Wassili Stepanowitsch Sawoiko (, wiss. Transliteration Vasilij Stepanovič Zavojko; *  in Prochorowka im Gouvernement Poltawa, Russisches Kaiserreich; † in Welyka Metschetnja im Gouvernement Podolien, Russisches Kaiserreich) war ein Admiral der Kaiserlich Russischen Marine. Biografie Sawoiko kam in einer adligen kleinrussischen Familie im Gouvernement Poltawa auf die Welt. Er studierte als angehender Marineoffizier an der Marineschule von Nikolajew und nahm im Jahr 1827 an der Schlacht von Navarino teil. 1835 bis 1838 machte er zwei Erdumseglungen. 1840 heuerte er bei der Russisch-Amerikanischen Kompagnie an und wurde bald zum Administrator des Hafens von Ochotsk. Er kam zur Überzeugung, dass der Hafen für den Handel eher ungeeignet war, da er zu weit vom Einzugsgebiet der Lena lag. Aus diesem Grund befürwortete er die Gründung von Ajan. Während der Erkundung der dortigen Landschaft zusammen mit Dmitri Orlow entdeckte Sawoiko die Mündung des Amur. Die Erforschung der Gegend wurde später von Gennadi Newelskoi fortgesetzt, der auch den Tatarensund entdeckte. Sawoikos Bericht über die potenzielle Bedeutung des Amur führte zur Forschungsexpedition 1846 und schließlich zur Einverleibung der Primorje-Region zum Russischen Kaiserreich. 1850 wurde Sawoiko vom Generalgouverneur Ostsibiriens Nikolai Murawjow-Amurski zum Militärgouverneur Kamtschatkas und zum Leiter des Hafens Petropawlowsk ernannt. Unter der Leitung Sawoikos wurden dort ein Kai, eine Gießerei und neue Armeebaracken gebaut. Sawoiko unterstützte die landwirtschaftliche Erschließung Kamtschatkas. Während des Krimkriegs und der Belagerung von Petropawlowsk-Kamtschatski im Jahre 1854 durch Engländer und Franzosen konnte Sawoiko eine erfolgreiche Verteidigung der Stadt gegen die zahlenmäßig überlegenen Gegner organisieren und die Landungstruppen zurückschlagen. Es konnte sogar eine britische Fahne erobert werden. 1855 war Sawoiko für die Verlagerung des pazifischen Haupthafens Russlands von Petropawlowsk zur Amur-Mündung verantwortlich, wo eigens die Stadt Nikolajewsk am Amur gegründet wurde. Die Operation gelang trotz rauer winterlicher See und der Präsenz zahlenmäßig überlegener feindlicher Flottenverbände. 1856 kehrte Sawoiko nach Sankt Petersburg zurück, wo er als Generalauditor der Flotte diente. In der Folge erhielt er mehrere hohe Auszeichnungen und wurde zum Admiral befördert. Er war mit Juliana Wrangell verheiratet und hatte insgesamt 11 Kinder: fünf Söhne und sechs Töchter. Er starb im Alter von 85 Jahren auf seinem Landgut in Podolien. Zu Ehren von Sawoiko trug das Dorf Jelisowo in den Jahren 1897 bis 1924 seinen Namen. Literatur Ždanko, M.

Abstract : The use of fluorescent reporter proteins is an established experimental approach for dynamic quantification of gene expression over time. Yet, the observed fluorescence levels are only indirect measurements of the relevant promoter activity. At the level of population averages, reconstruction of mean activity profiles from mean fluorescence profiles has been addressed with satisfactory results. At the single cell level, however, promoter activity is generally different from cell to cell. Making sense of this variability is at the core of single-cell modelling, but complicates the reconstruction task. Here we discuss reconstruction of promoter activity statistics from time-lapse population snapshots of fluorescent reporter statistics, as obtained e.g. by flow-cytometric measurements of a dynamical gene expression experiment. After discussing the problem in the framework of stochastic modelling, we provide an estimation method based on convex optimization. We then instantiate it in the fundamental case of a single promoter switch, reflecting a typical random promoter activation or deactivation, and discuss estimation results from in silico experiments.

Q: passwordless login set up automation for ubuntu I have space separated file containing ip addresses and credentials like this: 10.0.0.1 user_master password_master 10.0.0.3 user_slave1 password_slave1 ... 10.0.0.20 user_slave20 password_slave20 I want create mutual passwordless ssh login between master(first line) and all other slaves. All machines are new Ubuntu 14.04 with no openssh-server installed. Right now I am able to use ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id to create public key login without inputing password one by one manually, but it's tedious when there are many machines. I want to know how to write script to automate this process. I find it hard for me especially when I have to pass credentials after ssh to other machine then exit. Or is there a out-of-box tool designed for this automation task? A: You can create simple bash script ex: upload.sh and write some automation script : #!/bin/bash remote_host=(192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 172.90.44.21) for i in "${remote_host[@]}" do echo Uploading SSH Key to Host : $i ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub $i done You can input your remote address on remote_host array Make it executable chmod upload.sh and then, execute it ./upload.sh

Discover the beauty of South Padre Island as you soar through the air on a parasailing adventure. Glide over the water with a friend, gazing out over miles of stunning views. Parasailing was fantastic. By far the best place we've been parasailing. Captain and deck hand were awesome and their interaction with the kids was amazing. Had great conversations and asked all sorts of questions; made the girls that had never flown before feel very comfortable. They made the trip an absolute pleasure! We will be back next time! The crew was very personable. They were very engaged with all who attended. Also, the employee working the service desk was inviting. She truely made my and my nieces experience enjoyable. Wish I could recall her name though. Very fun and nice people. Very friendly. I liked that the captain of the boat played his own music because it made the experience better.

Decision Sciences & Systems Research Transfer & Software Prof. Dr. Felix Brandt Florian Brandl, M.Sc., Christian Stricker, M.Sc. Seminar SS 2018 Economics and Computation In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in topics at the intersection of economics and computer science, as witnessed by the continued rapid rise of research areas such as algorithmic game theory and computational social choice. This development is due to the emergence of computational networks such as the Internet as well as the need to get a grip on algorithmic questions in economics. The emphasis in this seminar lies on the independent study of classic economics papers, but also, and in particular, more recent papers from computer science. Among the topics to be covered are matching theory, mechanism design, and voting theory. Registration (*please read carefully*) Seats are split up between students from computer science and students from other programs. All interested students should attend the overview meeting and have to send an application by email briefly describing their background (including relevant courses) and motivation (up to 250 words) as well as 2-5 papers they are interested in. Deadline for applications: January 28, 2018 (11:59pm). Students from computer science additionally have to use the matching system for indication of interest. Notifications will be sent out on February 1 (mathematics) and Februrary 21 (computer science) and include assignment of papers and supervisors. Registration in TUMonline will be taken care of by the lecturers by end of February; no further action is required.

