A little over a year ago, Black Sabbath announced that they had disbanded. But that doesn't mean that there isn't more to look back at in the legendary career of the pioneering metal band. Rhino has just announced Supersonic Years: The Seventies Singles Box Set, a limited-edition collection of ten 7-inch vinyl singles, due June 8. Despite the massive success of their albums, Black Sabbath never had that much success in the singles market, aside from their breakout "Paranoid" from 1970,

BkiUd6s4uzki0w_tlE8d | San Diego's Kelly Marie Tran is Disney's first Southeast Asian princess
Raya (voiced by Kelly Marie Tran) and Sisu (voiced by Awkwafina) in the movie "Raya and the Last Dragon."
(Disney)
By Nina GarinEditor
March 4, 2021 9:33 AM PT
If you're a Disney princess, chances are you have an iconic, character-defining song — Ariel has "Part of Your World," Tiana has "Almost There," Mulan has "Reflection" and, of course, Elsa has "Let It Go" and "Into the Unknown."
But there's no song for Raya, the newest princess from the film "Raya and the Last Dragon." Instead, Raya is more of an action hero, a warrior — fighting to save the legacy of her land, battling to protect dragon magic.
"I'm really excited about what Raya is because it's an action movie, and that's not something we've seen a lot in the Disney world," said actress Kelly Marie Tran, who voices Raya. "It's really cool to be a part of that change."
The warrior Raya and her trusty steed Tuk Tuk in the Disney animated film "Raya and the Last Dragon."
In this latest movie from Walt Disney Animation Studios, the people of Kumandraare living apart and at odds with each other. But when an ancient evil returns, Raya is tasked with finding a mythical dragon and reuniting her fractured homeland.
The thing is, though, if Raya had been given a song, Tran would've been able to sing it.
The San Diego-bred actress grew up in the local theater community, playing coveted roles at Westview High School like Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls" and Connie in "A Chorus Line."
She also performed and sang while she was a student at Palomar College, and when she transferred to the University of California Los Angeles, she joined an acapella group.
"I wasn't even majoring in performance, I was majoring in communications," she said. "I think I knew I wanted to perform, but had no idea how to do it. I was absolutely afraid of it."
Even now, after a film and TV career that includes high-profile roles like Rose Tico from the recent "Star Wars" movies, Tran continues her voice training. She takes regular lessons in Los Angeles, where she lives now, and occasionally (before the pandemic) when she visited family, she'd pop in to see her San Diego teacher.
"You know what, I'm really hoping for a musical in my future," she said. "We'll see."
Disney's first Southeast Asian princess
Raya (voiced by Kelly Marie Tran) in "Raya and the Last Dragon."
Without the added challenge of singing a princess anthem, Tran was instead able to focus all her energy on something much more significant: being Disney's first Southeast Asian princess. It's an honor and a distinction that the Vietnamese American actress takes very seriously.
"Southeast Asia is a part of the world that is just not celebrated that often," she said. "It means a lot to me, and I think it would have meant a lot to me as a young girl, watching someone like this. ... The importance of it is something that I think about a lot."
Though it wasn't planned this way, she said it's especially important to have "Raya and the Last Dragon" get released now, when hate crimes against Asian Americans are spiking.
"It's such an emotionally difficult time for anyone in the Asian community because there are these horrific attacks that seemingly are not ending," she said. "And one thing I'm so excited about is that in the face of all of that horrendous news ... we get to release something on such a big scale that is celebrating where we come from. And I think that in a world that teaches you to be afraid, in a world that teaches you you don't belong, the more we celebrate and find joy in an experience like this, it's like a rebellion in its own way."
Of course, anyone familiar with Tran through the "Star Wars" movies knows she's had firsthand experience in harassment.
Her character Rose was the first woman of color to have a major onscreen presence in the franchise, and though that came with a lot of excitement, it came with even more hatred. Tran endured so much racist bullying that she deleted her popular Instagram account in 2018 and still hasn't returned to the platform.

"That really taught me to think about the way in which I interact with the world, the way the world interacts with me, and maybe to ask myself in those moments where you're feeling doubt or feeling afraid, 'OK, am I the crazy one or is the world the crazy one?' " she said. "There's this poem that says even a butterfly feels ugly if it's amidst moths, because you just want to feel like you belong. I think that this experience has taught me not to internalize anyone else's hate, but to recognize that there are parts of myself that I'm really proud of, and I hope that other people can experience that, too."
The land of Kumandra

Though "Raya and the Last Dragon" takes place in the fictional land of Kumandra, it draws on the traditions from countries including Thailand, Laos, the Philippines and Vietnam.
And because much of the creative team and the cast is also Southeast Asian, the portrayals of everything from the dragons and scenery to the wardrobe and music are based in authenticity.
"The one thing that has been such a blessing during this entire experience is that a lot of the creators are also from Southeast Asia — so many people were making sure that this movie was going to authentically represent this specific part of the world," Tran explained. "Everyone was being so cognizant of that, and being so careful about what messages we were putting out to the world ... because it is a Disney movie, and we know what kind of global reach it has."
The dragon, for example, has a distinct serpentine look specific to the region. And unlike European dragons that breathe fire and are feared, Asian dragons are connected to water and life, symbolizing luck and fortitude.
Because Raya is a warrior, the fighting styles are also based on traditional methods including hand-to-hand fighting from Malaysia and Indonesia. Even Raya's sword was inspired by a kris, or keris blade found on weapons from Southeast Asian countries.
Still, even though "Raya and the Last Dragon" focuses on specificity and authenticity, Tran said her main focus was making her character universal.
"My job is creating a character that is so honest that people can see themselves in it," she said. "When you're an actor and you play a character, you think, 'If I'm doing it right I'm going to leave changed.' And I left playing this character changed. Raya taught me that despite the world being broken and it being hard and scary, she still puts herself on the line and risks everything to fight for a world she's not even sure can exist — a world that's better than the one she lives in. And that is something I want to live by, too."

BkiUdi05qsNCPictsllT | Crosby County Biography
Roy and Mabel Terrell
The story goes that Roy's grandfather, Robert A. Terrell's orchard lay in a direct path of the proposed railroad being built in Kaufman County, Texas. Robert was grateful enough to get rail service he offered the property to the Railroad Company free of charge. The company grateful for Mr. Terrell's attitude built a town nearby and gave it the name of Terrell.
James Robert Terrell and Mary Broyles were married in Terrell and settled in nearby Royse City where Roy was born November 13, 1886.
There were eight children born to the J.R. Terrell family, seven of which grew to maturity: William H., Mae, Ed, Broyles, Roy, Myrtle and Vesta.
The Terrell's spent a few years in Stonewall County struggling with a farm and a limited cattle operation.
In December of 1905, after J.R. had investigated the new settlements on the Plains, the Terrell's moved to Crosby County and settled on a section of land one mile south of the Farmer School house.
At the time of the move, Roy was 18 years old. He enrolled at the Farmer School for his last year of high school.
T. Detwiler was the only teacher for about twenty students from first through high school grades.
Roy bought his first land from his father for $4.00 an acre before he enrolled in Seth Ward Methodist College at Plainview in 1909.
He got a job working with the Demont Nursery, selling fruit trees from farm to farm to pay his living expenses and tuition.
In 1909 he made his rounds in a horse an buggy. Before the 1910 term he bought a "Flying X-Buzzard" Harley-Davidson motorcycle, which was the first cycle registered in Crosby County.
The cycle enabled Roy to cover more territory than he had the previous year. His route covered all the North Texas Plains, including Canyon, Amarillo and Jerico, to name a few. The most profitable territory was Dickens and Motley County. The largest shipment was a railroad car load which was sent to Roaring Springs.
The enterprising adventure with a fruit tree catalogue provided Roy with a college education, a new cycle and twenty-eight head of cattle.
After completing his schooling he lived with his brother, Broyles, in the Robertson community, where they farmed individual farms and built up their individual holdings as well as partnership property.
They were unable to farm all the property by themselves so part of it was rented out on the third and fourths and part on the halves (landholder furnished the teams, tools and blacksmith work and tenant furnished the labor.)
They started their farming operation with four head of bronc mules and a walking sod plow. The gathered their first Kaffir corn crop with a sled rigged with a sharpened saw blade that clipped the maize stalks with either Broyles or Roy's hand tying the stalks together to make bundles. Thus began a lifetime partnership adventure in the agriculture industry on the South Plains.
The Methodists organized a Sunday School in the old Robertson school house and Roy was appointed Sunday School superintendent. His duties brought him in contact with all the members of the community as well as the young lady that would become his wife, Mabel Robertson, daughter of W.M. "Fiddler" Robertson and Olivia Waldrip.
Roy called on Mabel first in a buggy. Later he bought a new motorcycle that had a seat on the side and he called on Mabel on the cycle. She didn't really care for the cycle much but she went along like a good sport.
On October 19, 1916, they were married in the Methodist parsonage in Slaton by Rev. Pipkin.
Mabel had been attending school in Slaton where she was boarding with her sister, Myrtle Forest, who was teaching in the Slaton school. Her brother, Bryant, bought her a light blue crepe wedding dress from a store in Post and she selected a few other things in Bassett's Store at Crosbyton.
Roy sold his cycle to Frank McLaughlin, a Lorenzo banker, and bought a Model T Ford car two days before he was married.
Roy traded Cliff Westerman some cows to build a two room box and strip house where they set up housekeeping and built on to it as their family grew.
The Terrell's have four sons, William Alfred, R.B., Marvin and Allen Ray. The boys attended school in Robertson until 1926 when the Terrell's moved to Lorenzo.
June 14, 1926 Roy accepted the job as city secretary for the town of Lorenzo. He wound up working for thirteen years for the city.
He served six years as county commissioner earlier in life during the time when a person would have to drive to Ralls, Crosbyton then south to get to Kalgary or else go by horseback from Robertson. He engineered the first bridge that crossed the White River between Kalgary and Spur. During this time the county got their mechanized equipment through Roy's road funds. His was the only precinct that had enough funds to pay the freight on some army surplus machinery that was available to the county government. The whole county used the machinery.
Roy served four years on the he county agricultural committee and served as chairman three years out of the four.
"In the days you didn't have to sign an agreement that you would run for a job, they just put your name on a ticket for mayor." The next thing I knew they had my name on the ticket for mayor.
He was elected and served for two years and then four years on the City Council.
The Terrells are now retired and live in a new home in Lorenzo where they have spent most of their days.
Roy is a charter member of the Lorenzo Lions Club and is now an honorary member of the Crippled Children's Camp at Kerrville.
He has been a Mason fifty yeas and he and Mabel have supported Cal Farley's Boys' Ranch for over 35 years.
Mrs. Terrell has been active in WSCS of the Methodist Church and has held almost every office in the organization. She is a past Worthy Matron of the Order of Eastern Star and currently is serving as Chapter Mother in the Idalou O.E.S.

BkiUfWY5qhDCYT-7hjb4 | Workforce relevance, something deeply missing among college students and graduates compared to other developed nations, is forcing more accountability among colleges and universities, as the article below iterates. Students (and their parents) are increasingly focused on education being relevant to the job market, and the response to that demand is changing higher education. With the high cost of college and the economic lull in the U.S. and around the world, more families are demanding that colleges and universities prepare students to land jobs upon graduation, not just degrees. For example, Thomas College, a liberal arts school in Maine, advertises itself as "Home of the Guaranteed Job!" Students who can't find work in their fields within six months of graduation can come back to take classes free, or have the college pay their student loans for a year. The shift in attitudes is reflected in a shifting curriculum. Nationally, business has been the most popular major for the last 15 years. Campuses also report a boom in public health fields, and many institutions are building up environmental science and just about anything prefixed with "bio." Reflecting the new economic and global realities, they are adding or expanding majors in Chinese and Arabic. The University of Michigan has seen a 38 percent increase in students enrolling in Asian language courses since 2002, while French has dropped by 5 percent.
According to the BLS, six of the top seven fastest-growing occupations are low-skill, low-wage jobs. Harvard University labor economist Lawrence Katz says the challenge is to professionalize these jobs by focusing on skills. Better education and/or training leads to higher wages.
What are your placement rates, internship/apprenticeship opportunities and alumni involvement with current students?
What jobs could this degree lead me to? When somebody asks, "How are you going to use that English degree?" students need to be able to clearly articulate what they are able to do. If they don't know, employers probably won't either.
How can individuals and companies improve skills in an affordable and accessible manner?
How can people who start in low wage jobs increase their knowledge and skills to prepare for better, more sustainable future work?
This month we begin a new decade with a big economic question: Where are the jobs?
The first decade of this century ended as a disaster for employment. Since the recession began two years ago, the U.S. has lost more than 7 million jobs.
Just to regain the jobs we've lost will be a huge challenge, says Harvard University labor economist Lawrence Katz. "We would need well over 300,000 [jobs] a month for four years in a row just to make up what we've lost in the last couple of years," Katz says.
He says there are very few periods in U.S. history when job growth has been that strong. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

6 Years After, Mimiko Now to Conduct Council Poll
Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko has said his government is ready to conduct elections into the 18 local government areas of the state this year. This resolve is coming six years after his administration assumed office in the state.
Governor Mimiko upon assumption of office had headed for an Akure High Court where he sought for the dissolution of the 18 councils on the grounds that the former administration of late Governor Olusegun Agagu was restrained from conducting the council election on December 15, 2007.
Justice Nelson Adeyanju of the court had ruled that the election that brought the council bosses into office was illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.
Following the court order, Mimiko dissolved the councils and constituted caretaker committees for the 18 local governments.
But speaking during the presentation of the 2015 budget to the state's House of Assembly in Akure, the state capital, Mimiko said he had allocated the sum of N800million for the conduct of the election and sought the lawmakers' approval for the election.
He described a situation whereby his administration had not been able to conduct local government council elections in the state in the past six years as unfortunate.
"It is rather unfortunate that we have not been able to conduct local government elections in the state in the past years and this is not unconnected with legal encumbrances placed on our path.
"It is, however, gladdening to note that as a result of the recent political re-alignments in the state, all the legal impediments are being amicably resolved; the horizon has become clear that local government election will be a joyous reality this year.
"Hence, a sum of Eight Hundred Million Naira has been provided for the conduct of local government election this year," he said.
But the question is -why are most governors content with appointing caretaker committees to run the local governments instead of providing the enabling atmosphere for the emergence of democratically elected chairmen and councillors as provided for in the constitution?

BkiUbSvxK7Dgs_XS-IUC | Online PR News – 02-December-2016 – Several members of the employer-led Business Champions Supporting Adult Credential Completion initiative were recently in Chicago to review efforts underway to ensure that more working adults obtain industry-recognized credential or college degrees to fulfill job demands, Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) CEO and President Pamela Tate announced today. The meeting, "The Working Learner: Business Champions Share Key Workplace Initiatives" was held at CAEL's international conference and was designed to share best practices to encourage business to adopt practices that help working adults earn the credentials they need to succeed.
Moderated by John Colborn, COO JEVS Human Services, (former Director of Skills for America's Future, The Aspen Institute) the panelists included Mary Jo Burfeind, Vice President, Human Resources, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Michael Johnson, Retired CHRO UPS, CEO, Johnson Talent Development and Kimo Kippen, Chief Learning Officer for Hilton Worldwide. The panelists discussed a variety of initiatives in place to help employees and the elements necessary in them to ensure success. Panelists outlined a host of programs ranging from apprenticeships and advising to others that waive tuition until after the student has graduated to reduce out-of-pocket expenses for employees. They also discussed the value of partnering with colleges and universities and of offering on-site and on-line degree options.
Increasing postsecondary credential achievement will be critical to keeping the country competitive. In a study by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, the nation is currently on track, by 2020, to have a shortage of 5 million workers with postsecondary credentials. Business Champions for Credential Completion is designed to help bridge the shortage and is funded by Lumina Foundation and administered by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning. It includes top companies across the United States representing a wide variety of sectors from agriculture to health care to retail.
"At CAEL, we're constantly reminded that in the next decade, more than half of all American jobs will require employees with postsecondary credentials, and we thank the program participants for sharing their success as we work together to address this issue," concluded Tate.
The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) is a nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization based in Chicago, Illinois that assists adults with their educational endeavors. CAEL works with the public sector, private sector industries and higher education institutions to ensure that adult students and workers receive the most efficient training and education to occupy a meaningful professional place in a 21st century economy. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbJzxK1ThhAcYifce | I cannot book a free award seat from AYQ to CNS because res is saying not available. However I can book an award seat from AYQ to Darwin (get this) connecting through CNS.
So what happens if I book it this way and just get off in CNS and don't do the CNS to Darwin portion? Afterall I would be getting the AYQ-CNS portion that I want on the day I want. Is there a way to do this without messing up the remainder of any other part of my trip or return flights back to the USA?
Firstly, QF awards are all calculated as return trips, so it will cost you the points for AYQ-Darwin and return, even if you only want to go one-way.
If you are intending to return, you will likely find the remainder of your intinerary has been cancelled because you failed to reboard in Cairns. Any checked baggage will be tagged and sent to Darwin. Not reboarding in Cairns will likely cause QF some angst as they page you and hold up the flight trying to locate you. So they won't look lightly on the exercise.
They certainly do some strange things with inventory on multi-sector routes. This is not unique to award seats. I have had similar things in D class (RTW Business class) and there was no flexibility. In that case I wanted to join the flight at the interim port, but had to route to the originating port and fly both sectors. There was nothing the reservations people could do, even as a platinum paying customer. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

GEORGETOWN, Ky. — Long hours and many deadlines have paid off for Campbellsville University's Jeannie Clark, director and producer for WLCU-TV. Clark was named the Mid-South Conference Media Person of the Year on Wednesday, June 1 during the conference's annual meetings at Georgetown College. The award is voted on by MSC sports information directors.

