BkiUavXxK1ThhAcYiJxj | *Please note special hours for these exhibitions listed at the end of the release.
The Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum (CAF) presents a tour-de-force solo exhibition entitled Michele O'Marah: Video Portraits, together with an ambitious off-site project Home Show, Revisited. Both exhibitions explore the notion of home, site, and place.
Michele O'Marah: Video Portraits will present the artist's well-known video portraits of Los Angeles-based artists, musicians, and friends, inspired by Andy Warhol's Screen Tests (1964-66). At CAF, O'Marah will create a full-room, multi-channel installation of these videos that reads as a larger-than-life portrait of her community. O'Marah's oeuvre explores the effects of popular culture, deconstructing in particular Hollywood genres and stereotypes, while involving the arts community as an active participant.
Alongside O'Marah's exhibition, CAF's Executive Director and chief curator, Miki Garcia, asked O'Marah to co-curate Home Show, Revisited. For this wide-reaching program the curators invited 10 Los Angeles-based artists to reconsider the societal and cultural notion of "home" by creating site-specific installations in residences throughout Santa Barbara. Reprising two of CAF's most significant exhibitions —Home Show (1988) with the likes of Ann Hamilton, Joseph Kosuth, and Ursula von Rydingsvard and Home Show2 (1996) with Dan Graham, Vito Acconci, and Pepon Osorio — the Home Show, Revisited features internationally acclaimed artists Piero Golia, Evan Holloway, Bettina Hubby, Florian Morlat, Kori Newkirk, Jennifer Rochlin, Ry Rocklen, Kirsten Stoltmann, Stephanie Taylor, and Jennifer West. Homes will be open to the public Friday – Saturday: 11 am – 5 pm and Sunday: noon – 5 pm throughout the run of the exhibition. Visitors to CAF will be given a map and directions for the art installation tour.

BkiUeVm6NNjgBtyggiku | 'Hull'din up the Competition' creates winning video
Hull, Iowa team announced the winner of Sudenga Video Contest
News / 'Hull'din up the Competition' creates winning video
We would like to congratulate Nolan Meerdink along with team members Dan Meerdink, Ken Brunsting and Jacob Van Leeuween for their work on a video about Sudenga's Micro Skids that won them first place in the first annual Sudenga Video Contest. The team members, all of from Hull, Iowa, entered under the team name 'Hull'din up the competition' and they did just that.
Nolan Meerdink, a freshman at Northwest Iowa Community College (NCC), heard about the video competition from a college friend. He then turned to his dad Dan Meerdink who introduced him to Ken Brunsting, the Feed Mill Manager at the Hull Coop in Hull, Iowa.
"Ken was great about the whole process and always willing to help us with whatever we needed," said Meerdink.
The video featured an interview with Brunsting who explained how the Sudenga Micro System weighs and batches feed automatically and how their coop has befitted from using such a system.
"It's a wonderful machine and it works really good. It's made my life a lot easier. I love the thing," Brunsting explained in the video.
Meerdink shot the video with a DSLR with a 1.8 50mm lens. The live vocals were recorded on an XLR microphone, which lead to a focusrite pre-amp, and into pro tools on a laptop. He used all natural lighting. The narrating was scripted but the interview was not. Meerdink noted that Brunsting did very well coming up with information on the spot but not all went as planned.
"The first time we filmed Ken talking about the micro system I actually forgot to press record on the pro tools session. As soon as I left, I found out I didn't have audio, so I had to come back the next day and do it all over again. It only took about 10 minutes though, and Ken was really great about the whole thing," explained Meerdink.
One of our favorite parts was that Meerdink went above and beyond with the music. There were three main songs in the video all which were performed my Meerdink himself.
"The first is a song I made specifically for this project was literally called "Sudenga Song", this plays over Ken talking. The real quick song was the heavenly choir sample that plays when the micro system is introduced. The 2nd main song was the one that plays during the animation. This was a song I made a while back ago but never actually released. I figure since I probably would never end up releasing it as it's own song I might as well include it in here. The last song was one from an album I made with a friend, and the song is called Biblocation," said Meerdink
Meerdink's interest in music started at a very young age. He started playing snare when he was eleven. He then moved on to guitar and then piano once he learned how interchangeable music theory was.
Van Leeuween inspired a lot of the ideas behind the animated segment of the video while Meerdink directed the scenes, made the video, produced the music, animated the middle segment, and did the voice over. They were awarded a check for $500 for their winning video. View the video here.
Nolan Meerdink and Jacob Van Leeuween are both 18 and from Hull, Iowa. Meerdink is currently a freshman at NCC and Leeuween plans to start at NCC next year.

BkiUdY3xK7IAFzA-gkHI | Agway of Cape Cod recently created a new Memorial Garden in front of its flagship store in South Dennis. The tranquil space is meant to honor those employees who have passed away during the store's 25 years of operation, including the original founders – Roger Wile and Rita Wile.
The garden incorporates a koi pond surrounded by colorful perennials and annuals. It also includes a stone bench and a brick walkway, which is inscribed with the names of the employees who have passed. Among them are Marilyn Leonard (2005), Ray Durkee (2016), Ronnie DiGravio (2005), Sandy Mooney (2009), Sherwood Moore (2006), Dan Jacoby (2008), Don Smith (2016), Helen Newman (2007), Phil Anastasia (2005), C. Roger Wile (1993) and Rita C. Wile (2002).
Agway of Cape Cod dates back to the 1960's when Roger Wile, a poultry and cattle farmer, opened a feed store in Northboro. The store was eventually passed down to son Peter and his wife Susan, who in 1993 relocated to Cape Cod and opened the first Agway of Cape Cod location in Orleans. They soon expanded with the opening of stores in Chatham and Dennis. Today, 25 years later, the store is operated by the 3rd generation of Wiles. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUb5k5jDKDyDz_72c_ | Felixstowe Travel has taken delivery of a new B11R SC7 following the purchase of a B8R SC5 late last year.
Felixstowe Travel continues fleet expansion with new Volvo B11R
27/04/18 Press Information
Felixstowe Travel takes delivery of B11R SC7 as part of fleet expansion.
Mick Dabbs, Owner of Felixstowe Travel, said: "Over a number of years we placed our trust in our pre-owned Volvo Sunsundegui coaches and last year we graduated to our first new Volvo, a B8R SC5. The vehicles have all been reliable, practical and efficient.
"Our company was previously involved in road haulage and we ran 23 Volvo trucks, so it was a natural progression to buy Volvo coaches because of our positive experience over the years.
"As a tour operator, our passengers are more often than not holidaymakers, so comfort and luxury is important, which is why we specified added extras including a sunken toilet and USB sockets at each seat.
"We pride ourselves on our company philosophy which is to provide the best passenger comfort and service we possibly can, and I can confidently say that Volvo has allowed us to keep to our word.
"Additionally, we have been able to rely on our Retail Bus and Coach Sales Manager, Richard Mann. He has helped guide us through our fleet expansion from used to new vehicles and we have not been disappointed.
"Aftersales and service is also important to us, and over the years we have developed a good working relationship with our local Volvo Bus dealer, Volvo Truck and Bus Centre East Anglia, so we trust them to help keep us on the road."
Richard Mann added: "The reputation of the B11R means that it is a firm favourite among operators for its excellent fuel consumption and operational performance. Increasingly customers are placing orders based upon recommendation and feedback from other operators. We're pleased that Felixstowe Travel has added this new B11R SC7 vehicle to their growing fleet."
After 25 years of running his own haulage company, Mick Dabbs sold his business in 2009 and started a new family venture, Felixstowe Travel. The company is based in the seaside town of Felixstowe in Suffolk, and specialises in holidays, day trips and school excursions. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbfw4eIXgu2Rlnnyd | Munich, January 11th 2012 – The Outlook-integrated project management software InLoox has been recently installed at the Technical University of Darmstadt. Staff members at the Corporate Management and Logistics department use InLoox for time and resource planning, time tracking, communication and documentation of all major projects. More and more universities and colleges rely on InLoox when it comes to project management, e.g. the Munich University of Applied Sciences, the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences or the Ruhr University of Bochum.
The Corporate Management and Logistics department of the Technical University of Darmstadt deals with several large projects from the fields of research, teaching and academic self-administration. The core subject matters are the fields of corporate management, transport logistics and logistics. What is important to the team is to keep the overview of the project landscape, to keep all team members updated on the latest project developments and to plan new projects in a time-saving way. When the team coordination via Microsoft Outlook was no longer sufficient for these objectives, the team started to look for a professional project management system.
The solution was supposed to enable the team members to complete the department's projects in an even more efficient way and to weight the personal working times of the project staff in a clearly laid out manner. From the very beginning, it was clear that the software was supposed to be integrated seamlessly into Microsoft Outlook so that the group ware could remain the team's communication central. When researching online, the team found the project management software of the Munich-based producer InLoox, a specialist in Outlook-integrated business solutions. "The direct integration into Outlook and the team features make it comfortable to use the software and offer the necessary functionality for our requirements. We decided to use a server solution based on MySQL which can be easily installed and which allows a simple installation and the programming of our own interfaces to other software applications", says the Group Manager of Logistics Management, Jan Tränkner.
After having tested the project software thoroughly, the team was sure that InLoox was the solution they were looking for. The implementation of InLoox started in the summer of 2011. During one month, InLoox was installed on all of the clients and all current projects were entered into the system. By now, the project time planning with activities and milestones is the feature that is used the most at TU Darmstadt. With this feature, even large projects can be clearly structured and users can always keep an overview of dates and deadlines. The possibility to communicate responsibilities, competences and due dates is often used, too.
Soon, the changeover from InLoox 6 to InLoox PM 7 will take place at TU Darmstadt so that project teams will be able to use the latest InLoox features, such as backward scheduling, individual working time calendars or time tracking with a stop watch.

Hunter Renfroe is Still Useful
Hunter Renfroe has never been a fantasy star. In his best offensive season (2018) he had a .338 wOBA which FanGraphs would call "Above Average" making him the 43rd best OF with 400+ PA that year. He added 26 HR in just 117 games, which is pretty good, but there wasn't much else. From an ottoneu points perspective, he was worth 4.9 points per game, but was worth 5.13 P/G if you leave out 17 games as a PH and the almost 62 points he created in those games. That would have been the 38th best OF by P/G with 50+ games that year. He was solid.
Last year, he dropped to 4.4 P/G and removing his PH appearances raised that to 4.9, dropping him from "solid" to "usable." This year…well, this year is ugly. He's at 3.1 P/G as of Thursday morning and only 3.4 after removing two games where he PH and PR and scored three total points. Which is why he is getting cut (roster % down 8.8% in the last 30 days) and which is why I wanted to see what went wrong.
It's still early this year, but with 89 PA under his belt, Renfroe is at the point where K-rate stabilizes and getting close to that point for walk rate, so we will start there. In that solid 2018, Renfroe had a 6.8% BB-rate and a 24.7% K-rate. In 2018, he actually improved the walk rate – up to 9.3%! – but the K-rate spiked, too – up to 31.2%! And those changes seem weird when you look at his plate discipline. Yes, he chased less (32.6% to 31.9%) and swung less in general (46.8% to 45.9%), but his contact rate was up a touch (71.0% to 71.4%) and his swinging strike rate dropped from 13.5% to 13.1%. None of those are massive changes, but they look like a guy who should walk more and strike out…maybe less? maybe the same? maybe even a little more since he is being more patient? But not a massive jump. Regression down from that 31.2% seems likely.
And in 2020, he has seen clear improvement. His swinging strike rate has plummeted to 10.7% and he is being even more selective – his O-Swing% is down to 29.0% – while making more contact – 74.5%. From a plate discipline standpoint, this is the best Renfroe we have ever seen, and it shows up in his 9.0% BB-rate and 24.7% K-rate. This is Renfroe combining his acceptable 2018 strike outs with his improved 2019 walks. It's a really good sign! And given that the walk rate is stable dating back to 2019 and that K-rate begins to stabilize and only 60 PA, there is good reason to think this is legit.
Renfroe is also hitting more fly balls than he did in 2018 (44.1% vs. 42.8%), though fewer than in 2019 (47.9%), but his HR/FB rate is down – 20.3% in 2018, 23.6% last year and 19.2% this year. It is worth noting that FB rate doesn't stabilize before 80 balls in play (Renfroe is at 59 batted ball events) and HR/FB rate requires 50 fly balls (26). Plus, that 19.2% HR/FB rate would be 20% with one fewer fly ball or 23% with one more HR. He's basically right where he has always been.
The problem for Renfroe is his BABIP. He's not a high BABIP guy – .258 for his career and .271 in that 2018 season – but after dropping to .239 last year he is at .148 this year. That won't continue. It can't.
There are valid concerns in his batted ball profile. He average exit velocity is 88.6 after being 89.9 both of the last two years. His barrel rate is down to 8.5% after being 12%+ the last two years. His hard hit rate is down, as well, and as a result his xwOBA, while far better than his .265 wOBA, is still really bad (.307).
Giving Renfroe a 9% BB-rate and 25% K-rate going forward, roughly where he is today, with a 45% FB rate and a 20% HR/FB rate, along with a .250 BABIP (lower than his career numbers given the lower Statcast data, but still much higher than so far) gives you a line over the next 100 PA of something like this: .231/.300/.500 with 6 HR, which looks an awful lot like 2018 Renfroe. Give him five doubles vs. his 6 HR and 9 singles, and you get 124.5 FanGraphs Points, which at 4.2 PA per game started works out to 5.23 points per start. Basically, the best year of his career from that perspective.
There's one other aspect to the Renfroe story – he has always had significant platoon splits. In that impressive 2018, he had a 112 wRC+ against RHP, but was at 64 the year before and 88 the year after. Against LHP, he was at 117 in 2018, but 175 the year before and 127 the year after.
This year? Against RHP he is at 81, which is low, but not surprising given his overall struggles. Against LHP, though, he has a 54 wRC+. Against LHP, he has a .056 BABIP. Against RHP, he has a comparatively robust .194. Otherwise, nothing jumps out of his splits. This suggests that most of his struggles are really, REALLY bad luck against LHP and merely really bad luck vs. RHP. He has consistently mashed LHP and I am confident he will again.
How much do I want to pay for Renfroe? Not a ton. The 5.23 points per start is fine, but it is probably more like 5.5 vs. LHP and 5.0 vs. RHP, making him a very useful player about a third of the time and a guy you can plug in as needed, but no more, the rest of the time.
The thing is, he is probably basically free right now. As noted above, he is being cut in a number of leagues. He is still rostered in 87% of leagues, but that number is dropping and there are plenty of managers who are fed up with him but not ready to drop. You can probably acquire him for almost nothing, maybe as a throw-in in a larger deal. The payoff won't be huge, but for a contender looking to deepen their OF, Renfroe could be a really useful addition.

BkiUdIw4ubng45iLGLsq | Directions to Hemel Hempstead Town
Hemel Hempstead Town
Vauxhall Road
Vauxhall Road, Hemel Hempstead, HP2 4HW
Leave the M1 at Junction 8 and take the A414 towards Hemel Hempstead. Go straight across two roundabouts and then just after passing a large Travelodge Building on your right (where there is also a Toby Carvery) move over to the right hand filter lane to turn right across the dual carriageway into Leverstock Green Road. Continue straight along this road then immediately after crossing a mini roundabout, turn left into Vauxhall Road. Then turn right at the next roundabout for the ground entrance.
There is some parking at the ground, which costs £1, but it is normally full well before kick off. However there is plenty of street parking available in the surrounding streets.
Hemel Hempstead Railway Station is located just over two and a half miles away from the ground and is a bit far to walk. There is a taxi rank outside the station and at the club itself (in the car park) is an office of a local taxi firm (Millennium Taxis) who can organise a car back to the station after the game has ended. The station is served by trains from London Euston.
Alternatively you can catch an Arriva Bus. Number 320 no longer serves Hemel railway station on a Saturday. So on leaving the station cross the road and catch any bus to the Riverside bus station. Services 500, 501 and 502 – there may be more, leave from Stand F. At Riverside you have a choice of buses that serve the general area of the football ground. Number 301 from Stand E will get you closest to the ground. As it passes along 'Longlands' get off at the end of Vauxhall Road, (you can see the floodlights over the playing field to the left), and then it is a short walk to the ground. This service is approximately half hourly and takes about 10 minutes. Also 300 and 320 go from Stand E will get you to the general area, but not so close. See the Arriva website for timetables. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdfPxK6wB9k0iL1ST | Expeditions: Viking goes gold, gets price tag and teaser trailer
Game News - posted by Infinitron on Fri 21 April 2017, 01:42:05
Tags: Ali Emek; Expeditions: Conquistador; Expeditions: Viking; Jonas Wæver; Logic Artists
Hey, what do you know. Time has flown by, and suddenly Expeditions: Viking is coming out next week. The Logic Artists have published a press release announcing that the game has gone gold (whatever that means these days) and that its price on release will be $30, with a $35 Deluxe Edition. The announcement also includes a (very) short teaser trailer. Since I love all trailers, I'll post the entire thing here:
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (April 20, 2017) — Logic Artists is pleased to confirm that its much-anticipated release of Expeditions: Viking is on schedule for April 27, 2017. The studio announced this morning that the Gold Version milestone has been reached.
To celebrate, Logic Artists is running a Free Weekend on Steam for its first title in the Expeditions Series – Expeditions: Conquistador. April 21st, 10am PDT.
With the game now out in the hands of the media for review access, the path is set and Expeditions: Viking will be available for purchase in stores and online next week.
Logic Artists Producer Ali Emek says, "After two years of development, we are on track toward our studio's best release so far.

