By Elly Zhilyak I’ve recently embarked on a journey to reclaim my femininity amidst a scary ascertation that I was beginning to retain the masculine qualities of my male coworkers. What does that mean exactly? And what does it have to do with feminism? Let me begin with a brief synopsis of my life. Life began for me with huge bows in my hair, amidst dolls, and kitchenettes, and ballet. It progressed into climbing trees, dressing up barbies, and playing with really cool toy cars, that my father brought from overseas (the Bugatti was my personal favorite). By the age of 6, I was outrunning all the older boys in the neighborhood. Needless to say, they were impressed. I was girly, and I was very comfortable with it. I was also very comfortable with all the “non-girly” things I did. Fast forward to the awkward pre-teen stage, when I became extraordinarily shy, then to high school when I decided to reclaim some of the bad assery that lived somewhere within, by kicking most of the shyness to the curb, hanging out with all the older kids, and donning knee high boots and long trench coats. I re-added ballet to the mix with a large serving of boys. I was a typical teenager, looking for acceptance, and mostly loving flaunting the feminine side of myself that came so naturally. Then came my twenties and all the boys and all the more of the dress up of self, since I was now more of an adult and could express myself however I pleased. I re-added the running to the mix, nixed the ballet and dancing, and added going to the club(s) with my girlfriends/boyfriend. Still “voiceless”. Whilst chasing all the boys in my twenties, I was all girl, ready to be saved by some Prince Charming. Independent, but still conflicted most of the time. Having a somewhat naturally shy disposition, or at least up-bringing, I think it was easy for me to lose my voice. The little girl that outran all the boys when she was 6, dress and all, was lost all tangled up in the dress. She was Cinderella at the ball with some asshole prince. Somehow she forgot how to run and climb. She must have left her Chucks at home. Then came CrossFit that gave the girl back some strength and a lot more confidence, followed by belly dancing. Although a complete 180 of each other, the two created an appropriately perfect balance. Soon after, came a job, which was not unlike any other, except for the fact that I was now surrounded by men – a loosely used term here. Ten of them, ten of whom I had to manage, whose respect I had to evoke, and whose schedules I controlled day in and day out. My “sweet” disposition and sometimes quick temper won the respect of most, immediately. Unnaturally and unknowingly, I started to change. I wore more pants, less make up, less jewelry. I eventually became just as perversely funny, and even more smart assy than before. And on to the time that is now: with much less boys, more CrossFit, dabs of yoga, more strength, and a job where I manage now 11 men, and don a way less girlier version of myself, at the same time, however a somewhat less womanly version also. By overly compensating to make myself heard and respected, by molding myself into someone still less than my true self, I somehow found myself losing my femininity. Voiceless still. I became more aggressive, less girly, more womanly, somewhat, I did just turn 30, and all the more confused. Who was I? A girl, a woman? A manager? Was I one of the guys? Was I feminine at all? Could I be feminine, surrounded by only men? How did femininity, strong femininity tie into the grand scheme of things, where men are still considered the strongest, and most of my friends are obsessed with the color scheme of their house and having babies? What I figured out, was that I have been searching for the “strong feminine” voice all along. Something that’s always been there, ready to surface, like the smell of the scratch and sniff sticker. (Insert smiley face here). I realized that I missed the dresses and the jewelry and the make up. That by being one of the guys, I had also given up on being true to myself. I didn’t have to lift the boxes myself, just because I could, I got to ask for help, when needed. I didn’t need to prove my strength and I didn’t have to sacrifice to blend in, by dressing in a manlier way. I didn’t have to quit wearing make up. I get to embrace being a woman, with a strong voice, and individuality within the scope of men. Come full circle, that is what feminism is becoming to mean for me. Being a woman, and embracing feminine genes, things I surely like, mostly because of the lack of the Y chromosome. I get to embrace things men like, and are not typical of women to like, because I, as a person, like or enjoy. I get to embrace strength, I get to embrace a more athletic build, I get to be stronger than some men and some women, not by some feministic ideal, but because I’ve put in the work and because that is the skin I feel most comfortable in. I get to pursue a career in a field that lacks women. I get to inspire younger kids. I get to inspire younger girls. But I don’t get to tell the girls that they have to pick to either be one of the guys just so that they can fit in, or get behind a kitchen stove, because you can only have one or the other. I get to tell them, that they can choose both, maybe not always at the same time, but they can. They can be as girly as they like and pursue the careers of the manliest of men. Or if they so choose, they can choose to get married and have babies, or they can have a career and then have a baby or vice versa. Or they can be one of the guys. They can drink beer, and burp and fart, and make the burliest of men blush with their dirty jokes if they so wish, and then they get to put on a dresses and go out to the nines. They get to be strong females with loud voices. Voices that roar and purr. They get to wear bright yellow hats and sneakers. They get to love kittens and sports cars. They get to climb ropes and rip the skin on their hands and put on make up. They get to love babies and choose to not have any. My feminism doesn’t rear an ugly head, and scream that you must pick black over pink just to prove a point. You shouldn’t quit shaving your legs and armpits to do so either. My feminism commands that you can pick whatever damn color you like, and if you must, then go ahead and stop shaving, but not because “that’s what feminists do”. Do it because YOU like to do it, not because someone else tells you, you should(nt). I want to embark on adventures and jobs men embark on, because those things excite me, but I want to retain my femininity. I want to speak loud and I want the human population to listen, not just men or just women. I want respect. I don’t want to be limited to something and be put in a box. I get to be a ballerina, and then I get to jump out of an airplane to sky dive, or ride out on a motorcycle. I get to be batman in pink if I want. That is my feminism. She is fierce and loyal and loving and brave, all in one. Elly Zhilyak is a dancing panda. Lover of sunsets, beaches, waves, a good cup of joe, pie and laughter. Fanatic of the Universe, health and fitness. Seeker of knowledge. Yoga student and Crossfit athlete. Love to pour her heart out, and help to inspire people. Trying to make the world a better place.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and while that’s no doubt made up by the Breakfast Marketing Board, it doesn’t hurt to kick your day off with a hearty feast.

Bold Street Coffee is one of the best, with, as you’d expect, a strong range of heavily-caffeinated coffee blends, but a superb selection of breakfast dishes. Our favourite has to be the Bold Street Bad Buoy – brioche bun, sausage patty, fried egg, cheese, avocado, hollandaise. Breakfast of champions. Baltic Bakehouse, 46 Bridgewater Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 0AY - Visit now Baltic Bakehouse is a must for lovers of baked goods. Famed for their fantastic homemade sourdough bread (try the toast), you should branch out and try the vanilla and praline cruffins.

Add a Bloody Mary for the perfect start to the day.

Bungalow Home and Garden Expanding to Powell and New Albany Bungalow Home and Garden opened a year ago in the Short North (originally known as “Inside”) and they’re already expanding. Store owners Julie Butler and Paige Langdale are opening a second location this month in Powell, with a location in New Albany following in December. We recently spoke with Paige to find out more about these two new locations and what is in store for their grand openings. Q: For those unfamiliar, can you tell us a little about your background and the origin of Bungalow? A: Julie and I have been friends for many years. We have had a passion for design and a love of beautiful spaces. We have both owned businesses in the past and always talked about opening a store together. The timing came together late last year with the opening of the Short North store at 940 North High Street. Here we are a year later, opening two more locations – Powell next week and New Albany in mid-December – and an online launch early next year. Q: I take it that means the Short North location has been doing pretty well? A: Our business plan from the beginning was to have three locations and an online presence. We didn’t expect it to happen this fast, but the opportunity arose and we couldn’t pass it by. Our style has been so well received by our Short North following that we wanted to expand to the suburbs. Q: What will be different at the new Powell and New Albany locations, and what can customers expect to find that might be familiar? A: Bungalow is about providing customers with unique, one-of-a-kind home furnishings combined in unexpected ways. So, naturally, our individual stores represent this aesthetic as well. The Powell, Short North and New Albany stores are all in unique buildings. The Short North Location is in a former filling and auto service station, Powell is in a former church built in the early 1800s, and The New Albany Bungalow will reside in an old corn mill that we have dubbed “Bungalow at the Mill.” The Powell store is two times larger than the Short North store and The Mill is tree times larger, so we plan to have larger pieces of upholstered furniture and case goods at the new locations. All Bungalow stores will continue to offer items for the home, textiles, lighting, home decor and furniture including one of my favorite upholstery lines, Verellen. It is a Belgian-inspired furniture line built in High Point, North Carolina, using the most beautiful organic linens and features details on each piece that I have never seen anywhere else in the market. Each location will be special in its own way, so plan to visit all of them. Q: Who would you say is the target audience for Bungalow and what type of style would you describe for the overall concept at the store? A: Our target audience is anyone who wants to live with beautiful things. Bungalow is priced extremely reasonably. We believe everyone can take home an item or two that will enhance what they already own. We call the Bungalow Style “Rustic Contemporary.” We also love finding old items and pairing them with newer pieces to get this look. To date, we have helped everyone from the college grad buying her first sofa to furnishing an entire 12,000 square foot home. The design side of our business has been the most unexpected success. People walk into the store and say “can you make my home look like this?” Of course we can! We call it “getting Bungalow’d”. Q: Do you have future expansion plans beyond the three stores? A: Our long term plans could involve going coastal and opening a location on the west coast as well as the east coast. But for now, we are focusing on Ohio and our future online store. Q: Last but not least, can you tell us a bit about the official grand opening next week in Powell? A: The grand opening in Powell takes place on Thursday, November 17th from 5pm to 9pm. The address is 50 West Powell Road. We are offering a 10% discount all night to celebrate! Our hours will be Tuesday through Saturday 10am to 5pm.

PWYP Norway has commented the new GRI-report (Global Reporting Initiative) on tax and payments to governments. GRI is an independent international orgniasation which has taken a lead on sustainability reporting since 1997. GRI stands for Global Reporting Initiative. GRI says about itself that «helps businesses, governments and other organizations understand and communicate the impact of business on critical sustainability issues such as climate change, human rights, corruption and many others". And "The standards enable organizations to measure and understand their most critical impacts on the environment, society and the economy". GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards is developed with input from several actors and anchored in the public interest.» The GRI writes that in "In 2017, the Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB) initiated a project to develop new disclosures related to tax and payments to governments, which will be considered for incorporation into the GRI Standards.». The GSBB is an independent standard etting part of the GRI. The GRI writes further that "The aim of this work is to help promote greater transparency on a reporting organization’s approach to taxes. Making tax data more widely accessible will help build stakeholder trust and contribute to better-informed policy and investment decisions. To this end, a multi-stakeholder Technical Committee of experts appointed by the GSSB began its work in January 2018 to develop disclosures on tax and payments to governments."The draft GRI Standard Tax and Payments to Governments is the outcome of the TC’s work over this past year, and is now available for public review and comments". Read: GRI’s «Disclosure on Tax and Payments to Governments». Here is a brief summary of PWYP Norway's comments: - All units that are fully consolidated should be named (Line 426 in the draft standard) - All entities named should identify whether they are consolidated using full consolidation or one line consolidation (equity method) - Number of employees must be standardized on FTE or provide both FTE and total (Line 444 in the draft standard) - It should not be possible to adjust up or down the number of employees (lines 448-449 in the draft standard). The figures listed in the consolidated accounts must be used without exception. - Instead of "Corporate tax paid cash-based" (Line 474 in the draft standard) reported in CBC reporting of taxes, PWYP Norway has proposed that Corporate tax on profit for the year, Taxable 1.1. (beginning year) and tax liability 31.12. (end year) as the following equation results in Corporate tax paid in cash: Corporate tax on profit for the year + Tax liability 1.1. - Tax liability 31.12 = Corporate tax paid in cash. - Instead of "Significant Tax Incentives" (Line 478 in the draft standard), PWYP Norway has proposed that a more accurate measure be included in the standard: g. Tax incentives that changed the decision to invest. This would mean that if companies did not report the tax incentive, then the tax effort was unnecessary. If tax incentives are reported, it can be assessed against other companies reporting tax incentives, and over time, a picture can be taken of which tax incentives are important to companies, and which tax incentives are not important, and which companies are important to taxation. - In the country-to-country standard (Line 465-478), PWYP Norway has commented that Norwegian regulations in the Accounting Act are the earliest and which reporters and users have gained the most experience. - The measures htat PWYP Norway has suggested that the GRI standards includes on the basis of hte Norwegian regulationss, are: - Production (by type) - Cost (exluding depreciation) PWYP Norway has also commented that it is critical that eliminations are reported separately, otherwise the countries do not support reporting. Will all submissions be published? GSSBs protocol requires received submissions to be public. The GRI is still collecting submissions and have not yet set adate for submissions online. The public consultation endskommentarperioden 15th March 2019. More information and project updates can be found on the GRI's project site.

Looking for engine oil for your vehicle? NAPA Auto Parts offers the widest selection of quality motor oils! The primary use of motor oil is to ensure the constant lubrication of moving parts inside your engine. It limits friction between these parts, reducing heat production (loss of performance), and reducing premature wear of engine components. One of the important elements to consider when buying motor oil is the viscosity index. You should see two sets of numbers on the oil can (example: 5W30, 15W40, 10W40, etc.). The first number always indicates the cold viscosity (the W meaning winter), and the second number is the hot viscosity. The standards indicated will help you determine whether an oil is suited to your engine (gasoline, diesel), the oil’s level of performance, as well as whether or not the oil meets the recommendations of your car manufacturer. Check your car’s service manual to ensure that the chosen oil matches the one suggested by the manufacturer. NAPA offers a complete range of motor oils for all applications and vehicles. From conventional to synthetic oils, you can find the oil matching your vehicle’s specifications. Doing frequent starts and stops or you want to ensure smooth starts during our cold winters? You can count on our synthetic oils to do the job. Don’t forget to use a new oil filter on every oil change to maximize protection of your engine. If you use synthetic oil to extend your oil change interval, you should consider a high quality oil filter. NAPA stocks a wide range of motor oils and the brands you also trust: Valvoline, Shell, Pennzoil, Mobil 1, Quaker state and Castrol. We cover all vehicles on the market. Have a European car? We stock oils that meet European cars or VW requirements like Liqui Moly or Royal Purple. If you need information about your vehicle or need more details about a specific oil or lubricant for your auto, you can chat with an expert at your local NAPA Auto parts store.

Why You Should Spay and Neuter Your Pets The spay and neuter procedures can be good for pets and good for the community. Spaying and neutering pets is a good way to control the issue of pet overpopulation. Many pets are euthanized every year due to overpopulation, because there are not enough homes available to adopt every unowned pet that ends up in a shelter. Spaying and neutering keeps dog and cat populations under control, and helps to spare many pets from euthanasia as a result. There are also a number of benefits for your pet if you choose to spay or neuter them. Studies have shown that pets can live longer, healthier lives after the procedure. Benefits of Spaying Female Pets: - Decreased risk of reproductive and breast cancers - Females won’t menstruate or go into heat - Eliminates anxiety during heat cycles Benefits of Neutering Male Pets: - Contributes to more docile, peaceful behavior - Decreases chance of testicular cancer & prostate issues - Reduces “territory marking” behaviors - Less likely to run away from home The Spay and Neuter Procedures Spaying and neutering are part of the routine surgical procedures we perform on pets in the Edmonton area. Our compassionate staff understands that surgery can be stressful for pets and their owners, so we take the time to fully describe the procedure ahead of time. We also take every precaution to ensure that the surgery and healing process are as stress-free as possible. When a female dog or cat is spayed, the ovaries and uterus are removed. This process eliminates the reproductive issues that can complicate the lives of female pets. When a male dog or cat is neutered, the testicles are removed. This eliminates many of the aggressive or hyperactive behaviors that male pets tend to exhibit. Spay and Neuter Aftercare Spaying and neutering are outpatient procedures, meaning that in the vast majority of cases, the pets are able to go home with their owners the same day. Pet owners are encouraged to check the pet’s stitches daily to ensure that they are still in place and the incision is healing. Owners should also try to keep the pet relaxed and inactive for about 10 days, until the pet is fully healed. If it’s time to spay or neuter your pet, contact Oxford Animal Hospital today to schedule an appointment.

What is thermal pulsation? Thermal pulsation (LipiFlow) consists of the localised application of heat and therapeutic pressure on the four eyelids (upper and lower) with the aim of improving drainage of the Meibomian glands. These glands are responsible for providing the tears with oil to prevent evaporation and ensure good quality. In which cases is it used? LipiFlow is used to treat Meibomian gland dysfunction, related to blepharitis (inflammation) of the lower eyelids and ocular dryness. It is, in fact, the most common cause of dry eye, which is estimated to affect about 85% of patients with this disorder. It usually affects elderly people, patients with hormonal disorders (adolescence and menopause), contact lens wearers due to overuse or those who have undergone skin disease treatment or chemotherapy. Full optometric and ophthalmic examination, in addition to complementary tests that the specialist may request. This is the case, for example, of meibography, in which an anatomical image of the Meibomian glands is taken to determine correct functioning, specify diagnosis and enable subsequent assessment of the effectiveness of treatment. The application of thermal pulsation takes 12 minutes and is performed in the consulting room under topical anaesthesia (drops) to prevent any possible discomfort for the patient. The LipiFlow system consists of a monitor that shows the parameters of the treatment and a sterile single-use piece that is placed over the eye, which is designed to protect the cornea and is equipped with multiple sensors that enable the temperature and pressure supplied to be controlled. This piece provides heat (42.5°C) to the inside and outside of the eyelids, and massages from its outer side to release Meibomian gland obstructions and enable the secretion of the oil necessary to maintain tear quality. The treatment makes it possible to recover the stability of the tear film and reduce its evaporation, inflammation and damage to the ocular surface, thereby improving the patient’s symptoms. It has proven to be more effective than the conventional application of hot swabs to the eyes to take care of eyelid hygiene, although they are not exclusive. It is also necessary to perform daily maintenance at home (see tips (new)) between sessions, usually repeated at 9 or 12 months, depending on the severity of the process.

Commercial Cleaning Equipment What is Commercial Stress Laundering? Business stress washers, unlike everyday power washing, makes use of a specifically formulated mix of water, detergent as well as a high-pressure spray to tidy walkways as well as buildings. A lot of commercial pressure washing machines are big containers that house high-pressure water jets, which are made up of a revolving supply of water, an inlet system, a nozzle assembly, and also a high-pressure spray head. The jet heads of commercial stress washing machines have the capability to spray approximately five gallons of water per min, with the most effective jet available at 5 gallons per min. While they are extremely powerful, these jets can also threaten if used incorrectly or in exceptionally warm or cool temperatures. Commercial cleansing tools is available to deal with nearly any type of cleansing job, from industrial cleaning to residential cleanups. However, lots of commercial cleansing firms make use of industrial pressure cleansing equipment due to the fact that it is the only tools that can handle the high stress that originate from cleaning pathways as well as buildings, together with other business jobs. Industrial cleansing equipment includes huge commercial sized containers, which are built to include a high sufficient quantity of water to be able to get to very high stress, as well as include a system of shutoffs to manage the stress and also the spray stress. Business cleansing devices usually features a big pipe that has three different functioning components, each working together to supply the most effective results. There is a hose pipe link that links to a tube link, a primary valve assembly that links to the main container, and a spray head. Hoses and also link assemblies are frequently created to deal with different sorts of power sources and different types of washing machine jets. These elements may additionally be developed to have the ability to transform the stress and also spray pressure depending upon the type of product being cleaned. A business pressure washing machine likewise includes a range of devices. Many business pressure cleaning equipments include a water storage tank, pipe links, as well as water tank drainpipe to help prevent blocking or leakages. Some business washing machine versions consist of a washing machine container to prevent blocking in the future. Others consist of a pump to increase the rate of the water jet to help with cleaning smaller tasks. Commercial pressure washing machines have the capability to effectively dry a range of materials including timber floorings, steel, concrete, paper, rubber as well as numerous other products. Numerous business pressure washers additionally consist of a system to spray water down the floor to minimize the danger of wetness collecting, which can trigger decomposing as well as various other issues. Business washing machines are useful in cleaning up all sort of jobs, consisting of roadway building and construction, janitorial, asphalt paving, pathway cleaning, asphalt roofs, and also lots of others. Industrial cleaning equipment can be bought by contacting your neighborhood commercial cleansing firm or by checking out the producer’s website.

Democracies must recognize that we are in a geopolitical battle over the governance model that will dominate in the 21st century digital context, argues Eileen Donahoe (right), Executive Director of Stanford’s Global Digital Policy Incubator and a National Endowment for Democracy (NED) board member. Now is the time to rally the world around a democratic vision of digital society. https://t.co/J6Wq6xLe44 — Democracy Digest (@demdigest) January 20, 2021 In a 51-minute video (above) posted on YouTube last month, the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny described in chilling detail how a secret service hit squad had poisoned him with the novichok nerve agent. He even telephoned one of them later and tricked him into describing how he smeared novichok on Navalny’s underpants, the subject of another video, the FT’s John Thornhill reports: This extraordinary exposé was aided by Bellingcat, an open-source investigative agency founded by Eliot Higgins, a British researcher and citizen journalist. Using airline passenger manifests, telephone records, geolocation data and personnel files, all circulating on the darker recesses of the Russian internet, Bellingcat was able to piece together the plot to poison Navalny. Not only does Higgins antagonise the autocrats, he also takes aim at those who only bewail the downsides of the internet. “At Bellingcat, we do not accept this cyber-miserabilism,” he writes in We Are Bellingcat: An Intelligence Agency for the People. “The marvels of the internet can still have an impact for the better.” Strong U.S. leadership is needed to develop a compelling democratic conception of digitized society and to rebuild the democratic alliance around a shared strategic technology agenda. To achieve these aims, the incoming administration should focus on five practical priorities, Stanford’s Donahoe writes: - First, we must “get our own house in order” by ensuring that U.S. digital technology policy is consistent with human rights and democratic values. The level of attention to the normative dimensions of technology policy, as well as to investment in emerging technology, must adequately reflect its strategic importance to our security. - Second, the digital policy rift with our transatlantic partners must be healed: without U.S.-EU alignment, other democratic partners will lose confidence that a democratic model for digital society is a realistic goal. - Third, the democratic alliance must be rallied around a shared model for democratic governance of digital society and a strategic technology agenda. This democratic model must incorporate institutional constraints on both public and private sector use of data. It also will require further articulation of how government and technology companies apply and adhere to international human rights law and norms in the digital context. - Fourth, we must compete with the digital authoritarian model of governance and develop a comprehensive strategy to combat it. Robust diplomacy in the international normative arena will be essential, both with respect to technical standards and protocols, and with respect to norms on use of data and technology. - Fifth, the U.S. must reclaim the internet for citizens and humanity by investing in innovation and entrepreneurship in regions that have not been included in the digital revolution, both domestically and internationally. Investment in “E-Government” capacities to provide secure and efficient public services should be uncontroversial, as should investments in digital security tools for citizens, consumers and civil society actors….. As director of the Citizen Lab at the Munk School at the University of Toronto, Deibert explains how civil society can mobilise to loosen the state and corporate grip over the internet. Citizen Lab, which researches the intersection between technology and human rights, and many other civil institutions like it, can act as “counter-intelligence for global society”, he claims. However, both writers make clear that there will be no quick and simple solutions to the multiple challenges of the internet era. It will take a painstaking struggle over many years and across many domains to reclaim the internet for the people. The problem, of course, lies in internet governance – namely, the absence of rules, says Stephen S. Roach, a faculty member at Yale University, former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, and the author of Unbalanced: The Codependency of America and China. Even as we extol the virtues of the digital world, to say nothing of the acceleration of digitization during the COVID-19 pandemic, the dark side has become impossible to ignore, he writes for Project Syndicate. The Western model of open-ended connectivity has given rise to platforms for trade in illicit drugs, pornography, and pedophilia. It has also fueled political extremism, social polarization, and now attempted insurrection. The virtues of cyber-libertarianism have become inseparable from its vices. RTWT The manipulation of public opinion over social media remains a critical threat to democracy, according to a new report by the Oxford Internet Institute. Its 2020 report highlights the recent trends of computational propaganda across 81 countries and the evolving tools, capacities, strategies, and resources used to manipulate public opinion around the globe. It identifies three key trends in this year’s inventory of disinformation activity: - Cyber troop activity continues to increase around the world. This year, we found evidence of 81 countries using social media to spread computational propaganda and disinformation about politics. This has increased from last years’ report, in which we identified 70 countries with cyber troop activity. - Over the last year, social media firms have taken important steps to combat the misuse of their platforms by cyber troops. Public announcements by Facebook and Twitter between January 2019 and December 2020 reveal that more than 317,000 accounts and pages have been removed by the platforms. Nonetheless, almost US $10 million has still been spent on political advertisements by cyber troops operating around the world. - Private firms increasingly provide manipulation campaigns. Over the last year, we found forty- eight instances of private companies deploying computational propaganda on behalf of a political actor. Since 2018 there have been more than 65 firms offering computational propaganda as a service. In total, we have found almost US $60 million was spent on hiring these firms since 2009. — GLOBSEC (@GLOBSEC) January 20, 2021

The Magic of Disney Animation at Hollywood Studios - Orlando / Florida Guide Florida Guide > Hollywood Studios One of our favourite places to visit when we are at Hollywood studios is the Magic of Disney Animation. Not an exhilarating ride or fabulous show but a nice quite hour to cool down and recharge. The kids will love it and you can leave with a very personal souvenir. Perhaps the best time to go is just after the 3 0’clock parade, unless you’ve been lucky you will have been standing in the sun for a while so a nice cool down is just about right. Inside the theatre you are faced by the stage resembling an animator’s studio, you can really sit anywhere in the theatre, we’ve been several times and never has it been full. Introduced by a Disney illustrator you are shown how the film process is completed, using Mushu the dragon from Mulan as an extremely willing and lively accomplice. This light hearted look at how Mushu was created lasts for about 20 minutes then you move through displays of animation to a hall which will have some of the Disney characters situated for autographs and photos. I’m sure the characters change so no guarantees but Mr & Mrs Incredible and Mr Frozone are known to hang out here. While we were there last Mickey in sorcerers apprentice get up also made an appearance. But the best part is the area for you and your party to become budding illustrators, to the corner on the first level you will see a small waiting area with double doors leading to a small studio. Again a Disney illustrator awaits your arrival, take your place on one of the desks with paper and pencil attached. The room only contains 20 or so desks but they have a few seats at the front with boards you can put on your lap. Under the illustrator’s careful tutelage you will replicate the chosen Disney Character using simple variations on circles. Now unless you are rather adept at drawing you will not be head hunted onto the next animation feature team, but your creation will have some resemblance to the character. Kids will love it because they have created something Disneyfied and parents will love it because they have spent most of the last hour in quite air conditioned environment. Don’t forget to collect an elastic band and bag from the shop as you come out as you don’t want to ruin your masterpiece during the rest of your day at Hollywood.

