BkiUdZbxaKPQotSMw9eT | 2018 is the time of female empowerment—and that means it's time to shoot your shot. Professionally, of course.
Vinas, 2018 has been our year. Never before have women been more active in the political arena, more prominent in the business world and more present on social media platforms. We are striving to break through all of the ceilings that once held us back. We have become more independent than ever before and we know we're not planning on slowing down any time soon!
The best way to keep this momentum going is to be a monumental force in the workplace. And that means shooting your professional shot.
For those who may not know, "shoot your shot" comes from the concept that basketball players should just shoot the ball, even if they don't know if they'll make the shot or not. It is about having enough faith in themselves to believe that although the odds are against them, they will still make that shot anyways. We cheer on our vinas as they shoot their shots in relationships, but when they are shooting for their professional goals, we are more hesitant. Why is that?
Thankfully for us, this isn't the 1940s. Women today aren't doing the bare minimum anymore and neither should you. Men are moving forward in this world because they have no fear of backlash from others and we need to rid ourselves of that fear as well. Women are making room for other women to move up in the world, and to shy away from opportunities out of fear of what others will have to say would be unfair to ourselves.
Don't believe me? Think of any of the boss vinas you look up to and you'll see all of them had to brazenly chase what they wanted to get it. Thanks to women like Michelle Obama, Serena Williams, and Cardi B, we have proof that having a strong work ethic and accepting nothing but greatness is the new standards all vinas should be setting.
It's time for us to shoot our professional shot–even if it's from half court and we aren't really sure we'll make it. Because you never know if that shot will be the one that wins the game.
Want to meet other #girlbosses like you? There's tons of vinas waiting for you in our free communities. Start swiping! | c4 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

U.S. Secretary of Commerce visits Virginia Beach manufacturer to promote workforce training
By Briana Adhikusuma
The whir of self-navigating robots, conveyor belts and large machines molding plastic equipment parts filled the air Wednesday as an entourage of suits moved past employees inspecting parts and operating machinery.
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross asked questions and pointed at equipment as he toured Stihl Inc. in Virginia Beach, the U.S. headquarters of the German business. Lorraine Wagner, vice president of operations, explained different functions and processes on the factory floor.
The secretary's visit was part of a promotion for the White House's Pledge to America's Workers initiative, a five-year plan to get more companies to offer workforce training and career opportunities for high school students, post-retirement aged workers, and anyone in between.
Nearly 300 companies have signed the pledge so far. Ross, who leads the initiative with Ivanka Trump through the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board, hopes to set up programs and training to reach up to 10 million people.
The success of the plan, Ross said, will depend in part on changing the perception of manufacturing and factory-related careers.
"Parents have been brainwashed into thinking that factories are like what they were in the early 1900s – dark, dirty, smelly, dangerous places. Well they're not." he said.
"We have to re-educate children and their parents. Most of these kids have never been in a factory before," he said.
In Hampton Roads, the younger workforce is leaving the region and the current workforce is aging out, which means valuable skills could be lost. Ross believes an increase in training programs and connections with local schools and students will help workforce retention for the region.
"Unfortunately, we've pretty well done away with (vocational training). The U.S. has the least vocational training of any OECD country," he said, referring to the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development. "That's a horrible situation to be in. So we need initiatives like this to change it – to change the attitudes."
That need for attitude change extends to school counselors too, Ross said. Many school counselors are evaluated on how many kids they are able to help enroll into college.
Their evaluations should include their ability to help students find good jobs, he said. "Until we change the way we evaluate guidance counselors and until we change the way we evaluate schools, we're going to have a problem that we don't need to have based on misconceptions."
Hampton Roads suffers under the misconception about the amount and variety of industries here, Ross said. The region relies heavily on the defense industry, Ross said, and people often overlook what else is here. "Getting the word out" would help the region, as would building training programs in the right industries.
Ross's visit included time with students in Stihl's eighth annual manufacturing technology summer camp. Students will design and create two different types of fans and compete for a chance to win scholarships as part of the camp.
The camp received 61 applications – the most yet – and only 36 students were accepted. More than one-third of the participants are females.
"I was very struck as we were going on our little tour, not one single kid looked up from their work. They are soldering, or doing whatever they were doing," Ross said. "They were not going to be distracted just because some fancy-pantsy people came around into their work area."

Wagner said the camp, along with the company's dual-enrollment programs with Virginia Beach schools and apprenticeship programs it has run since 1984, are part of the company's dedication to the federal initiative. The company was expected to sign the pledge on Wednesday.
"We have an awful lot of training programs and in addition to that, we have a lot of training programs in-house, not just for technical training but also leadership training," she said. "So I think we've already covered all the bases. It's just signing up and joining in."
Training high school students is currently the greatest interest of the companies that have signed the pledge, Ross said.
"The interface between the educational system and manufacturing sector is not as robust as it really should be. It used to be. When I was a kid – I grew up in New Jersey and it was routine – you would have a school trip to a farm and then another day, to a manufacturing plant. You don't hear about that as much anymore. We need to get back to that."

PART I: Who Knows the Law?…And How?
Overview of the Series on Substantive Law in Arbitrations
How is the substantive law in an international arbitration proceeding established before an arbitral panel during an arbitration? By substantive law, we are of course referring to the body of laws that apply to the interpretation of the contract and the underlying activities (for instance, environmental or consumer protection laws).

Thu, 2020-10-08 14:39
International arbitration continues to grow in popularity as an alternative form of dispute resolution. Parties routinely cite cost-savings, efficiency, autonomy, and expertise as the advantages of arbitration over civil proceedings in foreign jurisdictions.

BkiUeRbxK02iP4Y2vRDe | I know that washing windows is not the most glamorous of things to do but, even if you're lucky enough to have a lovely window cleaner you still probably need to clean the windows yourself sometimes. After all, if you have guests over to visit you want every part of your home looking its best and dirty windows is not an impression you want your guests to leave with. So I think that anything that makes cleaning windows easier is worth a shout.
There are three versions of this compact little machine – the WV5 Premium is the top of the range at a very affordable £65-80 depending on when it's on sale – I was lucky enough to grab this one; the next one down is the WV2 Plus at £59.99 and the baby of the group is the WV1 at a mere £39.99. You may be thinking that "my window cleaner doesn't charge anything like that" but add up what you pay in a year and you may be surprised. All these machines are lightweight and easy to handle. The lithium-ion batteries are reasonably long-lasting and re-chargeable. Note- you will have to charge the window vac initially before first use.
These little machines are simplicity itself to use and – this is a massive plus point – require only minimal effort. The same method is used whether you are cleaning your interior or exterior glass. You simply spray on the special detergent supplied by Karcher, and give the glass a quick wipe using the supplied microfibre cloth. Then – and here is the really fun part – you vacuum away the dirty water. Couldn't be easier. The smaller machine is ideal for cleaning your interior mirrors which, let's face it always seem to end up with sticky finger marks and smears no matter how careful you are.
Despite my best efforts it is quite difficult to keep the bathroom squeaky clean after use. Whether you love to luxuriate in your tub or prefer a zingy shower session you always get the problem of limescale residue and streaks left on the shower screen and on the tiles. And hey presto the little Karcher comes up trumps here too. A quick window vac is all that's needed to prevent that ugly build-up of limescale.
It seems there is nothing the Karcher Window Vac range can't deal with. For instance, the eternal problem of condensation is one which we're all familiar with. Our double-glazed, hermetically sealed homes are unable to dispel moisture properly, especially in bathrooms. This means that we're constantly battling dripping walls and windows. How easy it is then to just vacuum it up with the Karcher and pour it away down the sink. It can even deal with spills on hard surfaces like tea or wine. With a quick sweep of the Karcher the spill is gone. It certainly beats repeated mopping with reams of kitchen towel.
In conclusion, the Karcher Window Vac range is a very useful and efficient way to clean windows and more. Leaving a streak-free finish without leaving lots of water on the floor, it's a great time saver. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

There's good reason for this: the cmex fonts aren't really designed to scale, so that TeX's maths placement algorithms don't perform as well as they might when the fonts are scaled.
However, this behaviour confounds user expectations, and can lead to slightly odd-looking documents. If you want the fonts to scale, despite the warning above, use the exscale package — just loading it is enough. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Adaptations and Geographic Distributions
Related Biology essays
Bats are mammals from the order Chiroptera and their forelimbs form webbed wings. This development makes them one of the only species of mammals that are capable of flight. The oldest fossils that came about around the eoscene era which was about fifty to sixty years ago show that bats still look very much similar to their current appearance. This was long before even humans began to evolve from the apes and yet bat ancestors had already developed mechanisms and adaptations to chase insects using echolocation. They are the only species that represent the ability of flight within the class of mammals. This paper investigates the background of bats from evolution to the present day providing reasons for any differences so far established.
Presently, the missing link between the non-flying element in mammals and flying mammals in evolution remains unknown to scientists. As a basic assumption, they believe that microchiroptera was the original ancestor for both types of mammals. The ancestor probably originated from small gliding mammals from the order of insectivora (The Wild Classroom 2011). At the present, this order continues being classified a small rodent resembling mammals that feed on insects like shrews and moles. There are two suborders of bats, which are the microchiroptera and megachiroptera. Both orders share many commonalities. However, there have some distinct characteristics identified by scientists making the two evolutions different.
The megachiroptera include the flying fox and the big brown bat while the little brown bat belongs to the microchiroptera order. First, the former suborder does not have a form of echolocation while the latter has. They also have different pulp grinding teeth. The megachiroptera teeth are designed differently as they are used to crush pulp from fruits. The latter suborder had teeth designed to crush insects, therefore meeting separate design objectives. The differences in these characteristics have made some experts believe that the two did not originate from a single ancestor.
Scientists believe that the fruit eating the variety of megachiroptera rather evolved from primates. This is unlikely because evolution into flight capability occurred in two instances if the claim is true. The insectivorous variety evolved in its own and the fruit eating kind evolved from a common ancestor. The folly here is that humans belong to the order of primates; therefore, they share a common ancestor with fruit bats, which is highly unlikely. At the same time, the prospect that flight in mammals happened twice in evolution to a certain extent is unlikely.
Currently, the theory that makes sense is that bats came from an order of insectivora and diverted to the present varieties of species. Diversion in the form of different ancestors does not seem feasible. Vicariance and environmental linkages have been described as some of the main reasons for variations and origins for bat species (Genoways et. al 2011). Researchers concluded after thoroughly surveying territories in the Caribbean that the oldest lineage of bats came from the region and its surroundings. These included the Brachyphylla and the Phyllonycteris. Vicariance provides a reason for the pre-existence of the Antillean vertebrate species.
There are many arguments made on the geographic distribution of species. Darwin for one argued that the geographic distribution of species made no sense if the species had been created separately (Wells 2009). There are cases that disputed his theory. Darwin gave examples of presences of bats, with absolutely no terrestrial life on them, in exotic oceanic islands as instances of inexplicable happenings in the scheme of creation. From another point of view, it seems that he did not want agree that he may have been wrong, and migration was a probable factor.
Darwin admitted that it was possible for bats to fly to new landmasses. Nonetheless, land animals were not part of this allowance. Darwin also knew that migration could not account for all the patterns of geographic forms of distribution. For example, the existence of plant life on a summit mountaintop separated from each other by lowlands where alpine species could not exist in a possible scheme of a striking case of the same species living at different points without the possibility of having migrated from one point to another. He went on to explain that the recent ice age could offer a reasonable explanation to this case.
There were arctic plants and animals that were nearly the same that flourished almost everywhere in Europe, as well as the Northern parts of America. Still, when the warmth came back, the same brand of species that had lived together in the lowlands found itself in the arctic summits of the old and the new worlds (Kunz 2003). They also found themselves on many isolated mountaintops far from each other. Seasons were responsible for this transformation of different environments. The fauna was moved by the changing weather. Similarly, the geographical movement and positioning contributed to it.

It is then proven that not every geographic distribution is a by-product of migration, but that of vicariance. Splitting of the widespread and established populations of fauna in specific is the main reason behind the differences in scenery in these cases. Geographical distribution in the latitudinal variation as concerns the species ranges may have been a consequence of the differences among the species when it came to body mass. Many researchers have concluded that large bodied species have greater geographical ranges as compared to the smaller bodied types.
The conclusion thereof implies that the micro species were partial to enclosed regions while the mega order preferred a larger vicinity of the operation. There are hypotheses suggesting that the range sizes would go according to the body size in equal proportions. Even then, the eating habits may also have a hand in this issue. Microchiroptera are typically insect eaters and are most like key to inhabit one region more than they would in a larger continental region. They resemble a hive in their operations unlike the megachiroptera, which has the bigger body mass. Subsequently, they have a much higher probability to survive from longer migrations. In this case, the small varieties do not have the same probabilities of survival.

Bats have distributed themselves across the world in a fashion that would easily suggest weather or climate preferences. America holds the richest fraction of the groupings having at least 200 species of bats. The temperate regions, on the other hand, are quite impoverished. As a result, bats do not like the tropics and Africa being saddled with the latitudinal lines holds a few species of the group compared to other well-endowed continents (Altringham 1996). Only migration and climate change are two factors that are constantly changing their patterns.
There were areas previously populated with bats in the Pacific and Atlantic only to be left for another home. Other factors that may influence the pattern include the existence of deserts such as the Sahara in Northern parts of Africa. There are no bat inhabitants in these regions as compared to other areas of the same latitudes. The areas of South and Central America hold the richest populations. These regions did not have the climatic or environmental settings they have at the moment. Their development through time has had a hand in the migration to areas of new preference.