BkiUbabxK6Ot9V_E2SVl | Manage your spending on IaaS with the Cloud Cost Monitor!
As promised when we introduced the new networking tools last week, we are now adding a new tool to your IT toolbox: Cloud Cost Monitor.
That's why we've designed the Cloud Cost Monitor. This free tool helps you avoid those cost surprises and keep an eye on how your bill is trending over time. Did you forget to turn off that large instance or release an old IP address? Was there an event that spiked your I/O costs this week? You can use this tool to watch out for any anomalies in your billing.
The email reports let you know how your costs compare to previous weeks as well as your overall cost trend. You can link from the email back to the dashboard view to get a more extensive cost breakdown.
This first release of the tool supports Azure and AWS, but let us know in the comments if you'd like to monitor your costs for another provider!
What do you think of the Cloud Cost Monitor? Are there any features you'd like to see in future versions of the tool? Let us know your thoughts, questions and reactions below!
And stay tuned for even more great IT tools like this one!
Looks awesome... my only hesitation has to do with privacy concerns.
Who all can see this data for example?
Tool is great, verification email could, umm, use some help. Almost deleted it until I saw who it was from.
Cool. Good to see Spiceworks is updating our tool set as our needs change.
Nice job guys! Love that it uses a user I create as well with limited permission.
Yeah...we know that's pretty rough. We should have new design for that email going out in the next week or so!
More free tools? You're so considerate, Spiceworks.
So why is this type of tool free ? What do you guys do with the data ?
Would like to see the "where is the data stored and who has access to it" paranoid crowd question answered.
Thanks for adding one more tool that can enhance the work for an IT Person.
Very nice tool! This will help me and my boss gauge for our spending since we just went to Azure!
Let me start by saying that Spiceworks will NEVER share your personally identifiable application data with anyone.
We sometimes do share anonymized application data with other IT partners, in a way that is not identifiable. And, of course, certain Spiceworkers can access your data for the purpose of better serving the application to you (e.g., the Support team).
Since this application is web-based, the data will be living on our servers, unlike the Desktop application where the raw data lives on your network. However, we obviously take precautions to follow web application best practices and take the protection of your data very seriously.
I hope that answers your questions. I'm happy to clarify anything if you have more questions.
Privacy is an important part of making useful, web-based tools free and we want to get it right.
Love this, thank you Spiceworks! I would really like to see plugins for OnApp and CenturyLink.
Looks amazing! Would love to see Rackspace added to the list alongside AWS and Azure.

Conversation Piece: The Rescue by Danek Mozdzenski

If you've walked through the Fringe grounds, you've seen it. If you've gone to the Old Strathcona Farmers' Market, you've seen it. If you've just hung out in the Whyte Avenue area, you've seen it.
Right across from the Varscona Theatre, near the site of Strathcona's original fire hall, you'll find "The Rescue." A firefighter is near the top of the ladder, reaching up towards a window, where a girl waits to be saved from the flames. Danek Mozdzenski, who sculpted the likeness of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson that's displayed on Ottawa's Parliament Hill and won a $1-million commission to sculpt Sir Isaac Brock at the university which bears his name, created "The Rescue."
Across the sidewalk from the sculpture, you will find a series of plaques that commemorate 25 Edmonton firefighters who died in the line of duty. Those names include Murray Clark and Ralph Hopp, who both died on what was one of the most tragic days in the history of Edmonton firefighting. Both were killed fighting a blaze at J.J. and Friends Discotheque on August 15, 1976. According to newspaper reports from that time, 85 people were evacuated after a fire in the club's office burned out of control. The building could not be saved.
The memorial also shows the cumulative dangers of firefighting. Of the 25 names, 19 died from cancer; all of these deaths were at least partially blamed to the smoke and other carcinogens inhaled by firefighters while on duty.
The statue is maintained by the Edmonton Firefighters Memorial Society, which was formed 20 years ago. Once a year, the Society organizes a memorial ceremony for fallen firefighters. The statue is part of a plaza that honours firefighters. The plaques are located nearby, as are a series of park benches that feature images of different fire engines throughout the years. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdo85qYVBSIiKtZh7 | In this 17th installment for the City of Rookroost we take a look at the gods worshiped in the city. Once again thanks to everyone that have given me inspiration from Nigel Findley, Erik Mona, Gary Holian, Sean K. Reynolds, Frederick Weining, Casey Brown, and all the fabulous BK authors and lastly Gygax himself.
The Gods in Rookroost
The influence of the gods in the Flanaess runs deep, and Rookroost is no exception to this. However, the city is not dominated by any one specific god or pantheon but instead is a cherry-picked assortment of gods that suits the city. While the worship of gods in Rookroost is common, actual temples to them are not. Most services are held wherever they can find space. Below is a list of the most widely worshiped gods in the city, although they are far from the only ones.
Istus - The goddess of fate found root in the city early on and is considered one of the most widely worshiped gods in the city, but not in the traditional means. Early on in the cities founding their were a couple of Istus priests that found their way there, and one of the priests had the idea of accepting donations from the bandits to ensure that fate did not turn against them during their raids.
Through the influence of Isutus herself, or by simple dumb luck, those that donated to the priests seemed to have better luck avoiding trouble. Contributing to the priests soon caught on and quickly became a well-established superstition that remains to this day.
The priests put their growing fortune to good use and broke ground on one of the first temples in the city, and there has been a temple of Istus in the city ever since. Despite the temples' wealth and influence, the priests did little to throw around their weight in attempts to influence local government. They adhered instead to the doctrine that everyone's fate is in the hands of the goddess, and there is little that can be done to change that.
Hextor - The second most visible religion in Rookroost is that of Hextor. Many who conduct their raids into other lands perform them like military operations instead of marauding like a horde. These bandits gravitated toward the worship of Hextor. With the grand Hextorian temple of the Midlands just across the Artonsomay river from Rookroost, the religion was heavily represented.
While the Worship of Hextor is widespread and one of the few religions with an actual temple, it was still a small temple until the Iuzians destroyed the Midlands' grand temple. While a significant number of their followers died on the battlefield, there were still sufficient numbers that escaped and made their way to Rookroost to swell the numbers of the priests and acolytes in the city.
With the influx of the Hextorians from the Midlands, the temple has seen a drastic overhaul. It has undergone several renovations turning the fortified temple into an actual fortress in preparations for the next round of fighting against the Iuzians.
Kurell - If there is one god that embodies the spirit of Rookroost, it is Kurell. This Oeridian god of Jealousy, revenge, and theft was worshiped amongst the bandits that founded Rookroost far before the rise of the temple of Istus. Kurell is also considered a more influential god than any other in the city. While many worship Kurell, the church within the city is less influential than the Church to Istus or Hextor because of its doctrine. Priests of Kurell are often too busy plotting against one another to organize the temple to influence local politics.
Despite the church's fractured state, they have the third-largest temple in Rookroost. As well as being a place where followers come to seek their god's assistance in their mischievous deeds, the temple has become a place where like minded individuals come to make contacts. The temple is not a place for recruit brigands, but instead for swapping information on who is buying what types of stolen goods and who is bribing who.
Art by Vince Locke
Zilchus - The temple of Zilchus is a small affair and has moved inside the Merchant League compound at the blessing of Serinar since the Iuzian invasion. Most of those that worshiped at the temple being the merchants that lived or traveled to Rookroost for business. The temple's use is permitted to guilded citizens during business hours but is closed when the Merchant's Leauge compound is closed for the night.
Rudd - Rudd is another widely worshiped deity in Rookroost but has no temple dedicated to her, but there is a covered alter to her in the Inner-city. A handful of priests to Rudd take care of the alter and collect the odd coppers left behind by worshipers for good luck. The donations are then used to help maintain the alter, and there is talk of eventually erecting a proper temple, but this talk has been going on for nearly twenty years.
Ralishaz - The worship of Ralishaz is popular in the city. Many of the bandits and brigands pay homage to the god either in helping them sow the seeds of chaos or in attempts to appease the gods from causing confusion in their riads. There are a handful of priests in the city, but as expected of a god of chaos, there is no organization to speak dedicated to the god's worship.
Nerull - There have been temples to Nerull in Rookroost in the past, and there is a small one in the City of the Dead, the city's cemetery, but there is none within the city itself. In the past, the temples of Nerull seemed to follow the same pattern of attracting those fascinated with the dead or just plain evil types that were more interested in seeing others suffer. This, needless to say, even in a city like Rookroost, eventually brings them into conflict with those that wish for a more orderly and stable city.
The last temple, located in Outwall, was ransacked and burned to the ground by several Outwall gangs in retribution for their stealing citizens of Outwall for sacrifices. This interfered with the gang's business, so the temple was torn down, and all the priests and acolytes were killed.
Wee Jas - Wee Jas has a small following in the city, and a temple exists to the goddess in the City of the Dead. The bulk of those who work in the City of the Dead and the Night Merchants worship Wee Jas. The Council of Lords encourages this as they are afraid of what might happen if the City of the Dead fell under the total control of priests of Nerull.
Iuz - Even before the war and the Bandit Kingdoms' invasion, there were a few worshipers of Iuz sprinkled throughout the city. Some acted as spies for the Old One, and others just identified with his commitment to deceit, pain, and oppression. Since the war, the worship of Iuz has risen dramatically.
A temple to Iuz was erected and staffed by priests loyal to the Old One as a sign of loyalty. These priests are in direct communication with Iuz and keep him informed of all the city's goings-on.
Despite attempts by the priests of Iuz, they have yet to win over many converts from the local population that still look upon them as invaders. Mortoth himself rarely deals with them directly unless he is commanded to by Iuz himself.

BkiUewjxK4tBVicoENzj | Q: C - Data not received by serial device I am using C to open a serial device and send/receive data to/from it. Receiving works without a problem, but any data I send does not reach the device. I open the device like this:
int open_tty() {
int fd = open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_CLOEXEC);
struct termios config;
cfsetispeed(&config, B38400);
cfsetospeed(&config, B38400);
config.c_cflag &= ~PARENB;
config.c_cflag &= ~CSTOPB;
config.c_cflag &= ~CSIZE;
config.c_cflag |= CS8;
tcsetattr(fd, TCSANOW, &config);
return fd;
}
...
write(fd, data, length)
...
According to strace, everything works just fine:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
ioctl(3, TCGETS, {B38400 -opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B38400 -opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, TCGETS, {B38400 -opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
write(3, "some data.......", 16) = 16
However, the device does not receive any data (it should send an ACK packet). If I do the same thing in python, everything works just fine:
s=serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600*4)
s.write('some data.......')
strace:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
ioctl(3, TCGETS, {B38400 -opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, TCGETS, {B38400 -opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, TCGETS, {B38400 -opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, TIOCMBIS, [TIOCM_DTR]) = 0
ioctl(3, TIOCMBIS, [TIOCM_RTS]) = 0
ioctl(3, TCFLSH, TCIFLUSH) = 0
write(3, "some data.......", 16) = 16
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
As @abarnert suggested, I set the DTR and RTS bits and flushed the buffer:
char rts = TIOCM_RTS;
char dtr = TIOCM_DTR;
ioctl(fd, TIOCMBIS, &dtr);
ioctl(fd, TIOCMBIS, &rts);
tcflush(fd, TCIFLUSH);
This led to the following additional syscalls being dispatched directly before the write call:
ioctl(3, TIOCMBIS, [TIOCM_DTR|TIOCM_DSR|0x200]) = 0
ioctl(3, TIOCMBIS, [[TIOCM_RTS|0x30200}) = 0
ioctl(3, TCFLSH, TCIFLUSH) = 0
However, I still don't get any ACK packet back from the device.
The device is a VirtualRobotix GPS uBlox 8 (http://www.virtualrobotix.it/index.php/en/shop/gps/3dr-gps-ublox-8-542015-11-30-13-35-34_-detail) connected using a USB to serial converter.
A: Hmmmm, I'm afraid you have not followed the correct procedure in setting termios parameters. First you must use tcgetattrs(3) to get the actual configured parameters (and to initialize the termios structure, otherwise uninitialized to garbage in your code, as you have declared it as an automatic variable), then you change what you want, and finally you set the desired configuration.
The correct procedure is:
struct termios param;
res = tcgetattrs(fd, ¶m); /* VERY IMPORTANT: first get the actual parameters */
if (res < 0) {
perror("tegetattrs");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
cfsetispeed(¶m, B38400);
cfsetospeed(¶m, B38400);
param.c_cflag &= ~PARENB;
/* ... all the needed configuration. */
/* and finally. */
res = tcsetattrs(fd, ¶m);
if (res < 0) { /* error */
perror("tcsetattrs");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
(Also, it's common to check the return value res for errors)
as the manual page termios(3) says in relation to setting the line speed:
Line speed
The baud rate functions are provided for getting and setting the values
of the input and output baud rates in the termios structure. The
new values do not take effect until tcsetattr() is successfully
called.
Setting the speed to B0 instructs the modem to "hang up". The actual
bit rate corresponding to B38400 may be altered with setserial(8).
The input and output baud rates are stored in the termios structure.

BkiUdHg4uzlhfiRYE62u | Alcohol consumption and age of maternal menopause are associated with menopause onset
David J. Torgerson*, Ruth E. Thomas, Marion K. Campbell, David M. Reid
Applied Medicine
Objectives: To examine whether a number of nutritional and familial factors were associated with menopausal development. Methods: A prospective postal survey amongst a random sample of 1227 women aged 47 to 51 who were premenopausal in a cross-sectional survey 2 years previously. Women were classed into three groups: premenopause (regular menstruation); irregular menstruation; postmenopausal (absence of menstrual cycle for at least 6 months). Proportional odds regression was used to identify those factors which were independently predictive of subsequent menopausal development. Results: There was an 80% (n = 983) survey response rate. After exclusion of current HRT users (n = 178), 150 (19%) women were postmenopausal 277 (34%) had erratic menstruation and 378 (47%) were premenopause. There were significant univariate associations between menopausal status and age (P < 0.001), age of maternal menopause (P = 0.006), alcohol consumption (P = 0.005) and social class (P = 0.03). Maternal age and alcohol consumption were significantly correlated with estradiol levels (r = 0.45, P = 0.02, and r = 0.61, P = 0.02 for maternal age and alcohol consumption, respectively). In proportional odds regression analysis, age, maternal menopausal age, alcohol consumption and smoking were independently associated with menopausal status. Conclusions: These results suggest that, (1) there is a strong familial association in menopausal age, and (2) moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with delayed menopausal development.

Titanic Chronology April 14-16 1912
April 14, 2019 Mark Taylor
1. Titanic struck the iceberg at 11:40 pm ship time on 14 April 1912. The night was moonless and the sea calm with temperatures at or below freezing. Titanic was moving quickly but did not see the iceberg until it was nearly upon them. An attempt to steer around it resulted in a collision on Titanic's starboard side. The iceberg would puncture Titanic enough so that the first five compartments would flood. Since the compartments were not totally sealed all the way up, water would go from one compartment to the other making her sink at the bow.
2. Titanic would transmit signals by wireless telegraph, Morse lamp, and rockets. The ship nearest by most accounts was SS Californian. Her telegraph operator turned off his equipment at 11:30 pm and never heard the distress calls. Questions linger to this day whether or not they saw Titanic or her rockets being fired. The RMS Carpathia received the SOS and its captain, Arthur Rostron, immediately ordered to proceed directly to the last known coordinates to locate survivors despite having to navigate a dangerous ice field on a moonless night.
3. Titanic would sink on 15 April 1912 at 2:20 am. Although Titanic met the British Board of Trade regulations and exceeded it for the number of lifeboats required, it did not have enough for the full complement of passengers and crew. As a result over 1,500 men, women, and children would had no means of escape from the sinking ship.
RMS Carpathia (date unknown)
4. Carpathia arrives at 4:10 am to rescue survivors who were in lifeboats or able to reach them. 710 survived the initial sinking but the final tally would be 705 due death from freezing cold. SS California would arrive later but would find no survivors. At 12 noon Carpathia sounded her horns and began heading back to New York.* It was the moment that many wives knew for certain their husbands had perished.

*SS Carpathia was on her way to Fiume then part of Austria-Hungary in the Adriatic Sea. Today the city is Rijeka and major city in Croatia owning to its deep port and cultural significance.

Titanic Sunk
Front Page, New York Herald, 15 April 1912

Initial reporting in American newspapers was a mixture of wishful thinking, press statements from White Star, and jumbled messages that conveyed the disaster was not that bad. Headlines blared the following:
ALL TITANIC PASSENGERS ARE SAFE (Baltimore Evening Sun, 15 April)
ALL SAVED FROM TITANIC AFTER COLLISION (New York Evening Sun 15 April)
And news reports indicated Titanic was being either towed to Halifax or to New York. It turns out though that another ship in distress, an oil tanker being towed to port, got mixed in with reports about Titanic. Wireless messages were constantly being bounced about, were often short, and since Morse code was used easy to mix up things before sending the message forward. And that is what essentially happened. The New York Times was the first to report it correctly. After three days of listening to messages and doing research, managing editor Carl Van Anda realized that no messages had been transmitted by Titanic since its distress calls. Their late edition would read:NEW LINER TITANIC HITS AN ICEBERG;SINKING BY THE BOW AT MIDNIGHT. Other newspapers would be forced to report it as well.

I wanna tell you about my garage door.
I live in north New Jersey, and we have a garage outside our house.
We never park our cars there.
We mostly use it to store outdoorsy toys for our kids.
the garage door opener freezes.
turn the garage door opener from automatic to manual.
When spring arrives, I switch the door opener back to automatic.
What I just described to you is a problem and a bypass for solving it.
The problem is that my garage door opener keypad freezes over wintertime.
talk with my landlord, have him send a technician to fix it and so on.
Yet I'm not doing that for some reason.
I don't care enough about this problem to properly solve it.
A problem, therefore, is defined by two components.
One, the gap between current and desired state.
And two, how much the problem owner wants to do something about it.
the most important questions you ask yourself when you have an idea.
Do people need my product?
is figuring out the problem your product idea solves.
Life is too short for you to work on a product that doesn't matter.
You don't have time to work on the wrong product.
it is most likely that your business fails.
you'll be taking a huge risk.

