BkiUfOM5qhLBr1LtF33K | It's that time of the year again, boys. No, we're not talking about Christmas—although the -ber months are fast approaching, so brace yourselves for the endless Christmas songs and the sudden appearance of godchildren you didn't know you have.
We're referring to the upcoming release of the next iPhone (or iPhones?), which will probably happen next month (September has historically been new iPhone month). And as with any hotly anticipated tech product, rumors abound as to what it'll have, and what it won't.
Like what we did last year, we'll do you a solid and give you a rundown of the possible features the 2015 iPhone(s) might have, according to the tech rumor mill. Keep in mind that we're just going with hearsay and guesses right now, and we may be proven wrong by Cupertino on or before the purported September 25 unveiling.
Wait...what are they gonna be called again?
A few sources call the next Apple handsets iPhone 6S and 6S Plus; some, like analyst (and super-reliable predicter of upcoming Apple features) Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, label them iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Right now we're gonna go with 6S and 6S Plus because, based on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5, Apple likes to add an "S" to every new model as a sign that it's more "super" than its predecessor but not necessarily a whole new product.
In other words: We'll place our bets on incremental and internal updates, rather than huge shakeups to an insanely successful product line just one year after.
A third iPhone coming soon?
We saw over on CNET that there may be a third 2015 iPhone to be outed next month: a smaller and more affordable version to be named iPhone 6C or iPhone mini. This little one will follow the example of the 5C and be clad in various bright colors. It will also draw inspiration from the 5S and come with a 14K gold variant. Choices, choices.
TechRadar says the next iPhones will ship with a Series 7000 Aluminum Alloy build, previously used on the Apple Watch. It's reportedly more durable (by up to 60-percent!) compared to the material on the bendy iPhones. That's great news, but it also invites more extreme physical tests (and gruesome smartphone destruction) from people with enough money and time to burn. We'll wait for those viral videos to come out, popcorn at the ready.
There's one detail that stays consistent across different rumor sources: The new iPhones will retain the same sizes they were given last year (4.7- and 5.5-inches). It's said to look the same as the 6 and 6 Plus models, too, although we all know there's much more going on inside, which might warrant a slight change in thickness. The 6S' successor is rumored to be a bit thicker by 0.2mm, but otherwise it's going to look the same as its predecessor.
In short: There's no need to change smartphone covers and hard cases...at least not until 2016, when another major product redesign is expected.
The Wall Street Journal called it back in March, and it has been echoed by other news sources: The next iPhones may have Force Touch technology. First seen in Apple's MacBook and Watch products, Force Touch basically senses how softly or hard the user is pressing or tapping on the screen, resulting to versatility and more touchscreen features (like pressing harder to fast-forward through a video faster).
Having Force Touch on the 2015 iPhones can lead to "more innovative gaming applications," as attributed by WSJ to Kylie Huang, an analyst from Daiwa Capital Markets. Business Insider meanwhile also quoted Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac as saying that Force Touch can also effect changes to user shortcuts and function (e.g., dropping pins in Apple Maps, adding calendar events, and scrolling with media players in iOS).
While we haven't found anything specific regarding the 2015 iPhones' batteries, sources like CNET say the next iPhones will have improved battery life, thanks in part to Qualcomm's power-efficient LTE chip.
Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple's asking its suppliers to step up their game. Specifically, the company wants them to make a whopping 85 million to 90 million smartphones by the end of the year. That's 15 million to 20 million more than what they wanted last year! | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfJjxK7kjXMEc--qT | For reasons of candidate wellbeing, the 2019 Leaving Certificate written examination timetable has been extended beyond the traditional 13 day window. The new extended timetable has been designed to alleviate pressure on candidates by eliminating subject clashes as much as possible. There has been a very a particular focus on ensuring that there is only a minimal chance that a candidate will have to take three examinations on one day. However, not all clashes have been eliminated and there is still a possibility that some candidates, because of their particular subject choices, may have to sit three examinations in one day in 2019 or in a future year.
In 2019 the examinations will take place over a 15 day period, commencing on 5th June and concluding on the 25th June. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdHI4eIfiUWiFc3dF | Esophageal spasm is a sudden, painful tightening of your lower esophagus. Your esophagus is the tube that food and liquids pass through from your mouth to your stomach.
The cause of esophageal spasm is not clear. It may be caused by problems with the nerves that control how your esophagus moves when you swallow . Esophageal spasm may be common among family members. Foods that are too hot or too cold may increase how often your esophagus spasms. Spasms may also happen on their own.
What are the signs and symptoms of esophageal spasm?
Trouble when you swallow: Food may get stuck in your esophagus.
Chest pain: You may have chest pain or discomfort that starts behind your sternum (breastbone). The pain may spread to your arms, jaw, or back. It may be mild or severe. It may also worsen when you eat.
Heartburn: This is a burning feeling in your chest or throat caused by stomach acid that rises into your throat. This may leave a bitter taste in your mouth, and it may be worse after meals or when you lie down.
How is esophageal spasm diagnosed?
Manometry: Your healthcare provider will gently insert a tube into your throat and down into your stomach. The tube has sensors on it that measure the pressure in your esophagus. This pressure shows the strength of the spasms when you swallow. The test also shows how well food and fluids move down your esophagus when you swallow.
Endoscopy: Your healthcare provider will gently place a scope (long tube with a small camera on the end) into your throat to check for problems with the shape of your esophagus. Your healthcare provider may also check the thickness of your esophagus. Samples of your esophagus tissue may be taken and sent to a lab for tests.
X-ray with barium swallow: An x-ray of your abdomen is a picture of your stomach and esophagus. You will drink a thick liquid called barium to help your esophagus and stomach show up better on the x-ray. Follow the instructions from your healthcare provider before and after the x-ray test.
How is esophageal spasm treated?
Pain medicine: This medicine helps take away or decrease pain caused by the spasms.
Smooth muscle relaxants: This medicine may help your muscles and esophagus relax so it is easier for you to swallow. It may also decrease your pain and trouble swallowing.
Proton pump inhibitors: This medicine may help reduce stomach acid and prevent heartburn.
Botulinum toxin injections: This medicine is given as shots into your esophagus to relax the muscles. Your healthcare provider may use a scope as a guide for the injections.
Surgery: You may need surgery if other treatments do not improve your symptoms.
Dilatation: Dilators to widen your esophagus are gently inserted through a scope into your esophagus.
Myotomy: Muscles in your esophagus are cut to widen the area and allow food and liquids to move into the stomach more easily.
What other treatments may my healthcare provider suggest?
Biofeedback: Biofeedback is a type of therapy that helps you control how your body reacts to stress or pain. Your healthcare provider will use electrodes (wires) on different parts of your body, such as your chest, to monitor your body responses. This may help you learn ways to reduce your pain or spasms.
Relaxation therapy: Stress may cause pain, lead to illness, and slow healing. Relaxation therapy teaches you how to feel less physical and emotional stress. Deep breathing, muscle relaxation, and music are some forms of relaxation therapy.
Your symptoms do not improve even with treatment.
You have severe pain when you swallow.
You are drooling or have trouble swallowing .
You are choking, gagging, or vomiting.
You have pain when you swallow.
You have new or worse chest pain and shortness of breath. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdP05jDKDyKYv5W71 | There are so many nationalities in our world and all they now live peacefully and respect each other, though we are very different. But such picture didn't exist for all the time. Earlier it was very difficult to survive for those nations, whose quantities were smaller and who had their own traditions, different and unknown for those, who were bigger in numbers. It is a well-known fact that people are always afraid of everything new that is why they try to kill it or not let it be spread. Jewish people suffered all those horrors on their own and for the most part of their history had to struggle for their freedom. In this article, we would like to speak about one of their holidays, called Sukkot. We will know, what is it in particular and when is Las Day of Sukkot in 2017.
So, as we began speaking about Jewish history, let's look a bit dipper into it. Really, the nation of these people and their religious views were strongly criticized from early times and these people had really difficult lives. It was something new, something different and those nations and religions, which has already been formed by that times, tries not to let this new thing to be developed. Many Jewish people were killed, suffered, they were banished from their native land and saw many other horrible things.
But they survived because they appeared to be strong people with strict rules and ideas. Their faith helped them to unite and survive in all these horrible conditions and "tests" of life. Due to their courage nowadays they have an opportunity to live their own lives with their rules and traditions and not to be afraid of others. The rest of the world knows, that this nation can protect them.
And now let's move particularly to the holiday of Sukkot and its history. It all is dedicated to those times when Jewish had to wonder through the desert for a long time after they left Egypt. They spent 40 days there without food and water and had to survive and they made it. Usually, this holiday can be called a Festival of Harvest.
Also at this time Jewish also celebrate the harvest of grapes. On the whole, the holiday is celebrated for seven or eight days, according to different sources. But the most common opinion that particularly eight's day is one of the most important. That is why Jewish know, what day Last Day of Sukkot in 2017 is.
Also due to the sense of the holiday, there are a couple of symbols for it. The first one is sukkah. Every Jewish knows what is it. It is a sort of a hovel, which is temporarily made only for the period of Sukkot celebrations. It is usually made of different plants, like bamboo, palm leaves, corn, etc. It is a tradition for the people to live in this temporary nature house during all time of the holiday and eat there. The exceptions can be made only in a couple of cases, for example, if there are an extremely bad weather conditions or if a person is seriously ill. In all other cases, every person must spend all the time there. Such a house is like a union with nature, which helped this nation to survive and always helps people in the whole world.
Also, there is an important symbol, which is called "four species" in Jewish. It looks like a sort of bush, made of particular tree leaves: palm tree, citron tree, myrtle tree and willow tree". They altogether represent a sort of blessings from nature. These two symbols are obligatory during the whole time of holiday and make special sense for Jewish people. Every of them knows well the history of their nation and respects it and knows, when is Last Day of Sukkot 2017.
So, as it is a usual practice, holidays, which are dedicated to different minorities or people of different religions, are usually not days off in the United States. Those, who also treat these traditions among other nationalities, may also observe the holiday freely. But Jewish, who live in their own communities, may set their own rules according to their own beliefs. As Sukkot is one of the most important holidays in their religion, their communities may allow students not visit their studies. Also, many of their offices, businesses and other organizations are closed at the day, when is the Last Day of Sukkot in 2017.
Certainly, as this holiday is a religious one, people visit synagogues during these days and read prayers, which are different from usual ones. That is why during the whole week synagogue is full of people. Also, a special ritual is held with Torah and sukkah. As Torah is kept at a special place, it is taken out of there and while holding it and sukkah, they make seven circuits and reading a special prayer. It looks rather unusual and people have a very respectful attitude towards this ritual and pray all together all the time. They are all very thankful for nature-mother because it gives life to us all and will help us to survive in any situation.
It can be hardly defined, which are the rest of traditions, which are obligatory to follow. In different areas, they may differ a bit due to the lifestyle of different communes. Some say that and obligatory thing is to eat special festive meals at the last day of the holiday. Others say that they need to wear a kittle – a traditional wear too. But different source gives different information. Nevertheless, it is more important to know what is the last of the holiday – this year it will be celebrated on October 11th, which will go on Wednesday and a usual people will make their preparations to it. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdVo25V5jEBMNW2mJ | I just realize today is 29th October....for some people nothing special about this date, but for me this date is so important because today is the world psoriasis day, dedicated for those who have been fighting psoriasis disease in their life. I'm one of millions of people who have been diagnose with psoriasis. And i never expected it will come to me. I was diagnose when I'm 12 years old, I just finished my UPSR i think... my head feel very itchy and then i realize there this white debris-like keep falling down from my head.My mom said i have dandruff problem, now worry. But then it start to get worst, my skin in hand and body have turn red and scalpy. Feels very itchy, hot and painful.The pharmacist told me that i have fungus infection and she give me ointments, but it didn't work really well.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that appears on skin, it appears when the immune system send out faulty signals that speed up growth of skin cells.
Until one day, we're driving my auntie, she's a doctor. She observe me and said,"I think you got psoariasis, and you better go for checkup". Indeed i go for checkup, and i got the most bad news i have in my life. "Adik, awak ada psoriasis plak, yang akak nak cakap ni dik, penyakit ni takkan sembuh once dah kena, just boleh kontrol je".Yeah sure, its not cancer, but its affect my life until today. When i was in form 2 - form 3 is my worst years, my psoriasis had gone to all part of my body, i think almost 40% of my skin got affected.
The hard thing is that people always give you the hard look, they dont want to get near you,some even think that you have AIDS! Yeah, once i go to 7E, the cashier didnt want any contact with me.She scared if she will got infected i think.I begin my treatment at Hospital Putrajaya, every week i got appointment, i also join the support group (people who got psoriasis change their story and experience) . And i get well,alhamdulillah. Sure it didnt fade away but its in control now. Until today, although sometimes it become worst again but then its in control. Thats the hard thing about psoriasis,you'll never know when it will comeback and how worst it gonna be.
Psoriasis teach me that you must be confident of yourself no matter how people look at you, and explain when somebody ask. And also that, i cant give up because i have psoriasis,i go to hospital, there is people who have cancer, eczema, and much worst disease than me but they live their live to the fullest.
My advice to people who have or think they might have psoriasis, seeks advice and treatments from dermatologist, you'll never too late. And people who dont understand, instead of just give us that hideous look, just ask, we'll be more happy to explain.
wah. God is testing u.
this post used to be good. I don't recognize who you might be however definitely you are going to a famous blogger when you aren't already.
There are so many choices out there that I'm completely confused .. Any recommendations? Thank you!
What i do not understood is in reality how you're not actually much more smartly-liked than you may be right now. You are very intelligent. You realize thus considerably on the subject of this topic, made me in my opinion imagine it from so many numerous angles. Its like men and women aren't involved unless it's one thing to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your personal stuffs great. All the time deal with it up! | c4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 |

BkiUdKo4eIZjgkpX826m | Tems returns with new single—"Crazy Things"
Tems is back, releasing her first song in 2021—Crazy Things—an R&B tempoed song with obvious Afrobeat production sample embedded in its instrumental, noticeable via its drumbeat and piano sounds.
The song Crazy Things is Tems way of telling a lover (probably an ex) that she does not want to be babied by him and would love to be exempted from his continuous lies and deceit. The (ex-)lover probably did this to make her feel better but Tems sings on the first verse: "All you do is try and try and try / You don't even know the kind of things / But you try to tell me all these things" concluding by telling him she will need her space from him and the relationship for the sake of her sanity.
The song definitely tenders their drifting relationship and the need for them to be separated from each other before he makes her run insane. "I just think I can do better" Tems says in a bid to cool the heat and explains why they need not reestablish the dynamic of the relationship they once shared.
Listen to Crazy Things:

Ceremonial Masks
Dance dramas performed on Java and Bali probably originated in ancient rituals honoring the ancestors and the deities of planting and harvest. Later, Hindu and Islamic religious beliefs added to the richness of the ceremonial stories.
Figure 1: Two Javanese masks
Even today on predominantly Moslem Java, trance dances are performed in the villages with a variety of animal masks. The mask (topeng) is held over a fire to draw the spirit of the animal into it and to bring the dancer under it's power.
Court dramas are more formalized and usually celebrate the lives and exploits of the Javanese royalty. Informal versions of these stories and others of Hindu origin from the Ramayana and Mahabharata are performed by traveling troupes in the Javanese countryside.
The Balinese perform a constant calendar of ceremonies in keeping with their Hindu traditions. One of the most famous dances is that of the confrontation between Rangda, the widow witch, and the Barong, who resembles a small Chinese dragon. Others are based on stories of the royal courts. A village drama frequently goes on all night with the villagers informally coming and going, eating, laughing when the comic characters make jokes at the expense of local people and enjoying the story which they have all known since childhood.
Figure 2: Two Balinese masks
Family workshops on both Bali and Java produce masks. The Balinese carve many elaborately detailed wooden masks with a wide variety of forms, reflecting the Hindu belief that everything has an active spirit.
The mask maker dries the wood and, after the carving is finished, an undercoat of white gesso is applied with the colored paints applied on top. Metallic foils are used for accents. Javanese masks from the villages are usually painted with ordinary paint. Horsehair is used for mustaches and beards, glass or mirrors may be used for eyes. Sometimes there is a back cross-brace where the performer grips the mask with his teeth.
A mask communicates some of the life of the ceremonial world that it represents. Although their features are fixed, in a performance the masks become as animated as the faces of human actors.
On Bali, the Ubud Village Tourist Center posts a weekly list of performances in the area. Most of these are by professional troupes and the dances have been shortened to give visitors a sampling of the different traditional dances. Tickets are inexpensive and available at the Center or from street vendors. No matter what the street sellers say, there are no reserved seats, so go a little early to get a good view.

