BkiUauvxaL3Suhgbi_He | Stop Gap Funding For Higher Ed Approved
By Associated Press • Apr 22, 2016
Credit Sarah Mueller
Illinois lawmakers have approved a $600 million short-term funding infusion for higher education institutions that have been struggling financially due to not receiving state money during the state budget impasse.
The Senate unanimously approved the deal Friday after House members voted for it 106-2.
Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is expected to sign the bill. He issued a statement through his spokeswoman that praised lawmakers in the Democrat-led chambers for putting ``aside political differences'' to provide emergency assistance for colleges and universities.
Rauner and legislative Democrats have been deadlocked on a spending plan for the fiscal year that began July 1, which has led some state universities to institute layoffs and cutbacks. Chicago State University is on the verge of closing.
Money for the education fix is possible because of a surplus in the state's Education Assistance Fund. The funding proposal also has nearly $170 million in tuition grants for low-income students.

Oh yeah, in case you're wondering, the electric bass is a 6 string MTD custom at 34" scale length – light ash body, burl maple top, maple neck and Honduran rosewood fingerboard. The baby bass is a custom Azola (the neck is shaped to my specs) and has an ebony fingerboard with Thomastik Spirocore strings. Both basses are from early 2007, and no, they're not for sale. Never.

BkiUc8nxK7kjXLSrFH8f | India has called for sanctions against the Jaish-e-Mohammad militant group it says carried out Thursday's suicide attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Delhi asks for the leader of the Pakistan-based group to be listed as a terrorist by the UN.
The attack has killed at least 40 Indian paramilitary police and has been the worst in decades in the region.
Pakistan said it was gravely concerned by the bombing but rejected allegations that it was responsible for it.
The bomber used a vehicle packed with explosives to ram into a convoy of India's security forces.
The attack has been widely condemned around the world, including by the US and the UN Secretary General.
India has tried several times to list Jaish-e-Mohammad leader Maulana Masood Azhar as a "global terrorist" at the UN security council.
But the attempts were repeatedly blocked by China, an ally of Pakistan.
Previous Indian efforts to have him designated a terrorist by the UN have been blocked by China.
India has also demanded his extradition from Pakistan but Islamabad has refused, citing a lack of proof. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfFo5qg5DOdqYBPAH | New paper on compostable diapers published in Waste Management.
In modern societies, disposable diapers constitute a significant percentage of municipal solid wastes. They have been traditionally landfilled or incinerated as only limited recycling processes are being implemented in some parts of Europe. With the implementation of separated collection systems for the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (OFMSWs) and the need to preserve the environment, compostable diapers have appeared in the market to avoid the main environmental impacts associated to non-biodegradable disposable diapers. In this study, a full-scale composting of door-to-door collected OFMSW with a 3% (w/w) of compostable diapers has also been carried out. Previously, lab-scale experiments confirmed that almost 50% of carbon of compostable diapers is emitted as CO2 under aerobic controlled conditions. The results obtained at full-scale demonstrate that both the composting process and the final end product (compost) are not altered by the presence of compostable diapers in crucial aspects such as pathogenic content, stability and elemental composition (including nutrients and heavy metals). The main conclusion of this study is that the collection of the OFMSW with compostable diapers can be a new way to transform this waste into high-quality compost. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 |

NYACK, N.Y. -- HRHCare, a primary and urgent care center with locations in Nyack and Peekskill, offers a unique approach to health care. The medical staff is compassionate and believes everybody has the right to health services, regardless of their ability to pay.
Asma Khan is a family medicine physician and the clinical director of HRHCare Urgent Care in Nyack. Holding both an MBBS and MD degree from the Allama Iqbal Medical College in Lahore, Pakistan, she completed her family medicine internship and is licensed to practice in the State of New York. "I came to this country to help people, and HRHCare gives me the ability to do so," said Khan. "We have a different approach than most health centers. The ability to help anybody who walks in separates us from them."
HRHCare delivers preventative, behavioral and oral health care. The culturally diverse team, most of whom are multi-lingual, provide health care services, regardless of one's ability to pay. HRHCare believes high-quality health care starts with compassion and dignity, and is available when and where you need it. "Our goal and commitment are to help our communities get and stay healthy," said Khan.
Khan, who moved from Pakistan to America when she was 28-years-old, knew she wanted to treat those who were sick or injured. While she could have trained to work as a doctor at one of the many large hospitals in the area, Khan chose HRHCare to help those who don't have access to insurance or have trouble paying. "I treat a wide variety of people who don't have the advantage of medical insurance," said Khan. "I treat many immigrants who have just arrived in this country and haven't had the chance to set up an insurance plan, and others who can't afford the high rates. I believe if people need medical assistance, we are the people to help them."
Since beginning at HRHCare two years ago, Khan says she has treated everything from sprains, strains and allergic reactions to rashes, abdominal pains and concussions. "We have an easy and painless process," said Khan. "If you need to see a doctor and don't know where to go, we may be able to help."
HRHCare is open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, visit their website.

Provincial Legislature Expense Management Resolution
Roland introduced the resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED THAT The documentation, authorization, and oversight of MLA expense claims, MLA constituency office allowances, and supplemental compensation requests for any legislature staff or MLAs will be established within a new department of the independent office of the BC Auditor General
AND Murray Weisenberger MOVED approval. John Hague After some discussion, Carrie McLaren MOVED that the resolution be referred back to the Research and Policy Committee for further refinement. APPROVED
Policy for rescinding
Roland stated the Research & Policy Committee recommends to Provincial Council that the following policy in Consolidated Policies 2012 (11/15/2012) be rescinded:
4.2.1.1. Cities should be required to maintain the same average density within their limits so that when one area's density is increased, another area's density should be proportionally decreased.
After some discussion, Stephen Rees MOVED that policy 4.2.1.1 of the Consolidated Policies 2012 be rescinded. APPROVED
Branding and Communications Resolution
Susan Low introduced the following motion from the floor:
The Green Party of BC has achieved a breakthrough electoral success with the election of an MLA candidate who was backed by a strong, well-funded campaign and a stellar international reputation; and
The Green Party of BC has invested significant efforts and resources to develop a set of policies which are progressive, comprehensive and worthy of popular support; and
Informal feedback to party members indicates that the public does not associate the Green Party of BC with many of our policies and principles, particularly those outside the environmental field, and indeed the public may have inaccurate negative perceptions of the party; and
Lack of public understanding of our policies and principles and negative perceptions of our party may be inhibiting our fundraising, recruitment of members and candidates, and voter support:
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
The Green Party of BC undertake a systematic review of the party's branding and communications involving such Directors at Large or members who can contribute knowledge and skills of branding, market research and communications strategy;
Further, that this review be directed by the Members to include a major "brand" assessment to evaluate the party's brand positioning, and determine the options for enhancing and updating the public's perception and understanding of the Green Party of BC's policies and principles.
Background Notes & Assumptions:
For the purposes of this resolution, "brand" refers to not just the logo, name, website etc. but to the public's perception of the Green Party of BC. For example, how do people respond when you ask them "what do you think about when you hear the words "Green Party of BC"?
Market research should be conducted to determine to what extent the public is accepting or interested in our policy platform, but is deterred by current or past party communications and public relations. A blind survey would be one tool to accomplish this. The goal of this assessment will be to determine how much our brand (in the public's eyes) is hindering us, and also to identify options for enhancing our brand.
The use of market research contractors should be considered by the Committee (this is not part of this resolution) especially if we can find a third party researcher who is willing to work pro bono or support us in some way. Market research is best performed by people who can present themselves as unconnected with the research subject. Any budget allocations for this work would have to pass through Provincial Council on recommendation from the Committee.
The resolution generated considerable discussion and after a friendly amendment by Francoise Raunet the above motion was APPROVED

BkiUfyjxK4sA-7sDhit- | Q: Right-hand sidebar covers the footer on the "ask question" page and markdown help page I have noticed that while asking questions and scrolling to the bottom of the page, the right sidebar containing recent questions covers the footer partially. Also, a part of it goes beyond the browser's boundary. It may not be a big problem but it still doesn't look good.
This also happens on the Markdown help page
A: We think that sidebar is pretty important, and want it to remain visible. The footer, on the other hand, isn't that important, and can always be accessed again with a bit of scrolling up. It's not worth the time to tweak the page so that it's only scrollable until the point of overlap.
A: This should be fixed.
The current answer is:
We think that sidebar is pretty important, and want it to remain visible. The footer, on the other hand, isn't that important, and can always be accessed again with a bit of scrolling up. It's not worth the time to tweak the page so that it's only scrollable until the point of overlap.
I personally don't think it would be hard to code, and would take into account people with smaller screens.
On top of that, when you have scrolled down far enough for it to overlap, you can't see what you are writing in the box. It is definitely pointless then, as it is referencing something off the screen.
This is a 1170x800 window, that is the smallest screen (realistically) you get without it being a mobile. While it isn't overlapping, at that point it is unhelpful and irritating.

