BkiUbmu6NNjgBvv4NUHl | IMPORTANT NOTE: I've begun taking the considerable trouble of editing the shows so you don't have to listen to all the commercials. Not sure how long I can keep this up. As you can see, it delays getting the shows posted. (I'm just looking for excuses).
For the third week in a row, I guest-hosted The Harry Browne Show. I had two callers and four emails. Topics covered: The neo-conservative Empire is crumbling; the Bush hypocrisy of condemning "torture chambers;" continued discussion of why the Constitution isn't the best tool for selling small government; ACTION ITEMS = Patriot Act, Snitch Drug Bill, and CAFTA; also discussed disinformation campaign about health supplements. Also dealt with an unusual objection to Read the Bills.
Listen to hour one here and hour two here.
Regarding the Supreme Court, discussed why Ann Coulter was right about retiring Justice O'Connor (even if Ann does use a broomstick for transportation), and why I'm not the least bit interested in who the replacement will be. Oh, and I responded once again, this time doing a better job, to a rare objection to the Read the Bills Act.
I closed the show with a very unique question about Bono and African "debt forgiveness." For this show I had no callers, and one email. But I didn't care, I was on a roll!
You can listen to that episode of the Culture Repair Show here.
Then, the following week, I guest-hosted Harry Browne's show again. The show was a somber one, and was dedicated to Harry Browne, who is quite sick and in the hospital, and to my father, for this would've been his 67th birthday. Consistent with that somber note, I talked about the war – particularly conservative Christian support of it. I contend that both the cruel War on Drugs and our failed foreign policy/the War in Iraq exist because they are supported by Christians. If these folks lived by their theology, then both wars would come to an end.
Laurence Vance, LewRockwell.com columnist and author of Christianity and War was my guest. We had six callers. Of all the shows I've done this far, I am proudest of this one (though the Chris Rufer interview was pretty-stellar as well) in that they provided information, in both a thorough and adult fashion, that you won't get anywhere else, and the callers that responded contributed to the quality of the show.
Quality, educational listening is available at these links: First Hour & Second Hour.
And then, the next day I did more on the War on Drugs and THE War, particularly in Iraq – "War is the health of the State." I covered things we didn't have time to cover including, the horror of war, the moral arguments against the war on drugs and the war in Iraq. My GOA Update was an action item on Democrat/Gun controllers about to load up a pro-gun bill with anti-gun amendments. I had one email and two callers, including my most fun, confrontational, hysterical caller in the show's short history.
I closed the show by giving reasons to be hopeful – how the nanny/warfare state is crumbling right now! And you can listen to this show here.
Is there any word on how Mr. Browne is doing? He's been supposedly ill for what seems like a month. I hope he's doing well.
I figured doing this might gain a bit more exposure for the organisations and their goals. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUbb3xaKPQoka4RBNA | I can't believe the narrative expressed by Magic Johnson now. We didn't want to trade AD now. Period. It's our choice.
O no, we were supposed to cave to whatever Lebron and the Lakers wanted. How dare we put up a fight. They can dismantle and tamper with teams, because it's their right as the Lakers. ******** them all.... I hope Lebron wastes the rest of his career in LA and never sniffs another championship.
Never trust a man with more teeth in his smile than hairs on his head.
Magic is a Phony. That grin was always Fake.
The day AD requested a trade, Gayle let the world know that a trade would only get done on the Pelicans' terms and timeline. Magic & Co. know the Pels aren't trading them AD this summer, otherwise why accuse our front office of negotiating in bad faith when they're going to be calling us back in June? Magic blew his opportunity and failed to appease Lebron, so now he's trying to save face.
I mean.....he's not wrong. I do think the plan was to let the Lakers players know who was on the block and I think we knew all along they didn't have the ammo to entice us to pull the trigger.
I don't think you can complain that a franchise isn't negotiating with you in good faith, when you're the one (or at least, 'The Lakers' as representative of Lebron James) who forced them into negotiations in the first place.
Lebron James and Rich Paul manufactured this entire scenario and turned it into the media circus it became. I have no doubt that Magic was at least aware of this. They also didn't have the best possible offer, and as Woj and Shelburne said, if LA wanted a deal done early, as in before the deadline, they would have to overpay: this makes sense. Given both of those two factors, walking into negotiations and expecting to be waited on hand and foot is always going to look like being treated badly. It's not. It's being treated with the same sense of disrespect that you had when you started this entire thing.
He wants Simmons now too?
Does this guy get a free pass to say this stuff?
I don't think Gayle had anything to do with it to be honest.
Oh I believe that's not true at all. This is a woman that hand writes notes to personal and players. She might not have given the exact details of how to handle things but she knew exactly what was going on and gave approval of everything.
You simply don't get to make a move with a franchise player without all the higher ups involved.
The Lakers are in this weird position with their players, where they think their players are good enough that we are stupid for not trading AD for them, but simultaneously want to trade them for AD.
If their young core is better than AD, and we'd be lucky to have them, why not just keep them?
If their young core isn't better than AD, and are a downgrade, why wouldn't we wait until Summer to evaluate all offers?
Perhaps, but that wasn't the point I was making. I was speaking towards Magic's contention that we acted in bad faith and Gayle's statement, regardless of her role in negotiations, kills that argument. She let the league know in advance that a deal would get done on the Pelicans terms and timeline. Well, everyone knew the terms and timeline that made the most sense for the Pelicans was to wait to trade AD. She was letting the league know in advance of trade talks that we were in no rush to do this. So, Magic and Co. were well aware that the Pels were unmotivated to make a rushed deal for Davis before the deadline and all that "bad faith" talk is Magic trying to save face.
So we're not negotiating in good faith, but Leron can tamper with AD, and Magic can openly tamper for Ben? What did I miss?

I agree that Gayle likely signs off on everything, but I don't see her as some staunch negotiator who took the reigns of this situation. My guess the appropriate cold shoulder was administered by Demps and Loomis.
Totally agree. Just wanted to point out that a public statement was put out by her letting other teams know we were in no hurry to deal.
So, when you add it all together, we put out a public statement that we were in no rush to do a deal, next it's reported that we weren't even answering the Lakers' phone calls, then it's reported that the Pels and Lakers spoke and the Lakers were waiting on a counteroffer that never came, and, finally, Magic lets it be known that the Lakers are stepping away because they're essentially negotiating with themselves. Don't know what more we could have done to let the Lakers know we were disinterested in making a trade by the deadline. Either Magic is lying through his teeth to save face or he doesn't understand what it means to negotiate in bad faith.
I think that's where this thread misses. He wasn't complaining. The reporter asked him a very pointed and specific question and he gave a very short answer. It wasn't complaining. It was a statement answering a question. And it was true.
Maybe, but it's one of those things where simply stating a true answer serves to cover up something. He gave a short, simple answer, because it was the only answer he could give without confronting the fact that it's his own fault that he's in such a position because he engaged in bad faith from the start.
Anyone who has seen Magic interviewed on TV, or radio, or even in print, knows that he likes to talk. He loves the sound of his own voice. If he's giving short, pointed answers, it's because he feels hard-done by, and mistreated, and doesn't want to address it. If he thought the situation was fair, you'd have a 10 sentence answer.
I also LOVE the fact that we didn't negotiate in good faith. That's a badge of honor.
How is it true? I whole-heartedly disagree. The Pelicans were crystal clear in what it would take to get them to make a deal prior to the deadline. It is not negotiating in bad faith just because the other team did not get the deal they offered.
Only the Lakers assumed it was even a negotiation. When we finally did answer the phone we told them exactly what we wanted and then hung up. It was up to the Lakers to either give us what we wanted or not.
We weren't forced to trade AD and didn't want to to begin with. We were under no obligation to engage in negotiations that we wanted no part of. We did them a favor even answering the phone and giving them a price for AD.
It was Magic's own fault for trying to engage in negotiations after we were very clear on what we wanted. | c4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdsI5qsMAIzHy-N1P | Employers - The P35 deadline is fast approaching!
The P35 deadline is fast approaching, the deadline is February 15th. The deadline for an employer who pays and files electronically via Revenue Online Services (ROS) is extended to the 23rd of February.
Although PAYE Modernisation is now live, it is important for employers to remember that this end of year return is still required for the 2018 tax year. Failure to make a P35 return by this date may result in a fine.
With PAYE Modernisation, employers are required to send a real time payroll submission to Revenue each pay period. This submission is similar to the P35, and contains details of each of your employees, including PAYE, PRSI, USC and LPT. As Revenue will be receiving the periodic file submissions in real time, from 2019 onwards this end of year process for employers is no longer required. 2018 is the final year for which a P35 is required.
Please note, the deadline for issuing employees with P60s is also February 15th. Tax year 2018 is also the final year in which P60s will be issued to employees.
This year, our support team have extended and Saturday opening hours until Saturday the 16th of February 2019. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbj04eIXgu1jpDA4J | Top-Level Domain (TLD)
Definition - What does Top-Level Domain (TLD) mean?
Top-level domain (TLD) refers to the last segment of a domain name, or the part that follows immediately after the "dot" symbol. TLDs are mainly classified into two categories: generic TLDs and country-specific TLDs. Examples of some of the popular TLDs include .com, .org, .net, .gov, .biz and .edu. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), is the entity that coordinates domains and IP addresses for the internet.
Historically, TLDs represented the purpose and type of domain. ICANN has generally been very strict about opening up new TLDs, but in 2010, it decided to allow the creation of numerous new generic TLDs as well as TLDs for company-specific trademarks.
Top-level domains are also known as domain suffixes.
Techopedia explains Top-Level Domain (TLD)
A top-level domain recognizes a certain element regarding the associated website, such as its objective (business, government, education), its owner, or the geographical area from which it originated. Each TLD includes an independent registry controlled by a specific organization, which is managed under the guidance of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
ICANN recognizes the following types of TLDs:
Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLD): These are the most popular types of TDLs. Some examples include ".edu" for educational sites and ."com" for commercial sites. These types of TLDs are available for registration.
Country-Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLD): Every ccTLD recognizes a specific country and is generally two letters long. For example, the ccTLD for Australia is ".au".
Sponsored Top-Level Domains (sTLD): These TLDs are supervised by private organizations.
Infrastructure Top-Level Domains: There is only one TLD in this category, which is ".arpa". The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority controls this TLD for the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Some of the TLDs and their explanations are as follows:
.com - Commercial businesses
.org - Organizations (generally charitable)
.net - Network organizations
.gov - U.S. government agencies
.mil - Military
.edu - Educational facilities like universities
.th - Thailand
.ca - Canada
.au - Australia
According to the IETF, there are four top-level domain names that are reserved, and are not used in production networks inside the worldwide domain name system:
.example - Only available to use in examples
.invalid - Only available to use in invalid domain names
.localhost - Only available to use in local computers
.test - Only available to use in tests

BkiUc2PxK1yAgYaM2Cp4 | Oregon stormed the wine world's elite ranks in 1979, when The Eyrie Vineyards' 1975 South Block pinot noir beat out all the French Burgundies in a blind tasting at the Gault-Millau French Wine Olympiades in Paris.
The late David Lett, who founded The Eyrie Vineyards in Dundee, and other Oregon wine pioneers recognized that the state not only sits at the same latitude and shares climatic similarities with some of Europe's premier wine regions, but has its own unique microclimates, soils, and other growing conditions—terroir—suited to producing world-class wines of complex flavor and aroma.
In the years since the international wine community first sampled Oregon's potential for greatness, ever more innovative winemakers and determined farmers have toiled to cultivate a thriving wine industry in the state. Despite daunting competition from more well-established wine regions, periodic cool and wet growing seasons that hamper grape maturation and cause mildew problems, and other obstacles, wine has grown into a vital Oregon business.
Today the industry includes about 450 wineries and employs about 13,500 people in related jobs in the state, according to the Oregon Wine Board. Some 850 Oregon estate and commercial vineyards (the former have attached winery operations, while the latter strictly grow and sell wine grapes) produced a record 41,500 tons of fruit in 2011. And a whopping $2.7 billion in annual impact on the state's economy can be directly or indirectly linked to wine, according to a 2011 report by Berkeley, California–based Full Glass Research.
What's more, Oregon vintages consistently earn glowing reviews on par with those from the world's most well-known wine regions. Last year, Wine Spectator magazine rated more Oregon wines at 90 points or higher on its 100-point scale than it did those from California, Italy, France, or Australia.
Each of these facts is a meaningful arrow in the marketing quiver of Tom Danowski '83, a brand-management expert who became executive director of the Oregon Wine Board in December 2011. Danowski, who earned his undergraduate degree in advertising from the UO journalism school, served in marketing and management roles for the likes of Coca-Cola, Kraft Foods, Seattle's Best Coffee, and Chateau Ste. Michelle—the Northwest's largest wine producer—before taking on the task of extending Oregon wine's reach.
"An exceptional opportunity lies in front of the Oregon wine business for a couple of reasons," says Danowski, who occasionally lectures on brand management and business strategy at the UO's Charles H. Lundquist College of Business.
The pace at which Oregon wines have earned that distinction has accelerated in the past decade. Danowski notes that fewer than eighty Oregon wines had received the 90-plus marks by 2001; by 2011, the number had more than tripled, to 272.
Danowski says another reason to be optimistic about further growth for Oregon's wine industry is the high regard it already enjoys among wine and cuisine insiders.
With the overarching goal of boosting national and international sales, one of Danowski's priorities at the Oregon Wine Board is reaching out to wine and food media members, tourism professionals, restaurateurs and chefs, and others in the wine distribution chain. He and his staff work with winemakers and grape growers throughout the state's sixteen American viticultural areas (AVAs) to host tours that allow wine-industry influencers from around the world to "kick the dirt in our vineyards" and drink in the complete Oregon wine experience.
As for those who buy wine in the restaurant and retail marketplaces of the world, Danowski says there is an emerging level of recognition for Oregon wine but little awareness of its consistently high quality ratings.
Danowski sees his role, and the mission of the Oregon Wine Board, as "breaking the trail" for the industry and making it easy for individual wineries to follow up with their own brand-oriented marketing efforts.
While much of Oregon's existing wine cachet is built upon the success winemakers here have had with pinot noir, Danowski says that image is evolving.
"Pinot noir makes up almost 60 percent of our crop, and right behind that comes pinot gris," Danowski says. He lauds King Estate, the state's largest winery, for establishing that white varietal as another signature Oregon product.
In third place, and growing rapidly in acreage planted, is Chardonnay. Danowski says cooler-climate Oregon Chardonnays tend to contain more fruit acids, and thus offer more crispness, broader food-pairing possibilities, and sometimes greater "ageability" than their more-famous California counterparts.
With international business accounting for less than 10 percent of Oregon wine sales, global markets present vast potential. Danowski mentions Tokyo, London, and Vancouver, BC—centers of cuisine and commerce with high levels of discretionary income—as prime targets for industry outreach.
While the world's wine illuminati might be delighted by their first taste of the next great Oregon vintage, they shouldn't be surprised.
The secret, after all, was uncorked more than thirty years ago. And all signs suggest that Oregon's wine industry is improving considerably with age.
On a warm afternoon at King Estate Winery twenty miles southwest of Eugene, a black-shouldered kite glides over acres of pinot noir grapes in search of gophers. A kestrel hovers, then darts down to earth, rising back up with a mouse in its talons.
Unchecked, rodents can decimate a vineyard, but using poisons to address the problem can compromise the quality of soil and wine. To help ward off devastation to King Estate's 430,000 vulnerable vines, founder Ed King III '82 has introduced raptors to control pests on 1,033 acres of hills and wetlands.
Birds of prey are expert hunters, snatching up their targets without disturbing vines. And they're voracious: two barn owls can eat more than 1,000 rodents annually. Harnessing this natural prowess, the staff at King Estate has partnered since 2008 with Eugene's Cascades Raptor Center to introduce owls, kestrels, and red-tailed hawks as an alternative to rodenticides. On still mornings, vigilant hawks scan the scene from perches on the propellers of tall wind machines used to protect the vines from frost.
Many relationships go into a bottle of wine: grapes and yeast, winery and raptor center, vine keepers and sharp-eyed hawks that glide above the rows and rows of fruit. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