BkiUdD_xK4sA-9F9kTiz | Vern Frykholm, a mainstay at the Northwest Colonial Festival, was recently selected to revive the role of the American forefather at an Independence Day event at the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota in July. (Matthew Nash/Olympic Peninsula News Group)
Sequim's 'George Washington' selected for Independence Day event
by Michael Dashiell
Sunday, May 2, 2021 1:30am
LifeClallam County
SEQUIM — Vern Frykholm has appeared throughout the Puget Sound region as George Washington, portraying the first president in parades, at schools, for local festivals, and Veterans' events.
This July, the Sequim resident will head east to Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, where he will portray Washington during Independence Day weekend, July 3-4.
Frykholm first appeared as George Washington in February 2012 at the Agnew-areaGeorge Washington Inn's annual birthday tea for the founding father.
Since then, he estimates he has made more than 400 presentations to about 25,000 people.
Most of those have been in western Washington, though he appeared at the Historical Novel Society's North America conference in 2019 near Washington, D.C. and made school appearances in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The opportunity to portray Washington at Mount Rushmore is a special honor, Frykholm said.
In 2015 he visited the monument on Independence Day to observe another Washington portrayer, Carl Closs of Pennsylvania, who has presented there for several years.
It was a highlight to meet with Closs and the other portrayers, Fritz Klein as Lincoln, Gib Young as Theodore Roosevelt, and Tom Pitz as Thomas Jefferson.
To improve his knowledge and understanding of Washington, Frykholm has read more than 50 books, and follows current research by historians of that era.
He also has visited many of the historical locations associated with the first president, such as his birthplace in Virginia, Mount Vernon; Williamsburg, Va., where Washington served in the colonial House of Burgesses; Valley Forge in Pennsylvania; and the sites of several battles from the French and Indian War and the American Revolution.
Frykholm most frequently appears in fifth and eighth grade classrooms — currently using Zoom.
"My goal is to educate, entertain, and inspire," Frykholm said.
"I often present students with the challenges and problems Washington faced in his youth — the loss of his father at age 11, his family's relative poverty as his widowed mother raised six children, and his lack of formal education. These were powerful factors in shaping Washington's character."
On his website, www.georgewashingtonspeaks.com, Frykholm is developing a series of videos which can be used in classrooms, to be followed by Zoom sessions to answer questions.
This would allow him to interact with classrooms beyond the Puget Sound region.
School presentations are done free of charge.
The website recordings are also accessible to the general public.
Frykholm can be reached at 360-460-9302 for more information.

You can also insurance your business against theft and other loss. It is called short term because the needs of such insurance can change on a monthly basis.
These agreements or policies are flexible according to a clients short term needs.

BkiUdvc4eIOjR9j0NLNc | Poor Lamb
Art Test Restoration 0
The Polyptych of the Mystical Lamb by Van Eyck is again open to the public, with new lighting but above all with a new, very expensive, case, necessary for a better conservation of the artwork.
To tell the truth, they should worry about other aspects.
We are still convinced of what we wrote a little over a year ago in our newsletter
The astonishing silence of the Lamb not the Optical Revolution
It is an image that has gone viral, perhaps to promote an expensive exhibition, the umpteenth "made in Belgium" restoration of the Van Eyck brothers' Mystical Lamb Polyptych (N.B."The Ghent altar revealed" only closed in 2017).
The realistic eyes of the Lamb as we had known them, have been removed to reveal the first version of the painting, where the Lamb has a less ovine and more "human" appearance.
Let's read what the restorer told the New York Times: "at some point in the 1500s another painter, or perhaps a group of painters, decided that it needed a reworking. They may have wanted to change the painting for theological reasons — this was, after all, the middle of the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Church was rewriting its doctrines at the Council of Trent — or because painting styles had changed".
The whole painting was redone, she said, "not only the lamb but all the draperies, the top part of the landscape, the sky and the city view, and on the reverse of the wings, about 70 percent was overpainted."
She added: "What is peculiar about this one is that it was extremely carefully done so that all the contours of the figures were respected and most of the colors were reproduced with very high-quality pigments. It was not a botched job."
But luckily, restorers discovered that there was also a very thick layer of varnish between the original painting and the newer version, which made it relatively easy for them to remove that layer to get back to van Eyck's work, Ms. Dubois said. The original head of the lamb, for example, was "in very good condition," she said. "We only had to do a tiny restoration of tiny paint losses."
Let's read it again.
They removed a "repaint" not only historicized, but almost coeval, made with similar pigments and techniques.
Already since 1972 the Italian Restoration Charter (Art 6) absolutely forbids such practices, and for good reasons.
Especially since the first version of the lamb was clearly visible in reflectography and it could have been documented even better with our Multilayer Method, and maybe illustrated in a display panel.
So why this crazy and "criminal" decision?
We are left speechless. And it is a pity that the leaders of Italian restoration arena seem to be speechless too.
We would have preferred to discuss van Eyck's true Optical Revolution, the one described by David Hockney and Charles Falco but also by Roberta Lapucci. The one that made it possible, through the use of mirrors and lenses, perhaps not to Hubert, but certainly to Jan, to obtain such a photographic rendering of faces and objects. And lambs.

BkiUdyXxK0wg05VB72Zl | So, less than 24 hours ago, I alluded to the next Book that Shaped my Life: The Catcher in the Rye. It's almost a cliche to include this novel in a list of "most influential books," but maybe I'll rise above the obvious when I say that as a suicidal teen questioning her sexuality and completely ostracized by what is normal, well, let's just say this book hit a little close to the mark.
I think the main reason why kids today absolutely love the one required book they are assigned is the universality of Holden Caulfield. He is more than the quintessential anti-hero; he is the poster boy of lost souls. When you cannot make sense of yourself in a world of tropes, Holden calls out and says, "Hey, I'm lost, too." There are no easy answers from his tale, but long before It Gets Better, Holden was a candle in the night (and, yes, J.D. Salinger would flog me for that cliche, which—not so incidentally—I might like). | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

35 Million Eat Out To Help Out Meals Sold In Two Weeks
August 20, 2020 Food and Drink, News
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced that over 35 million meals were bought using his 'Eat Out to Help Out' initiative during the first two weeks of August, with consumers throughout the UK keen in taking advantage of the initiative bringing a much-needed boost to the sector
The Treasury and HM Revenue & Customs overseeing the roll out of 'Eat Out to Help Out' have released numbers showing that week two more than doubled in numbers from 10 million in week one.
The numbers show significant support from UK consumers prompting an enthusiastic Sunak to say: "Today's figures show that Britain is eating out to help out – with at least 35m meals served up in the first two weeks alone, that is equivalent to over half of the UK taking part and supporting local jobs in the hospitality sector."
More than 85,000 restaurants have now registered for Eat Out to Help Out. According to data from booking site Open Table, it has helped restaurants to be 27% fuller on average than they were during the Monday-to-Wednesday period in August 2019.
Mr Sunak said: "With at least 35 million meals served up in the first two weeks alone, that is equivalent to over half of the UK taking part and supporting local jobs in the hospitality sector.
"To build back better we must protect as many jobs as possible, that is why I am urging all registered businesses to make the most of this by claiming back today – it's free, simple and pays out within five working days."
And the data comes days after online booking firm OpenTable said restaurants have been on average 27% fuller than they were during the same period in August 2019.
The initiative is a welcome respite for most hospitality businesses, and some are now extending the initiative.
Writing on Twitter the Chancellor said:
⬆️ More than 72,000 individual restaurants registered
🔍 Over 3.3m searches on the restaurant finder
💷 50% off all day and night, £10 per person
😋 Unlimited Mon-Wed, no vouchers needed.

BkiUdj45ixsDMDLI8Wb6 | The amount of student debt nearly tripled between 2005 and 2017, according to a recent study. While employees and employers alike may benefit from a workforce with more education and a higher percentage of college degrees, each may also experience negative results from the debt that often accompanies a degree.
Among individuals studied for the report there were two important, and perhaps obvious, findings. First, college graduates are better off financially than are peers who attend college but do not graduate. And second, those who graduate without debt experience better financial outcomes than those who have debt.
Little Impact on Participation, but What About Account Balances?
What is the effect on 401(k) savings for each group? On the surface, it appears the answer is "not much," at least in terms of 401(k) plan participation. Young workers with student loans tend to participate in available plans about as frequently as do those without such loans. Even the size of the student loan does not seem to impact participation much.
However, for those at the age of 30, there was a difference in the amount of retirement savings between the groups.
For workers with the smallest amount of student debt — those below the 25th percentile — retirement savings averaged $9,000 for graduates and $5,100 for non-graduates. Across the board, the numbers were similar for workers who had graduated: those in the mid-range of student debt had saved $9,100 for retirement, and those with the largest amount of student debt had put aside $9,300. Non-graduates had not saved as much. Those in the middle had set aside $3,600 and those with the greatest amount of student debt but no degree had saved just $2,200 for retirement.
Based on those savings figures at age 30, it appears the amount of student debt has less of an impact on retirement accumulations than does the mere presence of the debt. This suggests that workers are often mindful of their debt, and that it factors heavily into their decision to save — or not. Employers can use this information to educate employees about financial wellness, paying close attention to communicating about how to pay off debt.

BkiUdog5qoTBG9o64UOc | U.S. may cut financial assistance to Ukraine by 70% in 2018 – media
Tuesday, April 25, 2017 - 14:09 (EEST) Section: International, Latest news, Politics
U.S. President Donald Trump`s vow to put "America first" includes a plan to drastically cut assistance to developing countries and merge the State Department with USAID, according to an internal budget document and sources, according to Foreign Policy.
The administration`s March budget proposal vowed to slash aid to developing countries by over one-third, but contained few details. According to a detailed 15-page State Department budget document obtained by Foreign Policy, the overhaul also includes rechanneling funding from development assistance into a program that is tied closely to national security objectives.
The document details how the Trump administration`s plans to reduce direct foreign assistance would take place in fiscal year 2018.
Some of the cuts appear directed at countries that had been regarded as strategically important. For instance, foreign assistance to Ukraine, which is used to encourage political and economic reform, is facing a 68.8 percent cut.
"One of the major themes and purposes and directions of U.S. policy in Ukraine for years and years has been to encourage them to move toward European institutions," said William Taylor, the former ambassador to Ukraine under George W. Bush and now vice president at the U.S. Institute of Peace.
"It`s in our interest that they don`t move toward Russian institutions."
However, the publication notes that given the steep bipartisan opposition to slashing foreign assistance, Congress likely will not consent to the entire proposed reduction.

The Astoria is built in a Victorian style and is often described as a castle or a fortress because of its brick spires and turrets. This mid-rise community offers luxury at an affordable price in a very convenient location just across the river from DC and located in the popular Courthouse area.
The Astoria offers studio, 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom with den, and 2 bedroom units with 1-2.5 baths. The community is in a quiet, park-like setting with lots of green space. Conveniences like exercise room, party room, outdoor pool, picnic area and other amenities are available on site. Washers and dryers are located in each home.
Although the Astoria is located on Lee Hwy. running along I-66, residents can walk to the metro. The rear of the building provides convenient access to the Clarendon/Courthouse area. A variety of restaurants and nightlife are close by. The Safeway grocery and CVS are nearby, as is the year-round Arlington Farmers Market. Area parks include Rhodeside, Hillside and Rosslyn Highlands.
The Astoria is a 5-minute walk from the Courthouse Metro Station on the Orange and Silver lines and only a 5-minute drive from Georgetown or downtown DC. Located right along Lee Hwy. and I-66, residents can easily access Arlington, DC and Northern Virginia. With mostly flat terrain and excellent bike lanes, bicycling is a great mode of alternative transportation. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUcWXxK1yAgYaM1nBV | Q: Incremental backup tar error I'm making a backup system.
I have 2 servers : the main sends data to the backup server, then, the backup server compress the data. To save disk usage, I just compress the files that have changed thanks to a flag-file that stores the last backup time.
Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes my script is exiting with an error 123This error is comming from xargs
The description is :
123 if any invocation of the command exited with status 1-125
So the command I launch is :
find /home/* -name "." -not -path "/home/*/www/cache/*" -not -path "/home/*/www/cc/cache/*" -not -path "/home/*/www/ot/cache/*" -not -path "/home/backups/*" -newer /var/backups/data/flagfile -print0 | xargs -0 -r tar -czvf /home/backups/incremental/H14/backup.tar.gz
When I do this :
find /home/* -name "*.*" -not -path "/home/*/www/cache/*" -not -path "/home/*/www/cc/cache/*" -not -path "/home/*/www/ot/cache/*" -not -path "/home/backups/*" -newer /var/backups/data/flagfile -print0
It returns a list of files like expected.
Thanks for any help !
A: It might be a good idea to redirect the list of files to a text file first, call it files.txt
find /home/* -name "."
-not -path "/home/*/www/cache/*"
-not -path "/home/*/www/cc/cache/*"
-not -path "/home/*/www/ot/cache/*"
-not -path "/home/backups/*"
-newer /var/backups/data/flagfile -print0 > files.txt
tar -czvf /home/backups/incremental/H14/backup.tar.gz ...
Any user can write some pretty weird filenames to your system by uploading
to their website.
When xargs crashes look at the file with a hexviewer and check for non ascii characters ;)
also which version of xargs are you using...
A: I solved the problem with the following code :
find /home/* -name "."
-not -path "/home/*/www/cache/*" -newer /var/backups/data/flagfile -print0 > files.txt
Then the tar command :
tar czvf /home/backups/incremental/H14/backup.tar.gz --files-from files.txt --quoting-style=shell
The --quoting-style=shell escapes special chars so the tar doesn't exit.

BkiUfPU5qhLBrnqN0Na5 | Q: Как изменить свойство виджета color на значение, находящееся в переменной? class LearnPoint extends StatelessWidget {
Color color;
Icon icon;
String name;
String text;
LearnPoint({this.color, this.icon, this.name, this.text});
this.icon.color = Colors.amber; //<------ что -то типа вот этого
@override
//...
}
}
A: Stateful и Stateless виджеты
Конкретно под ваши нужды, необходимо использовать Stateful.
Например:
class SimpleWidget extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_SimpleWidgetState createState() => _SimpleWidgetState();
}
class _SimpleWidgetState extends State<SimpleWidget> {
Color backgroundColor = Colors.yellow;
changeColor()
{
setState(() {
backgroundColor = Colors.grey;
});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Container(
color: backgroundColor,
child: Text("Простой виджет"),
);
}
}
При вызове метода changeColor(), изменяется значение переменной и перерисовывается виджет, благодаря setState(...).
Более подробно описано здесь.

