Mike Sheridan likely to run for Senate seat
JANESVILLE—Encouraged by a poll that suggests he would be a strong candidate for the 15th Senate District, Mike Sheridan said Thursday he likely will announce his candidacy next week.
“I've gotten lots of calls, and I want to take the weekend to think about,” said Sheridan, the former Democrat who represented Janesville in the 44th Assembly District and was Assembly speaker when he was unseated in 2010.
A poll posted Wednesday on the WisPolitics website showed that Sheridan and the only declared candidate, Rep. Janis Ringhand, D-Evansville, are in a virtual dead heat for the August primary.
Ringhand is giving up her 45th Assembly District seat to run for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville.
In February, Sheridan told The Gazette he had asked Rep. Andy Jorgensen, D-Milton, to run for state Senate.
When Jorgensen declined, Sheridan said his phone started ringing.
A former General Motors employee and president of United Auto Workers Local 95, Sheridan was first elected to the Assembly in 2004 and ascended to the powerful position of Assembly speaker in 2009.
Soon thereafter, he disclosed he was dating a lobbyist for the payday loan industry around the time he softened his stance on regulating that industry. He was going through a divorce at the time.
Wednesday's poll, which surveyed 305 likely voters in the August primary, found that Sheridan received twice as many favorable reactions as he did unfavorable.
According to the California company that conducted the poll, that represents “the first indication that any possible damage to his image from the lobbying controversy in his final term as Speaker is minor.”
Asked Thursday who sponsored the poll, Sheridan said it was done by a number of different labor groups.
Sheridan has been the lobbyist for the state AFL-CIO since 2012.

Firstly, I want to say 'thank you' very much for all your messages of support and reassurances in relation to my last post.
As some of you may remember, my mum has recently been diagnosed with Emphysema and Fibrosis and although she is now home from hospital having spent 8 days there and being provided with some medication, she is still quite breathless even after walking a short distance.
I am trying my best to reassure her that once she starts her pulmonary rehab course and has her appointment with the respiratory clinic to maybe adjust her medication as well as possibly put her on home oxygen things will improve, however, she remains petrified. She was an extremely active lady, so to see her not really wanting to go out because of her breathlessness is heartbreaking and whilst we know it will never be cured, I'd like to be able to properly reassure her that she will become more active once she has had her appointments.
Can anyone reassure me (which I can pass on to her) that the medications and exercises will help as well as those that have oxygen at home, that it does indeed give you the ability to be more active.
She is currently using a 'Fostair' inhaler, 'Salamol' inhaler, Tiotropium and Acetylcysteine capsules - I've seen other posts where people are on different medications so am hoping my mums may get changed which will make an improvement.
Any advice, reassurance or help would be greatly appreciated.

European proposals to curb bonuses and limit risk-taking may be well designed, but the restrictions would be all too easy to sidestep.
In its July session, the European Parliament approved some of the strictest rules in the world on the bonuses paid to bankers. The aim is to curb risk-taking by financial institutions.
The new rules require that no more than 30% of bankers’ bonuses be paid in cash, that between 40% and 60% be deferred for at least three years, and that at least 50% be invested in ‘contingent capital’, a new form of debt that converts to equity when a financial company is in distress.
The most innovative aspect of these new rules is that the limits apply not only to financial institutions’ chief executive officers, but also to all the top managers (though the definition of top managers is delegated to national parliaments).
The alleged justification for this major interference in private contracting is the systemic effect that these bonuses can have. High pay in the banking sector, so the argument goes, rewards success but does not penalise failure. Managers can easily move from firm to firm when things go badly, avoiding any punishment. This system rewards managers for taking risks, even when the risk is excessive. This distortion is perceived to be one of the main causes of the 2008 financial crisis.
The problem with this argument is that there is no evidence supporting the first crucial link in its logic. Much research has tried to establish a connection between bankers’ compensation schemes and risk-taking, but has failed to find one. At most, such research has found that more highly paid executives took greater risks, but it is unclear whether this is a cause or an effect. Executives in highly leveraged institutions should be paid more, because they bear more risk.
To be sure, these investigations are limited to banks’ top five executives, for which data is publicly available. Unfortunately, there is no publicly available data to establish a causal relationship between bonuses’ pay-for-performance sensitivity and risk-taking for lower-level managers.
In this respect, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC), established by the United States government, has a unique opportunity. Thanks to its subpoena powers, the FCIC can collect and analyse such data. Hopefully, when its report is published in December, we will be able to answer this question.
If we assume that a causal relationship exists, the European directive seems to be fairly well designed, with one main shortcoming.
It is well designed because it interferes not with the level of compensation (as many have demanded), but with the form that this compensation takes. It requires that most of an annual bonus not only be deferred for three years, but also that it be put at risk. If the company performs poorly in the three years, the manager will lose part or all of his or her accumulated bonus. This reduces incentives to take risk, though it does not eliminate them.
The main shortcoming is that these restrictions can be circumvented easily, since they apply only to bonuses, whereas banks maintain discretion over the mix between salary and bonus. Currently, bank managers receive their bonuses at the beginning of each year, with the level based on their individual performance during the previous year. It would be very easy to transform last year’s bonus, based on last year’s performance, into this year’s salary. The salary, which can be paid entirely in cash, will be renegotiated every year, thereby skirting all the regulatory restrictions. Without direct government intervention, it would be difficult to fix the problem.
In large financial institutions, however, the incentive to gamble at taxpayers’ expense applies not only to managers; it extends to bondholders, who are de facto protected by the government. Having access to insured credit, banks’ shareholders find it irresistible to borrow excessively. Restricting managers’ incentive pay without changing shareholders’ incentives will only force shareholders to be more actively involved in the company and choose other ways to increase the level of risk-taking.
If the problem is the moral hazard implied by being too big to fail, the solution is not to restrict pay, but to eliminate the hazard by forcing shareholders to issue more equity or lose their stock when a bank’s debt starts to become risky. This can be done easily, with a regulator intervening every time the credit-default swaps share of the financial institution’s debt becomes too high.
If we want to intervene on pay in addition to (not instead of) reforming capital requirements, the most effective way is a variation of the tax imposed by Gordon Brown when he was the UK’s prime minister: a special tax on all compensation above a certain threshold that is not paid in stock. This tax would have two positive effects: it would induce banks to recapitalise, thereby reducing their excessive leverage, while forcing managers to have more skin in the game.
If the solution is so simple, why has no elected body implemented it? My fear is that politicians want to be perceived as tough on bankers, but have no interest in really fixing the problem.

Good for them! A great resource for people who wonder what it's all about.
Thanks for posting the link.
Interesting that "focus ring" is translated to "DOF control ring", early in the video.
P.S. at one point, the translated dialog says "tilt", when I think it should say "shift"; otherwise, it looks pretty good.

Transcript for Search for Missing Malaysia Flight MH370 Continues
Two weeks now since flight 370 disappeared. Right now, the Australian Navy and six planes in on the hunt. Three warships from China and a top secret U.S. Submarine hunter. 26 countries involved in an unprecedented effort, scrambling for clues of any kind. The massive search is targeted and intensifying. This week satellite images showed what looks like debris out in the open motion, but so far they have not been able to confirm those spot the were connected to the flight.

Digicel worried, LIME welcomes telecoms changes
Telecommunications company Digicel is raising concern about the government’s move to have the Office of Utilities Regulations (OUR), set interim wholesale and retail telecommunications rates.
However, its competitor LIME is welcoming the proposed changes to the Telecoms Act.
The government is pushing to have amendments to the Telecommunications Act, which would enable the new regulation policy, to be established into law by weekend.
The amendments were passed in the House of Representatives yesterday and the Senate will consider the bill later this week.
If passed, the bill will be sent to the governor general for his assent shortly thereafter.
Interconnectivity rates across LIME and Digicel are currently as high as $9.00 and sources close to the discussions say the OUR has proposed that the rates the networks pay each other be lowered to $5.00.
However, last night Digicel said while it was unable to fully comment on the draft bill at this time, it has noted with grave concern the overarching powers which the Government is seeking to grant the OUR.
Digicel is questioning whether the move is necessary and says it could negatively impact the company’s investment in Jamaica.
However in a media release last night, LIME, said the move to amend the law was good news for consumers as providers will now be better able to compete.
Opposition spokesman on telecommunications, Daryl Vaz also said the move to have the OUR set the rates is a positive one which will benefit consumers.
Meanwhile, if amendments to the Telecoms Act are passed, the OUR and the Spectrum Management Authority will be able to impose sanctions for breaches of the act.
Technology Minister Phillip Paulwell said the agencies will be empowered to demand certain information from telecoms licensees.
The legislation will now require mobile companies to share cell towers instead of the current practise of each having their own.
Paulwell said this is aimed at bringing order to the system.
The amendments could also see mobile phone users having the ability to switch networks while retaining their telephone number.
Paulwell said number portability will go a long way in driving consumer choice.

Spinal stenosis affects between eight and 11 percent of people and is on the rise in lockstep with an aging population. Thoracic spinal stenosis is a relatively rare condition, however. Stenosis most commonly affects the lower back or lumbar region. The second most common region is the neck or cervical area.
While lumbar and cervical spinal stenosis often responds well to conservative, non-surgical treatment, thoracic spinal stenosis typically requires surgery to address the compressed spinal cord or nerve roots.
It’s important to know a little bit about the anatomical structure of the thoracic spine to understand what makes thoracic spinal stenosis so unique. The 12 vertebrae of the thoracic spine, numbered T1 through T12, are each separated by a disc and attached to the ribcage. The vertebra at the top of the thoracic spine, T1, is also attached to the cervical spine, while T-12 at the bottom is connected to the lumbar spine.
The thoracic spine and the sternum and ribs play a key role in protecting the heart and lungs. But its location in the body also makes it less flexible than other parts of the spine and therefore less susceptible to temporary pain relief. With other types of stenosis, patients are often able to lean forward, over a shopping cart, for example, and relieve their pain temporarily. This is a telltale symptom of stenosis that we refer to as the “shopping cart sign.” Because the thoracic vertebrae are attached to the ribs, patients can’t flex to reduce the compression the way they would if they had cervical or lumbar stenosis.
Causes of thoracic spinal stenosis
The most common cause of spinal stenosis is osteoarthritis. This condition affects millions of people, mostly after the age of 50. It can impact not just the spine, but any joint in the body. Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that exists at the ends of our bones gradually breaks down. When it occurs in the spine, the spinal canal is narrowed, which compresses the spinal cord and/or spinal nerves, causing pain.
Spinal stenosis can also be caused by:
- Herniated discs—Herniated discs can happen because of normal wear and tear as a result of aging, an injury, or a traumatic event. Herniated discs are also sometimes called bulging or protruding discs.
- Spondylolisthesis—This painful condition occurs when one or more vertebra slips from their normal place in the spine. Most commonly, a vertebra slides over the one that lies just beneath it. This condition typically affects the lower back but can also affect the middle back, triggering thoracic spinal stenosis.
- Bone spurs—A common complication of osteoarthritis and joint damage, bone spurs can grow into the spinal canal, putting pressure on the nerves and causing great discomfort.
- Enlarged facet joints—When the joints between the vertebrae degenerate, the cartilage inside the facet joints can become inflamed.
- Inflammation of the spinal canal ligament—This ligament can thicken with age, becoming inflamed and causing constriction.
Symptoms of thoracic spinal stenosis
Symptoms of spinal stenosis can vary widely depending on the placement and the individual. If you only have one easy-to-manage symptom, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Some others may have multiple symptoms that are extremely painful.
The most common symptoms of thoracic spinal stenosis include:
- Extreme weakness in the feet and/or legs
- Numb feet and/or legs
- A feeling of heaviness or stiffness in your legs
- Loss of balance or difficulty when walking and/or standing
Less common symptoms of thoracic spinal stenosis may include:
- Pain that is concentrated in the middle of your back or ribs or along one side of your body
- Pain in one or both legs
- Chest or abdominal constriction
- Bowel or bladder problems*
*Loss of bladder or bowel control is an indicator of cauda equina syndrome, a rare but very serious condition that requires immediate care and intervention. If this is happening to you, go to the emergency room immediately.
Getting a diagnosis
Whether you have only one symptom or many, it’s crucial to get to the doctor. Make an appointment and come see us. Not only is an immediate diagnosis the only way to put you on a path to a pain-free life, but delaying your diagnosis could be dangerous if your condition progresses and becomes increasingly debilitating.
During the initial appointment at the DISC Spine Institute, you will have an opportunity to discuss your pain and any other symptoms you’re experiencing. We will study your medical history and your MRI if you have already had one. At that time, we’ll determine if additional tests are needed. For thoracic spinal stenosis diagnoses, we use CT scans, MRIs, and special spine x-rays called flexion and extension views to help check the stability of your spine.
Treatment for thoracic spinal stenosis
The anatomical structure involved in thoracic stenosis can make it harder to treat conservatively, so pain management will be key right away while we consider the best surgical options. The severity of your condition, your overall health, and other details of your lifestyle are some of the determining factors that will help us devise the best treatment plan for you.
It should be noted that thoracic myelopathy is a term that refers to compression of the middle area of the spinal cord. When this is the diagnosis and the case is mild, we generally approach treatment with a combination of physical therapy and medications first, followed by thorough monitoring. If the condition progresses or if it’s a more severe case, we make a surgery plan.
Minimally invasive laminectomy is the most common surgical procedure to treat spinal stenosis. During this non-fusion surgery, a small incision is made on the back. The muscles are gently moved aside, so we can easily access the affected portion of the spine and create more space in the spinal canal to take the pressure off of the impacted nerves. We do this by making a hole in the part of the vertebral arch called the lamina to eliminate the compression.
More than 95 percent of minimally invasive laminectomies are outpatient procedures. They are performed endoscopically, through a tiny incision less than an inch long. There is minimal muscle disruption and no sutures to remove afterward. Patients typically only need a BAND-AID on their incision site and go home the same day as their surgery.
Thoracic spinal fusions are often performed in conjunction with a laminectomy to fuse the vertebrae with bone grafts or other materials. This is done to strengthen and stabilize the spine. Spinal fusions may be done as a minimally invasive or open procedure depending on the condition of the patient and various other determining factors. When performed as a minimally invasive procedure, spinal fusion is done on an outpatient basis, with a one-inch-long incision and no stitches to remove after.
We remove a small piece of bone and soft tissue during a minimally invasive foraminotomy procedure through a small incision in the back that is less than an inch long. This is done by using specialized instruments to expand the area where the spinal nerves leave the spinal canal, eliminating the compression. Minimally invasive foraminotomy is performed as an outpatient procedure and is sutureless.
About DISC Spine Institute
If you’re concerned that your back pain is thoracic spinal stenosis or simply want to move forward with feeling better, contact the DISC Spine Institute, leading DFW disc and spine centers, and experts in minimally invasive treatments, the most effective medical procedures to treat and eliminate chronic back pain. Treating back pain in Texas is easier than ever, with minimally invasive treatments that mean short hospital stays, and shorter recoveries.
Today’s minimally invasive procedures include outpatient treatments and easier surgical treatments with small incisions and a quicker recovery time instead of a long hospital stay. With several DISC spine centers located throughout Dallas-Fort Worth and staffed by top Board-certified orthopedic spine surgeons, the DISC Spine Institute is well-prepared to help patients through their spinal conditions to get back to a pain-free life.

Whereas it’s one thing comparatively new, on one hand we will say that it’s not new, however an age previous apply, which is adhering to the Triumvirate of Indian values – extra generally generally known as “
Satyam, Shivam, ”.
Satyam (reality) is the moral element of enterprise, the important thing ethics that should be adhered to on the core, whether or not in enterprise or occupation or no matter we do. It’s identical to how we as skilled funding managers at all times hold ethics in our core, ranging from the enterprise actions and persevering with in our day by day lives.
Shivam (welfare) is the financial goal of enterprise which successfully consists of serving society at giant. Its identical to within the funding occupation we’re working for not simply our administration charges but in addition for a broader good thing about society, by serving to our buyers meet their monetary objectives.
Sundaram (magnificence) is the best way through which we have to focus not exterior magnificence however on the aesthetical outlook for enterprise, purity of concepts and morality in habits which is essential for any enterprise or occupation.
After the bulletins on the COP-26 assembly a couple of months in the past, all main economies together with India, have elevated their tempo of shifting in direction of sustainable power and decreasing our carbon footprint.
« Again to suggestion tales
We should be conscious that it’s not simply the massive companies, however in particular person capability, you and I are additionally contributing to the carbon emissions in a really massive means. How? Within the night, after you might be again dwelling from work and you compromise in your comfy nook for some enjoyable Korean webseries to unwind with, the corporate offering the streaming has to make sure speedy entry of that content material reaching your display screen. For this to work, they’ve to make sure their giant datacentres stay fired up with excessive potential pace. Varied estimates counsel that by 2025, about 1/fifth of the worldwide electrical energy will probably be consumed by datacentres.
This results in the search for extra electrical energy and power from sustainable or renewable sources. As India and the remainder of the world put together themselves for the COP27 assembly in Egypt in direction of the tip of 2022, there’s a big urgency to maneuver towards the targets of internet zero. However this isn’t going to be simple or low-cost. There are numerous estimates and a broad consensus is that for reaching “internet zero” globally, investments of greater than US$5 trillion will probably be wanted.
With such giant investments estimated over the subsequent 2 a long time, coverage makers in addition to institutional buyers will play a really essential function. So in my opinion, we as finance professionals must improve our contributions in an enormous means. Asset managers have been rising integration utilizing sustainable investing methods. Many main asset managers not simply globally however even in India
(together with DSPMF, the agency I work with) have develop into signatories to the United Nations Ideas of Accountable Investing or extra generally known as UNPRI. Giant asset homeowners like Pension Funds & Sovereign Wealth Funds now demand that their investments are aligned with ESG and the Sustainable Growth Targets.
Elevated consciousness and information enhancement is being unfold by accountable institutes and schools which have not too long ago launched particular MBA applications and certifications in ESG Investing to help finance professionals to grasp environmental, social, and governance elements within the real-world investing. However nonetheless, such giant quantities of investments will not be going to be simple.
One of many broader learnings from the final two years of residing inside the pandemic has taught us that issues are by no means nearly as good or as dangerous as they appear. Key’s to look via that, focus in your capacity to function within the state of affairs, and develop. It was very heartening to notice that in 2021 India has already develop into 1 of the Prime 3 international locations for Funding & Deployment alternatives in Renewables as per the EY Renewable Power Attractiveness Index. India’s rank raised from 7 in 2020 primarily as a consequence of initiatives on Photo voltaic entrance which had seen the Photo voltaic Energy capability in India rising to 39 GW overtaking Wind capability for first time! Now after the funds 2022, India introduced its Inexperienced Hydrogen Coverage which may very well be a sport changer in sustainable power.
All of us need to work collectively, beginning with small steps. Bear in mind, our economic system is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the surroundings, and all the most effective funding concepts would come to nought if we don’t handle the surroundings.
(The writer, Anil Ghelani is Senior Vice President, Head of Passive Investments & Merchandise, DSP Funding Managers)

Sun King CANvitational
Canned Craft Beer Festival Returns Sept. 8
The Midwest’s largest canned craft beer festival is back. The 6th annual Sun King CANvitational will return to downtown Indianapolis on Sept. 8. Located on the west block of Georgia Street, known for Super Bowl XLVI festivities and the famed Pan Am Plaza, this year’s CANvitational will showcase more than 55 craft breweries from across America that can their beers. Award-winning breweries will offer samples of craft beer, and patrons can enjoy local food trucks and music, all in an urban downtown atmosphere. All proceeds from the event will benefit six central Indiana not-for-profits.
“For our 6th year hosting the Sun King CANvitational, six central Indiana charities will benefit from the festival proceeds,” says Sun King Brewery co-founder and head brewer Dave Colt. “Sun King has invited over 55 can craft beer friends from near and far to join us in celebration, and we are excited to announce this year’s CANlaboration is with Founders Brewing of Grand Rapids, Mich. Founders has been instrumental in the craft beer movement and our CANlaboration will be released during CANvitational.”
Sun King Brewing Company is the brainchild of Dave Colt and Clay Robinson. With the help of family and friends, the first keg of Sun King beer rolled out the door for delivery in July 2009. Now available on tap and in cans at hundreds of locations statewide, Sun King has grown into a leader in the craft brewing movement in Indiana. Sun King’s brewers handcraft flagship, seasonal and specialty beers that have been rewarded with multiple medals at the Indiana Brewers Cup, the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup competitions, and the brewery donates to hundreds of community organizations throughout Indiana.
Sun King has three locations: A downtown Indianapolis brewery and tasting room, a small batch brewery and tasting room in Fishers and Sun King Spirits, a distillery in Carmel that opened in July 2018.
Tickets are on sale now and available at all Sun King locations (135 N. College Ave., downtown Indianapolis; 7848 E. 96th St., Fishers; 351 Monon Blvd, Carmel) or at canvitational.com. A sampling glass and event tasting notebook will be provided to each ticket holder.