For other places with the same name, see Jasper (disambiguation). Jasper is a town in Jasper National Park in the Alberta Rockies region of Alberta, Canada. Located in the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, Jasper is the shy cousin to bold, brassy Banff and offers a more serene experience. Approximately four hours north of Banff and four hours west of Edmonton, capital of the province of Alberta. Most people enter the park via Edmonton. It can be reached by road or train. Highway 16, the Yellowhead Highway, connects Jasper to Edmonton, which has an international airport and is served by many major airlines. Highway 93, the Icefields Parkway, connects south through the Rockies to Lake Louise and onto Banff. Drivers will have to pay for a park admission pass as the town of Jasper is located within Jasper National Park. There are bus and train connections from Edmonton, Banff and Vancouver. Those driving to the park should be aware that a park fee of $20 per night applies. Annual passes are available for $89. There is no public transit. A few taxis and rental cars are available, and bikes can be rented in the summer. Hitchhikers report that getting a lift in Jasper is very easy. Jasper is small enough that most places can be easily walked to. Tour companies offer bus service to most of the major tourist destination including Maligne Lake, The Columbia Icefields and Miette Hot Springs. The two major companies in town are Brewster and SunDog. Both these companies offer similar tours at the same price. The only difference is the size of the tour group: Brewster uses large buses (seating approx. 50) and SunDog has smaller vehicles (seating approx. 12). Maligne Lake, which has regular boat trips to see the wonder of a lake with water two different colours in different parts. Spirit Island, made famous by a photography competition, is in the middle of Maligne Lake. The most common way to see it is to take the boat cruise (1.5 hours round trip). You can also rent canoes and kayaks, and, if you are prepared to camp at the other end of the lake, paddle the 8+ hours it takes to get there. Angel Glacier, take highway 93A to Mount Edith Cavell and take the 500m hike from the parking lot to view Angel glacier and its lake full of icebergs. A longer 5km trail (500m up) is also available for even better views. Note for 2017 a pass is required (line up at the Jasper into center to obtain for free, from 8-10am daily). The pass is required due to the continuing reconstruction of the parking lot and limited parking available. A few years prior ghost glacier (a smaller glacier next to Angel glacier), fell off the mountain into the lake, causing a tidal wave that destroyed the trail and parking lot below. Excellent camping in the summer. Cross Country and downhill skiing in winter. Rent a bike. Plenty of sport shops offer bikes, which are a great way to see the area. Miette Hot Springs, , are an excellent place to go and relax after a day of hiking. There is also a challenging 4 hour hike advertising the best views in the park that starts from the parking lot next to the hot springs. Maligne Canyon, . The river, up near Maligne Lake, flows in a mighty torrent. When it enters Medicine Lake (named in reference to bad medicine) it does so with great volumes. It does not, however, appear to flow out. Indeed, through the summer months Medicine Lake disappears until, in mid autumn all that is left is a thin channel that itself disappears into the shoreline. In Winter, walk on the canyon bottom to see masses of blue ice where waterfalls flow in the summertime! Athabasca Falls - The Athabasca River thunders through a narrow gorge where the walls have been smoothed and potholes are created by the sheer force of the rushing water carrying sand and rock. Parking and restroom facilities. Paved trail and picnic sites available. Mount Robson (The park's namesake peak is the highest in the Canadian Rockies at 3954 metres. Mount Robson Provincial Park is 217,200 hectares of stunning mountains, valleys, and waterways. Forests of spruce, fir, balsam, cedar and alder are home to an abundant array of wildlife including mountain goats, moose, deer, elk, marmot and squirrels and chipmunks. The Rearguard Falls of the Fraser River is the furthest migration point of the Pacific salmon. GyPSy Guide, Take a guided tour in your own car. The GyPSy Guide is a small electronic device that uses GPS technology to automatically trigger commentary about history, geology, directions and quirky Canadian stories, through your car stereo. Most of the hotels in or near Jasper have restaurants that will meet or beat your expectations for dining in a small community. Some are higher-toned than others, but across the board food is generally very good and portions tend to be hearty. In addition to the hotel restaurants, the town has several noteworthy dining spots as well as numerous restaurants catering to the hungry but penny-pinching skiers and other visiting outdoors-folk. Syrah's of Jasper, 606 Patricia St. Fine dining restauarant with great wine selection. Prices are moderately high, but not out of line for the finer restaurants in Jasper. Dead Dog Bar & Grill, a favorite among locals, the $7 burger & fries deal is probably the cheapest meal in town. Happy hour is on Fridays. Located on Connaught Street. Spooners, 610 Patricia St. Juice bar, gourmet coffees, teas, smoothies, homemade desserts and pastries, sandwiches, soups and salads. Something Else, 621 Patricia St. A Greek restaurant that serves up a variety of cuisine, and pizza. North Face Pizza, 618 Connaught Dr. Excellent pizza, great after a day at Marmot Basin! Sorrentino's Bistro Bar, 96 Geike St. Italian restaurant, popular Canadian chain. Sayuri's Japanese Restaurant, 410 Connaught Dr. Japanese cuisine, sushi.

– Theatre was once and can be a forum to present the news of the day. Newswrights United posited themselves as this, but their process of exploring a given topic turned into too lengthy and herculean an exercise to be a reliable methodology for this purpose. It still can be done regularly if the production expectations were scaled down. A group (especially a group of improvisers or sketch comics) could do this as a fly by night weekly or monthly exercise with minimal production value if they didn't take themselves and their material too seriously. – So many scripted or choreographed projects face pressure in boiling their weeks/months long process into a single, short production that can and often is quickly misinterpreted or underinterpreted. This to me emphasizes the importance of making your work clear enough that the audience will see and understand as much of what you want them to see as possible the first time around. Being vague is not an affordable luxury for the artist with a real message. – Performing artists worry a lot about the visual in their work but not the emotional tones of their work. This lends value to keeping the physical elements (blocking, choreography, scripting, etc) simple. The more complex those elements, the more difficult it becomes for the performer to allow the valuable undertones to come forth. – Directing is most challenged when limited to certain parameters, but it strengtens through practice your ability to work with what is available. – Directing with clarity takes significant, focused and engaged effort in that you want to make your intentions clear but you also want your performers to remain fully open, creative, expressive and generous with their work. – Giving feedback is important, and so is giving it in manageable, digestible doses. – Be willing as a director to accept a performer's product that is not what you had envisioned. This is not required and you are free to sculpt what is given, but what the performer gives you may be different and there is value within many of those differences. – Is moving into a shape of memory a two step process? Moving first into the shape of movement, then finding the sense memory that fully forms the shape of that memory? – Movement: A form of emotional and mental brainstorming? – Sense memory and associated movement can evoke a topic for exploration.