"As such, the Alive and Free brand was born from an idea that people aren't just here to work, pay bills and, eventually one day, expire; I believe we are all here for a reason, something beyond the dreaded nine to five grind.
"For those who possess that burning desire to create, learn and be engaged in all aspects of life, our clothing line is the perfect accessory."
Behind Alive and Free's unique PNW-inspired motorcycle apparel concepts, bold slogans and to-the-point marketing approach is a simple message of "Take Action," one which defines the brand beyond the confines of a simple catch phrase. Thus, the company stamps powerful messages on each piece it releases, running the gamut from "Protect Your Pack" and "Bury the Hatchet" to more sinister-esque variants such as "Never Trust a Snake" and "Can't Take Me Alive."
In the area of men's apparel, Alive and Free offers a sweeping array of hoodies, tees, canvas vests, crew socks, tank tops, hooded windbreakers and more, while for the out-of-the-ordinary ladies, the company offers sassy, figure-enhancing crop tops, crop top tees, regular tees and more. Some of the bold messaging accompanying the ladies' pieces include "In Two Wheels We Trust" on crop tops, "Alive and Free Co." on crop tops, a "Bonehead" skull graphic on tees and "In Two Wheels We Trust" on tees.
The products offered on AliveandFreeCo.com are divided into searchable categories, making it significantly easier for shoppers to find what they're looking for, even at a glance. In the website's Outerwear section, Alive and Free features its Bonehead Hoodie, Apache Pullover Hoodie, "Going Nowhere Fast" Classic Tee, "In Two Wheels We Trust" Classic Hoodie, "Never Trust a Snake" Pullover Hoodie, "Death Department" Classic Hoodie, "Never Trust a Snake" Hooded Windbreaker, "A Slave to the Wage" Hoodie, "Through Hell or Highwater" Classic Hoodie, "The Condor" Hoodie and the Bruiser Canvas Vest.

BkiUdnM5qU2Ap3wn7tEo | Louie Puroll Gets Fired for Lying
It has been a mostly hellish ride for Louie Puroll, fired last week as a range deputy by Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu for lying.
Puroll's name was unknown to most before he said a gang of drug smugglers attacked him with semiautomatic weapons April 30, 2010, in the desert between Casa Grande and Gila Bend.
Puroll's name made big news that night when Babeu spoke of the deputy's "ambush" by the smugglers in the Vekol Valley, about four miles south of Interstate 8. The 53-year-old had suffered a minor flesh wound during the attack, and the sheriff said Puroll managed to retreat to safety as he returned fire with his M-16 rifle and a handgun.
Almost everybody's first thoughts were with the deputy and how lucky he must have been to escape a potentially fatal clash relatively unscathed.
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords — shot Saturday in Tucson along with 19 others, six of whom are dead — issued a press release after the Puroll incident that summed up the mood of a majority of Arizonans.
"What will it take?" she asked. "Who else will be shot? How much more violence must we endure before the federal government secures our border? These are the questions that Arizonans are asking after [the] shooting of Deputy Puroll by suspected drug smugglers. We want answers, and we want them now."
But more questions than answers arose in the next several days, most of them directed at New Times from law enforcement sources in the Phoenix area and elsewhere: Why, they asked, hadn't Pinal County authorities been able to arrest any of the alleged shooters, and why hadn't they found any of the bales of marijuana that Puroll said the men had been toting?
More questions emerged as the Pinal County Sheriff's Office and the Arizona Department of Public Safety (which processed the crime scene) released respective investigative reports, asking why there were so few expended shell casings from bullets that possibly could have been fired at the deputy?
The story of Puroll's shooting came one week after Governor Jan Brewer's signing of Arizona Senate Bill 1070, which called for the harshest restrictions ever on illegal immigrants (the law has been challenged legally, and it remains tied up in the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.)
The deputy became a folk hero to many, both in Arizona and nationally, and a symbol of everything that's wrong about the federal government's approach to policing the border (even if the clash occurred about 85 miles north of the line).
Puroll's emotionally charged words to police dispatchers shortly after he called in to say he'd been shot — "Tell my wife I love her" — endeared him to many, including his sheriff, whose national profile increased dramatically in the aftermath. Sheriff Babeu became a mainstay on Fox News following the Puroll shooting.
New Times' initial reporting on the incident led to a May 3 blog post (four days after the shooting) in which it was noted that there was "no evidence at this point that suggests Deputy Puroll is anything but a stellar peace officer. But questions quietly have arisen among some law enforcement types about the bizarre incident in the desert."
Sheriff Babeu held a press conference in response to the post — which compared the incident to that of a Phoenix police officer who staged his own shooting ("A Shot in the Dark," March 25, 2002). The sheriff released recordings of Puroll's calls to dispatchers after the clash and gave a detailed description of the deputy's account.
"There's no doubt in my mind that this happened," the sheriff said.
A few weeks later, New Times quoted a cop familiar with details of the crime scene. "That whole scene was just not right," the officer said, adding that DPS investigators had "found zero evidence supporting [Puroll's] recollections of the incident."
Pinal County sheriff's investigators' probe into what happened in the desert was, at best, tepid. Their interview of Deputy Puroll in early May was devoid of anything approaching a hard question.
On September 23, New Times published "Pinalcchio," a lengthy examination of the Puroll shooting case. The piece raised numerous questions about his account and about the less-than-thorough investigation by his PCSO peers.
In that story, a pair of veteran forensic pathologists who, at this newspaper's request, studied photographs of Puroll's gunshot wound said it looked like a contact or near-contact wound. If true, that would have rebutted the deputy's account of getting shot from a distance.
Sheriff Babeu blasted New Times as a "conspiracy-driven" newspaper and for supposedly "hiring" the pathologists, Drs. Michael Baden and Werner Spitz — even though the experts had provided their opinions without financial compensation. But media pressure eventually forced the sheriff to order his investigators to belatedly send the bloody T-shirt worn by Puroll during the alleged shootout to the state's crime lab for examination.
In early October, Babeu convened the media in Florence to announce (live on CNN) that the lab's testing had revealed the lack of any gunshot residue on the T-shirt.
That told the sheriff, seemingly once and for all, that Puroll hadn't shot himself, even though many more questions about his truthfulness remained unanswered.
"This case is over," Babeu said, "and I think the reporter behind all this should apologize."
Deputy Puroll also spoke to the media during that news conference, showing a feisty disposition and a quick wit.
As the writer of the stories in which experts questioned his account of what had happened in the Vekol Valley, I introduced myself to the deputy after the press conference.
"So you're the one who called me a liar," he said.
We sat at a table and spoke for about a half-hour. Puroll jotted down his e-mail address and agreed to answer whatever I had to ask whenever we could work out the logistics.
A few weeks later, we met at a truck-stop restaurant off Interstate 10 near Eloy.
The interview was four hours long and covered a number of topics, the most relevant of which made it into New Times' next story on the case, "Whitewash," November 25.
In the interview, Puroll said members of infamous Mexican drug cartels had attempted to bribe him, sounding serious when he said it.
The deputy also claimed a friend of his had offered to murder me because of my less-than-favorable analysis of Puroll's account of the shooting.
I gave Puroll opportunities in the days after he made that statement to amend or retract it. But he chose not to, instead saying that his pal "probably" hadn't been serious about the apparently off-the-cuff offer to commit homicide.
The PCSO suspended the deputy shortly after the story, which prompted the 14-year department veteran's firing last week after the office's Professional Standards Bureau investigators sustained each of 10 allegations against Puroll, including that the deputy had been "untruthful."
After the firing, Sheriff Babeu said he still believes Puroll's story about getting shot by a drug smuggler in the Vekol Valley but conceded that the deputy told tall tales about the death threat and about meeting repeatedly with cartel members.
Puroll must have offended his department by lying to internal affairs investigators, since lying to a reporter may be stupid but presumably not against PCSO regulations.
The release noted that Puroll plans to contest his firing.
Under Arizona law, the agency is barred from releasing the internal affairs report authored by Detective Rob Evans until appeals are exhausted.
The Pinal County Sheriff's Office's Professional Standards Bureau sustained each of 10 allegations against Louie Puroll, including that the deputy had been "untruthful."

BkiUdbjxaKgQNLA_d2x7 | Bull season 3 episode 5 review: Who is Jackson McKay?
Bull season 3 episode 5 delivered what was an exceptional mystery about a man in Michael Harper who was accused of murder. The twist? He was a pediatrician, and he has no history or connection with the man he was spotted killing. As it turns out, he also had an alibi courtesy of his wife.
Going into the episode, the big question here is this: How could Dr. Harper be in two places at once? The obvious suggestion here was that there could be a secret twin roped in here who did the murder instead, but that seemed on the surface to be a little bit far-fetched. Yet, Bull went there, and they also figured out a way to make it work. The road to get there was powerful as we saw Dr. Harper vigorously tried to defend himself. Yet, it was hard to convince anyone to believe him when there was DNA at the scene.
That was when TAC made the enormous discovery that they did — as it turned out, Michael was adopted and to go along with that, there was someone who had the same DNA as him: A twin named Jackson McKay. The team was able to create enough reasonable doubt with this that Dr. Harper was able to avoid jail time altogether. As for the twin, it turned out that there was no real way to indict him on anything: He was dead of an overdose.
The fundamental lesson at the heart of this story was that sometimes, a fork in the road can really be just that. There were two different directions that Dr. Harper's life could have gone, but it went the direction that it did because of a great family who adopted him and tried to give him almost everything that they could. Meanwhile, his brother just fell into a bad way and never had the same support around him. Both had addictive genes, but a different support system carrying them.
Overall, Bull season 3 episode 5 proved itself to be a really fantastic standalone episode. While it didn't do a whole lot to further any long-term storylines or really even address Cable and the case last week, it did deliver an old-school case that was chock full of different twists. Also, who doesn't love an episode that gave some meaty material to some of its guest stars?

BkiUddk5qhLA7iWj66pS | Eran Creevy grew up loving movies working in his Dad's video shop, drawing comics, photocopying them and selling them to kids in his neighbourhood. He began his career in the film industry as a runner in post production and subsequently as an assistant director on a number of movies. These roles included working as a runner on films such as Layer Cake, Wimbledon, Bridget Jones 2 and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and as a set assistant for Woody Allen.
When the opportunity to direct his first music video came along Eran jumped at the opportunity resulting in This is Real, for Asher D. With Rory Aitken and Ben Pugh producing through their company Between the Eyes, Eran directed music videos for Riz MC (who as Riz Ahmed later starred in Shifty) the Ministry of Sound, the Utah Saints, and Take That among many others. Music videos led on to commercials for brands including Coca–‐Cola and Nike.
Eran, however, was obsessed with movies and focused on writing Shifty, his first screenplay which was subsequently selected for the Film London Microwave scheme. Shifty, was critically very well received and nominated for 5 British Independent Film Awards in 2008 and Eran was nominated for a BAFTA in the category of Best Debut by a British Filmmaker. Eran also won best screenplay and the bronze horse at the Stockholm Film Festival and the WGGB best screenplay by a newcomer award. Shifty played at the London Film Festival 2008 and was released theatrically in the UK by Metrodome in April 2009. Shifty has made a number of international sales including a recent sale in the US.
Eran then wrote and directed Welcome To The Punch, developing the project again with Ben Pugh and Rory Aitken of Between the Eyes. Welcome To The Punch was completed in June 2012 and has distributed by Momentum Pictures in the UK and by IFC Films in the US in March 2013. Welcome To The Punch was Executive Produced by Ridley Scott of Scott Free Films.
Eran then directed Collide in 2014 an action movie starring Nicholas Hoult, Felicty Jones, Ben Kingsley and Anthony Hopkins, the project was again produced by Ben Pugh and Rory Aitken under the new management and production company 42, and executive produced by legendary producer Joel Silver. The film was released by Open Road in the US in 2016.
Eran most recently re-wrote The Killer for John Woo, with Mark Gordon (Saving Private Ryan, Molly's Game) producing. The film is a reimagining of Woo's 1989 Hong Kong classic, set to be directed by John Woo and starring Luptia Nyong'o. Eran is also currently completing writing a sister movie to Shifty entitled The Bright Side which is set to film towards the end of this year.
I want to apply all the techniques I've learned here to the feature script I'm writing. It reminded me again of the journey I'm on. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

The kind of party that everyone wants an invite to!
We Are All Just Little Creatures is a performance celebrating all the wonderful, weird and wee things about being alive! What do we all have in common? Of course, we're all born, and we all die, but so much else that connects and divides us happens in between - this work will explore the myriad ways that human beings continually find to express their inner and outer worlds. For some it's easy to talk about what it is to be human, others need to dance or sing; some people like to be neat, others make a mess; some of us shout while others whisper, and a few will take delight in noticing the tiny details around us every day.
The audience will be invited to take a moment to contemplate, share, perhaps argue about, but ultimately celebrate the delightful diversity of our humanity through the creation of little (but big) life stories - culminating in the kind of party that everyone wants an invite to!
Curious Seed have joined forces with Lung Ha Theatre Company, in association with Lyra Young Artists to present a visually exciting and compelling ensemble production We Are All Just Little Creatures at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, and the Byre Theatre, St Andrews, in March and April 2019.
The performance will feature three professional dancers, two musicians, Lung Ha Theatre Company's full performing ensemble working together with members of Lyra's Young Artists. It will be directed by Christine Devaney, Curious Seed; Maria Oller, Lung Ha Theatre Company and Jo Timmins, Lyra.
Original music will be composed and performed by the highly talented David Paul Jones and incorporate a collaboration with artist Yvonne Buskie; and a special appearance from The Delight Collectors (members of Lyra's Young Artists).
Design is by Karen Tennent and lighting design by Simon Wilkinson, two of Scotland's most acclaimed theatre designers.

