Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
When Luke was unable to defeat Darth Vader, he was told by Darth Vader..
Darth Vader : There is no escape. Don’t make me destroy you.
Darth Vader : Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.
Luke : I’ll never join you!
Darth Vader : If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke : He told me enough! He told me *you* killed him!
Darth Vader : No. *I* am your father.
Luke : No. No. That’s not true. That’s impossible!
Darth Vader : Search your feelings, you *know* it to be true!
Luke : [anguished] No! No!

The next in my series of short and snappy SEO question and answer blogs: this one from Lisa, a photographer who is building her site in Wix.
Should I complete the meta keywords tag?
The meta keywords tag is part of the meta information that sits at the top of every web page and describes the page content.
If you’re using Wordpress and a plugin like ‘All in one SEO’, or ‘SEO by Yoast’ you’ll see there are areas for you to complete the page title, meta description and the meta keywords. But should you?
Back in 2009, Matt Cutts posted this video on YouTube, explaining that Google doesn’t use the keywords tag in web ranking.
The other engines may look at keywords, but they only have a tiny market share in Australia.
If you do want to include keywords in the meta keywords tag, then limit them to ten per page, and only use words that actually appear at least once on the page, for example, don’t use the keyword ‘purple piglet’ unless it’s written on the page somewhere.
In summary, my advice is, complete the meta keywords tag if you want, but don’t fret about it.
But no, personally I don’t believe they are necessary. My site has no meta keywords on any pages and hasn’t for years.
I made it to number one on Google for the single term ‘copywriter’ without them. Nuff said?

Farewell my (Dark) Knight
Kevin Conroy has died (11/30/1955 - 11/10/2022)
So anyone who knows me personally knows that Batman is my favorite comic book hero. That’s been true my entire life, I actually don’t remember a time when I even once considered Superman, Spiderman, Hulk, or any of the other heroes my friends were obsessed with even close to Batman.
Often I would be asked who my favorite Batman was, and without fail every time my answer would be Kevin Conroy. Batman the animated series & Batman Mask of the Phantasm are possibly some of the greatest works in the entire catalogue of Batman related media.
When he appeared on the Arrowverse event as the Batman from Earth-99 I was so happy for him. Kevin has played Batman more times than any other actor and for my money has set the bar incredibly high for all that follow him. Mark Hamill, who often played the Joker opposite of Kevin, once said that when it came to doing any voice acting for Batman properties the first thing he’d ask is “Is Kevin doing it?” and if the answer was yes Mark wouldn’t even bother reading the script saying, “If Kevin’s doing it, I’ll do it”.
Kevin Conroy had other roles than Batman of course. He appeared on many popular shows in small parts and extended stays on some of the big soap operas of the time as well. Yesterday on November 10th, 2022 Kevin’s battle with intestinal cancer ended. Kevin is survived by his husband Vaughn Williams, and millions of fans around the world who loved his work.
I sadly never got to meet him although a friend of mine did at a UK comic event and got a “POP” figure signed for me - the gag however is that the figure he signed was a figure of the Flash (yeah I have friends that are both amazing and jerks at the same time).
I’ll end this by saying:

A 36-year-old St. Clair Township man faces impaired and dangerous driving charges after police spotted an erratic driver in Mooretown, Saturday, and discovered a ‘distraught’ child in the vehicle.
Lambton OPP say the incident occurred around 11 a.m., when officers observed the vehicle driving erratically on Emily Street, near the Moore Sports Complex.
“Upon commencing a traffic stop, officers observed a young occupant within the vehicle who was also distraught with the driver’s actions,” a news release stated. “Upon speaking with the driver, it became apparent the driver had consumed an alcoholic beverage and was displaying signs of impairment.
“The driver was arrested and transported to the Lambton OPP detachment where they provided two samples of breath above the legal limit,” police added.
The driver faces charges of impaired driving and dangerous driving, and has been released. He is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice at a later date.
OPP are reminding residents that if you see a driver who you suspect may be impaired by alcohol or drugs, contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or *OPP (677) on your mobile phone.

Maradona. The 1986 World Cup. We all know the story; how the Argentine broke English hearts by handling the ball into the net, and then, in cruel juxtaposition, scoring one of the greatest goals of all time to win the game, sending England home and Argentina through to the semi-final.
It would be easy for the England players to be defined by that game, their legacy cemented within 90 devastating minutes. Yet for defender Terry Fenwick, that sunny afternoon in Mexico City has become a footnote in a personal journey that has taken him to the top of Caribbean football.
In historic footage of the Argentina match, Fenwick can be seen chasing referee Ali Bin Nasser all the way back to the halfway line, desperately appealing against Maradona’s controversial handball that opened the scoring. Moments later he was one of the players valiantly trying to stop Argentina’s No.10 as he glided across the pitch for his memorable second goal.
A no-nonsense central defender – he holds the record for most yellow cards in a single World Cup – Fenwick enjoyed a lengthy playing career with Crystal Palace, QPR, Tottenham Hotspur and Swindon Town before retiring in 1995, immediately becoming manager of Portsmouth.
After three seasons at Fratton Park, and a subsequent stint as director of football at non-league Southall United, Fenwick was presented with an unusual opportunity across the globe.
‘’Sir Bobby Robson brought Newcastle United over to Trinidad and Tobago in the summer of 2000 for pre-season [and] several local club owners there approached him asking who he’d recommend as a manager. He threw my name in the hat,” Fenwick recalls.
What initially began as a short visit for Fenwick, made out of respect for Sir Bobby, eventually saw him settle in Trinidad for the next decade.
‘’I visited T&T for one week and recognized it was essentially a developmental job, lots of potential but several inherent issues like politics hampering sport in general. However, the climate and lifestyle made it worth it,’’ Fenwick tells The Set Pieces.
Trinidad and Tobago is one of only two nations in the Caribbean that has a professional domestic league, Jamaica being the other. The aptly named TT Pro League includes ten clubs and is funded by government investment, as the league strives to become self-sufficient.
Crowds are frequently low and young players often have other distractions away from the football pitch. It is a demanding job for local managers, let alone a coach coming from England with little prior knowledge of the country or culture.
But Fenwick settled quicker than most would have predicted, leading community-focused club San Juan Jabloteh to the TT Pro League title in only his second season in charge in 2002.
‘’My success has been due to the tremendous role models I have been fortunate to learn from,” he says.
“Terry Venables (who Fenwick played under at Palace, QPR and Spurs in the 1980s) in particular has provided me with a whole lot of skill sets necessary to ensure sustained success in a very small but competitive environment.
“Self-belief and the ability to diversify, think over and address matters in another fashion have kept things interesting.”

— Rate itt (@RateItt) January 13, 2017
During his time at San Juan Jabloteh, Fenwick was known for promoting youth prospects to the first team as well as getting the best out of the more established players.
Reflecting on the most talented player he has worked with in the region, Fenwick says: “Aurtis Whitley was an unbelievable talent. This kid had everything, I nurtured his career and sent him off to the World Cup in 2006. What a diamond.’’
As he reminisces about a player he coached over 10 years ago, it’s clear to see Fenwick has a genuine passion for developing T&T football. He has even set up a coaching school in the country with a focus on nurturing young talent.
There have been numerous exports from the TT Pro League that have enjoyed success in stronger competitions, such as former Southampton, Stoke and Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones. It was Fenwick who first took Jones to England, landing him a 10-day trial at Manchester United in 2002.
Other players who started out in T&T domestic football, such as Jason Scotland and Carlos Edwards, have also forged successful careers in England. Indeed, the Pro League played a vital role in Trinidad and Tobago defying the odds to qualify for the 2006 World Cup.
Fenwick is the second most successful coach in the league’s history, having won the title three times with San Juan Jabloteh and guiding fellow club Central FC to the CONCACAF Champions League in 2015.
Yet there have also been off-field incidents which have marked the 57-year-old’s time in T&T, notably in 2005 when he was banned for ten games for elbowing an opposition player during a match.
When asked about the obstacles facing Trinidadian players, Fenwick says: “T&T have produced excellent footballers, although there is a drawback in the cultural aspect of Caribbean life. [There are] no role models or administrators to guide the youths, with politics and self-interest taking preference.’’
It is this frustration with the system in Trinidad and Tobago that has seen Fenwick seek pastures new at times in his career. In 2003, after winning the league, he returned to England to take the helm at Northampton Town, but lasted only seven matches on route to the Cobblers’ relegation at the end of the season.
In 2014, Fenwick took charge of Belgian third division club C.S Vise. “I really enjoyed Belgium although my club was financially strapped,” he says. “The facilities and first world lifestyle were a welcome change after so many years in Trinidad. Unfortunately Belgium are themselves restructuring and streamlining their leagues, so the timing was not the best.”
Fenwick made another quick departure following financial difficulties at C.S Vise, returning to his adopted home T&T in 2015 to begin coaching again.
His extended stay in the region has earned him the praise of local football enthusiasts, with journalist Lasana Liburd, who covers the Pro League, describing Fenwick as “a very astute man-manager and also a quite versatile coach in tactical terms”.
“His teams play at a high tempo and are always aggressive – not necessarily in terms of flying studs but their eagerness to get results,” Liburd added. “At least one former Caribbean coach I spoke to credited Fenwick for lifting the standard of the local game because other teams had to prepare better in terms of fitness and their ability to play at tempo to compete. If you couldn’t, his teams would maul yours.”
Despite his domestic success, Fenwick has never been given a shot at the top job – managing Trinidad and Tobago’s national team. Many feel his outspoken nature, which falls in line with his no-nonsense style as a player, has hindered his prospects, with the country’s football association reluctant to hire somebody who may disagree with some of their policies.
However, in an honest observation, Fenwick remains optimistic that the role will one day come his way: “I do hope I’ll eventually get a crack at the top job.’’

WHO ARE YOU, REALLY? When your mind becomes still, when your heart opens in love—who are you? Are you the beautifully unique combination of identities, characteristics, and experiences you were born with and shaped by in this lifetime? Are you something beyond, or in between, the seemingly separate conditions of the material world—an expression of primordial oneness, emptiness, and luminosity? According to the Buddha, you are both. And you are so much more. But don’t take his word for it.
Join Buddhist meditation teacher Kate Johnson for an experiential journey into the teachings of the Buddhadharma, and contemporary theories on identity and intersectionality, and walk away with your own understanding of who you really are, how we are all connected, and how Buddhist meditation can help us really know these things for ourselves. Each session will include dharma talks, meditation, partner work, journaling and quiet reflection, and restorative movement practices.

Arsene Wenger’s last game at Old Trafford did not go the way he wanted it to. That may have been expected though, based on the XI he put out for the game. The Frenchman was honored before the game by old foe and new friend, Sir Alex Ferguson. There was hugging from Alexis Sanchez, and even the Old Trafford faithful gave Wenger a round of applause before the game. Not your average rivalry game, to say the least.
But specifically, the XI Wenger put out today was a clear message that the focus is on the Europa League on Thursday. Mavropanos became the 200th career debut under Wenger’s reign, getting the nod at center back. Nelson and Maitland-Niles also got the nod in the match today, underscoring the need for our first team players to get rest this weekend. In other news, Mkhitaryan is back from injury and teamed up with Aubameyang at the top, with Xhaka holding together the midfield. Full team sheet:
Despite having a second team out in the field today, Arsenal did go out there with some drive and purpose. The team played forward, attacking-minded football in the first half, despite not retaining much of the possession.
However, Man United were the first to strike on the 17th minute. The ball went to Lukaku on the side who crossed it across the box to Sanchez. Alexis headed it at the goal, but the attempt was stopped by Bellerin, who did an amazing job to get over to the ball and stop it mid-shot. The ball deflected off Bellerin, then off the post, and back to Pogba, who probably won’t be scoring many more goals easier than a tap-in.
The only real highlight Arsenal had in the first half was a shot from Mkhitaryan that just missed the outside of the post. There were multiple shouts for a penalty on two separate occasions to no luck for Arsenal. It went into the half at 1-0 United, who looked like they were going to cruise vs. this Arsenal side.
But Arsenal had other ideas to make the game a bit more competitive. Lukaku came off for injury 4 minutes into the 2nd half, which saw Rashford come on for the Belgian. Almost immediately following the substitution, Mkhitaryan saw a simple pass from Xhaka, took a touch, and slotted it home to the bottom left corner on the 51st minute. Truly making something out of nothing with the goal. The Armenian also showed his appreciation for his time at United by refusing to celebrate.
The game was 1-1 and looked certain for a deadlock. Arsenal’s youngsters worked hard to try and earn a point, but sadly this was never meant to be. An offside call in the 88th minute saved Arsenal after a shot off the post hit an offside Rashford and bounced in. It was the lifeline that could’ve seen Arsenal walk away with a point in Wenger’s final game at Old Trafford... Then Fellaini happened. A header from the physical midfielder was simple but effective. Questions have to be asked about Ospina being able to get to the ball on this one.
If there are some good takeaways from today: Mavropanos looked excellent, and the young Greek international showed a lot of promise. A tackle and 92% passing doesn’t do him justice, as he looked comfortable in his first appearance for the Gunners in the PL. Nelson began looking good as well in the minutes before his 60th minute substitution. Reiss finished the game 20/21 passing and had a key pass to add to the mix. Both youth players will look to break into the first team more come August.
The 2-1 result means that Arsenal have been mathematically eliminated from top 4 contention and will finish behind Spurs for a second straight year. The only hope for the Champions League now rests on Thursday, where Arsenal will face Atletico down 1-1 on away goals.
All eyes on Thursday.

I’d been depressed before. My mom had died the previous year and I remember sitting in my room while she lay down the hall suffering from the second bout of cancer, which would eventually kill her, thinking to myself, “I’m glad I know there’s a God, and that he actually cares about me, because if I didn’t, I might as well shoot myself in the head right here and now.”
This time, I didn’t have that luxury. From April to July of 2004 were the darkest days of my life. I no longer knew who I was, or who I wanted to be. I no longer knew what I believed, or why I had ever believed any of it. I hated myself, and realized that I had hated myself for a long time. I dove back into the pornography as a coping mechanism, and I engaged in long-running and heated debates and arguments with God.
My accountability partner thought I needed to spend more time in church. My Bible study mates seemed mystified by all of it, and promised each week to pray for me.
I, on the other hand, remember very vividly one of the few church services I attended during that time. Through most of the sermon, I sat in the third row contemplating different ways of killing myself. Eventually, I talked myself out of it because I figured it would hurt those I cared about too much if I died.
That was one of the last times I went to that church. As I began talking through all of this with the few people from that church who had demonstrated any real care for me – particularly my Bible study leader and a couple of the church elders – I realized that they didn’t have any answers. The answers they gave me seemed rehearsed, superficial, and singularly unhelpful.
Through the long, dark process, I began to come to the heart of the problem, and it was this: The self-doubt, and fear of being rejected by anyone and everyone had overwhelmed me completely. I had given away the ability to define myself. I had been freely allowing anybody and everybody around me to tell me who I was, and I had, to the best of my ability, become exactly the person they wanted to see: Pastors, parents, teachers, friends, each and every girl I’d ever attempted to have a relationship with . . . all had a hand in who I was at that point . . . everybody but me. To be sure, it wasn’t always malignant. In most cases, they simply defined me because I refused to define myself.
I had become a nobody, in the most literal sense . . . a shadow person. I had allowed everybody to define me as they wished, to the point where I had no idea who or what I was even supposed to be, much less who or what I had become.
There were a handful of people who tried to be there for me during this time, but two people in particular were able to see through all the facades and walls to speak to who I really was . . . two close friends of mine who knew about my struggles with pornography and self-esteem issues, and who had each been through the wringer themselves.
I shared everything with them – something which I’m sure the people at my church would have discouraged had they known. You see, both of these friends were girls, and this church, like ATI and the church in which I grew up, were of the belief that deep heart-to-heart conversations with members of the opposite gender lead to “unhealthy emotional bonds.”
In my case, the bonds started slipping away. I started seeing that there were people who actually cared about me, liked me for who I was, and enjoyed spending time in conversation with me. I realized that the pornography was rooted in a complete lack of self-respect and self-definition, and I started discovering the person I truly had been all along . . . the person God created me to be, but who had become so obscured by my desire to be all things to all people, that he got completely lost in it all.
I’d had confidants before . . . people I trusted with my story, but during this period, for the first time, I was able to share with someone who neither judged me and rejected me, nor tried to turn me into a project and fix me. This person, a longtime friend who was (though I had no inkling, as yet) to become my girlfriend, and later my wife, trusted God with me, and God came through. She had been through this whole mess of depression and rediscovery herself, and she kept telling me, “I know you hate hearing it, but I’m actually glad you’re going through all of this. I’ve been there, and I know what’s waiting on the other side.”
What was waiting on the other side was reality – a deeper reality than anything I have ever known. I had let other people define me for so long that I had stopped listening to God telling me who I was meant to be.
When I started listening again, I didn’t find anything remotely resembling what I expected.
Soon, the people from my church began getting concerned because I wasn’t showing up regularly at all. I didn’t want to leave, because I still loved the Bible study and getting together to talk over life’s issues with the other guys. Eventually, I started dating the girl who had been there for me through my depression . . . the one who had herself been through it all before. She was the one person who truly understood me, knew what I had been through, and knew me for who I truly was, and was meant to be, rather than the person I tried and pretended to be for so long.
The church, of course, did not approve. This girl, after all, was not going to church. She’d been hurt more than once, and had seen close friends torn to shreds by the church, in the name of “pastoral counseling.” And she wanted none of it.
Still, as I said before, she was fine with my journey being where it was . . . even if neither of us quite knew what that location might be.
I toyed with the idea of leaving the church, but wasn’t at all sure that’s what I wanted . . . or what God wanted for me. I didn’t know where else to go.
Soon, it all became much clearer. My Bible study leader informed me that the church leadership was concerned about my irregular attendance, and was considering placing me under church discipline if I did not show up more regularly. They didn’t inquire as to why I wasn’t more active or offer to help. They condemned me for failing to conform to their set of desired behaviors. When I tried to explain, they couldn’t see past my actions to engage with the deep internal struggle I was going through.
So I struggled alone. I studied and read a great deal about the church, its beliefs, and the scriptural justification for those beliefs. My study led me to an inexhorable conclusion – one I’d been fighting for a while by that point, despite my girlfriend (now my wife) having already reached that conclusion some time before.
I do not believe that Scripture mandates church attendance as a part of life in Christ’s body. I do not see any differentiation in scripture between what has become known as “the local church” and “the universal church.” I believe that distinction to be an entirely man-made construct.
To me, it seemed in my studies, and still seems now, as though scripture lays out a picture of the whole body of Christ as a single organism with Him as its head. While gathering in local synagogues and homes and hearing scripture read and taught may have been the most efficient and effective mechanism to engage in body life during the first century after Christ, it certainly isn’t anymore. I will write much more about this later. For now, let us continue on our journey . . .
(to be continued . . . )

Depression is a tough thing. There are more than 350 million people worldwide that suffer from depression. One of the saddest things to me about depression is the lack of effective medications that a person can take. Doctors almost always prescribe pharmaceuticals for depression, many of which have harmful side effects. Whenever you see a commercial on TV for a depression medication, the list of potential side effects is usually longer than the segment of the commercial dedicated to how well it works. I have seen many pharmaceutical commercials list ‘thoughts of suicide’ as one of the main potential side effects.
A study was recently released which found that marijuana can be an effective treatment for depression. Marijuana of course doesn’t cause the side effects that pharmaceuticals do. Per the Huffington Post:
Neuroscientists from the University of Buffalo’s Research Institute on Addictions found that endocannabinoids — chemical compounds in the brain that activate the same receptors as THC, an active compound in marijuana — may be helpful in treating depression that results from chronic stress.
In studies on rats, the researchers found that chronic stress reduced the production of endocannabinoids, which affect our cognition, emotion and behavior, and have been linked to reduced feelings of pain and anxiety, increases in appetite and overall feelings of well-being. The body naturally produces these compounds, which are similar to the chemicals in cannabis. Reduction of endocannabinoid production may be one reason that chronic stress is a major risk factor in the development of depression.
If you suffer from depression, or know of someone that does, make sure to give a strong consideration to using marijuana. No one should have to battle depression with harmful pharmaceuticals if they don’t want to. Depression is bad enough, adding a long list of side effects to deal with obviously makes everything worse.