"I am honored and very appreciative for even being nominated for something like this. I did not see it coming," Clark said. "I enjoy working with sports and love the challenge it presents, because it's spontaneous and you never see the same thing twice. Athletics is a great platform to promote Campbellsville University."
During the past year, Clark directed, produced and edited weekly television shows including the "Perry Thomas Show" and "Inside CU Sports" for local programming in Campbellsville and state-wide programming on the Wazoo Sports Network. She also has served as director/producer for live television broadcasts of home football games and home MSC basketball games on Campbellsville's WLCU-TV, which is broadcast on Comcast Cable channel 10 and streamed online.
In addition, Clark helped provide service and equipment to stream each game of the 2010 and 2011 Mid-South Conference Baseball Tournament online. And on April 6, 2011, she produced the first-ever live televised baseball game from Campbellsville's Tiger Field.
"Jeannie is the most energetic director or producer with whom l have ever worked," said Dr. Keith Spears, vice president for regional and professional development. "She is filled with ideas and cares not who gets the credit, just that it is professionally accomplished and represents the medium well."
In addition to her athletics work, Clark has served as director/producer for WLCU-TV regular shows such as John Chowning's "Dialogue on Public Issues," Al Hardy's "People, Places and Things" and Taylor Regional Hospital's "Let's Talk Health." WLCU-TV also broadcasts live chapel services, FIRST CLASS sessions and commencement ceremonies. Clark, Director of Broadcast Services Jim Wooley and WLCU student workers often video other special events for archival purposes, special projects or commercials.
"Jeannie is very deserving of the award, and is a dedicated professional," Wooley said.
Clark was unable to attend the MSC meeting June 1 because she was helping to produce a live one-hour program in Louisville, which featured Campbellsville University on "WAVE 3 Listens," a morning talk show on Louisville's NBC affiliate station.
WLCU-TV includes Comcast Cable channel 10 and Comcast Cable channel 22, which serves as an information channel for the Taylor County community. Also, the new WLCU 88.7 FM radio station became part of Campbellsville's Broadcast Services in March 2011.
This is the second year a television professional has been named MSC Media Person of the Year, as the WYMT sports staff in Hazard, Ky., and the Wazoo Sports Network shared the honor in 2010. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUe8M25V5jLX3kilhF | Volvo Cars first to launch direct integration with Google Assistant-enabled devices
Volvo Cars will be the first car maker to directly integrate its cars with Google Assistant-enabled devices, a step in the continued partnership between Volvo Cars and Google.
This planned direct integration allows for the most seamless connection between Google Assistant and cars to date, letting Volvo Cars customers control functions in their car by issuing voice commands to Google Assistant-enabled home and mobile devices. By pairing their Volvo car with their Google account, customers can directly talk to Google in their car and remotely control a variety of functionalities, such as warming it up on a cold winter day or locking the car.
The integration with Google Assistant reflects Volvo Cars' ambition to provide its customers with convenience and peace of mind, and the list of available commands will continue to grow in the future.
With this integration, users can get help receive information related to their car remotely at any time Planned future functionalities include charging scheduling, which allows customers to set specific times when they want their car to start charging, and more.
"Volvo Car Group was first to introduce Google technology and services in our cars – it is a natural next step in our partnership with Google," said Henrik Green, chief product officer at Volvo Cars. "This integration allows us to improve the customer experience immensely, as it gives customers the possibility to easily and securely manage their car while at home or on the go, through any personal device that has Google Assistant."
Volvo Cars also aims for the integration of its cars with Google Assistant to support the company's ongoing move towards full electrification. As a result, it aims to introduce features that can help customers reach the full carbon emission-reducing potential in their pure electric Volvo cars.
In the future, Volvo Cars aims to make the charging experience as convenient as it is productive.
For more sensitive commands – such as unlocking the car – a two-factor authentication process ensures that only the right people can hear or access the right information at the right time.
The functionality will be made available in coming months gradually to all Volvo drivers with an infotainment powered by Android that is connected to their Volvo Cars app and a Google Assistant-enabled device and in select areas where Google Assistant is available. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdus5qWTD6lY8YFl8 | Nick Faber … presents The Lost Highway Tapes
October 2, 2020 By jerobear
It's always a problem reviewing albums from bands like Biffy Clyro or Foals: you know the sound, you expect the quality, and unless they cover Agadoo badly, you're not going to be surprised. It might be the pinnacle of musical perfection, but it's hard to get worked up about.
The flipside is that albums from unknowns are brilliant, and a pleasure to play. This is one of those.
Perhaps not surprising: Nick Faber is neither young nor inexperienced: he's a record producer and the genesis for this album was a road-trip in the 90s, when he came cross a weathered busker in his late 50s, playing blues on a steel guitar.
Faber forgot the busker when he got home but, 20 years later, came across a singer busking in London, and it all came back. This album is the result, and that second busker is on here.
We were expecting an earnest blues album, but you'd not really think of blues for much of the album; it's more breakbeat and it's got soul, funk and disco aplenty. There's as much heavy riffage and pop strumming as blues.
We think Faber looped most of the rhythms, either playing the beat himself and repeating, or just via programming (or he's got a more metronomic drummer than New Order's Stephen Morris). The drumming is always tight and crisp, often breakbeat and while it's distinctive, it's what else is going on that makes the songs good.
The standout song is Something To Say, one of the simpler beats but a hypnotic earworm of a tune. The overall sound reminds us of Edwyn Collins' A Girl Like You. Also excellent is the Stevie Wonder-ish Sensational, a funky soul tune as luscious as anything Wonder ever did. Sensational is nearly as good as its title: tight beat, repetitive guitar and a pulsing feel.
There is some blues – Soon You'll Be Mine is a nippy number featuring guitar and harmonica, and Search And You'll Find is funky blues. The instrumental Packing Case Blues on the other hand is less blues and more cheery soundtrack to programme about life on a canal boat. It's not the only instrumental: The Sickness is a funky disco number that reminded us of Deodato's Also Sprach Zarathustra.
Highway To The Stars, one of slower tunes, is an Air-style ambient late night chillout song, but with a good beat. Possibly not a classic but certainly an album you could grow very fond of; we must have played it 40 times so far and have not wearied of it yet.

BkiUetnxK03BfMLyrUSi | Grenache (pronounced gren-aash) (Spanish: Garnacha, IPA: [ɡarˈnatʃa]; Catalan: Garnatxa, IPA: [ɡərˈnatʃə] or [ɡaɾˈnatʃa]) is one of the most widely planted red wine grape varieties in the world. It ripens late, so it needs hot, dry conditions such as those found in Spain, the south of France, and California's San Joaquin Valley. It is generally spicy, berry-flavored and soft on the palate with a relatively high alcohol content, but it needs careful control of yields for best results. It tends to lack acid, tannin and color, and is usually blended with other varieties such as Syrah, Carignan, Tempranillo and Cinsaut. Grenache is the dominant variety in most Southern Rhône wines, especially in Châteauneuf-du-Pape where it is typically over 80% of the blend. In Australia it is typically blended in "GSM" blends with Syrah and Mourvèdre. Grenache is also used to make rosé wines in France and Spain, notably those of the Tavel district in the Côtes du Rhône. And the high sugar levels of Grenache have led to extensive use in fortified wines, including the red vins doux naturels of Roussillon such as Banyuls, and as the basis of most Australian fortified wine. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbq04dbjiVEKCI39l | George Sargent (1 US Open)
George Sargent (2 August 1882 – 18 June 1962)[1] was an English professional golfer.
Sargent was born in Dorking, Surrey, England to William Henry Sargent and Amelia Jane Harkett,[1] and began his golf career at age twelve at Epsom Downs Golf Club in his home county. In 1900 he finished fourth at The Open Championship. Soon afterwards he moved to Canada, where he served as a professional at Royal Ottawa Golf Club and finished second in the 1908 Canadian Open. He married Beatrice Margaret Pearse (1886–1968) in 1907 and fathered eleven children.[1]
Sargent won the 1909 U.S. Open at Englewood Golf Club in New Jersey. He set a new 72-hole scoring record for the tournament of 290. He played in sixteen U.S. Opens in total, and finished in the top-10 six times. He also won the 1912 Canadian Open and the 1918 Minnesota State Open.
Sargent became a member of the Professional Golfers' Association of America at its inception in 1916, and served as president for five years. He is credited with introducing the use of motion pictures to study the golf swing. He was head professional at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio from 1912 to 1924, at Interlachen Country Club in Minneapolis, Minnesota from 1924 to 1928, at the Chevy Chase Club from 1928 to 1932, and at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, from 1932 until his retirement fifteen years later.

Category: Books that Were Once Bestsellers
The phenomenal International Number One Bestseller With exclusive interviews with Richie McCaw, Steve Hansen, Beauden Barrett and Dan Carter, The Jersey is the first definitive story behind the greatest sports team on the planet. 'Extremely well written. Compelling, accurate, insightful and brilliant in the way it captures the New Zealand way. - John Hart, former All Blacks coach. With a better winning record than any other sports team in history, they stand head and shoulders above their nearest rugby rivals, and go to the 2019 World Cup as back-to-back World Champions. How did a country of just 4.8 million people conquer the world? Peter Bills, who has reported on international rugby for more than 40 years, was given exclusive access to all the key figures in New Zealand rugby as he set out to understand the secrets behind the All Blacks success. From Steve Hansen to Beauden Barrett, Richie McCaw to the late Sir Colin Meads, Peter Bills talked at length with over 90 people, both in New Zealand and around the world, with intimate knowledge of what makes the All Blacks tick. This is a story of the first settlers, and the 'Originals' who forged the All Blacks legacy, right through to modern times. It draws heavily on the contributions made by all New Zealanders: players, coaches, officials, supporters and those who have worn the most recognized jersey in the world. Intrinsically, The Jersey goes to the heart of the All Blacks success. It is also an epic story of not just a rugby team but a nation, whose identities are inextricably linked. Additionally, it debates a question, terrifying for any of their opponents. Could the All Blacks get even better?

BkiUdxc5qsBDGOt8lr4P | Jasper National Park with its vast wilderness is a winter enthusiast's paradise.
Five Jasper trails are newly designated for snowshoeing and fat tire biking. "Snowshoeing is an affordable sport that allows trail users of all abilities to connect to the park," says Joseph Zebrowski of Parks Canada. Find maps at the Information Centre; rental shops and tours are listed in our activities directory.
Cold Fire Creek Dogsledding offers excursions as short as an hour. But for a unique overnight experience, book the 36-km Our Little Bit of Heaven tour, suggests Cold Fire owner Amanda Sinclair. Travel by dog sled up BC's Robson Valley to a cozy log cabin, where you can snowshoe to frozen falls, relax in the wood-fuelled sauna, and enjoy good food and cheer by the fireplace. The next morning, help load the sleds and harness your team before heading out.
The Icefields Parkway, the scenic highway from Jasper to Lake Louise, turned 75 in 2015. Called the 'Wonder Trail' and 'Glacier Trail' by early explorers, the then-unpaved route took weeks to travel by packhorse. The road was built from 1931 to 1940; it now provides easy access to Marmot Basin ski area, cross-country ski trails, and frozen Athabasca, Sunwapta and Tangle waterfalls before rising to the renowned majesty of the Columbia Icefield and Athabasca Glacier, just over an hour drive south of town.
After it snows, the golf course driving range at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge transforms into a toboggan park. Ice more your speed? Try curling on Lac Beauvert in front of the hotel, or skating on the huge oval or hockey rinks at nearby Mildred Lake. Rent a toboggan, tube, sled, snowshoes or skates at the Golf Course Clubhouse.
Rockaboo Mountain Adventures' Maligne Canyon ice climbing tours suit all skill levels since routes range from easy to advanced. "We've had clients seven to 70; if you can climb a ladder you'll be fine," says owner/guide Max Darrah. Transport and gear are provided. "Just bring warm clothes," Darrah suggests.
On evening ice walks at Maligne Canyon, ice formations glisten in the moonlight. "Guides use spotlights to illuminate frozen waterfalls up to 30 m tall. Nothing compares to turning off the headlamps at viewpoints along the trail, and taking in the stars in Jasper's Dark Sky Preserve," says Maligne Adventures' Craig McCarthy.

BkiUdSQ4uBhi1_IMieYl | Many people avoid the dentist because of overwhelming fear and anxiety, leading to unnecessary oral health problems. Others are simply afraid of the discomfort that they believe comes with so many dental procedures. If this describes you, Dr. Byron McKnight can use sedation dentistry to lessen your discomfort and dental anxiety.
Dr. McKnight offers oral sedation to provide deep relaxation during your dental procedures. Once Dr. McKnight has determined that you can safely take an oral sedative, he'll prescribe Halcion to be taken approximately one hour before your visit. During your procedure, you will feel drowsy while remaining awake, and some patients become so relaxed that they don't remember much about the procedure afterward. Dr. McKnight provides sedation dentistry in a safe, relaxing environment where you will be closely monitored at all times.
For even more extensive procedures such as a full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. McKnight enlists the help of an anesthesiologist to provide IV sedation in our Mesquite dental office. Your dental phobia can become a thing of the past after experiencing sedation dentistry with Byron McKnight, DDS, MAGD. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Put in the Work to See Your Dreams Come True Donna Taylor
Donna Taylor »
The big news this month is that Saturn changes signs. This only happens once every two and half years, so it's a rather important time in the astrological calendar. Signs that will be particularly interested in this planetary shift will be Scorpio, who has had the pleasure of Saturn's company during these past two years, and Sagittarius, who is preparing to put out the welcome mat, frantically whipping round the house trying to make sure everything is in order. After all, Saturn can be quite a stern taskmaster, reminding us of our responsibilities and the importance of hard work: If we want something, we have to put in the effort.
Saturn starts hyperventilating whenever he hears people talking about manifesting in glib terms. If we think that all we have to do to manifest our dream homes is to visualize them or that we can cosmically order the perfect partner, we will likely be disappointed. Of course, it isn't that these things aren't possible. It's just that they're highly unlikely when Saturn's around. He is the down-to-earth realist, so this is important information to bear in mind if you're born under the sign of the Archer.
Yours might be the luckiest sign of the zodiac, but even an Archer's good fortune can run a little thin when Saturn comes to visit, so it's perhaps best to say things as they are: For the next two to three years, things won't come so easily to the Sagittarius. Challenges may have to be faced, and things will have to be worked for. Saturn has no time for shortcuts, quick fixes, or wishful thinking. He does, however, have plenty of time for hard work, perseverance, and responsibility — all of which will be richly rewarded for the Sagittarians if they're prepared to put the effort in.

BkiUeLfxK6nrxrSHgWVB | The obvious lesson of this story is to make sure that you renew your travel insurance as the insurance company will not pay claims if you forget or don't bother to renew the insurance. I understand from article that this expatriate was in Thailand for eight years – if this was the case he should have had an expatriate health insurance policy instead of a short term travel medical policy that is really onyl meant for trips of up to 1 or 2 years at the most. This is an important lesson that any expatriate or traveller should remember. Every month we encounter people who have let their expatriate medical insurance or tarvel medical insurance expire. Some companies will renew your policy without any problems while others will not renew or demand that the client purchase a brand policy. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdxPxK1yAgYaM26KM | Friends, family gather on eve of World AIDS Day
There are real stories, real people remembered at the National Aids Memorial Grove in San Francisco.
"It's amazing to see something like this come out of the whole process," Sharon Marcus said.
It's a magical place of healing for those who lost loved ones to AIDS over the last three decades.
The memorial grove, on seven acres in Golden Gate Park, was created in 1991, 10 years into the AIDS epidemic when 17,000 San Francisco citizens had died.
"They were going to more funerals in a year than birthdays; so they started planting trees here and 120,000 volunteer hours later and 20 years later, we have not only what I think is the most revered part of the park but also a federally designated memorial," National Aids Memorial Grove Executive Director John Cunningham said.
On Thursday, they'll honor Bill Clinton at the grove for making it a national monument.
Wednesday night though, the honoree was the first openly gay U.S. ambassador.
"How can we collectively and individually move forward so that World Aids Day doesn't become a permanent tradition?" James Hormel said.
The dream is by next year to create a virtual grove online where people around the world can take refuge. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUcNPxK0fkXPSOpOnp | Rainwater harvesting enjoys enormous growth across U.S.
AUSTIN, TX, Oct. 1, 2009 -- The nation's interest in "green" living and "green" jobs is continuing to fuel the growth of the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association...
• National association elects new board to manage growth
AUSTIN, TX, Oct. 1, 2009 -- The nation's interest in "green" living and "green" jobs is continuing to fuel the growth of the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association (ARCSA), a national non-profit that educates people on how to use rainwater harvesting systems and conserve water. During the past three years, ARCSA's membership has grown rapidly from 256 members to over 700 as of September 2009.
"The recent droughts in California, Washington, Georgia, and Texas have increased awareness about the impact water shortages can have nationwide," said newly-elected ARCSA president E.W. "Bob" Boulware, P.E., of Indiana. "People want to know what they can do to save water and ARCSA appears to be in the right place at the right time to help."
One of ARCSA's many accomplishments this past year was Boulware serving as liaison between ARCSA and the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO). Working with code officials, his committee developed the Green Plumbing Supplement to the next edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code(R). It now includes design standards for rainwater harvesting systems, which will allow systems to be approved as an alternative to utility-provided water.
In the past two years, ARCSA's conferences and accreditation workshops have taught rainwater catchment practices to hundreds of individuals across the United States. At its September national conference in Decatur, Georgia, ARCSA elected a new board that's preparing itself for future growth by expanding its services to members nationwide.
At the conclusion of the conference, members elected nine board members. The association's board now consists of:
-- Bob Boulware, president, from Indianapolis, Indiana
-- Jason Kerrigan, vice-president, from Australia and Illinois
-- Ramiro Ortiz, treasurer, from Plano, Texas
-- Doug Pushard, secretary, from Santa Fe, New Mexico
-- John Hammerstrom from Tavernier, Florida
-- Heather Kinkade from Phoenix, Arizona
-- Billy Kniffen from Menard, Texas
-- Tim Pope from Friday Harbor, Washington
-- Joe Wheeler from Austin, Texas
Boulware is excited about the future of the association. "My goal, as president," he said, "is to keep the membership growing and add to the gathering of new ideas. My dream is to focus the enthusiasm of ARCSA members to promote the concept of a National Water Policy."
For more information about ARCSA and it's educational offerings, please visit www.ARCSA.org.

Top 10 Underated Artistes In Nigeria 2019 (Number 4 and 7 will shock you)
Back in the days when Burna Boy started, many failed to appreciate his sound, underrating and undervaluing his potential. Today many artistes face similar experience. Here is a list of the top 10 underrated artistes in Nigeria.
The duo DNA, has since joining Mavin Records (arguably the biggest indigenous label in Africa), released several songs and videos and yet failed to stand tall in the industry. With less than 100k followers across all social media networks, they seem to be the most underated artist on this list. One could have thought DNA should be on top of their game replacing the famous estranged okoye twins (Psquare) and being one of Africa's biggest group.
2. L.A.X
L.A.X is almost phenomenal with everything he does. The former Starboy Entertainment act who recently flagged his own label Rasaki Records has since his career launch been undervalued by fans of Nigerian music. Despite recording several collaborations and dropping a poorly received debut album, LA.X makes it into the list of the Top 10 underrated artistes in Nigeria 2019.
3. Yovi
After penetrating the music scene in 2017 with "Amen" his record hit single, Uber talented singer, Yovi has failed to capture the hearts of many with his music. The talented youngster has collaborated with Wizkid and Davido arguably Africa's best artistes and yet failed to sell his sound to the general public. He occupies the No.3 position
4. Efe
Since after winning the Big Brother Naija Season 2 edition, Efe has battled between rapping and singing, endured rejection and abuses by fans and haters. Despite all that, the ever resilient performer has dropped several lovely tunes that never buzzed up, like "Far Away" , "Warri ft Olamide" and the recent "Scammer ft Tulenkey. Even with his switch from hip pop to afrobeat, Efe is still underrated even as he tries to prove his worth to doubters.
5. Terri
Starboy Entertainment's signee Terri, has failed to win the hearts of music fans across the continent. With his epic performance on " Soco" Starboy's debut single, one expected Terri to be the youngster everyone will want to associate with. He has dropped several singles and visuals and yet failed to capture the hearts of Nigerians as did his boss, Wizkid in the early days of his career.
6. Soft
"the money wey we get oh, e no dey finish, amen…" Soft , the money crooner even without a body of work, has been on and off the front row in artist ranking. The Dagogo records singer who doubles as a dancer has been undervalued by many despite recording collaborations with Davido and Wizkid. With "Money", " Imagine" , "Bently Benz & Gucci" and Tatoo", Soft with his immense talent and vibes hasn't lived up to his full potential as he is still underrated by several Nigerian music lovers.
7. Zoro
Zoro, the 26 year old Igbo indigenous rapper, who graced the music scene in 2016 following his hit single "Ogene" featuring Flavour has been unlucky with his subsequent releases. The rapper has been operating behind the shadows of Phyno and hasn't been given enough chance by lovers of Igbo Indigenous Rap music to prove his worth. Zoro stands at No.7 most underrated Artistes In Nigeria 2019.
8. Tclassic
With "Nobody Fine Pass You" a single which dominated ITunes Top 100 chart Nigeria for over 15 weeks, Tclassic should be a house hold name by now but that hasn't been the case. The MixNaija lead act has one of the biggest records out there with many vibing to his sounds without know the artiste.
9. Johnny Drille
Johnny is special, but why most people has failed to appreciate his sound is something mysterious. Johnny Drille is one of the few artistes who has kept to their path despite signing for one of Africans most celebrated indigenous record label Mavin Records. The Country and Soul music act is like a rat in the midst of Goats. The Nigerian music scene has grown addiction to commercial afrobeat and dancehall to the extent they fail to value the rare talent Johnny Drills posses. He should be occupying the whole lists as he's probably the most underrated artiste in Nigeria 2019.
10. Sean Tizzle
Sean Tizzle is a fusion of Burna boy, Wizkid, Davido and any other top artist in the continent. His vibes are evergreen and addictive. After bagging the headies award of the Next Rated Category ahead of Burna Boy, Phyno and Seyi Shay in 2013, the sensational act has stumbled in his journey as his sound has been vehemently undervalued by many. Sean Tizzle makes the list as the 10th most underrated artiste in Nigeria 2019.

Does Anyone Remember Mountain Park?

