BkiUdMTxaKgTw5qkDwxX | Whether you're new to gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) or you're a master fabricator, the myriad adapters, connectors, and couplers on the market can be overwhelming. To complicate matters further, manufacturers have made changes to the design of their welding machines over the years, taking advantage of inverter technology and streamlining the options. The result is many different machines and accessories to choose from.
To hook up your GTAW torch properly to your welding machine, the first thing you need to know is what kind of connection your machine supports. With older power supplies, the torch bolts onto the machine with a threaded stud terminal on the front panel of the power supply. Newer welding machines can use an international-style Dinse® connector, which plugs into the power supply and twists and locks securely into place (see Figure 1). The small connector is approximately 5⁄ 16 inch in diameter, and the large connector is 1⁄ 2 in. in diameter.
Some machines are designed for a gas-through Dinse connection, in which your torch's gas hose hooks up to the connector, eliminating the need for an additional gas connection (see Figure 2). The gas flows from your tank and flowmeter/regulator, through the machine to the connector, and into the torch. Some power supplies use a Tweco®-type (also called American-style) split pin connector that also twists and locks into place.
Consult your welding machine manual to find out which plug type you have. If you no longer have your manual, contact the manufacturer directly and have ready your machine's model and serial numbers. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

If There Is A Dispute With A Will, We Can Be In Your Corner
A will is considered by the court to be the final wishes of the testator — the person who drafted the will. You may seek to have a will voided in its entirety or in part, and the burden of proof is on the contesting party.
In order to contest a will, you must have standing. That is, you must be able to show that you have a financial stake in the outcome. A person who is named in the will, who was named in an earlier will or who would have benefited had the client died intestate (without a will) has standing in that will.
Having a knowledgeable and highly regarded probate attorney in your corner is essential to successfully challenging a will. The attorneys at Hackard Law, A Professional Law Corporation, in Sacramento, represent individuals in will and trust litigation.
Reasons For Contesting A Will Or Trust
Individuals with significant financial holdings who are in frail mental condition are vulnerable targets for someone who wishes to gain an advantage as a benefactor. There are a number of reasons for challenging a will's validity. The most common are:
Lack of testamentary capacity — The argument here is that the testator did not have the mental capacity to understand the consequences of his or her decisions at the time a will or trust was drafted or amended. This may be due to senility, dementia or the influence of medication.
Fraud — Any portion of a will may be voided if it can be shown that a beneficiary made a false statement in order to convince the testator to write the will or amend the will based on the false statement.
Undue influence — Involves any intentional pressure placed on a testator to draft or change a will or trust in order to favor the person who applies the pressure.
Mistakes — Minor mistakes such as misspellings are not sufficient to void a will or trust. One example of a mistake that may warrant voiding a will is the lack of the testator's signature or the required signatures of two disinterested witnesses (unless the will is "holographic" or handwritten).
Fiduciary mismanagement — Trustees must act in the best interests of the beneficiaries. If a trustee fails to adhere to the responsibilities of the role, he or she may be held personally liable.
It Is Important To Act Quickly
California laws limit the amount of time a person has to contest a will. It is best to file a petition to contest a will before the probate hearing. However, it is possible to contest a will after a hearing in which the court accepted the will as a valid document. You must do so within 120 days of that hearing date.
Our experienced probate lawyers are available to answer your questions regarding will and trust contests during a free consultation. We will provide a candid assessment of your case and recommend the best course of action. Contact us to schedule a meeting.

BkiUbDnxaL3SufhMnAJ9 | The Elite is a luxury catamaran set to launch in September, 2019. The Elite is the sister vessel to the Endemic. It will have the exact same level of luxury. This vessel will be an awesome choice for cruising the Galapagos Islands. In this article I'll highlight the main features of the Elite. I'll also go over how you can plan your flights for your cruise of the Galapagos based on Elite's itinerary. And since connecting flights can be so tricky, I'll give you the flight information to help you to make a smooth trip to the Galapagos Islands.
A Galapagos cruise could very well be one of the most memorable times of your life. This little volcanic archipelago in the middle of nowhere has truly one-of-a-kind wildlife and an incredible history. It's one of those rare places where you get that perfect mix of bizarre, incredible, and 100% unique. Combining an amazing place like the Galapagos Islands with a luxury cruise? It doesn't get any better than that. The tricky part is deciding which cruise to go for. There are a lot of vessels that can take you exploring seemingly prehistoric world, all with their own pros and cons.
The Galapagos Islands are amazing on many levels. The climate is remarkably comfortable for being so close to the equator. The islands themselves were formed by presently-active volcanoes that command respect and truly impress. The ocean and beaches are beautiful. Really, though, it's animals that make the visit unforgettable. The Galapagos Islands are home to loads of endemic species. That means that they're not found anywhere else in the world. The animals here are actually extremely comfortable around humans; they haven't developed a fear of being hunted that animals in other areas have. Let's go over some of the highlights of what awesome animals you can expect to see in the Galapagos.
Selfies with giant tortoises, marine iguanas and blue-footed boobies while you're on a trip to the Galapagos are definitely Instagram-worthy. Besides plastering social media with mind-blowing photos of the islands, sometimes you simply need to be in contact with the outside world. So what's the Galapagos cell phone coverage like throughout the archipelago? Cell coverage can be spotty. Generally the populated areas have decent coverage, but the uninhabited islands and open ocean are typically out of range. In this article I'll outline what to expect, and what options you have.
A good hike can be one of the most satisfying ways to really get close to nature. The feeling of accomplishment along with a few amazing views make for a totally memorable vacation. Ecuador does not disappoint when it comes to awesome hikes! Especially in the mountains, there are absolutely breathtaking routes for all levels of hikers. Here are my top 5 places.
Food and travel; one of the most natural pairings of the universe. So with a destination as amazing as the Galapagos Islands, what can you expect to experience for cuisine? In this post we'll go over what's offered on Galapagos cruises - one traveler to another 😁 There's one thing I've learned from my traveling around the world. If you let a great chef cook a meal that he grew up eating, he'll knock it out of the park every time. Ecuador has some amazing dishes that are truly unique to this country. Traditional coastal foods do a great job of showcasing what can come from the ocean. A cruise is quite possibly the best setting to enjoy seafood! Let me introduce you to some traditional Ecuadorian foods that I've absolutely fallen in love with!
If you're a climber that's visiting Ecuador, the Chimborazo Volcano is one that you can't miss! The Chimborazo's claim to fame is that it's peak is the world's furthest point from the earth's center. I know what you're thinking. Everest is the highest mountain, everyone knows that. That's partly true – measured from sea level, Everest is the highest mountain… but it's not the closest to the sun. This is because the shape of the earth isn't a perfect sphere. It actually bulges towards the middle (like many of us do). This means that the top of the Chimborazo is well over a mile further away from the earth's center than Mount Everest! You literally will not find a point higher than the peak of the Chimborazo volcano.
There is nothing that I love more than exploring the rainforest in South America. I've done it in several different countries, and it is never a letdown for the adventurous. I've chased caiman, caught piranhas, slept in hammocks and tripped over anacondas. Those were some of the happiest moments in my life. Most people, though, are probably looking for something a little... milder. If you want to explore the Amazon rainforest with more comfort (while not missing out on nature), then a river cruise in Ecuador is probably exactly what you're looking for.
Quito in 3 Days: The Best Things to Do!
Quito is the capital of Ecuador, and it's a massive city with roughly two and a half million people. It has a large international airport, and more than likely this is where you'll enter the country. So is it worth it to spend a few days in Quito before heading out to explore the rest of the country? Yes! Aside from being a major hub of activity, this large city is packed with beautiful parks and other attractions. It's historical district was the first (along with Kraków, Poland) to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site (1978). There are tons of really outstanding monuments, buildings and sculptures that display rich culture and history.
Galapagos Clothing – What Should I Wear?
You're planning a trip to the Galapagos and you don't want to be the one that has to do the "unpack of shame" at the airport. How do you pack light and make sure your clothes match the weather? The short answer is to bring light clothing that is quick drying, layerable, and gives you good coverage from the sun. Read on, though, for detailed and specific information on exactly the kind of clothing that will let you pack light and be as comfortable as possible in the Galapagos Islands! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUeuzxK7IAE_K9ygDW | Let's start by saying that Us is an absolutely terrifying horror movie. Easily within the top 10% of all horror movies in terms of scariness. That being said, it is a horror movie. You may be tempted to compare it to Get Out, but this is not a thriller like Peele's previous film. This is a movie designed to invoke fear and get your heart racing. Is it a masterpiece of cinema? No. Is it a masterpiece of the horror genre? You absolutely bet it is. So, get that out of your system now before diving in.
Even at the beginning of the film when things are ordinary, things feel off. The main characters are not a perfect family and clearly have some issues while trying to keep it all together and enjoy their summer vacation. This is really driven home for the audience by the soundtrack. The music has just the right blend to leave you with a feeling of alien fear, a fear of the unknown as you know something that seems impossible is coming to hurt you. Some scenes are a little goofy, so the entire film is not deranged and dark. These bits provide a healthy sense of balance and moderation; a little light in the darkness.
On the other side of things, this is a movie that requires a sense of disbelief. It also requires viewers to pay close attention. There is a lot of foreshadowing and symbolism throughout the film; some things may be missed during the first viewing. It skims the realm of contemporary horror (Hereditary, The Witch, or It Follows), but just barely. While those types of films are beloved by critics and die-hard horror fans, they do not go over well with general audiences. Peele touched them just enough to be interesting but not turn most people off.
If you try to go too deep, Us is not a story that really holds up to critical analysis. There are a number of holes that require that sense of disbelief. If you think closely some can be explained while others cannot. But conceptually, that decision on Peele's part really comes down to interpretation. If you like to have things explained and know everything about a story in detail, you may be disappointed. But if things do not quite make sense, if these horrible things that are happening seem illogical and inconceivable, that can make the fact that they are happening all the more terrifying. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbMU5qsFAfmG_X9FM | Sudipta Kaviraj has long been internationally recognized as a political analyst and thinker. In this book he shows that he is also one of the most acute writers on the interconnections of literature and politics. The essays here lie at the intersection of three disciplines: the study of literature, social theory, and intellectual history.
Kaviraj argues that serious reflections on modernity's predicaments and bafflements lie in literature. Modernity introduced new literary forms—such as the novel and the autobiography—to Indian writers. These became reflections on the nature of modernity. Some of the questions central to modern European social theory also grew into significant themes within Indian literary reflection.
What was the nature of the self—did modernity alter this nature? What was the character of power under conditions of modern history? How is the power of the modern state felt by individuals? How does modern politics affect the personality of a sensitive individual? Is love possible between intensely self-conscious people? How do individuals cope with the transience of affections, the fragility of social ties? Kaviraj's essays show modern Indian literature as reflections on modern times, particularly of their experiential interior.
SUDIPTA KAVIRAJ is professor of Indian politics and intellectual history at Columbia University. He has also taught for many years at SOAS, London University, and at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He has been a fellow of St Antony's College, Oxford, and a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley, as well as at the University of Chicago. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUcn7xK0wg09lKBuxu | At a Press conference, Akhilesh showed a few faucets, exhorting the government to produce the list of missing things from the bungalow he vacated early this month, so that he could fetch all of them.
LUCKNOW: The political slugfest over Akhilesh Yadav's official bungalow row peaked on Wednesday when the Samajwadi Party chief charged the Yogi Adityanath government with maligning him by spreading canards against him through the media and the Uttar Pradesh government rebuffed him by claiming that the former CM was behaving peevishly and that he should come clear on the issue.
"I want to return these faucets through the media to the estate department which is claiming that I have taken away all the fittings," he asserted.
"I reiterate that I had got the bungalow renovated according to my tastes. I have taken things which belong to me or I bought with my own money. Everything else is present in the bungalow," he claimed.
"I have handed back the bungalow in the same condition it was allotted," he said claiming that it was part of state government design to get the bungalow photographed in such a way that it looked damaged in order to defame him.
"People are talking about a swimming pool which was never there," he asserted.
The former CM even took a jibe at state Governor Ram Naik who had written a letter to UP government expressing concern over damage to the bungalow.
"He is good human being, but the soul of RSS sometime enters into him when he oversteps his constitutional obligations," commented Akhilesh.
Responding to that, the state government's official spokesman and health minister Sidharth Nath Singh reminded Akhilesh that it was unbecoming of a leader of the main opposition party to target the constitutional head of the state in "such an undignified manner".
On the alleged renovation expenses of Rs 42 crore, Akhilesh challenged that UP government and the estate department to probe how much was spent on the bungalow and what was vandalised there. "I had got a number of things done from my own pocket," he said.
To this, Singh said, "Akhilesh should reveal from where did he invest the money in the bungalow? He should furnish those details to the Income Tax department."
Singh said in view of the Governor's letter over the issue, we will follow his directives and get it probed. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUf0E241xiMs_hTgNH | Q: Including an asterisk in a reference item number How do I add a mark (asterisk/dagger) to a particular bib entry, based on a keyword? For example consider the bib file:
@article{Doe2012a,
author = {J. Doe},
title = {Lorem Ipsum -- Part I},
journal = {J. Dolor Sit Am.},
volume = {1},
pages = {1--10},
month = {1},
year = {2012},
keywords = {invited},
}
@article{Doe2012b,
author = {J. Doe},
title = {Lorem Ipsum -- Part II},
journal = {J. Dolor Sit Am.},
volume = {2},
pages = {11--20},
month = {2},
year = {2012},
}
and the tex file:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber, sorting=nty, style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{path/to/bib}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[title=Articles, prefixnumbers=A., type=article]
\end{document}
which will produce an output like:
[A.1] J. Doe, "Lorem Ipsum ...
[A.2] J. Doe, "Lorem Ipsum ...
Now how can I design a filter or otherwise, that will look for the presence of invited in a keyword and then produce an output like
[A.1]* J. Doe, "Lorem Ipsum ...
[A.2] J. Doe, "Lorem Ipsum ...
where there is now an asterisk next to the ref item number? This way I can easily place a footnote to indicate which references were invited articles.

BkiUehPxK6EuNBRhJbQF | Fantasy Football Update
Mid-season is upon us, and with that we are going to do a full positional breakdown how each position is doing this year. Most fantasy playoffs start Week 14 meaning that our regular season ends Week 13 and if you're team isn't up to par, you won't be in playoff contention. Whether you are in a free league or you and your friends have some friendly betting taking place, winning the championship is all we care about.
Quarterback:
Best: Tom Brady is averaging the most fantasy points per week at his position, and in all of fantasy (Standard Scoring Leagues) according to ESPN Stats and Info. He has been an unstoppable force this year, and shows no signs of slowing down. Currently averaging 30.3 points per game, he is averaging more than five points higher than any other quarterback, ESPN Stats and Info. Chances are if you have Brady, you are winning your league and probably got him for a steal in the draft, considering he was supposed to be suspended.
Biggest Disappointment: For the biggest disappointment, I am going to select a player who was a top-10 fantasy draft pick and also hasn't lost his production due to injury. For quarterback the biggest disappointment has been Peyton Manning. Sure his team is undefeated, but that is not because of Manning. He is averaging 14 points per game and is the 21st ranked quarterback according to ESPN Stats and Info. Ranked as a top-5 draft choice, Manning has been a huge disappointment this year; hopefully you didn't draft him too high.
Biggest Surprise: For the biggest surprise, I am going to pick a player drafted outside the top-10 and has had top-10 production. The 29th ranked quarterback in this year's pre-draft rankings, he is currently ranked as the fifth best quarterback in fantasy, Blake Bortles. He has amazing talent around him, and the sophomore quarterback is showing why he was the third overall pick in last year's NFL Draft.
Running Back:
Best: A man among boys, Devonta Freeman. Freeman could be the biggest surprise as well, but considering the second-highest scoring running back is almost 60 points less than Freeman, he is clearly the best. Freeman was a draft steal and is paying major dividends to his owners.
Biggest Disappointment: This one should be obvious, considering I told you to drop him a few weeks ago. C.J. Anderson is perhaps the biggest fantasy bust in recent years. He is currently the 57th ranked running back and the fantasy steal of last year is a huge disappointment. If you still have him, you should seriously consider dropping him and maybe just quitting fantasy football altogether.
Biggest Surprise: Ranked as the 27th running back going into this year's draft, Chris Ivory has been playing at an extremely high level. Currently ranked as the fifth-best running back in Standard Scoring Leagues (ESPN Stats and Info), Ivory is the true definition of a workhorse. The Jets had a great plan going into the season, protect the ball, play defense, and pound the rock. Ivory is not going to slow down and he is about as safe as it gets when it comes to a consistent fantasy running back.
Wide Receiver:
Best: DeAndre Hopkins and Julio Jones. Technically Hopkins is the number one, but only by half a point. Most thought that Antonio Brown would separate himself from the rest in fantasy, but since Roethlisberger has been injured, Brown has not been effective. Hopkins and Jones both dominate opposing secondaries, and are especially effective in Point-Per-Reception leagues. I have to give Hopkins major props; he has been extremely productive with very shaky quarterback play, while Jones has been incredibly productive with a high-quality quarterback.
Biggest Disappointment: Demaryius Thomas has been consistently underwhelming this year. Ranked as the number two receiver going into this year's fantasy season, he is currently ranked as the 26th receiver and is averaging only nine and a half points per game, according to ESPN Stats and Info. It is safe to credit some of his lack of production to shaky play by Peyton Manning, but still he has only found the end zone once this year.
Biggest Surprise: With Blake Bortles producing at a high level, it is no surprise to see his young pass catcher, Allen Robinson, also have high production. Robinson was the 29th ranked receiver going into the draft, and is currently the fourth-best receiver in fantasy this year, according to ESPN Stats and Info. He is averaging almost 14 points a game and has six touchdowns through seven games. He is a very good young receiver and we will be seeing a lot of him in years to come.
Tight End:
Best: This one is pretty obvious, Rob Gronkowski. The clear favorite in the draft, and the clear-cut best tight end in the league. "The Gronk" is one of the most dominant players in the league, and will be the number one tight end for years to come.
Biggest Disappointment: The nice thing with tight ends is even the disappointing ones, aren't that bad. Martellus Bennett was a top-5 draft prospect at the position, and is currently ranked as the 13th-best among tight ends in fantasy. Bennett has not digressed too much; his drop in production can be credited to a poor quarterback, and poor overall offense.
Biggest Surprise: This one was even a shock to me; this player was the 47th ranked tight end going into the draft and is currently the second best tight end in fantasy, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Gary Barnidge has become one of the most dominant tight ends in the league. He has averaged over 15 points per game over the past five games. If he is in your lineup, you are probably having a good year. Honorable mention to Tyler Eifert for being a fantasy monster this year.
It has been an exciting year in fantasy, and I am certainly looking forward to the rest of the season.

