Suminarti et al, 2018. Application of Organic Matter in Sorghum Plants (Sorghum bicolor L.Moench) var. KD4 on Dry Lands for Soil Nutrient Supply Improvement. JLSO 7(2):144-156.
The low content of soil organic matter and soil fertility are characteristics of dry land. Therefore, so the land can be utilized for agricultural farming, a material that is capable of acting as a soil improvement is needed, namely organic matter. The study aimed to examine the effect of the source and dosage of organic matter on the supply of nutrients, growth and yield of sorghum plants was carried out in July 2016 in the experimental garden of Brawijaya University. A split plot design was used in this study. The sources of organic material (sugar can waste, organic waste compost and cow dung) were set as the main plot, whereas doses of organic matter (125, 100 and 75) % of recommended dosage as subplots. The study was repeated 3 times. Soil analysis was carried out 3 times, namely: (1) before planting (BO, N content, P, K soil, soil pH and soil texture), (2) after application of organic material (BO and N, P, K soil content) and (3) after harvest (BO and N, P, K soil content). The agronomic observations were carried out destructively on generative phase at 80 days after planting (DAP) including the components of growth (root dry weight, leaf area, and total dry weight of the plant) and harvest at age of 90 DAP. F test at 5% level was used to test the effect of treatment, while the difference between treatments was based on LSD level of 5%. The results showed that there was a significant interaction between the source and dosage of organic matter on the variable leaf area and total dry weight. The highest yield was obtained in sugar can waste at various doses. Higher yields of seeds per hectare were also found in sugar can waste which is equal to 1.76 tons ha-1. The sugar can waste application is able to provide N, P and K soil elements of 18.3%, 85.68% and 8.42% respectively compared to organic waste compost and cow dung. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUeD3xaKgQNOzmp5oz | Flowering time for indoor is counted from the day the 12/12 light cycle is started and is based on the standard 4 weeks vegetative time from seed. It can vary depending on style of grow (seed plants/clones, hydro/soil, etc.), the products used, and quality of plant care. Outdoor flowering is also influenced by the time of sowing, soil/nutrients/water quality, weather, and pests.
Yield will vary in each individual grow because it depends on many factors that you influence: the size of your plants, light intensity, quality of plant care, cultivation style, products used, etc. Our max. yield is based on gr/m2 under 400W HPS/m2, organic soil cultivation with seeds and a 4 week vegetative time.
Aroma or taste is based on our results in organic soil cultivation. It can vary according to your style of grow, substrates, use of additional products (pesticides, fertilizers, etc.) and the drying/curing process. Avoid giving fish emulsion during flowering, using plant or bud boosters, and similar products.
Germination results will vary when pre-soaking seeds in water. Fresh seed stock can germinate under these conditions - but not always. Most often, only pre-germinating in moist paper tissue works for fresh seeds. But this is also not full-proof and should only be done if you have enough seeds to spare.
To prevent complications, and achieve the consistent level of high germination rates that you should be getting from our seeds, please trust our advice and follow our guidelines in the GERMINATION GUIDE. Customers who soak their Mandala seeds in water or wet paper tissue do so at their own risk. We are not accountable for any failure in germination or complications caused by this method. If you have any issues regarding germination please read our Germination Troubleshooting Guide carefully before contacting us.
Best deal: only 1,- Euro per seed!
From cerebral, "up" high to stimulating and deep relaxation, the full spectrum of positive vibrations can be experienced.
Contains medically valuable genetics for a broad range of applications.
400-550 gr/m2; 800-1200 gr per plant outdoor in the ground.
The Safari Mix contains a mix of seeds from various experimental crosses in our breeder lab. The strains are equally well suited for outdoor (balcony, greenhouse, up to 43° latitude in the ground; further north the harvest time can shift to middle/end of October). The germination rate of our mix is just as strictly controlled as with all our products. Please read our Germination Guide for details on how to plant the seeds.
In order to offer this favourable price it is not possible to pack the varieties individually, label each combination of mixes, and publish and print descriptions. Please don't ask us to "identify" certain plants from a photo. Because of the mixed seed batches and the various combinations in circulation, it is impossible to identify a specific plant (in addition to not being able to see the plant in a live state). Our Safari Mix is available at an amazing price and we must avoid certain labour-intensive steps in order to be able to sell the seeds at this low cost. We thank you for your understanding in advance and wish bountiful and sticky harvests!

BkiUdhw4dbghblPW5FFs | Dyhann Buddoo-Fletcher | Martin Henry a great SDA leader
Published:Wednesday | June 26, 2019 | 12:13 AM
"It does not take a great mind to be a Christian, but it takes all the mind a man has," wrote Richard C. Raines. Remembering Martin Henry since his passing on May 28 evokes a mixture of deep emotions, but for those who knew him best, there is sweet comfort in knowing that indeed he was a Christian, with a great mind, and a committed Seventh-day Adventist leader.
Four years ago, while speaking at a men's convention, Martin professed, "To be a Seventh-day Adventist means something different and special. We are committing ourselves to the scriptures as articulated in the doctrines of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We are committing ourselves to the principles, articulated in our baptismal vows … . We are a peculiar people and one of our sacred responsibilities is to understand what this difference means."
His formative years at home and at the Somerset Seventh-day Adventist Church in St Thomas were the reasons for Martin's sturdy foundation, which took him on a remarkable journey for 61 years.
"Martin's influence was wide, and despite his great knowledge and expertise in his field, he was humble and respectful to everyone," reflected Pastor Eric Nathan, the president of East Jamaica Conference. "Even if he differs from you, he speaks to you in such a calm and humble way that respect is not lost."
Martin preached, taught, mentored, chaired meetings, helped build churches, and did his farming. He shared in the joys and sorrows of ministry. While he did so, excellence was his mantra and he lived by the simple principles – always on time, on target, and well prepared.
It was only natural that Martin was ordained as an elder in the mid-1980s at Meadowvale Adventist Church. His penchant for good governance increased his sphere of influence beyond the walls of the church and his local community.
In the early 1990s, a move with his family took him to worship at Everton Park Adventist Church in Above Rocks, St Andrew. Then in quick succession, another move to Guava Gap Adventist Church. They needed a first elder and he answered the call. There he gave more than 25 extraordinary years in service. To that community, he was their friend, who was known as an evangelist. Some called him 'Pastor'.
A MAN OF DIGNITY
"Martin was an example of a man of human dignity whose moral compass was the Holy Bible, which dictated and guided his lifestyle, as well as the principles which characterised his very being. We remember him well for his meekness, humility, calm and quiet demeanour. His life bore the testimony of a genuine, courteous, loving, caring, graceful brother," said his friend, Dr Vermilline Gardner, from Meadowvale Adventist Church.
Martin's professional life never interfered with his church life, as he served faithfully on the following committees and boards of EJC.
• The Kingsway High School Board of Management, September 1995 to August 1997.
•The Good Samaritan In Management Committee, 2010 to 2014.
• Communication Committee, 2010 to 2014.
• East Jamaica Conference Executive Committee, 2002-2006 and 2014, to May 21, 2019.
• Chairman, Conference-wide Development Management Review Council, April 2019 to May 2019.
Pastor Meric Walker, executive secretary of the Jamaica Union Conference and chairman of the NCU media board, to which Martin was also member, confessed that he was no ordinary person.
"He has made his contribution in crafting and articulating changes that were necessary. He was a spiritual giant, a scholar, a sample of humility as we would have seen in Christ. We are really saddened, and we articulate from our hearts the condolences of the Jamaica Union. We pray for his family, we pray for his church, the institution for which he worked, and the loss to the media fraternity. May we be strengthened and find hope in Jesus Christ," said Walker.
The Adventist Church family truly loved Martin and his family. The members continue to pray for his wife, Jacqueline; son, Theodore; daughters Lawrie, Joanique and foster daughter, Tamara Chin.

BkiUdpQ5i7PA9OlIEsob | Let's say you're working on a page template and it's going to include a partial that's going to display recent custom post types (or maybe even the standard post type) of the post type you're viewing.
For example, say you're looking at the example of stories or something like that. And you're looking at a single page for a given author. Then, perhaps in the sidebar, it reads Read More From Other Authors, and it retrieves stories from up to five other authors.
Where additional custom post types may appear.
Writing a custom WP_Query, pulling back the five most recent posts, and dropping them into the selected area seems easy enough, right?
And it is. But there's a gotcha.
And now you'll get up to the five most recent stories from authors excluding the author that you're currently viewing.
I know, it sounds a bit simplistic, but it's something others have encountered (including myself, for whatever it's worth); otherwise, I'd not bother writing about it.
The short of it is that if you're looking list out a set of recent entries excluding the post you're already on, make sure that you use the post__not_in directive in your custom query. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Buffett calls for more taxes on 'mega-rich'
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is calling on the so-called "mega-rich" to pay more in taxes.
Buffett said Monday in a New York Times opinion piece that he would immediately raise rates on households with taxable income of more than $1 million, and he would add an additional increase for those making $10 million or more.
He also recommends that the 12 members of Congress charged with devising a deficit-cutting plan leave rates for 99.7 percent of taxpayers unchanged.
"My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress," Buffett wrote. "It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice."
Buffett noted that the mega-rich pay income taxes at a rate of 15 percent on most investment income but practically nothing in payroll taxes. The middle class, meanwhile, typically falls into the 15 percent and 25 percent income tax brackets and is hit with heavy payroll taxes. He said Washington legislators "feel compelled to protect us, much as if we were spotted owls or some other endangered species."
Buffett said he knows many of the mega-rich well, and most wouldn't mind paying more in taxes, especially when so many fellow citizens are suffering. He also said he has yet to see anyone shy away from investments because of tax rates on potential gains, even when rates were much higher in the mid-1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
"People invest to make money, and potential taxes have never scared them off," he said.

BkiUeBM5qoYA4o7sDfWR | I'm still in a relationship, will I benefit from coming?
Approximately 30% of the participants who come to Renew are in an on-again, off-again relationship. They are in the gray zone of indecision which causes much self-doubt, anxiety about the future and fear of making the wrong decision. These women have found that Renew helped provide the strength and tools to leave an unhealthy relationship and there have been some cases where women have later on reunited with their partner, but from an empowered, grounded place and thus the connection was a completely different experience. The retreat is not about the person you are dating or your ex – it's about YOU. The common denominator in your experiences is you – and our team helps you discover the wounds, subconscious patterns and limiting beliefs that are holding you back from creating the life and love you need and desire.
Am I too old / too young to come?
We've had women from age 23 to 68 come to Renew. Women come from all over the world, with different backgrounds, situations and ages come to Renew with one thing in common – they want change. They are ready to rewire old patterns and start their next chapter empowered, inspired and excited. They know there is more out there for them and they are ready to shift. Your age doesn't matter, your desire to create change for yourself does. A breakup is often a great catalyst for change and causes people to re-evaluate what's working and what's not. Once you've arrived at the decision that you want to move forward, the team at Renew can help provide the tools and guide you, however, we cannot teach someone to want to change. Don't ask if you're too young or too old, ask yourself if you're tired of living the same pain of the past and want to create positive change in your life.
Will I be healed after one weekend?
Anything that promises to be a quick fix to transformation or enlightenment is a lie. Nobody can heal you, only you can heal yourself. Renew's team of facilitators are the best of the best in their areas of expertise, and will help guide you through a process of healing, we will provide tools rooted in science, psychology and spirituality to help you emotionally regulate, reframe and rewire. However, once you have the knowledge, you are responsible for practicing what you learn to turn your knowledge into wisdom. Our intention is to provide you a variety of tools so you can create your own toolkit to use when you're back in daily life, to help you identify limiting beliefs and patterns and show you how to reframe and rewire, and enable you to experience an adventure of self-discovery in a safe and nurturing environment.
Can I use my phone during the retreat?
Renew is intentionally digital free so that you can be 100% present without the distraction of your digital devices. In the event you need to use your phone for emergency purposes you are able to do so in private as long as you do not disturb the group sessions.
What type of sleeping accommodations should I choose?
Our pricing is all-inclusive of lodging, food and programming. The only difference in pricing is your choice of accommodation type. The lowest priced option is shared accommodation (your own bed in a room shared with 2-3 other women) and there are also a few private room options available. Each retreat has approximately 12-15 women, and we sell out each retreat in advance. Note, as you are in programming from early morning until midnight, you are hardly in your room.
You arrive at 12 in the afternoon on the Friday, and depart on Sunday at 4PM. From the moment you arrive you are immersed in programming. All our meals are cooked by an on-site chef who is a nutritionist, ensuring we are eating healthy food, using organic and local ingredients whenever possible. A week prior to the retreat you will receive an email with pre-retreat preparation, along with the schedule. The entire process has been thought out and designed with intention, and we ask you keep an open mind and embrace the surprises, because we have many surprises planned for you. After All, this is an adventure.
Is there support after the retreat?
After the retreat, you will have access to a private Facebook group for Renew alumni and you will also be a part of a Whatsapp group for the women of your specific retreat. There is a 30 day exercise that you will be given (and paired up with an accountability partner from your weekend) to keep you on track and practicing the new tools learned over the weekend. Many women choose to continue private sessions with some of the facilitators, and that is completely up to you.
I go to therapy already, should I bother coming to Renew?
You will find that Renew is impactful because you are completely immersed in programming, experimenting with a variety of healing modalities, every hour, on the hour. This is very different from talking to a therapist once every while with weeks in between. Renew is not a replacement of any therapy, training or medication you are currently taking, it should be seen as complementary.
Can I come for only a portion of the retreat?
The program and curriculum at Renew has been carefully designed and tested to provide a specific emotional experience and it is important that you are there for the entire duration of the weekend. It also disrupts the harmony of the group if you are not present for all the group sessions.
Is there a retreat for men?
Currently our retreat is for women only. We are working on a men's version that will be launched in the future.
Does my sexual orientation matter?
We welcome women of any sexual orientation.
All participants that come to Renew must sign a privacy agreement before coming to the retreat.
The retreats are held in private estates surrounded by nature. For our East Coast retreats, you fly into JFK, LGA or Newark airport. The retreat will be a 2 hour train or Uber ride from Manhattan. For our West Coast retreat, you would fly into LAX and the property will be a 1.5 hour drive from the airport (traffic will impact the timing plus or minus). The address will be provided upon booking confirmation along with exact details of how to get there, often participants will carpool.
Can I send a friend?
Many people have gifted the Renew retreat to a friend or family member. Each participant must have a phone conversation with Amy before a spot is confirmed. Please email Amy to set up a call.
On Saturday, there will be a portion of time that is for private sessions or free time for enjoying the grounds and reflection. Upon confirmation of booking, you will receive information regarding the healing facilitators available for you to book a private session with. PRivate sessions are an additional cost.
I'm feeling scared about going. Is this normal?
Often the hardest part of the ending of a relationship, is not the relationship itself, it's the ending of a pattern. The biggest decision you will make is commitment to change – and it's completely normal for you to feel fear about that. Human beings like what is familiar – even if that familiar is painful. The unknown can feel so overwhelming or scary that it causes a person to stay in the situation they are in – even if they are unhappy, because the risk of the unknown is too much. Know that this a mental trap, and that growth occurs outside the comfort zone. If you're not getting the results you want doing what you are doing now, and likely have been doing for a long time, then it's time to try something new. It's okay to feel fear, but that fear doesn't own you. You get to choose. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

