BkiUcvk5qoYAm1d-ChYi | Rural Villages in Fiji provide a great deal of support to community members, acting as a kind of family. The elderly are usually cared for, as are the very young. But even in a village there are those who, for various reasons, receive a disproportionately small amount of care. Children of abusive parents, alcoholic parents, and absent parents have many of the same life-challenges as children in similar situations all over the world, village or no village. The Disadvantaged Youth Full-Life Sponsorship (DYFS) Program seeks to identify children in such a situation as this, and provide entire life-sponsorship, including financial, housing, familial, education, medical, integration into better- functioning-families, reuniting with never-met fathers and never-known mothers, and providing opportunities intended to compensate for the absence of early opportunities.
NGF began sponsoring 14 children in this large and ongoing program. For more details, please read our most recent annual report . These young people have lived at our Primary Facility in Savusavu and travelled the world, visiting India, the USA, Africa, Australia and New Zealand as part of NGF's sponsorship. Most are now grown and two have children of their own. We hope all those sponsored are stronger and wiser and better equipped thanks to our support. Graduates from this ongoing program (remember: it's full-life sponsorship!) are now successful nurses, engineers, sailors, chefs, farmers and hotel managers. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdUU4eIZjyr7du-gB | Jordan Mailata (* 31. März 1997 in Sydney, Australien) ist ein samoanisch-australischer American-Footballer in der National Football League (NFL). Er spielt für die Philadelphia Eagles als Offensive Tackle. Bevor er von den Eagles verpflichtet wurde, spielte Mailata in Australien Rugby bei den South Sydney Rabbitohs (NRL) im Team der unter 20-Jährigen in der National Youth Competition.
NFL
Mailata wurde beim NFL Draft 2018 in der siebten Runde an Position 233 von den Philadelphia Eagles ausgewählt. Somit ist Mailata der zweite Spieler in der NFL-Geschichte nach Moritz Böhringer, der gedraftet wurde, aber vorher nicht in den USA am College spielte. Eine weitere Besonderheit bei Mailata war, dass er vor dem Draft kein einziges Footballspiel bestritten hatte. Nichtsdestoweniger zeigte er in der Preseason für die Eagles sehr ansprechende Leistungen und bekam einen Platz im 53-Mann-Kader des Franchises aus Philadelphia. In seiner Rookie-Saison (2018) wurde Mailata in keinem Spiel der regulären Saison von den Eagles eingesetzt. Am 14. Dezember 2018 wurde er wegen einer Rückenverletzung von den Eagles auf die Injured Reserve List gesetzt. Auch in der Vorbereitung auf die Saison 2019 hatte Mailata mit Rückenproblemen zu kämpfen. Da die Verletzung bei Mailata anhielt, wurde er nach der zweiten Woche der neuen Saison erneut von den Eagles auf die Injured Reserve List gesetzt. Sein Debüt feierte Mailata in der Saison 2020 für die Eagles in der ersten Woche der regulären Saison. In der vierten Woche der selbigen Saison feierte er sein Debüt als Starter. Hierbei konnte er auf der Position des Left Tackles überzeugen und seinen Quarterback Carson Wentz beschützen.
Im September 2021 einigte Mailata sich mit den Eagles auf eine Vertragsverlängerung um vier Jahre im Wert von 64 Millionen US-Dollar.
Teilnahme an The Masked Singer
Im März 2022 nahm Mailata als Thingamabob an der siebten Staffel des US-amerikanischen Ablegers von The Masked Singer teil, in der er den zwölften von 15 Plätzen belegte.

BkiUdCnxaKgTz-oDrw7Q | A Social Security tax cut that economists say should help the economy this year is off to a slow start. Consumers increased their spending last month at the weakest pace since June, even with the extra money in their paychecks.
Still, consumers increased spending by only 0.2 percent in January, the smallest gain since June, the Commerce Department said Monday. At the same time, their incomes rose 1 percent ? the biggest jump in nearly two years and a reflection of the tax cut.
Many analysts say such inflation could siphon off most of the benefit of the tax cut. Several scaled back expectations for growth Monday after seeing January's disappointing report.
The modest 0.2 percent rise in spending was even weaker when inflation was taken into account. After adjusting for price changes ? particularly a steep rise in energy costs ? spending actually dipped 0.1 percent in January. That was the poorest showing since September 2009.
One factor that the report doesn't take into account is how much was spent on reducing debt. Households may have boosted their spending in December ? after hearing about the pending tax cut ? and spent the extra money in January to pay credit card bills.
Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst for a N.Y.-based consumer market research firm, cautioned that most people might not have spent a lot because they didn't see much change in their income after only one month.
Over time, however, as consumers have the opportunity to pay down credit card and other debt, they'll feel more like spending again, Cohen said.
That could bode well for retailers, who are now looking for shoppers to open up for spring.
J.C. Penney launched its spring advertising during Sunday night's Academy Awards show, buying seven 30-second commercials focusing on its "We make it affordable, you make it yours" clothing campaign.
"When people get these types of paycheck boosts from the government, typically the first area people will spend on is essentials for the family," Jain said. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdgw5qoTBG9o64NFa | Editorial: Nightmare could become reality for Davidson County in light of new bill
Tia'Lavon Hill
Did you know that the local shop half a mile from the park where your kids like to play now sells alcohol? or that the prominent business in the community hasn't paid their property taxes in over a year? Were you aware that the vacant house in your neighborhood has been rezoned as a business?
Well, being in the dark about issues that directly impact your community could be the norm if a new bill is approved by the North Carolina General Assembly.
Like a reoccurring nightmare, house members have yet again filed legislation to run public notices on government-operated websites instead of in newspapers. In what feels like an attempt to keep the public in the dark, separate bills have been proposed that would impact 14 counties in the Piedmont and mountains and 12 counties in Eastern North Carolina.
Davidson County is among the regions included in this unlucky list. At first glance, these bills may seem harmless but the most dangerous things in the world normally do.
To neutralize a threat, first, one must understand what is truly at stake. Public notices inform citizens about government actions in cases of competitive bidding, rezonings, budget hearings, auctions, delinquent tax notices, street name changes and more.
These notices alert the public in advance about issues that directly impact the community, but would otherwise commence almost completely undetected if they were removed from the much broader reach of newspapers and news websites.
Current law ensures that public notices reach the largest possible cross-section of the community. A recent study done by the North Carolina Press Association showed newspaper websites drew 4-5 times as much traffic, as county websites.
Traffic on county websites is significantly small compared to newspaper websites and print circulation. The same study conducted in December of last year found that 6.6 million North Carolina adults read a newspaper product every month for information about their local community.
Eighty-six percent cite local newspapers as their "most trusted" source for public notices instead of government websites. The proposed bill would bury public notices on a website that few citizens visit while simultaneously killing the public's right to know.
Not to mention, 30% of North Carolinians either live where there is no internet service, they can't afford it, or won't read online even if available. For some residents, removing public notices from the newspaper would completely sever their access to important information.
Despite the possible negative impact, some officials point to the cost of running public notices in newspapers as justification for this infringement on the rights of North Carolinians.
However, the fact is legal notice advertising is a tiny fraction of the budget in every county. Removing the newspaper publication cost would hardly be noticed on local government budget ledgers.
Also, it seems to be conveniently forgotten that at no extra cost and without being forced to by law, newspapers are already posting public notices online and uploading them to a central statewide website where the public can read notices from around the state for free, at www.ncnotices.com.
This is not about saving money, especially since legal ads sometimes more than pay for themselves in a few ways. One way, in particular, is in regard to property taxes and how the threat of having your name published in the local newspaper, incentivizes the timely payment of property taxes by an incalculable amount.
The wakeup call
These notices do not subsidize the operation of local newspapers, but they do serve as an important check and balance service that newspapers have provided to local governments for decades.
It's no secret that from time to time the news isn't always favorable among some local officials, but that doesn't justify the attempts at retribution against local newspapers at everyone else's expense.
Accountability and transparency are worth protecting. If you agree, contact your local legislator and county commissioners to put a stop to this violation of your rights.
Tell them to keep public notices in newspapers so that the public can see them and put an end to this re-occurring nightmare.

BkiUdMbxaKgQKN2tUNSR | "Lithium Jesus: A Memoir of Mania" – Public Radio Tulsa
On this edition of ST, a rather "wild ride" of a conversation with Charles Monroe-Kane, a producer and host for the long-running Wisconsin Public Radio program To the Best of Our Knowledge (which is heard locally on Public Radio 89.5 on Sunday mornings). Monroe-Kane has a new book out — an autobiography that candidly reports on how he grew up with auditory hallucinations and bipolar disorder. It's a detailed yet breathless account that takes the reader from rural Ohio, to the Philippines, to Haiti, to Indiana, to San Francisco, to Alaska, to NYC, to Prague, and so forth. Per a critic writing for Kirkus Reviews: "A young man grapples with bipolar 'voices' via religion, hedonism, activism, and Lithium. In his debut, Monroe-Kane, a Peabody Award-winning public radio producer, brings a fresh perspective to familiar memoir territory…. [This is a] compelling account of wrestling with inner turmoil against gritty, dramatic international settings." When Monroe-Kane was here in Tulsa recently to do a couple of events, he joined us at our studios for a discussion of his memoir. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUeGc4eIOjR9j0NkTU | Epilepsy in children is a chronic neurological disease, which is characterized by the predisposition of the baby to the appearance of convulsive attacks.
Accurately identify the causes of epilepsy in a child can not in all cases, because the nature of the disease is not yet fully understood. Pathology is diagnosed most often in children aged 5 to 18 years.
Bce the above factors are signs of a child's predisposition to epilepsy.
Depending on the form of the disease and the degree of severity of ee, symptoms also vary.
Changing the shape of the lips.
Most often, the first signs of the disease appear at an early age. When a child in kindergarten or school differs uncharacteristic behavior: angry, shows strong aggression, he has seizures, sleep disturbance or even respiratory arrest.
Epileptic seizures last mainly no more than a couple of minutes, but even with the manifestation of any of the above symptoms, it is urgent to visit a doctor.
If the child's epilepsy occurs without the presence of seizures and convulsions, then associate the disease with other symptoms characteristic of the disease, wusma problematic. But if there is a suspicion of this disease — it is necessary to urgently undergo a consultation with a neurologist.
Epilepsy can have several variants of the course.
It can be large or generalized tonic-clonic seizures. They are characterized by the presence of several phases. Determine this variant of the disease can be manifested immediately before the attack of headache.
A variant of the course of epilepsy with an aura is the appearance of precursors of seizures — sensations that arise before an attack.
Such feelings arise only for a few seconds. Usually the child describes them as the appearance of unusual smells, sounds, visual images, sensations. The manifestations of aura are always the same in the same child. Most often the kid remembers them well and vividly describes. Manifestations of the aura is not characteristic of all children.
Convulsions or convulsive seizures are a change of tonic and clonic seizures. During the attack, the patient may lose consciousness and not remember what happens to them during the seizure.
The muscles of the patient are strained for only a few seconds. He falls to the floor, the body is strained, the look freezes, the jaw involuntarily shrinks (the child can bite his tongue), it is possible to stop breathing.
Within a few minutes, a person has convulsions of hands, feet, face, lower jaw. Often there is a leakage of foam from the mouth, urine.
B completion of the attack, the child's muscles relax and a deep sleep occurs. The greatest danger that can occur due to an attack is respiratory arrest. Rarely there is a bite of the child's tongue or the appearance of chipping on the teeth.
Children are characterized by abscess epilepsy or epilepsy with short-term loss of consciousness. Ha some time child "turns off", immobilizes, his glance instantaneously solidifies and becomes an empty. Bo a fit kid can make a simple motion, dramatically throwing back his head, coughing.
Since during a seizure the child loses consciousness, he can not hear someone else's speech, does not answer the questions and generally does not remember what is happening.
Such attacks can occur up to 15 times a day and even more often.
Often adults these seizures are characterized by individual character traits. Ho are signs of epilepsy that require special attention and treatment.
Epilepsy can manifest itself without losing consciousness.
In the manifestation of attacks with a change of consciousness, the patient performs actions that are not motivated in any way and are ridiculous in this or that situation. With all this, the patient does not understand what is happening to him.

Working with civil society to support women victims as they become changemakers
When Janet Arach was still a schoolgirl, she was abducted by Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in northern Uganda. During her eight years in captivity, she was forced to marry an LRA rebel and gave birth to two children. Janet and her children, like other women survivors and their children born in captivity, were stigmatized for their connection to the crimes the LRA had committed during the conflict, and suffered emotional and financial hardship as a result. Janet had difficulty meeting her children's needs and her own, and the children themselves faced widespread scorn from the community.
Following their trauma, Janet found the strength to fight for justice for them and their children. They also inspired and supported other girls and women to do the same. Janet is one of the co-founders and co-directors of Watye Ki Gen, a nonprofit organization established by formerly abducted women who were concerned about their children born in captivity and the stigma they faced in their communities. Watye Ki Gen works alongside other groups founded by formerly abducted women, such as the Women's Advocacy Network (WAN), which advocates for social justice and economic security for themselves and their children born of conflict and helps its members become self-sufficient and engaged citizens.
Janet's story is featured in a powerful short film, "I Am Not Who They Think I Am," exploring the experiences of children born of wartime sexual violence in northern Uganda, and their mothers. The film, produced by the ICTJ, has been used as a tool to increase awareness of, and empathy for, these women and children. In collaboration with Watye Ki Gen and WAN, the film was launched in emotional public events in Kampala and Gulu bringing together survivors, victims, politicians, media, civil society representatives, professors, and students.
"We thought if we came together and shared our challenges with each other, then we would be able to share the burden among ourselves," Stella, of WAN and also a protagonist of "I Am Not Who They Think I Am," explained. "When a woman has all the things she needs for her wellbeing, no man can fool her or take advantage of her. She will be empowered."

Using ethylene as a sprout control agent in stored 'Russet Burbank' potatoes
Prange, R.K.; Kalt, W.; Daniels-Lake, B.J.; Liew, C.L.; Page, R.T.; Walsh, J.R.; Dean, P.; Coffin, R.
The effect of ethylene on tuber sprout growth and quality in potato (Solanum tuberosum L. 'Russet Burbank') was tested in laboratory and commercial studies for 6 and 3 years respectively, in comparison with untreated (laboratory study) and CIPC-treated tubers (laboratory and commercial studies). In both studies, ethylene was applied continuously at 166 micromoles.m-1 for at least 25 weeks, beginning in early December (laboratory study) or early December to early January (commercial study). In the laboratory study, ethylene delayed the appearance of sprouts for 5 to 15 weeks, compared with untreated tubers. In the ethylene-treated tubers in both studies, sprouts appeared on many eyes but most of them remined very small (5 mm long). Longer sprouts (5 mm) appeared after 15 weeks but did not exceed 12 and 59 mm in the laboratory and commercial studies, respectively. Sprouts on ethylene-treated tubers were more easily detached up to 6 weeks after ethylene treatment ended, compared with untreated tubers. In both studies, ethylene treatment was not associated with decay, disorder or internal sprouting problems. In both studies, the Agtron fry color [or US. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) color grade] of ethylene-treated tubers was darker than CIPC-treated tubers at almost all sampling times. Continuous exposure to ethylene was an effective sprout control agent but it produced a darker fry color, compared with CIPC-treated potatoes

BkiUbozxK02iP5rWJWgc | MMS has over 40 years experience in skill based training on strategies to improve organization's productivity and enhance self development. MMS Interviewing Skills Training is aimed at anyone who wishes to develop their interviewing skills. Interviewing Skills Training will cover all the practical skills needed to make recruitment interviews productive and focused. Participants in this Interviewing Skills Training will gain complete understanding of entire process of planning, recruiting, interviewing and hiring the right person for the right job.
The purpose of the job interview is to gather sufficient, relevant data to be able to accurately assess and evaluate applicants so that you will make the right choice about the person/job match and positively influence the applicant to make the right choice about their future.
Studies have discovered that people who follow their preferences, rather than their competencies have more job satisfaction for the long term. For instance, a candidate might be a terrific typist, but they love to travel and would ideally love to be a tour guide. If that person gets a job as a typist, they will be dissatisfied and listless.
1) Does the applicant have the ability to do the job?
2) Does the applicant want to do the job (is it his/her preference)?
Ability and desire are two important qualifiers. If the person possesses the ability, but not the desire, there is a potential problem, and if they possess the desire, but not the ability, there is an obvious problem.
3) Does the applicant fit into the organizational culture?
4) Is this the best person for the job? Will they feel comfortable and at home in their new job?
The person must integrate into the culture otherwise the situation will result in a short-term engagement rather than a long-term commitment. When people feel like they don't belong they end up leaving when presented with the opportunity.
You ultimately want to choose the very best candidate for the job, not just someone who is acceptable, available, or presents well.
To help you determine whether the applicant is the right one for the job, here are some areas that address these specific questions.
To answer the question, "does the applicant have the ability?" we examine his/her capabilities, skills, experience, education, knowledge, technical expertise, specialized training, analytical skills, accomplishments, and flexibility to show that they know and have experienced a similar situation. You always want to ask questions rather than assuming that a person has the abilities and know-how.
To answer the question, "Is this job the person's preference?" we look at Motivation/Desire, behavior, preferences, interests, their goals, their drive and energy, their reliability, cooperation and taking initiative.
To answer the question of the candidate's fit into the organizational culture, we ask about their need for structure, autonomy, freedom, direction, and independence. We also want to know if their values are aligned with the majority of the group. Where these questions don't constitute a legitimate "knock-out punch" they do provide some indicators of long-term integration or expulsion.

BkiUbNfxaKPQoprEvdaW | This is a winter favourite, both flavoursome and full of nutrition. Easy on the stomach and supremely easy to cook as well. In India, this dish is typically made with rice and lentils. I have substituted the rice for a mix of quinoa and bulgur wheat to make for a healthier version.
Soak the quinoa and bulgur wheat mix and the lentils in water for 30 minutes. The grains and lentils will swell up.
Add cumin seeds and allow to splutter for a minute.
Put in the chopped green chillies and stir for a minute.
In the meanwhile, drain the grains and lentil and add to the pressure cooker.
Stir well for about 2 minutes and then add 2.5 cups of water.
Tip in the turmeric powder and 2 teaspoons salt.
The medium of fat I have used in this dish is ghee. Use of ghee gives added flavour to this dish. Feel free to add an extra tablespoon of ghee to make this even tastier.
I have used a mix of quinoa and bulgur wheat here. However, I also regularly make it with just plain bulgur wheat as well.
Alternate between lentils as well each time to savour a variety of flavours. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

High school boys basketball: Olympus takes Region 7 road win over Corner Canyon

Share All sharing options for: High school boys basketball: Olympus takes Region 7 road win over Corner Canyon
DRAPER — If you wanted an example of a boys basketball game that's a "grinder," all you'd need to do is watch Tuesday night's Olympus-Corner Canyon clash.
By Olympus coach Matt Barnes' own admission, this one wasn't particularly pretty. But hey, when it comes right down to it, there's no such thing as an ugly victory.
Senior guard Jake Lindsey led the way with 16 points, while junior forward Isaac Monson added 13 and senior forward Nick Wright contributed 11 more, and that trio combined for all 17 of the Titans' fourth-quarter points in a tense 47-45 Region 7 road victory over Corner Canyon on Tuesday night.
Lindsey did a little bit of everything for Olympus, whether it was rebounding the basketball, dishing out several slick assists, swiping some key steals, or blocking a couple of Corner Canyon shots.
But Lindsey, who averages 25 points, 10 rebounds and six assists a game, said the only numbers that really count are 6-3 — the Titans' region record.
"Teams have really keyed on Jake and tried to take away his penetration and made it tough on him, but he made some great passes tonight," said Barnes, whose team improved to 6-3 in Region 7 and 16-4 overall with its third-straight win. "He made a great pass to Nick when we were down to get the two-and-one. ... He's a great all-around player; he's almost averaging a triple-double, and he's been playing through a bad hip all year.
"I give my guys a lot of credit just from the standpoint that we were tough when it counted. It wasn't the prettiest win by any means but any time you can win on the road in this league, you'll take it. It was a grinder; it was a tough game."
Lindsey seemed to take his game up a notch in the fourth quarter when the game was on the line, scoring the Titans' first five points of the period and later stealing the ball that led to Wright's go-ahead basket that made it 47-45 with 1:23 to play.
The Titans missed the front end of two one-and-ones in the final 36.3 seconds, then dodged a couple of bullets when Corner Canyon clanked a couple of potential game-winning 3-point attempts in the last nine seconds.
"I wasn't trying to do anything special," Lindsey said of his strong fourth-quarter performance. "I was just trying to keep playing and just play aggressive, and Coach Barnes has a lot of confidence in me and doesn't doubt me. And when I make a mistake, he just tells me to pick it up and go again.
"My guys, I trust 'em a lot and they were open and you've got to make the right basketball play.
"Isaac hit those two big 3's in the fourth quarter and Nick scored and made the banked free throw after I got the ball stripped from me," Lindsey said. "Nick saved my butt on that one. I had to thank him for that. ... Thank the Lord, Nick was there."
The lead changed hands a half-dozen times in the fourth quarter, as Monson's 3-pointer put Olympus on top 38-35 before Johnson fueled a 6-1 spurt that gave Corner Canyon a 41-39 lead with 4:10 remaining.
A three-point play by Wright put the Titans back on top 42-41, only to see Coon and Riley Ogden score back-to-back buckets for the Chargers that gave them a 45-42 lead.
Then Monson made another clutch 3 to tie it at 45 with 2:50 to go, and Lindsey's steal led to Wright's go-ahead layup with 1:23 left.
"I've got to give my kids a lot of credit," Barnes said. "We hung in there and battled and we were tough in the last three minutes when we got down. We kinda sucked it up a little bit and made some good plays.
"Nick Wright made a couple of big plays for us; Isaac Monson hit a big 3 to tie it (45-45 with 2:50 to go), Nick makes the two-and-one that's crucial there and a banked free throw is always a gift. But my two guys that missed the front end of one-and-ones at the end, I said heck, I'll take the banker — whatever goes in.
"We played great defense the last two minutes, and then Jake came up with a big steal and Nick came up with a loose ball and scored it, and we just kinda held on from there," he said.
"In our league, every night's a war and a battle. Look at the standings and it's a huge win for us because Corner Canyon was just a game and a half behind us coming down the stretch. And we have all the guys that are ahead of us to play still. So it was a good win and gives us second place for the time being. Any time you can get a win on the road and a win over here, you'll take that."

