I have been working as a film journalist since 2010, dividing the first four years between radio broadcasting and entertainment writing in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. In 2014, I entered Fresh Fiction (FreshFiction.tv) as the features editor. The following year, I stepped into the film critic position at the Denton Record-Chronicle, a daily North Texas print publication. My time is dedicated to writing theatrical film reviews, at-home entertainment columns, and conducting interviews with on-screen talent and filmmakers, as well as hosting a podcast devoted to genre filmmaking (called My Bloody Podcast). I've been married for seven happy years, and I have one son who is all about dinosaurs just like his dad.

When it comes to Disney sport films, critics tend to roll their eyes. All too often does Disney play it too safe and try to manipulate our emotions, but hey, their films are made to be seen by a wide audience. So you can’t expect a lot of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. However, since this is a family-friendly zone, McFARLAND, USA is about as good as sports films get.
The story is as follows: After an incident, Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) finds himself having to move his family to the only job at the only school that would hire him. He has his doubts about the town (insert movie title), but after some time goes by he notices that the students of McFarland High School have a unique potential. They may not have the talent to lead a football team, but they can run. So Coach White forms a cross country team and transforms the students into championship contenders.
Costner is a dependable actor for the most part, especially movies with sports set as the background. Even when his movies are terrible, and Costner has been in some terrible movies, he always brings such charm and heart to his roles. When you think about some of the sports films he has done, what makes them so memorable is the fact that there is more to them than a sports team trying to achieve greatness or the game itself. 1988’s BULL DURHAM was more than just about baseball; it was about love and life. Same goes for TIN CUP (1996), FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME (1999) and even last year’s DRAFT DAY.
Now, under the wing of filmmaker Niki Caro (WHALE RIDER, NORTH COUNTRY), Costner gives one his most earnest performances in quite sometime. His Coach White is very grounded and human. You can feel his frustration and why he slips when he does, especially at the film’s start, when trying to motivate a football team. He shows us the various facets of his character– a coach, a father, a neighbor and a mentor. And no, I’m not doing Steve Carell’s speech from FOXCATCHER (2014); Costner is just that kind of character: someone for the students of McFarland to look up to and follow.
While Costner carries the film in a big way, much of the film’s strength comes from the runners themselves and their unique, individual stories. They each work hard, get up before dawn and support their families by working in the fruit fields. It offers a powerful immersion into their culture and taxing lifestyle that is part of their work.
McFARLAND, USA could have easily been rendered a clichéd portrayal, but Caro has a careful hand that poignantly depicts the harsh reality of life in a migrant community and showcases an awe-inspiring story about a town that came together and had hope. Of the new additions this week, this may be the good-hearted film to see.
McFARLAND, USA is playing in theaters today.

New Delhi: China has offered to provide all the required support and assistance to India amid a massive increase in the COVID-19 cases in the country.
When asked about the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in neighboring India, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin called the COVID-19 pandemic a common enemy of all mankind saying it requires international solidarity and mutual assistance.
India recorded 3,32,730 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, the highest single-day spike since the pandemic broke out last year, reported ANI. This has taken the cumulative count of the COVID infection in the country to 1,62,63,695.
With this, India has crossed the mark of 3 lakh COVID-19 cases for two consecutive days now.
However, it’s not yet clear whether China has reached out to India officially.
Eminent Chinese director Nanfu Wangs in her latest documentary “In The Same Breath” showed how China flouted its moral and legal responsibility by deliberately and systematically hiding the COVID-19 outbreak.
China downplayed the seriousness of the pandemic and failed to forewarn its citizens through the State-controlled media and the world at large
Taiwan had alerted the World Health Organization (WHO) about the human-to-human transmission of the virus but the warning was ignored.
In March, the WHO released a report on the global tracing of COVID-19 origins saying further studies and data on the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus reiterating that all hypotheses remain open.
Various news reports have made it clear that the WHO team worked under limitations and did not have access to all information it sought on the initial days of the outbreak.
On Friday, India achieved yet another grim milestone reporting the highest number of daily new Covid-19 cases. A total of 3,32,730 cases were recorded in the last 24 hours, as per the health ministry data.
Also, India registered over 2,000 daily deaths for the third consecutive day with the highest spike in single-day deaths of 2,263 on Friday, since the Covid-19 pandemic early last year, taking the cumulative death toll in India to 1,86,920 so far, reported IANS.
On Thursday, India had reported 3,14,835 new cases and 2,104 deaths.

Up and away
Whether space shuttles, airplanes or helicopters, aerospace vessels are subject to extreme situations. These situations range from extreme changes in temperature through to vacuum states in outer space.
Our temperature and climatic test chambers are used for testing aerospace components and assemblies. Nearly all common aerospace standards such as MIL STD 810, can be performed in the test chambers, which can also be interfaced with a variety of vibration generators to perform combined environmental testing in single or multiple axes.
Environmental stress screening systems also cater for the rapid temperature rates of change required for many aerospace applications where repeatability and performance are paramount.

|Zimbabweans abroad are seen as working against the ruling party
The African Union has defined the African Diaspora as "… people of African origin living outside the continent, irrespective of their citizenship and nationality and who are willing to contribute to the development of the continent and the building of the African Union." Its constitutive act declares that it shall "invite and encourage the full participation of the African Diaspora as an important part of our Continent, in the building of the African Union."
In much of postcolonial Africa, brain drain has been negatively viewed as the sinister poaching of scarce skills by developed nations, a euphemism for the "accumulation strategies of international capital" of developed nations. Concern is that the sending countries will lose out in form of scarce skills (Doctors, Teachers, Engineers and other highly educated professionals) and tax money invested in educating and mentoring the emigrating professionals.
In Zimbabwe, the movement of people (Zimbabwean Diaspora) fleeing the economic and political disaster has from the state point of view been projected as a security threat, hence the reluctance to allow them participate in the 2008 general elections. The state thus views the Diaspora as a source of political and economic competition.
Viewing our economy as a victim of the West has inspired policies in postcolonial Zimbabwe. All policies are now geared towards countering foreign threats including the ‘threats’ from Zimbabweans abroad, who are seen as working against the ruling party. What has been ignored is the fact that the Diaspora is a critical element of the development programme of any successful nation. History is littered with examples of nations that harvested from integrating Diasporas in economic planning.Mexico, China, Korea, Taiwan, India and the USA are few outstanding examples.
The deportation of sons and daughters of the ruling elite and cronies from Australia should help to instill the real sense among my countrymen who have fallen prey to the propaganda that learning and working abroad is sinister and non-patriotic. At least the Australians action vindicates this pretence by government.
The Diasporas are beneficial in Transport, tourism, trade, Telecommunications and Transmission of remittances. Transport is boosted, in particular the air, road and rail transport as Zimbabweans domiciled in foreign nations travel to and from Zimbabwe during public holidays. The visits also accompany with it tourism, as the returnees come home for holidaymaking and visiting relatives. Zimbabweans in foreign lands also act as ambassadors of the Zimbabwean brand. They are thus Zimbabwe’s political and socio-economic ambassadors. When they part with their relatives, emigrants want to maintain their social and business ties, so the telecommunications industry gets a boom in telephone calls and Internet revenue.
Trade is boosted through a network of ties which are developed. Indians in USA for example, act as middlemen's in outsourcing IT requirements for their countrymen. This helps to instill confidents in transactions, thus enhancing trade. The transmission of remittances is also another obvious oversold benefit of foreign flow of revenue for consumption and investments purposes.
Zimbabwe cannot avoid missing the opportunities of harnessing the Diaspora component in economic recovery, if it is to meet its development agenda. A post crisis era should encourage the returnees to return back to their motherland and invest in their country through various initiatives among them; creating high interest foreign currency bonds specifically for the Diaspora, and tax exemptions for those bringing industrial equipment and machinery (this paid dividends in China and Pakistan).
Encouraging entrepreneurship should be a priority because the Diasporas have the advantage of huge savings as compared to locals and their competitive edge is a specialized skill and exposure to advanced technologies. The post crisis government should encourage the formation of hometown associations e.g. Harare-SA association as vehicles for investments and networking.
Above all we should secure an economy which values private property rights (land ownership titles should become a market commodity) through a court protection underpinned by an independent judiciary, the Diasporas must be presented as compatriots, and a free contestation of opinions must prevail as a market of ideas.
The state has no strategic capacity to remain with management functions of the economy; it should dispose public entities targeting the Diaspora, and remain with a few strategic public utilities such as ZINWA and National Railways, which should instead be commercialized. The state should retain a regulatory, coordinating and accountable role in the management process of the economy; by setting the rules of the game and ensuring that they are respected by all. Trampling on private property rights and other economic subjects should become a treasonable offence.
This will allow Zimbabwe to speak the same language in the international business circles while ushering in a middle class composed of entrepreneurs, which are a more stable element and ardent supporter of the development of the country.
The lessons of the harsh legacy that Zimbabwe has received should collectively unite

Black ballerinas talk continuing discrimination in classical ballet
A recent article done by The Guardian, brought to light the lack of “color” there is in ballet. Many of the dancers interviewed for the article cited various instances of discrimination from different ballet companies.
From Clutch Magazine: Misty Copeland didn’t start taking ballet lessons until she was 13 years old, which is considered unheard of in the world of ballet. Although she had a late start, Copeland has taken the ballet world by storm. Four years after she started training, Copeland was accepted into the prestigious American Ballet Theater (ABT). Although ABT has been around since 1937, Copeland was only the third African-American female soloist to join.
A recent article done by The Guardian brought to light the lack of “color” in ballet. Many of the dancers interviewed for the article cited various instances of discrimination from different ballet companies. Ballerina Aesha Ash blames traditionalism, “I have a strong sense that, behind the scenes, donors are saying that they don’t want to see African-Americans promoted in ballet. They want to see Giselles as pale, they want things to remain how they are – for the ‘pure’ swans to look like the traditional swans they’ve seen their whole lives.”
One dancer noticed the lack of color in ballet, took matters into her own hands. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Dance in 2001, Cassa Pancho founded Ballet Black.

Next week, the Meeting of Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) will gather under the aegis of the Convention on Conventional Weapons at the United Nations in Geneva. Various non-governmental organizations behind the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots are urging that a new international treaty banning warbots be promulgated and adopted. As part the effort to outlaw killer robots, Human Rights Watch has issued a report, Mind the Gap: The Lack of Accountability for Killer Robots, offering arguments for a ban.
According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), the chief problem is not only that soulless machines would be unaccountable for what they do, but so too would be the people who deploy or make them. Consequently, one of HRW's chief objections is the claim:
The autonomous nature of killer robots would make them legally analogous to human soldiers in some ways, and thus it could trigger the doctrine of indirect responsibility, or command responsibility. A commander would nevertheless still escape liability in most cases. Command responsibility holds superiors accountable only if they knew or should have known of a subordinate's criminal act and failed to prevent or punish it. These criteria set a high bar for accountability for the actions of a fully autonomous weapon. …
…given that the weapons are designed to operate independently, a commander would not always have sufficient reason or technological knowledge to anticipate the robot would commit a specific unlawful act. Even if he or she knew of a possible unlawful act, the commander would often be unable to prevent the act, for example, if communications had broken down, the robot acted too fast to be stopped, or reprogramming was too difficult for all but specialists.
In my column, Let Slip the Robots of War, I countered:
Individual soldiers can be held responsible for war crimes they commit, but who would be accountable for the similar acts executed by robots? University of Virginia ethicist Deborah Johnson and Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences philosopher Merel Noorman make the salient point that "it is far from clear that pressures of competitive warfare will lead humans to put robots they cannot control into the battlefield without human oversight. And, if there is human oversight, there is human control and responsibility." The robots' designers would set constraints on what they could do, instill norms and rules to guide their actions, and verify that they exhibit predictable and reliable behavior.
"Delegation of responsibility to human and non-human components is a sociotechnical design choice, not an inevitable outcome technological development," Johnson and Noorman note. "Robots for which no human actor can be held responsible are poorly designed sociotechnical systems." Rather than focus on individual responsibility for the robots' activities, Anderson and Waxman point out that traditionally each side in a conflict has been held collectively responsible for observing the laws of war. Ultimately, robots don't kill people; people kill people.
In fact, warbots might be better at discriminating between targets and initiating proportional force. As I noted:
The Georgia Tech roboticist Ronald Arkin turns this issue on its head, arguing that lethal autonomous weapon systems "will potentially be capable of performing more ethically on the battlefield than are human soldiers." While human soldiers are moral agents possessed of consciences, they are also flawed people engaged in the most intense and unforgiving forms of aggression. Under the pressure of battle, fear, panic, rage, and vengeance can overwhelm the moral sensibilities of soldiers; the result, all too often, is an atrocity.
Now consider warbots. Since self-preservation would not be their foremost drive, they would refrain from firing in uncertain situations. Not burdened with emotions, autonomous weapons would avoid the moral snares of anger and frustration. They could objectively weigh information and avoid confirmation bias when making targeting and firing decisions. They could also evaluate information much faster and from more sources than human soldiers before responding with lethal force. And battlefield robots could impartially monitor and report the ethical behavior of all parties on the battlefield.
The concerns expressed by Human Rights Watch are well-taken, but a ban could be outlawing weapons systems that might be far more discriminating and precise in their target selection and engagement than even human soldiers. A preemptive ban risks being a tragic moral failure rather than an ethical triumph.
Disclosure: I have made small contributions to Human Rights Watch from time to time.

Probabilistic Voting Theory
Recall that in the last post I said that a voting system is a function that takes in a distribution on utility functions on a set of candidates, and produces a distribution on that set of candidates, and that voting theorists tend to make four assumptions:
- The set of candidates is finite.
- The function only uses the preorders on candidates implied by the utility functions.
- The output distribution assigns probability 1 to a single candidate.
- The input distribution is the uniform distribution on some finite set.
The fourth assumption doesn't really matter, and isn't really used, so we can just remove it. The third assumption, on the other hand, is important for many of the voting theory conclusions, but we are now going to see what happens if we remove it. We will keep the first two assumptions.
So now, we will be considering lotteries (i.e. distributions) over candidates, since that will be the output of our voting system.
Given a set of candidates, lotteries, and an electorate, we say that dominates if.
Lets unpack this definition. We are given three distributions, a distribution on voters, and and, distributions on candidates. We are imagining independently sampling from these three distributions to get,, and respectively. When we do this, one of three things will happen:
- will prefer to. ()
- will prefer to. ()
- will be indifferent. ()
We say that dominates if the first outcome is at least as likely as the second outcome. Note that we don't need to look at the actual utility functions to determine whether A dominates B, we only need to look at the partial ordering of preferences over candidates, so we are not violating assumption 2. Also note that domination need not be transitive.
Given a set of candidates, and an electorate, a maximal lottery is an such that for all other, dominates.
Sounds great, but surely that is too strong a condition, domination isn't even transitive.
Doesn't matter. Maximal lotteries always exist!
What? Is this some silly Brouwer's fixed point thing, where you can't find them, and they aren't unique?
Nope. Maximal lotteries are basically unique. The only reason they aren't unique is because of ties. For example, if your electorate is the uniform distribution on an odd number of voters that are never indifferent, there will be a unique maximal lottery. And you can find them quickly.
Wow, so this is like a proper voting system then: given an electorate, just output the maximal lottery.
Is it any good?
Well, it's Condorcet.
Wow! This is has got to be the most elegant Condorcet voting system I have ever seen! Most of the Condorcet systems I have seen have basically looked like they took the Condorcet criterion, and then wrote an algorithm around it. Is it Clone invariant?
Yep.....And it satisfies consistency and participation.
What? Those are incompatible with Condorcet!
Only for deterministic voting systems!
Wow! I don't really have an intuition for probabilistic voting systems, There must be all sorts of cool stuff you can do once you allow randomness.
No, this is basically it. You could choose a random voter to be dictator, which is nice for being strategy-proof, but that isn't Condorcet. In fact, Maximal Lotteries are uniquely characterized as the only probabilistic voting system that is Condorcet, consistent, and clone invariant. (See this paper by Florian Brandl, Felix Brandt, and Hans Georg Seedig.)
I'm sold. But are people ready to start flipping coins in elections?
They usually don't have to! Remember, maximal lotteries satisfy the Condorcet Criterion. So whenever there is a Condorcet winner, that candidate will just win deterministically, and you won't need to randomize at all!
Sketches of the Most Important Arguments
I will sketch arguments for the existence of maximal lotteries, and the fact that they are Condorcet and consistent. I won't bother proving that they are (usually) unique, satisfy clone invariance and participation, or any unique characterization, as these are harder and also the main thrust of the miracle of maximal lotteries is the fact that they bridge the gap between Condorcet and consistency. For that, I defer here and here.
Existence of Maximal Lotteries
Imagine a two player zero-sum game between Alice and Bob. Alice and Bob each choose a candidate. Alice gets utility equal to the probability that a randomly chosen voter prefers her candidate to Bob's candidate minus the probability that a randomly chosen voter prefers Bob's candidate to hers. Bob, symmetrically, gets the negative of this utility.
This game has a Nash equilibrium. (Since it is a two player zero sum game, we

