seminar which I didn’t even know there was I never had to bothered for any academic activity as even before I realise the need of the work it would have been done for me too. Yash was someone who used to do it for me I never did ask him for but he simple did it for me and then it become a silent treaty that he used to hand over all the assignments to me. I could have asked him the reason for it but then I never indulged in talking with anyone not even Yash, who was my hostel roommate. -Pari loved Yash but always gets irritated with his “I am scared attitude” college works were not an issue but handling the world or people was something he always held a back foot. I guess this was the reason Yash always used to be with me scared to be alone, scared that he might just get into trouble and I tagged with him because he never asked any questions about me but just used to bug me with non stop talking about the college or Pari or her friend Geet. That was much more than a vital reason to actually tolerate him and his actions. -There was sudden hustle bustle in the food court, apparently some waiter was pushed by someone making all the food in his hand to spilled on the ground and that person was none other than our same senior who had lead our ragging session. The owner was all set to bash the waiter & dismiss him from the job as he thougt the waiter couldn’t even handle his customers properly, creating disturbance to them and also damaging his places aesthetics. -And this senior of ours who was having fun in this trouble just was leaving creating the mess and while crossing over the table next us the kid who sat there was supposed to have her milk in the bottle but the kid opened the cap in a way that all the milk erupted out of it spilling it all over the place along with the wetting the pants of our beloved senior in turn making him embarrass infront of all the people. At that time her eyes showed “you deserve it” look. -Today too her eyes conveyed the same thing to me but who deserves that, was that me or was that someone else. I was still searching for answers when a loud laughter hit my ears and that was of Yash & Pari who came running & laughing even before I could ask them they started to narrate that the gardener was having trouble why water stopped suddenly coming in his pipes while watering the plants and then he tried to twist them in all direction water gushed out like a stream which unfortunately showered on our same darling senior. -Once Yash was here I moved out to our hostel when Yash again started his pleading to accompany him to Pari’s house as she had challenged him “Yash if you love me you have to come to my hime without getting scared of my owner who stayed next door. Only then I will talk to you.” Did I needed this pleadings no defiantly no, but still how would I just give in so I gave him “I am not interested” look and then I finally agreed to him. -We knocked at the door of the girl’s home late at 12 midnight as it was quite a distance we had to travel. There was hesitation quite visible on Pari’s face as she opened the windows to check who is banging the door at this hour. I could clearly see one was shocked while the other pretended to be shocked as she was not afraid of facing any situation. As it was a season of rain many would come inside the front yard for shelter but now it wasn’t raining either and even if it was entertaining an outsider at this hour was not safe. -We stood at a distance so when she checked the window none were visible, then she had a confused look thinking who banged on the door. Just when she thought to close the window and return to bed we came out of the shadows scaring her a bit as she asked who it is. But only thing she heard was her own sound and crackle sound of the dry leaves. -Surprise was the word Yash screamed making her squeal in shock but then she was happy to find her love leaving his inhabitation self. -Surprise was the word Yash screamed making her squeal in shock but then she was happy to find her love there leaving his inhabitation self and visiting her. -“Yash is this the way you come. There is a calling bell which you could always use then why were you banging the door like that. You just scared the hell out of us.” Pari growled on Yash. -“I don’t know why she gets scared suddenly of such little things.” said Pari referring to Geet’s action. -“Yash left a sigh once Geet left as he can have his little talk with Pari now without interruption. Now you will do as I say” Yash whispered. -Looking at them I thought they need a little more privacy so…. -I left that place at once and started to move backwards when I heard something rather say some sound. That made me realised that the path I choose leads to the back yard of the house where Geet went. The thought that she is there was enough for me to move more faster my mind constantly warned me not to go and face at this time but when did mind had any say in front of this heart. -My luck was not with me today as suddenly there was lighting followed by a noisy thunder. Normally boys liked these situations where girls would be scared and cling to boys but here it was a different story as I despised rain. Seeing the pouring rain my legs freeze at the place I was safe under the shelter in the pitch darkness where no one knew anyone would exist. Even in the most solitary life I have an angel who had descended from the heaven whom I could gaze till my hearts content. -Geet was in her light violet velvet suit stood admiring the sky above. I stood as far as possible but my eyes could view her from head to toe, I guess she was also standing below some shelter as there was not a drop of rain falling on her. She was not only admiring it but also waiting for the rain to fall as the moment she stretched her palm a drop fell on it, she did the same again and again collecting the drops of the rain in her palm. It looked as if the rain was waiting for the orders of her to fall. Once it was full she let them drop on the ground making the sound like pearls were falling off from the necklace as they didn’t just fall but also they had another path to follow. -She was the commander in chief imposing the flow of rain. Slowly the drops of rain increased & made its way from her shoulders to her long silky hands gliding over them to reach the small little fingers of her just before they descended to reach there fellow droplets. If that was the sight I beheld unknown to her next set of her acts just made my insides move as molten lava. -The water which blessed themselves touching her forehead slid through the sides measuring the length of her sleek neck before they disappeared into the fabric. The view brought him of my revive giving me a reality check about my act. I was not supposed to look at her like this minutely. She has always hid behind the mask of a meek girl and now thinking no one is here she would have let those masks off her face. -She might have not been this free had she known about my presence here. But I didn’t have it in me to turn back from her. This time I wanted her to decide and it would be easy on me to feel her rejection than turning back from her. With this decision I let my legs lead towards the magnetic pull. -I couldn’t have stepped in rain too so I stood at the rim of the shelter making my presence known to her. Passing the message towards her clearly that she is not alone to let her barriers down and baring her oneself to me. She stood in the middle, hands out stretched to let the rain drench her. Even after making my presence evident she didn’t deterred was she so involved in her own world that what is happening around, who is there beside her didn’t matter or was she giving me a treat by letting me to witness her subtle movements of unparalleled grace. -Rain which had drenched her whole form gave a shiny effect to her. With a determination which none could stop her to express herself today neither the rain nor my presence. She bent her back in a semi circle swinging her hands in a way that looked like a white rainbow twinkling in the moon light. Was she dancing with rain or was rain dancing with her, was she following it or was that following her moves was all I could ponder about as she and rain matched steps with each other. -Unknown to me “Geet” came out from my lips it came out just as a whisper and I doubt whether my own ears heard it or not. But as the name left my lips the rain just came to end like it was waiting for me to utter and it would stop and with not a drop of rain pouring her whole concentration turned to me. I stood there waiting for her reaction, would she walk away as I do or…. I didn’t know what to expect. She slowly closed the distance between us and stood right in front of me. -Her eyes held an unknown compassion which I could not understand. I felt a sudden chill spreading around me was it the dip in the temperature or was it her who was cooling my fire in me. My eyes closed for a brief second to hide the things which it may give away if I look deep into the blue ones it may questioned me anything. There were many things which my heart wanted to convey but words were just not enough to express them. Many emotions were binding me with you bring in a new flavour sweeping us into a different world. This is the riddle which could not be hidden within me or with in her or even the world. -I was still entranced in her when I felt her chilled hands touch my cheeks sending shiver down my body. It took only a second to ignite the fire in me; it took lot of efforts to break the shackles to let my hand to stretch so that I could feel that creamy skin. She closed her eyes to engrave the feel of me on her hand, so did I wanted to engrave it. I was just an inch away when she trembled back and before I could comprehend anything or hold her she collapsed on the ground & like how the water gushes out when the gates of the dam are opened the rain poured out on her. -What happened was something has happened with me many times before too when ever I have left my confines things has gone messy. That is the reason why I have to be alone & none are allowed to be with me. My mother left me giving birth to me to live in this world all alone; my father was there only till that another natural calamity which shook more than half of the village when I was a small kid. From that time all I have led is a life alone each day was like a year or even more than that. -Relatives were there to support me but even that didn’t last for more than few days as they would fell into deep troubles due to me. So I had spent most of my life in an orphanage far away from everyone who was my family once. This was my curse which I am still burdened with. And today that has spread to Geet, she fell the moment I thought to ignore my curse but it was all present to remind me of the repercussions if avoided. -I still stood the same way gazing at her fallen state; I couldn’t gather enough courage to even check her. What if she also just left because of my mistake? It would have been better to be away than to live in guilt for becoming an endangered curse to someone else. With the sudden enormous sound of water gained the attention of Pari & Yash so they came out to check the reason for it and all they could see was Geet lying in the pool of water while I had lost my voice to tell anything to them. -I started to take my steps away from her whereas Pari was trying to revive Geet by patting her cheeks. Yash asked her to pull under the shelter first so that she wouldn’t catch cold. They tried to rub her legs & hands it was turning little blue due to chillness of water. Yash looked back at me to ask what happened but what would I reply, there was nothing to tell it was all my fault to have agreed with him to accompany Yash to her place. -My strides were moving fast to just hide myself away from everyone especially from those blue eyes mermaid of my life. I push all the things in front of me & put everything on fire with my own hands but would that reduce the blaze in me. Ripping of my self also didn’t reduce the helplessness in me. Why should I be compled to live a life like this with no love no happiness all alone nothing pleasing can exist around me? Why it is that anything that wants to give me bit contentment would turn into ashes before I could embrace it. Why can’t I hold a little bliss in my palm? -All I had heard was they were taking her to the nearby doctor, I so wanted to check on her but it was best with me not going near her. I waited at the shores waiting for the sun to break the darkness, which was actually trying to consume me within it. After what seems like eternity I just couldn’t wait more but wanted to know if she was fine, I decided I would only see from far & then will move out before anyone would actually notice my presence. -I stood at the doorway hearing that melodious voice of speaking to the doctor which was a relief till I heard there talks. The doctor was quite upset about something but what was the fault of Geet in all these things which happened. -“Geet, I am telling you last time you have to be careful, I can’t hide these things everytime. It was just pure luck that your friends bought you to me, what would have happened if they would have taken you to other doctor.” Doctor was scolding sternly. -“Doc, I would have managed it.” Geet answered meekly. -“Right the way you just managed it today. I have answered others as you got dehydrated but I want answers from you now? What happened & how did it happen if you had taken all the precautions.” Doc questioned. -“2 days, what will I do here for 2 days? I am perfectly fine & I would like to take your leave now as I need to attend the class.” Replied shocked Geet on the sudden order passed by her doctor but when did she listen to others. -“No, you are my friend, so bye.” Geet stromed out of the room after saying that. -There talk left me in thinking what was it that they were talking about was she hiding something or is she under some medication due to some disease. But if I question the doctor she would definitely not spit out the truth. Doctor must have known Geet for a quite a period and that’s why she was so comfortable & then also she hid the truth with Yash & Pari also that too even before she consulting Geet. I should follow her to know more but after what happened yesterday night I need to be very careful & stay away from her. -I have been observing her more meticulously from past few hours but nothing actual changed in her ways neither in action nor in words. Still we didn’t speak neither she nor Yash or Pari actually asked me about that night. It was as if nothing happened, don’t know what Geet said to them but they were actually being careful with Geet, making sure that she had lot of liquids. They didn’t let her give presentations in seminar also but only person who regretted that was me as I couldn’t hear her. -Yash asked me to help them in the last seminar and the group discussions for the year before college breaks for the exams so that Geet could take proper rest. I agreed but I didn’t know what I am supposed to do so he gave some notes which I had to go through & speak about them. Seminar was said to be on one of the topics in some subject which we read but the group discussion was just a practice session so that everyone would get good exposure to the presentation skills. I actually wondered what am I going to do as I had not an iota of idea how these are done but this would help Geet is all I know so I had to do it. -Seminar finished & I don’t exactly remember what all I have to say. Seeing my capabilities with words they had given me a small part. Was that a 5 min material which I finished it in 2 minute or was that only a 1 minutes one for which I too 2. But whatever it was that ended without much hanky panky. Well one hurdle was crossed & the other awaited. Yes the group discussion would start in a while, groups were made. Pari, I & few other class mates were selected and made the group. The topic was read out it was “Myth”. -With that few started to oppose it & many started to agree with it. But when I heard what all they were discussing I couldn’t stop my self from putting my view in it. -“How could you say that God is a myth” I questioned. -“If he was there then people would not have suffered unnecessarily, take your example are you not an orphan… why?? because God took away your parents that too in a natural calamity which was controlled by God.” Pari replied. -“It was not the God who controlled these calamities they are done by the people who are posses the power to protect the nature and people in this world.” I counter replied. -“Oh you are a believer of those grandma bedtime stories in which God entrusts some power to three people who were termed as guards of the earth but these people quarrelled among themselves to attain the supremacy over the human beings. If only one is left they would be invincible who could be termed as equal to God.” Pari questioned. -The whole discussion was heating up between Pari & Maan and everyone present there were just a mute spectators as they didn’t know where it all would go to. Some had heard these stories in there childhood from there elders but then with time all these things were termed as only story. -“Yes I am a believer of it but that is not the whole truth what all things they would have to undergo for being a guard is not known to many. Life span of these persons would be more than 400 years which they should be spent away from everyone if those powers are entrusted. These powers would be there curse but also a boon, which could be used to restrict many calamaties. And humans never get to know what things were averted but can only know & rememeber when these gaurds fail. Yes they fight among themselves but are these fights for gaining supremacy or to gain freedom from those things is still a mystery which none have been able to know it till now.” I said. -I would have said many more things but I was stopped by the sapphire eyed girl who pleaded me through her eyes to not say a word more and how could I utter a single word after that. My tongue was now tied with her plea so I let every other person to continue with the discussion and in no time the hour flee so did the students from the class. -This was the last class for the year and students would forget about all these talks is what I could wish for as many were worried about their individual exams or was excited for the farewell party of the seniors which the juniors had organised for. I don’t know whether I blabbered more than required or was my speech revealed more than necessary things. -Pari responded “He started” pointing all the blame towards me. -“I know who started what even I was here only. Now do you think about yourself Maan what were you doing talking all these stories.” Geet turned towards me questioning but she was shocked and continued “Now where did he go?” as I was not there standing but had started to move out of the class saving my self from there questioning eyes. -Today is the farewell party girls were dressed in red & white combination where as boys were in red & black combo. For a change juniors had planned to rag the seniors on there own farewell which was led by Pari & group, well I knew whose idea this would be. Time has changed so had the relations too in past 10 months seniors have become more friendly and supportive, thus playing pranks with them would not be a trouble and anyways they are leaving the institute so the coast is clear for fun. -Party was in the open air hall in the grounds of the college which had a stage at one end where Geet was speaking to Pari who stood beside her with today’s event manager & at the far end was the fountain where I stood gazing her every move. She looked angelic in that white salwar of hers as blue veil adored the slender creamy neck. Yash was running behind Pari helping her out with all his love and I was standing away from everyone feeling glad that atleast there are people whom I would love and they are infront of me. -People dressed in vibrant colors were already to enjoy & have fun as the party was about to start. Whereas things don’t happen as you wish for and who knows that better than me and exactly the way I had the intrusion there was a sudden hassle alround the place everyone were running into the college that’s when I witnessed the tornado coming towards us. -I stood waiting the tornado to come to me as what can it do to me carry & through me somewhere that’s it right. However when it was just a yard away from the ground when it stood still as if something stopped its way. When I look around the ground there is no one present but my eyes stopped at one place where a girl lay may be unconscious and it didn’t take a minute to know who that was as she is Geet only girl who was in her blue while everyone was in red & white. -I flew away from the college far away from the place where I burnt her with my own flames as I was not able stand any more minute at that place; how long do I have to face the same thing again and again. Everytime when the sadness has engulfed me I have always consoled my heart that it isn’t my mistake everyone has to go through these pains in their long-lasting life. Heavy as this heart feels now with the overwhelming emotions I stare at the Sun which is all set to take a dip in the vast expanse of ocean but now I have nothing to hold on to there is a deep stillness which has settled in me as the world has moved but I haven’t. -With the increase in the pour even ocean seems to be more intended to swallow me within as I hit the first waves of the huge mass. It left me shocked as I could hold to anything, I felt like I am moving without my own will. Today there was only one will that was to try every possible way to put off this blaze. Even the thought has not left my mind I was hit by another way, now it seemed as if I was floating in it and next second I was submergered in it. I want to go deep into it so I tried to find the ground and started to walk into the depth of it. -As I stepped deep within my luck just flew away because the water which was soothing my soul just sweeped in making a space between me & the water mass. Same like Geet had created when we were in the college, was she here or was it someone else who possessed the same power. “Geet …” my lips took her name as a whisper and just as that day today also rain which had been pouring stopped and my attention went towards the form in the shadows. -“Yes … Maan we can but are you willing to be with me till the end. Will you love me without any of my ability to control water? Will you love me….?” She replied with uncertainity. -“Maan, you need to let go this fear and worry nothing will happen to us. Yes, we will have to work hard to survive now.” She pressed her ear to my chest while she continued “But together we will surpass every hurdle that comes in our way. This isn’t yours anymore but mine now so stop troubling it.” She said refering to my heart also showing her dominance over me. -“Shh…You don’t have to voice it Maan, your face convey’s it all, every thought that your heart analyzes, every notion it evaluates, every outcome it concludes. You are just as open book to me as I am to you.” Geet declared her point. -By the time I was back Yash was up and had sat up against the rock as I hand over a bottle of water to him. He seemed surprised and undoubtly happy about something. -“You guys are making fun of me and we are all worried for you. I wouldn’t have been awake had I sleept last night, but after that storm had eloped you guys there isn’t a place where we have not searched you. Today I thought lets look at the opposite direction too and here I found you guys.” Yash explained the reason of his presence. -“Carry him, I can walk we will get more oppurunities going forward.” Geet smiled winking at me. -And today this diary answered me why I could never hear what they were worried about was that about the mess or about me contolling my powers as both could read each other face without voicing a word from their mouth. Today I am very happy reading that my parents too had powers like me, actually defeated the air power and that’s why I their daughter am gifted with power of air. -She grew faster than we could think and tomorrow is her 18th birthday and I couldn’t see her confused and worried anymore uncessarily too. Yes even her face revealed every secret of hers. And that’s why I decided to place this diary in a place where she could get her hands on it. -“When were we separate from eachother Geet.” Papa buttered Mama so easily. -I received my Affinity Tele last Friday and I bought it with the intention of making it a test bed for upgrades and mods. -The next thing on my list is locking tuners. -After reading in other forums, I couldn't find any drop in replacement because of the holes size in the Affinity. -My question is for those who have tried the same mod on an Affinity Tele, which locking tuners have you used and how easy/difficult was it? -Personally, I'm leaning towards vintage locking tuners and if possible the same ones I used on my CV 60s strat which is the Gotoh SD91-MG. -Thanks for the reply. Do you mean you used Allparts locking tuners but had to enlarge the holes to fit them? -in my experience, I once had a set of original Gotoh Kluson/vintage style locking tuners installed into my Squier Standard Tele. -I remember that the Gotoh set came with conversion bushings (aside from the vintage bushings) so you can retrofit the kluson style tuners into the tiny holes for the stock tuners on Squiers and they fit nicely into the headstock. it looked clean and and the tuners were very stable. -not so sure if the Affinities have the same tuners as the Standards, but I would assume they would be the same.

Couldn't resist and had to buy one to try out. Oh my, I found my new preamp. This thing sounds Killer and very clear and natural. Not eq-ed and all colored up like most preamps on the market!!!! Very cool with the tone knob punched out you get the instrument direct with a wonderful smoothness and a volume control on the U5. It also has an engage button for the 6-position eq setting which is wonderful!!! I hat all the parametric color your sound crap. Why buy a wonderful and expensive instrument to never hear it. Ok anyway, I have been so happy with this thing that I had to come and post a thread to see who all is using or has used these and do you use it for an actual preamp? -I have used it as a preamp before(though I have never actually owned it). It is killer! Easily the clearest and warmest sounding preamp I have played through. If I don't end up buying an iAMP head, I am going to go preamp power amp with the U5. -Its awesome and so pure! -Anyway, I'm working a few other avenues. They sound killer. I just need to get the rack ear's so I can install it in a rack with the Crest LT series which is a wonderful musical amp in it self! -Brian, Just sell that Chamber fretless Benavente for $10,000 and you are all set for the avalon. I got my U5 coming next week...will let u know about the sweet sounds with all my Benaventes!!! -I used mine to go direct into the PA at a gig last weekend. Sounded great. Clean and pure. Mighty fine gear. -I have one. Very nice. -I bought it for the times that they tell you there is a backline and you show up, with no amp, and the backline is the PA. -You DON'T always want some soundmen to have complete control over your sound. I have mine in a little padded Gator bag that was for microphones. I just trimmed away the foam and it fits perfect. -After a four-week hiatus, the Verizon IndyCar Series roars back to life in the desert. What used to be Phoenix International Raceway is now called ISM Raceway. What does ISM stand for? Ingenuity Sun Media, of course. If that doesn’t evoke fond racing memories, I’m not sure what will. -The new name notwithstanding, IndyCar has a very rich history at Phoenix. AJ Foyt won the first Indy car race held at the D-shaped oval back in 1964. Of course, Foyt won all but three races in the thirteen race 1964 season so that shouldn’t be a huge shock. In those days, the USAC Championship made two stops each year in Phoenix – generally at the beginning and end of the season. Lloyd Ruby won the season-ending race in 1964, long after Foyt had wrapped up the championship. Sadly, top-driver Bobby Marshman lost his life after a crash at Phoenix while tire testing there in late November of 1964 – just a few days after the race. -Some of the biggest names in racing have won at Phoenix. Aside from the aforementioned Foyt and Ruby; names like Don Branson, Jim McElreath, Mario Andretti, Gary Bettenhausen, Al Unser, Swede Savage, Bobby Unser, Gordon Johncock, Johnny Rutherford, Tom Sneva, Rick Mears, Bobby Rahal, Michael Andretti, Arie Luyendyk, Emerson Fittipaldi, Helio Castroneves, Tony Kanaan and also the immortal name of Jim Guthrie – they’ve all won at Phoenix. All kidding aside; except for Guthrie – that’s a very impressive list that reads like a Who’s Who of Indy car racing. -Phoenix was reconfigured in 2010, mostly to handle the much heavier stock cars that prefer higher banking. The front straightaway was widened and the banking was slightly increased and converted to progressive banking. This will be the last time the track looks the way it does now. Next year, the seating will be completely different and the start/finish line will be between Turn One and the dogleg which is in what is currently called the backstretch. By moving the start/finish line, the numbering of the turns will be different as well. -But the biggest question looming over this weekend is whether or not IndyCar will even be back next year. This is the third year that IndyCar has returned to the 1.022 mile oval in the desert. If I’m not mistaken, the current contract was a three-year deal. Track owner, ISC – a sister company to NASCAR, has a history of not being patient while IndyCar tries to build attendance at some of their tracks. Watkins Glen and Fontana have given IndyCar two chances at their tracks and the plug was recently pulled for the second time at both tracks. If this weekend’s race is poorly attended, will that be it for Phoenix? If so, it hardly seems fair. -The date has been juggled since the series returned in 2016. It was early April two years ago, then due to the Final Four being in Phoenix last year, it was moved to later in the month. This year it returns to what is hoped to be a new traditional slot for many years to come. -But in order for that to happen, attendance must improve. For attendance to improve, fans need to be given a reason to come out. Quite frankly, the last two races at Phoenix have not given fans a reason to come out or return. To be kind, they have been snoozers. To be blunt, they have been stinkers. -The previous car in the aero kit era had so many wings and winglets all over them, they created a ton of turbulence in their wake. In short, it was very difficult for anyone to pass. The result was two years of boring one-mile processions. Experts last year told us that the new car would be much more racy at Phoenix. What we saw during February testing at Phoenix suggested otherwise. I’m telling myself that it was a test when everyone was trying to emerge unscathed and that the race will be much different. -Let’s hope so. The Verizon IndyCar Series can’t stand another clunker at Phoenix. They need a good race that will have everyone talking just like the race at St. Petersburg did four weeks ago. If they can see at least a decent crowd tomorrow night and a good race, the series may see a fourth year in a row at Phoenix. If Saturday night’s race is a dud, this might be it at Phoenix for a while and that would be a shame. -IndyCar needs to be at Phoenix. It is one of those tracks like Indianapolis and Milwaukee that is in the DNA of the series. It didn’t upset me that much when Watkins Glen fell off the schedule last year, because IndyCar doesn’t have a long history there. Since 1979, IndyCar has only run eleven races in that thirty-eight year span. Tomorrow night will be the sixty-eighth IndyCar race at ISM Raceway since 1964. That’s a lot of history at one track to not be allowed to come back after the sixty-ninth. -My hope is a good race with a lot of twists and turns, to make people have to catch their breath when it’s over. -One thing that might bring people out is the celebration of Mario Andretti’s last IndyCar win. It took place twenty-five years ago in 1993 at Phoenix. Part of the celebration is the car that his grandson Marco Andretti will run, will have a livery very similar to Mario’s Texaco-Havoline Newman/Haas car from 1993. The car looks good and a tip of the hat needs to go to Marco’s sponsor Oberto. They have allowed the team to deviate from their colors and logos in order to replicate Mario’s 1993 winner as closely as possible. -So who will win this sixty-ninth edition tomorrow night? Sébastien Bourdais was an early out last year at Phoenix, but that was no fault of his. Mikhail Aleshin decided to dive-bomb the field going into Turn Two. Bourdais was an innocent victim. I have to think that he’ll do well tomorrow night. -My guess is that Team Penske will not stay silent two races in a row. Simon Pagenaud won here last season as Penske cars dominated the race. I’m going with last year’s season champ Josef Newgarden. He was rather quiet last month at St. Petersburg on his way to a seventh-place finish. I have an idea that Newgarden, nor his teammates, will not stay quiet two races in a row. I expect the defending series champion to come out swinging. Josef Newgarden will win the Desert Diamond West Valley Phoenix Grand Prix (that’s a mouthful) tomorrow night. -After this race, things get going for real. Next weekend the series travels to Long Beach, and two weeks from now they will be at one of my favorite tracks, Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, Alabama – just east of Birmingham. After an off-weekend, there is the open test at IMS on April 30, which I may or may not be attending. Then the Month of May kicks off on Friday May 11 for practice for the IndyCar Grand Prix. Four days of practice on the IMS oval will be followed by two days of qualifying for the Indianapolis 500. The next weekend will be the 102nd Running of the Indianapolis 500. Then the series goes to Belle Isle and Texas before earning the next break in mid-June. -By then the four-week stretch we just went through with no racing will be a distant memory. After our teaser in March, I feel like IndyCar season is finally here for good. It’s about time! -This entry was posted on April 6, 2018 at 4:04 am and is filed under IndyCar. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. -Probably one of the most anticipated races of the season for me. I think this race will be a true test of the new aero kit, if it puts on a good race here it’s a strong sign they got things right. -I watched the ’93 Phoenix race yesterday and there was more passing in the first 25 laps than the last two IndyCar Phoenix races combined and even though the entire field was a lap down by lap 50 every minute of the race was thrilling and exciting. We need some of that magic tomorrow night. -My favorite bit of Marco’s tribute paint scheme is the use of Circle K essentially in place of K Mart. Dig those red Ks. -I’m looking forward to this one if only for the mystery of how the new kit will race. I actually thought the test had a few moments where the cars looked to be racing more competitively than they did the last two years. -I thought an Oberto was a good cigar. Turns out it is a good sausage. I’m looking forward to other sponsorships of this genre. -I am about to become an octogenarian. It would bring me (and A.J.) a great deal of happiness to see him do well over there in the desert Saturday. It has become apparent to me that I will likely not outlast Mr. Anthony Joseph Foyt Jr. and I may get black flagged in my sleep some night. With that in mind, I attached one of those IMS grandstand seats to my Acorn Stair Lift. Then I put Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” on my turntable, or the sounds of a Novi or Offenhauser, and ride up to bed each night. True dat. -Congrats Ron on your upcoming birthday. Just watched Quali and Mr. Foyt looks well after his bee encounter. -Thank you young lady. I also watched Quali and Mr. Foyt does indeed look well. I think the race tomorrow will be very interesting and fun to watch. This is a track that Seb can do well on, so he is my pick. I watched him run away and hide from the rest of the field at the Milwaukee Mile a few years ago. Milwaukee is a track with the same degree of difficulty as Phoenix. -I was thrilled for Seb. Here’s to him to have a great day out there tonight. -I think it more than cool that Paul Newman’s daughter Clea will be serving as Grand Marshall for the race. My source for that is the track news site. -Bryon Sperber has invited one of Paul Newman’s daughters to be the Grand Marshall for tonight’s race. That is very appropriate and just damned cool for Bryon to do that. -Well, I failed to finish reading this blog post before the race in which George’s prediction was fulfilled. -The collection Arias,, arr. represents a specific aggregation or gathering of resources found in City of Westminster Libraries. -1 Items in the Collection Arias,, arr. -Data Citation of the Collection Arias,, arr. -Flexibility trap – the effects of flexible working on the position of female professionals and managers within a corporate environment. -employee and managerial positions with the utilisation of flexible work arrangements in a corporate environment in the country with a full-time dominated work culture. The data represent a rare case study of the work environment in a Czech branch of one multinational company. In particular, this paper discusses conditions under which flexible arrangements are available and its impact on gender equality. The seven analysed interviews derive from a larger study on the corporate environment which included 35 interviews and a series of participatory observations. The data reveal the diverse and often subtle forms of discrimination of working mothers, who use the flexible working arrangement as a work-family reconciliation strategy. At the formal level, the part-time professionals are restricted in pay and in access to the company benefits. In the informal relations within the workplace, their work lacks of sufficient recognition of colleagues and superiors. Overall, part-time work for female professionals and managers leads to an entrapment between the needs of their family and the expectations of their employer. The research reveals the practical limitation in introducing work-life reconciliation policies. The results show the need to focus on promoting better conditions for employees working part-time. Also, it shows that managerial and highly demanding professional positions can be executed on a part-time basis if the work environment is open towards accepting this arrangement. Moreover, the findings outline the possibilities of developing workplace practices in the Czech Republic in a woman-friendly direction. Specific legislative arrangements should be enacted, providing better protection for employees in non-standard employment. The amount of research on female professionals working part-time or from home is rather limited in context of the post-communist countries. -Arrangements have been made for a visit to the Dover CGOC at Langdon Battery, Swingate in the afternoon of Wednesday 3rd April.

But have they crossed a line? -Once considered a taboo marketing approach, the fast-food industry today appears to have brazenly embraced the late-night munchies, according to The Fix. Although advertisements never blatantly refer to pot smoking, subliminal messaging has become more obvious. -Take, for instance, this recent Jack in the Box advertisement. And Taco Bell has created a jingle to go with its latest string of advertisements, which sings of the "late-night munchies." Of course, drive-thru windows open well into the morning hours also cater to the average midnight snacker, but there's little denying who the real target is given the choice of terminology. -"If you're targeting that heavy fast-food user, you need to speak their language," said Denise Yohn, a brand consultant who's worked with restaurants for 25 years, to The Fix. "One way to do that is to talk about partying and munchies. To the mainstream audience it may just sound like late nights and drinking, but to a certain audience they're talking about getting stoned." -It's not the same thing as flagrantly endorsing the use of marijuana, of course. But the fast-food industry no longer appears to think the pothead subculture is off limits either. Perhaps they're just embracing a market force, but the strategy also runs perilously close to catering directly to a drug-induced appetite that drives people to consume their product. -Of course, this wouldn't be the first time that the fast-food industry was accused of catering to addiction. Not only has fast food been proven to be highly addictive, but the industry actually hires scientists to design its food for exactly that purpose. -Whether marketing to stoners crosses an ethical line or not, it certainly seems to be working. Taco Bell has seen its sales spike by 6 percent since launching its "late-night munchies" advertisements. The marketing has been so successful that at least one new upstart fast-food enterprise has decided to sell its line of frozen burritos directly to potheads. Drive-thrus of nearly every major fast-food chain now typically stay open past midnight, undoubtedly due to a steady profit margin. -So long as it works, it's not likely to change. In fact, without any backlash, it may not be long before advertisers compete explicitly for the stoner demographic. -"A lot of companies are skipping the innuendo," said Yohn. "They think it's more effective to be overt. It creates more buzz. I think that's why you see a lot of advertising that seems unapologetically targeted to pot smokers." -Ever since Harold and Kumar went to White Castle, fast food companies seem increasingly blatant about targeting to stoners in their advertisements. -I don’t know about you, but I love tacos! They are a great go-to recipe for busy/lazy days. But, I’ve been getting tired of using my taco seasoning mix. I think I may have overused it or something but it just doesn’t taste good anymore! -I was going through my recipes the other day and found one from my Grandma for her tacos. She is an amazing cook and does her cooking from scratch. Why I didn’t think to use the recipe before, I don’t know. Especially because of how easy it is! And it uses things that most of us already have on hand. -Cook ground beef with seasonings, taco sauce, and ketchup until browned. Heat oil in separate pan over medium-high heat. When heated, drop one tortilla in the oil and cook for 10 seconds (or so) on each side. Lay flat on paper towels to cool down until okay to touch. Add ground beef and other toppings. Enjoy! -Mac McCorkle runs a bar and helps out his partner, who is a agent with the CIA. -When McCorkle took his life savings and began to open a small pub in Bonn, Germany, after being discharged from the army, he wasn't looking for a partner. That didn't stop Mike Padillo from dropping in, handing him a check for half the value of the place, and telling Mac he could either accept the offer or see the opening delayed forever in red tape. -Knowing he really had no choice, McCorkle accepted gracefully, albeit unhappily. To his credit, Padillo, forced by his own superiors to make the extortion, had the decency to be embarrassed. -So began the partnership between the two men, one that would quickly turn into a life-long friendship. Mike Padillo worked for the government (probably the CIA). When not on assignment, he helped run the bar, which grew over the years in success and made both a considerable amount of money. But every couple of months, he would show up, tell McCorkle he'd be gone for a while, and a week or a month would go by with him gone. -Such was the basis for the series which probably was never meant to be one. The ending of the first book made it pretty clear that was it. Then the book won for Mr. Thomas an Edgar for the best first novel of 1966. I'm sure that's when the publishers began to demand a sequel. -The sequel came the next year but this time Mr. Thomas apparently withstood the pressure for more and used his incredible talent on other ideas. Six books, including three in a different non-spy series followed before the pair of McCorkle and Padillo were heard from again. And then it would be 19 years more before the last in the series was written. -Through the years, the two unwavering qualities of this series remained the close friendship between McCorkle and Padillo and the terrific writing skills of Ross Thomas. -McCorkle discovers that his friend and partner has been sacrificed by his superiors in an exchange with the Soviets to get back two defectors. He realizes he is the only one willing to risk it all for Padillo. -Happily married and living in Washington, McCorkle would have been happy to meet his old friend Padillo if McCorkle's wife had been kidnapped to force Padillo to kill someone. -Long out of the game, both men are less than anxious to help protect the future king of a country rich with oil but Padillo owes a huge favor to the ones doing the asking. -The death of a CIA agent didn't raise too much of a fuss until it is learned he wrote a tell-all book which someone wants buried, possibly along with the agent's son who might have it. The son asks Padillo and McCorkle for help. -A fellow spy-fiction fan and friend of mine was almost jumping for joy when he got his hands on "The Backup Men" in 1972-3, shouting, "They're back! McCorkle and Padillo!" You would have thought I'd slapped him by his expression when I asked, "Who?" -After having the first book literally thrust into my hands later and reading the first few pages, I knew I'd never have to ask that question again. I was as hooked as my friend (thank you, Bob Walker, wherever you are!). -It isn't hard to understand why anyone who likes spy-fi would love this series. Mr. Thomas's skill as an author are without a doubt. The man won TWO Edgars. Most writers don't win any. He had two. And deserved them both handily. -Furthermore, the characters are awesomely interesting and developed, the style is both exciting and wry, the locales are perfectly presented, and the plots just make sense. What more can you ask for, except more adventures. -Unfortunately, Mr. Thomas' passing makes that impossible but I like to believe that McCorkle and Padillo are still out there, serving drinks and saving the day. -Interfax news agency has just reported that the head of Fide has announced the creation of the International Chess Party! Datelines Kiev, the report states that President of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) Kirsan Ilyumzhinov announced the creation in Ukraine of a Chess Party, which does not set out to fight for power, and to unite thinking people and in future to become international. -"The purpose of my visit to Ukraine is opening a chess academy in the village of Klesov, Rovenska area. The second is to announce the creation of a Chess Party. There are democratic parties, communist parties, and now there will be a chess party. Why in Ukraine? Because I received proposal by Klesov, which will come in history not only of chess, but also of political thought. This party will be international. I would call it "chess party of the world," the head of FIDE said. -The Chess Queen™ and Her Adventures! -Our first week back was busy as always - we welcomed Mr Zugic back to Denmark, who is our teaching student from Hull University.

Wall plugs are required in nearly all cases where it is necessary to joint woodwork to brickwork, as, for instance, heavily-framed silvered mirrors to the walls of shops. -Fig. 364.—Wall Plugs, Four Varieties. -Fig. 366.—Slot Screwing a Bracket. -Slot Screwing, or Keyhole Screwing, is a most useful way of joining light woodwork in such a manner that the fixing method is not exposed to the eye. A stout screw is inserted to within 3⁄8 in. of the head, as at . In the adjoining piece a hole is bored with a centre bit and a slot is cut with an 1⁄8 in. chisel. The two pieces of timber are placed together, and by sliding the upper piece forward the screw runs up into the slot or keyhole and secures the joint. shows the application of the joint fixing a shaped bracket to the shaped shelf; the bracket and shelf are inverted in the illustration to clearly show the method of jointing. For heavy work special brass plates are obtainable for this purpose; one plate is let flush into the upper piece and the other plate into the lower piece. -Battening .—A good method of joining cross battens to drawing boards and other wide surfaces is shown here. After boring for the screws, slots are cut so as to allow the screws to move along the slots when shrinkage takes place. In a similar method is applied to secure the drawer bottom to the drawer back. If shrinkage takes place in the drawer bottom and it leaves the groove in the drawer front, the screws are slackened, the drawer bottom is knocked up into the groove, and the screws again inserted.

All of you you think you need, just in case… So, I looked it over, determined that some of the food could go, get donated, etc. I could replace it later, and I had enough long term storage to fill the gap if I needed it to. So that is where I am. But what was daunting was loading up buckets, buckets, and more buckets of food… I felt like it would never end. To boot, we’ve moved from a place with a basement. You know, that cool dry place you’re supposed to keep your food storage, to a home without a basement, but a crawl space. So all my food storage is in the warm humid garage at the moment, until I can figure out the next step, which may be a climate controlled storage unit. But that is not a perfect scenario either. I’ll probably get an air conditioner for the garage and kill two birds with one stone, keep it cooler, and kill the humidity as well. -The other issue I have is organizing it all. I have a garage that is full of stuff still in boxes, and it really does need to be sorted out soon, as in the event of an actual emergency, I’ll be wasting a lot of time doing things like digging out a propane heater or the generator that is currently buried. All of this takes time. -Back to the move. I had originally planned on moving all my preps myself. I wanted a higher level of OPSEC. Reality kicked in though with some business travel and barely enough time to pack, so the preps got moved with everything else. That said, many preps were in cardboard moving boxes or in opaque plastic bins. The movers had no clue what they were moving. Other preps were in five and six gallon buckets clearly marked as wheat, flour, beans, and other types of long term food storage. Can you say oops. So much for OPSEC, as anyone that watched Doomsday Preppers or any other preparedness show would know exactly what it was. They asked, and I said I did a LOT of camping, and tried to reinforce it with my three various size tents, and many sleeping bags. I’m not too sure they bought it. -As for guns, ammunition, gasoline, and other items a moving company prohibit, I did move myself the day before the official move. I didn’t want anyone to see them or how many of them. Good thing the neighborhood we bought the house in is relatively quiet. -We’ve been in the house now for almost five months. Everytime I look in the garage, I cringe at all the work there is to do. My mistake was not having a solid plan around moving and organizing my preps. Had I had the time, and access to the house early enough, I would have moved the preps earlier, organized everything, and felt more comfortable about it. Meaning, I really need to get my Bug Out Bag off the floor in the furthest corner of the garage so that it is accessible, get the generator out so that it is accessible, etc. -The moral of the story is, have a plan to stay organized, and stick to it if you plan on moving your preps to a new home or a new location. -New York : Crowell, ©1954. -Pioneers > United States > Juvenile literature. -United States > Biography > Juvenile literature. -The regulation of gaming in Illinois is in suspended animation as the industry waits for the new governor to appoint a chairman to the state’s gaming board. -Despite the uncertainty, Chicago gaming attorney Cory Aronovitz said prospects for casino expansion in the Prairie State should improve under Republican Governor Bruce Rauner. -“I think that the current governor has an appetite for the expansion of gaming,” Aronovitz said. -The original business began not long after the end of World War 2 with the importation of High Performance anchors and ancillary products from predominantly the UK. Stock carrying branches were established in all the main centers of South Africa with competent sales personnel at each branch servicing the construction, mining, utility, petrochemical and general hardware industries in South Africa. -In the early 1980’s the business moved from Isando to its current location in Anderbolt, Boksburg North, where it still has headquarters today. -In 1986 the current shareholders acquired control of the company. Non-core product lines were rapidly shed and, with increased focus and energy, sales grew rapidly and the range of product was steadily expanded to meet the new local and export market demands. The sales staff was expanded with increased emphasis being placed on thorough repeated technical training of all sales personnel to more professionally serve our enlarged customer base. This came at an opportune time with the rapid technical development and advancement in chemical anchoring technology. -From our initial introduction of the IKA brand of anchors, sales have grown well. However sales of the IKA brand of chemical anchors have grown exponentially and have continued to prove their versatility, reliability and high performance throughout the local and export markets. -Fully trained technical sales staff are based at all our branch offices and we offer technical support and advice and stand ready to assist distributors, specifiers and contractors on their anchor selection and installation.

You have the opportunity to help your child excel in academics, but also in life. Empowering children goes beyond nagging them to do homework or offering rewards for good grades. Those things are often necessary, but empowerment takes more. -Empowering your children means using words and encouragement to help them develop self confidence, a sense of identity and a safe environment to explore their interests and even fail. Empowering children takes work, so how will you feel empowered to empower your children? -Take a look at your child’s long term goals. Sit down and develop these goals together. Look beyond getting an A in biology this semester and talk about what career goals they have and what kind of person they want to become. When both you and your child have a long term vision, you will know the most helpful ways to empower your child. As you see them accomplish their goals, you will see how your role has been beneficial for them. -Keep track of your child’s accomplishments. This includes grades and exam scores, but also includes social accomplishments, caring for their community, investing in an outside interest, and acts of kindness that display integrity and character. No child gets it right all of the time, so when you are feeling frustrated by a particular behavior you can remember all of their accomplishments and see the growth and development they are experiencing. -Teenage years are tender years and need to be navigated with extreme care. You are constantly figuring out how to communicate with your teenager and discovering what freedoms and boundaries they need. You are resolving conflicts and at times making necessary demands.

The better you feel about yourself, the more you will be able to empower your student. -Ultimately, make sure you are communicating with your child. You will know what problems they are facing and you will be able to empower them to solve those problems. Children that feel empowered, loved, safe and cared for will find ways to be successful in life. -The World Poker Tour announced on Wednesday that it has inked a partnership with partypoker LIVE to host as many as seven events in Europe and Canada for the next four years.

It starts with human-centered design thinking. -As the mom of a toddler, I spend most of my waking hours covered in a mixture of applesauce, milk, and general baby-themed liquids. -But it turns out, there are some clever ways to innovate with big data going on here. Coming from the 100-year-old clothing company L.L. Bean. -L.L. Bean has teamed up with a variety of tech companies so that they can track data on how their garments are really used on an ongoing basis. Like how often each item is worn when it’s washed, the temperature outside when worn, and more. Over the years, it will also show if an older garment is being used again, indicating a return to fashion. -Their key partner is Loomia, who makes flexible circuitry so the clothes can be fitted with sensors. Customers then have to agree to release their data to the blockchain, along with some basic information about their demographics like age, gender, and so on. The blockchain will be set up to keep this information anonymous. -Well, it will probably work like a reward card system, whereby agreeing to give your usage data to the brand, you get free shipping or discounts. We’ve seen this work many times. So, as long as the interface is really easy to use, people will happily release their data for free stuff…we like free stuff! -Right now, this data will be mainly used to innovate with big data and drive product improvements. By seeing what’s being worn, how, where and by who, L.L. Bean will be able to leverage this information into the next round of clothing they create. -They will be able to see what types of usage reduce the lifespan or quality of the product. And then, either try to add protection against this use or just create a new line for that type of customer. -So, expect L.L. Bean to have a new line of “sweaters that your dog can sleep on” and “non-wash pizza repellent shirts”. One can only dream. -However, this type of long-term data analysis is just the beginning. Smart clothing has a lot more applications than this. -If your jacket can sense the weather, then there’s no reason that it can’t react to it in some way too. And, unlike some internet of things devices, if you lose connection, it’s not going to stop working as a jacket. This can all act as a bonus feature, rather than something integral to the functioning of the garment. -Because you don’t want people getting soaked in the rain just because they lost WiFi, right? -There are many more ways to innovate with big data beyond this. -If you want to learn more about how you can leverage big data to inspire new products and services, then we’ll be diving deeper into this innovative approach in our next video. -Now, if you’ll excuse me, I just need to find the remote control for my shirt. -How Can Big Data Drive Innovation? -Today, we’re going to see how to innovate with big data, especially when it’s combined with a certain way of thinking. -Because data on its own is just a raw material. It’s like having a ton of flour – it has value, but it’s worth so much more when you turn it into a cake. Yummmmm, cake. -So, what can you bake from big data? The answer lies in the additional ingredient, design thinking. -Design thinking, born from the folks at international design firm IDEO, is a method of meeting people’s needs and desires in a technologically feasible and strategically viable way. -You start by looking at what the customer needs. Rather than SOLELY focusing on profit margins and bottom line. You don’t ignore these important factors, of course, that’s just bad business sense. But in design thinking, you start with the customer needs and build from there. -Big data, vs. survey data, is the information about people’s actual behavior rather than what they believe their behavior is. This opens up the opportunity for real, groundbreaking innovation. Applied in the right way, this can unlock the real human-centered problem. -For L.L. Bean, collecting information like how often a jacket is worn, washed, or the temperature of the climate is the little data breadcrumbs that we leave behind as we live our lives. -The company can then follow the breadcrumbs to understand more about our behaviors. This is more telling than what you fill out in a survey or post on social media. It’s beyond the “edited” response and rooted in real life activities. -But trying to innovate with big data is not just for big brands. -You might not have an army of customers wearing your brand’s sci-fi pants, sending data to a cloud, but there are ways you can collect vital information. -Even if you aren’t an engineer or well-versed in mining big data, you can still practice using big data with design thinking. -The most obvious place to start is using website data from Google Analytics to objectively show the most important behavior patterns of users on a website. Once you understand what people are doing, you can work out why, and use this to find innovative solutions. -If you don’t have your own website, don’t despair, Google has a demo google analytics account available to everyone. -And even though it’s a demo, the data comes from the real Google Merchandise Store, which sells Google-branded merch. It’s real numbers and real customer behaviors! -You can learn to apply your favorite algorithm, find valuable behavior insights, and all about the customer’s needs through big data. -Big data must be treated as the asset, not the byproduct. And anyone can find value in it if they learn how to look. When big data is paired with the human-centered design, that’s where we uncover real innovation. -If you have any thoughts or questions about big data or design thinking then just drop us a comment below. -Thank you for checking out Start Within.

That purchase was just the start for Guo. Last month, the 17-year-old, who used to work part-time at a streetwear store, spent $800,000 on 248 skateboard decks, which had been released by the brand over a 20-year period between 1998 and 2018. Originally collected by Ryan Fuller, these boards include pieces that blur the line between fashion and art, featuring work by artists like Damien Hirst, George Condo, and Jeff Koons. There are also two Louis Vuitton decks—the first, in 2000, lifted the luxury label’s logo without permission, and later, the two labels partnered for the much-hyped fall 2017 collection. -Guo may be young, but he comes from a family of art collectors. “My father is a collector who buys from auction houses and galleries. My older sister graduated with a degree in art history from UBC, and she is my father’s adviser in his acquisition of fine art. She is also a collector of fine art, and the two of them are my mentors,” Guy told Robb Report via e-mail. The family owns pieces by towering artists like Picasso and Monet. The teen collector’s proclivities, however, veer more toward street culture. -As you might expect from the man who bought Supreme chopsticks, Guo is no stranger to the New York–based brand. He says he owns around 200 items from Supreme, “including a few skateboards, some clothes, and many accessories.” But his favorite piece? A Supreme x Everlast punching bag, which is available on the website Kixclusive right now for a cool $15,000. “The piece is very rare, and I think it is absolutely fascinating that Supreme collaborated with Everlast,” Guo said. -As for his most recent acquisition, Guo said the decks will go on view in an upcoming gallery in Vancouver for both hypebeasts and art connoisseurs alike to enjoy. -My first memory of Eero Saarinen‘s work was going to the top of St. Louis’ Gateway Arch in June 1970, when I was 10 years old.

Last week the Police briefed the press about a grenade found on Banak Street in the City and promised an update on the investigations this week. Today however, police informed the media that they had found yet another grenade on Mayflower Street which intersects Vernon Street in Belize City. The discovery was made after authorities received a call at ten yesterday morning. Senior Superintendent Edward Broaster, Deputy Commander of the Eastern Division in Belize City briefed the press this morning. Here is audio provided by our Colleagues at KREM News. -The area it was found was under some bushes near a fence in an overgrown empty lot. The grenade was wrapped in several layers of plastic and police add that their intelligence suggests it was placed in the area about thirty minutes prior to them receiving the call. But there is the suggestion that officers of the police department are the ones planting the grenades. -There is also the growing fear, since the discovery of the grenade that there may be intent on detonating one such weapon in a crowded area during the upcoming September festivities. Authorities say they don’t believe so. -Police also discovered a point 38 revolver that was also seized. -Another pattern inspired by FlyFishFood.com. Very similar to their “Belly Scratcher Minnow”. You can follow the link to purchase the original version from Cheech and the gang. The signature feature of this fly is the tungsten weights tied to the belly that make the fly ride hook point up. This is a very useful technique that allows you to tie in various amounts of weight without using lead eyes. You can expect more sink than the “Neutral Minnow” because of this weight, but it will be both a subtle and level drop, instead of the jigging motion of a front weighted fly. Although this pattern is effective in still water, I prefer it in rivers as a strong pattern for both trout and smallmouth. For now I am offering it in three color combinations, but the options are endless. The almost neutral buoyancy of this fly is what gives it the lifelike movement of a bait fish. They don’t look like much when they are dry, but get them wet and you will see what the fish like about this tasty meal. -I tie this pattern primarily on tubes. I use a fair amount of ostrich plumes and a composite flash hackle for the body and under wing. Then I tie in a magnum rabbit strip and make a dubbing head using FlyFishFood’s Bruiser blend. -All tube flies include an appropriate sized hook. -We have been blessed by God to be a part of an organization of women who for 145 years have used their hands to turn their faith, hope and love into action on behalf of women, children and youth. Today I challenge you to examine what’s in your hands, reflect on United Methodist Women’s next 100 years of mission in Jesus’ name—then make it happen. Use your hands to invite women you know to expand their concepts of Christian mission at Mission u. Use your hands to push a United Methodist Women member to stir up her gifts at Leadership Development Days. Use your hands to support women, children and youth who face injustice. -I believe this applies to United Methodist Women today as well. So what’s in our hands? -I know what’s in our hands: faith for seeking spiritual growth personally and guidance for moving forward in mission. What’s in our hands is hope for making the world more just and peaceful for women, children and youth by training new leaders, expanding educational opportunities and working with United Methodist and other like-minded partners. What’s in our hands is love from God for reaching out to sisters and brothers. -We have an awesome opportunity to hone our skills and educate ourselves for informed action at our annual Mission u events. This year our spiritual growth study theme is “How Is It With Your Soul?” The text by Priscilla Pope-Levison and Jack Levison explores this question that is central to the history and development of The United Methodist Church. For the second and final year we will learn about the Roma of Europe in our geographic study. And this year marks the first of our two-year issue study on the church and people with disabilities. -I’m particularly looking forward to The Church and People With Disabilities. My niece has apraxia, a speech disorder, and she lives not letting the disability stop her from achieving any of her goals. She loves to read, so I’m always picking up Reading Program and other United Methodist Women resources for her to read. Also, one of the most awesome opportunities I’ve ever had was to serve as a Special Olympics cheerleading coach. -United Methodist Women, examine what’s in your hands. Then use your gifts, talents and giving to make United Methodist Women a stronger and more effective agent in God’s mission. -This entry was posted in From the President, Mission u.

Katherine wrote about the latest emerging technology in the solar industry – bifacial solar modules that can convert daylight to electricity from both sides. Current research undertaken by our R&D team suggest that this new technology could increase rates of generation by at least 8%, and other investigations suggest increases could be as much as 15%. -Read what Katherine had to say about the potential impacts of these developments in the full article, available online here. -I am experienced graphic designer, specialized in company identity and logo design.

We’d forgotten to hang it out to dry. -We bounded downstairs to the laundry room with flashlight in hand, and fully expected to spend 10 to 15 minutes doing what we should have done more than six hours ago. -Except, when I ran over to the washing machine, it was empty. Totally empty. And when I turned my head, sure enough, there was our laundry, neatly hung on clothes hangers on a bamboo rack. -As much as I felt relieved that I’d been saved the trouble of doing that laundry this evening, a slight sense of guilt pricked me. -Once again, my mother-in-law had done housework for me. Housework I could have easily done for myself…and should have done, given it was my laundry. -It’s embarrassing to admit that I’m in my thirties and still enjoy laundry assistance from my mother-in-law whenever we stay at her home in the countryside of Zhejiang Province. But it’s true. This sort of thing happens ALL the time. -Yes, it’s true. My mother-in-law has been known to hang up my clothing left in the washing machine…and she’s even done entire loads of laundry for us. -Here’s what usually happens. Either I put the clothing in the washing machine, but stupidly forget to hang it up on time (like I mentioned in the introduction). Or, my mother-in-law grabs my dirty clothing without telling me, and does the entire load for me (this happened ALL THE TIME when I stayed with my in-laws during the summer of 2011). -Sometimes, though, I do ask for her help. The other day, we were in a hurry to leave their house and I had just thrown a load of laundry into the washing machine. So I asked her if she could hang it and she said, “No problem” with a smile. -So now you know one of my biggest dirty secrets. -When we stay with my in-laws at their home, there’s one thing we can count on – three square meals, all home-cooked by my mother-in-law. Always. -This is the complete opposite of how things work at my parents’ home back in the US. There, the assumption is we’re on our own and have to make our own meals (or buy them). Unless, of course, my dad or mom specifically asks us to join them for a meal (or invites us out). -The difference totally blew my husband’s mind. -Anyhow, here at my in-laws’ home in China there’s never any concern about cooking. Everyone knows that when it’s lunch and dinner, my mother-in-law’s voice will echo through the corridors – time to eat! – and we’ll all come bounding down the stairs. -It’s a strange place for me. I spent so many years handling all my cooking (and enjoying much of it). Now, when I’m staying with my in-laws, I just show up to eat at the table. -I have spent some time with my mother-in-law in the kitchen, learning how to cook from her. (She taught me how to make vegan Chinese-style flatbread, for example.) But in many ways, I feel foreign in her kitchen, a feeling that has nothing to do with my nationality, actually. After all, she uses a fire-powered wok to do the majority of her cooking, and I honestly have no idea how to manage the fire. Given how clumsy I am, I might just burn down the kitchen if I tried! -Now that I think about it, maybe it is better to leave the cooking to a woman who won’t cause a conflagration in the kitchen. -When a friend of mine — also a Western woman with a Chinese husband – posted in a private chat about how guilty she felt because her mother-in-law gave her some cash to buy a new laptop (her old one crashed), oh, how I could sympathize. -I thought about the many Chinese New Years that had passed since John and I returned to China in late 2013, and how his parents always gave us heaping hongbao filled with more money than adults in the family should have. -I remembered how my mother-in-law handed over an additional stack of bills last year because my husband was starting his business (and she wanted him to have some “lucky money”). -I even thought of the numerous times when my mother-in-law spent money on us that she totally shouldn’t have spent. Like buying those new coats for John for Chinese New Year (which prompted me to buy new clothes to make her happy). Or the comforter she bought for me to stay warm during the winter. Or even the way she purchased all of the basic necessities for our apartment in 2014. -#4: We’ve lived with my in-laws. A lot. -In America, the ultimate badge of adulthood is having your own place, separate from mom and dad. -Well, the most embarrassing thing I could mention on this list is the fact that we’ve lived in the same house as my in-laws – for long periods of time. -Even now, we divide our time between an apartment in Hangzhou and their home. Heck, they added an entire suite to the house just for my husband and me, which proves how welcoming they are. -It’s worlds away from America. I can guarantee you that if I asked my American friends and classmates, none of them would say that their parents or in-laws renovated their homes so they could live together. It’s just not done there. -As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I have to confess I’m also grateful. This suite they’ve provided us is symbolic of the incredible support they’ve given me and my husband. -Life isn’t always easy for John and me. But knowing that we have a couple of incredibly loving parents behind us – willing to do things that I’m a little embarrassed to talk about – makes the hard times a little more bearable. -If you’re all grown up, is there anything you’re embarrassed that your parents or in-laws still do for you? -LOL, you do laundry like Andy. Except I’m willing to bet that you really do forget to collect it from the washer, whereas I suspect Andy “forgets” so I will finish doing the laundry for him. -Only problem is that he sometimes forgets to tell me he put in laundry while I’m gone and it sits in the washer for days. MILDEWING! -I don’t get red envelopes. 🙁 Jealous. -Wow… it’s great you have so supportive in-laws. -But I don’t think I could handle someone else doing my laundry and cooking. When my Filipino husband and I first got married, my sister-in-law kept taking over the cooking – she wouldn’t let me do it and she wouldn’t teach me how to cook Filipino dishes. This left me feeling totally useless as a wife, because I wanted to fulfill the role of taking care of my husband (an important element of the culture here). -When we moved out and built our own home things radically changed for the better. We now have privacy and can really relax together. -But each to his own of course! You have done really well to adjust to such a profoundly different environment to that in America. -Thanks for sharing Hope! It was an adjustment — and as you say, it’s certainly not for everyone. -True that, typical Chinese parents, last time my girlfriend and I visited my parents , they took care of almost everything(of course, I, as an “typical” Chinese kid, was and still am used to that), and before we left, she tried to give my girlfriend somethinkg like 5000 yuan. -Wow, that sounds a lot like my in-laws! -You’re lucky to have such wonderful in-laws, especially with your mother-in-law cooking three meals a day. -I don’t have any trouble having someone wash my clothes. When I visit my youngest daughter (the cleanest one in the family) she washes my clothes with hers and brings them back to me folded. -That is sweet your in-laws were so welcoming. -Hey Jocelyn, great post as always! Just wanted to let you know I have also nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award – thanks for being the grandmistress of AMWF blogs and thanks for introducing me to all the wonderful WWAMs in this world! -Aw, thanks for the nomination Laura, I’m so touched! Yeah, it is great to be connected to all of these fabulous WWAMs! -I share the four points with you, Jocelyn!(and it is, indeed, somewhat embarrassing). I see now that many Chinese in laws will do whatever it takes to spoil us. My father in law, for example, will sometimes go out early in the mornings to get us something delicious for breakfast, as well as 火龙果 for me (my favourite fruit and utterly tasteless when I buy it imported in my country). He cleans, sweeps the floors, and generally keeps the house neat and spotless. He’s like a cleaning hurricane, leaving no trace of the toys/crayons of our kids. -My mother in law, on the other hand, locks herself in the unbearably hot kitchen (in an already unbearably hot Nanjing) and cooks healthy meals, as well as doing other housework and taking care of my brother in law’s little boy. -Never, not even once, do they complain to anybody nor ask for gratitude. They fully sacrifice themselves in the most discrete way, but the effect of their actions is greater, like a sort of domestic “为无为”. -We’ll be in China for the summer, ready to be spoilt rotten again (I feel guilty for that, already). -Your in-laws sound so much like mine. (My father-in-law loves getting up early to buy tofu at the local market!) My mother-in-law is the epitome of sacrifice. Everything she does is for family and it’s extraordinary. -Have fun during your summer in China! -My wife’s parents had long since passed away when we married, and her second mother lived with her fifth younger brother, so there was never a parent’s home in the countryside. However, that never prevented the rest of the family showing us hospitality similar to that you describe. When we went to fifth younger sister’s home in a compound for retired military, third younger brother’s home in Alhambra, fourth younger brother’s home in Monterey Park, or our “ch’in chia (qin jia)” stepson’s wife’s parent’s home high up on the slopes of Kuan Yin Shan outside of Taipei, everyone went well out of their way to see that we were comfortable and well fed, and that I was never left out of the conversation with the language changed from Mandarin to Minnan. -Our experience in China is a reflection on Western and American ideas of the individual and the community. A lot of the angst of young Americans may start with the separation anxiety forced upon us by our culture, that pushes us apart instead of drawing us in together, and by the pounding refrain of compete, compete, compete, which early on sets us against one another (Chinese usually wait until they get into business). Western philosophy’s preoccupation with the individual over the group, existence before essence, alters our social relations everywhere we turn. Chinese would just laugh at Sartre and tell us the essence and existence go together. -Don’t be embarrassed about all this. Step back far enough to see both cultures in clear perspective. And next time post about all the things you have discovered you can do to return their kindness to your family. -You are blessed to be experiencing “essence” together with “existence.” Enjoy. -James, thank you so much for the thoughtful comment. How lovely that your wife’s family has been so hospitable towards you. -You make a good point — you have to wonder if America has it wrong in pushing kids out so early. -Great care from parents never end in China. But some time that leads to downfall of self-care ability of their children. Never grown up even in college. -Looks like another Western woman joined the club here. -Thanks AG. Yes, there’s a balance to be sure. Thank you also for sharing the news of the couple! -I think it’s interesting that somehow it is part of Chinese hospitality, right? Also, has to do with being family as well. Parents are still there to try to “help” you out. I do agree of the embarrassment when your mother-in-law finishes your laundry. It’s the same embarrassment I felt last year when my dad cleaned my bedroom at home when I lived at school. or when my dad folds all the laundry in the laundry room, including mine. T-T (only does this when he’s tired of how messy the laundry room is. -I can’t accept money, maybe gifts. Every time my friend and I talk on the phone I argue with him and tell him I don’t want him to pay for my round-trip flight from SH to CQ and he’s telling me no worries. I eventually gave up. -I think it’s more of a mutual benefit, you help them out and they help you out, it’s beneficial. -Jocelyn, I have been following your blog for some time now. Remember, I emailed you last year that I had read every single posts on your blog. -I’m not surprised that John’s family has been so helpful and hospitable towards you. You deserve it. -P/S There are meaty posts of substance on your blog; from yourself and other bloggers. Thank you so much for the share. I also enjoyed your post on 5 things you leart from the Chinese countryside etc. Life’s simplest pleasures. -LOL. So true! My parents still do our laundry, do all the dishes and cook for us whenever we visit them. They do the same when they come to visit us. Only exception is the laundry since they are not familiar with the washing machine we use. My mom always say, “you don’t know how I clean dishes! I like it my way.” It’s tiring to argue with her. The money thing also. They always try to give us money. I was like, “Mom, we are the one making money now!” oh well…. guess it’s a good problem to have! -Your inlaws are so sweet! They feel like it’s their duty to their son. I had the same experience when I was married to “Cai” in that my inlaws sacrificed their happiness and well-being to drop everything to help us in the US. They kept telling me it’s their duty. I know it helped us out a ton. But my mom also went way above and beyond and she’s not Chinese. She quit her job when I moved back home so she could help me with Jake. My parents renovated their basement to add a bedroom and full bathroom so my uncle could move down there when Jake and I took over his room and bathroom upstairs. Parents show their love in many ways! -Wow, your mother-in-law actually uses a washing machine? My parents-in-law own a washing machine, but rarely use it. When we stay with them, my mother-in-law insists on doing my laundry as well, but by hand! She says she doesn’t need a washing machine because “我就是洗衣机” (she is the washing machine). I have tried to stop her, but it’s no use. Once when she was washing my clothes, she found a pair of my underwear had a hole in it, so she bought me new ones, talk about embarrassing! -Awww I don’t know if this is embarrassing! I think parents will always be parents no matter what (when I go home to visit and attempt to do my own laundry, my mom will scoop up my clothes from the dryer and fold them on my bed before I can even get to it!). -In America living with your parents until your early 30s isn’t as taboo as it used to be (it’s hard to stake out a living these days), so I think times are changing. -I think my boyfriend and I will experience all of the above things with his Chinese in-laws sooner or later. They already cook and clean our house for us every time they come down to visit. I wish I could say I was embarrassed, but I’m actually really happy to be spoiled once in a while! -Bristol's decision to trial vinegar as a weedkiller in place of glyphosate grabbed headline-writers' imaginations. But with a wide choice of proven chemical-free weed control strategies available, might this experiment be "set up to fail"? -EXCERPT: This is not what pesticide-free policies should look like. If anything smells fishy, it is the design of this trial. Has it - as Pesticide Action Network UK says - been "set up to fail"? Many other effective alternatives exist, as PAN-UK point out, and are already in use in other European and UK cities. -* Bristol's decision to trial vinegar as a weedkiller in place of glyphosate certainly grabbed headline-writers' imaginations, writes Harriet Williams. But with a wide choice of proven chemical-free weed control strategies available, might this experiment be "set up to fail"? -It's billed as an "eco-friendly alternative" to herbicides, but sadly it's not one that is tremendously effective for weed control in large public spaces. -So, has "vinegar-gate" left us any the wiser about what local authorities should be using for weed control? -Our experience in speaking to people in Bristol is that many people are simply not aware that glyphosate is being sprayed in roads, housing estates, parks, and play areas. When they do become aware, the vast majority of people support an outright ban on this practice, or much tighter restrictions on its use. In the latest results of our rolling online survey, only 8.6% of respondents agree that herbicide sprays are a 'wholly acceptable' means of weed control. -Another respondent said, "I saw a family out last autumn innocently gathering fallen leaves, and felt obliged to advise them to keep clear of the sprayed areas. No signs anywhere that this was going to be done." -* It applies only to a small area of the city, and leaves the door wide open to the return of glyphosate should the trial be deemed a failure. -* At the same time it invites failure by choosing vinegar ahead of more credible technologies for safer weed control. -* Worse still, large tracts of land will not receive any weed control at all as the Council's regular spray contractors down tools for the duration of the trial. -Thanks to "vinegar-gate", more people know that local authorities have a problem when it comes to dealing with plants in the wrong places. In Bristol and other urban areas, it can only be a matter of time before local politicians listen to public opinion and stop dousing our streets in unsafe chemicals. -Outsourcing often gets a bad rap, particularly from unions and job hunters, but according to Jacqui Miller, founder of Dynamic Business Outsource Solutions, one of the world’s leading outsource companies with centres based in the Philippines, outsourcing is actually a positive thing to do that helps to accelerate business growth and financial wellbeing. -“I think it’s really important to set the record straight and let people know that outsourcing, or rightsourcing as we call it, is an extremely sensible approach to business growth and operations,” Jacqui said today. -Jacqui Miller knows what she is talking about. Having been involved in founding many start-ups in various industries including hospitality, marketing and travel, Jacqui understands the challenges businesses face when starting up and scaling to enable growth. -“Rightsourcing is about selecting the right or best source of services that suits the business whether it be in-house or using outside third party services that virtually become an extension of your business,” Jacqui added. -“Outsourcing has been around for some time in the business sphere, but has only been available to the big end of town. Now small to medium size business owners can also utilise these services giving their businesses a fighting chance to compete and grow. -“The key to building and growing a small to medium size business or startup is working with the right people and making the most of the limited resources you have. Over the span of my career I’ve seen the positive impact rightsourcing can have on the success of a business, whether it be a large company or small enterprise. -The Diversity ‘The State of Offshoring 2017’ research report identified that while cost pressures are the main factor driving businesses to offshore and offshoring plays a critical role in making businesses more competitive, it also has a positive impact on the economy as it allows businesses to compete globally and grow faster. -The report also states that in many cases, businesses leverage offshore teams to supplement their local employees by removing time-consuming and low-value tasks. Research conducted by leading organisations has identified that employees spend 80% of their time on low-value tasks, whereas they’re only able to spend 20% on the tasks that grow businesses – dealing with client queries, providing a high level of service or working on strategic objectives aligned with organisational goals. -“Businesses that rightsource are more confident financially because tasks that are not required to be done inhouse are undertaken elsewhere for much less cost – meaning the business has more money to invest in other places,” Jacqui added. -“Thanks to technology, rightsourcing is incredibly easy. People can work from anywhere as long as they have access to the internet and most businesses operate with cloud based systems whether they be for communication, accounting, sales, or marketing. -“Many business owners attempt to run all aspects of the business themselves, but this can be difficult if the business is new, the team is small, or the expertise isn’t there. To grow and be successful, you’ve got to share the load, especially with someone who can do it better and faster, and this often means working with experts in the field needed. -“Rightsourcing enables small businesses to compete and grow by reducing wage costs and increasing productivity. It gives businesses, especially start-ups, the two most important aspects needed for success: more time and money. -The Live chat app is much more involved than your normal client.

Stories taken directly from Greek mythology that explain the creation of spring flowers like hyacinths and narcissus, and from Norse mythology and the legend of Valhalla are examples that are used as points of departure for personal investigations of the exhibition’s themes. By freely combining parts from these various stories, sampling and altering visual references from historic sources, and layering in elements that reference my own personal interpretations and affinities with the stories’ various characters, I seek to introduce new perspectives and offer viewers new points of access from which to enter these timeless tales. -These works, which amount to a series of fractured narratives, made alone and under the name bourbon, in collaboration with Loretta Bourque, are extremely personal and distinctly colored (stained)by recent events in my life. These challenges have made me question my very foundation, and at times have prevented me from moving the work forward, but ultimately they have lead me back to the exhibition’s central themes with a renewed focus. I acknowledge that in making this work I am borrowing freely from the mythologies of cultures outside my own. I respect the fact that the juxtaposition of imagery and iconography from various religious sources may create tension within the work and even with some viewers, but this is not a primary goal, rather a byproduct of my working process, which is by nature collaborative and uncensored. I am indebted to the many artists who have explored the show’s themes before me, and from whom I have borrowed and quoted liberally. I offer these works in homage to them, and as tribute to those who in leaving this world have given me great cause to complete them. It is also with much gratitude I dedicate this exhibition to my family and friends who have given me the space and time I have needed to begin to see again the first green of spring in every challenge; and a sense of renewed optimism that comes to me like when I see the first crocus of spring or get a whiff of the almost-too -much smell of hyacinths at their peak. If I have accomplished nothing else in this work, I hope that in sharing the beauty of a single flower, that I might spark a light of hope in someone else who might be struggling to see that the part of them which they think they may have lost is still there. Like a spring flower, it has only been laying dormant, waiting for the perfect moment to re-emerge and bloom again for all to see. -I am a writer of letters. For me, written correspondence permits a naturalness of expression – of intimacy, connectedness, and affection – that is different from communication through technological means. The letter writing tradition also plays a vital role across my creative practice, and my current work is based upon on it. -For these works, I began by writing love letters between a fictional woman invoked from another plane, and me. The letters share both the mundane and the precious — as love letters, they build an intimate vocabulary. Marked by the dates, the repetition of such an interchange captures not just the passage of time, but an evolution of two hearts merging. Once transcribed, the letters are torn apart and woven into the painting; small sighs amid the intensity of texture and the energetic gestures of blue paint. -They are blue for a reason. What that reason is, I still don’t know. -Although my painting has included the same themes for many years, I did not begin to include love letters until 2018. -You guys, I am so behind! -I’ve had Amazon Prime for years, but I used it primarily (pun, sorry) for the free shipping, video streaming, Kindle Lending, and Prime Day sales. -But I was totally missing out! -Did you know about Prime Reading? You probably do. As I said, I’m behind. I recently went camping and wanted to load up my Kindle with things to read by the fire. While I was browsing, I came across this new-to-me-but maybe-not-to-the-rest-of-the-world feature and about danced a jig. -Tons of free things to read! I loaded up and took my devices to the mountains. There’s nothing like relaxing by a fire in total darkness with a nice book to read. -The fire where actual Prime Reading took place. -Okay, now back to Prime Reading itself. If you’re already a member of the Amazon Prime program, it’s included at no additional charge (unlike the Kindle Unlimited program). You don’t even have to own a Kindle. All you need is a device of your choosing and the free reading apps. -Boom! You get access to tons of books and magazines. And they are actually items you’d want to read! Seriously, go look. You’ll find something to enjoy or mock (whatever suits you). -Choose your books or magazines from the Prime Reading selection. -When you’re done, return the item. -You can check out 10 items at a time! TEN! -Even if you hate the book, you’re not losing any money. It’s risk-free reading from your couch. No trip to the library needed. -I didn’t know about Prime Reading, but it makes me much more willing to pay the new, higher price. And it makes me wonder what else I’m missing out on. -So are you already using Prime Reading? If so, what should I check out next? Or are you just as behind as me? -I’m so behind also! I think I used it once last year but was confused and thought it was Kindle Unlimited. I saw the 10 books thing but didn’t understand when I couldn’t check out another book (which was the K-unlimited) I still probably haven’t returned that first book! Ha! -That’s exactly what I thought! I didn’t know Prime Reading was a different thing. I morphed it with Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owner’s Lending Library. There are so many ways to get lots of books for a good price! -New York, NY - January 15, 2014 - Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced that he has received a commitment that John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) will be assigned additional customs agents as the result of increased appropriations for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as part of the Fiscal Year 2014 Appropriations bill. This bill has boosted CBP’s funding by $165.7 million in order for the agency to hire 2,000 new agents nationwide. Specifically, the bill increases CBP’s overall budget to $10.6 billion, which is over $220 million more than FY2013. Schumer explained that $165.7 million of the new funding was explicitly prescribed “for the purpose of hiring, training, and equipping new U.S. customs and border protection offices.” During a confirmation hearing today, Schumer secured a commitment from Gil Kerlikowske, who is currently undergoing the confirmation process to be Commissioner of CBP, that he would commit to bringing an adequate portion of these new agents and resources to JFK once he has been confirmed. -In September 2013, Schumer made an appeal to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement new measures that would help alleviate incredibly long lines for travelers using customs at JFK and he continued his push at a confirmation hearing today for Kerlikowske. Schumer’s appeal comes after a report revealed that customs lines at JFK Airport were among the longest wait times in the country. According to the report, the average delay during peak hours could be two hours or more. -On July 1, 2013, at 6 am, the wait was 140 minutes. -On August 3, 2013, at 4 pm, the wait was 120 minutes. -On August 24, 2013, at 4 pm, the wait was 3 hours. -Schumer has long advocated measures to decrease these wait times, including a personal call in September to then-Acting DHS Secretary Rand Beers, during which Schumer asked Beers to approve and install new automated Passport kiosks, as well as assign additional Custom and Border Patrol agents at JFK. Schumer also urged his colleagues to boost funding for the Customs and Border Protection in the Fiscal Year 2014 Appropriations bill, above the current 2013 levels and called current DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson to press his case. -Today, Schumer announced that the recently released appropriations agreement called for $165.7 million to hire 2,000 new agents nationwide, and that he has received a commitment from Gil Kerlikowske that, when confirmed as Commissioner of CBP, he will assign an adequate portion of these new agents to JFK. These additional agents will enable the airport to decrease wait times and continue to be a major economic driver. -Now how do you suppose a chewing gum company would try to sell more chewing gum? -If you think it’s by touting the scientific evidence that chewing gum helps prevent gum disease, you would be wrong. -If you think it’s testimonials from dentists singing gum’s praises, you would be wrong. -If you think it’s gorgeous girls talking about sweetening one’s breath before a kiss, you would be wrong. -Wrigley knows nothing sells gum like emotion. -So, how are you selling your product — your station? -Amid a contentious government shutdown, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has written President Trump a letter, suggesting that in lieu of delivering a State of the Union speech, as the president intends, he submit his address in writing. -Although Americans today are accustomed to seeing the president deliver the SOTU, Pelosi notes in her letter that “during the 19th century and up until the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, these annual State of the Union messages were delivered to Congress in writing.” Pelosi also notes that a SOTU has never been delivered amidst a government shutdown. -Although the State of the Union started as an oral address–both George Washington and John Adams delivered speeches to Congress–Thomas Jefferson was the first to balk at the tradition. -Jefferson had several reasons why he believed a written address was superior to a speech. First of all, the third president nursed a fear of public speaking. He also believed that a letter was more efficient than a speech–that it would take less time to read than to listen, and that a written document would give legislators time to think about their response. Historians have also noted that giving a speech had a king-like aura, something that a republican like Jefferson would abhor. -Then again, Jefferson could have simply found trudging to Congress to give a speech inconvenient. -In any case, the tradition that Jefferson set remained for over one hundred years, until Woodrow Wilson decide to return to the ways of Washington and Adams, and give a speech before Congress instead of simply sending a letter. -Since then, a spoken SOTU has indeed become a national habit, even more so than in Wilson’s day thanks to mass communication tools like radio, television, and internet. -That’s not to say that the written version of the SOTU has been abandoned entirely–as lame duck presidents, Truman, Eisenhower, and Carter chose to submit a written message instead of giving a speech before Congress. -Whether or not Trump will heed Pelosi’s advice has yet to be seen, and certainly a president might balk at giving up the bully pulpit power of television. In any case, we’ll leave you with a cartoon of Theodore Roosevelt, who was thoroughly dismayed that Wilson had the idea of a SOTU speech, something that Roosevelt himself would have enthusiastically embraced. -Use the Remove-EdgeSubscription cmdlet to remove Edge Subscription from the Exchange organization and from the subscribed Edge Transport server. -Synchronization of information from Active Directory to the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance stops. -All the accounts stored in AD LDS are removed. -The Edge Transport server is removed from the list of source servers for any Send connector. -If the Edge Transport server is the only source server for any Send connector, the Send connector is removed. -This example removes Edge Subscription for the Edge Transport server named Edge1. -If you don't specify the Force switch, the command will inform you that the removal of the replicated recipient data from AD LDS can take a long time and will give you the option to cancel the operation. -The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the Edge Transport server for which you want to remove Edge Subscription.

URITIS graduated from Newark College of Engineering in 1937 with a BSME. Before joining RCA in 1946, he was a design engineer for Bernard Aviation Equipment Corp., New York City. In 1941, he engaged in the design and test of main propulsion and auxiliary shipboard equipment at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. At RCA, Mr. Uritis has designed disk recorders for broadcast studios and other commercial applications. As a member of the Advanced Development Group, he was responsible for conception of the tape files used in RCA Electronic Data Processing equipment. In video recording, he was active in the design and development of the time division multiplex video recorder, and later, the quadruplex color video recorder. He was responsible for the design of the Broadband Recorder (AN/TLH-I) built for the Signal Corps. When the BMEWS program started, he designed magnetic drums and discs for that project, and later was responsible for design of the TRADEX tape transport. During design of the precision tape recorders for Bell Labs, he was responsible for the mechanical design. -Mr. Uritis holds 8 patents in the recorder field. -BENJAMIN A. COLA graduated from Drexel Institute in June 1950 with a BSEE. At this time he joined RCA and worked on the design of power supplies, video circuits, TV airborne cameras, naval radar tracking equipment and servo mechanisms in the Special Devices Department. A period of one year was spent on systems analysis of shoran bombing and reconnaissance equipment. He received an MSEE degree in June 1955 at the University of Pennsylvania. In August 1955 he was transferred to the newly formed Missile and Surface Radar Section, where he worked on analog data processing assignments for TALOS, ATLAS, BMEWS, DAMP, and TRADEX. His most recent assignment was design project engineer on the development of a precision high speed tape recorder. -This multiple-channel, wideband precision tape recorder was developed as a basic element in a tracking radar system to be used in multiple target environments. All signals received by the radar tracking the target in real time are tape recorded. Thus, all targets viewed by the radar during a "live" exercise can be repeatedly acquired, tracked, and analyzed through playback at a later date. To permit recovery of maximum information, data is recorded in the form of unprocessed radar IF signals; then on playback, the optimum signal-processing system recovers each target parameter of interest. -Radar target parameters such as range, doppler, and angle position must be measured precisely; at the same time, target resolution and relative amplitude must be preserved. Such performance requirements impose challenging demands on a radar tape recorder - particularly signal-to-noise performance, gain and phase tracking between channels, gain linearity, transport velocity stability, and interchannel jitter. -Fig. 1 shows the complete radar tape recorder designed to meet these standards of performance. The radar tape recorder provides 15 channels with a bandwidth capability in excess of 6 Mc; the recorder operates at a tape speed of 1,180 ips and a velocity stability of better than 1 part in 105. The recording time is 6 minutes. The radar system utilizes these capabilities to record 8 channels of 3.5 Mc video radar signals along with 7 wideband channels of timing, digital, and other reference signals for processing by the radar in serial form. -The radar tape recorder (Fig. 2) stores ungated if information from the uhf and L-band receivers so that during subsequent playbacks, targets can be acquired and tracked in angle, range, and doppler. -The receiver-exciter sends repetition rate pulses to the UHF and L-band transmitters where the power is stepped up and sent to the antenna for transmission. The receiver-exciter receives the returns from targets and sends them to the tape recorder and tracking receiver. -The tracking receiver (in conjunction with the range tracker) tracks targets in angle, range, and doppler during real time or from tape playback. The tracking receiver also provides agc, scintillation, doppler, and range information to describe the target to the data recorder. The tracking receiver also provides azimuth and elevation errors to the angle servos that drive the pedestal, keeping the antenna on target during live track. -By recording the radar returns on tapes, it is possible to separate and analyze the targets of a missile shot as many times as desired and, thereby, effect an economy of radar systems and missile firings. -Based on the principal radar requirements of Table I, specifications for the radar tape recorder were determined. Requirements for frequency and polarization diversity and for monopulse angle tracking resulted in a need for eight signal channels. Range and doppler accuracies were improved through the use of a recorded if reference signal and a range clock signal. Additional channels were used for a transport servo-speed reference, pedestal angular position data, and time-of-day codes - resulting in a 15-channel machine (see chart of Table II). -The principal specifications for the radar tape recorder are Table III. Reasons for some of these specifications are described herein. The signal-to-noise (S/N) specification is dictated by the desired system dynamic range. Velocity stability is necessary to assure doppler tracking accuracy as well as to minimize the occurrence of spurious signal spectral lines due to transport velocity modulation. Gain and phase track specifications assure accuracy in the measurement of target angle offset. -Gain and phase linearity maintains good target resolution by avoiding pulse distortion or distortion echoes. Low interchannel jitter is important in measuring accurately the signal polarization vector, range, and angle. Bandwidth is determined by the radar pulse characteristic; at the signal input to the recorder, the pulse is in the form of a cosine squared. -1) Gain linearity and gain tracking are very difficult to achieve in an am system because of the effect of the nonlinear magnetization characteristic of the tape and because of variations in tape sensitivity. -2) An fm system minimizes the effects of tape drop outs, variations in sensitivity of the magnetics and am variations introduced by changes in the effective head-air-gap with tape pressures. Good gain linearity can be achieved by frequency modulators and demodulators. -The choice of FM recording results in the disadvantage of greater circuit complexity because of the above requirements for frequency modulators and demodulators and also the need for more bandwidth than that in an am system. In fm, the bandwidth required to pass the sideband frequencies depends on the desired S/N performance, and on a minimum fm carrier frequency that prevents fold-over of the side frequencies. The final choice resulted in a 4.5-Mc fm carrier frequency with significant sideband frequencies extending from 0.2 Mc to 8Mc. -The 8-Mc bandwidth required that the relative speed between tape and head exceed a minimum value determined by the magnetic head gap-length. Since head gap-length could not conveniently be made less than 40 microinches (0.000040 inch), a tape speed of 1,180 ips was used; at this speed, 6 miles of tape are required to provide 5 minutes of recording time. Because of the requirement for multiple channels, longitudinal recording was chosen. -The basic design criteria for the tape recorder were established, based on a consideration of signal-to-noise, gain tracking, gain linearity, bandwidth and multiple channel capability. -Satisfying the requirements for velocity stability and interchannel jitter depended to a large extent on the mechanical perfection of the tape transport and the performance of the servo speed control. The main elements of the transport are shown in Fig. 3. The recorder components are assembled to a jig plate which is accurately aligned and attached to a rigid frame to assure a precise tape path. The complete assembly is shock-mounted within its cabinet. -The 5-minute recording requirement resulted in 30-inch-diameter reels weighing 50 pounds and containing 6 miles of 1.1-mil magnetic tape plus 2,500 feet of clear leader at each end. The tape is accelerated to full recording speed in 60 seconds and is stopped in the same time. The reels are equipped with quick-disconnect knobs to facilitate fast reloading and permit uninterrupted recording with two transports. Tape guides and tensioners are air lubricated so that frictional contact to the tape occurs only at the capstan edge-guide and at the magnetic heads. -Remote control of recording, subsequent repeated playbacks, and rewinds dictated that the tape remain threaded and taut during and following each run. To accomplish this, programmed acceleration and deceleration cycles were employed at the start and end of the tape runs. A length of clear polyester leader is attached to each end of the tape; transitions from clear leader to tape are sensed photoelectrically to initiate the program. -The capstan-head assembly of Fig. 4 is designed for quick replacement by utilizing an air manifold which automatically seals upon installation of the capstan. Two blocks of magnetic heads, one an 8-track and the other a 7-track are supplied by the RCA Broadcast and Communication Products Division. Heads are prealigned on arms for fast replacement once initial adjustment of the head arm support has been made. -To achieve constant tape speed, the capstan assembly employs an air-turbine drive and hydrostatic air bearings. Capstan speed is sensed by a tone wheel and controlled by a hysteresis brake; both are integral parts of the capstan shaft. To minimize longitudinal vibrations, the tape is stabilized by making simultaneous contact with both the capstan and the heads. Since the tape is not perfectly smooth nor of uniform thickness, it is necessary to relieve the capstan surface behind the area where the heads contact the tape. -The velocity stability specification of 1 part in 105 imposes a severe runout requirement on the capstan assembly; the angular velocity generates flutter components of 87cps and higher multiples which are above the bandwidth of the capstan-servo correction capability. -Therefore, the dynamic runout of the capstan must be held to less than 20 microinches; it is done by using the ultimate in precision grinding, hand lapping, and dynamic balancing. An additional benefit in reducing the effects of capstan runout is derived from depressing the heads into the tape a*bove the capstan grooves; thus, the heads may be firmly positioned at a fixed radius from the rotational axis of the capstan. Head contact pressure is controlled by a very precise adjusting screw which advances the head only 5 mils per revolution. Pressure applied is measured as an increment of the capstan hysteresis brake current. -Mechanical resonances throughout the tape path produce variations in tape tension, resulting in minute (but not inconsequential) variations in tape velocity at the capstan. Such variations can be caused by improper tape guide design, or by insufficient damping where resonant systems exist in the tape path, as at the tape tensioners. Since these effects are not necessarily uniform, or in-phase across the width of the tape, they produce the undesirable effect defined in the specifications as "phase jitter." The allowable phase jitter between signals (recorded half the width of the tape apart) is ±20 nsec; this corresponds to roughly a differential displacement of 24 microinches. -4) precise alignment of all tape guides. -Compressed air, supplied by a remote unit at 100-psi nominal pressure, operates the transport. Air is oil free and dried to -40°F dew point. Outlet air-supply filters and filters at the air inlets to the cabinet and to the capstan air-bearing line protect the air-pressure regulating valves and the close-fitting capstan bearings. In the event of a compressor failure, a reserve air supply brings the transport to a safe halt. -Pressure-sensitive switches are set a few pounds below the lower limit of the normal pressure variation range of the air supply. When the air-supply pressure falls below a predetermined value, turbine air is cut off and the transport goes into its programmed stopping cycle. Mechanical brakes on the reel spindles stop the reels quickly to minimize tape spillage in the event of a power failure or loss of tape tension. -Each tape reel is belt driven by a two-phase 400-cps induction motor and controlled by an independent servo system. The control signal for the reel servo loop is obtained from the tape sensor device nearest the particular reel involved (see Fig. 3). The stator of the induction potentiometer is excited by an AC reference supply and produces an error signal proportional to the velocity error of the tape at the reel. The Ac-induced voltage in the rotor, which is the error signal, is amplified and applied to a carrier-referenced demodulator; then, the dc output of this circuit is used to drive the operational amplifier shown in Fig. 5. -An additional feedback loop is provided by an AC tachometer on the servo motor shaft. The 400-cps signal is demodulated to dc to make it compatible with the tape error signal; it is easier to realize the proper stability networks in the dc domain, and AC quadrature problems are completely eliminated - providing a more stable design with less effort. -The tachometer feedback signal is combined with the tape speed-error signal in a summing operational amplifier to compensate for the non-linearity of the magnetic amplifiers which are as the servo power amplifiers. The summing operational amplifier output is the servo control signal used to drive the magnetic amplifier; the magnetic amplifier controls the 400-cps power supplied to the reel servo motor. -The capstan servo drives the tape with highly precise speed control by two servo loops: one a frequency lock, and the other a phase comparison control to obtain high sensitivity (Fig. 6). Pulses derived from the capstan tone wheel and proportional to tape speed are passed through a 400-usec delay line; capstan speed is varied by the servo until the pulse frequency corresponds with the delay of the line. The 400-usec delay line is equivalent to a tone-wheel frequency of 2,500 pps (this servoing of the capstan speed to near synchronous value is called a frequency lock). When a frequency lock occurs, the phase of the reference 2,500 pps begins to zero beat with the tone wheel; thus, a phase error is produced which adjusts the capstan speed to a full phase lock. -The phase detector producing the speed-control signal is extremely sensitive; the slightest change of capstan tone-wheel frequency results in a considerable phase error. Once the capstan servo is locked in, complete control of the speed is maintained by the phase loop. The basic speed control of the capstan driving the tape is obtained by applying air pressure to the capstan turbine. The turbine air pressure would drive the capstan at a speed much higher than needed; however, the servo controlled hysteresis brake reduces it to the desired value. -The capstan speed is locked to a crystal oscillator by servoing the tone wheel during the record mode. During the playback mode, the control track, a recorded 2,500-pps reference frequency standard, is servoed to the same crystal oscillator. The slight difference between the capstan speed and the tape speed is removed by this playback servo technique. Electronically variable delay lines are used in those channels requiring additional velocity refinement corrections to the radar data (Fig. 7). -The technique of comparing the playback of a recorded 2,500-pps crystal clock with the same crystal clock and using the resultant error voltage to drive the capstan cancels out all low-frequency speed variations of the tape. However, this method does not remove high-frequency components of speed variation resulting from such sources as capstan asymmetry and high-frequency tape flutter. The capstan turns at 87 cps and introduces Fourier series tape-speed components 174 and 261 cps in both record and playback modes; such components cannot be servoed out because of the limited response of the capstan. To remove the effects of the capstan asymmetry and other speed deviations, electronically variable delay lines are inserted into all channels that need precision speed stabilization; a control voltage advances and delays each channel of data in order to make the tape information appear to be coming from a perfectly constant speed tape. -The control of these electronically variable delay lines is accomplished with the closed-reference automatic-time-correction (atc) loop of Fig. 7. When the capstan servo has locked in, the reference playback signal averages 2,500-pps - but there will be expansions and contractions of the pulse periods for the reasons previously described. This reference playback signal is inserted into an electronically variable delay line that removes the high-frequency speed variations. The tape-playback 2,500-pps reference is compared to the clock-reference 2,500 pps in a phase detector; the resultant error signal changes on a pulse-to-pulse basis. This error is amplified and the atc loop stabilized by passing the signal through an operational amplifier with the proper transfer function. -The resultant amplified error output is used to drive the reference delay line, completing a closed loop. It is apparent that the error signal created will advance or delay the playback pulses to slave them to the clock-reference 2,500 pps by removing the high-frequency components of flutter. At this point, the 2,500-pps reference passing through the delay has had the stabilization of the capstan servo control and the atc servo electronic correction. The signal that drives the reference delay line also drives the six signal delay-lines because the speed correction required is approximately the same for all channels. -The interchannel jitter must be small in order to make this type of delay line correction effective; moreover, this condition is assured by meticulous design of the tape transport. There must be very little phase jitter between channels, since the correction signal of the atc servo loop is not only applied to the reference line, but also (as an open-loop correction) to all of the signal delay lines. -To measure intertrack jitter during the mechanical development of the tape transport, the precise measuring technique of Fig. 8 was used. It consists of recording a 1.5-Mc sine-wave signal upon the two tracks in question, playing these channels back, and then mixing them down to 200 kc. The exchange of phase angle between the two signals remains the same at 200 kc as it was at 1.5 Mc, and it can be handled by a commercially available phase meter. The output of the phase meter was observed on a scope, spectrum analyzer, and pen recorder. A typical pen recording of the intertrack phase jitter is shown in Fig. 9. -The most interesting aspects of the signal electronics for the radar tape recorder relate to the problems of linearity and bandwidth in the precision fm channels. Fig. 10 shows the elements of a typical "fm" channel. In the record mode, the signal in the form of radar video pulses is converted to an "fm" signal in a modulator. It is then amplified in a record amplifier which drives the record-playback head as a constant-current generator. On playback, the signal is amplified in a preamplifier and then in a playback amplifier which includes aperture equalization to compensate for the magnetic-head frequency response characteristic. The signal is then reconverted to a radar video signal in the frequency demodulator. -The bandwidth required in an fm system is dictated by the rise-time requirement; the system S/N ratio is a function of this bandwidth. -From this expression, it can be shown that a peak frequency deviation of 1.5 Mc achieves S/N performance greater than 40db assuming that the ratio of peak carrier to rms tape noise per megacycle is 48db. -The radar tape recorder was designed to record radar pulses with a video bandwidth of 3.5 Mc; for the frequency modulation of these signals, a 4.5-Mc carrier was used to minimize the effect of "fold over" (side frequency terms) in the fm signal. -The primary problem of equalization is related to the need for compensating the amplitude-versus-frequency response of the magnetic playback process. The flat amplitude and linear phase responses required to meet the performance specifications for the radar tape recorder were achieved. The following equation, however, shows that the amplitude response of the playback process is not flat and further that the phase response is linear. Therefore, the equalization must compensate for the amplitude response of the playback process without introducing a nonlinear phase characteristic. -Analysis of the magnetics problem results in the following equation for the output voltage from a playback head, assuming a sinusoidal recorded flux on the tape. -Two tape recorders have been in continuous operation on the pacific missile range for almost a year and have recorded and preserved much valuable data for further analysis and evaluation. The advanced techniques employed have proven invaluable in the study of missile re-entry. -Credit for work on the original Tradex tape recording system, which was a forerunner of the high-speed precision tape system described in this paper, is due to H. R. Warren and his associates in the DEP Communications Systems Division. -Also, credit for magnetic head design is extended to the Magnetic Head Development and Design Group of the Broadcast and Communications Products Division, under the direction of B. F. Melchionni. This project was completed successfully because of the tireless efforts of many people with varied skills. It would be unjust not to mention two of the technical giants, Thomas Bolger and Jackson, who did so much to bring this project to fruition. -Tape speed, 1,180 ips, max. -Gap scatter, 40 u inch max. -Mounting: precision magnetic record-playback heads on precision machined rocker arms which are completely replaceable with only one adjustment, head pressure (by two self-locking coarse and fine adjust screws). -signal Crosstalk, 50 db max. -Signal to noise, 30 db min. -All distortion, - 30 db min. -Crosstalk, - 50 db max. -duty cycle Rise time: 0.1 usee. max. -Fig. 1 - The high-precision instrumentation tape recorder. -Fig. 2 - Acquisition of data by tracking radar plus recording and storage of such data by precision tape recorder. -Fig. 3 - Tape transport.

I guess that depends on if anyone is listening. -I recently read an article on Thrive Global, If You Do This, You Will Have Better Relationships, by Mareo McCracken and it got me thinking. Does the continual striving to be heard make sense if nobody is listening? -Listening is a skill. An art. It requires practice and focus to do it well. The payoff for honing our listening skills is huge both personally and professionally so why aren’t we better at it? I think the answer is simple but difficult to overcome. Most of us are much more concerned about being heard. Our communication has become automated and one-sided as we become reliant on our cell phones, text, email, twitter, Instagram, facebook, etc. to tell, sell, inform and connect. Everyone is talking which begs the question, who is listening? -Professional and personal relationships require good listening. A resume doesn’t tell you who a candidate is only what they’ve done and an email can’t convey what the hiring manager is like to work with or the culture of a business. So, I recommend you take that old school, face-to-face meeting whenever you can.

This approach is based on several core strategies. -Our controllers use powerful microprocessors to collect and analyze critical compressor monitoring points up to 100 times every second. Through this industry-leading combination of power and data, we can recognize and react to even the smallest changes in air system conditions faster than any other systems out there. -As a result, Bay controllers consistently maintain pressure within a narrow 1-2 psi band and enable pressure set points to be lowered while still reliably maintaining the minimum required system pressure. Lowered pressure points bring about immediate and substantial savings. -According to the Department of Energy, the average compressed air system loses between 10-30% of its air due to leaks. Our focus is at Bay Controls to reduce potential leaks and translate that into lowered costs. -Since our controllers enable lower pressure set points with precise pressure control bands, they also drastically reduce the amount of lost and leaked air. -Many control systems don’t have the ability to automatically start and stop as plant air demand changes. The result? Air compressors often run continuously and unloaded for long periods of times. -Bay controllers allow you to schedule your air when you need it, matching your air supply to your demand based on your plant’s production. You can reduce unnecessary run time and save energy overall. -As an energy solutions company, Bay Controls is often included in the custom incentive programs that investor-owned utilities (IOUs) offer their customers. IOUs are focused on reducing energy consumption, and our systems and solutions are the perfect way to achieve these goals. -If you’re considering doing any energy projects at your facility and are eligible for a custom incentive program from your IOU provider, we can offset the project costs and have a faster ROI on any investment(s) you make. -Would you like to learn how you can save up to 10-13% on your total energy spend? -Schedule a 5-minute discovery call with the Bay Controls team! -I took this photo weeks ago. I was in my third round of color edits. Finally, I initialed each sheet for the printers with a big OK and off they went. -​That is part of the process I did not understand at all. My computer puts out color in RGB. A printer prints in CMYK. I can import the color palette from the printer I can calibrate my screen but guess what. It is all still a guess. You have no idea what things will look like until they are actually on paper. -​Talk about a ridiculously inaccurate process that just adds to the mysteries of book publishing. How do professional photographers deal with this. My printer kept reminding me that this is technical manual and that it didn't need to be perfect. -​I guess they have never met me. Now don't get me wrong. This book is not perfect. Yet, on Oct 24th I pushed the button and the files were out of my hands. -​Hands that are still empty at the moment but can't wait to get them on the real thing and see what the photos really look like, the weight of the book in my hands. Today it is all still an idea, but soon it will be reality. -Week 2 weigh in this morning and I have lost 10lbs!! -Great job! This is amazing! Keep up the amazing work! -Way to go on your 10 Lbs loss!! Yahooo!!! Keep on, keeping on!! -So had a very rough week with staying on track, not only did the long weekend trip me up, I was craving everything under the moon this week and struggled everyday. My weight fluctuated a lot this week and was back up to 278 but this mornings "official" weigh in is at 272 which I can live with because my cravings were caused by TOM which finally came on Friday, so hoping that by staying on target next weeks weigh in will be at least 265. Now that it is the weekend I have to be especially strong because at least during the week I have routine because of work that help keeps me on track. The carnival is also in town and we took the kiddo last night and she had a blast, I had worked yesterday to make sure I had enough cals left and had a great workout so I didn't feel guilty having a corn dog, which I order the small one and that was more than enough to satisfy the craving. On the way out of the carnival the family wanted deep fried oreo's which are just as horrific for you as they sound, but we always get them, just happens this year I am trying to lose weight, but we still got them and I had one so that is over and done with. Kiddo wants to go back today and I will take her since she has some tickets left but not getting any food today, but we might if we get in a really good workout get an ice cream cone. I decided I am not going to get rid of all the things in my life that I enjoy, I just have to learn to moderate and to workout to burn it off. I have cut out a lot of the unnecessary crud that is so harmful and I have started eating breakfast and lunch and snacks through out the day instead of waiting until I get home and then binge until the time I go to bed. Those little changes alone are making the difference. It is going to be a slow weight loss, but I have lost the weight very fast before and gained every pound back and then some. So just making lifestyle changes and just taking care of me for a change. -Last edited by jenfett; 06-04-2011 at 11:22 AM. -Glad you were able to maintain through a rough weekend. I hope you get your new siggy tomorrow. -Yay I was able to set up my signature today!! Little things make me happy. -Down 7 lbs since last Saturday! I know some of that is water so I was happy that I made it to my weekly goal! -Had a great week I stayed on track. I went to the gym everyday and had wonderful workouts! I did not binge at all, I have made it through 12 days without a slip up at all! -My daughter and I walked in Relay for Life yesterday afternoon, we couldn't stay the entire day and night because my daughter is only 6 and it was super hot so we were out there for 4 and a 1/2 hours and we clocked in 6 miles which is wonderful and we had a wonderful time. Next year we plan on being there start to finish so we will build up to it over the next year. -Life is good, I have changed a lot mentally over the past month and it has made a difference. I am so much more happier than I have been in a very long time and when momma is happy, everyone is happy LOL I am half way to my first mini goal and once I get there I will do a week of maintenance. Maybe two weeks. To make sure I can stay at that weight before I take it to another level so I can knock off the next 30 lbs. I am hoping by doing this I won't hit that dreaded wall that I always seem to hit. -Since I did Relay yesterday (which Saturday is my normal break day) today I am resting, my body aches a bit today so I am going to relax and rest and be ready to hit hard again tomorrow! -wow.. you have already committed (hardest part for me). -its just going to get better from here ! -"Official weigh in week 5" -Made it through the week very well, worked out every single day and stayed on plan and didn't have any slip ups in meals. I can tell already that my heart and lungs are getting much stronger because I am able to to go a full 35 minutes on the elliptical now and I know I could go longer but my lunch breaks are only an hour and I have to shower because I do get very sweaty. I am able to work with my heartrate around 146 to 150 for 30 of those minutes so I know I am getting healthier regardless of what the scales say. I have had a pretty crappy day but have been on my feet since 7am taking care of my kids first case and hopefully the last case of lice, I was livid to find out they don't do screenings in school any more because it "hurts the kids feelings" when they get sent home with lice, so instead now they let them just run a muck and don't tell anyone or even find out when there is an outbreak. But after spending 5 hours working on her hair (she has very long and thick hair) I then cleaned everything on the top floor of the house and have washed all of the bedding and pretty much all of the clothes again. On top of that I got an abscessed tooth yesterday and have been dealing with that as well. The positive thing is that I stayed very busy today and got loads of exercise cleaning the house. I will finish the laundry and clean the bottom floor tomorrow and I have to wash and vacuum the car to make sure there are no buggies in there. I know that it happens to just about every kid, I just hate it LOL. Anywho that's my weekly update. -Seriously wanting to give up today, it was a really crappy weekend and I feel like why flippin bother anymore. Just having a blue day I guess and hoping that when I go to the gym at lunch it will snap me out of my funk. Just feeling used anymore so why should I try and make myself better, no one gives a real damn anyways. The answer to that question I know is, that I give a damn and that I am doing this for myself. I am just tired. Tired of trying and doing and doing it all. Maybe instead of the elliptical I need to do boxing workouts LOL. Anywho I had to get that off my chest so I can stop brooding and just move on with the day. -Well thankfully I pulled myself out of my funk yesterday. I did make it to the gym for a really good workout but it was funny because I got to the gym and quickly realized that I had forgotten my socks and well in the mood that I was already in I for a split second thought about not working out and just going back up to my desk but I was like, no I have to do this, so I did my workout without my socks and was so glad that I did because it just helped me get over myself and the feelings that I was having and to just get myself back on track. This journey is going to be a long slow and painful process but it just has to keep going. I have to completely accept that this is my lot in life and that even though it is not easy I have to do it and get healthy or it is going to be a short and miserable life. -I seriously don't get it, and think my scales officially hate me. I have worked so hard this week and have been good on my food and I just don't understand why I have not lost anything, not even a pound. I am hoping that it is just because that I have had TOM again this week for the second time this month. -I have decided that if the scales aren't moving something has to be changing so I took measurements of my whole body, or at least the parts I care about LOL I just wish I had done that when I started this process. So the embarrassing numbers are below and I will measure again next week. -I have also increased my cardio workout to 40 minutes on the elliptical and I have been able to increase it to 3 miles total while maintaining a heart rate average of 150 for 30 of the 40 minutes. So I know I am getting stronger because I have to work harder to get my heart rate up and keep it up. I am also in the processing finding a new house, I viewed one last night and fell in love with it, but so did lots of other people so I am putting it out in the universe that if this is meant to be then it will happen and be easy. PLease be easy, I am tired of having to struggle through everything LOL. -Man these numbers don't lie and sure do make me feel like a whale. But you know I honestly don't feel that way most of the time, most of the time I feel like I am smaller than I am, and I am ok until I look at a picture or I look in the mirror. It messes with my head sometimes but I haven't given up yet. If though I go through another week without any loss then I am going to have to change my food again and I don't know how much smaller I can on my food, because I need some food, I can't get by on just veggies lol. Anyways I have a ton to do this weekend with cleaning and packing and looking for houses ( just in case the one from last night falls through). So take care all and thank you for reading. -Last edited by jenfett; 06-25-2011 at 10:40 AM. -Well I let what usually happens happen...I let stress get in the way of what I was working towards. Lost all motivation, starting eating like crazy, and I didn't stop me, neither did anyone else. I even stopped coming here, actually I think the 25th of June was the last time I logged in. Its all in my head, I know, I just don't know how to deal with stress or not speaking my mind in any other way than hurting myself. It comes so easy for some, but not me. Whatever it may be, I need to cut the strings and get over it, I need to become a totally different person, I need to become me. I am too busy trying to do and be what everyone else wants me to be that I have never learned who I am and what I want in my life. I don't love myself and never really have. I am told that I am a very negative person, always depressed, and think everything stinks. Partly this is true, and while I don't know 100% of the cause I certain know a few key things that are causing most of my grief, and if I would just learn to open my mouth and say what is on my mind or hurting me or what I disagree with then I think I can start making the changes in my life that will help me get to a different level. I fear though hurting anyone's feeling and most people don't like people to disagree with them so I always walk on eggshells and worry about what people think and I just internalize everything, so on top of my weight I have years and years worth of pent up feelings that don't go anywhere but eat away at me everyday. Sometimes I wish I could just be a *****, that would make it so much easier because I wouldn't care what anyone thought. -At any rate I just needed to talk that out and at least not have that floating around my head. I went back to the gym today, didn't want to but I did. I will get back on track. I am a person who needs help that is for darn sure, maybe some day I will figure it all out, hopefully sooner rather than later. -Due to Hurricane Irene, parts of New Jersey were declared a federal disaster area this week.