J. Wiseman Macdonald for Appellant.
Rosecrans Emme and Bayard R. Rountree for Respondent.
MR. PRESIDING JUSTICE FINCH DELIVERED THE OPINION OF THE COURT.
This is an appeal by the defendant from a judgment in favor of the plaintiff for damages on account of personal injuries alleged to have been caused by the defendant's negligence.
There is little conflict in the evidence. At all the times mentioned herein the defendant was the owner of a three-story building, divided into six flats, each flat having both a front and rear entrance. From a photograph contained in the transcript, showing the rear end of the building, and also from the testimony of the plaintiff, it appears that an independent outside stairway was provided for each of the flats in the second and third stories. For six or seven years before, and at the time of the accident, Mrs. Norma Vir Den held a lease on three of the flats, one on the second floor, one on the third, and the location of the third flat not appearing from the evidence. The plaintiff and his family resided in one of the flats on the third floor, under a sublease from Mrs. Vir Den. The rear stairway leading down from the plaintiff's flat had a guard-rail on either side thereof, consisting of a two by four inch scantling, apparently sixteen or eighteen feet in length, toenailed at either end thereof to upright four by four inch posts, and further supported by very light spindles toenailed to the treads of the stairs. Attached to the outer guard-rail, about three feet from the upper end thereof, was a pulley constituting one end of "a pulley type clothes line", the pulley at the other end being attached "to the back fence". This clothes-line was in use at the time Mrs. Vir Den took possession.
The plaintiff testified: "In the evening of that day I was taking some clothes off the line . . . and just as I got the clothes over here to where I could get them off the line . . . this guard rail gave way with me and I dropped three stories to the ground. . . . The line did not stick in any way. It pulled in easily. . . . When I went to reach for the clothes to get them, I had to lean against this banister to a certain extent, because I had to reach over to get my clothes. . . . As near as I can figure, I didn't have any weight at all, hardly, against the rail."
The plaintiff also testified: "Other persons besides myself and family used that stairway." His wife testified to the same effect. There is no evidence that other tenants used the stairway in question or that it was designed or intended to be used by tenants of other apartments. Mrs. Vir Den testified that no part of the premises were reserved for the defendant.
[1] "In the absence of fraud, concealment, or covenant in the lease, a landlord is not liable to a tenant for injuries due to the defective condition or faulty construction of the demised premises." (15 Cal. Jur. 704; Gately v. Campbell, 124 Cal. 520 [57 P. 567]; Toner v. Meussdorffer, 123 Cal. 462 [56 P. 39]; Daley v. Quick, 99 Cal. 179 [33 P. 859]; Farber v. Greenberg, 98 Cal.App. 675 [ 277 P. 534]; Nelson v. Myers, 94 Cal.App. 66 [ 270 P. 719]; Priver v. Young, 62 Cal.App. 405 [ 216 P. 966].) It is not sufficient to show that by the exercise of reasonable care the landlord could have discovered the defective condition, but in order to hold him liable it must appear that he knew of such defect. ( Ayres v. Wright, 103 Cal.App. 610 [ 284 P. 1077].)
[2] A qualification of the foregoing rule is that "where a portion of the premises is reserved by the landlord for use in common by himself and tenants, or by different tenants, a duty is imposed upon him to use ordinary care to keep those particular portions of the premises in a safe condition; and if he is negligent in this regard, and a personal injury results to a tenant by reason thereof, he is liable therefor". ( Hassell v. Denning, 84 Cal.App. 479, 482 [ 258 P. 426, 427]; Brown v. Pepperdine, 53 Cal.App. 334, 336 [ 200 P. 36].) This qualification, however, does not apply unless the injury occurred while the injured party was putting the unsafe portion of the premises to a use reasonably intended. ( Smelser v. Deutsche Evangelische, etc., 8 Cal.App. 469, 475 [ 263 P. 838]; De Motte v. Arkell, 77 Cal.App. 610, 626 [ 247 P. 254]; Shellman v. Hershey, 31 Cal.App. 641, 650 [ 161 P. 132]; Durkin v. Marshall Field Co., 161 Ill. App. 505; Glain v. Sparandeo, 119 La. 339 [44 So. 120]; Orcutt v. Kittery Point Bridge Co., 53 Me. 500; Stickney v. City of Salem, 3 Allen (Mass.), 374; Eisenhauer v. Ceppi, 238 Mass. 458 [ 131 N.E. 184]; Kinney v. Onsted, 113 Mich. 96 [67 Am. St. Rep. 455, 38 L.R.A. 665, 71 N.W. 482]; Kelley v. Lawrence, 195 Mo. 75 [92 S.W. 1158]; Walsh v. Frey, 116 App. Div. 527 [101 N.Y. Supp. 774]; Kucera v. Grigsby, 24 Ohio App. 457 [ 156 N.E. 249]; Gavin v. O'Connor, 99 N.J.L. 162 [30 A.L.R. 1383, 122 A. 842]; Robinson v. Leighton, 122 Me. 309 [30 A.L.R. 1386, 119 A. 809]; Landers v. Brooks, 258 Mass. 1 [49 A.L.R. 562, 154 N.E. 265].) In many of the cases cited, the alleged injuries resulted from leaning against defective railings. Some of the cases were not actions between landlords and tenants but between parties in such relations that the defendants were under obligation to exercise reasonable care for the safety of the plaintiffs. Powers v. Raymond, 197 Cal. 126 [ 239 P. 1069], is a case analogous in point of law.
There are other cases holding that, under the particular facts and circumstances thereof, it was a question of fact whether leaning on a railing was one of the intended uses thereof. ( Pavlovchik v. Lupariello, 101 Conn. 567 [ 127 A. 18]; Price v. Florsheim, 13 La. App. 298 [127 So. 22]; Urserleo v. Rosengard, 248 Mass. 542 [ 143 N.E. 497]; McGinley v. Alliance Trust Co., 168 Mo. 257 [56 L.R.A. 334, 66 S.W. 153].) If the defendant reserved the stairway involved in this case for the use of other tenants in common with the plaintiff, thereby becoming bound to use ordinary care to keep it in a safe condition, and if the clothes-line was in place at the time he leased the three flats to Mrs. Vir Den, then it became a question of fact whether he should have contemplated that a tenant would probably lean against the railing in drawing in clothes on the line. On the other hand, if there was no such reservation, then the defendant can be held liable only on proof of a hidden defect of which he had knowledge and which the injured tenant did not know. There is an entire absence of proof tending to show that there was any such reservation. If Mrs. Vir Den rented the two flats on the third floor from the defendant, then he was under no obligation to keep the stairway in a safe condition, even if she reserved the common use of the stairway for both tenants on that floor. Such a reservation would be hers and not that of the defendant.
[3] The court instructed the jury that "where a portion of the premises is reserved by the landlord for use in common by different tenants, a duty is imposed upon him to use ordinary care to keep those particular portions of the premises in a safe condition; and if he is negligent in this regard, and a personal injury results to a tenant by reason thereof, he is liable therefor". The giving of this instruction was prejudicially erroneous in that it implies, contrary to the evidence, that there was proof of such reservation.
[4] For like reasons it was error to instruct the jury that "you are the sole judges of the fact as to whether the plaintiff and the defendant, or either of them, had notice of the circumstances sufficient to put a prudent man upon inquiry as to the defective condition of the stairway and guard rail, and whether by prosecuting such inquiry he should have learned of such fact". This instruction implies that it was the duty of the defendant to keep the stairway in a safe condition and assumes that it was in a defective condition. It was a question of fact for the jury to determine whether the railing was in a safe condition for the uses for which it was intended.
[5] Another instruction stated: "If you find from the evidence that the defect or insufficiency of the railing of the stairway which caused it to give way was of such a nature that it could not, by the use of ordinary care, be ascertained or known by the plaintiff, but that it was known or should have been known by the defendant, then you must find that the defendant was guilty of negligence." This instruction not only assumes that the railing was defective, but, contrary to the decision in Ayres v. Wright, supra, states that the defendant was guilty of negligence if such defect "should have been known" to him. [6] Since it does not appear that the defendant reserved any part of the stairway for the use of himself or other tenants, his relation to the plaintiff is the ordinary one of landlord and tenant, to which the rule of caveat emptor applies. ( Toner v. Meussdorffer, supra.) That rule would be robbed of all its force if the landlord were to be held liable for hidden defects of which he had no knowledge but of which he could have learned by reasonable investigation.
[7] In another instruction it is stated: "If you find that the greater weight of all the evidence is in favor of the negligence of the defendant, . . . you should accept that as a proved fact in the case, while, if the evidence on that issue is . . . evenly balanced or preponderates against such negligence, it is not proven, and you should find that the defendant was not negligent." This instruction clearly implies that if the defendant was negligent the jury should find for the plaintiff. As stated, under the facts proved, the question of the defendant's negligence is not a material issue. The question for the jury to determine, under such facts, was whether the defendant was guilty of concealment, whether he knew of the alleged defects and failed to disclose them.
Other grounds urged for a reversal of the judgment, which are not covered by what has been said herein, are sufficiently answered by the authorities cited in respondent's brief, and therefore they need not be discussed.

BkiUfHjxK6Ot9TMSsiZb | The aftermath of any disaster that has directly affected your residence is most often is a traumatic situation that is filled with stress and uncertainty. Paul Davis offers the following tips and information that will help the recovery process go smoother.
Obviously, it's always important to make sure you and your family (and don't forget your pets) are safe and that you contact your friends and relatives to inform them that you are safe.
Be Safe: A water event can present many potential safety hazards to residents. The potential for slips, falls and electric shock are real. Also, items soaked with water can be very heavy. Only handle tasks that can be done safely.
Electrical: Turn off the power to affected areas of the property. Never operate your television or other electrical appliances while you are standing on wet carpets or floors.
Air Conditioning: Turn the air conditioner on to assist drying in the summer or in regions with more humidity.
Clothing/Fabrics: Transport wet items to a dry area. Don't let draperies to remain in contact with wet carpeting or floors.
Furniture: Move lighter pieces away from the carpeting. Place plastic wrap or plastic bags under the legs of larger furniture. Wipe any extra water off of the furniture.
Be Safe: Never reenter affected areas of the house until fire officials have deemed the home safe. Even after the fire is out, there are potential safety hazards to be aware of. The potential for slips and falls from the water that was used to put out the fire, and cuts and scrapes from exposed, sharp edges are real. Only perform tasks that can be done completely safely.
Going Back Inside: The effects of fire damage can be measured down to microscopic levels. Even for a short period of time, entry by a person can create additional damage. Enter ONLY if emergency personnel have cleared the property and deemed it safe to enter and only if absolutely necessary.
Electronics/Appliances: Do not use any TV, stereo or electronic appliances until they have been checked by a technician. If the electricity is off, empty the contents of your refrigerator/freezer completely and prop the doors open using a rolled towel.
Ceilings/Walls: Don't wipe or attempt to wash ceilings or other absorbent surfaces.
Food Items: Do not consume any food exposed to smoke or canned items that have been exposed to excessive heat.
Pets: Relocate any pets to a safe environment until your property has been restored and cleaned. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUeUTxK7IDBrtwRdE3 | Marketing departments are starting to turn the tide in the latest budget battle with IT departments. The theater of war? Social media. Our best hope for peace lies in savvy social media strategists that just might possess the pioneering spirit necessary to establish a collaborative truce - as long as they know what they're getting into, and how to stay several steps ahead of the opposition.
When discussions embedded with negative comments about companies first started popping up online, most marketing departments turned to IT for help in dealing with them. The initial response was to consider any online issue as a "trouble ticket" that involved trying to "remove" negative comments from the Internet and fixing the subject of concern quietly like any other customer support issue.
Much like computer gaming and hacking did before it, social media has evolved over the past 10 years from a pastime to an emerging career field. Companies have come to recognize that discussions about their products are happening online, and it is in their best interest to have representatives engaged in these conversations. Now considered a key component in marketing plans, social media marketing has earned its place in many a corporate budget.
For recruiters trying to fill social strategist positions, though, the process of matching qualified candidates to appropriate jobs is still in its infancy. Though salaries are competitive, with full-time jobs paying from $45,000 to six figures, truly qualified candidates are hard to find – and those that do present themselves frequently fail to give recruiters what they need to sell them up the ladder.
The following are tips for selling yourself as a qualified candidate for social media-related jobs – and justifying your job once you're employed.
Landing a wage-paying nonprofit job is becoming easier than it was during the last two years, especially with larger organizations.
A recent report from the human resources consulting firm Nonprofit HR Solutions indicated that the job market for nonprofit work may be stabilizing.Nonprofit Employment Trends Survey 2010 , a report in which over 500 nonprofit organizations were surveyed, said that while over 50% of respondents had to eliminate positions in 2009, only a tenth said they did in 2010. At the same time, approximately 43% expected to create new full-time positions in response to a rise in demand for their services, and most of these had a greater number of employees.
Scope out the scene: Research news stories to identify larger nonprofit employers in your area through their press releases and events. Compare community statistics to identify trends in growth between organizations.
I was happy to stumble on this review of my guest post by About.com's Joanne Fritz!
When we think of brand ambassadors, what often comes to mind are commercial icons such as Progressive's Flo or Subway's Jared Fogel. Their quirky personalities or personal stories are often the most memorable part of an advertisement, inspiring a sense of familiarity consumers are more likely to feel with other people, rather than a flat traditional brand.
The appeal power of "normal people" over spokespeople can also be seen in Honey Bunches of Oats commercials, where hair-netted and hard-hatted employees pitch the cereal from their posts in the factory.
This trend of using actual employees as brand ambassadors has been successful for companies wanting to bring credibility, likeability and memorable interaction with potential or established customers.
Fortunately, you don't need a giant and expensive nationally televised campaign to have a similar relationship with your customers. Believe it or not, you can get a similar experience from your Zendesk, with specific tools designed help turn support desk representatives into identifiable characters.
The brand-reinforcing aspects of Zendesk and its integrations make it easy to start a customer conversation and keep it going in a whole new way. These ongoing ambassador-customer interactions can generate a self-perpetuating, ever-expanding momentum with unlimited potential for lead generation.
If you listen to the hype, you might think there are two kinds of people out there: entrepreneurs and career employees. Entrepreneurs are seen as risk takers while employees are thought to prefer stability. But don't be fooled into thinking in these black-and-white terms when it comes to your career. With some creative strategizing, the right combination of employment types can serve you well.
You may have built up being your own boss as "the big plunge" or a "someday" dream, imagining a drastic change in lifestyle with long-sought freedom and unlimited income potential. Perhaps you are waiting for a big idea or the right partner to come along.
In actuality, anyone who gets themselves to work each day and does their best to make sure their bills are paid is acting as their own boss. There isn't much difference between working for an employer or a client. It's mostly about mindset.