Are not all magnets very strong? What makes magnets " […]
Are not all magnets very strong? What makes magnets "strong"? We revealed this ancient secret on our blog today.
All magnets have a specific energy density that can be measured. Not surprisingly, some of them are stronger than others. Bring the refrigerator magnets you use every day. These magnets can easily hold small strips of paper or postcards, but they cannot hold a complete newspaper or cardboard box. Heavier objects require magnets with stronger magnetic field strength.
This is also true when buying magnets for specific jobs. If you want the magnet to be strong enough to withstand heavier loads, you need a stronger magnet.
Magnets are made of various materials, the most common being ferrite (ceramic), Al-Ni-Co, Samarium Cobalt, and Neodymium Iron Boron, also known as NIB.
Why is energy density important?
Knowing the energy density of a specific magnet type allows engineers and your everyday hobbyist or school science department to understand which type of magnet is needed for the job/project they wish to work on. Although one of these magnets is called a "strong" magnet, this in no way means that the other magnets are weak. All magnets have a certain strength, depending on their energy density, but there is only one really "strong" magnet, and this one is neodymium iron boron or NIB magnets. The actual term "strong" magnet refers to this rare earth magnet called NIB magnet, which is actually the strongest magnet on earth.
These NIB magnets are called "rare earth magnets" because they are made of a rare earth alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron.
Energy density of a specific magnet
If we look at the energy density of magnets on the market today, we will see a huge difference from strong magnets such as ferrite to "strong" magnets such as neodymium iron boron. BHmax is a term used to describe the overall strength of a magnet. The BHmax of each magnet type is listed below.
Ceramic or ferrite: BHmax is 3.5
Alnico: BHmax is 5.5
Samarium Cobalt: BHmax is 26
NdFeB: BHmax is 40
From the above list, we can clearly see that although the strength of ceramic magnets is very high, there is a significant difference in BHmax or energy density compared with NdFeB magnets. This is why NIB is called a "strong" magnet. Whenever you hear someone use the term "strong" magnets, you now know that they are most likely referring to rare earth magnets called NIB magnets.
Is there any reason why people do not use NIB magnets?
These "strong" magnets are very powerful. When you use them, you must always be careful. In many cases, their high energy density is not necessary. Generally, ceramic or Anilco magnets are better choices.
As can be seen from the information given above, there are various magnets on the market. They come in various sizes and different grades, but only one type of magnet is called a "powerful" magnet. Now you know what a "strong" magnet is.

Generation Rent has joined forces with five local authorities to help private tenants stand up for their rental rights and get tough on rogue landlords.
It is partnering with Dundee City Council, East Suffolk Council, Gedling Borough Council, London borough of Newham, and Newport City Council to find ways the councils can be more responsive to issues and concerns, and to develop policies to better support renters, such as through enforcement or landlord licensing.
It says that while many councils around the country have landlord forums, very few have formal structures to hear from private renters.
Councils have powers to tackle unsafe homes but, according to a Survation poll, when asked what they would do if their home felt unfit to live in, private renters were more likely to try to find somewhere else to live (44%) than seek the council’s help (35%).
Alicia Kennedy (pictured, top), director of Generation Rent, says: “These local authorities have recognised the important role councils play in supporting private renters, and now want to improve the way they represent and engage private renters.
“We hope this joint work will develop new models of engagement that can be shared and built upon by other local authorities.”
Gedling Council aims to gain a better understanding of the key issues private renters are facing, says council leader John Clarke: “We’re already working with landlords on this through our selective licensing scheme, but it’s vital that we also engage with residents who are renting these properties, to get their views and plan how we can improve our services for them.”
Renters in these areas are being asked to take part in an online survey to share their renting experiences in the project which is funded by the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust.

We believe that physics should be more than an academic exercise and that the best way to learn is by doing!
Our courses are designed to give you hands-on experience right from the first-year Introduction to Engineering course all the way through to the final research project.
The BS in physics emphasizes the traditional theoretical, experimental and mathematical basis of physics and provides a solid foundation for graduate work in physics or related fields, such as engineering, astrophysics, biophysics, physical oceanography, geophysics and meteorology. Students may also use the physics major as preparation for attending professional school in fields such as medicine, dentistry and law.
The BA in physics is for students planning to enter a profession needing a technical or scientific background and is particularly appropriate for students interested in a double major with another field or those completing a major in inclusive childhood or secondary education. It is also ideal for those wishing to study medicine, practice law as it relates to science or technology, or earn an MBA and enter a technical business field.
Why Major in Physics?
- Learn physics by doing physics in our research-based, hands-on program.
- Gain critical experience with high-tech equipment used regularly by practicing physicists (e.g., a cyclotron [particle accelerator], Farnsworth Fusor [nuclear fusion chamber], scanning electron microscope [6 nanometer resolution], x-ray diffractometer, wind tunnel, and/or one of the nation’s fastest supercomputers [for simulations in aeronautical engineering]).
- Spend the summer doing real, cutting-edge research—and get paid for it.
- Develop practical new skills that are useful in physics research, such as operating machine tools, welding, soldering, electronics, or using new computer languages/operating systems.
- Work collaboratively with your professors on research projects aimed at solving real-world problems, then publish and present your research at national conferences.
- Join the 100 percent of Houghton physics graduates who are employed or attending graduate school within one year of graduation.
- Develop close mentoring relationships with Christian faculty members who care about your academic, emotional and spiritual growth.
As soon as we talk about a subject, we put our knowledge into practice! In our introductory course, we combine lecture and lab into a seamless experience—no more waiting a week to carry out the lab. Instead of just lectures about mechanics, Houghton students plan orbital space missions to the moon, asteroids and outer planets. In the Science Honors Program, students work with an interdisciplinary team of professors from physics, chemistry, biology, communication and writing to study climate change—not just from a textbook, but by designing and building instrument packages and launching them to the edge of outer space.
Real World Experience
Physics majors at Houghton get experience in the real world. As early as their sophomore year, students may choose an adviseor and a research project. By graduation, they will have completed a significant, multi-year project they present at a scientific meeting. Houghton students have carried out nuclear physics experiments at Los Alamos National Laboratory, nuclear fusion projects at SUNY Geneseo and Ohio University, and nanotechnology research at Cornell University.
Our physics program allows professors and students to develop close working relationships with each other as we strive together toward the goal of academic excellence and spiritual growth. The student offices are right next to the professors’ offices. After the formal classes end, we spend our afternoons working together at the office chalkboards, discussing research problems and encouraging one another.
Undergraduate Research in Physics
The best way to learn physics is by doing physics. To this end, at Houghton, we offer a curriculum that, in addition to solid coursework, emphasizes the practical laboratory experience. Our goal is to provide a much broader experience for our students by having them spend several years becoming deeply involved in a “real-world” research problem—a problem that requires them to use all of the skills, tools and knowledge they have accumulated throughout their educational career, from electronic design to quantum mechanics to machine shop. Students present their work at professional scientific meetings and prepare a thesis. Summers are often spent working on research with Houghton faculty as well, most recently on experiments at Ohio University and SUNY Geneseo for the inertial confinement fusion programs at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) and the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) and nanotechnology research at the Cornell Center for Materials Research at Cornell University.
Percent of physics majors employed or in graduate school within nine months of graduation
Number of research talks and posters presented by students in the past five years
Number of physics meetings and symposiums at which Houghton students have presented their research in the past five years
The rigor of Houghton’s undergraduate physics program skirted the line between undergrad and graduate level. As such, it taught me how to think critically and really prepared me for graduate school.Kirby Runyon ’

It’s been ten years since the bottom of the market.
Let’s see how the annual median-sales-prices of detached-homes have changed:
|Town or Area|
- Everywhere’s a million!
- Most areas had their median sales price rise more in the second half (2014-2019).
- The number of sales is very impressive, given the run-up in pricing (we had 2,781 sales in 2018).
- Pricing in the Ranch has averaged +1% per year, which proves we can live with flat pricing for 5-10 years.
- Encinitas is less like Carlsbad and more like its ritzy neighbors to the south. Maybe it’s the culture?

If you are a cat lover and you are willing to bring them home, that is absolutely perfect but before that do you know that Persians are one of the most expensive cats in the market? The Persian cat price is on the higher side compared to any other species. Since it is a breed that is mostly on demand due to their amazing appearance, they are much on the higher side.
However, to the common question of how much does the grooming of Persian cats cost, you must know that it depends on you. There are many owners who choose to groom on their own and thereby cut their cost. But you have to keep in mind that you are not skipping this crucial step. Since they have long luscious coats, you must be sure to maintain their appearance over time.
Moreover, if you are willing to buy the doll face cat, you must know that since they have a unique face, they need additional care and attention. Hence you must be aware of the needs and requirements to make sure that your sweet little kitten looks good throughout the time. Nevertheless, the doll face Persian cat price is on the higher side because of their unmatched demand.
But if you are willing to do the grooming on your own, you must be aware of the products that you need to groom your cutie. Let’s check in details.
Trim their Nails: This is the first thing that you should start with. Initially you find them rejecting your action. Therefore you have to be very slow in action. Bear in mind that this is the first time they are doing this and therefore rejecting is pretty much common.
You can check the way it is groomed from the professional groomer. Be easy and let them understand that it will not do any harm to them. Even when the first few times will be tough, eventually they will get accustomed and it will become easier for both of you.
- Nail Trimmers
- Nail clippers
Comb Properly: You must comb the hair every day and when you are about to wash their coats, you must comb before washing. Detangling is a major part of Persian cat’s life. Therefore it is suggested to choose the big brushes so that you can comb and detangle properly.
There are a range of combs available online for the cat hairs. These are especially designed for the cat hairs. So, make sure to use the quality comb for your little one. Besides, if you are searching for a Persian cat price in Kolkata, you can check Mummy Cat. They have some of the best quality Persian cat breeds with them.
- Big Combs
Wash Them: Even when you don’t have to perform this step every week but this is a must once in a month. You should know that Persian cat price in India are on the higher side because of their coats. Therefore you must start maintaining their coats by washing them one in a month.
If you are thinking of using just any shampoo, then it is a big no no. You have to be very selective about their shampoo as this can have an impact on their appearance. Some of the owners make the mistake of using human shampoo which is definitely not the right choice. You need to be mindful while choosing the shampoo for your Persian cat.
If you are unable to understand which shampoo can be the right choice, the best choice is to ask from the vet. Since they have the knowledge of cats, they can guide you through.
- Cat shampoo
Pro Tip: We understand that the Persian cat price is high and the grooming costs keep adding up. But instead of grooming on your own from the first time, it is suggested to choose a vet for the first time. Follow the steps and techniques to be able to groom rightfully from the next time.
Have you checked Persian cat price in Mummy Cat? Now that you have known the way to groom, you can actually reduce the monthly expenses on grooming. To find the doll faced Persian cats, check the assortment available in Mummy Cat. They have a wide variety of kittens’ at the most affordable price.

Treatment with linagliptin compared with glimepiride results in a noninferior risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), according to results from the Cardiovascular Outcome Study of Linagliptin vs Glimepiride in Type 2 Diabetes (CAROLINA; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01243424), published in JAMA.
The results were presented at the 55th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, held September 16 to 20, 2019, in Barcelona, Spain.
Because there were no head-to-head trials comparing the long-term effects of linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, with glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, the goal of this study was to investigate the cardiovascular outcomes of these medications in patients with relatively early T2D and cardiovascular risk factors or prior history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
The multicenter randomized double-blind active-controlled clinical trial enrolled patients from 607 centers across 43 countries between November 2010 and December 2012. Of 6042 patients randomly assigned to treatment, 6033 participants (mean age, 64 years, 39.9% women; mean T2D duration, 6.3 years) received ≥1 dose of the study medication and were included in the statistical analysis.
The primary aim of the study was to evaluate whether linagliptin was noninferior to glimepiride for the time to 3-point major adverse cardiovascular event, including cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke.
During median duration follow-up of 6.3 years, the 3-point major adverse cardiovascular event measure occurred in 356 of 3023 patients (11.8%) who received linagliptin (2.1 per 100 person-years) and 362 of 3010 (12.0%) who received glimepiride (2.1 per 100 person-years), meeting the criterion for noninferiority (hazard ratio, 0.98; multiplicity-adjusted 2-sided 95.47% CI, 0.84-1.14; P <.001 for noninferiority). Testing for superiority was not statistically significant.
Frequencies of adverse events, including serious adverse events and adverse events leading to discontinuation of study medication, were comparable between groups. There were 1245 (41.2%) participants with ≥1 hospitalization in the linagliptin group and 1303 (43.3%) in the glimepiride group. There was also no imbalance in adjudication-confirmed pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer between the groups.
Incidence of hypoglycemic events was lower in the linagliptin group vs the glimepiride group across all predefined hypoglycemia severity categories. At least 1 episode of hypoglycemic adverse events occurred in 320 (10.6%) patients in the linagliptin group and 1132 (37.7%) in the glimepiride group (hazard ratio, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.21-0.26; P <.001).
The researchers noted that the study had several limitations. Among them were the focus on patients with relatively early diabetes and exclusion of insulin-treated patients, thus the results may not be applicable to patients with more advanced disease. In addition, there were inherent limitations of long-term trials, such as early termination of study medication.
“Among adults with relatively early type 2 diabetes and elevated cardiovascular risk, the use of linagliptin compared with glimepiride over a median of 6.3 years resulted in a noninferior risk of a composite cardiovascular outcome,” concluded the researchers.

You can play as often or as little as you’d like. You can also save money by playing online casino games rather than renting costly gaming venues. These advantages mean that slot machines online are becoming more well-known.
Internet slot machine games are exactly the way they sound. Log into an online casino and choose the slot machine you’d like to play. After that, you’ll need to deposit money into the bet you intend to make. You’ll be taken to a virtual casino, where you can play the classic casino games such as roulette, baccarat, craps and roulette.
The beauty of internet slot machines is that you don’t need to download anything to your computer to be able to access the site. All you need to access the internet is a web browser. You might get a prompt to log in to an online casino with an account username and password. This is a great indication that your personal information is secure.