The New York Governor’s Office has submitted its financial proposal for 4 GW of distributed solar capacity by the year 2030, at an expected cost of $0.00082/kW.

The state of New York has released a set of policy recommendations that will drive the next 4GW(dc) of distributed solar power. The state aims to reach 10 GW of installed capacity by 2030.
The recommendations can be found in a long-form report, “New York’s 10 GW Distributed Solar Roadmap: Policy Options for Continued Growth in Distributed Solar,” which describes the logic in the section-specific recommendations for an expanded NY-Sun MW Block program, as per the Governor’s Office.
The program will cost approximately $1.47 billion, which will be collected from electricity ratepayers at a cost of $0.00082 per kilowatt-hour. It is expected that an additional $4.1 billion of private capital will be invested to build out the 4 GW capacity.
The NY-Sun program is administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
Within the New York City Con Edison market, a target of 150 MW is sought from each of three sectors: residential, small commercial (specified as less than 1 MW of modules), and large (greater than 1 MW) commercial projects. The rest of the capacity – 2.94 GW – will be deployed upstate from the highly populated metropolitan area.
Long Island is expected to contribute an additional 560 MW to the 4 GW target, despite running out of incentives in 2016. The policy recommendation for the region is to press on without incentives, as installations on Long Island appear robust without them.
According to NYSERDA, the state currently has 6 GW of solar capacity either installed or officially in the pipeline, as a result of the first round of this energy procurement program.
In total, the program’s budget will increase by $1.474 billion. The funds are to be spread across a series of programs:
Recommendations are based on each regions’ performance, needs, and project sizes, as well as environmental and labor justice concerns. The Governor’s Office states that the program will deliver at least “35% of the benefits, with a goal of 40% from the investments to statutorily defined disadvantaged communities and low-to-moderate income New Yorkers.”
The aforementioned $0.00082/kWh fee, which is paid by all customers and based on the state’s current electricity usage, will be collected over an 11-year period, from 2022 through 2032. The document notes that the yearly price will vary depending upon the progression of the solar program. Average residential electricity accounts should expect an increase of $0.70 to $0.92 per month.
The state says that if the Build Back Better Act is signed, it could save the program more thabn $525 million. That’s because the New York program takes into account the money that solar investment groups will earn. The state has access to some of the world’s most talented financial professionals, who have likely been consulted to help predict just how much each incentive will move the program forward.
NYSERDA has said that if the Build Back Better legislation is signed, they will refile the proposed operating plan – lowering state incentives in response to increased federal incentives.
To reach the upstate goal of 2.9 GW of installed capacity, the state will extend and increase incentives of the existing MW Block program.
The program’s incentives will restart with Block 18, with 800 MW of capacity. Participants will receive a check for $0.17/watt of installed solar panel capacity. The increase from $0.11/watt to $0.17/watt is due to a lowered community solar adder and upcoming decreases to the investment tax credit.
The ConEdison program will pay out $1.30/watt for small projects and $0.75/watt for large projects. The 150 MW block sizes will be cut into 30 MW segments, with each following segment paying out a lower amount per watt.
The 10 gigawatt roadmap requires all projects greater than 1 MW of capacity to pay a prevailing wage. NYSERDA predicts that this will cost approximately $0.125/watt for upstate projects, and $0.20/W for ConEdison projects. Consequently, NYSERDA has asked for an additional $239 million for the NY-Sun program to be paid to contractors to offset the cost of this new requirement.

The 2 Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect certification exams explained: How to Become an Azure Architect?
Microsoft Azure is a platform that allows users to participate in elegant cloud computing and is designed to build and manipulate applications through Microsoft data centers. There are many tools within the forum that you can use to improve your IT performance dramatically. Because of its flexibility, even official Azure procedures can be incoherent and challenging to comprehend. As a basic description, Azure (formerly Windows Azure) is Microsoft’s operating system for cloud computing. Microsoft released the operational plan commercially on February 1, 2010.
It was designed to minimize ongoing expenses and simplify IT management processes, undoubtedly impacting the market. Microsoft Azure, previously called Windows Azure, is Microsoft’s public cloud computing forum. It delivers various cloud services that include computing, networking, analytics, and storage. Users can select from these services to create and mount the latest applications or drive existing applications in the public cloud. The Azure platform strives to assist companies in managing challenges and meeting their corporate objectives. Because Microsoft Azure consists of multiple service offerings, its use cases are remarkably myriad.
Microsoft Azure is the fastest-growing cloud provider. Azure revenue grew an incredible 76% in the last quarter of 2018. As more and more companies move their IT infrastructure to the Microsoft cloud platform, the demand for Azure professionals continues to rise. Since there are moderately fewer people with comprehensive Azure understanding, many employers depend on certifications as a piece of evidence that a candidate has the required knowledge and aptitudes.

One of the lost traditions, yet maintained in the Old Rite by Fathers Pimen and Theodore in Erie, Pa. is the blessing of homes (caroling) by singing the Tropar, Kondak, 9th Ode Irmos and Katavasia, Velechania, etc.
At the conclusion of Liturgy which is celebrated immediately after the midnight service , the Church is blessed and the selected choir members will form teams to visit parishioners homes for this most joyous portions of the Nativity season on Christmas morning until also those who wish it have their homes blessed; this concludes in 2-3 days.
This tradition also continues in the Old Believer Church in Detroit, and possibly in Millville NJ and Mariana,PA.
Erie's parish entered the Synod in 1984 and continues to serve all services in the Old Rite. This is done again at Theophany with the appropriate selected verses and interestingly, this tradition was also done at Pascha for a total of 3x a year.
Reader Micheal (Dius) Samueloff
Fr Stefan adds:
This tradition is called "CHRISTA SLAVIT'" (or Slavits-glorify), and those who do it are called "Christaslavi". After the tropar, kondak and velichanie a number of Russian and Ukrainian Carols are sung and then all are invited for food and a drink. I hope that we can rekindle this wonderful Nativity Tradition.
Edited, from posts of Archpriest Stefan Pavlenko and Reader Micheal (Dius) Samueloff to the ustav list, Dec 14 (ns) 2001

HOUSTON (AP) - Houston Texans rookie running back Terry Swanson rushed for a 37-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to lift the Texans to a 14-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys in their preseason finale Thursday night.
The undrafted rookie running back out of Toledo, who served as an understudy to the Chiefs' Kareem Hunt in college, found a hole with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to put the Texans up two scores. Swanson finished with 69 yards on 17 carries.
Both teams rested their starters.
Houston took a 7-3 lead in the first quarter after third-round pick safety Justin Reid intercepted Cooper Rush's pass to set up a 4-yard touchdown run by Alfred Blue. Blue, competing for the backup job behind Lamar Miller, rushed for 18 yards on four carries, while Troymaine Pope rushed for 21 yards on five carries.
The Cowboys scored on two field goals from backup kicker Brett Maher, one on their opening drive from 57 yards and one late in the fourth quarter from 41.
Texans backup quarterback Brandon Weeden started and went 3 for 9 for 22 yards. Behind Weeden, Joe Webb went 11 for 18 for 136 yards.
Rush played the entire first half and some of the third quarter, finishing 14 of 25 for 83 yards and two interceptions. Behind Rush, Mike White went 13 for 21 for 118 yards.
The two Texas teams will have a regular-season rematch in Houston in Week 5 on "Sunday Night Football." Dallas leads the series 3-1 and has won the last three meetings since the Texans won their first-ever matchup in their inaugural game in 2002.
Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott served as a team captain during the coin toss, even wearing his helmet. Before kickoff, however, Prescott put his helmet away and immediately exchanged his cleats for sneakers to settle in as a sideline spectator.
Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, who didn't play during the preseason, said at halftime he's excited to get back on the field.
"Camp is long, the preseason is long, but there is nothing like that first game when the lights come on for real," Elliott said.
Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson also wore sneakers, even fashioning a makeshift bandana out of a towel. While many Texans starters wore baseball caps on the sideline, nose tackle D.J. Reader stood out with a gray bucket hat.
No players from the Cowboys or the Texans kneeled during the national anthem.
With veteran punter Shane Lechler in a battle with rookie Trevor Daniel, the Texans alternated punts and placekick holding responsibilities. After Daniel excelled in the first half, he punted one out of bounds that went just 30 yards. Lechler followed with a booming 61-yard punt to the Dallas 20-yard line.
MANCZ GETS EXTENSION
The Texans signed starting center Greg Mancz to a two-year contract extension on Thursday. Mancz, an undrafted free agent out of Toledo in 2015, played 10 games, starting seven, in 2017. Houston used a second-round tender on Mancz in the offseason and will pay him $1.907 million this season.
No injuries were announced during the game.
Cowboys (0-4): open their season at the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 9.
Texans (3-1): visit the New England Patriots for their season opener on Sept. 9.

As a dog lover and an SNL fan (more Cowbell), I truly enjoyed this post by Jenny Hansen. Ms. Hansen shares the lessons learned from her beloved pet. Enjoy!
Since it was National Dog Day this week, I’m celebrating the pet who rocked my lifetime. Have you had one of those? The kind of pet who’s a member of the family, and who is mourned long after they’re gone?
Hoshi was everything a dog should be: loyal, loving, sweet-tempered, funny. She totally laughed at my jokes and she was around for all my big “life milestones.”
And then one day, 17 days after my daughter was born, Hoshi let me know it was time to go. There are so many up sides to pet ownership, but the biggest downside in my opinion is their short life span.
They will always go before we do.Dammit.
Hoshi lived a stupendously long life for a 90 pound dog; she was fourteen-and-a-half years old when she left to frolic in that Puppy Lake in the Sky.
It’s never easy to say goodbye to a…

ROOMEY comfortable living room With two Comfy couches. Apt is on the first floor right next to everything and a block away from A and 1 MTA train. This train is express! All of NYC and even NJ is accessible from here. The famous Dyckman strip with all venues.literally walk outside n have everything!
Older building adds character! Guests may be in the Living room. Blankets, towel, utensils and internet are provided (but always bring your own incase we run out!).
- read description and rules carefully.
***This is Angela's son, KDN Jimenez. I handle everything for this listing, this is my moms place but I live here at the moment and I am the guy in the profile picture to the left. Please make sure to read the description and rules to understand. You can also find my Airbnb profile as "KDN Jimenez" where there are many reviews.
***This listing was under my account before but since my mom is the rightful owner I had to put it under her due to Airbnb regulation. Please let me know if you have any questions around that.
You will be interacting with my son as he manages my home :-D And he is the one you will be roommates with in the other room.
- Most NYC buildings have steam heaters and so they can be noisy when it is really cold. Please be aware of this and bring up if a concern
- Leave Shoes at door
- Fold linen after use (make bed)
- Clean up after yourself (no dirty dishes, hair in drain, dirty stove top, or spilled water on counters)
- don't use address for mail. Mail is private. If it is for emergency then let me know before hand. And always make sure there's no repetitive mail coming in.
Main things to pay attention to: (look over the bottom of the page for further details):
- Follow rules as much as possible. It allows for further hosting and to also keep prices affordable because expenses are kept low. If we are all on the page from the beginning then we can move forward that much easier and have a great time! :-D
-Read descriptions before asking questions that may be answered there. Usually that is the case.
- So when you get here the building number is 1319 but the maps number is 19 . They haven't updated the numbers for some reason.
- Shared space means there may be another guest in the area or in another bed. Clarify that with me if it is a concern.
- Be conscience that there are other people living in the other room or apt so treat us/them with respect and expect normal roommate living situations like guests, family, use of common area, lifestyle habits, and good communication. Most things will be kept to everyone's private area though.
- Once booked, you are officially my guest/Roommate. So welcome to the family! But do note that I travel a lot and so I am not always around and I may have guests or family/friends with me or w/o me sometimes in the other room so just be conscious of them and treat them as awesome as possible.
- if someone knocks on door as of now just don't open or let them know that I am away (if I am not around). If they ask,let them know you are just a friend visiting. From time to time my super or neighbor may be looking for me but I'd rather speak to them myself and keep everything private, you know. Please be discrete and don't let doors slam.
- Clean after yourself with a mother's eye :-) (kitchen, stove top, counters, tub, drain, water, stuff, etc). Trash should be thrown out as much as possible along with recycling. There should be no overnight dishes please (Wash right away or use disposable utensils instead). Fold your linen & make your bed especially on couch. Wipe down areas of use including water on sink counter and pick up any hair or debris left on floor or bath drain.
- This is an older building in NYC, therefore do not expect a modern impecable look. Instead expect one with character and use ;-D
- As much as we clean, this is an older building and it's normal and also possible to have some form of pests (i.e. ants, roaches, mice, etc). Usually we don't have problem with this but sometimes they can come in from neighboring apartments or if someone leaves food out. Just notify me and the bug spray should be within the kitchen cabinets or on top of fridge. Also the exterminator comes every month, please let them in if they knock. By helping us stay clean during your stay this issue is greatly minimized and it's more likely not to see ANY :-D. If you are uncomfortable with this, I think a different more modern listing would be better for you or just consult with me and ill gladly help.
- Conserve energy as much as possible. Don't leave the fridge open too long, the AC shouldn't be turned on all night especially with windows open (normally cools in an hour), water shouldn't be left running unused, unplug items not in use, turn off lights not in use, etc.
- Building has surveillance so please treat it with care and clean up after yourself. Don't slam doors and respect the neighbors.
- Sometimes there are paper and notices on the door of the. Holding entrance or apartment. These contain very valuable information as to what's happening in the building. Sometimes they state whether there are some repairs going on or water will be shut off. Please read these and lead me know that they are happening so I am aware invade I didn't see them myself and for you to be aware as well.
- Please do not bring any drugs or have marijuana on you when you come in. Especially the marijuana smell since this bothers me and roommates. Please either do this on your spare time outdoors and clean up afterward before entering home.
- No smoking indoors
- No pets or unauthorized guests (ask first)
- Guest are responsible for their area, damages and loss of items. Notify immediately if there is something that needs attention or an emergency.
- Towel, bed sheet, bed cover, pillow, toilet paper, shampoo are provided but bring your own in case.
- More than likely you will self check in, unless we can specifically do so. read below for instructions.
- There are fees for early/late check ins and to leave luggage. Just read below.
- There is a cancelation policy so make sure you book properly.
- Ask about our other services like cell phone and anything related to real estate.
- Have fun and proceed with the following if you need further details!
- Have fun and proceed with the following if you need further details!
- look at the services at bottom for special SERVICES!
- Message me pass phrase “Bonus points are the best” once read.
Make sure to read the other description and the bottom of the page to have all your questions answered and learn more about the affordable cellphone services we offer and more.
Keep in mind it IS a living room and two young adults live here. We live a fairly active lifestyle with different schedules. So there may be some light traveling between the rooms, music playing in room, and other activities especially on weekend nights. Be mindful of our space as well. Please let us know if something is too loud or you have a concern. We care about how you feel as. We firmly believe prevention is better than curing :-D
No smoking indoors but feel free to use the fire escape or do it outside. Gently close the front door so it doesn't slam. If anything is broken notify me or if you cause some damages please try to replace it or let me know.
This building is surveillanced and any damages or issues that happen in the hallways or in front of building will be reported to us by the super so please replace damaged items or clean up anything left behind in building premise. Also make sure the doors aren't slammed hard. They will have video footage if anything is reported so please just respect the neighbors and the building and all should be fine. Also, dont go into the backyard of the basement, that is private property of the superintendent who lives there.
In winter the heater makes a hissing noise due to being steam powered and it is controlled by the building and sometimes cannot be shut off. This is the case in most of NYC buildings but if it's a concern please bring it up and we'll try and situate you furthest from it. It's usually temporary for 30 minutes or so depending on cold.
Clean up after yourself please and don't let things pile up. That means no overnight dishes, no hair or suds left behind in tub, pick up hair left behind in drain, make sure to clean any hair or residue left behind when using brush or drying hair, wipe the mirror after brushing teeth, clean off the water after using faucet, use foam dishes and cups, Clean the stove top or oven thoroughly after use (there is always grease and food left behind after use), etc. be conscious of foul smell like food and even maybe a garnet I your body. Just be considerate of what you're leaving behind.
Also make sure to not leave food or lightly packaged food outside on table or anywhere that is not a fridge or packed in a hard container because we DO live in NYC and it has the potential to attract pests that we don't want like mice and roaches. So please help us keep the place clean as well by putting food (bread, open containers, etc) in the fridge or in a hard container.
When in the summer you may use the air conditioner but be mindful that you don't use it for too long. On average it takes about a 30-60 minutes to cool down the room and there may be no need to leave it on further especially over night so be mindful to not leave it on too long because it does consume a HUGE amount of energy and we want to keep our costs fair and affordable as well as help the environment.
Ask me before bringing extra guests and make sure they aren't reckless. Enjoy everything and make it feel like it's your home. Just be sure to respect the neighbors and get no complaints.
Let me know what times you want to check in and out. I usually prefer after 5pm on weekdays and before 8pm on weekends to check in. To check out its best to do so by 10am-12pm (10:00-12:00). If you have a different time just let me know and I can arrange someone to help you. I'm usually flexible with times. You just have to try and hold up to your times since I will be waiting to give you the keys.
In the case that you are late to arrival or I am unable to receive you then you can do self check in. At the building entrance just wait until someone opens the building Door which happens about every 5-10 mins. And then go to the apartment and use lockbox code on the lock box hanging from the door knob. Ask for the lockbox code when accepted. Use the code to get the key from inside the box. Just put it back on knob when done and your actual keys to walk around with will be on the living room table :-D
If anyone asks where I am tell them I left for the day and will be back later or that you are a friend temporarily visiting. All I ask is that you respect the home and everything should be fine :-D . If you liked your stay leave a 5 star review!
Make sure to read description and "getting around" section for information. Usually that'll answer most of your questions.
Guest take responsibility for any issues or damages in their area unless a very sound reason can be provided. If anything happens you should notify us immediately.
Early check in would be $10/person more and is an option as long as previous guests are not there.
To leave Luggage before or after stay would be $5/per luggage/per day/night since it occupies space. To leave it for a short time after stay(max 2 hours) , can be done free of charge if it is convenient for us and the following guest.
There is keys that we distribute to our guests. If you happen to lose the keys then it'll take several days to get another copy because it has to go through the building and they charge us $30 plus the small key. So $35 in total would be your fee if you lose them. This is inconvenient, so please don't lose them and keep them safe.
If you are a tourist or someone in need of a more affordable cellphone service, Remember to ask me about cellphone plans ande services we offer :-D

The wood aging is already surrounded by ripe, intense black fruits. A fresher character comes from the bright acidity of the vintage, giving the wine a lift. The aftertaste is long and concentrated. Drink from 2024.