BkiUfLQ5qoTAhv86i_-w | This is a project I did a while back. It is a CJ750 (chinese motorcycle) NOT a BMW. Please don't lynch me it was the customer's design but I did the work and I am proud of the paint job and specialty items. The paint is black base with several coats of clear coat and then wet sanded and hand buffede. The BMW logos came out of car hub caps and the beuty rings were made from 6061 aluminum. I also assembled the bike when it arrived from china in a crate. If you ever have a chance to work on or get one of these bikes I STRONGLY recommend you run the other way and FAST!!! I am NOT KIDDING!!!
By the way that is me sitting on the bike in the first picture.
Yup. Have heard some stories about those. Gotta say though, I do like the engine. The boxer twin is a neat style. Seams like it would have potential for a project if the engine is up for it. I can envision some cool frames for it. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdFg5qdmC-HfOZOZX | Hubb's 25 points lead Notre Dame past Georgia Tech 78-74
Posted: Jan 16, 2020 / 12:10 AM EST / Updated: Jan 16, 2020 / 12:10 AM EST
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA – DECEMBER 21: Prentiss Hubb #3 of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish shoots the ball against the Indiana Hoosiers during the Crossroads Classic at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on December 21, 2019 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
ATLANTA (AP) – Prentiss Hubb scored 25 points, John Mooney recorded another double-double and Notre Dame pulled away late to beat Georgia Tech 78-74 on Wednesday night.
Hubb's follow-up layup gave the Fighting Irish (11-6, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) a 67-64 lead. T.J. Gibbs added a 3-pointer to stretch the lead to six points with 1:04 remaining.
Jose Alvarado's layup with 6 seconds left cut Notre Dame's lead to 77-74. Hubb made one of two free throws with four seconds remaining for the final margin.
Gibbs had 17 points Dane Goodwin had 15.
Michael Devoe led Georgia Tech (8-9, 3-4) with 22 points and nine rebounds. Moses Wright had 16 points.
The Yellow Jackets fell to 0-3 in home ACC games.
Mooney's hook shot with 2:48 remaining gave Notre Dame a 63-60 lead and gave the senior his 11th consecutive double-double, tying the school record. Mooney overcame 0-for-6 shooting from the field in the first half to finish with 10 points and 13 rebounds. The 6-foot-9 senior missed each of his six shots from the field, including three 3-pointers, in the first half. His only points came on two free throws.
Mooney's first field goal came on a jam about three minutes into the second half.
Mooney matched the Notre Dame record of 11 consecutive double-doubles set by Luke Harangody in the 2008-09 season.
Hubb drove the length of the court for a layup to end the first half, giving the Irish a 29-27 lead.
It was a familiar halftime scenario for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets have trailed at the break in 13 of 17 games. They have rallied in the second half for four wins after trailing at halftime.
Even as Mooney began to find his shot, Georgia Tech took a 47-41 lead before Notre Dame scored six straight for a 50-49 advantage.
Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish showed good poise down the stretch, especially from Hubb. Notre Dame used only seven players but its veteran presence paid off in the final minutes.
Georgia Tech: Despite shooting 51.7 percent from the field and outscoring Notre Dame 48-32 in the paint, the Yellow Jackets fell short in yet another home loss. Alvarado had nine assists and Devoe played an all-around solid game.
Notre Dame: Following a week off, the Fighting Irish play Syracuse on Jan. 22.
Georgia Tech: Remains home to face Virginia on Saturday night.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in our school. This website will hopefully assist you in learning a little more about our school and the wonderful but unique educational programmes we have on offer for our 1,700 students.
TES is distinctly different from other international schools in that we operate four independent sections under one European roof. Our French, German and British sections offer the choice of their respective European national curricula for students aged 3 to 14 years. Our High School allows all three sections to merge together and for the first two years students undertake the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) or French and German co-qualifications. The final two years of High School culminate in the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB).
Our growing reputation and image in Taiwan and across Asia has seen demand for places reach record levels, particularly in our High School. We are hugely proud of the fact that our graduating students consistently win places at universities that are among the best across the world.
We are very proud of our status as a non-profit organisation, as all funds generated at the school are reinvested into supporting the school's further development of teaching and learning. At TES we pride ourselves on the personal knowledge and experience we have with each of our children and their families.
We feel that this "school as a village rather than a city" approach is best for our students, as in a village everyone knows each other and works together for the benefit of the entire community. For this reason, enrolment growth will be carefully controlled into the future so that we will always be in a position to personally know and support each of our students.
We are extremely grateful for the support and commitment from our Board of Directors, most kindly and ably led by Dr C.V. Chen and from our various Governors and parent groups across the school. Local and international companies and individuals have also played a major part through donations and sponsorship of our capital development projects. We thank them and all our sponsors for their continued support.
Once again, welcome to our school and I trust that you will enjoy learning more about the exciting and rewarding opportunities that exist as a student, parent, staff member, alumnus or friend.

BkiUcpk4ubnjorQ5q7Cg | Tuition fees architect says even Tories will turn against them thanks to vice-chancellors' 'cartel'
Cameron and Clegg accused of destroying Blair's sensible scheme
Andrew Adonis, the former education minister who initially introduced tuition fees, has predicted that both Labour and the Tories will call for their abolition going into the next election.
In an article for the Times, the architect of Tony Blair's fees scheme, introduced in 2004, defends the initial plan as 'a sensible idea', which applied moderate charges to counter the under-funding of universities, while providing zero-interest loan schemes for poorer students.
However, Adonis claims the scheme was 'wrecked by David Cameron and Nick Clegg's decision to treble them overnight, and by the greed and complacency of vice-chancellors [VCs] who thought they were a licence to print money.'
As critical as he is of Cameron and Clegg, his most vicious contempt is reserved for the university leaders:
"The VCs were soon congratulating themselves on the continued success of their cartel, and awarded themselves huge pay increases. Bath university's boss pocketed £450,000 last year and average pay is more than £275,000. Ministers should have intervened to break the cartel and curb these excesses, but didn't."
From there, it was inevitable that student resentment would snowball as young people found themselves starting out with debts of more than £50,000. Since young voters richly rewarded Jeremy Corbyn's proposal to scrap tuition fees in this election, Adonis sees no reason that Labour would abandon the promise in the next campaign.
Meanwhile, since the Tories have virtually no support among students and academics, he believes that they will have little choice but to follow suit.
He concludes:
"So VCs need to start planning for real austerity. The flow of money from £9,000 fees will soon dry up. They could set an example and halve their salaries."
Of course, student activists groups which have opposed the introduction of fees from the beginning will not agree that their abolition is any cause for dismay.

Ben Cosin
It is not merely future fees that are an issue; the conditions attached to those already deeply indebted are a serious threat to many thousands of graduates whose debts are increasing – and unpredictably, since the students loan finance company has apparent carte blanche to raise the interest rate; and the threshold for the obligation to repay is not increased with inflation or increased wage levels – so that ever poorer cohorts of graduates are obliged to pay up. Root and branch reform of this historic injustice is long overdue.
RobD
Awful policy from New Labour. It was always going to lead to ever increasing prices and spiralling student debt.
Jim Lockie
Obviously, a social and political disaster to increase fees to students and abolish zero rate interest for poorer students. Total independence of universities has allowed pay and staff cuts to lecturers+ big pay increases to Top management.
Decision now taken by Labour, (to be followed by Tories?), for massive extra spend on students. Done deal, extra £11bn over 5 yrs. More than offered to NHS or school education. Politically, that obviously has paid off. Thought has now to be given to the quality of university education and its purpose.
Why do so many graduates find it difficult to get suitable employment at a time of very high jobs vacancy level? Why do so many employers find graduates and other young people unprepared and untrained for jobs?
Just throwing money at things does not always solve the problem! | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUb526NNjgBpvIALoO | WHATEVER else you might think of Sue Bradford, she sticks to her principles. You have to respect her for walking away in disgust from the Internet-Mana pantomime.
Who, other than the most gullible, is going to believe these two parties have genuine shared concerns? They are united only by rank opportunism.
Hone Harawira needs access to Kim Dotcom's bank account, while Herr Dotcom seems driven by a personal grudge against John Key and a need for political friends who might help him avoid extradition. These are hardly a sound basis for a credible political party.
In his desperation to make the merger look honourable, Harawira argues that Internet access is a pressing issue for young Maori. This is a convenient but very recent conversion. When I last looked, digital access wasn't even mentioned on the Mana website.
The $200,000 that Dotcom reportedly put into the Internet Party [note: since this column was written, we've learned the sum is $3 million] is a far more likely explanation for Harawira's enthusiasm. But at least he had the decency to grin cheekily when he admitted coveting his new ally's resources. Like Winston Peters, he often gives the game away by grinning when he knows no one is fooled.
Unfortunately a mischievous grin can't disguise the truth that this alliance is a cynical exploitation of a deeply flawed electoral system. Theoretically at least, there is a possibility that Internet-Mana will end up in a classic tail-wags-dog position of power that bears no relationship to its voter support.
What's more, the two parties have undertaken to review their relationship six weeks after the election. So if they get into Parliament, all bets will be off. Take that, suckers.
The best we can hope for is some entertainment as the inherent tensions boil to the surface and Internet-Mana blows up like Krakatoa. How long, for example, before Mana office-holder John Minto – a conviction politician in the Bradford mould – spits the dummy? He can only fool himself for so long that the merger is in the best interests of the proletariat.
Even on their own, far- Left parties such as Mana have a glorious history of disembowelling themselves. Who knows what bloody mayhem could result when the hard-core Left hitches itself to a wholly incompatible ally like the Dotcom party?
MY FELLOW columnist Joe Bennett has written in these pages about his irritation at the tone of phony familiarity adopted by marketers in their sales pitches. I think I know what he means.
A few weeks ago I received a card from Telecom announcing its proposed name change. It began with the words "Hey there", which is the type of fatuous greeting you might expect from a cashier at Starbucks.
Genesis periodically sends me emails with the subject line "Let's chat", apparently unaware that a chat is a two-way dialogue that requires consent from both parties. Other companies begin their promotional messages with the words "Hi guys", at which point I stop reading.
A common marketing misjudgment, one guaranteed to raise older people's hackles, is the presumption that customers are happy to be addressed by their first names.
Members of the generation that was brought up to address each other as "Mr" or "Mrs", at least until invited to do otherwise, are affronted when employees in the bank or insurance company, who are usually young enough to be their grandchildren, assume the right to call them "Joe" or "Mary".
Most are too polite to say anything, but quietly grit their teeth in resentment.
The problem, of course, is that corporate marketing departments are run by Generation X-ers who assume that older customers will be flattered to be addressed as if they are teenage airheads.
I'm waiting for a bright young marketing graduate to send me an email with the introductory words, "Hey, dude". It can only be a matter of time.
BIG GOVERNMENT is now so all-pervasive that many people find it hard to imagine life without it.
That was evident from a recent minor party leaders' debate on TV3's The Nation, in which ACT leader Jamie Whyte was treated as some sort of freak - or possibly even a traitor - for daring to suggest that New Zealanders don't need constant intervention from the state in every aspect of their lives. This is clearly a dangerous heresy.
Only days later, Dr Whyte got a similar going-over from Guyon Espiner on Morning Report. It seems we've all become so accustomed to the smothering influence of Big Government – even to the extent of deciding whether we should have children – that we can't comprehend any alternative.
Dr Whyte, of course, believes the state should get out of our lives, save for a few essential functions. It's an idea worth exploring, but you get the impression that for a lot of people, it's just too scary.
You're dead right with your comment at the end of the piece about Jamie Whyte. Freedom - being responsible for oneself, and bearing the consequences of one's decisions - is far too scary for the average punter, thanks to generations of mollycoddling by Nanny State. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUddc25V5hZbT2dLO6 | Q: equivalent definitions of integrability Is the following equivalent:
1) A function $f\colon\mathbb{R}^n\to (-\infty,\infty]$ is Lebesgue integrable if there exists a sequence of step functions $(g_n)_n$ such that $\|f-g_n\|_1\to\infty$.
2) $\|f\|_1<\infty$ ?
From 1 to 2 I can explain it to myfelf using that $(\int |g_n| dx)_n$ is a cauchy secuence which converges to $\int |f| dx$. However, how does 2=>1work?
A: Use the standard construction of simple functions converging to $f$: $g_n(x)=\frac {i-1} n$ if $ \frac {i-1} n \leq f(x) < \frac i n$ and $|i| \leq n^{2}$, $0$ if $|i| > n^{2}$. Then $\int |g_n-f| \to 0$ and each $g_n$ is simple.