BkiUdMg4ubng-JcX4YEv | Q: Sum of powers of a number divisible by other? I need to find the probability that $7^m+7^n$ is divisible by $5$ where $m,n\in[1,100]$. I noticed that if the remainder when m and n are divided by 7 differs by two the last digit is zero. So I did $$P=\frac{4*25^2}{100^2}=\frac14$$But I'm now unsure to prove this seemingly correct fact. On a side note I haven't studied Number Theory.
A: The first four powers (mod 5) of 7 are $\{2,4,3,1\}.$ After this the sequence repeats. There are 16 ways of pairing these and of those 4 sum to 5: $(2,3),(3,2),(1,4),(4,1).$ So 1/4 of the possible pairings lead to a sum $7^n+7^m =0~ \text{mod}~ 5$
In general there are $(4n)^2$ pairings of which $(2n)^2$ will sum to 0 mod 5. In this case
$$\frac{(2\cdot 25)^2}{(4\cdot 25)^2}= \frac{4\cdot25^2}{16\cdot 25^2} = 1/4. $$
Elementary probability (more than number theory) furnishes an explanation of this. If we have $n$ distinct objects and ask how many pairs can be made from the set, the number, written $nP$2, is
$$\text{Number of pairs} =\frac{n!}{(n-2)!} $$
If in addition we allow cases in which we pair two items that are indistinguishable,for example (4,4) from the set above, the number is
$$\text{Pairs including repetitions} = \frac{n!}{(n-2)!}+n = n(n-1)+ n = n^2. $$
Why do we include these? Because in the problem, we include cases like
$$7^2 +7^6$$
even though both powers are congruent to 4 (mod 5). If the probability of divisibility by 5 (etc.) is defined as
$$P =\frac{\text{number of pairs that sum to 0 (mod 5)}}{\text{number of possible pairs for} ~m,n \leq 100}$$
then this pair should be included. It also explains why the numerator grows proportionally. We treat like congruences associated with different numbers as distinct objects because their sum is still $0$ (mod 5).
The only number theory here is I think modular arithmetic.
A: 7=2 (mod 5)
7^m=2^m (mod 5)
Also,
2^4=1 (mod 5) =>
2^4k=1=7^4k (mod 5)
2^(4k+1)=2=7^(4k+1) (mod 5)
2^(4k+2)=4=7^(4k+2) (mod 5)
2^(4k+3)=3=7^(4k+3) (mod 5)
Thus 5|7^(4k)+ 7^(4k+2) and 5|7^(4k+1)+7^(4k+3)
Further there are 25 integers of each form.Thus, 2*25*25 satisfy case 1 and 2*25*25 satisfy case 2
Thus a total of 4*25*25 are such cases
The rest is as you did

} else {
table.api().columns([0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]).visible(true);
}
table.api().columns.adjust().draw( false );
});
} );
Hope this helps.
A: Just add
table.columns( [0, 1, 2, 3, 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13] ).visible( true);
after
var selCol = $(this).val();
and remove all the visible(true) from the if statements
Fiddle here fiddle
[edit]
table.columns( ).visible( true)
Without defining the columns to hide worked fine too

BkiUdq84ubnhAqznNzqj | The Root Reforms and Army Schools and Branches
←1901-1903 — Reforming the Army
by William J. Webb
266081THE ROOT REFORMS AND ARMY SCHOOLS AND BRANCHESWilliam J. Webb
Elihu Root, 41st US Secretary Of War
TextEdit
In 1901 Secretary of War Elihu Root appointed an ad hoc War College Board, which actually functioned as an embryonic General Staff. It consisted of five officers detailed for limited terms, plus the Chief of Engineers, the Chief of Artillery, the Superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, and the commanding officer of the Infantry and Cavalry School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Root charged the board with the advancement of Army education and the study of military policy. In 1903 Congress, at Root's recommendation, established a General Staff Corps with a Chief of Staff. The War College Board then gave way to an Army War College that performed some General Staff functions and that served as a capstone for a reorganized military education system.
Prior to 1900 an Army system of individual education did not exist; individual training was accomplished primarily within units. In most cases, Army schools were local in attendance and were designed to improve the academic education of the new officer as well as his professional military education. Notable exceptions were some of the schools of application that were early forerunners of the later combat arms schools: the Artillery School of Practice, Fort Monroe, Virginia (1824); the Engineer School of Application, Washington Barracks, D.C. (1866); and the Infantry and Cavalry School, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas (1886). During the Spanish-American War, officers in the lower echelons demonstrated that they knew their basic jobs, but those at higher levels did not sufficiently adapt to the problems of sudden mobilization and training and the widespread deployment of military forces.
Secretary Root discovered that one-third of Regular Army officers possessed no formal military education, and he believed that the Military Academy and the schools of application were inadequate to equip officers to handle the new responsibilities attendant to the growing world prominence of the United States. Nevertheless, he valued the Military Academy as the initial training ground for the Army's officers and launched a successful campaign to increase the cadet corps, modernize the academy's curriculum, and improve its physical plant. In 1901 Root announced a comprehensive system of officer education in which the Military Academy, post schools, five special service schools, and the General Service and Staff College at Fort Leavenworth would train officers in combined arms and staff positions in large units; and what became the Army War College would do advanced planning at Washington Barracks, D.C. The special service schools were the Artillery School at Fort Monroe; the Engineer School of Application, Washington Barracks, D.C.; the School of Submarine Defense, Fort Totten, New York; the School of Application for Cavalry and Field Artillery at Fort Riley, Kansas; and the Army Medical School, Washington, D.C. Root required that the schools test the officer students and that the results be placed in their records. All of the Army's schools for officers except the Army War College admitted National Guard officers and civilian graduates of land grant college military training programs who were earmarked for future U.S. Volunteers commissions. In 1904 the Army's system of military education added post schools for the academic and technical instruction of enlisted men.
The General Staff supervised the Army's schools (except for the Military Academy) through the Army War College, whose purpose was not to conduct academic instruction but rather to provide practical application of military knowledge. Along with studying tactical and strategic problems and planning for the mobilization of troops, the War College supervised the courses and methods of instruction at post and special service schools and at the General Service and Staff College. From 1901 to1917 the Army's system of military education expanded through the establishment of new schools and the reorganization of existing ones. The creation of new branches and the expansion of existing ones also affected the status of Army schools. In 1907 Congress approved separating the Artillery Branch into the Coast Artillery Corps and the Field Artillery, which led to the opening of the School of Fire for Field Artillery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1911. The Infantry and Cavalry School at Fort Leavenworth became the School of the Line in 1910. During this period the Medical Department redefined its specialized corps into Medical, Hospital, Army Nurse, Dental, and Medical Reserve. Congress in 1912 enacted a reform, recommended earlier by Secretary Root, that consolidated the Subsistence, Pay, and Quartermaster Departments into the Quartermaster Corps. This act of 1912 also initiated the Army's use of service troops by establishing an enlisted Quartermaster service corps.
The outbreak of war in Europe in August 1914 increased the concern of some in the United States about the nation's readiness for military engagement. Only the month before had Congress belatedly recognized the significance of military aviation by authorizing the creation of an Aviation Section in the Signal Corps. In 1915 Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood organized a summer camp at Plattsburg, New York, to provide military training for business and professional men. While serving as Chief of Staff, Wood in 1913 had begun similar camps for college students. The National Defense Act of 1916 continued the student military training and the businessmen's summer camps and placed them on a firmer legal basis by authorizing an Officers' Reserve Corps and a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). An Enlisted Reserve Corps would produce specialists for the Engineer, Signal, Quartermaster, Ordnance, and Medical branches.
Root's extensive improvement of the Army's military education system, which had no organized program for individual schooling when the twentieth century began, formed a major part of his War Department reforms. He increased the student body and modernized the curriculum of the Military Academy, revitalized post schools for officers, set up new post schools for enlisted men, created new special service schools and restructured existing ones, and introduced the Army War College, which supervised the Army's military education system. His emphasis on specialized individual training eventually resulted in better opportunities for civilians with creation of the Officers' Reserve Corps, Reserve Officers' Training Corps, and Enlisted Reserve Corps. Thus Secretary Root's initiatives in War Department reorganization and establishment of individual schooling for soldiers, both officer and enlisted, substantially facilitated the development and readiness of the Army for its expanded responsibilities in the twentieth century.

Samuel Winter Cooke (1847-1929), by Swiss Studios, c1901
National Library of Australia, nla.pic-an23646118
Samuel Winter Cooke (1847-1929), grazier and politician, was born on 13 March 1847, son of Cecil Pybus Cooke, and his wife Arbella, née Winter; he was baptized at St Peter's Church of England, Melbourne, on 10 April. Both his parents were of Anglo-Irish gentry descent. Because his mother abhorred colonial schools Samuel went to England in 1854 to Mr Shapcott's school and then to Cheltenham College, where he was football captain in 1865. He took a B.A. at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1870, studied at Lincoln's Inn, and was called to the Bar in 1872. He was admitted to the Victorian Bar in 1873 after his return to the colony, but only practised briefly.
In 1878, his uncle, Samuel Pratt Winter, who died shortly afterwards, chose him from among his less talented brothers to inherit Murndal, a property of 10,000 acres (4047 ha) near Hamilton. There Samuel Winter Cooke bred Corriedales, Herefords and blood horses. He became a renowned host and generous employer, revered in the district. Samuel combined an aristocratic sense of duty and dignity with a democratic open-mindedness which he recognized and valued as Australian. A fervent Imperialist and frequent traveller overseas, he was yet bound strongly to Murndal and to Hamilton, where he presided at various times over the Pastoral and Agricultural Society, Race Club and Hunt. To accommodate numerous guests, many of whom were vice-regal, he enlarged and altered the homestead but retained its pioneer rooms and rambling charm. He was president of the Melbourne Club in 1896.
Cooke was a Portland Shire councillor in 1879-85 and president in 1882-84. He sat in the Victorian Legislative Council from 1888 to 1901 as member for Western Province. Minister without portfolio in 1893-94, he acted briefly then as minister of defence and minister of education; he was a member of the royal commission on the Mildura settlement in 1896, and of the commission on law reform in 1897. Member of the House of Representatives for Wannon in the first Federal parliament in 1901, he resigned to go overseas in 1903, then stood again in 1910 and was defeated, having put aside his strong free trade principles in favour of Alfred Deakin's fusion. In Federal parliament he stressed the importance of the Empire, free trade and White Australia, and opposed votes for women. In supporting soldier settlement he made his own land available on easy terms. He was a sincere Anglican.
On 6 January 1883 at All Saints, St Kilda, he married Alice Margaret Werge Chambers. She died in 1903 and on 6 July 1910 at Tahara he married her cousin Margaret, aged 29, daughter of John Hawdon of County Durham. Both marriages were childless. When he died in London on 26 June 1929 about half the estate, valued for probate at £100,141, passed to a nephew William Lempriere Cooke. A portrait by E. Phillips Fox hangs at Murndal.

IDEA/CHR: "Historical Roots of the Racial-Political State of Democracy in Brazil"- Jessica Graham (History, UCSD)
Add to Calendar 2021-04-09 14:30:00 2021-04-09 16:00:00 IDEA/CHR: "Historical Roots of the Racial-Political State of Democracy in Brazil"- Jessica Graham (History, UCSD) The Center for Historical Research (CHR) in association with the OSU Institute for Democratic Engagement and Accountability (IDEA) will present a two-year program of lectures and seminars in 2019-21 on the problems facing contemporary global democracy. There are concerns that democracy, whatever form it may take, is under stress around the world. This CHR-IDEA series will examine what is meant by democracy in various regions and countries, how these meanings are changing, and the extent to which democracy is changing and/or under sustained and serious attack. Leading scholars from a variety of disciplines began to address those issues last year in a series that will run through Spring 2021. For several generations a prominent feature of Brazil's national identity and international reputation has been the notion that the nation is a racial democracy, or a society free of racial discrimination. However, the concept of racial democracy typically has been framed and studied as a social reality or myth, not as a way to understand Brazilian constructs of political democracy. This talk will analyze the emergence of racial democracy in Brazil from 1930 to 1945, focusing on the manner in which the state, blacks, and actors on the left and the right emphasized racial characteristics to advocate for competing visions of political democracy. The talk also will touch upon a few ways that the rhetoric and policies of President Jair Bolsonaro, the so-called "Trump of the Tropics," continue to resonate with the original formulations of this nationalist ideal in the debates about Brazilian democracy today.

BkiUe1U5qsFChfNA2rAJ | The general insurance industry has seen dramatic regulatory changes over the past few years and I believe the FSA has developed a general insurance regime that is proportionate and effective.
We are now implementing it for around 18,000 intermediaries with a general insurance permission. We know that moving to the new statutory regime has not been an easy task for many firms, but our aim is to work with them to help improve standards across the industry.
We'll provide practical material which will help firms understand our regulation in a way that enables them to apply it to a broker's business.
And we'll be here to answer their questions and listen to their concerns.
We have a number of priorities for the retail sector this year. The first is to continue processing the late applications from general insurance intermediaries and either grant them full authorisation or reject them.
So far, we've reduced the 941 firms that were interim authorised at 14 January to below 200 and the figure will continue to drop through the year.
In parallel we will continue rigorously to enforce the perimeter where firms are either unauthorised or acting outside their permissions. So far we have been concentrating on detecting unauthorised mortgage firms, but the focus of this work is now moving to the general insurance sector.
The rapid expansion of networks, together with evidence gained from the authorisation process, suggests there may be significant systems and controls issues in firms that have appointed representatives.
We are concerned that principals and appointed representatives may not have implemented the controls required in such circumstances and will therefore be considering the adequacy of controls in a small number of larger networks.
Disclosure is a keystone of our consumer protection regime and we will be checking that firms are adhering to the rules we have introduced to make the market work better for their customers.
The policy summary is the key document and we will be focusing on whether significant and unusual exclusions are being properly and clearly disclosed.
We will also be looking at intermediaries' initial disclosure documents to ensure consumers are getting the right information about the service being provided and statements of demands and needs.
High on the consumer agenda is the sale of payment protection insurance where consumers acquire products on the back of another transaction.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), consumer bodies, and the media have all expressed concerns in this area about aggressive sales practices, poor value products, excessive profit margins, unsuitable products, small print and complex terms.
We will be looking at payment protection insurance across the market (including mortgages, credit card and loan payment protection) and will take action where necessary.
We'll also be focusing on claims and complaints handling. These two issues are linked. Particularly in that firms with poor procedures may fail to inform consumers about their rights to complain and in cases of dispute, firms and consumers often disagree about where a negotiation process on a claim ends and a complaint starts.
Although this should be clearer under the new rules as insurers are required to communicate the reasons for refusing a claim to the customer.
There are some allegations of poor practice in this area, especially where claims handling is outsourced.
We have also seen some early indications where potentially brokers are collecting premiums from their customers, not putting them on risk and pocketing the money. If cases like this are proven we cannot allow this type of practice to continue.
Not only does it leave consumers exposed but it also has an impact on the credibility and honesty of the industry. So we will take action and, where relevant, involve other prosecuting authorities in these situations.
All these areas will be tackled as part of our thematic work, which enables us to investigate or increase our knowledge of or address concerns relevant to a specific area.
Some 97% of the firms we now regulate are small firms that have been broadly classified as a low individual risk to our objectives - collectively, however, so many small firms have a big impact on our objectives and we have to be organised and effective in the way we supervise them.
Much of our supervision of small firms will be done through analysing the information we get about a firm from varied sources, such as regulatory returns, product sales data, common themes that arise from visits to firms or questionnaires received, and identifying any risks to our objectives.
We will not be reacting to every issue that lands on our desk or trying to save every firm that borders on failure. We must accept that with a finite number of resources we can only tackle the most important issues and even then we will have to prioritise so that the issues are dealt with according to their impact on our objectives.
Small firms won't have a day-to-day relationship with us nor should they expect regular visits from us.
Instead, we'll contact them only when providing them with information about good and bad practice we have seen, or about relevant FSA developments, when we need to follow up any of the information we've received about them or to ask them to participate in our thematic work. But there are plenty of opportunities for firms to interact with us.
We do this by communicating with smaller brokers in a number of ways and have put in place a number of initiatives to make the FSA easier to do business with for small firms.
These include our firm contact centre, and firms online which allows firms to electronically submit returns, make certain applications and inform us of changes to their details.
We have begun a series of visits, roadshows and surgeries around the country at which firms can ask questions. We also run a wide programme of industry training events and there is a wealth of information on our website including dedicated pages for general insurance business and a tailored version of the FSA Handbook.