What these entrepreneurs do sounds very reasonable.
if they think it's useful, if they'll pay for it, and how much they'll pay for it.

why their beautiful so-called validated creation is crashing to the ground.
that can help your product solve a real problem people care about.
Before we move on, let me just quickly define what user research is.
their perspectives and their abilities to the right people at the right time.
User research technique can help answer three types of questions.

BkiUdis5qdmDNenr0Bpc | Four young people had ecstasy factory - convicted in Gothenburg District Court
Four young people are convicted by the Gothenburg District Court for having participated in the manufacture of ecstasy tablets, which were pressed into machines imported from China.
A man is sentenced to five and a half years in prison for serious drug offenses and serious drug trafficking. The woman he has been cohabiting receives four years in prison for serious drug crime.
Two other men are sentenced to two years in prison for serious drug offenses.
The quartet's operations have been described as a small drug factory. It was discovered after Customs looked at a consignment and found equipment used to make tablets.
- Pillers are not illegal to introduce. But they are unusual, so they caught our interest, Bertil Weingarten, project manager at the Customs Crime in Gothenburg, told TT.
Customs allowed the shipment into the country. But at the same time, an extensive search was initiated, which eventually led to the arrest of the four convicted persons.

BkiUdGU4uzlha6mQo16e | Wednesday's throughout the season we will be posting our Mid-Major Top-25 Rankings, highlighting the 25 best non-power conference teams, along with some mid-major notes.
Week 12 began with a shocker in the mid-majors, as Buffalo was upset when they traveled to Northern Illinois. The Bulls lost just their second game of the season on a buzzer-beating lay-up from the Huskies.
Vermont dropped a game to UMBC at home, but they were without their best player Anthony Lamb, who is obviously very important to the Catamounts. However, in their next game, they put on a clinic without Lamb, beating Stony Brook by 21 on the road.
Texas State pulled off a shocker and beat Georgia State on the road to split the series for the season and take first place in the Sun Belt, but to end the week they fell to Georgia Southern.
Belmont went into Murray State with a game plan to shut down Ja Morant, and they executed to defeat the Racers and get back into the hunt in the Ohio Valley. They also beat Austin Peay on the road to cap off a fantastic week.
North Texas lost at home to UAB to open up a four-way tie for first place in the C-USA.
UCSB got absolutely throttled when they traveled to CS Fullerton, losing by 21.
Bucknell dropped a game on the road in the Patriot League, losing to American and opening up a tie for first place with Army and Lehigh.
Fresno State was starting to look like an at-large NCAA Tournament team, but after losing to Colorado State on Saturday, those hopes for the Bulldogs are slim.
Old Dominon dropped out of the log jam in first place of the Conference-USA by losing to UTSA on a record-breaking comeback from the Roadrunners.
Furman suffered a hurtful loss at home, falling to Samford.
Marshall, who upset Wichita State in the NCAA Tournament, was absolutely embarrassed on Saturday, losing by 50 points to Southern Miss in a shocking game in the C-USA.
Montana held down their home floor and beat Weber State to create a three-way tie in the Big Sky for first.
San Fran lost to San Diego, which may take them out of the conversation for an at-large bid to the big dance.
Penn has beat two power conference teams in their last two games, beating Temple last week and St. Joes this week, but they still remain out of the mid-major rankings by one spot because they lost to Princeton twice.
Lipscomb puts a strangle hold on the Atlantic-Sun with a dominant 79-59 victory over Liberty, who was the only other team in the conference that was undefeated along with the Bison. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

idont have so much experiance, sory if its stupid question .
so this geting some data from another solution and return list how can i get this list to client with breeze ?

BkiUdtE5qdmB6xJ6-vYo | I've learned that I like pasta. Before this blog, I used to hate pasta. I'm afraid to admit that part of the reason I did not like pasta was because I could not cook the pasta. I always failed.
I'm serious. Every single time I tried to make spaghetti or any kind of boxed noodle, it somehow turned out like crap. I had issues with stovetop ramen for a while in college. It's pretty pathetic to think about how excited I was on the night that I "mastered" the 3 minute preparation for stovetop ramen.
Anyway, I've learned that I like pasta. However, I do not like your typical pasta with marinara and meatballs. That is where I run into a problem. I prefer to have a "fancy pasta" meal. This is how I will describe my pasta dishes from here on. Fancy pasta.
For some reason, fancy pasta appeals to me. When I think of a good pasta meal, I think of olive oil, oregano, basil, shrimp, chicken... Yummy ingredients that pair really well with a nice glass of white wine. I think of Italy. Sadly, I've never been to Italy. So, when I envision my happy "italian restaurant experience," I picture myself sitting in "France" in Epcot. ???? I don't get it either. It's strange, but whatever. It keeps me happy.
Add this recipe to the fancy pasta top-ten list. This stuff was incredible! I made some variations to the recipe because I did not want to make a whole pound of pasta for 2 people. The original recipe also called for some zucchini but I left that out. You can check out the original recipe from the site by clicking the link below.
This meal only took about 20 minutes to make. And, this meal is a must try.
Add the sausage and cook for 2-3 minutes until beginning to brown.
Add the zucchini, roasted pepper and garlic.
Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the wine and stock and bring to a boil.
Lower heat to medium and simmer until slightly reduced.
I grew impatient for the sauce to reduce. It wasn't and this might've had something to do with too much liquid/not enough ingredients. I drained most of the liquid but reserved about 1/4 cup before I proceeded to step #8. It still tasted delicious!
Toss in the cooked pasta, basil and cheese.
Sprinkle with kalamata olives, if desired.
I'm starting to feel a bit "soft" in the middle. This is not a good feeling. Normally, running sheds those unwanted areas in a jif. Cycling outdoors can normally take care of anything within 2 days. However, it's still freezing out so no outdoor biking (unless I want to kill myself on the 2 inches of ice on our roads). Plus, I've been taking it easy since the Goofy's Challenge. My body needs the rest to recover from the stress I gave it a few weekends ago. I've been attending my normal spin classes, kickboxing, strength training and doing pilates, but it's not the same... *Sigh.
Fortunately, 18 weeks of Half-Ironman training commences this Monday. Phew.
But, "my recovery period" is no excuse for my eating habits. Honestly, I've slacked with intuitive eating. I've grabbed chocolate moreso than normal. And, I'm stressed. I'm stressed because of effing school. It's ALREADY taking its toll on my sleep and eating habits. However, the second that training starts, I hope to be back on board within a week.
Tonight I decided to make up some chicken caesar pitas. Technically, they are chicken caesar "lite" because I use the "lite" pre-packaged mix. You can basically use any wrap/pita bread that you want. I love the Flat-Out variety. They are incredibly good and I probably eat a wrap 6/7 days for lunch. I've used them for pizza before. They are so easy to pile veggies in and take on the run! Plus, they have tons of awesome recipes on their site for different kinds of wraps.
Get your wrap/pita and pile on!
Mix 3 oz. shredded chicken with about 1 tbsp of caesar dressing from bag.
Slice up some grape tomatoes and layer on top of chicken.
Drizzle about 1.5 tsp of caesar dressing over chicken.
Sprinkle cheese, if desired and croutons for a crunch!
Someone was moody because they did not get any Fancy Feast tonight. Someone is starting to get a little bit spoiled... and "soft" in the middle. So, someone is also going to need to slim down and lay off the Fancy Feast.
Tonight was a leftover night. Ron was eating the soup, so I decided to make myself up a salmon salad. It's fantastic!
I'm a big fan of making hearty, but healthy, salads. This flavor combination may not seem good to you, but I can assure you that it's the perfect mix of veggies and saltiness. The rice, olives and salmon make the lettuce so flavorful that I don't even use dressing.
I always use the No-Name brand salmon fillets. I fell in love with these a while back and I always have them on hand. They can be a bit pricey ($17.99 for 4 fillets) but I always pick up a few boxes when they go on sale at our local stores (for $9.99). I'll stock up and by the time I need replenished, they are normally on sale again :) They are around 270 calories (or probably closer to 300 thanks to the FDA's 20% rule). With the rice and depending on what else you add, you can easily keep this hearty meal under 500 calories. Fortunately, salmon has the "good fats" too so you get your Omega-3's.
This is one of my favorite salads to whip up for an individual meal.
Place lettuce, veggies, olives and cheese into individual salad bowl.
Add rice to your salad bowl.
Add salmon to your salad bowl.
Cut salmon into salad. Mix and Enjoy!
I often forget about my crockpot, but I've designated Thursdays as the official crockpot night. Hopefully this thing gets used more often!
Unfortunately, there is no picture of the finished product. This is because we ate it all and I was so hungry that I forgot to spare 2 seconds to take a picture!
I found a simple crockpot recipe for Thai inspired pork and decided to sub in chicken for the pork. The recipe said that you could serve this over rice. However, I decided to use the rice to make up a wrap sandwich and came up with a delicious wrap for dinner!
As mentioned above, there is no picture of the finished product. I am unable to eat on Thursdays due to school so I come home ravenous. I didn't even take my jacket off before I started fixing up my food. In my defense, crockpots make the entire apartment smell good (including the hallway) so I was pretty dang hungry by the time I got inside.
This wrap was incredible! I mixed up the chicken, heated up one of the 60 second rice bowls, pulled out a wrap, sprinkled some chow mein noodles/peanuts on top and had a meal. My side was a buttload of carrots. Seriously, this is incredible. Try it!
Remove pork (or chicken) from the crockpot and shred.
Add peanut butter to liquid in cooker, stir to combine, then return meat to the cooker and toss so the sauce coats the meat.
Add additional items: Sprinkle some chow mein noodles, peanuts, cashews, green onion, chopped yellow onion, etc. Whatever flavor you want. Ron added some hot sauce, but said the peanuts made it the best.
I'm still baking. It's hard to stop once I've started. I had the ingredients on hand and I've had this recipe bookmarked for several, several months. Besides, it's not too bad if you only eat a tiny smidge and then pass it on. Ron will be taking 98% of these with him to work tomorrow.
These are pretty good! Then again, when does anything considered a "baked good" never not taste good? If you find something, let me know. However, I doubt I'll be making them again. There are other goodies to try that turn out much better.
I've been experimenting with everything lately. Why not try my hand at home-made Twix bars? There are 3 steps to making the millionaire bars. It pretty much involves: 1) making cookies, 2) heating up milk and 3) melting chocolate. They are called millionaire bars because of their rich flavors.
I decided just to use the short-cut method for step #2 and used store-bought Dulce de Leche. I initially started with the condensed milk and subsequently realized that it might turn disastrous. I kept hearing whistles coming from the pot. No thank you.
You can find Dulce de Leche at most grocery stores.
Preheat oven to 350* and lightly grease a 9 x 9 baking pan.
Stir in the flour just until the dough begins to come together in walnut-sized chunks.
Press the dough into the prepared pan and bake 20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Begin the filling as soon as the crust goes into the oven.
Pour the milk into a heavy saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring often, 60-90 minutes, until golden brown.
Alternately, cook the caramel in a double boiler, covered, stirring occasionally (every 15 minutes or so).
The only difference in the methods is the amount of attention given the caramel and the tools needed.
When thick and deep golden, spread caramel evenly over cooled crust and refrigerate until caramel is cool and set.
If using Dulce de Leche, once shortbread has cooled, heat the caramel (in microwave or double boiler) and pour it over the cookie base.
Melt the chocolate and butter slowly over low heat and spread over the cooled caramel layer.
Sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate.
Slice and enjoy. Store the bars, covered, in the fridge.
I decided to use a different snickerdoodle recipe than Mom's. I felt guilty doing it, but I've been on a quest to find the *ultimate* recipe for your standard cookies (Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Sugar, etc.) and this one tops the list! Ron referred to them as "the best snickerdoodles I've ever made."
These cookies are unbelievably good. I left them in for 8 minutes, 15 seconds and removed them instantly to cool on wire racks. You really only have to leaves these in the oven just until they set. They finish cooking on the wire racks. They have a wonderful cake center and are so buttery and delish! I'm glad I waited to have my "marathon dessert" until now. Yum!
Note: I've made snickerdoodles in the past and added cinnamon baking chips to the batter. These are technically called "cinna-doodles." To make cinna-doodles, add 1/2 bag of cinnamon baking chips to the batter after you've blended the dry ingredients into the wet. Trust me, they make them taste even better!!
Yield: 48 cookies (or 24 if you cut the recipe in half) The recipe that follows is for a full batch, however it can easily be cut.
Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl; then blend in the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt into the wet ingredients. Mix just until blended.
Mix the 3 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon.
Remove immediately from baking sheets or...as immediately as possible.
I had noticed an unfortunate trend in my recent blog posts. There was no baking! While it was probably good for my waistline, it was not good for my soul or mental focus. Today is a baking day; bagels and cookies! There was so much leftover soup that tonight's planned dinner can wait another night. However, I must bake!!
I've always wanted to make my own bagels. I am a huge fan of buying purchased bagels and freezing them, but I've wanted to test my own ability to bake up my favorite breakfast treat. I found a good recipe for cinnamon raisin bagels online and bookmarked it. I had a lot of time to kill today (aka a lot of time to put off schoolwork) and made these up.
The were actually pretty easy to make. I only swore about 3 times when kneading the dough. That's about 35 times less than normal, so I must've been doing OK (or my Disney calm was still with me). I might add more cinnamon next time, but overall these are delicious!!
Plan to devote a lot of time (about an hour) towards prepping them.
Whisk lukewarm water, 1/4 cup brown sugar, honey, yeast and oil in a large bowl until the yeast dissolves.
Stir in whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, salt and the raisins.
Stir in enough of the bread flour to make a soft dough, about 2 1/2 cups.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead, gradually incorporating more flour, until the dough is smooth and quite firm, 10 to 12 minutes.
Cover with a clean cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 even (good luck) pieces. Roll each piece into a 10-inch-long rope. Form bagels by overlapping the ends by 1 inch. Pinch together firmly.
Set the bagels aside, uncovered, to rise until slightly puffy, about 20 minutes.
To prep for kettle & bake bagels (while bagels are rising): Preheat oven to 450°F. Line 1 large or 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper. Bring 6 quarts water and 2 tablespoons brown sugar to a boil in a large pot.
To Kettle after rising: Slip several risen bagels at a time into the pot. (The water should be at a lively simmer.) Cook for 45 seconds, turn them over with a slotted spoon or tongs and cook for 45 seconds longer. Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and drain on a clean kitchen towel.
Place on the prepared baking sheet(s). Brush with egg white.
Place the bagels in the oven, reduce heat to 425° and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the bagels over and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
I was craving a good soup recipe but I did not want to make the same minestrone recipe I make all the time. I had bookmarked a minestrone soup recipe that used potatoes not too long ago so I decided to try it out.
I did not purchase a fennel bulb so I left that out. I also mistakenly used a can of tomatoes that were entirely crushed (not just slightly) so I didn't have the tomato chunks in the soup that I would have preferred. Lastly, I did not include the red wine vinegar. I only have apple cider and figured that might make the soup taste disgusting.
I added a few carrots and used Barilla WW small shells for the pasta. Overall, it turned out pretty good but it made a ton of soup! Looks like I'll be eating soup for lunch over the next few days.
Serve with some hearty bread and enjoy!
Yield: A LOT! But, the site says 6-8 servings.
Add onion, celery, fennel, potatoes and garlic.
Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and their juices, stock and cannellini beans; season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in vinegar and Swiss chard; season with salt and pepper.
Prepare the pasta to al dente by following the directions included with the pasta.
Divide pasta evenly between bowls.
Ladle soup over the pasta and garnish with cheese.
I made these on New Year's Day. Normally, I would've eaten pork and sauerkraut. However, last year I made pork and sauerkraut and did not have a lucky year (at least not in terms of overall mood and athletics) so I chose to embark on a different path this year. I was stumped on what to make but Ron said "how about chicken enchiladas?"
Me - "What do you want for dinner tonight?"
Ron - "I don't care."
Me - "You have no suggestions?"
Ron - "I'll probably just have cereal."
Me - "We're out of milk. I guess I'll have to go to the store to buy you some."
Then, I go to the store and end up spending $50 for a carton of milk. But, usually I come away with enough ingredients to make something for dinner and he eats it. However, it's still a battle to get him to talk about what he wants. Considering I'm trying to experience new foods, this is often frustrating because I can only come up with so many "Ron-friendly" foods that I will also enjoy.
So, I was very excited to hear him make a suggestion and I was definitely not going to turn it down. Ironically, I had most of the ingredients for this recipe. The only thing I needed were the corn tortillas. Fortunately, the trip to the SuperTarget only cost me $12 (despite the corn tortillas costing $2). This was impressive and I am proud of myself.
I've never had enchiladas before. Anything smothered with cheese doesn't appeal to me. Then I realized that I could control the cheese portion. I'm not sure why these enchiladas are deemed "healthier" but I followed the recipe pretty closely. I did not use nearly as much cheese as included in the recipe, but they still turned out very good. I changed the way the chicken was prepared by cooking it over the stove and then shredding it. So, I did not cook my chicken in the sauce. They still turned out pretty flavorful. My only complaint was the Mission corn tortillas I used kept falling apart as I rolled them. Note to self: don't buy the "extra thin" kind.
Yield: 12 tortillas (if rolled appropriately), serves 6 but Ron ate 10, lol.
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Heat oil over medium heat, add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt in a large saucepan.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the onion has softened, eight to ten minutes.
Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin and sugar and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.
Cook until the sauce has slightly thickened, about five minutes.
**Nestle the chicken into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the thickest part registers 160 degrees on the instant read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
I omitted step #7. I put 3 pieces of chicken breasts in a pot covered with water and cooked in boiling water for about 45 minutes. Once cooked, I shredded the chicken with two forks and went ahead with step #8. It worked well.
Toss together the shredded chicken, ½ cup of the enchilada sauce, one cup of the cheddar, jalapenos, and cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stack the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on high until warm and pliable, 45 seconds. Spread the warm tortillas out over a clean work surface.
Place 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla.
Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling and lay them seam-side down in a 13×9-inch baking dish.
Lightly spray the tops of the enchiladas with vegetable oil spray.
Pour one cup of the remaining sauce over the enchiladas to cover them thoroughly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over the enchiladas.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until the enchiladas are heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese browns, about five minutes longer.
Place extra sauce, lime wedges and sour cream on table along with the hot enchiladas.
This was such an easy recipe to make up and turned out so well. However, I do plan to make it in the future and add some changes to boost the flavor. In my dish, I did not include the capers that were in the original recipe. I think these would have added a really good flavor. I kept sprinkling hot pepper flakes on my pasta (which worked just fine) but I had a light-bulb go off while eating it. Next time, I plan to add some cooked spinach & substitute roasted red pepper feta cheese for the Parmesan cheese. I'll report back with details (though I've included where I'd make the changes) because I think this would taste incredible. Otherwise, this recipe is good as it is with some bread and a side salad. I laid my pasta on some spinach leaves and it worked well.
Cook the pasta in salted, boiling water according to manufacturer directions.
Add the chickpeas and stir to coat.
Drain the pasta, reserving some of the hot water.
Add the pasta to the chickpeas mixture, stir in the cheese (would probably add about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the feta), while adding the pasta water as you mix.
Add more lemon juice/hot sauce to your liking.
I also made some cookies up (and a Neujahrspretzel but who's counting?) for the gathering. Despte the crazy cookie madness that was last week w/ Christmas, I still feel compelled to bake up cookies when I get inspired. I was standing at the grocery store and saw bags of Dark Chocolate Reese's Pieces and Dark Chocolate mini-mint sized york peppermint patties. I got to thinking. I searched for the best PB and M&M recipe I could find. I came up with some slight changes of my own, but the main recipe was from here.
Yield: For full recipe, probably about 40 cookies with a large cookie scoop (I halved and got 20). Measurements in recipe below are for the full recipe.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and shortening together.
Add both sugars and continue to beat until everything is well incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and beat to blend.
Using a large wooden spoon or your hands, add the flour a little bit at a time until there are no white streaks.
Stir in the Reese's Pieces or M&M's & Chocolate (if using) until they are evenly dispersed through out the batter.
Scoop out rounded tablespoonfuls of the dough (I used my large cookie scoop) and place each cookie about 2 inches apart.
If you want, you can make a criss cross pattern with a lightly floured fork.
Allow the sheets to cool for 5 minutes before removing the cookies.
CAUTION: These cookies are amazing. Then again, I've never really had any problems eating any type of cookie. The sea salt, dark chocolate and PB combo is to die for. You must eat one with a cold glass of milk! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdSQ5qoTAooKPOU-_ | Hi, I want to ask about the commanders.
I just recently registered my email, and you guys give me supply drop money. I notice the Defensive Doctrine was shown by others on Steam that it came after they registered their email. So I want to ask, if the defensive doctrine still work like that or it was changed.
I also see there are commanders attach with the case Blue and Victory at Stalingrad pack. But I don't see it, and I bought it for some time now. Do I need to finished some % of the pack to get it or something else?
AFAIK you don't get any commanders for free anymore. You get the supply money and you can buy them with that. This goes for all commanders, both the defensive doctrine as the ones which used to be attached to the mission packs. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdII5qoTAhudwx6wB | Kernel Security Support Provider Interface Packages by Microsoft Corporation.
KSecPkg is a kernel device driver. In Windows 7 it is being loaded by Boot Loader before Kernel initialization. If KSecPkg fails to load, Windows 7 attempts to write the error data into Event Log and restart the computer, using the Last Known Good configuration. If the Last Known Good configuration is not valid, Windows 7 startup ends with a Stop error. If you remove or disable the KSecPkg service, Windows 7 won't start.
The KSecPkg service is using the ksecpkg.sys file that is located in the %WinDir%\System32\Drivers folder. If the file is changed, damaged or deleted, you can restore its original version from Windows 7 installation media. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