BkiUeCY5qYVBjcNb2bDJ | Growth In Numbers Waiting For Home Care Packages
Jan 30, 2019 | Community News, Health, Tallaght News
Carly Bailey, the Social Democrats general election candidate for Dublin South West has recently slammed the Minister for Health for his failure to deal with the ongoing crisis in older person's services.
Figures obtained by party co-leader Deputy Róisín Shortall from the HSE show that in spite of the promises for increased funding, the number of older people on waiting lists in the CHO 7 area, which includes DublinSouth West, has increased from 973 people in May 2018 to 1,090 people waiting in October 2018. Over 6,300 people are waiting nationally. Bailey said "Many older people want to continue to live independently in their own homes but require a little assistance during the day to make this possible. As it stands, many people are being sanctioned just five hours a week help, which is just an hour a day, even if they require more support. Despite this, the government refuses to fund this vital service and the waiting list to access the service in the first place is continuing to rise".
Deputy Shortall said "The Minister announced that there would be funding for an additional 550 Home Care Packages as part of the HSE's Winter Plan. When seen in the context of these figures, 550 does not even represent a tenth of existing demand. This paltry figure is an insult to older people when so many are waiting for services." Carly Bailey said "Allowing older people to have a choice and to retain their independence and autonomy is hugely important. Home packages are also much more cost-effective. The average weekly cost for this service stands at €160, where as the cost of a week's stay in a nursing home is around €1000. To compound the issue, some older people may end up staying in hospital for longer than is medically required simply because the home support budget is so depleted. Yet a hospital bed costs approximately €6000. There is no joined up thinking around this, something that has to change if we ever want to reform our health system."

BkiUb4c5qhLAB70I3NKI | New York Now Allows "Snail Mail" Service From Any State In The Country
Published on February 17, 2016 by Vince Wiscovitch, Esq.
Ironically, as electronic filing and service become more and more common in the courts within New York, a recent amendment to the Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) addressed the situation of when hard copies of papers are mailed from outside of New York State. The amendment to CPLR 2103 now permits papers to be served by mail from any state within the United States. Additionally, the extra time that a party gets to respond to any papers has been increased by one day if the papers are mailed from outside of New York State.
Effective January 1, 2016, the definition of "mailing" contained in CPLR 2103(f)(1) was changed to include "the deposit of a paper enclosed in a first class postpaid wrapper, addressed to the address designated by a person for that purpose . . . in a post office or official depository under the exclusive care and custody of the United States Postal Service within the United States." Previously, service by mail was only complete and proper if the post office or official depository was located within New York State. Any papers, served by a party or attorney outside of New York State through the mail, were technically defective and subject to challenge. Out-of-state practitioners were required to use overnight delivery providers if they were serving papers to addressees in New York State. They no longer have to worry about such deficiency or the more stringent overnight requirements.
The recent amendment takes into consideration that mail coming from outside of New York State may take a little longer to reach its destination within the state. Accordingly, CPLR 2103(b)(2), which allows for service by mail upon an attorney representing a party, was amended to provide that "where a period of time prescribed by law is measured from the service of a paper and service is by mail, five days shall be added to the prescribed period if the mailing is made within the state and six days if the mailing is made from outside the state but within the geographic boundaries of the United States." Therefore, the so-called "mailbox rule," relating to service upon an attorney or a party, now gives the recipient one extra day if served by overnight delivery (CPLR 2103(b)(6)), five extra days if served by mail from within New York State and six extra days if the mail service was completed from outside of New York, but within the United States. CPLR 2103(b)(2). It is important to note that no extra time is permitted for service by electronic means, such as e-filing, e-mail or fax transmission, where such service is permitted.
These new rules will affect appellate practitioners as well as litigants in lower courts. So, before you calculate your own "due date" after receiving papers by mail, be sure to carefully look at the postmark to determine when and from where they were served.

BkiUe9E25V5jWIVPM8s4 | Attachment disorder is a broad term that describes disorders of mood, behavior, and social relationships that comes from a failure to form normal attachments to primary caregiving figures in early childhood, resulting in problematic social expectations and behaviors. Such a failure would result from unusual early experiences of neglect, abuse, abrupt separation from caregivers, frequent change of caregivers or excessive numbers of caregivers and/or lack of caregiver responsiveness to child's emotional and dependency needs. The term attachment disorder is most often used to describe emotional and behavioral problems of young children, but is sometimes applied to school-age children or even to adults.

BkiUc_nxK6wB9mpb12Rc | The life of a merchant in the Middle Ages was often a difficult one – journeying around the world, often in dangerous circumstances, seeking to buy and sell goods. It could be a long and stressful trip, not only for the merchant but also for his family. This can be seen in the letter written by a Jewish merchant to his wife around the year 1204.
This letter is one of the 300,000 documents that is part of the Cairo Geniza – a collection of written materials dating back to the ninth-century, which were kept in a storeroom of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Fustat or Old Cairo, Egypt. For historians, these writings – which range from religious works to business contracts, have provided an invaluable look at the lives of the Jewish community in the medieval Middle East.
I swear by God, I do not believe that the heart of anyone traveling away from his wife has remained like mine, all the time and during all the years – from the moment of our separation to the very hour of writing this letter – so constantly thinking of you and yearning after you and regretting to be unable to provide you with what I so much desire: your legal rights on every Sabbath and holiday, and to fulfill all your wishes, great and small, with regard to dresses or food or anything else. And you write about me as if I had forgotten you and would not remember you had it not been for your rebukes, and as if, had you not warned me that the public world reprove me, I would not have thought of you. Put this out of your mind and do not impute such things to me. And if what you think or say about my dedication to you is the product of your mind, believing the words of rebuke will increase my yearning – no, in such a way God will not let me reach the fulfillment of my hope, although in my heart there is twice as much as I am able to write. But he is able to have us both reach compensation for our sufferings and then, when we shall be saved, we shall remember in what situation we are now.
Now, if this is your wish, I cannot blame you. For the waiting has been long. And I do not know whether the Creator will grant relief immediately so that I can come home, or whether matters will take time, for I cannot come home with nothing. Therefore I resolve to issue a writ which sets you free. Not the matter is in your hand. If you wish separation from me, accept the bill of repudiation and you are free. But if this is not your decision and not your desire, do not lose these long years waiting: perhaps relief is at hand and you will regret at a time when regret will be of no avail.
And please do not blame me, for I never neglected you from the time when those things happened and made an effort to save you and me from people talking and impairing my honor. The refusal was on your side, not mine. I do not know whether this is your decision or that of someone else, but after all this, please do not say, you or someone else: this is our reward from him and our recompense. All day long I have a lonely heart and am pained by our separation. I feel that pain while writing these lines. But the choice is with you; the decision is in your hand: if you wish to carry the matter through, do so; if you wish to leave things as they are, do so. But do not act after the first impulse. Ask the advice of good people and act as you think will be the best for you. May God inspire you with the right decision.

BkiUdYc4eIXhrsEtjwVu | One of the goals of the LCFF is to simplify how state funding is provided to local educational agencies (LEAs). Under the old funding system, each school district was funded based on a unique revenue limit, multiplied by its average daily attendance (ADA). In addition, districts received restricted funding for over 50 categorical programs which were designed to provide targeted services based on the demographics and needs of the students in each district.
Under the LCFF funding system, revenue limits and most state categorical programs have been eliminated. The LCFF creates funding targets based on student characteristics and provides greater flexibility to use these funds to improve student outcomes. For school districts and charter schools, the LCFF funding targets consist of grade span-specific base grants plus supplemental and concentration grants that are calculated based on student demographic factors. For county offices of education (COEs), the LCFF funding targets consist of an amount for COE oversight activities and instructional programs. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbIE5i7PA9OgJC_sI | This curated road trip will see you move out from Vancouver's urbane charms and into the wilderness of Vancouver Island. Here, ultra-scenic drives, ferry hops and even floatplane flights will see you spot grizzly bears and humpback whales among hidden waterways and old-growth forests. Throughout, you'll enjoy a full spread of expert-led excursions, from island bike rides to whale-watching cruises and bear-spotting walks. You'll even stay in a floating lodge so remote that it's only accessible by seaplane.
Begin with complimentary airport lounge access before your day flight to Vancouver. On arrival, you'll make your way to your handpicked accommodation, its spa and chic rooms just a few steps from the Vancouver waterfront. While you'll have free use of your hotel's Electra-Townie bikes, we've also included a Stanley Park Bicycle tour, to get your bearings. Flung out into the harbour, it's the chance to leisurely explore rainforests, beaches and spectacular coastal routes just a hop away from the city's skyscrapers. Otherwise, be sure to spend your time here wandering Vancouver's mountain-backed waterfront and cobbled-street historic districts before tasting your way through its culinary delights.
You'll pick up your hire car today to hop over the Lions Gate Bridge and weave along the cragged coast of North Vancouver. You'll then arrive into Horseshoe Bay where an included ferry ride will see you over to Vancouver Island. Setting off back on land, you'll travel north along the coast, watching as towns slowly slip behind before arriving into Campbell River, where you'll drop your car off.

Flying out over winding straits and carpeted swathes you'll arrive at this remote floating retreat, kept stable by giant cedar booms. Here, you'll treated to a full-board spread of hearty meals, with crab and prawn harvested fresh from the surrounding glacier-melt waters. But, it's the wildlife that's the real star, showcased on a series of included excursions. The lodge's resident naturalists will bring you out to spot salmon-hunting grizzles with walks, boat rides or elevated hides.There is the option to spend longer here – please contact us for details.
Waking early, you'll head back to the bear-viewing platforms this morning in the company of your expert guide. Then, it's time for the equally spectacular return leg on the floatplane, arriving back to Campbell Rive to pick up your hire car You'll then head inland to hop over the high mountain passes of the Sawtooth Range to arrive at the rugged west coast and your chic accommodation. Suggested stops include the 800-year-old fir-tree giants of Cathedral Grove and the Mars Water-Bombers at Sproat Lake – the world's largest firefighting planes. While you'll then have forest and beach walks on your doorstep, we've also included a choice of two excursions – either a whale- or bear-watching cruise.
Travelling south, you'll head towards Victoria, the island's largest city. Along the way, be sure to pause at Chemainus – an artist community adorned with giant murals – and Duncan, the 'City of Totems'. Further First-Nations heritage can be found at the Quw'utsun' Village where aboriginal history stands strong to this day. You'll then arrive into your contemporary waterfront hotel to take in Victoria's quaint charms. In among its English-heritage architecture – best exemplified by its Renaissance-Revival Parliament Buildings – you'll discover bohemian boutiques, seafront cycle paths and whale-watching tours.
Your included return ferry leg will see you back across the water to Vancouver, where you'll drop off your hire car at the airport and board your overnight flight home. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUbA4241xg-HfkrbRA | …I'd forgotten that I even had it, until I came across it while reorganizing some comics at home. I tried glancing through it right now, and boy, I think I'll need to wait 'til I'm more awake than I am because I just can't just process the information this comic is throwing at me. I mean, I can barely run the gauntlet that is this book's cover, there's so much going on there. The stories do give the appearance of trying really hard to achieve that crazy anything-goes wackiness that all you late 1960s nutty teens were into.
…drawn by Jim Aparo, of all people, sorta/kinda circling around a vague Wally Wood-esque style.
Since opening my shop, aside from the few new comics I pick up every week, I've kept precious little for myself from any collections that have entered the store. In fact, it has primarily gone in the other direction, the vast Mikester Comic Archives having been about 1/2 to 2/3rds sacrificed to the store's back issue bins. But there have been one or two things that have made it back to my house, such as finally putting this in the ol' swamp monster collection. And there was this comic (speaking of 1960s comics trying awfully hard to be funny) which nicely filled a hole in a run.
I should have asked this during your Q & A a few months back, but exactly how vast is/was the vast Mikester Comic Archives? Anywhere close to WorldRecord-Man (the fellow in Mission Viejo Guinness recently named), or closer to "just vast enough to supply the better part of a newly-opened shop"?
Man, would I love a full-sized poster of that cover. There are not enough companies getting licenses to just make frameable covers of old comics.
I think I have an issue of this kicking around somewhere. Weird, but fun.
Does this issue have a Blooperman story in it? I've heard those are kind of fun.
So I have been following your site for a while and yes, whenever I see older appearances of Swamp Thing I wonder if you know about them. I started my copy of the latest Showcase Presents Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 5 today and in the reprint of Superboy #198 Clark and Lana are about to enter a "Horrow Haven" tent and on either side of the entrance is Man-Thing and Swamp Thing.
If you do well good and if you didn't, well you are off on a quest, right?
I dig the Aparo art.
This is pretty much the perfect kind of space age sci-fi retro wackiness for a Valentine's Day gift. Thanks!
I never guessed that was his work by looking at it! | c4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 |

BkiUfIk25V5jQSoCcx_9 | General Election 2017: Hustings planned in Burnham-on-Sea as candidates compete for hotly-contested Wells seat
PUBLISHED: 17:00 22 May 2017 | UPDATED: 08:42 23 May 2017
Sheridan Robins
Tell us which issues will influence how you will vote.
The four candidates who are contesting the Wells constituency seat will debate a number of issues at a hustings event in Burnham next Wednesday. But, who are they? Here are the details of who is running in Wells.
James Heappey.
Conservative Party.
Mr Heappey won the seat in 2015 with a 7,585 majority, marking an 3.6 per cent swing from the Liberal Democrats to the Conservatives. He described being chosen as the Wells MP as 'the biggest honour of my life'.
Liberal Democrats.
Tessa Munt.
Tessa Munt won the seat in Wells by just 800 votes in 2010. She lost out to Mr Heappey in 2015, but immediately announced her intentions to stand in the next election.
She also won the Wells seat in the Somerset County Council election on May 4.
Labour Party.
Andy Merryfield.
Mr Merryfield chairs the Wells constituency Labour Party and is a Co-operative Party member.
He has been active in the trade union movement and has taught in local schools.
Christian Peoples Alliance.
Lorna Corke.
Lorna Corke
She has lived and worked in Somerset since 1988 when her late husband's firm relocated to Bristol.
She has mainly brought up their four children in the area who attended local schools.
UKIP decided not put a candidate forward for Wells as it felt it would impact the race between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats.
UKIP has always supported Britain leaving the EU and the party believes running a candidate there would draw votes away from the Conservatives towards the Lib Dems. The Lib Dems are largely supportive of reversing Brexit.
The Wells constituency includes Burnham, Highbridge, Cheddar and Axbridge in the Mercury patch and this is the first hustings event for the area.
Anyone who wishes to ask a question can submit them before the event, which begins at 7.30pm at the Baptist Church, in High Street, on May 31.
These can be emailed to boshustings@gmail.com or can be submitted before 7pm at the church.
The hustings will be chaired by Burnham resident Alex Turco.