BkiUeDDxaL3SuiswgWs- | The T293 Plus Europeans in underway in Sopot!
The Ergo Hestia Techno293 Plus European Championships have started in Sopot, Poland today with 46 competitors from thirteen countries represented at the event.
Today we had four races. First two, then after the wind dropped the race committee decided to wait for better conditions ashore. After a two-hour brake, when competitors had time to eat something warm, the wind picked up again and two and more races were held.
Karolina Lipińska, also from Sopot Sailing Club, was leading in the overall classification until the fourth race when Mak Cheuk Wing from Hong Kong took the lead. Third is Manon Benassem from Spain. Manom is also leading the U19 European fleet ahead of Weronika Marciniak from Poland and Helle Oppedal from Norway. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUcy45i7PA9O6rSppm | Get away from it all and discover some of the very best the Lake District has to offer with a night at the Ennerdale Country House Hotel, and a ride on a vintage railway with a cream tea for two.
Your Grade II listed hotel accommodation is packed with character and set amongst five acres of landscaped gardens and Italian fountains. The stunning Lake District and the best of the West Coast is right on your doorstep, so you're perfectly placed to explore. As part of your experience, you'll receive a £25 dinner allowance each for use in the hotel's Fountain Room Restaurant.
Take a steam-powered 14-mile train ride out on one of the oldest narrow-gauge railways in England. Now over 100 years old, the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway has heaps of history running through its seven miles of surprisingly tiny tracks. Soak in the scenery as you wind along the rivers Esk and Mite. At either end of your journey, you can enjoy a cream tea for two in the Turntable or Fellbites Café.
On arrival at the Ennerdale Country House Hotel, you'll be greeted by a member of staff and shown through to your accommodation. Settled in, you're free to spend your time as you wish. Dinner will be served in the hotel's Fountain Room restaurant, where you'll each be entitled to a £25 allowance.
You can board your train from either Ravenglass or Dalegarth Terminus, where you can collect your tickets at the office. A single journey takes 40 minutes, with a delicious cream tea available at either the Turntable or Fellbites Café.
This experience is available seven days a week from January to November. This experience is not available in December.
Please check timetable for opening hours of scheduled services. Cream Tea can be taken before or after the train journey.
We recommend you book at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure that dates are available. All bookings are subject to availability. Please state café of choice and any dietary requirements on booking.
Your stay will be for one night. Check into the hotel will be after 15.00 and departure by 11.00 the following morning. You should allow between 4 and 5 hours for the steam train trip and cream tea.
Long journey from Wales to Cumbria but it was well worth it. The weather was great, the countryside was stunning. The Ennerdale country house hotel,was cosy, it's grounds beautiful. The place is lovely and warm and food and drink are very nice at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and helpful.
The stream train experience was great, not what I expected, but very enjoyable, and the cream tea that they serve was delicious. The scenery along the stream trains route was stunning.
Ennerdale Country hotel a little tired but very comfortable, excellent staff, and well situated for the Lake District.
Ravenglass railway a delight, especially as the weather was good. The cream tea was enormous!!
Wasn't possible to have the hotel and steam train on the same day as the train doesn't run all the time but made the effort to make two separate journeys. Both halves of the trip were great. The hotel was excellent even though the dinner menu was limited (winter) it was well done and in a superb dining room. As to the train ride: great fun on a bright sunny day and the staff in the station tea room were extremely accommodating and friendly with the cream tea All in all a really enjoyable time.
We really enjoyed our experience! Our room was very comfortable and we had a lovely view of the garden. The staff were very friendly and helpFul. We really enjoyed our meal in the restaurant - we had £50 towards dinner there. We had three courses - the arranchini and duck were both delicious. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert was wonderful too! The next day, there was a good selection for breakfast - cooked to order to. Liked the option to have it in bed aswell! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdDnxK1Thg98UfzfW | I took my first picture at the age of eleven. I needed pictures to complete a 4-H project, so I used my parents' camera, a Kodak Instamatic, to take photos of my pets and of the infant son of a family friend. Because of the expense of my new found hobby, I had to, reluctantly, put the camera aside after my project was completed.
As an adult, I worked a variety of part-time jobs while homeschooling my children. When I'd finished their schooling and everyone was off to college, I returned to my love of animals and spent a year as a dog trainer for a major pet supply store. Our "family" at the time included two beautiful dogs of our own, and these became my students.
A few years later my husband and I decided to take a photography class together. I was able to return to photography. Our four-footed family members made for great pictures and the grandchildren brought a new level of love to photography. It is ironic to me that I returned to taking images of pets and children after all those years! I absolutely love it!
I work in a studio setting using bright white and black backgrounds to bring out the features and personality of each client. My goal is to showcase God's creation and highlight the love, fun, and relationships that a child or pet brings to our lives.
I see these images as portrait moments, literally caught in a flash but lasting a lifetime.
Clients have a variety of finished products to choose from, each designed to highlight the unique characteristics of the child or pet.
Fine Art Prints. Premium printing on professional luster paper with a protective coating and linen texture.
Contemporary Standouts. Premium print on 3/4 " thick lightweight backing with white, bamboo, maple, or stainless steel edges. Pre-drilled and ready to hang.
Contemporary Black Standouts. Premium print mounted on 3/4 " thick lightweight backing with black edges. Pre-drilled and ready to hang.
Canvas Gallery Wraps. Elegant fine art print bonded on museum quality canvas. Mounted on a 1-1/2 " thick frame. The laminate coating protects from scuffs, scratches, cracking & UV light. A sawtooth hanger with bumpers and paper backing are included.
Float Wraps. Premium fine art print wrapped around gatorboard & coated with a protective laminate. The spacer mount allows the image to "float" off the wall.
Metal Prints. Prints on aluminum provide vibrant colors and a stunning display. Your photos are preserved with various mounting options, making this a desirable presentation.
The composite image portrays different "sides" of the subject or subjects. A funny, dramatic or subtle format can be achieved, providing a unique look. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdfHxK1yAgYaM2ryl | It an easy scenario to imagine, indeed all pet parents have been there at some point with their dog.
You have a long evening shift ahead of you, and it only seems fair to first give the dog some exercise to settle him down for the night. However, your idea of a quick run around the park is quickly shattered, as nose down in Beagle sniffing mode, the dog takes off after a scent. It's something you've noticed with Beagles, once they pick up a smell it's as if they go deaf and are only interested in one thing... following their nose.
You call and shout...but to no avail. Not only is the clock ticking and your shift is getting ever closer, but the dog is also heading towards the road. You begin to fear, not so much being late for work, but that the evening may be spent at Doggie ER.
The opposite of the above scenario is the dog that turns on his heel at the first mention of "Rover, come!". This seemingly magical feat of control can be achieved, with regular training and the correct motivation.
Recall is all about training the dog to want to come back because he knows good things (like tasty treats) happen. To do this you can use motivators such as sausages or cheese, along with using dog psychology to get things working for you, rather than against.
Ultimately, a Beagle that comes back when called is going to be a safe Beagle, who is allowed to play off lead because you're confident he'll return to your side. Well worth the effort, for everyone involved!
Teaching recall can start even with a young puppy. As the pup happens to waddle towards you, clap your hands with excitement and say "Come". Indeed, pups have an instinct to stay close to their 'mother hen' so use this, by running away from the pup and shouting for him to "Come". This should trigger him to come bounding after you.
This method involves engaging the Beagle in a game between two people. Each has a supply of tasty treats, and in turn, they call the dog to them and give him a reward. Pretty soon the dog is running to and fro between the people, and you can add the "Come" cue as the dog runs towards you. When you play this enough, the dog associates running towards a person shouting "Come" means a reward, which is an irresistible idea to a Beagle.
You will need a friend to work with you. Both have treats in a handy pouch so that you can reward the Beagle as soon as he gets to you. Stand a short distance apart at first (you can separate more as the dog gets the hang of things). Let the dog into the yard.
Person A makes some interesting noises and shows the dog they have a treat and calls "Come". Most Beagles find the idea of food impossible to turn down, and so he comes trotting over. Give him a big fuss and reward him with the treat.
Now Person B makes some noise, shows the treat and says "Come". Hey presto, the pup goes trotting over for that oh-so-easy-to-earn treat. Remember the big fuss is important - you want the dog to feel special and clever - and give the reward.
Most dogs aren't wilfully disobedient, it's just that they haven't been adequately trained to understand what's required of them. Teaching a basic recall is not hard when you train regularly and make sure always to praise the dog when he does return...no matter how long it took.
When working in a public place or an unfenced space, it's best to keep the Beagle on a longline. This means you have him under control at all times, even if he doesn't want to co-operate. A longline is better than a flexi-lead as the latter teach the dog the bad habit of pulling.
Use the times the dog happens to move towards you as a training opportunity. For example, when on a slack longline the dog happens to turn in your direction, make an excited noise, say his name in a squeaky voice and then "Come". If he takes one or two steps towards you but stops, then you move away from him while slapping your thighs and generally making yourself interesting. When the dog does come to heel, make a big fuss and give him a treat.
As the dog starts to understand what "Come" means, then have him come back from a sitting position. Simply place your Beagle in a sit and have him stay. Then walk a short distance away and call him to you. When he responds, praise and reward him. If he ignores your request, gently tension the long line to give him the idea. However, the return should b a voluntary action so avoid the scenario of hauling him in by the line, unless absolutely necessary.
Continue his training in a variety of highly distractable environments. In order to focus his attention, you may need to use some super-tasty treats, something that is really going to motivate a hungry Beagle to come for that guaranteed reward.
If your Beagle failed to return one time and you got really cross, because he made you late for work, then the dog is likely to have bad memories of what happens when he comes back. This is a common reason for poor recall. As well as knowing how to train a dog to come back, it's also crucial to know what not to do, so that you don't become your own worst enemy to recall.
When you punish a dog for a delayed recall, why would he ever want to come back again? As far as he's concerned returning to your side is a bad thing, so why would he do it? Instead, even if you're really really mad, hide the fact. When he eventually comes back, be happy and excited, exactly as if he'd responded the first time.
Imagine your dog has a good recall, you do everything correctly, and yet of late his return has been getting slower and slower. Think carefully about your routine. It may be you always put the leash on and return straight home. Therefore the dog starts to link recall with the end of his fun. Instead, call him back slightly early (or allow more time) and take him a walk around the block before setting off home, so he doesn't directly link the leash to end of playtime.
When a dog doesn't come back, it's tempting to keep yelling his name, louder and louder. However, he's likely to fall 'deaf' to those shouts and view it as so much noise. Instead, make yourself interesting to the dog. You can do this by running away while flapping your arms in the air and calling his name, or hiding behind a tree and calling him, so that he suddenly realizes he can't see you and decides to track you down.
If you have a really recall resistant dog then it could be the treats just aren't tasty enough. Make them something super-special so that no matter how exciting the scent the Beagle has just picked up, he's guaranteed to be more interested in that cube of cheese or slice of sausage. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |

A'ja Wilson is averaging 17.1 points and 7.4 rebounds while Liz Cambage is averaging 14.9 points and 7.3 rebounds. Kayla McBride is the third double-digit scorer and Dearica Hamby is grabbing 6.7 rebounds. The Las Vegas Aces are shooting 35.4 percent from beyond the arc and 77.6 percent from the free throw line. The Las Vegas Aces are allowing 32.2 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 40.5 rebounds per game. The Las Vegas Aces have lost three of their last five road games.
The New York Liberty look for a fifth straight win to get a game above a .500 record. The New York Liberty are averaging 79.6 points on 42 percent shooting and allowing 82.3 points on 42.3 percent shooting. Tina Charles is averaging 19.2 points and 8.4 rebounds while Kia Nurse is averaging 16.7 points and 2.1 assists. Amanda Zahui B. is the third double-digit scorer and Asia Durr is grabbing 1.5 rebounds. The New York Liberty are shooting 32 percent from beyond the arc and 78.9 percent from the free throw line. The New York Liberty are allowing 33.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35.8 rebounds per game. The New York Liberty have split their last six home games.
The Aces are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference, 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Liberty are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games and 5-11-1 ATS in their last 17 home games. The Aces are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New York and 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The under is 9-4 in Liberty last 13 vs. Western Conference. The over is 5-1 in Aces last 6 overall.
Both of these teams have a double-digit win over the other, but the Las Vegas Aces 35-point win in the last meeting was far more impressive. The New York Liberty are playing their best ball of the season, but I'm not sure how much I trust them even with this recent run, and they're still losing at home by an average of 0.9 points. It's only a matter of time before Vegas gets this going and win it wins, it's usually comfortably. I'll eat the chalk.