its reviews i really don't like... not because i disagree with them (i do often but sometimes not) but because i want a review to approach the album from a clean slate, not based on what the band has done in the past and compare it to that, which is what all music guide does. i want to know what it sounds like...the moods of the songs and maybe some comparisons to other bands/songs that they are similar to.
i like launch because they have a lot of videos, but im also pissed about no more mac support. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 |

5 of the Most Sustainable Buildings of 2017
Download this article in PDF format Print this articler
Earlier this year we talked about the importance of sustainability in construction, and how buildings are responsible for more than 40 percent of energy usage across the globe. Thankfully, strides are being made to combat climate change within our shared industries.
Each year more and more eco-conscious buildings are being erected across the world. The American Institute of Architects' Committee on the Environment looks at the best green buildings each year that save energy and water, utilize eco-conscious materials, and overall enhance the environment.
Below, we look at five leaders in green building that made us take a second look.
1. Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and Jurong Community Hospital
Jurong East, Singapore
Ng Teng Fong General Hospital & Jurong Community Hospital (NTFGH) incorporates parks, green roofs, and vertical plantings throughout the campus. This project reintroduced ecology to a very dense urban area of the city, bringing back native vegetation and stormwater recycling. Three distinct shading strategies are used to maximize daylight, eliminating the need for excessive artificial lighting inside the building during the day. Natural ventilation provides fresh, natural air. High levels of recycled materials were used throughout, including floor tiles, composite timber, and steel. The building uses 38 percent less energy than a typical hospital in Singapore and 69 percent less than a typical U.S. hospital.
Cost: $371.5 million
Sq. Feet: 1,962,853
2. R.W. Kern Center
Designed as part of the Living Building Challenge, the R.W. Kern Center at Hampshire College is a self-sustaining structure. It generates its own energy, captures its own water, and processes its own waste. The goal of this build was to develop a net zero energy building in a cold climate, using rainwater, as well as only using local, sustainable and not-toxic materials. The facility maximizes thermal efficiency and utilizes a net-positive water system. Walls can be moved or rearranged for future use without structural disruption thanks to open span glulam timber framing. Because the rooftop photovoltaic system is grid-tied, the college is installing a solar system with storage to power the campus.
Cost: $7.6 million
Sq. Feet: 16,940
3. Manhattan Districts 1/2/5 Garage and Spring Street Salt Shed
A source of neighborhood pride, Manhattan Districts 1/2/5 Garage and Spring Street Salt Shed is wrapped in a curtain wall facade that brings in light to the interior while reducing solar heat gain. It features a 1.5 acre green roof, which reduces heat-island effect and provides storm water retention. The grey water is used in the building and for truck washing. The building is the first LEED-rated Department of Sanitation and operates on municipal steam to heat the structure.
Cost: $271 million
Sq. Feet: 302,023
4. Brock Environmental Center
Acting as the hub for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Brock Environmental Center was designed for the Living Building Challenge with zero-net-CO2 emissions and produces zero waste. Seam metal roofs capture rainwater, filtering it for drinking water; it's actually one of the first U.S. buildings permitted for drinking treated rainwater. The facility also features composting toilets. Strategically placed windows optimize daylight to reduce the need for artificial light, as well as ventilation, and an open air dogtrot provides a microclimate. The building produces more energy than it uses, thanks to two wind turbines and a photovoltaic system.
5. NOAA Daniel K. Inouye Regional Center
Reusing two World War II-era hangars, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Daniel K. Inouye Regional Center incorporates the natural Hawaiian landscape, and features LEED Gold certification. The water capture system is designed so no grey water leaves the facility, instead dispersing it to plumbing systems and irrigation. Utilizing cooling coils on the roof, a hydronic system pulls water from below the seabed for a natural cooling process. The building is cooled using only outside air.

BkiUdsc5qoTA-75cjUh7 | Broken Eyebrows? Thank Goodness for Bangs!
There are pros and cons to DIY beauty. I'm sure I save a ton of money doing my own hair, eyebrows etc. The biggest con is when I jack something up and have to deal with it for a long long time. Sure, there are weaves and makeup but I don't do either.
Two years ago, I jacked up my eyebrows so bad I had to cut some bangs.
This past January I cut my bangs too short. Like, I could see my eyebrows too short. Like, my hair was straight and not even curled yet too short. Disaster!
I'd enter Exhibit A here, but I did NOT take a selfie.
So I had to be extremely careful not to jack up my eyebrows, since I had no hair to cover them with.
I was doing one of those DIY facial peel things. I got too close to my eyebrows and pulled some off with the mask. Thank goodness I had the common sense not to put that stuff on my eyebrows or I wouldn't have any.
I'd enter Exhibit B here, but I did NOT take a selfie.
Big sunglasses and a slicked back ponytail, will not work for every occassion.
So it's May, and less than a month before Papa Bear and I go a second Honeymoon twenty years later. My bangs are back and will be too long, but I'm not cutting them. In the event the wind blows, which it will, my eyebrows are still barely there.
So one of those Facebook ads finally got me.
I bought the eyebrow stamp thing.
I'd enter exhibit D here, I did take a selfie but it looks like a mug shot with smuDgy eyebrows. I can't.
There's a learning curve to the eyebrow stamp thing. If you're wearing foundation the perfect powder look, it might be fine as is. But I don't wear that stuff. So it looked like I had eyeshadow in my eyebrows, which is essentially what it is.
In an attempt to wipe the smudgy off with water and a cotton ball, I discovered that they stay. You need soap and scrubbing I guess. When I get out of the shower, my stamped eyebrows are gone.
For a more natural not smudgy look, after I stamp my eyebrows, I wet the cotton ball and wipe across them.
I LOVE the eyebrow stamp thing!
I saw a professional yesterday (Christopher's barber) for professional eyebrow shaping. So, there's that.

Christal Hayes, USA TODAY Published 10:18 a.m. ET Oct. 13, 2018 | Updated 9:38 p.m. ET Oct. 13, 2018
Governor Rick Scott called Florida "a very resilient state" following his tour of the destruction caused by Hurricane Michael. USA TODAY
WASHINGTON - When there is a crisis in Florida there is always one thing you can count on: Gov. Rick Scott in his trademark Navy hat.
The Republican governor of Florida, who is running for Senate against incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, always seems to have handy the dark-blue cap emblazoned with "NAVY" on the front. It's made its way to campaign events for years and graced television screens this week as millions across the nation watched Scott give updates on Hurricane Michael's devastation in the Panhandle.
But now, the hat is being used as a target on Scott's record when it comes to veterans and health care.
An ad by VoteVets, a left-leaning veterans group, rips the governor's former life as head of the nation's largest private hospital chain.
"I see Rick Scott wearing that Navy hat everywhere he goes but let me tell you what he did to veterans," Alan Madison, a Navy veteran opens the 30-second ad.
Under Scott's tenure as CEO of Columbia/HCA, the for-profit company was fined $1.7 billion for defrauding millions from Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE, a military health care program, the company's settlement with the Justice Department states.
The ad specifically targets the defrauding of the military's health care and his pleading of the Fifth Amendment during a civil case about the matter. It even includes decades-old footage from Scott being deposed under oath.

More: Florida Sen. Bill Nelson: Noble career or career politician?
"Today, he's worth $200 million bucks. For veterans like me, we got cheated," Madison says in the ad.
Scott did serve in the Navy. He was enlisted for 29 months and ended his service as a radar technician, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Scott's campaign, in a statement, responded to the ad saying Scott was focusing on Hurricane Michael and offered comments from six veterans who support him and his record on helping veterans as governor.
"As a veteran, I am disheartened to see Bill Nelson and his democrat friends play politics with our military – but their false attacks can't distract from the truth," Gulf War veteran Kat Gates-Skipper said in a statement provided by Scott's campaign. "I have seen firsthand the numerous ways Governor Scott honors our American heroes and their families."
The ad, which is slated to run for 10 days across the state, ends with a question.
"Governor, this hat represents what the Navy stands for: Honor, integrity," Madison says, pointing to his dark blue Navy hat and peering into the camera. "My question for you, sir? Where's yours?"

BkiUdCbxK7FjYEB4VPiF | Fan allegiances all over in South Dakota
Travis Kriens
How did you become a fan of your favorite team?
Usually most people go with the local team or as close to a local team as they can find. Living in South Dakota, we are in one of the most isolated areas as far as pro teams go.
The Vikings and the Twins are the two most followed teams in the state, but the slew of secondary teams that people can legitimately get away with is long. With the NFL, it includes the Lions, Packers, Bears, Broncos, Chiefs and Cowboys.
Any easy way to get hooked on a team as a kid is to have that team on television a lot. We get every Vikings game in this area and the Broncos are the AFC team of choice on CBS for the region. That's why some teams that you may not think of rooting for can be easy to do so.
Take the Atlanta Braves. They were on TBS multiple times a week during the season, so it wasn't crazy to think that someone would become a fan of a team that is over a thousand miles away.
My team that fits this mold is the Chicago Bulls. The first complete season I remember for any team is the 1995-96 Bulls when I was eight years old. It seemed like every game was on TV, whether it was WGN out of Chicago, TBS, TNT or the greatness that was the NBA on NBC. Including playoffs, the Bulls played 100 games that season and won 87 of them. They finished with the best regular season record in history at 72-10 and I was hooked.
That Chicago three-peat was a great time to be a fan, obviously. However, much of the next decade would not be so easy. The Bulls quickly become the worst team in the league and many jumped off the bandwagon. I did not. I didn't know anything besides championships as a Bulls fan for the first three years. It was harder and harder to keep up with the Bulls because they were barely on TV outside of the weekly Saturday night home game on WGN.
To those that jumped off the bandwagon once Michael Jordan retired, shame on you. Especially if you jumped back on once the Bulls returned to the NBA elite last season reaching the Eastern Conference Finals and finishing with a league best 62-20 record.
The team that will always be number one for me is the Vikings. I am sure that the 15-1, 1998 season had a lot to do with that. That season came out of nowhere and it was the first and most painful in a long line of heart break.
It runs in the family as my dad is a fan going back to 1969. That is common as a new NPR report says that nearly 40 percent of males and 30 percent of women have had their favorite team choice influenced by thier dad. He has seen all four Super Bowl losses, while I have seen three NFC Championship defeats.
The last two seasons have really changed my view as a fan. I don't take things as seriously as I used to and am not as invested in the games as I once was. There is good and bad that goes along with it, but the passion for me is still there. A game like the one this past weekend with the Vikings and Packers reassured that there is still nothing like a big time Vikings game for me and the Packers game is as big time as it is going to get this season at 1-6.
I like to view the team you choose to follow as a marriage. Once you tie the knot, that is it. You can divorce your team if they move to another location and if you move to a new region and deem it necessary to change your allegiance. And certainly don't divorce a team once they are on hard times only to return when they are back to their winning ways.
With the possibility of the Vikings moving to Los Angeles improving by the day, but still a huge long shot, I have made the decision that if they were to move to the west coast, my allegiance would move with them. I am far to invested into this team to call it quits now. It would be especially sad if they were to win the Super Bowl in L.A. and I wasn't a part of it. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUd3s5qoYA2zk0v5Gq | The Minneapolis Millers were the first minor league team based in Minneapolis, MN. They began play in the 1884 Northwestern League and immediately developed a long-standing rivalry with the clubs from St. Paul, MN. They later were mainstays of the Western League from 1894 through 1900. Despite losing one game in 1896 to St. Paul by a 41-8 score, the team won their first Western pennant that year, led by the pitching of Bill Hutchison and the hitting of Perry Werden, a Miller leader of the decade. The team fell drastically, winning less than 35% of its games in both 1897 and 1898. In 1899 they bounced back and led the Western League in wins but lost the pennant, which was decided on the basis of winning percentage.
When the Western League became the American League in 1900, the Millers finished dead last. Werden led the league in doubles, slugging and homers, but he got little support. The team returned to the Western League in 1901.
In 1902 the Millers joined the new American Association and continued to play there through 1960. The Millers were highly successful, winning nine pennants and never finishing last. From 1896 to 1955, the club played its home games in Nicollet Park. In 1913, a second team played in the same park, but in the Northern League; it is known as both the Millers and the Minneapolis Bronchos and was a farm team of the AA's Millers. After one unsuccessful season, that team became the Fargo-Moorhead Graingrowers. In 1956, the team moved to a new ballpark, Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, MN. The Washington Senators moved to Minnesota for the 1961 season to become the Minnesota Twins, and the Millers ceased operation, as did the neighboring St. Paul Saints. There was a fierce rivalry between the two teams, with a tradition of playing each other in holiday doubleheaders in which the first game would be played in one city in the morning, and the second in the other in the afternoon.
Ted Williams played for the Millers in 1938 winning a Triple Crown, and in 1951, Willie Mays, Hoyt Wilhelm and Ray Dandridge were members of the club. Also appearing for the Millers in their AA period were Rube Waddell, Gavvy Cravath, Zack Wheat, Monte Irvin, Jimmy Collins, Orlando Cepeda and Carl Yastrzemski. Minor league stars to appear after Werden included Joe Hauser, Buzz Arlett, Nick Cullop, Spencer Harris and Dave Altizer.
During the entire course of their history in the American Association, the Millers were embattled in a heated rivalry with the St. Paul Saints. For more on this topic see Rex Hamann's The Millers and the Saints, Baseball Championships of the Twin Cities Rivals, 1903 to 1955 (McFarland, 2014). An additional source is Hamann's database covering the essential offensive statistics between the two teams is online at http://millers-saints.com.
In 1994 the name Minneapolis Millers was briefly resurrected and used by a professional team in the newly-created Great Central League. Managed by former Boston Red Sox star George Scott, the team played at Parade Stadium within the confines of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Led by outfielders Boo Moore and Ray Moon and pitchers Jeff Gregg, Brian Heil and Eric Lovedahl, the Millers finished the regular season in 3rd place in the team's sole year of existence.