BkiUdcY5qYVBYPffxTnj | Three players are selected from the audience and are brought to the stage with a quick and funny introduction from the announcer. The contestants put on their new, wireless hardhats, their names appear on the video projection and we're off and to the races.
Throughout the course of the show they will be challenged to answer questions, unscramble puzzles and possibly even dance the Macarena. Unlike regular game shows where you "buzz in" to answer a question, contestants use a large soft mallet to "bonk" themselves on the head to qualify.
Questions range from silly, difficult and "trick" questions to fully customized questions that reflect your product, theme or industry. Once a player reaches 10 points he or she is the winner of the round.
The player with the fewest points is sent back with a humorous consolation prize such as 100 ounces of bubbles, play dough or a 4 pound can of tuna!
This brings us to the "BACK BONK" round where things really get fun! In this round, if a contestant does not want to answer, or perform a silly stunt, he can force his opponent to answer by BONKing him with the mallet (see picture left!).
BONUS BONKS are included throughout the game allowing members of the audience to answer questions for cash prizes, t-shirts, and even the chance to replace one of the players on stage!
A full game includes a number of participants, several hilarious rounds, lovely parting gifts, lots of BONKING and of course a GRAND BONK CHAMPION.
The best way to understand BONK is to watch the video – it'll make just about everything clear. Then contact us to bring BONK to your campus.
What Customers say about BONK!
"The show was incredible. Gus and Eric were fabulous and the evening was so much fun. I hope we can bring BONK back again."
Bonk – the Comedy Game Show includes a $300 prize package for all COLLEGE EVENTS.
Non-College Events are quoted as "Plus Prizes".
Prizes are given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams. Consolation "gag prizes" are also given.
Of course you can increase the prize package if you so desire. To receive a price quote please fill out the form on our contact page.
What are the technical needs of BONK?
We'll need to following to be provided for the Silver/Bronze Level (Budget) Shows.
Extension Cord with Power Strip – enough to reach the podium.
2 6 foot banquet style tables.
If these outlets are further than 30′ away from the performance area then extension cords should be provided.
Load in/Load out assistance: We have a LOT of gear to load in. It's all on wheels, so there's no heavy lifting. We don't require help, but we sure appreciate it when we get it and it puts our crew in a great mood for your show!
How are people selected to play Bonk?
Everyone at your event will have a chance to play during the game through our group challenges such as "Your Group Has Talent" and other ways to get everyone an equal chance to participate.
One of our most popular ways of selecting contestants is "Scavenger Hunt" style ala the old "Let's Make a Deal" gameshow. We'll ask for someone with the most school flair, or someone with a picture of their pet on their cell phone, etc. This helps us to get fun, enthusiastic people on stage to play. Think of it as a quick audition.
You can also do a drawing for the opportunity, or have people preselected – but we HIGHLY RECOMMEND using our time proven ways. Just because someone has ticket number 2495 doesn't mean they'll be fun on stage. Our methods help us hedge our bets that we'll have fun people on stage to put on a show!
If Survey Says is being used as a part of a special event, such as Greek Week, Inter-Dorm challenge or team challenges for a corporate group, then using preselected teams makes total sense and is recommended.
BONK is available in all levels of production: Bronze, Silver, Gold & Platinum. Bronze and Silver are identical with the exception that with the Silver package you will also have an on site technician to take care of all technical needs of the show – allowing the host to focus only on entertainment. Our new BONK software makes it necessary to have a tech at the show for anything lower than Gold Level – so Silver level is not needed.
We'll ask you to provide a few things for this show. It leaves the big sets at home and uses readily available items from your campus. See "Technical Needs" on this page for those items. It also makes the show super affordable, especially for distant shows, as our host can fly to your show instead of drive.
Wireless Connectivity so host can run show from the stage.
Wireless Hard Hats and Microphones for each contestant.
Bank of game questions tweaked from years of experience geared towards your audience's make up.
Customization of Questions for your event is available for an additional fee.
Bright, Short Throw Video Projection (allows short distance between screen and wall).
NOTE: Our current set looks different than the one in the videos. We no longer use the dial scoring and hanging helmets, but instead use video scoring. It looks better, allows for more flexibility and is much safer.
On-Site Producer – recommended if working on a tight schedule or high pressure environment.
You'll know exactly what your price is before we contract. No Surprises.
We're all about being easy to work with.
Of course. We are fully insured. We can add your event to our policy at no additional charge – so you're covered too.
There is no cost for his as long as we have at least 2 weeks notice. Rushes may incur a $50 charge – so please check in advance if you need any special wording.
We'll need about 2 hours to set up. It takes far less than this to set everything up, but this gives us time to troubleshoot since we'll be using unfamiliar equipment. This always gives us plenty of time, providing that all items from our tech needs are ready and waiting for us when we arrive.
Take about 3-3 1/2 hours to set up and about 60-90 minutes to tear down and load out. (Usually about 60 minutes unless it's a long walk from venue to loading dock).
Shorter set up times (within reason) can be accomplished by us bringing in extra crew at an extra cost. Please inquire if you will need us to do this.
The typical show lasts 60-90 minutes with an average of 70 minutes.
Our software makes it easy to customize the backgrounds, prizes and sound effects and this customization is available at no additional cost in most cases.
We can customize in any way desired, let us know what you have in mind and we'll put together a price quote for that customization.
We have ready to go shows for "Alcohol Awareness", "Holidays" and more.
If we feel the topic you are interested in will be popular with other clients, we'll write a custom show at no extra charge. We may already have something for you with a different show, as each show has it's own character and strengths.
A lot of work, thought and trial and error went into our current standard game play. When one aspect changes, it potentially changes 10 other aspects. So while we can customize the show flow to a certain extent, it does take a bit more effort. Many ways (number of teams etc) we have already worked out. Let us know what you have in mind, and what your end goal is and we'll work something out for you.
BONK uses surprise and a series of questions to capture the humor. We can incorporate your questions and content, though to keep the show in character for BONK it does require a bit more work than other shows as we have to work to keep the FUNNY in the show. So YES, we can customize questions. There is an additional fee required.
Our Bronze and Silver shows are very flexible and can fit in just about any space. However – to make it feel more like a show we recommend the minimums outlined below. We can be very flexible with the budget shows, but not quite as much with the Gold/Platinum shows.
If a stage is not available we can work on floor level – just add about 4 feet to these dimensions.
Near the stage/performance area should be a place for two 6 foot banquet tables (we'll bring these) for our technician to set up.
This space should be indoors, or if outdoors this should be pre-approved by our staff and it should be a covered area. Outdoor shows are not recommended for daytime events as even our very bright projectors get washed out in full sunlight. LED Backdrops are not available for outdoor events. Wind can be difficult with a large projection screen. To Go Events has the final say on safety for all outdoor events. All outdoor events are "pay or play".
We also need 10.5 feet above the stage for our full set – though we can make the set shorter if we need to. Again… just let us know in advance so we are prepared.
Some states such as California, New Jersey, Minnesota, North Carolina and Missouri (just a few that we know of) have "Out of State Entertainer" taxes or state income taxes that we don't have here in our home state of Texas.
Add a clause that says expenses of "up to <the amount of taxes/fees> will be billed after the show" and we'll bill you for that exact amount.
We fully participate in block bookings both through NACA and on our own. Check our calendar page to see when we'll be coming near you to save.
We give HUGE discounts to schools who work with us to create routes. Using Coop buying really helps everyone to win.
Other than that, we have a published price list with competitive pricing that we stand by. We don't give an inflated price just to give you a false discount. We quote a great market price and stick to it. We hope you'll appreciate us being up front about this, it seems to be the most ethical way to do business.
We see BONK advertised by other people... what gives?
Bonk is a licensed show created by comedy genius Kerry Pollock.
Game Shows To Go/To Go Events was one of the first licensee's way back in 2003 – so we've been presenting BONK longer than almost anyone except for Kerry himself!
We are also the only Game Show production company presenting the show. Other licensees are mostly magicians or variety who only do this one game show. What we bring to the table is 15 years of GAME SHOW EXPERIENCE unmatched by anyone in the business.
We also have exclusive rights to BONK in the College Market.
Others are out there performing this show, but we think that we do it as well as the best, and better than the rest. We think you'll agree.
PC: Right Click "Save Target As" or click link and save from browser.
The next two fliers let you promote the show to a different audience – as a Comedy Show instead of a game show. Please confirm which host will be hosting your event and use the correct flier.
We are happy to write a show just for you or use surveys that you create for your event. If we write/research surveys an extra cost may apply. However, if it's a show that we think others will be interested in, we may share the cost with you or absorb it ourselves. Talk to an agent today.

BkiUe8U4uzkg7CPSliX4 | This means that one out of every three Americans are at greatly increased risk for heart disease and premature death – with some studies placing the mortality rate for hypertensive adults at a shocking 200 to 400 percent higher than for those who don't have high blood pressure. In addition, we know that the use of blood pressure medication has many unwanted health consequences.
Fortunately, a new study is shedding light on the ability of olive leaf extract to lower blood pressure, thereby helping to "even the playing field" and lower the odds of early death from this dangerous condition – without negative side effects.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause an array of life-threatening conditions – including atherosclerosis, stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, heart failure and heart attack.
Although high blood pressure is officially considered to begin at 140/90 mmHg, many conventionally-trained physicians typically don't intervene unless readings go much higher – for instance, in the area of 160/90 mmHg.
And this, say many natural health experts, is costing lives.
The fact is, as blood pressure nears 140/90 mmHg, damage to arteries and organs can already be occurring. (Studies have shown that the risk of heart disease doubles with every 20/10 increase in blood pressure above 115/75 mmHg).
Although blood pressure can be treated with a variety of pharmaceutical drugs, these can feature a variety of unpleasant and dangerous side effects – including swollen ankles, gastrointestinal bleeding, fatigue, dizziness, kidney impairment, excess potassium in the blood and increased risk of heart attack.
But, there may be a better way.
Olives and olive oil, rich in healthful monounsaturated fats, have long been important staples of the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet.
But it is the leaves of the Olea europaea tree – used for centuries to treat infections and speed wound healing – that have the highest content of bioactive compounds.
In addition to potent antioxidants such as hydroxytyrosol and oleanic acid, olive leaves contain a phenolic compound called oleuropein.
Studies have shown that oleuropein provides a host of health benefits, including modulating blood sugar, regulating heartbeat, reducing the risk of cancer, fighting inflammation and boosting the immune system.
In addition, research has shown that this beneficial compound helps to combat the arterial stiffness that contributes to high blood pressure – while improving endothelial function and helping to modulate calcium channel flow.
In a double-blind clinical trial published in Phytomedicine, researchers found that oleuropein reduced systolic blood pressure by an average of 11.5 mmHg, and lowered diastolic blood pressure by 4.8 mmHg. (Note: the systolic, or top number, measures the blood pressure during contractions, while the diastolic measures the pressure between heartbeats).
In a randomized double-blind trial involving 232 participants with hypertension, researchers compared the blood pressure-lowering powers of olive leaf with that of captopril, a pharmaceutical hypertensive drug.
One group received 1,000 mg a day of the olive leaf formulation for 8 weeks, while the other received a standard dose of captopril for the same amount of time.
The researchers found that systolic readings decreased by 11.5 mmHg in the olive leaf group and 13.7 mmHg in the captopril group – leading the team to conclude that the effect of olive leaf was "similar" to that achieved by captopril.
The researchers speculated that olive leaf might work to relax artery walls and lower blood pressure in the same way as prescription ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors.
And, while captopril can feature side effects such as dizziness and dry cough – the olive leaf extract group experienced no adverse effects.
When it came to decreasing fats in the blood and reducing harmful LDL cholesterol, the olive leaf extract outperformed the prescription drug.
The olive leaf group experienced an average 7.8 percent reduction in triglyceride levels – along with a decrease in harmful LDL cholesterol. The captopril group did not.
Should olive leaf be a part of your blood pressure-lowering regimen?
Natural health experts maintain that a reading of 115/75 mm Hg (when at rest) is a more desirable target reading than the 120/80 mmHg advised by Western medicine.
But how best to achieve this goal – especially if you are battling elevated blood pressure?
Drug-free methods that can help you lower your blood pressure include getting proper nutrition, losing weight, getting sufficient exercise, cutting down on processed salt, avoiding smoking and alcohol and utilizing relaxation techniques such as meditation and deep breathing exercises.
These techniques can help you to take smaller amounts of pharmaceutical medications, or to eliminate them entirely. Of course, never reduce or eliminate your dosage of prescribed blood pressure medicine without first consulting a trusted and knowledgeable integrative physician.
Bottom line, as the latest study suggests, olive leaf extract can be an excellent choice for helping you maintain healthy blood pressure. In case you're wondering: most natural health experts advise 500 mg of olive leaf extract twice a day for lowering blood pressure.
Remember: if you think olive leaf extract might be for you, discuss the matter first with your doctor. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUfE825V5jRAvtXqL1 | Malmö Ångbåts AB var ett svenskt rederi, verksamt i Malmö 1835-1875. Efterträdaren Malmö Nya ångbåts AB var verksamt 1876–1924.
Bolaget bildades 1835 och beställde samma år en hjulångare att byggas i Karlshamn. Fartyget som var en hjulångarskonert levererades 1836 och fick namnet Malmö, och sattes i linjetrafik Malmö-Köpenhamn-Lübeck. 1847 inköptes även den då tre år gamla danska hjulångaren Isefjord som döptes om till Freja och sattes in på lustturer Malmö-Köpenhamn samt längs skånekusten. 1848 köptes järnhjulångsskonerten L'Aigle från Norrköping och döptes om till Öresund och sattes in på linjen Malmö-Köpenhamn-Helsingör-Helsingborg. Man fick därefter problem med ekonomin, i januari 1849 såldes Freja på auktion till västkusten, och under sommaren samma år såldes Öresund. Man fortsatte därefter fram till 1858 trafiken med den nu ganska ålderstigna Malmö, då hon ersattes av den vid Lindholmens verkstad byggda L. I. Bager. Malmös ångpanna och ångmaskin demonterades och monterades i det nybyggda fartyget och det äldre fartyget skrotades. L. I. Bager fortsatte på traden Malmö-Köpenhamn-Lübeck. 1859 erhöll man även hjulångfartyget Ystad från Motala Verkstad som sattes in på en längre linje Kristiania-Göteborg-Hallandskusten-Malmö-Ystad-Stettin. Man råkade nu i konkurrens med Hallands Ångbåtsaktiebolag, vilket ledde till att man inledde samtrafik. 1871 köpte bolagen tillsammans det tidigare finska kustfartyget Amiral von Platen som döptes om till Svanen. Hon sattes in på trafik Malmö-Köpenhamn-Lübeck, men visade sig för liten för uppgiften och genomgick en ombyggnad där hon förlängdes. 1872 såldes Ystad till Norge. 1875 inträffade dock en katastrof för bolaget när L. I. Bager fattade eld på en tur från Köpenhamn och sjönk. 31 personer omkom. Fartyget var inte i heller försäkrat. Olyckan innebar slutet för Malmö Ångbåts AB som upplöstes.
Malmö Nya Ångbåts AB
Ur spillrorna av Malmö Ångbåts AB bildades våren 1876 Malmö Nya Ångbåts AB. Bolaget inköpte fartyget Orion som sattes i trafik på linjen Göteborg-Hallandskusten-Malmö-Lübeck. Fartyget var dock gammalt och behövde upprustning, vilket dock fick dröja till 1884. 1894 införskaffades tillsammans med Hallands Ångbåtsaktiebolag linjeångaren Lübeck, med Malmö Nya Ångbåts AB som ägare av 25 %. 1898 såldes Orion och i stället byggdes 1897 det nya ångfartyget Malmö i Lübeck. Slutet för bolaget blev när Malmö en natt 28 januari 1920 lastad med styckegods i närheten av Rättarens fyr i Göteborgs skärgård gjorde en skarp kursändring och råkade ut för en överhalning och fick slagsida. Man tvingades dumpa lasten men hård vind gjorde att slagsidan förvärrades och sedan fartyget övergivits sjönk hon. Malmö kunde bärgas inom kort, men under de dåliga konjunkturerna blev förlisningen en katastrof för det lilla bolaget. Malmö överläts på Hallands Ångbåtsaktiebolag mot att de löste ut Malmöbolaget skulder så att de kunde träda i likvidation. Sista bolagsstämman hölls 28 januari 1924.

BkiUdtA4eIOjR1Ci91ce | MHZ40C, Modelling Combo Guitar Amp from Marshall in the Haze series.
Marshall Amplification has introduced the new Haze line of compact and portable valve-driven performance amplifiers: the 40-Watt Haze combo (MHZ40C) and the 15-Watt Haze head (MHZ15).
The Haze 40 combo is equipped with a single Celestion G12-66 Marquee 12" speaker. The Haze 15 head can be paired with matching single 12" Celestion G12-66 Marquee loaded cabinets (MHZ112A - angled; MHZ112B - base) as well.
The preamp section is powered by three ECC83 valves (tubes). Both Haze models feature two channels (normal and overdrive) that share a three-band EQ; a Bright switch adds extra emphasis to the highs. A selection of retro-style effects offers Echo, Vibrato, and Chorus. An emulated spring-reverb is also included. Effect settings are retained by each channel for immediate recall during performance. All effects remain truly bypassed when completely off, providing a more direct signal path.
The Haze 40 combo features a closed-back cabinet has been modified with four circular holes to preserve the best aspects of both an open-back and a closed-back design, according to Marshall. The speaker is asymmetrically mounted, allowing for extended lows. This combo also features an additional presence control in the EQ, as well as a boost switch to add more depth to the low-mids. A bypass-able effects loop is also included. For recording or directly patching into a PA system, an emulated speaker line output recreates the speaker response. Power is provided by two EL34 valves.
The Haze 15 head is powered by a pair of 6V6 valves. Two 8-Ohm and one 16-Ohm speaker jacks are provided. The matching MHZ112 cabinets feature finger-jointed construction and a closed back design. The MHZ112B is a straight style (base) design; the MHZ112A is the traditional Marshall angled (top) style.
The Marshall Haze 40-watt combo (MHZ40C) and the 15-watt head (MHZ15) will be available July 2009 with respective MSRPs of $1000 and $840.

BkiUaPDxK1ThhCdy5ok6 | Still, Dominica Strong
Nick Nunes
Two years ago, one of the most devastating storms ever recorded carved a path of devastation through the Caribbean. Hurricane Maria's aftermath has given rise to a new era of awareness for the Caribbean and our yearly struggle with the Atlantic Hurricane season.
Mark Maloney, Executive Chairman of the Preconco Group, stands as one of many that leapt into action in the wake of Maria.
"When I first went to Dominica after Hurricane Maria, it was unbelievable. It was like an atomic bomb had hit the country. It's unexplainable. You see pictures and even the pictures can't explain it. What I can say is that I never met a more resilient people than I did in Dominica," said Maloney.
"We believe that all the islands should really take note of what happened in the Bahamas this year and two years ago in Dominica and spend time now on shoring up its infrastructure and developing sustainable housing solutions because it's not going to get any better," he added.
According to Maloney, the aftermath of Maria was filled with people caring about people and being positive. "It's that environment that drew us to want to help and to do work and to build business in Dominica," he said.
"It is during times like those that you see the true colours of people. The people of Dominica are incredible. I don't think that I've met anyone that is so not-caring-about-self and caring about others and so positive," Maloney continued.
"They were more interested in what they could do to help their neighbours and their friends and the communities around them than they were about themselves. There were people going to work that didn't have a home or a bed to sleep in. That was very touching. I can't really explain how I felt about what I saw there but I can tell you that the islands of the Caribbean need to focus on their infrastructure".
Preconco was the first group of companies to rush to the aid of Dominica when the storm clouds cleared from the once lush island. "We went there to see how we could help the government of Dominica with the infrastructure challenges that they had, with housing challenges, and we did a significant donation to the country of Dominica to help them with their issues, mostly construction related items," said Maloney.
Working with the government of Dominica, the Preconco Group embarked on supplying the country with precast concrete homes built on stilts to alleviate the issues associated with flooding. The homes are completely concrete, including their roofs.
Maloney afforded that the homes are energy efficient and have special materials inlayed into the concrete for cooling which makes them strong, cool, energy efficient, and sustainable.
"We're building a plant in Dominica now to manufacture homes because there is such a need for sustainable housing. We also worked with a company from Trinidad that we brought over to deal with cleaning rivers," said Maloney.
He went on to say, "We're doing work not just to deal with the issues created by the hurricane but to help create a sustainable infrastructure with both housing and road infrastructure and so on for future of the country. We think that that is not something just for Dominica". | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUf1DxK7Tt522Wc_IY | Leather jackets are never out of fashion…its a prime fashion trend that never goes outdated….you instantly feel 10 X stylish when wearing a leather jacket….
WIKIPEDIA SAYS : A leather jacket is a jacket-length coat that is usually worn on top of other apparel or item of clothing, and made from the tanned hide of various animals. The leather material is typically dyed black, or various shades of brown, but a wide range of colors is possible. Leather jackets can be designed for many purposes, and specific styles have been associated with subcultures such as greasers, rednecks, cowboys, hillbillies, motorcyclists, military aviators, police, and music subcultures (punks, goths, metalheads, rivetheads), who have worn the garment for protective or fashionable reasons, and occasionally to create a potentially intimidating appearance.
And they do have a lot of drama too….big buttons, metal accessories and chains everywhere….
TIP : don't choose a jacket that has so many chins and big buttons as it looks cheap the other way round…..doesn't mean you cant go for picking a jacket with buttons will always turn a blunder….
look how Sienna Miller and Rihanna embraces her punk side…..