A U-shaped tube contains a fluid of density 1.5x10^3 kg/m^3. the right side of the tube is closed, with vacuum above the fluid. The left side of the tube is open to the atmosphere. Assume the atmospheric pressure outside the tube is exactly 10^5 Pa.
a) How much higher will the fluid rise on the right side of the tube compared to the left?
b) Suppose a fan causes the air outside the open end of the tube to start moving at a speed of 10m/s. What will be the value of the height difference now? ( compare the pressure at the open end of the tube to the pressure at a distance point of the same height where the air is at rest)

Protesters in Midtown leave bodybags at Trump properties
BY GABRIELE HOLTERMANN
Two weeks after thousands of New
Yorkers celebrated President-elect
Joe Biden’s win over President
Trump in the streets of New York City,
Refuse Fascism activists gathered on Nov.
21 in Columbus Circle to protest Trump’s
refusal to concede the race, thus delaying
a peaceful transition of power.
They delivered their message not just
with signs and chants, but also makeshift
body bags, to Trump Tower and International
Hotel in Midtown — symbolizing the
massive loss of American life during the
second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sabel Boo of Refuse Fascism addressed
the group of about 25 protestors before
heading to Trump International.
“These bodybags represent the 250,000
people who have died from COVID and the
thousands more that will because of Donald
Trump blocking this transition to a Biden/
Harris administration,” Boo said. “This will
result in even more deaths.”
Referring to a recently published New
York Times article that the President
intends bombing Iran before leaving office,
she said, “This will result in death of
She also addressed the supporters of
President Trump, who has been claiming
election fraud and has filed numerous
lawsuits challenging the election outcome.
“This delay in the transition of power,
the peaceful transition, is fascist. And
he Trump is whipping up his followers
behind a lie of election fraud. This is
dangerous,” Boo added. “We are out here
to deliver a message to Donald Trump.
This election is over. You lost! Stop this
murderous COVID program, stop these
dangerous war moves, and stop whipping
up MAGA-fascist mobs in the street. You
lost, time to go.”
Artist and activist Jamal Mims fired up
the small crowd with some strong choice
words, “Trump pack your s–t, you are illegitimate!
It is so important that we are
here together to say no to all of this s–t; to
do what is necessary to drive Trump out of
the White House.”
The group, led by Sabel Boo’s young son,
then marched over to Trump International,

victims to Trump International Tower and Hotel in New York City on Nov. 21, 2020.
where they placed the body bags on the
sidewalk outside the property under the
watchful eye of NYPD officers and onlookers,
who, at times, cheered them on.
There, speakers called on the protesters to
pledge that they would refuse to give up the

Saturday’s protest in New York City was
part of a nationwide call to action. Similar protests
were scheduled in cities like Los Angeles,
Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, and Philadelphia.
Hate crimes begin to spike amid uptick
in victims of anti-trans attacks
BY MATT TRACY
GAY CITY NEWS
Hate crimes soared nationwide last
year to new heights not seen in
more than a decade, according to
new FBI data, and there was an increase in
the number of victims targeted on the basis
of gender identity.
The 2019 nationwide statistics were
announced just weeks after the NYPD
reported fresher numbers showing a more
recent drop in hate crimes this year compared
to last year in New York City.
But the release of the annual nationwide
FBI report, which includes information on
race, sexual orientation, gender identity,
and other demographics, revealed concerning
longer-term patterns. Law enforcement
agencies logged 7,314 criminal incidents,
according to the FBI, for a total of 8,559
related offenses. Last year marked an
increase of nearly 200 criminal incidents
from the year before and represented the
third consecutive year with at least 7,100
criminal incidents across the United States.
The cases overwhelmingly pertained to
single-issue bias incidents, 57.6% of which
were tied to offenders’ bias in relation to
race, ethnicity, or ancestry.
Members of the Proud Boys have been egged on the hate-filled drivel flowing
from President Donald Trump’s mouth.
The number of victims who were
targeted on the basis of gender identity
increased from 189 last year to 227 this
year. Meanwhile, there were 1,429 victims
targeted for their sexual orientation in 2019
compared to 1,445 victims last year.

Law enforcement investigating a suspicious death here said Friday they did not have new information to release more than two days after the incident. Greg Boosalis, an FBI spokesperson in Minneapolis, said authorities would not identify the victim.
The main elements of the regionwide search for two suspects in a fatal shooting in Belcourt, N.D., early Wednesday were called off by noon, apparently because law enforcement authorities were certain of the location of the suspects and the safety of the public, according to law enforcement sources.
A jury has found a North Dakota man guilty of attacking a tribal security officer with a butter knife. Thirty-one-year-old Jason Azure, of Belcourt, had pleaded not guilty in federal court to assault with a dangerous weapon.
A North Dakota man has been sentenced to nearly six years in prison for having sex with a woman who was sleeping. Twenty-five-year-old Nodin Azure, of Belcourt, pleaded guilty in January to a federal charge of sexual abuse.
A Belcourt, N.D., man has been sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison for sexual abuse, U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon’s office said Friday.
Nodin J. Azure, 25, must also pay $3,100 in restitution. He pleaded guilty Jan. 23.
A Belcourt, N.D., man was sentenced Monday for a hitting two other men in the head, one with a metal bar and one with a sledgehammer, at the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation, the Department of Justice said Monday.
Koleman J. Gourneau, 30, of Belcourt, N.D., was sentenced Monday to four years and nine months in federal prison on a charge of involuntary manslaughter, according to Timothy Q. Purdon, U.S. Attorney for North Dakota.

Plesetsk, Russia: Russia successfully launched another GLONASS satellite on 3rd October 2011. The latest launch brings the total number of satellites in the GLONASS satellite navigation system to 24 and also improves its accuracy to 5 metres.
The Soyuz-2.1B carrier rocket with the Glonass-M navigation satellite was launched on early Monday from the Plesetsk Space Center in northern Russia, Space Forces spokesman Colonel Alexei Zolotukhin said.
The launch was initially scheduled for Saturday, but it was postponed since the wind force exceeded the characteristics, allowed at the altitude of 7-10 kilometres.
Glonass is Russia’s answer to the US Global Positioning System, or GPS, and is designed for both military and civilian use. Both systems allow users to determine their positions to within a few metres.
Previous versions of GLONASS had an accuracy within 50 metres.
The Russian aerospace industry has faced a series of misfortunes over the last nine months, including the loss of three GLONASS satellites, a prized Express-AM4 satellite and the fall of the Progress M-12M cargo in south Siberia’s Altai Republic.
The loss of GLONASS satellites alone cost the state 4.3 billion rubles (USD 152.2 million).

Background Different pathogenetic pathways have been proposed for neuropsychiatric (NP) manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Objective To describe the patient characteristics of a large cohort of patients with SLE with NP manifestations (NPSLE) in a single centre and to review whether these and other data are compatible with immune-mediated mechanisms.
Methods A total of 212 patients were identified from MRI scans of the brain ordered for suspected NPSLE. Data were collected from the medical records. NP syndromes were classified according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) nomenclature and case definitions.
Results 155 patients fulfilled the criteria for SLE. In 102 patients NP manifestations were attributed to SLE itself (primary NPSLE) whereas, in the remaining patients, the NP symptoms were due to other causes. The median age at the time of SLE diagnosis in patients with primary NPSLE was 27.5 years and the median duration prior to NPSLE was 2.8 years. Forty patients (39%) had a NP manifestation in the first year of the disease. Cerebrovascular disease, cognitive dysfunction, seizures and headache were the most prevalent syndromes. In 47% of patients with primary NPSLE the MRI scan of the brain showed no abnormalities.
Conclusions Most NP manifestations in SLE occur early in the disease. This finding, as well as data from quantitative imaging studies and recent pathological studies, point to an immune-mediated pathogenesis.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a cancer associated with high mortality (accounting for 3.1/100,000 deaths per year in Brazil in 2013) and a high frequency of amplification in the expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Treatment with the EGFR inhibitor cetuximab leads to drug resistance in patients with OSCC due to unknown mechanisms. Galectin‑3 (Gal‑3) is a β‑galactoside binding lectin that regulates multiple signaling pathways in cells. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Gal‑3 in cetuximab‑resistant (cet‑R) OSCC. The OSCC HSC3 cell line was selected to establish a mouse xenograft model, which was treated with cetuximab to induce resistance. Subsequently, a Gal‑3 inhibitor was used to treat cet‑R tumors, and the tumor volume was monitored. The expression of Gal‑3, phosphorylated (p)‑ERK1/2 and p‑Akt was assessed using immunohistochemistry. The combined effect of cetuximab and the Gal‑3 inhibitor on HSC3 tumor xenografts was also investigated. HSC3 cells were cultured in vitro to investigate the regulatory effects of Gal‑3 on ERK1/2 and Akt via western blotting. In addition, the effects of the Gal‑3 inhibitor on the proliferation, colony formation, invasion and apoptosis of HSC3 cells were investigated by performing Cell Counting Kit‑8, colony formation, Transwell and apoptosis assays, respectively. In cet‑R OSCC tumors, increased expression of Gal‑3, p‑ERK1/2 and p‑Akt was observed. Further research demonstrated that Gal‑3 regulated the expression of both ERK1/2 and Akt in HSC3 cells by promoting phosphorylation. Moreover, the Gal‑3 inhibitor decreased the proliferation and invasion, but increased the apoptosis of cet‑R HSC3 cells. In addition, the Gal‑3 inhibitor suppressed the growth of cet‑R tumors. Collectively, the results indicated that the Gal‑3 inhibitor and cetuximab displayed a synergistic inhibitory effect on OSCC tumors. In summary, the present study demonstrated that Gal‑3 may serve an important role in cet‑R OSCC. The combination of cetuximab and the Gal‑3 inhibitor may display a synergistic antitumor effect, thereby inhibiting the development of cetuximab resistance in OSCC.

Triveni Digital, a subsidiary of LG Electronics (LGE), has announced the release of its new Ensignia™ MAP (Media Access Point) product, the latest addition to the company's turnkey suite of Ensignia Digital Signage products designed to optimize network usage and reduce costs.
Designed for large-scale digital signage deployments, the Ensignia MAP receiver/player overturns the player-per-screen paradigm — achieving a redesigned cost point for digital signage deployments, and allowing cost-effective storage and transmission of content from a centralized location to a large number of displays.
Ensignia MAP can be customized to deliver any number of channels, each to uniquely targeted displays in the network, and allows for simple, centralized dynamic content creation — making it an ideal revenue-enhancing solution in any application. The Ensignia MAP system sits between the transport network and the many screens within a large digital signage installation to ensure that the right media is delivered to the right display at the right time.
"Digital signage is becoming increasingly popular for delivering high-quality, high-definition content to target audiences in a broad range of applications, from retail displays to advertising, education, health care, and tourism, among others," said Ralph Bachofen, director of product management and marketing at Triveni Digital. "Until now, digital signage solutions relied on a one-player-per-screen model that made mass deployment a cost-prohibitive proposal. Ensignia MAP breaks that one-to-one paradigm, delivering multiple channels to multiple displays and significantly reducing the cost per receive site."
The scalable solution allows users to grow their digital signage installations along with the demands of their business. Furthermore, the unique technology behind Ensignia MAP allows delivery of content to a large number of receivers without any impact on the head-end server hardware.
As with earlier releases of the Ensignia solution, Ensignia MAP provides simple templates for content creation, scheduling, and maintenance. Customized screen layouts can be configured to meet the needs of advanced users. The software accommodates all third-party content creation tools, so users can select the product that best suits their workflows, knowledge, and experience.
More information about the Ensignia Digital Signage product line and other Triveni Digital products is available at www.trivenidigital.com

The desire of e:three is to be a Gospel-centered student ministry.
The three "e's" stand for:
"Where we ENGAGE with God’s Word to be EQUIPPED by God’s Word so that we can ENDURE because of God’s Word"
We desire to be Gospel-centered in everything that we do. During our main Wednesday night worship services, we usually start our nights with some awesome fun and fellowship; then we transition into our music set. Following our music, there is a Gospel-centered expository sermon preached to our students, which is followed-up by a small-group discussion.
Why preach to students?
Because we believe that the Gospel is what transforms the heart of a person.
Our Sunday morning small group meeting gives an opportunity to gather together and discuss the difficult topics that we encounter daily. We seek to foster an environment that lets our students speak openly and think deeply as we seek answers through Gospel-centered thinking.
If you want to know more about how you or your student can get involved with e:three, contact the church office at (870)887-5031.

I'm buying a whole life insurance for my son, age 25. I want to add on TPD and ECI. Is multipay or single ECI better? Which company is better for multipay and which for ECI?
He already has a whole life plan since young by it is the old plan with no ECI, just CI. Is multi-pay very hard to claim? If not, should we buy him a plan and he buys another later when he starts working? The he can have 2 different ECI plan.
Hi Lim, you should work with an advisor to help you understand your options in the market.
Multi claim policies that are available to be purchased for whole of life are incredibly expensive because the risk is already priced in.
In fact, if managed well, a single claim ECI payout would be partially used and partially invested so that if another one strikes, you'll be prepared from your own self insurance.
I'd suggest getting a single claim all stage CI rider for the whole life policy coupled with a term multi claim CI till age 70/75.
These are possible answers to your queries
1) Is multipay or single ECI better? - Multipay is slightly more expensive than a single ECI. Many feel it's value. Me included
2) Which company is better for multipay and which for ECI? - these are some solutions
3) old plan with no ECI, just CI - getting early CI coverage for him will be meaningful now. It covers short term loss of income well
4) Is multi-pay very hard to claim? - Claims are based on condition stated and definition is the same as early CI.
5)** we buy him a plan and he buys another later - Lock in the plan benefits now and the premium at his current age. Then he ONLY needs to start buying more coverage when he has a life stage like marriage and/or mortgage liability.**
Hope it helps. Look for a qualified adviser to run through the pros and cons of the various solutions and the stages of multi-CI claims. If I can be of help drop me an email at [email protected].
Numerically, multiple pay is cheaper as they are partially accelerated products as compared to singl...

- Experts projecting a 15.8 million bale U.S. cotton crop
- Tentative Texas estimate
• Growers in the Southwest states of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas could harvest as much as 5.8 million bales of cotton, according to Carl Anderson, Texas A&M Extension professor emeritus.
• Cotton economist O.A. Cleveland projects 4.3 million bales and 3.8 million bales of cotton production in the Southeast and Mid-South, respectively.
• Cotton analyst Jarral Neeper projects near record to record yields for California, thanks to nearly ideal cotton-producing weather.
PARTICIPATING IN the 2012 Cotton Roundtable in July, are, from left, Joe Nicosia, CEO of Allenberg Cotton Co.; Joe O’Neill, former president and CEO of the New York Board of Trade (now the Intercontinental Exchange); Pat McClatchy, executive director of the Ag Market Network; Mike Stevens, cotton analyst; Carl Anderson, Extension specialist emeritus, Texas A&M University; Ben Jackson, president and CEO, Intercontinental Exchange; Jarral Neeper, president of Calcot; and O.A. Cleveland, professor emeritus, Mississippi State University.
Tentative Texas estimate
Anderson’s production estimate for Texas is a tentative 5.3 million bales. “The crop for the next two months needs to be watched closely for changes in growing conditions.”
Oklahoma growers could produce around 436,000 bales on 330,000 acres. The crop is mostly in fair to good condition.
Kansas growers planted 55,000 acres that are in fair to good condition and may produce 64,000 bales. Growers in the Southwest states of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas might harvest around 5.8 million bales, according to Anderson.
Southeast and Mid-South
The Southeast planted about 2.7 million acres to cotton this season, down about 700,000 acres from the previous year. The crop got off to a very good start, according to O.A. Cleveland, professor emeritus, Mississippi State University. “It slowed a bit when it got a little dry, but it’s still ahead of normal.”
Cleveland says the crop is “a little better than average crop, which means the yield will be close to 800 pounds. We’re looking at about 4.3 million bales coming out of the Southeast.”
Based on USDA numbers, the Mid-South is down only 300,000 acres from last year, having planted 2.1 million acres, “which many think is between 150,000 acres and 200,000 acres too high.”
The Mid-South crop “got off to a good start, probably the fastest start ever,” Cleveland said. Like in the Southeast, the crop slowed down on dry weather, “but has come back. It’s above average. We’ve had excellent moisture during July.”
Cleveland expects Mid-South yields of a little better than average “maybe as high as 900 pounds, which would produce about 3.8 million bales of cotton. I’m sticking with that number even though I think that acreage is going to come down.”
Jarral Neeper, president of Calcot, is projecting record to near-record yields for California this season, noting that the outlook for the Far West cotton crop at this time has been described as “scary good.”
“We didn’t off to the best start. We had some trouble getting the crop in the ground. But we’ve had unbelievable weather. We haven’t had the extreme heat, and we’ve had nice cool nights.”
Neeper projects California yields at a record 1,660 pounds for upland cotton and 1,577 pounds for Pima, which would produce a crop of 1.2 million bales – 512,000 bales of upland and 703,000 bales of Pima.
Neeper estimates a yield of 1,598 pounds per acre for Arizona upland, producing a crop of 659,000 bales. Pima production will fall on reduced acres, Neeper noted. “Arizona will produce only 8,000 bales of Pima, for a total of 667,000 bales.”
That brings total production in the Far West to 1.9 million bales “which is probably on the high side,” Neeper said.
(In other recent news, Chinese cotton reserves are supposedly helping support market prices. You can read that article by clicking here. On the other hand, record cotton carryover is hampering price upturns. That information can be found here).