Taking advantage of the anti-Obama sentiment in the state (even if the president has nothing to do with the Supreme Court race), the Republican State Leadership Committee's Judicial Fairness Initiative is running ads that link the president to State Supreme Court candidates Bill Wooten and Darrell McGraw. The first ad of the nearly quarter-of-a million-dollar ad buy is currently running and it criticizes Wooten and McGraw for not stopping President Obama as he "rolled over West Virginia."
Here's the ad:
It should be noted that candidate Brent Benjamin condemned the ad and called on the other two candidates, Beth Walker and Wayne King, to do the same. Not surprisingly, they haven't.
Could WV's newly passed right-to-work law be a victim of a Wooten or, more likely, a McGraw victory?
I checked at Open Secrets to see who contributed to the Republican Leadership Committee and the #1 contributor in 2014 (doubling #2 in money given) was the U.S. Chamber of Commerce at over $3 million. I then thought about the recent legislative session and what they backed including their unqualified support for a right-to-work law. With more research I found that earlier this month the American Prospect ran an article about right-to-work laws and specifically Wisconsin's law which was recently found to violate that state's constitution:
For many in the labor movement, it was hard not to take pleasure in Friday’s news that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s right-to-work law was found by a judge to be in violation of the state’s constitution.
The ruling was a small bright spot for a union movement that’s been subjected to the governor’s anti-worker crusade for more than five years. It was also a potential victory for the national labor movement, which in recent years has seen right-to-work laws pass at a startling pace in states that were once formidable union strongholds.
The article notes that the winning argument was based upon the "takings" clauses found in many state right-to-work laws. Labor lawyer Paul Secunda is quoted in the article that the strategy might work in West Virginia:
The quickest way for this strategy to gain traction, Secunda says, would be for unions to lodge a challenge against West Virginia’s brand new right-to-work law, which could ultimately be brought before the Fourth Circuit, a far more liberal court than the Seventh, which upheld Indiana’s right-to-work law. If the Fourth Circuit overturns the law, going against the Seventh Circuit, the Supreme Court could bring the conflicting rulings up for review. With a liberal majority lying in wait for the confirmation of Merrick Garland or of the appointee of President Obama’s likely Democratic successor, the Court could potentially overturn all states’ right-to-work laws.
With more research I found The Mackinaw Center, the largest of the state-based free market think tanks, commenting on West Virginia's Supreme Court race: "West Virginia Right-to-Work May Turn on Supreme Court Race." Since most of the site's libertarian research and articles dealt with Michigan, I wondered why it was dealing with West Virginia's right-to-work law. It appears that they were covering it because it could have implications for right-to-work laws nationwide (including Michigan). The article by F. Vincent Vernuccio mentioned the recent Wisconsin decision but then focused on the importance of the upcoming WV election:
The main concern of those who favor giving workers the freedom to choose whether or not they have to pay a union to keep their job is that with McGraw on the bench, the West Virginia Supreme Court may have the majority it needs to issue a ruling similar to the one recently made by a Wisconsin judge striking down the state’s right-to-work protections.
As Vernuccio concludes:
If McGraw is elected, it would take only one justice siding with a likely Davis vote against right-to-work, to make worker freedom in West Virginia history.
Worse, if Merrick Garland or someone of similar persuasion is appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, the outlook for right-to-work across the country could be in jeopardy.
The Intelligencer dumps Benjamin
The first half of this post was written yesterday (Thursday). This morning's "newspaper" carried a surprising AP front-page story on Brent Benjamin who looked to be the paper's endorsement for the Supreme Court as little as a month ago when it carried back-to-back stories on him. "Surprising" is an understatement on my part because the AP article contains material that was probably under-covered or not-covered at the time and has not been mentioned since:
In 2004, former coal baron Don Blankenship spent $3.5 million to help get a West Virginia Supreme Court candidate elected in a wild race that inspired a John Grisham novel.
At the time, Blankenship's company, Massey Energy, had a $50 million case pending before the court. Blankenship's Republican candidate, Brent Benjamin, won the election, and Benjamin and two other justices later ruled 3-2 in Blankenship's favor in the Massey case, saving the company a massive payout.
Now, 12 years later, Blankenship is headed to prison for a mine safety conspiracy and Benjamin is facing his first re-election fight - and opposition from many of the same people who once supported him.
Most of the article, which is long (1200 words) by Intelligencer standards, details the Benjamin-Blankenship connection. It also explains why those who supported him then have now turned on him: he's accepted public funding and he was part of a decision against a health care organization. Simply put, he's not conservative enough. The article even quotes a former supporter from West Virginia Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse who cynically admits what most followers of West Virginia politics knew when he was elected:
"I think that Justice Benjamin happened to be the candidate who made it through the primary election in 2004, and the groups involved, it was their goal to defeat Warren McGraw and to see someone else," Stauffer said.
Benjamin has criticized the outside money, he's shown some independence on the bench, and both his former financial supporters and Ogden newspapers have now dumped him -- I know what happens if you lie with dogs but I'm beginning to have some sympathy for the guy.
More on outside money
This morning's Charleston Gazette-Mail has a excellent article by their political reporter, David Gutman, on the large amount of money flowing into the state Supreme Court race. It's a good article -- Gutman details some of the groups and the money they're spending. He also describes some of their ads.
I don't think that I'm going too far out on a limb, but I think the Ogden "newspapers" will endorse Beth Walker this weekend or soon thereafter. Here's one of her ads - it touches all the right (wing) buttons including a number that have nothing to do with the judiciary:

Roofstock Review: Is This The Best Real Estate Investment Platform?
How does this real estate investing platform stack up against the others?
Roofstock is a real estate investing platform that specializes in turnkey single-family rental properties. Using Roofstock, investors can buy properties—with just a small fee paid on properties they purchase—that already have tenants, so they can start earning a return on their investment right away.
While Roofstock is not like many other real estate crowdfunding platforms, it does have several distinct advantages. For one thing, investors who buy properties through Roofstock can get direct interest—indeed, full ownership—in the properties they purchase.
Also, Roofstock’s online marketplace provides a great deal of information about every property listed for sale, including rental income information. Most other platforms are not nearly as transparent.
What is Roofstock?
Roofstock is an online real estate investing platform that was launched in 2015 and is headquartered in Oakland, California. The company’s goal is to disrupt the real estate industry by making it much easier for real estate investors to find, vet, and purchase single-family rental properties.
Unlike other investing platforms, Roofstock is known almost entirely for selling direct interest in single-family rentals. The company does not offer REITs or other alternative investment products, nor does it market properties designed for flippers.
Instead, Roofstock is a platform specifically focused on buying and selling single-family residential properties (and portfolios) that are already rented and producing income.
The one other investment option available through Roofstock—called Roofstock One—allows users to invest as little as $5,000 to buy a partial interest in single-family rentals.
How Roofstock works
Roofstock is a mostly-open platform that allows users to search properties listed in their marketplace without even registering. However, once a new user creates an account, additional information is available about properties available for sale.
If an investor finds a property they like through Roofstock, they can purchase the property completely online (Roofstock even has partners that can help with financing). The only fee that Roofstock charges for helping investors find and purchase rentals is a surcharge of 0.5% of the purchase price (minimum $500).
Roofstock’s deal process
In addition to working with Roofstock as a buyer, users can also sell single-family rental properties through the platform. And, while the process for buying properties through Roofstock is relatively simple, the steps for selling through Roofstock are only slightly more involved.
Unlike other real estate investing platforms, the deals available through Roofstock are largely open-source. When someone wants to sell a property, they can list it directly on Roofstock’s marketplace, with Roofstock gathering information on the property including the address, the state of the home, and info on the tenants (rent, duration of the lease, etc.).
Once a property is added to Roofstock’s marketplace, users can view information about the property for free. There aren’t any fees until a property actually sells—with a 0.5% fee due from buyers and a 3% commission due from sellers.
And, for investors who own portfolios of properties, Roofstock has a process for users who want to sell an entire portfolio all at once—though they may have to take a hit on the sales price in exchange for selling many properties all at once.
The biggest thing that Roofstock is known for is its marketplace. However, the company also has two other principal offerings:
- Roofstock One - Let’s users invest as little as $5,000 to buy a partial interest in investment properties
- Platform Services - Helps users manage their properties by matching them with knowledgeable local managers
Typical cost and returns
There is no cost to sign up for Roofstock’s marketplace, nor is there a monthly fee. Users who purchase a property through Roofstock pay a small fee at closing, equal to 0.5% of purchase price or $500, whichever is greater.
Additionally, users who sell properties through Roofstock are charged a 3% selling fee, though this is less than the commissions charged by most real estate agents.
While Roofstock doesn’t charge monthly fees to investors who purchase entire properties through its marketplace, investors who use Roofstock One to purchase a partial interest in properties are charged an annual management fee of 0.5%, assessed quarterly.
Information on the average returns for Roofstock investors is not immediately available, but individual cap rates are available on each property’s listing.
Roofstock’s core offerings are relatively simple and straightforward, but one of the great things about Roofstock is the amount of additional value the company can offer investors—in part because of its simple selling structure.
For one thing, Roofstock’s option of purchasing a direct interest in properties through its marketplace makes Roofstock a great option for investors who want to complete a 1031 exchange in order to defer taxes on gains from the sale of properties.
Owning direct interest in properties also makes it possible to invest through Roofstock using an IRA—though this involves setting up a self-directed IRA with a third-party provider (New Direction Trust Company) that Rofostock has partnered with. This will also require extra fees.
Roofstock’s biggest value adds, though, are for management and financing. For investors who purchase properties through Roofstock, the platform can help them connect with reputable local managers who can help collect rent, handle maintenance requests, and market properties if tenants decide to move out.
And, for investors who want to finance their investments through Roofstock, the company has relationships with two different financing partners (Agora and Better.com) that can provide a number of different financing options.
In addition to these great benefits, Roofstock also has Roofstock Academy, which is a great resource for users who want to learn more about real estate investing. And, the company offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee for users who purchase properties through their marketplace. If you aren’t happy with your investment, Roofstock will let you resell the property for free, or even purchase it directly from you so you can get your money back.
Pros & cons of Roofstock
- Next to no buyer fees
- Investors own a direct interest in real estate
- No annual holding charges
- 30-day guarantee
- Excellent reviews online
- High minimum cost of investment (unless you invest in fractional ownership)
- Financing isn’t available directly through the platform
- Roofstock doesn’t manage properties
- No crowdfunding option (unless you invest through Roofstock One)
Who should use Roofstock
Roofstock is a great option for people who have experience investing in real estate and are comfortable buying rental properties in areas outside where they live that can be managed by professional managers. Additionally, investors who use Roofstock should typically have $20,000 or more to invest, so they have enough for a down payment and closing costs on a typical rental listed on the platform.
The ideal Roofstock user is:
- An experienced real estate investor
- Wanting to focus on single-family residential properties
- Comfortable buying without viewing in person
- Willing to use independent managers
- Someone with at least $20,000 to $30,0000 to invest
- A person with a net worth of $100,000 or more
Roofstock is a real estate investing platform that specializes in helping investors find turnkey single-family residential rental properties that already have tenants and are already producing rental income. But, this option isn’t for everyone. Investors who want to focus on commercial real estate, for example, will not find many options on Roofstock, nor will those who prefer short-term vacation rentals.

I’m no Lily Pebbles when it comes to ‘What’s on my Face’, but I wanted to quickly show you all my makeup of the day! I love seeing videos and blog posts about people’s everyday makeup, so I hope you all enjoy seeing mine for today!
Today I used my Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation (review to come!) and mixed it with my Aveeno moisturizer to create a thinner and more sheer base.
It may look like a lot of foundation when it’s mixed, but it’s really not!
I finished my base and used the foundation as a spot concealer, then I moved on to my eyes. I wanted to use my Stila in the light palette to create a soft smokey eye. I used the champagne shadow in the top row all over my lid, and I worked the dark matte brown into my crease. I followed up by adding the matte purple-brown in my Sephora palette as a liner on my top lashline. After adding the crease color along my bottom lashline, I applied two coats of my Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara.
For cheeks, I used my beloved Revlon Matte blush onto the apples with my soft, fluffy powder brush. I added my EOS Summer Fruit lip balm to hydrate my lips, and then I applied my Covergirl lip Smoochies for a subtle wash of red.
Here’s the finished look! I hope you all enjoyed this and I want you guys to let me know if you like these ‘What’s on my Face’ type of posts!

A tooth infection is a serious oral health issue that requires immediate attention. Ignoring or leaving a tooth infection untreated can lead to complications that extend beyond your mouth. Tooth infections, also known as dental abscesses, typically start due to untreated tooth decay or trauma that allows bacteria to penetrate the inner layers of a tooth. If you suspect you have a tooth infection or are experiencing persistent dental pain, don’t delay seeking professional dental care.
How to Know If You Have a Tooth Infection?
Detecting a tooth infection in its early stages is crucial for preventing complications and ensuring timely treatment. Understanding the signs and symptoms can help you proactively address the issue before it worsens.
- Persistent Pain: A throbbing or sharp pain around a specific tooth or in the jaw can indicate an infection.
- Sensitivity: Heightened sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, especially when the sensation lingers after the stimulus is removed.
- Swelling: Swelling of the gum tissue around the affected tooth is a common indicator of infection.
- Discoloration: Discoloration of the tooth, often appearing darker than surrounding teeth, can point to an underlying issue.
- Pimple-like Bump: The presence of a pimple-like bump on the gums, called a gum boil or dental abscess, can signal infection.
- Foul Taste or Odor: An unpleasant taste or odor in the mouth, even after brushing, may indicate infection.
While some symptoms may be obvious, diagnosing a tooth infection requires the expertise of a dental professional. If you suspect you have a tooth infection or experience any of the symptoms mentioned, don’t delay seeking professional care.
How Long Can I Wait Before Seeking Treatment?
Delaying treatment can lead to a chain of events that not only increases discomfort but also escalates the severity of the infection. What may start as mild discomfort or sensitivity can quickly escalate into severe pain and swelling.
- Early Stages (Weeks 1-2): In the initial stages, you may experience occasional discomfort and sensitivity. The infection remains localized within the tooth.
- Intermediate Stage (Weeks 2-4): Without treatment, the infection progresses. Pain becomes more consistent, and sensitivity intensifies. The infection may start affecting the surrounding gum tissues.
- Advanced Stage (Weeks 4-8+): By this point, the infection can cause severe pain, swelling, and a noticeable pimple-like bump on the gums. The risk of systemic complications increases as bacteria can enter the bloodstream.
The longer you wait to seek treatment, the higher the likelihood of complications arising. Abscesses can form, leading to intense pain, fever, and facial swelling. Additionally, the infection can compromise the structural integrity of the tooth and surrounding tissues.
What Treatments Are Available for Tooth Infection?
When it comes to treating a tooth infection, there are several approaches based on the severity of the infection and the extent of the damage. Seeking prompt, professional care is essential to determine the most suitable treatment path.
Antibiotics and Drainage
For mild infections, a dental professional may prescribe antibiotics to control the spread of the infection. However, antibiotics alone are not a definitive solution; they help manage the infection temporarily but don’t address the underlying cause. In cases where an abscess has formed, drainage may be necessary to relieve pain and pressure.
Root Canal Therapy
In cases of more advanced infections or severe decay, root canal therapy is often recommended. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp from the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the canal, and sealing it to prevent future infection. Root canal therapy not only eliminates the infection but also preserves the tooth’s structure and function.
When treated early, the infection can be effectively controlled, and the damage can be minimized. However, delaying treatment can lead to complications, including needing more extensive treatments and potential tooth loss.
Tooth Infection Treatment in Portland, ME
A tooth infection may seem like a minor inconvenience, but its impact can extend beyond your mouth. If you suspect you have a tooth infection or experience any symptoms, don’t delay seeking professional dental care; schedule an initial consultation at Thrive Dental Studio in Portland, ME. Dr. Figueiredo and his team provide care that addresses dental infections promptly and effectively.

Can you freeze pesto? Absolutely! Using our 12+ years of freezer cooking experience, we are sharing anything and everything you need to know about how to freeze fresh pesto.
Thriving Home Loves Pesto
Rachel and I laugh because as we were developing healthy, freezable recipes for our cookbook called From Freezer to Table, we constantly gravitated towards anything with pesto in it.
Probably because of its big, fresh flavor that freezes well.
The fresher the better too! I’m convinced that in a taste test, 10 times out of 10 I could identify homemade, fresh pesto from store-bought pesto.
Since I can kind of be a pesto snob, I am doing my best to make my own pesto, stock up and freeze portions for months to come.
What is Pesto?
Pesto is a traditional Italian sauce that is typically made from fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and extra-virgin olive oil.
The ingredients are traditionally ground together using a mortar and pestle, which is where the sauce gets its name (pesto means “to pound” or “to crush” in Italian).
However, nowadays, pesto is more commonly prepared using a food processor or blender for convenience.
Store Bought vs. Pesto
Homemade Pesto is just SO much tastier than store-bought pesto. The canned pesto from the store is more oily and lacks the fresh taste of basil that just can’t be replicated.
If you must buy it from the store, we recommend getting refrigerated pesto if possible.
Because of the superiority of fresh pesto, I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE advocate of making tons of fresh pesto when basil is in season and freezing it to use all year long. We have an entire post and video on How to Make Fresh Pesto so be sure to hop over to that post and read up on how to make it.
How to Freeze Pesto
I’ve been making and freezing my own pesto for years. I’ve tried all sorts of different ways to freeze it and have narrowed down what works (and what doesn’t!)
Choose the right container
These containers will work great for freezing pesto:
I prefer to freeze my pesto in smaller amounts so I don’t thaw out any that I won’t use.
Add pesto and top with oil
Scoop the desired amount of pesto into the freezer friendly container.
To prevent that fresh green color from turning darker, top your pesto with a bit of oil to prevent it from air exposure.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t necessary. The flavor will be the same despite the color but if you want to preserve that fresh pesto look, adding a bit of oil to protect it will be a step you’ll want to do.
Freeze the pesto
Freeze the pesto until solid. If you want, pop the portions out of the container, and place the pesto in an air-tight freezer bag or container. (Here are our favorite freezer containers.)