BkiUfVfxaKgQWseFxUiH | The fashion-conscious French know that accessories are as important as clothing. They underscore this point each year in October with the annual Silmo d'Or awards – eyewear equivalent of the Oscars – celebrating the latest innovations in optical fashion and function. For 2012, Lucas de Staël took first prize in the Optical Frame category for his "Once Upon a Time" collection. De Staël is known for his use of organic materials, such as wood and leather, and his passion for color. He blends these with a sleek yet edgy style that gets attention with a delicate ease.
Perhaps that sense of color is genetic. De Staël's grandfather, Nicholas de Staël, enjoyed enormous success as a painter during the 1940s and 1950s. Inspired by masters such as Matisse, Picasso and Rembrandt, Grandpa de Staël became known for his use of primary colors and other vivid hues – a forerunner of what would become the Field of Color movement in art of the 1960s and a theme echoed in his grandson's eyewear design.
Providence Optical is pleased to offer eyeglass frames from de Staël's Undostrial collection – the original line that brought him international recognition. This innovative design does away with hinges and those annoying little screws that keep falling out. The frame fronts – available in either brushed silver or black — are cut from Swedish surgical steel, which has extraordinary flexibility and shape memory. The temples (or side pieces) are made of a soft eco-friendly plastic that hugs your head without the pressure and discomfort of a rigid plastic. The temples come in a wide variety of colors from understated tones of black, white and gray to eye-popping shades of red, orange, pink, purple and electric blue. If you're really adventurous, you can even opt for subtle polka dots. Come on in and try them on just for fun. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUe8zxK0zjCobCQDgK | Having been created in the '90s in no way deterred Noelle Stevenson when the girl was given the tips to a empire of the '80s.
When Netflix named Stevenson, 26, the particular showrunner from the She-Ra rebirth, she has been well conscious that it was the beloved traditional cartoon which she needed to proceed carefully.
"My Mirielle. O. whenever going into the particular series has been to catch what made the initial iconic plus exciting plus epic and all sorts of the things that you really feel when you are a kid plus watching these types of cartoons, and after that re-create that will so [the series is] accessible in order to new viewers, " Stevenson told The particular Washington Post's Comic Licks.
"She-Ra as well as the Princesses associated with Power" started streaming upon Netflix Wednesday, and it appears a lot distinct from the original — so much so that will some followers were dissatisfied when the initial images had been revealed on the web in This summer. The new She-Ra is youthful, more cartoony, with much less revealing clothes and more thrilling laughs.
Usually change may bring a few groans from the devoted. Stevenson's history in the amusing book market (she's a good Eisner Prize winner regarding "Nimona" plus "Lumberjanes") ready her pertaining to such a response. But the girl was assured that the girl and DreamWorks, the facilities behind the particular project, had been on to some thing.
"There's an extremely specific design that [many are ] used to viewing [with] cartoon female character types, and we attempted to get beyond that, " Stevenson mentioned. "I believe we are looking to broaden the particular description associated with what it means to become a female leading man. What it means to become girly.
In the middle of Stevenson's new She-Ra universe may be the relationship between your protagonist Adora (who changes into She-Ra with the help of the magical jeweled sword) plus her traditional antagonist Catra. On the unique series, both were foes and absolutely nothing more.
"I think the very best villains are people who have that will connection in some way with the leading man. That was main things that We knew I needed to do with the particular series, [that] Adora were raised [with] Catra. They would possess fought alongside. They would were raised with each other, " Stevenson said.
Given exactly how close within visual design DreamWorks remained to the unique for its additional '80s update on Netflix, "Voltron: Famous Defender, " Stevenson states she likes how much independence she needed to steer aside.
Whilst inspired from the past, Stevenson is very pleased to have created a new She-Ra lore that may stand by itself. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfMs5qhDCRcuNKb9P | Home/2017/RFID technology applications help to improve efficiency, economics of completions, stimulation operations
2017January/February
RFID technology applications help to improve efficiency, economics of completions, stimulation operations
Extended-reach North Sea well demonstrates potential to expedite hydraulic fracturing cycle times as cementing, other applications for RFID are developed
By Euan Murdoch, Crystal Wreden and Alex Goodwin, Weatherford
Figure 1 compares the performance between RFID and ball-drop tools in offshore hydraulic fracturing operations.
Many conventional downhole tools, designed for the comparatively shallow and simple wells of past decades, are difficult to actuate from the surface in deep or complex wells. Mechanical or hydraulic actuation in these cases can require operators to make multiple intervention trips downhole, driving up operational expenditure (OPEX) and threatening the economic vitality of the wells. The industry's search for more efficient and reliable downhole control systems and tools has led to a growing interest in radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.
RFID applications in oil and gas extend beyond inventory and asset tracking. RFID technology can be used to control diverse equipment by pairing small RFID tags with an active antenna in a downhole tool. The tags are coded with a specific signal or command and dropped or pumped downhole. As the tags approach the tool, the active antenna generates an electromagnetic field that energizes each tag to begin the transmission of its unique command data. The commands are processed by the downhole tool, which then opens, closes or takes a reading, as directed.
Weatherford began its development of RFID tools in 2005 and completed the first field trials of a drillstring-deployed downhole valve in 2006. This early work led to the development of the JetStream RFID drilling circulation sub, which enables efficient cuttings transport and hole cleaning, and the RipTide RFID drilling reamer, which enlarges the borehole below casing restrictions. In each application, RFID downhole technology produced benefits, such as increased safety and efficiency in high-cost, high-risk drilling environments.
Benefits of RFID in Completions
Weatherford has applied the same RFID principles to improve the efficiency and economics of completions and stimulation operations. Regardless of their function, all RFID-actuated tools share many operational benefits over tools that are activated by mechanical or hydraulic means.
The primary benefit of RFID completion tools is to remove the need for intervention, which in turn reduces both risk and OPEX. Traditional mechanical completion tools typically require actuation using equipment such as coiled tubing or wireline. The process of mechanical actuation often occupies a good deal of deck space and manpower, both of which are at a premium offshore. Intervention operations consume large amounts of OPEX while increasing operational risk, thereby posing a critical challenge to the economic viability of a project. RFID-equipped downhole tools can be actuated without mechanical manipulation from surface, which all but eliminates these issues.
Figure 2: Weatherford deployed the RFID-actuated AutoFrac lower-completion system to perform a multizone proppant fracturing operation in the North Sea.
Each RFID tag is pre-programmed on surface with a code that is specific to a given downhole tool. Commands instruct the tool to actuate immediately or after a specific condition has been met, and a series of error-checking variables ensure that accurate data transfer has taken place. Multiple tags with different commands can be dropped to selectively activate or deactivate a tool multiple times, without having to perform interventions. The selective pairing of one tag to one downhole tool allows multiple RFID tools to be installed in the same completion string with no risk of interference.
While RFID is the primary form of actuation for these tools, other forms of remote actuation are also available. In closed systems with no flow path available to the RFID tag, the tools can be controlled using frequency-modulated pressure cycles or programmed to activate at set times or intervals. Combining all three activation modes in the same application gives the user a highly flexible system that can be configured to meet operational needs without adversely impacting economics.
In hydraulic fracturing applications, RFID-enabled isolation devices avoid the need for balls and seats or plug-and-perf operations. As Figure 1 shows, ball-drop systems offer limited options during screenouts and must be milled out after stimulation is complete, adding rig time and cost to the process. The absence of ball seats in RFID tools yields a uniform inside diameter that makes it possible to run any number of tools in sequence. Additionally, the RFID system's ability to accurately indicate tool function and provide screenout contingences reduces uncertainty, enabling improved financial risk planning in offshore and other high-cost environments. Finally, when the two methods are compared in offshore tight-gas applications – where an aggressive tip-screenout philosophy makes screenouts more likely – the frac cycle time is significantly lower using RFID-enabled tools, which lowers OPEX.
Interventionless Stimulations
Figure 3: In traditional cementing operations, cement can be lost into weak formations due to increased pressure during placement. The RFID-activated crossover tool diverts cement into the liner annulus, where it flows down the back side of the liner and up into the shoe track.
Operators in high-cost offshore environments have long sought an enabling technology to expedite hydraulic fracturing cycle times. In June 2015, Weatherford deployed its AutoFrac lower-completion system into an extended-reach North Sea well with a 6-in. open hole and a bottomhole static temperature of 80°C (176°F). The operator needed to reduce the time and risk associated with multizone stimulation in this well. Conventional techniques, such as plug and perf, ball-drop sliding sleeve and coiled tubing-based fracturing, were time-consuming and lacked contingency options in the event of a premature screenout.
The lower completion system incorporated seven RFID-controlled stimulation sleeves and seven RFID flapper valves. These tools enabled remote isolation and access to the reservoir by applying alternating frequency-modulated pressure pulses that opened one sleeve at a time for selective fracturing of each stage. Post-stimulation, RFID tags could be circulated to close the flapper valve prior to moving to the next stage.
Following the installation of the system at a measured depth of 6,300 to 6,400 m (20,600 to 21,000 ft), an RFID-actuated flapper valve was closed to isolate the toe, the hanger was set, and the liner was successfully integrity tested. When the operator was ready to begin stimulation operations, they used pressure pulses sent from the platform remotely to open the first sleeve and simultaneously activate the tools in the first section. Once access to the reservoir was confirmed via a pressure drop, the stimulation vessel began the treatment.
RFID tags pumped at the 3-ppg proppant stage commanded the next flapper valve to close after a predetermined delay. This enabled completion of the first treatment and shut-in analysis prior to isolating the zone. An early screenout occurred during the flush stage, leaving proppant-laden fluid in the wellbore. The flapper valve successfully closed despite the screenout, allowing for a closed cleanout to be performed. If a ball-drop completion system had been used, the operator would have needed to mill out the ball seats at this juncture and proceed with a plug-and-perf operation, resulting in a significant increase in OPEX.
After the cleanout was complete, another set of pressure pulses opened the second sleeve to provide access to the zone, and fracturing operations commenced. Once formation breakdown was achieved in this zone, another frequency-modulated pressure pulse was applied against the open formation, which triggered the flapper valve to open after a preset delay.
This same sequence was repeated for subsequent zones moving up the well, enabling stimulation treatments to be completed within approximately 12 hours per stage. After the final treatment, cleanout occurred without any milling or shifting operations. The client saved time in both primary and contingency operations during the multizone stimulation, as the RFID technology reduced the number of coiled-tubing runs and enabled efficient recovery from screenouts while retaining full functionality.
Completions Applications Continue
Weatherford is actively advancing RFID technology for applications beyond stimulation jobs. The RFID-operated OptiBarrier is a multi-cycle barrier ball valve that serves several purposes. The valve is rated to ISO28781 V1 with a zero gas-leak rate. It can be run as part of the lower completion and closed using an RFID tag to prevent fluid loss following gravel-pack applications or while running the upper completion. The valve can then be re-opened remotely at a later date.
The valve can also be deployed as a suspension valve to isolate the wellbore while installing a subsea tree: After remotely closing the valve using RFID tags, the subsea blowout preventer is removed and replaced with a tree. The suspension valve can also be reopened at a later date using a pressure cycle. Using a ball valve with these capabilities avoids the need to have a vessel present to set a plug via coiled tubing or slickline, which saves money and reduces the risk of damaging downhole equipment or having to perform a fishing operation to retrieve tools.
The RFID-enabled CrossStream reverse-cementing system improves cementing operations in weak and depleted formations where fluid losses are a concern. RFID tags enable the system's three tools – a circulation tool, fall-through flapper and crossover tool – to function multiple times, directing the cement's flow path down the annulus by gravity assistance. This results in lower bottomhole equivalent circulating densities, which reduces the risk of fluid losses, inadequate cement coverage and costly remediation in weak or depleted zones. Initial onshore field trials have proven the potential of this system, and it is now ready for offshore field trials.
Another advanced cementing technology is the RFID port collar. An interventionless fluid management device, the collar opens remotely to allow cement placement, fluid displacement and clean-up following cementing operations. The device's RFID communication system eliminates the need for wash pipe, intervention, wires or control lines, thus reducing completion time and risk.
An RFID hydraulic communication sub has also been developed to provide an interventionless means of diverting tubing pressure to set hydraulic devices in the wellbore. The sub interfaces with any tool that is normally set and activated via control line but without the need for a dedicated control line to pass through the hanger or wellhead to the surface. The sub is often used to set an annular safety valve (ASV), which isolates gas in the lower annulus to protect the topside facilities and personnel in the event of an unplanned release of gas to surface. This RFID sub/ASV combination has been successfully deployed in 35 wells in the Caspian Sea, saving the operator approximately 36 hours in rig time and intervention operations, valued at nearly $25 million.
As operators face the dual challenges of ongoing cost pressures and increasingly complex well profiles, RFID-enabled completion tools provide safer, more efficient and cost-effective solutions. DC

BkiUdjg5qoTDt4TW7Ssr | Q: Removing irrelevant characters from a sentence I have the following sentence:
**I**%%AABB%&&**WANT**%%AO%**ONLY**%RA%$**THESE**
I would like to extract only those words that are defined as relevant: I, WANT, ONLY, THESE, WORDS, NEXT, STEP. All other characters (numeric, alpha, special) should be removed from the sentence.
In this case, the resulting sentence would be:
I WANT ONLY THESE.
I have thousands of lines like these and each has its own set of characters between the useful words. Is there an efficient way to get rid of these in R?
A: string <- "**I**%%AABB%&&**WANT**%%AO%**ONLY**%RA%$**THESE**"
regmatches(string, gregexpr("I|WANT|ONLY|THESE|WORDS|NEXT|STEP",
string))
[[1]]
[1] "I" "WANT" "ONLY" "THESE"
EDIT: If you want to then convert back to a sentence, say I store the matches in an object called matches:
sentencify <- function(sentence){
paste0(paste(sentence, collapse=" "), ".")
}
lapply(matched, sentencify)
[[1]]
[1] "I WANT ONLY THESE."
A: Here is one approach, assuming you have a list to check against:
> mystring2 <- "**I**%%AABB%&&**WANT**%%AO%**ONLY**%RA%$**THESE**"
> mystring2
[1] "**I**%%AABB%&&**WANT**%%AO%**ONLY**%RA%$**THESE**"
> temp <- strsplit(mystring2, "[^a-zA-Z]")[[1]]
> myWords <- c("I", "WANT", "ONLY", "THESE", "WORDS", "NEXT", "STEP")
> temp[temp %in% myWords]
[1] "I" "WANT" "ONLY" "THESE"
A: If you do not have a list of relevant words, let hunspell do it automatically :)

BkiUe7vxK7IADTol2RgD | Rinse the rice well in a sieve and then add to the pan with 250ml of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cover with a lid. Simmer for 25 minutes without lifting off the lid, then turn off the heat and leave to sit for another 10 minutes for perfectly cooked rice (or simply cook according to packet instructions). Spread out on to a tray and allow to cool to prevent further cooking or use leftover rice, which this type of recipe is perfect for.
To make the satay sauce, mix two teaspoons of the soy sauce in a small bowl with the peanut butter, vinegar, one tablespoon of water and the sesame seeds, if using. Set aside until needed.
Break off the broccoli into florets and then using a small sharp knife, cut into small bite-sized florets. Trim the mushrooms and cut into slices.
Heat a work or large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Dry roast the cashew nuts, tossing regularly until evenly coloured. Tip on to the chopping board and once they have cooled down, roughly chop.
Add one teaspoon of the oil to the wok and swirl up the sides, then tip in the broccoli and mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender. Tip on to a plate and set aside.
Add the rest of the oil to the wok and again swirl up the sides. Tip in the cooked rice and stir-fry for a few minutes to warm through. Break the egg into a bowl and lightly beat, then make a well in the centre of the heated rice and then tip in the egg. Leave for 20 seconds or so until it starts to set then begin to gently break up with a wooden spoon and toss until evenly combined. Season with plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
Return the cooked vegetables to the wok with the cashew nuts and sprinkle over the remaining teaspoon of soy sauce, toss until evenly combined and season with pepper. Divide among bowls and drizzle over the satay sauce to serve.
This recipe is great for using up leftover cooked rice and once made will keep well for up to 2 days in the fridge in an airtight container in the fridge. The satay sauce will also keep in a small pot in the fridge and both can be transported and either eaten at room temperature or heated once in the microwave. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfibxK6EuNBRhKWGg | Everything you've heard from Odell Beckham Jr. about Josh Norman is wrong
Posted by Paul Eide (07/28/2016 @ 9:43 pm)
When Odell Beckham Jr. says he made 2015 NFL All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman "relevant" thanks to their battle during week 15 of the 2015 season, he sounds like a jilted ex-lover.
To watch the footage now, coupled with Beckham's endless quotes since then (a sign in itself that he was bested that day, like an ex-girlfriend who can't move on with her life), it becomes obvious what happened: Beckham, for possibly the first time in his life as an athlete, ran into a player that was better than him, and he didn't know how to handle it.
As Troy Aikman said during the broadcast, "Norman has owned [Beckham] in this game."
"People have been underestimating me since high school. And I don't mean that in the cliched way. I had to walk-on to even play in college," Norman told me in an interview for DiscoverBoating.com."That by itself was so much work. And I have just continued to work from then on."
Norman was an All-State football player in South Carolina but received zero scholarship offers and eventually walked on at Coastal Carolina, a school that boasted only two prior NFL draft picks in its history.

Joe Gibbs on the return of Crispy M&M'S and the forgotten Redskins' dynasty
For an unknown reason, NFL history has robbed the Redskins dynasty of the 1980s and early 90s of the recognition it deserves. But the real question is, why?
NFL fans remember the Packers championship teams of the 60s, the Steelers of the 70s, the 49ers of the 80s, the Cowboys of the 90s, and the Patriots of the present day. But no one remembers the Joe Gibbs-led Redskins.
From 1982 to 1991, the Redskins appeared in four Super Bowls and won three of those games, and in each game, they won with a different starting quarterback and a different starting running back.
Not content with one of the most successful coaching careers in NFL history, Gibbs created his Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR team in 1992. The team has won three Sprint Cup championships since 2000 with stud drivers like Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart.
At this Sunday's Daytona 500, the Joe Gibbs Racing Crispy M&M'S #18 car will return to the track after a 10-year absence, piloted by Kyle Busch.
We spoke to Coach Gibbs about flourishing in both sports, the upcoming Daytona 500, his relationship with Jack Kent Cooke, and why he thinks his success with the Redskins has been largely ignored. You can listen to the interview via the audio player or read the full transcript below.

Let's talk about Crispy M&M'S making their return to the track after a 10-year hiatus, kind of like you making your return to the Skins the second time.
Just about the same; I was 11 years, Crispy's been out 10 years. We're excited to have them back. And on Sunday's Daytona 500, every time that Toyota Camry comes off the corner with Kyle Busch driving it, it's going to be bright green and it's gonna represent the return of Crispy. So we're excited about that and I'm excited to be part of the M&M'S team.
You're an absolute titan in two of the biggest sports in North America, in the NFL and NASCAR. It's almost like you've lived two different lives, really. What's it been like for you?
I realize I'm one of the most fortunate people in the world. Because rarely does anybody get to have a dream as an occupation, and I've had two of them. It's a thrill for me. I know how fortunate I am and I appreciate being a part of two great sports.
And what I've found, is they are very similar, football and racing. Amazingly, they're almost exactly the same because it's what? It's people. It's picking people, putting them on a team and getting them to sacrifice their individual goals for the goals of the team. It's teamwork. And that's a big part of life. I'm thrilled to be a part of the M&M'S team and it's a thrill for us to race in a place like the Daytona 500 this Sunday.
Can you talk about (former Redskins and Lakers owner) Jack Kent Cooke and what it was like to work with him?
Mr. Cooke I think was a great owner, and for this reason: Many times he had a strong opinion. He'd stick that finger out and say, "You need to do this." But what he always said before I left the meeting was, "But it's gotta be your decision; you decide." Many times, if I did something and it turned out to be he was correct, he'd definitely let me hear about it. But Mr. Cooke always said to me, "It's gotta be your decision; you make the decision."
The other thing about Mr. Cooke, he was always at his best when things were at their worst. He would come in, he would visit me, I figured he was going to be upset when we'd be going through a bad streak of losses and he would say to me, "Hey Joe, we're going up and we're going down together." He had a favorite saying: "I'm going to lay down and bleed a while, and then we're gonna get up and fight again." He was special, I think, for me, just like Dan Snyder was the second go-around for me. I had two great owners.