BkiUdOI5qX_Bl-uWGheo | Louise, Art and Laurie York, purchased the Mohawk Trading Post in the spring of 1985. The immediate plan was to change the general theme of the store from just gifts and Mohawk Trail souvenirs to a Native American Specialty Store that would feature items that were authentically Native American made. It was a struggle at first, but as the years passed, we found sources for not only Native made products, but also locating suppliers for books and music with an emphasis on Northeastern tribes. It has been well worth the effort and we have enjoyed meeting and learning from some wonderful Native friends.
It was through my hobby of genealogy (and DNA research) that I found Mom and I are of Native descent. It was a most pleasant surprise!
Art (my Dad) passed on in 2002 and Louise (my Mom) passed away in 2012.
In early 2013 I met Thomas Risse and we were married in February of 2014. I am now "trying" to transition into semi-retirement, and the thought of it is very appealing!
I want to thank all of our great friends and patrons who helped make, and continue to make, the Mohawk Trading Post what it is today, and to come.
Martha, the new store manager, is taking on the day to day tasks. She is still always keeping her eyes out for new and interesting products. The store will continue to provide our customers with the experience they have come to love. Martha is always willing to listen to ideas and suggestions that folks may have to offer.

This paper quantifies the accuracy, precision and power of RCA benthic composition data, to guide its application and interpretation. A simulation study established that the inherent accuracy of the Reef Check point sampling protocol is high (<+/- 17% error absolute), in the range of estimates of benthic cover from 1% to 50%. A field study at three reef sites indicated that, despite minor observer and deployment-related biases, the protocol does reliably document moderate ecological changes in coral communities.

With Zoellick Gone from the State Department, White House Urged to Appoint Special Envoy on Darfur
Former White House Advisor Michael Gerson Suggested as Top Choice for Envoy
WASHINGTON, June 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- The State Department announced this morning that Deputy Secretary of State Robert B. Zoellick is stepping down from his post, where he has been instrumental in driving the Bush administration's efforts to stop an ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
The Genocide Intervention Network today acknowledges the deputy secretary's progress on the issue, and urges the White House to appoint a special envoy for Darfur to fill the void left by Zoellick's departure. On June 5, GI-Net joined seven other humanitarian and human rights organizations in calling for the establishment of a high-level envoy.
In particular, GI-Net urges President Bush to strongly consider appointing White House advisor Michael Gerson, a skilled negotiator for peace in both Khartoum and Washington, who will soon be leaving his post.
"Human security in Darfur can only be fulfilled if the United States and the international community puts all possible diplomatic pressure on the government of Sudan to accept the UN peacekeeping force without delay," says GI-Net Executive Director Mark Hanis. "Appointing Michael Gerson as a special envoy will send a powerful message that the Bush administration is committed to seeing the promises of the Darfur Peace Agreement translated into civilian protection on the ground."
Zoellick, who was called by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice "indispensable in our efforts to bring peace to Sudan and to end the violence in Darfur," was instrumental in securing the peace agreement on May 5. According to The New York Times, during a trip to a refugee camp in 2005, Zoellick wore a bracelet with the motto "Not on our watch." With his departure, the White House must commit itself to ensuring the agreement's provisions are carried out, GI-Net argues.
Michael Gerson, Bush's chief speechwriter and one of the "25 most influential evangelicals in America," according to Time magazine, has been a notable force within the White House for strong involvement in Darfur. Many credit Gerson as the primary influence behind Bush's declaration of support for peacekeepers in Darfur and NATO involvement in February.
"Michael Gerson has been a powerful ally to the people of Darfur, who are calling on the international community to protect them from the government-sponsored Janjaweed militias," GI-Net Director of Advocacy Sam Bell says. "His appointment would truly signal that the White House will not tolerate genocide continuing on their watch."
The Genocide Intervention Network works to mobilize an anti-genocide constituency in the United States and Canada to raise the costs for inaction by politicians in the face of genocide. Accessible online at www.GenocideIntervention.net, GI-Net empowers its members with the tools to support initiatives that prevent and stop genocidal violence, in particular by protecting civilians in Darfur, Sudan. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 4 | 1 |

AGL is confident that it has sufficient gas for its residential and small business customers following the recent contract with the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture and the planned expansion of the Eastern Gas Pipeline. Incremental future gas requirements are likely to be sourced from the southern markets.
AGL expects to recognise an impairment charge of $640 million after tax ($795 million pre-tax) against the carrying value of its gas exploration and production assets including an increase in rehabilitation provisions. This charge will be recognised as a significant item in the financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2015. The impairment has minimal impact on FY16 Underlying profit.

BkiUdVs5qoYA4kbtG6sR | ← Frequently Asked Questions: What is the difference between x-rays, MRI, and CT scan?
Frequently Asked Questions: What is an EMG or NCS?
Electrodiagnostic studies include electromyography (EMG); nerve conduction studies (NCS); and evoked potentials (EP). Like imaging studies, these studies cannot confirm the presence or absence of pain. They are most useful in evaluating a patient when pain is present with an observed neurological deficit.
Electromyography (EMG) is the most commonly used test to assess the function of the nerve roots leaving the spine. The test is done by inserting tiny electrodes into the muscles of the arm or leg. By looking for abnormal electrical signals in the muscles, the EMG reveals nerve irritation, or pinching of the nerve, as it leaves the spinal canal.
Think of how you test the wiring on a lamp. If you place a working bulb into the lamp, and the bulb lights up, you assume that the wiring is okay. However, what if the bulb does not light up? You may safely assume that something is probably wrong with the wiring, like the lamp is unplugged, or a short circuit has occurred. By relating the muscles to the light bulb in the lamp, the EMG is able to determine the condition of the nerves that supply those muscles, like the wiring on the lamp. If the EMG machine finds that the muscles (the light bulb) are not working properly, the doctor may assume that the nerves (the wiring) must be irritated or pinched somewhere. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbZ45qsBB3TGfaO-b | Beets are full of nutrients and especially a phytonutrient called betanin. Betanin is a phytonutrient that is helpful for inflammation and detoxification, plus it is an antioxidant. Beets contain vitamin C, magnesium and vitamin B folate. They are also full of fiber. So as you can see, beets are a very healthy food to add to your diet.
Here are a few more good reasons for including beets in your diet.
They help detox the body.
One of the most outstanding qualities of beets is its ability to help the body's betaine stay intact. The liver cells need betaine for getting rid of toxins. Betaine not only protects the bile ducts but it helps ensure that the liver is functioning properly by thinning the bile, thereby allowing it to flow easily to the liver and all the way to the small intestine.
Thereby, the body is ridding itself of toxins more easily and 'detoxing' the body in the process.
They help lessen tumor cell growth.
Studies conducted on tumor cells showed that betanin pigments have the ability to lessen the growth of tumor cells which is done by inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes.
The studies were conducted on many types of tumor cells. These included cells such as those that grow in the stomach, nerves, lungs, testicles, prostate and breasts. Experts are already looking at the possibility that the betanin content of beets can be beneficial for preventing. And it can be useful in treating different types of cancer.
A study was conducted back in 2000. It showed that the fiber content of beets works effectively in increasing the levels of good HDL cholesterol levels. Meanwhile it also is effective at lowering bad LDL cholesterol levels. Additionally, the fiber in beets helps reduce cholesterol plaques by as much as 30% and prevents the plaques from building up in the aorta.
They help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Beets have low calories and zero fats and are a low GI food. Thus preventing sugar spikes and keeping blood sugar levels stable.
As mentioned earlier, beets contain magnesium which is important for building healthy bones and preventing bone loss. Magnesium plays a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the body. There is also vitamin C, copper and manganese.
Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen. The collagen helps maintain healthy cartilage and bones. Meanwhile manganese is needed for the synthesis of those connective tissues found in bones and cartilage.
Copper serves as an active enzyme in the production of tissue proteins, elastin and collagen. All these are essential for bone development and maintenance.
They help ensure a healthy pregnancy.
They are rich sources of vitamins A, B and C. So they also serve as powerhouses of phosphorous, fiber, potassium, beta-cyanine, magnesium, iron and folic acid.
These are just some of the reasons why pregnant women should include them in their diet. They contain nutrients that are crucial for the development of new growth cells. And a woman's needs for iron alone doubles when she is pregnant. This is one more way to improve odds of a safe pregnancy.
Therefore, eating beets helps ensure that the hemoglobin carries oxygen to the placenta and other parts of the body. Not bad for a great tasting vegetable!
An added benefit is that you can eat its roots, stems and leaves which are all packed with vitamins and minerals. You don't just use a part of it, you can use the whole lot!

BkiUbbQ4dbjiVEKCInRa | Q: check f:items value based on p:selectManyCheckbox using javascript I would like to know how to check f:items value based on p:selectManyCheckbox using javascript.
What I did is
Xhtml
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox itemLabel="Select All" onchange="changeSelectAllStatus(this);"
value="#{myBean.selectAllStatus}"
id="selectAllStatus" style="margin-left:4px;" >
</p:selectBooleanCheckbox>
<p:selectManyCheckbox onchange="changeServiceStatus(this);"
styleClass="servicestatusstyle"
value="#{myBean.serviceStatusFilterList}"
layout="pageDirection" id="empListSub">
<f:param name="tabValue" value="1" />
<f:selectItems value="#{myBean.serviceStatusList}" var="status"
itemLabel="#{status.title}" itemValue="#{status.id}"/>
</p:selectManyCheckbox>
The generated html is
Javascript
function changeSelectAllStatus(element)
{
var selectAll = element.checked;
var serviceStatusChildNodes = document.getElementById("accord:empListSub").getElementsByTagName('input');
for ( var i in serviceStatusChildNodes ) {
if ( serviceStatusChildNodes[i].type=='checkbox' ) {
serviceStatusChildNodes[i].checked = selectAll;
}
}
if(selectAll)
{
selectAllStatusArray = selectAll;
}
else
{
selectAllStatusArray = selectAll;
}
}
My problen is when 'select all' is checked,the f:items checked values are being set as true but in user interface it is not being checked.
Can anybody point out where have i gone wrong?
A: Simply you can do this:
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox itemLabel="Check All"
widgetVar="checkAllWV"
onchange="selectAllCheckBoxes(PF('manyCheckWV'))">
</p:selectBooleanCheckbox>
<p:selectManyCheckbox widgetVar="manyCheckWV">
<f:selectItems value="#{mainBean.list}"/>
</p:selectManyCheckbox>
The onchange of the booleanCheckbox would control the manyCheckbox values.
Now the change event
function selectAllCheckBoxes(manyCheckBoxes) {
manyCheckBoxes.inputs.each(function() {
if(PF('checkAllWV').isChecked()) {
$(this).prop('checked', false)
PF('checkAllWV').jq.find('.ui-chkbox-label').text('Uncheck all')
} else {
$(this).prop('checked', true)
PF('checkAllWV').jq.find('.ui-chkbox-label').text('Check all')
}
$(this).trigger('click');
})
}

BkiUfwU5qhDCgpdHtRmx | Mental health experts weigh in on how to cope with fear and anxiety amid COVID-19 outbreak
by: Cameron Norwood
ODESSA, Texas (YourBasin) – COVID-19 continues to spark fear across the country, and as the virus spreads, it is easy to become overwhelmed and overlook your mental health. Mental health experts recommend staying away from misinformation often found on social media.
The Centers for Disease Control suggests that if you are feeling symptoms of COVID-19, that you self quarantine. People who suffer from anxiety and other mental health issues could be significantly impacted and feel isolated. Dr. Bobby Jain says this could cause mental health to worsen for some.
"Isolation is the biggest enemy for mental illness," Jain says. "This would be a good time to reach out to friends, watch movies with family, come up with a project. It would be a good way to reconnect with family."
When it comes to anxiety surrounding COVID-19, children are especially affected. Child and Adolescent psychiatrist, Dr. Muhammad Khalid Zefar says when a child is suffering from anxiety or depression, they may become irritable and angry, or they might miss out on sleeping or eating properly.
Zefar suggests the best way to prevent stress or anxiety in a child is psycho-education.
If you are feeling stress or anxiety related to COVID-19, Texas Tech Physicians of the Permian Basin is hosting an educational chatroom designed to teach coping skills. For more information, you can contact Chang Liu at chang.a.liu@ttuhsc.edu