If the pesto is exposed to air, yes, it will change color but not flavor. That’s why we suggest topping it with a little extra olive oil after putting it in your freezer container.
This really depends on how you package it. Keep in mind that air is the enemy of freezer meals. The less air the pesto is exposed to, the longer it will last. If packaged well, pesto will still be good for up to 6 months or more!
Yes and no. You could refreeze pesto but we’d recommend only thawing out what you need. The reason is, each time you freeze and thaw pesto, it can affect the flavor, texture, and overall quality.
Did you make this? Snap a photo and tag us on Instagram at @thrivinghome so we can see your creations and cheer you on!
- 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/4 cup pine nuts (sub: walnuts)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (plus a bit more for freezing)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Before You Begin! If you make this, please leave a review and rating letting us know how you liked this recipe! This helps our business thrive & continue providing free recipes.
- In a food processor, combine the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and cheese and pulse until coarsely chopped.
- Add 1/2 cup of olive oil and process until fully incorporated and smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Thunder Creek Delivers Big Changes for Moffitt Services
Moffitt Services — a Texas-based fuel and lubricants distributor committed to providing quality fuels, lubricants, and superior service to customers that operate heavy equipment, generators, automotive and truck fleets — finds itself in the crosshairs of unique situations and opportunities. The greater Houston area remains the second-fastest growing metro market in the United States, which has entirely changed how construction takes place in the region. A byproduct of that has been an increase in demand for more agile and fast-turn fuel deliveries — often in smaller quantities and spread across a more expansive footprint of the region.
“In the Greater Houston area, development has been at a feverish pace — particularly residential development,” says Carl Kleimann, partner/owner, Moffitt Services. “They're building subdivisions so fast that homes are being built before the power grid is even up and connected. In many cases, we're making deliveries of 20, 30, 40 gallons a day to generators that are powering the construction of a single-family home. We didn't see this 10 or 15 years ago.
“We didn't even see this five years ago. It’s a very small delivery and it requires a lot of efficiency to do it cost effectively. It’s very important, because this is many of our customers’ livelihood. If they didn’t have a generator, they might have to wait for another year to be able to start that development. We’ve needed to develop a different set of skills around productivity and efficiency, and Thunder Creek helped us meet this challenge.”
The company, founded in 1947, originally focused on delivering fuel in large volumes, but has taken these unique market challenges head-on with the help of Thunder Creek Equipment and its Multi-Tank Trailers, and medium duty trucks equipped with Thunder Creek’s Multi-Tank Upfit.
This has been a significant shift the company’s approach to fleet management, ownership, and execution. Both Thunder Creek solutions — capable of carrying up to 920 gallons of diesel in a platform that does not require a HAZMAT endorsement — are significantly smaller than the typical 4-5,000 gallon fuel haulers the company typically deployed. Those larger rigs are still critical to the business, but the diversification in style and size of vehicle has opened up new opportunities.
“Not only do we need to service generators on busy construction sites, but we also sell to customers who have standby generators,” Kleimann says. “Any hotel greater than three stories, office buildings of any size are required to have standby power. In many cases, those generators may be in a parking garage, or they may be located near a dock or an area where it's just not practical to get a 45- or 50,000-pound bobtail. The Thunder Creek trucks and trailers give us a really good solution for this.
“It’s the same in these growing subdivisions developments. In many cases, the roads and the infrastructure are still being developed and our customers would much rather have a pickup pulling a Thunder Creek trailer or a Thunder Creek truck going through that development than a [much larger truck].”
Crafting a More Efficient Fuel Delivery Platform
The decision to add Thunder Creek Multi-Tank Upfit trucks and Thunder Creek Multi-Tank Trailers to the Moffitt Services fleet became a situation of necessity to maximize these unique opportunities. The company now has 20 different Thunder Creek units spread throughout Texas serving customers and jobsites of all sizes.
“We were growing faster than we could really acquire trucks or bobtails and commercial drivers,” Kleimann shares. “We came across the team at Thunder Creek and suddenly we were looking at a very interesting opportunity. These pieces of equipment really do play an important role for us, particularly in our fast turnaround, same day service environment.”
The Thunder Creek Multi-Tank Upfit is currently compatible with a number of available medium duty truck chassis. It features six independent, 115-gallon diesel tanks that feed a diesel pump at the rear of the truck. Options include a variety of meters for measuring, security and tracking, numerous reel options and lengths, and a two-stage fuel filter system (10- and 4-micron filter) to ensure greater fuel quality.
Because the independent 115-gallon tanks are only tied together when each tank is opened up by the manifold at the rear of the truck, drivers can legally transport 920 gallons of diesel without a CDL or HAZMAT endorsement*.
Moffitt Services also relies on a fleet of Thunder Creek Multi-Tank Trailers — the original industry solution for transporting bulk diesel without a CDL or HAZMAT (depending on the size and weight combination of the truck and trailer). These trailers are built to maintain a low profile and are configured to provide optimal balance and a smooth ride at highway speeds, as well as in the most rugged off-highway conditions. Each trailer can be complemented with a 100-gallon two-in-one DEF system, and a utility box that allows its owner to customize the back end with greasing systems, welders, generators, air compressors and more.
Between a challenging labor market, fluctuating demand volumes and an ever-expanding footprint, the ability to have these units driven/operated by drivers who do not have a CDL or HAZMAT endorsements has provided a significant business advantage.
From a fleet management perspective, it’s also significantly more practical to have the Thunder Creek units on standby than much larger, more expensive vehicles.
“Having the availability of the multi-tank units, the MTT920s, gives us the ability to ramp up quickly,” says Kleimann. “In the event of a disaster or some type of event on peak summer days when we're already at our busiest, the trailers allow us to react faster. There's just not a better way to move product quickly. The other option is having $350,000 bobtails parked and not enough commercial drivers to operate them. It's really a no-brainer.”
The Thunder Creek units also provide another advantage: the manufacturer’s proprietary 2-in-1 diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) system that provides a turnkey way of delivering DEF to the field while keeping it free of contaminants.
“The Thunder Creeks have a great DEF dispensing system,” says Kleimann. “It's very difficult to find bobtails equipped with a good diesel exhaust fluid system. Thunder Creek's done a great job with this.”
Taking all of these factors into consideration, the addition and deployment of these unique fuel delivery systems into the Moffitt fleet has helped the company stay true to its most critical commitment to its customers: trust, speed of service and dependability.
“We try to focus on those industries, those businesses, and those environments where failure is not an option, or at a minimum is very expensive,” explains Kleimann. “If you run out of fuel on a job with 15 or 20 pieces of equipment, that can be very costly, and our job is to make sure that doesn't happen, and we take that job seriously. We are open all the time. The company never stops, it never sleeps. We are always ready.

Losing faith in PE
I followed the newbie routine for 2 months as the guide instructed
And gained nothing at all. At first I thought I gained at least 0.1”
But that turned out to be a measuring error/EQ related gain and not
An actual length gain.
Restarted for a week now, and turned up my streches to 1 minute and
Kept dry jelqing as much as I can do in 10 minutes. Left out the kegels
This time to see actual gains instead of just improved erections (still do
Warm up/downs of course). With the kegels out, I have no gains from EQ
And have weaker erections. All I got is a slightly better flaccid.
This is so discouraging, where should I go from here?

Jesse did our store front sign and we LOVE it! It was exactly what we were looking for at the time. When it came to redoing our storefront façade we ended up taking it down and upcycling it to a conference room table and it reminds us of where we started. Thanks for being apart of our growth and taking the time to listen and create something beautiful!
Jesse Lee Hoehn of Timbercraft Cabinetry & Woodwork designed, built and installed cabinetry for an addition to our church building in Louisburg, Kansas. The craftsmanship is outstanding, adaptable to a variety of uses, easy to keep clean and after more than six years of use by church and community groups, the cabinets have the appearance of a newly installed product. Jesse's designs and finishes perfectly match the space he built them for. Jesse is responsive, dependable and very professional. He understood what we wanted and provided our church some very fine cabinets.
Jesse has been an amazing cabinet maker to work with on our project. He is always so polite, prompt, considerate, and very communicative regarding the project. He is experienced and able to anticipate potential problems and create solutions to avoid them. His craftsmanship is remarkable and we are so excited about our new master vanity cabinets. We have already referred him to family and friends.

First, let me introduce myself. I am a Colombian PhD student at the National University of La Plata, Argentina. My research is focused on the evolution of xenartrans, mammals that include armadillos, sloths, and anteaters.
Since I was a child, I have had a strong fascination to learn about nature. For that reason, I loved (and I still do love) reading a lot and watching documentaries about science, wildlife, meteorological phenomena, the history of the Earth, the history of the Universe, astrophysical theories and hypotheses, and other similar topics. Science has an amazing explanatory power, and that has always been what I like most about it. Science allows us to know our place in the Universe.
Following my vocation, I studied biology in college. Although during my undergrad there were many disciplines that caught my attention, the only one that enamored me was the study of extinct life forms, i.e. paleobiology. At first glance, it is not easy to explain why I wanted to be a paleobiologist, since there are very few Colombian paleobiologists and institutions that teach paleobiology and/or develop paleobiological research in my home country. However, studying the unique history of evolution of living beings seemed not only a noble, respectable activity, but it also became a passion that I believe will always accompany me as long as I live. Paleobiology has formed the basis of my life in the professional field, and also in a personal, philosophical sense.
To perform research in paleobiology in a country located in the intertropical belt of the planet (near the equator) and characterized as one of the most biologically diverse areas on Earth poses great challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, there is little or no state support to study paleobiology as a consequence of socio-historical development. In addition, there are limitations related to logistics in regions that are difficult to access due their geographic location and/or security features. We also face scarcity of continuous outcrops of sedimentary rocks where fossils can be found. Often, as a result of climatic factors and abundant vegetation (plant life), fossils are poorly preserved (however, sometimes, they are exquisitely preserved!). But these limitations are largely compensated by huge opportunities. Fossils from the tropics are exceptionally valuable. They document innumerable evolutionary stories that can help explain one of the most disturbing questions for many biologists: why is there a tendency in different groups of living organisms to present greater diversity in the intertropical zone compared to other regions on Earth, such as in higher latitudes?
Paleobiology in the tropics is very necessary because of the generalized geographic bias in research of many extinct organisms and periods of Earth’s history. Namely, most research on these topics has been conducted in Europe and North America. In Colombia, paleontological field expeditions and studies have yielded surprising findings, including, of course, our flagship fossil organism (in my opinion): Titanoboa (Titanoboa cerrejonensis). For all those who do not know it, this snake lived approximately 60 million years ago in the extreme north of Colombia (Guajira peninsula), and its most surprising feature is its size and body mass. Titanoboa measured about 13 meters in length and could exceed one metric ton in weight. That makes it the largest known snake of all time!
I contribute to tropical paleobiology by studying fossil xenartrans (armadillos, sloths, and anteaters), particularly those that lived in northern South America and southern Central America. I seek to clarify questions on evolutionary/phylogenetic relationships between extinct representatives of these charismatic mammals and, at the same time, to reconstruct historic changes in their geographical distributions (where they lived through time).
Why is it important to study extinct armadillos, sloths, and anteaters? There are many reasons, but my favorite is that they are animals whose origin and evolution are closely related to great-magnitude abiotic (non-biological) events and processes (such as climate changes and tectonic events). Through tens of millions of years, abiotic factors shaped their biology and ecology to configure the xenartrans in one of the most peculiar mammals that existed during the Cenozoic (the last 65 million years). Have you seen how strange some armadillos look when they roll into a ball, or the very slow movements of a three-toed sloth, or the long tubular snout of a giant anteater? If you have not seen this, you should check out the videos linked in the previous sentence. But in the fossil record we know even more bizarre features of xenartrans than we see in living species. For example, several species of giant sloths used to swim (yes, you read it right, ‘swim’) in littoral zones (areas close to the beach) of western South America around 5 million years ago! Is that not mind-bending?
Xenartrans constitute an outstanding study model on how Earth and life evolve together, from their evolutionary differentiation ~98 million years ago, possibly triggered by the geographic separation of Africa and South America, until their colonization of North America during the last 9 million years in the environmental framework of the Panama Isthmus uplift and the Last Great Glaciation. This makes xenartrans interesting organisms to study evolutionary patterns and processes of high complexity in the tropics.
I am particularly interested on the evolutionary implications (diversification) of dispersal (or movement) events of xenartrans from northern South America to North America (including its ancient Central American peninsula) during geologic intervals which immediately precede the definitive formation of the Isthmus of Panama. Long distance dispersal through a shallow sea, like that which existed between southern Central America and northwestern South America before the complete isthmus emergence, is one of the least understood biogeographic phenomena. The explanatory mechanism of long-distance dispersal allows for disjunct distributions and for us to more comprehensively understand the subtle interaction between distinctive faunas of contiguous areas.
In order to fulfill my general research objective, it is necessary to work hard in determining identities and affinities of Middle-Miocene to Pliocene (15-2 million years old) xenartrans of the aforementioned regions, including not only previously collected fossils, but also new findings. In a complementary way, it is required to put identifications in geographic context through faunal similarity/dissimilarity methods. I also use probabilistic biogeographic models (models that use statistics) to infer major distributional patterns and processes of several subgroups of xenartrans, so that we could understand in an analytic, non-strictly traditional narrative way, the changes of their occurrences in space. Finally, long distance dispersal events through poorly suitable environments for most xenartrans, like shallow seas, are approached through locomotive reconstructions to estimate dispersal capacity (vagility).
I want to end this post by giving an important advice to all those who aspire to be scientists. The path to work in science may be, to a greater or lesser extent, long and complex. However, if you remain true to your convictions and strive under a regime of self-discipline, you will not only be a scientist, but also one of the most prominent researchers in your field. Question everything, do not firmly hold onto hypothesis that have little associated evidence. And, above all, write, write to clarify in your mind many issues related to your research.

Pastrami is a popular deli meat known for its distinctive smoky flavor and tender texture. However, like any perishable food item, pastrami can go bad if not stored properly or consumed within a certain timeframe. In this article, we will delve into the world of pastrami and explore how to determine if it has gone bad. From understanding what pastrami is to learning about its shelf life and potential health risks, we will cover all the essential information you need to ensure your pastrami is fresh and safe to eat.
Understanding Pastrami: A Brief Overview
Before delving into the signs of spoiled pastrami, let’s begin with a brief overview of this mouthwatering delicacy. Pastrami is a type of cured meat traditionally made from beef, although variants using pork, turkey, or other meats can also be found. The meat is typically seasoned with a blend of spices, such as coriander, black pepper, and garlic, before undergoing a curing and smoking process that gives it its distinct flavor.
What is Pastrami?
Pastrami originated in Eastern Europe and has since become a beloved ingredient in sandwiches, salads, and various other dishes worldwide. It is often thinly sliced and enjoyed on rye bread with mustard, sauerkraut, or pickles. The unique combination of flavors and textures makes pastrami a popular choice for deli enthusiasts.
How is Pastrami Made?
Traditional pastrami-making involves several steps to achieve the desirable taste and texture. Firstly, the meat is typically rubbed with a mixture of spices, which can vary depending on the recipe and regional preferences. It is then left to marinate for a period of time, allowing the spices to permeate the meat. After marination, the meat is dried and smoked, giving it its signature smoky flavor. The smoking process also helps preserve the meat and extend its shelf life.
Once the meat has been properly seasoned and marinated, it is ready for the smoking process. This step is crucial in developing the unique flavor profile of pastrami. The meat is placed in a smoker, where it is exposed to low heat and smoke for several hours. The combination of heat and smoke infuses the meat with a rich, smoky taste that is characteristic of pastrami.
After the smoking process, the pastrami is cooled and sliced into thin, tender slices. The slices are often served on rye bread, which provides a hearty and slightly tangy base for the flavorful meat. Pastrami sandwiches are commonly topped with mustard, sauerkraut, or pickles, which add a tangy and crunchy element to the overall taste experience.
Pastrami-making is an art that requires patience and attention to detail. The curing, marinating, and smoking processes must be carefully monitored to ensure that the meat is properly seasoned, tender, and flavorful. Each step contributes to the final product, creating a culinary delight that is enjoyed by people all over the world.
The Shelf Life of Pastrami
When it comes to pastrami, understanding its shelf life is crucial in determining whether it is still safe to consume. The shelf life of pastrami can vary depending on several factors, including whether it is unopened or opened and how it is stored.
Pastrami, a popular deli meat made from beef, undergoes a curing and smoking process that gives it a distinct flavor and texture. This process not only enhances the taste but also helps preserve the meat for a certain period of time.
Unopened Pastrami: How Long Does It Last?
Unopened pastrami can generally be kept in the refrigerator for around 1 to 2 weeks past the “sell by” date. However, it is important to note that this time frame is an estimate, and the quality of the pastrami may deteriorate over time. To ensure optimal freshness, it is advisable to consume unopened pastrami within a week of purchase.
When stored properly, unopened pastrami remains fresh and flavorful. It is crucial to keep the pastrami in its original packaging or transfer it to an airtight container to prevent exposure to air and moisture. This will help maintain its quality and extend its shelf life.
It is worth mentioning that the shelf life of pastrami can also be influenced by the storage temperature. Keeping it at a consistent temperature of 40°F (4°C) or below is essential to slow down the growth of bacteria and maintain the quality of the meat.
Opened Pastrami: When Does It Go Bad?
Once you have opened the package, the clock starts ticking for your pastrami. When properly stored in the refrigerator, opened pastrami can last for approximately 3 to 5 days. However, it is essential to inspect the meat for any signs of spoilage before consuming.
When checking for spoilage, look out for any changes in color, texture, or odor. If the pastrami appears slimy, has a foul smell, or has developed mold, it is best to discard it immediately. These are clear indicators that the meat has gone bad and should not be consumed.
To ensure the longevity of opened pastrami, it is crucial to handle it with clean hands and use clean utensils when removing slices. This minimizes the risk of introducing bacteria that can accelerate spoilage.
When storing opened pastrami, it is advisable to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a resealable bag to prevent air exposure. This will help maintain its flavor and prevent it from drying out too quickly.
While pastrami can be a delicious addition to sandwiches and other dishes, it is important to be mindful of its shelf life. By understanding how long pastrami can last and following proper storage practices, you can ensure that your pastrami remains safe and enjoyable to consume.
Signs of Spoiled Pastrami
Determining if your pastrami has gone bad involves utilizing your senses and observing a few key indicators. Here are some telltale signs that your pastrami may have spoiled and should be discarded:
Visual Indicators of Bad Pastrami
Visually inspect the pastrami for any noticeable changes in color, texture, or appearance. Spoiled pastrami may exhibit mold growth, an off-putting slimy texture, or a dull and faded appearance. Any visible signs of discoloration, patches of mold, or other anomalies are strong indications that the pastrami is no longer safe to eat.
Additionally, when examining the pastrami, pay attention to the marbling within the meat. Fresh pastrami should have a good distribution of fat throughout, as this contributes to its flavor and tenderness. If you notice an excessive amount of fat or an uneven distribution, it may be a sign that the pastrami has been poorly prepared or stored.
Furthermore, inspect the packaging or wrapping of the pastrami. If you notice any tears, punctures, or leaks, it could indicate that the meat has been exposed to air and potentially harmful bacteria.
Smell Test: Detecting Spoiled Pastrami
Your sense of smell can also help determine the quality of pastrami. Take a whiff of the meat and pay attention to any unusual or foul odors. Fresh pastrami should have a pleasant, smoky aroma. If the smell is sour, putrid, or reminiscent of ammonia, it is a clear indication that the pastrami has spoiled.
It is important to note that certain spices and seasonings used in the preparation of pastrami can have a strong aroma. However, if the smell is overpowering or significantly different from what you would expect, it is best to exercise caution and discard the pastrami.
Taste and Texture: Last Resort Checks
If visual and olfactory inspections do not provide conclusive evidence, you can resort to the taste and texture test. Fresh pastrami should have a tender and slightly chewy texture. If it feels excessively dry, mushy, or has an unpleasant sliminess, it is best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
When tasting pastrami, pay attention to the flavors and overall experience. The meat should have a rich, smoky taste with a hint of spice. If the pastrami tastes off, rancid, or has an unappetizing flavor, it is advisable to avoid consuming it.
It is worth mentioning that while these indicators are helpful in determining the freshness of pastrami, it is always better to be safe than sorry. If you have any doubts about the quality of the pastrami, it is best to discard it to avoid potential foodborne illnesses.
Health Risks Associated with Eating Bad Pastrami
Consuming spoiled pastrami can pose various health risks that can range from mild discomfort to severe illness. The most common concern associated with eating spoiled pastrami is the potential for food poisoning.
Food poisoning can occur when harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella or Listeria, contaminate the pastrami and multiply to dangerous levels. These bacteria can enter the pastrami during the processing, packaging, or storage stages. It is essential to handle and store pastrami properly to minimize the risk of contamination.
Symptoms of food poisoning may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. The severity and duration of these symptoms can vary depending on the type and amount of bacteria ingested. In most cases, food poisoning resolves on its own within a few days. However, severe cases may require medical attention.
When experiencing food poisoning, it is crucial to stay hydrated to prevent dehydration caused by vomiting and diarrhea. Drinking plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, and electrolyte solutions, can help replace lost fluids and electrolytes.
In addition to staying hydrated, it is advisable to rest and avoid consuming solid foods until the symptoms subside. This allows the digestive system to recover and reduces the risk of further irritation.
If you suspect that spoiled pastrami has caused food poisoning, it is important to seek medical advice. A healthcare professional can provide appropriate guidance and treatment options based on the severity of your symptoms. They may recommend over-the-counter medications to alleviate discomfort or prescribe antibiotics if necessary.
To prevent food poisoning from spoiled pastrami, it is crucial to practice proper food safety measures. This includes storing pastrami at the correct temperature, which is typically below 40°F (4°C), and consuming it within the recommended time frame. It is also essential to ensure that the pastrami is sourced from reputable suppliers who follow strict food safety protocols.
Furthermore, practicing good personal hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly before handling food and using separate cutting boards for raw and cooked meats, can help minimize the risk of contamination.
By being aware of the potential health risks associated with eating bad pastrami and taking necessary precautions, you can enjoy this delicious deli meat without compromising your well-being.
Food Poisoning: Symptoms and Treatments
Food poisoning can occur when harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella or Listeria, contaminate the pastrami and multiply to dangerous levels. Symptoms of food poisoning may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. In most cases, food poisoning resolves on its own within a few days. However, severe cases may require medical attention. If you suspect that spoiled pastrami has caused food poisoning, it is important to stay hydrated and seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen.
Proper Storage of Pastrami to Extend Its Shelf Life
To maximize the shelf life of your pastrami and minimize the risk of spoilage, proper storage is essential. The following tips can help extend the longevity of your pastrami:

CORVALLIS, Ore. – A faculty-led, student-driven Oregon State University initiative that uses data science to address issues in rural communities is underway with projects ranging from the impacts of air quality on health in Lane County to regulatory impacts on economic development in eastern Oregon.
Data Science for the Public Good leverages OSU's significant expertise, resources and infrastructure to address community needs. It launched this spring with five Young Scholars teams comprising a total of five graduate students and 10 undergraduate students from five Oregon institutions: OSU, the University of Oregon, Portland State University, Reed College and Southern Oregon University.
The students participated in June in a 10-day training course in data analysis and programming.
Through late August they will be guided and mentored by a faculty member with expertise in the relevant area. The students are learning about data formats, methods in machine learning and statistics, databases and storage, data visualizations, project management and common tools such as R, the statistical programming language, Leaflet, the interactive mapping library, and software development repositories git and GitHub.
The projects were identified by local stakeholders through the OSU Extension Service and focus on analyzing data provided by those stakeholders, who are communicating frequently with the data-science research teams working on their project.
The projects include:
These projects are intended to provide the students with collaborative data science research experiences in real-world settings, and provide rural stakeholders with data science analyses relevant to an issue of interest.
Ten of the 15 students come from rural backgrounds. The initiative serves as a platform to introduce them to careers in the knowledge economy, said Brett Tyler, director of OSU’s Center for Genome Research and Biocomputing who is serving as a co-principal investigator on the grants funding the project.
In addition to student experiential learning, the initiative also focuses on creating a set of online resources for other universities and training Extension staff to bring data science projects into the communities they serve, Tyler said.
Data science, also known as “big data,” can be used in areas such as precision agriculture, resource management, inventory management, and medicine and healthcare. In an increasingly information-driven society, rural communities are facing new challenges, Tyler said. These challenges affect people, towns, local governments, businesses large and small, and industries ranging from manufacturing to agriculture.
The solutions to some of the problems they are facing may be found in the data towns and cities already collect, but lack the resources to access and analyze, Tyler said.
“This is where Data Science for the Public Good steps in,” Tyler said. “There’s a growing disparity between access and the tools available with data science and rural communities. The data science needs for our rural communities is very extensive. The communities that are able to access data science approaches are doing well and those that can’t are falling behind.”
Due to COVID-19, the Young Scholars Program is being conducted entirely online, with faculty, trainers, students, and stakeholders communicating via online messaging platforms.
“A data science summer research experience is uniquely well-suited to a fully online environment,” Tyler said. “It illustrates how rural communities and rural data scientists can connect virtually to expertise across the state.”
Data Science for the Public Good is part of a tri-state collaboration involving the Center for Genome Research and Biocomputing and OSU Extension with the University of Virginia, Iowa State University, Virginia Tech and Virginia State University. It is funded by separate $1 million grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
About Oregon State University: As one of only three land, sea, space and sun grant universities in the nation, Oregon State serves Oregon and the world by working on today’s most pressing issues. Our more than 35,000 students come from across the globe, and our programs operate in every Oregon county. Oregon State receives more research funding than all of the state’s comprehensive public universities combined. At our campuses in Corvallis and Bend, marine research center in Newport, OSU Portland Center and award-winning Ecampus, we excel at shaping today’s students into tomorrow’s leaders.