NFL Odds for Thanksgiving Day
It's turkey day, and that of course means plenty of NFL football to go along with turkey and family gatherings. Check out our NFL Lines pages for all the odds for this weekend's football action. In today's games, the Detroit Lions try to break a long turkey day losing streak as the Houston Texans travel north. Houston is favored by three on the road.
RG3 is coming off a monster game and he leads the Washington Redskins into Dallas to face a Cowboys team that barely beat the Browns last week at home. Dallas is favored at home by three so this is basically a toss-up.
Finally, the New England Patriots travel to New Jersey tonight to take on the New York Jets. The Pats are favored by seven on the road even without Rob Gronkowski.
Enjoy the games!

Designer and glass artist Bořek Šípek was born in Prague in 1949. At the age of fifteen, Šípek was orphaned and subsequently raised by the famous Czech glass artist René Roubíček (b. 1922). With Roubíček as his mentor and guardian, Šípek gained an early appreciation for glass, which ultimately led to a successful career in the field. Today, he is internationally known for his whimsical and colorful neo-baroque glass realizations.
Šípek began his studies in furniture construction in Prague. Following the Soviet invasion of then Czechoslovakia, he immigrated to Germany in 1968. While in Germany, Šípek continued his studies in cabinetry, later going on to study architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Hamburg (he graduated in 1974) as well as philosophy at the Technical University in Stuttgart. In 1979, he earned a Doctorate in Architecture from the Technical University of Delft.
Šípek moved to Amsterdam in 1983, where he established his own architecture and design studio, Aletrego. By the mid-eighties, he had caught the eye of Italian design brand Driade, and Šípek began designing furniture, cutlery, glass vases, lamps, and other home accessories for the company. Šípek became one of the brand's core designers alongside contemporaries Antonia Astori (b.1940), Philippe Starck (b. 1949), and Oscar Tusquets (b.1941). His new collaboration with Driade helped promote his designs and earned him international acclaim.
Sometime in the late 1980s, Šípek, glass technologist Libor Fafala, and master glassblower Petr Novotný founded the Ajeto glass factory in the Czech Republic. The company's goal was to preserve traditional Bohemian glassblowing. Šípek's Czech identity was very much tied to his artistic aesthetic, and his glass pieces played a pivotal role in saving the glass tradition in his homeland after the Velvet Revolution—a period of rapid transformation and uncertainty. Šípek was also appointed court architect of Prague Castle by former Czech president Václav Havel—a position he held from 1990 to 2003.
Šípek has designed pieces for companies such as Alessi, Cleto Munari, Maletti, Sawaya & Moroni, Vitra, Scarabus, Wittmann, Swarovski, Leitner, Quartet, Sèvres, Saint-Gobain, and Rosenthal. His pieces are highly sensual and sculptural. Notable design include the Bambi Chair (1983), Jansky Chair (1986), the rattan Liba Chair (1988), Maletius Chair (1992), the Paris boutique of fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld (1995), various lighting fixtures for the Skoda stand at Volfsburg's World EXPO (2000), Olga Vase (2001), and a chandelier for the Beograd Opera House (2005).
Over the course of his career, Šípek taught design at universities in Hannover, Essen, Vienna, and Prague, and in 2005 he became the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University in Liberec, Czech Republic. He was honored with multiple awards, including the Kho Liang Ie Prize for Design (Netherlands, 1989); the title of La Croix Chevalier by the Order of Arts and Letters (L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres) from the French government (1991); and the Prince Bernhard Fonds Prize for Architecture and Applied Arts (Netherlands, 1992).
Šípek passed away in February 2016 at the age of 66 in Prague.

BkiUdvc5qhLAB70I4Nhm | Gerente é o indivíduo responsável pelo planejamento e controle da execução dos trabalhos de seus subordinados no dia-a-dia de uma determinada empresa.
No contexto da administração fiscal brasileira também corresponde a pessoa (em geral sócio-gerente) sobre a qual incide recolhimento de imposto (atualmente INSS) sobre pró-labore.
Olho do dono
No Brasil é famoso o ditado "O olho do dono é que engorda o boi", e bem difundida a ideia, entre as pequenas empresas, de que sem o olho do dono o negócio não prospera. O termo "supervisor" é comumente utilizado, principalmente na indústria, para designar funcionário que exerce produtivamente função idêntica à de seus colegas, mas que ganha um adicional no seu salário para "emprestar seus olhos para o dono". Quando a supervisão é mais especializada, exercida para um número maior de funcionários, sem funções produtivas, recebe o nome de gerência.
Essa ideia de "olho do dono" provavelmente já era popular bem antes da colonização pecuária. Era manifesta, por exemplo, no antigo Império Aquemênida, onde não existia o conceito de embaixador, mas eram nomeados "olhos do rei".
"Emprestar seus olhos para o dono" traduz em poucas palavras a essência da tarefa e das responsabilidades do gerente, antes mesmo de planejar ou controlar.

Zea Mays Printmaking

Individualized instruction and mentorship
I love sharing new methods of printmaking and helping artists break through a barrier and come to a new relationship with their work. My background as both a painter and a practitioner of bodywork provides the foundation for the way I teach printmaking. As a mentor, I help people slow down, and take the time to notice their own deep and continuing connection to nature and human nature. Highlighting the sensory experience of the world; seeing, touch, hearing, how we feel the breath, I help students make those sensory connections familiar as their sources of inspiration in their studio practice. I encourage people to make those connections with their own sensibilities. By being attentive to the texture, the feel of the inks, the paper and the tools of printmaking students learn to let the process guide and inspire them.
The areas of expertise that I bring to the mentoring program are: color theory applied to layering and color mixing for printmakers, viscosity printing techniques, monotype printing on and off the press, layering and combining monotype with woodcut, and alternative relief plates, collage, and polyester plate lithography, composition and articulating content of personal work.
Individualized instruction and mentoring is a collaborative effort to find and uncover visible experiences that cannot be expressed in any other way than through the exploration of these materials. I love being present for those moments, and helping each artist shape a series or a whole body of work in light of these discoveries.

BkiUbCE4c3aisGQulqrc | On the heels of a surprisingly successful season, the A's announced on Monday that they reached agreements on long-term extensions with executive vice president of baseball operations Billy Beane, general manager David Forst and manager Bob Melvin.
Terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Melvin's deal will run through 2021 and is valued at $3.5 million per season, which would make him one of the top five best-paid managers. The Chronicle also reported that Forst's deal runs through 2023. Beane is expected to remain immersed in the club's operations given his ownership stake.
With a style of play reflective of the climate of baseball in 2018, the A's won 97 games and reached the postseason via the second American League Wild Card spot. They lost to the Yankees in the AL Wild Card Game.
Oakland thrived on power-hitting offense, elite defense, a versatile, lights-out bullpen and capable starting pitching. And it did so as a relative surprise to most outside of the organization, particularly in light of having the Majors' lowest Opening Day payroll, according to Cot's Baseball Contracts, and within a competitive AL West that housed two other clubs that finished with winning records.
"I'm proud of the tremendous success of our team under the leadership of Billy, David and Bob and am excited to have that continue for years to come," A's managing general partner John Fisher said.
The contract status for Oakland's trio had been a topic of some uncertainty dating back to last offseason, as none of the three had deals in place beyond 2019 and the club had undergone significant changes on the business side. Melvin, for instance, was requested by the Yankees to interview for the managerial opening that went to Aaron Boone but was denied by Oakland ownership, and the A's didn't extend Melvin at the time or give him a salary increase.
"As far as the roster is concerned, we were all going to be here for '19 no matter what," Forst said. "So we've been working on that and thinking about '19 for a while. But certainly beyond, we have a young core that we hope is here into a new ballpark. So yeah, it helps clarify things there. The other part of it is running the organization and the stability of player development and scouting, Bob's coaching staff -- all these things that you think about wanting to have in place. Having the three of us signed goes a long way towards making sure that those things happen too."
"From the moment I got here, it's always been a special place for me for a lot of the reasons I've always talked about in the past," Melvin said at a press conference on Monday. "It just seems like every year, it gets more and more comfortable for me being at home. The people that you work for, the continuity in the organization, certainly the commitment now to going forward to a new venue and some of the players that we have here, so in the last couple of years in particular to really turn the corner as far as what you saw on the field last year, we feel like we can get better.
The 57-year-old manager has been with Oakland since 2011 and overseen four postseason appearances. He is the favorite to win the AL Manager of the Year Award, which would be his second with the A's. He also won the 2007 National League Manager of the Year Award with the D-backs, with whom he spent parts of five seasons. He also managed the Mariners from 2003-04. Beane said earlier this month that he'd like to keep Melvin in Oakland for the rest of Melvin's career.
"This has kind of always been the place for me," Melvin said. "I've been a couple other places before that but the minute I got here and going forward, I knew really this is the one place that I wanted to be and wanted to stay. It doesn't happen very often in the baseball world now that you're in a place as long as I have been in my position, so I'm just proud to be an Oakland A."
Under Beane, who is recognized as a pioneer of sorts for scouting and developing talent in today's environment, the A's have compiled a 1,793-1,607 (.527) record in 21 seasons, which is the AL's fourth-best record and seventh-best in all of baseball during that time. They've won six AL West titles and claimed three AL Wild Card spots. Beane joined the club's front office in 1990 as a Major League advance scout under former GM Sandy Alderson, then was promoted to Alderson's post after the 1997 season. He was promoted to his current position after the 2015 season.
Forst has worked alongside Beane for nearly that entire time, having joined the club in 2000, working his way up from assistant GM and then to his current post, which he's held since October 2015.
Beane outlined on Monday that Oakland's blueprint for success will largely be grown organically. Many of its talented nucleus were drafted and developed within the Athletics' farm system, such as first baseman Matt Olson and third baseman Matt Chapman, who were both selected in the first round of the 2014 Draft and who emerged as elitists on both sides of the ball in 2018. Lou Trivino, an 11th-round pick in 2013, emerged as one of the best bullpen weapons in the Majors.
Oakland has also been highly effective in the free-agent and trade markets. Since acquiring him from the Brewers ahead of the 2016 season, designated hitter Khris Davis has hit an MLB-high 133 homers. Blake Treinen, who they acquired from the Nationals, posted the eighth-lowest ERA (0.78) by a relief pitcher on record (since 1913) last year. Shortstop Marcus Semien, who was acquired from the White Sox, and relievers Fernando Rodney and Jeurys Familia, who were acquired from the Twins and Mets, respectively, were also paramount to Oakland's return to the postseason, as was outfielder Stephen Piscotty, who was traded from the Cardinals.
Beane said on Monday that the A's will continue to map out their long-term personnel strategy in a similar manner: by effectively striking in the Draft and making acquisitions externally that make economical sense. In the copycat world of baseball, Beane doesn't envision going blow for blow in the free agent and trade markets with the World Series champion Red Sox, who had the Majors' highest Opening Day payroll, three and a half times greater than Oakland's.
"Listen, copycat, that's a great team," Beane said. "It's the best team I've seen since 1998 with the Yankees. You may want to copy them, but the ability to do so isn't so easy ... If we're going to copy them, we're going to try and do our best, but it's a pretty lofty goal for anybody."
Beane did add, however, that he envisions Oakland operating with a higher budget in 2019.
"I would expect that to be the case," Beane said. "We're going to take a little more strategic view and look at it over a little more of a longer period of time instead of just one year at a time, which I think is a good way to do it. We're having those conversations now. To give you a simple answer now, yes, the payroll, we anticipate the payroll going up."
Beane also said that a primary offseason goal will be to fortify the starting rotation, which was Oakland's most glaring thorn. Even in an era where premiums are ever-increasing for the role of relievers, Oakland bullpened the AL Wild Card Game by starting reliever Liam Hendriks as an opener. That start would've likely gone to left-hander Sean Manaea had he not suffered a season-ending left-shoulder injury.
"Everyone is chasing that great rotation," Beane said. "Very few teams have it. It costs a lot of money if you're going to go out there and buy it. Ideally, it's created organically through the Draft. If you look at probably the ideal rotation is a club like Houston, where they essentially have two or three guys that could pitch as a No. 1 for most of the league. We have some really good guys coming."
Specifically, Oakland's top two prospects -- left-handers Jesus Luzardo and A.J. Puk -- are in the pipeline and will be key cogs to their long-term rotation. Puk underwent Tommy John surgery in April and is expected to be back at some point in 2019. Luzardo's rapid ascent through the Minors was stalled some with struggles at Triple-A Nashville, where he gave up 13 earned runs in 16 innings after compiling a 2.12 ERA over 19 outings with Class A Avancedq Stockton and Double-A Midland.
The A's will enter Spring Training with most of its 2018 roster intact. Their free agents include left-hander Brett Anderson, right-handers Familia, Trevor Cahill, Edwin Jackson, Shawn Kelley, outfielder Matt Joyce, infielder Jed Lowrie and catcher Jonathan Lucroy. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdfQ5qU2Ap2aRx6yE | If your battery is only lasting half as long as you expected, there are a few things you should probably check first.
1. Is it unusually hot? This can indicate a problem.
3. Check for iOS 7 software updates and problems, make sure your device is up to date.
4. Are you in an area of low cellular signal? This can cause the battery to drain faster than usual as the radio is working on overdrive trying to stay connected. Go to inflight mode until you're in better signal to save battery life.
You can see which apps are draining battery by double clicking on the Home button, then hold your finger down on the apps draining the most power and swipe them off the screen.
2. Check that all apps are going to sleep when not in use. The easiest way to check this is to quit the apps and see if you notice a difference in how much battery you are using.
3. Here's the age old advice, if it's not working, try restarting the device.
4. Reset your device, though we would advise you to take it to the Apple Store first, as one of the most common causes of battery life issues comes from iOS devices restored from backup. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdrw4ubng5asjo83w | Q: Is datetime data in Pandas supposed to be in the index? By supposed to, what I mean is
Is that the way Pandas is designed?, Are all Pandas time series functions built upon that assumption?
A few weeks ago I was experimenting with pandas.rolling_mean which seemed to want the datetime to be in the index.
Given a dataframe like this:
df = pd.DataFrame({'date' : ['23/10/2017', '24/10/2017', '25/10/2017','26/10/2017','27/10/2017'], 'dax-close' : [13003.14, 13013.19, 12953.41,13133.28,13217.54]})
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])
df
...is it important to always do this:
df.set_index('date', inplace=True)
df
...as one of the first steps of an analysis?
A: The short answer is usually timeseries data has date as a DatetimeIndex. and many pandas functions do make use of that e.g. resample is a big one.
That said, you don't need to have Dates as an index, for example you may even have multiple Datetime columns, then you're out of luck calling the vanilla resample... however you can use pd.Grouper to define the "resample" on a column (or as part of a larger/multi-column groupby)
In [11]: df.groupby(pd.Grouper(key="date", freq="2D")).sum()
Out[11]:
dax-close
date
2017-10-23 26016.33
2017-10-25 26086.69
2017-10-27 13217.54
In [12]: df.set_index("date").resample("2D").sum()
Out[12]:
dax-close
date
2017-10-23 26016.33
2017-10-25 26086.69
2017-10-27 13217.54
The former gives more flexibility in that you can groupby multiple columns:
In [21]: df["X"] = list("AABAC")
In [22]: df.groupby(["X", pd.Grouper(key="date", freq="2D")]).sum()
Out[22]:
dax-close
X date
A 2017-10-23 26016.33
2017-10-25 13133.28

BkiUcrg25V5hegR8YJVc | Rate this Article Although not all online casinos offer this, it's always best to take advantage of the free play option before spending real money while playing online slots.
If you compare classic slot games with current modern ones, you'll notice the huge disparity between them. Aside from the impressive range of themes, from famous TV shows like Game of Thrones to age-old popular topics like Greek gods and pirates, online slot games nowadays can have quite a number of bells and whistles that can be a tad bit overwhelming to a new player.
In fact, for some games, it can be kind of hard to understand what the game is all about; to get a feel for the game. Now, don't get me wrong - It's great that slot and casino software providers want to innovate their games; making those games a lot more fun and exciting by adding in extra features like bonus rounds, unique symbols or reel design, and more, but the number of new features introduced to a slot game need some getting used to. Wouldn't it be great to have a free "test run" option?
That is why for the for the past few years, online casino sites have started offering the great option of being able to play their slot machines and games for free.
Well, instead of having to place a deposit to play, you will get a nice pile of virtual currency to play with right after you signed up. For some sites, you don't even need to do that – you can start spinning those reels right away!
As mentioned, some slot games can be quite confusing to understand at first especially those fancier ones with special pay tables, unique reel design, bonus rounds containing a separate mini-game on the side, one-of-a-kind symbols and others. However, these are the sort of slot machines that are the most appealing, and you simply have to try it out.
Wouldn't it be great if you can try slots like these for free? Just so you can learn the ins-and-outs before deciding to deposit some cash and invest the money into the game. You can essentially test the waters before going all in to win it big!
Of course, you can also try all the slot games a casino site has to offer just to see which game resonates the best with you and your Lady Luck. Luck can be a rather picky lady, and thus, sometimes, you just need to spend a bit of time getting a feel for each of the slot games available before settling on a select few.
Since you won't be losing any of real money, playing free slots is also great if you're completely new to the scene and aren't very sure where to start. With free slots, you have complete freedom to learn as you play; to try different varieties of slots while trying to understand the rules as you go.
What About Real Money Slots?
Well, after a while of playing free slots, you might want to start ramping it up a notch and play real money slots. Unlike free slots, real money slots will, obviously, cost you some real money to play, but the thrill and enjoyment that you get when you upped the stakes is vastly different from simply playing slots where you have nothing, except virtual currency, to lose. It's just a lot more electrifying to play with real cash and if you do win big, the joy you feel is further amplified because... well, you actually got yourself some cold hard cash!
So, all in all, if you're looking for an online casino site to play some slots in, be sure to find one that offers free slots for you to play. You can thank me later for the free advice! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUaZPxK0iCl7UGU1XQ | Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces – What's Better?
In order to align the teeth the ways that are commonly used are Invisalign and traditional braces. Traditional braces are the oldest way to line up the teeth. It is used to correct the flaws in the teeth and to get the teeth in proper shape and structure. Traditional braces consist of stainless steel wires that are applied on all the patients' teeth and as the result of the force and pressure that is applied by that metal wire, the teeth move to the desired position.
When it comes to Invisalign, no wire is used as it is made up of smooth, flexible and transparent plastic material that is made according to the exact size and shape of the teeth. Apart from that, it is fixed on the patient's teeth so that no one knows that the person is aligning the teeth.
By comparing these two different types of braces, we find that Invisalign uses a more modern and advance technology than the traditional braces. Prescribed by the best dentists in Dubai, Invisalign is nearly invisible as it is of a transparent plastic material which is very hard to detect by the viewer while traditional braces are easily noticeable because of the wires, Invisalign is easily removable during the time of eating drinking and cleaning while fixed or traditional braces are irremovable during the treatment process. In Invisalign, no steel wire will be involved that can irritate the teeth and gums where as it might irritate in traditional braces.
Cleaning the teeth in new modern technology Invisalign is very easy simple by removing it while in traditional it is not that much easy cleaning of the teeth because of steel wire in it, because of steel wire on the teeth patient will not be able to see the clear picture of progress during the treatment procedure where as in Invisalign patient can easily check the progress at any time by simply removing the trays. In traditional Braces patient will have to visit the orthodontist to squeeze the wires to take the teeth in line which is very painful where as in modern transparent Invisalign it is very easy to wear and remove without any kind of pain. Food restrictions are in the traditional braces while in Invisalign there is not any food restriction as it can easily be removed at the time of eating and drinking.