BkiUeBXxK7Ehm4qs04mC | You have attended several weddings so far which made you realize that you yourself are not getting any younger; your blessing has to come too. No good or godly marriage proposals have come your way and you have come to a point where you question God and yourself. What is preventing you from getting married like the others? Ladies, I write from experience. I personally had envisaged getting married after college or graduate school then have my first child a year after. Today, I can tell you that dream never got fulfilled. Despite my grumble, I understood that God did well not to let me married when I wanted to because I was not adequately mature, otherwise, my marriage would have been a disaster. So, I'd like to share a few tips on understanding the reasons for delay in marriage and on waiting on the Lord.
Marriage doesn't define your existence even though society looks at it this way. That's why it's important to understand that you are not of the world, you just live in it; your citizenship is in Heaven (Philippians 3:20). God doesn't need you to be married in order to use you for His glory; the Bible gives us great examples of people who have glorified the name of the Lord while being single: Jesus, Paul, Joseph (son of Jacob), and John the Baptist. It's necessary to be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
At times, the Father can delay marriage because you're not ready yet. Maybe if you marry today, you will not submit to your husband completely. Hence, the Lord is using this time of delay to break and mold you into the virtuous woman that He wants you to become so that you can enjoy and not endure your marriage.
Marriage is more than just the wedding ceremony; it's the journey that occurs after that. Take this period of waiting to better yourself. Learn how to cook delicious meals, be hospitable, become a prayerful woman, delight in doing domestic activities, handle money wisely, and etc (Titus 2:4). Remember this: God will not send rain to an unprepared field.
1 Peter 5:6 says "Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time." This verse is the key, ladies you need to humble yourself before the Lord. Not by grumbling or complaining, but surrendering your life to Jesus for real for His glory and honor. Let God fulfill His beautiful plan without you trying to interfere. Humility entitles you to obey the Word of God and be freed from society's opinion about your marital status. As long as God is on your side, that's all that matters. It's true that denying oneself is not easy (i.e. humility), this is the reason why you need the power of the Holy Spirit to do the supernatural in you.
Grow in the knowledge and love for God. Use this time to get to know the Lord more through His Word and fall so in love with Him that the need for marriage won't become such a priority in your life anymore. Be content in all circumstances (1 Thess 5:18; 1 Tim 6:6).
My final tip is to stay away from any TV show, magazine, conversations, movies, and so on that focus on marriage. Why? Because it will just trigger your desire to get married at all costs. You want your mind to be fixed on Christ rather than on things that will distract you.
So this is it ladies, while you may not understand God's plan, you need to release all in His hands and prepare yourselves for marriage without being stressed over it. May the Lord fill you with His Spirit to do His will. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUa3TxK0-nUKDhonRr | No two days are ever the same at Grimsby Magistrates' Court.
You never know what to expect. Some days are really quiet, others are very busy.
It often depends on how many overnight prisoners there are - a few days ago, there were so many of them in custody that scheduled trials were cancelled so that the overnight prisoners could take priority.
Not great for witnesses and defendants in trials who have probably waited months for this day but overnight custody cases are deemed more important.
The one thing that is almost guaranteed is that there will be a lot of waiting around.
The list looks busy but there is hardly anyone in the waiting area at 10am, when the court is due to start.
A sour-faced woman is sitting outside on the grass staring vacantly at her phone.
Two scruffy middle-aged men are lurking near the door, puffing on cigarettes and staring intently at anyone nearby.
Inside the courtroom, it's cabaret time as one of the regular court jesters regales anyone listening with amusing anecdotes, observations and humorous quips.
One of his best lines concerns a well-known court character who apparently likes to make sure he will definitely get paid before offering any legal advice.
He seemingly makes it clear to prospective punters: "No cash, no chit chat. No dough, no show."
The jollity is, sadly, interrupted at 10.25am when there is a knock on the door in the bottom right-hand corner of the courtroom and in walks District Judge Daniel Curtis.
The most thrilling start to the day possible when a serious-looking and solemn-sounding official from North East Lincolnshire Council stands and declares that he will "swear by almighty God" to give truthful evidence.
He wants liability orders for 25 naughty people who have not paid their business rates.
Nobody is in court to make representations. Reminders have been sent, says the earnest council chap.
Not content with that, he wants 1,185 liability orders for people who have not paid their council tax. Nobody has turned up to dispute them.
The orders are all rubber-stamped by the district judge.
It gets even more riveting when a chirpy 42-year-old man strides into court to make a statutory declaration.
He had been convicted by Hull magistrates in his absence on June 19 for failing to give information about a driver and fined £660 with £85 costs and a £66 victims' surcharge.
He blames a tenant who has moved to Spain and he found the court paperwork "in a bag of mail" on September 13 and "discovered all of this".
The conviction is quashed but the matter is reopened and he is fined £50 with £85 costs for not wearing a seatbelt.
He admits: "I just popped it off. I was just driving it into our workplace. I am bang to rights. I got caught."
The district judge leaves court at 10.37am but, in his absence, a council request to drop an application concerning a forthcoming false trade marks trial is sorted out.
There is a standstill after that until 11.13am, with the tedium broken only when a woman's mobile phone goes off unexpectedly and she apologises profusely.
The high-calibre court business continues when a 53-year-old Haxey motorist admits failing to provide a breath specimen and failing to stop after an accident.
He ended up driving on to someone's garden before leaving the scene.
His speech was slurred and he was argumentative and aggressive to police as they tried to handcuff him.
He blames "anxiety and depression" for not giving a breath sample.
"I could not blow correctly," he claims.
"I did actually try on several occasions. I am under the doctor with anxiety at the moment."
He is fined £350 with £250 costs and a £35 victims' surcharge and is banned from driving for 18 months.
Next up at 11.25am is an overnight prisoner from Scunthorpe who admits stealing a £600 laptop from his father.
The 37-year-old man had been staying with his father when he helped himself to the laptop while he was on drugs.
The case is stood down and the man is allowed bail while the prosecutor goes out to try to telephone the father to see if the laptop has been returned.
The district judge goes out of the courtroom at 11.33am and returns at 11.40am.
It later emerges that the man, in a grey hoodie and with tattoos on his neck, is "reconciled" with his father and has returned the laptop.
He is given a one-year conditional discharge with £85 costs and a £20 victims' surcharge.
The district judge tells him it was a "mean offence".
At 11.40am, it's the turn of a 45-year-old Scunthorpe woman who's a familiar face.
She is constantly sighing and puffing and panting as she staggers into court in custody behind the glass of the secure dock.
She is asked for her name and gives it. She is asked: "Your date of birth?" and replies: "Pardon?"
It turns out that she has stolen two Gucci perfume sets, valued at £94, from Boots and three pairs of jeans, valued at £21, from Poundland in Scunthorpe.
Her solicitor, Ian Durant, says that she had not been out of prison long and a man waited for her and demanded money for a debt.
She was "under his watchful eye" during the thefts and was "told in no uncertain terms" to pay her debt.
The district judge tells her: "You have got a dreadful record. You have offended within days of being released from custody."
The woman is given an eight-week suspended prison sentence.
She had previously owed £1,000 in fines but some of that has already been written off.
She leaves the dock puffing and panting as she staggers back to the cells.
The next prisoner to appear from the cells at noon is a Burton-upon-Stather man facing offences involving breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
He gives no indication of his pleas and solicitor Richard Lunn asks for the man to be allowed bail.
The district judge says the application from Mr Lunn is "very helpful, as always" and it is a "very thorough and able and very detailed application for bail on your behalf".
He adds: "He has left no stone unturned."
But the 34-year-old man is remanded in custody. He leaves the dock sobbing.
His parents are in the public gallery and his mother is also sobbing.
At 12.17pm, it's the case of a 21-year-old woman in custody for drink-driving, having no insurance and failing to attend court previously.
She was stopped in Cleethorpes after pulling out in front of a police car.
She has £1,219 in unpaid fines after being fined in her absence previously for having no TV licence and failing to give information about a driver.
The district judge wipes that all off apart from £9. What a great result for her.
But he fines her £250 with £85 costs and a £30 victims' surcharge for the new offences.
He tells her that, as she is a barmaid, she must know from working in the licensed industry the dangers of drinking too much and drink-driving.
Next in court at 12.34pm is a regular troublemaker who admits being drunk and disorderly.
He had locked himself out of his home and wanted the police to help him.
He was found heavily drunk, being disorderly, staggering about and shouting and swearing.
His solicitor, Ernie Lidster, says: "He was worried about his situation."
The man owes £1,129 in unpaid compensation.
The district judge tells him that the police are "not a social service" and that his actions "diverted" them from dealing with members of the public.
The man is given a six-month conditional discharge with a £20 victims' surcharge.
The court adjourns for lunch at 12.45pm.
The afternoon session begins in as scintillating a way as the morning court with another statutory declaration.
This time, a 31-year-old man from Immingham says he found out only on September 19 that he had been fined £200 by Scunthorpe magistrates in 2013 for having no insurance.
He had received a letter through the post from the "historic debt enforcement team".
He insists that he had already traded the car in at the time. The district judge looks at his paperwork and agrees that it seems "compelling evidence".
The original court papers had gone to an old address in South Killingholme.
The conviction is quashed but the man will have to attend a trial at Doncaster Magistrates' Court to prove that he did not commit the original offence.
The district judge says the man will have a good chance of being cleared based on the paperwork.
Just before 2pm, a seasoned court regular appears in custody and admits two theft offences.
The 50-year-old Grimsby man stole two legs of lamb and a bottle of Bourbon from Asda.
Steven Freestone, mitigating, says that the man had been homeless since leaving prison in July.
A tent with all his belongings inside was stolen while he was away from it and he was left with nothing.
"Everything inside it was taken," says Mr Freestone.
The district judge says: "Someone took away your temporary accommodation."
He has £748 in unpaid court fines wiped off but still owes hundreds of pounds in unpaid compensation, which cannot be written off.
It's another thief in court at 2.10pm and he is brought up from the cells.
The 23-year-old Scunthorpe man admits stealing a whole host of items from his mother.
They include clothes, jewellery, a tablet, games console, mobile phones, a gold ring, a gold watch and a gold chain.
Ernie Lidster, mitigating, says that the man got in with the wrong crowd and had been using drugs at the time.
He now has a £300-a-week factory job.
The district judge says that the man has "bitten the hand that feeds".
He is given a one-year conditional discharge and is ordered to pay £750 compensation.
A Grimsby woman who has regularly appeared in court over the years is next in court at 2.23pm.
She is in custody and admits two sneak-in burglaries, an attempted burglary, theft, assault and threatening behaviour.
She dug her nails into a security guard during one confrontation.
Her solicitor, Ernie Lidster, says the 35-year-old unemployed drug addict claims that another person is "controlling her".
He adds: "At present, her life is going nowhere and she is clearly being preyed upon by others.
"She realises she can't go on in and out of prison for the rest of her life."
The woman makes a tearful plea to be given bail, saying: "All my life, I have tried to please people and make them happy.
"Give me one more chance, please."
But she is remanded in custody and is committed to Grimsby Crown Court for sentence for the "very unpleasant" and "pretty despicable" offending.
The district judge tells her: "My public duty does not extend to bailing you."
The court adjourns at 2.50pm and a private matter is dealt with behind the scenes.
At 3.05pm, the next case is a 27-year-old Scunthorpe man who admits assault and criminal damage.
He had grabbed his girlfriend by the throat and told her that it was lucky that he had let her go when he did.
Richard Lunn, mitigating, says that the man "acted in a fit of pique" out of frustration as a reaction to her throwing his clothes on to the driveway.
"The relationship is dead and buried," says Mr Lunn.
The man is given 50 hours' unpaid work, 20 days' rehabilitation, a two-year restraining order and must pay £300 compensation.
Another case is stood down at 3.20pm and the district judge leaves court.
The court resumes at 3.44pm and the case is adjourned for trial until October 21.
He faces matters including breaching a restraining order and sending a malicious communication.
That's the last case and the court finishes at 3.45pm.
A solicitor leaves court saying: "Bye. Missing you." | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUeLc4eIOjRwMTjikv | LOCATION: 159 Mulford Hall, UC Berkeley.
The galaxies of our night sky are as diverse and colorful as any garden—and for the most part, just as tranquil. When we look back at the ancient universe, however, a different picture emerges: a cosmos that buzzes with activity and teems with the fresh growth of stars and black holes. How did these processes that formed our Milky Way begin? Why did they stop? And where did it all come from, anyway?
This talk will explore the tumultuous history of our universe, focusing on its evolution from a (mostly) uniform cloud of plasma to the dizzyingly complex array of stars and galaxies we see today. We'll discuss how the seeds of galaxy formation were planted during the Big Bang, how budding galaxies collect the food for new stars, and how, like a cosmic autumn, this rampant growth transitioned into the fading colors and staid calm of our current galactic epoch.
Leaving horticultural metaphors aside, we'll also discuss topics that have no terrestrial analogy: the mysterious, yet essential, contributions of dark matter and black holes to galaxy evolution. They may not make wormholes (sorry, Interstellar fans), but we'll examine the ways in which astronomers can actually harness the incredible power of black holes to study the most baffling aspects of galaxy growth.
Ryan Trainor is a postdoctoral fellow in astrophysics at the Miller Institute for Basic Research at UC Berkeley. After growing up in the foothills of Lake Tahoe, he went south to complete a BS at UC Irvine and a PhD at Caltech. Having happily returned to northern California, he now splits his time between studies of galaxy growth and more hands-on experiments on vegetable growth with his wife in their backyard garden.

BkiUc6E4uBhhxJVAbB4J | There is a common misconception that to work with a financial planner, you must have hundreds of thousands of dollars or be a couple of years from retirement. The truth is that many young professionals are working with financial planners to get a head start on taking control of their financial future. Financial planners are educating these young professionals to establish good financial habits early, which will make sure they are prepared when transitions arise.
Financial planning is more like a detailed roadmap for your financial situation and future endeavors. It may be a long journey, but taking the necessary turns, and sometimes detours, will help lead to the goals set for you and your family. It is more than the proverbial pie charts, investment returns, and talking about retirement. It is a long-term partnership that involves knowledge, collaboration, attention, and most importantly, trust. Below are five reasons why young professionals should work with a financial planner.
After graduating from college, chances are the main priorities in your life were to get a job, pay the bills, and make sure you do not default on your student loan payments. I had the same experience and felt my whole paycheck was used to slowly chip away at my student loan balances. As you gain experience and grow in your profession, you will realize there is extra income that you can save, or throw all of it at your loan balances, which is usually not the best tactic.
Money does not bring happiness. Using money and strategies to achieve our goals provides happiness. Think of it this way. When you drive a car, usually, you are headed for a certain destination. In financial planning, money is the engine of a car because it propels you through the road map to your destination/goal(s). The car is not the money because money is not going to carry you to the destination, the plan and strategy will take you there. In other words, you must control money, instead of the other way around. Working with a financial planner can help you avoid the mistake of allocating all your extra income toward one objective. Financial planners can help tackle multiple objectives and maximize your ability to reaching those goals for you and your family with a skillful strategy and facilitating the decision-making process.
This roadmap is not a straight shot from graduation to retirement. There are many turns along the way and some are very significant, aka transitions. As you continue through your career, significant events, both personal and professional, will arise and need your attention. Some examples are getting married, having children, buying a home, saving for college, getting a new job, and many more. Sometimes multiple transitions will happen at once and make your head spin.
When transitions occur, some can be scary and intimidating. Financial planners will help navigate clients through transitions by settling nerves, reducing stress, and explaining options by producing a well-established strategy. We become more of a coach to guide you through the process, while at the same time we are like a therapist to help maintain your sanity.
Having options is possibly one of the greatest advantages in life. You can compare multiple products and see which is more beneficial for you and your family, such as why a Roth IRA may be a better fit to a young professional because of their current tax status. Being uninformed can be very costly and repairing them may cause you to delay or eliminate some life goals. Working with a financial planner before transitions occur should be a priority to help saving time, money, and effort.
As a financial planner, we have your best interest in mind for any recommendation we present to you. We help you clearly understand your options, and the implications associated, such as explaining why saving early and often is usually a great opportunity for investment growth because of compound interest. Think of financial planners as the navigation system in the car. We provide the directions and inform you about road blocks before you reach them.
Retirement is usually one of the top goals for individuals. Everyone works hard to make sure their retirement is attainable and not a pipe dream. It may sound like a simple goal to achieve or plan for, under the surface it can become quite complicated when you factor in all those working years and transitions that occur.
Realistically, on the financial roadmap, there may be more than one stop along the way and we must make sure the engine is working properly to make to journey.

2. That which taints or destroys moral purity or health; as, the poison of evil example; the poison of sin.
Poison ash. Bot. (a) A tree of the genus Amyris (Amyris balsamifera) found in the West Indies, from the trunk of which a black liquor distills, supposed to have poisonous qualities. (b) The poison sumac (Rhus venenata). [U. S.]
Poison dogwood Bot., poison sumac.
Poison fang Zool., one of the superior maxillary teeth of some species of serpents, which, besides having the cavity for the pulp, is either perforated or grooved by a longitudinal canal, at the lower end of which the duct of the poison gland terminates. See Illust. under Fang.
Poison gland Biol., a gland, in animals or plants, which secretes an acrid or venomous matter, that is conveyed along an organ capable of inflicting a wound.
Poison hemlock Bot., a poisonous umbelliferous plant (Conium maculatum). See Hemlock.
Poison ivy Bot., a poisonous climbing plant (formerly Rhus Toxicodendron, or Rhus radicans, now classified as Toxicodendron radicans) of North America. It is common as a climbing vine, especially found on tree trunks, or walls, or as a low, spreading vine or as a shrub. As a low vine it grows well in lightly shaded areas, recognizable by growing in clusters of three leaves. Its leaves are trifoliate, rhombic-ovate, and variously notched. Its form varies slightly from location to location, leading to some speculation that it may consist of more than one species. Many people are poisoned by it, though some appear resistant to its effects. Touching the leaves may leave a residue of an oil on the skin, and if not washed off quickly, sensitive areas of skin become reddened and develop multiple small blisters, lasting for several days to several weeks, and causing a persistent itch. The toxic reaction is due to an oil, present in all parts of the plant except the pollen, called urushiol, the active component of which is the compound pentadecylacatechol (according to Charles">http://www.jaxmed.com/articles/Diseases/poison_ivy_dermatitis.htm">Charles H. Booras). See Poison sumac. It is related to poison oak, and is also called mercury.
Poison nut. Bot. (a) Nux vomica. (b) The tree which yields this seed (Strychnos Nuxvomica). It is found on the Malabar and Coromandel coasts.
Poison oak Bot., a dermatitis-producing plant often lumped together with the poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) in common terminology, but more properly distinguished as the more shrubby Toxicodendron quercifolium (syn. Toxicodendron diversilobum), common in California and Oregon. Opinion varies as to whether the poison oak and poison ivy are only variants of a single species. See poison ivy, above.
Poison sac. Zool. Same as Poison gland, above. See Illust. under Fang.
Poison sumac Bot., a poisonous shrub formerly considered to be of the genus Rhus (Rhus venenata), but now classified as Toxicodendron vernix; -- also called poison ash, poison dogwood, and poison elder. It has pinnate leaves on graceful and slender common petioles, and usually grows in swampy places. Both this plant and the poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans, formerly Rhus Toxicodendron) have clusters of smooth greenish white berries, while the red-fruited species of this genus are harmless. The tree (Rhus vernicifera) which yields the celebrated Japan lacquer is almost identical with the poison sumac, and is also very poisonous. The juice of the poison sumac also forms a lacquer similar to that of Japan.
Syn: -- Venom; virus; bane; pest; malignity.
Usage: -- Poison, Venom. Poison usually denotes something received into the system by the mouth, breath, etc. Venom is something discharged from animals and received by means of a wound, as by the bite or sting of serpents, scorpions, etc. Hence, venom specifically implies some malignity of nature or purpose.