I recently completed what is likely my last public presentation in connection with Inheriting the Trade for awhile. I don’t anticipate any speaking appearances until at least mid-September. When we schedule future appearances I hope that many of the organizers will follow the highly successful model that was employed last week in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Donna Odom is the president of the Southwest Michigan Black Heritage Society (SMBHS). I just mailed in my membership application. I’m hopeful that as a result of all the powerful encounters people in Kalamazoo had last week that SMBHS will now gain many more new members.
Donna contacted me last year through my publisher (Beacon Press) to discuss the possibility of my speaking in Kalamazoo as one part of a series of events designed to engage community members in serious discussions about “race” in advance of the “Race: Are We So Different?” exhibit that is coming to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum in October.
I’m blessed to have had many wonderful experiences working with colleges and community groups over the past two years. Working with Donna and her team provides another great example of how to put together a successful series of events that will hopefully move people to action. You can view photos from my two days in Kalamazoo here.
The SMBHS partnered with the Fetzer Institute, the Kalamazoo Race Exhibit Initiative, and many volunteers to plan several different events for community members to participate in. Over the course of two days (April 8-9) I stayed quite busy.
On Thursday afternoon I met for two hours with students in an anthropology class (African Cultures in the Context of Globalization) at Kalamazoo College to discuss my 2001 journey to Ghana that led to my writing Inheriting the Trade and some of the images and assumptions I had about Africa that were dismantled during that process. We also discussed the effects of the slave trade on Africa as I have come to understand them through my journey and subsequent research.
The Little Theater at Western Michigan University (WMU) was packed that evening for a screening of Traces of the Trade. The discussion that followed was rich and powerful as folks shared their stories about how their own lives are impacted by race and the legacy of enslavement in the United States as well as thoughts on healing.
On Friday morning I met with several members of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Michigan regarding the work they are doing to dismantle racism in their lives and congregations. The luncheon held at The Fetzer Center at WMU sold out. Students from Phoenix High School, a highly regarded alternative school in Kalamazoo were among those in attendance at both the screening Thursday evening as well as the luncheon. We discussed Inheriting the Trade, how racism continues to impact all of us today, and more thoughts on healing and offering each other grace and respect. Each attendee received a signed copy of Inheriting the Trade. The students from Phoenix High will read it and then we will meet once again, via Skype, to discuss it. I can’t wait!
The final event was a reception for educators at the Kalamazoo YWCA at which we discussed some of the opportunities and difficulties teachers face in presenting challenging information in the classroom. I was particularly pleased that we met at the YWCA, whose mission is “eliminating racism, empowering women.”
I know one thing for certain. If the dedication and passion of the organizers transformed automatically into results then difficulties arising from racism in Kalamazoo, Michigan would be over. Of course, that is not the case. It will take continued commitment from the good folks who organized these events, people who attended, and those whose lives will be touched as a result.
Here are a few things I hope will result from our work together last week:
- Many new people will join Southwest Michigan Black Heritage Society (here’s a link to the membership form)
- New partnerships will form among natural allies in this work from schools, churches, and the community at large.
- More people will know about the Race Exhibit and check it out when it arrives. For those of you who live somewhere other than Michigan, here’s the link to the schedule of all the museums around the country at which the exhibit will visit over the next few years. From the website:
RACE: Are we so Different? is a powerful, thought-provoking family exhibit which uses history, science and lived experience, to explore human variation and reveal the reality – and unreality – of race. Through film, still photography, interactive components and programming, the exhibit invites us to explore race as well as the impact of race as an economic, political and cultural construct.
I love meeting with folks around the country. I hope that the stories of our family journey, the film and book, will inspire many people to take action in their own lives and communities to undo racism and other forms of oppression. Whenever I return home from a trip such as this recent one to Kalamazoo I realize that people will either shift the way they walk in the world in some important ways–or–watch the powerful events of last week fade into a dot on their life’s road map.
I hope many folks in Kalamazoo choose the former.

The pinnacle ten myths about Myrtle Beach golf. We speak surcharges, golfing carts, no suggests, overbooking and other aspects of Myrtle Beach Golf.
1- Some Myrtle Beach golf publications make the package deal companies upload a SURCHARGE to your Myrtle Beach Golf Package to play their course.
No, this not exactly correct.
The first Myrtle Beach Golf Packages were given started within the late 1960’s. For the first couple of years, there had been only a handful of golf courses to be had for the programs. The price to play golfing become approximately the identical at every of those golf guides. The inns just created a average price for golfing and blanketed all of the these courses in their programs. They knew the golf fee might common itself out over the year.
As Myrtle Beach Golf were given extra famous, better golfing publications were being built. These more moderen golf courses have been greater high priced to built and to maintain. They symulator golfa w Warszawie had to price extra to play those new direction. The golfers liked these new guides. They began to request the newer and greater costly golfing publications. If you can get a brand new Chevrolet or a new Cadillac and the dealer changed into going to price you the identical price, which could you’re taking? The average golf value got out of balance. The bundle companies did no longer need to move up on their golfing applications price. So they saved the primary package deal value the same, but restrained your preference of publications. If you desired to play the greater highly-priced guides, they simply delivered the difference within the green fee value to your package. That is the so known as SURCHARGE.
2- Myrtle Beach Golf Courses have mandatory golfing cart usage to speed up play.
No, this isn’t always actual.
Economics changed into the cause for mandatory golf carts. As the Myrtle Beach golfing publications have become busier, maximum visiting bundle golfers had been wanting to make use of the golf carts. There had been days while the publications could have more golfers wanting to hire the carts, than carts to be had. This created angry customers.
The golf guides discovered the maximum number of carts they wanted for a complete day and everybody desired to ride. That became the quantity that they saved available. They needed to pay hire on those carts whether or not they were used or now not. Since the general public wanted to lease the golfing carts, they decided to make all and sundry ride, MANDATORY CARTS.
Three- Myrtle Beach Golf Courses rate for no display, to make you play while you do not want to play.
No, that isn’t genuine.
The golfing guides do not price you for no longer playing the spherical. They fee you for the tee time. The tee times are assured tee instances. The golfing route has the same opinion to will let you tee off at a specific time. You comply with be there ready to play at a selected time. For this get entry to you pay them a agreed upon quantity. You are agreeable to this association, due to the fact this assured tee time allows you to make you golf excursion plans properly earlier. You aren’t looking for somewhere to play at the remaining minute. The golfing course is enjoyable to this arrangement, due to the fact they understand how many golfers they may be going to have in advance. They could make the essential preparations to make matters go as smooth as viable. Most publications will give money back or rain test, if play is disillusioned by foul climate. Do now not anticipate any kind of compensation in case you partied to a lot and couldn’t get out of bed.
4- Myrtle Beach golfing guides deliberately overbook their tee sheets.
No, this isn’t always actual.
Myrtle Beach golf guides have set tee instances. Usually they double tee, which means they begin concurrently off # 1 and # 10 tees. Typically, there are 17 tee time available, inside the morning, from 7:30 via 9:38 at 8 minute periods. They then close the tees to new golfers to permit the golfers that commenced on #1 to crossover to # 10 and those that began on #10 to crossover to # 1. The first golfers off of each facet are anticipated to turn and be ready to start on the opposite aspect at nine:46 (2 hours and sixteen mins. A foursome need to come off of # nine and # 18 every 8 minutes. The afternoon rounds runs from 12:00 to 2:08. A round of golfing is scheduled take 4 and half hours no longer a lot less, with any luck no longer a good deal longer.
5- It took me six hours to play a spherical at Unnamed Golf Course in Myrtle Beach.
No, this is probably now not actual.
From the scheduled tee times above, you’ll see that an excellent spherical in Myrtle Beach takes 4 and half of hours to finish. This won’t continually be the case. There have been instances while a spherical takes 5 hours to play and even 5 plus hour rounds had been recorded in a few extreme state of affairs.
The Myrtle Beach golf publications set their tee instances sheets up twelve months in advance for package carriers to promote. They haven’t any concept of what the climate conditions are going to be while the day absolutely arrives. They are going to promote the tee times watching for perfect climate conditions.
The most dreaded conditions for the golf course is rain / moist fairways. The golfing carts can not go out onto the fairways. The golf carts must stay at the paved cart paths. They would simply to do plenty damage to the turf. Having to restrict the golfing carts to the trails provides half-hour to a round of golfing. The Pro Shops hates having to preserve the carts on the paths. But, however, the golfing direction could be closed, if it did now not have cart paths the whole duration of the path. Golfers on package would leave out an afternoon of play, the golfing publications could leave out an afternoon of sales. What could you men favor to do? Sit in the resort all day or spend a further thirty minutes in the easy fresh air of Myrtle Beach gambling golfing and getting a few wanted taking walks exercising.
There are some publications that set their tee time sheets with 18 or 19 tee time slots. These publications are the strange and should be prevented, until they make the price really worth the more time it takes to play.

To understand what these useful tools consist of, we will start by talking about thermography.
The technique known as infrared thermographyis the one that allows to visualize the temperature of any surface, with high precision and without having contact with said surface. Is temperature measurement It is possible, thanks to the measurement of radiation emanating from the infrared section of the electromagnetic spectrum of the evaluated surface, these measurements are then converted into electrical signals.
The human eye cannot capture the infrared radiation of an object or surface, and this is where the thermal imaging camerasalso known as thermovision. These cameras have infrared sensors, which allow to capture and measure the radiant energy of objects and surfaces, thus determining the temperature of these elements. The thermographic camera takes the radiation and generates a spectrum of colors, each color represents a different temperature, based on a scale. For example, the highest temperature is represented by the color white.
The use of the thermal imager is very simple, it can even be used by inexperienced personnel. You just have to point or focus the camera at the object or surface to be evaluated, and automatically the temperature reading will appear on the screen of the tool. The measurement is carried out without the need to have contact with the element to be measured and in real time.
Thermal Imager Features
The field of implementation of thermal imaging cameras is wide, it goes beyond just measuring the temperature of objects. It is implemented in industrial, construction, security, manufacturing areas, among others.
Predictive and preventive maintenanceThermal imaging cameras allow detecting faults or defects that are not visible to the human, with which maintenance or repair can be carried out in a timely manner, avoiding economic losses. Some of the faults that can be detected are:
In the electricity area:
- Presence of rust on the high voltage switches.
- Poorly established or faulty electrical connections.

All these problems, among others, can be detected with the using the thermal imager. Not only does it avoid wasting money by preventing problems or failures from being magnified, but it also helps to maintain an acceptable level of health for people, by detecting problems such as humidity in buildings. The implementation of this tool during inspections, in any area or scope is essential.
Fire preventionThe fact that thermographic cameras measure temperature is a great advantage that can be used to determine possible sources of fires and avoid their occurrence in any area.
Low visibility environmentsIn some areas where visibility is almost nil, the use of thermal imaging cameras makes work easier. In environments such as tunnels, supply stations, warehouses, basements, galleries and others, the corresponding maintenance and inspection must also be carried out, and for these cases the measuring instrument is an excellent ally.
SecurityIn some military or police security activities, the visibility provided by thermal imaging cameras is very important. The cameras are generally implemented in cases in which visibility is little or no or when camouflage must be faced. The functions of the thermal imaging camera are also used for extreme cases of coastal surveillance and border surveillance.
Other fields in which the use of thermal imaging cameras is implemented is the field of motor design and manufacturing, silicon plate design, food industry, pharmaceutical industry, wind energy, solar energy, medical diagnosis, veterinary diagnosis, among others.

But you still can choose a video slot and spin it for fun in free mode.
Casino Rocket offers its players one of the most generous bonuses we have ever seen. Each newcomer after registration receives up to 1500 USD + 150 Free Spins. But this is speaking in general. But the Welcome package of Casino Rocket consists of two parts:

The selection of slots is as great as in large casinos like Play Fortuna or BitStarz. But at the same time, Casino Rocket is still a medium-sized casino which means more attention to each player.
In addition, there is something to cheer you up. For example, play roulette online or play blackjack.

Even though most PC gamers are not bothered by their Steam buddies seeing the game they are playing, there are instances when users prefer playing secretly. And, they wonder how to turn off Steam notifications.
They want to enjoy their video games without being interrupted, which is essential regarding receiving alerts whenever a mate plays a video game on Steam.
It can also be frustrating to watch somebody repeatedly load the same title when you’re still doing other things. Or to have many pals “online” while using the Steam client on their pc.
In any situation with Valve, you get to choose the Steam alerts you want to get.
Here’s how to turn off alerts in the Steam client.
Why Turn Off Steam Notifications in a Game?

There are also a few other options, due to which you may want to disable notifications. For example, Steam will let you know when a friend joins.
Also, if you’re tired of receiving notifications, again and again, try turning off Steam notifications.
How to Disable Steam Notifications in a Game?
Follow the steps below to disable Steam notifications on your PC:
- On your PC, start the Steam application.
- Hit Friends in the upper left-hand side of the screen, then go to the View Friends List.
- “Friends” is almost always written in tiny letters, yet the button is always on the top right corner of the screen.
- You may modify your contact list by clicking on the gear icon.
- The gear symbol is easy to overlook, but you will always discover it in the upper-right corner of the Friends List tab.
- Select Notifications just on the top-right-hand corner of the screen.
- When the Notifications tab opens, unselect all the boxes beside each notification you don’t want to get.
You can modify your friends’ list settings from under the Friends tab.
Some Other Options You Need to Disable
Aside from Steam alerts, there are many more additional items you may turn off. You’ll find out everything about these further down.
Stop the new games and impending launch alerts via the Steam Notification options. You can locate the Steam’s preferences by going to the Settings tab under the Steam text.
Feel free to remove the option on the Interface tab that says, “I’d like to receive notifications about new releases, updates, and upcoming releases.” Then, finally, to complete, press OK. Please withdraw from that feature the very next moment you get a communication regarding your titles or new titles.
There is also a group notifications option in Steam.
How To Disable Steam Sound Notifications
Gamers don’ appreciate Steam disrupting or doing just about anything since the music of every video game is already highly irritating. The game’s backing track and noises of the player crashing and striking themselves make it difficult to enjoy, particularly for people who like to play silently.
- Insert your Steam login information in the Music tab under Steam Settings.
- Go to the Display option on the lower left-hand side. From the dropdown options, deselect the square “When a new track begins.“
It’s as simple as that. If you follow all procedures in this article, you should have blocked all Steam notifications from bothering you.
Disable Screenshot Notifications
Another piece of knowledge that might be problematic when enjoying the sport. To turn off the notification, follow the instructions beneath.
Once you’ve navigated to Steam -> Settings, tap on the In-Game again.
You may turn off both the display and sound screenshot notifications by deselecting all of the options underneath “When a screenshot is taken” on the right-hand side.
Ever since the release of the Steam app, it has gained massive popularity among most players, with just a few bad ratings in the event of notification issues.
Nevertheless, with these suggestions, you won’t have to be concerned. With these methods, you may turn off all notifications.
Also, if you ever encounter Steam issues, you may want to restart Steam, so, check this out!
This was a complete guide on how to disable steam notifications.

On that note, here are some quick tips and tricks to help you create engaging content for your assignments to help yourself to the best grades.
It is not possible to create effective and meaningful assignments without correct formatting.

The body section will include investigation results, and the assignment topic will be explored from different sides. The conclusion will wrap up all the essential information from the main body. Avoid using inappropriate fonts and colours and keep your writing within the borders.
The purpose of the assignment should be clear in your mind while framing the assignment answer. Understanding the goal will help you stay on track with the assignment topo. You will not get distracted by your main points. Your true purpose is to expose your opinion on the current assignment topic. This implies you to stay on track within your opinion explanation. Avoid including others' opinions on the topic.
No matter how insignificant it may seem, creating an effective outline should be your first move towards completing your assignment writing. An outline will serve as the skeleton of your overall writing. First, identify the assignment topic. Then, make sure to write down all the key items of the text structure in a numerical format. The next sessions should logically follow each other. Add brief explanations on each item if it’s possible for you.
There are numerous distractions like games, TV shows and social media sites. So, if you wait until the last minute for completing the assignment, delivering high-quality assignment writing will remain a far-fetched dream.

This is why English assignment help services advise students always to choose assignment topic that interests them. Choose assignments that stimulate you to conduct in–depth investigation on the assignment topic. Become the expert in the field you like if you wish to create a highly engaging assignment topic.

It gives a piece of unexpected information or a narrative twist to draw attention and stimulate readers to dive deeper into the plot. Some good examples of effective hooks include quotes, personal stories, facts, anecdotes and misconceptions.
It will be more effective when you have to say less using limited word counts. The result will be amazing if you focus on delivering good quality work instead of trying to finish it faster. You do not require writing more than necessary just to make my assignment look better. You must have heard the phrase "less is more". However, if you find it challenging to express your views in limited work, you may seek assignment help online. If you wonder, "How can my assignment get the best help service?"

There has been little previous research into the loyalty of repeat buyers on Internet markets but a new technological innovation, cryptomarkets, makes it now more possible to track transactions between vendors and their customers. However, during registration it does let you set a password recovery key. On the more expensive end of the dark web, you can find items from diplomas and passports, to even medical records.

