Note: Way back in 1992 (on June 1, specifically) The Chicago Sun-Times graciously allotted me a goodly portion of their editorial page so that I could spread some sorely-needed clarity gel on an issue that was then, and is still to this day (inexplicably, in light of this essay) debated by Chicagoans.
Since the Illinois lottery, riverboat gambling, and legalized horse racing have already provided Illinois with jobs and revenue, I see no reason not to implement the Chicago casino proposal immediately. In fact, there are many kindred opportunities.
The simplest of these would be the shell game. After completing an approved two-week course in slight-of-hand, the state-licensed operators could give all our public areas a taste of casino action. A personable, yet aggressive operator would cajole people into wagering who otherwise would not even have been thinking about it. The take to the state easily would dwarf the massive percentage it skims off the Lottery.
Another opportunity for Illinois to enrich itself is through the classic "pigeon-drop" con. In this maneuver, a potential victim or "mark" finds a briefcase at the same time as do two state-employed con artists, who pretend not to know each other. They all open the briefcase and discover it is full of cash, along with some indication that the money is illicit. One of the con men runs off to "consult a trusted lawyer"; when he returns, he informs the other two that the money can be legally theirs if it is held for 30 days. The mark is elected to hold the money, in return for leaving a smaller amount of his own money with the con men as "good faith." As soon as he gives his money to the con men, they depart, and when the mark opens the suitcase...he finds it has been switched to one containing shredded newspaper!
Sadly, a trip to the casinos is out of the question for most elderly invalids. The Land of Lincoln should service this neglected segment by sending out shady repairmen who would come right to the doors of the invalids, convince them that without expensive repairs their furnaces could blow at any moment and then cut out immediately after receiving several thousand dollars.
To get money from well-heeled visitors to our state, I would stock Chicago's hotels and convention centers with alluring females whom I would dub "Daley Girls." A Daley Girl would lure a prosperous-looking tourist or conventioneer into a deserted stairway, alley or parking garage, where another city employee would bash him over the head. Assume an average return of $200 on each visitor (not including his watch!) and it is easy to see how Chicago's education coffers would soon overflow.
To those who question whether our government should be involved in these admittedly more aggressive revenue pursuits, I would remind them that people are going to play the shell game anyway. They are going to fall victim to con men anyway. They are going to follow beautiful women into deserted stairwells and get their skulls bashed in anyway. At least with my proposal, the state can control these activities and can skim money from them for our school system...money that would otherwise be going to unsavory characters.

So how do we diversify? Unfortunately its not just about popping a wide range of probiotic's - although that helps.
The microbes in the gut need to be fed well and they love a diverse range of multi-coloured vegetables and fruit, especially when they are organic and don't have a cocktail of chemicals. This provides a wide range of fibers and polyphenols which feed our microbes. Having raw vegetables also introduces microbes as healthy produce is covered in them, especially if organic and they haven't been sitting in the supermarket for weeks. There are also organisms that feed on collagen and other nutrients from bone broth.
Getting back into nature and actually getting dirty seems to support diversity by exposing us to a wide range of organisms. If you can't get into the bush regularly, organic gardening is another way to get dirty and intimate with the microbial world.
Exercise has been clearly shown to improve diversity of gut flora - no-one really knows why but it seems to work! It doesn't seem to matter what type of exercise, more importantly that you don't under or over exercise...listen to your body and what it needs and loves, and invest in a good trainer if you don't have an established exercise rhythm.
Eating a wide range of fermented foods and a variety of probiotic supplements also supports our microbiome and can encourage diversity if varied.
It is an exciting time as a clinician to be involved in the gut flora as the new DNA methods of testing become widely available and we learn more about its impact on health.

World of Warcraft news tell you what the future holds for Azeroth. World of Warcraft Legion will be released shortly and will bring a tidal wave of changes.
World of Warcraft Legion is set for international release on August 30. In anticipation of the latest installment in the series, developers have released a major pre-patch. It serves the purpose of the readying the game for the latest expansion and getting players familiar with new characters. Blizzard announced players that those who pre-purchase the game will have the Demon Hunter class available. The best case scenario is to have this character class released on August 17, two weeks before the game itself.
World of Warcraft news indicates the fact that the new installment will bring sweeping changes. All classes and characters will be affected more or less, in an attempt to make them more distinct. Some players complained that there were simply too many similarities between classes and this issue is being addressed by Blizzard. Preview blogs and videos allow players to catch a glimpse at what lies ahead and serve as an incentive to preorder.
Some of the most troubling World of Warcraft news is in regard to some content vanishing forever. On one hand, the new installment will introduce new quests, raids and dungeons. At the same time, some of the adventures that are still available will be removed so this is the last chance to enjoy them. Players are supposed to resist their natural inclination to focus exclusively on visuals. The new transmog system is impressive, but there are other priorities for those who play the pre-patch content.
Among the things that can be enjoyed for the last time, the Stranglethorn Fishing Tournament is at the top of the list. This competition brings players together in one of the most beautiful areas of World of Warcraft. Meanwhile, players should make the last attempts to join the Brawler’s Guild and put their skills to the test in the Challenge Modes.
Those who defeated Garrosh Hellscream know that it used to drop heirloom-class weapons that can be passed on new characters. When World of Warcraft Legion hits the stores, all these items will be removed, so time is clearly on the essence. Most of the trinkets that can be found in the latest dungeons and raids were nerfed, making the heirloom items a better alternative.
By now everyone knows that the existing classes will undergo significant changes to make them more unique. At the same time, the imminent introduction of the demon hunters is on the lips of all players. The only way to experiment the thrills of this new class is by pre-ordering the game. The investment will have a two-pronged effect, as they will get to participate in specific pre-launch events.
Some World of Warcraft News indicate the fact that this melee class will come out as overpowered. This has happened in the past and until Blizzard intervenes to restore orders, players enjoyed a good time. Past performance suggest that regardless of their class of choice, players will embrace the new addition. On the other hand, once World of Warcraft Legion rolls on, players will revert to their main characters. That’s why, acquiring the game early allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds.
World of Warcraft Legion will begin with a massive scale battle between the heroes of Azeroth and the Legion. This promises to be one of the most memorable opening chapters of all expansions so far. Those who are hoping for a happy ending, shouldn’t hold their breath as some key characters won’t survive. Developers chose to make this expansion more dramatic than its predecessors and players will get a taste of this approach early on.
This action-packed debut of World of Warcraft Legion is bound to get players fully immersed into the war atmosphere. It definitely helps that the World of Warcraft the Beginning movie was released just two months before. The community of players is expected to include newcomers, in addition to dedicated fans of the franchise. Some important characters will be gone, but new heroes will step up to face the onslaught of Legion forces.
Players who spend some time defeating bosses in Hellfire Citadel have a last chance to secure a legendary mount. Defeating Archimonde on Heroic mode results in the dropping of the moose mount. Skill and tenacity are also rewarded with the elusive Felsteel Annihilator mount that drops only in Mythic mode.
The recent World of Warcraft news conveys an optimistic message for fans of player versus player combat. Very little has changed over the course of two expansions, but the latest installment promises to be different. Players are advised to start collecting Marks of Honor which will serve as the new currency for PVP gear. You can forget about conquest and honor points because once the expansion rolls out, this currency will be removed.
Blizzard has announced that there won’t be distinct types of gear for PVE and PVP players. Transmog will be the only way to produce truly distinctive equipment. For a brief period of time, PvE experts will get to put their high-level equipment to good use in battlegrounds. The stats from their trinkets and gear will only last until World of Warcraft Legion launches. The bottom line is that if you want to feel overpowered and deliver indiscriminate justice to PVP players, this is the time to act.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, are beginners who boost a character to level 100. There is great World of Warcraft news for this category as well, as their basic gear is competitive in skirmishes. Once the leveling up begins, it will be every player for himself or herself and gear level will matter again.

Two great thoughts on the importance of networking. Russ Gambrel had a lightbulb moment (it goes hand-in-hand with NEVER EAT ALONE). A recent article from the Huffington Post conceptualizes the reality that your biggest asset is YOUR NETWORK. Most folks have never considered the truth in that. Building your network ‘asset’ requires investing in your relationships and in turn, building trust. This trust is key when a member of your network (or a member of your member’s network, etc) needs something. Great read!
Also, Rob Keaton recently read a great article on networking. Regardless of your title, industry or role, networking is the currency that makes both individuals and ultimately businesses successful. From the entry level associate through the CEO, the power of one’s personal network yields opportunities and options at every stage. The three things I always try to remember when it comes to networking: Be Real, Be Relevant and Be Responsive.
Rob Keaton brings nearly 20 years of experience as an Accounting and Financial Executive to Fahrenheit. With a broad range of experience across industries, he is well positioned to tackle the challenges of businesses of any size. Rob began his career serving several years at a boutique CPA firm where he honed his skills managing multiple clients and competing priorities while supervising tax preparation, audit services and more for both non-profit organizations and small to medium enterprises.

The American Agri-Women (AAW) recently honored Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa with its Champion of Agriculture Award during the annual AAW Fly-In in Washington D.C.
“We are honored to recognize a true Champion of Agriculture in Senator Joni Ernst. Her concern and dedication to agriculture and rural America is evident in both her words and actions,” said AAW President Doris Mold.
American Agri-Women member and fellow Iowan Natalina Sents had the honor of presenting the award to Sen. Ernst. Natalina is a recent Iowa State University graduate who spent six months on the road last year visiting all 50 states to share the “Why I Farm” stories of 150 farmers – sponsored by Beck’s Hybrids.

You and I had better stay at home3—we seem bound to get hurt at one extremity or the other. I will trade you a game ankle for a game shoulder. I'm still wearing bandages, and a metal brace in my shoe.
You will find a letter from Mr. Llona4, asking you for an extension of time, which I beg you to give him. The first part of his translation5 is here, and is so interesting that I am putting a good deal of work on it. He s may groan at some of my suggestions, as I write very funny french, but there are some places where he has clearly missed the suggestion of the English6. For the most part it seems wonderfully well done. La Nouvelle Revue7 is the most interesting of the French literary magazines; publication in it would give one the best French audience,—and is by way of a compliment as well.
Since you like "Main Street"8, I know you will be glad to hear what nice things Sinclair Lewis9 has been saying about my books10 on his lecture tour. I was ill when he lectured here11, and could not go to hear him, but he said such cordial things that newspaper men kept coming to the house all the next morning. I wrote him a polite note12 of thanks, and have just had such a nice reply. I used to tell you, you remember, that the younger fellows would speak louder for me than the old ones, someday. Lewis and Floyd Dell13 have done14 a lot of press agent work15 for me this winter. I've never met Lewis, but he must be a generous sort of fellow.
I do hope your shoulder isn't a very bad one. You and I have nothing on Elsie Sergeant16 now! You've heard about poor Cameron Mackenzie17? I suppose we ought to be thankful to get off a boat alive!
The year of this letter is established by corresponding letters from Houghton Mifflin staff. It is possible Cather wrote "April 27th" in error, as the letter from Greenslet she is responding to bears the same date, and it is unlikely that both letters were written on the same day.
On 27 April 1921 Greenslet sent Cather her semi-annual copyright statement and reported that he had just returned from England, where "inspired by [her] illustrious example" he had fractured and dislocated his shoulder his second day in London.
See #0540 for more about his lecture in Omaha, NE.
In a review of Youth and the Bright Medusa, Floyd Dell praised Cather for "ma[king] the artist real--for almost the first time in the history of literature."
Dell, Floyd (1887-1969). American editor, journalist, and writer. Born in Barry, IL, Floyd Dell moved to Chicago in 1908 to work as a journalist and became assistant editor (1909) and then editor (1911) of the Friday Literary Review of the Evening Post. In 1914 Dell moved to New York City and became the associate editor of the left-wing magazine the Masses and then a staff member for the Liberator (1918-1924). His first novel, Moon Calf (1920) was a bestseller. In 1935 he moved to Washington, DC, to join the Federal Writers Project. An admirer of Willa Cather’s work, Dell positively reviewed O Pioneers! in the Chicago Evening Post (1913). Cather and Dell became acquainted through Greenwich Village literary circles, and in 1921 she noted Dell’s “press work” promoting her fiction (#0542).
Mackenzie, Cameron (1882 -1921). American magazine editor and journalist. Born in Wilkes-Barre, PA, Cameron Mackenzie graduated from the Lawrenceville School, which his father founded, and studied at Yale University for a year before enrolling in the New York University Law School, from which he graduated in 1907. In 1907 he also married Elizabeth McClure, daughter of S. S. McClure. His father-in-law put him on the editorial staff of McClure’s Magazine, where he worked with Cather. In 1912 he and Frederick Collins wrested control of the magazine from S. S. McClure. Mackenzie resigned from McClure’s in 1915, subsequently writing two novels and serving as a correspondent for the London Morning Post during World War I. He died unexpectedly of pneumonia on board the Cunard liner Aquitania shortly after the ship departed London for New York City.