This is a good way. It is a way of knowing and understanding them”. Trump said that nuclear disarmament of the Korean Peninsula was a long process. He added, ‘I think this will be a process. I have never said that it will be in a meeting. But relationships are becoming and this is a positive thing. ‘ The US President expressed confidence that the people of North Korea also want to achieve this goal. He said, ‘I think they want it and they want other things along with it too. They want to develop as a country. It’s going to be. I have no doubt in this. The US president confirmed that the summit will take place on June 12 in Singapore. He said, ‘This will be a beginning. I have never said that it will be in a meeting. You are talking about years of hatred, problems and hate with many different countries, but I think you will get positive results in the end. ‘ In response to a question, Trump said that he never canceled the meeting, his letter was responding to the statements coming from the Korean leader.

Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga: 10th Anniversary Reissue (LP + Bonus 12" + Download Card) Remastered by Howie Weinberg, the 10th anniversary 2-LP edition of Spoon’s Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga features the studio album on one LP and the 12-track Get Nice! EP—long out of print and previously only released on CD—on the other. Both are pressed on 180-gram vinyl packaged in a gatefold jacket with updated art. With a history of stellar records, Spoon has topped themselves with Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, a thrilling album recorded throughout 2006 in Austin by the band and Mike McCarthy (except “The Underdog,” recorded in Los Angeles with Jon Brion.) Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga starts with “Don’t Make Me a Target” a song that builds on Spoon’s familiar minimal rhythmic piano/guitar vamp popularized on earlier hits like “Small Stakes” or “The Way We Get By.” The album quickly moves into uncharted territory with the atmospheric “The Ghost of You Lingers” and moves through several different stylistic changes from the explosive (no pun intended) “You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb” to the wall-of-sound horns of radio single “The Underdog.” The Britt Daniel originals on Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga comprise his most heartfelt batch of songs since 2001’s Girls Can Tell. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is comprised of ten songs (see Loaded, Seventeen Seconds, Back In Black, The Queen Is Dead, The Charm of the Highway Strip, Nebraska, Nashville Skyline, Heroes, Unknown Pleasures, Sticky Fingers, etc.). We’ve got it on good authority that 36 minutes is the ideal album length. Don’t Make Me A Target The Ghost of You Lingers You Got Yr.

Mr. S.Y. Tsui J.P. Director of Marine The Dynamic Port of Hong Kong 1. It is a proud privilege for me, a marine engineer by profession to be addressing a seminar organized by Nautical Institute; Hong Kong branch. Fortunately the seminar is not on nautical subjects but is about the Port of Hong Kong which is very near and dear to my heart and very much concerned with my job. 2. I see that the Nautical Institute has chosen eminent speakers who are experts in their own field, namely history of the port, economy, container port, safety of mega passenger ships, shipmanagement, etc. and this seminar should be very interesting and very absorbing for you all. Hong Kong's history traces back to 1841 when the British occupied Hong Kong Island. It was only a barren island off the Southeast coast of China. Do you know why the British chose Hong Kong not Macau or any other place around this region? Because it was a natural harbour. The water inside Victoria Harbour and the channels leading into Victoria Harbour were deep and it provided an excellent shelter from the typhoons sweeping across the South China Seas. 3. The success story of Hong Kong is well known. Devoid of natural resources, shattered in 1941 by war, inundated since then by successive waves of refugees, Hong Kong has survived all. Propelled by the work ethic and industry of its inhabitants, and the skill and flexibility of its entrepreneurs, given by its Government social and financial stability, it has thrust itself into the very front ranks of commercial and trading centres. The boost to the port of Hong Kong came in the mid-1970s when China opened its door to foreign trade. It was natural for the world to route the trade through Hong Kong port as it has the infrastructure and was user-friendly. Hong Kong was and still is a free port. Trade can pass through Hong Kong with least amount of formalities. We would like to keep it that way. 4. The first container terminal was developed in 1972. Since then we have added 7 more terminals and one is under construction. Hong Kong has been No. 1 container port since 1992 except for 1998 when Singapore handled more containers than Hong Kong. I am sure with dynamic container operators here, we should be able to retain our position in the near future. Mr. Christensen will elaborate on this subject later. 5. Hong Kong is one of the busiest ports in this part of the world. Last year the movement of ocean-going vessels, i.e. arrival and departure amounted to 74,830 which means that an ocean-going ship was either leaving or arriving into Hong Kong every 7 minutes. In addition, the movement of river trade vessels amounted to 358,470. This is inclusive of 119,690 voyages made by Hi-Speed Craft between Hong Kong and Pearl River delta ports carrying a total of 17.08 million passengers. 6. The present VTS System we have was set up in 1989. With the recent technological advancements and necessity to effectively manage the mixed traffic of ocean-going ships, river trade vessels from China and the local vessels, we decided to upgrade our VTS System. The new VTS System will come into operation early next year. The system will provide the latest technology such as AIS (Automatic Identification System), ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), CCTVs (Close Circuit Televisions) etc. We hope to improve our services to meet the future traffic needs. 7.You may ask me as to how safe is our port? I can assure you that it is very safe. In 1998 we had only 10 serious or very serious incidents, in 1999 it was 11 and in 2000, there was only one incident. There was no serious or very serious incident in the first half of this year. It is a challenge for us to keep the port safe with so much traffic. In addition to the VTS System, we have Harbour Patrol Service to monitor and regulate the traffic in the busy areas and black spots. 8. What is the future of this port? Well! I will leave it to the speakers to talk about it. As far as I am concerned, it will continue to be bright and all those connected with the maritime field will have a role to play in the prosperity of Port of Hong Kong. Hi-tech is being used in almost all the industries including shipping. Most of the ships these days have satellite navigation receivers and ARPA. New ships are required to have on board Automatic Identification Systems and many ships are being fitted with electronic charts. IMO is working towards computer based training for seafarers. We in Hong Kong are looking into the technology available to develop the e-navigation capabilities for ships visiting Hong Kong. 9. I see the students from the Polytechnic University and Tsing Yi Marine Institute have been invited by the Nautical Institute to listen to the great speakers today. They are the future of this port. They have a great role to play. I hope more and more youngsters will take up the seafaring and maritime related career to be a part of this prosperous and wonderful Port of Hong Kong.

A plumbing repair is never wanted and can end up being expensive, but it’s crucial to make sure all plumbing leaks are repaired immediately. Some homeowners in West Chester might think, “Oh, it’s just a little water spot, it’s no big deal.” But honestly water damage that is visual is usually just the tip of the iceberg. The pipes for your plumbing system run behind your walls so any leaks, or more serious, a complete pipe burst, can moisten the drywall or destroy it altogether. If you see any wet spots or feel there’s a leak, call Wesley Wood Service Experts right away to analyze the situation and we can provide your plumbing repair to avoid any further damage. Although you may think of plumbing issues as being only in your drains and pipes, leaks and water quality problems may actually ruin your fixtures, including faucets and showerheads. A deteriorated gasket could become stuck in the plumbing pipes or decrease your water pressure. If not repaired quickly and correctly, you might end up needing to invest in a new fixture, which could cost between $150 and $550 or more. Similar to the walls, a plumbing issue can also cause destruction to your floors. Gravity pulls water to run downhill which can create leaks under your floors. Contorted and discolored floorboards and detached tiles are evidence that you may need a plumbing repair. The earlier you call an expert plumber, the better chance you have of not having to repair all the flooring, so call Wesley Wood Service Experts as soon as you see any indications of damage. Under particular circumstances, moisture in the walls and floors can result in mold growth, so if you see any marks that you may need plumbing repair, call right away because you may need someone else besides a plumbing expert – you may also require the service of a mold remediation company to remove mold and segments of your wall or floors. Mold can induce serious health issues so don’t wait around with a moisture issue. Cost of Wasting Water In addition to the harm leaks can cause in your home, it will also end up raising your water bill. Leaks are exactly what they sound like – leaking water – so they increase your water usage and may cause a large bill. If your water bill is costing more than usual, go ahead and call your West Chester Wesley Wood Service Experts in case you require a plumbing repair. Don’t disregard leaks expecting they will go away; they don’t repair themselves. Even something that seems like a minor plumbing repair issue can turn into a major problem if not resolved right away. Call Wesley Wood Service Experts today for emergency plumbing repair or annual plumbing maintenance.

After declining for nearly 20 years, the number of women using long-acting reversible forms of contraception (LARCs), like the IUD and the hormonal implant, has increased nearly five-fold over the last decade, according to a report released Tuesday from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics. Women ages 25-34 and those who have already had a child use long-term contraception the most, but younger women ages 15-24 are starting to use them at an increasingly growing rate. LARCs are as effective as sterilization, require minimal care after they’re put in, and have no long-term fertility effects, making them a favorite of gynecologists around the world. “I seriously didn’t think that would be happening during my professional career,” said Dr. Eve Espey, leader of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) LARC working group. But while the improvements highlighted in the CDC report are impressive, still only about one in 10 women who uses birth control chooses long-acting contraception. If IUDs and implants are so effective, why aren’t more women catching on? 1. They don’t know what they are According to Espey, a major reason why they aren’t more popular comes down to awareness. Until recently, these contraceptives hadn’t been well marketed — and many women just don’t know what their options are. Long acting reversible contraception comes in three forms. The first is a non-hormonal, copper intrauterine device (IUD), commercially known as the ParaGard, which sits in the uterus and creates an environment that is toxic for sperm for up to 10 years. The second, a hormonal IUD commercially known as Mirena or Skyla, releases a small amount of progestin into the uterus, thinning the lining to prevent implantation and thickening cervical mucus to prevent the sperm from getting in. These are FDA approved for three to five years, although new research suggests they may work even longer. Finally, the hormonal subdermal implant, known as Implanon or Nexplanon, is a matchstick-sized rod that is inserted under the skin in the upper arm and releases progestin into the bloodstream, with an effect similar to the hormonal IUD. These are FDA approved for three years. 2. Their moms tell them IUDs can make them infertile The fear of infertility is a common held misconception about IUDs, rooted in a controversy from the 1970s over an early IUD, the Dalkon Shield. The Dalkon Shield had a different tail string that appeared to “wick” bacteria up into the uterus, causing pelvic infections that could lead to infertility. After a major class-action lawsuit, it went off the market, and the negative press brought down all other IUDs with it. But according to Dr. Espey, infertility fears are unfounded. “There’s really this accumulating body of evidence that they’re safe and effective and they don’t cause pelvic infection and they don’t cause ectopic pregnancy.” Since the 1980s, the design has been improved and repeated studies have found that infertility is no more likely after using an IUD or hormonal implant. In fact, for most women, baseline fertility returns rapidly after removal. 3. They’re afraid of side effects As with any medical treatment, long-acting contraceptives do have side effects which vary by device, mainly in terms of bleeding patterns. But overall, these side effects are minimal. The copper IUD can cause heavier bleeding in some women. The hormonal IUD and implant, on the other hand, can cause irregular bleeding patterns at first, but eventually lead to lighter or non-existent periods, which can be a huge benefit for women with a history of heavy bleeding. Compared to short-acting forms of birth control — like condoms, the pill and the patch — LARCs have lower discontinuation rates, meaning women are less likely to stop using them. “They have a very high patient satisfaction rate,” says Espey. 4. They hear IUDs can’t be inserted in a woman who hasn’t had a baby There’s some concern among both women and providers that putting in an IUD, which must be inserted through a woman’s cervix, isn’t recommended for adolescents who haven’t had a baby. “I was afraid it would hurt,” said Rachel Witt, 25, who used birth control pills for seven years before getting an IUD. “Getting it put in was a little uncomfortable, but I haven’t had any problems since.” According to The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, there’s very little evidence that IUDs are technically more difficult to insert in nulliparous women. In fact, they recommend LARCs as first-line birth control for most women, including teenagers. 5. They worry about cost Many women have heard that IUDs and implants are expensive, but they are incredibly cost-effective. Unlike the pill and the patch, which require regular monthly co-pays, LARCs cost virtually nothing after the initial insertion. It is true that this upfront cost can be quite hefty — up to $1,000 for the IUD itself and up to $800 for the hormonal implant, not including insertion charges. Fortunately, more and more insurance plans are starting to offer coverage, including plans under the Affordable Care Act. “Ultimately it’s the woman who should decide what she wants, but there are very few who aren’t good candidates,” says Espey. “If I had a daughter, I’d say ‘you need an IUD.'”

This week we are hearing from a research-practice collaboration between the American Institutes for Research (AIR, @Education_AIR) and the UTeach (@uteachinstitute) program to prepare STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) teachers. Today’s post is part one of a two-part series discussing AIR’s study of the impacts of UTeach STEM teacher preparation programs in Texas funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). Stay tuned: Thursday we will share part two. This post is by Melissa Dodson, Principal Researcher at the American Institutes for Research. Policymakers and education leaders have long been calling for a focus on STEM in K-12 education in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the need for high-quality STEM teachers as the driving force behind increased student achievement in STEM. Teacher preparation programs, and differences among programs, play a significant role in producing effective STEM teachers. With that in mind, American Institutes for Research (AIR) researchers and leaders from the founding UTeach teacher preparation program at the University of Texas at Austin have collaborated to design a series of studies that would increase the evidence of the effectiveness of the program. UTeach is a university-based STEM teacher preparation program designed to increase the number of high-quality STEM teachers in the workforce. The UTeach program originated at the University of Texas at Austin and has expanded to 46 colleges and universities in 22 states and the District of Columbia. The formal partnership between AIR and UTeach started with a planning grant to develop a research agenda, guided by a panel of expert researchers, which led to AIR’s study of the effectiveness of UTeach teachers in Texas, funded by the IES research grant program. Research Question and Data The main research question of this study was: Are there significant differences in student outcomes both across UTeach programs and between UTeach programs and traditional training programs? The study used Texas administrative data covering all mathematics and science teachers and their students in public secondary schools to assess whether UTeach-affiliated programs in Texas produce teachers who are more effective than the average non-UTeach teacher, as measured by student performance on standardized assessments. AIR’s study finds that, relative to non-UTeach teachers in the state, graduates of both the UTeach founding program and six other UTeach programs at Texas universities were more effective than comparison teachers in the state, as measured by their ability to raise student test scores in math and science. Students taught by UTeach teachers in Texas perform significantly better on end-of-grade tests in mathematics and end-of-course tests in mathematics and science. Overall, the students of UTeach graduates saw an average gain of 2-5 months of schooling. Also noteworthy, the findings suggest that the introduction of UTeach to a given university is associated with an increase in the effectiveness of the STEM teachers produced by that university, even when candidate selection criteria, such as the SAT scores of incoming students, were held constant. Presenting the Findings Last month, researchers from AIR had the chance to present the study’s findings to a large group of UTeach faculty and staff at the UTeach National Conference celebrating its 20-year anniversary. Presenting our findings for the first time to a large group of practitioners was a key milestone for our AIR research team. It was also a significant moment for UTeach programs across the country: This is the first study of its kind from an independent research organization on the effectiveness of UTeach graduates. Dr. Michael Marder, co-director of the UTeach Austin program, also presented findings from a similar study he conducted in Texas, independently from AIR, that shows similar but more conservative findings. Our presentation generated a lively discussion of AIR’s research, particularly focused on sampling and analyses, and helped us plan the next steps for our collaboration. To sustain future engagement of the partnership with UTeach and to reach the broader practice community, AIR plans to develop and implement an engagement plan which will outline key messages and resources for a variety of media strategies (e.g., e-blasts, newsletters, websites, briefs, brochures, and videos). Additionally, more related studies are in the works, including the following: Retention of STEM teachers: Exploratory Study of UTeach STEM Training Program. This study will examine retention rates for UTeach teachers in comparison to teachers prepared by other higher education and alternative certification programs in Texas. The UTeach Approach: Perceptions of Teacher Preparedness and the Efficacy of UTeach Program Features as Predictors of Teacher and Student Outcomes. This study will examine UTeach candidates’ perceptions of certain program features, the extent to which they feel prepared to teach, and their levels of confidence and concerns as reported on the UTeach End of Program survey. It also will explore the relationship of these responses to outcomes for UTeach candidates.

Two former New Zealand police officers who went under cover filming how easy it is to buy medicinal marijuana in California warn this country needs to proceed with absolute caution if it's to legalise medicinal marijuana. Kirk Hardy and his colleague Glen Dobson run a workplace drug testing programme and say nothing would be better for their business than if cannabis laws were relaxed in New Zealand. But they say New Zealanders have no idea that one of the world's best known models for medicinal marijuana in California is rife with abuse. "It's only when you start peeling back the layers and having a look at it, that you see it for what it is. It's farcical," said Mr Hardy, chief executive of The Drug Detection Agency. At a clinic in San Francisco, a receptionist took Mr Dobson's name, hotel address and driver's licence, and listed any ailments and current medication. He had his blood pressure checked, paid money and told a doctor via an iPad, he had "recently started to get slightly more frequent headaches" and was finding it "a bit difficult to get to sleep". Anybody can go to a doctor and get a recommendation for any health condition- Keith Graves, a US drug education consultant After Mr Dobson told the doctor marijuana had "definitely" been helpful for those symptoms, the doctor recommended morning exercise and plenty of liquids, the cannabis recommendation a mere formality in the under-two-minute consultation. Keith Graves, a US drug education consultant, says the medicinal marijuana system is an embarrassment. "The people who were trying to get this law back in 1996 were trying to sell it as a way to help people who were truly sick. But anybody can go to a doctor and get a recommendation for any health condition," he said. Mr Hardy and Mr Dobson say they have absolute sympathy for the terminally ill who need pain relief, but if New Zealand is to proceed with relaxing marijuana law, it needs to proceed with absolute caution. Tonight ONE News runs the California experience past some American experts along with a Kiwi politician and former trade unionist Helen Kelly who is terminally ill. Both those New Zealanders are leading the growing call from the public to change our current marijuana laws.

Today I am excited to welcome Erika Chase to Escape With Dollycas! I love writing cozies. I love reading cozies. And I love sharing cozies. I don’t necessarily mean lending a copy of a new find to a friend but rather, telling that friend she’s missing out on a great new read if she doesn’t try author X’s new book. In this day of social media trumps all, I still believe it’s the old-fashioned way that works best. You enjoyed reading a book, tell a friend. Or tell all your Facebook friends. Tweet it, also. The reader is the most important ingredient once that book hits the bookstands. I’m sure every author agrees that the hours and cost of doing promotion can be staggering. But that’s what it takes. Once you are writing a series, a certain amount of would-be writing time must now be dedicated to getting the word out about the latest book or the new series, even though the next deadline is already looming. The publishers are not doing this to any great extent any longer. It’s just not viable in this shrinking publishing industry. And so, the task must belong to the writer who has to make sure review copies reach the necessary people, order swag if that’s part of the promotional plan, organize a launch, appear as a guest blogger many times over, keep refreshing the author website, regularly post on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and whatever else works. Then there are the conventions to attend, the stores to buzz, the signings to arrange, the book clubs to visit, the libraries to check in with, and anything creative the author can devise. Believe me, that takes time. And yes, there’s still that next book that needs to be written. Don’t get me wrong…this isn’t a rant. I’m just stating facts and I enjoy every minute of it. But what it comes back to is the reader. And, I’m a reader. I always have a cozy or two on the go and I’m quick to tell friends when I’ve come across a keeper. And, I do have to be choosy these days as my shelf space is dwindling while my TBR pile grows higher. That’s the lure of books. Seeing a stack just ripe for the picking, whether it’s on your nightstand or piled on the floor. Knowing that no matter what your mood, there’s a book that meets all your reading requirements at any given time. If you like a book, love a series…tell a friend and hopefully, they’ll get hooked too and also spread the word. That’s a good way to ensure that cozies survive and thrive as publishers continue to evaluate their future directions. I do believe it’s a bright future for cozies. Just check out the attendance at Malice Domestic, Left Coast Crime or the Festival of Mystery held yearly by Mystery Lovers Bookshop in Oakmont, PA. Look at the new titles put out monthly by Berkley Prime Crime, Obsidian, and the many other devoted publishers. In fact, look at the number of new small press coming on the scene. It’s reassuring and quite a delight for the reader. When I’m not writing, I’m reading. Okay, maybe I’m also doing other things like cleaning the house, shopping for groceries, attending a dental appointment – that’s life intruding on pleasure. But I wait with eagerness for each month’s new releases, I’m sure I’m among the first to read the next book by my author friends, and I don’t hesitate to tell all who can hear or read, that I just loved that book. I truly hope your reading is providing you with such delight that you’re also eager to spread the word. Because, readers rule! As do blogsites like Escape with Dollycas into a Good Book. Thanks, Lori for having such a great spot to meet with other readers. Thanks Erika for dropping by and writing the stories for us to enjoy!! About Erika Chase Erika Chase writes the Ashton Corners Book Club mysteries for Penguin/Berkley Prime Crime. In a parallel life she is also known as Linda Wiken, a former mystery bookstore owner. The first in the book club series, A Killer Read, was nominated for an Agatha Award for Best First Novel from the Malice Domestic conference in 2013. Linda/Erika is also a short story writer and a member of those dangerous dames, The Ladies’ Killing Circle. She has been short-listed for an Arthur Ellis Award, Best Short Story, from Crime Writers of Canada. Find out more about Erika on her website. (An Ashton Corners Mystery) 3rd in Series A Berkley Prime Crime Mystery The Berkley Publishing Group (August 6, 2013) Published by The Penguin Group Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages E-Book File Size: 1038 KB Murder is nothing novel for the Ashton Corners Mystery Readers and Cheese Straws Society—but this time the police want to throw the book at one of their own… Teensy Coldicutt has moved back to Ashton Corners and reunites with her childhood friend Molly Mathews. Molly is very excited to have her friend back in town and thrilled to learn that Teensy has written book, a steamy novel. She quickly enlisted the help of the Ashton Corners Mystery Readers and Cheese Straws Society, the local book club, to plan a book signing tour to promote the book. But there must be more to this sexy story than it appears because Molly is attacked and several boxes of Teensy’s books are stolen. Then the publisher of the book is murdered and fellow club member and former police chief Bob Miller is taken into custody. Why would a titillating novel written by an elderly widow draw such criminal attention? and what in the world could Bob have to do with it? Lizzie and her friends are determined to find out the rest of the story before the killer gets the chance to write someone else off… I love this series and adore all of the characters but Molly is my favorite. She is my kind of lady, nothing and no one stands in her way. In this story she even gets attacked and injured and she barely misses a step. Thankfully Lizzie knows how to handle/take care of her and does her very best to keep her safe. The Ashton Corners Mystery Readers and Cheese Straws Society group as a whole are all unique and real and a grand group of people. I would love to be a member of this group! Erika Chase gives us quite a mystery to solve in this installment with the twists and turns that keep us guessing until the very end. This reader was very surprised with the way this one played out. The author brings the book club feel by starting each chapter with a line from a popular mystery and includes the reading list of each book club member at the end of the book. I really enjoy seeing both current and past mysteries and their authors mentioned throughout the story. Like when the youngest member of the group is concerned about the killer blowing up Lizzie’s car to stop her from investigating, the other members try to steer her away from reading too much of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. It is touches like this that make the story so enjoyable. Thanks to the people at Penguin I have 1 copy to give away!