I’ve debated a long time—as in over 12 hours—on whether or not I wanted to share my opinions on this because is such a sensitive topic, and I don’t want to do any damage to the way the WordPress developer community is perceived.
I care about our reputation and I want to have positive discussion with other developers. As someone who builds things for, blogs about, and contributes directly to the core of WordPress, I should share something.
The way I see it, I care about WordPress and software development, so I have some obligation to share my thoughts (though they are probably better suited as a blog post).
TL;DR (WordPress is not Doomed)
Generally speaking, I think that we—as in all developers—need to stop projecting what we like about one framework and saying that that’s how another framework should operate.
On Frameworks and Libraries
For the most part, frameworks and libraries are written and evolve out of a felt need that a person or a small team has recognized. It normally grows fast from there especially in the open-source community. This is a Good Thing™.
Frameworks and libraries are meant to solve a certain problem in a certain way. The problems that they are aiming to solve may not always be the same problem that another application is aiming to solve, so trying to project one framework’s approach onto another may not be fair. It really does depend on the respective problem at hand.
That said, there are general concepts that work well in the context of building web applications that can transcend libraries. Are there things WordPress can do better? Absolutely. Are there things it does amazingly well? Absolutely.
But it’s growing, changing, and maturing. What else can you expect from software? Seriously.
My Thoughts on The Dire State of WordPress
Above all else, I love when people share their opinions about their favorite piece of software. I think that James genuinely wants to see WordPress improved—don’t we all?
And his final comment confirms that:
So consider this post to be the start of a discussion about how [migrating the functional aspects of WordPress to a PHP MVC framework] can happen. I ain’t quittin’ you yet, WordPress.
With that said, I firmly agree that WordPress works fundamentally different than many of the most popular frameworks especially those that are MVC. Now, many believe that MVC is the best way to develop web applications.
Honestly, I used to do Rails prior to WordPress because MVC simply fits my mental model of how web applications should work. In fact, it’s why my boilerplates are written with, say, the
views directory and the core plugin code includes the view code.
It separates view logic from core business or API logic.
But that doesn’t mean it’s the de facto pattern for building applications, nor does it mean that other frameworks are excempt from their own issues. At the time of this writing, Rails 3.2.13 has major regressions. Is this a Dire State of Rails? I kid, I kid.
But only sort of.
To address the points in the article:
- The article is predicated on the idea that WordPress should follow MVC ideals as it’s a best practice. Though MVC is popular and has it’s advantages, it’s not the de-facto pattern. The Template Method Pattern, the Pub/Sub model, etc. all offer their own advantages.
- Yes, you could argue that there’s a mish-mash of views and data mangled together in WordPress. This is a problem, but only in so far as you’re attempting to apply one pattern’s approach to an application that doesn’t follow said pattern. I fully admit that this creates spaghetti code and a maintenance nightmare, but the thing is, we can do a better job of separating our logic. I know many plugin developers and theme developers who already do it.
- There are rules and best practices for theme development and for coding standards, but whether or not developers adhere to them is their problem – not WordPress’. You can mish-mash view and data logic together in Rails and ASP.NET MVC just as much as you can in WordPress and throw conventions out the window. I view this as more of the developer’s responsibility.
- I think that a platform’s optimization for speed of development is at least partially contingent upon a developer’s familiarity on the environment in which s/he is working. I can write a certain type of WordPress application faster than a Rails application and vice versa. It depends on the problem domain and what tool suits the solution best. If we’re getting into that discussion, then it isn’t about WordPress’ shortcomings, it’s about developer’s familiarity with other frameworks and knowing what tools are best suited for their problem at hand.
- Finally, to the documentation, I think he’s right. Luckily, we’re making a huge concerted effort to fix this. It’s simply going to take time to ship the new documentation, but we do have a time committed to it, editors behind it, and a schedule that we’re aiming for.
Overall, I think that he makes some compelling points and I applaud his desire to continue improving WordPress. At the risk of sounding cliche, it’s what we all want, right?
But I think there are some points that are more closely aligned to “I can’t seem to do [X] in WordPress the way I was able to do [X] in the [Y] framework.” And I’m not sure we need to work on merging concepts of all of our popular frameworks into a single convention or not.
I’m apt to say the latter.
What’s great for rapidly building web applications, such as in Rails, may not what’s be best suited for rapid building publishing applications, like WordPress.
I don’t claim to have all the answers. I simply want to provide a different perspective on the subject.
But I know that WordPress isn’t in dire straights. It’s in a place that’s better than it was before headed in a direction that will be better than it is today, and plugin, theme, and application developers can build tools on top of it adhering much better practices but it’s up to us to do it.
So if you made it this far, cool. I’m surprised. I’d genuinely love to know your thoughts on all of this.

Daughters Of Khaine Morathi
The Daughters of Khaine live only to serve The Bloody-Handed God, Khaine. Although, to the Daughters of Khaine he is the God of Murder and they show their devotion to him in violent ways worthy of his status as their deity. The Daughters of Khaine live in a harsh society where any sign of weakness, both physical or emotional, is viewed as a fatal flaw. Celebrations dedicated to Khaine involve more killing than most battlefields, Khaines daughters can always be found at the epicentre.
Fuelled by the social Darwinism, these deadly aelf cult devotees elevate killing to an art form and will gladly kill anyone - friend or foe - who displays vulnerability. It has been said by those who have seen these deadly warriors in action that, due to their proficiency and grace in battle, they appear to be performing a mesmerising dance of death.
Here we see the return of the dark sorceress Morathi, she is an iconic character from the Old World who will make a great centrepiece for any collector of the Daughters of Khaine. In this box, you will receive two versions of the formidable Morathi as both are needed to field her in battle as she changes form. You will start with her commanding, spellcaster and slightly weaker form and as the match progresses she shifts into a winged serpent. This being her true form, a character possessed with a terrifying rage and excellent for close combat melee attacks capable of crushing her enemies with a swing of her enormous tail.
This boxed set contains:
- 1x Morathi, High Oracle of Khaine
- 1x Morathi, The Shadow Queen
- 2x Citadel Base
- Miniatures are supplied unpainted and some assembly may be required.

Even A Weekend Visit
Jesus is coming, people have claimed
for more than two thousand years now,
but me, frankly, I really don’t think so.
I’m pretty sure he still remembers that
even after all he did to liven up
that wedding at Cana and raising Lazurus
from the dead and healing all the lepers
and cripples, we still nailed his skinny ass
to a cross and left him hanging there to die.
We mocked him with the crown of thorns,
and, hell, it hurt so fucking much
that even he had his moment of doubt
up there. And do you think he doesn’t remember
that of his disciples, his handpicked best buddies,
Judas betrayed him and Peter denied him
and Thomas doubted him? Would you show up
back here after being treated like that?
No way. I got to believe Jesus is staying put
in heaven where he belongs. God knows
he earned it. I like to think he’s hanging out
by the pool with his supermodel girlfriend
and cold German beer and fine Mexican weed
and a big fuck you smile on his face. I bet
Jesus laughs to himself every time he thinks
about Pat Robertson still on tv all the time
praying fervently for his return, then does
another bong hit and lays back down in the sun.
As much as we all hope and sure as Hell agree
that we could use even a weekend visit from him
these days to try to straighten this world out,
I can’t believe Jesus is coming back anytime soon,
and, for Christ’s sake, you really can’t blame him now,

A Few More Hours of Sunlight
We drink beer in your kitchen
and talk of the lives of dead poets
while outside the window
is the September sun
and beneath it the city streets
and the people who carry their lives
like corpses on their backs.
They wait for busses and taxis,
they wait for their tiny phones to ring
and all the lights to finally turn green,
as if they truly believed
things had any interest in being done.
Ambition is for
let’s leave them to it.
If history’s to be believed
we’ll all end up badly one day,
and what of it?
We’ve another bottle in the fridge
and a few more hours of sunlight.

I stopped by my friend Rashi’s house yesterday, but she was asleep. She still lives with her parents, and they were delighted to see me and hear news of the outside world. Honestly, I kind of got stuck talking to them for twenty minutes until Rashi woke up and we could hang out. I didn’t mind too much. I’m a millennial, and a lot of my friends still live with their parents. In fact, I’ve met many new friends, including Rashi, through their parents. By new, I mean extremely new. Rashi, for example, is five months old. Though we are decades apart in age, we have the best time. We sit down, or we walk around the room, and she stares at me with big, curious eyes and laughs at the slightest eyebrow move. She is pleasant company, with her bold fashion choices, consistent snacking and napping habits, and general lack of trying. It’s hard to describe why it’s so easy to love being around her and my other baby friends, except to say that Rashi just kind of … is.
Parents-to-be have confided in me more than once that they worry about their social lives and relationships in the early and notoriously hectic years of a child’s life. They agonize over their friendships changing and growing distant when they become a parent. They fret that they may even lose those friends in a haze of childcare and sleepless nights. I tell them what they should worry about is that I will prefer their children’s company to theirs. It’s a fair warning, you see, because that is what keeps happening. My friends create these very odd and completely charming little people that are dependably easy and fun companions. Meanwhile, the kids’ poor old parents continue to get more depleted and world-weary as life does its thing. Life’s “thing”, as you already know, is coming up with an ever-increasing number of ways to grind us all down to dust.
Many of us enjoy tiny versions of regular things. We make keyrings of the Eiffel Tower, want three sliders instead of one big tedious burger, and lose our minds for teacup pigs. Look at the gachapon vending machine boom in Japan, where people go wild for toy versions of everyday objects! I’m not saying I want a vending machine that churns out a variety of adorable babies, but I’m not saying I don’t want that either. Probably best to keep doing what I’m doing, which is borrowing other people’s children. I don’t want one for keeps, you see. That’s way too much work. Bedraggled new parents with a haunted look in their eye frequently complain that nobody told them how hard it would be to raise a child. What I think is, then how come I know? What I say is, want me to take her for an hour?
I have a work meeting on Saturday; it’s about a podcast. Perhaps that fact about me – the fact that I agreed to a work meeting on the weekend – makes you think you know the kind of person I am. A rise-and-grind, no-time-off, “wake up, beauty, it’s time to beast” kind of hustler. You’re mistaken. I am lazy to a fault, and I love that about me. The reason I’m hauling myself out of bed to meet a podcast producer at 10am on a Saturday is that said producer’s two-year-old daughter has a dance class in the park at that time, and he mentioned it to me. “Let’s chat then!” I suggested at once. “In fact,” I lied, “that’s my only window”.
The producer seemed fine with it, if a little surprised. And we will discuss a podcast idea; sure, why not? I’ve been meaning to dominate that space for a while now, and I’m curious to know what plans he has for me to unseat Joe Rogan. But actually, something a lot more enjoyable and engaging to me is watching tiny children twirling around in the leaves, making hilarious eye contact as they shake their little selves way off the beat, toppling over and getting back up again. Thank goodness for other people’s children!

Pejelagarto is a rare species of fish which is generally found in water bodies along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico (particularly throughout Tabasco). The species is most well known for having existed for 100 million years in which time it survived dramatic evolutionary changes.
Pejelagarto is traditionally fried or roasted (depending on the recipe), accompanied with different ingredients, and most often consumed as a main dish.
Pejelagarto is considered to be one of the most consumed ingredients in Tabasco and is generally served with garlic, chile sauce, tortillas, and chopped onions. For this specific recipe of Pejelagarto, the fish is first roasted and then served with green sauce. The green sauce is prepared using amashito chili leaves, Chipilín leaves, Chaya, green chilli and many other ingredients that are native to the region.
History & Cultural Significance
Pejelagarto is an endemic fish and is known to have existed for an astounding 100 million years. Its existence dates back to the Mesozoic era and as far as its consumption is concerned, pejelagarto is believed to have been eaten since the Olmecs era.
In the state of Tabasco, an area in the Chontal and Putun communities is known to be the greatest producer of Pejelagarto. This fish is considered to be a staple in local households and is also appreciated as a culinary delicacy of Tabasco cuisine. Used in a lot of traditional dishes (like pescadillas, pejelagarto asado, tamales, empanadas, and a traditional stew known as chimrol), pejelagarto is generally roasted with lime juice, salt, and chili peppers added to it. It is then folded into a tortilla and served.

On cue from our Colombian friend, we set off to explore Santa Marta. The great Gabriel García Márquez once said “The city of Santa Marta is perhaps the most domestic in the country. A city where everybody knows each other.”
Santa Marta ahead
For a casual traveler heading up along the coast, there are two Santa Martas. One is a typical resort town dotted with modern high-rises where Colombians from Medellin or Bogota are coming for a vacation.
A day on a beach under a colorful umbrella followed by a sumptuous dinner pretty much sum up the atmosphere. By night though, the Rodadero beach comes to life with music and locals enjoy walking along the water. It is a very Colombian experience and might worth staying overnight in nearby hotel.
Not to be distracted by this sun-drenched getaway, the road happily runs away to meet the Cerro Ziruma. This tree-covered mountain is worth a stop by itself. With hilltop vistas of Santa Marta Bay and Rodadero Beach, it’s a lovely break from a monotonous journey and a perfect opportunity to snap some great pictures.
Welcome to Santa Marta
Back on the road, after a few turns and twists, the final destination reveals itself. This is the heart of Santa Marta. Indeed, it certainly has seen better times. It uncannily reminds of an aging diva which you still admire and willing to excuse her extravagance.
Exploring Santa Marta on a full stomach
The best thing about Santa Marta was lunch. The scrumptious rich in flavor creamy cazuela de mariscos was an undeniable highlight of our visit to the South American oldest surviving city.
Exploring Santa Marta under the blazing afternoon sun was not fun. So, on a whim, we dived into some random eatery just because the owner waived and smiled.
The place was almost empty, and we haven’t got a clue what to expect. The owner brought a menu, and we were treated with a long animated monolog about menu choices.
At least, we thought that it was about food because his costeño accent on top of our less-than-perfect knowledge of Spanish turned his speech into a puzzle. As a side note, people from the coast (costeños) have a very distinct pronunciation and some unique expressions that set them apart from the rest of Colombians.
The famous cazuela de mariscos
Been on a water called for ordering something from the water. The cazuela de mariscos description mentioned 3 different kinds of fish, 4 different types of shellfish, plus shrimp. Yes, that was exactly what we wanted.
Even by notoriously slow Caribbean standards, it took a while for the cazuela to arrive. It almost looked like they needed to catch some ingredients first. Finally, it was in front of us: the tantalizingly deliciously smelling bubbling masterpiece of the local kitchen. It was the best seafood stew I’ve ever eaten.
Were we too hungry to judge impartially? Was it just a one-time deal? Most likely, we would never visit Santa Marta again to give the cazuela a second try. Nevertheless, the restaurant name is cariBBean (here it is on Google Maps) if someone wants to check it out.
What to do in Santa Marta
Museo del Oro
Museo del Oro is located literally 2 minutes away from our lunch place. Casa de la Aduana (Customs House) building had been thoroughly restored and transformed into a museum.
Personally, I enjoyed wandering around the building the most exploring the typical colonial architecture, inner court with a huge tree, shaded balconies overlooking the streets.
The exhibitions are educational, but not overly entertaining.
It was interesting to learn more about Simón Bolívar. Moreover, the house, where the Museo del Oro is currently located, was the place where his body was brought to before the funeral in the Santa Marta Cathedral in 1830.
Another exhibition tells the remarkably bloody and violent history of Santa Marta and surrounding region.
A brief history of Santa Marta
Santa Marta was one of the first Spanish cities founded in South America in 1525 by the Spaniard Rodrigo de Bastidas. He accompanied Columbus on his second voyage but decided to branch out on his own.
Apparently, he named the city after the Catholic day for Santa Marta because the city was founded on her day. This marked the beginning of Spanish colonization of the region.
The city became the administrative center of the colony, the maritime port with the two fortresses to protect from pirate raids. However, it did not help, and Santa Marta became a magnet for their attention. There were 26 known pirate attacks between 1543 and 1702.
For many decades, attack —> burn —> rebuild was a routine sequence of events. Both sides (pirates and locals) behaved with stubborn tenacity. Unfortunately for the city, it meant that Santa Marta simply did not have a chance to grow. Hence, the colonial part of the city is curiously small considering how old the city is.
The Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino
At this point, we ran out of time and had to go back. Despite our best efforts, we couldn’t visit the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. Built in the early 17th century, this sprawling estate was the place where the revolutionary leader spent his last days before dying from either tuberculosis or arsenic poisoning. The Quinta is al about Bolivar. On the grounds, there is a museum and a few monuments. A stroll in the Jardín Botánico after consuming so much information is a welcoming change of pace.
Santa Marta is a work in progress
In recent years Santa Marta has been busy reviving its historic center. Some parts of the old town look nicer than others. However, it’s still a work in progress.
The great location on a scenic bay had caused so many troubles in the past. Ultimately, it heavily contributed to the city’s demise. Outside of the old colonial center, it resembles other countless faceless coastal cities: shops, banks, cars, not-so-new-looking houses.
Sadly, the colonial part fails to fully impress either. Instead of been dignifiedly old, it looks simply rundown. Some buildings are abandoned or in need of repair. Pavements are tricky to navigate without been trapped in cracks and potholes.
Yes, there are a few charming colonial buildings and a couple of nicer looking short streets, but even there you can feel a whiff of decay.
Some notes after finishing exploring Santa Marta
Walking along the promenade is tough: some sketchy individuals occupy benches and quietly offer something in such indistinct voices that it sounds like a rasp of air. The homeless beggars, including very young ones, are very pushy.
Furthermore, walking around the statue of the founder of Santa Marta may require holding your breath since the smell of… ahem… urine may become overpowering.
Visiting Santa Marta is memorable and educational. However, it pays to be vigilant and project an image of authority.

Lì Per Te Rosso Veneto
2016 Lì Per Te
Medium bodied red wine
80% Corvina, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Merlot
The signature work here is done in the vineyard —the grapes are slightly-late-harvested, just starting to shrivel, delivering more concentrated aromas and flavors. The actual winemaking from that step on is all old-school traditional, with the exception of the end, allowing for additional time in both French oak and American oak barrels, then back to tank until bottling.
Why We Love It
Put the finishing touch on any Italian meal with this perfect wine pairing. Lì per te translates to “there for you”—you can count on this wine to always deliver.

Installing car seats on airplanes? Words that still cause my palms to sweat and bring on an uncontrollable urge to pop a preventative antacid tablet or two.
Yet the idea needn’t spawn nightmares for weeks leading up to your journey. Not if you can go in with a game plan.
To help, here are my five tips to help ease your way if you’ll be installing a car seat on an airplane.
1. Clear the way.
Because a car seat (or CRS as the airline folks like to call it) can be an obstacle to other passengers for routine trips to the lavatory or needing to exit in the event of an emergency, you must place it in the least obtrusive seat possible–even if you have purchased several seats in a row for your own family. So be sure to install the car seat in either a window seat or, in large body aircraft, in the middle of a center row of seats, and keep this in mind when reserving seats in advance.
2. Belt it out.
Thanks to the ease of LATCH attachments, many of us have not needed to use safety belts to buckle in our familiar car seats. But on the airplane, there will be no LATCH anchors and you will have to use the lap belt for installation. Avoid the deer-in-the-headlights moment by consulting your car seat manual in advance and practicing routing the safety belt properly through it in your vehicle first.
3. Raise your arms.
If it’s possible on your row, lift the armrests up and out of the way to help ease your installation. Armrests are usually fixed on bulkhead rows, so don’t choose these seats unless your car seat is one of the narrowest on the market (follow these links to see recommended infant car seats and convertible car seats for travel, including their widths).
4. Ask for an extension.
Not on your taxes! If you’re having trouble getting the safety belt buckled behind your car seat, ask a flight attendant for a seat belt extension, which may make it much easier to get the belt latched. Once it’s buckled, you can adjust the strap it to take out the slack.
Finally, if you have one of the more commodious, full-featured car seats for your child–perhaps one that boasts being the only car seat your child will ever need from birth through college–it will likely be more trouble than it’s worth in the airplane cabin (unfortunately FAA-approval doesn’t mean a car seat is sized for coach seats). Instead, consider leaving it at home or simply checking it at the gate. Remember, for children 1 year and older who can ride forward-facing, the CARES flight harness is an FAA-approved child safety restraint that can be used instead of a car seat during all phases of your flight (read all about the CARES harness in my review here).