England midfielder Jordan Henderson praised Marcus Rashford in the wake of his display against Spain but insists he must strive to improve.
Gareth Southgate’s men slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Spain on Saturday evening, despite taking the lead at Wembley. Rashford fired the Three Lions into the lead early on, latching on to a pin-point through ball from Man United teammate Luke Shaw and finishing with aplomb.
However, Luis Enrique’s side hit back instantly when Saul Niguez equalised just two minutes later before Rodrigo added a second just after the half-hour mark for the visitors.
Despite a late-rally from England, the World Cup semifinalists fell to their third consecutive competitive defeat, although they did have a goal wrongly chalked off in injury time when a soft foul on David De Gea was given after Danny Welbeck turned the ball into the net.
As per Sky Sports, Liverpool captain Henderson gave his frank verdict on Rashford’s performance post-match, stating that although he might have added another goal or two to his final tally, he was always a threat and underlined his importance to the team.
The midfielder told reporters: “We all know how talented Marcus is. His was a great finish. He had another one or two chances that maybe he would have liked to have scored but I thought he looked sharp.
Southgate must now dust his players down for Tuesday night’s clash with Switzerland, who managed to beat Iceland 6-0 over the weekend. If England are to avoid another disappointing defeat then the likes of Rashford, Harry Kane and Welbeck must all show a more clinical edge in front of goal.
The World Cup exploits of this team are quickly becoming a distant memory and if the Three Lions are to capitalise on the progress they made in Russia it is vital that they get back to winning ways before the momentum they built up completely slips away.

Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent beef is far from over.
The two very rich men are on Instagram trolling each other for the past week. On Monday, Floyd Mayweather took things up another notch when he told fans he will pay them $1000 each for the top nine best insults on 50 Cent’s social media page. At this point, these two celebrities should put on their boxing gloves and step into the boxing ring to settle their dispute.
First, 50 Cent accused Floyd Mayweather of faking rumors that he bought a watch for $18 million. The boxing legend claps back with a video of himself wearing the diamond watch inside a nightclub recently. Mayweather then made a post on Instagram of a photo of 50 from when he lost a ton of weight for a movie role. He then asked his fans to troll the rapper and he will pay nine of them $1,000 each.

Italian's Insight to Travel Italy: Merry Christmas?
The Christmas traditions in Italy are varied from region to region as much as the food. From the feudal periods there were protector Saints, festivities, and celebrations that were the sum of the different cultures that had passed through the area over the years. Italy had conquered the world and been conquered by the world, immigrated and received immigration, been the birthplace of rulers and the favorite vacation retreat of some foreign king. Its traditions and culture are vast.
Italy is also the center of the Roman Catholic Church. In 386 the Catholic Church became the church of state and began a process of dominating local rituals and celebrations thus incorporating existing festivities in Christian practices.
Today what is considered “Christmas” in the US is not necessarily part of the Italian Christmas tradition. Additionally the US has exasperated the commercial aspect of the holiday, re-enforcing certain symbols, such as the Christmas tree and Santa Claus, that do not find correspondence in Italian tradition. That is not to say that no one has a Christmas Tree or that people have no idea of Santa Claus, just that they are not dominate symbols, and while the retail corporations do heavily advertise during the Christmas period the advertising is more good feeling, family, friends and food rather than the latest plastic robot or new car.
Initially I felt cheated a bit at Christmas. I remembered Christmas as a child, the lights on every house, the music playing on every station, caroling with friends and just about every store promoting the holiday spirit. After a few years, I began to understand the Italian Christmas, I still wanted my Christmas tree but also saw the marvelous beauty of the nativity scenes. I never got over not having Santa Claus but did appreciate the folklore and tradition of Santa Lucia and the Befana. In fact I began to prefer the fact that gifts were exchanged on a different day than Christmas, leaving Christmas day to have family and close friends for a day of cooking, eating and exchanging good cheer.
To give my two cents on the current debate proceeding in the US about retailers attacking Christmas, the period from Thanksgiving to New Year’s eve is the hottest retail period during the year. The things we associate with Christianity are not the things the people who live in the cradle of the Roman Catholic Church perceive as Christianity, but corporate America has created a perception, over the last 50 years, of what Christmas should entail. Today they want to call it the “holiday season” because they feel it will open a greater addressable market.
What a bunch of hypocrites, and we the consumer are gullible to get caught up in this discussion. If a store does not want to say “Merry Christmas”, it is not a place where I want to buy a Christmas gift. I can buy a holiday gift in a store that so adamantly expresses its desire of “Happy Holidays” and bans Santa Claus however, I forgot what day I am supposed to give the Holiday gift. More importantly, I do not know why I would exchange a Holiday Gift. For me it is Christmas, with all of the connotations of Christmas. I do not condemn corporate America’s desire to “cash in” but for me, as a consumer, I want to buy things where my purchase is appreciated.
I agree with your thoughts about the over-commercialization of Christmas as a Sales Event in the United States. It's also troubling that while 90% or more Americans do celebrate Christmas and want it acknowledged and not ignored, retailers trying to reach a larger audience, bury Christmas in favor or Holiday which could be Easter or St. Patrick's Day or St. Valentine's Day. As for Season's Greetings, I don't celebrate WINTER, I CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS! The very sorry thing is that the advertisements of retailers are driving the thoughts of many, to the point where when members of my Church's congregation sign the Church's Christmas Car,d which is printed in the Tidings Bulletin, by writing "Happy Holidays" and "Season's Greetings" instead of "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Standing for tradition and values, I only utter "Merry Christmas" to ALL and write "Keep Christ in Christmas" as a reminder to the weak minded who hold no principles dear, even within the walls of the Church, God's House!
For those of you that question, "But what if I offend someone by wishing them a Merry Christmas? What if they don't celebrate Christmas?" YOU WON'T OFFEND! Do you celebrate your birthday, which is unique to you? Do you celebrate with friends or receive gifts or good wishes from family, friends, coworkers and sometimes even strangers (at a restaurant for example)? Do you worry about offending people whom you invite to celebrate your birthday and who share the joy of your special, meaningful day with you even though it's not their birthdate? No of course you don't worry! Many people share the joy of their Wedding Anniversaries, marked by celebrations with others who don't hold that date dear. Christmas is a time of GREAT JOY! It's a time of caring, sharing, giving, loving, goodness and kindness! It marks the birth of OUR Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! The world needs more of this, not less! Don't be embarrassed of who you are and don't hide it. Greet people with Merry Christmas! Be in charge and set the tone for the weak minded followers who succumb to the hollow, empty cult message of happy holidays... which is a message of emptiness and really says NOTHING of any significance! You have a choice as a Christian each Christmas Season to stand with the Lord by greeting all with a JOYOUS, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" and spread His goodness or to fall with the ignorant masses and perhaps INSULT YOUR LORD and SAVIOR. Did you ever question whether you would offend God by your actions and failure to acknowledge or mention his Son's name in a friendly greeting? A greeting of "Merry Christmas" should be viewed and RECEIVED by ALL recipients as a GIFT of JOY and PURE GOODNESS!
If you can't say Christmas, maybe you shouldn't celebrate it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND GOD'S BLESSINGS TO ALL!!!

The background color of the inline editor's CC lanes uses the "MIDI editor ruler background" theme element, but the CC lane names and the lane dividers don't follow "MIDI editor ruler text" color, or any other theme element that I could find.
By default, the CC lane names and the lane dividers seem to be darker shades of the background color. This works fine when using light colored themes, but when dark themes are used, the CC lane names and lane dividers are difficult or impossible to distinguish.

On all our wedding photography assignments we offer all our brides a bridal photography training session. We see this as a key aspect of our work, where we work with the bride to help her develop and build her photography posing style that truly reflects her character and personality. Thus making her ready for her wedding photography shoot and special wedding photography offers training courses shows.
This is an important element of our work since it puts the bride in control of how she wants to appear in her photographs with very little direction from the photographer.

Travel on a spoofy, romantic romp from the far out Deovolante Galaxy to the Milky Way with mismatched mission commanders, Will and Vita, who are trying to save renegade planet Earth from itself. Our commanders are charged with calming the endless wars on planet Earth. But the well-intentioned mission is plagued with a series of untoward events that threaten to destroy it. Will our commanders be able to save the day?
Rodan, former misguided pirate now reformed, leads an expedition from planet Earth back to the Deovolante Galaxy to re-establish contact with the Oversee, the Deovolante ruling entity, who have disappeared. The return trip is plagued with problems. First and foremost, they discover a mysterious being in the ship’s freezer, who shouldn’t be there. When the expedition arrives in Deovolante, they discover there is a strange entity pursing them. Rodan and company decide to confront the strange entity at a black hole rendezvous. Unfortunately, their navigator makes a few wrong calculations, and they end up in the Next Universe Over.
Eloise Bright, renowned theoretical physicist, finds it odd that a top-secret physics conference will be held at a remote backcountry campsite in Utah’s Bryce Canyon National Park. When the conference organizer doesn’t show, the attending physicists team up to try to find him. One of them takes extraordinary interest in Eloise and, in an aside to her, confesses he is from another galaxy, which she laughs off at the same time wondering what she’s gotten herself into. Eloise’s scientific training is put to the test as she comes to terms with a hoodoo curse that brings bad luck. Ultimately, she has to decide if she really believes her eyes.
In Earth Rising Eloise Bright, well-known physicist, encounters again the strange alien known as Mur Ray, whom she met in Hoo Doo Canyon and who has decided he wants her for his mate. He's on Earth to assemble the team of aliens from the Deovolante Galaxy who are helping with the Rising, which will move Earth to a higher plane of existence. She meets the Rising team at their base on a ranch in Oregon. Along with two of her colleagues she tries to make the Rising work. But they encounter resistance from Earth herself who erupts into volcanoes and earthquakes in protest. The Earth's plant and animal life refuse to cooperate with the Rising because they don't want humans to remain as rulers. It looks like the Rising is doomed, and Eloise distances herself from Mur Ray and the rest of the Deovolante team. But a slight problem surfaces, and Eloise once again has to face Mur Ray. It is up to Eloise to make the decision that will affect the rest of her life and the future well being of her colleagues and planet.

Have you already had the opportunity to read the book by Tomasz Zaród "Zorba 50 years later published by @greckie klimaty? We are fresh after reading and would like to share our insights about it with you. This is a very unique project that we are pleased to be the media patron of.
The nearly 300-page Baedeker guide issued by the Pascal publishing house in 2007 (issue 1) is almost an encyclopedic item. Baedeker has 150 years of experience in creating tourist literature and tries to publish his publications tailoring them to the needs of tourists. The guide is very comfortable in many ways and its formula well thought out and refined.
The Navigator Guide from the Navigator series is relatively cheap and will not deplete your portfolio too much. For about PLN 20 you will get a well-published small book that has been printed on thick paper of good quality. In our opinion, this pocket edition from the Navigator series will be a perfect complement to encyclopedic guides such as the "Crete" Baedeker publishing house. Recommended.
The "Kreta" guide from Dumont publishing house (in Poland printed by PWN) is another very handy pocket publication that is sold at a reasonable price of less than PLN 20. As with other such small guides, you will not find many descriptions of places here, and the amount of information provided is clearly limited by a small format of 19 x 10 cm and a small number of pages. Despite these restrictions Klaus Bötig managed to put quite a lot of interesting information in it.
The Discovery Channel guide published by the RM Publishers in 2007 is a 120-page translation of the English collective study. The main author of the texts is Brigitte Seckendorff-Kourgierakis, who, while working on this guide, crossed Crete along the breadth. For this reason, this book is a special item on our market because it is based on the experience of the author and her friends.
The Freytag & Berndt map is a great affection, because its previous edition has faithfully accompanied us during several previous trips. Despite such a long period of exploitation, it is difficult to remember the situation in which this map "lost" us in Crete. Even its gigantic dimensions sometimes proved to be an advantage, because often this map landed during a standstill under the windshield of the car, acting as a roller blind protecting the cabin from the sun :).
Pascal's Guide to Crete from 2006 (with resumption in 2009) belongs to the series of guides around the world, which are characterized by a small format (24 x 11 cm), a soft spiral binding and a colorful cover with a large, vertical name of the described place. This graphic design makes these guides easily recognized on the shelf in the bookstore. The Crete Guide is a collective study translated from English with 192 pages.
Crete - ExpressMap is a double-sided laminated map in the cover. Its dimensions are small: 100 x 48 cm after unfolding, and in the composite form it is only 11 x 24 cm. The plan of Crete was presented in 1: 150,000 scale. In addition, the publisher on both sides also posted the plans of major cities: Heraklion, Rethymnon, Chania, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia, which are sketched on a scale of 1:10 000. There is also a small plan of islet Gavdos (1: 150,000).
The Terrain publishing product is a rather compact 1: 200,000 car map sold in a rigid plastic case that will surely perform well in protective functions. It is worth mentioning that the material from which it is made is some artificial material (or paper composite) that is waterproof and very strong. You must use a lot of force to break the map or use some sharp tool. It certainly bodes well when it comes to its lifespan.
Anyone who is close to the topic of Greece certainly knows the name of Dionisios Sturis, who for a long time is trying to bring the problems of Ellada residents to the Poles. Many people associate him with the TOK FM radio, where he is a "duty" journalist dealing with the strike of Greece.

Today has been a good day. Sun is shining, kids are happy. Mum and Dad decided to take Kellan down the Saturday market with them today, so me and Grayson got to have a bit of time just the two of us. After about an hour he was ready for his nap. Once he was asleep i decided to make the most of it and do some swimming and sunbathing. Just as i relaxed Mum, Dad and Kellan came home. Oh well!
We are now sitting here, watching Disney Pixar Cars waiting for the BBQ to start. I’m even going to have a few glasses of sangria tonight..