If I don't set a viewport, mobile browsers will behave as if I set <meta name="viewport" content="width=960"/>.
If I set a static viewport with <meta name="viewport" content="width=500"/>, it will render at 500px for all devices that support viewports, so a tablet with a 1024px screen will render at 2x scale (and it won't be possible to zoom out).
If I set a dynamic viewport with <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"/>, it will render how I want it to, but it will also set the initial zoom to the device width. On a phone with a 320px viewport, it will start out zoomed in. It is possible to zoom out, but this is still a bad user experience.
I could use @viewport CSS device adaptation, but none of the major mobile browsers support it.
This just finds your viewport meta tag, checks if it contains min-width. If the min-width is less than the screen width, it replaces the meta tag with a fixed one.
At some point I'll probably make this polyfill support max-width, and also leave other attributes alone (although you really shouldn't use any of the others, since preventing user scaling is annoying). If you want to implement any of this, feel free to send me a pull request. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

The title track was a tribute to Pope John Paul I, whose brief papacy coincided with the recording sessions. The first single off the album was "Frederick", a love song for her husband-to-be Fred "Sonic" Smith with a melody and structure bearing resemblance to "Because the Night", the group's biggest hit. The second single, "Dancing Barefoot", has been covered by many artists.
The band broke up after this album was released, and Smith went on to marry Fred Smith and spend many years in semi-retirement following the birth of their children, Jesse and Jackson, until her 1988 solo comeback album, Dream of Life. The 1996 remaster of Wave includes Smith's original version of "Fire of Unknown Origin." Blue Öyster Cult's version was released on their album of the same name in 1981. The back cover of the original LP bore a quote from the Jean Genet poem, "Le Condamné à mort":
Oh go through the walls; if you must, walk on the ledges
Of roofs, of oceans; cover yourself with light;
Use menace, use prayer…
My sleepers will flee toward another America
Upon its release in 1979, the album garnered mixed reviews, attracting either positive or negative commentary on its polished production and conventionality. Reviewers such as Rolling Stone's Tom Carson, and Julie Burchill were not favourable in their reviews of the album, with the former negatively likening it to Radio Ethiopia, Smith's last album to be critically maligned and the latter concluding her review with "is this the blandest record in the world?". Simon Frith of Melody Maker was more appreciative of the album, praising Rundgren's hand in the production and considered the songs to represent a newfound focus for Smith and the band.

BkiUd684dbghU_Qx7jDo | Summer is becoming tired. For a couple of weeks, the dogwood leaves have been dusty looking, turned inward. The crepe myrtles have finished blazing. Some tress have no blossoms left. My pink crepe myrtle is loaded with buds, and time may bring late blooming yet. The leaves of a large sycamore at the north end of the street are coloring yellow. There are still lightning bugs. The marigold plant just started blooming last Sunday. Change time yes. This Saturday (22nd) is autumn. Old Farmer's Almanac says that this is the earliest autumn since 1896.
A week of cooler and drier weather was a blessing. Sleeping with opened window, fresh air throughout the house. The grass did not need weekly mowing for the first time since April. Yesterday was a day of rain and wind and overcast and tornado watches. Mowing will be in order as soon as the grass dries out. And then other yard work to help autumn keep things slower.
Walking in the Veterans' Garden early one evening, I greeted a couple with a happy and big dog. Much of the garden is being renovated. In one area everything is blooming. There are tall plants blooming red and small plants blooming purple. The small plants were emitting a muted cloying smell, like the perfume of a great-grandmother. Who planted them?
The rocker on my porch is large and old. It is made of wicker, and it has a comfortable cushion. In Denver it was in my bedroom, but now in the South it looks appropriate on my porch. On the cooler, drier days I sit and rock and look. After school, children have scooters, skateboards, basketballs, baseballs. Since a storm took the pear tree on June 1, there is a big opening of western sky, which is beautiful to see, especially at sunset. I missed the tree for the shade all summer, but it will be glorious to see that expanse of sky this fall and winter, especially when the neighbor across the street isn't burning his spotlights. A few nights ago I sat there until I saw one star. Before I left, I noticed that a spider was building a web at the top corner of the porch. Happy hunting, and good evening, spider.
Fiction of the week. (1) Thomas McGuane, "The Casserole," the story in the Sept. 10 issue of The New Yorker. It's a story that lends itself well to discussion. The point of view: how aware of the situation of the imminent ending of the marriage is the narrator? What is the significance of crossing from place to place on a ferry? What is the ironic use of the casserole as an image of ending, beginning a life in a place? For a couple of years in Denver, the school bought for two of my senior English classes a subscription to The New Yorker and each week we read and discussed the story and sometimes the poetry. Students did various projects on other pieces in the magazine according to their interests. When I come across a story like this, I miss teaching perhaps the most. (2) Wiley Cash, A Land More Kind Than Home. The multiple point of view adds complexity to narration and characterization. It is expertly used. The harrowing message is that evil sometimes is expunged by violence, leaving hope for new life. Evil is also overcome by reconciliation. The action is narrated directly, enhanced by the flashbacks. The use of images reflecting the violence, or potential violence, of situations adds to the forboding atmospheres: the bully child, the painful splinter, the dark barn, the threatening thunder cloouds. A first-rate novel set in the mountains of North Carolina.
Nonfiction of the week. (1) "Rooms" by Garry Somers. It's the opening piece in The Blotter Magazine, October 2012. The Blotter Magazine is "The South's unique, free, international literature and arts magazine." Go where such things are to pick up free and read "Rooms." My saying more, as you will see, is not needed. (2) The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow. On the first page of this New York Times Best Seller, this unabashed hubris: "How can we understand the world in which we find ourselves? How does the universe behave? What is the nature of reality? Where did all this come from? Did the universe need a creator? Traditionally these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead. Philosophy has not kept up with modern developments in science, particularly physics. Scientists have become the bearer of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge." (Quest for knowledge is not the same as quest for wisdom. Do these writers know the difference?) Philosophy is dead? Is that right? The Bulletin of Wake Forest University, 2012, announces that the university's undergraduate school has thirteen philosophy teachers and forty-seven courses. Let's let teachers and students in Philosophy 377, Metaphysics; Philosophy 378, Philosophy of Space and Time; Philsophy 376, Epistemology; and Philsophy 373, Philosophy of Science read and evaluate the book and see how dead philosophy is.
That said, thebook is an entertaining and clearly written treatment of advances in physics. It begins with an overview of achievement in the sciences from ancient Greece to the twentieth century. Because certain concepts developed later in the book require a reader to understand Feynman's view of "quantam reality," the authors give a thorough explanation of Feynman's ideas. Helpful color plates help the reader understand difficult concepts. The glossary is useful. I found myself reading through it before reading the next segment of the book. I particularly enjoyed the theory that the universe created itself. I found myself understanding many of the concepts, though not all. I read slowly and carefully, but I did not re-read for complete understanding. The search for these writers is "That abstract consideration of logic lead to a unique theory that predicts and describes a vast universe full of the amazing variety that we see." The finding will be the grand design of the title. The book is a good, interesting reading in the context of arrogance that I'd like to see countered, evaluated, or confirmed by teachers and students of philosophy.
I am alternating viewing DVD's from Netflix: Ken Burns's "Civil War" and Cesar Milan's "The Dog Whisperer." I hope the Burns documentary will include mention of the war poems of Melville and Whitman. Yes, Melville had concerns besides that white whale, and I'll re-read Whitman's "Drum-Taps" and "Memories of President Lincoln," all sublime poems.
Greetings, Bill. I pulled the hard copy of your latest Wednesday piece out of the mailbox yesterday (Sunday, September 23 – we didn't pick up the mail on Saturday). I read the letter while I watered the potentilla and Oregon-grape I recently planted in our front yard, where we used to have a struggling lawn and now have a lot of fresh cedar mulch waiting for new native plants. Normally, September is one of my favorite times of the year: the cottonwoods and birches turning golden yellow in the river bottoms and summer heat giving way to cool days and crisp evenings. Indeed, we've already had a couple of frosty mornings.
But we have been choking on thick smoke from wildfires in Idaho and the southern end of the Bitterroot Valley. It leaves me feeling edgy and a bit depressed. But it will snow, eventually, and I'll see blue sky again. And, in any event, I'll have your Wednesday letter to look forward to. Thank you for the good words from NC, and please keep them coming for as long as you can stand it! | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdoA4eIfiUUQN7JAJ | It's tricky to remark on how amazing it is that Erich von Däniken is still writing prolifically in his 80s, without sounding just a bit patronising. Nowadays, his books feel like extended letters sent from his mountain home in Switzerland. He's still analysing, arguing, questioning, probing. He bangs the same old drum, of course, but brings into the mix the newest scientific research, and the latest progress on the long, tortuous path towards disclosure. This helps to keep his newer books fresh and up-to-date. Erich von Daniken's early work has spawned a media phenomenon in the form of the successful 'Ancient Aliens' TV series. By comparison, books must seem a quaint anachronism from the point of view of the newer generations. But I appreciate them, being a bit of an old hand myself and I'm glad he's still writing them! | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Warren Commits to Decriminalize Illegal Aliens
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) declared in the second Democratic debate that we're all missing the point about illegal immigration. "The point is not about criminalization." But when asked by moderator Dana Bash, "Just to clarify, would you decriminalize illegal border crossings?" Warren responded, "Yes" before continuing: "The point is not about criminalization. That has given Donald Trump the tool to break families apart." To fix it, she suggested decriminalization as the solution…because, you know, having borders that are secure from terrorists and drug cartels are of no interest to American families.
Here's more form Free Beacon…
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) confirmed she would decriminalize illegal border crossings if she is elected president during Tuesday's second Democratic presidential debate.
Warren emphasized her solution to the current crisis at the southern border would be to decriminalize border crossings.
"Senator Warren, you say the provision making illegal border crossings a crime is totally unnecessary. Please respond," moderator Dana Bash asked Warren.
Warren: "Decrimilalize Illegal Border Crossing"
If elected president in 2020, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) will implement a scorched-earth policy on America's sovereignty and our border security agents, even decriminalizing illegal border crossings. It comes complete with a vow to "reshape CBP and ICE from top to bottom," create an Office of New Americans, raise the number of refugees by more than 100,000 in her first year as well, and put more than 11 million illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship. Warren calls it a "rules-based system that is fair, humane, and that reflects our values." But if public polling is any indication, the American people say, "Thanks but no thanks." Good luck with all that, Liz.
Here's more from Free Beacon…
Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has released a new immigration plan that would include decriminalizing crossing the border in a Medium post on Thursday.
"We need expanded legal immigration that will grow our economy, reunite families, and meet our labor market demands. We need real reform that provides cost-effective security at our borders, addresses the root causes of migration, and provides a path to status and citizenship so that our neighbors don't have to live in fear," the post reads, "That's why today I'm announcing my plan for immigration reform — to create a rules-based system that is fair, humane, and that reflects our values."
Along with decriminalizing border crossings, Warren vows to "reshape CBP and ICE from top to bottom" to focus them on smuggling and trafficking, and to use methods of monitoring migrants outside of detention, such as parole, case management, and surveillance.
Warren: Illegal Aliens Should Not Be Illegal
In her latest open borders remarks, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) made it clear she doesn't believe in American sovereignty. "I think that the whole notion of criminalizing the approach to coming across the border without documentation is not making anybody any safer. We just need to be in a different position on this," Warren said in an interview this week. Nevermind U.S. Customs and Border Protection data revealing that among the two caravans arriving in the U.S. between October 2018 and January 2019 the "women and children" Warren aims to protect were among some 1,520 previously deported illegal aliens convicted of crimes in the U.S., including murder, rape, and assault. Warren also conveniently forgets intel on ISIS incursions at the Mexican border.
Here's more from Breitbart…
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) does not believe it should be a criminal offense to cross the border illegally, she said during an interview with the California Nation podcast, which was posted Monday.
While the presidential candidate hit a number of issues during the broad discussion, Section 1325 of the immigration code, which makes it a criminal offense for people to cross the border illegally, became a highlight.
"Are you in favor of repealing that?" she was asked.
"I am," Warren said, arguing that "criminalizing" illegal entry does not make people safer.
Democrats Put on Red Alert to Block ANY Border Wall Funds
Democrats are refusing to acknowledge the open borders crisis of their own making and are continuing to deny any federal funding for President Trump's border wall ahead of federal fiscal year 2020, which begins Oct. 1. "In nearly half of the 12 annual appropriations bills House Democrats have ushered through committee, they have included specific language to block wall-related emergency powers," reported The Hill. The next big fight is the homeland security appropriations bill, which at this point rescinds $6 million in previous funding and provides zero border wall funding or additional funds for agents or checkpoints.
Here's more from The Hill…
Democrats on high alert to block any funding for Trump's border wall
Democrats are doing everything they can to block off any federal funding for President Trump's border wall amid rising tensions over the crisis at the border.
In nearly half of the 12 annual appropriations bills House Democrats have ushered through committee, they have included specific language to block wall-related emergency powers, limit the use of flexible funds and oppose refilling accounts that could be used to build the barrier.
Their efforts come as anger within the Democratic Party is rising over the treatment of migrants detained at the border. Lawmakers who visited the border on Monday described conditions as "inhumane" and "abhorrent."
CA State Budget Expands Healthcare for Illegals
Being on the brink of financial collapse is not stopping California officials from expanding healthcare for illegal aliens in its latest budget signed by Governor Gavin Newsom (D). "Newsom last month proposed providing $98 million a year to cover low-income illegal immigrants between the ages of 19 and 25," according to Fox News, but has now signed off on a "more extreme state Assembly's bill [which proposed covering all illegal immigrants over the age of 19 living in California]-a proposal that would cost an estimated $3.4 billion." Then again, that may be just a drop in the bankruptcy bucket considering the Third World diseases flooding into the Sanctuary State.
Here's more from Town Hall…
I mean it shouldn't shock us, but for those who are opposed to this nonsense, and there are probably quite a few in California, it's just another sign that this progressive cesspool only becomes more filthy with the latest $215 billion budget. It's been signed into law. Nothing we can do now. The California Republican Party is all but dead and virtual single-party rule has allowed for this insanity to flourish unchecked. It's part of the illegal alien lust that has driven California Democrats for years. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed off on the budget last week (via Fox News):
California's new budget, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom … expands health care for illegal immigrants and includes a penalty for people who do not purchase health insurance.
The provisions were among several measures in the $214.8 billion operating budget that Newsom signed before the midnight deadline. It is the largest in the state's history, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Pelosi: "Shouldn't be a Crime" to Cross Border Illegally
Nancy Pelosi has gone full open borders, now advocating that illegal immigration into the U.S. should no longer be a crime. "You cannot say anybody coming across the border is breaking the law," Pelosi said during her weekly press conference. According to her logic, no one can be called an illegal immigrant, and the act cannot be called a crime because some may be seeking asylum. That's curious. Whatever shall we do with the good folks at ISIS attempting to cross into the U.S. and set up terror shops? Should we offer them free health care as well?
Here's more from Washington Examiner…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi embraced the view of some Democratic presidential contenders that illegal immigration should not be a crime.
"You cannot say anybody coming across the border is breaking the law," Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday in her weekly press conference. "Not until there is a determination whether they can stay or not."
Pelosi echoed the view of some of the Democrats running for president, including Julián Castro, who called for the repeal of the specific statute during the presidential debate Wednesday night.