Bars and clubs in the 70's
belmontdrew replied to matty1979's topic in Historic Houston
My mom was telling me about a disco club that was on West Alabama Street near the Galleria and she and my dad can't remember the name of it. Anyone remember? Please help us solve this mystery..haha! Thanks! Oh yeah, and does anyone know where the 80's club called "Wave's" was? I am thinking it may have been somewhere on/near the Richmond strip.
Video Game Memories
belmontdrew replied to GBryant's topic in Historic Houston
Believe it or not Spanish Village on Almeda once had a stand-up Ms Pac Man machine...the Pac-Man & Ms Pac-Man sit downs at Eddie's Pizza on Richmond..APB was in the line of video games @ Meyerland General Cinema Theatre..Baby Pac-Man (& every other video game imaginable) at Showbiz Pizza on Weslayan..Paperboy, Gauntlet, Spyhunter & Marble Madness at any arcade at Astroworld..the Tron games at the West U Pool & WaterWorld..Elevator Action at a Safeway somewhere in Houston..Out Run & Toobin' at Amc 14 Meyer Park..Hard Drivin' at Tilt in The Galleria..Rampage in the second arcade in the food court next to Physical Whimsical at Sharpstown Mall..Double Dragon at Windsor Theatre...more may come to me later!
First it was a ski-mountain...then it was a waterslide with arts and crafts rooms and a huge pirate ship to play on...then it was a nursery which looked cool during the holidays because the entire hill was nothing but lights and Christmas trees!...then it was Lone Star Amphitheatre which surprisingly hosted some big name concerts. The hill simply disappeared due to the right of way for Westpark Tollway. Since there's nothing left to do in Houston anymore, I would think it would have done well in this day and age....either some cool waterslides or...imagine it covered in a racetrack for go carts going up and down the hills and bends!! Houston's "fun" days are over! There will always be something to say and something much better about the ambience, fun and excitement of a simple arcade, putt-putt, theme park, go-kart-track, and waterslide versus sitting in a room staring at a tv screen with a 50 button video game controller in your hand! I don't knock video games, as I am an avid player and collector myself. But we have to admit....things are different!

Defunct Haunted Houses (paid entertainment)
belmontdrew posted a topic in Historic Houston
Anyone remember the old building near or in downtown...I think it was on Travis...it was painted black and turned into a haunted house...had a huge painting of Freddy Krueger on the front...anyone have pictures? links? remember the name? remember where it was? There was also a haunted house on buffalo speedway where a little hidden strip center was on the right hand side just before you hit South Main...I think it had some night clubs next to it... There was one out somewhere in a shopping strip...would've been around 1989-1991 or so....all I remember was trying to feel my way around and one room had a big spotlight and a loud train whistle making you think a train was about to run over you...I almost want to say there was a James Coney Island in the parking lot... It seems like there was one near Pierce Elevated or 45 going over downtown where you could see a multi-leveled brick building with neon lights in the windows...maybe it was called the Haunted Hospital??? And of course, the first year of Fright Nights at Astroworld...(it was changed in later years to Fright Fest)...we saw Freddy Krueger in costume get out of a limo by Cyclone as he was escorted into the park on his way to make his special appearance at the huge haunted house they had set up in the Festhalle...someone got shot in there that night...it was one of the best darn things I've ever been to - that exact night at Fright Nights at Astroworld...the old putt putt course in the park was transformed into a massive graveyard haunt...the 80's were an amazing haunted house era in Houston!

Better Lighting For Downtown Skyline
belmontdrew replied to Dominax's topic in Downtown
I always thought it would look cool to have the different bridges downtown lit up with christmas lights...I think the Main Street bridge would look amazing with its arches lit up outlined in lights.
Berthas
belmontdrew replied to EastEnd Susan's topic in Historic Houston
Bertha's was really good food! I was very sad when it finally closed its doors...in the early 80's I remember it being in a really old building somewhere in downtown...then she moved it near the Alley or maybe it was even inside the Alley Theatre building in the upper levels...then it made its final home on Montrose in a shopping strip (that is still there right next to Diedrich's Coffee)...that's a place I really wish would make a comeback!
Houston: The New River City?
belmontdrew replied to bkjones98's topic in Houston and the Environment
Anyone have any idea when the blue lights will be turned on for good every night? I've driven down there a lot recently...I've seen the lights that have been installed, but I haven't ever seen them on...
If you look on buffalobayou.org's website under the tab "Master Plan" you can see how they plan on reinforcing the banks of the bayou which will make the water a more greenish color (the brown is because of the mud and dirt erosions from the sides that constantly mix with the water)...and there will be canals constructed..one north canal connecting White Oak and Buffalo Bayou just upstream from the McKee Street bridge and a south canal connecting the Elysian Viaduct part of the bayou to a more downstream area...all of this will relieve flooding...they are already offering pontoon boat tours for a cheap price along the already developed part of the bayou. What I think they should do is line the arches of the Main Street Bridge with clear globe lights to make it stand out more and add some patio restaurants and clubs all along the bayou downtown....granted they make the changes to fix the flooding problem...it can be done...who knows...I sure wish Bush Gardens would open a jungle-like amusement park right along the bayou outside of downtown!! Just imagine a huge looping crazy coaster whipping along the banks of the bayou!
Old Houston Amusement Places
belmontdrew replied to belmontdrew's topic in Historic Houston
Yeah, was that what it was called? "Mountain Park"? Was that the waterslide and pirate ship and arts and crafts amusement thing or the ski slope thing. I remember going to a birthday party there in the very early 80's! Must've been pre-WaterWorld!
Food Places We Grew Up On In Houston No Longer Here
belmontdrew replied to BayouCityGirl's topic in Houston Area Dining, Shopping and Entertainment
Here's a ton that I remember from the 80's! Pipe Organ Pizza (they still have these in other states) - they had great video games and cool prizes!...Golden Chick - I think there was one where the Dolce Freddo/Ben & Jerry's is on Kirby near Rice Village...Tamale's was a cool restaurant located in Rice Village where Fu's Garden is now...Charlie's Hamburgers were allllll over the place - Rice Village on Times, Spring, Katy...Poor Man's Country Club was a cool sports bar that had barbecue on University in Rice Village where the bank next to El Meson is...The Bagel Manufactory was on Rice Blvd in the Village...El Pollo Loco had many locations including downtown and one on Kirby near Rice Village where the dental place is now...Destefano's Pizza was a very very 80's little league sports bar pizza restaurant (Moon Patrol & Ms. PacMan were all the rage) where Andre's Wigs is now in Weslayan Shopping Center (near the Randall's) off Weslayan and Bissonnet...there was a Wienerschnitzel where the Wendy's on Westheimer in the Montrose is now. I still believe that Two Pesos was such a better restaurant than Taco Cabana! Their chicken fajita tacos were something West U families frequently went out to eat!....what else....Eddie's Pizza was in a little shack in the parking lot of Windsor Plaza on Richmond (across from where Best Buy is now)....the old house on University near Rice that has housed Mr. Gatti's for awhile now started out as something called "Z's Pizza"...Bertha's was absolutely the best Mexican food in town - she had one downtown in an old stand alone building...then she moved it into a skyscraper....finally she moved it to the far right corner of that shopping strip on Montrose (next to and across the street from where Diedrick's coffee is now...The Cultured Cow was a great "frozen yogurt" place that also had great baked potatos - there was one in Rice Village across the street from where Ruggles is now and one in Galleria II where Dylan's Candy Store is now...Big Frank's was a great "Chicago Style" hot dog restaurant on the corner of Sunset and Kirby (it's a bank now)....I really really miss these places: The Antone's in Sharpstown Mall was huge and had barrel tables with barrel chairs out on a patio...the Antone's on Main (where Taco Cabana) is now was a neat location....The Orange Julius in the Sharpstown Mall food court was somewhere we visited each time we went to the mall - back then it seemed like more people went to Sharpstown more often than the Galleria!....The Village Cafe was a short lived restaurant right on Kirby in the Village - there's a bike shop there now and on the front you can still see where the patio was!....on south Main near the Dome there was a huge Gabby's barbecue place that was very very popular...on Montrose just north of where 59 crossed over there was a shaved ice drive thru called Snow Biz that was open until late and had probably 50 or so flavors! - I think the building became a Bambolino's, which I think was recently moved to Westheimer near Hugo's.....Anyone remember Albritton's Cafeteria? there was one on Bellaire in that shopping center that contains Antone's and Eckerds. There was a Ruby Tuesday on Holcombe in the Barnes & Noble, Randall's shopping center - it is a Chik-Fil-A now. All these memories...and great eateries! Such a shame they're all gone!
Bayou Place May Add Residences
belmontdrew replied to ricco67's topic in Going Up!
For years I have walked the banks of the bayou dreaming. When I felt brave I would walk the south bank just below and behind the phase II Bayou Place building. Anyone ever noticed the cement supports jutting out of the building in an "L" shape that overhang the bayou? Why not just cover the supports with walkways/patios and add in some restaurants and shops? On stilts surrounding the building you could extend it vertically to add more retail/restaurants or even have a divided hotel on one side residential on the other with balconies overlooking downtown, hobby center, the aquarium, etc. We'd have the whole "riverwalk" thing goin' on...plus it would tie into the Sabine to Bagby remodel. For concerns on the "open the view" idea...just add lots and lots of glass to the redesign...big sheets of thick glass...from Hobby you'd see a beautiful new building..and through the building you'd see the glow of the Aquarium. All of the land behind Hobby Center and just a little south will be a sloping hill of grass down to the bayou once the Sabine Bagby walkway is complete...so we'll get our greenspace...I think we should utilize the Albert Thomas structure that is already there. It would be really cool if they placed all kinds of colored lights all over the place under the freeways...maybe even paint the cement freeway supports in a unique way. Just a little bit of money and a little bit of work could go a long way!

There are too many good Mexican Restaurants in Houston to pick: 100% Taquito for amazing tortas and authentic Mexican food Guadalajara has really good flautas Ninfas and Cafe Adobe have great burritos (try them with chile con queso on top) Jalapenos on Kirby has really good enchiladas verdes The original Ninfas has some killer margaritas and some great food For greasy 1950's style Tex-Mex go to Spanish Village For some of everything (Cuban and Tex-Mex) go to El Meson | commoncrawl | 3 | 2 | 3 | 1 |
BkiUdvDxaKgQNLA_eH4f | Staničení, též piketáž, je takový způsob udávání vzdáleností, kdy je vzdálenost místa měřena vždy k určitému výchozímu bodu. V technickém kreslení se jako kótování staničením označuje udání poloh vzhledem k téže základně (na rozdíl od obecného kótování, které udává vzdálenost mezi dvěma body).
Staničení je používáno při popisu pozemních komunikací a železnic, kdy je nazýváno také kilometráž. V projektové dokumentaci se většinou udává v kilometrech či metrech s přesností na centimetry či milimetry, navenek (pro uživatele) je udáváno v kilometrech s přesností na hektometry. Výchozím bodem (nultým kilometrem) je stanovený počátek dané komunikace (např. křižovatka, železniční stanice, odbočka).
U vodních toků je stanoveným výchozím bodem obvykle ústí řeky nebo potoka do jiného toku nebo vodní plochy.

BkiUctTxK6mkyCfOBuFq | Q: Running docker build based on argument Dockerfile:
ARG arg
FROM main-registry.gitlab.com/base/folder/:{$arg}
specific conda environment file to use
ARG conda_environment=environment.yml
COPY . .
RUN conda update --quiet conda
I need to replace this $arg with the value provided in the build command:
docker build --build-arg arg="image_id" -t hello .
I am getting the arg correctly but I am not able to replace the value of the argument in url.
Ideal case:
new url = url/image_id
Reality:
new url = url/$arg
A: I've done this before.
In your Dockerfile, you can have ARG commands before your initial FROM e.g. The following is taken from one of my Dockerfile templates (for ASP.NET Core multi-stage docker build):
ARG BUILD_IMAGE_TAG
ARG RUNTIME_IMAGE_TAG
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:${BUILD_IMAGE_TAG} AS build
...
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:${RUNTIME_IMAGE_TAG} AS runtime
...
I suspect you've just got the syntax slightly wrong; {$arg} should be ${arg} as per my example above.

Best Action-Adventure Movies on Amazon Prime Video in India [May 2022]
From Fast Five to Wonder Woman.

Amazon Prime Video has over 500 action-adventure movies in India
Daniel Craig is involved in three titles on the list below
The oldest action-adventure film is from 1964; just one from India
What are the best action-adventure movies on Amazon Prime Video? The 16 films below — a mix of action, action-adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, and superhero — star actors in Christian Bale, Tom Cruise, Daniel Craig, Gal Gadot, Emily Blunt, Judi Dench, Henry Cavill, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Chris Pine, Leonard Nimoy, Zoe Saldaña, Simon Pegg, Michael J. Fox, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Javier Bardem, Mads Mikkelsen, and Sean Connery. And they are directed by Christopher Nolan, Alfonso Cuarón, J.J. Abrams, Sam Mendes, Doug Liman, Justin Lin, Cary Joji Fukunaga, Patty Jenkins, and Ramesh Sippy among others. A "⭐" marks an editors' choice.
You might find more action-adventure movies in our list of best movies. If you're looking for more movies on Amazon Prime Video, we've recommendations for some select other genres as well that you should check out. We also have a similar list for best superhero movies on Disney+ Hotstar.

The Best Drama Movies on Amazon Prime Video

The Best Thriller Movies on Amazon Prime Video
Back to the Future (1985)
Not many films come close to the worldwide appeal and legacy left by this sci-fi entry featuring the iconic DeLorean that Michael J. Fox's character uses to (accidentally) time travel to when his parents were his age. Strange then that it didn't get the green light for years.
Batman Begins (2005)
Before Christopher Nolan struck gold with The Dark Knight, he gave us Bruce Wayne's (Christian Bale) origin as the Caped Crusader, from the death of his parents at a young age, travelling halfway across the world to train under a mentor, and returning to Gotham City to fight crime.
Daniel Craig made his debut as James Bond in a reboot that's leaner, meaner and darker — inspired by the Jason Bourne movies — as the MI6 spy earns his licence to kill. His first assignment as 007 involves bringing down a bankrupt terrorist financier (Mads Mikkelsen), via a poker game.
Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Tom Cruise stars as an officer with no combat experience who is caught in a time loop during an alien invasion, and then trains under an experienced colleague (Emily Blunt) to win the day for mankind. Doug Liman directs.
Alfonso Cuarón stepped behind the camera for what many consider to be the best [Harry Potter](https://www.gadgets360.com/tags/harry-potter) film, as the boy who lived enters his third year at Hogwarts, and is told that an Azkaban escapee Sirius Black is after his life.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010)
The beginning of the end for the eight-part Potter film series is perhaps the darkest and most depressing entry, as the central trio (Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint) truly come of age, and realise what the real world truly means.
Fast Five (2011)
With his third stab at the Fast & Furious franchise, director Justin Lin reinvigorated the franchise by transforming it into a heist movie, as Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Co. are hired to steal $100 million from a corrupt Rio de Janeiro businessman.
Goldfinger (1964)
Sean Connery's third stab at playing the MI6 spy is generally considered as the first major Bond movie — and a highly influential one at that. Gave the franchise its staples for decades: exotic locales, tongue-in-cheek humour, and Bond's heavy use of gadgets.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) ⭐
In what is arguably the best entry in the franchise yet — sixth, if you're counting — intelligence agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) & Co. set off on a globe-trotting adventure from Europe to Kashmir, to retrieve three plutonium cores from the hands of terrorists. Henry Cavill joins the fun.
Mission Impossible – Fallout Review: Tom Cruise Runs the Best Action Film of the Year
Daniel Craig's fifth and final portrayal of James Bond is perhaps the sincerest effort involving the MI6 spy — also bringing a close to the serialised arc — as Bond comes out of retirement to rescue a kidnapped scientist, but the mission turns out to be more personal than he can imagine. Cary Joji Fukunaga directs.
The Raid (2011)
This Indonesian martial arts actioner balks at Hollywood's over-reliance on guns and explosions to wow audiences, using long stretches of incredible fight choreography to bolster its simple video game-ish plot: an elite cop squad sent to clear a high-rise building owned by a drug lord, floor by floor.
The Raid 2 (2014)
As hyper-violent though more inventive, the sequel to the Indonesian original finds the rookie hero forced to go undercover in prison to expose the corrupt cops working for Jakarta's criminal underworld. Naturally, it's less plot and heavy on action, which more than delivers on expectations.
Sholay (1975)
Not many films have a level of prominence in popular Indian culture — thanks to dialogues, characters, and scenes — that is enjoyed by this fine example of "Curry Western", which blends real-life elements with the works of Akira Kurosawa and Sergio Leone. It's also a classic example of a "masala film", one that crisscrosses various genres, though its slapstick attempts are least successful. Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Sanjeev Kumar, and Jaya Bhaduri (now Bachchan) star.
Skyfall (2012) ⭐
In what is arguably the best Bond movie with Daniel Craig, if not all-time, a discredited former agent (Javier Bardem) plots to kill Bond's boss and MI6 chief M (Judi Dench), while a weakened Bond must confront some hard truths. The highest-grossing Bond movie ever. Sam Mendes is behind the camera.
J.J. Abrams reboots the Trek film franchise by taking it into an alternate reality, where the young Kirk and Spock aboard USS Enterprise must combat a determined enemy from the future, who's creating black holes to destroy planets one by one. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Leonard Nimoy, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldaña, Simon Pegg, and John Cho star.
Wonder Woman (2017) ⭐
After a pilot (Chris Pine) crashes and informs them about an ongoing World War, an Amazonian princess (Gal Gadot) leaves her secluded life to enter the world of men and stop what she believes to be the return of Amazons' nemesis. Patty Jenkins directs.

WISH Leadership
About Qatar Foundation
The World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) was born through a need to convene global experts to look for solutions for global health challenges – solutions where collaboration and innovation were key drivers of change.
Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser envisions WISH
In 2012, Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation, addressed politicians and health leaders attending the Global Health Policy Summit in London and pledged that the following year Qatar Foundation would host its own series of global health conferences in Doha, modelled on the success of Qatar Foundation's existing World Innovation Summit for Education. The new initiative would be called the World Innovation Summit for Health.
It will bring together health innovators and reformers from around the world to exchange ideas, learn from international experience, and collaborate in developing the new solutions we so urgently need.
Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser
Inaugural WISH Summit
And so, on 11-12 December 2013, the inaugural meeting of WISH was held at Qatar National Convention Centre, with Professor the Lord Darzi of Denham becoming WISH's executive chair and more than 1,000 healthcare leaders, practitioners and innovators in attendance
Eight topics were covered in 2013: obesity, mental health, road traffic injuries, accountable care, antimicrobial resistance, end-of-life care, patient engagement, and big data & healthcare.
"WISH's commitment to improving the lives of people and communities everywhere will help to drive the spread of innovation and change in healthcare we need to face the challenges of current and future generations."
Former US President Bill Clinton
WISH Announces first 'Innovation Showcase' competition
"Innovation showcases are a fantastic example of how we capture and disseminate information about valuable but previously underexposed innovations"
Professor the Lord Darzi of Denham, Executive Chair of WISH
WISH 2015 Summit

WISH Hosts Patient Safety
By 2017, WISH had become established and worked year-round to share the finding of its reports and to pilot projects that stemmed from report recommendations. In Qatar, this led to WISH hosting an academy on patient safety and working with Liverpool Football Club Foundation to provide inclusivity training for sports coaches working with autistic children. Internationally, WISH research findings on such topics as dementia and autism were presented at international conferences.
WISH 2018 was held in Doha on 13-14 November in front of more than 2,100 delegates. In the week ahead of the summit, newly launched 'Doha Healthcare Week' took health into the local community with more than 200 health-related events taking place across Qatar's capital city.
WISH's work also contributed to the development of national health policies in Qatar, for example in the areas of dementia and autism.
Keynote speakers at WISH 2018 included former Irish President Mary Robinson, International Rescue CEO and former Foreign Secretary of the UK Government, David Miliband, as well as celebrated Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps who shared his personal battle living with anxiety and depression, telling us all that it was "ok to not be ok" Capturing the very essence of WISH, Minister of Public Health for the State of Qatar, Her Excellency Dr Hanan Al-Kuwari also told the gathered audience "We are stronger when we work together, when we collaborate and share expertise, when we are driven by our common ambition to improve healthcare at home, and across the world".