Review of the FlyeBaby baby hammock for infants on airplanes – The FlyeBaby baby came out with perfect timing for me to test it out with our Travel Baby #3. The FlyeBaby (sometimes misspelled as “FlyBaby”) was featured in the SkyMall Inventor’s Corner, and as you know by the fact that you’re seeing it featured here–our results were positive.
In fact, that’s my little guy you’ll see below, using one of the first models of the FlyeBaby hammock available on one of our flights. The FlyeBaby has since been updated with a new and improved model, which includes some of my original suggestions(!), including a new, more travel-friendly fabric and enhanced harness, as shown above.
Find it online at: Amazon.com
How to use the FlyeBaby baby hammock on airplanes:
The FlyeBaby is a multi-purpose sling-like seat, with an adjustable 5-point harness and straps that help create an extra seating space for your lap-held baby on aircraft.
Be aware that it is NOT approved as a safety device, but can be used during cruising portions of your flight to help free your hands and give your infant a cozy spot to relax. As a bonus, It may also work on some other chairs for use as you travel as well (more below). Here are a couple of pictures of me installing it on a 737:
First, lower your airplane tray and secure the straps with loops and Velcro around i as shown (two vertical, one horizontal).
Now, here is the FlyeBaby with the tray table closed.
At first I had two Velcroed closures overlapping each other, and I couldn’t close the tray table. A simple adjustment fixed this, however.
The top 5 travel-friendly features of the FlyeBaby:
1) What I like most about the FlyeBaby is how it provides a great solution to an age-old dilemma for overseas travelers with infants, which is whether or not to book bulkhead seats with an airline bassinet, or to forego those busier and more public seats for quieter seats with more privacy toward the rear of the aircraft.
2) With a FlyeBaby baby hammock, you can sit anywhere you want in the aircraft with your lap-held baby (excluding emergency rows, of course), and still give your arms and back a rest, and your baby a comfy place to lounge with full eye-contact from you.
Your best position will be beside a window, however, where you won’t have to disturb your baby if someone else needs to exit your row–which will also give you the fewest disturbances from passing passengers and reading lights during flight, not to mention the most privacy for breastfeeding.
3) The FlyeBaby, as you can see, also positions your baby for much easier spoon feeding than you would be able to do with your “lap child” sitting directly on your lap.
Though the “RetroMod” fabric was so pretty, I admit I was a little hesitant to “bless it” with pureed sweet potatoes–the fabric of the new model is more forgiving.
4) The FlyeBaby is ultra-compact, lightweight, washable, and easy to bring along in its own small travel pouch.
5) The FlyeBaby may also help convert some adult chairs you encounter in your travels into baby and toddler-friendly seats, adding value and giving longevity to the product beyond your infant flying days.
With some lounge chairs that have long arm rests and seats, you can actually follow the FlyeBaby instructions to create a reclined baby seat (more details here). When your baby and young toddler are able to sit upright, you can also use it to create a 3-point harness seat for them on most kitchen or restaurant-style chairs.
The usefulness of this last point will vary greatly depending on when you travel with your child and what chairs you happen upon, so I don’t recommend it as the primary reason to buy.
If that’s your primary concern, the Leachco Sit ‘N Secure (baby seat wrap) will do the same job for babies sitting upright for less money. However, I like that this feature gives a good product for flying with babies more longevity and extra usefulness.
5 important considerations before buying the FlyeBaby:
1) Note that my “big boy” was 8.5 months old in the photos above, and at 28.5″ he was already above the recommended height level for airplane use as shown on the Flye Baby Hammock itself.
Nevertheless, we still liked it and, as you can see, he had a great time playing with me while “hanging out” in his hammock. Face-to-face contact can be such a help when flying with a baby!
2) Since he was so tall, however, when our forward neighbor decided to fully recline his seat, it did cramp his space. I could tell that with a smaller baby, say 6 months or younger or equivalent length, it didn’t look like it would have been a problem with the seat reclined.
Be aware that aircraft can vary widely in how much leg room is available between rows, even between two models of a 737, for example. Your results on one airplane may be quite different from the next. For this reason, I recommend buying FlyeBaby for infants through 6 months on average, and consider any additional use you get beyond that as gravy.
3) Keep in mind that the FlyeBaby is a travel solution for flying with a lap-held infant, but it does not provide the equivalent safety of a car seat (CRS). It’s also not considered a safety device or child restraint.
Though with that said, I was impressed by how, with the three straps affixed to the tray in front of me, combined with the strap fastened around my waist and the harness over my child, I felt like my baby was more secure in the FlyeBaby than he would have been riding on my lap alone and in my arms. I did have to take him out of it for breastfeeding, however.
4) Like the Baby B’Air flight safety vest, which protects against turbulence during the cruise portion of flights (more in Car Seat Alternatives), the FlyeBaby baby hammock is not FAA-approved for use during take-off, landing, or taxiing segments of your flight. In other words, you’ll have to take that snoozing (we’ll hope) baby back out before you land.
5) Final point: Even with the FlyeBaby, you will still have your child at least partly on your lap. For short flights this may be irrelevant. For long-haul international flights with meal service, this may pose the usual problem of where to set your meal tray while you dine.
For more considerations about flying overseas with a baby, using airline bassinets (and not), flying with a lap child, and using a car seat on air craft, don’t miss the nuggets of wisdom on all of the above in Part 5 of Travels with Baby.

Despite the allure of slot games, there are some things to remember before you start playing them. One of the most common pitfalls is getting greedy and betting more than you can afford. As a result, playing slots can quickly turn into an unpleasant experience. To avoid this, learn a few tricks and strategies, as well as the rules of the game.
Tricks to avoid pitfalls
Slot developers use several tricks to entice players into playing their machines. They use flashing lights, graphics, and sound effects to keep players immersed in the game. These tricks make slots more appealing to players and help casinos sell more machines. They also keep players addicted to their games and encourage them to play faster.
One of the most important tricks for slot players is to avoid common mistakes. Many players make mistakes that lead to losing their games. For instance, they tend to play slot machines with low return on investment (RTP) rates, which often results in losing bets.
Online slots are very similar to their offline counterparts. In both types, players spin the wheel in order to produce a winning combination of symbols. The rarer a symbol is, the higher the win will be. However, there are some important differences between online and offline slots. This article will outline the basic rules of slot games.
The first thing to know about slots is the rules for symbols. Low value symbols pay out only when they appear on a winning line. The symbols in slot games vary, but generally playing machines contain fruit symbols, playing card symbols, and suit names. It is essential to learn about the symbols in order to maximize your chances of winning.
When it comes to casino games, there are several variations of slot games available. The classic three-reel slot is a traditional slot game. Most casinos offer this type of game. One of the most popular versions of slot games is the progressive jackpot slot. This type of slot is a favorite among high rollers who want to win millions of dollars. To play a progressive slot, you must place the maximum bet. The accumulative jackpot increases with every spin.
Another way to play the slot game is by using the multi-resonator technique. By doing this, you will get a broader bandwidth than with the single-resonator version. Alternatively, you can also use a gap-coupled variation with a shorted patch. Both of these configurations will provide better cross-polar levels and broader bandwidth. As a result, you will have more chances of winning big.
Slot bonus events are special game features that allow you to win free credits or prizes whenever a particular combination of symbols appears on a payline. These events can be simple or complex, and require very little skill or knowledge to activate. Here are some tips that will help you get the most out of this feature. Once you know what to look for, you can enjoy the excitement of winning free credits or prizes!
One of the easiest types of slot bonus events to implement is a one-pick bonus. For example, in a slot game based on African wildlife, a player can choose from a lion, elephant, or hippopotamus. A random number generator will scatter the awards, which are usually twenty-five or fifty credits. In some cases, multiple animals can be chosen, doubling the payout.

There are a lot of different onboard chargers on the market these days. If you’re looking for one to power your electric fishing boat, you have two main choices: Minn Kota Precision Vs Digital.
So, which is the right one for you? In this article, we’ll compare and contrast these two types of chargers, so you can make an informed decision.
What are Onboard chargers?
Onboard chargers are devices that charge the batteries on your electric fishing boat. They plug into the mains power supply and use it to recharge the batteries.
Minn Kota Precision onboard chargers are designed for boats with 24-volt trolling motors.
They also feature an LED interface that shows you exactly how much charge is left in your batteries.

This results in up to 30% faster charging than other onboard chargers.
The Minn Kota Precision charger is also much more efficient than older models, meaning less wasted energy and lower operating costs. It’s so efficient that it saves you money over time!
On the downside, the Minn Kota Precision charger can be quite expensive. But if you’re looking for the very best in terms of charging performance, it’s definitely worth the investment.
The MK Precision Can Charge Gel Batteries
Gel batteries are becoming increasingly popular in the boating world, and for good reason. They’re more durable and require less maintenance than traditional lead-acid batteries.
The Minn Kota Precision charger is one of the few onboard chargers that can charge gel batteries. This is a big advantage if you’re looking for an onboard charger that can handle all types of batteries.
But if you need an onboard charger that can charge all types of batteries, it’s definitely worth the investment.
Minn Kota Precision chargers are one of the top options when it comes to choosing an onboard charger for your electric fishing boat. They offer fast charging times and high efficiency.
What You Should Know Before Buying a Trolling Motor Battery Charger
When you’re looking at the Minn Kota Precision charger vs. the Minn Kota Digital, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First, consider what kind of trolling motor battery you have.
If you have a lead-acid battery, you’ll want to get a charger that is specifically designed for that type of battery. On the other hand, if you have a lithium-ion battery, you can use either type of charger.
Another thing to keep in mind is how many amps your charger needs to be. The Minn Kota Digital chargers range from 12 amps up to 36 amps, while the Minn Kota Precision chargers start at 30 amps and go up to 75 amps.
Finally, consider what features are important to you. The Minn Kota Precision chargers have a few more bells and whistles than the Minn Kota Digital chargers, like an LED readout that shows you how much charge is left in your battery. But the Minn Kota Digital chargers are a bit cheaper, so it depends on your budget and what you’re looking for in a charger.
Onboard or Portable?
The first decision you need to make when shopping for an onboard charger is whether you want a portable or permanently mounted unit.
If you plan on using your charger primarily at home, and only occasionally taking it out on the road, a permanently mounted unit will be the better option. These chargers are typically more affordable, and they’re also easier to install. You can simply bolt them down to the deck of your boat and forget about them.
However, if you want the flexibility to use your charger at different lakes or marinas, a portable unit will be a better choice. These units are usually more expensive than their permanently mounted counterparts, but they offer much more versatility.
Smart vs Manual Battery Chargers
If you want the benefits of a smart charger and don’t mind paying a little extra, go with the Minn Kota Precision. If you’re on a budget and don’t need all the bells and whistles, go with the Minn Kota Digital. Whichever one you choose, you’ll be getting a great onboard charger for your electric fishing boat.
Battery Types and Charger Compatibility
The Minn Kota Onboard Chargers can be used with three different types of batteries; Lead-Acid, Gel Cell, and AGM. Each type of battery has its own set of charging characteristics that the Minn Kota Onboard Charger is designed to work with.
Lead-acid batteries are the most common type of battery used in marine applications. They are typically less expensive than other types of batteries but require more maintenance.
Gel cell and AGM batteries are newer technologies that require less maintenance than lead-acid batteries, but they are typically more expensive.
The Minn Kota Precision Onboard Charger is compatible with all three types of batteries. However, if you have a gel cell or AGM battery, you will need to purchase the optional Battery Temperature Sensor (part number 1852206).
Number of Batteries and System Voltage
The Minn Kota Digital onboard charger is designed for boats with two batteries and a 12-volt system. The Minn Kota Precision onboard charger, on the other hand, can be used on boats with up to four batteries and a 24-volt system.
However, if you have a boat with only two batteries and no plans to upgrade to a 24-volt system, the Minn Kota Digital onboard charger will suffice.
Pick the Correct Charger Size
The Minn Kota Onboard Charger is available in three sizes: the MK 330 PC, MK 440 PC, and the larger MK 460 PC. Choose the charger that provides the right amount of power for your electric fishing boat.
To get an idea of which size you need, consider these two things:
- the size of your battery
- the average time you spend on the water
If you have a small battery and only fish for a few hours at a time, then the MK 330 PC would be sufficient. If you have a larger battery or spend more time on the water, then you would need to move up to either the MK 440 PC or the MK 460 PC.
Minn Kota’s onboard chargers are the perfect way to keep your electric fishing boat batteries charged and ready to go. With precision charging and a digital display, you can be sure that your batteries will last all day long. And with the automatic shutoff feature, you won’t have to worry about overcharging your batteries
- Precision Charging: Minn Kota’s precision charging technology delivers a full day of fishing with fewer stops to recharge. That means more time on the water, and less time waiting for your batteries to charge.
- Digital Display: Minn Kota’s digital display provides an easy way to see how much power is left in your batteries, so you can make sure you have enough juice to get through the day.
- Automatic Shutoff: Minn Kota’s automatic shutoff feature protects your batteries from overcharging, so you can rest assured that they’ll be ready to go when you are.
The Minn Kota precision is a smart charger that can charge up to four batteries at once. It has a built-in microprocessor that automatically adjusts the charging rate to match the battery’s needs, so you’ll never overcharge your batteries. The Minn Kota precision also features an LED display that shows you the charging status of each battery.
The Minn Kota digital is a basic onboard charger that can charge two batteries at once. It doesn’t have any fancy features like the Minn Kota precision, but it will get the job done. The Minn Kota digital also has an LED display that shows you the charging status of each battery.
Both the Minn Kota Precision and Digital onboard chargers are great options for electric fishing boats. If you’re looking for a smart charger with all the bells and whistles, go with the Minn Kota Precision. If you’re on a budget and just need a basic charger, go with the Minn Kota Digital. Whichever one you choose; you’ll be getting a great onboard charger.

This is my sunny day car, it has only seen rain 2 times since I have owned it and that was on the Woodward cruise both times.
This is a numbers matching L79 engine (which ran strong when removed), transmission, and 3.55 position rear end. The car is all muscle, no power steering or brakes. The car drives and steers nice, easy without power steering.
The options include tinted windows, original AM FM radio, 4 wheel disc brakes, tinted glass ( all original ), T3 headlights with original bright lights.
The L79 intake, carburetor and alternator are on the current engine in the car 355 cu. in. Engine. New in 2007.

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) provides zero waste training information for all staff, accessible anytime and anywhere via online and on-site. Both the employees and the housekeeping team have an important role to observe and monitor separated wastes, especially, the housekeeper who is responsible for monitoring and correcting all the waste separation. When contaminated waste has been observed in any waste station, most of the waste will be removed, cleaned, washed, and dried. Additionally, SET also reports waste quantity to all employees every week and carry out a waste audit on a daily basis to ensure that waste is separated appropriately. Moreover, when there is a waste audit by the building management in each waste station, office staff or contractors have been invited to be part of the waste audit process. The waste audit will be processed again in that month if the contaminated waste has been found.
Various tactics for waste reduction have been implemented, such as zero foam campaign, clean & minimal desk campaign, double-sided printer setting, paperless program to reduce paper usage, etc. All organic wastes including food waste and fallen leaves have been digested and used as soilless mix and fertilizer.
SET embeds the environment, social and governance (ESG) principle in the operations in accordance with the vision “To Make the Capital Market ‘Work’ for Everyone”.
SET has achieved zero waste-to-landfill since 2020 by implementing the 3Rs (Reduce-Reuse-Recycle) principle. Moreover, SET has also enhanced cooperation with partners; applied innovations and technologies for resource management; and promoted procurement processes with focus on eco-friendly trading partners, products and services.
In the latest development, the SET Building received the 2022 TRUE certification for resource efficiency, demonstrating the synergy of the whole SET personnel, the top-down approach, from the levels of policymakers to staff members to collaboratively make the most efficient and the best use of resources.
The certifications are for the buildings that make the most efficient use of resources under their roofs and throughout the supply chain in accordance with the circular economy model. Criteria for the certifications cover all kinds of waste, cooperation with business partners to improve packaging, product take-back programs, packaging recycling and value added via upcycling.
Other factors behind the certifications are clear policies and participation by executives and staff members. SET’s employees and business partners of the SET Building have been trained on zero waste and taken part in relevant initiatives. Moreover, the carbon dioxide emitted from waste management of the SET Building are calculated throughout its supply chain.

NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Neuro refers to your neurology, how your brain is wired. Linguistic refers to language, the words and pictures associated. Programming refers to how that neural language functions, the habits and way your brain experiences the world around you.
In other words, learning NLP is like learning the language of your own mind!
Let’s make this simpler with an example.
Have you ever tried to communicate with someone who didn’t speak your language, and they couldn’t understand you? The classic example of this is when someone goes out to a restaurant in a Foreign country and they think they ordered steak, but when the food shows up, it turns out they actually asked for a boiled sausage.
This is the kind of relationship that most of us have with our own unconscious mind. We might think we are “ordering up” more money, a happy, healthy relationship, peace with our family members, and being able to stick to a healthy diet… but unless that’s what shows up, then something is probably getting lost in translation.
In NLP, we have a saying: the conscious mind is the goal setter, and the unconscious mind is the goal-getter. Your unconscious mind is not out to get you – rather, it’s out TO GET FOR YOU whatever you want in life. However, if you don’t know how to communicate what you want properly, it will keep bringing steaming bowls of boiled sausage out of the kitchen.
In fact, go ahead right now and think of, if there was one thing you could change, one habit you could break, what would it be?
Using a sophisticated combination of NLP, reflexology & touch therapy, I can help you change and re-wire your unconscious mindset
- Would you remain calm during work presentations?
- Stop procrastinating and thinking about things and actually get on and do them.
- Stop spending so much time on your phone/social media?
- Not devour a whole bag of crisps or tub of ice cream in one sitting?
Whatever it is, realise that your unconscious mind only does that because it thinks that’s what you want. (“Sir, here is your procrastination along with a side of anxiety. I’ve also told the valet to bring up your emotional baggage as per your request. Will you be needing anything else?”)
Neuro-Linguistic Programming is like a user’s manual for the brain and experiencing NLP is like learning how to become fluent in the language of your mind so that the ever-so-helpful “server” that is your unconscious will finally understand what you actually want out of life. It also helps you understand the language of other peoples minds so that you can improve communication, which is particularly helpful in relationships with partners, family, friends or colleagues.
Psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists discovered and developed NLP in the 1970s and it has grown from strength to strength since then. The combination with reflexology allows you to make changes to your lifestyle and mindset effortlessly.

My Shapeshifting JourneySamir Chopra
with a Foreword by Mukul Kesavan
Samir Chopra is an immigrant, a “voluntary exile,” who discovers he can tell the story of his life through cricket, a game that has long been an influence—really, an obsession—for him. In so doing, he reveals how his changing views on the sport mirror his journey of self-discovery. In The Evolution of a Cricket Fan, Chopra is thus able to reflect on his changing perceptions of self, and of the nations and cultures that have shaped his identity, politics, displacement, and fandom.
Chopra’s passion for the sport began as a child, when he rooted for Pakistan and against his native India. When he migrated, he became a fan of the Indian team that gave him a sense of home among the various cultures he encountered in North America and Australia. This “shapeshifting” exposes the rift between the Old and the New world, which Chopra acknowledges is “cricket’s greatest modern crisis.” But it also illuminates the identity dilemmas of post-colonial immigrants in the Indian diaspora.
Chopra’s thoughts about the sport and its global influence are not those of a player. He provides access to the inner world of the global cricket fan navigating the world that colonial empire wrought and that cricket continues to connect and animate. He observes that the Indian cricket team carries many burdens—not only must they win cricket matches, but their style of play must generate a pride that assuages generations of wounds inflicted by history. And Chopra must navigate where he stands in that history.
The Evolution of a Cricket Fan shows Chopra’s own wins and losses as his life takes new directions and his fandom changes allegiances.
“Samir Chopra is one of cricket’s most distinctive voices. His work is a unique weave of close analysis, broad perspective, and unflinching self-inquiry. He provides himself as a case study of the relationships that fans form with cricket, which are far more ambivalent and volatile than is commonly imagined. He reconnects with that most intimately mysterious of personages: ourselves when young. Everything Samir writes is worth reading, but The Evolution of a Cricket Fan is especially so, because the sentiments he elucidates are genuinely universal.”
— GIDEON HAIGH, author of On Warne and Mystery Spinner: The Life and Death of an Extraordinary Cricketer
“This is not the story of the average cricket fan—thank God for that—but anyone who has been consigned by defeat into day-darkening depression or transported by victory to a hallucinogenic high will read this book grinning or grimacing with recognition. Cricket’s literature is rich with magisterial histories; it now has a wonderful, maverick, coming-of-age story that lives and breathes the game.”
—From the Foreword by MUKUL KESAVAN
As an international cultural activity for athleticism, spectatorship, and global cultural exchange, sport is unmatched by any other force on earth. And yet it remains a consistently understudied dimension of history and cultural studies. Sporting, edited by Amy Bass, aims to contribute to the study of sport by publishing works by people across a range of disciplines, by professional sportswriters, and by athletes to add substance to our still emerging notion of globalization.