BkiUcsU4ubnjorNy3xvy | All airplanes and helicopters which have a type certificate issued by EASA now need to have a noise certificate. On the EASA Web site, you can find information on approved noise levels for all types of airplanes and helicopters which have an EASA TC (http://www.easa.eu.int/ws_prod/c/c_tc_noise.php). Problems in finding the right noise level mainly arise if aircraft have been modified before the establishment of EASA (28 September 2003) and certification of modifications has not been conducted by EASA. In these cases, there is sometimes a shortage of information available to EASA. The basic regulation of EASA (1592/2002) defines basic requirements for environmental protection based on Appendix 16 to the Chicago Convention (ICAO).
The EASA noise certificate is issued on EASA Form 45 by the Icelandic Transport Authority in accordance with section I in Part 21 in regulation no. 205/2007 (1702/2003) Airworthiness and Environmental Certification of Aircraft and Related Products, Parts and Appliances, as well as for the Certification of Design and Production Organisations.
A noise certificate shall be issued for each aircraft when it is registered in the Aircraft Register and receives Icelandic registration marks. These certifications will not be regularly renewed, because they do not need to be renewed unless modifications are made which affect the noise level of the aircraft; those are, for example, changes made to engines, propellers, or maximum weights. Also, a new certificate needs to be issued if the registration marks (TF-) of the aircraft are changed. The noise certificate should always be accessible along with other information which pertains to the aircraft.
The fee for issuing a noise certificate is a fixed price in the tariff of the Icelandic Transport Authority and applies to all aircraft used in commercial aviation as well as aircraft for private use and teaching which fall under these EASA provisions.
In the case of a simple issue where all information is in place, there is a fixed fee of ISK 9.040.-. However, there is an hourly rate if information needs to be requested and/or information or approval from EASA needs to be obtained.
A lost noise certificate can be reissued for a fee.
In the case of new registrations of all aircraft, a filled out application form needs to be submitted.
Noise certificates will be issued for aircraft used in private and instructional flying which have a valid airworthiness certificate. The noise certificates will be sent to the owner or holder along with a payment slip. In cases where sufficient information is not available, the necessary information will be requested.
Aircraft already on the Aircraft Register but which are currently without an airworthiness certificate will be issued a noise certificate concurrently with a new airworthiness certificate, if such a noise certificate has not already been issued. An application for a new airworthiness certificate shall therefore be accompanied by an application for a noise certificate. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 2 |

Sweaty Palms Giving You Sleepless Nights? Recovery from Hyperhidrosis Is Now Possible
Updated at: Aug 01, 2019
Many people suffer from social anxiety due to sweaty palms. However, there is a cure for this syndrome. A recent case was helped and treated at Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru
Other DiseasesWritten by: Vani MalikPublished at: Aug 01, 2019
Sweaty palms, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition that makes it difficult for people to function properly. Many people suffer from social anxiety because of the fear and the stigma that this condition has around it. To save themselves of the embarrassment that someone will notice the excessive sweating, they turn to solutions such as applying talcum powder or extreme deodorant on the sweaty areas of the body.
Such was the case of Mr Raja (name changed), a 20-year-old student who was facing this issue since he was a little child. The patient was not only a full-time student; he also worked part-time in a printing press where he relied entirely on his hands to complete his tasks. Academically, he faced immense trouble writing his exams due to his sweaty palms. Due to this problem, he was unable to grip the pen properly and left behind smudge marks on the paper. Worried about the far-reaching impact that the condition would have on his life, he visited many health centres to find a permanent solution to his problem but to no avail. He finally found relief when doctors suggested him undergoing a Laparoscopic Thoracic sympathectomy.

"I used to find it very difficult to manage the excessive sweating and felt embarrassed when people wanted to shake my hands. Sometimes the sweat would even leave behind marks on the papers that I used to handle during my work hours in the printing press. I was not able to work and thought it would be difficult for me to handle any office jobs in the future. I was scared that my condition would affect my career as well as my personal life and was desperate to find a solution," said Raja.
When Raja visited the doctor for examination, his palms began to sweat profusely within just a matter of a few seconds. Laparoscopic Thoracic sympathectomy is done using a keyhole method whereby surgeons cut the proximal sympathetic ganglion, which indirectly blocks the signals of excessive sweating. Mr Raja was discharged the next day after surgery, and one week later he has been cured of his condition completely. He is relieved to return to a healthy life minus the sweaty palms!

Understanding Hyperhidrosis
"Hyperhidrosis is a relatively common condition – we see about 4-5 cases in a year. Most people do not seek doctor's counsel to treat the condition as they assume it is a by-product of other issues such as stress or anxiety. We still do not have the exact numbers of people suffering from Hyperhidrosis in India because people hesitate to report it. Usually, people try to control the sweating themselves by using talcum powder or 'nerve blocks', but these are only temporary solutions. In Mr Raja's case, we suggested that he undergo a bilateral thoracic sympathectomy which went successfully and has stopped the sweating. There needs to be aware of the treatment options available to treat this condition," said Dr Mahesh Chikkachannappa, Sr. Consultant - General, Laparoscopic & Bariatric Surgery, Aster CMI Hospital who operated on the patient.
While it is reasonable to experience sweating in the palms during stressful situations, the condition becomes a cause for concern when the sweating occurs beyond control. Sometimes excessive sweating could be an indicator of a more serious underlying health condition such as diabetes or thyroid. Doctors recommend seeking medical counsel to treat the problem rather than suffering in silence. A similar procedure can be done for a sweaty foot by doing laparoscopic lumbar sympathectomy.

UK regulator reviews RBS purchase of ABN Amro
Source: Reuters - Mon 17th Aug 2009
Britain's financial regulator has launched a supervisory review of Royal Bank of Scotland's takeover of ABN Amro, the Scottish bank said on Sunday.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) told RBS in April it would carry out the review, the bank said in a note in its half-year results.
"In April 2009 the FSA notified the group that it was commencing a supervisory review of the acquisition of ABN AMROin 2007 and the 2008 capital raising" the note said.
RBS said "the group and its subsidiaries are co-operating fully with this review."
The bank led a European consortium that also included Santander and Fortis to buy Dutch bank ABN AMRO for 70 billion euros in October 2007, outgunning Barclays to land the deal by paying a higher price mostly in cash.
RBS paid about 10 billion pounds for its portion, mainly investment banking business.
The consortium was criticised for not cutting its offer as the financial crisis began before the deal was sealed.
RBS, which became financially stretched by the deal, was forced to surrender a majority stake to the government in return for a 20 billion pound taxpayer-funded bailout last year after it was hit by spiralling losses on risky credit-backedassets.
The Daily Telegraph said the review would look into the "whys and wherefores" of RBS' battle with Barclays and what due diligence was performed.
No further details were available. The FSA would not comment.

BkiUduM4eIOjRy7MQvHo | America's response to punk music was incubated in clubs like New York's CBGBs. From this hotbed of musical dissent came Talking Heads, arguably the greatest of the post-Pistols "alternative" acts from America. Unlike contemporaries The Ramones and Blondie, Talking Heads never posed as punks; theirs was a more sly, subversive challenge to authority. David Byrne's nervous stage presence implied we were all a breakdown away from madness; the rest of the band quietly went about their business exuding the sort of youthful confidence that truly scares the establishment. Their first single, "Love -> Building On Fire," introduced the herky-jerky pop/art sound with which they identified on Talking Heads: 77 and More Songs About Buildings And Food. Under the stewardship of punk patron Brian Eno, the Heads explored world music on the ambitious Fear of Music and Remain In Light. As the '80s dawned, the Heads temporarily split, with David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, and the husband-and-wife team of Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth (as Tom Tom Club) planting the seeds of successful solo careers. The group reunited in 1983 to a surprisingly receptive public, graduating from college sweethearts to cultural icons. From this point on, the Heads channeled their strangest ideas into videos, leaving their music more streamlined and accessible. 1988's Naked did signal a return of sorts to world music, but it would be the Heads' last album together. David Byrne and Tom Tom Club continue to release albums; the trio (minus Byrne) also released one album as the Heads.