BkiUdtg5qYVBgCinOrFT | Please Donate to the TKE Pi Mu Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon at Buffalo State College.
Imagine if everyone of our 350 Alumni donated $10.00 that would just about cover our liability insurance for a year.
We have set up various donation levels below to help choose what's comfortable for you. All donations can be paid with all major credit cards or Pay Pal. Thank you in advance for your support.
The Pi Mu Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon at State University College-Buffalo became an official chapter on April 24, 1982.
The induction was overseen by Silver Maple Leaf Award winner Ed Dominey, future Grand Prytanis Tom Castner and the Grand Hegemon Jim Margolin who became a future Grand Prytanis. The Induction dinner was held on the 38th Floor of the HSBC building in Buffalo.
The primary symbol of the Fraternity is the equilateral triangle. It appears proudly upon the Fraternity's badge, upon it's Coat-of-Arms, and upon the Fraternity flag. Equal-sided, representing the striving toward a full and equal development of mind, body, and heart, it means much within ranks of our Fraternity. It serves as a reminder, too, of the early days of the Fraternity and the traditions established by its founders, since the first three chapters of Tau Kappa Epsilon, which supplied the foundations for its growth, formed an equilateral triangle in their geographical relationship. The official colors of Tau Kappa Epsilon are cherry and gray.
On or near January 10th of each year, undergraduate and alumni chapters of Tau Kappa Epsilon celebrate the founding of our Fraternity and honor the five Founders. This day, known as Founders' Day, is usually celebrated by a traditional banquet. At this celebration, contributions are collected for the Founders' Student Loan Fund, and the Grand Prytanis sends a subtle message to each chapter to be read as part of the program.
This Horse shoe might just bring you some luck Too!
The official membership badge, made of either white or Roman gold and adorned with three white pearls, is by far the most important item of TKE insignia in general use. Only this badge may be worn by undergraduate members. Jeweled badges, crown set with pearls, diamonds, rubies or emeralds, according to choice, may be worn by alumni members. Frequently the standard membership badge is used as a token of engagement. Miniature badges are also available for mothers, sisters, or for engagement purposes. The TKE 'badge of gold', unique in its design and distinctiveness, has never been changed since its adoption. The meaning and connotations of the badge are revealed to members during initiation.
The TKE Coat-of-Arms consists of a shield of the Norman form, upon which is a bend with five equilateral triangles, surmounting a scroll bearing the initial letters of a secret motto in Greek, and surmounted by a skull, or death's head, three-quarters profile. This assemblage is done in the official colors, cherry and gray, properly mantled. Its connotation, or meaning, is also revealed by the initiation ritual. The Coat-of-Arms may be used only by official members of the Fraternity on stationery, jewelry, and other personal effects. It is used by the Fraternity upon its official stationery, membership certificates, and other documents. Distinctive and beautiful, the TKE Coat-of-Arms is vastly unique to that employed by any other Fraternity. Modified slightly several times during the early years of Tau Kappa Epsilon, the present Coat-of-Arms, adopted in 1926, was designed by Dr. Carlton B. Pierce and Ms. Emily Butterfield. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUeHE5qdmDNenr0olb | Q: Smooth out jQuery-UI blind effect on show|hide toggle of Google map iframe I'm looking for a better approach to show or hide a Google map iframe using a jQuery blind effect. As it stands now, the map jumps, blinks, and re-sizes itself several times as the blind effect takes place. Are there any suggestions for a way to circumvent this and smooth out the feature?
Here's a demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/hmMRs/
HTML markup:
<button class="button" value="Show map">Show map</button>
<div class="map" hidden>
<iframe width="280" height="280" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Google+Headquarters,+1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&aq=0&oq=google&sll=37.418436,-122.075443&sspn=0.093391,0.133381&t=m&ie=UTF8&hq=Google+Headquarters,+1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&ll=37.422151,-122.083983&spn=0.009543,0.011973&z=15&iwloc=&output=embed"></iframe>

</div>
Script:
$(".button").click(function () {
$(".map").toggle("blind", 1000);
$(this).text($(this).text() == "Hide map" ? "Show map" : "Hide map");
});
I'm relatively new to jQuery so any other comments about how my approach could be improved would be welcomed. Thanks!
A: I refactored the above code to use the slideToggle() method instead of toggle("blind", 1000) and that seems to have fixed the re-sizing of the iframe content. With this, I did have to recreate the map location center point so that it was located in the correct area of the iframe when expanded. The only noticeable bug is with my Opera 11.62 browser, it does not have the map location centered when the map is shown.

Why Filta
Franchising Costs & Investment
The Ideal Franchisee
Let's talk 1-407-374-3986
Franchisee Spotlight: The Hoover's Filta Family Franchise
A fundamental trait that you will notice with everybody in the Filta network is that we all care about the concept of family. It's a value that we look for in all of our candidates, so, today, we want to spotlight one territory that has redefined the meaning of a "family-friendly franchise."
Based in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, David and Zach Hoover have established an incredible father-son bond that they've brought to their Filta franchise. Learn about how the two have balanced their relationship as members of the Filta team and how COVID-19 changed everything about their business.
The Hoover's Filta Family Franchise
David and his wife Laurie started their local franchise back in 2016. It was at the point when their son Zach finished some college classes in business administration that David decided that it was time to get his son involved in the business as well.
At first, there was a learning curve of working together while maintaining the relationship they had as a family. It took a little bit of time for David to take a step back, and that changed when he realized the value that Zach could bring to the table as a blooming entrepreneur.
Zach explained that, "It also came as a learning curve to me. When I was in high school, I had my own company manufacturing livestock recreational feed. So I had my own ways of doing business; it was an uneducated way to run a business, but I was young. Coming into this and taking college classes, I've learned a lot."
Where does that motivation come from? As a kid, Zach saw his father repeat the same day over and over again in the corporate world, and he soon realized that he wanted to be in business for himself one day.
When you put what Zach has done into perspective at this stage in his professional career, it's pretty incredible. In his early 20's, Zach has secured a position as Operations Manager and is building skills he will carry throughout the rest of his life. He has learned a lot about networking, nurturing those professional relationships, and exploring ways to maximize efficiencies within a business.
COVID-19 and Changing Focus
Zach and David both play an essential role in building and maintaining good relationships within their existing clientele. Zach is actively involved in sales outreach and David plays a crucial role in managing the numbers behind the scenes. Nevertheless, no matter your age or level of experience, like many business owners, Zach and David had to both rapidly adjust as COVID-19 swept through the nation. Filta was there to help and the Hoovers were able to find their footing.
"In the beginning when it all came about," David explained, "Filta acted really quick." He went on to say, "They were looking for other ways to generate revenue for franchise owners, and one of those was FiltaShield; we jumped right into that. As soon as we had a product, we were reaching out to the community to try and get our name out there."
While a lot of businesses found difficulties in adapting, FiltaShield brought new business to the Hoovers, and one of the first jobs they were called to was at a local homeless shelter. As time went on, the Hoovers were serving that facility weekly, and it was a story that was soon picked up by local television stations in a "Hometown Hero" segment.
"So for the months starting in July right through last month, we're back up to 100% of where we were at last year sales-wise. It's because of the additional revenue generators and FiltaShield," said David that, "we picked up more customers from July onwards in just four months than what we did in the previous two years."
With all the hurdles they had to overcome, David noted that COVID-19 really played a big part in Zach's development and how it evolved the Hoover's business relationship.
He further said, "To me, that was the foundation to get Zach really involved in all of this. He was there with me; he was with me learning about sanitization and FiltaShield."
David and Zach have built a business for their family, but they've also established a community franchise that has helped people feel safer.
The two of them are doing their part to spread awareness about the importance of sanitization and the benefits of Filta's extensive catalog of disinfection services. Zach and David are both confident that the relationships they've created will stand the test of this global pandemic, and their family franchise can resume where it left off.

BkiUeHXxK4sA-5Y3tTQx | Body Language Analysis No. 4071: Fans' Reaction to Trauma - Young Girl Hit By Foul Ball at Yankee Stadium - Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence (VIDEO, PHOTO)
On Wednesday, New York Yankee third baseman, Todd Frazier, hit a 105 mph line-drive foul into the stands. Tragically, the ball struck a young girl. At last report, she is "stable" and recovering in New York-Presbyterian/Columbia Hospital.
From a body language perspective, the image below illustrates some highly characteristic behavior. Notice the three standing adults who are all facing approximately toward the photographer. The woman with her left hand touching her forehead, the man in the center with both hands on top of his head, and the man on the right side of the image covering his mouth and lower nose with his left hand.
When we witness or are told of a dramatic event - it takes a few moments to emotionally come to terms with what has transpired. It may be incredibly good news - or it may be awful. Sudden facial, head, (or less commonly neck) touching signifies that, although the intellect may realize what has occurred - the emotional brain takes longer to process it ("Emotional Processing").
But not everyone performs this sudden facial-head-neck touching (and certainly this photo is only a single frame) - yet those individuals who do display this reaction will also possess higher empathy quotients as well as higher sincerity quotients compared to the general population. Thus, this sudden nonverbal dynamic tells us not only what is happening in the thought-emotions of the moment - but it also is an accurate over-all personality predictor for how the person may react in other scenarios.
May this little girl make a complete and speedy recovery.

BkiUfbs5qhLBsCDnQwJC | NJC Demands Immediate Financial Autonomy For State Judiciary
ADEBIYI ADEDAPO
The National Judicial Council (NJC), yesterday, demanded the immediate implementation of the financial autonomy of state judiciary.
It commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his unequivocal position on financial autonomy for state judiciary and charged state governors to as a matter of urgency, begin its immediate implementation.
This, according to the council, was not only in line with the constitutional dictates, but at present, the judicial position.
The NJC also recommended to President Buhari, the appointment of the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad as substantive CJN. If the president accepts the proposal, he will send the acting CJN's name for screening and confirmation by the Senate.
Similarly, the council recommended the appointment of six judges as chief judges of their respective states, while two Khadi were tipped as grand khadis for the Sharia Court of Appeal in Kano and Jigawa States.
The NJC took the decisions during its emergency meeting in Abuja.
The meeting, which was initially presided over by Justice Umaru Abdullahi (rtd) , considered and approved the recommendations of its Interview Committee which screened the acting CJN and Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour for the position.
The Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC) had presented Muhammad and Rhodes-Vivour to the NJC for screening.
Subsequently, the plenary of the council presided over by Justice Muhammad recommended to the governors of Sokoto, Lagos, Anambra, Ebonyi, Niger, Taraba, Kano, and Jigawa States, eight successful candidates for appointment as chief judges and grand kadis for the states.
The NJC recommended Justice Muhammad S. Sifawa as the chief judge of Sokoto State High Court; Justice Kazeem O. Alogba for Lagos State High Court; Justice Ijem Onwuamaegbu as chief judge of the Anambra State High Court, and Justice Nwaigwe A. Anselm for the Ebonyi State High Court.
Others were Justice Aliyu M. Mayaki as chief judge of Niger State High Court, Justice Filibus B. Andetur for Taraba state High Court.
For the position of grand khadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal in Kano State, the NJC recommend Khadi Tijjani Yusuf Yakasai and Khadi Isa Jibrin Gantsa as the grand khadi, Sharia Court of Appeal in Jigawa State.
These were contained in a statement signed by NJC's director of Information, Mr. Soji Oye.
Justice Muhammad will be sworn-in upon approval of the president and confirmation by the Senate while other heads of court will be sworn-in after approval by the governors and Houses of Assembly in their respective states.
Oye said: "The newly appointed heads of court will be sworn-in after the approval of the president and their respective state governors and confirmation by the Senate and state Houses of Assembly as the case may be."
The council also considered notification of retirements of the chief judge of the Federal High Court, chief judges of Gombe, Edo, Niger, Ebonyi, acting chief judge of Kebbi State as well as those of nine judicial officers from the Federal High Court, High Courts of Gombe, Delta, Edo, Imo, Benue and Katsina States.
Following the suspension of the immediate past CJN, Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen, on the order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Buhari on January 25, 2019 appointed Muhammad as acting CJN.
Until his appointment, Muhammed was a justice of the Supreme Court since 2006.
Prior to 2006, Muhammad served as a justice of the Court of Appeal from 1993 to 2006. He was a khadi (judge) at the Sharia Court of Appeal in Bauchi State from 1991 to 1993.
Justice Muhammad was also a provost of the College of Islamic and Legal Studies, Bauchi State from 1986 to 1989.
Born on December 31, 1953, Justice Muhammad is a Law graduate of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria and also bagged his MSc and PhD from the same school.

BkiUajvxK6EuM_UboYky | Chip seal provides the opportunity to maintain the roads for very low cost.
A chip seal is about one fourth to one fifth the cost of a conventional asphalt overlay.
By extending the time between asphalt overlays, chip seal results in lower costs over the long term.
By placing a chip seal sooner than asphalt overlay would be placed, the traveling public benefits from roads maintained in better condition.
Chip seals eliminate the need to crack seal.
Chip seal enhances safety by providing good skid resistance.
Chip seal provides an effective moisture barrier for the underlying pavement against water intrusion by sealing cracks in the pavement.
Chip seal prevents deterioration of the asphalt surface from the effects of aging and oxidation due to water and sun.
DOT has successfully used chip seal for over 25 years to maintain state routes.
Chip seal is used only on low traffic routes, less than 2,500 vehicles per day.
Chip seal virtually eliminates black ice.
In hot weather chip seal reseals cracks by flowing back together. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdeM5qoTAjdlTMol6 | Laser-induced thermal acoustics (LITA) is a four-wave mixing technique that may be employed to measure sound speeds, transport properties, velocities, and susceptibilities of fluids. It is particularly effective in high-pressure gases (>1 bar). An analytical expression for LITA signals is derived by the use of linearized equations of hydrodynamics and light scattering. This analysis, which includes full finite-beam-size effects and the optoacoustic effects of thermalization and electrostriction, predicts the amplitude and the time history of narrow-band time-resolved LITA and broadband spectrally resolved (multiplex) LITA signals. The time behavior of the detected LITA signal depends significantly on the detection solid angle, with implications for the measurement of diffusivities by the use of LITA and the proper physical picture of LITA scattering. This and other elements of the physics of LITA that emerge from the analysis are discussed. Theoretical signals are compared with experimental LITA data.

BkiUdmo5qoYArXHsxc4h | What do you think that which one is important content or web design?
The maximum number of businesses knows the significance of the web design. They put more focus on the web design. However, do you have any idea that why the web design is so much essential for the business success in comparison to the content of the website?
It is not a common question to which you come across usually but anybody who is a web designer regularly has to face this query.
Why it is significant that which colors I use?
Why it is important that which page's side the call to action is present?
Why should I break the text into the small size paragraphs?
Why is the size of the images on the page necessary?
There are so many studies which show that the main basis for the trust is the web design and its elements in comparison to the content of the page.
Some individuals were asked about the unreliability of a specific website then almost 95 percent of the people said that its related to the web design and only 5 percent of the viewers held the content responsibly.
The above research was related to the websites of health. It acts as the basis for the instrument used by the designers of the web was the main cause of the issues.
All of us agree that one of the most important things for the online business is the content marketing. But content marketing does not happen in emptiness. It happens inside an outline of technology and design.
The beauty of the person might be inside the skin but the main influence occurs after the first look.
In the beginning, it might not be easy to tell that the design of the web is rather that produces faith. At the time of appearances, we have to give an open-minded decision. But, our knowledge and understanding articulate us that look does matter.
The main role in the web design is to remove the doubts of the customer.
There are some important points which Fogg make the credibility.
The first thing is that it is idiosyncratic and it is a superficial quality.
The second point is that it is multi-coated.
The decision of stepping forward and in relation to something is credible or authentic on the basis of the mass of factors. All such factors are functioning at the similar period. The consequence is a quick result about the credibility or trustworthiness of a website.
The customer has a verdict regarding the view (they understand it).
Further than the essentials like privacy statements, terms and conditions, memberships, industry seals, and guarantees, still there are so many elements of the design that can upsurge customer faith. The things like simple designs, clean design, and ample of white space benefits in comforting down the panicky hunt.
There is no single reason that why anybody should introduce the page or site to the new customer with a big sound of the video player or audio player.
There are certain marketing tactics and sites that are intended for smearing pressure and a distracted outlook on the client so that they can give a hasty verdict. However, we will never inspire any person who desires to involve in an enduring trade to utilize that approach.
There are few more elements which you should be correct for the phone number, business details, and testimonials.
There are many people who do not believe in the blind passages. They wish to see that where they are going.
The common characteristics of the intellectual website design are the navigation of the site. The navigation should be clean, clean and effortless. The menu of the site is not a right place to boost your capability or to use images play games.
You should consider your website as a roadmap. You must check if your site is difficult to navigate or not for other people.
You might ask some of your known who does not know about your site and just ask him about the experience of using the site.
You should keep in mind that which sites you have personally left owing to the poor menus and navigation.
The right function should be followed by the form. There should be no whistle or bell on the website without any motive.
For instance, the usage of UI Design and a UX Design for a site allows the visitors to effortlessly navigate and recognize the choices on the website.
As per the recent study of the web design, around 94 percent of the buying decisions are established on visual observation, whereas 84 percent of clients have mentioned color as the influential feature in their purchasing judgment.
Besides this, the color increases the comprehension, readability, and understanding of the content.
The above are the beneficial reasons that a person must pay attention to the tomes and colors of the site. The thinking of women and men is different and they react inversely towards the design elements and color on the site page.
Thus, keeping the combinations of color simple, vivid and clear is highly recommended.
Do you think that why the maximum number of hyperlinks is blue in color?
Well! Blue is deliberated to be one of the utmost "noticeable" colors. Anybody can see it.
What is the meaning of the qualified web design?
The maximum number of online trades will enquire visitors of the site for delivering the money at the certain point. The clients also anticipate from you to deliver a service or product which encounters their hopes.
The website design is just same as your appearance. It must increase the confidence of the user in you.
You will feel awkward while meeting with the consultant online through the video call who is having shorts or T-shirt with the cap.
There are different professional etiquette and norms of every culture. In fact, all the trades have their own standards. Thus, you have to keep in mind those expectations standards of the trades.
The web design which is good will have the right color, correctly create the design, and presentation with navigation, content,and amusing media. It offers you right space for any brand's service or product with full assurance, faith, and guarantee.
It can also grasp a customer's consideration, without instigating them to misunderstand. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 3 |
BkiUbWQ5qdmB62S3W4Yl | For 2020, the Mountain Aire goes through a life cycle change with new front and rear caps. The instrument panel remains the same, as this product received a completely redesigned digital "glass" dash in 2019.
One specific item Newmar's Floor Plan Team had as an objective for 2020 was to improve the amount of room between the bed and the nightstands in its gas products. The intent was to make it easier for the customer to make the bed and more easily getting their hands between the bed and the night tables. This approach was taken with the 4018 Mountain Aire for 2020.
The Mountain Aire 4018 is also different in that the sofas are smaller for 2020 (ODS sofa goes from 87" to 84" and DS sofa goes from 68" to 62"), and the dinette area is 71" is width instead of 75". By doing this, the rear bath area is 5 inches larger.
The Mountain Aire 4018, 4533, 4535, 4543, 4551 and 4579 are carry over floor plans for 2020.
The Mountain Aire 4550 and 4534 models are discontinued for the 2020 model year. These floor plans are replaced with 2 new offerings. These are the 4559 and 4569 floorplans. The Mountain Aire 4576 has also no longer available for 2020.
The popular Dutch Star 4002 model has also been added as a 2nd 40' floor plan in Mountain Aire for the 2020 model year.
The front living area offers an 84" chaise lounge and kitchen, including refrigerator and pantry on the off door side.
The door side of the front living area features a 62" hide-a-bed sofa with "televator" as well as a patio side dining area with a hide-a-leaf table with 2 fixed and 2 folding chairs.
A half bath is located mid-ship.
The master bedroom features a king bed across from which rests 2 shirt wardrobes, dresser and a Samsung 4K television.
The master bath area at the rear of the 4002 offers a 35" radius shower, large vanity and two wardrobes one of which can house the optional 2-piece washer and dryer.
The new Mountain Aire 4559 takes the basic footprint of last year's 4550 mid bath footprint, and adds a 3rd bathroom sink in the enclosed commode area, as well as entry points from both the front living area as well as the bath area.
The new 2019 Mountain Aire 4559 is a quad slide with the bedroom in the back of the motor home.
Mid-ship is a large walk through bathroom area with a large vanity with his and hers sinks. There is also a private water closet with a 3rd sink that can be accessed from either the front living area or from the rest of the open bath area.
There is also a large 50" X 34" glass enclosed shower with fold down seat.
The Mountain Aire 4569 is a modified version of the 2019 Mountain Aire 4534 model, which it replaces. The 4569 remains a bath and a half model with a full wall slide and U-shaped kitchen.
Mid-ship, the refrigerator and pantry, as well as the storage with shelves and drawers (smaller than the one in the 4534 floor plan) is situated on the off door side, with the roomy half bath located on the door side.
Rear of the bedroom is the master bath which offers a 40" X 40" glass enclosed shower, washer & dryer, and a two sink vanity with two wardrobes on each side along the rear wall. The wardrobe on the door side of the rear master bath is larger than it was in the 4534 in 2019 in that it extends forward all the way to the shower wall. This provides more total storage space in the rear bath of the new 4569.