Fashionable ladies at the races. Photograph by Horace Nicholls, reproduced with kind permission of the Horace Nicholls Estate. 17 February, 2017 marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of an important and yet comparatively little-known British photographer. Perhaps more than any other photographer, Horace Nicholls has shaped our perception of Britain during the first decades of the twentieth century. Even though his name is probably unfamiliar, you will almost certainly recognise his iconic images of fashionable upper class ladies at Ascot or, in stark contrast, women munitions workers during the First World War. During the early twentieth century, Horace Nicholls was one of Britain's best known photographers. As one of the first photojournalists, Nicholls's work shaped that of succeeding generations. Nicholls photographed the 2nd Anglo-Boer War in South Africa. He clarified legal copyright in photographs in a landmark court case in 1901. He photographed Edwardian social and sporting events and documented the impact of total war on the British people. As Britain's first official photographer on the Home Front, he had unique access, particularly to women war workers. After the war, at the invitation of the Women's War Work Sub Committee, Nicholls became the first head of the new Imperial War Museum's photographic studio where he worked to secure and develop the museum's photographic collections. These five words, which have struck fear into the hearts of many, seem oddly out of place in the Wellcome Collection's impressive Reading Room. It's not just the location, rather that all participants including five from the IWM's Second World War Galleries team, are wearing false moustaches. How better to get into the mind-set of a would-be British Army officer in 1942? To celebrate the opening of the Tavistock Institute Archive papers on the War Office Selection Boards or WOSBs (pronounced wos-bees) at the Wellcome Library, a series of innovative workshops have been created to allow visitors to undergo the same military psychology tests that were used over 70 years ago. Although never kept a secret during the war, it has only been through the doctoral research of Alice White, and the meticulous cataloguing of the Tavistock Institute Archives by Elena Carter, that a wealth of information about the creation and development of the WOSBs testing programme has been uncovered. Co-created with Matt Gieve of the Tavistock Institute, these workshops will no doubt run for more than the initial four sessions planned. It was with great delight and pleasure that I received copies of my book, Dirty Wars: A Century of Counterinsurgency, which was published by The History Press on 6 October and will be published in North America in February 2017. This is the first book written for IWM by a member of staff to fully explore the origins and continuing importance and relevance of counterinsurgency. 'Who is the enemy?' This is the question most asked in modern warfare; gone are the set-piece conventional battles of the past. Once seen as secondary to more traditional conflicts, irregular warfare (as modified and refashioned since the 1990s) now presents a major challenge to the state and the bureaucratic institutions which have ruled the twentieth century, and to the politicians and civil servants who formulate policy. Over the weekend of 18-20 March an international conference took place in Leeds, focusing on resistance to the First World War. The conference, which I helped to organise, brought together academics, community groups, poets and storytellers from across the globe, including delegates who had travelled from Australia and the USA. The conference was envisaged following the suggestion that the prominent narratives during the First World War Centenary were limited to stories of those who had actively participated in the war effort. Stories of resistance to the war were missing from dominant narratives of remembrance and the conference sought to question what war resistance was, how acts of resistance were undertaken, and the significance of war resistance today. The presence of both academic and community focused research on resistance worked particularly well in addressing the many different facets of resistance; including the theoretical underpinnings of pacifism, international and transnational movements for peace, individual acts of conscious and unconscious resistance as well as national and local networks of resistance. On the evening of November 20 1983, 100 million Americans settled down to watch Nicholas Meyer's made-for-TV film The Day After. The film's focus was a familiarly normal community in rural Eastern Kansas in the lead up to, and aftermath of, nuclear war. It is shocking and arrestingly bleak viewing; moreover it was, and remained for years afterwards, the most highly rated TV film in US broadcast history. Its importance however, lies less in its status as a landmark media event than in what it demonstrates about the cultural imagination in the 1980s. The deterioration in relations between NATO and the Warsaw Pact raised for a new generation the meaningful prospect of nuclear apocalypse. The Day After is only one example of a notable manifestation of a contemporaneous burgeoning – and now largely forgotten – paranoia in the popular culture of the time. It's my conviction – and the focus for my PhD research – that such fictional responses don't just reflect the paranoia that was a product of the period, but that that they ultimately made a necessary and significant contribution to the eventual outcome.

Q: what does this code block do in this program? Code: temp = inp = int(input()) count = 0 while True: ten = temp//10 one = temp%10 result = ten + one count += 1 temp = int(str(temp%10)+ str(result%10)) if (inp == temp): break print(count) I was wondering what temp = int(str(temp%10) + str(result%10))is doing in this code. This code gets an input from the user, and gets the value of from tens and ones place, adds them, increment count and cycles them by adding the result and the number from the ones place until they become original input. A: In the line : temp = int(str(temp%10) + str(result%10)) First, you are calculating the modulo of temp and result by 10: this gives you 2 numbers. With the str command, you convert the number in string. With the + you are merging the two string one after the other. Then you convert your new string into an integer. For example if temp = 10 and result = 50 temp % 10 = 1 --> in str '1' result % 10 = 5 --> in str '5' You merge the two str: '1'+'5' = '15' --> in int = 15 A: That specific line: * *converts two integers into strings *concatenates the strings *converts the resulting string back to integer again Let's say that the user input is 1. * *temp would be equal to 1. *temp % 10 would evaluate to 1. *result would be equal to (1 // 10) + (1 % 10) = 1. *result % 10 would be 1. *If we convert the types of resulting integers from steps 3 and 4 into str, we can just concatenate them with +. The resulting string would be 11 (Because '1' + '1' is '11') An alternative approach to do that would be: f'{temp % 10}{result % 10}' *Now, passing the resulting string into int() would just convert it into an integer. Hope this helps.