BkiUcErxK6wB9mn497RS | Smithing is a skill used to smelt ores (from mining) into bars, and working with the bars and a hammer to create various items of armour, weapons and tools. When you wish to smelt, go to an appropriate location and select the smelt bars option for the bars you wish to make. To smith, equip your hammer and select the smith option. You will be given a choice of metals to work with. Providing you have the correct bars and necessary smithing level, you will be given a list of things to make. Select one of these and you will make that item providing you have the sufficient materials. You will continue to make this item until you select a new item to make, run out of materials, or stop smithing. Below you can find information on smelting, smithing, and where to smelt/smith.
For smelting bars of metal, you need ore. You can get this from Mining. When Smithing the bars, you may also need to do some Woodcutting and get some wood to make tools.
The tools made from this skill can be used to woodcut, mine or even used in Combat.
Using better hammers reduces the Smithing time.
When you have smelted some bars, you can make them into tools. Note that for some tools, you may also need some wood. While working, some of your items may be formed to a higher standard. This is called "Durability". Durability items can break more often than normal items as when they do break, instead of being removed from the inventory, they lose one point of durability.
Please note that each additional player adds 5 seconds per Player as a crowding effect.
The option to add durability to an item is found at all Smithing Locations. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbwg4uzlgp9y5DLZH | Die Familie der Eck von Kelheim hieß ursprünglich Hu(e)ber. Ihre Mitglieder waren "ehrbare Bürger" von Kelheim, die ursprünglich aus Oberndorf bei Bad Abbach stammten. Das erste sicher nachweisbare Familienmitglied war Andre Huber, Klosterrichter von Weltenburg; dieser erscheint erstmals in einem Kaufbrief vom 25. Juli 1434; seine Ernennung zum Richter von Weltenburg wird am 22. November 1445 bestätigt. Seit 1456 führt er den Namen "Eck" ("Andreas Eck den man nennt Huber B(W)eylent Richter zu B(W)elthenburg"), ohne dass man dies sicher erklären könnte (gemutmaßt wird, dass er 1456 ein Gut namens Eck erworben habe). Andre Huber (bzw. später Eck) verstarb 1462 und ist in der Kelheimer Pfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt begraben.
Leonhard der Ältere
Von seinen vier Söhnen, die alle zur "Ehrbarkeit" von Kelheim gehörten, ist Leonhard Huber der wichtigste. Diesem Leonhard wurde 1464 von Herzog Sigismund von Bayern-München das Maut- und Burgamt zu Kelheim für zehn Jahre verpfändet, 1474 wurde er Kastner in Kelheim und 1481 dortiger Pfleger. Damit stand er an der Spitze der Kelheimer Verwaltung. 1486 wurde er Schultheiß der damals unter Bayerischer Oberhoheit stehenden Stadt Regensburg. Das war ein durchaus gefährlicher Posten, da er die Steuern für den Herzog eintreiben und Urteile vollstrecken musste; sein Vorgänger in diesem Amt, Johann Fuchssteiner, war aus Furcht vor Aufstand und Empörung aus Regensburg geflohen. In Regensburg erscheint Leonhard Huber 1492 erstmals mit dem Adelsprädikat "edel und vest".
Kurz nach seiner Amtsübernahme ließ der Rat der Stadt ihn einkerkern. Ein Vorwurf an ihn war, er habe "seinen Namen dreimal verkehrt, und vielleicht auch dreier Siegel gebraucht, und sich anfänglich Huebel, dann Huber und zuletzt Eck genannt". Durch Vermittlung seiner Kelheimer Verwandtschaft kam er nach einigen Wochen wieder frei, musste aber die Stadt verlassen. Einige Jahre später (1496) wurde er von Herzog Albrecht zum Pfleger in der Herrschaft Donaustauf ernannt. 1498 konnte er die Hofmark Naabeck kaufen, mit der ihn Albrecht IV. belehnte und somit zum bayerischen Landsassen machte. Er nannte sich von da ab dauerhaft von Eck. Am 25. September 1501 verstarb er und wurde ebenfalls in der Pfarrkirche von Kelheim begraben. Die Burg Wolfsegg scheint (1514, 1523) an seinen Vetter Sebastian von Eck verliehen worden zu sein, wobei die Umstände dieser Verleihung unbekannt sind.
Leonhard von Eck
Der Sohn Leonhards des Älteren war der berühmte bayerische Rat Leonhard (Lienhart) von Eck, der aus der zweiten Ehe seines Vaters mit Verena Halder stammte. Er hatte noch einen Bruder und zwei Schwestern; die Schwester Afra Eck trat 1486 in das Kloster Geisenfeld ein, später war sie Klosterfrau in Pielenhofen. Die andere Schwester Anna von Eck heiratete den bayerischen Ritter Willwold von Pirching.
Leonhard begann im Alter von neun Jahren das dreijährige Studium der septem artes liberales im Wintersemester 1489/90 in Ingolstadt. 1493 schloss er sein Studium mit dem "magister artium" ab. Nach dem Studium in Ingolstadt wechselte er an die Universität Bologna (1493–1497) und wurde dort "doctor juris", dann wechselte er auf die Universität Siena, wo er am 30. September 1499 den Titel eines "juris utriusque doctor" erwarb. Nach dem Studium trat er zunächst in den Dienst des Markgrafen von Brandenburg-Ansbach. Durch den Landshuter Erbfolgekrieg fielen seine beiden Hofmarken nun in das Herrschaftsgebiet des Herzogtums Pfalz-Neuburg und er wurde auch pfalz-neuburgischer Landsasse. 1508 leistete er dem Pfalzgraf Friedrich (damals Vormund über die noch unmündigen Herzoge Ottheinrich und Philipp) den Lehenseid.
1512 wurde er von Herzog Wilhelm IV. nach München berufen und dort als Rat für ein Jahr angestellt. 1514 wurde er auf Drängen der Landschaft entlassen, da er sich wegen seiner Bemühungen um eine Stärkung der Position des Landesherren unbeliebt gemacht hatte. 1515 wird er wieder als Rat für vier Jahre eingestellt und 1520 wurde er "täglicher Rat zu München" auf Lebenszeit. Er war der wichtigste Berater des bayerischen Herzogs Wilhelm IV. des Standhaften und leitete ab 1518 mehr oder minder die ganze bayerische Politik. Er war allerdings niemals Kanzler, sondern diese Funktion nahmen während seines Lebens Johann Neuhauser (1514–1515), Augustin Lösch (1515–1536) und Johannes Schwa(pp)bach (2. Februar 1536–1558) ein.
Als einflussreiche Person konnte er ein großes Vermögen erwerben, wobei bekannt ist, dass er für Bestechungen aller Art und von allen Seiten eine durchaus offene Hand hatte (damals wurden diese Schmiergelder beschönigend als "Ehrengaben", "Handsalben" oder auch nur als "Verehrungen" bezeichnet). Sein Landesherr scheint nichts gegen solche Zuwendungen gehabt zu haben, da er durch Leonhard von Eck immer darüber unterrichtet wurde und dazu sein Einverständnis gab. Leonhard von Eck gilt als Wegbereiter für die Schaffung von Zentralbehörden und eines modernen Staatsapparats in Bayern. Andererseits ist er ein Widersacher der Habsburger und hat dabei auch nicht davor zurückgeschreckt, mit protestantischen Machthabern Bündnisse gegen den katholischen Kaiser einzugehen. Kaiser Karl V. hat sich deshalb über ihn auf dem Augsburger Reichstag am 9. April 1548 bitter beklagt "so wie auch Christus unter seinen Jüngern den Judas hatte! Ein solcher Verräter befindet sich auch unter euch, es ist der Eck, jener Schurke, der den Judas an Gemeinheit und Schlechtigkeit noch übertrifft … denn für Geld verkauft er Christus, Vaterland, das Reich und die ganze Welt."
Leonhard von Eck gelangte 1520 auch in den Besitz der Herrschaft Randeck an der Altmühl (aus dem ursprünglich reichsunmittelbaren Besitz der Grafen von Abensberg, der von Albrecht IV. nach dem Tod des letzten Abensbergers, Niclas von Abensberg, eingezogen wurde), an die Herrschaften Egersberg und Dachenstein bei Riedenburg als erbliche Pfandschaft. Über seine Gemahlin Felizitas von Freiberg (Witwe des Dietrich von Plieningen auf Eisenhofen) erheiratete er 1520 noch das Schloss Eisenhofen bei Hof in Oberbayern. 1516 verkaufte er Naabeck mit allem Zubehör an die Ehrenreichs. Angeblich erwarb er dann 1533 die Hofmark Wolfsegg, ebenso um die Wolfsegg gelegenen Güter Hohenwarth, Käfersdorf, Kleinduggendorf und Sachsenhofen. 1541 hat Eck dem Jörg von Raidenbuch die Hofmark Holzheim am Forst abgekauft. 1549 überlässt ihm Herzog Wilhelm IV. von Bayern sogar das "Alte herzogliche Schloss" zu Ingolstadt. Leonhard von Eck war somit einer der größten Grundbesitzer in ganz Bayern, insgesamt besaß er 13 Hofmarken sowie unzählige Güter und Lehensrechte.
Leonhard von Eck konnte wegen seiner vielen Verpflichtungen in der Landes- und Reichspolitik (z. B. sein Kampf gegen den Protestantismus, er war dabei der politische Kopf des Schwäbischen Bundes, die Niederhaltung der Bauernaufstände in Bayern, der Kampf gegen den Kaiser und die Habsburger) seinen Wohnsitz nicht auf Wolfsegg nehmen, sondern hielt sich zumeist in München oder in Kelheim auf. Er verstarb am 17. April 1550 in München und wurde wie sein Vater in Kelheim beigesetzt. Der Freisinger Fürstbischof Freiherr Eckher von Kapfing berichtet darüber: "Ist eines erschrockhlich Todts gestorbn. Seine frau war eben selber zeit zu Eisenhouen am dem Vischen, da ist Er in der Nacht von seinem Pöth endtwichn. Und negst bey der Stubenthir ein solh fahl gethon. Wariber seine bediente gar erwacht vnd als Sye nachgesehn, fandn Sye Ihn nebn Begiessung heufigen gebliets ohn leben auf der Erdn." Seinem Sohn hinterließ er ein Vermögen im Wert von 70 000 Gulden, wovon allerdings zwei Drittel Schulden waren.
Oswald von Eck
Der nächste Besitzer von Wolfsegg war der einzige Sohn des Leonhard von Eck, nämlich Oswald von Eck. Dieser wurde 1523 vermutlich auf der Burg Wolfsegg geboren. Er wurde von Johannes Aventinus unterrichtet, studierte 1529 an der Universität Ingolstadt und wurde 1539 sogar dortiger Rektor. 1542 war Oswald von Eck als Student an der Universität in Padua eingeschrieben. Er wurde Untermarschall von Regensburg und Erbmarschall des Hochstiftes Regensburg. 1542–1543 war er Landrichter zu Burglengenfeld. Ihm gehörten neben Wolfsegg die Burg Randeck im Landkreis Kelheim, Brunn sowie die Hofmark Holzheim am Forst. Oswald von Eck war mit Anna von Pienzenau verheiratet und hatte mit ihr vier Kinder.
Oswald von Eck verpfändete bereits 1560 die Hofmark Wolfsegg für 4 000 Gulden an den Regensburger Patrizier Hans III. Thumer, allerdings konnte erst dessen Sohn nach längeren Auseinandersetzungen die Lehensnachfolge in Wolfsegg antreten.
Er trat zum Protestantismus über und nahm unter dem Grafen Joachim von Ortenburg an einer Adelsverschwörung, der sog. "Kelchbewegung", gegen den Landesherrn Herzog Albrecht V. teil. Durch seinen Religionswechsel, seine Opposition zum bayerischen Landesherrn und durch falsches Wirtschaften verlor er den Großteil seines Vermögens. Am 15. August 1564 musste er Urfehde unterzeichnen. In der Folge ging er seiner oberbayerischen Besitzungen und seiner Stellung als bayerischer Landsasse verlustig. 1573 ist er im Alter von 50 Jahren verstorben.

But the death of Nathan Hale was only one of the hard things Washington had to bear in this trying year of 1776. We have seen that when the Americans left the Long Island shore, the British promptly occupied it. On Brooklyn Heights they planted their cannon, commanding New York. So Washington had to withdraw, and he retreated northward to White Plains, stubbornly contesting every inch of ground.
In the fighting of the next two months the Americans lost heavily. Two forts on the Hudson River with three thousand men were captured by the British. The outlook was gloomy enough, and it was well for the Americans that they could not foresee the even more trying events that were to follow.
In order to save himself and his men from the enemy, Washington had to retreat once more, this time across New Jersey toward Philadelphia. With the British army, in every way stronger than his own, close upon him, it was a race for life. Sometimes there was only a burning bridge, which the rear guard of the Americans had set on fire, between the fleeing forces and the pursuing army.
To make things worse, Washington saw his own army becoming smaller every day, because the men whose term of enlistment had expired were leaving to go to their homes. When he reached the Delaware River he had barely three thousand men left.
Here again Washington showed a master-stroke of genius. Having collected boats for seventy miles along the river, he succeeded in getting his army safely across at a place a little above Trenton. As the British had no boats, they had to come to a halt. In their usual easy way, they decided to wait until the river should freeze, when - as they thought - they would cross in triumph and make a speedy capture of Philadelphia.
To most people in England and in America alike, the early downfall of the American cause seemed certain. General Cornwallis was so sure that the war would soon come to an end that he had already packed some of his luggage and sent it to the ship in which he expected to return to England.
But Washington had no thought of giving up the struggle. Others might say: "It's of no use to fight against such heavy odds." General Washington was not that kind of man. He faced the dark outlook with all his courage and energy. Full of faith in the cause for which he was willing to die, he watched eagerly for the opportunity to turn suddenly upon his overconfident enemy and strike a heavy blow.

Addex Therapeutics to Conduct Phase IIa Proof of Concept Study of Dipraglurant in Focal Cervical Dystonia
Company Expects to Initiate Study in Fourth Quarter of 2016
Trial Design Developed in Collaboration with Emory University School of Medicine and with Support from Dystonia Medical Research Foundation
Geneva, Switzerland, 17 October 2016 – Addex Therapeutics (SIX: ADXN) announced today that the Company will conduct a Phase IIa Proof of Concept Study of dipraglurant in focal cervical dystonia (CD). Addex expects to initiate the trial in the fourth quarter of 2016. The study was developed with support from the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation and in collaboration with investigators from the Dystonia Coalition, an international network of experts devoted to advancing research in dystonia. Buz Jinnah, Director of the Dystonia Coalition and Professor of Neurology at Emory University, will serve as the lead investigator.
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Dystonia represents the third most common movement disorder in humans and comprises a large number of clinical syndromes. CD is the most prevalent form of dystonia; recent international prevalence estimates place the number of CD patient in the US between 50,000 and 100,000 - a range which is much higher than previously reported1 and considers the large portion of undiagnosed population2. CD has been demonstrated to have a significant impact on quality of life3. Current treatment options for focal CD include botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections, which generally reduce muscle spasms temporarily for a few months. However, the interval between BoNT injections is usually longer than the duration of action, leaving patients with sub-optimal symptom relief towards the end of the treatment for weeks. In addition, most patients rarely experience any symptom free days.4
Addex's Phase IIa Proof of Concept study will include 18 focal CD patients who are currently sub-optimally treated with BoNT. The single center study will be double-blinded and placebo-controlled. A single dose of dipraglurant will be administered in a crossover design. The TWSTR scale, a well-established clinical rating scale designed to detect drug induced changes, will serve as the primary endpoint of the trial. Key secondary endpoints will include an evaluation of the Cervical Dystonia Impact Profile, a patient-reported outcome for quality of life, pharmacokinetics and safety and tolerability.
"Cervical dystonia is a rare disorder that is not easy for most doctors to treat. BoNT provides partial relief for many patients, but it has its limitations - we need to do better," said Professor Jinnah. "An oral medication would be a great option, and dipraglurant is the first oral agent brought forward for this condition in decades. We are delighted to be able to test it for our patients."
"We are extremely pleased with our ongoing collaboration with Addex and the Company's decision to conduct this trial," said Jan Teller, CSO of Dystonia Medical Research Foundation. "Our foundation identified dipraglurant as the most promising drug candidate for dystonia and places Addex among a few pioneering pharmaceutical companies who are developing new oral treatments for dystonia patients. Our Foundation will continue to support these efforts in any way possible."
"We are excited to be kicking off this Phase IIa POC clinical trail with dipraglurant in focal cervical dystonia," said Tim Dyer, CEO of Addex. "Addex intends to initiate this study in the fourth quarter of 2016, and anticipates the availability of data in the second half of 2017. We are pleased to have Professor Jinnah, a world-renowned neurologist, serving as lead investigator for our study, and are grateful for the continued support from the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation."
Dipraglurant has demonstrated positive anti-dystonic effects in multiple animal models of dystonia (behavioral and genetic, spontaneous and induced), as well as a positive anti-dystonia effect in Parkinson's patients. Preclinical proof of concept has been established in multiple models of dystonia and preliminary clinical evidence of efficacy in levodopa induced dystonia has previously been observed.
"Dipraglurant has demonstrated robust efficacy in a Phase II study in patients suffering from levodopa-induced dyskinesia associated with Parkinson's disease which included patients suffering from dystonia," said Sonia Poli, CSO of Addex. "This clinical data in Parkinson's disease patients and preclinical data in multiple models of dystonia is highly supportive of studying dipraglurant in focal cervical dystonia."
Dystonia is a neurological disorder characterized by persistent or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal, often repetitive, movements, postures, or both. The movements are usually patterned and twisting, and may resemble a tremor. Symptoms originate from an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain. There are multiple forms of dystonia, and up to 100 diseases and conditions include dystonia as a prominent symptom. Dystonia may affect a single body area or be generalized throughout multiple muscle groups. Dystonia affects men, women, and children of all ages and backgrounds. Estimates suggest that no fewer than 300,000 people are affected in the United States and Canada alone. Early onset isolated dystonia is rare and frequently has a genetic basis (e.g. DYT1) and can progress to affect several parts of the body. Dystonia causes varying degrees of disability and pain, from mild to severe.
About Dipraglurant
Dipraglurant is an oral, small molecule allosteric modulator that inhibits selectively the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5), a Class C G¬-Protein Coupled Receptor, with potential to be used in combination with levodopa or dopamine agonists or as a standalone treatment for Parkinson's disease levodopa ¬induced dyskinesia (PD¬LID), motor and non¬motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. In a double-¬blind, placebo-¬controlled, US and European Phase II study in PD¬LID, data showed that dipraglurant met the primary objective of the study by exhibiting a good safety and tolerability profile. Dipraglurant also demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in LID severity with both 50 and 100 mg doses. Dipraglurant reduced dystonia severity in addition to chorea, the two major LID components. Efficacy was measured using the modified Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale and patient diaries documenting "off¬-time" (impaired voluntary movement), "on-¬time" (with or without dyskinesia) and sleep. Additional endpoints include the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, the Clinical and Patient Global Impression of Changes scales, and an evaluation of the patient's mood using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The trial was supported by a grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
About Addex Therapeutics
Addex Therapeutics (www.addextherapeutics.com) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel, orally available, small molecule allosteric modulators for neurological disorders. Allosteric modulators are an emerging class of small molecule drugs which have the potential to be more specific and confer significant therapeutic advantages over conventional "orthosteric" small molecule or biological drugs. Addex's allosteric modulator drug discovery platform targets receptors and other proteins that are recognized as essential for therapeutic intervention – the Addex pipeline was generated from this pioneering allosteric modulator drug discovery platform. Addex's lead drug candidate, dipraglurant (mGluR5 negative allosteric modulator or NAM) has successfully completed a phase IIa POC in Parkinson's disease levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), and is being prepared to enter phase III for PD-LID with support from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF). In parallel, dipraglurant's therapeutic use in dystonia is being investigated with support from the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF). Addex's second clinical program, ADX71149 (mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator or PAM) is being developed in collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc for epilepsy. In addition, ADX71441 (GABAB receptor PAM) has received regulatory approval to start phase I and is being investigated for its therapeutic use in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 1A disease (CMT1A), cocaine and alcohol use disorder and nicotine dependence. Discovery programs include mGluR4PAM for neurodegenerative diseases, mGluR7NAM for psychosomatic disorders and TrkBPAM for neurodegenerative disorders which are being advanced in collaboration with the Universities of Lausanne and Geneva under the Swiss CTI grant program; and mGluR3PAM which is being advanced in collaboration with Pierre Fabre Pharmaceuticals.