BkiUdUg4ubnhBx1Jqrfx | How Andrew Vanden Heuvel Is Revolutionizing Education from Outside the Classroom
Find out what this Google Glass Explorer and online science teacher thinks about online learning and the future of education.
Jimmy Daly
Jimmy is a writer and editor who publishes a weekly newsletter. You can find him on Twitter.
Andrew Vanden Heuvel, an online instructor based in Michigan, left the classroom three years ago to pursue a career as an online educator after being asked by USA Today to contribute to an article about NASA. That was the start of a journey that led him to the forefront of online learning. Vanden Heuvel now works with the Michigan Virtual School, where he teaches science, astronomy and physics to both K–12 and higher education students. Around the country, technologists, educators and, most importantly, students are taking notice of his work.
Though he isn't comfortable with the term "eduprenuer," his freelance work has earned him a sort of celebrity status in the education world. Since he was selected by Google to become a Glass Explorer (a small, handpicked group of developers), his Explorer Story — a video demonstration of how he plans to use Glass — has racked up more than 400,000 views on YouTube.
Sparking Engagement and Channeling Energy
After getting his Google Glass in April, Vanden Heuvel initiated a video project called STEMbite, a YouTube channel where he posts short educational videos filmed with Glass. The videos are fun, engaging and indicative of his approach to learning. Each video is designed to inspire the viewer to want to learn more, fueling a passion that Vanden Heuvel believes can change more than just education.
"That's what I think is missing from school at all levels: passion. If you were to ask me what the purpose of school is — and this is true of college as well as K–12 — I would say it's to help students find their passion in life. Once they find that, the rest is just details," Vanden Heuvel says.
Based on the extraordinary feedback he's gotten so far, it looks like he's on to something. "I think it's really hit the right chord because it's a different way to approach teaching. So much of what is out there on YouTube and elsewhere is a video of a teacher in front of board. This is a different approach, made possible through Glass."
"STEMbites are different because they are short, but more importantly, because they aren't focused on teaching the content. They're focused on motivating and inspiring students to learn the content. Those are two different things. My goal isn't to teach everything in a STEMbite video…there are already amazing teachers who can do that in a classroom. My goal is to inspire kids to want to learn the lesson because they see the direct connection to everyday life."
Technology Is a Major Disrupter — and Opportunity — in Higher Ed
Because he teaches students of all ages, Vanden Heuvel has a unique perspective on the education landscape. Higher education, he says, is primed for disruption.
Lecture has been an important part of higher education for centuries. That won't be changing anytime soon, but it's low-hanging fruit for online learning. Lectures lend themselves nicely to video, which is a great way to create content for online students. As online education evolves and improves, there will be more and more opportunities for online learning, particularly for STEM students, according to Vanden Heuvel.
"Today, students go to school for four years and they still don't really have the job skills."
"A huge part of a high-quality STEM education is the hands-on lab experience, so it makes you think about what students should be doing when they are in the classroom. It lends itself to an apprenticeship model, where students learn material online and then, as a 19- or 20-year old, enter an apprenticeship with an engineer and learn the job in one year. Today, students go to school for four years and they still don't really have the job skills."
Is it possible that online education could spur a movement to an apprenticeship education model? It might take a while, but technology could be powerful enough to reverse a model that's over 100 years old, says Vanden Heuvel. "I would argue that you could get 90 percent of a STEM education online if you did it right, with video analysis and well-thought-out interactive simulations. But the nut that no one has cracked yet is labs."
Once that happens, college could look very different. In the meantime, online education is far from perfect, as its detractors are quick to point out. Considering his work in the field, it might be surprising that Vanden Heuvel is in agreement with many of those critics.
"I'm very critical of online learning, partially because it's the Wild, Wild West right now. No one really understands it. It's not regulated in any significant way. There are people who are taking advantage of the lax regulations to make a profit off low-cost, low-quality education. That bothers me, but a lot of people write off the entire premise because of a few negative examples. There's tons of really great, innovative stuff happening."

BkiUd804eIXgu5sT-rVv | Transmissions is a full CG, hyper realistic piece that echos the photographic era of the 1970's. Washed out saturation and hints of vintage furniture set the scene for our spaceman on his big day.
A reportage piece with subtle details and textures, Transmissions is full of nostalgia and undertones of loneliness. A commentary on life and journeys made, we've taken the concept of a spaceman and placed him into this surreal yet familiar setting. The suit is a metaphorical and literal barrier between him and his surroundings and we've used the theme of a birthday party as a playful nod to childhood aspirations and adult realisations, something we can all relate to!
We had a blast making this and its a great showcase for what you can achieve with strong themes, a good narrative and hyper realism. All CG, all made in house by our (inter) stellar team. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

It can be argued that no leadership role personifies a nonprofit organization more than its president. Whether upholding academic standards at an educational institution, raising much needed funds for a social services agency, or even dealing with a major crisis such as the effects of a hurricane, the president becomes the focal point of all stakeholders and the public at large. An effective president is often the key driver to a well-funded, thriving, and successful mission.
In The Leadership Imperative Report, the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) outlines key attributes that make an effective president, among them:
Actively engages the board in meeting its roles and responsibilities
Unites the board, faculty and other stakeholders to ensure all resources are meeting current and future challenges
Cultivates a deep understanding of the institution's unique character, his to/)' and values
Resists allowing daily managerial tasks to detract from long-range strategic challenges
While the focus of that report was higher education, the same attributes are critical for all not-for-profits to consider.

COMMON ACCOUNTING CHALLENGES FACED BY NOT-FOR-PROFITS
Not-for-profit (NFP) accounting is a unique and often challenging environment that requires specialized knowledge and experience. While having this knowledge is key to successfully managing the accounting and financial reporting of an NFP, we also recognize that many NFPs rely on outside guidance for some of this knowledge.
NOT-FOR-PROFITS AND CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS - A WINNING COMBINATION
Charitable giving by individuals in the United States decreased by 1.1% in 2018 when compared to 2017, according to research from Giving USA. One cause for this decrease was due to changes to the tax law under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. To compound the decreases in contributions that not-for-profits are facing, corporate giving is trending similarly. Corporate sponsors are increasingly interested in knowing the outcomes that their contributions support and looking for more value-added benefits.
PRACTICAL CYBERSECURITY GUIDANCE FOR NOT-FOR-PROFITS
Books, music, and movies offer factual and fictional stories that capture our imagination, invoke emotion, and move readers to act. The most interesting stories have drama, plot twists, tragedies, ironies, and comedies that reflect on current conditions and paint a vision of better conditions. Not-for-profit organizations, like many other private and governmental organizations, have been digesting a best-selling cybersecurity story fueled by fear, uncertainty, and doubt. If you are one of those board members, consider if the cybersecurity story you are reading or listening to is fact or fiction.
MITIGATING EXCISE TAX LIABILITY – EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS
Section 4960 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 enacted a 21 percent excise tax on excessive employee compensation for tax-exempt organizations.

US Open 2018: Jamie Murray and Bethanie Mattek-Sands reach mixed doubles final
From the section Tennis
http://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/45427864
Jamie Murray and Bethanie Mattek-Sands have reached their first Grand Slam final as a pair
Venue: Flushing Meadows, New York Dates: 27 August-9 September Coverage: Live radio coverage on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text commentaries on the BBC Sport website
Defending champion Jamie Murray reached a third US Open mixed doubles final with a narrow semi-final victory.
The Briton and his American partner Bethanie Mattek-Sands beat American duo Christina McHale and Christian Harrison in a championship tie-break, coming through 6-4 2-6 10-8.
Murray, 32, will now defend the title he won last year with Martina Hingis.
Earlier on Wednesday, Murray and Bruno Soares were knocked out of the men's doubles in the quarter-finals.
The 2016 champions and fourth seeds were shocked by unseeded pair Radu Albot and Malek Jaziri, losing 7-5 6-4.
Murray and Mattek-Sands will play Poland's Alicja Rosolska and Croatia's Nikola Mektic in Saturday's mixed final.
"I'm really excited to win - to lose both matches would have been tough," said Murray.
"But the chance to get into a Grand Slam final again was a big motivation for me and I'm really looking forward to the match."

BkiUduE4eIOjR5O2qs3J | Lude Media: U.S. electoral vote verification results announced, state department Twitter directly pointed to the CCP's threat
Monday, December 21, 2020 by: News Editors
Tags: 2020 elections, CCP, China, conspiracy, Donald Trump, election fraud, elections, Joe Biden, lies, mainstream media, national security, politics, Social media, vote fraud
https://www.hangthecensors.com/483227.html
(Natural News) (Article republished from GNews.org)
The main content of Lude's morning broadcast on December 15, 2020 includes: U.S. electoral vote verification results were announced; the State Department's Tweet directly pointed to the CCP's threat, the Texas Rangers raided SolarWinds in Austin, TX.
1. U.S. electoral vote verification results were announced
On December 14th, the results of the electoral votes were announced. There were 82 votes in seven states that belonged to the two parties at the same time, consequently, they were invalid votes. The media calculated that Biden received 220 + 82 = 302 votes. Seven states voted for both Trump and Biden. That's what the media calls 302 votes. In this way, Trump got 232 + 82 = 314 votes (seven states voted for both Trump and Biden). The media called it 232 votes. On January 6, 2021, Congress will rule that there is a problem with the electoral vote algorithm announced by the media. This is "no zuo no die". Let's wait and see!
Two genus means that the state government and the legislature have different voting objects. The validity of this vote is ultimately determined by Congress. The left media has widely reported that Biden won the US president. Those are completely false reports, it should be subject to the final result;
Winning the presidency is based on public opinion. President Trump has the support of 80 million Americans, and now major interest groups are also turning to him.
2. State Department Twitter directly pointed to the CCP's threat
The U.S. State Department tweeted on December 15:
.@SecPompeo: Americans must know how the CCP is poisoning the well of our higher education for its own ends, and how those actions degrade our freedoms and our national security. pic.twitter.com/5cyV5nMCFX
— Department of State (@StateDept) December 15, 2020
Lude Media commented on this tweet:
The State Department posted this tweet to emphasize that the CCP is extremely poisonous to American higher education and to remind American people to be vigilant.
In the live broadcast a few days ago, Mr. Miles Guo broke the news that the core of the true power of the United States controls the Ivy League school boards. The CCP has long stolen intellectual property rights from American higher education institutions and BGY'ed the scientific and technological talents from overseas universities. These have seriously threatened the fundamental interests of the United States.
This tweet implies that these academic institutions are closely related to U.S. national security. The theory of the origin of the CCP virus and the hydroxychloroquine treatment incident have completely exposed the deep corruption of American academic institutions; moreover, two reports published by Dr. Li-Meng Yan will be verified in the future;
Once the swamp of American education is drained, the truth about the CCP virus will soon be revealed.
3. The Texas Rangers raided SolarWinds headquarter in Austin, Texas
Gateway Pundit reported on December 14: US Marshals and Texas Rangers raided SolarWinds headquarter in Austin, Texas.
The core of the Dominican Voting System in the United States is at this headquarter.
In this operation, the marshals led the Rangers to carry out a raid, and the FBI only cooperated with them, and the operation must have obtained important evidence.
The Lude Media mentioned yesterday that NATO is also evaluating the security of SolarWinds software, and all parties are working intensively.
The rules of the game have been completely changed because the CCP has overstepped the boundary. President Trump has begun to apply the "swamp" rules to the CCP in the past two days.

BkiUeZDxK0wg05VB8bvP | The holidays are over but my house is still covered in new toys, glitter, and random legos. If you've ever unluckily stepped on a loose Lego barefooted, you may think that laying down a minefield of these toy bricks is enough to secure your home from intruders. It really is a well laid plan but perhaps not as efficient as one controlled by a cell phone.
Since you're here you probably already have an idea about what Oplink is. However, for a more formal definition it's safe to say that Oplink is a wireless plug and play platform that you can manipulate through a simple handheld gizmo via a mobile app.
Let's kick things off by looking at the overall cost for the system. Securing your home is important but the last thing you want to do is spend more on automation than your mortgage and living necessities.
I was really impressed by how accessible Oplink security system are. You can purchase it from several online retailers such as Amazon, Microsoft Store, Walmart and Sears. If you are thinking about investing in Oplink, you can choose one of two options to get started: the TripleShield package or the AlarmShield package, both of which are do-it-yourself wireless systems. AlarmShield is a basic sensor-driven package available for $199.99 at most retailers or on sale here for under $150. It is designed to provide real-time alerts and intrusion alarms, but it does not provide surveillance coverage.
The TripleShield package adds two wireless IP cameras for a price of $285.00. It allows for intrusion alarms, multi-location video surveillance and real-time alerts through a cellular or broadband network. Infrared motion detectors, a 16 gigabyte memory stick to record intrusion, two remote control key chains, contact sensors, 3 window decals and two door sensors are included – not too bad if you ask me. With the free mobile app, you can control all facets of your system remotely. Just think of it as the portal into your system.
While some Oplink features are free, they do have premium packages that require a monthly payment. The Premium package attracts a charge of $19.99 per month. You can learn more about the different packages here.
We tested the TripleShield package with dual cameras and sensors. Setup was a breeze and the system worked equally well when tested with the Android and iPhone app. Oplink's system requires a broadband connection and power to work. In total it took about 15 minutes to setup the system as many components were peel and stick. Also we chose to set the cameras on a countertop but you can wall-mount them. All you have to do is plug in the Optical Processing Unit (OPU) into your router, and download the free Oplink app. The app is compatible with iOS, Androids and Windows devices. Once the app is installed on the target device, you can begin placing the sensors in the desired locations. By using the sticky pads to place contact sensors and the mounting kit for the motion detector and panic siren, you'll be done before you know it. If the motion sensors are placed too far away from the OPU they will not be recognized by the system, so try to place it in a central location in your home. Once setup is completed, you can rename all the sensors on your system – an essential step to making alerts more meaningful and helpful.
Likewise, pairing the cameras with the hub and activating them is relatively easy. After you have paired the camera with the hub, you will need to wait a few minutes before you are able to view videos from the app. The hub runs everything wirelessly through the Oplink cloud and frequently communicates with each device on the network. After new devices are added the hub automatically recognizes them as soon as they are plugged in. The Oplink cloud will also provide you with software updates.
Everything is controlled using the Oplink mobile app – from live streaming videos with night vision to checking on the status of your door and window sensors, among other devices on the system. You can use the app to play back videos and view multiple feeds at once in a split screen; add a 16G USB thumb drive and you will have all the storage space you need. Oplink cameras are equipped to record both video and audio, so you can listen in on exactly what is happening.
As mentioned earlier, everything can literally be setup with minutes. On a scale of 1-10 for difficulty, with 1 being the least difficult, I would give TripleShield package a 2. Therefore, with minimal stress even my mom and dad could get the system running in a few minutes.
The most obvious benefit of setting up the TripleShield is that you will be made aware of burglars in your home from any location. Sure, there are many systems out there with the same feature, but the Oplink cameras are truly remarkable. Even if it is midnight and its pitch black in your house, the camera will still see what's happening – and so will you.
The cameras have the ability to detect motion given off by an intruder, which will trigger the siren and send an alert to your phone. You can set up alerts for intrusion, fire, smoke, flooding, unsafe carbon monoxide levels and unsafe low temperature in your home that could cause damage to the plumbing. Oplink does not provide professional monitoring so this won't automatically send the cops running to your door but it gives you just enough time to report the break-in, whether you're at home or chilling at the bar.
Another feature that I admire about Oplink's cameras is that: when the alarm goes off, the cameras on your system record 30 seconds of video automatically 5 seconds before the alarm is triggered and save it to the hard drive. Also, TripleShield can support up to eight cameras scattered throughout your home so you can monitor multiple locations at once from your smartphone using the app.
I've already mentioned some features of the app but it doesn't end there. You can use it to view a timeline of alerts with corresponding videos that show you exactly what caused the alert. You'll even be able to forward these videos to an email by the touch of a button – useful information for the cops or an insurance company. An individual email will be sent for each camera on your system and if you have subscribed to Oplink's premium service your designated contact will also receive an SMS alert.
Aside from the mobile app, you can also use the keychain remote to arm your system. However, while you can arm/disarm the system remotely from the app worldwide you will need to be within range of the main unit to use the keychain to control the system. Another advantage of using the app over the keychain is the fact that an audio announcement is made whenever you change modes; but when using the keychain there is no direct feedback to let you know if the system is armed or not.
I've yet to come across a system that is 100% gold but that does not mean that they are not worth the investment. If you care about aesthetics and you're looking for a system that compliments the design of your home, Oplink may not be for you. The system is not the most attractive but if you are creative you can always design an aesthetically compatible case to cover the sensors and cameras.
I've mentioned before that Oplink does not provide professional monitoring, all packages have to be self-monitored and in some cases this may put you at a disadvantage. A professionally monitored system will offer you extra protection and a peace of mind. Don't expect the same level of support you would receive from a hardwired service provider like FrontPoint.
Overall the system is a good, easy option. You don't have to understand what pieces work with what. All the Oplink pieces work together and they've created multiple options that are truly plug and play. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUd7DxaKgS2KyudPzc | Q: How to exclude tables from sp_msforeachtable I know that sp_msforeachtable allows to perform queries on all tables.
I have 100 tables and I want to perform the same query on 97 tables.
I'm using this query: EXEC sp_MSForEachTable "DELETE FROM ?"
Is it possible to exclude certain tables?
A: sp_MSforeachtable is undocumented procedure, but according by that example: http://avinashkt.blogspot.ru/2008/05/useful-operations-with-spmsforeachtable.html you could provide additional second parameter @whereand to limit list of tables.
The query that this gets appended to is the following.
SELECT '[' + REPLACE(schema_name(syso.schema_id), N']', N']]') + ']'
+ '.'
+ '[' + REPLACE(object_name(o.id), N']', N']]') + ']'
FROM dbo.sysobjects o
JOIN sys.all_objects syso
ON o.id = syso.object_id
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
AND o.category & ltrim(str(CONVERT(INT, 0x0002))) = 0
So example syntax would be
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1 = N'PRINT ''?'' ',
@whereand = 'AND o.id NOT IN (
ISNULL(OBJECT_ID(''[dbo].[T1]''),0),
ISNULL(OBJECT_ID(''[dbo].[T2]''),0)
)'
A: EXEC sp_MSforeachtable 'IF OBJECT_ID(''?'') NOT IN (
ISNULL(OBJECT_ID(''[dbo].[T1]''),0),
ISNULL(OBJECT_ID(''[dbo].[T2]''),0)
)
DELETE FROM ?'
A: Simplest syntax I came across to include or exclude schemas and tables:
exec sp_MSforeachtable 'print ''?''',
@whereand='and Schema_Id=Schema_id(''Value'') and o.Name like ''%Value%'''