BkiUay7xK1yAga6Jprn_ | Et tu, Brute? In the waning days of the Bush Administration, Justice Department lawyers have filed a curious amicus brief in the DC gun ban case before the US Supreme Court. The attorneys took a middle-of-the-road approach to Second Amendment freedoms. They argued that gun ownership is not a "fundamental" right. Instead, they say, it is a right deserving only an "intermediate" level of protection.
The brief is a disappointing about face for a Justice Department once lauded for its ardent defense of Second Amendment rights.
Attorney General Michael Mukasey owes gun owners an explanation for this late betrayal.
In a recent Townhall.com column, former National Rifle Association president Sandy Froman protested the Justice Department's misguided action. She correctly explains the government's position includes only halfhearted support for the Second Amendment. If the Supreme Court were to adopt the Department's position, it would imperil our civil right to keep and bear arms.
It appears that the Justice Department is trying to say this is a right that should be protected, but the level of protection should be low enough to allow government to broadly restrict or maybe even eliminate your ability to exercise that right. They try to split the baby of having a right but letting government do almost whatever it wants to that right.
The problem with splitting a baby in half is that the baby usually dies. If our rights can be regulated to the point that we can't exercise them in our own homes, then they've been regulated out of existence.
The Left refers to racial equality and voting as "civil rights." But, civil rights are broader than that. Our civil rights are all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence tells us that government exists to protect our God-given rights, and the Constitution created our court system where those rights are vindicated.
There are three civil rights for which any attempted regulation should be looked at with great suspicion. They are religious liberty, political free speech, and the right to keep and bear arms.
Our country was founded by pilgrims seeking the religious freedom to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience, free from government dictates. The highest promise of free speech is that we may openly discuss the public issues of the day free of censorship or threat, so that we can hold our elected leaders accountable and replace those whom we learn have failed to keep our trust.
And the right to keep and bear arms was put there so that we could defend ourselves and our loved ones, provide for ourselves, and have a last resort to defend freedom.
Laws curtailing any of those three rights should be looked at with the most skeptical and doubting eye, and we ought not to allow such laws to go further than necessary to achieve extremely important objectives. For example, as important as free speech is, it's clear why the government must be able to stop television reporters from showing maps of troop locations and movements in overseas operations. Narrow rules are allowed where such life-and-death matters are at stake.
But our civil rights can only be regulated in that minimal fashion, and only when absolutely essential. We never sacrifice our liberty.
Yet in the face of all that, the city of DC has a gun ban that forbids having a handgun or any loaded rifle or shotgun anywhere in your home. If you do, you'll do more than pay a fine. You'll go to jail.
This law plainly violates the Second Amendment, and ought to be struck down. A federal appeals court did just that, and now the Supreme Court has taken the case.
My parents loved me too much to encourage me to go to law school, so I'm not a lawyer. But I have gotten solid information from some good lawyers at the American Civil Rights Union, in addition to legal perspective, from a couple of the best Supreme Court lawyers in the country.
They are gravely concerned about the Justice Department brief in the Heller case, saying that this could be a Trojan horse in the Second Amendment. They say that for various legal reasons if the Supreme Court were to adopt the position in this brief it would be toxic for gun rights in America. This lawsuit could go either way off the brief's argument, but future challenges to firearm restrictions—no matter how severe—would likely fail.
This brief was a terrible mistake. Hopefully the lawyers in this case can persuade the Supreme Court to reject that argument, and give our Second Amendment civil rights the robust protection they deserve. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUfJPxaKgQSxpOPPmH | England colleagues left with alarming belief about Kane, Tottenham plan – report
The England team-mates of captain Harry Kane reportedly sense that he may not show up to pre-season in a bid to seek a transfer away from Tottenham.
Kane's future started to boil up as one of the hottest topics of the summer window before the European Championships. In fact, he reportedly told Spurs that he wants to leave, but stay in the Premier League. During Euro 2020, talk of his plans went quiet as the Three Lions went all the way to the final.
However, his potential career turn has come back into view after England's agonising loss to Italy. New boss Nuno Espirito Santo has firmly insisted that Kane remains a Tottenham player.
According to The Telegraph, though, the striker's England team-mates left the Three Lions' camp with a belief that Kane has a plan up his sleeve.
England stars reportedly believe that the 27-year-old may not report to pre-season training in a bid to force a move.
Manchester City have shown the most willingness so far to fund what would be a British record transfer. Indeed, the newspaper says that they are actively communicating their willingness to make an opening £100million bid.
Kane reportedly wants the move to City, having talked up a link-up with Kevin de Bruyne earlier this year.
What's more, the forward supposedly believes he has a gentleman's agreement with Tottenham. That would involve, if it comes to light, Spurs listening to bids for him.
But if chairman Daniel Levy refuses to budge on Kane's exit, he could refuse to take part in pre-season. That could prompt a stand-off between the player and chief.
If he did refuse to take part in training, the situation would mirror how Gareth Bale forced his transfer to Real Madrid in 2013.
Kane is in the first week of his three weeks' holiday after Euro 2020. As such, he will not play a part in much of Spurs' preparations.
Nuno wards off Kane transfer
Speaking in a press conference on Friday, Spurs manager Nuno said: "Harry is our player. That is period. No need to talk about anything else.
"Now is the moment for Harry to recover his energy and when Harry comes again we will have time to speak and have good conversations.
"I am looking forward to him joining the group and start working together. I am excited to work with all the players, Harry is a top player. Harry is one of the best players in the world, that is all there is to say."

Hospitals ask for support from local people as they respond to covid-19
January 7, 2021 | By Web Team |
Now that our hospitals are seeing the impact of the rising rate of coronavirus infection over the last two weeks, health and care professionals in Cornwall are urging local people to support them by keeping to national restrictions and social distancing, to help reduce the virus spreading.
The number of patients in Cornwall's acute hospitals with a covid positive diagnosis has more than doubled since the end of December and very sadly 18 people have died over the two weeks.
"It is clear that we are not going to hold onto the relatively low levels of infection we have experienced in Cornwall so far," said RCHT's Medical Director, Dr Allister Grant.
"We are starting to see more poorly people and are already changing the way we use parts of the hospital. Our local population can really help by doing everything they can to bring down the rate of infection; stay at home and avoid contact with people outside of your household or social bubble."
The increase in patients with covid-19 will mean changes to routine appointments for some patients. Many are already benefiting from virtual outpatient clinics, either by telephone or online, reducing the number of people who need to come into the hospitals.
"We recognise making any change to planned appointments is really difficult for patients and it is not a decision we ever take lightly. However, we hope they will understand the need for our staff and our hospitals to focus on the care of those most seriously ill with covid or other emergency conditions," adds Allister.
"Where we do need to postpone appointments or surgery our clinicians will be reviewing patients on a case by case basis and we will contact everyone individually. Otherwise people should continue to attend as planned, following the guidance in their appointment letter."
The hospitals are on standby to respond to an increasing number of people with covid-19 needing their care. Kim O'Keeffe, Interim Director Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions for Royal Cornwall Hospitals and Cornwall Partnership Foundation Trusts, said: "We are acting as one nursing and care community, to work flexibly and keep patients safe. We've already had some great examples where staff have moved to other locations to increase community hospital and even care home capacity. We are also preparing staff to be redeployed into different roles to support frontline services, should the need arise."
Doctors are keen to stress they are still here for people with urgent conditions not related to covid-19. Director of Cancer Services, Dr Bryson Pottinger said,
"We were all really concerned during the first lockdown that we weren't seeing the usual number of referrals, not only cancer patients, but other urgent conditions. If anyone is concerned about symptoms, they shouldn't put off making an appointment with their GP; we'll still be here at the hospitals to provide diagnostic care and treatment."
For those needing urgent but not emergency care, they should continue to call their GP, or outside of surgery hours contact the 111 services either online www.nhs.uk/111 or by calling 111. Anyone with symptoms of covid-19 should go online or call 119.

BkiUdwc4eIXgu4C77iSA | Beyond The Plate: Will Robots Change the Restaurant Industry Forever?
Find out how advancing technology could impact the food service world
by Jodi Helmer from Food Fanatics Magazine
If you're curious how advances in AI and robotics might fundamentally transform the restaurant industry, consider what happened at a CaliBurger location in Pasadena last summer.
In the restaurant's kitchen, a machine named Flippy—using thermal sensors, cameras and special attachments—cooked a hamburger almost entirely by itself. First, a cook placed an uncooked burger onto a grill. Flippy flipped it over as it monitored its internal temperature, and then alerted one of its human "assistants" it was time to apply a slice of cheese and send it on its way.
"We wanted to show that it's possible to leverage technology to leave the dull, dirty work (in restaurant kitchens) to robots and free up chefs to work on tasks that improve the dining experience," says David Zito, CEO of Miso Robotics, the California startup that created Flippy.
But this is about more than just flipping burgers. Restaurants are beginning to use robots to measure ingredients, toss salads and spread marinara sauce on pizza dough in hopes of cutting costs and creating backof-the-house efficiencies.
Thanks to the growing interest in everything from driverless cars and drone deliveries to cashless operations and selfordering kiosks, it seems almost inevitable that robots will impact foodservice as well.
Deepak Sekar, founder and CEO of Chowbotics, the San Francisco startup that created a salad robot, believes that food will be at the heart of the next industrial revolution. "Today, several industries have become more efficient by using automation. One of the last major industries that has not seen these improvements is foodservice," he says.
The question being pondered now is just how much help—if any—tomorrow's kitchen robots will need from their human sous chefs.
Evaluating the Impact
Contrary to the media hype on robots replacing humans, only a handful of operators are using advanced automation in their kitchens. Typically, they're small pilot projects used to test feasibility, often for food prep.
Chowbotics started taking pre-orders for its salad robot this spring; Miso Robotics went back to the lab to tweak Flippy after its proof-of-concept shift at CaliBurger and is targeting 2018 for its commercial rollout. Meanwhile, startup companies like Zume Pizza are testing robots in single-unit restaurants while Eatsa, a self-ordering, automat-like fast-casual quinoa bowl concept, has been tweaking its menu.
"There are certain less-skilled tasks in the kitchen that have to be done to prep for service and that kind of repetitive prep work can be taken over by machines," says Karen Malody of Culinary Options, Oregon. But Malody questions whether a surge of fully automatic innovations will occur soon.
Instead, Malody envisions more "corobotic" partnerships where kitchen staff work side-by-side with robots.
A recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute supports that idea, noting that less than 5 percent of occupations could be fully automated using current technologies, but almost every occupation has the potential to be partially automated. Even partial automation, the report notes, could save almost $15 trillion in wages.
Still, Sekar believes widespread adoption of robotics in foodservice is not far off. "In the next five years," he says, "we expect many foodservice establishments to begin using robots to make their operations more efficient."
Chowbotics' robot makes salads to order.
Change Comes at a Cost
Current robotic innovations tend to focus on completing specific tasks, such as making a salad or flipping burgers. The singular focus of these machines means operators would need to invest in multiple pieces of equipment to automate the entire kitchen.
Though companies declined to provide specifics about the costs of their robots, Malody estimates the innovations price tags are upwards of $30,000.
"You need enough capital to invest in this kind of technology," notes Malody. "But if you have a high-volume business, you could see a return on investment very quickly, especially in the back of the house where robots can improve speed and efficiency."
It's not just the cost that needs to be considered. Robots won't need breaksor have to call in sick, but Zito admits software malfunctions and repairs might be needed. He estimates it will take
years before foodservice robots are 100 percent reliable.
Embracing Low Tech Where It Counts
Research shows that online reservations, remote ordering, mobile payment processing, ordering kiosks and email receipts are top priorities for customers. A National Restaurant Association report found that 80 percent of operators agreed that technology gave their restaurant a competitive edge, made operations more productive and helped increase sales.
"Because wages are rising so fast, there is a lot of pressure on fast-casual restaurants to automate the customer experience," says Anil Bathwal, who opened The Kati Roll Company in 2002. Bathwal has used technology to track revenue and expenses, while also adding online ordering and selforder kiosks. "If the restaurant can run better through technology, it makes sense to adopt it."
But Bathwal's street food concept is more complex than tossing a salad or flipping a burger, leading him to believe that robots wouldn't have a place in his kitchens.
"We'll need to use some automation for scale, but our entire concept is based on making our food by hand," he says.
Even if robots become standard in the back of the house, Zito believes restaurants will always need talented staff in the kitchen to experiment with new ingredients, create menus and taste dishes—at least in the foreseeable future.
"With AI, the hype is so far ahead of the technology," he says.

Convocation ceremony: 'The world is a battlefield...we must prepare well'
Senator Jehangir Badar receives PhD in Pakistan studies.
Our Correspondent December 29, 2013
LAHORE:
Pakistan's GDP stands at $250 billion but it spends less than $5 billion on education and only 0.1 to 0.2 per cent of its GDP is spent on research and development...that is deplorable, Punjab University Vice Chancellor Mujahid Kamran said on the occasion of the PU's 122nd convocation at Faisal Auditorium on Saturday.
Kamran said most countries spent an average of five per cent of their GDP on education, while Pakistan spent less than two per cent. Of America's $14 trillion GDP, it spent $980 billion on education and a significant amount on research and development. Only countries that focused on creating and promoting knowledge progressed, said Kamran. "The world is a battlefield ... we must use all our resources and abilities to defend ourselves in it," he said.
The vice chancellor said 750 verses in the Holy Quran stressed deliberation on the natural phenomena and 250 dealt with legislation. "A silent genocide of Muslims is taking place," he said. Australian scientist and researcher Gideon Polya's book Body Count revealed that of the 1.3 billion avoidable deaths during 1950 and 2005, 600 million had been Muslims, said Kamran.
Muslims faced a plethora of problems because of their lack of interest in knowledge creation, he said.
He warned that India, Israel and the USA were trying to destabilise Pakistan. "Power is essential for survival in this world and knowledge is the source of all power," the vice chancellor said. No country can hope to become powerful unless its people display strength of character and honesty in daily affairs, he said.
"Pakistan's only collective achievement has been the making of the atomic bomb," said Kamran. This was only possible due to the honest collective efforts of politicians, the army, the bureaucracy and the extraordinary efforts of Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, he said. Even though Pakistan does not have a lot of scientists, "we have still managed to produce some of the best missiles...proving that we can achieve anything if we are determined," he said.
Kamran said, "Some of us are not aware of their own talents or lack confidence in themselves...but our enemies are aware of them."
The vice chancellor congratulated the outgoing class and encouraged the graduates to serve the country and mankind to the best of their abilities. As many as 180 doctoral candidates received their degrees this year. 390 MPhil/MS, 343 master's, 181 undergraduate degrees and 162 medals were distributed among students. As many as 75 medals were distributed among undergraduate students and 87 medals were distributed among master's students.
Examinations Controller Prof Dr Liaqat Ali, Registrar Prof Dr Khan Ross Masood, Faculty of Science Dean Khawaja Haris Rashid, Acting Treasurer Rao Sharif, heads of various departments and students and their parents were present on the occasion.
Senator Badar receives his PhD
Pakistan Peoples Party's Jahangir Badar received his PhD degree in Pakistan studies. He is South Asia's first serving parliamentarian to complete a PhD. His doctoral thesis was on Political Leadership in Pakistan: A Case Study of Benazir Bhutto.