Topics featured in 2018 included health in conflict settings, eye health, viral hepatitis, and nursing, as well as anxiety and depression – continuing WISH's commitment to mental health, which has featured as a topic in every global summit to date.
WISH and its work showcased Globally
In 2019, WISH and its work were showcased at events in Atlanta, Oxford, Muscat, Hyderabad, and Geneva. The year ended with a two-day symposium hosted in Vatican City, in partnership with the Vatican, that explored the close relationship between palliative care, mental health and religious ethics.
WISH also worked with Save The Children to publish the Arabic version of the first specialist pediatric blast injury manual, which has since gone on to be used to treat children seriously injured in conflict and post-conflict areas of Libya, Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
Virtual WISH 2020
2020 proved to be a challenging year for everyone working in the healthcare sector. As a result of the global spread of COVID-19, WISH 2020 was held virtually across five days and was attended by 75,000 people online.
Ahead of WISH 2020, wish took part in a series of webinars that explored the effect of Covid-19 on healthcare professionals and on the wider society.
WISH also hosted a webinar on Islamic perspectives on Covid-19 with Hamad bin Khalifa University, and held an online discussion on sport and mental health that featured cricketer Wasim Akram, Olympic gold medal-winning runner Dame Kelly Holmes, and footballer Robbie Fowler, each of whom gave a fascinating personal insight into the challenges faced by sports professionals.

Leaders from Qatar Foundation, UNICEF and Save The Children participated, and there were discussions on such topics as violence against children and the effect of COVID-19 on children's health, as well as art and music performances.
Looking to the future, WISH heads into 2021 and beyond committed to confronting the most pressing global health challenges, and continuing to build its community of experts with the shared goal of building a healthier world through global collaboration. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUe305qhLBeMNHlzZ7 | Poisonous Algae Blooms Threaten People, Ecosystems Across U.S. Serious algae outbreaks have hit more than 20 states this summer. Algae blooms aren't unusual. But the frequency, size and toxicity now are worse than ever, and changes in climate are partly to blame.
Officials found the toxin microcystin in the blue-green algae present at Discovery Bay, Calif. For people exposed to the toxin, symptoms include dizziness, rashes, fever, vomiting and in more unusual cases, numbness.
And water managers are rattled.
"Everyone's on edge with the cyanobacteria," says Bev Anderson, a scientist with the California Water Resources Control Board.
Emails reporting outbreaks of cyanobacteria — or blue-green algae — fill Anderson's inbox every morning.
But what's most alarming are the toxin levels, which Anderson says are "crazy." Twenty micrograms per liter would be worrisome. Current readings are as high as 150,000 micrograms per liter.
As for the threat the algae outbreaks pose, water districts carefully screen for toxins in drinking water. It's boaters and swimmers who are most at risk.
Discovery Bay, a community about 60 miles east of San Francisco, is normally buzzing with boats and personal watercraft. But this year, the waterfront has been eerily still for weeks.
On a recent day, Dave Holmes watches with disgust as his white speedboat and blue kayak bob in mucky green water.
"We've been here since 2002," Holmes says. "It is by far the worst we've ever seen."
Down the street, another Discovery Bay resident regrets diving into the water in mid-July. Wade Hensley ended up in the hospital because his body went numb from the waist down. It's still numb.
"And, it was about three days of swimming. Not constant, but in and out. And they can't pinpoint exactly what it is," Hensley says.
But, county health officials did find microcystin — one of several toxins produced by algae — in Discovery Bay. More typical symptoms are dizziness, rashes, fever and vomiting.
The docks behind homes at Discovery Bay, Calif., are quieter than usual because of fears of blue green algae toxins.
Algae expert Bev Anderson blames a changing climate for the blooms, at least in part.
"We're getting higher temperatures than we've seen ever in the past," she says. "California had an unprecedented drought for the last five years which [has left] the water levels very low in a lot of areas."
And shallow water means warmer water. Add to this cocktail, runoff from farms, golf courses and lawns — algae love fertilizers.
Worst of all, Anderson says, scientists are just starting to understand a problem they expect to escalate.
"Some areas have been monitoring and seeing blooms for decades, but they've never had toxins," she says.
Researchers are finding poisonous blooms in surprising places like mountain lakes and streams.
So scientists are scrambling for solutions. The chemicals that kill algae can help temporarily, but they can also backfire by promoting other toxins.
When it comes to swimming, Anderson's advice is simple.
"If in doubt, stay out!" she warns. "Don't go in, don't let your dogs in."
There's nothing to do now but wait for the green muck to disappear — and hope a cold winter kills it off. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUcZbxK5YsWOzBB9pk | HPD major accused of extortion now faces drug charges as well
By Nelson Daranciang
A Honolulu Police Department major awaiting trial on federal charges of extortion, making false statements and witness tampering is now in custody for allegedly possessing drugs.
FBI agents arrested Carlton S. Nishimura at his home in Waianae on Monday after searching the home on a search warrant.
The agents found about 231.5 grams — more than a half-pound — of methamphetamine in six clear plastic bags in Nishimura's home, the FBI said. The plastic bags were in a paper bag in a box containing personal effects with Nishimura's name on them in the family room of the home.
The FBI, which said it has been investigating allegations concerning Nishimura since 2008, said it also found other items in the home consistent with drug distribution, including numerous other clear plastic bags and three digital scales.
Nishimura, 55, appeared in U.S. District Court Tuesday on a charge of possessing with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. He was wearing shackles and a white prison jumpsuit.
He will remain in custody until at least Friday, when U.S. Magistrate Judge Richard L. Puglisi considers the government's request to deny Nishimura release on bail.
Nishimura had been free on a $50,000 signature bond in another case in which he is accused of extorting money from an illegal gambling house operator, lying to the FBI and trying to persuade a witness to lie.
His lawyer has said the key prosecution witness in that case told her lawyer she lied to the grand jury, which indicted Nishimura in February, to get a break at sentencing in her own drug case.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry M. Kurren turned over to Nishimura and his lawyer last month a document the witness's lawyer filed with the court under seal before withdrawing from the case. Kurren said he released the document after determining it "contains information suggesting that a fraud on the court was committed."
Nishimura is scheduled to appear in court for that case, also on Friday, to renew his request for the transcript of the witness's grand jury testimony.
After Nishimura's indictment in February, the HPD took away his police powers and placed him on desk duty. The department later placed him on paid administrative leave. HPD would not comment regarding Nishimura's latest charge.

What is the relationship of "service" to "activism," and of both to "art practice"? Are artists limited by their allegiance to a professional community and its standards and methodologies? How is my work linked to local service practices and global activisms? Who do we work for, toward what ends, and what acts are most effective toward those ends?
Traveling To
Colombia and Ecuador
Suzanne Lacy will travel to Colombia and Ecuador to explore long-standing questions raised in her own writings about the relationship between artistic and activist practices. In Colombia, she will be joined by a longtime collaborator, anthropologist Pilar Riaño, whose human-rights work in that country calls attention to indigenous people displaced by war. In Ecuador, she will meet with scholars and theorists who are implementing socially-engaged art educational programs. Through periods of intense production alternating with periods of reflective writing, Lacy's career path reflects key questions in art that works through lifelike actions.
Born 1945, Wasco, CA. Lives and works in Los Angeles.
Suzanne Lacy's work, which frequently focuses on social themes, includes installations, video, and large-scale performances. Recent performances include The Tattooed Skeleton, for the Museo Nacional Centro Reina Sofia, in Madrid; Prostitution Notes, at the Serpentine Marathon, London; Anyang Women's Agenda, in Anyang, Korea (with photographer Raul Vega); and an installation in the Medellin Biennale, Colombia, that built on the 1998–99 project The Skin of Memory, undertaken with Pilar Riaño. Recent project-based installations include The Crystal Quilt, an acquisition by Tate Modern, and Storying Rape, at the Liverpool Biennial. Lacy is currently working on The University of Local Knowledge, a long-term project in Bristol, England, with the Arnolfini Gallery and the Knowle West Media Centre. On February 3, 2013, she will present Silver Action, a new performance at Tate Modern.
Also known for her writing, Lacy edited the influential Mapping the Terrain: New Genre Public Art, published in 1995 by Bay Press, and Leaving Art: Writings on Performance, Politics, and Publics, 1974–2007, published in 2010 by Duke University Press.

Drones buzzed above, robotics teams competed in a mini-arena under a tent and inside kids were being taught how to pick a lock.
Where is this fantasy land of invention, creativity and resourcefulness?
The Maker Faire came to Dearborn on Saturday at The Henry Ford Museum where hundreds of grown-up inventors played show and tell, but people of all ages came to partake in the fun.
It's a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning, including Fritz Grobe, co-founder of Eepy Birds.
Grobe spent Satuday afternoon creating a Coke and Mentos display that at 5 p.m. would resemble the Bellagio Fountain in Las Vegas but with 108 bottles of Coke Zero and 540 Mentos.

"It takes two and half hours to build the set and about two and half minutes to create a big mess," Grobe said Saturday from the front lawn of The Henry Ford.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers, like Eddy Bullock who created a giant Scrubbing Bubble car out of an 1950s firetruck and Angie Hodgon of pot & box who offered a DIY terrarium bar out of a truck.
The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community, organizers said.
"It was a place where you can do things. I built a rocket. I already launched it, I made a satellite," said 6-year-old Akeem E. Jones of Detroit who came with his mom Jill Marie Jones.. "It was fun."
Teenager Jessica Clore of Carleton, Mich. was one of several robotics teams competing Saturday outdoors as part of the event.
As the 15-year-old watched her high school team's robot attempt to scoop up a rubber ball and make a basket before the others, she took in the sites and sounds of her first Maker Faire.
"It's a lot of fun. It's great to see all the different ideas and inventions," she said.
Hundreds of makers bring their wares, ideas, inventions and solutions to the two-day festival offering everything from robots, flame shooters and animatronics to solar-powered mechanical sculptures.
The Henry Ford in Dearborn, is hosting the fair Saturday and Sunday, from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

BkiUbVM4dbjiVEKCIg-w | Motivational speaker and burns survivor Turia Pitt is well-known for her grit, spirit, passion and strength to survive.
At 24, Pitt was a fitness junkie and successful mining engineer whose life was turned upside down when she was trapped in a grass fire while competing in a 100km ultramarathon.
Her story is the ultimate triumph over adversity.
"We all face challenges in our life. All of us, each and every one of us are going to face times that are stressful and hard. But where focus goes, energy flows. I don't want to be focusing on the negatives all the time," she told Insurance Business.
In hospital and recovery, when it seemed like every day was just a living reminder of all the things she couldn't do anymore, Pitt focused on what she did have and what she could do, rather than what she couldn't do.
"Every night in hospital, I would make a mental list of everything I had going for me. I'd say to myself 'you're tough, you're gritty, you have determination, you've got the best partner in the world, you have the support of some amazing people'".
"Every day I made the decision to focus on the positives. And day by day, that act of positive reinforcement helped shift my mindset to one that could take on anything".
"This isn't blindly sticking your head in the sand, or walking through life with a fake, cheery attitude. It's about choosing where to invest yourself," she said.
Reflecting on her new role as a mother, she's says like any parent she has been focusing on accepting that it's going to be a major juggling act.
"It's hard - and I've been really lucky. I have a really good support network around me, and I know that's something that not all mums have access to," she said.
One of the biggest adjustments for Pitt has been accepting that she can't do everything on her to do list anymore.
"Instead of setting out to achieve ten things each day, I've found that I can only aim to achieve three. Maximum three. If I can achieve just ONE thing from that list, I feel like the day has been a win," she said.
"When you have the right mindset, anything is possible. Getting through challenges at work or in your personal life, reaching for big goals, your confidence and approach to life - it's all impacted by your mindset," she said.
"So, the choice is up to you. Will you walk through today thinking about everything going wrong in your life? Or will you focus on all the stuff going right for you? I know which choice I'll make". | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfhM25V5jQ-dgBi9m | Depravity – Evil Upheaval
Band: Depravity
Title: Evil Upheaval
Label: Transcending Obscurity Records
Release Date: April 30th, 2018
The absolute pleasure of listening to manic sounds coming from the depths of the infinite pits, full of boiling blood, of the most absolute devotion to the best Death Metal ever conceived. Few things compare to listening to a young band who knows what they are doing. These same feelings emerge when "Evil Upheaval" sounds, the first full length of the Australian band Depravity (not to be confused with the classic and immortal ones of Finland).
The insanity, passion and expertise that these nine tracks give off are unique in their kind. The first thing we notice, before the first assault, is the great similarity with the exiled Dionysian swarm of the great George Michel Emmanuel III (better known as Trey Azagthoth). The cadence and fury of the riffs, the solos coming out of forbidden mental corridors, a certain groove emerging, safeguarded between so much exelerity. We are in the presence of a band that does not hide its great passion for one of my favorite bands of all time: Morbid Angel. Even the crazed drumming and the speed of light of Pete "Commando" Sandoval shines in the supreme work of Louis Rando (Unfairly a bit behind in the mix)
Many times I find myself in discussions about death Metal with my friends (and even with my colleagues, and great metal connoisseurs of Blessed Altar Zine), since it is something that I love. And one of the most recurrent topics is the revival of Old School Death Metal that so much swarms among the bands of today. I see two great currents that are very common among the young hordes that try to break through in this genre: or they try to emulate, often without success, the Scandinavian sound of the early 90's, or they are immersed in a cavernous whirlpool full of reverb á la Incantation.
The big question is, why did not anyone try, until now, to play like the biggest ones in Florida, in a solid and effective way? Here you have your answer.
In fact, the same band states that: "This is what MORBID ANGEL should've sounded like today …". And the sound achieved is really devastating and very consistent with their vision to make extreme music, very devoted to his idols, although focused on getting relevant and terribly current.
I particularly disagree a bit with that statement, since Morbid Angel's latest work really appealed to me. I think Morbid Angel is sounding like it should sound today. But that is another issue.
Excellently produced, with a sound that navigates in a controlled chaos, with compositions that move between structures of accelerated demolition and some moments that give more respite and show a band that transits for a more experimental, quasi-progressive facet, that reminds me a lot of the stage of "Formulas Fatal to the Flesh" or "Gateways to Annihilation".
Without a doubt, this is the primal scream of a band of young professionals who came out to conquer the world, and who has in their hands one of the best death metal albums of 2018. A work that sounds incredible and that it does not give the listener respite. A frantic vortex of blasphemous odes to the classic hecatombs rising to heaven practiced by the wisest demons. 9/10 Sergio.

BkiUdfrxaKgQMxLkynMO | Fifth year veterinary students from Thailand (left-right) Lalida Tantisuwat, Latticha Pluemhathaikij and Napasorn Ngamrojanavanit are visiting the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine through July 7 as part of an international university exchange agreement between PVM and Thailand's Chulalongkorn University School of Veterinary Medicine.
In spring 2016, the Purdue International Veterinary Student Association (IVSA) reached out to IVSA Thailand to start a conversation on a potential partnership for both a cultural and educational exchange. Fast forward a year later, and this conversation has blossomed into an international university exchange agreement between Chulalongkorn University School of Veterinary Medicine (CU) and the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine (PVM).
The impact of the agreement is already evident in Lynn Hall as PVM is currently hosting a group of exchange students from CU who will be visiting through July 7. Napasorn Ngamrojanavanit, Latticha Pluemhathaikij, and Lalida Tantisuwat are 5th year CU students who are spending their time here rotating through the Ophthalmology, Cardiology, Small Animal Community Practice, Anesthesiology, and Behavior sections in the Small Animal Hospital. Be sure to greet them and extend a warm welcome as you see them in the hallways!
Also this summer, a group of six PVM students led by Dr. Samuel Yingst, assistant professor of molecular diagnostics in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology, will be heading to Thailand for a 14-day course combining unique cultural experiences with broad exposure to veterinary medicine from multiple perspectives. Students will learn from staff representing the diverse opportunities for international veterinary employment, while also gaining a deeper fundamental understanding of the veterinarian's role in the global community. CU will host a portion of the visit, which also will include additional programs to provide a wider range of veterinary medical, cultural and geographical experiences.
CU is among the premier veterinary schools in Asia. PVM students will have the opportunity to directly participate in clinical activities at the university over the course of their program. As rabies remains endemic in Thailand, students will have the unique opportunity to understand the efforts to control the disease in the context of a Buddhist culture (didactic only – no added risk of infectious disease exposure). CU also leads research on the transmission of viruses between humans and bats, and it is expected that students will have the opportunity to observe surveillance methods for bat viruses. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Elena Vaitsekhovskaya's interview with Elena Radionova. Translation. About motivation to stay in sport, new programs and Olympics.
In pre-season interviews, figure skaters usually tell not only about new programs, but also about how long and hard it was to break into new boots. What did you have to overcome during the summer preparation?
– I also changed boots, but usually this process goes more or less calmly for me. In the off-season I returned from vacation, started to prepare for Denis Ten's show and at the same time started to break into new boots. At the first training camp I had a feeling that I haven't broke into them yet, but it didn't interfere the working process.
Was the summer work hard?
– This year – yes. Both psychologically and physically. It was very difficult to get involved in the process. The break was long.
I know that after not getting to the main competitions last December you've been thinking about the future a lot. What made you keep skating?
– Probably the fact that I really love figure skating. I often think that I haven't fulfilled all my capabilities, I haven't won all the medals. That I can do this, which means that I need to restart all work, forget everything that was before. Of course, you can't forget everything, but it's certainly worth reconsidering some points.
In order not to repeat mistakes?
– I can't say that I made some critical mistakes. Last season, for example, I haven't any. Everything went so well in training, smoothly. But during the performances some inexplicable things started to happen with me. The fall on the loop at the Russian championship, for example. I don't remember falling on this jump in trainings. Before the Russian Nationals I did combinations with loop, with flip. I can't understand why suddenly, for no reason at all, my leg swelled a few days before the competitions. Why did on loop my edge got in the trail on the ice.

Why didn't you go to do the programs with Shae-Lynn Burne, like year ago? Many, I know, thinks that she is 100% "your" choreographer.
– This is indeed so. I thought about going to Shae-Lynn, figuring out if I could afford it, but then we discussed with Elena Germanovna all our considerations and possibilities and decided that this season we will do programs at home. As a result, both my programs are choreographed by Peter Tchernyshev and I'm very pleased with the result. My short program is "You Know I'm No Good" by Amy Winehouse. The free program is Cinema Paradiso from the movie of the same name. Two absolutely different programs. Before that, I've already worked with Tchernyshov on a gala program and I really liked his manner of doing the choreography. Petya draws with his legs. In figure skating, there is such a thing: you skate and usually turn in a comfortable for you direction. Tchernyshev on the contrary puts the steps in such a way that at first it seems that foot doesn't go there at all. I remember that I was in horror, it seemed to me that I will never skate through this program. But somehow I managed. And I realized that some very interesting variations turn out.