My Top Ten Most Intriguing Shows (So Far in 2011) I felt it was only fitting for me to start my time on Review STL with a Top Ten List! Now by “Most Intriguing” shows I am not saying that they are my favorites, but that I am most interested in seeing exactly how these shows will develop from week to week. Some shows not making the list include: The Big Bang Theory, Community, Parks and Recreation, Traffic Light, Perfect Couples, Mad Love, How I Met Your Mother, Dancing With The Stars, and Raising Hope 10. Rules of Engagement (CBS) In my opinion, one of the funniest shows on television right now. The writing in the show is better than most and I am always waiting to see what stupid thing Adam (Oliver Hudson) is going to do next. I will admit that I was not the biggest fan of Rules of Engagement for the first couple of seasons, but once they added Timmy (Adhir Kalyan) to counterpunch Russell (David Spade) the show got a lot better. Finally, I think that the impending wedding of Adam and Jen (Bianca Kajlich) and the coming child for Jeff (Patrick Warburton) and Audrey (Megyn Price) have made the show more intriguing for me this season. 9. Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory (MTV) Fantasy Factory is intriguing because you never know what to expect out of pro skater and entrepreneur Rob Dyrdek. The show isn’t for a lot of people but I just feel that it is one that can be enjoyed by a lot of people. Basically, all they do on the show in showcase the life and times of Dyrdek and the people who work for him at the Fantasy Factory, but it is so entertaining seeing the things the Rob and his crew actually do. This season has an added bonus because Big Black, of Rob’s former show Rob and Big, has returned to the show as an added member of the factory. 8. Body of Proof (ABC) Dana Delany plays Dr. Megan Hunt, a quick witted Medical Examiner, and she is having troubles balancing her professional and personal lives after losing her job as a neurosurgeon because of an accident on the operating table. The show is another one of those C.S.I. type of shows, but this one is a little more intriguing because of the back story of Delany’s character and I am most looking forward to see how the relationship between her and her daughter develops. Critics have also been calling Dr. Megan Hunt the “Female House” and I am looking forward to seeing if she can live up to that nickname. 7. CHAOS (CBS) CHAOS is about a group of rogue CIA agents who are doing everything in their power to keep their jobs from being eliminated by going out on operative missions that other CIA agents would refuse to do. This is a very well written show and the acting on the show has been very good so far. I also like the fact that it is funnier than most shows of its type. The thing that makes this show most intriguing is the fact that it is a type of show that has been done before, and I am looking to see exactly how it is going to be different, or even better than its predecessors. 6. American idol (FOX) American Idol is in Season Ten so we all know what the show is…a singing competition. The thing that makes this season more intriguing is the level of competition. This season has been one of the best in a while and I could really see the winner doing a lot of things….even though the losers are usually more successful in the long run. Another thing of interest this season is the dominance of the guys, it’s usually the girls who dominate the early parts of the show but this season is down to their final eight and not a single guy has went home yet. This season has also been the point of controversy with arguably the best of the female voices, Pia Toscano, already being sent home….with a recording contract, no doubt. 5. Amazing Race: Unfinished Business (CBS) This season of Amazing Race has been intriguing because it features teams that have been on the show before, and they are returning in their attempts to complete the race and win the million dollars associated with winning The Amazing Race. I will admit that I just recently started watching The Amazing Race last season, but this has just been a better all around season because it has had more controversy than last season and the teams are a lot stronger this year. 4. The Event (NBC) The Event is one of those types of shows that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout and I am always wondering exactly what is going to happen next. There are so many characters and storylines throughout each episode that it is not funny. I think the most intriguing thing about the show is I don’t know how this season is going to end and I have no idea what Sophia (Laura Innes) and her people are going to do to our planet. It’s kind of like a huge game of chess that is never going to end. 3. Survivor: Redemption Island (CBS) Backstabbing and betrayal have been the name of the game this season on Survivor: Redemption Island. With the addition of Redemption Island this has been one of the most entertaining seasons of Survivor that I have seen in a while and I am looking forward to seeing how everything is going to develop from week to week. Add in Rob and Matt’s pending rivalry, that has gotten Matt sent to Redemption Island twice, and the merger that occurred last week and that makes this one of the most intriguing shows on television to date. 2. Smallville (CW) What can be more intriguing than “Superboy” finally becoming “Superman”? I’ve been waiting for this since I started watching this show ten years ago. So, you ask why is this not number one on this list? It’s because I’ve been waiting ten years for this to happen! The show has had break after break after break…you never know how long you are going to have to wait for a new episode, but I am still anxious to see how everything pans out with Clark and Lois’ wedding, his transformation to Superman, and the return of Lex Luther for the series finale. 1. The Killing (AMC) Since its premiere The Killing has had my complete attention. It has so many twist and turns that you just can’t predict who is going to be the next suspect in the murder case of a, Seattle based, High School student. Along with that, each episode gives you more and more details into the murder case. I think the most intriguing thing about it is that you have to watch every single second of the show just so you don’t miss one single detail. I’ve watched every minute of it and I still can not even think to predict exactly who killed Rosie Larson. © 2011 Jeff Siler

Swinton Lions have landed Ireland international Will Hope. The 24-year-old has spent the last two seasons in the Championship with Swinton and Sheffield, playing 25 times for the Eagles last season. Club chairman Andy Mazey said: “I am absolutely delighted we finally have Will on board with us. Will is a player Stuart knows well and identified very early in on our recruitment drive last autumn as someone who would add value to our team and club. It is a timely boost for us to be able to conclude a deal which sees us acquire an established Championship quality forward. In fact Will is not only just proven at Championship level, as he also holds valuable experience at International level with Ireland. The fact that he is a Swinton boy who is proud to be signing for his home-town club is another added bonus.” Lions’ Head Coach Stuart Littler was also delighted with the new addition to his squad. “It’s fantastic to have agreed a contract with Will Hope,” he said. “Will is a proven international who has represented Ireland at the top level of the sport. As well as possessing vast experience, Will is also a local boy who will bring with him pride and passion to our famous jersey. He will commence training with us immediately and I am excited to get him integrated into our squad. Will is a player that I identified a while back having played with him for Ireland, so I know exactly what he is about. We have been in contact for a good while and so it’s great to finally be in a position to officially announce him as a Swinton player. Welcome aboard Will.” Hope added: “I’m very grateful for this opportunity. I did have some business to sort out away from the rugby pitch, but now that’s out of the way I’m really looking forward to getting started. My grandad Jim Hope played for Swinton and captained them at times I think, so it will be a proud thing to follow in his footsteps. As you’d expect a lot of my family and friends are Lions’ fans, so I’m looking forward to the challenge. “Over the years the time has never been right to play for Swinton, but I’m grateful that it is now. Having played with Stuart and a couple of the other lads over the years I’m sure we’ll have some laughs along the way and I’ll really enjoy it. Hopefully I can work my way into the team and contribute to what will be a long and tough season ahead. At least I shouldn’t get any stick from the Swinton fans now! Actually with the likes of Wadey out there I probably still will! But joking apart I can’t wait to get out on the pitch in a Swinton shirt.”

TV shows are known for a fierce debate or two and some of the latest talking points did just that on This Morning. Talk turned to Tracy Brabin, the MP who received a surprising amount of backlash over an outfit she wore in the House of Commons earlier in the week. The Batley and Spen MP was branded a 'tart' by trolls i for wearing a black off-the-shoulder outfit, according to Manchester Evening News. At the time, she was raising a point of order in the Commons on Downing Street's decision to order senior journalists from some of the UK's major news organisations to leave before a Brexit briefing. But after the online comments, Tracy went on the ITV daytime show and said: "This is everyday sexism, that a woman steps up and no one is listening to what she's saying - what they're doing is they're commenting on her appearance. "And why do they do it? Because it's a way to silence us. I'm not going to be silenced." This then followed a chat between hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield and guests Morning View reviewers Nick Ferrari and Nicola Thorp. Holly, 38, said she was stunned by all the fuss, admitting that she herself couldn't see an issue. Interrupting the debate, the mum-of-three questioned: "Am I the only one that doesn't think that's inappropriate? I can't understand." While former Corrie star Nicola agreed that the backlash was completely out of order, Nick argued that the choice of outfit wasn't appropriate for the House of Commons and claimed it was 'distracting'. But Holly couldn't see it. "That's a smart dress...," she exclaimed. "I wouldn't mind, I honestly don't see... I can see a shoulder. Why is that distracting?" As co-host Phil then went to moved the conversation on, Holly said: "Amazing... I find it fascinating, I really do." Want more news?

The Knicks were thinking about making the draft at number 5 so they could get Obi Toppin. They didn’t make that leap and were rewarded nonetheless, when Toppin fell on them at number 8. 22-year-old Toppin, who starred for Dayton, joins a young core that includes Mitchell Robinson and RJ Barrett. “I’m from New York, that’s why it’s important,” Toppin said. “I representing my city, it’s fantastic. A lot of people pray to be in this position. I won’t take it for granted.” Saying his defense is one of the things he needs to work on, Toppin was thrilled to be working with Knicks manager Tom Thibodeau. “I learned a lot about the coach during this pandemic and basically understand that he is a defensive coach,” said Toppin. I feel like I have him as my coach, he’ll make sure I hook up and make sure he gets big one day. I feel like if I break down this defensive plan one day I will become a great player, a great player one day. “ As for how he fits in with the Knicks, Toppin was thrilled to play with Barrett, who the Knicks have firmly in their plans for the future despite a fluctuating rookie season. “I feel like RJ and I are going to be a great duo,” Toppin explained. “It will be like me and Jalen again – me and Jalen Crutcher, who I played with at Dayton. RJ and I on the field together will be many situations where we will put people in difficult situations like pick-and-roll covers, knowing I can pick and pop, knowing that I can roll to the basket. And RJ having an IQ and the skills he has, I feel like we will be a very dynamic couple in the NBA and we will prove it next season. “ While hoping to become a key piece of the Knicks’ young up-and-coming core, Toppin – who said New York is “down a couple of years” – said he’s ready to help “get New York back on the map for sure. “. Toppin also spoke of his meteoric rise, sometimes overwhelmed with emotion. “Nothing was easy for me,” he said. “I went through a lot of things growing up. I feel like through those struggles and those bad times I went through growing up, it made me the person and player I am today. I learned from those experiences, on and off the pitch. And going through those experiences helped me become who I am today. I wouldn’t change that at all. “

RHONY gets fans criticizing the Bravo show with almost every episode. But this year, Ramona Singer seemingly gets the brunt of angry fans. Almost every episode, she gets slammed for one thing or another. In the latest episode, fans grew angry about so many things she says. For starters, she referred to resort staff as “servants” and that annoys people. People call her out for her obnoxious and arrogant ways. One Real Housewives of New York City critic termed her a “despicable excuse for a human!” RHONY – criticism rises against ‘despicable’ Ramona Singer this season In the last few weeks alone, Ramona got slammed when the toilet became blocked. That grossed out fans who also noticed she made much ado brandishing the plunger and putting her hand in the bowl. She didn’t tip a waiter either. And, we reported she got backlash after she melted down at her birthday and threatened to leave the Real Housewives of New York City show. Recall, she also went on and on about being very special, claiming she’s in the top 1% of the wealthy. RHONY fans thought she lied about that and pointed out she behaves as if she lives in a gutter sometimes. She tries coming out all arrogant and rich, fans think, but then behaves like an out of control teenager sometimes. Many people slam her for it on social media. And this week, more people slapped at her. This week, her bad behavior came at a fancy Cancun resort in Mexico. Dorinda Medley made the arrangements for the ladies and it looked fine at first. It’s entertaining but I’m tired. Real Housewives of Groundhog Day. Berkshires, Mexico, Ramona being rude to staff, Sonja wasted on arrival. #RHONY needs some magic back. — James (@MrJamesStapes) July 31, 2020 Usual bad behavior involving alcohol and Ramona Reality Tea reported that once again, too much alcohol made its way into the show once again. Sonja got into the booze, and of course, who didn’t expect that Leah would clash with Ramona after the bust-up at the birthday party? So, Mexico came with all the right ingredients for the usual drama. But, the ire of fans arose almost as soon as they all arrived in Cancun. The meet and greet went down very well. All the ladies seemed rather impressed. Meanwhile, wandering off a bit, Ramona found loads of staff all ready to attend to all their needs. Carelessly, and some RHONY fans felt, classlessly, she called them “servants.” Her behavior in the episode saw many people call her unflattering names. One follower on Twitter wrote, “What a grade A, nasty a–hole!” They also called her “a despicable excuse for a human!” Not alone, others chimed in. They grew angry that Ramona started discussing Leah’s mental health on the show. One person noted, “Ramona All-Lives-Matter Singer was so wrong for gossiping about Leah’s mental health. SHE is the one cheapening the group.” Ramona is a despicable monster. "LOOK HOW MANY SERVANTS!" #RHONY — Gubs (@gubsreela) July 31, 2020 Another disgruntled fan of RHONY said, “Ramona is a horrible person!” And, talking about calling the resort staff “servants,” one commented, “@Andy time for Ramona to be held accountable. Disgusting person! People in the service industry are not your servants!!!” What do you think about Ramona getting fans more and worked up as the season progresses? Sound off in the comments below.

- Project plans - Project activities - Legislation and standards - Industry context Last edited 28 Sep 2020 In terms of the built environment, the term ‘view’ refers to a visual prospect of, or from, a structure or building. A view from a building is generally enabled by installing a window or other form of opening or external platform. Having a ‘good view’ is typically seen as an desirable quality for buildings and is often one of the factors that affects its price. Equally, a ‘bad view’ can have a negative influence. This is one reason why in high-rise buildings, prices tend to increase the higher up a space is and so the better the view is perceived to be. There is no right to a view in English law, as this would too broadly restrict the ability of other people to develop land. It is possible, however, to enter into a contract or licence with another land owner to agree that a view will not be obstructed, although payments and conditions may be attached. Alternatively, the parties could agree a restrictive covenant, obliging one party not to obstruct the view of the other. For more information, see Right to a view. There are certain rights to light which may or may not be in alignment with a view. In some places views can be protected by authorities. For example, in London there are certain views which are protected and cannot be obscured by new developments. For more information, see London View Management Framework. The term ‘view’ might also relate to looking at or inspecting a property or land, i.e. a ‘viewing’, often with the purpose being to decide on purchasing, renting, or entering another form of contractual agreement.

THEY think it's all Rover... it is now. A Non-League game was abandoned due to safety fears when a rowdy dog repeatedly ran on the pitch and its owner failed to control it. The referee at Oadby Town's tempestuous home clash against Leicester Nirvana maybe had the wrong type of whistle as he tried in vain to calm what onlookers called a "large Alsatian". Nirvana were 2-1 up with 12 minutes remaining in their first United Counties League match since October. But one of their scorers, Shaquille Master, plus Oadby's Mandeep Bains, had already been sent off. So maybe that setter bad example to the Alsatian. The Non League Paper suggest it was a home supporter's dog causing the problems. And with the fan's side losing, it might be a case of the tail wagging the dog. The final straw came when the Alsatian scampered onto the pitch in front of the technical area for THREE MINUTES. After relentlessly trying to persuade the dog away, as well as urging the owner to rein it in, the ref eventually decided there had been excess paws in play and called time on the match. Nirvana tweeted: "Never experienced a game not finishing due to a person and his dog both on the loose around the ground... refs said enough.. game over!” Yet it's not the first or most spectacular time a dog has intervened in football. Torquay stayed in the League 33 years ago after a police dog bit their right-back Jim McNichol against Crewe on the final day of the season. Most read in Football McNichol's injury and treatment helped create seven minutes of stoppage time in which the Gulls bagged their vital equaliser. But of course pride of place goes to Pickles, a mixed-breed collie who FOUND the stolen World Cup in 1966. The Jules Rimet trophy went missing from an exhibition in Westminster - four months before England won the tournament and were on cloud canine!

In a historically significant moment, Fabiana Pierre-Louis was unanimously confirmed by the state Senate on Thursday afternoon, becoming the first Black woman to serve as an associate justice on the New Jersey Supreme Court. Pierre-Louis, the daughter of Haitian immigrants who grew up in Irvington and earned her law degree in 2008 of Rutgers Law School in Camden, was confirmed by a 39-0 vote. Gov. Phil Murphy celebrated the confirmation. “I’m incredibly proud that the Senate has unanimously confirmed Fabiana Pierre-Louis as the next associate justice to serve on New Jersey’s Supreme Court,” he said in a statement. “Fabiana is an exceptionally talented attorney and will now have the historic distinction of becoming the first Black woman to be seated on our state’s highest court. “I am honored to have put her name forward, and to see someone with a different set of life experiences and perspectives on our Supreme Court, a judicial body where New Jerseyans from all walks of life turn for justice. I also thank Senate President (Steve) Sweeney and (Judiciary Committee) Chairman (Nicholas) Scutari for their support and conducting a thorough, fair and open confirmation process.” Pierre-Louis, 39, is a former federal prosecutor from Burlington County, but her back story —English was not her first language — makes her even more compelling and groundbreaking. Her connections to the state run deep. She attended high school (Union Catholic), college (Rutgers University) and law school (Rutgers-Camden) in the state. She also attended the Summer Institute for Pre-Legal Studies at Seton Hall Law School in the summer of 2000 — before her junior year at Rutgers. She previously has said the institute helped steer her to a career in law. Pierre-Louis will replace Justice Walter Timpone, who is reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70. At 39, she will be the youngest member of the court by more than 20 years. Chief Justice Stuart Rabner is 60. Kimberly Mutcherson, the first Black woman law dean at Rutgers and co-dean of Rutgers Law School in Camden, rejoiced over the confirmation. “Rutgers Law School is immensely proud of our alumna, Fabiana Pierre-Louis, upon her confirmation by the New Jersey Senate to the New Jersey Supreme Court,” she said in a statement. Mutcherson said the historical significance of the confirmation should not be understated. “With this confirmation, she becomes the first Black woman to serve on our state’s highest court at a pivotal moment in our nation’s history when we are wrestling with issues that have plagued our country since its founding,” she said. “Her experiences in law and beyond provide a firm foundation for her new role, and I am confident that she will swiftly establish herself as a thoughtful jurist committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting the integrity of the system of justice in our state and our society.” Mutcherson said Pierre-Louis will be a role model for years to come. “On a more personal note, in the years that I have known Ms. Pierre-Louis, I have found her to be smart, focused, compassionate and committed to being a role model and mentor to the young lawyers following in her footsteps,” she said. “I am thrilled that so many of our students will use her example to aspire to new levels of success in their own careers.”

You have no items in your shopping cart. Are you dreaming of becoming an exceptional dentist? Do you want to study only at the best dental school in the United States? Or perhaps, you are wondering where the most outstanding dentist in your town studied dentistry. No matter what your reasons why you want to know the best dental schools in the US today, we will give you the information you need. Best US dental schools according to QS world university ranking system In the 2017 top 10 QS world ranking system, 2 of them are US dental schools. These are: When the list is expanded to top 25 QS world university ranking, 6 US dental schools are being added. These are: * Rank #11 is the New York University * Rank #12 is the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill * Rank #14 is the University of Washington * Rank #15 is the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) * Rank #15 is the University of Pennsylvania * Rank #21 is the University of California, San Francisco When the list is expanded to top 50 QS world university ranking, another 6 US dental schools are added. These are: * Rank # 33 is the University of Minnesota * Rank # 36 is the Boston University * Rank # 41 is the University of Southern California * Rank # 44 is the Columbia University * Rank # 47 is the University of Florida * Rank # 50 is the Tufts University Top 10 US dental schools based on StartClass ranking According to the widely acknowledge organization known as StartClass, the top 10 dental schools in the United States 2017 are as follows: * Rank # 1 the University of California at Los Angeles School of Dentistry in Los Angeles, California * Rank # 2 the University of California at San Francisco School of Dentistry in San Francisco, California * Rank # 3 University of Michigan School of Dentistry in Ann Arbor, Michigan * Rank # 4 University of North Carolina School of Dentistry in Chapel Hill, North Carolina * Rank # 5 New York University College of Dentistry (NYU) in New York, New York * Rank # 6 University of Washington-Health Sciences School of Dentistry in Seattle, Washington * Rank # 7 University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania * Rank # 8 Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in New York, New York * Rank # 9 University of Florida College of Dentistry in Gainesville, Rank # 10 University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania How are dental schools being ranked? There are many ways dental schools are being ranked. The criteria greatly vary according to the organization who make the ranking. These criteria may or may not include aspects like the location of the school, the average number of exam passers, the cost, the quality of dentists they produce, the types of dental equipment, facilities, and devices like dental loupes and headlights available, and many other. Although there are many different organizations that identify which of the current dental schools in the US is the best, and even though they generally do not agree to which one specific school is the number #1 spot, they are able to list down almost the same schools (but with different rankings). For instance, organization A puts dental school A in rank #1 while organization B lists it in the #10 rank. With the different criteria that organizations use in ranking dental schools, the most highly respected and widely accepted is the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) world university ranking system which is used in determining the best dental schools in the world.

GMB calls on government to abandon plans to increase small claims limit in personal injury claims The government’s proposal to increase the small claims limit in personal injury claims is yet another barrier to accessing justice. Small claims are low value claims brought in the county court where the winning party cannot generally recover their legal costs from the other side. As a result, those bringing small claims often do not seek legal advice from solicitors or barristers as the cost of this is generally greater than the value of the claim. Currently, the small claims limit in personal injury claims is £1k. Someone who is injured at work, therefore, and whose injury is valued at less than £1k will not generally seek legal advice or bother trying to bring a claim, unless they are supported by, for example, a trade union. The government is proposing to make the situation much worse, however, by increasing the small claims limit in personal injury claims from £1k to £2k. (It’s worse for road traffic accident related whiplash claims where the government is proposing to increase the small claims limit to £5k). This means that, in the future, if a winning claimant’s injury is worth anything up to £2k, then they will not generally be able to recover their legal costs from the losing party. The potential imbalance between the two sides is stark. On the one hand, you may have a low paid worker on a zero hours contract, who is injured at work due to no fault of their own but who cannot afford legal advice or representation. On the other hand you may have an employer, who has insurance and easy access to legal advice who can wait and see just how far they can get away with poor health and safety practices. The government has tried to justify its proposals by referring to inflation and insurance fraud. However, their arguments are unconvincing and it is likely to be meritorious claims that are instead disadvantaged by the proposals. GMB recently supported a member in recovering just over £1k in a claim for personal injury following an accident at work. Here, the member was struck by a pallet that had been left in an unsafe location in a warehouse, suffering an injury to his forehead. James Cooper of UnionLine solicitors Pattinson & Brewer Solicitors who acted for the member said, “Dealing with minor injuries can be complicated as the Defendant’s legal representatives are keen to ensure that the most minor amount of compensation is offered. However, an injury is an injury. The government’s proposals have been ill thought out and are only in the interests of large insurance corporations and not working people.” Carole Vallelly, Regional Organiser GMB Southern Region, said, “This member suffered an injury in the workplace and, to put it simply, nothing should restrict their right to seek redress. I call on the government to abandon its proposals to increase the small claims limit in personal injury cases.” The government is proposing to increase the small claims limit in 2020. Its timing is cynical, to say the least. Only last year, the Supreme Court struck down the Employment Tribunal Fees Order which required claimants to pay fees of up to £1200 in order to bring claims in the Employment Tribunal. The Supreme Court’s judgment attacked the barrier to accessing justice that the fees represented. For the government to now nonetheless press ahead with an increase in the small claims limit shows a similar and continued disregard of the rights of ordinary working people to access justice. Avril Chambers, Senior Organiser, GMB Southern Region commented saying, “The government’s proposal is yet another barrier to accessing justice and shows, yet again, the importance of GMB membership.” If you have suffered an injury at work, please contact your local GMB representative without delay.