Where Will the S&P 500 Be in a Year? How high can US equity markets go? For a sense of the S&P 500's direction, we conducted an informal poll of readers of CFA Institute Financial NewsBrief for their perspective on where they see the index a year from now. Despite the euphoria in the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump camps, there remains a great deal of uncertainty about the outcome of this election and what it will mean for the United States and the country's standing on the world stage. This uncertainty extends to the effect of US elections on stock prices, judging by the voluminous and often contradictory research on the topic. Investors should fear missing out on the best gains more than suffering the worst losses, says Michael Batnick, CFA. If you never attempt to avoid the worst weeks, you'll never have to worry about missing the best weeks. Despite Wall Street expectations that the S&P 500 would rise 8% in 2016, the index fell 7% in December and January. Five points of that decline came in January alone. But January's slide was only just greater than one standard deviation move. As we'll see, one month can handily destroy expectations going forward. Poll: What Poses the Greatest Threat to Global Equity Markets? As most global stock markets have been on a tear of late, we thought it would be timely to ask readers what posed the greatest threat to equity markets. Over 37% of the 974 respondents to this poll believe that a global economic slowdown is the greatest risk to stocks. Depending on who you talk to, or which articles and headlines you read, the responses run the gamut. Here's a quick summary of some of the most recent research on how presidential politics impacts equities.

Insights from industry Expanding Life Science Capabilities with Optical Fluorescence Interview conducted by Will SoutterMar 3 2014 In this interview, Dr. Mark R. Munch, president of Bruker Nano Surfaces and Bruker MAT Group, talks to AZoNano about the strategy behind the recent acquisition of Prairie Technologies, and how their optical fluorescence technology compliments Bruker Nano Surfaces' existing product lines. Bruker's Nano Surfaces division recently acquired Prairie Technologies. To begin with, can you tell us the strategy behind this acquisition? Our strategy for the acquisition was based on four things. First, it opens new markets for the Bruker Nano Surfaces division. We have been seeing growth in optical fluorescence and life science, and those are nice market segments for us to go into to grow our microscopy portfolio. The second reason is that it strengthens our position in life science overall. Bruker Nano Surfaces already has a significant presence in life science through our bio-AFM platforms and, with optical fluorescence microscopy being such a predominant tool in that field, it's a really great addition to our portfolio. The third reason is related to that combination of technologies. There is a lot of synergy between optical fluorescence microscopy and bio-AFM. For example, we have an optical integrated AFM—our BioScope Catalyst. Every Catalyst we sell ends up integrated with a fluorescence confocal microscope, so it's a natural step to try and gain that capability ourselves. The fourth reason is that we want to build on that synergy. We see that we can offer new ways to do experiments if we offer both capabilities. There is a lot of talk about correlative microscopy and combining results from more than one method. Not only can we do that, we can go beyond correlative microscopy and offer entirely new platforms for experimentation. We can imagine stimulus response measurements, for example, where we probe with an AFM and then watch the response optically. So there are a lot of reasons behind the move into this space. These are the four main ones, and they are pretty compelling to us. The Opterra Multipoint Scanning Confocal Microscope from Bruker's new Fluorescence Microscopy business (formerly Prairie Technologies) Can you tell us a bit about the technology and products that Prairie has to offer? Prairie's technology is based on two main platforms: multi-photon microscopy and multipoint scanning confocal microscopy. There is a lot of specialization within those platforms, but it's all really based on that. Prairie Technologies pioneered the multi-photon microscopy space commercially. Prairie was the first to offer apparatus allowing two-photon research, and that is their main platform in terms of sales. More recently, they have moved into multipoint scanning confocal microscopy. Most people in the world are using spinning disk systems, but Prairie's technology is based on laser galvanos, which offers some nice advantages over the spinning disk technologies. Across both those areas, Prairie offers a lot in terms of photoactivation, allowing users to ablate certain regions or stimulate the occurrence of certain events. Most people would concur that Prairie has some great leading technology in that area, and that it is applicable across both multi-photon and multipoint scanning microscopy. What does this technology bring to Bruker Nano Surfaces, and how does it complement your existing product lines? Multiphoton microscopy is a dominant technique in neurobiology because it allows you to inspect much deeper into tissues, using much longer wavelengths. You can also select wavelengths with less scattering and still harness the multiphoton or two-photon excitation to excite the molecules effectively. This technique has proven very useful, and it complements our existing products nicely because we have been doing a lot of work with applications of AFM in neurobiology. Multipoint scanning confocal microscopy is very useful in terms of live-cell imaging and picking up fast, dynamic events. Of course, that is also an area where AFMs are increasingly used, as well, with products such as our FastScan Bio. So the technology is certainly complementary in an application sense. How long has this acquisition deal been in the pipeline, and how did the discussion start? We started really studying the market in depth in 2012. A team here did a really deep survey into different segments of life science, and we started to get a grasp on what the real growth areas are and who had some leading capabilities in the space. Coming out of 2012 and into early 2013, we then started acting on it in terms of specific conversations, and we spent a lot of time getting to know Prairie. That process then led to closing the acquisition in the fall, in September through October. Did you know from quite early in the process that life science in general, and fluorescence microscopy in particular, was the area you wanted to look at? Absolutely. As part of our strategy as far back as 2010-2011, we had targeted that space. In 2012 we started executing on that strategy, sorting out the detail of who to target, and Prairie stood out as an ideal match with their leading technology in that area. Bruker Nano Surfaces has launched a number of new products in the bioscience space recently, and this is a strong growth area for Bruker as a whole. Is this an indicator of increased market demand in this sector? For Bruker Nano Surfaces specifically, it definitely strengthens our position and offering in life science. We have had a lot of activity in that area recently, beginning with the launch of the FastScan Bio AFM, which is capable of imaging dynamic events in a way that AFMs traditionally haven't been able to do. We've also made a lot of improvements to the Bioscope Catalyst optical integrated AFM. Now we are adding the Prairie products. We just released the Opterra Multipoint Scanning Confocal Microscope at ASCB in December. We are contributing a lot to the life science market, and this acquisition represents a commitment to do more. It's not just our product lines, either. This acquisition is also about strengthening our applications knowledge, being able to address customer needs, and offering better solutions in life science. Bruker as a whole has always been very active in life science, from identifying protein crystallization structures to preclinical imaging, and all those areas of life science are still very strong. Bruker currently spans many dimensions in life science, from whole-animal imaging in preclinical studies, right down to studies on the cellular or even electrical level. Is Prairie Technologies fully integrated within Bruker as a division or business unit? Where do they sit within the structure of Bruker Nano Surfaces? Prairie is a wholly intact business unit within Bruker Nano Surfaces. That means that Prairie operates as it always has. Existing customers won't notice a difference in responsiveness or customer service. Prairie has always been very responsive in terms of support, and also in terms of tailoring products to their customers' needs, and that will continue. Also, Prairie has always been very focused on North America. Being part of the Bruker Nano Surfaces division will enable them to offer their products to the rest of the world, as well, by leveraging our broader capabilities in sales, application support and service support. So customers will really see the best of both worlds, and Prairie will benefit from that as well. Bruker Nano Surfaces has conducted a number of acquisitions to bring in new product lines. Is this a longer term strategy for growth? The Bruker Nano Surfaces division does have a very strong business foundation from which to do acquisitions, but our primary objective is growing the businesses we have and delivering value to our customers. If an opportunity arises, as it did with Prairie, and it makes sense strategically for us, we will certainly look at those opportunities. But we will only consider further acquisitions in certain special cases. Our strategy is really to focus on organic growth from this point on, not to target growth through acquisitions. It has been a few months since the acquisition now. What has the response been, both internally and from customers, now that Prairie is settled in as part of Bruker? The response from all sides has been very positive. It's a great acquisition and a great fit. We've had very positive comments already from both sides of the customer base, from Prairie's existing customers and from our AFM users, and that's always very encouraging to see.