I was diagnosed with two brain tumors in the fall of 2007. This is my 10th year walking with Race for Hope in support to find a cure for brain tumors.
We walk in honor of many Friends, Survivors. In honor of Ava Conklin and in memory of our heros, Hunter Dean Scott, Caray Keen, William Edwards and many others.
I began particing in Race for Hope since 2009 in honor of Hunter Dean Scott. In June 2008 Hunter was diagnosed with a Supratentorial PNET brain tumor. After a 3 year battle against cancer, Hunter became our angel on July 2, 2011. This year, we walk in his memory, this year he walks with us in spirit.
Ava Claire is a bright, funny, charming big sister who adores soccer, reading, and acting and singing on stage. She was seemingly healthy until she started developing headaches and vomiting, primarily in the mornings. On October 20, 2011, Ava was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We rushed to the hospital and were quickly admitted, as the tumor was almost completely blocking the third ventricle in her brain. By October 24, she had endured an 11-hour, complicated brain surgery. On October 31, she developed a rare case of meningitis in her CSF fluid, and was put into a medically induced coma for 10 days. Unfortunately, she had a series of mini-strokes from the infection. She awoke from her coma unable to swallow, talk, walk or move at all. Fortunately, she could breathe on her own, smile, and communicate through blinking. She's spent time living in an in-patient rehabilitation hospital and was there until the end of February 2012. She slept through her birthday, and was hospitalized for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Throughout it all, Ava has maintained a sense of humor and her beautiful smile fills everyone with joy.
Our hope is that she will someday walk, talk, run and laugh out loud again. She loves to watch videos of her sister and brother, and Justin Bieber always makes her smile. We often talk of taking her to the beach, the American Girl store and Disneyworld, and she grins very big at the thought of that, as well. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUfqw5qhLBxRsIg1Qu | Q: install4j +web service call for authentication I am looking for a windows installer for a java application. It should support custom screen where I can ask for license key to the user. License key will be validated online through a SOAP//REST service.
Can anybody tell me if this is possible and which installer is best suited for this ?
A: I think you Should look at the Oracle Universal Installer
Check this.
A: You have marked the question with install4j, which is a solution that allows you to define a custom screen, see the documentation for more information.
Validating with SOAP/REST will require custom code. You can add required libraries on the Installer->Custom code & Resources tab and add a "Run script" action to enter the Java code directly in the install4j IDE.
Disclaimer: My company develops install4j.

BkiUdO_xaKgQHaLUvD5v | Home » Successful Sports Parenting Channel » Sports Parenting Basics Center » Equipment » Worn Out Shoes: When Should They Be Replaced?
Bottom sole. Look for excess wear on the bottom sole, especially if your child's feet have a tendency to pronate (roll to the inside) or supinate (roll to the outside), which will cause one side to wear more than the other. Dr. Carol Frey, Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at UCLA and Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery at West Coast Sports Performance in Manhattan Beach, California, recommends placing your child's shoes on a flat surface and looking at them from behind. If they roll in or out too much, they are probably worn out. Wear patterns can also be helpful in evaluating an athletes' biomechanics and what shoes may work best for them, says Dr. Phyllis Ragley, past President of the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine ("AAPSM"). Shoes can also become slick and lose traction when the soles and lugs are worn down, so that is something else to keep an eye on.
Mid-sole. According to Dr. Michael Lowe, past President of the AAPSM, shoe wear should not be evaluated primarily by sole wear. The most important wear factor for a running shoe or court shoe, says Lowe, is compression fatigue of the mid-sole material (the material between the sole and the upper leather). Like any compressible material, it has a certain life expectancy, after which fatigue begins to lessen its efficiency and ability to decrease impact forces. Putting athletic shoes on a replacement schedule is recommended.
Sock liner. Check the inside liner of the shoes for areas which may be worn through. This may provide information about places where the shoe was causing excess friction on the child's foot. Be aware of those problem areas when purchasing new shoes.
If after numerous washes the smell just will not disappear, it is time to throw them away. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUc2U4eIXhrsEtjSJG | A rare condition characterized by trichophagia, or the swallowing of one's own own hair, leading to a solid mass that forms in the gastrointestinal tract. The resulting blockage of the gastrointestinal tract may be fatal. The hair forms a solid mass in the digestive tract known as a trichobezoar. It causes abdominal pain and nausea, but can also present as an asymptomatic abdominal mass, progressing to abdominal obstruction and perforation. It is predominantly found in emotionally disturbed or mentally retarded youngsters. We present the youngest case of Rapunzel syndrome in the Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education and Research Hospital, Surat, India, a 7-year-old girl who present with abdominal pain and non-tender abdominal mass.

BkiUd084eIXh8CN2bMYw | Why were we "late"? We went to Entertainmart, and got some DVDs ($3.99...for some pretty decent movies. HHGTTG, Nine Months, and Galaxy Quest were $3.99. Black Stallion, Black Beauty, and Chicken Run were $5.99. Not bad at all!) I'm trying to replace all of the kids' VHS's with DVDs....so, it's a good place to shop. The Disney movies will be harder - they are running $14.99. Need to look around!

BkiUaMnxK03BfHDu1yJ_ | Prekarijum ili prekarija ( - molba) je društveni ugovor koji se počeo sklapati od 4-5. veka između bogatih (magnata) i siromašnih pojedinaca.
Postojala su tri vida prekarijuma:
-{Precaria data}- - siromašni izmoljava od bogatog zemlju da je obrađuje, a u zamenu dobija zaštitu od strane njegove vojske (družine, pratnje). On se obavezuje da će bogatašu koji ga uzima pod zaštitu plaćati porez. Na taj način siromašni pojedinac u potpunosti devalvira svoju slobodu.
-{Precaria oblata}- - siromašni ustupa svoje imanje magnatu u zamenu za zaštitu, bez obaveze plaćanja poreza.
-{Precaria remuneratoria}- ili uzdarje - čovek koji ima imanje odlazi kod magnata, daje mu svoje imanje u zamenu za zaštitu, a magnat mu ga vraća i dodeljuje mu još jedno imanje (ili parcelu) da ga obrađuje.
Prekarije su se sklapale u početku na 5, a kasnije na 10 godina. Ova pojava je uzela maha u vremenu propadanja Rimskog carstva, uporedo sa devalviranjem prava i pravne zaštite. Na osnovu prekarijalnih odnosa formirao se stalež kmetova u Srednjem veku. Crkva, koja je imala ogromne zemljišne posede, takođe je rado davala prekarije i na taj način dodatno uvećavala svoju moć.

Your one-time gift of $43 provides gospel messages to introduce 500 people to Jesus!
Everyone must hear about Jesus. Millions are waiting for the hope that only the Gospel can give. EHC leaders, teams and volunteers serve as messengers of hope in scores of nations on every continent. They go prayerfully, home by home, often braving extremely difficult conditions to reach the lost. The seeds of life and hope they plant produce a harvest, one person at the time.
Chengegai knew that what he was doing was illegal, but it paid well. He drank a lot and visited beerhalls daily. One day an EHC volunteer handed him a gospel message which he stuffed in his pocket, too drunk to read. He found it the next day and read it.

Who is BLS ...?
Meet Harry Xue '14: senior, peer tutor and accomplished musician
"Sumus primi means being a part of over 375 years of history, leadership and excellence. It also serves as a reminder that in order to maintain that distinguished record and continue to excel, BLS has to adapt to meet the changing demands and challenges of the 21st century. BLS offers a world of resources and opportunities which are not available at any other public school. ... The types of opportunities available here are typically only found at private schools, yet BLS manages to continue to offer them. Obviously, none of this is possible without the continued generosity of alumni, parents and friends, and for that I am extremely grateful.
Make your gift to support the teachers and students at BLS today. Learn more about Harry and other members of the BLSA community at our website.
BLS Founder's Day: April 23 (1635 to 2014)
Today we reflect on the 379th anniversary of the founding of Boston Latin School. We offer gratitude to our founders: "To say, 'well done' to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge." - Phillips Brooks, class of 1851. We celebrate dedicated masters and administrators; talented and hard-working students; supportive families, alumni, and philanthropists whose gifts - both large and small - safeguard the BLS legacy. May alma mater continue to serve as a beacon of hope and opportunity in Boston for generations to come!
Another Gold for BLS
Boston Latin earned another gold medal in U.S. News & World Report's 2014 Top High Schools in America ranking. BLS was ranked #56 nationally/#1 in Massachusetts. Latin School is one of the top 500 schools which earned the gold, out of nearly 20,000 public schools nationally. In all, nine BPS schools earned gold, silver or bronze medals. Congratulations to the BLS faculty, staff, students and all who support our amazing school!

Many of Pitts' students and their families - past and present - attended to celebrate the difference he has made for so many young musicians.