Right. What's all this, then?
A: I'm taking old character-based board games from TV shows, Movies, and Comic Books and coding browser-playable versions of them.
A: I enjoyed the process so much, I followed up The Six Million Dollar Man Board Game with the Bionic Crisis Board Game. I enjoyed that so much that I checked my closet for other potential board game fodder and found The Mad Magazine Board Game. That became my third project.
A: As The Mad Magazine Game unfolded before me, I realized I wasn't going to want to stop there, but I didn't have an outlet to post the Mad game, let alone any other games. Thus, this site was born.
A: And...and that's about it.
Q: Thank you for answering our probing questions.
A: You're welcome, enjoy the site.

A rumour has made its way all the way into the press that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be made into a film – and not just one film! A trilogy, with Dan, Emma and Rupert returning to their original roles, to be released in 2026.
I have no idea how these stories emerge, but to set the record straight once and for all: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a stage play, it was conceived and written as a stage play, it was always intended to be a stage play and nothing else, and there are absolutely no plans for it to become a movie, a novel, a puppet show, a cartoon, a comic book series or Cursed Child on Ice.

If you follow me on Instagram you kinda know I'm mildly obsessed with reupholstering chairs. Kinda obsessed with accent chairs in general as I also dished about here.
So, of course I've noticed this trend of beautiful chairs/sofas with wheels. Super cute (said in my Miami Cuban accent) but the functional side of me wants to know how practical are these lovelies? Sure, it must be easier to rearrange your furniture and to scoot closer to someone when you're trying to have a conversation, but doesn't this also mean that you're sliding all over the place if the chair has wheels? Or do they have a locking system in place?
I really love em but have yet to purchase any for clients. If you have one, or have purchased one for a client, can you let me know how they roll? Are the wheels just decorative or can you slide around in these bad boys? Holla. Please.
You know, I've never sat in a chair with those mini castors. I love the look of them. I'd imagine they wouldn't go anywhere since the back legs are typically standard wood legs. But I'd also love to hear more about them from people who have worked with them.
Such lovely inspiration:) your blog Is so great.

Is 2446 a prime number?
Is 2446 a prime number? What are the divisors of 2446?
No, 2446 is not a prime number.
For example, 2446 can be divided by 2: 2446 / 2 = 1 223.
To be 2446 a prime number, it would have been required that 2446 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1.
2446 is an even number, because it is evenly divisible by 2: 2446 / 2 = 1 223.
Is 2446 a perfect square number?
A number is a perfect square (or a square number) if its square root is an integer; that is to say, it is the product of an integer with itself. Here, the square root of 2446 is about 49.457.
Thus, the square root of 2446 is not an integer, and therefore 2446 is not a square number.
What is the square number of 2446?
The square of a number (here 2446) is the result of the product of this number (2446) by itself (i.e., 2446 × 2446); the square of 2446 is sometimes called "raising 2446 to the power 2", or "2446 squared".
The square of 2446 is 5 982 916 because 2446 × 2446 = 24462 = 5 982 916.
As a consequence, 2446 is the square root of 5 982 916.
2446 is a number with 4 digits.
What are the multiples of 2446?
Is 8592 a prime number?
2 446 est-il un nombre premier ?

In recent years, theoretical and practical research on event-based communication strategies has gained considerable research attention due primarily to their irreplaceable superiority in resource-constrained systems (especially networked systems). For networked systems, event-based transmission scheme is capable of improving the efficiency in resource utilization and prolonging the lifetime of the network components compared with the widely adopted periodic transmission scheme. As such, it would be interesting to 1) examining how the event-triggering mechanisms affect the control or filtering performance for networked systems, and 2) developing some suitable approaches for the controller and filter design problems. In this paper, a bibliographical review is presented on event-based control and filtering problems for various networked systems. First, the event-driven communication scheme is introduced in detail according to its engineering background, characteristic, and representative research frameworks. Then, different event-based control and filtering (or state estimation) problems are categorized and then discussed. Finally, we conclude the paper by outlining future research challenges for event-based networked systems.
Day by day, networked control system (NCS) methods have been promoted for distributed closed-loop control systems. Interestingly, the integration of control and computing theories enhanced the development of networked control systems through remote control for wide applications employing the internet. Two further directions to networked control technology are Leader-Follower systems and model predictive control systems. Cloud control system is looked at an extension of networked control systems (NCS) using internet of things (IOT) methodologies. In this paper, a comprehensive literature survey of the new technology of control systems application performed on cloud computing is presented.
Breeze/architecture description language (ADL), is an eXtensible markup language (XML) based architecture description language which is used to model software systems at the architecture level. Though Breeze/ADL provides an appropriate basis for architecture modelling, it can neither analyse nor evaluate the architecture reliability. In this paper, we propose a Breeze/ADL based strategy which, by combining generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN) and tools for reliability analysis, supports architecture reliability modelling and evaluation. This work expands the idea in three directions: Firstly, we give a Breeze/ADL reliability model in which we add error attributes to Breeze/ADL error model for capturing architecture error information, and at the same time perform the system error state transition through the Breeze/ADL production. Secondly, we present how to map a Breeze/ADL reliability model to a GSPN model, which in turn can be used for reliability analysis. The other task is to develop a Breeze/ADL reliability analysis modelling toolɃEXGSPN (Breeze/ADL reliability analysis modelling tool), and combine it with platform independent petri net editor 2 (PIPE2) to carry out a reliability assessment.
In the present work, autonomous mobile robot (AMR) system is intended with basic behaviour, one is obstacle avoidance and the other is target seeking in various environments. The AMR is navigated using fuzzy logic, neural network and adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller with safe boundary algorithm. In this method of target seeking behaviour, the obstacle avoidance at every instant improves the performance of robot in navigation approach. The inputs to the controller are the signals from various sensors fixed at front face, left and right face of the AMR. The output signal from controller regulates the angular velocity of both front power wheels of the AMR. The shortest path is identified using fuzzy, neural network and ANFIS techniques with integrated safe boundary algorithm and the predicted results are validated with experimentation. The experimental result has proven that ANFIS with safe boundary algorithm yields better performance in navigation, in particular with curved/irregular obstacles.
This paper presents the reaction torque based satellite base reactionless control or base disturbance minimization of a redundant free-floating space robot. This subject is of vital importance in the study of the free-floating space robot because the base disturbance minimization will result in less energy consumption and prolonged control application. The analytical formulation of the reaction torque is derived in this article, and the reaction torque control can achieve reactionless control and satellite base disturbance minimization. Furthermore, we derive the reaction torque based control of the space robot for base disturbance minimization from both the non-strict task priority and strict task priority control strategy. The dynamics singularity in the proposed algorithm is avoided in this paper. Besides, a real time simulation system of the space robot under Linux/real time application interface (RTAI) is developed to verify and test the feasibility and reliability of the method. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of online reaction torque control of the redundant free-floating space robot.
Learning and self-adaptation ability is highly required to be integrated in path planning algorithm for underwater robot during navigation through an unspecified underwater environment. High frequency oscillations during underwater motion are responsible for nonlinearities in dynamic behavior of underwater robot as well as uncertainties in hydrodynamic coefficients. Reactive behaviors of underwater robot are designed considering the position and orientation of both target and nearest obstacle from robot's current position. Human like reasoning power and approximation based learning skill of neural based adaptive fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) has been found to be effective for underwater multivariable motion control. More than one ANFIS models are used here for achieving goal and obstacle avoidance while avoiding local minima situation in both horizontal and vertical plane of three dimensional workspace. An error gradient approach based on input-output training patterns for learning purpose has been promoted to spawn trajectory of underwater robot optimizing path length as well as time taken. The simulation and experimental results endorse sturdiness and viability of the proposed method in comparison with other navigational methodologies to negotiate with hectic conditions during motion of underwater mobile robot.
The Robogymnast is a triple link underactuated pendulum that mimics a human gymnast hanging from a horizontal bar. In this paper, two multi-objective optimization methods are developed using invasive weed optimization (IWO). The first method is the weighted criteria method IWO (WCMIWO) and the second method is the fuzzy logic IWO hybrid (FLIWOH). The two optimization methods were used to investigate the optimum diagonal values for the Q matrix of the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller that can balance the Robogymnast in an upright configuration. Two LQR controllers were first developed using the parameters obtained from the two optimization methods. The same process was then repeated, but this time with disturbance applied to the Robogymnast states to develop another set of two LQR controllers. The response of the controllers was then tested in different scenarios using simulation and their performance evaluated. The results show that all four controllers are able to balance the Robogymnast with varying accuracies. It has also been observed that the controllers trained with disturbance achieve faster settling time.
This study focuses on a graphical approach to determine the robust stabilizing regions of fractional-order PIλ(proportional integration) controllers for fractional-order systems with time-delays. By D-decomposition technique, the existence conditions and calculating method of the real root boundary (RRB) curves, complex root boundary (CRB) curves and infinite root boundary (IRB) lines are investigated for a given stability degree. The robust stabilizing regions in terms of the RRB curves, CRB curves and IRB lines are identified by the proposed criteria in this paper. Finally, two illustrative examples are given to verify the effectiveness of this graphical approach for different stability degrees.
This paper considers the output tracking problem for more general classes of stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown control coefficients and driven by noise of unknown covariance. By utilizing the radial basis function neural network approximation method and backstepping technique, we successfully construct a controller to guarantee the solution process to be bounded in probability. The tracking error signal is 4th-moment semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) and can be regulated into a small neighborhood of the origin in probability. A simulation example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control scheme.
When a feedback system has components described by non-rational transfer functions, a standard practice in designing such a system is to replace the non-rational functions with rational approximants and then carry out the design with the approximants by means of a method that copes with rational systems. In order to ensure that the design carried out with the approximants still provides satisfactory results for the original system, a criterion of approximation should be explicitly taken into account in the design formulation. This paper derives such a criterion for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) feedback systems whose design objective is to ensure that the absolute values of every error and every controller output components always stay within prescribed bounds whenever the inputs satisfy certain bounding conditions. The obtained criterion generalizes a known result which was derived for single-input single-output (SISO) systems; furthermore, for a given rational approximant matrix, it is expressed as a set of inequalities that can be solved in practice. Finally, a controller for a binary distillation column is designed by using the criterion in conjunction with the method of inequalities. The numerical results clearly demonstrate that the usefulness of the criterion in obtaining a design solution for the original system.

The people of Israel were crying out for a king. As Jesus rode into Jerusalem the people celebrated while they shouted, “Hosanna, Hosanna!” This cry was a cry for salvation. It was a plea to be rescued. Jesus rode into the city as a King who was coming to rescue His people. He came not as a political savior, but as the One who redeems us from our sin.
When Jesus rode into Jerusalem that day, He knew the crowd had an incorrect view of Him. They thought He would only save them from their earthly problems. Jesus wanted them to know that His kingdom and His reign are much bigger and much greater than simply a kingdom on earth. But Jesus did not come as an earthly king on a warrior horse to take down the Roman government. He is God of the universe, the King of Kings, who sacrificed Himself in love to save people from sin and death!
March HOMEFRONT IS AVAILABLE NOW! You can pick up a copy at the Illuminate Check in desk or on the Beginner’s Ministry counter.

Newcastle City Council Leader Nick Forbes, cabinet member for sport, culture and Public Health Kim McGuinness is joined by members of the Friends of Elswick Pool, local school children and ward members who have supported the development of Elswick Pool.
Newcastle City Council Leader Nick Forbes and Councillor Kim McGuinness, cabinet member for culture, sport and public health, will officially hand over the lease to Elswick Community Pool and Leisure Centre charity, who will drive forward the work to bring the pool back to use.
The council has worked closely with the dedicated group of local volunteers, partner agencies and funding bodies to develop a plan that will develop the swimming pool, create a new café and sauna and secure its future. The development of this plan included consultation with over 800 residents – feedback from which helped shape the plans.
The pool, which closed in October 2015, is at the heart of the community and the city council outlined its desire to bring in a community group to operate the building as soon as the closure was announced.
The council will complete work to bring the building back to how it was before the closure, including repairing the roof and water pump before further modernisation is completed by the Elswick Community Pool and Leisure Centre charity.
“I am really pleased to announce that the development of Elswick Pool has reached this vital milestone and that the community group can start bringing the facility back to life.
“This is a celebration of the brilliant work of the local residents and volunteers who have set out ambitious plans and taken a dedicated approach to the development since the closure was announced three years ago.
“Newcastle City Council is keen to work with community groups to support leisure facilities and allow residents, voluntary organisations and charities to step forward and manage these much-loved buildings.
“I believe strongly that creating vibrant neighbourhoods that support all residents, families and visitors to live healthy, active lives is vitally important and has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of the whole city.
“Community interest groups who create workable plans are important in protecting these services.
"We are absolutely delighted at this decision and would like to pay tribute to the 3,500 residents who have backed us all the way in our campaign to get the pool re-opened.
"We are looking forward to working with them, the city council and our partners, in providing a fantastic facility that can be enjoyed again by the whole community."
Friends of Elswick Pool have been supported through funding by Power to Change, the community business arm of the Big Lottery Fund and Centre West, Newcastle’s West End community regeneration business. There has also been financial support from Elswick and Monument Ward Community Funds and a £100,000 crowd funder campaign has been launched by the Elswick Pool group.
Once complete the revamped pool is expected to create over 20 jobs. In addition, 24 lifeguards will be trained in partnership with Newcastle College which has also pledged its support to the development.
The Elswick Pool Community group will manage the day to day running of the pool once it is opened, with support from the team behind Jesmond Pool, a similar model that is being run successfully by Jesmond Community Leisure.
The opening of the pool is expected to take place ahead before the new school year starts in September 2019.
Centre West Partnership Director, Graeme Williams.
"Centre West have worked for the last three years in partnership with the Elswick Community Pool and Leisure Centre group.
"We are proud of the groups achievements to date and look forward to working in partnership to reopen the Pool for the benefit of the whole community as soon as possible."