Good Shepherd family & friends,
The leadership of Good Shepherd met Sunday, March 15 after the church service to discuss ways we, as a congregation, can help stem the rapid growth of this virus, and also how we can best help the most vulnerable in our communities.
It was decided that the following will be implemented immediately as we continue to monitor the changes taking place around us:
1) The following functions WILL CONTINUE to take place at Good Shepherd until further notice:
· Adult Sunday School class at 9:00am
· Sunday morning worship services at 10:30am (with prayer time at 10:00am)
· Confirmation classes
· Wednesday women’s Bible study
· Wednesday evening Lenten Services at 6:45pm
· Choir after Wednesday evening Lenten Services
2) This means the following changes, through at least March 29:
· No Sunday School classes for high school age and younger
· No Fellowship Time at 10am on Sunday mornings
· No Tuesday morning women’s Bible study
· No Wednesday evening Soup Suppers
· No Wednesday evening Kids LiGHT
· No Wednesday evening Youth Group or other youth group activities
Additionally, if you choose to participate in the church activities, please note the following:
· Extra efforts are being made to make sure our public spaces are extremely well cleaned.
· Hand Sanitizers will also be available.
· We will not be passing the Offering plates during any worship services, but will have the plates in the Sanctuary before and after the service.
Other things to remember:
· If you or anyone in your family has a fever or cough, please stay home.
· Anyone with underlying health conditions or those who are elderly are encouraged to stay home.
Also, the pastors and deacons will be brainstorming for creative ways to continue engaging with all ages of our congregation during this time.
In order to help protect those within our congregation, we ask that if you are at risk (elderly, have an underlying health condition, etc.) and you don’t want to venture out into public places at this time, please contact Pastor Rob, Pastor Mark, or one of the deacons. We will gladly help get groceries, run errands, or anything else you may need.
If you are unable, or choose not to attend any services at Good Shepherd during this time, please know we support your decision. We desire each family represented at Good Shepherd to do what you feel is right for your family, and we sincerely pray that this pandemic will pass quickly.
Pastor Rob, Pastor Mark, and the Deacons

Guido has been asking around his Labour Party sources. Nobody has any knowledge of a planned Milburn putsch
– though one source said he would support one. The difficulty in a candidate getting 71 nominations from the PLP is irrelevant, the rules state that a challenge had to be in place in April for the party conference. Guido’s Sage of the Handbook
says it doesn’t really matter about the rules. If a significant number of Labour MPs told Brown to go, he would have to go. If only people like Milburn, Clarke, Hoey or McDonnell say it, he can weather it.
The sage thought that if only a handful of members of the cabinet were to tell Brown to his face that he had to go for the sake of the party, that would be that. Jack Straw would be the man deputised to do the job. Brown has been a disaster for the Labour Party, he can’t be the change he promised, he is clearly physically and politically exhausted. Will Jack be the one to put him out of his misery on Friday?
Word is that Gordon will flee to Fife on Friday. What was it Alex Salmond called him? “The big feartie from Fife”
will want to be well away from any PLP posse wanting mutiny. When there is trouble he will be gone…

I love The Great British Bake Off and watched the entire thing agog last season, but in particular I loved the episode all about sweet dough recipes. Kimberley made Chai Spiced Ginger and Date Loaf (drool!), Howard made German sticky pecan buns (dribble!), Glen made Almond and Apricot brioches (yum!) – yes its fair to say I’ve got a very sweet tooth and I love my carbs! Which is unfortunate when it comes to the waist line but lets gloss over that!
I have been wanting to try out something like this for a while now and decided that this week in my bit of spare time I would attempt Paul Hollywood’s cinnamon spiced buns. I decided to make them with pecans and sultanas. I bought all the ingredients. Then I read and re-read the recipe and realised that, with three separate provings, the preparation time and the actual bake, I would be looking at a day spent rushing to and from the kitchen and essentially have to bin off everything else in my (very busy) schedule. Now I look again at the demographic of the contestants on GBBO all I’m seeing is the more mature ladies, the gay men and the students. Not a one of them appears to be the mother of toddler. There’s definitely a reason for that!
So any hoo, I decided best put all those fab ingredients to some other, slightly less demanding task. I did a quick google on the ingredients and came up with this apple, pecan and cinnamon cake recipe from Waitrose.
Unfortunately for me, although I did everything to the letter, I’d forgotten that my flipping gas oven never cooks evenly and always burns anything baked at the temperatures and times given. When I came to remove my lovely cake from the oven I already knew that I was in trouble and as soon as I peeled it out of the tin I was presented with a layer of pure charcoal round the edges and all over the bottom of the cake.
Fortunately, with a bit of slicing I managed to salvage about two thirds of the cake. As you can see below it doesn’t look all that bad and I can absolutely, 100 per cent guarantee that it is absolutely delicious!! The combination of the toasty pecans, cinnamon and moist apples is sooo good!
Here’s what you have to do:
150g light brown sugar
150g self raising flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 eggs beaten
2 tbsp milk
2 eating apples (I used Gala apples) peeled and cored
100g pack of pecans roughly chopped
Preheat oven to 180C/gas 4 and then grease an 18cm loose bottom or springform cake tin and line with non stick baking parchment (I did this but I’m not exactly sure why you need the parchment and I found the paper got a bit burnt).
Add the softened butter (cut into cubes) to the sugar and mix together.
Add the sifted flour, the cinnamon and the eggs and mix in. Stir in the milk.
Mix in the apple pieces, sultanas and pecans.
Transfer to cake tin and put in the oven for 1 hr – 1 hr & 10 mins, or until cooked and a skewer, when inserted, comes out clean.
I then made a very quick and simple icing using about a tablespoon’s worth of unrefined golden icing sugar and a couple of squeezes of orange juice from a freshly cut orange and I drizzled this over the top. And voila!

Vaginal Steams and The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy with Jen Poll, LMT
Why You Might Want a Steam Bath for your Lady Parts and How Self Abdominal Massage May Help Your Fertility
Description: Our guest today is my dear friend, Jen Poll. Jen is a Licensed Massage Therapist in St. Petersburg, Florida. We have a great talk with Jen on the techniques of vaginal steams, abdominal massage, and her inspiration from teachings of Don Elijio Panti and Rosita Arvigo. Steaming and Abdominal Massage can be a great way for women to maintain and achieve uterine health, to reconnect with their own body and reclaim any power they may have previously surrendered. We cover what a vaginal steam is, and why a woman may want to steam her lady parts. The massage and steam can be as ritualized as you want or can be a scheduled simple self-care technique. We also cover what to expect during the process and situations where you may want to wait before jumping in.
[:49] Jen is a Licensed massage therapist in St. Petersburg, Florida. In 2008, Jen traveled to the Pacific Northwest to train as a practitioner of The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy. Having personally benefited from the techniques, Jen was eager to learn the work and share this ancient healing with others. I had the pleasure of working with Jen in a previous practice so I know first hand the transformative work she provides as I’ve referred countless patients and even been a client myself.
[3:22] Jen was having bad cramps and was working with a skilled midwife Anne Hirsch, who suggested the Arvigo massage to help alleviate some of her symptoms. She felt great relief and wanted to learn more so she could help women in all phases of life, from preconception to menopause; her passion is empowering women through transformative bodywork.
[6:41] They do a lot of work structurally and work with nerves to make sure all the ligaments are open and free so the body can do its job of maintaining balance and homeostasis within.
[12:21] Men can benefit as well, and it helps with prostate health to release congestion and blockages.
[16:03] One of the reasons we know about this work is based off the work of Don Elijio Panti and Rosita Arvigo. Jen explains how each of them carved a path for healing and didn’t give up despite many challenges and setbacks.
[21:35] The massage can be a great complement to other elements, including herbs and IVF. It can help women reconnect with themselves and partners.
[23:25] All about vaginal steams! Vaginal steam is used commonly in places like Korea and Central America. Please DO NOT use essential oils as they can burn the delicate skin of the vagina. The idea is to extract the oils safely out of the dried or fresh herbs during the steam.
[26:35] Jen explains why she uses a unit now with her clients, and during what time of the cycle it’s best to steam.
[28:56] There are many amazing herbs that can be put together for the steam, and it is important to go over each option with a trusted professional.
[29:40] Do NOT do the vaginal steam if there is a chance you are pregnant, during menstruation or an excessively heavy period.
[32:08] Focusing on the woman’s health is the safety net and most important investment.
[36:59] Post birth, it is a great practice for toning the pelvic floor and Jen recommends waiting at least 6-8 weeks.
[44:07] The uterus may retreat and hide due to stress, trauma, and age. In Chinese medicine, they call the uterus one of the “curious organs.” They can empty and fill at will and can be an outside indicator of what’s going on inside the body.
[47:48] One of the most important things we can do is love, trust, and support our own bodies.

Multi-platform network XTreme Video, which specializes in extreme sports content, is looking to beef up its own North American operations by hiring former AB Group marketing director Gregg Bywalski and former music strategist Dan Aufhauser.
Bywalski (pictured), the new GM of XTremEnterprise (the holding group for XTreme Video) joins the company after more than 14 years with AB, where he managed the TV group’s digital channels. At XTreme, he will lead the development of the company’s U.S. presence, in addition to managing all media activities, including marketing and communications.
Bywalski will continue to work out of his home country of France, where XTreme Video has one of its seven global offices.
Director of media and business development Dan Aufhauser, meanwhile, will be headquartered in San Diego, where he is tasked with establishing brand content partnerships, developing XTreme’s digital advertising business and implementing sponsorship campaigns.
The company’s expansion into the U.S. comes after more than 20 years of doing business in Europe and the Middle East, with offices in Paris, Biarritz, London, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Dubai and San Diego. Early clients and creators signed to XTreme Video in the U.S. include base jumper and extreme sportsman Chris McDougall (160,000 YouTube subscribers), freerunning team LaFlair Parkour (300,000 subs) and energy drink maker Monster Energy (one million subscribers).
Adam Lizotte-Zeisler (better known to his 800,000 YouTube followers as Adam LZ), a Florida-based BMX vlogger will also join the network, the company confirmed.
The company has also vowed to deliver more high-quality and high-tech content from its creators, stating that it will invest more money into the production of original 4K UHD content, and 360 and VR programming in order to create more up-close and realistic sports videos.
While there’s riches and niches, the market for online sports video is already quite large in the U.S. Energy drink maker Red Bull, a frequent sponsor of extreme sports, launched its own in-house production studio in 2007 to offer production and distribution services for long and short-form videos. It’s created documentaries both within the extreme sports vertical (such as the recent adventure doc PaddleSUP: Amazon) and within other genres (like the Juliette Lewis-centered rock doc Hard Lovin’ Woman). On YouTube, the company has earned more than five million subscribers to its channel.
There are also competitors in the short-form extreme sports space in the U.S. — GoPro, which recently struck a partnership with RedBull, has also created its own online network for fans to post extreme sports and travel content captured with its cameras. On YouTube, the five-channel network boasts more than four million subscribers. On the more trick-shot side of the sports vertical, MCN Whistle Sports has captured the interest of the internet with creators like DudePerfect (8.9 million subscribers) and frisbee trickster Brodie Smith (1.4 million subscribers).

Australian metal group Thy Art Is Murder have been preparing for the release of their fifth upcoming studio album Human Target on July 26th, 2019 via Nuclear Blast. It’s no surprise that guitarist Andy Marsh is a shredder like no other, and that’s why we’re pleased to bring you his guitar playthrough for the title track of the album, only right here, on Gear Gods!
In true Thy Art Is Murder fashion, Marsh positively rips through this track with ease. The riffs are fierce, the song is relentless, and the D J U N N S are plentiful. It’s an incredibly satisfying listen and watch, as Marsh isn’t even phased by the absolutely pummeling nature of the track. If this is how the rest of the new album sounds, we simply cannot wait.

Making sure I’m getting lots of greens in my diet is extremely important. Leafy greens contain all type of important nutrients and antioxidants that keep our bodies in tip top shape.
Cilantro itself is pretty impressive. And personally I think it’s delicious. However, for some people it leaves a soapy aftertaste. If you’re reading this post I’m assuming you’re one the lucky ones and cilantro doesn’t have that strange effect on your taste buds.
This leafy herb is used around the globe and is extremely versatile. It can used in soups, curries, tacos, and sauces.
‘Green Guru’ Cilantro Miso Sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
- 1 1/2- 2 cups of loosely packed spinach
- 2 tsp basil, dried
- 1 tsp parsley, dried
- 3 tsp red miso paste
- 3 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Add all ingredients to blender and blend well. Taste to make desired adjustments. Add a few more tablespoons of water to achieve a more dressing type of texture.
- Enjoy on potatoes, pasta, veggies, rice, salad, where ever!

There are classifications of tool holders and tool presetters so that it is clear which type of insert should be paired with the work piece and its tool holder or tool presetter. The tool presetters and holders that have been designed for additional operations, such as cutting on an angle, spring loading, offering variable overhand and rigidity, and more, should only be purchased from a reliable manufacturer. Reliable manufacturers know that the ER collet, which is a standard across the machining industry and the most widely used method of clamping for this industry, will only be purchased when that collet has a good reputation among machinists. If you are the manager of a machining operation, you may want to learn more about where to go if you are shopping for tool presetters by conducting a bit of web research.
Since the year 1483, when screw cutting lathes provided mechanical control over cutting tool paths, the use of tool presetters has been on the rise. Tool posts, which are used with metal working lathes to either hold a bit or the tool holding component in that bit, are evidence of the increased functionality of the machining industry. The Industrial Revolution saw a lot of new tools hit the market. The market for industrial tools has only risen in the last century. More effective operations have been expected across many industrial services. Failure to effectively produce raw materials or finished products can cost your company a lot of business. Losing future business due to unreliable tool presetters and other machining items is easy to avoid.
Shopping for the highest quality of tool presetters should be a priority. In addition to ensuring the quality of your machine and materials, a high quality machining tool component is more likely to be safe for use. Operating a machine with unsafe components could lead to serious injury of the worker on that machine. Injured machinists often qualify for workers compensation claims, which both cost your business money since you are still paying someone that is not actually working, and often costs your business a bump in your insurance rates. This is just one of the reasons that effective machining operation management stresses the importance of safe machining components. Learn more about effective machine training and the use of industrial tools by getting in touch with the manufacturer whose reputation for safety is known throughout your industry.

I thought it would be fun to peek into the personal spaces of some of the Apocalypsies, to see where their debut books came to life.
A.C. Gaughen, the author of Scarlet (Walker Books for Young Readers) uses this super Macbook to change the course of mighty sentences and bend words with her bare hands. I heartily approve.
Laurisa White Reyes, author of The Rock of Ivanore (May 21, Tanglewood Press), says, "(M)y particular work space is a bit unconventional. I live in a 1600 square-foot house with ten other people: my husband, my five kids, and all four grandparents. Space is very limited (as is 'quiet' time.) My 'office' (if you can call it that) is a cheap Walmart desk in the corner of my bedroom wedged between my bed and the wall. I sit on my chair (which NO ONE else is allowed to sit on because it is the one square-foot of space I can call my own) and put my feet on my bed. Then I put my laptop on a wooden lap desk and write. I've written seven manuscripts this way in the past four years. My first four manuscripts (including The Rock of Ivanore, coming out in May) were written on my sofa in the living room with a laptop on my knees.
I like seeing other authors' desks because they always look so neat and tidy. My desk is never neat and tidy. It is a mess, piled high with papers and all sorts of stuff thumb tacked to the wall above it. I think I cleaned it a bit for the pic, but my normal writing environment is messy and I like it that way.
Oh, about computers--in the six years I've been writing novels I've been through five computers. I burned out two Toshibas, wore down two netbooks (an Acer and a Compaq) and finally just bought a Dell, which I am told should hold up a little better than the others. I sure hope so."
Rachel Grinti, co-author of Claws (September 1, 2012 U.S., May 24, 2012 UK, Scholastic) shares a picture of her working on her 11" Macbook Air: "It's nicknamed the Goblin King because I stuck a Jareth decal on the back (and because my writing folders and files are such a jumble they might as well be in a labyrinth.) I love writing on my tiny laptop! It fits in my purse, it's super light, and it's so comfortable to use on my lap. (I often curl up on the couch to write, but I also like to leave the house to work if I'm getting too distracted at home.) Goblin King is not the same computer I wrote my debut on--that would be the bigger, heavier laptop on the desk beside me in the photo. It's not very portable for me due to the weight, so I treated myself to a new writing machine after Mike and I sold CLAWS. And I'm finally learning to use Scrivener! Last but not least, my canine writing helper (or rather, one of the distractions of writing at home) is pictured as well: my Boston Terrier, Miles."
Like many of us, Tiffany Schmidt, author of Send Me a Sign (October 2, 2012, Walker-Bloomsbury) has multiple work spaces:
"The treadmill desk--I do use this! And sometimes for writing not running. I love to walk and plot--but only during drafting. Once I hit revision, I have to be stationary."
Lisa Jenn Bigelow, author of Starting from Here (August 2012, Marshall Cavendish), tell us where her book started from: "I have an 'office,' but it's really just some space carved out from my kitchen, where my bookshelves, desk, and filing cabinets reside. I prefer to write with a dog beside me. My dog Carly was my constant companion while I wrote STARTING FROM HERE, and she was a great inspiration when it came to Mo, my novel's canine character. After she passed away, my dog Saffy (pictured here) saw me through the final rounds of editing. I'm a lifelong Mac user and draft my books in Scrivener before importing them to Microsoft Word. My MacBook Pro (pictured here), is named Grumblecakes, after a product in a Homestar Runner cartoon: 'Only liars and thieves eat Grumblecakes! And those people go to prison.' (Yes, it's random. So what?) STARTING FROM HERE was drafted on an older generation Mac laptop."
Jessica Spotswood, author of Born Wicked (Putnam), shows us where she writes: "I have a very nice little desk in my office, overlooking the thundercloud plum tree in our backyard. But I never work there. I sit on this flowered loveseat instead, hunched over my Macbook Air with incredibly poor posture. I write in Word--Scrivener has been helpful to organize my story bible for the Cahill Witch Chronicles, and to outline in, but I like having the entire story in one document. Before I begin writing for the day, I often go back and reread and edit the previous day's work. As a somewhat fanatical list-maker, I adore the Stickies feature--mine currently contain: Books to Read, 2012 Travel, Garden/Home Decor Research, BW Sales, Star Cursed Notes, and a running To Do list. My other favorite apps are: Google Chrome, Tweetdeck, Adobe Digital Editions, Write or Die, and Freedom. I also have the BW cover, my author photo, the latest draft of Star Cursed, and the Star Cursed outline on the desktop for easy access. Next to my loveseat, not pictured, is a fantastic little ottoman with a tray (this one, but in a lime green) with all the necessary things: a pot of tea, a mug the size of my head, packets of sweetener, a candle, a lighter, and reward stickers (I sticker my calendar for every 1000 words I write, or every event I do)."
Lynne Kelly, author of Chained (May 8, 2012, Farrar, Straus, & Giroux/Margaret
Ferguson Books) likes to unchain herself from the internet, and sometimes her computer, to get work done:
|"My MacBook, with the MacFreedom window up--when it's writing time, I have to lock myself out of the Internet so I'll stay away from temptations like Pinterest and Twitter and all those friends who live in my computer."|
|"I love writing in blank notebooks, especially Moleskines. I use the laptop when I'm revising or writing scenes I've already worked on, but when I'm drafting or trying to figure something out, I do better with pen and paper."|
|"Some of the elephants on the writing desk who keep me company while I'm working. Oh, and look, a copy of CHAINED has joined them!"|
|"The Sleep Machine app on the iPhone, set to 'Intense Focus.' I play that along with thunderstorm sounds while I'm working."|
As for me, many years ago I wrote my debut novel, Fair Coin (Pyr), on a heavy old Dell laptop named Schmendrick, since retired. But I last revised the book on the large Acer laptop pictured here, which I've named Ace Rimmer, a character on the science fiction comedy Red Dwarf. (AceR, get it?)
When I work at my desk, I like to plug in an old IBM Model-M keyboard, because it's easier for me to type on and I really like the loud sound of the keys--the noise makes me feel more like I'm doing something as I type! I don't actually do much writing there these days, but I often use it for other projects: the large screen is essential for graphics editing and I need the powerful hardware for video editing, and this is the computer I prefer for killing zombies with friends or participating in online chats and meetings with my writing group in NYC via Skype. I'll also sit at the desk when I'm line-editing a manuscript, which I still prefer to do on paper.
I don't write at my desk much because I get far too distracted at home, and I don't have an ideal work area; my "office" is on the other side of the bedroom, which is divided by a large bookcase, and the other half of the desk is where my wife studies for school. I generally write on the smaller Acer Aspire One netbook on the left, named Penny (for the girl with the computer book on Inspector Gadget), in a coffee shop before work, at lunch, and on weekends. The netbook is small and light enough that I can carry it around everywhere, every day, and I often write my blog posts on it while sitting on the couch... Like I'm doing now! As much as I would like to have one perfect place to write, I've gotten used to writing whenever and wherever I can, including on long bus rides and while waiting in train stations. I've been experimenting with using Scrivener and Dropbox to sync files between my netbook and my laptop, so I can work from either as the mood strikes.
So that's where eight Apocalypsies like to write. Hopefully we'll feature more work spaces from the group in the future. How about you? Do you have an ideal work space? Where do you get the most work done?