The ABC drama continues to grow by triple digits with time-shifting. Winning primetime with its Patriots-Texans match-up, NBC's Sunday Night Football averaged a dominant 13.9 overnight rating among households on Sunday. Its tentative score in the key demo of adults 18-49, based on Fast National stats that will be adjusted upwards when time zones are taken into account, is a 6.2 rating. With very strong football overrun for a lead-in, Fox had steady outings of The Simpsons (2.4 adults), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (1.7 adults), Family Guy (1.7 adults) and The Last Man on Earth (1.3 adults). On CBS, football overrun also delayed 60 Minutes. The news show netted an average 1.6 rating among adults 18-49 before the network's trio of dramas. Madam Secretary (1.3 adults) and CSI: Cyber (0.8 adults) were both steady, while The Good Wife ticked up two-tenths of a point to an average 1.1 rating among adults 18-49.

Q: Split string at space not inside quotes in C# Possible Duplicate: Regular Expression to split on spaces unless in quotes I need to split a specified string at all spaces in order to get arguments, however, I need all the text inside quotes to stay "un-split". For example: ab "c d" This needs to be split into 2 strings: 1. ab, 2. "c d". I attempted to use regex or write my own method to parse it, but had no luck. A: Definitely a duplicate as Bala R mentioned above. Regex regex = new Regex(@"\w+|""[\w\s]*"""); var str = "ab \"c d\""; var x = regex.Matches(str).Cast<Match>().ToList();

Markspring1978 replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole" Markspring1978 replied to FatherOfPugs's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole" @FatherOfPugs, this is awesome. Cherish the moment, the time each of my girls was born is among my greatest memories. I'll guess May 23rd at 0352 Are you going to set aside a box with the date code of the birth? I have a box of Sir Winston set aside with the month of my latest daughter's birthdate. Exhibition #4 MCS FEB 06- very nice smoke. Markspring1978 posted a topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole" I was pretty excited about this smoke. The Genios/Robusto Extra (52x140) is my favorite size, the Connie A most notably, and that's what the Hermitage comes in at. The wrapper is smooth and a lovely rosado color. I decided to pair this with a 2012 LBV Port. The serious port drinkers here like @Ken Gargett and @BrightonCorgi would likely not be impressed with my selection, but hey, here in Montana it's slim pickings for Port. A cold draw yielded aromas of cedar and barnyard. However, I could tell right away that this cigar might have construction issues as the draw was just off. This fella is just about 18 months old, I was concerned about it being too young, this is the first I have smoked from this box. I keep my humidor at 65%, I did not drybox before smoking. After lighting up I was immediately greeted with all the markers of a cigar that is too young; bitterness with a slightly sweet aftertaste, a bit like walnuts, although not exactly in a good sense. Over the first 1/3 the bitterness was also very tannic and dried my mouth out and I was left with an aftertaste of minerals and ash. The burn was really poor and uneven with the draw exacerbating the subpar flavors. As the first third moved into the second, I was encouraged to start to get some positive notes of dark chocolate and toasted tobacco. But they were more whiffs than full flavors. The lousy burn persisted and I had to re-light about 6 times. As I came down the home-stretch on the second third, nothing had given me too much to be excited about. This included the 38 degree temperatures and landscape of snow on my porch. So, I called it a day. So, you're probably picking up on a general dissatisfaction in this smoke. I was excited about this one, and it was pretty much a complete disappointment. These definitely need more time down, and hopefully that will improve them. As this stands right now I would rate this a 6 out of 10 or a 63 out of 100. Markspring1978 replied to Markspring1978's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole" Picked one up, have been meaning to for some time. Perhaps because I live in Montana where it's pretty dry, I rarely experience draw issues. I keep my humidor at 65/65. My thought was unlucky run. @FatherOfPugs - I have been thinking about a future box pass that has a whiskey element, not whole bottles, just samples. Something to think about... Anyway, a couple pickups in Vegas. Whiskey selection in Montana is lousy. I stored the cigars in a small Pelican hard case with a 65% Boveda. Interesting comments, I suppose that it is possible that the higher temps in Vegas caused more moisture to be released and that may have resulted in higher MC in the cigars. As there were no issues the day before, I didn't consider that, but possible. Hindsight, I would have dryboxed and then traveled with no Boveda. Had an awesome trip, except for day 2 with the cigars. I bet on Texas Tech straight up, and that worked out well. Took Auburn with the points, so that worked out as well, even though everyone is sure to remind me of what a wus I am. Also took a trip to Top Golf, we don't have those in Montana. What a blast! Had a great weekend in Vegas for a friend's bachelor party. Saturday was a great cigar day, excellent '16 Connie A, an '09 Choix, and a '15 Mag 56. All were remarkable cigars. Sunday was officially my worst cigar day ever. Started with a '15 Punch DC, intending to do a review for the weekend comp. Was really looking forward to this smoke, unfortunately it was plugged and after 30 minutes I had a terrible headache and gave up. After an hour or so, the banging subsided in my head, I lit up a '17 CoRo. Couldn't believe the same result. Plugged. I tried to hang in there, but the cigar was a disaster. Completely blew apart, terrible burn. That night I lit up a '15 Party E2, hoping to end on a positive note. Couldn't believe it, third plugged in a row. Not as bad as the DC and CoRo, but still not good. I guess it was bad luck. Fortunately, the previous day was awesome, and my bad luck was only with cigars, and didn't extend to the craps table!