Great shipping service! I didn't know that Gearbest has a store in Rome too. I ordered the DVR on November 3rd and received it on Novemer 5th.I am really impressed.Regarding the DVR system itself, it is quite easy to install and configure.The only difficult part is running the cable to reach the cameras, but I prefer this solution to the WiFi systems, anyway.The Motion Detection system has too much false positive events, especially during the night when the IR leds are on and all the flies, mosquitos and oter insects are going mad around the camera. There is very little that can be done for this problem. If the place that you are watching is not completely dark, you can turn off the IR leds to get much less false positive events.Very good system for the price, anyway.
it replaced my dahua 5104c.I didn't expect it to be so good!the setup is a breeze, you just scan some qr codes and you have camera view from your phone!the cameras are 3000tvl resolution which is awesome! true HD!the software of the device is quick and the menus are easy.I could not reccomend it enough!
Não foi fácil adquirir este produto, mas após alguns percalços recebi o produto e aconselho a comprar para quem queira um sistema de vigilância residencial.A resolução das cameras é boa e fiquei surpreendido com a imagem nocturna. Em zonas muito escuras a camera não tem qualquer dificuldade em apresentar uma imagem perceptível.O DVR é o que mais me surpreende, porque é versátil e fácil de configurar.
I didn't expect this kind of quality for this low price.Video is fairly good, motion detection do send some false alarms (if light changes or when heavy fog), but for this price i was fairly impressed!
the machine and the cameras are grait the pictuers are more than grait and i recomend it for profetionall use!!

If you have taken a taxi cab in Las Vegas you no doubt have heard the phrase long haul taxi scam. Or maybe you have heard people mention getting long hauled. The scam may also be referred to as being “tunneled”. The long haul taxi scam in Las Vegas entails a cab driver taking you from the airport or to the airport on a longer route than normal in order to charge you more for your ride. If you have prepaid for a limo or shuttle service the long haul does not apply to you.
There are two routes out of McCarran International Airport. Swenson St which turns in Paradise runs somewhat parallel to the strip. You can cross over to the strip via streets like Tropicana. The Tunnels which go under the runways to the south connect to Highway 215. This is why being scammed is sometimes referred to as being tunneled. This route is often twice as long resulting in a larger fare. Take the route below to the Bellagio from Google Maps. The route up Swenson is 3.2 miles while the tunnel route is 7.7 miles.
If you go through the tunnel or end up on a highway south of the airport you are no doubt being long hauled. A recent taxi fair estimator website figures the above ride just over $20. If your ride ends up being much more and traffic is normal you could be a victim of long hauling.
It is important to note that the “tunnel ” can possibly be a legitimate route depending on where you are staying. If you are staying at any of the southern hotels such as the Silverton then the route is preferred. This does not hold true for Mandalay Bay or the Luxor. The same can be said about staying downtown in the Fremont St area. If you are driving downtown you would likely want to take the highway and avoid the strip at all costs.
Depending on the time of day and traffic congestion you may want the tunnel. For example, if you are staying on the north part of the strip like The Mirage or Treasure Island. We have been caught in a couple of traffic snarls heading to Treasure Island / The Mirage. These could have been avoided going the highway route.
Act like you are a season veteran. Use Google Maps like we did above and plot your route out. Familiarize yourself with street names and the possible routes to the hotel. When you get in your taxi at the airport tell them that you want to take Swenson to Tropicana etc. If you tell the cab driver the route you want to go they must follow it.
If you feel you have been long hauled you have options. Some travelers report that they have confronted the cab driver and told them flat out that they are not paying. Calling their bluff. I witnessed this at The Mirage one morning as we were heading back to the airport. A couple was long hauled first thing in the morning and had the bell employees help them confront the driver.

One can get better at their job when they get ultrasound continuing training. After ultrasound continuing education, one can get licensing depending on the requirements of a state. Medical professionals who pay for ultrasound training courses get a text book and a test. Medical professionals who choose to take ultrasound training courses can get the textbook and the test delivered to their location by mail. Some people may not want to get a textbook for ultrasound continuing education, and they can check whether an ebook copy is available for the course training. Instead of getting a textbook with a course one may decide to get the textbook separately and only get the test for ultrasound training. People who are trying to reduce the costs when taking ultrasound continuing education will save some money when they pay for the test only.
Health care professionals may be required to take tests when they want to renew a license and taking ultrasound continuing education training is beneficial.

In a set of mutually exclusive tags, the first tag can be defined as a group tag. When you search for a group tag, it will return matches for all members in the group. In an agenda view, filtering by a group tag will display headlines tagged with at least one of the members of the group. This makes tag searches and filters even more flexible.
In this example, ‘@read’ is a group tag for a set of three tags: ‘@read’, ‘@read_book’ and ‘@read_ebook’.
You can also use the :grouptags keyword directly when setting org-tag-alist, see the documentation of that variable.
If you want to ignore group tags temporarily, toggle group tags support with org-toggle-tags-groups, bound to C-c C-x q. If you want to disable tag groups completely, set org-group-tags to nil.

Standard route along SW ridge of Tincan to 3200′ on ridge above Common Bowl. We toured along South facing slopes the entire way monitoring surface conditions with afternoon warming. The snow was wettest and weakest below 2500′ on steep South aspects. In shady areas on North and West aspects the crust remained firm and supportable. In the upper elevations South aspects had 3-5″ of wet pushable surface snow, but it wasn’t breaking down like the lower elevation areas.
Wet punchy snow on South aspects below 2500' in the afternoons with warming.
Below 2000' South aspects were wet and punchy. Ski pen was 6-10" in some places and boot pen was up to mid thigh at 2:30pm. A stout supportable crust was found on shaded aspects. Surface crust were softening on lower angle oblique SW aspects. As we ascended to 2500' South aspects started becoming less punchy and more supportable with boot pen only 8-10" on steep South aspects. On shaded aspects above 2500' 1cm of loose snow was found on a firm surface crust. This crust was becoming breakable by 2800' and disappeared by 3000'. South aspects between 2500' to the ridge above Common bowl (3200') there was about 2-3" of loose wet surface snow that was easy to start pushing, but did not entrain deeper into the snowpack.
Sun cups were present below 1800' and old rain runnels were seen between 1800' to 2500'.
Firnspiegal was found on SE aspects in the alpine. The avalanche glossary definition: "An ice crust formed on the snow surface on sunny, cold days. The sun's heat penetrates the surface snow layers and causes melt around the grains beneath the surface but meltwater at the surface is refrozen forming a thin layer of ice. This requires just the right heat balance."
Dug two pits at 3200' on Tincan. One on Southeast aspect and the other on North aspect.
Pit 1 - SE aspect, 3200', 22*slope, HS=305cm, Pit HS=100cm, Boot pen=15cm of wet surface snow. See photo diagram. Several melt/free crusts (old sun crusts) were found within the top 18" of the snowpack. Compression Test failed with moderate force just below these crusts, but ECT's had no failure. In both places the weak layer was a density change, no persistent grain types were found.
Pit 2 - North aspect, 3200', 31* slope, HS=275cm, Pit HS=120cm. See pit diagram. Stability tests failed inconsistently between three weak layers in this pit. 2 compression tests failed on a layer of rime particles 30cm below the surface with moderate force. One compression test failed with moderate force on a density change from Pencil to 1 Finger 40cm below the surface on intact stellar. An Extended Column Test also propagated on this layer, but was resistant planar. One compression test failed with moderate force 105cm below the surface on the Jan.21 buried surface hoar and facet layer. This layer was not visible in the pit wall and the hardness difference was 1F- to P above and below.
Surface snow at 1800' was very punch on South facing slopes.
Boot pen at 1800' on S aspect was thigh deep.
You could see firnspiegel from a distance on East and SE aspects in the alpine. See pit diagram 1 for a close up of this thin ice lens.

Do they guide us towards the best path for us?
Feelings come and go, they vary from one extreme to the other - so how can we rely on them?
Fear and nerves are also feelings but is there more involved in that? Is it normal or ok to feel scared and nervous?
Bianca discusses her own relationship with feelings and how she has learnt they really don't matter much! They don't define who we are or what we can do.

What makes our work special and unique is the ease and clarity of our process. Our website shows the details of each step, and you know where your money is going each step of the way. We make lending to a worthy project just a click away. Here is how it works.
1) WAFAA owns a fulfillment database to satisfy the small projects in various fields and various regions. Lenders are then able to select the project they would like to fund, according to the project areas or regions or owners.
2) Once lenders have selected the project, they can choose their method of payment for the amount of the loan, which ranges between $20 to the full value of the project. The methods of payment include different credit cards, PayPal accounts, or any other electronic account.
3) After the completion of the loan amount required for the project from either the lender or group of lenders, WAFAA will send the money to the field partner in the project area, which in turn, delivers the money to the entrepreneur and then follows-up with them at all stages of the project until it is completed.
4) The field partner’s main role is to collect the payments of the loan from the entrepreneur and return it to WAFAA.
5) WAFAA returns the money of the loan to the lenders, according to the repayment schedule agreed upon with the entrepreneur.
6) After the lender has received the full amount of their loan, they can either re-lend it to another project of their choice, donate it to support WAFAA, or simply withdraw their money.

Dental crowns and bridgework have been around in some form since the earliest days of dentistry, and they remain one of the most common and versatile methods available to restore a damaged smile today. Crowns can repair everything from a cavity that is too large for a standard filling, to gaps in your smile from missing teeth. If you are looking for an affordable, effective, and minimally invasive way to fix and improve your smile, dental crowns are a great choice. The dentists at Cox Family & Cosmetic Dentistry offer cosmetic, general, and emergency dentistry services in Jasper, AL.
Losing one or more teeth either from a traumatic accident like a sports injury or from tooth decay or gum disease can be overwhelming, but replacing them with bridgework is simple and straightforward. A bridge is made up of three crowns: one to replace the missing tooth, and two additional crowns which are placed over the teeth on either side of the missing tooth (known as abutment teeth) to keep the crown in place.
It is never too late (or too early) to invest in a beautiful smile and your oral health. Whether you have been living with damaged teeth for years or just a few weeks or months, contact Cox Family & Cosmetic Dentistry by calling 205-384-4000 to schedule an appointment with Dr. James Cox or Dr. Adam Cox today.

This year had over 3,600 attendees, over 1,000 investors and over 400 company presentations. Panels and other meetings at the conference also provide the opportunity to hear from experts about the state of the biotech industry.
If you missed the festivities down in San Francisco, we’re here to fill you in with news from CEOs and experts in the industry on what the future holds for the biotech industry.
Bockman told INN he started the panel on a less than positive sentiment, from grasping the issues the immunotherapy industry has had, and where it was expected to be right now — “particularly combination” studies, he said. But, there has been “tremendous clinical success” from the checkpoint inhibitors with chemo, and “key combination approvals such as Anti-PD-1 agent with an Anti-CTLA-4.” Watch the video or check out the article for more information on Bockman’s take on the industry.
In the interview, Raza Bokhari, FSD’s executive co-chairman, explained the company is known for building the largest indoor hydroponic grow facility for medicinal cannabis. Projected top line revenue for 2019 should be over C$20 million and over C$75 million in 2020 for cannabis.
In May 2018, when the company went public, it raised C$53 million in funds and funneled it back into “strategic investments,” Bokhari said. Part of the investments were with SciCann Therapeutics, based in Israel, and has a network of researchers, academic institutions and medical centers. The company also has clinical trials for cannabinoids in the gastrointestinal tract, in both irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis. Other indications in development could be the cardiovascular system. This partnership also allows FSD to utilize SciCann’s cannabinoid scientific research platform.
Tenax Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TENX) is ready to begin enrolling patients in its pulmonary hypertension clinical trial. Anthony DiTonno, CEO of Tenax, told the Investing News Network about the company’s ongoing trial, the drug and financing. DiTonno said the drug was developed by Orion Pharma in Finland, but is not available in the US. There is also no approved therapy for the indication. Tenax will enroll patients in the Phase 2 trial for pulmonary hypertension this quarter.
Developing this drug began with how the company discovered the modality of pro enzymes. The enzymes have significant direct effects on cancer stem cells, which take on the traits of a stem cell and become “motile and invasive,” he said. This process is why standard therapies don’t always work and the cancer returns, Nathanielsz added.
Curis’ (NASDAQ:CRIS) CEO James Dentzer said 2019 will be the year of multiple data readouts for all three of its drug candidates in the clinic. Dentzer told the Investing News Network the company will present the data at a medical conference, if it’s convenient. Otherwise a top-line data release will be Curis’ next option to share the news with investors. Later, investigators on the trial would follow up with more data at a medical conference.
The company’s three drugs in the clinic are fimepinostat, CA-107 and CA-4948. The first targets a gene called MYC, which Dentzer said which helps cancer cell grow, really fast. “We knock that down, both gene and protein to keep the cancer under control,” he noted. Fimepinostat has US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fast track designation.
In the interview above, Dr. Ralph Kern, chief medical and chief operating officer at Brainstorm, explains that his company’s technology, NurOwn, takes patients’ autologous stem cells and converts them into differentiated cells. The cells are then returned to the patient to “repair and regenerate the nervous system,” he said. The process involves a short procedure to derive the cells from the bone marrow of patients, called a bone marrow aspiration.
The company’s lead program for ALS, in Phase 3 development, is its fourth trial for the program. Taking place at six sites in the US, 200 patients will be enrolled with half currently enrolled. The company expects to finish enrollment by the middle of 2019, and top line data should be released in mid-2020.
With GDC-0084, a drug from Genentech developed specifically for the disease, Garner believes his company has what it takes to fight this unique brain cancer. Last year, the company received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA. This is one of two programs in Kazia’s pipeline, with the other being for ovarian cancer. This second drug was developed in collaboration with Yale University and via Australian research. It works on addressing the resistance and recurrence paradigm of the cancer, where other ovarian cancer drugs fall short.