How can I add next/previous links into my portfolio item posts?
I am using Coalition one page portfolio.
thanks for your help
No, unfortunately this is not easily possible because it would require some ajax logic, etc. in the background.
I can make changes to the php. I saw another posting for this, and tried modifying the php, but it didnt quite work because this is for portfolio entires and not blog entries.
Any help is appreciated!
Unfortunately php is the least of the problem, since the theme is packed with complex interdependent jquery/ajax, which would need to be modified. Take a look starting with avia.js in the /js/ directory but please make a backup first.
Tbh this mod requires advanced coding skills not only on the php level but also on the js/jquery/ajax level. avia.js contains a sample function – just search for following line:
$.fn.avia_ajax_content = function(options, callback)
however it won’t help you much without a function which handles the ajax request, div replacement, etc.
The topic ‘Next/Previous Links’ is closed to new replies.

Toothache can get so bothersome that even when you’re not eating, you’d feel the throbbing pain of the nerves on your tooth, distracting you from the things you need to do. If you’re looking for a remedy, here are three quick and easy ways to relieve yourself from tootache.
The primary chemical compound of cloves is eugenol which is a natural anesthetic. This gives cloves a numbing effect on the nerves making it a great remedy for toothache. Aside from anesthetic, cloves also have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties that help fight infection while relieving tooth pain. Here’s a couple of ways to do it:
- Put two drops of clove oil on a cotton ball and rub it directly on the sore tooth until the pain recedes. You can also mix a few drops of it in a half glass of water instead and use it as a mouth rinse. Take note that using clove oil directly on the affected area may cause more pain if it gets on the sensitive gum tissue or on the tongue.
- Another method is to make a mixture of two whole cloves and vegetable or olive oil and then apply it on the aching tooth.
- Alternatively, you can bite on a whole clove instead, just to release its oil, and keep it in place for 30 minutes or until the pain recedes.
Salt has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties that help clean the tooth and draw out some of the fluid that causes swelling thereby making it a great remedy for sensitive, aching tooth. There are two ways you can use salt to relieve your toothache:
- Mix a teaspoon of salt with a cup of very warm water to make a great pain-relieving mouthwash. Swish it around for at least 30 seconds before spitting it out. Repeat as often as needed.
- Alternatively, you can make a paste out of equal amounts of salt and pepper with a few drops of water. Apply directly on the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes. Repeat daily for several days.
- Ice Cubes
Using ice cubes is a great quick fix for relieving toothache. The coldness not only alleviates tooth pain by numbing the nerve endings but it can reduce swelling as well. Here’s how to do it:
- Wrap an ice cube in thin cloth and apply it on the aching tooth for 15 minutes or hold it on your cheek, over the aching tooth. Know that if you choose to apply it on the aching tooth and there are exposed nerves in the area, the contact with the cold could cause more pain.
- Alternatively, an acupressure technique suggests that rubbing an ice cube in the fleshy area where your thumb meets your index finger would ease tooth pain.
Toothache always indicates a problem in your tooth or gums so even with pain-relieving remedies, it is still very advisable to pay your dentist a visit.

My wild guesses...
I think more EF-S lenses with STM (18-200mm, 15/17-200mm, 17-55mm, ...) is a safe bet. Maybe an 18-270mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM to compete with the Tamron.
The EF 35mm f/1.4 II - it's old, and the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 is gives it a very good fight.
The TS-E lenses are waiting for an upgrade, so TS-E 45mm mkII + either TS-E 90mm mkII or 135mm (near macro?)
A new ultra wide lens, e.g. 14-24mm or 16-35mm mkIII. Note that the 16-35mm mkII was released ~6 years after the mkI, so there's a precedent for such a quick upgrade.
A 50mm upgrades, maybe 50mm f/2 IS USM + 50mm f/1.4 with proper USM.
Maybe a 20mm with better IQ to give APS-C cameras a good 35mm equivalent?

As previously detailed on the Exoprise blog, the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is crucial…
For the past 15 years, there’s been a shift in how people work, where they work from and how they connect to “work”. Employees are no longer tethered to headquarters, their offices or tied to slower complicated VPN services.
Additionally, the way people work and where they work from has changed. Along with flexible work hours, employees want workplace flexibility. And with such a competitive job market, employers have to deliver! Flexible work environments offer tremendous benefits such as improved productivity and morale, reduced stress levels and better work-life balance which builds trust and commitment.
The Harvard Business Review, in 2018, surveyed employees and found that 96% of employees said they needed more flexibility in their work environment but less than half had it. Branch office network monitoring has become the epitome to ensure optimal productivity levels from end-users.
How Remote Users Literally Connect
Branch or remote offices are undergoing sweeping changes or network transformations so employers can provide a best-in-class user experience for remote users. The desire to work remotely, at any time and from anywhere, is one factor that has increased the demands on business networks.
Flexible and Fast
Along with the flexibility demands for business networks end-users want great performance. Nowadays, consumers are used to fast network speeds and instant on-demand services like Netflix streaming.
Factors affecting branch office networking include:
- Response and application performance times for corporate and SaaS applications
- Video, Voice, and Collaboration capacity and the different suites or applications that end-users are using
- Network security changes
- Branch router upgrades and management cost and overhead
- Digital Experience Monitoring demands from headquarters to the branch office
Increased demands and the consumerization of Information Technology need for more agile and speedier network technologies in the branch office. Just when IT thought it was going to get easier with the shift to the cloud, they throw this whole “customer experience” into the mix.
SD-WAN To The Rescue
SD-WAN technology has become the new de-factor standard for helping businesses upgrade their networks to deal with these challenges. The good old days of deploying MPLS or dedicated lines are gone if you care about delivering a superior user experience and being agile.
The benefits of SD-WAN over legacy WANs include:
- More Cost Effective: Traditional WANs that connected back up to headquarters via MPLS and dedicated lines were expensive. SD-WAN is much less expensive because routing can be optimized over various different network topologies in real time.
- Transport Independence: SD-WAN is entirely virtualized and doesn’t require a single transport such as MPLS. This greatly enhances flexibility and therefore cost.
- Improved Performance: Network virtualization delivers improved user experience especially for remote offices accessing Office 365. Remote users no longer have to back-haul traffic to get to Exchange, SharePoint, Teams or Skype and response times are better.
- Improved Security: SD-BRANCH solutions are able to integrate different local (or cloud) filtering solutions which can lower latency and improve application delivery times. No more routing traffic to HQ just for proxy filtering.
With Great Flexibility, Comes Great Responsibility
With the flexibility that SD-WAN and SD-BRANCH devices provide, comes a greater demand for measuring and ensuring acceptable end-user satisfaction and performance. If traffic and routing can be altered dynamically based on cost and capacity someone better be making sure that performance is acceptable too.
And that’s where Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) solutions come in. DEM solutions proactively measure network and application performance using synthetic transactions and sensors or probes. And the best DEM solutions also include support for Real Use Monitoring (RUM).
The ultimate goal of a DEM solution is to ensure great employee experiences including acceptable latency, page loading, Mean Opinion Scores (MOS), connectivity and uptime. Both synthetic and real user monitoring provide benefits.
Cloud-based, Accessible Everywhere
Choosing a Digital Experience Monitoring solution is critical to the success of your network transformations and ongoing SaaS/Cloud utilization. General requirements are detailed below but one worth calling out in the beginning is choosing a DEM solution that is cloud native or “born-in-the-cloud”.
A cloud-based DEM solution is accessible and available from every branch office and remote user location. Using a cloud-based DEM solution ensures high availability for immediate troubleshooting and alerting. Back-hauling performance data for troubleshooting over legacy WAN-links can potentially exacerbate slow network conditions.
The following are additional requirements for a branch office end user experience monitoring solution:
- Synthetic and Real User Monitoring (RUM) in a single platform
Its critical to support both passive and active monitoring in a single platform to solve all of your use cases. Proactive branch office monitoring requires active, synthetic transactions. Remote users that are telecommuting or on the road are often best served by passive real user monitoring.
- Behind the firewall, inside-out application monitoring
Remote office DEM solutions should make it easy to monitor web applications that exist behind the firewall, either on the WAN or LAN. Measuring the performance of SD-WAN links, traffic and segment routing is critical.
- SaaS and Office 365 Support
A proper digital experience monitoring solution should support ALL of Office 365 and other SaaS services. A key benefit for SaaS is to deliver fast access no matter where the user is. As such, a DEM solution should be effectively monitor and troubleshoot Office 365 and other SaaS properties in one platform.
- Cloud-to-cloud and public cloud monitoring
Cloud-to-cloud monitoring combined with on-premises monitoring is critical for comparing and benchmarking network performance. Monitoring externally facing applications from one DEM platform is a bonus.
- Easily installed
A branch office network monitoring solution should be easy to setup, configure and transform as your network and branch offices may be constantly changing. It should have API support and be flexibly configured.
- Intelligent alerting and root-cause correlation
Intelligent alerting and anomaly detection is critical to a good DEM solution for remote offices. Being able to serve proactive notifications and long-term trending in the same platform is critical.
- End-user simulation on Windows platforms
Capturing and emulating end-user application experiences requires running on Windows where most corporate end-users spend their day.
- Voice, VoIP, and Video Support
Digital experience monitoring solutions for the branch office require Voice, VoIP and Video monitoring. Platforms like Microsoft Teams, Skype, Slack and Zoom are becoming prevalent for collaboration with branch and remote users.As businesses grow their telecommuting, make acquisitions and have more branch office needs, the dependency on remote collaboration through voice and video grows. Being able to capture telemetry for Voice and Video and detect issues is critical to a proper DEM solution.
- Integration with DevOps and ITSM solutions
Integrating with IT Service Management solutions like DataDog, Microsoft SCOM, Splunk Enterprise, Service Now or Remedy is an important part of reducing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR). Simulating digital experiences across an enterprise will generate real time telemetry that can feed into these operational systems for savings in root-cause analysis.
- Low-level telemetry into dependent services like DNS, Proxies, Firewalls, Gateways
A DEM solution that captures lower-level networking detail can assist with troubleshooting and speeding time to resolution. Often, branch offices and remote users don’t have dedicated IT staff to diagnose so the more telemetry the better.
- Pinpoint performance problems as either local to the branch or global
Determining whether an issue is global or local to the branch office is critical to branch office network monitoring solutions. Crowd-sourced Internet insights assists with triaging outages and slowdowns.
High Return On Investment (ROI) for Branch Office Network Monitoring
While a large set of requirements were covered, the proper solution can pay for itself quickly with a rewarding Return on Investment (ROI). Detecting branch office outages and fixing slow network performance increases employee productivity and retention. And this improves the bottom-line and top-line for a business.
Now is the time to invest in a cloud-based Digital Experience Monitoring solution.

Fog-net project discontinued
The aim of this project, which was carried out in collaboration with the Water Foundation Ebenhausen and terminated in the summer of 2008, was to supply the villages of the Eritrean highlands with water collected from fog. The technology used to achieve this objective worked perfectly well. However, in spite of the project’s success and the continued need for clean water in the area, conditions in the country currently prevent any further expansion of the project.
In early 2005, our local partner organisation Vision Eritrea set up several 1m2 trial water collectors in the villages of Nefasit and Arberobue near the capital city of Asmara. This work was carried out under the watchful supervision of FogQuest, the Canadian company that developed fog-net technology. The trial collectors were set up to provide data on water yields, which would then serve as the basis for deciding where to locate the operational 40m2 fog-nets. After some lengthy delays, ten collectors with cisterns were set up in the period between April and August 2007.
Progress despite the obstacles
Since the 2007/2008 fog season, the two locations have provided clean water for 2,500 schoolchildren and 120 families. In the first eight months, some 800,000 litres of water was collected in the cisterns, even more than originally anticipated. Any overflow water is used to irrigate small vegetable gardens
The pilot project demonstrated that fog-net technology works very well in the Eritrean highlands. However, it was a hard-fought success that required a great deal of patience from all involved. There were repeated problems with supplies, installation, maintenance and local officialdom. Although the project enjoys the full support of various government organisations, representatives of FogQuest, the Water Foundation and the Munich Re Foundation sometimes had to wait months for their visas to be issued. Without these travel papers, which can only be obtained locally, project staff were not allowed to leave the capital to travel to the villages. This was the main reason for the sheer endless delays.
Eritrea has suffered from severe inflation since 2005 and the supply situation became particularly acute in 2007. Materials that had to be imported sometimes remained in customs for months on end. Vehicles and fuel needed to transport the materials were very hard to come by. Consequently, the costs per collector ended up almost twice as high as for similar projects in South America – only 20 of the 40 collectors originally planned could be built.
Steep slopes and strong winds also made installation of the nets more difficult than expected. Some nets were damaged after a very short time in operation. The good news is that Vision Eritrea has learned a lot from these problems, especially that the nets are fairly easy to repair. Should the project be resumed, the lessons learned will certainly make it easier to set up more fog-nets in a much shorter time.
Various German laboratories were asked to conduct a chemical analysis of the water to establish its quality. The tests revealed that the water contains sufficient minerals but that more needs to be done to ensure that pipes and tanks are kept clean. These lab findings reiterate the view of the project partners that maintenance of the installations is still a long way from being fully reliable. This is not surprising considering the fact that important contacts in the villages seem to have disappeared without trace.
However, ours is not the only project to have experienced problems in Eritrea. The GTZ, the operational arm of the German Ministry for Development and Cooperation, closed its Eritrea office in late 2007, citing the difficult situation in the country as the reason. The closure also marked the end of GTZ’s important water projects in Eritrea.
Where do we go from here?
Experts in Eritrea and the Eritrean government estimate that there are some 800,000 people in the country that could benefit from fog-harvesting technology. In the next few months, the Water Foundation will continue to monitor the installed systems through its partner Vision Eritrea and will work on improving maintenance and eliminating problems. The Technical University of Munich is also currently evaluating the project works in progress. However, the political and economic situation in the country simply makes it impossible for us to build further fog-nets at a reasonable level of cost and resources.
Despite the obstacles set before us, the fog-net project met with a very enthusiastic response from many people. Should the situation in the country change for the better, the Munich Re Foundation would not hesitate to resume its commitment to this project. The people in the highlands of Eritrea need water.

U.S. - Mexico Relations
A new report has come out of Der Spiegel - one of the newspapers combing through the top-secret National Security Agency documents leaked by ex-contractor Edward Snowden - revealing a troubling email hack to the Mexican president at the time.
Federal authorities announced on Friday that no charges will be pursued against the U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona for the shooting of the 17-year-old boy.
Investigative reporter John Carlos Fey believes recently approved border security amendment could increase civilian death toll.
Two brothers are beginning an initiative to raise awareness against war veterans being deported after serving.
The death toll following an attempted break-out in a prison in the northern part of Mexico has risen to 22, officials say.
Pew Hispanic Data shows more Mexicans in U.S. returning to Mexico over five-year span
Today, two U.S. government employees were shot south of Mexico City when the armored U.S. Embassy vehicle they were riding in was sprayed with bullets. The concentration of bullet holes around the passenger-side window brings forth the possibility that skilled gunmen were responsible

So you’ve taken great pictures of your item and now it’s time to choose the right price. List too high and your item won’t sell. List too low and you’ll be cheating yourself out of all the value of your used stuff.
Ugh, why does everything have to be so difficult? Not to worry. Here are some tips for picking the right price when selling on 5miles.
There is no perfect price
The first rule of finding the right price: There is no perfect price. Only one someone is willing to pay.
Just because you paid $500 for that DVD player when it was new doesn’t mean you are going to make your money back. And just because you think your ripped jeans are “vintage” doesn’t mean you’ll get a lot for them either.
People put too much value on their stuff all of the time. It is best to be realistic. Luckily there are ways you can be a better judge of how much they’re worth.
Take a look at your item’s condition
Take a good look at your item. Is there anything wrong with it? Does it function like it did when you bought it? Are all the pieces there? How scratched up is it? Any dings or rips?
Think about it from the buyer’s perspective. What grade would you give your item? You may want to haul in an A+ or 10 out of 10 rating worth of dough, but if your phone is barely passing with a C- be ready to accept lower offers.
Look at the market and other prices
Now that you have a pretty good idea of your item’s condition you can search 5miles and other sites to see similar items. Search for items with the same features and specs, and find items in a condition close to yours.
And don’t forget supply and demand. When there are a lot of items like yours the price is going to be lower. So try to sell your old phone before that new iPhone or Samsung model comes out, not after.
Take note of the price range for items like yours. Buyers love to haggle, so choose a price that’s a little on the higher end of the scale. This gives room for negotiation.
And if your item doesn’t sell right away you can always lower the price and use the Refresh function in 5miles to let buyers know you’ve lowered your price. But pretty soon your 5miles inbox will be blowing up with offers from buyers.

Until 1780 with the extension of the Mason-Dixon Line this area was part of the disputed region claimed by both Pennsylvania and Virginia. At the time Pennsylvania considered it to be part of Westmoreland County, while Virginia included it in Yohogania County.
In 1788, Allegheny County was officially created from parts of Washington and Westmoreland Counties.

By Jacob Bourne
The San Francisco Labor Council, with help from the San Mateo Labor Council and union affiliates, recently organized a food pantry at Yerba Buena Gardens for 2,300 striking hotel workers. Marriott workers with Unite Here Local 2 have been striking for 44 days, demanding affordable healthcare, livable wages, breaks and safer conditions. Volunteers helped with the picket line outside of the Marriott Marquis, while others like Gordon Mar, District 4 Supervisor-elect, handed out food.
“Symbolically, this is important because it shows that the entire movement is supportive; and practically, it’s important because these workers can see and feel the solidarity through food and other goods that we can provide,” said Rudy Gonzalez, SFLC executive director, who drove the pantry’s delivery truck. “What’s good about a fight is that it unites the workers, but what’s also great about these high-profile fights is that it unites the movement as a whole.”
Jessica Etheridge, who’s waitressed at the Marriott for 15 years, said she decided to strike for the first time because she “was just shocked that in the face all the Marriott’s incredible profits that they’d basically want to demote us.” She explained that the hotel had been trying to cut hours for servers by converting six hour shifts to three hours and that she worries about losing healthcare benefits as a result.
Workers like housekeeper Tomas Umanzor said that despite the unhealthy air quality, colder weather and financial hardships, Local 2 members feel even more united and will keep pressing forward until the end. Marriott worker, Edwin Escobar, is hopeful about a positive resolution saying, “We have strong representation in the negotiations.”
“The food pantry helps these workers understand that they’re not alone,” said John Ulrich, retired UFCW member. “It’s important to get retirees involved because it’s just a matter of time before it affects our benefits and pensions. If they can do this to one union, they can do it to all unions.”