Sponsor licence revocation
A sponsor licence can be revoked which means that an employer can no longer sponsor any migrant workers. Once it is revoked there will be a period that the employer cannot apply for a new licence. This is known as the ‘cooling-off period’
This period normally lasts 12 months and the Home Office can revoke a licence in the following circumstances:
If false information was provided in the initial application
If the company is failing to do the necessary right to work checks
If the company is employing illegal workers
If the company employs an individual who does not have the appropriate skill level for the position
If the company does not provide the required information that has been requested
If the salary is not being paid to the candidate that is on the Certificate of Sponsorship.
If the sponsor licence is revoked then the Home Office put together an Action Plan. The Action Plan normally lists all the recommendations that should be made by the employer.
Our lawyer Oksana Demyanchuk recently was able to re-apply for Sponsor Licence, as previous one was revoked due to the change in company ownership and change in company structure.

NO.1 STATION are the vanguards of a brand new generation of Blue Beat music; music derived from the classic dance beats of traditional Jamaican Ska, Rocksteady and early Reggae; beats that were known simply as Blue Beat amongst the Rudies, Mods and other followers of the sixties UK dance scene, and now a term revived by Marcus Downbeat to describe the contemporary sounds of this new music.
An eight piece band consisting of a driving rhythm section, blistering horns, and melodic blues vocals, No.1 Station get the crowds on their feet, rocking to the beat wherever they perform.
Formed from the conception of Marcus Downbeat – a long-time Lee Perry collaborator and member of the Upsetters. No.1 Station have been popular favourites on the London and UK underground scene over the past number of years, and supported Roxy Music on their first UK Arena tour which included dates at the O2 Arena London. No.1 Station have also played many festivals including Glastonbury Festival.
No.1 Station revived the original Blue Beat Label and released a number of vinyl singles on the imprint. Their last album – Boss Beat – is regarded as a contemporary classic and has received enormous critical acclaim and extensive radio play.
The band played 3 live sessions for BBC Radio 2 and Mark Lamarr, who described them as “The UK’s Premiere Ska band."
The launch of the latest NO.1 STATION album The Blue Beat Sessions took place at the Mayfair Arts Club London.
The next single from The Blue Beat Sessions will be released on August 18th 2014, let's all get ready to "Boogie"! It's called Laurel's Boogie.

Long before my family became the fish fanatics they are today, the only fish I could get any of them to eat was Beer-Battered Cod. All fish lovers start somewhere! These days, I only fry fish at home once or twice a year. Even for me, the
process is a little overwhelming. Going in, I just have to accept that I’ll be able to smell the cooking oil for a day or so afterward, and I’ll have to deal with the unpleasantness of disposing properly of said oil. I’d argue these small inconveniences are totally worth it.
There are three keys to a great fish fry. First is a light, crispy coating. Don’t open your beer (or other bubbly liquid) until just before you use it to maximize the air bubbles in the batter. Second is temperature control (with a thermometer). Oil that’s too hot is likely to burn fried food; too cool and that same food will be greasy. Finally, there’s the choice of fish. I like the big flakes and clean taste of wild-caught Alaskan cod, but you can get equally good results with this recipe using other similarly textured white fish, such as catfish or tilapia.
- canola or peanut oil, for frying
- 2 lbs. wild-caught Alaskan cod (or similar fish), cut into 10–12 evenly sized portions
- 1 ½ tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp. freshly ground Kowalski’s black peppercorns (more or less to taste)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. Kowalski’s smoked Spanish paprika
- 2 tsp. seasoned salt
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 10 ½ oz. pale lager-style beer
- sea salt, for finishing
- lemon wedges and tartar sauce, for serving
Place a rack on a baking sheet; place in oven and heat to 170 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a deep pot, heat 2–3″ of oil to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Pat cod dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper, and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, paprika and seasoned salt; mix in egg, then slowly whisk in beer until batter is no longer lumpy. Working one piece at a time, dip fish into batter, then carefully place in hot oil; cook until fish is golden-brown (3–4 minutes). Carefully remove from oil and place on paper towels or a rack to drain; sprinkle with sea salt. Move each piece of fish to the preheated rack in the preheated oven as it is ready to keep them warm while frying the rest of the fish. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

Our founder, Jarvis Herring’s first immersion in teams was while he played for the Suwanee Bulldogs
High School football team. His hard work and determination propelled him to the University of Florida,
where he played for the Gators football team. At the University of Florida he was introduced to
“Bullgators” – the top level athletic donors. Years later when he started his own business, he considered
his starting point, as well as those whose generosity helped him, when choosing a name.
Finding the Bullgators example of contribution to community something to aspire to, Jarvis determined
that as his business grew, he too would give back. Currently for every commercial project that Bullgator
Painting and Waterproofing is awarded, a portion of the profits are donated to charity. Recipients range
from established charities, to athletic teams, to random acts of kindness – paying it forward.

Iodine deficiency (ID) is associated with increased prevalence of goiter, increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, and is the world's leading cause of intellectual deficits. Iodine nutritional status of a population is assessed by measurements of urinary iodine concentrations which are also used to define, indicate, survey and monitor iodine deficiency and consequently its treatment. Several methods are available for urinary iodine determination. Discussed here are some of the limitations and controversies related to urinary iodine determinations, and recent findings with emphasis on measurements of urinary iodine concentrations in children and during pregnancy.

Search - "tools"
Here's my piece of advice for new devs out there:
1 - Pick one language to learn first and stick with it, untill you grasp some solid fundamentals. (Variables, functions, classes, namespaces, scope, at least)
2 - Pick an IDE, and stick with it for now. Don't worry about tools yet. Comment everything you're coding. The important thing is to comment why you wrote it, and not what it does. Research git and start using version control, even when coding by yourself alone.
3 - Practice, pratice and pratice. If you got stuck, try reading the language docs first and see if you can figure it out yourself. If all else fails, then go to google and stackoverflow. Avoid copying the solution, type it all and try to understand it.
4 - After you feel you need to go to the next level, research best practices first, and start to apply them to your code. Try to make it modular as it grows. Then learn about tools, preprocessors and frameworks.
5 - Always keep studying. Never give up. We all feel that we have no idea of what we are doing sometimes. That's normal. You will understand eventually. ALWAYS KEEP STUDYING.9
boss: please look into tools that do X.
fullstackchris: Ah, here's a solution we can use!
boss: I don't want to use it because it is too complicated.
fullstackchris: ok, that's fine with me...
[one week later] boss: oh I found this nice site that does X, can we do X?
fullstackchris: YES, THAT'S EXACTLY THE SOLUTION I ALREADY FOUND, *AFTER* YOU ASKED ME TO LOOK FOR A SOLUTION, AND IN THE END YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT. OH HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND?!?!
Worst fight I've had with a co-worker?
Had my share of 'disagreements', but one that seemed like it could have gone to blows was a developer, 'T', that tried to man-splain me how ADO.Net worked with SQLServer.
<T walks into our work area>
T: "Your solution is going to cause a lot of problems in SQLServer"
Me: "No, its not, your solution is worse. For performance, its better to use ADO.Net connection pooling."
T: "NO! Every single transaction is atomic! SQLServer will prioritize the operation thread, making the whole transaction faster than what you're trying to do."
<T goes on and on about threads, made up nonsense about priority queues, on and on>
Me: "No it won't, unless you change something in the connection string, ADO.Net will utilize connection pooling and use the same SPID, even if you explicitly call Close() on the connection. You are just wasting code thinking that works."
T walks over, stands over me (he's about 6.5", 300+ pounds), maybe 6 inches away
T: "I've been doing.net development for over 10 years. I know what I'm doing!"
I turn my chair to face him, look up, cross my arms.
Me: "I know I'm kinda new to this, but let me show you something..."
<I threw together a C# console app, simple connect, get some data, close the connection>
Me: "I'll fire up SQLProfiler and we can see the actual connection SPID and when sql server closes the SPID....see....the connection to SQLServer is still has an active SPID after I called Close. When I exit the application, SQLServer will drop the SPD....tada...see?"
T: "Wha...what is that...SQLProfiler? Is that some kind of hacking tool? DBAs should know about that!"
Me: "It's part of the SQLServer client tools, its on everyone's machine, including yours."
T: "Doesn't prove a damn thing! I'm going to do my own experiment and prove my solution works."
Me: "Look forward to seeing what you come up with... and you haven't been doing.net for 10 years. I was part of the team that reviewed your resume when you were hired. You're going to have to try that on someone else."
About 10 seconds later I hear him from across the room slam his

Precious metals rose Monday, registering gains ranging from nearly 0.1% for gold to 1.3% for both platinum and palladium. Gold closed at an almost two-week high.
Gold for August delivery climbed $1.30 to settle at $1,413.15 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The settlement was the highest since July 3 when gold ended at $1,420.90 an ounce for a more than six-year high.
"Gold price action has been pretty choppy, but I could see us traversing $1,380-$1,440 from now until the Fed meeting in end-July, perhaps even more than once," Reuters quoted Tai Wong, head of base and precious metals derivatives trading at BMO.
Gold futures ranged from a low of $1,409.30 to a high of $1,421.60. They rose last week by 0.9%.
Posting their fifth gain in six sessions, silver for September delivery tacked on 12.9 cents, or 0.9%, to settle at $15.365 an ounce. Silver futures traded between $15.18 and $15.39. They moved 1.6% higher last week.
In other precious metals futures prices Monday:
October platinum added $10.60 to $845.20 an ounce, ranging from $832.30 to $850.60.
- Palladium for September delivery advanced $20.50 to $1,562.90 an ounce, trading between $1,540.60 and $1,568.90. Last Wednesday, palladium notched a record settlement of $1,588.10 an ounce.
Last week, platinum advanced 2.9% and palladium declined 1.4%.
London Precious Metals Prices
In comparing earlier fixed London gold and silver prices from Friday PM to Monday PM:
- Gold rose $4.80 or 0.3%, to $1,412.40 an ounce.
- Silver added 18 cents, or 1.2%, to $15.32 an ounce.
LBMA platinum and palladium prices are available on the LBMA’s website with a delay of midnight.
In LBMA results last week, gold gained 1.4% as the others logged declines totaling 0.5% for silver, 0.8% for platinum, and 1.3% for palladium.

The intelligent assistance systems for the Liebherr wheel loaders support the operator in their daily work. These include active personnel detection at the rear, a new joystick steering system and an integral tyre pressure monitoring system. These and other assistance systems enable Liebherr to offer holistic solutions to optimise safety and comfort and increase performance.
All systems have been developed by Liebherr and are therefore fully integrated in the machine control. It is important for operators to be in a comfortable and safe operating area, where they can concentrate longer and work more efficiently. These useful assistance systems for Liebherr wheel loaders reduce the risk of accidents and their easy operation enables safe and efficient machine operation.
Adaptive working lighting
The adaptive working lighting is an intelligent light control system optionally available for the Liebherr L 526 - L 586 XPower wheel loaders. The system adjusts the brightness of headlights according to the application. The various lighting components are only switched on when they are needed - a fully automated process.
With the help of modern light sensors, the light output of the LED headlights automatically adjusts to the position of the lift arms, the working attachment and the wheel loader’s articulation angle. This enables uniform illumination of the entire operating area. An additional headlight on the front section of the vehicle and automatic dimming of the front working headlights ensure that the operating area is ideally illuminated at all times to prevent the operator from dazzling themselves. This also reduces reflections and shadows. Ideal visibility conditions thus ensure a high level of safety and enable the operator to work comfortably and without fatigue, especially in the dark and at night.
Roof camera for front area monitoring
The roof camera, which is optionally available for the Liebherr L 526 - L 586 XPower wheel loaders, offers the operator an extended field of vision and excellent visibility of the front operating area of the wheel loader. It is used, especially in applications with large working attachments (e.g. a light-weight or high dump bucket) for better and faster recognition of people and obstacles in the front area of the machine. The operator can immediately identify possible sources of danger on a separate display in the operator’s cab. This increases safety and protects against accidents involving personal injury. In addition, the improved visibility into high containers, trucks and hoppers enables more efficient loading and feeding and increases productivity.
Everything in view – the Skyview 360° system has been fundamentally revised and now has impressive high-definition image quality. The system offers an overview of the whole area around the machine, so that potential hazards can be identified earlier and accidents prevented.
The optional Skyview 360° assistance system for the Liebherr L 526 - L 586 XPower wheel loaders simplifies monitoring of the machine environment. Skyview 360° offers the operator a 360-degree view around the wheel loader at all times, with four additional cameras covering the entire machine environment. The images from these cameras are combined to form a bird’s eye view of the machine environment which is shown on a separate display in the operator’s cab. A glance at the additional display therefore allows the operator to see any obstacles from a bird’s eye view, 360° around the wheel loader. This enables the operator to quickly see and classify all danger areas and blind spots, increasing safety and productivity.
Skyview 360° assistance systems and the active personnel detection at the rear can be combined. They offer the operator safe and comfortable operation of the wheel loader and the best possible monitoring of the entire machine environment.
The joystick steering integrated in the operator’s seat and optionally available for Liebherr L 526 - L 586 XPower wheel loaders is a new, innovative and improved steering system. This means that all working and driving functions of the machine can be controlled with precision and a high degree of sensitivity. The new joystick steering system enables easy and fast manoeuvring. In addition, the new steering system offers high steering and vehicle control for reverse travel.
The new joystick steering solution gives the operator precise information about the wheel loader’s steering direction. This is because the joystick’s orientation corresponds exactly to the current wheel loader articulation angle.
In addition, the intelligent force feedback ensures both smooth and safe steering. This enables precise and safe operation at any speed and in all terrain conditions.
For the Liebherr L 526 – L 586 XPower wheel loaders, the operator’s cab is optionally available without a steering wheel and column, i.e. only with joystick steering. Above all, an operator’s cab without a steering wheel and column offers more space and an improved view of the working attachment and the operating area. In addition, it is not necessary to reach between the steering and control units, which increases safety and comfort. This offers the operator optimum conditions for comfortable and productive working.