The key issue for active learning to solve is how to select the most "valuable" training samples to reduce labeled cost of amount of unlabeled samples. In the paper, we propose an efficient active Bayes classifier by using Affinity Propagation (AP) to select the most valuable samples on the unlabeled data sets. Firstly, the method clusters amount of unlabeled sample data by using AP algorithm. Secondly, through exemplars obtained from the results of cluster and similarity matrix, the method selects the unlabeled samples for experts to label. The method choose two kinds of most valuable instances to label: one is cluster center instance, which also called exemplar instance. Another is the instance which stays in the farthest position to the cluster center in the same cluster, that is, the sample which sets in the nearest position to the cluster boundary. The experiment results on UCI data sets demonstrate that our method is simple and more efficient compared with traditional active learning method. -Our company’s team create optimal, intuitive, and efficient UI/UX design services for mobile, web, and desktop applications. -Through powerful, well-designed user interfaces we help companies bring customers a seamless and enjoyable user experience which hold and deserve attention.

I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more clearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints. Alas, as we get up in life, and are more preoccupied with our affairs, even a holiday is a thing that must be worked for. To hold a pack upon a pack-saddle against a gale out of the freezing north is no high industry, but it is one that serves to occupy and compose the mind. And when the present is so exacting who can annoy himself about the future? -As many British visitors to France have learnt to their dismay, if you ask a local, “Parlez-vous anglais?”, the answer is often “Non”. -Such a response, perhaps accompanied by a dismissive Gallic shrug, may prompt the appearance on the traveller’s face of what the author PG Wodehouse described as “the shifty hangdog look that announces that an Englishman is about to speak French”. -Britons have never been renowned for their mastery of French — or indeed any other foreign language — but a new ranking shows that our historical rivals and closest neighbours have little to crow about when it comes to their command of English. -The English Proficiency Index, a survey of countries without English as a national language, puts France in 35th place – behind the Philippines, South Korea and Lebanon. -The index, compiled by Education First, a language training company, ranks the French as the worst English speakers in western Europe while Sweden comes out top. -Christian Monlord, a Frenchman and conference interpreter, said the results did not surprise him. “French used to be the language of diplomacy, and it is still a big international language, so many French people still take the attitude that others should speak their language,” said Mr Monlord, 75. -Another reason why the French are lagging behind in learning English may be a feeling that the world’s lingua franca is creeping into daily life in France, threatening the very survival of the language of Voltaire. -English expressions are increasingly used by French speakers, even if their overall level of spoken English may not be good. -Parisians speak the best English in France, according to the survey, but it places the capital 25th among international cities behind Shanghai, Buenos Aires and Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. -Many French people also blame foreign language teaching in schools. -Teachers say they are trying to place more emphasis on conversational English, but they are often limited by a lack of resources, especially in small towns and rural areas. -Damien Gabriel, 29, said children and their parents were also to blame. “I think there are many kids in school who don’t understand how important it is to speak English,” he said. -According to a Eurobarometer report in 2012, 39 per cent of France’s population speak English. Another survey published by the European Commission indicated that 38 per cent of Britons speak a foreign language. -Breaking up is never an easy thing to do, no matter who you are or where you are. -But breaking up on a television show has to be one of the most brutal ways a relationship can end. -Izzy Vesey and Simon DeBono from Australia were engaged to be married and have been appearing in the latest season of the Aussie reality show Bride & Prejudice. -The programme follows couples planning to wed against the wishes of their family and in this week’s episodes Izzy and Simon’s controversial relationship came crashing down. -The pair, who are a model and a barber respectively, were involved in an open relationship, where they could sleep with other people. -They claim this was due to problems in the past with Simon cheating. -But in order for them to stay together there were some rules in place that they had follow and one of the most important was that they weren’t meant to get involved with former boyfriends or girlfriends. -However it seems Simon wasn’t a massive fan of this rule and had been breaking it for a while. -In heartbreaking scenes one week before their wedding, Izzy discovered that her husband-to-be has been sending very explicit texts to his ex-girlfriend Megan. -“What did I lie to you about?” asks Simon. -Simon then went on to admit that he was still in love with his ex and didn’t want to marry Izzy anymore. -But was he bothered by her words? Not really. He merely responded by saying “that’s wonderful” before walking away. -Furious with his reaction, Izzy storms back to the house and her cast mates watch in horror as she goes into a meltdown. -She screams: “That’s wonderful. That’s WONDERFUL? THAT’S ALL I F***ING GET? THAT’S WONDERFUL? -The camera then shows Simon putting in his headphones and walking off for a midnight stroll. -Shortly after the pair both left the show, with Izzy’s mum Bobbi coming to pick her up – relieved that her daughter is now free from the “devil”. -Following the airing of the emotional episodes, Izzy opened up about the dramatic situation to New Idea. -“There was a lot of stuff that was going on behind the scenes with Simon that I wasn’t privy to and I felt like I was fighting so hard for this relationship and it became apparent that I was the only one fighting for it. -The ash cloud reminds us of the risks of risk aversion. Shutting down Europe's airspace removed the risk of an ash-caused crash, but it also increased all sorts of other risks: the risk of death to a patient because an urgent medical operation might have to be postponed for lack of supplies, the risk of poverty to a Kenyan farm worker because roses could not be flown to European markets, the risk of a collision between ferries on extra night-time sailings in the English Channel. And so on. Risk decisions cannot be taken in isolation. The precautionary principle makes too little allowance for the risks that are run by avoiding risks - the innovations not made, the existing suffering not alleviated. The ash cloud, by reminding us of the risks of not being able to fly planes, is a timely reminder that the risks of global warming must be weighed against the risks of high energy costs - the risks of poverty (cheap energy creates jobs), of hunger (fertiliser costs depend on energy costs), of rainforest destruction and indoor air pollution (expensive electricity makes firewood seem cheaper), of orangutan extinction in subsidised biofuel palm oil plantations. -Oh, and remember the lessons of public choice theory: if you set up a body called the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre, don't be surprised if it over-reacts the first time it gets a chance the demonstrate that it considers itself - as all public bodies always do - underfunded. -...the excitable idea that one volcanic belch has reminded us how small we are reveals what lies behind the contemporary green outlook: a misanthropic view of mankind as a cocky and destructive species which needs to be firmly put back in its place. It is striking that even a natural event which cannot in anyway be described as 'manmade' has unleashed so much nature-dominates-man commentary. This shows that, for all contemporary commentators' claims that they are only interested in communicating the 'scientific facts' about what will happen if we continue distorting and warping the natural world with CO2, in fact they are instinctively drawn to any natural occurrence that can be held up as evidence of Mother Nature's power over deluded mankind. -Progressive Labs Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500mg 60c, the acetyl ester and biologically active form of L-Carnitine, is an effective delivery form for both L-Carnitine and acetyl groups. Essential for normal mitochondrial function in all cells, L-Carnitine's primary function is to transport long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are oxidized to produce energy. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is unique in that it can cross the blood-brain barrier where it facilitates energy production in brain cells. The acetyl group it carries contribute to production of the important neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Research shows Acetyl-L-Carnitine is critical to youthful cellular function in the brain, heart, liver, peripheral nerves and immune system, which makes it extremely important for anti-aging. -One (1) to six (6) capsules daily. -All black themes are always well liked by people.

Pulp Fiction and The Muppets. -that is hilarious. i gotta show k this when he gets home from work! -The CDC reported this week that five cases of H. flu invasive disease have appeared in children in Minnesota. There have been no reports of similar disease in Massachusetts thus far. -One of the five children reported to the Minnesota Department of Health with invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease died. Only one of the children had completed the primary Hib immunization series; three had received no doses of Hib-containing vaccine, according to the CDC. “The five Hib cases are the largest number among children aged <5 years reported from Minnesota since 1992. The cases occurred during a Hib vaccine recall and continuing nationwide shortage that began in December 2007," said the CDC. -An American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) alert on the same date reminds pediatricians and family practitioners that it is “critically important” for all infants to complete the primary three dose series of a Hib-containing vaccine on schedule. -“Given the vaccine shortage, prolonged booster deferral, and reduced compliance with the primary series coverage, the increase in the number of Hib cases in Minnesota likely reflects a weakening of herd immunity — that is, the percentage of immunized children in the population has dropped below a certain critical level,” said the AAP. -Prior to widespread Hib vaccination, H.

For a typical Global 1000 company with 27.8 billion in revenue, Hackett’s study estimated that commodity and offshore labor inflation will drive a 150 million per year hit to the bottom line. Ouch! -Why? While most companies are now able to effectively anticipate commodity price increases, more than 60% of companies surveyed by Hackett in the recent study have not been successful at mitigating these cost increases. The reality is that few executives have experienced significant inflation, which is now at levels not seen in 30 years (when inflation rates hovered around 13% back in 1981). -And while inflation may not yet be at 13%, it is bad. Not only do respondents to the Hackett study expect the rate of inflation for commodities overall to rise by more than 30%, to 6.3% a year, but commodity price volatility has increased nearly 60% since before the recession. Making matters worse, at the same time, due to the talent crunch, the rate for internal labor is expected to more than triple from 0.7% to 2.2% and the rate of inflation for external labor is expected to more than double from 1.2% to 3%. -This entry was posted in Analyst, Economics on June 30, 2011 by thedoctor. -Regular readers of SI will know the importance of good should-cost modeling (which is also great for negotiations) as well as good market intelligence (which has dimensions and is valuable in a down economy) in cost reduction and avoidance. And while both should-cost modelling and market intelligence have a number of critical requirements that must be met for success, they both have one key requirement in common — good data. But where do you get good data? Certainly not from supplier bids! A new supplier is going to bid what it thinks it can get, not what the actual price is. Market indices from governments and professional associations? Better, but they will typically be at least a month or so behind. Trade associations that track and monitor prices on a daily basis or stock markets that trade the commodity? Great — but do you have the IT skills to integrate the feeds? And are you going to do it for the dozens of raw materials and commodities you need to build your should cost models? -To help their clients understand the data, Mintec provides a data analysis package, called Datagain, which can be used to import, graph, analyze, and compare different line items (such as the petrol price in the UK and the petrol price in Australia, normalized to US dollars). A user can graph any set of series, against any frequency, using any (currency and unit) converions, for any date range she chooses. She can also normalize or index this data using a custom formula, factor in seasonality, and plot trends. She can also break the series down across two or four graphs and/or plot specific subseries, against different projections, to see how the price might trend over time under different assumptions. The normalization / indexing equations can use all of the standard algebraic operators and be defined over any set of variables, including user defined variables, that the user chooses. -If the user is not sophisticated at trend analysis, or does not want to do it, Mintec also offers Benchmarking and Market (Intelligence) Report services that do a deep dive into a particular raw material, commodity, or service that discuss recent, current, and projected pricing subject to the state of the market and the dominant factors at play. These, by request, reports complement the monthly market reports and commodity fact sheets that track the major commodities and markets and their relative month-over-month changes for buyers who want to look at the bigger picture. If the user wants to learn more about Datagain, analysis, and should-cost modeling, Mintec also provides on-demand out-of-the-box and customized training sessions as well as quarterly newsletters and occasional articles. -It’s a huge amount of data, that comes at a very low price point. Most customers pay less than 100K £s for access to the data they need, when they need it, updated as often as they like. Moreover, medium-sized business can get basic access (to the datafeeds) and access to the desktop Datagain tool for as little as 10K £s a year. Large enterprises will probably want the on-line hosted applet version (at the higher price-point) that runs through the browser on a hosted database that is accessible anywhere, anytime, and always up to date. While it is more expensive, it’s still cheap compared to what the organization will be paying for their ERP solution (and much more valuable from a cost avoidance perspective). -This entry was posted in Best Practices, Market Intelligence on June 30, 2011 by thedoctor. -TMS Requires 100 Million, Does ERP Require 1 Billion? -Ben Pivar, Vice President and North American Supply Chain Lead for Capgemini regarding Transportation Management Systems (TMS) Pivar says that the economics of installing a TMS package on a client server, for example, doesn’t really work until you have nearly $100 million in freight spend and that’s why on-demand is so popular in that space. -SI has to agree. Unless a firm has tens of millions in freight spend, the costs of installation, maintenance, and usage tend to dwarf the benefits of using a TMS system. However, what’s even more important to note is that enterprise ERP (from a top vendor) is, on average, at least five, if not (usually) ten times, more expensive to install, integrate, maintain, and use than TMS. This would seem to indicate that the economics of traditional ERP don’t make sense unless your company has 1 Billion in spend, or at least 1 Billion in revenue. In other words, unless you’re a member of the Fortune 2000 or Global 3000, traditional end-to-end on-premise enterprise ERP is probably not for you. And it would appear that Oracle, one of the largest players, tends to agree. Why do you think it has advertisements stating it has 98% of the Fortune 500? It’s not just because the Fortune X, it’s target market, provide it with its biggest deals. It’s because Oracle also understands that unless a company has reached a critical mass, given the cost of the system, the company won’t get the advertised return (which is a key to keeping the company as a high-paying customer year after year). -However, every organization needs a good transaction store and data repository as analysis is key to supply management success. So what does this mean if you’re not one of the lucky ones? Don’t look at a a tradtional on-premise end-to-end ERP from a big boy. Look at either a newer, smaller, slimmed down offering from a smaller player, possibly based on an open-source solution (like Compiere), a suite from a provider that maintains its own transaction store, or a newer, slimmed down, SaaS offering from a traditional provider that can integrate with some BoB solutions in the cloud and offer an effective hybrid solution. Just don’t go for the billion-dollar solution, because your organization likely won’t get a return from the millions it will cost. -This entry was posted in Inventory, Logistics, Technology on June 29, 2011 by thedoctor. -Check out the live debate in two hours (@ 2pm EDT) between Paul Martyn, VP of Supply Strategy at BravoSolution, and Howard Coleman, principal of MCA Associates, to find out. -This entry was posted in Uncategorized on June 29, 2011 by thedoctor. -As per yesterday’s post, it’s been less than five months since we last checked in with Trade Extensions, who had traded up to a Fact Sheet User Interface and added a slew of new features, including improved RFI support, multi-dimensional rankings in e-Negotiation, Google Earth integration, new incumbent rules, and an OLAP foundation to reporting, including the implementation of a new n-way comparison report. Since then, Trade Extensions has been on a tear to add new functionality as fast as it can to make the platform not only one of the most powerful expressive bidding optimization platforms on the planet, but also one of the easiest to use — listening to its users (which include the Fortune 1000) and adding features and functions that make an average buyer’s life easier, taking usability to a whole new level yet again. And while earth-shattering technology improvements are cool, it is usability that is the ultimate key to to adoption, use, and, ultimately, cost avoidance and reduction in your sourcing organization. -Not only are there new rules that allow partial awards to be fixed based upon existing scenarios, but the number of constraint categories has doubled. While there were only general and incumbent constraints in the past, there are now an entire category of scenario reference rules and post processing rules. With respect to scenario reference rules, not only can allocations be kept, but bids can be favoured or penalized as well. The post-processing rules are also quite useful. Allocations can automatically be rounded and allocations that don’t meet a minimum number of units can be removed (or re-assigned to the supplier who meets a minimum allocation with the lowest total cost). -The buyer now has fine-grained control over what the supplier sees, and can even mix feedback types. For example, if the buyer only wants the top three suppliers to know they are top three, but suppliers four to six to know their exact rank, they can specify that specific rank starts at bidder four, and the top bidders default to “top 3”. In addition, if the supplier does not meet a minimum bid increment, which can be defined in a number of ways (including, minimum dollar or % decrease over last bid), the supplier gets a nice red error that the bid is not acceptable AND a message indicating the minimum increment required. Finally, and this is really cool, the user can define custom color-coded bid feedback fields based on dynamic formulas that now only let the user know where they rank, but how competitive their bid is (against the current bids from the competition) in English using a buyer defined scale such as “Competitive”, “Slightly Competitive”, “Not Competitive”, and “Not Acceptable”. -Plus, the buyer can now chat with users online in an integrated IM client, and immediately see who is online when they log in as it is a widget on their project management dashboard. -The “dashboards” for RFX and auction phases have also improved. The summary, bidder summary, and lot summary are now completely customizeable by the user, support custom fields, and user-defined colour codings in the rankings. In addition, there is integrated show/hide, drill-down functionality, and customizeable pop-up (bid, trend, and bidder activity) charts where a user can select one, some, or all of the rows in each report. -All and all, it’s a lot of new functionality in a short time frame that makes the tool extremely useable by an average buyer. -This entry was posted in Decision Optimization, Spend Analysis, Technology on June 29, 2011 by thedoctor. -Windham, ME is in zip code 04062.

This year we had got friends from Frankfurt as visitors here – all of them are heavy fans of our Eintracht!!! -Gimmick of the this years Oktoberfest was that our good old friends, the Oktoberfestband Kirchdorfer gathered for us for a photo. Certainly we gave them the Eintracht Frankfurt flag in their hand as well. As the bandleader Thomas S. Wohlschläger realized what’s going on he just replied very dry: “Grenzwertig!” (It’s on the borderline …) The band asked us also to make pictures without the flag and as a courtesy to our friends we also would like to publish some. -Next year we will certainly celebrate in our hangout again! We are looking forward to see our Frankfurter friends again and of course to enjoy the fantastic Kirchdorfer’s show! -ps: We love the Oktoberfest but never ever the FC Bayern München! -Beduine Anna wishes you Happy Easter! -Do you want to know how to start a PT business? If so then there’s a few things you need to take into consideration. Obviously the first step you will need to move forward is gaining your certificate 3 and 4 in personal training, but it’s what happens both before and after you finish your certification that is most important. -Most RTOs simply don’t teach you how to set up a personal training business. They teach you about movement, nutrition, muscle groups and how to train clients, but business systems, marketing, sales and even people skills is seriously lacking in their training of PTs entering into the business world. -It’s not too dissimilar to a conveyor belt, churning out personal trainers with no real knowledge on how they are going to succeed once they are out in the market place. -In actual fact, if you are looking at how to set up a pt business for success, the planning stages should actually start well before you have finished your qualifications. At least a month out you want to be prepared and ready to hit the ground running so when you do finish, you are ready to go. -Some of the things you need to look at before even finishing your qualifications should be setting up things such as your business name and company registration, your business logo and what type of training model you are planning to implement into your business. -Once you have these things set up, you can then move onto the next stage which would be to set up your online presence. Even if you plan on working out of a gym to start with, you should always be looking at branding yourself and your business, rather than relying on a gym. If you want to know how to set up a PT studio once you leave a gym, the best advice would be to build your brand first so you have an asset you can rebrand into a PT studio. -One of the biggest mistakes a PT can make when learning how to set up a PT business is not branding themselves and their business from day 1. So setting up your social media sites such as a Facebook page, an Instagram account, Youtube channel and website are all essential in branding yourself online and giving people a chance to find and follow you. -The next thing you will need to consider is how to set up PT business systems. The vast majority of PTs when they start training clients, start out by using and tracking their clients with software such as an excel spreadsheet and Google calendars. -In regards to invoicing and accounting, this is usually done through Microsoft Word. This is an extremely messy and unprofessional way to approach your business and one that will waste you a lot of time as you continue your business. -My advice would be to look into a client management software from the beginning. There are many out in the market place such as Client Connect and PT Minder to name just a few. This helps you track all of your clients in the one place, do all your invoicing and tax, scheduling your classes, track the progress of your clients such as their measurements and results etc. which can all be graphed and shared with your clients so they can see the results and improvements they are making. -This also adds a higher level of professionalism to you as a personal trainer as you will be able to offer a better service. -Finally, the real thing you will need to learn if you want to set up a personal training business for success is to get business education. This means mentoring from someone who has been there and knows how to set up pt business systems. This includes crucial things such as marketing, sales, retention and referrals. -Without the knowledge of how to get people through the door, then how to hold onto them and increase the value per client, your business is going to struggle and will ultimately fail. When PTs enter the market place, most of the time they are unaware how competitive the industry is. -Get your business systems in order before day 1 and start understanding how to generate leads. If you need assistance on gaining this education, then there is no better starting place than PT Business Coaches. The Inner Circle Membership offered by PT business coaches is a 12 month program which teaches you everything you need to know about how to set up a personal training business, how to set up PT business systems as well as the key skills of marketing, sales, social media and business growth. -To get access to the PT business coaches program for only $7 please CLICK HERE to find out more. -Check out the Charleston Parks Conservancy's newest glow-up project at their inaugural Hampton Park culinary event, Shucked + Sauced, Sat. Jan. 26 from 1 to 4 p.m. -The event will take place at the newly renovated Rose Pavilion, a previously unused concession stand that has been "re-envisioned and refurbished through the collaborative efforts of the Charleston Parks Conservancy and the City of Charleston." This space will serve as a gathering spot for community events and park programs. -Conventional wisdom says that oysters are best enjoyed during those months containing the letter "r," making September through April prime oyster season. -Shucked + Sauced was curated by chef Mike Lata of FIG and The Ordinary and will feature bites from The Ordinary, Nico, 167 Raw, Chubby Fish, Rodney Scott's BBQ, Lewis Barbecue, and The Obstinate Daughter in addition to local oysters from Lowcountry Oyster Co., Clammer Dave, Barrier Island Oyster Co., and Lady's Island Oysters. There will be wine, and beer from Holy City Brewing Co., plus beachy Lowcountry tunes from Dallas Baker and Friends. -Lata said in a press release, "This event connects two of my favorite things: oysters and Charleston. Having been here for 20 years, I've seen many changes in Charleston. As the city has grown, development has put a lot of stress on the fishing community. Our local oyster farmers are helping to revitalize our working waterfront, just as the Parks Conservancy works to rejuvenate and preserve our city's public green spaces." -Tickets are $85 and include all food and beverages. All proceeds from this event support the Conservancy and their work renovating and beautifying public parks and green spaces. -More photos from our visit to Lowcountry Oyster Co. -I once had a dog named Bear. He was a bit of a goofball. As with many dogs, he would eat almost anything. However, he developed a particular liking for the flavor of whipped cream. We bought the kind that was pressurized and thus made a particular sound when squirted from the can -- compressed air volumizing the whipped cream, making it fluffy. -One time a few months after Bear discovered his love of whipped cream, my mom left the door open when shaving her legs. Bear was in a room nearby, and when my mom started squirting shaving cream from the can, which produced that familiar sound, he came running in and started licking the shaving cream right off her legs. -Habit learning can be summarized as the “acquisition of associations between stimuli and responses;” that is, our brains learning to associate causes and effects, enhancing certain neural pathways. To simplify things, let’s just say the brain builds “roads” between various memories, and the more these roads are travelled the easier they become to travel. The more you think something, the easier it is to think it again.6 This happens regardless of why you thought something or if it is correct or incorrect. For instance, being in a bad mood can cause us to have different morals than we’d have when in a good mood.7 From the “bad mood” nodes of our brain, the easiest roads to travel are often those with “bad” morals. -Furthermore, once these paths are created, our subconscious travels them whether we like it or not. They may even form new paths without us knowing -- shortcuts to feelings whose origins are then forgotten, the result of countless choices that we made sometime in the past.8 (I once had a friend who trimmed her nails to calm herself down. She picked up the habit by being calm, then trimming her nails). Even our emotions can manifest as these “unconscious habits.” 9 Let me say that again: our emotions can be habits whose origins we’ve forgotten. -Negative habits can compound themselves by leading to other negative habits, and pretty soon, you’re on a downward spiral with no roads out (literally -- as long as “road” is synonymous with “neural pathway,” of course). When most of your thoughts are negative, you might exhibit symptoms of depression. When most of your thoughts are fearful, you might exhibit symptoms of anxiety. -Replacing the destination of a well-traveled road can be effective as well (we might call this the “bait and switch”).14 For instance, one of the reasons video games are so appealing is because they provide social interaction combined with a challenge. These are both legitimate psychological needs, but it might be that video games aren’t satisfying anymore. We can’t simply replace them with reading a book -- reading isn’t typically either social or challenging -- but we might replace it with a sport. When your brain feels the need for a challenging social activity, it will think video games. But before long, you can have it thinking soccer, and all the associated thoughts along with your new favorite sport. -Habits are both physical as well as mental. Our brain learns from what we think -- consciously or subconsciously -- but we can build new roads for it to travel. Roads that lead to positive thought. -Just don’t get confused between the whipped cream and the shaving cream. -1A. Earling, The Tetris Effect: Do computer games fry your brain?

In fact, I think it’s precisely the way in which we as a species will achieve immortality. -That’s interesting, of course, but what may be more intriguing is the problem that will come from it. The issue is that once we are digital it will be nearly effortless to replicate us. -Neal Stephenson recently said that games like World of Warcraft are the future of the Metaverse he described. And WoW is a good model for my point as well. -When identities are digital there must be strict, centralized control over that digital reality. Blizzard is God in WoW, as would be expected. They have the power to populate Frostmane with nothing but thousands upon thousands of your character. -Us becoming digitized is inevitable, and as a result we will have to face that problem just as Blizzard has. The question is — who will be our Blizzard? What controlling entity will ensure that there is only one of you in this world? Computer glitches could result in millions of you, or perhaps four — some of which are earlier versions. -If you think the government controls too much of your life now — or that corporations have too much influence over our day-to-day lives today — consider that it will be one of these entities (or some combination thereof) that will control every aspect of who we are: we’ll look like to others, where we can go, what abilities we have, etc. -And while this will be very different than our world today, there will still be corruption and influence from the rich. I cannot help but imagine that corruption in this world will mean the rich will be able to teleport and shoot lighting from their hands, while the poor will have to use public transportation and wait in line at Safeway. -Imagine all the advantages that rich and powerful humans have in this world, and compound them to the limits of our imaginations. Sexual harems, mind control, the ability to take a Google Earth tour by flying like Superman, etc. — these will all be possible inside this other reality. And just as now these things will be restricted and metered out to the masses while being common among the elites. -Gibeault Design, located on Boulevard St-Laurent in Montreal, offers an inspiring and architectural universe.

Understandably, since my father fell hard to alcoholism while living his last years in a kooky town on the Californian coast, which had only one way in, and one way out… He was also addicted to prescription drugs, which he bought by the ton-load over the Internet. -But there is another connection between the US and alcohol in my psyche: an American gave me my first alcoholic drink. I was four years old. She was a neighbour, and had a birthday party for her daughter; having recently moved from the States, she got her Apple Juice and Apple Cider mixed up. When my mum came to pick me up some hours later, I was lying beneath the living room table: I staggered home along the pavement, my fairy wings bent. -These are two defining moments: I won’t go back to California after the hellish week my brother and I spent trying to get my father into a rehabilitation centre, after the nightmare of negotiating his medical bills after the fourth or fifth overdose; and one could argue that the said American introducing me to alcohol gave me a taste, which I abused somewhat through my adolescence and 20s… But these are both other stories. Though the two events popped up in my mind last night after a conversation I had at a dinner party at the weekend. It was about the Little Angel Marionette Theatre’s production of the ‘Very Old Man with Enormous Wings’. The comment was made by an American mother at my daughter’s school who had taken her son to the performance, but had been shocked at what she saw were ‘inappropriate’ scenes that involved copious drinking. I should add here that the Little Angel Marionette Theatre is a puppet theatre, and is primarily a family venue, though some performances are more grown-up than others. This one welcomed a minimum age of six. -The moral is that the village turns into a money-making tourist trap and everyone becomes corrupted, even the priest who turns to cocktails and ends up getting jiggy with the village woman (please keep in mind that they are puppets, so you wouldn’t call this explicit). I was a bit sleepy at this point and lulled by the dark auditorium, put my head back and had a little snooze. So when American mother questioned me about the scene my response was to dismiss it: ‘Oh, it would have gone straight over my daughter’s head.’ But it did get me thinking, particularly as I have witnessed the destruction of alcohol first hand. On going home I read Marquez’s story and saw that the production company had changed the setting from Marquez’s Spain to a British seaside town, and that the boozy bit was also an addition. Who, after all, would hang out in a British seaside town without a bit of booze and brawl? -I walked away from the dinner party thinking it was important that I acknowledge the possible insidious affects of this kind of performance on the tender mind of my young daughter, but I was also sorry that it took away from the overall magic of the story. The puppets were sublime, particularly that of the old man. What a beautiful ending when he finally stretches his wings and reaches out to the sky, and escapes the community who had judged him, used him, and kept him caged. -This entry was posted in Theatre and tagged advertising, alcohol, American culture, British culture, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, literature, Little Angel Marionette Theatre, Old Man with Enormous Wings, theatre, writing.

It’s like, university prepares you for life, work, fending for yourself, supposedly, but does it also prepare you for going out every night with your mates and drinking tons of beers and being the last man standing? I didn’t even question it till my dad fell ill, then I had a totally different perspective on what I had spent the past 15 odd years of my life doing – basically getting drunk. -Reblogged this on Mothermind: Motherhood + Beyond. -[AUTO](RC):[Counter Blast (1) & Put this unit into your soul] During your opponent's end phase, when an opponent's locked card is unlocked, if you have a «Link Joker» vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, lock that unit. -...personally, this card is just annoying to go against regardless of whom the Link Joker's final ace is. The fact that Palladium here is made to keep that disruption factor that the Lock effect really has on the opponent by keeping it locked and either severely weakening attacks or even preventing them from ever happening to begin with at the cost of himself. Now, it would be bad if it was just retired and you'd never see it again, but I personally see this as beneficiary as possible by it going into the Soul as Chaos Breaker Dragon will have more Soul food to eat when you want to start killing things and begin drawing more cards and just plus sing in general. -There are two major drawbacks to Palladium however. One is that you have to be able to actually Lock something to begin with, and if you are unsuccessful at Break Riding with Infinite-Zero Dragon, then it'll cost you even more Counterblast to even get the Lock to begin with let alone retaining it. The other drawback is that you end up losing Palladium by it going into the Soul and losing a 7,000 power supporter, but seeing how he's able to potentially stop a single attack from even happening singlehandedly is just phenomenal and worth the loss especially if you can reinforce it when the spot is open anyway. -Palladium is made to be more of a defensive card with offensive stats, so while others sleep on this card *looks down*, I personally am keeping an eye out against this card. -Next Time: While it's not from Set 13, it's still a Grade 1/7,000 Power that I believe that this card deserves a lot of acknowledgement! -4th card of the week is Link Joker's newest troll card, Palladium. When a unit unlocks during the End Phase, you Counterblast 1 and move him from RG to the soul to lock it again. -Hooray, finally I can talk about this card in more detail than the others. Firstly, this card is pretty neat in Chaos Breaker Dragon decks. His uses are fairly extensive, with the most obvious being he fuels the soul for Chaos Breaker's Limit Break. He can also shut down a front row and thus a whole column for another turn without Chaos needing to commit anything else from the hand. Especially if you have a better booster and need to sack it away nice and neatly. -He's also good for when you are stuck riding Chaos on turn 3 and you're reduced to playing the stall game until you can Chaos Retire away their units. However, if your actual gambit of Chaos Breaker over Infinite Zero works, Palladium's pretty redundant, unless you absolutely need one of their columns re-locked for any reason, since locking generally isn't as good as retiring in terms of long-term benefits. -The fact he now has Colony Maker to search him helps too. I'd run him, if only because to give Chaos more shots at retiring and also because Link Joker has plenty of 7k boosters to play with. -yaxunl marked 4 inline comments as done. -+/// \brief Defines the synch scope ABI for OpenCL. -> > > Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you don't get to define the "ABI for OpenCL" any more than I get to define the "ABI for C". You're defining the ABI for your specific OpenCL implementation, but Clang might reasonably support other implementations with their own ABIs. So this name is inappropriate. -> > > Now, if I understand how SPIR works, SPIR does require some sort of stable lowering of these atomic operations in order to ensure that the resulting LLVM IR can be ingested into an arbitrary implementation. (Ot at least that was true prior to SPIR V?) Therefore, SPIR needs to specify a lowering for these atomic operations, and that probably includes ABI values for specific sync-scopes. But the appropriate name for that would be the "SPIR ABI", not the "OpenCL ABI". And, of course, you would need to be sure that you're implementing the lowering that SPIR actually wants. -> > The ABI is not intended for a specific OpenCL implementation, but for extending to other languages. For example, we have a downstream C++ based language called HCC, which may support atomic scope with an ABI different than OpenCL atomic scope ABI. -> By "ABI" you mean that it might present a different model of synchronization scopes to the source language? Okay, that's great, and it explains a lot of things that were very murky about some of our previous conversations. -> - They don't need to be in the __builtin_opencl namespace. -> - They *do* need to be enabled only in language modes with well-defined sync-scope models, which for now just means OpenCL. -> - The language mode's sync-scope model should determine everything about the scope argument, including its type. Sema-level validation requires first determining the language's sync-scope model. -> - There is no meaningful way to "default" the scope argument on the non-scoped builtins the way that we are now. Instead, the scope argument should only exist for the scoped builtins. -> Alternatively, if you potentially want the opencl-model builtins to be usable from non-opencl languages, the right design is for HCC to use its own set of builtins with their own type-checking rules. -> In either case, I don't think it's a good idea to call this "ABI", which is associated too strongly with target-lowering concepts. You're really talking about a source-language concept. -We could introduce __builtin_hcc_atomic_* in downstream HCC. -We need a generic approach to represent atomic scope values for different languages and associated semantic/codegen needs, and AtomicScopeABI seems generic enough to serve the purpose. It has interface for semantic checking (isValid), and the interface to map to LLVM sync scope for both constant and variable arguments. If the name is not proper, we could rename it to just `AtomicScope`. -I can remove the default atomic scope for atomic expressions without scope originally. For them I just emit LLVM atomic instructions with default LLVM synch scope. -Weird Religion is a podcast for people who think religion is weird but love it anyway.

The goal remains simple – provide all children with amazing opportunities to engage in free play in the outdoors. That is more complex than first meets the eye. The following is a reflection from two people engaged in our first Seeds for Urban Play project. -Last winter we embarked on an incredible new adventure with the Children at Play Network, Bernheim Forest, and Choosewell Communities to bring free play to our residents. New Directions Housing Corporation provides affordable housing to over 1,000 families in the Louisville metro area, and not only houses many kids but also provides an afterschool and summer camp at many of our properties. This partnership was a perfect opportunity for us to train our staff and start implementing enriching programming through free play at our apartment communities. -The overall process of first learning what free play was, what it takes to have one, how to participate, and what is required was amazing. After our training, we couldn’t wait to get started and share these experiences with our resident families. On September 22, we were able to see first hand what free play looks like up close. Participating in free play as a facilitator, gave us the opportunity to observe, let the children run wild with their imagination and be creative, guide and let them lead. Overall it had a positive outcome on our children and youth; it gave them the opportunity to have control of something and not feeling like it has to be corrected; but the feeling that they are in lead. -The dynamics of what free play consists of, how it happens, and the outcome and the participation of the community and children was an eye opener. The children jumped right in and immediately engaged with the loose parts and each other. In the role of facilitator, we extricated ourselves so that the children had ownership over the process and their own play, which was difficult to do at times. It’s not a form of play that most of us are used to facilitating. However, once we were able to release our own management of the play, we were able to see the depth of each child’s engagement. For instance, they didn’t run from one activity to the next, they stayed with what they were working on until they decided it was complete. -As adults and parents, it can be difficult to remove yourself from directing the play. But we are confident that with a little practice, it will come more naturally. This experience was truly rewarding and we are looking forward to our next free play day to further expand upon our training. -If you would like to learn more…click HERE for a short video of the project. -Concordia is interested in quality students who would be interested in a Christ-centered education. -Many of our students are children and friends of alumni. -Please use the form below to let us know about prospective students you believe would be a good fit for Concordia. -We're here to help!

However few can claim to have unbleached and unbromated flour, which is good to know since bleach and bromated flour have been linked to serious illnesses. -The difference at Blocks Pizza is the use of “mother dough” and in a way this dough has a life of its own, because it is leavened naturally for 48 to 72 hours. Owner Eugene Vittoni works the dough every few days, with flour and water to keep it fresh. Due to the leavening process time, you don’t have that bloated feeling and it’s easily digestible; in addition they support local farms so ingredients are all fresh. In fact they pride themselves on having no freezer or adding preservatives to their food. -We tried the pizza and it was just as advertised, it tasted fresh and no bloating or stuffy feeling afterwards. -At Blocks Pizza, slices are sold in blocks or rectangles which are then divided into 4 equal parts. Prices range from $3.00 to $5.00 per block, depending on the toppings. Other notable differences include their infused garlic, rosemary, jalapeño or plain olive oils; which they offer instead of your typical shredded parmesan, spices of oregano or chile. -We did not get a chance to try their calzones or their pizza pockets, but they have been trending on social media and certain they are worth a try. -Note: Depending on the time or day, parking may be a little difficult so go at a leisurely pace. -Visit Blocks Pizza Deli and tell them that you heard about them on GreatFoodList.com! -NOTE: Greatfoodlist.com features the best of local eateries and culinary events in south florida! -Dental Check-Ups in Arlington Heights | Gilbert X. Mendez, D.D.S. -The first dental check-up with Dr. Mendez involves a discussion about your medical history, during which you will need to explain any dental and medical conditions you suffer from. Also, the dentist may ask about your diet, supplements you take on a normal basis, and any medications. -Once the examination is complete, Dr. Mendez presents you the results, and you decide the next steps. If cavities are discovered, the dentist will suggest fillings or crowns, if there are missing teeth, they may suggest bridges or implants, and if there are infections, they will prescribe you antibiotics to reduce the infection before treatment. If there are no dental problems, the dentist may proceed to a professional dental cleaning where the plaque and tartar build-up are removed to minimize cavity occurrence and increase teeth’s aesthetics. -Dental check-ups are best done every six months. Six months is the average time span between two check-ups, but depending on your dental health Dr. Mendez may increase or decrease the number of annual check-ups. For example, if your teeth and gums are in good condition, and there is no significant plaque build-up in-between visits the dentist may agree to one annual check-up. -Free Webinar: How Can Insurance Exchanges Strategically Approach the Selection and Management of Qualified Health Plans? -Contracting with issuers to offer qualified health plans (QHPs) is one of the most important opportunities that Exchanges have to affect health care reform in their states. Unlike many start-up tasks, certifying, re-certifying, de-certifying and managing the relationship over time with health plans is an ongoing and evolving set of tasks. Therefore, Exchanges should take a strategic approach to these functions. A free webinar, sponsored by the State Network, on Thursday, February 14, 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET, will look at the many of the types of decisions that Exchanges should consider in preparing to launch a clean, effective QHP solicitation process; the standards that Exchanges can use to certify QHPs; and what are options for “negotiating” key elements of the issuers’ proposals.

Therefore many teachers prohibit their students to have their mobile phones switched on during classes. Obviously, those who ignore these rules will have to take pedagogical actions. Anyway, a british student now invented a ringtone, that cannot be heard by adults. -It works due to the fact, that the spectrum of audible sounds in adults is more narrow than on teenagers: Adults can usually hear up to the frequency of 14 kHz, whereas young people are able to hear sounds of 16 or 17 kHz. Therefore the ringtone can be noticed by the students as a very high pitch sound. -​​"PICKING WINNERS IS OUR BUSINESS" -​​Copyright © 2016. JERSEYKIDPICKS.

Both soloists now play an almost identical part at a different pitch. With this talented duet the work comes to a spectacular close. -Paddy Cullen’s Pub in Dublin’s leafy Ballsbridge is an ideal location for the discerning customer to enjoy a drink or fine food in good company and pleasant traditional surroundings. -Hugely popular around match-time, be it Soccer or Rugby (thanks to its close proximity to the Aviva Stadium), there is always a good atmosphere around the pub.

It is the leading cause of viral encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in Asia. Encephalitis is an infection of the membrane around the brain and spinal cord. This infection often causes only mild symptoms, but prolonged swelling of the brain can cause permanent brain damage or death. -Japanese encephalitis virus is carried and spread by mosquitoes. -The Japanese encephalitis SA14-14-2 vaccine is used to help prevent this disease in adults and adolescents who are at least 17 years old. -This vaccine is recommended for people who live in or travel to areas where Japanese encephalitis is known to exist, or where an epidemic has recently occurred. -You should receive the vaccine and booster dose at least 1 week prior to your arrival in an area where you may be exposed to the virus. -Not everyone who travels to Asia needs to receive a Japanese encephalitis vaccine. Follow your doctor instructions or the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). -This vaccine is also recommended for people who work in a research laboratory and may be exposed to Japanese encephalitis virus through needle-stick accidents or inhalation of viral droplets in the air. -Like any vaccine, the Japanese encephalitis SA14-14-2 vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person. -a weak immune system caused by disease or by taking certain medicines or receiving cancer treatments. -Vaccines may be harmful to an unborn baby and generally should not be given to a pregnant woman. However, not vaccinating the mother could be more harmful to the baby if the mother becomes infected with a disease that this vaccine could prevent. Your doctor will decide whether you should receive this vaccine, especially if you have a high risk of infection with Japanese encephalitis virus. -Do not receive this vaccine without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. -The Japanese encephalitis SA14-14-2 vaccine is given in a series of 2 shots. The shots are usually 28 days apart. Your individual booster schedule may be different from these guidelines. Follow your doctor's instructions or the schedule recommended by the health department of the state you live in. -In addition to receiving the Japanese encephalitis vaccine, use protective clothing, insect repellents, and mosquito netting around your bed to further prevent mosquito bites that could infect you with the Japanese encephalitis virus. -Becoming infected with Japanese encephalitis is much more dangerous to your health than receiving this vaccine. However, like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low. -Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; dizziness, weakness, fast heart rate; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. -pain, redness, tenderness, or a hard lump where the shot was given. -What other drugs will affect Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine? -This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide. -Copyright 1996-2018 Cerner Multum, Inc. Version: 2.03.

She mentioned the specific case of reducing anxiety in others by being really clear. Instead of saying something like meet me Thursday, say why. I agree that getting asked to meet a professor or a boss is a scary thing, so the detail she suggested is great. -For the moment, not anxious? -But today I’m thinking more about my own anxiety, and yours. Anxiety is so often a problem, we may lose sight of its positive side. So I think we should embrace our anxiety, for it is a big part of what makes us empathetic humans. I think anxiety is fundamentally a social feeling. We feel anxious if we think we will let someone else down. We could also feel anxious anticipating the reactions of unreasonable people. Miscommunication is also a rich field for anxiety. -What exactly is anxiety? What comes up on Google for anxiety is “a feeling of nervousness or unease…typically about an uncertain event or outcome.” Obviously life throws all kinds of events and circumstances at us about which we are uncertain and worry. I guess worry has to be the first cousin of anxiety. Together and in a helpful way, they can help us do what we should do, pay forward the debt to our future self, so she is as happy and fulfilled as she can be. -So the best thing to reduce anxiety is simply to do what needs to be done, so you won’t have anything to be anxious about. If you are worried about being late, be on time. If you are anxious about a test, study more. Oh, if only it were so simple. Sometimes you cannot do what you must do. Conflicting demands on your time can make you anxious. If I let anxiety run my life entirely, I would never do anything new or creative, just follow the demands others put on my time. -Sometimes anxiety gets higher and higher because not doing something makes you anxious, yet you somehow keep failing to do it. In this case, listen to your anxiety. What is it trying to tell you? Do you actually not want to do the thing you think you want to do? Or is it something else? Try to figure it out. A healthy level of anxiety we all need. Sometimes it will build up to nearly unbearable levels, simply to tell you you don’t really want that career, that project, that relationship. -In some ways, this is a very simplistic post because it is not addressing how crippling anxiety can become. But the basic message is not simple. It is that anxiety is a part of being human, so fundamental that no anxiety would be as troubling as too much anxiety. And our anxiety is telling us something. Listen and try to figure out what it is. -This entry was posted in Managing an academic career, Mentoring, Social interactions, Undergraduates and tagged anxiety, career choices, clarity, kindness, self honesty.

Others could add their thoughts as well, after registering with their own names. In the end 41 people made more than 350 comments, many of which elicited responses from the authors. The revised essays were then reviewed by the quarterly’s editors, who made the final decision to include them in the printed journal, due out Sept. 17. -The Shakespeare Quarterly trial, along with a handful of other trailblazing digital experiments, goes to the very nature of the scholarly enterprise. Traditional peer review has shaped the way new research has been screened for quality and then how it is communicated; it has defined the border between the public and an exclusive group of specialized experts. -Today a small vanguard of digitally adept scholars is rethinking how knowledge is understood and judged by inviting online readers to comment on books in progress, compiling journals from blog posts and sometimes successfully petitioning their universities to grant promotions and tenure on the basis of non-peer-reviewed projects. -The quarterly’s experiment has so far inspired at least one other journal — Postmedieval — to plan a similar trial for next year. -Just a few years ago these sorts of developments would have been unthinkable, said Dan Cohen, director of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. “Serious scholars are asking whether the institutions of the academy — as they have existed for decades, even centuries — aren’t becoming obsolete,” he said. -Each type of review has benefits and drawbacks. -The traditional method, in which independent experts evaluate a submission, often under a veil of anonymity, can take months, even years. -Clubby exclusiveness, sloppy editing and fraud have all marred peer review on occasion. Anonymity can help prevent personal bias, but it can also make reviewers less accountable; exclusiveness can help ensure quality control but can also narrow the range of feedback and participants. Open review more closely resembles Wikipedia behind the scenes, where anyone with an interest can post a comment. This open-door policy has made Wikipedia, on balance, a crucial reference resource. -Ms. Rowe said the goal is not necessarily to replace peer review but to use other, more open methods as well. -In some respects scientists and economists who have created online repositories for unpublished working papers, like repec.org, have more quickly adapted to digital life. Just this month, mathematicians used blogs and wikis to evaluate a supposed mathematical proof in the space of a week — the scholarly equivalent of warp speed. -In the humanities, in which the monograph has been king, there is more inertia. “We have never done it that way before,” should be academia’s motto, said Kathleen Fitzpatrick, a professor of media studies at Pomona College. -Ms. Fitzpatrick was a founder of the MediaCommons network in 2007. She posted chapters of her own book “Planned Obsolescence” on the site, and she used the comments readers provided to revise the manuscript for NYU Press. She also included the project in the package she presented to the committee that promoted her to full professor this year. -Many professors, of course, are wary of turning peer review into an “American Idol”-like competition. They question whether people would be as frank in public, and they worry that comments would be short and episodic, rather than comprehensive and conceptual, and that know-nothings would predominate. -After all, the development of peer review was an outgrowth of the professionalization of disciplines from mathematics to history — a way of keeping eager but uninformed amateurs out. -“Knowledge is not democratic,” said Michèle Lamont, a Harvard sociologist who analyzes peer review in her 2009 book, “How Professors Think: Inside the Curious World of Academic Judgment.” Evaluating originality and intellectual significance, she said, can be done only by those who are expert in a field. -The most daunting obstacle to opening up the process is that peer-review publishing is the path to a job and tenure, and no would-be professor wants to be the academic canary in the coal mine. -Although initially cautious, Mr. Galey said he is now “entirely won over by the open peer review model.” The comments were more extensive and more insightful, he said, than he otherwise would have received on his essay, which discusses Shakespeare in the context of information theory. -Advocates of more open reviewing, like Mr. Cohen at George Mason argue that other important scholarly values besides quality control — for example, generating discussion, improving works in progress and sharing information rapidly — are given short shrift under the current system. -“There is an ethical imperative to share information,” said Mr. Cohen, who regularly posts his work online, where he said thousands read it. Engaging people in different disciplines and from outside academia has made his scholarship better, he said. -How can you communicate with us? -Communication between the volunteers and their mentors or core group members is extremely important. These are the email addresses which are essential to remember. -Kate graduated from the Mercy program in 2007.

If you have the money saved already, this article is not for you. -You try to save the amount or borrow it from someone else or borrow it from your own retirement fund. -The first step is to absolutely work the numbers and figure out your budget. While this is not an actual savings tactic, it’s a crucial step in the process because it gives you a concrete goal to work towards. -Knowing this number makes it a real goal and clears up the confusion and vagueness of having some idea of some large dollar amount, that’s probably unattainable anyway. Remember, half the battle is gaining mental clarity and setting the goal. -Remember, half the battle is gaining mental clarity and setting the goal. -Step 2 – Then use a home-buying calculator to plug in your numbers, and it will give you a better sense of how big of a home you can afford. -Zillow’s mortgage calculator is pretty helpful in helping you find this number. -Step 3 – To know how your potential creditors think you’re capable of handling, get pre-qualified. Do not look for a $500,000 home if you are pre-qualified for only $300,000. This is a reality-check step. -For simplicity’s sake, let’s say we did our budgeting and used the calculator to figure out that you can afford and qualified for a $500,000 home, so your down payment savings goal should be $100,000. -Now consider these tips to save up. -Now you can start to plan how much money you should really put aside each month. -You’ll also get a better idea of how long it will take to reach your goal. If you’re on the five-year plan, that means you’ll need to save an extra $20,000 a year. -Don’t panic, just break it down further. An extra $20,000 a year is about $1,700 a month, which sounds way less intimidating. -Keep in mind you’ll still need to continue saving for your emergency fund, IRA, and paying down debt. -You’ve heard this from me again and again: get a side gig, make extra money, work overtime, increase your income! -It sounds like generic advice but there’s a reason why experts dish out the same advice: it’s because earning extra money is a lot easier than drastically changing your lifestyle to scrimp and save. -Going this route is just not realistic or sustainable. Pinching pennies is not going to get you closer to the $1,700 each month, but increasing your income will. -This is going to take research on your part, but it’ll be worth it — just imagine how you will enjoy your dream house, and what the extra income will afford you. -The best way to start is to make a list of what you’re good at, and if you can leverage and outsource those skills during your free time to make that $1,700. -One of the items that your mortgage lender will look at is your overall DTI (debt-to-income) ratio. -If you’re carrying a lot of credit card debt, you might want to look into a personal loan to consolidate and lower your payment. Debt consolidation loans can help you have a single monthly payment at a fixed rate. -Not only does this help you eliminate debt faster, but it can help increase your credit score by up to 40 points according to Payoff. -If you’re able to reduce your monthly payment and increase your score, you’ll be in great shape to qualify for a mortgage. -After you establish that, any kind of extra money that comes in during the year goes straight into that fund. -This includes any bonus from your employer, tax refunds, Christmas bonuses, gifts, inheritances, lottery, gambling win, etc. -A 20 percent savings goal may be discouraging, especially if you have zero saved, but it can be done — all you need is a concrete plan and a savings mentality. -These methods are tried by people I know. -Try to find alternative areas where housing is cheaper and your present savings allow for you to buy a home there, instead of the dream location you previously thought about. -If you have valuable property elsewhere then sell it to arrange for mortgage down payment. This includes inherited valuables, foreign real estate, etc. -Putoff savings in your retirement fund for a couple of years. Redirect this fund to your home buying fund. -If all else fails, then go for mortgage insurance by paying only a small % of the loan, typically 5% only. But, be prepared to spend extra $100-$300 per month on mortgage insurance. You can start repaying the loan faster and as soon as cross the 20% ownership criteria, opt out of that insurance. -Start with determining how much down payment is required for your need, your credit and home location. Then divide the number by the months you’re willing to wait. Once you have the monthly savings goal, start by aggressively saving that amount from your monthly budget or increase side income. -You can also bring in additional money from selling some of your valuable stuff to reach your goal early. You can also consider lowering your goal by opting for a smaller home, different location. If you fail in your goal, down pay a lesser amount and opt for mortgage insurance. -Readers, let us know how you saved for mortgage down payment. -Adweek: So what’s a digital-media tyro like you doing at a fusty old-media company like CBS? -Jim Lanzone: I don’t really think of it that way at all. People think the Internet will supercede TV, but it’s really been more additive than anything else, largely because it’s so portable. It’s not taking anything away from linear television; if anything, it’s encouraged people to spend even more time watching video. -AW: The fact that we can watch TV on a telephone: is this doing something insidious to the parts of our brain that process narrative? -JL: Think about the very early days of TV—the first shows were structured just like radio broadcasts or Broadway shows. You start with the familiar and you expand from there. Creative people haven’t taken advantage of the new media platforms; we’re still in this brackish time between two eras. -AW: You still watch TV? -JL: I’m a binge watcher. I have DirecTV, so I have a ton of shows on the DVR: The Daily Show, [Real Time With] Bill Maher, SNL. I’ve been watching How I Met Your Mother for six years. There are definitely more shows out there that I want to watch that I don’t have time to watch, which I suppose is a great sign of where programming is headed. -AW: Why did CBS issue a fatwa against Hulu? -AW: Can you write code? -JL: I never got into programming when I was a kid. I was too busy playing Pitfall and Kaboom! on Atari to write code. But then again, I don’t think Les Moonves knows how to make a television set either. -AW: So there’s no disconnect between the old media centers—New York, L.A.—and Silicon Valley? -JL: Well, you’re looking at it from a geographic standpoint and that really isn’t relevant any longer. I think Silicon Valley is the third leg of the media stool; I mean, there’s a reason why all the animated features are made in Silicon Valley now. Engineers are the new artists of this generation of media. -AW: Are you from Silicon Valley? -JL: I grew up in San Carlos, where Oracle now stands. In fact, they built Oracle on the old Marine World site. George Lucas used some of the elephants from Marine World in Star Wars, and after it came out—I must have seen it 25 times that summer—they started offering Bantha rides at Marine World. -AW: Speaking of which, what the hell happened to George Lucas? Those three Star Wars prequels were just god-awful. -JL: I know what happened to George Lucas: the ‘80s. If movies peaked in the ‘70s, then it’s fair to say that the 2000s is the Renaissance period for TV. The new Battlestar [Galactica] was at least a thousand times better than the old one. And I almost didn’t watch it at first because I was afraid it was going to ruin my childhood memories of the original. -The Falmouth University community is spread over two campuses - Penryn and Falmouth, which are connected by frequent bus services and a train line.

After 31 years, it might seem safe to assume she’d bore of the sights, spots and surroudings of this great, tourist-rich locale, but rather, the opposite is true. Elisabetta continually discovers amazing new places and hidden gems which she shares on her blog ITALIANBARK, along with plenty of posts on interior design, and her work as an architect. -Start your day with the best coffee in Venice. Located close to the railway station, Torrefazione Cannaregio is a must. -Opened in 1930, this is the oldest coffee shop in town and offers many different kinds of coffees, toasted in-house with a big, old coffee machine. I recommend the Remer blend, a coffee you can only drink here as it’s a secret recipe! -Take a morning walk in Sestiere Cannaregio and visit the workshop of a marionette maker called L’isola di Pinocchio. -It may be hidden behind an ordinary door, in an ancient mezzanine, but here you will step into a magical place, surrounded by handmade marionettes by an amazing artisan. -Libreria Acqua Alta bookshop, in Sestiere Castello, is one of the most original bookshops in the world. -Selling vintage and new books, this place is literally filled with books everywhere, displayed in boats, gondolas, bathtubs, etc. It’s also located between two of my favorite corners of Venice: one is Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, situated in front of the stunning Scuola Grande di San Marco (which has since become the city hospital). -The other corner is Campo San Lorenzo. In this spot, you will see one of the three bent bell-towers of the city. The one of San Giorgio dei Greci church is almost as crooked as the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa! But, I digress. After grabbing a book, find a bench and enjoy it. -Before lunchtime, head to Rialto. -Cross the world-famous bridge and enjoy some fresh fruit and fish in the ancient market of the town, Mercato di Rialto. Despite being a very famous one, it is still a genuine Venetian market where you will find locals buying fresh fish. It has also recently been listed as one of the 10 best markets in the world by The Guardian. If you are wondering where the vegetables and fruit come from, they’re from an island near Venice called “l’orto di Venezia,” Sant’Erasmo, almost entirely covered with fields! -Enjoy sunshine at Le Zattere after an “ombra” (glass of wine) and some “cicchetti” (Venetian fingerfood), then head south for a proper lunch to Sestiere Dorsoduro. Here, you will find many bars and small “bacari” (typical Venice “osterie”) to enjoy something fast. I recommend a deviation to the Bacareto da Lele, a really small corner with amazing small paninis and good wine! It was my favorite bacaro during my university years and is still very popular in town by locals. Alternatively, enjoy lunch at Fondamenta delle zattere, at the southern edge of the city. Facing Giudecca Channel, it is the best place to enjoy the sun and take a long walk afterwards. Its name comes from the zattere, a la the historic rafts that were docked here to store the city’s timber. It is also the best place to enjoy an ice cream, maybe at Gelateria da Nico , loved by Penny Guggenheim and Angelina Jolie, and famous for its Gianduiotto. It’s also the best starting point for an afternoon stroll among the best shops! -Even if it’s crowded with tourists, Accademia area in Sestiere Dorsoduro has always been one of my favorites. It is really filled with culture and art and has recently become a real art-walk, thanks to the Venice Museum Mile project. Here, you can choose between contemporary art at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Punta della Dogana, historical paintings at Gallerie dell’Accademia, and many other museums and historical palaces…all within a one-mile radius! Don’t forget to visit Biennale and its collateral events between May and November! -Here, we are in the best area for some good shopping in Venice. Near Accademia, you will find some of the most original design shops in town, such as the incredible Fiorella Gallery (if you are lucky enough to find it open, as it doesn’t abide by regular hours). Within a few steps you will also find Venetia Studium, a historical shop selling wonderful fabrics, as well as the amazing — and often imitated — Fortuny Lamps. It’s very expensive, I know, but if you are a design-lover you can’t not love them! Next, head to Mercerie area, a trio of streets between Piazza San Marco and Rialto, for the most famous brands. This is the “shopping district” of Venice! -For aperitivo (appetizers) and dinner, head far from the tourist traps to Fondamenta della Misericordia, in a northern direction back to Sestiere Cannaregio. Here you will enjoy a gorgeous sunset. It is also one of the city areas where locals can relax, unwind and enjoy dinnertime. -Walk across the Judish Ghetto — one of the most fascinating places in Venice — and enjoy an aperitivo in one of the bars you will find along the Fondamenta, such as Vino Vero, a brand new spot where you can sip your wine outside around a briccole (wooden poles in the water transformed into small tables)! -In this area, there are also many good, affordable restaurants there are not too crowded. Here in fondamenta della Misericordia, you will find Paradiso Perduto, a typical Venetian restaurant founded by four students with a very spartan mood and fresh food. Five minutes from here, towards Strada Nuova, Osteria alla Vedova is another good spot. With its lovely, retro interior and its delicious polpettas, you will not be disappointed! -If you are still not tired after this day in Venice, you can head to another area of the city where university students hang out (I sure did as a student)! The spot is called Campo Santa Margherita, and it’s crowded with osterie and bars. On your way there, don’t forget to deviate towards another magical corner in Venice, Squero San Trovaso, where you will see the officina, one of the last gondola craftmakers left in town. -While this is just an overview (and maybe this day could last 48 hours, actually!), there’s plenty more great reasons to spend time in Venice… Just think, we haven’t even gotten to Piazza San Marco! -what a great guide to Venice! Bookmarking for my next visit. -Thanks – perfect timing! We are landing in Venice this June, after a Seabourn cruise through the Adriatic. Any suggestions for the best area to shop for antiques? -Wonderful suggestions :) I know Venice really well and I love (and know) about half the places you’ve mentioned – really off the beaten path and some stunning quiet corners – so now I’ve some new ones to add next time. -I would love to eat my way around Italy. Saving towards this dream trip! -The historic texture of the city is truly fascinating. -I would like to go with certainty in the summer holiday. -As a parent or caregiver, have you ever wished that you could get to the core reasons why your child is challenged with time, organization, or emotional control? -Do you KNOW your child is bright and capable, and yet disorganized notebooks, lost assignments, and anxiety surrounding tests get in the way of success? -Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could discern the difference between WON’T and CAN’T when it comes to attitude and behavior? -Did you know that what you see as defiance may actually be decreased motivation and mounted frustration that are greatly impacting a child’s perception of success? -Sign up today for this resource-packed 4 week webinar series and get to the ROOT CAUSES of your child’s challenges. -Help children achieve success by learning how to establish routines and develop strategies to eliminate endless cycles of frustration and failure.

She is the parent of a child with learning challenges, and has experienced first-hand the need for a positive, strengths-based approach to helping our children reach success! -A few weeks ago, my husband and I went to see the movie “The Imitation Game.” It is the story of Alan Turing, a British scientist, cryptanalyst, and computing pioneer, and his development of a system to crack Nazi codes in order to significantly shorten World War II. It was both fascinating and brilliantly acted. Benedict Cumberbatch’s Turing breathtakingly transports viewers to another place and time. -As we processed through the movie over dinner, my husband (an engineer himself), said ,” He was a pretty quirky guy, wasn’t he?” I shared my hunch that Turing’s portrayal was indicative of someone with Asperger’s Syndrome, reviewing the nuances that led me to that conclusion. -I became intrigued if my intuition was correct. I spent the evening diving into blogs, websites, and eventually Autism activist sites, hoping to find the opinions of others. Although the term Asperger’s was not around during Turing’s life, I found there is great debate in the Autism community about the pros and cons of posthumous diagnostics. Many were passionate about the danger of applying labels to someone who is not alive to interview or participate in the diagnostic process. Others were equally vehement about the societal advantages of adding brilliant, world-altering people into the category of those living successfully with some form of autism. Before I knew it, I’d spent several hours drawn into to the debate and reading link after link, comment after comment. -I stopped dead in my tracks. DID it really matter if Turing is considered to have been on the autism spectrum? Of course not. A posthumous diagnosis does not change who he was, the impact he had on our every day lives in terms of computer science, or his undeniable shortening of World War II. -So why had I spent hours digging, researching, reading? Yes, it was out of curiosity, diligence, and an interest in the opinions of activists within the autism community, but I have to admit, ashamedly, that is was also part of my need to make sense of a highly unusual man. It was my need to put things neatly in a box, tied with a bow. I was disappointed in myself, quite honestly. I try diligently to spend my days helping teachers, parents, children look outside of the box, to celebrate their uniqueness, to be empowered to find their own way, and yet here I was, trying to fit someone nicely and neatly into a corner, giving a label some kind of power. -Shame on me. I should know better. Honestly, we all should. -It doesn’t matter. Diagnosis don’t matter. Yes, yes, they do help us answer questions, they can certainly help us obtain services, and quite often they can help us guide interventions. But when it comes to understanding, TRULY understanding, a person, his or her traits, his qualities, her heart, a diagnostic label is a grossly insufficient way to tie things up. -Brilliant, funny, loving, tender, energetic….these are the words that matter. -Child. Father. Brother. Sister. Uncle. Son. These are the words that matter. -In the midst of our diagnosis-laden, therapy-heavy world, sometimes we need to stop, take a deep breath, and really focus on was DOES matter. It is the true heart and soul of each individual, the rare and unmatched gifts and talents we all bring to the table, that determine who we are in this world. -What a month August has been! I have had the humbling opportunity to quite literally meet with teachers, parents and administrators across the country! From a large district in Cheyenne, Wyoming to a private school is Washington, D.C., teachers and administrators have been busily preparing for a fresh year of learning. From a small adobe school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to a school for unique learners in Tulsa, Oklahoma, bulletin boards are going up, pencils are being sharpened, and fresh books are being placed on desks in anticipation of students. From a district in Lexington, Kentucky, where teachers came during their own summer days to learn about children with learning challenges to a group of motivated and profoundly dedicated home school parents in Atlanta, Georgia, the 2015-2016 school year is underway. -OUR KIDS ARE IN GOOD HANDS! -My work affords me the unique ability to view education in every form in every state. It is a rare and sacred experience for someone like me, who has never dreamed of being anything other than a teacher. -What I know is this: Our kids are in good hands! -I am blessed to spend my days with teachers: Classroom teachers, home school teachers, public school teachers and private school teachers. Teachers who wake up every morning, pushing through the fatigue and haze of sleepiness to quickly grab materials together to create the lesson that came to them in their sleep. Teachers who have gone out and developed schools to meet the needs of other children who have challenges similar to their child’s. Teachers who have given up their own careers or person goals to stay home and educate their own children, even though it means seldom having a break or a second for themselves. -Teachers are a forced with which to be reckoned!!! -Aside from a mother’s ferocious love for her children, I know of few other earthly forces as powerful as the Teaching Heart. Thousands upon thousands of men and women face every day, ready to love, nurture and educate our children. Against increasing and ceaseless odds, they demonstrate dedication, energy, creativity, passion, compassion, mastery and curiosity. They spend their own time, their own limited income, and their own emotional resources to keep children engaged, loved and moving forward. They teach our children how to read, how to add, and how to share. They teach that art is essential, music is magical, and who you are on the playground is as important as how you do in the classroom. -So let me share the good news: Our kids are in good hands! -Our diverse, expansive and often tumultuous nation is brimming over with people dedicated to the art of teaching. Nurture your child’s teachers. Be present. Be available. Ask them what they need, and then help out. Encourage and support them. When you see your child’s teacher dragging at the end of a long day, smile and say thank you. Take the time to ask you neighbor why she has chosen to home school her children, and watch as her eyes light up. Almost every teacher will tell you it’s never the children that cause them to leave the profession. It’s never their lack of love or dedication, but rather a sense of unsurmountable expectations that don’t seem to go noticed or appreciated. Show your support and appreciation. Let’s keep the good ones around. -There is life-changing power in the Teaching Heart. It is the power to move mountains, the power to love children, the power to change the world. Think about it. Pray about it. Then go nurture it. -The 4 of July. Just the thought of this holiday floods my heart and brain with precious childhood memories. I can close my eyes and instantly be transported back in time. I am a little girl in pristine Madeira, Ohio, holding my dad’s hand while we stood on the sidewalk outside the Daisy Chain gift shop and watched the parade go by. I look up at my dad, a veteran of the Korean War, as tears stream down his cheeks and his free hand is either placed over his heart or is saluting other vets marching by. I am equal parts embarrassed and impressed as his voice seems to be the loudest, boldest one singing God Bless America as the high school marching band plays. The parade is followed by a huge 20-family cookout in the cul-de-sac, complete with decorate-your-bike contests, endless hours of Kick the Can, and of course hundreds of sparklers. My memories are of what July 4 should be….a country-wide birthday party for America. -Today I still look upon the 4 of July as our nation’s birthday party, but I find myself focusing more on the concept of independence and freedom. I realize now, from the vantage of age ( and I hope wisdom), the sacrifices that went in to our ability to march in parades and watch fireworks. Though my dad never spoke of his war days, I have learned more about what he likely experienced, and the tears have a more powerful message to me. Now I am married to a veteran, and this 4 I have a nephew who is deployed. While I cherish the day to join the country in an American birthday celebration, I also am humbled and overwhelmed with the ability to pull back the curtain and see what cost this freedom and independence has been for so many. -How brave those men were 239 years ago, signing a declaration of independence from tyranny and an over-reaching government, not knowing what was ahead, but knowing with faith and conviction they could move forward. This July 4, as we enjoy grilling out and spending time with family and friends, let’s not forget the cost of freedom, and take inspiration from the visionaries that came before us! -Thank you so much to those of you who have contacted me after speaking engagements, conferences, and meetings, asking if there is a way of sharing information and updates in an ongoing manner. -I have always been a bit intimidated about the whole “blogosphere” thing, but I agree with you….there are too many cutting edge research articles, books to review, and new products that can help our kids to not get information out on a more regular basis. -SO….here it is! I will use this space to interview professionals, review products and books, and to share insights and ideas. My hope is that this will become an interactive forum where we can all share ideas and encouragement, and new ways to reach children who struggle! -Stay tuned, the first “real” blog entry is soon to follow. I look forward to visiting with you soon! -Depending on your part of the country, the new school year is only a matter of days or weeks away. -It’s the season of new action-hero backpacks, freshly sharpened pencils, the aroma of fresh crayons, and the bustling commotion back-to-school open houses. -Parents and students eagerly fill the halls, crowding around the lists hung neatly on the walls to see which class, which friends, which teachers will be part of creating the year ahead. -And also a bit terrifying. As much as hope factors into a new, unseen adventure, so does fear, especially if you are the parent of a child who learns or behaves in a slightly (or obviously) different way. For these parents, it’s often less about seeing if their son’s best friend is in the class as it is about if their son will MAKE a friend in this class. It’s less about did we get the teacher the moms at the grocery store said was the best, and more about will the teacher “get” my daughter, will she be able to see her creativity beneath her blurting out, will she understand that that IS my son’s best work, even if it appears to be hurried and scribbled. -As a parent of a struggling student myself, I know that feeling oh-too-well. As a professional who has had the privilege of ushering in new school years with hundreds of families of unique kids, I’ve shared this crazy mix of hope and caution over many tables and cups of coffee. -Without exception, what almost always happens, is we realize we are holding our breaths. We are almost afraid to dream of all the remarkable possibilities in case they don’t manifest. We are preparing for battles that most of us will never even have to fight. We are holding our breath as we armor up for the unknown. -There is a reason that breathing is a critical part of the labor and birth process. It is through the deep, focused, measured breaths that we move forward into the unknown. It prepares our brains and bodies for what is to come. It slows our heart rates and clears our minds. It allows us to be present in the moment, without interference from past or future. -You’ve got this! We’ve got this! We will take it one step at a time. Together we’ll rejoice over surprising victories, deal with frustration, and probably shed a tear or two. You won’t be doing it alone. Let’s not bring forward events of the past, and let’s not anticipate so many things that likely won’t happen. -Let’s JUST breathe! Take it one breath at a time. You’ve got this! -Useful historical information can be hard to find. It's easy to find the big facts like when was the Viking raid on Lindisfarne, or even who did what at the Battle of Hastings. -But, for the Bard and Sigurd stories, I needed to know what are they ate in medieval northern England? Lots of steak & potatoes? Not even close. Potatoes are a New World vegetable and cows were more valuable for milk. -And clothing? Doublet and Hose? (Nope, that's more rennaissance), tunic and leggings (probably), robes (for the upper classes). -Two of the more useful sites I found were unexpected. -Would you believe out-of-copyright comic books? In particular, the Robin Hood comics published by Magazine Enterprises during the 1940s and 1950s had a text section describing life in medieval times. Robin Hood is a little out of period for Bard & Sigurd, but I pulled a few snippets from these articles. -The downside of things like the Digital Comic Museum or Comic Book Plus is that you can lose a few hours (or more) to The Spirit or other classic titles. -The other fun bit of research was two books by Paul Telegdi: Learning Berserk and Unlearning Berserk. -These are stories about the life of a norse slave in the early 11th century. Telegdi went into a lot of detail about how his characters lived, what they ate, how the portages between the North Sea and Black Sea were done, etc. -The books are good historical stories and fun reads, but the gravy for me was the level of research that went into them. -And as free samples, you can't beat the price. -My research into Constantinople has led me to French Romantic painters, Assasin's Creed video game, and articles on belly dancing. -All of this is on top of the normal sorts of research like books and history websites. -I should mention that Paul Telegdi has written other books, and they are good reads. -The three events below are just a few highlights from an exciting and impressive array of events! Visit the ArtWeek website to get a full list of events in our area and beyond! -This Saturday take a sneak peak of Norman Rockwell’s last, and “best studio yet,” (opened just for ArtWeek!) before it officially debuts to the public.

Also enjoy a video portraying a day in his life, illustrating his bronze process and the lost wax method, playing at the gallery. -The Berkshire Community Land Trust has invited Sarah Waring, Executive Director of the Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE), and Matthew Derr, President of Sterling College and CAE board member, down from Hardwick VT to share their organizations’ visions.

Mr. Suarez argues “the two elections of Barack Obama may have convinced you the path to majority-minority America was going to go one way. President Trump, nativism and Charlottesville may be a signal that it’s going to be a much more complicated transition.” Mr. Suarez has over 30 years experience in the news business as a reporter for CNN and ABC, a correspondent for the PBS News hour and the host of Talk of the Nation on NPR. A longstanding member of the press corps and critically acclaimed author, Mr. Suarez has had a front row seat for decades and is now offering us a preview for what’s next.

Covering tunes from the 30s through the 70s, expect rhythm, blues, jazz and, of course, a lot of soul. -History: The Deviants (or DV8) are descendants of Team 7, the covert military strikeforce who were exposed to mutational chemical compounds by the intelligence community in order to make them superhuman. The “Gen-Factor” of superhumanity was passed on to Team 7’s children. Those children therefore become International Operations’ targets, as Team 7 had gone into hiding. Some of this children -- now in their mid-to-late teens -- were rescued by rogue I.O. chief and Team 7 man John Lynch, and became the group Gen-13. -DV8 were not. They are fully the creatures of crazed I.O. Science director Ivana Baiul. Therefore, what we’re looking at here is the antithesis of nice clean Gen-13. They stayed with IO. And they are not pleasant people. -Brought together by the deliciously amoral Ivana Baiul, the group consisted of the heat-sucker Frostbite, the animalistic Evo, the multiple-personality possessor Copycat, the brawny Powerhaus, the density-altering Sublime, and the pain/pleasure controller Bliss. This motley group of disruptive teens was led by the arrogant psionic Threshold, with the utterly insane Sideways Bob acting as the team's "keeper". The group was formed and funded by Ivana once she was excised from International Operations to act as a "spoiler force", snatching up various technology and items before other intelligence agencies could get their hands on it, and then auctioning it to the highest bidder. -Warren Ellis' opening run on the title was relentlessly nihilistic. The characters at no point seemed an amiable bunch, and with nary an altruistic gene among them. But Ellis' sharp writing and strong characterization made me interested to see if they'd discover a hint of humanity, a glimpse of promise, within themselves. For example, in the second issue Ivana sends them to investigate and possibly recruit a cult-like group of gen-active teens. When the DV8 members realize these people (with names like Virginia Dentata) are even more degenerate and twisted than themselves, they kill the lot of them - which of course was precisely what Ivana wanted in the first place. -The members slowly realize they exist to be manipulated. As one character puts it, they're "like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed crap." But it was fascinating to see how they each coped with their situation, particularly during "downtime". Sublime saves a girl from committing suicide by breaking her leg, Bliss begins a disturbing relationship with her brother Threshold, the ever-bored Evo wanders the streets seeking drugs to distract him. Not your basic "hero" behavior. -Electronic ink ain't just for readers. Samsung's Alias 2 is here, making use of a cleverly segmented display to make a mighty-morphing, e-ink keypad, which you can now get thumbing at Verizon Wireless -- right on time, no less. The price with a two-year contract is $129.99, but another $50 instant discount brings it down to a tick under $80. Go get your text on. -The first of two rounds (or maybe three) of revision of the Java Community Process specifications is reaching it's first public draft review stage this Friday at midnight. Head over to the JCP page for JSR348 to view the draft.

So I love to cook with lobster tails, its simple to work with and I don’t have to kill anything. Since lobster meat is delicate and sweet, I deviated from strong flavors but used some spices to enhance and compliment the lobster meat…. -This curry is great for those new to Indian cooking as it does not use a ton of ingredients and is relatively simple to follow. -Vada is a South Indian savory fritter made with soaked lentils and usually fried to a golden crisp. This recipe is baked with little to no oil for a healthier alternative. I used green split pea unlike the typical split chana dal (dry split chickpea) for variation. This recipe works well with chickpeas, black lentil and other legumes. -The most important step is soaking the peas till it plumps up three times their size. I soak the peas for a minimum of 12 – 24 hours to make it easier to digest. Change the soaking water every 3-4 hours, till the water is clear and free of bubbles. Add a pinch of sea salt when soaking overnight to draw out the gas which will form bubbles on top of the water. Be sure to use cold water when rinsing and soaking the peas. Changing the soaking water and adding some sea salt helps reduce bloating and uncomfortable gas associated with legumes. -In the above the picture you see the difference between dry and soaked split peas. Another advantage to soaking the peas for 12-24 hours is the peas grind smoother and cooks evenly…. -Lumpia is a fried spring roll made with minced meat and a variety of vegetables, made famous as the Filipino eggroll. Some varieties are fried with raw pork or beef, others with cooked filling. For safety reasons I like to fully cook my meat before filling the lumpias. -Lumpias uses an array of vegetables but feel free use what is on hand and personal preference. The only substitutions I wouldn’t make are garlic and red onion because they are the foundation of flavors. I used a series of colorful vegetables like sweet red bell peppers, crunchy celery, savory red onions, and crispy carrots. Soy sauce and rice wine vinegar are added to season the meat. The rice wine vinegar is mellow and sweet, great for balancing the salty bite of soy sauce. Rice wine vinegar is low in acidity, unlike other varieties of vinegars…. -Tuna wrap is an easy healthy flavorful recipe that is great for lunch or dinner. This recipe isn’t loaded with a million spices and complicated steps, it’s easy for anyone to make. -This recipe uses canned white albacore tuna. I’m not a fan of dark fish meat because it’s too musky. The albacore tuna can be quite meaty as it is canned as a portion of a tuna steak. I break it apart with my hand so it’s flaky and can evenly disperse with the vegetables. Squeeze as much water out of the tuna as you can otherwise the final dish will be watery. -The combination of vegetables used are light and flavorful. The vegetables are finely minced to speed up the cooking process and blend with the flaked tuna. The base flavor for the tuna are minced red onion, ginger, garlic and chili. The green bell pepper and celery are savory and give a slight crunch. The turmeric powder gives a depth of flavor and the chili powder gives spiciness. These spices combined give the tuna a beautiful orange hue…. -This is a healthy recipe using a whole red snapper. Seems imitating? Luckily the fish monger does most of the hard work of gutting and removing the scales of the fish. I love red snapper because of its delicate white meat. But any medium sized white fleshed fish would work just as well…. -If you’re craving a spicy hearty Indian chicken recipe that is somewhat easy…this dish is for you! -Making a paste marinade allows the spices and fresh ingredients to seep into the chicken, tenderizing it and insuring it will be succulent. Roughly chop the red onion (you can substitute with white onion), ginger, bird’s eye chilies, and crush the garlic. It makes it easier for the food processor or handheld emulsifier to grind through. I leave the curry leaves whole before I grind them, since the leaves are not fibrous. Curry leaves give the dish a distinct earthy floral flavor, mainly used in South Indian dishes. Most grocery stores carry it, but if you are out of luck, substitute with cilantro…. -This recipe is a healthy delicious vegetarian dish. If you’re not a fan of a particular vegetable, try roasting it and you might be surprised! Slowly roasting the vegetables allows any existing sugar content to caramelize. So the vegetable is left sweet, nutty, and earthy which melts in your mouth. -The combination of vegetables I used in this recipe is great, but feel free to use what you have on hand, or according to your personal preference. To make this dish more filling I used mainly root vegetables like parsnips, carrots, turnips, beets, potatoes and cauliflower. Also I added aromatic vegetables for flavor, like green bell pepper, red onion, and the garlic. All the vegetables are cut to roughly one inch pieces, to ensure even cooking…. -These baked chicken wings have the same crispiness and guilty pleasure of fried wings, but without gallons of wasted oil or exploding wing particles! -Since 1992, Discovery World Learning Center has offered an innovative, educational curriculum, encouraging each child to discover and explore new horizons.

This is one of the larger releases from the SharePoint team recently and has been a point of focus since the Virtual Summit earlier this year. I personally have been looking forward to communication sites since hearing they were coming. As the modern experience in SharePoint Online continued to expand with team sites and group sites it felt like the publishing world was being left behind. Knowing that Microsoft is not only concentrating on the collaboration world of SharePoint but also the communication world, shows the future keeps looking better. SharePoint is already the king of corporate intranets and this release will make intranets easier and hopefully much better looking using the modern experience. -What is a Communication Site in SharePoint Online? -Below is slide from one of Mark Kashman's recent slideshares about where the role of communication sites exists as compared to team sites. -The primary way to create a communication site is through the + Create Site button on the SharePoint landing page. -Once you click Create site you will now be prompted with type of site you want to create. In the past this would only allow you to create a team site. If you click create a team site the same prompt that you had prior will occur. Now we have what lies behind door number 2 which is the new communication site creation process. -After you click create communication site you get a new site creation page. This page includes some cool new areas. -Starting on the right you have your basic site name, address, and description. -The site address will auto populate but if you click the little pencil you can edit it. A good thing to notice here is that the sites are created under the /sites managed path. The site description will fill in the same site description as in classic sites. -Then as we move down we see 2 new things. We now see site classification and usage guidelines. -Interestingly enough, these are the options that are configurable within Azure AD for Office 365 Groups management. -And last but not least we have a new choose your design section on the left. -As of initial release we have 2 preset designs of Topic and Showcase and then a blank design. -I really like the idea of preset designs. I hope this is an area that will be opened up to allow new designs that you create to be added as communication site design templates. -The Topic and Showcase site designs are easy starting points to meet common needs and begin guiding page/content creation which is always a struggle for intranets. Both the Topic and the Showcase site design come preconfigured with web parts on the page. -I am not sure of the technical reason for this but if you don't have the ability to create an Office 365 Group you won't be able to create a communication site. Even though you need this permission, an Office 365 Group is NOT created. -After you clicked create, the actual process of creating the site was ridiculously fast. There is still quite a bit of work to do to personalize a site but the new web parts such as the hero and stream web part are great starting points for content delivery. -I assume this will be resolved when the new admin portal comes out. For now if you want to see a list of your communication sites you will have to use PowerShell. -There is only 1 collection of navigation for top and left. This can be edited either in a library or on a site page. You can edit directly on these pages by clicking the edit link next to navigation. -Here is some more support information for updating navigation. If you change the navigation it will be reflected on both the site pages and within the libraries and list pages. -With the release of communication sites we finally get more than single column page layouts. Personally I didn't think it was possible to create a super useful page in the modern framework without using more than 1 column so I think this is a huge improvement. This is also not just for communication sites but you can now have multi column layouts on all modern sites. -Now if you are on a communication site and want to create a new page, the easiest way is through the + New option right below top navigation. -This is the kind of flexibility we have been needing for building pages in SharePoint Online within the modern experience. -What else and what's next? -Communication sites are being rolled out to first release users and then full first release tenants. Worldwide rollout targeted for August 2017 and all of this includes the new web parts and sections layouts. -The publishing infrastructure continues to be supported. -Communication sites can support external users as long as the SharePoint site is configured to allow external sharing. -Mobile apps are being updated to support communication sites. -Join a communication sites AMA on Wednesday, June 28th 2017 from 9-10 a.m. PDT. -Call us or book online Movers in Greenfield , Minnesota. -1st Class Moving providing moving service in Greenfield, MN.

It goes like this: A business (usually a small, seemingly vulnerable one) receives a check from a buyer, usually of a big-ticket item. But suddenly there's a hitch — the buyer has mistakenly written the check for more than the correct amount. To avoid the trouble of writing another check, the buyer asks that the check be deposited and the difference wired back to them. We all know where this is going, right? The check bounces, the wire transfer is gone, the scammer is untraceable and the business owner is also responsible for bank fees. -Overpayment scams are pretty easy to avoid with just a few safeguards. There are so many warning signs with these cons that you should be able to stop things before they start. A no-check policy would instantly solve the problem, and it's also best to steer clear of wire transfers. If you must accept checks for some reason, always ask for all of the buyer's contact information and then double-check — or, better yet, deal with them in person and ask for a check from a local bank. Wait for checks to clear before you use any of the funds and, above all, never accept a check for more than the agreed-upon amount. -Call It Arson plays out of the Old Saybrook area of Connecticut, probably about an hour and a half from where I used to live. Being so close, they've become a local favorite, and rightfully so. I think they're one of the few musical acts around now that still make original music. You can tell that the individual styles of the members all contribute to the bands overall sound, which I always find interesting. They've managed to create a heavy aesthetic while retaining acoustic and folk rock elements to their songs; the harmonica and acoustic guitar are always as audible as the driving low end. Singers James Downes and Ryan White have very distinct, unique qualities to their voices that blend and mesh like they were from the same family. -They're one of the few bands in the area who are seeing some success, having shared the stage with bands like Cursive and The Appleseed Cast. On May 20th of 2008, Call It Arson released "Moth Wash: The Old Flames Seven Inch" which features a lonely two songs but comes with an MP3 download of all the files. Moth Wash is the latest of three releases since 2006, after "The Animal Strings Album" and "Call It Arson" a self titled, 10 track album. Look for Call It Arson on Kill Normal Records, alongside bands like They And The Children, Stab You In The Head and The Flaming Tsunamis. -Here are some of our first MP3 downloads on My Son Cool. These songs are great and everyone should hear them, but if you like these songs please support this band and their music. All of these CD's are available on the Kill Normal Website for cheap. -I'll be totally honest, if I had my way I'd have different songs on here but we do what we can. You might not be able to download them, but go to the Call It Arson myspace and listen to "Eliza" and "Sharpie," my two favorite songs of theirs, just take my word for it. Both songs are beautiful and haunting in their almost anthem-like composition. "Sharpie" shares the mentality of "There's A Way To Be On," being the other track from Moth Wash. -Spotting Space Launches; Prime Sites for Free Viewing. -I’m always surprised how many everyday (i.e. non-space buffs!) I meet that fail to realize that space shots are visible to millions on almost a monthly basis. It’s almost as if the space program is this exotic thing that happens in strange and remote places, far from the eyes of the general public. But the reality is that it may be easier to spy a launch than you might think, and anyone can easily see the International Space Station or the Space Shuttle with the naked eye while it’s in orbit. There are about a half dozen spaceports worldwide that see at least monthly action, but for this post, we’ll talk about the two most famous; Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the Kennedy Space Center. -Last year, we were able to attend the STS-125 launch at the KSC; prices for general admission currently go for about $38 dollars US. Viewing was from the visitor center complex grounds, and while I wouldn’t deter anyone from the experience, we were still quite some distance away! You won’t see the shuttle sitting on the pad, and it will only be visible seconds after it clears the tree-line. It’s interesting to note that while the mainstream media generally ignores the manned spaceflight program, tickets for launch viewing also tend to sell out fast. In fact, if the quick sellout of tickets for next week’s STS-132 mission are any indication, a vast counter-movement of space enthusiasts exists that isn’t being served by the mass media. In fact, STS-132 viewing tickets appeared on EBay at magnitudes above the sale price hours after the sellout!The good news is you don’t have to sell the car (or a kidney) to see a launch. Several off-site areas exist where you can spy launches. If you find yourself along the Florida space coast or in the Orlando area, I invite you to keep an eye on the sky… we can even spot launches from the backyard of Astroguyz HQ, about 100 miles to the west! What follows are some tips and advice, both official and unofficial, from readers, followers, sources and personal trial and error experiences. -The first and foremost thing you’re going to want is information. When is the next launch? SpaceFlightNow is a daily “must look at” for us; it updates launches and schedules of spaceports worldwide. Keep in mind; there are only three shuttle launches left in the program! Unmanned launches are always cool as well, and look dramatically different in appearance as their payload is generally lighter than the multi-million ton shuttle. Launches out of the Cape also tend to have a more easterly track out to sea, while shuttle launches have to match up with the International Space Station in its 51.6° degree orbit and thus follow a more northeasterly track up the U.S. seaboard. For in-the-field satellite tracking, I point you towards the outstanding stand-alone free-ware resource Orbitron; just remember to update those TLEs occasionally to assure currency. Celestrak is also another ultimate resource for data, and CALsky will even give you custom built e-mail alerts for such events as dockings, solar and lunar transits, and decaying satellites. And don’t forget to follow @Astroguyz on Twitter for the latest launch updates! -The official NASA page lists some areas of interest for off-site viewing: It also mentions that audio transmissions for amateur radio operators are at 146.94 MHz and boaters can tune to Channel 16 VHF-FM for Coast Guard instructions on restricted areas during launch. Keep in mind, boats aren’t allowed north of mile marker 15 on the Banana River, and photography from a moving boat may be tricky, though not impossible. -An interesting site complete with diagramed maps comes to us via Peter Vidani and his Space Shuttle Launch Viewing Recommendations. He notes that Port Canaveral has the optimal viewing locale for launches out of the Cape, but may be used for KSC launches as well. Parrish Park is noted as another prime site, as it is only 12 miles from launch pad 39A. Construction at the Max Brewer Bridge has, however, limited parking. He also notes that while Space View Park is wired up with an audio feed from Mission Control; arrive early, as it gets very crowded! -Veteran launch photographer Ben Cooper also echoes the above, stating that; “Space View Park is definitely a fan favorite, because it has trees and monuments and a pier…a very nice place compared to just being at the side of the road or something. (As for) Tips and tricks…get there early, earlier is always better even if it is too early, you can’t go wrong getting a good spot. Everyone arrives at different times but leaves at once, so expect major traffic jams after the launch or scrub.” Make sure you are also flexible in your viewing plans, as launches can and do frequently scrub. High profile launches, such as last year’s Hubble repair or the final up-and-coming shuttle flight draw the largest crowds, but even a run of the mill telecommunications launch can be interesting… you might even catch something unusual, such as when the Solar Dynamics Observatory “pierced” a solar halo during launch earlier this year! Mr. Cooper’s site also gives an excellent rundown of Titusville viewing areas, as well as examples of his own launch photography. -Generally speaking, a night launch will provide a better contrast against the night sky; I usually shoot a few calibration shots before launch to have some idea of what shutter speeds I can get away with; remember, digital film is cheap. My usual setup is a video camera mounted and running on a tripod and a hand held DSLR, with NASA TV running in the background. Keep in mind that NASA TV does have a time delay; you may well see the shuttle a few seconds before launch is broadcast. Dawn and dusk launches are the ultimate, such as the recent outstanding STS-131 launch. Keep an eye on the sky directly afterwards, as glowing neon clouds may be seen high in the Earth’s atmosphere. These are the results of condensation in the wake of a launch contrail, and can be equally photogenic. -- Be ready and flexible for changing light conditions; a night-time launch can quickly turn into daytime conditions. I always shoot on manual, and try to pre-focus on a bright planet or the Moon if available. -- Know your equipment: this is a basic one that’s often overlooked. Give all gear a through “shakedown” before launch day and make sure all batteries are topped off… in astrophotography, the devil frequently lurks in the details! -- Scout out a good foreground; scenery can make a good photo great. Such landmarks as the Disney castle, the Intracoastal Waterway Bridge in Ponte Vedra, palm trees, or the Moon add individuality to a shot. Check the azimuth of the launch pad against your viewing position so you know where the launch will be visible before hand; if you use the same sight frequently, note any land marks for future use. -- Finally, don’t shoot video in the vertical position! I know this from my own experience; I failed to realize during the STS-125 launch that the software wouldn’t “de-rotate” the video the same as stills. Hey we’re big enough to admit our own mistakes. -- Binocs are handy for sighting booster separations; I’ve seen the SRB detachment from a 100 miles away with our Canon IS 15x45s. -- And don’t forget those non-photography related issues; be prepared for heat, UV, and bugs in the summer; Florida nights in the winter can be surprisingly chilly. Twitter follower @Dangerbarrow ) suggests packing a lunch, arriving several hours early and viewing from Titusville on the river would a fine way to spend a launch spotting-day. -Why not view the launch from a kayak? Adventure Central offers a unique tour viewing from Mosquito Lagoon that gives you an unrestricted and unique vantage point. While not free, the $32 is a fraction of the KSC viewing price. Thanks to our friend Donna Frose teaching in Quito, Ecuador for sending this one our way! -Florida residents can also write their congress-person and request to view a launch; most elected officials in Florida recognize the value of the space industry and are thrilled to give their constituents a chance to see it in action, up close. Thanks to Ruth Arnold in Miami for bringing this to our attention. -Finally, why not join a NASAtweetup? These media events are raffled off periodically, and provide up-close access to launches and interviews with astronauts. Entry is open to anyone over 18 years of age with a Twitter account; simply follow the NASAtweetup page religiously, as event notifications frequently come and go. -And speaking of which, we here at Astroguyz are T-minus one week until departure for the STS-132 launch and the NASAtweetup! Follow this space as we track Atlantis in its final flight to the International Space Station…we promise we’ll keep the video camera in horizontal mode this time! -Editor’s Note: And for those partaking in a day tour of the KSC, check out these money saving tips from Wise Bread.com! -As EKUDA gear up for what looks to be a complete sweat-out techno party, The Waveform Transmitter’s Ashley Jade Bromilow drops some of the finer details of local DJ Alisha Lawler’s up and coming event. -Abandon Silence, one of Liverpool’s foremost dance music brands, celebrates its 8th Birthday this weekend, with Denis Sulta.

Well, nothing much; just a great idea, a few devoted professionals and, of course, funds. Helical IT Solutions seems to have them all. A company that started its operations in November 2012, it has already earned funds from an international investor and is poised to grow in a domain where growth is almost guaranteed-open source technology. -Helical IT Solutions Pvt Ltd deals with Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence (DWBI). The founders of the company, Nikhilesh Tiwari and Nitin Sahu, chose the open source way because they are sure that if there is any domain in which growth is guaranteed, it is in open source technology. The range of services provided by the company include data warehousing, data visualisation, BI, ETL (extract, transfer and load), mobile and self-services BI, geographical charting, etc. -The two bank on open source not because it is a trend, but because they have learnt and understood the pros and cons of it over the years. Their tryst with open source began in their previous jobs, which they left to start their venture. Tiwari says, “In our previous companies we were working on open source BI technologies. According to the latest report by Gartner, the Indian BI sector is growing at 16 per cent and is expected to touch US$ 113 million in 2013 and US$ 172 million by 2016. Not only in India but worldwide, BI is one sector that is growing the fastest in the IT sector. -“So we thought of moving to the next level with our company. With the recession and sluggish economies, more and more companies are trying to adopt open source technologies because of the low cost of ownership. Seeing this kind of market growth and the higher adoption of OSBI technologies, we thought of monetising this trend. This led to our searching for clients, and even before starting our company full time, we had three paying clients with us,” Tiwari adds. -Since the team was already working on different BI tools, it could easily offer consultancy to its clients regarding what would be the best tool to adopt, whether or not they ought to purchase the enterprise edition of that BI tool, etc. Hence, not only was Helical developing the client’s solution, it was also acting as a consultancy. -Having begun the journey with open source technology, both Tiwari and Sahu want to continue down that path in the future as well. Tiwari explains that the biggest benefit open source technology brings is that without any compromise on the quality, the cost of ownership is the lowest. Hence, for SMEs and start-ups that have cost constraints, but do not want to compromise on the quality, open source technology is the best choice. He asserts, “With sluggish economies in the US and EU, we are now also approaching medium-sized companies, since they want to reduce their expenses and overheads. OSBI technologies often turn out to be 70-90 per cent more cost effective as compared to their proprietary competitors like SAP, SAS, IBM Cognos, etc.” The company currently has a team of eight people and will continue to hire to meet the requirements that come with its growth. -ORG University of Vermont Title BIO Dr. H.