BkiUe8k25V5jQ-dgA8AF | India's relations with the West date back to the earliest days of colonization in the 16th century. And they have never been entirely free of tension, even as the dynamics have changed over the past decades. Indians once felt exploited by colonial powers. But now, the sentiment is reversing itself in the wake of the global outsourcing debate. Our Read My Lips explores India as a global force.
In what regard is India truly remarkable?
"Few countries in the developing world have been able to implement such far-reaching reforms within the framework of a parliamentary democracy."
And what may be the main benefit of India's integration into the global economy?
"It is increasingly possible to believe that India will finally be able to conquer its age-old worry over want and hunger."
What factors have made India one of the drivers of globalization?
"The convergence of PCs, telecom and work-flow software allowed India to become part of the global supply chain for services the way China had become for manufacturing."
What is India's most valuable export to the United States?
"The United States imports oil from Saudi Arabia, cars from Japan, TVs from Korea and whiskey from Scotland. So, what do we import from India? We import people — really smart people."
How many of these "really smart people" does India have to offer?
"If you look at India, China and Russia, they all have strong education heritages. Even if you discount 90% of the people there as uneducated farmers, you still end up with about 300 million people who are educated. That's bigger than the U.S. workforce."
How successful have Indian immigrants been in the United States?
"Indians are the 'next Jews' of America. Presently numbering 1.2 million, they have risen to prominence in every walk of life."
Yet, what makes it difficult for Indian immigrants to get a start in countries in the West?
"Western countries are using immigration laws to undermine India's competitiveness."
How does India view these restrictions?
"If the United States feels we must understand their political compulsions, why is it that U.S. politicians or trade negotiators sitting at the table would not understand our political difficulties?"
How can India pool its influence with other emerging market countries?
"India and Brazil can together create a political force able to help change global trade geography to better meet the interests of the planet's poorest people."
Why does India's rapid integration into the global economy pose some challenges?
"What happens when a farmer who does not yet have access to piped drinking water tunes into 'Baywatch'? All of a sudden some of the most remote parts of India are in synch with the West."
What are the social implications of this immersion?
"What will happen if India's old structures of social security decay — without the Western-style version of social security taking their place? Shall we see more private old-age homes for the privileged — and for the poor, more elderly beggars on the streets?"
How has job outsourcing from other countries influenced young Indians?
"They are materialistic — their values are changing."
How, specifically, has technology changed ancient Indian customs?
"The traditional way of finding a husband or wife takes at least three months. On the web, it can take less than one day. It is much easier to qualify — or disqualify — someone online."
Will India benefit from attempts to reduce the cost of new drugs?
"The big pharmaceutical companies say it costs them at least $800 million to develop a new drug. Well, we can do it for $50 million."
What is the potential of India's medical industry?
"If we do this right, we can heal the world."
Is India ready to capitalize on the surge in demand for plastic surgery in the developed world?
"Coming to India for cosmetic surgery is really going to take off, because those procedures are not covered by insurance in the West — and even if you include the cost of an air ticket to India, it is still much cheaper to come here and get it done."
And finally, do movies hold the key to understanding the cultural differences between India and the West?
"We can't compete with Hollywood as far as action — but they can't compete with us in emotions." | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbMk4ukPiENFaWLgk | This application note is concerned with the nature of ECG100C and ECG100C-MRI timing delays. In particular, the focus is on ECG data collected in fMRI or MRI for the express purpose of triggering magnet scans during imaging. This procedure is important when attempting to image physiological processes in synchronization with the heart.
Typically, ECG data is collected via the ECG100C-MRI Amplifier and this data is piped out of an MP System, to drive a Digital Trigger Unit (DTU300), which in turn drives the magnet scanning process, via magnet scan trigger input. This entire process occurs in real time, not subject to any computer processing delay.
Data demonstrates that is practical to collect ECG data in the fMRI or MRI and use that real-time data to reliably trigger a magnet scan. Although generated magnet artifact does not materially impact the ability of the ECG100C-MRI amplifier's output to drive the DTU300 (in this data set), note that a synchronized scan will also be completely devoid of artifact before and after the scan period. Accordingly, so long as blanking is employed on the DTU300, any artifact generated in the ECG data will not affect DTU300 triggering operation, despite possibly egregious artifact in the collected ECG data. | c4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUdcQ5qX_BwR8834Ym | One of the best things about the weather getting colder is huddling in cosy corners in your thickest jumper, sipping a warm cider and snacking on festive treats.
It can sometimes be a mission to find the sort of comfort drink you're after though, so on the suggestion of a friend I've put together a rudimentary list of places that will fulfill all of your winter boozing needs.
Of course the first mention has to go to Bristol's main Christmas Market in Broadmead, which runs until early January and in addition to its covered food village (hog roasts, German sausages and a Yorkshire pudding wrap are among the choices) there is also a Jägerbarn and beer garden – complete with various mulled wine and boozy hot chocolate options.
In a similar vein, the Apres Bar is back in Millennium Square Bristol, serving mulled wine & cider as well as draft beers in an Alpine style bar just by the ice rink, food stalls and fairground rides.
If you don't fancy drinking al fresco, the ultimate winter destination has to be The Rummer, where you can enjoy a mulled wine in front of their roaring fire (they also do a fine line in whisky and rum cocktails if you fancy something a bit stronger).
You can also find some tasty mulled wine at The Old Bookshop in Bedminster and Corks at Cargo, who are serving mulled wine with a dash of port (£4) Friday-Sunday every weekend in the lead up to Christmas.
As for other mulled cider, your first stop should be at the Bristol Cider Shop, who in addition to their usual extensive selection of local ciders, cider brandy and cheese toasties (!) are also doing a damn fine mulled cider (£3) with cider brandy in, yum!
The Apple should also be on your mulled cider hit list – also boasting a ridiculous range of ciders & cider cocktails, they are doing mulled ciders (£4) straight up or with your choice of spirit in, whether it be rum, amaretto or Cointreau.
In addition to the cocktails and mulled wine I mentioned before, The Rummer are also doing a Brandy Blazer during the winter months, a special cocktail made from Cognac which involves a bit of flambé action!
Head over to the snug neighbourhood bar Bristol Spirit in Whitehall for a warm mulled gin or vodka, or you could opt for their True Romance sloe vodka (also available online if you want a tipple at home) or one of their special cocktails.
Alternatively, you can head to St Michael's Hill and nab a mulled G&T at Bristol's very own micro gin distillery, Psychompomp, who as well as this also have their new winter gin available for tasting, alongside some festive events and cocktails.
You can also get a hot G&T at No.1 Harbourside in the centre, who are also doing mulled cider and Hot Toddys – perfect for if you feel a touch of the sniffles coming on. Sister bar The Old Market Assembly will be serving warm cocktails throughout the winter months too.
Playground Coffee are doing a very exciting winter cocktail menu, including Aztec Spicy Hot Chocolate (mezcal, hot chocolate & chilli), Not Just Baileys Hot Chocolate (Baileys, Amaretto, Teelings Irish Whiskey & chocolate), Hot Toddys and Irish Coffees, alongside other cocktail classics and a warm winter special called Architects & Kings (Campari, Wild Turkey Rye, coffee & Angostura Bitters) – phwoar!
Or nab yourself a 'Mary Berry' (Somerset 3yr old cider brandy, sweet vermouth, Aperol & a dash of Angostura bitters) from Bertha's in Wapping Wharf . They describe it as like sitting by an open fire, which sounds good to me.
Hyde & Co. aren't missing out on the festive action either – their Christmassy cocktail is their take on a classic Snow Ball: Martell VS Cognac, spiced sugar syrup, cream, Pimento Dram & a whole egg, shaken hard & served long, finished with lemonade.
Trying to steer clear of alcohol? No probs, there are still plenty of exciting winter warmers for you to work your way through.
My longstanding favourite has the be The Drink That Shall Not Be Named (inspired by a well-known drink from Harry Potter, hence the cryptic name) from At The Well on Stokes Croft, which is like warm liquid Wether's Originals – super sweet and super tasty!
Moving on to chocolate – we're lucky enough to have not one but two dedicated chocolate cafes in Bristol, so these should be top of your list for an indulgent hot chocolate.
Bar Chocolat in Clifton has a range of hot chocolates in addition to their vast menu of all things chocolate related, and you can also choose to have marshmallows, sprinkles or more chocolate on top of your drink (accompanied by chocolate cake, naturally).
I was also recently introduced to arguably the best hot chocolate of my life at Swoon on Park St – they may specialise in top notch gelato, but their hot chocolate is silky smooth and delicious.
Mrs Potts Chocolate House on Park St hasn't been around that long but has already made a name for itself with its seriously good chocolate goodies and hot drinks. Choose from their hot chocolates (made with 100% cocoa) made with milk, dark or white chocolate and topped with toasted homemade marshmallows, or their chocolate chai (I'm a big fan). They also do warm chocolate dipping pots, coffees and a range of teas.
Following the chocolate theme, the cafe at Windmill Hill City Farm in Bedminster has gone for a Candy Cane Mocha – coffee & chocolate with peppermint flavouring and a festive chocolate snowflake design on top, very Christmassy!
Finally, if you find yourself in the vicinity of Easton (although to be honest the food & drink places there are worth a trip in their own right these days), Este Kitchen is doing a Colombian hot chocolate for the sweet-toothed folk, and ginger or vanilla turmeric lattes for the grown ups. Both sound lush, so I'm planning a trip soon!
Of course, in addition to all the places above, Bristol has plenty of lovely cosy coffee shops for you to tuck yourself into, as well as a multitude of cosy pubs.
That's it! Let me know over on Twitter or Facebook where you decide to have a festive beverage, and tell me where I've missed off my list! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on May 20, 2019 - May 26, 2019.
LOOKING at Tenaga Nasional Bhd's current share price, one could say its major shareholder Khazanah Nasional Bhd made the right call to place out a 1.5% stake in the utility group at RM12.33 apiece on April 11 — 2% below its market price on the day before.
This is because the FBM KLCI heavyweight closed at its 40-month low of RM11.58 last Friday. Year to date, the institutional counter had declined 13.29%, outpacing the 5.04% decline in the benchmark index.
Apart from selling by foreign funds and a weaker ringgit, other reasons for the recent sell-off in Tenaga include its lower earnings in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2018 (FY2018).
The company also saw a lower return of 7.3% on its regulated asset base (RAB) under Regulatory Period 2018-2020 (RP2). In RP1 (2014-2017), the allowed rate was 7.5%, but it was estimated to reach 8.9% because Tenaga's distribution network applied a price cap model instead of the current revenue cap model.
The underperformance of Tenaga's investments in Turkey (GAMA Enerji Anonim Sirketi) and India (GMR Energy Ltd) also helped drag down its FY2018 net profit, resulting in impairments of RM1.18 billion.
Viewed against such a background, the company is likely to see some improvement this year, say analysts.
In a May 10 note, UOB Kay Hian estimates a stronger 1QFY2019, based on an expected 5% year-on-year increase in its RAB to RM52.6 billion this year, and in the absence of impairments on its overseas ventures, which have been fully provided for.
This does not take into account around RM300 million of negative non-cash impact on Tenaga's earnings in FY2019 from higher generation, financing and depreciation expenses for its two upcoming power plants under the accounting standard MFRS16 that took effect this year.
Meanwhile, regulatory risks are fewer than anticipated. Tenaga president and group CEO Amir Hamzah Azizan highlighted at the company's latest annual general meeting that deregulation is likely to occur in retail, which forms a small portion of Tenaga's portfolio.
A further announcement by MyPower Corp on power-sector reforms under the Malaysia Electricity Supply Industry 2.0 initiative is expected in the middle of this year at the earliest, but the downside seems limited for now.
Beyond its existing operations, Tenaga sees opportunities for growth in its plan to participate in the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP).
After a successful pilot to utilise its fibre assets to facilitate high-speed broadband in Jasin, Melaka, Tenaga now wants to strengthen its footing in the segment and utilise its nationwide fibre network that is mostly idle at the moment.
Recall that Tenaga had initially planned to join hands with Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) to facilitate the nation's fiberisation agenda, but the memorandum of understanding was terminated, which was welcomed by Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo, who had considered the partnership a monopoly. Now, Tenaga is going it alone.
Broadband: A viable but small venture for Tenaga
Tenaga has a fibre network that spans 16,000km along its electricity grid, which it plans to lease out to end-suppliers using a wholesale model.
The utility group also participates as an end-supplier through its subsidiary City Broadband Sdn Bhd in Jasin, Cyberjaya and Kampung Kerinchi in Kuala Lumpur.
In an interview with The Edge, Amir says the group has identified at least 135,000 homes that are in the vicinity of its existing network with a further extension to 2.6 million homes. In comparison, market leader TM had 2.23 million Unifi subscribers at the end of last year.
"What we do is that regulated business earns a ride-away charge, but we will have to pull and own our own infrastructure to make it separate from the regulated business. That is my cost of investment.
"However, in order to do the whole NFCP, it is likely that there will be some areas for which a commercially viable solution cannot be proposed. We hope that working with [the government], we will be able to have a support mechanism in place so that we can also support these areas with a commercially viable proposition," he explains.
"That's where we are trying to go — to do the commercially viable ones, and get support for those that are not so commercially viable and see whether we can support the NFCP journey and create the next line of business."
Amir adds, "We bring value because we have infrastructure in areas they (the telcos) don't. So, the next expansion is easy for us to do. Economically, it makes sense."
In Budget 2019, the government allocated RM1 billion to roll out NFCP. For the pilot project in Jasin, which involves 1,100 homes, around RM5 million came from Tenaga, according to reports.
The new business segment is expected to contribute positively to the group from FY2020, says Amir, adding that Tenaga has an advantage as the bulk of the required infrastructure is already there.
Analysts not upbeat on proposition
"Even if Tenaga gets 10% of the 2.6 million households for its last-mile service at RM100 per household per month, the revenue is only about RM312 million a year. The wholesale price could be suppressed due to the government's stand on lowering broadband prices under NFCP," a local fund manager points out.
"As the rationale is for Tenaga to utilise its network in less-connected locations, like the rural areas, the question is, is there a viable end-user market to support the business model?" the analyst asks.
On another front, Amir underlines Tenaga's intention to further its investment opportunities in the renewable energy (RE) space overseas to expand its portfolio and capture new talent in the segment.
Locally, the growth of its generation business is limited outside RE, considering the government's intention to reduce the nation's power reserve margin and increase renewable generation capacity to 20%.
But that, too, will be a challenge.
"They are sitting on cash, and there is room for participation in the renewable energy space overseas. But as it is still a nascent market, the scale has been smallish," says an analyst with a local investment house.
"It would be positive if Tenaga could secure a bigger investment overseas — but then again, its track record with Turkey may not create the necessary confidence of execution," the analyst adds, referring to how GAMA Enerji was fully written off due to a challenging operating environment, particularly due to a weak Turkish lira.
As at last Friday, Tenaga had nine "buy", six "hold" and five "sell" calls from the 20 analysts covering the stock, Bloomberg data shows. The target price averaged RM13.84, with only one call below the company's current share price, at RM10.70. The highest target price stood at RM16.
At its current price, is Tenaga a bargain? It is a little too soon to tell, says the analyst with the local investment house.
"If you are banking on the FBM KLCI going up, you should buy Tenaga. I would not buy based on its fundamentals … let's see the full extent of the industry reform and if Tenaga's earnings improve in the first quarter."

BkiUde3xK0zjCrsOAD80 | Is there still a place for physical model making and sketching designs by hand?
I force the people in my studio to sketch sketchsketch and we do a lot of physical models but that doesn't mean we don't use sophisticated techniques. I would differentiate instruments for designing and instruments for visualization. Renderings have to be very good, in way renderings is so life like that sometimes I have the feeling they are like Madame Tussaud wax statues and I rather have a Canova statue, marble or a real person. Renderings today are getting so exceptional that you can almost not tell the difference. I think during the design phases, sketches are much more useful because there is a moment for precision but a moment for non-defined, unmeasured quality.
In your designs there is a use of panels, layering of materials on the façade. Can you talk about this characterization?
In the studio, we don't have a strong specialization; we deal with many different themes, from exhibition design to urban design. In the sense we do housing, offices, the types are very different. Sometimes I think that modernism has an axiom, a continuity of interior of the building and exterior becomes by itself. I think you do need, in an urban situation, some kind of buffer, for example between public and private. In a way we use drawers, the drawers work because they hide whats inside, if everything was transparent there would be disorder and no privacy. We need a buffer between our individual spaces.
The façade of the building is both things: it's an interface between the individual self- the inhabitant and the public realm. When we design large buildings, the skin is also a climatic buffer. Exposing the frame was popular before, today the frame cannot be directly shown because of fire protection, this layer can do many things, weather proofing, insulation, but also they show how to react to the sun. The building façade is like a sundial, when the sun turns, like a painting by Monet, the façade of the building can be as lively as Times Square without moving because the weather moves. To me thats phenomenal, I take responsibility for this quality.
Can you tell us what projects you are currently working on?
We won the competition for the lavazza coffee in Turin; the exceptional thing is not because it is an important company but, the location- a former industrial disused area, next to the center of Turin, an old power plant. So the project consists of one entity, we reunite all the offices of lavazza and the new public garden for the public. There will be a coffee museum, restaurant, event space and also we are experimenting the new workplace, because today, there is more emphasis in the physical office space. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

McGhie, Andrew Roxburgh (1966) Tracer studies in the solid state - Diffusion in hydrogen bonded solids. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.
Ubbelohde has proposed a proton transfer mechanism to explain electrical conductivity studies on a series of crystalline organic acids and it has been suggested that conductivity increases with the decree of co-operative hydrogen bonding in the crystal. Experiments have been carried cat to test this hypothesis by studying the conductivity pad the rate of proton diffusion, using tritium as tracer, in the same single crystals of two organic acids exhibiting different degrees of cooperative hydrogen bonding; benzoic acid which exists as a linear chains of in the solid state and acetic acid which has linear chains of cooperative hydrogen bonds extending through the crystal. The acids were purified by distillation, sublimation and zone refining techniques and single crystals were grown from the melt in a Bridgman own Diffusion was studied by a sectioning technique using tritium labelled benzoic and acetic acids to obtain the hydrogen diffusion rates and carbon-14 labelled benzoic acid used to measure the diffusion coefficient of the bulk molecule. The electrical conductivity of benzoic acid was found to be very low in single crystals being less than 10.

BkiUe8HxK6mkyCfOD5ja | Every species on Earth fills a unique environmental niche that is driven, in part, by the process of environmental filtering, where the adaptive value of the functional traits of individuals determine their fitness within the given environmental conditions. Despite its long-standing importance in ecology, theoretical investigations of environmental filtering have lagged behind studies of species interactions and neutral dynamics. A new statistical model of trait-based environmental filtering can be a useful tool for exploring the logical consequences of this process while holding all other processes constant. The model uses the logic of objective Bayesian inference to compute the probabilities of species within different environments using two sources of information: the location and dispersion of species within functional trait space, and the statistical relationship between traits and environmental gradients. By varying key parameters in the model, we highlight several testable hypotheses for trait-based ecology. First, niche breadth decreases as intraspecific trait variation decreases, as the strength of the environmental filter increases, and if the trait values do not enhance fitness in any environmental condition in the landscape. Second, niche shape is determined by the form of the trait-environment relationships, where species with extreme trait values are predicted to dominate at the environmental extremes when traits are linearly related to the environment, species with intermediate trait values generally have a selective advantage across a broader environmental range, and bimodal species response curves can occur independently from negative species interactions. The generality of these modelling results can be tested using empirical data from any ecosystem. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUaEQ25V5hdn6rO1Vg | Teresa Quilietti was born on June 16th 1916. Daughter of Julio Quilietti and Elizabeth Wilson. She married Sammy Turner and they had two daughters and three sons . One of their daughters, June married Antonio De Placido. This is the Quilietti connection with the family.
Anthony's father was Frances Di Placido and in the late 1890s and 1901 they resided like so many more at No. 89 Grassmarket. This address has many of the family of Italian immigrants connected to it. Here we find Anthony's dad Frances age 7 living here with his Dad also Frances, his mum Paulina and his siblings. The profession of Frances senior is one of Organ Grinder.
The Italians began to arrive on Scottish shores from the late 19th century onwards. For some, it was seen as a stopping point en route to the Americas; for others they were recruited. Initially they came from northern areas such as Tuscany, but emigration spread to the south (Naples region) by the 1900s. Scotland saw an increase in Italian immigrants when America changed its immigration policy and closed the door of opportunity for many of the poorest Europeans. The main reasons Italians sought a new life was as a direct result of economic conditions. Poverty was rife and living conditions were harsh, with famine and sometimes droughts. Furthermore, Italy had an agricultural-based economy that was experiencing severe hardships and industrialisation was slower than in other European nations. Many men saw an opportunity to go elsewhere to earn a living and therefore left in order to support their relatives back home.
The families from Casino were well integrated and Capaldi, Tomasso and Arpino, are families which have much social interaction with each other. Bristol is a town where many of the families settled as it was a dropping off point for those wishing to go across the Atlantic.

Christian Art and Architecture: The First 1000 Years
During the formative centuries of Christianity, art and architecture played an important role in conveying the ideas and messages of the new faith. We will track how Christian art evolved from its modest beginnings as symbols, catacomb paintings and home-based chapels, to the creation of imposing buildings, sumptuously decorated books, richly carved stone crosses and exquisite liturgical objects in precious materials. We'll explore different approaches to art and architecture in the Roman, Byzantine, Coptic, Celtic and Anglo-Saxon worlds. Prepare to be amazed!