- Mar 4, 2010 13th November 2010 He kept it rather precariously on top of a bookcase in the living room an elegant Chinese vase with a fish motif on the front and gold banding that glistened occasionally in the sunlight. One nudge could have sent it crashing to the ground at any time over the last several decades. But it wouldnt have been a disaster. The ornate porcelain ornament would have been worth an impressive £800 on the insurance. That, at least, was the theory and it might have stayed that way had the vase not caught the eye of an expert after a modest semi in Pinner, north-west London, was cleared in the wake of the owners death. What the art world now knows is that the 16-inch tall vase is the most expensive piece of Chinese porcelain ever to come on to the market creating a whirlwind of excitement after it was sold at auction on Thursday for £53.1million. It was described variously as a masterpiece, exquisite and a world record discovery that became the antiques story of the 21st century. So yesterday the riddle of how it journeyed from an 18th century royal palace in Beijing to a lounge in the suburbs became a Chinese puzzle that had historians and art experts across the globe scratching their heads in disbelief. Today the Daily Mail can reveal that the vase belonged to an elderly man who inherited it from his uncle, an explorer who travelled frequently to the Far East. When the man died this year it was left as part of his estate to his sister, in her seventies, and her married son, in his forties. At a chaotic, crowded sale on Thursday night, they watched in disbelief as frantic bidding changed their fortunes in a matter of minutes. Bidding suddenly rocketed from £500,000 to tens of millions. Last night the pair were virtually in hiding after their lottery-style win, pleading with the auction house to honour a promise that their identities would not be revealed. That left interested parties from around the world scrambling for detail about the provenance of an artwork which, it emerged yesterday, was the most expensive item of Asian art ever sold, as well as the worlds priciest objet dart, excluding paintings and bronze sculpture. Today it forms the centrepiece of a tale that involves an auction house more used to selling £500 mahogany armchairs than something which reaps an £8.6million commission (not including VAT); a breathtakingly inaccurate estimate of what it might fetch; and a gloriously comic Del Boy moment when just like the auction scene in one Only Fools And Horses Christmas special the son had to go outside for a breath of fresh air when it became clear they had been unwittingly sitting on a fortune. Yesterday Pinner was swarming with journalists and TV camera teams trying to track down any tiny clue to the provenance of the 1740 Qianlong dynasty piece. The Mail has discovered that the explorer uncle spent the inter-war years of the 1920s and 1930s travelling the world and left it to the family with a remarkable collection of mementoes, maps, antique travel books and ornaments. The vase, fired in the Imperial kilns and marked with the Imperial seal, was made for the Emperor by a master craftsman. It is thought to have left its rightful royal home towards the end of the 19th century, in a period of widespread looting and theft. By the 1930s, however, China was going through a depression and great change. So the question is, did the explorer unwittingly buy it for a pittance from a dodgy dealer in Beijing? Or was it a gift from some colonial type who didnt know its true value? That part of the chronology may never now be determined. As the auctioneers themselves put it: If only the vase could speak. Hence, the modern-day chapter of this story unfolds not in China, but 5,000 miles away in Pinner. The area does have an association with Ming and Qianlong but they are take-aways, not dynasties. So it was to Ruislip that the late owners family looked when they were arranging to clear the house, believed to have been a semi-detached bungalow. How fortunate for Bainbridges Auctions and house-clearance services that they happened to have put a flyer through the letterbox of the dead chaps sister, who lives nearby. In September she received a visit from sale room manager David Reay. At this stage, incidentally, lawyers had valued the vase for probate purposes at just £800. Remarkably, with hindsight, the family wondered if the bookcase on which it stood was more valuable (in fact it sold later for just £200 with other personal effects totalling £7,000). But one item, sitting on a plastic shelf at Bainbridges when their consultant valuer came in, had been removed from the house sale. Luan Grocholski, an expert in ceramics who worked for Sothebys, caught only a glimpse of the vase in the stockroom but it was enough to set his pulse racing. I saw and just thought it couldnt be true, he said. I realised the quality was fantastic, and assumed it was a very high quality copy. He began to look in libraries and at other works from the same period, a research quest that eventually took him six weeks. He and the auction house thus set their estimate of its value at £800,000 to £1.2million, hoping it might rise to a few million with luck. They did not anticipate the astonishing appetite of a cash-rich Chinese market to buy back its stolen or exported relics. On Thursday evening, potential bidders filed into the two-storey warehouse beside West Ruislip Underground station. The musty room was cluttered with furniture and old paintings and bidders had to squeeze up to get in. Among them their identities unknown to anyone except Mr Reay the mother and son watched in silence, possibly anxious as the vase was placed on what someone described later as a wobbly old table at the front of the room. After a slow start, with six live bidders and three telephone bidders still in the game, the interested parties narrowed to two as the price soared into tens of millions. It took less than two minutes to rack up the final £20million, climaxing at an astonishing £53million. Auctioneer and company director Peter Bainbridge shouted Sold and slammed his gavel so hard on the rostrum, it shattered into several pieces. He had just earned the family-run company at least £8.6million in commission, possibly several million more if they didnt waive the usual extra fees. The mother and son had just chalked up a fortune beyond their wildest dreams. They will have to pay Capital Gains Tax of around £12million but they will be cheered by the fact that if its true value had been known at the time of probate, they would have received an inheritance tax bill of more than £17million. Meanwhile in Beijing, an anonymous Chinese collector had just scooped a unique and historic treasure for his homeland. The bidder who bought the vase was a Chinese man in his thirties, acting as agent for the buyer and sitting quietly on a sofa at the front of the room. Yesterday at Bainbridges the engagingly eccentric Mr Bainbridge, 63, was happily posing for photographs and willingly re-enacting the drama of the previous night. In a quieter corner, Mr Reay, who had comforted the sellers as the bidding got higher, said: Whats so wonderful about it is they are very normal people. They dont have a lot. The mother just couldnt speak, she was in tears. They stayed at the back of the room, out of sight, and no one knew they were there, not even Peter Bainbridge. This is the biggest shock of their lives. The mum said to me, If only this had happened to me 30 years ago. SOURCE: DAILY MAIL

I grew up in “Chip-nerm”, before it exploded into its current sprawl of field-obliterating estates. It was actually quite a pleasant town, which ended at the Pheasant Pub to the west and at the cemetery/ Hardens Mead to the east. This was when Westinghouse was still going strong (I worked in the foundry), Westmead Junior school was still open, there were two Cavasciutti cafés in the town. When the swimming pool in Monkton park was open-air. It was no paradise then. Bikers from rival towns like Calne, Melksham etc would regularly roar around to each others’ pub hangouts on Saturday nights. They’d batter or glass each other to settle whatever primitive tribal disputes bikers had back then. In fact it’s always been a bit of a redneck town. Getting beaten up by someone “strong in the arm and thick in the head” was always on the cards if you happened to be out on the streets late on a Friday or Saturday night after chucking out time. Depressing spiral of Decline Coming back regularly to visit over the years I have seen a depressing spiral of aesthetic and social decline. This is not unique in Wiltshire, as most of the county’s towns have suffered a similar fate. Just walk down the High Street on a Saturday morning or on market day. You will think you’ve strayed onto the set of a movie about a mass genetics experiment gone wrong. Everyone looks either terminally ill, insane, drunk, tranquilized or desperate. Obesity and deformity dominate. Dress sense, poise and elegance are completely absent. Many people appear to be smoking, eating and drinking all at the same time. Wobbly and Vulgar There are acres of wobbling badly-tattooed, blotchy, unhealthy flesh on display. Unbelievably fat ugly vulgar young women smoke, holler and swear loudly to each other as their hideous, hyperactive and out-of-control brats with expensive trendy haircuts run amok clutching high-sugar drinks and stuffing high-salt junk into their brutish little faces. Fat guys schlep around in tracksuits with their **** cracks showing and oh dear when the sun comes out and it gets hot they do the worst thing: they take walk around bare chested with massive white guts on display. Not for the faint-hearted or anyone of a sensitive disposition. Clearly there is a lot of alcohol, fast-food and drug-related damage here. Monkey see, Monkey do There is also damage from watching too much “reality” TV whose “stars” many people are clearly keen to emulate both in appearance and mannerisms. It would appear that many young people have decided that self-mutilation with extreme piercings, weird hair-dyes, and job-stopper tattoos is the only way to define their identity, with predictably tragic, often catastrophic results. It really is a post-apocalyptic movie caster’s paradise. Catch snatches of conversation and you will hear nothing but banality and vulgarity. In the shops you will be greeted by “allo mate” instead of “can I help you”, unless you go into for example the Vodafone shop where they’ve been brainwashed to say “are you all right there?” Snapbacks and Subarus Meanwhile, boy racers (driving Subaru WRXs, daft little Saxos with burbling exhausts and other rice burners with sneezing dump valves) with rapper-style baseball caps and booming sub-woofers cruise the one-way system glaring out at the world with their tattooed steroid biceps on display. In fact, a lot of people drive way too fast and aggressively in Chippenham (on their way to or back from the supermarket with their massive payloads of alcohol, red meat, cakes and chocolate). Lowest Common Denominator In every recess of the park river walks, you can see dense deposits of plastic bottles, cans and takeaway wrappers. But a lot of the above is a pattern repeated all over the UK; the Lowest Common Denominator rules; morons roam freely gazing dumbly at their phones checking out the social media banality comments of other idiots. Chippenham has very little culture or refinement to offer. It’s a tragic dump populated by people of low education, low aspiration and low IQ, which is a shame, as it could be such a nice place if it weren’t for its inhabitants.

With financial support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s State Energy Program, within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), the Tennessee State Energy Office, in collaboration with the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency and the National Association of State Energy Officials, conducted Mission Moon Pie: A Fuel Shortage Exercise and Workshop—named after Tennessee’s confection, the Moon Pie, to sweeten the deal. EERE's State Energy Program provides funding and technical assistance to states, territories, and the District of Columbia to enhance energy security, advance state-led energy initiatives, and maximize the benefits of decreasing energy waste. SEP emphasizes the state’s role as the decision maker and administrator for program activities within the state that are tailored to their unique resources, delivery capacity, and energy goals. The Tennessee-led Fuel Shortage Exercise and Workshop boasted almost 70 participants from federal and state agencies, local governments, nongovernmental organizations, and private-sector fuel companies. Participants discussed energy resiliency, the federal role in preparedness efforts, regional grid hardening efforts, potential cybersecurity threats, and the fuel supply chain and potential vulnerabilities in the system. “After the Nashville-area fuel shortage in 2016, we wanted to gather stakeholders to promote awareness on key issues and become better prepared for a long-term fuel disruption in the region,” said Ben Bolton, energy programs administrator for the Tennessee State Energy Office and Tennessee’s primary emergency services coordinator for Emergency Support Function 12—Energy. “This exercise was a major step forward in developing a better emergency response at all levels of government.” Energy representatives from Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania convened with federal, state, local government, and industry colleagues to discuss strengthening energy resiliency and emergency response to situations like fuel shortages and cybersecurity threats. States identified agency roles and responsibilities, improved communication and coordination in the event of a fuel shortage, and developed response options for extended fuel shortages. Participants also exercised potential disaster scenarios involving cyberattacks, power outages, severe weather, and a prolonged fuel shortage. Through these exercises, participants were given the opportunity to learn about and share feedback regarding potential actions their federal, state, local, and industry colleagues may take during such emergencies. These valuable insights will help the State of Tennessee develop and improve and its preparedness and response efforts.

So I brought a couple beets home. Of course I needed to use them for this recipe. I heard that the original Red Velvet Cake recipe was colored with beets. Beets IMHO is a super food. Good for your liver. I have read a little about how important it is to eat foods from all color spectrums. Hey Google it! Hey Google it! Anyway, I searched for an easy Paleo Red Velvet Cake recipe and I found this one Dana shared on the Paleo Palate. This is my adaptation of the recipe. I was a little disappointed the red baked out of the cupcakes but the rich flavor remained. I made mini cupcakes as a way of exercising portion control. NO power loading please!

Drain and set aside and let cool slightly. - Place cooked beets in a food processor and puree. - Measure out one cup of pureed beets into a bowl and mix softened butter in. - Add sweetener, eggs and vanilla into the beet mixture. - In a separate small bowl whisk together the dry ingredients(flour, cocoa, soda and salt). - Dump the dry ingredients into the beet mixture.

The article states that the lexical and semantic background of the language units of folk tales contains cognitive information about the centuries-old worldview of the people, the conceptual analysis of which can determine the unity of the national worldview and general spiritual concepts. Folklore texts are important in recognizing the mental nature of the Kazakh people and determining the basic basis of folk culture, because they are, in fact, the "memory" of the people, an indicator of the high culture of the people. One of the concepts that allows to better understand the mentality of the people, to penetrate the spirit and see the world image of the nation through the eyes of this nation - the concept of the khan. After all, the frequent occurrence of the word khan is a reflection of the social structure of that period, the system of governing the country. Thus, in the fairy tale about the khan, all his qualities: strengths and weaknesses, positive and negative habits, intelligence and humanity, customs and traditions, etc. The warehouse of ethnocultural information, which provides such features and valuable information, will be the basis for the formation of the conceptual framework. The result linguostatistic analysis of fairy tales, it became known that the Kazakh fairy tales found a very large number of words "Khan" and the word king is very little that he found in fairy tales, common to the Turkic peoples, which are considered today in a group of short stories tales. And in the Turkic and Uzbek folk tales, as the ruler of the country, the Royal word asset was spent. In contrast to the peculiarities of the use of Khan and Royal words in each national lexicon, it can be noted that in the languages belonging to the Oguz branch of the Turkic languages, the Royal word prevails, and in the languages of the Kipchak group, the word Khan is widely used. Thus, the lexical layer of folk tales can become a means of learning the indigenous vocabulary of this people, learning through it the linguistic and cultural reality. Key words: concept of the khan, linguostatistics, folklore, folk tales, ethnocultural, lexical layer, mentality.

No.7 What does Pyrithion mean? The honest answer is that we just liked the way it sounded. The name itself came from Andy’s old band; they had a song title called “Pyrithion House” and we just kind of just pulled the name from that. No.7 Who’s playing drums on this? J.P. Andrade. He did an incredible job playing drums. We didn’t officially include him because we were trying to think long-term, being a long-term member of the band. J.P. learned the songs, though, with only a couple of day’s notice. No.8 Are there plans to do a full-length album? We’re doing the EP as an introduction to the band to get a little bit of a reaction, to find out how much demand there is for it. Either way, we’re planning on doing a full-length by the end of the year. After that, maybe we’ll have enough songs to do a few shows. No.9 So, maybe a tour by December 2013? Right now, with only three songs, there’s not enough for a set. We’re definitely going to have songs written by the end of the year, so, that’s a good rough guess. No.10 Who was the artist who did the cover art on the EP? His name is Ruyhan; he’s an Indonesian artist and prior to doing this album cover he hadn’t done a lot of artwork that had been sold commercially. No.11 Is there a meaning to the cover? It’s going on the idea that change and progress only comes about through death, as far as history is concerned. Death is the only thing that brings about progress. Not that I view all of life that morbidly, but I think that in the lyrics of the EP there’s a lot of talk about how death is necessary for change. The mechanism that death is always in the works and we can’t ever stop it, it’s a machine that’s constantly churning. The reaper character is like a reaper and a machine pulled together. No.12 Are Pyrithion’s lyrics still based in your faith and personal experience at all? For this band, I wanted the lyrics to be a little more hypothetical I guess is the word. I wanted to write about something that was outside of my normal thinking, but not so nerdy as being about dragons. It’s taking on different world views and then leads to the questions and repercussions of viewing life that way. Questions of where hatred and sorrow come from, no matter what philosophical views somebody adapts they still have to face those central problems. No.13 We’re you reading anything that inspired you? I don’t get to read as much as I used to, so I’ve become more of aguy. I’d seen a lot of documentaries on the universe and on the different theories on how the universe expanded or how life was fine tuned. Taking into perspective those types of philosophies, one of the most difficult questions they leave me with is about the certain cruelty to the way that life develops under that; there’s a certain cruelty to death being constantly at work and only through massive amounts of death and regeneration can we be in that potential single moment of being a fine-tuned species. That type of thought was the influence for some of the lyrics at least. Rock Hard \m/

Stellan is a part of the management team and came back in September after his parental leave. So, I asked him to sit down and have an interview with me. I hope you do like it. Since 2012 Stellan is online strategist at Zooma and helping our friends to figure out how to best use online and digital to achieve tangible results. Good to have you back on board, Stellan! Did you enjoy your parental leave? Yes, it was great. We had our fourth child and built a new "smart" house. We moved just a few days before my parental leave. Then we left to live on an island in Thailand for a few months. The older kids went to school there, learned a lot, and we all enjoyed it. Was it challenging to build a "smart" home? Yes, there are many decisions to be made and technology is evolving quickly. You used to need expensive hardware and special wiring to control your house, but nowadays it's much easier to make your house smart. It's more a question of what level of smartness you are looking for. You can control all the lights, heating, and appliances, as well as locks, doorbells, cameras and alarm system. Set by a fingertip or touch of a switch. Even when you go on vacation, you can control it remotely. That's pretty awesome. Tell us a little about your background My background is quite mixed. I studied law for four years and decided to specialise in patent law and branding and all of these kinds of trademarks and other intellectual assets. Then, after an interesting case study, I got interested in start-ups, so I applied for a master's education in innovation and entrepreneurship. Nice! What happened after you graduated? As part of the master program, my fellow students and I started a company and ran it for a couple of years. Then, in 2005, after merging with another company I decided that I wanted to start working with my personal passion – the internet. At that time, there were mail-order companies that had survived the dotcom crash and were moving their business online, so I started with the Ellos Group in early 2006. Here, I went from being in charge of online business development to being the e-commerce manager for Nordics and brand manager for one of the other brands. How did you end up with Zooma? During my time at Ellos, we did a project with Zooma. In the pitch, Zooma was the only agency of all that respected our in-house knowledge. So we sort of added our respective competencies, and it became a case of one plus one equals three. Years later our roads crossed again, and I had the opportunity to work for Zooma. That's an offer you can't refuse. What are your responsibilities at Zooma? It's a broad spectra. From working with senior management teams doing strategic work to supporting in-house specialists, creating information architectures for websites, analysing a website's performance, etc. So, everything from spending a full day in a workshop to sitting a whole day in front of a screen crunching numbers or something else. What do you enjoy the most? I think I enjoy the actual mix the most. I believe that variation allows you to gain new insights and to stay at the forefront. It keeps you on edge, and makes sure you're able to move between different types of tasks in a transformative world. And I've always been a person that seeks new knowledge and new understanding. What is the difference between working in a company and an agency? The big difference between working inside a company and being a consultant is basically that on the inside you get to see all the reasons why things happen the way they do. You are ultimately in charge of whether an initiative succeeds or not. And then when you are a consultant on the outside, you support the client and aim to maximise the outcome of their investment. Also, as a consultant, you see and learn a lot from different industries which is obviously different from working in a single vertical. How was it to leave Zooma and to come back? I think it's really valuable to be able to come back with fresh eyes. That's usually an opportunity that you only get when you change jobs or when you change role entirely within a company. So when you come back, you have one or two months where you can look at things as if you just started, even though you've been with the company for many, many years. Always maximize such an opportunity.

Your loan that is personal payment the full total re re payments for the other reports determines exactly how much loan providers will loan you. That is because lenders determine the partnership betwixt your month-to-month financial obligation re payments and gross (before taxation) monthly earnings. This relationship can be your ratio that is debt-to-income DTI. Assume Jenny Jones gets $600 an in unemployment benefits ($2,600 a month) and has other income of $400 a month week. She will pay $750 a thirty days for rental and contains a $150 per month car repayment. Just how much can she borrow with a loan that is personal? This will depend from the loan provider. Numerous unsecured loan providers, like mortgage brokers, set their optimum DTI at 43per cent for borrowers with good credit. So Jenny will be in a position to have total monthly premiums of .43 * $3,000, or $1,290. Since she currently spends $900 30 days for rent and also the automobile repayments, she could get authorized for an individual loan repayment as much as $390 each month. That is a $2,000 loan if she gets a term that is six-month. How to Borrow More if you do not have Job It may be hard to get that loan when you are on jobless because many benefits maximum away at about 50 % of that which you obtained at your final work, as much as a maximum that is weekly by the state. You can apply to borrow more if you have additional income sources. For instance, if it is possible to report your investment returns on a relative side gig, consist of that on your own application. In the event that you loaned cash to a friend and then he is repaying you in monthly payments, document you are owed the funds and therefore the debtor is repaying you reliably. That might be an email that you both indication showing the quantity owed, interest repayment and rate terms. You can also desire to provide bank statements or canceled checks showing that the income will be reliably compensated. Bringing in a co-signer makes it possible for you to borrow more. This person has to be financially healthier and now have decent credit. Realize that your co-signer becomes in charge of the balance that is unpaid that you don’t repay your own personal loan as agreed. So please do not dump your dilemmas for a close friend in the event that you question your capability to settle your loan. You may manage to borrow more by pledging a valuable asset as protection when it comes to loan. For instance, your vehicle (if paid down), real-estate or perhaps a your your your retirement account. Nonetheless, avoid automobile name loans which may have exceedingly brief terms, high up-front fees and punishing rates of interest. Why Just just simply Take a loan that is personal Unemployed? There is certainly only 1 explanation to get a personal bank loan whenever unemployed. It really is to shield against unforeseen costs for necessary things. As an example, automobile fix in order to try to find work. a personal bank loan can give a pillow into the bank for emergencies which help you extend your crisis cost savings. In case your jobless success plan involves utilizing charge cards to pay for expenses while you’re out from the workforce, your own loan could be less expensive. As a whole, unsecured loan interest levels are less than those of charge cards. And are often fixed – or perhaps you can combine a loan that is personal charge cards to extend your resources further. Surviving Jobless: Savings + Signature Loans + Charge Cards You can stretch your unemployment check and savings by using credit cards for groceries, gas and payments for utilities if you lose your job. The main advantage of utilizing current charge cards whenever unemployed is you don’t need to qualify to borrow while you are economically poor. Stay away from taking payday loans on your own bank cards. The rate that is average payday loans is greater and you can find costs aswell. a unsecured loan for cash is a much better bet. By using charge cards to obtain via a stretch of jobless, you could save your self by having to pay them off with your own loan at a lower life expectancy interest. One other benefit of an unsecured loan is this has a set interest and re payment. You cannot expand the debt forever with minimal re re payments that keep you with debt for a long time. Protect Your Personal Future Now The time straight from the source that is best to borrow occurs when you certainly do not need the funds. Therefore getting authorized for an individual credit line even though you continue to have a work is a great idea if you do not have crisis cost savings to pay for at the very least 3 months of costs. For emergencies only if you are disciplined, you could open a new credit card account and keep it. Begin an emergency family savings now if you do not get one. Many financial specialists suggest if you are a salaried employee with a stable job that you save enough to pay your bills and housing costs for two months. You’ll need more if you’re self-employed or focus on payment – half a year is healthier. Not every person whom loses employment could be contributed to a loan that is personal. But in the event that you qualify thereby applying early, they could be in a position to save you cash along with your credit score.

I can not tell you how much I have enjoyed reading the many comments to my last post. I so appreciate your words of encouragement and I am especially grateful to hear form those of you in similar situations. It has taken me longer to write this week as I mull over a verbal response I had to my last post. I was asked, if I acknowledged there is a need for accountability than how do you not label schools? I remember the day my principal shared the just released test results with our faculty. The results were not what we had hoped to hear. I watched the faces of the other teachers during the discussion that followed. Their expressions ranged from frustrated, disheartened, to almost angry. My principal said very little except nothing would change if the teachers were not willing to change. I have heard teachers from other schools in an alike situation tell about how the news of low test scores actually united the faculty. I have not seen this in my school except at grade levels. This is probably due to the fact that our K-8 school is housed in two buildings that are not connected. These buildings are in walking distance, but not situated in a way that allows the teachers to have contact on a daily basis. This makes ongoing conversions very difficult. I wonder about these conversations. My former school had a green sofa in the in the hall and this is where the teachers in this building hung out after school. We had some really great conversations and most of them genuinely pertained to our teaching. One of my sons called me one day to see why I was staying at school so late and I told him, “It was green sofa time”. I am looking for a “green sofa” for my new school because we need to have these continuing conversations. Here are some questions of concern. Can we as a profession talk about our weaknesses without finger pointing? If your school is not making the needed progress, do we hold each other accountable or just ourselves? Are teachers really ready to accept accountability? If so, what does this accountability look like without labeling schools? I so often wish the format and the standards for accountability had come from educators instead of policymakers. Please continue to send in your comments. It would be great to share your thoughts on professional conversations and our current standards of accountability.