Yet another thing to bear in mind is the fact that Christian dating does not mean that you need certainly to stay in a relationship with somebody who there is no need any provided passions with, and on occasion even enter a relationship with someone that you understand is not right or perhaps you. A lot more than 130,000 Christians from through the global world have now been matched on cMatch, and you'll be next.
The Christian faith is fairly a faith that is strong the values offering it are crucial. Anyone who may have tried discovers that finding some body to speak about your daily life with needs lots of the time and sacrifice. Finding real love in the free on the web internet dating sites is merely as hard since it's into the real globe. In the event the fact is that there is a resurrection after death then there can not be reincarnation. The 1 truth remains absolute and unchanged regardless of the direction you appear at it.
3000000 christian that is daily online dating web sites sites india online dating website unlike more photos, as it's a pneumatic clamping online dating sites internet site. To sum up, it will lead to get a much better likelihood of fulfilling a potential partner in life. The few will probably need to dance on this kind of track for the predetermined time frame. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
BkiUbz3xK4sA-9zR_TFw | reelanime is a small collection of anime films I'm catching at the Dendy. Highlights include Ghost in the Shell 2, and Appleseed.
The season pass tickets were annoying to purchase, you had to know which session of each film you intended on seeing.

BkiUbufxK3YB9m3uuHmM | April 9, 2019 ~ Kirstie Ellen
This is honestly one of my favourite posts to do each month. I LOVE sharing with all of you the exciting books that are coming out each month! April has surprised me, however. There are so many books in genres that don't usually end up featured on my monthly releases post!? I'm talking non-fiction – and more than one!! – and general fiction. It's a shock to the system. Does this mean I'm growing up??? (probably not because one non-fiction is about dinosaurs . . . so . . . maybe I'm growing down??)
ANYWAY. As always, this is NOT a complete list of April book releases. This is a list of the books I've discovered on my voyages through Goodreads that I'm excited about. If I've missed any that you're really excited about, let me know in the comments below!! Maybe you've found a hidden gem that I didn't!! Alright. Let's dive in.
Wicked Saints | Emily A. Duncan
RELEASE DATE: 2nd April
This book sounds grungy, dark and glorious. We've got a girl who can speak to the gods and has to save her people . . . but could destroy herself in the process. Then there's a prince in danger and another boy with secrets. And they have to assassin the king to and stop a war. Tick, tick and TICK!
Descendant of the Crane | Joan He
RELEASE DATE: 9th April
Oooh I am excited for this one! We have a princess wanting to shirk her responsibilities to the crown. But then her father is found dead and now she's thrust into power. She believes her father was murdered, however, the rest of the story seems filled with court intrigue and politics. Particularly in relation to the outlawing of magic and the fact that our MC uses a soothsayer to help her solve the mystery. Ahh, this has everything going for it (including a gorgeous cover) and I cannot wait!
The Tiger at Midnight | Swati Teerdhala
RELEASE DATE: 23rd April
In this YA fantasy, we follow a girl who is a legend. She's known as the Viper – an assassin for a rebel group. She's spent her life avenging what she lost in the royal coup. Now? She's taking down a bad General. Then there's a boy, a soldier who's loyal to the crown and abides by the rules. So, OF COURSE, their paths are going to cross! There's going to be a bunch of miscommunication, deceipt and who knows what! This is inspired by Indian history and Hindu mythology which is always amazing. I cannot wait to read this!
The Poppy War | R. F. Kuang
This sounds amazing! I'm so excited for it! It's set in an vast fantasy world where the main character is a war orphan who passes the Empire's tests to be selected to study at the academies. She was a slave but now she's in the most prestigious academy . . . and facing even more challenges. She discovers her ability to use shamanism, an unearthly power; she learns that the gods are still very much so alive; and that mastering her powers could mean more than just surviving school. This is set after two grand scaled wars called The Poppy Wars and the characters are concerned that the third is on the horizon. This book sounds like an awesome and sweeping tale, I hope I get around to reading it!
We Rule the Night | Claire Eliza Bartlett
This honestly sounds so great. It's about a 17-year-old factory worker who is caught using illegal magic. Just that alone sounds like a glorious clash of fantasy and steampunk. I believe there is some sort of war going on and both girls (the other caught for disguising herself as a boy to be on the frontlines) are told they can avoid punishment if they put their magic to use in a special women's military flight unit – becoming involved in deadly missions. However, they don't like each other. So we've now ascended from steampunk/fantasy to a feminist, twisty take on Top Gun. That's basically what I'm expecting – THE EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH.
Seven Blades in Black | Sam Skyes
We cannot deny that the cover for this one looks great at a distance . . . but a little weird up close. NONETHELESS! This is a tale of mages, warring empires and jealous humans. Our female MC (it totally looks like a guy on the cover) is in 'The Scar" – a sort of dead zone between the empires – ready to do some assassinating. But she's betrayed by those close to her and her magic is TORN from her (THIS IS EXCITING) and she now awaits execution. Before she is executed, however, she has one story left to tell. Something to do with that, her name and the blade she carries (I believe) might save her life. But the blurb is so vague – quick! go read it yourselves to see what I mean!
The Time Collector | Gwendolyn Womack
RELEASE DATE: 16th April
Now, I love the premise of this plot and am always keen to read things with similar vibes. It's about a boy who has the ability to touch an object and know about its past. He has a friend with a similar skill who can sense artefacts even if they're buried deep. His friend suddenly disappears one day and it becomes Roan's mission to warn others like his friend (as several people with such a skill have disappeared) in the hope of saving them, and hopefully, find his friend too.
We are Blood and Thunder | Kesia Lupo
This book begins with a woman who's convicted of being a mage, running for her life. The only way to survive? Flee to those who actually have magic, to the people she fears. This book is set in a sealed-off city, so our other narrative comes from a masked lady stuck on the outside who wants in. She has powers and she no longer wants to hide who she is. I think this sounds like an epic fantasy – Falling Kingdom vibes? – and I so want to read it! I can't wait to see how the storylines merge when a magical thunderstorm threatens the city and the two of them need to work together to break the spell.
Upon a Burning Throne | Ashok K. Banker
This awesome release is inspired by an Indian classic, The Mahabharata. It's set in a world where demigods and demons live among the people, in a realm without an emperor, with two princes both set to rule but neither proved their worth yet. They have to pass the Test of Fire by sitting upon the Burning Throne. Like gahdkgajgkladg – doesn't this sound incredible?!!? And the cover?! THE COVER! If the throne deems them unworthy it just incinerates them – WOOSH – just like that. Oh but wait – there's also a girl from an outlying kingdom who has a claim to power, she's denied and boom: a war. This book is packed with EVERYTHING.
Parable of the Sower | Octavia E. Butler
This sounds spectacular. It's been compared to 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale which has me SO excited. Set in the early 2020s in California, it's a post-apocalyptic world with climate change and economic crises causing social chaos. Our MC has hyper-empathy meaning she has a debilitating sensitivity to others' emotions. I think this will be SUCH an interesting read and the premise sounds so similar in atmosphere to The Handmaid's Tale.
A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World | C. A. Fletcher
The title for this one 100% caught me. And then the blurb – OH MY GOD. I implore you to go and read this because HULLO – does this look like a sci-fi? Hell nah it doesn't, but apparently, it is?!! I'm so curious. The MC seems to live on some sort of remote island, and when a thief steals his dog he goes on a crazy journey to hunt them down and bring his dog back. This sounds AWESOME.
I Miss You When I Blink |Mary Laura Philpott
Okay, this one straight up caught my attention. And it's non-fiction – crazy times! But this is basically a memoir done in essays about reaching the point in your life where you've ticked all your life goals and should be happy and content . . . but you're lost instead. I'm so curious to read this, especially being at a point in my life where this feels so topical, always looking forward to a time when everything will be 'sorted'. I would definitely love to read this!
The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs | Stephen Brusatte
OKAY CALL ME NERDY IF YOU LIKE but . . . don't lie, you're excited about a non-fiction book on dinosaurs. The hardback of this is actually already out (it came out last year) but I'm really excited about the paperback's release. Why? Because the hardback is expensive and I'm seriously lame but I really want to read this. I laugh, worriedly, at myself over my obsession with this book. But *shrug* I shan't deny my love of dinosaurs. LET US CELEBRATE WITH A ROAR!
D-Day Girls | Sarah Rose
This is a true story about the women who were recruited by Britain's elite spy agency to sabotage Nazis. I'm basically expecting this to be a true version of Code Name Verity (although, hopefully, less tragic). It's set in 1942 when the Allies were losing and hope was fading fast. There were 39 women recruited to try and turn the tide and they became saboteurs in France. Half were caught and a third died. So, I guess that means this will be even more tragic than Code Name Verity. Oh lord. I can feel my emotions in turmoil already.
Roar | Cecelia Ahern
This is one of those books where I read the description and KNEW I needed to read it. This is a collection of short stories (yeah, I don't know what's happening to me either? A non-fiction AND general fiction section? WHERE ARE THE DRAGONS AT?) about women and how they deal with negative things in their life. Except, Ahern has made this into a fun story filled with hilarious takes on normal situations. I'm talking women exchanging their husbands at the store they originally bought them from, being swallowed (literally) into the ground when embarrassed and so much more. Go check it out!!
Lost Roses | Martha Hall Kelly
This is set in 1914, New York. Our MC is travelling to St Petersburg with a friend who is a cousin of the Romanovs (which is the Russian royalty). But then the war begins. DUN DUN DUNNN. We see the MC fleeing back to America and her friend going into hiding. I'm not quite sure exactly where this story will go but it seems we'll have contrasting America/Russian perspectives about WWI, the Russian Revolution and how people cope with it. I'm down!
When We Left Cuba | Chanel Cleeton
I don't know much about Cuban history, in all honesty. Despite the fact that it's been pretty important. I've certainly never read a book set in Cuba during the '60s so I'm really intrigued about this! It's about a sugar heiress who lost everything in the Cuban Revolution. She's recruited by the CIA to get into Fidel Castro's inner circles – fuelled by her desire for revenge. The Cold War is brewing and our MC is stuck between American and Cuban politics . . . and a forbidden affair.
The Raven's Tale | Cat Winters
I must confess to not being familiar with Edgar Allan Poe so I imagine some parts of this book would be lost on me. This is a historical fiction retelling following 17-year-old Edgar Poe. He's looking forward to the life of a student which is just around the bend for him and wanting to marry his beloved. But then a Muse appears to him and muses are known for turning artists down the wrong paths. Truth be told, I'm not sure going onwards from that point where the book is going but I think this has potential to be SUPER interesting.
The Abolitionist's Daughter | Diane C. McPhail
I'm on the fence a little with this one, but simply because I'm worried it'll be a dense read? This is set during the American Civil War and focuses on characters involved with illegally educating and freeing slaves. I really think its premise sounds interesting and if I stumble across it in a bookstore I would definitely pick it up. I'm hoping I'll learn something new from this one!
White Rose | Kip Wilson
I am about two seconds away from ordering a copy of this. It's set in WWII, Nazi Germany following a female university student who challenged the Nazi regime as a part of The White Rose (non-violent resistance group). I think this will be inspiring, emotional and a worthwhile read. Now, a year after joining the MC and her brother are arrested for treason and interrogated. I believe this is actually a group I've studied before and I think I know the story but I'm really curious read Wilson's take on it!
Wunderland | Jennifer Cody Epstein
Another WWII novel! Yay! This one is set in Germany in two different time periods, following the one family. In 1989, we're in the East Village following Ava and her estranged mother, trying to put the pieces together of their life and what they mean to each other. She ends up with some of her mother's letters when she dies and begins unfurling a dark and mysterious history about her. Meanwhile, in 1933, we following Ava's mother, Ilse, and her bestfriend as their relationship is tested when one is involved in the Hitler Youth and the other not. I've always wanted to read a book that touches on the daily activities of the Hitler Youth (it's so fascinating) so I'm hoping this book will quench that thirst!
The Librarian of Auschwitz | Antonio Iturbe
Now, this is something that is being rereleased this April (maybe in the kindle version?). I think it re-released in Australia a bit earlier in the year and I read a copy of it sent to me for review. IT IS AMAZING. It's about a girl who was in charge of a secret library within Auschwitz, which is simply crazy and daring. It's a fantastic read and a real look into the goings-on in these camps, particularly from a child's perspective.
Boy Swallows Universe | Trent Dalton
I'm not 100% sure about this one but I think it might be an insanely addictive and emotional read. We've got an Australian coming of age story here, following a boy who's not had the best upbringing or familial support. It's been compared to some really big books, too. We're going to see some serious self-growth as our MC, Eli, encounters new and old friends and, of course, a love story. I think it could be a real journey reading this!
The Boy Who Steals Houses | C. G. Drews
SO THIS IS CAIT @ PAPERFURY'S NEW BOOK!!!!!! Which means we all need to go support her and read because a) she is a seriously (seriously, seriously) good writer and b) the reviews that are already coming in are amazing. I'm so excited, waiting for my pre-order to turn up at my door. This follows an MC with autism who's been abandoned by every relative he's ever known. His older brother, Sam, is trying to help them build a new life together and they live in empty houses when the owners are on holidays. It's going to be one heck of an emotional read and I cannot wait!
Summer of a Thousand Pies | Margaret Dilloway
This sounds super quaint and sweet if a little heartbreaking. It's a middle-grade novel, following a young girl who's now living with her aunt after growing up homeless with her dad in San Diego. The book is all about her learning to live a normal life and settling in – but the pie shop that her aunt runs starts to fail and she joins her aunt in a battle to save the business and protecting her first real home.
The Strangers| Margaret Peterson Haddix
This book has an incredibly creepy premise. It's told from the perspectives of three children who live with their mum and seem like a happy family. But reports of three missing children reach them . . . and the first and middle names, descriptions and birthdays match their own. They don't get a chance to question their mum before she takes off on a spontaneous work trip but boy oh boy, this has me so intrigued!
The Stillwater Girls | Minka Kent
I can't decide if I think this one sounds too scary for me (honestly, I'm such a wimp) but it DOES sound good. It's about three girls who live off-grid with the mother, warned against ever entering civilisation and told of its evils. One day, the youngest sister becomes ill and the mother takes her to the nearest town for help. They never return. The two remaining sisters are left abandoned as a harsh winter approaches . . . until one day a stranger turns up and they begin to discover some shocking secrets to why they're hiding. It certainly sounds like an excellent thriller if you ask me!
Into the Jungle | Erica Ferencik
With a cover like that, how could I resist looking into this one? I'm a sucker for a good thriller ESPECIALLY when there's a physical, survival challenge complimenting the psychological. In this one, we find ourselves in Bolivia with our MC having moved there for a job. The job falls through and Lily falls in love. When a turn of events occurs, she follows her man to an extremely isolated village, tackling the threats and challenges of such a place; crazy wildlife and scary people await her there and it becomes a question of whether Lily can survive there. I'M JUST SO READY FOR THIS.
The Ash Family | Molly Dektar
This sounds gloriously creepy. Our MC, Berie, leaves the comforts of her normal live to join and off-the-grid community. She's lured away by a charming man and soon settles into her new life, working the farms and what not. But as she starts to make friends . . . they also start to disappear. I so want to know what's happening in this book! It sounds like such a page-turner.