Coronavirus Tax Stimulus Package
On March 27, 2020, the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act or the “CARES Act”. The CARES Act provides over $2 trillion in relief to Americans and businesses impacted by
COVID-19, as well as providing support to the healthcare system and hospitals.
This bill includes providing direct financial assistance to individuals
in the form of direct payments to adults below a certain income
threshold. $1,200 will be sent to single adults making under $75,000
annually, $2,400 would be sent to married couples making under $150,000
annually, and parent’s would receive $500 for each qualifying child
under the age of 17.
Payments would be phased out for individuals with an adjusted gross
income between $75,000 and $99,000, and those above $99,000 would
receive no benefit. Payments would be phased out for married coupled
with adjusted gross incomes between $150,000 and $198,000, and those
above $198,000 would receive no benefit. The phase out rate causes a $50
reduction for every $1,000 over the threshold. Adjusted gross income
would be based on the 2019 federal income tax return if it has already
been filed or the 2018 federal income tax return.
Another provision in the bill would expand and reform the unemployment
insurance program. As part of the expansion, the program would increase
the maximum unemployment benefit by $600 per week. This money would be
in addition to what states pay as a base unemployment benefit. This
benefit would be available for up to 4 months. An additional 13 weeks of
employment insurance would be provided in the event that employees
remain unemployed and their state unemployment benefits have been fully
exhausted. Additionally, self-employed individuals, freelancers and
independent contractors who normally cannot apply for unemployment would
be allowed to apply and receive the same amount of assistance that would
be provided under their state’s unemployment benefits program through
the end of this year.
An important provision for small businesses includes the allocation of
$350 billion for the creation of a new type of loan that would be
administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). These
loans would be forgivable upon meeting certain requirements. Generally,
these loans are available for businesses and nonprofits with less than
500 employees. These loans can also be made available for self-employed
individuals, sole proprietors, and independent contractors in certain
situations. The amount of the loan is the lesser of 2.5 times the
average monthly payroll costs incurred for the one year period before
the date of the loan or $10 million. Proceeds of these loans may be used
for expenses such as payroll, group health care benefits, insurance
premiums, rent, and utilities. The amount of the loan that may be
forgiven is the total amount used for qualifying expenses during the 8
week period beginning on the loan origination date. The forgiven amount
is excludable from income, and any amounts not forgiven are paid at an
interest rate of no more than 4% for a period not to exceed 10 years.
There are different types of SBA loan assistance available.
Business Disaster Loans of up to $2 million cover repair and replacement of
damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and
other business assets. Similar to coverage issues with business
interruption insurance, these loans will be difficult to qualify for
given the non-physical impact of COVID-19.
Economic Disaster Loans
More relevant to many small businesses are Economic Injury Disaster
Loans (“EIDLs”), which will be more thoroughly discussed below.
EIDL’s are available to small businesses to help provide working
capital and to pay business expenses. Those eligible can apply for up to
$2 million at low interest rates. The interest rate for small businesses
is 3.75% and for nonprofit organizations 2.75%. Repayment terms are
provided up to 30 years and first year payments are deferred for one
Funds from the loans can be used for fixed debts, payroll, accounts
payable and any other bills that could have been paid had the COVID-19
pandemic not occurred.
In addition to qualifying as a small business, loan approval will depend
on credit history, ability to repay and the business being located in an
affected area with losses suffered as a result of COVID-19. Collateral
will be required for most loans and real estate is preferred. The SBA
has indicated that loans will not be denied solely for lack of
collateral, but loan amounts are capped at $25,000 for unsecured loans.
Documents required with the application include most recent Business
Federal Income Tax Return, Schedule of Liabilities (SBA Form 2202) and
Personal Financial Statement (SBA Form 413). Please keep in mind that
additional information may also be requested by the SBA. Such
information may include the most recent individual Federal income tax
return for applicant, principals and affiliates, year-end profit and
loss statement, current profit and loss statement and monthly sales
$10 billion is being allocated to create a new grant program to provide
relief for applications being processed by the SBA Economic Injury
Disaster Loans programs. These grants provide loans of up to $10,000 to cover immediate cash flow needs to pay for
payroll, rent and other qualifying expenses. There are also newly
established credits and deferrals aimed to lessen the burden on
employers that keep their employees on payroll and continue operations.
This bill also includes a provision allowing the Treasury Department to
provide $500 billion in loans, loan guarantees and investments to big
businesses impacted by COVID-19. In order to oversee these funds, a new
Treasury Department Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery will
be created as well as the creation of a Pandemic Response Accountability
Committee to examine how the money is being used. The loans to these
companies would not be forgivable and would be subject to public
disclosure and other requirements.
Approximately $150 billion is being allocated to hospitals and the
health care system. The bill allocates $100 billion to aid in
hospitals’ response to COVID-19. Additional funding will also go to
the Strategic National Stockpile to raise supplies of ventilators,
masks, and other equipment, as well as funding for the diagnosis,
treatments and vaccines for COVID-19.
Other notable provisions in this Act provide: allowing borrowers of a
federally backed mortgage to submit a forbearance request for up to 180
days; foreclosure action is prohibited for a 60 day period beginning
March 18, 2020; temporary waiver of required minimum distributions from
retirement plans for 2020; distributions from retirement plans of up to
$100,000 can be taken from qualified plans for COVID-19 related expenses
without incurring a 10% early distribution penalty but those
distributions would be subject to federal income tax that can be paid
over a 3 year period. Any repayments within that 3 year period will
result in the distribution not being taxable (or if tax has already been
paid then a refund for amounts paid would be issued).
There may be more legislation passed to continue addressing the impact
being felt nationwide as a result of COVID-19. We will continue to
monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
COVID -19 ILLINOIS LOANS

"Montmartre at night-No" Montmartre - Sacré Coeur Tip by Marina_tom
Montmartre - Sacré Coeur, Paris: 57 reviews and 39 photos
I was checking on VT about things to do in Paris and found out about this place, but the VT member wrote that during the day it is a nice area, during the night it is full of "strange" ppl, prostitutes, drunk kids etc. and I agree with her tip 100 %. I was disappointed with area around Moulin Rouge. It is worth to see during the day, and there are some nice bars in Montmartre, plus the houses and streets are nice.
Unique Suggestions: Explore the area, you will find some decent, normal bars with French music, artists on the street painting/ in front of the church Sacre Coeur, there is a beautiful view on Paris! Nice!
Fun Alternatives: During the day you will get the different picture of the place-much much nicer!

|Gulf of Thailand|
|Primary inflows||South China Sea|
|Surface area||320,000 km2 (120,000 sq mi)|
|Average depth||58 m (190 ft)|
|Max. depth||85 m (279 ft)|
The Gulf of Thailand, also known as the Gulf of Siam, is a shallow inlet in the southwestern South China Sea, bounded between the southwestern shores of the Indochinese Peninsula and the northern half of the Malay Peninsula. It is around 800 km (500 mi) in length and up to 560 km (350 mi) in width, and has a surface area of 320,000 km2 (120,000 sq mi). The gulf is surrounded on the north, west and southwest by the coastlines of Thailand (hence the name), on the northeast by Cambodia and the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, and opens to the South China Sea in the southeast.
The modern Thai name of the gulf is Ao Thai (Thai: อ่าวไทย, [ʔàːw tʰāj] (listen), 'Thai Gulf') and "Gulf of Thailand" has been adopted as the official name of the body by the International Hydrographic Organization.[when?] Its name in Malay is he "Gulf of Siam", Teluk Siam, and in Khmer: ឈូងសមុទ្រសៀម, Chhoung Samut Siem. In Thai, the gulf is historically known as Ao Sayam (Thai: อ่าวสยาม). In Vietnamese it is known as Vịnh Thái Lan.
It is generally identified with the Great Gulf (Latin: Magnus Sinus) known to Greek, Roman, Arab, Persian, and Renaissance cartographers before the influx of Portuguese explorers removed the phantom Dragon Tail peninsula from European world maps in the 16th century.
The Gulf of Thailand is bordered by Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. It occupies a seabed area of 304,000 km2 from 6° N to 13°30' N latitude and 99°E to 104° E longitude.: 250 The northern tip of the gulf is the Bay of Bangkok at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River. The southern boundary of the gulf is defined by a line from Cape Bai Bung in southern Vietnam (just south of the mouth of the Mekong River) to the town of Tumpat and Pengkalan Chepa on the Malaysian coast.
The gulf is relatively shallow: its mean depth is 58 metres (190 ft) and the maximum depth is only 85 metres (279 ft).: 250 This makes water exchange slow, and the strong water inflow from the rivers reduce the level of salinity in the gulf (3.05–3.25 percent) and enriches the sediments. Only at greater depths does water with a higher salinity (3.4 percent) flow into the gulf from the South China Sea. It fills the central depression below a depth of 50 metres (160 ft). The main rivers which empty into the gulf are the Chao Phraya, including its distributary Tha Chin River, the Mae Klong, and Bang Pakong rivers at the Bay of Bangkok, and to a lesser degree the Tapi River flowing into Bandon Bay in the southwest of the gulf.
The International Hydrographic Organization defines the southern limit of the gulf as "[a] line running from the Western extreme of Cambodia or Camau Point (8°36'N) to the Northern extreme of the point on the East side of the estuary of the Kelantan River ()".
The seabed morphology in the central depression of the gulf is characterised by the presence of elongated mounds and ridges arranged parallel to the axis of the basin. This morphology, widespread within the gulf in water depths exceeding 50 m, covers an area of tens of thousands of square kilometres.
It reflects an interaction between sediment dewatering and the erosional activity of the present-day bottom currents. The sediment dewatering and fluid seepage result in the formation of numerous small pits and pockmarks. The long-term erosion imposed by currents of stable orientation modifies pockmarks into long runnels and depressions, and ultimately leads to the formation of the large fields of elongated mounds and ridges, as well as the residual outliers of un-eroded mud and clay sheets.
The larger islands in the gulf include:
There are 75,590 rai of coral reef in the gulf, of which five percent are considered to be in fertile condition. In 2010 severe coral bleaching occurred at most reef sites in the country. Bleaching of reefs in the Andaman Sea was more severe and extensive than that in the Gulf of Thailand. In 2016, coral bleaching was detected at Ko Thalu and Ko Lueam in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province for the first time. Scientists have determined that bleaching starts when seawater temperature rises beyond 30 °C for more than three weeks. Given the prolonged period of temperatures up to 32 °C at Ko Thalu in Prachuap Khiri Khan, five to ten percent of corals in the area are already bleached.
Coastal water monitoring results in 2015 from 202 sampling locations, collected twice annually, indicate that no Thai coastal waters were found to be in excellent condition. Sixteen percent of coastal water was of good quality, 72 percent was of fair quality, 9 percent was of poor quality and 3 percent was of very poor quality. The quality of all coastal waters exhibited similar percentages — most were of fair quality — except for the Inner Gulf of Thailand, where the coastal water was poor to very poor. In comparison to coastal water quality as measured in 2014, water quality has deteriorated.: 52 Some gulf waters off Chachoengsao Province, Samut Sakhon Province, Samut Prakan Province, Bangkok, Rayong Province, Chonburi Province, Phetchaburi Province, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, and Surat Thani Province were judged to have coastal waters in "poor" or "very poor" condition.: 54 Songkhla was the only province on the gulf with coastal water rated "good" quality.: 56
Of Thailand's total marine catch, 41 percent is caught in the Gulf of Thailand and 19 percent in the Andaman Sea. Forty percent is caught in waters outside Thailand's EEZ.
Thailand has 1,660 kilometres of coastline bordering the gulf. "Severe erosion", more than five metres of coastline loss per year, afflicts 670 kilometres of that total. At least some of the erosion is attributable to the clearing of mangrove forests to make way for shrimp farms.
In February 2017, a 10 kilometer-long patch of plastic refuse was found floating off Chumphon Province. Thailand is among the world's worst plastic polluters. More than half of "land-based plastic waste leakage" into the sea originates from just five countries: China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The Thai Marine and Coastal Resources Department has noted that at least 300 sea animals on average—60 per cent of which are whales and dolphins—die from eating plastic fishing gear and trash each year. Filter feeding invertebrates tested off the coast of Chonburi Province showed high levels of microplastics, leading the authors to warn that, "Health risks are possible when people consume these contaminated marine organisms, particularly shellfish."
Thailand's Pollution Control Department (PCD) estimates that plastic waste in the country is increasing at an annual rate of 12 percent, or around two million tonnes per year.
In 2013, a pipeline leak resulted in an oil slick that went on to coat a beach on the nearby Ka Samet island.
In late January 2022, a leak in the pipeline operated by the Star Petroleum Refining Public Company Ltd caused a spill of 20 to 50 tonnes across 47 sq km of water, with some oil reaching the coast of Rayong province 20 km away.
The gulf's many coral reefs have made it attractive to divers. The tropical warmth of the water attracts many tourists. Some of the most important tourist destinations in the Gulf of Thailand are the islands of Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan in Surat Thani Province, Pattaya in Chonburi Province, Cha-am in Phetchaburi Province, Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, and Ko Samet in Rayong Province.
In recent years, the bay has become known for its whale watching activities, targeting the endemic, critically endangered populations of cetaceans (Eden's whales, newly described Omura's whales, Chinese white dolphins, and Irrawaddy dolphins showing unique feeding behaviors), and dugongs. It was first classified by Müller in 1776 as Trichechus dugon. Five species of the sea turtles have been found in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman sea coast, including olive ridley turtles, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, loggerhead turtles, and leatherback turtles.
The area between Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam is subject to several territorial disputes. Malaysia and Thailand have chosen to jointly develop the disputed areas, which include the islands of Ko Kra and Ko Losin. A long-standing dispute between Cambodia and Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand concerns mainly the island of Phú Quốc or Koh Tral in Khmer, which is off the Cambodian coast. Cambodia also claims 48,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi) of shelf area.

What is in this article?:
As he begins his 12th crop year — and living his childhood dream — “I wouldn’t take anything for the decision I made to farm full-time,” says Mississippian Ben Harlow, who farms 1,650 acres of cotton, corn, and soybeans in the state's prairie region.
BEN HARLOW grows cotton, corn, and soybeans in the prairie region of east central Mississippi.
“I think I was born wanting to farm,” says Ben Harlow.
“As an only child, living out in the country, there were no neighboring children to play with. Instead of playing cowboys and Indians or playing with toy cars, I had toy tractors.
“We didn’t have carpet in our living room and I ‘farmed’ on the floor. In my play world, I planted crops, cared for them, and harvested them. I got unhappy if someone accidentally stepped on my ‘farm.’”
Flash ahead four decades and Ben is now, he says, “living my dream.” He’s been a full-time farmer in the prairie section of northeast Mississippi for more than a decade, starting with just 200 acres and no equipment, and gradually building to today’s 1,650 acres and a full complement of equipment.
The zinger, however, in his saga of childhood dream to adult reality is that Ben didn’t come from a farming family.
“I’m something of a rarity — a first generation farmer,” he laughs. “My parents didn’t farm, and I don’t know where my innate fascination with farming came from. But as far back as I can remember, there was this compelling desire to be a farmer.
“There were some folks who farmed land around us, in those days with old open-top tractors, and they would let me ride around with them as they did farm work. When I got old enough, I drove tractors for them, and even when I went off to college at Mississippi State University, I still worked part-time on their farms.”
After earning a degree in animal and dairy science, he went to work with MSU Extension doing entomology work, and later applied for and got the position of Extension agent in Calhoun County, Miss.
“I continued doing farm work in my spare time,” he says, “and in 1999 one of the farmers I’d worked with was letting some land go. He helped work out arrangements for me to rent 200 acres. I had no equipment, so he let me rent his, and I made my first crop in 2000.”
He’d also, at the same time, agreed to go to west Tennessee to work with the boll weevil eradication program that was under way there, and as soon as that first crop was planted, he left to go there.
“I commuted home every weekend to look after the crop,” he says. “Unfortunately, that was not a good year to start farming — there was almost no rain, and my crops didn’t do very well. The corn yield was only 78 bushels and soybeans a dismal 9.5 bushels.
“It was a disappointment, but I had a job to help keep me going financially, and with the optimism that seems to be characteristic of every farmer, I looked forward to the next year being better.”
The following year, Ben was able to rent another 66 acres, and purchased his first piece of equipment, a used disk. Things turned out better — soybeans averaged close to 40 bushels, “which is good in these heavy clay prairie soils,” and corn was about 125 bushels.
“I also learned that year that I couldn’t work a full-time job and farm, too,” he says, “so I took the big leap and decided to become a full-time farmer.
“As land came available, I kept adding acres here and there, and with another farm I was able to rent this year, am now up to 1,650 acres, all rented, most on a cash basis, some on a crop-share basis. A lot of the land had been in CRP or in hay; some I got from farmers who were retiring.”

Slightly Stoopid on bill for Ives Danbury concert
Published 7:06 pm, Tuesday, July 20, 2010
Slightly Stoopid's music is anything but dumb.
The hard-grooving California band plays an upbeat fusion of acoustic rock, punk, reggae and hip-hop. The band's hits include "Prophet," "Everything You Need," and "Closer to the Sun."
When the band performed "Closer to the Sun" on TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," someone thought to share it with the world through YouTube. You can see for yourself on the site, or you can catch the band live in Danbury on Saturday.
Slightly Stoopid will perform an outdoor show Saturday at 7 p.m. at Ives Concert Park. Also on the bill will be Cypress Hill and Collie Buddz.
So why would a band call itself Slightly Stoopid, and what makes this group's music so much fun? Drummer Ryan Moran, 33, of San Diego, took some time off during a tour stop in Montana to answer these questions and more:
Q: The band's been around for about 15 years. How did you come on board?
A: I've been with the band for seven years. I lived in the same neighborhood as the guys and had met them a few times and done shows with them with different bands. Around the winter of '01, or it might have been '02, the band that I was playing with back then and Slightly Stoopid did a tour together and we basically were on the road together for about a month. (We were) hanging out every day and partying, have a couple beers at night and stuff, we just kind of became friends we hit it off so well. After that tour was over we stayed friends. They called me about nine or 10 months later and said, "Hey, we're doing a summer tour and we'd like it if you could come along."
Q: Your music crosses a lot of genres. How do you like to describe it?
A: We all listen to tons of different stuff and I know that shines through when we're writing and recording and performing live. I guess we're just sort of a result of the stuff that we listen to. I like describing it as kind of funk, reggae, rock, punk, hip-hop, blues -- we kind of touch a little bit on all those genres. So I think to just lump us, saying we're just a reggae band or just a punk rock band is sort of a one-dimensional description.
Q: There seems to be a real sense of fun in your music -- any thoughts on that?
A: Our music is for that purpose. It's just for having a good time and partying with your friends. We're not necessarily trying to make any profound political statements about society. We just kind of like to bring a good time and when we show up for our gigs it's like, "Hey, check your concerns in at the door. Let's have a couple drinks, let's just enjoy life." That's kind of what we sing about -- life, love and good times, bad times, you know, just things that we've lived.
Q: Where did the name come from?
A: Everyone asks us that a lot. Basically picture a room with four or five friends, 16-, 17-year-old kids sitting around in a room -- maybe having a little bit of a smoke or a little bit of a drink -- kind of just throwing names out there and someone's like, "How 'bout Slightly Hilarious and someone's like, `Dude that's Slightly Stoopid,' " and everyone laughs and then that became the band name.