Lions are deadly predators who possess such wild and ferocious power that man can barely survive an attack by one of these flesh eating cats.
But a little boy in Japan did.
At least with a lot of help from a glass barrier. It was the only thing that separated the boy's tiny body from certain mutilation and death when the lion pounced on the two year old boy with clear intent to kill.
The incident occurred at a zoo in Japan where a little boy of two years old and his family were visiting to see the animals.
The boy, obviously fascinated by the big male lion, went over to its glass covered enclosure to take a closer look.
On seeing the curious boy, the lion leaped down from a rock and crouched some distance away. It was in direct line of vision with the boy, and both stared at each other quietly for a few moments.
But when the boy turned and was about to move away, the 181kg lion who could move at astonishing speeds of up to 50 miles per hour., dashed across the empty space between them in just a matter of seconds and pounced of the boy.
But it ended up smashing its own head into the the glass wall.
The little boy who was dressed in a tiny yellow rain coat, turned at that moment and started in fear at the enormous lion that stood just inches away from him behind the glass barrier.
The barrier was the only thing that saved the boy's life.
Zoo officials have defended the animal saying that it was only trying to play with the boy.
This is a claim that animal experts interviewed completely disagree with.
Experts say that the lion was actually attacking the boy, and if not for the transparent glass barrier, it would have been a different story.
Carelessness at zoos worldwide is on the rise.
Just barely a week ago a 4 year old boy named Isaiah slipped away from his mother and fell into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati zoo.
Harambe the gorilla was shot dead in order to protect the youngster.

This is a list of original characters found in Peter Jackson's film adaptations of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
Ryan Gage as Alfrid in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
Alfrid Lickspittle (portrayed by Ryan Gage) is a cowardly and greedy man who is a government official of the town of Esgaroth and the Master of Lake-town's conniving servant. Ultimately, Alfrid is betrayed by the Master and forced to fend for himself during Smaug's attack on Laketown. After almost getting lynched by the angry survivors, Alfrid ends up working under Bard before fleeing from Dale with some looted gold during the Battle of the Five Armies. Alfrid's ultimate fate is revealed in the extended edition, where he is forced to hide in the sling of a catapult atop a dead troll. As another troll closes in on Gandalf, who is fighting close by, Alfrid panics and accidentally sets off the catapult. This launches Alfrid into the attacking troll's mouth, killing himself instantly while inadvertently saving Gandalf by causing the troll to die from asphyxiation.
Betsy Butterbur, a relative of Barliman Butterbur from The Fellowship of the Ring, appears as a barmaid of The Prancing Pony in the prologue of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, portrayed by Peter Jackson's daughter Katie Jackson.
Richard Whiteside appears as Butterbur Sr.
Bill Ferny, a henchman of Saruman who confronted Frodo Baggins in Bree, was absent from Jackson's Lord of the Rings series. However, his father appears in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug as an assassin hired by Azog to neutralise Thorin at the Prancing Pony. He eyes Thorin from across the room, but when Gandalf introduces himself to Thorin, Bill thinks better of it and leaves the inn without incident. In this adaptation, Ferny Sr. is portrayed by Dallas Barnett.
A Squint-Eyed Southerner appears alongside Bill Ferny at the Prancing Pony in the prologue of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, portrayed by New Zealand actor Matt Smith.
Braga (portrayed by Michael Mitchinson) is captain of the Lake-town Guard, a role held by Bard in the book. Braga and his underlings act as the Master's enforcers and show no regard for Bard and the other common folk. During Smaug's attack on the Lake-Town, Braga and his men abandon the people of the town and instead assist the Master in evacuating his treasures. Braga dies along with the Master as the body of the dead dragon crushes the boat they were trying to escape on.
Hilda Bianca (portrayed by Sarah Peirse) is a woman of Lake-Town, who is among the first to spot the dwarves as Bard leads them through the city and later spreads the news to her neighbors. She holds Master's lackey Alfrid in disdain, refusing him help after the town's destruction by Smaug. During the Battle of the Five Armies she motivates the women and the elders to join their men in the defense of the city of Dale.
Percy (portrayed by Nick Blake) is the gatekeeper of Lake-Town and a friend of Bard. During the destruction of Lake-Town he watches as Bard heroically slays the dragon and later spreads the news among the survivors. He becomes Bard's second-in-command during the Battle of the Five Armies, leading the archers during the defense of Dale. He survives the battle and later sounds the horn that signals the Men's respect for the fallen Thorin Oakenshield during the dwarven king's funeral.
Tilda and Sigrid (portrayed by Mary and Peggy Nesbitt respectively) are the daughters of Bard the Bowman. In Tolkien's legendarium, Bain is the only known child of Bard. In the original script, Tilda was Bard's only daughter and Sigrid was the name of his wife, but Luke Evans requested changing his character to a widower to emphasize greater responsibility for his family.
Tauriel (portrayed by Evangeline Lilly) is a female Elf from Mirkwood and the Chief of the Guards for the Elvenking, Thranduil. She also has a romantic subplot with the dwarf Kili.
Elros (portrayed by Robin Kerr) is an Elf of the Woodland Realm appearing in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. He is a captain of the Woodland Guard, as well as the Keeper of the Keys - he is initially charged with watching the dwarves and is later charged with watching the Front Gate of Thranduil's Halls.
Feren (portrayed by Simon London) is an Elf of the Woodland Realm. In The Desolation of Smaug, after Legolas discovers that Thorin Oakenshield and Company have escaped from their prison cells via wine barrels, he orders Feren to blow the horn and alert the Elves guarding the river, ordering them to close the gate. Later, in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Feren is sent by Thranduil to summon Legolas back to Mirkwood and to inform Tauriel that the Elvenking has banished her from the Realm. He also serves as one of Thranduil's chief lieutenants during the Battle of The Five Armies.
Fatty Bolger - Overweight hobbit and friend of Frodo Baggins omitted from the film adaptation of the Fellowship of the Ring. A character sharing Fredegar's name and appearance appears in the epilogue of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and buys some of Bilbo's furniture from the auctioneer, Mr. Grubb.
Fredegar Chubb (portrayed by Eric Vespe from Ain't It Cool News) is a Hobbit who sells Bilbo a fish at the market in the extended edition of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Vespe was present on set making several reports covering the location shooting and was invited to appear as an extra in Hobbiton scenes. Originally a non-speaking part, Peter Jackson decided to give him a line, promoting his role to that of an actor and requiring to give the character a name.
Master Worrywort (portrayed by Timothy Bartlett) is a hobbit of the Shire and a neighbor of Bilbo Baggins. In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey he briefly appears calling after Bilbo as he is running to catch up with the dwarves. An additional scene in the extended edition shows Bilbo inquiring whether Worrywort had seen a wizard pass by at the market. Worrywort is the first hobbit to greet Bilbo after his return from the journey in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
Fimbul (portrayed by Stephen Ure) is an Orc and Warg rider, who is among Yazneg's orcs as they pursue Thorin's company through the Ettenmoors in An Unexpected Journey. He accompanies Yazneg to Weathertop where Yazneg is killed by Azog for his failure. Fimbul is present among Azog's warg-riders as they corner the dwarves in the fir trees and survives the confrontation with the eagles. In The Desolation of Smaug Fimbul accompanies Bolg in the continuing the pursuit of the dwarves, smelling the ground along the river where the dwarves encountered Bard the Bowman. As part of the Orc party that infiltrates Lake-Town, Fimbul relays back to Bolg that Thorin himself has left and gone to the Lonely Mountain with most of the company from inside a small wooden boat, when another orc jumps down into the boat's opposite end from the balcony above; this launches Fimbul into the air, where his head is removed by the longknives of Legolas.
Grinnah (portrayed by Stephen Ure) is the goblin who introduces the Dwarves to the Great Goblin and is ordered to search through their possessions. He is stabbed through the chest by Kili as the dwarves and Gandalf make their escape.
Narzug (portrayed by Ben Mitchell) is one of Azog's Hunter Orcs. He is taken captive by Legolas and Tauriel in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and brought to the Elvenking's halls, where, after interrogation, he is decapitated by Thranduil.
Ragash is an Orc who relays to Azog that the army is ready to attack on the next day's morning in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Ragash is portrayed by Allan Smith, while Martin Kwok provides his voice.
Yazneg (portrayed by John Rawls) is a fierce Orc lieutenant and second-in-command of Azog's hunter party in An Unexpected Journey. He finds Thorin's Company while they camp at night in the Lone Lands, and he leads the attack of the Hunter Orcs against the party as they flee the Trollshaws. Because of his failure to capture the Dwarves, he is killed by Azog at the top of Weathertop, his body thrown to the Wargs.
The goblin scribe (portrayed by Kiran Shah) is a tiny goblin with a brief appearance as a scribe and messenger for the Great Goblin in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

EPA administrator admits that Cap-n-Trade will NOT affect climate change!
This is fantastic. EPA administrator Lisa Jackson testifies before the United States Senate committee regarding the proposed energy bill. Senator Barrasso asks this woman is she agrees with the Washing Post Article that debunks the myth that this legislation will affect climate change.
Lisa Jackson will have more power than the president once this bill passes so you need to pay attention to how slick this woman is. She never answers the question and her non answer is very telling.

How many Volts in a Tahoe?
Ah yes, this one and Romer: the queens of the non answer. This is almost as deceptive as the refusal to debate AGW.
One good thing that comes of this story: the Washington Post is on the case, which means that the program is so bad that even the liberal media has problems with it!
Can the NYTimes be far behind? LOL! I won't hold my breath!
As we all know, this bill isn't about "global warming"(our planet has been cooling for the past several years),and,it isn't about "climate change",whatever the heck that is, other than a "fall back-feels good" phrase, because "global warming" has now been disproven.
The government gets to "sell" the air we breathe, by what right I don't know, so Washington can continue to spend, spend, spend, when most of us are wondering whether we will have a job tomorrow. And, if we do have a job, we wonder how will we be able to pay for this "feels good" tax.
As for Lisa Jackson, she spews the party line, cuz that's what she is told to do. If she leaves there will be another party "hack" to spew the same junk.

In recent years the people of Africa have continued advancing and moving forward democratic governance in an important number of countries of the region. Today, more and more people in that continent enjoy freedoms and rights, a precondition for progress, development and peace.
Members of the Socialist International in a good number of countries in Africa have been protagonists and actors of an era of change that has been bringing new opportunities and a new face to the political life of the continent. Nevertheless, authoritarianism, oppression and other evils of the past still linger in the political life of some of the countries in the region. In some cases this has led to open conflicts, or at the very least to a culture of political stagnation, despite the growing collective consciousness that democracy is the only way forward.
The presidential election held in Uganda this past weekend which retained Yoweri Museveni in power is unfortunately an example of those negative cases. Elections in which opposition candidates are oppressed, social media is shut down, the main contender from the opposition is arrested several times during the campaign and the electoral process is flawed with disruptions and irregularities, cannot and should not be accepted. Added to that, Uganda has for some years now, been managed by Museveni as if it were his private domain.
Uganda has definitely joined the list of countries in Africa where there exists a greater contrast with those that, despite a troubled history of colonisation and unfair economic international relations, have managed to achieve multiple democratic gains in current political developments in Africa. Definitely, people throughout the continent, as other members of the international community, should stand up today for the rights of the Ugandan people. We in the Socialist International are firmly on their side.