Bats and Big Caves in Borneo
Clearwater Cave, Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak
After our wild adventure in Indonesian Borneo, we were not quite sure what to expect from the Malaysian side of the island. In Indonesian Borneo, tourists were rare enough that we had our photos taken by gas station attendants and passersby. In contrast, Sabah and Sarawak – the two Malaysian States in Borneo – are swarming with tourists from all over the world. For the last month we have been traveling through the famous national parks here, from Kinabalu in Sabah to Gunung Mulu, Kubah, and Bako in Sarawak.
After leaving Kinabalu, we flew to the city of Miri in Sarawak and then on to the small town of Mulu. The travel day was noteworthy. First, we discovered stores in the airport of Kota Kinabalu that sold dried and frozen fish. These were located both in and out of security and you could have your purchase wrapped up as carryon luggage. It was the first time my laptop has gone through the security scanner between a block of frozen prawns and a whole fish. The flight also got progressively smellier as the items began to thaw.
Getting to Gunung Mulu National Park was relatively easy, but it was certainly out of the way. The airport consists of a tiny runway and one gate and the national park is the only destination there. As we landed, flying over the giant mountains and limestone hills of Mulu, we were sure it was worth the effort.
Gunung Mulu is a World Heritage Site and is most famous for its extensive cave formations and for a colony of two to three million bats that lives within Deer Cave, the cave with second largest cave passage in the world. It is easy to sign up for tours of the caves at the well-run park headquarters, where you can opt between a simple hike or a caving adventure.
On our first night in the park, we decided to hike down to the bat viewing platform – an open amphitheater that has been built outside of the caves so that tourists can observe the bats coming out to hunt. We arrived a bit too late, having been caught up with insects and birds we found along the way. We did however hear the bats as they flew overhead. What sounded like large gusts of wind turned out to be the wing beats of thousands upon thousands of bats on their way to hunt.
Bats in Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia.
On a good night, it is possible to see hundreds of thousands of bats coming out of the caves in a stream. This incredible sight is referred to as the "bat exodus." Due to weather, we did not witness the full spectacle until our final evening in the park, a night that made all other viewings pale in comparison. As bats streamed out in a never-ending ribbon, I could only laugh in amazement.
A ribbon of bats, Gunung Mulu National Park
On our other days at Mulu, we hiked the forest trails and went on a few of the cave tours. Some sightings of note included a group of crested fireback pheasants and some spiky forest lizards. From the canopy walkway – the longest tree-based walkway in the world – we saw shiny sunbirds and resplendent barbets.

The caves made me feel like we had gone back in time. Their enormous mouths were coated in lush vegetation and tree ferns grew in small groves in the shade of their precipices. It would not have surprised me in the slightest if a pterodactyl had flown over or if a a stegosaurus lumbered out of the cave. Inside the caves, we saw impressive formations resembling jellyfish, eagles, and even the profile of Abraham Lincoln. In Clearwater Cave, I stood transfixed as we watched an underground river coursing along the cave's rocky bottom.
Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia.
What delighted me about Mulu was also the campy atmosphere. Tourists were friendly with one another and many of the people we met were highly interested in natural history. One man had come just to see the endemic plants in the higher reaches of the park. Another man, a biology professor from Oregon, was interested in the whole spectrum of Mulu's natural wonders. I enjoyed sharing our findings with other enthusiasts and hearing about their sightings. One day, we even came across a Russian couple who had just discovered two gliding geckos engaged in a death struggle. We all kneeled on the ground, observing the two creatures as they stayed locked together – one biting an arm and the other biting an eye.

Gunung Mulu turned out to be a highlight of our travels in Borneo. Between the caves, the bats, and the other wildlife, we hardly stopped moving for five days. Our next stop . . . Kubah National Park in Sarawak.

Homeschooling Made Education Sexy. Like… TOO Sexy: Ephraim's Story
"I first discovered porn in the library. By 'porn,' though I don't mean porn porn. I mean porn like Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart meant porn: 'you know it when you see it.' Well, I saw it, and I knew it."
True Love Waits?: Lilith's Story
"As Christians, we were always told that having sex before marriage would ruin our sex lives once we got married. So, when Matt and I finally gave in to our sexual urges three years later, we felt immense guilt."
A Good Girl's Sex Education: Eden's Story
"I was fourteen when I first realized there was a big secret to be learned. My parents would speak in whispers about people. They would drop their voices when explaining something briefly and mysteriously. They would turn down the volume and stand in front of the TV screen during movie time."
No Blurred Lines: Melissa's Thoughts
"I had never heard the word 'consent' before I was married. I wasn't really taught much of the concept either. Being a child limits your choices and autonomy as it is, growing up fundamentalist Christian limits them even more."
A Shamed Sexuality: Gracie's Story
"I was told that I was responsible if a boy around me 'stumbled' and had an 'impure thought.' That's a lot of pressure and shame to put on a child. Now, as an adult, I'm having to teach myself to celebrate my sexuality and not shame myself in it. It's a slow learning process."
How I Educated Myself About Sex: Holly's Story
"As I reflect on my experience with sex education, there are probably 5 or 6 stories I could write, but they don't all fit together into one narrative. I learned about sex in little bits and pieces, and got strange mixed messages that never taught me about consent or the possibility of pleasure."
My Body, My Temple: Beth's Story

BkiUfwo5qhDCjszB7Rmt | Q: jQuery Animate height on hover toggle Ok i must be missing something stupid here but i am lost to why this wont work
$('#fleet').hover(function(){
var fleet = '2';
$("#fleetHover").show();
$("#fleet").animate({ "height": '+=' + (fleet * 30) + 'px' }, "slow");
}, function(){
$("#fleetHover").hide();
$("#fleet").animate({ "height": '-=' + (fleet * 30) + 'px' }, "slow");
});
When i hover the element it expands the height that i need. But when i mouse out it doesnt go back.
But if i do this with the height as a value and not a variable it works.
$('#fleet').hover(function(){
var fleet = '2';
$("#fleetHover").show();
$("#fleet").animate({ "height": '+=' + (fleet * 30) + 'px' }, "slow");
}, function(){
$("#fleetHover").hide();
$("#fleet").animate({ "height": "-=60px" }, "slow");
});
What am i missing here? I am slowly learning the JS/jQuery stuff can a variable not be used more than once?
Any help would be great!
A: Your fleet variable is defined inside of and scoped to the first anonymous function. It isn't accessible to the second anonymous function. One solution would be to define the variable outside of both functions:
var fleet = '2';
$('#fleet').hover(function(){
$("#fleetHover").show();
$("#fleet").animate({ "height": '+=' + (fleet * 30) + 'px' }, "slow");
}, function(){
$("#fleetHover").hide();
$("#fleet").animate({ "height": '-=' + (fleet * 30) + 'px' }, "slow");
});
A: I will remove this answer if you don't want this option.
Just use CSS3 animation with CSS hover states.
.grow {
height: 140px;
width: 40px;
position: absolute;
text-align: center;
bottom: 0;
left: 100px;

Treatment for twenty conditions available while claim considered
< Previous | Table of Contents | Next >
The 20 specified conditions are:
Achilles tendinopathy and bursitis
Cut, stab, abrasion and laceration
Internal derangement of the knee
Intervertebral disc prolapse
Joint instability
Lumbar spondylosis
Non-melanotic malignant neoplasm of the skin
Sensorineural hearing loss
Solar keratosis
Sprain and strain
Thoracic spondylosis
As part of a new trial, DVA will pay for medical treatment for 20 common conditions (see list below) while the claim for the condition is being processed.
This means that eligible claimants will not have to wait until DVA has made a determination before receiving treatment.
The Provisional Access to Medical Treatment (PAMT) trial will enable eligible claimants to receive medical treatment at DVA's expense on a provisional basis while their claim is being considered.
Approved treatment will be paid for by DVA before the liability claim is finalised, irrespective of whether the claim is ultimately accepted or not.
Eligible claimants must make a liability claim for a service-related injury or disease under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act (MRCA), or the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-related Claims) Act (DRCA) between 18 June 2018 and 31 March 2019 inclusive. Clients who have submitted a new claim after 1 July 2017 may be eligible to claim reimbursement for treatment received and paid for. DVA will write to potentially eligible clients.
DVA has recognised that certain conditions are often closely linked with clients' service and in most such cases the department would in time approve claims for their treatment.
The PAMT trial promotes the right to health by enabling treatment to start early without the need to wait for the claim to be determined.
Early access to treatment is aimed at reducing any further deterioration in a veteran's medical condition. It can ultimately speed up the recovery process, too.
The 20 conditions were chosen on the basis of claims frequently made under the MRCA or the DRCA that have a high acceptance rate.
Treatment will be available from the date the claim is made right up until the claim has been determined at the primary level or on application of appeal or review; or the end of the trial on 30 June 2019, whichever comes first.
The trial is open to former ADF members, part-time Reservists, and cadets or declared members. Some current serving members may also be eligible, including those who leave the ADF before 1 April 2019. Approval is required by the current serving member's commanding officer.
Upon submitting their claim, eligible veterans will be issued with a PAMT Treatment Confirmation Form to take to their treating medical practitioner to complete.
Clients will need to retain the completed PAMT Confirmation Form, along with their DVA application acknowledgement letter, as evidence of their eligibility for treatment at DVA's expense until they receive a White Card, or, if they already have a White Card, their card is updated.
A reminder that when the trial ends on 30 June 2019, DVA will stop paying for treatment, even if the claim has not been determined.

BkiUb17xK6EuNCwyuBcz | Travis Scott Hangs Out With Kylie Jenner, Daughter Stormi Amid Quarantine
17:10, April 11 142 0 usmagazine.com
One happy family. Travis Scott spent time with Kylie Jenner and their daughter, Stormi, in Palm Springs, California, amid the coronavirus quarantine.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 22, shared a video via her Instagram Story on Saturday, April 11, of her family making pizza in an outdoor oven by the pool.
Travis Scott, Stormi Webster and Kylie Jenner attend the Premiere Of Netflix's "Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly" at Barker Hangar on August 27, 2019 in Santa Monica, California. Shutterstock
"Wow, Mom," Jenner says in the clip while her mother, Kris Jenner, moves the pizza around with a paddle. "What's that gonna do?" the Life of Kylie alum asks to which Kris, 64, replies, "I don't know."
The matriarch adds, "I think I just should leave it alone" before Scott, 27, can be heard asking, "Is it hot?"
The "Sicko Mode" rapper also shared a video via his Instagram Story of Stormi, 2, dancing to music by the pool. "Is this your bop?" he asks while Stormi smiles up at him as Daft Punk's "One More Time" from Trolls World Tour plays.
Multiple outlets reported in March that Jenner and Scott had rekindled their romance five months after the pair called it quits in October 2019.
However, later that month, Jenner's nephew Mason Disick shut down rumors that the twosome were more than friends.
"No, Kylie and Travis are not back together," Disick, 10, the eldest son of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, said during an Instagram Live video.
In February, a source told Us Weekly that the duo — who began dating in April 2017 — were working on getting their relationship back on track.
"Everyone around Kylie and Travis is rallying for these two," the source said at the time. "They are coparenting and hanging out more and more, working on getting back together."
Despite their breakup, Jenner and Scott have remained on good terms while coparenting Stormi and celebrated major holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving and their daughter's birthday together as a family.
A second insider told Us in February, "Kylie and Travis coparent great together and those close to them are hopeful that they officially get back together, but Kylie and Travis are doing their thing and trying to keep their current relationship status low-key and to themselves at the moment."