The 2020 Mountain Aire will feature new exterior graphic and paint colors.
The optional chrome baggage door handles offered on Mountain Aire in 2019 are standard for 2020.
The rear wardrobe in the bedroom of the 2020 Mountain Aire will feature larger shoe storage on select models.
LED strip lighting above the kitchen slides will include lighting above the sofa or dinette areas (not applicable to the 4533 floorplan).

The main bath and half bath (where applicable) will feature newly designed back splashes in the vanity area.
New tile flooring, a redesigned feature ceiling and new art work will be highlights in interior design of the 2020 Mountain Aire.
A tiled foot prop and new soap dispenser have been added to the shower in the main bath of the 2020 Mountain Aire.

The galley of the 2020 Mountain Aire features a new kitchen faucet.
The rear engine cage has been redesigned and the step from the bedroom to the rear bath has been lowered as a result of this change. The horsepower and torque ratings remain unchanged, but the engine packaging is smaller and allowed for the engine cage size to be reduced as well.
A universal toll module is a new option available on Mountain Aire for 2020.
A new option for a passenger side monitor at the console (similar to what has been offered in King Aire and Essex) is available for the 2020 Mountain Aire.

BkiUbK44eIXguvMsunnF | Tim O'Brien - making the Celtic connection
How would you rather spend the latter half of January: putting up with the rain, wind and snow in Glasgow or cruising around the South Seas?
Last year, Tim O'Brien, a regular at the festival over the past dozen or so years, broke his Celtic Connections habit in favour of a cruise ship gig. "I had a great time," he says, "but it wasn't as good as hanging out with everybody in the late-night club and backstage at the Transatlantic Sessions concerts and wandering around the streets of Glasgow."
This time it'll be different. O'Brien will be back with the Transatlantic Sessions troupe, "listening as Phil Cunningham runs through all his jokes yet again." He's also looking forward to taking part in Canadian banjo player and composer Jayme Stone's celebration of the work of US folklorist Alan Lomax and teaming up with his partner in American roots music, Darrell Scott, with whom he recorded last year's Memories & Moments album, which by the time they arrive in Scotland may have earned them a Grammy award.
"The Grammys presentation ceremony is two nights before we're due in Scotland and with the time difference, that would mean flying in the day of the first gig," says O'Brien. "I have a feeling that Darrell would like to be at the Grammys but I'm not sure I could cope with the jet lag. It's quite a choice to have to make but in some ways, just being nominated is enough of an award in itself."
Memories & Moments was a long overdue studio follow-up to the duo's 2000 release, Real Time. With busy schedules in their careers outside of the partnership and Scott being hired to play with Robert Plant's Band of Joy for the two years before they got together to record, it was getting to the stage where they had to set time aside and make an album or go on talking about it when their separate paths crossed on the festival circuit.
"Music's a bit like cooking," says O'Brien. "You can have all these nice, fresh ingredients and as long as you have the time to use them, you'll make a nice dish. Fortunately our fruit hadn't rotted by the time we got together and we're even luckier that when we do meet up to play we fall into the groove as usual but at the same time, it's like we're hooking up for the first time. That's a rare thing but we do seem to spark off each other. Songs come together quickly and we kind of agree not to disagree. We'll change the key if it's not comfortable but mostly we're a natural fit. We start playing a song and off we go."
O'Brien and Scott's compatibility was obvious from the moment their respective music publishers arranged for them to meet up in the time-honoured Nashville songwriters' fashion. A room was booked and they got together and wrote Daddy's on the Roof Again, which went straight onto O'Brien's Rock in My Shoe album. A couple of writing sessions later they came up with When There's No-one Around, which was pitched almost immediately to country star Garth Brooks who turned it into a hit.
"I was aware of Darrell before we met," says O'Brien. "I'd see him playing with Sam Bush's band and we'd run into each other on the road. That's the great thing about living in Nashville: your home town becomes almost global. When I lived in Colorado, I'd go on the road and never see anybody I knew for months on end. But in Nashville, everybody – or so it seems – is a picker and a touring musician, so you'll be in some city somewhere thousands of miles away and bump into the guy from across the road. Anyway, as well as being able to write with Darrell, I quickly discovered that he's an explosive musician with a huge supply of ideas that he turns on instantly. I had some dates in Ireland booked and was looking for someone to share the driving and do some playing. Darrell agreed to do it and we've been having a ball ever since, or at least as often as time allows."
The two have similar musical backgrounds. O'Brien, from West Virginia, grew up with bluegrass and country music and the Kentucky-born Scott inherited a love of Hank Williams from his country-singer father and developed a facility with rock and blues guitar.
"Hank Williams is probably where we meet most naturally," says O'Brien, "and one of the things we really wanted to do with Memories & Moments was to pay homage to the country music tradition. That's why we have Hank's Alone and Forsaken on there and George Jones' Just One More. We also wanted to go for less of the one-on-one love song style and more of the spiritual and although we're not particularly political writers, we wanted to show that we could touch on something that matters and that's affecting people out there in rural America."
Enter one of O'Brien and Scott's heroes, singer-songwriter John Prine whose Paradise was written round about the time he was being feted as one of the many "new Bob Dylans" in the early 1970s.
"Just to have John Prine answer the phone when you call him is an honour," says O'Brien. "He's a national treasure and to have him singing on our album is still unbelievable for me. We had Keep Your Dirty Lights On, which reminds people that open cast mining is still happening and that's there no quick fix alternative if they want electricity in some areas, and we thought John's Paradise would be the perfect complement. So he came into the studio – we had the whole album, bar a few adjustments, done in three days – and he chatted for about an hour and a half about Paradise before we got down to work. When he wrote that song, the whole community turned against him because he was saying that the coal wouldn't last and there'd be no work. He'd seen the writing on the wall and forty years later, they're seeing that he was right and they're not mad at him any more."
Before they began recording Memories & Moments, O'Brien and Scott drew up a big list of songs that were contenders but when they recorded the first track, Time to Talk to Joseph, they went with what felt right as the next track and worked from there. It was, says O'Brien, like putting a set-list together for a gig or compiling a mix-tape for a friend. Being a multi-instrumentalist who can play guitar, fiddle, banjo and mandolin equally well, O'Brien wanted to ensure that the colours these instruments bring were all represented, as they would be on a live performance.
Something similar happens, he says, on Transatlantic Sessions, which this time around will include himself and Scott as part of the ensemble and as featured artists.
"The great thing about Transatlantic Sessions, the TV show, is that it's really the best combination of a jam session, a recording session and a live gig," he says. "You start by choosing a song and you go away and learn it. Then you have this really resourceful band of musicians that can bring in all these different colours to the arrangement. It's very relaxed and everyone has a lot of fun – it's much mellower than a regular recording session or TV show - but you've still got to get the programme done. The concerts have pretty much the same aim without the TV cameras being there and I always look forward to them. It's a good mixture of running into old friends – from both sides of the Atlantic – and meeting, hearing and working with new talents who might well become fixtures. As, of course, is Celtic Connections itself. All things considered, it's not a bad way to spend those dark days of January."

BkiUcr_xK4tBViZLFBAn | NBA Analysis: Even at Full Strength Wizards Outplayed by Knicks
Hoops Addict
By John Powell
Even with John Wall, Yi Jianlian and Andray Blatche back in the starting lineup, the Wizards (6-16) were unable to turn around their road woes after they returned to the Verizon Center on Friday. They dropped the match to the New York Knicks (15-9) by a 101-95 final margin.
The Wizards went winless on their 3-game road trip, falling to 12-0 on the road this year, an unfortunate franchise record. Needless to say, they needed a change of scenery. The Knicks, on the other hand, came to Washington with a 6-game winning streak and a 7-game road winning streak.
Both teams traded the lead in the first quarter, but the Wizards found their way to a 12-point lead in the second by breaking down the Knicks' defense and getting dunks by Wall and JaVale McGee.
The third quarter was a shootout, with the lead changing nine times in the quarter alone. Hard drives, fouls and loose balls forced both sides to play with more energy just to stay in the game. Kirk Hinrich came off the bench and kept driving to the basket. He did not make a shot, but was fouled three times and went 6-6 on his free throw attempts.
"Kirk Hinrich did a great job as far as going after the ball," Head Coach Flip Saunders said after the game, focusing more on Hinrich's four defensive rebounds, three in the third quarter, than his 13 points.
The Knicks kept the lead at the end, 76-73 going into the fourth, but sought to extend it. And they had a little help in doing it. Blatche waved his arms at a referee and received a technical foul, before the desolated Wizards took a technical for a 3-second violation.
With only three minutes left and Amar'e Stoudemire, who finished with 36 points, 10 rebounds and 11 turnovers, at the free-throw line, the fans started mixing boos with chants of "M.V.P."
"New York is not that far," said Nick Young. "They played great and you cannot do nothing [sic]. The fans were on their side tonight."
Wall drove to the basket in the last minute of play and, surrounded by three Knicks, put the ball up but could not find points or a foul.
It was the dagger of the game and of Wall's night. He finished with only eight points with a 4-14 shooting mark in nearly 37 minutes.
"Number one is that he struggles," Saunders said. "When he misses shots – this is most young players – they think a lot to their game is dictated by whether they make shots or not make shots. He is one of the few players in the game, and maybe he does not totally understand it yet, but he can have an impact on the game by not even scoring."
Gilbert Arenas added, "Hopefully in a few days, a few weeks, he will be back to himself."
It was Wall's first game back from a sore left foot, the latest part of an injury-plagued season for him. However, he is convinced that the Wizards are taking care of his health adequately.
"I think they are doing a good job," said Wall. "They leave it up to me and I feel like I am good enough to play … They are not pushing me to get back, but they want to know if I can go or I cannot go."
Washington now has two consecutive losses at home, and five consecutive losses overall, as the Knicks extended their streak to eight wins on the road. This is certainly not the scenario the Wizards wanted to see through a quarter of the season.
"We'll take tomorrow off, come back Sunday and Monday and have two good practices and get ready to play against the Lakers who come in with a full roster, Bynum being healthy to play," Saunders said. "It will definitely be a challenge for us."

BkiUaIvxK0-nUKDhn-2c | #Vision To Reality: 6 inspiring quotes from the 2015 TEDxEuston conference
Photograph — TEDxEuston Facebook
"The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs Dreamers who Do." – Sarah Ban Breathnach.
The recently concluded 7th edition of the TEDxEuston conference was a vision turned reality. The programme hosted some of Africa's foremost media personnel's, politicians, and entrepreneurs, who shared inspiring thoughts and ideas on shaping the African continent. This year's conference themed "Vision To Reality" held on Saturday 5th December at the Mermaid Conference Centre, Blackfriars, London, 2015.
Here are a few inspiring quotes from some of the speakers.
Mona Eltahawy
"My body is my own…"
The award winning journalist, activist and public speaker, Mona Eltahawy, shared stories from her book titled 'Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution'. Eltahawy has been openly defiant on Muslim issues and feminism in the Middle East.
Credit – Smithsonian.com
In an interview a few months ago, she said, "Do not be chaste self, rebellious, do not obey orders, and know that you deserve freedom." Eltahawy doesn't wear a scarf – hijab, according to her, the hijab does nothing to protect women, or change the way they are been treated.
In her book, she writes, [I was] traumatized into feminism — there's no other way to describe it — because to be a female in Saudi Arabia is to be the walking embodiment of sin." At the conference, she spoke of breaking the barriers of fear against the state, something she calls "the trajectory of misogyny." Eltahawy calls on Muslim, and Arab women to lead and maintain the conversation around feminism, sexism, in regards to the religions burden placed on them with the idea of modesty.
Robtel Neajai Pailey
"There is nothing uniquely African about corruption."
Credit – tedxeuston.com
The Liberian academic, activist and author couldn't have been more apt. It's amazing how most people, even Africans, equate corruption with Africa. For them, Africa is a synonym for corruption. But this is flawed thinking, corruption exists everywhere, even in developed countries. As a matter of fact, corruption is as bad in the US as in developing countries.
Pailey added that "Corruption is a function of both greed and poverty…" Robtel is the author of Gbagba, an anti-corruption children's book published two years ago to critical acclaim. She was also on the list of '25 Africans to Watch' by the Financial Times in 2015.
Nancy Kaangira
"We need to begin a dialogue between ourselves … It's time we start writing a new narrative that doesn't focus on the struggle, but on progression."
Nancy Kacungira

Nancy Kaangira is best known for spurring conversations around entrepreneurship and leadership in Africa, most notably on her weekly television show "Power Talk", where business leaders share ideas taking advantage of the ample business opportunities in Africa and being part of the solutions the continent needs. About three months ago, she won the first BBC World News Komla Dumor award.
Monica Musonda
"Don't happily be a spectator in your own economy,"
Monica Musonda, CEO of Java Foods, a Zambian based food processing company, said at the conference. The lawyer turned entrepreneur decided to start her own company after moving to Nigeria in 2008 to work for Africa's wealthiest man Aliko Dangote. "It opened my eyes to business, to the different opportunities that our continent offers and to a new thinking. What inspired me the most about Nigeria was the entrepreneurial spirit – the fact that so many young people are taking the leap and working for themselves," she said in an interview.

With encouragement from Dangote, Musonda decided to be an active participant in her country's economy; she moved back to Zambia and set up Java Food.
"Do you want to be a spectator or a participant in the growth of your continent?"
Lindiwe Mazibuko
"We must disrupt the political status quo …There is no one waiting to save us. We must save ourselves"
Until recently, this dynamic young woman was the Leader of the Opposition in the South African National Assembly. She was the youngest parliamentary leader of the Democratic Alliance's (DA) and the first black woman in South African history to be elected to the position of Leader of the Opposition.
Named South Africa's Most Influential Woman in 2012, this disruptive 35 year old is one rising political figure to watch out for in South-Africa.
"Somebody's benefiting from the absence of excellence and disruption in politics, in your country."

BkiUbY85ixsDMKtEoAPZ | Planning well in advance doesn't have to mean a year before, but if you are planning to travel in busy periods such as school holidays, it is good to make your enquiries and book at least 6 months in advance. If you are coming from Australia, flights will be required and if you can book early and get a good deal, it free's up more cash to spend on checked baggage (and other things). It also means you have a broader choice of accommodation and can take advantage of any early booking deals.
There are several specialist Ski Travel agents, such as the Ski Travel Company, who can provide the whole package for you. If you aren't sure where to go, they will be able to provide tailored advice and also often source the best deals that you would not be able to get yourself. These people have been to the destination, and will be able to share their insider knowledge and experience to find the best inclusions for you.
A fantastic thing about NZ is the many different ski areas accessible from the various accommodation hubs. For example, from Queenstown, it is easy to get to Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Cardrona. From Wanaka, you can be at Cardrona or Treble Cone within 30 minutes. So take advantage of lift tickets that allow access to more than one ski area, and go check out a few. Cardrona is a fantastic resort for beginners and intermediate skiers, and many people who chose to stay in Queenstown are really stoked when they make the effort to get up there. You will also improve more quickly by experiencing different mountains and ski runs. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Morning light on Kamares Harbor, Sifnos.
Today we motored into the tranquil Kamáres Bay of Sifnos and dropped anchor at 7:05 a.m. There was a cool soft breeze and the temperature was about 75 degrees. After the hustle and bustle of Santorini, Sifnos presented a decidedly different pace. The island appears to have had a number of names as the Roman historian Pliny reports that before Apollo's curse the island was called Akis. In antiquity Sifnos was famous for its rich gold and silver mines. Of the many legends concerning Sifnos, one that I like best as it tries to explain their loss of economic abundance, tells that the prosperous islanders gave a gift of a solid golden egg annually to Apollo's sanctuary at Delphi. One year they decided enough was enough and cheated and substituted a gilded rock. Apollo cursed them by flooding the mines and from that point on the island was known as Sifnos, meaning, "empty."
Once ashore in Kamáres we boarded coaches for our first stop, the beautiful Castro. On our way we saw the dovecotes built by the early Venetian inhabitants who considered the birds a delicacy. They also used the guano, like on Tinos, for fertilizer. We walked through the labyrinthine lanes of the Castro admiring the architecture and the fanciful chimney pots. These villages had no urban plan but grew organically which gives them their character. As we saw on Paros the islanders continue to use their architectural past. I noticed a home that used an ancient Ionian column as a support column.
There is no defensive wall in the Castro and so the inhabitants built their homes with the rear facing outwards and since there were no windows or doors it effectively served as a continuous wall. Some of us climbed down to the majestically sited Church of the Seven Martyrs situated on a rocky headland taking the full brunt of the sea. Its brilliant white and blue dome against the cerulean sea was breathtaking. Of course we had to climb back up! There were some great pottery shops in Kamáres and a number of us made purchases. Our final destination in this tranquil harbor was the beach—soft sand and perfect water temperature. Most of us took advantage of an invigorating swim before getting a tender back to Sea Cloud. Sailors went to their stations at 2 p.m. and we were at full sail by 2:15 p.m.
Imagine we were sailing a 2,500-ton vessel at 5 knots—and all that I could hear was the wind in the rigging. It is not stretching credulity too much to imagine our ancient ancestors sailing these very waters having a similar experience. Captain Komakin bade us farewell and wished us safe travels at the Captain's Dinner.

BkiUbSQ5ixsDMJPI2ilw | Sports biz: the big fix
Stewart Schley,
If you watched television in the 1970s, you may recall it cost $6 million to rebuild the body of astronaut Steve Austin, TV's bionic man.
So the few thousand it'll cost you to repair that mash of meniscus in your knee should sound like a serious bargain. And you won't need machine-tooled implants or a 20-to-1 infrared zoom lens fitted into the hole where your eye used to be.
All it takes is a few drops of a DNA brew drawn from your own body. And the steady hand of a Broomfield physician who is doing to professional athletes and weekend warriors the same thing a shadowy arm of the U.S. government did to Steve Austin in "The Six Million Dollar Man."
He's rebuilding them. Better. Stronger. Faster. And without ever touching a scalpel.
t's called the Regenexx-SD Procedure. Dr. Christopher Centeno is a partner in the Centeno-Schultz Integrative Pain Management Clinic in Broomfield, and on a recent Friday morning, dressed in blue scrubs, he's explaining how it works.
The CliffsNotes version is this: Centeno uses a needle to withdraw a small amount of marrow from a bone near your hip. He gives the red, fatty fluid to a technician who mixes it with a lab-prepared blend of factors that makes the stem cells contained in the fluid grow rapidly. Later that day, the fluid is injected into the area of injury. Almost immediately, the stem cells drawn from your bone marrow look around for something useful to do. Depending on the local chemical environment and the type of cells they attach to, they'll end up becoming new cartilage or muscle tissue, replenishing and rebuilding what's already there.
"These cells are the body's maintenance men," Centeno says.
It's similar to what happens when you break down muscle tissue by grinding through one last set of curls at the gym. Keep it up, and you'll find your body produces bigger, stronger muscles. Over time, though, the body stops producing enough stem cells to get the job done. That's where Centeno comes in. He's taking a known chemical process and enhancing it by optimizing stem cells to be better at what they do.
For the 500 or so patients who have had the procedure performed at Centeno's clinic, there are two big advantages: First, it means avoiding invasive surgery that may leave you with a knee that's a poor shadow of its former darting, swaggering self. Second, because the healing cells are drawn from your own body, there's almost no chance you'll reject them.
Not every weekend athlete with a torn cartilage is an ideal candidate. But for some, the procedure can seem like an unbelievable gift.
Adam Kahn is one of them. The 47-year-old owner of Lakewood's Meadow Creek Tennis Club tore the medial meniscus in his knee 2½ years ago while playing squash. The prognosis from a surgeon: grim. "He basically said, 'Your knee is never going to be the same.' I left his office pretty depressed," Kahn says.
But when a tennis acquaintance mentioned Centeno's clinic, Kahn was intrigued. He read about the procedure. He talked to five patients who'd had it. And then three weeks after Centeno squirted a stem cell cocktail into Kahn's knee, something remarkable happened.
"I had changed the way I got into bed at night," Kahn says. "I couldn't bend my knee to slide into the bed. And one evening I just started to climb into bed the old normal way. It scared me. But it didn't hurt."
Kahn's knee continued to improve, returning to nearly 100 percent of its capability within four months of the procedure. But in January, he re-injured it, again on the squash court. Four months later, he returned for a second procedure, having elected to freeze some cells from the original withdrawal. By August, he was back on the tennis court. (Although he's given up squash.)
Centeno sees big things ahead for stem cell therapy as an alternative to invasive surgery. He's convinced the day will come when promising young athletes freeze their cells for possible repairs later in their careers. Until then, he's content to help athletes recover from injuries with the greatest medicine of all: their own genetic material.
You've got to think Steve Austin would dig that.