U.S. State Department Warns China Has Begun Secretly Testing Nuclear Weapons Evidence of activity at the Lop Nur test site indicates banned testing on&nbsp17th April 2020 @ 1.00pm The State Department says it has evidence China is conducting banned nuclear tests The U.S. State Department has warned that China has begun secretly conducting banned testing of nuclear weapons. Officials say they have evidence China may have secretly set off low-level underground nuclear test explosions. Such activity has been discovered despite the Communist Party of China (CPC) claiming to observe an international pact banning such testing. The State Department revealed the discovery in a new report that could further fray U.S.-Chinese relations. Ties are already strained after President Donald Trump said the United States is investigating the possibility that coronavirus escaped from a Wuhan lab and was covered up by Beijing. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a daily briefing in Beijing that the U.S. is making false accusations, insisting that China was committed to a moratorium on nuclear tests. The report says there is disturbing evidence of secret activity at the remote Lop Nur test site in the western province of Xinjang The State Department report does not prove that China violated nuclear test ban treaties, but says there is disturbing evidence of secret activity at the remote Lop Nur test site in the western province of Xinjiang. Lop Nur was China's sole nuclear testing site until 1996 when both China and the U.S. signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and vowed to adhere to its terms. Now, the U.S. State Department says that suspicious activity at the site throughout 2019 raises concerns that Beijing is breaching the treaty's "zero yield" standard for test blasts. Zero yield refers to a nuclear test in which there is no explosive chain reaction of the type ignited by the detonation of a nuclear warhead. "China's possible preparation to operate its Lop Nur test site year-round, its use of explosive containment chambers, extensive excavation activities at Lop Nur and a lack of transparency on its nuclear testing activities ... raise concerns regarding its adherence to the zero yield standard," the State Department report said. Beijing's lack of transparency included blocking data transmissions from sensors linked to a monitoring center operated by the international agency that verifies compliance with a treaty banning nuclear test explosions. The 1996 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) allows activities designed to ensure the safety of nuclear weapons. A spokeswoman for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, which verifies compliance with the pact, told the Wall Street Journal there had been no interruptions in data transmissions from China's five sensor stations since the end of August 2019 following an interruption that began in 2018. A senior U.S. official said the concerns about China's testing activities buttressed President Trump's case for getting China to join the United States and Russia in talks on an arms control accord to replace the 2010 New START treaty between Washington and Moscow that expires in February. New START restricted the United States and Russia to deploying no more than 1,550 nuclear warheads, the lowest level in decades, and limited the land- and submarine-based missiles and bombers that deliver them. "The pace and manner by which the Chinese government is modernizing its stockpile is worrying, destabilizing, and illustrates why China should be brought into the global arms control framework," said the senior U.S. official on condition of anonymity. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a daily briefing in Beijing: "China has always adopted a responsible attitude, earnestly fulfilling the international obligations and promises it has assumed. "The U.S. criticism of China is entirely groundless, without foundation, and not worth refuting." A military parade shows China's Dongfeng 21D anti-ship ballistic missiles, capable of traveling more than 1,500 kilometers China, estimated to have about 300 nuclear weapons, has repeatedly rejected Trump's proposal, arguing its nuclear force is defensive and poses no threat. Russia, France, and Britain - three of the world's five internationally recognized nuclear powers - signed and ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which still requires ratification by 44 countries to become international law. China and the United States are among eight signatories that have not ratified it. But China has declared its adherence to its terms, while the United States has observed a unilateral testing moratorium since 1992. It comes after President Trump said on Wednesday the U.S. is trying to determine whether the coronavirus first crossed to humans accidentally during experiments with bats at the Wuhan Institute of Virology Lab. After information about the outbreak finally became public, Chinese leaders were quick to blame Wuhan's "wet market" where wild animals -- though not bats -- are sold for consumption, leading one source to tell Fox News the debacle is the "costliest government coverup of all time." "Patient zero" worked at the Wuhan lab, and spread the virus into the local population after leaving work, sources who had been briefed on intelligence told the outlet.

The previously discussed I-IV-V chord progressions of major triads is a subsequence of the circle progression, which ascends by perfect fourths and descends by perfect fifths: Perfect fifths and perfect fourths are inverse intervals, because one reaches the same pitch class by either ascending by a perfect fourth (five semitones) or descending by a perfect fifth (seven semitones). For example, the jazz standard Autumn Leaves contains the iv7-VII7-VIM7-iiø7-i circle-of-fifths chord-progression;[80] its sevenths occur in the tertian harmonization in sevenths of the minor scale.[81] Other subsequences of the fifths-circle chord-progression are used in music. In particular, the ii-V-I progression is the most important chord progression in jazz music. Justin is an instructor with that rare combination that encompasses great playing in conjunction with a thoughtful, likable personality. Justin's instruction is extremely intelligent because he's smart enough to know the 'basics' don't have to be served 'raw' - Justin keenly serves the information covered in chocolate. Justin's site is like a free pass in a candy store! A string's gauge is how thick it is. As a general rule, the thicker a string is the warmer its response will be and the more volume it will produce. However, thicker strings are also stiffer. This makes it harder to fret the string and makes it more difficult to execute heavy string bends. Thinner strings are generally brighter and easier to play, but on some instruments they can sound thin and tinny. There are many different styles of play. Chords are played by strumming all of the strings. Classical guitarists pluck the strings with their fingers and always play sitting down. Slide guitarists slide along the strings with a slide made of metal or glass. Whether you're interested in classical, bluegrass, flamenco, folk or blues, the acoustic guitar is something you can enjoy playing alone or in a group. With the massive range of options available, you'd have to spend the whole day here to go through every one. There are six and twelve-strings, models specifically made for beginners, limited edition double necks; you name it, you'll find it! For a real classic, strap on a Rickenbacker 330 electric guitar. A staple in 60's mod culture, the unique hollowbody construction, slim neck and contoured body make the Rickenbacker 330 so easy to play that it has held the status as one of the all-time greatest guitars for decades. Electric guitars and bass guitars have to be used with a guitar amplifier and loudspeaker or a bass amplifier and speaker, respectively, in order to make enough sound to be heard by the performer and audience. Electric guitars and bass guitars almost always use magnetic pickups, which generate an electric signal when the musician plucks, strums or otherwise plays the instrument. The amplifier and speaker strengthen this signal using a power amplifier and a loudspeaker. Acoustic guitars that are equipped with a piezoelectric pickup or microphone can also be plugged into an instrument amplifier, acoustic guitar amp or PA system to make them louder. With electric guitar and bass, the amplifier and speaker are not just used to make the instrument louder; by adjusting the equalizer controls, the preamplifier, and any onboard effects units (reverb, distortion/overdrive, etc.) the player can also modify the tone (aka timbre or "colour") and sound of the instrument. Acoustic guitar players can also use the amp to change the sound of their instrument, but in general, acoustic guitar amps are used to make the natural acoustic sound of the instrument louder without changing its sound that much. Guitar chords are dramatically simplified by the class of alternative tunings called regular tunings. In each regular tuning, the musical intervals are the same for each pair of consecutive strings. Regular tunings include major-thirds (M3), all-fourths, augmented-fourths, and all-fifths tunings. For each regular tuning, chord patterns may be diagonally shifted down the fretboard, a property that simplifies beginners' learning of chords and that simplifies advanced players' improvisation.[70][71][72] The diagonal shifting of a C major chord in M3 tuning appears in a diagram. Most electric guitar bodies are made of wood and include a plastic pick guard. Boards wide enough to use as a solid body are very expensive due to the worldwide depletion of hardwood stock since the 1970s, so the wood is rarely one solid piece. Most bodies are made from two pieces of wood with some of them including a seam running down the center line of the body. The most common woods used for electric guitar body construction include maple, basswood, ash, poplar, alder, and mahogany. Many bodies consist of good-sounding, but inexpensive woods, like ash, with a "top", or thin layer of another, more attractive wood (such as maple with a natural "flame" pattern) glued to the top of the basic wood. Guitars constructed like this are often called "flame tops". The body is usually carved or routed to accept the other elements, such as the bridge, pickup, neck, and other electronic components. Most electrics have a polyurethane or nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Other alternative materials to wood are used in guitar body construction. Some of these include carbon composites, plastic material, such as polycarbonate, and aluminum alloys. Minor chords arise as the tonic notes of minor keys that share the same key signature with major keys. From the major key's I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-viio progression, the "secondary" (minor) triads ii-iii-vi appear in the relative minor key's corresponding chord progression as i-iv-v (or i-iv-V or i-iv-V7): For example, from C's vi-ii-iii progression Am-Dm-Em, the chord Em is often played as E or E7 in a minor chord progression.[24] Among basic chords, the minor chords (D,E,A) are the tonic chords of the relative minors of the three major-keys (F,G,C): The modern word guitar, and its antecedents, has been applied to a wide variety of chordophones since classical times and as such causes confusion. The English word guitar, the German Gitarre, and the French guitare were all adopted from the Spanish guitarra, which comes from the Andalusian Arabic قيثارة (qīthārah)[4] and the Latin cithara, which in turn came from the Ancient Greek κιθάρα (kithara).[A] which comes from Persian word Sihtar. We can see this kind of naming in Setar, Tar, Dutar and Sitar. The word "Tar" at the end of all of these words is a Persian word that means "string".[6] There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar: the classical guitar (nylon-string guitar), the steel-string acoustic guitar, and the archtop guitar, which is sometimes called a "jazz guitar". The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the strings' vibration, amplified by the hollow body of the guitar, which acts as a resonating chamber. The classical guitar is often played as a solo instrument using a comprehensive finger-picking technique where each string is plucked individually by the player's fingers, as opposed to being strummed. The term "finger-picking" can also refer to a specific tradition of folk, blues, bluegrass, and country guitar playing in the United States. The acoustic bass guitar is a low-pitched instrument that is one octave below a regular guitar. By now, you've already decided whether to stick with the Guitar or to drop it. If you're one of the lucky few that stuck with it, in spite of having an extremely busy schedule with work and family obligations, congratulations. Contrary to popular belief, taking the time out for routine Guitar practice has tremendous benefits, even for the busiest of people.