ROBIN NAGLE
Robin Nagle is clinical professor of environmental studies and anthropology in Liberal Studies. She is also founder and director of Arts & Science in Action, a new engaged-learning program in the College of Arts & Science.
After earning her PhD in anthropology at Columbia, Nagle came to NYU as Assistant Dean for Student Affairs in the Graduate School of Arts and Science. She then served as director of the Draper Interdisciplinary Master's Program in GSAS before moving to Liberal Studies and CAS last year.
Nagle's early research considered the role of politics in religion, with particular focus on conflicts within Brazilian Roman Catholicism. Claiming the Virgin: The Broken Promise of Liberation Theology in Brazil (Routledge 1997) is her account of the violent clashes and political strife that tore apart a community on the outskirts of Recife, a city of three million on the northeast coast of Brazil. The stakes in the conflict were higher than they might otherwise have been because the community also happened to be a famous regional pilgrimage site dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
More recently, Nagle's work investigates labors, infrastructures, bureaucracies, and histories of waste in urban contexts. Her book Picking Up (FSG 2014) is an ethnography of the New York City Department of Sanitation. As part of her research, Nagle was hired as a municipal sanitation worker; she learned first-hand what it takes to load out garbage trucks, plow snow, operate a mechanical street sweeper – and wear a uniform that invites scorn far more than praise. She is co-founder of the Discard Studies website, has launched an oral history project with the DSNY, and since 2006 has been Sanitation's anthropologist-in-residence.
j. SIGURU WAHUTU

BkiUfvHxK7kjXLSrH3W1 | Forex signal is an exact indication of the price of buy/sell on currency pair and the recommendation on opening of an order - Stop-Loss and Take-Profit in the Forex market. Usually signals of trading systems are sent in real time.
The signals given by trader's trading system on enter/exit. That signals are only for internal use.
The signals given by skilled Forex traders to all interested people. In such signals it is precisely shown, what the addressee of the signal should do at the moment.
We'll have more detailed talk about the second type of Forex signals. Nowadays there are a lot of people, who wish to earn in the Forex market, but the few of them have really working trading systems. In fact, a person needs a lot of time and a huge volume of specific knowledge for creating a Forex trading strategy. Therefore experienced traders sell their trading signals for people, who want to get profit at Forex market, but cannot spend a lot of time for developing the professional strategy. So, there is a number of services, which help traders to give and sell their signals for interested persons.
Let's see, what a trading signal looks like. Forex signals are usually sent by e-mail and sometimes by the means of SMS. At first you see the type of the signal, for example it can be «opening of a new position on a current market price» or «creation of the pending order». Then comes the signal's ID, which helps to get more detailed information about that particular signal. The currency pair of the trade is shown too. After that the action (buy/sell) is usually displayed. Then you see the number of lots, the price of opening and closing the position, limit (take-profit) and stop-loss. Sometimes the trader can put some special details of the signal below its description. That gives full information about the signal's parameters and possible results of its execution. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUfdQ5qhDCRcuNKoyX | The Important Function of Metal Stamping Dies
Home > The Important Function of Metal Stamping Dies
In this technologically evolving world, there is always something new to look forward to and we are used to look for something new and interesting. The industries that are in the forefront of innovation still rely on precision metal stamping companies to design, develop, and ship them with the needed structure to add more hardware and software to it. But what is that one thing which is most important for a metal stamping company? Well, it is the metal stamping dies. The sheet metal stamping dies are a heart and soul of a company to function smoothly and in most cases, there is a dedicated team to handle this area.

5.1 Eigen: Metal stamping dies with a difference
The role metal stamping dies play?
Metal stamping dies are heart and soul of manufacturing industries. These are crucial and efficient in cutting and shaping the metal in given shape. Dies are designed and customized to the item being stamped. These are used for stamping as simple as clips to the most complex pieces that used in the advanced technology. As a result, the manufacturing industries make use of metal stamping dies in maximum production needs in order to get efficient and cost effective results.
EXPLORE OUR METAL STAMPING SERVICES
How do the dies actually work?
The basic operation of dies are blanking, drawing, shearing, and bending. The precision die and stamping or a tool has specifically designed metal cavity on which the metal sheet is placed and this gives a preferred shape and design to the sheet. In this setting, upper part of the sheet metal stamping dies are connected to the press slide, and the lower part is connected to the press bed. Punch is one specific component that pushes the metal sheet through the die and in this way it performs the actual shaping function. On the dies, the pattern can be used to give a three dimensional lettering or embossing the name of final product as well. In this way, the metal stamping dies become heart and soul of metal stamping machines.
The variables in metal stamping dies
There are more than one ways of placing the sheet metal stamping dies in a machine and it mostly depends upon the client's requirements. For example, the dies can be placed alone or there can be series of dies that are placed on the press line. The input variables for metal stamping dies largely depend upon the press parallelism, the tonnage, nitrogen pressure in dies, shut height, press speed, the counterbalance pressure and so on. These variables have strong impact on the overall quality of stamping panel and this happens particularly during the die setup. Just by replacing one set of dies with another, the same presses can be reused based on the need.
Wide range of availability
There are various designs and types of dies commonly used for precision metal stamping. There are multiple station dies, single station dies, progressive dies, compound dies, tandem press lines, and so on that are widely used in stamping field. However, the companies working in this area decides on what is best for a particular project. The engineering team analyses the project, does brain storming sessions on what is available and how the project can be handled best and then designs new dies or uses existing dies.
What makes a good die maker?
The die makers need to be efficient in what they are doing and have years of experience backing them up. Professionals working in this field should have good understanding about the industry and the machines used for this purpose. Some of the machines used in this industry are lathes, milling, hand tools, grinder, and so on. It is not just about knowing a certain machine, but they need to know exactly how the different crucial functions work in these machines.
A precise calculation and mathematics need to be clear as well to become a good die maker. It is all about precision, efficient tools, and an ability to think beyond the box and be creative. At the end of a project, the clients value good work, efficient production, cost-effective solution, less scrap material, and on time delivery. So these are also some of the aspects they can't overlook.
Eigen: Metal stamping dies with a difference
When it comes to sheet metal stamping dies, what makes Eigen different? Well, to say the least, Eigen has years of experience in designing, producing and delivering metal stamping parts to several industries such as automotive, electronics, electrical, aerospace, industrial engineering, and so on.
Eigen has their own die making tool room in-house. This makes the die making process efficient and any problems in the initial stages can be easily rectified and appropriate solutions can be implemented. The latest technology with AutoCAD inventor, 3D quick press, UG NX 9, Solidworks, and so on are used for providing the best results for various industries. Precise designing of the metal stamping dies results in efficient production as well. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdlLxK7Ehm2ZQ0wyr | Q: Add Spellcheck Dictionary to Abiword 3.0 I am working on Lubuntu 14.04 with Abiword 3.0.0 and with the pre-installed version only the spell-check for English came along. I can switch to other languages within the program, but then the spell-checking isn't working.
I checked different forums, but didn't find a straightforward solution. I downloaded the ispell "hash" files (+encoding file) for French and German. But now I don't know where (in which folder location) to put them or how to use or properly install them. The location info from this help page doesn't seem to correspond anymore (http://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/info/infospelling.html)
But maybe that's also not the way to go and I can achieve spell-checking of these languages in a different way. How could this be solved?
A: Testing with version 3.0.2 in 18.04.
Without having German or Italian support installed on my system I was able to switch to German and Italian, select them from the "Set language" setting (right-click outside text within document or under "Tools") and use spelling successfully.
Make default, press Enter.
It seems the OP already did that but then the spelling didn't work. That may be true or may be an impression coming from the fact that the setting above is somewhat buggy and the selection is not followed as expected, or rather the selection is a bit difficult to make - I had to repeat a few times in order to get the correct selection. It seemed to me that the "Make default" option is not immediately followed, in which case I made sure that my text intended for correction was selected, and then right-clicked while it was selected, and then chose "Set language", with double-click on the language name. To see which corrector is selected for different parts of text, click text and look at right-bottom of the Abiword window.
Maybe the 18.04 comes with installed aspell dictionaries that were lacking in previous ubuntu-s. And indeed, the instructions at the address linked in the question are partially outdated. There is no /usr/local/share/AbiSuite-2.0/dictionary/ in the 3.x version. There is /usr/share/abiword-3.0/ but without any dictionaries. I guess the 3.x program uses some dictionaries at system level, but I am not sure it's the aspell ones, because in Synaptic I only see aspell and aspell-en installed (While German and Italian spellcheck is working without having those language added to the system).
In order to install aspell dictionaries they should be available in Synaptic or similar tools. In order to install them manually, go here, download the archive, open a terminal within the resulting directory and run
./configure
make
sudo make install
But that's not what made it work for me.
A: Open Language Support (in Menu -> Preferences), and install those languages you want to be available. The files you install that way will include dictionaries for spell checking.

This Week in Ridiculous Regulations
A partial federal shutdown looks more likely than it did a week ago, the federal deficit will likely top $1 trillion next year, and Theresa May survived a confidence vote in the UK over Brexit. The 2018 Federal Register surpassed last year's page count with two weeks to spare, and at its current pace could surpass last year's final regulation count next week. Rulemaking agencies issued regulations ranging from forage seeding to Mexican bovine brands.
On to the data:
Last week, 76 new final regulations were published in the Federal Register, after 73 the previous week.
That's the equivalent of a new regulation every two hours and 13 minutes.
Federal agencies have issued 3,184 final regulations in 2018. At that pace, there will be 3,317 new final regulations. Last year's total was 3,236 regulations.
Last week, 1,050 new pages were added to the Federal Register, after 1,140 pages the previous week.
The 2018 Federal Register totals 64,432 pages. It is on pace for 67,117 pages. The all-time record adjusted page count (which subtracts skips, jumps, and blank pages) is 96,994, set in 2016.
Rules are called "economically significant" if they have costs of $100 million or more in a given year. Five such rules have been published this year, none in the last week.
The running compliance cost tally for 2018's economically significant regulations is a net savings ranging from $348.9 million to $560.9 million.
Agencies have published 102 final rules meeting the broader definition of "significant" so far this year.
So far in 2018, 623 new rules affect small businesses; 25 of them are classified as significant.
Highlights from selected final rules published last week:
A list of drug products the Food and Drug Administration has removed from the market for safety or effectiveness.
Renewable fuel standards for 2019 and 2020.
Federal crop insurance for forage seeding.
Flying over Damascus.
A correction to a recent update to webcaster royalty rates.
Credit limits for foreign banks.
Rules for publishing research on investment funds.
Conduct on federal property rules from the Homeland Security Department.
Temporary loosening of school lunch regulations.
Mexican bovine branding.