Barack Obama waxed not-so-poetic about late term abortion, the federal abortion ban and the validity of mental health exceptions in said ban to the Christian magazine Relevant last week, telling the interviewer that states should have the right to restrict or ban late term abortions. And Obama made no bones about the fact that, as he sees it, "mental distress" should not qualify as a threat to "the health of the mother". He was referring to the health exceptions the Supreme Court has deemed unnecessary in order to ensure the constitutionality of the (medically-ambiguous-at-best term) "partial birth abortion" ban ignoring the health exceptions explicitly required in Roe v. Wade and its "companion" ruling, Doe v. Bolton.
RH Reality Check: Does Sen. Obama support any restrictions on abortion, or does he believe it should be entirely up to women?
Obama supports those restrictions that are consistent with the legal framework outlined by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade.
Roe v. Wade allows the law to consider a woman's mental health as well as her physical health when making decisions about late term abortion. Presumably, therefore, Obama should support the mental health exception as presented in Roe v. Wade. But that's not what his recent comments suggested to many reporters, journalists and media outlets.
The mainstream, progressive and conservative news media all went ballistic. The Baltimore Sun asked if Obama was for "weakening Roe v. Wade?" The Bay Area Indymedia shouted, "Anti-Abortion Obama -- He Gets Worse by the Minute" while over at The National Review online, Ramesh Ponnuru's sarcastically titled post, "Obama on Abortion (For Now)" takes the Senator to task for still not being anti-choice enough (what? Obama thinks there should be any exceptions for the woman's health when it comes to late term abortion?!).
"Senator Obama [...] recognizes that some people view these health exceptions not as exceptions, but as a way around these restrictions. Senator Obama believes that while 'mental distress' should not be covered by a health exception, there will be cases where carrying to term a pregnancy may seriously damage a woman's mental health and those cases should be covered. He believes that we can craft well-defined health exceptions -- as pro-choice legislators have tried in Congress and in state legislatures -- that address those concerns and fully protect women's health."
What is the truth about Obama's position on this issue?
Did Obama's statements reveal his real stance on abortion access and rights for women? Or was it a political misstep, kow-towing to the religious media and telling the young, twenty-something readers of the Christian magazine what they wanted to hear? Maybe Barack Obama just hasn't thought this through to the degree that he needs to.
Remember McCain's embarrassing spate of ignorance last year when grilled by a reporter about contraception/condoms and HIV transmission? He was, in his own words, "stumped" and told the reporter he didn't know his position because he wasn't "informed enough about it."
But what should we make of Obama's statements last year in response to the Supreme Court decision allowing the federal abortion ban to remain?
Less than one year ago, Obama was standing firmly against any state restrictions on late term abortion. Less than one year ago, Obama did not differentiate between respecting a woman's physical medical concerns and her mental and emotional concerns. There was no mention then that the very personal decisions between a doctor and a patient should stand only if politicians deem them correct decisions.
Where is the truth now?
The "truth" that I'm looking for from Barack Obama, from John McCain, from all of our politicians -- is not the one truth about these issues but their own truths.
Does Barack Obama now honestly believe that a small percentage of the already tiny percentage of women who undergo late term abortions, those who, under the advice of a skilled physician, decide that a D&X is the safest procedure, if a heart-wrenching one, for them, are somehow not broken enough to receive one?
More to the point: does Barack Obama's truth point him towards erring on the side of giving women less control over their own health and bodies, while giving government more?
Does Barack Obama's truth allow him to accept the politically-created, medically meaningless term "partial birth abortion" as he speaks to the upholding or creation of laws based on the term?
I want Obama to understand what an utterly pointless distraction this entire issue is. I want him to realize how sweetly and utterly he has played into the hands of those who want only to entrap him in political sport where the only winners are the leaders of the anti-choice organizations who originally created the term "partial birth abortion;" the leaders who insist on pushing presidential candidates into a mindless corner in which they must endlessly discuss medical procedures that should be the domain of physicians and their patients.
Many have already argued and will argue brilliantly, from places both personal and professional, the importance of mental health exceptions in any abortion ban, patiently describing to Senator Obama why his declaration is wrong, that only "serious mental health complications" (and not, as he puts it "just feeling blue") should be legally accepted as the golden key to the medical exception passageway on the way to a late term abortion.
I choose only to ask Barack Obama to resist the urge to play the game that will get him nowhere. Last year Barack Obama told an interviewer that he supported the choice position because he "trusts women to make a prayerful decision."
I'm going to ask Barack Obama to do the same.

2. A new Lacrosse season is set to begin.
Down comes the dusty lacrosse equipment from the cluttered rack of various sporting equipment and in its place goes the goalie equipment until late August when hockey season starts back up again.
Our child fell in love with this sport from the very first time he stepped on the arena floor for his first practice. The hitting, slashing, running were some of the things that he enjoys about the game. At any given time he can be seen in our kitchen on the family computer watching replays of old LAX games on YouTube or Lax Hi-Lite’s on Twitter. He takes what he has observed and try's to emulate the same moves practicing outside in the backyard.
So when my wife and I are asked, what's his favorite sport?
Our answer is we're not sure? He likes both sports equally.
To make it more simple, we say, "hockey is 1-A and lacrosse is 1-B."
Most people put their kids into lacrosse to help with the development of their child’s shooting, stamina, and toughness for when the hockey season begins. We were different; we initially put our son into the game because his friends were playing and he wanted to play with them on the same team. We didn’t realize it at the time but those same skill sets that have helped his teammates have also helped him – as a hockey goalie.
So How Has Lacrosse Helped?
Both Field and Lacrosse sports require a lot of running during the game, and as a result, this has allowed our child to build up his stamina and conditioning. With both schedules, he was playing an average of 3-4 times a week including both practices and games. He was able to be in top shape going into the hockey season last year and had the advantage over other goalies who didn’t participate in an off-season activity.
My wife and I decided that our child would play out as a player and not play as a goalie when he signed up for lacrosse. Some of our reason's being; we didn't want him to get bored of the "position" of being a goalie. We wanted him to experience a different position other than being in the net. If he played out, he could be part of the "action" with his teammates. He would learn and better understand the thought process of being a "player" and know what it's like to set up "plays" and make "passes" during a game. Something he wouldn't get if played in goal for the lacrosse season.
Playing both styles of games (field & box) has done wonders with his hand/eye coordination development. He has learned to “receive” and “give” passes while in full stride with his head up. On the flip side, he has learned to "track" the hockey puck so much better as a result and keep his level of concentration for longer periods of time.
At the Novice Rep level, the goalie glove is more like a second blocker. As the season wore on you could see he was becoming more and more comfortable making saves with his goalie glove. When the kids started shooting high for the top corners, he was able to track the puck and catch it with ease. We attribute this improvement to the passing and catching the lacrosse ball when moving up and down the floor during lacrosse practices and games.
When you play lacrosse, you’re going to get hit, that's a given! Whether it's a cross check to the back or arms, a slash to the wrists or back, it's going to hurt. But this great sport teaches you to "receive a hit" as well as to "deliver a hit” and most importantly to "anticipate" a hit when it's coming.
He didn't seem to be bothered when kids would wind up for a slap shot or wrist shot, 4-5 feet away, as they were letting one "rip" and having it buzz by his head. At this age, you see young goalies at the last second turn their heads or duck when they see the wind up for a shot. We attribute this to learning to how “hard” the passes can be in lacrosse that are coming from teammates or having to block a shot by the opposition. Getting hit several times by a lacrosse ball, hurts, and stings! But after a while, he got used to it, and this took the fear out of getting hit by the ball, likewise in hockey, with the puck.
He learned to defend "the house" in lacrosse which he has carried this over into hockey and has taught him that there will be a lot of action around his crease. The activity around the net can get very hectic with players from both teams so close to together fighting for the puck. Many times during a game the opposition would come through crashing the net or screening him. It does bother him, but it did not intimidate him.
Getting slashed and hit is part of the game. He learned how to push guys out of the crease using his blocker and glove and using his goalie stick like his lacrosse stick to slash guys on the ankles or the back of the shins to make space to see the potential shot.
Look up and down any rep roster, and you will see a high percentage of players will have played competitive lacrosse during the offseason. Close to 50% our son’s hockey team made up the roster for his box and field lacrosse teams. The sport of Lacrosse has allowed him to develop friendships with his group of friends and memories that will last a lifetime. They learn together what it’s like to be around teammates and to go through the highs of winning and the lows of losing together as a team.
We like how our child has received some early exposure to the First Nations culture by participating in this game. This will only serve him well as he gets older in his social, education, and sports activities.
As parents, we don't know the first thing about lacrosse, and after watching our son play the past few years, I don't think we will ever will (LOL!!). We just want him to have fun playing a game that he loves participating in. One thing for sure we do know if our child weren't playing lacrosse, he would not have benefited from acquiring these skills that allowed him to use them with success in hockey.
While other great sports, such as, baseball, soccer, and rugby have their own set of skills that are useful and beneficial for hockey, in our humble opinion, the game of lacrosse provides the most skill sets of all the sports mentioned that can be transferred to the game of hockey.
In the meantime if you have any comments or questions please feel free to contact us anytime to discuss.

We arrive in Hobart on the last day of the year 2015 – December 31st. Our accommodations for the next two nights are at “19 Blue” in Kingston, just outside of Hobart. We find our pleasant accommodation and settle in before heading into Hobart for our special New Year’s Eve celebrations.
We are attending “Taste of Tasmania” which is taking place on the Hobart harbor, the center of town. Although otherwise free, “Taste of Tasmania” is only open to ticket holders on New Year’s Eve. We had purchased our seats online when they were first made available in November. By December, I am pretty sure that they were all sold out. It turned out to be a pleasant evening, weather-wise, and we are looking forward to sampling much of the delicious food and drink that Tasmania is known for.
Taste of Tasmania at the Harbour – notice the racing yachts in the background.
Oysters are the number one most popular item at this time of year in Tasmania, as they are exceptional – very creamy in texture. The mussel pate’ was unusual but delicious. We ate every last bit of it.
We take in the early fireworks at 9:30 and decide to call it a night. We are such old fogeys!
The next day the weather turns rainy and we use it as an excuse to veg out in the morning. I do a little laundry. After the weather clears a little, we head back into Hobart to meander the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and explore the harbor and city.
We are also in Hobart at the same time that the final sailboats/yachts are arriving at the finish of the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Australians love their sports and sporting events and this exciting yacht race rivals the Melbourne Cups (horse race) and the Australian Open (tennis) in interest. The 628 nautical mile course of the Yacht Race is often described as the most grueling long ocean race in the world, and the weather this year provided some drama. There were 108 boats entered, with 28 from international countries, including the first ever Chinese yachts.
At this same time, there is also another sailing race happening. January 1st – We see the sailboats circling in the harbour, waiting for the signal to leave. They are sailing northward, against prevailing winds, to the Airlie Beach, Queensland. After that they head up into Asian waters, before sailing to the States, through Panama, and then home to London, England, where they began.
I take a look at these boats where participants will live for 11 months in close quarters (without showering) and over rough seas, and I can’t conceive of doing such a thing. But I love the spirit of adventure.
It is late in the afternoon on New Year’s Day so the streets are empty. But when we return tomorrow for one of the most famous markets in Australia, Salamanca area will be packed out with people trying to navigate among over 300 stalls of quality food and artisan items.
We didn’t go to the services here, but we had to applaud the imagination of the team that came up with this advertisement.
The greenhouse holds some unusual plants and orchids.
This park is so lush and green and the trees grow to a tremendous height. Occasionally one gets a view of the harbour and then a peak at the mountains.
There was so much to see here at the gardens, including a Sub Antarctic Plant House, and also this beautiful Japanese Garden.
A Japanese garden is an expression of Shinto worship of nature. Stone signify security, permanence, and age. Evergreen trees highlight constancy and deciduous trees highlight changing seasons. The cycles of nature are demonstrated by the waterwheel and waterfalls represent freedom and movement, ponds mean tranquility.
The highlight was the beautiful Monet-like water lily pond with different colors of water lilies, and surrounded by beautiful pastel flowers. Stunning!
I wished we could have stayed longer. We never got a chance to take any walks along the coast here. Sandy Beach, which lies between our Kingston suburb and Hobart beaches, restaurants, and lots of walks. We stopped at an interesting gun tower, but never did climb to the top. The entry fee was expensive and we were short on time. Still, it was a little reminder that not too long ago, this was a place of guns, fortresses, jails, and convicts.
I thought that the information given on the sign is interesting enough to give you an excerpt.
The next few days will be spent exploring the region south of Hobart, including the Huon Valley and Bruny Island. See you there!

Walmart - If you are white good luck with customer service.
I tried to switch out a wrong size pair of jeans at 3:10am and was told I could not do it because the Manager was on her lunch break. I got the new pair and left the first pair (the exact brand and style) on the counter at customer service.
When I got the the door Chrissy asked to see my receipt and refused to return it until i handed her the new pants. She refused to interrupt the Managers break but was ready to call the police which I encouraged her to do. When I finally got a white Manager Dianne involved on the phone from home an hour later I got it handled but I was hung up on 9 or 10 times during that hour trying to speak to a manager. I have all of this recorded and documented on my Cell phone as well.
I tried to call all the way home and was repeatedly hung up on. I have shopped at this store since it was built and have never had such a problem. As I was leaving one of your other employees in the parking lot was trying to start something with me on the way to my car.
If you doubt what happened look at your security tapes. This store is a customer service nightmare, at least if you are white.
I didn't like: Employees attitudes.
Review #929439 is a subjective opinion of PissedConsumer929439.
You don't say which one, but I am with you. If you are white, their employees ignore you and are just downright rude. I use the self-checkout now - it has more personality.
You have to remember, this is WalMart! Customer service is an unknown quantity at most of their stores. Best to always avoid them whenever possible.