Understanding your audience composition in terms of gender, age, and interests lets you also understand the kinds of creative content you need to develop, the kinds of media buys you should make, and the kinds of audiences you need to develop for marketing and remarketing campaigns.
Open the Demographics and Interests reports
To open the Demographics and Interests reports:
- Sign in to Google Analytics.
- Navigate to your view.
- Open Reports.
- Select Audience > Demographics or Audience > Interests.
Understand gender, age, and interests composition
Use the Demographics Overview report to start with a high-level view of your audience (male vs. female), and then drill in for details.
In this example:
- There is a 2:1 ratio of male to female users.
- There is also a 2:1 ratio of 18-34 year olds to all other age groups combined.
If you drill in to Gender and then into male, you see that the age ratio is consistent across gender.
In this example, there is a 2:1 ratio of 18-34-year-old males to all other males.
Drill in to each of the age brackets to see data for the Other Category dimension. In this example, drilling in to each of the top two age brackets, shows “Arts & Entertainment” as the top interest for both age brackets, while the second and third most popular interests differ across the age brackets.
Target high-value users
Identifying the demographics of valuable and potentially valuable customers is useful for targeting campaigns and building audiences for remarketing. For an ecommerce site, you might want to identify user groups with the highest ecommerce conversion rate or revenue. For a content-focused site, you might want to identify user groups with the highest engagement (for example, as measured by session duration or pageviews/screenviews per session).
The Age, Gender, and Interests reports all include engagement and conversion metrics. You can start from any of these reports to build a picture of your high-value customers.
In this example, the Age report shows that 18-24 and 25-34-year-olds together make up the majority of users, but the 25-34 segment contributes the most revenue and has the highest conversion rate.
If you drill in to that age group to see how it breaks down by gender, you see less disparity in the volume of sessions (still 3:1 in favor of male), but a much larger disparity in revenue (58:1). The conversion rate is 2:1 male to female, but the revenue per transaction is 9:1 in favor of male users.
So, in this example, 25-34-year-old men represent the highest-value customers.
A next step might be to identify the highest converting interest categories. You might find, for example, that Technophiles, Music and TV Lovers, News Junkies, Gamers, and Shutterbugs collectively represent the users who bring in the most revenue. So, 25-34-year-old men with these interests are the users on whom you want to focus.
You can drill in to each of these categories to further validate your findings on age and gender. Drill in to News Junkies & Avid Readers since it has the highest revenue and conversion rate.
In this example, the 25-34 segment of News Junkies & Avid Readers accounts for the vast majority of revenue and has the highest conversion rate. To see gender breakdown, drill in to the age bracket.
In keeping with the earlier findings, men in this segment outspend women by 79:1.
With this information, you can target campaigns and create audiences for your most-valuable demographic groups.
Eliminate ad spend on low-value users
You can use the same kinds of analysis to find low-value audiences that you used to find your high-value audiences: rather than look for high revenue and conversion rates, you simply look for the opposite.
Once you’ve identified those low-value customers, you can then exclude them from seeing your ads.
Segment reports along business lines
The two previous examples illustrated how to use these reports to evaluate your users at a macro level. These next examples illustrate how to use Segments to understand your users at micro levels in the context of your business. These examples look at data from the perspective of ecommerce businesses that need to understand users in the context of which products they buy, and from the perspective of publishers who need to understand sessions in the context of which content users consume.
If you are running an ecommerce business, you can segment by a number of dimensions like Product, Product Category, Product Brand, or Product SKU to see the demographic composition of your purchasing audience.
Apply the Segment to the Demographics Overview report.
You can see the age and gender breakdown for the Sessions (the key metric) initiated by users who

MEDWAY – After news broke earlier this week that all Medway High seniors of both genders may be forced to wear the same color graduation gown at the Class of 2015's June 7 graduation, administrators, students and parents at a school council meeting Thursday agreed the issue needs further conversation.
Meghan Gallagher, president of the senior class, said switching to non-gender-specific graduation gowns is a “no-brainer” when she considers how some of her classmates who are already struggling with gender identity might be even more uncomfortable at graduation, where some are already faced with a “nervous pit in their stomach.”
Gallagher, reading from a statement, said after hearing some argue to keep the traditional gender-specific gowns, she has learned “people are more confined to their rigid ways than previously thought.”
A student could be shocking their family or being dishonest to themselves if they are forced to chose a gender-specific color, Gallagher said.
“As your name is called to walk across the stage, should you need to wonder what everyone’s thinking about you?” she asked.
Principal Doug Dias said earlier this week the primary reason the school is considering moving from the traditional white and blue robes for girls and boys, respectively, is due to a 2011 law.
The law, An Act Relative to Gender Identity of 2011, identifies transgender and gender nonconforming students as needing special protection from discrimination.
In addition to the law, enacted in 2012, the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has released an advisory stating that school districts should evaluate gender-based policies, rules and practices.
“Gender-based policies, rules, and practices can have the effect of marginalizing, stigmatizing, and excluding students, whether they are gender nonconforming or not,” the advisory states.
The advisory also states that requiring students to wear “gender-based garb” at graduation is a potential violation of that law.
An after-school assembly was held Monday afternoon to inform seniors of the potential change.
One parent, Kelly O’Rourke, said the biggest issue has been “communication,” and said the entire senior class wasn’t represented at the Monday assembly because some couldn't make it to the meeting, which was scheduled earlier in the day.
“I think the class was blindsided to some degree,” she said.
O’Rourke added that students who voiced any opposition were “painted as being intolerant and unaccepting."
Other parents are also opposed, and some said a unisex robe could just draw more attention to the few transgender or gender nonconforming students.
Another senior student leader, Cameron Swan, the class' liaison to the School Committee, said he has heard an equal number of opinions from both sides of the argument, but it seems like the majority of students are opposed to the idea because those in opposition are "a whole lot louder than people that are for it."
"There are students on both sides, it's just matter of one side going about it in a separate way," he said.
Rumors that the decision has already been made began circulating around school earlier this week after Franklin High decided to go with unisex gowns, Mike Rubin, Medway's Dean of Academics and Students Affairs said.
The Monday assembly was to “put an end” to “verbal trash” that Gallagher and other student leaders were facing earlier in the day, Rubin said, adding that gowns are not ordered until March and conversation with the class about graduation doesn't begin until late January.
Dias said there need to be more conversations between administration and the senior class on the topic.
“This issue a struck a nerve and deserves further conversation,” he said.

World energy consumption is constantly on the rise. This increase in demand will require the development of new power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure as a response. Inter-country connections and smart grids will need to be stepped up to optimise supply from infrastructure based on consumption. VINCI Energies works alongside its customers to offer them comprehensive services across the entire high, medium and low voltage electricity system “before the meter”.
Demand for mobility-dedicated infrastructure is also very high due to demographic pressure, increased urbanisation and the public’s concern about decreasing the impact human activity has on our environment. This situation requires constant upgrading and creation of equipment for urban and transport infrastructure (roads, public transport, airports and ports).
This has also led to the development of tramways and clean transport systems in city centres.
Infrastructures: Witness the expertise of VINCI Energies' business units
Faced with the growing demand for energy and the need to develop public and rail transport, among other areas the Group contributes in the following fields:
modernisation and development of power generation, transmission, transformation and distribution (thermal power plants, renewable energy sources, as well as reinforcement and securing of networks) (power lines and stations, etc.).
transport networks and storage of hydrocarbons, natural gas and oil products.
- water treatment networks and facilities (drinking water and wastewater), such as pumping stations, reservoirs, water distribution and waste treatment networks.
- roll-out of urban and inter-urban transport infrastructures, rail transport (subways, tramways, trains), roads, tunnels, harbours and airports, and also electric vehicle charging points.
- development of “customised” lighting solutions, dynamic urban equipment, festive illuminations and architectural lighting, and connected object supervision and remote management systems.
VINCI Energies’ combined areas of expertise enable it to be a partner in permanent touch with their customers and their ecosystems.
This is demonstrated in the solutions implemented by the VINCI Energies’ network brands, such as Omexom that offers an entire range of turnkey solutions for the “Power & Grid” sector and Sotécnica hat covers lighting equipment and solutions.

The function and the circuit diagram of the USB Ultra IR receiver v2.0
The USB Ultra IR receiver v2.0 functions …
First I would like to explain here briefly, what the USB Ultra IR v2.0 receiver makes at all.
When the TSOP31238 receives a RC5 coded infrared signal, it gets on the one hand directly to pin 7 of the programmable ATtiny45-20PU Atmel IC.
This Atmel IC, is clocked in the circuit with a 12 MHz quartz and provides a communication between the Infrared receiver and the PC, so that this signal can being processed by infrared receiver programs like Girder.
The 1.5 K resistor is as Pullup resistor between the negative data line and the 5 V power supply of the USB connetor to stabilize the logical signal.
The two 3V6 Zener diodes with the 68 ohm resistors limit the voltage at both USB data lines Data+ and DATA-, so that they finally only get approx. 3.3 V instead of 5 V from the Atmel IC.
Further a red low-current (power saving) control LED is soldered with a 1.5K resistor between DATA (Pin3) and +5 V VCC (Pin2) of the TSOP infrared sensor.
The signal goes however not only to the PC, but also to the second ATtiny13V-10PU Atmel IC, which have to be programmed with a special firmware before and has the following function:
– If the Jumper J3 is put in, the AVR IC save the valid RC5 code of an infrared remote control in the integrated EEPROM to compare it. The desired key on the remote control for switching on and switching off the PC is thus programmed. As soon as a valid RC5 signal of the remote control arrives, a green low current LED with a 1.5K resistance and the opto coupler with a 390 ohm resistor is supplied with power.
– When the Jumper is then taken off, the small 8-bits AVR RISC processor compares all incoming signals with the stored signal of the EEPROM and if the two signals are equal, the opto coupler is supplied with power.
Unfortunately the ATTINY13V-10PU Atmel IC cannot be programmed any longer as simply as the AT90S2323 IC in the USB infrared receiver guidance, since Atmel changed some special Fuse bits which prevents a programming of the firmware with conventional ISP prommer (ISP = in system prommer). For this reason I program the firmware with a more complex Atmel programmer directly on the ICs and offer them programmed as kit in the Fanshop. Here I set also all fuse bits that this Atmel IC needs no external quartz or resonator.
The opto-coupler and the solution to switch the PC on and off …
After careful consideration and numerous tests I decided to pass the switching signal of the Atmel IC over a 390 ohms resistor to an opto coupler, which has the task, to connect its 2-pole output (pin 4 & pin 5), as soon as the input pins (pin 1 & pin 2) got the switching voltage. This output could be connected e.g. with a WoL (Wake on Lan) connector, where we can also get the 5 Volt power. However, then one would not have the ingenious advantage to additionally switch its PC off.
For this reason I decided for better solution, where the output of the opto coupler is connected directly with the PC power Button parallel to the power Button connection of the motherboard. The circuit get its necessary 5 V power supply over an USB cable, because current ATX Mainboards supplies the USB port also with power when the PC is switched off if this is activated by a Jumper (+5VSB) or in the BIOS. If this is not the case, or the PC has no necessary PowerOn feature, it’s possible to get the 5 Volt power over a small external 5 Volt regulated power supply unit. To separate the 5 V USB power supply you could cut, for example, the VCC connection from Pin8 of the ATTINY45 to Pin8 of the ATTINY13V or connect the complete circuit simply to an active USB Hub with external power supply to supply the circuit continuously with power. Alternatively it would be possible to get it from the ATX power supply connector directly. However a wrong wiring would forgive no errors, therefore I would not like to continue here with a detailed explanation. A PC ATX PSU pinout can be found in our Forum – e.g. in this PC power supply pinout topic.
It’s easy to check if the USB port gets power when the PC is switched off, with an optical Mouse at the USB port. Because the lighting of the optical scanning continues in this case if the PC is switched off. Of course it’s also possible

Since the output of the solar panel photovoltaic array is the input of the motor water pump device, the volt-ampere characteristics of the two parts need to be well matched, and the building makes the photoelectric pump system run smoothly and efficiently. The photovoltaic array and the motor water pump are connected through the control part, and there are three basic connection methods. The simplest is the direct coupling mode. The main function of the control part is to turn on the circuit to start the pump and disconnect the circuit to stop pumping water. The second way is a system with a battery. The basic function of the control part is to control the charge and discharge of the electric ground. The third way is to automatically adjust the output of the input and input according to the intelligent electronic device, such as the maximum power controller, so that the PV array and the motor pump unit can be optimally matched. In addition, there is a two-stage square matrix connection control method that automatically connects the PV arrays in parallel or in series to improve the matching state.
(1) Direct coupling control
Photoelectric pump systems that use centrifugal pumps often use direct coupling because the performance of the centrifugal pump is well matched to the photovoltaic output characteristics. In designing such a system, the performance of the pump, the characteristics of the motor, and the parameters of the PV array must be carefully selected. Special development is also required when necessary. In this type of system control, the simplest controller is a knife switch that controls the start and stop of the pump manually. If the electronic system capable of automatically turning on and newly opening the circuit is used to control the start and stop of the water system, the working condition of the system can be improved, and the water volume can be increased by about 10% to achieve unattended operation. For example, a floating system with a buoyancy switch can automatically start and stop according to the depth of the water. An automatic controller with a light intensity probe can control the pumping and stopping according to the intensity of the solar radiation.
(2) Maximum power controller
The maximum power controller is commonly used in photovoltaic systems for volumetric pumps. This is an electronic adapter device with a single-chip microcomputer as the core device and the function of tracking the maximum output power point. It can adjust according to the irradiance, the current and voltage of the PV array, the head of the pump, the flow rate and other parameters, so that the square matrix The output operating point is close to the maximum power point; at the same time, the electrical parameters of the input motor pump unit can also make the unit work in an optimal state. Applying the maximum power controller also reduces the system's sunshine threshold.
Although the maximum power controller consumes about 5% of the output power of the PV array, the overall efficiency of the entire photoelectric pump system can be increased by more than 10%.

disadvantage of self pollination
i am now learning the topic "Reproduction in flowering plants" and i encounter something i don't understand
It is said that there are two disadvantages for self pollination
1. the offspring are genetically identical to their parents so becoming less adaptable to the environment.
2. The offspring are weakened with fewer seeds
then it has no explanation about why. would anyone briefly explain it to me? why genetically identical would mean less adaptable to the environment? What's the problem of being identical to their parents? I don't understand
and why the offspring would be with fewer seeds? If their pollen grains go to stigma of another plants, they are also starting with a zygote only to do the mitosis on their own, why they will be with fewer seeds?
No explanation available in the textbook
|Jan10-13, 05:28 PM||#2|
1. Is sort of incorrect. It won't be identical, maybe it would have a simillar allele distribution, but the alleles in gametes would repeat or bring some mutations which are not in somatic cells. The problem with being identical to the parents is the lack of genetic recombination, which is the main force of preserving the species, letting the organisms to combine new mutations or produce natural selection in order to survive a harsh period in which the older members of the species aren't prepared for.
2. With a similar to 1., if the plants would self pollinate, its offspring would carry almost all the same alleles, including the recessive, disadvantageous ones, specially the mutations. That means the offspring would be in a disadvantage, and the mutations would weaken them.
|Jan10-13, 05:45 PM||#3|
There is an advantage to recombination of alleles when there are lots of heterozygous alleles (genetically different alleles). In this case the offspring will have a broad range of genotypes to deal with changing environments.
Self pollinating plants plants over time tend to be more homozygous alleles with less genetic diversity. There also cannot be very much gene flow - there is no source of external alleles. The only genetic change "factor" is mutation.
The fact that some species are either self pollinating or parthenogenetic and they are commonly found -- is that these species happened to be extremely well suited to a specialty environment.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) is a very common weedy plant species in lawns. It does better there than do some grass species, much to the chagrin of homeowners...

disadvantage of self pollination
They are not genetically identical. However since there is good chance of being homozygous for a deleterious recessive allle. You might also want to check Inbreeding Depression
Variation in a population is desirable; so that even if the population is doing pretty good in the current conditions, it will have a good chance of survival should environmental conditions change.

Don't forget that plants that can self pollinate can also cross pollinate with other plants of the same species. For example, tomatoes are self pollinating, but they can also cross pollinate with other tomatoes.
|Jan14-13, 10:07 PM||#6|
If you draw Punnett squares for the selfing of a hybrid, in which a recessive gene is not expressed, you will see that a recessive gene has a good chance of being expressed in the offspring.There are three possibilities.
The offspring of a parent that self fertilized itself would not be identical to its parent. At the very least, the chromosomes of the parent would be mixed up in the offspring. Some of the genes would get mixed up within the chromosome by cross over.
The effect would be very similar to extreme inbreeding. The chromosomes of the parent are paired. The offspring would get a copy either one or the other chromosome in a pair. The offspring would also have paired chromosomes. However, the assortment of chromosomes in the offspring would be random.
The off spring would get a double dose of some chromosomes, and zero dose of some chromosomes, and half and half mixture of some chromosomes.
The effect would be like extreme inbreeding. Suppose the parent is a hybrid with respect to an allele in any chromosome pair. Suppose that one parental chromosome has a recessive gene and the other has a dominant gene. Obviously, the recessive gene won't be expressed in the parent. However, there is a 25% chance that the offspring will have a double dose of the recessive gene. The recessive gene will be expressed.
If the recessive gene results in vulnerability to a certain disease, the results could be bad.