BkiUez_xaKgQUJVNhxHm | Last week was a really good week as I went 8 for 10 and that brought my season score to 28 out of 36 of 78%.
This is a huge game for Burnley, who finally get to play a team around them for once. If Burnley is going to stay up, they need to start to pick up points at home. Sunderland is a different team this year under Steve Bruce and they are much harder to beat. This will be a close game that ends up a draw.
Arsenal finally get an "easy" game after a killer schedule to start the season. They had a big win in the Champions League and I expect them to be far to strong for Wigan.
Portsmouth are desperate for points – the Pompey chimes aren't ringing in a nice way, it sounds more like the tolling of the bell. When you've sold so much of the team, it's bound to take a while to get any momentum.
Bolton had an excellent win at Portsmouth last week and have not been playing badly; they've just failed to take the chances that they have created. Both teams are evenly matched here but I give the edge to Bolton as they are the home side.
This is a big 6-pointer for both teams who will be around the relegation zone all season. I am not sold on either team yet, but Hull has Jozy Altidore and he could be the difference here.
Liverpool have got themselves back into form and they need a win more than West Ham, as they cannot afford to fall any further behind in Chelsea. West Ham are not ready to challenge the big teams yet and this looks like a Liverpool win.
The biggest Manchester derby in years. United are coming off big wins against Arsenal and Spurs while City are undefeated after beating Arsenal last week. City's problems is who will score the goals as Mark Hughes is missing 5 forwards through injury or suspension. This should be a really good game, but the lack of goal scoring power for City costs them as United win 1-0.
Fulham are not a good road team, especially after playing in Europe in midweek. I cannot see anything but a huge win for Wolves here.
Big win for Everton in midweek in Europe, but they need to start winning league games. Luckily for them Blackburn are in town and I expect nothing less than an Eveton victory this week.
This should be a really good game as Spurs will attack Chelsea, and that is something that very few teams do. I expect lots of goals in this one, but at the end the combination of Anelka and Drogba will be too strong for the Spurs back four and Chelsea win. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdhnxK6EuM_UbrGnf | We encounter many families who are unaware of how vision therapy can be used in replacement of – or in conjunction with – several surgical procedures that are used to correct eye alignment problems. As optometrists and vision therapy practitioners, we know the value and ability of vision therapy first hand.
Eye alignment surgery is relatively common in both children and adults. In many cases, vision therapy could have prevented the need for alignment surgery. In cases where vision therapy may have been insufficient on its own, it acts as an ideal complement to surgery and drastically shortens recovery times.
Vision therapy is a non-surgical process that can have tremendous benefits for children and adults. While there are a lot of ways that vision therapy can help an adult, for the purposes of this post we're going to focus on how it helps children- specifically, how vision therapy helps correct eye alignment problems in young children.
Proper eye alignment is essential for overall eye health. In addition to the impacts eye alignment has on your appearance (and self-esteem), proper alignment encourages ideal eye teaming and coordination.
In kids we tend to see two alignment problems: strabismus, and amblyopia.
Strabismus is usually referred to as a "crossed eye". When a child has strabismus, one (or rarely, both) of their eyes appears out of alignment. Approximately 4% of children will have pediatric strabismus.
To clarify, it's normal for a newborn to have misaligned eyes. In most kids, the alignment problem will resolve itself by the time the child is six months old. If the child is older than six months and alignment problems continue to appear, even if infrequent, strabismus is likely to blame.
Vision therapy utilizes several exercises as well as eye-patching. The process strengthens the mind/muscle connection between the brain and the eye alignment/focusing muscles. It also teaches the brain how to better utilize the strabismic eye and utilize both eyes as a team.
Vision therapy is quite effective in addressing strabismus.
Amblyopia is usually referred to as a "lazy eye" and is the result of the brain favoring the one eye over the other. This favoritism can be due to several reasons, though it's usually due to the brain choosing to prioritize the information from the other (good eye) due to the amblyopic eye being unable to see properly (because of an alignment problem, or a vision problem such as a refractive error or congenital cataract).
Approximately 3% of children have amblyopia.
Vision therapy utilizes a variety of exercises, techniques, and some eye patching to address amblyopia. In particular, vision therapy emphasizes binocular vision treatment. Eye patching is used as minimally as possible in order to encourage patient compliance.
We welcome you and your child to our vision therapy clinic whenever you are ready to learn more about vision therapy and the benefits it can provide. Our optometrists will assess you or your child and determine your individualized needs.
All vision therapy programs are customized for the needs of the patient. To get the process going, schedule an appointment and pay us a visit! | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUerrxK6EuM_UbsKO4 | Nick Punto hoping 'the cycle' holds true for…
Nick Punto hoping 'the cycle' holds true for him in 2010
By Kelsie Smith | ksmith@pioneerpress.com |
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Nick Punto is used to this cycle, the every-other-year of offense that keeps him ebbing from everyday player to utility.
And if history bears out this season, Punto's bat will be decent enough to afford manager Ron Gardenhire one of his favorite tasks — writing Punto's name in the lineup card consistently.
The cycle goes like this: When Punto comes to spring training already penned in as an everyday player (in 2007, it was at third base; in 2009, it was shortstop), his ineffectiveness at the plate has bred changes in the infield. He's been forced to surrender his daily job to a midseason or free-agent addition or minor league replacement. He comes to spring training the following year fighting for a job and generally maneuvers back to everyday status.
And that is what Gardenhire, forever one of Punto's biggest advocates, hopes for — that Punto has just enough bat to complement his lauded glove.
"I know the offensive part is always really, really important, and that is, but what he brings to the table, for me, is the defensive side of it and the ability to play no matter where I put him and do a solid job," Gardenhire said of Punto, who is vying with Brendan Harris for the job at third base this year. "That's the part that I respect the most out of him. Wherever I put him, he just adapts to it and becomes probably the best infielder on the field, no matter where he's at."
John Dewan, founder of STATS Inc. and developer of a metric that calculates how many runs a player saves or costs his team on defense, agrees. From 2005 through 2007, Dewan said Punto was one of the major leagues' top 10 third basemen, saving the Twins 25 runs. In that same span, Punto saved the team nine runs at second base and eight runs at shortstop. According to Dewan, Punto's defense has dropped off the past two seasons, but that largely could be a result of decreased playing time.
Either way, Dewan said Punto's best position is third, where from 2005-07 the infielder's numbers "jumped off the page." And if Gardenhire gives Punto the everyday job at third this season, Dewan said the Twins should have a "tremendous" left side. J.J. Hardy, according to Dewan, saved the Brewers 20 runs at shortstop from 2005-07 and is an upgrade from Punto (last season's Opening Day shortstop) in the field.
Although Danny Valencia is considered the Twins' most major league-ready third-base prospect, Gardenhire has expressed doubt that Valencia is prepared for the big leagues this year, and he was sent to Class AAA Rochester on Friday. Harris and Punto will make the team, and Gardenhire made it clear he plans to play Punto regularly.
"Leading candidate? I don't know," Gardenhire said. "I like to see Nicky on the field somewhere and if we have enough offense other places, we should be able to do that somewhere. He should get a lot of playing time."
Punto, who's in the final year of a two-year, $8.5 million contract that includes a $5 million club option for 2011 with a $500,000 buyout, is aware of his manager's support. He also knows that on another ballclub, where perhaps defense isn't so highly valued and the skipper's allegiance not so eternal, his chances might not have been so numerous.
"I've been through a lot of struggles in my six years here," said Punto, who batted .290 in '06, .210 in '07, .284 in '08 and .228 in '09. "You've heard it a million times, that defense wins baseball games, pitching and defense. When we win here, it's pitching and defense and timely hitting; that's what wins game. It's a perfect marriage for me."

BkiUdoE5qWTBLvDM3AOl | Diagnosing sciatica is a process that begins with your physician understanding your pain and your symptoms.
What were you doing when it began?
What activities or positions cause you more pain?
Is there anything that you do to relieve any of your pain and symptoms?
Next, a physical examination of the affected areas in your body will help you doctor determine if you suffer from sciatica. A common diagnostic test used to diagnose sciatica is called the straight leg raise.
During this test you will be asked to lay flat on your back with your legs extended straight in front of you. The doctor will begin by slowly raising each leg and note at what elevation your pain begins. This test helps your health care provider determine where your sciatic nerve is being pinched and can help indicate what may be causing it.
X-ray or CT scans can usually help a doctor see if there are any fractures present in your spine exist, and if they may be the cause of your sciatic nerve compression. If the doctor cannot find any evidence of fractures, an MRI image is the next step. MRI's allow the doctor to see if any spinal conditions such as herniated discs or other sources of inflammation exist, and if they may be impinging on your sciatic nerve. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Russia's Azur Air to inherit aircraft from its troubled German division
Posted on October 2nd, 2018 by ES in Air Transport, Russia, Trending
Charter airline targets 4.3 million passengers in 2018 (Azur Air)
Russia's largest charter carrier Azur Air is to add 11 aircraft to its fleet by the end of 2019. This is more than previously intended, as the airline is taking the additional aircraft from its troubled Germany-based arm, the Russian airline's general director Yury Stogny has revealed to Russian Aviation Insider.
Before the end of this year Azur Air will take delivery of two wide-body aircraft – a Boeing 777 and a Boeing 767 – as well as two Boeing 737-900s. The latter, in a single-class seating configuration, will be transferred from the fleet of its financially-stricken sister carrier Azur Air Germany, which suspended flight operations in late September. Another seven aircraft, all of them Boeings, will be delivered to the Russian carrier before the end of 2019.
The airline, which specifically operates flights on behalf of the Turkey-backed Anex Tour travel company, currently has 23 aircraft on its roster: eight Boeing 757-200s, eight Boeing 767-300s, six Boeing 737-800s and a Boeing 777-300ER.
The controversial issue of placing newly arriving aircraft on the Russian national register, a move promoted by the country's authorities, is "still being discussed," according to Stogny. Azur Air is the first Russian airline to have announced its intention to transfer a significant number of its aircraft – 10 Boeing 767s and Boeing 757s – to the Russian register in 2018. But thus far only one B767-300 has been registered locally.
After a remarkable 59.9 per passenger growth rate last year, Azur Air is targeting between 4.2 and 4.3 million passengers this year, in doing so achieving an 11 per cent expansion rate Stogny reveals.
On October 1 the airline commenced the relocation of all of its operations from Domodedovo to its new Moscow base at Vnukovo. Only its service to Antaliya in Turkey, which is currently operated from Sheremetyevo, will remain there.

BkiUdTc5qdmDHWQtq7Ku | Hope you're all doing okay. Tapping this out a day early, as I'm back in the UK visiting family, and that means a Sunday opportunity to pop over and see some of the Folkestone Art Triennial and hopefully inhale a good roast lunch and a few session ales along the route... so let's get on with this.
"So it's my turn again. Every time I catch the frisbaton the thought goes through my head "well, it can't go any worse than Lana". The problem with thinking things like that is that at some point you're going to go and prove me wrong, but at the same time it makes me less nervous about sharing things just because I want to, rather than because they'll be well received, which is good because that's what Listening Club should be about.
As last week's pick was definitely at the obscure end of the spectrum, I figured I'd go for the complete opposite. Well, that's not exactly how I picked what I picked, but it fits, and it sounds good, so let's go with it, eh?
In the grand tradition of protest songs and political statements through music this is not a band that you'd usually think of, nor should you. That said, at the moment there's a lot to protest about. And on this album it becomes clear that the members of this band are a bit cross. I wouldn't quite go as far as saying this is a political album, there's also plenty of what you'd expect from this lot on here, but it is certainly the closest they come to making one.
If I go more than a minute without an "Oh Gareth!" I'll be very surprised tho." | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUfgw5qhLBktRYWIZE | Ludovicus Franciscus Hubertus (Louis) Beerenbroek (Weert, 25 maart 1805 - Roermond, 4 mei 1884) was een Limburgs politicus die burgemeester was en zitting had in de Belgische Kamer van volksvertegenwoordigers, de Nederlandse Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal en de Eerste Kamer der Staten-Generaal. Ook was hij vanuit het hertogdom Limburg verantwoordelijk voor de verkiezingen van het Duitse Bondsparlement.
Levensloop
Louis Beerenbroek stamde uit een Eindhovens geslacht van politici, waaronder zijn grootvader Judocus van Beerenbroeck die burgemeester was van Eindhoven. Zijn vader, Guibert Beerenbroeck was koopman en lid van de raad van het arrondissement Roermond. Hij was getrouwd met Marie-Barbe Painsmay. Louis Beerenbroeck trouwde met Jeanne Van Mulbracht.
Al op jonge leeftijd werd Beerenbroek in 1828 burgemeester van Weert, zijn geboorteplaats, wat hij zou blijven tot in 1840. Na de afsplitsing van België (in eerste instantie inclusief het huidige Nederlands Limburg) werd Louis Beerenbroek in 1835 verkozen tot lid van de Belgische Kamer van volksvertegenwoordigers voor het arrondissement Roermond en vervulde dit mandaat tot in 1839 het huidige Nederlands Limburg opnieuw bij Nederland werd gevoegd. Hij was een bekende persoonlijkheid aan het Brussels hof van koning Leopold I.
Van 1843 tot 1870 was hij schoolopziener voor het zesde schooldistrict van Limburg (rondom Weert), en hij was van 1843 tot 1847 lid van de Staten van de provincie Limburg. Van maart 1847 tot juli 1848 was hij lid van de Tweede Kamer, en van 1847 tot 1850 was hij districtscommissaris van Roermond. In de Tweede kamer behoorde hij tot de dertien leden die voor het verworpen wetsvoorstel stemde tot intrekking van de accijns op het gemaal van rogge.
In die tijd had het hertogdom Limburg een speciale status, en was het weliswaar in zekere mate onderdeel van Nederland, maar tegelijk was het ook lid van de Duitse Bond. In 1848 werd hij benoemd tot hertogelijk-Limburgs commissaris voor de Duitse hoofdzaken, en was hij belast met het regelen van de verkiezing van de afgevaardigden in de Rijksdag in Frankfurt aan de Main, en moest hij het besluit tot uitvoer van paarden uit de Duitse Bondsstaten uitvoeren.
Van 1849 tot zijn overlijden in 1884 (met een korte onderbreking in 1850) was Beerenbroek lid van de Eerste Kamer der Staten-Generaal, waar hij niet heel veel van zich deed horen (al helemaal weinig in de laatste jaren). Enkele stemmingen zijn wel noemenswaardig: in 1860 behoorde hij tot de 17 leden die voor de verworpen wet over aanleg en exploitatie van de Noorder- en Zuiderspoorwegen stemde, in 1869 stemde hij tegen het voorstel tot afschaffing van de dagbladzegel en in 1870 tegen de afschaffing van de doodstraf. In 1870 behoorde hij tot de meerderheid die de begroting van Nederlands-Indië verwierp, wat tot het aftreden van minister De Waal leidde.
Van 1856 tot 1875 was hij daarnaast nog burgemeester van Roermond en vanaf 1861 lid van het College van regenten van het Huis van Arrest in Roermond.
Beerenbroek werd benoemd tot Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw en in 1867 tot Commandeur in de Orde van de Eikenkroon. Ook was hij Ridder in de Leopoldsorde van België.

To keep costs low, quick fashion firms have a tendency to make use of outsourced and infrequently underpaid labor in factories positioned abroad. There's regularly little oversight of working situations or of manufacturing processes, which may be polluting the water, air, and land. Critics contend that fast fashion contributes to air pollution, waste, and planned obsolescence, as a result of low-cost supplies and manufacturing strategies it makes use of. The poorly made clothes don't age nicely, but they can not be recycled, since they're predominantly (over 60%) made of synthetics.

If you look at the billboard near doherty about the new Zip store going up you'll see it says 5? floors of Khakis but the 'is' is covered with paint so it says khak. Kak is also Afrikaans for 'sh1t'.

Another plane crashed, this time on a bridge.
On CJ's house at Los Santos, the first one (in the beggining of the game), at the ground floor, there are some magazines (at the left side when you enter the house) look at the bikes and then at the cars one, it says: "69 something here (cant understand)" also there is one Rogue there.
Still on CJ's house, go to the kitchen, look at some bootles with a black paper, it have R* symbol on it.
something like that happened to me in san fierro. like after i took my girlfriend home after our dat i heard a big explosion. then i rode to it and it was a plane and it happens all the time.
i'm sorry for going off-topic but does anyone know if there's a site where i can download SA for pc.
Goto Las Venturas Airport thru the gates. Go left to the end of the runway and at the left side is a large building. Park or stand in front of the giant door. After a few seconds, you will see the door go downwards. Inside is a DC-10 Airliner, so go to the left side of the plane and up the ramp to the front of the plane. Stand facing the plane and press triangle to enter it. Its name is AT-400 You can now carefully back the plane out. Its doesnt take to much damage to blow it up!
You will need most of the runway to take off. Its slow and lumbering (like a real one). It takes skill to land it, but it will land. I have only been able to land in Los Santos Airport without crashing.
I cant believe this hasnt been told, am i the only one to discover this?
Ahh, i figured as much, but wasnt sure , so i mentioned it.
There is also the....... Uh... I can't remember what it's called. It's a fast car though.
The fast car is a "Turismo"
Some times if you go under the police stations where all the police cars are there are new vehicles.