I have several of those on my 'must-read' list. This month is great for new releases!
It really is! I couldn't believe the number of amazing reads coming out in April 😱
This is a great list! I can't wait to read Cait's newest release, The Boy Who Steals Houses, I really enjoyed her debut and this one sounds amazing! 🙂
Thanks! 😁 me too! I'm so excited for my copy to arrive 😍
Such a great list! Such great bookcovers! An interesting new cover for 'Boy Swallows Universe'. Author Trent Dalton lives here in Brisbane Australia, his story is semi-autobiographical and VERY different.
Thanks! So many of the covers are super gorgeous 😍😍 I love how chaotic and beautiful the cover for that one is – that's really cool!

Parable of the Sower sounds so good! Tempted to order it but still have Butler's 'Kindred' to read. There are far too many book and not enough time!
It does, doesn't it!! I'm so tempted by that one as but lord knows I have far too many books already. Your restraint is inspiring!
Oh my goodness! Why must all the awesome looking books all come out in the same month? I spy many of my most anticipated new releases for 2019 here.
I have Wicked Saints from my library right now, but I can't decide if I'm going to read it now or put it off… There have been lots of mixed reviews 😦
I am dying to read The Descendant of the Crane!
I read The Poppy War and LOVED it! Parts are definitely hard to read, so if you are sensitive to graphic violence, so keep that in mind.
I'm planning on reading The Strangers in October since it has a spooky vibe 🙂
I'm also really excited for When We Left Cuba! Did you read Next Year in Havana? I have a feeling you'd enjoy it.
Also have my eye on A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World, Parable of the Sower, and Lost Roses.
Haha I know right?!! April is such an exciting release month 😍
Oh no that's sad that there's been mixed reviews! Everyone seemed sooo excited to pick up Wicked Saints.
HOW GORGEOUS IS THE DESCENDANT OF THE CRANE'S COVER?! Yaaay I'm so happy to hear you like The Poppy War….maybe I'll go get myself a copy of it ASAP now! I haven't read Next Year in Havana but I do think they sound like the sort of books I'd enjoy. If only my TBR was so enormous 😨
Haha basically, we'll just have to read every book on this list 😜

BkiUdO44eIfiUSg2fdtC | 04.04.2014, at the office of Association of South Western Municipalities, in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, was held the seventh meeting of the project team "Efficient usage of solar energy for better future – SP-Future".
In a scope of the implementation of the project "Efficient usage of solar energy for better future – SP FUTURE" the second training of the cross border teachers' network was held in "Sveti Nikola" hotel, Sandanski, Republic of Bulgaria in the period of 24 - 27 June, where attended teachers of the schools "Sando Masev", Strumica and "Anton Popov", Petrich - members of the teachers' network.
The purpose of the training was developing of Guide for teachers, which will be submitted to the local offices of the Ministry of education. On the training were presented the topics related with teaching about the environment and nature in primary schools. The teachers took part in group sessions that focused on the various section included in the Manual, to which they developed various interpretative models of environmental education. The programme continued with a study-visit at the Nature park "Belasica" as planned, where were presented a few successful projects in a field of energy efficiency and nature interpretation that has been already implemented.
The participants also experienced the nature interpretation while attending the route "The life of the acorn" at the Nature Park "Belasica". The training finished with sessions of further edits of the Manual, summing up the results, discussion and outlining further steps for developing the network. Moderators of the training were: Simana Markovska – environmental education and nature interpretation expert from Bulgaria and Ljupcho Stojanovski – natural science expert form Macedonia. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdtY4uBhjC0FRTdmN | 1. Why nurture? Make sure your organization understands what lead nurturing is and why marketing needs to do it. "Companies do not buy, people do", thus branding, PR, and tradeshows that are highly sought after channels are not responsible alone for the qualified leads sales people are looking for. Since "people" are the ones who buy and make decisions, it is the "relationship" you build through marketing communications after acquiring a lead that counts.
2. Who to nurture? Leads, qualified leads, opportunities, partners or customers? Each group can and should be nurtured but many companies think they only have to nurture leads and even from those only nurture new leads. In order to recover the thousands of dollars spent on leads it is recommended to create various nurture campaigns based on segments. Not all leads are the same, thus they should not all communicate the same message. If segmentation is not yet developed then a couple of exercises such as examining closed won opportunities from the previous year for the basic similarities could be a good starting point.
3. What to communicate? Whatever the offer is (webinars, case studies, ebooks, podcasts, etc.) it needs to have one thing in common, can't describe how it does what it does, its components, what electrical gizmo makes it a jewel for the company, or what technical part got an award. While your company cares about these things, leads couldn't care less. What they want to know is what benefits does it offer to them as an individual, what benefits does it offer to their industry problems, and how it would solve their particular issue. Thus, the content needs to emphasize business needs and the benefits. "Solutions" can be mentioned as the answer to their problem, and what leads are interested in but with little technical description.
4. Clean Database! Why? Because a dirty database's open and click rates most likely will be below the industry standard. Most companies do not realize that when they implement a nurturing program they are sending prospect communications to clients, partners, competitors, their own employees, and other unintended entities. Removing these records and duplicates can increase the open and click rates easily.
5. Implementing Lead Scoring. Most companies who are utilizing a marketing automation system are using a scoring mechanism to evaluate leads. Certain explicit and implicit info are more important than others as they show more interest or are more valuable based on historical information. Review all possible attributes and actions a lead can make and discuss their value with the sales department. In the past most marketers set a threshold score and anything above that score was assigned as a qualified lead to the sales department. Today, marketers are finding that even the best scoring models will not always produce qualified leads. As such, organizations began to assign leads based on certain actions taken by the lead and use the score as a prioritization tool for sales.
While there are many other things to consider, the above stated 5 points will give you a head start in crafting a nurture program. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUcfzxK1yAgXBVEFYZ | It was like you were talking about my life when you were sharing your story! Theres so much I can relate to in there. I defenitly stay quite around strangers and in groups. Im always the one standing off to the side not saying much at all. With my friends its different. I can be pretty crazy around them. why is that?! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this Dean. It's the first time I hear someone describe, almost exactly, my experience. So, apparently, I'm not the only one!
Well… my limiting thought, on a loop, is telling myself I'm a hopeless social-retard and limiting behaviour is giving up by hiding at home and almost never going out anymore.
Wow really liking these videos. So much I never even thought about. I know my deal is I just feel like people don't like me. that they look down on me. How can I get past this?
Excellent advice: thank you. Just got to try and make it work! I agree with the other comments by viewers that what you said about your own issues describes my character, limiting beliefs and behaviours to a T. I don't think I have anything interesting or worth saying. I feel inadequate when standing alongside those who just get in there and shine. I guess that comes across. The only way I've found to combat this before (in small social groups) is by showing interest in the other person – but as you've said elsewhere, that's just one side of keeping a conversation going: I need to put some of myself into that discussion too.
Thanks for this video Dean! I've definitely been doing it the hard way, recently whatever I do socially feels unnatural and I feel like I have to be in the perfect state e.g. after intense exercise when I come across as friendlier, before I can approach them for them to like me, or I became really self conscious about their reactions. I think now my limiting beliefs are i won't have anything useful to say and they'll just brush me off and it'll come across as awkward; i'm in a weird state right now so they'll brush me off whatever i say; they won't want to be my friend anyway once they get to know me.
Very interesting. I will write down my limiting beliefs on paper. Can't wait for the next video! | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

HSN doesn't actually charge you UNTIL the product has been shipped. They all do this… Evine, the Q, Roaman's.
When you place your Order, these companies want to authenticate that your Bank has the funds to cover the purchase. Why? Because you're using your Bank Account to pay, (usually thru a Debit Card), not a Credit Card. Once that's authenticated, the 'seeming' charge is reveresed.
As Kyle said, your Items are being 'prepared for shipment'. When the product actually ships, THAT is when your Bank Account will be charged.

BkiUdczxK4sA-7sDfVDf | Blueprint for Manufacturing Success
Wis. Local Sees Manufacturing Success
Home Print Email
Go to www.ibew.org
Some of the biggest items found on the new IBEW-Made website are the two-story tall transformers made by SPX Transformer Solutions Inc., formerly Waukesha Electric Systems. The transformers, which range from 2.5-2,000 megawatts, are produced by members of Milwaukee Local 2150.
The plant, located 20 miles west of Milwaukee, is one the rare success stories in the post-NAFTA manufacturing era, and it's a blueprint for how unions can play a leading role in winning back high-skilled manufacturing jobs to North America.
"Things continue to head in the right direction," said Local 2150 Business Agent Mike Bruening. The plant, owned by North Carolina-based SPX, was organized more than a decade ago by Local 2150, a tough win that had some questioning whether labor and management could work together to make the company thrive. Negotiating a first contract took more than 18 months of contentious bargaining.
But Local 2150 members helped defy the critics. While other plants have shut their doors and moved overseas, SPX has seen consistent growth and a growing market share in the power industry.
SPX Transformer Solutions owns numerous nonunion plants, but in 2010, it invested $70 million in a 140,000-square-foot expansion of the Waukesha unit. Corporate officials said that the positive relationship they had with Local 2150 was a major factor in selecting the Waukesha site for expansion. The job was completed two years ago.
Originally a unit of 320 members, Local 2150 now represents more than 400 workers at the facility.
Business Manager Michael Follett credits the IBEW's manufacturing success to the Code of Excellence and a new attitude on the part of both employers and employees.
He says that there is a willingness to work together to efficiently produce high quality products the customer expects. The Code is an agreement between managers and the IBEW to increase labor-management cooperation and professionalism in the workplace. Originally developed in the construction branch, it was adopted in manufacturing last year.
What the Code of Excellence means, says Follett, is that both sides have a stake in the company's success.
The transformer market faces strong competition from both nonunion and foreign producers, making maximizing productivity and quality vital to reviving union manufacturing.
Utilities will need Waukesha's larger transformers to transmit power across long distances, which is of particular importance as wind and solar — often generated far from distribution centers — make up a bigger and bigger share of the country's energy portfolio.
Local 2150's Bruening says the new IBEWMade.com website is a great tool to help companies like SPX Transformer Solutions promote their products to a wider audience.
Bruening served on the product identification team that helped create the site.
"Who's a better salesman than the 725,000 members of the IBEW?" he said. "There are plenty of IBEW-represented utilities who should be our customers, and IBEW-Made can help connect us."