Dems Want to Give Health Insurance to Illegals
During the second round of the first 2020 Democratic presidential debates, candidates made it clear that they want to give health care to illegals. When asked to "raise your hand if your government health care plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants," every single one of them raised their hand. Joe Biden even insisted that illegal immigrants "contribute to the well-being of the country" and should get health coverage rather than jail time for committing a felony. The bottom line should one of these clowns prevail in 2020 is that illegal immigration won't be illegal anymore, and the hordes of immigrants coming across will get free health care to boot. That ought to work out really well. Just ask Germany.
Here's more from PJ Media…
In the second round of the first 2020 Democratic presidential debate on Thursday, all ten of the candidates onstage said their government health care plans would provide coverage for illegal immigrants.
NBC News co-anchor Savannah Guthrie asked the candidates — including frontrunners former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg — if they would cover illegal immigrants.
"Raise your hand if your government healthcare plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants," she said.
Every single candidate raised his or her hand.
Dems Divided over Border Relief
Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic cabal proposed a series of changes to a $4.5 billion relief package allegedly intended to address the humanitarian crisis at America's southern border with Mexico. Changes include requiring Customs and Border Protection "to establish health standards for children and adults in custody, including for nutrition and hygiene," according to The Hill. Pelosi emphasized that the bill was not an immigration reform bill "to meet the needs of our [illegal immigrant] children." In other words, Democrats are still hyperventilating over the notion that our sovereign borders should be-gasp-secured. Yet again, Pelosi has demonstrated why 2020 continues to incline in President Trump's favor.
The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote today on a bill that could further send $4.5 billion to alleviate substandard humanitarian conditions in migrant facilities at the southwestern border. However, Democratic lawmakers are divided on the provisions in the bill that many feel give President Trump too much leeway to use the funds to increase border enforcement, as reported by the New York Times.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., met with several congressional Democrats on Monday evening to discuss the rift over the bill which, if passed, could quickly send money to several migrant programs that are running out of cash. Many progressive Democrats wanted further restrictions in the legislation that would stop Trump from being able to funnel the funds toward border enforcement programs.
AOC Defends "Concentration Camp" Remarks
Our favorite socialist congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) refuses to recant and apologize for comparing immigration detention facilities–used by both the Trump and Obama administrations–to Holocaust-era concentration camps, with such egregious remarks as, "The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border, and that is exactly what they are." She then doubled down: "This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying. This is not hyperbole." Amid the outcry, she clarified that the Nazis ran "death camps." A distinction without a difference, Alexandria? AOC is well on her way to alienating every corridor of the American electorate.

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) doubled down on her egregious comparison of the Trump administration's use of detention facilities on the southern border to concentration camps and the Holocaust.
Ocasio-Cortez made the stunning remarks during an Instagram live video late on Monday night, alleging: "The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps. And, um, if that doesn't bother you, I don't, I don't know, I like, we can have, okay whatever."
Ocasio-Cortez doubled down on her false statement, tweeting: "This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying. This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis."

DOJ Brings Foreign Snitches to U.S., Loses Them
The Department of Justice "sponsored" more than 5,000 foreign nationals to come to the U.S. between 2015 and 2017 to act as witnesses in criminal cases… and then promptly lost track of 62 of them. In 18 of the cases, DOJ components "did not request sponsorship renewal or termination in a timely manner and therefore let the foreign nationals fall into an illegal status," according to a June audit by the DOJ inspector general. In one instance, "the case agent did not inform FBI headquarters of the foreign national's status until over 7 months after determining that the individual had absconded."
Here's more from The Daily Caller…
The Department of Justice "sponsored" about 5,500 foreign nationals to come to or stay in the country between 2015 and 2017 in order to provide assistance to the DOJ in criminal cases, according to a June audit from the DOJ inspector general.
Sixty-two absconded, escaping the DOJ's monitoring, and in 18 cases, DOJ components "did not request sponsorship renewal or termination in a timely manner and therefore let the foreign nationals fall into an illegal status," according to the report.
"Failing to report instances of absconsion inhibits DHS's ability to execute its responsibilities to locate and handle absconders. This is especially problematic for law enforcement-sponsored foreign nationals because these individuals often have criminal histories or are involved with criminal organizations," the report said.

Exchanges Round-Up: Price Spread and Institutions, Brazil Surveys Exchanges
In recent news pertaining to exchanges, Sfox has attributed a reducing spread in the price of BTC across exchanges to the increased presence of institutional investors in the cryptocurrency markets, Brazil's government has issued a questionnaire to three local crypto exchanges seeking to obtain data pertaining to their operations, and data from the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has revealed a steady decline in bearish pressure on the BTC futures markets in recent months.
Also Read: Transaction Fee Mining Exchanges: Highly Popular, Highly Controversial
SFOX Finds Increased Institutional Presence is Driving Down Crypto Price Spread Across Exchanges
Research conducted by Sfox has asserted that a larger presence from institutional investors has reduced the spread in the price of BTC across various exchanges.
Danny Kim, head of growth at Sfox, claims that the current spread in BTC prices seldom exceeds one-tenth of one percent, asserting that "Before institutional firms were actively trading crypto or heavily involved (before 2018) bitcoin price differences between exchanges varied as high as 4.5%."
Among the institutional players are a number of high-frequency trading firms (HFTs), according to Mr. Kim, who added: "Some HFT firms have been trading since crypto 2014, but have limited themselves because the infrastructure wasn't there. Most if not all HFT firms require a FIX connection at an exchange in order to trade efficiently. Crypto exchanges haven't offered FIX connectivity until recently."
Mr. Kim predicts that in future the growing presence of institutional investors will have a stabilizing effect upon BTC prices, stating: "As this trend continues, the stabilizing effects of institutional investment will extend beyond price spreads, and on to price fluctuations."
Brazilian Government Questions Three Crypto Exchanges
The Brazilian Ministry of Finance has issued questionnaires to the three local cryptocurrency exchanges among the top ten largest by volume. The questionnaire comprises 14 questions ostensibly intended to "subsidize study to Combat Corruption and Money Laundering," according to a rough translation.
According to local media, one of the exchanges has completed and returned the questionnaire, another exchange claimed to not have received such, and the third exchange claimed that it would not respond to the letter as the questionnaire was not technically mandatory.
The majority of the questions pertain to the exchanges' compliance, KYC, and monitoring procedures, in addition to information regarding the accounts and employees of the exchanges.
CFTC Data Shows Record Lows for Shorting Pressure on Futures Markets
Data published by the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission has revealed that the weekly number of short positions opened on the bitcoin futures markets continued to experience a significant decline during August.
For the week ending on the 21st of August, the number of non-commercial futures contracts of bitcoin totaled a net position of -1,266 contracts.
The number of bearish positions on the futures markets has consistently declined over the course of the ten weeks since June's high of -1,945.

Landslide Lamont Offers Mayors A Deal
by Thomas Breen August 14, 2018, 9:06 pm January 21, 2021, 6:30 pm
Ned Lamont (Thomas Breen / New Haven Independent photo)
Accepting his party's gubernatorial nomination with a crushing victory over a felonious opponent, Ned Lamont Tuesday night unveiled his first plan for getting the state's economy back on track.
In an acceptance speech from the stage of New Haven's College Street Music Hall, Lamont offered leaders of Connecticut's cities and towns a deal to help stabilize both their own and the state's finances: regionalization in return for support on municipal aid and local property taxes.
Lamont offered the deal after claiming a landslide victory over challenger Joe Ganim, the Bridgeport mayor who served seven years in federal prison for accepting kickbacks. Early returns showed Lamont with 84 percent of the vote statewide; the Associated Press declared him the victor soon after the polls closed. Susan Bysiewicz won the lieutenant governor primary, William Tong the attorney general primary, and Shawn Wooden the race for the state treasurer nomination.
Lamont addressed the state's fiscal crisis in his remarks at the New Haven victory party.
"We've got tough times. We have a budget crisis. The way we solve that is by working together," Lamont said.
One of those ways: Having cities and towns deliver some services together rather than with 150 or 169 different local departments. In other words, regionalism.

"I can't afford to subsidize inefficiencies any longer," Lamont declared. "We can save hundreds of millions of dollars by working together on shared services."
"I'll make you a deal, mayor," he continued, addressing Connecticut's collective mayoralties and first selectmanships in the first person singular: In return for their working together, Lamont won't join Republican calls to eliminate the income tax, which provides up to half of state government's annual revenue. He'll protect urban aid, which has been cut recently; and he'll look to shift the state's reliance on local property taxes to pay municipal bills.
"I'm going to invest in education and I'm going to reduce the property tax year one," Lamont vowed. "The middle class has paid enough."
Lamont also vowed to press for a $15 hourly minimum wage in Connecticut and pay equity for women. In contrast to Republican candidates blaming state unions for the fiscal crisis, in some cases calling for abrogating agreements, Lamont promised to honor collective bargaining and to treat labor with "respect."
He also vowed to make Connecticut a bulwark against the Trump administration's policies on workers' rights, gun control, the environment, immigration, and abortion.
Joe Ganim concession speech (Thomas Breen / New Haven Independent photo)
"They give Donald Trump an A," he said of the Republican gubernatorial primary candidates. "I give him an F. He's wrong. We're going to draw a line in the sand."
New Haven Mayor Toni Harp noted New Haven's support for Lamont in the primary.
"New Haven led for Ned Lamont," Harp said in a speech at the Music Hall before Lamont himself spoke. "Just like Ned believes that we've got to get guns out of the hands of our children, New Haven believes the same. Just like Ned believes that we should have great paying jobs for everyone, New Haven believes the same. And just like New Haven knows, all of Connecticut knows that if cities are going to prosper in this state, we have got to have Ned for our next governor."
About a quarter of New Haven's registered Democrats turned out to vote Tuesday, roughly similar to the turnout eight years ago for the last contested Democratic gubernatorial primary. Lamont crushed Ganim 3-1 in the city, based on results from the voting machines, 6,593 (74 percent) to 2,242 (26 percent); up to 956 absentee ballots remained to be counted.
With about 96 percent of precincts reporting Lamont received 68,326 votes to Ganim's 38,166 votes.
Endorsed Candidates Sweep Underticket Races
On Tuesday, all the party endorsed candidates won their races for lieutenant governor, attorney general, and state treasurer.
In the race for lieutenant governor, former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz took a convincing 62.2 percent of the vote to Eva Bermudez Zimmerman's 37.8 percent, which is about the same as the Democratic convention split between the two.
In a three-way race for attorney general on the Democratic side, Rep. William Tong defeated Sen. Paul Doyle and former federal prosecutor Chris Mattei with 57.3 percent of the vote.
In the race for the open state Treasurer's seat, Shawn Wooden beat Dita Bhargava with 56.7 percent of the vote. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Environmentalist warns of action over expo center
MAI KHAO: Thanu Naep-nien, spokesperson for the environmentalist group Wildlife Fund Thailand, today warned that action will be taken if protected sea turtles that lay their eggs on Nai Yang Beach, in Sirinart National Park, are affected by the proposed international convention and exhibition center (CEC). "If the site is near Nai Yang beach, it will affect every sea turtle that lays eggs there," K. Thanu said. He acknowledged that he did not know the exact location of the site, but warned that action will be taken if turtles are affected. Last Wednesday, local officials confirmed that the CEC is to be built on a 2,800-rai site owned by the government on neighboring Mai Khao Beach. "The provincial authorities should have consulted local people for their opinions before deciding where the site will be. Instead, a handful of government officers made this decision by themselves, so there may be problems later," said K. Thanu. "At the moment, a lot of people are excited about the idea, but I'm not sure whether it will happen or not," he added. "It's the government's responsibility to make sure that this project is a success and that it brings money into Thailand. The government has claimed many times that income from projects like this will benefit local people. "I don't think so. Usually, the local people are given jobs as waitresses, bellboys or cleaners. The general manager is brought in from another country and Burmese workers are employed [for the construction]."