It’s official! Rick Hudson (TSA President) and Scott Davis (TSA Executive Director) traveled to South Carolina on Monday, January 21, to sign the papers and officially purchase the Turtle Survival Center.
To achieve our goal of zero turtle extinctions, we have long recognized the need for a dedicated center to build up robust captive populations of species that are critically endangered and that face an uncertain future in the wild. With the purchase of the Turtle Survival Center (TSC), we are on the verge of something truly transformational for the TSA and believe that in a short time the TSC will help guarantee the survival of a number of high priority species.
There are still opportunities to support this exciting initiative, as we move forward with renovation and daily operations of the facility.

A sportsbook is a place where you can make bets on different types of sporting events. These bets can be placed on individual games, groups of teams or entire leagues. The result of a bet is determined by the outcome of the event and how much money the bettor stands to win. The winnings are based on the odds that the sportsbook provides. Sports betting is becoming increasingly popular in the United States and is now legal in most states.
A good sportsbook offers a wide variety of betting options, such as spread bets, total bets and moneyline bets. In addition, it should have a variety of betting markets and offer multiple payment methods. It is also important to have a good security system in place. If a sportsbook does not have this, it can lose customers quickly.
The registration and verification process should be easy for users to complete. The platform should allow users to attach documents without any hassle, and it should store them securely. It should also offer a number of ways to contact customer service, including email and phone.
To ensure that your sportsbook is profitable, it is important to comply with the laws of your jurisdiction. There are many bodies that regulate gambling across the US, and you should consult with a lawyer to understand the laws in your state. This will help you avoid any legal issues down the road.
One of the biggest mistakes that sportsbook owners make is failing to consider the needs of their customers. They often overlook the fact that their customers want to be able to bet on a wide range of sporting events. They also expect fast transaction speeds and minimal transaction charges. Moreover, they do not want to have to deal with long wait times for customer support.
A great sportsbook will offer a user-friendly mobile application that allows players to wager from anywhere in the world. It will also have a variety of betting options, such as futures and prop bets. It will also have a robust live streaming feature and provide players with access to detailed analytics data.
In addition to offering a wide selection of bets, the sportsbook should also offer the best odds available. This will allow users to make informed decisions about which bets to place. In addition, the sportsbook should be licensed and regulated by a reputable gambling authority.
The rise of online gambling has been nothing short of remarkable in the United States. From being banned in most states a few years ago to being fully legalized in many, the growth of the industry has been phenomenal. This growth has been fueled by the legalization of sports betting, which is expected to grow even further this year. It is estimated that 18% of American adults will make a bet this year, with the majority of those bets being placed through legal channels. This represents a huge shift in the culture of sports in America, where betting has become an integral part of the fan experience.

Daily Basic Income News Paper wil end as of April 20, 2023
For may years we did fully use the possibilities of the paper.li news generator. But all good things come to an end. The team which supports paper.li wil end the system.
The Basic Income News Paper was started by me in 2013 when i took a subscription to the paper.li genarator to make the Daily Basic Income Paper.
Karl WIderquist was composing a BINEWS newsletter before 2013 and was collection links and articles for this emailed newsletter. When i came in contact with him on a General Assembley of the BIEN, i pointed him to the possiblity of the generator. In 2014 we combined both our resorces to feed the paper.li. In 2018 i registerd the basicincome.news domain and renamed the paper to The Daily Basic Income News Paper.
Now i have to find another way to combine the resorces and compose a look-a-like

UNCF and Lowe's Award $500,000 in Emergency Financial Aid to Support Students at 37 Historically Black Colleges and Universities
WASHINGTON—UNCF disbursed $500,000 in funding from Lowe’s last semester to its 37 member historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to award emergency student aid to financially needy graduating seniors. UNCF’s Campaign for Emergency Student Aid (CESA) is a lifeline for UNCF-supported HBCU students with unanticipated needs or special circumstances such as the loss of a parent’s job. More than 200 seniors received aid, allowing them to stay in school and on track to graduation.
Lowe’s received a UNCF Masked Award March 18 at the 2016 UNCF Charlotte Mayor’s Masked Ball for its efforts to support the work of UNCF and advance higher education.
Hosted by Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts, the ball brought together nearly 400 business, civic and education leaders to raise awareness and support for UNCF. AT&T North Carolina President Vanessa Harrison and lawyer T.J. Solomon, a partner at Gray, Layton, Kersh, Solomon, Furr & Smith, P.A., also received the UNCF Masked Award.
“UNCF is grateful for Lowe’s continued investments in UNCF’s Campaign for Emergency Student Aid,” said Dr. Michael Lomax, UNCF president and CEO. “The hundreds of students who have been able to stay in college and stay on track for graduation are the return on Lowe’s investment. They, in turn, become America’s dividends.”
For more than six years, Lowe’s has partnered with UNCF’s CESA to provide $3.75 million in just-in-time aid. Thanks to Lowe’s long-term commitment to increasing postsecondary success for students at UNCF-member schools, more than 1,500 students have been able to graduate on time.
“Lowe’s is honored to receive the UNCF Masked Ball Award and more importantly, we are honored to be able to partner with students in helping them realize their dreams of attaining a college degree,” said James Frison, community relations director at Lowe’s. “At Lowe’s we believe education is the foundation to building bright futures, inspiring leaders and stronger communities. We hope to continue making a positive and lasting difference across the nation through UNCF scholarships.”
UNCF, the nation’s largest and most effective minority education assistance organization, launched CESA in 2009 to help recession-impacted students at risk of having to interrupt their studies and delay their degrees due to unpaid tuition balances, textbooks and room and board fees. In supporting UNCF’s CESA, Lowe’s stepped up again this academic year to help students such as Chelsea Moore walk across the finish line.
“Since being awarded a scholarship, I am able to pay my spring semester off completely,” she said. “This scholarship is going to help me live out my dream of a career in communications and help me get one step closer to graduating from Bennett College.”
Amanda Roger is another recent award recipient. The first in her family to attend college, she is a graduating senior majoring in psychology at UNCF-member institution Tuskegee University.
“I am so grateful to Lowe’s for its support to complete my degree,” Roger said. “I plan to attend graduate school to earn a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and become a licensed professional counselor and later a clinical psychologist for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.”
UNCF (the United Negro College Fund) is the nation’s largest and most effective minority education organization. To serve youth, the community and the nation, UNCF supports students’ education and development through scholarships and other programs, supports and strengthens its 37 member colleges and universities, and advocates for the importance of minority education and college readiness. UNCF institutions and other historically black colleges and universities are highly effective, awarding 21 percent of African American baccalaureate degrees. UNCF administers more than 400 programs, including scholarship, internship and fellowship, mentoring, summer enrichment, and curriculum and faculty development programs. Today, UNCF supports more than 60,000 students at over 1,100 colleges and universities across the country. Its logo features the UNCF torch of leadership in education and its widely recognized motto, ‟A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”® Learn more at UNCF.org or for continuous updates and news, follow UNCF on Twitter at @UNCF.

Reports Detail Recession’s Long-term Impact on Education Funding, Warns of Repeating Mistakes
January 15, 2021
Two reports released recently by the Education Law Center seek to provide further context for elected officials and policymakers about the dire stakes at hand as school districts brace for budget cuts. The first report provides an analysis of state and local education funding following the Great Recession in 2008, while the second shows how varied the distribution of education dollars across states can be. ELC Executive Director David Sciarra says the reports provide timely insight for state and local leaders as they face difficult budget decisions and seek to deliver billions in federal COVID-19 relief funding as effectively as possible.

How to use rose quartz for affirmations to attract love?
The first important step is to ensure you know what your intentions are.

This step is important to charge and program your crystal to extract its full powers (more info in the next section).
While you recite your affirmations, make sure to hold the crystal in your receiving hand (nondominant) and focus solely on your thoughts. This will ensure the transfer of the positive energy onto the crystal.
You should carry the crystal with you throughout the day and reuse it anytime you want to have a sense of energy in you.
How to charge your rose quartz crystal for affirmations?
It is very important that you get yourself in a positive state of mind before doing so. This way, you are only transferring good vibes to your rose quartz crystal.
Before you use your crystal, expose it to the powers of nature. What I mean by that is by placing them under the moonlight (full moon is best), sun, burying them in soil, or giving them a salt bath. That’s all!
You are now ready to find affirmations to say with your rose quartz!
Best Rose Quartz Crystals For Affirmations
You can either purchase loose stones in their raw form or as polished ones. Alternatively, you can also consider getting a larger-sized rose quartz crystal to use as a beautiful display in your home.
I personally choose to use a mini energy gemstone bracelet that I get from Sivana Spirit.
They are highly regarded for producing excellent products and I will always recommend them to my close ones.
They are so beautifully made and they are top quality. I have lost count of the number of times friends and family asked about them.
And I really like that these bracelets are created with specific purposes in mind, such as the 7 Gemstone Chakra Pack, Psychic Energy Pack, and my personal favorite, the Protection from Negativity and EMF pack.
The prices are pretty unbelievable too for the top-notch quality and lovely designs they offer. Small investment, big returns!

How Unions Can Help Educate By Promoting Labor History
The future of labor unions is tenable not only because of political efforts to suppress them, but also because of pedagogical oppression. American schools are not teaching students about labor unions and their fight against economic injustice.
“Both of my parents were in unions, but honestly, I don’t know much about them,” says Robin White Goode, education editor at Black Enterprise. “My indifference could be attributable to what I learned in school about their significance in American history and to workers’ rights—which was nothing.”
Sadly, Goode’s story is not uncommon. Ask any young American what they know about labor unions, and you will likely get the same response. This points to a serious issue in the American school system, which tends to ignore the labor movement’s role in American history.
And because of that lack of inclusion, the next generation of workers has no clue what unions are and how the unions can help them when they enter the workforce. For unions, this ignorance means an uphill battle to engage with them and encourage them to support and join unions.
To pre-empt such problems, unions must fight to get the true history of the labor movement included in the classrooms.
American Textbooks Distort and Ignore the History of Labor
Students are unlikely to learn the truth about labor and unions from traditional textbooks. This is the conclusion of a (still very relevant) 2011 study sponsored by the Albert Shanker Institute in cooperation with the American Labor Studies Center of the four most prominent US history textbooks.
In “American Labor and U.S. History Textbooks: How Labor’s Story Is Distorted in High School History Textbooks,” the authors note that if labor issues are included at all, the textbooks revise their histories by:
- Implicitly and explicitly representing labor organizing and disputes as inherently violent.
- Ignoring the role of organized labor in winning social protections, such as child labor laws, social security and Medicare.
- Overlooking the role that organized labor played in the civil rights movement.
- Paying little attention to unionism after the 1950s, ignoring the rise of public sector unionization.
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), says the report “explains why so few Americans know much about labor’s history and contributions.” She says that labor’s role in US history is “misrepresented, downplayed or ignored.”
Weingarten’s point is as true today as it was when the report came out. American education materials do a disservice not only to unions, but to the students who will one day be a part of the workforce. Those students are not receiving a fair and accurate accounting of American labor history and the role of unions. They enter the workforce without understanding what unions are and how organized labor can help them secure the best possible working conditions.
This is likely one of the reasons why there are still significantly more older people in unions than younger. A Bureau of Labor Statistics report on changes in union membership for 2017 shows that about 7.7 percent of workers 16–34 were members of a union, compared with 12.6 percent of workers age 35 and older. Though the same report shows growth from younger workers, the gap is still significant.
Unions and their allies can help future workers learn more about organized labor by working together to advocate for the inclusion of labor’s history in school children’s’ education.
How Unions Can Help Overcome This Neglect
If unions don’t fight against the injustices of the US education system in ignoring the history of organized labor, who will? Knowing this, unions and labor-friendly organizations have been working to see that they take their rightful place in history lessons.
Below are three tactics that can help them accomplish this goal.
1. Advocate for Inclusion in Curricula
Just as unions can win rights for workers through collective bargaining, so too can they band together to win rights for students to learn about organized labor. And they have had a couple of successes in their efforts on this front.
In 2009, then-governor of Wisconsin Jim Doyle signed the Labor History in Schools bill into law. The law required that the collective bargaining process and labor history be incorporated into the state’s social studies standards. Members of Wisconsin State AFL-CIO and the Wisconsin Labor History Society worked together to bring about the passage of this bill.
“I’m happy to sign this bill so that Wisconsin students understand how important the labor movement was in creating some of the most basic workplace rights that Wisconsin families enjoy today,” Governor Doyle said at the time.
In 2015, Connecticut approved similar legislation that required the distribution of course materials on labor history and law, collective bargaining and workplace rights. The legislation was supported by the Greater New Haven Labor History Association, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Connecticut and the Connecticut Alliance for Retired Americans (ARA), among other union allies.
AFT Connecticut Secretary-Treasurer Ed Leavy argued for the inclusion of the labor movement in history lessons. “Life as we know it today would be impossible without the contribution of organized labor,” he said. “The men and women who struggled against deplorable working conditions, bias and abuse deserved the right to be remembered.”
The passage of these bills wasn’t without difficulty, but the determined steadfastness of these groups helped win the right for school children to learn about unions.
2. Encourage and Sponsor Supplemental Labor History Curricula
The battle of the textbooks is often a long, protracted process. But there is another route that unions can take to bring students more information on organized labor: They can encourage and sponsor the use of supplemental curricula to teach students about unions.
One such approach is collective bargaining simulations. In early 2018, a simulation organized by the DePaul University Labor Education Center was held for juniors at Niles West High School in the Chicago area. For most of those students, it was the first time they were exposed to the history of unions, notes Caroline Preston, senior editor at The Hechinger Report.
Throughout the exercise, students were able to simulate negotiations on wages, social media policies, employee benefits and random drug testing. These exercises taught students not only the history of labor but also critical thinking and negotiating skills.
Jessica Cook, director of the DePaul University Labor Education Center, told the students at the end of the exercise, “If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this, it’s that it’s easier to have a voice in your working conditions when you’re together.”
Simulations like these are a great way to bring an organized labor conversation into the classroom without having to wait for an official curriculum or textbook change.
Another tool for organized labor information is the Zinn Education Project, which “promotes and supports the teaching of people’s history in classrooms across the country.” A joint effort by Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change, the Zinn Education Project offers American history curricula on workers, labor, women, social movements and more from the perspective of the people.
Unions can help get these alternative curricula into schools by engaging school districts and teachers in conversations about labor’s role in American history, as well as by sponsoring some of these materials for classes.
3. Further Educate Children at Home
Sometimes, the best educations begin at home. When efforts to make changes in school are failing, union members can be the ones to provide that education to their children at home.
That’s exactly what Belinda Moreno, trustee at Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) Local 132, is doing. She stresses to her daughters the importance of finding a union job because the union will fight for her rights. “Being a union member means unity, means solidarity, means that you have other people that are going to back you,” Moreno tells them.
When union members share their experiences and their knowledge of unions, they give their children an education that is missing from school. Their kids are learning the history and value of organized labor, lessons they will carry with them as they enter the workforce.
Raising the Next Generation of Labor Advocates
Unions are always going to be dependent on the next generation for survival, which is why it is so important they are taught early the history and value of organized labor. Those who know and understand what it means to collectively bargain for workers’ rights may be more likely to support unions when they enter the workforce. Anything unions and their allies can do to bring that part of American history to students will benefit organized labor in the long run.
UnionTrack ENGAGE can help union leaders stay organized in these efforts. With this platform, unions can communicate with members and keep them engaged in endeavors to fight for inclusion in American history lessons in school.

What is a good $20 white elephant gift?
A white elephant gift is a term used in the United States to describe a present which is generally considered to be useless or undesirable. The term derives from the legend of the white elephant, a sacred animal in some Asian countries. According to the legend, white elephants were considered extremely valuable, but were also very difficult to keep, as they required a great deal of care and expense.
So, what is a good white elephant gift? In general, anything that is humorous, quirky, or unique is likely to be well-received. Some popular choices include funny T-shirts, gag gifts, and novelty items. However, it’s important to remember that the key to a successful white elephant gift is to choose something that the recipient will not likely want to keep for themselves.
What’s a good $50 white elephant gift?
A white elephant gift is a present that is generally considered to be funny, tacky or unusual. They are often given as gag gifts or party favors.
If you are looking for a good white elephant gift, you may want to consider something funny, tacky or unusual. Something that is sure to get a laugh is always a good choice. You may also want to consider something that is practical, but not too practical. A gift that is both funny and useful can be a great option.
Finally, you may want to consider the budget you have to work with. A good white elephant gift does not have to be expensive. There are plenty of great options that are available for under $50.

What is white elephant gift?
A white elephant gift is a type of gift that is generally considered to be impractical or unnecessary. These gifts are often given as a way to get rid of unwanted items, or as a way to show appreciation to someone who has done something for you.
White elephant gifts are often humorous or quirky, and are often not something that the recipient would ever use. Some common white elephant gifts include gag gifts, souvenirs, and novelty items.
While the term ‘white elephant gift’ is often used to describe any type of impractical gift, the term actually originates from a game in which participants exchange gifts until one person has a gift that they do not want. The term ‘white elephant’ is used to describe these undesirable gifts, as they are often difficult to get rid of and tend to take up a lot of space.
What are good gift basket ideas?
When it comes to gift-giving, gift baskets are always a hit. They’re versatile, affordable, and can be tailored to fit any occasion or theme. But what are good gift basket ideas?
One option is to create a basket themed around the recipient’s favorite activity or hobby. For example, a golf enthusiast could receive a basket with golf balls, tees, and a hat, while a foodie could get a basket with a variety of gourmet foods and spices.
Another idea is to create a themed basket around a certain occasion or holiday. For example, a basket filled with Valentine’s Day candy and treats, or a Fourth of July basket with American flags, red, white, and blue candy, and tiny bottles of champagne.
If you’re not sure what the recipient’s interests are, you can always go with a food-based basket. This could include a variety of sweet and savory treats, like cookies, cakes, jams, chocolate, cheese, and cured meats.
No matter what theme you choose, be sure to include a personalized note or card to make the gift even more special.
How do you make white elephant more fun?
Do you want to make your white elephant gift exchange more fun? Here are some tips!
First, make sure everyone understands the rules. White elephant exchanges can be a bit confusing, so make sure everyone knows what to do.
Second, make sure everyone has fun gifts. You don’t want someone to end up with a gift they don’t want.
Third, make sure the gift exchange is festive. Decorate the room, put on some music, and have a good time!
Finally, be sure to have plenty of prizes. Everyone should go home with a prize, whether it’s a gift or a raffle ticket.
With these tips, your white elephant gift exchange will be more fun than ever!
What should I bring to office as a gift exchange?
The holiday season is a time for giving, and what better way to show your appreciation to your colleagues than by participating in a gift exchange? But what should you bring to office as a gift exchange?
The first thing to consider is the budget you have to work with. If you’re looking for something affordable, consider a gift card or a basket of goodies. If you want to spend a bit more, think about a nice piece of jewelry, a bottle of wine, or a gift basket filled with gourmet treats.
No matter what you choose, be sure to avoid anything that could be considered inappropriate or too personal. For example, a gift card to a strip club is probably not a good idea!
When it comes to gift wrapping, keep it simple. A nice gift bag or wrapping paper and a festive bow will do the trick.
Finally, be sure to deliver your gift before the exchange takes place. That way, your colleagues will be able to enjoy it during the holiday season.