BkiUeEk4eIZjyphZvj3i | Test Dell Inspiron Mini 12 Notebook
Netbook or not, that is the question.
After all the notebooks on the market in the last few years have steadily added on functions, many users have often called into question the necessity of dozens of features, the upcoming netbooks have reconsidered this trend. Equipped with only the most important and basic functions, they found an enormous following. Dell has solved the frequent problem of the screens being to small and unworkable with a, let's say 12" netbook, even though the official nomenclature contradicts it.
With the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, the Irish manufacturer complied with all the demands for a small and affordably-priced netbook. The responsible workers from the green isle have also openly recognized the problem of the extremely small display and devised a solution relatively quickly.
During the development of the notebook, from a 7 inch display in the "Original-Eee PC" to a 9" panel, and then to the current 10" variations, there is a continuous growth of the work surface. Dell concentrates on only two formats: 9 inch in the Inspiron mini 9, and 12 inch in the Inspiron Mini 12.
According to the definition, only notebooks with a viewable surface diagonal of 10" or less are considered "netbooks." Our opinion, nevertheless, is that this measurement is not the only valid feature for netbooks. An extremely important aspect is also the spectrum of application for the particular notebook, predominantly defined through the hardware installed and the power reserves connected to it.
If one looks, for instance, under the cover of the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, on finds typical netbook equipment, for example in the form of the Intel Atom CPU. Nevertheless, due also to a total weight of only a little more than a kilogram, the Dell Mini 12 fits better in the category of netbooks than the classic subnotebooks.
Interesting concepts in cooling and supplying power not only make a reduction the power demands to a minimum possible, but also to vastly shrink the required space inside the notebook. A decisive factor in this is primarily an optical drive, which determines the "thickness" of the base unit. If one sacrifices this drive, it is possible to make the base unit extremely thin, as was already implemented successfully in, for example, the Macbook Air. The same principle comes into play with the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, as well.
However, unlike Apple, whose notebooks are without a doubt in the high end of the price range, The price plays an important role with Dell, especially with a near-netbook laptop like the Mini 12. The desire for an elegant aluminum chassis is consequently one of the first to be sacrificed, and one finds the established plastic chassis once again. More precisely, a combination of a case tray made from a metal material and plastic structural components on the top side of the base unit.
That this union, even with good old plastic parts, can produce an appealing and above all stable case is proved by the Dell Mini 12 in front of us. The extremely thin base unit shows especially high resistance to impact pressure and, furthermore, is not susceptible to deformations.
The display, which can only beat the thinness of the base unit by a few millimeters, likewise scores extremely well in the category of stability. Although minor deformations are possible under pressure, this allows one to lift the entire notebook unmindfully, even with a selective grip.
Perhaps another word should be mentioned about the design of the Mini 12. The silver-black body is very reminiscent of the smaller Inspiron Mini 9. There is also a certain similarity to the rest of Dell's model lineup, including the logo on the display cover. Incidentally, this cover is in high-gloss black finish, and therefore very pleasant to look at. With the numerous fingerprints that collect on it over time, it seems more like a negative. While, in the online shop for Austria and Germany, this is so far the only available model, there are already countless colored models in the US shop from Dell. It remains to be seen whether Dell also admits some more colors in "good old Europe" in the future.
The extent of the ports offered on the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 is another way in which it is closer to a netbook than to a similarly formatted subnotebook. However, the mobile 12 inch device features all of the "must haves" for a compact companion and offers them all in user friendly way. The Inspiron Mini 12 possesses sufficient room on its side edges, even in spite of the flat base unit, thanks to its lack of an optical drive.
In detail, the available connections include three USB 2.0 ports, an analogue monitor output, a LAN connection, as well as two jacks for connecting a microphone and headphones. A card reader for the notebook was also thrown in.
So, is anything missing? Hardly. Sufficient room for your mouse, printer, and perhaps also an external hard drive or USB stick is still present, and connecting an external monitor or projector is possible. Also, a network port (although only 10/100 Mbit) can be found on the device, and, above all, you could actually connect your headset to the device and with the integrated webcam, nothing more stands in the way of video conferencing. What more could anyone want?
The webcam, which is integrated into the display frame, activates sufficiently quickly up to a resolution of 640x480 pixels. The camera reacts, however, extremely delicately with unfavorable light conditions, especially darkness. the picture quality of the 1.3 megapixel camera can therefore be characterized as extremely unfavorable.
The Mini 12 also delivers an extremely good picture on our external Samsung Syncmaster 900NF monitor. At a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels and a picture retrieval frequency of 85Hz, the image produced is clearly exhibited and is practical for longer work periods without problems.
With the key combination FN+F8, it can also be quickly switched to the external monitor. Organizing the two displays with the Win XP standard tool, however, emerges as a familiar puzzle.
Front: no connections
Left: Kensington lock, network connection, VGA-out, 2x USB 2.0
Back: battery
Right: card reader, audio ports, USB 2.0, LAN
In the communications modules offered, too, Dell's Inspiron Mini 12 concentrates on the basic features. One of these, for example, is the 10/100 Mbps LAN connection (Realtek RTL8102E PCI-E fast ethernet) as well as Wireless Lan Standard 802-11g. The integrated Bluetooth 2.0 module, which proves itself especially useful for communication with a cell phone or PDA, could be seen as a bonus.
I do not fully agree with Dell's marketing of the Mini 12 as a communication device during travel. For this purpose, the notebook definitely has to have an integrated broadband modem (UMTS/HSDPA). In the present configuration, you are always dependent on an available public network in order to connect to the internet. However, if you work mostly near hotspots anyway, in the office, at university, or in certain public places, then you are well served by this configuration. A look at the battery chamber reveals a preparation for the insertion of a sim card, which is required for mobile broadband internet. Even if there is at present no comparable configuration offered, this could still be an indication of a coming upgrade to the Mini 12. We can't wait.
For an operating system, our test system uses the tried and true Windows XP, which works well with the scarce power reserves. Recently, Ubunthu Linux, which can still be considered an undemanding operating system, has also become available on the notebook. Even Windows Vista, for the time being, can be gotten for the Mini 12. Whether it makes sense to load a known power-hungry operating system on a notebook, however, is a question we would pose.
The warranty for the basic package is limited down to 12 months of "retrieve and repair service." However, for a low starting price currently of 37.- Euros, it can be extended to 2 years. This option is extremely advisable if for no other reason than its attractive price.
After the display, the keyboard benefits the most from an enlargement of the form factors. While a significant reduction in the size of the individual keys must be accounted for in practically all netbooks smaller than 10", in a device with a size of 12", one can enjoy a full-fledged keyboard with a good key size.
The Dell Mini 12 plays this wild card skillfully and offers a good keyboard with a key size of around 15x15 millimeters. Typing on the keyboard does not give rise to any fundamental problems, even in the 10-finger system. A definite space problem is evident, however, around the cursor keys, which were crammed together in the typical netbook standard. Predominantly, the keys "[,/;] [./:] and [-/_], to allow for a right shift key of a comfortable size, were severely shrunk.
While typing, the sharp but not unpleasant striking noise made by the space bar stands out. This is reminiscent of the quiet sibilance of a hi-hat, which together with the muffled, sonorous sound of the rest of the keys almost sounds like music.
The touchpad of the Mini 12 is unusual in regards to its enjoyably generous size. This surface measuring 4.5x8 centimeters has extremely pleasant dimensions, in which the vertical scroll area on the right edge can be easily integrated. We were not, however, totally happy with the surface of the pad. This is integrated as a unit with the surrounding surface that supports the heel of the hand, but was provided with a minimally roughed surface. With that, it does show a slight improvement in its gliding properties, but with "natural skin moisture," it is still too little. Both of the touchpad buttons were designed in the usual manner for Dell. They feature a well chosen stroke depth with good resistance to pressure.
Touchpad/Trackpoint
As the name of the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 already indicates, the compact notebook possesses a 12.1 inch WXGA display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. With this, the panel is not only visually superior to the smaller netbooks, but a full-fledged resolution is also offered with regard to the screen, on which surfing the internet is fun since it doesn't require excessive scrolling.
In the course of our measurements, the Mini 12 reached a maximum display brightness of 202 cd/m² in the top center of the display. A good value. However, a much stronger loss of brightness in the lower corners, in which the panel's illumination level falls to merely 70.8%, was also striking.

Distribution of brightness
Maximum: 202 cd/m² Average: 167.6 cd/m²
Brightness Distribution: 71 %
Contrast: 177:1 (Black: 1.07 cd/m²)
Subjectively, the panel nevertheless makes, overall, a thoroughly passable impression, even in the face of a low total system price. A lightly tiered grayscale gradient was also not able to change anything. With a black value of 1.07 cd/m² reached the panel a maximum contrast relationship of 189:1, an average but acceptable result.
For us, one of the most severe drawbacks of the display is its mirrored display surface. Immediately during mobile use of the notebook, especially outdoors where the surroundings often have unfavorable light conditions, one has to deal with strong reflections that make working with the notebook difficult to impossible - too bad.
The viewing angle provided is also rather small, which we already anticipated in private. Both horizontally and vertically, alterations appear extremely quickly as soon as one departs even marginally from the ideal viewing angle. One must also deal with frequent adjustments of the opening angle.
Blickwinkel Inspiron Mini 12
The hardware components of a netbook should be very frugal overall. It should require very little energy and produce the least possible heat, but nevertheless provide enough power for basic applications, and above all be affordable. The price is one of the weightiest arguments for a netbook. With the current lineup of dual core CPUs from Intel, or even from AMD or the most popular graphics solutions, this is hard to achieve.
Happily, netbooks frequently fall back on, let's say "chip specialties," like for example VIA. Intel, however, recognized the netbook potential extremely quickly and conceived with the Atom CPU of a chip that was specially designed for this device class. The demand was initially so high that Intel had to build whole chip factories from the ground up before they could satisfy it. In the mean time, the market has been brought back under control so that nearly all netbooks now rely on the Intel Atom CPU.
Our present test sample of the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 can also optionally be equipped with an Intel Atom Z520 CPU (1.33 GHz, 512Kb L2-cache and 533 Mhz FSB) or even with the somewhat faster Atom Z530 CPU with 1.6 GHz. The Atom processors were developed brand new because of the emergence and the success of the netbooks. In contrast to the other current CPUs, the chips work on the "in order" code, that is, all upcoming assignments are carried out successively. Current core CPUs from Intel, however, work on the "out of order" principle, whereby upcoming tasks are reordered for the purpose of optimizing performance.
Certainly the most important characteristic of the Atom processor is its lower price. This lies at around 40.- US dollars for the Atom Z520 chip and about 70.- dollars for the faster Z530 core. With these prices, they definitely fall below the price of current dual core processors, which start at about 200-300 dollars, as do the energy saving ULV variants. Even the affordable Celeron CPU, which costs around 100.- dollars, is definitely above the Atom chip.
Possibly, this is because of the small size of the chip, among other factors. On merely 24mm², around 47 million transistors can be found, manufactured in the 45- nanometer fashion.
The Intel US51W platform serves as the chipset, which produces with the GMA 500 graphics chip an adequate picture. The Graphics Media Accelerator is Directx 10.1 compatible and can play back HD content as well. With a clocking of 200MHz and only 4 shader units, however, a usable 3D-Performance seems practical.
"Benchmarks? No thanks!"
Thus, the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 can be approximately described in our practical performance test. In total, only two noteworthy benchmarks work for us. Perhaps the 697 points in the 3D Mark 2001 Test or the 541 points in the Cinebench Single CPU Rendering Test. that these values also are at the absolute bottom end of their respective scales is hardly surprising, but considering the field of application for the Mini 12, it is also totally irrelevant.
What is much more important is the fact that the Mini 12 offers sufficient power for standard use. An appropriate material for testing this is the 585 page long 9/11 report in .pdf format. No problem for the Mini 12. After only a few seconds of load time, the document is available and can be perused with extremely short tugs.
A similarly simple task for the netbook is the composition of texts with the tested Open Office 3.0. Even the creation of simple tables and statistics with the package's Office Tool causes no problems.
All in all, the Inspiron Mini 12 fulfills its purpose, with 0-8-15 office applications in any case. Clearly there are somewhat longer loading times now and then with different applications, and some dialogs also require a longer than average time, but nevertheless, the notebook offers overall a full-fledged work environment for everyday assignments.
Furthermore, with the integrated 80GB hard disk, the Mini 12 offers plenty of memory space, for your Mp3 collection for example, or perhaps some videos - an additional advantage compared to many netbooks which mostly have relatively small SSD drives. The speed of the Samsung HS082HB hard disk with 4200 U/min is not really exhilarating, but the following applies here: function goes before performance.

System Noise
When there's nothing there, nothing can make any noise - the simple ventilation concept of the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 notebook. In plain text, that means nothing more than that it does completely without a system fan, and the heat producing components are simply passively cooled over an adequately large heat sink. The Dell Inspiron Mini 12 is not completely free of secondary noises, however. In the choice of a traditional 80 GB hard disk, a moving mechanical component finds itself within the case, producing a definite working noise. In practice, however, the hard disk was barely audible, and could only be heard at all during activity.

Since there is no case fan, naturally one might assume that this coud lead to higher case temperatures - negative. Even under long periods running consistently at capacity, the case of the notebook remained at an agreeable temperature. The highest values measured lay at 31.5 °C on the bottom of the device and 35.9 °C on the top of the base unit.
Even the temperature of the CPU itself consistently stayed at a reasonable temperature during the test. At one point, the "Core Temp" tool showed 73 °C after running the Atom CPU at capacity for a long period of time.

(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 29.3 °C / 84.7 F (+3.4 °C / 6.1 F).
Apparently, the integrated speakers were also economized, or better said, the single built-in speaker. Only extremely thin and quiet sound comes out of the perforated cover above the keyboard.
What is better for "shaking it up" is the sound playback over the 3.5mm headphone output, given a high quality headset and a sufficiently long cable, of course.
Readers Test
Classic Test
The mobile energy source for the Mini 12 is a lithium-ion battery with only 3 cells. The integration of the battery pack is however, in our opinion, not very successful. It bulges out from the rear edge of the laptop's otherwise totally flat and elegant case. The explanation for this creative gaffe is presumably also due to the price-politics of the Dell Mini 12. Thus, standard battery cells were evidently installed, which makes them fundamentally more affordable than a specially manufactured flat Li-Ion variant that could be put in the case much less obtrusively.
In the Battery Eater Readers Test (WLAN off, min. display brightness, energy saving mode), with the 3-cell battery and a capacity of 24 Wh, the notebook reached a maximum possible life of 153 minutes. In the worst-case scenario, that is, under high demands in the Batter Eater Classic Test (WLAN+BT on, max. display brightness, max. performance), the battery gave up after 106 minutes.
Under practical conditions surfing over WLAN with maximum display brightness, a lifetime of around 125 minutes could be observed. We didn't come near the three hour lifetime promised by Dell. Most scenarios indicated a practical standard of about 2 hours. Not much for a notebook intended predominantly for mobile use. In this area, the Mini 12 has to admit defeat to most of the smaller netbooks equipped with more powerful batteries.
A glance at the Dell's American homepage yields some interesting results with regard to the battery. For example, a 48Wh battery is also offered here. This at least doubles the possible lifetime. Because of the case form, however, this means that the battery would stick out somewhat on the underside of the notebook, or else it would not be possible to include 6 cells.

Dell could have certainly hit the bull's eye with the 12-inch "netbook" design. The present growth of the traditional netbooks shows a clear trend toward the models with larger displays and more user friendly keyboards. Dell goes a step further with the Inspiron Mini 12 and offers, so to speak, a subnotebook according to the netbook model.
Thanks to the energy saving components, the case could be designed to be extremely flat and especially light weighing at barely over one kilogram. This is not only good for the mobility of the notebook, but the whole image can profit from it. We see the battery, which sticks out from the back side of the case, as a creative gaffe that disturbs the sleek design of the Mini 12.
With the basic ports offered, most of the everyday connection situations can be coped with thoroughly well. The VGA port and the 3.5mm sound output were pleasantly surprising during the test, and both of them provided an extremely good signal and expanded the Mini 12 very well. The communication features, consisting of exclusively the classic features like WLAN and Bluetooth for example, could only be improved by a UMTS option, which would make the Inspiron Mini 12 a mobile communications professional.
In our opinion, the display of the Mini 12 chosen was not a very good choice. Resolution, brightness, contrast - so far so good, and totally justifiable considering the purchase price. We disagree, however, most of all with the mirrored display surface, which for the most part prevents use of the notebook outdoors. Unfortunately, The reflections appearing under unfavorable light conditions significantly reduce the spectrum of application for the Mini 12.
The hardware installed, however, defines the intended use of the notebook very narrowly. The Inspiron Mini 12 is a useful and well-prepared platform for basic office functions like reading and composing texts, calculating simple tables, organizing contacts and appointments, mail and internet,... etc., even if its load times are longer every once in a while.
Dell's passive cooling concept is a big plus for the notebook. For the user, it means being able to operate the notebook practically without noise - so quiet, that one almost finds the sounds from typing on the keyboard as unpleasantly loud. The surface temperatures of the notebook always stay in the green. Considering the fan-less case, this is very positive to note.
All in all, with the Inspiron Mini 12 Dell succeeds in making an extremely interesting notebook that still has a few weaknesses, like the battery life of around 2 hours, which is not very liberating. Overall, though, it constitutes a useful alternative to the currently available netbooks. In particular, users who don't want to resign themselves to using a cropped display and a finicky keyboard could find a serious alternative in the Dell Inspiron Mini 12.

After the Mini 9, the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 is the second "netbook" from the house of Dell.
The background noise while typing composes itself interestingly, above all the interesting sound of the space bar.
The size of the touchpad seems positive, but improvements with regard to its gliding properties could be made.
The measured values of the installed 12-inch display were consistently acceptable.
The mirrored display surface, however, is a total mistake for a mobile notebook.
The Mini 12's Intel Atom Z530 CPU is a typical netbook processor with sufficient power.
The cooling of the chip is carried out passively, and therefore requires no additional self-moving mechanical parts.
Nevertheless, the surface temperatures of the case always stay within the green.
The integrated speakers, or more accurately, speaker is unfortunately suited only for reference sounds. For music playback, one should always use headphones.
For mobile operation, the Mini 12 has a 3 cell Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 24Wh.
Apart from its low capacity, the implementation of the battery in the case is not accomplished very well.
However, shrunken keys, like the cursor keys, are still to be found.
The keyboard benefits the most from the somewhat larger form factors and offers a nearly unabridged input surface.
Equipped with a 12 inch display, the notebook moves to the border between subnotebook and netbook.
The design is very reminiscent of the smaller Mini 9m, particularly the high gloss black display cover.
In spite of the larger form factors, the Inspiron Mini 12 is extremely agile and is, with regards to mobility, nearly equal to its smaller colleague.
Above all, the slim base unit is very successful, and its design caliber is reminiscent of the Macbook Air.
The case consists of a case tray made of metal together with plastic components.
With this combination, the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 achieves a stability worth seeing.
Nothing should stand in the way of an intensively mobile use.
Like its netbook colleagues, the Mini 12's connection options are limited to a choice from basic ports.
Nonetheless, it features three USB 2.0 connections and the extremely useful VGA port.
Presently, there is no UMTS option for the Mini 12, but a preparation in the case is already recognizable.
Like an foreign body, the battery protrudes out of the flat case.