Recently, Professor Henry Lowood of Stanford University suggested developing a videogame canon. Such a construct is analogous to the concept of the academic Western canon, which specifies a list of literature, and potentially art and so forth, that are considered significantly influential in Western culture.
I would like to do something similar with videogames. I deride the specifics of Professor Lowood's canon, primarily because of the specifics of game inclusion. From an academic standpoint, "Space War!" gives a player little real information about game design. Academically, Space War! is just not a useful teaching aid. That is not to say that it is a terrible game. But it doesn't show clearly and distinctly a specific tool in a game designers arsenal.
And to me, that is what a canon should do. It should list games that are useful as teaching tools. It should list games that have a clear and convincing object lesson associated with it that shows how a game designer can solve certain problems. And it should be the best example of that solution, not merely the first, which most of those games were.
So, what would I include? You'll find out in this new, ongoing series of articles. Each choice will be explained in detail, covering what needs to be taught in an academic setting (since that's the purpose of the list).

Seven Hungry Babies
Bargain Book Copy
Seven bitty baby birds are hungry, hungry, hungry - and they're letting Mama know. "Feed us! Feed us!" the little ones chant, and Mama calms them as only a mother can - before she frantically flies away to gather more delectable worms. Readers can count with Mama Bird as she zooms back and forth across the pages, going from seven hungry babies to none...until one by one the babies wake up again...hungry!
NOTE: This title is a Bargain Book Copy, purchased direct from various publishers as excess inventory or a store return. The book is in new condition and will, in most cases, have a small dot or line on the edge of the book. It may also have a price sticker on it from the original store it was returned from.

Beta titanium alloys have been available since the 1950s (Ti-13V-11Cr-3Mo or B120VCA), but significant applications of these alloys, beyond the SR-71 Blackbird, have been slow in coming. The next significant usage of a β alloy did not occur until the mid-1980s on the B-1B bomber. This aircraft used Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn sheet due to its capability for strip rolling, improved formability, and higher strength than Ti-6Al-4V. The next major usage was on a commercial aircraft, the Boeing 777, which made extensive use of Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al high-strength forgings. Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn environmental control system ducting, castings, and springs were also used, along with Ti-3Al-8V-6Cr-4Mo-4Zr (β-C) springs. Beta-218 was also introduced for high-temperature usage. More recent work at Boeing has focused on the development of Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr, a high-strength alloy that can be used at higher strength than Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al and is much more robust; it has a much wider, or friendlier, processing window. This, along with additional studies at Boeing, and from within the aerospace industry in general will be discussed in detail, summarizing applications and the rationale for the selection of this alloy system for aerospace applications.

In Short – Will They Be Turned?
As you may know, the gargantuan porkulus bill is sitting in the Senate and Harry Reid is trying to ram it through. It secured passage through the House without a single GOP vote, however, the GOP has at least a foot in the door to keep this irresponsible piece of garbage legislation from seeing the light of day.
But that foot can be quickly retracted – let me give you their names:
• Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
• Susan Collins (R-ME)
• Arlen Specter (R-PA)
These three are being heavily courted by the Senate Majority Leader, who is trying to peel off moderate senators to close debate and push the bill towards passage. These three are being offered quid pro quos in exchange for their favorable vote for the bill.
With a razor-thin cloture vote looming, the porkulus bill could be killed by the Senate. Similar to the $750B bailout bill, the Senate can kill the largest transfer of cash from the private sector to the federal government in the history of the United State.
So, question, Senators Snowe, Collins, and Specter, are you real Republicans? Will you stand up for the beliefs of the Grand Ole Party, or will you, for your own political agendas, join Harry Reid?
If you three vote for this bill, you should just all become Democrats – the GOP shouldn’t want you in the party anymore, because you’re RINO’s now. But if you get some gumption – if you grow a spine and tell Harry Reid where to stick this porkulus bill, well, then you’re still worthy to carry the mantle of the party of Reagan.
Where will you stand? It’s come down to this.
We’re watching….and waiting.

The winners of the third annual competition honoring the best iPhone and iPad apps released in the iTunes App Store – ‘Best App Ever Awards’ – have been announced by 148Apps, whose goal was to highlight a number of noteworthy apps that Apple may have not featured on the front page of iTunes.
148Apps has created the Best App Ever awards in 2008 with the purpose of celebrating the efforts of application developers while raising user awareness about the best apps available, not just the top selling titles.
“The goal of the awards was to help publicize some applications that people may never have seen,” said Jeff Scott, founder of 148Apps and the Best App Ever Awards.
“Some of the best apps have never been featured on the iTunes front page or in an iPhone TV ad, yet they deserve recognition and publicity for the great work the developers have done,” added Scott. More »

Are you choosing the right medicine?
The medicine for your best health lies in plain sight, but worse yet, even when we see it, we often push it away. We spend inordinate time thinking about what could make us healthier and happier but the answer is EACH OTHER. The quality of the relationships in your life are your biggest priority or at least research says they should be. But why do we get it wrong so often? I would suggest if we know this AND ALSO stay grateful for this, then we will choose the best medicine, every time.
It has been clear for a long time but let's review a summary of the research so I can get you on the same page for the sake of my argument. For decades now, the research has built upon and confirmed itself. One study of more than 300,000 people even showed that a lack of strong relationships increased premature death by up to 50%. Now, that's approaching numbers of the risk of daily smoking which we all agree is bad for our health. And those who define themselves as lonely do poorly on the most important health outcomes.
We know that midlife women who were in satisfying marriages had lower rates of CVD than those in less satisfying marriages. Probably the most defining study recently published was 75 years in length! It only looked at men unfortunately but in this study, the outcome was clear. Loving, strong relationships kept these men healthier. Period. Are you starting to get the idea here?
I think that of utmost importance to note is that it has never been the number of relationships but rather the quality of those relationships that matters. The relationships do not have to be of romantic nature either. What is important is that we have loving relationships in which we can have a depth of vulnerability, an ease of being who we really are. That authenticity is crucial. These threads of connection help us releive the stress in our lives. We are not acting or making ourselves out to be something we are not. We are just being who we are, surrounded by love.
The quality of how we connect to those we love in our life is what will make us healthier. Value your vulnerability and authenticity and these relationships will feed you.
Now, my point is that if we can all agree that the quality of our relationships is important...I am hoping you are with me on that one...Then we can agree that we need to prioritize that. Take a moment to have gratitude for any and all relationships in your life that fit this image above. Really, come on. Close your eyes and take a deep breath and notice what it feels like to recognize the gratitude we have for these people and what they give us.
Now, open your eyes and promise me you will prioritize these relationships as the most important medicine you can take. What I mean is:
1. Next time you are choosing to be at work late and you miss a family dinner or time with friends, think about which one is contributing to your health and happiness more. That's a trick question. You know what to choose.
2. Next time you are staring at a screen and not connecting with someone you love in front of you, think about what you are choosing. Is this the medicine you need?
3. Next time someone you love needs you and you choose to not be there for them, think about how that is not contributing to the quality of that relationship. Now, we are not always able to be there for everyone we love every time but what if even when we are not able, we express our gratitude and love to that person and our sincere sadness that we are missing something important to them?
You get to choose your medicine every day.
Keep gratitude for your relationships in your mind and heart and you will always choose the medicine you need for your best health.

Scuba Diving Certification – How to Obtain One
Scuba diving really is a great sport, and even though it uses a lot of dedicated equipment, it is rather easy to obtain scuba diving certification.
But before you can get certified, you need to have a few basic things in place. While scuba diving is exciting and fun, it can be dangerous at the same time. You cannot risk making any error when you are already at the bottom of the sea.
Firstly, you have to be capable of swimming. This maybe obvious, but it is crucial that you’re a convincingly strong in addition to being a competent swimmer. Majority of scuba diving certification will require you to have the ability to swim about 200 yards adeptly with any kind of stroke. You are also supposed to be capable of treading water or floating for 10 minutes. If you want to engage in scuba diving, it is important as well that you are healthy. Health is generally a consideration, but you need also to be healthy during the dive.
Scuba diving if you are suffering from a head cold is obviously not a good idea, and could result to problems like a burst eardrum.
If you are searching for scuba diving classes or school, start out by inquiring from friends in addition to family, or try asking from your community center or local YMCA. Explore what the school has to offer on the course you are contemplating, and check if the instructor has certification to teach lessons on scuba diving. It is imperative to choose the scuba diving training that is both the most excellent in addition to the safest.
Considering that there are lots of scuba diving certification agencies out there, it makes sense to verify which ones are nearer to where you are at. Not all of them will use the same approach to scuba diving and this is something that you need to take into account. On the other hand, popular agencies will usually offer almost the same training in terms of recreational scuba and will acknowledge each other’s qualifications. Several schools have programs that grant you a well-accepted certification, for instance a Professional Association of Diving Instructors or PADI. You will be able to dive in most places worldwide if you take this with you.
One very important thing to consider — if you do not feel comfortable and safe at any time, do not dive. Practice your diving skills comprehensively before heading out to somewhere you are uncertain about. If you repeat your skills over and over again, you will be quick to react rationally should anything goes wrong. Ask the instructor to go over anything any scuba diving instruction you don’t understand. Asking a lot of questions during scuba diving training and getting it right is definitely better than ending up with insufficient scuba diving know-how.

Gravity, or the lack of gravity, has been used in movie special effects for decades. Over the last eleven years epic, gravity defying fight scenes have permeated the movie goer psyche. Becoming almost common place in movies, defying gravity is one way for writers, actors, and directors to push the limits of film making. Here are great scenes from five different movies that defy gravity in their own special way.
5. The Matrix: Neo vs. Agent Smith
When The Matrix came out in 1999 it redefined the movie fight scene forever. This gravity defying fight scene was one of the best ever produced. It was well done, so well done in fact that movie makers tried to milk this scene for years to come, much to the dismay of moviegoers everywhere.
4. The Phantom Menace: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn vs. Darth Maul
Although the die-hard fans, critical of the Star Wars franchise, complained incessantly about The Phantom Menance, it’s fair to say that the inclusion of a gravity defying scene like the one above isn’t out of the realm of possibilities for a Jedi.
3. Hero: Nameless vs. Sky
This scene from Herois by far one of my favorite in the gravity defying category. Any scene with Jet Li is awe inspiring, and this scene is no exception. Focusing mainly on metal to metal contact this scene is a lot more fight, and not so much special effects fluff that a lot of movies (I won’t name any names) suffer from.
2. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Jen Yu vs. Li Mu Bai
After The Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragonis probably the movie that comes to mind for most people when they think gravity defying fight scene. Certainly one of the best in its genre, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragonintroduced, and made common, a style of gravity free fighting all its own.
1. Inception: Arthur vs. the Projections
Inceptionwas one of those movies that takes an over played concept, like low gravity fight scenes, and does something entirely new with it. Unlike most movies that use wires or CGI for their special effects, the team behind Inception created an entire rotating set. Capable of horizontal and vertical rotations this portion of the movie was the most difficult scene to film. Not only was the set a first for movie makers, it also required everyone, and everything, to be perfectly timed. I give my kudos to Christopher Nolan for pulling this one off.

A fungicide application represents a considerable investment. Be sure you get the most from it by answering these three questions before applying: What is the hybrid to be sprayed? What is the weather outlook for application day? What is the disease that’s being treated?
After that, determine which adjuvants should go in the tank. If 25 percent of your fungicide doesn’t reach its target, that means product — and money — is vanishing into thin air. An adjuvant helps keep fungicides and insecticides where they belong and helps deposit the product’s active ingredient deep into the crop canopy where it will be most effective.
MasterLock adjuvant hits the spot
Aerial applications are more common in cornfields at this time of the year and they use less water, which adds to the challenge of getting crop protection products where you want them. In 14 WinField United trials at locations in eight states between 2012 and 2017, adding MasterLock® adjuvant to the spray tank increased corn yields by an average of 5.7 bushels per acre compared to fungicide alone.
This data, along with our response-to-fungicide findings
, can mean even more to you during this application season. (Note: This data includes third-party trials.)
Benefits that pay off
Specifically created to enhance the performance of fungicides and insecticides in mid- to late postemergence applications to corn and soybeans, MasterLock offers a range of benefits:
Improved spray deposition
Increased canopy penetration
Enhanced adhesion, reduced bounce and increased coverage because droplets stick and spread
Reduced spray drift and pesticide evaporation
MasterLock is also not formulated with NPE, which has been linked to Arrested Ear Syndrome in corn, mostly when applied during vegetative growth stages.
Enhance coverage and increase control
of InterLock® adjuvant and DropTight additive, MasterLock helps eliminate fines by driving droplets down into the canopy, which enables droplets to hit and stick to the leaf.
To control diseases and insects that live below the canopy, MasterLock enhances deposition to deliver fungicides and insecticides lower into the canopy for improved coverage of the plant. In numerous research trials, MasterLock has been shown to decrease the incidence of infection from diseases and help improve insect control with insecticides.
Make sure that if fungicide is on your expense sheet this year that you get the full ROI out of it by adding an adjuvant to the tank. Talk with your local trusted advisor about including MasterLock in your late-season application plans.
Always read and follow label instructions. Product descriptions and ratings are generated from Answer Plot® trials and/or from the genetics supplier and may change as additional data is gathered. These ratings also reflect trends in product performance during research trials that are dependent upon many factors beyond the control of WinField United including without limitation, weather, soil types, disease pressure, crop production patterns and other uncontrollable factors.

Conventional radiography is the primary imaging tool for routine follow-up of total hip replacements, but the reliability of this method has been questioned. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability of commonly used measurements of the position of hip prostheses on postoperative radiographs with use of tools available on all standard picture archiving and communication system workstations.Methods:
Fifty anteroposterior pelvic and lateral hip radiographs that were made after a unilateral total hip arthroplasty were included in this study. Acetabular inclination, lateral offset, lower-limb length, center of rotation, and femoral stem angle were independently assessed by two observers. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated for each measurement.Results:
The results demonstrated excellent reliability for acetabular angle (r = 0.95), lower-limb length (r = 0.91), and lateral offset (r = 0.95) measurements and good reliability for center of rotation (r = 0.73) and lateral femoral stem angle (r = 0.68) measurements.Conclusions:
The position of total hip replacements can be reliably assessed with use of simple electronic tools and standard radiology workstations.Clinical Relevance:
Simple electronic tools on picture archiving and communication system workstations can be reliably used to measure alignment of total hip replacement prostheses at routine work stations. These measurements are reproducible and may avoid the need for expensive software and templates.

HERNDON, Va. — Northern Virginia leaders are praising the state’s long-awaited budget deal, while also expressing concerns.
“It’s a big relief that they got it done,” said Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Chair Phyllis Randall.
“I’m happy that we did something as far as Metro,” she said. “Not completely happy about the vehicle and the fact that it’s takingso much money out of local transportation projects.” Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has said that he would work to change that formula next year.
Randall said the bill will also allow the county to add a much-needed judge.
“A lot of judges were funded and we are very happy about that,” she said. “It will move the judicial system along and unclog some of our court system.”
The measure includes additional education funding. Randall said she’s still in the process of figuring out how much more state money will be coming into the Loudoun County school system.
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova said she’s optimistic.
“We were projecting what were going to receive from the General Assembly,” she said. “My understanding is that some of our assumptions at the higher end are what was approved.”
Both Democratic leaders praised the budget’s expansion of Medicaid in the state.