As guitarist and songwriter he has been in a few bands, including Slice, The Harmonics and Starbank and has studied a form of Flamenco guitar. Although Jake has a range of fine guitars in his house his favourite music software is Sibelius and, having worked with Cubase for many years, is now moving over to Logic Pro. Electric guitars can have solid, semi-hollow, or hollow bodies; solid bodies produce little sound without amplification. Electromagnetic pickups convert the vibration of the steel strings into signals, which are fed to an amplifier through a patch cable or radio transmitter. The sound is frequently modified by other electronic devices (effects units) or the natural distortion of valves (vacuum tubes) or the pre-amp in the amplifier. There are two main types of magnetic pickups, single- and double-coil (or humbucker), each of which can be passive or active. The electric guitar is used extensively in jazz, blues, R & B, and rock and roll. The first successful magnetic pickup for a guitar was invented by George Beauchamp, and incorporated into the 1931 Ro-Pat-In (later Rickenbacker) "Frying Pan" lap steel; other manufacturers, notably Gibson, soon began to install pickups in archtop models. After World War II the completely solid-body electric was popularized by Gibson in collaboration with Les Paul, and independently by Leo Fender of Fender Music. The lower fretboard action (the height of the strings from the fingerboard), lighter (thinner) strings, and its electrical amplification lend the electric guitar to techniques less frequently used on acoustic guitars. These include tapping, extensive use of legato through pull-offs and hammer-ons (also known as slurs), pinch harmonics, volume swells, and use of a tremolo arm or effects pedals. As their categorical name suggests, extended chords indeed extend seventh chords by stacking one or more additional third-intervals, successively constructing ninth, eleventh, and finally thirteenth chords; thirteenth chords contain all seven notes of the diatonic scale. In closed position, extended chords contain dissonant intervals or may sound supersaturated, particularly thirteenth chords with their seven notes. Consequently, extended chords are often played with the omission of one or more tones, especially the fifth and often the third,[92][93] as already noted for seventh chords; similarly, eleventh chords often omit the ninth, and thirteenth chords the ninth or eleventh. Often, the third is raised an octave, mimicking its position in the root's sequence of harmonics.[92] The main purpose of the bridge on an acoustic guitar is to transfer the vibration from the strings to the soundboard, which vibrates the air inside of the guitar, thereby amplifying the sound produced by the strings. On all electric, acoustic and original guitars, the bridge holds the strings in place on the body. There are many varied bridge designs. There may be some mechanism for raising or lowering the bridge saddles to adjust the distance between the strings and the fretboard (action), or fine-tuning the intonation of the instrument. Some are spring-loaded and feature a "whammy bar", a removable arm that lets the player modulate the pitch by changing the tension on the strings. The whammy bar is sometimes also called a "tremolo bar". (The effect of rapidly changing pitch is properly called "vibrato". See Tremolo for further discussion of this term.) Some bridges also allow for alternate tunings at the touch of a button. So with that in mind, would you like to learn the guitar on your own or with others? The choice is yours at Guitar Center.