BkiUeAM4uBhjDKLkNDQk | Q: MATLAB: Printing a formatted table I'm working on an iteration program on MATLAB (Jacobi iteration method on solving A x = b ), which allows me to make N iterations.
So far, I can code the iteration, but I want to improve the presentation of the results.
My program's output:
jacobi(A, b, 20); %N = 20 iterations
Values of x by columns of iteration(s) (starting at 0) from left to right:
X =
Columns 1 through 9

4.0000 4.0000 4.0000
5.0000 5.0000 5.0000
Nevermind if you guys never heard of such method, but I'm wondering, if I were to insert strings such that it becomes
jacobi(A, b, 20);
Values of x by columns of iteration(s) (starting at 0) from left to right:
X =
Columns 1 through 9
iteration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0 6.7778 3.8111 5.4106 4.9648 4.9366 5.0513 4.9777 5.0046
and so on, how exactly do I do that?
I'm thinking of inserting ------ up, i | middle, and ------ below and number of iterations in the loop to let it generate as many as N desired.
So far, the closest example I've found on searches, is
arrayfun(@(x)sprintf('Hole %j',x), 1:18)','UniformOutput',false)
But still, I can't figure out how to incorporate this idea into my code. Is this kind of output possible in MATLAB?
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
I'm taking a course on MATLAB, but with just a couple of months of lessons, there's not much stuffs I have learned yet. But I'm looking for a challenge.
A: You don't really need to add strings to the matrix itself.
It's all a matter of formatting the result when displaying it. For instance, you can go about the following solution that employs fprintf and some string formatting (no loops!):
% # Initialize table properties
col_w = 11; % # Fixed column width in characters
fr_n = 4; % # Number of fraction digits
% # Print header
hdr_line = repmat(['+', char('-' * ones(1, col_w))], 1, size(X, 2));
hdr_fmt = ['|%', int2str(col_w - fr_n - 1)', '.0f', char(' ' * ones(1, fr_n + 1))];
fprintf('Iteration:\n%s\n', hdr_line)
fprintf(hdr_fmt, 0:size(X, 2) - 1)
fprintf('\n%s\n', hdr_line)
% # Print values
data_fmt = [repmat(['|%', int2str(col_w - 1), '.', int2str(fr_n), 'f '], 1, size(X, 2)), '\n'];
fprintf(data_fmt, X')
Here X denotes the matrix that you want to print (don't forget to transpose X in the last line!).
Sample output for col_w = 10 and fr_n = 4:
Iteration:
+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------
| 0.0000 | 3.4000 | -0.0556 | 1.3848 | 1.0250 | 0.9300 | 1.0558 | 0.9813 | 1.0034
| 0.0000 | 4.0000 | 0.8603 | 2.1810 | 2.0329 | 1.9030 | 2.0453 | 1.9826 | 1.9997
| 0.0000 | 2.5000 | 4.5444 | 2.1023 | 3.3195 | 2.9782 | 2.9513 | 3.0402 | 2.9831
| 0.0000 | 2.0000 | 5.3463 | 3.5175 | 4.0772 | 4.0612 | 3.9463 | 4.0266 | 3.9939
| 0.0000 | 6.7778 | 3.8111 | 5.4106 | 4.9648 | 4.9366 | 5.0513 | 4.9777 | 5.0046
A: First of all note that the command window is not really designed to give customized output. If you want to display a table with a number above each column the variable viewer (opened by double clicking a variable in the workspace) can do the trick.
However, if you want to print results while the calculation is still active you can look into one of these: Printing a formatted Table. The answer is here.

BkiUcVU5qsNCPV6YjpsK | BACKGROUND/AIMS: The controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) implemented in FibroScan® is reported to be a noninvasive means of detecting steatosis (>10% steatosis). We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of CAP in detecting steatosis among health checkup examinees and to assess its correlation with ultrasonography (US). METHODS: Consecutive CAP results were retrospectively collected. A total of 280 subjects were included. RESULTS: Fatty liver was detected in 119 subjects (42.5%) by US, whereas it was detected in 160 subjects (57.1%) by the CAP. The numbers of subjects with S0S1S2S3 steatosis according to the CAP value were 120595843, respectively. The mean CAP values were 203.34±28.39 dB/m for S0, 248.83±6.14 dB/m for S1, 274.33±8.53 dB/m for S2, and 322.35±22.20 dB/m for S3. CAP values were correlated with body weight (r=0.404, p<0.001), body mass index (r=0.445, p<0.001), and the fatty liver grade by US (r=0.472, p<0.001). Among the 161 subjects with normal US findings, steatosis was detected in 65 subjects (40.4%) using the CAP. CONCLUSIONS: The CAP seems to be useful for detecting very low-grade hepatic steatosis in health checkup examinees. Its role in predicting subjects with a risk of metabolic derangement needs to be evaluated. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUbO425YjgKJ9_cNzs | Hearing aids come in all shapes, sizes and features, which is why your hearing test is only a small determining factor in which hearing aid is best for you.
Once your hearing test results are analyzed, we'll whittle down your options based on some primary factors. After that, we recommend choosing a hearing aid that fits well and meets the needs of your lifestyle.
The severity of hearing loss. Those with minimal loss need a different type of receiver from those who have more severe hearing loss.
Speech understanding score. Sometimes, hearing aids aren't that helpful when it comes to helping you understand basic speech patterns, in which case cross-technology or a cochlear implant might be a recommendation for one or both ears.
Speech and noise score. Tests like the Quick SIN indicates the degree of hearing loss in proportion to background noise, which may indicate the need for accessories like a telecoil loop and/or wireless listening device access.
History of hearing aid success. Have you had hearing aids in the past? We they effective? What did you like or dislike about them? Your experience factors heavily into your next generation of hearing aids.
Ear anatomy. Everyone's ears are different and while most hearing aid companies design equipment with respect to generalities and personal distinction, some hearing aids simply fit better, work better and/or feel better to your ears.
Then, there are the lifestyle factors, and these play a large role in which brand and type of hearing aid we recommend.
You may love a certain hearing aid, but learn the only place it can be serviced is directly from the seller or from a hearing specialist that retires in two years. This makes repairs and replacement options trickier. Make sure the hearing aids you choose can have serviced easily and quickly.
Do you have arthritis, dexterity issues and/or notable vision loss?
If this is the case, we need to balance your ability to maneuver and insert/remove the hearing aid easily and without risk of damaging the hearing aid or yourself.
Where do you work and/or enjoy spending time?
Identifying the category that best suits you will narrow your options.
Do you work in a noisy office, construction site or warehouse? Your hearing aid selection should focus on those that eliminate background noise. Are you a singer or a musician? You may prefer one that provides more nuanced sound quality. On the flip side, if your life is spent mainly in your own home or in mostly quiet, smaller-group scenarios, there may be no need to invest in a higher-performing, higher-tech and higher-dollar option.
It is simply not true that those with minimal hearing loss only need "basic" technology while those with more severe hearing loss need all the bells and whistles. The level of technology desired has more to do with your day-to-day lifestyle and preferences. If you don't have a smartphone, for example, certain high-tech devices would be a waste of your money and time since you wouldn't have access to their most important features.
Need assistance determining which hearing aids are right for you? Schedule an appointment with the Audiology department at Palouse Specialty Physicians. We'll work closely with you to assess your needs and patiently support you in finding the best and most comfortable hearing aids for you. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

Freaky Fun Friday Part VII — A Dead End?
This entry is part 8 of 13 in the series Freaky Fun Friday.
WHERE WE LEFT OFF: Staci and Leon struck out when they tried to interview the locals. Ray, surprisingly, uncovered a pattern: approximately every three years, someone goes missing from town. The disappearances are explained different ways. Not only that, but the local Catholic priest resigned after one of the disappearances. He claimed they were the work of a cult in the nearby woods. The gang decided to interview the local priest to find out what happened.
WHERE WE PICK UP:
The next morning, Staci, Leon, Bethany, and Ray head over to the local Catholic parish and ask to speak with the priest. Eventually a middle-aged man who introduces himself as Father Collins comes out. He seems friendly if a bit wary when he sees the camera. Staci quickly explains that they're shooting a documentary, that they have all of the permits, and they just had a few questions for him. Would he mind sitting down and chatting with them? Father Collins seems unsure, but he agrees.
The camera cuts to the interior of the church. Father Collins is seated in one of the pews and facing the camera. Staci is apparently standing just off screen. Father Collins asks where Ray and Bethany had gone. Staci assures him that they'll be respectful (although her tone makes it sound as if she isn't so sure).
They chat for a while, getting his background. He's been in Garretsburg for the last ten years since the former priest resigned. Staci immediately broaches the subject:
"We understand that the former priest resigned because a little boy went missing?"
Father Collins holds up a hand. "Now hold on. I know that it's become acceptable to assume that we priests are always involved in nefarious plots against little kids, but Father Anderson had nothing to do with his disappearance. He simply became overwhelmed and suffered a mental breakdown."
"No, we understand that. But didn't he claim that there was some sort of cult out in the woods?" Staci asks.
Father Collins snorts. "Ridiculous. Like I said, I've been here ten years and I haven't seen any evidence of a cult."
"So why did Father Anderson think there was one here?"
"Because of the little boy. His name was Tyler Engler and he belonged to our parish. Father Anderson was very close to the Engler family and he took the disappearance hard. When the sheriff ran out of leads, Father Anderson started his own 'investigation.' His only theory was the so-called cult."
"What evidence did he have?" Staci asks.
Father Collins laughs. ""Evidence' is too generous. 'Conjecture' and 'guesses' is even too strong. He spotted what he thought was a pattern and ran with it. Before too long, he was so worked up he just . . . snapped. Listen, I don't know what this school project is you're working on, but if it has anything to do with Father Anderson, you're only going to wind up disappointed."
The camera cuts to Staci and Leon waiting out in the parking lot afterwards. Ray and Bethany jog up to the car.
"Where were you two?" Staci demands. "If you two snuck off to—"
"Hey, come on, give us some credit," Ray says. "While you two were playing nice with Father Collins, we did some digging on our own. I distracted the parish secretary and Bethany found Father Anderson's contact number. Why ask his replacement when you can ask the real deal?"
Staci squeals and hugs Ray. But their celebration is cut short when Leon notices the sheriff's car parked down the block. They can't see if someone's in the front seat or not, but Leon suggests they get out of there.
The camera switches back on late at night in the motel room. Someone is pounding on the door. Staci turns to Leon and asks if he knows what's going on. The camera drops onto the bed (still pointed at the door, of course). Leon creeps over to the door and opens it.
Standing outside is a bedraggled looking middle-aged man. He seems twitchy and a little off. Leon demands to know who he is.
"What do you mean? You called me!" the man says.
Staci creeps around Leon. "Father Anderson?"
The man nods. "Who else? So are you here to reveal the truth? Is someone finally going to listen to me?"
"Come in," Staci says. She then pounds on the wall.
A second later, Ray and Bethany come into the room. Leon retrieves the camera and gets it pointed at Father Anderson.
"So what can you tell us about this 'cult?'" Staci asks.
Father Anderson collapses onto the bed and coughs. "I hear doubt in your voice, young lady. But I had to come anyway. For Tyler. His disappearance is my fault."
"Why do you say that?" Staci asks.
"Because I ignored the signs around me. Because I didn't pay attention to the evil that's boiling right under the surface." He coughs again.
"Let's jettison the poetry, okay?" Ray says.
Bethany elbows him.
"I don't blame anyone for being skeptical, but Garretsburg has been poisoned for a long time and no one knows." Another long cough. "No one but me."
"Why? What's going on here?" Staci asks.
"Do you know about the pattern?" Father Anderson asks.
"1,008 days," Ray says.
Father Anderson nods. "Three lunar years. Precisely. And the pattern is about to restart soon. That's why I came back when you called. That's why…"
He breaks down in a coughing fit. As he does, the footage goes blurry and begins to break down. It stutters and skips, odd screeching noises cutting through the frantic sounds of Staci and Leon. It's hard to tell what's happening exactly, but it looks as though Father Anderson is having some sort of seizure. He collapses off the bed before the footage goes to static and then nothing.
So what happened? You'll have to wait until next week to find out for sure!

BIZ BUZZ: Globe, smart. . . and BTS
PLDT Inc.'s Smart Communications scored a decisive victory by hiring global sensation BTS to headline its marketing assault in 2021.
With millions of loyal fans, iconic South Korean artists are sought after by brands around the world. Of course, their approval or any sort of association comes at a high price and goes through a rigorous process.
This is something Smart pursued and ultimately hung up on although rival Globe Telecom, which also tapped South Korean Blackpink, made its own offer, according to our reports.
Even then, Globe had managed to get attached to the name BTS.
Some would call it smart marketing when Globe collaborated with Tiny Tan, the cartoon characters "inspired" by the members of BTS.
The phone company donated Tiny Tan masks, which were given away and made waves on social media or as a reward to subscribers.
Smart officials have been silent on these marketing tactics that are happening in plain sight. But sources from Biz Buzz said they quietly took action and even contacted South Korean company HYBE Corp., the company that runs BTS.
Needless to say, counterparts in South Korea were unhappy and we heard that some shipments of masks – from the appropriate authorized distributor wary of HYBE's wrath – have been canceled.
In fact, talks were underway for a separate marketing agreement with another licensee. We were told the case had exploded like a stick of dynamite minus the merry rhythm.

No Bitcoin endorser
The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) might be interested in opening its doors to digital assets such as cryptocurrencies in the future, if and when a framework for this has been released by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
However, this is not about peddling bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency as some social media scammers claim.
The PES has warned of a fake social media account using his identity to spark interest in bitcoin. This account, which called itself "The Philippines Stock Exchange Inc.", used the PSE logo and the Facebook account of a PSE employee as a contact person.
While that Facebook account has now been suspended, the PES has warned that the people behind the unauthorized use of its name and logo could try to trick people over and over again into creating similar fraudulent accounts in the future.
"The PSE does not sell shares directly to the public, as stock transactions are carried out on the stock exchange through approved brokerage firms. The PSE also doesn't sell cryptocurrencies, "the PSE said in a warning last week.
"Likewise, PSE employees do not promote, for investment purposes, any specific stock, any particular investment instrument or cryptocurrency," he added.
The PSE reminded the investing public to exercise caution and due diligence in dealing with social media accounts that allegedly offer investments and pose as employees of the PSE or stockbrokers.