Our nationally ranked urologists offer compassionate, personalized care for men who want a vasectomy. A vasectomy is a permanent form of birth control that prevents men from getting women pregnant. It is an outpatient procedure that blocks the tubes (vas deferens) where sperm pass into the semen. Having a vasectomy does not affect your ability to have an erection or orgasm. And, it does not protect you against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Types of Vasectomy - No-scalpel vasectomy, a short procedure that is done under local anesthesia and offers the following: - Shorter recovery time compared to a conventional vasectomy - Very little bleeding - No stitches - Microsurgical vasectomy reversal, an advanced procedure that allows surgeons to be more precise, which results in high success rates. Side effects from vasectomy — which typically subside shortly after the procedure — may include the following: - Blood in your semen - Mild pain or discomfort It takes about three months after a vasectomy for there to be no sperm in your semen. Your doctor will check your semen for sperm at least once after your surgery. Most men can have a vasectomy reversal, but this is not effective for everyone. It is a complex procedure. Success rates vary depending on how long ago you had your vasectomy. Microsurgical vasectomy reversal is available at Rush. This can be a good option if you've changed your mind minds about having children or are starting life with a new partner. Rush Excellence in Vasectomy - Nationally ranked urology care: U.S. News & World Report ranked Rush University Medical Center as high performing for urology. - Personalized care: The urology team at Rush understands that the decision to have a vasectomy or a vasectomy reversal can be deeply personal and emotional. Your doctor will explain all aspects of the procedure and help you determine if it is the right option for you. - Convenient care: Rush urologists are available in a number of locations, including Chicago, Aurora Fox/ Valley and Oak Park. That means you're able to see a vasectomy specialist where and when it's easiest for you.

on all orders over $59 on all orders over $59 One of the first essential steps for hunting down a game is certainly learning about the daily habits of the animal. Of course, it is good if you can be on the field 24/7 to watch what is going on but this is unlikely to be the case. This is where trail cameras come in and take on that task for you. With a proper camera, you can catch high-quality images and videos day and night to scout a game efficiently. With that being said, let's go into those 6 best trail cameras for the money out there. Rating: 4.7 / 5 The Reconyx Hyperfire HC600 camera is one of those products that have a whole lot to offer. It’s a really impressive camera because it has infrared support and it doesn’t glow. That makes it perfect for hunting, and it eliminates the telltale red glow that appears in the case of infrared cameras in general. It looks astonishing and it brings in front that unique set of visuals you can’t really find anywhere else. You can use the camera with 12 AA batteries. Sure, it does eat up a lot of batteries, but the camera is actually very powerful and it brings in front some really good benefits that you will enjoy having. It’s a trusty, reliable camera that can be adapted to suit your needs and expectations in a meaningful way too. It can be worth the effort, so you should totally check it out if you want. Its image quality is pristine and the value on its own is quite amazing, so if you do get it at around $500 or so it will be worth it! Rating: 4.2 / 5 There are lots of things to like when it comes to the Spypoint Force 11D camera. First, it’s one of the most visually interesting trail cameras out there. The camo approach does wonders for it and you will be very impressed with the great visuals showcased here. They did a very good job when it comes to offering you a good and proper body for the camera, everything works the way you would want to and the results are really good. In addition, the infrared features are extremely powerful and that does offer the camera a lot of value and quality unlike never before. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re on the lookout for a really good, outstanding and distinct camera that you can use on the spot in no time. Rating: 4.1 / 5 What you will like about the Stealth Cam G45NG Pro is that it can offer 14 MP photos, which is actually a very interesting thing to see. The HD video is ok, it’s not full HD but you don’t really need that anyway, so try to use that to your own advantage. The time lapse and PIR override features do wonders in this perspective, and you will appreciate the tremendous value and unique attention to detail delivered here. You can also program the unit to start running at a certain time and you can even stop it if you want to. It’s this type of feature that does wonders and in the end, it offers you the results that you do not want to miss. It’s certainly worth it, especially if you like using it and you enjoy checking out all the features around it. They also added an external 12-volt battery jack, which means you can have quite a lot of power here if you want to in no time. Rating: 4.3 / 5 The reason why you want to use the Bushnell 8MP Trophy Cam is that it brings in front some rather distinct, unique features right off the bat. They added a 32 led flash for the 24-hour game scouting sessions. And you also have a 45-foot motion-activated sensor that actually does wonders if you know how to use it properly. The integration of field scan time lapse also allows you to see when the image was captured, and that will give you a much better insight into where animals are located. It’s safe to say that the Bushnell 8MP Trophy Cam is a really good option for serious hunters. You can capture video up to 60 seconds with audio and you can add an SD card inside if you want to as well. The unit is incredibly easy to use and it does bring in front some rather unique features and benefits for you to enjoy. They did a really good job with the entire experience, and the outcome on its own can be quite interesting! Rating: 4.5 / 5 While the Browning Strike Force HD does have a very intricate design at first, it does look amazing and it comes with those features that everyone wants to see from a HD camera. It has 18 MP which is more than ok, and at the same time you can add up to 512 GB in SD cards, so if you want it to scout for quite some time you can totally do that. You can also override the SD card information if you want to, which is always nice. They have a picture stamp feature that has the moon phase, temperature, camera ID, time and date as well as other relevant information. Upon request, the unit can also do a multi-shot of up to 8 images in total, and that can be really good from that perspective. The need for 6 AA batteries is actually good, although it’s recommended to use Lithium batteries just to be safe. That being said, the Browning Strike Force HD does have a 6-foot camera strap and a metal buckle that does a good job. Rating: 4.4 / 5 Moultrie Game Spy M-990i camera has maybe the nicest design out there. It’s very similar to a tree, which is quite intriguing when you first see it. The trigger can be set at less than a single second and there’s a 50 feet detection range and a 70 feet flash range too. The invisible LED flash technology is quite immersive and it certainly brings in front of a huge range of unique ideas for you to explore. The benefit that comes from using this camera is astonishing, and you will love the tremendous attention to detail and the wonderful features listed in there. The rugged exterior makes this unit really good for outside use, and it certainly comes with some of the coolest benefits and features from something like this. Nothing is impossible when you want high standard trail cameras and this one is indeed among the best out there! So, now that we have been through these 6 models, which one is most likely to be the best suited for? Maybe you have another one in mind for many reasons, whether being about the quality or a lower price? Whatever the reason, I would gladly welcome any suggestions accompanied by the reasons that made you lean towards a specific model. Do not hesitate to share and comment below...

1.3 The Dr. Ann O’Hear Archive: Autobiographical Memoir I specialised in African history as an undergraduate (1962‒1965) at the University of Birmingham, UK, where the Centre of West African Studies was established in 1963 by pioneering historian of West Africa J. D. Fage. Following this, I spent two years as a graduate volunteer teacher in what was then the Mid West of Nigeria (1965‒1967), teaching the new West African history syllabus to school certificate level, as well as other subjects. For some time, up to the outbreak of the Nigerian civil war and the invasion of the Mid West, I was acting principal of my school. I received an MA in African Studies from the Centre of West African Studies, University of Birmingham, UK, in 1969. In 1976, I returned to Nigeria, working as a lecturer in what was then the Kwara State College of Technology, Ilorin, becoming a Principal Lecturer and acting as Head of the History Department from 1980 to 1982. At the same time, I was engaged in studying the economic history of the city of Ilorin and its environs. I spent the year 1983 on study leave, writing up my research, receiving my Ph.D. in History/African Studies in 1984 from the University of Birmingham, where I was one of the last students to be supervised by Professor Fage before his retirement. Building on the research I conducted for my doctorate, I have produced a series of seminar papers, articles, and book chapters on craft industries in the city of Ilorin (production and trade in woven cloth, jasper beads, and pottery), on the city’s intermediary functions, on its agricultural districts, and on the historiography of Ilorin and other parts of Yorubaland. I published a new edition of David Wynford Carnegie’s Letters from Nigeria, 1899‒1900, in 1992. I left the Kwara State College of Technology in 1985, and spent the following 25 years in the USA, where I became Coordinator of Intercultural Studies at Niagara University and also worked in publishing. As Acquisitions Editor for Humanity Books (an imprint of Prometheus Books), Amherst, NY, I was responsible for the publication of works in the imprint’s Classics in Black Studies series. For about 10 years, I was a co-editor of the journal African Economic History. I was encouraged to study slavery by Paul E. Lovejoy (now Distinguished Research Professor and Canada Research Chair in African Diaspora History, York University, Toronto, Canada). Although I did some work on slavery in the early 1980s and it received some coverage in my doctoral thesis, it was only in the mid-1980s that it became my main field of concentration. In 1988, a U.S. Social Science Research Council grant enabled me to conduct research on slavery in Nigeria and in various archives and repositories (I was later aided by a grant from the American Historical Association). Since that time, I have specialised in research on slavery and other forms of dependency in and around the city of Ilorin. I published a monograph, Power Relations in Nigeria: Ilorin Slaves and Their Successors, in 1997. I have also published numerous articles and chapters on slavery and related subjects and given many seminar papers on these topics. I now live in England, and I have been engaged for some years in settling my various research collections in appropriate repositories and working on further projects.

On Shelves Now: Bread & Butter--Gluten-Free Vegan Recipes to Fill Your Bread Basket One of the greatest things one person can do for another is to take something that feels complicated and make it simple, to make the indigestible digestible. Erin McKenna, founder of NYC's BabyCakes Bakery, does just that with her latest cookbook, Bread & Butter. Unlike her previous 2 cookbooks, B&B focuses on what plenty of GF cookbooks fail to address--the savory side of life. The inspiration behind the 75 recipes adorning McKenna's playfully colorful pages stems from years of averting her eyes as the bread basket made it's way around the tables at some of her favorite restaurants. She was tired of missing out on one of human innovation's most glorious gifts (bread) and "set out to create some vegan gluten-free recipes fill the empty bread basket in [her] heart." And she's made it easy enough for you to do the same, should you so desire. Riffing off of the book's title, I decided to make both a bread and McKenna's vegan butter. And given that I went in expecting some sort of mad science experiment, was both shocked and delighted by how ridiculously simple each recipe was. In fact, as long as you follow her instructions, these recipes seem relatively bullet-proof. I'm a skilled baker, but having no dietary restrictions, I have little reason to deliberately foray into gluten-free or vegan alternatives. So for me, the most daunting part of this entire experience was grocery shopping for the ingredients necessary to bake like this (heads up--if you're just breaking into stocking your gluten-free, vegan pantry or only making a recipe to get to know a cool new book... doing so runs a little pricey). That said, if you're a seasoned pro and already happen to have the necessary array of flours and starches on hand, making Mckenna's Focaccia with Onion, Rosemary, and Thyme is an absolute breeze. Dense, tender, chewy, and loaded with aromatic flavor, this loaf was honestly one of the more impressive gluten-free products I've put in my mouth (and I made it!). Likewise, making her butter is simply a matter of giving all of your ingredients a run in the blender and letting the mixture chill. This recipe actually takes me back to my childhood when the day-to-day standard in my house was a "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" sort of spread. Which means, you have rich, creamy goodness going straight from the fridge to your toast, no waiting for a stick to soften. Even better, you actually know and touch every ingredient that goes into your "it's not butter" butter--that's a good feeling. I'm a lady that loves butter to a fault, but I am so OK with what is going on with this coconut and canola-based spread, flavor and texture-wise. A final reiteration--the success you have with this book, like any baking book, relies largely on how well you pay attention to what the author says to you. McKenna says weigh your ingredients, that's how she develops and makes these recipes, so you should do the same. She says to use unscented coconut oil; speaking from experience, I'd say this is a big one if you don't want your final products coming out drenched in coconutty essence (I had trouble finding unscented at my local Whole Foods, so this may be a product you may want to check for online). As long as you read the "Ingredient Assistance" and "Help Desk" sections before diving in, especially if you're just starting your walk on the gluten free path, you will be good to go and carbfully satisfied in no time.

In a large bowl, whisk together the potato starch, flours, arrowroot, sugar, baking powder, salt, yeast, and xanthan gum. Add the lukewarm coconut milk and rice milk, and using a rubber spatula, stir until dough pulls away easily from the sides of the bowl. If the dough is too thin, add 1 tablespoon arrowroot at a time. If the dough is too dry, ass a splash of lukewarm water. Transfer the dough to the cornmeal-lined baking sheet and gently spread it out with your fingertips until the dough is about 1 inch thick and has distinct fingerprint dimples throughout. Brush the dough with oil, cover with a dish towel, and let it rise for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the hardened coconut oil from the refrigerator and break it into pieces approximately 1/2 inch in width. put the coconut oil shards in each dimple in the dough. If there are pieces leftover, push them randomly into the dough. Bake for 15 minutes, and then rotate the baking sheet 180 degrees. Bake until the crust is golden brown, 10 minutes. Remove the foccacia from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before cutting.

Driverless cars are on the fast track to hitting the public roads. It's widely predicted that fully autonomous vehicles will be legal in the United States within the next decade, and perhaps sooner. IHS Automotive forecasts sales of 21 million self-driving cars in the year 2035 and sales of nearly 76 million globally through 2035. The growth opportunities stemming from this enormous technological shift promise to be immense, which is why the major auto companies, big technology players, and others are investing heavily in the space. Two of the best stocks to profit from this trend are NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Neither is a pure play -- there are no pure plays, to my knowledge -- but both promise to have a significant exposure to driverless cars. NVIDIA: An artificial-intelligence play on driverless cars Graphics-chip specialist NVIDIA is not a newcomer to the auto market. Its Tegra processors have been used for some time to power automakers' infotainment and instrument clusters. In the past year, the company has also begun to profit from the race toward fully autonomous vehicles. CFO Colette Kress summed up NVIDIA's progress in this realm during the company's fiscal first-quarter 2018 earnings call: "We are continuing to expand our partnerships with companies using AI [artificial intelligence] to address the complex problem of autonomous driving. Since our DRIVE PX 2 AI car platform began shipping just one year ago, more than 225 car and truck makers, suppliers, research organizations, and start-ups have begun developing with it." Also in May, NVIDIA announced a huge win in the driverless-car space: Toyota will use the DRIVE PX 2 platform to power its autonomous driving systems planned for market introduction. The companies didn't provide specifics, but the fact that Toyota is the No. 1 automaker in the world -- it's recently gained its top spot back from Volkswagen -- provides this partnership with significant growth potential for NVIDIA. In October, electric-vehicle maker Tesla -- which we'll discuss further in a moment -- began using DRIVE PX 2 to power its Autopilot on all Model S and Model X vehicles. Its more affordable Model 3, scheduled for release later this year, will be similarly equipped. Other top automakers partnering with NVIDIA in their self-driving-vehicle initiatives include Volkswagen's Audi unit, Volvo, and Daimler's Mercedes-Benz. NVIDIA expects its DRIVE PX 2 platform to be capable of delivering Level 3 autonomy for cars, trucks, and shuttles by the end of the year, and Level 4 autonomy by the end of 2018. (Level 4 is just one step away from the fully autonomous level.) In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, NVIDIA's auto platform's revenue rose 24% year over year to $140 million, accounting for 7.2% of its total revenue of $1.94 billion. So auto is a relatively small part of the company's business -- which also targets the gaming, data-center, and professional visualization markets -- but it's growing quickly. Tesla: An automaker play on autonomous vehicles As of October, all new Tesla vehicles come equipped with the "hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver," according to Tesla. This includes a new on-board computer that reportedly has "more than 40 times the computing power of the previous generation." It's this computer -- which is powered by NVIDIA's DRIVE PX 2 AI platform -- that makes sense of all the data being taken in by the vision, sonar, and radar systems equipped on the vehicles. Before its NVIDIA partnership, Tesla had been teaming with Israeli company Mobileye on its Autopilot efforts, before the companies' ugly public breakup. (In March, chip giant Intel announced a $15.3 billion deal to buy Mobileye.) No other automaker is currently equipping all its new vehicles with the hardware needed for full self-driving capability. Given Tesla's current lead in this space, it seems likely that it will be a first mover in the auto industry in fully autonomous vehicles, once they become legal on public streets across the country. With the necessary hardware in place, all it should need to do is to continue to send out over-the-air software updates to enable increased Autopilot capabilities. Tesla's top-notch techie chops should provide it with a competitive advantage as cars become more and more like supercomputers on wheels. Tesla is not a pure play on electric vehicles, so it won't be a pure play on driverless cars. The company, which acquired SolarCity last year, is also in the solar energy business -- both generation and storage. However, its auto-manufacturing business accounts for the lion's share of its revenue -- 84.9% of its total revenue of $2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2017 -- and should remain a sizable portion of its overall business. So Tesla should prove to be a considerable play on the burgeoning self-driving-vehicle space for many years. What about Alphabet's Google? Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google has long been the biggest name in driverless cars, as it was a pioneer in this space. Its self-driving-car project -- now called Waymo -- began testing autonomous cars in Mountain View, Calif., in 2009, and is now also testing them on public streets in Kirkland, Wash.; Austin, Texas; and Phoenix. Its fleet has driven more than 3 million miles, mostly on city streets, as of May. Alphabet is a top tech stock, and there are many reasons to favor it. However, as for tech plays, NVIDIA is likely to have a larger exposure to the driverless-vehicle space relative to its overall business. Moreover, NVIDIA is currently profiting from self-driving-car technology with its DRIVE PX 2 AI car platform, whereas Google's not yet making money in this realm.

About Vinh Sang Real estate bubble hard to happen in the next 2 years Le Hoang Chau, President of Ho Chi Minh Real estate Association (HoREA), predicted that the risk of Real estate bubble hard to happen in 2015, even ịn 2016.

In the first 7 months of 2015, HCMC’s real estate market is still on the way to recover, including all of its market segmentation. Immediate and big-scale houses segmentation are the most welcomed.

Analyzing on causes that motivate real estate recover recent times, Mr. Le Hoang Chau pointed out that this was the huge effort of real estate community in re-structuring companies, investments and developing cooperation. On the other hand, the adjusting of laws which impacts on real estate market results a positive prospect: belief of consumers and bank rising make transactions dramatically increase; real estate market is now able to appeal concerns from foreign investments.

Mark Popple took the individual honours for the third successive round after posting his fastest time of the challenge with a return of 27.31. Luke Harrison now has two second spots and a third place after finishing as runner-up behind Popple in a time of 27.53 which was his quickest effort so far.

Business Personal Property WHAT IT IS. Personal Property tax is regulated by the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), chapter 361. All property that is not defined or taxed as "real estate" or "real property" is considered to be "personal property". Taxable personal property includes all property used in conjunction with a business, manufactured homes, aircraft, aircraft hangars, and billboards. The taxation of business personal property has been in effect since Nevada became a state in 1864. The taxes are used to partially fund the expenditures of local governments, such as fire & police departments, parks & recreation, school districts and state bond reduction. Business personal property is reported annually and must include all personal property used in the business on July 1st of the current fiscal year. Tax exempt organizations need to apply for an additional exempt status with the County. For information on applying for exempt status please visit our FAQ page. WHEN AND HOW TO FILE. The 2020/2021 Notice to File your personal property declaration will be mailed by June 15, 2020. Declarations are due by July 31, 2020 or within 15 days of demand, whichever is later. Failure to file a complete asset listing requires the Assessor to make an estimate of your business property's taxable value. Even if your business has no assets or has closed, you still must submit a declaration affirming this. Requests for an extension to file after the deadline is available through our online e-Dec system at https://www.washoecounty.us/assessor/dec. All declarations should be completed online using our e-Dec system at https://www.washoecounty.us/assessor/dec. If you have any questions or require assistance in completing the declaration, please contact the Personal Property Division of the Washoe County Assessor's Office at 775-328-2213. POWER POINT. The Assessor’s Office has put together a PowerPoint presentation to assist you in filing your declaration. After review, if you have any additional questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.org and we will be happy to assist you. TAX BILLS. The Assessor's Office does not issue tax bills or receive tax payments; this is done by the Washoe County Treasurer's Office. Businesses whose assets fall below a minimum value will not receive a bill. The Treasurer issues personal property tax bills monthly between August and May; payments are due 30 days after issue. The Assessor's Office cannot predict in which month you will be billed. Once you have received a tax bill you can view the itemized assessment on e-Dec. To access the assessment you will need the same log-in information (account number & access code) used to file your declaration; your Notice to File contains these numbers. Personal Property - denotes type of property, not ownership. Ad Valorem - "according to value" Assessed Value - Thirty-five (35) percent of the total appraised (taxable) value of the property. This is the value on which taxes are calculated. Depreciation - the estimate of the decrease in value of a wasting asset (not land) due to use, age or obsolescence. Personal property depreciation is calculated according to a schedule approved by the Nevada Tax Commission. Fiscal Year - that period of time from July 1 of one year to June 30 of the following year. Replacement Factor - A factor developed each year by the Department of Taxation to bring the original cost of the personal property to the "replacement cost new." Taxable Value - (personal property) - Original cost x Cost Index Less Depreciation

A key issue for the Federal Trade Commission as it wraps up its investigation of Walgreens (WBA) - Get Report bid for Rite Aid (RAD) - Get Report is whether preferred pharmacy networks, like an exclusive arrangement Humana (HUM) - Get Report has with Walmart (WMT) - Get Report , are viable competitors to broad networks that include all the major pharmacy chains. That issue is central to a dispute between the FTC and Humana Inc. over a subpoena the commission issued to the health insurer. The FTC is seeking documents regarding a preferred pharmacy network Humana offers in some insurance plans that calls for Walmart Stores Inc. to be the sole preferred provider of prescription drugs. The arrangement with the Walmart is one of three preferred plans Humana offers for folks who rely on Medicare Part D for prescription drugs. Rite Aid shares rose 1.8%, or 6 cents, to $3.13 early Friday afternoon. The FTC issued a subpoena to Humana on April 10 seeking extensive details on what it has dubbed the "Walmart Rx Plan." Humana submitted some documents but the FTC said the insurer's compliance has been "token" and on Monday filed an emergency petition in federal district court seeking a judge's order for Humana to fully comply. Humana argues that the information the FTC has requested is either irrelevant to the Rite Aid merger review or is available from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the regulator of Medicare. The FTC said it needs the information because it is trying to discern whether narrow or preferred pharmacy networks like the Walmart RX plan would be viable if they exclude the combined Walgreens-Rite Aid. "Walgreens proposed acquisition of Rite Aid could tip the balance in these reimbursement rate negotiations in its favor, allowing it to command higher reimbursement rates," the FTC said in its petition. "Depending on the geographic area where a plan's customers reside, Walgreens could become so significant that it would become a 'must have' to meet geographic access requirements or to provide the coverage an insurance plan's customers desire. Although the FTC's petition indicates that the agency continues to have reservations about competitors' ability to replace competition from the loss of Rite Aid as an independent player, Andrea Murino, co-chair of of Goodwin Procter LLP's antitrust and competition law practice, warned against assuming the FTC has come to a conclusion on whether to challenge the deal or not. Nevertheless, the subpoena fight is bad news for Walgreens and Rite Aid, she said, because it shows the merging parties have not convinced the commission that their plan to address antitrust concerns is sufficient. In its petition the FTC said it needed Humana's compliance with the subpoena by June 26. A timing agreement between the agency and Walgreens gives the commission until July 7 to seek to challenge the merger in court. Without an FTC decision by then Walgreens is free to consummate the deal.

Things You'll Need Two 8-foot 2x4s Seven 8-foot 1x2s 1 pound of 1 1/4-inch deck screws Gravel - enough to fill 10 inches Circular saw or hand saw Post hole digger or narrow shovel Trellises come in many different types. Some are for fruits and vegetables, some are for vines and other plants that like to grow vigorously, while others are for decoration. Whatever your need is for a trellis, there is always a way you can build it yourself. This article will help you build a trellis specifically designed to go in your garden to help your fruit or vegetable plants find sturdy support or along the side of a wall or fence for vines and other climbing plants. Lay the two 8-foot 2x4s down on a large work table or any solid surface top. Place them so they are 42 inches apart. Cut two of your 8-foot 1x2 boards into 48 inches each (cut them directly in half). This will now give you four 48-inch boards. Using a tape measure, mark 20 inches from the bottom of your 2x4 boards. The bottom is the part that you will stick into the ground to hold it up. Then from the 20-inch mark, measure another 4 inches up and lay your first 4-foot 1x2 board across the two 2x4s in a parallel manner. Space the other three boards 18 inches apart in the same parallel manner. Use a framing square to get a perfect square for each board. Your trellis should now look like a ladder. Using the deck screws and power drill, drill one screw into each side. Turn the trellis over so that the parallel boards that you just screwed into place are now face down on your work table or solid surface. Vertically lay one 1x2 board directly in the middle of the trellis, which would be 24 inches in from each 2x4 board. Move the bottom of the board up to the first parallel board. Screw this board to the parallel 1x4 boards that you just screwed together. Be sure to use a framing square to get a perfect square. This vertical board should now stand 24 inches taller than the rest of the trellis. Cut two more 1x2 boards down to 84 inches. Lay them in the same vertical manner as the first board, only place these two boards on both sides of the first one, centering them 12 inches from each side. Using the deck screws, attach them to the parallel boards that lay behind them. These boards should both stand 12 inches higher than the top parallel board and 12 inches shorter than the tallest vertical board. Flip the trellis over again. Cut two more 1x2 boards into four 30-inch boards and one 8-inch slat. Lay the first 30-inch board 9 inches up from the bottom 48-inch parallel board in the same manner across the back of the three vertical boards that you just screwed into place. Lay the other three 30-inch boards 9 inches up from the other 48-inch parallel boards. Screw them into place, making sure they are perfectly square with the framing square. Attach the 8-inch slat to the top of the tallest vertical board. Using a post hole digger or shovel, dig two 25-by-6-inch holes. Place approximately 5 inches of gravel in the bottom of the hole. The gravel will help your trellis to stay in place and not sink or shift as the soil gets wet. Place trellis posts into holes and replace dirt around the post and pack heavily. If you are wanting or needing a more sturdy hole, fill the holes in with cement once you have placed trellis into the ground. Allow to dry for 24 hours.