Lorenzo departure has made 2016 "strange"
Yamaha MotoGP boss Lin Jarvis admits it has been "strange" to spend nearly a whole season working with Jorge Lorenzo knowing the Spaniard was leaving for Ducati.
Three-time champion Lorenzo announced his 2017 switch to Ducati in April, three races into the campaign, having pushed Yamaha to offer him an extended contract before the season started.
Six months later, and entering Lorenzo's final three races with Yamaha, Jarvis said the early nature of the announcement meant the relationship was bound to change.
"From the moment Jorge decided to move, of course it changes the dynamic a little bit," Jarvis said.
"But we committed ourselves to fully supporting him with the hardware, the team, equal support.
"And I am completely comfortable with the way we've done that.
"It's a bit strange. Is it ideal? Definitely not, it's something that you would prefer that these signings come later.
"But it's difficult to do. Everybody wants to secure their future as early as possible, including the riders, so it's part of life."
Lorenzo's quest for a farewell Yamaha title started well, with victories in three of the first six races and two second-place finishes.
However it took a massive dip mid-season, and he is now in a fight with team-mate Valentino Rossi for second in the standings, with Honda's Marc Marquez having sealed the title in Japan last weekend.
Contracted to the Japanese manufacturer until December 31, Yamaha has granted Lorenzo clearance to test for two days with Ducati in the post-Valencia GP running.
Lorenzo had also been hoping to test with Ducati at Jerez a week later and will not be allowed to, but Jarvis says he will leave the team on good terms.
"We have a very good relationship with Jorge," he added.
"Obviously it's normal that if someone decides to leave, it's not the same as if they decide to stay with you. That's a normal transition in a relationship.
"But there's no animosity. I've read all sorts of things and theories about a possible problem behind the scenes, but it's not true.
"He understands we're a professional company and a professional team, we understand he wants to leave and get up to speed as quickly as possible and he understands we have a contract.
"We've had nine good years together, we've won three titles, we have a very strong relationship.
"Who knows? Maybe in two years' time he'd like to come back.
"I think Jorge would like to finish with Yamaha and I think we would like to finish with him in the best way possible, and we'll be putting every effort into doing that."

You decide to try and break down the door. You stretch out your arms, trying to make sense of your surroundings. You stumble across the room; you trip over something, hitting a wall hard- your skull breaking your fall. Your skull drums with pain, you check to see if it’s cracked but find nothing.
You begin to hyperventilate, the water is still filling up the room; it’s up to your waist, swirling around and slowly engulfing your body. You wish you could see. You don’t want to die like this.
You try to walk through the water, making your way around to room standing against the wall. Your arms feeling for any sign of the door.
After ten minutes of searching you finally come across a handle, you turn yourself around so your facing the door. You bang your fists against the hard surface, the echoes of your screams for help carrying down the hall on the other side. You don't give up, you keep hitting with all your strength, you will not go down without a fight.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" You scream at the top of your lungs, hoping someone somewhere in this godforsaken place will come to your rescue. "Help?" You mutter- after hours of screaming, your voice is almost inaudible. Fresh tears roll down your face.
Your arms ache, you're pretty sure atleast four bones are broken in your hands- you could no longer open your palms without crying out in pain.
Why am I here? What have I done to deserve this? Nobody deserves this. No one.
You slump back aginst the wall, thinking about all the things you wish you were doing, the places you wanted to be, the people you wanted to be with. Instead of being here. In this place. Alone.
You have two options, to either wait it out, or somehow try to get back into the vent you came in from.

12 18 hours of my life fighting with an Exchange 2010 upgrade this week. To compensate, I will never complain about Sendmail wonkiness ever.
- Homebrew Cray-1A. Duplicating the internals is interesting in a “that’s crazy/difficult” way, but the case is the best part. (via dfcat on #dragonflybsd)
- If you understand the structure of haiku, you can contribute to Absolute OpenBSD, 2nd Ed.
- Here’s a browser-based roguelike called Second Wind, and another called Epilogue. No particular reason to link to them other than I haven’t had much roguelikes linked recently.
- “The role of the troll in social media is to ruin that product.” There’s a line that can be drawn to connect the idea of being esoteric enough that social networks (i.e. Facebook) don’t intrude on your interests, and the idea of being interested in BSD operating system creation. What I’m saying is that BSD is less hyped, and thank goodness.
- Another social media caution: it’s their space, not yours, and they can boot you at any time. (via)
- Yeah, I’m getting curmudgeonly. I’ll stop now.
- Go By Example.
- git-ftp, when the files you are working on are in a location only accessible by FTP – no git or ssh access. This appears to copy them in and out as part of the commit/change process. I can imagine a very specific workflow where this would be useful. (via)
- Bash One-Liners, part 4.
- OS Upgrades powered by Git. That’s a neat idea. I don’t think you actually have to follow the link; that’s the whole concept right there.
- The Ultimate Vim Distribution. (via) I like how slick the single-line install methods are on these things… but I want the number of packaging/install methods on every computer I administer to equal exactly 1, not (1 x number of installed programs).
- Why is Linux more popular than BSD? Some of the answers are just plain wrong, or don’t understand causality… but that’s no surprise. (via)
- Oh, hopefully this will solve the UEFI secureboot issue for DragonFly too. (via)
Your unrelated link of the week: A CD that comes with its own turntable and record. Kid Koala scrapes over culture to find mentions of vinyl and DJing the same way I scrounge the Internet for mention of BSD. His “Nerdball” from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is an astonishing display of turntable skill.

Category: Wasps and Kin
Category: Wasps and Kin
It may look like a furry and colorful ant, but watch out, the this velvet ant-like creature belongs to the Mutillidae family, which makes it wasp. Though females in this family lacks wings, you don't want to get on their bad side, they've earned their name for having a sting so painful, it has been exaggeratedly described as powerful enough to kill a cow, earning them the name: Cow Killer Ants. Female Cow Killers are very distinct, with furry bodies, an elongated thorax, and a bright orange or red color. Males are very different, lacking a stinger, but equipped with wings, and featuring a very different body shape (See below).
Something a bit different today, if you haven't yet figured it out this blob of sandy goo is jellyfish fresh from the shores of Galveston Beach, Texas. It washed up dead on the shore and made its way to the Sholesonian's collections for the first jelly specimen. This one belongs to the genus Aurelia also known as the common jellyfish as they are found throughout the Atlantic coasts and are also known as moon jellies. They do in fact sting producing a mild burning sensation, a possible rash, and nausea/high blood pressure about half an hour after the sting - nothing serious. Their bodies consist mostly of the bell (top dome area) and tentacles (thin strands that dangle) and can be easily recognized by their distinctive four black spots on top - their reproductive organs; and this species of medusoid is either male or female.
NH 347Furrow Spider
While we weren't able to make this for Saturday, here's another great spider post from our new researcher Eddie Brooks. This particular guy was found on the side of a shed in Ithaca, New York on the afternoon of March 16, 2012. And a nice big shoutout to the people over at Spiders.us who helped with the identification of this male orb weaver!
Larinioides cornutus, commonly known as the Furrow Spider, belongs to a group known as Orb Weavers, who get their name from the concentric circular pattern found in the webs the make. Orb weavers are prolific; they can be found on almost any continent, except Antarctica. The Furrow Spider in particular, however, can be found throughout North America and Europe, and has been occasionally observed in parts of Asia. They are nocturnal creatures that grow up to be roughly half an inch in size. They can be identified by the brown pattern on their backs. Furrow spiders will never bite unless provoked, and can be commonly found in urban settings, where they will prey upon other insects in basements, cellars, and other dark corners. For more information, BugGuide has details on the Furrow Spider and the Orb Weavers in general.
So you may have noticed something a bit different, the Sholesonian tag for this nice butterfly specimen is A006 so what in the world does that mean? Well, I'm currently in Arkansas working on a research project investigating the geology of Venus and I unfortunately wasn't able to bring all my museum equipment (including the record book for insects) so all non-geology/fossil posts will have a unique Arkansas tag. And now that we are back up and running here is a beautiful swallowtail specimen collected outside the Fantastic Caverns of Springfield, Missouri with a new Sholesonian researcher Eddie Brooks:
Marbled Orb Weaver
I am proud to say that the newest addition to the museum is a new collection of vialed insects and arachnids. So to kick off this new section I present this beast of a spider which my friend Kayla and I managed to find and capture her at Cornell University, down by Beebe Lake. Now we weren't too sure about our on-the-spot identification, but I believe that it may be a Marbled Orb Weaver, possibly Araneus marmoreus. They aren't poisonous but the thing is a bit too big for me to feel comfortable around it.
Thinking about making Saturdays 'Spider Saturdays,' but we shall see if that will continue . Anyway, technically today's exhibit isn't actually a spider at all despite most everyone calling them spiders. They are, however, arachnids (just not true spiders) and belong to the order Opiliones. I don't know the rest of the classification yet, but if anyone knows how to classify these guys further please just post a comment.
Banded Garden Spider
So, it's Saturday and I think I'll continue on with Spider Saturday here at the Sholesonian. Today is a very interesting piece that I personally collected, interesting in both how big it is and the story about how I captured it. First off, I can tell you that this is a Banded Garden Spider (Argiope trifasciata) after I mis-identified it as a Common Black and Yellow Garden Spider (thanks Kayla). Second, I should tell you how I go about collecting my spider collections. I use those plastic cups with lids that normally are used for taking ketchup and other condiments for on the go, and I just scoop them up when I find them.
It's Saturday, which means only one thing, that it's Spider Saturday! Today's spider is actually the first spider from outside my building I caught and vialed for the collection. This spider is a very common grass spider here in Ithaca. This guy belongs to the genus Agelenopsis and is probably a male. He was found behind Warren Hall , Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA and collected on September 18th, 2010. These guys build funnel webs to live and catch their prey (though their webs aren't sticky like the stereotypical spider web, but they are quite fast and agile).
So I know I like to space out the collections but I looked and realized that out of all the Natural History pieces I've put up so far, only 3, they have all been vialed spiders. So to diversify the posts I decided today would be a good day to post up one of the pinned insects from the collection. And to start off I present you all with one of my favorite pinned pieces. So if you haven't been able to tell yet, this guy is a dragonfly and I am going to temporarily identify him as a Great Blue Skimmer (Libellula vibrans).
So nothing too fantastic today, just an ordinary worm that I collected. Now while I'm not an expert on insects by any means, worms (which are Annelids rather than Arthropods) are way out of my scope of identification. This means that you guys will have to go on my best guess for what this is and I'm only going down to the family classification. For now I am calling this guy just a regular North American earthworm, family: Lumbricidae. Any further would require me to do some more extensive research, of which I am too busy to do especially when their are more important specimens that need that kind of attention.
The Sholesonian is an online museum databasing all the unique, scientific, and interesting things I've found over the years. Every week I'll be posting up at least one new item to the collection along with a little tidbit on what it is. Enjoy!

General overview for 03/06/2015 08:00 CET
The anticipated wave c purple to the downside has finally materialized and the first leg of the corrective cycle in wave 2 blue looks completed. Currently, there is still a possibility that the market will be in the corrective cycle for some time as correction might get more complex and time-consuming. The long-term bias is still bullish.
1.2575 - WR1
1.2561 - Local Swing High
1.2489 - Intraday Resistance
1.2422 - Weekly Pivot
1.2395 - Technical Support (weak)
1.2321 - Technical Support
1.2313 - WS1
The projected TP targets from yesterday has been met. Now, it is better to stay aside and wait for the corrective cycle to complete. Buying on dips during the corrective cycle is the way to trade on this market at the moment.

How automated transmissions keep changing trucking
Perhaps it’s just a matter of ego, but one of the things that always separated truckers from passenger car drivers was the ability to shift multi-range transmissions. Today, an entire generation of motorists is clueless when faced with a standard transmission.
In the mid-1950s, when I learned to drive, we had only 3-speed column shift gearboxes. The Drivers Ed teacher believed that if you could drive with a clutch, you could drive anything. He was right. First gear was not synchronized in those “3 on the tree” days, before “4 on the floor” became popular. To get into first, you had to come to a stop or learn to double clutch and match vehicle and engine speeds. That skill demonstrated its value when I learned to drive trucks.
Truckers not only learned double clutching, many mastered the art of twin stick shifting, using a main and auxiliary transmission, each with its own control. Terms like 4X3, 5X2 and 6X4 defined the numbers of gears in the main and auxiliary boxes, yielding as many as 24 forward speeds. As a result, trucks were controllable, but at the end of a shift drivers had aching left legs and sore right shoulders. Safety was an issue as drivers took their eyes off the road to match tachometer and speedometer readings while trying to master three pedals with two feet.
Many drivers learned to “float the gears.” If you released torque by lifting the throttle, shifting into neutral and adjusting engine rpm for the next gear, you could shift by letting the gears float together without using the clutch. Even though all transmission makers frowned on clutchless shifting, the veterans rarely missed shifts or ground gears. But “rarely” doesn’t mean never. And missing shifts contributes to transmission wear. Damage was slight but progressive. Over time, it could become significant.
Range selector mechanisms, developed first by Fuller Manufacturing, integrated the two gearboxes using air to engage overdrive gears. But it wasn’t until the early 1990s that Eaton introduced the first step toward true automation: the Top 2. These transmissions, usually 10-speeds, used a computer to shift between the top two gears. Research showed that for long -haul drivers, more than 90 percent of total shifts were between those gears. From 1 into 9, it was still a manual box.
Automatic transmissions were available from Allison, but due to cost and complexity, they were generally confined to vocational applications.
Truckers needed a way to keep the benefits of a manual transmission and still have convenience of an automatic. That was the genesis of the automated manual transmission (AMT). In the late 1990s, Eaton computerized the method of floating gears used by skilled drivers. The then-new SAE J1939 data sharing protocol allowed the transmission’s computer control to share information and commands with the engine control unit (ECU).
Eaton’s AutoShift still required the driver to depress the clutch pedal when starting and stopping until the truck was in neutral or under way. Once rolling, the transmission controller told the ECU when to apply torque and when to ease off and to tell the shifter when to float the gears. With the computer control, every shift was perfect. If a shift couldn’t be completed because it would lug or overspeed the engine, the computer would not initiate the shift.
The first time I drove an AutoShift, I went over the Ozark Mountains across Missouri. There were long 6 percent grades where I would never try to shift gears for fear of getting stuck in neutral and losing all engine braking. With the AutoShift in manual mode, I stab-braked to cut speed and pushed the button to get to a lower gear. It worked, sometimes twice on the same hill, proving its worth as a safety feature.
The market grows
Soon others entered the AMT market. Automation actually started in Europe, and Meritor teamed up with Germany’s ZF to introduce the Freedom Line. Originally available in either 12- or 16-speed, the Freedom Line had a computer-actuated clutch, so no clutch pedal was needed. It was the first two-pedal (throttle and brake only) AMT in North America.
Throughout the first decade of the 21st century, Eaton and ZF-Meritor battled in the courts over patent issues while Eaton continued to develop its AMT line. Improvements in computers allowed Eaton to add a computer-controlled clutch. The resulting two-pedal transmission was called the UltraShift. Over time, variants tailored for specific applications were introduced.
Today, Eaton features six models under the UltraShift PLUS label. All share Hill Start Aid software and sensors that, when engaged, prevent rollbacks for the first few seconds after brakes are released. Start-up on hills is simpler and safer, especially for novices. Gear selection and shift decisions are based on grade-sensing, and weight computation as well as driver commands. Working with the engine controller, sensors look at throttle position and the rate of pedal movement to calculate the driver’s demands.
In the last few years, Europe-based truck makers have adapted their proprietary transmissions for American highway and load conditions. First was Volvo with its I-Shift, a two-pedal 12-speed designed to operate with Volvo’s own engines.
When an AMT is mated to a nonproprietary engine, commands and data are exchanged in general terms because the multi-dimensional calculations engine makers develop for performance and economy are not shared outside the company. A transmission and engine made by the same manufacturer can be programmed to work together more precisely and save an additional percent or two in mpg.
Volvo’s I-Shift adds measurement of torque demand, and air and rolling resistance to weight, throttle demand, vehicle speed and grade changes to select the optimal gear for the Volvo engine it’s mated with. Its Eco-Roll feature uses the truck’s kinetic energy to allow the engine to disengage when going down moderate hills, rolling out longer before returning to power and so saving as much as 2 percent fuel when used. I-Shift also has an optional kick-down feature with three programmable settings and an option to select between economy and performance modes. These are a few of the features available when engine and transmission share data without restriction.
Mack’s mDRIVE is part of the Volvo family and shares many of the I-Shift’s features just as Volvo and Mack share many engine features. Demand for automated transmissions has risen to the point that Mack and Volvo recently made them standard equipment on their trucks.
Last year, Detroit introduced the DT12, a 12-speed AMT designed to work with Detroit engines used by Freightliner and Western Star. It has many of the same features as its counterparts, including eCoast to maximize fuel efficiency by letting the engine idle while cruising down steep grades. Its variable speed cruise control allows the engine brake to control speed: +3 mph when in low for steep grades; +6 mph when in medium for rolling hills; off for flat terrain and areas with noise restrictions. The engine brake is disabled when in cruise control.
With most proprietary truck makers building their own engines and transmissions, Eaton has announced partnerships with Cummins and PACCAR to develop UltraShift PLUS gearboxes, taking advantage of the proprietary engine data from each manufacturer. They also announced a new series of transmissions, the Fuller Advantage Series, in both manual and AMT versions, to be available the first quarter of 2014.

Promoting an international peace culture is essential to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Kuwaiti poet and activist Abdulaziz Saud Al-Baptain told an IPI audience on September 7th at an event entitled, “Advancing the Culture of Peace.”
Focusing on a culture of peace is “a continuous course that we must not stop,” said Mr. Al-Baptain, who is the Director and Founder of the Al-Baptain Foundation, which promotes intercultural dialogue based on understanding, respect and peace.
“I am sure we can develop a joint interactive action into a larger scale,” he said, “and these activities will include non-governmental institutions and NGOs to promote a culture of peace and continuous dialogue.”
The event played on the commonalities of two major UN initiatives—the 1999 Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Addressing the topic in introductory remarks, IPI President Terje Rød-Larsen said, “Recently instead of asking what causes war and how can we fight it, people have been asking, ‘What makes a peaceful society, how can we build it, and how can we sustain it?’”
To answer these questions, he said, “We must explore the connections between culture, peace, security and development. The concept of a culture of peace unites all of these.”
Picking up on Mr. Al-Baptain’s point, outgoing General Assembly President Peter Thomson said, “With sustainable development and sustainable peace standing together, it’s clear we must do what we can to create an environment for success, cultivating a culture of peace. He noted that that message was “a defining one” in the development of the SDGs and represented the best framework for achieving success in the future.
“Building sustainable peace requires comprehensive approaches that bridge human rights, peace and security, and development,” he said, adding that this kind of thinking had only “recently been operationalized by the UN.”
Gillian Bird, the Permanent Representative of Australia, singled out achieving UN coherence and establishing predictable financing, both focuses of many past UN reviews, as ways of minimizing risk and maximizing the “dividends of peace” going forward.
She commended UNESCO’s global initiative for building a culture of peace through education and empowerment as the kind of “driver of peace” that people ought to focus their energies on instead of concentrating just on “drivers of conflict.”
One specific driver of peace that she recommended acting on was incorporating the conclusive finding that the involvement of women increases the chances for prevention and resolution of conflict. By way of evidence, she said that “gender equality appears to be a better indicator of peacefulness than the strength of democracy or GDP.”
Masud Bin Momen, Permanent Representative of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, highlighted early childhood education “critically relevant.”
“One of the most effective ways to mainstream the culture of peace across societies,” he said “is to install the underlying values of tolerance, diversity, inclusivity, and pluralism starting with young impressionable minds.”
On the matter of making coherent the many actions emanating from the UN, Oscar Fernandez-Taranco, Assistant Secretary-General for Peacebuilding Support, pointed out that “the people who receive, require and expect the support of the United Nations don’t ask if they’re coming from this, that, or another part of the UN.”
“The UN has one flag,” he concluded. “It’s everybody’s flag, and that’s what the billions of people with whom we engage intensely expect.”
IPI Vice President Adam Lupel moderated the discussion.