Which companies are the best employers for young graduates in the Philippines? The top 10 list includes a large local pharmaceutical company, a fast-growing multinational consumer goods group, three local banks, a fast-growing design platform, an energy giant, a telecommunications company and a technology company.
Based on the list of GradPhilippines' Best Graduate Employers in the Philippines, the topnotcher is Unilab, run by the Campos family, a leading pharmaceutical company in Southeast Asia in terms of revenue, followed by Nestlé Philippines.
Despite losing his franchise in Congress after incurring the wrath of Pres. Duterte, ABS-CBN is still high on the list in third place, followed by graphic design platform provider Canva (co-founded by entrepreneur Fil-Aussie and youngest Australian billionaire Melanie Perkins).
The country's largest lender, BDO Unibank, ranked fifth.
"BDO considers its employees to be its most valuable assets. It employs more than 38,000 professionals with diverse backgrounds and expertise in various fields.

Electronic Archiving, a new Paradigm
In pharmaceutical R&D, the use of electronic media to generate, process, and display data and text has been slowly progressing over the past decades to the point where a substantial part of source data and original documentation is generated and stored electronically. There is now a common understanding that the accumulation of electronic source data and the evolution of electronic documents to include more "intelligence" create the urgent need for both electronic signatures and digital archiving to preserve the integrity of originals. Digital records management and archiving create a new paradigm in the world of records preservation.
American Pharmaceutical Review, Sept/Oct 2005, Volume 8, Issue 5, pages 10-16
To e-Archiving and Beyond
The pharmaceutical industry – the largest producer of regulated documentation – embraced e-technologies decades ago and has moved on to filing fully electronic marketing authorisation applications in most countries. But, paper has not disappeared from our lives and questions about the kind of records we retain and how we deal with regulatory and legal requirements, long-term retention or with business needs for knowledge management remain. In other words, how do we perform record management in today's changing world, and has the landscape changed since the earlier assessments, five years ago? READ MORE
A Robust Methodological Approach for Replacing Global Electronic Document Management
This article describes the vision, approach, and methodology used to select new vendors and prepare for implementation of the new environment. As is often the case in merging pharmaceutical companies, new technology, harmonized processes, and process efficiency across the integrated departments are driving the change. Mergers pose problems as the staff and tools are integrated from two previous companies. The selection of future systems must take into account the heritage from each and help form these companies into a new unit that can leverage the best of both worlds. In this case, the existing tools for electronic document management (EDM) and submission management (SUBM) were not found to be sufficient for the new business... READ MORE
How do you pilot a business like Pharmaceuticals? Our marketing model is a unique combination where one party gives permission to market the product (health authorities), another party selects the product (prescribing physician), a different party decides the price (government), another party uses it (patient), and yet another pays for it (insurance). How do you make sure that spending a billion dollars today will, in 20 years from now, produce a drug which will help people fight disease, will reimburse all its development costs – as well as the costs of 99 other unsuccessful drugs – create a profit for the shareholders, and make the company a place where people want to work and feel happy? .

Why small pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can (and should) acquire an EDMS
For the past two decades most, if not all, documentation supporting the development, registration and marketing of pharmaceutical products has been generated in electronic format. The large companies realized very early the need for some system that would allow the management of these documents and their secure preservation. These tools were described under the acronym of EDMS (electronic document management systems). READ MORE

Political incorrectness abounds as San Francisco's LGBZ community runs afoul of City Hall.
Join the Lamplighters for their 45th annual Champagne Gala. Political incorrectness abounds as San Francisco's LGBZ (Lycanthropes, Ghouls, Bloodsuckers and Zombies) community runs afoul of City Hall.
When human Mary Anne Rice (Jennifer Ashworth) moves into Murgatroyd Manor – a boarding house for the LGBZ community – she is accepted by the undead occupants and falls in love with the handsome half-vampire Strephula (Chris Uzelac)… but why does she need a suitcase full of weapons? Why does Mayor Navin Gruesome (F. Lawrence Ewing) have such difficulty hiring a vampire slayer on Craigslist? And what exactly does a vegan zombie eat?!
As always, this much anticipated annual treat features original lyrics set to the music of Sir Arthur Sullivan, performed by many of your favorite Lamplighter singers.
Come early to bid at the silent auction offering one-of-a-kind items, including a walk-on role in a future Lamplighters production. Join the cast after the show for a complimentary champagne reception.
But don't be scared, these monsters just want to be accepted in the community like me and you.
Lamplighters Music Theatre was founded in 1952 to produce the comic operas of librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan, and is now recognized as one of the world's pre-eminent Gilbert & Sullivan companies. The Lamplighters' repertoire includes all the surviving works of these creative geniuses, as well as a select group of comic operas and classic musicals by other
composers that exemplify their artistic vision.

Reimagining Respiratory Protection
Challenge ended
Up to $100,000 in grants
Awardee
Why this Challenge matters
Boulder, Colorado-based Air99, led by Richard Gordon, is commercializing a patent-pending respirator that aims to fit, look and work better than conventional N99 pollution and flu masks. The aesthetically-striking design conforms better to the wearer's face for a tighter seal, has more surface area for less breathing resistance and sports an adjustable harness for greater comfort.
The Reimagining Respiratory Protection QuickFire Challenge invites participants to come up with innovative solutions that help better protect the public from infectious agents and the threat of pandemics.
Respirators have remained largely unchanged for almost 50 years, despite major shortcomings identified within the current design and increasing threats of air pollution and airborne epidemics. In an age of disruption spurred by technological advances, it's time to take action - to attempt to prevent needless suffering and save lives by improving respiratory safety.
The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a component of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLABS, working with Janssen Research & Development, LLC, announce the Reimagining Respiratory Protection QuickFire Challenge. We're calling on innovators to revolutionize respiratory protection, to submit novel ideas to better protect against the inhalation of harmful infectious agents. Is there a household item that could transform into a lifesaving face mask during an emergency? Could new textiles or wearable technologies be incorporated into face masks to improve performance?
Up to two innovators will be awarded up to $100,000 in grant funding, access to the Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLABS ecosystem, and support in developing their ideas from BARDA, to support health security products and technologies in biotechnology, life science research, and medical innovations as they navigate research, development, and regulatory pathways.
Johnson & Johnson Innovation has an ongoing commitment to global pandemic preparedness efforts, as one of the few innovative healthcare companies in the world today that is actively engaged across multiple disease areas and approaches that are central to this challenge.
A 2016 United Nations reportconcluded that, "The world remains ill-prepared to address the threat posed by epidemics," urging action ahead of future pandemics to avoid devastating consequences. Epidemics are not only possible, but probable, with four in recent memory including the Ebola virus in West Africa. The same UN study points to mathematical modelling by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which shows that a virulent strain of an airborne influenza virus could spread to all major global capitals within 60 days and kill more than 33 million people within 250 days.
Traditional respiratory protective devices were designed for use in occupational settings and are prohibitively expensive for global adoption. Disposable versions, such as N95 respirators, are only available for adults, must be fit-tested to ensure proper functioning, and are uncomfortable to wear[1].
Just how big of a problem is this? Given an outbreak of a novel or newly emerging respiratory disease, respiratory protection may be a crucial measure to protect healthcare workers and the general public. Yet, demand for such products in influenza or other respiratory disease pandemic would far exceed worldwide supply.
Yet, decades have passed without a significant change to design. Together, we have the power to prevent needless suffering and start saving more lives by improving respiratory safety for everyone around the world.

Jeffrey Franklin Kent Wiki Biography
Jeffrey Franklin Kent was born on the 7th March 1968 in Bellflower, California USA, and is a former baseball player who played for 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1992 to 2008. The player was named the MVP of the National League in 2000, and was chosen for the All – Star Game five times, winning four. Kent is also the winner of four Silver Slugger Awards.
How much is the net worth of Jeff Kent? It has been estimated by authoritative sources that the overall size of his wealth is as much as $50 million, as of the data presented in the middle of 2017. MLB is the main source of Kent's fortune.
Jeff Kent Net Worth $50 Million
To begin with, Jeff Kent played baseball in Edison High School in Huntington Beach. Then, he played baseball for the team of the University of California at Berkeley before being selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the amateur draft in 1989.
After four seasons in the minor leagues, he was invited to spring training and became a part of the season's starting squad in 1992. He debuted in a match against the Baltimore Orioles, making his first hit (a double) in the sixth inning against Jose Mesa. He was transferred to the New York Mets in the summer of 1992, in exchange for pitcher David Cone. Kent played well in his time with the Mets, but acquired a poor reputation because of his temperamental character and isolationist attitude. Before the transfer deadline for the 1996 season, Kent was traded with Jose Vizcaíno to the Cleveland Indians, in exchange for Carlos Baerga and Álvaro Espinoza, and at the end of the season, he was again transferred with Vizcaíno and Julián Tavárez , this time to the Giants of San Francisco, a movement very unpopular due to the departure of Matt Williams from the Giants to Cleveland. With the Giants, Kent's career took on a new air. In 1997, batting behind Barry Bonds in the lineup, he averaged .250 and made 121 RBIs. He consistently remained among the leading RBIs for the next five seasons, and his contribution was recognized in 2000 by being rewarded with the MVP award, recording .334 on average, 33 home runs and 125 RBIs, plus a notable defense. In 2002, Kent averaged .313, 37 home runs and 108 RBIs.
In 2002, Kent decided to leave the team, signing a contract of two years and $19.9 million with the Houston Astros. In 2004, during the National League Championship Series, Kent hit a three-run home run, allowing the Astros to advance in the series (3-2) against the Cardinals of San Luis, then at the end of 2004, Kent signed a three-year $21 million worth contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He had a good season in 2005, hitting .289 with 29 home runs and 105 RBI, leading the team in most offensive categories. At the end of the 2005 season, he signed a contract extension until 2008, but a year later announced that he was retiring as a professional player.
Since retirement, Jeff has appeared in several TV sports-related and reality shows, and also has a 4,000-acre ranch in Tilden, Texas. In 2008, Kent bought the Lakecliff Country Club in Spicewood, Texas, and he also owns a chain of motorcycle and ATV dealerships – Kent Powersports.
Finally, in the personal life of Jeff Kent, he is married to Dana, and they have four children.

Tukde Tukde slogans: Delhi Police ready with draft charge sheet, Kanhaiya, Umar Khalid named as main accused
Apart from Kanhaiya, Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya, the charge sheet also reportedly mentions other 8 Kashmiri Students, including some students of Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia.
Photo- DNA
After almost three years of the February 2016 event at JNU for the commemoration of terrorist Afzal Guru, Delhi Police's special cell is going to submit the charge sheet at Patiala House Court shortly. As per a report in The Indian Express, Kanhiaya Kumar, who was the JNUSU president at that time, Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya have been reportedly named as the main accused in the draft charge sheet.
The row which dates back to February 2016, hit the national headlines when videos of students raising anti-India and pro-Afzal Guru slogans came to surface. The slogans were allegedly raised by students of JNU and other Kashmiri students. At that time, Delhi police had nabbed student union AISF member and JNU Student Union President Kanhiya Kumar, Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya after the case was filed against them under Sections 124-A for sedition and 120-B for criminal conspiracy. They were later released on bail.
The charge sheet along with these three, also mention other 8 Kashmiri Students, including some students of Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia. According to reports, the police have gathered evidence against these persons. They also said that evidence is also backed by data collected from accused's Facebook profiles. The raw footages of the event with Delhi Police also came out as undoctored by Central Forensic Science Laboratory. This is also going to be submitted as evidence.
Along with these students, the name of other 32 also appears in the charge sheet, including the name of Former vice-president of Student Union Shela Rashid. But, according to police, they don't have enough evidence to substantiate charges against them.
The row had gained momentum after Congress President Rahul Gandhi and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal along with communist leaders openly supported the accused students and had condemned the arrests. Kanhiaya Kumar and even many leftist media outlets have time and again challenged the government to come out with the charge sheet and prove that charges against students.
Kanhiya Kumar is also reportedly going to contest 2019 Lok Sabha elections, on a CPM ticket from Begusarai of Bihar. Recently, an FIR was lodged against him by the hospital administration of Patna's AIIMS following an altercation with junior doctors. He was also accused of being involved in a violent clash with the organisers of a Durga Puja committee in Begusarai.
The other accused, Umar Khalid is a son of a SIMI terrorist and had also openly condemned the killing of terrorist Burhan Wani in Kashmir and fanned anti-India sentiments.
Vrinda Grover, Kanhaiya Kumar's lawyer, said that she was not aware of the status of the charge sheet and asserted that the case against Kanhaiya is politically motivated as he is set to contest 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
The charge sheet comprises of around 100 pages and reportedly contains forensic reports and technical evidence. As per reports, the charge sheet has been sent to the public prosecutor for vetting and will soon be filed in the Patiala House Court.

Criminal offenses under Domestic Violence in Georgia
Although it is a general belief that Domestic Violence occurs between a boyfriend and a girlfriend or a husband and a wife, this is not usually the case in the state of Georgia. An act or a threat of a violent act that ensues between people who are living under the same residence can lead to a Domestic Violence charge. This means that Domestic Violence may occur between family members, people sharing a room, and roommates- whether it is a temporary room sharing or permanent sharing.
Domestic Violence is listed within Georgia code 19-13-1 as any felony or any acts under the below-listed categories. These acts are what domestic violence officers look for when they respond to a Domestic Violence call or allegation
Criminal Damage to Property
Criminal Trespasses
Stalking and Aggravated Stalking and
However, the term Domestic Violence shall not include disciplinary actions given by a parent to their children such as in the form of punishments, restraints, and detention.
Self Defense under Domestic Violence
Depending on the facts presented by the accused under a Domestic Violence hearing, there are some reasonable defenses that can reduce or totally discharge them from the case. In cases where the accused was attacked and all they could do at the moment was to defend themselves from the attack, but the attacker claimed they were the real attacker. People are quick to point accusing fingers at people charged for Domestic Violence. Despite this, self-defense does not count as a crime under it.
A Domestic Violence act charge will most likely start by the issuance to the accused of a protective order. This protective order comes in temporary forms that can affect the accused life greatly. For one, they could be barred from going back home to their family. Secondly, they could be denied the rights of seeing their children. They may also lose access to some of their rights such as their marital assets. The greatest fear of a temporary protective order is that it may be permanent after the proceedings. Due to this, an accused needs to seriously protect themselves. The impact a protective order can have on their life may extend to losing their child custody rights.