Imagine yourself in the seventh grade. Got the picture? Now try to recall your greatest dreams from that time and the people or events that inspired you to chase them. For many of us, these aspirations and influences have changed drastically over the years. But for Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) soloist Margaret (a.k.a. Maggie) Mullin, one of those teenage dreams is on its way to fulfillment as she, in collaboration with filmmaker Nel Shelby, documents the story of dancer, choreographer and AIDS awareness advocate Ian “Ernie” Horvath. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1943, Horvath studied at the School of American Ballet and several other prestigious classically oriented institutions before he launched his professional career at the Joffrey Ballet and on Broadway, in such musicals as Sweet Charity and Funny Girl. He later joined American Ballet Theatre, where he met Dennis Nahat, the future business partner with whom he would found the Cleveland Ballet, in 1972. It was Horvath’s first creation for the company, Laura’s Women, that captured the attention of a 13-year-old Mullin several decades later. “I had never seen anything like it, especially in its content,” she explains. “His movement is so beautiful, very grounded and expressive. I tend, as a dancer, to be drawn to works that tell powerful stories. This story, even though it’s not a happy one, makes me reflect a lot on life.” Mullin knew nothing about the choreographer at the time — had never even heard his name — but the poignant piece stuck with her even as she entered the ranks of PNB, years later. At first, her only aim was to put this seldom-performed work on film. A felicitous meeting with a ballet teacher from her formative years in Tucson, however, set the wheels in motion for a feature-length documentary on Horvath, who died of AIDS at the early age of 46, and his important but little-known role in dance history. “Initially, I met with my teacher and his sister just to talk about what it would take to get Laura’s Women on film,” Mullin recalls. “But they ended up having this in-depth conversation about Ian in front of me, and I learned so much about him that I never would have known. It blew my mind to think I’d never heard of him. It became clear to me that there was an incredible story to be told, and I took it upon myself to tell it.” A 2011 recipient of a fellowship from the Princess Grace Foundation, Mullin turned to an acquaintance within the organization for guidance. Enter Shelby, a dancer-turned-dance filmmaker who was then, serendipitously enough, in the process of expanding her repertoire beyond performance coverage to include documentary work. Although Mullin intended to ask Shelby only for a consultation, she walked away from their first phone call with a co-director and a new friend. “She’s so passionate that you just can’t say no to her,” remarks Shelby of Mullin. “But I was also interested in the project because my dad’s brother died of AIDS in 1988. I was in sixth grade, and it was a really big deal. Years later, I found out what had caused his death. My parents hadn’t wanted to tell us because they were afraid the kids at school would think we were gross or infected. They were trying to protect us.” Like Shelby’s uncle, Horvath passed away at the height of the AIDS crisis in the U.S. In the late 1980s, the well-loved dancer became a spokesperson for those living with the illness, striving to dispel the myths surrounding it. He also spearheaded fundraisers such as “Dancing for Life”, a live event held at Lincoln Center, in 1987, and appeared on an AIDS awareness television program produced by Eye on Dance, in 1988. He developed his last creation, No Dominion, on the Limón Dance Company, and it reflects the health struggles of his final years. But Mullin and Shelby stress that their film goes beyond recounting Horvath’s personal and public battle against AIDS. As associate director of the Carlisle Project, he assisted founder Barbara Weisberger in providing avenues for ballet dancers to become choreographers in the classical lexicon. He was also involved with the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ohio Arts Council and New York City Center as a dance advisor of sorts. And his work as chairman of Dance/USA led to the posthumous conception of the Ernie, an annual award presented, in Horvath’s memory, to a figure in the dance world who demonstrates a passionate commitment to the art form. “Ian is such an important part of our dance history,” says Mullin. “It’s because of people like him that people like me are able to have successful, well-funded careers in dance now. He was one of the people who helped establish a future for dance in this country. This is a film of true gratitude for making our careers possible.” With Horvath’s devotion to the strength and growth of the national dance community in mind, Mullin is keen to incorporate as many artists and companies as possible into the project. Rather than rely on a narrator to steer the film, she and Shelby have chosen to convey Horvath’s story through interviews with those who loved him, along with the full presentation of his first and last works. The latter half of this undertaking came to fruition earlier this year, when dancers from five American companies — PNB, Joffrey Ballet, Boston Ballet, Ballet Tucson and Verb Ballets — joined the documentary team in Seattle to put Laura’s Women and No Dominion on film. Leading the restaging process were Verb Ballets Artistic Director Dr. Margaret Carlson, a close friend of Horvath and a regisseur of his work, and PNB Ballet Master Paul Gibson. Shelby’s husband, photographer Christopher Duggan, also got in on the act, capturing the striking images seen here. “The two weeks we spent filming in Seattle was such a dream,” recalls Shelby — high praise from a woman who has been the official videographer for the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival for 15 years and whose client list also include the Vail International Dance Festival and the Joyce Theater (to name only a few). “Maggie and I completely clicked. We had such a rich, inspiring time together. And it was great to see Maggie in Laura’s Women. She’s loved this piece since she was 13 years old. To watch her learn it in the studio from someone who originated the role, then perform it — that was such a powerful experience.” Of course, this elaborate endeavor had its costs. Securing the necessary backing required no small amount of energy and grit from Mullin, who took a chance on a crowd-funding campaign and made a cold call to a media production company supporting the LGBTQ community. “To fund the dance portion, it was a third Kickstarter, two-thirds working with a wonderful organization called Three Dollar Bill Cinema, which became our fiscal sponsor and also offered to premiere the film, ” Mullin relates. “I threw a fundraiser in Seattle and reached out to donors and businesses as well. Within about a five-month span, we raised a little over $30,000 to cover the restaging. It was very nerve-wracking, and there was a lot of pressure, especially because I dance full-time. But luckily, I met my goals.” With the performance segments wrapped up, Mullin and Shelby are now focused on recording interviews (which will require additional fundraising) and weaving all of their materials together into a cohesive whole. They aim to complete the process by the middle of next year — an ambitious deadline for the perpetually busy pair but one that the enterprising Mullin, who is no stranger to elbow grease, is determined to meet. “I grew up behind the scenes a lot at my home studio,” says Mullin. “My mom helped at the front desk, and I was on a work scholarship in order to pay for classes. That experience gave me a unique perspective that a lot of young dancers don’t get on what it takes to keep an arts organization afloat — how many hours, how much dedication, how much love it takes from the people who are running it. Ian’s story is so important in that way. It is a true reminder of the kind of passion that is required to keep the arts growing in the United States. That’s really important for me to share with people.” For more information on No Dominion: The Ian Horvath Story and to contribute to the project, click here. By Leah Gerstenlauer of Dance Informa.

Description: This command is used to import a terrain model from a GeoTIFF or ARC/INFO ASCII GRID file. Usage: When called without arguments, it will open the same tab as the menu option to continue the process. The command can also be called with command line arguments. In this case, it will need to be called the following way: importTerrain -p "path to file" centerX centerY centerZ verticalExaggeration pointSkip These parameters are the same shown in the Import Terrain panel when accessing this function from the menu: - Center: Specifies the location at which the terrain will be centered in the geometry panel. - Point skip: In some cases, terrain models will have too many points. This may cause the graphical user interface to lag due to the excessive computational resources needed to render the terrain model. This field indicates how many columns/rows of the terrain model are skipped between two succesively rendered columns/rows. For instance, a value of 0 indicates that all points will be rendered, while a value of 2 indicates that the GUI will render one column/row of points, ignore the following two columns/row, render the next one and so on. - Vertical exaggeration: Sometimes, the area of the terrain model is much greater than the variations of height of the same terrain model, making those variations of height unappreciable. This field allows the user to specify how many times the vertical features of the terrain model are amplified, so visually it's easier to identify the relief of the terrain model. In case the file is Ascii Grid (.asc), 3 extra parameters are necessary. The command must be called as shown: importTerrain -p "path to file" projectionType angularFactor (latitude | linearfactor) centerX centerY centerZ verticalExaggeration pointSkip - ProjectionType: Type of representation of the terrain. It can be projected on a plane (p) or represented on the earth's surface (g). - AngularFactor: conversion factor of the angular units. It must be specified in degrees. - Latitude: In case it is a geological representation: Medium latitude of the location of the terrain. - LinearFactor: In case it is a projection: conversion factor of the linear units. It must be specified in meters.

If your in New Mexico or planning to drive around the Land of Enchantment, taking in all the wonderful scenery and culture our state provides, consider contacting your favorite Jeweler/Artist for a Studio Visit. Most of them may be willing to make time for clients, friends, new acquaintances to come by and see where there creations come alive. I always have creations working and items available to the public. Feel free to contact me at email@example.com for Studio Visits (by appointment only). You can also shop available work while here and order custom items in my Square Market Page. As well as visit any of the wonderful Gallery’s that carry my work .. Here is one of my latest creations. A Contemporary Belt buckle consisting of sterling silver, Black Jade and Coral. The “Spyderweb” texture on the silver is unique, all components of the buckle are hand fabricated and asselmbeled by myself. Texturing is done by placing a patterning medium ( canvas, screen, manila folder etc.) with a piece of annealed silver and putting it through a rolling mill, transferring the pattern onto the metal. Brighter results are achieved by pre polishing the silver prior to rolling. On one of my journeys to Santa Fe, I went to Tom Taylor shop in the La Fonda hotel. There you can find a slew of fine quality leather belts, sterling silver jewelry, buckles out of sterling silver, stainless steel and titanium. Along with many other fine quality leather goods. While there we (Philip and I) chatted about the new and exciting items I will be making for them, to have in the shop during the Santa Fe Indian Market festival. Some of the items they will have but not limited to: new earrings , M&M pendents, Dogtags and some inlayed buckles.. As always I had a great time talking shop with Philip and Kim Spiers. During my visit Jessica, employee for Tom Taylor took that opportunity to snap a few pictures of me in front of the shop. We had fun laughing on San Francisco street while people passed by wondering about the photos being taken. Recently I took some time off to have my tonsils removed. Which allowed me to relax and take things slow. After recovering I made my way back into the studio. Things were slow to start, but my time away has brought up some new ideas. Here is one such design that has come to light . I still haven’t come up with a name for it yet, so in the time being it will be ” Black Jade and Diamond cuff “. It started almost 13 months ago, when I was working on a cabochon of black jade, natural Royston turquoise and coral. Spending only a few hours to cut, slab and polish these stones to create the interesting cabochon above. It sat on my desk staring me down and wondering where it would lead too next.. As time passed it was shuffled from place to place, until last week. I began to work on a silver cuff, texturing, forming, sanding and polishing the piece. When I remembered one of my recent sketches, that incorporated a cabochon of similar shape and design. The decision was made, I would combine the two. I started on the setting for the cabochon and braised it onto the new silver cuff slightly risen and off center. This design element took advantage of the rule of thirds (which I use in a majority of my work), thought to me by another great artist, teacher and friend Mrs. Jean Thurow. Next I created the seating for the 6 diamonds (2mm, 0.24 tcw) and set them into the cuff. The final stage would be to set the cabochon, this would be done by chasing the silver bezel around the stone. After one last polish and cleaning all the elements had fallen into place. At last, It was complete. Thank you to everyone who assisted in my recovery and all who wished me well and a speedy recovery. I would like to extend my gratitude to the family, friends, patrons, new acquaintances and the Guild, for an outstanding show this year.. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without all of you… Thanks Congratulations to the Award winners, as well as all who participated.. As for myself, I didn’t make it the Preview night to see the award winners. I’m sure it was awesome… but I did get the good news from my brother Pat on some of the winners.

Covid-19 Restrictions to Lunch Offering Important Information Regarding School Menus During COVID-19At this moment in time, we currently aren’t running on a site specific menu. This is due to current Covid restrictions that are affecting the availability of products from our suppliers.We are currently offering a grab and go service from our main counter including a variety of school meal favourites.We still have our stand alone food areas available with options that change daily, these areas are as follows:• Pasta King,• Theos• Chicken shack• Panini Station• Spice Club We are hoping to have our Mexican outlet (amigos) also available again in the future. It is currently unavailable due to both school and supplier restrictions and policies designed to keep everyone safe. We hope to return to our standard menus and lunchtime offering (as seen below) as soon as we are able. Standard Lunch Offering Many pupils enjoy having lunch with friends in our restaurant where they can relax and eat healthily. A range of hot and cold dishes and snacks can be purchased at set prices. Our restaurant and food stations are open at break and lunchtimes. Only Year 11 & 10 pupils are permitted to remain in the restaurant and use the seating there over break time, though all year groups may purchase food at this time. Satellite food stations are also open to provide quick meals just off of the main yard (Amigos) and in our serving hatches in the Year 7 quad . There is also a dedicated food outlet in our sixth form cafe (The Hub) for sixth form students only. Pupils who prefer to bring a packed lunch are welcome to eat in the main restaurant. Pupils are supervised at lunchtimes by our team of lunchtime supervisors, senior staff and active lunchtime staff. Year 7-11 pupils are not permitted to leave the premises during lunchtime. Sixth form pupils may leave for their lunch but must deposit their identity card on their way out and collect it upon their return. Below you will find a full list of pricing for the different food items available in school. We operate a cashless lunch system where students pay for their meals using a biometric thumb print. The thumb print is linked to an account that parents can top-up online via parent pay or by the students themselves using the coin operated machines in school. Menus of what is being served on any particular day are available outside each food outlet, with a large variety of food, including vegetarian and Halal options available everyday. Pre ordering is still available to 6th formers at the Hub. We ask that if a student wishes to pre-order an item from the main canteen/restaurant, that they do so by 10am at the counter.

The Inner Lives of Passively Suicidal Americans: Why Racism Isn't Just Bad for Black People Monday, September 24, 2018 Roosevelt House, 47-49 E 65th St, New York, NY 10065 The Anthropology Section Inequalities are increasing locally and globally on a vast scale. At the same time that these disparities, which are experienced by racialized groups, certain nationalities, by women, poor people, immigrants and the elderly, are explained by media and politicians as the natural and unavoidable order of things. How are we to understand these relationships between untold wealth and growing immiseration? How do we understand the way the stories about inequality are told? Who has access to information about the production of inequality? Who is able to contest its production? Often inequality and equality are researched and discussed in isolation. Yet, anthropological research in archeology, linguistics, human biology, and socio-cultural anthropology has the capacity to both document the grim actualities of the current conjuncture and to show how inequality is linked to systems of production, distribution and domination. Both in the past and present the issues of the equality and inequality are inextricably linked and connected to the way the way disparities are explained, legitimated, and turned into the taken-for-granted. This lecture series takes a global perspective on the entanglements of wealth, poverty, and inequality as well as the popularization of narratives of inevitable disparity and the silencing of struggles for social justice and equality. Speakers will explore these entanglement including the human experience and materiality of equality, their mediation through different channels of communication, their ideological justifications through concepts of race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, hereditary, class and status, and the punitive power to enforce these ideas through incarceration, surveillance, criminalization. We ask how knowledge about power and inequality empowers resistance and struggle. Location: Roosevelt House, 47-49 E 65th St, New York, NY 10065 A dinner and wine reception will precede the talk. Buffet dinner begins at 5:45 PM. ($20 contribution for dinner guests/free for students). Lectures begin at 6:30 PM and are free and open to the public, but registration is required.

10 Questions For Kevin Godley I finally got a chance to interview a member of the legendary band 10cc. The opportunity never presented itself until now. Kevin Godley and Graham Gouldman have five new tracks for download only on their site www.gg06.co.uk. I don't do interviews that often but I have to say that this was one of the very best. Sit back and enjoy some memories with Kevin Godley and step into the future with their new tracks online... MuzikMan: Kevin it feels like I am talking to an old friend! We go back to the days when I got the How Dare You album on vinyl LP from a record club! Since then I have been a huge fan. Actually I first heard Rubber Bullets when I was a junior in High School and was ready to consume everything I could get my hands on by 10cc and then Godley & Creme. I am sure you run into many folks that relate to you this way? Kevin Godley: Hello old friend. Good to be talking to you. Lovely, black, thin, precious vinyl. I think the rings of Saturn are made of vinyl. Re: meeting fans. Not that many. The occasional cabbie or train passenger. It’s wonderful though. Those who do care and remember care and remember passionately. I think we touched a small nerve but, for some, touched it quite profoundly. MuzikMan: The last 10cc studio album was the 1992 release Meanwhile. This release was an import only and seems to have disappeared into obscurity for some reason and actually is not even listed a main album release on sites like the All Music Guide. I remember the drummer Jeff Porccaro (Toto) dying tragically after this album was recorded. So it looks as though I have a rare recording on my hands now as I cannot find it anywhere. Can you talk about what happened with that gem of an album and how it all came together? Kevin Godley: I wasn’t involved with the making of this album at all so I know very little about how it was put together. I was simply asked to sing lead vocal on one song and was flown to NY to record it. The three of us had a lovely reunion breakfast on day one. As I recall all the basic tracks had already been recorded so it was myself, Graham, Eric and producer Gary Katz for two vocal heavy days. I do recall a strange atmosphere in the studio. An intangible awkwardness. Everything sounded ‘great’ everyone got on ‘great’ but there was an essential ingredient missing. I also sensed G and E growing apart. Gary Katz was acting as a political as well as creative buffer keeping personalities as well as music on course. I’ve never actually heard the complete album although I did enjoy singing “The Stars Didn’t Show.” MuzikMan: Now it’s Godley & Gouldman, what happened to Lol Creme? Is he off producing artists and their videos and other multimedia projects? Kevin Godley: Lol paints. He’s also involved with a Trevor Horne music project called “The Producers.” That’s all I know. MuzikMan: I remember when “Cry” came out from Changing Faces and how groundbreaking the title track video was and from that point you and Lol were pioneers in the multimedia industry. What do you see as the cutting edge technologies that have changed the music industry since those days when the video’s really started taking hold during the MTV age? Kevin Godley: “Cry” is one of my favorites. We were in our pomp on that one. New tech… Many devices and techniques like CGI, Q Base style music technology, non-linear video editing, digital filmmaking tools, ipods, blah blah. G + C’s old maxim: ‘If you can think of it, it can be done’ is now easier to achieve than ever. Meanwhile the internet, undoubtedly, has had the biggest effect on the cultural landscape. Now anyone can do anything and be seen and heard by a vast global community. I sometimes wonder how the quality of work will change if the line between artist and audience blurs any further. Right now everything’s cool and new but there’s a danger that the vocabulary of creativity may shrink to fit. I tend to function in a ‘less is more’ world so I’m a bit skeptical about where it’s headed. ‘More is less’ could get messy…Discuss. MuzikMan: Will there ever be a 10cc reunion and the chances of boxed set coming out with rarities and such? I have been waiting forever for this to happen, is there hope for either events to take place? Kevin Godley: Graham takes a version of 10cc on the road every year. This year I joined him at two gigs and sang “Old Wild Men” and new song “Beautifulloser.com.” I think that’s as close as we’ll get but it was an amazing experience to revisit after thirty years. MuzikMan: What was your favorite 10cc album to record? Kevin Godley: Sheet Music, definitely, because we’d really started to explode creatively and didn’t recognize any boundaries. We were buzzing on each other and exploring our joint and individual capabilities. Lots of excitement and energy at those sessions and, more importantly, an innocence that was open to anything. MuzikMan: Looking back in retrospect now do you think all of the Godley & Creme recordings were a direct extension of the 10cc art form and style? Personally I love all that music because it does keep me connected to all the old 10cc releases and makes me want to listen again. Do you find this kind of reaction to your work typical? Kevin Godley: 10cc taught us how to be ourselves, musically, so any work informed by those years would absolutely be a direct extension. Strange then that G+C’s first excursion into the unknown was an indirect contraction called Consequences. Con Sequences was our ‘Heaven’s Gate.” Great launch party, though. The bigger picture was about freedom from cheese and more emphasis on experiment. At least that’s how it felt back then. We eventually re-discovered our natural musical habitat with L and beyond. I guess however far one strays from an intrinsic style, if it comes from the same people, those who are listening closely enough will be able to join the musical / emotional dots. MuzikMan: I see you are right in step with the times releasing your music independently and for download now. Do you feel this is in not only in direct response to what the market dictates but something you have embraced and feel excited about? Kevin Godley: It’s so clean and direct, particularly for artists with less obvious commercial appeal. If you’re interested in G+G we have a little shop selling G+G things. Come in, browse around. If we’re talking Art versus Commerce, record labels are 100% about COMMERCE. Godley / Gouldman / GG/06 doesn’t scream COMMERCE. Whether it screams ART is not for us to say. I like to think we’re, at least, whispering it in your ear. MuzikMan: Do you think the major labels have a fighting chance now with the way indie music has torn down the traditional distribution model and rebuilt it? Kevin Godley: Maybe. If the big boys learn to listen and take chances again. If they ditch the purely corporate mentality and get rebooted by people with vision. A few more Chris Blackwell’s, circa 2007, wouldn’t go amiss. MuzikMan: In closing Kevin I would like to give you heartfelt thanks from a lifetime fan for your time. What do all of us diehards have to look forward to in the coming year from you and Graham? Kevin Godley: My pleasure. Thank you. It’s good to know people are still listening. I hope we can deliver. Expect more music, obviously. Perhaps some film / video stuff. Lots of ideas in the air. We’re not fast, though. Diehards may die before we complete an album’s worth. As of now we only have 5 tracks for download but we’re proud of them. As ever, GG/06 is a further direct extension but, in my opinion, this one has a little more bite and focus than last time around. If you want to know / hear more www.gg06.co.uk is the place to go. Bye for now… Interview Granted By Kevin Godley With His Permission To Publish And Distribute 2007

LatinaLista — The initial analyses of Latino voter turnout in last night’s midterm elections are filtering in and there’s an overriding consensus being developed — Latino voters turned out, in some races, in unprecedented numbers for a midterm election and it made a difference. According to election eve polling by Latino Decisions, Latino turnout increased from 2006 to 2010 in double digits. In Nevada, in the hotly contested race between Sen. Harry Reid and Sharron Angle, Latinos comprised 15 percent of the total electorate – giving Reid 90 percent of the Latino vote. An analysis by New Policy Institute Quite literally, Reid has Latino voters to thank for keeping his seat in the Senate. But the Nevada race wasn’t the only state where Latino voters answered their civic call. The Pew Hispanic Center released today The Latino Vote in the 2010 Elections report. They report that overall while Latino voters helped Democrats like Reid win, more also voted Republican, compared to 2006. National House exit poll results show that Democrats had a nearly two-to-one advantage — 64% vs. 34% — over Republicans in U.S. House races among Latino voters. It’s an ironic reality given the fact that those Latinos who won a high office like governor or senator were Latino Republicans. Yet, an interesting finding by Latino Decisions shows that these Latino GOP didn’t necessarily garner more of the Latino vote. For example, in New Mexico, the winner Susana Martinez only got 38 percent of the Latino vote while her Democratic opponent received double that amount — 61 percent. In Florida, it was a different story. Republican Marco Rubio sailed to victory on the votes of Florida’s Cuban-American constituency. However, Cuban-Americans, who heavily populate the state, have always identified more with Republicans and have voted accordingly. In hindsight, if two observations were to be made about last night’s elections: 1. Latino candidates are showing they have enough cross-over appeal and acceptance to win without the Latino vote. 2. The “Sleeping Giant” has truly awoken and there’s no holding it back any longer. Andres Ramirez of New Policy Institute has created an initial analysis of the Latino share of the electorate in some races last night. What is clearly shown (in the above graphics) is that all the hype about Latinos being so disillusioned they wouldn’t turn out was nothing but a nasty rumor to probably discourage Latino voters from even trying. As the graphics illustrate, there is only direction Latinos are moving — forward.

Elon Musk Tweets Official SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch Date Elon Musk made it official on Saturday afternoon. The first flight of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will be on Tuesday, February 6 from launchpad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Musk shared the news in a tweet, noting that launchpad 39A has “easy viewing from the public causeway.” On Friday, the rumored date cropped up on Twitter from space journalists but officials with SpaceX or NASA couldn’t confirm the date. As of Saturday, Inverse understands that no launch time has been announced as of yet. When it launches, the Falcon Heavy will be the “most powerful rocket in the world,” say SpaceX officials. Its first stage is made up of a combined three Falcon 9 engine cores and 27 Merlin engines. “With more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff — equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft at full power — Falcon Heavy will be the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two,” the company has said. This past Wednesday, the rocket had its static fire test — the powering all of the engines of a rocket but not actually launching it — conducted as a precursor to the Falcon Heavy’s maiden voyage, which Musk said then would be in “a week or so,” on Twitter. Here’s that static fire test: Earlier this year, SpaceX shared impressive drone footage of the rocket system, which has been upright on the launchpad since late December. So what will the launch look like? This animation from 2015 shows what SpaceX thinks the launch — and landing of three rocket boosters back on Earth — will look like: If all goes as planned, and the rocket doesn’t blow up on the launch pad or during ascent, the three boosters will all land back on Earth. The center core will land on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You off the coast of Florida, and the two side boosters will land on pads at Cape Canaveral, Florida, near the launch site. In July, Musk teased what we can expect for the inaugural launch of the Falcon Heavy, at the 2017 ISS R&D Conference in Washington, D.C. He had this wry line to sum up his feelings on the entire project: “Major pucker factor.” Here’s video of that moment: “There’s, like, a lot that can go wrong there,” Musk said at the time. He encouraged people to come down to Florida to watch the launch, though. “It’s guaranteed to be exciting,” he said. Musk reiterated those cautious — this-thing-might-explode — comments in early January in an same Instagram update: “Excitement on launch day guaranteed, one way or another.” The new rocket has been a long time coming. Musk first announced the Falcon Heavy in April 2011 with a 2013 launch date. This date slipped after it became apparent that the company couldn’t strap three Falcon 9 rockets together and call it a day, with the Falcon Heavy’s development shifting into a far more complex affair. The approximate launch date was then moved to September 2017 and eventually to January and now to February 6, 2018. Weirdly, the payload on this test mission will be Musk’s midnight cherry-colored Tesla Roadster: Its stereo will be playing “Space Oddity” by David Bowie, and the car will be sent on an orbit around the Sun along Mars’ orbit. Anyone who thought Musk was joking was proven wrong with this photo of the car inside the payload fairing.