The space for CSOs to be in the official delegation is very limited and hence, the large number of us representing diverse communities, constituencies, issues and several countries and regions are excluded from such intergovernmental processes, even just as an observer, let alone a negotiator.
Waiting anxiously outside those closed doors, looking for opportunities to talk to our allies to even be informed of the discussions behind the doors is the lived reality of the CSOs at most of such intergovernmental spaces at the UN in New York. Such exclusionary processes defeat the principles of transparency. However, we as CSOs, navigate our ways and still manage to find our spaces through strategic organising and consultations. While we should not stop questioning these processes with shrinking spaces for CSOs, it is also important for us to keep maximising these opportunities to push our agenda of SRHR for all. Our opportunities could be anywhere and at any spaces. I would not have known that corridor advocacy even existed had it not been for circumstances like this.
As the member states negotiate for the Agreed Conclusion of #CSW63 behind those closed doors, SRHR is yet again the most contentious agenda of debate. The biggest push back, as expected is against the inclusion of sexual rights specially on any references to LBTIQ. Further, diverse forms of families are not recognised and that any references to families are denied by the countries with strong religious influences. Inclusion of even the language such as Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) which was agreed 25 years back at ICPD was debated against by the USA. For SRHR activists and advocates, the battle therefore is not just about pushing for progressive languages in the Agreed Conclusions, but also about retaining some gains made in the past including in international documents such as ICPD, BPfA, SDG and other human rights mechanisms. Backtracking of some countries on previously agreed languages on SRHR is a reflection of the rising fundamentalisms and right-wing principles all across the world. This is getting more concerning with the USA voicing against even the word gender and certain countries joining in to support such regressive argument. Ironically, the country where ICPD was adopted in 1994 is taking a very regressive stance 25 years later. The Holy See's activities are observed to be very influential both inside and outside the closed doors. As a result, some countries who remained quiet during negotiations in the past despite their non-progressive stance are now becoming vocal of their regressive stances.
This year the priority theme for CSW is social protection systems, access to public services and sustainable infrastructure for gender equality and empowerment of women and girls. The social protection programmes, public services and infrastructure should take into consideration gender perspectives and SRHR issues of specially women, girls and LBTIQ people. The states are obliged to address inequities in access to SRH services and supplies. However, in the current document that is being negotiated for #CSW63, the language on state's responsibilities to ensure universal health coverage is still weak. The negotiations thus far have not highlighted the implications of unregulated private health services and the need to regulate private health sectors to provide acceptable, affordable, accessible, quality health services. The document does not reflect that the right to health and public health services remains a state responsibility.
Despite these challenges, I remain hopeful that within the next few hours or days of negotiations, inspired by the massive advocacy work of the SRHR and human rights advocates, the member states behind the closed doors will finally recognise that full realization of sexual and reproductive rights is the key to achieving gender equality and empowerment. If all the women and girls are able to exercise their SRHR and have the autonomy to make decisions regarding her body and sexuality, their potentials are realised and utilised. This will prevent women and girls from unwanted pregnancies, poor health outcomes over the lifecycle and improve their overall wellbeing. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUcYLxK1ThhBMLfgYR | New figures published today show that livestock worth £2.5m were stolen in 2018 amid an increase in organised large scale animal thefts across the UK.
A spate of highly organised, large-scale sheep thefts in recent months suggests the cost of rustling is continuing at high levels.
This crime makes livestock theft the most costly crime for the UK's farming sector after agricultural vehicles and farm machinery.
This sharp increase in livestock rustling - an 11% rise in cost over two years - has prompted rural insurer NFU Mutual to put farmers and rural communities on alert for criminals.
It is also concerned by recent reports of animals being butchered in fields, which further undermines food safety.
"As the insurer of over three quarters of UK farmers, we are alarmed that thieves are stealing greater numbers of livestock," said Tim Price, NFU Mutual Rural Affairs Specialist.
Livestock theft is particularly devastating for small farms, as the loss of a number of stock can wipe out profits and disrupt the operation of the farm for years as they rebuild 'hefted' flocks.
NFU Mutual advises farmers and butchers buying stock to check livestock records and ear tags carefully to make sure they are not buying stolen animals.
It also advises members of the public to be wary of buying meat from unusual sources because there may be health hazards as well as a risk they could be buying meat from rustled livestock.
Preventing rustling is not as easy as putting a padlock on a building, or fitting a security system to a tractor. However, there are a number of steps farmers can take to reduce the risk and technology is now providing effective ways of tracing stolen livestock. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Condensing Oil-Fired Boilers
Customers who invest in condensing oil-fired appliances pay an initial premium for the equipment, but can reap savings year after year through reduced consumption of fuel oil. That is a selling point that fuel oil dealers can play up in the marketing of such equipment, manufacturers said.
Beyond that, fuel oil dealers should be aware of the different factors associated with installing condensing furnaces and condensing boilers, advised Bill Spencer, formerly of Kerr Energy Systems, now of Devonport Engineering, Fall River, Nova Scotia.
Installing a condensing oil-fired furnace is 'no more difficult than installing a conventional furnace," said Spencer, who gave a presentation on condensing oil-fired furnaces at this year's Canadian Oil Heat Association annual conference. 'You do have to provide things like a condensate pump that oil guys aren't normally used to, but that's just basic plumbing."
Spencer contrasted condensing oil-fired furnaces favorably to traditional oil-fired furnaces. 'Especially when you get up into the Energy Star range – the high efficiency ones – there's a great danger that [a conventional furnace] can condense in the vent, in the chimney somewhere, which is a bad thing," Spencer said, because the sulfuric acid that naturally occurs in the condensate could cause damage.
When installers replace an old furnace with a conventional one that has an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating of 85 percent, for example, 'They have to be very conscious of what the old vent is like and probably put in a liner," among other steps, Spencer said, 'and even then you can still have a condensation problem in the vent.
'With condensing appliances," Spencer pointed out, 'you know it's happening in the appliance. It's designed for that and the vent is designed to withstand it too and it's fairly easy because the temperatures are very low so you can use plastic." The return temperature of warm air in the duct work is usually 65- 70 degrees Fahrenheit, Spencer said, 'So there's no problem condensing there."
Wringing the same level of efficiency from condensing oil-fired boilers can be a bit more complicated, Spencer said, noting that condensation will not occur unless the water temperature can be reduced to approximately 112 degrees Fahrenheit. Spencer said that reducing the temperature 'is difficult in systems where the return water temperature is high.
'It's great technology, except that the performance of it is really a function of the heat distribution system that you're putting it in," he said. 'The end user might spend several thousand dollars for a condensing boiler and never reap the benefits of that in a poorly designed system," Spencer cautioned.
For example, in Nova Scotia, where Spencer lives, most of the older homes have radiant baseboard heating, designed for 180 degrees Fahrenheit in and 160 degrees Fahrenheit out. 'Returning at 160 degrees you can't condense," Spencer noted. The technology 'works great for in-floor heating where typically supply temperatures are somewhere around 100 degrees and coming back below that," he observed.
Kenneth Webster of Viessmann Manufacturing Co. Inc., Waterloo, Ontario, agreed. 'Choosing the right temperature application is very important," he said. 'You need low-temperature heating systems to begin with. There wouldn't really be any financial benefit to consumers to spend the money if they're heating high-temperature baseboards instead of radiant floor heating or lower-temperature wall panels."
Viessmann Manufacturing has been manufacturing condensing oil-fired boilers in Europe for years, Webster said, and is weighing a decision whether to begin marketing such an appliance in North America next year.
PB Heating, Valley, Pa., makes and markets a condensing oil-fired boiler called the Peerless Pinnacle.
With an AFUE rating of 92 percent, the boiler qualifies for a federal tax credit of 30 percent, up to $1,500, for purchase and installation, Mike Kaufmann, business manager for PB Heating, said. (The tax credit is due to expire at the end of this year.)
Added appeal for customers is that the residential boiler offers savings on fuel oil consumption year after year and operates very quietly or, as Kaufmann said, 'People don't believe it when they don't hear it."
Fuel oil dealers and their technicians find that installation is straightforward, Kaufmann said. The boiler is equipped with the Beckett AFG burner, familiar to fuel oil dealers and their technicians, he added. 'They don't have to stock the van with anything special or out of the ordinary," he said.
Two firing rates are available ' .5 GPH and .6 GPH ' with input ranges from 70,000 BTU/Hr. to 84,000 BTU/Hr. respectively. Both ratings qualify for the Energy Star rating. The unit is shipped with a nozzle installed for the higher input, Kaufmann said. The nozzle for the lower input is included separately so that it can be substituted by the installer if needed, based on the size of the house.
The boiler can be vented through a sidewall or vertically, up a chimney, without the need for an additional blower unit for exhaust, Kaufmann noted. Concentric piping is necessary for correct venting. The outer pipe, which is metal, is used for intake of fresh air, and the inner pipe, which is polypropylene, is for exhaust.
In the sealed combustion, fully condensing unit, the heat exchanger is made of 904L stainless steel, a grade that combines molybdenum and copper with iron. That grade of steel is used because it is designed for resistance to acids, including the sulfuric acid in the condensate.
The unit features a slim design and occupies a small footprint, but requires at least a six-foot high ceiling in the basement. 'That's very important," Kaufmann said of the clearance, because access to the burner and internal components is at the top of the boiler, which stands approximately four-and-a-half feet high.
Control features include multiple temperature set points for heating and domestic hot water, and outdoor reset capability. Test and diagnostic functions are displayed on an LCD screen.
The challenge of condensing with oil-fired appliances generally 'is really a materials problem because of the sulfur in the oil," said Spencer of Devonport Engineering. While manufacturers know that the steel in the heat exchanger must be a high-quality grade to resist corrosion, they continue to seek less expensive yet equally durable alternative materials.
European manufacturers use EN 1.4539 grade steel, Spencer noted, but he said, 'If you price that in North America [the cost is] incredible." Spencer said two pounds of it currently costs about $700. 'It's very, very expensive."
U.S. manufacturers often use AL29-4C grade steel to cope with the sulfuric acid, though that too is expensive, Spencer noted.
Adams Manufacturing Co., Cleveland, Ohio, which makes four configurations of condensing oil-fired furnaces, uses AL29-4C grade steel, Jeff Dubasak, sales manager, said. The four configurations of furnaces that Adams makes are upflow, downflow, horizontal and lowboy. 'Each has a different input rate and fan size," Dubasak said. In general terms, Dubasak said, a condensing oil-fired furnace costs about twice as much as a conventional oil-fired furnace, but typically provides the customer savings in fuel consumption over a 20-year period because it is more fuel efficient.
There are plastic heat exchangers, but Spencer said incoming temperatures were 'too high" for thermoplastics. Looking ahead to possible innovations, Spencer said that coating technologies held out some promise.
'There are all kinds of coating technologies out there," he said. 'I think in the future when those technologies advance, someone's going to come out with a carbon steel heat exchanger that has some kind of coating on it," Spencer predicted, 'and that's going to reduce the cost significantly." | commoncrawl | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUadrxK7Ehm79faYYx | Why Google Paid Apple $1 Billion and Oracle is Not happy About It
By Robert Stitt
It's a battle that has raged on for over half a decade. Oracle, a business software giant, is the creator of Java. According to Oracle, the software is copyrighted and, if used without its consent in the development of other systems, is subject to copyright infringement laws. Google says that there are many variants of Java and the one they used falls under a software category known as Application Programming Interface (API) which is open for anyone to use and not subject to copyright laws.
In 2008, Google used the Java software during its creation of the Android operating system. According to Oracle, Android has made over $31 billion, netting Google over $22 billion. Oracle wants a piece of that pie.
The first time the courts made a ruling, it went in Google's favor. Oracle appealed. The Appeals Court ruled in favor of Oracle. The case is now going back to court for yet another round of debate.
According to Bloomberg Business, during the court proceedings, it came out that Google "paid Apple $1 billion dollars to keep the Google search bar on the iPhone." While many people feel this is not a big deal because Google is the best search engine out there, others believe it is shady business. This is Oracle's point.
If you go back a few iOS generations, you will find that Apple and Google were quite friendly with many Google apps even coming standard on the iPhone. When Google went full-on with Android, however, Steve Jobs allegedly became irate and vowed to wipe Google off of all the iPhones. That's when the billion dollars came into play. Jobs was mad, but not a billion dollars mad. He still scrubbed most of Google's presence off of the phones, but Google is still the default search engine on all Apple devices. Apparently, Google also has to pay a percentage of all advertising revenue it receives from the phones.
Google says that while the Android system is used in phones and tablets, the vast majority of its revenue is made through ad revenue and cuts of Google play apps. To keep it all in perspective, according to the Appleinsider, "Apple's iPhone revenues from the September quarter alone (about $32.2 billion) surpassed what Android has made over its entire lifespan." | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUdUM5qsBC2t5somZJ | Green in all the words, the videos, and the shows. Green in their pockets and green in their songs. They have made it to the top and are literally singing about how great it is to be rich.
Think I'll buy me a football team..."
Money! A thing most people aspire for. But in these bleak times of economic recession, money has become a need rather than a desire.
Keep your hands off my stack..."
If there is any song which has captured this devious little frenemy, it's this one titled 'Money'. This song features the album 'Dark Side of the Moon', released in 1973. The song begins with the clinking sound of cash registers and prompts you to think of the only thing that comes to your mind: money! The song is one of Pink Floyd's greatest hits and is etched in music history for its catchy and unusual bass line.
Money for nothing and your chicks for free"
In the rich man's world..."
One of the best things about the Swedish group ABBA is that their songs and lyrics will remain contemporary in every era. Take this song for instance, 'Money, Money, Money' was released with the album 'Arrival' in 1976. It is a very simple song where a girl expresses her desire to marry a very rich man so that she will never have to face financial problems and will get to live the good life forever. With lyrics like these, how could the songs of ABBA ever be outdated?
(if you take a walk) - I'll tax your feet."
This is one of the most famous hip hop songs about money. This song was performed by Jermaine Dupri and released in his album 'Life in 1472' in 1998. The song features Jay-Z on the vocals as well and talks about the life of someone who's really rich and to whom money is worthless.
And I am a material girl..."
If only Madonna knew that she'd be called a 'Material Girl' for the rest of her life. She'd have probably never recorded it, and the fans would have lost one of the best songs ever made by the Queen of Pop! 'Material Girl' is from the album 'Like a Virgin', released in 1985. This song talks about the girls who believe that Mr. Right is the one with lots of cash in his pockets.
What would this article be if it didn't end with a song that talks about how the singer doesn't care about money and doesn't think it's the most important thing in the world? 'Can't Buy Me Love' was released as a single by the Beatles in 1964. It says that money is all right, but it won't buy you love. But later Paul McCartney, in an apparently covert reference to prostitution, said that with all the money and fame he had, he could indeed buy love! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbezxK4sA-5Y3q3ze | After a long summer break, getting back to school can be a stomach-churning feat – not only for the kids, but for parents too.
Switching modes from sleeping in to packing bags and lunch boxes at 6 AM can be stressful all by itself. So, being "back to school"-ready can help relieve some of the tension. But what does it take?
Here are some basic tips to ensure the transition from break-time to school time is smooth.
Get stationery woes out of the way.
No matter how much you buy, it will always seem like you are out of them.
A good way to keep track is to organise them smartly.
IKEA has a wide range of smart and affordable ways to organise supplies, from small baskets to trolleys to drawer organisers.
Invest in a good day planner. This will help you keep all the activities in one place, so you can stay on top of things.
Clothes are another stress area, especially with teenagers.
It may be a good idea to have them ready ahead of time for each day of the school week.
Getting socks neatly rolled up and organised soon after laundry can help avoid frantic morning searches.
And don't wait till the last minute to do the shoe shopping. Do it at least a few weeks before school to avoid all the crazy lines at the malls.
Backpacks are another purchase you must go through nearly every year.
You may need to replace an old one, or it may be a new fad your child has to have.
Either way, our fun and trendy range of products have got you covered.
Also, consider using old backpacks as behind-the-door storage or keep it in your car as a shopping bag to avoid using plastic.
Another simple drill you can try is setting the alarm early.
Do this at least a week in advance to get your body back to the school mode.
This can help set your body clock, so waking up early doesn't become a challenge.
Kids too can try this to ease into the school mode quickly.
Slowly limit kids' gadget time prior to school. This will also get them ready for school faster.
Start the new school year right. It doesn't have to be overwhelming. Just a little planning and shopping ahead of time is all it takes to acclimatise yourself for those first days of school! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

<xs:element name="lastName" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
This would require that the memberName element contains exactly one of companyName, firstName, middleName or lastName.
But I'm sure most people have both a first name and a last name, so how about
<xs:choice maxOccurs="4">
which would allow several of the child elements, but also several of the same kind.

BkiUc1o4ubngzDmaKqma | Last year's planner is on the left, this year's is on the right. I love that they are customizable!
Last year I started using a planner to help me organize both my home life and my #WritersLife, and the results are better than I ever hoped. Not only does the planner keep me on track, I look forward to writing in it each week, and every time I bring it out I'm more productive than I would have been otherwise! And it's super cute too!!
The planner I fell in love with is an Erin Condren one, but there are a bunch of different options now. This one just seemed to fit everything I needed and wanted in a planner. There's a monthly view, weekly view, lined pages, blank pages, and even a pocket at the back.
Weekly layout spread. Love those boxes to keep life organized!
I especially love that it has the different boxes for each day. Some could use it as a morning, afternoon, evening break up. However, I use mine as exercise/health, writing, and family. It totally works for me and helps me keep up with all of the demands on my schedule.
Each week, usually on Sunday, I write my goals for the week down the lefthand side. If I'm in the mood to meal prep that week, those go along the bottom. And every day I fill in what I've completed. I love checking things off the list!
To make things even cuter, I bought myself stickers! I know, I'm old, but who doesn't love stickers?!?! Plus they make my planner look even cuter. These stickers I bought on Etsy at Karolinaskrafts and PaperCut Design Co.
Erin Condren planner, carry case, and Frixion pens.
And let's not forget these awesome pens. They're not just any pens. Oh no. These are ERASABLE!!!! Yep, you read that right. I don't know how and I don't care why, but I love that I can make a mistake with these colorful pens and clean it up without making a mess of my beautiful planner. I couldn't do it without them!
So tell me, do you use a planner? What kind? Any useful tips or tricks or goodies that you like to use with yours? | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdsDxK1ThhCdy8y0R | 'New' wasp species found during expedition to Amsterdam park
DutchNews, January 28, 2020
Photo: Jiangli Tan (Northwest University, Xi'an)
The Vondelpark in Amsterdam is home to a hitherto undiscovered species of wasp, which has now been named after it, the Parool reported this week.
The Aphaereta vondelparkensis, a type of parasitoid wasp, was discovered last year at the park's Koeienweide, a small area of grassland, by a team of scientists and local researchers. It was caught in a trap consisting of a jar of rotting chicken which had been buried in the ground.
The five-day project was set up by Taxon Expeditions, which organises research trips to all corners of the world. The company's founder Menno Schilthuizen chose the location to explore how biodiverse a spot in the middle of a busy city can be, the paper said.
Apart from the unexpected presence of the wasp, the team's findings were 'spectacular' in other ways as well, city ecologist Remco Daalder told the paper. 'In just five days we found over a hundred moths, 85 species of beetle, 21 species of spider and 15 species of snail. It goes to show that the biodiversity in only a few hectares in a city can be huge.'
Daalder said Schilthuizen had broadened the idea of biodiversity.'When we say biodiversity we usually think of rabbits or blackbirds. But Schilthuizen looks at the soil and it contains a wealth of species. We are talking to him about exploring other parks to see what creatures we can find there.'