BkiUb_vxK0iCl4WD3RZW | YouTube star Logan Paul gets into hot water for insensitive dead body video
By Usama Jawad Neowin @@UsamaJawad96 · Jan 2, 2018 07:16 EST · Hot! with 60 comments
YouTubers sometimes face a lot of backlash for posting content that offends a portion of their viewers. Recently, Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, got into hot water for using a racial slur in a video. The popular YouTuber was not only criticized by the general public but also by several game developers.
Now, another YouTuber with a high subscriber count is under heavy fire for publishing a seemingly insensitive video featuring a suicide victim's dead body.
Image via J-14
American vlogger Logan Paul, who is on a trip to Japan, posted a video of his visit to the country's infamous Aokigahara forest, a site where people commit suicide. The 15-minute video, which according to Paul, was meant to focus on the "haunted" aspect of the forest, instead turned out to be one of the most controversial videos on YouTube once Paul's group discovered a dead body.
The video featured close-ups of the body with only the face blurred out, and also a couple of insensitive jokes, which incurred a few laughs as well.
The video in question was not monetized, and was taken down once it started receiving criticism. However, it is important to note that the video was not only visible to Paul's 15 million subscribers, but also anyone who has access to YouTube, which means that it garnered millions of views before it was finally taken down.
Logan Paul later issued an apology on Twitter, saying that:
Where do I begin... Let's start with this - I'm sorry. This is a first for me. I've never faced criticism like this before, because I've never made a mistake like this before. I'm surrounded by good people and I believe that I make good decisions, but I'm still a human being. I can be wrong. I didn't do it for views. I get views. I did it because I thought I could make a positive ripple on the internet, not cause a monsoon of negativity. That's never the intention. I intended to raise awareness for suicide prevention and while I thought "if this video saves just ONE life, it'll be worth it," I was misguided by shock and awe, as portrayed in the video. I still am.
I do this sh*t every day. I've made a 15 minute TV show EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past 460+ days. One may understand that it's easy to get caught up in the moment without fully weighing the possible ramifications. I'm often reminded of how big a reach I truly have & with great power comes great responsibilities... for the first time in my life I'm regretful to say that I have handled that power incorrectly. It won't happen again. I love everyone. I believe in people. I'm out here. Peace. #Logang4Life
The internet hasn't responded well to the YouTuber's apology, claiming that he's a "terrible" person who just published the video for attention. Others have also noted that the apology isn't because Paul felt sorry for the content of the video, but because of the harsh criticism that it received. Other influential YouTubers such as Marques Brownlee and PewDiePie have also called out Logan Paul for his insensitive video, saying that he doesn't represent the entire YouTube community.

BkiUd545qhDBeSTLFPBA | Plastic Solutions from the Producers
[fa icon="calendar'] Aug 22, 2011 11:29:28 PM / by Carol Pierson Holding
By Carol Pierson Holding
Americans are as addicted and repelled by plastic as residents of Los Angeles were by cars in the 1960s. Los Angeleans had to experience stinging eyes and hacking coughs, then school closures, closed government offices and businesses before the city and state governments enacted legislation that tightened emissions standards.
With plastics, equally potent images come to mind: Plastic bags covering park hillsides, the island of plastic in the Pacific Ocean, plastic bottle dumps, and the much-publicized health risks associated with plastics. This includes the latest from Utne Reader, whose piece on healthy sex toys sums up the dangers posed by the plasticizer phthalates used in jelly-rubber sex toys (the same ingredient recently banned in teething rings): Possible infertility, hormone imbalances and other health problems.
Outrage is growing, especially those who remember pre-plastic grocery stores and rubber teething rings. How could plastic have been allowed to take over our lives and endanger our loved ones?
But plastic bottles are just one scourge. Regulation can't be passed on a national level because of the objections from the massively powerful beverage industry, which spent nearly $60 million on lobbying in 2009 and $42 million in 2010. Instead bottle recycling mandates pass at the city or state level, where people experience the damage.
But now, anti-plastic bottle sentiment in the US is reaching a tipping point. Beverage companies are sensing the outrage from their customers and, fearing Federal legislation, are finally addressing it. It's exactly what's happening with cars.
A new report from the advocacy group As You Sow cites two companies, both with predictably higher than average overall environmental ratings, for sponsoring regulation on how to deal with empty plastic bottles. The Coca-Cola Company and Nestlé Waters North America are pressing publicly for "state extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws for post-consumer packaging similar to those in place in Canada and Europe."
Not only are beverage companies stepping up to improve bottle recycling, business innovators are looking for opportunities to make money from the ocean of discarded plastics that aren't recycled. Components of the Ford Focus car, such as underbody shields, wheel arch liners and air cleaner assemblies, are created in part from old pop bottles and milk jugs. Not only does this re-direct plastic that can't be recycled into more bottles, but it replaces car parts made of potentially non-recyclable materials.
Producer-led environmental innovation is also happening at even more promising stages of the plastics life cycle. For example, cleaning products: Replenish is marketing reusable cleaner bottles shipped without the 99% water that fills most cleaner bottles. Instead, a reservoir shoots pre-measured concentrate into the bottle for consumers to mix with their own tap water. Founder Jason Foster plans to license his design to other companies as well.
The tipping point on plastic bottles is also being carried along by cultural changes. The trend to smaller houses means less storage space and appreciation for smaller packaging and less plastic. Washing machines with an Energy Star rating require HE (High Efficiency) detergent, which comes in smaller, sometimes non-plastic containers. A reverse vending machine is envisioned to allow easy bottle returns and promises higher recycling compliance.
These innovations all require collaboration between citizens, government and producers. We've watched the auto industry lower their mileage and produce hybrids and electric vehicles. The beverage market, though further behind, is working seriously on its own problem – plastic. It's nice to see all parties invested in bottled beverages — even producers — join in the solution.

BkiUd184eIXh4qTE57qO | Lewes District Weekly Police News and Alerts
Wealden Neighbourhood Policing Team News and Alerts
Police are appealing for witnesses to a burglary at a house in Hailsham.
Officers were called on Tuesday (November 24) to reports of a break-in at a property on The Grove.
The burglary is known to have happened sometime between Friday evening (November 20) and Tuesday morning, with initial enquiries leading police to believe it took place on the Monday night (November 23).
Nobody was present in the house at the time, but tools worth more than £2,000 were taken from inside the premises. This includes a number of Hitachi products – a drill, impact driver, circular saw, grinder, jigsaw, SDS drill, batteries and a charger – as well as a Makita mitre saw, site radio, track saw and pneumatic brad gun. A Paslode nail gun was also stolen.
Police investigating the matter are keen to hear from anyone who saw what happened, saw any suspicious behaviour in the area at the time or who may come across any of the products mentioned.
Officers would also like to speak to anyone who may have any relevant CCTV, doorbell or dash cam footage from the area, particular from The Avenue.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting serial 1376 of 24/11. Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Your Local Teams UPDATED Online
The 'Your Area' section on the Sussex Police website is newly created and published so it's now easier for our communities to access information about their local Neighbourhood Police Teams (NPT) and feel more connected.
In the 'Your Area' section members of the public can find out who is in their local Neighbourhood Team from the District Commander to their local PCSO. There are now links to local district social media for people to follow their local districts.
Previously the only information that people in our communities could find out was where their local police station is and a link through to the Police.uk pages. You can view the new 'Your Area' section here.
Sussex Police have been urging businesses to think about increasing their security and taking burglary crime prevention advice during the second national lockdown.
Sussex remains one of the least likely places to be burgled in the country, and our rate for solving these crimes is increasing, which is great news for communities. A campaign was launched earlier this month to help equip business owners with the knowledge on how to practically secure and protect their shop or commercial property while it is closed due to the Covid-19 lockdown and to prevent themselves from becoming victims of burglary.
Sussex Police is continuing to show its commitment to bring offenders to justice for burglary and has had these recent successes:
Ashley Symes was recently caught on CCTV, burgling a property in Climping at the beginning of August. He had entered via the backdoor and later identified correctly. He was charged with burglary offences, and after pleading guilty, he received a 29 month prison sentence
Anthony Morgan was arrested for burglaries occurring at the end of July. He was a prolific burglar who committed these offences in order to fund a drug habit, and once he was arrested and charged after a full admission to the offences, he also admitted a further three burglaries and one count of criminal damage. At court, he was jailed for four years and eight months.
Jack Heslip was arrested and charged with seven burglaries in the East Grinstead area in September. He has been remanded in custody awaiting sentencing for the offences.
Paul Tulley was arrested and charged with burglary at the beginning of November after a resident was woken up by a man who had broken into his home. The intruder ran off but he was later detained. Tulley has been remanded in custody by the court and he was awaiting a further court appearance.
Detective Chief Inspector Alasdair Henry said: "We are seeing some fantastic results recently for burglary crimes, and I hope this goes a long way to reassuring Sussex residents that we take this type of law-breaking very seriously in the county. We are really keen that business owners now bolster their security in light of the second lockdown, and we have a great wealth of information on how to do this on our website. We know that extra security can eat into profits, but sometimes it is a small price to pay to guarantee the safety of your livelihood."
Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne said: "I am pleased to see Sussex Police being so proactive in their approach to tackling burglary and safeguarding our local businesses. This has been a particularly challenging time for our high streets and it's encouraging for residents to see officers solving these crimes, making arrests and robustly reprimanding burglars. Sussex Police are sharing ways in which we can make our premises safer during this second lockdown period. I'm urging residents and business owners to heed this advice."
We have a range of resources and information on the Sussex Police website, which includes details of monitored alarms, CCTV and other crime prevention advice.
If you see a crime in action call 999 or if you have any information about a crime, report online or call 101.

BkiUdfE4ubnhDSvJRXSI | Okay.. most of you have already been watching 'Glee', but I just started. I'm about 2/3 through the first season. I've been downloading two episodes at a time to my iPod and this is where the trouble started.
You see, I'm addicted to this show and I'm staying up entirely too late every evening to watch the downloaded episodes. It's all Sue Sylvester's fault. I am fascinated by her personal quirks/personality defects etc. I can't wait to see just how much more of a horrid human being she will become in the next episode.
So every night I watch two episodes of this karmic push/pull between these two characters on a t.v. show and I've been oversleeping and running late in the mornings. I finally figured out what was drawing me into this addiction- It's a complete emotional replay of my first few years in the workforce with Sue's character being represented by a far more experienced admin and I'm the character, Will.
So, please don't tell me where the characters are headed. I want to watch it unfold on my own. I already know how my experience has played out. I'm right on time with my life path, my skills and my ambitions. I can spot a 'Sue Sylvester' miles away, now! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUb0TxK1yAgWt79B3z | Support KCM. Buy Tickets for KCM Night at the Kenosha Kingfish.
We are a media resource and provider, engaged in the social good and built on relationships, education, awareness and the generosity of our producers, volunteers, donors and sponsors. If you're in the Kenosha area, Kenosha Community Media would like to work with you.
We provide training in digital media production and post-production; the means to broadcast not-for-profit messages over our cable television channel; coverage of many major events, including the Civic Veterans Parade, Kenosha Literacy Council Spelling Bee, HarborPark Jazz, Rhythm & Blues Festival, Kenosha Expo and more; assistance to other nonprofits, so they may effectively communicate their mission and activities to a wider audience; and a balanced forum for discussion and debate on the topics of the day.

for Media Center and The Hub video production
studios. Contact Kenosha Public Library for use
of the computer lab at The Hub.
For over 30 years, citizens and nonprofits of the Kenosha area have visited the public access station at 1403 Washington Road in order to learn to operate video production equipment, create shows of local interest, and submit them for broadcast over a public access TV channel.
Prior to 2004, a City of Kenosha committee provided oversight to the public access station and channel, while the cable company assigned their staff to maintain daily operations for both station and channel.
In February 2004, Kenosha Community Media, Inc. (KCM) was incorporated in the State of Wisconsin, taking over the duties of the City committee, and appointing a volunteer Board of Directors. In 2005, KCM hired its own staff to operate the station, which it re-named as the Kenosha Media Center.
This Center has undergone two major capital improvement projects in 2006 and in 2016, bringing in new production and post-production equipment for public use. In 2017, KCM acquired a new, portable production system for multi-camera coverage of local events.
On June 1, 2018, KCM and the Kenosha Public Library opened The Hub, a digital media lab, at the Southwest Library, 7979 38th Avenue, for public use. The Lab includes a media production studio and a computer suite with advanced software for media and graphic design. To tour or use the production studio, call (262) 656-8497. To tour or use the computer suite, make your reservation at any Kenosha Public Library branch or use its online reservation system.
KCM Board of Directors serve in a volunteer capacity. The Board typically meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:00 pm at Northside Library, 1500 27th Avenue, Kenosha. Meeting dates and locations may vary from time to time. Please call (262) 656-8497 to verify meeting date and location. Board members include:
Dean Romano
Jodi Diderrich Miskinis
Cassie Christianson
Daniel Stika
Marcia Siehr
Member

KCM is principally funded by the City of Kenosha through a portion of the payments that the City receives from Spectrum for use of public rights-of-way. KCM applies these funds to provide staff, acquire insurance, repairs to equipment, and for office supplies and other operational costs.
KCM earns additional income through grants, donations and sponsorships of its video coverage of local events. Please consider making a monetary gift to KCM to help them to continue to share independent media and to train tomorrow's talent in media production. Your donation is tax-deductible.

We ended up searching multiple websites and still didn't find the code list we needed. So we used multiple sources and gathered up the universal remote control 3 digit codes for most TV, VCR, Satellite, DVD, DVR and Blu ray players.

The company's US and Canada segment markets and sells action figures, arts and crafts, and creative play products; electronic toys and related electronic interactive products; fashion and other dolls, infant products, play sets, preschool toys, plush products, and sports action blasters and accessories; and vehicles and toy-related specialty products, as well as traditional board games, and trading card and role-playing games primarily in the United States and Canada. Many individual investors will approach the stock market from various angles. Buyers and sellers help determine the price of each stock, and the more buyers and sellers a particular stock has interested in it, the more liquid the market will be. As we move into the second part of the year, everyone will be watching to see which way the stock market momentum shifts. Volume gives an investor an idea of the price action of a security and whether they should buy or sell the security.
As Reuters reports, the lowered net interest income outlook "comes at a time of uncertainty for the fourth-largest USA lender following the abrupt departure of former Chief Executive Tim Sloan last month". SevenBridge Financial Group LLC now owns 1,200 shares of the financial services provider's stock valued at $34,000 after purchasing an additional 1,000 shares in the last quarter. Investors will be closely watching stock action over the next few sessions to see how the stock performs. LSXMK now shows 7.11% as its year to date performance. It previously forecast between a 2 percent rise and a 2 percent fall.