BkiUdoU5qX_BrrvEBgDQ | Where does my property go on my death?
Gordon VanderLeek
Today, let's discuss the concept of "flow analysis". In the context of estate planning, we are asking the question: Where does my property go when I pass away? Sometimes the destination may not be what you expect or want. I see that most frequently with beneficiary designations done badly.
Jointly owned property has with it the concept of a right of survivorship. A surviving joint owner (in the case of 2 people on title) will be the sole owner of the property on the death of the other owner.
A proper estate plan means a flow analysis has been completed.
It's not that hard to do. The cost of not doing it could be significant in terms of tax paid verses saved, who is controlling the property in question and, more importantly, your wishes not being carried out.
In meetings with clients, I often use the analogy of buckets.
Think of a regular bucket with a handle, the kind you may have in your utility closet or garage. For most persons, there are two buckets (for more complicated estates, there might be more than two, but for purposes of this discussion let's consider a more typical scenario). One would be "inside" the estate and the other is "outside".
Let's use the example of planning for Mom's estate (let's call her Mary; she is widowed) and Mary has 3 adult children, one of which has a long-term disability. Let's call that person Johnny. He is 35 and lives with his mother in the home he grew up in.
Johnny will require a trust which will be for his lifetime. He can't just receive a larger amount of money because his disability prevents him from being able to understand finances or make appropriate decisions about investing the funds or when and how to use money from the trust. Johnny's disability is not so severe that he can't function (with supports) in the community. He goes out with friends and has a part-time job that he gets to on local transit. But Mary is concerned that he would be vulnerable regarding his funds. He has a big heart and will give money to anyone who asks.
Mary has designated her RRSP to go to Johnny. She heard there may be some tax benefits in doing this. She has her main checking and savings account in the name of her daughter who helps her with financial decisions (the bank told her this would makes things easier).
Mary wants her estate divided equally between her 3 children. In her Will she has a lifetime trust for Johnny (sometimes referred to as a "Henson Trust"). Then, Johnny's two siblings get their share of the estate as an outright gift (that is, no trust).
Let's do a "flow analysis" for Mary.
The first question is "what is INSIDE the estate"? Well, that would be her house (which is in her name alone). The next question is "what is OUTSIDE the estate"? That would be the bank accounts and the RRSP.
What we can conclude is that the estate won't be divided equally as Mary intends. On Mary's death, the RRSP goes to Johnny directly and will not be part of his trust. This is due to the beneficiary designation in the RRSP. It does not matter what Mary's will said; the designation will govern. On top of that, the accountant advises that the RRSP will go to Johnny but the tax arising from the deemed disposition on Mary's death will be paid from the estate.
Note that Johnny is living in the house and wants to stay there. But there are no other assets in the estate to pay the tax. There is discussion about putting a line of credit on the house to pay the taxes.
The bank accounts will go to Mary's daughter who is listed as a joint owner on the accounts with the bank. On the assumption the bank will treat the accounts as a true joint account, the end result is that they go to the daughter as the surviving joint owner. Now, maybe the daughter shares these accounts with her siblings...but maybe she does not. She hints that this was Mom's way of paying her back for all the time spent helping Mom over the years and Mom intended her to have these accounts and not share them. She recalls that being discussed with the banker. She does not think this money should be used to pay for the funeral or the tax from the RRSP.
So, the recommendations to Mary would be to change the beneficiary designation to "the estate" so there is money to pay for the taxes and the funeral. What is left over can be divided equally and Johnny's share will form part of his Henson Trust. This will ensure he also stays on government supports (AISH).
A further option would be to take Mary's daughter off the accounts and grant her a Power of Attorney to help manage the finances. This would allow the money to be controlled by the executor and distributed in accordance with her last Will, which is the preferred result. If Mary wishes not to change the banking arrangement, the daughter and her could put the understanding in writing that the daughter will use those funds as estate assets and distribute in accordance with the terms of Mary's last will. In other words, the daughter confirms that the funds are not hers alone. Mary could consider compensating her daughter for time spent or, alternatively, leave an appropriate gift to that daughter in her Will.
With some simple planning, an unintended result can be avoided with some simple planning steps. As well, the threat of the litigation and the costs together with the delays of going to court can be avoided (with the attendant rift between the kids). Johnny can be assured a secure financial future and his government supports would continue. But this all requires Mary to do the fact finding of how her bank accounts are set up and what the beneficiary designations state.
Check your beneficiary designations for RRSP/RIFs, Tax Free Savings Accounts and life insurance policies so you have the facts to complete the flow analysis to ensure your property flows where it is supposed to on your death.

BkiUd4nxK6Ot9WA5iIYZ | Q: Why this div goes over its parent when i apply a padding left or right on it? This is the second issue i have on the right side of a container using the very usefull twitter-bootstrap, but this time, i have been able to reproduce it on jsFiddle!
Here is the link, as you can see in the CSS window, i apply a padding-left and a padding-right on a div, the left one make the div going over its parent on the right side, and if i only apply a padding-right, i get the same.
I can't understand this behavior and this is probably the same issue i meet on another project, how to avoid that ?
A: Here is a working example
All you have to do is specify a width. I've added a border just to see the div.
#child {
width: auto;
border: 1px solid red;
padding-left: 50px;
padding-right: 50px;
}
A: The behavior you're observing stems from two facts: first, that the Bootstrap rows are set to width: 100%. Second, that they use the default box-sizing value, content-box.
Box-sizing is the property that determines how the width of a block element is calculated. When it's set to content-box, it only factors in the width of the content, and not the margin, padding, or border. What follows is that the padding you're setting is adding to the total width, making it greater than 100%, and making it jut out beyond the parent.
For the behavior you want set the box-sizing to padding-box. This causes the calculated width of the element to include the padding.
View it on JSFiddle
#child {
...
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; /* Safari/Chrome, other WebKit */
-moz-box-sizing: border-box; /* Firefox, other Gecko */
box-sizing: border-box;
}
For more on the box-sizing attribute, I recommend two great CSS resources: Chris Coyier's CSS Tricks and the MDN.

BkiUd3E4eIZjv1U1FawD | In recent years the casino scene has really taken off. A number of large resorts have been built in the Vegas style with all the bells and whistles. Portugal has long been a very popular tourist destination and it may not be common knowledge but the gambling tourist can be added to the mix. The country has been struggling much the same as the rest of Southern Europe for the last few years but it looks to of maybe turned a corner. A big boost to the county's soul came in the summer of 2016, when the national team won the UEFA Euro 2016 Championship. Football is as close to a religion here as it will ever be. Casinos have been a part of the Portuguese costal resorts since the 1930's. They have some of the largest resort complexes in Europe and they are all situated in some very nice surroundings. Sea, sun and sand during the day then casino games till the early morning not much better than that. The Portuguese are not obsessive when it comes to gambling however the casinos are only open 12 hours a day.
It may come as a surprise but online casinos have only just been legalized in Portugal. April 2015 saw the new law come into being. It was perfectly OK to visit foreign online casinos before the law came about. There was no enforcement, no sites blocked but no tax revenue either. Finally the reality set in and bingo now the cash cow gets milked. The tax obligations involved in having a Portuguese license are very high. All of a sudden now there is scrutiny how enforcement will actually be carried out is not clear yet its early days. As things stand the only license issued for online casino games is to Casino Estoril Sol the largest operator of land based casinos in Portugal. So the best online casino Portugal is a choice of one. This is not a review in any way but the site has very little to offer. It is set up well but the number of games is frankly laughable. So the reality is that the online casino scene in Portugal has taken a very large step backwards. Before the industry was legalized you were able to access any online casino you wanted and the authorities did nothing. Now it's legal but you are not allowed to access the rest of the world's offerings, sound right to you? Nah didn't think so.
If no other operators apply for licenses in Portugal the authorities are going to be busy trying to block offshore brands. Players are simply not going to be impressed with the legal offering. I mean please the last count was 18 slots games on Estoril Sol's site, one blackjack and four versions of Roulette. We are talking 1990's selection here. Come on Portugal what's going on? So in fact for now the best Portuguese online casino will probably be from the UK. So if you live in Portugal and want to play the latest casino games you will have to break the law. Whether you will actually be the one chased or not is a little unclear. It would pay to get legal clarification from a local lawyer. If you are going to go for the off shore brands there are still a few thing to look out for.
Not usually a piece of advice most people would love to be there. But when it comes to regulating online casinos they do not have a great track record. The former Dutch Antilles island of Curacao is a good example. They issues licenses but they will give one to anybody with the money. All they are is a registration of business. There is no regulation or enforcement of rules because there are none. You can't even contact them. So avoid online casinos with licenses from them it's safer that way. Malta, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man are the ones to look for from Europe. The UK Gambling Commission is the best but only deals with UK residents so will have another license for the rest of the world.
European facing online casinos have the best choice when it comes depositing. Third party payment methods are rapidly becoming the most popular. They are safe and secure and you don't need to be giving out your credit details every time you fund your account. When it comes to security every page you visit should be covered by the latest SSL Encryption protocols. The prefix https and the padlock icon in the address bar must be there on every page. Certification from independent online security experts is very desirable and is fast becoming the norm. Look for logos from Thwates or Digicert or some such company. A quick online search will help identify an unknown.
Of course you want to be playing in your own language. That goes without saying and all of the top European online casinos have Portuguese platforms. A few good South American ones do as well. What you will need to check before committing is the customer service team. It's all well and good playing at a site with the same language platform but do the CSA's speak your tongue fluently? You don't want to have an issue you can't sort because nobody understands you. Ask a few good questions it's a good move anyway to see how they treat you and what the response time is. Check out a few forums it is a wise person that keeps their finger on the pulse. You will find out the good and the bad. A great bonus will very quickly get some attention. On the flip side a casino that has not paid out or looks like it's in trouble will also get a lot of thread space. Above all your common sense is the best tool, good luck. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Советская команда была представлена всего двумя спортсменками: Жанной Долгачевой и Ириной Красновой. В итоге сборная СССР не смогла принять участие в борьбе за медали в командном первенстве и эстафете.
По непонятным причинам руководители Спорткомитета СССР не включили в состав команды спортсменок, которые по итогам системы отбора претендовали на места в сборной СССР:Екатерина Болдина 2 место по отбору (победитель Международных соревнований в г. Минск, 4 место на чемпионате СССР лично и первое в команде); Светлана Султанова 3 место по отбору (чемпионка СССР); Краснова Светлана 4 место по отбору (бронзовый призер чемпионата СССР); Литвинова Татьяна 5 место по отбору (бронзовый призер Кубка СССР, 5 место на Международных соревнованиях в г. Минск, 6 место на чемпионате СССР лично и 1 место в команде).
К большому сожалению эти спортсменки были лишены возможности защищать честь своей страны в самом главном соревновании года.
В личном зачете И. Краснова заняла 7 место, Ж. Долгачева до последнего вида - конкура, претендовала на призовое место, но не справилась с лошадью и получила - 0 очков. К слову Жанна оказалась единственной пятиборкой, не получившей никаких зачетных очков из 53 стартовавших спортсменок в конкуре.
Команда Польши стала первым чемпионом мира в эстафетных соревнованиях.

BkiUcHnxaJJQnMJkXZLj | Greetings from the Complicated Art Man. It's that Fall-ish time of the year here in Central Florida. I took most of the summer off from art projects and it's getting to be that time again for new ones.
Hurricane Irma really did some significant damage here in the Orlando area and several trees were blown over. I picked up a couple of wood stumps and decided to give them new life. Those art projects are currently in their infancy stages and I will post about them when they're finished.
In the meantime, I've had a couple of growler bottles I've been working on and finally have finished them. I decided to go with a Florida seascape theme for both. After a recent trip to St Augustine, I was fortunate enough to catch the sunrise on the way back home. I caught a few shots of the sunrise over the Atlantic and have been pondering on them for a bit. After a couple of sketches in my journal, I was finally ready to do up the growlers.
Once again I took to the "lazy Susan" technique. I started off by priming the bottle with a couple of coats of flat black spray paint. If you have never tried painting on a bottle without priming it, good luck getting the paint to stick. I use a lot of wet on wet technique and it doesn't work without first priming the bottle. I like to go with the flat black base because it really makes the colors pop once you begin blending.
It takes a hot minute to figure out how to handle the growler while painting on it, without smearing the paint. For that, you'll just have to figure out which way works best for you.
One of these growlers is going to end up at my friend's restaurant in St. Augustine, Brewz N Dawgz. The owner Roger Lim, was gracious enough to gift me a growler. This will be the temporary home for the growler, until it makes its way to a permanent home.
I'm excited to start my next projects which will be painted on wood, cut from the stumps that I saved from Hurricane Irma. I will keep you posted. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Today is the 24th anniversary of Sri Lanka's historic win
My ardent wish is for Sri Lanka to win another World Cup - Punchihewa
Tuesday, March 17, 2020 - 01:00
Sa'adi Thawfeeq
FLASHBACK TO 1996: Ana Punchihewa and Arjuna Ranatunga with the most prized possession the Cricket World Cup.
With sport around the world and in the country coming to a virtual standstill because of the corona virus epidemic it will be pertinent to recall that today (March 17) marks the 24th anniversary of Sri Lanka winning the Cricket World Cup in Lahore.
When it will happen again is a matter of conjecture. We have come twice come close to laying our hands on the World Cup and lost the finals in 2007 and in 2011.
Ana Punchihewa who was president of the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL as it was then known) reliving the moment in Lahore said, "On the day we won the Cup, Arjuna (Ranatunga) receiving the World Cup from Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and Arjuna hitting the winning runs, those are the two most memorable moments that I remember that day and most of the people in Sri Lanka also remember."
"It took a little bit of time to realize that it was really happening and the significance of that moment, then tears came to my eyes that 'we did it, the boys did it' that I had played a part in it, a little bit whatever to make it happen, the whole country was very proud of the moment to this day."
When Punchihewa was elected president of the Cricket Board in 1995 one of his main ambitions was to make Sri Lanka the best cricket playing nation in the world by 2000 and to do that they laid out a corporate plan.
"There were about five of us including Arjuna, Aravinda (de Silva), Dav Whatmore, Anura Tennekoon and Ranjith Fernando the plan was done in September 1995. I can't remember whether winning the World Cup was one of them but we might have put it there. Our goal was to become the best cricketing nation in Tests and ODIs. Unfortunately I lost the election two weeks after winning the World Cup. That was the saddest day of my life. They threw away the five-year corporate plan," recalled Punchihewa.
It was one of the most shocking reversals in Sri Lanka cricket's election history and perhaps the world for a president of a Cricket Board to be ousted two weeks after his country had won the World Cup.
"Never in my life did I dream I would lose. I lost because the votes were brought," said Punchihewa. "I had another year and I could have pushed through what was in the plan and hopefully what happened later would not have happened. Sri Lanka cricket would have been better off, I don't know. Those things happen for the best because when I look back there was no money then.
"Money only started to come after the World Cup and no one really interfered much. Interference and all that came after the money and I would have found it very difficult to do my job. Everything I built up would have come to naught with people and the government interfering. Of course the President (at that time) was helpful from the beginning he never interfered at all. I don't know I would have even resigned."
The key figures in Sri Lanka's World Cup win when they beat Australia by seven wickets in the final were according to Punchihewa: "Arjuna the captain, the supporting staff Duleep Mendis (manager and chief selector), Dav Whatmore (coach) and Alex Kountouri (physio) were the people who were there. That was the size of the support staff we had not like now and of course, the team. Other than that, the cricket board committee they gave me their whole-hearted support.
"I said to the team I don't know much about cricket but more about management and administration and I left them to do what they thought was best and anything they needed I would provide them. One person was Anura Tennekoon he was the secretary at that time of the Board but he resigned before the end of his term and he was not there when we won the World Cup. They made him the director of the cricket academy we were going to have, unfortunately it never came to light."
Punchihewa said that he hoped that Sri Lanka could do it again and win another World Cup. "It is my ardent wish."
"At that time we were producing the players through a school system which was supposed to be one of the best in the world. Then it started getting weak. Today the cricket is not upto the standard we had, still I see we have the talent but there is no structure. We have to reduce this stupid number of 25 clubs playing tournament cricket to ten that is first thing that must go , the second thing is to reduce the number of votes from 140 to about 30, then from that will come all the good things," Punchihewa concluded. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfKs25V5jcCRIJRy0 | Paeonia Carl G. Klehm is the ultimate rose-shaped peony variety. The white petals have some slight hints of pink.
The buds can grow about 50 mm wide, and open up to flowers that are 20 cm in diameter. They are carried by thick stems with solid, dark green leaves.
This variety is bred by Roy Klehm as a tribute to his father Carl G. Klehm. Definitely one of the most famous peony breeders in the world. Although he bred a large number of classic peonies, he never named a variety after himself.
Carl G. Klehm will be added to our assortment of lovely peonies in 2020. We can guarantee you it will be worth the wait! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