Naturally, we referred to the article below, titled "Inflation could hit 5% early next year, then taper off", and argued about the notion of "spending less = lower cost of living = lower standard of living?". -Mr Lim, Singapore’s Minister for Trade and Industry, commented that by spending on alternative, cheaper goods, we can effectively lower the cost of living. However, some people seem to interpret that as lowering the standard of living. -Instead of saying that “switching to cheaper products can reduce the cost of living”, Minister Lim would have been more accurate to say, “switching to cheaper products can lower the standard of living”. For example, instead of living in a 5-room HDB flat, you can live in a 1-room HDB flat (a cheaper product). Instead of having chicken rice and vegetables for lunch, you can just eat plain porridge (a cheaper product). -Living in a 1-room HDB flat and eating plain porridge constitutes a lower standard of living. So yes, by switching to cheaper products, you can lower your standard of living. And a lower standard of living does cost less to maintain. -My friend shared the perception that, by spending on (possibly) lower quality (and hence cheaper) goods, there will be less demand for the costlier goods. Given such a scenario, it is possible for the costlier goods to cost cheaper since the demand is now lowered. After all, economics is all about demand and supply – and hence Mr Lim’s advice is not entirely wrong. -He also added that, it is not possible for everyone to stop spending – so people should spend less – perhaps on cheaper products, but not entirely stop spending because the entire economy will collapse. Thus to prevent either extremes from happening – (i) goods getting costlier (ii) economy collapsing, Singaporeans have to start spending moderately so that both goals become achievable. -From the point of economics, I have to agree with his points. However, the entity that we are talking about are humans, and not robots, and so a greater amount of PR has to be injected while getting people to face reality. -Mr Lim had been infamous for his statements when he was the health minister, which includes asking the women to "save on one hairdo and use the money for breast screening", his regret in intervening to admit a premature baby to KKH to save the baby’s life because "…in the end, the baby continued to be in intensive care, and KKH now runs up a total bill of more than $300,000…", and his call to raise hospital rates to hotel rates because "if these patients (hospital overstayers) want to treat hospitals like a hotel, then they’ll have to be charged hotel rates.", of whom mostly are likely to be older than 60, with no income, or are from families with incomes below $1000. -AS CONSUMER prices continue to rise, inflation in Singapore will likely surge to 4 or 5 per cent in the first quarter of next year. -But it should taper off by the second half of the year to ‘more normal conditions’, said Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang yesterday. -The average rate for next year should be around 3 per cent. -Fuelled mainly by rising global oil and food prices, inflation recorded a 13-year high of 2.9 per cent in August. It is expected to dip to 2.7 per cent in the last quarter, Mr Lim told Parliament. -But it was his 2008 forecast that made analysts and consumers sit up yesterday. -Citigroup economist Chua Hak Bin said that the 5 per cent rate predicted would be a ‘historic high’ in the 25 years since 1983. The previous high was in July 1991, when it hit 4 per cent. -Most economies, including Singapore’s, size up inflation by tracking the Consumer Price Index, or CPI. The CPI measures the cost of a basket of goods and services consumed by most households. -Yesterday, Mr Lim cautioned against ‘interpreting a rise in the headline CPI as necessarily reflecting an increase in the cost of living’. -It depends on the individual household’s spending. ‘Switching to cheaper products can reduce the cost of living despite a rise in the CPI,’ he added. -A CPI increase may also not reflect actual hikes in consumer prices. For instance, flat prices soared, but flat owners do not pay rent. -Higher inflation, he said, should also be viewed against rapid economic growth, with the gross domestic product rising more than 6 per cent on average since 2003 and wages also on the up. -However, MPs such as Madam Halimah Yacob worry that residents, especially the elderly on fixed incomes, are feeling the pinch. ‘They go to the market with a similar sum of money. But they can buy less,’ she said. -He sketched out how the landscape will look like next year. -Explaining why there will be a spike in inflation before it plateaus, he cited two reasons: First, it is as compared to the first quarter of this year, when inflation was at 0.5 per cent and oil prices were low. -Second, the ‘one-off’ effect of the goods and services tax hike, which will be felt until next June. -Thereafter, the trend will ‘revert to more normal conditions in the second half of next year’. -The numbers come against a global backdrop of rising oil and food prices, such as more expensive chicken due to costlier feed. Adverse weather in food-supplying countries has also reduced supply, even as demand has risen. -Diversifying sources is one way to maintain more stable food prices, Mr Lim said, but there was a limit to this given the worldwide increase in food prices being seen now. -But inflation has not affected Singapore’s economic competitiveness, he said. -‘We are tracking our competitiveness position very closely and so far we are in quite a good position,’ he said, adding that inflation here was lower than in other countries. -He noted that imported inflation has been reduced because of the policy of gradually appreciating the Singapore dollar. -Other watchers suggest more aggressive measures. Citigroup’s Dr Chua, for instance, believes that the economy is in danger of overheating. -He called on the Government to re-prioritise projects, given that unemployment is already at a low. -Previous: Plans for today (like who will bother).. haha.. -There are 365 days in the year and 52 Sundays. -That leaves 313 days left in the year. What will you do with them? -Being a follower of Jesus is not a once a week thing… or perhaps twice a week if you’re super religious. God is not up there taking church attendance in Heaven as a basis for salvation or love or approval. He is looking at your heart. -God is doing wonders in the earth today – miracles and healings of every kind… I am blessed to be a small part of what He is doing. But it doesn’t come by religion, it comes by relationship with the Living God. It comes by intimacy with Jesus. -30″And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. 32And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. -I pray that things written here will give you a hunger for more and will stir up an unquenchable passion for Jesus in your heart. -Seaton Parkrun Review 11/08/18 – Too many pebbles! -Another parkrun ticked off on the list, and probably not one many people have heard of. -This week I’m on holiday in Lyme Regis, so we checked out the closest parkrun and luckily Seaton parkrun was only ten minutes in the car. -Anyway, the course, which was on the seafront ala Hastings, started on the pebble beach. For the first time in a while I tried a sprint start. Running over pebbles isn’t easy, I’ll tell you that much, and it wasn’t going to be the last I saw of them either. -As I got onto the concrete path this shorter guy flew past me. Looking at the results from last week, the winner got a time of 16:32, so I thought it could’ve been him. -There was a turning at Yacht Club at about 1.5k where we had to run on pebbles for another 100 metres, we did the loop twice so it probably knocked a bit off my time. -I liked the fact that we ran up and down the seafront four times, it allowed you to break up the race in smaller chunks rather than one long path. -I dropped my pace towards the middle but managed to pick it up again for the finishing kilometre. -I’m not sure why but I always seem to speed up after a turning, luckily for me there were a lot of them on the course, as well as volunteers who were great as usual. -In terms of my time, it’s an improvement on last week which is what I was expecting now I’m starting to train regularly again. All there is to do now is find some long run routes for the mornings here in Dorest and I’ll be pretty much sorted. -In other news, apparently my aunt saw Robbie Williams walking down by the beach earlier; a man who’s met Lawrence McKenna.

Sound off in the comments! -This article appeared in the September, 23, 2011 edition of the Davis Enterprise. -Explorit Science Center welcomes you back to its Mace Ranch Park facility for the opening of its new Forces of Nature exhibit. The exhibit opens Saturday, October 1 at 1:00pm at 3141 5th Street in Davis. -Explorit Science Center has been housed in Mace Ranch Park since 1992, but the facility itself has a much longer history. A historic home owned by the Mace Ranch Investors, the Mace Ranch House was first built in 1951 on the site of a hundred-year-old farm and cattle ranch. -The land known as Mace Ranch Park entered into written history in the mid-nineteenth century as part of a Mexican land grant. In 1850 Col. Joseph Ballinger Chiles purchased the Mace Ranch Park portion of the grant. -Chiles planted grain, raised horses and cattle and erected a two-story family home near where the Mace Ranch House stands today. That home stood until the 1950s when the current house was built. -As the Chiles family grew, the ranch was divided and diversified. Grain and horses gave way to sheep farming, and later alfalfa and sugar beets. -When the C. Bruce Mace family purchased a portion of the original Chiles ranch land, they farmed it with tomatoes, wheat and alfalfa. They built and lived in the Mace Ranch House until 1985. -Six years later, Explorit Science Center negotiated our current tenancy with the home’s owners, Mace Ranch Investors, who had purchased the property in 1981. Explorit moved in the next spring on the occasion of our tenth anniversary. -Explorit has maintained offices in Mace Ranch Park ever since. Now, on the cusp of turning 30, Explorit has returned its exhibit space to its roots in Mace Ranch Park. -The new exhibit, Forces of Nature, explores the science in the world all around us. From the principles of flight to the power of continental drift, visitors will experience the wonders of movement in our lives. -Young children will also enjoy investigating a variety of activities geared for those five and under in our Discovery Den. And no visit to Explorit would be complete without dropping in to our animal alcove to greet Connie the ball python or Blizzard the blue tongue skink. -So as Explorit comes home to Mace Ranch Park, we invite you to join us on Saturday, October 1 from 1:00-5:00pm. We will be open the first weekend of the month, Saturday and Sunday 1:00-5:00pm beginning October 1.

While the adults were talking, the young toddler wanted to speak to his mother. Almost simultaneously, both parents gave their child a non-verbal sign. They crossed their pointer fingers and middle fingers and showed the sign to their child… almost immediately, he stopped. He waited patiently for three or four minutes until the discussion was completed. At that point, the parents asked him what he wanted to say and he shared his idea while everyone listened. As I’m watching this, I’m thinking…IF ONLY!!! -My TBP has always struggled with patience, but having to wait to share his thoughts, remains one of the biggest challenges. It seems to be worse when we are driving in the car. His continued perception is that we don’t allow him any time to talk. It doesn’t seem possible to us (or our ears), but we try to check ourselves to make sure that we are actively listening in between our discussions. -Outside of the car, we have the same issue. I might be watching a show or working, and my TBP doesn’t understand why I don’t want to stop immediately to see the latest village he has made in Mine Craft. Don’t get me wrong…I adore him. Anyone that knows me, knows that he is the center of my world but… this constant need for attention and not wanting to wait is exhausting. Just today, I was putting laundry away upstairs and I heard him scream for me. I dropped the laundry, ran downstairs, and shouted his name to see what had occured. I was out of breath when I said, “Are you okay. What’s wrong?!” He said quietly, “Nothing…I just needed you.” While this sounds sweet (and I’m glad that he wants me near him) it is the interrupting and need for immediate attention that is frustrating. -We have noticed that the interrupting increases at certain times. When he is tired or hungry, he doesn’t seem to have the ability to control his impulsiveness. If school has been especially challenging or there is an activity coming up that he is anxious about, we have to be prepared for a bit more frequent check ins. Understanding and preparing for this, has been a preventive measure that we didn’t understand in years past. We also make a deliberate effort to spend 15-20 minutes a day giving him 100% of our attention (no cell phones, texting, or multi-tasking) in addition to the bedtime routine and reading. This usually is enough, but on tough days, more time might be needed. Actually on really rough days, no amount of attention seems to be enough! I’m sure many of you understand oh so well what I’m talking about here! -Interrupting is annoying to me and to others (especially those without children). The ability to wait and not interrupt, seems to be one of the most important pillars of good manners. Because of this, we continue to work on it and compliment him when he is able to wait. If you are the parent of a TBP, you know that we do not accept these controlling and manipulative behaviors sitting down. It’s just sometimes, we NEED to sit down for that moment. And then before too long, we get back up and try it again! -Google reader is dead to me. Or it will be on July 1, 2013. -My readers are numero uno. I WANT YOU TO STICK AROUND.

So it is somewhat alarming to realise that 30 minutes of exercise every day is not enough to counter-act the effects of sitting all day at work. -From a personal perspective I was quietly excited to think that there was something else that I could do for my health rather than face that run that I dread every afternoon, but from a professional perspective I realised that it would be a challenge to change the habits and expectation of what a typical office worker should do all day…….SIT. -Researchers have linked sitting for long periods of time with a number of health concerns, including obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels. -Research shows that reduced sitting could have a considerable impact on cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. -The health burden associated with insufficient physical activity is likely to far exceed the health burden of associated computer-related musculo-skeletal disorders. -Humans weren’t designed to be so immobile – just think back to our hunter-gatherer ancestors. As an Occupational Therapist I am well aware of the benefit and very proactive in my support for ergonomic chairs in the work place (and the reasons for those will fill another blog another time!) – but these ergonomic improvements are not enough to off-set the health issues associated with prolonged sitting. -So, how long should we stand at work? -This pet friendly hotel offers guests a deluxe breakfast each morning, free Wi-Fi, a business center, laundry facilities, and meeting space.

How? Skype of course! -Our Skype dog training programs will function very similarly to our more traditional private dog training programs—you'll get one-on-one, customized training sessions with one of our acclaimed trainers via Skype. All of the high-quality, thoughtful, scientifically-proven methods and love for your dog that you will find in our private programs, just in digital form. -We have been developing this concept for a while, and we have found that doing programs via Skype has some pretty great advantages! -Because there is no commute, we can get super flexible with scheduling! Now, no matter where you live you can take advantage of Tully’s Training techniques, tools, and most importantly, results! What used to be available to a select few, is now available to all. -Whether you are in San Francisco, New York, or in the middle of nowhere - we can work with you. You can reap the benefits of professional, experienced, and knowledgeable trainers who have a proven track record of giving dog owners amazing results. -Now your pup won’t even know we are there! This allows us to see how your dog is naturally behaving. Many times our clients tell us, “He is so good when you're here!” In dog training sessions via Skype, we get to see how your dog behaves as if nobody new is in the environment. -Because we don’t have to drive to your home, we can price these programs less than our traditional programs. Now, we aren’t cheap—we'll tell you that upfront. We are a premium dog training service. We give you customized training programs, one-on-one attention, and a ton of other perks that we can discuss during your free consultation. -Very similarly to any program with us, first we need some information from you. Fill out your information and make sure to specify that you are interested in Online Skype Training. -Do Skype Dog Training Sessions actually work? -Absolutely! Part of our free consultation is to determine the program that works best for you and your dog so that you see the best results in the shortest amount of time possible. Because we are essentially training the people, not the dog, Skype sessions allow us to see the problems you are having and work you through them. When necessary we can use our own dogs to show you how to work through troublesome behavior. -Why wouldn’t I use a dog trainer where I live? -You can do that! However, you found us and that’s because we are very good at what we do. We’ve been featured on Nat Geo Wild, Inspire Health Magazine, Autostraddle.com, and San Diego News 6. We've worked with hundreds of different species, at some of the top zoos and aquariums in the world. We have been mentored by some of the best animal trainers the industry has to offer. This isn’t a hobby or side job for us, like many dog trainers. This is our career. This is something we have studied, practiced, and dedicated our lives to. -You can see that in the two cities we work in we have an average Yelp rating of 4.9 stars! The trainers who helped achieve this rating are the same trainers you will be working with. We only use humane, positive reinforcement training techniques that get results. This is an opportunity to work with Los Angeles based all-star trainers without leaving your home. -Can I use Facetime or another digital platform instead? -Of course! In fact, sometimes we will ask our clients to Facetime problems that may be occurring out of site of the computer or outside of the house. This way we can “be there” and observe everything you are seeing and give you the tools necessary to combat these behavioral problems. -I am still skeptical about skype sessions. How do I know this will work? -We understand why you would be skeptical about digital dog training. This is obviously very different than the traditional dog owner-dog trainer relationship. While we can never guarantee training will work, (it all depends on your commitment and application of the tools we give you), we do have a track record that speaks for itself. If you are still skeptical, give us a chance! Sign-up for our free, no obligation, Skype consultation to see if we are a right fit for you. We will go over all your dog training goals, answer all of your questions, and prepare a customized program for you and your canine friend! At the end of the consultation if you are still not impressed, then there is no obligation! If you excited to get started, (and we are confident you will be), we can start the training right there on the spot! -Fencing – will we never learn! -This morning we were awoken by a phone call. It was to tell us that some of our sheep had gone awandering. Again. Now this shouldn’t be a huge surprise as they have been getting out recently, but I thought I’d actually found their main egress route, and blocked it. Sadly I was wrong. -Usually the escapees are the cross-bred boys, with the occasional pure bred Soay. None of the OAPs wander, I think they’re quite happy where they are thank-you-very-much. This morning the usual suspects had been joined by all the other non-OAPs, for a total of twelve wandering sheep. -We quickly jumped into the car and drove round to where they’d been spotted. We found them quickly, and I started towards them with my trusty bucket. Usually they would run towards me, but not today. They were rather spooked. I suspect that they’d met a few people out walking their dogs and this had put them in rather a fluster. Instead we did the human sheep dog thing, and soon had them heading in the right direction. They’d clearly had enough of an adventure, and were happy to be heading home. I stayed on after them, both to make sure they didn’t change their minds, and also to see where they’d got out, and within a few minutes they were all safely back in their field. -Recently their method of escape has been to jump over the fence, so I was expecting them to jump back in. Instead they seemed to walk back in without any real problems. When I got to that part of the fence I found that a whole section had come loose, and they could just walk in and out. I was rather lucky the cows hadn’t decided they needed to wander as well! -We got out the fencing supplies and went to work to fix up the fence, and we also took another look at all the other fencing to see what other weaknesses they might be exploiting. I have to admit that recently I’ve only been looking at where they have been jumping, so have been a bit lax at checking the bottom of the mesh. It looks like they’ve taken advantage of this and pushed it up in several places, and indeed that’s how they’d freed up the loose section. An hour or so later, with some judicious use of wooden beams, some random branches and a reasonable number of fencing staples, and I was relatively confident that the fencing would hold our escape committee for at least a few days. -However, I also decided that wasn’t going to be enough. Clearly those boys would continue challenging the fence, so I needed to do something about it. They’re actually due to go on holiday fairly soon, so maybe it was time to move them in with the Borerays, who happen to be occupying the pre-holiday field at the moment. So next job is going to be to move them! -Also, obviously, at some point I’m going to need to get the whole fence on the bottom field redone. Something else to look forward to. -When we acquired the Borerays we gained not only two breeding ewes and a ram, but also two whethers and an old ewe. The old ewe we dubbed ‘Duchess’ and we both became fond of her. She was a very friendly ewe, and would usually run up to us whenever she saw us, and happily eat out of our hands, the only one of the Borerays to consistently do so. -She was rather old, and over the last few days has had problems standing. She was still eating fine, but was rather weak, and needed help to get up a couple of times. This morning when I went out to feed the sheep I found her in her little hut. She wasn’t moving at all any more. I think she’d only just died. Poor duchess, but at least she had a fair innings. -Trained in a past life as a professional dancer, Tara talks with her whole self, especially about topics that make her passionate. For the past year, Tara has believed that's been the many divisions in our country, and especially her own Nashville community. A Brentwood native, Tara has struggled to understand how the very community that raised her tends to see current events so differently.

So what’s so great about maple syrup, seems just like sugar right? Maple sugar actually has 63 phytonutrients that give it antioxidant properties similar to berries, red wine and tea. Who knew?! Well I sure didn’t. This is important because antioxidants help with cleaning up damage done from regular exercise or training that happens to your muscle tissue and cells. See my post on Free Radicals vs. Antioxidants. So the antioxidants in maple sugar can actually help speed up your recovery time. Also, maple sugar can actually help your immune system to be strengthened as it contains natural electrolytes, minerals, and trace vitamins that boost your immune system. Hmmm…How about some healthy protein pancakes with that syrup?! -Makes two 16-ounce bottles. Aim to drink one per hour on the bike. If you’ll be riding for more than 90 minutes, combine with a snack to meet your energy needs (about 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour). -Note: Recipe taken from Bicycling Magazine. -To describe clinical aspects of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus-associated pneumonia in children, we studied 80 such children, including 17 (21%) with complications, who were admitted to 5 hospitals in Japan during August-November 2009 after a mean of 2.9 symptomatic days. All enrolled patients recovered (median hospitalization 6 days). Timely access to hospitals may have contributed to favorable outcomes. -The Davidson Playhouse is a perfectly located sanctuary for parents, grandparents, caregivers and their children.

It has the power to turn normally courteous and considerate people into raving lunatics with absolutely no sense of human decency. To do it well, to find gifts that will make your loved ones really feel loved, is a bit of an art that can take a lot of practice. I have some suggestions that will hopefully steer you in the right path and clear up some common misconceptions about the subject. -First and foremost, it is absolutely essential to wait until the very last minute. We all know someone who gets all their shopping done before Thanksgiving, so that they can relax (and brag) all through December. This may seem like a good idea, but I assure you it’s not. These people are not to be trusted. They are likely foreign spies or androids sent to destroy Christmas. Experienced shoppers know that the best ideas come when your back is against the wall, when you have think outside the box and really dig down to come up with that special gift. In truth, anything purchased before December 23’rd is likely to be boring and uninspired. -Another common mistake is to read Christmas lists. This is an absolute no-no. Any hack can go out and buy something off a list of things their Mother-in-Law claims she actually wants. If you want to show someone that you love them, pick up something that you think they should have, maybe even something that you’d really like for yourself. It shows that you are selfless as well as thoughtful. Your Mother in Law will greatly appreciate it and forget all about that little “incident” during Thanksgiving dinner. -Lastly, store selection is crucial. Since you should only have a few days (or hours) left before you buy a single gift, efficiency is everything. You’ll want to choose a locale that is easy to get to and carries gifts for the whole family. Malls may seem like the obvious choice, but you should resist them at all costs. By the time you park your car and safely navigate to the necessary stores, it may already be too late. My advice is to hit up your nearest Wal-Mart or comparable all-in-one store. Also, remember that gas stations often have a wide variety of gifts to choose from and are easily accessible from the highway. -Hopefully these suggestions will make your holiday a little bit easier. Christmas can be a trying time, but if you follow my advice and trust your gut, you’ll get through it. If not, there are always gift cards. -When you are getting ready to move, the last thing you need to worry about is finding a buyer for your current home.

It has 18 miles of trail cut into the hillsides. There are a number of options available to the rider depending on their experience. -One of my favorites is to ride from the Echo Valley Ski Area up the Forest Service road to the Echo Ridge Parking lot. This insures that you have earned a great downhill run through Bergman Gulch. -From the Ridge parking lot, head out to Grand Junction. At the GJ kiosk, look to your right. Between the two trails is a fun single track which takes the rider to Chaos Corner. From there head on down Alley Oop and do that loop which will bring you back to Chaos Corner. Then head up Windsinger to Grand Junction. From there head up Ridge View or go out Morning Glory to 5-Corners. Hit Little Critter. Keep your eye open for the single track taking off to the right after you have ridden most of Little Critter. This will dump you at North Junction at the beginning of the 1.9 mile Gulch. It is fast, sometimes technical and definitely dangerous if you hit a huge water bar going to fast. Your ride ends back at Echo Valley. -There are close to 20 plus miles of trails, old jammer (logging) roads, fire roads and xc ski trails open to Mountain Bikers. Pick up a map at the Chelan Ranger District located next to the Caravel Resort. -The Gulch rocks, if you have a shuttle to the top. Echo Ridge XC trails are good, plenty of different trails to ride. Plenty of jumps on the gulch and lots of different spurs off the main trail, look for them. -The "crafting" label above the 2x2 grid in the player inventory was removed because the sizing didn't work in non-English languages. -Fixed white wool/carpet appearing just as "wool" and "carpet". -"Beam Me Up" achievement works again. -Good news for elytra fliers - you can now shoot yourself with a bow and arrow (and can splash yourself with potions again, too!

-How to join or leave the Beta Testing Program? -I've started work on an autumn layout for my Seasons out of Time journal project, and it is going to involve cascades of beautiful autumn foliage falling down the pages, and I wanted it to be bright and vibrant and in shades of orange, red, brown, and yellow with hints of green maybe. I decided to combine my Dylusions ink sprays and Tim Holtz Distress spray stain to get the colours I wanted, prepare a tag as a good surface then stamp on some leaves I could later cut out and glue onto the layout once it's ready and then they'll stand out and look beautiful. This layout is called "Les Feuilles Mortes" (the dead leaves) after the 1945 song, which was re-released in English translation in the same year of course as "Autumn Leaves" - obviously because the layout is based on falling, autumn leaves. -This is by no means a complete project, just one of maybe a dozen elements that will make up this layout, but it made a beautiful autumnal colourway and I wanted to share that. -STEP 1: I first sprayed the tag in a generous coat of Lemon Zest rather than spraying it with water - the wetness will help the brighter, darker colours to blend and will fill any gaps with a beautiful yellow. -STEP 2: I sprayed Tangerine Dream and Fresh Lime over most of the tag. -STEP 3: Immediately, I switched to the Distress spray stain and added Carved Pumpkin and Vintage Photo. As you can see from the photo above, they don't all sit 'equally' on the page. The reason: Distress stains have a different density and hydrophobicity to the Dylusions products. To analogise firstly ionic strength. If you were to mix a very salty solution with pure tap water, you'll get all sorts of swirling and mixing and clear mixing lines visible in it (Schlieren as the Germans call it) - you can try it out and see - this is because one has far more salt dissolved in it and thus when it mixes with the other, they try and equal out and the salt tries to move around and equilibrate it - that's owing to both liquids having different densities - if you dissolve 200g of salt in 1,000mL water, then 1mL of that water has a mass of 1.2g (1mL water = 1g, plus the 0.2g salt in every 1mL), therefore, it has a density of 1.2g/mL - in short, they will try and equal out and you'll see mixing/swirling/etc happen, or, if they were mixed more slowly, the water will sit on top of the salt water and form separate layers. Hydrophobicity is a measure of how much something wants to adhere to surfaces and not be in a water-based solution - in this context, it's really a measure of "does this dye molecule want to be joined to paper or in solution?" - so what happens is that one of them adheres rapidly to the paper, one of them more slowly. -What does this mean in practice? It means you get amazing patterns - you get the two different products mixing slowly and naturally and producing mixes of colour in close proximity without making mud. -STEP 4: I left it without touching it at all to dry for 24h and it looked beautiful! I then stamped the open/spotty leaves stamp from the Branching Out set onto it with Wendy Vecchi's beautiful Potting Soil Archival Ink - this is an oil-based ink so it won't lift the products underneath. I didn't apply it perfectly - I wanted a rough look. When my journal pages are ready, I will cut out all the whole leaves and adhere them to the pages individually. I LOVE the colours this has produced! Every leaf is totally unique and has texture and usually 2-3 colours. I had planned to stamp with some random texture over this to add interest but I really don't need to now! -Here is all the information you need about "My Daddy is in Heaven" on American Netflix.

At some point the singer started showing off his smoking lifestyle on social media, afterall he is O.B.O. -He is Alaga of many things and weed is one of them. Meanwhile, the “Ponmile” crooner is not fond of showing off his love for weed but he is an OG in the game. -The YBNL boss is another big fan of Weed. He’s been attacked so many times for some his songs that seemed to be glorifying drugs. Apparently, baddo has been inspired many times by weed. -Yea! some element of “weedspiration” can be noticed on songs like “Wo“, “Science Student“, “Update” and lots more. Someone that can prepare an album of over 10 tracks in 48hours, if not “weed” what else do you think gives him that drive? -Meanwhile it is advisable that fans of these artistes not to follow their weed smoking lifestyle. Obviously, these artistes are celebrities with so much money to foot medical bills for any ailment that strikes them as a result of drug intake. Be warned!! -This statistic depicts the percentage variation in sales volume of manufactured tobacco in Italy during the first quarter of 2017, by product.

We have also added a list of conferences, workshops with great discounts for members and job postings at the end, so scroll down! -First of all, a hearty thanks to the new Board of the IAI for letting me write you one last time in an official capacity. Having served on the Board of Directors for four years (and president for the past two), I've been asked to highlight some of the dramatic changes the Institute has undergone since 2004. -Let me start by saying that had I not been elected to the Board in August 2004, I probably wouldn't have renewed my membership. My perception was that the Institute was an elitist club. And apparently I was elected because others saw things the same way Ð I was seen as a change agent. -Although a perception is always "true" in the eyes of the beholder, my perception back in 2004 was certainly ill-informed; our founders had set out along a difficult path Ð clearly more difficult than they had first thought. And organizational transparency, then as now, was a hot topic in the community. -Back in 2004, we had around 500 members Ð but no one was quite sure. At best, we hoped people were paying their dues. We didn't answer a lot of our e-mail because we didn't always get the mail to begin with. One thing we did know, our churn rate was dismal. In order to address these growing problems, the 2004-5 Board decided to meet weekly rather than just twice a month. We have done so ever since, which comes to just under 200 Board sessions during my tenure. -So, what have we accomplished? Plenty! -Numerous initiatives that were wishful thinking back in 2004 are now a reality. And many of our original initiatives have become full-fledged member benefits, including our job board, annual salary survey, and mentoring program. We've also helped put IA on the corporate radar. This past January, Fortune magazine published a special advertising section featuring information architecture and the Institute. Our website is better focused. A book project is in the works, too. -To help improve transparency, we now have a monthly newsletter Ð each prefaced by a letter like this from a Board member. Our Annual Report has grown to 21 pages of management discussion and financials. The past three years, we've also held live annual meetings in conjunction with the IA Summit. -Our conference, IDEA, the brainchild of past-president Peter Merholz, is now going into its third successful year. We've also awarded six progress grants to worthy research projects. We are about to announce our very own peer-reviewed journal (ETA for the first issue: March 2009). And today's members now enjoy over 45 free or discounted events each year Ð plus virtual events in Second Life. -Today, we have three paid staff members. We have over 120 active volunteers registered on Basecamp. Over 600 volunteer hours are donated to the Institute each and every week. And we answer our mail. Churn is down; we have around 2000 members in over 80 countries. That's because the IA Institute now provides more bang-for-the-buck than any other organization in the interactive arena. -Of course, our membership continues to grouse about the Institute's leadership. Thank goodness Ð perhaps this will inspire even more people to get involved. In the meantime, I'm proud of the results we've achieved these past four years. I'm honored to have served with so many talented individuals. And I'm looking forward to holding a vacation without searching for a landline each Wednesday for the weekly conference call. -The annual IA Special Issue of the ASIS&T Bulletin offers articles from some of the best presentations from this year's IA Summit.

That we must never be sad or angry or frustrated or discouraged for too long, because that would somehow be a reflection of a lack of faith. And while seeing the positive in all situations that doesn’t necessarily sound like a bad thing, let me share with you how that impacted me as I developed into an adult. -As I got older, I found myself unable to relate with people when they were hurt or angry or upset or frustrated, because I had never allowed myself to feel those things. On top of not being able to relate, I found myself feeling impatient when someone couldn’t “pull themselves up” or “see the positive”. I would spend my energy trying to convince them that everything happens for a reason and that God had plan. -Here’s the problem. It’s not very comforting when you’re in the midst of deep hurt or anger and someone tries to put a God-spin on it… when you’re feeling very REAL, VALID emotions, and someone seems to not care and instead tries to force you into a happy place. Sometimes as Christians we can be pretty lousy friends. We’ve trained ourselves to rebuke, to challenge, to resist, to persist…. but what happened to sitting quietly next to someone in pain and allowing ourselves to enter into that with them? What happened to empathy, compassion, mercy, love, kindness, gentleness, patience…? These were things that were sadly lacking in my interactions with people who were hurting. -Thankfully, God started opening my eyes to these things, and began showing me how to change the ways I interacted with those who were hurting. Instead of trying to find the solution, I let them cry, rage, vent, sit in silence, question…. All the things we may need to do in order to release what we are feeling. -However, there remained a missing link in my own story. While my response to those in pain changed significantly, internally I felt blocked off from them because I was having a difficult time relating to the feelings they were experiencing. I knew I had things in my life that should have made my angry and sad and hurt and traumatized… But I had never felt the emotion, and started to realize that wasn’t healthy. For about 27 years of my life I didn’t allow myself to feel the weight of those difficult emotions. I had it so engrained in my mind since childhood that those not-so-lovely emotions were bad, and therefore best kept hidden inside to never be seen by others. I didn’t know what it looked like to express those emotions and not feel guilty about it. -Once again, God gently showed me the ways in which ignoring my own hurt was actually unhealthy. For being someone who aims to be genuine and authentic, there was a big, gaping hole when it came to my pain. I felt guilty to say I was upset, I felt ashamed to admit I’ve had traumatic experiences in my past, and I felt fear of what people would think if they knew that alongside the deep, tremendous joy I have in Christ, there also lies mourning and sorrow for the difficult roads I’ve walked. -One of the ways God revealed this missing link in my life was through loneliness. I started feeling like I wasn’t fully known…. that my friends were only my friends based off of the good things about me, and that if they truly knew the areas I was broken that they wouldn’t see me the same way. But I came to a point where I realized that I’d rather be fully me and know that I am being the most real, authentic version of myself I can be, than continue feeling like I am not fully known. -So I began letting people in. I started introducing more difficult truth into my vocabulary. I began taking steps towards healing and freedom through counseling. -For the first time, I’ve heard friends use words like “brave” and “courageous” and “real” and “strong” and “beautiful” and I’ve believed them. You know why I’ve believed them? I believe them because they have seen me cry. Not cute, sniffly teardrops…. but full on snot-filled uncontrollable sobs that contain so much hurt and doubt and fear and shame and pain that I KNOW they have seen the true me. Boy have they seen the true me. They’ve allowed me to recount painful memories. They’ve allowed me to express intense emotions. They’ve allowed me to question. They’ve been silent when I needed a moment to process, spoken gently when I needed care, and encouraged boldly when I needed truth. -Now these moments aren’t shared with everyone. I’ve chosen who I’ve allowed myself to enter into these difficult emotions with, and in the right timing… but in those moments it’s been transformational. My eyes have been opened and as tears have fallen, a weight has been lifted and new life has been given. -As I go back to this phrase, I come to this conclusion: As we train our minds to see the good, let’s also train our minds to acknowledge the bad. We live in a fallen world, where sin and destruction are present. They affect our lives in very real ways, and ignoring them is an unhealthy way to react. -However, we are not without hope! This process of me revisiting the hurt in my life has been anything but hopeless. In fact, the further I’ve leaned in and wrestled with these things, the more I’ve seen God at work. I’ve experienced his love in entirely new depths. I’ve understood his mercy in completely new ways. I’ve relied on his gentle strength like never before. I’ve seen my vulnerability breed authenticity in relationships. I’ve felt the weight of my brokeness, but the beauty of his redemption. -We will never truly see the good if we can’t acknowledge the bad. -You see, the more I understand pain and brokenness, the more I see God. Somehow, in the midst of this chaos of life, God has shattered every human understanding of cause and effect, and redefined the good that can come from the bad. It shouldn’t make sense that as I acknowledge my hurt, I feel more joy… and yet that is exactly what God is doing in me! -So to all of this I say: embrace who you are. The ugly, messy, sinful parts, along with the beautiful, redeemed, gifted parts. Seek to be authentic, even in pain, and train your mind to know the truth of who God is and his heart to see redemption in His people. That is the good we can see in every situation, my friends. -And now I leave you with this video clip of the movie/song I named this blog post after: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Random fun fact: I used to (ok, sometimes I still do) play a version of this song transcribed for piano and it was one of my favorites to play on piano. -To pay a Bitcoin invoice, you will need a working Bitcoin wallet and some bitcoins to make the purchase. See the instructions for setting up a Bitcoin wallet on Electrum, as well as our guide on buying bitcoins with your Credit or Debit Card. -There are four ways to get the invoice Bitcoin address into your wallet: (1) manually select and copy the Bitcoin address from the CoinGate invoice to your wallet; (2) click the copy button, and paste the invoice Bitcoin address in your wallet; (3) click Pay with Bitcoin on the invoice, which will open up Electrum with the correct invoice Bitcoin address and payment value already inserted in the required fields; (4) scan the QR code with your mobile Bitcoin wallet or with Electrum. -In Electrum and other wallets, you can also include a Description, which will later remind you what you paid for. -If you are making a small purchase, the transaction will be confirmed immediately. Meanwhile, if the transaction is bigger, you may have to wait for it to be confirmed by the Bitcoin network. See the screenshots below. -Seeing either of the two windows below means that you do not need to do anything else – your Bitcoin invoice is paid! Great job – the merchant is notified and will soon process your order. -If you want to pay the Bitcoin invoice value using two or more different wallets or different Transaction IDs, rest assured – this is possible, and please see the part on underpaid orders in the following section. -Three things, really. One, you may accidentally (or purposefully) pay too little. Two, your Bitcoin invoice might expire before or after you make a transaction. Three, you can pay too much. Let us go over all of these scenarios, and what you should do if you are facing any problems. -Most likely, this is the case if you make a transaction, yet the Bitcoin invoice does not switch into confirming/paid state. In the updated invoice (see below on the left) you will see the amount of bitcoins that you sent, as well as the amount that is still left to pay (in the blue box). You should make another transaction to cover the underpaid amount before the invoice expires. -On the other hand, if the invoice expires, you will be displayed a refund form (see the next section on what to do with an expired invoice). -Nevertheless, you should not worry, because your bitcoins will reach us at some time. What you should do is monitor the CoinGate invoice status every once in a while, because the invoice form will update immediately when the transaction is broadcast to the Bitcoin network. -(2) The invoice will remain expired, but you will see your Transaction ID on the Bitcoin invoice. This means that your seller may still accept your late payment, so hold on for a little while, and contact your seller if you have not already. -That is it! These are all of the scenarios that you may face when paying our invoice with Bitcoins. We recommend sticking to Electrum to minimize the risk of expired invoices and underpayments. Refer to our guide here for setting up Electrum. And if you need to buy some bitcoins quickly, use our credit card option for purchases between USD 50 – 5,000 (click here to read our step by step guide on paying with credit / debit cards). -We hope that reading this guide has helped you understand how to pay for a CoinGate invoice with Bitcoin. If it was your first time making a transaction and you found it difficult and tiring – we assure you that the second time will be much much easier. -The post How to Pay for a Bitcoin Invoice? Step-By-Step Guide appeared first on CoinGate Blog. -helpmecleanout Great seller to deal with!

The program has progressed to such an extent that the fielding forces are preparing for operational capability. In June 2013, the United States Marine Corps and Air Force declared their intention to field early Initial Operational Capability with Block 2B software in 2015 and 2016 respectively. In support of the decision, General Amos, The Commandant of The Marine Corps, stated that it “will provide an airplane that will deliver more weapons, be more capable, be stealthier, have more capabilities, more information assurance, more information dominance, than anything we’re flying today in the United States Marine Corps”. -To understand the F-35 as it exists today, it’s valuable to examine the origins of the program. In the early 1990’s, the United States Department of Defense launched a tri-service combat aircraft recapitalisation program called the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). The intent of the program was to leverage recent major investments by the U.S. in technology, introduce true service interoperability and achieve economies of commonality and scale as legacy combat aircraft fleets were to be replaced. The ongoing U.S. National Security strategy to require coalition based operations had also revealed significant capability gaps between the equipment utilised by U.S. and allied air forces. -Component Commanders were impacted by these shortfalls and a decision was made to allow participation by selected allied nations in the development and procurement of the JSF. Seven additional NATO countries (U.K., Netherlands, Italy, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and Turkey) and key NATO partner Australia were asked by the U.S. to join the program following the contract award in October of 2001. These relationships were codified in formal bi-lateral Government to Government agreements for the initial stage. -The joint capability and industrial tenets established by the F-35 Program are a precursor to the Smart Defence Initiative embraced by the Alliance in 2012. From their public position on the topic, NATO has stated that “… the other Allies must reduce the gap with the U.S. by equipping themselves with capabilities that are deemed to be critical, deployable and sustainable, and must demonstrate political determination to achieve that goal. There must be equitable sharing of the defence burden. Smart defence is NATO’s response to this.” The world financial crisis since 2008 serves to reinforce the value, efficiency, and priority of the F-35 Program in executing this NATO initiative to confront crisis management in the immediate future. -Go deep into a double digit Surface to Air Missile (SAM) threat environment to destroy moving and mobile targets through the weather while outnumbered by advanced fighters equipped with advanced air-to-air weapons. Perform the mission from any base and at a lower cost than legacy programs. -To achieve these goals, the F-35 program pursued a more highly integrated NATO industrial base to maximise the capabilities of the Alliance. The international design and manufacturing aspects of the program, however, diverge from traditional offset mentalities, which are in comparison inefficient, costly, and historically limited to only those airplanes being purchased by that specific nation. The F-35 program introduced a new economic model based on ‘competitive best value’ where industrial concerns in each of the partner countries were allowed to compete and win work on F-35. As long as competitive cost and quality standards are maintained, the industries of the partner nations are allowed to supply parts for each aircraft produced. Significant outreach work was done by the US industry team supported by the various US agencies to help align the world class capabilities of the NATO industrial base with JSF opportunities. All eight partner countries produced parts flown on the first test airplane and continue to produce components today. -With the test fleet now surpassing 5,000 total flights, confidence in the maturity of the program is intensifying as the typical technical problems faced by a developmental program of this size have been resolved as they have arisen. While risk remains in the program, it is expected that emerging issues will continue to be solved as their predecessors were. -Significant numbers of aircraft have been produced as well. To date, 235 tails have either been delivered or are on order. The first partner country, the United Kingdom, is operating three training jets at Eglin Air Base. The second partner country, the Netherlands, has two aircraft flying that will be used for Operational Test & Evaluation. The common training facilities, established first at Eglin AFB and coming online at Luke AFB in 2013, embody the principles of NATO’s Connected Forces Initiative, providing “overarching collective training so that Allies can come together and be ready for any eventuality” and “better use of technology [as] a key means to facilitate the ability of Allied and partner forces to work together”. By 2018, 416 F-35s are projected to be delivered to NATO countries with an estimated 49 aircraft operating in Europe. -Eight of the nine F-35 partner nations are members of NATO and the aircraft will be the backbone of future air operations. The F-35 will provide capabilities throughout NATO that are currently uniquely held by the U.S. In Operations Allied Force, Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Odyssey Dawn, the denied access missions were conducted by the U.S. stealth platforms F-117 and B-2. With the F-35, the ability to penetrate advanced enemy Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) will be extended to this core function of NATO. -The coalition force has additionally relied on the EA-18G Growlers of the United States Navy to provide Electronic Attack (EA) against the SAM systems. With the F-35, high gain EA missions can be executed by multiple nations with their indigenous capability. The possession of advanced stealth and EA by a large number of NATO countries will significantly increase the effectiveness of a coalition across a wide range of crisis management operations. -Unlike its 5th generation brethren, the F-22, the F-35 was designed from the outset to bring these capabilities while also being interoperable across a coalition of air power. Two networks are core to this operability: the Link-16 and the new Multi-Function Advanced Datalink (MADL). These data links will allow the F-35 to communicate with all current and future NATO assets. The Link-16 connection is currently utilised by the existing platforms fielded by NATO and will allow F-35 to integrate seamlessly into the coalition force structure. MADL will complement the current networks with NATO’s first high bandwidth, low probability of detect and intercept connection. The fundamental design features of MADL will enable all NATO F-35s in a deployed coalition to communicate within an Anti-Access / Area Denial (A2AD) environment. -NATO operations in a permissive environment such as Afghanistan will see benefits as well from the addition of the F-35. With its impressive sensor suite, net centric design, and ability to carry more than 18,000 lbs of payload when loaded externally, the F-35 can be thought of as a 5th generation Strike Eagle: the advanced avionics of an F-22 combined with the range payload that nearly matches that of an F-15E. This allows the F-35 to shape a crisis throughout the conflict, beginning with the removal of the enemy IADS and continuing until the final day of sorties. -Without the context of the current threat environment, it can be difficult to understand the necessity of the capabilities of the F-35. Reviewing Operation Unified Protector may be the best way to understand how the F-35 will change the way NATO confronts future challenges. In support of the rebels against Gaddafi’s regime, NATO established a no-fly zone over the contested region and dramatically shifted the outcome of the nation. With only the application of airpower, NATO was able to manage the crisis without deploying large numbers of ground forces. -This relatively limited conflict required a force of greater than 160 tactical aircraft from thirteen coalition countries. The threat posed by the Libyan forces was predominantly equipment procured prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall: legacy SA-2, SA-3, SA-5, and SA-6 single digit SAM systems complimented by aging Mirage F1s, Mig-21s, and MiG-23s. The minimal threat posed by the regime in Libya will likely be encountered by NATO forces significantly less often in the future and replaced with advanced systems. -In both quantity and quality, highly advanced eastern threat systems have proliferated significantly in the world market. Today’s SAM systems are built on digital, networked sensors that can track hundreds of targets simultaneously. The engagement zone has been extended to distances exceeding 125 miles while attacking multiple targets simultaneously. Navalised versions of these same SAMs further extend the threat zone beyond the coast. -In the world fighter market, advanced 4th generation fighters are the minimal capability pursued by militaries and have become a commodity. Fighters containing electronically scanned radars, long range active missiles, infrared search and track sensors, and sophisticated jamming systems are now commonplace throughout the world. The resulting effectiveness of these threat fighters places NATO forces at parity. -The combination of advanced surface and air threats pose a real challenge to the ability of NATO’s forces to provide sufficient conventional deterrence. The threat environment will continue to become more complex and advanced as Russia and China prepare to export multiple 5th Generation platforms products on the world market. When stealth air frames become the standard capability of the air forces of the world, the threat posed by foreign militaries will shift drastically upward. -Syria is a prime example of what NATO forces might face in the future. Political concerns aside, the defence capability of the established Syrian government dwarfs that of Libya in both quantity and quality. The Syrian airforce has 2.5 times the number of fighters that were seen in Libya, among them advanced MiG-29 fighters. These fighters have to defend a country that is 1 / 10th the size of Libya. In addition, other parties may decide to support Syria with additional aircraft to further strengthen their air force. -The Syrian fighters are supplemented by a robust, dense SAM network. Compared to Libya, the Syrian IADS has more than 4 times the number of missile launchers and a missile density almost fifty times greater than the previous operation. Recent purchases of tactical double digit SAMs have reinforced their defensive posture. The potential transfer of strategic double digit SAMs would further fortify this posture. -The aggregation of the number of threat systems and their innate quality complicates the ability of any coalition of (NATO) forces to establish a no-fly zone and deter the regime. It would likely require double the number of assets deployed against Libya with no guarantee of success. This facet of the conflict has reduced the effectiveness of the political pressures. As advanced threat systems proliferate, conflicts in a high threat environment will likely become the rule instead of the exception. -The F-35 is not just set to reinvent airpower for NATO, it’s positioned to have a strong presence in the force for at least the next thirty years. Designed with power and cooling capacity that far exceeds the aircraft that it will be replacing, the F-35 will continue to provide significant opportunities for capability growth throughout its life cycle. This capacity combined with the open architecture of the F-35 will enable rapid integration of future avionics and increases in computing power. Simultaneously, the lethality of the F-35 will be improved. An existing effort to increase the carriage of AIM-120s to six in the internal bay will allow the F-35 to further extend its dominance in air-air engagements. Longer term, the development of 5th generation weapons such as Cuda will create an unmatched combination of air vehicle and air-air missile. Originally unveiled at the Air Force Technology Expo in 2012, the medium range hit-to-kill missile will expand the beyond visual range engagement zone while more than doubling the internal capacity of the F-35. It is expected that kinematic weapons of today will give way to the directed energy (DE) weapons of tomorrow, first as a defensive mechanism before potentially growing into an offensive weapon. Again, the power and cooling capacity of the F-35 could enable this transition. -To enable NATO’s essential purpose of safeguarding freedom, the members of the Alliance need to maintain a credible conventional deterrence capability. Currently, this capability is eroding due to the proliferation of advanced threats and is under increased pressure from the financial crisis. The procurement of F-35 will help to safeguard this aspect for NATO and ensure the viability of diplomatic efforts as the first measure to prevent future conflicts. Once established as the backbone of NATO airpower, the growth capabilities of the F-35 will ensure that this capability will not erode for years to come. -Here are miscellaneous pictures from the 2007 Angels Among Us annual charitable family event.

The March incident cost him a two-game suspension, but when TMZ released the video showing the act, the Ravens terminated his contract and the NFL suspended him indefinitely. -Today I captured the seriousness of domestic violence. The report from the Violence Policy Center shows that South Carolina is ranked the second worst state in the nation for violence against women. The report notes that 50 women were killed in 2012. Spartanburg County had four in 2012. The county has seen two husband-on-wife homicides so far this year and DV cases are some of the most common ones among daily incident reports here. Local leaders tell me it is a significant combination of problems that all need to be dealt with in order to change the status quo surrounding violence against women. Much of it starts with a serious culture change, they tell me. -I was baffled when a colleague of mine pointed out the Fox News morning show “Fox & Friends.” The anchors on the program somehow find a way to joke about Ray Rice knocking out his now-wife and dragging her limp body out of the elevator. -“I think the message is take the stairs,” one anchor quips. -We got right to the point during an interview today with the victim services director at SAFE Homes, a domestic violence shelter and coalition in Spartanburg County. -The gist of the interview was to hold people accountable for their actions and for society to never turn a blind eye. -My full story on the violence against women ranking in South Carolina is at goupstate.com and in Tuesday’s Spartanburg Herald-Journal. -West Brom striker Zhang Yuning is on his way to Holland for a loan spell with Den Haag in the Eredivisie. -The Chinese forward was on loan with Werder Bremen last season but managed only two substitute appearance and did not make a first-team appearance. He was originally expected to be on a two-year loan spell at the German club but after not being capable of getting a game this was cut short. -This has now led to him moving to Holland and Den Haag for a season loan. The forward originally played in Holand before signing with West Brom in 2017 for an undisclosed fee. It will then be hoped that he can find the form he showed in Holland with Vitesse that got him his move to England. -In a case am sure is complete coincidence Den Haag are owed by Chinese based company United Vansen International Sports Company. -U14 North Division 1 – Final League Placings. -The Skye Camanachd U14 side finished top of North Division 1 after an exciting 2010 season. -The Skye youngsters won their first 5 games before clinching the title with a 1-1 draw against Fort William U14 at An Aird on Saturday 20 November 2010. -Skye scored 22 goals whilst only conceding 4 goals in their 6 games to win the league for the third year in a row. -Any speed over the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 m/s, 1,087 ft/s, 761 mph or 1,225 km/h in air at sea level, is said to be supersonic. Speeds greater than 5 times the speed of sound are sometimes referred to as hypersonic. -Sound can be considered simply as a plane pressure disturbance in an elastic medium. As such sound will travel at different speeds in different mediums, mostly depending on the molecular mass and temperature of the medium in which the sound propagates; pressure has a very much smaller effect. Since air temperature and composition varies significantly with altitude, supersonic speeds for aircraft are given at sea level. In water at room temperature supersonic can be considered as any speed greater than 1,440 m/s or 4,724 ft/s. -Many modern fighter aircraft are supersonic. The Concorde and Tupolev Tu-144 were supersonic passenger aircraft. But, since Concorde's final retirement flight on November 26 2003, there are no supersonic passenger aircraft left in service. -Most modern firearm munitions are supersonic, with rifle projectile often travelling at speeds approaching Mach 3. -In 1942 the United Kingdom's Ministry of Aviation began a top secret project with the Miles Aircraft to develop the world's first aircraft capable of breaking the sound barrier. The project resulted in the development of the prototype Miles M.52 aircraft, which was designed to reach 1000 mph (1600 km/h) at 36,000 feet (11 km) in 1 minute 30 seconds. -The aircraft's design was revolutionary introducing many innovations which are still used on today's supersonic aircraft. The single most important development was the all-moving tailplane which allowed control to be maintained at supersonic speeds; this was the brainchild of Dennis Bancroft and his team at Miles Research. Unfortunately, the project was cancelled by the Director of Scientific Research, Sir Ben Lockspeiser, before any manned fights were conducted. Subsequently, on government orders, all design data and research regarding the Miles M.52 was sent to BELL aircraft in the USA. There was supposed to be data exchange in both directions, but allegedly, after receiving the British data, the American government blocked the deal. -Later experimentation on the Miles M.52 design proved that the aircraft would indeed have broken the sound barrier, with an unmanned 3/10 scale replica of the M.52 achieving Mach 1.5 in October 1948. -Chuck Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier in level flight on October 14 1947, flying the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 45,000 feet (13.7 km). -A team led by Richard Noble and driver Andy Green became the first to break the sound barrier in a land vehicle, called the Thrust SuperSonicCar, on October 15 1997, almost exactly 50 years after Yeager's flight. -Hans Guido Mutke claimed to have broken the sound barrier before Yeager, on April 9 1945 in a Messerschmitt Me 262. However, this claim is disputed by most experts and lacks a scientific foundation. -Supersonic aerodynamics are simpler than subsonic ones because the airsheets at different points along the plane doesn't know of each other. Subsonic air anticipates an airplane or an airfoil, supersonic air just jams into the shock-wave. -One can gently guide air around the fuselage of the aircraft without producing new shockwave, but any change in cross area further down the vehicle leads to shock waves along the body. -It should be kept in mind, however, that the aerodynamic principles behind a supersonic aircraft are often more complex than described above due to the fact that such an aircraft must be efficient and stable at both supersonic, transonic and subsonic flight. -This page was last modified 08:56, 23 Jun 2005. -We’re just one month away from the official start of summer, and by the looks of this cheerful yellow chevron décor, spring is in full bloom in Los Cabos! -We put together this clean, bright corporate event for a beach party at Capella Pedregal.

Ideal Home Show Christmas - London. -Boron nitride is a synthetic material that's available in several forms, including powder, solid, liquid, and aerosol spray. Most types of glass will not stick to boron nitride; as a result, the liquid and aerosol forms can be used in kiln-forming as a release on slumping molds. -Although boron nitride is much more expensive than kiln wash, it does have several advantages. Applied correctly, it is smoother than kiln wash. It's also less dusty, and may be less likely to mark the slumped glass than kiln wash. It can be used on both stainless steel and clay molds, but most formulations of boron nitride are not suitable for use on the kiln shelf. -Depending on the quality and purity, liquid boron nitride may be used as is or diluted with distilled water. It works best when diluted to the consistency of whole milk. Boron nitride aerosol sprays can be used straight out of the can, and no mixing or diluting is necessary. -In general, boron nitride is rated for kiln use only to around 1550F/840C. Some varieties of the product will claim higher rated temperatures, but usually this refers to the product's use in a reducing atmosphere, rather than in the oxidizing atmosphere typical of most kilns. -Tomorrow's tip will contain specific information about using boron nitride on slumping molds. -The Magnificent 7 Variety Show is one of the best Branson shows that features incredible singers and dancers on a musical extravaganza with the tunes of the 40s to today.

To make out a due diligence defence, your company must prove only that it made reasonable efforts to comply with the law and protect workers’ health and safety. But the courts do expect you to take all reasonable steps toward compliance—not just some steps. -> Institute a formal hazard assessment for any work or activity in the areas where asbestos was present [R. v. Della Valle]. . -The OHS laws only require companies to protect workers from reasonably foreseeable hazards. The standard for determining whether a hazard was foreseeable is not what risks the company actually did foresee but what a reasonably prudent person in the same situation would have foreseen. If a safety incident or violation was foreseeable, the company will be held liable if it didn’t take all reasonable steps to prevent the incident or violation. -Example: A backhoe operator snagged a natural gas riser, causing gas to seep into a nearby butcher shop. The shop exploded, killing two people, seriously injuring five others and causing extensive property damage. The operator was convicted of two OHS violations. The court pointed out that the operator knew the risk of working around live gas lines and the potentially serious consequences of hitting a gas line with his backhoe. So doing so was clearly a foreseeable hazard. But the operator, who had plenty of time, didn’t take reasonable steps to avoid snagging a gas line, such as carefully digging with a shovel to expose the riser. In short, the court called the operator’s actions incredibly risky and the incident “entirely foreseeable” [R. v. Riemer]. . -If a hazard was not only foreseeable but actually known to the company, failing to address it is fatal to successfully arguing that you exercised due diligence. -Example #1: During blasting for a roadway construction project, flyrock showered a nearby trailer court, destroying a shed, crashing through a trailer’s roof and forcing a tenant to run for safety. The contractor and a supervisor were convicted of OHS violations and appealed. In upholding their convictions, the court noted that they knew damage from blasting was foreseeable because a prior blast during this project had caused flyrock to reach the same trailer court, thus demonstrating what could happen if proper safety precautions weren’t followed. The practical wisdom from that prior incident should’ve “informed reasonableness and safe practice,” said the court. It added, “Past experience can be a reliable predictor of future incidents or damage” [R. v. Government of Yukon]. -Example #2: A technology company held a customer appreciation event that featured a mechanical calf roping machine operated by the company’s employees. The machine had a faulty spring. So the operator had to reach into it to manually release a hook. While a worker was doing so, he was hit in the back of the head by a steel lever and died. The appeals court pointed out that before the fatality, another worker operating the machine had been hit on the shoulder by the lever. So although the specific type of injury the worker who died suffered may not have been foreseen, the potential danger of being struck by this lever while reaching into the machine was a “reasonable prospect,” explained the court. Once this hazard was detected, a reasonable employer would have discontinued use of the machine and not permitted untrained workers to operate it. But despite being aware of the potential dangers associated with the machine, the company allowed the continued use of this equipment [R. v. XI Technologies Inc.]. . -Your company’s safety rules and procedures must be in writing. Verbal safety procedures are too easily misunderstood, which can have serious—and often fatal—consequences. Written safety procedures that spell out exactly what’s required and when are less likely to be misunderstood. As a result, courts will typically rule that due diligence requires written safety procedures. -Yes, your OHS program must include thorough, written safety rules and procedures. But that’s not enough to prove due diligence. You must also properly train workers on those rules and procedures. And that training must be adequate. -Example #1: In the Linamar case discussed above, the court ruled that the employer needed to develop not only a written policy on troubleshooting but also a related program for training workers on that policy. -Example #2: A flagger working along a highway was run over by an excavator operated by a co-worker and crushed to death. His employer was convicted of, among other things, failing to provide proper training to workers at the site. The court found that although the employer provided some instruction and training to workers, it was minimal and not to the extent required to prove due diligence [R. v. Concord Paving Ltd.]. -Providing adequate training to workers isn’t going to help you prove due diligence if you can’t demonstrate that you provided such training. So you must document the nature and extent of the training the company provides its workers. -Example #1: In the Concord Paving case discussed above, the court noted that the employer’s OHS program manual contained a form for documenting the safety courses that workers took. But at trial, it didn’t produce any such forms for the workers involved in the incident to prove that they’d taken any safety courses. -Example #2: A temporary worker for a salvage company fell approximately three metres from an opening in a wall onto a pile of pipe, suffering a broken leg and three broken ribs. The company was convicted of several safety violations. Among other factors that led to a finding of no due diligence, the court said that although the company claimed that it provided workers with a safety orientation, it had no documentation to prove that claim [R. v. Canadian Consolidated Salvage Ltd. (Clearway Recycling)]. -As important as adequate training is, you must also ensure that workers are appropriately supervised while on the job in order to prove due diligence. That’s because proper supervision is the best way to ensure workers are actually applying their training. -Example: At a bridge construction project, a safety inspector saw workers working 20 to 50 feet above the ground without adequate fall protection in the form of guardrails or handrails. In addition, the workers were attached to a horizontal lifeline that wasn’t properly engineered. The employer appealed its conviction for violating the fall protection and supervision requirements, pointing to the training it provided to workers on fall protection. But the Tribunal explained, “Training alone does not meet the requirements of due diligence, if there is not adequate supervision to ensure that the knowledge provided through training is being correctly and consistently applied” [WCAT-2012-00224]. -And the need for appropriate supervision applies to all workers—even those who are experienced. -Example: During an inspection of a residential construction project, a safety officer saw an experienced journeyman carpenter working about 18 feet above the ground without his fall protection harness attached to a lifeline. The construction company was penalized for fall protection violations, which it appealed. The Tribunal acknowledged that the carpenter had more than 20 years’ experience and was familiar with the fall protection requirements. In fact, he admitted that he should’ve attached his harness to a lifeline. But the Tribunal noted that there was no evidence that he was properly supervised to ensure he complied with these requirements. It appears that the company simply opted to rely on his experience, training and knowledge [WCAT-2012-00416]. -Companies have a duty to ensure that workers follow safety rules and procedures and comply with the OHS laws. To that end, you should take steps to convey to workers the importance of safety compliance—and the ramifications of safety infractions. For example, when workers violate safety rules, you must discipline them. -Example #1: At a residential construction site, a safety officer saw two workers, who were approximately 18 feet above the ground, not wearing fall protection harnesses. And there was no fall protection equipment on the roof. The construction company was penalized for a fall protection violation and appealed. The employer argued that it provided extensive training on fall protection requirements. But the Tribunal said the company’s training and education efforts weren’t sufficient for workers to understand the importance of complying with those requirements or the consequences of non-compliance. For example, the company didn’t implement a progressive discipline program for safety infractions until after this incident [WCAT-2011-02413]. -Example #2: A safety officer inspecting a roofing project saw a worker and supervisor on a roof about 24 feet above the ground when neither was connected to a lifeline. During an inspection of another company worksite, two workers on a roof weren’t connected to lifelines. The company was penalized for failing to comply with the fall protection requirements and provide adequate training and supervision. It appealed. The Tribunal said that although the company provided fall protection training and had a progressive discipline program for safety infractions, it knew that workers were ignoring the fall protection requirements. So it should’ve realized that its efforts weren’t preventing or deterring fall protection violations and done more, such as providing bonuses for safety compliance [WCAT-2011-02507]. -When a company is charged with a safety offence, it may try to point the finger at the workers involved, arguing that it took all reasonable steps and the workers simply disregarded safety protocol. Such an argument is unlikely to convince a court. -Example #1: In WCAT-2011-02413 discussed above, the company argued that it was the independent actions of the workers that led to the violations, saying they forgot to put their fall protection equipment back on after their lunch break. The Tribunal noted that although the workers themselves could’ve been hit with violations for their actions, their failure doesn’t relieve the company of its duties under the OHS laws. -Example #2: In Linamar, which was previously discussed, the employer argued that the worker got injured because he didn’t use a spotter as required. But the court noted that the training wasn’t clear as to the proper use of a spotter. -Because supervisors are responsible for ensuring that workers follow safety rules and comply with the OHS law, they should be held to a higher standard when it comes to safety infractions. So when a supervisor violates a safety rule, the consequences should be more severe than if a worker had committed the same infraction. -Example: In WCAT-2011-02507 mentioned above, a worker and supervisor were seen by a safety inspector not wearing fall protection equipment when required. But the Tribunal said it wasn’t apparent that the company held the supervisor more accountable for his actions than the worker, noting “the supervisor is responsible for setting an example to workers.” In fact, the employer simply gave both a verbal warning. -You must ensure that workers are supervised by actual supervisors and not leave that responsibility to their co-workers. -Example: A 22-year-old sawmill worker got caught in the pinchpoint of a canter machine and died. The sawmill was convicted of violating the supervision requirements. The Tribunal noted that the worker was young and had been on the job for less than a year. A supervisor had warned him before this incident about performing duties that weren’t his own. Under these circumstances, he should’ve been closely supervised but he wasn’t. The fact that there were experienced and knowledgeable co-workers working in the same area as this worker wasn’t a substitute for the presence of an actual supervisor. So the Tribunal concluded that the sawmill failed to satisfy its duty to provide adequate supervision [WCAT-2011-02783]. -In general, employers can’t avoid fulfilling their OHS duties by delegating them to someone else, such as a contractor or subcontractor. -Example #1: In Canadian Consolidated Salvage, previously discussed, the company argued that the prime contractor was responsible for supervising all workers—including the company’s—and complying with all safety requirements. So it had no duty to ensure the safety of its workers at that site. But the court said because the company was the injured worker’s employer under the OHS laws, it was responsible for ensuring his safety at the site. And there was no evidence that the company took “any steps whatsoever” to protect its workers. -Example #2: The contractor and supervisor in the Yukon case argued that hiring an experienced blaster relieved them of their duties under the OHS law. The court explained that the OHS law has “overlapping obligations” that mean everyone had a duty to ensure a safe blast. And there was no evidence that the contractor had a system in place to ensure that all blasting was done safely. -The same rule applies to suppliers who provide you with equipment and materials. -Example: In the XI Technologies case, the company argued that it wasn’t foreseeable that the supplier would provide it with an unsafe machine. In essence, the company assumed that the equipment would be safe to use. But the appeals court explained that the OHS law required the company, as an employer, to take reasonable steps to ensure that such equipment was, in fact, safe to operate as intended. And there were “rudimentary steps” the company could’ve taken to do so. For example, the company should’ve asked the supplier for adequate operating instructions or a demonstration of the machine’s proper use, especially considering that it was completely unfamiliar with this equipment. This relatively simple step would’ve alerted operators to the fact that the machine wasn’t working properly. But instead of getting instructions or a demonstration from the supplier, the company chose to rely on its untrained employees to figure out how to safely run the machine. -Companies must give workers the information they need to perform their jobs safely, such as MSDSs and safety signage. If that information is inaccurate, it’s almost as bad as—if not worse than—not providing the information at all. -Example: A safety officer discovered that there were stickers posted in areas on a seagoing vessel that said the areas were “asbestos-free” even though materials containing asbestos were present. In ruling that the company didn’t exercise due diligence, the Tribunal pointed out that the company couldn’t explain how inaccurate decals had been put up. And it didn’t have a system in place for double-checking or otherwise ensuring the accuracy of such signage [WCAT-2012-00145]. -Companies are composed of human beings and humans make mistakes. But courts are unlikely to buy that argument that because a safety violation was simply the product of human error, the company should be excused from liability. -Example: A safety officer inspecting a construction site found that the company hadn’t gotten an underground locate of all utility services before starting excavation work. The company’s excuse for this oversight was that it was “due to human error.” But the Tribunal rejected this excuse as non-responsive. It pointed out that “accidents are usually due to human error.” The issue here was whether the company took steps to prevent this particular human error from occurring, which it hadn’t [WCAT-2012-00070]. -Most safety violations are the result of flaws in the OHS program of a company that’s genuinely trying to comply but fell short. But if the violations are particularly egregious, say, because they’re the result of wanton disregard for safety or the failure to take simple and inexpensive steps, the company will not only get convicted but likely face an especially high fine. -Example: A truck driver was killed when a 15-metre-high wall of dirt and rock fell on him. Two companies were convicted of multiple safety violations. That two experienced construction companies could leave a sheer 50-foot wall without any shoring whatsoever was shocking, said the court. It described their conduct as “egregious and outrageous,” noting that the wall could’ve been properly supported for a relatively small amount of money. As a result, the court imposed record fines totally $2,472,500 on the companies [R. v. Perera Development Corp.]. -As explained in Part 1, there’s no formula for establishing due diligence, no checklist of steps or actions that, if taken, would guarantee a successful due diligence defence. The best you can do is learn from other companies’ experiences in safety prosecutions. The cases in which the due diligence defence failed illustrate what not to do and which omissions will undercut due diligence. The successful cases can provide a sort of blueprint or guide for the steps and actions your company should be taking. -3. Anyone charged with a violation of the OHS laws, including companies and individuals, can raise a due diligence defence. -4. The due diligence defence applies to most violations of so-called “regulatory” laws, such as OHS and environmental laws. -5. Although due diligence isn’t technically a defence to criminal negligence or “C-45” charges, proving that you exercised due diligence makes it impossible to be convicted of criminal negligence. -This week I went to the library and got the book I ordered. The book was called was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. When we got home I started reading it. I kept moving to make my position more comfortable. Mama got afternoon tea, morning tea and and a drink for me. At eleven that night I had only just finished the book. I found the book good to read and could not stop. -This recipe is from the lovely Pam Corbin who we had the pleasure of meeting to sign my preserves book at River Cottage. I’ve used this one (minus the walnuts) a few times as I’ve been lucky to be given plums and apples in the Autumn so it’s practically free! -Wash the plums, halve and stone then cook gently with orange juice until tender about 15 minutes. Push through a sieve – should make about 700 ml purée. -Put the purée into a large bowl and add all the other ingredients, except the brandy. -Mix thoroughly, then cover and leave for 12 hours. -Preheat the oven to 130 C/gas mark 1/2. -Put the mincemeat in a large baking dish and bake uncovered for 2 hours. -Seal and store in a dry, dark, cool place until Christmas and use within 12 months. -It's been an interesting few months for us which has been consumed by something called GDPR. We've been "working" on this for a while, making sure we are compliant and certain that everything we need to do is dealt with by the May 25th deadline. We spend hours, no days, working through an Impact Assessment and whilst it appeared to be an insurmountable task, it was in fact a good exercise . Revisiting processes and procedures relating to all things "data" was quite therapeutic. Considering the way we all work has changed so much over the last 20 years, it was good to take stock of email etiquette, telephone protocol, how we secure and protect data. When the impact assessment was finished, compiled after writing work flows on 30 sheets of flip chart paper, we decided it might be useful to give the Impact Assessment to GLM members and all letting agents attending our courses. -We tailored the Impact Assessment specifically for the Lettings, property management and sales processes. We mapped every single element of data collection, data use, data protection and deletion then along with privacy policies and up to date GDPR compliant documents, gave it to our clients. -We are known for being customer focused. We ensure that our clients are taken care of but the reaction to what we did was quite overwhelming and sometimes amusing- messages of thanks and gratitude flowed in; clients who were panicking felt relieved and prepared; we have received cakes, cookies, flowers, chocolates and thank you cards. We've had more new Guild members in the last quarter than ever before because of the work we have done. -Our focus was not really GDPR, it was finding a way to ease the burden for our clients and it worked. And we are so glad we did it. -Kaboodle’s U-shaped kitchens can be designed for small or large spaces. They provide plenty of storage space and surround you with benchtops on three sides, which gives you plenty of room to prepare and cook. They’re easy to install, come in a range of colours and styles and with a little bit of creativity allow you to create the perfect kitchen for your home. -If you spend any time on the web you know that today is the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11’s moon landing and the first steps of humans on the lunar surface. There’s been some great coverage from We Choose The Moon, to the live Twitter feed “replay”, to Kottke’s (now-finished) real-time TV coverage playback, to the Google graphic that actually has changed to follow the progression of the landing (and earthrise)! -The commemoration has caused me to reflect personally on the impact of the moon landing. Despite what you may have heard, the name of this blog references the upper half of the lunar lander, the stage that ascends to rendezvous with the command module for the journey home. My choice of that term came from a period of my life of intense interest in spaceflight* partially because of the sheer thrill of it, partially because of the series From The Earth To The Moon, but mostly because, at the time, I was a young project manager in a massive organization who saw in the moonshots the attempt to do something amazing with lots of smart people, cutting-edge technology, and a common goal. I didn’t want to be Neil Armstrong so much as Gene Kranz. -In the tributes, you’re not hearing a lot about the thousands of private contractors who helped plop the 12 guys on the moon. But the organization of that many people to do something of that magnitude in just a little more than 7 years may be as remarkable as the outcome. -IBM, the company that I work for, was a large part of this effort and I admit that this is a source of pride for me. I’ve had this photo of mission control taped to my cube for as long as I can remember. -These are my people. Practitioners of a timeless nerdiness that I think of often when I confront organizational bureaucracy or technical hurdles in my own job — one which ain’t, after all, rocket science. IBM has a great subsite up on our contribution to the space race. -Closer to home, I have the memory of my wife’s grandfather, William Boulet, who went to work as an engineer for Boeing after leaving the Army Air Corps after WWII (where he survived a year as a Nazi prisoner). At Boeing Grandpa Boulet designed a particular bolt that was used inside the fuselage of the Saturn V rocket and for his service he was given a commemorative medal — a keepsake I was given by his family when he passed away in 2005. I grabbed it before I left for work today. Not exactly sure why, but I felt like having it with me. -It isn’t nostalgia, of course, for I was not alive for any but the very last landing — and only a newborn then. For me, the Apollo program is equal parts inspirational and aspirational. Whether you agree with the purely political motives that set us on the course to the moon or not, my feeling is that what the effort itself represents is the very best of what humans can do when given a massive challenge packaged in a disheveled box of constraint. -We certainly have freighters full of that particular parcel today. Let’s get unwrapping. -* An interest, it should be noted, that has not so much waned as been tempered by the seeming lack of grand purpose that NASA has fallen into as an orbital trucking company. -— Joseph G. Gavin, Jr., discussing the design of the lunar module* that landed NASA astronauts on the moon. -Yeah, boss. That’s why we’re late and over budget. You don’t want to be obsolete, do you? -[*] The upper half of which is called, ahem, an ascent stage. We’re all about inspirations to innovation around here. -We can nowadays easily recognise the threat of the profit-first principle of capitalism by reading the newspapers. -Media question why TEPCO did not immediately inject seawater into the reactors in order to try to cool them. They blame the delay of the utility’s response for worsening the situation. Some reports say that TEPCO could not make an immediate decision since it knew that once seawater was poured into the reactors they could no longer be used. This illustrates the profit-first principle, the intention to keep using the reactors even after the serious accident occurred. -Also in Japan, why are many nuclear reactors located in the same place? Since it costs a lot of money and time to obtain land for a nuclear power plant, they want to build as many reactors as possible once the land is secured. So the answer is simple: to cut costs. -However, earthquakes frequently occur in Japan. It would be disastrous if a major quake hits in an area where nuclear reactors are concentrated. Of course nuclear plant promoters are aware of this, but they continue to build nuclear facilities even in earthquake zones just because they can save money that way. -Moreover, our nuclear reactors are very old. Out of the 54 reactors in this nation, 20 were built over 30 years ago. There is no set life span internationally recognised for nuclear plants, but of course, the longer they are in operation the more they are weakened by age. -One thing we know for sure is that property taxes are levied on nuclear plants for their depreciation period of 16 years. In other words, utilities do not have to pay property taxes after the 16 years of their plants’ operation. That is why they want to continue to use their facilities for as long as they can. Although all six reactors at the Fukushima No.1 plant are old, operating since the 1970s, TEPCO still hesitated to inject seawater into them. This shows how deep seated the profit-first principle is. -This profit-first policy is driving the present nuclear power industry. Successive governments have also left the entire question of people’s safety up to industry, thus what we are witnessing now in the Fukushima accident is the worst-ever case of “capitalism without rules”. We need to think about whether we can afford to keep the situation as it is or not. -The LDP is now eagerly challenging the DPJ. It is true that the Kan Cabinet is guilty of unreliable politics, but who is really to blame for the present situation? When I was a Dietmember (MP), I took up the question of nuclear power risks several times in Diet deliberations. -In the 2000s, JCP representative Yoshii Hidekatsu pointed out the concrete risks by predicting what disaster could occur at Fukushima’s nuclear reactors in the event of a major earthquake and tsunami. In his Diet questions, he called for certain measures to be taken, stating that the Fukushima plant is highly vulnerable to a disaster. -However, all the cabinets, from LDP’s Koizumi and Abe to DPJ’s Hatoyama, ignored his warning. Although the LDP is the party that had promoted the nuclear energy policy and is to blame for the present catastrophe, it is forgetting its own role and pointing their finger at the DPJ. Of course, the DPJ is irresponsible as a governing party, but the LDP should also be held responsible for the ongoing crisis. -The JCP will try its best to make a success of the current major efforts to constrain the nuclear disaster and revive the stricken area by demanding that the DPJ-led government do what we think is necessary and pointing out its neglectful and irresponsible behaviour. -Together with reconstruction-related issues, the Japanese people now have to consider other major questions. -That is, the Japanese people should squarely address the issues of nuclear energy and what energy policy to choose, and find a reasonable solution with bright prospects for a sustainable future. -In this effort the following two points are significant. -(1) As a strategic approach, we should decide to withdraw from Japan’s present energy policy dependent on nuclear power. Of course it will take a certain period of time to achieve this change. But what we need is to implement the decision now and establish a national strategy for achieving it. -(2) As an urgent near-term approach, it is essential to establish a structure to control and inspect nuclear facilities with priority on safety by clearly breaking away from “capitalism without rules” scheme created in the nuclear energy field based on the nuclear “safety myth”. -In Japan, we have plenty of nuclear scientists and engineers with no direct relations with electric power companies. We also have the Science Council of Japan, a public organisation of socially-responsible scientists. In addition, some people once involved in nuclear energy projects have recognised the collapse of the “safety myth” and are beginning to raise their voices against the blind promotion of nuclear energy. Utilising the expertise of these people, we should establish the best safety system for nuclear energy in the world to control nuclear facilities with safety truly prioritised while at the same time decommissioning the plants. -Without this system, withdrawal from nuclear power will fail to be achieved because abolishing nuclear plants involves a number of stages. After operations come to halt, spent nuclear fuel should be taken out from reactors and disposed of. Since reactors without the spent fuel still give off a significant amount of radiation, this radiation should be removed. Then the reactors have to be dismantled. Measures are also needed to dispose of decommissioned reactors and their nuclear waste. In addition, we should consider how to use the sites after the reactors are removed. These processes will take at least 20 years. And all the stages should be carried out under a strict control system placing priority on safety. -These two points – strategically deciding to break away from nuclear power generation and urgently creating a framework to control and regulate nuclear energy with a mandate and responsibility putting great significance on safety – should be discussed nationwide. In the national political arena, these two issues will probably become major topics of discussion. -By Rachele Baker, DVM – One morning this past week at the veterinary hospital where I was working as a relief veterinarian, a six-month-old Jack Russell Terrier puppy named Bitsy was brought in for diarrhea and vomiting. When I saw Bitsy’s appointment on the appointment calendar, the possibility of parvovirus infection was the first thing that came to my mind. -I went into the exam room to talk with Bitsy’s parent, Steve. Steve had just adopted Bitsy from a private party. He did not know whether Bitsy had received any vaccinations. He had just assumed that Bitsy had been vaccinated and had not requested any vaccine records from the previous owner. -I asked one of the nurses to collect a small sample of stool from Bitsy to run an in-house parvovirus test. While we were waiting for the results of the test, I examined Bitsy. She was depressed and slightly dehydrated. She had some diarrhea around her rectal area which had the characteristic foul smell of parvovirus diarrhea. Steve informed me that he had seen blood in Bitsy’s vomit and in her diarrhea. In about ten minutes, I had the parvovirus test results. Bitsy’s test was positive for parvovirus infection. -I explained to Steve that Bitsy was very sick and would need to be hospitalized with an IV (intravenous) catheter in place, IV fluids, IV antibiotics, and other medications as indicated. I told Steve that I would need to obtain a blood sample from Bitsy and run an in-house blood chemistry profile, a complete blood count (CBC), and an electrolyte panel right away. In addition, I would need to repeat those blood tests on a daily basis to monitor Bitsy’s response to treatment as well as to guide me in adjusting medications as needed. -Steve understood the seriousness of Bitsy’s disease and he agreed to my treatment recommendations. I had the nurses collect a blood sample from Bitsy for the in-house blood tests and had them place an IV catheter in Bitsy’s front leg. I started Bitsy on aggressive IV fluid therapy. -I also started Bitsy on two different IV antibiotics, an IV anti-vomiting medication, an IV stomach acid reducer, and an oral medication for stomach ulcers. The in-house bloodwork showed that Bitsy’s white blood cells were almost completely obliterated by the parvovirus. White blood cells are essential to fight and overcome infections. Bitsy was in very critical condition. I was completely invested in doing my best to help Bitsy survive and recover from her disease. -On the second day of hospitalization, Bitsy’s blood potassium level started to drop below normal levels, so I had the nurses add potassium to Bitsy’s IV fluids. Bitsy’s blood glucose level remained within normal limits even though she was not eating, so I did not need to supplement her IV fluids with dextrose. -Each day of hospitalization, Bitsy’s white blood cell numbers continued to rise until they were up into the normal range. Bitsy continued to have a small amount of diarrhea but it was no longer bloody. By the second day, although Bitsy vomited a couple of times, the vomit no longer contained blood. -On the third day of hospitalization, after Bitsy had stopped vomiting and was much more bright and alert, I asked the nurses to offer her a small amount of water in a bowl and a small amount of a highly digestible, prescription canned dog food formulated for dogs with gastrointestinal disease. Bitsy lapped up a little bit of water but showed no interest in the food. Later in the day, however, Bitsy decided that the food looked pretty good and she ate all of it. -Bitsy’s appetite continued to improve until she had quite a healthy appetite. I had the nurses offer Bitsy a small amount of the gastrointestinal diet four times a day. Bitsy was acting playful and happy by midday on the third day of hospitalization. By the fourth day, Bitsy was getting into mischief and started trying to chew her IV catheter and the IV fluid line. -I sent Bitsy home with oral antibiotics, an oral stomach acid reducer, and an oral medication for stomach ulcers. I asked Steve to bring Bitsy back in for a recheck examination in two days so that we could make sure that everything was going well. -Parvovirus is a very serious disease that can be fatal. Puppies can die from parvovirus infection even with intensive treatment. I was very happy that Bitsy responded well to treatment and that she will go on to live a normal, happy life with her new pet parent. These are the moments that are so gratifying to me as a veterinarian and that make all the hard work worthwhile. -For more information about parvovirus infection in puppies, please read my post entitled Diarrhea In Dogs and Puppies: Causes and Treatment. For vaccination protocols designed to help prevent parvovirus in puppies, please read my post entitled Vaccinations For Dogs And Cats. -Sad article with a great outcome!! Thank you. -I am glad you enjoyed my post, Cara. I love happy endings too. -What a lovely story… I am so glad you were able to save little Bitsy, Rachele. It must be such a lovely part of your job, well done. I did not know that parvovirus could be so serious in animals. -Thank you, Ali. Parvovirus is a deadly disease which can be easily prevented by making sure that puppies get all of their puppy vaccinations in a timely manner starting at 8 weeks of age. I am very happy that I was able to save Bitsy. -Thank you for sharing your story Dr. Baker. It shows how critical vaccinations are and the need to find out your pet’s medical history. -You’re right, Dee. Vaccinations protect our pets from serious diseases, so it is very important to make sure that our pets get all of their vaccinations. -I love stories that end well! So glad you saved Bitsy! Years ago, we adopted a beautiful Vizsla puppy about 6 or 7 months old from the shelter. Within a week she was deathly ill with parvo, bad enough that I said my goodbyes and was totally devastated. She too was lucky enough to have a great vet to save her life, as Bitsy was lucky to have you..thank you for being there for these animals! This story reminded me of my dog Heather. -Thank you, Jeanne, for your kind words and for sharing your story about your puppy. -So many puppies succumb to parvovirus, it’s got to be an amazing feeling to save a life. I think I would have cried for joy when Bitsy started chewing on those IV tubes. Great job, Rachele and a good reminder to get those puppy vaccinations. Thanks for sharing Bitsy’s story. -Thank you, Elaine. It certainly made me, my staff, and Bitsy’s dad happy to see Bitsy acting like a normal healthy puppy again. -Parvo is sooo very sad! As a former shelter worker- I remember how absolutely devastating it was when we received a litter of puppies with parvo. Thanks for sharing Bitsy’s story! -I’m glad you enjoyed Bitsy’s story, Kaitlin. Thanks for sharing your experience with parvo working in a shelter. -I’m glad you were able to help this puppy. Many years ago I rescued a puppy who was wandering on the street and two days later he came down with Parvo. My husband and I waited 24 nerve wrecking hours to hear the outcome from our veterinarian. Little Harry pulled through, but had some residual effects that lasted throughout his life. He was a great dog! -Thanks for sharing your experience with your dog Harry, Sharon. I’m glad that he pulled through and got to enjoy life with a loving family. -After encouraging wins over France and Serbia in their first two games in Group A, Australia faces a familiar foe on Thursday morning (AEST). -The win over Serbia meant the Boomers clinched their first 2-0 start in Olympic history, and now meet the undefeated and seemingly unbeatable USA juggernaut. -That meeting, however, won't faze Andrew Bogut and his comrades. -With five members of the Boomers squad plying their trade in the NBA, and a couple of others with previous experience in the Association, this Australian squad fears no one. -"Teams who ask the Americans to autograph their shoes are beaten before the game begins," Bogut told reporters, just after their 95-80 victory over Serbia. -"But that's not us and we think we can win." -In the lead up to Rio, the message coming out of the Boomers' camp was simple: They believe they can win gold. -"ESET researchers have been tracking the TDL4 botnet for a long time, and now we have noticed a new phase in its evolution," announced David Harley, the company's director of malware intelligence. -"Based on the analysis of its components we can say that some of those components have been rewritten from scratch (kernel-mode driver, user-mode payload) while some (specifically, some bootkit components) remain the same as in the previous versions," he noted. -TDL, also known as TDSS, is a family of rootkits characterised by complex and innovative detection evasion techniques. Back in July, malware analysts from Kaspersky Lab called TDL version 4 the most sophisticated threat in the world and estimated that the number of computers infected with it exceeds 4.5 million. -However, according to ESET's researchers, changes are now being made to the way TDL4 infects systems and ensures its hold on them. Instead of storing components within the MBR, the new variants create a hidden partition at the end of the hard disk and set it as active. -This ensures that malicious code stored on it, including a special boot loader, gets executed before the actual operating system, and that the MBR code checked by antivirus programs for unauthorised modifications remains untouched. -"The malware is able to detect corruption of the files stored in the hidden file system by calculating its CRC32 checksum and comparing it with the value stored in the file header. In the event that a file is corrupted it is removed from the file system," the ESET researchers explain. -In April, Microsoft released a Windows update that modified systems to disrupt the TDL4 infection cycle. The rootkit's authors responded half a month later with an update of their own that bypassed the patch. -Several antivirus vendors like Kaspersky, BitDefender or AVAST, offer free stand-alone tools that can remove TDSS and similar rootkits. However, in order to avoid getting infected in the first place users should install an antivirus solution that provides advanced layers of protection, like those analysing software behavior. -Robert Kubica broke his right leg in a spectacular crash Sunday near the midway point of the Canadian Grand Prix. -Kubica, a rising star of Formula One, was racing with the Toyota of Jarno Trulli and the Ferrari of Felipe Massa when he suddenly veered off course into the grass as they drove toward the hairpin. -Kubica's BMW Sauber slammed hard into the inside concrete wall, somersaulted across the track in a shower of debris, hit the outside wall and came to rest with what was left of his car on its side. -Medical personnel removed Kubica from the car and took him to the track medical facility before transferring him by helicopter to a Montreal hospital. Team officials said Kubica never lost consciousness. -GiveBIG to Northwest Folklife – Help Us Meet Our Challenge! -Visit our Seattle Foundation Profile Page on May 5, 2015 and click ‘Donate Now’, to make a donation to Northwest Folklife! -Or, just visit the ‘Donate Now‘ page directly.

The choice of brand name Chiara Bellini brings to mind the Italian character of a 100% Made in Italy product. -The Chiara Bellini Brand is destined to the medium to high-end and luxury markets, and makes his debut with a bona fide collection for the Spring Summer 2015 collection, after a first trial run in the Russian market in 2013. -“The Chiara Bellini product”, - Chiara tells us, “- is a very meticulous product from a stylistic point of view and in its details, characterized by a combination of PVC with other materials, like leather and metallic accessories. The footwear line is completed by original ‘ball-shaped’ and ‘city’ bags, which are once again made of coloured PVC. Young women and men, who love to play and be daring with fashion, are the main targets of this line, but in the collection there are also products aimed at a certain ‘continuity’. These products are meant to be worn every day, either at the seaside or in the city, and are fashion products that are very far from the classic rain boot or beach sandal proposal”. -Ethereum Classic is a smart contract platform and ecosystem for decentralized applications and distributed computing. It was born due to a chain split on the original Ethereum blockchain. When the DAO-hack occurred, where 3.6m Ether was stolen, the Ethereum community discussed what to do. -Can Ethereum Classic be mined? -What differs Ethereum Classic from other Cryptocurrencies? -How much is Ethereum Classic worth today? -Where can you buy ETC? -Can ETC be sold for cash? -The majority favored a hard fork with the purpose of rendering the stolen Ether useless, but a small minority was strictly against it. They stated that “code is law” and it would be against the spirit of decentralized systems to “turn back time” and reverse the blockchain with the help of a 51% majority. -The hard fork happened, and Ethereum abandoned the old chain. The small minority forked off of the new Ethereum and decided to continue developing the old chain. This old chain is now known as Ethereum Classic; the ticker is ETC. -In July 2016, more specifically at block 1 920 000, the hard fork was executed. After the fork, the chains were split in two and since then act individually. Ethereum Classic became a parallel blockchain, where in contrast to Ethereum the stolen funds were never returned to their owners. -Yes, it is based on Proof-of-Work (PoW). The mining algorithm is Ethash, which is a modified version of the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm. -The main points that differ Ethereum Classic from his bigger counterpart are that its maximum supply is capped and that they don’t have the massive resources and industry support like their bigger brother. -The maximum supply of ETC is 230 000 000 and the circulating supply at the time of writing is 101 442 324 ETC. -You can buy ETC on several cryptocurrency exchanges, most notably Bithump, Binance, Upbit, Huobi, and OKEx. -You can sell ETC for cash on several cryptocurrency exchanges that have fiat-pairings, most notably Bithump and Bitfinex. -The ETC team is actively working on further development and scalability of their platform. -Also, they are focussed on finding ways to integrate Ethereum Classic in the growing sector of the Internet of Things. Additionally, they work on the “Emerald Platform,” which is a set of libraries and tools for third-party application developers. -5.5/10 What I like is that ETC capped their maximum supply, this creates SoV-characteristics. The downside is that ETH has far more resources, industry contacts, and partnerships than Ethereum Classic. This could lead to ETC being tailed off. -Another negative is that the stolen coins from the DAO-hack are still accessible for the hacker on the ETH chain. He currently holds 3.36 million ETC. The Ethereum foundation is also in possession of a massive amount of ETC, although they liquidated 90% of their position which they acquired through the hard fork. But there 10% is still a big enough number to move the market. -go undetected.

Joanne Coleman Campbell, comforted his wife, Celeste, after she received news of his death. -Tom Zbyszewski, 20, the third firefighter who died, had just finished his sophomore year at Whitman College in Walla Walla and was spending his second summer with the U.S. Forest Service, where his parents also have worked. -A memorial service for all three firefighters is planned at 1p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30, in Wenatchee. -Residents evacuating from those fires to the north and the Chelan Complex fire to the south have fled to Pateros and Brewster, where the Red Cross has opened a shelter. -Most of the people currently seeking shelter at the church are from the north and came with animals that aren’t allowed at the Red Cross shelter. As of mid-day on Aug. 25, three families were in residence, but the numbers fluctuate. “In 20 minutes, I could have 50 people at the door,” Lane said. -Truitt dispatched six clergy and lay persons to Pateros last week to offer support and “simply provide a presence” until the fire chaplains could arrive. He delivered some needed supplies — underwear, toothpaste and gas cards — to the church shelter over the weekend. -Part of the anxiety, Truitt said, is that it often takes a long time to learn what has been lost or saved. “The fires are so severe and the smoke is so thick the assessors simply can’t tell them the status of their homes,” he explained. -Just a year ago, the Carlton Complex fire was the largest wildfire in state history and volunteers continue to work on long-term recovery plans. -On Aug. 23, the first two of 11 houses to be rebuilt this year were dedicated even as smoke filled the air, said Truitt, who participated in the ceremony. -“The Amish poured the foundation and framed the house and the Mennonites finished the inside with some help from the Methodists,” he wrote on the conference’s UMVIM Facebook page. -The Rev. Stanley Norman —who serves as co-chair for disaster response with the Rev. Gerri Harvill — believes the Pacific Northwest Conference is better prepared because of last year’s experience. -Money from the conference’s disaster response account was used to help fund disaster case management, with Cathy Earl of UMCOR providing training to 27 individuals last October, several of whom were hired by the long-term recovery group. “That was really an important step and we’ll probably be calling on those same case managers,” Norman said. -More than 50 percent of state residents affected by wildfires are unable to secure fire insurance and receive no federal or state funds, Norman noted, so they depend on nonprofit and faith groups for assistance. -Sheet We manufacture more transparent two way mirrors known as a beamsplitter mirrors for smart mirror TV mirror, teleprompter projects.

Who knows how many active addicts, and the people who love them, are missing out on this golden opportunity to reclaim their lives? -So I am here to tell you that I love AA, because it works. It works for me and millions of other people every single day. Yes, every single day. Because it isn’t something I’ve finished; it’s an ongoing process. It’s a whole new lifestyle. Embracing it has taken me from active addiction to recovery. -It starts with acknowledging the existence of a higher power and realizing that you don’t have to keep carrying the heavy burden of addiction all by yourself. You can turn it over to your higher power and, in turn, receive the blueprint for peace and sobriety. -One of the biggest benefits AA has to offer is that it provides you with the opportunity to share your feelings with a group of people who all “get it”. Every emotion that has isolated you fr the rest of the world at large is now being validated. -It also doesn’t matter where you are in your sobriety journey. Each person’s story is relevant to someone in attendance, whether you are still drinking or have been sober for years. It is an amazing feeling to realize that you are helping yourself and others at the same time. -Sometimes, you may have a vague feeling of unease, but you can’t pinpoint the exact cause. Then someone else shares at a meeting, and it shines a light on what you have been feeling so that you can understand it and can take the necessary steps to deal with it. -No one does the work for you nor do they try to sell you any snake oil.

You develop healthy coping methods instead of engaging in reactionary behaviors that create feelings that you want to numb with alcohol. -As you learn and apply these steps in your daily life, you create the positive feelings that come with accomplishment instead of feeling helpless and blaming your actions on others. -AA meetings are everywhere. You are not tied down in your recovery. You can continue your education, accept that new promotion that requires you to move, or travel anywhere you like to visit friends or vacation with complete confidence. -If life throws you a curve ball on a holiday or even in the middle of the night, there is always a meeting in session somewhere. A simple internet search will connect you with times and locations of meetings wherever you are. -You’ll also never meet a stranger at a meeting. We all share that special bond of understanding and unconditional acceptance. The opportunities for making new friends are endless. -AA not only helped me to break the chains of addiction. It also gave me a brand new life. What’s not to love about that? -SSS Orthotists' provide a unique approach to Orthotic Management of the foot and ankle.

McFadden didn’t want to drop his cell phone. Thus, he sacrificed his elbow to save his cell phone. -@DAVi_DiGi Gary Brown on the fall: "He was trying to keep his iPhone S, his brand new one from hitting the ground and cracked his elbow." -Assuming this is an accurate description of what took place, if McFadden actually bought an Otter Box, he might actually still be healthy. -The 28-year-old McFadden rushed for 1,089 yards in his first season with the Cowboys in 2015. As the likes of Alfred Morris and rookie runner Ezkiel Elliott threaten to steal time away (and probably a starting job) from McFadden, he picked a really bad time to keep his cell phone from hitting the deck. -We have 6 staff members working between the office and on reception. -At Sir James Clark Building, we have street level units which can be used for a shop or an office. -The land that runs between Mile End Mill and heading down towards Morrisons is privately owned by us.

He enlisted in the US Army as a Military Policeman before he graduated high school and was scheduled to leave two weeks after his high school graduation. -Suzy Lovell, a pixie at 5’1, ” began dating Jeb in the seventh grade and were high school sweethearts after Jeb gave Suzy a promise ring during their sophomore year and were expected to marry before Jeb left for the Army’s basic training at Fort McClellan Alabama. -When Jeb was in the fifth grade, he stood 5’11 and weighed 95 pounds, so he was always taller than most of his elementary school classmates, and during the summer before he went to the sixth grade, he grew an astonishing 8 inches. -Three weeks before his high school graduation Jeb signed a contract agreement to enter the US Army a week after his high school graduation. This was during the Korean Conflict. Jeb walked out of the recruitment office feeling proud and manly. He rode his bicycle into town and seeking out everyone who called him anything other than Jeb and starting physical fights. -He fought his two older twin sisters who showed him some mercy and three younger brothers, along with several close friends and enemies, who ridiculed and tormented him over the years. -These fights excited and impressed Suzy, who was overwhelmingly proud to be Jeb’s girlfriend. -You see, over the years, they talked about how Jeb should stand up to the people who called him names. For years Suzy repeatedly told him, he needed to demand the respect, he deserved. -After all of the fights, Jeb suffered some bruises but gained a sense of respect from all who lived in the small coal-mining town of 300, in Putney Kentucky. -Two days after their graduation, Jeb and Suzy, hiked along a familiar trail to view the sunset from a nearby mountaintop. For years, they have taken the hike, to see the beauty of nature, talk and most importantly to find privacy to take part in a little heavy petting. -As the sunset on the horizon silhouetting the Kentucky Mountains in colors of reds and pinks against the clouds. The two walked hand and hand along the trail towards their homes in the valley. -After several yards, they heard noises of rustling trees and the crunch of leaves coming from the wood line. -They thought it might be their friends attempting to scare them. So they yelled the names of friends they assumed were trying to frighten them. No one acknowledged as the noises continued. -Fear began swelling within them both on the darkening trail, so they held one another’s hands tighter while walking faster. -Their fear grew dreadful, as the rustling in the woods continued with Jeb’s long strides outpacing Suzy who was trying to keep up while holding his hand. Suzy could hear and feel her heart pounding, as tears streamed down her cheeks while being dragged by Jeb. -Suzy’s sweat-soaked blouse, and tears in her reddened eyes, she looked up to Jeb whispering. -Before Jeb could answer, a giant black bear, appeared fifteen yards behind them standing erect near the edge of the wood line standing two or three feet taller than Jeb. -“You better keep up.” He turned and ran, screaming “Help!” “Help!” “Help!,” towards his home. -Jeb screams were heard at his home, and soon his mother, father, brothers and twin sisters ran towards the sound of his voice. Jeb’s brothers had their shotguns, and one of the twins carried their father’s rifle. They all ran towards the trail with their flashlights furiously moving along the path ahead of them. -When the family ran upon Jeb on the trail, he was breathing so heavy, with sweat dripping from his reddened face and fear in his eyes. He was slow to explain in between breaths, that he saw a bear on the trail. -His siblings pointed their flashlights up the trail, when Jeb’s mother yelled, where is Suzy? -For several seconds, there was an awkward moment of silence, and Jeb stopped breathing when the silence was broken with Suzy’s footsteps on the trail. -The flashlights were turned towards her when she appeared, and with her pixie southern voice, she yelled. -I’m right here, Mama, Collier. -Suzy’s face was red as a summer beet. When she walked past, Jeb, her anger was seething like a thousand suns moving Jeb from where he stood. -She stopped in front of his mother and said that she was ok. The bear ran back into the woods after Jeb ran away screaming. -She turned towards Jeb and said. I do not want to speak to you until you return from your Army training with some courage, gumption, and respect for me. -She turned back around and walked away with Jeb mother, father and his siblings in tow, snickering. -When Jeb returned seven months later from his Army basic training, he begged for forgiveness and Suzy’s hand in marriage. -On the fourth day Suzy relented saying yes, and today we gather to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of my mother and father. -Thank goodness for, fright, flight, courage, and gumption, or else I would not stand here to tell this tale. -Great story! I loved it! -It was true love and courage building during military training. LOL!!! -I’d be afraid till my bones!!!!!! -As a qualified psychotherapist, I work with the client to gently explore what it is that they wish to change, whether it be something within themselves, or old patterns of behaviour that no longer serve them well in life, so that they can lead more fulfilling and productive lives. I provide a caring, non-judgemental space where the therapeutic relationship can grow and the client feels nurtured, supported and understood. -Having trained as a somatic psychotherapist, I believe that the body is an integral part of our being, and cannot be separated from the mind. From my training, I also incorporate the latest developments in neurobiology, human developmental theory, attachment theory, trauma theory, selfpsychology and intersubjectivity. I also use mindfulness-based practices. -As a member of the Australian Somatic Psychotherapy Association, I am committed to undertaking ongoing personal and professional development, including regular clinical supervision of my work. I practice in accordance with the stringent ethical guidelines of this association. -I have been assisting people on their personal journeys of self-tranformation, with a variety of issues for the past 8 years, with wonderful results. I have also been a high school teacher for over 30 years and with empathy and compassion, have enabled many students to be the best that they can be and to transform the quality of their lives. -For many years as a high school teacher, I worked with students who did the best that they could with what their life experiences had dealt them, with students who struggled to achieve their full potential. Many of these students had been labelled as troublemakers who impeded the progress of others in the classroom and therefore needed to be (and were) punished for not conforming or behaving. I felt some frustration that in schools, because time and resources are limited, I was not able to help such students as much as I would have liked. -I noticed a huge difference in one particular student who had been labelled as ‘a troublemaker’, after I spent some time really listening to him, rather than reacting to his behaviour. He opened up and eventually became a ‘model student’ who went on, not only to achieve excellent academic results, but also, after seeing a therapist, dealt with his issues and went on to become a wonderful husband and father. -I felt motivated to spend time working as a volunteer, supporting people work through their issues on personal development courses, and during this time, felt a driving passion to retire from full-time teaching so that I could become a therapist. -My training as a Somatic Psychotherapist involved a thorough grounding in a mixture of the best established psychotherapeutic theories, from roots in Freudian psychology, through the many different movements that evolved over the years, as well as the fruits of cutting-edge research into psychotherapy and human development, and neurobiology. -I have been influenced by a number of approaches, beginning with Kohut’s concept of empathic attunement (Selfpsychology ), including infant and child development theory, the enormous contribution of John Bowlby and others in Attachment Theory and Intersubjectivity Theory. I am particularly excited by the new developments in neurobiology, particularly as it relates to trauma and neglect and evidence that people’s brains can be rewired within the therapist-client relationship. -As a Contemporary Somatic Psychotherapist, I embrace a comprehensive approach to personal growth and development which acknowledges that all facets of human experience are interrelated i.e. that the processes of the body/mind not only affect and reflect each other, but are actually inter-functioning aspects of a person's whole being. Each person's individual history, their cultural/biological context and bodily-based subjective reality are all inextricably intertwined. -I also integrate mindfulness practices in to my daily life and in my work as a therapist. -I am particularly interested in the neurobiology of trauma and development and how they impact on the organisation of the brain and subsequently on the organisation of an individual’s experience. I feel that it is immensely important to have an understanding of trauma and its impact, in order to work with traumatised individuals. Longer term and more lasting healing of traumatised individuals have been recently seen as resulting from the laying down of new neural pathways, achieved from repeated new experiences in therapy, in contrast to treatment in the medical model which pathologises and medicates. -The work on infant and child development, including Attachment Theory, and how the brain is affected by neglect, continues to fascinate me, particularly in the context of neurobiology, and how through therapy, healing can be achieved when stages of development which were interrupted in the life-cycle can be reinstated. -As a Somatic Psychotherapist, I believe in a holistic approach, that the mind and body are integrated. I work within a broadly humanistic and psychodynamic framework that is inclusive of the body, where the relationship between the client and myself is developed and valued, taking in to account each of our experiences and with a particular focus on what is happening in the present moment. Because we embody our experience, somatic cues as well as verbal information provided by the client are observed and when necessary, used to give feedback to the client, so that together, we can gently explore what is happening for the client, while the client experiences being supported in this process. -For many people, anxiety and depression are the result of the stresses of a busy lifestyle, where too much is expected of them (by themselves and/or others) and they have lost the ability to self-regulate. Medication is not always the answer, sometimes all that is needed is empathic listening and empathic attunement, so that the client feels safe and can just be, without having to do anything, where they can be listened to, without judgement, and feel understood. This in turn can lead to better self-regulation and the implementation of more successful coping mechanisms. The client then can then, armed with an awareness of what they need to change as well as support, face difficulties and overcome obstacles, so that they can make different choices and thereby have the life that they desire and deserve. -Some clients choose to have Bio-dynamic massage, which is a deeply nurturing experience in its own right, where the emphasis is on soothing the nervous system. This is entirely the client’s choice to work in this way. -Progress will of course vary from client to client, depending on the client’s experience, history, their level of awareness and current circumstance. It can be very slow and extremely subtle, often out of awareness. For some, huge progress may consist of picking up the phone and making that first appointment, then in turning up, then in coming back and continuing in spite of the temptations not to do so. Facing one’s fears and expressing them (either verbally or somatically), then facing them and attempting different coping strategies for difficulties/issues are all examples of significant progress which may be dismissed or minimalised or even overlooked. -I personally feel that the client starts to feel that progress is being made when they truly feel (even out of awareness) that they are heard, understood and accepted, unconditionally and without judgement. This may be a feeling (such as relief, or a sense of trust or of being held or supported), rather than something that can be verbalised, or it can be a bodily experience, such as a deep sigh, or tears. Understanding may come later as to why, but this is something for the client and therapist to gently explore together. -Therapy has made me a better person because it has allowed me to embrace all parts of my self, including the parts that I learnt at an early age to suppress or disavow. It provided a safe place where I felt understood and supported, which in turn led me to want to explore the rationale behind the behaviours and relationships that I was choosing in my life, which invariably were not helpful in attaining the joy that was my birthright. Through a development of my understanding, I was able to further develop my self-reflective and relational capacities. -In becoming more accepting of myself, I am able to empathise with others and to practice non-judgement, be a better listener, as well as provide support for others without losing myself in the process. I am able to ask for and accept support, and see self-care as being a necessity rather than an indulgence. -As a young child, I learnt at an early age that approval from my parents through being a high achiever was paramount to my sense of well-being. Like many, I became a driven by perfectionism, which later in life, invariably led to frustration, because that perfection could not be achieved. Through therapy, I have come to accept and like who I am, warts and all, and no longer needing to seek validation of my self-worth from external sources, but from within. I am able to have more choice in my life. I am grateful for so much more, and as a result, can allow myself to experience a fuller range of emotions and feelings, and to see that as healthy. -I am able to experience each day with whatever it brings, acknowledging the past without regrets, and looking forward to whatever may arise in the future, learning from each experience, whilst remaining true to myself and to my values and beliefs. -What I love most is that a client trusts me enough to take that courageous leap of faith to change something in their life that is not working for them, and allow me to support them on their journey to enhance the quality of their life. I feel very humbled and privileged to be able to do the work that I do and to see clients gradually become empowered to lead more satisfying lives. -It is extremely rewarding to be able to work together to change patterns of behaviour that are not helpful, to have the client experience an increase in their self-esteem, to provide tools and the practice of using those tools so that they can have a different experience, which will lead to the realisation that they have the potential to achieve so much more from their lives. -It is truly heart-warming to see a client feeling safe enough to allow themselves to be vulnerable, to work through difficulties and fears together, to make the brave decision to work more deeply and then to see them come through the other side, having more choice in their lives. In addition, I learn so much more about myself and grow from time spent with each client. -Yes, of course I do. I am, after all, a human being, with all of the fallibilities, vulnerabilities and weaknesses (and strengths) that are part of the human condition. I am also a product of my past experiences and the relationships that have shaped me, and can be, and am, triggered by events that occur, often outside of my awareness. I am fortunate in that I have had training, have done lots of self-development work, engage in mindfulness practices such as meditation, and have ongoing therapy, so that I can deal with my bad hair days in ways that serve me better. -Part of my success in dealing with bad hair days is acceptance that they do (and will) happen, rather than trying to disavow them, or wish that they didn’t happen, or worse still, blaming myself. Awareness of why they happen can be helpful (although not always necessary), although I personally find that awareness of how I react is more useful to me in order to change how I handle similar situations should they arise again (and not surprising, they do!). Asking for and accepting help, something that I used to struggle with, help tremendously too. Spending time in the company of like-minded people also provides ongoing support. -The other key factor for me in handling bad hair days is to connect with nature, such as taking a walk along the beach, spending time playing with my cat, or spending time in my vegie patch with my chooks, for engaging with my environment gives me ‘the bigger picture’ perspective. Having gratitude for my life, my health and the people in it helps me cope with those ‘bad hair’ days. -I think that the most significant problem that we face stems from a lack of harmony, imbalance with our planet, imbalance with each other, and imbalance within ourselves. Many people on this planet are struggling with obesity, whilst many others are dying from starvation. People are killing each other and destroying the planet. There is an inequitable distribution of wealth, success in many places is measured by how much wealth one can acquire in a lifetime, rather than on how humanely or compassionately one lives. -This causes a lot of stress in people’s lives as they feel that they cannot live up to the expectations that they, and others, place on themselves, and this leads in turn, to imbalance. From this stance, for many, it is difficult to feel gratitude or compassion, to extend kindness or to be non-judgemental with others, let alone with oneself. -Many people are more reactive than proactive and change is difficult. It is often difficult for people to communicate honestly and openly about what is going on for them, when it is not safe to do so or when unaware of what is going on internally. When one does not feel good about oneself, it is often difficult to really feel good about anything else, let alone have compassion for others, and so on the cycle continues. -It is important to break the cycle, by providing a safe, non-judgemental space, where a person can feel supported and begin to restore their self-esteem, so that they can begin to restore balance within themselves, then in turn in their lives and within their environment. Sadly, for many people on this planet, their world IS a dangerous place where their very existence is indeed under threat. -There are many books, films, songs, events and works of art that have inspired me and on a daily basis, new ones that inspire me. I am also constantly inspired by people, many of whom would not consider themselves to be inspirational, who are struggling to eke out an existence, overcoming adversity and who exhibit incredible courage battling illness and difficult challenges that life throws them. -Perhaps the most significant piece of writing that inspired me, was one of my textbooks from my training, Robert Karen’s “Becoming Attached - First Relationships and How They Shape the Capacity to Love” (1988). -The title of this book unseated a deep inexplicable fear in me, which manifested itself in a reluctance to even open the cover of the book, followed by procrastination over reading it. Once I forced myself to read it (I had to, as it was compulsory reading as part of my training), I began to gain an understanding of what my fear was about and to work through it. The book provides an excellent summary of the history of Attachment Theory and the significant impact of early attachment history on a person’s ability throughout life, not only to love, but to handle difficulties or even crises in their lives. -Good Buzz Kombucha is a healthful addition to your daily wellness routine, providing micronutrients, active enzymes and organic acids in a refreshing low-sweetness fizzy soft drink.