BkiUdHs4ubnjot1QXqbL | The 6 Best Jazz Clubs in Michigan!
There's something undeniably wonderful about jazz. Whether smooth or upbeat, that wonderful combination of small-scale orchestra and American history flows through our very souls like a cool river during an August noontime. So for those who want to find out where some of this joy can be had, stop on in, take a load off, and try out these 6 great jazz clubs in Michigan!
Cliff Bell's, Detroit, MI
Detroit is pretty much the center of jazz in Michigan, owing in part to its ample population and its Motown connections. Among the host of jazz clubs in Michigan is Cliff Bell's, perhaps the premiere such location in not just Detroit, but in Michigan. Featuring a full dinner menu as well as a host of beverage options, this jazz club is home to a wide variety of jazz acts, allowing patrons access to some of the biggest names around.
Poppycock's, Traverse City, MI
Finding jazz clubs outside of Detroit is no mean feat, but Traverse City supplies us with one great option in Poppycock's. Operating since 1989 in an historic building that's been host to a variety of businesses, Poppycock's offers full dinner service and a variety of drink specials. While its event schedule isn't strictly jazz, reports suggest that it's been host to such affairs, so keep an eye on its upcoming events calendar for the latest word.
Speak EZ Lounge, Grand Rapids, MI
Grand Rapids is home to the West Michigan Jazz Society, so it's a safe bet that at least one jazz bar could be found here. Thankfully, that's just the case with the Speak EZ Lounge, a jazz bar that not only offers jazz, but also some thoroughly unusual menu items like calamari steaks from a Bartrami Giant Squid. That combination of exotic menu range and jazz makes this a destination to check out.
Brooklyn Boyz, Bay City, MI
Brooklyn Boyz in Bay City has been serving jazz with a side of pizza since they obtained a liquor license back in 2015. When it's not featuring jazz—and sometimes when it is—it's also a top-notch Italian eatery that features some dazzling options in pizza service.
Indigo Venue, Saginaw, MI
Indigo Venue isn't always a jazz club. This Saginaw venue promises upscale entertainment for a more mature crowd, but that also includes comedians and similar fare as well as jazz. This versatility in the lineup coupled with some impressive drink selections make it an occasional jazz club well worth checking out, especially for those who are already in the Saginaw area.
Baker's Keyboard Lounge, Detroit, MI
We started with Detroit, and so we end with Detroit and a trip back to Baker's Keyboard Lounge. Billed as the world's oldest jazz club, Baker's has been in operation since 1934, delivering a thoroughly noir-style experience in Art Deco surroundings. Don't make the mistake of thinking that time has dulled Baker's sensibilities, though, because this bar not only offers jazz, but an impressive dinner menu as well as an array of drink choices.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's Statement and Answers to Media Questions during a Joint News Conference on July 2, 2019 (Excerpts)
Governments » Russia » Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Question: Today you noted the importance of preserving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Could you comment on yesterday's statement by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif that Iran has expanded its enriched uranium stocks against the backdrop of US-Iranian disagreements regarding the nuclear deal? Does this mean that the JCPOA has been wrecked?
Sergey Lavrov: Of course, we can hear the assessments of current developments, and certain questions arise. But we must grasp the entire picture in order to see what is happening today. We should not view various actions of any party to the JCPOA in isolation because this will not help us draw the right conclusions.
Yesterday, our colleagues form the European Union suggested that our missions at international organisations in Vienna pass a statement urging Iran not to violate its obligations. At the same time, the draft statement said nothing about the reasons for such actions that we are now witnessing and the decisions that have been announced in Tehran.
Bear in mind that the JCPOA is a comprehensive package of obligations and rights of all parties to this agreement. Iran's voluntary obligations to maintain the maximum ceiling of low-enriched uranium and heavy water stocks are part of this process. This obligation is inextricably linked with Iran's right to enrich uranium stocks to 3.67 per cent under the JCPOA and to manufacture heavy water. Iran had the right to sell surplus amounts in excess of the established ceiling. This was done rather successfully until now, including after the US withdrawal from this programme on May 10 last year. But Iran continued to maintain preset ceiling and to supply surplus amounts to countries that took them away from it, including Russia.
Not so long ago, in May of this year, the United States adopted a new package of sanctions that forbade anyone to buy Iran's surpluses of low-grade uranium and heavy water. Thereby, the US has, in fact, forbidden all UN member states to implement the UN Security Council resolution that approved the JCPOA, which is aimed at solving the Iranian nuclear problem.
This is why it is necessary to look at the entire picture rather than focus on what Iran did today. I would like our European colleagues to realise in full measure their responsibility for preserving the JCPOA. They also have a crucial commitment under this Plan to ensure Iran's economic interests, including opportunities to sell oil and receive sales revenue. This is an inalienable component of the agreement.
When the US withdrew from this programme and practically forbade anyone to buy oil, the Europeans volunteered to form a mechanism that would enable Iran to sell oil unhampered and receive payments without hindrance as well. We held a special meeting in Vienna in June last year and in New York in September. It took them almost a year to develop this mechanism. They announced its creation a couple of months ago, but not for trading in oil. It was only for humanitarian supplies not covered by the US sanctions and only for the EU members rather than all those willing to trade with Iran. But even with these reservations, this mechanism has failed, to date, to cater even to one single transaction.
If we speak about the need to preserve the JCPOA, this implies commitments for everyone, at least for all those who are still involved in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. But this does not mean that we can and must urge Iran to comply with all of its commitments while the rest treat them very lightly and even, as we suspect, prefer to abstain from criticising the United States and focus on what Iran is doing.
We call on our Iranian colleagues to display reserve, not to succumb to emotion under any circumstances, and to comply with the key provisions of the IAEA Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and the Additional Protocol. We also call on our European colleagues to live up to their promises and obligations and make the mechanism they have developed really effective and ensuring the rights that Iran has under the UN Security Council resolution on trade and economic ties. Unless they do this, it will be very difficult to maintain a rational and effective dialogue on preserving the JCPOA. But we will do all we can to preserve this vitally important agreement. It is of special significance not only for settling the concrete situation around Iran, which emerged several years ago and was later solved, but also for strengthening the non-proliferation regime. | commoncrawl | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUdto4ukPiEUQBmY77 | There are four main stages in the growth of Cannabis. The vegging or vegetative stage is the 3rd stage. At this stage, it would take about 3-16 weeks to reach to flowering stage and this is the stage where the plant needs a lot of nourishing from water and sunlight so the leaves can start developing. Within that timeframe is the growth of the plant from seedlings to its initial flowering.
You will notice that the plants' stems are thicker which helps protect and assist the plant from easily breaking because of environmental factors, like the wind. However, the height and thickness of the stem of the seedlings vary on its strain and varieties. There are some strains that are long, short, thin or thick.
The size, shape, and wideness of its leaves also varies based on the genes of the variety or strain. Like, Cannabis sativa, the leaves of this plant appear to be narrower because it helps the plant breathe better in humid locations. The Indica strain, which grows in more harsh conditions like deserts, have wider leaves which helps protect the sprouts from being scorched from heat and also being able to contain more water. Let's see what other factors affect the growth of Cannabis during this stage.
Cannabis growers would always want to have the best quality, in other words, its ideal growth. Once your plant reached the period when it's about to flower and it doesn't affect the development of other plants, the is the ideal growth that you are looking for. The area where you grow the plants should be filled with plants, leaving no extra spaces while making sure that the plants don't affect each other's nutrition.
If the plants have too many gaps between them, then it grows too big. If you put too many plants in the area, the plants are less nourished than they should be. The right spacing for plants is not too crowded with plants, giving enough space for its leaves and branches to expand. If it were too crowded, it will allocate its nutrients to the height of the plant instead of placing the nutrients to its branches and leaves' expansion. When this happens, the development of the branches from top to bottom will not be equal. Specifically, the branches below will be feeble and wouldn't grow good buds. The quality of the plants' end result depends on the development of the buds.
If the problem is just getting a really good bud, then there are a lot of ways to do it. The thing here is getting the plants equally nourished from top to bottom. If you only intend to grow a small number of plants, then use this information as a reference for planting small scale. A square meter of soil and a lamp with 600 watts will be good enough to fit in about eight seeds that have undergone pre-growth for three weeks. Lighting is considered as an essential part of growing cannabis. It has been recommended that plants should receive approximately 18 hours of lighting at this stage and to use full spectrum lights to increase the speed of growth.
The reason why a plant shouldn't be too big nor too small is because of the light distribution. If the height of your plant is too tall, then the light from the lamp will not be able to reach the lowest branches causing smaller buds. You are only wasting effort, energy and time if you grow plants like this. So, again if it's too tall, then it's the top part of the plant that only gets to meet their light requirement for photosynthesis. By allowing as much light to enter as possible without jeopardizing the spacing requirements, you'll be able to reach the full potential of the buds' development, either on top or the lowest branches. It is during this stage where you'll find out the plants' height, size and how much the yield is. In a square meter, which is the standard measurement of area, a lot of plants can be planted. The best thing to remember is that when growing cannabis, the plants grow more when there is a lesser number of plants. However, you wouldn't want your plants to increase much in size as there is a tendency that they restrain other plants. So, try not to provide too much time for growing. Constantly measure the height and observe if the flower of the plant is about to bloom.
Clone, a part of the plant that is acquired from the mother plant and its genes are the same with its original plant, grow differently from plants that started with seeds. Clones grow faster since they are considered as adult plants and so they need lesser growth time than plants that started as seeds. The speed of growing a seed to an adult plant depends on your skill and experience as a grower.
You'll be able to identify on when to give your plant lesser or more growth by looking at the side branches of your plant. Inspect a side branch of a young plant and you'll notice that its branches are straight. But if you'll look at the side branches of a clone plant, you'll notice that their branches run stepwise. So, not only is your plant growth dependent on time. Through these, you'll be able to you'll find out your plants' height and size. However, bear in mind that it doesn't mean that you'll get a bigger harvest when your plant is big.
You will know if your plant is unhealthy when you see that the color of your plant changed to yellow. The nutrients that plants need most at this stage are potassium and nitrogen. You may want to purchase a soil mix that has these nutrients so that you don't need to put fertilizer on your soil not until it's the flowering stage. They may be a bit expensive but in the long run, the plants' nutrients are already secured. There is nothing wrong with buying cheap soil. But you must know how to add the right nutrients into your soil to make sure that your plants are properly nourished. However, the downside of using cheap soil is that your plants are prone to deficiency and you might overestimate, putting too much fertilizer which will also have a factor in the growth of your plants.
And also, make sure that when you add nutrients manually, you will follow the directions as written on the product labeling. There should be no room for mistakes a slight error affects the growth and yield of your plant. However, if your errors are made, you can always learn from them and do better next time.
Another thing, the amount of fertilizer you'll provide depends on the size of your plant. More fertilizer is provided for bigger plants. When your plants are growing and you constantly give the same amount of fertilizer, leaves will also turn yellow which means that the plant is demanding for more nutrients. It's either you increase the dose or the frequency of providing nutrients. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

The three major Berlin universities and Charité have been awarding "Berliner Startup Stipendium" grants together since 2016. The results speak for themselves.
Up to now, 88 Berliner Startup Stipendium grants have been awarded to members of the three major Berlin universities and Charité. Many company founders benefit from the networking meetings.

The idea is innovative and has market potential, and the team is well positioned for success – but for investors or large support programs, the project still has quite a way to go. In cases like this, Freie Universität Berlin, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Technische Universität Berlin jointly offer the Berliner Startup Stipendium. The funds can be made available quickly and without a lot of bureaucracy. Entitled University Startup Factory, the Berliner Startup Stipendium program is funded by the Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy, and Public Enterprises as well as the European Social Fund. Two to four team members receive 2,000 euros per month over a period of six months; an extension for another six months is also possible. The teams are supervised by the start-up centers at the respective universities.
An integral part of the project is a comprehensive evaluation. The first results from qualitative and quantitative surveys were presented at a networking meeting at Freie Universität Berlin's start-up incubator.
During the pilot phase from August 2016 to March 2018, 62 teams of two to four people applied for the grant. Each application was preceded by a preliminary interview at the start-up support office at the respective universities. During that phase, 31 teams were selected to present their projects in person, and 26 start-up projects were finally chosen for funding. By January 2019, 19 business start-ups had emerged – meaning that around three-quarters of the projects were implemented during the survey period.
In the second phase of the project, which is still ongoing, the number of applications and the number of funded start-ups has increased significantly: 112 teams applied, 61 teams were granted funding, and 11 of those have already founded a company. Many of the funded companies are already seeing positive results.
In a welcoming address at the networking meeting, Christian Rickerts, State Secretary in the Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Enterprises, thanked the universities in Berlin for attracting young international talent.
Volker Hofmann, the head of knowledge transfer at Humboldt-Universität, pointed out that university spin-offs are an economic factor in Berlin.
Ina Budde, founder of the start-up circular.fashion UG (limited liability), and her team funded by Freie Universität have developed a circulation system for sustainable fashion. A digital platform accompanies and controls the cycle of each garment, from design, through wearing, to recycling. In April 2019, circular.fashion won the H&M Foundation Global Change Award, worth 300,000 euros.
Future of Voice GmbH, founded at Technische Universität Berlin by Tilmann Böhme, Malte Kosub, and Stefan Ostwald, develops applications for the voice-controlled assistance systems Alexa and Google Assistant on behalf of large companies. Their customers include WWF, Evonik Industries AG, and the ERGO Group.
Tim Vogelsang and André Rieck's Octorank Innovation UG (limited liability), which is funded by Humboldt-Universität, has acquired big customers like Deutsche Telekom and Vattenfall. Companies, developers, musicians, and copywriters use their platform to receive feedback on innovations and designs.
In 2017, Laura Büchler and Isabella Hillmer from the team at GHOST - feel it received the "Smart Wearables x Smart Textiles" award by the Senate Department for Economics, Energy, and Public Enterprises, worth 10,000 euros. The founders, who are funded by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, are working on a glove for people suffering from nerve damage in their hands. It is intended to give them back their sense of touch and sensitivity to temperatures.
Looking to the future: Aneta Bärwolf (Freie Universität), Florian Hoos (Technische Universität), and Volker Hofmann (Humboldt-Universität) are preparing a proposal for a new project to be funded with a Berliner Startup Stipendium grant.
"The program has really taken off at full speed." Volker Hofmann
For the evaluation of the Berlin Startup Stipendium, grant holders were also asked for detailed qualitative feedback. The fact that there was not a long waiting period between the time of application and the announcement of the results proved to be a great advantage for the participants. A jury consisting of members of the four universities and external jurors decided within a very short time, so that the uncertainty did not block the development of the projects. Participants also praised the procedure from the proposal to the actual transfer of money to the bank account. In addition, there were top marks for services such as start-up rooms, access to laboratories, consultations, establishing contacts, and networking events. "Setting up your own company means tackling new problems every day," says Florian Hoos, director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at Technische Universität Berlin. Although university employees in the start-up support offices could not relieve entrepreneurs of this challenge, they could often guide them to finding solutions based on their many years of experience and their expertise and knowledge of the Berlin start-up scene
The main conclusion of the evaluation: many things are already working well; some things can still be improved. "The program has really taken off at full speed," says Volker Hofmann, head of Team Knowledge Transfer at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. That is why the three universities and Charité have already worked on a proposal to continue awarding the scholarships for another two years. The concept will be submitted to the Senate Department by June 30, 2019. "Naturally, we want to maintain what has proven to be a success," says Volker Hofmann. "We will, however, additionally focus on internationalization and tie in with the Berlin Senate's Smart City Strategy."
"We also make sure that the start-up ideas we promote are sustainable." Aneta Bärwolf
Aneta Bärwolf, project manager for the Berliner Startup Stipendium at Freie Universität, emphasizes another aspect of university start-up funding: "We have similar criteria to private investors when it comes to eligible ideas, such as the degree of innovation and market opportunities of a product. We also make sure that the start-up ideas we promote are sustainable, and that the prospective entrepreneurs take responsibility for the future."
The application period is closed.