KJOE History
Original Announcers
In January 1955, the Federal Communications Commission granted permission to Pipestone Radio Corporation, C.B. Thomas, President, to construct a radio station with a power of 1,000 watts on 1050 kilocycles with the call letters of KLOH ("Land of Hiawatha") In June of 1955, Dalton Nelson, station manager, put KLOH on the air.
In the early years, KLOH broadcast during daylight hours only. The first studio location was downtown Pipestone in a basement of a building next to the old Eagle Cafe. In 1961 the studio was moved to its present location west of Pipestone on Highway 30 at the twin towers site. In 1962, KLOH was purchased by Ingstad Corporation of Valley City, ND, Bob Ingstad Sr. President.
In 1965 Wallace Christensen took a position as an announcer, became Sales Manager, and then by 1972 was General Manager. In August 1976 he purchased the station from the Ingstads and is the present owner. During these years, KLOH has had major upgrades. One of the twin towers was moved and power was increased from 1,000 watts to 9,000 watts. Coverage was increased and KLOH started broadcasting in Stereo and 24 hours a day.
In 1980 a major building project was completed more than doubling the studio and office space. In May of 1998 a complete upgrade was done with the front office traffic and billing system computers.
In 2008 a major remodeling project made the building handicap accessible.
Dalton E. "Rob" Nelson
Rob started in radio some twenty years ago announcing. During the years he has written comedy for CBS shows, been an executive in advertising agencies and built a couple of radio stations. He attended the University of North Dakota and Northwestern University specializing in Merchandising.
Russ Odegaard
Russ began radio in the navy announcing for an Armed Forces Radio station in Cuba. After his discharge he studied radio further in Minneapolis and then to Pipestone. He fancies himself a comedian of sorts.
R. J. "Dick" Britsch
Dick came from Minot, North Dakota, land of oil wells. He studied office management there at the University of North Dakota. He used to edit a newspaper shortly after World War II.
Del Haugen
Studio Engineer
Del is another University of North Dakota man, plus DeVry Technical Institute, Cleveland Institute of Radio and American Institute of the Air. Also a ham operator.
Clarence Ausham
Clarence worked at KWOA and KELO and KELO-TV as a transmitter engineer, and served as a signal corps telephone lineman during World War II. He still 'commutes' between Pipestone and Worthington.
Henry "Hank" Alstrup
Hank has spent most of his life as a photographer. He has the redeeming feature of having worked for the Pipestone Star. He graduated from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and while there got his first taste of radio. He also happens to write occasionally and is a punster from way back. He'll do most of his work outside the studio as a salesman.
James F. "Jim" Kauper
Jim began in the radio world by announcing. It wasn't long after that when his talents showed up and took over as manager of his first station. Later, last year as a matter of fact, he joined the staff of WMFG Hibbing as their general manager. With a family of four children, he's still looking for a house. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
BkiUdUnxK7FjYEXSE9d3 | Chris Brown's Rant About Kehlani Parrish After Her Alleged Suicide Attempt Is Upsetting & Unnecessary
By Jamie Primeau
Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
After being the subject of cheating rumors, singer Kehlani Parrish was allegedly hospitalized following a suicide attempt. According to various sources, the 20-year-old shared two now-deleted Instagram posts on Monday night, which showed her in a hospital bed with an IV. The caption on one allegedly said that she attempted to take her own life. (A rep at Parrish's record label has no comment at this time.) Following the news of the alleged suicide, Chris Brown went on a Twitter rant against Parrish on Tuesday night and his comments are upsetting, to say the least. Brown wrote,
There is no attempting suicide. Stop flexing for the gram. Doing sh*t for sympathy so them comments under your pics don't look so bad
There are plenty of reasons why Brown's remarks are unacceptable, but the biggest is that in posting such tweets, he dismissed what could potentially be a very serious mental health issue. Although the alleged suicide attempt is not confirmed, his tweets mock the rumors rather than giving Parrish the benefit of the doubt. In one of the alleged deleted posts about her recovery, Parrish reportedly wrote, "Everyone's fighting things people know nothing about... thank you 4 all support." That first part couldn't be more true; you never know what's going on in someone else's head.
While you can go to Brown's Twitter page to see the rest of his insensitive posts, here's one example (and that in itself is plenty):
Based on Brown's other tweets, it appears that he was trying to stick up for Parrish's boyfriend (or ex-boyfriend, judging from her alleged Instagram post), NBA star Kyrie Irving. The aforementioned rumors alleged that Parrish cheated on Irving with her ex-boyfriend, singer PARTYNEXTDOOR. Still, no matter how much he may care about Irving, who he claims is a friend, it's not fair for Brown to attack Parrish this way. She's currently the subject of plenty of online rumors and bullying, so adding onto that is just unfair — especially when it's coming from someone with as large of a following as Brown.
Unsurprisingly, Brown's tweets resulted in backlash on social media, but based on his responses afterward, he did not care — which makes the situation all the more disappointing. On Wednesday morning, the 26-year-old posted another message, which said, "The amount of followers I got and the amount of comments are the amounts of f*cks I give."
Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Luckily, not everyone responded with such negativity. Nick Cannon shared a photo of himself hugging Parrish, in what looks like a hospital room. He captioned the picture, "Had to go grab my Youngen! #Family #LoveHug #NeverLettingGo #NeverLeavingHerSide #IGotYouForLife #UsAgainstTheWorld." Based on those hashtags and the photo itself, it does appear that he visited her in the hospital. On Wednesday morning, Nylon claimed that in another since-deleted post, Parrish wrote she is now "home" and "healthy."
Despite Brown's Twitter tirade, it's nice to see someone have Parrish's back. And fans' use of the hashtag #StayStrongKehlani show they're rooting for the singer, too. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbYHxK6Ot9Pm3to3I | Chamber Of Digital Commerce and U.S. Department of Commerce Lead the First Blockchain Certified Trade Mission to the United Arab Emirates
Washington, DC, October 3, 2017 – The Chamber of Digital Commerce, together with the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), are leading the first blockchain certified trade mission to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on October 1 through October 5, 2017.
The blockchain trade mission will include a delegation of members of Chamber of Digital Commerce with representatives from Bloq, Cisco, CMT Digital, Cognizant, Gem, Hogan Lovells and Netki. A key part of the mission will be focused on increasing US-based companies' presence in the UAE to help collaborate in implementing the "Dubai Blockchain Strategy," a vision to make Dubai the first blockchain-powered government in the world by 2020.
"This mission comes at an exciting time," said U.S. Ambassador to the UAE Barbara A. Leaf. "Leading U.S. financial technology providers are here to share the latest in blockchain technology developments with UAE banks, investment firms, and government agencies to ensure the integrity of financial transactions. U.S. financial technology firms are uniquely poised to assist Dubai's vision of becoming one of the world's first governments to use this technology."
"The UAE represents a progressive view in blockchain adoption, and serves as a great example for other governments around the world," said Perianne Boring, founder and president, Chamber of Digital Commerce. "We look forward to creating new business opportunities and partnerships, thereby advancing global adoption of blockchain technology."
The blockchain trade mission is a week-long event in the UAE, custom curated by the Chamber of Digital Commerce with support from the DOC and the Embassy of the UAE. The trade mission will include a series of private meetings, briefings and engagements with government officials and UAE-based businesses to promote the growth of US-business and blockchain in the UAE.

Nova Wonders Are We Alone
2018 Science HD
The search for extraterrestrial life is an age-old quest. But recent breakthroughs make today an era like no other in the history of astronomy. From the exhilarating probing of our own solar system and the Kepler mission's astounding discovery of thousands of extrasolar planets, to the next-generation telescopes under development, the prospects for finding life beyond Earth have never been stronger.
Still, daunting hurdles remain. How can we study anything light years away, let alone a little planet? In the vast universe, where should we even start to look? Is our failure to hear any other voices in the galaxy a sign that we are special? Join leading explorers now searching the galaxy for life and intelligence on other planets—and asks, if we do find other life in the universe... what would that mean?
Series: Nova Wonders
We are living in a new golden age of exploration. Planet hunters are searching far beyond our solar system and they are actually finding new worlds orbiting other suns. Thousands of these alien worlds have already been found, but this is the story of perhaps the greatest discovery yet, a star 40 light-years away with seven Earth-sized planets: Trappist-1.
This new discovery of seven alien Earth-like planets in a faraway solar system is a major milestone in our hunt for extraterrestrial life, and experts investigate the secrets of Trappist -1's mysterious worlds to reveal if we're truly alone in the universe.
Series: Space Deepest Secrets
NASA may have just gotten one step closer to the answering the question: are we alone? The Spitzer Telescope has made a groundbreaking discovery of exoplanets that could be similar to our own. And as Kepler also continues its search, our understanding of the universe continues to be redefined.

title: Akka and OSGi development in Eclipse
wordpress_id: 117
categories:
- Tutorials
---
This short tutorial is about how to run [akka](http://akka.io) in an OSGi environment. I faced
a lot of problems deploying in this in plain eclipse without maven, bnd or sbt.
This example is done with the java-API, however it is also possible with Scala.
### Requirements
* Eclipse Helios 3.6.2 with Scala-Plugin
* akka-1.1-modules distribution
### Configuration
First we have to do some minor changes in some Manifest files in the akka project.
1. Extract akka-modules-1.1.zip, e.g ~/akka
2. go to akka/lib_managed/compile
3. open akka-actor-1.1.jar -> META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
4. delete following line: _private-package: *_
5. Do the same with akka-typed-actor-1.1.jar
Second you have to setup a **target-platform** which is used to run the OSGi environment.
1. Go to windows->Preferences->Plugin development->Target Platform
2. Add target platform, use default
3. Extract your akka-modules-1.1.zip, e.g ~/akka
You need the follow plugins:
1. guice-all-2.0.jar
2. logback-classic-0.9.24.jar
3. logback-core-0.9.24.jar
4. slf4j-api-1.6.0.jar
5. [Aspectwerkz by Jonas Bonér](https://github.com/jboner/aspectwerkz/zipball/v2.2.2)
### The bundle
Create a new plugin project. No contributions to the UI and an activator class.
Copy the following libs into your bundle and add them to your classpath in MANIFEST.MF
* akka-actor-1.1.jar
* akka-typed-actor-1.1.jar
* akka-slf4j-1.1.jar
Create a class **MyActor**
import akka.actor.UntypedActor;
public class MyActor extends UntypedActor {
@Override
public void onReceive(Object msg) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Message: " + msg);
}
}
Add these lines to your **Activator** class.
import akka.actor.ActorRef;
import akka.actor.Actors;
//...
public void start(BundleContext bundleContext) throws Exception {
Activator.context = bundleContext;
ActorRef actor = Actors.actorOf(MyActor.class).start();
actor.sendOneWay("Hello You");
}
At last you have to edit the _MANIFEST.MF_. It should look something like this. (I know
I may have to the smallest set of import scala packages).
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: Core