Borescopes are specialized optical tools used in inspections and non-destructive testing of mechanical components. Sometimes referred to as a boroscope, bore scope, fiberscope, borescope camera, video borescope, or videoscope. They are frequently used to recognize defects or imperfections in diesel engines, airplane engines, helicopter engines, pumps and valves, and HVAC systems.
Modern video borescopes come with a variety of different features such as image and video recording functions, image controls, annotations, and articulating capabilities. Manufacturers try to make operating these devices as simple as possible, but users should still familiarize themselves with the steps for setting up and operating one of these devices.
Before operating a borescope, users will need to set up their device.
Insert the batteries
The first step in the setup process is to insert the batteries into your borescope. Many borescopes come packaged with a rechargeable lithium battery. Other models require AA batteries that aren’t included with the borescope.
Remove the battery compartment cover and fit the battery into the device. Ensure that the battery is fitted in the correct orientation before placing the compartment cover back onto the device.
Charging the battery
If your borescope is new, you will need to charge the rechargeable battery before it can be used. Plug the charger provided with the borescope into the device and wait for the device to be fully charged. Charging times vary between manufacturers and models, but you generally need to charge these devices for several hours to get them fully charged.
You may be able to check the charge level on the device’s status indicator, or through the LCD display once the device is powered on.
Some borescopes can be powered by an external AC adapter. These may be packaged with the unit or sold separately. Adapters can be plugged into an electrical outlet, while others can be connected using a car battery cable or a cigarette lighter cable.
Insert the SD card
Many borescopes store their images and videos on SD memory cards. Users should insert the SD card into the device’s card slot before operating the borescope. Some borescopes feature built-in memory, and do not require this step.
Connect the Probe
Lastly, you should connect the probe and cable to the device. Check that the connection is fitted properly, as this will ensure an uninterrupted video feed from the probe to the device.
Operating the Borescope
Once the initial setup is complete, you can begin operating the borescope.
Turn on the Device
Switch on the device by pressing the power button. Some devices may feature a power switch that needs to be flipped from “O” to “-”.
Your borescope display should show the battery status and the image setting it is currently in. The status of other features such as the LED light may also be displayed here.
Turning on the LED
Turn on the borescope’s LED pressing the “Light” button on the device. Some borescopes feature adjustable LEDs whose brightness can be controlled by pressing this button multiple times.
Set Your Language
If your borescope supports multiple languages, you may be able to change the language from English (default) to others. This can be done by navigating to the main menu, entering the system setting, and selecting your preferred language. Then exit the menu and continue to the next step.
Performing an Inspection
Here’s how to perform an inspection using the borescope.
Insert the Probe
Start your inspection by inserting the probe into space you wish to inspect. Ensure that the probe is the correct size, as it may not fit into spaces smaller than its diameter.
Adjust the Image
The initial image you see on the display may not be clear. You can adjust the image parameters in the image control menu in the settings. Depending on your borescope features, you may be able to adjust settings such as:
- Image Flip
You can also adjust the LED brightness to improve visibility.
Adjusting the Articulation
Many borescopes possess an articulation section near the probe tip. You can bend and adjust this tip using levers on the device itself.
Maneuvering Through Bends
If you are attempting to fit the probe through a bend in a pipe or another type of confined space, you should insert the probe with the articulation in its neutral/home position. Once the tip is close to the bend, you can adjust the articulation using the levers.
Observe the image on the display as you are making the adjustments. This will ensure that the probe is fitting along the curve or corner, and isn’t hitting any walls.
Gradually insert the probe deeper and adjust the articulation as needed. You may need to alter the articulation multiple times to ensure that the length of the problem fits through the bend properly.
Retracting the Probe
Before retracting the probe, ensure that the articulation is in its neutral/home position. Check the display and see that the probe tip does not come into contact with the walls during the retraction process. You should not pull the flexible borescope out of the inspection area too rapidly as this will ‘whip’ the borescope at the tip and possibly compromise the image sensor.
Saving Images or Recording Videos
Many borescopes feature dedicated buttons for capturing images and video. Push the button with the camera symbol to take a picture through the camera. The borescope may then ask for confirmation before saving the picture.
Similarly, users can press the button with the video camera symbol to start recording video. Press the button a second time to stop the recording process.
You can add text annotations before saving your image. Navigate to the Annotation option in the main menu and use the arrow keys to add letters or numbers to your image caption. You can then save your image with the annotations included.
Playing Back Saved Media
Users can play back their saved images and videos on the device by accessing the browser mode, and navigating through the folders it contains. After opening an image, you should have some options such as Zoom or Flip.
For videos, you can use the arrow keys rewind or fast forward. The OK button can be used to start, stop, or pause the video.
The aforementioned operating instructions should be applicable for several different borescope models. Make sure to follow these instructions properly to get the best performance from your device.

Here are a few guidelines for how to think of and do a science fair project.
Pick your topic. Get an idea of what you want to study. Ideas might come
from hobbies or problems you see that need solutions. Due to limited time and
resources, you may want to study only one or two specific events. Write down
concisely your statement of the problem and what solutions or insights are
invited by what you know and don't know about it. Consider what the solution
Research Your Topic
Go to the library or internet and learn everything you can on your topic.
Observe related events. Gather existing information on your topic. Look for
unexplained or unexpected results. Also, talk to professionals in the field,
write or email companies for specific information, and obtain or construct
Organize and Plan Your Quest
Organize everything you have learned about your topic. At this point you
should narrow your thinking by focusing on a particular idea. Your background
research should help you. Think about what you hope to prove, how you intend
to do it, what you need, what might go wrong, and where you can get help. Make
an outline of all these keys issues to guide you and be ready to adapt.
Make a Timetable
Choose a topic that not only interests you, but can be done in the amount of
time you have. Use a calendar to identify important dates. Leave time to fill
out the forms and to review your research plan with your sponsor or teacher.
Certain projects require more time because they need prior Scientific Review
Committee (SRC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. The SRC and IRB
reviews are to insure the safety of the participant and others. Allow plenty
of time to experiment and collect data—even simple experiments do not always
go as you might expect the first time, or even the second time. Also leave
time to write a paper and put together an exhibit.
Plan Your Experimental Design
Give careful thought to experimental design. Once you have a feasible project
idea, write a research plan. This plan should explain how you will do your
experiments and exactly what they will involve.
Consult Your Adult Sponsor
You are required to discuss your research plan with an Adult Sponsor and
obtain a signature of approval. In reviewing the Research Plan, your Sponsor
should determine if additional forms and/or IRB/SRC prior approval is needed.
You and your Adult Sponsor may use the forms checklist or contact USEF.
Gather Equipment & Supplies
Gather or purchase all the equipment, material, and supplies you are going to
need to conduct your experiments.
Conduct Your Experiments
During experimentation, keep detailed notes of each and every experiment in
your journal notebook, measurement and observation. Do not rely on your
memory. Remember to change only one variable at a time when experimenting, and
make sure to include control experiments in which none of the variables are
changed. Make sure you include sufficient numbers in both control and
experimental groups to be statistically valid.
Examine and Analyze Your Results
When you complete your experiments, examine and organize your findings. Did
your experiments give you the expected results? Why or why not? Was your
experiment performed with the exact same steps each time? Are there other
explanations that you had not considered or observed? Were there errors in
your observations? Remember that understanding errors and reporting that a
suspected variable did not change the results can be valuable information. If
possible, statistically analyze your data.
Which variables are important? Did you collect enough data? Do you need to
conduct more experimentation? Keep an open mind—never alter results to
fit a theory. If your results do not support your hypothesis, you still have
accomplished successful scientific research.

Identification performed by UTEX through microscopy and DNA-barcoding techniques.
Some strains have identifying characteristics that allow identification to the level of genus using light microscopy. UTEX can identify algal strains to the level of species by sequencing their rDNA (18s, 5.8s, and/or ITS 2 regions), or at a minimum, determine the most closely related species for which there is sequence data available. The culture does not have to be axenic, but it must be unialgal and free of other eukaryotic organisms (protists and fungi). For best results, we request that the culture predominantly consist of the algal strain in question. Additional services are detailed in the Biochemical Analysis page.
Strain identification by:
Microscopy: $50 USD per strain
DNA Sequencing: $900 USD per strain ($400 USD deposit due prior to sequencing)

Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister has recently said that India will soon launch E-20 fuel with 20% blending of ethanol.
About E-20 Fuel:
- The E20 fuel is a twenty percent blend of Ethanol and eighty percent of fossil based fuel.
- The introduction of E20 fuel has the motive of reducing the reliance on fossil based fuels for building a more sustainable society for the future and to reduce vehicular emissions.
- It is expected to reduce air pollution, being lesser polluting than petrol.
- The government foresees oil import savings to the tune of Rs. 30,000 crores annually.
What is Ethanol fuel?
- Ethanol fuel is ethyl alcohol, the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic drinks.
- It is most commonly utilized as a motor fuel, primarily as a biofuel addition in gasoline. Biomass is commonly utilized for making ethanol, such as corn or sugarcane. India's abundance of sugarcane production is pivotal to the push towards ethanol based fuel.
- Flex engines are those that can run at any ratio of ethanol blending from E20 to E100.
- These types of engines and cars are not new.
- The Fiat 147, launched in 1978 in Brazil, was the first production car to run solely on ethanol.
Q1) What are fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy resources made from decomposing plants and animals that are found in the Earth's crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.

Eight seasons is a long time to keep things fresh. Just ask The Walking Dead. At risk of decaying like so many of its mangled Walkers, outgoing showrunner Scott Gimple has revealed plans for the show to undergo a complete refresh for season 9. He’s stopped short of using the word reboot – but his words have pretty clear implications for both Sunday’s finale and the show’s immediate future.
Speaking to EW (opens in new tab), Gimple addressed his departure and how it ties into the finale. For him and his team of writers, it felt as if “in many ways being sort of the conclusion of the first eight seasons.”
I was already firmly on the ‘Rick dies’ theory bandwagon, and now I’m more convinced than ever that Rick bites the dust in The Walking Dead season 8 finale (opens in new tab). Don’t believe me? Read what else Scott Gimple has to say…
“This show will be very much a new show next year and with a bigger, new narrative,” says the showrunner who was on charge of the series from seasons 4 to 8.
The best way to make it feel like a new show? Kill off your lead. Plenty of shows have done it, but none would top The Walking Dead straight-up murdering Rick. Even Andrew Lincoln thinks the show could continue if Rick dies (opens in new tab). It’d get plenty of eyes on The Walking Dead season 9, and inject a real sense of panic if any protagonist from then on could die at any moment.
At the very least, the ‘new narrative’ hints at the war with the Saviors finally coming to an end. How big could it get? Might we see the incredibly creepy Whisperers come into play, or maybe the mysterious folder-wielding Georgie could open up the world even more than Jesus promised?
Heck, I’d love to see the show attempt a proper endgame at this point, but, if AMC heads want the franchise to drag on for another few decades (opens in new tab), I think we’ll all be dead in the cold, cold ground before that ever comes to pass.
For more in the way of future TV goodness, check out our big list of new TV shows (opens in new tab) coming your way in 2018.

The social networking site for businesses and their employees is backed by U.S. Venture Partners
Enterprise social networking site Yammer announced Tuesday that it has closed a $25 million Series C round, bringing its total financing to $40 million since launching in 2008. The round was led by U.S. Venture Partners, with help from Emergence Capital, Charles River Ventures, and Founders Fund.
The site is like a Facebook for businesses, back when Facebook only allowed users with a college email account to join. Yammer only allows individuals with a valid business email account to join, at which point they can communicate and collaborate via any number of the site’s features, including enterprise microblogging, direct messaging, groups, communities, company directories, and uploads. The site appears to provide a convenient solution to the awkward dilemma of trying to figure out whether or not to friend a coworker on Facebook. (It’s a bad idea. Don’t do it.)
Some 90,000 companies use Yammer, including such big names as Groupon, Cisco, UNICEF, Eventbrite, LG, Mashable, Thompson Reuters, and more. The site has over 1.5 million users in 136 countries, including employees at 80% of the Fortunate 500. Yammer plans to use the new capital to quickly scale its operations, triple the size of its engineering team, and beef up its sales organization. Additionally, the company has plans to open offices in Europe and Australia.
"The consumerization of the enterprise is happening in a big way and Yammer sits right in the middle of this major trend," said Mamoon Hamid, principal at U.S. Venture Partners, in a prepared statement. "Yammer's growth has been explosive and they've proven the value of the freemium model. The new infusion of capital will help the company scale to meet the considerable market demand."
Along with the latest round of fundraising, Yammer is also announcing the addition of new executives David Stewart and Mark Woolway to its management team. Stewart is joining the company as vice president of product management. Previously, he was the senior director of product at Playdom, where he focused on virality and user acquisition. Woolway comes to the company from Clarium Capital, where he was the managing director, following his stint at PayPal as vice president of corporate development. Woolway is joining Yammer as vice president of corporate affairs.

To unlock its advantageous location, Hung Yen province is further perfecting technical infrastructure and drawing investment capital into industrial zones, with priority given to large-scale high-tech projects, Mr Pham Thai Son, Director of the Authority of Industrial Parks of Hung Yen Province, shared with the Vietnam Business Forum Magazine.
What do you think about the Management Board of Industrial Parks of Hung Yen Province after 15 years of operation (2003 - 2018)?
In 2003 when the Management Board of Industrial Parks of Hung Yen Province was established, Hung Yen had only 390-ha Pho Noi A Industrial Park and 95-ha Pho Noi A Garment Textile Industrial Park. To date, the province has planned to develop 10 industrial zones covering 2,481 ha, including Pho Noi A (689 ha), Pho Noi Garment Textile (121.81 ha) and Thang Long II (345.2 ha). The province is also reporting to the Prime Minister for approval to add 3,000-ha Ly Thuong Kiet Industrial Park, Residential and Service Area to the national industrial zone development plan. In particular, Pho Noi A, Pho Noi Garment Textile, Thang Long II, Yen My II and Minh Duc are operational and have complete technical infrastructure, including clean water supply plants and centralised wastewater treatment facilities. Pho Noi Garment Textile and Industrial Park and Thang Long II Industrial Park completed infrastructure investment and basically leased their rentable areas. Thang Long II Industrial Park is among the most synchronised and modern industrial parks in Vietnam and is attracting many Japanese investors.
So, how is the investment and business performance of tenants in industrial parks?
Up to now, Hung Yen industrial zones have attracted 382 projects, including 211 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects and 171 domestic direct investment (DDI) projects, with a total registered capital of US$3.6 billion and over VND23,500 billion (US$1 billion). They hired 717 ha of land, accounting for 77 per cent of rentable industrial area. Japan is currently the largest investor, accounting for 60 per cent of total projects and 73 per cent of total investment value, followed by South Korea with 18 per cent of projects and 12 per cent of the value.
Investment projects in industrial parks are quickly carried out in line with registered progress and adhere to current laws. Industrial parks are now home to 312 investment projects (180 FDI projects and 132 DDI projects), accounting for 83 per cent of projects in force. Their disbursed capital reaches US$2,875 million, or 81.7 per cent of the registered FDI fund and VND17,342 billion, or 75 per cent of the total registered DDI capital. Operational projects make US$4.5 billion of revenue, US$2.2 billion of export value and US$1.5 billion of import value. They also pay VND1,800 billion to the State Budget and employ 48,000 workers.
Would you be kind enough to tell us about current investment attraction orientations at Hung Yen industrial parks?
In recent years, industrial parks attracted huge investment projects powered by advanced technologies, such as a project invested by Toto Vietnam Co., Ltd; a project of Hyundai Aluminium Vina Co., Ltd; Hoya Glass Disk Vietnam II project of Hoya Glassdisk Company; and a project of Hoa Phat Steel Sheet Co., Ltd. In addition, some enterprises registered to invest in research and development (R&D) on information technology products, lithium battery materials, household electrical appliances and veterinary vaccines. Attracting these projects has helped maintain the pace of economic development, promote industrial development, especially supporting industries, generate State budget revenue and create many jobs for workers.
In recent years, the province has shifted its investment attraction approach to meet development requirements for specific periods of time, with priority given to investment projects with huge investment fund, advanced energy-saving and environment-friendly technologies, and particularly tax-generating projects.
How do you assess the quality and effect of public administration reform conducted by the Management Board of Industrial Parks?
The Management Board applied the ISO 9001:2008 quality management system to direction and administration since 2008 and shifted to the ISO 9001:2015 standard since in 2016, thus helping to strictly control civil servants, ensuring the rule of law and raising product quality.
The deployment of information technology applications has been accelerated, coupled with the administrative system modernisation. To date, the board has provided online public services for Level 3 administrative procedures and some Level 4 procedures. Since the beginning of 2018, all jobs have been received and settled via document management and administration software.
The electronic portal of the Management Board has also been effectively implemented, helping enhance publicity and transparency of administrative policies and plans. Administrative procedures and addresses for receiving business opinions, project information and industrial park operations are publicised and promptly updated on electronic information portals for investors to access and follow.
In addition, the organisational structure of the Management Board has been further strengthened. In 2016, the Board established a single-window application reception and result delivery division, connected with the Business Registration Office of the Department of Planning and Investment, to deal with investment registration and business registration procedures for foreign investors. It established and maintained operations of the Japanese Business Help Desk in Hung Yen where investment registration and business registration procedures are resolved in three days, 15 days faster than regulations.
Administrative procedures are controlled well; new legal regulations and administrative procedures issued by ministries and other authorities are announced timely, drafted and submitted to the Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee for public announcement; and administrative procedures are assessed to find existing problems to propose amendments, supplements and simplifications. Administrative procedures received by the Management Board are settled in time or sooner than the regulatory timeframe, with approximately 56 per cent settled from one to nine days sooner. The result of benchmarking the Public Administration Reform Index of the Management Board of Industrial Parks has improved year after year, from 7th position in 2015 to 2nd in 2017 in the province.

Perlisten Audio S7c Center Channel Speaker
Perlisten products are usually in-stock at the distributor in NJ. please e-mail email@example.com or call 475-350-9876 to order.
The worlds first THX Dominus certified products from Perlisten.
To complement the S7t in the Studio or Home theater is a center channel with dynamics to mix or to just sit back an enjoy a movie as the studio intended. Featuring our proprietary DPC-Array controlling Mid/High frequencies and centered by our finest 28mm Beryllium dome and dual 28mm TPCD ultra-lightweight domes. The super wide horizontal dispersion and controlled vertical are even more critical in the center channel that is to be closer to the floor. The controlled vertical dispersion reduces the floor reflections that can blur the critical midrange.
All transducers are developed ground up by our engineers bringing decades of research and culminating in this world class design. All S-Series speakers share the same DPC-Array and benefit from our unique timbre matching technique across the entire series utilizing Beryllium and our advanced Carbon fiber. These speakers are an acoustic suspension to meet the demands on any listening room. True extension range performance with unparalleled dynamic range and musical finesse.
Directivity Pattern Control
Patent Pending DPC- We teamed up with companies in the USA and Sweden to bring modern material science to hi-fi utilizing advanced Comsol acoustic modeling. The DPC-array is the result of 18 months of painstaking simulations. We just love it and think you will too.
Beryllium - Covering the widest bandwidth, up to ultrasonics, our finest 28mm Beryllium dome plays center stage. Beryllium is one of the strongest materials known and does not suffer from the typical harsh breakup modes of other metals due to its outstanding damping characteristics. Accurate, undistorted, and revealing.
TPCD Carbon Fiber - The Beryllium tweeter is flanked by our dual 28mm TPCD ultra-lightweight Carbon fiber domes midranges. Allowing the crossover point to extend more than an octave lower than typical domes, fast, lightweight and without beaming caused by larger diaphragms.
Waveguide lens – all of this technology wouldn’t be worth it without the waveguide orchestrating the directional characteristics of the array. Presenting a coherent wavefront, while optimizing early reflections and sound power, to bring vocal reproduction to an altogether new level.
TPCD Carbon Fiber
The same (TPCD) TexTreme carbon fiber midrange is also the key to the performance of our woofers resulting in our lighter than air dynamics and the impact you expect in a flagship Center channel that can play to 34Hz in a room. This technology is 30% lighter than standard carbon fiber of the same thickness while increasing the strength using the unique process of stacking multiple layers. The unique weave is unmistakable and distributes break up modes without sharp peaks in the response while extending bandwidth. Simply perfect.
It takes more than just world class materials to make world class sound. It takes quality that makes you trust your speaker will never fail you in the middle of a dynamic explosion or hearing the subtlety of a triangle in your favorite orchestra. We demand this in our products so you don’t have to.

The number of new cases in Mississippi jumped by 90 and deaths increased by four as of 6 p.m. Monday, March 30.
The Mississippi State Department of Health is reporting 937 cases and 20 deaths this morning. MSDH reports new statistics each morning with test results from the previous day. The results include those from the State Public Health Laboratory and from outside laboratories.
Warren County continues to report only one case. Neighboring Issaquena County has not reported a case, and Claiborne County has also reported one case.
Hinds and Desoto counties continue to be the state’s hotspots, with 90 and 84 cases, respectively. Desoto County has reported one death.
The MSDH lab has tested 4,454 individuals and recorded 407 positive results. The balance of the 937 results come from outside labs; however, the numbers those labs have tested have not been made available. It is impossible to know, therefore, what percentage of those tested are returning positive results.
COVID-19 is infecting men and women in all age groups. Those over 60, however, are far more susceptible to die from the disease. Of the 20 deaths reported in Mississippi, 16 have been people over age 60, and 11 have been 70 or older.
Thirty-two percent of reported cases have required hospitalization.
“Anyone with symptoms of fever, severe cough or severe chest pains – especially those who are older or in poor health – should call their doctor or healthcare provider for instructions on safely being examined,” the MSDH website states. “Healthcare providers can assess your health history and symptoms, and perform testing for COVID-19 as needed.”
Today, Vicksburg is hosting a one-day free drive-through testing facility at the Pemberton Square Mall.