It’s been 20 years since Incubus debuted their first album, Enjoy Incubus. And it turns out, our unwavering love for the California rockers has stood the test of time, just as they have. Now, Brandon Boyd and company are back and ready to blow our minds with the April 21 release of their 10th studio record, 8. In honor of their triumphant return, here are multiple reasons we still think they're, ahem, stellar. They Taught Us About Outer Space No other band made childhood dreams of taking off in rocketships destined for the stars still seem feasible quite like Incubus with 1999’s “Stellar." In addition to the lyrics that painted a vivid description of what life amid the cosmos would be like, they included every whir and beep that you’d imagine hearing aboard a ship. With lyrics like “Meet me in outerspace/We could/spend the night, watch the Earth come up/I've grown tired of that place, won't you come with me/We could start again" offer an invite no one could pass up. Especially if Brandon Boyd is the one asking. They Aren't Afraid to Get Political The release of 2004’s “Megalomaniac” had wondering if the band had picked up where Rage Against the Machine and Public Enemy left off. Nearing the end of former President George W. Bush’s first term and three years after 9/11, sleuths were pretty certain that the confrontational lyrics were directed specifically toward our 43rd president. However, the band claims that the message wasn’t meant for any one real-lifer person, but rather it's based off Steve Martin’s villainous character from The Three Amigos. No one is buying it, but we like his appreciation for cinematic comedy. They Improved Our Vocabulary On 2000’s “Pardon Me,” Boyd geniusly detailed the plight of a man so burdened and stressed out from the monotonous drama of everyday life that he welcomes the idea of spontaneous human combustion with open arms. Talk about going out in a blaze of glory. Using precise and poetic rhyming skills that plenty of rappers lack, he flexes his vocabulary and science muscles in order to school his listeners on the the phenomenon and the importance of good mental health. 2001’s “Drive” was a nice change of pace from the usual bunch of happy, overly peppy anthems about the future. What made it so unique were Boyd’s admissions about letting fear run his life and self-accountability in lyrics such as “It’s driven me before/And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal/But lately I am beginning to find/That I should be the one behind the wheel.” The message is simple, and even so, to say that “whatever tomorrow brings/I'll be there with open arms and open eyes” takes a lot of courage and inspired a lot of people. The stripped down acoustic guitar and subtle DJ contributions give the song a more intimate, confessional feel. Their Effortless Fusion of Multiple Genres Sometimes the ambition of a band to experiment with different sounds isn’t well-conceived, but the way Incubus blended funk, jazz, metal, hip hop, electronic and psychedelic music was flawless. Not only were they able to do it from song to song, as they did with 2004's "Wish You Were Here," but also from album to album without batting an eyelash or resulting in uproar from fans. The flexibility in their sound granted them the freedom to record whatever they wanted, earning them Top 20 hits — and certifying several as platinum. They Were a Part of the Nu Metal Craze Long before they were serenading newer generations with more lovey-dovey lyrics, Incubus was rocking out hard in 1997 with their sophomore album, S.C.I.E.N.C.E., or Sailing Catamarans Is Every Nautical Captain's Ecstasy. Albeit strangely titled, the certified gold album garnered a lot of attention, selling over 100,000 copies and landing them a bunch of sweet gigs, such as touring with some of nu metal’s biggest heavyweights Korn, 311 and System of a Down. Most importantly, Boyd had dreadlocks. They Encouraged Us to Live Life to the Fullest Across all of their albums, one thing that remains constant is Boyd’s message to not take life for granted and to live it to the absolute fullest. While he often sings about the perils of society’s shortcomings and life on Earth in general, he notes that we only have one chance to experience what we can while we have the opportunity, otherwise we’ll spend eternity enduring the absolute worst case of FOMO. So heed Boyd’s words and make the most of this fragile human existence. They Have Style After breaking into the industry and finding mainstream success with Make Yourself, Incubus earned a spot more coveted in Hollywood than any red carpet: They were given a segment on MTV's Cribs. Airing on March 6, 2001, the band showed off their finest, Buddhist-inspired household decor, complete with candles, statues of the deity himself, and the HGTV lover’s dream — a hidden crawl space below the stairs decked out with silken scarves, incense and every other extravagances that call to mind a Bedouin tent described in 1001 Arabian Nights. Whether they're traveling or embarking on a tour, they make T-shirts and flowing locks look good. These gentlemen are the epitome of style. Keep Phoenix New Times Free...

Six parish football players make All-Metro The Baton Rouge area All-Metro football teams were released recently, and six players from Ascension Parish made the cut. Five of those players were named to the Class 5A & 4A squad. Leading the charge was Dutchtown junior running back Dylan Sampson. Not only was Sampson a first-team selection, but he was also named the All-Metro squad's Outstanding Offensive Player. Even in a season that was reduced to just eight games, Sampson still managed to rush for 1,357 yards and 15 touchdowns. Prior to earning these All-Metro honors, Sampson was named the District 5-5A Offensive MVP and the Ascension Parish Offensive MVP. He was also a first-team selection on the Louisiana Sports Writers Association's All-State 5A team. Paving the way all season for Sampson was offensive lineman Matt Gallman. Gallman was named to the first team of the All-Metro squad. Gallman was also a first-team all-district and All-Parish selection. Sampson and Gallman helped lead Dutchtown to a 5-1 regular season. They hosted and won a first-round playoff game against Terrebonne. It was the program's first postseason victory in three years. They eventually fell in the second round to a highly-seeded Destrehan squad. East Ascension had three players make the All-Metro first team. Senior defensive lineman Jerrell Boykins, Jr. made it. The Louisiana Tech signee finished the year with 35 tackles and five sacks. Another Spartan that made it from the defensive side was junior linebacker Rionte Jones. For the season, Jones had 63 tackles, three sacks and three interceptions. Offensively, senior lineman Gavin Soniat made the first unit. All three players were also first-team all-district and All-Parish selections. Boykins and Soniat were honorable-mention selections on the LSWA All-State team. East Ascension went 4-3 during the regular season and hosted a first-round playoff game. There, they beat Captain Shreve. It was the fifth year in a row that the Spartans won at least one postseason game. The Spartans were eliminated by top seed and eventual state champion Acadiana in the second round. The Outstanding Defensive Player on the 5A & 4A squad was Catholic's Michael Cerniauskas, and the Coach of the Year was Catholic's Gabe Fertitta. The Bears took home the Division-I state championship this past season. One parish payer made the 3A and Below All-Metro squad. That distinction went to Ascension Catholic junior defensive lineman J'Mond Tapp. Tapp only played in six games this season, but he was still able to pile up 64 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. As a result, he was named the District 7-1A Defensive MVP and the Ascension Parish Defensive MVP. Tapp was also an honorable-mention selection on the LSWA All-State squad. Recently, Tapp has been flooded with scholarship offers from big-time SEC programs that include LSU, Alabama and Florida. He is ranked by Rivals as the sixth-best prospect in the state for 2022. Tapp and the Bulldogs finished with an undefeated regular season in 2020, and they won their second straight district championship. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, they were upset by Cedar Creek in the opening round of the postseason. The 3A and Below All-Metro team's Outstanding Defensive Player went to Sai'vion Jones of St. James. The defensive end is an LSU signee. The Outstanding Offensive Player was Madison Prep quarterback Zeon Chriss, and the Coach of the Year was Madison Prep's Landry Williams. The Chargers rolled to a Class 3A state title this past season.

The Judy Garland Online Discography is a “subsite” of The Judy Room. It was created by myself in 2005 with the invaluable help of the late Eric Hemphill plus many contributions from Mike Siewert, Kim Lundgreen, Rick Smith, and many more donations made by so many wonderful Friends of The Judy Room. The Discography has grown into the largest of its kind, with over 2,500 pages – and counting! The look and navigation on the Discography is completely different than the rest of the site. The pages are static, not responsive, which is best considering that although they’re full of images they also have many specially formatted tables of data for each entry. Also note that if an album had subsequent re-releases, those are included on the main page of that album in the form of thumbnails with links to pages for each of those alternate and re-release versions. Use the links above to check out all the Discography has to offer, Judy Garland recordings are vast. Most people think of Garland as a film star, not realizing that she had a long and successful recording career. In fact, she was one of the youngest artists (at age 13) ever to be signed by a major record label (Decca Records). Garland spent over 10 years with Decca, then another 10+ years under contract to Capitol Records. In between the two, she recorded four sides for Columbia Records in 1953, and in 1947 M-G-M Records began releasing many of her film soundtrack recordings. As if that isn’t enough, much of her non-label work on radio, television and in concert has also been released. To say that Judy Garland had one of the most prolific recording careers in the history of American music would be an understatement. Over the years, literally hundreds of records and CDs have been released, and yet there is still a large number of recordings that have yet to be officially released. Most of this unreleased material is Judy’s radio work, a very underrepresented yet still important facet of her recording history. Even an album as big as the document of her historic 1964 concert with daughter Liza Minnelli (Judy Garland And Liza Minnelli Live At The London Palladium) has yet to be officially remastered and released complete on CD, although an expanded version of the original abridged LP release was remastered for CD in 2010. Obviously there are still many releases waiting “in the wings.” Even so, what has been released is an amazing output of work by any standard. As you browse these pages, keep in mind that what is represented here is approximately a little over 3/4 of Judy Garland’s recorded work. As more of her undiscovered and unreleased work is presented to the public The Judy Garland Online Discography will continue to bring you the most up-to-date and current news and information on all Judy Garland recordings. Garland’s official recording career began in 1935 at the age of 13, and lasted right up to her death in 1969. Technically her recording career began in 1929 when she made her first short subject film. These early sound-era films recorded everything live on-set onto discs. Although the film for several of these shorts has been lost, the discs remain and give us peek at Garland’s precociousness at a mere 7 years-old. Click here for detailed information about these shorts. Garland recorded singles and albums for Decca Records, Columbia Records, Capitol Records, and ABC Records. Many other labels also released Garland recordings, whether officially or unofficially, of various performances that ran the gamut from radio air-checks to studio playback discs of outtakes from her films. The other major labels to release Garland performances were: M-G-M Records (Judy’s soundtrack recordings for the studio), Warner Brothers, United Artists, Colpix, and EMI. The Judy Garland Online Discography strives to document as many of these major Garland record and CD releases as possible. We also spotlight rare and hard-to-find releases you might not see anywhere else, as well as releases that might not be rare or have anything new but have great cover art or other items of interest!n traded around for years by collectors while others have been released on all manner of audio formats (vinyl, tape, compact disc, MP3, etc.). Just a quick glance at the titles here and it becomes obvious that contrary to popular belief Judy Garland did in fact sing a wide variety of songs in almost all genres. It also becomes obvious that Judy really did sing almost all the time, and we’re the lucky ones who get to enjoy her performances over and over again. A few notes about the pages: This Discography does not contain a complete listing of Judy Garland CD releases. Instead, we concentrate mainly on the original vinyl releases, while highlighting the major or historical CD releases. For example, all of Judy’s original Decca albums are documented here, whereas only the “major” and/or “unusual” Decca CDs are currently represented. This is because the wonderful Judy Garland Database had the most complete Garland CD listing in existence, but now that the site is defunct we have been slowly updating to add more of the random CD compilations. We also include some LPs and CDs based on what we call “the unusual factor.” For example, a compilation (see example) or international release (see example) that may not be anything new, but is unusual due to a variety of reasons such as cover art, choice of songs, an example of the time period, or it has that curiosity factor. Track listing information is taken from the albums themselves. Some inconsistencies, especially in the foreign releases, are noticeable. You may notice discrepancies in titles, years, times, even liner notes. Most of these have not been corrected in order to maintain complete accuracy in the details of each album as they were released. A few obvious corrections have been made. For the rest, errors in spelling and other information are noted in brackets “[ ]” or in footnotes. Additions and changes will constantly be made as we catalog more and more of Judy’s records and CDs. If you see that we are missing an important record or CD, please email the webmaster the information (and a scan of the cover art) and we’ll be glad to add it. Likewise, if you see any errors, please let us know. All information and details about the records has been gathered from the records and CDs themselves, their accompanying booklets and “jackets,” our own personal knowledge, and the following: Also, be sure to check out OTRCat.com (Old Time Radio Catalog). They have tons of vintage radio shows available to listen to and/or purchase on CD. PLEASE NOTE: If you have a record or CD that is not listed here and you think it should be, or if you have more details about a record or CD already listed, please email me. You’ll receive full credit of course! High-resolution images (200 to 300dpi) are preferred.

What is Volbella? Volbella is an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA)-based gel dermal filler made with patented Vycross technology used to augment the lips and correct fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Volbella is part of the Allergan family of Juvederm fillers and was FDA approved in May of 2016, making it one of the newest fillers on the market. Vycross technology is a propriety filler technology from Allergan that blends different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid together to create a tight, efficiently cross-linked gel. This makes the filler last longer and allows it to be more smoothly injected. How much does Volbella cost? Volbella costs $400-600 per syringe. Generally 1-2 syringes are used on each patient per treatment. The number of syringes you will require will depend on the results you’re trying to achieve. How long does Volbella last? Volbella should last for one year—significantly longer than other dermal filler products currently available, but some patients may desire a touch-up at the 9 months mark. What is the Volbella procedure like? Volbella is injected using a very fine needle. Volbella XC includes a small amount of lidocaine, which will help minimize discomfort during the injection process. Some injectors will use a vibratory device during your injections. These devices are placed near the injection site and are used to trick your nerves to not feel the needle penetrating your skin. Volbella injections usually take 30-45 minutes, although the exact time your injections will take will depend on your desired results. What results should I expect from Volbella? The results from Volbella injections are immediate. However, it may take up to 2 weeks to see your final results. You may experience some redness or swelling immediately following your Volbella treatment, but this will subside within 24-48 hours. Are Volbella injections painful? Most patients experience short periods of mild discomfort during their Volbella injections. What are the side effects of Volbella? The most common side effects of Volbella injections are: - Irritation at the injection side - Bruising for 7-10 days post-injection Rare side effects of Volbella injections are: - Blood vessel occlusion - Allergic reaction Before and After Pictures of Volbella Injections What is the recovery from Volbella like? There is no downtime following Volbella injections. You may experience minimal swelling following your injections, but this will subside within 24-48 hours. According to Dr. Jason Wendel, a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic surgery and advance laser procedures in Nashville, TN, unlike most other fillers, Volbella injections do not cause bruising. “As I mentioned, I haven’t seen those effects,” says Dr. Wendel. “You can get Volbella done, apply ice to reduce swelling, put on a little cover up and off you go.” “I’m 47-years-old and I’m so glad I decided to get Volbella to fill in the fine lines around my lips. I never smoked but looked as if I did. After getting Volbella, I felt 10 years younger. It really gave me the boost in self-confidence that every woman needs,” Mindi, a patient of Dr. Wendels says. “To be honest, I was a little nervous before the procedure, but the office staff was so comforting and personable that it helped me to feel more excited than scared. The pain was minimal especially with the numbing cream. I had zero bruising and very minimal swelling. I encourage anyone out there to give it a whirl!” Nearly 95% of the people polled on Zwivel’s forum had a positive experience with their Volbella injections. If you would like to read more about people’s experience with Volbella, visit our forum. Is Volbella safe? Volbella is considered to be a very safe filler. It is made from hyaluronic acid, which is naturally produced by the human body. The injections can be reversed using hyaluronidase. This article was written by Sharon Grasso, R.N..

It can be argued that the value of cough drops may have as much to do with the act of sucking on the lozenge as with what it contains. Sucking on a cough drop promotes the flow of saliva in the mouth, lubricating and soothing the throat and helping with the flow of the mucus. That said, some of the benefits of a cough drop can be achieved with a piece of hard candy. In fact, cough drops are made pretty much the same way hard candy is made, but with a few additions to further alleviate symptoms. Ginger root is loaded with antioxidants and other virus-fighters and its “heat” helps sooth cold symptoms (as well as migraines and upset stomach). The flavor of ginger is strong, but is tamed by other ingredients used in this cough-busting recipe. Honey has antimicrobials and antibacterials long used to soothe coughs and other cold symptoms. Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral elements and has been used for centuries to help speed recovery from colds. Lemon provides vitamin C and has other antiviral properties helpful in combating coughs and colds. These soothing drops have no dose limits, no “may cause drowsiness” and use familiar ingredients that may already be in your kitchen. Like any cough drop or hard candy, a choking hazard means they are not recommended for small children. These natural cough drops do a great job of soothing a scratchy throat and calming a cough. Once sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and keep an eye on the pot as temperatures rise. As the temperature rises, the boil will be volatile, but will calm as the sugar approaches the 300 degrees F necessary for the candy to harden when it cools (this is known as the “hard crack” stage). Once cooled completely (at least an hour), remove from molds and place in a lidded container with 1/2 – 1 cup of superfine sugar to keep the lozenges from sticking together when they are stored. Shake to coat. Powdered sugar can be used, but tends to clump. Superfine sugar can be made from regular sugar by placing in a food processor for a minute or two to reduce the size of the crystals.

A very very dear old friend of mine is dying from pancreatic cancer. She has struggled courageously, and availed herself of all treatments, both conventional and alternative. Fifty percent of patients with pancreatic cancer are dead within six months of diagnosis, the one year survival rate is twenty percent, and the five year survival, four percent. My friend is almost at the 5 year mark since her diagnosis. It has been an inspiring privilege to witness her journey and the grace with which she has handled it all, as well as heartbreaking to see her suffer. Despite the fact that she lives on the west coast, we saw each other regularly and she has been a true friend to me, in sickness and in health; totally there, supportive and accepting. Her condition has never been far from my mind since her diagnosis, and now particularly, as she will not live much longer. She is tired and in pain, and I think, ready to go. I was astonished this Sunday to see the piece in the New York Times Magazine section about the therapeutic use of hallucinogenic drugs to ease fear of dying in terminal patients, as it was so apropos to what has been preoccupying me. I wanted to write about it, as dying and death are very much on my mind, and I think that the potential benefit to dying patients is huge, and the public should be aware of this treatment and it should be readily available. Dr. Charles Grob, a psychiatrist and researcher at Harbor UCLA Medical Center has been administering psilocybin, the psychoactive component of magic mushrooms, to dying cancer patients to see if he could reduce the fear of death. His research showed that the administration of the drug could be done safely, and that it greatly improved the quality of the patients’ lives, as they felt much less anxious and depressed about their impending death. The drugs caused the patients to have access to transcendent experiences which resulted in sustained perceptions like “Death is never just an ending, but part of a process.” and “My death does not end my personal existence.” After transcendent experiences, people have much less fear of death. One patient who was part of the study stated, “I now have the distinct sense that there’s so much more,” “so many different states of being. I have the sense that death is not the end but just part of a process, a way of moving into a different sphere, a different way of being.” “Researchers acknowledge that it’s not clear how psilocybin reduces a person’s anxiety about mortality, not simply during the trip but for weeks and months following. “It’s a bit of a mystery,” Grob says. “I don’t really have altogether a definitive answer as to why the drug eases the fear of death, but we do know that from time immemorial individuals who have transformative spiritual experiences come to a very different view of themselves and the world around them and thus are able to handle their own deaths differently.” “On psychedelics,” Halpern says, “you have an experience in which you feel there is something you are a part of, something else is out there that’s bigger than you, that there is a dazzling unity you belong to, that love is possible and all these realizations are imbued with deep meaning. I’m telling you that you’re not going to forget that six months from now. The experience gives you, just when you’re on the edge of death, hope for something more.” The following quote describes one couple’s experience who was part of Grob’s research. Norbert Litzinger was the husband of Pam Sakuda who was dying from metastatic colon cancer: “Norbert Litzinger remembers picking up his wife from the medical center after her first session and seeing that this deeply distressed woman was now “glowing from the inside out.” Before Pam Sakuda died, she described her psilocybin experience on video: “I felt this lump of emotions welling up . . . almost like an entity,” Sakuda said, as she spoke straight into the camera. “I started to cry. . . . Everything was concentrated and came welling up and then . . . it started to dissipate, and I started to look at it differently. . . . I began to realize that all of this negative fear and guilt was such a hindrance . . . to making the most of and enjoying the healthy time that I’m having.” Sakuda went on to explain that, under the influence of the psilocybin, she came to a very visceral understanding that there was a present, a now, and that it was hers to have.” In terms of the mechanism of the mechanism of action of this substance: “The researchers found that the states of “unrestrained consciousness” that accompany the ingestion of psilocybin are associated with a deactivation of regions of the brain that integrate our senses and our perception of self. In depressed people, Nutt explains, one of those regions, the anterior cingulate cortex, is overactive, and psilocybin may work to shut it down”. Its interesting to speculate what this means in terms of other psychiatric conditions. I could imagine that states in which the sense of self as separate is accentuated, could cause anxiety and feelings of alienation and depression. I wish that this treatment would be readily accessible to my friend to ease her passage. Given the greatly improved quality of life experienced by the patients in the study, it would make sense for it to be part of a regularly available protocol for end of life medical care.

It's been a tumultous time for Loewe in the last year or so - the 91-year-old company was subject to some fairly heavyweight strictures under German financial law while it sought new investment and technology partnerships - but lately things have been definitely looking up. There were plenty of new products announced at IFA back in September, and with the launch of the new Art TV range in the UK this week, Loewe becomes the only TV brand on the planet with an entirely 4K Ultra HD product range. Admittedly it's not all that extensive a range, but that's rather beside the point. New investment and upper management notwithstanding, the Loewe philosophy continues to focus on premium-quality products - "although not", as new CEO Mark Hüsges points out, "premium for the sake of it". And with its new products Loewe is putting a much stronger emphasis on the quality of its user experience - the 40in, 48in and 55in Art TV range features 'super-fast' channel changing, a triple-tuner/dual-channel 'Assist Media 2015' operating system and GUI, Smart TV MediaNet portal and full RS232 comptability for integration into a smart-home environment. There's also remote streaming via the 'Smart tv2move' feature, which can stream whatever you're watching (or an alternative channel) to a tablet or smartphone. This is in addition to Loewe's rather more readily recognisable virtues of sleek, understated design, tactile materials and serious-minded approach to flatscreen audio (each Art TV is packing 80 watts of power to drive its four-driver speaker array). All of which promises to make the Art TV range (£1300 for the 40in model, £1700 for the 48in and £2100 for the 55in) the company's most competitive yet while remaining, as Mark Hüsges says, "a European product for the European market". There are three more Loewe TV ranges in the pipeline, with the Connect range set to go on sale later this year, to be followed in 2015 by the Reference range and the curved Masterpiece shown at IFA 2014.

Teaching Practice 6 To provide gist and detailed listening practice using a text about Voluntourism in the context of an interview To provide product writing practice of a entry in the context of Voluntourism Procedure (35-45 minutes) Get students to work in pairs and discuss these questions: 1. Which holidays can you remember from your childhood? 2. What's the best (or worst) holiday you've ever had? 3. Imagine your perfect holiday. Where would you go? What would you do there? Take feedback from one student or two. Get students to look at the picture with "Become a Voluntourist" Get them to brainstorm about the definition of the term "voluntourist" in pairs. Add some question words for them to discuss such as who, where and why. Ask two or three pairs to share their ideas. Don't give the answer at this stage. Tell students they are going to listen to an interview and answer 2 questions. Show the picture of so-called travel expert Alison Armstrong. Elicit Alison's job from students. Show the questions on the WB: 1. What is voluntourism? 2. Why is it becoming popular? Play the recording. Get students to discuss about their answers in pairs. Take feedback from students.

Hekate is a complex Goddess who is known by many names. To understand her, you must go deep. She will give you great knowledge but will also expect great things of you. Hekate is an ancient Goddess known well before the Greeks or Romans. Although the Greeks called her Hekate and the Romans called her Trivia, she was before them all. In ancient times Hekate was known as The Mother of All. In ancient times, she was seen as a Healer. The ancient rites and rituals were used to heal and cure many ailments. Witches in small villages were often thought of as healers and could provide herbs and salves that could cure diseases. Their power was given by Hekate, and as a powerful Goddess she could provide whatever was needed. One of the symbols that is associated with Hekate is Hekate’s Wheel of the Year. You may be familiar with the Wheel of the Year showing the seasons and sabbats. Hekate’s Wheel of the Year connects with the seasons, but also with days that are special to her. As we are in the month of August, let us look at how Hekate’s Wheel of the Year celebrates the First Harvest and blessings for children. Within the seasons or the wheel of the year, Hekate has three roles – Guardian, Guide, and Gatekeeper. During August, Hekate takes on the role of Gatekeeper on August 1, as she bestows the bounty of the land on us and allows us to enjoy the abundance. As August continues, her role as Guardian takes over as she watches over us as we head toward the changing of seasons and a time to store crops and make plans for the dark season. The middle of the month is also a special time to celebrate Hekate as Guardian of children. You can do a ritual during this time and thank her for children in your life and ask for blessings on their lives as they grow. There are 2 kinds of rituals – devotional rituals that are energetic offerings, and magical rituals that include spells. Devotional Rituals should include both words and actions to connect with the deity and to express our gratitude. Here is a simple devotional ritual you can do to honor Hekate for her protection for you and your family during the month of August. Please be careful to only use candles or fire in a location that is safe. (You may want to perform this one outside.) Light a small candle or some incense in a bowl. Write on a piece of paper the things you are grateful for during this time of plenty. Pay special attention to things surrounding your children or family that you are grateful for. Once you are done, read the list out loud thanking the Goddess for her protection. When you are done, fold the paper in a small square and put in the bowl with the candle of incense to burn. This will take your thoughts and gratitude up to her. We will continue each month to learn more about Hekate as the Wheel of the Year turns. Blessings!