Somehow, somewhere, deep down, in the middle of the solar plexus, but maybe deeper, we all knew the famous, and then infamous, "25 Things List" that dominated Facebook a few months back would return, one day.
Like the swallows and the seasons, it was too powerful and eternal of a force to not return.
Even if you didn't participate in the monthlong-ish meme by compiling your own list of "25 Things," you probably delighted in/loathed reading the all-about-me rosters of your pals. Missing those halcyon days?
In recent weeks we've seen the flipside of the "25 Things List" gaining traction on the ol' FB: the "How Well Do You Know *Your Name Here*?" quiz.
In other words, now our friends aren't offering us tidbits of their lives; they are asking us to report back to them on our knowledge of their personal tidbits.
Are we up to the challenge, America? So far, we're seeing scores of 40 to 50 percent coming back as friends take other friends' tests. "Hmm" might sum it up best. Just hmm.
Maybe the questions are too difficult? Too focused on minutia? We'd be surprised if even our nearest and dearest can even exactly pinpoint our hair color or height. So, a recommendation: make the questions less hard. And if you do create a challenging quiz, and your pals who take it score on the low side, it might be time to schedule a few more lunches together.
A positive side effect, perhaps. Facebook creating more face time.

I thought about exporting image with my floor plan to roomstyler, because at an angle of architecture this program gives me many more posibilities, than roomstyler, although I like it too. I wouldn`t like people to think that the floor plans i make here in floor planner are for sale, because I`m still learning and doing it for fun, or to have something to do something. Question, if i added photos, and after downloaded the image of my house with backyard and scenery, could I use these images in roomstyler as a other scenery to the plans i`m going to make in roomstyler in the future. This is my doubt, cause I seem to read something about it in manual of floor planner.
In Roomstyler you can set your rooms to private, floorplans that are exported to roomstyler are not connected to the floorplanner project, but stand alone. If you export them, you will not export everything, only the walls doors and windows.
What you can do is furnish your room in roomstyler and create photorealistic renders from that room. Then download these images and import them in the media-tool in floorplanner.
You may also want to check out the roomstyler manual, it works a bit differently than floorplanner.

A week ago the free Inception iPhone App was introduced. It’s a project by the movie’s director Christopher Nolan, Michael Breidenbrücker and Hollywood’s star composer Hans Zimmer. As an absolute Hans Zimmer fan I tried it out immediately and I must admit, it is intriguing. It uses augmented sound through the iPhone’s headset to change the “dream” your are experiencing which is underlined by music composed by Hans Zimmer.
This app is a dream machine that transforms the world around you into a dreamworld. It uses augmented sound to induce dreams through the headset of your iPhone and iPod Touch. It will change your perception of reality.
Inception The App transports Inception The Movie straight into your life. New dreams can be unlocked in many ways, for example by walking, being in a quiet room, while traveling or when the sun shines. You will get realtime musical experiences, featuring new and exclusive music from the Inception soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer.
Apple has introduced a new software tool for developers: iAd Producer. It enables anyone to create iAd banners without any coding experience. The tool is available to members of the iOS developer program.
It’s really easy to create simple iAds with this tool. The most parts can be completed with just drag and drop and minimal additional configuration. The tool comes with a nice user interface and a good visual representation of the iAd’s walkthrough.
You can easily add iPhone apps from the itunes store for purchase in the iAd. All you need to do is insert the application id from the store. iAd Producer inserts the icon, description and screenshots on its own. Of course you can add any other itunes store content but I guess this is a nice way to promote your apps.
It just takes a few minutes and you can see your iAd live on your iPhone. You need the iOS SDK installed on your machine to preview the app on the iPhone simulator or you can preview the iAd in any web browser since it is based on HTML5.
Although I really appreciate this tool and everything looks nice, comes with smooth animation and works as advertised, I must admit it looks nothing like a real cool iAd out of the box. I suppose for some supreme quality iAd you still have to do things manually after all. Luckily within in iAd Producer you can.
This tool really is a great start. I can’t wait to see iAds in action in Germany. According to Apple’s announcement, iAd is coming to Germany in January 2011 with some major brands signed already. If you want to be ready, try out iAd Producer for yourself.
Until now there are only English and Spanish packages available, so it does not come in handy in Germany but more languages seem to be in the making.
Looking through the web for some Apple news, I stumbled upon a cutout of a Steve Jobs cubee. A guy named Jay Hauf provides an iconic template at his Flickr profile.
Isn’t he cute? I think so. Finally I have a playmate for my plush Steve Jobs puppet I bought at PodBrix many months ago. I am sure you remember seeing it on the web as well. For 30 € it sure was the best geek investment of my lifetime. Unfortunately the item is no longer available.
Here is what they look like together. They do make quite a team, don’t you think? So why don’t you create your own Steve Jobs cubee?
The first Unreal Engine-powered game for iOS, Infinity Blade, has sold at least 274,000 copies in its first five days on sale, according to recent player counts on Game Center. At $6 a copy that’s a $1.64 net for the publisher, and a new record, according to Gamesindustry.biz.
Not so shaby at all. I suppose there is real money to be made in the app store. The full story can be read at gamesindutry.biz but you need to register for free to read the whole article. Meanwhile I will keep on playing the game.
I know it is already old news, but I really like the nerdy t-shirts from Last Exit to Nowhere. They really create stuff for the more discerning film fanatic.
We collaborate to create unique T-shirts that pay homage to the most memorable places, companies and corporations in cinema history.
Of course there is HAL 9000, the the sentient computer of the Discovery One spacecraft in Arthur C. Clarke’s fictional Space Odyssey saga.
Mostly appreciated are the Cyberdyne and Skynet shirts inspired by the 1984 James Cameron film The Terminator.
In addition one should not miss the Venkman Stantz Spengler Paranormal Studies shirt. Bill Murray would love to have one, I am sure. Of course, this tee is inspired by the 1984 film Ghostbusters, written by Dan Aykroyd.
There is more in the Dany Aykroyd corner as well. As a fan of The Blues Brothers, one cannot go on living without endorsing Ray’s Music Exchange.
So, feel free to take a look for yourself. For about 20 € there certainly is something you can’t live without.
It’s finally happening. As announced in September 2010, Epic Games brings the Unreal Engine 3 to the iOS platform. Until today, there only was a Unreal showcase application called Epic Citadel. In this app nothing is happening at all. One can just explore a castle realm. It looks nice with lots of animation amazing visuals and textures. It sure has the best graphics on the iOS platform. Since today one can buy the first full game Infinity Blade for just 4,99 €.
Infinity Blade is the all-new action RPG sword-fighting game for iPhone®, iPad™ and iPod touch® developed by Epic Games’ award-winning studio, ChAIR Entertainment. The first mobile game powered by Epic’s cutting-edge Unreal Engine 3 technology, Infinity Blade takes handheld gaming to new heights with gorgeous visuals, adrenaline-fueled battles and advanced character progression in a fully 3D castle realm.
TouchArcade reviewed the app quite intensively and describes it as a “must have”. I am not into this particular kind of game, but I needed to see this graphics in action. The game has a decent game center integration and promises to bring a multiplayer mode soon. I really like the concept of game center and hope to see interesting competing modes to arise from it. Infinity Blade really looks amazing and runs quite smoothly on my iPhone and my iPad. Remembering the poor graphics on a desktop machine in the 1990ies, playing games like Half-Life, Unreal Tournament and Counterstrike, I never imagined to see even that kind of performance on a mobile device. So from this perspective I agree that Infinity Blade is a must see. I can’t wait to see more games with high end graphics on the iOS platform.
Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac? No thanks.
That means your home Macs can be protected automatically in-the-background with the latest anti-virus protection, checking every program you run, every file you download, every USB stick you insert, completely free. Is there a catch you’re wondering? Well, nope! There isn’t!
But as it turns out, it is a disappointment as well. I admit it is just a security tool, but the look and feel alone is a flashback to the last decade and not really the desired pitch. In addition I feel that it is a lousy piece of engineering when it comes to process management. Like any other anti-virus software it consumes huge amounts of CPU power. Of course this is already a known issue, but nothing is happening. For automatically protecting my machine in-the-background I am not willing to reduce its power to the point where I can’t browse the web anymore.
It feels like anti-virus software for Windows performed in the 1990ies. I suppose porting Windows software to the Mac just doesn’t cut it anymore. There maybe sufficient reasons for the necessity of a anti-virus software on the Mac but as long as they perform like this, I have to get by without it. I just have to limit my contacts to Mac users only. I don’t want to get involved with Windows users anyway.
As I mentioned LCARS (Library Computer Access/Retrieval System) for the iPad in my blog entry recently (Star Trek on the got… iCARS for iPad), it became obvious: I am into Star Trek. Reviving the passion from my childhood, I was looking for a LCARS theme for my gmail account. As it turns out, there is none. Disappointed by the certain lack of enthusiasm of google engineers and other willing google users to accommodate my desire, I almost lost my faith in nerds and geeks around the world… but I found something amazing instead.
There is this guy, Bracer Jack, who is willing to do anything that pays the bills. And this is what he did: He created a LCARS GuideLine, a LCARS Manifesto and of course he is working on a tricorder as well. Not only does he explain what a decent LCARS has to look like, he even takes it further, suggesting LCARS could be 3D. This actually seems reasonable to me. It’s just a holographic version of LCARS. I am sure Lt. Cmdr. Data would have liked that. Take a look for your self.
Also he used augmented reality technologies to show very promising results. You can try it out for yourself within his LCARS Guideline article or have a look below.
I couldn’t stress this enough, if you are a die hard “LCARS is pretty” fan that couldn’t care less about the intellectual deployment side, please stop reading now and move on, there is nothing here that will please you, this is not a good source if you just want to create a pretty LCARS web site or something just pretty for its own sake.
So, if you really want to know where the LCARS evolution should be going, take a look for yourself and find out if you’re are a real LCARS aficionado. If not, you might just like to have a tricorder of your own. Feel free to admire the development of Bracer Jack’s tricorder project.
In the end, I am not sure wether any of this pays any bills at all, but I highly appreciate Bracer Jacks’ efforts and his appreciation for Star Trek. Thank you Bracer Jack for brightening my day.
Using Apple’s wireless keyboards and mouses keeps annoying me with the need for new batteries in the most inconvenient situations, such as sunday afternoon when there is no place to get new ones. Obviously rechargeable batteries would be an option but it never quite worked out with my Apple peripherals before.
Still, I want the most energy-efficient way to power my accessories. As advertised, the new Apple Battery Charger might just do the trick.
Introducing the first battery charger designed by Apple. It charges quickly and uses energy wisely. And it comes withs six AA batteries, so you’ll alway have plenty of power for your wireless Mac accessories.
I don’t really know if it is the promised “More charges. Less waste.” “The Smarter way to charge”, nore can I varify it in any way. Fact is, it is not important because what gets my attention in the end is “It’s a beautiful fit.”. It is the most beautiful battery charger around for sure. Just google “battery charger” and you will know what I am talking about.
One could argue, it is not really important what the charger looks like because it is hidden away behind the desk anyway but I prefer the hidden spots to look nice as well. So for just 29,99 € you get something nice for your other power supplies and cables to hang out with.

We are passionate about introducing children to the countryside, and believe that the younger children come to love being outside, the more likely they will be to care about the environment as they grow up. Our Big Owls started with graduates from Little Owls, and runs periodically in the holidays and at weekends.
As with Little Owls, we head outside for at least half of every session, and our activities are seasonally focused, for example hunting for frogs in late winter, minibeasting in the summer, harvesting vegetables in the autumn, following a snowflake trail in the woods in the winter. Arts and crafts activities and stories or poems complement each session, as do themed cookies from our kitchen!
It's feeding time down on the farm. Come and help us around the farm for a fun and busy hour of feeding! Our goats, sheep, chickens, pigs and all our animals can't wait to see you!
Come and join us to go hunting for minibeasts. Underground, under logs and stones! Come and have a dig and search for the smallest creatures on our farm!
Parents, grandparents and carers enjoy their time with us too, and all activities are lead by experienced staff.
Many children stay with us for two years, so book early to make sure of a place! School holidays and occasional weekends, 10.00 - 12.00 or 1.00 - 3.00.

I’ve been whale watching before…but I’ve never seen anything like this.
While Eric Mouellic, a French tourist, was on a whale-watching tour off the coast of Quebec, his boat saw a huge finback in the distance.
This is all I have in response — and I don’t even wear glasses.

When asked what JRPG they'd love to "Westernize," two of the leads at Obsidian Entertainment chose the 1994 SNES classic Chrono Trigger.
Many of the folks at Obsidian have a long and storied pedigree of working on Western RPGs, from tenures at Black Isle working on Fallout 2 and Planescape: Torment to their time at Obsidian with Knights of the Old Republic II and the upcoming Fallout: New Vegas. Speaking with Siliconera about their work on the recently-announced Dungeon Siege 3, however, two Obsidian higher-ups discussed RPGs from the other side of the Pacific.
According to Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart, the developer had been in talks with JRPG giant Square-Enix for quite some time - which is how they'd been tapped to make Dungeon Siege. "We were talking to Square for quite awhile," said Urquhart, "You make RPGs, we make RPGs, it would be great to see what we could do together. And they really wanted to start getting into Western RPGs. And, so it kind of all ended up fitting together."
When asked what other Square-Enix franchise they might want to work on, however, Urquhart and lead designer Nathan Chapman agreed on the seminal Chrono Trigger. "[Across] everything that I played I would have to go with Chrono Trigger. I think Chrono Trigger was one I really enjoyed."
Of course, then the question is: How do you make it into a Western RPG? "I think we're going with Chrono Trigger because it has elements of a Western RPG. It's more open, it's still mostly linear, but there are parts you can explore more," said Chapman, praising the game's multiple endings and ability to fight the final boss at pretty much any moment after an early checkpoint.
"I think it would be fun to take the setting of a Japanese RPG, which is a weird mix of fantasy and sci-fi mashed together and make a Western RPG out of that," elaborated Urquhart. "I think that would be cool. I mean it's kind of Star Wars, that's kind of what Star Wars is a fantasy in space. I think that would be interesting."
I think it would be interesting too, Feargus. It also helps that Chrono Trigger is, in this writer's humble opinion, one of the best games ever made by anyone anywhere. So more Chrono Trigger is always a good thing.
Though I can't help shake the feeling that an Obsidian-developed Trigger would actually give Crono a voice. And that would just be wrong.
I'd still play it, though.