Author Cathy Malchiodi, experienced professional of art therapy, expressive therapy, and counseling, stated in her book titled, “Expressive Therapies”,
“Expressive therapies offer unique ways to enhance communication as well as fresh directions for therapeutic work for both the client and therapist…they have several specific characteristics not always found in strictly verbal therapies, including, but not limited to: 1) self-expression, 2) active participation, 3) imagination, and 4) mind-body connections.”
If you’ve ever created something by painting, drawing, playing an instrument or something similar, you’ve taken part in a component of expressive therapy. However, expressive therapy is not simply doing one of these activities – it involves engaging in a creative activity to express oneself and learn more about oneself and others, typically through the direction of a therapist.
Expressive therapies didn’t become popular until the 1930s and 1940s, when psychotherapists and artists learned that these modalities could help those with mental illness. According to the California Institute of Integral Studies, psychologists utilize expressive therapy to help promote clients with their self-awareness, emotional well-being, healing, and self-esteem. In therapy, you need not worry about the end result of your creative project. In fact, you most often will be asked to draw or create something that represents what you are going through. Your therapist will not be judging your artwork, and you will be able to engage in conversation about what your project means to you and how you view the situations that are occurring in your life.
Consider expressive therapy as an extension of your feelings and thoughts. You may not know what you will create until you are the process of creating; expressive therapy has been shown to help people who have difficulty talking about the way they feel.
A 2010 review published in Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association identified numerous studies that assessed expressive therapy and their correlated benefits for participants in each study. The results of these studies further confirmed that expressive therapy has been reported to help reduce stress, reduce cognitive distortions, enhance coping mechanisms, provide a safe place to explore feelings and grief, show positive change and growth, improve behavioral functioning and mood, and more. Speak with a representative at a reputable treatment center today to learn more about how expressive therapy could be of benefit to your recovery.

Kelet Cafe is a wonderful local haunt for locals, offering Mediterranean fusion food and artisanal coffee blends. The menu includes sandwiches, soups and appetizers featuring flavours from around the globe. My personal favourite dishes are the Indonesian Peanut sandwich and the Smoked Catfish Sandwich. They also have a delicious Georgian Soup called Kharcho, lovely oriental dips and litany of other interesting options. Local beers, wines and coffee as well as organic teas make this place an amazing option for any time of the day. Most of the dishes are smaller and snack-sized, so it is the perfect place to go and eat light at all times of the day. They also have a huge selection of books in their library, so you can sit down and sink your teeth into some food and your mind in a book.

The world’s oceans are key to sustaining life on the planet. They provide a range of benefits for human well-being and prosperity by providing food, jobs, habitats and biodiversity, and by moderating temperatures and capturing carbon.
Yet mankind has put the oceans at risk of irreversible damage. Overfishing, ocean acidification, increasing pollution, unsustainable coastal development, and the unwanted impacts of extracting resources have resulted in a decreasing abundance of marine species as well as decreasing economic benefits to small island developing States and Least Developed Countries.
"Oceans and their resources have a vast potential to unlock growth, wealth and support the implementation of Agenda 2030 of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but human activity has taken a toll on ocean health," said UNCTAD Secretary-General Mukhisa Kituyi, adding that oceans connect people, markets and livelihoods and are a conduit for 90% of world trade.
More than 31% of global fish stocks have been estimated as being fished at biologically unsustainable levels, according to the 2016 edition of the State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
It has also been estimated that the oceans economy generates over 350 million jobs, worth $3.6 trillion a year, proving employment and food security to many of the world's poorest and hungriest people.
But subsidies for fishing are contributing to the rapid depletion of many fish species and are preventing efforts to save and restore global fisheries and related jobs, causing ocean fisheries to generate $50 billion less per year than they could.
Overfishing persists despite decades of effort to manage fisheries so that stocks are successfully conserved at sustainable levels.
Target 4 of SDG 14, which addresses the health of oceans, specifically recognizes the need to end overfishing and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. It also envisages the end of destructive fishing practices and the implementation of science-based management plans to restore fish stocks by 2020, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as determined by their biological characteristics.
Global estimates of the cost of IUU fishing have been valued between $10 billion and $23.5 billion annually in unlawful or undocumented revenue, representing between 11 and 26 million tonnes of fish. It has also been estimated that the poor management of fisheries squanders roughly $80 billion annually in lost economic potential.
As a cross-cutting issue with economic, social and environmental ramifications and in light of the oceans' interconnectedness, all nations of the world should strive to make the oceans places of safety and sustainability of maritime activities for all humankind.
"Human-induced problems need human solutions, we must all come together and scale up effort and cooperation to find solutions," Dr. Kituyi said.
UNCTAD continues to support the successful implementation of SDG 14 and contributed a substantive a report: “Trade and Environment Review 2016: Fish Trade”, to the UN High Level Oceans Conference in June 2017 and to inform trade related international discussions and in particular, the next WTO Ministerial Conference scheduled for December 2017 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Lisa Slaton's REDEMPTION THROUGH FORGIVENESS: HOW GOD USED MY MENTAL ILLNESS TO SAVE ME.
Every day people suffer from mental illness which can be deliberating. What can you do about it? Seek help? Have a doctor prescribe you a medication? For some who suffer, they feel trapped and isolated. Lisa Slaton, author of REDEMPTION THROUGH FORGIVENESS: HOW GOD USED MY MENTAL ILLNESS TO SAVE ME has a different viewpoint. Diagnoses with Multiple Personality Disorder and other mental illness, she created other personalities to help her survive trauma from abusive situations in her childhood. As an adult, she came face-to-to face with them only to find that they were Christian alter-egos whom God chose to help her cope and to understand. She said the God used her, and her personalities for the better. She said, "It is when God gives me the most difficult challenge I have ever faced - forgiving my other for the immense emotional damage that she caused me, that I finally learned that I am worthy enough to let God love me and save me. Read more about Lisa and her upcoming book below.

This floor plate two posts lift is composed of posts, carriages, lifting arms, cylinders and motor unit, etc.
It is driven by an electro-hydraulic system. The gear pump delivers hydraulic oil to oil cylinders and pushes upwards its piston. The piston drives the chain to raise the carriage and the lifting arms. During lifting process, the safety latch will automatically and firmly bite with the safety teeth block in the posts. Therefore, no slipping will happen in case the hydraulic system breaks down.

Fujifilm has announced a new 50mm X-series lens with an unprecedented f/1.0 aperture. The XF 50mmF1.0 R WR is the world’s first f/1 autofocus lens for mirrorless cameras, according to Fujifilm, and marks the 35th X-series lens produced by the company. The viewing angle corresponds to approximately 75mm on Fujifilm’s APS-C sensor.
Fujifilm’s previous fastest lens was 56mm f/1.2, which is the most preferred aperture when companies like Canon and Nikon design autofocus lenses. Although Canon once made autofocus 50mm f/1.0 for DSLRs, it stopped decades ago. Nikon and Leica previously made f/0.95 lenses, but they only worked with manual focus. A larger aperture allows you to achieve a shallower depth of field and shoot with a faster shutter speed or lower ISO setting.
Developed over a long time, this lens is a Fujifilm statement lens that is not a practical tool for most photographers. The difference in depth of field between this and 56mm f/1.2 will be at least partially offset by the shorter focal length, while 50mm is much bigger and heavier at 845g or about 1.9lbs. However, it provides weather resistance.
The XF 50mmF1.0 R WR is available this fall for $1,499.95.

Originally printed in the January 2019 issue of Produce Business.
Continuing the discussion from December’s Part I article, industry experts call out expansion of seasonality as well as continued investment in protected ag and social responsibility as key trends for Mexico’s future.
Over the past two decades, Mexico demonstrated significant advancement in production methods. The most notable trend in Mexico, according to Jerry Havel, director of sales and marketing for Fresh Farms in Nogales, AZ, is the stretching of seasons. “More and more companies offer product in mid-September and are going later each year,” he says. “Some producers of vegetables in Baja go all summer long; there are bell peppers in southern Mexico and grapes in April.”
Supply from Mexico remains crucial to retail produce, maintains Mike Melendrez, produce manager with Food King in Littlefield, TX, with 18 stores. “Mexican availability makes product more affordable for our customers and allows for a better price point,” he says. “Without Mexico, our nation wouldn’t really be able to fully supply our demand for produce.”
Ronnie Cohen, principal with Vision Import Group in Hackensack, NJ, says increasing U.S. population contributes to rising consumption and demand for Mexican produce. “Add to the equation urban sprawl, natural disasters, water issues in major U.S. growing areas and labor challenges, and you get a push more and more south for produce,” he says.
Innovation, according to Elvis Obregon, chief executive of Orbis Innovation in Produce of Pompano Beach, FL, is crucial for Mexico’s future. “To survive and prosper, it will be all about value-added, technology, eco-friendly, organic and flavor,” he says. “We are returning to a priority of eating quality and see buyers looking for higher brix and nutrient density.”
Longer windows of availability from Mexico influence future opportunity, asserts Christopher Ciruli, chief operating officer for Ciruli Brothers in Rio Rico, AZ. “Seasons will continue to expand to keep up with U.S. demand,” he says. “We are expanding our grower base into central Mexico to meet customer demand.”
Mexico continues to be a world-leader in greenhouse growing, a trend that will continue, according to Allison Moore, vice president of Fresh Produce Association of the Americas (FPAA) in Nogales, AZ. “It helps maximize efficiencies in growing and harvesting high-quality produce,” she says.
Ciruli notes a significant amount of product is being grown in protected environments, resulting in benefits demanded by retail and consumers. “This provides price stability and consistent year-long supplies,” he says.
The Mexican protected horticulture industry is mainly comprised of the production of three products in a wide range of varieties, explains Alfredo Diaz Belmontes, chief executive of AMHPAC in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. “According to Mexico’s Secretary of Agriculture, in 2017 there were 25,764 hectares (63,664 acres) of protected horticulture in Mexico,” he says. “Of that production, 68 percent was in tomatoes, 15 percent in cucumbers, 14 percent in bell peppers, and the remaining 3 percent was mainly eggplants and hot peppers.”
Developments in hothouse production include expansion of variety, including tomatoes, explains Food King’s Melendrez. “We see an increase in specialty tomatoes at our stores and just started a line of new, unique tomatoes,” he says.
“Organics is a growing trend. We see greater consumer demand worldwide. Mexico is now the fifth- or sixth-largest producer of organics in the world.”
— Alejandro Vazquez Salido, ASERCA
Organic Holding Steady
Organic production also continues upward in volume and variety. “Our organic program is growing 10 to 15 percent per year,” says Havel of Farm Fresh. “We’re expanding organic in almost all of our lines, and it’s customer-driven. All of Mexico’s benefits with respect to availability, volume and fair pricing translate to the organic offering, as well.”
Cohen reports Vision continues to expand and maintain a presence in organic. “We are folding in organic options,” he says. “We already offer organic lemons, and next year we plan on adding limes and mangos.”
Matt Mandel, vice president of operations for SunFed in Rio Rico, AZ, reports SunFed’s Perfect Organics program continues to increase in size and scope. “The offerings keep growing in volume as well as quantity of different pack styles/presentation, including our modified-atmosphere and modified-humidity packaging, to accommodate both novice and well-established programs,” he says.
“We’re committed to more than just the quality of our products … we’re committed to the quality of our work conditions and offering safe and beneficial working conditions to our grow

A parallelopiped has six faces that are parallelogram - like a cuboid that has been distorted by pushing opposite vertices in opposite directions (the three dimensional equivalent of distorting a rectangle into a parallelogram). A solid with two rectangular faces would be a special case of a parallelopiped.
Two hexagonal "ends" and six rectangular sides.
To determine the surface area of a rectangular prism, the two sides, adjacent sides, and ends of the prism must be added up. To do this, the sides are the product of the prism's length and height, the adjacent sides the width and height, and the ends the product of the length and width.
The difference in a triangular and rectangular pyramid only has to do with the base of the pyramid, which in turn decide how many sides the pyramid will have. A triangular pyramid has a base shaped like a triangle, which ends up having a total of 4 sides (including the base itself). A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, which ends up having a total of 5 sides (including the base itself).
a hexahedron with four rectangular sides and two square ends.
Parallelogram bc the ends are slanted
4 rectangular faces for the sides and 2 square faces for the ends=6 faces
They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
A prism, or more precisely, a right prism.
A shape with 5 sides is a pentagon.However, the term face is only applied to three-dimensional forms,and a shape (solid) with 5 faces is a pentahedron.There are no regular pentahedrons. The two forms are the square pyramid and the triangular prism. The former has 4 triangular sides and a square or rectangular base; the latter has 3 rectangular (or square) faces and two triangular ends.
You are describing a triangular prism. It has a rectangular base, two rectangular sides and two triangular ends.
No, a rectangular prism is a 3D object with rectangular sides and a shape with 3 or more edges on both ends. A dollar bill (or any other similar piece of paper) is a 2D rectangle.
A prism.A prism.A prism.A prism.
A cuboid is a 3D shape that can be a cube or a rectangle, both having 2 ends, 2 sides, and a top and a bottom face.
a cuboid is a slightly different shape than a rectangular pirson! a rectangular prism has a triangle at to ends unlike the cuboid! A rectangular prism does not have TWO ends that are triangles! Still working on this.....
A square prism is a solid object with identical ends, flat sides, and has the same cross section through out its length.
Six rectangles. Three pairs of congruent rectangles. Imagine a standard box unfolded. The two ends are the same, the sides are the same and the top and bottom are the same.
Equilateral means that all the sides are the same size. Therefore an equilateral prism is has all sides the same length. This also means that they have 3 equal 60 degree angles. The definition of prism is a solid figure whose bases or ends have the same size and shape and are parallel to one another, and each of whose sides is a parallelogram. Equilateral prisms are commonly used to refract light. This refraction demonstrates that white light is a combination of all colours of the spectrum.
A solid figure that has 2 parallel bases that are congruent circles. A Cylinder is a solid figure described by the revolution of a rectangle about one of its sides which remains fixed. Two ends of a cylinder are the circles of same diameter. Examples include pipes, cans, and poles. cylinder? A Cylinder is a solid figure described by the revolution of a rectangle about one of its sides which remains fixed. Two ends of a cylinder are the circles of same diameter. Examples include pipes, cans, and poles.
If you want to overlap the ends a bit you need a rectangular tablecloth about 102 - 108 inch long
It depends on the shape of the prism - whether its ends are triangular, rectangular or are polygons with more sides.
It's a triangular prism - the two triangles form two ends, and the rectangles join the three sides.
Eight. A regular hexagonal prism will have two hexagonal 'ends' and six rectangular'sides' - so it will have eight faces in total. ------------ An n-gonal prism has n+2 faces.
Three: 1) The area of the cross-sectional rectangle end 2) The area of the rectangle joining the longer side of the cross-sectional rectangular ends 3) The area of the rectangle joining the shorter side of the cross-sectional rectangular ends Then the surface area of the rectangular prism is twice the sum of these three areas.

So much striving and self-absorption. Wow.
That was my gut reaction to a post I read on an Emerging-Christian site I often frequent. I’m not naming the site nor quoting directly from the post because I truly appreciate both despite how critical my first response might sound.
The post in question concerned the purpose of pain and how we use (or should use) the experiences in our lives we describe as painful. The reason my reaction was so harsh is because I heard in the writer’s post a need to assure his readers he wasn’t blaming God nor in any way trying to put a negative light on God’s part in our pain. At the same time, I felt the weight of judgment on the back of this poster if he didn’t somehow manage to honor God by using his pain to…call attention to God?…bring others to a knowledge of God?…give God glory? I think the post was intended to ask how we’re supposed to give God glory (with regard to our experience of pain) without seeming to blame Him in the process. In other words he was trying to avoid the whole “why does God let bad things happen?” question and still credit God with being in control of everything, having our best at heart, being all powerful, etc., etc. Humm…
My problem with his question/lament is that while he was almost desperate to come across as “letting God off the hook”, he couldn’t help but put humanity (or at least Christendom) on it. In fact my biggest problem with Christianity in general, at least in the ways I see most people wanting “the other” to practice it, is how many spoken and unspoken rules and regs there are in a religion that claims Christ paid the price and we’re “free” because of His ransom. Even those of us who espouse to be liberated, enlightened, regulation free, emerged, or whatever you want to call it, seem to have a list of expectations for those we pejoratively refer to as Funless fundies, (AKA our “other”) like practice more and preach less. Ahem.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I realized the subject of pain is tricky, especially when we’re trying to convince everyone God loves them and wants what’s best for them, and is in control, and has a plan for everything. From personal experience I know that pain just isn’t a lot of fun. And, making those two things add up doesn’t always work. Mostly the confusion and frustration comes because we believe the lie that pain is evil because it is unpleasant and we believe it is our job to avoid evil at all costs. In truth pain allows us to be vulnerable. It coupled with joy is what makes us human. When we are in pain we are often forced to open ourselves up to accept help from someone else. And, when others are in pain, we often offer ourselves to them because we’re moved by their need, have the resources they don’t, or can use our own experiences to identify with theirs, letting them know they are not alone.
Being vulnerable is risky. We know we could just as easily be disappointed and rejected as be satisfied and embraced. So, we take ourselves out of the mix because we don’t. like. risk. We would rather bind ourselves up with a hundred lists of do’s and don’t, should’s and shouldnt’s, can’s and can not’s than risk getting it wrong.
Sadly, the law lists we make up tend to be for our own benefit more than for the benefit of the other. We feel good when we follow them and we feel even better when we can point at someone we’re better than (AKA Someone who isn’t following the rules we are or at least we tell ourselves we are). I’m not quite sure how that works except that I’m pretty sure it’s tied into thinking we need to earn God’s favor. The problem is that when we set about trying to earn something we already have those around us, those who observe us, end up getting a false idea about the character of God.