BkiUbV84ukPiES_fItwJ | My first attempt at making an apple strudel.
I have a cooking apple tree in my back garden, and although I love apple crumble I wanted to make something different with them.
I had some ready-made puff pastry in the fridge and it seemed only right to give a go at making strudel.
Most recipes use filo pastry, but this actually worked quite well, although I would like to give my next attempt a go with filo to see the difference. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUf685qhDClb2slard | The second stage of our trip took us to Montreal. I'll be honest, Montreal is a city I've never really thought about visiting, but the more I read about it, the more I got excited about visiting.
Our journey to Montreal started on the train. We weighed up the options and looking at car, train and plane – the train won. For one it was pretty cheap, and two, it was the simplest. It's a 4-5 hr trip from Toronto to Montreal on the Via rail, which seems a long time if you're used to our scratchy, cramped UK train seats, but these are spacious, big windowed trains, with giant leather seats. And you can check your luggage in too so you don'thave to worry about finding somewhere to put it either. On the plane it would have probably taken as long with check in times, and in a car we'd have had to navigate there, and worry about the impending storm warning that had been issued for the Ontario area.
Oh, yes, we arrived in Montreal under massive storm weather warnings – and whilst the storm didn't materialise, the -20 temperatures it had promised to bring with it did. I think the warmest it was during our whole stay was -5, the coldest about -25. So on our first evening we didn't venture too far from our apartment, but as we were staying in the middle of the cool neighbourhoods Mile End and Le Plateau Mont Royal we had loads of restaurants to choose from.After doing a bit of Google mapping we settled on one called Sparrow, which was just a 5 minute walk from us, for snacks and beers before heading back to get our bearings, plan the next day and watch the Walking Dead on catch up! Zombies don't stop zombing for a holiday you know!
One of the things that struck me the most was how 'French'Montreal is. I knew people spoke French, and I knew that the packaging in Canada is dual language because of Quebec, but I hadn't considered how French it would be. But you walk into a restaurant, or shop, or bar and you're greeted in French. (And then when seeing my puzzled face, perfect English is second.) Road signs are in French first. The public transport is just in French. Conversations between diners on the next table to you are in a perfect mix of French and English. Like they are just one language. Which adds to the beauty of the city.
Our time in Montreal was mostly spent wandering, looking at the city. We didn't have many specific aims, or places we HAD to see which was nice as it meant we didn't have a huge agenda and got to dart about the city as we pleased. Jim had a few places he wanted to eat, but that was about it. And luckily for us, the mega storm that had been anticipated hit elsewhere in Canada and we had one real day of snow and a bit of an overcast afternoon. The rest of the time we had bluebird skies.
Our first day started with an epic breakfast at the cafe, Faberge, a few metres from the Airbnb we were in, I had the Smores waffles, Jim had mac n cheese eggs beni! Then we headed into Montreal for a look around. It was a bit of a baptism of fire with the cold. Our first day was about -15 most of the day with a pretty brutal wind blowing too occasionally, so walking around sight-seeing was interspersed with dashing inside places for warmth and derobing because it was so warm!
We walked to Old Montreal, which, whilst pretty wasn't quite what I expected, we visited the colourful Palais des congrès de Montréal, we rode the underground out to the Olympic Village and then headed back to Mile End for happy hour snacks. There were tacos and gin at Cartel Streetfood, and then we found the coolest little bar, Chez Simone, for beers and charcuteries. I think this might have been my favourite bar find of the holiday. The beers were served in the most beautiful, simple, glasses, and the charcuterie was really good. Plus, it was so French. The staff spoke French before English, the customers were 90% French speaking and there was just an air of cool about the place!
On day two in Montreal we were met with snow. Not loads of it, but enough to white wash the city and require another layer of clothing and hiding even our faces from the elements. Thank goodness for my fleece lined hiking boots. We had a plan to walk to a deli that Jim wanted to try, through Mont Royal Park, but as we got there we realised that there was an international cross country ski competition on, and the park was shut, so we skirted around it and made our way to Schwartz Deli, a place Jim had seen on the TV for smoked meat sandwiches and giant pickles.
Lunch was a followed by a tube ride to a far flung neighbour hood in search of the perfect doughnut and let me tell you, they were pretty perfect doughnuts from Leche Desserts. And then when Jim watched the football that afternoon I took the time to do a little bit of shopping, hitting up Sephora and Hudson Bay and wandering round LuluLemon.
Our day ended with some (giant jam jar for me) happy hour cocktails and goldfish crackers at La Distilerie, then we headed back to Mile End for dinner. Our last drink of the night, which was really not required if we're honest about it, was at a little old jazz bar round the corner from the apartment. it only opened at 9pm and even though it was a Wednesday by the time we left it was getting busy!
Our final proper day in Montreal started early for me, with an 7.30am wander round some of the beautiful streets of Mont Royal for about an hour and a half. It was a stunning bluebird sky day but man, it was cold. I had two pairs of gloves on and my fingers were still frozen. But my camera and I had a great time and there are about a thousand photos of beautiful houses waiting to show you another day!
We decided to try and find the underground city that morning, which resulted in us looking super confused at our phones and trying to figure out why when it said it was underneath us, we couldn't find a way in. In the end we walked into an office block to ask directions and there was an entrance! The undergroud city is slightly misleading title because most of it is not actually underground, but it's a series of tunnels, tube stations and shopping centres all connected - so in the midst of winter you can go to work, do your lunch break shopping and get home all without actually going outside. Perfect for those people walking about in their work gear - less so for Jim and I who had thermals on under our clothes!
After an hour or so walking through the shopping centres we caught the train out to the Île Sainte-Hélène to check out the Biodome. It has been decommissioned and the 'skin' has been removed which I'll be honest makes it all the more beautiful, especially with those skies. I mean, seriously, just look at that sky!
Our day was finished off with some giant bowls of Poutine at a place called Poutineville. You can't go to Montreal and not eat Poutine, can you? I think it might be illegal to do. We followed up the Poutine with some happy hour drinks around Mont Royal, our favourite bar being a little place called Bar le Lab on the edge of the park. Their cocktail menu was epic!
I was so sad to be leaving Montreal, it is such a cool, beautiful and interesting city. It felt like such a cosmopolitan city but also small enough to get to know your way around in a few days. I'd love to go back at some point, and explore more of the city, but maybe at a time we can take advantage of all the super cool roof terrace bars!
You can read about the first section of our holiday, in Toronto, here. And stay tuned for our time at Niagara Falls later this week, and the start of our time in America next week.
Where we stayed – our Airbnb was a small studio in the heart right between Mile End and Le Plateau Mont Royal. It was small, but had everything we needed. And cost us £25 a night too.The only problem we found was it is was a basement flat,it was a little noisy at going to work time! And the wifi was super spotty. To the point we had to pop to a café to call our cab on the last day!
The area though was pretty cool and one I would really recommend to stay in if you're in Montreal. It was close-ish to the underground stations (Laurier and Mont Royal were our closest) and had loads of bus connections with everywhere in the city we seemed to be coming from.
How we got about – We got to Montreal on Via Rail, and took and Uber from the train station which cost $17 and then again to the bus station for $16. Traveling about during our stay. We bought a 3 day travel pass for $19 each. It worked on the trains and the buses and meant we could hop on and off them as we pleased and we most certainly got our monies worth as we used public transport for everything.
Some of our favourite places we ate and drank - Once again, Jim did a lot of research into where to go, but we also use the MTL Blog to find out about coll places to visit too. Some of our favourites were Faberge for breakfast. La Distillerie and Bar le Lab for cocktails. Chez Simone for french cool and Scwartz deli for a classic Quebec Smoked Meat. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdiw4uBhi551MkB0V | The love of Christ doesn't change. Either does His stance on sin.
When people say that God evolves and changes over time they are incorrect. As the author of Hebrews points out, God's stance on sin does not change. It stays exactly the same. It's important to understand this so let me expound. Sin separates us from God. When we keep sinning, getting back to where we once were in our walk with God becomes more difficult because our separation creates distance. God doesn't create this distance. We do.
When Peter followed Jesus at a distance it led to trouble.
Even though Peter abandoned Jesus, Jesus still loved Peter the same. But Peter ran. Peter ran away, most likely not believing Jesus would really raise Himself from the dead three days later.
Some of us are running away from God.
Some of us are in the middle, not really knowing God, but knowing enough to get by.
Some of us are super close to God.
Peter, at one point in time, was all three. In the story above he was on the run due to the overwhelming guilt of denying Christ.
Aren't you glad the story doesn't end there? Let's pick it back up following the resurrection. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jesus found the tomb empty and had an encounter with Jesus...and Jesus still had Peter on His mind.
Jesus's love for Peter never changed. Jesus' love for you hasn't changed either. If your running away has caused a gap in your relationship with Jesus just remember that He is calling you by name and He's ready to welcome you home.

BkiUc8I5qsBC5C3p7Opn | Chlorella vulgaris ist eine einzellige Grünalge. Die Zellen haben einen Durchmesser von ca. 4–10 μm und eine kugelige Form. Die vegetative Vermehrung findet durch Bildung von Autosporen statt. Eine geschlechtliche Fortpflanzung ist nicht bekannt. C. vulgaris kommt in stehenden und Fließgewässern, sowohl in Süß- als auch Brackwasser vor, findet sich aber auch an festen Oberflächen. Sie ist weltweit verbreitet.
Diese Art wurde 1889 von Martinus Willem Beijerinck bei Delft isoliert. Sie ist als Typusart der Gattung Chlorella in offiziellen Stammsammlungen wie der Deutschen Sammlung von Mikroorganismen hinterlegt und wird dort weitergezüchtet.
Neben C. lobophora und C. sorokiniana gehört sie zur Gattung Chlorella innerhalb der Klasse der Trebouxiophyceae. C. vulgaris wurde früher zusammen mit anderen, ähnlich aussehenden Arten unter dem Namen C. pyrenoidosa geführt. 1992 konnte jedoch gezeigt werden, dass es eine Art "Chlorella pyrenoidosa" nicht gibt.
C. vulgaris wird als Modellorganismus in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung seit langer Zeit verwendet. Der Mechanismus der Photosynthese wurde mit dieser Alge entschlüsselt.
C. vulgaris kommt auch eine zunehmende wirtschaftliche Bedeutung zu. Diese Mikroalge kann in großen Mengen kultiviert werden und findet Einsatz als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel, als Rohstoff für die Kosmetikindustrie und als Larvenfutter in der Aquakultur. In Deutschland (Klötze in der Altmark) existiert die größte Mikroalgenfarm Europas, spezialisiert auf die Kultivierung von C.vulgaris.
In den 1950er Jahren begann man, sich mit der Kultivation von Mikroalgen wie C. vulgaris zu beschäftigen. Damals stand die Frage im Fokus, wie man die wachsende Weltbevölkerung zukünftig mit ausreichend Protein versorgen kann. Die getrocknete Biomasse von C.vulgaris enthält ca. 50 Prozent Protein und der Ertrag pro Hektar liegt mit bis zu 120 t/a weit über dem konventioneller Landwirtschaft (z. B. Weizen: ca. 7 t/a/ha).
Mittlerweile ist diese Alge auch als Quelle für bestimmte mehrfach ungesättigte Fettsäuren (z. B. alpha-Linolensäure) und Carotinoide (z. B. Lutein) interessant.
Symbiosen
C. vulgaris kommt als mutualistischer Symbiont in den Geweben der Süßwasser-Plattwürmer Dalyellia viridis und Typhloplana viridata (beide Ordnung Rhabdocoela) vor.
C. vulgaris (wird neben C. sorokiniana) parasitiert von dem räuberischen Bakterium Vampirovibrio chlorellavorus (Melainabacteria).

BkiUgdTxK7IADTol28yX | We might only be in September, but Christmas is just 3 months away and your colleagues will be expecting an invitation to the Christmas party night sometime soon!
Here's our mini guide to help you plan the perfect office Christmas party and ensure your office party goes with a bang.
The first thing you need to know is 'how much money can I spend on giving the team a night to remember?' Once the budget is set, be realistic with a venue choice and make sure you have a contingency plan for unforeseen costs or emergencies.
The day of the week is as important as the date itself, so set a date as soon as possible. Weekdays are usually cheaper than weekends but you have to think about whether you're staff will be in a fit state at work the morning after the night before!! Friday and Saturday nights are more popular, but availability will be limited and prices usually higher.
Make sure you get a date in everyone's diary as early as possible, then start the all-important task of finding a venue.
It's so important when looking for a venue to go and visit before you book to make sure it is suitable. A cheap venue might not be such a bargain if you have to add costs for novelties, decorations, furniture hire, etc.
Bright Vision Events offer a free venue finding service. Contact us to discuss what you need and our experts will use their experience, knowledge and in-depth venue database to find and recommend the location most suited to your particular requirements.
Is there flexibility in booking numbers?
Is the party package negotiable?
Does the quote include everything you expect?
A sit down meal or a buffet is the usual expectation at a Christmas party night. What would people prefer? Don't forget to cater for all dietary requirements.
The food at a party can make or break an event so make the right choice for your company and staff.
Music, entertainment and theming is important. Get the music right and your Christmas party will be talked about until the next party. Make sure you have some tunes to cater for every taste and get people up and dancing.
You may want to add some pre- dinner activities for example cocktail making or wine tasting. The options for post-dinner evening entertainment are endless: a magician or comedian, live band, casino tables or games tournament to name just a few.
Bright Vision Events have a fantastic range of evening entertainments. We'll be happy to talk through your requirements and recommend some superb entertainment for your party.
How are your guests going to get to the venue? Are they expected to arrange their own transport? If yes, make this clear on the invitation. If there is an option for an overnight stay at the venue, try to negotiate a special discounted rate. Let your colleagues know this is an option.
Make your invitations fun, creative and bright so it feels like a special event that everyone will look forward to. Ensure the RSVP is clear and gives a cut-off date.
Once you know how many people will be attending the event, you may want to organise a seating plan. Allowing everyone to sit where they like on the night can result in disappointment for some people, and it can also take a while to get everyone seated. A table plan is the best option!
Remember this is your party too, so sit back and relax; all your hard work is done. Enjoy your party!
Ask your colleagues for feedback. This will help for planning next year's party.
If you need some help with ideas or would like us to plan and manage your company's Christmas Party Night, contact us or call us on 01295 770933 for an in initial chat. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdaPxK7kjXIdG-z4A | Jacopo Antonio Sanvitale, né le à Parme et mort dans cette même ville le , est un diplomate et poète italien.
Biographie
Jacopo Antonio Sanvitale naquit à Parme, le . À l'âge de douze ans, il composa un quatrain latin à l'occasion de la promotion de Giulio Piazza au cardinalat. En 1720, il épousa une demoiselle Cenci, et peu après son père et son frère Frédéric étant entrés dans la compagnie de Jésus, il se trouva maître absolu d'une fortune considérable. Il se lia alors avec tout ce que Parme contenait d'hommes distingués par le talent ou la science, et il devint leur Mécène. Le duc Antoine Farnèse avait pour lui une estime particulière ; il le nomma d'abord grand connétable de l'Ordre sacré et militaire constantinien de Saint-Georges, puis membre de la régence qui devait gouverner l'État après sa mort, qui eut lieu le 20 janvier 1731. À cette époque, on croyait que sa veuve, la duchesse Henriette, était enceinte, et la régence remplit ses fonctions jusqu'au moment où le contraire fut établi. La couronne ducale étant alors dévolue à l'infant d'Espagne don Carlos, le comte Sanvitale alla complimenter ce prince à Pise, d'abord, le 13 février 1732, au nom de la municipalité, dont il était membre ; puis, le 27 mars suivant, au nom de l'ordre de Constantin. Cependant don Carlos, ne pouvant pas encore prendre possession de ses États, qui lui étaient disputés par l'Autriche et étaient occupés par une armée sous les ordres du maréchal Pallavicino, chargea le comte Sanvitale de veiller à ce que le bon ordre régnât à Parme. Sa conduite, à la fois ferme et courtoise vis-à-vis des chefs de l'armée autrichienne, le fit réussir dans cette mission. En 1737, il se rendit à Vienne et captiva la faveur de l'empereur Charles VI. Trois ans plus tard, il fit un second voyage dans cette capitale, où il avait été appelé par ce même prince, qui, arrivé à son heure dernière, témoigna au comte son regret de ne pouvoir plus lui donner autrement qu'en paroles des marques de son affection. Lorsque Marie-Thérèse fonda, en 1741, une académie à Parme, Sanvitale en fut nommé membre sous le nom d'Eaco Panellenio, et ce fut dans son palais qu'eut lieu la première réunion (9 avril 1741). Les États de Parme ayant été rendus à la maison de Bourbon, l'infant don Philippe choisit pour le représenter à Paris le comte Sanvitale, qui remplit ces fonctions de 1751 à 1759. Revenu à Parme, le 10 novembre de cette dernière année, il renonça entièrement aux affaires, fit même cession à son fils de la majeure partie de ses biens et ne s'occupa plus que des études qui avaient déjà rempli une grande partie de sa vie. Le comte Sanvitale mourut à Parme, le , regretté de tous, surtout des gens de lettres, qu'il avait protégés. Son cœur fut déposé dans l'église de l'Annonciation, où la famille possédait une chapelle, et le corps fut transporté dans Fontanellato, un des fiefs du défunt. Son éloge fut prononcé par le P. Luca Antonio Pagnini, professeur d'éloquence à l'université.