BkiUbKw5i7PA9LCKv0ZA | My somewhat sad little coffee cake!
Anyhoo, all of this New York thinking had brought to mind–what to me is–a New York staple: coffee cake. So much in fact that coffee cake and its crispy, crumbly top consumed my thoughts for four days straight and since a New York style one isn't easy to come by in Milan, I decided to just make one. As most people usually do when recipe hunting, I consulted my good friend Google and stumbled upon a plethora of coffee cake recipes. I wanted to make them all. The many wild recipes featured versions that call for ginger, glazes, caramel, fruits, nuts and sour cream and more. Sure it would be dreamy to experiment and whip up something adventurous, but it wasn't so much an issue of ingredients as it was my limited cooking equipment—notably my lack of a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer–that forced me to select a recipe that was suitable for my means of preparation, so I opted for this basic soft-cake coffee cake with a crispy crumb top. Yes, the recipe calls for a mixer but it was among the "simplest" that I had found and seemed the most susceptible to the mixing efforts of a wooden spoon coupled with some good old-fashioned elbow grease.
I know I have previously alluded to my love of crumbs; crumbs, when done right, are just plain glorious. My crumbs turned out awesome if I do say so myself and while the cake itself wasn't awful, it could have been better. My electricity-less mixing resulted in somewhat of an unbalanced dough so when finished, parts of the cake tasted bland while others were a little more cake-like. I thanked God for the crumbs. They were divine and their crunchy texture, particularly against the blander parts of the cake, salvaged my somewhat sad little coffee cake. As with all of my kitchen (mis)adventures, I chalked this up as a lesson learned and I'll just aim to do better next time. 😉 Sometimes I think I should just stick to my Madeleines for now so as not to further disappoint myself. Getting these cookie-like cakes just right has been tricky. At least the recipe calls for wooden-spoon-only mixing (sigh of relief), but it's always gratifying to attempt something new. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdNM4dbjiVFhKfhbz | Amidst all of the outrage, the disgrace, the questionable tactical and everything else that has tainted this current season, there have been a few shining lights to give us hope that everything will eventually be alright.
Ok, so 16/17 hasn't been as bad as some fans will have you make out. Contrary to what some supporters are saying on social media, the club isn't actually dead, we're still called West Ham United and, believe it or not, it isn't the owners' fault the stadium is not 100% football friendly.
However, that doesn't mean to say it hasn't been a difficult season to endure, it most certainly has, but there have been several moments that should give us all hope for the immediate future.
Those positives include the performances of a small handful of players this season, despite a lot more of the playing squad being incredibly under par for too long since last July.
But who should the club definitely keep next summer and should they definitely put up for sale?
We posed that question to our readers earlier this week, listing 11 players and the manager as the key personnel who could be on the way out this summer in some way, shape or form.
In a simple up/down style vote, fans were asked to vote thumbs up for the players they want to see stay and thumbs down for the ones they don't, with the results at both ends of the table coming as a surprise. The poll received almost 6,500 votes in total.
Quite surprisingly, Robert Snodgrass is the main man fans want to keep at the club beyond the summer.
The Scotland international arrived in a £10.2m switch from Hull in January and is yet to really live up to that fee, but he has shown flashes of brilliance in his seven appearances in claret and blue this far.
The boss Slaven Bilic came in at 2nd, which shows that he still has the support of the fans despite a difficult season and a number of questionable decisions from him throughout the campaign – hopefully he's given a new contract soon and is allowed to continue what he started last term.
And finally, Angelo Ogbonna is the third player fans want to keep most beyond the summer. He absense has been felt in recent weeks, and we haven't won since it was revealed he would miss the rest of the season through injury.
So there you have it – the results may surprise you, but the fans have spoken. Irons. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUak_xK6-gDyrT66g8 | Curved instrument cluster
Bosch is putting the world's first curved instrument cluster in the cockpit of a mass-production vehicle. What has long since arrived in people's living rooms at home and for the smartphone is now being put on the road by Bosch as the first of its kind in mass production. "The days of flat instrument displays are over. With the world's first curved instrument cluster, Bosch is opening up a new dimension in vehicle cockpits," says Steffen Berns, president of the Car Multimedia division. The "curved" instrument cluster will be celebrating its debut in the Innovision Cockpit of the new VW Touareg. This means that Volkswagen is now replacing analog display technology behind the steering wheel with a freely configurable, high-resolution, curved display. Depending on what the driver wants to see at any given time, the screen is able to display large-area navigation maps, driver information or the status of the assistance systems. The secret behind the sharpness and contrast of the new displays is a new manufacturing process, with which the instrument cluster reflects more than four times less light, even in the sunlight.
"The days of flat instrument displays are over. With the world's first curved instrument cluster, Bosch is opening up a new dimension in vehicle cockpits."
Steffen Berns, president of the Car Multimedia division
More safety, more space, more freedom
These days, everyone knows that the world is not flat. With a consistently digital, curved instrument display, Bosch is now proving that instrument clusters in the vehicle also no longer have to be flat. Its curvature mimics the natural curvature of the human eye. As a result, the driver is able to much better detect indicator lights and warning signals, even at the edge of the screen. This also gives it a clear advantage over the familiar curved monitors at home in the living room, where only one person can sit at the optimum viewing angle at any one time. In contrast, the curved instrument cluster in a vehicle always optimally accommodates the driver's view. "Drivers benefit from curved instrument clusters in terms of safety and convenience. At the same time, this type of display gives automotive manufacturers greater freedom and more space in the design of the cockpit," says Berns. Nowadays, automotive manufacturers increasingly want to avoid using mechanical switches, knobs, and controls. However, large-sized monitors are very high on the wish list – as is the curved instrument cluster made by Bosch. Beneath its surface, it combines a large number of digital displays, while taking up almost two centimeters less space than a non-curved screen of comparable size.
"Whatever you want" in the cockpit
Speedometer, navigation maps, and telephone list: the contents displayed on the instrument cluster with a screen diagonal of close to 31 centimeters (12.3 inches) are determined by the driver depending on the driving situation and personal preference. An intelligent control system, which – invisible to the driver – is concealed behind the cockpit on a control unit. It ensures that the driver always sees exactly the screen contents that he wants to see at a glance. There is a choice, for example, from between detailed information on the current journey, the navigation map, telephone contacts, or details on the playlist currently playing. Each piece of information can be displayed over the entire screen or shown in combination with other contents. So anyone who wants to display the navigation map and the telephone list in addition to the traditional speedometer can do so easily and conveniently by making those selections using the multifunction steering wheel or the infotainment's touchscreen. It is also possible to perform a targeted zoom into the navigation map directly on the instrument cluster – another novel feature that will debut in the Touareg's Innovision Cockpit.
Four times less glare
Vibrations, temperature fluctuations, susceptibility to malfunctions: the demands placed on vehicle displays in terms of quality and robustness are high. In addition, the driver must be able to reliably read screen displays even when the sun is shining directly on the vehicle display. That is why Bosch's new curved instrument cluster uses a special manufacturing process. Up to now, this process was used to make screens for flat displays with high contrast, even in bright ambient light. In cooperation with partners, Bosch is now using this process for the first time in the large-scale production of a curved display for the vehicle cockpit. In optical bonding – which is what this process is called – a thin liquid is used to bond the instrument display and glass directly to each other. Thanks to the perfect connection of the two components, the instrument cluster reflects more than four times less light. For the driver, this means that there is virtually no glare and the display is rich in contrast and clear in both direct sunlight and darkness.

BkiUc_05qhDBTwvxI00Q | So Dakota is a huge Star Wars fan and has been since he was very young. If I had all the money I spent on Star Wars action figures I could buy a new car... Well when you're over 10 action figures are not very cool (unless you're Sheldon, Leonard, Raj or Howard and they are vintage NIB) so I decided to make a Darth Vader coaster for him.
I searched "Darth Vader" on Google and found one I thought would be easy to trace using my Silhouette software. After tracing I cut it out of black vinyl, weeded it and put it on a white 4x4 tile using transfer tape. You may want to use the wet method for this one, and transfer tape that has been used before or remove some of the tackiness by pressing it on your blue jeans a few times.

BkiUfpI5qhLByVBy16M9 | Now that Osama is back from the dead, maybe we can come to grips with the fact that 9/11 really did matter. The fallout from the terror attacks put the GOP in power last week, and it continues to dog the economy. Somehow the ongoing effects of the day that changed everything eluded a lot of otherwise smart people, and also pollsters. Now we are going to fight Iraq not because of its proximate link to terror but because of its proxy status for the people who terrorized us--it's a convenient enemy and unseating Saddam is meant to send a message to our real antagonists--or at least to the governments that might aid them. Maybe we should attack the actual problem instead. With the Bearded Menace returning to the airwaves, at least people will remember how we got into this funk to begin with.

BkiUdP84eIZjofWfIZrm | The National's Rebirth Officially Begins Friday
The new six-story mixed-use building will feature a faithful reconstruction of the Midcentury Modern facade that landed the original building on the city's historic register.

A little more than a year ago, as it was being demolished, the old National Products Company Building on North Second Street in Old City got a thorough going-over from Bradley Maule at Hidden City, who noted that whatever else happened, the bright-orange-tile Midcentury Modern facade that made the building worth saving would be preserved and restored.
The only difference between Maule's description of how that would happen then and what will happen starting Friday, June 9th, is that the people in charge of the reconstruction project have changed. Replacing Glenside-based Dale Corporation is the Buccini/Pollin Group (BPG), a Wilmington-based developer of multifamily housing, office buildings and mixed-use projects, including Talen Energy Stadium (nee PPL Park), the home of the Philadelphia Union soccer team on the Chester waterfront.
BPG will develop the property on behalf of its owner, an entity of the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust, and manage it through its ResideBPG property management arm. The design remains the one Barton Partners unveiled last year: a six-story building clad in metal panels with orange accents that match the restored and newly manufactured tiles below. TN Ward Company will be the project's general contractor.
In a news release, BPG Co-President Robert E. Buccini said, "We are thrilled to finally begin construction on The National, our first of many planned apartment ventures in Philadelphia. We have steadily expanded our residential development and ResideBPG management platform in nearby Wilmington and have long sought such a signature location as an entry into the strong Philadelphia multifamily market."
"This development has been in the works for decades and we are eager to see The National join the incredible array of residential and recreational amenities in Old City," Boris Kaplan, BPG vice president, said in the same release. "We are treating this project with great care in recognition of the historic fabric of the surrounding community. This location is tough to beat and we expect the diverse dining, cultural and commercial destinations in this thriving neighborhood to drive demand for these apartments."
When it was being demolished, the property owner agreed to a stipulation the city included with the demolition permit that the tile and metal facade be preserved, restored and rebuilt. New tiles are being produced to replace those that are in poor condition or have suffered damage.
When completed in the summer of 2018, the new National will contain 192 apartments, 2,000 square feet of street-level retail space, and resident garage parking for 60 cars. Building amenities will include a fitness center, a pet spa, a two-story clubhouse and a roof deck with gas fire pits and grills.
The project will also transform a glorified parking lot next door to the building into an actual park that will serve as a more attractive entrance to next-door Elfreth's Alley, the nation's oldest continuously occupied residential street.
BPG is currently building a similar mixed-use residential/commercial project in downtown Wilmington designed to speed the transformation of that city's Market Street into a live-work-play thoroughfare with activity at almost all hours of the day. That's already an accurate description of Old City today, which means BPG has less in the way of heavy lifting to do with this particular revitalization project.
A groundbreaking ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday will officially mark the start of construction.

Kia has always been known for subtle looking premium vehicles, but recently it changed the perception of people by introducing its first performance model, the Kia pro_cee'd GT. Today, Kia adds a new high performance car to its family for the UK, the Kia cee'd GT. This is a five door version of the pro_cee'd GT and hence offers more practicality.

The upcoming, latest version Kia Soul EV is going to get a major update in the form of a more advanced battery. Kia has confirmed that the forthcoming Soul EV will equip a class-leading battery energy density of 200 Wh/kg, a combined effort made by Kia Motors Corporation and SK Innovation. The battery has a total capacity of 27 kWh, thanks to the development team who managed to pack 192 lithium-ion polymer battery cells in 8 modules. For the Soul EV's battery cells, Kia used Nickel-rich NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) cathode material.The main reason of using this material is of its performance factor as the actual EV driving range is decided by the cathode itself. This renders the improved Soul EV to offer a brilliant range of around 200 km on a full charge. To take care of the safety and lifecycle of the battery without compromising on the energy density,

Although just a concept, it could potentially transform into a strong B-segment contender in the coming years. What will make the Niro stand out from its competition is its propulsion system which uses a combination of an hybrid electric powertrain and an advanced all wheel drive system.Proportion wise the Niro is 164.8 inches in overall length, 72.8 inches in width and 61.3 inches in height, and features a 102 inch wheelbase. This clearly tells despite being a crossover at heart, how compact the Niro concept is. Apart from the compact design what really attracts us is a looks of Niro which make use of "Limelight" aluminum anodized parts such as

Kia Motors America (KMA) has unveiled the company's latest concept car at the 2014 North American International Auto Show. Dubbed the GT4 Stinger, the concept gives a new direction to Kia's design language and has been designed by the company's California team which proved itself in 2012 with the Track'ster concept. Beneath that beautiful design of the GT4 Stinger lies a tuned version of Kia's proven 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline direct injected (T-GDI) four-cylinder engine that produces 315 hp at max.All those horses are then fed to the close-ratio six-speed manual transmission that further transmits the power to the ground via rear wheels. The car rolls on custom 20-inch aluminum center-lock wheels featuring carbon fiber inserts, and wrapped in 275/35R-20 Pirelli P-Zero performance tires out back and 235/35R-20 Pirelli P-Zeros at front. Housed by the rims is a set of Brembo Gran Turismo two-piece 15-inch cross-drilled rotors and four-piston calipers

From no deal on Shark Tank to $28 million from Richard Branson with James Siminoff
IN THIS EPISODE: of Rise & Grind, episode 46 we chat with James (Jamie) Siminoff, the CEO and Founder of Ring, a video Doorbell that lets you answer the door from anywhere using your smartphone. Their mission is extremely noble. To reduce criminality. It was previously known as Doorbot and it might ring a bell (no pun intended) as Jamie appeared on Shark Tank Season 3. If you are a frequent listener of our show you might recall our episode number 6 where we talked with Tanner Dame, I used a very provocative title "Is this company Sharks' biggest missed opportunity?" as the sharks missed a great investment opportunity. Well, with Jamie and Ring the sharks made a huge mistake, again. But let's start by the beginning. Jamie, a serial entrepreneur, started Ring because of necessity, as other great entrepreneurial stories. One day he was in the garage and couldn't hear the doorbell. That was his a-ha moment. In college he studied entrepreneurship and he is a self-taught engineer, he mentions he's always been a tinker, always busy in the garage creating new products. I tried to get his secret sauce to create physical products but Siminoff replied "I don't know how to explain how to create something. I just do stuff. It kind of happened." Siminoff's journey with Ring has been quite remarkable. He started by creating his own pre-orders' website as Kickstarter at the time didn't accept products with cameras. Then he got to know about Shark Tank via a personal friend who knew a Shark Tank producer. He appeared in Season 3 and only O'Leary was interested in Ring (at that time called Doorbot) but as sometimes Mr. Wonderful does he made a truly bad offer that Siminoff couldn't accept even though he was pretty desperate for money. That didn't hit his self-confidence and he gives a lot of credit to Shark Tank for his success. Even today people tell him that they saw the product on Shark Tank. The Shark Tank effect is certainly difficult to quantify but he mentions that it is "between 5 and 10 million". Sales were growing and then something truly amazing happened. He received an email from Richard Branson asking if he could invest. Siminoff accept and Branson became an investor. Big time. $28 million dollars and Branson has become one of the biggest supporters of Ring. Jamie couldn't share revenue numbers but looking at the following data you can certainly say that the Sharks let an amazing investing opportunity fly way: Raised $100 million to date 550 people on his team. Ring is present in 15000 stores in the US and growing globally. "I think big mistakes are the ones that kill you, all the other mistakes are lessons." - James Siminoff Listen now to this amazing interview with James Siminoff from Ring.com WHAT WILL YOU LEARN: How people understimate what they can learn on their own. Why you shouldn't rush when creating a product, good things take time. Why choosing a right name for a consumer product is fundamental. How much a premium domain like Ring.com can cost FIREBOLT ROUND Favorite Business Book: Biography of Walt Disney Favorite online tool: Gmail Somebody you admire and follow: Jeff Bezos Knowing what you know now and If you wanted or had to start a new business today, what would you do?:"I am so immersed in Ring that I can't even think what's going on in the world right now" Motivational quote?: "In the short term the markets are a voting machine, in the long term they are a weighing machine." - Warren Buffett What advice would you give to your 20-year-old self?: "Be calm, understand what you like and do that. Don't rush everything." Thanks so much for listening!