The solution? Stripes! -The team found that gold nanoparticles coated with alternating bands of two different kinds of molecules can quickly pass into cells without harming them, while those randomly coated with the same materials cannot. The research was reported in a recent advance online publication of Nature Materials. -“We’ve created the first fully synthetic material that can pass through a cell membrane without rupturing it, and we’ve found that order on the nanometer scale is necessary to provide this property,” said Francesco Stellacci, an associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and co-leader of the work with Darrell Irvine, the Eugene Bell Career Development Associate Professor of Tissue Engineering. -Nanoparticles hold a lot of promise, especially for their cancer-targeting abilities. -All Church of England dioceses use the National Society's framework for the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005.

It's Growing. -Google can't stop buying robotics companies. In the past two months, eight of the 12 companies the search giant has acquired have "robotics" in their name or descriptions. Here's your complete breakdown of the robot army presently at Google's command. -As stated in the midst of its buying spree, the company's largely letting its new robotics divisions continue to work on their preexisting projects, and why wouldn't they? The newly acquired companies are doing a damn good job. They're even winning competitions. -Robot technology would help with self-driving cars, certainly, but the range of these acquisitions hints at even broader ambitions. Again, we don't know much. They're all a part of the Google X division, which is top secret by definition. We do know what the new companies in the Google family are up to, though, and that might offer us some clues. -These guys are rockstars. The Japanese team that got its start at Tokyo University just took the top prize at DARPA's Robotics Challenge Trial thanks to the cunning and agility of its 5-foot, 5-inch, 209-pound bipedal robot. After being purchased by Google in early December 2013, Schaft's blue machine proved to be the best at walking on uneven terrain, climbing ladders, clearing debris, and connecting hoses, ultimately scoring an impressive 27 out of 32 possible points. -The company was originally founded to build disaster response robots after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 but has since broadened its scope, thanks in part to funding from the U.S. government. Who knows how far they'll go floating on Google's coffers? -Industrial Perceptions, Inc., is an imaging company that spun off of the Menlo Park robotics company Willow Garage. Before being acquired by Google in December—the day after the Schaft acquisition, in fact—IPI was focusing on building advanced technology for 3D vision-guided robots to be used in manufacturing and logistics. This includes the ability to see and sort different objects, say, in a factory. You could imagine a company like Amazon being very interested in this kind of technology, but it's so far unclear exactly what Google wants to do with it. -Redwood Robotics started as a joint venture between Meka Robotics, SRI International, and Willow Garage, IPI's parent. And like IPI, it's always had a very focused mission. Redwood wants to build the "next generation arm" for robots. Meka Robotics founder Aaron Edsinger once said that he wants to do for robotic arms what the Apple II did for computers. Specifically, Redwood wants to build robotic arms that can work alongside people even in the comfort of their own home. That also means being the common arm manufacturer of service robots, so in the future, everybody's personal robot could have Redwood arms. Well, make that Google arms. -Like its cousin, Redwood Robotics, Meka is dedicated to building robots that can live and work with human beings. The company describes its flagship model, the M1 Mobile Manipulator, as having "human-safe, human-soft, and human scale robot technologies that will enable the robots of tomorrow to work alongside people in the home and the workplace." The human-like faces on the robot can even emote, a feature that's as creepy as you let it be. -Even before joining Google, Holomini was a pretty secretive outfit. All we really know from its now shuttered website is the company describes itself as "Creators of high-tech wheels for omnidirectional motion." The image above is just a stock photo guesstimate of what a "high-tech wheel for omnidirectional motion" might look like. -If Redwood and IPI are the engineers in the family, Bot & Dolly are the artists. The company describes itself as "a design and engineering studio that specializes in automation, robotics, and filmmaking" with a mission "to advance motion control and automation as a creative medium." In reality, this means that Bot and & Dolly use robots to help film commercials and movies like Gravity. This doesn't mean that Google wants to get into the movie business, but hey, if a robot's good enough to make a movie, what else can it do? -Boston Dynamics is the real celebrity of the bunch. After acquiring six robotics companies in six days, Google took a couple of days off before announcing this major acquisition. The company is known for building all kinds of futuristic bots from the bipedal, humanoid robot Atlas (above) to the impossibly fast, four-legged Cheetah. Actually, Boston Dynamics brings a whole robot army to Google, one that the military is very eager to recruit. -Google's latest purchase is less interested in building an actual robot than in designing an intelligent robot brain. The self-described "cutting edge artificial intelligence company" that uses "the best techniques from machine learning and systems neuroscience to build powerful general-purpose learning algorithms: comes with a team of 75 researchers and software engineers whose talents could be put to use on anything from the hypothetical Googlebot to the company's flagship search engine and anything in between. Because after all, robots are just another step in Google becoming the company that is everywhere, and does everything. -Archive from category "Wills,Trusts & Taxation" -Your executor carries out (or executes) the wishes set out in your will and choosing the right person or persons is an important decision.

It's a conflict that has intensified in recent years as ride-hail services have clogged roads, New Yorkers have had more of their purchases delivered, and the streetscape has been remade with bicycle lanes, pedestrian malls and restrictions on parking and unloading. -The city "has whittled away at the commercial parking infrastructure," said Thorpe, the chief executive of the New York Trucking and Delivery Association, which he founded in 2004 to deal with parking issues for small and midsize businesses. -At the same time, trucks are making more deliveries than ever, and they must do that regardless of whether there's unloading space available. "Trucking is not a 'choice' situation," Thorpe said. "It's a necessity." -But now the 600 members of his group, as well as large fleet operators such as UPS and FedEx, are facing higher fines—and possibly more paperwork and time in traffic court—as a little-known yet controversial city policy comes under fire. The stipulated-fine program was established in 2004 by the Department of Finance to let businesses pay slightly reduced fines—and no fines at all for some infractions—in exchange for not contesting their tickets. -It was mainly a way to reduce everyone's administrative costs while having delivery companies pay roughly what they would have otherwise. (The reductions were calculated with an eye on the percentage of tickets that were successfully challenged.) But the program was a sore point with advocacy groups such as Transportation Alternatives, which considered it a corporate giveaway that neutered traffic enforcement. -Last month, in a bid at leveling the playing field for businesses not in the program—and furthering the city's congestion-reduction goals—the Finance Department announced that next month it would raise the program's fines, including those now set at zero. -As if that were not bad enough for Thorpe's membership, in the same week five City Council members introduced a bill to abolish the program. They denounced it as a free pass to large corporations and a contributor to reckless parking and congestion. -Thorpe says it's the council bill that's a giveaway—to parking-ticket brokers, who stand to gain business adjudicating tickets. He sees no way that the Finance Department's plan will change driver behavior or have any impact on congestion. -"The theory of the program was there are bad things, good things and some things in between, and it taught the driver you're going to pay a lot to do bad things and little or none to do the others," Thorpe said. "Now they've put the bad and good closer together, removing the driver's incentive for doing the good, because it's going to cost just a little more to do the bad." -In fact, good and bad parking behavior will not be punished that similarly. The most serious violations that get discounts, such as obstructing traffic ($10 off the $115 total), will now get no break at all, while many of the zero-fine infractions will cost $25. -But Thorpe says those increases could cost some of his members hundreds of dollars a week—enough that he would consider taking them out of the program. The $35 fine for double parking outside Midtown is still better than the official $115, but he notes that double parking is legal for the first 30 minutes, and enforcement is not always scrupulous. -In 2011 he sued the city, which for some years had been slapping double-parked delivery trucks with the more expensive violation of blocking a travel lane, which carried a $40 fine. In 2016 the city settled and paid those covered by the lawsuit $14 million. -Even so, the Finance Department, which worked with the Department of Transportation on the new fine schedule, says more needs to be done to ease congestion. The agency says the stipulated-fine program has been sending the wrong signal to the wider parking universe by not reflecting the fact that not all double-parking tickets are dismissed. -"We need the program to have incentives that are aligned with the city's goals to reduce congestion, and we need the program to be fair," said Finance Deputy Commissioner Jeffrey Shear. "We agree that the conversation about congestion is a larger conversation, and there are many other factors, and this program is one small piece. But we don't want to send the wrong message by saying double parking outside of Midtown will cost businesses nothing." -The Transportation Department maintains that it is doing all it can. -The agency is "committed to improving commercial accessibility throughout the five boroughs, especially in the context of our street-improvement projects," a spokeswoman said. As part of those projects, "new curb regulations are installed that are complementary to the larger curb-management goals of the corridor, such as faster bus mobility, reduction of double parking, and better commercial access." -But the Transportation Department is aware that it's a long way from curing congestion when demand for deliveries from myriad e-commerce businesses, including Amazon and Fresh Direct, is bigger than ever. -"Consumer demands and the amount of available space we have at the curb, they're at odds right now," Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg said at a Crain's breakfast forum last month. She added that parking enforcement can only do so much, and larger fixes, including congestion pricing and technology such as license-plate readers, might be part of the answer. -"Right now the demand for the curb exceeds the supply," she said. -Some members of the City Council are not convinced that higher fines will make the program more effective. They say any solution will include abolishing stipulated fines. -"This program doesn't work," said Costa Constantinides, a City Council member from Queens, who introduced the bill to end the program as one of several parking and transportation proposals. "Trucks are still parking in bike lanes. It's been around for years, and I really feel it's prohibiting us from having a real conversation around parking that we desperately need to have." -As part of that conversation, the councilman introduced a bill that would require the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, which oversees city agencies, to have buildings under its jurisdiction receive deliveries between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. -"The city should lead by example," Constantinides said. -That's not so simple, it turns out. A Transportation Department off-hours delivery program proved unworkable for many businesses, some of which had to add employees to accept the shipments. The councilman said his program would be "one part of the puzzle." -As it happens, parking-ticket broker Glen Bolofsky has contributed more than $4,000 to Constantinides' campaign treasury in the past five years. A spokesman for the councilman dismissed the idea that the bill was intended to help brokers. -"The majority of those that benefit from this [stipulated-fine] program are big-box delivery corporations who flout traffic laws at the expense of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers," the spokesman said. -Bolofsky agreed that ending the program would help brokers, but he insisted the biggest beneficiary would be the public. "Congestion will be reduced," he said. "More money will be raised." -Assuming 70% of double-parking tickets are dismissed, he estimated the city has forfeited $147.5 million over the life of the program by not fining participants for double parking beyond Midtown. -The new schedule will collect about 30% of double-parking fines, but Bolofsky insists the program still benefits the biggest operators the most. He maintains that neither the city nor companies such as UPS will lose money adjudicating tickets, arguing that many companies still have in-house teams for the job, and automation can reduce the expense further. He noted that the city handled 12 million tickets a year in 1990, when they were handwritten, and had to deal with only 10 million last year. Enforcement agents now use handheld devices that reduce the errors and bad handwriting that led to dismissals. -The Finance Department disagrees with his conclusions, saying both the city and the 1,751 companies in the program—encompassing 48,880 vehicles—would spend more without the program. -"We would need more hearing officers," Shear said. "The companies would have to retain brokers or hire staff to defend against these parking tickets. In terms of revenue, there would be no increase to the city." -Apart from whether the program is good for the city, a walk through Midtown with several UPS executives revealed how difficult following parking rules can be. -Another option would be to park at a metered spot a couple of blocks away and cart diamonds by hand truck to recipients, which UPS rules out for security reasons. "It would put our driver and other people in the area at risk," said Axel Carrion, director of state public affairs. -A few blocks away, on West 50th Street, where commercial parking was allowed at that hour, every space between Sixth and Seventh avenues was taken, mostly by delivery and commercial vehicles. There were two idling for-hire vehicles and three cars with "parking authorization" placards—the bane of parking-reform advocates—on their dashboard. -Even when a UPS driver finds a legal spot, regulations can conflict with the company's efforts to operate efficiently. Using new dispatch-planning technology, the company has increased the number of packages a truck will carry to nearly 400 so that one truck does the work of two. But that truck needs to stay in one place much of the workday, doing pickups when it's done with deliveries. Parking rules—which aim to promote the flow of traffic and keep operators from hogging spots—require it to move after three hours. -But circling the block will delay deliveries and the truck could lose the spot, so the driver will stay put. This reduces congestion and pollution. But the ticket, which costs program participants nothing, will set them back $25 under the new schedule. -Overall UPS expects its payments under the fine program to jump 32% next year, to $21.8 million, with a $3.4 million increase from double parking and more than $1 million from unloading in the wrong spot or at the wrong time. The company says it would like to try other solutions, such as paying for spots where a truck could sit all day. Long term, it would like to see new building construction include space for unloading. -Right now the firm is weighing the benefits of staying in the program. -"My drivers can be trained to avoid the ticket, and we have drastically reduced the amount of tickets over the past couple of years," said Dan Byrnes, director of finance at UPS, adding that the city's ticket data aided his efforts. "Now with these changes, [the city] is not really helping. Just raising prices is not going to change behavior." -A serene elegance overflows from this timeless Spanish beauty in the Hollywood Hills.

After a year of development and testing it's finally available from the webshop. -What is the reason for this product? Are the wonderful properties of CBD insufficient on their own? -As part of nature, CBD and Curcumin have a programme that is incomparable with anything else, CBD as highest in rank, but when it comes to attributed properties Curcumin is a good second. That’s exactly why we call it the best of both worlds. Curcumin and CBD are in part, as regards effect and properties, aligned with each other and therefore increase the chance of making a valuable contribution to the well-being of humans and animals. -There are also properties attributed to Curcumin that provide a great deal of extra added value independently of CBD. -We opted for 30 ml and 50 ml packaging to draw individual attention to both products and to present these in the best possible way. As a result, the ratio CBD and Curcumin is 1 : 1 and this is the ratio that has been tested as best. -The Curcumin edition is also particularly suitable for preventative use, 10 drops in cup of tea, glass of water or juice gives you a dream start to the day! Whenever you could use a little help, we recommend the use of 10 drops at breakfast and 10 drops during the day, and do please feel welcome to let us know what it does for you! -We think this is the most wonderful product of all and the best supplement ever. What do you think? -How to Make Flapjacks - Quick, Easy and Yummy! -Learn How to Make Flapjacks with this easy recipe. The favourite simple, English, chewy, gooey, kids bake. Add chocolate if you fancy, or use dairy free spread to make them vegan. Use gluten free oats to make them gluten free too. -I’ve got to tell you, my home baking has fallen down a little lately. -We are living in a new house (October, is that still ‘new’?) which has a pretty rubbish kitchen and once I’ve been cooking all day for work, I kind of forget to cook treats for George and Harriet. -I’d like to tell you that Mum guilt got the better of me but actually I accidentally ordered a COMEDY sized huge bag of Jumbo Oats by mistake. -I realised that I’d never shared this recipe and in writing up how to make flapjacks, I’ve realised I MUST make them more. They are SO good! -Before we get into the details I feel I should clarify what a flapjack is for any transatlantic readers. -In America a flapjack is actually a pancake. English flapjacks are more of a gooey oat/granola bar, made with butter, sugar, golden syrup and oats, all baked in the oven. -Flapjacks are a super simple and easy treat. -What ingredients do you need to make flapjacks? -All you need to make flapjacks are butter, sugar, golden syrup and oats. -How do you make flapjacks? -The absolute key in how to make flapjacks is all in the cooking time. -They really are such a simple bake to make. Firstly you melt unsalted butter in a heavy bottomed pan. Once the butter is melted, stir in sugar and golden syrup. As soon as the sugar is dissolved, you remove the pan from the heat. -Now stir in your oats, making sure that they are all coated with the mixture. -Put the flapjack mixture into a baking parchment lined baking tray. Carefully press them down using a spatula to ensure they cook evenly and are the same thickness when you cut them. -Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, the edges of your flapjack should just be starting to brown, but the middle should be soft with a slight amount of wobble. -Which oats should I use in flapjacks? -I used Jumbo whole oats, in this flapjack recipe. They give a lighter, more crumbly texture. -You can also rolled oats, which make a more dense flapjack. -Should flapjacks be crunchy or chewy? -For me the perfect flapjack is a chewy one, with slightly crunchy edges. Anything else is simply not good enough! -However, if you of the crunchy flapjack persuasion, just cook your flapjacks for slightly longer. -What other ingredients can I add to my perfect flapjack recipe? -Once you have mastered the basic flapjack recipe, the world is your oyster in terms of other flavours. -A simple covering of melted chocolate after cooking adds some sugary goodness that will be a hit with the children. -You can also add dried fruits for an extra portion of fruit. -The list is endless, let me know if you find your perfect flapjack flavour! -Do you cut flapjacks hot or cold? -Leave the flapjack in the tin until it is completely cooled before cutting into sixteen squares and removing from the tin. -I think allowing them to cool helps them to keep their shape and means that you don’t need to overcook them. -Can you make Dairy free or vegan flapjacks? -Yep! Just replace the butter with your favourite dairy free spread. -How long do homemade flapjacks last for? -In our house this is about 5 minutes but if you can resist temptation this flapjack recipe will last for around 10 days kept in an air tight container. -You can also freeze flapjack in portions for up to one month. -This perfect sized baking tin. -Great quality baking paper like this. -Always use a good quality baking parchment to line your baking tray. A top tip is to make small cuts in your parchment at each corner to help it fit the baking tray better. -You can vary the type of sugar used in your flapjack. I used soft brown sugar in this recipe to make it chewy and rich. You could also use castor sugar but it won’t be quite as tasty. Dark brown sugar would give a darker appearance and a richer flavour. -I have used 1tsp of salt in this flapjack recipe. You can leave this out if you are cooking for young children, but I do have to say I think it really adds to the recipe and brings out the flavour. -If you prefer you could substitute honey for golden syrup, I haven’t tried this myself, but if you do let me know how you get on. -If you fancy some inspiration for other simple sweet treats or after school snacks then take a look at my Ultimate Banana Muffins or Microwave Brownies recipes. -Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. I’d love to know how you got on and what you thought of it if you make this Easy Flapjack recipe. Please rate the recipe and leave me a comment below if you do. -PS. Look at these two getting in on the post photo act. HAHA! Hope your children enjoy this recipe as much as mine do. -Preheat your oven to 170deg (fan) 150deg (conventional). -Line a 20cm x 20 cm baking tray with baking parchment, cut slits in each corner so it fits neatly. -Melt your butter in a large pan over a low heat. -Once melted add your sugar. and golden syrup. Once the sugar has dissolved remove from the heat and stir in the oats. -Give the entire mixture a really good stir so that all of the oats are coated. -Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, the edges should be starting to brown but the middle should still be soft and wobbly. -When the flapjacks are cold, remove from the tin and slice your flapjack into 16 squares with a sharp knife. -Jordan Lee Archilbald “Jordy”, 24 of Jamestown NC was called to heaven on May 3, 2018. An informal gathering to celebrate the life of this precious soul will be held on Tuesday, May 8th at 6:00 pm at his mother’s home, 205 Forestdale Dr Jamestown NC 27282. -Jordy will be remembered by all who loved him as having the most beautiful, loving, caring and tender heart. When Jordy loved, he loved deeply. Jordy was kind and so affectionate and made everyone feel important. Jordy was special, that’s for sure and if we mentioned all that we have in our hearts, you would all be reading this for days. That’s how much we all loved our “baby boy”. -Some of the things Jordy loved most was large family gatherings, eating his “Ma’s” good cooking, fun times with friends, playing with Kensleigh and Abri and his little brother Jaidan, he loved his big brother Josh and fishing with his younger brother Jared and his cousin Garrett. His dad, Elmer was his hero. Jordy had much love and respect for his grandparents Kenneth and Virginia Manring and he knew that his Aunt Sissy worshiped the ground he walked on. Jordy loved all of his family so very much. -Jordy was charismatic and full of life. Just being near him made others happy and people were drawn to him. His beautiful smile and that sparkle in his eyes would light up the room and his silly laugh will never be forgotten. -We will miss our precious Jordy every day of our lives. We will continue to find comfort in knowing our God is a loving God and he has our boy in the palm of his hands and Jordy’s Mimi is holding him in her arms. We will see him again. He was and will always be SO LOVED. -In lieu of cut flowers, the family would welcome perennial flowers to create a memory garden for Jordy. -What is the fifth wave? -The mid-January defeat in Congress of the Protect IP Act (PIPA) and its evil twin, the Stop Piracy Act (or SOPA), is a dramatic illustration of the decline of established authority in the face of a rebellious public. The authorities engaged in this particular farce were political and economic: a handful of senators and congressmen, and the organizational chieftains of the entertainment industry. The performance began with quiet murmurs behind drawn curtains, but ended with a pratfall-filled chase scene in the full light of day, worthy of the Marx Brothers. -The sponsoring politicians clearly believed this was a technical matter, to be settled among lawmakers and interested parties. It never occurred to them that anyone would be paying attention. For their part, representatives of the “creative” establishment felt entitled to reduce the web to something like an occupied country, and co-opt the Justice Department to secure their profits. It never occurred to them to question the outsourcing of their business needs to the government. -This being Washington DC, the line between political and corporate power was fuzzy. -According to Politico, Allison Halatei, former Deputy Chief of Staff to House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith, and Lauren Pastarnack, a Senate Judiciary Committee Senior Aide, just accepted jobs with two of the lobbying firms backing SOPA and PIPA. Halatei and Pastarnack helped write the bills. Halataei is now the National Music Publisher’s Association chief liaison to Congress, and Pasternak is now the director of government relations for the MPAA. -The head of the MPAA is Chris Dodd, a former senator. By law, he is banned from lobbying Congress, but as sultan of the music publishers he can throw fistfuls of coins to his friends from a $100 million lobbying war chest. -PIPA/SOPA enjoyed support from the Republicans who run the House and the Democrats who run the Senate. It was a rare bipartisan effort, mantled in the undivided power and prestige of the federal legislature. That it collapsed so quickly, and in such a comic opera atmosphere, should be considered a symptom of our strange moment in history. -The dispute over SOPA is often framed as pitting Washington-savvy Hollywood against the naïfs of Silicon Valley. This characterization is by no means false. I applied it in my previous post on the subject, and it pretty accurately describes the early phases of the conflict. -But something changed. As the knowledgeable Yochai Benkler observes, it wasn’t Google or Facebook which orchestrated the bills’ astonishing reversal of fortune. It was the eruption into the process – typically sudden and unforeseen – of the hordes of an aroused public. -It turned out many people had been paying attention after all. Marketing campaigns by tech companies helped call attention to the problems with SOPA, but this was largely an organic movement, an internet thing. I don’t know much about the internet, but I know this: virality is unforeseeable. Marketing geniuses, deploying the sexiest technical applications, will fail to achieve it. Yet teenage kids reproducing images of kittens go viral in a trice. -The web is overwhelmingly populated by cute cat communities and their like. This is Ethan Zuckerman’s insight, not mine. Building on the idea, Zuckerman has advanced a “cute cat theory” of web activism: if you mess with the governance of the internet, you will get into serious political trouble at the point when you truly and really piss off the cute cat users – the multitudinous, normally apolitical public. That, in brief, is what happened to Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, and to SOPA’s sponsors in Congress. -Some tech companies, in fact, seemed dazed by the ferocity of the public’s reaction. Within a week of Godaddy’s announced support for SOPA, a user boycott had moved over 70,000 domains out of the company’s hosting site, forcing a clearly disoriented management to distance itself from the bill. -The effort to publicize the fight over PIPA/SOPA involved web activists like Rebecca MacKinnon and new media mavens like Jeff Jarvis, nonprofit entities like Wikipedia and multibillion-dollar outfits like Facebook. On 18 January, while Congress continued to ponder various versions of the two bills, Wikipedia, Reddit, and thousands of additional sites – including, let it be noted, the most popular cute cat location – went dark in protest. Other websites maintained service but made their displeasure known. Google, for example, conspicuously blacked out its logo. -First, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising Republican star, took to Facebook, one of the vehicles for promoting opposition, to renounce a bill he had co-sponsored. Senator John Cornyn of Texas, who leads the G.O.P.’s Senate campaign efforts, used Facebook to urge his colleagues to slow the bill down. Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina and a Tea Party favorite, announced his opposition on Twitter, which was already boiling over with anti-#SOPA and #PIPA fever. -Then trickle turned to flood — adding Senators Mark Kirk of Illinois and Roy Blunt of Missouri, and Representatives Lee Terry of Nebraska and Ben Quayle of Arizona. At least 10 senators and nearly twice that many House members announced their opposition. -“Thanks for all the calls, e-mails, and tweets. I will be opposing #SOPA and #PIPA,” Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, wrote in a Twitter message. Late Wednesday, Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, withdrew his support for a bill he helped write. -Two days after the Wikipedia blackout, both PIPA and SOPA were withdrawn without ever coming up for a vote. -There are lessons from this struggle, for those with eyes to see. Political power sought control, rather than the imposition of any particular ideology. The web is mostly illegible to government. Those who have absorbed James C. Scott’s Seeing Like a State know that modern governments everywhere seek to transform the social landscape to make it more legible from the center. On this account, SOPA won’t be the last attempt to impose a policing regime on the web. -Political and business actors argued from authority, rather than the merits of the case. They suffered from tunnel vision, willfully ignoring the unintended consequences of patrolling the public’s means of communication on the web. Political players believed they worked within a club of friends. The entertainment industry looked at its business interests and saw a moral imperative. Neither expected opposition from outside their charmed circle, so neither could muster persuasive arguments when, to their complete surprise, that opposition materialized. -Established authority was blind to the information environment in which the public works and plays. It could not see where the revolt against SOPA came from. Authority emanates from hierarchical structures which once monopolized access to information and communication. Everything produced outside these structures appears worse than illegitimate: unreal. Dodd thus blamed his industry’s legislative disaster on “Internet companies” and their “ability to spread their message globally, without regulation or fact-checking.” He never saw the public that trounced him. -Finally, the nature of the conflict between authority and the public is what the Pentagon would call asymmetric: one is powerful and slow-moving, the other numerous and quicksilver. Principles of action diverge accordingly, with authority worshipping rank and orderly process, while the public, as public, displays informality and a contrarian streak sometimes verging on nihilism. With SOPA, authority tried to make the web more like itself. Disruptive change, I suspect, will soon flow in the opposite direction. -Officers who followed a car zig-zagging down a Des Moines street before it crashed were surprised to find a 10-year-old boy at the wheel with his 7-year-old brother riding shotgun. -A 911 caller alerted police to a reckless driver a little before 8:30 a.m. Monday. Officers who spotted the car turned on their flashing lights while following it, but the curb-to-curb excursion didn’t end until the minor crash. Police say neither of the boys was hurt. -Sgt. Paul Parizek says the boys apparently were just out on a joy ride, and were heading nowhere in particular. -2. What is machine code? -3. Storing opcodes in memory. -4. The space invader program. -5.

The next step is figuring out what exactly you have conceived. You may have heard this called an “IP Audit,” but really it is an overall evaluation of what you have, who owns it, and whether it is protected — or even worth protecting. Is it a patentable subject matter? Do you have a trademark, design, or know-how to be concerned about? -Are there business interests in seeking protections? -What are the best ways to use those resources? -What are the chances of securing the protections? -What’s the potential for a pivot and would those protections be valuable if you go in a different direction? -What are third parties doing and what are investors looking for? -Once you’ve weighed these and other factors that may come up, you craft a plan, and put that plan into action. Then make sure to monitor that plan, keep track of any business, product, or service developments, and reflect on how they fit in with your plan — and address any concerns along the way. It’s really an ongoing process. -The path from the conception of your idea to the protection of your intellectual property is a journey you should not take alone. Even the preliminary audit requires expert knowledge to ensure that you do not put all of your effort into a patent that may not be central to your business etc. A qualified intellectual property attorney can work with you throughout the process, from conception to potential enforcement.

Ink has a muted, non-vibrant look for a throw-back effect. Designed and printed with pride in Ann Arbor, Michigan with a retro color palette, and available for most cities, towns, and villages in the United States! -Stiff sole ensures excellent power transfer. -A bit heavy for the price. -The latest update of this old standard improves on past versions while keeping the fit that Specialized is known for. -In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll admit that I am a Specialized fan-boy where shoes are concerned. I have worn their shoes since the mid-nineties and have always appreciated their fit. Especially since the advent of BG, their Body Geometry approach to biomechanics, the shoes seemed to be tailor-made for my feet. Speaking of my feet, I should also disclose something about them. I measure out at an 11D. My feet are medium volume, have an average to mildly narrow heel but are wide at the ball of the foot, especially on the outside at the fifth metatarsal. Most footwear, whether it is a pair of dress shoes, ski boots or cycling shoes, tend to squeeze my fifth metatarsal. Specialized shoes don’t do this. It’s almost as if they modeled their last on my foot. Since fit is the single most important factor in selecting a shoe, you can probably appreciate why I like Specialized shoes so much. Enough about my feet; let’s move on to the shoes. -The Pro MTB shoe sits near the top of Specialized’s off-road line, just below the flagship S-works and S-works EVO MTB shoes. The Pro MTB features two Velcro and one buckle strap which is a pretty common configuration these days as well as being more mud-tolerant than Boa systems. The upper is a combination of a synthetic leather called Micromatrix and nylon mesh. Specialized rates the carbon fiber mid-sole as a 10 on a stiffness scale that maxes out at 12. -And stiff they certainly are. In fact, I would not want them any stiffer. On steep run-ups, I had to tighten down the straps to a borderline uncomfortable degree to minimize heel lift. A full length race with shoes this tight would leave my feet tingling. I preferred to leave them a little looser and suffer the heel lift. Fortunately, the entire heel pocket is lined with synthetic leather which will wear better than the nylon mesh found in cheaper shoes. The stiff soles were appreciated on high power, out-of-the-saddle efforts up steep hills and never gave me hot spots on longer training rides. -While I had mud-clogging problems with the previous generation of Specialized buckles, the 2010 version as well as the 2011 version tested here feature a buckle design that is immune. After repeated dunkings in mud bogs, I was able to easily release the buckles. In fact the “D-link” strap is the engineering gem of this shoe. It is adjustable on both ends so that you can center the comfortable pad over the instep of your foot whether you have a low, medium or high volume foot. On the medial side, a new concealed tool-free adjustment system is easy to fine-tune and holds fast when buckled down. There was one occasion where the strap seemed to adjust itself when packed in a bag on the way to a race. Be sure to check the strap adjustment whenever you pull them out of your gear bag. -The “D-link” strap works in tandem with a new tongue design that magically combines ventilation and stiffness which transfers the force of the strap to a wider area. During cyclocross season, I’m not so concerned about the ventilation aspect of the tongue, but the way Specialized has designed it to spread the load is impressive. -What is not impressive is the weight. While the size 45 shoes I tested were three sizes larger than those that Specialized weighed, they are over 100 grams or a quarter pound heavier. I never felt weighed down by them but for a pair of shoes that cost $300 with tax, I expect them to wow me in the weight department. -Despite that minor issue, Specialized has continued to improve on a very impressive shoe that is well-designed, well-manufactured and does what it’s supposed to do. -All nine justices on the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) and refused to widen the scope of the federal Clean Water Act. In PPL Montana, LLC v. Montana, the Court February 22 unanimously declined to expand the definition of what is considered “navigable” under federal law. The ruling removes a road block that could have needlessly delayed transportation improvements. -ARTBA joined with eight other industry associations in filing a brief, urging the Court to overturn a lower court holding that the entire span of three rivers in Montana was “navigable” because certain remote sections are used for recreational purposes. -For purposes of transportation development, once something is considered “navigable” it is under federal control, and subject to the permitting authority of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers. An expanded definition of “navigability” could have resulted in a scenario where the EPA and Corps would have the option of exerting jurisdiction over roadside ditches, potentially adding years to already expansive review and approval process for transportation infrastructure projects that are needed for increased mobility and improved safety. -For 20 years, ARTBA has been the transportation design and construction industry’s primary legal advocate. The association has a second case before the Supreme Court relating to the Clean Water Act, with a ruling expected later this year. Two additional ARTBA-supported Clean Water Act cases are pending in the federal courts. In total, ARTBA’s efforts have allowed nearly $50 billion in approved—yet challenged—state, regional and local transportation projects and plans to move forward since 1993. -The full text of the association’s brief can be found in the “current advocacy efforts” section of www.artba.org. -Noted Catholic inspirational speaker Greg Wasinski shared some thoughts with AM 1260 The Rock business members and advertisers at the second AM 1260 The Rock Business Member Networking Breakfast on Tuesday, June 19th.

It also helps that it has that gold shimmer I love so much! I didn't like this polish so much in the bottle. The shimmer looked like those iridescent shimmers that make polishes look more cool toned; however on the nail, the shimmer is a lovely gold that gives the polish a flattering warm tone! -Other swatches online indicate that this is a really sheer polish, but while I thought it was a little on the sheer side for a Zoya, it reached opacity for me in 3 coats.

You should have a go at requesting an observation yourself before using Go Observing in the classroom. It's extremely easy to do. -There is a Go Observing Video Screencast showing how Go Observing works, and that might be the best way to see how easy Go Observing is to use. The video lasts less than 5 minutes, and then you can have a go at requesting an observation yourself! -The steps below show the same steps that you will see in the video, but this time they are for observing a galaxy. -If you are not already logged in, do that now. -Click Go Observing in the top menu. -Select Galaxies from the menu. -You then see a page with various observing programmes you can do related to Galaxies. For a basic observation click on Observe a Galaxy. -You will be presented with a list of possible galaxies you can request an observation for. Choose the galaxy that has the highest chance of being observed during the next few days. The colour bar indicate the likelihood of an early observation. Today is on the very left of the bar next to each galaxy. When you have selected your galaxy, click Submit Observation. -You will be shown a screen confirming your observation has been sent to the telescope and details of the observation you have submitted. To make life easy at this stage, the Go Observing interface chooses the filter and exposure time for you. In other projects you might be able to choose these yourself. -You can check on the Status of your observation at any time by going to My Observations. In 24 hours come back to the NSO website to see if your observation has been completed. If it has not, then try again the next day and so on until your observation is completed. You will see on the homepage the status of your recent observations if you are logged in. -When your observation is complete, you will be told it is ready for download. You should download your image and open it in LTImage so that you can see your galaxy. You will probably need to scale the image in order to see the galaxy. You will find instructions on how to do this in the Using LTImage section of the website. -Turbocharging is one of the key technologies in current and future engine development. Due to the increasing requirements that extend beyond power output and torque alone, the internal and external mechanical components of turbochargers are being subjected to an ever-increasing load spectrum. -2017, Papadopoulos, Becker, Ehnis, Kunzel, et al. -Since the oil emission in transient engine operation shows significant deviations from the stationary operation maps, one focus is the analysis of the dynamic oil emission behavior. This means that the calculation and assessment of dynamic oil measurement operations and the calculation of a standardized test program for the visualization of dynamic oil emission effects and for the systematic investigation of the causing oil transport mechanisms. -The structural design of the piston group has a considerable influence on the mechanical losses of internal combustion engines. However, measures to reduce friction are often in conflict with the oil consumption – especially when designing the tangential force of the oil control ring. -The oil emission of an internal combustion engine has a direct influence on the CO2 and particle emissions. As a result, the reduction of oil emissions, especially in the context of the stricter emission limits for the automotive industry, is increasingly becoming the focus of attention. To achieve this goal, a deeper understanding of the mechanism of action for the formation of oil emissions in internal combustion engines is necessary. -I have had a similar experience with precut strips. I no longer assume they are accurate or straight! I think your outcome is really nice though! -I've had at least one jelly roll that did that to me. I like to cut my own now. :) You did a marvelous job of not only finishing the flimsy, but turning it into something equally as interesting as the original pattern. If it were me, I'd use the leftover blocks somehow in the backing, just to get rid of them. I know how good it feels to finish up something I am very tired of looking at. Great job, and very creative! -I remember that debacle! It had me afraid to buy strip sets for years, but I've passed that. I was also thinking "lemonade." I think keeping those frustrating pieces was good, because those ombre colors look so good up there! -Great quilt! Love what you finally arrived at, very creative play. -I haven't been happy with a couple of layer cakes too not being true squares and not cut on the true grain. You made a great job of rescuing the blocks. -Your new flimsy looks fantastic!! Great job!! -Sandy, You are amazing. That was an eye grabbing finish to that less than perfect cut of a jellyroll. It really looks great. I'm getting back on line so stop by sometime. Looking forward to being with you at retreat ....really soon.

The system was provided and installed by Lithuanian automation and telecommunication systems integrator UAB Autepra, using RFID tags from UPM Raflatac on pallets loaded with its products, and reusable tags from Omnia Technologies for raw materials. The software, provided by Sprendimu idejos, integrates with the company's existing Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP system. -Artilux NMF produces approximately 6 million decorative lamps and lighting fixtures each year, which are shipped on 25,000 pallets. Most are sent to distributors throughout Europe that, in turn, forward the lamps to retailers that sell lighting products. In the past, pallet tracking was performed with a system that combined the use of printed labels and paperwork, and bar-code labels on boxes and pallets. -When a pallet is loaded with boxes of lamps, an RFID label is attached to one of the boxes. -As manufactured lamps and fixtures came off the production line, they were stacked on pallets, and a red sheet of paper was placed on top. Quality-control workers would walk among the pallets, examine the products, ensure that they were complete and ready to be sent to the warehouse, and then remove the red paper to indicate that pallet had passed quality control. Employees would input data regarding the pallet's load in the company's ERP system, and staff members picking up items would then need to use bar-code scanners to scan the ID number encoded to each item's bar-code label, to record which products were loaded on the pallet or inside the box. -The system was prone to mistakes, however, with workers not always clearly or correctly indicating whether a pallet had passed quality control, or had been shipped, or if the proper pallet was being shipped at the correct time, and to the right location. Errors could be made in a multitude of ways—an item or pallet bar-code label might have been scanned, a red sheet of paper could have been placed on the wrong item (or simply be missing), and there would be no record of a pallet being inspected or moved to the warehouse. -When it came to raw materials, there were similar problems. Items such as wires and plastic components for lamp assembly arrived at the facility, then were loaded on pallets and stored in the warehouse. Bar-code labels encoded with a serial number on the pallets were scanned using a bar-code reader, to indicate the materials had been received and when they went to production, in order to update the system as to the materials' status. But workers sometimes failed to scan the labels when they were supposed to, so the company lacked a clear, accurate understanding of which materials were available in the warehouse, or whether they had already been used. Bar-code scanning was also time-consuming, because it required warehouse employees to get off their forklifts to scan each pallet's label. -Wenzhou Kolink Valve Co., Ltd. is one of the क्रायोजेनिक गेंद वाल्व leading brands in China.

Jack won this award in the past in 2009, 2010, and 2012. -In the early part of the 2nd Dynasty and the discovery of humanity, a Goa'uld Queen known as Calypso saw that the nature of whom the Goa'uld were would change in the Birth of the Jaffa. She feared that her prim'ta would become weaker if give to the care of the Jaffa. So against the others she would spawn her prim'ta in secret and go into hiding. However she didn't cut off her interactions with the whole of the Goa'uld Empire. She earned a spot with the High Council after her help in joining the others in the defeat of Anubis, however she was not trusted by Ra. -Though she was considered a friend to Egeria once, but the two fell part after a disagreement about the future of the Goa'uld. As Egeria spawned the Tok'ra, Calypso, built the asteroid home, Nassau which dispite its size and the fact that it was once an mining asteroid; was capable of going into hyperspace. As Ra brought his forces to bear against Egeria, he attempted to go after Calypso, but was unable to capture her. Thus she went into hiding, continuing her belief of keeping the Goa'uld Prim'ta predatory. As the dust settled she remained hidden however her 'children' came back into the fold of the Goa'uld Empire, in the form of Ashrak. However as with her their mentality was predatory, they craved conflict and looting what they need to survive. Years of her Spawning practice had lead to a taste for other Goa'uld prim'ta in their diet. For unknown reasons the Meznarid hosts iris permanently change to crimson in color. -In 1,002 BC Calypso Spawned her favorite 'daughter', Besmara. -Life didn't come easy to them, they spend their time running and secretive from all the Goa'uld. They learned to adapt, and have stolen technology from the Goa'uld and the Tok'ra. -During the emergence of the Tau'ri, they have struggled harder than in the past. The Goa'uld that were their allies and allowing them to 'take' their prim'ta had decreased. The in balance alone had cause a decrease in their numbers. The overall defeat of the Goa'uld had lead them back to raid P3X-888 for Prim'ta and Queens. Though the prim'ta of the primordial goa'uld are still predatory, the prim'ta of the Meznarid still have an upper hand. -The coming of the Ori, caused a near extinction of the Meznarid way of life as the Lucian Alliance cut into the Meznarid 'criminal organizations', the Ori crusade had dealt a blow to the Spawning Sites. As worlds fell to the Ori, they lost the Queens who have been there on their Spawning Pilgrimage. It was a heavy lose, however Besmara was left the eldest of all the Meznarid Queen; with the exemption of Calypso the All-Mother. -All-Mother: The never changed rank, in life or in death there will be no other. -Pirate Queen: The Leader of the Queens, she is in a sense a system lord according to the Meznarid. She commands the main fleet and forces. She dictates the positions of the Asteroid Homesteads. -Monah: Is a Queen whom controls a Asteroid Homestead. -Pirate Lord: The Leader of the Captains, the warlord of all. -Queens: The protectors and spawners of the Bloodlines of the Captains. -Captain: Lord of the their ship, conquer of assets and provider for the Meznarid. Queens have been know to be Captains as well. -Brigand: The Lowest rank of the Meznarid Goa'uld and the Highest rank for the Humans of the Meznarid. They are Commanders of a small vessel like cargo ships and Al'kesh like craft. -Spawning Sites: The Queens of the Meznarid choose worlds that are lush and covered in water. Living amonst the human inhabitants to hide from the Goa'uld whom may or may not live there. They build a dwelling to house their Spawning Pool. And they will stay to care for their Prim'ta until it hits maturity. -Spawning Pilgrimage: It was started to ensure that Nassau would not be found. The Meznarid Queens would leave Nassau 'if they lived there', and head to a Spawning Site or even construct a new one on another world. -Prim'ta Rising: To ensure the predatory instinct of the Meznarid Prim'ta. Prim'tas would devour the weakest until one was left. Rarely was there two whom survived. To keep the Prim'ta healthy they would be feed other Prim'ta from a Goa'uld ally. This fact was hidden from the whole of the Goa'uld Empire, but was not surprising as cannabism is practiced within the empire. -Host investments: The host for all Meznarid are the offspring of the Queens 'mate'. Whom sires children and later those children are choosen ahead of time to be hosts. Even then these kids are trained as assassins and cutthroats. And survival of the fittest. -Humans: Unlike most Goa'uld Lords the backbone of the Meznarid armed forces are the humans that most consider slaves. Though some are slaves however, there are those who serve in the military. Those of the Military are decendents of past pirate lords. -Jaffa: Though Calypso never got into the habit of using Jaffa as incubators for her Prim'ta, there are few Jaffa whom serve the Meznarid. They are brained washed or couxed into service. Used to gain knowledge about info, tech and fighting techniques. -Oranian: This race is treated no different than the humans however they are more or less used as cannon fodder. -Ilempiri: Prized to the Meznarid, most effective warriors and bounty hunters. -A District Court decision overturning major provisions of three Executive Orders has been appealed.

(At least not that I’ve noticed, feel free to correct me.)

Some shampoos cost .66 to .99 cents. Is there that much of a difference between the two products to justify the price? I use the shampoo for body wash. -Great question Valeri and an astute observation for even considering the possibility. The truth is that shampoos and body washes are so similar that they can be used interchangeably. In fact, in the early days of body washes it was not uncommon for a company to take its shampoo formula, put it in a different bottle, change the label and call it a body wash. -Let’s look at some of the things that the two products have in common. -1. Water & detergent. Shampoos and body washes are designed to clean which means they’re mostly water and detergent. And for cleaning oil off of surfaces nothing beats surfactants. Body washes like Dove, Olay and Herbalessences all use Sodium Laureth Sulfate. This is the same surfactant that many shampoos use. -2. Fragrance & Color. No differences here. Body wash and shampoo use the same ingredients to make the product smell good and look pretty. -3. Conditioning ingredients. Since detergents can be a bit harsh, ingredients are added to improve the after-feel of hair and skin. Often body washes and shampoos use the same types of ingredients. -While shampoos and body washes are quite similar there are some important differences. -1. Body wash uses less harsh detergents. Since skin is generally more sensitive than hair, body wash formulas are made with slightly less detergent and also less harsh detergents. The low cost shampoos use SLS or ALS which are excellent cleaners but can be drying to skin. -2. Different conditioning ingredients. Some of the ingredients that conditioner hair can also provide a nice feel on skin. However, many will not and this is often a key difference between shampoos & body washes. -A great comparison is to look at the list of ingredients of the Herbal Essences Body Wash versus their Shampoo. See the similar ingredients? -Companies have actually picked up on the similarities. In the Old Spice High Endurance Body Wash they show a guy washing his hair and body with the same product. -Shampoos clean and so do body washes. In general you’ll find it beneficial to use both a body wash and a shampoo. But there is really no reason you couldn’t use a shampoo to clean your entire body. If you use a daily moisturizer, then there is no need for a separate body wash. -For what it’s worth, there seems to be more than one opinion on this subject. I noticed I was getting styes all the time. So I went to my doctor and he confirmed that some people are just more prone to them. But he also said that wearing eye make up can exacerbate the problem. He suggested I stop wearing eye makeup for a while and see if it made a difference. I took his advice and my styes virtually vanished. I get one only about two or three times a year now. So I would say there can be a definite correlation. (Btw, I was using high quality eye makeup when I was getting the styes, so that doesn’t necessarily matter.) Anyway, hope this is helpful. -Next post: Is soft and beautiful relaxer safe for kids? -Previous post: Does wearing eye makeup cause styes? -If you would like to submit a band to our A&R dept for consideration, please read our submission policy. -If you want to contact us for any other reason, please use the form below, complete all fields, and click the send button.

Famous for it’s stunning and inspiring nature it is quite filled with tourists, but it seems that there is space and place for more or less everyone. If you go outside the biggest cities, you’ll find wild nature, many beaches to choose from within reachable by car or bike distances, affordable tasty Spanish food and a variety of accommodation. And of course, many hiking opportunities and some pilgrimage routes. -Before visiting it for the first time, the exiting fact about Mallorca was that it has a pilgrimage route. The less exiting reality was that it is unfortunately too hot to walk it in July (and August, best times for hiking are months between April and June, and then September through October). The temperatures were around 28-34 C so the beach and the clear blue water was the only choice. However, the beautiful everywhere island is definitely in the future travel plans. So is the Lluc monastery – the sacred destination for pilgrims in Mallorca. -According to the legend, in the area where the Lluc monastery stands today, a statue of the Virgin made of dark wood was found by a local Arab shepherd boy, a recent convert to Christianity in the 13th century. The boy brought the statue to the church but it miraculously got back into the cave where it was found. After the third time it did so, the local priest recognized that the statue needs to be left in the place where it was found and a shrine was built there. The boy’s name was Lluc and that’s where the name of the monastery comes from. (I would say this legend has some similarities with Tenerife’s Virgin of Candelaria). -Today the Lluc monastery is open for pilgrims and hikers visiting Mallorca as its surrounding area offers many hiking possibilities. You can find all the information about routes and book accommodation via official Lluc monastery website (also in English). -Palma de Mallorca – Lluc: if you choose to walk the entire route of ~42 km you need to start at Plaça Güell in Palma. There is also a traditional night pilgrimage that starts at 11 p.m. in Plaça Güell on the first Sunday of August each year. -Sóller – Lluc: you can catch an old wooden train from 1912 (timetable) in Palma and then take the Pilgrim’s Trail from Sóller. The route is ~25 km long therefore pilgrims usually stay overnight at Tossals Verds refuge and reach the Lluc monastery the next day. There is a bus operation from Lluc to Palma de Mallorca (with a connection at Inca). -Pollença – Lluc: or vice versa, you need to follow the Dry Stone Route also known and marked as GR221 route (stage 6). This stage is ~12 km long, easy hike from Lluc to Pollença but steep climb if you go from Pollença to Lluc. -Selva – Caimari – Lluc: would be a shorter day-walk of couple of hours to the monastery starting either from small town of Selva (~12,5 km), or Caimari (~8 km with 5 % ascend). -Cami De LLuc: recently created chain of routes to promote the pilgrimage as a slow way to travel the island. The seven routes (Ruta de Ses Salines, Ruta de Manacor, Ruta d’Arta, Ruta d’Alcudia, Ruta de Formentor, Ruta d’Andratx, Ruta de Palma) are marked with heart shaped stone signs and each of them goes through the historical and natural places of Mallorca to the monastery of Lluc. Each route has a short description on the Cami de Lluc project website (in Catalan, Spanish, English and German). You can also buy a more detailed books for each of the routes and some music created to listen while you walk there. -If you are thinking of moving to Sandhutton or just want to know a what the area is like, the statistics on this page should give you a good introduction. They cover a range of socio-economic factors so you can compare Sandhutton to figures for North Yorkshire and nationally. These statistics can tell you if Sandhutton is an economically deprived area and how hard it might be to get a job. -The respondents of the 2011 Census were asked to rate their health. These are the results for Sandhutton. The percentage of residents in Sandhutton rating their health as 'very good' is more than the national average. Also the percentage of residents in Sandhutton rating their health as 'very bad' is less than the national average, suggesting that the health of the residents of Sandhutton is generally better than in the average person in England. -These figures on the claiming of benefits in Sandhutton come from the Department for Work & Pensions and are dated . They can often be a good indicator of the prosperity of the town and possible indicator of how hard it would be to get employment in the area. The rate of unemployment in Sandhutton is both lower than the average for North Yorkshire and lower than the national average, suggesting that finding a job in this area maybe easier than most places. The rate of claiming any benefit (which includes in work benefits) is more than 10% lower in Sandhutton than the national average, suggesting higher salaries than the average in the area. -These statistics are for the highest level education obtained by the residents of Sandhutton and are from the UK Census of 2011. Sandhutton has a lower level of residents with either no qualifications or qualifications equal to 1 or more GCSE at grade D or below, than the national average. Sandhutton also has a high level of residents with a higher education qualification (level 4) than the national average, suggesting that the residents of Sandhutton are better educated than the average England citizen. -These figures for Country of Birth for the residents of Sandhutton are from the UK Census of 2011. Since Sandhutton has a higher level of residents born in the UK than the national average and a lower rate of residents either born in other EU countries or outside the EU, it does not have a significant immigrant population. -The population of Sandhutton as a whole, is older than the national average. The population of Sandhutton is also older than the North Yorkshire average, making Sandhutton a older persons location. -Do you live in Sandhutton?

Can monitory democracy be expected to move political systems towards or away from equilibrium between effectiveness of government and the responsibilities that government is expected to perform? -First, who is Keane and what does he mean by ‘monitory democracy’? John Keane is professor of politics at Sydney university and author of a major history of democracy, ‘The Life and Death of Democracy’ (2009), a book over 1,000 pages described by one reviewer as not ‘for the faint hearted’. (Unfortunately, I can’t claim to have read it.) In an article in the Griffith Review, Keane argues that from the middle of the 20th Century representative democracy began to transform into monitory democracy – a new historical form described by ‘the rapid growth of many different kinds of extra-parliamentary, power-scrutinising mechanisms’. -‘The combination of monitory democracy and communicative abundance … produces permanent flux, an unending restlessness driven by complex combinations of different interacting players and institutions, permanently pushing and pulling, heaving and straining, sometimes working together, at other times in opposition to one another’. -In considering what implications monitory democracy might have for the survival of democratic institutions it seems to me to be worth recalling Joseph Schumpeter’s view, discussed here recently, that democracy is essentially a leadership contest in which the role of citizens ends after they have cast their votes. The reality of democracy, as described by Keane, is light years away from Schumpeter’s view that democracy can only succeed if voters refrain from trying to tell politicians what to do after they have been elected. -How does monitory democracy actually impact on the balance between the responsibilities and effectiveness of governments? -Some of Keane’s comments suggest that monitory mechanisms might have a positive impact on the effectiveness of government. He points out that, ‘when they do their job well, monitory mechanisms have many positive effects, ranging from greater openness and justice within markets and blowing the whistle on foolish government decisions to the general enrichment of public deliberation and the empowerment of citizens and their chosen representatives through meaningful schemes of participation’. On the other hand, he suggests that nobody ‘should be kidded into thinking that the world of monitory democracy … is a level playing field – a paradise of equality of opportunity among all its citizens and their elected and unelected representatives’. -This does not provide strong grounds for confidence that monitory democracy improves the effectiveness of government. -How does monitory democracy impact on the scope of responsibilities that governments are expected to perform? The discussion in a recent post about voter irrationality seems highly relevant. There is evidence that voters who say that politics is ‘not at all important’ to them are more likely than others to say that ‘the government should take more responsibility to ensure that everyone is provided for’. -On that basis, monitory democracy could be expected to thrust more responsibilities on governments than they can cope with effectively. This raises serious questions about the ability of democratic institutions to survive. -However, as more people perceive that existential threats are facing democratic institutions they might form new interest groups to foster norms of behaviour that might enable better outcomes to be achieved. Under favourable conditions monitory democracy might prove to be a system with self-correcting characteristics. If influential interest groups can form around the survival of some threatened species of animals, is it not reasonable to expect that stronger and more influential interest groups might form when social institutions that make a valued contribution to human well-being are seen to be threatened? -I would like to draw attention to relevant comments by kvd and Jim Belshaw on Jim's blog. Jim now also has another relevant post: What would you nominate as the most asinine slogan? -Neil Whitford is not faint hearted. He has read and reviewed 'The Life and Death of Democracy'. -Apart from the feeling that the term 'monitory' is quite clunky and far too close to monetary, I get the feeling with some of these labels that they get a life of their own. That is to say, once nominated, they become 'an issue' where perhaps previously none existed? -Think of when 'Gen X' appeared, then how it spawned the rest of the alphabet soup - each without much clear or logical distinction that I can see; more rather a progression. -Thanks for your further comment, kvd. -I also have problems with the terminology. For my purposes it might be better to just talk about the characteristics of modern democracy. -In trying to argue that a new form of democracy has emerged it makes sense for John Keane to invent a new label. But 'monitory' does seem confusing. -RAMALLAH, October 6 (JMCC) - Post your message on a Dutch website for 30 Euros and you will soon find it painted on the Wall that Israeli has constructed through the West Bank. -A project initiated by Palestinian and Dutch youth groups called sendamessage arranges the transaction and most of the money is said to go to projects in the West Bank. -Of course, doing the Banksy is not legal. -As if on cue, a military jeep approached the wall where Faris was spraying.

The Buckeye offense backed him up with 13 hits to improve to a conference best 4-1. -DeLucia, a junior from Columbus, Ohio (Bishop Watterson) pitched all nine inning and equaled a career high with nine strikeouts against three walks. He allowed just the one run on six hits to improve to 5-1 this season. His five wins lead the Big Ten. -The Buckeyes supported DeLucia’s left arm with 13 hits and started the scoring in the first inning. It was the 15th game this season the Buckeyes had scored in the fifth inning. They have outscored their opponents 32-13 in the opening inning. -Ohio State scored twice in the bottom of the first inning to take the early 2-0 lead. Jonathan Zizzo (So., Youngstown, Ohio/Sarasota [Fla.]) led off the inning with a single to center field and went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Matt Angle (So., Whitehall, Ohio/Whitehall-Yearling). Zizzo went to third on fielder’s choice by Eric Fryer (So., Reynoldsburg, Ohio/Reynoldsburg). That put runners at the corners for Ronnie Bourquin (Jr., Canton, Ohio/Canton South), who sent a ball to the right-field corner to plate both base runners. -Fryer launched his third home run of the season against the wind out to left field and gave Ohio State a 3-0 lead. -Illinois (14-10, 2-3) got that run back in the top of the fifth inning on an RBI single down the left field line by Ryan Snowden. Ryan Hastings led off the inning with a single to left before a foul out and a ground out brought Snowden to the plate with Hastings at second. The Buckeyes (17-6, 4-1) turned a lead-off hit by Bourquin into their fourth run of the game. Jedidiah Stephen (Sr., Caldwell, Ohio/Shenandoah) singled through the left side to put runners at first and second. J.B. Shuck (Fr., Galion, Ohio/Galion) bunted both runners into scoring position before Bourquin scored on a ground out by Adam Schneider (Jr., Agoura Hills, Calif./Agoura) to give Ohio State a 4-1 lead. -Jason Zoeller (Jr., Verona, Pa./Shady Side Academy) finished 3-for-4 in the game, while Bourquin was 2-for-4 and drove in two runs. Angle, Fryer and Stephen had two hits and Fryer and Schneider added RBI. Chase Kliment was 2-for-4 to lead the Illini. -The teams will play another game Saturday before concluding the series with a doubleheader Sunday at 1:05 p.m. All three games will be broadcast on AM 920 WMNI. -Not all foods from our childhood are created equal. For every successful product, there was a one-hit wonder that disappeared as soon as we hit puberty. -3. Tivoli Ice Cream Bar. -6. Magnolia’s Golden Nangka Fiesta Ice Cream. -7. Nestlé Non-Stop Ice Cream. -10. Magnolia Chocolait (in bottles). -14. Coney Island Ice Cream. -Chocobot is best remembered as the brave candy brand who tried–but failed–to dethrone Choc Nut as Philippines’ favorite chocolate. -Kids from the ’90s would swarm nearby sari-sari stores to have a handful of Chocobot, famous for its Transformers-inspired packaging. -Not only did we buy it to taste the signature chocolate-peanut candy, but also to (hopefully) win a raffle of some sort. Remember the “Better Luck Next Time!” printed inside its wrapper? We never figured out what the mystery prize was because Chocobot soon vanished without a trace. -Royal Sparkling Soda was born when San Miguel Brewery first ventured into the production of non-alcoholic, carbonated beverages. -Also known as carbonated water, a sparkling soda is made by dissolving carbon dioxide in water. The chemical reaction produces a bubbly water which creates an illusion that it “sparkles,” hence the name. -In the 1940s, Royal Sparkling Soda—advertised as “perfectly carbonated pure mineralized water”—came in green bottles shaped like bowling pins. Over the next decades until the product’s demise, the soda bottle transformed both in terms of design and color—from green to clear and back to green again. -In its heyday, Tivoli was known as the “ice cream ng masa” because of its affordability. It became the staple of our childhood summer merienda and we didn’t care if it dripped onto our school uniform as long as we enjoyed its creamy goodness. -Manufactured by Consolidated Foods Corporation (which later merged with John Gokongwei’s Universal Robina Corporation), Tivoli ice cream was made from the only ISO-certified ice cream plant in the Philippines. -The brand suffered lack of innovation and several disputes with suppliers and dealers. In the end, the cost of the ice cream skyrocketed while its supply dwindled, giving the brand’s international counterparts an opportunity to dominate the local ice cream market. -If you’re looking for one of the most, if not the most, unpopular soft drinks in the history of local soft drinks, look no further than Yes Cola. However, the thing that made it notorious also made this now-defunct soda brand memorable. -So what’s wrong with Yes Cola? As some of the ‘60s and ‘70s kids would recall, each bottle of Yes Cola cost 15 cents. And as they always say, you get what you pay for. -The locally-made soda, unlike other more popular brands, had a weird aftertaste. Its variant, the Apple Sidra soft drink, had the same issue: some displeased customers said it tasted like gasoline! -In 2006, the popular fast food chain McDonald’s added an East-meets-West product on its menu. They christened it “McRice Burger” and soon hit the stores in Taiwan and Singapore before being launched in the Philippines. -McRice Burger was based on the idea of creating a rice meal that Asians would enjoy anywhere without the use of utensils. -Rice patties, which served as hamburger buns, were made from fragrant white rice. They were toasted to perfection and topped with black and white sesame seeds for that extra aroma. -McRice Burger came in two variants: Beef Supreme and Chicken Supreme. Some consumers welcomed the idea; Filipinos, after all, won’t survive a day without eating rice. -Sadly, they were outnumbered by those who thought it was a lame alternative to a regular rice meal, pushing the burger to the ever growing list of discontinued McDonald’s products in the Philippines. -If there’s one thing that could explain Magnolia’s staying power, that would be its innovative ice cream flavors. In 1954, for example, the company launched the popular “Flavor of the Month” which, as the name suggests, introduced a different ice cream flavor every month to its Filipino consumers. -The ice cream flavors born during this era ranged from the traditional to downright exotic: Chico, Choco Pretzel, Sweet Corn, and Banana Split, among others. Another memorable flavor was the Golden Nangka Fiesta which combined fruit salad and langka (jackfruit) to create a mouth-watering dessert ideal for fiestas and other special occasions. -Magnolia’s “Flavor of the Month” set the standard for the company’s future product innovations such as the Sorbetes line of the 1980s, which used Philippine fruits and nuts, and the recently launched “Best of the Philippines” line, which pays tribute to different Philippine provinces and their native delicacies. -Once upon a time, Magnolia joined forces with Nestlé Corporation to manufacture some of the most unique ice cream products Filipinos had ever tasted. Nestlé Non-Stop ice cream was one of them. -Marketed specifically to teenagers, the defunct Nestlé Non-Stop was a three-layered ice cream in a cup generously topped with marshmallows, chocolate syrup, and crushed nuts. It also came with a free wooden spoon. -Some of the most memorable flavors include the Choco Banana Split and the limited-edition Black Desire ice cream (see photo above) which was used to promote the blockbuster movie Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. -Back when one peso was more than enough to buy yourself a merienda or school snack, Fress Gusto was the real deal. A bottle of this root beer soda, which only cost 25 centavos (later increased to 30 centavos), was a perfect companion for your favorite hopia. -And who can forget that Mexican-inspired TV advertisement for Fress Gusto in the 1970’s? -Little did we know that the young kid who popularized the tagline “You’ll like it very mucho!” would later dominate the local music industry as the one and only Gary Valenciano. -We don’t consider Storck as a favorite childhood candy, but rather as an ‘adult’ candy we were once forced to eat. Whether as a remedy for motion sickness during a long trip or as an instant breath freshener, Storck was the menthol candy of choice back in the day. -Storck outsold all its competitors, so much so that it was being exported to the U.S. by the mid-’90s. And then the unthinkable happened: the U.S. Drug Administration discovered in 1996 that the foil-like wrapper of Storck menthol candy had a high amount of lead–toxic enough to cause long-term learning and behavioral problems, among others. -Storck Products Incorporated (SPI), the company behind the candy, refused to back down. -With the help of a toxicologist, they let the public know that there’s no scientific evidence to prove that lead from the wrapper could be absorbed by the candy. -However, the damage had already been done. Rebisco soon took over the struggling company and the Storck we once loved was renamed Starr. -Nothing beats the original. And this is true with Magnolia Chocolait which came in mini glass bottles long before the company decided to put it in tetra packs. -Everything about the old Chocolait screams “natural.” It was made from all-natural cow’s milk blended with high-grade chocolate. -To enjoy its creamy goodness, you had to put it in the fridge for a while (or longer if you preferred it frozen). The chocolate part would settle at the bottom of the bottle so you had to shake it well before drinking. Hearing that trademark pop when opening the paper lid would signal you to start gulping it down. -By the late 1960’s, Chocolait was sold at around 50 centavos. Choco-Vim, a similar yet cheaper chocolate-milk drink, cost 35 centavos. -Both were manufactured by Magnolia; Chocolait was sold in square squat bottles while Choco-Vim came in straight-sided ones. The latter eventually phased out, while the former evolved and remains available to this day. -Kids who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s remember Sunny as the poor man’s fruit juice. One bottle could be diluted with water to produce several glasses of fruit juice. For this reason, it became a staple of parties and other special occasions. -Schoolchildren would often bring Coleman jug containing this juice as baon. Some public school teachers, on the other hand, made sideline business out of selling this cheap thirst quencher to their students. -Manufactured by Food World Inc., this defunct juice concentrate came in different flavors such as orange, grape, strawberry, and ice cola. An advertising jingle which aired in the noontime show Eat Bulaga! made the product even more memorable. -But as much as we wanted Sunny to stay in the market, there was just something too ‘artificial’ about its taste. This and the rise of higher quality products that overshadowed it ultimately sent Sunny to the graveyard. -Moonbits was the forgotten Pinoy chocolate candy that once competed with Nips and M&M’s. They were button-shaped candy-coated chocolates manufactured by the defunct Filipino company Serg’s. -Founded in 1954 by Anton Goquilay, Serg’s Products Inc. was named after Anton’s son, Sergio. Its unique brand of candy bars dominated the market for decades. In the 1980’s, however, the growing discontent with the Marcos administration forced the Goquilays to migrate to the United States. -When Sergio left his teaching job in the US and returned to the Philippines, he brought his father’s company back to life. Serg’s Chocolates once again captured the heart of the Filipino market. However, the success was short-lived. -When the 1997 Asian Crisis hit the Philippines, the beloved chocolate company was not spared. Several debts and labor disputes later, Serg’s filed for bankruptcy. -Just like Sunny, Julep entered the market when most people preferred juice concentrate over powdered form. It came in different fruity flavors, too: grape, strawberry, orange, lemon-lime, and punch. -Although not much is known about when and how Julep disappeared, we can only surmise that it shared the same fate with Sunny. -Contrary to popular belief, the Coney Island Ice Cream was an all-Filipino brand. But kids who grew up loving its incredible lineup of ice cream flavors didn’t care–they just craved for it. -We’ll never forget the bubblegum-flavored ice cream with real bubblegum bits as well as New York! New York!, Pistachio, Mint Chocolate Chip, Choco Pecan Nut, and the iconic ice cream sandwich that started it all–Eskimo Roll. -The carnival-themed ice cream brand was introduced to the market in the 1970’s by Seamark Enterprises, a company owned by the Trillana – De Ocampo families (the same people who gave us Whammos and Go Nuts Donuts). -Seamark was later bought by Purefoods, but after a brief stint in PBA (there was, in fact, a basketball team named “Coney Island Ice Cream Stars”), the brand simply disappeared. -There was a correlation between chiropractic care and subsequent vertebrobasilar artery (VBAI) stroke in persons <45 years, but a similar association was seen in patients receiving general medical practitioner treatment. This may be explained by patients with VBAI dissection-related headache or neck pain seeking care before having their stroke. -We will take great care when adjusting your patient. There are a variety of technical procedures for adjusting the neck. -If any neck pain patients do not respond to the first few treatments, I will let you know. Case series of chronic whiplash patients have shown they can improve their symptoms with chiropractic care (Injury, 1996). A marked increase in symptoms would contraindicate further treatment with that type of manipulation. -Ask how I examine patients, and whether I feel x-rays are needed to screen for instability or anomalies. If your patient responds positively to treatment, this would justify continued care, provided there is gradually less weekly frequency. Six to eight adjustments in the first two weeks would not be unusual. This frequency would be rare for a patient in the second month of care. -Published articles and books concerning the healing of injured soft tissues (Oakes 1982; Roy and Irving 1983; Kellett1986; Buckwalter/Woo 1988, Majno 2004) indicate that the time frame for such healing is approximately one year. -Needless to say the difference between a recovery time of 4-8weeks and 12 months dramatically impacts both clinical practice and expected outcomes. -Healing Takes Place In Three Specific Phases. -This phase will last approximately 72 hours. During this phase, after the initial injury, an electrical current is generated at the wound, called the "current of injury." -This "current of injury" attracts fibroblasts to the wound (Oschman,2000). -Because there is disruption of local vascular supplies, there is insufficient availability of substrate (glucose, oxygen,etc.) to produce large enough quantities of ATP energy to initiate collagen protein synthesis to repair the wound. -During the regeneration phase the disruption in the injured muscles and ligaments is bridged. Some references call the regeneration phase the phase of repair, which creates confusion about the timing of healing (Jackson,1977). -"Repair" connotation is that the process has completed, which, as we well see, is not the case. The fibroblasts manufacture and secrete collagen protein glues that bridge the gap in the torn tissues. This phase will last approximately 6-8 weeks (Jackson, 1977). -In 1975, Stonebrink addresses that the last phase of the pathophysiological response to trauma is tissue fibrosis. Boyd in 1953,Cyriax in 1983, and Majno/Joris in 2004 note that there is tissue fibrosis subsequent to trauma. -In addition, Cyriax notes "fibrous tissue is capable of maintaining an inflammatory response long after the initial cause has ceased to operate." -Since inflammation alters the thresholds of the nociceptiveafferent system, physical examinations in these cases will show these fibrotic areas display increased sensitivity, and digital pressure may show hypertonicity and spasm. -One of the conclusions of this study is that the patient's symptoms would not improve after a period of two years following the injury. -It is established neurologically (Wyke 1985, Kirkalady-Willisand Cassidy 1985) that when a chiropractor adjusts(specific directional spinal manipulation) the joints of the region of pain and/or spasm, that there is a depolarization of the mechanoreceptors that are located in the facet joint capsular ligaments, and that the cycle of pain and/or spasm can be neurologically aborted. This is why many patients feel better after they receive specific joint manipulation from a chiropractor following an episode of increased pain and/or spasm. -So Many Patients Suffer From? -A good explanation is found from Gunn (1978, 1980, 1989). He refers to this type of pain as super sensitivity. -The super sensitivity type pain is a residual of the scarring or the fibrosis that was created by the injuries sustained in this accident. -Gunn, C.

Chan Gunn, (1985). -Kellett, John, "Acute soft tissue injuries-a review of the literature," Medicine and Science of Sports and Exercise, American College of Sports Medicine, Vol. 18 No.5, (1986), pp 489-500. -Kirkaldy-Willis, W.H., M.D., & Cassidy, J.D.,"Spinal Manipulation in the Treatment of Low-Back Pain," Can Fam Physician, (1985), 31:535-40. -Stonebrink, R.D., D.C., "Physiotherapy Guidelines for the Chiropractic Profession," ACA Journal of Chiropractic, (June1975), Vol. IX, p.65-75. -Developed by Bread for the World, provides statistics on both domestic and international malnutrition including the sources of the data.

We didn't have to feel homesick at all. I liked this about the summer school. I finally got to learn something that we don't do at our university. Certain aspects of the studies that I didn'd like back home before coming, I actually enjoyed. Some of my friends were like truely jealous about the fact that I can come. And I am like they should definitely come next year if they can." -"I didn't really have any specific expectations coming to this school but I think even if I did they would have surpassed them all. I mean just the amount of effort and time all the oganizers put in to make you feel comfortable and at home from the beginning is amazing. I actually study Laser Physics so I didn't really have a lot of knowledge about the topics that would be coming. But I still learned so much and all the lecturers and speakers are really open to discussions and questions which is great. It's a really full-rounded program, not only academically but also culturally. It is just a lot of fun and the month flew by." -"I am really happy that I did this program 'cause it was a nice opportunity to meet other students from around the world. And it also provided a nice introduction to String Theory and Particle Theory which I wouldn't get to learn till a little later." -"I got to spend four beautiful weeks in this city with oher students from eleven different nationalities. We also had a lot of extra curricular activities. We had a day trip to Lübeck, a day trip to Berlin, classes on German culture and German language. For me it was the whole experience. Learning about German culture together with very strong physics education." -Ejection port cover kit for AR15 Upper Receivers.

What approach has developers taken with this problem? -You could of course have a look at the existing routing engines which you don't want to use, each of which have solved that problem in one way or the other. -The question that you have been linked to in the post you reference above actually contains the answer.

Overwhelmed by the part she played, her whole life has been poisoned by guilt. Then, out of nowhere, Lemon arrives on her doorstep. An old friend of her mother’s, he wants to revisit the events leading to that terrible night, forcing Jinx to finally confront her past, and offering her the possibility of redemption alongside the pain of remembrance. Estranged from her husband and detached from her son, Jinx knows that this is her only chance to make her confession and end the emotional paralysis that has blighted her life. -But Lemon has his own secrets to share, and over the course of one weekend they unravel an unforgettable family drama, stoked with violence and passion. Rich with voices from East London and the West Indies, Edwards’s narrative is delivered with a unique and uncompromising bite that announces a new talent in British fiction. -Some time ago there was a discussion about iPhone’s ring/silent switch and the way it does not mute some of sounds. Namely, it doesn’t mute timers and alarms, music and video. So only the sounds you don’t control and don’t explicitly ask for (i. e. calls, texts, emails, other notifications) are muted. Turns out, some people don’t like this behavior and would prefer the switch to just mute everything. I’m with Guy English here: I don’t want anyone but the alarm clock to wake me up. -But some say, well, if it’s a matter of personal preference, why couldn’t this have been optional? Obviously, there’s already way too much stuff in Settings app and adding even more options is a bad idea. And Apple is famous for not liking options. But there’s a reason, I’ve found, why adding this option would be a particularly bad one. -On a MacBook there’s no way to choose what it does when you close the lid, it just goes to sleep. On Windows notebook this is a matter of user preference. Some prefer their machines to continue working after being closed, and it makes sense if you want to, say, download an HD movie overnight. Why not add this setting on a Mac? -As a Mac user I would not welcome this setting. Having no choice means closing the lid is a reliable way to sleep my notebook. I just close it, I don’t have to double check before putting it into a bag. It won’t drain my battery or overheat just because I forgot to change the stupid setting. It will go to sleep (there are some smart exceptions which are irrelevant in this discussion). On Windows you are never sure. You can’t rely on a notebook to do the right thing. You have to double check every time. -If there were a way to choose whether ring/silent switch mutes all sounds or just calls and notifications, I’d never be sure my alarm would wake me up. I would have to double check this setting every time. And one day I will oversleep and miss an important meeting. Who would be to blame? -So sometimes “optional” means “unreliable”. I wonder if readers could provide more examples of this. -It’s been a slow couple of weeks on the blog because I’ve been busy with a few projects, plus work and life in general sometimes interferes. I’m still reading, or rather listening, but haven’t had much time for writing or commenting. Even Weekend Birding has taken a break, and that rarely happens. -A couple of new additions this week, both non-fiction. -Dataclysm: Who We Are by Christian Rudder from Crown. -In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette by Hampton Sides from Random House Audio. -A white-knuckle tale of polar exploration and survival in the Gilded Age. -Both books look very intriguing in different ways. -Both very interesting, but what pretty flowers! -I’ll bet the Rudder book is very interesting (and would probably make me a little anxious, ha). -I’ve only read one Sides book – The Ghost Soldiers – but I really liked it. I’ve got to get going on another one. -This will be my first book by the author, but I’ve seen so many glowing reviews about his writing that I wanted to give this a go. And if I’m going to read about ice and snow, it needs to be well before winter arrives! -I am intrigued by Dataclysm…thanks for sharing…and I love the way you’ve arranged them with the flowers. -Thanks! My flowers are one of the many reasons I love summer. -I am curious about Dataclysm. Enjoy both of your new reads. -In The Kingdom of Ice looks very interesting. -Lovely photo of your new books! I’ve also been taking break from blogging this summer. -They both sound good and I hope you enjoy them! -For some reasons, I don;t think these would be for me. Hope you love them though. -On April 4, 1975, Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded Microsoft. The small firm used to develop and sell BASIC interpreters. Little did they know that in the next 40 years, their company will become the biggest software firm in the world, and also bag the title for one of the most valuable companies. -Today, there is a little bit of Microsoft in everybody’s life. Whether it is the desktop computer where Microsoft’s Windows has about 90 percent market share or the company’s Office which is unarguably the best productivity suite available. Maybe you are into gaming and own an Xbox One, or your company relies on Azure cloud services. -In the last 40 years, Microsoft -- which once used to sell program language interpreters -- has expanded into several categories, and now makes full-fledged operating systems for not just desktop computers, but smartphones, gaming consoles, servers, as well as Internet of Things devices. Surface tablets and Xbox consoles show the company’s side interest in developing its own hardware modules. -"Early on, Paul Allen and I set the goal of a computer on every desk and in every home. It was a bold idea and a lot of people thought we were out of our minds to imagine it was possible. It is amazing to think about how far computing has come since then, and we can all be proud of the role Microsoft played in that revolution", Gates wrote in an email sent to all Microsoft employees yesterday. -"In the coming years, Microsoft has the opportunity to reach even more people and organizations around the world. Technology is still out of reach for many people, because it is complex or expensive, or they simply do not have access. So I hope you will think about what you can do to make the power of technology accessible to everyone, to connect people to each other, and make personal computing available everywhere even as the very notion of what a PC delivers makes its way into all devices", Gates noted. -"Under Satya's leadership, Microsoft is better positioned than ever to lead these advances. We have the resources to drive and solve tough problems. We are engaged in every facet of modern computing and have the deepest commitment to research in the industry. In my role as technical advisor to Satya, I get to join product reviews and am impressed by the vision and talent I see. The result is evident in products like Cortana, Skype Translator, and HoloLens -- and those are just a few of the many innovations that are on the way". -And this attitude was the reason Windows Phone 7 -- arguably Microsoft's first real take on a mobile operating system-- wasn’t released until 2010. By this time, iPhone had showed its dominance in the world, and Google was upping the ante with Android. Windows Phone is still struggling to gain any substantial market share. The mobile platform still has a wide "app-gap" problem, though the company seems to have found a couple of ways to fix it. -But one of the most exciting things that happened in the company was its decision to open up. Under Nadella, Microsoft finally accepted that it doesn’t have a significant user base in smartphones. The company realized that if it didn't open up to rival platforms, it would miss out on a lot of users. And that’s one of the first things Nadella did after taking the charge of the company. Microsoft launched Office on iOS. Until then Office was only available on Windows, Windows RT, and Windows Phone, and a half-baked mobile version on Android. -The move received an overwhelming response from users, resulting in Office apps -- Word, Excel and PowerPoint -- top the app chart in within 24 hours of their release on the platform. Late last year, the company made premium access to the Office suite free on iOS and Android. Office for iOS was in the works at Microsoft for a long time, but Ballmer used to prioritize its products on Windows devices first. Nadella evidently changed that. -"We have accomplished a lot together during our first 40 years and empowered countless businesses and people to realize their full potential. But what matters most now is what we do next", Gates writes in his email. Microsoft does have a lot of things to look forward to in the coming months and years. Later this year, Microsoft will release Windows 10 for desktop computers, as well as smartphones, IoT devices and Xbox One. In the coming months, Microsoft will also release the next iteration of its productivity suite, Office 2016. For the first time, the company is simultaneously releasing Office on OS X and Windows. -Additionally, Microsoft has showcased a number of products that could change the way we compute and interact with technology. Its augmented reality headset HoloLens is just one example. It will be interesting to see what the company does next and how things work out for it in the coming years. -1 result(s) found for: 2016-000912-13.

While you currently can’t technically style previous sibling elements, I’ve figured out a pretty handy workaround. -Suppose you have a progress bar with steps that you want to style. You want the active step to be highlighted and all the steps before it as well (to denote that those steps are completed). Prettying up the active step is easy, but how do you handle the previous steps? You actually style the previous steps by styling the following steps. -Let me show you what I mean…. -First, let’s get our step navigation built and styled. -The HTML is simply an unordered list with five list items – the first of which has an “active” class. The line between them is actually one solid line that goes behind all of the steps, added using the CSS “:before” pseudo-element and positioning it in place. -Now that the HTML and basic CSS are in place, we can think about how to style the active and completed steps. -You could change the active class of these steps in many different ways, but I’m going to keep it simple for this example. -When you click on one of the steps, the “active” class is removed from all of them and then re-added to the one that was clicked. -Again, you could change this class position in many, many different ways, but I’m trying to keep it simple. -Here’s the real secret to this whole process: you actually need to style the steps following the “active” step, not the previous ones. -Using the “~” sibling selector, we can style all the elements after the “active” element. All we need to do is style ALL of the elements as though they’re active, and then go back and style all the elements after the “active” one as though they are the normal state. -This is exactly what I did (although a bit more complex) with my CSS-only star rating pen. -Unlocking student talent is an approach to personalizing learning? In brief, it’s about putting kids first by giving them “voice and choice” in their own learning. Integrated into the 21st Century classrooms of differentiated learning that vary the “pace and face” of instruction to target the individualized differences. These purposefully-designed student-centered classrooms, encapsulate the accepted concept of personalizing learning. It is when these three components intersect, differentiation, individualization and student-centeredness.This is the next generation of the differentiated classroom and the added refinements are clearly outlined: Personalized learning adapts a metacognitive approach that fosters self-direction, self- monitoring and self-evaluation. In essence, personalized learning is student ownership. However, this new model is guided by motivating factors that ignite, invigorate and instill the learning, as well as fostering, metacognitive, reflective, coaching and feedback. Personalized learning means greater student achievement through self-determined change (interests), challenge (goals) and choice (methods). In short, the thrust is to engage students in ways that they become the “stewards of their own learning”. -How do we prepare our students for the test of life? We teach them how to learn when they are not being taught! In other words, we give them the gift of self-reflection, self-awareness, self-initiative, self-direction, self-assessment and self-regulation – the gift of knowing when they know, and when they don’t know. Metacognition: The Neglected Skill Set for Empowering Students, is written with the teacher in mind. It is more practical than theoretical, but most definitely grounded in research findings and connected to emergent data. With the 30 ready-to-use metacognitive strategies in this book, teachers will deepen learning for their students through explicit reflections on planning, monitoring and evaluating their own work. As students learn how to “think about their own thinking”, they become more aware and, thus, better able to make adjustments on their own work. They gain a sense of ownership, and teachers get results they can count on through students empowerment. Metacognition is like magic for 21st century classrooms – it changes student behaviors before your eyes. -Thinking About Thinking in IB Schools: How We Know What We Know. -The quintessential question, “How do we know what we know?” seems to drive the quest for high performing learners to learn more, dig deeper, explore, investigate and in the end, be able to validate and justify. With rigorous principles paralleling the International Baccalaureate curriculum framework, (as well as other recognized curriculum frameworks) drive that inquiry. While “knowledge comes on the coattails of thinking, the Theory of Knowledge approach extends this, as students dig into the evidence-based scenarios about, ”How we know what we know”. This professional learning enhances the work of students with the depth and breath of mega-thinkers. It supports the remarkable curriculum work, with complementary discussions and exercises that provide that added, oomph! Grounded in principles of curiosity, confidence, connectedness, reasoning, communication, reflection and open-mindedness, practical threads of thinking, practicing and performing are ever-present. Empower students with lifelong skills that will impact every sector of their lives. -Real world application drives 21st Century, academic learning. In this generation, students don’t learn to do they do to learn. They live in a fast-paced society and are impatient with the slow and steady rhythm of the traditional classroom. How do significant curriculum shifts toward a more relevant, rigorous, inquiry-oriented approach occur within this assessment-driven culture? How do teachers guide kids to dig into authentic problems? How do they support “high-tech” applications in a digital-rich classroom? How do they foster collegial, “high-touch” teamwork on projects and papers? How do they challenge students with rigor in “high-thought” explorations, investigations, and experimentations? “The times, they are a changing”, and they are changing at breakneck speed. How do we, as leaders, retool schools to meet the challenges in relevant ways? -Nuggets of info and some great tools . . .the takeaway strategies that can be applied in the classroom immediately w/o a lot of changes to lessons will be all helpful in adding deeper critical thinking. Joey Dale, Middle School. -It's time to transform instruction with enriched Problem-based Learning in a Nutshell Here is the big secret about PBL . . . It’s not that complicated! Moving toward relevance in the curriculum that uses 21st Century, real-world applications, student inquiry models are front and center-problem-based, project, and service learning experiences are among the most frequently cited. It’s efffective to get started with tools already familiar to teachers today: graphic organizers, essential questions, rich and relevant content, rigorous thinking skills, digital-rich tools for searching and researching, collaborative team work and presentation skills. Simply put: PBL is like DIY (Do It Yourself) projects- Do It-to-Learn-It, 21st Century methodology, rather, than Learn It-to-Do-It, 20th Century traditions. -Great job of not being an educational “expert” yet, being an entertaining presenter. Wish more people had you background and experience to share with teachers. Alice McKay, High School English. -Using the Three Story Intellect to assure teachers that students are moving through the three levels of thinking-gathering, processing and applying, students learn to think more deeply. As they become more aware of their thinking, confidence increases dramatically, and the shift from the teacher-directed classroom environment to a student-centered culture of respect, responsibility and reliability is the ultimate goal. Learn how to teach kids to think, critically and creatively. Help students begin earlier, rather than later, to adapt self-dispositions of mindfulness that prepare them for test of life. Grounded in 21st Century thinking processes: productive problem solving, mindful decision-making and creative innovation, students develop awareness and control of their own actions, words and deeds. (Can substitute DOK’s or Bloom’s Taxonomy to align to district). -First and foremost, Robin and Brian, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You really provided a new set of eyes for our Instructional Leaders. Your professional learning engagement is literally the TALK OF THE TOWN TODAY! Folks have actually thanked me for PD, which in my world, does not happen all that often!!! Even have Administrators asking for professional books/resources for their toolboxes!!! Talk about "use the next day strategies!" Saw it in action for myself today! Here is how you know that you hit a home run...we held a mini-conference today and the presenters left your session on yesterday and went back and reworked their presentations for today.Marcella Heyward-Evans, EdD Chief Instructional Officer. -Who’s Doing the Talking: Is the Brain Engaged? -Invite! Excite! Ignite! is about that mysterious, magical, confounding, frustrating, exhilarating, important, and misunderstood profession of the classroom teacher. Three million teachers currently work with 50 million students in US k12 classrooms. NCES.Gov, 2015. Among these dedicated teachers, many find that their most valuable help, often comes from other teachers, the teacher across the hall or down the wing a ways, or through chance meetings in the teacher workroom. This book is for them. It consists of ideas, strategies, quotes and notes from thousands of teacher-to-teacher interactions. -It was such a pleasure to see you work with our teachers last week. What a very talented and professional pair you are. I know our district's students will benefit from your shared expertise. I am so glad we found you.- Shelly Smede-Director of Staff Development Idaho Falls, ID. -The democratization of data is a real phenomenon, but building a sustainable data democracy means truly giving power to the people. The alternative is just a shift of power from traditional data analysts within IT departments to a new generation of data scientists and app developers. And this seems a lot more like a dictatorship than a democracy — a benevolent dictatorship, but a dictatorship nonetheless. -These individuals and companies aren’t entirely bad, of course, and they’re actually necessary. Apps that help predict what we want to read, where we’ll want to go next or what songs we’ll like are certainly cool and even beneficial in their ability to automate and optimize certain aspects of our lives and jobs. In the corporate world, there will always be data experts who are smarter and trained in advanced techniques and who should be called upon to answer the toughest questions or tackle the thorniest problems. -Last week, for example, Salesforce.com introduced a new feature of its Chatter intra-company social network that categorizes a variety of data sources so employees can easily find the people, documents and other information relevant to topics they’re interested in. As with similarly devised services — LinkedIn’s People You May Know, the gravitational search movement, or any type of service using an interest graph — the new feature’s beauty and utility lie in its abstraction of the underlying semantic algorithms and data processing. -The problem, however, comes when we’re forced to rely on these people, features and applications to decide how data can affect our lives or jobs, or what questions we can answer using the troves of data now available to us. In a true data democracy, citizens must be empowered to make use of their own data as they see fit and they must only have to rely apps and experts by choice or when the task really requires an expert hand. At any rate, citizens must be informed enough to have a meaningful voice in bigger decisions about data. -The good news is that there’s a whole new breed of startups trying to empower the data citizenry, whatever their role. Companies such as 0xdata, Precog and BigML are trying to make data science more accessible to everyday business users. There are next-generation business intelligence startups such as SiSense, Platfora and ClearStory rethinking how business analytics are done in an area of HTML5 and big data. And then there are companies such as Statwing, Infogram and Datahero (which will be in beta mode soon, by the way) trying to bring data analysis to the unwashed non-data-savvy masses. -Combined with a growing number of publicly available data sets and data marketplaces, and more ways of collecting every possible kind of data — personal fitness, web analytics, energy consumption, you name it — these self-service tools can provide an invaluable service. In January, I highlighted how a number of them can work by using my own dietary and activity data, as well as publicly available gun-ownership data and even web-page text. But as I explained then, they’re still not always easy for laypeople to use, much less perfect. -Statwing spells out statistics for laypeople. -Can Tableau be data’s George Washington? -This is why I’m so excited about Tableau’s forthcoming IPO. There are few companies that helped spur the democratization of data over the past few years more than Tableau. It has become the face of the next-generation business intelligence software thanks to its ease of use and focus on appealing visualization, and its free public software has found avid users even among relative data novices like myself. Tableau’s success and vision no doubt inspired a number of the companies I’ve already referenced. -Assuming it begins its publicly traded life flush with capital, Tableau will not just be financially sound — it will also be in a position to help the burgeoning data democracy evolve into something that can last. More money means being able to develop more features that Tableau can use to bolster sales (and further empower business users with data analysis), which should mean the company can afford to also continually improve its free service and perhaps put premium versions in the hands of more types of more non-corporate professionals for free. -Tableau is already easy (I made this) — but not easy enough. -The bottom-up approach has already proven very effective in the worlds of cloud computing, software as a service and open-source software, and I have to assume it’s a win-win situation in analytics, too. Today’s free users will be tomorrow’s paying users once they get skilled enough to want to move onto bigger data sets and better features. But the base products have to be easy enough and useful enough to get started with, or companies will only have a lot of registrations and downloads but very few avid users. -And if Tableau steps ups its game around data democratization, I have to assume it will up the ante for the company’s fellow large analytics vendors and even startups. A race to empower the lower classes on the data ladder would certainly be in stark contrast to the historical strategy of building ever-bigger, ever-more-advanced products targeting only the already-powerful data elite. That’s the kind of revolution I think we all can get behind. -Feature image courtesy of Shutterstock user Tiago Jorge da Silva Estima. -Great article Derrick – appreciating your work on the topic here on GigaOm. -We’re seeing wider availability of reasonably priced BI and visualization software tools to help us understand that harnessing all this data is possible – and I think even consumers are beginning to understand the value of all the data, and the ability to make meaning from it. One part of the puzzle that’s missing from what I can see is the education – knowledge transfer of how individuals can use the tools, what good data science methods are, and how data citizens can actively contribute to the larger data analysis community. I see movements like the Open Data/Open Gov folks, and events like the NYC Big Apps hackathon as part of the solution – but as individuals, where do we go to take part? What is the role of an informed, curious citizen in this? More venues exist for learning some of the ‘how’ to make sense of big data as an individual taking a course online, but I’m not seeing a vision from anyone talking about how to connect all of the dots. To make sense of data, we need the tools, the practitioners, the analysis of the problems, but we also need a vision of how all of these will work. If anyone has ideas of who’s got that vision, I’d love to hear it. -I feel one of the biggest impediments to the democratization of data is access. Most people know what they would like to answer, and how the data needs to be shaped to achieve that, but getting the data to do the actual analysis with can be one of the most difficult aspects. -This is a bit of a plug, but we’re working on enabling data access that is easily attainable by everyone. Our platform http://www.quandl.com is a “search engine for data” that is able to fetch time series data from a disparate sets of sources, and provide it in a simple searchable form that allows users to extract, validate, format, merge, graph, and share it however they want. -By providing the underlying data for analysis tools like Tableau, Statwing, and many others, we feel we can help to create the tool stack that empowers people to create a sustainable DIY data culture. -In every company I’ve worked at, I’ve seen this major divide between IT analysts and Business users. Part of it was cultural, but a major reason was as you point out: “a historical strategy of building ever-bigger, ever-more-advanced products targeting only the already-powerful data elite”. The business user typically was left to use Excel to prepare and analyze data. -It took 15+ years, but thanks to new players like Tableau, Spotfire and Qlikview which were sold primarily to the business user and focused on ease of use, the data democratization process has resulted in a power shift to the business user. Some IT departments have now come around and are trying to accommodate these “shadow IT” projects by providing IT support and giving Tableau users limited access to enterprise data stores. -As for upping the ante for the traditional players, it has happened already. Over the last two years, the larger vendors have responded with products like Visual Insight (MicroStrategy), Visual Intelligence (SAP), PowerPivot (MicroSoft), JMP (SAS) etc. taking aim at this segment of the market. The Big Data market is still new, but the trend to build user-friendly (or at the very least, SQL-aware) tools on top of Hadoop is also hitting its stride. -One good thing coming out of this data democratization is the realization that it has to be supported by a Data Governance effort. Otherwise we’ll see the unfortunate return of a major problem with data democracy: data chaos. Previously it would have meant comparing and reconciling two Excel spreadsheets, now we may end up reconciling the findings from two Tableau workbooks. -Thanks for the comment, and for making a really good point about data governance. Obviously, that’s not too big a concern for personal data use, but competing findings from lots of disparate data sets would be problematic. -Evaluating the benefits of digitising its menu boards, the John Lewis Partnership instructed Digital Media Projects Ltd (DMP), a technology company based in Harrogate to create a digital signage concept for its flagship Oxford Street store. Replacing typed A3 boards, diners visiting The Place to Eat restaurant, the Brasserie, the Bistro and the Coffee Shop now make their selection from 25 x 23” EX231W and two x 46” P461 NEC screens positioned alongside each serving section. The signage on these screens, powered by DMP’s digital signage solution can be created, amended and deployed from anywhere with an internet connection using their unique web-based Creator and CMS. -John Lewis Oxford Street, situated in London’s premier shopping district, offers seven floors of the best in fashion, home and technology, and is the largest of its 35 stores throughout England, Wales and Scotland. The Place to Eat, located on the store’s fifth floor, offers customers a superb panoramic view of the West End with seating for over 300 diners. Whilst The Place to Eat is a shopper’s restaurant within a department store, even the most discerning diners are attracted by the variety and quality of the food, accompanied by the high level of service synonymous with John Lewis. The Brasserie and Bistro on the third floor offer more upmarket meal choices with waited tables, and the fourth floor Coffee Shop provides a range of quick pick-me-ups for tired shoppers. -The retailer’s focus has always been on high quality and excellence of service, and they felt the digitisation of menu boards would not only create a more pleasant environment, but it would also allow them to make regular amendments and improvements to the choice of food served in the four establishments. Removing the reliance on printed materials meant they could react much more quickly to availability of ingredients and customer demand. -Before the digital signage system was installed, each restaurant entrance and serving area listed the day’s menu selection on a number of A3 boards. The production, distribution and fitting of traditional menu boards is costly. The boards at John Lewis need to be frequently updated to display the current menu selection to satisfy regular diners and reflect the changing seasons, for example, Mediterranean salads in the summer months and warming soups and stews in the winter. The menu selection available at various serving stations changes over to reflect the time of day, such as breakfast, lunch and late afternoon meals. -In discussions with the Head of Catering at John Lewis, digital signage specialist DMP and installer MVS Audio Visual involved NEC in order to identify the most appropriate display for the installation. The NEC EX231W met John Lewis’ expectations of image quality and reliability. The 23inch screens also matched the dimensions of the traditional A3 size signage which fitted within the restaurant environment. With 100mm 4 point VESA mounting and an ultra-light weight design, the EX231W allows for simple installation, from walls and ceilings in portrait or landscape to suit the location of the menu board. Low wattage LED backlight technology keeps power consumption and heat generation to a minimum. NEC NaviSet software enables centrally controlled asset management keeping maintenance costs to a minimum should the estate be expanded to include further sites. -A total of 27 NEC screens were installed by MVS Audio Visual throughout John Lewis Oxford Street. The solution consisted of 15 EX231W LED screens on the serving gantries and two P461 screens at the entrance to the Place to Eat, two EX231W displays outside the Brasserie and three outside the Bistro. Finally, six screens were installed in the Coffee Shop, three at the entrance in portrait orientation and three on the serving gantry in landscape. Each screen lists the appropriate menu selection alongside the price which is controlled and updated centrally by John Lewis through DMP’s web-based Content Management System (CMS). Strong contrast and appropriate screen brightness on the digital menu screens give diners a quick and easy reference from which to make their selection. John Lewis benefit from reduced costs associated with the production of traditional signage and huge potential by offering a more varied menu and special promotions, in addition to the ability to instantly react to market conditions and customer demands. -Get it right round you, you Ayr p***ks. -Keep it cool big boy. -It wasn't just the unadvertised £22 entry - it included a bloke on take at the turnstile.

Why not, so long as we score one more goal than the opposition and with that formation/team we could. -I thought Robson was poor last night until he went to left back. I might be tempted to go with Pawlett on the left, McMullan on the right, Robson to left back in place of Booth. Harkes was poor first half past night but that was uncharacteristic. He and Butcher are generally a very good pairing. -I thought you two at least would have picked up on the sarcasm. -I’m disappointed that you were being sarcastic. -Too subtle for me, I'm afraid. -Installation, Shipping & Collection Services. -© 2019 Art Collective LLC.

No matter how diligent your management team is, events may occur that are entirely out of your control. Natural disasters, maintenance issues, and even upset tenants can wreak havoc on your property. What you can control, however, is how you deal with these types of situations. -At RowCal, we know how critical it is that you maintain the ability to correct these situations. Before disaster strikes, you must proactively determine how to deal with it. Below are a few tips to help get you started. -A reserve study is a critical budget planning tool that allows you to identify the state of your reserve fund. By performing a reserve study, you can determine how you should allocate funds so that you may respond effectively to unexpected situations. Your property management company can assist you with this process and help you determine how to distribute funding appropriately. -To ensure you have adequate insurance coverage, you should always conduct an annual review of your policy. Be aware of your deductible and review which occurrences your policy covers. Many standard insurance policies do not cover losses resulting from floods, and may even exclude sewer backups or sump pump failures. If your policy does not pay for damages from such events, you will need to purchase additional coverage to avoid paying out of pocket. -In the event of an emergency, you need to know who you can trust to fix the issue. Whether it’s storm damage or major electrical outages, you will require general contracting services who will respond promptly. Your property management company should have a list of preferred vendors that they will contact in such situations. These companies are thoroughly vetted and have demonstrated professional, high-quality work. You should always know ahead of time who you will entrust with your repairs. Without a plan in place, you could fall victim to shoddy workmanship, or worse, an expensive scam artist. -You need an emergency preparedness plan, and RowCal is here to help you develop it.