Industry tech giants Sony, Nikon, Foxconn, Scenera, and Wistron have entered into a partnership. Creating a new alliance that is now known as the Network of Intelligent Camera Ecosystem Alliance; otherwise known as the NICE alliance.
The alliance was formed, Evil Genius-esque nomenclature notwithstanding, with the goal of creating an ecosystem that could effectively give smart cameras Android-like compatibility through new standards and a shared cloud infrastructure.
To summarise; the NICE alliance could serve to provide many big changes to the industry. The first is a shared AI infrastructure of all smart cameras on the cloud. This would enable smart cameras to access third-party apps that aren’t necessarily created or designed by the camera’s manufacturer.
The second point would be a greater inclusion of third-party developers who could potentially develop software that further enhances a smart camera’s functionality over time.
With both the first and second point in mind, this could also mean that users would also be able build security systems with a variety of different camera brands; allowing users to record, store, and access video that were made using the same app.
Thirdly, the formation of the alliance could also lead to a push for forward compatibility for smart cameras. This means that, like a smartphone, a smart camera’s usefulness can be extended through software updates.
The idea put forward by the alliance is sound, but what it doesn’t address is the cost-effectiveness of the idea, and the initial cost of the hardware itself, should and when this idea follow through. On that note, Lee said that he expects the first NICE alliance product to hit the market by the first half of 2019.

The basic equation of ‘enterprising’ is to manufacture the product and then successfully sell it at a price which is higher the cost of all inputs combined. This equation is fairly simple and every entrepreneur starts with the same in mind. However, these days we find a visible concept of the ‘free product’ – something that runs in antagonism to the above stated equation. Although the concept of giving freebies is as old as the economy, this new concept of ‘free product’ has been developed with fine analysis and affects business growth and prospects in more than one ways. Precisely speaking, intricately developed free product strategies are capable enough to lift the sales and turn stagnation into growth trajectory! Let see how powerful techniques for customer acquisition is ‘giving away a free product’ and how brands can turn ‘free’ into paid?
Doling out a free product, especially after the new product launch could be beneficial from the point of marketing! People getting the new product turn up as the reviewers and, if the brand has successfully demonstrated the quality, then these people would behave as the brand ambassadors for sure.
This fact pertains to the human perception that when a product is being offered for free then people tend to buy more. This is especially true in the case when there is an offer like ‘buy 1 get 1’ or ‘buy 2 get 1’ and the like. People try to accumulate greater benefit through more than one transaction just because they get a similar product free.
More ‘value’ perception as compared to when discounts are given!
When a product is offered for free then people value it more than when it is discounted. This is also a fact related to the mental perception of things in competition and comparison dimensions.
After building a positive thought and perception about the (new) product, they are willing to pay more for the same product.
When a product is added as a freebie then the sales of parent product is also found to increase – one of the oldest equations of freebies!
Free product inspires quick gossiping and eWoM development through the users of the free product. If quality is assured, then this transforms into branding.
All these ‘free product’ strategies culminate into paid sales at later stage thus earning fat revenues for the company.
Here Are The Strategies That Can Help Saas Startup To Generate Quick Turnover!
Startup firms have to struggle on more than one parameter. Their operations are nascent and need stability through trusted links with the suppliers, distributors, customers and others. Low finances are another constraint that pulls back quick expansion attempts by the startups. SaaS (software as a service) startup is a niche in the services spectrum of the economy. The demand for software products and apps is high and many countries/regions of the world have developed fine competencies in this segment. However here also, SaaS startups face constraints that are defined by the specific factors! Over competition is one such constraint. Here is a discussion on the strategies that can help SaaS startup to generate a quick turnover.
It is essential to note that in the case of startups in the niche of SaaS, the use of outbound marketing strategies prove less useful because the customers cannot be approached through wider anonymous channels. In such case, there would be more spending while customer acquisition would be much less. Devising specific inbound marketing strategies could be very beneficial and leveraging the power of martech through the web is what is required! Here are the dimensions that can be utilized for generating quick customer base and turnover for a SaaS startup.
For the startup firms, the most significant requirement is the customer acquisition. This is dealt in the segment of CRM where the firm should try to productively manage the existing and potential customers. The SaaS startup should identify and work on the leads of potential customers.
Content marketing proves very useful; for the SaaS, the segment has educated customers that are also curious whether or not a particular software suite/app would fulfill their operational requirements. Engage in content marketing to convince these potential users of your SaaS through dedicated influencer marketing techniques of relevance. Proper content orienting helps attract leads through web social.
SaaS startup would have to first find the customers! However, after getting the first batches of customers, the SaaS startup firm should not loose them and try to retain them through personalized retargeting campaigns. Make products for them in a customized way so that the satisfaction never is lost. This helps to convert leads into customers with retargeting ads served through the email newsletters and personalized customer engagement/management campaigns.
Google Adwords based PPC campaigns help secure targeted traffic and potential customers. Such a strategy also plugs the gaps in inbound marketing. Bulk email marketing services prove useful to connect to leads of potential value.

" Kucinich Circulates 'Dear Colleague' Letter Asking Pelosi To Slow Progress Of Holt's Election Reform Bill "
Congressman and Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), several weeks ago, had expressed his intention to drop support for Rep. Rush Holt's (D-NJ) Election Reform Bill, HR 811. A week or so ago, he reiterated his lack of support for the bill, and his intention to drop off as co-sponsor.
Today, he has begun to circulate a "Dear Colleague" letter (posted in full below) to be sent to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi urging her to ensure the legislative process addresses the concerns of the many groups who have spoken out in opposition to HR-811.
"For these constituencies," the letter says, "H.R. 811 falls short of its intended goals to ensure votes are cast and counted as intended by the voters."
The Congressman is looking for others to step up and co-sign the letter, and asking Election Integrity advocates to contact their Congress Members to ask them to join the effort.
On a related note today the Senate Rules Committee announced that they would be holding a hearing on Sen. Diane Feinstein's (D-CA) democracy-busting S-1487 election reform legislation in the Senate. This is the bill that will turn over our elections to corporations and the incompetent, compromised U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). The hearing is scheduled for July 25 at 10AM.
Please circulate the below letter far and wide to all your members (and other organizations) to ask their Representative to sign the letter. If you get any feedback from an office, please let me know so I can follow up.
We have been made aware of a growing concern with H.R. 811, the Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2007.
Many constituencies important to the Democratic Caucus, including but not limited to the National Conference of State Legislatures, the National Association of Counties, VotersUnite.Org, and Election Defense Alliance, have expressed frustration with our offices about the process and current legislative text of the Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act.
These constituencies represent a broad range of interests that reflect many of the core values of our party. H.R. 811 now finds opposition from organizations focused on upholding the integrity of our elections and local and states governments. For these constituencies, H.R. 811 falls short of its intended goals to ensure votes are cast and counted as intended by the voters.
Below are representative examples of the negative feedback we are receiving.
Before this bill is scheduled for a vote before the House of Representatives we urge you to ensure the legislative process addresses these very valid concerns and a substitute is developed that has broad, vocal support.

"Kucinich Circulates 'Dear Colleague' Letter Asking Pelosi To Slow Progress Of Holt's Election Reform Bill"
S-1487 is hopefully going to die in committee.
HR 811, as currently written, fails to ban dangerous electronic touch-screen (DRE) voting systems. It has been shown on the news that an ellection can easily be flipped without a trace on the software. This situation is out of control and if this bill passes as is, we can on longer trust election results.
Dredd said "S-1487 is hopefully going to die in commitee." Do you have any information that would shine light on the fate of this bill?
S. 559 is the compliment to HR 811, not S. 1487, so it is likely to be seen as superfluous.
The congress is busy with oversight and the Iraq war. They are in a constitutional crisis mode, and superfluous things are going to the end of the line.
They are looping back and refining the process on contempt proceedings.
It is likely to get nasty.
The GOP is not jumping up and down happy about all of this, and would elect none of the above.
Once again, Kucinich attempts to reach across the aisle and ask that elected officials stand up and respond as a matter of conscience, ethics, and public interest.
Poor man - when will he learn that integrity has no place in D.C.? At least if he has that epiphany, he might be inclined (and still have time) to line his pockets and have a comfortable retirement after years of his party letting him down.
I mean, after all, everyone else is doing it. Who knows? His poll number might go up! (Despite the fact that they should be).
I'm emailing my reps. now. Could we have a posting of the best phone numbers and e mail addresses and phone call and write this month? I've noticed a lot of awful stuff is slipped in when WE are looking somewhere else. Election fraud...a bi partisan effort.
The DRE companies are getting help to stay in business from an unlikely camp: that of their sworn political adversaries, e-voting activists.
Then today Rob, (or someone) at OpEd news sent a little blurb announcing that HR 811 may have been brought to a screeching halt, and wasn’t this good news?
What I find amusing (once I’ve stopped crying) is that these activists seem to be totally unaware of how beneficial their actions are to the very DRE companies they decry.
I wonder that any of the DRE companies (known as the collective ETC since 2003) even bother to keep lobbyists on retainer. E-voting activists are doing such a good job of curbing legislation that might actually change laws and raise the standards for voting machines, why would DRE companies ever need to lobby again?
But of course they will, and they have.
It is easier to kill a bill than to get one passed. So, although, there are some bills that are a challenge to kill (like Voter ID bills spreading the country like wildfire) HR 811 was never a sure thing . The money and lobbying behind Electronic Voting is substantial—and clearly the efforts of those lobbyists are paying off.
And as E-Voting activists attempt to Kill Bill (HR 811), sadly they offer in its place, little more than words and conjecture. There are no alternate bills of this nature, being considered in Congress that activists can agree on. So basically the plan seems to be to kill HR 811 and any bill like it, and keep voting as we have been.
One day, rather than bickering and whining so much, maybe we as election activists can lessen the yacking and actually get something done. Wouldn’t that be nice?
I mean, with enemies like those in the e-voting movement helping to keep election laws exactly as they are, the DRE companies hardly have a need for friends in Congress.
Thank God for Dennis Kucinich and Mark Crispin Miller.
Amen. Now, let's hope that Nancy Pelosi doesn't sell us down the river again on this.

Last night I finally had to admit defeat and accept that tomorrow's planned walk was too long. Because we are staying about five kilometres north of the route today the return trip tomorrow made the day impossible, probably over 11 hours. We have had to find another stop over tomorrow and push all the other bookings back a day. It's hard work if you don't speak Italian. Incidentally I don't speak a word of Italian but Chris somehow speaks less, he seems to think I'm some sort of linguist.
As it happened today's walk turned out to be a short 5 hour trip rather than 8 hours as anticipated. We decided to miss out the descent to the monks at Camaldoli and stay high on the ridge but hadn't anticipated such an impact on the timings.
Despite being shorter it was a lovely walk along a great path. We seemed to be following some ancient route, well graded and with some of the original paving was still in place. Leaves on the trail made for comfortable walking and a cold north wind meant we didn't want to hang about, in fact we flew along.
For the first time today I was struck by the smell of autumn as well as its colour. It's a lovely musty damp smell, the smell of gently rotting vegetation, rotting beech leaves in particular. I have already mentioned the fungi but it's impossible to exaggerate how many there are and incredible variety of shapes, colours and sizes. There were some particularly interesting fleshy ones that seemed to be extruding a sticky sweat, if Christine had been here to see them she would have groaned in disgust.
After climbing up through a lovely wooded valley, a nature reserve, to the Passo Fangacci, we hit the ridge and, by avoiding the temptation of the monks and their herbal remedies at Camaldoli, stayed on it all the way to Passo della Calla. Apart from a few people fungi harvesters and a couple walkers coming the other way we had it all to ourselves.
The highest point of the walk was Poggio Scali (1520 metres), huge views across the grey valleys to north. Too misty for a good photograph, too cold to hang about for long, we stayed long enough to eat the huge and excellent roast pork sandwiches we had bought leaving Badia Prataglia.
The next stretch was my favourite, and the best bit for me of the trip so far. The trees, the colours and the trail was just wonderful.
The refuge at La Burraia was shut as were the two hotels in Campigna forcing us three kilometres further into the valley to the Agriturismo Poderone. We arrived in time to share the remnants of a boozy lunch and smells wafting up the stairs suggest that we will get a good dinner. Better still the landlady has been really helpful and found us somewhere to stay tomorrow, just as well as the places I was counting on were shut.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the GEA,the Italians are a friendly nation. Thanks for your posts which take me back to last year.Shame the hotels in Campigna were shut.God knows where you'll end up tomorrow. Easy to Muraglione but then a long way to Col Casaglia. Warned you that the days feel long but I take my hat off to you for you super human efforts so far.
Post some more photos and what about the evening meals?
You've some great days ahead of you - don't worry about your schedule.