Don't you feel discomfort because over the summer the group has increased, and in addition to Masha Sotskova Polina Tsurskaya also joined the group?
– After all our sport is not like athletics where wins the one who runs a distance faster. Sometimes I watch how girls skate to spur myself a little, but usually everything that happens around me is not very important for me. It's much more important to focus on yourself, to make yourself work. The main thing is to have contact with the coach.
What are your impressions of the Olympics in Pyeongchang?
– To be honest, there were no special feelings.
Wasn't you surprised at all when Alina Zagitova won?
– Actually, I expected that she'd win, I think it was clear from the beginning of the season. Injury affected Zhenya too much. Alina didn't manage to skate a short program clean at the beginning of the season, but in those competitions where she performed with Zhenya she skated very well. Apparently, direct competition mobilizes her strongly. Yes, Medvedev has a name, Zhenya is more experienced athlete, but usually unexpected people win the Olympics.
Do you remember your feelings when Medvedeva appeared on the senior ice and you started to compete with her?
– I remember the European Championships in Bratislava in 2016, when Zhenya beat me. I was very upset at that time: having skating both programs cleanly, I took the second place, although Zhenya fell on a double axel. But in such situations I never blame the judges or anyone else. Then I blamed myself. Of course, it was unpleasant, the second European Championships and the second silver. In 2015, in Stockholm, I was less than a point behind Lisa Tuktamysheva, and in Bratislava everything turned out so ridiculously. On the other hand, I understand that Zhenya earned her ratings primarily due to consistency. By the way, great respect to her, in the Olympic season she still was able to gather strength and recover. But still, Alina looked more confident in Pyeongchang.
What was you thinking about when you watched Medvedeva's final performance at those Games?
– I know very well how she felt. I understand the reasons for such strong emotions, tears. In addition, it is doubly difficult when the main competitions of your life wins the person with whom you train in the same group. And looking at Alina, I remembered myself. How I went to my first European Championships, to the first World Championships. It was like a holiday: wow, do I really perform with all these people on the same ice? The head is not empty, but there is no doubt. You realize that even if you don't succeed, it's the first time, which means nothing to worry about. It even seems to me sometimes that Alina didn't fully understand that she is performing at the Olympics. And Zhenya is a completely different story. It was psychologically much harder for her, a pressure of responsibility was very strong.
How dangerous as a competitor is the the current World Champion Kaetlyn Osmond?
– I respect her very much. She also didn't succeed immediately, she had serious injuries. But she fought, fought, and eventually she has all the titles, which no other female skater in the world has now. She won both the World Championships and the Olympics.
You don't make difference between the Olympic team medal and individual?
– As for the team event, there are different opinions, but I believe that the answer is always on the scoreboard. What is written there is already the history of our sport and nothing can be crossed out. After all, there are sports where a person can sit out the whole tournament on the bench and still win a title.
A post shared by Elena Radionova (@lenok_radionova) on May 27, 2017 at 1:05am PDT
Have you ever thought how your life will look when there will be no figure skating in it?
– I think everyone thought about it. Every time I imagine this life differently. On the one hand, I understand that I love figure skating very much and I'm not ready to stop skating. Yes, let it be hard, difficult, let there be some moments that I will need to overcome, but it's still the meaning of life for me. Very loud words, probably, but it is. And really, why should I hide it, I'm a person who loves to be in public, loves to skate for the audience, loves attention. I like to skate for the audience, not for the coach or the judges, luckily there are a lot of various programs, shows. And all this is very interesting for me.
Many years ago we talked with Katia Gordeeva and she said that figure skating is a very dangerous sport for a woman. Because if a person is in demand, it can be very difficult to stop. All this becomes such a big part of life that you just miss the moment to have a family, to have a baby. Suddenly you realize it, but this train has already left.
– Yes, it's true. I think it's very important to feel the line when you should stop. To have a family. I think that family should be in every person's priority whatever he does. Because this is the only place where you're really needed. A person can think that he is cool, famous, everywhere in demand, that there is money, glory. But still it all ends at some point and you're left alone.
Are there places where you especially like to skate?
– I like to skate in Moscow. I also like Japan – there I will have one of the Grand Prix this season. The Japanese are unrealistic in supporting skaters. There are always a lot of fans, but they do not create fuss, but on the contrary somehow relieve the atmosphere.
So it's like a holiday?
– The very atmosphere of Japanese competitions relaxes, it gives strong emotions. You understand that for those who sit in the stands it doesn't matter what place you take. They just root for you, worry, support, love. Of course you have a desire to give these people everything, to give them pleasure.
Have you ever been tired of fans' attention? How in general looks the fan group of Elena Radionova?
– I don't think I have such group. There're a lot of different groups on Instagram and my communication with fans is mostly limited by social networks. Fans can leave a comment, I can like this comment, that's all. I'm very grateful to people for supporting me, but I don't communicate with some of them close. I know one woman in Japan who always writes comments to my photos, sends letters. At one time, she was rooting for Yulia Lipnitskaya, then she began to root for me and even created the group "Julia-Elena.Ru". She has been rooting for me for a very long time. And she herself sews teddy bears in my costumes. I already have two such in my collection. Now this woman makes one more for me. Probably, with her I have the closest relationships among fans.
If you were among those who made a decision about the age eligibility in women's single skating, would you vote to raise the age for doing seniors?
– I think, yes – at least up to 16. I also would like to have at least one competitions held not with flag participation, but as in tennis, according to the rating. Many countries in figure skating don't have enough spots. And those countries who have spots not always have enough athletes to fill this spots. So why not keep one championship in the current format and make the second one held by rating? And make these competitions equal in importance.
As for age, this is generally a difficult topic. It's interesting to look at mature skaters at least because they really have programs. It's clear that when there are such athletes as Zhenya and Alina, as it was last season, everyone starts saying that they compete only among themselves. By and large, they didn't leave any intrigue. But sometimes I caught myself thinking that it would be more interesting for me to look at Carolina Kostner or Kaetlyn Osmond, will they be able to squeeze into the fight or not? Juniors are generally a separate world, a separate element in which you don't understand who will "shoot" and who won't. This is so unpredictable, everyone has such a different sporting destiny. For example Sasha Trusova. God blesses, she will be healthy as long as possible and will be able to jump quads when she reaches senior level. It's interesting what will happen to her.
A post shared by Elena Radionova (@lenok_radionova) on Nov 14, 2017 at 7:10am PST
Can you imagine what it's like to skate with such incredibly long plaits as Trusova's?
– You know, I've been getting used to skate with my hair down in shows, although they are much shorter than Sasha's. If I make a ponytail, I can't jump at all – the ponytail starts to pull me and it becomes very difficult to keep balance in jumps and spins, the head involuntarily goes back. Similar sensation sometimes creates heavy headbands. Therefore, I don't skate with hair down during training. I do it only in ordinary life, if I'm going somewhere. But when I skate in shows with my hair down, many people say: wow, this is so cool!
Have you ever thought to cut your hair?
– I wanted to. But they сonvinced me that short haircut won't suit me. On the other hand, I remember, once I came to the hairdresser, asked to cut the ends of the hair. We cut eight or ten centimeters and I was upset … I went home and thought: how much time it will take for my hair to grow back? Yes, there are times when you want to change something in yourself, but if your style has already developed, then why?

BkiUc6I4ubngzlN4py47 | Silica biomineralization is a widespread phenomenon of major biotechnological interest. Modifying biosilica with substances like germanium (Ge) can confer useful new properties, although exposure to high levels of Ge disrupts normal biosilicification. No clear mechanism explains why this disruption occurs. Here, we study the effect of Ge on loricate choanoflagellates, a group of protists that construct a species-specific extracellular lorica from multiple siliceous costal strips. High Ge exposures were toxic, whereas lower Ge exposures produced cells with incomplete or absent loricae. These effects can be ameliorated by restoring the germanium : silicon ratio, as observed in other biosilicifying organisms. We developed simulations of how Ge interacts with polymerizing silica. In our models, Ge is readily incorporated at the ends of silica forming from silicic acid condensation, but this prevents further silica polymerization. Our 'Ge-capping' model is supported by observations from loricate choanoflagellates. Ge exposure terminates costal strip synthesis and lorica formation, resulting in disruption to cytokinesis and fatal build-up of silicic acid. Applying the Ge-capping model to other siliceous organisms explains the general toxicity of Ge and identifies potential protective responses in metalloid uptake and sensing. This can improve the design of new silica biomaterials, and further our understanding of silicon metabolism. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

You've probably missed the release of The Typing Of The Dead: Overkill
You didn't? Well good for you. You did, don't worry, that's our job. Anyway, even if SEGA didn't make much fuss about it (they're probably too busy with Rome II and Football Manager), they found the time to release the sequel of one of the best, most fun, over the top, finger-breaker, completely weird game ever made: The Typing Of The Dead. Anyone fancy a little type-instead-of-shoot some zombies?
The original title was released in 1999 for japanese arcades, and then worldwide on Dreamcast, PC and PlayStation 2. It was based on the second chapter of the main series, and was a masterpiece.
This one, as the title surely suggest, is based on the latest installement of the series, Overkill, and features a lot of funny shit (and swearing).
The Typing Of The Dead: Overkill is out now on Steam for less than £15. Just go for it, thanks us later.

Here's the Steam Controller
Yes, after the recent announcements about Steam OS and Steam Machines, Valve is back with the Steam Controller. Citing from the official site this is a new kind of controller:
"We set out with a singular goal: bring the Steam experience, in its entirety, into the living-room. We knew how to build the user interface, we knew how to build a machine, and even an operating system. But that still left input — our biggest missing link. We realized early on that our goals required a new kind of input technology — one that could bridge the gap from the desk to the living room without compromises. So we spent a year experimenting with new approaches to input and we now believe we've arrived at something worth sharing and testing with you."
The Steam Controller is designed to work with all the games on Steam: past, present, and future. Even the older titles in the catalog and the ones which were not built with controller support.
The controller was designed from the ground up to be hackable. Just as the Steam Community and Workshop contributors currently deliver tremendous value via additions to software products on Steam, they believe that they will meaningfully contribute to the design of the Steam Controller. Valve is planning to make tools available that will enable users to participate in all aspects of the experience, from industrial design to electrical engineering.
We're not really sure about the total lack of analog sticks, but you'll never know. We'll see, stay tuned! In the meanwhile, here's the suggested example configuration for Portal 2.

FEZ on the Wii U? Only if Nintendo pays for it
We all know how good is FEZ. It is a little indie masterpiece, even if its creator is not that nice.
The games has been released on Xbox LIVE last year (after almost five years of development) and it will hit Steam next May.
Obviously a lot of people is asking for a port on all kind of platforms, includind the last Nintendo console, the Wii U, that seems to be a perfect home for the 2D/3D indie platformer by Phil Fish's Polytron. Yesterday our beloved Phil said something about a possible port of the game.
the only way a FEZ WII U port could happen is if nintendo paid for and handled the port themselves. which i highly doubt will ever happen.
— PHIL FISH (@PHIL_FISH) March 25, 2013
We seriously doubt too, but who knows…

Contrast will let you play with your own shadow
Last weekend at PAX East, beside all the well-known game companies, there was also Compulsion Games. An emerging indie game studio, born and raised in Montreal, Canada, working on a very interesting project: a game called Contrast.
Experience a surreal 1920s dreamscape in which you can shift freely in and out of shadows. Tasked with helping a young girl named Didi, players will unravel the mysteries behind her troubled family and the dark secrets that must be exposed to re-shape her future. Contrast will let you play with your own shadow, literally. The game is basically a platformer where you can become a shadow in order to climb and interact with other shadows. Take a look at this teaser trailer to figure it out.
If you want to know more about this game here's a small video interview to Guillaume Provost, creative director and founder of Compulsion Games, made by Kotaku at PAX.
"We began development on Contrast four years ago and are excited to finally unveil it to the public. We chose to be part of the PAX East Indie Megabooth in order to give back to the amazing community that has helped support the game during our successful Greenlight campaign on Steam. Contrast will transport players into a vaudevillian world of shadows and mysteries, where story elements are discovered through the manipulation of light, and it introduces new gameplay paradigms for interacting and navigating the world."
Contrast is set to be released on Spring 2013 on Steam, but the exact release date is still TBA.

Valve's Steam Box is on its way
In an interview with the BBC, Gabe Newell, founder of Valve, said that the new Steam Box console is on its way and that the first prototypes could hit the users for test in 3/4 months. Read below directly from Newell's words.
"We're working with partners trying to nail down exactly how fast we can make it. We'll be giving out some prototypes to customers to get their reactions, I guess, in the next three to four months. Your average gamer has a good idea of what it'd be like. It sort of has the openness and flexibility of PC, yet done in a way that makes it make sense in the living room. There are noise issues and heat issues and being able to deal with that while still offering a powerful enough gaming experience is the challenge in building it.
The main thing that's holding us up is that we have a couple of different controller prototypes that we're using, and that's one of the things we'll be giving to customers. We'll just give them a couple different ones and then look to see what the difference is in their play patterns when they have those different controllers. If you think of a game like Left 4 Dead ,which is trying to put you into a sort of horror movie, you and your friends in a horror movie, if you don't change the experience of what the player is actually feeling then it stops being a horror game and starts being something else. So you need to actually be able to directly measure how aroused the player is — what their heart rate is, things like that — in order to continue to offer them a new experience each time they play."

Now you can use the Wii U Controller on PC games
We always love people making an improper use of licensed hardware, especially when it's not about cracking or piracy, but just opening a new world of possibilities. And this is the case of this guy, Chris Manning, transforming the Wii U game pad into something you can use on a PC.
This video also shows how you can re-map the pad in order to make it works with lot of stuff on your PC, like DirectInput games and emulators (including Dolphin and most Steam games).
We know that you're wondering about the touchscreen and all the cool stuff you'd like to do with it on your PC. Chris also said that a touchscreen support in on the work, and you'll be able to use the pad as a graphical tablet or similar stuff very soon.
For now, you can download all the stuff you need to make it works here.
Keep it up Chris (and watch your back from Nintendo)

Coronation Street actress Beverley Callard has left the famous cobbles, but without the dramatic exit she was expecting.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic Bev was unable to film her final scenes as Weatherfield icon Liz McDonald, and the actress is unavailable to return now that filming has restarted after lockdown.
The soap has confirmed that Bev, who has played former Rovers Return boss Liz since 1989, is now out of contract from the show.
Liz's departure to Spain has been referenced by her son Steve, played by Simon Gregson, who said he could really do with her support now that his son Oliver has been diagnosed with a serious incurable illness.
Beverley Callard
The news that the Weatherfield legend was leaving after 30 years sent shockwaves across soapland last year.
Bev told viewers not to worry and hinted she could be back on the ITV programme after she finishes her stage tour with The Thunder Girls, the story of a reunited dysfunctional girlband.
Bev, 63, told the Manchester Evening News about the moment she 'knocked her boss off his chair' with the news of her plans.
Producer Iain MacLeod told her to take a step back and think of it as a 'sabbatical' from the cobbles while she treads the boards.

"I agonised about my decision to leave Corrie," said Bev.
"I love it - it will always have a massive place in my heart, but I just had to do this. It is an opportunity I just couldn't turn down.
"I went to see Iain MacLeod, we sat there and had a cup of tea together and he's telling me all about the exciting plans he has for Liz in the 60th anniversary of Corrie, which is next year.
"I had to stop him mid sentence and deliver the news I'd actually come to hand my notice in.

"He said, 'talk about knocking someone off their chair. You just did it.'"
She added: "I assumed that they'd end up killing me off, but Iain said to think of it as being a sabbatical and said they want to keep the door open for me, so you never know, Liz could be back in the future."
Bev's legendary character has been involved in a number of shock storylines over the years including her tempestuous relationship with on-screen husband Jim played by Charlie Lawson.
Bev had hoped to 'go out with a bang' with a reunion between herself and prodigal son Andy McDonald, the twin of Steve.
She said: "I will miss Liz. They won't kill her but I'm told she will go out with a bang, but I don't know how yet. I reckon I'll probably find out about two months before viewers do."
She added: "I'd love for Charlie Lawson to come back, and Nick Cochrane, who plays Andy, that would be amazing. But it's not up to me of course."
Corrie star Chris Gascoyne's wife has joined the soap
In The Thunder Girls Bev plays the feisty but vulnerable Roxanne in Melanie Blake's stage production of her novel The Thunder Girls, which sees an 80s girl band get back together for a 'reunion dinner from hell'.
Bev said: "I first read Thunder Girls a few years ago. I said to Melanie, when you take this on stage, I want to be a part of it.
"When we sold out nine months before it was on stage at the Lowry, we were blown away by the reception."
The tour was due to kick off at Stockport Plaza in September before going stateside but due to the Coronavirus outbreak the tour has been rescheduled to 2021. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdD85qoYAnrRn_IhQ | is a 1989 third-person shooter arcade game developed and published by Namco in Japan. A home conversion for the Sega Genesis was released worldwide a year later. The player assumes control of the 21-year-old space cadet Hiromi Tengenji, a pilot training to become a member of the Space Force, who must complete each level by shooting down enemies with her airbike and avoiding projectiles. Gameplay is similar to Space Harrier, featuring a fixed camera position behind the player and having similar mechanics. It runs on the Namco System 2 arcade hardware.
Gameplay
In Burning Force, the player controls a 21-year-old space cadet named , who as part of her final training, must battle high-tech enemies through six worlds of four areas on a futuristic airbike named "Sign Duck". The gameplay is similar to that of Sega's Space Harrier, but the worlds are divided into four areas and there is no vertical mobility making the game different in its own right; in the first two sections the player controls Hiromi on the airbike, which can move to the left and right, as well as braking and accelerating - and the airbike can also fire bullets and missiles at the enemies. The third area of every world is a boss area and the airbike will be transformed into a flying ship which can move in all directions; the fourth area of each world, however, is a bonus stage and the player has to collect as many spheres (which have numbers on them) as possible for bonus points.
Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Burning Force on their December 1, 1989 issue as being the ninth most-popular table arcade game at the time.
The Sega Genesis / Mega Drive received mixed and mostly mediocre reviews in the West upon the release, including 4/10 from ASM, 5/10 from Génération 4, 71% from Joystick, 51% from Power Play, and 77% from RAZE, which opined "Space Harrier is too old a formula to be successful nowadays." The New Straits Times, in October 1990, dismissed the game as "yet another ... in the line of Space Harrier clones." It also had mediocre sales.
Retrospectively, Hardcore Gaming 101's Kurt Kalata opined it "is among the better of [Space Harrier] clones, partly because it's based on more powerful arcade hardware (the Namco System-II, which ran Phelios and Valkyrie no Densetsu, amongst others), and partly because it puts its own unique spin on the formula." Next Generation listed the Genesis version at number 93 in their "Top 100 Games of All Time", explaining that "What earns Burning Force its place on this list is level design, the fact that no enemies are repeated from level to level, and the stunning design of the bosses."
Legacy
Hiromi Tengenji went on to reappear in an advertisement on an airship in Mach Breakers (along with Pac-Man, Prince Gil and Princess Ki from The Tower of Druaga, Wonder Momo, Valkyrie from Valkyrie no Densetsu, and Pitto and Patti from Tinkle Pit) and also appeared in the Namco System 12-era World Stadium games as the Nikotama Gals' defensive half. She is one of player's party characters in Namco x Capcom, where she is partners with Toby "Kissy" Masuyo, the main character of the Baraduke games. In ShiftyLook's Namco dating sim Namco High, she appears as one of 18 dateable characters. Namco Game Sound Express Vol. 02 - Burning Force, published by Victor Entertainment in 1990, contains the original soundtrack from Burning Force with compositions by Yoshinori Kawamoto.

BkiUfu7xK7IAEwOJJzzL | We recently had the opportunity to speak to one of the original DISA players from the first ever DISA team, Jonny Glenn. He was able to provide a very insightful perspective on how soccer, DISA, and music have helped him come into his own. We are truly grateful for the opportunities of coaching so many unique and talented individuals including Jonny!
How did you come across music and soccer?
Other than school, soccer and music had always been at the forefront of my childhood and life. Almost every day I'd play soccer and I'd sing. After school those two things were my life. I was picked up by a few coaches when I was very young. I wasn't sure who they were but they liked how I could play. This would become the first DISA team ever. The start of a new club. A disruptive club into the dominated MPSC, SC United, and CESA empire within South Carolina. This theme would follow me through where I am today… a disruptor.
DISA became my family – coaches, players, and friends that I will value forever. Memories that brought me the greatest happiness of my childhood. As I matured, I never really decided which path I was going to take. My mom would say she always knew I loved music the most. My face would change when playing piano, guitar, or singing. I was in another world. She knew I loved singing more than I loved to score goals.
How did you balance music and collegiate soccer?
When going to college, I still hadn't decided. I was recruited by Boston University to play soccer but almost applied to Berklee College Music, ironically for drum performance and not singing. The audition never took place though and I ended up at BU.
I still didn't have to choose. I was playing soccer at BU and basically living at Berklee, being surrounded by music all the time. The best of both worlds.
What was one of the toughest times during college soccer?
What's the biggest difference with you and your music today?
I've always performed but now it's serious. It's life. It's now been a year since graduating from Boston University with a degree in finance and I've started my own company to legally raise financing; charted on the iTunes Pop 200 above Ed Sheeran, and have hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify. After over one hundred shows in Boston, I'm looking for financial help to keep the momentum pushing. Any amount would go toward studio time, recording, and investing into great music and knowing that it was that donation that allowed a dream to come true and a star to rise.
If you would like to make a donation to help Jonny Glenn continue his musical journey, checks can be made out to Jonathan Guedalia/Starman LLC and mailed to Jonathan Guedalia at 958 Sea Gull Drive, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 |

BkiUdLvxK7Dgs_cY5sqL | The United States cannot meet the greenhouse gas emissions targets set by President Barack Obama without "a determined effort" to cut the methane emissions associated with natural gas production and distribution, according to a recent editorial by The New York Times.
"Methane, the major component of natural gas, accounts for roughly 10 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions in this country, but its chemical properties make it a more potent heat-trapping gas in the short run than carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas," the editorial states.