The issue of body shaming has recently has been brought to light and people have actually started to address it. Many articles have been published against body shaming, specifically fat shaming, and psychologists have claimed that body shaming can induce depression in people and can actually lead to weight gain. Experts also request fat shaming to be made illegal because it does not have any positive effects. -There are a number of ways in which people are body shamed, such being ridiculed about their weight, height, facial features, and the list goes on. The concept of body shaming started with people making videos and writing articles that targeted people that do not fit in with the “perfect body” conjured up by society and glorified by the media. -Celebrities have been targeted by fat shaming for a long time now. Magazines have almost always been flooded with reports of celebrities that have gained a pound or two, shaming them for not fitting the so-called perfect body mould anymore, even if the pounds were gained from something as natural as pregnancy. -People outside the celebrity sphere have also become victimised, body shaming has stepped out of being limited to celebrities only and almost everyone is now considered game for this hurl of abuse. And it’s not only the media that’s body shaming anymore. Not long ago, offensive cards were handed out to people perceived as fat by strangers in London, the cards suggested how the receivers needed to loose weight and not be a burden on the NHS. Police intervention was required to put an end to the abuse. -In 2014, the NHS started an experiment where random people were chosen and were sent motivational texts over a certain period of time to help them get in shape. It actually helped people lose weight and adapt healthy lifestyles. This helped because the step was taken on a more private and positive platform. -Dove started a perfect “real body” campaign, their advertisement showed women of all shapes and sizes and it encouraged women to be comfortable in their skin and embrace their bodies as what they are. Victoria’s Secret also joined in and created their own campaign to a positive body image. These campaigns have had a positive effect of moving half of the UK’s population moves onto healthier lifestyles while ensuring they are still comfortable with themselves. -So maybe it’s time to let the body shaming go in 2016 and to spread positivity instead, motivate each other to be the best versions of ourselves and to love our bodies. -Continuing on from our last post with a list of some blogs to inspire you, we have created another list of really great blogs and podcasts for you to read today. -This article looks at the benefits of remote, unmoderated user interviews, where participants complete pre-determined activities when and where they would like, with the researcher reviewing the recorded session later instead of communicating with the participant in real time. -Getting started in your creative career can be tough so Mitch Goldstein, a professor of design at Rochester Institute of Technology answers readers questions related to beginning a career. -Today’s chatbots guide users through simple flows and the user research in this article shows that they have a hard time whenever users deviate from those flows. -The companies with the best financial returns have a bold, design-centric vision that’s clearly embedded in the top teams.

Zarif described these talks as friendly discussions over international issues, saying that this does not mean they are conveying a message from the US to Iran or vice-versa. -“The Omani King raised the views of the American side and other countries at the international level in his talks with the high-ranking Iranian officials and heard our views,” the Iranian foreign minister explained. -“And he may transfer these views (of ours) to the other sides in the talks he will have (with the Americans),” he added. -“This is the nature of bilateral and international relations,” Zarif stressed. -Meantime, he said that Iran and the US which have cut ties after the Islamic Revolution in Iran over three decades ago can transfer their messages officially through the Swiss embassy in Tehran which represents Washington’s interests in Iran. -Sultan Qaboos arrived in Tehran on Sunday for a three-day visit to meet with senior Iranian officials. -Sultan Qaboos, who was the first foreign leader visiting Iran since President Rouhani ascended to power, headed a high-ranking political and economic delegation during his three-day visit to Iran. -The Omani king left Tehran for Muscat on Tuesday. -After trying to get a balance between textures and line work I feel this is working much better than the originals. I redid the line work and background. Harsher shadows and a little glow, more subtle color shifts hopefully looking a bit better. Speed is still a problem as a lot of layers and time spent trying to make this look quick and fluid. -Our new Diedrich IR12 roaster is now fully setup in its new home. We have also finished work on our green bean store which holds all our green bean stock at a consistent temperature. Coupled with the same profiling software we use on the 1kg roaster at the shop which enables us to record every last tweak we do during the roast, this helps us guarantee consistency between roasts. The 20kg Classic Vittoria roaster in the front of the pic is a project for later in the year! -In view of the great potential of this plant for cosmetics industry, we dedicated an intensive research program, funded within the EU project, to the detailed characterisation of saponins present in different parts of the plant. The paper describes the first study of seasonal variations of surface activity of soapwort , collected in 2016 from the wild state in Poland. The plants were dried under different conditions and separated into roots/rhizomes, stems, leaves and flowers/fruits. The respective extracts were tested for the ability to reduce surface tension (crucial for the cleansing properties) and to froth (crucial for foaming). In the course of the study we have observed that during the plant lifecycle the surface activity of extracts from individual organs varied significantly. Since soapwort is a perennial plant, the changes probably reflect the saponin content alterations related to their production and storage in the plant for the next season. -Cystinosis: lysosomal storage disorders of unknown molecular defect, characterized by widespread deposition of cystine crystals in reticuloendothelial cells. -Cystinosis: A metabolic disease characterized by the defective transport of CYSTINE across the lysosomal membrane due to mutation of a membrane protein cystinosin. This results in cystine accumulation and crystallization in the cells causing widespread tissue damage. In the KIDNEY, nephropathic cystinosis is a common cause of RENAL FANCONI SYNDROME. -Cystinosis is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This means that Cystinosis, or a subtype of Cystinosis, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population. -Ophanet, a consortium of European partners, currently defines a condition rare when if affects 1 person per 2,000. They list Cystinosis as a "rare disease". -Cystinosis (medical condition): See Cystinosis (disease information). -The following list attempts to classify Cystinosis into categories where each line is subset of the next. -Note: These are the pages from the 2017 Nikon Black Friday advertisement.

This is how all markets should be – a riotously colourful offering of every type of fruit and veg you could imagine and more besides. I should really go to the trouble of writing about this but brain is porridge. -Planning holidays to the south of France at the moment and to get in the mood, I bought a headily ripe wedge of Brie de Meaux this morning. As a result, the car smells like an old man farted in it but it’s worth it. The Brie is at that stinky melting stage where you can just schmear it on crusty white bread and gorge. -I ate half of it. The other half is in the fridge. The husband will have my guts for garters when he comes home and catches the wanton stench of it (which will be at the end of our street, probably). -I had a quick look online for recipes involving brie but I’m not sure that anything beats the combo of brie and crusty French bread. Mind you, a turkey, brie and cranberry toasted sambo is pretty good too. -Incidentally, this site says Brie de Meaux goes perfectly with champagne, which would have made for a very decadent solo lunch had I known earlier. -Just finished reading an extraordinary essay by Rosecrans Baldwin, one of the founding editors of The Morning News. In it, he details a gluttonous, soused weekend in Paris, taking a few detours along the way to discuss cholesterol, bilingual children, conceptual art and the difference between a cocotte and culottes. -Good food writing should make the reader hungry and after savouring his article, I am ravenous and suddenly have a desperate need to go back to Paris, like I won’t be happy if I’m not on a plane there in the next 24 hours. -This application shows how to configure a web-based POS system including mobile POS system.

It can also be used for percussion and brass instruments. -A more direct sound - more directly from the amp. -I’m a student teaching students. -It wasn’t until my final semester at college when I realized that what I really wanted to do was become an ESL teacher. My only experience with people who had taught English in other countries were college students who did it for a summer job or missionaries who were “pretending” to be English teachers. -But for me, I tell people the reason I teach is for the “lightbulb”. It’s that moment when you’re explaining a new idea or concept to someone and there’s that moment when you can literally see they’ve gotten it. Like a lightbulb has come on. And when knowledge impacts someone, it changes them. -In 2008 after graduating from Clearwater Christian College, I volunteered with S.O.S. Ministries to go to El Salvador and teach English in a small orphanage in Zacatecoluca for 3 months. -After that, I began volunteering for some youth ministries in the US as well as working at a local high school as a Doorways Mentor as well as being heavily involved in the school’s drama department. -In 2010 I went to Xining, China with ELIC as a ESL teacher to teach and train local teachers for a 3 month summer contract. -I taught over 1,500 hours of secondary school classroom experience teaching grammar and advanced conversational English. -I started and managed an after school drama club, journalism club, volunteer club and English club for secondary school students. -I organized and conducted over 300 hours of teacher training seminars focusing on methodology, classroom management and resources. -I conducted over 500 hours of private English tutoring for children to adults seeking educational and professional advancement. -Towards the end of my 1 year contract at the language center I was recruited by another department of EF operating in Shanghai: EF Academic Partnerships, which sends qualified, EF English teachers to teach at local, Chinese universities. -So, in the summer of 2015 I took the summer to get my CELTA certification through International House in Prague, Czech Republic and then returned to Shanghai to start teaching with EF AP. -I spent two years teaching at Shanghai University; teaching subjects such as Academic Writing, Public Speaking and Western Culture. It was a challenging 2 years and I learned a lot. In 2017, it was time to move on and start a new adventure. -After receiving a job offer at the American School of Wroclaw, my partner and I moved to Wrocław, Poland in the summer of 2017. At ASW I have been working as the Primary Department Coordinator as well as teaching English and Social Studies to 4th, 5th and 6th grade students. This has been a challenging year and a half as I have taken on more of an administrator role and less of a teaching role. It has been intense and difficult and I have learned a lot about myself and learned from many mistakes but this time here has been a gift. I am thankful for everything I have been able to achieve so far. -Last May the Huntsville Master Chorale premiered my choral piece, Having Told the Hive the News (or “the bee piece” as the singers affectionately called it). Here’s a recording from their concert under the direction of Patricia Ramirez-Hacker. -Here’s the score for Having Told the Hive the News. The piece will be premiered next week by the Huntsville Master Chorale directed by Patricia Ramirez-Hacker. I was invited to introduce the piece to the group in February and had such fun working with the singers. I can’t wait to hear how the work has developed. I will attend the concerts and participate in pre-concert discussions. -The large amount of people likes to online shopping across the world.

As the “Bit” part of the company’s name might suggest, Bitqyck is the latest company to take a stab at the MLM niche of cryptocurrency. -For those that haven’t been following the MLM landscape that closely over the past year or so, the field of cryptocurrency has gotten insanely popular over the past year or so as a new means of making money and offering a new business opportunity. -Looking at Bitqyck, we’ve got a company that’s based out of Texas in the United States and has a co-founder by the name of Sam Mendez. -Sam Mendez is a name that might be familiar to some of you, and that’s because Bitqyck isn’t the first time we’ve seen Mendez get involved with the world of MLM. -The first reported company that Sam Mendez was affiliated with was My Shopping Genie, with Mendez showing up once again as the co-founder for this company as well. -Unfortunately for Sam, My Shopping Genie wasn’t around for too long as it eventually collapsed after a period of six months or of being unable to pay its affiliates. -Following My Shopping Genie’s collapse in mid-2012, Mendez went on to launch 15 Winks in 2014 — a opportunity that offered a dating app after buying in to a subscription plan. -Calorchi succeeded 15 Winks in 2016 as an e-commerce platform with a cryptocurrency element, but current Alexa rankings for the Calorchi website indicate that the company shut down around the second half of that same year (2016). -What Are The Bitqyck Products? -In regards to the product line that Bitqyck has to offer, the company does’t have any true goods or services that are being sold to retail customers. Instead, Bitqyck sells nothing more than access to its affiliate membership program. -If and when someone decides that they’d like to become an affiliate for the company, they will be given the opportunity to invest real dollars into Bitqy. Bitqy is the in-house cryptocurrency that Bitqyck has created, and affiliates are also able to generate sales through an e-commerce platform. -I tried to look into said platform to see just what it has to offer, but there’s currently not a lot of detailed information about it not he Bitqyck website. -What About The Compensation Plan For Bitqyck? -Members of Bitqyck are able to earn money by recruiting other individuals to invest their own dollars into the Bitqy currency and by generating sales through the company’s e-commerce system. -When it comes to investing money into Bitqy, there are three main levels of investment that affiliates have access to. Bitqyck calls these “product options”, and the first one sees members investing $199 in order to get $200 worth of Bitqy coins. -The product option above this asks affiliates to invest $349 to receive $400 worth of Bitqy, and the last level requires an investment of $499 in order to get a whopping $600 worth of Bitqy. -Commissions that affiliates have access to are paid out in two main ways, and the first has to do with investing money into the Bitqy coins. -Whenever a personally recruited affiliate of yours invests their own money into the Bitqy coins, you’re able to earn a 10% commission based off of how much money they decided to invest. -In addition to this, you’ve also got access to a matching bonus of 10% for any affiliates that your downline is able to recruit and get to invest as well. -The second main commission that affiliates are able to earn come through the e-commerce platform. -These commissions are handled in a very unique manner, with a 25% commission being offered to an affiliate who introduces a customer to the platform that then decides to purchase product from it. A 25% commission is also paid out to the affiliate that was behind the recruitment of the referring affiliate in this situation, and that same 25% commission is even offered to the e-commerce merchant and the customer that’s buying from the platform. -What’s The Cost Of Joining Bitqyck? -If you’d like to join Bitqyck for whatever reason, the membership is free to start out with. -With this being said, you’ll need to either recruit someone who invests at least $199 or make the investment yourself if you’d like to be considered an official affiliate for the company. -So, Is There A Bitqyck Scam Going On? -Have you been hearing rumours that Bitqyck is a scam? -So – what is the truth? Is there really a Bitqyck scam going on? -If I am being perfectly honest, Bitqyck isn’t entirely a scam. -Finally, My Bitqyck Review And Conclusion! -From what I can tell, Bitqyck is simply a relaunch of what Mendez tried before with Calorchi. -Looking at the company and its e-commerce platform from the perspective of a retail customer, I don’t see anything at all that’s very compelling. -Customers don’t care about earning money, they want to save money. Furthermore, if a customer decides they want to buy something form the Bitqyck platform, they’ll need to invest money into Bitqy. -At the time of this writing, Bitqy is not tradable on the public market in any fashion. This likely isn’t ever going to change, and with Bitqy not being a public cryptocurrency, Mendez can pretty much set the value of it at whatever he would like. -The requirement of having to purchase Bitqy in order to buy items from the e-commerce platform will quickly turn off any real retail clients, leaving the only interested individuals being affiliates who are looking to make a quick buck. -Affiliates for Bitqyck will more than likely spend the majority of their time focused on investing in Bitqy and recruiting others to do the same, and just like similar opportunities that have come before Bitqyck, the whole operation will start to fall once this recruitment activity dies down. -I really hope you have gained value from my Bitqyck Review. -I wanted to make sure you had all the information you needed, because most other Bitqyck reviews are just trying to sell you something. -If you really do decide to join Bitqyck, I want you to succeed with your business.

[Such contracts], also known as s.226 contracts, allow up to three times the initial annual annuity to be taken as tax-free cash." -Those wanting to maintain their entitlements and who are eligible for retirement could choose to retire before A-Day, but they may find that they have less cash left for an annuity. -The other factor that needs to be considered is retirement age. Under A-Day rules, pension scheme members will be allowed to take benefits from 50 years of age, but there is a strong disincentive for annuity contract holders. -Bellers explained: "Many s.226 contracts contain an annuity guarantee if benefits are taken at a selected retirement age which, before April 2006, cannot be lower than 60." -If the pension is taken early, scheme members may forfeit their guarantee and be exposed to prevailing annuity rates. -Click the button below to add the Walk In 8 Seater Pine Picnic Table to your wish list. -Easy to assemble for two people. -This walk-in style picnic table allows easier access at the sides and is ideal for home and commercial use.

There are some rules that are needed to be followed in order to give way. -First of all and most importantly do not panic. You should stay calm and check where the ambulance is coming from. Then give way by merging left if it is safe to do so. If you cannot move left safely you should slow down and let the ambulance overtake you. Never speed up or try to outrun the vehicle as this is dangerous. And you cannot break the law to give way to an ambulance. -It is an offence not to give way to an ambulance. The penalty is a fine and loss of demerit points. Here is an example of a motorist who did not give way to an ambulance while all the other cars moved to the left. The ambulance was supporting a little girl who had split her head open, but just because of one car nothing could be done. Reporters have interviewed the driver. He said that if they had reached the hospital in time, she could have been saved. Not everything was lost and the bleeding could be contained. But just because of one car a little girl lost her life. -With the increasing traffic on the roads, ambulances have a tough task in taking the patients to hospitals on time. A recent survey conducted revealed that nearly 18,000 patients who are transported in ambulances every year could be saved form medical complication if the vehicles could reach the hospitals faster. -More and more motorists in the busy streets of subcontinent and other major cities are refusing to yield to ambulances and firetrucks. This assessment is based on first-hand experience of volunteers along with a sharp rise in complaints from paramedics and firefighters. -Instead of clearing and pulling to the side of the road when an ambulance approaches, many motorists are racing ahead of it or following closely behind them to pass more quickly through traffic. -Even worse, some motorists simply ignore the sirens altogether, or leave their cars parked on narrow streets, creating a tight squeeze for large fire trucks and ambulance. -Nearly half of the emergency vehicles that hospitals receives each year are classified as high priority calls in which a person is suffering from chest pains, breathing disorders, heart attacks, trauma or some other serious condition. However unyielding motorists delay their arrival by precious minutes that often mean the difference between life, death or severe brain damage. -The bottom line is that people who don’t stop for ambulances increase the chance that someone who is critical will die because ambulance can’t reach them or get them to a hospital fast enough. -In conclusion, I would like to say that education about ambulance importance should be given by the use of pint media, electronic media, workshops, exhibitions and road shows. Last but not least separate road should be made just for ambulances. -M.Umar Iftikhar Malik, a student of class 2 wrote above mentioned content piece as submission of ICRC essay writing competition for 2017.

Knowing when to seek care for head injuries can mean the difference between a full recovery and a lifelong disability or death. -Dr. Paul Vespa, director of UCLA Health’s neurocritical care program, offers six tips to ensure the best care if you or a family member suffers what’s called a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. -Know the warning signs. Symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness or a lapse in consciousness may indicate bleeding in the brain that can turn deadly quickly. Consider these red flags to get the injured person to the hospital immediately. -Timing counts. Swift surgery or other medical intervention can prevent death and permanent brain damage from a TBI. -Choose the right hospital. Not every medical center offers the trained specialists and advanced equipment required to treat TBIs effectively. Make sure your loved one is treated at a hospital with a neuro-intensive care unit on site. -Insist on a specialist. Demand that your loved one be evaluated and treated by a physician who has undergone extra training to specialize in brain trauma. This is not the time for a general neurologist. -Understand the rules. Ask whether the medical team follows the American Academy of Neurology guidelines for treating concussion and TBI. These guidelines improve patient outcomes and increase the likelihood of a successful recovery. -Don’t forget rehabilitation. Patients recovering from a TBI often need physical therapy and cognitive rehab to relearn how to swallow, speak, walk, dress themselves and process information. Concussion patients also require careful monitoring and specialized treatment to enable the brain to heal and fully recover. -Declaration of conformity | FERONA Slovakia, a.s. -In connection with the accession of the Slovak Republic to the European Union, the amendment no. 134/2004 Coll. of Act no. 90/1998 Coll. on Construction Products, as amended, and Decree of MVRR SR no. 158/2004 Coll., which establishes groups of construction products with specified systems of attestation of conformity and details of use of conformity marks, as amended by Decree No. 119/2006 Coll., are entering in force. -procedures to review the conformity (so called modules) dependent on technical complexity of a product and a degree of its possible threat. -to keep documentation for a specified period to the extent defined in the relevant government regulation. -to act so that he avoids distribution of designated product that apparently does not meet legal requirements, mainly products that are not equipped with a given marking. -For a company FERONA Slovakia, a.s. is after accession of the Slovak Republic to the EU important that the conformity assessment legislation applies to launching on the market within the European Union, not only for the Slovak Republic.

When a special session seemed imminent on gambling issues, again, they made the same call, without success. -Now, Democrats have organized a last-ditch effort to use an obscure state law to poll lawmakers on their willingness to come back for a special session to address education funding. -State Reps. Shevrin Jones of West Park and Nicholas Duran of Miami said Thursday that they and 33 others have filed petitions with the Florida Secretary of State for the poll. This method of calling a special session circumvents the Republican Legislative leadership, who typically are the ones who must call any special sessions and declare its purpose. -Both Jones and Duran hail from the two counties, Broward and Miami-Dade, hit hardest by a change in the way the state calculates school funding this year, designed to direct more dollars to smaller districts. They, like the rest of the House members who aren't termed out, are up for re-election. -"In the aftermath of Parkland and the waning days of session, the Legislature took action for the safety of our schools," Duran said. "In our rush to do something we didn't account for the conesequences of that bill 7026 and now the school districts are facing those consequences." -Since the passage of this year's budget as well as SB 7026, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, school districts have been scrambling to comply with the new safety requirements as well as their normal operations. Several are considering raising local property taxes. -Democrats tried the same tactic after the Pulse shooting in the summer of 2016, in an effort to force a special session vote on guns. They failed to garner enough support to call the session. -This year's final vote on the budget was taken on March 11, the Sunday after the legislative session was supposed to end but it went into overtime after the Feb. 14 Parkland shooting changed the entire direction of the session and caused lawmakers to reconcile with issues like school safety and gun rights not previously taking center stage. -Jones was not present for the vote on the budget. He said it was because after the Legislature's official end date he needed to go back to his full-time job as the executive director of the Florida Reading Corps, a branch of AmeriCorps. Duran voted yes, along with many other Democrats who argued against the budget but who ultimately voted for it. -"When our members were presented with the budget, they were presented with something they did not like," Jones said. "But (some are) going to vote for it because there are some good things in there." -Despite the fact that Republicans have said repeatedly that they are proud of the investment they made this year in education, Jones said this poll at the very least will require every lawmaker to go on the record in an election year with their position on the current school funding levels. -It's unlikely the Democrats will succeed, but now that the Secretary of State has received Jones and Duran's petition, that office will send out the poll today. Lawmakers will have until noon on May 24 to respond, according to Sarah Revell from the Secretary of State's office. -Sandy Smith woke up to the annoying and familiar sound of the alarm clock. It was another day and the beginning of another hectic week. She rolled from her stomach onto her back and unburied herself from beneath the old, down-filled, pillows. Sandy reached over and pressed the snooze button in an attempt to steal five more minutes of peace. As Sandy stretched, she felt the pain, a stiff ache that had unfortunately loomed over her body every morning for quite some time. -Once out of bed, Sandy leaned over and tried to concentrate on making the perfect hospital corners. She slightly lifted the large, squishy mattress, and tucked the corners just right, trying to ignore her stiff muscles and joints. She shuffled into the bathroom and brought her toothbrush to her mouth. Hunched over the sink, trying to avoid the tired reflection staring back at her, Sandy brushed her teeth. Her motions were slow this morning, and she had no time to concern herself with a little pain. -"Here they come," Sandy thought to herself as she heard the pitter-patter of four little feet running down the hallway. The kids were awake, eager to begin the day. Sandy threw on a skirt and sweater, pulling her brown high heels out from the back of the closet. -"Ow," Sandy exclaimed. The pain in her back sent a sharp signal to her brain that the day was not going to run smoothly. She clomped down the hall to retrieve the hairbrush stuck in her daughter's long hair, and her feet found Barbie. Her heels had little traction and she grabbed the banister for support. -Realizing she was late, Sandy bent over to scoop up her 2-year-old. Her back seemed to yell at her, and she suddenly realized her toddler was becoming heavier every day. -After cereal and burnt toast, Sandy marched her girls to the bus stop and waved good-bye as she turned toward her car, angry with herself for sleeping those five extra minutes. She would have to face Monday morning gridlock and suddenly felt the beginning of a headache that would stay with her all day. -"I love Mondays," Sandy said to herself as she sat in traffic. She reached for her cell phone, cradling it between her neck and head. Her conference call would need to be conducted in the car, and her headache only worsened. -Thirty minutes later, Sandy pulled into her parking place. She sprang from her car, heaved her over-stuffed leather bag over her shoulder, and scurried through the office doors. -Sandy's Monday morning was filled with telephone calls and last minute deadlines. She tried to type and talk at the same time, constantly crossing and re-crossing the left leg over the right. She began breathing erratically when she realized her deadline would not be met. The lunch hour was approaching, and it suddenly occurred to Sandy that she had not taken a break all morning. Her computer screen appeared blurry and her wrists were stiff. -The remainder of Sandy's day was much of the same, and she could not wait to take off her shoes. After skipping lunch and sitting through meetings, Sandy drug herself to her car, threw her bag in the back seat and started the stressful trek home. That night, after the kids devoured dinner, Sandy longed for a long hot shower. The girls were in the bathtub, and she winced as she reached over to carefully lift her toddler onto the floor. By this time, her neck and joints screamed in pain and Sandy wanted nothing more than to climb into bed. -It was eleven at night and Sandy was finally lying down. Her bed and pillows did not seem comfortable, and she felt for only an instant that her neck needed a little more support. She drifted off to sleep out of sheer exhaustion. -Does Sandy remind you of anyone? The more stressful our lives become, the less we focus on the "moment." When we aren't conscious of how we sleep, breathe, stand, lift, bend or sit, our bodies can take a beating that results in lingering pain. We often avoid the early signs of discomfort we feel in our back, shoulders or neck until we are unable to ignore the pain. By reading the tips below, you can learn to make even the busiest days pain free. -When you wake in the morning, start the day with a couple of stretches. Stand up and stretch your arms above your head. Do the "hug your best friend." Wrap your arms around your body, and turn as far as you can to the left, then to the right. -When performing everyday routines such as brushing your teeth, remember your posture. Do not hunch over the sink; stand up straight. -Don't bend from the waist when you lift a child. Squat with your back straight. Keep the child close to you and use your arms and legs to lift. -Hold the telephone with your hand or use the speakerphone. Cradling the phone between your head and shoulder can lock up the spinal joints in the neck and upper back, eventually causing pain. -While in the office, make sure your chair fits correctly. There should be two inches between the front edge of your seat and the back of your knees. The chair should tilt back so you are able to rest while reading from a computer screen. -Many people suffer from tension headaches. Adequate lighting and document holders by your computer can help reduce the risk of a headache. Materials placed on a desk cause you to constantly raise and lower your neck while you're typing at your keyboard. -Do not wear high heels. The weight of the foot is not evenly distributed, which not only causes sore feet, but also added spinal stress. -Do not carry a heavy bag with its strap over your shoulder, unless you place the strap over your head on the side opposite the bag. Wearing a shoulder strap over one shoulder unevenly places the weight of the bag on one side of the body, potentially causing shoulder and back pain. Or better yet, carry a bag with a handle rather than a strap. -Do not consistently cross the same knee over the other. This habit can eventually cause misalignment of the spine. -Even if you remain sitting for the majority of your workday, you deserve a break. Get up from your desk and move around, stretching arms and legs as much as possible to avoid postural and spinal stress. Try to practice deep and even breathing to keep yourself calm and keep adequate oxygen flowing through your system. -Bath time can be fun for the kids but stressful on any parent. Make certain to bend from the waist and not the back when bathing your children. Use your legs when you lift your child. -It is important to get a good night's rest. Choose a comfortable mattress and pillow that adequately support the weight of your head and body. -Buy supplements and products for joint health and support. -Ultra Joint Health with Glucosamine and Chondroitin Liquid goes down easy and is absorbed faster. -Emergen-C Tangerine Joint Health has 1000mg of Vitamin C, 500mg of Glucosamine and 400mg of Chondroitin to support joint health. -Joint Health Joint Cream from Life Flo offers maximum strength MSM and glucosamine with Hyaluronic (HA) making it twice as effective as regular glucosamine. -Enzymatic Therapy's Cherry Fruit Extract provides a concentrated, 10 to 1, extract of Prunus avium.

Modern research has revealed that Chaparral's nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) has potent anti-inflammatory activity, possibly due to its ability to block the actions of the enzyme lipoxygenase. This enzyme creates pro-inflammatory chemicals known as prostaglandins; by blocking this process chaparral may be helpful for inflammatory conditions. -Glucosamine & Chondroitin are naturally occurring structural components that have recently enjoyed growing popularity. -Information for help with developing healthy bones. -Information and products for natural pain relief for arthritis. -Note that database object is a sqllite3.db encrypted and working (selects work). -Was the database encrypted using SQLCipher? -Can you provide a more complete code example? -This is a placeholder page for Steven Battin, which means this person is not currently on this site.

The last thing you want is a superb online training course that is certainly not clear-cut and leaves a lot of concerns for the novice. Both content designers and scholars need easy-to-use, effective courses that will provide the necessary training without a complete lot of confusion. -Include a navigation screen at the start always, even if the learners are thought by you have participated in online learning before. The navigation screen should have simple and clear instructions so any learner can easily progress through the course. Simply by making navigation easy, learners can give attention to the course articles. Up navigation free. Make sure students can easily go back to prior screens if they should review any materials for a good greater understanding. -Pay attention to the structure of each and every screen. Steer clear of cluttering screens with too much information. The screen should be gratifying to the eye and designed to draw the learner’s eye for the most important details. -Add a glossary. Never assume that the learners shall understand jargon, technical acronyms or terms. The glossary should be explain and comprehensive key terms in plain language. -Include frequent quizzes to check the learners’ understanding of this article. Instead of having one huge test at the final end of a course, it is better to acquire short tests for regular intervals through the course. Regular lab tests and quizzes are a way for learners to measure their own realizing and build their self-assurance. -Provide a good speak to person for inquiries. If the learners carry out have questions, will there be someone they can call? Ask one more man to check the program to see if this is practical. If you have access to content verifiers, they can point out virtually any content that is uncertain. Alternatively a pilot can be asked by you group of learners to go through the course. Ask them to present feedback on items they thought proved helpful, or didn’t perform. -Engage in continuous betterment. When you have published and released your course to learners even, there is nonetheless the opportunity to gather responses and make improvements to the course. You could incorporate some survey requesting scholars if there is anything they located unclear. This is an easy way for you to keep researching the learners’ mindset and to point out to your self that you are designing classes for real people. Spread your course successfully. -Ongoing education and keeping current with what’s happening in the real estate market is crucial in order to position yourself as the expert advisor that your clients expect. -Instead of spending hours researching the housing market, you can just watch this snapshot each month.

A true, mind settling experience that allows time for real conversations in a relaxing environment. Love it!! -Rated 4 out of 5 by MP22 from Very Pleased We've had our Vanto for a year now and love it. Use it at least once a week and really enjoy it over fall and parts of winter. So far, easy maintenance. Very pleased with our choice in spa. -Rated 4 out of 5 by Nick from We like our spa Very nice. Moderately priced. Easy to keep clean.Shopped many different brands before choosing Caldera and glad we did. -Rated 4 out of 5 by so Cal soaker from enjoying the bubbles... While I find the vanto very comfortable, the built in bromide and mineral system was challenging to monitor. Thought it would be a no fuss system... But after 5 months of constant checking and altering... I'm back to floating bromide tablets. Unit holds temperature well and is very comfortable. We use the spa frequently. -Rated 4 out of 5 by Tiki from We spend alot more time in the yard! We have a small corner yard. It was hard to entertain in, once we bought the spa that all changed. We have two children they love to have their friends over. Especially when the weather is cooler. At times there has been more than 10 kids in it. The boys have gotten very creative at making games for the spa. Together we have spent hours of family time in it. I often host a moms night w my girlfriends and whine which is always a hit. -Rated 4 out of 5 by Eaglerivertub from Vanto We've had the Vanto for almost a year. It has held up well to our moderate to low usage and all the knobs, controls and head rests have held up to four kids 5-11 years old. Water care was easy once we gave up on the bromine and went with regular chlorine granules. Overall a good quality purchase that we enjoy using. -Rated 4 out of 5 by Happyhusband from Deep Seats The one bonus for my husband is the extra deep seat. He is a big guy, so being able to actually be covered with water while he is enjoying it is great. -Rated 4 out of 5 by Mom22 from Water Issues My husband loves the new spa, but he does not need to maintain it! The Spa Frog does not provide adequate bromine even at the highest level. We were told, after the fact, that this is an issue with the larger spas. That means we need to add bromine tablets as well. Further more, the "Ozinator" only runs when the pump is running. This impacts energy efficiency because we need to run the pump 12 hours a day. Having its own power supply would have been a big plus. -Rated 3 out of 5 by hot tub chuck from Hot Tub The hot tub water is very cloudy and no seems to give a good explanation why. -Rated 3 out of 5 by 3boys from Disappointed Replaced an old hot tub with a Caldera and have spent the first year trying to keep the tub clean. For some reason the cleaning system does not keep water and hot tub clean. The place of purchase just keep selling me more chemicals. Hot tub looks good. We wish it worked better..very disappointed.. -Rated 3 out of 5 by scorjo44 from Happy My 1st. hot tub. Happy with it so far. Use it alot more in winter than summer. -Rated 3 out of 5 by JayM from Help Ok, got this spa delivered a few weeks ago so I could not hook it up right away due to the cold weather spell here in NY. I finally got a decent weekend and got to work. All new 8/3 wiring, 50amp breaker in the main panel, new sub panel w/a 50amp breaker, outside line in flex conduit. got all the wiring done and wanted to test to ensure connectivity before filling, I figured a brief light up on the spa panel...shut it off...fill it up and good to go. Not so much. Everytime I hit the breaker in the sub panel it trips. I went over EVERYTHING 3 times to make sure it was all done properly and it still does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated. Is there a dummy sensor in this...to save people from themselves? I'm at a loss at this point. Im a general contractor and have reasonable electrical experience along with this being one of many I have done.....but this is getting the best of me. -Rated 3 out of 5 by Brocko from Good at times I like my spa. However I have had trouble with it as far as the jets go and leaks. The service people have came out 3 -4 times and apparently cant fix it because they were ordering a part and it wasnt replaced. -Rated 2 out of 5 by Vanto from Rough start but we love our hot tub We sat in every hot tub in town and ended up selecting the Vanto based on the styling, comfort, and price. We had many problems with the unit over the first 3-4 months that we owned it from vacuum pressure sensors to the main control board had to be replaced. The service from the company we purchased the tub was not as knowledgeable as I expected. When the unit would simply not heat they came out and said the filter was dirty. We had only owned it for a few weeks and the filter was absolutely clean. Once a new vacuum sensor and control board were replaced we then had problems with the ionizer that we purchased as an adder. This is not a Caldera problem but yet another problem by the dealer as they installed the wrong size port. We have also had both heating element couplers break in a span of a few weeks. When this happens it spits water all over the inside of the cabinet, a huge problem in the winter months as this cabinet is un-insulated. The entire tub has to be drained to replace the couplers which means there is a real danger for the cabinet to ice up until the heater can turn back on. I remain nervous that this may happen again as the dealer could not offer any explanation as to why this happened twice in less than a month. Since all of these initial problems however we have had a trouble free experience with the unit and I'm in it nearly every day. I switched from the included Spa Frog bromine system to regular chlorine as it is easier to keep the water clean with less hassle and a smaller amount of chemistry. The only negative I would say is that our power bill went up $60 or so per month and we expected only $30. With the main cabinet being un-insulated it is no wonder that during the winter the heater runs frequently. I plan to add some insulation to the main cabinet to hopefully offset our high power bill. Everything else about the unit is great. It's comfortable, has enough jets and features to make a great soaking experience and we absolutely love it. Had we been able to avoid the initial problems I would rate it five stars for everything but energy efficiency. -Rated 2 out of 5 by bandit780 from 2014 tub We have only had our tub 1 1/2 years. The first month of ownership (Dec 2014) we had to drain the tub. All four foot jet chrome ring covers fell off. So we drained the tub, re glued them and refilled our tub. They have stayed on now. Spring 2015, noticed a panel on the outside of the tub where the lid lifter is attached is cracked. We believe that because of the unstability of the cheap lid lifter, it jerks on the lid on the opposite side that you are using to lift the hot tub lid.Contacted company we bought from at the end of March 2015. End of May we got a call that they will replace the panel(because its under warranty) but we will have to pay mileage for them to come and repair it. We live 75 miles one way from the dealer. Wow, really? Not happy with this situation and don't feel we should pay for parts that are under warranty and obviously defective. Dealer told us they had 4 of them with similar problem. -Rated 1 out of 5 by johndoe44 from Won't buy again unless Caldera provides access to parts I purchased my spa with the waterfall feature. This no longer works due to a cheap plastic part cracking. It also affects usage of the spa itself as water spews out the opening where the waterfall control should be. I can't purchase the part from the dealer and see no access to parts online at Caldera. It's easy enough to take the apparatus out and replace the part if I could get the part. To replace the part I have to purchase the entire $35 apparatus to get one little cheap plastic part which probably costs less than $1 to make. It just shows a lack of consideration for the customer to even produce the product with such a cheap plastic single point of failure and then on top of that to not provide a way to replace the part. -Rated 1 out of 5 by ProblemsinAlaska from Problems The first time using this 8 jet covers came off. To date 29 jet covers have been replaced. Within a month a large crack developed. I haven't even had it a year... nothing but problems. -Rated 1 out of 5 by ffmom from Awful Don't share with you that the ozone generator does NOT work continuously - only when the pump is running - NOT very energy efficient. Gave it away! Also the backflow valve for the ozone failed after 11 months. Service tech said this is normal!! -Rated 5 out of 5 by Joe from Vanto I am very pleased with my spa. I didn't think it was a good investment at first but I loss that discussion with my wife and today I am glad she won! -Rated 5 out of 5 by Vantovacationer from Should have made this purchase sooner My husband and I love the Vanto! It is large enough to fit 4-7adults comfortably and leaves enough room to access jet areas for a completely relaxing experience. The controls for jet speed and temperature are easy to use and reach from the cool down seat. The lighting and waterfall options are a nice feature but not necessary to enjoy this spa. -Rated 5 out of 5 by BunkyFourBeers from Worth every penny... Best purchase of my life. I wish I just would have pulled the trigger and bought a quality hot tub like this ten years ago, but I thought it was too much of a hassle to maintain. Man, was I wrong. Its so ridiculously easy. And to think of the good times I let slip by by not buying this earlier... Oh well, it mine now! -Rated 5 out of 5 by aamcz from Great spa Love this spa. The lighting features are great. It is easy to maintain/clean. And can use it with water temperature hot or cold. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Chuck from Vanto I could not be happier with my Spa. It works exactly as promised. We use it daily, it's easy to maintain, and inexpensive to operate. The Spa Frog mineral system is great. It took me a little time getting the water balanced but the directions are spot on. I'm using factory setting & recommendations and it works great. Thank you Caldera for building a great product. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Asiaf from Caldera Vanto We've owned our spa for a little over a year now and are still completely in love with it. It fits our lifestyle perfectly and is regularly enjoyed by our family and lots of friends. Would definitely recommend this spa to others! -Rated 5 out of 5 by Force22 from Vanto The vanto spa we purchased is great! Excellent product and great customer service experience. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Jim from YOU WILL LOVE THIS SPA! I shopped for spas for over a year before I made the decision to go with the Caldera Vanto. The reason I took my time was because years ago I purchased a lesser spa from another manufacturer and was disappointed with it. I did not want to make that error again. I am happy to report that the Vanto was worth the wait. The jets are very strong, the fit and finish are stunning and the quality is world class. The controls are logical and simple to use and the lighting is beautiful and tasteful. Water maintenance is a breeze and all is well on my little patio. If you happen to live in the Tampa Bay area, you should stop in and see Jerry at Tampa Bay Spas. He is a true professional and has a passion for hot tubs that shows in his enthusiasm for Caldera. This guy actually took the time to hand write instructions for my tub sanitizing schedule. I could not be more impressed. -Rated 5 out of 5 by themaroon from Incredible spa for the money We wet tested a few brands and just loved this spa so much I had to get one. It doesn't have the most raw horsepower, but it's unbeatable for its price range, and two seats do have some pretty good power. All of the seats are comfortable. There isn't a huge mix of hydrotherapy options. Every seat just works a slightly different part of your back. I'd love some more leg/side options. But at this price range it's hard to complain. I'm not a big fan of the Spa Frog. The minerals are expensive and not helpful for sanitation (and maybe harmful to the tub). Bromine tablets in a floater are much cheaper and equivalently good. I'm going to try rigging a floater to fit in the inline Spa Frog chamber since it's nice to have it out of sight. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Cabin Boy from Turned our summer lake cabin into a year around retreat For our 25th wedding anniversary gift to each other we built a patio on the lake side of our weekend cabin. After years of thinking about hot tubs we took the plunge and made the Caldera Vanto our patio's signature feature. Wow! I'm not the kind of person who typically enjoys sitting still. That changed with the Vanto. We spent hours and hours in the tub relaxing, listening to football games on the radio, gazing at the stars and watching the activity on the lake. We now find ourselves going to the cabin much more in the fall and winter so we can spend time in the hot tub. Even New Year's Eve included a sub-zero hot tub excursion. The Vanto has a great range of water pump speeds, fun accent lights and an easy to use cover. It has become a wonderful gathering point for our family. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Jo from Best bang for your buck!! Powerful, comfortable seats 5 very easily. Waterfall feature is much appreciated by young children, they love it. With this tub you never need to upgrade because it has everything and very easy to use no complicated buttons or complex programming. It's great in the winter too and the electricity bills are very low. Love it!!! -Rated 5 out of 5 by JVK3700 from We have enjoyed more family time together in our spa. The Vanto spa has been a good purchase for our home. It's attractive on our deck and quiet when running. It doesn't require a lot of maintenance or time to maintain. -Rated 5 out of 5 by j12 from Great Spa This is the second spa we have owned and the ease of the chemical frogs is wonderful. Our water never stayed as nice with prior tub. -Rated 5 out of 5 by JLW from Good value We have no complaints at all. Love our tub and use it most days. -Rated 5 out of 5 by aamcz2516 from Glad we chose caldera We purchased the vanto and we love all the features and ease of maintenance. We use it once to twice a week and we were expecting a higher electric and water bill but we didn't notice much change. The only minor issue we have is when we close the spa cover, the head rests at the far side of the pool (the side the cover sits while open) pop off from the cover rubbing against those head rests. It appears they do this because is looks like the top of the head rests are raised slightly above the pool rim. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan from Best money we ever invested for family time I did all the research to find the best spa for our money. This landed, hands down, with a decision to buy the Vanto Caldera Spa. We were looking for a quality spa with maximum seating, so this version without the lounger was perfect. The main reason we wanted a spa may have been different that others - we simply wanted a place we could hang out with our tween and teen kids without phones, tvs, or facebook! I can't tell you how many wonderful conversations that we have had with one or all of our kids that would probably never have happened inside with all the distractions. My husband and I have said countless times, after a significant conversation with a kid in the spa, that it was the best money we could have ever spent as parents. It also makes our house a more inviting hang out spot for their friends, since they all love to get in the spa as well. The best part is that it is always ready... no warm up time... so it is something that we or their friends can always do spontaneously! -Rated 5 out of 5 by MzrJoe from The best idea we ever had! We shopped for about four months before Lonny, of Crystal Pools in Elizabethtown, Pa., suggested the brand new Vanto model from Caldera. Despite not having a floor model to examine, we were familiar its first cousin, the Marino. This model had been number 1 on our shopping list. The only thing we didn't want with the Marino was the lounger as we did not want to give up a guest-seat. The Vanto addressed this concern. The good news is that because the Vanto is a 7-footer, my family can slouch in their seats and be as comfortable as if we had lounges. This is because there is something to press your feet against from virtually every position in the tub. Speaking of seats, each one has a unique array of jets. When my wife and I use it, we rotate between the seats, which allows for a varying set of enjoyable stimuli over different muscle groups. Not only do the accompanying foot jets provide amazing pleasure (i have a neuroma in my right foot), the bubble-shaped well helps users stay better-positioned in their seats. The lighting array is beautiful at night and the buttons which control the jets, heat, and lights are all very easy to use. The Vanto is built with very sturdy construction. If i were to suggest anything, it would be to add more color choices for the housing. One of my great concerns about owning a spa was a fear of chemical smell. But the Frog Spa system greatly reduces the amount of chlorine needed compared to friends who own pre-Frog models. After use, we feed the tub about 1 tsp of chlorine crystals and that does the trick. We keep the bromine on a 3 setting. These are pretty low doses of cleaning chemicals. Not does this GREATLY reduce the smells that I have hated over the years, but the fewer the chemical used, the less we are spending on them. We use the tub for about an hour to ninety minutes at a time and so far, our skin has handled all of this very well. The Vanto sits in a great price point and if you are in the E-town area, the folks at Crystal Pools are great to work with! -Rated 4 out of 5 by JR_AZ from Happy owner Well constructed, love the pressure and location of the jets. especially like the fact that different seats focus jets in different locations. the cartridge chlorine is a nice touch, although I still find I have to add chlorine manually which I thought was avoided with the cartridge. overall, highly recommend the spa to anyone! -Rated 4 out of 5 by My2dice from Vanto is good We like our Vanto a lot! We use it all the time!!! -Rated 4 out of 5 by R&S from Caldera Spa Owner We like our spa and the set up and delivery were great. I see the difference however in the jets. The action of them is less than what I expected. The foot massage at the center is also a bit in the way for most users. Overall good spa and quality seems to be good. -Rated 4 out of 5 by MM from We love our new spa We absolutely love our new spa. We especially love the foot sprays, which I've never seen on a spa before. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is because I wish there were an option to have all of the jets on low. Unfortunately, the only low option only turns on two of the jets, while the other two options have some or all of the jets on high. The jets are actually somewhat painful for me on high and not relaxing, but I love them on low. No biggie, since I can usually snag one of the two jets turned on when we have it on the low setting, but that would be a change I'd like to see perhaps. -Rated 4 out of 5 by RC from Vanto review Very happy with Vanto hot tub. Easy and simple to use and maintain. Local dealer very professional with install and providing me with maintenance tips and suggestions. Glad I went with Caldera Spas. -Rated 4 out of 5 by TheGolfer from Great hot tub Our old hot tub finally died. We purchased the Vanto hot tub and are happy with our purchase. The largest driver of the purchase was the value to tub provided. We rent our place 130 days/year and use it another 30 ourselves. Thus, we wanted a tub that was pretty basic, but appeared / was comfortable. We also didn't want to pay the exorbitant prices some of these manufacturers suggest. The Vanto met all those goals. -Rated 4 out of 5 by ronnAK from The Hut Tub is very good. I am very happy with the Hot Tub and the features are just what I need. My only reservation is the Frog system. It seems to go through the bromine cartridges very fast. After one week I get a low Br reading and there is still Br in the cartridge. I shake it and get another week out of it. I am seriously considering trying a Br tablet floating dispenser rather than the Frog.. -Rated 4 out of 5 by Krsweet from Good quality for the price Only improvement I would like is the ability to upgrade filters. -Rated 4 out of 5 by Jewel45 from Overall Happy Purchased the Vanto Series hot tub. Very happy with purchase and price. We use it almost every day in the fall, winter and spring! We emptied it for summer too hot here for use. -Rated 4 out of 5 by Mark from What is with those lights? The tub seems like the best one we've had in all regards except the lights. We either sit in the dark or put up with disco ambiance. Worst part? There are lights that sit above water level which are irritatingly in your eyes the whole time unless you just dispense with the lights altogether. Who thought that was a good idea? -Rated 4 out of 5 by NeedABetterMouse Trap from Have a mouse in the cabinet not sure how it got in - but the insulation from inside started to pile up on the outside... checked with our dealer and they said likely a mouse - plug any openings with steel wool and that should take of it - we will try it, but i don't understand how or where the would be a hole large enough for a mouse to get in or out? -Rated 5 out of 5 by HE from Very pleased We are very pleased with our Caldera Vanto Spa. It has all the features that we could want, the sitting set up is what we desired, and we are very impressed with the quality of the unit. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Aunt Sparky from Well Worth the Money We purchased our Caldera Hot Tub around the first of the year. My doctor approved it for knee surgery that I had, and actually wrote a letter approving it for my knee. We were able to alleviate the taxes on it. We have used it for 7 months now and absolutely love it! Very easy to use! We cleaned it for the first time a week ago, and it could not have been easier! The draining, cleaning, refilling did take most of the day, but it turned out to be so easy! We definitely recommend the Caldera Spas. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Bugs from A hot tub that is really Hot! We have owned this tub for one and a half yrs! Great value on a. Very good tub. Easy to maintain.quiet and great lights!

No problems at all. -Rated 5 out of 5 by WLMC from Great tub, but outstanding customer service We love our tub, but when we had a problem with our pump, what was even more amazing was the customer service that we received. They Watkins/Caldera group went above and beyond to help us with the problem. They are an outstanding company, I would highly recommend their products and their people! -Rated 5 out of 5 by Hap from Great Product We would not have made our purchase if it had not been for Cassidy Anderson's help out of the Clackamas OR store. Her knowledge of her product and the competition made all of the difference. She also offered us a deal that when compared to the other two brands we were considering was too good to turn down. We had an old Bullfrog tub and the massaging and comfort difference with the Caldera tub is like night and day. We would definitely recommend Caldera to someone considering a new hot tub. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Bugs from HOT TUB FUN Nice Tub.It was nice experience from the sale to install and use.I had an old tub that was replaced and this is soo good.Room inside the shell is great.It is the same size as my old one,but sooo much better,Lites and waterfall are a fun fit and care has been pretty easy with the canister system we use. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Rick from Our First Spa It is our first spa and it has been an outstanding purchase. I use it more than my wife because of a bad back, but we both have just loved it on cool or cold nights. The setting and the beautiful colored lights sets the mood. Living in south Alabama it gets quite hot during the summer months but that does not stop my getting in for all the jets and warming of my bad back after a day of golf or working in the yard. It is very beautiful and easy to maintain after just a little home reading and working at it. We love our Spa! -Rated 5 out of 5 by MangoMango from Good spa for the money, We shopped many different brands. The Vanto is a good value. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Lonn111 from Such a GREAT PICK!!!!!

A night in my hot tub before bed and sometimes I the morning before work. I am sleeping better and my back is feeling better. -Rated 5 out of 5 by mac_quad from Great tub...only a couple of issues We had our spa installed last year and thoroughly have enjoyed it, especially during the winter. I did not notice any increase in my energy bill this winter, and we had the spa constantly on at 103 degrees. The only major issue we have had was that the lighting system malfunctioned. Fortunately, it was covered by the warranty and the spa dealer spent a lot of extra time to ensure everything was operating properly. The lights have worked great ever since. One feature disappointment was that the waterfall is not lighted. It has the same light bar under the waterfall jets as other Caldera spas, so I assumed it was lighted like the other spas. I should have checked that out...oh, well I should know not to assume anything! Lastly, the chrome circular donuts on each of the smaller jets keep coming off. They are easily re-installed, but why are they not more securely attached? Overall, we are pleased with the spa and despite the issues listed above, we would purchase the Vanto again. -Rated 5 out of 5 by pianocrazed from Great Price and Great Product We didn't want to spend a fortune but we also didn't want a tacky cheap product. This hot tub was the perfect balance of cost and quality. It looks expensive, has all the right jets (particularly love the foot jets, and the adjustable back jets), has a few nice touches (like the lights and waterfall feature) without being extravagant. The water maintenance has been a breeze. We've got a pretty simple scheduled routine that keeps things nice and tidy, so the tub is always ready when we feel like hopping in for a soak. We highly recommend this hot tub! -Rated 5 out of 5 by SiemersSpa from Time with Un-Plugged Teens Our Vanto hot tub was a 20th anniversary splurge for my husband and me. We have never owned a hot tub, but were intrigued by the idea of unwinding outside together each evening - and decided this gift would be a longer-lasting alternative to a trip to Mexico, which we had considered as a gift to one another. We've been very pleased with everything about the Caldera model we chose. The unexpected part of our purchase was how it has enhanced time with our two teenage daughters. It has been fun to see how they look to that quiet time to pop in and connect with us - or even how they pull up a stool outside of the hot tub and catch us up on their evening as we sit in the tub and relax with a drink. The kids have enjoyed the tub on their own, as well. One night, we allowed them to host a "dive-in movie" with a small handful of friends - projecting a movie on the side of the house near the hot tub. They were pretty wrinkled by the end, but enjoyed the chilly night from their warm spot in the tub. One accessory we added, which we would highly recommend is the Bluetooth sound system. We didn't originally order it, but after turning up external speakers to try to hear them within the tub, we quickly understood the value of the built-in speakers, which project sound right at "ear level" inside the tub. This is a better way to keep the sound down, as we wanted to be sensitive to the neighbors. My husband is pleased with the sub-woofer which enhances the sound, considering the relatively small speakers. All-in-all, we're very happy with our purchase, and hope (expect) to continue using it as regularly as we do now! -Rated 5 out of 5 by Gordon from Terrific Hot Tub!! I've had a couple of hot tubs but this one is the easiest to manage and keep in good shape. I love the filter location and the way the filter rises and falls with the water level. I have 9 grand kids and they lOVE the spa. When they get out of the tub I simply add a small amount of chlorine and the tub stays clean. What a dream this tub is. -Rated 5 out of 5 by TimG from Ghormley Hot Tub Review We love our hot tub.

Don't wait buy one today! -Rated 5 out of 5 by Tim from Vanto....Excellent value We love our Caldera Vanto spa. Enough room for my teenage daughters to have friends over. It has been extremely easy to maintain with Spa Frog. I added the blue tooth wireless sound system and it made our experience even more enjoyable.

I bought the Caldera Vanto at La Costa Pool & Spa in San Marcos, and I am so glad I did! I was lucky to meet the owner who sat me in every spa until I found the perfect fit in the Vanto. This spa fits tall and short people and the jets are perfect. I put off purchasing a spa because I thought it would be too much work. But this spa makes it easy. It has definitely been worth it and I know I have a reputable dealer and product should I need anything along the way.

If you've never had one you will quickly find it's so much more than just a place to relax in after a hard day's work: the therapeutic benefits of the massage jets have worked wonders (and probably saved me a few trips to the chiropractor). It's great in the winter but just as good in the summer when it's warm out. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Ron from My hottub experience We thoroughly enjoy our spa. It is an awesome replacement for the first spa I owned. My only concern after 1 year is the chrome rings on the Jets won't stay in place. After each use we have to replace 2 or 3. It's not a big deal it would be nice if they would stay in place. -Rated 5 out of 5 by SJ from Great tub!

Don't miss not having lounger ( by choice) for more seating area. -Rated 5 out of 5 by DebN from Great Value We bought our hot tub, at the end of the model year, so we got it for an excellent price. Initially, we had some challenges learning to get the chemicals regulated, and occasionally it still doesn't respond as expected, but most of the time it responds as expected. If it doesn't it may be time to drain it and refill. Our heating bill went up more than expected ($50.00) per month(12 month average) the sales man told us $20-25 in the summer more in the winter $35-40. The cost of chemicals is also more than expected (again we listened to the salesman), we spent about $500.00 in the first year. The tub itself is great. There are a different number of jets on each seat, and the water pressure is different strengths when set fully on. The jet strength is adjustable at the 4 main seats. Also, 2 of the 4 main seats sit a couple inches higher which means someone with a long torso and someone with a short torso can both sit comfortably with the water at a nice height (when I sit on the lower seats the water is to my chin, but when I switch to a higher seat, it hits me lower on the neck). We have not encountered any mechanical problems in 15 months. -Rated 5 out of 5 by John from It's the best purchase I have ever made I have had other hot tubs in my time. but the caldera vanto Spas is the best purchase I have ever made because it is energy efficient and easy to maintain. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Happy from Beautiful spa This spa is performing well. It is an additional 150.00 per month on the electric bill and did require an 800.00 installation cost, separate from the cost of the spa. But we love it. We use it. We consider it a little bit of vacation every day. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Skibum from Why did we wait so long to upgrade !!! Fantastic spa, water care is SO easy, maybe it's our well water but it just makes it a pleasure to know that you can open the cover and get in! Uses much less electricity then our old spa did even in the bitter cold of New Hampshire winters. Very comfortable and easy to use the controls. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Roxie17 from Wonderful Spa We love everything about our spa! One of our favorite features is the audio being Bluetooth compatable with our iPod! -Rated 5 out of 5 by BG16 from Just What We Were Looking For We purchased this Vanto model in January 2015. My wife and I use it multiple times per week. No complaints; super easy to maintain. We prefer the bench construction over the molded and contoured seats, as it allows us to choose our own seating posture. Absolutely would recommend! -Rated 5 out of 5 by CRL3418 from great spa we have been very pleased with our new hot tub. Quality and comfort are excellent and the routine care is very simple. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Clearly from Amazing purchase!! This is a fantastic hot tub at a reasonable price. The jets are amazing! Kids love it too. During the summer drop it to 95 degrees the rest of the year crank it to 102!! Fantastic! -Rated 5 out of 5 by RH from Comfortable tub Relaxing and comfortable for 1 to 4 adults. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but was good value and provides a great place to sit and unwind anytime of day. -Rated 5 out of 5 by stevyb from Vanto review Great tub love it. Also very easy to use and maintain. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Ski from Love our new spa We we're looking to upgrade to a bigger house but instead decided to stay and get all the things we wanted for our current house. A spa was on that list and the Vanto is perfect. The four deep massage seats are amazing and I love that it also has 3 higher seats for when I don't want to be that submerged. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy A from Amazing Purchase I love my hot tub. It has helped me physically and mentally. I love relaxing in the hot tub after a long day. The jets work as well as getting a massage. I used to have tension in my neck and upper shoulders. No more. I used to suffer from migraines. No more. An amazing purchase. My family loves our hot tub as well. We spend time together as a family. This was an amazing purchase. -Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen007 from LOVE IT!!! My only regret is that I waited so long to purchase!!!! I love it, picked up a midnight job to purchase it!!! Worth every penny!!! -Rated 5 out of 5 by Peanut from Vanto Spa Review We have only had our spa about a month but so far love it! My only complaints....the light on the controller is on ALL the time. It dims but you cant turn it off. I don't like the waterfall feature so we just turn it to a trickle. Otherwise, the jets are great. The color is beautiful. I'm short so needed to find a tub that I wouldn't "sink" in but my husband is very tall so we had to find a tubi to fit both our height needs.

We’ve boiled down the deluge down to a tasty stew for you. -Early, leaked, test results indicated that Nehalem CPUs would be fast, and the more comprehensive data we are seeing now is backing that up for many applications… but not all. -And if you run multithreaded applications, you have a lot to be happy about. Modern synthetic benchmarks that push multi-core CPUs, and real-world benchmarks using software optimized to take advantage of multi-core, show remarkable gains from even the entry level 920 Core i7. -Hardware Canucks released PCMark Vantage numbers that show an almost 13% increase between the 965 Extreme Edition Core i7 and the previous Intel Extreme champ, the QX9770. Perhaps of more interest, even the lowly 920 Core i7 was slightly (just over one percent) faster than the than the QX9770. That’s pretty impressive if you figure the 920 is about one quarter the price of the older Extreme processor. Their numbers are in line with many other sites. -PCMark is kind of an across the board index; the differences are even more impressive when the workload is focused on the CPU. File compression (WinRAR), audio and video encoding (recent versions of LAME), pretty much any piece of software that likes lots of threads, or any large scale number crunching (even in Excel), is going to love the 8 threads that Hyperthreading brings to the new quads. -Cinebench, a very efficient multi-threader that tests the computer’s 3D rendering prowess (something notoriously CPU intensive), shows the 965XE ahead of the QX9770 by 31%, 44%, 32%, 30% and 36% respectively at Hardware Canucks, Techgage.com, Hexus, and Tech Report). Again, even the 920 squeaked out a tiny lead. -Core i7 is Amazing When All Cores Are Running, but How Do Single Thread Apps Hold Up? -In a word: Well. They won’t blow your socks off the way they will when octa-threading, but all reviews are reporting modestly improved performance from the 965XE over the QX9770 even if most of your threads are twiddling their transistors. For example, four of the reviewers mentioned above (Hexus didn’t include this result) reported increases of 7%, 12%, 10% and 15% when running the single thread version of Cinebench. -The breadth of the numbers is because some people tested with Turbo Boost on to show how the CPU would really perform, while others tested with it off so they could compare the QX9770 and 965XE at an unvarying 3.2 GHz. Turbo Boost automatically overclocks busy cores by 133 or 266 MHz when other cores are idle. It looks like the difference in single thread performance is due in almost even proportion to clock for clock (i.e.: both chips running at the same 3.2 GHz) speed improvements and the Turbo Boost overclocking. -The Core i7 improvements weren’t enough to keep the lower clocked 940 and 920 out in front though. The QX9770’s higher clock vs. the lesser i7s is usually enough to overcome its age when only one core is involved. Then again, it is a much more expensive chip and any one of the i7’s spanks it on a per dollar basis. -The real shockers came courtesy of Hardware Canucks and Tech Report who respectively included the E8400 and E8600 Core 2 Duos in their reviews. When you are down to one core, the massive clocks for little money these chips offer becomes very attractive. In single-thread Cinebench, the E8400 and E8600 actually rank between the 920 and 940. -The obvious question is: Who cares about how something runs in single thread mode if you will always use it in multi-thread mode? Fair enough, many if not most professional and productivity applications are meant to take advantage of multi-threading. Games though, are only beginning to reap these rewards, as revealed in the next article. -A startup founded by four former Microsoft employees has released a beta of a real-time malware-blocking tool that also bars malicious content from reaching PCs. -Seattle-based Haute Secure's eponymous malware/site blocker enters a market crowded with the likes of McAfee's SiteAdvisor, Symantec's AntiBot, Exploit Prevention Labs' LinkScanner and even offerings from Google. Haute Secure, however, is counting on a multilayer strategy to see it past rivals. -The first layer, said Steve Anderson, who heads the company's product strategy, is a kernel-level driver that looks for and stops executables coming out of the browser. By monitoring multiple Windows processes and services - nearly six dozen in total - the tool watches for malicious behaviour, then blocks execution when it sniffs something dangerous. "We're hooking API [application programming interface] calls to the kernel and watching for malicious behavior coming from the browser," said Anderson. -A second layer blocks the links from which malware is delivered, he added. That tactic is probably more familiar to end users, since it's the technique used by Google's blacklisting efforts, which will be the foundation of a new feature in the upcoming Firefox 3.0. "We're blocking at the site and the page level," said Anderson, noting that many domains have multiple malicious URLs. -Haute Secure, which is currently ready only for Internet Explorer users - a Firefox version will roll into beta next month, and one for Apple's Safari is due out sometime after that - stores the malicious site/page blacklist locally to avoid performance problems, and it updates blacklists several times daily. -The software also can accept multiple blacklist feeds, a characteristic Haute Secure is counting on to deliver revenue down the road. "The way the system is designed, we can take numerous feeds from multiple sources," said Anderson. "In August, we'll [integrate] Google's antiphishing antimalware API, for example. The bigger idea is that we want to be the trusted platform between the Internet and users or enterprises." -A bank, for instance, that already collects the addresses of sites spoofing its legitimate online service, could add its feed to Haute Secure to guarantee that customers who use the tool would be protected. -Haute Secure will remain free to download and use while it is in beta testing, a process that will run into September. After that, Anderson said, plans are less clear. "We may charge for using the malware-blocking feature, since we think link scanning will be more and more commoditised." Under that plan, the blacklist-based layer would be provided free. Another revenue possibility, said Anderson, is to sell a malware-scanning service to companies that fear that their legitimate sites may be hacked at some point and start spewing malicious code. "That's an interesting model, too," said Anderson. -Haute Secure's other principals include Iain Mulholland, a former manager of the Microsoft security response centre; Frank Swiderski, a security researcher and developer who once worked at Microsoft, @Stake and the US Department of Defense; and Rob Vucic, a former Microsoft security researcher who was cited by the FBI for his help investigating the long-running and wide-ranging Zotob/Mytob worm attacks of 2005. -The Internet Explorer add-on, which runs on Windows XP and Vista - including the 64-bit version of the latter - can be downloaded from the Haute Secure site. -Overall, refugee admissions during the 365 full days since his inauguration at noon on January 20, 2017 have declined by 70 percent from the previous complete calendar year under the Obama administration. -From January 21, 2017 to January 20, 2018 (Trump Calendar Year 2017), a total of 29,620 refugees have been admitted to the United States, according to the State Department’s wrapsnet.org website, the source of the refugee admissions data used in this story. -In contrast, from January 21, 2016 to January 20, 2017, the last full calendar year of the Obama administration (Obama Calendar Year 2016), a total of 98,898 refugees were admitted to the United States. -The most compelling aspect of the refugee arrival data for President Trump’s first full calendar year is the dramatic drop in refugee arrivals from the seven countries identified as terrorist hotbeds (Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Iran, Sudan, Yemen, and Libya) in Executive Order 13769 to whom the travel ban initially applied. -Refugee arrivals from those seven countries declined by 81 percent, from 45,114 in Obama Calendar Year 2016 to 8,475 in Trump Calendar Year 2017. -Ms. McGrail’s practice focuses on serving financial services firms and public companies facing civil litigation and regulatory enforcement matters, as well as counseling clients on compliance with industry regulations.

Dentists offer you a lot of services to help you both maintain the health of your teeth and improve the appearance of your smile. Having a healthy and pleasing smile can increase your sense of self-confidence. Also, proper dental care will eliminate pain and discomfort in your mouth, allowing you to eat and drink without negative side effects from your mouth. Here are some of the standard maintenance and cosmetic services you can get at a dental office. For more specific information on dental services available to you from a dentist, you can visit a website like www.genesisdental.net. -Dentists recommend that you have your teeth cleaned regularly—at least once a year, but preferably once every six months. At a dental cleaning, you will get your teeth cleaned deeply in order to get rid of the plaque in the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. At regular cleanings, your dentist will also identify any cavities, decay, or disease that may be present in your teeth or gums. Without regular checkups, decay may go unchecked and develop to a degree that requires extensive and expensive repair work. These regular exams allow your dentist to identify and get rid of any problems in your mouth earlier in order to save you money and work further down the road. -You can also go to your dentist for cosmetic services to enhance dental appearance. One popular cosmetic service is teeth straightening. People who have crooked teeth will often invest in clear or traditional braces to straighten their teeth and increase their confidence in their smile. Your dentist can determine how extreme your case is in order to determine the best process for straightening. In addition, many people choose to have their teeth whitened in order to reverse the everyday effects of teeth yellowing. Teeth whitening, like straightening, can help you enhance your smile’s appearance, which can make you feel more confident about yourself. If you would like more information on specific services and procedures available from a dental office, you can visit a site like www.genesisdental.net. -Mentoplasty and genioplasty are chin reduction and chin augmentation procedures collectively referred to as chin surgery. While chin reduction surgery aims at decreasing the projection of an overly large or protruding chin, chin augmentation surgery is designed to increase the projection of a weak chin to make facial features more harmonious and improve lower face contours. -Chin surgery is appropriate for adult patients who are healthy non-smokers and whose bones have completely finished growing and developing. Both men and women can benefit from chin surgery, and the procedure is often combined with neck liposuction and/or neck lift surgery to maximize contouring of the jawline, neck and chin. -For chin surgery aimed at reducing or advancing the chin bone (genioplasty), an incision is made inside the mouth and different surgical techniques are used to either shave down and/or reshape the chin bone or slide it forward to increase projection. Chin augmentation with a chin implant (mentoplasty) is also performed using an incision inside the mouth, though which a permanent implant made of silicone, Goretex or some other synthetic material is placed. -Chin surgery is performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation and typically requires 5-7 days of downtime. Complete recovery after chin surgery may take a few weeks, during which time a chin strap may also need to be worn. -If you're seriously considering chin surgery to get rid of a weak chin, reduce a protruding chin or generally improve lower face and jawline contours, contact New Horizons Plastic Surgery at(936) 564-3744 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Gregory Wittpenn. Dr. Wittpenn is an expert Nacogdoches facial plastic surgeon on serving chin surgery patients throughout eastern Texas and western Louisiana, including residents of Lufkin, Huntsville, Tyler and Shreveport. -“I am very happy to work in Bible translation because the Bible is the Word of God and the foundation of life,” Naomi testified. Although she had made some poor choices in life, God called her to himself at a women’s conference. Five years later she had the privilege of joining the Nali translation team. She was thrilled to study God’s book during translation because it opened her mind to things she had never understood about how the Bible relates to daily life. -In November, Naomi and her co-translators checked the book of Luke with local speakers of the language. The people would read a section of Luke and then answer questions about it to help the translators see if the meaning of the passage was communicating clearly. In one passage they evaluated, Jesus told a parable about building in a way that pleases the Lord. When one church elder read this passage during the checking session, he was convicted by the Scriptures that he should not demand extra money for the church building and then use it to benefit himself. -This profile is of my Friend who is simple and good looking.

An investigation on Hafas revealed that I could get round them all in (just) daylight at the loss of only working day, and an investigation of Ryanair revealed a reasonable fare to Linz, so off I went. -Good to note a quiz win last night against the White Lion! Early start though, for an 07:05 departure by car to STN as I couldn’t devise any way of leaving later and not getting caught in traffic. At least I proved myself right by doing so, and losing 35 minutes in the process. I still had time for a diversion to the level crossing at Offord, so that I could see a few 91s in their last day of private operation before becoming Son of BR at midnight tonight. -Onwards to Stansted where security took exception to my rucksack and emptied it out for me before checking it for explosives and re-scanning it. In fairness though, they were very polite and offered to repack my bag if I wished. The problem apparently was that it was so closely packed (to get within Ryanair’s restrictions) that the scanner couldn’t see through it. Well, I’m happy enough not be blown up and I was reassured by the diligence. -Once over that little hurdle there was time for an excellent pint of Adnam’s at the airside ‘Spoons before the inevitable Ryanair scrum and a punctual (well, 20 seconds late to be truly pedantic) departure for Linz. -Still time at Linz Hbf for a visit to the Spar for a Gösser Märzen and the tobacconist for a Euromillions ticket. Fingers crossed. [to no avail. I didn’t get a single number]. -The 17:30 EC (ex Klagenfurt, a warning for Monday perhaps) arrived wedged behind Gysev 1116 065. I managed to find a seat in an open though, so no problem. -Hotel (Hauser Eck) was located without problem as it’s on the southern edge of the pedestrian precinct (the station [St. Pölten Hbf] is on the northern edge). Getting a meal was another matter, with the hotel booked up for music night and the only pub I could find, wedged. So I had to settle for McDs and an early return to the hotel where my channel-hopping was rewarded with a very enjoyable documentary about steam trains in the Czech Republic and Saxony! -Reasonable (08:39) start today. Fortunately I chose to get up early and so got down to breakfast just before the main influx of locusts. Goodness knows what all these people (mainly female) managed to find to do in St. Pölten on a Friday night. Staff (all one of him) completely overwhelmed but the breakfast was OK. Hotel was a bit ordinary but I suppose for €43 in this day and age, and Austria, not too bad. -Fog had been threatened by the ZAMG weather forecast and it was duly there at St Pölten. Not too bad though, with the vis at an acceptable 800m+ and by the time the 4020 had made its way to Loosdorf the sun was shining. The same applied at Pöchlarn where 5047 012 was waiting in P4. -SEV from Scheibbs to Kienberg-Gaming which is rumoured to be closing in mid December. If it does, then I’ll lose the last bit; if not then I’ll have to traipse out here again to do it! Bit of a double whammy but the decision was to do it today anyway because it’s awkward and if it close beyond Scheibbs as threatened then it’s done as far as possible. -Scheibbs has a small licensed garden shed (Kaiser) but it didn’t appeal so I went for a wander round the town. Tempted into Billa on the way back I was rewarded with the really excellent Zwettler Festbier, 6.7% and tasty to match. -A model railway shop was noted on the platform at Wieselburg an der Erlauf – also a vast modern rail-served brewery, ostensibly Kaiser. Wonder whose Wieselburger is, then? -Only 12 minutes at Pöchlarn on the way back so not really time to visit the pleasant looking buffet (the free Gents’ was useful though!). On to St Pölten in a 5 car Dosto set shoved by 1116 037. -Although I was earlier than I’d expected there was nothing to be gained so I decided to split the ‘lunch hour’ between St Pölten abnd Krems. Accordingly I wandered over to what seems to be the only ‘proper’ pub in St Pölten centre, the Gösser establishment just across the road from the station. I’d forgotten how horrible really smoky pubs can be ... the Gösser was OK though (but over twice the price of the supermarket Festbier). The 1333 to Herzogenburg beckoned then (a 6020) so that, hopefully, is the last I’ll see of St Pölten. [Three weeks later, the new ÖBB timetable is still showing Kienberg-Gaming with a train service, so hopes dashed, it would seem, not to mention a wasted trip to Scheibbs]. -While waiting at St Pölten I was surprised to see a DB101 hauling an internal ÖBB service (Wien-Salzburg). That said, last night’s internal EC from Klagenfurt to Wien had a Gysev loco. -To Krems on an S40, changing at Herzogenburg, which is currently a major shambles, on to a 5047 or some such. There was time for a wander at Krems – the station may be ugly on a Birmingham New Street scale, but what a nice town. There’s a lot more activity there on a Saturday than there is at St Pölten. After a brief supermarket visit (Wieselburger Gold) it was another 5047, 011 this time, for Sigmundsherberg. Turned out I’d slightly miscalculated the daylight – a desperate phot just about worked at Horn at 16:30 but it’s not looking too good at 16:41 for the 16:43 departure, Still, better dark than not at all – and it isn’t quite! It is incidentally a typical valley line most of the way from Krems but with a change to far more open land after Rosenburg. Quite well patronised, and with everything in apple pie order as usual. Plank am Kamp in particular was very smartly, and it seemed recently, repainted. -Then it got better... quite a posh looking restaurant on the station approach, which didn’t look suitable for an itinerant scruff looking for a swift(ish) ‘alf. Down to the bottom therefore, turned left to find a chenist’s shop followed by nothing. Turned back, to find that the lights I had thought were part of the posh restaurant were in fact a Zwettler pub next door. Naturally I crashed straight in, to find a very smart and friendly pub which was a perfect venue for my 40 minute wait. Interesting to note some of the older bods in very traditional dress (and to see same on sale in the shops in Krems, too). -Final train was to Gmünd in the dark. The hotel was easily located – leave by the subway to Alberchtserstrasse, turn left, cross the level crossing and you’re there. Perfect. Friendly gaffer with a bit of English, making for a very useful establishment which might merit another visit when I come back to do the track in daylight. -Down town then for some food – the usual wide choice boiled down to Hopfel in the main square. A range of Schremser beers (I tried the ordinaire) and an unfiltered one also from Schremser, allegedly a special for the pub. Heard that before, but tried it anyway. It was unexceptional in both formats. The pork medallions were just the job though! -Not a particularly comfortable night as I couldn’t find anything to turn the heating off! Early doors for the 06:17 to Schwarzenau, still dark unfortunately. Dawn’s just starting to show but we’ll still be shy of the ‘one field’ target. -Just about one field by Schwarzenau, not that it mattered. Excitement at the appearance of the 5047 in the main line P2 instead of the south side bay P11 as advertised, tempered by the realisation that the Waidhofen line goes off northwards! -A nice little branch it is too, running as a parallel single line for quite a distance eastwards out of Schwarzenau before dropping away to the north and climbing to Waidhofen. [This was another possible closure which appears not to be happening]. -Back at Schwarzenau the 35 minute connection afforded me time to walk down the road and photograph 2016 019 outside the small depot. The 08:15 to Gmünd surprised me by being three loco hauled ČD coaches (the loco was Austrian but I didn’t note what it was). Also seen was a 5047 going to Zwettl – these use P21 which is the north west end of P1, so do the physical connection. Good news, when I get round to it. -Next move was to Wien [well, that was the plan] behind 1044 040 which turned up with four fairly horrendous ex-IC compartment coaches. A very uneventful run then, scenery or anything else, to Absdorf-Hippersdorf. On the way I’d worked out that I could do the north bank line from A-H to Stockerau instead of the already done route via Tulln, so I baled out in favour of an 1116 and a dosto set to Stockerau. It obligingly went across the layout to terminate in P1 eliminating any later grief. The connection therefrom was a 4020 working an S9 to Praterstern. -Preserved 93 1403 was noted parked among some wagons at Korneuberg. But more importantly, breakfast was obtained from the Anker shop at Floridsdorf! Having had this I was so pleased that I composed a text to H to tell her about it, thus losing concentration and almost letting the S1 to Gänserndorf go! -Very slow going to Gänserndorf, arriving about 7 late. Slow round Sussenbrunn (surely not still suffering the effects of the fire?) and from Deutsch Wagram (bustituted for the next two weekends so presumably moleworks). -Still 35 minutes or so at Gänserndorf so I wandered up to the Turkish pub (see 7.8.08) which was of course closed. Seeing the main road nearby, an inspiration suggested there might be a garage, and it might sell beer. There was, and it did. Stiegl for €1.88, amongst other things. It even had a bar, but I thought that a bridge too far! -5047 049 duly arrived from Gross Schweinbarth and worked the 12:47 back. The connection from Wien arrived almost 10 late (in fact with 15 seconds to spare) so had I waited for that one I’d have been more than worried. -A slightly surprising ride to GS – a lightly engineered line, which wasn’t surprising, but it runs past a large number of ‘nodding donkeys’. Seeing the first one or two I’d assumed they were for irrigation but when you get up close you can see the logo of OMV [Austria’s national oil company], suppliers of petrol and (to me a few minutes ago) beer. I don’t think the scale is sufficient to make Austria self-sufficient, somehow. [In fact I was right – it supplies only a small fraction of the country’s needs]. -4 minute connection at Gross Schweinbarth which turned up 2 minutes early so only just time for a phot. 5047 033 was the leading one of the pair. Quite why 049, the Gänserndorf one, buffered up to 2070 049 I don’t know (nor do I know why the 2070 was there, in the middle of nowhere). -Very nice ride up to Sulz Museumsdorf (was Sulz-Nexing according to the old station nameboard). It’s a 100% agricultural area though and despite its convenience (runs alongside the main street in one village) it’s easy to see it as a target for the bean counters. As is the inevitable way of these things there’s a nice looking pub across the road from the station but with 15 minutes including wandering about and photting time – no. -Once past Gross Schweinbarth [on the way back] there are a lot more nodding donkeys along the line to Obersdorf – along with vines, fruit trees, assorted crops and wind turbines. They certainly keep their options open. Also noted at Pillichsdorf was a brand new penny farthing [bicycle] – that’s certainly not anything I’ve seen before. -And now I know what ‘Obersdorf hst.’ is about. If Sulz Museumsdorf does indeed close, the dead end line from Gänserndorf to Obersdorf, reversing at Gross Schweinbarth, would seem very vulnerable. [Again checking just before the alleged closure date, it seems that this line completes a quartet of non-closures, making my trip futile from that point of view!] That said there seemed to be quite a few who like me, left the branch train to join the 6020 for Wien from the high level station on the line from Laa an der Thaya, so maybe there’s enough through traffic. It’s certainly not a line for scenic attractions – flat as a pancake from GS to Obersdorf. -Doing the change of plan at Absdorf-Hippersdorf and doing the Sulz lines east to west instead of west to east has (if the 6020 manages to stagger to Wien Südbf) gained me half an hour and a chunk of track, so very worthwhile despite my general aversion to changing the plan on the fly. -And so to Wien Südbf, collect some food and a couple of beers and settle down for 4 hours of dead track in the dark on IC537, catchily named Alpen-Universität Klagenfurt even though it goes to Villach. A dreadful long slog even with the assistance of Messrs Gösser, Ottakringer and iPod. Once past Wiener Neustadt it was dark; the train was full but not wedged and I had an ‘aircraft’ seat to myself throughout (no, I didn’t leave my bag on the other seat). I could have done without all the coughs and sneezes from in front of me but I’m still here! The only thing that made it dreadful was the suffocating heat. It amazes me that the Austrian nation hasn’t become extinct in such unpleasant and unhealthy conditions! To my relief the train arrived on time at Klagenfurt, where there was plenty of fresh air to be had on the 20 minute (plus another 5 getting slightly lost) walk to the hotel. Food was dispensed with, it looking too much like hard work at 21:00 on a Sunday. -No English to be had this morning (and an undercharge on the bill which had them after me for another €5). Generally a nice hotel though (Liebetegger) and I’d stay there again. Pleasant morning for the stroll down to the station, noting the Christmas decorations which are far more restrained and seemly than ours. Called at Spar for water supplies; for future reference there’s a Billa next to the station as well. Provided it’s a day when Austria’s open of course. Also noted was ‘Kleinbahn’, a model railway shop on the west (left going into town) side of Bahnhofstrasse, 5 minutes or so from the station. And of course, the (still) shut homebrew pub 100m from the station! [It shut 20 minutes before I arrived the previous night and hadn’t opened again when I left on the Monday]. -Interesting quirk when EC114’s stock arrived by DB’s first of class 101 001. I dived in to wait in comfort (and make sure of a decent seat!). This was DB IC stock and all the reservation signs (the electronic ones) said ‘GGF RESERVIERT’. No paper ones to be seen in my coach of choice, and I was baffled. I had the bright idea of asking, so wrote it down and trotted off to find an English speaking ÖBB person. Found one on the platform – he said he hadn’t the faintest idea what it meant. Decided that I’d go for it anyway and in a different coach found paper labels of the traditional kind. So it looks like ‘Ggf. Reserviert’ means ‘I’m not working, read the paper ones’. -An excellent ride to Bischofshofen – lakes, mountains, long tunnels, steep gradients, the whole works. It’s fairly (no, very) leisurely, but when you look at the landscape that’s reasonable enough. I was quite surprised to see a car carrier service through the Tauern tunnel given that there’s a parallel motorway. Punctuality was good, never worse than 3 late and we ran into Schwarzach-St Veit just astern of IC515 which was running in off the Salzburg line. I decided to stick with EC114 in case Schweers & Wall’s interpretation (physical junction east of the station) was correct though I never did work it out. Easy connection into 515 which ran into P3 at Bischofshofen just after I got there from P5. It was formed from DB ex-IR stock which though still comfortable is looking decidedly tatty inside despite the external repaint. -We were delayed 8 minutes waiting the München-Klagenfurt EC which was 20 minutes late. Hopefully no consequences of lost paths, but we’ll see. 1044 049 is the haulage. -None. A nice gentle plod through the mountains, arriving about 6 late for my 40 minute connection. Into the buff for a beer (open until 14:00 this time – see 30.08.09) only to find it only sells no-alcohol ‘beer’. Off to the village – two of the three pubs shut and no time left for the other one which was more of an amusement arcade anyway. The tobacconist was on his 12:00-14:45 lunch – nice work if you can get it. So I returned empty handed to 4024 065 on the 13:21 REX to Linz for the final track of the trip. -Not the most inspiring run on a very grey afternoon though it’s still quite spectacular in the upper reaches. Further down towards the Danube it’s flood plain land, pretty dull. The new alignment between Kirchdorf and Wartberg is now in use; as there’s a new Nußbach station I assume the old one’s gone – add one to the ‘too late’ list. Can’t help wondering if the moleworks which foiled us in August were the commissioning of the new line. -So to Linz, looking pretty dismal on a grey Monday but at least it has places to eat! A very nice schnitzel was supplied by the Café de Paris – I doubt I could have eaten it all even with more time... Made the 15:57 to Hörsching OK, so there’s just the challenge of the free bus. -1116 031 was the haulage, not that I note these things. No problem with the minibus – as I’d hoped, an English speaker on the phone and the bus arrived in 5 minutes or so. Others please copy! -No further railway interest for this trip – back to the UK on Ryanair (with the beastly fanfare at Stansted) then a long trundle home in the car, beset by temporary overnight roadworks on A14 and M6 which caused me quite a bit of delay. -In one sense this trip was a complete waste of time in that none of the threatened closure seem to have materialised. On the other hand three of the four are done now, and the great majority of the daylight hours were spent on new track so it was pretty productive. It also filled in the long stretches Spittal-Millstättersee to Schwarzach-St Veit and Bischofshofen-Selzthal-Traun which as far as the ÖBB system’s concerned, leaves me only fairly restricted areas in the eastern and southern parts of the country to cover. And as I don’t work Fridays it only cost me one day’s holiday! -That really was it for 2009. Another major plandampf was planned in Germany for April 2010 and we set our sights on that. -Winners of the two other Zayed awards—Scientific and or Technological Achievement in Environment and Environmental Action Leading to Positive Change in Society—were also announced today. -The Second Festival of the Cultures and Civilizations of World Deserts was held in April 2005 in collaboration with the World Deserts Foundation, and was attended by two Heads of States: the presidents of Algeria and South Africa, in addition to over 40 Ministers of Environment, Culture and Tourism who met to discuss integration of efforts for sustainable development.

Which designers would you love to see the site partner with? Tell us below! -That quote perfectly sums up the sound of Los Angeles-based rock quartet The Slow Signal Fade. -On the band's debut full-length, "Steady" (In Music We Trust Records), the band further explores these elements, seemingly integrating them and making them their own, creating a record that famed studio wizard Steve Albini (P.J. Harvey, Nirvana, The Pixies) is proud to have worked on. -Now, how did Albini end up working with The Slow Signal Fade? -Fans of Low's 'Things We Lost In The Fire', The Pixies' 'Surfer Rosa', PJ Harvey's 'Rid Of Me', and Nirvana's 'In Utero', all records Albini worked on, The Slow Signal Fade knew he was their man. Plus, he still uses tape rather than Pro Tools, something the band cherishes (their experience with computers in the past have left them less than impressed). -With their mind set on Albini, they set out to make their dream a reality. -The first step in achieving this, as the band will tell you, is putting vocalist Marguerite Olivelle on the phone. "We always do that with band stuff, because she's a girl and is nice and cute," the band laughs in unison. -Once they were in communication with Albini through his Chicago-based studio, Electrical Audio, they followed up with some music, corresponded via email, and eventually found a week in his busy schedule that worked for both parties - and booked studio time. -They then packed their bags, got in a van, with their instruments, and were Chicago bound. -Crediting the trip to Chicago as one of the best musical, and life experiences they've each ever had, the band spent seven sleepless days at Electrical Audio, working with Albini to create a record they are beaming about, one they feel will help them reach a wider audience and turn some industry ears as well. That record is "Steady", their debut full-length. -"Steady" is a record about experience, about life, lyrically and musically canvassing the good, bad, serious, silly, happy, and sad situations you find yourself in while living life to the fullest. -"The record is about staying 'steady' in life, and taking good times and bad ones and learning from them," explains the band. "It's why the bubble in the level isn¹t quite in the center [on the cover of the CD]. We are still trying and we may always be. -"But, it also has to do with us as a band, and how we operate, trying to stay positive, working hard, not giving up. Slow and steady wins the race". -Self releasing their two previous EPs, 2002's "Kindling" and 2004's "Through The Opaque Air" (both on Stroll Music), the band has done everything themselves up to this point, booking their own shows, putting out their own records, and touring relentlessly. -If asked, the band will tell you that every single thing they have is the result of hard work and longevity, believing in themselves, and what they're doing ­ all with a sprinkle of luck and timing. -The band may live in Los Angeles, but they don't know anyone in the business, nor do they have any nepotism to help them out. That is why they forced themselves to get out of Los Angeles, play shows, put out their own CDs, and do everything themselves. They quickly realized that they're a one-fan-at-a-time band, and if they were going to succeed, they had to slug it out and win over critics and music fans alike one at a time. -Thus, the band motto: If you think someone owes you something or things should be handed to you, you should become an insurance salesman. -And, the result is nothing short of commendable. Following the release of "Through The Opaque Air", the band did several tours, including a national tour (with a stop in New York for CMJ's New Music Festival), two West Coast tours, and treks through the Midwest and Southwest. -It is this hard-working, practical mindset that helped land them at In Music We Trust Records, a Portland, Oregon-based independent record label that heard "Steady" and quickly agreed to put it out. -When it comes to discussing the songs on "Steady", the band is very hesitant to give a definite definition behind the lyrics, preferring to have their listeners submerge themselves in the songs and come to their own conclusions. -"Marguerite writes all the lyrics and mostly they are all about everyday life, day to day personal experiences, struggles, dreams, etc.," states the band. "As with most of The Slow Signal Fade stuff, we don't like to be specific, so whoever is listening can also make their own assumptions and connections. They may think something totally different than the song is really about, and that's okay with us, too." -Now that you know about "Steady", the band's new record, you should know a little history of The Slow Signal Fade. -The band consists of lead vocalist Marguerite Olivelle, who was born in Sri Lank and moved with her family to Canada, before settling in Los Angeles, where she has spent the majority of her life. Bassist Chris Walters, who was born in upstate NY (Rochester area), migrated to Los Angeles to attend U.S.C. where he studied music. Drummer Aaron Vishria, a Memphis, Tennessee native, also moved to Los Angeles to attend U.S.C. And then there is guitarist Ron Ulicny, who was born and raised in Philadelphia, before deciding to move to Los Angeles. -Together, the band writes and develops the songs. Absent is a dictator and egos. -The band's only concern is to not repeat themselves; they don't want to create songs that sound the same. They want their songs to be in their own style, and sound cohesive, but they don't want things to be cookie cutter. That is their number one goal when writing songs. -The band is able to pull this off by allowing each member to contribute equally, preferring to write every song as a group, rather than having someone come in with the song and tell everyone what their parts are. This allows them to have songs that are slow, fast, heavy, soft, rock, or pop. -The band feels this is one of the things that help them stay 'unique'; their diverse backgrounds as both musicians and people help them further explore this element of the band. -Each member puts in their two cents from start to finish, everyone has equal say over everything, and all suggestions are welcomed and then discussed as a group. Leave your egos out of the practice space, and always do what is best for the song or the music, not what is best for just you; that's how The Slow Signal Fade lives, and writes songs. -The members of The Slow Signal Fade have all given up a lot in their lives to create music together and make the band function. They all realize they could be living more comfortable lives behind a desk or with a 9 to 5 job, but this is what they love and want to do. And that is why they work so hard at it. -The result is the band's debut full-length, "Steady", and best record to date. -Look for The Slow Signal Fade to tour relentlessly throughout 2006 and into 2007, promoting "Steady" and winning over new fans at every stop. -Ian!

Sourced through Flickr. -Responding to the impacts of climate change effectively at national policy and local planning level requires robust and comprehensive information and a strong knowledge base. The potential for this information to provide crucial knowledge in the designing and implementation of climate-resilient policies, plans and programmes is enormous. -In 2010, the Government of Nepal established the Nepal Climate Change Knowledge Management Center (NCCKMC) to facilitate the generation, management and dissemination of climate-related knowledge. The Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) has established a climate carbon unit to manage knowledge of climate change adaptation and mitigation. The Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation (MoFSC) has established Reduced Emission from Forest Degradation and Deforestation (REDD) Implementation Centre to manage knowledge related to mitigation and REDD. Similarly, the Ministry of Agriculture and Development (MoAD) has established Agriculture Information Management System (AIMS) to consolidate climate information and develop these into practical agro advisories. -Issues have, however, arisen within the climate change knowledge management community about the effective functioning of the knowledge management centres (see "Barriers" below). -assess the supply side of knowledge management, with specific focus on the way knowledge and information on climate change is available, processed, packaged and made accessible to those involved in local government planning at sub- national (district) and national level. -An overview of the methods used, key barriers and recommendations are provided below. See the full text (download from right-hand column) for much more detail. -The study used a mix of methods to generate information. -It carried out a desk review to analyse the policy, programmes and projects on managing knowledge of climate change in Nepal. The desk review also analysed the institutional strategy and action plans, particularly of development partners, international and national non-government organisations (I/NGOs) and research institutions related to demand for, and generation and sharing of, knowledge of climate change. -Field work was carried out in Rukum and Dang Districts in mid- western region of Nepal. The aim of field work was to assess the demand for and supply of climate change knowledge at district and community level. The study interviewed 64 persons at district and national level to obtain an overview and suggestions on climate change knowledge management at these level. A Google-based online survey tool was used to map the perceptions of stakeholders, particularly to assess the effectiveness of the NCCKMC. -Finally, two district- and one national-level stakeholder workshops were organised to draw stakeholders’ feedback on ways to strengthen knowledge management work on climate change in Nepal. -the existing knowledge management system has not been able to effectively guide decision-making at policy, planning and implementation level due to its inability to process and package knowledge according to the demand and requirements of the various institutions in the country. -NCCKMC should capitalise on the favourable policy environment for climate change to improve climate change-related knowledge management practices. Nepal has significantly progressed in crafting national policies and a framework on climate change. Several national-level institutional mechanisms and financial flow systems provide mechanisms for partly strengthening the implementation of the climate change agenda in Nepal. Policy is, therefore, not a barrier to operationalising a climate change knowledge management system in Nepal. The country, however, lacks a clear vision, strategy and institutional commitment to knowledge generation and management. This is the reason the available knowledge has contributed little to operationalising a knowledge management policy and practices on climate change. -There is genuine and strong need for an overarching national strategy and roadmap on knowledge management to streamline ongoing initiatives and responses to climate change. There are opportunities for climate change knowledge management in Nepal. This and other research support the assertion that knowledge management could be streamlined and harmonised if government has clear national and local-level strategies on knowledge, and strong leadership and commitment. Policy, institutions and human resources are not an issue in climate change knowledge management in Nepal. Knowledge management centres have already been established in Nepal. What is needed are joint proactive actions and a harmonised approach to climate change knowledge management among different agencies and stakeholders which can feed into policy making, planning and budgeting. -Climate change knowledge management should be mainstreamed within the policy and institutional mandate and work. There is need for state ownership and dedicated institutions to drive climate change knowledge management forward. A multi-stakeholder mechanism should be created for information and knowledge sharing and for learning at different level to allow innovations, ideas and learning to expand and flourish. It is also necessary to mainstream knowledge management within the government and non-government institutions to create a sustainable mechanism for learning and sharing. -Research and academic institutions should take the lead role in knowledge generation. Unless existing research institutions take the lead in knowledge generation, there will continue to be a mismatch in demand for and supply of climate change knowledge. Since many grey areas and knowledge gaps have been identified, the government and development agencies should invest in research and knowledge management. -This study was undertaken as part of the Climate Proofing Growth and Development (CPGD) project funded by the UK aid from the Department for International Development (DFID). The programme has been branded as Action on Climate Today (ACT). The programme aims to improve resilience by directly incorporating climate change considerations into policy, planning and investment environments within each country. Practical Action is an implementing partner of the ACT programme in Nepal. -The Event-kalendaro Ĉio-en-unu from Timely is a beautiful way to list your events in WordPress and easily share them with the rest of the world. -Reokazantaj eventoj inkluzive de kompleksaj ŝablonoj. -Filtrado laŭ eventa kategorio aŭ etikedo. -kaj iu alia sistemo akceptanta fluojn iCalendar (.ics). -Kolor-etikeditaj eventoj bazitaj sur kategorio. -Elstarigitaj bildoj de eventoj kaj bildoj de kategorioj. -Rektaj ligiloj al filtritaj kalendaraj rigardoj. -Opcioj etosaj por tajlori la aspekton de via kalendaro. -Enteksta redaktilo de kalendaraj etosoj. -Vi povas importi aliajn kalendarojn por aŭtomate aperi en via kalendaro. -Aŭtomata kategoriigo kaj etikedigo de importitaj kalendaraj fluoj. -Importo de kromprogramo estas facila. -Ĉiu evento estas optimumigita por serĉiloj. -Ĉiu evento ligiĝas al la origina kalendaro. -krei modelojn aŭ modifi la etoson. -Alŝutu all-in-one-event-calendar al la dosierujo /wp-content/plugins/. -“Event-kalendaro Ĉio-en-unu” estas liberkoda programo.

Sickinger had a strap he planned to use to bridle the horse, but he said better judgment took over and he decided the horse was too wild to control even if he could wrangle it. -Sickinger told a St. Clair County sheriff’s deputy the horse might belong to a neighbor. There are several horse farms in the area, but none came forward as the owner, Sickinger said. -Moments after Sickinger started petting the horse, a truck drove by and the horse followed after it. No one would see the horse until more than a week later. -On Wednesday, area resident Aranza Lee spotted the horse in a soybean field near Imbs Station and Wagner roads, less than a mile from Sickinger’s home. She captured a video of the horse running freely through the field and shared it to the Millstadt News Facebook page. By Thursday afternoon, the post had more than 400 shares, but no one had come forward as the owner. -“I mean, how weird is that?” said Sara Yoch of Smithton, a self-described horse-lover. -Lt. Alan Haake of the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department said the department has received several reports over the past three weeks about the missing horse, but he said no one has come forward as the owner, nor has anyone been able to catch it. -Yoch was out at the intersection of Otten and Wagner roads Thursday afternoon with a bucket of feed and a lead, looking for the horse. She said she was out in the same area Wednesday for about four hours, but didn’t have any luck. -She warned area residents to avoid approaching the horse if they aren’t familiar with how horses behave, and to slow down when driving through the area. Yoch said a horse standing in a road on a dark night can cause serious damage to a vehicle and hurt the driver, as well as the horse, of course. -It’s possible the horse was dumped, according to Stephanie Goepfert, a member of the Lincoln Trail Riders in O’Fallon. It can easily cost more than $500 a month to care for a horse, Goepfert said, and it’s possible the owner could not afford to keep it. -On its own, the horse could get sick or injured, Goepfert added. -“They can survive for a period of time in the wilderness, but if they’re a domesticated animal, they’re relying on a certain diet. It can be bad for them,” Goepfert said. -They can survive for a period of time in the wilderness, but if they’re a domesticated animal, they’re relying on a certain diet. It can be bad for them. -The most recent sign of the horse was a bedded-down area next to a creek near where the horse was spotted on Tuesday, Lee said. -There was no sign of the horse as of Thursday afternoon, though several groups were planning to head out and search for it. -Anyone who spots the horse can call the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department at 618-207-4374. -13 Mile Studio is a collective of four highly regarded contemporary artists, living and working within 13 miles of each other in South West London- Monette Larsen, Tracy Nicholls, Ros Perton and Megan Rowden. -Through this exhibition Counterpoint they aim to highlight the context and impact of materials in contemporary three-dimensional art. -As individual artists they are pursuing distinct pathways in which they are pushing materials and the traditional boundaries associated with them.

I am most familiar with night witches, and even that I am far from expert in. I haven't even had the chance to play an Apocalypse engine game yet. -Despite such obvious short comings, today, my mind has had an idea squatting in it. That idea, use the Apocalypse engine to tell the story of the fall of Yhtill, and the coming of the King in Yellow. -Below is the first bit of brainstorming have done on it. -Stormseal helped this Florida contractor to protect more than 100 homes. -"It was a simple and smart decision to switch to Stormseal. The product sells itself," said Adam Cherup. -"We love it," agreed Brittany, Adam’s wife. "It’s opened up more business for us and promotes professionalism, which we really value." -Adam and Brittany own and operate Pit Crew Roofing and Repair, headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, with a team of 60 employees. -"We first heard about Stormseal at the FRSA expo in early 2018," explained Adam. "I met Matt Lennox there and was immediately impressed by his passion and professionalism. -"When I heard how well Stormseal has worked in Australia, I registered two employees for their first installer training course in the US. We’ve had a great relationship with Stormseal ever since. -"I sat in on the training course and saw that Stormseal was a perfect fit for the high standards of our company. Stormseal’s product and installation technique are at the forefront of our industry, which is vital for us, and the film is readily available, with capacity to scale up production fast when a storm hits." -Pit Crew Roofing soon put another four employees through the nationally recognized Stormseal installer training, so they were prepared when Florida’s storm season arrived with a vengeance. -Hurricane Michael struck Cuba and the southeastern US in October 2018, claiming many lives, devastating communities and industries, and generating at least $3.3 billion in insurance claims. -The Pit Crew Roofing team has used tons of Stormseal to aid recovery, especially in Florida’s Panhandle, where the damage was catastrophic. -"We’ve installed Stormseal on more than 100 homes so far, using it on external walls as well as roofs," said Brittany. "Our team worked through continuing wind and rain to make hurricane victims safe and give them some peace of mind again." -"I really like Stormseal’s focus on safety – both for our installers and for residents – and that it’s long-lasting, secure in all weather, fire retardant and UV resistant," said Adam. "Our experienced roofers have a superior understanding of water shedding and they agree that Stormseal delivers the best results by far. -"We won’t go back to using synthetic underlayment, which lasted a maximum of six months, and we’ll never use tarpaulins because they’re totally inadequate. We’re getting customized Stormseal film in different colors, with our logo printed on it." -"The customer feedback on Stormseal has been very positive, which means they’re more likely to call us back to repair their roof once their insurance claim is paid," said Brittany. "Using Stormseal is good for our business as well as improving outcomes for storm victims. -"We’ll be putting more of our roofers through Stormseal installer training as soon as possible." -This article aims to demonstrate how leggings are not a garment that can only be worn by one age bracket. By paying particular attention to how leg wear can be worn and with what other garments, it is the aim to support the fact that leggings can be worn by ladies of all ages. -Leggings have often been a garment associated with childrenswear. With their ease of movement and comfortable style, they are appropriate for a growing child who may change in size regularly. Stirrup style leggings are also popular amongst those purchasing childrenswear. -Emerging from the eighties era, leg wear also become popular during this time when fitness wear was deemed stylish and worn as everyday wear. Popularised by chart topping bands of the time and the likes of Jane Fonda's workout videos, fitness wear was definitely a trend that many associate tight fitting leg wear with today. Whilst during the eighties, neon bright colours were popular for leg wear, but since then styles have developed and we now see that prints and patterns have become more and more popular. Seen on catwalks throughout London, Paris, Milan and New York, prints are consistently in fashion and are unlikely to ever go out. Whilst some prints come in and out of fashion such as animal print, other prints quickly come into replace them such as this season's popular print of dogtooth. What remains in style is the basic design of the garment such as classic leggings. -Depending on the occasion they are worn for will also coincide with an acceptable age to wear leggings. For example, if an older lady wore leggings to the cheap, she may not be judged as much as if she was to wear them on a night out. Whilst they do make great gym wear, it is not to say that they cannot be worn for nights out. Recently popularised by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, leather look leg wear is at the height of fashion and create the perfect look for a night out, but should these style of leggings have an age restriction? -If the wearer feels comfortable in the garment, why should there be an age restriction? Yes it is clear that some styles will be more suited to some ages than others but it remains entirely the wearers choice. -Another consideration would have to be gender. There is nothing to say that men can also not wear leggings, if it is acceptable for the gym it should be acceptable for everyday wear. -Conclusively, leg wear has developed dramatically over the years and is clear to see that no age restrictions should be applicable when considering who can or cannot wear leggings. -Personal training is all about YOU and your success in achieving your fitness goals. -The bottom line question is: Do you workout on your own or do you just intend to? -Our metabolism and muscle tone begins to diminish in our 20s and loss of bone density follows in our 30s!