Voici le jugement qu'a porté de ce livre Champollion-Figeac dans sa Notice des accroissements de la bibliothèque de Grenoble : « C'est, dit-il, un traité de morale revêtu des formes poétiques et mythologiques et où se trouvent toutes les spéculations d'une âme enthousiaste de la vertu et des qualités morales qui ennoblissent l'homme. »
Poème en quatre chants, publié à l'occasion d'une prise de voile, Parme, 1757, in- 4°. Il n'y a que le premier chant qui soit de Sanvitale.

A landlord who has invested in rental properties throughout Yeovil asked me recently about the property market in her home village of West Coker.
The village lies approximately 3 miles to the South West of Yeovil, it currently has one operating pub, the Royal George, has a butchers, a garage/MOT centre, post office and Lanes Hotel and Restaurant. The neighbourhood* of West Coker contains roughly 1600 people or 670 households. What we found out about the village's property market was quite interesting. The current average value of a property in West Coker is £259,000 which is £83,000 below the average of its neighbouring village of East Coker. The most expensive street in West Coker is Dibbles Lane where an average property is worth in excess of £400,000. There have been 97 house sales in West Coker over the past 5 years,
The most expensive property was an attractive period house on East Street, which sold for £840,000 in 2011. Only 10 people have sold their property in the last 12 months, according to Rightmove. From a lettings perspective, the average rent in the village over the last 3 years has been £575 per month, and there are a surprising number of rental properties in such a small rural village, ranging from 4 or 5 bedroom detached houses to smaller 1 or 2 bedroom cottages, annexes and apartments.
If you would like to come and discuss property in the area, you are welcome to visit our office in Yeovil or call me today!

BkiUdaHxK7FjYHGH0MYG | Coach, despite the obvious good serve receive and defense, what does a college coach look for in a libero? If DS 1 and DS 2 are both good passers, who gets the libero position?
My daughter is in 8th grade and will be trying out for perennially one of the top high school programs in the state (and even nation some years) this summer. Her goal is to make JV as a freshman though that is a super lofty goal - they are loaded with back row talent in the grade above her.
Right now we are on a so-so club team but good coach, and are taking weekly libero lessons from a former libero at this high school. Working on all aspects of back row play.
Any other suggestions to get her in a position to set herself apart?
The most competitive college volleyball recruiting position is the Libero/Defensive Specialist. This is because there are significantly more high school Senior Liberos than there are Freshman Libero roster spots; and we are not even talking about Scholarships (Scholarships, scholarships, we're talking about scholarships?...channeling my inner A.I. - ASJr. gets the reference).
With the development of this position in International (Club volleyball) and College volleyball, it has become the catch all position for club volleyball - The short player, the not tall enough outside, the setter who is too short or not talented enough to set in college, the outside who doesn't hit with power, etc.
Generally, the LIbero position is the last one recruited by college coaches (OH, MB, Setters and then.......Liberos); this is because college coaches can usually find a solid Libero late in the recruiting process as a result of the sheer number of players in this position.
Because the Libero position is so competitive, separating yourself from the other Liberos is critical to obtaining your collegiate playing goal.
VolleyFamilies would be surprised at the sheer volume of back row players (Liberos/DS's) which are spectacularly average yet feel comfortable in their belief of deserving a collegiate roster position. Just because you play the position on your club team, and are on the court, does not mean you are talented enough to play at the collegiate level.
I will randomly watch club volleyball matches, with nationally recognized club programs, and routinely see Liberos not move their feet, not go to the floor after a ball, pass easy serves to the 3 meter line, dig easy balls at 20 feet, forget to cover their hitters, etc. Even more surprising, is to see club coaches accepting these poor quality plays. When 17's and 18's club players are allowed to make routinely marginal, below grade plays by the club coach, then the player has no motivation (other than the endangered species of self motivation) to play to a higher standard.
The difference between the Libero who gets the collegiate roster spot/scholarship and the one who doesn't is Effort and Attitude. The difference between the Libero who plays and the one who doesn't is Effort and Attitude.
Effort - Being physically where you should be at all times. Taking the extra step on serve receive to center the ball into your torso. Making the effort to get your body lower to the ground to properly present your passing platform. Pushing through the pass to get the ball to within 3 feet of the net for the setter. Having the leg strength to get under a dig and push it up in front of the 3 meter line. Exploding through a low defensive posture to dive forward for a tipped/deflected ball. Going from standstill to full speed in 1 second to chase down another player's bad touch upon the ball. Sprinting cross court to get into coverage position. Holding your defensive position when the block fails, and you know you are going to take a body shot.
None of the above examples are anything exceptional; they are the job description of being a good Libero.
Attitude - Attitude will determine your Effort. Your mind controls your body. Attitude is communicating with your passers and defenders about positional responsibility before the rally starts. Attitude is going after that deflected ball which you only have a 3% chance of actually touching. Never letting a ball touch the floor without getting as close to it as possible. Ensuring that all down balls, free balls, easy digs, easy serves are always within 2 steps of the setting area. Calling each and every touch upon the ball, and reinforcing when the ball is another player's responsibility. Never taking a play off. Always supporting your team mates efforts; praising when great plays happen and lifting up when poor plays occur.
None of the above examples are rah rah cheerleader examples but rather having the mind set of being great in your position.
I have had 2 great Liberos play for me - One was almost silent as a player and One was never silent as a player. Both were great Liberos because of their Effort and Attitude. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUfQk25V5jWKzzUvaj | There are no potatoes in sight here!
Instead, try delish root veggies like mushrooms, bell pepper, onions, carrots, beets, and rutabaga.
Cut them into thick slices more like "wedges" to make this easier.
You want them as uniform as possible so they all cook the same amount.
Toss veggies in a big bowl with melted coconut oil.
When cooking at high temps, coconut oil is a better choice than olive oil because it says more stable (i.e. doesn't turn rancid) when you turn up that heat!
Rutabagas are root vegetables high in fiber, vitamin C and potassium — so it's great for your immune system, keeping you fuller longer, and because of the potassium, can help with blood pressure. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Honorable Samuel Beecher Hart, a Pennsylvania legislator and captain of the Gray Invincibles, proposed the memorial
Installed in a remote area in West Fairmount Park in 1934
Relocated in 1994 to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway as originally proposed
The Honorable Samuel Beecher Hart, a Pennsylvania legislator and captain of the Gray Invincibles, the last "colored" unit in the Pennsylvania Militia, proposed a memorial to the state's African American military men who had served the United States in wartime. In 1927 funds were appropriated to construct "a lasting record of their unselfish devotion to duty." After considerable dispute about placing the sculpture on the Parkway, officials agreed on a site in West Fairmount Park.
Sixty years after its installation in a remote area of Fairmount Park, the city relocated the All Wars Memorial to a much more visible site on the Parkway
At the top of the All Wars Memorial, sculptor J. Otto Schweizer placed a "torch of life," surrounded by four American eagles. Below, as the central figure at the front of the memorial, stands the allegorical figure of Justice, holding symbols of Honor and Reward. To the left and right are groups of African American soldiers and sailors, both officers and enlisted men. Allegorical figures at the rear of the monument represent the principles for which American wars have been fought.

In 1994 an extraordinary and overdue event occurred. Sixty years after its installation in a remote area of Fairmount Park, the city relocated the All Wars Memorial to a much more visible site on the Parkway, as originally proposed. A day of festivities was organized thanks to an enthusiastic civic group, The Committee to Restore and Relocate the All Wars Memorial.

BkiUduI5qhDBdMC-FWYg | OK, so maybe stench is too strong a word. (Schutze is shaking his head no.) This is actually what council member Jerry Allen said when kicking off today's meeting of the council's Budget, Finance and Audit Committee: There's an "image problem" at City Hall, which has been "tainted by ethical acts, and the challenge for us is to find ways to establish a clear ethical standard and use it to reduce the negative perceptions that rightly exist with citizens."
Allen said yet another ethical overhaul isn't just his idea -- it's Mayor Mike's too. Remember? Sure you do. Thing is, Dallas has an Ethics Advisory Commission -- has since 2000. Which clearly ain't workin' out too well. So back to basics we go. Again.
Said Allen, it's time to "put in a new ethical culture at City Hall. This change is not going to happen overnight, winning back the trust of the citizens won't be easy, and we'll do this one brick at a time as we build back the foundation" of trust. At which point everyone held hands and sang a Billy Joel song. Or not.
Allen's remarks were by way of introducing Gary Morris and Michael Webb of the home Greater Dallas Business Ethics Award, which acknowledges companies that act above-board. Allen really, really wants that award, which Morris's group has been handing out since 2000 to "very positive beacons of ethical behavior in our community." And then there's Dallas City Hall.
Morris and Webb spent quite a while explaining ethics to the council committee, which includes Ann Margolin and Tennell Atkins, the latter of whom insisted, "We try to be fair, but we're not perfect." At one point, Morris made ethics awful simple to understand: "Do unto others are you would have them do unto you." But, said Atkins, this is "not something that'll happen overnight." And why not?
Because, as Margolin pointed out, City Auditor Craig Kinton is in the middle of doing an ethics audit of the city, which Allen said is due in about three months. "We're going to ask [for] a benchmark on where we're at when it comes to ethics and an ethics culture compared to other cities," Allen said, adding that the council is also asking the Ethics Advisory Committee to also "prepare a list of best practices ... and to review our code of ethics." Thirty days after that audit's turned in, Allen said, the commission will return with its findings and recommendations.
"And then, as the commission is doing this, I would hope that maybe we keep it as simple as possible," he said. "[Earlier in the meeting] we were talking about: Do not do anything your mother would be disappointed in you for. As I was talking to professors at SMU about this, they said, 'God was able to put it all into Ten Commandments on one piece of paper.' It's important we keep this simple."
At which point Randy Skinner, the chair of the Ethics Advisory Commission, chimed in, insisting that, look, the city's made "great progress" when it comes to writing guidelines for how elected officials ought to conduct themselves. But there's a long way to go, he said, especially since the city's inch-thick ethics rulebook "doesn't cover campaign contributions or the campaign cycle, which is where we seem to have some challenges. And it doesn't cover the clients -- the public -- we deal with."
The city, he said, also lacks "an understanding, maybe because of the culture we live in with so many moral compasses, [of] how do we conduct ourselves among each other. And then in the public arena it's also about perception. ... There is a perception if you do business with City Hall [that] you pay to play. That's where there's a challenge, there has to be an eduction in the public arena and even [among] the business entities. Some of them believe: 'If we're going to get something passed at City Hall, we have to make campaign contributions.' How do we make it a culture that filters down to the voting booth -- that ethical violations are not wanted, desired and will not be tolerated."
Morris said, look, that's easy: "Claim that moral high ground."
"Claim the high ground," he repeated. "Claim the high ground."
Wait, what's that, Jim? Sorry, Schutze is shaking his head again. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdjY5qoTBAjokpzYs | Affiliate marketing has become one of the most effective ways to make money online. However, with so much competition for traffic and clicks, becoming a super affiliate is an incredibly difficult task. But if becoming a super affiliate is your goal, then these tips should help get you on the right path. Here are four strategies to help you become a super affiliate.
The first thing that you need to do is gain an in-depth understanding of your audience. You must be aware of their specific interests, expectations, language, and other important nuances. Only then will you be able to create affiliated ads that will entice them instantly and encourage them to click on it and find out further about that ad.
While creating your ads you must be clear about your niche. Adding a lot of unrelated, irrelevant stuff will render your ad useless and ultimately a waste of money for you. Don't try to scatter your content or add meaningless things to it. Focus on producing content that's more in demand and sought out by large groups of people.
You can use search engine marketing to promote your website and ads. You can also use marketing practices including Pay Per Click tools, but you should only use them when you're sure about your work and plans, otherwise it may cause you to spend a lot of money on Google Adwords or Overture.
Every online marketer knows that on the Internet, nothing remains same. New strategies, layouts, designs, etc., arrive daily and make outdated things less popular, and eventually worthless. It's important to know about the latest affiliate marketing strategies and keep yourself up-to-date on these trends because on the Internet, the thing that worked a few months ago can be completely ineffective and worthless today. Using an outdated strategy can affect your business and marketing campaign in a profoundly negative way, so it's always better to do your research about trending topics and current events before launching new affiliate campaigns. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Montgomery County judge calls Gov. Abbott's executive orders unclear
Judge to allow all businesses to reopen Friday
HOUSTON – All Montgomery County businesses will be free to reopen on Friday despite Governor Greg Abbott's executive order requiring some to remain closed.
County Judge Mark J. Keough says he will not enforce the order because it is too vague.
Abbott announced a phased reopening of Texas Monday, saying in Phase 1 that begins Friday, restaurants, retail stores, movie theaters malls, museums and libraries may reopen 25% occupancy while following social distancing guidelines. However, other businesses like beauty and barber shops, gyms, bars, and tattoo parlors will not be allowed to reopen yet. Abbott said it would be mid-May before they are allowed to reopen, provided there are no flare-ups of the virus following Phase 1.
After releasing his executive order Monday, Abbott said he's still working on guidelines for reopening those businesses. However, some minimum health protocols are in place for the businesses that will be allowed to reopen Friday.
"Today's announcement is not the end of the work, we go to work this afternoon on solutions for businesses like hair salons," Abbott said Monday.
But Keough says the governor's order is too vague to be enforced.
"We are not going to be issuing tickets on things that we cannot get clarity on. I can tell you that. This is not clear." he said.
Keough said the problem is that even though Abbott said those businesses would remain closed in his remarks Monday, his executive order doesn't say that. Rather, it encourages customers to avoid them.
The order reads in part:
"People shall avoid visiting bars, gyms, public swimming pools, interactive amusement venues such as bowling alleys and video arcades, massage establishments, tattoo studios, piercing studios, or cosmetology salons."
Keough says Abbott "needs to say these businesses are closed until further notice. The order does not say that. It says people should avoid these businesses."
Without clarification, Keough says the governor's order can't be legally enforced and that it won't be in Montgomery County.
"I informed the people today, unless the governor comes out with a clarification, as far as we're concerned, you can be open. But, we're not going to enforce it one way or another," Keough said.
If other counties follow suit and elect to enact a hard and fast return to business as usual, it could raise concerns about controlling the spread of coronavirus.
A staff member with Keough's office said late Tuesday that Abbott agreed that the order was vague and is planning to issue a clarification.
The attorney general's office said they would release a revision of the governor's order Thursday afternoon.

BkiUeUrxK0zjCobCPeVO | Q: How to add dynamic form on a button click in react? I am making a react app in which i need to add a form whenever button is clicked. Presently i am doing by increasing a counter and displaying the forms based on number in counter. But i need to submit all forms and get data on a single button click but i am having submit for each form and data of that particular form is gained.How to solve this??
This is how i am displaying forms:
var HocAddForm = function(AbstractComponent,title){
return class extends React.Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state={
anotherForm:1
}
this.newForm=this.newForm.bind(this);
}
newForm(){
this.setState({
anotherForm:this.state.anotherForm+1
})
}
displayForm(){
let forms = [];
for(let i = 0; i < this.state.anotherForm; i++){
forms.push(
<div key={i}>
<AbstractComponent/>
</div>
)
}
console.log(this.state.value);
return forms || null;
}
render() {
const anotherForm=this.state.anotherForm;
const heading=title;
return(
<div>
<button id="add-button" onClick={this.newForm}>AddForm</button>
<h3 className="form-place">{heading}</h3>
{this.displayForm()}
</div>
)
}
}
}
My AbstractComponent is:
class Experiance extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Form onSubmit={this.props.onSubmit}>
<fieldset disabled={this.props.disabled}>
<Input
type="text"
name="companyName"
title="Company Name"
value=""
/>
<Input
type="number"
name="experiance"
title="No.of Years Worked"
value=""
/>
</fieldset>
<button id="button-right">
{this.props.buttonName}
</button>
</Form>
);
}
}
A: I would go with state in this case, keep your forms as an array of nodes, on Click add new component to array and then in render to the simple map on the array
pseudocode:
state = {
forms: []
}
onClickMethod () => {
this.setState(state=> state.forms.push(<Experience />))
}
render() {
return (
...
<form className="forms" onSubmit={this.onSubmit}> //your container
this.state.forms.map(item => <item />)
</form>
)
}

A: I strongly recommend you not to do that cause from my experience most users won't login to Facebook via your app instead of FB application or browser. They just don't trust third party apps.
edit:
But if you still do not want to use browser/FBApplication you need to change:
- (void)authorize:(NSArray *)permissions

localAppId:(NSString *)localAppId {
self.localAppId = localAppId;
self.permissions = permissions;

[self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:YES safariAuth:YES];

BkiUdsg4eIOjR9_GgM9q | Corrosion of alloys – Since human mankind is using tools, equipment and machines, degradation by wear and especially corrosion of metals is one of the key points deciding about fail or success of technical applications. If corrosion is addressed from the very beginning of a product life cycle following design, manufacturing, commissioning, in-service operation and finally decommissioning, it can be handled by best practice in terms of mechanistically oriented degradation and ageing management. Amongst others, corrosion of alloys in technical aqueous environments, the so called electrochemical corrosion of metals, is one of the key issues to be solved in any technical application.
AREVA is a key player in the nuclear and renewable energy industry sector with a strong focus on safety, reliability and maintenance. Based on our long track record in supporting outages and trouble-shooting in nuclear power plants, we are familiar with complex maintenance and repair challenges to be solved under extreme time schedule constraints and conditions. Over the past decades - amongst others - AREVA sustainably developed competencies and experience in corrosion technology being a vital contributor for materials strategies and investment & repair decisions.
The webinar will highlight and illustrate by examples the possibilities of corrosion engineering as well as adequate testing capabilities to address corrosion related questions from the field avoiding unexpected and costly surprises.
Learn how mechanistically understanding of "electrochemical corrosion" can change your challenges into opportunities!
Bastian Devrient studied Materials Science and Corrosion / Surface Technology at the University Erlangen-Nuremberg. In 2002, he joined AREVA as Project and Research Engineer in field of Materials & Corrosion with specific focus on environmentally assisted cracking in typical plant relevant environments for generation of electrical energy.

The PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. James MORRISON, Defendant and Appellant.
James Morrison, in pro. per. for defendant and appellant. Stanley Mosk, Atty. Gen., William E. James, Asst. Atty. Gen., Norman H. Sokolow, Deputy Atty. Gen., for plaintiff and respondent.
In an amended information filed by the district attorney of Los Angeles County, defendant was charged in Count I with committing an assault with a deadly weapon in violation of Penal Code, section 245; in Count II with kidnapping for the purpose of robbery, in violation of Penal Code, section 209; and in Counts III and IV with robbery, in violation of section 211 of the Penal Code. Count I was dismissed prior to the trial. The information further alleged at the time of the commission of the offenses in Counts II, III and IV, defendant was armed with a deadly weapon, namely, a metal bar used and intended to be used as a club. The information further alleged two prior felony convictions.
Defendant was represented by counsel. Defendant pleaded not guilty to each count and denied the priors as alleged. The jury returned a verdict of guilty as to each count, found that defendant was armed at the time of the commission of the offenses, fixed the degree of the robbery counts to be that of the first degree, and found the priors as alleged to be true. Defendant and all counsel waived a jury trial as to the determination of the penalty on Count II. The court fixed the penalty thereon as life imprisonment without possibility of parole. Defendant and all counsel waived the right to file an application for probation and requested immediate sentence. Probation was denied. Motion for new trial was denied. Defendant was sentenced to state prison for the term of his natural life, without possibility of parole as to Count II and for the term prescribed by law as to each of Counts III and IV. Sentences as to Counts III and IV were ordered to run consecutively with one another, but concurrently with the sentence pronounced in Count II. Defendant prosecutes this appeal from the judgment of conviction and from the order denying his motion for a new trial.
Marcia Stanfield testified she left her residence on March 1, 1962, around 10:00 a. m. She locked the doors and secured the windows before her departure. She returned around 1:00 p. m. and went upstairs to a closet in the bedroom where she discovered defendant. Defendant began beating her with a metal bar. She fell to the floor and was unconscious for awhile. Defendant removed $30 from her purse as well as a ring and a watch from her dresser. She told defendant she had $1,000 downstairs in the hope she could escape by the front door. Defendant forced her downstairs by holding her. She attempted to escape by the front door, but defendant forcibly dragged her up the stairs. She testified she went downstairs willingly but was dragged back upstairs against her will. Defendant began beating her again, pulled her into the bathroom and advised her he wished to change into some of her husband's clothes. She attempted to lock the door but defendant pulled her out of the bathroom and beat her again with the iron bar. Defendant changed clothes and told her to lie down alongside her bed on the floor and she complied. He warned her to remain on the the floor for fifteen minutes as he left the room.
A doctor testified that Mrs. Stanfield's injuries included a moderately severe brain concussion, a fractured skull, compound lacerations of the scalp, a compound fracture of the left elbow and a compound fracture of the right hand.
Arnold Mollman testified he observed defendant park a blue Cadillac in front of the victim's house. He saw defendant approach the house and ring the doorbell. Later, he saw defendant get into the car and pull away and a few minutes thereafter the go to the bank. He returned about 1:00 p. m. screaming and was covered with blood. The witness assisted the victim into a taxicab.
Another victim, Harry K. Boone, testified that on February 28, 1962, he left his house and his wife at approximately 12:30 p. m. to go to the bank. He returned about 1:00 p. n. and noticed a 1959 blue Cadillac parked in front of his house. He attempted to enter his home through the front door but it was locked. He went to the rear door and that was locked. He entered with his key through the rear door and went through the kitchen, living room and then into the bedroom and saw a stranger, identified as defendant, wearing white gloves and holding a big iron bar in his hands. Defendant grabbed him and turned him around, and threatening him, took $250 or more from his billfold and left the billfold on the dresser. He then left through the front door, passing the witness's wife as she was returning home, entered a blue Cadillac and drove away.
The witness testified he made an investigation of the windows and discovered one had been pried open by someone. Screens had been taken out and a stool was set in front of the window. He further testified the windows were all closed and the screens in good order when he left to go to the bank.
Defendant testified in his own behalf. He admitted he entered the Stanfield home with intention to burglarize. He further testified that had anyone been at home he would not have entered. He heard a noise and tried to find a place to hide because he could not get out of the room without being seen. He heard footsteps on the stairway, so he hid in the closet. The person came immediately to the closet and when she started to scream, he hit her over the head with a pipe and as she continued to scream he continued to beat her. He removed the money from the victim's purse and took a ring and watch from the dresser. After he knocked her to the floor, he attempted to tie her up with a stocking and a scarf, and asked her if there was any more money in the house. She stated there was a thousand dollars downstairs and they went downstairs to get the money. Instead of getting any money the victim ran to the door. Defendant told her they would go back upstairs. She said 'Don't hold my collar so tight, I can hardly breathe.' Defendant forcibly took her back upstairs, holding her collar tightly, and asked where her husband's clothes were, that he wanted to change his clothing. She pointed out her husband's clothes to him and he began to change. He made her lie down beside the bed, face down and told her not to move. After he changed into her husband's clothes he told her to lie there for ten or fifteen minutes, then he left the residence.
Defendant does not contend that the evidence was insufficient to justify the verdict, nor does he contend that the conviction in Count IV (the robbery of Mr. Boone) falls within the proscription of Penal Code, section 654 by virtue of his conviction and sentence in Count II.
The two robberies in Counts II and IV were entirely separate and distinct and involved different victims. (See People v. Lagomarsino, 97 Cal.App.2d 92, 100, 217 P.2d 124.)
Defendant does contend that Counts II and III, kidnapping for purpose of robbery and robbery, set forth two offenses which were committed in a continuous course of criminal conduct and that he can only be sentenced and punished once for such course of conduct, pursuant to section 654 of the Penal Code. We agree that only one punishment may be imposed and that is for the more serious of the two offenses. However, the evidence is ample and sufficient to sustain convictions on each of the separate offenses set forth in Counts II and III.
The evidence reveals defendant entered the victim's home to commit theft which he did in fact commit. He was surprised by the victim's return to her home. He used a weapon which the jury found to be a deadly weapon, i. e., a metal bar, to take the money from the victim's purse. After being beaten with the metal bar, the victim was taken downstairs in the hope of a second robbery in the sum of $1,000. The victim was then forced against her will up the stairs where she was again assaulted and beaten with the bar, causing bodily harm. Kidnapping for the purpose of robbery was then complete. The evidence is sufficient and ample to support defendant's conviction on both these counts.
Defendant can be punished for either of the offenses in Counts II and III, but not both of them. As stated in People v. McFarland, 58 A.C. 763, 777, 26 Cal.Rptr. 473, 481, 376 P.2d 449, 457, 'With respect to the procedure to be followed on appeal where double punishment has been erroneously imposed, it should be stressed that section 654 proscribes double punishment, not double conviction; conduct giving rise to more than one offense within the meaning of the statute may result in initial conviction of both crimes, only one of which, the more serious offense, may be punished. [Citation.] The appropriate procedure, therefore, is to eliminate the effect of the judgment as to the lesser offense insofar as the penalty alone is concerned. [Citation.]'
Of the two offenses involved here, kidnapping for the purpose of robbery in violation of section 209, the offense in which the person kidnapped suffered bodily harm is the one subject to the greater punishment. (Penal Code, §§ 209, 211.) Accordingly, it is necessary to reverse the judgment to the extent that it relates to the punishment for robbery in Count III.
Defendant next contends that sentences pronounced in Counts III and IV were made to run consecutively, that this was double punishment added to the life sentence without possibility of parole as pronounced in Count II, and is enjoined by section 669 of the Penal Code. With this we do agree. '* * * section 209, under the circumstances here present, unequivocally provides for a straight life sentence. Likewise, it is clear under Penal Code section 669 that all sentences for other crimes must run concurrently with a life sentence. [Citations.]' (People v. Velarde, 201 A.C.A. 291, 294, 19 Cal.Rptr. 832, 834.)
The judgment is reversed insofar as it imposes a sentence for robbery in Count III. That portion of the judgment which reads 'Sentence as to Counts III and IV are ordered to run consecutively one to the other, but concurrently with sentence in Count II' is modified to read: 'No sentence is pronounced as to Count III and the sentence pronounced in Count IV is ordered to run concurrently with the sentence pronounced in Count II.' In all other respects the judgment is affirmed and the purported appeal from the order denying the motion for a new trial is dismissed.

BkiUdVQ25YjgKDfmR2rC | The airport of Sabetta is the best air harbor of Russia
Категории: News in English
The international airport "Sabetta" in Yamal became a laureate of the prize "Air Gates of Russia" in the nomination "The best airport 2017". The airport received the second prize in the category "Airport of regional significance" with the carrying capacity less than 500 thousand passenger per year. Awarding of airports-prizewinners took place within the jubilee National exhibition of infrastructure of civil aviation NAIS – 2018.
Experts evaluated on criteria objectively reflecting work of terminals and services: quality of servicing of clients, operational indexes, transportation security, non-aviation activity of airports and others. The juries of the prize "Air Gates of Russia" included representatives of leading Russian airline companies, branch experts and heads of associations.
As we should remind, in 2016 the international airport "Sabetta" was recognized the winner of the prize in the nomination "The best airport". It is a strategic object for fulfillment of the large project "Yamal LNG". On the 29th of July of 2015, according to the decree of the Russian government, the airport was opened for fulfillment of international flights. The cargo and passenger checking point across the state border was set in it.
This is one of the first Russian arctic airports constructed from scratch with use of special technologies on strengthening of permafrost water-flooded soils. Earlier only a helicopter pad worked here. After appearing of the airport the settlement Sabetta practically is becoming the largest international transportation hub in Yamal. Nearby there is the seaport to provide year-round navigation on the Northern Sea Route and development of Russian icebreaking fleet. Construction of the railroad line connecting the airport of Bovanenkovo with the airport of Sabetta was started. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdho4eIOjRyLa5A3e | It is characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior which manifests during the developmental period (it is a neurodevelopmental disorder, but we deemed it appropriate to devote a separate category to it).
This may be due to multiple causes (metabolic, infectious, chromosomal, etc..) And arise at different times (before the baby is born, during birth or due to a serious illness in infancy).
Social and practical skills are affected, that is to say, the skills needed for daily living, work and play in the community: communication, social and interpersonal skills, self-care, domestic life, self-control, basic academic skills (reading, writing and basic math), work, leisure, health and safety. It is considered that a limitation exists in adaptive capacities if there is a deficit in at least two of these areas when compared with children of the same age and culture. Bearing in mind that intellectual disability manifests when a person with significant limitations interacts with their environment, how this manifests depends just as much on the person as it does on the barriers or obstacles presented by this environment.
As this is more or less a facilitator, disability is expressed differently. Thus, an individual's intellectual disability is not a fixed entity and impossible to change. And will be modified by biological growth and development of the individual and the availability and quality of support received, with constant and ongoing interaction between the subject and his or her environment. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUd3nxK5YsWV5L4IIy | A young East Bay man indicted on charges related to terrorism and identity theft pleaded not guilty in federal court Wednesday morning in front of a crowded courtroom full of family and friends.
Amer Alhaggagi, 22, walked into court with a smile on his face and his long hair pulled back in a ponytail. He's accused of supporting ISIS by opening social media accounts to promote the terrorist group.
In court records obtained by NBC Bay Area, federal prosecutors allege that between July and November of last year, Alhaggagi conspired to kill thousands of people across the Bay Area by blowing up gay night clubs, planting explosives on the University of California, Berkeley campus, and setting fire to the Berkeley Hills.
Alhaggagi's attorney, though, said her client never intended to carry out any attacks.
"What we have is a young man who was barely 21 at the time, who said a lot of things that he didn't intend to do, who is not radicalized in any way," attorney Mary McNamara said following Wednesday's arraignment.
McNamara said the case amounts to a matter of words, not deeds, which makes it different than most of the terrorism-related cases she's seen.
But federal prosecutors contend Alhaggagi did intend to act.
During a previous detention hearing, they said Alhaggagi met face-to-face with an undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS sympathizer. Prosecutors say he took the undercover agent on a tour of the Bay Area to point out possible targets for an attack. They also say he gave the agent several backpacks that could be used to carry explosives.
That version of events was disputed by McNamara.
McNamara said Alhaggagi cut off all contact with that undercover agent when he began to believe the undercover agent may actually be planning a real attack. Court records show prosecutors don't dispute Alhaggagi did eventually sever ties with that agent.
Following the arraignment, Jehan Hakim, a community advocate for the Asian Law Caucus, read a statement on behalf of the Alhaggagi family.
Alhaggagi is scheduled to be back in court next week. If convicted, he faces up to 47 years in prison. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbHU4uzqh_FfD4z9V | Veterinary practice to locate in Mathews C.H.
By Sherry Hamilton on August 18, 2021
Dr. Danielle Verderame of Animal Care of Gloucester (shown here with a four-legged patient) said her practice has purchased a building in Mathews and is in the process of renovating it to create Animal Care of Mathews.
After three years with no veterinary services in Mathews County, a veterinary clinic is coming to the downtown area.Dr. Danielle Verderame of Animal Care of Gloucester said her practice has purchased the building that most recently housed the Thrifty Spot on Buckley Hall Road and is in the process of renovating it to create a full-service small animal practice, Animal Care of Mathews.
Renovations are expected to take around five months, she said, with opening expected by the new year.
The clinic will offer surgery, dentistry, X-rays, wellness visits, and "all the standard veterinary services," she said. It will be open Monday through Friday.
Staff from Animal Care of Gloucester will rotate to the Mathews clinic, said Verderame, including technicians, veterinary assistants, and doctors. The Gloucester office has five veterinarians, and three of them—Dr. Verderame, Dr. Weston Betts, and Dr. Christina Long—will take turns in the Mathews office.

In The Spirit Of Crazy Horse
Two of America's literary greats—E.L. Doctorow and Peter Matthiessen—transiting via Delhi after a nature trip, talk of how big money is ruling, and ruining, the literary world
Sagarika Ghose ON E.L. Doctorow, Peter Matthiessen
Jitender Gupta
Sagarika Ghose April 16, 2001 00:00 IST In The Spirit Of Crazy Horse
Two venerable American authors say international publishing has become a "rat's nest" and if they were young authors today they would be "very discouraged". It was in 1975 that E.L. Doctorow published the massively successful Ragtime, a sprawling, epic sweep of America in 1906, which some critics said changed the way novels could be written. Three years later, in 1978, Peter Matthiessen—often called the modern Thoreau—published The Snow Leopard, a "classic of modern nature writing", again an international bestseller about the writer's physical and emotional journey deep into the Himalayas in search of one of the world's most mysterious big cats.
"When we began writing, publishing was a cottage industry," says Doctorow, 70. "Now, the big conglomerates have taken over." "In our days," adds the 73-year-old Matthiessen with a grin, "people who were crazy about books smoked pipes, drank too much, had a good time and talked about books all the time. Publishers would publish poetry because they believed in it. Now it is so much about making money." The American...