BkiUgSnxK4sA-46xQ9zC | A personal budget is an amount of money that is used to meet some of the needs of an individual child or young person with additional needs. The money would be used to contribute towards meeting the outcomes described in the child or young person's Education Health and Care (EHC) plan.
The personal budget is not all the resources that will be used to support a child or young person. It is just the cashable amount that could be made available to be used flexibly to meet the additional needs.
A personal budget is not extra money – it is money that would have been spent on meeting the child or young person's needs in the EHC plan. Offering it as a personal budget creates an opportunity to spend it in a more personal way, better tailored to individual cases and situations.
Young people that have an EHC plan and have completed Year 11 have the right to request a personal budget in their own right.
What types of personal budget are available in Trafford?
Trafford Council and Trafford Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) have identified Education, Social Care and Health as the areas where a personal budget could be given in the form of a direct payment. Each of these personal budgets has their own separate eligibility criteria.
Social Care Personal Budgets for Children and Young People with an Education, Health and Social Care Plan (EHCP).
Will I get a personal budget in all these areas?
There will be very few children and young people that will meet the eligibility criteria across all three areas of education, health and social care. However all children and young people with an EHC plan would meet the criteria for a personal education budget.
Where a child or young person does meet criteria in more than one area, the resource will be pooled where appropriate and there will be joint planning so that the available resources are used in the best way to meet the outcomes in the plan.
How will I manage my personal budget?
The personal budget is retained by the local authority/NHS Clinical Commissioning Group and the support/service secured on your behalf.
If you wish someone else/another organisation to manage your personal budget on your behalf then this can be arranged.
Some or all of the personal budget may be taken as a direct payment for you to purchase the support/service required.
Options 2 and 3 are only available with the agreement of the local authority and the education provider.
Personal Budgets give you greater control over your child's support arrangements, and support independence. They give you choice over how you receive support, and who provides it. You can make arrangements to employ someone directly as a Personal Assistant (PA).
What do we mean by a direct payment?
A direct payment is one of the ways in which a personal budget can be managed. A direct payment is when an amount of money is paid to a parent or young person, and they are then responsible for managing this money to achieve the outcomes in their EHC plan.
In Trafford, the preferred way to make this direct payment is through the issue of a pre-payment card. This is very similar to a debit card. The amount of personal budget is loaded onto the card and issued to the individual to use and spend in line with the agreed activities in the EHC Plan.
When can a direct payment be refused?
Trafford can refuse to use a direct payment if meeting an individual's needs in this way is likely to have an adverse impact on other services which the local authority provides.
Similarly, if providing a direct payment is less efficient than securing a service through alternative arrangements, then the council can refuse on the grounds that it is inefficient use of their resources.
The personal health budget can be refused if it does not meed the individual's health outcomes.
Where a direct payment is requested and agreed to meet the education outcomes in an EHC plan, the head teacher or proprietor of the education establishment has to be in agreement before a service takes place on their site. The LA will work with parents and schools and colleges to try to come to an agreement in these circumstances. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdDDxK0flNeFb4c4e | Q: unable to change array size at runtime in java I'm kinda new in java and I'm trying to port my experience from c# world to java here is the code :
public class TestBasket {
private Item[] shops = {} ;
int arraysIndex=0;
public static void main(String argc[]){
TestBasket tb = new TestBasket();
try{
tb.storeItems(new Item("test", 100));
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Error");
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
}
public void storeItems(Item it){
if (arraysIndex >= shops.length){
///resizeArray(shops);
System.out.println("the count of length is" + shops.length);
cpArr(shops);
System.out.println("the count of length is" + shops.length);
}
shops[arraysIndex] = it;
arraysIndex++;
}
//this is a generic method to resize every kind of array
public Item[] cpArr(Item[] arr){
Item[] retArr = Arrays.copyOf(arr, arr.length + 10);
return retArr;
}
}
after executing the program I will get this message :
length is0
length is0
Error
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
which means still the length of array is zero which it shouldn't be zero.
I'm confused where did I go wrong?
regards.
I get my answer it was my fault I have to get the retrun value as the result which I didn't do that.
A: You're not using the result of:
cpArr(shops);
What this method does is create a NEW array, nothing changes in your current one!
So you need to do:
shops = cpArr(shops);
Hope this helps.
A: If I remember arrays in java have a fixed size and you have to copy the data in a new bigger array. To have lists of dynamic size I recommend using the Array List.
Example:
import java.util.*; //Really generic import
// You can use templates or the generic ArrayList which stores "Object" type
ArrayList<String> myArray = new ArrayList<String>();
// Add one item at a time
myArray.add("Hello");
// Add items from a Collection object
myArray.addAll(Arrays.toList(new String[]{"World", "Just", "Demo"});
// Get item
myArray.get(0);
// Remove item
myArray.remove(0);
I think you can guess the rest (and read the javadoc).
Hope I can be of help
NB: I havent done Java in a while but it should be mostly right.
A: You probably want to set: shop = cpArr(shops) instead of just calling the method.

BkiUdpQ5qYVBTBbD_Egg | Fred decided to ask Dr. Peter Buck, an old family friend, for some advice. Dr. Buck gave Fred an idea that would change his life and the lives of people around the world.
That night, Fred and Dr. Buck formed a partnership that would lead to the first SUBWAY® restaurant.
By lunchtime on the first day Fred and Pete's submarine shop was open, customers were pouring in. From that day on the company continued to grow.
As Fred and Pete looked for ways to grow the business, they decided franchising was the key to achieving their goal. So Fred met with his friend Brian Dixon and offered Brian a loan to buy one of their restaurants; to sweeten the deal, Fred told Brian that if he didn't like the business, he could return it and owe nothing.
Brian is known as the very first SUBWAY® franchisee – setting the new standard for the SUBWAY® business model. This enabled Pete and Fred to not only reach their goal, but surpass it. Today SUBWAY® restaurants are the world's largest submarine sandwich chain operating more units in the US, Canada and Australia than McDonald's does.
Mark Rutherglen brought the SUBWAY® restaurants brand to NZ in 1994 after seeing potential and opportunity within the fast food industry for great tasting, healthy food.
After a year of planning and organizing all the supply and distribution, he opened his first store in Parnell in December 1995. This momentous occasion was attended by Fred DeLuca, the owner of SUBWAY® restaurants, and his wife Liz.
From there onwards, a lot of hard work was put into promoting the brand to other local Kiwis and slowly but steadily growing the numbers one by one. Along with the hard work of a fantastic group of dedicated Kiwi franchisees, SUBWAY® restaurants took off in 2000-2001 and has never looked back.
New Zealand now boasts over 250 stores throughout the country, and SUBWAY® restaurants has become a very popular and well respected brand offering high quality product and great service and providing Kiwis with a fresh, fun and healthy choice.
SUBWAY® restaurants also launched the School Lunches Programme, offering young Kiwis fresh, tasty and nutritious everyday choices. This programme is now in place in well over 100 schools throughout New Zealand.
SUBWAY® restaurants continue to grow, and is now a major part of Kiwi culture serving happy and healthy Kiwis from Cape Reinga to Tiwai Point. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Improvements on Yellow Springs Fairfield Road include pavement widening, asphalt resurfacing, a new sidewalk, and pedestrian crossings, among other things.
London Bishop | Greene County News
Construction on Yellow Springs Fairfield Road is estimated to take four months.
FAIRBORN — The City of Fairborn has several major construction projects going on around the city this year.
As sections of Maple and Kauffman avenues are torn up to conduct deep-level repairs and maintenance, many residents are left with one question: When is this all going to be over with?
Unfortunately, for a lot of these projects, it's going to be at least another few months, but the good news is that once it is completed, Fairborn is one step closer to the quality of life improvement and potential economic development these changes will bring.
Many of these improvements involve building sidewalks or constructing bike paths along existing roads. This model aligns with the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission's Complete Streets Policy, which encourages city improvements that promote safety, regardless of chosen mode of transportation. This includes pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists of all kinds.
City Engineer Lee Harris said it's important for Fairborn residents to feel safe using these modes of transportation anywhere in the city.
"We want to encourage the community to feel safe biking along our corridors. Main corridors are the backbone of the city," he said. "We're also completing sidewalks where we don't have any."
A project on Colonel Glenn Highway next year would do just that. Putting in a sidewalk would allow Wright State students and other pedestrians who use RTA services to walk to Fairborn businesses.
As for the current construction projects around the city, the following briefly outlines where they are in the process:
Broad Street Phase 1 (Sandhill Road to north corporation limit) – This project is almost at completion. The only remaining tasks include laying topsoil and seed for the landscaping surrounding the road.
Maple Avenue Phase 1 (Doris Drive to Dayton Drive) – The work being conducted on Maple Avenue includes full-depth pavement repairs, asphalt resurfacing, and a shared-use path for bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The under-utilized on-street parking on the south end of the project will be removed to create a consistent three-lane road section, and new crosswalks will be installed with rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB). These enhanced pedestrian crossing signs are deemed safer, and would be similar to those already in place in Xenia and other cities. A spokesperson for the city estimated this project will be completed in October.
Central Avenue (Lindberg Drive to Dayton Drive) – This project is being managed by the Ohio Department of Transportation. Improvements include full-depth pavement reconstruction, curb replacement, and minor drainage improvements. According to a city spokesperson, the project is a month ahead of schedule, and should be completed sometime in September.
Dayton Yellow Springs Road (Gateway Drive to Commerce Center Boulevard) – The Greene County Engineer's Office is in charge of this project, which includes rehabilitation of the concrete bridge deck and the asphalt roadway surface near Fairborn High School. The project also includes removal and repair of concrete medians and new pavement markings on Dayton Yellow Springs Road. This project is estimated to be done by the end of the month.
Yellow Springs Fairfield Road (Spangler Road to Warm Springs Drive) – This project will bring significant improvements to the area, including pavement widening, asphalt resurfacing, a new curb and gutter, storm water improvements, a new sidewalk, a new multi-use path, and RRFB pedestrian crossing facilities at Roehner Drive, Astoria Boulevard, Black Lane and Warm Springs Drive.
Construction on the south side of the road began the first week of August. Phase 1 is expected to take four months, bringing the completion date to sometime in November or December.

BkiUbZXxK5YsWV5L2Ss8 | Q: HTML page not showing the response received from the server I am new to the Angular and trying to build an app which will call and API and the received response will show on UI.
I already tried to use ng directives like *ngFor , ng-repeat.
But response is not displaying on HTML I can see only in the console.
Image of response:

A: To be honest, there's some weird stuff in your code.
You've declared data as an empty object in the class but I don't see where you assign the data to this variable. In getData method you should do something like this:
return this.http.get(this.apiUrl, {
responseType: 'text'
}).subscribe((data) => { this.data = data; }));
And in your template you're using AngularJS's ng-repeat instead of *ngFor="let response of data". NgFor only supports binding to Iterables such as Arrays, so if you really need data to be an object, you can use KeyValuePipe which transforms objects into an array of key value pairs:
https://angular.io/api/common/KeyValuePipe
A: First, you are not storing anything in data, and you are trying to read from data in your html table.
you have to store your API response in data, and it must be array to loop through in html.
title = 'Testing API';
private apiUrl = 'https://myurl.com';
data: any = [];
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {
console.log('Hello API');
this.getData();
}
header = new HttpHeaders().set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
ngOnInit() {}
getData() {
return this.http.get(this.apiUrl, {
responseType: 'text'
}).subscribe((data) = >
this.data=data;
console.log(data)));