Everything is different, but also the same. The differences, in this case, were heightened by the 2013 flooding. -Gone are the railroad tracks, the grain elevators, Extra Foods. But the lakes are still there, my (ninth) childhood home looks much the same, and many of my friends’ parents still live in the same houses they always have. New to the town is a Tim Horton’s, a few fun-looking playgrounds, several traffic lights and pretty much everything south of the highway. -Perhaps some of those things are not-so-new, but (as I mentioned) it’s been a while since I last visited. The town is about twice the size it was when we moved there (13,000 in 2016 vs 7,000 in 1996), though growth has been a bit sluggish in recent years (down to about 5% (from 15 to 30% in the nineties and early two-thousands)), probably again due to the massive flooding the town experienced in 2013. -Reflecting on the halcyon days of small town life, however, I’m not sure that slow growth is a terrible thing. No traffic lights is a thing I could really go for! And while the town is small enough that it still has only one high school, it’s big enough that you actually have to specify which Tim Horton’s you’re visiting (because there are two of them—it also has two wards now (or a ward and a branch)). So it’s small by some standards, but bustling by others. -At any rate it was nice to get back for a visit, even if it was a quick one. -My sister lives quite close to our old High River house, just down the street from my friends’ parents. Since she lives in a basement apartment and had a couple of her kids and Uncle Patrick staying with her, Alexander and I stayed at the Lilburns’ with Auntie Josie and Uncle David (Naanii stayed at the Thompsons’ with Rachel and Miriam). It was nice to be within walking distance of Auntie Abra’s place, even if I was initially a little apprehensive about crashing at the Lilburn's. My friend had a rather strained relationship with her parents as a youth and filled my head with all sorts of ideas about how tyrannical her parents were. Turns out they're not the least bit tyrannical. They're super nice (so I'm glad that both she and I got to figure that out). -Uncle Patrick and I took the kids to the corner park, where Auntie Josie used to escape to when she was a toddler. She was such an escape artist! Our neighbors knew to keep their eyes peeled for her and when someone would inevitably come running from our house in a panic, they’d calmly point us in the direction of either the playground or (slightly more worrisome) the lakes. -It’s a pretty dinky playground but is perfect for toddlers. Alexander seemed to have gotten the most satisfaction from this outing. -I don't know if these swings are the original swings (probably not) but I spent many hours here, pushing toddler Josie, in this exact same spot. -Abra, Patrick, and I took the girls to see Piper’s play on Friday evening (which was our main motivation for taking the trip). Naanii, Josie, David and Malachi tended Alexander. They even ran to the store to get a bottle so they could feed him a bit of the milk I’d pumped (and he apparently took it well). -On Saturday morning we attended a ward waffle breakfast, prior to the ward joining in on the town clean-up day. It was a good thing that we did because I was a little confused about whether or not we were going to stay for church on Sunday—spoiler: we did not. At least we got to see a few people. -My mom observed that I spent most of my time visiting with Kaly (unpictured!) who was one of Abra’s peers while Abra seems to be better friends with Jocii now, one of my childhood friends. It’s funny how growing up works. Jocii is wonderful, but very different from me. Had we not been the same age we might never have formed an organic friendship. Kaly and I, who are a little more similar, never did anything together when I lived in town because of our age difference (about five years, which hardly seems like anything right now but was a huge barrier when Kaly was in her young adult years and I was just a kid). -My friend Jenn is back in town, too, living with her parents (she told me sheepishly). I told her that was totally okay by me—I live with my in-laws! -After the breakfast we headed into Calgary to visit with Amy and Scarlett (more on that later) and then to Okotoks to visit with Heather and the Leavitts (also more on that later because I am trying to focus on what we did in High River). -We were cutting our return to High River pretty close to dinner/show time so we stopped by Tim Horton’s for some dinner (and timbits). Everyone who had missed the show the night before went on Saturday night so it was just me, Uncle Patrick, the baby, and the girls. We met my friend Tyne at Sunshine Lake and had a wonderful visit. She just happened to be in town visiting her mom. -Rachel and Miriam played a game of hide and seek with Georgina while Gideon and Alexander enjoyed the baby swings. When they tired of the playground (which, I should note, was brand new to me; there was no playground at the lakes when I was living there) we went out on the little peninsula on the lake (also new (to me)) to throw rocks and look at critters. A mother goose was nesting toward the end of the peninsula so we couldn't go too far out, for fear of being attacked. Geese can be rather violent. A passerby politely warned us about the goose, worried our children would frighten it, and later we gently scolded some young teens heading toward the goose, sticks in hand, with seemingly nefarious intentions. I guess we could have let them disturb the goose, but...we're nicer than that. -After Tyne went home, the rest of us finished walking around Sunshine, with a quick detour to take a peek at Emerson, the sledding hill, and Superman's house* (all while enjoying yet more timbits). -And that was pretty much our High River experience (though there are several more posts to come, don't you worry). It was certainly interesting to see (one of) my home town(s) again after so many years away. -* This was Superman's childhood home in the 1978 film and was Lana Lang's home in the series Smallville (which also featured my elementary school and several other town landmarks). -Hospitals are seeking ways to reduce readmissions, due to new penalties from Medicare. -Demand for qualified professionals in the health care industry is expected to continue rising, according to the Healthcare Association of New York State. -Certified registered nurse anesthetists, also known as CRNAs, say they, and not doctors, administer anesthesia, and physician supervision simply adds costs. -21320-E1-TVPB Bearing 100x215x47mm are important to the improvement and preservation of our daily living, 21320-E1-TVPB Bearing 100x215x47mm providing resources used to create electricity, roads, and communities. 21320-E1-TVPB Bearing 100x215x47mm are typically located far from where most people work, often in mountainous or arid regions, and can be found as much as 2,000 meters below ground.

She sat down recently to talk about language barriers, cabin fever and readjusting to life in east Sacramento. -Q: Between orphanage work in Zimbabwe and Guatemala and clinic work in Bolivia, you’re no stranger to long flights. How did that come about? -A: I’ve always enjoyed traveling, and then once I became a nurse, to be able to use that career overseas was really neat to me. What intrigued me about Mercy Ships is it’s a fully run hospital – you have a lot of equipment, you have a lot of medications. It’s a lot of what I get to do here, over there. -I am a Christian, and I think a lot of it has to do with seeing how God’s heart breaks when people are broken and poor. So much that you see is diseases of poverty. -Q: In August, you were scheduled to join a Mercy Ships crew in Benin in West Africa, but the service was canceled due to a possible Ebola case. Months later, your own hospital became a designated Ebola treatment center, and you took part in the preparedness efforts. Would you have considered going overseas to provide care during the outbreak if given the chance? -A: Had I been signed up with an Ebola team, I wouldn’t have been opposed. I enjoy the risk. I think that’s part of why I became a nurse, because there’s always those risks out there. When that came up, I decided to not be scared and to take more education and learn more about Ebola. For me, it was just a decision of, I’m a nurse, and I have risks even at UC Davis in Sacramento, and that’s why we learn to protect ourselves. -Q: You said you had a much heavier patient load and more limited resources on the ship than you do in Sacramento. What did you learn on this trip that you’ll bring back to UCD? -A: In the ward, there were 15 patients at a time with five nurses and five translators. There were people on the guitar and singing, and kids running around. It was a very different environment for me. I had to calculate my antibiotics and draw them up and mix them. It was just a stretch for me as a nurse, to need to focus on something, but also learn an art of nursing where I am appreciating and valuing the relationships of the Malagasy people. ... Just challenging my mind to see that I can function differently, and to bring that back to the burn unit is huge. -Q: Working in the oral and facial ward, you said you saw a lot of patients with physical obstructions that had long been neglected, such as large dental tumors or cleft palates. What is life like for them after surgery? -A: When you have a pimple and it feels like the end of the world, imagine missing a nose or having a tumor that’s out to there (gestures to a point several inches from her face). A lot of our patients lose their families, or their spouses will leave them. They are outcasts from society, so this gives them confidence. It brings them a huge healing, not just the physical aspect but their soul as well. ... When they have that healing, they finally feel like they can enter society again. -Q: Even on top of the jet lag, you must have a lot going on right now. How do you readjust to your old life? -A: I’ve done the reverse culture shock thing before, of coming to the U.S. and feeling like this is crazy. For me, it’s always reminding myself that these are two beautiful cultures that are different. There are good things about both of them. For me, knowing that God is present in both and working in both helps. But I never want to forget what I see. -At Bast Dental Clinic, we understand the untimely nature of dental emergencies.

We will provide the technology back end, the point-of-sale device and it will all be cloud-based,” says SG Chandru, Chairman of Pace Automation. Pace Automation is working its way into various parts of India to make lives easier for these vendors and grocers by networking with distributors in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Delhi. Goodbox was one of the first applications that introduced small establishments like local grocery stores to e-commerce which was then followed up by companies like Pace which runs on cloud computing technology. -SG Chandru, further wants to introduce these grocery stores to financial activities that will rake in more profit. “We are tying up with a bank, so the store can also act as a micro-ATM and customers could withdraw cash at the store. In addition, we are also creating a partnership with an insurance firm so the store owner could also act as a sales channel for insurance,” says the Chairman. -These financial services have the capacity to increase additional earnings of the stores by Rs 10,000.The technology cost for an Aadhaar-enabled point-of-sale (PoS) machine is approximately about Rs 60,000 and the merchant would then pay Rs 2,500 a month for the services. With final agreements closing next week, he strives to help these stores procure access to bank funding and valid financial statements through good old technology. This goes in line with the recent economic developments that took place in the country in relation with demonetization and also helps in making a true effort to mobilize a cashless economy. -Can it be?

The Friendship Place is a wonderful addition to the fellowship space of the Messiah campus. It is also a good space to be quiet, pray, share food or study God’s Word with a friend. Come inside, bring a friend or make a new friend and enjoy our welcoming Friendship Place! -“Glory to God Forever,” Gloria Dei’s anthem on the Day of Pentecost, June 4, was written in 2009 by the contemporary Christian musician, Steve Fee, who has said that, although the song has a simple message, “Glory to God Forever!,” it also has a great request of God — to give us the faith and strength that everything in our lives be given to His glory: reflecting His mercy, justice and grace. This song – and its message – is one of my favorites. -John, Peter, Andrew, and I thank you for being a part of our faith community, supporting and celebrating with us through the years. It has been a blessing to be a member since 1984, and to serve as the weekly musician since 1989. I have learned so much, as I worked with each of the pastors who served here. I have so enjoyed working with the Gloria Dei Choir, a faithful group of volunteers who have done and sung all I’ve asked. Thank you for your dedication! I also want to thank those people, too numerous to mention, who shared their musical gifts, both vocal and instrumental, in worship. -As I prepare to leave, I pray God may continue to bless Messiah’s congregation and give each of us the faith and strength to continue to live our lives to His glory! -*107 unique individuals attended worship between 1 and 4 times in April. -On Sunday, June 4, we will welcome three full members to our flock (above, from left): Samantha Fogel, Caitlin Levy and Ralphie Lippert. -Confirmation marks the completion of the congregation's program of confirmation ministry, a period of instruction in the Christian faith as confessed in the teachings of the Lutheran Church. -Help us in welcoming and supporting our confirmands as they officially join our community. -Trygve Jensen will be representing one of the two Messiah delegate positions.

In addition, a BRC/IoP certificate is recommended for any suppliers of packaging materials to Great Britain who have been requested by the local retail chains to provide that kind of evidence.A major portion of all foodstuffs sold in Great Britain is retailer branded. In order to meet their legal obligations, retailers are required to monitor their suppliers, and to demonstrate their own “due diligence“ when placing food on the market. That also includes the manufacturers of food packaging, who need to demonstrate fulfillment of the requirements of BRC/IoP. -A little teaze from our friends at the Rip Curl Stew. The contest will be held this June 11th & 12th in Tofino, BC. -Kudo for the trailer! Look good boys! -The need for rapid and smooth decision-making has grown in all sectors – everyone needs data that has been analysed in a reliable and intelligent way, and they need it in real time, not tomorrow or next week. -Predictive analytics and automatic optimisation have now allowed many, but far from all, to improve the efficiency of various business processes. A fast-growing area of application is now financial management and budgeting. -Analysed and processed data/information provides managers with a deep insight into their company’s actual situation and also a glimpse of the future and proposals for measures. Within follow-up and planning of business, advanced data analysis makes it possible to go from traditional models to more automated analyses that utilise far more data of different types than has been the case up to now. -New types of analytics tools mean it is now possible to collect and utilise even larger and more diverse data masses. Advanced, predictive analytics finds patterns and relationships in places where, until now, it has been almost impossible to find them. These patterns allow us to predict the future in a surprisingly reliable way. -When finance professionals have access to reliable information that is based on both historical data and future scenarios, it means that they no longer need to spend time on traditional, and often very time-consuming, routine tasks and they can instead focus on more important matters: analysing and planning various business options. -The old, goal-based budgeting routines can therefore be consigned to history. The traditional type of budgeting can be automated. Self-learning algorithms can generate “routine budgets”, i.e. predict the future based on existing historic data. This means predictive analytics is the number one tool in financial management. It offers considerable opportunities for more efficient and improved budgeting, especially with growing data quantities. -After budgeting has been automated, the next phase is to produce possible scenarios. For example, how would strategy-based reallocation of resources to a certain area affect the company’s outlook? Or would it be possible to generate added value for the scenarios and subsequently for decision-making by collecting real-time production data for the predictive model? Analytics methods can be used to examine and compare the relationships between financial and non-financial data. This can be used to model cause and effect relationships and to support strategy-based budgeting and decision-making. And this is the point where the finance professionals can finally take over. -Predictive analytics produces the most successful budgets in situations where business operations continue unchanged. -Predictive analytics models can be used to produce budget suggestions based on different scenarios and to quickly produce predictions of the way in which different decisions influence the company’s result. -Automatic optimization can help find the budget scenario that best supports the company’s strategy. -Hand screened.

When we came up with this idea, we wanted to make it so it was as little trouble as possible for players to make use of this feature. -Exactly. In the end, we made it so all you need to do is have StreetPass switched on. -Dream Suite run by Luna, which we touched upon earlier. -Well, a fair while ago, when you originally announced the Wii, you explained the concept of WiiConnect249 and gave the example of a friend coming over to play while you’re asleep.9. WiiConnect24: A Wii network service that is always connected to the internet, allowing automatic downloads of the latest news and other messages. Please note, the WiiConnect24 service is not available in South Africa. -Ah, yes. That’s right. That was the first thing I wanted us to try when we made WiiConnect24. -It was something I wanted to include on the Wii game, but there were all sorts of constraints which meant that we couldn’t do it, and I’ve regretted it ever since. This time, we finally managed it, so if you upload your town’s data to the server, someone can simply drop by to play while you’re sleeping. We pitched that as a kind of dream world, so we made the place where you have these dreams into the Dream Suite. -It’s a dream world, so whatever you do in a town you visit won’t leave any traces or after-effects for the person whose town it is. -Right. If someone sees your town and messes it all up, it’s just a dream, so there will be no changes to your town in reality. -With such a safe way for others to see your town, there’s no need to exchange Friend Codes10. We wanted an easier way to just leave your town open and let people see it more easily. The Dream Suite means you can go to a complete stranger’s town, and they can come and visit yours.10. Friend Code: An ID allocated when a Wii, Nintendo DS or Nintendo 3DS owner connects to the Internet. By exchanging Friend Codes, players can play specially designed games together online. -Also, if they are willing to give out their designs in the towns you visit, Wendell can give you the designs that you like. -go on all kinds of tours there , which are like mini-games, via a process of random matching. -So you will be randomly paired with someone you don’t know, and you can play together. -Correct. But of course, it doesn’t have to be a stranger. You could invite a friend, or take a tour by yourself. But we did make it so that it would be simple for someone who doesn’t have a friend playing to take part. It’s not like this takes place in your town… it’s on a separate island. -So you don’t have to worry about any damage being done to your town. -Right. We’ve always wanted to ensure that players can communicate safely and securely, and I think we have achieved that this time. -And close friends can still come and go between each other’s towns, as they have up to now. -Yes. In addition to friends with whom you have exchanged Friend Codes, you can register other players as ‘best friends’ in the game, and there are exclusive communicative elements you can share with them. -Can you explain more about these ‘best friends’? -Well, let’s say you have a copy of the game and play together with your family. This means that four of you can play, as it has been in previous titles. But only one of you can be mayor, while the others will be regular townsfolk. -There might be four people playing, but they will share the same Friend Code, as it is assigned to the Nintendo 3DS system. That means that someone in the family might visit a friend, but then meet someone there who they don’t know at all. We were worried that this might feel awkward. -It would be a shock if your friend’s mother, let’s say, whom you had never met, suddenly appeared in your town. -This time round, we made it so that each of the four players could designate certain close friends as ‘best friends’, and you can make it so only these ‘best friends’ can come and visit. What’s more, if you’re connected to the Internet at home, ’best friends’ can exchange messages without having to go to each other’s town. -In previous titles, when you wanted to let a friend know you were planning to visit their town, you’d need to give them a call or send them an email. Now you can do that inside the game. -information about the price of turnips 11.11. Turnips: Items used for investment purposes in Animal Crossing and available for purchase every week on Sunday morning. If the selling price exceeds what you bought them for, you will earn pocket money. -So you were all interested in the price of the turnips you can buy on Sundays from Joan ? -Even when people are connected online, there are players who still don’t really want to make the effort to visit someone else’s town. But I’d be happy if turnips inspired players to go and check out each other’s towns. -But turnips don’t have to be the only reason. You could decide to hold a fishing competition. -That’s right. Or you could meet up to exchange fruit. There are all sorts of opportunities. -Come to think of it, in the edition of Nintendo Direct broadcast on 29th August last year, there was a kind of comic foreground of me, where you could put your face through an image and take a photograph. Well, I didn’t actually notice it until the video was completed. -Well, when I saw that, I was amazed – I thought: “Wow, you can do things like that?” That would make another reason to visit another town. -That’s right. Everybody can come up with their own designs. -If there’s one that you like, you can stick your face through the hole and take a souvenir photo. -In Japan, the title of the game is Animal Crossing: Jump Out!, and I hope that everyone will have the opportunity to jump up, head out and visit other players, as that title suggests. -Big Sean has been missing for a minute. Though 2017 found Sean delivering I Decided and the Metro Boomin-produced Double Or Nothin', 2018 brought a noted hiatus from the Detroit artist. Today, on his thirty-first birthday, Sean took to Instagram to open up about the reason of his absence." -"I'm definitely seeing things different than I used to see them," begins Sean. "I just wanted to speak on it, and share because a lot of ya'll need insight like I do, and probably feel similar too. Around this time last year, around my birthday, it was good for me but it was wild for me too, because I felt like something wasn't all the way connecting with my energy. I'm big on energy. And I wasn't feeling like myself, I couldn't figure out why." -"So what I did was I stepped back from everything I was doing," he continues. "Everything I had going on, because somewhere in the middle of it, dawg I just felt lost. I didn't know how I got there. I been meditating since I was seventeen years old, that helps with anxiety, depression, all them things. It wasn't doing it all the way for this, so I knew this required some special attention." -Big Sean continues his message with a second video, titled "Clarity." "The deal was, I started therapy," he says. "I got a good therapist. I was blessed enough to talk to some super spiritual people. They made me realize one thing I was missing in my life, and the one thing I was missing was clarity. Clarity about who was around me, what I was doing." -"Even the music, which was my happiness, my joy, always an escape for me, that was starting to feel like a burden," he admits. "Starting to feel like a job. The relationships around me, the people I was growing up with, I had a lot of toxic relationships around me. Even the relationship with my mom. I was getting to a point where we wasn't talking like that. It was weird, because that had never been like that with me and her. I realized it had all started with me, and I had to analyze myself, I couldn't point the finger at anybody else. I had to point it at myself, and nurture the relationships that were important to me. But most importantly, nurture the relationship with myself." -In the final segment of the message, Sean looks to the future, expressing an interest to return to music with a renewed sense of focus. "I started realizing, you can't depend on somebody for love and a good time and all that if you can't give it to yourself," he says. "I started doing things by myself, doing things I never thought I'd do, like going skydiving or whatever I thought was fun. In the midst I definitely re-discovered myself. Found a whole new energy, and me being a source of it and not somebody else. -"Then I started getting back to making the music, and having fun, started nurturing those relationships that were important to me," he continues. "Putting time into that unconditional love. Conditional love is cool, the money and instant gratification, but the foundation on which you stand on is the unconditional love. Hey man, put the energy back into yourself, be clear about what you want to do, how you want to do it. Just know that it all translates to happiness. It feels good to be back at a higher level." -The series of videos put Big Sean's prior absence into perspective, and it's nice to have the lyricist back in the fold. Look for him to bounce back with some new music, which he has confidently dubbed his career-best. Happy birthday Big Sean! -Public safety and security are an ever-increasing priority for Government agencies.

Amatra’s solutions help government agencies improve communication with citizens and also provide a powerful and effective notification system for automating crisis communication and enhancing public security and emergency first response. -California Vehicle Code 21058 is intended to protect patients who live in rural areas that may go to hospitals that do not have doctors on staff at all hours of the day and night. There are numerous situations when a doctor may be needed at legitimate emergencies, and getting there fast is essential. If there's a shooting victim, a car accident patient or a woman with labor complications, at a rural hospital it's important to get a doctor to the operating room fast. In rural areas the on-call surgeon may live 15 or 20 miles away from the hospital and it's important for that surgeon to be able to get there in a hurry without worrying about legal repercussions. There are still many rural hospitals in California that still rely on the on-call physician for emergencies. -This law was not designed to give doctors a "get out of jail free" excuse. There are still stipulations as to when the law applies. First, the doctor must be going to a legitimate emergency. Having dinner reservations, or being late to the airport will not constitute an emergency. Second, the doctor must maintain a reasonably safe speed. There is no excuse for driving recklessly, and doctors who cause harm to another person while speeding to an emergency will still be held accountable for their actions. Lastly, the doctors cannot allow someone else to borrow their car for the purposes of using the CMA sticker. This law only applies to a vehicle that is registered to a licensed doctor; if that vehicle is being used by the doctor; while the doctor is on his or her way to a real emergency. -This law does not prevent an officer from pulling over a doctor. The doctor must show that he or she is on their way to an emergency. While most officers will probably not question a licensed physician, an officer that questions the authenticity of the emergency can still issue a citation. The physician would not be held accountable, and would not have to pay the ticket upon showing the court proof of the emergency. However, the doctor will have lost valuable time getting to the emergency while the officer is writing the ticket. -There has been some debate between the California Medical Association (CMA) and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) over the necessity of this law. The CHP argues that the law, which was passed in 1954, is outdated and no longer necessary. The CMA argues that in rural areas the law is still needed and could save lives. For now, the law is still on the books and the CMA regularly gives stickers to licensed physicians to use in case of emergencies. -Note: Rijeka Challenger Men live on FlashScore.ca. -Follow Rijeka Challenger Men page for live scores, final results, fixtures and draws!

UT claimed its fourth-straight Big 12 Conference crown by just one point, the closest margin of victory in the history of the meet. -UT collected 105 points, followed by rival Oklahoma with 104. Victories by UT’s second varsity four, fourth varsity eight and second varsity eight boats highlighted the Longhorns’ day, but the first varsity eight race is the premier event and awards the most points. -The Longhorns fell by nearly 10 seconds to the Sooners at the Longhorn Invitational in March, but at the conference race, with a shuffled lineup, UT pulled within a half-second of the Sooners. -Still disappointed to finish second, Graves saw a purpose from her boat that had been missing for most of the spring. -At the finish line, many of the Longhorns were also reduced to tears. Partly because they felt the agony of defeat, and partly because they finally felt the void of self expenditure. They gave themselves to the boat. -“It was their very best effort," Graves said. -Graves challenged her rowers to push to that evil place, to the place of maximum effort and pain. To their credit, the Longhorns did. -This race against OU started much like the one on the final day of the Longhorn Invitational on March 18. The Sooners were stronger off the line, forcing UT to play catch-up for the entire race. -The difference came in UT’s response. Instead of wilting against a seemingly insurmountable deficit, the Longhorns kept rowing, kept pushing and kept fighting. UT clawed back the entire race and was the stronger boat in the final 250 meters. In fact, had the race been three strokes longer, the Longhorns would have likely won. -The record however will show that the Longhorns lost, but that Texas won the team title. And that remains the Longhorns’ victory in defeat. -Well, that and the notion that they can still get faster. Graves isn’t one to let her rowers be satisfied. -It's the FIRST IN THE WORLD!

Precision Door Service’s goal is not only to fix your garage door right, but to provide exceptional customer service. -Albert Einstein theorized that because time is relative, a space traveler who leaves earth and travels near the speed of light will return to earth having aged more slowly than the people she left behind. For the space traveler, time has slowed down relative to the passage of time on earth. But those of us who are earthbound must deal with time moving as quickly as ever. And that is why we now find ourselves with only a year left in the remedial amendment period (“RAP”) that the IRS has provided to 403(b) plans. If a plan sponsor wants to take advantage of the RAP, it must complete the requirements of the RAP before March 31, 2020. -First, some background. Those who have worked with 403(b) plans since before 2009 will remember that prior to the IRS regulations that were effective in that year, the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) did not require that a 403(b) plan be maintained in accordance with a written document. ERISA covered 403(b) plans were subject to the ERISA document requirements, but the IRC did not require it. To continue with the space-time theme, the 2009 regulations were something like the big bang, creating a new universe for 403(b) plans. One of the changes was the requirement that a contract (or custodial account) would not qualify under IRC section 403(b) unless it was maintained pursuant to a “written defined contribution plan”. The regulations require that the written plan “contain all the material terms and conditions for eligibility, benefits, applicable limitations, and the time and form under which benefit distributions would be made”. -However, (in contrast to the parallel 401(k) universe) the IRS neither provided for a determination letter program for 403(b) plans or for pre-approved prototype or volume submitter plans. It provided some limited guidance as to what it expected in a 403(b) plan, but mostly document providers were on their own. This started to change in 2013, when the IRS announced procedures for the issuance of pre-approved 403(b) plans (Rev. Proc. 2013-22). Once the program was opened up, document vendors (which included many of the major investment companies serving the 403(b) market), submitted documents to the IRS for approval. The IRS reviewed the documents and issued opinion or advisory letters when they were approved beginning in March of 2017. Employers that adopted the approved plans could rely on the letter that the form of the document that they adopted to a substantial extent satisfied the form requirements of 403(b). -In addition, in connection with the introduction of pre-approved 403(b) plans, the IRS announced a remedial amendment period. The RAP allows an eligible employer to retroactively correct defects in the form of a written 403(b) plan by timely adopting a pre-approved plan or by otherwise timely amending its plan document. The document may be retroactively adopted to the first day of the RAP period to obtain retroactive relief to that date. The first day of the RAP is January 1, 2010, and the last day is March 31, 2020. Therefore, if a plan completes the adoption of a pre-approved document by March 31, 2020, and is retroactively adopted to January 1, 2010 (or, if later, the date the plan was initially adopted) any defects in the form of the plan will be deemed corrected for all years after 2009. The RAP requirements can also be met by a sponsor making corrections to its current document, but the sponsor only has reliance from the IRS that the document meets the requirements of 403(b) if it adopts a pre-approved document. Note that the RAP cannot be used to correct operational errors, but can correct a plan provision, or the absence of a provision, that causes a plan to fail to meet the requirements of 403(b). -If it hasn’t done so already, should a sponsor restate its plan onto a new, pre-approved document? To be clear, restating the document is not a requirement. A sponsor is free to maintain its current document if it chooses. But there are some compelling advantages to restating the plan, especially before the March 31, 2020 deadline. In addition to the ability to rely on the approval letter and the retroactive effective date, another plus is that the sponsor of the pre-approved document is responsible for keeping it up to date if there are changes in applicable laws or regulations that require plan amendments. -Start early. It may be a little late in the game to give this advice but you should at least begin the process as soon as you can in 2019. It seems likely that the plan document sponsors will start to experience a rush as we get closer to the end of 2019 and it is important to make it into the queue before document sponsors start closing the door. Beginning the process often means simply contacting your investment provider and asking for a document to be prepared. -Gather all prior plan documents and amendments. If your plan is taking advantage of the RAP and retroactively adopting the plan, you will need to incorporate all of the changes in the plan’s design since 2010. Be sure to also gather documents that were sent to participants about the terms of the plan, such as a summary plan description, summary of material modifications, enrollment kits or forms. It is important that the retroactive document reflect the promises made to participants during the remedial amendment period unless not permitted. -Use the restatement process as an opportunity to re-consider aspects of your plan design. Are there any issues in the plan’s operation that you want to address? Are you satisfied that the design accomplishes your objectives? -Use the restatement process as an opportunity to conduct a compliance review. Is the plan being operated in accordance with the terms of the document? You may need to fix operational errors, and in any event, you don’t want to carry mistakes over to the new document. -Ask for help from your service providers and advisors. The pre-approved documents are meant to cover a wide variety of plan designs and situations and so can be quite complicated and some sections of the adoption agreements can be challenging to complete. -Start early. We know – we already said that. But unless you have a space ship capable at traveling at the speed of light, the deadline is drawing near. -Whether you’re thinking about shaving your man beard, or just touching your facial hair up, it pretty much goes without saying the final touch to this process should be a nice, aromatic aftershave. If you’re not up to date on what an aftershave even is, don’t worry cavemen weren’t either since they lived under literal rocks, so let us do a quick 411 on it. This way, you’ll be persuaded to use them and also be prepared to make them. -#1: While you are moving along, confidently razor-ing away at your facial hair, you may *admittedly* get a few nicks. Painful? Nooo, not for you of course! Unsightly? Well, yeah. Step in aftershave…the unsung hero in this shave story. It works to help calm the skin and promote smoothness. -#2: It’s a form of moisturizer. If you’re anti-creams, then aftershave is a safe alternative. It acts a soother for the skin tissue, leaving you with that rugged, yet smooth appearance you know the babe’s will dig. -#3: You shaved your face, high five. Now, you want to smell good. Aftershave’s one main purpose is to do just that: to make you smell good. That’s pretty much all for this one. -Now that you’re an obvious expert on aftershaves, let us introduce you to a DIY blend that your S.O. will a) be impressed you made and b) will make your skin smell good/look good. -Steps: Mix in the witch hazel, sweet almond oil, glycerin and essential oils. Fill the rest of the bottle with the water. Shake to combine. Dispense with the dropper, apply to your face and start smelling amazingly! -Now that you have your bottle ready, go give it a try! We can’t promise girls will be making memes out of your face like Ryan Gosling, but hey, at least you’ll smell good. -This league will be titled the "Polk High FFL"; further, it will be divided into 2 conferences: The NFC Leaders Division & The AFC Legends Division. -This league will utilize the NFL.com website or app. This league will document on the domain "www.thefantasyfootballwire.com" -This league will compete for money as voted upon and agreed by all league owners. -The Polk High League Champions Trophy will be awarded each year to the winner.

While business intelligence data concentrates on the inner workings of an enterprise—whether their metrics are within industry standards, are their processes ISO-compliant, and more—market intelligence data is sourced from external factors. As the name implies, it is gathered from the consumer markets themselves. This includes very important data points such as consumer trends, age-group-to-spending-power ratios, as well as marketing penetration in the different sections of the economic spectrum. -Is Intelligence Data an Intelligent Investment? -Imagine this scenario: you are a small business trying to make your mark in a certain industry. All your competitors have been around for decades, and any of them can box you out using just sheer reach, influence, and experience. However, on your side, you have all the data about your competitors: their strong and weak seasons, their blind spots in logistics and distribution, all their pricing systems, major customer sentiments about their products, and their level of market penetration. -Suddenly, intelligence data levels the playing field simply by knowing how your competitors are moving about in the market. And this is just the tip of the market intelligence perspective called competitor intelligence. Market data also covers social media, customer purchasing power, and generally almost every sales-related statistic out there. -To successfully integrate market intelligence data into an enterprise’s decisions, extensive market research is needed. Studies such as feasibility and accessibility research, market penetration evaluation via surveys and double-blind consumer tests, and identification of target markets such as potential B2B clients or B2C channels—all these can help in gathering a snapshot of the state of the current market. -With 93% of companies investing in market intelligence (MI) saying that it helped them extensively in their business, there is no better time than now to ride the trend and leverage its benefits early. However, how does one even start in adopting such an all-encompassing concept? -One basic requirement is revamping the company’s IT infrastructure. Market research, in theory, sounds like a small thing. However, with literally millions of markets and billions of potential customers, the seemingly small data points add up to become extremely large. -Tools such as web analytics software, customer relationship management (CRM) tools, data mining, visualization, and dashboarding software—all these, they contribute to housing data better and morphing them into meaningful information for decision-makers. -Additionally, specific intelligence reps and analysts can be fielded to understand the “story on the ground”—this could be done by tracking social media sites such as Twitter, Reddit, or Facebook, or by being physically present in consumer conventions and gatherings, which is always a rich source of real and timely data. -The University of Bristol invites partners and institutions interested in discussing customised, faculty-led or bespoke short-term programmes to contact our global summer schools team.

Knowing the difference is critical when selecting cleaning products (Click here for more information on Cleaning & Caring for your natural stone). -Siliceous stone is comprised mainly of silica or quartz-like particles. It tends to be very durable and relatively easy to clean with mild acidic cleaning solutions. -Calcareous stone is composed mainly of calcium carbonate, and is sensitive to acidic cleaning products and frequently requires different cleaning procedures than siliceous stone. What may work on siliceous stone may not be suitable on calcareous surfaces. -A simple acid sensitivity test can be performed to determine whether a stone is calcareous or siliceous. To do the test, you will need about 4 oz. of a 10% solution of muriatic acid (CAUTION: Muriatic acid is corrosive and is considered to be a hazardous substance. Proper head and body protection is necessary when it is used) and an eye dropper, or you can use household vinegar and an eye dropper. -Because this test may permanently etch the stone, select an out of the way area, and be sure to test several inches away from the mortar joint. Apply a few drops of the solution to the stone surface on an area about the size of a quarter. -If the stone is calcareous, the acid drops will begin to bubble or fizz vigorously. -If little or no reaction occurs, the stone can be considered siliceous. -Thoroughly rinse the area with clean water and wipe dry. The test may not be effective if surface sealers or liquid polishes have been applied. If an old sealer is present, chip a small piece of stone away and apply the acid solution to the fractured surface. -A polished finish has a glossy surface which reflects light and emphasizes the material’s color and marking. A polished finish is used on walls, furniture tops and other items. -A honed finish is a satin-smooth surface with relatively little light reflection. Generally, a honed finish is preferred for areas where heavy traffic will wear off the polished finish. A honed finish may also be used on furniture tops and other surfaces. -Granites and marbles are quarried throughout the world in a variety of colors with varying mineral compositions. In most cases, marbles and granites can be recognized by visible particles at the stone’s surface. Marble will normally show “veins” or high concentrations. The minerals in granite will appear typically as small flecks uniformly distributed in the stone. Each stone is unique and will vary in color, texture and marking. -Sandstones vary widely in color due to different minerals and clays found in the stone. Sandstone is light gray to yellow or red. A dark, reddish brown sandstone, also called brownstone, has been commonly used in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Bluestone is a dense, hard, fine – grained sandstone of greenish – gray or bluish – gray and is quarried in the eastern United States. -John Cortland Timm graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelors of Science in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences.

Objective: We assessed the effects of a single intramuscular injection of 10 mg vitamin B-12 (which also contained 100 mg vitamin B-6 and 100 mg vitamin B-1) on vitamin B-12 status and neurophysiologic function in elderly community-dwelling Chileans with low serum vitamin B-12 concentrations who were consuming bread fortified with folic acid. Design: A pretreatment and posttreatment study was conducted in 51 participants (median +/- SD age: 73 +/- 3 y; women: 47%) with serum vitamin B-12 concentrations <120 pmol/L at screening. Vitamin B-12 status was defined by combining vitamin B-12, plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), methylmalonic acid (MMA), and holtranscobalmin into one variable [combined indicator of vitamin B-12 status (cB-12)]. The response to treatment was assessed by measuring cB-12 and neurophysiologic variables at baseline and 4 mo after treatment. Results: Treatment increased serum vitamin B-12, holotranscobalamin, and cB-12 (P < 0.001) and reduced plasma tHcy and serum MMA (P < 0.001). Treatment produced consistent improvements in conduction in myelinated peripheral nerves; the sensory latency of both the left and right sural nerves improved on the basis of faster median conduction times of 3.1 and 3.0 ms and 3.3 and 3.4 ms, respectively (P < 0.0001). A total of 10 sensory potentials were newly observed in sural nerves after treatment. Participants with high serum folate at baseline (above the median, >= 33.9 nmol/L) had less improvement in cB-12 (P < 0.001) than did individuals whose serum folate was less than the median concentration (i.e., with a concentration <33.9 nmol/L). Conclusion: Asymptomatic Chilean elderly with poor vitamin B-12 status displayed improved conductivity in myelinated peripheral nerves after vitamin B-12 treatment and an interaction with folate status, which was detected only with the use of cB-12. -This happened in Kashmir; he was giving discourses on Mahavira – Mahavir Meri Drishti Mein.

You can’t see him.” They were curious to know something, so they asked me, “Are you his daughter?” I said, “Yes.” I didn’t want to get into telling those details about him being my guru and my being his disciple. I was trying to avoid more questions so I just said yes. -The next question was, “Has your mother also come here with you?” I thought, my God! Now I am caught in a net. So I said, “No, my mother is not here, she has died.” Then they asked, “Do you have any sisters and brothers?” I became really shaky now; this thing just kept going further away. I replied, “No, I’m the only daughter.” Now they were satisfied and left. I heard them discussing among themselves as they left, “Poor girl, she is the only daughter of pir baba. She has to take care of him alone.” I was surprised at the drama the simple question had turned into! -I told Osho about the incident when he woke up. He just laughed and said, “Now you know, if you tell a single lie, you will have to carry it further with an entire chain of lies.” And this little incident went so deep inside me. Since then I’m more aware of what I’m saying, not to create such situations. It was a very simple situation but it had a deep impact. -Osho would give insights for our learning from different situations. Once in Ahmadabad, Osho was having his afternoon tea. He just asked me, “Will you become my secretary?” I spontaneously replied, “I can’t take care of my own work, I’m so lazy that I need a secretary myself. How can I be your secretary?” He laughed and said, “You don’t know my laziness, your laziness is nothing compared to my laziness.” And he went on telling a story from his own life to prove his point. -Osho used to make us laugh all the time with these small stories. He then concluded the story by appreciating lazy people, saying that lazy people are very good. Active people create a lot of chaos in the world. He mentioned that if Hitler had been a little bit lazy, there would have been no second world war. -Until then I used to feel that something was wrong with me: “I’m a lazy person.” His message was to accept myself, to relax into myself and not to compare myself with others. I also realized that I’m not lazy. I’m doing whatever is needed. Maybe it has just been an idea put inside me by others or by my past conditioning. I had been feeling that I’m lazy but the whole thing dropped from me in that second. This was Osho’s keyword – acceptance; accept and relax into yourself, do not fight. Mostly we have some ideas; we feel that we should be in a certain way. With acceptance, the ‘shoulds’ drop, we are what we are! On that day something shifted inside me, the energy which was in conflict, which was fighting inside, got released. -The other thing I observed in Osho is trust in existence. He was so relaxed, there were no worries! I will tell you a small incident. One day he was travelling from Mumbai to Jabalpur by train. Two cars set out for the railway station; one with Osho in it and the other carrying his luggage. For some reason the second car did not arrive at the station in time. We were all getting worried, “It’s time and the train will leave. The luggage has not arrived.” I was watching him. He had no tension on his face, he was totally relaxed. There was this trust – whatever will happen is ok. Finally the train was ready to move and we heard the whistle. Osho got on the train and stood on the steps. And then a man came running with his luggage. Surprisingly, even after the whistle, the train had not moved for another two minutes. The luggage was put on the train and it took off. -Immediately that incident comes back to mind and I say to myself, “Ok, just relax and trust, see what happens.” And in all my travels I have never missed a flight but the nagging mind is still there. And the trusting part keeps the mind away with “You shut up! Let’s see what happens.” So this is really important for me: to trust. I learnt this just by observing Osho while being with him. He has given me many insights for my practical life. -Sometimes we have to face extreme situations. These come as tests; tests to check where we truly stand. When Osho was in the body I never felt like leaving the commune, no matter what the situation was. It was clear, “I’m here for my master and everything else is not of much importance.” I continued to stay 10 more years in the commune after Osho left the body, feeling his energy there. But in the year 2000, this strong feeling came, “Ok, now it’s time to move out.” There was no space for thinking, “Why should I move out?” I trusted the feeling, it was a decision which came from inside: “It’s time for you to move out!” – and I moved out. I did not know where I should go nor what I should do. -My friends started asking me, “Where will you live?” I told them, “I don’t know, but I have decided to move out.” Then a friend said to me, “I have an apartment lying vacant, why don’t you stay there?” So I moved into his apartment and the next thing was that I started getting phone calls from friends in Delhi, “What are you doing sitting in that apartment? Why don’t you come to our centre?” So I went to Oshodham. -All this happened by itself, it was existential. First I thought that after living a very comfortable life in the commune, where everything is taken care of, now I would have to take care of myself. But when I went to Oshodham, after a month in that apartment, again I felt that everything was taken care of. I knew that if I trust and don’t live in the head then existence takes care of things. -Later a new phase started in my life: friends from around the world, on hearing that I had moved out of the commune, sent me invitations. Many sannyasins had settled in different countries, they started calling and saying, “Why don’t you come visit us?” This is how I started travelling to many countries. -Life has become very beautiful – an adventure. I always feel there is some energy, I call it Osho energy. I feel it surrounding me, protecting me, travelling with me. I have had no problems in my travels so far. Sometimes there are small incidents. On one of my trips abroad, I was held back at the immigration counter. There are two categories of passports; mine was the one having a restriction on travelling to certain countries, including the one I was visiting on this occasion. I just kept standing at the immigration counter silently. I remembered Osho, “Your lovers have gathered in this city for meditation, and these people say that I can’t go… so now what?” I tried from another counter, but in vain. -Finally I went to see some higher official who amazingly decided to give me clearance. I was very relaxed and silent, watching what was happening. I was surprised to see the whole situation work out all by itself. Existence sometimes puts us to the test. I was happy I passed! -Osho said that after leaving his body he will be more available and that we will experience it. He was limited when he was in the body. Now he is all over the world and he is still at play! -Dorothy Michelle Provine (January 20, 1935 – April 25, 2010) was an American singer, dancer, actress, and comedienne. -Estelle Bennett (July 22, 1941 – February 11, 2009) was a member of the girl group The Ronettes, along with her sister Ronnie Spector (the 'Ronnie' of the band's name) and cousin Nedra Talley. -Ellas Otha Bates (December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008), known by his stage name Bo Diddley, was an American rhythm and blues vocalist, guitarist, songwriter (usually as Ellas McDaniel), and inventor. -Floyd "Red Crow" Westerman, also known as Kanghi Duta (August 17, 1936 – December 13, 2007) was a Sioux musician, political activist and actor. -There’s no question that Newark Avenue in Jersey City is to Indian food what Sachin Tendulkar is to Cricket and Sharukh Khan to Bollywood films. -When you think of Newark Avenue, the first thing that comes to kind is the dozens of Indian restaurants dotting the busy narrow street and surrounding areas. -If you ask me, the more apt name for Newark Avenue would be Curry Avenue. -Although there are a few desi grocery stores and jewelers on Newark Avenue, the area attracts visitors primarily for the rich variety of Indian food available there. -Ask not what Indian food you can get at Newark Ave. -Andhra Dum Biryani, Punjabi Parathas and Tandoori Chicken, Gujarati Thalis, Chennai Idlis and Masala Dosas, yummy Chaat and an array of mouth-watering sweets are available at Newark Ave. -To pander to Indian eggophiles, a restaurant specializing in egg dishes opened a few years back on Liberty Ave (off Newark Ave). -Newark Avenue has overtaken Jackson Heights in Queens NYC, Hicksville in Long Island, Manhattan’s E.6th St, Devon Ave in Chicago and Pioneer Blvd in Artesia (Los Angeles) in the sheer number of Indian restaurants. -Only Oak Tree Road winding its way through Edison and Iselin in Middlesex County (New Jersey) rivals Newark Ave as America’s largest Indian restaurant row. -To cater to the influx of South Indian immigrants, several Hyderabadi Dum Biryani joints have come up on Newark Avenue over the last five years. -The sad part of Newark Avenue is the filth, stench and Paan stains in some parts of the street. -How depressing that wherever we Indians go, we turn it into a filthy replica of our hometowns in Punjab, Gujarat, Orissa or Tamil Nadu. -Newark Avenue is close to the Path Train Station at Journal Square, a mere five-minute walk. -Jitneys (mini-cabs) are also available to Newark Avenue from the Port Authority bus terminal on 8th Avenue and 42nd St in New York City. -The Assistant Director of Athletics and Recreation assists the Director of Athletics and Recreation in daily operations and provides departmental support to the Athletics department.

The range has continued to grow and there are more players using this range now as availability increases. In 2016 Victor introduced the Hypernano X800 Limited Edition which consisted of Power and Control versions. As expected, the beautiful power version was a great success, with a completely different feel to the original 800. The Hypernano X800 Control version however was relegated to the poor cousin status and I cannot understand why. Maybe it was the bright yellow colour or because players are generally infatuated with power? Perhaps the popularity of the 800 Power with many international players became a key factor? -It seemed easier to test the 800 Power rather than Control, hence the reason why it’s taken me a while to write this review. -My sample version was delivered with a full length standard Hypernano cover. This was a nice surprise as I was expecting the black cloth bag which is seemingly growing in favour with players, although I still don’t like them. -HX800 Control is a great-looking racket primarily in yellow with blue, green, black decals. This is a 4U version (80-84g) G5, small grip. The racket arrived unstrung so I selected my favourite string Ashaway Zymax Fire 66 and restrung to 25lbs as this is a fair test and matches my usual demo racket string and tension combination. -I mentioned earlier that this racket reminds me of another. On reflection HX800 Control feels a little like Yonex Armortec 900 Technique. This racket had a very distinct feel. I wonder whether my test will confirm this? -My first few hits with Hypernano X800 Control were really good. The frame is quick and this is where the combination of a 4U weight and the lowered weight in the head work well. There’s sufficient weight in the head to feel it, but the lack of top-of-the-head weight allows the hands to rip through the shot that little bit quicker. -Whilst the frame doesn’t have the super-solid feel of the Power version, I noticed there was a different feel compared to the original 800, lacking some of that “hollow” feel some players hated. My clears were good and I enjoyed the feel on the racket. Whilst I prefer a heavier head, with this racket I wasn’t missing the weight in the head as it was still there, only placed in another area. I would say the overall feel was closer to hitting with an even balanced racket. -Drop shots were quick. Compared to the recently launched Hypernano 900, 800 Control felt rather spacious in the hit rather than “tight.” I gather this is because the stringbed does not have the same stiff feeling that is a trademark of the 900. As the racket is a Control version, it certainly lived up to its name. I always felt in control and enjoyed the little effort required to hit my drop shots. -Onto the smash. The speed of the frame was excellent which combined in a different way to the head resulting in good power in the smash. I wasn’t expecting this, and believed the 4U, lighter headed version would impart a less impactful shot. Perhaps this is where the additional speed generated through my hands helped. My personal taste remains for a slightly heavier head, but it’s encouraging to know that the even balance or head light lovers may find this racket quite appealing. -Flat drives and pushes were excellent, providing enough force when called up on to send the shuttle on its speedy way. The frame balance also presented a more endurance-based feeling, so if the flat game is how you like to play, then this racket could be a winner for you. -The speed and weight combination of the frame and head did not cause any issues in defence. The racket remained light in my hands and delivered good, quick defensive shots with a fair amount of punch in the drives. It is highly manoeuvrable and I felt quite at home defending my half in a two versus one situation. There is just enough weight in the head to feel that you have the beef behind the shot which is supplemented with the extra hand speed. I loved it! -The net area was made very easy with HX800 Control. A light touch is easy to dial in with the added benefit that the racket immediately obeys your instructions to work faster for knock offs. Pushes needed a shade more to find the sweet spot mid-court and as expected, there was enough punch to hit to the rear court with very little hand movement. -I wasn’t expecting Hypernano X800 Control to shine as it did. The original 800 was a marmite racket. The 800 Power appeared to have solved the “hollow” issue with the original, and I suspected the Control version was too similar to the original in feel, hence the reason why I couldn’t find out any information on it. -A yellow racket isn’t always a popular colour until I remember MP99 which was a massive favourite. Maybe the similarity to AT900T made this racket the underdog in the 800 series. Whatever the reason(s), it’s unjustified. For the record, Victor Hypernano X800 Control is a very good racket and will certainly appeal to a player who doesn’t need a head heavy balance to hit hard. -RRP is £190 which is expected for a top of the range model. Online stores have discounted to around £140. Bearing in mind this is a limited edition, I suspect further deals can be done as once stock has been sold, retailers cannot obtain the racket again. It’s a shame this is a limited edition racket although in some respects, this is no different than other rackets that make a brief appearance before being withdrawn from a catalogue. At least this racket was named as a limited edition. -HX800 Control, delivers a lot and it’s fair to say that it is a jack of all trades rather than a master of one or many. That’s a positive comment and confirms it’s a good all-rounder. Previous owners of AT900T may find this more to their tastes, retaining weight in the head but in a lower position near the throat. The racket was quickly growing on me and I felt a little sad to return it. -Rating HX800 Control has been tricky. I really enjoyed it, respect it has delivered well and yet still can’t help wondering why it’s not been given more credit. However, I am giving it a rating of 4.5 stars. -The sixth annual gathering of Mustang LX 5.0 Convertibles is being planned for the 2012 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals held from June 1-3 2012 in Carlisle, PA.

In turn, these run other modular bits of code for the Spot and Stripe Patterandom scripts. The code stopped every 20 new Layers (10 stripes, 10 spots) and I altered the boundaries within which the patterns could be randomly scaled. This was done sequentially at first and then in response to how the design looked in order to try and get a balance between large and small scale pattern. As with the previous post, this means a result that is not truly generative. I'd like to look at how decisions about when to stop or alter things are made in more detail as this project unfolds. I have a vague idea for a manifesto of some sort that says the final designs have to look good. However interesting the code is that creates them, it's not interesting enough if the results aren't beautiful. -Doxplore Digitizer is a software that helps you Scan your physical documents, perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on the scanned images to make them searchable by content. -If you lose or accidentally erase an important digital file, such as a proposal or a contract , but still have a hard copy, you can easily replace it in your system by using OCR to scan the original paper document or most recent draft. -OCR software converts scanned text into a format that can be read and searched by computers , enabling search for specific documents using a keyword or phrase.

This habit became so well known to his gambling friends that they soon began to order “the same as Sandwich,” and from this, the sandwich was born. -How can you celebrate National Sandwich Day?

However, as was my duty, I took writh me ten camels, laden with rich presents for the Sultan. -We had been travelling for about a month, when one day we saw a cloud of dust moving swiftly towards us; and as soon as it came near, we found that the dust concealed a band of fifty robbers. Our men barely numbered half, and as we were also hampered by the camels, there was no use in fighting, so we tried to over­awe them by informing them who we were, and whither we were going. The robbers, however, only laughed, and declared that was none of their business, and, without more words, attacked us brutally. I defended myself to the last, wounded though I was, but at length, seeing that resistance was hopeless, and that the ambassador and all our followers were made prisoners, I put spurs to my horse and rode away as fast as I could, till the poor beast fell dead from a wound in his side. I managed to jump off without any injury, and looked about to see if I was pursued. But for the moment I was safe, for, as I imagined, the robbers were all engaged in quarrelling over their booty. -I found myself in a country that was quite new to me, and dared not return to the main road lest I should as:ain fall into the hands of the robbers. Luckily my wound was only a slight one, and after binding it up as well as I could, I walked on for the rest of the day, till I reached a cave at the foot of a mountain, where I passed the night in peace, making my supper off some fruits I had gathered on the way. -N.B. If any minutes were taken of the meeting in 1985 then they have long since been lost. These two articles, authored by Katherine, cover all of the content of her talk, and more. -As anthropologists, most of us would agree with Bruner that "our first responsibility is to respect people's accounts of their experiences as they choose to present them" (1983:9). However, those of us interested in historical anthropology face a special challenge since we are rarely able to draw upon indigenous accounts of everyday life. Even when we are able to use such texts, the problem of ethnographic authority remains (Clifford 1988:8; Clifford and Marcus 1986). Considerable work is being done in historical anthropology in reconstructing indigenous histories by using the early narratives of Western observers. However, such efforts have obvious problems of observer bias (see Cohn 1987:136-171; Said 1978; Savage 1984). Furthermore, as in the descriptions discussed in this article, the outside observers have sometimes recorded opposing opinions. How are we, as anthropologists writing today, to assess such conflicting appraisals? Using the case of textiles in 19th-century northern Thailand, I should like to suggest that by reconstructing the political economy of a society, we can evaluate contradictory historical descriptions. -From Veblen (1912) and Simmel (1957) to Weiner and Schneider (1989), an appreciation of the varied manner in which textiles symbolize social distinctions has been longstanding. As Bourdieu has written of symbolic goods in general, textiles can be an integral part of the "infinitely varied art of marking distances" (1984:66; see also Barthes 1984; Sahlins 1976). Often the distinctions are extremely subtle. Writing of the use of fashion, Barthes notes the importance of details as "concentrated meaning" (1984:185). For Barthes, just a detail can change an object's meaning: "a little nothing that changes everything; those little nothings that can do everything" (1984:243). However, more than just symbolizing distinctions, textiles have also been shown to constitute and consolidate social differences through their often vital role in a society's political economy. In his pioneering article on tributary textiles in the Inca kingdom, Murra notes not only that "no political, military, social, or religious event was complete without textiles being volunteered or bestowed, burned, exchanged, or sacrificed," but also that cloth served as "a primary source of state revenues" (1962:722). -insights into the semiotics of consumption and an important methodology for historical anthropology. -Others have made a similar point (see Schneider 1987 for an excellent review of the cultural, economic, and political significance of cloth). As Weiner and Schneider summarize, architects of centralizing polities have awed spectators with sartorial splendor, strategically distributed beautiful fabrics amongst clients, and exported the textile output of royal and peasant workshops to earn foreign exchange" (1989:2). -Contradictory assessments of dress also occur in 19th-century descriptions of northern Thai dress. The anonymous author of one of the earliest surviving accounts remarked on the lack of class distinction in women's clothing: "It is curious to notice the uniformity and universality of the female dress. The higher classes vary the style a little by inserting a very showy strip of wrought silk next above the bottom piece" (Bangkok Recorder 1866). Twenty years later, an American missionary working in northern Thailand wrote in almost identical wording: "Rich and poor all dress alike, except that the higher classes vary the universal style a little by inserting a very showy strip of wrought silk into the skirt near the bottom" (Cort 1886:348). -Thus, depending upon the archival source, contemporary scholars can reach opposing assessments of the character of these earlier societies. Research on textiles in mainland Southeast Asia is just beginning (see Brown 1980; Cheesman 1988; Fraser-Lu 1988; Lefferts 1988, 1990; Prangwatthanakun and Cheesman 1987). Prangwatthanakun and Cheesman's Lanna Textiles: Yuan, Lue, Lao (1987) is the only full-length work on textiles in northern Thailand; as such it is an important preliminary study, especially useful for describing some of the items woven and the techniques used. In this article, I examine the broader social context of textile consumption and production, drawing upon two major kinds of sources, archival and oral. The archival sources include consular reports (primarily British), 19th century newspaper accounts, travelogues, and works by American missionaries. In addition I have interviewed hundreds of villagers over the age of 80 living throughout the Chiang Mai Valley of northern Thailand.5 I use archival sources primarily for insight into the consumption, production, and acquisition of textiles by the elite; I rely more heavily on oral histories for insights into the everyday life of villagers. Based upon an understanding of the social processes of textile production and consumption, I argue that the controversy generated by the contradictory opinions of certain 19th century observers of northern Thai society can be resolved in favor of those who asserted that there were dramatic differences of dress and class in the northern Thai semiotics of consumption. -The Chiang Mai Valley was the site of the largest and most important of the northern Thai kingdoms. These kingdoms were located in the region today called northern Thailand but called "Western Laos" by 19th century missionaries and other foreign observers. The courts of the various principalities were located in the mountain valleys of Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang, Phrae, Nan, and Chiang Rai, each today serving as a provincial capital. Although these kingdoms were independent, they had been tributary to the neighboring kingdom of Burma for several hundred years. During the 19th century, they were tributary to the central Thai court at Bangkok; thereafter they were incorporated into Thailand. -This article is divided into two parts. In the first, I examine the cultural significance of textile consumption in 19th century northern Thailand. I present some of the surviving descriptions of dress, ranging from the daily wear of commoners to the state robes of the ruling lords, and subsequently expand the discussion from dress to other applications of textiles, arguing that there were dramatic differences between peasants and lords in this broader sphere as well. In the second part of the article, I describe how this differentiation between elites and commoners was revealed in the social process of textile production. Focusing on the two most important textiles used; cotton and silk, I consider the overall importance of textiles in the political economy of these northern Thai kingdoms, noting the role of tribute and slave labor in the acquisition of textiles by the elite. -Previous studies have shown that 19th-century northern Thai society was divided into three major social statuses: the aristocrats (jao), the freeholders (phrai), and the slaves (khiikhaa). The aristocracy was internally differentiated by economic and political power. The greatest power and prestige were concentrated in those lords who occupied the five top positions in each of the kingdoms, while lesser members of the aristocracy whose inheritances had dwindled were barely separable from the peasantry at large. Free villagers were all liable to perform corvée labor and pay tribute to the ruling lords, but they were internally differentiated according to economic class. The wealthiest villagers rivaled many members of the aristocracy; in fact, many had royal titles and intermarried with the lower levels of the aristocracy. Villagers spanned the economic continuum, from those with land and numerous animals down to those who were destitute or landless beggars. The difference between slaves and free villagers was also often a gray area. Elite slaves sometimes worked very closely with their lords and received more benefits than ordinary commoners. On the other hand, the conditions for ordinary slaves were generally worse than those for commoners since the former were at the mercy of the lords. (For more on 19th century northern Thai social structure, see Bowie 1988; Calavan 1974; Ganjanapan 1984.) Nonetheless, although portions of this social spectrum overlapped, there were significant differences in lifestyle from one end of the spectrum to the other. -To give an idea of the purchasing power of a rupee at this time, some indications of wage rates are suggestive. Although very few statistics on northern Thai wage labor rates survive, I was able to find three references in the archival sources.16 According to the British trade report of 1894, porters were paid 12 to 15 rupees per month, assuming they carried an average load of 15 to 20 viss; about 54 to 73 pounds (Archer 1895). Some figures on the wages paid to laborers in the teak industry also survive. According to W. J. Archer, the British vice consul, Khamu workers who could once be hired for 40 to 60 rupees a year (and their food) could in 1894 no longer "be had under Rs. 70 to Rs. 90 a year" (1895). Writing five years later, Acting Consul J. Stewart Black gave somewhat lower wage figures, while also lamenting the increasing costs. He noted that Khamu workers were paid 30 to 50 rupees per annum, in addition to their food, which cost about 5 rupees per month, or an additional 60 rupees per year. Black wrote that in 1899 some teak laborers were being paid as much as 120 rupees (food included) and went on to castigate the native villagers for their indolence, commenting that "not even the attraction of what is to him [sic] a small fortune will induce them to undergo for any length of time the hard labour and isolation of forest work" (1 900).17 Thus, forest workers in the teak industry were earning anywhere from 90 to 120 rupees per year (including the value of their food), or about 7 to 10 rupees per month. Such wages paid to forest workers were considered a "small fortune." Although the wages paid to porters were higher, it should be noted that portering such heavy loads required tremendous stamina and could be done by only the strongest villagers. Furthermore, such employment was seasonal. -According to oral histories, the wages paid to agricultural workers were less. Many villagers cited rates of one win (approximately one-seventh of a rupee) per day for agricultural labor at the turn of the 20th century.18 Archival sources suggest that wages for teak workers averaged one-quarter to one-third of a rupee per day and those for porters averaged half a rupee per day. Villagers also recalled that in the early 20th century one rupee could buy a full set of clothing, including a homespun shirt and pair of pants or skirt. -Clearly, the aristocracy's most luxurious clothes were not likely to serve as daily casual wear. Nonetheless they marked a significant distinction in purchasing power and social status between the elite and ordinary villagers. A tin jok skirt border that cost 60 rupees represented at least four months' wages for the best-paid porter and over a year's wages for agricultural workers. Everyday peasant dress already represented anywhere from two to seven days' wages and thus constituted a considerable expense for the ordinary wage laborer. -The ruling lords of the northern Thai kingdom also had distinctive regalia, including umbrellas and spittoons. Whether a formal sumptuary code existed is, as I mentioned earlier, unclear. However, even without the evidence of sumptuary laws, I believe that there is considerable indication of significant class differentiation through dress.19 With the exception of state robes and regalia of rank, differences in dress may well have formed a continuum of wealth rather than a clear-cut differentiation based on status. Poorer members of the aristocracy, less able to afford the most elaborate of clothes, would have blended with those below them. Conversely, wealthier members of the rural elite, especially those who had intermarried with the lower ranks of the aristocracy, would have dressed more ornately. Nonetheless, overall, when one considers the cost of elite dress in light of the economic situation of poor villagers who were begging, stealing, or patching their simple clothing, a dramatic distinction emerges. -Textiles were used not only for dress but also for a variety of household items and on various ritual occasions. Such uses of textiles also revealed considerable differences according to wealth. Although the poorest villagers often did without, ordinary villagers used textiles for making mattress and pillow covers, blankets, bed sheets, and mosquito nets. In general the mattress and pillow covers were plain indigo or black with red stripes or trim. Bed sheets were plain white or white with a red stripe or checked pattern; fancier sheets had embroidery and in some cases more complex weaves. Mosquito nets were woven on special large looms, and many informants complained about how heavy homespun cotton mosquito nets were to wash. -Cloth also figured importantly in the lives and rites of the elite. In addition to owning more and fancier clothes, the elite had more and better household items. Instead of just having enough mattresses, pillows, and other bedding items for the family, wealthier families had additional bedding sets for guests. Furthermore, the guest bedding was considered an object of display and so was more likely to have embroidered ends and complex, time-consuming weaves. Even today wealthy village families usually have wood cabinets with glass doors along the wall of the main room of their home to showcase guest bedding sets. -The possession of ornate pillows was another particularly significant attribute of elite households. Although Thais had a variety of pillows, the prestige pillows were usually triangular and were used for daytime reclining. Their importance was highlighted in a British official's passing remark that such pillows were "to be seen in every house of any pretensions" (Lowndes 1871).25 Furnishing their palaces, the northern Thai princes displayed numerous luxury items such as foreign-made weapons, chandeliers, mirrors, lanterns, curtains, reclining pillows, and even imported carpets (Taylor 1888-1930:73; Younghusband 1888:63-64). In 1830 Richardson noted the presence of Indian and Chinese carpets (1829-36:63), and in 1885 Ernest Satow recorded that the ruling lord of Chiang Mai had European furniture and "a number of gaudy Brussels carpets" (1885-86:51). -The full extent of the differences between commoners and aristocracy was most visible when members of the ruling elite traveled in state or participated in public ceremonies. Royal barges had large cloth canopies: the royal barge of the central Thai king, according to one observer, featured "a canopy of cloth of gold where the King sits on a golden throne wearing a gold embroidered coat and golden shoes" (Dodd 1923:289). The royal entourage often consisted of scores of boats, the rowers all clad in matching uniforms. The elite also traveled by horse or elephant, the animals gaily festooned with decorative textiles. On state occasions, the highest ranks of the nobility used gold and silver decorative caparisons. Mary Cort noted that the gold elephant trappings were "worth thousands," whereas the silver trappings were "worth hundreds" of rupees (Cort 1886:349). -In addition to making public prestations such as those at the Kathin ceremonies, the elite would have given considerable amounts of textile goods away during any other life-cycle or calendrical ceremonies they might hold. Thai ceremonials usually included a merit-making component in which gifts, including monastic robes and embroidered pillows, were given as offerings to the monks (see Davis 1984). Archival sources also note the use of textiles as gifts to visiting dignitaries: the gifts given to Satow, a British official, by the ruling chief of Lampang included velvet mattresses, pillows adorned with Chinese brocade, and silk skirts (Satow 1885- 86:206). Thus, not only did the peasants and the lords differ considerably in terms of dress and household possessions, but they also differed in the extent to which they donated textiles on ritual occasions. -In this article thus far I have depicted significant differences between the elite's and the peasants' uses of textiles. I have described a range of dress: from the stolen and the hand-me-down, from the threadbare and the patched, from the simple cottons of commoners to the state robes of the ruling lords. I have also outlined some of the different uses of textiles in village households as opposed to the court. Here, I should like to show how the differentiation was manifested not simply in the consumption of textiles but also in their production. -As will become clear, both accounts are true; the differences lie in the type of fabric being woven. -Most clothing was made from cotton. However, contrary to what is commonly assumed, weaving was not a universal household industry; only certain villagers in certain villages wove (see Bowie 1988, 1992). The weaving of simple cotton cloth was spread quite widely throughout the Chiang Mai Valley, and certain districts were especially known for their concentrations of weavers. Those districts that had a reputation for cotton weaving in the past, especially the San Kamphaeng and Bo sang districts, have maintained their reputations down to the present. Furthermore, oral histories reveal weaving to have been a highly specialized activity, with different villagers involved in the different phases of production. By far the most commonly produced cloth was a plain white cotton, often later dyed with indigo. The villagers most likely to produce such cloth were the poorer ones, who wove both for their own household needs and for sale or hire. Such village weavers were more likely to find weaving an onerous obligation from which others were freed. -From the simplest and plainest of homespun white cloth to the most elaborate designs using imported fibers, the value of the fabric gradually increased. Striped or plaid cloth involved more work and skill, in both weaving and dyeing, than plain cloth and was consequently valued more highly. Cloth woven with imported threads, most often used for women's phaa sins, was more expensive than the domestic handspun cotton. The wealthier the village weaver, the more likely she was to weave the more time-consuming decorative items such as colored skirts or striped sheets. The more elaborate the design, the more likely the weaver was weaving for pleasure with a "cool heart." -The more complex the weave, the more likely that the weaver was affiliated in some manner with the aristocracy, as war captive, slave, or member of the court. Virtually each of the areas known for weaving is associated with an ethnic minority brought into the Chiang Mai Valley as war captives sometime during the 19th century. Baan Ton Hen is a Khyyn village; San Kamphaeng (particularly around the original district town of Baan Oon) is also known as a Khyyn area. The Khyyn are a population who originally lived in the Chiang Tung area: Chiang Mai led attacks on Chiang Tung in 1849, 1852-53, and 1854, and it seems people were brought back on these occasions (Wilson and Hanks 1985:29). Over half of the people living in the Lamphun region are said to have descended from war captives (Freeman 1910:100). Chom Thong town has a Lawa population, many of whom served as temple slaves. Unfortunately, I was unable to acquire any information about the ethnic background of villagers in Baan Aen since the entire village was forced to relocate when a hydroelectric dam was built. -Unlike villagers, who had to weave, trade for, or buy their clothing, the ruling lords were able to extract raw cotton, woven cloth, and dyestuffs as tribute. Their ability to levy tribute on broad sectors of the population provided the aristocracy with a quantity of cotton cloth no single producer could hope to match. Interestingly, the majority of villagers who sent cotton or cloth as tribute appear to have been hilltribe populations, such as the Karen and the Mussur (today more commonly called the Lahu). One of the Karen villages that Captain Thomas Lowndes visited in 1871 had just taken its year's taxes to Chiang Mai: "it consisted of Rupees 2, 2 blankets, and 40 viss of cotton" (1871). Richardson also noted tribute of cloth paid by the Karen during his travels in 1830 (1829-36:37, 45). Captain McLeod found that the KaKuis had to make presents of mats and cloths to the lords (1836:57). McGilvary commented that much of the raw cotton being purchased by the Yunnanese traders came from the Mussur; although he did not specifically mention tribute, it is likely that the Mussur too would have been expected to offer tribute to the ruling lords in the form of raw cotton or finished cloth. While the aristocracy were able to make apparently generous donations on ritual occasions, much of what they gave was in fact the contribution of others. -Thus, the aristocracy appear to have been able to extract raw cotton, simple cotton cloth, and complex cotton weaves through political means. Tribute afforded them both raw cotton and cotton cloth, and the labor of war captives seems to have provided them with complex weaves such as tin jok skirt borders. Although silk was considered a more valuable fabric, cotton cloth nonetheless had a variety of uses in royal households. The tin jok borders, even those made of cotton, would have marked their wearers as wealthier than ordinary villagers, who only wore plain skirt borders. Possession of textiles ranging from mattresses to elephant headpieces made from complex woven cotton would have similarly served to add to the prestige of their owners. Such cloth could be used as rewards for favored underlings or as gifts for visitors. In addition, cotton cloth made possible the public display of largess involved in merit-making ceremonies, since monks' robes were typically made from cotton. -It is also possible that royalty were involved in the cotton trade. There was considerable demand for raw cotton by Yunnanese traders and some demand for cotton cloth in Burma (Bowie 1992; Hill 1982; Reid 1988:91). British vice consul Archer mentioned in his trade report of 1894 that "women's cloths of coarse cotton, woven by the Laos [were] sought after in Burma as being very durable," although he added that the export was not very considerable (1895). Such cloth, together with silk goods, could also have been offered as tribute to other kingdoms. However they used it, lords - because they could exact tribute and slave labor - found it much easier to acquire cloth than did commoners, who had to weave fabric themselves or find some other means of acquiring it. -Archival sources also indicate that royal slaves were involved in silk weaving. The British official A. H. Hildebrand noted, "There is a good deal of trade capable of being done also in silk garments and silk fancy work, at which the slaves and others are great adepts" (1875). It is not clear whether these slaves lived solely at the court or also in slave settlements established to produce cloth for the court. Silk weaving is known to have been done in only two areas outside the court itself: the towns of San Kamphaeng and Hot (and their immediate environs). While silk weaving continues to this day in San Kamphaeng, in Hot only traces survive in archival sources and in the memories of the town's oldest residents. No information survives to explain why Hot, a town some 70 kilometers from Chiang Mai, would have been a center of silk production and weaving, or why the industry died out. (Villagers said it was because the cocoons scared easily and so had died.) However, in San Kamphaeng a senior member of one of the prestigious silk-weaving families recounted the local version of the history of silk weaving in his area. According to his account, lords victorious in war would capture various kinds of artisans and resettle them in their own kingdoms. Thus, silversmiths were settled near the south end of Chiang Mai town, lacquer ware artists in another location, and weavers in San Kamphaeng. This account indeed suggests that the silk weavers in San Kamphaeng may have been royal slaves weaving at the behest of the court. -Some idea of the potential scale of royal weaving was given by D. J. Edwardes, who wrote that the ruling lord of Chiang Mai had 300 slaves weaving cloth for him (1875). It appears that these Chiang Mai silks were marketed in Burma. In his summary of the Chiang Mai kingdom, Lowndes commented: "Weaving and embroidery are the principal handicrafts, the silk putsoes [phaa nung] are much sought after by the Burmans, as they wear three times as long as those of Burmese manufacture" (1871). He made a similar point about the silk woven in Hot, noting that it was "said to be very strong and durable" and adding, "A thitgoung [headman] showed me a putso that he had had in wear for 7 years, and it was by no means worn out" (1871). -In San Kamphaeng, where silk production has continued to the present day, raw silk was imported from Luang Prabang, Laos, and later from Mandalay, Burma. Raw silk was also routinely imported by the Haw traders coming from Yunnan, China (Hill 1982; see also Bowie 1992). -The geographical distribution of raw materials had social implications. Since sufficient quantities of cotton grew in upland regions of northern Thailand to be readily exported, cotton was more accessible to ordinary villagers and could, in turn, be extracted by the ruling lords through tribute. Since silkworms were not abundant in northern Thailand, raw silk had to be imported. Silk's scarcity heightened its price and its prestige value, serving to concentrate silk weaving in the hands of the court. Aristocratic control of silk production was further aided by the fact that the silk fiber is very fine and hence is far more difficult and time-consuming to weave than cotton. -A comparison of cotton and silk production, then, reveals important contrasts. While cotton was exported, silk was imported into northern Thailand. While cotton was generally woven by freeholding villagers, silk seems to have been woven by slaves and members of the aristocracy. While villagers, except those who begged or stole their clothing, had to obtain textiles through direct economic means, aristocrats were able to augment their own production through the political means of tribute and slave labor. Furthermore, because poverty was widespread and not all villagers grew or wove cotton themselves, many villagers faced hardships in acquiring clothing of any kind for their families. -Understanding the process of textile production helps contemporary readers gain insight into the cultural meaning of cloth to 19th century northern Thai. Once we understand the chronic poverty of most villagers and the difficulty with which villagers obtained even the simplest of cotton cloth, the significance of cloth in daily life and in village rituals becomes clearer. Simultaneously, we can begin to enter the cultural world of 19th century villagers to learn the social meaning of the difference between clothes made of cotton and those made of silk. -Understanding the productive process also helps us appreciate the manner in which textiles were interwoven with royal authority. Because of their coercive power, the lords were able to exact cloth as tribute from freeholders and labor from slaves. Their political position reinforced their economic position, since the textiles - and other goods - they acquired through tribute and slave labor were apparently marketed for revenue. The revenue and surplus textiles they acquired through the labor of others, in turn, reinforced their political position. By sponsoring large, conspicuous merit-making ceremonies in which they gave robes and pillows to monks, the lords enhanced their prestige and, ironically, created an image of generosity. The fine silks in which the lords dressed themselves symbolized not only their distinction from the poor but also their own relationship to the political economy of the kingdom. -Combining oral histories with archival sources, this article has examined textile consumption and production in 19th century northern Thailand. If we have an understanding of the social process of textile production, the "concentrated meaning" (Barthes 1984:185) of northern Thailand textiles becomes more apprehensible. Such apparently minor details of fashion as the use of a silk skirt border - or, as one early observer phrases it, "a showy strip of wrought silk" - can no longer be interpreted as meaning that "rich and poor all dress[ed] alike" (Cort 1886:346). Important differences in dress, household possessions, and ritual prestations separated the aristocracy from the peasantry. These differences signified profound differences in the relationship of each to the political economy. Thus, the semiotics of consumption in northern Thai society is illuminated by an understanding of its political economy. This article on the consumption and production of textiles in 19th century northern Thailand has been at once a description of the social context of textiles and an exercise in historical anthropology. The evaluation and appropriate application of archival sources present a challenge to every historical anthropologist, since these sources are replete with omissions and distortions. However, by interweaving oral histories with archival sources, we can recapture much of the fabric of the past. Oral histories enhance the archival sources by contributing some sense of the lived experiences of the unrecorded majority. This article has shown how developing a better understanding of a society's political economy can provide an independent means to assess the opinions of outside observers of indigenous societies. -Acknowledgments. This article emerges from my dissertation fieldwork on 19th century political economy, conducted from 1984 to 1986 under the auspices of the National Research Council of Thailand with a grant from the Social Science Research Council. Subsequent fieldwork specifically on textile production was conducted during the summer of 1989 with a grant from the Graduate School of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. I would like to thank Cornelia Kammerer, Jean De Bernardi, Nicola Tannenbaum, Patricia Cheesman, Songsak Prangwatthanakun, Kristine Hastreiter, Kate Bjork, Hugh Wilson, and the American Ethnologist reviewers for their various contributions toward the research and writing of this article. -1 Edwardes' summary raises questions about Anthony Reid's conclusion that in Southeast Asia, "the difference in dress between rich and poor, servant and master, king and commoner, was less marked than in pre-industrial Europe, where each man's station and even vocation could be read in the prescribed style of dress" (1988:85). -2 The distinctions of dress appear to have been quite subtle at times. Crawfurd wrote, "The better classes permit the ends of the dress to hang loosely in front, but the lower orders tuck them under the body, securing them behind" (1987:313). -Although the older men in northern Thai villages sport tattoos, the practice has fallen out of vogue among the current generation of northerners. For more on the symbolism of tattoos, see Nicola Tannenbaum (1987). -4 In the course of my interviewing I also encountered villagers who made mention of sumptuary rules with regard to housing and clothing, but they were unable to recall any of the specifics. The quotation cited suggests not only that sumptuary laws existed but also that they varied by ruler and kingdom. -5 During dissertation fieldwork in 1984-86, I interviewed more than 500 villagers over the age of 80 living in about 400 villages throughout the Chiang Mai Valley. I repeatedly asked villagers for their recollections of life when they were young as well as for their memories of what their parents and grandparents had said about life in their days (see Bowie 1988). This article emerges from accidental observations made during my dissertation research. During the summer of 1989 I interviewed another 100 villagers, specifically asking about textiles. -6 Considerable confusion is caused by the various linguistic borrowings of the 19th century English language sources, which alternately use Indian, Burmese, and central Thai words to describe northern Thai clothing. Thus, terms such as phaa nung, lungi, and putso are used in ambiguous ways. In general, these terms refer to the lengths of cloth worn by both men and women on the lower half of the body. The lengths may be sewn into a tube (as in the phaa sin) or twisted into a thick cord worn between the legs (as in the phaa toi). To add to the confusion, the usage of these terms has changed over time. During the 19th century, phaa nung referred to the length of cloth worn on the lower part of the body by central Thai men and women alike, corresponding most closely to the phaa toi worn by northern Thai men. Over time the meaning has changed to refer to the tubular cloth, or phaa sin, worn during the 19th century by northern Thai women and now worn by women throughout the country. -8 Bock, writing in 1884, observed, "A few Lao women are beginning to wear tight-fitting jackets, cut to the shape of the figure, with equally tight sleeves, something after the style of the 'ladies' jerseys' recently so fashionable in Paris and London, and involving no small amount of labour to get on and off" (1986 :327). Writing at about the same time, Cort made a similar observation: "Some are beginning to wear jackets or waists, but the usual style is for the women to have a brightly colored cotton or silk scarf tied around their chests just under the arms" (1886:348). -9 The indigo-dyed cotton daew chador and indigo shirts now identified as stereotypical of the Thai peasantry appear to have been of recent vintage, dating from about the turn of the century. Ironically, the blue farmer shirts (sya moh hoom) now worn by university students and Thai officials to demonstrate Thai nationalist pride seem to have been popularized by Chinese merchants. The daew chador has more in common with Chinese-style loose-fitting pants than with the traditional phaa toi. Additional support for the view that jackets became more common as the century progressed are provided in a few passing comments. In 1868 Henry Alabaster detailed his recollections of people's dress ten years earlier, noting: "I remember that ten years ago at any of the great festivals which attracted there 40 or 50,000 spectators, almost all wore but one garment - or a sarong and scarf. Now almost every one adds thereto a cotton or silk jacket" (1868). Stringer, writing in his trade report of 1890 specifically about northern Thailand, commented, "The wearing of singlets and coats of European pattern by the men and cotton jackets by the women is becoming more common" (1891). -10 That cloth was highly valued elsewhere in Southeast Asia is also reflected in the following Burmese proverb: "If you are on the way to an ahlu [merit-making ceremony], do not wear your jacket; carry it and put it on when you arrive; it lasts longer that way" (Nash 1965:232). -11 "A comment on the poverty of temple slaves in Burma supplies further evidence that the sheer amount of cloth in one's clothing was an indication of economic status: "They are poor these slaves, the men wear no brilliant putsoes and the women wear no vest beneath their jacket" (Rangoon Gazette Weekly Budget 1899b). -12 The value of cloth is also suggested in a northern Thai rhyme describing the payment that three women received in return for sexual favors: "Miss Kum asked for silver, Miss Huan asked for cloth, Miss Noja asked for an elephant. Hurry up and finish Doctor" (Bristowe 1976:127, cited in Patel 1990:127). Cotton's value as a commodity is seen too in the fact that there were traveling minstrels who literally "sang for their cotton." A favorite form of village entertainment in the past was soh, witty and often bawdy repartee between a male and a female singer, with musical accompaniment. One especially popular form of soh was the soh kep nok, or "singing repartee to collect birds." In villages with surplus raw cotton, this soh would be performed as soh laek fai (singing in exchange for cotton). Each village household wishing a performance would build a tree as a stage prop, with cotton representing the birds in the tree. At a certain point in the plot, the male singer would then "shoot down" all the cotton birds and put them in his bag. Having collected all the cotton balls, the performers would then move to the next house where they had been invited to perform, again receiving cotton as payment. (For more on the soh kep nok performance itself, see Shim- bhanao 1982-84). -13 Nineteenth-century paintings have been preserved at Wat Phumin in Nan and Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Mai. -14 Because during times of peace Chiang Tung and Chiang Mai were closely linked by trade as well as by cultural and linguistic similarities, I include these descriptions of Chiang Tung in the discussion of northern Thailand. Kun or Khynn is the name of the ethnic group living in the region around Chiang Tung (Keng Tung), many of whom were brought to Chiang Mai as war captives and resettled there. -15 Stringer wrote that Manchester chowls, "of which four different sizes are sold, fetch from Rs. 20 to Rs. 24 per corge of 20 pieces, and the Bombay goods, also sold in four sizes, fetch from Rs. 17 to Rs. 20 per corge" (1891). Chowl is another word for phaa nung. According to T. Carlisle's 1899 trade report, chowl was "the Indian name for the Siamese 'phalai' or 'paley,' that is the 'phaanung' or lower portion of the Siamese costume printed and furnished with a glaze" (1900). In other words, it was a length of printed cloth some three to four meters long. A possibly higher figure for the price per length was given by Alabaster, who suggested that if the British could manufacture sarongs to sell retail at about 4 to 6 shillings apiece, they might find a market in Thailand (1868). Since the rupee was valued at 13 pence in 1895, this would suggest a cost of 3.7 to 5.6 rupees per length. However, I have no figures with which to calculate the shilling/rupee exchange rate for 1868. -16 James Ingram has done a remarkable job of gathering wage labor rates for central Thailand (1964). -17 1t is interesting that while remarking on the indolence of the natives, Black commented that it was "not uncommon to find Khamoos working for foresters who had failed to pay their wages for 5-6 years" (1900). -18 Until the early part of the 20th century, the Burmese rupee (called the taep in northern Thai) was the dominant currency in northern Thailand. The Siamese (central Thai) baht only became the standard currency thereafter. The baht equaled 100 satang. The exchange rate between the Siamese baht and the Burmese rupee fluctuated but was about 80 to 90 satang per rupee (according to interviews and Archer 1895). Since a win equaled 12 satang, it was approximately equivalent to one-seventh of a rupee. -19 The significance of sumptuary laws is ambiguous. On the one hand, the presence of such laws suggests an elite strong enough to have them passed; on the other hand, it also suggests an elite whose status is being undermined. It has been argued that in England, where a variety of such laws were passed, they represented not the strength of the aristocracy but its weakness vis-à-vis the growing fiscal strength of the bourgeoisie. Sumptuary laws have even been interpreted as the protectionist tactics of a local bourgeoisie protecting domestic production against foreign imports (see Hooper 1915). They have also been interpreted as paternalistic efforts by concerned governments to protect their citizens from profligacy (Phillips and Staley 1961). -21 Far more remains to be said about the raw materials needed for dyeing. For more on this and other dyes, see Prangwatthanakun and Cheesman (1987) and Fraser-Lu (1988). See Schneider (1976) for a fascinating discussion of the importance of dyes in the political economy of Europe. -22 A few of the traditional ordination pillows have survived. I saw one that was among a villager's last remaining unsold treasures; it had been made by his mother for his initiation. A triangular pillow made of black satin cloth, it had gold thread embroidered into a flower design at the points of the triangle. -23 Cloth that has been worn as a woman's phaa sin can be very powerful symbolically. Soldiers often wore pieces from their mothers' phaa sins to protect them in battle, with the idea that their mothers had done the most to give them life and would do the most to protect them. This symbolism becomes even more intriguing when considered in light of the famous myth of Queen Chamathevi. She wove pieces of a phaa sin into a hat for a suitor to ensure that his arrows would fall short of their mark and he would thus fail in his quest for her hand in marriage. The stratagem worked. -24 Textile production seems to have been a more important and more widespread part of the village household economy in northeastern than in northern Thailand. Consequently, I believe, cloth goods figured more prominently in wedding celebrations in the northeast. -26 The Pali word kathina means a piece of cloth that in former times was donated to a temple for making robes; alternatively, it means the wooden frame on which the cloth was traditionally sewn into robes (Davis 1984:200). -27 Even today kathin ceremonies are "most often sponsored by government agencies, private companies, and wealthy families" (Davis 1984:200). -28 The central Thai king, King Mongkut, wore robes of yellow silk while he was a monk (Feltus 1924:53). -Rich people didn't know how to spin or weave. They bought their clothes ready-made or hired other people to weave their cloth for them. Rich people were too lazy to weave for themselves. But some rich people were stingy; they wove their own clothes instead of hiring poor people. -30 lronically, Prangwatthanakun and Cheesman suggest that in the past "every woman owned at least one tin chok for special occasions" (1987:12). Because these borders required so much skill to weave and were so expensive to buy, I am quite skeptical of this claim. I think that only the wealthiest of villagers, or villagers who were themselves expert weavers, would have owned a tin jok. -31 Hildebrand did not specify how the slaves of the second chief were employed; however, we know from Bock's account that one of the second chief's wives had her slaves spin silk. Hildebrand wrote, "The second chief's source of income is not so calculable; he derives a good deal from the labor of his slaves, of whom, with his wives and children, he never has less than 600 under his roof, and the number outside would probably double this amount" (1875). -1868 Trade Report of Siam of 1867.

Allen. -The lockout of the musicians at the Minnesota Orchestra has been epic, lasting more than 15 months and involving some moves by the musicians and the orchestra’s donors to establish an alternative corporation. Is signing this contract going to make things all better? -The online nonprofit journalism site MinnPost started speculating this past week that the Minnesota Orchestral Association might be close to a contract with its musicians, who had been locked out for 474 days after rejecting a contract that would have included a 35 percent pay cut. NPQ has covered the grindingly long labor dispute repeatedly over the past year, and of late it was evident that there were a number of deadlines looming, including some that might have an effect on the organization’s lease on its performance space. Additionally, donor support for the musicians was solidifying into proposals not just for a split, but also for an attempt to attach the endowment of the Orchestral Association. A new nonprofit was being formed to act as home to an alternative to the MOA, and the musicians had raised $600,000 on their own. -But MinnPost reports on what is perhaps the most telling, albeit subtle, sign that a contract agreement was nigh was that during the intermission in Mozart’s Requiem this past weekend, the musicians, who have been performing on their own, did not make their usual announcement of the lockout from the stage. -The now agreed-upon three-year contract will require only a 15 percent pay cut, which means that the compensation at MOA will remain among the top 10 percent of orchestras in the U.S., although there are other compensation-affecting elements of the contract. The most interesting part of the contract is a revenue-sharing clause for the musicians, based on the rate of return on the orchestra’s endowments. -There have been compromises on both sides, and the contract will likely be a welcome step forward to the community, but there have been many losses in the interim, what with Osmo Vänskä, the MOA’s brilliant music director, and a number of other key players leaving. There are only 77 musicians, instead of the 95 that both sides see as being optimal. Additionally, among those who remain, many, in an attempt to stay solvent, have outstanding commitments to other orchestras. -As an aesthetic and social phenomenon of the modern age, of all other fine arts, the poster reflects most accurately, clearly and acutely the political and social climate of its time. Most often anonymous, genuinely street born, the Poster is the fastest to reach its viewers. It should hit with its calling power, it should be a slogan, a sign, a spell and a symbol. It has to be convincing and persuasive. -The history of the 20th century Bulgarian political poster has its ups and downs. It becomes a flag of the left-wing forces between the two world wars, proclaiming the new social ideas of time. In the years immediately after September 9, 1944 artists without special training in the field of poster art – graphics and painters, pave the way for the Bulgarian poster, search and find its essence, specifics and means of expression. During the Cult of Stalin Bulgarian poster becomes a substitute of its own, obeying the lowly criteria and directives of the regulatory aesthetics. In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, several generations of professionally-trained poster artists bring poster art to its contemporary level of achievements, and the variety of their plastic visions determines the character of the Bulgarian poster school. -The New Political Poster exhibition is a joint project of the Museum of Socialist Art and the National Academy of Art. It offers an alternative point of view, a new focus on the thematic issues of the museum institution. Furthermore, it is an opportunity for expression of the younger generation of Bulgarian poster artists. -I am sure that in solving their academic tasks, students have faced all the challenges of the most complex and specific genre variety of the poster – the political theme. Today poster art is free from the ideological pressure of the past, from political and aesthetic “considerations”, from the dictum of the investor in the face of a party and a state. Now the question is what will be the new face of the Bulgarian political poster and what will be its public resonance. I think that the New Political Poster exhibition is relevant both to the issues it is examining and to the dialogue between the Museum and its audience. Here I see a chance to assess the ability of artistic and public awareness, responsiveness, understanding and attitude towards the social problems of today. -The reason for organizing this event is the comment of the journalist Stefan Djambazov from Въпреки.com about the very few political and social posters in our exhibition on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Specialty in Bankya Art Center. -Naturally, I did not quite agree with that statement, and referred to the genre variety sought in the selection. I also made it clear that our students have a specific learning task in their curriculum – the political poster. -Soon after that, in a purposefully made conversation with the artist Nikolay Ushtavaliiski, I shared mine and my students' intention to visit the Museum of Socialist Art, whose curator is he. Nikolay suggested that it would be a good idea if our visit to the Museum was followed by a poster exhibition. The museum we have not reached yet, but bringing the two comments together is how the idea for this event was born. The students received urgent tasks, so the majority of the posters in this exhibition were made in the last two months and added to the work of the past few years. Together with our colleagues from the Department we selected this exposition, and Prof. Georgi Iankov proposed the name New Political Poster. -This year our Specialty has had good cooperation with many organizations and cities, including the 70-year-old Dimitrovgrad. Today we celebrate another initiative with the 70th anniversary of the National Gallery. We are grateful for the invitation and the opportunity to show some of the works of our smart and talented students. Our hope is to present here the new face of the Bulgarian political poster, especially because we are among those who remember the old one. Let us hope that our students, having, for their own benefit, faced a past that is distant for them, will enjoy greater freedom to think about the present and the future. -Poster and Visual Communication Dept. -Apple announced the 4th generation iPod touch.