The Spanish astronomer made a statistical simulation of the amount of water and land on the surface of the terrestrial planets. Most of them should be covered by the oceans almost entirely.
“Do we expect that most of the inhabited planets will have the earthy appearance of a” blue pearl “?” – asks Fergus Simpson of the Barcelona Institute of Space Sciences. In fact, the vast expanses of oceans and continents on our planet – this is probably a rare case. The unique combination of a number of factors allows the Earth to maintain a delicate balance between the total amount of water, the volumes and rate of its cycle, and so on.
Even among planets of similar sizes and at a suitable distance from the Sun, these factors can easily be formed quite differently, and, according to Simpson’s remark, most such planets should be dominated by either land or water. But what exactly? The simulation conducted by the scientist showed that the second variant should be much more widespread, and the exoplanets suitable for life almost all represent oceans with rare, less than 10 percent islands of land. These results he cites in an article published by the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
It is worth remembering that on Earth, water covers 71 percent of the surface, so that it is somewhat out of the bulk of planets of a similar type. This uniqueness Fergus Simpson explains an anthropic principle, which in this case may sound – “The Earth is so ideal for life, because life was born here.”
On the other hand, and the excess of land on such planets is also not the best option. Simpson’s simulation showed that too vast expanses of continents expand the area of difficult to inhabit deserts.

Follow the plan for a few weeks to see what your potential returns could be and what kind of strike rate that you are looking at from it all. For the moment, let’s do an example with single-zero roulette, since the math is easier. If the player makes a bet on one of the even money bets – say, betting on black – they have 18 ways to win, and 19 ways to lose. This also means that at any given time, there’s about a 0.94% chance that they’ll run into a 7-spin losing streak, putting them in the position of not being able to double.

Therefore, randomness plays a very important rule in generating football team combinations. The 5-team parlay software is clearly more successful than the statistical spreadsheet! The programs eliminate certain patterns from previous results and generate lottery-like combinations. I haven’t encountered three or more consecutive losses. The playing field amounts from 6 to 16 parlays per week.

You can Click Here to purchase top sports betting systems from John Morrison, a graduate of Cornell University with a PHd in the field of statistics. John Morrison is a big time & highly educated sports fanatic and professional bettor. John has developed some systems where he is reporting incredible percentages that are absolutely astounding.
Whilst still profitable, Kudos is hard to come by when suggesting people back odds on favourites. My favourite systems will have average starting prices of winners at over 7/2, and preferably toward 7/1. The only problem with the latter is that one can expect lengthy losing runs, but one winner in 7 runners is sufficient return. The more people you share your winning system with, the quicker their money will turn it into a losing system by affecting the odds you can get. The absolute essence of a system is that it has a strike rate at odds that beat the probability set out and given by the bookmaker.

Adopting a French Bulldog can be an incredibly rewarding experience and one that will bring a lifetime of joy to your family. However, with such a precious and unique breed, it also comes with a hefty price tag. The high cost of adopting a French Bulldog can be intimidating and make prospective owners wonder if it is really worth it.
At the heart of the high cost of French Bulldogs is the fact that they are not a common breed. They have become increasingly popular over the past few years, but they are still considered a rare breed and are not found in most pet stores. This means that breeders have to be more selective about who they allow to purchase a puppy and charge higher prices for the puppies that they do have available. In addition, the cost of healthcare for a French Bulldog is typically higher than for other breeds because of their special needs.
The cost of adopting a French Bulldog does not end with the initial purchase price. It also includes the cost of regular vet visits, vaccinations, flea and tick treatments, and other necessary medical care. French Bulldogs are also prone to certain health issues that can be expensive to treat, such as respiratory problems, skin issues, and digestive disorders.
Despite the high cost of adopting a French Bulldog, the rewards are well worth it. French Bulldogs are known to be incredibly affectionate and loyal, and they are very easy to train. They are also low-maintenance and require minimal exercise, making them ideal for busy households.
The high cost of adopting a French Bulldog is definitely something to consider, but in the end, it is worth it for those who are willing to invest in such a precious and unique breed. With the right care and love, a French Bulldog can bring a lifetime of joy to your family.

The £1.3million Public Realm Works outside the Town Hall were completed late last year, and included the installation of speed bumps, wider pavements and fewer bus stops, which the Council says was to make the area more attractive and ‘pedestrian-friendly’.
Along with the improvements, the Council introduced new restrictions to traffic, with only buses and access vehicles allowed to enter the road from 9am to 6pm – the same restrictions that apply in Five Ways.
When the works were first completed, some motorists argued the signage was inadequate, leading people accidentally to enter the new restricted zone, but the Council installed new signage last month.
But a number of drivers have been continuing to flout the rules.
The Council is now enforcing the pedestrian-friendly area, and motorists caught driving flouting the ban now face a fine.
From yesterday [Tuesday] a Council CCTV ‘safety car’ will regularly be used to monitor vehicles going through the new restricted road, from Mount Pleasant Road outside the Town Hall to Monson Road.
The Council has said that their approach in the first instance will be to ‘inform and educate drivers’ about the restrictions before any formal enforcement takes place.
Owners of vehicles in the area during the restricted hours will be sent a letter advising them of the restrictions.
The letter will explain that if the vehicle is in this area during the restricted hours on a future occasion it may result in a Penalty Charge Notice for £60.00 being sent to the owner of the vehicle.
But Leader of the Council, Alan McDermott, said: “The approach to enforcement is not about penalising motorists, but informing them about what the restrictions are so that fewer vehicles pass through and the area is more pedestrian-friendly, as intended.”
The Public Realm works, which were a joint scheme by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and Kent County Council, are a continuation of an earlier phase of making the town centre more pedestrian-friendly.
The Council say it is hoped the changes will encourage more people to walk or cycle into town and spend more leisure time in the area.
But the alterations have proved controversial, with traders along Monson Road complaining that the restrictions would lose them ‘passing trade’ and put them out of business.

Better Business Bureau is fortunate to serve a region steered by strong cultural influences. Businesses we accredit reflect communities with unique histories and traditions, and those backgrounds ultimately define the overall spirit of BBB. We are proud to share stories that educate and emphasize who we represent.
The following is an article written by our friends at Kamehameha Schools that we were granted permission to republish to help spread awareness of the history and evolution of Kamehameha Day.
Each June, Hawai‘i pays tribute to Kamehameha School's namesake, the fearless leader who unified the Hawaiian islands. The first observance of Kamehameha Day took place on June 11, 1872. Lot Kapuāiwa (Kamehameha V) instituted the holiday, which is meant to be a day to honor his grandfather, Kamehameha I.
Photo Credit: Kamehameha Schools - Caption: Lot Kapuāiwa (Kamehameha V) instituted the first Kamehameha Day on June 11, 1872 to honor his grandfather Kamehameha I. Early celebrations of the day featured carnivals, fairs, and horse racing. In 1877 more than 4,000 people gathered at the horse race track where Kapiʻolani Park now sits, to celebrate Kamehameha the Great.
Early celebrations of Kamehameha Day featured carnivals, fairs, and lots of racing – foot races, horse races and even velocipede races. The Hawaiian Language newspaper “Ka Lāhui Hawaiʻi,” dated June 14, 1877, reported that more than 4,000 people gathered at the horse race track where Kapiʻolani Park now sits. King Kalākaua and his consort Kapiʻolani were in attendance and there was even a gunshot salute to remember the warrior king.
Kamehameha Day was one of the first holidays adopted by Hawaiʻi when it achieved statehood in 1959.
In more recent years, Kamehameha Day has evolved into a celebration of elaborate events. The festivities include a Sunday service at Kawaiahaʻo Church, lei draping ceremonies on Kamehameha statues, floral parades and more.
Although the way the event is celebrated has changed, the honor remains the same. On June 11, Hawaiʻi once again lifts up Kamehameha I in great reverence for his tireless work as a noble leader, just as Lot intended so many years ago.

Model test in KHRC cavitation tunnel T-32 in a pump loop set-up to determine pump characteristics. Head rise, flow rate and power are measured, pump efficiency and cavitation performance are obtained. Observation of cavitation pattern is enabled, and the risk of cavitation erosion can be assessed.
A model scale pump with an inlet diameter of 200 mm is installed in the cavitation tunnels’ measuring section. Pump inlet is usually bell mouth shaped, and pump exit connected to a pipe system that enable flow rate to be varied and accurately measured.
A torque meter inside the pump hub eliminate uncertainties from losses in bearings and seals. Head rise is measured as static pressure difference corrected by taking cross sectional data and boundary layer profiles into account.
Cavitating conditions are reached by lowering static pressure in the cavitation tunnel. Cavitation observations are enabled by making pump housing of Perspex material. Normal video or high-speed video can be used for documentation. A special soft paint method is used to assess risk of cavitation erosion. Laser doppler equipment, or more conventional methods, can be used for velocity scanning. Pressure transducers, hydrophones and accelerometers are possible to use for noise and vibration measurements.

Content warning: This story discusses child pornography.
Jinger Duggar and husband Jeremy Vuolo are speaking out after Josh Duggar was convicted of receiving and possessing child pornography.
On Friday, Dec. 10, the former Counting On reality stars shared a statement to Instagram addressing Josh's conviction by jury. "We are saddened for the victims of horrific child abuse. We are also saddened for Josh's family, his wife and precious children," the couple reflected. "We are saddened for the dishonor this has brought upon Christ's name."
They continued, "Josh claims to be a Christian. When a professing follower of Jesus is exposed as a hypocrite, the response of many will be to challenge the integrity of Jesus himself."
Jinger and Jeremy, who are estranged from Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, are upset with Josh, also shared their "gratitude" for the justice that has been served. Calling children "among the most vulnerable" in society, the couple said "sex trafficking and child abuse" are some "of the most horrific evils imaginable."
"We are thankful to God for exposing Josh's actions and to a legal system committed to protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty in this case," they added. "We are grateful for justice. We are praying for further justice, vindication, protection, and healing for all those who have been wronged."
On Thursday, Dec. 9, an Arkansas jury convicted Josh of one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. The former reality star was taken into custody and is awaiting sentencing. He faces up to 40 years in prison (up to 20 years for each count) and fines up to $500,000 (up to $250,000 for each count) in total.
His attorneys Justin Gelfand, Ian Murphy and Travis Story said in a statement to E! News, "We appreciate the jury's lengthy deliberations. We respect the jury's verdict, and we intend to appeal."
Josh and Jinger's parents also addressed the conviction in a separate statement to E! News.
"This entire ordeal has been very grievous. Today, God's grace, through the love and prayers of so many, has sustained us," they said in part. "Our hearts and prayers are with anyone who has ever been harmed through CSAM [Child Sexual Abuse Material]."
On the heels of Josh's conviction, multiple outlets reported the eldest Duggar daughter, Jana Duggar, was charged with endangering the welfare of a minor. According to court documents filed with the Washington County District Court in Arkansas and obtained by E! News on Friday, Dec. 10, Jana was cited with the misdemeanor on Sept. 9, which her attorney pleaded not guilty to on her behalf.
E! News has reached out to the Duggar family and Jana's attorney for comment on her case, but hasn't heard back.
The Duggar family previously dealt with controversy when it was revealed in 2015 that a 14-year-old Josh was investigated for allegedly molesting six girls, four of which were his sisters. Jessa and Jill later came forward to say they were molested, though Jessa said in an interview with Megyn Kelly they "weren't aware" it was molestation because his actions were "very subtle."
Josh wasn't indicted as the statute of limitations had passed. He said in a statement at the time, "Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling."

Tube Scarf Knitting Patterns for beginners
Tube Scarf Knitting Patterns
I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is. Knitting needles in a variety of sizes (US 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 from the bottom). Knitting has become very popular in recent years.
While some of the stitches will be clumsy and may unravel, completing a blanket will create a sense of pride. There are online paid or free knitting lessons for beginners as well as advanced instructions. Another common type of knitting is the purl stitch, which is handled in an opposite manner than the knit stitch.
Separately knitted tubes can be applied to a knitted fabric to form complex Celtic knots and other patterns that would be difficult to knit. But in reality, a handcrafted gift, such as a knit baby blanket, costs a lot more in material and time than the mass produced blankets that you find in the store. Once you learn these two stitches you will find everything else is just a variation of the knit and purl stitches. To form a "knit stitch" you use one needle to pull a loop of yarn through the existing stitch on the other needle.
If you are knitting with circular needles, you can start making tubular scarf for this cast around 300 stitches, and join them together in a circle. It is a very simple stitch and usually worked over a multiple of four stitches with two extra. Cable patterns are made by permuting the order of stitches; although one or two stitches may be held by hand or knit out of order, cables of three or more generally require a cable needle. It does not require any special or inborn talent to start knitting.
Keep YOUR knitting on the "Cutting Edge" with FREE patterns. But, that's the essence of knitting.

MOSCOW, 20 Oct – PRIME. Nokia reported lower-than-expected quarterly operating income today, although the Finnish telecommunications equipment maker continues to benefit from strong demand from carriers amid the rollout of 5G networks, Reuters reported.
Tesla’s third-quarter revenue hit record highs
Nokia’s third-quarter comparable operating profit rose to €658 million from €633 million a year earlier. The consensus forecast of 10 analysts, compiled by Refinitiv, suggested a figure of 690.6 million euros.
CEO Pekka Lundmark said that while increased macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty could affect the capital expenditures of some customers, Nokia forecast growth in its markets in 2023 at constant exchange rates.
“Given our recent success with new 5G deals in regions like India set to gain momentum in 2023, we believe we can confidently outperform the market and move closer to meeting our long-term margin targets,” the CEO added.
Net sales of Nokia in the 3rd quarter at constant exchange rates rose by 6% to 6.24 billion euros, beating the forecast at 6.06 billion euros.
At the same time, the comparable operating margin decreased from 11.7% to 10.5%. The improvement in profitability in the mobile networks and network infrastructure businesses was offset by the impact of contract renewals in Nokia Technologies, the company explained.
Rival Ericsson also reported lower-than-expected 3Q underlying earnings today.
Nokia shares have lost about 15% since the beginning of the year, while Ericsson shares have fallen 28% and the European telecommunications sector – 15%.

The Lovereading4Kids comment
September 2014 Debut of the Month An unexpected present, a very old book with unusual powers and a twelve-year-old with an inquisitive mind are at the heart of this exciting adventure. When Archie Greene is given a dusty old book and an instruction to visit an obscure bookshop in Oxford he soon finds he has been chosen as the apprentice to a book binder in the Museum of Magical Miscellany. Here Archie finds enchanted bookshelves, spell-weaving librarians and, above all, his own powers as a book whisperer. But there are also evil forces at work and Archie needs all his skills – human and magical – to get everyone out of trouble.