BkiUeEjxK2li-LJswNl2 | The villagers of Little Hangleron still called it the Riddle House, even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there. It stood on a hill overlooking the village, some of its windows boarded, tiles missing from its roof, and ivy spreading unchecked over its face.
Harry lay flat on his back, breathing hard as though he had been running. He had awoken from a vivid dream with his hands pressed over his face. The old scar on his forehead, which was shaped like a bolt of lightning, was burning beneath his fingers as though someone had just pressed a white-hot wire to his skin.
By the time Harry arrived in the kitchen, the three Dursleys were already seated around the table. None of them looked up as he entered or sat down. Uncle Vernon's large red face was hidden behind the morning's Daily Mail, and Aunt Petunia was cutting a grapefruit into quarters, her lips pursed over her horselike teeth.
The atmosphere inside number four, Privet Drive was extremely tense. The imminent arrival at their house of an assortment of wizards was making the Dursleys uptight and irritable.
Did he eat it? said Fred excitedly, holding out a hand to pull Harry to his fee Yeah, said Harry, straightening up. What was it?
Harry felt as though he had barely lain down to steep in Ron's room when he was being shaken awake by Mrs. Weasley.
Morning, Basil, said Mr. Weasley, picking up the boot and handing it to the kilted wizard, who threw it into a large box of used Portkeys beside him; Harry could see an old newspaper, an empty drinks can, and a punctured football.
Dont tell your mother youve been gambling, Mr. Weasley implored Fred and George as they all made their way slowly down the purple-carpeted stairs.
Mr. Weasley woke them after only a few hours sleep. He used magic to pack up the tents, and they left the campsite as quickly as possible, passing Mr. Roberts at the door of his cottage. Mr. Roberts had a strange, dazed look about him, and he waved them off with a vague Merry Christmas.
Through the gates, flanked with statues of winged boars, and up the sweeping drive the carriages trundled, swaying dangerously in what was fast becoming a gale.
The storm had blown itself out by the following morning, though the ceiling in the Great Hall was still gloomy; heavy clouds of pewter gray swirled overhead as Harry, Ron, and Hermione examined their new course schedules at breakfast.
You know why Snapes in such a foul mood, dont you? said Ron to Harry as they watched Hermione teaching Neville a Scouring Charm to remove the frog guts from under his fingernails.
Dear Sirius, I reckon I just imagined my scar hurting, I was half asleep when I wrote to you last time. There's no point coming back, everything's fine here. Don't worry about me, my head feels completely normal.
I dont believe it! Ron said, in a stunned voice, as the Hogwarts students filed back up the steps behind the party from Durmstrang. Krum, Harry! Viktor Krum!
When Harry woke up on Sunday morning, it took him a moment to remember why he felt so miserable and worried. Then the memory of the previous night rolled over him.
The prospect of talking face-to-face with Sirius was all that sustained Harry over the next fortnight, the only bright spot on a horizon that had never looked darker.
Harry got up on Sunday morning and dressed so inattentively that it was a while before he realized he was trying to pull his hat onto his foot instead of his sock.
Fits, doesnt it? he said. Remember what Malfoy said on the train, about his dad being friends with Karkaroff? Now we know where they knew each other.
Professor McGonagalls irritated voice cracked like a whip through the Transfiguration class on Thursday, and Harry and Ron both jumped and looked up.
Despite the very heavy load of homework that the fourth years had been given for the holidays. Harry was in no mood to work when term ended, and spent the week leading up to Christmas enjoying himself as fully as possible along with everyone else.
Everybody got up late on Boxing Day. The Gryffindor common room was much quieter than it had been lately, many yawns punctuating the lazy conversations.
Harry had no idea how long a bath he would need to work out the secret of the golden egg, he decided to do it at night, when he would be able to take as much time as he wanted. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfCk5qsFCiE6Ue7bt | MDC Brooklyn: Sex Scandal and 11 Staff Indicted for Beating Prisoners
Loaded on Nov. 15, 2007 by Matthew Clarke published in Prison Legal News November, 2007, page 22
Filed under: Staff-Prisoner Assault, Misconduct/Corruption, Guard Misconduct, DOC/BOP misconduct, Guard Brutality/Beatings, Suicides. Location: New York.
On April 12, 2007, eleven guards at the federal Bureau of Prison's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York " including a captain and three lieutenants" were indicted for abusing prisoners. At the same time, another scandal at the MDC involved a staff psychologist allegedly having an extramarital affair with a prisoner.
PLN has previously reported the abuse of prisoners by guards at MDC Brooklyn. [See: PLN, Sept. 2006, p.30; June 2004, p.19; and April 2004, p.21]. Unfortunately the brutality against prisoners continues, with many of the same guards participating. A federal indictment was handed down against Captain Salvatore LoPresti, Lt. Frank Maldonado, Lt. Kelly Tassio, Lt. Elizabeth Torres, and guards Scott Rosebery, Glen Cummings, Alfred Santana, Steven Peterson and three others stemming from assaults on prisoners which occurred on November 13, 2002 and April 11, 2006.
In the 2002 assault, the indictment alleged that LoPresti felt "disrespected" when prisoner Robert George refused to remove a t-shirt he had tied around his head. LoPresti and other guards beat George until a pool of blood and clumps of his dreadlocks were left on the floor. LoPresti, Tassio, Rosebery and two other guards then attempted a cover-up by making a noose out of sheets and tying it to the window bars in George's cell, to support their claim that he had attempted suicide and became combative when LoPresti tried to intervene. Those guards, along with Santana and Peterson, submitted false reports supporting the attempted suicide scenario. Tassio eventually admitted to falsifying a report on orders from LoPresti, but later recanted her confession.
The 2006 beating began as a fight between an unnamed prisoner and a guard, and Rosebery intervened. The prisoner stopped fighting. Rosebery then beat the prisoner in his cell while Torres looked on and taunted him from the hallway. Afterwards, they took the prisoner to the Special Housing Unit, tripping him while he was being taken into an elevator.
Torres stood lookout in the hallway as Cummings repeatedly stomped the fallen prisoner in the stopped elevator. The beating was captured on videotape by a hallway surveillance camera.
LoPresti was also charged in the indictment with abusing official letters to help MDC guards obtain weapons for off-duty use, a violation of BOP regulations. He pleaded not guilty during arraignment on April 13, 2007 and was released on $250,000 bond.
"These names are not new to us," said Center for Constitutional Rights attorney Rachel Meeropol. "We are pleased that officials are finally being held accountable for a pattern of systematic physical and verbal abuse at the MDC."
The Center for Constitutional Rights filed a lawsuit against MDC employees in April 2002 that named LoPresti, Torres and Rosebery. The suit alleged that at least five Arab and South Asian prisoners who were swept up in the reaction to the 9-11 attacks had been abused while incarcerated at MDC. The U.S. Department of Justice's inspector general issued two reports in 2003 that acknowledged a pattern of abuse at MDC, much of which was videotaped.
On October 2, 2007, Tassio and Santana pleaded guilty to charges that they participated in a cover-up of the 2002 beating, admitting they wrote false reports. "I knew there was no valid reason for going into the cell, and I assisted in the assault," Santana told the federal court. Rosebery and Peterson plead guilty to assault charges in September 2007. On October 25, 2007, a jury found LoPresti guilty of civil rights violations, obstructing justice, and making false statements.
In another scandal involving staff misconduct, a MDC psychologist was accused of a different kind of prisoner mistreatment. Magdalena Sanchez, 35, a former NYPD psychologist, worked at MDC Brooklyn from September 2005 until she resigned from her $70,000-a-year job in February 2006. She is accused of having sex with prisoner Demetrius Hill, 28, from October 2005 until February 2006, when Hill reportedly revealed the relationship in exchange for a light sentence on his armed robbery charges. Hill, who was facing up to 85 years, received a 20-year sentence. Ironically, Sanchez had previously written a letter to the federal judge over Hill's case, requesting leniency.
Sanchez, who is married to renowned Lehman Brothers equity trader Josh Spitz, pleaded not guilty at an arraignment hearing on April 6, 2007 and was released on $100,000 bail. Her case is still pending. It is alleged that she kept Hill on suicide watch so they could have unmonitored visits. He is described by his family as a violent and manipulative person who is both charming and very intelligent; he has an extensive criminal history and is a member of the Bloods gang. In a Sept. 2007 interview Hill denied that he ever had sex with Sanchez, describing her as a "confidante, defender and more than a friend," but not a lover.
Hill stated he also had a relationship with Nassau County jail guard Cynthia Plummer, whom he said provided the car for his robbery spree. Plummer lost her job and was indicted for lying about their relationship, but the charges against her were later dropped.
Hill had filed suit against Lt. Frank Maldonado in 2006, alleging that Maldonado threatened to beat him and make it seem as if he had been attempting suicide and became combative. The threats were allegedly because Hill was filing too many grievances against MDC staff. The threatened beating scenario was similar to the incident described in the federal indictment naming Maldonado and the other MDC guards. Clearly, it is time that the bad apples in the Big Apple's MDC were tossed out.

Betty starred in more than 100 cartoons, 90 of which are included in the official "Betty Boop" series, which ended in 1939. Since then, Betty has appeared in dozens of hit movies, television specials and commercials. She was the first cartoon character to be profiled by A&E's "Biography" series.

BkiUdRM5qoTAp2zWUNSb | Daniel Green is No. 1 runner for Marshall U.
Bill Arsenault
For Public Opinion
Daniel Green has become the main man for the Marshall University men's cross country team.
Green, a sophomore, was the third-best runner on the team as a freshman. But he's the No. 1 runner for the Thundering Herd this fall.
Green (James Buchanan) finished ninth out of 65 in the season-opening Morehead State Eagle Opener on Sept. 2 in Morehead, Ky. His 5k time was 16:04.20, the top effort on his team.
"Daniel's improved a lot from last year to this year," said Marshall assistant coach Caleb Bowen, who handles cross country. "He made the big jump over last winter, where he went from a solid 3-4 team runner to a No. 1 runner. He has gained a lot of confidence and he has pressed in workouts and in practice."
According to the coach, Green gives the Marshall squad the extra mile.
"If you tell him to go run 10 miles, he'll run 11," Bowen said.
Green will be out to better his performance in the Conference USA Championships (Oct. 29 in Charlotte, N.C.). He finished 45th as a freshman and was Marshall's third-best finisher.
The Thundering Herd returns to the course for the Commodore Classic on Saturday in Nashville, Tenn.
Kellen Williams (Chambersburg): The 6-foot, 220-pound senior wide receiver caught a pair of touchdown passes, but it wasn't enough as his Kutztown football team dropped a 23-19 decision to Mercyhurst last Saturday. His scores were 20 and 12 yards and he also had another 12-yarder. Williams had a touchdown reception in the Golden Bears' 45-21 season-opening loss to Assumption. He had three catches for 33 yards in that game.
Nakita Gearhart (Greencastle-Antrim): The 5-foot-11 senior middle hitter leads the 6-1 Juniata women's volleyball team in blocks with 15, is tied for second in kills (57), is second in points (65) and has 10 digs. She had 13 kills and six blocks in a 3-1 victory over Clarkson and 13 blocks in a 3-1 triumph over Carnegie-Mellon. Gearhart currently has 827 kills and 218 blocks for her career.
Courtney Group (Chambersburg): The sophomore made her debut with the Slippery Rock women's cross country team by finishing fourth out of 35 runners to help The Rock capture the Doug Watts Distance Gala on Sept. 3 in Edinboro. Group, a transfer from Pittsburgh, where she ran track and cross country, covered the 5k course in 19:08.04. She was Slippery Rock's second finisher.
Chandler Schur (Chambersburg): The freshman is starting in goal for the Hawaii Pacific men's soccer team, which is 0-1-2 in the early going. He had eight saves in a season-opening 2-2 tie with Northeast Nazarene on Sept. 1 and followed that up by making just one save in a 2-1 loss to Concordia, Calif. and one save in a 2-2 tie with BYU-Hawaii last weekend.
Jennifer Morrissette (Chambersburg): The sophomore is starting for the 4-0 York College women's soccer team. The 5-foot-4 defender has helped the Spartans outscore foes 18-8 and she has a defensive save – in a 4-1 season-opening victory over McDaniel. Morrissette started 17 games for York as a freshman and had 10 defensive saves, which is a school record.
Josh Spoonhour (Greencastle-Antrim): The 6-foot, 175-pound senior is in his fourth season starting in goal for the Gordon men's soccer team. He's 2-1-1 this season and has given up seven goals with 14 saves. He entered this season having played in 54 games with 51 starts, sporting a 36-12-2 record, giving up 43 goals with 192 saves and 15 shutouts. He was an All-Commonwealth Coast Conference second team selection last year.
Madison Hurley (Greencastle-Antrim): The freshman made her debut with the BYU-Hawaii women's cross country team when she competed on the home course in the annual BYU Hawaii Invitational in Laie, HI. She covered the 5K course in 21:02 to finish 21st in a field of 38. She was the Seasiders' sixth finisher and missed finishing in the top five for her team by 19 seconds.
Nick Franki (Waynesboro): The Rensselaer Poly freshman posted rounds of 78 and 84 for a 162 total to finish 19th at last weekend's Lake Placid Club Invitational in Lake Placid, N.Y. He was RPI's fifth finisher, the team finishing third. Franki kicked off his college career by posting rounds of 84, 81 and 82 for a 247 total at the Transylvania Open on Sept. 4 in Lexington, Ky. The Engineers finished 11th out of 16 teams.
Laiton Suders (Cumberland Valley Christian): The senior had a goal and two assists to help the 2-1 Geneva women's soccer team turn back Penn State Beaver 8-0 on Sept. 7. She had an assist in the Golden Tornadoes' 3-2 season-opening victory over LaRoche. Suders had four goals and an assist last season, her first with the team. Geneva dropped its first game last Saturday, 3-2 to Anderson in a non-league contest.
Alyssa Rudy (Greencastle-Antrim): The freshman picked up her first collegiate goal and added an assist to help the Lynchburg women's soccer team post a 4-0 victory over Sewanee on Sept. 4. She came back to score a goal in a 4-0 victory over Emory last Saturday. Rudy's come off the bench in all four games for the 3-0-1 Hornets. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUda44dbghMG6xpOsy | How Do I Become a Mortgage Insurance Broker?
In many jurisdications, people must first obtain special certifications to become a mortgage insurance broker.
Mortgage insurance can describe a kind of insurance policy that is taken out by an aspiring homeowner who needs a mortgage loan to purchase real estate. The insurance compensates the lender if the borrower is unable to pay back a mortgage at any time. In some cases, mortgage insurance may also refer to a life insurance plan that decreases over time. A mortgage insurance broker is a professional who sells these insurance policies. To become a mortgage insurance broker, it can first be helpful to learn which credentials you need to legally practice in your area.
In many regions, an individual must earn the proper certification to become a mortgage insurance broker. When this is the case, the person should first take the necessary courses that can prepare him or her for passing the exam. Courses and exams required to earn certification can often be costly and require a lot of preparation. For this reason, it can be helpful to have savings built up before pursuing this career path.
An academic degree is not normally required for an individual who wants to become a mortgage insurance broker. Certain employers may prefer workers who have experience in sales. A broker is a sales position, so charisma and the ability to gain the trust of others can be helpful in this line of work.
Many local governments require a specific kind of insurance for any professional who would like to become a mortgage insurance broker. This insurance is purchased to protect a broker from liability, should he or she be held responsible for misinformation or other mistakes that occurred during an insurance sale. While this insurance may not always be a legal requirement, many experts believe that it is a good precaution to take.
Some mortgage insurance brokers work for firms while others may choose to operate independently. If you choose to work for a firm, it might be necessary to compose a resume that lists your job and educational experience. You may also be required to go through an interview process. Many experts believe that an interview can be the most important part of a sales related hiring process since the interview can be seen as your opportunity to sell yourself.
If you plan on operating independently, your first step should be to contact a number of insurance companies and inform them that you would like to sell their insurance. The companies normally send information and a form for brokers to fill out. If you live in an area that requires mortgage insurance brokers to have certain credentials, you may be asked to send copies of certificates and paperwork.