I don’t think I need to rehash something that we all know and feel…but I did want to share this article written by Nia Vardalos (from My Big Fat Greek Wedding). It’s a great way to explain what we all go through, not just on Mother’s Day, but every day that we struggle with infertility and loss. -In some amazingly good news, my blog friend K from Waiting for Sunflower has had her little baby boy!! I’m so happy for her. She and I have almost parallel stories (PCOS, MTHFR, 2 miscarriages) – I’m so happy that she has finally gotten her Sunflower, she deserves every bit of happiness. If you have some time, swing over to her blog and leave her a note of congratulations! -In other news, please keep K from Waiting for Sunflower in your thoughts, prayers, ritual sacrifices, whatever it is that you do. She is getting nearer and nearer to her due date. She will be induced on Friday morning unless the little guy decides to make his appearance before that. Please offer her support as she prepares to meet her baby! -Doody called “Online Infertility Community Celebrates National Awareness Week“ and in the article, there is a link back to my post about our #infertility campaign on Twitter! How exciting is that!!! And some of you were quoted from your Tweets that day! Check it out and marvel at the power of social networking to help bring awareness about infertility, during NIAW and all year long! We rock ladies (and gents…)!! -So yesterday you may have noticed my blog about my Twitter campaign. I’ve met an AMAZING group of women and men through Twitter that are suffering or have dealt with infertility. Many of them have blogs, but not all do. It’s a great place to go for instant advice or support in this IF world. The friends I’ve meet through my blogging and twitter worlds are beyond wonderful. They have been there for me during my 2 miscarriages, through 3 of my 4 IUI’s (during my 1st one I had not yet begun to blog), during my worries of finances to pay for it all, new diagnosis’ and my continuing journey to find my way down this Long and Winding Road. -Well, I signed on to Twitter today at work like I do. I normally just check it when I have some spare time and see what people are up to. Offer support to those in a difficult place in their journey and rejoice with those who receive good news. I don’t know when or why the idea popped into my head, but I decided that #infertility needed to be a trending topic on Twitter. If you’re not familiar with how Twitter works, I’ll try to give a brief description. You get 140 words to say something to those that “follow” you – anyone who has signed up to can see what you say, and you see what others say, based on who you follow. They also have this trending topics thing, where if you put a # in front of a word, Twitter tracks it. The more people who say that word in a tweet, the more popular the topic becomes. On the side bar of your Twitter page there is a “top 10” of sorts of the words that are “trending” the highest – those that are mentioned the most by everyone who has a Twitter account. -So, like I said, I decided to make #infertility one of the Top 10 on April 19th…So I said: “we should try to make #infertility a trending topic…who’s in??” Soon I had a few of my followers joining in on the idea! We were tweeting to each other about making people more aware of infertility or supporting each other through laughter (@fromiftowhen mentioned she’d like to get shirts made that say “I was out of the office b/c I was getting knocked up by my doc”). Soon there were a ton of tweets going back and forth in the IF twitter community mentioning #infertility and trying to get others to join the campaign! I shared some statistics on infertility “National Survey of Family Growth 1995: approx 6.1 mil women & partners in US are affected by #infertility that’s10% of reproductive-age pop” which were retweeted (repeated by someone else so all of their followers could see what I said) by @wombwarrior. -Soon I decided it was time to go on the offensive and attack the current trending topics, hoping that would help. -Other topics were discussed: what has infertility taught you? Who supports you in your IF journey? I got to know so much about my IF Twitter community today, it was amazing! I also “met” a ton of new IFers on Twitter and got a lot of new followers. -In the end however, we did not make it to the Top 10 Trending Topics today – but I’m not giving up! National Infertility Awareness Week is April 24-May 1, 2010. This week was created by Resolve, a great organization focused on bringing issues of infertility to light and making sure that we are spoken for in this world! I’m going to re-launch my campaign on April 26th (that’s next Monday) to get #infertility to be a Trending Topic on Twitter! I’m hoping with some planning ahead and getting the word out there we can do it this time! I’m even going to try and get the word to Ellen DeGeneres via Twitter (thanks for the idea Twitter ladies! I’m not sure who @ replied her first, if it was you, let me know so I can give you credit here) to have she and her fans help our #infertility trending campaign. -I can’t do this with out you, my fellow Tweeters! Spread the word! Blog about the campaign! Tell all of your friends, IRL (in real life) and online!! Please help me to achieve this goal – together I KNOW that we can do it! We will begin on April 26th, whatever time zone you’re in when that day roles around, begin to add #infertility to all of your tweets, even if they’re not about infertility! Every tweet counts!! -Thank you, thank you everyone – hope to see you again on April 26th! -In other news, I’m starting a campaign of sorts on Twitter today. I’ve found an awesome community of IF tweeps (?), tweeters (?), twitterers (?)…anyway, a lot of them are people that I follow on their blogs, but with twitter there is an instant support network when things go good or bad in the IF life…If you’re not on Twitter, you can ignore this appeal (or join to help!). If you ARE on Twitter, I’m trying to get the word #infertility trending today. All you have to do is tweet something and add the word #infertility with the little hash tag/number sign thing-y. I’d love to bring some more awareness to the world about infertility and all the crap we have to go through! If you can help, that’d be awesome! -Hope you are all well and that your cycles, pregnancies and/or new babies are going great! -It is a very serious disease and the only “cure” is to completely cut out all gluten from your diet. As you may imagine, this severely limits ones food choices. Although, a lot of G-free foods are very tasty! I’ve had a lot since she was diagnosed and made many myself. When it’s a matter of life or death (which it is for her…if she has gluten it could kill her) you find ways! -Why am I bringing this up here? Well the very lovely and talented Stirrup Queen posted a link on her Twitter to this article linking celiac disease with infertility. Celiac disease blocks your body for absorbing nutrients (such as Vitamin D, calcium and Folic Acid…seem important?), there by causing fertility issues and recurrent miscarriages. The article points to a blogger, Waiting in Sunshine and her post about her celiac’s and infertility. -I think this is an important issue to look into for those of us still in the trenches. In April I go in for some big blood work to see if there is any reason I continue to loose my babies. The PCOS explains my difficulty getting pregnant (though with metformin now, we seem to have helped that problem out a lot) but now we’re looking into why I can’t stay pregnant. The MFM doc I saw didn’t see any reason in my ultrasound and past testing to explain it. What if all my tests come back okay? What then? I don’t think I have any of the celiac symptoms, but the blood test is so easy to check for it, and I know there are clinics that offer free testing for it all the time. It would be something to look into if there is no other explanation. I’m not putting this up here to make everyone think that there IF/miscarriage issues are caused by celiac disease. I’m just saying it’s certainly something to consider if all else fails. -This post is about something I just heard about today (thanks to Maybe Baby?). If you go to this website, you’ll find out that today all around the world people are lighting candles to remember the children that we have lost. What you’re supposed to do is light a candle at 7:00 pm to remember your little one or perhaps to remember a child that a loved one has lost. Please, if you are able, join with us and light a candle tonight. -Usually I find my next knitting project by browsing patterns online until something catches my eye. Not this time! This time I knew exactly what I wanted: a shawl-collared, long-sleeved cardigan knit in a slightly variegated gray yarn. I finally settled on the Georgetown Cardigan pattern knit with madelinetosh Tosh Vintage in the colorway Great Grey Owl. Tosh Vintage is so squishy and wonderful, but luxury yarn comes with a luxury price tag. Fortunately I had some money from my birthday (thanks, Gramma and Grampa!) and justified the big purchase knowing how much use I will get from this sweater! -It's been kinda hot until recently. -I'm trying to protect it from spit-up or other baby slime as long as possible. I know it won't be forever. Sigh. -A large part of my enjoyment of new clothes comes from looking at them before I wear them! Sometimes I hang them at the front of my closet for a couple weeks. This sweater has been sitting folded on top of our dresser since I finished it. -Soon it will be in heavy rotation in my wardrobe. I look forward to snuggling up in my cozy cardigan this winter! -I bought one of the Cycleworks engine stand faceplates and made a simple mod to it so that it would fit my VW/Porsche engine stand. -The two holes that need to be drilled are 8.5" center to center, and they are 2" from each side and ⅞" from the bottom. Photos are self-explanatory. -I haven't tried mounting my /2 engine on it yet (it is still in the bike). If the bolt heads are in the way I'll substitute flat head screws. -looks like it should work really well. -Lets hope you don't NEED to use it anytime soon. -Jobless and with a ticking travel visa time-bomb attached to them in the United States, one Singaporean couple did this: Walked more than 2.5km along the majestic Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco, spend almost 11 hours moving up and down the ageless Grand Canyon on a mule, and drove through the dry marshes of the iconic Trona Pinnacles. -If that was not captivating enough, all of the above -and more- was captured by Lester Lee and his girlfriend, Charmaine Goh, using just a 4.9 inch (12.4cm) iPhone. So how did they do it? -The answer is a combination of mobile applications, huge lungs and a bit of a MacGyver thinking. For instance, to take a stable shot while in a moving vehicle such as the four-wheel ride across the Trona Pinnacles, Lester decided to take a long breath while filming. -“I just tried my best to stabilise it by holding on to my breath. The most of it actually is just cutting away the shaky parts and show the stable parts. Another way we did is to put our iPhone on to the car’s window flat on. It just stabilises the video so well. We’ve no physics explanation or what for that but it works!” Lester exclaimed. -Viewers are in for a visual treat throughout the 5-minute video named Small Steps – USA, with a generous amount of time-lapses adorning parts of it. Before taking the time-movement shots with his iPhone, Lester researched and utilised the relevant apps available. -“Time-lapse is surprisingly easy and amazingly great for an iPhone. It was my first time trying time-lapse on an iPhone so I went to Google for the best apps for it at the moment. We found Timelapse and Gorillacam app free and tried both. We invested in a simple, small and affordable Gorillapod suitable for smart phones,” Lester explained. -Perhaps more compelling than watching uber-beautiful sceneries outdoing each other in a video is the story behind it. Although smiling faces are aplenty in the film, Lester reveals that the couple had originally went to the United States last September to get a job. -For three months, the couple scoured for openings, attended interviews but all they got back were disappointment as no company was willing to sponsor them. -“We always habour some thoughts of working overseas and wanted to give it a try too … But unfortunately 3 months later after several interviews we didn’t managed to find a company willing to be our sponsor and return home,” Lester explained. -Lester took about two weeks to complete Small Steps – USA. The art director also designed the opening graphics of the video, one which he said was inspired by the native American Indian petroglyphs when the couple visited the Indian reservation area in the south-west of USA. -The iPhone may be less powerful than a DSLR, but one of the boons of using the former while travelling is surely its size and portability. Nonetheless, the video has also taught Lester about a smartphone’s many other benefits as an image-capturing companion, such as satisfying one’s social-sharing instincts. -“I’ve once travelled with a point and shoot camera, a GoPro with all these stabilisers and mounts and batteries and iPhone. During the trip, I was just frustrated by the amount of things I was carrying. After the trip, I realise my iPhone’s photos are better than the point and shoot camera and GoPro. And I’m able to upload it to social media platforms for conveniently,” Lester said. -Between having walked along one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and witnessing the razzing sun on mega plateaus, Small Steps – USA seems to have taught us that memories don’t come from the most expensive equipment but from the best travel buddies. Including the iPhone. -I have discussed previously the locomotive assignment booklets used for a number of years by Southern Pacific, and commented about how to use such a booklet for choosing my 1953 locomotives to model (you can see it at: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2011/04/choosing-1953-locomotive-roster.html ). But I didn’t say much in that post about the assignment booklets themselves. I want to say more in this post. -Shown below is the cover of a typical booklet, this one for March 31, 1950. These were issued quarterly, and naturally describe all locomotives on the Pacific Lines part of the SP system (the summary shows system-wide totals for all Pacific Lines divisions). You can click on the image to enlarge it. -Within the booklet, each division had a separate listing. I show below the two pages for the Coast Division, which is the division within which my layout is sited. Of course this division extended far beyond the area I model, from Santa Barbara in the south, to San Francisco, and thus included the entire Peninsula commuter district (at that time, spanning San Francisco-San Jose). Here is page 11 of the March 31, 1950 booklet. -Note here that at this time there were 13 diesel switchers and 26 steam switchers, along with nine Consolidations and a Mogul also assigned to yard service, to do the division’s switching. In addition to large yards at Bayshore and Santa Clara, division point yards at Watsonville Junction, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara had to be worked. -The second page, page 12 of the booklet, shows the remaining engines. -It is interesting, looking at these two pages, to see the large number of Consolidations, and the relatively small number of cab-forwards at this time, and only five A-B-B-A sets of F units. That would change as dieselization proceeded, because the new F units were preferentially assigned at first in desert and mountain regions, where their tractive effort and absence of water consumption made them big advances over steam power. Meanwhile, the displaced steam gradually migrated into California on the lesser gradient areas, including Coast Division. -Commute service on this division accounts for the substantial number of Pacifics, Mountains and GS 4-8-4s on the roster, relative to most other SP divisions at the time. -I have chosen my locomotive numbers from these assignments, combined with examination of yard and roundhouse photos at San Luis Obispo, the nearest locomotive facility to my layout’s mythical Santa Rosalia Branch. Among the Consolidations listed on page 11, you can see numbers 2592, 2752, and 2829, all of which are on my layout. I also have an S-2 diesel switcher no. 1389, which as you can see was also on this division. The booklet shown above is for 1950, but in 1953 these same engines were still at San Luis Obispo. -I discussed these same issues, and showed a San Luis roundhouse photo, in the post cited at the top of this post, along with showing a 1952 locomotive assignment sheet. One of the truly distinctive locomotives assigned for years at San Luis Obispo was Consolidation 2592. In the last years of its active life, it had a “whaleback” tender inherited from an early cab-forward. Here is one view of the engine switching at San Luis Obispo, taken in January 1954 by Rod Crossley. Note that the road name on the side of the tender is smaller than was standard after 1946. -This locomotive is Class C-9, built by Baldwin in 1906, and like many Harriman Consolidations, so useful that it remained in service when newer and more modern engines were going to scrap. -Here is my model of SP 2592, switching on my layout at Ballard. This model combines a Key brass SP 2-8-0 with a Westside brass tender, making this a distinctive locomotive. Today it also has DCC and sound, thanks to Al Massi. -This single locomotive example illustrates one way to use the assignment sheets, combined with photographic evidence of how locomotives were configured and even lettered, to provide a realistic part of a layout locomotive fleet. -I have written several times about the variety of commodities carried in tank cars, and the fact that certain commodities required special cars. Of course, many edible products and many simple chemicals can be carried in general-service tank cars, AAR class TM and ICC class 103, or even in non-regulated tank cars of classes like AAR-201 and AAR-203. But many corrosive, flammable, dangerous, or poisonous commodities have regulatory limits to how they are shipped, and must be carried in certain types of tank cars suitable for those cargoes. -A fairly complete table, occupying 14 book pages, was issued by American Car & Foundry, and was published as an Appendix to Edward S. Kaminski’s book, Tank Cars, American Car & Foundry, 1865 to 1955 (Signature Press, Berkeley, 2003). But of course not everyone has that book on their shelf, even though as a partner in the publisher, I think they surely ought to own the book . -A comparable table was published and distributed by General American Transportation Corporation, in several editions over the years. I have a copy of the one published in 1961. It is a most informative document, filled with operating directions, general arrangement drawings for complete cars, and also detail drawings of specific parts. Here is the cover (a little worn with use). -Anyone can download the PDF for their use, or print it if desired. -In an upcoming column in the “Getting Real” column series in Model Railroad Hobbyist, I will be discussing tank car construction and details, as well as usage, and this commodity table will be one of the tools to identify cars with cargoes. -It’s my hope that this table will be use to modelers who wish to correctly marry their tank car models with appropriate waybills for suitable cargoes. That is the main way I use either one of the two tables (from AC&F or General American), and there are only a few differences in detail between the two. -Among the refrigerator car owners from which Pacific Fruit Express borrowed cars during the PFE peak harvest months was Fruit Growers Express. These borrowed reefers could be any available cars from the entire FGEX fleet, including associated fleets from the Burlington (BREX) and Great Northern (WFEX), fleets which were operated by Fruit Growers as fully part of the FGEX fleet. For this reason, I need to model some of these cars. I already have on my roster a steel BREX car and wood-sheathed cars from WFEX and FGEX. But I could use one or two more. -A number of years ago, at a swap meet, I saw a fairly nicely assembled reefer from a Red Ball kit (or I believe that was the origin), for one of the Pennsylvania Railroad R7 refrigerators. It had been painted in a layout owner’s paint scheme of white sides with a horizontal blue frame stripe, but didn’t look too bad otherwise. The price was right, just one dollar as I recall, so I bought it. -I knew that when the PRR had joined Fruit Growers in the 1920s, the existing R7 cars had been transferred to FGE ownership. This car, as many know, was the refrigerator version of the X23 box car, with a complex pressed-steel exterior frame, built starting in 1913. This makes the exterior of the R7 visually striking, and I thought this would be an interesting addition to my FGEX fleet. -I should quickly interject that I know perfectly well this model falls far short of the beautiful Westerfield kit for these cars (kit 1160x, with the “x” being a number for three different roof versions available), and these are in stock as far as I know (you can check availability on their website, at http://www.westerfieldmodels.com/ ). But this is not a central part of my reefer fleet, so I’m willing to accept the compromises of this version. You may of course reach the opposite conclusion for your fleet. -It was easy to mask the boxcar red roof and ends and repaint the sides a golden yellow, as Fruit Growers used. Lettering was the next challenge. Although I am not aware of a decal sheet exactly for these R7 cars, the excellent Speedwitch Media set D119.1, for 1948-era paint, looked like it would work. These cars had been put into the FGEX number series 43500–46999, and even in the 1950s, some of these cars soldiered on in Fruit Growers service. Below is a prototype photo, taken in Sioux City, Iowa on September 30, 1952 (from the Bob’s Photo collection, used with permission). The car at left is notably taller. The R7 car height was not unusual in 1913, but cars gradually got taller and taller in the ensuing 50 years, up to my modeling year of 1953. -I chose a car number within the series noted above, and applied the decals, then weathered the model to suggest a car with lengthy service since it was last painted. In the photo below, notice how much shorter the car is, compared to the PFE steel reefer to its left, just like the photo above. -In service, these cars were limited by their small interior height and lack of floor racks, plus relatively thin insulation. They were accordingly used for dense cargoes like potatoes, or cargoes not requiring low transit temperatures, such as onions. I will waybill them accordingly on my layout, and am pleased to have one of these distinctive cars in my freight car fleet. -Most of us have a stash of kits and materials, sometimes impressively large (I’ve known modelers whose stash rivaled a small hobby shop), others much less so. And most of us know that an awful lot of the stuff is not going to get built or the materials used. That’s more obvious with a huge stash, where a program of building at a rate of a kit a week might require a decade or more at that rate to make a sizable dent in the total. But even a smaller stash may contain a fair amount of stuff that no longer fits your needs or interests. -I should say right away that I have no problem with kit collectors. I have known some, and was truly impressed with their encyclopedic knowledge of kit manufacturers and history. But sometimes you are surprised when you run into one. I once bought a couple of Authenticast slag car kits in a convention sales room, and when I let slip that I was looking forward to building them, the seller practically tried to grab them back from me. “Build them . . .” he said in dismay. I got out of there as fast as I could (by the way, they still aren’t built, as the smelter I once contemplated hasn’t materialized). But really, I’m sure I’m not a collector. -Here’s a photo of what these kits look like. -But when I say I’m not a collector, what I mean is that I really intend (at the time) to build or use the stuff I buy, though I will concede that some of my purchases have been with the thought that someday I might need that item. And we have all learned in our years in the hobby that if in doubt, buy it. It will likely cease to be available, either out of production or the kit maker out of business or something else. Buy it now or regret it later, the saying goes. I have certainly followed that injunction in some cases. -Naturally many of those purchases, made with the best of intentions, somehow slip out of contention for building or use, like my slag cars. And certainly freight car kits, of which I once had a truly serious stash, can pile up on you in the most unnerving fashion. The question is how you evaluate this. Maybe you are turning into a collector and haven’t realized it yet. A clue is when you really like owning “that kit” or “that brass engine” but have no interest in building or painting it, and certainly no interest in selling it. Nothing wrong with that, though I do advocate facing up to the reality that is right under your nose. -Or maybe you have just let things get out of hand. You know perfectly well that some of those kits were bought with objectives in mind that are no longer operative. I used to pick up structure kits all the time, when I lived in Pittsburgh and my layout had several sizable areas which were undefined, and thus could conceivably host any one of a number of structures. Now those areas are far distant in the rear-view mirror, and the kits, though still kind of nice, are clearly surplus. And there were plenty of freight car kits on my shelf which, when I looked at them objectively, really were not needed for my freight car fleet nor were sufficiently “fun” just to build. That makes ’em surplus. -I have written in earlier posts about the gradual change in my freight car fleet, with the disposal of older models as well as unneeded kits (for example: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-right-size-freight-car-fleet.html ). The process continues. I never planned to replace the older models which were the best I could do at that time (remember when Athearn “Blue Box” box cars were the starting point for all 40-foot steel box cars?), but that’s what has been happening over the last two decades. I have now disposed of close to 350 cars, in the form of kits and of older, complete models, and have acquired or built about 275 new cars, in kit or ready-to-run form. The net effect has been to reduce my stash of car kits substantially. Resin in particular has been addressed very thoroughly, with more than 125 resin car kits either built or sold. -One good effect of car kits of various kinds passing through my hands is that in many cases I have made a Xerox copy of kit instructions to keep, as the information can be pretty valuable in itself, not only the prototype data but model-building techniques. I even like to look at the instructions for kits owned for a long time, as a reminder of what I once wanted to do, and that can refresh some of my present planning. So even keeping your stuff moving can leave you with something of value. -Practically every modeler has a stash of some kind, whether it’s structure or car kits like I discussed above, or brass engines that you “might need,” or materials like brick paper or basswood sheet or flat brass wire or . . . you recognize the pattern. This can be an asset when you need something out of that collection, but may need to be dealt with when it starts to overflow the storage space — or overflow what you are comfortable holding on to. It just needs to be evaluated from time to time. -Over the years, I have accumulated a few older models that continue to serve as “mainline” freight cars, that is, cars which normally do not get switched to or from my on-layout industries, but simply pass by in the mainline freight trains (this was discussed in the last paragraph of this post: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2010/12/upgrading-old-models-3.html ). Some of these have older trucks I had never bothered to replace, and recently I got to looking at a few of them and decided they needed to be upgraded. If nothing else, this can be seen as a response in accord with my freight car standards (see for example: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2011/03/model-freight-car-standards.html ), but also reflects problems like oversize flanges, out-of-tram truck behavior, or other operational issues. -As an example, I will use a Mantua reefer. Minimal upgrading had been done to it, retaining its molded-on grab irons and sill steps, but with a reasonable paint and lettering job, as well as weathering. I have been working on some other “mainline” cars also needing new trucks, including some old tank car models and two Athearn metal house cars, but will just describe the Mantua example. -Shown above is the car body, prepared as described. Notice the route card, located right outside the black rectangle identified as the location for such cards. This card location is often seen in photos, no doubt deliberately done by car clerks who didn’t wish to be dictated to. The car is intended to represent the MDT cars with steel ends and wood-sheathed sides built in 1941. -The problem with the trucks can be seen in the view below. The Mantua truck is assembled as two cast metal sideframes, with a sheet steel bolster inserted into each sideframe. The sharp “cookie cutter” wheel flanges are an artifact of the 1950s. You can click to enlarge. -I first tried to disassemble the truck so the wheelsets could be replaced, but could not separate the parts. Also, I could see that the axle ends of the Mantua wheelsets are very narrow, so that the sideframes would not readily accept modern wheelsets. I decided to just replace the entire truck. -The original truck screws are very short and work only with the sheet-metal bolster shown above, so I simply tapped the hole deeper with a 2-56 tap, and chose new screws. -One can of course apply a generic AAR truck to cars like this. However, there are plentiful resources in existence to provide prototype information. In the case of MDT, the book Merchants Despatch, by Roger C. Hinman (Signature Press, 2011) is the relevant example, and I examined a number of photos in the book to choose a suitable truck for this model. I ended up using the Tahoe Model Works truck TMW-106, an ARA sideframe design with spring planks, produced by Buckeye. -The kind of job shown above on the Mantua reefer is almost trivial, except that it brings another car into conformance with standards, and also makes for better operation, when the oversize flanges of the Mantua wheelsets are replaced. In actuality, this kind of task goes on all the time with my fleet, and I only mention this instance here to use it as an example of the process. -I’ve just returned from a visit to Cuba on a licensed “People to People” tour, and there were plenty of interesting aspects to the trip, but here I will just write about the railroad and modeling aspects of interest. -First, a little history. Cuba developed a rail network very early, plenty of it to serve sugar mills and plantations, but plenty more to connect cities. By 1958, Cuba had the most rail mileage per square mile of any country in the world. After the 1959 revolution, the existing railway companies were nationalized as Ferrocarriles Nationales de Cuba, which they remain today. An unfortunate aspect of a single national railway entity on an island is that there is no need to letter the name or even the initials of the owner on any equipment; there is no interchange. Rolling stock thus has a rather bare look, often bearing only a number and some very minor dimensional data. -The FC, as it’s often designated, dieselized its main lines in the 1960s, and sugar operations gradually followed suit, eliminating steam on even the most backward plantations by about 2000. But many small steam locomotives have been preserved, and a few restored for tourism. Because of the U.S. embargo, new locomotives and rolling stock have been purchased elsewhere throughout the world, from the Soviet Union and China, to France, Germany, Britain and countries in eastern Europe, and in recent years, even freight cars from Iran. The resulting fleet is polyglot, to say the least. -I will only show a few photos, and apologize in advance for not knowing more about the prototypes. I searched a number of Cuban bookstores for locomotive or train books, and found almost nothing. The internet coverage is spotty and sometimes contradictory. I hope anyone with a more substantial knowledge of the subject can help. But these are only intended as illustrations. -In Camaguey, the old railway station is terribly decrepit, though restoration is in progress, and a small replacement depot was very crowded. I was able to watch and photograph from trackside considerable switching activity, including adding cars to a departing passenger train, without attracting the least attention. Here is one of the Russian-built locomotives, no. 81001, I believe type TEM2, of which I saw several on our trip, in the red and yellow scheme which seems to be for freight power. These things sound a lot like Alcos. -The passenger power largely seemed to have an attractive scheme of dark and light blue. Passenger rolling stock ranged from stainless cars built by Budd, to very run-down standard steel coaches, to newer center-entrance cars looking much like box cars, and apparently built new that way. Note over the door the initials FC, not visible on many cars or locomotives. -The Chinese company, formerly called China North Locomotive and Rolling Stock Industry (CNR) sold a fair number of locomotives to Cuba, and if I correctly understood the halting English of a trainman standing alongside one of them at Camaguey, they are hard to keep running. -In a couple of places there were switchers in a pleasant orange and gray scheme, like no. 38063 here, but I have not been able to find out where they were built. It was picking up this head-end car. -But enough about rolling stock I didn’t understand very well. The most stunning thing about Cuba, speaking as a modeler, is that walking in every city is like being in a 1950s movie. New American cars stopped arriving in Cuba in 1959, so there are 1950s American cars just everywhere. I knew they were there, but really had no idea how prevalent they are: they are not exceptions, they are the dominant car on the street. And even cars from the late 1930s and the 1940s can be seen too. I will only show a few of the many photos I took, and I can tell you, I plan to duplicate some of these models (though not the colors) on my 1953 layout. -Many of the restored cars have been repainted in brilliant colors, and few have that many original mechanical parts. Suspensions are visibly altered, almost every car has modern wheels, and I was told that engines are rarely original (as was often evident from the sound). Many Russian and European parts have kept the cars running, and even homemade parts are used, attempting to replicate the unavailable American originals. There are lots of convertibles, partly because many of the cars are in use as privately-owned taxis, but there are also “classic car club” stickers on many cars. Owners are usually very proud of their car, and most speak English and are delighted to speak to an American. -I am interested in correct model years, partly for modeling reasons, but I found car-spotting in Cuba to be a challenge. Not only may such spotting features as chrome trim as well as tail lights and other items be missing or replaced, even major visuals like grilles may be swapped. I saw an early 1950s Chevrolet with an unmistakable Buick grille, and a 1940s Ford with a unique homemade grille. This makes one a little cautious about identification of an individual car. So I will just show a few of the photos I liked. The massed taxis at places like the Parque Centrale in Havana are one good illustration, of the variety, the frequency of convertibles, and the bright replacement colors. -Another street scene in Havana found my wife Mary alongside what I think is a 1951 Chevy sedan, clearly with replacement paint though otherwise looking more original than most. But like nearly every car, hub caps have vanished over the years. -Here are a couple more that I really liked seeing, first a handsome 1955 Ford at a cafe on the road heading for Havana. -Last, a superb Studebaker on the main square in Cienfuegos, I think a 1951. We also saw Edsels, International and Dodge pickups, and many more . . . but I digress. -You can see that it was a visually interesting trip, and of course fascinating in many other ways too, most enjoyable for us both. -I have alluded in prior posts in the “Waybills” series to the extremely valuable publications issued by many (maybe most) railroads, called a Shipper’s Guide, Industrial Directory, List of Industries, or some similar title. These documents list all on-line shippers and receivers, and are obviously superb resources. These are quite rare in the field of railroad paper items, in original form, and tend to be hard to find, even at railroad museums and archives, but luckily a number have been reprinted in recent years for modelers’ use. I am using reprinted Shipper Guides from Ted Schnepf’s “Rails Unlimited” business, for Great Northern, D&RGW, Union Pacific, Mopac / T&P, and Milwaukee Road. All these except the D&RGW one are available through Rails Unlimited (and here’s a link to their website: http://railsunlimited.ribbonrail.com/Books/shippers.html ; click on Books). There are several posts in which I have commented about these documents (for example, this one: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2012/02/waybills-18-resources.html ). -Inside are 258 pages packed with irreplaceable information about both shippers and consignees throughout the sprawling Rock Island system. I will just show a single page to illustrate the kind of information presented. You can click on the image to enlarge it. -The information is self-explanatory except for the far-right column, headed “SWG” (for “switching”), which shows whether sidings are accessible by reciprocal switching arrangements (called “open”) or not (“closed”). The five towns listed, each in a different state, are evidently small and have only a few industries each. By contrast, cities like Houston, Kansas City, Denver, or Minneapolis require dozens of pages to list all industrial customers. -In fact, this 1971 Rock Island Directory is so comprehensive, it now joins my Great Northern Guide (also from Rails Unlimited) as my favorite useful and wide-ranging source of traffic information. -There is another source of this kind of information about shippers and consignees, namely the large list compiled by the OpSIG group (Operations SIG of NMRA), which is available at their website, www.opsig.org, under “Online Resources,” and then “Industry Database.” This collected information is a fine effort by OpSIG and continues to grow, but be careful, as it is for a wide range of eras. Usually the date for each entry is shown, so it is possible to choose only the ones that fit your era. And though very extensive, it is in general less complete for a specific place than a Shipper Guide. -In place of the process just describe, one can of course “imagineer” company names for either consignees or shippers if desired, but I like to find authentic ones where possible, partly because the “real names” often sound particularly realistic, as in this case. I cannot praise enough the value of a Shipper Guide in assisting you in that process, should you wish to work in that direction. -Several years ago, I posted some comments to this blog about how I manage the flow and storage of the rolling stock on my layout (you can read it at this link: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2011/12/operations-car-flow-and-car-storage.html ). I have a fair number of freight cars beyond what is needed to operate the layout, partly to create variety in operations, but certainly not least because I am a freight car enthusiast. I have always enjoyed researching and building new freight cars, and the result is a car fleet rather distinctly too large for the layout, even with extensive staging capacity. -One change I have made is to add some of the A-Line storage boxes. (These products are shown on their website, at: http://www.ppw-aline.com/hobbytote.htm ), though I have never bought the sleeve which makes them into a “tote;” I just buy the boxes.) These do a good job of holding about 16 cars each (for 40-foot cars), and they are well protected. Here is one such box, with the lid set aside. -I continue to use my paper-carton boxes with trays (as described in the post linked at the top of this post), though because these are less quickly accessible than the A-Line boxes, they have become a kind of “deep storage” option. Gradually the cars which are less frequently used are migrating into the paper-carton trays. Those cartons and trays were shown in the previous post, a link to which is at the top of this post. -The most active “pool” of cars is on the staging table, either made up into mainline trains, or simply in place on the storage tracks. This pool varies over time, with cars migrating off and onto the staging tracks as layout operations continue. Here is a shot of the table as it is at the moment. -The table is not quite fully extended, as the furthest track visible is the 11th (there are 12 in all). -The other part of the active “pool” storage is the shelving in my adjoining room (the kitchen, when this space was a sub-size apartment). These cars supplement the cars on the staging table. The top and bottom shelves are not really curved, the lens focal length just makes them look that way. -How is this managed? I have a chart laying out the sequence(s) of car movements at each industry or other car spot (this procedure, a version of what can be called “demand-based car flow,” was described previously: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2011/11/operations-demand-based-car-flow-2.html ). From that chart, I make up a list of the movements which are the next sequence of operation, and go to my “pairs list,” described in an earlier post ( at: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2012/02/waybills-17-pairs-list.html ), and thereby find the cars with waybills for each of those car spots, along with the overlay bills for each spot. The waybills are filed by industry, so are readily retrieved. Then the car itself is located in storage by a (searchable) roster of all cars in active service. One of the entries for each car is its location, in a paper carton, in an A-Line box, or in the pool. I summarized an earlier version of this process in a blog post a few months ago (see it at: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2015/07/waybills-part-42-flexibility.html ). -Obviously the car roster is a critical part of this process, and I have learned that the roster has to be kept up to date as cars move around between various storage locations. I usually indicate such movements with pencil corrections on the most recent print-out. When a page gets too heavily marked up, I just update the electronic file and reprint the page. -All in all, the process described above does work, and seems to provide good operational movement of cars, while permitting some selection of cars for each movement (because there are multiple waybills for every industry and car spot). I am always experimenting with ways to make the process more efficient, but for now, what I’m describing works well. -Orthodontic package includes consultation, x-rays, 3D scan, exam with Dr. Nelson. $1500 credit valid only toward Full Invisalign treatment. -Promotional value expires 90 days after purchase.

Aside from the stuff we packed for our first trip, we actually kept very little. -Send me your question, and I’ll respond as quickly as our traveling lifestyle and Internet access allows! -Festival of lights, Diwali is very big in India. It signifies victory of good over evil and light over darkness. Markets are bustling with mouth-watering sweets during this festival. I remember my mother working in the kitchen all day and preparing a feast for us which also involved making different sweets. Nariyal ki barfi, kheer-anand (thick rice pudding) and daal ki chaki was always on the menu. Sweets are also offered to friends and relatives who come to visit the following days. -It is always so hectic during Diwali. There is just so much to do - decorating the house, distributing sweets, making a lavish meal, sorting out clothes to wear, socializing. I wasn't sure if I would be able to share this recipe but I am happy I managed. -Today I am sharing a recipe which is a fusion between western and Indian dessert- "Pistachio-yoghurt cupcakes with cardamom frosting"! You know how elders just taste baked goodies because they don't quite enjoy flavor of vanilla and chocolate. This dessert is going to cater to elders as well as kids. My father-in-law flipped over these cupcakes.You can make them in advance, they won't get spoilt for 2-3 days. Drizzle frosting right before serving. -Indian sweets hardly bear any resemblance to Western desserts. Unlike Western desserts, most of the Indian desserts are either deep fried or cooked on an open flame. Mithai is usually made by combining milk and ingredients like semolina, chickpea flour, desiccated coconut and dried-fruit together. Flavored with saffron, cardamom and rose water, mithiais are very aromatic. I have always had a weakness for crisp jalebis and daal ka halwa! -This is actually a mithai( Indian sweet) disguised as a cupcake. Pistachio and aromatic cardamom pods create a beautiful flavour which reminds you of Indian sweets as soon as you taste it! Use of yoghurt does wonders with baking powder and makes cupcakes very moist. Cupcakes just melt in your mouth! -Preheat oven for 10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius - Golden rule! -Strain flour, baking powder and baking soda together and keep aside. -Now fold dry ingredients, ground pistachio and yoghurt lightly in the creamed butter-sugar mixture. Make sure to not over-beat. You just have to incorporate all the ingredients together. -Pour batter in the cupcake tray and bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes till skewer or knife comes out clean. -Mix icing sugar and a pinch of cardamom powder with few drops of water. If sugar doesn't come together, add more. -Drizzle over cupcakes and garnish with chopped pistachios. -Don't forget to try other desserts and snacks from the blog. Wishing everyone a very happy and safe Diwali!! -Looking for more recipes to satisfy your sweet tooth?? -This paper is an experimental study on plunging cylinders. Four nosecone shapes, cylindrical, conical, parabolic and power series 0.5 with a variation of material type, aluminium and steel were studied. There are two parts to this experiment, high-speed imaging and particle image velocimetry. High-speed camera captured the projectiles traversing from air to water. The images were calibrated, tracked, and the extracted data were filtered and analysed. Particle image velocimetry were utilized for flow visualization. Comparisons between nosecone shape and the projectile mass will be discussed the output data of velocity, impact acceleration, coefficient of drag, cavitation growth and flow visualization. It was found that cylindrical projectile has the biggest change in acceleration when traversing between air and water, resulting in the biggest drag coefficient. From PIV data, conical projectile displaces water at the smallest magnitude. The parabolic and power series projectiles have the smallest impact forces when the projectile mass is increased. Increase in projectile mass resulted in a decrease of coefficient of drag. Cavitation growth influences the performance of the projectile, projectile with surface seal decelerates rapidly, whereas a projectile with deep seal tends to accelerate continuously. Finally, increase in flow activity around a projectile reduces the acceleration performance i.e. causes energy loss resulting in deceleration. Suggestions for improvement and future research were also provided. -I've noticed that post quantity(number of posts) have not hanging for at least a week may be longer. -posts in the Loung and certain Regional Forums do not contribute to total post count. -I know the Lounge don't count just post twice in Tech no change, since when regional post don't always did before. -zoom: didn't go up for me on that last post.

Now I choose to focus on early childhood education (0-6 years) because I feel that if we get it right at this age when the learning can be so profound for so many reasons, then we will not have as much of the self-esteem, social or learning difficulties in the primary or secondary levels and as children get older. Through my own learning and experience I’ve discovered how incredibly effective movement and music can be for this. -Because of my passion for learning through movement and music I have written all the stories with a movement focus so the children can actively get involved in the story telling or reading or that the story can initiate learning through movement as a follow up. I feel that if children can move with confidence and sing with joy and inhibition, that it will enhance their self-esteem and self-love, which will hopefully help them in the years to come. -All my stories have been written for a specific purpose and have a reason for the message in the story. As well as having a movement or music focus the stories also have a moral e.g. kindness to others, how to overcome exclusion, sharing, the environment, resilience, independence, choice making and so on. -There is also rhythm and rhyme in the choice of words and sentence structure of the stories. This enhances the concept of rhythm that is vital not only for singing and music appreciation but for reading. -Repetition of words or movements, paragraphs or sentences throughout the stories all enhance language development and the myelination of the brain for learning, retention of information, memory and awareness of sequence and order of words and movement. -The stories may be in the form of story-telling, story reading, play acting, the use of imagination and creating part of the story, the use of props, original story books, craft activities, songs, chants, pictures, visual cue cards, music activities or musical instruments. This in turn enhances variety, imagination, creativity and visualization. -Each story has accompanying teaching points, Early Years Learning Framework reference, lists the props and musical instruments required and any extension activities. -If all this learning is approached through fun and enjoyment the learning is easy! -This story is about the animals being individual and appreciating what qualities they each have.

The celebration of their power and beauty is reflected in what they buy, watch and listen to, and people outside their communities find it inspiring,” said Cheryl Grace, the senior vice president of U.S. Community Strategic Alliances and Consumer Engagement for Nielsen. -The African-American woman’s independent mindset is present in her growing confidence, self-awareness and rising income, according to the report. -The report noted that 64 percent of Black women agree their goal is to make it to the top of their profession; 58 percent agree that they don’t mind giving up their personal time for work — 20 percent higher than non-Hispanic White women. -“The trend of Black women becoming increasingly educated and driving the buying power of Black households, means that they are making purchase decisions that historically they didn’t make,” said Bianca Blake, a marketing specialist. -This article originally published in the October 2, 2017 print edition of The Louisiana Weekly newspaper. -Teens are in need of homes and individuals who will mentor them!

As a result, in 1901 Congress authorized 5 additional Regular Army Infantry regiments; the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th Infantry. All 5 regiments subsequently served the Army well. The 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry traces its lineage back to when it was first organized on 25 December 1900 in the Regular Army at the Presidio of San Francisco, California, as Company A, 1st Provisional Battalion of Infantry. It was consolidated on 7 February 1901 with Company A, 26th Infantry (which was first constituted on 2 February 1901 in the Regular Army), and consolidated unit designated as Company A, 26th Infantry. -The 26th Infantry began its life overseas in the Philippines and spent its first 20 years of service on deployments to the Southwest Pacific, the Mexican and Indian frontier and in Europe. It earned its first battle streamer during the Philippine Insurrection within 2 years of its forming as a unit. -After returning to the same location for another tour of duty (a habit the 26th Infantry Regiment would keep for the entire century), the 26th Infantry Regiment fought off Mexican bandits and settled disputes in the Indian Territory until it was selected as one of only 4 Regular Army Infantry Regiments deemed fit for immediate combat to form the 1st American Expeditionary Division in June of 1917. This expeditionary division would later be redesignated the 1st Division (and subsequently the 1st Infantry Division) and thus began ths 26th Infantry Regiment's long association with the Big Red One. -As part of the first American soldiers to arrive in France, the 26th Infantry Regiment immediately left for the front. Along with its sister regiments of the 1st Division, it earned more campaign streamers than any other regiments during the First World War, but at a terrible cost. Over 900 members of the Regiment their lives in a 6-month period. At Soisson alone, the regimental commander, executive officer, 2 of 3 battalion commanders and regimental sergeant major were killed in action. Sixty-two officers were killed or wounded and out of 3100 men that started the attack, over 1500 had been killed or wounded. The battle was won and this turned the tide for the Allies at a crucial period during the summer of 1918. By war's end, the soldiers earned 7 battle streamers and 2 foreign awards. It was also during this conflict that the Regiment's name, the "Blue Spaders" came into usage. The name referred to the Regimental shield, which consisted of the Mohawk arrowhead. Colonel Hamilton A. Smith selected this to represent the regimental spirit of courage, resourceful daring and relentless pursuit of an enemy. -Following a brief occupation duty in Germany, the regiment returned to the United States and served as a part of a smaller peacetime Army until 1941. In the 1920s and 30s, the unit's permanent home station became Plattsburg Barracks, New York. These years would involve training exercises and maneuvers along with the normal routines of garrison duty. -In 1941, the regiment once again stood with its sister regiments and prepared for war in Europe. In World War II, the 26th Infantry led America's first-ever amphibious assault in North Africa, fought at the Kasserine Pass, assaulted Sicily, invaded Normandy, conquered the first German city of the war at Aachen, vaulted the Rhine and attacked all the way to Czechoslovakia by war's end. The 26th Infantry Regiment conducted 3 amphibious assaults, and earned 7 battle streamers, a Presidential Unit Citation, and 5 foreign awards. -Beginning another occupation of Germany, the "Blue Spaders" were given the honor of bearing the United States National Colors at the Allied Victory in Europe parade, and were selected to serve as America's guard of honor at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. Thus began a lengthy stay in Germany, first as conquerors and later as friends and Allies. -The unit was reorganized and redesignated on 15 February 1957 as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battle Group, 26th Infantry, and remained assigned to the 1st Infantry Division with its organic elements concurrently constituted and activated. It was relieved on 14 April 1959 from assignment to the 1st Infantry Division and assigned to the 8th Infantry Division. -Serving as a battle group in Europe in the early 1960s, the unit was attached to various Divisions. It was relieved on 24 October 1962 from assignment to the 8th Infantry Division and assigned to the 2nd Infantry Division. It was relieved on 15 February 1963 from assignment to the 2nd Infantry Division and assigned to the 1st Infantry Division. It was then reorganized and redesignated on 13 January 1964 as the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry. -The Battalion rejoined the 1st Infantry Division shortly before receiving orders to deploy as a part of the Army's first divisional-sized unit in Vietnam in 1965. The "Blue Spaders" served longer in Vietnam with their "Big Red One" units than any other division. After 5 continuous years of combat the "Blue Spaders" received orders to return home in 1970 with 11 battle streamers, a Valorous Unit Award and 2 foreign awards for its colors. -At the conclusion of Vietnam, the Battalion returned to Germany as part of a forward-deployed brigade of the 1st Infantry Division. The unit was inactivated on 24 February 1983 in Germany and relieved from assignment to the 1st Infantry Division, when that Brigade returned to the United States. -The 26th Infantry was transfered to TRADOC on 3 April 1987, where the 26th Infantry's Regiments spent several years training recruits. The 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry was inactivated on 15 January 1996 at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and withdrawn from the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command. -On 16 February 1996, the Battalion rejoined the "Big Red One" in Germany only to send its soldiers to Bosnia as part of the first American forces to enter the Balkans from February to September 1996. The entire Battalion followed its initial deployment from October 1996 to April 1997. In March 1998, the "Blue Spaders" deployed again to the Balkans, this time to the Republic of Macedonia. Returning briefly in September 1998, the Battalion was the first unit alerted for deployment to Kosovo in June 1999. It returned in December 1999. During this period, the unit earned the Superior Unit Award streamer and the Defense of Kosovo streamer for the colors. Three of Task Force 1-26 Infantry's soldiers lost their lives in Kosovo. -In 2004 the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry deployed with other elements of the 1st Infantry Division's 2nd Brigade to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Following that deployment the unit was redesignated on 1 October 2005 as the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment. -After serving another tour of duty in Iraq in 2007, the unit was relieved on 16 March 2008 from assignment to the 1st Infantry Division and assigned to the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division. This was part of the transformation of the 2nd Brigade to the US Army's modular force structure. 3rd Brigade Combat Team had perviously converted in 2006 and the 2nd Battalion, 26th Infantry was concurrently inactivated and reflagged as the 1st battalion, 26th Infantry. -In June 2008 the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, including the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry, deployed to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The unit remained deployed in that country into 2009. -Come pick your glass pumpkins! They are hot all month with hundreds of blown glass pumpkins, gourds, fruits and vegetables for you to pick.

There are wins for both parties from better data quality," said Stephen Banyard, HMRC Acting Director General for Personal Tax. -Banyard said HMRC was making a determined effort to improve data quality ahead of the move to Real Time Information (RTI) systems and it has conducted 12 employer schemes pilot projects between July and October 2011 on how this can be achieved. -"Pilot visits have shown that ... face to face support can make a real difference to the quality of data we receive from employers and consequently will greatly assist the coming move to Real Time Information (RTI). -In addition to TES visits, HMRC "will improve the communications and guidance we provide on this subject," he said. -"The pilots have gone really well and helped HMRC shape the materials used in interaction with employers." -The move to improve data quality comes as HMRC is consolidating its back end systems. Last month the tax department revealed it had HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has announced it had reduced the number of its SAP systems from seven to one with an 81% cost saving. -Having in mind the specific needs of business and transit travellers who wish to stay in touch with the rest of the world, Hulhule Island Hotel offers complimentary Wi-fi facility for all the hotel residents at the Lobby of the hotel.

It was renowned in the 16th and 17th centuries for its commercial fair, one of the most important in the Papal States, and its wide streets and comfortable buildings still bear a mercantile character. -Nowadays, however, it is remembered for its famous son, Leopardi. He passed a hothouse childhood, self-imprisoned in his father's classics-filled library and spent the rest of his life trying to recapture in his pessimistic verse the illusion of happiness, glimpsed fleetingly as a youth in Recanati. Palazzo Leopardi at the southern edge of town, where he was born and brought up, holds memorabilia, manuscripts and his fascinating library. Around every corner, plaques mark spots referred to in his poems. -The museum in Villa Colloredo-Mels, a splendid 18th century villa on the edge of the town centre, holds Recanati's greatest art treasure, a room with four of Lorenzo Lotto's finest pictures, including a most haunting Annunciation packed with almost breathless narrative detail - a high spot in any art-lover's tour of the central Marche. -Recanati was also the home town of the great tenor, Beniamino Gigli and the Museo Gigli in the Palazzo Comunale, or town hall, on central Piazza Leopardi holds a collection of his costumes from some 30 operas, a mock-up of his dressing-room and some of the many presents he received, including a walking stick from Verdi. -Other delights in Recanati include the Cathedral of San Flaviano with its magnificent 17th century wood ceiling and the Teatro Persiani, another of the Marche's unexpectedly grand 19th century theatres. -Meals and Lodging are included in the price of all Trophy Whitetail Hunts and Spring Turkey Hunts.

There are two or three average lots, but the remainder have the potential to constitute one of the best four or five vintages I’ve seen. All wines have exceptional acids and pHs, good for ageability and presaging a longer than normal immaturity in bottle before showing their stuff. This could be minimized by intense, overt fruit. All of this smacks of 1999 and 2008 vintages, especially in Pinot noirs. The Pinot noirs have enjoyed very long cold soaks, with up to 12-13 days and colors pulled that are reminiscent of finished wine in a very good vintage, even before fermentation heat! -In discussions with other wineries, if botrytis is excluded from the equation for others, they see the same thing. Botrytis in the valley differed somewhat based on location and viticultural practices. This difference should be the only factor for vintage variability. Thank you, Chad, for pristine vineyards in 2011. -This has been a condensed, late, hard-worked vintage. Harvest crews in vineyard can breathe a sigh of relief. In the winery it is another 10 days or more before it’s a wrap. -It will all be worth it. -A mixture of sun, fog, a little light rain, sun, and fog over the last week has accented the Riesling end of harvest in a beautiful and appropriate way. Hardy and with us encouraging a little botrytis in Riesling, we enjoy the final flourish at our four sites. Riesling fruit coming in is bright with high acids, lower sugars in the 18-20+ brix range, and with good flavors — Riesling has two aromatic/flavor peaks, one at 18-18.5 brix and another at 21+ brix. -Except for outside red pressings and barreling down, we now can disregard the four or five weather forecasts we all have bookmarked and watch winter fronts come in with a cup of coffee and a smile. -2019 | Happy B Corp Month! -96:3-4 Read!

Decals that include White in the design no longer have to resort to die-cutting Opaque White vinyl in order to eliminate White space that should not exist within the decal's graphic. Instead, the designer can now select our clear vinyl for printing decals that include the color White, and our printing process will print White on the clear vinyl adhesive surface where intended. This process will ensure that the most detailed graphical designs that contain some or all White will stand out with the highest of definition even on full color decals that do not need to contain excessive contours. -Custom and Standard Sizes Available for Making Decals! -Although we can print any custom sized decal you need simply by contacting our sales department at Sales@eSigns.com or calling us toll free at 800-494-5850 for custom pricing and ordering, we have created an assortment of affordably priced sizes that can be selected when ordering decals online. Our range of sizes vary slightly depending on the adhesive producte chosen but provide the majority of sizes needed for most adhesive displays. Sizes range from our smaller 6" (six inch) size selections to our 8' (eight foot) large format outdoor decal displays. -Use Decals for The Office, Home, Store or Business! -Our variety of custom adhesive products come in any size or dimensional contour shape needed and can be applied to windows, walls, floors and even the outdoors! Custom Wall decal designs can be creatively used to decorate any office space while conveying a specific mission statement or brand message. Used as custom printed wall-paper, adhesive wall vinyl is the perfect solution for adding home decor ideas. Permanent adhesive window signage can be used to optimize a store's window ad space with brand messaging, while re-usable window clings are the perfect print medium for daily restaurant specials or recurring convenient store discount offers. Perforated window signs are also an effective window sign solution for advertising to patrons on the outside of a store or business while maintaining an unobstructed outside view for patrons and employees that are inside. Durable trample-proof floor decal graphics are an excellent way to communicate safety warnings, store promotional announcements or provide directional signage along store or warehouse aisle-ways. -All Our Adhesives are Cut Contour Capable! -All adhesive signage we carry can be custom contour shaped simply by letting us know at the time of an order where the cutting outline should be. In the printing industry, we call this the cut-line and is simply a printed outline around the graphic where the cutting should happen. For example; if an intended graphic design needs to be contour cut around the artwork, please let us know in your ordering notes where we should cut out the graphic being printed. -We only make one shaped cut around any of the adhesives we offer. We cannot cut inside spaces, individual lettering, or cut multiple sections from a single order. This contour cut method allows for one cutting around any artwork maintaining a border of at least 0.125" around the graphic as shown on the cut text example below. -From custom contoured adhesive decals for the floor, walls, windows and more, eSigns adhesive graphic printing division is ready to assist for both indoor or outdoor adhesive sign applications! -Sell my PlayBook 4G LTE 32GB tablet.

Nevertheless, their professional career made and unexpected turn: a 5,588km one to be precise, and now they are leading Mille Collines fashion brand from Kigali, Rwanda capital city. Thanks to it, they hope to contribute to the development of the country and to how African products are perceived in other countries. -Their way of looking at things is local and global at the same time, artisan and avant-garde, a spirit rooted in capturing the best of different worlds, just the kind of vision that we admire in Dragonfruit. -African fashion is greatly unkown in Europe. How come a catalan girl gets interested in it? -Because of personal reasons I have had a strong bond with African continent since my childhood and I have been able to travel there may times. In my career as a designer, Africa has always been my muse. Fashion appeals me because of it’s sociologic side, as a tool to change the consumer’s mind and to fill in an unkown necessity. -I arrived to Rwanda for the first time in Summer of 2005, in coop with a Fundation. While I was there I met a rwandese woman, -Antoinette- strong, passionate and a fighter. We connected very quickly. She had worked her whole life in couture, and now she teaches sewing, as well as many other things. Inspired by Antoinette I came back a year later with Marc, my business partner, and we piloted our first collection. The result was much more positive than we had expeted. After successfully testing the outcome of the colledtion, a year later we founded the brand. -What new things has African fashion taught you? Why does it inspire you? -Because of the access it grants us to artisans and artisan techniques, very hard to find in Europe nowadays. Rwanda has allowed us to create a structure where we participate in the whole process. Africa is inspiration. Besides the less tangible feelings that made us fall in love with this continent, this place drags you to the essence of creation. As it used to be in Europe during the ’50s, were you were part and witness in every step of the process of developing a product. As designers, it is a privilege. -What defines Mille Collines’ style? What does it borrow from each place? -Mille Collines speaks of contrast. It feeds from two very different and strong influences. It dresses a woman who isn’t afraid of a changing world, who believes that through diversity we get closer to a more sophisticated kind of richness. A woman who values a high quality and unique product: every piece is handmade. Mille Collines woman feels connection with Africa. Be it because she is African and this brand speaks to her about her land, where she lives and her home is, or be it because she is far away and she feels a poignant longing. In an ever more global world there is room for a product that fusions and makes those influences get closer, that is, the mirror of the historical moment we are currently living in. -Why Rwanda? How did you get to live and work in there? -We get asked this question often. Africa and fashion are almost antagonic concepts currently. In this country we have set up an able team, there is a very high number of qualified professionals that don’t have many opportunities. We have discovered an unexplored territory to create items that, to many people’s surprise, are made in Africa and are sophisticated. Besides, Rwanda is a “kind” african country, that turns the day to day into a pleasent routine devoid of unpleasent surprises. It’s small size allow as to work with people located in very different parts of the country and not losing control of the productions. -We arrived to Rwanda with more information than that appearing in the press or TV. We had travelled the country before to visit the projects of an NGO founded by my mother, África Digna (Dignified/Worthy Africa). Rwanda is much better than imagined, there have been many changes in the last years. In fact, the country is known as “the African Switzerland” because of the degree of security and stability it offers to foreing investors. -The media stresses out so much the negative side, that when you land here you become very surprised at all the good things they never tell you. This helps adapting faster. Today, in our experience, we can say that these many preconceived ideas about African reality are unfairly exaggerated. -Do you collaborate with local artisans? -Yes, there are 270 local artisans collaborating with our brand today. In the raffia, tin, horn, embroidery, cristal and aluminium cooperatives. -We use them a lot. We work a lot with social networks, we connect every shop and every team through Facebook. It’s important that all of them are exposed to what is happening at the other end of the chain, that there is a space where they can generate projects with each other, were they can chat and contact, social networks have helped greatly altough there is still a barrier to be overcomed face to face, we solve this issue with regular meetings. -How do you see Burberry and other prestige brands’ appropiation of African fashion elements? -Communicating Africa is always interesting, but in many cases it’s just a trend, and that has an expiration date on it. -Is there an “African fashion”or are there too many differences among the different countries? -Undoubtely, there are common patterns. More than the traditional fashion, currently we can talk about a professional and exportable fashion: Globalization has provided the African people with tools for creating a product that can compete with the rest of the world. I’d want that it would be known what is Rwanda and Africa today, the many opportunities that are unfolding. Many people would get surprised. -We’ll keep an eye in Mille Collines’ challenges for this year. Whoever who wants to join, can follow their blog. Shortly, clothing items will be available as well in the online shop. -Flavor Your Life - Who Gave The Baby Coffee? -Who Gave The Baby Coffee? -I use olive oil ALL the time when I cook. Sometimes I use it in recipes, to sauté veggies, and even as dressing for salad. My favorite way has to be when I’m cooking vegetables but you can really taste the difference in the salad dressing between brand that you use. -I was lucky enough to try Zucchi 1810 100% Italiano Extra Virgin Olive Oil recently and it was amazing. -The maker Oleificio Zucchi started in 1810 in the area near Lodi in northern Italy as a small family business. Since then it has grown significantly but still takes the time to find and create the best blends of Oil. -Right now my youngest child loves broccoli. And the simplest way to cook it is with a little Olive Oil. I love knowing that she is getting the best ingredients in the food that she eats. -Welcome! My name is Sarah and I'm a stay at home mommy of a silly little boy named Jace and wife to my amazing hubby Patrick. -As water levels near camp sites at Cedar Bluff State Park continue to fall, park manager Chris Smith keeps a close eye on conditions in Russell. -The city has moved into a strict water conservation phase and has suggested the possibility of tapping into Cedar Bluff to augment its water supply. -That's what happened in 2006, when Russell last faced sharply depleted water supplies. -In 2006, slightly more than 3,000 acre-feet of water -- nearly a billion gallons -- were released from Cedar Bluff, slowly creeping downstream along the Smoky Hill River to Pfeifer, where the city of Russell has its main wells. -That release dropped the level of the lake 1.12 feet. -Currently, Russell has nearly 2,000 acre-feet of water available for release while the Kansas Water Office only has about 1,400 acre-feet. -There's a concern there on the part of both the city of Russell and the KWO that there might not be enough water available to push all the way down to the Russell wellfield. -KWO director Tracy Streeter said his office met with Hays and Russell officials via conference call Monday to talk about conditions. -"They're not going to do anything here in the short run," Streeter said of making a decision on releasing water. -He recognizes the shortage of water available. -"We don't have the water like last time we made the release," he said. -Yet he's not ready to discount the possibility of a release. -"If we can't be successful in getting water to Russell, it seems like an iffy situation," he said. -A Chicago judge on Thursday dismissed a patent case between Apple and Motorola because, he said, neither side could adequately "establish a right to relief." -As a result, a trial that was set to begin on Monday has been canceled. However, U.S. District Judge Richard Posner said he would "delay entry of judgment until I have prepared a full opinion, because in the course of that preparation, I may change my mind." -In his brief filing yesterday, however, Posner said Apple has already admitted that it cannot prove damages on two of the four patents it is using against Motorola. On the two remaining patents, Posner said yesterday that he does not think Apple will prevail. -Both companies think damages are an adequate remedy for the alleged infringements, "though they failed to present evidence on damages strong enough to withstand summary judgment," Posner wrote. Since "injunctive relief would impose costs disproportionate to the harm to the patentee and the benefit of the alleged infringement to the allowed infringer and would be contrary to the public interest, I cannot find a basis for an aware of injunctive relief," he said. -Apple requested a full evidentiary hearing on the matter, but Posner said the "existing evidentiary record is adequate." -Motorola did not immediately respond to a request for comment. -As patent blogger Florian Mueller noted, the case will likely now head to the Federal Circuit. -The decision comes several days after Posner dismissed one of two patents Motorola was trying to assert against Cupertino in the same case. -Note: Little Monsters is now closed. -Located in Lake Orion, this independent shop prides itself on being a specialty destination. It stocks oodles of unique treats to delight any kid, tyke to teen – from books to instruments to forts, plus plenty of retro toys, science and nature finds, wooden playthings, collectors’ stuff with incredible design and even U.S.-made gear. Prices range from 25 cents to $100. -Opened by Leila Freijy and Chris McKenna back in 2006, Little Monsters has a quirky creativity you can sense even in its store logo (which Cyrus, Freijy’s son, hand-created when he was 8 years old). -Its eclectic mix of toys – which spans Ugly Dolls and Playmobil to interesting imports from around the world – are all set in a welcoming, cozy brick store on Flint Street. It’s definitely caught local parents’ attention (they named Little Monsters the best toy store in southeast Michigan in Metro Parent’s 2012 Parent Picks). -Employee and friend Jean Keitz says the founders share a passion for finding specialized educational and artistic toys for children. -“They’re real careful about what they purchase,” Keitz says of the owners, who strive to stock items that can’t be found in the average toy store. -In addition to toys – and there are, literally, thousands – Freijy and McKenna carefully choose the books that line the shelves in a quaint room at the back of the store, inspecting illustrations as well as messages. -Little Monsters takes its appeal to all ages seriously, catering to everyone from newborns to parents. Adults are often browsing board games and jewelry while their children play with any item that catches their eye. -Art also comes to life in monthly shows that spotlight the work of Michigan artists. Look on the walls to spy creations like oil paintings, mixed media works, photography and more. -The shop also offers story times and classes for kids, like journaling and drawing, and participates in the annual Neighborhood Toy Store Day in November. -With its combination of art, education and fun, Little Monsters is sure to deliver smiles – and goodies that’ll make the whole family happy. -Red Hood and the Outlaws is an underdog book about a group of underdogs, and I'm not really surprised DC Comics keeps giving it second changes, through "DC You" and into "Rebirth." The concept is sound (filling a space in the DC Universe previously held by books like Outsiders and Secret Six), and Scott Lobdell, I thought, wrote Red Hood, Arsenal, and Starfire well in this book's beginnings. Though indeed there were questionable choices in how the book handled Starfire especially, I think some of this book's worse reputation came from confusing the unseriousness of the characters (especially Arsenal, which was largely an act) with the book itself. In depicting a group of troubled superheroes with no one but one another, Lobdell succeeded. -Red Hood and the Outlaws Vol. 4: League of Assassins is the first volume absent both Lobdell and original artist Kenneth Rocafort, now with James Tynion and Julius Gopez. Tynion has going for the book a strong understanding of the relationship between the Outlaws, and a storyline that authentically puts that to the test. At the same time, this long storyline gets overcomplicated, with lots of mystic gobbledegook, and Tynion gets wrong some of what Lobdell established earlier. -But also tellingly, Tynion's best issue here is the one not drawn by Gopez. Though there's nothing egregiously wrong, the book's art is routinely inked too darkly and the characters' appearances are inconsistent from one issue to the next. This looks like a generic superhero book, far especially from Rocafort, and it might be another reason Red Hood and the Outlaws doesn't get its respect. -From the outset, Tynion's League of Assassins is a story about Arsenal Roy Harper trying to keep the Outlaws together after a traumatized, amnesic Red Hood Jason Todd departs, and Tynion's got that heart of the story right. Roy acts desperately, almost pathetically, but he's meant to be a pathetic figure, recognizing rightly that Jason and Starfire Koriand'r's friendship is the best thing in his life. Outlaws is a story of co-dependence; the characters are great for one another because they're so bad for one another. Tynion smartly develops a plot that puts Jason, Roy, and Kori on three different sides of a war, momentarily pitted against one another, and that's an excellent dynamic four volumes into their time together. -Tynion also does well in establishing two other important relationships for Roy Harper. In the uncertain rollout of the New 52, what time Roy spent with Green Arrow wasn't quite clear. It's been expanded on a bit in flashback late in the Green Arrow series, but here Tynion has them on the page together perhaps for the first time and writes their dysfunctional dynamic well (I also like Tynion's invention of the "Roybots" security). Second, Tynion pits Roy against Cheshire, the mother of his child in other continuities; I thought Tynion portrayed Cheshire as too flip in the beginning, but she evens out and we see hints of what she and Roy might actually see in one another before the book is through. -I give Tynion credit for a long story (eight issues and an annual) and indeed it actually continues on into the next book. The book doesn't even feel decompressed -- I don't mind a long story one can sink their teeth into -- as that Tynion's motivations for the characters comes off strained. There's a bounty out to kill the Outlaws, which we learn was set by the mystic group the Untitled, ultimately for no good reason than to "keep [the characters] on [their] feet," which is nonsense if the Untitled needed the Outlaws alive. Meanwhile the League of Assassins mean to recruit Jason to lead them even despite his amnesia and for reasons never wholly clear. And various characters -- the rival organization All-Caste's Ducra and Essence, and Ra's al Ghul -- have different plans, revealed and not, that contribute to the book's central jumble. -Further, Lobdell had established that a seeming war between the Untitled and the All-Caste had actually been started by the character Essence within the All-Caste; Tynion reverses this and makes the war really the Untitled's fault. Again, it's a lot of mystic back-and-forth, but the result is that Tynion takes something that had nuance and wasn't what it seemed, and instead makes it very plain without shades of gray. To be sure, this was one mystic group too many even under Lobdell, unlikely to be seen or heard from again in the DC Universe, but I'd have preferred that Tynion built on what Lobdell established (which admittedly he does to a great extent) than to change it. -Tynion cleverly accommodates the book's tie-in with the Batman: Zero Year storyline, leading into a flashback just before that issue. The tie-in issue, with art by Constantine's Jeremy Haun, is among the strongest in the book and also better than most Zero Year tie-ins in that Tynion actually delves into Zero Year's Red Hood mystery, maybe suggesting a thing or two. Notably, we can now say that Jason Todd was a "Red Hood" before he ever encountered the Joker; though not explicit, we kind of understand why Jason chose that moniker now. We also see some of Jason and Talia al Ghul's relationship and why Talia might have brought Jason back from the dead. This whole book needs more Talia, frankly; I guess Talia is dead when this book is set, but her death isn't remarked on clearly enough for the audience to understand what's at stake for the League of Assassins and Ra's al Ghul as regards what plans Talia has in motion. -Red Hood and the Outlaws Vol. 4: League of Assassins offers a glimpse of this title not written by Scott Lobdell, and the fact that it's more or less viable suggests good things for the characters going forward. The fact that Lobdell gets the title back in a few volumes, and keeps it through "DC You" and into the new "Rebirth" iteration, is just icing on the cake. This is not Red Hood and the Outlaws at its best, but even so it demonstrates the complex characters that have kept the title going as long as it has. -I always found this series to be incredibly overrated. It never felt like the writer ever had any sort of direction for these characters, he just threw stuff at the wall, and then pivoted depending on audience reaction. And the constant exposition gets really grating. Yes, we can see that Red Hood's pointing a gun at Superman. We don't need every character to say that Red Hood's pointing a gun at Superman. -I thought of Red Hood and the Outlaws as something of a pallet cleanser after reading a few heavier dramatic titles. It always had at least semi decent story lines and it had flawed characters that helped each other grow because they needed someone else to lean on. -While not being top level writing, all writers of the series (there are 3, I almost forgot Will Pfeifer who wrote a few issues that are printed in volume 5) make sure that it's the characters you care about even if the story gets a small dip in quality. -And while I'm not going to spoil anything of future volumes, I want to address your comment about it looking good for DC You. They completely changed the tone in the Red Hood/Arsenal title, more in the art than in the writing, it really feels like some bad editorial decisions being forced on it. It does get better and when the story reaches Robin War this seems to be completely gone. The Starfire title was something I couldn't read, the first issue was something my girlfriend enjoys (who is in her early 20s) and seems to have the humor of some of the "high school" shows she watches on youth channels. -Melbourne AFLW captain Daisy Pearce has commented on the conference system set to be introduced for the 2019 season. -Two conferences of five teams will be brought in for the AFL Women’s competition next year with each side to play seven games – despite there being 10 teams. -Pearce said she can see how the conferences could make the season more interesting, but also feels it compromises the competition further. -“I think we should get the opportunity to play every team once as a minimum and then a finals series – that’s how football fixtures work, generally speaking,” Pearce told SEN’s Whateley. -“The fixture is already compromised so to do this doesn’t compromise it much further, but I’m open to that innovation. -“It compromises it slightly more because how do you come up with those conferences and how are they evenly distributed, when you look at it being a competition that’s in its infancy and it’s hard to get a line of form on a team? -The two-time club Best and Fairest pointed out a few of the positives a conference system could bring as well. -“It will keep more teams alive in the competition for longer,” Pearce said. -“Rather than there potentially being a distribution of the teams where you get a couple of strong teams finishing in the top four from Round 4 onwards and then it being hard for the teams below to push in, with the conference system it means you just have to finish in the top two of your five team conference. -“As you’re playing your games, one week you might play one from your conference, the next week you might play someone from the other conference so if you’ve got a couple of conference games in the back end of the fixture, you’ve got a big opportunity to move up rapidly. -Pearce herself will not play in the upcoming season as she is pregnant with twins. -This shower curtain is perfect for the Mercedes Sprinter rear doors.

Our observation was that in some of these states at least for which we have the data, cronyism predominates in the sector. Politicians and business men have found undue presence in promoting and leading the private universities in these states. -The case of private universities in Chhattisgarh opened up a gamut of issues on the operation of these universities. As a follow-up to regulating and monitoring the standards of these institutions, a series of steps were adopted by the UGC (under the UGC Act 1956). The guidelines were set primarily under the UGC (Establishment of and Maintenance of Standards in Private Universities) Regulation, 2003. Between the period 2003 and 2014, we see that the number of private universities in the country has risen to 184. As pointed out, these universities enjoyed legislative sanctions within their respective states. -Certain observations in the UGC legislation are important and worth analysis. -And the most debated issue on opening offshore campuses or campuses outside the state limits where the university has been established. -The third has been the most flouted clause which has time and again led to legal sanctions against several universities. However, the first is the most serious clause that could lead to corruption and cronyism. The second one noted above is to show that the sector is not want of regulations that one should be concerned with private universities. In fact, it is a clear case for over regulation and inconsistent with the state laws established as envisaged in the SC judgement. At the outset one could observe that the regulatory mechanisms are not different for the Government and private institutions. However, we highlight that the first and the third clause will find it hard to go together. -Why do we need a separate Act for each university? -We see that across states in India, save a few, where private universities exist, there is no transparent and comprehensive legislation that exist. Instead each of these universities are formed through separate Acts or a general guideline that is enacted by the state. For instance, take the case of Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh has 21 private universities registered under separate acts. Samples of such Acts for selected universities are noted below. These are information collected from the respective sites of these universities. -The implications and significance of these acts are not easily available until possibly an RTI is filed for the same. Note for instance that some of these Acts are also confusing; as in the case of Invertis University. Such heterogeneity of legislations compel us question the implications of these legislation. -Separate legislations for each university smacks transparency and breeds cronyism and dishonesty. Each state Government has to frame the rules for the sector and not for individual applicants. This endangers the basic tenants of equality before law. Since the intent is to promote private universities (again, the state has to clarify its position in the policy) the State has to ensure a level playing field for the competent parties. When the sector is opened up, the objective shall be to improve the quality of the education, up gradation of the courses on timely basis and availability and accessibility to the higher education avenues. These guidelines shall be incorporated in the legislation rather giving space for arbitrage. -The case of Rajasthan provides some clue on where the legislations of the UGC or the states could be lagging to ensure that suitable players are not entering into the field of higher education in the country. -The federal state of Rajasthan has notified ‘Guidelines for the Establishment of Private Universities’ by Separate Act replacing the Rajasthan Private Universities Act, 2005. The guidelines cover three stages of entry of any player into private universities-an application stage, a stage where a government committee approves the sponsoring body, and a compliance stage where the government ensures that the conditions are met. While these umbrella guidelines exist there are two factors which facilitate cronyism. There are no clear definitions on who would constitute the committee (to approve the sponsoring body’s proposal) and what the criteria would be for selecting them. In addition the power given to the committee to evaluate the sponsoring body’s proposalbased on“back ground of the sponsoring body that is to say its expertise and experience in the field of education, its general reputation etc. and its commitment to follow the norms of the regulating bodies; and potentiality of the courses proposed to be offered that is to say the courses are able to develop the human resources as per the requirements of contemporary demands, the courses have new features and include emerging branches of learning” are open to questions and challenges. All these conditions are subject to interpretation and thus promote nepotism. -Computers, furniture: worth 20 lakhs, and undertaking worth 1 crore within the first five years. -When spending of stipulated amounts are made mandatory, it is also equally important to provide specifications on the kind of journals or the quality or kind of books to be brought. These are largely excluded from the guidelines. While it is accepted that a “university” has huge institutional criteria, which can be met only through a large capital flow, the necessary conditions that mandates entry of trusts, a society or a section 25c company as the sponsoring body raises questions on the possibility of crony capital finding space in this sector. The guideline mostly discusses the amount to be dispersed but not on the outcome part of such an institutional set up. Input costs mentioned in the guidelines are according to UGC norms but this again violates the reasons for state legislations to license private universities. -The premise of our article emphasizes the importance of private participation in higher education. This has sufficient gains not only in innovating in curricula but also in challenging the norms set in our educational environment. However, a keen observation on the sector in its current form reflects the lack of proper regulations in private universities across the states. We have highlighted the case of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh because of the proliferation of private universities in these states. As we have observed there are serious challenges in the legislations in these states, not only when individual Acts legislate the existence of these universities but also when blanket guidelines are used to promote these institutions. The way forward for the private university environment in India, we believe, might not be thorough the existing regulatory provisions under the UGC. In fact the UGC has to define its role, which is now stuck between a grant giver and a regulator. Continuous monitoring of the private sector in higher education would require the functioning of an independent regulatory authority. This would be the first step to ensure transparency in this sector. The intend and objectives of the private universities need to be redefined. One should not forget that it was the failure of the existing systems and processes that demand the private universities. If these private universities are also regulated by these failed rules and frameworks, it is not only a wastage of time and resources but also a national shame. -COLUMBIA SPY: Dozens attend CBFD Open House to learn about fire prevention and safety - and to ride the fire trucks! -Dozens attend CBFD Open House to learn about fire prevention and safety - and to ride the fire trucks! -Riding on a fire engine is a fantasy for most kids, but last night it became a reality for those visiting Columbia Borough Fire Department's Open House. Before climbing aboard the trucks, however, children collected several fire safety related items to fill the backpacks they received there. They also got close-up looks inside an ambulance, police car, and a QRS vehicle. Sparky the Fire Dog greeted guests, many of whom posed with him for photos. Although activities were designed to be fun, education remained at the forefront to teach children (and adults) about fire prevention and safety. Several kids even braved entering a fire safety trailer filled with smoke to learn how to escape a fire.

Nigel thinks the world may be a better place without him. -Still, Harper’s their friend and they’re intent on helping her any way they can. The Martinis will stop at nothing—with the possible exception of cocktails and walks with their bull mastiff Skippy—to see that the killer ends up behind bars. -This is one of my all-time favorite series! -I was so excited to get this book. Nic, Nigel, and Skippy are so much fun to be around. The characters are loosely based on the characters from The Thin Man Series by Dashiell Hammett but you don’t need to read the books or watch the movies to enjoy these stories although fans will love the similarities. -This time they are in New York for a Broadway debut. After a critic gives a scathing review he is found dead. The critic happens to be married to Nic’s friend Harper. Nigel is not too sorry the man is dead but he joins Nic to help find the killer and support her friend any way they can. -This story is a really quick read. The pace is fast, the dialogue is snappy, and humor runs profusely throughout. -If you are new to this series you need to know that Skippy is not a small dog. He is a bull mastiff and he goes almost everywhere with Nigel and Nic. When people see him for the first time there is usually quite a reaction. -As we approached, her gaze dropped to Skippy: seconds later, her jaw followed suit. “Dear God, is that a dog?” she asked. -I really enjoy the way Tracy Kiely writes. I feel like I am right with the “in crowd” tagging along with the Martinis. I can picture everything so clearly from the setting to the drinks to what everyone is wearing. She also gives us a fine mystery with plenty of suspects. The plot is lighthearted and has a breezy feel. You know like the movies from the days before I was born that remain some of my favorites today. I easily read it in an evening and found it absolutely entertaining. -A Perfect Manhattan Murder is the perfect spring/summer read, including recipes for some perfect cocktails. I highly recommend the entire series!! -Hey, I actually knew a Nic Martini! She kind of behaved like this one, too. -Sounds like a fun mystery! Thank you for the contest! -Sounds like a fun new to me series, would love to win, thank you! -Will have to check this series out since my daughter has owned bull mastiffs and currently has a daniff, sweetest dog ever but very intimidating. -I’m a big fan pf these mysteries & this one looks amazing. Thanks for this generous chance. -Another new-to-me author to try. Thanks for a chance to win a copy. I love the cover. -Thanks for the review. Another new to me author. On my TBR. -The Thin Man returns, updated. -Wow — A Perfect Escape! I’m looking forward to reading this book! -Live the cover! Sounds like a great read and I’m looking forward to reading the book. -Sounds like an interesting story. I’d love to read it. -Looks like a great read! Thank you for the heads up to a new author and read. Do hope this will be a beginning. -What if God knew our secrets? -“8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. -We don’t know what Jesus wrote with his finger on the ground. We can only guess. The Text says that the older men left first. This was a society that esteemed elders and they would’ve been in the front. They would’ve seen what Jesus was writing first. I believe Jesus was writing out the list of each mans dalliances, names and dates. -Who was without sin? not one in that crowd. There is no crowd where the outcome would be any different. No one is without sin. -The one man who lived his life without sinning, Jesus, stood there completely justified to condemn this woman but instead he forgave her. -He knows all of them. He knows all of our past. Here’s the hard part to understand, he still loves us. Jesus knew us and and our sin and yet went to the cross to pay for them all, to pay for us all. -I did some stuff, bad stuff. I was young and stupid. I cannot undo what I did. I recently met an older gentleman who knows part of my story. I can’t see him without thinking about that part of my life and feeling shame and remorse. He only knows part of my story. God knows it all. Every detail. Every motive. Every move I made, he was watching me. He has enough on me to condemn me for eternity but instead he has forgiven it all. -Jesus paid it all. It’s not fair, but it’s true. I walk away forgiven. -Thank you Jesus. You have set me free! -You don’t have the corner on stupid stuff we have done. I too, do not understand why I am still loved, yet am grateful He knows me/loves me. If only I could love so un-condioniously. -Previous Previous post: Acquitted or condemned? -Welcome! This Babe Eats is a food & travel blog based out of Tampa, FL & Austin, TX. Take a look around, hope you brought your appetite! -Private valet companies take up public parking spaces for profit. They cause traffic to back up on West Davis at Bishop during peak times. And they perpetuate the perception that valet is the only option for parking in Bishop Arts. -Those are the complaints of some Oak Cliff neighbors who want City Council to review the practices of valet companies in Bishop Arts. -Amy Cowan of Go Oak Cliff, who is a co-owner of Oddfellows, began circulating a survey/petition last week asking neighbors their level of support for the current parking situation. -I like the valet the way it is now. -I want all valet removed. -Valet is fine, but needs to be relocated immediately. -Valet should only be allowed to operate in private lots. -City Councilman Scott Griggs has said business and property owners are coming up with a plan to move the valet stand from the corner of Bishop at Seventh, where it blocks public parking spaces and unnecessarily holds up traffic. The stand would move to Bishop Avenue between Seventh and Eighth. In that case, at least some of the on-street parking on Bishop wouldn’t be available for self-park while the valet companies operate. -Like so many, I enjoy Bishop Arts. I was pulling into a spot on Seventh which was the first spot away from Bishop that didn’t have a cone blocking it. A valet attendant bolted over stating it was for valet only and wanted me to move or leave my keys with him- I refused him and stated that it is a public/city-owned space. He backed away but obviously irritated. -It’s bad enough that in so many places (Mia’s on Lemmon) that you have to surrender your keys in a private lot, but when it’s a public space, it’s even more egregious. -1.

So congratulations to Lynn and his staff for pulling that off. -Bevis concluded by saying “thank you to Lynn for the numerous other projects he spearheaded to help put our city on the map where it is today” before he directed the group to the front of the facility for the unveiling of the sign. -Following the reveal, Rives spoke about receiving the (slightly delayed) honor. -“I’m very happy. It’s a very nice thing to do and I really appreciate it,” he told Oldsmar Connect. -Oldsmar officials dodge flying metal clips during the unveiling of the sign dedicating the Lynn Rives Environmental Education Center on Monday, Mar. 12, 2018. -Despite his initial reluctance to have something named after him, Rives admitted it was special to see his name on this facility. -Braithwaite and Rives’ successor, Felicia Donnelly, also commented after the ceremony. -“He is an amazing go-getter,” Braithwaite, who started his career with the city at the same time as Rives, said. “I’ve never seen anyone who gets things done as well as he does. -This book showcases interviews and micro-documentaries with the men, women and children caught in slavery, making the clothes sold on our high streets, in Europe and the developing world. Chapters look at the modern slavery act, the global economy, 'meet the slaves', fair and social innovation, and a guide to your own toolkit to be the change. -There are over 35 million people trapped in modern slavery today - the largest number of slaves in modern history. This is fueled by the global demand for cheap labor, which is what makes the fast fashion industry work. Slave to Fashion is a highly accessible book which uses brilliant design, personal stories, and easy-to-grasp infographics to raise awareness among common brand consumers. -Fair trade and sustainable fashion expert Safia Minney draws on her extensive knowledge and personal experience to call attention to the human hardship that goes hand-in-hand with producing our clothes, and highlights what governments, business leaders, and consumers can do to call time on this unnecessary suffering. The product of a successful crowdfunding campaign, Slave to Fashion celebrates those fighting for justice and the many initiatives that are taking place. It contains a practical toolkit that all consumers can use to demand change from the companies that produce our clothes. -Written by Safia Minney. Paperback. 160 pages.

"He didn't survive his injuries and is dead." -The demonstrators, protesting against a delay in holding local elections in the West African country, erected makeshift barricades in Labe, several hundred kilometers northeast of Conakry, and threw rocks at police who responded with tear gas. -"It is currently really tense in Labe," Naite said, adding that the authorities were trying to calm the situation. -Hundreds of people also marched in the capital Conakry as well as the cities of Kindia and Dabola as part of a nationwide protest, considered illegal by the government, against the timing of elections. -The opposition accuses the government of breaking a promise it made in 2013 to hold a long-delayed local ballot before a presidential vote due in October this year. -President Alpha Conde told journalists during a visit to Paris on Wednesday that there were no plans to change the electoral calendar. -In Conakry's suburb of Bambeto, residents said they heard a spurt of gunfire at noon, without specifying the origin. -A local radio station Lynx FM said that several people with bullet injuries had been brought into a local clinic in the capital, although this could not be independently verified. -"Since this morning, we are trying to stop protesters from gathering. Whenever we see a group we try to disperse them rapidly," said a police officer, requesting anonymity. He said he was not aware of reports of gunfire. -Protests earlier this month turned violent and the opposition accuses security forces of firing live rounds at protesters, wounding several people. The government denies this. -Presidential and legislative elections since 2010, when Guinea emerged from decades of military rule, have been marred by violent protests, with parties divided along ethnic lines. -Members of the opposition said on Thursday that police forces were surrounding the houses of their leaders to prevent them from participating in the protest. -"They blocked the two exits with pick-up trucks and a van with water cannons. Clearly, they don't want leaders to get out and are trying to control the protest," said Souleymane Tianguel Bah, spokesman for the UFDG party. -Sidya Toure, former prime minister and now a member of the opposition, said security forces were also outside his home. -I made some laundry white goods a while ago, this is to compliment it. -Naturally you can use them in any room or setting, but I had this in mind when i made them. -I have altered the footprint to allow it. -you can stack them on top of each other on the floor. -pic shows they are actually single. -The shelf is in surfaces displays. -The rest is in bathroom deco. -Hi, the link to the white goods and the link to the power points takes us to a link that is an empty domain add site thingy...

Bush, a yellow Labrador service dog who worked with the late former President George H.W. Bush, will be traveling with Bush’s casket on his flight to Washington, DC, according to a source familiar with the plans. -A highly trained service dog, Sully will now go back into service to help other veterans and is going to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, former President George W. Bush wrote in an Instagram post. -“As much as our family is going to miss this dog, we’re comforted to know he’ll bring the same joy to his new home, Walter Reed, that he brought to 41,” Bush wrote. -Sully can perform a two-page list of commands, including answering the phone and fetching items. -“As one person said, he can do just about anything except make you a martini, but not to worry, he can go get you someone to make you a martini,” McGrath said in June. -He was trained by America’s VetDogs and developed his own huge following on Instagram, @sullyhwbush. America’s VetDogs is a charity that provides service dogs to veterans, active-duty service members and first responders with disabilities. -Sometimes your large featherless assistant confuses the presence of feathers on your body with your overall interest in getting up early. -These two are not related – at all. -What is even more confusing is that she also doesn’t like to get up early.

He wrote a book years later, recalling his solitary experience and reflecting on how much had changed since access into and interest in the park had increased. I couldn’t have chosen a more appropriate book for my vacation this fall to Zion National Park, a few hours drive from Arches. This book encompasses more than Abbey’s ranger experiences, expanding to include rich stories of the history and folklore of this region. -During his lifetime, Abbey was an avid environmentalist, and it’s with more than a tinge of anger and sarcasm that he wrote of the state of our country’s national parks. While his thoughts on the method and madness of the US government’s management of national parks may seem extreme to some, I found I shared many of his opinions on how to deal with the conflicting interests of government, tourists and wilderness. -Rule number one: Get out of the car and walk! -Almost all metals in the universe were produced in stars through nuclear fusion. As stars died, they released these metals into their surrounding environment. These heavy elements were then incorporated into later generations of stars, which eventually exploded as supernovae and released more metals into their surroundings, and so on. -But can we get even more specific? Instead of just considering how metallicities change as a function of radius, can we start to consider how metallicities change around the disk of a galaxy? -Satellite Galaxies All in a Row—How So? -Hyper-velocity stars (HVS) are so named because they speed through our galaxy really, really fast. So fast, in fact, that they can escape the gravitational pull of our galaxy (about 300 km/s for the Milky Way). This means that either they are flying in from somewhere else altogether, maybe a dwarf galaxy that collided with us, or they were accelerated to such high velocities by a dramatic event within our own galaxy. There are two widely accepted theories about what this event could be, and HVS stars are often divided into two categories based on which origin story they fit best. One theory proposes that when a binary star system gets too close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way it is ripped apart by the strong gravitational forces, leaving one star in a close orbit around the black hole and ejecting the other. However, some HVS have been seen travelling from other parts of the galaxy. These can also be explained with binary star systems, but in this case it is the force of the supernova explosion of one star that ejects its companion and accelerates it to high speeds. -What’s the first question that comes to mind when someone tells you they have discovered an exoplanet? Very likely, you want to know if it looks anything like the Earth. To actually answer that question, we need to not only find exoplanets but also characterize them, figuring out properties like the size of the planet, whether it has liquid water, and its atmospheric composition. -Despite being such temperamental objects, variable stars can be reliable tools for probing the universe. By measuring the period of a variable star, we can learn about its composition, age, and brightness, broadly speaking. Applying that knowledge to large populations of variable stars can tell us about the structure of the Milky Way and our nearby Universe (shoutout to Henrietta Swan Leavitt and the Cepheid period-luminosity relation) as well as stellar evolution. -The authors of today’s paper used the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution catalogue (aka TGAS) which provides very high-accuracy velocity data for potential lens stars, and cross matched it with all of the stars in the Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) source catalog to find any microlensing events that would happen within Gaia’s remaining lifetime. After combing through over 13,000 candidate lens stars, the authors were able to find one promising microlensing event for Gaia to detect! It turns out that we’re in for a treat on November 11th, 2019: LAWD 37, one of the closest known WDs to the Sun at only 4.6 parsecs away, will pass within a fraction of an arcsecond of a background star (with the somewhat less catchy name: Gaia Source 5332606346467258496), as shown in figure 3. -If only our eyes were sensitive enough, the night sky would be ablaze with nearby astronomical structures. The Andromeda Galaxy would stretch across the sky about six times the angular width of the full Moon. The Magellanic Clouds would be fireballs tens of Moons across. The reddened molecular filaments of the nearby star-forming region Taurus-Auriga, glittering with young stars, would stretch over an area about 30 Moons across. -Various studies throughout the years have established the fact that the gas giants significantly influenced the formation and evolution of our solar system. Jupiter in particular is thought to have played a considerable role in shaping the formation of the inner solar system. Astronomers believe that during the formation of the solar system, Jupiter blocked material from flowing into the inner disk, altered the velocity distribution of this material, and disrupted planet formation within several AU of the sun, leaving our solar system with no planets out to 0.39 AU. Because the gas giants played such an integral role in the formation of our own solar system, scientists are now interested in whether similar processes occur in exoplanetary systems. -During a recent visit to the Dutch National Maritime Museum I came across the world map from 1648 AD by cartographer Joan Blaeu. In addition to being the first world map of the Earth that adhered to the Copernican worldview, Blaeu’s map is an extremely detailed document of the knowledge of the world at the time sourced solely from the information gathered by explorers from their travels through ages to the far reaches of the world. It’s inaccuracies and subjectivity to the western view of the world are quite amusing, but there is still a level of high detail and surprising accuracy. Through these details, it is clear that cartographers must meticulously piece together information from a large number of sources of varying reliability. Creating maps of exoplanets, also beginning to be known as Exocartography, is an equally challenging observational and mathematical problem which is addressed by today’s paper. -Creating maps of exoplanets can give an idea of the presence of climatic features in the planetary atmosphere or surface which when compared to predictions from general circulations models can give us an insight into physical processes in play in their atmospheres. Observations in this context comprise of continuous monitoring of the brightness of a planetary system as different regions of the planet come into view. A schematic of these occultations is shown in Figure 1. Disk integrated flux (total flux from the planet’s surface which is visible as a circular disk) of the planet observed as a function of time in this way can then be converted to flux (more easily so for a tidally locked planet) as a function of spatial locations on the planet (which are coming into view as a function of time) to render a 2D brightness map of the planet for the chosen wavelength band. -Since the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015, there’s been a large focus on the gravitational waves produced by binary systems due to their loudness and characteristic signature. Most of this attention has focused on binary systems composed of compact objects like black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs as these are naturally the loudest events, the only binaries we know to exist in the frequency bands of ground-based interferometers…and compact objects are really cool. However, the coming space-based interferometer LISA will open up an entirely new frequency band for gravitational wave detection, and with it new progenitor systems to probe. Previous Astrobites have focused on some of these systems, such as supermassive black hole binaries, neutron star-white dwarf binaries, and even galactic binaries like AM Canum Venaticorum-type systems. However all these systems are still composed of compact and stellar, or larger, sized objects. Today’s paper takes a close look at a very different kind of binary system, an ultra-short period exoplanet, and shows that some of them should produce detectable gravitational wave signatures. -Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered to date, the vast majority within the past twenty years. In comparison with more massive and compact systems composed of black holes and neutron stars, the intrinsic gravitational wave luminosity of exoplanet systems is quite weak, but for select systems that are close to Earth their proximity can make up for the relatively weak signal and can be loud enough to be detected above the gravitational wave background. In order for such exoplanet systems to be detectable in the frequency range of space-based interferometers they must have extremely short periods of order an hour or less, and to be loud enough the planet has to be quite large. -Seeing Red (and Blue): Two Sub-Populations of Type Ia Supernovae? -Type Ia supernovae are useful because we can use them as standardizable candles—objects whose inherent luminosity we can figure out based on various properties such as how long it takes for them to fade after brightening. Once we know their luminosity (how much light they actually emit) we can calculate their distance based on measuring their brightness (how much light we measure from them here on Earth) and applying the inverse-square law. Actually figuring out their luminosity requires some care, however. We think that Type Ia supernovae can happen in at least two different ways (see this bite from 2012 for an explanation), and astronomers using them for distance measurements need to make various empirical corrections in order to do so. -In the last 2000 years, only 8 supernovae have occurred within our galaxy that were bright enough to be recorded by humans. Among these is SN 1572, which was seen in the year 1572. It was observed around the world, but is perhaps most famously associated with the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, who wrote a small book about it titled De Nova Stella. As an aside, the title of that book is where the modern-day terms ‘nova’ and hence ‘supernova’ come from. The appearance of a new star in the sky helped to challenge the old Aristotelian understanding that the heavens were unchanging. Even today, there is a lot that we can learn from this supernova. -At the site where SN 1572 occurred, we see today a supernova remnant — a cloud of gas that was thrown off by the supernova (see Figure 1). In fact, the gas shell is still visibly expanding, as you can see in this video. By studying light emitted by the supernova and reflected from surrounding material, researchers in 2008 were able to tell that SN 1572 was a type Ia supernova. Supernovae of this type are used to measure the distances to far-away galaxies, because of their unique feature that each explosion has almost the same luminosity. We know that Type Ia supernovae are caused by exploding white dwarfs, but we don’t fully understand what triggers the explosion. There are two important models: either the white dwarf collides with another white dwarf, or it grows in mass by pulling in material from a companion star. -In the second of those two models, the companion star should survive the explosion and be flung away at a relatively high speed. Apart from having a high velocity, it would look just like a normal star near the supernova remnant. Therefore, by looking for a star near the supernova remnant that might be a surviving companion, researchers can hope to tell which of the two models triggered the explosion in SN 1572. -If you’ve ever seen Star Wars (the original saga), you probably remember that scene in A New Hope with the two suns. You know, Luke Skywalker is whining about being stuck on his home planet Tatooine and stomps off into the binary sunset. Two suns hover over the horizon in a way that we Earthlings never witness in our single star system. -Well, this scene in the science fiction masterpiece is not so far off from reality. Planets have been found to exist around binary star systems. Whether or not there are droids and Jedi on those planets is a different story. -Today’s paper examines the phenomenon of extended main sequence turn-off (eMSTO) in a galactic open cluster – NGC 2818A. To do this, the authors make use of Gaia DR2, the data gift that keeps on giving, along with archival VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy. -Our first detection of gravitational waves with LIGO changed everything for astronomy. For the first time, we are able to not just look out into the Universe, but “listen” to it as well. So far, we’ve heard the collisions of the remnants of massive stars: black holes and neutron stars. The resulting data has had massive implications in fields from general relativity to nucleosynthesis. Today’s paper proposes a new use for detections of binary black hole (BBH) mergers. Vitale & Farr (2018) make the argument that if we know how often black holes are colliding, we should be able to determine how often stars form to produce these black holes. -British Business Investments, a wholly-owned commercial subsidiary of British Business Bank plc, the UK’s national economic development bank, today publishes its Annual Reports and Accounts for 2017/18, its fourth year of operation. -1. Support financial innovation and diversity – we supported the development of diverse debt and equity finance markets by increasing our number of investment partners from 38 in 2017 (as at 31 March 2017) to 58 in 2018 (as at 31 March 2018), particularly through and Venture and Growth Capital. -2.

I try to treat the foods you eat the same way as the oil you put in your car engine to help it perform. You wouldn’t put olive oil into your car… so why would you put chocolate syrup into to your body? It just doesn’t add up. So if you’re looking to boost your focus and improve your productivity…. one of the places you should start with is what you’re eating…. like these superfoods. -We all know that antioxidants are good for you, and superfoods are packed full of them. They pick up free radicals and help decrease inflammation in your system that can lead to weight gain, brain fog and even joint pain. My favourite superfood of the berry bunch is the Haskapa Berry. Native to Japan, the Nova Scotia climate is perfect for growing these antioxidant-filled punches of flavour. Antioxidants are important for your focus because they help to stimulate the flow of blood and oxygen to [your] brain. More blood flow = more brain power – what more can I say? -I LOVE a good hit of caffeine to help perk up my brain power…. but green tea goes one step further than the true love of my life (coffee) due to the l-theanine content of this herb. L-theanine is great because it’s been shown to “increase alpha-wave activity”, which increases calmness and releases caffeine more slowly; instead of all at once. This is great for productivity and focus because it means that you can get your work down without worrying about that crash. -I LOVE KALE. But not everyone does. One of the reasons dark green leafy vegetables are so critical for our brain power is because they are filled to the leaf (ha!) with antioxidants, carotenoids and B Vitamins. The combination of these compounds help to boost your brain power and protect those synapses (which transmit signals across your brain) as well as helping your memory. -These fish; like herring, sardines, kippers and mackerel, are filled with omega-3 fatty acids. These omega-3’s help to aid memory, mental performance and brain function, and those of us with less omega-3’s are more likely to have poor memory, mood swings, depression and fatigue. -Please. If you want to improve your focus, you need to drink enough water. Water gives the brain the electrical energy for all rain functions, including thought and memory processes. Plus, you can imagine after living in NS winters what dehydration could only do to your brain. -September 27, 2018 — There’s no denying electrical safety in the workplace is critically important—not just for electrical contractors themselves, but also for the operators of electrical equipment and for business productivity. -Properly maintaining electrical equipment plays a key role in creating a safe workplace. Yet a number of Canadian companies don’t have an electrical equipment maintenance program or understand its importance. -In fact, it was only in 2013, when CSA Z463, Guideline on Maintenance of Electrical Systems, was introduced, that Canada finally had a document on electrical maintenance, explains Kerry Heid, chair of the Z463 Technical Committee. -And even then, Z463 was only introduced as a guideline, which is more of a “recommended practice,” Heid says. This will now change with the release of CSA Z463, Standard on Maintenance of Electrical Systems, in September. -What is Z463? Put simply, it is a standard that requires companies to create an electrical equipment maintenance program, explains Terry Becker, a member of the Z463 Technical Committee. -The standard recommends a number of such strategies, he adds, including predictive, preventive, run-to-fail, reliability-centred and risk-based. -As a standard on electrical maintenance, Z463’s scope is very broad, covering equipment for power generation, transmission and distribution, transformers, cables, switchgear and much more. -Annex M of Z463, explains Becker, provides a set of tables that identify these types of electrical equipment, provide guidance for recommended electrical tests and, based on the level of importance of service, the frequency at which these tests should be performed on the equipment. -However, Heid points out, it does not cover overhead lines or residential electrical equipment. -Z463’s ultimate priority, Becker argues, is safety. Following this standard will ensure reliability of service and manage damage through protective devices, he explains. -If electrical equipment is not maintained properly, on the other hand, then there is the risk of failure. -“When qualified electrical professionals have to work on it, we want to minimize their exposure to arc flash and shock hazards,” he says. -Predictive maintenance is one possible strategy for reducing these types of exposure. -In fact, Heid points out, Z463 lists 10 different online maintenance diagnostic tests, including visual inspections, corona imaging, acoustics, ultrasound and vibration analysis. -But not all of these tests are mandatory. -Given this focus, there is clearly a strong relationship between Z463 and CSA Z462, Standard on Workplace Electrical Safety. -Z462 also defines normal operating conditions of energized electrical equipment, Becker adds. -When an arcing fault is accidentally created, then “the power circuit breaker with protected relay functions as predicted, so we limit the incident energy, i.e. the heat released from an arc flash,” Becker explains. -With the release of Z463 as a standard, Becker says there is now a “safety trifecta” in Canada. -“The Canadian Electrical (CE) Code Part 1 covers safe installations, CSA Z462 covers safe workplaces and then Z463 helps bring those two together,” he explains. -This is an important change, he says, because the CE Code mandates the safe installation of electrical equipment, but does not include maintenance requirements, while Z462 recognizes the need for safe workplace practices when working on and operating energized electrical equipment. -As a result, you’ll have better reliability and more uptime. -Company managers may be wondering about additional impacts of Z463 on their business, such as costs and training. Fred Tanguay, a consultant for Canada Training Group, is answering this call by teaching them how to integrate and implement Z463 into their maintenance programs. In his opinion, the standard will help drive the requirement for proper maintenance home. -He acknowledges many companies might be averse to Z463 because of the cost. -Consequently, he says it’s “absolutely paramount” for companies to maintain their electrical systems properly. If the equipment malfunctions or breaks, “the repair cost is usually 50 times the replacement cost,” since companies have to pay for overtime, temporary power supplies, and account for production loss. -It’s not just the employees who operate and maintain the equipment that need to understand Z463, Tanguay explains. But he often sees only these workers attending his classes. -In applying this standard, Becker says, companies will turn to electrical contractors. Indeed, contractors who market electrical equipment maintenance to their clients can use Z463 to help them develop maintenance strategies, tests and test frequencies. -Heid agrees Z463 will be extremely beneficial in helping electrical contractors convince their clients of the importance of well-maintained systems and equipment. -Despite the benefits and value of Z463, Becker points out, it has not been widely adopted. -CSA will promote Z463 as a standard on its website, through its social media channels and at conferences. The Technical Committee will promote it, as well. -This article originally appeared in the September 2018 issue of Electrical Business. -I’m a workaholic. I work most of the time and have to keep myself from squeezing in a task in my spare moments. Yet, today I’ve decided I’m not going to do anything, except rest, relax, and recharge. And, you know what? So far, it has been great. -My day has been filled with laying on the coach, watching T.V., and eating leftovers. The only “work” I have done has been online shopping. The beauty of being lazy is that it helps a person become a better person, because you are able to refuel and ease some of your stress. It is a type of self-care that everyone needs to do. -While you may be spending hours in store lines today, make sure to take some time being lazy and enjoying the day. Trust me, you’ll feel better and stronger to take on the holiday chaos. -I’m a middle school teacher, who spends her free time doing DIY projects, reading, and relaxing. Welcome to my journey! -A while back my friend John asked if anyone was interested in playing darts. There were many of us that thought it was a good idea and were interested in playing. So he checked into the possibilities and came up with Hennesseys as a place with a dart board. So with Hennesseys being a great place and with a board and cerveza and food, well, look no further! John did a great job! Yea John! -In getting ready to go today I had to find my darts. I hadn't shot them let alone seen them since arriving her in Merida five years ago. I used to play darts a lot back in the states because it was something that came naturally to me and it was fun. It took me about an hour to finally find them and it was just in time to go. -We met today at three o'clock. There were seven of us and we were stoked and ready to have fun shooting darts. However, Hennessey's darts had been overly used by their patrons and were not in a serviceable condition. I was so pleased that I had brought mine with me as it saved the day. -We talked about how we were going to play and what game we were going to play. -and drinking......well you have to because that's what you do when you shoot darts! -we decided to play 301, it's a game where both teams start with 301 points and the points accumulated from each throw is subtracted until one team gets to zero....and you must get to zero exactly. -there are more details to the game and scoring but we were there to have fun, maybe we'll get more detailed later but for now we're just going to have fun. Who knows, maybe we'll get to the point that we'll have a league or something if we can get enough players. -Nancy was pretty darn consistent with getting great points when she threw. -So we continued to shoot, drink, and eat and drink, shoot and eat, and well, you get the picture! -So if this seems like something you'd like to try we'll be doing it again the last Friday in April at 3PM. So come join us and we'll laugh, and drink, and eat, and shoot darts, and laugh, and...............! -The NBHS S3 netball team is celebrating after winning the Scottish Schools Gold Cup. This is the second time the girls have lifted the cup, having also won as S1s in 2017. -The girls started their campaign in October and have remained unbeaten throughout the competition. They topped the group stage, sending them directly into the Gold stream. NBHS then went on to beat Glasgow Gaelic School 55:25 at home in the 3rd round, before being drawn in a difficult fixture away to Peebles – last year’s cup holders – in the next round, a challenge which the girls took in their stride, winning 44:32. The semi-final was against last year’s losing finalists Douglas Ewart High School, and again the girls comfortably took victory 45:30 which put them into the finals against Holyrood High School – the team which knocked them out last year. Once the girls took to the court at the finals it was clear they were in it to win it. Holyrood fought till the very end but NBHS was too strong and the final score was an emphatic 50:22. -Another fantastic achievement – congratulations girls! -Team: Sophie Hetherington, Lois Turnbull, Katie Lennock (c), Grace Tremlett, Annabelle Conroy, Keira Maynard, Ellen Maslen, Marcia Callander and Ella Malaika Spring. -The NBHS senior boys’ basketball team beat Falkirk High School 88-54 on Tuesday to win the Basketball Scotland Schools Open Boys Cup Final for the first time in the school’s history. -The game, played at the Oriam in Edinburgh, started slightly nervously for North Berwick, with Falkirk taking a 10-2 lead early on. However, the team quickly adjusted to the Falkirk defence and finished the first quarter up 15-12. From then on NBHS dominated, taking a 42-26 lead into half time and seeing out the second half comfortably. -It was an impressive performance from the whole squad, with everyone getting playing time, and there were stand-out games from Owen Mackle, Finn Baxter and Shaun Samson. It was also a fitting end to the school basketball careers of S6 pupils David Crowley and Ciaran McSherry, who have both been an integral part of the school team for the last six years. -The team conducted themselves impeccably throughout the season, and were a real credit to the school. With the majority of the team returning next year, the future is looking bright for NBHS basketball. -At the tender age of 42, I’m discovering a part of the comic world that I hadn’t really seen much of. It’s been there for quite a while (I’m sure). As much as I love visual storytelling, comics and graphic novels were never my thing. So, I never really saw all that was out there. -It’s possible that what scared me off from the genre was that I wasn’t much of a superhero fan growing up. I like a good Iron Man movie, sure. And even starting checking out the very beginning of Marvel's The Amazing Spiderman series from 1963 (a strong recommendation from a lifelong friend). -Anyway, with the comics iPad apps you there (I know, I know…sacrilege!!!), I started poking around and realized that there’s a world of comics in the slice-of-life category. THIS got me excited. It reminded me that one of my favorite movies, Ghost World, came from these books. I was reminded of the wildness of Harvey Pekar. (Although, I admit that my experience with his work and genius is limited to the movie American Splendor and his appearances on Letterman, of course). -So, I started with a few sample pages of Jeff Lemire's Essex County. I was immediately in love. This art is fantastic … in fact it’s the art style that caught my eye. Exactly what I’m looking for. After a quick search for Lemire’s work, I discovered Lost Dogs. Downloaded it. TORE right through it. The art is SICK! It’s incredible. By the time I’d downloaded it, I realized it was his first published work. I could see the evolution of his style right away. (His lines are finer and images tighter in the later published Essex County.) But, damn! The bold, rough (almost scary) red and black and white style in Lost Dogs is so insane. I mean, it’s completely appropriate for the crude storyline … 8-foot brute finds himself in a dark place of violence where faces losing the only people in his life. I gobbled Lost Dogs right up and immediately went back and downloaded The Collected Essex County. -Here are a few of my favorite pages from the first story in the collection, Tales From the Farm. If you love art and storytelling, so far, here’s a recommendation. But check back….I’m just beginning my exploration! -And please, I’m looking for recommendations based on my new crush on Lemire’s work! -Curtis Holland comes from a family of hair dressers.

The church is “the assembly of all believers among whom the gospel is purely preached and the holy sacraments are administered according to the gospel” (Augsburg Confession, Article VII). More than offering praise to God, Lutherans say specifically that the heart of our weekly liturgy is gathering around the word of God proclaimed and the sacraments of holy baptism and holy communion. -You can’t have worship without the assembly of believers. -The community’s presence reminds us that we are more than our individual selves. We are united with the saints of God around the world and throughout the ages. That is what it means to be part of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. The things we do and say in the liturgy have marked Christians for centuries. We gather to remember our baptism, to confess our sins, and to receive God’s forgiveness. We hear the ancient scriptures read in our midst, but proclaimed anew with power and relevance for our day. We gather around the table to be fed with the bread of life and then we are scattered to live our baptismal faith in our daily lives. Gathering - Word - Meal - Sending, this is the flow of our worship. -Holy Communion is celebrated each Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. September – May. During Summer only one service is held at 9:30 a.m. Fellowship and refreshments follow the worship services. Mid-week evening vesper services are offered during Lent and Advent, usually following a light supper. -New Promise enjoys singing praise to the Lord and Sunday’s worship services reflect that in their musical styles. The 8:00 Traditional service uses hymns and liturgical music mainly from Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) accompanied by organ. A blend of music - hymns both old and new along with familiar songs from popular Christian music - are the basis for the blended 10:30 service with accompaniment from both organ and instruments. Holden Evening Prayer is a favorite for vespers. -All who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are welcome to receive Holy Communion. When you come forward, please pick up an empty cup (or select a cup filled with grape juice), receive the gluten free bread and then step forward to have your cup filled with wine. There are baskets at the head of each side aisle for the used cups. -Get your toes in the sand and leave your worries behind in the Volcom Stripey Slinger Board Short. Four-way stretch ensures all day comfort and 19in out seam provides moderate coverage. Perfect for relaxing by the pool or playing in the ocean! -Colors are awesome. I have the red/blue combo and it really pops. The drawstring through the waistband is an awesome feature. -Thread: How does love work? -This is not a general question about love (I'm not meaning to trick you with the title) so much as it is about what books have you read on the topic? Do you consider there to be any authorities on the topic? -Love works through menstrual bonding. -Both males and females have a menstrual cycle, only the amplitude of women's menstrual cycle is higher than men's. And of course men have no menses, but men's bodies go through the same cycle as women. -We fall in love when our menstrual cycles are in synch. And interestingly when we are in olfactory contact for a substantial period, our menstrual cycles start cycling together. and we form menstrual bonding to prepare us for the care and raising of children. -The medical research on menstrual bonding was carries out by the Walter and Eliza Medical Institute in Melbourne, Australia. -Glad that the people who dont get the thread got their posts in early. -When you say "work" what do you mean .. the mechanism of it? My favorite description of love is akin to the velveteen rabbits segment on what is "real" -I was really just looking for people's recommended reads on the topic and used a title I thought would interest people enough to read the thread. -I bought a book on this subject years ago. I read it twice. It is made of more than 250 pages. -I draw a conclusion it is biological and chemical. -Lol..sorry but for what your really asking I have no contribution. Except maybe sperm wars was an interesting read on mate selection but that is not really "love" which is what your asking for. -Tuition Centres in Adailiya offering Geology tuition for the students of Secondary Find the Tutorial centre which is perfect for your little one.

When their guardians are individuals who abuse any forms of drugs, children will always suffer. This form of abuse presents itself in form of physical abuse, emotional abuse, mental abuse or intellectual, sexual abuse and or even neglect. -It is clear that when guardians engage in substance abuse, they most of the time end up abusing their children in the above illustrated ways. There are solutions to these forms of child abuse by guardians. Children are meant to be protected and taken care or by their guardians. They are the people the look up to. -It is important for substance abuse parents to watch out not to abuse their children. As mentioned before, rehabilitation should be the first way to accomplish this. When children feel safe and protected, then the family unit is at peace and unity. -* I’m not sure who’s telling the truth here (although I have my suspicions), but it looks like the governor’s people are more than hinting that Comptroller Hynes is trying to force a budget crisis. On the other hand, it might be assumed that the governor’s office is keeping the squeeze on Medicaid providers in order to prod them into backing his GRT plan, which would provide lots of cashola. -The Blagojevich administration missed a chance to pay $650 million in Medicaid bills in early April, despite a suggestion to act from Comptroller Dan Hynes’ office, the agency said Tuesday. -Knowles said the payment plan relied on money borrowed short term to kick-start an assessment program that taxes hospitals to obtain additional federal money to treat Medicaid patients. However, the legislature still hasn’t approved a supplemental spending bill needed to fully implement the hospital assessment program. -The man behind the so-called tax-swap proposal to fund Illinois schools said Tuesday night that McHenry County state legislators were acting neither fairly nor morally in rejecting his measure. -You were on that bus with him. Does he seem capable of pulling these stunts? -Blagojevich likes to fight and bully, while Hynes is as vanilla as me but comes off as meek. Blagojevich will tell you anything, while Hynes seems very straight-forward. -I’d rather believe Hynes over Blagojevich. But then again, Blagojevich has proved repeatedly that no one should believe anything he says. -Bottom line - tough noogies. The Democrats renominated Blagojevich knowing fully well his numerous shortcomings and scandals. When Blagojevich is done playing with Illinois, the Illinois Democratic Party should be held accountable for the damage done. -Martire’s board includes AFSCME, IFT and AFL-CIO reps. That says more than any speech Ralph gives about where he’s coming from. At least the GRT would provide some health insurance. Ralph wants to give most of our money to the schools regardless of actual education bureaucracy performance, plus some tasty bites of the money pie to unionized state government. -It’s all bait and switch. Bait us with a little property tax relief into a permanent income tax increase without mentioning that the property tax relief won’t be much and won’t last long. -It doesn’t surprise me that Hynes would try to get some press at Blagojevich’s expense. He did it many times in the first term. This is just another example of Hynes using the governor to get himself some positive press. -Isnt it time to combine the offices of comptroller and treasurer anyway? Why do we have these unnecessary constitutional offices? We could probably do away with the Lt. Governor for that matter. What real purpose does the Lt. Gov serve? -Hynes seems to relativity honest and straight talking, unlike Governor Blagojevich, so I would believe Hynes over Blagojevich. Particular when you take some of the latter’s political stunts into account and the history of not paying Medicaid bills. -Usually the HFS folks are the ones who are disingenuous about Medicaid payments, but in this case, HFS probably had little choice but to conserve appropriations for the balance of the fiscal year in order to be able to pay their hardship providers. The Comptroller was correct in saying that there was a period of enhanced liquidity due to the proceeds from the hospital assessment. However, HFS simply didn’t have the appropriation reserves necessary to utilize it. -I think the Comptroller was trying to call out the Governor on the Medicaid deficit, knowing that at this point in the fiscal year, HFS couldn’t respond. -For the love of God. Pay these people already! They have waited long enough. What are you waiting for? A good day for a press release to announce that you are graciously repaying a debt that you owe. -Start by paying the people who have been waiting the longest and start now.