Starting woodwork, as a beginner or an expert, needs a traditional tool kit, which serves minimal purposes of woodworking. The tools that have been listed below have been securing their place in tool kit. Each having a prominent function to lean upon from ages yet with advancements in their mechanisms.
Introduction to Different Chisels Used in Woodworking
Safety Rules for Woodworking
Criteria of A Best Block Plane
When you kick start with your woodworking, mastering the finishing, cuts, chambers, end grains is not the one thing that is crucial, learning about each of them involved in the detail of woodworking is a major step. Collecting the best tool kit doesn't drive the work along, collecting the books needed for your knowledge of carpentry, building your own library, gives virtual guidance and hand in rescue for your job.
Woodworking is also an area unplowed much into, having every jig, tool, material and even torques involved, it is no lesser complicated as masonry, designing or construction. Having a glimpse of a book or guide help eliminate blunders, keeps your art fit, without a personal teacher always beside.
Beginner guides: A beginner guide for woodworking is the basic book for your library. So many authors out there has published a beginner guide of each of their kind. Pick one for yourself and binge your wisdom on it. They cover content from basics, safety, materials to choose, tools needed, pros and cons, myths and fears. Examples are woodworking basics, A beginners guide to woodworking of various authors you can choose one from.
Complete guide: A sense of the style and designs stipulated by existing great woodworkers is something that helps you create perfection, whose guidelines and strategies help you become a better professional. Woodworking with a router by Fred, hand tools by Aldren, the workbench design book by Christopher, the tree craft by Chris etc is such useful books
Wood chisel
Chisels are prominent hand working tools in the box of a woodWorker. With their sharp cutting edges held firmly into the wooden, metal or rubber handle, held by a hand, hammered by a mallet or a hammer, piercing into the wood making larger to tiny sections needed, of longer to smaller cutting widths.
Bevel edge chisel permitting angled cuts, paring chisels to clean the grooves, mortises with a straight cut, dovetail joints by dovetail chisels
As said, the chisel should be picked with resisting handles, the thickness of the cutting blades. It should be sharpened from the rare side, the cuttings are done using larger thickness too small.
Mortise cuts:
They are created by both mortise chisel and bevel end chisels. The bevel chisel slices the wood with the controlled hammering on the handle, most used of woodworking.
Paring cuts:
Also known as shaving off the rough finishes, where the unbeveled edge of chisel produces thin slices, giving a flattened surface, the unbeveled edges keep the chisel flat on the surface tightly varying the position for making flat surfaces and shaving.
Chisels Vs gouges:
Chisels have flattened blades whilst gongs have curved cutting blades.
Chisels forms mortises, shavings, the gouge go into curving cuts of the wood. Gouge works in concave surfaces, mostly of tang handle and sockets a few and does Undercuts, mouldings, mill works, deeper carvings. One-fourth inch is used. Slick chisel with 2inch width, handles are into sockets, back bent chisel does the bent carvings.
A circular saw is the power tool teamed by a blade or disc which cuts the materials by advancing with blades, designed as per the cuts, finishing and material picked. Also called table saw. It plunges in a rotating motion. Has dangerous havoc like kickbacks or deep cuts.
Blade, bladder guard and handle with a motor and a trigger system works for the circular saw. In general, the saw is in motion advancing into the wood, starts by uncovering the blades guard and releasing two triggers system, moves into the wood, making chips off the wood. The number of teeth and the abrasions makes the cuts smooth and accurate
Handheld or machine driven uses the power or hydraulic motors, whilst skill saw is the widely accepted and the hand holding the circular saw.
Blades used:
When picking a blade for a circular saw, the one with more number of teeth and smaller bullets to be chosen. Ripping blades having larger bullets facilitates the fast-working and has a smaller number of teeth cuts are not smooth.
Plywood blades and cross-cutting blades have fine teeth which allow smooth finished cuts. Combination blades have the balancing feature of both large sized bullets and also a large number of teeth generally does miter and grain cuts.
Abrasive blades are rough surfaced, effective cutting. Thin kerf is used in machine engineering cuts.
Alternate top bevel teeth are angled, named as all-purpose blade where flat top grind blades have squared tips, fast working blades.
woodworking-dust-mask
Router tool is a high-speed rotating woodworking tool, which digs out the portions of the wood. These hand tools work on the efficiency and power of the wood-workers hand.
Principle and working:
Run with a 3 motor system or advanced 4 motor system, shank bits to be fitted into its collets, present at the end of its shaft, and carries the work with adjustments.
Spindle router Vs CNC router:
Spindle shaper or router forms the chamfers, varies the end decorations with the bits and shank fixes into the collet of the router, and the spindle router clamped at an end
CNC router:
Operated by a monitor, with a CAD/CAM programming, shape to be routed is pre-designed by the computer and forms the desired model.
Router Bits or shanks:
A router tip is of varying unlimited range based on the diameter of the shank, sizes in the router collet, the shape of the bits, and picked on the compatibility of collet- shank of the router.
Half inch Vs one-fourth inch:
Though rather expensive, woodworkers do suggest half inch shank bits as they make precise, no grinding needed and less risked cuts than of one-fourth inch with 6mm and 8mm too.
Fixed Vs plunged routers:
The fixed base router has the height adjustment of the router, and locked, while the router bits adjustments occur when locked in plunged routers. Micro adjustments, dovetail jigs, templates, adding and removal of tools, shank changes, bases interchanging goes easier on fixed than the plunged.
Best Block Planes
A block plane is a tool, which is used for woodworking. The tool is very small and therefore, the users can work single-handedly with it. Thus, the small size accounts for the efficiency of the working of the hand-plane. In a block plane, the blade is attached at an angle lower than the rest of the planes. The level of the block plane is situated upwards.
The block plane was made with the purpose of planning the grains, especially, the edges of the boards. The demand for a tool arose which could be held with one hand and the required tasks can be performed with the help of it. Thus, the idea of a block plane came up.
What can be done with the tiny tool?
The small size of the block plane makes it handy and easy to use it. Most frequently, the block plane is used for paring the end grains. This is made possible because the blade of the block plane is set at an angle, which is lower than the other planes. This allows the blade to transverse through the grain in an efficient manner. Generally, the blade is set at an angle of 45 degrees in correspondence with the direction of travel. Thus, the edge slices the fibers of the wood as it passes from one end to the other. Moreover, it also plays an important role in woodworking. It helps in cleaning the components by brushing off shaving of the wood.
A digital caliper is an instrument, which is used for measuring distances of depths with acute precision. The measurements are shown on the LCD screen of the digital caliper. Most importantly, the digital calipers are not costly at all and thus, everyone can afford it. The caliper derives the power to work from a small battery.
The display can be turned on/off with buttons. Moreover, the units of measurement can be changed by the buttons provided on the caliper.
Let us talk about the uses of Digital Caliper
Measurement of external distances
The material whose length needs to be measured is placed amidst the jaws of the caliper. The jaws used for measuring external distances are moved together and the screw used for locking is tightened in order to prevent the jaws from sliding away. The digital display shows the length of the object.
Measurement of internal distances
The jaws used for measurement of internal distances are adjusted to make them touch the internal sides of the object whose internal distance needs to be measured. The screw is tightened for accurate measurements. The LCD display shows the internal distance of the object.
Measurement of depths
The process of measurement of the depth of hold can be a bit challenging. However, the process becomes very easy with a digital caliper. The blade which measures depth is adjusted carefully so that it touches the bottom of the container. The screw is tightened and the reading is displayed.
best hammer
A hammer is a tool, which has a heavy head, which is attached to a handle. The handle is swung to produce an impact on an object. A hammer is a tool, which amplifies the force applied to it. It converts the mechanical force, which is applied to it into kinetic energy. Depending on the purpose of the hammer, the hammers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Along with this, the material used in the production of the hammer differs in accordance with the kind of work, which needs to be performed with it.
Doesn't striking breaks the hammer?
The head of the hammer is made of carbon of high-quality steel which is treated with heat. This accounts for the durability and strength of the hammer. Moreover, the treatment of the hammerhead with heat prevents the hammer from cracking or chipping even after the head of the hammer strikes hard surfaces.
What is the purpose of handles in a hammer?
The head strikes the object to produce an impact on it. Then, what is the purpose of the handle?
The handle prevents the user from getting hurt by keeping the hands of the users away from the area, which is being impacted. Also, it helps in holding the hammer comfortably and reduces the recoil shocks produced by the hammer. Along with this, it helps the users to increase the velocity of the head to have a more powerful impact. The length of the hammer helps in swinging its head easily.
Best Moisture Meters
Moisture meters are quite useful tools that help us to detect the percentage of water into an object. This information is quite important to understand the product's usefulness. This is because extra moisture damages the main contain any product. Before packaging, these parameters are needed to be checked thoroughly to ensure the maintained quality of the specific product. In the same way, lack of moisture is also not good for the prevention of any good. Thanks to this wonderful tool. These are efficient enough to detect the moisturizer level and prepare any product in the way exactly it should be for packaging. Let us check out the types of moisture meters.
The wood moisture Meter
The wood generally accounts a high moisture percentage of approximately 80:20 ratio. These are not ready to use for starting construction works or other uses. Therefore, it passes through an accurate drying process. Then the moisture meter is used to detect is readiness for applying them into production.
Soil Moisture Meter
With another testing, the exact and accurate humidity level check is also necessary for setting up a fruitful agricultural for. These soil moisture meters are capable enough to update with the right level of moistures present in the soil. As per the result, the water facility systems are installed in order to maintain the desired humidity level that is required for sustainable farming.
Snow Melt System activation
These inevitable tools help to detect the level of heat produced by the electric wires under the road surface in the U.S. From the result, administrating the body takes the decision of switching the heating system off or on. This saves the driveways, sidewalks, and roads from melting due to high heat.
Utility knives or Stanley knives are quite useful in our day- to -day life. If we look at the past, we can see that these knives used to have stable blades with a cutting edge. These were specifically used for cutting cordages, slaughtering animals and more. However, with the ever-changing time, it has changed its primary features. Today, the small folding and recant knives are also called the utility knives. They have wide use in the construction industry as well as in common workplace. It comes in a varieties range of style and length. As per their usage, we can classify them in three different sections-
The Fixed Blade Utility Knives
We use these primarily in outdoor activities like camping, fishing or traveling. It consists of a fixed lightweight blade. These are quite efficient in cutting thin surfaces. It offers a high level of precision in terms of cutting.
Workplace utility Knives
It comes with a retracting blade. Razor blades or double-ended blades, both fit well in these knives. You can use them for cutting tape sealing, papers and more. It comes with an added advantage of changing the blades. In case they stop performing well, you can get it replaced with a new one.
Handsaws or panel saws are used in cutting wood into various shapes in carpentry and woodworking work. It consists of a blade having teeth that cut the hardwood into pieces. The large teeth in handsaws are generally for softwoods whereas the small teeth are for hardwoods. Generally, to rip the softwood the handsaws that have 2 to 8 teeth per inches and cutting hardwoods the blades of medium size having 10 to 20 teeth per inches are used. However, to cut very hard wood or the precise and actual cuts, the handsaws having the blades with 20 to 30 teeth per inches are available.
Teeth available in various shape and size
The teeth of blades in hand saws are of various shapes and direction that indicates what type of wood is to be ripped or how to be ripped. In handsaws, two types of layouts are most common i.e. rip cut and crosscut. The crosscut saws have narrow pointed blades and sharp edges. These pointed sharp edges works as small knives that cut kerfs from both sides. The crosscut handsaws work on both push and pull strokes but it works better when stroked in one direction. Rip cut hand saws consist of blades that have quite thick teeth and only their below edges are sharp. These teeth work as tiny incisors and only chip the wood and work only in one direction i.e. either at pull stroke or push stroke that depends on the blade of the hand saw.
An angle grinder or disc grinders are the powerful handheld tools that are used for metalworking, polishing and grinding in construction works. These angle grinders are the electronic tools that work with the help of a petrol engine, compressed air, batteries or an electric motor. This tool consists of a guard that can be adjusted as per the requirement and one side handles to comfort the user to use it by two hands. However, angle grinders are basically for rough discs due to its ability to interchange power source they are used with various attachments and cutters. Angle grinders are also used in removing the unwanted or excessive material from a portion.
A cordless drill is an electric tool that contains batteries that are rechargeable. Cordless drills are used for making round holes for driving fasteners into them. Drills are changed according to their sizes, power, and speed. Cordless drills are offered with the features that are quite similar to the AC mains power drill. These drills are of the common type and are available in the configuration of a hammer drill and the majority of them consist of a clutch that aids while driving screws into fasteners or others without destructing them. The right angle in cordless drills allows its user to drive the screw in a rigid space. To use these cordless drills continuously one has to carry another battery packs during drilling. Nowadays, batteries that are quickly rechargeable are also available that charges within 10 to 15 minutes.
The NiCd batteries
The interchangeable battery packs available in cordless drills are usually of 18 V but the battery packs of high voltages are also available that are up to 24 V, 28 V & 36 V. The higher voltage of these batteries allows these cordless drills to produce torque similar to the corded drills. The most common batteries used in cordless drills are NiCd and lithium-ion batteries. The advantage of NiCd batteries is that they are less expensive but its disadvantages are that it has limited durability and is self-dischargeable. Lithium-ion batteries are the most common due to its less time of charging, low weight and longer life. The Lithium-ion batteries can be kept charged for about two years when not used whereas the NiCd battery lasts for one to four months only.
Hacksaw is a type of hand-held tool having a fine-toothed blade used for cutting wood. The blade of the hack saw is replaceable and can be replaced and removed whenever its teeth get blunt. It consists of two tiny holes at the opposite ends of the blade through which it is fixed in the frame. Blades of hacksaws are basically available in 250mm and 300 mm i.e. approx 9.8 and 11.8 inches. The blade of size 300mm is used mostly, however, the hacksaws that have adjustable frames accept the blades of 250mm also along with blades of 300mm.
The magic of blade
The blades of hacksaws are designed in such a way that it works only on the push stroke. While using hacksaw one should place the blade in frame pointing the teeth slightly at a distance from the handle. Hacksaw consists of the blades that have small teeth and a straight gullet and hence it removes and cuts only a small portion at each stroke in carpentry work. Hence, working with hacksaws provides slow work through which the work provided shows a neat and clean finish.
Tooth of the blades in hacksaws seems like the line of a wave that helps in keeping the blades more durable when used on hard metals. It has 14 to 32 teeth per inch and generally, 18 teeth are appropriate for cutting soft metal or hard plastic. For cutting, the metals like steel hacksaws having blades with 20 to 32 TPI are used. The handles of hacksaws are basically large and closed that helps in avoiding to slip out during quick sawing process.
Drill bits are the cutting tools used to create holes in materials. These are available in varying shapes and sizes. The wide variety helps in creating different types of holes in different materials. The cutting work on materials is carried out by attaching the drill bit to drill which powers the rotation. The chunk of the drill holds the upper end of the bit called shank.
Drill bits made of hard materials are prone to breaking particularly when the drill is not operated in a constant angle. Drill bits made of different materials are available in the market. Bits made of certain materials are suitable for making holes in some materials. Some drill bits are convenient for woodwork while others are more suitable for metal works. Bits with flatter points (135° angle ) are suitable for drilling harder materials while steeper points (118°) is best for softer material usage. For home works and workshops bit set with sizes ranging from 1/16 into 1/4 in are best.
Drill Maintenance
All the drill bits come with a coating to protect it from corrosion and maintain its heat resistance. Twist drill bits are universal as these are produced in the largest quantity in the market. Like the name, these bits consist of a cylindrical shaft with helical flutes and a pointed tip. The advantage of this structure of the bit is its ability to lift swarf out of the hole. Any drill bits selected should be compatible with the material to be drilled and the tool to be used.
Credited as the silent heroes of any workshop, clamps are fastening devices that are used to hold the objects tightly together. This tool prevents the movement or even separation of the object when subjected to inward pressures. Though there are wide arrays of clamps available in the market today, all share the same fundamental parts and operating principle. The object is held between two jaws of the clamp. One jaw is usually fixed while the other is moveable.
Adjusting jaws for pressure
The moveable jaw can be adjusted and tightened to create the required clamping pressure for the work. The closing mechanism of many clamps has screw thread with pivoting foot while other clamps feature ratchet or cam activated tightening parts.
While buying a clamp, the jaws are the most important parts to be considered. Jaws are the only parts that meet the work object. If the jaws are small in size then the pressure applied on the working object is more and can cause indentations. If the jaws have large faces, the pressure applied to the object is spread throughout the wide area of the jaw. This will not damage the work object. The weight of the clamp is another factor to be considered while buying clamps. Lighter clamps are sufficient for delicate or smaller work assemblies.
Clamps are popularly used in carpentry, masonry and most of the DIY works. Clamps can be used for temporarily holding the position of the objects or can be intended to be used permanently.
A chainsaw is a portable mechanical saw with a guide bar through which a rotational chain with a set of teeth runs. Chain saw is popularly used for activities like tree felling, pruning and cutting firewood. These portable cutters are used for cutting anything that is large or required precise cuts.
The range of Chainsaws
Chainsaws come in a range of sizes, from small to hefty ones. These are also available in different types: corded electric, gas and battery-operated cordless saws. Design of a standard chainsaw features handles on the front and rear end on the motor housing or engine. It also has a cutting bar which extends from the housing. Though chain saws can be used for many activities, the most popular use is cutting woods.
While purchasing chainsaws, one has to think of the size and type of wood to be cut. Bar length is a crucial point in deciding the work the chainsaw can handle. Saw with longer bar length is most suitable for cutting large-diameter wood in one go. The bar length of most household saws ranges from 6 inches on the smaller electric saw to 20 inches on the gas-powered saw. Chainsaws for professional use has bar lengths more than 20 inches.
Chainsaws with anti-vibration features make a good saw as it is comfortable and reduces the fatigue of the user. Good chain saws come with automatic oiler which lubricates the chain while cutting. This will reduce the burden on the user to oil the chains often to ease the workflow. While buying chainsaw one has to also look into the availability of spring-assist starting and chain brake features to ensure they have zeroed on the best chainsaw.
A level is a vital instrument required in any field. These are called a spirit level, bubble level or simply level. A level is used to indicate whether the surface of consideration is horizontal or vertical (plumb). The level is used for different activities by stonemasons, carpenters, bricklayers, surveyors and for the DIY home improvement projects. Different types of levels are available such as cross-check, digital, laser, line, post level, and standard levels.
Before buying a level, one should have a clear idea of the type of project being carried out and the kind of level required. Levels, which are lengthy, are extremely handy for paver, drywall or lumber projects. Levels with magnetic features are available today. This allows hands-free use of levels on metal surfaces. Latest levels come with optional features such as LED lights and digital readout. These are helpful while working in low light areas.
Essential Features
Some essential features to be considered while buying levels are accuracy, durability and visibility. A spirit level or bubble level is truly useful when these are capable of delivering precise level measurements. It is preferable to use levels with 0.0005″/1″ accuracy or above. As levels are also used for outdoor works in jobsites rather than DIY household work, these should be able to withstand the harsh environment. Levels are useless without the ability to show the position of the bubble. Therefore, always opt for contrasting colored levels with sharp site feature. The levels can be used for scaling the level of the wall hanging in house to viewing the alignment of bricks in a construction site.
An essential device known for its accuracy and efficiency, a drill press is a blessing to any woodworker. This device is either mounted on a stand or bolted to the workbench or floor. Therefore, this device comes in two types: A bench type and a floor type drill press. A bench drill is portable and easy to manage but is not powerful and is useful for drilling of a small hole. Floor drill stands on the floor, is designed for heavy drilling, and forms large holes.
Another variant of drill press used today is a magnetic drill press, which has a magnetic base. This makes it easy for mounting on a metal surface. These can withstand intense workload and are comparatively lightweight.
Comparing to hand drills, these require less effort in drilling. The use of clamps in drill press restricts the position to be worked on, making the operation secure. The holes are drilled accurately and consistently in a drill press as the angle of the spindle is fixed relative to the table unlike hand drills.
The ideal drill press
An ideal drill press will have a flat base, which ensures accuracy, a solid framework having quality clamps and parts. The drill should have a stopper to prevent too deep drilling. A key tightened attachment of chuck to the drill press is another characteristic feature of the ideal drill press. The latest drill presses come with in-built ports to collect dust. While buying a drill press, you have to decide the type of drill that suits your requirement. For small and easy works, bench top drills are the best choice. For professional grade works, heavy duty floor drills are the best.
A measuring tape is a must for workers. A tape measure consists of plastic, fiberglass or metal strip with markings of linear measurement. Tape measures come handy on surfaces, which cannot be measured using rigid scales, and require flexibility to stretch and bend. There are four types of tape measures: cased tape, sewing tape, open-reel or long tape and D-tape. Cased tape measures are widely popular and versatile design. These have a measuring tape in rubber or metal holder and can be easily carried in pockets or clipped onto tool belts. These come in a standard 25-foot tape measure. Sewing tapes are commonly used for sewing and DIY works. These tapes are made of clothes or vinyl materials. These tapes are available in a standard length of 60 inches to extra-long 120 inches length. The D-tapes, on the other hand, is similar to cased tape but has the flexibility to easily wrap around circular objects. The long reel tapes are highly used by contractors and engineers. These tape length can range from 25 to 500 feet.
Buy Tape measure according to need
Most of the tapes have markings on both sides and are measured in feet, meters, and centimeters. All the tapes except sewing tapes have a spiked structure on the open end of the tape. This helps in holding the tape on position and maintains stability. Any changes in the action of the spike will definitely result in variation in the accuracy of the measurement. Buy measuring tape according to the need of the project you do. Tapes that do not wear out easily after continuous use are ideal for any profession.

BkiUfTs5qhDCkVn5uarR | Our entries from Croatia largely went native this year. Lots of golden Grasevina from the lush, inland, hilly zones north of Bosnia-Herzegovina scored highly with dry, late-harvest and true dessert wines. These will surely contribute to a real change of image for a grape that used to be infamous, at least to the older British drinking public, as Laski Rizling. Grasevina's broad, easily appealing fresh bread and lemon curd hallmark serve to make it Croatia's most popular grape.
What should we buy from here?
On the coast, especially in Istria, there are various forms of Malvazija – a little firmer and crisper in style than those from other regions. In the past five years, the excellent and self-critical Istrian winemakers have learned how to best show off this difficult grape and quality is vastly improved. Further south, in Dalmatia, young Malvazijas are vivid and lively, cutting nicely through local seafood and the wonderful regional olive oil it is cooked with. Wines with more maturity no longer have the high macerations and high alcohols of the past but are now subtly lengthened and softened by skilful use of acacia or light oak to leave them herbal and gently spicy.
What should we leave on the shelf?
The white grape Posip did not fare as well as in past years. The wines were mostly hotter and clumsier than they have been, mainly because of vintage conditions. Dalmatia's starred, Plavac Mali, which until now has consistently become cleaner and more visibly full of red plum fruit and finer tannins, reverted to its past slightly dirty and farmyardy style – at least as far as our entries were concerned. This was a shame; let's hope it's merely a blip.
What should we keep an eye on?
Teran from Istria: it can be tough but, when made well, it's a cool, elegant red with pure sloe and elderberry fruit and a great partner in a blend with Merlot. Finally, two white wine pleas for producers: next year, can we see some deliciously fresh, Marastinas as well as more wonderful, rich, herb- and peachdriven Grks? Croatia's native grapes need to be more widely known and appreciated. The second plea is to Decanter readers: the extraordinary dedication that goes into making dessert wines deserves your recognition, and Croatia makes them out of almost every grape going. Seek them out, sip, savour, smile and spread the word about these and the country's other hidden gems. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd2Y4ubnhAqznN-xf | Determining where to place your dumpster can have a large effect on how quickly you complete jobs. The most efficient alternative is to select a place that's near the worksite. It is very important, nevertheless, to consider whether this place is a safe choice. Make sure the place is free of obstacles that could trip folks while they carry heavy debris.
Lots of folks decide to place dumpsters in their own drives. This is really a convenient choice since it generally means you can avoid asking the city for a license or permit. If you must place the dumpster on the street, then you need to get in touch with your local government to inquire whether you have to get a license. Although a lot of municipalities will let people keep dumpsters on the road for brief amounts of time, others are going to request that you fill out some paperwork. Following these rules will help you stay away from fines that can make your job more costly.
If you rent a 30 yard dumpster, you will be receiving a container that will hold 30 cubic yards of waste or debris. Your 30 yard container will measure about 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 6 feet high. These numbers could change slightly depending on the dumpster rental company in Rio Medina you select. A 30 yard dumpster will hold between 9 and 15 pickup truck loads of waste, therefore it's a great option for whole-home residential cleanouts in addition to commercial cleanup jobs.
One of the most important things to do when you're contemplating a construction or remodeling job is to plan ahead. Section of that procedure will be researching your dumpster needs for the project. Knowing ahead of time how dumpster rental in Rio Medina works will make things easier when you start the procedure. It's possible for you to locate the majority of the overall info you need online, but for advice unique to your region, you'll need to call your local company. Be sure to ask about any hidden or extra fees so you don't get stuck with a surprise statement.
One of the biggest parts of your research will be determining the right size container you need to rent based on the size of the endeavor. This will be your biggest price, so be sure to get a size that is large enough to last for the entire project. Other problems to research first include a potential place for the container, the type of waste which you're throwing away and the period of time you will need the dumpster.
Junk removal vs dumpster rental in Rio Medina - Which is right for you?
For those who have a job you're going to undertake at home, you might be wondering if it is better to hire someone to come haul off all your garbage and crap for you, or if you need to just rent a dumpster in Rio Medina and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better option if you prefer the flexibility to load it on your own time and you do not mind doing it yourself to save on labour. Dumpsters also work well in case you have at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Rolloffs usually begin at 10 cubic yards, thus if you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you're paying for a lot more dumpster than you want.
Trash or crap removal makes more sense should you prefer another person to load your old things. It also works well if you prefer it to be taken away fast so it is outside of your own hair or in case you only have a few large items; this is likely cheaper than renting a whole dumpster.
One of the greatest concerns you likely have when renting a dumpster in Rio Medina is how much it'll cost. One of the very best approaches to negate this anxiety would be to have exact info. When you phone to get a price quote, have a good idea of how much waste you will have to remove so you can get the most effective recommendation on dumpster size. In case you're unsure on the amount of waste, renting a size larger will save you the added expense of renting another dumpster if the first proves overly small.
Supply any information you think is applicable to make sure you do not end up paying for services that you do not really need. More than a few companies charge by the container size, while others charge by weight. Make sure you know which is which so you've a clear estimate. Also be sure to request whether the estimate you receive includes landfill costs; this will keep you from being surprised by an additional fee later.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in Rio Medina will make your job easier and safer to end on time. When renting a dumpster in Rio Medina, follow these hints to help you plan ahead.
When you rent a dumpster in Rio Medina, you're dealing with professionals who use terms connected with the construction industry and dumpsters each day. As you likely do not use these terms every single day, here's a bit of the lingo to get you acclimated. This can really assist you to cope with business workers who may get impatient if you don't understand what they're describing about their products.
"Container" and "roll off" are both satisfactory terms for the large metal box you want to rent. Professionals don't use the term "dumpster" as much as the other terms. Containers are often let in cubic yard sizes, but you don't have to comprise the "cubic" part. Simply say "yard" or "yarder." If, for example, you need to rent a 30-yard dumpster, you can say, "I am interested in a 30-yard roll off" or "I Had like to rent a 30-yarder." Take advantage of these terms, and you will seem like a pro when you call.
When you need to rent a dumpster in Rio Medina to use at your home, it is a great idea to keep several guidelines in mind. First, determine the size dumpster that'll work best for your project. Temporary dumpsters generally come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Then think about the positioning of the dumpster on your own premises. Recommendations call for you to provide an area that's twice the width and height of the container. This may ensure appropriate height and space clearance.
The price you are quoted for the container will include a one-time delivery and pickup fee, along with normal fees for disposal, fuel and tax. You need to also realize you could just fill the container to the top; no debris should be sticking out. As the homeowner, it's also wise to check to your local city or municipality to determine whether a license is required to put the container on the road.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in Rio Medina?
If you plan to clean out the whole home, then you most likely need a 20-yard roll off dumpster. You can likewise use this size for a sizable cellar or loft clean out.
When choosing a dumpster, though, it's frequently advisable to ask for a size bigger than what you think you will need. Unless you're a professional, it's tough to gauge the precise size needed for your project. By getting a somewhat bigger size, you spend a bit more money, but you also avoid the possibility you will run out of room. Renting a bigger dumpster is nearly always cheaper than renting two small ones.
Choosing the top dumpster for your endeavor is an important aspect of dumpster rental in Rio Medina. If you choose a dumpster that's too small, you will not have enough room for your debris and waste, which means you'll have to schedule additional trips. In case you choose one that's too big, you'll save time, but you'll waste money.
If you call a dumpster rental firm in Rio Medina and describe the job for which you want a dumpster, they can advocate the finest size. Their years of experience mean that they usually get it just about right. A 10-yard dumpster typically functions well for medium-sized clean-up projects and little remodeling jobs. A 20-yard dumpster is the best option for large dwelling clean-up projects and medium-sized renovation projects, while a 30-yard dumpster has higher walls which are perfect for a house cleanout or remodeling jobs on a sizable house. 40-yard dumpsters are massively large and are used only on the biggest projects like new construction. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being prepared by the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and is registered as number 1961.1.124.
Josef Albers dedicated well over two decades of his career to his celebrated series Homage to the Square. Despite their outward effortlessness, closer inspection of works like Homage to the Square: Sudden Change reveal these paintings to be profound in their exploration of color theory, planar manipulation and pure beauty. Albers has said of his paintings, "they move forth and back, in and out, and grow up and down and near and far, as well as enlarged and diminished. All this, to proclaim color autonomy as a means of plastic organization"(J. WiBmann, "Josef Albers' Homages to the Square as the Unity of Rationality and Sensitivity," Josef Albers, London, 1989, p. 21). The square black core of Homage to the Square: Sudden Change superbly creates this illusion that the center is recessed deeper in space than the two shades of fresher green and the dove gray that surround it. The dark olive green that frames the entire composition is the darkest hue, expanding the edge of the painting outwards, while the black pulls one's vision inwards.
As Henry Geldzahler, curator of Albers's 1971 retrospective at the New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, writes in the catalogue to the exhibition, "The Homage to the Square paintings…are his major concern not so much because of any compulsive need to project the same image again and again, but because they provide a controlled structure for his ideas and feelings about color. They work in this sense much as does a control factor in a scientific experiment, the unchanging factor by which one measures all the others" (H. Geldzalher, "Introduction," Josef Albers at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1971, p. 9).
Throughout the series, Albers would methodically place one color next to another, exploring the full range of the palette in combinations of three or four colors at a time. This deliberate and methodical study of color would also translate into a teaching philosophy developed over the course of a lifetime. Fleeing Germany due to Nazi persecution, Albers became a teacher at Black Mountain College where his students included Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, and Ruth Asawa. In 1950, Albers would leave North Carolina to take up a position as head of the design department of Yale University, where he would teach Sheila Hicks and Eva Hesse. It was a Yale that the square became the primary focus of his study. This intense interaction with the same shape would certainly influence Hesse, who transformed the square into the three-dimensional cube in works such as Accession, and other Minimalists like Donald Judd, who held a profound appreciation for Albers. Judd lauded the artist's Homage to the Square series when he wrote: "there is very much a simple, suitable, and natural wholeness to the arrangement of squares within squares, which is one of the best ideas in the world, one which provided enormous versatility and complexity. This arrangement is easily at one with color. It's amazing that it so quietly produces such brilliance. …I was most impressed by the color, so that I neglected, underestimated, the singularity and efficacy of the concentric squares. They, of course, easily allow the color to be so diverse" (D. Judd, Painting on Paper: Josef Albers in America, Munich, p. 35).
Albers would synthesize his study of the relationality of color in the aptly named book Interaction of Color in 1963. On the first page, Albers lays out the tenets of his philosophy: "First, it should be learned that one and the same color evokes innumerable readings. Instead of mechanically applying or merely implying laws and rules of color harmony, distinct color effects are produced through recognition of the interaction of color by making, for instance, two very different colors look alike, or nearly alike" (J. Albers, Interaction of Color, Yale University Press, 1963, p. 1). For Albers, the study and teaching of color was not an aesthetic practice divorced from the mechanics of daily life. In the same way that his study resulted in a system of teaching art that would influence some of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Albers learned a way of living and thinking about the world. Like color, Albers found life, in all its dimensional complexity and nuance, to be contextual, relational, and perceptual, shifting and changing depending upon the perspective and position from which one engaged it. Thus, through his interaction with color, Albers sought the spiritual through the daily practice of making art.
The present work is from the collection of George S. Rosenthal, a prescient collector, who distinguished himself in the field of graphic design in the early 1950s. As a publisher of Portfolio, he ran one of the most influential graphic design magazines of the 20th century. Rosenthal's family owned a printing press called S. Rosenthal and Co., and created Zebra Press to publish pictorial paperbacks and innovative, affordable photojournalist books including Weegee's legendary Naked City. Rosenthal, who was also a photographer, attended Laszlo Moholy-Nagy's school, The Chicago School of Design, and was close to artists like Man Ray and Moholy-Nagy himself. Rosenthal conceived Portfolio as a luxurious and avant-garde publication, bringing together the finest quality paper and printing methods with his new Bauhaus aesthetic inspiration. Alexey Brodovitch, the acclaimed visionary art director of Harper's Bazaar between 1934 and 1958, served as Portfolio's Art Director. To maintain the publication's aesthetic integrity, they chose to forgo advertising, which made it commercially impractical; it lasted only three issues but its impact was immediate and wide-ranging. Portfolio featured art as an essential part of its avant-garde layouts, which Brodovitch and Rosenthal oversaw, including articles on artists such as Francisco Goya and Alexander Calder, as well as a feature on graffiti art. Most famously, Hans Namuth's cinematic photographs of Jackson Pollock flinging paint upon his canvases appeared in Portfolio's third issue in 1951.