BkiUbP84eIZijQpFYYpS | NIA renegotiating geothermal arrangement to secure cheaper energy rates for Nevisians
Hon. Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis and Minister of Energy in the Nevis Island Administration at his monthly press conference in Cabinet Room at Pinney's Estate on November 26, 2020
NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (November 27, 2020) – The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) is in the process of renegotiation its existing geothermal arrangement with NREI (Nevis Renewable Energy International) that would see consumers on Nevis paying less for the renewable energy when it comes on stream.
Hon. Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis and Minister of Energy in the NIA, made the disclosure when he gave an update on the geothermal project, during his monthly press conference on November 26, 2020.
He explained that it was previously negotiated that the NIA would get 12.5 percent equity in the project in addition to a 10 percent royalty. The latest revision of the arrangement, he said, calls for a greater percentage of the savings being passed on to the consumers.
"We've had now to go back to look at that because the designation of royalty was not sitting so well with agencies that would provide funding, but funding on the basis that every penny of savings had to be passed on to the consumer.
"So we have had to go back to the drawing board to look and see how we do not dilute the interest of the people of Nevis…but at the same time, we pass on the maximum savings to them.
"I can tell you that based on the negotiations thus far, an initial price per kilowatt hour of US $0.19 has been renegotiated down to US $0.15 and we're still working to see if we can bring that down even further," he revealed.
Premier Brantley said based on information he has received, the NIA is going through the final iterations of the revised documentation for geothermal.
"I think that we are making good progress. The piece of that puzzle that was always the bugbear was the financing. The Caribbean Development Bank[CDB] has been very, very helpful to us. They've been involved with us now and we have a new company involved called Albioma, and of course the holder of the concession for Nevis is a company called NREI…
"They have been working along with a local group headed by our Legal Adviser Hélène Lewis, also Dr. Ernie Stapleton, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of [Public] Works, and Minister Spencer Brand who is the local minister.
"So there's been an ongoing discussion that has also included NEVLEC [Nevis Electricity Company Limited], which will be the off taker of the power, and so we are hopeful that after all this delay and all this time we will have some good news to report in short order," he said.
Mr. Brantley expressed confidence that Nevis will successfully harness geothermal energy in light of the fact that the project is at an advanced stage, and experts have reported that Nevis possesses commercial grade viable geothermal resource.

Now, we have prepared many things, snacks and medicines included. Firstly, we will go to Changsha by plane. The tickets are cheap, so it's a good choice to save time. We will stay there for two days. The main goal staying there is to enjoy the delicious food in Changsha. My friend has prepared a map of must-tries and I believe they must be good. Then we will go to Zhangjiajie by train. It's not so far from Changsha, taking about five hours to get there. Zhangjiajie is famous for its wonderful mountains. The sceneries there are amazing that no one should miss. But we will have a tough journey for climbing high mountains, which is not easy for us all. This is why we will stay there for longer. In the end, we will go home by train. This is my plan for the journey. I am sure it will be a wonderful and fruitful journey. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdTjxK7IDOjusELEW | Another Dolphin Dies in the Arizona Aquarium
by AquaScaping Pros | Feb 10, 2019 | News | 0 comments
The recent death of a dolphin at the Arizona Aquarium setup is an event that the management hasn't been able to explain yet. The report of the death came on Thursday evening and activists aren't happy with the death of the animal.
A report by Catherine Holland from the AZ Family shows the dolphin, which goes by the name Kai, died after a short illness.
Another dolphin dies at Dolphinaris Arizona, 4th death in less than 2 years
"Immediately after Kai started showing signs of health decline two weeks ago our team made every effort to save his life, including bloodwork testing, ultrasounds, x-rays, and engaging external specialists and submitting diagnostic samples to outside university veterinary laboratories," Christian Schaeffer, the general manager at Dolphinaris Arizona, said in a statement sent to media outlets. "Kai initially seemed to be responding, but his health suddenly declined last night around 11:30 p.m.
The manager of the aquariums said that they tried to save Kai's life, but unfortunately their efforts did not bear any fruits.
According to a report written for NY Pots by Alexandra Klausner, Kai is the fourth dolphin to lose its life at the Arizona Aquarium.
Fourth dolphin dies at Dolphinaris Arizona after struggling to breathe
A bottlenose dolphin died at an Arizona marine park on Thursday, making him the fourth dolphin to die there in less than two years.
Employees at Dolphinaris Arizona in Scottsdale euthanized 22-year-old Kai on Thursday morning after the dolphin exhibited signs of illness for about two weeks, ABC 15 reported. Kai had been having trouble breathing, swimming and eating, Dolphinaris said. The park has yet to announce Kai's cause of death.
The report further shows that this is the fourth death that has been quite difficult to explain, especially because they all happened in less than two years.
Kashmira Gander from News Week tried finding out the exact cause of the death of the dolphins from the management to enlighten the public on the same.

Christian Schaeffer, the general manager of the Dolphinaris , acknowledged in a statement seen by ABC15 that the death of four dolphins in the last year and a half is "abnormal." He described the latest loss as "devastating."
"We will be taking proactive measures to increase our collaborative efforts to further ensure our dolphins' well-being and high quality of life," he said. Independent experts have been tasked with investigating the deaths, according to Schaeffer.
The manager of the aquarium described the deaths of the dolphins as abnormal, devastating, and difficult to explain.
Activists now want the aquarium shut down, because the management hasn't given an explanation as to why four dolphins have lost their lives in such a short time.

Another Michael Doret interview
In my previous post, I wrote about the new KISS album that will be released in the U.S. on October 6.
According to KISS Online, their upcoming album (titled "Sonic Boom) will be released in the U.S. on October 6…and available exclusively at Wal-Mart.
What does that mean? Regular record stores in the U.S. aren't going to sell it? It'll only be sold at one chain of stores?
I've never heard of something like that before. Has that become common in America? Why?
In Japan, record stores are still common. I'm sure the new KISS album will be available in every record (CD) store across Japan once it's released here.
Speaking of which, I wonder when the album will be released in Japan? And when KISS will bring the Sonic Boom Tour to Japan.
Anyways, the album cover artwork for "Sonic Boom" was designed by Michael Doret.

Michael Doret designed the iconic cover for the KISS album "Rock And Roll Over" back in 1976 and he was asked by Paul Stanley to design their new album cover, too.

Well, according to the "Heavy Metal Addiction" website, the rumors are true.

It will contain two CDs and a DVD of a live show. One of the CDs will be the songs from the Japan-only release 「地獄列伝」 ("Hell's Biography").

At approximately 1:15 p.m. on December 7, 1990, Employee #1, a laborer, was the ground man on a scaffold removal team. He was loading the removed scaffolding onto a truck when he was struck on the head by a scaffold rail that was accidentally dropped from 4 to 5 stories above. The impact split the plastic bill of his hard hat, and the rail struck his left eye socket. Coworkers called 911 and administered first aid. Pressure gauze was used to reduce the profuse bleeding, but Employee #1's pulse was faint when the paramedics arrived 6 to 8 minutes after they were called. Employee #1 was transported to a local hospital, although he most likely died at the work site.

Next-Gen Lidar Promises to Cut Costs by 70%
Qualcomm Technologies—the tech company whose chip might be in your cellphone—and Great Wall Motor Company Ltd. (GWM)—which claims to be "China's largest SUV and pickup manufacturer" (it also makes cars)—have announced that they are working to develop autonomous vehicle capability using the Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride Platform, which will power the GWM "Coffee Intelligence" system.
What Are These Things?
The Snapdragon Ride Platform is based on modular, heterogeneous high-performance multi-core CPUs, energy-efficient AI and computer vision engines, and a GPU.
The Software Revolution Is Here It's a great time to be a software engineer in the auto industry.

The "Coffee Intelligence" system handles multiple sensors so as to provide L2+ and L3 capabilities. When it is paired with two standard high-computing power platforms, it can provide compute power of 700+ TOPS and have the capabilities required for L4 and L5 driving.
What Is the Purpose of this Pursuit?
Kai Zhang, head of Intelligent Driving at GWM, said that the deployment of the Qualcomm Ride Platform means, "GWM will be able to offer comprehensive multi-segment capabilities in our future vehicles, from driver assistance systems to high-level autonomous driving."
And here's the kicker: Kai Zhang went on to say, "This advanced autonomous driving technology will enable the transformation of GWM from an automaker to the 'global mobility technology company.'"
Seems like being an automaker is so 2020.

BkiUfvHxK7Tt52mM_lPF | Ali Akbar along with Abhishek Bachchan celebrated and congratulated each other for the successful journey of their fathers together
October 10: Film and music producer Ali Akbar sultan met Abhishek Bachchan to celebrate Big B's birthday at a four-day event named 'Bachchan Back To The Beginning' at PVR Juhu. The festival is organized to celebrate the biggest icon of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan's 80th birthday, by the Film Heritage Foundation and PVR.
The event took place on 172 stages and 30 screens across 22 theatres around India and will put together a selection of 11 movies. Ali Akbar was feeling grateful, reminiscing about his father, Sultan Ahmed's work together with Amitabh Bachchan. Remembering the era of these evergreen movies, he quoted, "I always feel inspired when I watch movies done by Amit's uncle. The unique display of emotions and sentiments along with the perfect script and direction is always motivational."
Both Ali Akbar and Abhishek Bachchan, the two generations, reinvigorated and took forward the bond at the event, where they both congratulated each other for the amazing Bollywood movies their fathers made together. Sharing the moment and famous dialogue – "Chacha, tum theek kehte the.. Zulm karne wala bhi papi, Zulm sehne wala bhi papi.. Maine Zulm sehna chodh dia chacha.." from superhit blockbuster movie 'Ganga ki saugand' with casts Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Amjad khan and Pran they felt nostalgic and more connected.
The FHF, through this one-of-a-kind festival in association with PVR, is showcasing a grand opportunity for the fans to discover more about the living legend. Along with the series of movies, fans also see some of the rare footage of behind-the-scenes and pictures from the star's life and career. The list of movies screening from 8th to 11th October will be – Don, Kabhi Kabhie, Chupke Chupke, Kaala Patthar, Satte Pe Satta, Abhiman, Amar Akbar Anthon, Deewar, Kaalia, and Namak Halaal.
Seeing such an initiative, Ali Akbar added, "It has become truly a great event for all the fans of Bachchan! Also, the exhibition by Ausaja is priceless. The highlight is Shahenshah's original jacket! #AB80 was good to see our film #GKS #gangakisaugand. I am feeling very happy to be able to attend this 4-day retrospective event. It is truly a perfect gift for Amit's uncle and for the entire Bollywood fans to be able to witness such amazing films over the big screen again."
The festival takes place in different corners of the nation, including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, Baroda, Raipur, Kanpur, Kolhapur, Indore, and Prayagraj. All the movies are the best movies of the 1970s and 1980s that are still popular among the generation. Even after Big B's 53 golden years in the Bollywood industry, he still is the busiest celebrity. Ali Akbar Ahmed also added, "I, along with my brother Ali Abbas Ahmed and the entire team of Sultan productions, wish Amit uncle A very happy birthday" and also congratulated him for his recently launched movie 'Goodbye' released on 7th October.

BkiUfnzxK6wB9mpb4ZcI | Although the more cynical among us might opine it's too little, too late, we like the fact that Gov. Rick Snyder is working right up until his state employment expires at the end of December. And after all is said and done, an initiative he rolled out late last week on broadband access might very well end up being among his administration's longest lasting and most important plans.
Choosing an educational setting — the Escanaba High School — Snyder unveiled the Michigan Broadband Road Map, a move that aims to provide universal access to broadband, high speed internet to all of the state of Michigan.
Many of the places that are not serviced by broadband internet are in the Upper Peninsula, typically rural venues that aren't currently serviced by a broadband provider. Overall, Michigan ranks 30th in the nation for broadband availability. More than 350,000 households lack access to high-speed internet service. Another two million households only have access to a single, terrestrial internet service provider.
Snyder's office says there is approximately $2.5 billion in potential economic opportunities available for these regions if that gap is reduced.
There are lots of unanswered questions, of course, a construction timeline and specific funding sources, for example.
But that said, it's an important step in what we believe is the right direction. It'll be interesting to see if the next governor takes the broadband ball and runs with it. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

5:00 pm on Thursday, October 25, 2018
David Shawn
This talk, the first in the "Writing in the Field" Lecture Series hosted by the CAS Writing Program, explores the composing and revision processes of historical writing. What makes for effective and compelling historical writing? What are the methods, for example, of introducing central actors in a historical episode? How does a writer of history not only tell a story, but also build an argument about an abstract concept, like capitalism? Using the examples of professional readers' and reviewers' written and oral comments on manuscript drafts, the talk foregrounds how historians make choices, consider revising options, and engage the challenges of composing history. 6:00 Opening Reception with Talk and Q&A to follow | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbUK6NNjgBvv4NCGb | China refuses to recognise UN court's ruling on South China Sea
M G Martin
The two leaders meet in Beijing yesterday during President Duterte's fourth visit to China yesterday. Malacañang photograph
China still refuses to recognise the ruling of the United Nations-backed court that dismissed its sweeping claims to the South China Sea.
Philippine Ambassador Jose Santiago Santa Romana confirmed this after the territorial dispute was raised during a meeting between President Duterte and China's Xi Jinping yesterday (Thursday, April 25).
The two leaders met during the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing.
"The president raised this and the Chinese maintained their position so there are differences," he said at a business forum in the Chinese capital when asked about the 2016 Hague ruling.
"It is a card for us in terms of it clarifies our maritime entitlements. Unfortunately the Chinese are not willing to recognise this so it is a challenge, it will take more time," he added.
However, he remained optimistic that tension would ease in the disputed region after the two leaders agreed to continue bilateral negotiations to settle the territorial conflict.
He also said that President Duterte raised the country's concerns, including the recent alleged "swarming" of Pag-asa Island during the meeting with Xi.
In turn, China reportedly indicated that it was prepared to address concerns raised by the Philippines.
Investments made, but no concessions
Meanwhile, at least 19 trade and investment deals worth $12.165 billion were secured during President Duterte's fourth visit to China.
The business deals cover energy, infrastructure, telecommunications, food, sale of agricultural products, tourism and economic zone and industrial park development. They are expected to generate 21,165 jobs for the country, according to Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon Lopez.
"The Duterte administration is pushing for investments on energy and manufacturing for the Philippines to broaden its manufacturing base and increase its exports. Among the agreements are energy projects that will help the country decrease its dependence on oil and gas imports," he said.
"There will also be several industrial parks to bring jobs to Filipinos in the countryside.
"The country is growing over six per cent sustained for the past 15 quarters consecutively. It's really a good indication of a fast growing economy.
"They [Chinese investors] know the demographic sweet spot that we have right now, over 107 million Filipinos. It keeps on growing. There's a growing middle class."