Early morning transfer to Quito Airport to board our domestic flight to the Galapagos Islands. Upon arrival in San Cristobal, welcome check-in and tropical fresh juice cocktail at Golden Bay. Brief introduction to the islands and day activities before enjoying lunch at hotel.
Early in the afternoon continue to Frigate Hill, where we'll spot many of the unique species of the Galapagos. As we hike over natural lava rock trails, our guides will tell us all about Galapagos cotton, palo santo, acacia, and cacti surrounding us, as well as the blue-footed boobies, frigate birds, pelicans, herons, gulls, warblers, mockingbirds, and finches that we spot in the vegetation and sea cliffs. In addition to the diverse wildlife, this walking tour provides marvellous views of the rugged coastline and the town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno below us. Continue to the local Interpretation Centre, where we learn about the unique wildlife, geology, natural history, and social dynamics of the Galapagos.
Get onboard a speed boat and head to Kicker Rock, the highlight of San Cristobal Island, a world renown site for snorkelling and diving. Amazing area for spotting sharks, rays and a great variety of tropical fish, you´ll be amazed in this natural aquarium.
After this snorkelling adventure, we visit secret fishing spots with our local fishing guides to learn about the traditional techniques Galapagueños have used for more than hundred years to survive in the islands. Catch a wahoo or yellow fin tuna and make the most delicious sashimi or ceviche on board with the crew.
After lunch, we head back to the island and spend the rest of our afternoon leisurely exploring the small village of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.
n the morning, we take a short inter-island flight to Isabela island, the largest island in the archipelago, formed by six active shield volcanoes. In fact, Isabela is one of the most volcanically active spots on the planet.
We walk through the channels, a set of small islets filled with hidden coves and beaches. Home to the famous and endemic Galapagos penguin, as well as other marine life. Optional snorkelling!
After a delicious lunch made with local and organic products, the afternoon takes us on a short trail walk leading to the Giant Tortoise Centre, completed in 1994 and home to the tortoise populations of southern Isabela. We'll get a chance to see hatchlings as well as older tortoises.
Along the way to the Tortoise Centre we pass through a manzanillo forest surrounded by wetlands, home to the famous giant pink flamingos a delightful and unexpected sight for Galapagos.
Our day starts with a hike to the rim of one of the most spectacular calderas in the world, the "Sierra Negra" Volcano. We discover the native forest of the highlands until you reach the rim of the caldera, similar to a giant bowl of black lava. We might be lucky and spot the mighty Galapagos hawk, as well as other rare birds. Enjoy the magnificent view and learn the geology of one of the youngest volcanoes in the world!
We stop for lunch to enjoy a traditional feral pig. These are introduced, wild pigs, and hunting them preserves the ecosystem of the Galapagos. We share our table with a local family and then go for a visit to the Troya Farm. The farmers way of life is practically lost, so our visit contributes to keeping the traditional practices alive. The Troya family with share the secrets of farming on lava soil and will give us a taste of their locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Take a short inter-island flight or a speedboat from Isabela to Santa Cruz Island. As soon as we arrive, we drive to the highlands for our first stop at Lava Java, an organic farm run by Scott Henderson and his wife Maria Helena, both staunch conservation advocates. Their shadow grown coffee is world class prized and the finca is a recognized bird eco-friendly spot. They´ll share their experiences on growing coffee and organic farming, while we enjoy freshly brewed coffee and fruit from the farm.
We take off to enjoy a local "criollo" lunch at another local farm in the highlands. We´ll spend our afternoon visiting the grounds and collecting different fruits and vegetables to sample later on. Agriculture practices, animal farming, coffee plantations, sugar cane products made by the owners await us along with tales and legends of the first settlers.
In the afternoon, we visit the famous Charles Darwin Research Station where we´ll learn about the giant tortoise breeding center and a small land iguana breeding center. These and many more are the invaluable conservation efforts by the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Galapagos National Park.
In the morning we'll take a short hike through a distinctive dry forest to the stunning, pristine beach of Tortuga Bay. Along the way, we find many native birds, lizards, and plants. We emerge from the forest onto the spectacular Tortuga Bay, home of one of the most beautiful beaches in the Galapagos. Soft, white, fine sand and pristine turquoise waters welcome us for a perfect and relaxed day.
After lunch, we go to town and visit artisan workshops. At one particular shop we learn about chocolate and the cocoa bean. Ecuador produces some of the world's finest cocoa, and we´ll taste a wide assortment of chocolates made on-site from raw, local ingredients.
As evening comes, we'll prepare to visit the most representative Restaurants in Santa Cruz and taste different best sampling menus celebrating a wonderful trip and enjoying the last evening in the Galapagos.
We transfer to Baltra Island for our return flight to the mainland. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUewrxK6EuNCwywpx- | Wont bore you with my entire long story and my love for cars, Porsches and just about anything with motors. I've been looking for a while (year plus) for a 911sc to be my first Porsche.
I'm curious to hear from all of you here with much more experience than me, your thoughts around this being my first Porsche, ability to maintain it, work on it etc.
I've located on I may pull the trigger on. Early 80's with 80k miles on it. Not sure of the best price for it. Its in great shape, but I'll figure that out later.
Let me hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
My mechanical skills would be "moderately advanced" if I had to describe it. I've worked on bikes, boats, several Toyotas, etc to a good extent. Never a German car in my life.
An air cooled 911 is one of the easiest cars I've ever worked on. Plus, nearly every possible project is well documented here on Pelican. These cars were well overbuilt, they don't build 'em like it anymore.
Have you swung by and seen the car in person? Based on some Google and other reviews, the place seems very questionable.
These cars were well overbuilt, they don't build 'em like it anymore.
True - but many original parts actually wear out quite quickly. Sometimes it's better to upgrade a high-wear oem part with a better one.
That drivers seat look like it has a lot more than 80K miles.
Speedos are easy to switch out on these cars and it is sitting a bit crooked? If your serious about the car I would puul it to see what the date code is on it regardless of what they tell you.
You sound like you want to DIY.
I agree that they are relatively easy machines to work on, but they also have serious design and build flaws that need to be addressed sooner or later (am talking about things like the garbage dilivar head studs used for decades and electrical worst practices), are extremely old, and are remarkably expensive to repair when something significant goes wrong.

The reputation of that dealer is questionable at best.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I believe that car would have come with an 85 mph speedo, so its a swap.
Car looks pretty tidy but nothing beats seeing it yourself. Pictures hide tons of stuff. Odd that so many bolts are rusted but not the associated parts.
The speedo switch was in 80. Maybe a late 79 car?? The fact the original AC compressor is still there makes me think it could be an all original car.
Plan on putting $20k into it. The suspension, brakes, fuel lines, gaskets, etc. are all done. The car is 39 year old.
Don't get attached to one car. There are lots of them out there. I found both my p-cars after deals fell through and thought I'd never find the one I wanted.
Bought my 1st P car ('88 Carrera sunroof coupe) month ago. Was open to model/ year w budget limit. I'm not a mechanic by trade but mechanically inclined. Was looking for good runner w minor problems I can fix myself. Ended up finding the car thru networking.
Looks like a decent car. Someone put on the front spoiler or took off a tail. The price is not bad if the miles are right and it the history is good. Not much to go on in the description. PPI is needed. My advice is to look at and drive several as you can then weed out the dogs. When you look at a good one you will know it. There are many on the market now and travel to look at it if its not local. I looked at and drove many 930s across the US before I decided on the one I have.

Agree - cars seems decent with some issues that would suggest it may have more miles than shown. Being from CA, I get a little nervous when I see rusty bolts (AC & undercarriage) - make sure there is no rust in the usual spots around the windows, front fenders, etc. Also, roof looks wavy in front. Test drive it to make sure it doesn't leak or howl (too much).
I am by no means a mechanic - but even I managed a valve adjustment.
Do what your doing ,ask lots of questions. Try to go for lots of comparison rides/drives.
If you can wait a bit I believe that getting a car from a private party might be your best route... Especially from an owner who's had the car 3 years plus. You'll hear more of the history and get first-hand information. I've found that many of the best cars trade owner to owner and never see a dealer. | c4 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdzPxK2li-LM1SA8I | Woman discovers 'missing' cat took 20+ mile joyride underneath her car
UTAH COUNTY — A woman in Utah is still wondering how her kitten, Milo, is alive after he rode under her car through several cities.
Jessica Mosher thought she had lost Milo.
"Everyone else is like, 'It's just a cat, it's not a big deal,' and I'm like, 'It's my baby,'" she told KSTU.
She spent the day searching for the cat, even posting on Facebook in a desperate plea to be reunited with her pet. Then she figured out the truth.
"Apparently he climbed up underneath my car, drove with me to Spanish Fork to drop my daughter off at daycare, drove with me to Orem at my work, stayed under my car the whole time," she said.
That trip included several stops before Mosher ended up at her job in Orem.
"I don't know how he stayed on because I wasn't driving particularly safe either," she laughed.
The cat's journey didn't end with Mosher, though. She went home from work without Milo — he ended up under the car of one of her coworkers.
Joy Bylsma drove to her second job at The Corner Bakery Cafe in Orem after working with Mosher. After her shift ended around 11 p.m., she saw something that didn't belong.
"This little kitten comes out from underneath my car," Bylsma said.
She decided to take the kitten home with her, not knowing this was Mosher's cat.
When Bylsma got home, her husband saw Mosher's Facebook post about her missing cat and showed her. Bylsma knew she had her friend's kitten, so she called Mosher.
It was close to midnight, and Mosher didn't answer. So Bylsma texted her telling her she had Milo.
"She calls me hysterical," Bylsma said. "Like, 'You're lying, you don't have my kitten. How would you have my kitten?'"
That is when it all started to make sense: Milo had gone on quite a dangerous adventure.
"I think he lost about three of his nine lives," Mosher joked.
Milo is now back at home where he belongs and only riding inside the car, not underneath.

BkiUddXxK0iCl4YJnsxr | Parkinson disease 3, autosomal dominant Lewy body (PARK3): Type 3 Parkinson disease is linked to a genetic mutation on chromosome 2p13. Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive, degenerative brain disorder characterized by tremors, muscle rigidity and slowed movements. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Parkinson disease 3, autosomal dominant Lewy body (PARK3) is available below.
There is no cure for the disease but various therapies may improve quality of life and comfort: support group, adequate nutrition, exercise, physiotherapy, rehabilitation and regular health checks. Medications that may help some patients include Levodopa, COMT inhibitors (e.g. Tolcapone, Entacapone), dopamine agonists and MAO-B inhibitors, anticholinergic drugs - the benefits of these medications often have to be weighed up against the side effects. Surgical procedures such as deep brain stimulation and pallidotomy may also help some patients. Complementary therapies can also improve symptoms and the more notable ones include: supplements of L-tyrosine, ferrous iron, pyridoxine, NADH, THFA, coenzyme Q10 and plant-derived mucuna may provide varying degrees of benefit.

BkiUfKDxaKgQRTAkvKvk | The power companies have developed a standard for 120-volt single-phase power distribution in which one of the two conductors is designated the "hot" wire (the black wire in North America) and the other, by default, the neutral (the white wire). Neither power conductor in an AC system is permanently at either a positive or a negative potential. Their respective potentials alternate between zero, the maximum positive, zero, and the maximum negative potential. This is what makes it AC.
Keeping track of which wire is the neutral is necessary in order to prevent potentially dangerous voltage differences from existing between one boat and another, connected to the same or separated shore-power systems. In a properly wired AC system, there should be no significant voltage difference between the neutral wire and the safety ground wire. Therefore, an incorrect connection may be detected by sensing a current flow between the neutral wire from the shore power system and the electrical system's safety ground wire.
E-8.10.2 Reverse polarity indicating devices are not required in systems employing polarization or isolation transformers that establish the polarity on the boat.
Upon detection of a reverse-polarity indication on any boat the shore power should be immediately disconnected and the shore-power system wiring on the dock inspected. It may be that the polarity of the shore power is reversed from the normal or the neutral is "floating" and not properly referenced to ground. It is also possible that the shore power safety ground wire (the green wire) may not be connected to proper earth ground. Connecting to an improperly wired shore-power system can create potentially harmful conditions for personnel as well as damaging galvanic currents.