Historic District Neighborhood
The Historic District is quite probably the most ironically named area in the City, as it implies an actual history instead of one fabricated by the Machines. The Historic District is located in the south end of Downtown, surrounded by Vauxton, South Vauxton, and Edgewater. The buildings appear to have originally been built between the turn of the century and the '40s, with artistic touches on many buildings. The neighborhood is a favorite of the bluepills that work in Chelsea and Maribeau for places to lunch that aren't fast-food chains. Both upscale shops and older businesses can be found here, competing for the attention of the bluepills on the busy sidewalks.
Gang activity in the Historic District is fairly light making it a relatively safe zone for Warriors of Zion. However, Agents also frequent the area in search of Exiles, which means that Zionites should be watchful when visiting this neighborhood.
The Pit Vipers take their name from the snakes that live in deep pits that do not strike until their victims steps into their midst. They have only recently moved into the Historic District so their activities have been limited to random assaults and petty break-ins. The fact that they are fairly new to the Historic District indicates that they may be a breakaway gang from another gang--possibly the 88's or even the Death Merchants. As new members are inducted into the gang, they are given a gang name based on the names or nicknames of snakes such as Diamondback, Slither, Fang, Cottonmouth, or simply Snake.
The Pit Vipers are not at war with any other gang at this time and confine most of their activities to backalleys, although they may be encountered on the main streets after dark.

Craig’s team building clinics can help you make your team stronger, more collaborative, and supportive. They are also fun and challenging. What sets Craig’s team building exercises apart from other corporate team building exercises is his ability to blend magic in with real-world scenarios. He expertly blends mind-blowing magic tricks with fun and challenging exercises, so employees remain active and engaged. At Craig’s team building clinics, participants always have a good time and come away with new skills for improving their team dynamic.
Craig offers an initial consultation to learn about your business or team’s specific event. After the initial consultation, Craig will design a custom workshop just for you. Craig is happy to customize the event to any budget or size group.
Depending on the size of your group, participants are organized into groups or small teams. Craig performs a magic trick, then each group or small team is asked to recreate the magic trick within a set amount of time with little or no coaching from Craig.
The teams are encouraged to come up with their own presentations and patter for the tricks. Participants must use creative thinking, communication, presentation, and problem-solving skills. These exercises often help participants and teams illuminate their own unique abilities and talents.
“Craig is a true professional! We have hired him 4 times over the past few years and he is ALWAYS a smashing success at our events! He comes prepared, his communication before/after is perfect, his personality shines through and everyone truly enjoys his magic. He has also prepared new tricks each time we’ve had him at a client event. He really is the highlight of our events! Thank you so much Craig for always being an amazing entertainer. You truly ARE Magic! “

See-through bikini on Ratghoul plagued companion
With the Ratgoul plague ending tonight I've been rushing frantically trying to collect all of the Ratghoul customizations for companions that have only been made available during the plague time. Bioware made eight available, one for each class. To get the customizations you had to purchase a random role customization chest from the Jawa on Tatooine and I ended up with six unique different ones and about five duplicates. Luckily I was able to get three of the female ones that are available for Kira, Mako and Elara Donne. Like always, I thought I'd take some nice high res images of the female companions in bikinis. Unfortunately, Bioware didn't think anybody would consider equipping bikinis on their female plagued companions! The result was inappropriate to say the least.
I was shocked when I saw how much the bikini revealed on Elara. How did this get into the game? She is showing way too much! :)
The default naked look for Elara has a long sleeve shirt and pants equipped. I guess Bioware didn't want to spend the time creating body skins for female zombies. Let's hope they fix it. I'll check Mako and Kira and post what I find. I only just got those customizations minutes before the servers went down.
At first I thought it was because she wore heavy armor but Kira wears light armor and it will be interesting to see if she can pull off the bikini zombie look.

At the Washington D.C. Auto Show this past weekend PETA made an appearance. Most people would associate PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) as the organization best known for its protests against animal cruelty. One might suspect that they were at the show lashing out against leather seats. But they weren't there with buckets of red paint; instead they brought vegan drumsticks made from wheat and soy that they distributed to show goers. Their aim was to promote awareness of the costs to society of eating meat. As a known carnivore, I've got no problem with PETA encouraging people to "go vegan." More cow, pig and chicken for me.

Like most gadgets, your tablet is prone to slowing down with age. Apps that once opened in the blink of an eye, will eventually take precious seconds to load. Likewise, screen swipes that were initially fluid and bouncy will appear slow and unresponsive. Fortunately, the tablet fountain of youth isn't as elusive as you think. With a few simple nips and tucks you can optimize your tablet to run like it did when your first purchased it.
Delete Unnecessary Apps, Music, Video, and Photos
Content may be king, but when it comes to your tablet, it can also be its downfall. Over time our tablets can collect apps and media that we no longer use. This in turn clogs up your tablet's storage space, which leads to slower write times and an overall slower tablet experience. This is especially true if your tablet is down to its last few gigabytes of storage, which for Apple users, might come sooner than expected now that the company is allowing for bigger 4GB apps.
An easy way to prevent this slowdown is to routinely perform maintenance on your tablet. Apps and media that you no longer use should be uninstalled from your tablet's drive. While there's no magical number of apps or media that you should keep on your tablet, the more storage space you're able to free, the leaner your OS will run. For starters, you could try uninstalling any apps that you haven't used in the past month. If your situation is dire, you may want to try running your tablet on just five apps or rely on your tablet's stock or built-in apps for all of your work.
Wipe Your Browser/App Cache
Everyone surfs the Web with their tablet, but chances are that not everyone thinks to delete their browser's cache. While this may not result in a noticeable speed increase, it's a small step you can take to ensure you don't have any unnecessary files stored on your tablet.
Some of today's apps also keep a folder of documents or cached items stored on your tablet. If the app permits, you may want to delete this cache to speed up performance and load times. However, keep in mind this may result in you losing saved games or saved app history. While not catastrophic, it's something you should take into account. If the app doesn't allow you to empty its cache, another alternative is to delete and reinstall it.
Backup and Factory Reset Your Tablet's Drive
Resetting your tablet is one of the easiest, albeit most time consuming, ways to rejuvenate your tablet. Before you begin, you'll want to make sure you backup your tablet so you don't lose any valuable information. Once complete, you can drill through your tablet's settings until you find the option to reformat. This will return your tablet's software to the state it was in when it was first manufactured, giving it the most noticeable speed increase.
Once you've booted up again, try to rely on your tablet's built-in apps for all your needs. When necessary, install your apps on a one-by-one basis. This will ensure you only install the apps that you absolutely need or use on a regular basis.
Keep It Clean
This one should be fairly obvious, but the cleaner your tablet's screen, the quicker it'll recognize your swipes and gestures. It doesn't have to be spotless, but at the end of every week you should wipe it down with a microfiber cloth and ensure any ports and jacks are free of dirt or lint. For stubborn stains, you may want to dampen a section of your microfiber cloth and gently wipe your tablet's screen with it. Then wick away any moisture left behind with the dry side of your cloth. This will remove any grease or oil stains and allow your tablet to react instantaneously to your swipes.
Don't Rush to Install the Latest Updates
We're all guilty of it. Your favorite app releases an update and you rush to install it without first reading what changes it brings. For a new tablet, this may not be a reason for concern, but for older tablets, an updated app can mean a noticeably longer load time. Likewise, updating your tablet's OS can bring your tablet to a crawling halt.
Rather than be first in line to upgrade when a major OS or app upgrade is released, wait and scope out initial reactions online. Particularly, look for reviews of how the update might affect your tablet. If it shortens battery life or creates unnecessary lag, skip the upgrade. You'll be limiting your tablet's functionality in the process, but you'll also be ensuring it runs smoothly and lag-free.
Disable Background Processes
Widgets and notifications make it easier to find information on your tablet. However, having too many of these could slow performance and decrease battery life. In fact, any background activity is likely to affect your tablet's performance.
For Android tablets, users should check their battery info screen to see which apps are draining their battery. If it's something you're currently using, then consider stopping or uninstalling that app. However, you should only do this if it's an app you're sure you can stop. In addition, you can also increase performance by choosing traditional wallpapers instead of "live" wallpapers. Also, you should turn off and reduce any animations on an Android tablet.
On an iPad, you'll want to enable "Reduce Motion," which reduces the motion of the user interface, including the parallax effect of icons and alerts.
With the aforementioned tweaks, you should be able to squeeze more life out of your tablet and improve your overall tablet-user experience. Readers, do you have additional performance tips that you've relied on in the past? Let us know in the comments below.

The European Commission will scrutinise any planned UK rule changes on immigrants' access to benefits, a spokesman said today.
"The commission would have to scrutinise those proposals to make sure they were fully compatible with free movement of workers, rights of residence and social security co-ordination," said Jonathon Todd, spokesman for employment and social affairs Commissioner Laszlo Andor.
Asked about Mr Cameron's determination to end the "something for nothing" culture, Mr Todd responded: "There are existing very strong safeguards which have been agreed by all member states including the UK, which exist in EU law to prevent social benefit tourism.
"You can only claim social security benefits if you are working in another member state, or are a family member of someone working in another member state, or are habitually resident in that member state."
He added: "The vast majority of people who move to another member state do so to work, not to claim benefits."

How many times have you heard ‘why don’t you just leave’? ‘Why are you still talking to him/her’?
I have said it thousands of times, unless your friend or family member has first person experience with a Sociopath, they truly cannot understand why you simply ‘don’t just leave’. It is not that your support system, friends, family, do not care, they just do not get it. What do they not ‘get’? Lets start with just the very basics.
~emotional trauma. No one likes to ring up their best friend or family member and say ‘oh by the way, I am being emotionally abused and manipulated.’ However, YOU do not even know that is going on until it is to late. Already sucked into the dark, twisted, unbelievable life of a Narcissistic Sociopath. So how do you begin to explain, in a logical sense to someone the trauma you have endured, and may still continue to endure? There is no logical explanation.
~destroyed self-esteem. Your loved ones can tell you how wonderful you are, how fantastic your life will be without the Sociopath. Your friends may tell you ‘there are more people out there to date’. As if that is the first thing you want to hear after your self-esteem being nearly annihilated! How difficult it is to simply slap a happy face on and go about your day! When you feel your entire being has just come out of a paper shredder. There again, is no logical explanation that can help someone to understand. You, yourself cannot understand or accept why you let the Sociopath destroy your core. Please remember, it was not something you said/did/didn’t do, and the laundry list of other
excuses and reason’s you may be giving yourself. The Sociopath knew, from moment one of meeting you, what the outcome of your relationship would be. And it would be a trip through pure HELL.
~mental manipulation. You are told the most horrific things about yourself that no one has ever said before. Something from the way you look, to how you hold a fork, to the way you wash your hair. And even deeper than that, is the subtle manipulation done. The Sociopath starts about “oh my ex used to (_____)” which in turn, makes you feel like shit because there is a comparison going on. Not always in a positive way. So what do you do? You want to make sure this absolutely love of your life is never hurt again, and you do things you would not ordinarily do. Which leads into the mental manipulation being done. Silently.
~lies, lies and more lies. Most often when a friend or family member hears about the
absurd insane lies that you listened to regurgitating out of the Sociopaths mouth, they will question you ‘why didn’t you leave when you figured out they were lies?’….The first reason is, you had to become a detective!! In a sense, to begin to try and discern if what the Sociopath said was really a bold lie, a white lie, close but no to close to the truth, or just the usual Sociopaths ability to spin the most intricate lie. And then, how dare you question this grand lie they came up with. How do you explain that to someone? How do you explain that you spent the majority of the relationship being on the receiving end of lies, cruelty, becoming a detective, seeking out the truths? On a near daily basis?
~embarrassment. This is a big one! When you introduced the Sociopath to your inner circle, invited the devil into your den of family and friends-the charm factor was at full force. You, family, friends, co-workers, all thought ‘oh finally the perfect one’. Only for you to be methodically ripped apart, behind closed doors. If you became overwhelmed by the abuse, the embarrassment potentially set in, because everyone can see how
horrific wonderful the Sociopath is. So surely it must be me, right? Maybe I am the one with the problem, hell, maybe I am a Narcissistic Sociopath. And that is exactly what happens to you, that thought process that this is all my fault. NO! Absolutely not! You want to save-face and not expose what is really happening to you, because in all likely hood your head is reeling! Best not to embarrass yourself, right? WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! There is no embarrassment from escaping the clutches of manipulative, vile, mean, souless individual.
~Just Leave. When you have finally come to terms with what has or is happening to you, it will be time to Just Leave. All over my website you will read these words “you cannot fix the Sociopath. You cannot love the Sociopath enough. You can do NOTHING, ZERO to change them”. The only way to Just Leave, is to accept you did not fail, the Sociopath set you up for failure. And to stop the repeated abuse, manipulation, entrapment is to Leave. However you can. And most importantly, most important when you do this, you must, absolutely must go NO CONTACT!
It’s not the people who change, its the mask fell off

As soon as it warms up, we take life out doors – dining al fresco, music festivals, beaches, hikes… heck, even a park bench on a warm and sunny day will do.
We know that when you vacation in a Saugatuck hotel, you want to keep that outdoor living streak alive. So, not only do we offer outdoor dining on our beautiful deck, but we’ve also got a list of great suggestions for fun activities that will let you enjoy summer to the fullest.
1. Life’s a Beach
Oval Beach is one of the crown jewels of our area. And we’re not the only ones who think so – Conde Nast Traveler named it one of the 25 best shorelines in the world. The soft white sand and blue water may even leave you feeling like you magically ended up in the Caribbean.
Visitors can take advantage of all-day parking (including the option to leave and come back throughout the day) for $6, as well as bathrooms, showers, changing rooms and a concession stand. There are plenty of other beautiful beaches nearby though, so feel free to explore to find your favorite!
2. Smooth Sailing
If you love being on the open water, you should not miss the chance to take a sail on Lake Michigan. There are several great companies in the area that offer anything from a couple hours to a full day on a captained sail boat. Head out in the morning or afternoon and sunbath on the deck, or set sail in the evening to enjoy a sunset cruise and cocktails.
At J. Paul’s, we certainly take advantage of the fact that southwest Michigan has more than its fair share of small farms, and we think you should too. Visit one of the area’s “U-Pick” orchards for the pleasure of picking your own fresh blueberries, strawberries, cherries and more.
4. Dune It Up
One of our claims to fame is, of course, Saugatuck Dunes State Park, which boasts two and a half miles of pristine shoreline and stunning sand dunes over 200 feet high. Take it all in on a peaceful hike or get your adrenaline pumping by seeing the park from the back of a specially outfitted dune buggy that’s built to traverse the sandy hills with ease.
5. A Horse Of Course
Check out Wild West Horseback Riding to go on a guided horseback tour of Allegan Forest. Regardless of your skill level, you can enjoy a relaxing ride on the sun-dappled trail that boasts a bounty of wildlife and beautiful scenery.
6. Aqua Athletics
If your idea of enjoying the water is a little more active than swimming or sailing, we’ve got a few perfect activities just for you. Stop by Shaka Surf in Douglas to rent a kayak or get a lesson in paddle-boarding, which will ensure that you don’t feel even a little guilty when you order our chocolate cheesecake after dinner.
Whether your idea of enjoying the great outdoors involves a patio and a drink or a kayak and a hiking trail, Saugatuck-Douglas has something for you.
We pride ourselves on being among the best in Saugatuck hotels, so it’s our pleasure to help you plan your time here – give us a call before you come and we can help you plan some fun in the sun that’s right up your alley.

Electricity Generation Capacity Tenders in the Security of Supply Interest: It’s All Wrong, but It’s All Right
Title: Electricity Generation Capacity Tenders in the Security of Supply Interest: It’s All Wrong, but It’s All Right
Author: BJORNEBYE, Henrik
Series/Report no.: EUI RSCAS; 2007/06; Florence School of Regulation
This article discusses the relationship between Member State obligations to facilitate a stable internal electricity market investment climate on the one hand and rights to intervene in investment decisions by launching a tender procedure on the other hand. The author argues that, although responsibility for investments in new electricity generation capacity is at the outset left to market participants based on electricity market price signals, public intervention mechanisms still have a part to play in promoting desired investments. Member State obligations to facilitate a stable investment climate are not necessarily sufficient to ensure security of supply. Given the complexity of the market evaluations to be made and the fundamental interests involved in securing Member States electricity supplies, it is argued that Community institutions should practice some degree of self-restraint in their review of whether a tendering procedure is necessary in the security of supply interest. Furthermore, it is submitted that Member State rights to rely on demand-side tenders and tenders in the environmental interest may contribute to realize the overall EU energy policy priorities of environmental protection and security of supply.

When the NSA
forced several major tech companies including Facebook
, and Yahoo
to cough up data on their users
, one got the sense that it was a situation of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.
The first round of that battle went to the NSA because it had (some shadily-acquired) court documents that forced compliance, but these are companies with leaders that are not accustomed to being told what to do. (If anyone is going to spy on Facebook users, by god it’s going to be Facebook itself.) Further, the companies are concerned that the NSA is also hacking their network transmissions
, including tapping fiber optic cables and breaking encryption.
Unsurprisingly, the companies are fighting back with the best weapon they have--coding. According to Bloomberg, at least three companies (Google, Facebook, and Yahoo) are developing code that is much harder to break by employing more complex encryption and longer 2048-bit digital keys.
Google is developing a way to detect fraudulent certificates that verify website authenticity, and Facebook is making use of “perfect forward secrecy” that keeps users’ communications encrypted even if an entity such as the NSA gets a security code.
The heightened security is designed to keep emails, social media posts, video calls, and Internet searches away from the NSA’s spying eyes.
“It’s very important that the users of our services understand that we are stewards of their data, we hold it responsibly, we treat it with respect,” Google director of law enforcement and information Richard Salgado told a Senate subcommittee. “We’ve already seen impacts on the businesses.”
Of course, none of this stops the NSA from acquiring data through “legal” means such as FISA court orders, but at least these new developments could prevent some of the obviously illegal spying that’s been going on. In a previous article
we quoted Eric Grosse, vice president for security engineering at Google, as saying that this is basically an arms race. That still sounds about right, and it’s a damn shame.