BkiUf7c25V5jgpkz29vH | Music festivals: age distribution of visitors in the United Kingdom (UK) 2016
Marie Charlotte Götting,
This statistic displays the age distribution of festival-goers in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2016. In that year, just over 50 percent of festival visitors were aged 30 years and under, with the greatest share being aged between 21 and 25 years. A breakdown of UK festival attendants by gender for the same year shows that 40 percent were male and 60 percent female. The United Kingdom hosts a large number of music festivals every year, the most famous one being Glastonbury Festival held annually in Somerset, England on the last weekend of June. In 2015, 3.7 million people attended a music festival in the UK. When asked what they loved most about the festivals they attended over the past summer, the largest share of respondents cited the music, followed by hanging out with friends and meeting new people.

BkiUfZg5qhLBqQGjRFdv | Q: Android development: How to indicate the first run after new push from Android Studio I have an app with a rather big file size which means that I have to wait for 10-20 seconds between pressing Ctrl+F5 and having the new app instance running on a connected device.
This timespan is long enough for me to deal with other things, e.g. staging my changes and then looking back at the device wondering whether the new version is already running or if I'm looking at the old state. Usually I then start clicking to test the new implementation and then the app closes and reopens since the upload took longer than expected.
How can I visually be notified of the first run after an upload to the device?
The following things won't work:
*
*Save the version in the preferences and compare at startup time. I don't change the version string for every small change.
A: You could increment the version number with each build, and display it in your app. Here is an example on how you can to that.
A: I found a solution and posted it on my blog, here it is:
*
*Open Android Studio → Run → Edit Configurations
*Select your application, scroll to the bottom to the "Before launch" section. Click Plus -> Run External Tool -> Click Plus.Set the values:
Name: Force-stop app
program: adb.exe
parameters: shell am force-stop
*Make sure that the external tool runs before the Gradle-aware Make in the "Before Launch" section

Baby Keem has shared a video for his latest single, "No Sense."
In the visual, directed by Savannah Setten, the rapper tries to escape a dream-like world. On the way, he encounters a group of women playing dominoes before entering a carpark where all the vehicles look the same.
"Please don't let me catch him on my ends, dawg / It's a thousand ways to misunderstand, dawg / It's a thousand ways that we can make amends, dawg / And you know he only love you when your pants off," Keem rhymes.
"No Sense" is expected to land on Keem's upcoming album, reportedly titled The Melodic Blue, according to Revolt. The record will mark his first full-length since 2019's Die for My Bitch. Last year, he released the tracks "Hooligans" and "Sons & Critics Freestyle."

Margaret McCann
Days of Week: Monday, Thursday
www.margaretmccann.com
Students learn how to apply the fundamentals of color theory to painting from perception (still life or the model), imagination, or abstraction. Lectures demonstrate various styles and methods that master painters and movements have utilized in composition. Group and individual critiques help students articulate their creative strengths. Beginner to advanced welcome.
Margaret McCann's surreal paintings of giants, of Atlantic City, and "headworks" range stylistically from realism to quasi-abstraction, with spatial and compositional complexity. Her favorite painters include Brueghel and di Chirico. She has had solo exhibitions at Jannone Disegni di Architettura in Milan, The Painting Center in New York, and Artemesia in Chicago, and she shows with the Zeuxis still life group. Reviews of her work have been included in La Repubblica, Corriere della Sera, the LA Times, and Huffington Post.
McCann studied at Yale University, Washington University in St. Louis, and the New York Studio School, and her awards include a Fulbright, Ingram-Merrill, Blanche E. Colman, and NH State grants; and artist residencies at Ragdale, Millay, AAIRome, and Cité des Arts in Paris. McCann lived in Rome for eight years, where she taught at American abroad college programs. McCann has also taught at Boston University, University of New Hampshire, Syracuse University, University of Virginia, Pratt, Montclair University, Semester at Sea, and the New York Academy of Art.
McCann edited the Skira/Rizzoli book The Figure – Contemporary Perspective for NYAA, featuring images and essays by emerging and established artists—Vincent Desiderio, Eric Fischl, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Hilary Harkness, Alex Kanevsky, Donald Kuspit, Rona Pondick, Irving Sandler, Jenny Saville, Nicola Verlato, Jerome Witkin, and many more. Essays address the Western tradition's changing techniques from Antiquity through cyberspace—perspective, camera obscura, photography, Photoshop, 3D-modeling, etc.—and cultural concerns such as Freud, fascism, and feminism. McCann writes art reviews for painters-table.com and wrote for Art New England and The Portsmouth Herald.

BkiUdB3xK7ICUuXek0xk | (→Higher actinides not included in burnup calculation)
=== Higher actinides not included in burnup calculation ===
Serpent forms the transmutation paths for burnup calculation automatically, starting from the initial composition defined in the material input. To avoid including everything available, the procedure applies a cut-off that after certain chain length discards all neutron reactions. The result is that some higher actinides, in particular berkelium and californium isotopes, are not produced through all possible chains, and some isotopes may not be included in the calculation at all.
Discarding these higher actinides should have a negligible effect on the results of the calculation, but in some cases their concentrations are of particular interest. The transmutation chains can be extended further by adding nuclides at zero concentration in the material compositions. By including isotopes <sup>240</sup>Cm to <sup>250</sup>Cm, <sup>247</sup>Bk to <sup>250</sup>Bk and <sup>249</sup>Cf to <sup>254</sup>Cf Should force Serpent to include the necessary data for the high end of the actinide transmutation chains.
1.6 Higher actinides not included in burnup calculation
The material and nuclide densities used in the calculation can be checked from the nuclide and material output file (<input>.out).
Criticality source simulation requires an initial guess for the fission source distribution. If no source definition is provided, Serpent samples source points uniformly throughout all fissile materials, i.e. materials with fissile isotopes. This creates two potential problems:
If the fissile material covers only a small volume of the total geometry, the sampling of the initial source may fail completely.
If the geometry contains both active and inactive fissile zones (e.g. seed and blanket), the calculation may fail after the first generation because the majority of source points are placed in the inactive zone.
The solution to both problems is to use explicit source definition that puts sufficient number of points in the active parts of the fuel. It should be noted that the use of an explicit source definition does not affect the results of the simulations, provided that the fission source is allowed to converge by skipping a sufficient number of inactive neutron generations.
Higher actinides not included in burnup calculation
Discarding these higher actinides should have a negligible effect on the results of the calculation, but in some cases their concentrations are of particular interest. The transmutation chains can be extended further by adding nuclides at zero concentration in the material compositions. By including isotopes 240Cm to 250Cm, 247Bk to 250Bk and 249Cf to 254Cf Should force Serpent to include the necessary data for the high end of the actinide transmutation chains. | commoncrawl | 4 | 5 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUdnk4eIXhzes6opXQ | Boeing 707 er Boeings første civile jetdrevne passagerfly. Den var baseret på den militære Boeing 717, bedre kendt som KC-135, tankflyet som bl.a. United States Air Force bruger i dag. Boeing havde i et stykke tid haft planer om at bygge et jetdrevet passagerfly og fremvist en prototype for luftfartsselskaberne, men USAF forhindrede produktionen af den civile 707 ved at placere så mange ordrer på KC-135, at Boeing ikke havde kapacitet til at gå videre med 707. Først i 1955 gav USAF Boeing klarering til at begynde produktionen af 707.
I den tid USAF havde forhindret produktionen af 707 havde Douglas haft tid til at sætte deres svar på 707, nemlig DC-8 i produktion. Boeing håbede på at redde de ordrer de havde tabt til Douglas ved at give flykroppen en diameter på størrelse med den militære udgave,da denne var større end på DC-8. Da den militære KC-135 jo allerede var i produktion kunne Boeing sælge 707 billigere end DC-8 fordi de ikke behøvede at fremstille nye fabrikker eller bygge flyet helt op fra grunden.
Efterfølgende gik det strygende med salget, og typen blev produceret i 3 versioner:
707-100 – den første version baseret på 717.
720 – egentlig 707-020, men fordi den havde samme længde som den oprindelige 717-020, blev den kaldt 720. Den lignede den oprindelige 707, men var aerodynamisk anderledes.
707-300 – også kaldet Jet Stratocruiser. Den forstørrede model blev kaldt Intercontinental på grund af dens fortræffelige egenskab til at flyve længere end tidligere modeller. Dette skyldtes, dels, at der blev monteret en ny motor, den civile udgave, JT3D af Pratt & Whitney TF33 en turbofanudvikling af J57, og dels en mængde aerodynamiske ændringer. bl.a. en ændret vinge. BOAC udbad sig nogle ændringer, bl.a. højere halefinne og Rolls-Royce motorer, og denne version var også populær.
Specifikationer for 707-100
Vingespænd: 39,88 m

BkiUd5A4eIOjRt7BLHfU | Do you want to learn how you can improve your profitability by at least 100% starting from next trade you take? In this article we will discuss the most important thing that you can do that will increase your profitability.
Below are the key things that if you focus on them will give the best result with the least effort.
Checking your state of mind is the most important things of all and most of the trader does not do it. That is the reason there is not a lot of successful trader around.
If you are angry or frustrated when you are placing trade when there a strong chance that you will not be able to give your 100% and you are competing with the world's best when you are trading. So if you are not in the right state of mind close the software and take a day off the market will be there next day for you.
You should have a set risk that you want to take on every trade. You should set a risk per trade in dollar amount at the start of the month and do not change it. So if at the start of the month you decide what you will risk $100 per trade then do not change it if you previous 2 trades need up in loss. You do never know when the next profitable trade will come so fix your risk and stick to it.
What I have seen happening in my trading is that at the start of month I set a limit but after some losing trade I reduce the risk on trade then that trade result in profit. Now because I have set a smaller trade then I should have the profit is also reduced. If at the place of doing that if I have stated with the same risk then I might have covered all the loss.
Do you have a stop loss and profit target?
When you see a trade do not jump and just try to trade it without a plan. The plan is your stop loss and your profit target. You should determine the lot size that you need to trade so that you do not cross the risk that you have set for this month on your trade if it goes wrong and you should know when you will get out when you start.
What is your risk reward ratio?
If you have followed the entire step above it will be easy for you to answer that question. If you do not know the answer then you should not be trading period. If you really want to make money in the long run in the market then you should focus on your risk reward ratio. Because if you have a ration less than 2:1 then it will be a lot harder for you successes in long run.
A good ratio to target is 3:1 or even better is 5:1 but never less than 2:1 if you really want to make money in the market.
This are some of the things that you need to do if you want to make money in the market in the long run. If you want to make big money in the market then you should focus all you energy on your risk reward ratio first and when you have if above 3:1 on every trade. Then you should focus on your success ratio.
Trading is simple as anything in life but it is not easy.
If you find yourself in a situation when you are not able to make profit for a long time. Then it is time for you to change something in your trading.
I am talking about things that you can do now to improve your profitability. The first thing that you need to do is reduce the number of trades that you take.
Second thing that you need to do increase your time frame if you are training now on 15 minute chart then start trading at 1 hour chart the best is to trade on 4 hour and daily chart. Also focus on the quality of trades because when you make fewer trades you can really pay attention what you are doing and how can you improve. It can be hard for you at first but you will learn to do it.
The best thing you can do is focus on daily charts. It will not be profitable at first and most of time you will not be able to make out trades but slowly you will be able to see trades and make them it will change your life.
Start keeping good records of you is trading one of the reasons most of the people are not able to learn anything because they do not know what it that they have done wrong so to find the main problems in your trading you need to keep good records.
When you keep good records you can pin point the mistakes that are costing you the most and make change accordingly.
What i have found in my trading is that when I trade on emotions I make wrong choices so to reduce that what i have done is reduce the number of trades that i can make during a session. Now I only make 1 trade per section so this reduces my emotional trading and made me profitable.
Thing that I learned with a close observation of my records it that when over analyses I make trading mistake so to solve it what I have done is to simply look for trade one time if nothing pops out then close the trading terminal and that is if for that trading section.
There is going to be profitable trade and losing trade it does not matter because trading principles will pay you in long run. You need to follow whatever trading principle that you have made no matter what is the imitate results are.
If you have too many indicators on your chart you will not be able to make good trading decisions so reduce the number of indicators on your chart.
You only need two things price action and volume anything more than that is just distracting you from making right choices.
When you start doing trading with a simple chart you will see that stress is reduced substantially and you will be able to make better trading decisions based on just two things price and volume.
Less is more in trading. Less trades you make, less things you have on your chart, less rules you have in your trading system. You have to do only do two things to make profit in trading find the trend and then trade the trend. There is nothing more to trading then that. Money management is an important part of all this. Happy trading.
2014 is being a long year in my trading I have seen some ups and down this year.
There are somethings that I have learned in the process. In this post I am going to share some of them with you. So that you can make good and profitable trading decision in year 2015.
You have to understand one thing that in this life you will only become good at something if you invest yourself fully in it. So make a commitment that you will make trading a habit. Like brushing your teeth you do not think about it you just do it.
In the same way you will trade your plan without thinking. Like it had become a habit for you.
It is the second most important thing in trading. You have to have some rules that are guiding your trading decision because without them you are lost. There so many things that you have to think about when you place your trade it is a good idea to make most of them a habit.
You can only make them habit only if you have trading rules and you follow them all the time. That is how you form a habit. After you have set rules and you are following them every day. If you not making profit then you should look at your rules then make changes accordingly.
It is important that you keep good records and make a weekly analysis of how you are going in your trading. You have to look for things that are not giving you results that you want in your trading and change them accordingly.
Make record keeping one of the steps of your trading process. What I like to do is that when I spot a trade I open my excel file where I keep my records. And enter details of the trade like lots, open price, stop loss and everything in it before entering the actual trade in the market.
You have to live by this rule if you want to stay in the business of trading long enough that you can make it a full time job. You should always know what is your risk on every trade that you make before you make it.
Trading is not a sprint it is a marathon so it is important that you have mentality right. If you place a trade which beyond your risk threshold that you will be in process of ruining your hole trading.
In trading you will have profit and losses you cannot run from it. You can do only one things that is to learn to live with them. It will make your trading a lot more better.
When the trades that you are making are not profitable and you have more than expected losing trades then you should with your given system. Then you should reduce your trading lots to minimum that your broker can allow till you start to make profits again.
This will help you to reduce your draw down and reserve your capital for future trading. When you start to make profitable trades systemically start to increase your trade size again.
What I do is when my capital is 10% lower than the starting amount I started the month with I reduce my trade lot to 1. When I have a profitable week then I increase the lot to two.
If I have two consecutive profitable weeks then I start taking 1% on every trade that I make. I also make it necessary that every trade that I make should have a risk reward ratio of more than 1:1.5 or higher.
That is it for today tomorrow we will discuss about Never turn a winner into a loser. See you tomorrow.
It is very important to have a trading plan if you want to succeed in your trading. Here is something that I learned while trading with my trading plan.
It gives a structured way to trade the market of your choice. There is no reason not to trade if your system is giving you a signal to buy or sell.
Even then you are not trading then it is not the problem with the system but in you psychology.
A well-defined plan give you structure to trade so that you can find the not important things that you are doing while trading and focus all your attention on what is most important like the Pareto principle.
If you focus on the most important and trade with a structured system you will become more profitable.
When you analysis what trade you have made with your system in past you can determine where you were wrong and correct it.
A system makes you consistent in your trading which is the most important thing of all.
If you do not have a trading plan in place this thing will not come to your trading and you will never become a professional trader.
When you are trading if you have a constant fear of loss then it will be very hard for you take trade. And if you do not make trades and then market go into your direction you feel the loss again because you have loss the opportunity to make profit.
How to overcome fear of loss?
You should master one method at a time. So that you know when your are entering a trade you are certain of your position.
Place your stop loss before placing your trade. So that when trade goes against you, you get out of the trade automatically.
Ask yourself what is the real reason behind your fear?
Do you really know what make you fear. If not then find out and get over it.
When do start to feel fear?
At what stage of trading do you think your fear start to kick in like when you see an trade and then the market start to go in another direction. Or when price bounces at you stop level.
You need to find out the source of fear and then eliminate it. Fear is caused by lack of knowledge when you have knowledge there is nothing to fear. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 5 |