It is also a technical discipline, cultural artifact, and form of communication. At Brandeis, we take an integrated approach to the study of music that incorporates all these dimensions. -Our undergraduate program combines music history, theory, composition and performance. As a music major, you'll take one to two years of theory and training in musicianship skills, and three semesters of music history. You'll participate in university ensembles and take electives chosen from a broad selection of topics. If you wish to focus on a particular area, you may enroll in one of five specialized tracks: composition, cultural studies, history, performance or musical theater performance. -Our music program will not only give you a deep appreciation of the complexity and richness of music—from its basic rules and its range of styles to its performance—but it will also prepare you for a variety of careers. Many of our graduates pursue master's and doctoral degrees in performance, composition, musicology, music production and technology and other related fields. Others go on to become music professors, arts administrators, opera singers, cantors, orchestral musicians, composers, conductors, musical theater directors, TV and record producers, media and digital arts specialists—not to mention doctors, attorneys and teachers. -Music is thriving at Brandeis. We have an award-winning faculty comprised of composers, scholars, instrumentalists, vocalists and conductors who will give you individualized attention. We've got a state-of-the-art music center with 30 pianos (in addition to the one Leonard Bernstein played as a child!), an electro-acoustic studio and a large collection of historical instruments, including a French double harpsichord, a cornamuse and Renaissance flutes. -When you're not studying or practicing, you'll have a front-row seat to hear the renowned Lydian String Quartet. And you'll have myriad opportunities to perform with others—whether your thing is world music, early music, jazz, improv, choral, chamber music or orchestra. -In keeping with the Brandeis commitment to social justice, we see and teach music as a shared human experience, and a way of understanding others, creating a sense of community, and fostering cross-cultural appreciation. -The two-semester Senior Project in Music is your opportunity to complete a thesis, musical performance or composition (or some combination) that is appropriate to the track you’re enrolled in. In all cases, the project must include written work. -The Leonard Bernstein Fellowship is a highly selective chamber music program for which you may apply by submitting a portfolio of your work. The fellowship provides a small number of accomplished vocalists and instrumentalists the benefits of private lessons, additional performance opportunities, and a $20,500 renewable scholarship. -Our distinguished faculty members have received many awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Koussevitzky Prize, the Aaron Copland Award, the Charles Ives Fellowship, the Naumburg Award for Excellence in Chamber Music—not to mention Grammy nominations. -Yu-Hui Chang was a featured guest artist at the Wellesley Composers Conference.

Contents, Contexts, Chronologies" (Boydell & Brewer, 2018). She is also working on a project that is the first project to encode medieval music in the original medieval notation. -A CD of Robert Nieske's "Sonata for Flute and Piano" and arrangements of holiday songs was recorded by Linda Bento-rei, flute, and Vytas Baksis, piano. -Each year, you may participate in the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts, a weeklong showcase of music, art and theater. You may apply for a grant in support of your project. -Studying abroad is an excellent way to deepen your cross-cultural awareness, which is fundamental to music appreciation. Many music students elect to spend time abroad in places like Tanzania, Australia, China, Austria, England, Israel and Ireland. -Through its ties to studios in England, France, Italy and Sweden, the Brandeis Electro-Acoustic Music Studio presents further study abroad opportunities. -The musical training you'll receive as you earn your bachelor of arts in music will prepare you well for a master's or doctoral degree in performance, composition, musicology, music production and technology, and education. Jacob Friedman ’12 is pursuing a PhD in musicology at Princeton University. -Our recent graduates have become music professors, arts administrators, opera singers, cantors, orchestral musicians, composers, conductors, musical theater directors, TV and record producers, and media and digital arts specialists. Others have become doctors, attorneys, and elementary and secondary school teachers. -Rachel J. Peters ’99, a double major in music and theatre arts, has found a highly successful career as a composer, lyricist, and librettist in musical theatre, opera, and musical underscoring.

Co-written with sister Jessie Field ’13, the musical was accepted into the New York Musical Theater Festival's Developmental Reading Program, and received the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Prize for Best Original Play. -Contact Professor Sarah Mead, Undergraduate Advising Head, to learn more about the Music curriculum and requirements for the Music major and minor. -Contact one of the advisers below for more information about pursuing a specific track. -You might choose the music minor to complement a major in mathematics, computer science, philosophy or another field. See the requirements for the minor in the University Bulletin. -"Art Isn't Everything; It's About Everything" -After attending an arts intensive high school, Yoni Battat ’13 wanted to continue his education at a place where he could pursue music as well as other interests. After arriving on the Brandeis campus, he found a quotation on a bulletin board in Slosberg Music Center. Reading these words attributed new meaning to his path at Brandeis. -"Art isn't everything; it's about everything." -Andrea has been leading The Solar Foundation since the relaunch of the organization in 2010, starting out as the single employee. In those early years, it was just Andrea and a shoe-string budget. Andrea expanded the staff and budget within a few short years, and today, The Solar Foundation leads several multi-million dollar programs dedicated to advancing solar energy growth. -As President and Executive Director, Andrea sets the tone, provides overall management and strategic direction, and works closely with the Board to develop and implement high-level research and national educational initiatives to promote the expanded use of solar and solar-compatible technologies. The Solar Foundation’s major initiatives include the annual National Solar Jobs Census, which tracks job growth in the American solar industry; SolSmart, which helps local governments reduce barriers and open up solar markets; and workforce development programs to help the solar industry thrive. -Prior to The Solar Foundation, Andrea ran the City of Milwaukee’s U.S. Department of Energy Solar America Cities program, “Milwaukee Shines,” from 2008-2010. In this position, she helped Milwaukee implement policies aimed at increasing solar energy capacity, including the implementation of one of the nation’s first Property Assessed Clean Energy financing programs and the establishment of the Milwaukee Metro Solar Hot Water Business Council. -Andrea is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. At the University of Wisconsin, she earned her Master’s in Nonprofit Leadership and Management and was awarded the highly competitive Center for Economic Development fellowship through the UW Consortium for Economic Opportunity. -The prototype of the graphic form of the Armenian letter Ն is the Greek “nu” – not the classical N, but one of its varieties. But it is not possible to determine, which variant exactly was used by Mashtots, because there were numerous variations of Ն in the IV–V centuries. -Letter Յ denotes the sound [y]. At first, its phonetic meaning was confined to this, but with the lapse of time it changed. Apparently, no later than the XIII century, letter Յ got to be pronounced as [h] at the beginning of words. -Kona cotton, (P6.2), Hydranga Purple, 1 yard. -100% Kona Cotton, hand dyed in Hydranga purple, mottled, tones range from light lavender through bluish white and dark intense purple. Great for garments and as a solid or sashing in quilting design. -The other day we all decided to take a walk around the pond. �It has been absolutely beautiful here in Floyd this week. �Our morning temperatures have been mid 40’s. �Amazing!! �Wonderful sleeping weather. �The days have only gotten into the mid 70’s. �I love it. �For my part, the Good Lord could just let it be this way all summer and I would be happy. -The girls had lots of fun. �They came in the house and got their wading shoes and spent lots of time wading in the pond. �Jasper even joined them for a while. �He doesn’t care much for water. �I suppose after his accident the first winter, he thinks water isn’t much fun. -Lots of cool bugs were flying around the pond. -I have no idea what they are but if you look closely you can see the tiny blue bugs that were hovering around the blade of grass. -We have so many of these birds. �I couldn’t tell for sure from the picture if they were barn swallows or tree swallows. �Both birds are abundant here. �They will fly down to the pond and touch the water. �It is amazing to watch. �Sometimes as many as 50 or more just skipping above the water. �I’m not sure if they are getting a drink or catching bugs but it is one of our favorite evening passtimes to watch them. -I thought I would share with you all a picture of the lower garden.� It is doing pretty good.� The upper garden is having a little more of a difficult time.� We are having trouble keeping the calves out of it.� They seem to find new ways to get out every day and seem to enjoy the corn in the upper garden very much.� Shadow is getting too old to chase them and Jasper is just learning.� He is on the accelerated learning program right now as I want him to learn quickly.� He actually is getting much better.� He “sometimes” listens and obeys commands.� Sometimes he is just so happy that the calves are running from him, he doesn’t care where they are running.� Oh well, that’s life on a farm. -I just love to see a sunrise or a sunset.� I think it comes from living in the mountains of southwest virginia.� Where I grew up, you never saw either one.�Our house was in what we call a “holler” so�the view was blocked by the mountains.� The sun would hit our yard about 11:00 and go down about 3:00.� I guess thats one of the reasons I love living here in Floyd.� In the summer, the sun is in our yard about 6:30 and leaves about�8:00.� Lots of sunshine, which I love.� This morning God put on another show for us to enjoy.� Thank you Lord!� School today as usual.� It is hard to concentrate on school now though.� We feel like we’re been let out of prison.� The temperatue is warm, the snow is almost gone, so of course everyone wants to be outside instead of in.� We try to mix a little of both so it doesn’t get to bad.� Jasper (young dog) had his first experience with a skunk last night.� Not very pleasant.� I tried a remedy one of the ladies from church told me about.� I sprayed him with Febreeze.� It actually helped quite a lot.� He still smells but not as bad.�I don’t have to cook tonight,�we are eating� at church.� Roast beef and potatoes with all the trimmings.� It has been a long time since we went to church on Wednesday night.� When the weather is bad, they call it off.�� I am definitely looking forward to going tonight.� The girls are involved in TeamKids there at church.� They alternate Wednesdays doing childrens choir and handbells.� They really enjoy the handbells.� The adults are doing a Beth Moore study on the fruit of the spirit.� It has been a really good study so far, however we are pretty far behind because of the bad weather we’ve had this winter.�� They have decided not to watch the video that goes with it, in order to hopefully get it finished in May.� Guess I better get ready to go.� Take care and God bless. -I used to be so strong.� Oh well, it’s not too bad.� The girls really enjoy them being in.� Cold here today.� The wind is blowing pretty hard.� The fire went out last night and when I tried to build a new fire this morning, the smoke was terrible.� I eventually just took the wood out of the stove and left it alone.� I would rather be a little cool than have to deal with all that smoke.� We have the gas logs on so its not too cold.� Hopefully, we will do bible study tomorrow.� I am very excited�to begin this study.��Esther is such an exciting book to study and�I’m sure Beth Moore will bring out things I would never think about.� We are hopefully�going down to Jessica’s�this weekend.��I�want to do some girl stuff.��The town she lives in has an excellent Goodwill Store.��I love shopping at Goodwill!� I�guess I just love thrift store shopping in general, yard sales, consignment sales, etc.� Good deals at good prices.� Well, lunch break is over.� Time for school.� Enjoy your day and God bless. -I took these pictures this afternoon after church.� This road connects to our road.� About 3 weeks ago when the first drifts came, they cleared this road.� I was told it took 12 hours to clear it.� I can only imagine how tall the snow was then, if it still looks like this 3 weeks later.� Church today was very good, communion with a fellowship meal, then a business meeting.� I went alone as Julie is still sick. � Hubby volunteered to stay home with them.� I very seldom go anywhere alone, so it felt very strange.� Julie is feeling some better though so I pray she is on the mend.�� The young pup Jasper seems to be on the mend too.� Take care and God bless. -I thought everyone would enjoy some more snow pictures.� The last picture is the pond.��I�know it just looks�white but it really is snowing hard.� Yes, it is snowing again.� 2-4 inches.� Well, that don’t sound too bad.� We did get out over the weekend.� Went to town Saturday and church yesterday.� It felt good to get out.� Not much else happening here today.� Just school and everyday things.� We brought Jasper (the puppy-I shouldn’t call him puppy anymore) in and gave him a bath this morning.� Very interesting!� He hadn’t had a bath in a while as he has been outside most of the winter.� �I was amazed at how much bigger he is.� I have allowed him to stay in today while he is drying.� He is a very happy dog, and of course Julie is a very happy girl.� Enjoy your day and God bless. -This student is less than threatened by the bully harassing him for his lunch money. He has other things on his mind, like Sarah and her new highlights. Thanks to the confidence provided by the Orbit Peppermint Gum in his pocket, they share a shining moment together as she strolls by. -As the sky turns from blue to orange in the Zimbabwe bush, a cool breeze blows to chase away the scorching heat of the afternoon, ushering in the night. A small brown mammal with plate-like scales rustles through the grass. Little does it know that it walks close to the path of extinction. -There hasn’t been a more dangerous time to be a pangolin. The species has become the most trafficked mammal in the world. They are illegally traded for their scales, as bush meat or for medicinal purposes. But the threat of their extinction rarely makes news. An organisation in Zimbabwe aims to change this by educating the public about an animal many may not know even exists. Enabled by the Tikki Hywood Trust, a group of men dedicate their lives to rehabilitating captured pangolins. They are entrusted with caring for animals that have endured major stress, often having been transported many kilometres bound in a sack, starved and dehydrated. -The process takes a lot of patience. It is a difficult task to gain the trust of the pangolins while trying to nurture them to full health. But the men do this with love for the animal. They have developed an intimate relationship while caring for them. Pangolins are like their children. And like any parent, they will protect their family from anything that poses a threat. -With the monthly snowfall average in Calgary being surpassed within the first four days of November 2017, some tips of getting through winter seemed appropriate! First off, some tips on snow shoveling. -Other quick tips include layering clothes so that you may shed a layer if need be, be sure to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated – even if you feel cold, wear good shoes or boots with grips to avoid slips and falls, and cool down after finishing shoveling with some light stretches. Finally, getting adjusted will help improve flexibility and lessen the chance of injury, and Chiropractic care should also be used after an injury in order to quicken recovery times. -This week at Wednesday Afternoon Writers, we used a prompt idea from one of the amazing demonstrations I had the honor of being a part of this summer at the Denver Writing Project. As a matter of fact, for the past few weeks at WAW, we’ve been using prompts or activities I gleaned from the DWP. These prompts have given a new spark to our writing. -We each chose one strip from each bag and attempted to use them in any way we deemed in our writing. We wrote for ½ hour and shared. -So here are the three poems we used. -Below in my writing I have printed the words of the above poets in bold. In my story they are ordered: Lowell, Forbes and Evans. -Sitting perfectly upright, contented and pensive on a tree stump, Emma pulled the stuffed raccoon closer to her. The soft fur tickled her chin. Emma’s tiny giggle twinkled in the cold morning air, making the darkening forest path a less foreboding walk. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be on the path alone. Emma left her grandmother’s cottage while she could still hear her grandmother’s snoring rising up to her room through the shared fireplace chimney. But she needed to escape and this was her best chance. -Standing up, gathering her courage and her best friend, Emma started down the path. She came to the inevitable fork in the road. But this time there was actually a fork in the road holding three signs, one on each tine. -The third sign stated, “ Green-White Water This Way” and had an arrow pointing to the right. -Emma wasn’t there to do what she always did. And, after all, she had a great imagination. So she wouldn’t even entertain the idea of traveling down the boring, middle road. -Also, she was escaping from seriously risky business. She wasn’t about to add to her troubles by going to the left. -Green-White Water sounded like a welcoming place. She loved to swim and always wanted to visit the ocean. Emma decided this was the “right” path to follow. -With a skip to the right and laugh, “And let the green-white water way be before us!” she declared their mission. And down the right lane, Arthur the Raccoon and Emma the Girl From Her Sleeping Grandmother’s Cottage chose their poison and headed for the Green-White Water. -It is important to stop here for you to learn a bit about Emma herself. Emma seemed like a very sweet girl who loved her silly, stuffed raccoon. To the outside world, this is who she was. But she was left at her grandmother’s cottage by her parents because this was not who Emma really was. -The evening before Emma left her grandmother’s cottage, she was sure to pour a sleeping draft into her grandmother’s milk to make her grandmother’s deep sleep and snore alarm. Her grandmother would be sleeping for days, so Emma had plenty of time to do as she pleased. -And secondly, Emma’s parents and neighbors wouldn’t suspect a thing. Emma sent notes, written in her grandmother’s hand as the clever opening to her clever spell. The notes announced to the neighbors and Emma’s parents a trip the two of them were taking to visit a distant acquaintance, for a week or so. The neighbors and Emma’s parents were instructed not to worry, as Emma and her grandmother would inform them of their return immediately upon their arrival back at her grandmother’s cottage. This also bought Emma more time for more adventuring, if she so pleased. -It is odd that I begin with Monte the Camel. He is just a planter, the type that was popular many years ago in the late 1950s and 60s. There is no hole for water drainage. Yet my mom, and later I, tried time and time again to grow plants in him. They always died because of either too much water or not enough. -The remarkable thing about Monte is the memories he sparks of my mom. She had a great sense of humor, something most people just passed by until my husband, Leroy, discovered it and encouraged many years later. -I can’t remember why my mom named this planter Monte. But I know she had a story that would have been a bit risqué and only she would keep the secret. The rest of us would go on asking ourselves why would Annette name a planter? But I think she named many things. -The one name of an object I do remember is Doobee Faret. It was a bee of some kind. It’s not important that I remember the object itself. What is important is that I do remember her asking me if I wanted to know what the name meant. She had a mischievous grin on her face. I knew it would be good. -My grandfather was a bee hobbyist. My mom or dad drove him miles every spring through early fall almost everyday of the week from Globeville to a farm in Arvada. Here a generous farmer, Mr. Granjeans, (No, not Greenjeans of Captian Kangeroo fame.) had given him a spot on his farm for my gandfather’s twenty or so beehives. My mom or dad made the trip twice a day from Denver to Arvada to drop him off early in the morning before my dad opened his T.V. repair shop and pick him up in the evening after the shop closed. -They also made the yearly trip to Union Station to pick up Grandpa’s queen bee and her court for the season. I remember riding in the back seat of the ’55 Chevy Nomad, hoping and praying that the bees wouldn’t get out of their box. The buzzing was so loud I thought they would certainly sting us to death if they did. -So bees and beekeeping were a part of our life and I wanted to know about Doobee Faret. This was long before the Doobie Brothers ever thought about forming a band. She made me promise not to tell anyone, especially my dad. I took the oath. -Taking me aside and whispering ever so softly, mom explained to me that with all the bee frenzy in our house, she always wondered if bees farted. There was a long pause with her smiling broadly. I just stared at her. She then repeated, “Do bees fart?” Finally, with disappointment spreading across her face, she stated “Doo…bees…fart?” “Doobee Faret?” She had to conceal the “fart” inside the “Faret” so she could say it in company. I laughed. She giggled. And we promised never to say a word. -So in tribute to my mom’s sense of humor, Monte serves as the mascot and the beginning of my book of memories. -The idea for the book stems from the many “Clean Out Your Lives” shows I have been watching on cable. I really yearn for more open space, everywhere. I understand that it is the memory that the object holds, and not the object itself. But it is hard to let go of things that have been touched and loved by loved ones. -Keep the mantra going: It is the memory that the object holds, and not the object itself. -I also like the revelation that these memories sitting on a shelf hidden by other memories or packed away in boxes not to be looked at for years and years, does not honor the objects or their memory. -Keeping the objects just results in clutter and more work in their upkeep. -We recently moved from 850 square feet into 2700. Granted, some of the stuff in our house is my father’s. Many things are those my mom packed away herself and hadn’t opened since we moved from Globeville to Wheat Ridge in l974. And even more of these boxes held wedding presents from 1950 that she never used. -So the 2700 square foot house is now full. I need to let go of stuff. And I begin here. Monte and My Marvelous Compendium of Enduring Memories. -I will take photos and write a quick, or not so quick, note about it and put it in a lovely little journal I purchased for this reason. Then the items will be taken to Good Will. -Of course, I will keep a few objects that are definitive. I believe this process will help me find them. For example, of the ten or so objects I have chosen to go first in the process, it surprises me that Monte the Camel planter is the one I had the most second thoughts about getting rid of. More than my baptism hat, or first pair of red sneakers, or the lone surviving horse from Stock show souvenirs. -This process must not be burdensome, so that I keep up. I hope it will teach me that one step at a time, or object, will make a big difference in the end. It will also keep me writing! -Note to myself: It is the memory that the object holds, and not the object itself. -It feels right and I am smiling. -Yelling into the bullhorn, I thought what I was saying was something encouraging, soothing. Possibly, even profound. It wasn’t. It was a scream at the top of my lungs letting loose a string of profanities that would make a mob boss cry. -I always wanted to be an admired leader, just like my dad. At one time he was a mayor of a small town in Iowa. He brought in the quarter-finals of the International Hot Dog Eating Competition and, with it, enough income to keep the town in the black until the County Fair. Inspired by his financial gamesmanship, high school graduates flooded the local community college to study neoclassical price theory, economic liberalism, and the free market. I wanted to inspire kids to reach for the stars, too. -How the hell was that ever going to happen with my vocabulary, regardless of my dreams? -My dad was widowed in a freak accident with a chocolate cake when I, his only daughter, had just turned one. So, I was raised by my grandma. Grammy looked like everyone else’s grandma except for the shock of red hair that changed shades on a monthly basis. She colored it to match her mood. If violet-red was the color of the choice, we knew it would be a gentler time and her words not so sharp. But if crimsons and oranges raged through Grammy’s locks and gold streaked to the tips of her split ends, we knew we were in for a bumpy ride with her lamentations. -It was storied to be a month of flame reds glowering from Grammy’s hairdo when the cake incident happened. It was my dad’s birthday and Mom was hiding the cake on top of the fridge when she slammed the freezer side-door. It actually wasn’t the cake that killed her, though. The cake slid off and planted itself on the floor upside down. Mom stood stunned for several seconds. She had labored long and hard to get that cake done. She wanted it to be just like the cake Dad remembered from his childhood. But she wasn’t a baker. She struggled for days to make the special cake using the beloved recipe. Grammy refused to share the recipe with Mom until the first grandchild was one year of age. Grammy felt that one year of life would cement the fact that the new generation was there to carry on. Grammy lectured Mom time and time again about how the cake recipe had been in the family for “generations upon generations.” Grammy insisted it was the same recipe used by our humble relatives and served to Marie Antoinette. Secretly mom wished she could someday visit the scullery in the Palace of Versailles to be inspired by the kitchens that produced this family heirloom. What Mom didn’t realize was that while she appreciated that Grammy could swear like a sailor, the benefactor of the honored recipe could lie like a rug, too. -Despite the tension caused from the ownership of the recipe, Mom and Grammy supposedly got along famously. One of the amusements they had in common was appreciating pulling off a real good practical joke. They were Mom’s specialty and Grammy embraced the challenge of not letting her succeed. It took mom two attempts at baking the cake with the so-called original recipe, before she connected Grammy’s regular visit each afternoon and the smirk plastered across Grammy’s face with the botched cakes coming out of the oven. The first time Mom tried baking the chocolate cake, it turned out more like pudding. Grammy simply grinned and offered to tweak to the recipe. Later that evening as Grammy was leaving for bingo, her purse felt a bit heavy. Opening the clasp, Grammy witnessed her lipstick tube, a piece of Wrigley’s Spearmint gum and her grocery list submerged in brown, sticky goo. -Mom’s second cake attempt was so dry and hard that she simply threw it away. Mom stormed out of the kitchen refusing to acknowledge Grammy’s Cheshire grin wrapping around her face. Grammy dug the cake out of the garbage can, wrapped it in tin foil, and used it as a doorstop until the day she died. -Again Grammy offered to adjust the recipe. But mom decided to take the bull by the horns and complete the cake without Grammy’s assistance. Mom finally succeeded in her quest by contacting the Women’s Social Group. The church ladies descended like chickens to their feed. They had a mission. They quickly and, rather proudly, deciphered Grammy’s scratchings, re-adjusted the hallowed recipe for the high altitude of Leadville, the Two Mile High City of the West, and produced a most perfect cake. -That was all Mom needed to hear. She began to chase Grammy round and round the tiny kitchen. Each time they passed the cake, they got closer and closer. Just as Grammy skirted by the ragged edge of the broken cake plate, she took a sudden turn out the backdoor. -The neighbors still reminisce about the foot race. Grammy running down the street giving her best dissertation while my mother followed close behind waving her arms gloriously in the air and adding to the din. Although Mom couldn’t begin to touch Grammy’s dubious parlance, she had been in training with Grammy before she married Dad. Apparently, the Iowa town where Dad was mayor could ignore Grammy’s outbursts. But adding Mom into the discourse would not be tolerated. So after the wedding, Dad found a new town high up in the Rocky Mountains and a job running the local bookstore. He said he chose Leadville so Grammy’s words had less traveling time to reach the atmosphere before being sucked forever into outer space. -Anyway, Grammy just kept running with Mom matching her pace in stride, as well as words. By the time Grammy and Mom reached the town’s edge, there was hardly room on the sidewalks for sightseers and the cheering almost overrode the battle cries of my matriarchs. Once Grammy and Mom faded into the distance up the mountainside, everyone had placed their bets on the champion of their choice. The bets would be settled once the victor descended back down the mountainside. -Grammy and Mom continued running along the hiking trail turning the crisp air blue with their words. As Grammy came to the boarded-up mine entrance she took a turn away from their normally agreed upon stopping place. It was here under the pines they would usually end their charades. Their deceptions were always planned in advance. On the agreed upon day, Grammy would take her regular morning stroll to the mine entrance with a not so regular purpose. With the promise of a late afternoon swig, Grammy would hide the Shanahan’s bottle with a couple of glasses, one for each of them. Both enjoyed whiskey and a local distiller was their favorite. It wasn’t until Grammy died a few years ago that Mr. Shanahan himself came by the house with Grammy’s inveterate tab, smiled at dad, and tore it up. Mr. Shanahan assured Dad that he delighted in his bi-monthly shot, chat, and cigar with Grammy and that he would never accept a cent from dad to pay Grammy’s bill. -But the day of the chocolate cake incident, Grammy didn’t stop for their appointed toast at the predestined spot. Mom followed Grammy through the pine forest, this time without a path. Grammy kept stringing her words together, then stopped. Mom’s retorts had ended a second before. It was silent, no padding of feet. Nothing but the wind scratching the tips of the pines. Grammy turned. Mom was gone. Grammy traced her steps backward. She knew this area like the back of her hand. Grammy had taken the right side of the large pine, while Mom ran around the left. But on the left was an old mine shaft that had probably been recently uncovered by curious tourists, leaving a hole descending into darkness miles deep into the mountain. -Grammy didn’t linger. She high-tailed it back to town, cursing all the way. As Grammy descended, the townspeople began to settle their bets. That day, however, they sensed a different tone upon hearing Grammy’s usual anathema. -They searched for days for my mom. They sent down expert rescuers and Grammy understood the importance of rooting for them at the edge of the shaft the whole time. They never found her. Not a trace. It was as if she disappeared off the face of the earth. There is a river that runs deep beneath the surface of the Leadville mountain and it was determined that Mom must have been swept away. -I set the bullhorn down. I knew there wouldn’t be another talk by the superiors of our town’s summer camp warning me that I had one more chance if I could just control my language. Earlier conversations had strongly suggested that if I wanted to rise to Camp Counselor of the five-year-olds and, one day, to Camp Director, I would have to learn some self-control. It just wasn’t going to happen. I wanted to make my Dad as proud of me as I am of him. But I had spent the first eighteen years of my life under the tutelage of my Grammy. -I turned from the wide-eyed stares and dropped jaws of the Bunny Hoppers and headed towards the bus stop. I didn’t need my stuff. I was on a new mission. -Walking down the gravel path I reached into the pocket of my shorts. I pulled out the tattered, yellowing piece of paper titled “Chocolate Cake” that was left to me in Grammy’s will. I read the final line of the recipe one more time. Across the bottom in bright red felt tip pen Grammy had scratched: Your mom always wanted to live in Paris. -Well, I guess it was time for a blanking trip to Paris. -This piece was one of several written during my time with the Denver Writing Project. It is a piece of silliness. I wanted it to be much darker and funnier. I don’t know how to do that. Yet. I will learn. But for now, I hope you enjoyed this little bit of fiction and had a little chuckle. -Langston Hughes is one of my favorite poets. He can sing the blues without using a single note. His words sway across the page like the music itself. -Today’s poem escorts the melancholy of the blues onto the page. -When I read this poem, I feel like I am sitting at a table in the bar listening to this man’s lament. I feel the beat and smell the smoke. There are little or no words spoken between those left at the tables. It’s too late for that. The night is slipping into the early morning and regrets fill the air. -I wonder, did the music give definition to the word – blue? How could a color so calm as the morning sky or vibrant as the rolling sea give birth to such heartbreak? -The deep navy that streaks across our flag is a noble blue. How much sadness, as well as joy and triumph, are held within those borders? -Today I came across a remarkable young poet, J. Michael Martinez. I must give gratitude to Poets.org for the introduction. -This is the type of poem that puts many people off and takes them away from even trying to understand the poet’s words. I ask you not to be swayed and quickly go away. -The wonderful thing about poetry is that it should be read aloud. If you click on the link below, you can hear the poet read this poem. When I am unsure about what a poem means, I read it aloud, several times. If that doesn’t work, I look for a recording of the poet, so I can hear his phrasing and stops and how he feels his own words. -Then it is up to me. I must make it live in my own life. That is the beauty of good poetry. It will mean something different to each person who reads it. We always bring our experiences to the table when reading other’s words. Our understanding and comprehension turns on who we are. That is how poetry speaks to us. -Let this poem have a chance to speak to you. Allow Mr. Martinez to read to you and enjoy. -How do you see white? How does it live and breathe in your life? What do those white stripes on our flag say to you this holiday time? -Thought I would share, over the next few days, some of my favorite poems inspired by my work at the Denver Writing Project. -My choice for today is by Williams Carlos Williams. -And so begins a poem I love for its simplicity and elegance. William Carlos Williams is a master of precision and beauty. It’s easy to throw a lot of descriptive words onto a page. What Williams does, is what the master gardener does. -The master gardener is a creator with an eye to the minute, as well as to extravagance. While the entire garden tells a story, it is in honing in on the exquisiteness of the diminutive vignette that completes its own narrative. -In that breath, I invite you to imagine a clear blue sky when reading this poem. Even better, find a friend and take turns reading it to one another while the listener’s eyes are closed. It’s a perfect compliment to this holiday weekend. -Our adventure will not be more than 2-4ish miles in to camp then back out. Not a strenuous pace at all. More specifics will be included in the emails I send out upon registration. -Astrology if there is interest! -For the sake of leaving no trace as best as we can, and also just for simplicity’s sake, I will be accepting a minimal amount of people for this weekend adventure (possibly only 4-6 individuals). If you cannot make the May event, there will be another in October! -*****I will also be offering a Blue Heron Adventure Club pass this year! There will be several levels of membership, all including monthly adventures of varying sorts to various locations, some with other benefits too! -Brief Astrological Report: The moon will be in Scorpio during this weekend, making for some deep, intriguing energy. Pushing us conveniently closer to the transcendent properties of nature that we will be seeking to learn from and engage with during our discussions! -I try to keep costs low, not because I feel the experience isn’t worth a greater amount, but rather because I want people of various income levels to be able to experience such an opportunity too. I also know how us nature-loving types tend to be. Nature being generally more important than the almighty dollar— and rightfully so! -So for this overnight I’m offering everything on a sliding scale. -$30-50, and no the $30 is not frowned upon.

"At Ford, 150 years later, we are excited to continue advancing this type of thinking." -But critics says the cost of installing the technology will be burdensome for cash-strapped governments. Corinne Kisner, deputy director of the National Association of City Transportation Officials, called the expense of installing and maintaining vehicle-to-everything technology a major concern. Many municipalities struggle to fill their potholes, let alone install smart city technology. She also described any effort to require a pedestrian to carry a smartphone to guarantee safety as a dangerous paradigm shift. -"It's an unreasonable burden to ask or require people walking in their streets and cities and in front of their homes to carry a signal transmitting device," Kisner said. "The burden needs to be on the driver of the two-ton vehicle, whether it's a human or autonomous technology." -Ford sees things differently. Butler described to CNN Business the example of a pedestrian walking on a dirt road who might be identified by a car with C-V2X because they were carrying a smartphone. Traditionally, a driver would rely on their headlights to see the pedestrian. But Butler stops short of expecting smartphones to be recommended or required for pedestrians. -"It's like the question of will people be permitted to drive once autonomous vehicles become prevalent," Butler said. "That's something we can only speculate about." -Ford isn't the first company to explore outfitting pedestrians with sensors. Siemens, the German conglomerate, began a US Department of Transportation pilot test in Tampa, Florida, last year using pedestrians' smartphones to communicate their location to vehicles. But Siemens officials found the smartphone location data to be so inaccurate that it wasn't useful. -The pilot was reworked to focus on outfitting 1,000 vehicles with sensors, and notifying drivers of nearby vehicles with audio alerts, according to Dave Miller, the head of connected vehicles at Siemens. -Bicycling advocates also argued it was unrealistic to require someone to carry a phone on roads. -"We think the way things are headed, what we need is more smart sensors [built] in the roadway, or infrastructure," Miller told CNN Business. -This is something Ford wants, too. It sees the coming arrival of 5G networks -- the next-generation of internet speed -- as a chance to install vehicle-to-everything technology throughout cities. -"We think there's an opportunity for a win-win that helps offset to a significant degree the cost a city might have to otherwise undertake to deploy this infrastructure," Butler said. -Ford is urging other automakers to install C-V2X in their vehicles. -But there's a long road ahead for Ford to make C-V2X as widespread as the traffic light, which took decades to be popularized. -Wright countertops new bern nc about us is one of our best images of wright countertops new bern nc and its resolution is 600x300 pixels.

They will be guided through the whole process, from specification of functionality to the certification of the product. -Examination and validation of the information provided by the manufacturer. -Design, creation and configuration of the test sequences. -Implementation of the test sequences to the product. -Any other extra expense imputable to the client (additional shipping costs, daily allowances, etc.) will be estimated and agreed upon with the client, who will bear these costs. -Also, delays in the test procedures attributable to the client (due to errors in the documentation, faulty sample product, etc.) will be deemed working hours according to the accepted cost estimate. -On the other side, delays attributable to Futurasmus KNX Lab for technical or human errors caused by its personnel or equipment will be neither accounted for nor billed. -Client might either contact Futurasmus KNX Lab directly to ask for information about all the requirements to launch the KNX test procedure or directly download a customer registration form and a request for quotation form from the web. -Those sheets, together with the necessary documentation (handbook of the application program, application program, technical sheets, PIXIT, etc., as well as a product sample, if required) shall be sent back to Futurasmus KNX Lab. -After examination of the information received, Futurasmus KNX Lab will study and evaluate both the project’s viability and the number of hours estimated to execute the test. -If the client agrees with the terms as in the quotation and the conditions of the contract, will sign and submit both documents back to Futurasmus KNX Lab. -The Test Department in Futurasmus KNX Lab studies the device thoroughly, plans and designs the tests to be done, configures the ETS and EITT necessary and these are executed. -If that error can be remedied, the project can be interrupted and will only proceed as soon as the fault has been removed. -If that error meant drastic changes in the planed or executed test, the procedure will be deemed finalized (and the corresponding invoice will be issued). After amending the error, the procedure will have to start again as a new project. -The client discontinues the procedure for causes that can not be attributed to Futurasmus KNX Lab. -All hours worked up to that moment will be billed. -The final report is composed with one of the following results: “COMPLY” o “NOT COMPLY”. -This report is simultaneously sent both to the client and to the KNX Association, as the only organism qualified to eventually certify the product. -The report also includes extensive information on the parametrization of the product and the trace of sequences as executed in each test. -In case the final report had a negative outcome, the client has the possibility to call for a review, which he/she will have to do in written. The claim may include the possibility to be present during the test. -Futurasmus KNX Lab commits to review the test and submit in-detail explanation on the non-conformity ground (if confirmed) or to modify the result (if an error in the tests can be verified). If the client was right, the hours worked to execute the review will not be billed. If otherwise, the corresponding invoice will be issued. -The invoice must be paid within 30 days. -Once all tests are finished, the product will be shipped back to the client. The cost of returning the devices and other materials provided for the test will be borne by the client. -If the final report has a positive outcome, the client is now entitled to address the KNX Association and require the “certification” of their previously “registered” product. -Tomlith General Purpose Greases are comprised of three different grades in both NLGI 1 and NLGI 2 thicknesses.

One of these is The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 which opens on June 12. It's about guys who hijack New York subway train Pelham 123, hold people hostage, demand money, and escape - but how?. One regular transit dispatcher guy ends up involved. The movie stars famous people (Denzel Washington and John Travolta) and the trailers make it look really exciting and action-y. I'd sort of thought of trying to see it when it comes out, if it got good reviews. -And this is a good heist movie - actually, it's a good movie, period. It's suspenseful and engrossing, with some comic moments thrown to ease the tension. It was interesting to see how the hijackers used their knowledge of the New York subway system and its trains to pull off the job. If you're going to do any kind of heist, it's important to know just how everything works, yes? -The main question throughout is how the hijackers are going to escape and get away with the job. I'm not going to tell you whether they succeed or how it ends - even though the movie has been remade, I don't know whether they'll use the exact same story. They've already changed the title (words representing numbers are so old-fashioned; why not just the numbers instead?) and I hope that they don't change the actual story too much. Being the age that it is, I expect that they'll not only modernize the story to reflect the updated technology, but also add some new twists and turns and stunts. Maybe even an explosion or two. -As long the remake stays a heist movie, it'll probably be ok. -I agree it will be interesting to see the remake. I enjoyed Robert Shaw. He does such a great villain. Did you notice the young Doris Roberts as thle mayor's wife. A real classic. -Chagford Singers Chamber choir of about 45 voices performing choral music from the fourteenth to the twenty-first centuries.

Unlike American culture, where often people fear death, Mexicans honor it, especially on this occasion, washing the bones of their ancestors, cleaning headstones in cemeteries and celebrating it in a fiesta of life. Posada called this “Poking fun at life and death,” since he believed death was just as important as life and should be embraced. Reib’s students created watercolor paintings of skulls to represent this concept. Their pictures were inspired by skull molds, which are used as decorations for the Day of the Dead. Eileen Reib showed pictures of these skull molds to the students to inspire this artwork. Skull molds are traditionally made by combining sugar and water to make a wet sand mixture, which is then pushed into the skull mold. After making the molds, students decorated them with icing, sequins, feathers and glitter. -Reib’s students also created Retablos, which are traditionally used as hand-held religious altars. As a final way of depicting how Posada pokes fun at life and death, students created skeletons (calacas) performing everyday activities. -Located in Chemung County, Community Arts of Elmira partnered with The Arts Council of the Southern Finger Lakes (The ARTS) with the National Youth Art Month exhibit. The Arts Council serves and advocates for four New York counties (Schuyler, Steuben, Chemung and Tioga), and this is the eleventh annual year The Arts Council has administered National Youth Art Month across the four counties, installing student artwork in over fifty community venues for display throughout the month of March. Exhibiting venues include local grocery stores, cafés, restaurants and other nontraditional places community members wouldn’t expect to see artwork, as well as arts and cultural partners, such as Community Arts of Elmira. We thank Tamar Samuel-Siegel, The ARTS Programs and Outreach Manager, for her installation work on this exhibition. -In complement to the elementary student work in National Youth Art Month, The Arts: At First Sight illuminates the Community Room Gallery with Finn Academy Charter School second grade scholars’ artwork. The exhibition is based on extensive research on the snowy owl and its migration patterns. Arts Educator Brandi Moffe instructed students to draw a snowy owl, and during the process of revision, students improved the rendering of feathers and eyes, and incorporated shading and reflections into their drawings. In their showcase of artistic expression, Finn Kindergarten scholars created red poppies in chalk pastel to honor American veterans, creating and practicing with color palettes until each selected just the right hues for shading their poppies. Prior to their installation at Community Arts of Elmira, Educator Moffe exhibited them at Finn and invited local veterans to view the students’ work. -In a third process project display, Moffe presents Finn Academy’s second grade scholars’ color wheel studies. By mixing food coloring and shaving cream, students observed an array of colors meld together, learning how colors combine to create new shades. Following this exercise, students participated in an “I notice, I wonder” activity, where they shared what each witnessed about the changing colors. -To complete the exhibition, Moffe showcased digitized images of Finn scholars engaging in music and dance studies. Students learned movements that emphasize physical activity. These images depict students experimenting with such moves. Moffe, Dance Educator Jaymie Snoddy and Music Educator Danielle Murray share a similar educational philosophy. Murray explained, “Music is a foundation of the culture of Finn Academy.” Together the educators work with the scholars to illustrate that physical activity, music and visual art exist within and beyond Finn, in their everyday lives. For example, each Friday afternoon Finn Academy hosts a “Community Circle” where all visitors are welcome, and audiences are immersed in music played by student scholar musicians. -Storybook Floor Cloths filled the Pryzgoda Gallery highlighting artistic collaboration by students from Beecher, Diven, Fassett and Hendy, led by School District Art Educator-in-Residence JoAnn Smith, a retired art educator who is still active among local student art projects. Smith explained that all the ideas on the floor cloths originated from the students’ core curriculum, from the second graders who focused on Tall Tales or Fairy Tales, such as Paul Bunyan and John Henry, to the sixth graders whose floor cloths rendered stories from Greek mythology. Joanne used graphing paper to translate the sketch onto the cloth, and then, using painter’s tape in order for colors to stay in between the lines, the students each got a chance to color their grade’s cloth. Students completed one of the cloths in only three weeks! Once painted, students sealed Greek Mythology with Marine Sealer, so it is “walkable.” The remaining cloths are meant for display, because they are not sealed. Finally, a marvelous anecdote about this project is that students who painted cloths as second graders in 2011 worked with JoAnn again as sixth graders! -A special feature of the evening’s reception underscored the continuous study of art for the elementary student: The Elmira College Student Artist Pop-up Gallery Inspiring Artists. Curator Gabrielle Higgins, Community Arts Elmira College Community Service Student, developed the concept for the pop-up’s theme: aspiration. Exhibiting college students’ work inspired elementary students to continue their art study through college and beyond. Campbell Grade, the president of Elmira College Art Club, was among the college students whose artwork was displayed. Nick Vanderwood, a first-year student at Elmira College, was the musical talent for the evening, playing guitar and singing popular hip hop songs. The Inspiring Artists exhibit was a collaborative endeavor with Elmira College Arts Alive program, featuring students in demonstration of their creative life. Elmira College Media Artist Jan Kather is exceptional in her promotion of student art activities. We thank Jan and all members of the Elmira College Creative Arts faculty for their support of this community connection. -Last, but certainly not least, during the artist reception, Community Arts launched this very blog, ArtWays, whose concept and voice I hope to develop profiling the unique artistic, education, community art experiences in the area, connecting real and virtual audiences in support of the arts and arts education. -Currently featured in the Community Arts galleries are Thoughts and Image by Sharon DeHaas, The Przygoda Gallery and Students and Teachers, Selected Work, The Community Room Gallery, through May 21, 2016, Fridays/Saturdays 11am – 1pm, free and open to the public. -Sinus infection that’s also referred to as sinus problems is caused because of multiple reasons. It may be cold, allergic reactions, any microbial infection, or blocking from the nasal passages. Most typical signs and symptoms observed within the patient really are a stuffed nose with headache. However, the levels of infections can vary broadly and thus also their treatments. -Fast in addition to effective sinus treatment is going to be individuals that will instantly obvious the stuffed nose and provide respite from headache. Medically referred to as sinus problems, huge numbers of people around the world are afflicted by the syndrome yearly. Beginning with mild infections, the affects turn into severe with the passing of time. Issues with sinus affects are they not just cause stuffed nose and headache but various affiliated problems too. Hence sinus treatment is extremely important from initial stage. -Multiple over-the-counter sinus remedies are available. You can turn to a number of them or go to the regular physician or allergist for prevention and cure of sinus affects. -Normally the sinus infections come from the bacteria working inside the sinus tooth decay. Actually sinuses are individuals tooth decay in contiguous locations using the nasal openings which help both air in addition to mucous flow free without restriction also it provides the voice some kind of changes because of sinus affects. Reason is the fact that sounds emerge whenever a sinus is blocked and also the consequential swelling in addition to infection causes the environment that’s inside to pressurize the nerves developing a sinus headache for the individual. -In addition to the inflamed passages within the nose along with the sinuses, air also exist that can’t enter into the sinus and when again this turns into a reason behind the sinus pains. Sinus treatment methods are conducted using sinus spray that’s been prescribed at occasions or perhaps acquired over-the-counter. Sprays thus used kills the bacteria that leads to sinus infections curing the individual along the way. -Among various reasons for sinus problems, one will be the blocking of passages. Such blockage can produce a tumor within the nose which is needed to become removed surgically. At occasions utilization of over-the-counter nasal sprays may also result in infections that may become addictive in the finish from it. -£2,500,000 - Wow! that's some serious prize money!

Do you have some specific suggestions of what you'd like to see? -People have millions of coins and can not spend it on anything. -I actually have over 8,000,000 coins and expanded to the limit. -1.) More buildings, animals and plants ! -No, but really, a Red Panda would be amazing! -Interestingly enough, red pandas aren't pandas at all. -I for one love Pandas!!!!!! -Hahahahahahahahahaha... This made me burst out laughing!!!!!! -The problem of the game is that you earn coins for ... ehhh ... nothing, since after like one week no one needs coins anymore. -Let?s remember why we play the game ... because we like the cute animals. -So what I suggest is, that you implement something that allows you to spend coins to do some improvements on your animals. Means for example that you get a new button that allows you to TRAIN the animals. Means you spend some gold and the animal gets a "training bar". If you level the animal up, it learns a NEW MOVE, means instead of siting there and just blinking, it will do some animated maove from time to time. Like four levels of moves per animal I suggest. Level four should be insane expensive, but do something AWESOME, like the dragon flying around you zoo. -Another feature would be to change the color of the animals for some gold, by buying color berries. -With NEW MOVES and colored animals, it would be interesting again to check the zoo of an other player, since maybe he has something interesting happening in his zoo. -I like your ideas. I hope TL will comment on that and gives us some information about what will happen to the game. I think GroupMagma promised a bigger update for Zoo Story somewhere in this forum. -I think it shouldn't be a big deal just to add some more animals and buildings in the meantime. -So TeamLava, let's go !! -GM mentioned in a thread last week about a Zoo Story update: "probably not today but soon." This gives me hope that the update is almost ready and that we'll have it soon! -I hope TL waits for the wild stuff until I get to expand my zoo - don't have all those coins with nothing to do with them - am saving so I can expand- and get all the regular things. I love the suggestions made on the voting thread! -Please don't flip out with the updates.... Or is it only me that wants real animals in a realistic zoo?! No fairytale animals or dinosaurs... This is a zoo! -I do love all the updates in all games but doesn't understand why you add themes in the stories..? For ex; Farm Story... Here you add castles, nights... This is Farm Story!! Here you should add a Tractor, Stables, Harvester... Things for a realistic Farm!! FARM STORY!! -What I mean is... Don't destroy the Zoo Story updates when it finally arrives with fairytalethemes and goblets, dragons, animals that change colours... This is another Story, not Zoo Story! Sorry all of you that love this... Doesn't mean to affend you, just one who loves to build a realistic City, Zoo, Restaurant, Bakery, Farm and so on! -I also would like to have some more plants that look NICE. -It is SO TERRIBLE to be forced to have an uggly brown farm field next to my zoo. But to feed all my animals, I need that field. Have a look at my zoo here: organiceric (<-- my ID) ... nice zoo, but why is there a FARM next to it ??? -I mean ... if I want to play a farm, I play FARM story. -So please, please, please, please include some BUILDINGS, that produce food. Something like a "Logistics Center" where food is delivered to. I have never seen a zoo that has it?s own little farm attached to it. -You can orient yourself on the factories in city story. The same concept would do wonders for the zoo. -Sounds like New Jersey. We regularly get reports of escaped animals from our nature preservations! -Bazouti S, Omahsan L, Chahib H, Sakhsoukh R, Dikhaye S, Zizi N. Rosacea infant: not always a benign dermatosis. Our Dermatol Online. 2018;9(4):410-411. -Rosacea is a condition that is most often associated with adults; however, various forms exist in the pediatric population and must be taken into account when a child presents a rash to the face. We report a rare case of rosacea with severe ocular involvement in a 7-year-old child with discrete papules and pustules on both cheeks and chin with blepharitis and decreased visual acuity. The ophthalmologic examination confirmed a severe blepharitis with severe mibomitis associated with a stromal corneal ulcer. The diagnosis of rosacea with ocular involvement was made. Patient was put on oral azithromycin, topical metronidazole at the face and a photoprotection with good evolution. Early recognition and treatment of ocular rosacea in children can improve patient outcomes by limiting the progression of corneal pathology. -Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory facial dermatitis. It mainly affects persons of middle age and a clear phototype, and it is considered rare in children . Ocular involvement is the most serious complication requiring early diagnosis in order to preserve the visual function. We report a new case of ocular rosacea in a 7-year-old child. -A 7-year-old boy with a phototype III, and a family history of rosacea affecting his mother and maternal aunts, consulted the ophthalmic emergencies for a painful red right eye with significant photophobia. In the anamnesis, we find notion of flushes during temperature changes and repeated chalazion with a many similar episodes during the last two years wrongly treated as allergic conjunctivitis. Ophthalmological examination showed blepharitis with severe meibomitis associated with a stromal corneal ulcer (Fig. 1). A dermatological examination had objectified the presence of some erythematous papules, telangiectasias on a pink background of cheeks, chin and the palpébral edges (Fig. 2). The dermoscopic examination had shown the presence of arborizing vessels, sometimes polygonal, as well as pustules and erythematous background. The diagnosis of rosacea was retained and the patient was put on oral azitromycin, topical metronidazole in the face and photoprotection with a good evolution. -Figure 1: Clinical image showing a corneal ulcer. -Figure 2: Papulopustular lesions associated with telangiectasia. -Rosacea is a fairly common chronic facial dermatitis, whose infantile forms are rare and often underdiagnosed. The cutaneous manifestations described in children, generally inconspicuous, seem identical to those observed in adults [2–3], with the exception of hypertrophic rosacea never reported in this age group . Familial history of rosacea is often reported as in our case which could support the diagnosis. Ocular signs, however, are not specific and can reach all levels of severity ranging from simple photophobia to blepharitis-meibomitis to blindness through a keratoconjunctivitis complicated sometimes by corneal ulcers as was the case in our patient, imposing immediate care. There is no correlation between the severity of ocular rosacea and inflammatory cutaneous rosacea . Although rosacea in children especially before puberty, is uncommon, ocular symptoms are often present at diagnosis . -The local treatment is identical to that of adult rosacea . A systemic treatment is proposed in case of failure of topics or in case of severe ocular involvement. Systemic antibiotics, primarily the tetracyclines, are the drugs of choice for most individuals with rosacea. Tetracyclines should not be used in children younger than 8 years, because they can lead to discoloration of teeth and susceptibility to fracture by incorporation into bones and teeth. In this younger age group, macrolides are the preferred agents. Azithromycin can produce marked improvement, even when administered for only 5 days . -Infantile rosacea is a rare and potentially serious disease in its ocular form. Its presentation is not specific and can be confusing, especially in the absence of dermatological lesions. In front of a child with ocular signs suspicious of rosacea, the dermatological examination is an important step for making the diagnosis. Early management avoids serious complications such as keratitis and/or corneal ulcer. Only a multidisciplinary and effective management by dermatologist and ophthalmologist avoids the complications that can lead to blindness. -1. Kroshinsky & Glick. Pediatric rosacea.

Rather than doling out money for a huge meal and attempting to satisfy all your guests’ taste preferences, consider serving only an assortment of delicious after-dinner sweets. -By skipping straight to the best part of the meal, you actually expand your options. Since guests won’t be stuffed from a three-course dinner, they’ll have more room to satisfy their sweet tooth and try a variety of desserts. And since you won’t be paying the high cost of feeding your guests an entire meal, you have more of a budget to splurge on sweets. -Most dessert-only receptions provide guests with an array of artfully displayed, bite-sized confections. To ensure variety and creativity, consider flavor, texture, and size of your desserts. Including chocolate, fruit, nut, and vanilla options will cover all your flavor bases, while mixing up the textures to include crunchy, chewy, and creamy will surely give everyone something to enjoy. And in this case, smaller is better. You can easily serve bite-size portions, rather than large slices, of your favorite cakes, brownies, cookies and cheesecakes. Pie fillings can simply be baked in turnover form for easy eating. By creatively thinking about how to prepare your favorite sweets, you can bring nearly anything to the wedding dessert table. -Truffles, cookies, cannolis, macaroons, tarts, brownies, fudge, caramels, cheesecakes, turnovers, puddings, candies, doughnuts, shortbreads – nothing is off limits, as long as it’s sweet and delicious! -Choosing desserts in your color scheme adds even more fun to this sweet idea! -Use serving platters of different styles and materials for a vintage, eclectic look. -For inspiration on how to design and arrange the main course of your dessert-only reception, take a look at some of the beautiful dessert bars event planner Amy Atlas has put together. -Laura Keller is a 20-something living in Baltimore, MD.

It reminded me of an excellent paper I recently came across on the role of significance tests by Charles Lambdin (2012) who has resurrected the arguments against significance tests as our fundamental statistical method for hypothesis testing. He makes the case that these really represent modern magic, rather than empirical science, and I must admit to some extent I tend to agree, and wonder why we are still rely on the use of p-values today, with an almost blind acceptance of their rightful place in the scientific world. -The modern formulation and philosophy of hypothesis testing was developed by three men between 1915-1933; Ronald Fisher (1890-1962), Jerzey Neyman (1884 -1981) and Egon Pearson (1895-1980). Fisher developed the principles of statistical significance testing and p-values, whilst Neyman & Pearson took a slightly different view and formulated the method we use today where we compare two competing hypotheses: Ho and an alternative hypothesis (Ha), and also developed the notions of Type I and II errors. -As we all know from our undergraduate studies, with hypothesis testing using p-values two outcomes are possible for a statistical test result. Either the test statistic result is in the critical region, and the test result is declared as statistically significant at the α (5%) significance level. In this case two logical choices are possible for a researcher: they can reject the null hypothesis, or accept the possibility that a Type I error has occurred (≤ α). Secondly, the test statistic result is outside of the critical region (the shaded areas below). -Here the p-value is greater than the statistical significance level (α) and either there is not enough evidence to reject H0, or there is a Type II error. We should note this is not the same as finding evidence in favour of H0. A lack of evidence against a hypothesis is not evidence for It, which is another common scientific error (see below). Another problem with the H0 is that many researchers view accepting the H0 as a failure of the experiment. This view is unfortunately rather poor science, as accepting or rejecting any hypothesis is a positive result in that it contributes to the knowledge. Even if the H0 is not refuted we have learned something new, and the term ‘failure’, should only be applied to errors of experimental design, or incorrect initial assumptions. That said, the relative dearth of reports of negative outcome studies compared to positive ones in the scientific literature should give us some cause for question here. -The Neyman-Pearson approach has attained the status of orthodoxy in modern health science, but we should note that Fisher’s inductive inference and Neyman-Pearson’s deductive approach are actually philosophically opposed, and many researchers are unaware of the philosophical distinctions between them and misinterpret this in their reports. -Commonly researchers state H0 and Ha, the type I error rate (α) and the p-value is determined, and the power for the test statistic is computed, (Neyman–Pearson’s approach). But then the p-value is mistakenly presented as the Type I error rate and the probability that the null hypothesis is true (Fisher’s approach), rather than the correct interpretation that it represents probability that random sampling would lead to a difference between sample means as large, or larger than that observed if H0 were true (Neyman-Pearson’s approach). This seems a subtle difference but technically these are two very different things, and Fisher viewed his p-value as an objective measure of evidence against the null hypothesis, whilst Neyman & Pearson did not. They view that this (and particularly a single test in a single study) never “proves” anything. -As p-values represent conditional probabilities (conditional on the premise that the H0 is true) an example to help us understand this difference would be that the probability that a given nurse is female, Prob(female | Nurse), is around 80% the inverse probability, that a given female is a nurse; Prob(Nurse| female), is likely smaller than 5%. Arguments over this misinterpretation of p-values continues to lead to widespread disagreement on the interpretation of test results. -There is also some good evidence that because of the way p-values are calculated they actually exaggerate the evidence against the null hypothesis (Berger & Selke, 1987; Hubbard & Lindsay, 2008) and this represents one of the most significant (no pun intended – Ok well just a bit) criticisms of p-values as an overall measure of evidence. -if a result is important (or not). -The do give us some statistical evidence that the phenomenon we are examining likely exists but that is about it, and yet we should be very aware that the ubiquitous p-value does not provide an objective, or unambiguous measure of evidence in hypothesis testing. This is not a new argument and has been argued since the 1930’s with some researchers arguing that significance tests really represent modern sorcery rather than science (Bakan, 1966; Lambdin, 2012) and that their counter-intuitive nature frequently leads to confusion about the terminology. -Logically it has also been noted that p-values fail to meet the simple logical condition required by a measure of support, in that if hypothesis Ha implies hypothesis H0 as the converse we should expect at least as much support for H0 as there is for Ha (Hubbard & Lindsay, 2008; Schervish, 1996). -Our problem is we need practical methods that avoid us both dismissing meaningful results, and exaggerating evidence. Bayesian techniques have been a suggestion for the replacement significance texting and p-values, but have yet to take hold, probably because of the simplicity of implementing p-values and their widespread perceived objectivity (Thompson, 1998). Overall these concerns should emphasize the importance of repeated studies and consideration of findings in a larger context, and ultimately this leads us to a good argument of the value of meta-analysis. -But the question remains, why are we still relying on p-values when there are so many issues with them, and probably much better techniques? -Beat’s me and maybe the sooner we become Bayesian’s the better for science. -Bakan, D.

Nintendo of Am., Inc. -Nintendo designed a program, the 10NES, for its Nintendo Entertain System (NES) to prevent the NES from accepting unauthorized game cartridges. The 10NES was programmed onto chips located in the NES console and in each game cartridge. Thus, only 10NES-enabled cartridges could “unlock” access to the NES console. -After a failed attempt to replicate the 10NES program, Atari, in December 1987, licensed the technology from Nintendo under strict licensing terms. Nintendo themselves placed Atari’s games in 10NES-enabled cartridges, and limited Atari, as well as other licensees, to five new NES games per year. -In early 1988, Atari applied to the Copyright Office for a reproduction of the 10NES source code, which the Copyright Office provided to Atari based on a false allegation by Atari that Atari needed the copy for pending litigation. There in fact was no pending litigation. -Based on the acquired source code, Atari developed its own program, the Rabbit program, which generated signals indistinguishable from the 10NES program and gave Atari access to the NES without Nintendo’s license conditions. The line-by-line instructions of the programs vary because Atari used a different microprocessor and programming language. -Nintendo brought suit against Atari alleging copyright infringement (and patent infringement, among other allegations). Atari brought several claims against Nintendo and asserted a copyright misuse defense. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California granted Nintendo’s request for a preliminary injunction based on copyright infringement. Atari appealed. -The Federal Circuit observed that while it had jurisdiction based on patent infringement claims included in the action, the court applies the law of the regional circuits, the Ninth Circuit in this case, to resolve issues of copyright law. -The Federal Circuit stated that “[t]o prevail on its copyright infringement claim, Nintendo must show ownership of the 10NES program copyright and copying by Atari of protectable expression from the 10NES program.” Ownership of the 10NES program was not in dispute, and thus, Nintendo had to prove only the copying of protectable expression. -Next, the court held that “Nintendo is likely to show successfully that Atari infringed the 10NES copyright by obtaining and copying the source code from the Copyright Office.” Atari obtained a copy from the Copyright Office by providing false information about a pending litigation, therefore obtaining an unauthorized reproduction. Thus, Atari infringed Nintendo’s copyright based on the reproduction of an unauthorized copy from the Copyright Office. -The court then also held that “Nintendo is likely to prove substantial similarity between the Rabbit and 10NES programs sufficient to support its infringement claims.” The court primarily relied on the fact that Rabbit incorporated unnecessary features, including features that were deleted from the original 10NES program. Thus, the court concluded that “copying of fully extraneous instructions unnecessary to the 10NES program’s functionality” suggests copying, not independent creation. -Atari argued as a defense to copyright infringement that Nintendo misused its copyright. Because there was no statutory basis for the copyright misuse defense, the court determined that the defense was solely an equitable doctrine. Therefore, while copyright misuse may be a viable defense, any party seeking the defense must have clean hands. Atari was ineligible to invoke the defense because of its lie to the Copyright Office to obtain a copy of the 10NES program. -The court therefore held that the district court did not err by granting the preliminary injunction against Atari. -Sheboygan's Final Approach This is one of my favorite airport restaurants.

Now, after the damage has been done and continues to this day, most of the media are trying to make up for their failures.

Developmentally, the 10- to 12-year-olds who've read the book may find the movie's visceral, sometimes bloody teen-on-teen violence upsetting -- especially the brutal scene that opens the Games, in which several teens are slaughtered by their fellow contestants. Even young teens need to be mature enough to deal with the 20+ deaths in The Hunger Games; characters are viciously dispatched with various weapons -- including spears, arrows, and swords -- as well as by having their necks broken, their skulls cracked, and their bodies ravaged by carnivorous and poisonous creatures. Despite the violence (which is, overall, less graphic than the novel's descriptions but is still very intense), the movie explores thought-provoking themes about reality television, totalitarian government, and screen violence as entertainment. And Katniss, the main character, is a strong heroine who's resourceful, selfless, and a true survivor. Her mentor, Haymitch, is initially depicted as a cynical drunk, but he ultimately proves to be a valuable ally. -Peeta reveals that he's had a crush on Katniss since they were kids, and the two kiss a couple of times, one time pretty passionately. -As in the book, The Hunger Games' central "pageant" is a televised battle to the death: 24 children between the ages of 12 and 18 (12 girls, 12 boys) are selected to participate in a bloody reality show-style contest in which there's only one victor. There's a pervasive sense of peril and tension, and once the Games start, there's an immediate bloodbath, with vicious weapon use, a fair amount of blood, and several dead bodies -- though the quick editing means that the most gruesome bits aren't lingered on. The young combatants proceed to die from spears, arrows, knives, deadly insect bites, attack by genetically modified dog-like creatures, and poisonous berries (some deaths occur off camera). A couple of the tributes also have their necks snapped or heads bashed. The Gamemakers purposely devise situations to try and kill off characters, including a scary fire with fireball projectiles; another scene has a large explosion. Katniss is badly burned; Peeta has a nasty knife injury. Earlier in the movie, there are scenes of characters practicing with weapons and demonstrating their deadly skills, as well as gory snippets of footage from earlier Games. Scenes of a riot and subsequent retaliation by government forces. -Very infrequent use of words like "damn," "hell," and "oh my God" (as an exclamation). -Thought-provoking, complex messages. Teamwork and loyalty are valued, but deception and artifice are also rewarded. The will to survive, the fragile relationship between a dictatorial government and its oppressed people, rebellion as a preferred option to obedience, and the distinction between image and reality are all addressed. There are many discussion-worthy themes in the movie, and they touch on everything from the micro/personal to the macro/political. -No product placements in the film, but the viral marketing and merchandise tie-ins for the movie (and books) include a line of themed nail polish, as well as apparel, jewelry, games, and more. -Haymitch is often drunk; he has a drink in his hand for the first half of the movie -- though as he gains focus/motivation, he drinks less. Several dinner and party scenes show adults and teenagers drinking various brightly colored beverages/cocktails. -When the summer break began, Jinno Naoto and Manabe Rika confessed their thought they had since their childhood and began to go out with each other. Suddenly a boy named Asmodeus appeared. He said he was a devil, and he tried to take Rika away. Naoto did his best to save Rika from Asmodeus, but he couldn't anything to do with devil's power. At that very moment, a girl Luvriel, who name herself an angel, came and saved them. -They took Luvriel injured in the battle against the devil. There, Luvriel told them the surprising things; angles in Heaven and devils in Hell have been fighting for a long time, and the devil would attack them again. -Because Luvriel had lost her power during the fight, she asked Rika fight for her. -On the other hand, the devil had lost his power in the fight. Then, Otonashi Meimi, who was a classmate of Naoto, happened to come and see Naoto confess his love to Rika, and she became jealous. Taking advantage of her jealous, he haunted her. He made Meimi into an evil heroine, Misty, and made her attack Rika again. On the other hand, Luvriel turned Rika into Sei Tenshi Djibril and let her fight against them. -The Program Manager's Guide to Evaluation, Administration on Children, Youth, and Families, Department of Health and Human Services. -California State Library California Research Bureau, http://www.library.ca.gov/crb/CRBSearch.aspx.

The date when Shah Rukh Khan will be seen promoting Dilwale on Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 9! -The day we have all been waiting for is finally here guys! Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are all set to reunite on Bigg Boss 9 in a couple of weeks! Yes! While initially there were reports of SRK's willingness to promote Dilwale on Bigg Boss 9. It can now be confirmed that this blockbuster episode will be aired either on 5 – 6th December, or on the 13-14th December, ahead of Dilwale's release on the 18th! Now isn't that some big news? -Not to forget, Salman had already sent an open invite to SRK much before Bigg Boss 9 went air! He had even revealed this during a press con saying, "I would love to have him(SRK) on the show, but he knows I don't mean this. See, if he has the dates and he wants to come on the show then he is more than welcome. If he wants to come and spend some time with the contestants then he is more than welcome. So I would rather want to put it like this than say I would love to have him on the show. So if he is coming he should come, promote(Dilwale), have fun, go inside the house, chit-chat with the contestants, give them his life experiences because you know he has got a lot of experiences in life and then, that's it!" -Well, looks like everything has fallen in place now and Shah Rukh has managed to make time for his dear friend Salman! This reminds us how Salman too had made time for SRK during his 50th birthday this year! Remember their Sultan hug?

Without a dedicated, unique staff, we would not be able to fulfill our purpose of bringing top-quality programs and services to our region. -I am thankful for our many community partners. Without their support, many of the opportunities we offer students and educators in our region would cease to exist. Whether a business has supported a teacher in the Summer STEM Research Institute, hosted Career & Technical Education student interns, or served as a work-based learning site for our programs for students with special needs, these partnerships are vital to our success as an organization, and they embody the true meaning of collaboration, which at its core, is the essence of BOCES.

Give yourself a hug. -What a night of joy, love and inspiration. This past Thursday, I met author and motivational speaker, Marianne Williamson.? -Seventeen years ago, ?I purchased her book, A Return to Love, and since that time have read it at least five times. To this day, this book remains one of my personal favorites in my home library. Both the author, and her book have changed my life in a powerful way and have allowed me to share these experiences to help others find love in their lives. -Of course I was meant to meet Marianne Williamson. Why it took 17 years, I am not sure as we have mutual friends and business acquaintances in common. ?Perhaps I wasn’t ready yet, but when I received an invitation from my friend, Gina Ratliffe to meet Marianne, I jumped at the chance.? -Her teachings have had a profound affect on my life. After her powerful talk, I had the opportunity talk with her personally and thanked her. ?We embraced each other with a loving hug, and she listened as I told her just how much she has meant to me over the years. It was our moment together of authenticity and pure love. -The process from her book, teachings, and her interpretation of The Course in Miracles is simple. You get scared, you go into fear mode. To get out of fear mode, you return to love mode. The opposite of love isn’t hate?it’s fear. It’s simple, practical, ?spiritual, and we all need to be reminded of it on a regular basis. This goes for love relationships, work relationships, and friendships. -and practice these simple and powerful techniques. You’ll be surprised at the amount of joy you will receive in return. -Isn’t it time you followed your dreams and started getting paid for your expert advice?

The TIP outlines the 6-year program for funding the various transportation projects that are scheduled to receive federal or selected state funds within the Mesilla Valley MPO area. -The Open Call for Projects for the 2020 – 2025 TIP commenced on November 19, 2018 and concluded on February 22, 2019. The Mesilla Valley MPO Public Participation Plan requires that the MPO have a 30 day public comment period before the MPO Policy Committee considers the new TIP for adoption.

The man reaches out for his wife's hand -- she quickly pulls away, as the spot quickly cuts in scenes of the couple in a more happy, romantic moment. Meanwhile, it's all backed by a moving, folksy guitar track by Clem Snide's Eef Barzelay, who, oddly, happens to be playing right there on the farm. -. Published on October 24, 2018 . -Your biggest day requires your most beautiful complexion which is why pre-wedding skin preparation is the workout not to be missed. -The ring is perfect, your dress is perfection and the venue is breathtaking – you’ve organised everything just right, so what about your skin? It’s likely you’ve already booked a photographer and hair & makeup artist but have you spoken to your Skin Technician? On your big day we know you’ll glow from the inside out but a radiant complexion is that special icing on your wedding day look. -We chat with Ultraceuticals Global Education Ambassador, Tracey Beeby on how to get started. -I want perfect skin on my wedding day, how far in advance do I need to begin a skin regimen? -Begin treating your skin as early as possible as this will allow you to relax with a maintenance program prior to the big day. I’d recommend at least six months as the minimum that a skin regimen should begin however if there are specific concerns you’d like to focus on – such as blemishes or pigmentation – these should begin at least a year before. -I have a lot to plan! Where is the best place to start when it comes to wedding day skin? -As with all skin treatments, the best way to begin is with a thorough skin assessment. This will allow you to discuss your needs with a Skin Technician and together work to a plan that not only suits you financially, but importantly will deliver results in the required time frame. And make sure you also consider the skin on your body – I’d suggest the regular use of a cosmeceutical body cream and sunscreen. -Planning a wedding is stressful. Do you have any tips for last minute breakouts? -Aside from a regular skincare routine, a good diet and regular exercise is vital. However, with all that planning stress, breakouts are inevitable! Have a spot treatment on hand such as the Ultraceuticals Ultra Clear Spot Treatment this can be used up to three times daily and will assist to clear the spot as quickly as it arrived. And remember, never try new products or treatments within the final four weeks of the wedding just in case a negative skin response may occur. -Start with a thorough skin health check to ensure a good home care program is integrated with personalised cosmetic clinic treatments. Homecare should include the basics: cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen and environmental protection with treatment serums then added to target specific concerns. Clinic treatments should be performed fortnightly or monthly depending on the results required. -No intense treatments should be performed within one month of the big day and so this is the ideal time for monthly or fortnightly skin peels and maintenance treatments. Sunscreen must be worn daily on the body as well as the face to prevent tan lines developing that may work against your dress design. -As peels are not recommended during this time focus on maintenance treatments including LED light therapy to enhance the skin’s glow before the big day and spa body services for relaxation. -Diligence and routine with homecare is vital to prevent any potential breakouts on the day. If masks and a physical exfoliant are part of your original homecare program, these may be used at home one week out. -Your commitment to skin health has served you well. Stick to your routine, prep with UV protection for your outdoor photo moments, and stay hydrated with regular spritz of a skin mist. Then just relax, go forth and glow! -To start your journey to your best possible skin and discuss how to create a skincare regimen for glowing wedding day skin, visit your local Ultraceuticals expert clinic for a consultation with one of our qualified Skin Technicians. -Usually tropical drinks pop up when the heat of the summer has us melting quicker than a popsicle. Today’s tiki drink has some heat to it so it will keep you warm while the last of the winter chill still lingers. This weekend is calling for a round of these Jalapeño Pina Coladas, don’t you think! -Jalapeños can cause a burning mouth of fire. Adding sweet, fresh pineapple juice and cool, creamy coconut tempers that heat. It’s smooth and sipable with tinges of spiciness that work in harmony, leaving a linger heat in your mouth that has you coming back for more of this tropical drink! -Be sure to use coconut creme and not milk. It’s thicker and creamier and will help balance the heat from the jalapeño. Trader Joe’s has cans of coconut creme as do most grocery stores. Be sure not to use the saccharine bottled versions, they are like a coconut creme syrup and will make the drink too sweet. -Juice pineapple Slice jalapeño and remove seeds. Place in a shaker. Muddle well. Add the rest of the ingredients into the shaker. Shake vigorously with ice. Strain into a tall glass with pebble or crushed ice. Garnish with pineapple and jalapeno slice. -Wow, this sounds so delicious! -Thanks, Hannah! It really is! -I’ll never get tired of mixing spicy with rum, pineapple, and coconut!! :-)))) And you HAVE to tell me you’ve tried St. George’s jalapeño vodka. I just did, and it blew me away. If I can’t find any fresh peppers, that would make a divine substitution. PS – I’m in love with these cocktail glasses! XO! -Their green chili vodka is aaamazing, one of the few flavored vodkas that I utilize! -Arn’t they darling? Found them at a local vintage store! -Let me take you back to 2005 and the first time I visited the remote village of Gitigarawa on the Plateau in South Kivu, eastern DR Congo. I had travelled there to assess the needs and priorities of children and communities from this war-affected, forgotten region, and to make recommendations to Children in Crisis’ Board of Trustees as to whether we should begin a new programme in this region. -The winding journey up the mountain to Gitigarawa was tense, with frequent road blocks manned by heavily armed soldiers. At every road block, people were being manhandled; their agricultural produce taken from them as a form of ‘tax’ by the local soldiers. In the eyes of the women, I could see how ground-down they were – powerless in the face of men with guns. -At Gitigarawa itself, nestled on the mountainside, the first community meeting we held was packed. It was at this meeting, attended solely by men, that I got my first insight into the spirit of a local population determined to plan for a better tomorrow. With a tentative national peace declared some two years earlier, but with militia still active across the Plateau, returning populations were sick of conflict and desperate for a return to normality. Children’s education was a named priority in meeting after meeting. I also got an insight into some of the societal dysfunctions that existed, namely the deep mistrust between tribes and the extreme marginalisation of women and girls. After some gentle cajoling, I did get to speak with women on this trip, and heard their powerful testimonies, their hopes for a better future, and a longed-for return to peace. -On my return to the UK it was agreed that a new programme was needed in eastern DR Congo, and so the journey began. By 2007 we had launched the first of what has become an inspiring education programme with local partner, Eben-Ezer Ministry International (EMI). The purpose of this programme has been to improve the education opportunities of primary school-aged children across the region. It has been an ambitious undertaking, delivered in stages, gradually and over time. Teacher training and school building have been accompanied by school management training and the establishment of teacher support networks; creative, grassroots community awareness raising on women and children’s rights have led to the establishment of village savings and loans associations (VSLAs), designed principally to empower women. All the while, activities have been delivered against a backdrop of post-conflict recovery and complex inter-community/inter-tribal dynamics. -An external evaluation of this education programme found that it has become a reference point for change and is held up as the reason for the steady and significant development taking place in the region. The external evaluation went on to state that EMI/Children in Crisis have played a substantial part in reorganising and reviving a deeply dysfunctional primary education system by raising general standards for teachers, by giving a sense of responsibility to school directors and by getting parents more involved….but that, inevitably, there is more still to do. -I take some considerable pride in the findings of this evaluation, especially when I reflect back to that very first trip to Gitigarawa and the problems that abounded. Most of all, I take pride in the careful, considered approach that Children in Crisis and our partners have taken over the years and will continue to take. The challenges of post conflict recovery and development are multiple and complex. War affects children long after the fighting has stopped. Neighbours that once lived peacefully together are divided; resources that once were shared, are fought over; trust takes time to rebuild. -Working side-by-side, with people, rather than for people, also takes time, is difficult, frustrating and can be one step forward and two steps back – but worth it in the long run. The changes that can be observed at Gitigarawa are testament to this and a testament to each and every one of Children in Crisis’s supporters whose faith and commitment to our work enable us to deliver lasting, meaningful improvements to children’s lives. -If you are prepared to throw yourself into the Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine world, it has one of the best affiliate programs on the market. I will be talking about that too later on. -In case you’ve never created a sales funnel before then Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine has you covered. -While Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine gives you a wonderful starting point with its funnel and page templates, the Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine editor is the place you can truly make each page in your funnel your own. -Elements (or widgets) are all vital for providing you the flexibility to design the specific pages you woud like and Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine gives you a large variety of them to use. -The Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine affiliate program pays out 40% recurring commissions for each referral you make and you can win cool prizes like $500 towards your own dream car as soon as you hit 100 active referrals. -Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine also has another excellent feature for affiliates called share funnels. -Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine limits you to 20 funnels, 100 pages, and 20,000 visitors on their cheapest plan. I’m really not a fan of software products that limit you in this way. -That is why Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine put so much work into the onboarding process to help ease you into the software. The Kartra interface is fairely well designed for the most part and when you’ve assembled a couple funnels yourself, the entire process does get easier over time. -Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine support is fairly good in my experience, although they can be a little slow in responding. They use Intercom, so you may immediately ask questions in the live chat box. Support requests are usually answered in a couple of hours and I found the staff to pretty helpful to all my questions. -Even though Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine has its own email service provider via Actionetics, it also integrates directly with all the best email marketing software on the market. -I believe Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine gets some negative buzz around it due to all of the affiliates who are making an effort to market it. -There are a few Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine alternatives out there which share a number of the same capabilities as Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine. Two that I use myself are LeadPages and SamCart. -However, if you are selling a service or product, then Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine is the better choice. While it comes with a higher learning curve than Leadpages, once you master the tool, you can really explode your sales as soon as you begin creating sales funnels for each of your products. -SamCart is a product that lets users build amazing, high converting checkout pages. Which gives it a lot in common with Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine. -SamCart does permit you to add order bumps, upsells and downsells such as Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine does. You can also quickly create coupons for your products which is just another terrific way to increase conversions. -However, where Samcart is missing, is the capability to capture leads and build complete sales funnels. The products come in at the same $97 a month price point, and I find Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine to be quite a bit more flexible and powerful than Samcart. -Otherwise, Kartra 4 Day Cash Machine could be overkill for you. You can collect leads or sell your front end product more cheaply using alternative services. -Great review. It is such a happy feeling when a book you’ve thoroughly enjoyed has more to tell. -I really hope your back has improved soon. -Thanks, my back is already doing better! My chiropractor was impressed by my progress! -Great review, sounds like you’ve had a crazy month! -A month from HELL! So glad I’m on the mend and hopefully the summer will be uneventful – health wise anyway! -That cover is absolutely stunning! -Great review. That cover is very eye-catching. -That cover! Every time I look at it I notice something else. -It’s out, folks, the fifth and penultimate issue of the limited Dragon Age series published by IDW. -Click here to see a preview. -Captured by the templars and revealed to be a mage, Gleam finds herself bound for the Circle Tower, the last place a wielder of magic would want to go. But templars aren’t the only danger in the woods, as Gleam must confront a monstrous spider whose venom can kill in an instant! -Ooh. Gives you the willies, don’t it? Pick it up, dragon slayers. Satisfaction guaranteed! -A young Seema discovers a cache of letters and papers in a locker belonging to her deceased mother. Besides chronicling her far-roving life across Canada, USA, Mexico, and India, these offer a glimpse into her private history-her feelings for M, a major leader of the Communist movement in British India and abroad; her commitment to, not only him, but also his cause; and her struggle to keep alive her feelings for him after his disenchantment with Communism. Even as Seema's mother grows increasingly cynical about the Communist cause, Seema blossoms into a rebel, voicing her dissent during the Emergency. If her insurgent spirit is curtailed, it is on account of a marriage that cramps her style. All at once, Seema's story crisscrosses with her mother's-as both women try making sense of lackluster alliances; as both find comfort in letters. A deftly woven tale spanning India's pre- and post-Independence history, Letters to Mamma is, above all, a celebration of words. These are words staining missives; words connecting the contradictory worlds of idealism and reality; and words that remind readers why Keki N. Daruwalla remains one of India's greatest writers. -Melbourn’s electronic music maestro Marcus Santoro is all set to ‘Hijack’ your music libraries with his latest record.

Pascua- Lama is also a “really big overhang” for Barrick, he said. -Gold futures in New York yesterday dropped below $1,200 for the first time since August 2010, as signs of improving U.S. economic growth boosted speculation the Federal Reserve will wind down its asset-purchase program. After rising to a record $1,923.70 an ounce in September 2011, gold futures for August delivery fell 1.6 percent to $1,192.20 at 8:47 a.m. today on the Comex in New York. -Barrick has forecast it will cost $950 to $1,050 to produce an ounce of gold on average from all its mines this year. Goldcorp forecast a cost of $1,000 to $1,100. -Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter and plays a role in the regulation of muscle tone. As its name suggests, it is technically an amino acid. However, it is unique to what most people know as amino acids because the amino acids that we are familiar with are in an alpha configuration, whereas GABA is in a gamma configuration. Consequently, it is not incorporated into proteins. -Where Does GABA Come from? -GABA is synthesised naturally within our body and low concentrations can be found in animal and plant products (cherry tomatoes are a good source). However, generally speaking, the amount we eat in our diet is very low. -The potentially beneficial property of GABA is the theory that it may increase levels of hGH (human growth hormone) within the body. Human growth hormone is produced in the pituitary gland and aids in lean tissue gain, reduction of fat mass, and increases bone density. There have been a few studies that have suggested that GABA supplementation has resulted in elevated levels of hGH. An earlier study found that a single 5 g dose of GABA significantly increased plasma hGH levels in three hours (Cavagnini et al, 1980). A more recent study has supported these findings, reporting that 3 g GABA supplementation increased hGH levels in men at rest and during exercise compared to a placebo (Powers et al, 2008). -No doubt, if GABA is effective in increasing hGH, this may be beneficial for bodybuilders. Powers et al (2008) stated that, "augmenting the postexercise irGH/ifGH response may improve resistance training-induced muscular adaptations", which simply means "increasing hGH may increase muscle gains". -Another effect of increased hGH is the benefit it has on reducing fat mass. Therefore, if GABA is effective in increasing hGH, it may be helpful for those wishing to lose fat. The efficiency of fat loss may be a result of the ability of hGH to stimulate muscle growth, and hence elevate resting metabolic rate to burn more fat. -One of the other reported effects of GABA is that is has a calming and relaxing effect. Consequently, it has also been used as a sleeping aid. -One criticism behind the rationale of GABA supplementation is that for GABA to work, it needs to find its way into the brain. However, GABA does not readily cross the blood brain barrier, so it may not be able to exert its effect on the pituitary gland. It seems that although GABA may be able to increase hGH, taking too much may actually have the opposite effect. A study has shown that a dose of 18 g/day for four days actually reduced hgH levels (Driskell & Wolinsky, 2009). The use of GABA appears to be safe. However it is not as well studied as some other supplements. Therefore, if you are pregnant, are on medications, or have any serious illnesses, consult your healthcare professional before commencing supplementation. -Due to the negative effect of high levels of GABA intake on hGH production, you should be wary of dosage, and make sure that you are not actually doing the opposite of what is intended. Studies have suggested that a 3 g dosage is adequate for promoting hGH production (Powers, 2008), and therefore is the recommended dosage. Because GABA may have a calming effect, it would be better to take the supplement an hour before bed, so it does not reduce your focus during the day. -GABA can be found as a pure stand-alone supplement. -Since GABA is a hGH promotant, it can be stacked with other hGH supplements. Here, they may work synergistically to provide different mechanisms to potentially boost your natural hGH levels. Additionally, since GABA is best taken at night, it could also be taken with a slow release night time protein, such as casein. However, if you are taking GABA purely as a sleep supplement, it may be better to do so on an empty stomach to promote rapid absorption. -The Old Testament tells the story of the beginnings of God’s salvation history, and it is part of the authoritative canon of Scripture affirmed by the church. But what role should the laws of the old covenant play in the lives of those living under the new covenant? -Can Christians embrace the commandment to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” but ignore the laws regarding clean and unclean food? Some have suggested that Christians remain under the moral laws of the old covenant, while others have argued that some of the Old Testament laws—for example, the Ten Commandments—still apply to Christians. -Wide-Eyed Movie Challenge - How many have you seen? -These movies kept me on the edge of my seat only focused on what was occuring in the film and nothing else.

McCormick introduced the series with these words: "Very few of us have the time or opportunity to visit in and around the movie studios in Hollywood and actually see how motion pictures are made... What really goes on before and after the cameras begin to grind... To talk with the stars, directors, artisans, the cameramen, authors, producers, screenwriters, and stand-ins... To learn at first hand all the interesting, colorful things that bring a completed movie picture to a theatre screen..." To date, the Old Time Radio Researchers Library features eighteen episodes produced in 1945. Each is between ten and twelve minutes. They feature RKO publicist, Bidwell McCormick and a cast of announcers. McCormick would open the show, then Nathan Hale, Nona Rey, or another announcer, would alternate stories, or in some cases, paragraphs, to keep the story fast-paced.

The package arrived in three days and there was zilch breakage. -I have ordered lot of eyeshadow palettes and awesome shades of lipsticks. I even ordered few blushes and a bronzer (which looks more like a highlighter). -I am sooooo excited to start reviewing these products and share it with you guys. -Wow Himani u are doing such amazing hauls every now and then :)) , lucky u I am dying to get my hands on all their eye shadow palettes, I only have one of them, btw does this website ship to India or is it only limited to US ? -Thanks Neha 🙂 Ya m trying to be ready for the spring n sure wil be soon back wid d reviews.. -OMG those blushers, lipsticks , and eye shadows look soooooooo good! nice haul! -Altered is a pretty intense thriller, with lots of suspense and even a little paranormal thrown in! The writing style is unique, really teenager oriented, and the characters are gritty and real. -“But how are we supposed to meet with them if we don’t know if we can trust them?” Anton asked swiftly. They had to keep this meeting short. It had taken them a while to all get to the abandoned house safely. The Academy was watching every move now, waiting for a mistake. -The group turned to Ann. Toni, Melvin, Anton and Lieutenant had all seen people who seemed to be hinting that they wanted to join their mini rebellion. -“What do you mean?” Toni asked. -“But what if they don’t understand that they have to act on their own?” Anton asked. -“Or get too scared of acting by themselves?” Lieutenant questioned. -“I think Ann just got promoted to Captain,” Lieutenant said, clapping her hand to Ann’s and pulling their fingers apart. -New Feature!: What's My Story? -The Excellent combination of both of these layers is the reason why the Puffy mattress is able to provide a cool and refreshing sleeping experience. -The Cover of the puffy mattress is made from top quality materials, which was specially designed and handpicked to operate together with the two foam layers and provide a good sleeping experience. -All Puffy mattresses are made according to order, it’s quickly ready in perfectly neat conditions so the mattress doesn’t stay compressed over a long period of time – This helps it feels clean until it’s unpacked. -Upon being crafted, your mattress is then compressed and sealed.

Cheers! -Trump's new immigration ad was panned as racist. Turns out it was also based on a falsehood. - Hartford Courant Trump's new immigration ad was panned as racist. Turns out it was also based on a falsehood. -Trump's new immigration ad was panned as racist. Turns out it was also based on a falsehood. -The expletive-filled advertisement President Donald Trump released this week, seemingly to raise fears about immigration in advance of the midterm elections, was widely denounced, with Democrats and even some Republicans criticizing it as racist. -But, beyond the outrage, the ad was also reportedly based on a falsehood. -The 53-second video focuses on the courtroom behavior of Luis Bracamontes, an undocumented immigrant who was convicted of killing two sheriff's deputies in California in 2014 and bragged about it during the trial. -"Democrats let him into our country," the ad's script reads. "Democrats let him stay." -Just one problem: It doesn't appear to be true. -Bracamontes, who had been deported multiple times before his crime spree, last entered the country while George W. Bush was president, sometime between May 2001 and February 2002, when there is a record for his marriage in Arizona, according to the Sacramento Bee. -He lived near Salt Lake City until 2014, when a methamphetamine-fueled road trip ended with the murder of the two Sacramento-area deputies, according to the Bee. -The ad also failed to mention that in 1998 he was arrested on drug charges in Phoenix, then released by the office of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio "for reasons unknown," the Bee reported. -Arpaio, a close Trump ally who has made waves for his hard-line immigration policies and rhetoric, was convicted in 2017 for ignoring a federal judge's order to stop detaining people on the suspicion of being undocumented immigrants. He was later pardoned by Trump. -The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office did not respond to a request for comment. -Bracamontes had been deported under both Democratic and Republican presidencies. -He was first arrested on charges related to marijuana possession in Phoenix in 1996 and sentenced to four months in jail, the Bee reported. He served his time and was deported in 1997, when Bill Clinton was president, only to be deported again in 2001 soon after being arrested on marijuana charges, according to the Bee. -Bracamontes has been sentenced to the death penalty in the murder case. -Bards Tale on the Spectrum was my first taste of RPG gaming. When I heard that this hallowed Rpg was now on iPad I could hardly contain my excitement. With the original Spectrum role player I must admit that it didn't live up to my expectations, being slow and stilted, the technology just wasn't there to make a proper Fantasy world come alive. Even when the Bard's Tale made its way to the Xbox some decades later I was again slightly put out as it didn't live up to the heroic ideals and grandiose dreams that I had of what a true Fighting Fantasy type game should be. -Well now the technology is definitely here to make all our other realm dreams come true (especially proven with my addiction to Skyrim!) but how does this type of grand and epic fantasy translate to the touch screened iPad? -Well it must firstly be said that it is a port of the 2004 Xbox RPG and not the original and much loved (if only for nostalgia's sake) Spectrum game (was the Bard's Tale on other consoles or PC? I'm only speaking from personal gaming experience here) . What makes this touchscreen fantasy immediately standout is the quirky humour that the series is known for. A satirical British flavour delivered by a States based game developer is definitely a unique and much loved feature of this game! -The eponymous Bard is a likeable and mischievous rogue , who is all up for quaffing a good ale, leering at buxom wenches and going on the odd adventure. The game has a fantastic storyline brought to life by a quintessentially English narrator. It is as much a story of high adventure as a coming of age and transformation of the Bard from a likeable rogue into a powerful warrior. -The journey along the way is truly epic and brought to life by some very slick iPad game controls. The game takes place in an isometric viewpoint with a left movement pad controlling your character and icons for blocking and attacking. The in-game fighting mechanics are brilliant as timing is key to parry your enemies strikes, mistimed parries result in damage to you. But get your iPad swordplay right and your enemy will soon be staggering back ready for you to lunge in with more powerful attacks. -This is probably one of the biggest and most epic games we've seen on iOS. There's unlockable quests to win, mysterious powers to master and an hilarious and deep RPG storyline to revel in. A must have RPG game for the iPad. -Looking for a tamoxifen? Not a problem!

He had increased frequency of urination (1-2 times/night). He had to wait a lot to urinate. He had disturbing sleeping patterns due to constantly waking up for urination. -He worked as a store officer and resided with his family. He was very anxious about his illness. He feared about his disease being cancerous (malignant). He used to constantly be under a feeling of being trapped in the house and not being able to move freely. He had marked aversion to being alone. He loved to talk and so he desired company. He opted for voluntary retirement (earlier than his tenure) as he was fed up with his previous job. He would often get angry and shout at his executives/manager at the job. He labels himself as a ‘terror’ at his job place. He would be very punctual. At the same time he was very fastidious in nature (would want to see everything in order). He used to be gloomy as his son was away for most of the time and he was left with no one to talk. -His history revealed that he had undergone surgery for Benign Enlargement of Prostate six years back, as a result of which he developed a stricture and now had to undergo regular dilatation.

If you can demonstrate enough performance to do what you claim you can do, that’s what matters to me from a backend point of view. Now, can you show me that your tool does what it should do better than your competitors? -There is a trend about the messages I’ve been hearing during vendor briefings over the past few months. They spend a lot of time talking about how great their architecture is, all those Hadoop stack components so beautifully integrated, showing how aligned to the latest data management, machine learning and analytics they are. They are proud of the stuff under the hood. But, very often, without verifiable claims on their effectiveness. -This is getting close to the insanity level. “We have AI”. “We are hadoop based”. “We do ML and Deep Learning”. It’s like the technology and techniques being used are the only thing to look for, and not the results! This may work to lure the VCs, but I cannot see how anyone would buy something that uses all this cool technology for…what exactly? -You see advanced analytics that provide “confidence levels” that do not change based on user feedback. Crazy visualizations that don’t tell you anything and could be easily replaced by a simple table view. “Deep Learning” for matching TI indicators to firewall logs. The list is endless. -My concern with this craziness is that vendors are mixing priorities here; they want to show they are using the latest techniques, but not worried about showing how effective they are. There are so many attempts to be the next “next-gen”, but not enough attempts to do help organizations solve their problems. This is killing innovation in security. I want to see how your tool makes threat detection 10x better, not that you can process 10x more data than your competitor. -There are cases where performance and capacity bottlenecks are the main pain point of an industry. Think SIEM before they started moving away from RDBMS, for example. But this is not always true. Now we see vendors happy to claim their products are based on Big Data technologies, but the use cases don’t require more than a few hundred megabytes of data stored. Stop that nonsense. -If you’re getting into this industry now, do so with a product that will work better than what organizations already have in place: findings more threats, faster and using less resources during detection and response. If your next-gen technology is not able to do so, it’s just a toy. And the message I hear from our clients is clear: We don’t want another toy, we want something that makes our lives easier. -The post Big data And AI Craziness Is Ruining Security Innovation appeared first on Augusto Barros. -Designed by Chester’s famous architect John Douglas, and erected in 1897 for the Bank of Liverpool Limited.

But it wasn’t always that way. Many human cultures have lived in harmony with their environments, albeit consuming far less than modern industrial peoples. Permaculture draws insights from these traditional cultures, from modern sciences and from personal observations of nature, to collect new and old ways of providing for human needs that are not only sustainable, but regenerative. Our aim is to create edible ecosystems. As designers, permaculture practitioners aim link the different components of each system together, in ecologically sensible ways, to achieve high yields for low inputs while actually building fertility over successive seasons. -For some, permaculture means a backyard garden that for relatively little work supplies an abundance of organically produced food all year round. For others, permaculture means a drought and flood-proof rural property ensuring food, water and energy security into the coming decades. -The term permaculture was coined in the seventies by Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren (the latter whom we visit in our Permaculture Design Certificate courses). Since then, it has become a global movement providing design solutions for every climate, landscape and culture imaginable. Permaculture is every bit as relevant to designing a vibrant, productive and truly sustainable edible garden in the Melbourne suburbs – check out this article by Dan for a few examples or our permaculture design consultancy services if you’d like us to visit. -As a comprehensive system integrating modern science and traditional sustainable agricultural techniques from cultures the world over, and weaving these into a set of ethics and principles that apply any where at any scale, permaculture is hard to get across briefly. It’s at once a sustainable design system, a set of worldviews, a way of living — and it’s a worldwide movement of people that practice these things. -To get a better feel for what it’s all about, come along to one of our workshops or if you’re ready to get serious, our Permaculture Design Certificate course. Be warned, for a lot of people (all of us included), learning about permaculture can be life-changing. It can fill you with an optimism about the future you didn’t know you had, and an unstoppable energy to get things happening on the ground! -Houston Technology Center alum, Xenex Disinfection Services, a healthcare company that raised $38 million in February, is now selling a new device for its machine that rids hospital rooms of infection-causing bacteria and viruses: a portable “pod” in which equipment can be disinfected. -Xenex’s primary product is a technology called the LightStrike Robot that uses pulses of ultraviolet light to destroy the viruses and bacteria in an entire hospital room, preventing potentially deadly infections like C.Diff and MRSA. The company’s new device is meant to clean other objects that frequently move around the hospital, such as wheelchairs, ventilators, mobile workstations, and other tools. They’re placed inside the Xenex pod along with the company’s robot. The pod looks like a collapsible tent and is lined with a reflective interior, which ensures that the entirety of the object is disinfected, Xenex says. -Xenex had the pods made by Los Angeles-based Mintie Technologies, a company that sells dozens of similar environmental services products. Each pod sells for $25,000, while the Xenex robot goes for $125,000. Xenex says the cost of treating a single infection acquired at a hospital can cost $10,000 to $50,000, so preventing a couple of potential contamination sites can pay for the cost of the technology. -Since its founding in 2009, Xenex has raised $94 million, including the $38 million round led by Essex Woodlands, a healthcare-focused investment fund with offices in Palo Alto, CA, Houston, New York, and London. -Come St. Patrick’s Day, year after year, bars and restaurants across the country pour out countless pints of green beer to serve to drunken revelers. In fact, data from restaurant management platform Upserve show that St. Patrick’s Day historically contributes to some of the year’s highest beer sales. That’s all well and good (turns out that, year after year, there’s a strangely huge market for pitchers of toxic-looking green suds), but we decided to check in with some restaurants that have found more creative ways to bring in customers this St. Paddy’s. From naturally green beer to innovative takes on St. Paddy’s-inspired fare, these eateries are monetizing the holiday to make some serious green. -Famed steakhouse Smith & Wollensky will be celebrating with special Steak & Whiskey Event, taking place now through St. Patrick’s Day weekend, serving up a whiskey-infused dry-aged steak paired with whiskey. -In Denver, Tamayo is putting an Irish spin on their tacos to bring in guests on what would typically be a slow day for a Mexican eatery. -Festive desserts rule in Chi-town, where Public House will serve a seasonal version of their popular Cake Shake, the Patty Cake Shake. The Instagram-worthy treat is made of beer, cake, ice cream, marshmallows and more. -Finally, San Diego’s Japanese spot Tajima is offering a special green-tinted Matcha-Hi drink to celebrate. The cocktail consists of Iichiko Shochu sake and iced green tea, a healthy, tasty alternative to green beer. “In creating the Matcha-Hi cocktail, the Tajima team wanted to incorporate trendy matcha tea while also offering customers an out-of-the-ordinary festive beverage. We wanted to stay true to our Japanese roots by coming up with a green sake-based drink that would make people say, ‘I’ve got to try that,’” says owner Isamu Morikizono. -Beware: Betaling Google Chrome is Malware! -First off, a quick translation: “betaling” means “payment” in Dutch, so when an app with the name “Betaling – Google Chrome.exe” shows up on the desktop of a Windows user, it’s not entirely unreasonable that they would click on it, thinking that it might be a secure version of Google Chrome that they’ve somehow downloaded. That’s a plus, right? A more secure version of the popular Web browser. -Once you launch it, though, the program pops up an error message telling you that your version of the .NET framework is out of date and that you need to upgrade it. Again, seems reasonable on the surface, because if you are getting a brand new browser, you surely need a brand new version of the .NET framework that underlies the entire Microsoft Windows system. Indeed, it’s exactly that plausibility that makes this such a dangerous malware program. -Now savvy Windows users will look at this window and frown: The latest version of the .NET framework is actually 4.6.2, according to Microsoft itself. But seriously, who checks? -Looks completely legit, doesn’t it? And € 0.50 = $0.53 so it might be a bit weird to pay a tiny amount to get the necessary upgrade but, hey, it’s $0.53, why not just enter the data and proceed? -That translates roughly into “unfortunately your details are not properly filled in, please try again.” SO you do. And you enter a valid credit card. And they’ve just charged you not for $0.53 (or € 0.50) but $250 or $500 or more, or even just saved your credit card data to sell on the darknet for a tidy sum. -So be smart, whether you see this exact prompt or something similar: Don’t accept downloads from unknown sources, don’t click on files that “just appear” on your desktop and never, ever enter your payment information to a page or program that seems even the tiniest bit suspect. -Thanks to MalwareHunter and BleepingComputer for the helpful images. -is it dangerous to buy windows 10 from web sites that want to sell it for half of what MS wants ? -Registered Owner: HP Shipping Ltd - UK - Operator: Hebridean Island Cruises - UK - an All Leisure Group comp. -April 09-2009 Hebridean Island Cruises has filed for administration. The Hebridean Spirit has been loss making for some time and although it has now been sold it has impacted on the funding of the remaining group. This means that unfortunately the company that owns the Hebridean Princess has filed for administration. -April 22 -2009 All Leisure group plc, which operates Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery, is pleased to announce that it has purchased the unique small cruise ship, Hebridean Princess. All Leisure group plc is keen to ensure that the Hebridean Princess will continue to offer distinctive cruises around the Scottish Highlands and islands and through the Norwegian fjords and will continue to operate from its head office in Skipton. -All Leisure Holidays Ltd has entered into an agreement for the sale and leaseback of the Hebridean Princess cruise vessel and certain related assets to HP Shipping for GBP2.9 million in cash. HP Shipping is a new company which is wholly owned by a syndicate of private investors, including Roger Allard. -March 2010 - The work, undertaken at the Middlesbrough yard of A&P Tees, was the final part of a four-year programme to ensure the 1964-built Hebridean Island Cruises vessel complies fully with new design and construction regulations coming into force later this year. In addition, many public areas were refreshed with new carpets, upholstery, furniture and lighting in lounges and new carpets, bulkheads and deckheads in most of the passenger alleyways. -The Tiree Lounge, Library, Conservatory, Look Out Lounge and Columba Restaurant all received attention with the lounges having been totally refurbished. In other work, the engines and auxillary engines underwent a full overhaul, the teak decks received attention and crew accommodation was upgraded. The hull colour has been returned to the traditional dark blue after spending last year in a different livery. -Former name: Ferry Columba converted to cruiseship in 1989. -A former US Foreign Service employee reveals the scale of the destruction of ancient artifacts in Iraq during the occupation of the country. -As Iraqi officials are estimating the extent of the damage done by the Islamic State militants to one of the country's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the ancient city of Hatra, a former US Foreign Service employee, Peter van Buren, has revealed that the US Army also wrought a lot of damage to some of the country’s historical landmarks. -On Saturday, Islamic State militants started destroying the 2,200-year-old site, having looted all of the ancient gold and silver coins that had been preserved. -Several days earlier, the Iraqi government said that ISIL fighters had attacked the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud in northern Iraq and bulldozed it with trucks. -But as it turns out, the ISIL fighters are not the only ones who damaged sites in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys. -A former US Foreign Service employee, Peter van Buren, who was embedded with the US Army in Iraq in 2009, has revealed that the US also contributed to the destruction of ancient places. -“The scale and intent were obviously different from what the Islamic State is doing, but a loss is a loss, in big bites or small ones,” he adds. -Peter van Buren also wrote about how the country’s ancient villages, which he calls “tells”, attracted the US soldiers, who would sometimes drive their military SUVs there, doing “donuts” and enjoying kicking up dust plumes. -On Monday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the reported destruction of Hatra by Islamic State extremists a war crime, and called on the international community to protect cultural artifacts. -But nobody so far commented on the leftovers from the US Army. Baghdad's Iraqi Museum was plundered in 2003 shortly after the city capitulated to American troops, prompting widespread censure that nobody had taken steps to protect its world-class collection of Sumerian and Babylonian artifacts. -The museum, which re-opened several weeks ago, estimates that approximately 15,000 items were taken in the chaos. Only one-third have been recovered. -Our library doesn’t have the book you need? No problem!