BkiUbnM5qrqCyt4L1GVi | Bitcoin has been rallying for what seems like forever, but there is a fairly significant set of resistances in the chart that will likely be reached today or tomorrow. A long-term 5th arc (black) and shorter-term arcs (the green 2nd arc will likely yield, but the next two will likely have a lot of stopping power, especially the last one. The 3rd arc and 5th arcs intersect exactly at energy point. Energy point is TODAY. Likely not a coincidence.
Last time we took a close look at ETH it was bouncing off support at 90. Wow – what a difference a day makes. Traders should take some profits soon. IMHO this vertical rally will not last much longer.
This coin has been a bit of a disappointment. It rallied where expected, but the rally has so far been very weak. Support is likely to be found at the 1×1 angle (highlighted).
XMR has rallied back to its high of several weeks ago. If it can close above the arc, the 3rd arc will be the next target at ~$34.
Ripple fell to the top of square, indicated by the arrow, exactly on the end of the square. That was likely a good buying opportunity, as I tweeted at the time.
ZEC is currently trading within a 2nd arc pair. If/when it can close above the arc, a next target will be ~ $115. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Information and mediation to improve labor courts
The Government of Mexico used insights from a randomized evaluation to inform a national labor law.

In Mexico, overburdened labor courts can result in long delays for dismissed workers seeking severance pay. Additionally, workers are often first-time labor court users and they typically have a limited understanding of the legal process. A randomized evaluation by J-PAL affiliates Enrique Seira (Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México) and Christopher Woodruff (University of Oxford), together with Joyce Sadka (Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México), found that providing customized information on predicted case outcomes to workers or asking them to meet with court conciliators (mediators) increased settlement rates of labor court cases and led to higher-valued payouts for workers. After the initial study showed positive results, the government and researchers expanded the approach to five courts across Mexico City. Informed by the results of the research and expansion, government officials passed a broad reform of the Mexican national labor law in May 2019 which requires workers to meet with a conciliator before taking a severance case to trial, among other provisions. The reform also provides useful information about court proceedings and the option to settle to more than 30,000 workers per year in Mexico City and many more throughout the country. As the reform scales nationally from 2019-2023, members of the research team will continue to work closely with the Labor Courts to evaluate the effectiveness of the new policy and feed these insights back to the government to inform implementation.
Labor courts are often overburdened with cases and workers typically lack the necessary information to make informed decisions related to their cases.
Poorly functioning labor courts in many low- and middle-income countries, exacerbated by workers' lack of information and limited understanding of legal processes, raise concerns for justice and efficiency. Parties are often misinformed, outcomes are unpredictable, and inefficient processes can lead to slow decisions and large case backlogs.
More than 95 percent of all labor court filings in Mexico City are severance cases: workers who claim to have been involuntarily separated from their jobs and seek pay that may be due to them according to Mexican labor laws.1 Most of these workers have never previously interacted with the court and lack information about what the court process entails. Though Mexican labor law states that cases should be resolved within three months of being filed, the Labor Court system faces a backlog of about four years.2 This is in part driven by low rates of settlement, which evidence shows can lead to higher-valued payouts for workers. Additionally, workers are often over-optimistic about the probability of winning their cases in court.
Lawyers tend to specialize on labor cases and have extensive knowledge of the courts, but they do not consistently share this information with their clients. Public lawyers are often overburdened and try to close cases quickly, while private lawyers have incentives to bring their clients to court where they can expect higher compensation when cases taken to trial end in a large payment.
Providing customized information to workers and encouraging all parties to meet with a conciliator increased settlement rates, led to higher-valued payouts for workers, and improved measures of wellbeing.
Researchers worked closely with the Mexico City Labor Courts (MCLC) to evaluate the impact of providing conciliation services and information about predicted case outcomes on settlement rates. With funding from J-PAL's Governance Initiative (GI) and J-PAL's Innovation in Government Initiative (IGI; formerly the Government Partnership Initiative), the research team tested two distinct interventions. In the "calculator intervention," all parties present at a hearing—the worker, the defendant, and lawyers representing either side—received a single sheet of paper with customized information about their individual case, including the predicted likelihood that they would be successful in court. Trained enumerators then spent about five minutes explaining the information on the sheet of paper, including the probability of winning their case and the expected award conditional on winning. The information was based on the outcomes of 5,000 historical case filings compiled and analyzed by the research team. In the "conciliator intervention," parties were encouraged to sit with an MCLC employee who would explore the option of settling with the two parties, before the day's hearing. After the initial study in one court showed positive results, the government and researchers expanded the calculator approach to five courts across Mexico City with funding from IGI.
Both interventions nearly doubled the settlement rate for severance cases, but only when the worker was there to personally receive the information. The researchers hypothesize that lawyers likely did not act on the information or share it with their client after the initial hearing when workers were not present.
Higher settlement rates helped the courts deal with their large backlogs, but were workers better off? To understand this, researchers compared the outcomes of historical cases that ended in a trial with cases in the experiment that ended in a settlement. The analysis suggests that on average, workers valued what they received in settlement more than they valued the predicted amount they would have received if they took the case to trial. Additionally, workers who received one of the interventions were happier, less stressed, less likely to miss paying bills, and more likely to be out seeking to find another job.
For more about this research, see the evaluation summary.
From Research to Action
Informed by the research, the Government of Mexico passed a national labor law reform that requires workers to meet with a conciliator before filing a severance case.
The Government of Mexico used insights from the research to inform a national labor law reform passed in May 2019. Drawing on the effectiveness of the "conciliator intervention," the labor law requires a compulsory conciliation stage where workers must be present to talk with a court conciliator prior to filing a case. Furthermore, the 2019 labor reform includes multiple technological advancements that were motivated by the possibilities of administrative data and electronic case management demonstrated by the "calculator intervention." Additionally, the law provides for a Specialized Office in each conciliation center to provide free information and legal advice to workers and firms who need to file conciliation requests.
Researchers made extensive efforts to share research insights with MCLC officials before, during, and after the evaluation. Notably, Joyce Sadka, one of the Principal Investigators of the evaluation, has an office located within the courts which made it easier to maintain a close relationship. As a result, court officials helped determine the research questions and the government invited Joyce to contribute to the drafting of the national labor law reform.
By showing the experts in charge of writing the reform the results of the evaluation, we were able to show them that the labor courts weren't accessible for the majority of workers and that the model had to be changed. The data helped people who were resistant to the changes to understand that, though they were experts in the topic, they were disconnected from the reality of most people who were subject to the labor law. Without the data, it would have been difficult to provide real perspective to the reform.
— Joyce Sadka, Principal investigator and member of the group that contributed to drafting the reform
The continued partnership between the MCLC and the researchers also led to a follow-up evaluation funded by GI of the reforms that began in November 2019. Part of a broader research partnership with Mexico's City Government through its Digital Agency for Public Innovation, the evaluation is testing open questions including how new procedures for notifying parties affect corruption and case delays. The researchers and the government expect that the evaluation will inform implementation across other states nationally as the law is rolled out over the next three years, through 2023.
If we do not have indicators, we cannot make good decisions. Unfortunately, in Mexico, we do not always take this principle into consideration. Long-term partnerships between governments and researchers help improve our decision making.
— Margarita Darlene Rojas Olvera (2019), Former President, Mexico City Labor Court
In the wake of COVID-19, researchers have continued to partner with the court system to identify innovative solutions that streamline access to justice. Read more in this blog post.

How a British bus operator leads the way down the hydrogen highway
Press release of the UK office for low emission vehicles (march 15- 2017) in response to the Hydrogen Week (cfr previous article):
Hydrogen is still discussed in the future tense. It's often referred to as the most realistic long-term replacement for fossil fuels, because tailpipe emissions are nothing but water and you fuel and run the vehicle in the same fashion as a petrol or diesel vehicle. However, there are still some challenges that will need to be overcome – the cost of the infrastructure, price and availability of vehicles and where and how you refuel.
Aberdeen's pioneering electric bus fleet
The city of Aberdeen has proved hydrogen a viable prospect for buses, though. It launched the H2 hydrogen bus project in March 2015, comprising 10 vehicles – the largest hydrogen bus fleet in Europe – and a filling station in Kittybrewster, just north of the city centre.
The project has been championed by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership and involves a number of tie-ups between the city of Aberdeen and companies such as First Bus, Stagecoach and large power firms such as Scottish & Southern Energy and Scotia Gas Network.
"I think one of the striking features of this particular initiative is the involvement of the private sector," says Aberdeen City Councillor and project leader Barney Crockett, "we're probably one of the most private sector-orientated cities anywhere in Europe and we've got very strong links with lots of the wider private sector companies who are involved in developing hydrogen vehicles and other forms of hydrogen.
Aberdeen Councillor Barney Crockett
"[The buses] we have now are operating in the city but they go quite a long distance, beyond urban areas, and one of the things we are looking at is to dedicate complete routes to them, which will happen once we get more vehicles."
A second hydrogen filling station is already under construction in Cove, to the south of Aberdeen. It's due to be up and running in December 2017 and will be the city's first publically available hydrogen filling station, with the ability to top up cars and vans as well as buses.
"One of the attractions of hydrogen is that once you have the infrastructure, it's very similar to using petrol or diesel," adds Crockett. "The range is fairly similar to a diesel bus and it's not limited in quite the same way as a pure battery operation."
The introduction of hydrogen buses necessitated additional training for the drivers, but despite having to get their heads around the new technology, they're still fans, according to Crockett.
"In the initial stages, there were teething problems because, as with every new thing, it asks quite a lot of the drivers. They have to be at the helm of a sophisticated new process, so there are elements of the technology that needed quite a lot of training. For example, there are quite a lot of indicators [relating to the hydrogen system] that drivers have to pay attention to, and some of those require immediate responses.
"However, we've been very fortunate in that we have strong support from the staff and the trade union for it – and the drivers have really taken to them."
The transition has been easier for passengers. According to Crockett, some Aberdeen residents are actually bypassing conventional diesel buses and waiting specifically for the hydrogen ones.
Travellers enjoy the refinement of hydrogen buses
"People are seeing it as more akin to a train journey because you've got total silence; you can work on your computer on the bus, for example.
"Some people will actually wait for the hydrogen buses; they prefer them so much that they let the other buses go by and hang around for a hydrogen one. The companies [behind the project] are noticing that and I think they're taking it on board for the future."
Crockett admits that the perceived expense of hydrogen filling stations and the ability to produce the fuel is a big deterrent, but the hardware and the process have become cheaper over time – and the more vehicles you run, the stronger the commercial case becomes.
"When we first got involved the costs were very, very high, but it's come down exponentially and I think it will be a shock as to how quickly the [cost] changes are going to happen.
Cost of refuelling infrastructure is still a big challenge
"If we get the number of buses that we're targeting then it will be quite feasible to produce hydrogen cost effectively. We're a wee bit away from that yet, but if we get the number of units, the costs will come down – and we're already seeing other cities looking at a much bigger number of hydrogen buses across Europe."
Though it has yet to announce when, Aberdeen is planning to introduce more hydrogen buses, as well as extend the bus routes to other cities.
"We have 10 in operation at the moment and we are aiming to definitely have another 10, possibly another 20," adds Crockett. "We're working to increase the scale of the project and the vehicles may start covering longer distances. We may share some of the buses with other local authorities, maybe Manchester, that's also a possibility."
Buses aren't the only hydrogen powered vehicles in the city, as the council is currently trialling a pair of Hyundai iX35 fuel cell cars, supplied by the CoWheels car club. The vehicles will soon be available for public hire and another two will be added to the fleet and made available for businesses to lease before the end of 2017. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUd6M25V5jEBMNXZNN | U.S.: Bin Laden Named Chief Suspect In Attacks
By Digital Journal Staff Sep 14, 2001 in Technology
WASHINGTON (dpa) 14 September 2001 - The United States has identified Osama bin Laden as a leading suspect in the catastrophic terrorist assaults on New York City and Washington.
President George W. Bush said the United States must lead the world to victory in the battle against terrorism, which he called the first war of the 21st century.
Secretary of State Colin Powell confirmed that bin Laden, the millionaire Saudi believed to be living in Afghanistan, is under suspicion in connection with the terror attacks that are estimated to have left as many as 5,000 people dead.
But Powell said bin Laden was not the only suspect. He said the U.S. is aiming to defeat terrorists and their backers in a global attack against terrorism. Powell said he expected the cooperation of Afghanistan's neighbor Pakistan.
U.S. officials are expected to travel to Moscow next week for talks with Russian officials on Afghanistan in the wake of the U.S. terror attacks.
The security buffer around the White House has been extended, and U.S. officials said Vice President Dick Cheney had moved to the Camp David presidential retreat outside Washington as a precaution.
U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said the U.S. would mount a sustained and broad action, using all available resources, to retaliate against those determined to have helped carry out and support the terror attacks.
Attorney General John Ashcroft said there were at least 18 hijackers on the four planes that were hijacked -- five each on two planes, and four each on the other two aircraft. Ashcroft said it was believed the hijackers had a significant number of supporters inside the U.S. and elsewhere.
German police arrested at least one person in Hamburg as a worldwide manhunt continued to find accomplices in the terror attacks.
U.S. officials say searchers have found one of two black boxes of the hijacked airliner that crashed in Pennsylvania on 11 September. Officials also say they have received an apparent signal from a black box of the commandeered plane that crashed at the Pentagon in Washington. The black box that was recovered in Pennsylvania contains technical flight data information.
However, a second black box that recorded cockpit conversation on the aircraft has not yet been recovered. That box would be crucial in determining what happened in the cockpit just before the plane plunged to the earth.
Officials say search crews will not be able to retrieve the black boxes at the Pentagon until they are able to enter the collapsed area of the building, where the plane's destroyed fuselage rests.
U.S. congressional leaders today agreed to push through the both houses of Congress a $40 billion emergency program to combat terrorism and rebuild. Dennis Hastert, speaker of the House of Representatives, said the House could consider the bill today, with the Senate following soon after. The lawmakers are also considering a measure providing President George W. Bush with "necessary and appropriate force" to deal with people responsible for terrorist attacks against the United States.
With hopes of finding any further survivors dwindling, authorities in the U.S. have released preliminary figures indicating that about 5,000 people are likely to have died in the terror strikes in New York and Washington. New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said 4,763 people are listed as missing from the collapse of the twin World Trade Center towers. Officials said 94 people have been confirmed killed in New York and some 3,800 injured. A total of 266 people were aboard the four hijacked aircraft that crashed in the attacks.
In Washington, U.S. defense officials said 126 people at the Pentagon were believed to have been killed when one of the hijacked aircraft crashed into the large building. Some 70 bodies have been recovered so far.
Foreign governments and aid agencies today are greeting the reopening of U.S. airspace with offers of assistance to the United States in coping with the aftermath of terrorist attacks earlier this week. European Union Environment Commissioner Margot Wallstroem said the EU's network of disaster experts is mobilized and ready to provide help to the United States.
The European Commission has sent a Belgian team, including burn specialists and experts in victim identification, to Iceland to await instructions from the United States.
Teams of experts from France, Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Finland, and the Netherlands were also mobilized and put on standby.
Germany has offered medical evacuation planes. Britain, Norway, and Japan are among other nations that have expressed a desire to help.
And Nasuh Mahruki, the chairman of Turkish search and rescue group AKUT, says he has assembled a 12-man team to help search efforts.