BkiUfts5qhLB2E5MOu0n | Ecology drones track endangered wildlife
Unmanned aerial vehicles are being put to use to monitor wildlife, spot poachers, and chart forest loss

Mon 20 Aug 2012 06.25 EDT
They are better known as stealthy killing machines to take out suspected terrorists with pinpoint accuracy. But drones are also being put to more benign use in skies across several continents to track endangered wildlife, spot poachers, and chart forest loss.
Although it is still the ''dawn of drone ecology'', as one innovator calls it, these unmanned aerial vehicles are skimming over Indonesia's jungle canopy to photograph orangutans, protect rhinos in Nepal, and study invasive aquatic plants in Florida.
Activists launched a long-range drone in December to locate and photograph a Japanese whaling ship as the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society attempted to block Japan's annual whale hunt in Antarctic waters.
Relatively cheap and portable, the drones fill a gap between satellite and manned aircraft imagery and on-the-ground observations, said Percival Franklin at the University of Florida, which has been developing such drones for more than a decade.
''The potential uses are almost unlimited,'' said Ian Singleton, director of the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme, testing drones this year over Indonesia's Tripa peat forest where fires set by palm oil growers are threatening the world's highest density habitat of the great apes.
Conservation is one of the latest roles for these multitaskers, either autonomously controlled by on-board computers or under remote guidance of a navigator. Ranging in size from less than half a pound to more than 20 tonnes, drones have been used for firefighting, road patrols, hurricane tracking, and other jobs too dull, dirty, or dangerous for piloted craft.
Most prominently, they have been harnessed by the US military in recent years, often to detect and kill terrorism targets in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and elsewhere.
A conservation drone pioneer, Lian Pin Koh of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, says the idea came to him after another sweaty, jungle slog in Sabah, Malaysia, hauling heavy equipment for his field work.
''I told my assistant, who happened to be my wife, 'How wonderful it would be if we could fly over that area rather than walk there again tomorrow,' '' recalled the Singaporean expert on tropical deforestation, and a model plane hobbyist.
Ecodrones in the US are mostly custom-built or commercial models. Koh last year cobbled together a far cheaper, off-the-shelf version that poorer organisations and governments in the developing world can better afford.
He and partner Serge Wich bought a model plane – some are available in China for as little as $100 (£68) – added an autopilot system, opensource software to programme missions, and still and video cameras. All for less than $2,000 (£1,275), or 10 times cheaper than some commercial vehicles with similar capabilities.
This year, they have flown more than 200 mostly test-runs in Asia using an improved version with a 6.5ft wingspan, air time of 45 minutes, and a 15.5-mile range.
The drones were flown over rough terrain in Malaysia where GPS-collared elephants are difficult to monitor from the ground. In Nepal's Chitwan National Park, the World Wide Fund for Nature and the Nepal Army conducted trials on detecting rhino and elephant poachers.
''Counting orangutan nests is the main way of surveying orangutan populations,'' said Graham Usher of the Sumatran project, which captured one of the apes atop a palm tree feeding on palm heart in a sharp photograph. From higher altitudes the drones, he said, also provide high-resolution, real-time images showing where forests are being cleared and set ablaze.
By contrast, ground expeditions are time-consuming, logistically cumbersome, and expensive. A conventional orangutan census in Sumatra, which may also involve helicopters and aircraft, costs some $250,000 (£159,000). Surveying land use by satellite is likewise costly and hampered by frequent cloud cover over tropical areas.
But there are drawbacks with drones, including landing them in often thickly vegetated areas since they need clear touch-down zones of about 100-by-100 yards. Koh said he was working to rig the vehicle with a parachute to allow landing in confined space.
Franklin, at the University of Florida, said the hardware and image interpretation are still being developed as more missions are planned in the US, ranging from counting pygmy rabbit burrows in Idaho to monitoring salmon-eating seabirds off the Oregon coast.
The University of Florida is testing another antiterrorism weapon, thermal imaging, to hunt for Burmese pythons invading the state's Everglades, having found the snakes regulate temperatures of their nests in a way that makes them visible through such technology.
Other eyes-in-the-sky increasingly used for conservation tasks are ultralights, birdlike craft with a major advantage over drones – the human touch.
''It's the closest thing we have come to flying like birds 30,000 years after coming out of caves,'' says Mark Silverberg, preparing to take a reporter up in a paramotor ultralight, one earlier hired by conservation groups to photograph and video Mekong River dolphins, tiger habitat in Myanmar, and denuded hills in northern Thailand.

BkiUfmg25V5jgCb638xV | Home maintenance chores are daunting for homeowners. Especially for new homeowners who are unfamiliar with the repair and upkeep requirements of older homes.
Maintenance involving water intrusion or structural integrity issues should take top priority when the list of home-repair chores gets so large you need to prioritize.
Drainage issues: The most important element is "anything having to do with drainage or water flow."
Leaves are falling and gutters need to be cleaned. Gutters or drainage problems contributing to foundation problems are issues you should not defer. Clean out rain gutters and downspouts, repair stucco cracks, and use good-quality exterior paints to keep wooden siding and roof trim safe from dry rot, mold and mildew.
Clogged gutters cause water to run down the face of the home and along the base of the foundation. This can cause water to enter your basement and can result in foundation issues.
For water intrusion problems in your home, contact A-1 Foundation Crack Repair. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdCnxK7DgtAAQI5rq | How a Project Graduates from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation
the-new-stack-makers,
Microservices / Service Mesh / Technology
26 Dec 2018 3:00pm, by B. Cameron Gain
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon sponsored this podcast.
Originally created by ride-hailing firm Lyft over three years ago, Envoy serves as a network proxy geared for microservice service mesh architectures and was open sourced about two and a half years ago. About a year after Envoy 1.0's release, Envoy was accepted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as an incubation project.
During a podcast hosted Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief of The New Stack, at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2018, Cheryl J Hung, director of ecosystem at the CNCF, and Matt Klein, senior software engineer at Lyft, discussed how Envoy has benefited as a CNCF project, and consequently, how Envoy's lifecycle has evolved.
They detailed what happens when a CNCF project "graduates" and how users ultimately benefit from the process.
"Overall, it's been a great experience for us — the CNCF has been very helpful for helping us grow the project, not only from events perspective but helping with governance and just all those types of things," Klein said. "So, Envoy has had a pretty spectacular growth over the last two years since it's been open sourced and I think just through natural project growth and evolution especially during 2018, it became clear that it was time to look at the graduating criteria."
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon conferences gather adopters and technologists to further the education and advancement of cloud native computing. The vendor-neutral events feature domain experts and key maintainers behind popular projects like Kubernetes, Prometheus, gRPC, Envoy, OpenTracing and more.
Envoy's graduate status was achieved after the Envoy worked with the CNCF to see if the solution met the CNCF's criteria and its eligibility was finally put to a vote. "I think [graduation process has been] a great testament to the maturity of the project and the faith that the larger industry has in it moving forward," Klein said. Envoy started as an incubating project. "I think, that was mostly because we already had very widespread production use at Lyft. So, I think, we were fairly confident that it had a basic level of stability that made it acceptable to other users who might want to pick it up," Klein said. "The reason obviously they started the incubation is that Lyft at that time was the only user.
The CNCF-defined criteria include rate of adoption, longevity and whether the open source project can be relied upon to build a product, Hung said. Like every CNCF project, Envoy has "an associated maturity level." Hung said. "So, the maturity levels are a way of saying at the graduation level that this is something that's battle-tested and has good adoption and traction," Hung said.
Whether a project meets the criteria or not is largely managed by the CNCF's technical oversight committee (TOC). The TOC consists of community technical experts and evangelists who are elected and judge whether the production use case is sufficiently mature, Hung said.
Currently, Envoy has 10 or 11 maintainers from five different organizations. Previously, when Lyft first open sourced the project, "Lyft had the only people writing code, and actually, I wrote the majority of the code myself," Klein said. "If you actually look at the data over the last couple of years — and there is a great presentation where one of the maintainers did the analysis of project's contributions over time — Lyft's contribution has… actually declined," Klein said. "And then there's a curve going out from Google, and now we have a curve going up from all types of other players. So, it really has gone through three stages: from a Lyft-only project, a Lyft-Google project and now a Lyft, Google and a whole-bunch-of-other people [project]."
The process reflects how CNCF "is looking for is a sustainable maintenance system such that, you know, if one person or one company, for example, were to pull out, it wouldn't mean that the project would go away." "And I think from Envoy, we have clearly achieved that," Klein said. "I think that the project is now ultimately self-sustaining."
1:39: What is the prices you've [Matt] gone through in working with the CNCF on Envoy?
7:25: At the graduation stage, you have commitments from at least two organizations. How many commitments do you have now?
12:26: What is the usage of Envoy now?
17:19: When Envoy was an incubator project, was it in a sandbox at the time?
19:25: What have been some of the new projects that have joined the sandbox?
26:22: So how do you prepare the people that are coming into these projects?

BkiUcD7xK7ICUyBuzo1U | FAKE ID SITE TRUTH! DO NOT BE A FOOL READ MY WARNING!
Idhurry.com and bitcoinfake.com are of the same owner. EVERY picture on both sites are from the shut down reddit channel r/fakeid, stolen from other sites, or on google images.
After the bust of a somewhat famous fake id maker r/fakeid purpose could no longer be kept a secret and was shut down.
For so long a US based forum one should automatically not trust based on location where the FEDs have jurisdiction moved in on the channel. Started by a scammer to promote his scam fake id sites. Perfect harmony which the FEDs do all the time! Let the small fish go who keeps order (removing any post about his scams or FEDs) on the forum. In return the FEDs get to focus on those dumb enough to trust a fake id forum based in the US and bust sellers and buyers.
Getting many reports of IDGOD.ph selective scamming or maybe Texas boy as I know him got busted too. Just maybe the FEDs are running his site which they often do, until the word gets out, and they can bust no more buyers. You have been given the info I receive, be cautious.
UPDATED: As of February 2018 r/fakeid has been shutdown!
This is a dire warning for those looking for a fake id. I do not recommend ANY site I just hope people read this. I consider this the most important warning I have written.
Reddit has a channel r/fakeid. After many months of following, reading, and many emails I can't remain silent.
First Reddit is located in San Francisco California and according to Reddit's own policy this channel is in clear violation. Reddit has received many complaints and even news articles written on r/fakeid.
Now, why is this channel not shut down? It is the only channel that when it comes to illegal items assigns "vendor" tags next to the users name who makes fake id. You do not see this on any of the drug forums or other illegal items. Those forums strictly forbid reviews, posting URLs of sites, let alone assigning vendor statuses. After messaging mods of these other forums they made it clear that they have been warned by the upper staff of reddit to never do so and monitor these forums.
SO WHY do the rules not apply to r/fakeid?
First let me ask you, would you do daily shifts for many hours as mod for a fake id channel for months or years for nothing in return?
After months of researching I saw a pattern that many have emailed me about. Seems NEW legit fake id makers turn to r/fakeid to become reviewed and sell fake id. Most young and have not done their homework. After a few months of sales they simply disappear. In other words they get arrested.
Seems the perfect relationship! The FBI has found an easy way to catch new fake id makers. They overlook the scam mods who are scammers keeping order and quickly erasing any post exposing this or buyers not receiving their ID purchased. The scam mods make sites which anyone can tell is by the same few people over and over. Post a few good reviews as a customer, and scam away. Once too many are posting about never getting their fake id to keep deleting the mods claim it a scam. Next thing you know a newly registered site appears selling the same IDs and it is mod cleared as legit, backed by a few fake reviews, and off to scam again. Over and over.
I then reached out to every site listed as a scam. Most did not reply to defend, so I conclude they may well be a scam, but a few did. They were very aware of what I have written above and agreed. Basically, if you are outside of the USA in a jurisdiction like China where you cant be shut down by the FBI they label you a scam is what one site told me and actually sent me a free fake id to prove they are legit. Was a very good fake id. All I can say with absolute certainty at least one site on their scam list is not a scam.
I would say if you value your freedom avoid r/fakeid. Getting caught up in a bust of a fake id maker you ordered from and has your info as a customer. Even worse the id maker has already been arrested and the Feds are running the site or email and you make a buy.
Only sound advice is ENSURE the fake id site is not in the USA. I have read so many articles and the few sites in the USA or Canada (that are legit) get shut down. Only sites that seem to deliver are in China. Google "china fake ids" in their news section. Do be aware some scam fake id sites are using Western Union to send payment to China. Does not mean they are actually in China. Just collecting WU payments and sending you nothing.
Statistics show over 80% percent of college students have used a fake id to purchase alcohol and enter a bar. In today's world of government officials braking every law they make for the public it is no wonder those under 21 are seeking out fake ids. Why follow the law when those who make them do not? This seems to be the new motto of this generation and rightfully so. By law you are an adult at 18, can vote, go to war over oil for your government controlled by big businesses, but not responsible enough to consume alcohol? Something is very wrong and more are awakening to this fact. new breed of websites have emerged selling replicated fake driver licenses. Based in China chfake.com is well known on college campuses as the go-to website for fake ids. There are even websites that give detailed reviews of fake id makers like 21overnight.com or underground-review.com. Recently US congress sent a letter to the Chinese government urging them to take action and shut down the fake id websites. These requests have been ignored as China does not go on bended knee for the USA. Holding the majority of US debt and could collapse the US economy overnight by dumping the bonds that China holds, it is clear China has no need to be bullied by the US government. It appears very easy for these sites to slip their ID cards through Customs. Considering the thousands of parcels entering the US daily it is no secret Customs only search a fraction of what passes through. While the US government wants the public they see as sheeple to think they have total control, it is far from the truth. For as little as one hundred dollars a fake id can be purchased online. The fakes reportedly come encoded and will scan just as a real license with the Holder's information. Also, the ids include very sophisticated security features like microprint, ghost images, UV ink printing, and more. Printed on the same card stock teslin, these fakes are not just cheap laminated cards. They are highly accurate in replicating US driver licenses to where even experts, let alone nightclub doorman, can not tell them apart from a real government issued id card. Showing these fakes to doorman with scanners and black lights putting the fake ids through the tests. The doorman had no idea they were fake and reacted in disbelief. Some say it is best to wait until you are 21 years of age. With the internet and ease of purchase of a quality id card, underage college kids are finding it hard to not click their way to being 21 in minutes.
Update 11/09/2016 Reallygoodfakes.com changed the website name to niceident.com then started scamming and shutdown. Sold domain RGF which forwards curently to fakeyourdrank.com. Draw your own thoughts on that website. No legit site would befriend a scammer and identity thief, buy his defamed site, and forward to his site. Not if you are legit anyways don't you think?
KEEP sending me emails and I will keep reporting when I can group enough together and verify it as the truth.
The owner of Reallygoodfakes.com is Andrew "Fashion" Thompson www.andrewfashion.com This guy is a huge tool bag and enjoying his money off of stealing peoples identity. I have a ton of info on Andrew for anyone who emails me and wants it. This guy sent me everything including other illegal activity he is into.
Want a fake id? Take just minutes to READ my blog or ELSE.
I have spent a lot of time getting ripped off until I got a fake license a year back. I spent a lot of time to research and give you the definitive guide to NOT getting ripped off buying a fake id. If you do not believe what I say below or read it word for word, then you get what you deserve as I said above.
The fake id site shows you images or video of a license that is blurred out or covered. Covering up your own license information and image, then taking a video of it, like you made it, does not fool anyone does it??
They make you pay by Western Union. Western Union is law enforcements best friend. Only fast cash scammers use Western Union asking you to wire money to some name in a foreign land. Real fake ID makers never use this payment when law enforcement track the seller and buyer to arrest.
They ship by USPS. Not one legit fake id maker is in the USA or Canada anymore, I can say this with 100% certainty. Known fact the USA scans the front of all domestic mail and keeps a log (NSA). This means anyone in the USA mailing fake id can be busted. Just takes one LE to order the fake id, then check the database from where it was mailed, do a stake out, and the seller is toast.
Location... Location!. There are plenty of sites claiming they are genuine, but just wait until you see the novelty junk you actually receive in the mail, if it comes at all. Only legit sites operate out of China, like ID chief and a few others. Again, NOT one legit fake id maker is in the USA or Canada anymore, I can say this with 100% certainty.
That wasn't hard to read now was it? Now, if you only stick to the above warnings you got a chance. I do not recommend any sites, but you can always email me below with my advice on a site. I get lots of emails and try to respond to them all.
Phishing Business Examples Global You Paypal Avoid Email Must Home dq8PETwDO NOT BUY FAKE ID FROM A SITE THAT MAKES YOU SIGN OR AGREE TO ANY CONTRACT OR TERMS OF PURCHASE.

Kerami Manor has been painstakingly rebuilt after the original grand art Art Deco dame was completely destroyed in 2009.
The four-bedroom Hamptons-style home is now for sale with a $3.5-$4 million price guide.
Vendor Phil White poured $300,000 into the first property's restoration project in 2006, but he was forced to start from scratch after the manor burnt to the ground just two weeks before its completion.

"There was nothing left," Mr White said.
"I never got to feel that sense of achievement or completion, it was just taken away from me."
After three years of red tape, planning, permits and finding a builder who fit the bill, the rebuild started in 2012.
It took another four years and a whopping $2 million for the Kerami Manor to be reborn into a Hamptons-style mansion. Another $300,000 went to the Art Deco furnishings, which will be sold with the home.
"I wanted to build something unique while still retaining the history that comes with the manor," he said.
"There is so much character in both the home's architecture and even the beautiful location of Marysville."
Phillip White has listed his Marysville passion project after almost 15 years.
The formal lounge area showcases 1920s style.
The chandeliers were imported from Italy.
The large deck offers sweeping views of the Yarra Ranges.
The elegant home boasts soaring 8m-high ceilings, Italian chandeliers and wooden timber panelling, which resonate with its old-world charm.
Mr White said he would be sad to see his passion project go, but it was time to retire.
"It's an end of an era," he said.
"I love the 1920s era and that's what Kerami is, like a millionaire's retreat."
Marysville's housing market was all but wiped out by the fires, with just 14 of the town's more than 400 buildings left standing.
The original home was built in 1920.
It was completely original when the restoration began in 2006, before burning down in 2009.
The original Kerami Guest House was built in 1920 by Joe White, a brewer who supplied hops to Carlton United Brewery.
The manor had been operating as a bed and breakfast since the 1980s and is now being offered to the market as a business opportunity or indulgent family home.
The manor sits on just under one acre.
McGrath agent James Moss said the three-level home was a "rarity in itself".
"The feel of sheer opulence and grandeur, it's like walking through the life of the rich and famous," he said.
"There's so much to absorb, it's just like something you see in the movies."
Mr Moss said the purchase would be a "lifestyle choice."
"This property is for someone who is done with the rat race," he said.
"It is for someone who is looking for the lavishness, glamour and pizzazz of a Toorak mansion but in Marysville."