BkiUdVo5qoYAwaI90Ube | The lattice of a general crystal structure is determined by giving six lattice parameters, $a, b, c, \alpha, \beta,$ and $\gamma$. The first 3 parameters are connected with the length of the 3 primitive vectors of the crystal; the last 3 are the angles between the primitive vectors. The definition of the lattice parameters can be seen in the following figure taken from the wikipedia page on lattice constants.
The values of the parameter ngridk in the input file have been chosen in order to allow for a fast calculation. Of course, the complete optimization procedure presented in this tutorial should be repeated for more accurate values of ngridk and the other computational parameters up to the desidered accuracy in the resulting lattice constants.
In the next, we illustrate the iterative procedure for performing the optimization of the crystal structure of hexagonal Beryllium. The only relevant parameters in this case are the volume of the unit cell and the $c/a$ ratio.
0.03, the absolute value of the maximum strain for which we want to perform the calculation.
Optimized lattice parameter saved into the file: "BM-optimized.xml".
The BM_eos.out file, for instance, contains all final fit parameters and pressures which are calculated from equation of state fitting procedure. Also, the script generates a plot, PostScript (BM_eos.eps) or PNG (BM_eos.png) file, which looks like the following.
On this plot, you can also find the optimized values of the parameters appearing in the equation of state (minimum energy, equilibrium volume, bulk modulus, and bulk modulus pressure derivative).
The bulk modulus and bulk modulus pressure derivative which are derived here have to be interpreted only as fitting parameters. This is due to the fact that in this tutorial we are changing the volume, however, we are keeping all other lattice parameter constant. In order to obtain the real physical bulk modulus and bulk modulus pressure derivative, one has to fully optimize at each given volume with respect to all other lattice and internal parameters (e.g., in the case of hexagonal beryllium, with respect to the $c/a$ ratio, too).
A file corresponding to an exciting input file for the optimized geometry is created with the name BM-optimized.xml. If you are interested to check how accurate the calculated equilibrium parameters at this step are, you can find more information here.
Optimized lattice parameter saved into the file: "coa-optimized.xml".
Repeat now the procedure already explained in STEP1, running the script OPTIMIZE-lattice.py and using as entries values 2-COA.xml, 1, 0.005, and 11 in the given order. After having performed the calculation (running the script OPTIMIZE-submit.sh inside the directory VOL), you run OPTIMIZE-lattice.py and get the following plot.
Proceed in a similar way to to STEP2. Run the script OPTIMIZE-lattice.py using as entries values 3-VOL.xml, 2, 0.005, and 11 in the given order. Using the same procedure as in the previous steps, you will end up with the following plot.
The equilibrium volume is converged within 2$\times$10-1 Bohr3.
The c/a ratio is converged within 4$\times$10-4.
The energy at the minimum seems to be converged within 3$\times$10-4 mHa. Indeed, such a small value should be considered an artifact of the optimization procedure, which assumes that the calculated total energies are exact. However, the accuracy in the determination of the minimum energy cannot be smaller than the accuracy of the total energy in a single SCF calculation. For the calculations performed in this tutorial, total energies are calculated with the default value of the accuracy, i.e., 10-3 mHa. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUfms241xiRac9t5Ae | SoilTek Organic Solutions is a new and exciting organic alternative to the typical chemical fertilizations that we are accustomed to. Why? We are all about your soil! If you have soil, call SoilTek. We start with the root of your problems. The Grand Valley is notorious for heavy clays, high alkaline and a lack of rich topsoil, which makes it difficult to grow non-native type plants, including grass. Many of us water with irrigation water which only enhances the salinity problem.
With traditional fertilizers, plants are forced to take up the nutrients some of which is leached out of the soil and some of it evaporates. A chemical reaction takes place that forces the plant to uptake the fertilizer thus causing much more watering to avoid the burning of the lawns, trees, and plants.
SoilTek's approach mimics Mother Nature. We induce millions of live microbes into the soil and feed them with over 300 different inputs, thus resulting in safe, healthy and beautiful results – naturally!
Our system treats the physical and biological aspects of the soil by aerating, removing the aerated plugs, installing a custom blend of organic compost to fill in the holes and following up with a water-soluble organic liquid application to get you growing in the right direction. Followed up with scheduled organic applications, the results are cumulative, which means the build-up of organic materials in your soil will support the plant life that is living in it in a healthy manner. Healthier soils also mean reductions in disease and stress during hotter temperatures and up to 50% less water usage.
SoilTek's services include 35 years expertise, aerations, top dressing/compost, organic injections of trees/shrubs, organic lawn applications, and organic garden applications.

Tax Plan May Kill Deduction Taken by 95% of Itemizers
President Donald Trump and House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (Screen Capture)
(CNSNews.com) - The tax plan the House Ways and Means Committee will release on Wednesday may eliminate the federal income tax deduction that people are currently permitted to take for the state and local income or sales taxes they have paid.
That deduction, according to the latest Internal Revenue Service data, was taken by 42,502,130 tax filers—or 95 percent of the 44,671,840 tax filers who itemized their deductions in tax year 2015.
The deduction allowed those 42,502,130 tax filers to reduce their federal taxable income for 2015 by a combined $351,163,796,000.
The tax reform framework that the White House, the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee agreed to in September said the tax plan it envisions "eliminates most itemized deductions, but retains tax incentives for home mortgage interest and charitable contributions." It did not say it would retain the deduction for state and local income and sales taxes.
The Senate version of the fiscal 2018 budget resolution, which the House approved by a 216-to-212 vote on Oct. 26, specifically envisions "changes in federal tax laws, which may include reducing federal deductions, such as the state and local tax deduction."
Over the weekend, in response to criticism of the potential elimination of the deduction for state and local income and sales taxes, House Ways and Means Committee Kevin Brady (R.-Texas) announced that his committee would not eliminate the itemized deduction for local property taxes—which is different from the itemized deduction that allows people to subtract the money they pay in state and local income or sales taxes from their federal taxable income.
"At the urging of lawmakers, we are restoring an itemized property tax deduction to help taxpayers with local tax burdens," said Brady.
On Monday, as reported by the Washington Post, Brady said the three deductions the committee would keep in its simplified tax code would be for mortgage interest, charitable contributions and property taxes.
"Right now on the postcard will be the mortgage deduction, the charitable and the property tax deduction," Brady said.
Data from tax year 2015, which is the latest the IRS has released, shows that the deduction for state and local income and sales taxes is used by 95 percent of taxpayers who itemize their deductions.
In 2015, according to the IRS, there were 149,726,990 federal tax filers. Of these, 44,671,840—or about 30 percent—itemized their deductions. Among these 44,671,840 tax filers who itemized their deductions, 42,502,130—or about 95 percent--claimed a deduction for state and local income or sales taxes. (Of the 42,502,130 who claimed a deduction for state and local income or sales taxes, 32,956,930 claimed a deduction for income taxes and 9,545,930 claimed a deduction for sales taxes.)
This table shows the number of federal tax filers in 2015 by adjusted gross income. It then shows the number in each AGI range who itemized their deductions, who claimed a deduction for state and local income or sales taxes, and the percentage of itemizers in that AGI range who claimed that deduction:
In a recent summary of existing federal tax deductions, the Congressional Research Service explained how the state and local income and sales tax deduction and the separate property tax deduction work. "Taxpayers who itemize can choose between deducting either state and local income taxes or sales taxes, but not both," said CRS.
"Tax filers," it said, "can claim an itemized deduction for property taxes paid on owner-occupied residences."
The state and local income or sales tax deduction is not just used by wealthy taxpayers.
In 2015, there were 7,659,190 tax filers with AGIs between $50,000 and $75,000 who itemized their deductions rather than take the standard deduction. Of these, 7,253,100—or about 95 percent—claimed a deduction for state and local income or sales taxes.
That deduction reduced the federal taxable income of those filers in the $50,000-to-$75,000 bracket by a combined $19,144,842,000.
There were 6,926,330 tax filers with AGIs between $75,000 and $100,000 who chose to itemize their deductions. Of these, 6,645,180—or about 96 percent—claimed a deduction for state and local income or sales taxes.
That deduction reduced the federal taxable income of those filers in the $75,000-to-$100,000 bracket by a combined $25,454,408,000.
Also in 2015, there were 13,936,090 tax filers with AGIs between $100,000 and $200,000 who itemized their deductions. Of these, 13,520,160—or about 97 percent—claimed a deduction for state and local income and sales taxes.
That deduction reduced the federal taxable income of those filers in the $100,000-to-$200,000 bracket by a combined $87,372,834,000.
Together, the 22,435,750 tax filers who had adjusted gross incomes ranging from $50,000 to $200,000 in 2015 who claimed a deduction for state and local income or sales taxes equaled 96 percent of all itemizers in that income range. Together, they were able to subtract $131,972,084,000 from their taxable income because of the deduction.
At the same time, 398,090 taxpayers with AGIs of $1,000,000 or more in 2015 also claimed a deduction for state and local income or sales taxes. That equaled 99 percent of itemizers in that income tax range. These tax filers were able to subtract a combined $98,152,307,000 from their taxable income.
Sen. Rand Paul (R.-Ky.) was the only Senate Republican to vote against the budget resolution. In explaining his vote, he cited the potential impact of eliminating the deduction for state and local income and sales taxes while retaining progressive tax rates.
"The problem comes because in their plan they've eliminated the deductions many Americans take for their state and local taxes, and they've also eliminated the personal exemption," said Paul in an op-ed published by Breitbart. "This could put many Americans in the $50,000-$200,000 range in a trap where their taxes would go up--some very significantly.
"There are solutions, and I'll offer a few possible ones here," said Paul. "First, if you really do want to eliminate the state and local deductions and think it is good policy, that's fine. But then the rate the taxpayer pays must be low enough to compensate for it. That's always been the idea behind the 'Flat Tax,' but it applies here. You have to lower the middle rate from 25 to 20 to come near fixing the problem for everyone.
"You can also adjust the brackets, making more middle- and upper-middle class people subject to the 12 percent rate for a larger share of their income," said Paul.
The tax plan framework released by the White House and the Ways and Means Committee calls for three or four tax rates—but does not indicate the income levels to which they would apply.
"Under current law," says the framework, "taxable income is subject to seven brackets. The framework aims to consolidate the current seven tax brackets into three brackets of 12 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent."
The framework then adds: "An additional top rate may apply to the highest-income taxpayers to ensure that the reform tax code is at least as progressive as the existing tax code and does not shift the tax burden from high-income to lower- and middle-income taxpayers."

BkiUdUc5qX_Bs6SJ_9jM | Lovable Pets Slots
One of RTG's more original titles and a game that features some of the company's best use of color and animation, Lovable Pets is a lighthearted gambling adventure capable of delivering huge rewards despite its innocent appearance. The games of RTG are incredibly comfortable to play since they are available for Download, Instant Play, and mobile devices since their release. Some of the best online casinos powered by RTG's software and offer Lovable Pets Slots as a choice are Red Cherry, Las Atlantis, and Fair Go. The contribution of Real-Time Gaming to the online slot genre has stood out with ever-improving appearances and more innovative rules, and Lovable Pets exemplifies both.
A Paradise Filled with Adorable Animals
The reels on the main screen are transparent, allowing players to savor the breathtaking landscape that dominates the background imagery thoroughly. The sun illuminates on top from high up – it is the middle of a beautiful day. The blue-yellowish sky is an inspiring sight that ironically will make any player want to leave the computer screen and go out for a walk. Numerous clouds decorate the horizon and diversify the view. The emerald hills, the trees, and the bushes on them are covered with a golden shine as they bathe in the sunlight. A mountain range stands out with its colder bluish shade far in the distance and contributes perfectly to the marvelous landscape. It is one of the liveliest and harmonic background imagery that players can see in an RTG game, and it perfectly fits with the positive vibes that the game's many cute little pets create.
Profitable Gameplay with Appealing Original and Familiar Elements
The set-up of Lovable Pets involves six reels with four symbol positions each. The game allows for 4096 ways of getting paid. The biggest possible bet is 50 credits. The largest win, which players can get their hands on, is 4536 times the total bet. The gameplay includes both wild and scatter symbols, which have beneficial effects. The paytable has well-paying symbols with a well-balanced variety of prizes and plenty of winning combinations. In addition, casino members will get to enjoy two bonus features – the Re-spins that come with multiplier surprises and the free spins, which also deliver prizes boosted by a multiplying effect.
Lovable Pets' Adorably Irresistible Paytable and Profitable Winning Combinations
The paytable of Lovable Pets is not the most original one, but its best-paying symbols are wholly related to the game's theme. The familiar card suits make an appearance at the bottom of the paytable. The game has 12 symbols, including the wild that doesn't offer payouts and the scatter, which pays with multipliers increasing the total bet. The scatter is the only symbol with three winning combinations - from 3 to 5 matching symbols, paying 1, 5, and 10 times. The rest of the symbols have four combinations – between 3 and 6 symbols, except for the top-paying one, which has five combinations (from 2 to 6 symbols). The purple fish swimming happily in the bowl offers 20, 60, 100, 150, and 250 credits, and it is the game's most profitable symbol with fixed payouts. The dog is next, bringing 50, 75, 125, and 200 credits. The cat's prizes are 3, 60, 100, and 150 credits. The hamster awards 25, 50, 75, and 125 credits. The bone awards 15, 30, 60, and 100 credits. The ball of wool, the kitten's favorite toy, gives 15, 30, 60, and 100 credits. The red heart card suit and the blue diamond one provide 10, 25, 50, and 75 credits. Finally, the green club and the purple spade delivers 5, 15, 30, and 50 credits.
Massive Multipliers Boost the Prizes of Free Spins and Re-Spins
The Guaranteed Re-Spins feature can be activated randomly after a spin with a lost bet. If the Re-Spin also results in a loss, an addition Re-Spin will play out. The earnings from the Re-Spins will end up getting multiplied by a number between one and seven. The second bonus game of Lovable Pets is the free spins feature, which also features multiplier surprises. The free spins get activated as soon as three of the scatters show up on the reels. The larger the number of the triggering symbols is, the larger the number of awarded free spins grows. Three scatters bring eight spins, 4 scatters – 12 spins, and 5 scatters – 16 spins. The random multiplier between one and seven times present in the Re-Spins will also affect the free spins. The feature can't be restarted, unfortunately. Overall, Lovable Pets Slots is a gorgeous-looking RTG game with symbols that will melt players' hearts and profitable winning combinations that will excite them to keep going. While the bonus features are familiar – Re-Spins and Free Spins, the added multiplier rewards make them extra special.

BkiUfZ85qhDCnXuZvNQN | Jurgen Klopp believes that winning the Premier League is the only way the season can be considered a success for Liverpool.
The Reds are third in the Premier League, a couple of points behind leaders Manchester City, and are unbeaten after 11 games. Our next game is against rock-bottom Fulham on Sunday before we head off for the international break.
Klopp was quoted by the Daily Mail regarding the start to the season by the Reds, and their rivals Manchester City and Chelsea.
"The season so far, point-wise, is really successful but it doesn't feel like that for two reasons, Klopp said.
"The comparison with last year and the free-flowing football, and Man City, Chelsea and the others who are playing a very good season as well.
The German even spoke about the threat from Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United after 11 games of the season.
Klopp certainly hit the nail on the head suggesting the performance of the side doesn't look all that great, and our recent loss to Red Star Belgrade has also made our Champions League progress a doubt.
The Reds face an easy game on Sunday against Fulham, and will hope their title rivals drop points in their respective clashes at the weekend. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

A: I didn't read the tutorial in detail, but it seems that for some reason the payload you post to the endpoint should be of a different shape than what DRF usually expects.
There is one thing we need to fix though. Notice how the response from
the "Register" request has all of the user's information at the root
level. Our client expects this information to be namespaced under
"user." To do that, we'll need to create a custom DRF renderer.
So instead of posting this:
{
"email": "user@example.com",
"username": "user",
"password": "hunter2"
}
You have to nest it all under the "user" key.
{
"user": {
"email": "user@example.com",
"username": "user",
"password": "hunter2"
}
}