Missouri Tigers (7-0) vs. Wichita State Shockers (4-2)
The Line: Wichita State Shockers +1.5 / Missouri Tigers -1.5; Over/Under: +142
The Missouri Tigers and the Wichita State Shockers meet in college basketball action from the Charles Koch Arena on Tuesday night.
The Missouri Tigers will look to build on their unbeaten mark after a 105-69 win over Houston Christian last time out. D'Moi Hodge leads the Tigers in scoring with 16.6 PPG along with 4 RPG and 2.4 APG while Kobe Brown has 14 PPG with a team-high 5.7 RPG to lead the Tigers on the glass. Noah Carter has 11.5 PPG while Isiaih Mosley has 10.5 PPG with 2.8 APG. Nick Honor has 10.1 PPG with a team-high 3.3 APG to lead the Tigers in assists and to round out the group of double-digit scorers for Missouri so far this season. As a team, Missouri is averaging 93.3 PPG on 52.6% shooting from the field, 36.5% from three and 77.7% from the foul line this season.
The Wichita State Shockers will hope to build on their 83-71 win over Tarleton State last time out. Craig Porter Jr. leads the Shockers in scoring with 13.8 PPG and Jaykwon Walton has 13.2 PPG with 5.5 RPG to make up the pair of double-digit scorers for Wichita State so far this season. Porter Jr. also has team-highs of 7.2 RPG and 3.8 APG to lead the Cardinals across the board. As a team, Wichita State is averaging 65.5 PPG on 41.9% shooting from the field, 26% from three and 72.1% from the foul line this season.
Missouri is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win and 5-11 ATS in their last 16 road games while the over is 8-3 in their last 11 games overall. Wichita State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU win while the under is 17-8 in their last 25 home games.
I get the reasoning for backing either side in this one, but I'm leaning towards Missouri. Sure, the Tigers have had a weaker schedule to this point, but the fact is they continue to execute when called upon offensively and Wichita State, while a tough out for any road team, is still a bit behind what Missouri's bringing to the table here. This will be a good test to see where Missouri is actually at this season. Give me Missouri.
Chris Ruffolo's Free Pick: Missouri -1.5

BkiUgdnxK7IDOE3otgaT | Total amount provided to the property: USD 5.07 million by the Italian Funds in Trust for the "Aksum Archaeological Site Improvement Project: Preparatory studies for the reinstallation of the Obelisk and capacity building for archaeological conservation - Phase 1", "Reinstallation of the Obelisk - Phase 2" and "Consolidation of Stele 3".
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009: missions of the World Heritage Centre and experts for the implementation of the project. 2010: World Heritage Centre/ICOMOS monitoring mission.
On 29 January 2010, a report on the state of conservation of Aksum was submitted by the State Party. The report addressed Decision 32 COM 7B.46 of the World Heritage Committee. A joint World Heritage Centre/ICOMOS reactive monitoring mission visited Aksum on 4-8 February 2010. The main recommendations of the mission relate to the need for the definition of boundaries, for a retrospective Statement of Outstanding Universal Value, for a Memorandum of Understanding on governance arrangements, for qualified staff, for planning controls, for a Management Plan, and to address the structural instability of Stele 3 and related rising water table issues. The mission also commented on the re-installation of Stele 2, and site interpretation and the need to control encroachment and development and in particular the planned construction of a large museum within the property.
The State Party reports that the boundary was discussed and a map drawn at the site management capacity building workshop organised by the World Heritage Centre in May 2008; this map constitutes a first draft of the property's boundaries and buffer zone. The Mission considered there was an urgent need to formalise the boundaries.
The mission reported that as the rise in the water table or water seepage in the Bricks Arch Tomb continues and drainage using an electric pump appears to be only a temporary solution; a study by a civil engineer and a hydrologist must be carried out to identify the reasons and seek ways to divert drainage away from the funerary chambers. The temporary structural supports for Stele 3 must now be seen as permanent until there is a better understanding of the causes and possible remedial action.
The World Heritage Committee, at its 32nd session (Quebec City, 2008) had invited the State Party to address the water table issue through an international assistance request. The mission members reiterated this possibility during their meeting with the Authority for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage Director General. The State Party reports that it proposes to work with the University of Aksum to prepare this request.
The State Party reported that the Management Plan is yet to be done. The Mission considered that although the central, regional and local authorities have consultative and participatory working methods, management decisions are taken ad-hoc and the need for a site management plan is pressing. They noted that UNESCO had undertaken a workshop for the management of Aksum, which had produced a useful starting point for the process. One of the reasons to explain the delay in the preparation of the Management Plan appeared to be the lack of funding and expertise. The Mission suggested that an International Assistance request could be made to support the elaboration of a Management Plan.
The mission noted the State Party's decision to open an adequately staffed office of the Authority for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage (ARCCH) at the property - ARCCH being the statutory body established in terms of the Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage Proclamation No 209/2000 to manage national sites including World Heritage properties. The mission considered that there was an urgent need to fill the staff vacancies in the critical fields of Conservation, Heritage Management, and Archaeology.
The Mission considered that most urgently protective laws and regulations are needed, as currently the only protective framework for the property is the amended Antiquities Law. The mission was told that a Master Plan is currently being prepared. The Mission considered that there was an urgent need for urban planning regulations to protect heritage and to ensure that urban processes are controlled to avoid future planned constructions in the property such as the Church Museum and urban encroachment at the Gudit Stelae Park, as well as to ensure that constructions such as the Site Museum built in the Stelae Park in 2005 will not be repeated. It was suggested that advice might be needed to ensure that such controls might reflect international best practices and experience on heritage management in living cities.
The State Party reported that a draft proclamation for protection of the site has been prepared and presented to Parliament for adoption, but no further details are provided.
The State Party reports that at the capacity building workshop referred to above a draft Statement of Outstanding Universal Value including conditions of integrity and authenticity was developed by the participants but notes that the State Party would need technical assistance to finalize its drafting.
The World Heritage Centre and ICOMOS commend the State Party for the great achievement in reinstating Stele 2 between 2007 and 2009 after its return from Italy.
The World Heritage Centre and ICOMOS consider that the Mission has highlighted a number of issues that have to be addressed with some urgency. These relate to the need for urban planning regulations, more structured management set out based on an agreed Statement of Outstanding Universal Value and adequate professional staff, the need for research on the rising water table and water ingress, as well as for a sustainable consolidation solution for the Stele 3 foundation.
· Improve when possible, the site presentation through minimalist interventions.
There is an urgent need to create a management plan that will link the management of the property to the sustainable development of the wider setting of the property and which could encompass the planning, use and management of structures, archaeological remains and landscape. The mission noted the complexity and importance of dealing with the Aksum Town modern settlement built over the archaeological remains, and reported on relocation of inhabitants intended to allow excavation and opening to visitors of three main palaces that form part of the inscribed property. Such activities need to be considered in an Interpretation and Visitor Management Plan for the property, as part of the overall Management Plan.
Development of the Management Plan needs to continue the commendable participatory and consultative process used at the local level as noted by the 2010 mission, and to foster and strengthen a shared vision amongst the major stakeholders to avoid parallel and conflicting decisions.
The draft Retrospective Statement of Outstanding Universal Value including the conditions of integrity and authenticity needs to be finalised and submitted to the World Heritage Centre. This is a fundamental precursor for the satisfactory development of the Management Plan.
11. Requests furthermore the State Party to submit to the World Heritage Centre by 1 February 2012, an updated report on the state of conservation of the property and the implementation of the above for examination by the World Heritage Committee at its 36th session in 2012. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUas_xK6EuNBRhF68D | Gavin Newsom wins bid for Governor of California
News Top Stories U.S. & World November 6, 2018 Newsroom Staff
For a full list of California election results, visit https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2018-election/midterms/ca
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (NBCNC) – Gavin Newsom breezed to victory in his bid for Governor of California.
The lieutenant governor was promoted by Golden State voters to become chief executive of the nation's most populous state as he easily defeated Republican John Cox on Tuesday.
Newsom earlier on Tuesday said he would not be a candidate for president in 2020.
But California's progressive policies are a favorite punching bag of President Trump and Newsom told supporters in Los Angeles he'll defend the state's values.
Newsom said, "We don't regulate a woman's body more than we regulate assault weapons on our streets. We don't demean. We don't discriminate and we don't demoralize. We don't separate families, and we don't lock kids in cages."
Newsom also thanked Governor Jerry Brown who'll be leaving office after his second stint in the job.

For a while there (for the last 3 weeks) I was hammering the Smallies there. Averaging about 3 lbs a piece. It is tough at times hauling them up the sides near the fishing deck and all as I lost some that would make a grown man cry.
Well long story short.. the last few days the bite has practically gone out of the place. A friend of mine went yesterday (June 18th) and I went Wed (June 17th) and I got one bass on the 18th that was 18 inches and that was it for the smallies. I caught a couple chips that are otherwise known as Rock Bass.. but nothing of size. Wed I caught about a 10-12 pd carp that almost grabbed my pole and took off with it. But man... I am missing those smallies but hoping now that the smallies have stopped the bite that the Eyes will start their bite nicely!!
I did see a nice Channel Cat at 5 lbs taken there, heard about a bunch of Walleyes taken last year and a few last year and I caught one 3 weeks ago measuring 4 lbs.
So I guess that is it for me... wish I could say more about it. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUe6jxK5YsWTJsQbuT | but with limited time in the day he chose three business avenues. Within the process of acclimating himself to his new multi-business path, Sam encountered some challenges. This is the story of how an innovative SaaS help desk software gave Sam the ability to manage multiple businesses, and overcome his customer service and organizational challenges.
Creating the three businesses wasn't difficult, as they naturally were formed even while he was working for the software development group. Yet, now he was intent on solidifying these with website optimization and brand marketing strategies. Basically, he developed websites with an integrated social media marketing campaign.
His first business was a consulting business for startups dealing with finding financing, the second business was freelance writing for tech publications, and the third was an ecommerce store selling skateboards. Sam made the skateboards himself from his work shop in the garage, and this hobby was what led him away from software development.
All three of these businesses were healthy and growing with clients, yet the consulting and freelance writing were the main sources of his income. He wanted to get to the point of solely working his skateboard business, but was content working all three businesses until that could financially happen.
Sam was getting a healthy amount of work from these businesses, but he realized early on there was a big problem emerging. This problem was an organizational problem, which was serious because it was taking away the time he wanted to spend making skateboards. In fact, after about 6 months of working these businesses, Sam was spending at least half his time dealing with customer support issues!
Although Sam was multi-talented, customer service and organizational ability wasn't his strength. He realized this was a problem that required special attention, after a couple high-profile clients stopped working with him when he accidentally ignored some key requests. In fact, the email tickets, phone calls, and social media messages were overwhelming Sam on a daily basis. All three businesses were beginning to suffer.
This problem was very discouraging to Sam, because he knew his work was quality. It was simply that his customer service and organizational ability was severely lacking.
Sam did some researching online trying to find a customer service solution. See, website optimization wasn't his specialty in the software development group he used to work for. He found some promising software solutions, but was unsure which one would work for his multi-business needs. He was still in contact with a friend at the development group and finally gave him a call.
This friend was a managing partner in the group, and was excited to hear the question Sam posed about finding a multi-business customer support solution. He explained the group had started using an innovative software solution called Vision Helpdesk, for many of their clients and for the development group themselves.
Sam was amazed and interested at what he heard from his friend. He then started to investigate this service online. Before lunch the next day he was already signed up for a free 30-day trial offer! He signed up specifically for their Satellite Help Desk SaaS service, which was designed to handle customer service for multi-businesses!
He was amazed at the features and centralized organizational ability he gained so quickly. Each business now had its' own knowledge-base, self-help landing page, and he was able to manage all email, social media, phone, and chat conversations in a central dashboard location. Every ticket was labeled accordingly to its' source and time, while priority tickets were shown with customized automation controls.
After Sam integrated Vision Helpdesk's Satellite Desk service into his three businesses, his customer service and organizational ability went from a liability to a selling point. His customers were able to access self-help landing pages on his websites now, which reduced tickets dramatically. This alone was a major help in streamlining Sam's workflow processes.
The first couple months were exciting, as Sam was able to save time and create better customer satisfaction. The glowing comments and feedback from old and new customers was a confirmation that he'd found his customer service solution at last. The time he was able to save trying to haphazardly manage his customers' needs, he was now able to use doing the things he loved: building awesome skateboards!
One of the most amazing parts was after the free trial, Vision Helpdesk was so affordable he couldn't get over it. To show his gratitude, he began to become one of their biggest advocates in his startup consulting business. In the span of a year, he referred dozens of startups to Vision Helpdesk.
Although Sam was a talented and tech savvy business owner, he had room to grow in customer service and organizational skills. With the help of Vision Helpdesk, he was able to find a solution that saved time, increases customer satisfaction, and brought more profit into his businesses. Working smarter and not harder, was the theme in this situation.
Sam is still working his three businesses, yet the skateboard ecommerce shop is growing in popularity every year. While traveling around the world to skateboarding events, Sam is now able to stay on top of his customer support tickets through the cloud-based Satellite Desk service. Sometimes this means using a mobile device in a country far away, to answer a small question or request from clients.
Maybe Vision Helpdesk can help solve the customer service and organizational issues your business has? You're welcome to give our service a try with a free 30-day trial offer. If interested in learning more, please contact us today. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbiE5ixsDL7k8x83R | Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today explained the government's decision to realign the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), saying this was due to connectivity and environmental reasons.
Under the original alignment, the ECRL would pass through Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang before entering Selangor through Gombak before making its way to Serendah and Port Klang.
However, it will now skip Bentong and Gombak; instead, it turn south from Mentakab to Kuala Klawang in Negeri Sembilan before entering Selangor through Bangi/Kajang and then proceeding to Putrajaya Sentral and finally Port Klang.
"The new alignment will leverage the existing KLIA Express Rail Link (ERL), as well as the future MRT2 Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya line, with an interchange in Putrajaya Sentral.
"This will improve passenger connectivity to other parts of the peninsula's west coast, as well as provide a direct link to Kuala Lumpur International Airport," he said.
The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed rail, which construction has been postponed until 2020, is also expected to pass the Putrajaya/Bangi area.
Mahathir said this was a significant improvement on the ECRL going to Gombak, where it will only have one interchange with an LRT line.
The prime minister added that by having the Bangi/Kajang station, passengers of KTM Komuter and ETS can also interchange there to the ECRL.
"Therefore, it will now pass through five states and the federal territories of Putrajaya from the previous 4 states, allowing more States to partake in the economic benefits of the improved deal," he said.
Furthermore, Mahathir said considerations for the environment was also made.
"Importantly, the new alignment also prioritises cultural, heritage and environmental factors by avoiding the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge in Gombak, Selangor - the longest pure quartz dyke in the world," he said.
Under the original plan, an 18km tunnel had to be drilled in order for the ECRL to travel from Bentong to Gombak.
Mahathir said the ECRL is expected to be completed by Dec 31, 2026, from its original completion date of June 30, 2024.
ECRL salient points: RM1b refund, more locals and CCCC to share risk
Let local companies also participate in ECRL project

BkiUcWjxK1ThhBMLfevF | So it was natural for Kerr to be asked how difficult it has to be for Walton to deal with the challenges of coaching a team with all the injuries and the talk about his job security.
The Lakers had ascended to fourth in the Western Conference, showing signs of a developing team.
But LeBron James went down that Christmas night in Oakland with a groin injury, forcing the All-Star forward to miss 17 games. Lonzo Ball (ankle injury) and Brandon Ingram (right arm surgery) are out for the season.
"When injuries hit and circumstances being the way they've been, tough job," Kerr said. "But always impressed by the way Luke handles himself and the way he handles his players and handles the pressure of the job. He's just cut out for this, because he's unbothered by pressure, by criticism, by anything. He just is who he is. He 100 percent authentic, genuine, great human being and great basketball coach.
The Sixers (49-30) saw their magic number to clinch the Eastern Conference's No. 3 seed stay at two. Any combination of two Sixers wins in their final three games or Celtics losses will earn the spot. The Bucks clinched the top seed. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUc2g25V5imcQUxCbw | Tag: very large telescope interferometer
Astronomers Get as Close as They Can to Seeing the Black Hole at the Heart of the Milky Way
Since the 1970s, astronomers have theorized that at the center of our galaxy, about 26,000 light-years from Earth, there exists a supermassive black hole (SMBH) known as Sagittarius A*. Measuring an estimated 44 million km (27.3 million mi) in diameter and weighing in at roughly 4 million Solar masses, this black hole is believed to have had a profound influence on the formation and evolution of our galaxy.
And yet, scientists have never been able to see it directly and its existence has only been inferred from the effect it has on the stars and material surrounding it. However, new observations conducted by the GRAVITY collaboration** has managed to yield the most detailed observations to date of the matter surrounding Sagittarius A*, which is the strongest evidence yet that a black hole exists at the center of the Milky Way.

Celestial Laser Show? Nope, These Are Trails Showing Off Star Colors
There are so many colorful streaks in that image above that you'd be forgiven for thinking somebody is shooting lasers around the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile. Actually, though, this demonstrates a common technique for astronomy photo-taking where you do a time lapse to watch the stars moving as the Earth makes its daily rotation.
The image of auxiliary telescopes of Very Large Telescope Interferometer is not only pretty, but does have some scientific interest as well, ESO said.
"This technique … enhances the natural colours of the stars, which gives an indication of their temperature, ranging from about 1000 degrees Celsius [1,832 Fahrenheit] for the reddest stars to a few tens of thousands of degrees Celsius [or Fahrenheit] for the hottest, which appear blue. The sky in this remote and high location in Chile is extremely clear and there is no light pollution, offering us this amazing light show," stated the European Southern Observatory.
According to ESO, these supplementary telescopes working together allow astronomers to "see details up to 25 times finer than with the individual telescopes." You can read more about the VLTI at this ESO link, which includes some interesting facts — such as why the interferometers are named Antu, Kueyen, Melipal and Yepun.