BkiUejW6NNjgB1scZtHM | Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Shi'a
:Qurrat-ul-Ain Abidiy
A particular class of people, devoted to Imam Hasan (as) and his illustrious father, having a special identity based on faith, thought, intellect and mystic knowledge. These people consider caliphate as the right of the household of the Holy Prophet (saww) ('Ahle Bait') from the very beginning, and obedience to them as obligatory.
There was no doubt about their asceticism, piety, faith, sincerity, honesty and devotion to 'Ahle Bait' (as); among these were well known and prominent personalities, and the Companions of the Holy Prophet (saww) as well. No doubt, in asceticism, piety and faith, these persons presented an ideal and the Muslims used to seek religious knowledge and learning from them only. But they were small in numbers as a large number from this group had been martyred in the unending wars during the caliphate of Hazrat Ali (as).
However, the remaining prominent personalities among them were still performing their duties honourably in the army of Imam Mujtaba (as) to the best of their ability. They tried their best in inducing people to join the army, but it seems they could not change the thinking of the majority of the people of Koofa, and could not win their support. They remained faithful to the members of the household of the Holy Prophet (saww) even after the martyrdom of Imam Hasan (as) and some of them joined the revolution brought about by Imam Husain (as) and attained martyrdom along with him.

BkiUbxI5qsBB3SqbsE_K | Google stepped away from the Nexus family in 2016 and launched the Pixel smartphones, adopting the line of the previous Chromebook Pixel and Pixel C and presenting a Google-designed premium product.
The Pixel 2 XL is the second-generation large-scale phone, looking to replace one of our favourite 2016 phones. At launch it was an ambitious device – more so than the not-too-dissimilar Pixel 3 models which launched in late 2018 – switching to an 18:9 display and looking to refine the bodywork of the original phones.
But somewhere along this road Google hit a bump with display quality. Here's how, since release, Google has been ironing out the kinks and now, with Android Pie 9.0 loaded, the Pixel 2 XL is a serious phone to consider – if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the more recent third-generation options anyway.
What's new for the Google Pixel 2 XL?
Google has retained a design quirk in the Pixel 2 XL: it's got that split two-finish rear, as we saw on the original model (and as continues in the third-gen line too). It's reduced on this model – which, by the way, is manufactured by LG – leaving only a small section at the rear top that's glass, with the rest of the body metal.
The front is all glass, with the surface curving at the edges to flow into the aluminium bodywork. The fit and finish is great, displaying great quality in all directions and coming in two colours: black or black and white. The black version is a little more stealthy, while the black and white version is adorned with an orange power button. Little details matter and this gives the design a lift, although the general theme here seems to be slightly understated compared to the more showy iPhone X or Samsung Galaxy devices.
This Pixel phone is IP67 rated, giving it the water-proofing which it needs to sit in this flagship position: the original version wasn't and that was the biggest criticism of the phone. The metal work is also coated for a surface that has some grip: this doesn't feel like the metal body of the iPhone, it feels distinctly different.
However, the first thing you might notice about the Pixel 2 XL is that it's a bit larger than it ought to be. It's only slightly smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus, so despite the shift in display aspect – it's 18:9 now, with the aim of giving you a big screen without a big body – the Pixel 2 XL doesn't really achieve that aim. People are expecting smaller phones these days, hence the iPhone XS's existence.
One of the things the Pixel design allows for is front-facing stereo speakers. The performance from those speakers is good, but only good, so they perhaps don't justify the space they're given. They're no match for HTC BoomSound, lacking the richness and volume of HTC's solution.
Other things to note in this Pixel is the 3.5mm headphone socket is absent, so it's USB Type-C for audio (or the dongle in the box to use your old headphones). The fingerprint scanner remains on the rear in a sensible place on the rear, which we found it perfectly fast to unlock the phone. It also offers a swipe shortcut to quickly pull down the notifications area.
The display is worth a few more words than normal. As we've already detailed, the Pixel 2 XL moves to a new display aspect compared to the original, bringing it in line with other modern flagships.
It is, we suspect, the same panel that's used in the LG V30, given that it's referred to as P-OLED (which LG tends to use as Samsung dominates the AMOLED nomenclature) and the exact same size and resolution. But when the Pixel 2 XL initially launched, it looked totally different.
We all expect an OLED display to give nice deep blacks but also vibrancy and pop. But the Pixel 2 XL lacked when it launched, which drew a lot of criticism. Google clarified the position, saying that the Pixel 2 XL has been tuned to look more natural and support a wider colour gamut. In that "natural" state, this display looks pretty flat and lifeless compared to any number of existing devices.
There is a strange dichotomy to this Google display: while things like your Instagram feed won't have the sheen that all other top smartphones offer, the Pixel 2 XL's display works really well in particular conditions. Watching Star Trek Discovery on Netflix, for example, the Pixel 2 XL looked many times better than the LG V30; by contrast, LG's phone looked red in shadows and noisy in lower light scenes, despite LG claiming that it would be showing the HDR version.
A fix for the muted display was released, however, adding a new "saturated" option. While some supported Google's original position of "natural", we found it lacklustre. Fortunately, the release of that additional display option pulls the phone back into the enjoyment zone for us. With that mode engaged, the Pixel 2 XL is more comparable to other flagship phones.
Some people have complained about "burn-in" on early devices, too, although we've not seen this on the second Pixel 2 XL that we have. Others also criticised off-axis colour shift, but this was never as big a deal as the display tuning itself.
With the display behind us, it's easy to say that the Pixel 2 XL is every bit the powerhouse. It was released at the tail-end of 2017 so, yes, some more recent 2018 devices offer more RAM or other smarts that put them a whisker ahead, such as using Snapdragon 845, but the difference is small for most tasks. Importantly the Pixel 2 XL runs fast and smoothly.
We would extend this further and say that Google's pure Android software means that the Pixel 2 XL often runs smoother over long periods than some Samsung devices. That's even better with Android 9 Pie.
It's here that you'll notice a benefit over the older device too: it will handle some more demanding tasks with ease. For example, you won't get asked if you want to turn down the graphical textures in Total War Battles Kingdom, because the phone can handle it.
Google points to the hardware race in smartphones, preferring to say that AI is part of the future for making phones better and that it will be machine learning that enhances experiences, not entirely the core hardware. It depends, of course, whether it's the Google AI experience you want. Where that'll go, well, we'll have to wait and see.
Turning to the battery and the 3520mAh cell in the Pixel 2 XL provides good day-long performance. As with most of these large format devices, it's fairly easy to get through a day with some left in the tank. Fast-charging is in place to bring that battery back into contention, using that USB Type-C on the base.
The Google Pixel 2 XL was the first phone to feature Android 9.0 Pie. This added gesture controls (not on by default when updating), a multi-tasking screen, digital wellbeing features, and more. Watch the video below for a breakdown of the top features.
Pie essentially evolves what was present in Android Oreo 8.0 when the Pixel 2 XL first launched. And that already added great things like the Pixel Launcher, which changed the relationship between the home screen, Google app and search. The search bar at the bottom of the home screen gives you live search results both for your contacts and Google searches, as well as offering up common apps that you use, including slices of content from within apps (such as a commonly messaged friend on WhatsApp) appearing within the apps drawer.
What's most important is that pure Android is slick, fast refinement. Android sticks to its own services in Google Play (music, movies and apps) and supports functions like Cast, leaving a lot of the wider expansion to AI, through Google Assistant.
Google Assistant is perhaps Google's most aggressive foray into other devices and platforms, because you'll have lots of options to control other home devices. That functionality from Google Home flows into Android devices, meaning you can control things like Nest heating or Hue lighting with your voice.
One hardware addition on the Pixel 2 XL is the ability to squeeze the frame to launch Google Assistant, rather than saying "Ok Google", or long pressing the home button. It's a gesture adopted from the HTC U11. Perhaps more useful is the ability to squeeze to silence a call.
The original Pixel was best known for its camera and there's a great deal of consistency in what Google offers in the Pixel 2 too.
Huawei P20 Pro vs Google Pixel 2 XL camera test: Which is best?
It's still a single rear camera setup – not dual or triple like some others out there – and the camera app remains very much as it was before, but does add in some extras. There's now motion photos which look to be the equivalent of Apple's Live Photos that launched a few years ago (we're still not sure it has its place, but you can get some amusing or interesting results nonetheless). There's also a Portrait mode.
The rear camera is 12-megapixels which behaves much as the previous Pixel camera. It's generally very good at taking photos, and we think that the colour balance of those photos is now much easier to confirm following the addition of the display's "saturated mode", whereas the "natural" setting doesn't give a true reflection of what you'll see when you share your pictures.
The front camera gives great selfies, although we've found it's generally warmer in its results than the rear camera. The photo of yourself will be slightly more blushed than the portrait you've just taken of your loved one, but we've found it generally produces better selfies than the iPhone X, which can make you look a little fuller in the face.
This highlights another consideration with the Pixel 2 XL camera: the rear camera can struggle with white balance at times. White balance was something that the Pixel XL struggled with before and it seems it's not quite right here. We particularly noticed this in our camera test against the Huawei P20 Pro.
The Pixel camera is fast to focus and capture shots, but does lean on processing to then improve the photo you've taken. Various techniques are used to ensure that HDR (high dynamic range) looks nicely balanced, with highs and lows realistically presented. This is a phone where you can generally leave HDR on and get the results you want, which is one of its stand-out strengths.
Then there's Portrait mode which essentially identifies the subject and then blurs the background. Software-produced bokeh is the emperor's new clothes in smartphones, trying to create that shallow depth of field effect that a good DSLR will give you. Here it's created by another AI algorithm and it's about as effective as other dual or single camera versions of this technology. However, if you happen to have hair the same colour as the background then there's a chance it will get blurred around the edges. Or, as in the example below, there's a faint halo around the head as it separates foreground from background.
If you really want a great portrait effect, use a real camera, but being able to use it on the front camera can give some great selfies. It's a little strange that you can't use face smoothing and the portrait effect at the same time for total selfie overload though. It also looks like there's a little over-sharpening happening on the front camera's resulting images.
Following launch, Google has added Night Sight via a software update. This mode automatically detects low-light and suggests that you use it, offering a handheld multiple exposure that turns night scenes into almost daylight ones.
Night Sight hammers home just much AI matters, as it's rolling out on all Pixel phones (including the orignal) and uses AI to detect motion in order to decide what type of exposure is neeeded. It might be a longer exposure or lots of short exposures combined (if there's movement) and it will give you low-light photos that are leagues ahead of most competitors. Huawei has a similar system and both easily better the likes of Apple and Samsung.
Also boosting the Pixel's performance is a second core – the Pixel Visual Core. This wasn't really part of the launch line-up, it was kept in reserve to be announced a little later. This core aims to boost photos take in other apps, bringing more camera power to things like Instagram so you get better results when using the native camera in those apps.
Overall the Pixel 2 XL is undoubtedly among the best performing single-lens cameras found on a phone. And that's true over a year after launch thanks to the updates.
The Google Pixel 2 XL brought with it a great deal of excitement at launch, with a sense of ambitious design, embracing the 18:9 display and moving things forward at the time, as well as adding that water-proofing to keep pace with the best out there.
While the design is still good, it's not as adventurous as the Samsung and Huawei devices of this world. The Pixel 2 XL won't quite turn heads for the right reasons. While the shift in display aspect brings some glamour, it hangs onto bezel that it should have perhaps tried to eliminate for more radical looks.
In its initial form, the Pixel 2 XL display didn't look good and that saw this phone stumble. But following software updates, it's now a much more compelling option: by and large this is now the pure Google phone we want it to be, once you've switched it over to "saturated" mode.
The camera has a strength in HDR and although its portrait mode isn't perfect, we've seen some rivals really stumble here. You don't get the excitement of a zoom or wide angle lens, which might put some off at this price, but the addition of Night Sight makes for superb low-light shots.
Overall, the Pixel 2 XL is more attractive many months after its initial launch. The display options make it much more pleasurable to use day-to-day, but now that we're deep into 2018 there are a lot of strong rivals with yet more very strong ones incoming.
First published on 17 October 2017; this review has been updated to reflect software changes and contextual references.
Samsung's 2018 flagship manages to offer more display with more radical design than the Pixel 2 XL. With similar hardware, plus the addition of a microSD card slot for convenience, the Samsung display looks better, while the camera is as good as Google's. It's also a touch cheaper, but won't give you the latest Google software updates quite as soon.
The phone camera to beat, Huawei's take on the flagship space is one of this year's finest. Yes it has a notch, yes it's more expensive, but it's also among the most impressive phones we've seen in 2018. The OLED screen looks great too, with none of the issues some reported with the Pixel 2 XL. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUdtk25V5ha7jY9AS6 | Water can add another dimension, bringing light, sound and movement into a garden. In large gardens ponds and streams work well in an informal more natural setting, with the added benefit of attracting wildlife. While in smaller gardens a rill is an effective, low maintenance way of introducing water.
Garden structures can add instant interest within a garden through height and structure. This could be a summerhouse, offering a sheltered spot in the garden in which to sit, relax and enjoy the view of your garden. Paint these a neutral colour (soft sage green or a cream) to harmonise with the landscape. In smaller gardens a pergola or arch could be included. Pergolas can be entwined with roses, honeysuckle or clematis and painted to compliment or contrast with the planting.
Any sized garden can be enhanced with the addition of a few objects which reflect the personality of the owner, for example; pots, statues, structures and sculptures. When strategically placed these can draw the eye away from unsightly features, such as a wall or neighbouring buildings. They can also be positioned to provide a vista, for example at the end of a pergola.
Any chosen object must be appropriate to the location, and its colour and texture should blend with the rest of the hard landscaping (house, paving, walls etc.).
Gardens are meant to be viewed so seating is an important element of a garden. Seating can entice visitors into the garden or down a path. It can be purely functional or used as a focal point. Seating can also have other practical uses, for example box seating with a hinged lid provides additional storage space. Built-in seating, next to a raised bed, makes an attractive feature and avoids the problem of storing furniture over winter.
Seating could also be used as a centre point to balance a particular area, for example in a formal garden where symmetry is important.
Entertaining is one of the best ways to use and enjoy the garden, no matter how small or large it is. There are numerous options for the flooring; you could opt for natural stone paving, brick, concrete or decking. When selecting the appropriate material choose something complimentary to your home and the other hard landscaping elements.
Shelter is another important consideration, as you will want to be able to use the area come rain or shine. Options here include a pergola, gazebo, shade sails or umbrellas.
Wildlife requires two fundamental things: somewhere safe to breed and shelter and somewhere to forage throughout the year. A lawn, trees and shrubs, flowers and water are key habitats. A water feature with different depths provides areas for birds to bath and drink, and somewhere for amphibians to lay eggs. A thick thorny shrub bed or hedge provides nest sites. Early and late flowering plants provide nectar for insects; fruiting bushes are a good source of food for birds and mammals during autumn and part of the winter. Wildflowers will provide a beautiful splash of colour and attract spring and summer butterflies to your garden.
You may have a tired looking border that needs to be refreshed. This is an opportunity to plan the border so that you have all year round interest. Plants change with the seasons, and different types of plant have their roles to play at different times of the year.
Trees create vertical interest and provide structure above eye level, shrubs provide the framework of the garden, and perennials, annuals and bulbs contribute seasonal colour in the foreground and add interest to the lower layer of the picture. The styling of the planting and its overall shape, colour, and texture should relate to the style, shape, colour and texture of the garden's structure and the interior of any rooms that adjoin the garden.
Having a source of fresh fruit and vegetables makes even a small area in which a few crops can be grown a welcome addition to the garden. You don't have to have a dedicated plot either; you could grow vegetables amongst flowering plants. Many vegetables have decorative qualities, for example red flowered beans, and crinkly leaved lettuce, globe artichokes, courgettes and asparagus. Create vertical height by including attractive climbing frames and trellis, to support peas, beans and other climbing plants.
Even in more modest-sized gardens it is possible to accommodate play equipment without killing the garden aesthetic. You could for example, sink a trampoline into the ground to stop it dominating the view. This would also make it more accessible to smaller children. A shed is a good place to store bulky bikes and other play equipment, or you could screen off an area using trellis. When selecting play equipment, natural materials will always sit more easily outdoors compared to their manmade counterparts. Select wood for permanent features such as swing sets and playhouses.
Children's' play equipment needs to be in the field of vision, but you could always introduce focal points nearby to distract attention.
There are several very good reasons to have lighting in your garden. It can define the route of paths and highlight entrances. It can illuminate beds and borders, trees, pools, fountains, seating and entertaining areas, creating a magical ambience and extending the use of the garden into the night.
When deciding where to place lighting it is important that it does not shine directly into visitors' eyes. Also think about the purpose of the light, what do you want people to see. It is better not to light all areas equally, think about what you need to see first, then second. Use uplighting at the base of a tree aimed to run up the trunk and into the canopy and downlighting on a pergola to highlight the path beneath. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbk05qoTDtofJ9Nz4 | Review: American Hustle (2014)
Dir. David O. Russell
Starring: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner
David O. Russell has had a unique identity from the early stages of his work, whatever amalgamation of styles he has borrowed. From Three Kings, his Iraq War treasure-hunting drama with considerable political undertones, to the performance-strong The Fighter, he has been a well- respected American director in his own right. As such, at this stage in his career, it is difficult to understand why he has regressed to the stature of big-budget amateur imitation - but it is exactly what he has done with American Hustle. The story tells of a New Jersey conman (Bale) who looks to run the biggest con of all on a corrupt mayor (Jeremy Renner). With his partner-in-crime (Adams), a firecracker ex-wife (Lawrence), and some shady individuals involved, it inevitably spirals out of control - sort of.
It is genuinely surprising how poor the result of this 70's cultural-criminal odyssey is, particularly the cringe-worthy performances from otherwise reliably good actors. The script weakens even Adams and Bale, who wonderfully brought to life their respective roles in The Fighter under the same direction. Bradley Cooper is particularly unbelievable as a sad-sack cop who aspires for glory and success, but is generally as dull as dishwater to watch.
For a movie so taken with its own glitzy, fancy-dress production values, it remains terribly unexciting. If one can look past the embarrassing artificiality of the era's hairstyles and costumes, and the obvious choice of signpost rock music, there is still a painfully contrived story-line and dialogue, with characters constantly soliloquizing on their ambitions for success. It must be said (at the risk of sounding spiteful), it's as if Russell had never seen a Scorsese movie, but instead had asked a child to watch one for him and report back the stylistic details.
So obnoxious is its excessive, clumsy mess of chest hair and poly-blend that one wonders if it is Russell's crass attempt at the kind of postmodern nostalgia machine that always draws in large audiences. Regardless, the film occasionally shows brief sparks of hope. In a nightclub scene featuring Robert De Niro, the tension ratchets up, allowing for a powerhouse Adams/Lawrence run-in that reveals both the actors' innate talents and Russell's obvious capacity for good Hollywood storytelling. Unfortunately, that's precisely what's in short supply here. It gains some momentum as the crosses and double-crosses increase, but ultimately not enough to save it from the cinematic doldrums. As a Goodfellas and Boogie Nights obsessive, I should have been primed to love American Hustle, but it is a weak pastiche of the aforementioned films. It isn't even multi-layered enough to cut it as parody.