If revolution is the moment when the masses take to the stage of history, then Hugo Chavez’s Bolivarian Revolution began on 11 April 2002.
A right wing coup kidnapped him and proclaimed a new government. It lasted barely 48 hours.
Tens of thousands of Chavez supporters surrounded the presidential palace demanding his return.
Later that year, the right launched a bosses’ strike with the intention of paralysing the oil industry on which the country depended. This too was defeated by the mass mobilisation of Chavez’s supporters.
His victory in the presidential elections in 1998 hadn’t had much resonance outside Venezuela at the time. But within the country the effect was dramatic.
Chavez’s election manifesto was anti-imperialist, specifically hostile to the US which had dominated Venezuela throughout the 20th century.
It was nationalist, under the banner of Simon Bolivar, leader of Latin America’s 19th century independence movement. And it promised a reform of the corrupt state machine and the system of patronage it concealed.
The new constitution, passed by a delegate assembly in 1999, provided guarantees of social justice, human rights and the accountability of politicians.
But it was equally true that Chavez was still relying on his military supporters (see below).
He enjoyed mass support among the poor, but that relationship had no organised political expression. And his party, the Fifth Republic Movement, proved to be unaccountable and susceptible to the corruptions of power.
In 2000 Chavez presented himself for new elections under the rewritten constitution.
And between 2002 and 2005 the Bolivarian process took a new and more radical direction. The state oil company was placed under direct state control. Until then it had operated autonomously, like any other multinational.
Its profits then funded programmes of social reforms—in health, education and housing in particular—driven by rank and file organizations called missions.
In 2005, speaking at the World Social Forum, Chavez announced that Venezuela was constructing “21st century socialism”. While it was received joyfully, it remained unclear what it meant.
It was clearly different from Stalinism, emphasising democracy and popular participation, and it was radically anti-imperialist.
Chavez scourged Bush and the US invasion of Iraq at the UN, and began to build organisations of Latin American unity linking other “new left” governments in Bolivia and Ecuador.
And in a series of electoral tests it became clear that Chavez’s support was growing. In 2006 he won the presidency again with over 60 percent of the national vote. Some weeks later he announced the formation of a new party, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).
Had the revolutionary nationalist become a revolutionary socialist? Chavez and others frequently referred to Leon Trotsky, Rosa Luxemburg and Antonio Gramsci—as well as Simon Bolivar, and God.
If the transformation was real, then the PSUV would be an expression of power passing directly into the hands of the mass organisations, which was the brief expectation of many on the left.
Nearly six million joined the new party, a testimony to Chavez’s enormous popularity.
But the model of the party adopted by the PSUV appeared to be the Cuban Communist Party, not noted for its democratic character.
The irony of the Bolivarian revolution is that its undoubted social advances were made possible by the rising price of oil.
This funded the social programmes and oil remains the country’s main export earner.
Chavez diversified Venezuela’s international dependencies. China, Russia and Iran came to play an increasingly central role.
Yet, despite the hysteria of the anti-Chavez camp, there was no policy of redistribution.
Some firms were nationalised and compensated at market rates, but for the most part only when they were abandoned or guilty of the most barefaced manipulations.
The year 2006 was in many ways a crossroads. The creation of Latin American blocs such as ALBA and CELAC were expressions of Chavez’s Bolivarianism, his Panamerican vision.
Yet this was not the 21st century socialism, the democratic revolution, that had been promised.
In Venezuela a new elite was emerging, a dominant bureaucracy in red caps and T-shirts. At the same time inefficiencies, the failure to complete major projects, and the incorporation of mass leaders slowly undermined the mass organisations whose struggles had carried Chavez to power.
Every vote confirmed Chavez’s immense popularity. But conversations at street corners testified to an increasing frustration with a new political machine that appeared to function at Chavez’s whim.
There was no open process of decision-making. Instead policies were announced—often without prior notice—on Chavez’s entertaining Sunday morning TV specials. The impression was of a regime without a strategic vision that created policy on the hoof.
Political discussion was increasingly polarised. Public denunciations replaced debate. And power was becoming concentrated on Chavez and his immediate circle.
But it was not the idea of creating an alternative capitalist bloc that had brought Latin America’s mass movements on to the streets. It was the promise of “people’s power” that made Chavez such a potent symbol of resistance and of a different, socialist future.
On the eve of his last journey to Havana for medical treatment, Chavez assured his television audience that he was leaving a strong collective leadership behind him.
In fact the power of the Chavista state was concentrated in Chavez himself. Without him the sectional interests and power hunger of individual members of his government are almost bound to emerge and conflict. No one has the charisma that Chavez undoubtedly possessed.
The alternative that faces Venezuela after Chavez is either the growing use of a state that claims his name but cannot claim his influence, or the re-emergence of a powerful mass movement still ready to struggle for “people’s power”.
He left behind a language of liberation and solidarity, but the structures to turn them into a new and different kind of society have yet to be built.
On 4 February 1992 a young parachute colonel in Venezuela led a coup. It lasted just 24 hours.
His name was Hugo Chavez Frias. He was arrested, and given a minute on television to call his people back. His announcement that it was over “for now” became legend.
For decades a corrupt two-party bureaucracy had shared power—and the rich pickings from the oil industry.
In 1989, the recently elected president Carlos Andrés Pérez agreed to an austerity programme from the International Monetary Fund. The population of the poor barrios exploded in three days of urban insurrection, the “Caracazo”.
The rising was brutally repressed, but the anger and the protests continued.
Hugo Chavez was born to a poor family in the province of Barinas. His mother was a teacher.
Unlike most of Latin America, the Venezuelan armed forces did offer a career path for the lower middle class and Chavez entered the military academy.
His story has certainly been mythologised, but Chavez bore the unmistakable marks of his background—his chiselled mixed race features, his way of speaking and carrying himself, his genuine love of popular culture.
That is partly why he commanded such profound loyalty among Venezuela’s poor and working classes.
The ferocious hatred of Chavez among the middle classes is for the same reasons—because his racial and social origins marked him as an outsider.
In the academy Chavez rose quickly, and not just because he was good at baseball, which he claimed was his other favoured career.
He gathered around him a small group of young officers from a similar background.
Their main political influence was Douglas Bravo, who led the guerrilla movement in Venezuela. Bravo had split from the Communist party when it abandoned a guerrilla strategy.
His central notion was what he called the “civic-military alliance”—a coalition of dissident military officers, peasant and workers organisations, and an armed wing.
The 1992 coup was intended to be a simultaneous action of all three, but to Bravo’s annoyance Chavez limited it to a military action. He later shifted his strategy in an electoral direction.

Caleb is exactly correct here. As useful as some of these tools are under
limited circumstances, they cannot substitute human translation. There is
just too big an element of language that does not conform to logical
patterns. There are logical patterns in language, which allows language to
work in the first place, but much of language then works outside of these
bounds, creating a nightmare for trying to machine translate anything - all
the hype not withstanding...

RSS feeds: v0.91; v1.0 (RDF); v2.0; Atom.
Previous entry. Next entry.
10:11am on Saturday, 29th November, 2008:
Here I am at Gatwick Airport, waiting outside gate 52 at the North Terminal. I'm sitting on the metal housing that protects some pipes from people with trolleys, because despite the fact that we were told the latest we should arrive at gate 52 is 10:35, they haven't opened it yet (it's 10:00).
To get to Gatwick on time, I needed to check what train to catch. The place to look for UK train times is thetrainline, so that's what I did. It told me to catch the 6:36 from Colchester, get off at Stratford, take some other line to London Bridge, then get a train from there to Gatwick.
Hmm. That's not the sensible way to do it. The sensible way is to stay on the 6:36 and get off at Liverpool Street, then tube it to Victoria, then catch the Gatwick Express from there. Stratford is an awful station with poor information as to what platforms are for people taking what trains to where. It used to tell you to get a train from platform 10 without having any indication of which platform is platform 10, but because of the 2012 Olympics (for which Stratford will be the main station) they seem to have made some token effort to get their act together. It's still an awful, desolate station, though.
OK, so I didn't want to get off at Stratford. I told thetrainline I wanted to go via Liverpool Street. It chuntered away, then told me to get out at Stratford and take the Central Line to Liverpool Street. It did this for every time of train I checked, which was all of them between 5am and 9:30am.
I've had problems with these automated route-finding systems before, eg. when British Airways wanted to fly me between two American cities via Manchester, but they don't normally put up this much of a fight. Thetrainline was insisting I got off at Stratford, no matter what. I was beginning to wonder if the Stratford Chamber of Commerce had paid them to do it. Anyway, after some cajoling, I managed to establish that the 6:34 from Colchester did actually go to Liverpool Street, so all was well.
This morning, I got to Colchester North station in time for the 6:34, and found that there was engineering work on the line. All trains were stopping at Stratford. There was a coach service from Stratford to Liverpool Street.
Augh! Why didn't they just say that on thetrainline? Or, if they did say it, why didn't they say it so people would notice?

I had too many problems in my mind. Anger, fear and even guilt. I could not come to terms with many things in life. I wrote to Guruji and got Alpha Music Therapy by mail. I heard it only 3 times. Today my mind is much more peaceful and i am able to meditate and feel calm. This is invaluable to me. Guruji has saved my life. Million thanks Guruji!

Posted Wednesday, Feb 14, 2018
Finding a good deal at a used car dealership is about a lot more than the sticker price. When you're shopping used cars for sale, there are a lot of potential factors that could go into how well the car runs and whether it suits your needs. How many miles are on it? Did the previous owner take care of it? How many more years is it expected to last?
Instead of playing guesswork, there are a number of questions you can -- and should -- ask at every pre-owned dealership before you make a final decision. Follow this guide to make sure you get all of the information you need to drive off the lot with confidence.
Can I See the Certification? Certifications may come from anywhere -- even from the dealer's in-house mechanic. But if you're planning to buy a vehicle that is under five years old, you'll want to consider one that is officially certified pre-owned (CPO). Ask to see the inspection documents and verify that the vehicle identification number (VIN) matches that of the car you're looking at.
What Service Has Been Done on the Vehicle? The more repairs performed by the pre-owned dealership before you buy the car, the less you'll have to worry about them after. Find out the last time the engine was serviced, how old the tires are, the condition of the brakes, and other important items that should be part of any routine maintenance list.
Do You Offer Trade-Ins? Perhaps the only thing more tedious than buying a used car is trying to sell one yourself. If you can trade in your old vehicle for a discount on the new-to-you one, you'll save yourself a lot of hassle and probably find a good bargain in the deal.
Looking at used cars can produce an overwhelming amount of choices, but at the end of the day, finding a car that's the right match for you should be easy. Ask the right questions at your pre-owned dealership and you're bound to find a fit that's just right.

JW Mason had a post the other day wherein he said:
The probability approach in economics. Empirical economics focuses on estimating the parameters of a data-generating process supposed to underlie some observable phenomena; this is then used to make ceteris paribus (all else equal) predictions about what will happen if something changes. Critics object that these kinds of predictions are meaningless, that the goal should be unconditional forecasts instead (“economists failed to call the crisis”). Trygve Haavelmo’s writings on empirics from the 1940s suggest third possibile goal: unconditional predictions about the joint distribution of several variables within a particular domain.
To that end, I thought I'd look at the joint probabilities of the JOLTS data time series falling below the model estimates. First, let's look at some density plots of the deviation from the model (these are percentage points) for JOLTS hires (HIR), openings (JOR), and quits (QUR) for the data from 2004-2015 and then place the data from January 2017 to the the most recent (Dec 2017) on top of it (points):
Can we quantify this a bit more? I looked at two measures using the full 3-dimensional distribution: the probability of finding a point that is further out from the center as well as the probability that at least one of the data series has a worse negative deviation than the given point and plotted both of those measures versus the distance from zero:
The first measure doesn't account for the correlation between the different series very well, but does give a sense of how far out these points are from the center of the distribution. The second measure gives us a better indication of not only the joint probabilities but the correlation between them — even if one of the three series is far from the center, it can be mitigated by one that is closer especially if they are correlated.
While there is 19% chance that one of the hires, openings, or quits data could've come in worse than it did on Tuesday based on the data from 2004-2015, that's not all that small of a probability leaving open the possibility that the data is simply on a correlated jog away from the model. This is basically capturing the fact that most of the deviation is coming from the openings data while the other two are showing smaller deviations:

Top 10 Probiotics for Children
- In this article you will learn about: childrens probiotics, the best probiotics our market has to offer and major health benefits of probiotics
The topic of probiotics is the latest information in the news. Probiotics are friendly bacteria found in foods and dietary supplements that can help bring back the balance of good bacteria. The question arises can children take probiotics. According to Dr. Holly Lucille, Naturopathic Physician, the answer is “Absolutely, In fact the use of probiotics can be very beneficial for your children. A healthy digestive system is very important for a strong immune system in kids as well as in adults.” So what are the best sources of probiotics for children?
As parents, we scrutinize all health information for our kids. First, let’s get a medical side of probiotics for children and adults: According to the World Health Organization, they’re “live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.” This healthy bacteria is found in fermented food products such as yogurt, sour cream, sauerkraut, and buttermilk. Probiotics are also available as supplements; these formulations can be identical to the organisms that colonize the gut. The health benefits of probiotics are a natural fit to a daily regiment.
Many medical experts believe probiotics may increase the amount of beneficial bacteria in people’s intestinal tracts as well as aid digestion, boost the body’s natural defenses, and fight off harmful bacteria that can cause health problems. Experts are conducting studies to determine if probiotics can be used to prevent and treat all sorts of conditions, many of them common in kids, including asthma, colds, colic, lactose intolerance, and dental cavities. Dr. Michael Cabana, chief of general pediatrics at UCSF Children’s Hospital, says there’s an abundance of studies exploring probiotics’ potential, but relative few studies in U.S. children. In the 1990s, Dr. Cabana says, there were one or two published probiotic studies a year, while in 2005, over 350 studies were published. Always confirm with your primary medical professional if you are adding children’s probiotics to their daily regiment.
So what foods should your kids be eating to get the best probiotics? Fermented foods contain healthful bacteria: Kombucha Tea, sour cream, buttermilk, sauerkraut, pickles, and many yogurts. But generally pasteurization has eliminated the flora found in modern food. As a result, companies are fortifying foods with probiotics in an effort to re-introduce this bacteria. These companies claim their products offer a range of health benefits, but only some of the claims are based on reputable science. Also, parents should consider the full list of ingredients in these inoculated foods–for example, are they loaded with fructose syrup? The additives may counterbalance the health benefits of probiotics.
Why not give them supplements?
The best rule of thumb is to use ‘live’ bacteria. Supplements simply don’t contain enough of the good bacteria to be of the best use. According to studies reported on the consumerlab website: many of the probiotic supplements failed to pass the testing process for the benefit levels. When considering childrens probiotics, it’s best to go natural.
What about infants?
There are high quality powders that can be added to an infant’s formula. Always confer with your medical provider before adding anything to your baby’s diet.
The resulting information summary is: Give your children the fermented foods that contain the helpful bacteria. This can include:
1. acidophilus milk
2. sour cream
6. Kombucha Tea
7. some yogurts
8. yogurt drinks
10. Certain drinks that are specifically probiotic drinks.
Always confer with your pediatrician before adding anything to your child’s diet.Click here to discuss this article on forum

The following video from Austria features Irmgard Griss, an Austrian lawyer, judge, and former president of the Austrian Supreme Court. When she was elected to the National Council, Ms. Griss was supported by NEOS, a progressive pro-EU party that has vigorously championed women’s rights.
Her interlocutor is Henryk Broder, a popular writer and commentator.
Ms. Griss seems to be willing to accept a little gropin’ & rapin’ from migrants, as long as they don’t actually get arrested for theft or murder or something like that.
Who says feminists are inflexible?
Below is the accompanying article from the Kronen Zeitung, also translated by Nash:
NEOS politician wants tolerance for macho migrants
The NEOS-representative and former OGH- president Irmgard Griss has just presented a quite interesting new course concerning the topic of migration. On a talk show at Servus TV, Griss literally said: “If he (refugee/migrant) won’t recognize our values, in terms of not recognizing the equality of women… I think we can get over that.” And her answer to Henryk Broder’s objection simply was: “Yes we’ll have to live with it.”
Just one look into the Krone archives shows how determined the NEOS has been in the past fighting for the equality of women and for the strengthening and furthering of women’s rights in Austria. The party is even presenting the women’s rights speaker Claudia Gamon as a top candidate to the coming EU-elections in May.
Therefore it was all the more surprising for viewers of the talk show “Hangar 7” on Servus TV when they heard Irmgard Griss’ latest about-face: The former president of the High Court, Austria’s Supreme Court, was of the following opinion concerning deportation of risk-asylum seekers: “If he (refugee/migrant) is not a thief, if he doesn’t kill anyone, if he’s not delinquent, but if he only does not accept our values, meaning he’s against women’s equality — oh, well, we can get over that.”
Maybe not his daughter
Henryk Broder, the well known author, who was also a participant in the show, interrupted Griss: “Get over that? Maybe not his daughter!” And he made a clear gesture of his hand on his neck, implying decapitation.
[Translator’s note: Here the article does not mention that Griss’ nonchalant answer to Broder is: “Pfft, she can defend herself,” in a very disparaging tone of voice. But in the short 37-second video you can hear her say that. Don’t know why the article didn’t mention that outrageously dismissive comment.]
However, the NEOS politician didn’t let herself be sidetracked to advocate for tolerance for outdated and dangerous macho behavior among migrants. In fact she doubled down: “We have to remain grounded. Yes. We are going to have to live with that.”
Should have been president
On the internet Griss’ statements have already caused intense debates: “Irmgard Griss from the NEOS says here very unironically that we can get over it when people come to Austria who do not acknowledge our values, such as gender equality.” And the sociologist Bernhard Heinzlmaier ironically commented: “So it is clear: Irmgard Griss should absolutely have become our president. She always finds the right words. Thank you.”

When I was a teenager my grandfather died from complications related to type 2 diabetes. He was the first person close to me to pass away, so it was a hard loss for me to understand. This is when my interest in health and wellness really began.
My grandfather grew up in Macedonia at a time when type 2 diabetes wasn’t as well understood. The traditional Macedonian diet, although high in vegetables such as red peppers and tomatoes, consists heavily of starchy foods like white bread and potatoes. My grandfather had a hearty appetite and was a heavy drinker and smoker for most of his life. When my grandmother passed away, we moved my grandfather to Canada to live with us and I took care of him. My role included testing his blood sugar levels with fingerpicks daily, and I became very familiar with the up and down swings of his blood sugar levels. I also noticed he would become dizzy after consuming a beer here and there. My memories of his battle with diabetes are very vivid, and I wish I knew then what I know now about this disease. No one in my family was informed enough on how we could have helped him prevent or reduce the impact diabetes had on his body. He eventually passed away due to kidney complications as a result of his diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is a complicated disease with deep correlations to many other serious ailments. Type 2 diabetes is closely related to heart disease. And high blood pressure, which is a common symptom of heart disease, can also have an impact on how your kidneys function. It narrows your blood vessels and if the blood vessels in your kidneys are damaged, they may stop functioning properly. When this happens, the kidneys are not able to remove toxins and fluids from your body. The extra fluids in your blood vessels can then raise your blood pressure even more, creating a dangerous cycle, eventually leading to kidney failure. Which is what we believe happened to my grandfather. The best way to prevent or delay this is by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and treating your diabetes as well as reducing your risk of heart disease.
Canadians living with type 2 diabetes have a much higher risk of dying from heart disease at an earlier age, and heart disease is the number one cause of death for Canadians living with type 2 diabetes. As a holistic nutritionist, I believe that the proper diet and exercise can greatly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and ultimately experiencing issues related to your heart and/or kidneys. Specifically, I recommend maintaining a healthy body weight, getting enough physical activity, eating a diet low in trans fats, sodium and limited alcohol consumption.
These lifestyle changes can help lower your risk for heart disease or keep it from getting worse, as well as help you manage diabetes:
- Drink lots of water! Water can help manage your blood sugar level, while sugary drinks and alcohol will spike your blood sugar levels to unhealthy levels.
- Get active. Not only is it healthy to get some exercise every day but losing even a small amount of weight (if you are overweight) can have a positive impact on your cholesterol and blood sugar levels. 30 minutes of brisk walking daily is a great form of daily exercise.
- Manage stress. Stress can raise your blood pressure and lead to unhealthy behaviours, like overdrinking or overeating. If you’re experiencing stress or anxiety, try meditation, daily deep breathing, spend more time outdoors and seek support from friends, family or a therapist.
- Quit smoking!
If you have type 2 diabetes and a history of heart disease, diet and exercise may not be enough to protect your heart. Learn more about treatments that can prolong your life by visiting www.myheartmatters.ca.