Careful. News of someone's fall from grace may be greatly exaggerated. Don't be fooled into playing your hand prematurely.
It's hard to see the benefit of combining forces because you're doing fine as is. Nevertheless working with a certain someone takes things to the next level.
Resistance is futile so let bossy types have their day. They'll run out of steam eventually and that's when you can recoup your losses.
Many of the things you want can't be found in your current surroundings. It's why there's a push to expand or move on. Heed cosmic impulses.
Lighten up because your skepticism is coming across as a grudge. Extend the benefit of the doubt even if you have to fake it. It will put you in good stead.
It's hard to believe you've been the subject of so much gossip, but that won't help now. You need to get your version of events out there. Start tweeting!
There are career changes in store. Developments reawaken old aspirations. It's time to pursue things put on the backburner.
Wishful thinking gets you further than strategic thinking thanks to a Mars/Jupiter trine. Sometimes vision trumps hard cold analysis.
You don't agree with a partner's take on things, however it's important to support this person. Who knows? You may be proven wrong.
What you bring to the table counts most. Enter like you've got something to sell and people will buy. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUe-825V5jWIVPM_Lk | Линус Бенедикт Торвалдс () е създателят на ядрото Линукс (Linux).
Биография
Роден е в Хелзинки, Финландия на 28 декември 1969 г. и е син на журналистите Нилс и Анна Торвалдс, също и внук на поета Оле Торвалдс. Баща му и майка му са били активисти в университета в Хелзинки през 60-те. Женен е за Тове Торвалдс, шесткратна национална шампионка по карате. Среща я през зимата на 1993, когато той работи като асистент в компютърна лаборатория и води упражнения. Имат три дъщери.
Торвалдс посещава същия университет, като родителите си, от 1988 до 1996. Завършва специалността компютърни науки.
Интересът му към компютрите започва с 8-битовите машини Commodore VIC-20 (Комодор). След това се сдобива с "преносимия" компютър Sinclair QL (процесор Motorola 68008 и скорост 7,5 MHz), на който пренаписва операционната система почти изцяло. Той създава и един асемблер, текстов редактор, както и няколко игри. През 1990 получава IBM компютър (базиран на Intel 80386) и с него започва работата си по една често употребявана система тогава – Minix.
Още като студент той написва ядрото Линукс, занимавайки се с Minix, разпространява го сред приятели студенти и програмисти чрез университетския FTP-сървър и всеки започва да добавя по нещо и да го подобрява. Началната му цел е била написването на терминален емулатор за Minix, но резултатът от експериментите му е една оформяща се нова операционна система. Към началната версия на ядрото той прибавя и приложенията bash (команден интерпретатор) и gcc (C++/C компилатор).
Неговият талисман – плюшен пингвин на име Тъкс, става символ на Линукс и години по-късно, когато операционната система Линукс е вече много добре развита и конкурентоспособна, финансовото състояние на Торвалдс се променя коренно и той става изведнъж милионер, като през 1999 две от водещите Линукс-компании за големи предприятия (не само за крайния потребител) Red Hat и VA Linux му дават в знак на благодарност 20 милиона долара .
Линус Торвалдс се мести в Сан Хосе, Калифорния, където живее със семейството си няколко години до юни 2004 г. Оттогава Торвалдс живее в Портланд, Орегон, за да бъде по близо до работата си. Работил е за корпорацията Transmeta от февруари 1997 до юни 2003, но работи за организацията за свободен софтуер – OSDN (Open Source Development Network), за да подобрява ядрото на Линукс непрекъснато.

BkiUddI4dbghX5eqfknw | Smoke alarms are an invaluable component in home protection and fire safety, alerting families the moment the slightest waft of smoke drifts across their sensors. Those sensitive systems, however, can also create a state of perpetual frustration when, without an obvious cause, the beeping begins and seems to never end.
There may be variances in equipment, so consult the owner's manual if available. Most smoke alarms generally emit two types of beeps, although in some cases if the unit has reached the end of its life span, it may beep in a unique pattern. Check the user manual (usually available online) if the beep pattern is more distinct.
When smoke is present, many alarms transmit a continuous loud beep without breaks. The alarm may sound similar to a siren and deliver an unmistakable message of urgency.
If the beeping is a shorter chirping sound with intermittent breaks, it is possible the cause may be something other than smoke or fire. The solution could be as simple as changing a low battery.
Each scenario is unique, but the following steps offer a few handy tips for resolving the most common causes of the incessant beep of a temperamental smoke alarm.
Replace the used battery with a new battery of high quality.
Avoid using re-chargeable batteries, as the varying battery-life could impact the time between battery changes significantly.
The general recommendation is to change the battery approximately every six months. One easy rule of thumb to remember: Change the smoke alarm battery when changing clocks for Daylight Savings Time (spring and fall).
If the smoke detector is still beeping, verify the new battery has been installed correctly by checking the positive and negative posts on the battery and the smoke alarm. Match positive (+) to positive and negative (-) to negative.
Still beeping? Inspect the alarm to make certain it is not dirty. It is not uncommon for dust to collect inside the smoke alarm. In fact, some ceiling substances can flake off occasionally and accumulate within the smoke alarm or battery compartment.
Before attempting to clean the smoke alarm, remove the battery and turn off any electricity going into the unit.
Wipe any obvious debris away with a clean, dry cloth.
Gently blow loose dust away with soft, quick puffs of air from a can. Be careful not to cause any damage to the alarm components inside.
Significant temperature increases can activate recurrent beeping in smoke detectors. Ovens and steamy showers are often repeat offenders, generating frequent false alarms. Take practical steps to manage noticeable changes in temperature. If possible, open windows when baking and use exhaust fans when showering to eliminate excessive steam. Ionization smoke detectors are especially sensitive to fluctuations in air temperature, so homeowners using an ionization model may conclude that a photoelectric smoke detector is a better option. If all reasonable efforts to manage temperature changes are ineffective, consider changing the location of the smoke alarm to an area where the air temperature is more consistent.
Sometimes the test button may be pushed by mistake, especially when cleaning around the unit. The test button is designed to help you know your detector is working by pushing and holding it so the unit can emit a loud alert pattern. If you push and release the test button quickly or bump it by mistake, it could trigger the unit to relay that something isn't right and start the beeping.
Disconnect the power source by removing the battery. For hard-wired units, turn off the main breaker, as well.
Press and hold the test button for approximately 15 seconds.
After the brief alarm, release the test button and replace the battery.
For hard-wired detectors, reconnect power (turn the breaker on).
Most hard-wired units have a battery back-up, but some may beep due to electrical problems. The breaker may have been tripped, or there may be a loose wire. If the issue is wiring, its best to contact a certified electrician for inspection and repair.
Smoke detectors have a life span of five to ten years. If this is the problem, the beeps will likely present in a specific chirping pattern. Inspect the unit carefully and find the expiration date. If the smoke alarm is beyond that date, it's probably time to buy a new one.
If the above actions have failed, it may be time to consult the manufacturer. Look on their website or call the customer service line to find out if there are any product recalls.
If the unit in question doubles as a CO2 detector, check carbon monoxide levels in the home. The local fire department may be able to assist and likely has a non-emergency number. If occupants are experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, call 911.
Whether the issue is an easy fix or a more intensive effort, try to resolve the dilemma quickly. Not only will peace and quiet return, but you'll rest in the security of a safe and protected home again. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUbH_xaKgS2MYsNTxF | Tuesday was International Women's Day - but for us at Dar Si Hmad, every day is a powerful reminder of the incredible capabilities as well as the tragic struggles faced by women around the world.
We're taking a break from our RISE profile series to showcase our participants' thoughts on gender equality. Join the #PledgeForParity!
"She deserves to be celebrated every day"
Calling us to acknowledge the power of women and the issue of sexism not only on March 8th but throughout the year is Khadija Idbella. Khadija asserts that "The Moroccan woman is a fighter, dutiful about responsibility, and is the carrier of future generations. She deserves to be celebrated every day."
"There would be no society without women"
We've met Youness already via his RISE Profile. The twenty-year-old Agadir native wants to "create a center for providing resources and activities for underprivileged communities to promote cultural openness." Tuesday, Youness reflected on the role of women in underprivileged systems - saddened by the reality that women are "still seen as an unimportant part" of society even though "there would be no society" without them.
And rounding out our three Parity Pledges for today, Safa Naji shares a beautiful tribute to the complexity of Morocco and the incredible power of its women: "Nowadays, being a Moroccan woman means carrying the combination of tradition and modernity inside you and transmitting it to future generations. Moroccan women are unique, wise, and courageous." | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfRM5qhDCZ_S7edG- | Adventure activities have become very popular for individuals and corporate leisure. White water rafting cannot fail to give an adrenaline rush. It normally involves between four and twelve people in an inflatable boat flying over the wild river rapids. Most boats are up to twenty foot long and equipped with paddles. It can be a dangerous sport and there have been a number of tragic accidents. Some of these have been due to recklessness e.
, operating a raft whilst under the influence of alcohol. Other incidents are the result of inexperienced people unable to cope and sometimes, it has simply been a matter of bad luck. The danger must be kept in perspective. After all, it's still safer than crossing the road but it's very important for novices to take up white water rafting with a qualified instructor and a reputable company.
The sport has worked hard over the years to raise the standard of equipment and minimize injury. The actual regulations covering the use of rivers differ in different areas. Hazards to be aware of include fallen trees, rocks beneath the surface, high waterfalls and dams. Certain locations have benefited hugely from tourism, generated by white water rafting. Companies also like to send their employees on team building exercises over the rapids. Whether they bond with their colleagues or not, they'll certainly get a thrill. There is an awareness of the environmental impact of so many people using the river and some authorities restrict the times when rafting is allowed. The sport has become a favorite activity for pre-wedding outings for the groom and buddies. It has also been introduced to some programs for children's' summer camps. There are certain rivers across the world that is considered to be near perfect for white water rafting.
The sport is growing in popularity in Africa, Asia and the Middle East and is well established in America, Canada and Europe. Popular spots include the Zambezi River in Africa, the Shotover River in New Zealand and the Tara River in Montenegro. Many tourists take the opportunity of rafting in the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. The sport didn't suffer from the 1994 film, The River Wild, starring Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon. Perhaps it even gained a few more fans! The story centers around Streep's character, who is a river guide taking her family on a rafting trip. Unfortunately, they meet armed robbers and there are some exciting scenes on the river when a storm brews up. The movie was filmed on rivers in Oregon and Montana. . | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdVw5qYVBaJeOHM_6 | An Easier Way to Roll!
Any solar blanket can cover up your pool. But only ClearDeck® can cover up your solar blanket!
With ClearDeck®, covering and uncovering your pool couldn't be easier. Designed for convenient, one-person operation, Cleardeck's patented design requires minimal effort. See for yourself – click here to view a short video on the ClearDeck Web site!
ClearDeck sits flush with your deck when closed, your deck is free of clutter and the reel will not present a trip hazard. Plus, your solar blanket will be hidden out of sight and stored properly year round.
When it comes to your pool, the ClearDeck® In-Ground Solar Blanket Roller is as essential as the water!
If you're a first-time pool buyer, you may not fully realize how much money you can save while keeping your pool warm and ready for swimming. The good news is, there's an easy solution that will provide big savings: a solar blanket.
You would never run your home furnace while leaving the windows and doors open. But that's exactly what you're doing if you heat a pool without a solar blanket. A solar blanket prevents heat loss from your pool, so you won't have to run your pool heater as often, drastically reducing the cost of heating while maintaining your pool at the perfect temperature.
How does a solar blanket save you money?
During the day, a solar blanket acts as a heat collector, naturally increasing the temperature of your pool with minimal or no use of a heater.
When night falls, the solar blanket prevents the warmth from escaping – reducing heat loss in your pool by up to 90% compared to leaving your pool uncovered.
Additionally, a solar blanket will reduce chemical use and water evaporation.
From rectangle to free-form, the ClearDeck system is ideal for any shape or size of pool and can be installed in any type of deck surface. If you're considering a new pool, or renovating an existing pool deck, make sure you consider ClearDeck.
A solar blanket is the only swimming pool accessory that not only pays for itself, but will also save you money for many years to come. While other features such as pool lights and waterfalls may be eye-catching, they will never provide you with any actual savings. When you really think about it, a solar blanket really is as essential for your pool as the water!
After all, your pool is in-ground… your solar blanket should be, too! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
BkiUdXk4eIXhqpoAYEbT | You can download and read "The Icky Mr Fox", a free story app, onto your smart phone. It's a story about a rabbit and a mole enjoying a cup of tea when they get interrupted.
Read it aloud to your child by muting the sound icon on the top left of each page. Or you might prefer, you can listen to the app's narrator and follow the words with your finger. Your child will love tapping and swiping the phone to interact with the characters.
To download to an android smart phone (not iPhones), click here. To download to an iPhone or iPad, click here.
It's good to supervise your child when they are playing with your phone, and don't use it as a plaything too often. Keep it for a special treat or for when you are on the move together. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