Nonagenarian Woman Crafts Artistic Blooms From Beads
By Zac Schultz | December 22, 2017
If it's Monday, Velma Cox and her friends must be playing Rummikub. At 96 years old, Velma has a busier social calendar than most people half her age. "I played dominoes this morning and usually this time of the afternoon we play Skip-bo and Rummikub."
On another day, she might fit in some Wii bowling, after all, she does hold the high score for her senior living community. "I play games, at least three times a week and we just play half a day so the other half a day I have to find something else to do."
In her remaining spare time, Velma makes art with beads so small, she can fit dozens into a single flower petal. Velma can make one blossom a day.
Over time she has made 30 bouquets, and given them all away. "I make little animals and I make flowers and it was just fun and I'd give it to my friends so I could make some more 'cause it piled up a little bit. If I make some I couldn't make any more unless I got rid of them. So I had to start giving them away."
Her friends all sport brooches and hair clips with Velma's bead flowers. "I enjoy making them. And it spends my time. I have a lot of extra time."
That extra time is how Velma came here and started making bead flowers in the first place. In 2006, her husband Robert became so ill from diabetes Velma could no longer take care of him. Their daughter Arlene moved them to the Felician Village in Manitowoc.
Velma was in her apartment and Robert was in the nursing home wing. "I went to see him when he was in (the nursing home) every day. It got so bad, I had to feed him his meals."
Robert passed away three years later. "Oh, after my husband died, I had to find something to pass the time because time was heavy on my hands. Because before I always went to be with him in the day time."
Velma's children tried to help her find a hobby to fill the empty hours. "My daughter-in-law bought me a bead book. I kept at it until I just enjoyed it so much."
It gave her something to focus on during the long afternoons. "I'm only thinking of my beads. I'm not thinking about nothing else."
Robert never lived in this apartment, but his memory is all over, from photos on the wall to a candle holder on the counter. "I met him on a roller skating rink. That's a long time ago."
They were married in 1941. "We farmed 30 years." They raised three children, and Velma uses email and Skype to keep in touch. "I send a message to my daughter every morning; tell her I'm up out of bed so she knows that I'm still alive."
Even with all the games and talking with family, there are still a lot of hours left in the day, and Velma says working with beads and making art can be therapeutic. It's even better when she can share the results with her friends. "What good would it do me to just let them pile up. So that's why I give them away."

BkiUfCXxK7Ehm79fdyzm | Rick Scott to Vote Against Trump-Pelosi Budget Deal
U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said on Sunday that he plans to vote against the budget deal crafted by the Trump administration and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Last week, the U.S. House voted to suspend the debt limit for two years and passed a $1.37 trillion budget with $738 billion going to defense. The budget proposal passed on a 284-189 vote. Most of the Democratic majority–219 members–voted to back it while 16 opposed it. Most of the Republican caucus–132 members–voted against it while 65 supported it. Party lines mostly held in the Florida delegation. U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., was the sole Democrat from the Sunshine State to vote against the proposal. Florida Republican U.S. Reps. Gus Bilirakis, Mario Diaz-Balart, Neal Dunn and John Rutherford voted for the proposal.
Scott said he could not support the deal that the White House, the GOP leadership in the Senate and Pelosi and her team reached.
"I appreciate the work done by President Trump, Secretary Mnuchin, Leader McConnell and Senator Shelby," Scott said. "These are complicated deals to negotiate in divided government and I want to thank them for their hard work. This bill allows for significant investment in our military and doesn't include the liberal poison bills that House Democrats usually try to insert into important legislation. That's the good.
"Unfortunately, this bill allows for trillions of dollars to be added to our national debt, includes huge increases in nondefense discretionary spending, and doesn't even try to pay for it by cutting wasteful spending. I'm worried about the staggering debt we're leaving for our children and grandchildren. Too often in Washington, compromise means both sides get everything they want so that no one has to make a tough choice. I can't support that," Scott added.
Scott looked to Tallahassee, where he served eight years as governor, for a better way of governing.
"As governor of Florida, I turned a $4 billion deficit into $3 billion annual surpluses and was the first governor in 20 years to pay down state debt," Scott said. "We paid down $10 billion in state debt – almost one-third of total debt. It can be done, but you have to be willing to make tough choices.
"I will vote 'no' on this budget deal. As long as I am a member of the United States Senate, I will fight to rein in the out of control spending that is putting our economy at risk," Scott added.
While he has not come out definitively on how he will vote on the budget, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has expressed reservations about the spending included in the deal.

BkiUdTk4uBhi9r4Z-K_Q | Icon Labs: Building the Internet of Secure Things
Fast-grow-IOT-Companies-magz-mar-17-list
The IoT has grown tremendously as an industry in a very short span of time. But still, it faces many complications with its security. In this regard, presently the biggest challenges are scalability on two different levels. First, the capability of Identity & Access Management solutions and Security Management solutions, to support the billions of devices that will be deployed as part of the IoT. Second, the design of endpoint security solutions to scale down into the smallest IoT endpoint devices. To deal with these and other similar complications, security providers like Icon Labs have emerged.
Icon Labs provides endpoint security and identity management solutions to enable OEMs to add security quickly and easily to their IoT connected devices and machines. These solutions include IoT Identity and Access Management, data protection for IoT devices, and intrusion detection and protection for IoT devices.
Icon Labs has been renowned as a promising alliance because they believe that, "For the IoT to successfully move from proof-of-concept projects to commercial deployments, security must be addressed throughout the system."
A Company providing Security Building Blocks
Icon Labs is a privately held corporation headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa. They have been providing solutions for embedded OEMs since 1992 with more than 100 customers worldwide.
Icon Labs is focused on creating the Internet of Secure Things. They provide software toolkits and security solutions to enable embedded OEMs and IoT device manufacturers to build security into their device. The team at Icon Labs is uniquely focused on resource-limited IoT devices – devices that cannot run large, sophisticated security solutions requiring operating systems like Windows, Linux, IoS, etc.
Their solutions support all major embedded OSes and RTOSes with security modules designed specifically for use in limited resource environments characteristic of the embedded marketspace. These solutions provide security building blocks for protecting the device itself rather than just relying on security at the perimeter.
Pioneer of Icon Labs
Alan Grau is the President and Co-founder of Icon Labs and the architect of Icon Labs' award-winning Floodgate firewall. Alan has an MS in computer science from Northwestern University. With his 25 years of embedded software experience, Alan has been leading Icon Labs to the pinnacle since its inception. Prior to founding Icon Labs, he worked for AT&T Bell Labs and Motorola.
Fulfilling Unique Requirements of the IoT
Icon Labs is focused on building security solutions specifically for the IoT. Rather than customizing enterprise and desktop security solutions according to new needs, Icon Labs builds solutions specifically to meet the unique requirements of the IoT.
Icon Labs builds embedded products to solve unique problems, and as such, often require custom solutions. Even though their products provide the foundational security capabilities, many OEMs need more – they need to integrate with custom security management systems, detect and block unique threats, or make other extensions to the base products to meet the unique security requirements of their products.
In these situations, Icon Labs' engineering team implements the product extensions and integrates with the embedded applications, shaving months off their schedule and significantly reducing development cost. Furthermore, these service groups enable their customers to leverage the experience and knowledge of their engineering team.
Recent Innovations
Icon Labs is rolling out its IoT Identity and Access Management solutions that adds to their industry leading security solutions. These new capabilities include the Floodgate Certificate Authority and Floodgate PKI Client. The CA provides complete certificate management for companies choosing to implement their own certificate-based authentication using public key infrastructure. It provides industrial OEMs the ability to securely inject keys into their manufactured devices before they leave the factory and to operate as a private certificate authority, enabling secure certificate distribution and management for the millions of industrial and IoT devices currently being developed.
The Floodgate PKI Client enables IoT devices to generate keys, create certificate signing requests, and retrieve signed certificates from the CA. The client supports SCEP, EST, and OCSP and supports all RTOSes, embedded Linux, and Windows platforms.
Icon Labs as a Promising Alliance
As projects move from proof-of-concept to deployments at scale, companies are beginning to address security requirements, particularly device identity and authentication. Icon Labs has extended their end-point security solution by adding Identity and Access Management capability for IoT devices.
Furthermore, the team at Icon Labs consists of security experts who help assess the security posture of the current devices or the design for the next generation system. This team can review the customer's existing product implementation or design against industry standard security practices and help develop a plan to ensure the security of the device.
Taking pride in their work and the success they have achieved through providing world class services, Alan asserts, "We have been building intelligent, secure, networked devices for industry leaders in the Industrial Control, Critical Infrastructure, Military/Aerospace, Telecommunications, Networking and Medical Equipment industries for over 20 years. Our solutions are at work every day, from the factory floor to broadband Internet access devices, from core network routers to smart modems, and from optical cross-connects to the operating room."

BkiUbdTxK4tBVhvvqkba | How will Blue Origin work?
Jeff Bezos made his fortune by starting Amazon.com. Not content with merely sending packages to your door, now he's hoping to send you to space.
Rex Rystedt//Time Life Pictures/Getty Images
Frequently named in Forbes Magazine lists of richest people, Jeff Bezos is one of the most successful visionaries of Internet business. He founded Amazon.com, an online marketplace for books, in 1994, when the Internet was still young. The Web site exploded in popularity, and later Bezos incorporated movies, music, electronics, apparel and food into Amazon's inventory. Amazon has made Bezos a certified billionaire.
So what's he doing with all that wealth? He's entered the commercial space race.
Unlike many of the other space race contenders, Bezos has kept his space project quiet. In 2000, Bezos started a Seattle-based company called Blue Origin to build and test rockets. But for several years, he virtually kept the company a secret, releasing only a few details about its purpose and plans. In 2003, the media researched state documents to confirm Blue Origin was involved in spacecraft research [source: Newsweek]. Then, Bezos piqued people's curiosity when he bought 165,000 acres in West Texas. He even secured secrecy by having locals sign confidentiality agreements [source: Mangalindan].
In 2005, he finally divulged to a local paper that he would be using the land to launch Blue Origin's rockets. Since then, he's opened up a bit, revealing more details, largely because he's looking to recruit talented engineers for his team. One notable figure, science fiction author Neal Stephenson, has already spent some time working for Bezos' team. Though he only minored in physics in college, Stephenson tinkers with electronics and has always immersed himself in scientific subjects. In an interview, Stephenson described himself as Blue Origin's "Spock," the "Star Trek" character who offers his thoughts whenever he gets the chance [source: Slashdot].
Something else separates Bezos from his fellow commercial space racers -- he doesn't seem to be racing at all. He's taking his sweet time, and he's proud of it, evidenced by Blue Origin's motto, "gradatim ferociter," which translates loosely to "step by step, ferociously."
Slow and steady seems to be working for Blue Origin. It tested a vehicle named Goddard and released a video showing that it was a success. Ultimately, Bezos hopes to send tourists on suborbital space trips on a weekly basis by 2010. Can he do it?

BkiUdhnxaKgQNLA_d6_S | This article first appeared in the SimpliFaster blog.
Achieving success in sport, particularly at the elite level, is a complex process. The days of natural talent representing the most important factor in being successful are long gone. In a modern world where sport is a billion-dollar business, there are many elements required to ensure an athlete achieves their dream.
Because these factors influence athletic training and performance, it is essential for the coaches and athletes to be aware of the extent of their impact. This desire has led to a huge focus on the area of athlete monitoring. In this article, we'll look at this concept of monitoring and its impact on modern sport. We'll look at why monitoring is necessary and the benefits it can bring as well as its potential challenges. We will also outline how the Metrifit system addresses these challenges and provides a platform that is straightforward, effective, and informative. Metrifit will help improve performance, for both teams and individuals, and hopefully prove to be the difference when it comes to achieving success.
The benefits of monitoring are so plentiful, it's hard to understand a time when it was not a significant portion of an athlete's training program. Quite simply, monitoring improves an athlete's performance through a combination of several factors. Monitoring an athlete's training program helps ensure they are in the best possible condition to train. This, in turn, leads to a competitive edge. Monitoring gives coaches the opportunity to construct individualized training programs and optimize the prescription of training load and recovery. Aside from ensuring an athlete is following a suitable training program, monitoring assists in identifying such potential problems as injury, illness, and burnout. Each of these factors can hamper an athlete's ability to train consistently. If they can avoid missing training sessions, they will be better prepared to achieve success. Monitoring also develops an athlete's self-awareness and accountability, giving them a greater sense of responsibility for their well-being. With access to relevant data, the athlete has a greater understanding of how their own body functions. Consequently, they have increased focus to follow the correct program and a greater sense of motivation and confidence.
What Should an Athlete Monitor?
Metrifit's approach not only covers the physical requirements of a particular sport but also helps the coach derive the benefits of other factors that have a significant influence on an athlete's well-being: training, body, nutrition, mind, and sleep.
Injuries are more likely to result from inappropriate training, Gabbett explains, and non-contact injuries are more likely caused by excessive and rapid increases in training. He argues that the way to deal with these problems is to monitor the athlete's training program.
As a result, monitoring diet is essential to achieve the right balance of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, and water to ensure athletes get the most from their training, can recover and, most important, produce their best when it comes to competition.
These threats to validity have been attributed to cognitive and situational factors. Cognitive factors include miscomprehension and recall error, which may be addressed with clear instruction and minimizing the period of recall. Ensuring understanding of the overall task may also improve motivation to respond accurately, thus reducing conscious bias. Conscious bias is often the result of an individual responding in a socially desirable manner, generally over-reporting favorable responses and under-reporting unfavorable responses. In the sports setting, this may mean athletes 'faking good' to appear to be coping or to gain selection, or 'faking bad' to have their training reduced. Therefore it is important to not only consider the design of a self-report measure, but also the individual and situational factors which may influence the ability to obtain meaningful, accurate and consistent data from athletes.
Ensuring that athletes enter genuinely accurate information is one of the main challenges to a monitoring program. It is a question that initially concerns some of our clients. In reality, it is not an issue. In fact, not only do athletes buy-in to the system, they take on greater responsibility and ownership. A monitoring system also creates a strong relationship between athlete and coach. There may be concern that an athlete will log inaccurate information, particularly student athletes. A coach who is on top of his game and familiar with his athlete, however, can quickly identify this by comparing scores to performance. By encouraging ownership, students and coaches equally share in the athlete/team development process. This leads to a strengthening of the relationship between coach and athlete which also contributes to improving performance.
Some coaches fear that the process is too complicated and time consuming and, as a result, will prove counterproductive and interfere with training time.
The final major challenge with implementing a monitoring system is making sure that we not only gather specific information that is useful but also that we use the information effectively in a training program to improve results.
As we can see, the value of monitoring all aspects of an athlete's circumstances is essential if they are to realize their potential and perform at peak level on the occasion when it matters most. Monitoring athletes helps us learn their patterns of behavior and habits. Capturing that data allows coaches to evaluate the information and analyze it, which in turn helps them guide athletes to their best performance.
Once a monitoring platform is successfully implemented, the next challenge is to get meaningful data into the hands and minds of the people who can make effective use of it. A central hub of data should become a funnel or platform to collate relevant key performance indicators. Insights from this data need to be visualized in such a way that they promote actionable intelligence. All the data in the world is useless if it's not used to promote change and improvement.
Effective monitoring has many benefits for the athlete as the information gathered can be vital in preparing for the next step of the training program. Monitoring is only useful if it provides information or leads to practices that ultimately improve performance. Of course, there are challenges to ensuring the best possible outcome for athletes, and we have established how these obstacles are relatively easy to overcome. When that is achieved, the benefits for both coach and athlete are clear.
Our latest product, Metrifit Ready to Perform (RTP), takes all this into consideration and, by providing feedback and analytics, aims to promote self-awareness and accountability on behalf of the athlete.
Metrifit RTP makes the monitoring technology of a professional team available on a new platform and at an affordable price. This is backed up by sophisticated descriptive analytics and intelligent feedback alerting coaches and athletes to any changes in behavior that may otherwise go unnoticed. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

ST. BONAVENTURE — The Jandoli Institute began its third PolitiFact workshop for St. Bonaventure University students Jan. 31.
The workshop, conducted by PolitiFact Senior Correspondent Louis Jacobson and Jandoli Institute Executive Director Richard Lee, will provide students with the opportunity to check facts and produce articles that will appear on PolitiFact and PolitiFact New York, the organization's New York edition, which is a partnership with The Buffalo News.
"Fact-checking is an essential part of journalism's vital role in our democracy," said Aaron Chimbel, dean of St. Bonaventure's Jandoli School of Communication. "As the public navigates the flood of information in our digital and splintered media worlds, thoroughly vetted information is crucial for them to be informed. This collaboration with PolitiFact does just that and provides a great learning opportunity for our students."
A team of 10 students will begin training on Monday and then work on stories throughout the spring semester. Since the program began in 2020, St. Bonaventure students have written 26 articles for PolitiFact, one of the nation's leading fact-checking sites.
Founded in 2007, PolitiFact uses traditional journalism techniques to investigate the accuracy of claims in politics, then provides an overall "Truth-O-Meter" rating ranging from True to Pants on Fire. Articles appear on its PolitiFact.com website and are reprinted by its media partners across the country. PolitiFact is owned by the nonprofit Poynter Institute for Media Studies and employs reporters and editors in St. Petersburg, Florida, Washington, D.C., and half a dozen other cities.
The Jandoli Institute, a part of the Jandoli School of Communication, serves as a forum for academic research, creative ideas, and discussion on the intersection between media and democracy.