BkiUddzxK6nrxqmoztf7 | A Family Trust lawyer understands that with so many choices regarding the types of family trusts in Arizona clients can choose, the process can be a confusing and overwhelming one.
At Arizona Estate Planning Attorneys, we offer more than 100 years of combined legal experience and would be happy to meet and discuss what your trust options may be.
A family trust lawyer knows that when a person uses a Will to determine how their assets and property will be divided, that will must be probated before the division of assets can take place. The minimum amount of time for probate is about one year, but this can extend for much longer if the will is contested by anyone.
This also leaves the risk that what your last wishes were could be overturned by a jury if the party who contests the will is able to present a convincing argument. Utilizing a trust, however, avoids that probate process and ensures that how you want your assets divided will be followed. Family trusts in Arizona also help shield assets from taxation issues.
Learn About Family Trusts in Arizona from Our Arizona Estate Planning Attorneys.
One type of trust a trust attorney can explain to you is a living will. You can specify which heir will receive which asset upon your death. Since a living trust avoids probate, the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the trust will receive those assets immediately upon your death, not months or years later.
Family trusts in Arizona can give you the control on how those assets are dispersed. For example, you can choose to have the funds from a trust released to the beneficiary in increments if you feel that they may not be responsible enough to handle the full amount at once or you can choose to have a trustee oversee the assets until the beneficiary reaches a certain age.
A living trust can be either revocable, meaning the trust can be changed or revoked at any time, or irrevocable. An irrevocable trust does not allow you to change your mind or use the assets in the trust because legally they are not considered your funds any longer.
The possible benefit, however, may be that there are no estate taxes owed on funds from an irrevocable trust.
A testamentary trust goes into effect after a person dies and is set up through the last will and testament. They work similar to a living trust in naming the beneficiary and the specifics of how assets are to be dispersed.
Although testamentary trusts can be changed at any time, any changes also need to be addressed in the person's Last Will and Testament.
Other types of family trusts in Arizona a trust lawyer can assist you with include a special needs trust and a Medicare trust. The legal team from Arizona Estate Planning Attorneys can explain if these types of trusts would benefit your family.
If you are ready to meet and discuss what your family trusts in Arizona options are, contact a professional trust lawyer from Arizona Estate Planning Attorneys today at (480)947-4339 to set up an appointment for a consultation. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUeAjxK7ICUt7cQfRp | Addressing the specific needs of the automotive industry in the area of Electrical and/or Electronic systems functional safety.
Implementing ISO 26262 ensures that a high level of safety is built into car components right from the start. The standard can be used to establish a safety management system based on internationally recognized best practices and the latest approach to risk management, giving you a competitive edge. It is expected that car manufacturers will use compliance to ISO 26262 as a means to qualify components and potential suppliers of E/E components.
ISO 26262 is a multipart standard defining requirements and providing guidelines for achieving functional safety in E/E systems installed in road vehicles. The standard ISO 26262 is considered a best practice framework for achieving functional safety in road vehicles.
Processes: The standard requires specific life cycle processes to be implemented within a safety management system driven by a risk-based approach.
Our training offer includes short introductory courses or executive overviews aimed at providing basic knowledge on the purpose, application, structure and content of the standard.
The advanced course addresses each individual part of the standard, enhancing the skills of safety engineers in the various disciplines (system, hardware, software) with respect to the concepts of risk analysis and risk mitigation. The training also targets various levels, e.g. supervised practitioners, practitioners and experts.
We also provide training that targets the process management competence within the areas of establishing, planning and monitoring product, hardware or software lifecycle processes. In addition we help improve specific competences within the area of safety assurance for the execution of effective confirmation measures on products and processes.
If training is established as a prerequisite coupled with field experience within the different areas of safety management, personnel certification can be used to verify the different safety engineer levels: supervised practitioner, practitioner and expert. We can provide personnel certification schemes and assessments.
This assessment measures to what degree you are compliant with the standard. The report from our gap analysis identifies gaps that need to be filled in order to comply with ISO 26262. The assessment focuses on alignment with best practices more than just a conformity certification approach, giving you a clearer picture of how to reach full compliance.
The scored assessment focuses on processes rather than products. The scored assessment will allow you to evaluate your organization's level of maturity/capability of your processes in order to initiate process improvements following the capability/maturity path while maintaining alignment with the ISO 26262 requirements.
Functional safety assessments that evaluate the functional safety achieved by the item in question.
Based upon the safety integrity level required for a specific item, the confirmation measures will be performed with various degrees of independence of the reviewer/auditor/assessor from the project involved in the development activities. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 |

Author : Michael Fanone
Genre : Biography & Autobiography
Publisher : Simon and Schuster
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An urgent warning about the growing threat to our democracy from a twenty-year police veteran and former Trump supporter who nearly lost his life during the insurrection of January 6th. When Michael Fanone self-deployed to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, he had no idea his life was about to change. When he got to the front of the line, he urged his fellow officers to hold it against the growing crowd of insurrectionists—until he found himself pulled into the mob, tased until he had a heart attack, and viciously beaten with a Blue Lives Matter flag as shouts to kill him rang out. Now, Fanone is ready to tell the full story of that fateful day, along with exploring our country's most critical issues as someone who has had firsthand experience with many of them. A self-described redneck who voted for Trump in 2016, Fanone's closest friend was an informant—a Black, transgender, HIV-positive woman who has helped him mature and rethink his methods as a police officer. With his unique insight as an undercover detective and intense desire to do the right thing no matter the cost, Fanone provides a nuanced look into everything from policing to race to politics in a way that is accessible across all party lines. Determined to make sure no one forgets what happened at the Capitol on January 6th, Fanone has written a timely call to action for anyone who wants to preserve our democracy for future generations.

Genre : Humor
Publisher : Jonathan Ball Publishers
Navigating motherhood from the age of 18, Kim Stephens shelved her inner journo and embraced a life of media sales and sports marketing, working with some of the biggest sports brands globally, and locally, whilst pursuing her own ultra-running ambitions. Arguing vehemently against the possibility that she was running from her own truth, Covid-19 wiped out Kim's possibilities for continued escape. After three children, two divorces and a gradual sexual awakening, Kim found herself at 40-something virtually unemployed, with all the time in the world to write, sip gin and study a general response to one of the world's most draconian lockdowns. Her humorous observations of middle-class South African behaviour through the various levels of lockdown earned her a certain notoriety and a degree of viral success, and with that the courage to put it all into a book. Hold the Line tells the story of teenage pregnancy, the situational blindness of white South Africa, the disappointment of divorce and the deep joy found through true awakening. Stitched together with the lockdown writing that Kim penned for a growing base of followers, she shares a more in-depth life story with her usual candid self-deprecation. Written to rattle a few truths from within its readers, Hold the Line ends ironically as the world begins to follow a potential third World War via TikTok.

"This is the memoir America wishes Jim Mattis had written." —The Washington Post An insider's sometimes shocking account of how Defense Secretary James Mattis led the US military through global challenges while serving as a crucial check on the Trump Administration. For nearly two years as Trump's Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis maintained a complicated relationship with the President. A lifelong Marine widely considered to be one of America's greatest generals, Mattis was committed to keeping America safe. Yet he served a President whose actions were frequently unpredictable and impulsive with far-reaching consequences. Often described as the administration's "adult in the room," Mattis has said very little about his difficult role, and since his resignation has kept his views of the President and his policies private. Now, Mattis's former chief speechwriter and communications director, Guy M. Snodgrass, brings readers behind that curtain. Drawing on his seventeen months working with Mattis, Snodgrass reveals how one of the nation's greatest generals walked a political tightrope while leading the world's most powerful military. Snodgrass gives us a fly-on-the-wall view as Mattis... • Reacted when learning about major policy decisions via Twitter rather than from the White House. • Minimized the damage done to our allies and diplomatic partners. • Slow-rolled some of Trump's most controversial measures, with no intention of following through. As the first book written by an insider with firsthand knowledge of key decisions and moments in history, Holding the Line is a must-read for those who care about the presidency and America's national security. It's filled with never-before-told stories that will both alarm and reassure, a testament to the quiet and steady efforts of General Mattis and the dedicated men and women he led at the Department of Defense.

A behind-the-scenes political memoir written by a prominent White House physician. I would talk to the president before the chief of staff even saw the president in the morning. I walked into work, and I was already in the Oval Office talking to President Trump. It was rarely medical, to be honest with you; it was whatever was going on in the news. I'd be the first person he'd see in the morning. The president was completing tasks two to three hours before anybody else showed up in the West Wing to work. He'd get up at five o'clock in the morning and would be watching TV, tweeting, making phone calls, and doing all types of other tasks. President Trump would poke his head into my office or I'd walk out, and we would say, "Good morning. Did you see this or that?" He was always asking me about things on TV and what was going on, from Iran to Stormy Daniels. He'd say, "Walk with me." So I'd walk him to the Oval Office, and we'd talk about everything. I'd walk out through the outer Oval Office and the chief of staff, national security advisor, and even the CIA briefer would be standing there, waiting to get in and talk to him. I'd walk out, they'd walk in, and his day would start. I was the first person he saw every morning and the last person he saw every evening when he went to bed.
The Beats Black Mountain And New Modes In American Poetry
Author : Matt Theado
Genre : Literary Criticism
Publisher : Liverpool University Press
The Beats, Black Mountain, and New Modes of American Poetry explores correspondences amongst the Black Mountain and Beat Generation writers, two of most well-known and influential groups of poets in the 1950s. The division of writers as Beat or Black Mountain has hindered our understanding of the ways that these poets developed from mutual influences, benefitted from direct relations, and overlapped their boundaries. This collection of academic essays refines and adds context to Beat Studies and Black Mountain Studies by investigating the groups' intersections and undercurrents. One goal of the book is to deconstruct the Beat and Black Mountain labels in order to reveal the shifting and fluid relationships among the individual poets who developed a revolutionary poetics in the 1950s and beyond. Taken together, these essays clarify the radical experimentation with poetics undertaken by these poets.
Author : Barbara Kingsolver
Genre : Political Science
Publisher : Cornell University Press
Holding the Line, Barbara Kingsolver's first non-fiction book, is the story of women's lives transformed by an a signal event. Set in the small mining towns of Arizona, it is part oral history and part social criticism, exploring the process of empowerment which occurs when people work together as a community. Like Kingsolver's award-winning novels, Holding the Line is a beautifully written book grounded on the strength of its characters. Hundreds of families held the line in the 1983 strike against Phelps Dodge Copper in Arizona. After more than a year the strikers lost their union certification, but the battle permanently altered the social order in these small, predominantly Hispanic mining towns. At the time the strike began, many women said they couldn't leave the house without their husband's permission. Yet, when injunctions barred union men from picketing, their wives and daughters turned out for the daily picket lines. When the strike dragged on and men left to seek jobs elsewhere, women continued to picket, organize support, and defend their rights even when the towns were occupied by the National Guard. "Nothing can ever be the same as it was before," said Diane McCormick of the Morenci Miners Women's Auxiliary. "Look at us. At the beginning of this strike, we were just a bunch of ladies."

Styled by Kristen: "Nia Fashionista"
You know, I am really learning the fundamentals of this whole fashion blogging thing as I go along. And one thing I have to remind myself is to always stop to take the photo; even when you are in a rush.
For example, yesterday my sister and I went to H&M to find her something to where to this event we would be attending that evening. She already had the shoes; these incredibly awesome bright neon yellow Jeffrey Campbell platform sandals; we just needed the outfit to coordinate with them.
This picture does the shoes no justice. These look banana yellow when the are actually big-time NE-ON!!
I found her something super cute and as I was picking the pieces out, something told me to take out my camera and snap a few pics of the process. However, we were really rushing as our ride would be coming within the hour so pics would have to wait until later.
Luckily, with the exception of the jewelry, I was able to find pics of everything we bought for her last night.
The first thing that caught my eye was this top; here, the shirt looks "yellow"; but by yellow they mean BRIGHT neon yellow, just like Nia's shoes! Great place to start!
This color is very inaccurate but cute top, right?
Then a few racks over I saw this brilliant little cardigan! I actually wish now that I'd also gotten one for myself! (I may order one...hmmmm! :) For the occasion, though, the colors were just too perfect to pass up. I layered it over the yellow tank and it was a match made in heaven, if I may be dramatic. I showed Nia and she liked it as well! Sweet, two down; all we needed now were bottoms and accessories.
Because of the black tie around the waist, I wanted to find her some cute black pants. I was thinking shorts at first but the only black shorts I saw were too...I don't know...flowy? Looked too much like a skirt and plus, it gets pretty cool in the evening in D.C. so she needed something longer.
Nice and light and comfy and they looked really cute on Nia. I knew that because of the elasticated hems at the bottom of the pants, they would work well with the platform shoes. Don't ask me how I knew...I just knew! And I was right! More on that later.
For the accessories, I just pulled from the colors in the cardigan obviously, but I didn't want to get a matching set. For example, the earrings I found her were the same light mint green as the leaves in her cardigan, and I found her an orange and pink ring the same shade as the flowers and butterflies (not shown on the H&M website). I couldn't wait to see how it all looked together!
I know the presentation is a bit ratchet but again, I was rushing like crazy. The necklace you see there actually turned out to be too long and a bit unnecessary; particularly since the cardigan and the draped neck of the top were workin' it enough.
Stay fly, 'nistas and 'nistos!
Great job, madame stylist! I loved the look and now I have some great pieces to last me a long time in my wardrobe, WIN! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdyI4eIOjR-nC7NaQ | According to Barros and Pillon (2006), it is necessary the envolvement of professionals who act in all the levels of prevention in the primary attention, where the problems related to the alcohol consumption can be boarded in agreement the found necessities, and that they are effective in the scope of the assistance to the users of drugs. Necessary withholds of an informative potential next to these users and its families, the same occurring in relation to the community, of general form, fitting to the nurse the exploration of the individual potentialities, resources, valuation, qualification of all as a whole. Petta (apud BARROS; PILLON, 2006) affirms that this envolvement, allows that the primary prevention while worked in set, if it becomes effective, therefore includes: family; school; group and community contributing for the reduction of the problems related to the abusive alcohol consumption. Also Gonalves (apud BARROS; PILLON, 2006) affirms that the work with multiprofessional team allows to focus the practical social matters and the educative ones instead of approach dressing in this form of prevention.
In the secondary prevention, the performance of the professional can be directed to the specific users in a more objective intervention. However in the tertiary prevention, it needs? if the performance of professionals enabled to the treatment through the interventions, that make possible the accompaniment of the evolution of the dependent user, preventing the complications and contributing for the whitewashing of the dependent user of the alcohol. International studies demonstrate the efficiency of the brief interventions in the precocious detention of related problems to the alcohol. The identification of the problematic alcohol use can guarantee the prevention of problems for it caused, as, for example, cardiovascular illnesses and traffic accidents, reducing expenses, diminishing the number of medical consultations and optimizing the application of the available resources for the health (I LIE, 2007). However, it makes necessary to create feedback and thus to emphasize the users of bigger sensitivity to trace strategies to be carried through through Brief Interventions (education for the alcohol; basic orientaes; brief aconselhamento, selection, and encaminhamentos), suggested for Ronzani et al.
During the phase of the adolescence, antomo-physiological changes (puberty) occur of abrupt form. These changes will have repercussions in the psicossocial development of the adolescent. Thus, one becomes necessary to know as if they process such transformations. According to Moraes (2000 apud CROMACK and CUPTI, 2009), in the body of the adolescents, or better, of the pubescent one, if they process wide hormonais changes, that speed up its growth physicist and also the development of the secondary sexual characters. The sped up and not equaled physical growth? since some parts of the body if develop more quickly than others? it surprises the adolescent who passes not to recognize itself in its proper body. Its corporal project not yet if adaptou to the growth, in way that it starts to esbarrar in some objects, to knock down things, to hug fort excessively the other people, because it lost, or better, not yet redimencionou its perception of space, time and force, to the new body that started to possess.
The appearance of secondary sexual characters strengthens this point wide, influencing in the auto-image of the adolescent, in the form as it sees its body modified and in modification process. The emotional questions are of utmost importance in the adolescence, a time that have a direct and intrinsic influence in the formation of the identity of the adolescent, therefore are a moment of transformation and readjustment in the search of I, of personal identity. So that if it conquers this identity, it will be necessary that the adolescent develops autonomy, confidence and initiative who will be propitiated by the social context. In this period the conflicts if arise; this search of the identity generates a confusion of identity. To arrive the resolution of this conflict, the necessary adolescent to work its abilities and to organize themselves to form this identity. This search is healthful, since that throughout its development, in its relation with the way it has had the aiding to the acquisition of experiences and values that are primordial in the construction of this identity (ALMEIDA and PEPPER, 2002).
The implication of the family in the abusive use of drugs: a critical revision: The above-mentioned text makes a well realistic boarding of what we live in the clinic. In fact, we agree that the family is a risk factor and of potential prominence when the adolescent coexists parents, familiar and next friends who make use of drugs, either allowed it as the drink, or not. If the young has conviviality with people wanted in houses stuffed with drinks, the adolescent will have stimulates to use or until abusing the alcohol and other drugs. At Herbalife you will find additional information. We believe that the question of the drug is related with the disequilibrium, an instability moment, in the question ' ' limite' '. The family today comes across itself with the difficulty to impose rules and limits for its children, whom due to a strong bond, they search to try ' ' novo' ' with intention to fill an emptiness that nor reality social and not even the family fills? in virtue of the fragility of the bond. Another boarded point in the very common text in the speech of the family: Imputation of the responsibility of the treatment, only exclusively, to one has equipped of professionals being in ' ' casa' ' waiting that ' ' curem' ' its son.
They do not want comprometimento and believe, perhaps, that the responsibility of the familiar context is to defray the treatment. For times we perceive that this ' ' son usurio' ' the drug he is dealt with by the family as an object. The necessity to rescue the family for the formation of bonds is of utmost importance in the work of recovery of this son. We cannot deny that the adolescent one searchs the drug, also, for conflicts in the family.
The man is one all integral and indivisvel' '. Plato The construction of the thought makes the man to leave the indescritvel solitude of the existencial unconsciousness, where the everything and the nothing is the same thing, and if it becomes a pensante being, an intelligent being, a being that conscience of itself has exactly and of the other it surrounds that it. CURY, 2006. The emotional state (as I am), in data existencial moment, determines the amount and the quality of the windows opened, being able until contracting the opening of these windows. It has a dance of windows that occurs from the quality of the emotions, propitiating an increase of the intellectual capacity.
She is necessary to open the conflict borders so that if it can have access to other windows and make with that I become protagonists of its proper history. The environment of the memory (what I am) this in I continue evolutivo process, therefore the personality this always in an evolution process. The more information will be incorporated, more become enlarged the base of the memory, propitiating amount and quality in the chain of thought. Another environment capable to influence the construction of the thought is the social one (where I am). It is capable to intervene consequentemente with the emotional state and the degree of opening of the windows of the memory and with the construction of the chain of thoughts. Being to be biopsicossocial the man he must be seen as a whole, therefore, beyond suffering interferences from the emotional state, the intrapsiquica memory and the social environment in the production of the thought, it suffers, still, interferences of the cerebral metabolic environment, this intervenes with the process of construction of the thought due the deficiency of neurotransmitters (serotonina), taking the metabolic depression and other processes (infection, hipotiroidismo).
Being able to disable the correction of routes leading the repetitive errors and making it difficult the process of construction of thoughts. Exactly observing one ahead of one exactly object can have distinct interpretations at two distinct moments, this happens due to variation of the environment. Therefore, in embroidery frames of the mind human being, the interpretation process suffers influences of some 0 variable, that take in them to ahead produce thoughts distinct of the same stimulatons and objects. We are distinct micron and macro to each existencial moment. | c4 | 1 | 5 | 4 | 5 |