Hello and welcome to The Farmhouse Friday Link Party #43! Hey guys! How has your week been? We’re having unseasonably warm and gorgeous weather here in NorCal – it’s been in the 70’s all week (don’t hate). I took advantage of the nice weather and started cleaning up our much neglected yard. And when I say neglected, I mean we-haven’t-done-anything-in it-for-the-last-several-months neglected. It was seriously overgrown, and the last thing I want is for spring to hit in full force and I still had to clean up the yard before I could start planting all my usual goodies – veggies, herbs, and of course the most important things: flowers for bouquets around the house. I hope to have it all buttoned up by this weekend; woot woot! We had a ton of great linkups last week! I decided to do a Valentine’s Day theme for the features this week to give you guys some last-minute inspiration. I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day (I think of it as Commercialized Forced Romance Day), but I do enjoy seeing all the Valentine’s Day inspired decorations done in farmhouse style. I hope you enjoy them too! This week’s features: The party rules are super simple! Link up your favorite DIY projects, decor projects, and crafts that are farmhouse style. If it doesn’t fit into that description, please don’t link it up. Please no food/recipe posts. You can link up your new and old posts alike as long as you only link them up here once. By linking up, you will get a chance to be featured here at next week’s party! You will also get a chance for your post to be shared on my Facebook group DIY Farmhouse Style, which at this writing has over 273 thousand members! Unfortunately now this is the only way to share your blog posts and links in the group. I’ve had too many problems in the group with people sharing inappropriate links disguised as links to blog posts, so I can no longer allow anyone to post blog links directly. By linking up to this party, you agree to give me permission to share your posts and pictures via social media and as features, roundups, etc. with an explicit link back to your original source. Now let’s party! Thanks so much for stopping by at The Farmhouse Friday Link Party #43! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and week ahead and I’ll see you back here next Friday!

Summary: Jesus rules as king where He is received as king. A special sermon contribution from the SON OF GOD sermon packet for pastors, inspired by the SON OF GOD movie from Mark Burnett and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Everyone wants to back a winner. Take our allegiance and enthusiasm for sports teams, for example. Year after year may pass, and the local team may have a nucleus of loyal fans, but when they start winning, when they enter the playoffs, when they are vying for the championship, suddenly everyone’s a fan! The same thing happens in politics, entertainment, publishing, and business. You may smile, or scoff, but there is a reason so many of us behave that way. I think it has to do with the universal human need … to worship. We all long to worship someone or something bigger than ourselves. It is why we make heroes and celebrities out of ordinary people. We are wired for worship. It is so strong in us, that if we do not find a worthy object of worship,we will settle for all sorts of things, even unworthy things. That is why what we do here each weekend is so important. Because there is inexpressible delight and wholenessand fulfillment to be found in worshiping the one who revealed Himself as the Son of Man, the Sinner’s Friend, the Anointed One, the Coming King. Some of you recognize in those titles the themes of our worship these past few weeks, as we have shared a series of messages and worship experiences called “Who Do You Say I Am?” They are based on a movie called Son of God, a dramatic portrayal of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christas well as His message and mission. We have been watching the depiction of various Bible passages as the creators of the Son of God movie rendered them; and then we’ve been going to our Bibles to study and apply that part of Jesus’ story to our lives. So today we will look at the portrayal of Jesus as the Coming King, the one who was promised by the prophet Zechariah when he wrote, “Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious,lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” —Zechariah 9:9, NIV It is a prophecy that was fulfilled by Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem, a reference to the Coming King, the promised Messiah, that virtually everyone in the crowd that day would have recognized, a very public and pointed claim to be the one they had all awaited. PLAY video clip from The Son of God, “The Triumphal Entry.” That incident, which has come to be called the Triumphal Entry, is celebrated in churches around the world every Palm Sunday—the week before Easter. It depicts another answer to the question Jesus once asked His closest friends and followers, “Who do you say I am?” It reveals Jesus as the Coming King, the one spoken of by the prophet Jeremiah, who wrote: “‘The days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch,a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety.This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteous Savior’” —Jeremiah 23:5–6, NIV The people of Jesus’ day, of course, did not fully understand the nature of Jesus’ kingdom and the scope of His salvation,but they clearly welcomed the rabbi from Nazareth as a king that day, and He accepted their worship, though He knew how quickly it would evaporate. And in that fact is a great truth: Jesus will rule as king where He is received as king. That day, many who had known Him a long time and others who had to ask who He was received Him as king, though they had much to learn about Him and His kingdom. And so it is today. Whether you have known Him a long time or are still asking who this Jesus is, He will rule as king where He is received as king. Of course, you may not fully understand what that means, or what it looks like for you. So let’s turn to the Bible for a little clarification. If you want to recognize Jesus as the king who was promised, receive Him as king and serve Him as king, then first let me suggest you … 1. Do what Jesus says. Let’s look together at Luke, chapter 19. We will begin reading in verse 29: “As he [Jesus] approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, ‘Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, “Why are you untying it?” say, “The Lord needs it.”’

Now more than ever, I am hearing leaders openly discuss equity in the workplace. I am hearing everything from we are leading the way to we are at crossroad to we are nowhere near where we want to be. I am encouraged because the conversations are happening. But, equity must be clearly defined and move from conversation to action. Equity in the workplace provides opportunity and access for everyone to succeed. This includes employees and stakeholders as well as customers. It is one of the most efficient ways to achieve collaborative success. Mistakenly, many leaders do not make understanding and advocating for equity a priority. Why? While this answer may vary depending on the individual and the organization, let us just say that many individuals subscribe to the belief that smart, witty, and driven professionals are self-sufficient and outside factors do not determine their success. Many individuals also subscribe to the belief that systemic issues involving racial, gender, and sexual discrimination, just to name a few, do not exist. And, to be brutally honest, some people do not want equity to exist. However, in the United States where by the year 2045 the majority of our population will be non-White and where today, the majority of students enrolled in our public schools are students of color, not striving toward equity through a clearly defined equity agenda is extremely short-sighted. Clearly, equity does matter, and it is not something that develops on its own or works itself out. If you are not intentionally creating a work culture that advocates, establishes, and maintains equity for all, you are missing a critical opportunity. But, it is never too late! Equity IS NOT: Equity is not just about diversity and inclusion. Although inclusion is a necessary step towards the progression of equity, a person can be included but not experience equity. It is also not a free pass to the weak links within the organization giving everyone the same praise or compensation regardless of their contributions or lack there of. It is not a quota or affirmative action. It cannot be something that is studied in a workshop and never addressed again. It is progressive and ongoing. Equity is not equality. Equality means equal amounts of something is available regardless of one’s specific needs. Equity is an ethical concept. Equity acknowledges workplace advantages and disadvantages and keeps prestige and hierarchies obsolete. The conversation of equity is spreading vastly amongst organizations in ALL industries, particularly philanthropic circles. You would struggle to find a conference or event that did not at least mention equity and discuss potential ways to address. Equity is one of those vague terms that most of us understand the concept of; yet, we struggle to agree on its true and authentic definition and objective and ultimately we struggle to implement it. So, let’s be clear; the technical (Merriam-Webster’s) simple definition of equity is fairness or justice in the way people are treated. In a deeper more complex definition as described by Stanford’s University Social Innovation Review, equity is about each of us getting what we need to survive or succeed. This includes but is not limited to, access to opportunity, networks, support, and valuable resources based on where we currently are and where we want to go. For example, if David gets a promotion at work and now makes $100,000 yearly salary, equity does not mean the entire office gets a promotion and now makes 6 figures. Equity asks Michael, who works in the mailroom, what his career goals are? And, the same level of support and opportunity as well as access that was provided to David is also provided to Michael. In short, equity creates a path for everyone to reach their full potential. 3 ways to establish equity in the workplace: Once we understand the fundamentals of equity, we can begin moving toward implementing equity structures within our organizations and across all aspects of the organization. 1. Career Goal Evaluation Most workplaces offer a quarterly or yearly employee evaluation. These evaluations typically cover performance, raises, expectations, and the overall tone is a discussion centered on the value that the employee brings to the company. There is definitely a use as well as a time and place for such evaluations. However, an evaluation where a team member’s short- and long-term career goals are discussed is a much more beneficial evaluation. Career goal evaluation will empower a team member, provide a path to success, and increase employee retention. Key questions to ask during this evaluation are: Where do you see yourself in five years? What obstacles do you feel keep you from advancing to your desired career level? Do you feel safe at work? Not just physically but also professionally safe, which requires the freedom to feel like one can solve problems, provide feedback, and grow into a better person. Do you feel respected at work? What can your management team do to understand your goals more and support you toward the attainment of those goals? 2. Continuous Development Opportunities Having an onsite training team or access to coaches, mentors, and upper level executives to steer your team towards progression and sharpen their skills will make them a better asset to the organization and make them feel valued at the same time. The goal is that they not only understand their role, but they also understand how to be leaders in their field and within their respective space. Create passionate leaders! The secondary goal is that they understand, and capacity is built within them allowing them to advance in the current role, have every resource available to do so, and be prepared for the next level with the access and opportunity to get there. 3. Develop a Company Mandated Equity Plan Equity doesn’t happen overnight or evolve from thoughtful conversations. A specific and direct plan must be created and enforced within every organization implemented through every level that desires to establish principles of equity with bold action steps toward ensuring implementation and accountability. A plan of equity lays out: A thorough and comprehensive review of policies and practices that exacerbate issues of equity and systemic equity issues; Schedule and contents of career objective evaluations; Plan for a diverse and inclusive staff and talent pipeline; Executive team member sensitivity training; The company’s establish view and definition of equity; The goal of equity explained in staffing and coach materials; and A plan of equity accountability and enforcement. Once the above is established and you identify what equity means in your organization and what your implantation goals are now the test is enforcing it and holding all individuals accountable by creating a culture of inclusivity through equity. Engaging all colleagues in equity centered activities and training throughout the year every year will help keep equity a priority and create a positive, powerful, and dynamic work culture that is mutually beneficial for all that genuinely thrives to ensure all means all and everyone gets what they need to grow and succeed.

Paresthesia has been reported with prolonged use. Neuropathy has typically been associated with high doses of parenteral penicillin. Severe neurologic reactions were most often seen with penicillin doses of 18 to 80 million units daily. These reactions frequently abated after discontinuation of penicillin. In several cases, penicillin was restarted at a lower dose with no further sequelae. In 1 review, the authors found that cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) penicillin levels were higher in patients with seizures than in those without. CSF penicillin levels ranged from 12 to 61 units/mL in the seizure group with the highest CSF levels, compared to 7.8 units/mL in the group without seizures.Other Frequency not reported: Overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms (e.g., Candida), fatigue, asthenia, pain, aggravation of existing disordersGenitourinary Frequency not reported: VulvovaginitisPsychiatric Frequency not reported: Auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinationsRespiratory Frequency not reported: Hypoxia, apnea, dyspnea December 16, 2020 March 1, 2021 February 15, 2021 March 1, 2021 February 1, 2021 January 31, 2021

HOW ALCOHOL AFFECTS YOUR ABILITY TO DRIVE Alcohol is a depressant, meaning it slows down systems in the body. This is the opposite of a stimulant drug that actually speeds up your central nervous system. As a depressant, alcohol relaxes you (which is one of the main reasons people drink alcohol) and makes you tired. It also impairs many of your abilities. - Alcohol slows your reaction times. Driving entails a lot of your senses firing at the same time. From the squirrel that darts out unexpectedly on the road to the person who slams on their brakes in front of you, you have to be able to react quickly when driving in order to avoid accidents and stay safe. - Alcohol can impact your vigilance. Alcohol can give you a sense of lackadaisicalness when it comes to driving, which is the feeling that you don’t need to give driving that much attention. In reality, driving is a complex task that requires you to be alert and watchful. - Alcohol can cause blurry vision. Your eye muscles are slowed, which affects your visual perception. Even night perception and color perception can be altered, and you may not see as many objects in your peripheral vision. - Alcohol distorts judgment. Since your nervous system is slowed from the effects of alcohol, your judgment will be impaired. This can affect, for example, how much space you think you have between you and the vehicle in front of you as well as where exactly the car in the lane next to you is. - Alcohol impacts your tracking ability. This is seen mainly when cars weave because alcohol distorts the lines on the road and you are slower to turn the wheel. - Alcohol affects concentration. All brain functions slow with the use of alcohol. This means it will be hard for you to concentrate. For most of us, driving is automatic — when our brains are not impaired. When you add alcohol in, you’ll have to concentrate more to drive, which can be hard to do. - Alcohol affects coordination. Sure, driving is like riding your bike for most of us. But when your brain is slower to react, you may miss the brake pedal while driving, resulting in an accident. If you’re having trouble walking, standing up straight, or are swaying, you should not take the change of a DUI arrest. - Alcohol makes you drowsy. As a depressant, alcohol will put you to sleep if you let it, and if it’s late at night and you’ve been partying all night, this can easily happen. Driving while tired is a major cause of crashes, as you can easily hit other cars or go off the side of the road. Alcohol affects everyone differently; that being said, there is no doubt there are physical effects in your body from drinking that can contribute to accidents while driving.

Connecting state and local government leaders In a guest article, the district attorney in Essex County, Massachusetts, details a local effort to offer treatment on demand to non-violent offenders rather than prosecuting them. SALEM, Mass. — Like many communities across the United States, the 34 cities and towns of Essex County, Massachusetts, have been battling a drug epidemic which claimed 193 lives last year. While the profile of the heroin user has changed; the outcome of heroin use has not. Heroin ruins lives and wreaks havoc on families and communities. No socio-economic group or community is immune from heroin’s devastation. In 2007, when the spike in opioid-related activity was just beginning, I introduced the Essex County Drug Diversion Program to help address this troubling issue. This effort includes a pre- and post-arraignment program for offenders with substance abuse issues who are charged with nonviolent offenses. The program provides candidates the opportunity to receive comprehensive substance abuse treatment services in lieu of being prosecuted through the traditional court process. At the time, it was a unique tactic to try to intervene at the beginning of the addiction cycle, which we are trying very desperately to break. Rather than watch the very predictable revolving door of drug-addicted offenders, we sought to interrupt that process by offering treatment on demand to non-violent offenders. This approach does not fit the traditional role of the prosecutor, in that we are offering services to the defendant rather than prosecuting them. However, based upon my experience over the course of the last 14 years, when a person who is addicted to drugs is given a chance at treatment and overcoming their addiction, public safety is improved. A critical element of this program is the close collaboration between the Essex District Attorney’s Office and Project COPE, an affiliate of Bridgewell. Project COPE is a nonprofit substance abuse treatment service provider. My Juvenile Diversion staff, in consultation with assistant district attorneys, review criminal complaints in all eight district courts each morning to identify eligible cases for diversion. Non-violent offenders with little or no criminal record with substance abuse as an underlying issue are offered the opportunity to participate in the program. If the offender accepts this opportunity, he or she meets with a clinical case manager from Project COPE in the courthouse that same day. The offender receives a substance abuse assessment followed by immediate access to treatment. In many cases, the individual has a mental health disorder in addition to his or her substance abuse disorder. A thorough intake by the clinical case manager ensures that these issues are identified and addressed in the treatment plan. Treatment options include medical detox, emergency psychiatric evaluation, an intensive outpatient program, or residential program. Other services may include addressing homelessness or an unsafe home life. The minimum length of treatment is six months. Although insurance will be used to pay for some of the services, no one is denied services based on an inability to pay. If a participant fails to complete all treatment components, they will be prosecuted. However, if the participant relapses, but remains committed to recovery, their treatment plan is adjusted and they remain in the program. Once the clinical case manager informs the District Attorney’s Office that the participant has completed the treatment program, the charges against them are dismissed. Recovery is hard work but with support and services, many people do succeed. Our program provides participants with multiple sources of support and services. The clinical case manager serves as the liaison among the program participant, the District Attorney’s Office and the treatment providers. They also often work with a participant’s family to ensure that the participant has the support they need to achieve sobriety. In addition to the clinical case manager, participants are also assigned a recovery coach who provides additional support throughout the treatment period. A recovery coach is a person who is in recovery themselves and can provide the participant a unique perspective and can assist them in identifying appropriate narcotics anonymous and alcoholics anonymous meetings and help them build a support network. Diversion participants are also provided with various “aftercare” services including assistance with housing, employment and education as well as a special peer-led support group consisting of other diversion program graduates. My duty as district attorney is to uphold the law and make sure the residents of Essex County are safe. I believe I am fulfilling this duty by offering drug-addicted offenders the chance to modify their behavior and get the help they need, while keeping them out of the court system. We know that when it comes to heroin addiction, every day is critical. When we can get someone who is charged with a possessory or other minor offense to go into treatment, we are quite frankly saving lives. Jonathan W. Blodgett has been the elected District Attorney of Essex County, Massachusetts since 2003. The Essex County Drug Diversion Program was recently recognized by the Addiction Policy Forum as an Innovative Program. For more information, click here.

As the grad intern in the Museum’s Department of Manuscripts this year, my duties have been twofold. I assisted with the department’s ongoing digitization of information related to the collection, and I organized an exhibition featuring manuscripts in the permanent collection. With a background in late medieval and Renaissance material culture, I have enjoyed researching manuscripts in the collection from the perspective of the significance of their materials and the techniques enriching their bindings. Proudest of: I’m very excited for the exhibition I’ve organized, entitled Things Unseen: Vision, Belief, and Experience in Illuminated Manuscripts. Drawn from the permanent collection, the exhibition will focus on spiritual experiences—including divine visions, complex systems of belief, and the private communications of prayer—that can be difficult to translate visually. Mark your calendars for July 12, 2016! Favorite moment: During my study trip to England in January, I had an incredible one-on-one tour of Canterbury Cathedral, re-creating the footsteps of the 12th-century martyr-saint Thomas Becket. After experiencing every possible combination of frozen precipitation earlier in the day (apparently called a “wintry mix”), my host and I stepped outside just as the clouds parted for a brief moment to drench the cathedral in late afternoon light. Then it began to hail. World adventure: The inspiration for my study trip was a manuscript in the Getty’s collection with an unusual binding. The French manuscript dates to around 1400, but seems to have been rebound in England in the late 1500s, when bits and pieces were added in. This later binding also has two different English coins (one from about 1350 and the other from about 1450) cut into ovals, painted with gold, and applied to the covers. Because of my interest in manuscripts and coins, this was the ideal research project. I was curious to know what might have brought these disparate elements together and what their significance might be. I was fortunate to be granted access to special collections in London at the British Museum and British Library, and in Cambridge at the Fitzwilliam Museum and Emmanuel College to answer these questions. Crystal ball: My hands-on experiences at the Getty have prepared me to contribute to the research of museum collections and to pursue higher training in the field. Internship in three words: Make it happen! For more info on the Getty Graduate Internship Program, including dates and how to apply, head over to the Getty Foundation website.

What unspeakable chills await Teresa Palmer? (Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp. was told to pay VLSI Technology LLC $2.18 billion by a federal jury in Texas after losing a patent-infringement trial over technology related to chip-making, one of the largest patent-damages award in U.S. history. Intel pledged to appeal.Intel infringed two patents owned by closely held VLSI, the jury in Waco, Texas, said Tuesday. The jury found $1.5 billion for infringement of one patent and $675 million for infringement of the second. The jury rejected Intel’s denial of infringing either of the patents and its argument that one patent was invalid because it claimed to cover work done by Intel engineers.The patents had been owned by Dutch chipmaker NXP Semiconductors Inc., which would get a cut of any damage award, Intel lawyer William Lee of WilmerHale told jurors in closing arguments Monday. VLSI, founded four years ago, has no products and its only potential revenue is this lawsuit, he said.VLSI “took two patents off the shelf that hadn’t been used for 10 years and said, ‘We’d like $2 billion,”’ Lee told the jury. The “outrageous” demand by VLSI “would tax the true innovators.”He had argued that VLSI was entitled to no more than $2.2 million.“Intel strongly disagrees with today’s jury verdict,” the company said in a statement. “We intend to appeal and are confident that we will prevail.”Intel fell 2.6% to $61.24 in New York trading. The stock is up 23% since the beginning of the year.One of the patents was originally issued in 2012 to Freescale Semiconductor Inc. and the other in 2010 to SigmaTel Inc. Freescale bought SigmaTel and was in turn bought by NXP in 2015. The two patents in this case were transferred to VLSI in 2019, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Law.VLSI lawyer Morgan Chu of Irell & Manella said the patents cover inventions that increase the power and speed of processors, a key issue for competition.‘Willful Blindness’Federal law doesn’t require someone to know of a patent to be found to have infringed it, and Intel purposely didn’t look to see if it was using someone else’s inventions, he said. He accused the Santa Clara, California-based company of “willful blindness.”The jury said there was no willful infringement. A finding otherwise would have enabled District Court Judge Alan Albright to increase the award even further, to up to three times the amount set by the jury.Chu and officials with NXP couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.The damage request isn’t so high when the billions of chips sold by Intel are taken into account, Chu said. Intel paid MicroUnity Systems Engineering Corp. $300 million 2005 and in 2011 paid Nvidia Corp. $1.5 billion even though a settlement in that case involved a cross license of technology, he said.“Operating companies are going to be disturbed by not only the size of the award but also the damages theory,” said Michael Tomasulo, a Winston Strawn lawyer who attended the trial. “They more or less seemed to have bought the entire VLSI case.”The damage award is about half of Intel’s fourth-quarter profit. The company has dominated the $400 billion chip industry for most of the past 30 years, though it’s struggling to maintain that position.The verdict is smaller than the $2.5 billion verdict won by Merck & Co. over a hepatitis C treatment. It was later thrown out. Last year, Cisco Systems Inc. was told by a federal judge in Virginia to pay $1.9 billion to a small cybersecurity companies that accused it of copying feature to steal away government contracts. Cisco has asked the judge for a new trial.The case is among the few in-person patent trials in recent months, with many courts pressing pause amid the coronavirus pandemic. It was delayed a week because of the winter storm that wreaked havoc across much of Texas.Intel had sought to postpone the case because of the pandemic, but was rejected by Albright, a former patent litigator and magistrate who was sworn in as a federal judge in 2018 and has quickly turned his courtroom into one of the most popular for patent owners to file suit.The case is VLSI Technology LLC v. Intel Corp., 21-57, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas (Waco).(Updates with Intel share prices in seventh paragraph.

Share in the comments or on our Facebook page how you manage your list of things to get done!

Hm. Well, this is a semi-success. On the one hand, I needed curtains in the shed windows, because the sun coming in makes it too hot in the height of summer, and the lack of insulation makes it too cold in the depth of winter. And the curtains took 20 minutes to cut and sew, another 5 minutes to hang, and I do love the fabric I used for this, Robert Allen’s Folkworld pattern in the Aquatint color way, which I used a little under two yards of, at $15 / yard on remnant clearance at fabricguru.com. BUT — I think maybe this isn’t what I want for this space long-term. I had waffled and waffled, thinking about map prints and space prints and finally settled on this one because I like it so. I do like it! We used the same print in his Admiral colorway for the backing cushions in our eat-in area, and it’s perfect there, we get so many compliments. This is equally charming, and the animals are certainly appropriate to the garden. I particularly like how the gold thread I used picks up the gold of the flowers; I think it’s an interesting decorative element added to the curtains. BUT, I think maybe I should’ve gone with my original plan and just stuck to off-white to match the interior monk-like paint job (or grey, the color of the chair and accent pieces). Because the star of the show in my shed really is the garden, and this fabric (which I bought 6 yards of, so enough to also do coordinating curtains for the long French doors AND probably the little single window on the opposite side) is sort of too pretty in its own right. It’s actually distracting me from the garden’s loveliness, rather than complementing it, I think. Hm. I suppose I will leave these up until I have time and energy to go buy off-white fabric and re-do them, which may be a while. They can be functional, at least. But that said, if any locals reading this has an interest in some 5′ long curtains (just covering a 4′ wide opening, without excess), let me know? I’d be happy to sell them to you for cost, so $25. NOTE: They’re not perfectly sewn, because I was thinking it was just for my shed, and it didn’t matter if it wasn’t perfect — one end is a little long on one, so you may want to re-sew the bottom hem, though if you use clips, it’s easy enough to just hang one a little higher to achieve an even hem at the bottom; that’s what I did. ALSO, I think I didn’t really have the tension set right on the machine, as the thread doesn’t seem to be laying quite right. I mean, it’s fine, but not if you’re someone who actually knows anything about sewing. 🙂 Or if anyone’s interested in the remaining yardage (a little over 4 yards, 54″ wide), I’d happy to sell you that at cost too ($60). I’m trying to think what I can do with it other than sell it. It’d make cute playroom cushions, but I don’t really need anymore of those. It’s upholstery fabric, so a little heavy for a dress. Maybe someone with little kids (or a daycare?) could use it. (Non-locals, if you want it badly enough to pay for shipping, that’s fine too. 🙂 ) And hey, if any locals coming to upcoming Maram’s Tea and Textiles meet-ups (Aug 3, 24, 31) wants me to show you how to hem basic curtains like this, it’s SO EASY, and I’d be happy to. You do have to either use my machine, or bring one you know how to thread. I can try to thread another machine, but I’m no expert, so no guarantees.