BkiUdnM25V5hcJY58vu1 | Scotland head coach Andy Robinson expressed relief after the 34-24 World Cup opening win over Romania in Invercargill and vowed his side will improve in the next four days.
Robinson refused to dwell on the unconvincing performance, which delivered a fourth successive win ahead of the second Pool B clash with Georgia at Rugby Park Stadium on Wednesday.
Simon Danielli scored two tries in the final five minutes as Scotland responded from going 24-21 down with 12 minutes remaining.
Asked his thoughts when Romania took the lead, Robinson said he was "looking forward to seeing how we responded" before using an analogy of a Scottish sporting hero who has had to grind out victory on numerous occasions.
Robinson said: "I saw this as very much like Andy Murray playing his tennis matches, when he plays five sets.
"You get put under that pressure in the second round, third round sometimes and it's how you come through it and then the focus is onto the next game.
"That's the key element for us -- we mustn't play Romania when we play Georgia, we've got to play a new side."
Romania sensed an upset -- and a first win over Scotland in 20 years -- with prop Mihaita Lazar touching down after 40 minutes following a rolling maul which was just reward for his team's forward effort.
And The Oaks went in front for the first time in the game after 68 minutes when number eight Daniel Carpo broke off a scrum to score.
Chris Paterson levelled the scores with a 70th-minute penalty, taking his tally to 14 points before victory -- and a bonus point -- was secured when Danielli touched down after 75 and 78 minutes.
Fiji wing Vereniki Goneva scored four tries as the South Sea Islanders opened their World Cup campaign with a 49-25 win over Namibia at Rotorua International Stadium.
Goneva posted his hat-trick before the interval, and then added another touchdown after the break to help secure a comprehensive Pool D success. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdDE4eIZjf-ZSKDj6 | WWII - HMS Medway Queen
Additional detail of HMS Medway Queen's activities in WWII is still coming in and being added to our archive.
A better summary of crew at Dunkirk and soldiers known to have been evacuated by our ship has been prepared and added to the website as a PDF file.
We still have many gaps in the wartime story. If you can help with detail of her career at any stage of the war (or any other time) please get in touch.
History Page
Much of the information in the new document has been gleaned from back numbers of our magazine "Full Ahead" and its predecessor "Medway Queen News". Some has come from recent visitors to the ship or correspondence received and followed up. The document contains the names of those who crewed HMS Medway Queen at the time of Dunkirk but not later in the war.
A notable recent addition to our knowledge was the content of a diary kept by Jack Skinner on board HMS Medway Queen which includes the Dunkirk operation. I am pleased to report that it confirms much of what we thought we knew and adds some detail such as Lt. Cook joining as CO on 20th May 1940. We previously did not have an exact date for that. He also mentions a visit by the King on 14th March and their passage to Portsmouth for repairs after Dunkirk.

BkiUe904uzliDGNVOBcj | BLOOD LEVELS OF TOTAL HOMOCYSTEINE IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES (WITH NO COMPLICATIONS, DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY AND/OR RETINOPATHY) AND IN THEIR NON-DIABETIC RELATIVES
BACKGROUND: Overweight in adolescence predicts adverse health effects in adulthood. We carried out a primary school health program and assessed children's growth and body composition. METHODS: Were screened 869 (448 M, 421 F) primary school children: height, weight, four skinfolds, and four circumferences were measured. A family-reported questionnaire was used to determine family composition, history, and lifestyle. RESULTS: Age was 118 +/- 5 months, BMI 18 +/- 3 kg/m(2). No difference by gender was observed as for BMI or blood pressure. Girls had higher skinfold thickness at the biceps (BCF), triceps (TCF), subscapular (SSF), and suprailiac (SIF) areas (P < 0.001), hip and thigh circumferences (P < 0.01), body fat percentage (P < 0.001). Boys had higher waist circumference (P < 0.01), waist/thigh ratio, and conicity index (P < 0.001). Offspring BMI was correlated with birth weight (P < 0.05), parental BMI and scholarship level (P < 0.001), children blood pressure (P < 0.001), and hours per day spent in television viewing (P < 0.01). Family history for diabetes was associated with higher BMI, SSF, waist circumference (P < 0.05), and upper thigh (P < 0.01). Family history for hypertension was associated with higher SSF/TCF ratio (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Three of 869 children had BMI >30 kg/m(2) (2 boys and 1 girl), 33 had BMI >25 kg/m(2) (17 boys and 16 girls). The percentages of children who could be considered overweight (BMI >/=95(th) percentile of age- and sex-specific NHANES I reference data) were boys, 10.0%, and girls, 9.3%. Anthropometric and anamnestic data on child and family yield more accurate estimates of risk profile: fat distribution seems relevant for metabolic and cardiovascular disorders.

We create a field of knowlegde together here.

We spent some time looking at the landscape we created together. Then there was the pause. What did you do?
Was it nice? And how was it to come back to the space?

BkiUdXQ4eIfiUWUddTPh | El Aleph was built with the spirit of discovery at heart. This 40-metre broad beamed yacht's structure is based upon that of the ancient phinisi ships that carried spices across the islands of Indonesia, though with interiors handcrafted over 200,000 hours by skilled cabinet-makers in Bali, her interiors offer ample comfort and modern technology.
Unusually, El Aleph features a unique "quiet" mode whereby she is able to cruise for extended periods of time using electrical power with engines shut down. What's more, she's one of the only boats in the region offering rebreather dive equipment, making her an exceptional choice for advanced diving aficionados.
El Aleph cruises between Indonesia and Malaysia, with routes including Komodo National Park, Southern Thailand, Langkawi and Burma. Her experienced crew of 12 includes a cruise director, a dive master, and a chef.
El Aleph features 5 air-conditioned ensuite guest cabins and an additional single cabin. The spacious master cabin is situated above deck and leads out onto a private terrace on the bridge deck, while four double ensuite guest cabins are situated below deck. An additional bunk cabin is ideal for extra guides or a child minder.
Beautifully crafted in century-old teak and ironwood, El Aleph's interiors are a sight to behold, Inside, a lounge, library and dining area are decorated in warm wood tones and crisp white fabrics with hints of vibrant colour. Outside, a large open deck features an additional dining and lounge area for relaxing alfresco, while there's ample space to recline on the bowsprit.
Onboard facilities include air-conditioning and complimentary wifi, TV & DVD, while watersports equipment includes sea kayaks, a wakeboard and a bodyboard, snorkelling and dive gear (including nitrox and rebreather), fishing equipment and a tender for land excursions. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfHM5qhDCd8S7ee2B | Do you have a favourite style of bathroom? A dream bathroom maybe?
I love huge baths. A bathroom with a huge bath, a drench shower, a good view and under floor heating would be my dream bathroom.
However, we recently spent some time at Bluestone National Park and our lodge had a wet room as one of the bathrooms. The wet room was a huge hit with the children, they loved being able to just walk straight into the shower and we struggled to get them out.
Have you used a wet room before? Here are a few benefits of having a wet room for a bathroom.
How many times do you say to the children to ease up with their splashing in the bathroom? We have to sometimes because otherwise our little ones could empty the whole bath with their splashing. They fire mini water pistols all over the place and generally have a splashtastic time.
With a wet room, none of this matters because the room is designed to get wet.
If you have a really small bathroom, you might benefit from converting it into a wet room. Without any of the huge units or shower trays you can save on space and make the most of your bathroom.
If you have got space for a bath you can still have one as part of the wet room, and still save space by not having a shower tray.
Wet rooms are a great option for anyone with a mobility difficulty. Lots of older people are switching to having wet rooms to make life a bit easier for them as they age.
They are safer overall as there is nothing to climb in to or out of and you could even wheel a wheelchair straight in if you needed to.
We don't have pets, but one thing people tell me about wet rooms is how good they are if you have pets. Getting a dog into a wet room shower is way easier than a bath.
I don't think we'd ever swap a bath for a fully converted wet room, but I'd absolutely go for a combi option. How about you? | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