BkiUabbxK2li-DeXxk4_ | A new epoch has begun for our municipality. The highway, Free Zone, railway line and future gas pipeline route are our greatest advantages compared to other municipalities of our region. We hope that this enormous state investment in infrastructure will reduce unemployment significantly.
Corridor 10 is expected to be a lifeline for Dimitrovgrad. What will this roadway bring you, given that you're a border municipality?
– Corridor 10's construction is the largest single investment in the country in the past decade, and that in itself testifies to its significance and expected positive effects for the Serbian economy. When it comes to our municipality, paradoxically, we were at one point more interested in the construction of the motorway taking as long as possible, as a significant number of our citizens were involved in the construction of the motorway, tunnels, bridges, access roads, as well as the fact that significant funds were paid to citizens in compensation for the expropriation of land along the highway's route.
Today, following the construction of a warehouse around Dimitrovgrad and the near completion of the entire route from Niš to the border with Bulgaria, we expect Dimitrovgrad to be more accessible to the rest of the country, and – following completion of the section from the border to Sofia – we'll also become closer to Sofia, which, under conditions of the free flow of people, goods and capital, has great significance to Dimitrovgrad's further economic development.
Will the new highway, free zone, railway line and future gas pipeline route revitalise the municipality?
– All of that is our advantage over other municipalities of our region, which are currently at the same level of development, but are not on the route of the corridor. Dimitrovgrad can't significantly reduce unemployment from the privatisation of large social enterprises, like most municipalities in southern Serbia, and this huge infrastructure investment, which increases the attractiveness of our location, contributes to finally improving this situation. It is up to us to use this positive circumstance by understanding the needs of both domestic business and foreign investors, and to realise the advantages given to us as soon as possible. Plots sold in the Beleš Work Zone and the launch of the construction of manufacturing plants are ample evidence that things are heading in the right direction.
It was over a year ago that the leadership of our country and Bulgaria discussed major joint infrastructure projects, improving cooperation in rail transport and reaching foreign trade exchange of 3.5 billion euros. Has the realisation of these jobs since started?
– Bulgaria is also constructing the Corridor 10 highway from Sofia towards Dimitrovgrad, without which investment from this side of the border makes little sense. As for our municipality, economic cooperation exists in several directions. A certain number of Dimitrovgrad residents work in Bulgaria and travel daily to Dragoman, Kostinbrod and Sofia, while another type of real economic cooperation is greenfield investments from Bulgaria in our Beleš Work Zone. We have signed contracts with two companies that purchased land and production facilities are under construction. The only official, more significant foreign trade exchange is that of a textile company which until a year ago sold its entire production in Bulgaria. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUdyw5qsBDHTHZ3ngR | "When You Believe," Houston's hope-filled duet with Mariah Carey from the Prince of Egypt soundtrack, links miracles with faith (though God's role is merely implied). Other songs laud falling in love ("I Was Made to Love Him"), staying in love ("Oh Yes," "You'll Never Stand Alone," "My Love Is Your Love") and confronting unfaithfulness or a lack of commitment ("It's Not Right, But It's Okay," "Get It Back," "Heartbreak Hotel").
On "In My Business, "guest rapper Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott refers to certain jealous women as "hos"(whores). Houston says she would've sold her soul to have her man back ("I Learned from the Best").
This '80s pop diva's first studio disc in eight years is predominantly positive. Lots of R&B songs about the stages of romantic relationships. Two minor caveats aside, My Love Is Your Love makes the cut, but Houston fans would do even better with her gospel-centered The Preacher's Wife soundtrack.

BkiUb1Q4ukPiES_fJKRg | Sugar confectionaries include sweet or sugar based food items, which are normally eaten as snacks. Boiled sweets, medicated confectionery, lollipops, gums, caramels, jellies and toffees are some examples of such products. The market for sugar confectionary is likely to grow at a rapid pace owing to the continuous product innovation and increasing trend of gifting these food items in various occasions and parties. Moreover, wide availability of these products through various distribution channels, such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, and retail stores among others is likely to fuel the growth of this market. Increasing demand for organic and natural candies and other premium products is likely to create ample opportunity for the expansion of this market in near future. In addition, rural areas across the world serve as an untapped market for sugar confectionaries. However, factors such as growing consciousness towards health and wellness and increasing number of patients with diabetes are expected to restrain the growth of sugar confectionaries market to some extent. Sugar confectionaries contain high amount of sugar, which if consumed for prolonged time, can result in obesity and other diseases. In addition, rising consumer preference towards dark chocolate is another factor hindering the development of market.
The sugar confectionaries market is bifurcated into product type and geography. On the basis of product type, the market is divided into lollipops, boiled sweets, medicated confectionery, pastilles, mint, gums, chews and jellies, nougat, caramels and toffees among others. There is huge demand for boiled sweets globally, owing to the increasing trend of consumption of snacks between meals and high nutritional content of these products. Factors such as affordable price and popularity of boiled sweets are anticipated to fuel the growth of overall market for sugar confectionery. However, there has been an increasing health concern regarding consumption of pastilles, gums, jellies and chews, owing to obesity problems associated with these food items. Thus, leading manufacturers are continuously indulged in improving these products and developing items that are gluten free. Moreover, the market for toffees, nougat and caramel is expected to witness strong growth, due to increasing promotional activities of these products by local and multinational companies. Medicated confectioneries are widely used in drug formulation for conditions like cold, congestion of respiratory tract, allergies and cough.
On the basis of geography, the sugar confectionaries market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa (MEA) and Latin America. There is a significant demand for confectionary products in North America and Europe. Moreover, large numbers of companies have their presence in these regions owing to huge customer base. Asia-Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR, primarily due to increasing disposable income and growing retail industry in this region. Moreover, there has been a decrease in prices of sugar confectionaries, owing to huge capital investments by leading companies in developing nations. The market is also anticipated to witness strong growth in Latin America. The major reason is attributed to improvement in sugar confectionery products and immense growth of sugarcane industry in Brazil and Argentina among others. In addition, the consumption of pastilles, candy, nougat and gum is expected to increase in these regions as substitutes for chocolate. These factors are motivating local manufacturers to significantly invest in this market in Latin America.
Some of the major players operating in the sugar confectionary market are Mondelez International, Mars Inc., The Hershey Company, Ferrero SpA, Lindt & Sprungli AG, Nestle S.A., Perfetti Van Mella SpA, Lotte Confectionery Co. Ltd., United Confectionery, Yildiz Holding, WM Wrigley JR and Zachary Confections among others. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUdjc5qsBDHn4QzwX6 | The aim is to establish a type approval facility to carry out verification tests on all submitted sample optical access systems and products in order to verify compatibility with global ITU-T standards. The testing procedure involves equipment performance checks and design specification measurements as well as field checks of sample systems, network, etc. to establish compliance with the relevant ITU-T protocols.
In the fifth national development plan, the necessity of setting up reference type approval Labs in the field of communications & information technology is stipulated. And, this is further emphasized by the fact that the access section of the National Information Network will be largely based on the GPON optical technology. Therefore, an important outcome of this assignment is to identify the highest quality systems and components for incorporation into the national fiber network.

Now in its 7th edition, the event which is organised as part of the bank's CSR intervention, he mentioned that it seeks to empower the Nigerian undergraduate with skills and enterprise training, which are relevant for self-reliance.
Also, he stated that the bank had organised the programme in various institutions of higher learning including the University of Nigeria, Nsukka; Waziri Umar Federal Polytechnic, Birnin-Kebbi; Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State; Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt; Bayero University, Kano and Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.
For the Sokoto edition, Nnakwe stated the bank has expanded the scope of the programme in a bid to accommodate new areas of vocational training.
Apart from the typical training on tailoring and make-up, he noted that participants were also provided with requisite skills and first-hand knowledge in Fashion Designing, Cloth Embellishment, Cocktail and Phone Engineering among others.
In conclusion, he added; "We in Fidelity Bank have targeted programmes on education, environment and youth empowerment. This one you are witnessing today is part of fulfilling our promises to the society."

BkiUgnzxK7IAB1deWdOx | North German: nickname from Middle Low German wrak 'spoiled', 'damaged', 'useless'.
Where is the Wrage family from?
You can see how Wrage families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Wrage family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1861 and 1920. The most Wrage families were found in the USA in 1920. In 1880 there were 17 Wrage families living in New York. This was about 24% of all the recorded Wrage's in the USA. New York had the highest population of Wrage families in 1880.
Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Wrage surname lived. Within census records, you can often find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, and occupations.
What did your Wrage ancestors do for a living?
In 1880, a less common occupation for the Wrage family was Cabinet Maker. Farmer, Tailor and Braking Prarie were the top 3 reported jobs worked by Wrage. The most common Wrage occupation in the USA was Farmer. 28% of Wrage's were Farmers.
Census records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your Wrage ancestors, such as occupation. Occupation can tell you about your ancestor's social and economic status.
What Wrage family records will you find?
There are 3,000 census records available for the last name Wrage. Like a window into their day-to-day life, Wrage census records can tell you where and how your ancestors worked, their level of education, veteran status, and more.
There are 642 immigration records available for the last name Wrage. Passenger lists are your ticket to knowing when your ancestors arrived in the USA, and how they made the journey - from the ship name to ports of arrival and departure.
There are 1,000 military records available for the last name Wrage. For the veterans among your Wrage ancestors, military collections provide insights into where and when they served, and even physical descriptions.
You've only scratched the surface of Wrage family history.
What is the average Wrage lifespan?
Between 1965 and 2004, in the United States, Wrage life expectancy was at its lowest point in 2000, and highest in 1990. The average life expectancy for Wrage in 1965 was 59, and 62 in 2004.
An unusually short lifespan might indicate that your Wrage ancestors lived in harsh conditions. A short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family. The SSDI is a searchable database of more than 70 million names. You can find birthdates, death dates, addresses and more. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdss5qoYDgb9DH7zW | Next time you are at Starbucks picking up your coffee with a splash of soy milk - hit up the bar area for free beauty booty.
Sugar in the raw packets: there is enough sugar in one lil packet to get your lips or elbows smooth. Take it home, add a bit of olive oil or coconut oil in a bowl with the sugar and massage onto you lips or a dry spot (avoid your face - the sugar is to course for the face area). Brush off of your lips or wash it off your dry spot. Sugary and soft!
Napkins: Recently I read that the napkins from Starbucks make great face blotters...I have oily skin and a few hours after putting on my makeup and running errands I can be pretty shiny. So I tried using the napkin to remove oil...It worked! It worked just as well as my pricey lil blotting sheets!
Great tips! Another excellent cheap/free oil blotter sheet are those thin paper toilet seat covers. Also, in a pinch, cheap-o coffee filters themselves are awesome.
ouch eating sugar plain would kill my teeth! i like rock candy in small amounts though!
the toilet seat thing is something i have tried in the past as well!
Good tips! Ijust ran out of Elf's blotter sheets, they were pretty good for a buck.
I don't often go to Starbucks but I will try using turbinado sugar & olive oil as a gentle exfoliant. Thanks for the tip! | c4 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 |
BkiUd-w4eIZjyngneWaN | Q: Lighttpd as tomcat proxy with static content serving How can I configure Lighttpd to serve static content on specified URL address (eg. www.my-domain.com/static) from specified directory (e.g. /var/www/my-domain/static) ?
Rest of requests must be passed to tomcat container.
Actually I pass all requests to tomcat (see snippet below). I can't get it to work. So if it's not possible - NO is also answer for me. At least I will stop trying.
$HTTP["host"] =~ "www.my-domain.com" {
proxy.server = ("" => (
"tomcat" => (
"host" => "127.0.0.1",
"port" => 8080,
"fix-redirects" => 1
)
)
)
}
A: You have to "disable" the proxy on static files (i.e. enable it only on other files):
$HTTP["host"] =~ "www.my-domain.com" {
server.document-root = "/var/www/my-domain"
$HTTP["url"] !~ "^/static" {
proxy.server = ("" => ( "tomcat" => (
"host" => "127.0.0.1",
"port" => 8080,
"fix-redirects" => 1
) ) )
}
}
Also try debug.log-request-handling = "enable" and check error.log, also see http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/DebugVariables
A: You just need a new rule to handle static content:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "www.my-domain.com" {
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/static" {
server.document-root = "/var/www/my-domain/static"
}
proxy.server = ("" => (
"tomcat" => (
"host" => "127.0.0.1",
"port" => 8080,
"fix-redirects" => 1
)
)
)
}
Edit:
You could try with an alias:
alias.url = ( "/static" => "/var/www/my-domain/static/" )

BkiUf2g5qhDC0N-q8XFK | Q: Closed Intervals help in Swift I want to compare 2 different closed intervals to check if they have any overlap
var a = 1.0 ... 5.0
var x = 2.5 ... 6.5
var y = 0.5 ... 7.0
var z = 5.5 ... 8.0
compare(a,x) //should return true
compare(a,y) //should return true
compare(a,z) //should return false
does swift have any function like this built in? All I could find that was close was a contains method for intervals but I get an error when I do that
A: Check overlaps method
a.overlaps(x) // return true
a.overlaps(y) // return true
a.overlaps(z) // return false

BkiUbI3xaL3Sug5GKL4F | 1. Leading the Way on Leaks: CLF was one of the first organizations to call for more attention to the "fugitive emissions" from natural gas. We partnered with academics from Boston University to map leaks throughout the city of Boston and issued a first-of-its-kind report on the scope of the problem of leaking pipelines as well as policy tools to tackle the problem. Although natural gas burns cleaner than coal at the smokestack, natural gas is over 90% methane, and when it leaks from pipelines or other equipment, methane's heat-trapping power is potent. Unless leaks are substantially reduced, they can virtually erase any potential climate benefits of switching to natural gas.
2. Taking the Long View: There is a role for gas, but it must be limited. We cannot simply replace every retiring coal and oil plant with natural gas and expect to leave our children with a livable climate. CLF understands that the increased use of existing natural gas electric generation capacity has helped to pave the way for the retirement of dirtier coal plants, but building new, long-lived natural gas infrastructure without any constraints isn't compatible with meeting our climate goals.
3. Crafting Real-World Solutions: CLF struck the first agreement in the nation to place binding greenhouse gas emissions limits and a date certain for shutdown on a new natural gas fired power plant. When Massachusetts regulators failed to establish meaningful GHG limits for a proposed new gas plant, CLF stepped in and negotiated a settlement that requires the project to limit its useful life to 2050 and reduce its GHG emissions over time consistent with the requirements of the Massachusetts Global Warming Solutions Act.
4. Building Better Markets: CLF understands the intricacies of the electric and gas markets and has been working to develop market refinements that create more transparency and liquidity in the gas markets in order to reduce price spikes through better use of existing supply rather than overbuilding new capacity. CLF's proposals for a winter reliability solution, had ISO-NE adopted them last winter, would have lowered prices and lowered pollution. CLF continues to fight for better market design that sends the right price signals to maximize efficient use of our resources. New England is ahead of the curve on clean energy and climate change – and that's why CLF was the only regional environmental organization invited to be part of this discussion, which will ultimately shape national policy around methane emissions as part of President Obama's Climate Action Plan. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 |