BkiUe5_xK1Thg9qFfCpY | Dinu Nicodin (; pen name of Nicolae Ioanid; 1886–1948) was a Romanian writer affiliated with the modernist venue Sburătorul. Having an aristocratic (boyar) background, he was an eccentric and adventurous figure who only turned to literature as a hobby, and whose scattered works were generally well received by critics during his lifetime. Nicodin was a promoter of works by his younger colleagues, and cultivated close friendships with those of his generation, being primarily noted for his presence on the interwar's social scene.
Nicodin's two novels, Lupii ("The Wolves") and Revoluţia ("The Revolution"), have earned praise for their erudition and their characteristic narrative style, but these traits have also made him hard to place in relation to 20th century currents in Romanian literature. The writer largely faded out of critical memory by 1950, although there has been a significant resurgence in interest in later decades.
Biography
The scion of an old and prosperous boyar family, Nicodin lived in Bucharest, where his main residence was the Capşa Hotel. He was reportedly a passionate hunter, sharing this hobby with the other surviving members of Romanian boyardom. His other activities centered on eccentric and adventurous pursuits: a dueler and a horse rider, he was also a financial expert, and once tasked by the government with overseeing the liquidation of a bank. Although discovered late in life, his literary ambition is said to have led him to consider writing not just novels, but also screenplays and studies, in several languages.
Cultivating a personal relationship with literary theorist Eugen Lovinescu, Nicodin became a presence among the members of Lovinescu's literary circle, Sburătorul. The two shared a book collecting hobby and a love of fine paper: Nicodin procured for his friend paper items made from Japanese silk, and financed bibliophile editions of both their works. While attending the sessions of Sburătorul, Nicodin also pursued a romantic affair with female novelist Cella Serghi. His own debut came late in life: the 1934 novel Lupii, which elevated him to critical attention, and the prose poem Aghan.
Dinu Nicodin made his comeback to literature during World War II, when he published a volume of short stories, Pravoslavnica ocrotire (approx., "The Orthodox Protection"). Seeing print two years later, Revoluţia was Nicodin's contribution to the historical novel genre. His literary confirmation came later, after the August 1944 Coup toppled the repressive Ion Antonescu regime (see Romania during World War II). In September, Nicodin was one of the writers newly admitted into the Romanian Writers' Society, and whose arrival followed the expulsion of authors considered fascists or supporters of authoritarianism.
Shortly before his 1948 death, Nicodin was in correspondence with young critic Ion Negoiţescu. A disciple of Lovinescu and member of the Sibiu Literary Circle, Negoiţescu had earlier given an enthusiastic review to Revoluţia. Nicodin was among those who tried to obtain Negoiţescu a scholarship to study in France, but their common project ultimately failed.
Work
Dinu Nicodin had an eccentric position in the field of Romanian literature, and has traditionally been described by literary critics and historians as a hard to classify figure, and found primarily interesting for using a distinctive stylistic category of the Romanian language. One such reviewer, George Călinescu, welcomed the novelist's 1934 debut as a display of "best quality humor, solid culture and an irony of rare acrimony." The same commentator later defined Nicodin as "bizarre" and "snobbish beyond all belief".
Later voices in criticism expanded on such verdicts, while issuing various interpretations of Nicodin's contextual role. Nicolae Manolescu notes that common perception has linked together Nicodin and another eccentric figure of his generation, Mateiu Caragiale, but suggests that this comparison is "entirely senseless", the only such similarity being a "precious and sumptuous style" present in both Lupii and works by Caragiale. Ovid Crohmălniceanu primarily identified Nicodin's literary contribution by its "arty prose", which he believed akin to the styles of Caragiale and Emanoil Bucuţa. He notes that, in Nicodin's case, the marks of this approach include: "carefully staged phrasing", "archaic patina", "affected and snobbish" manner and "rare pictorial strength".
Lupii, a combination of travel literature and satire, made an instant impression on the reading public. The narrative pretext is a hunting trip into the northern reaches of Transylvania region and into Maramureş, during which the protagonist, a forestry clerk named Venetici (from venetic, "stranger") is confronted with differences in customs and the hostility of locals. In his 1934 review of the novel, Călinescu suggested that the theme of the book partly deals with a cultural tension between, on one hand, the "asperities" of character encouraged by the Habsburg legacy in Transylvania and, on the other, the social characteristics introduced after the "Great Union". Crohmălniceanu finds that a defining element of Lupii is the inhospitality of local characters, which offers Nicodin grounds for "ironic reflections with erudite references".
In his definitive history of Romanian literature (first published in 1941), Călinescu nuanced his positive appraisal of Lupii. His note on the subject deemed "puzzling" other critics' reactions to Nicodin's work, including comparisons made between the author and the 19th century Romantic prose writer Alexandru Odobescu. In effect, he argued, Lupii was "an amateur's modest party, soon after forgotten."
The author's interest in bookish themes is again evidenced in Aghan, where he adapts a Romantic theme from French author Gérard de Nerval's La Main enchantée ("The Enchanted Hand"). A more ambitious project, Revoluţia was Dinu Nicodin's perspective on French Revolution and the philosophy of history. Writing from a Marxist perspective, Crohmălniceanu argued that the novelist was constructing "precipitous ramblings", the signs of "reactionary delirium". He nevertheless approved of "memorable scenes" such as the Noyades: "a somber painting, accomplished with extraordinary power of expression."
The volume was received with sympathy by some of the authors who were just then debuting. One of them, Pericle Martinescu, called it "a European-level creation" and Nicodin's "capital work", but argued that the particularities of style made it untranslatable. According to a 2008 article by academic Andrei Terian, Ion Negoiţescu's early review of Nicodin's book erred by shifting critical attention toward "saucy and picturesque" aspects, such as a glimpse into Jean Jacques Rousseau's sexuality. Negoiţescu also found "admirable" the pages which discuss the Great Fear, and expressed further praise for Nicodin's approach to the Reign of Terror (centered on graphic episodes such as one in which dogs drenched in human blood are chasing each other through the streets).
Legacy
Present in Lovinescu's various autobiographical texts, Dinu Nicodin is also briefly mentioned in the memoirs of female novelist Lucia Demetrius, whose debut was also under the auspices of Lovinescu's circle. Demetrius, who describes the aged author as a "very elegant" man, also reports that Nicodin gave a good reception to her unpublished work, but also notes feeling "stunned" that Lovinescu, who mediated between his two associates, callously intervened in their correspondence. Nicodin is referred to in the autobiographical notations of another novelist, I. Peltz. He described his colleague as "well-built, with the calm gaze of men who have seen and are aware of many things", and recalled: "he dressed himself in accordance with the latest fashion in London, wore the most expensive perfumes of Paris, spoke with a studied foreign accent [and] carried out his correspondence on extra fine paper".
Dinu Nicodin was often ignored altogether in works of literary history published both before and after the establishment of Romania's communist regime. Among the works of his day who did mention Nicodin's work, George Călinescu's 1941 synthesis, according to a later pronouncement by literary critic Cosmin Ciotloş, effectively "dismissed [it], with superiority, in just a couple of phrases." An exception to this rule is Nicodin's younger friend, Negoiţescu: his own overview study of Romanian literature, published after his self-exile to West Germany, allocates more text to Nicodin's work than to the better-known works of Liviu Rebreanu.
The partial recovery of Nicodin's work which followed the 1989 Revolution and end of communism included a 2000 reprint of Revoluţia, published by Editura Albatros and edited by critic Ion Simuţ. In 2008, Nicodin was granted a sizable entry in Nicolae Manolescu's own overview of Romanian literature. According to Ciotloş, Manolescu parted with his mentor, George Călinescu, by reinstating Nicodin to a more prominent position. Manolescu's text was itself a comment on Nicodin's legacy: "Without doubt, the man is [...] superior to his work. Without the man's reputation, it is probable that the novels, not to mention the short stories [...], would now be forgotten."

BkiUenXxK7Ehm4VQwPix | The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare poster on coping with depression has drawn protests from doctors and psychologists, who say that it undermines the role of medical intervention and talk therapy for treating the condition. The poster, shared on social media on Monday, lists ten ways to "cope with depression" but does not advise seeking professional help.
Depression is a cognitive dysfunction that affects a person's ability thinking perception as well as the ability to acquire, understand and respond to information. It is often caused by chemical imbalances in the brain and a reduction of certain neurotransmitters. According to the World Health Organisation, more than 56 million people – 4.5% of India's population – suffer depressive symptoms.
The health ministry's tweet carrying the poster says, "Depression is a state of low mood that affects a person's thought, behaviour, feeling & sense of well-being. One must take up activities that keep him or her boosted in order to cope with depression." These activities, according to the ministry, are following a routine, traveling, being creative, taking multivitamins, thinking positive, practicing yoga, staying clean, sleeping for eight hours, eating fruit and going for walks.
Mental health professionals have pointed out the glaring gap in the ministry's advice – seeking diagnosis and counselling from a mental health professional.
Kumar and his colleagues from the society are in the process of writing to the health ministry to ask it to withdraw the poster since they fear that it will do more harm than good to those diagnosed or suffering silently with depression. For example, a person with depression finds it difficult to wake up in the morning, said Dr NN Raju, consultant psychiatrist at Visakhapatnam. Instead of recognising this as a symptom of the disease, the person's family may blame him for not trying hard enough wake up on time as a way to cope with the disease. "We know that depression needs medical attention and the chemical imbalance in the brain can be corrected with medicines and cognitive therapy also helps," Raju added.
Mental health professionals said that the posters advice may work to counter stress but not depression. The conflicting message, Raju said, is a result of the government's own inability to understand the causes of depression. "What they have said in the poster can perhaps help prevent mental illness and are good tips to keep happy but not tools to cope with depression," he said.
Dr Harish Shetty, a psychiatrist from Mumbai, has also written to Health Minister JP Nadda protesting the poster. "It has trivialised depression and after reading the poster, people on treatment may just stop taking medicines and instead follow advice of the government" on eating fruit and doing yoga.
Doctors are also aghast at the mention of multivitamins helping to treat depression. "There is no scientific evidence that multivitamin can treat depression," said Raju. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUdrvxaL3SuhsxKbeh | Looks really nice and is small. Easy to store when not used. It is also surprisingly effective. Easily sufficient for a 3 bed semi-detached house.
I have one of these, really useful good price. Low noise, low energy use.
Dehudifiers are a must in the UK, especially during winter. Best kept in the are where you hang your washing to dry.
We couldn't be without ours in the winter for drying clothes, especially with 2 kids. Pair it with a heated drying rack and a full load of washing will easily dry over night.
We've had a 20l Meaco for a couple of years now..and wouldn't be without it in Winter. Great for condensation on windows overnight, makes air easier to heat, dries washing overnight, and ours has a HEPA filter too. Love it.
We have 2 similar to this one upstairs and one downstairs , we also run one in our static Caravan all year brilliant . Cost a few quid in electric but so what, cheaper than having to have repairs because of damp and mold.
Can't fault Meaco. I've had one since 2014 and use it quite regularly, it's good for the winter when you need to dry clothes indoors that can't tumble dry!
considering the 20litre, i would primarily need this for drying clothes.
This is £52.99 through that link ???
There's promotion message below the price you click on that to redeem voucher (save 56%) and then should come up £23.32 in the checkout .
Look into a PIV unit.
Absolutely brilliant. Feeds filtered air down from the loft creating a positive pressure in house. The positive pressure forces stale damp air out continuously.
House smells fresher and no problems with condensation or dampness.
In winter you also get the benefit of solar gain from the warmer loft air.
Ours cost about £250 and easy DIY install.
is it worth signing upto whcih for 15 kwid off and then …is it worth signing upto whcih for 15 kwid off and then cancellingconsidering the 20litre, i would primarily need this for drying clothes.
You have to spend £200 to use the which trial, if you are buying two, then yeah it's worth it.
I bought the low energy 20l meanco one awhile back for some reason. It appears to be a good device, it gets a huge amount of water out of the air in the winter as the relative humidity is high, although right now in the summer it's a little useless, the readding it gives for relative humidity appears to be pretty low, so I guess I need a dehumidifier in the winter and a humidifier for the summer?
as much water as it did take from the air in the winter I am not sure what good it actually did.
We couldn't be without ours in the winter for drying clothes, especially …We couldn't be without ours in the winter for drying clothes, especially with 2 kids. Pair it with a heated drying rack and a full load of washing will easily dry over night.
By that point why not just put the clothes in the dryer?
At the risk of asking a stupid question, what's the purpose of a dehumidifier? Is it only for when your house is damp? I live in a new build and haven't seen any damp or condensation at all, but I've never owned one of these before either.

If you don't get condensation on your bedroom windows in winter (when your heating is off overnight), when drying clothes, or excessive moisture in your bathroom, then don't bother.
But if you do need one, get this. Great bit of kit. I've had mine 7+ years and I can't fault it.
More expensive than an electric heater, AND a dehumidifier? I'm not so sure. Both of those need to run all night for a load, while the dryer might use more power at peak times, it doesn't need to run for nearly as long. I also tend to find line-dried clothes are not as soft as stuff out of the dryer.
I didn't think many modern textiles had problems with shrinking?
I guess it depends what kind of clothes you tend to have maybe.

My tumble dryer uses 3kw of electricity and takes 2h to dry a full load properly.
My dehumidifier and drying rack use about 600w when both on. So 10 hours is about the same.
I do agree that clothes are much softer coming out of the dryer though. Shrinkage is still an issue though clothes only shrink once, i.e. the second/ third time they are in the dryer they won't shrink any more. | c4 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |

'Golden Era' is about Hip Hop's golden age. The golden era is usually cited as being during the 1980's and 1990's. Diversity, quality, innovation, together with strong themes of Afrocentrism and political militancy, influence and define this era. The music was experimental and the 'sampling' eclectic.