Instead, I specialize primarily in American roots music (that which we tend to casually lump together as "folk" … Read More A chord is inverted when the bass note is not the root note. Chord inversion is especially simple in M3 tuning. Chords are inverted simply by raising one or two notes by three strings; each raised note is played with the same finger as the original note. Inverted major and minor chords can be played on two frets in M3 tuning.[56][74] In standard tuning, the shape of inversions depends on the involvement of the irregular major-third, and can involve four frets.[75] The standard guitar has six strings, but four-, seven-, eight-, nine-, ten-, eleven-, twelve-, thirteen- and eighteen-string guitars are also available. Classical and flamenco guitars historically used gut strings, but these have been superseded by polymer materials, such as nylon and fluorocarbon. Modern guitar strings are constructed from metal, polymers, or animal or plant product materials. Instruments utilizing "steel" strings may have strings made from alloys incorporating steel, nickel or phosphor bronze. Bass strings for both instruments are wound rather than monofilament. Only two or three frets are needed for the guitar chords—major, minor, and dominant sevenths—which are emphasized in introductions to guitar-playing and to the fundamentals of music.[87][88] Each major and minor chord can be played on exactly two successive frets on exactly three successive strings, and therefore each needs only two fingers. Other chords—seconds, fourths, sevenths, and ninths—are played on only three successive frets.[89] As with most chords in this list, a clear G major chord depends on curling your first finger so the open fourth string rings clearly. Strum all six strings. Sometimes, it makes sense to play a G major chord using your third finger on the sixth string, your second finger on the fifth string, and your fourth (pinky) finger on the first string. This fingering makes the move to a C major chord much easier. If you're looking for some of our older videos - you can browse the guitar lessons archive.

Home > How Does a Surety Bond Work? You are starting a new venture and have just been informed that you need to get a surety bond. You feel like your never ending list just to get started has expanded into an area you know nothing about. Well rest easy, we're here to make this as simple as possible. Read on to learn what surety bonds are, what they do, what they cost, and potential issues you may encounter. In this article we will specifically be referring to commercial bonds, click here to learn how contract bonds work. First, what is a surety bond and why do I need it? The abbreviated story is a surety bond is a three party agreement. It involves you, the surety (typically a large insurance company) and the people telling you to get a bond (the obligee). The bond is put in place to guarantee something, there are a lot of surety bonds types out there, but in short they all guarantee you will abide the rules. These bonds do not protect you, but rather your customer (or the obligee in the case of financial guarantee bonds). Get more detailed information on what surety bonds are here. What do you need to get bonded? Are you ready to get going? Commercial bonds will be underwritten using a verity of tools; among them are person credit, personal and business financials, and the legal language used on the bond form itself. Learn more about the information you must provide to get bonded here. After a review of the above information, you will be assigned a rate by your underwriter. This rate multiplied by the bond amount required will get you your annual premium. For example, if you are required to get a $25,000 Florida Motor Vehicle Dealer Bondm, and the underwriter assigns you a 2% Rate, then you yearly premium will be $500. Read on here to learn more about the cost of a surety bond, and ways to reduce your premium. Now that your surety bond is in place it's time to learn how it really works, and you may be surprised. As we discussed earlier, a bond is there to guarantee something. Let's revisit the previous example of the $25,000 Florida Motor Vehicle dealer bond. Let's say the bond is now on file with the obligee (the state is the obligee in this instance) and the dealer has opened for business. If the auto dealer abides by the rules and regulations of his auto dealership license as set forth by the state, then the bond itself goes mostly unnoticed. The surety bond only goes to work when a claim is filed. Pretend in this example scenario, the Florida MVD was to sell a car, yet never transfer the title to the customer's name after the purchase. The customer who bought the car could file a claim against the auto dealer's bond for the cost of the car. The surety would then investigate, and if they found the claim to be legitimate, the bond would pay out to the customer. As you can see from this example, surety bonds are required as consumer protection guarantees. This is sounding a lot like insurance isn't it? Well a surety bond is very different than insurance. With traditional insurance, you pay your premiums, and if you have an incident, the insurance covers the damages. Sure, your premiums might go up a little bit, but all is forgiven. Surety bonds are not like that. When a bond claim is paid on your bond, the surety will look to you for repayment in full. Further, a paid bond claim may affect your future ability to get bonded. So why do I need a surety bond? Why can't I just take the risk that somebody sues me someday? If these don't protect me, why should I pay for them? These are typical questions new business owners ask themselves. As confusing and scary as surety bonds can sound, the bottom line is, if you've been told you need a surety bond, you simply cannot legally operate your business without one. The reality of business is, consumers want to know they are protected. But, if you run a responsible business and resolve issues as they come up, you won't ever have to worry about your bonds being paid out. Finally, most bonds are renewed annually (though some have specific language on the bond form that calls for a different term). Bryant Surety will automatically shop the lowest rates for you each year, and contact you with your lowest possible rate at renewal time, so all you need to worry about is your day to day operations, and we take care of the rest.

How Fleetwood Mac Changed When Christine McVie Joined The Lineup By William Kennedy/Dec. 1, 2022 10:15 am EST After a brief illness, singer-songwriter Christine McVie died peacefully on November 30 at the age of 79, according to a post on behalf of the McVie family on her official Instagram account. The exact nature of the illness was not disclosed, though last June she told Rolling Stone she was in "quite bad health," especially plagued with debilitating back problems. McVie was in the hospital and surrounded by family when she died, the McVie family statement read (via CNN). Fleetwood Mac also confirmed the death of their bandmate on Twitter. Born in 1943, McVie, also a solo artist, was perhaps best known for her work with the English-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. McVie was married to Fleetwood Mac band member John McVie when she joined the already-established group in 1970. At that time, Fleetwood Mac was known for playing blues-rock music, and founding member Peter Green had just recently left the lineup, as Smooth Radio explains. With McVie in the band, Fleetwood Mac released "Rumours," one of the best-selling albums in history (per AllMusic). Only a matter of months before she died, the musician told The Guardian that her place in the band was far from assured, and her addition helped change the band's overall sound and direction. McVie played in a band called Chicken Shack before she joined Fleetwood Mac John Downing/Getty Images Born Christine Perfect, McVie (pictured) married Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie in 1968. Her father was a college professor and concert violinist, and she was training to be a classical pianist, a career objective thoroughly derailed when she discovered American rock and roll, writes Rolling Stone. Early on in her career, she played in a British blues-rock band called Chicken Shack, with a sound not unlike early Fleetwood Mac. With that, Christine was a rare woman in a 1960s-era blues-rock music scene dominated for the most part by men, according to her 2022 interview with The Guardian. Of those early days, Christine said (via The Guardian), "there were very few women, especially playing the blues, but I never felt singled out." She continued, "It just all came very naturally to me when I was with Chicken Shack and things started happening for them. ... It just all fell into place and was really fantastic." Because of her connection to Chicken Shack and blues music, and her marriage to John McVie, Christine may have seemed a good fit when Peter Green left the group. According to Christine, though, when she was approached to play keyboards in the band, she felt the band's sound might have to change. Not long after she joined, Fleetwood Mac moved to the U.S. to begin their most successful pop era after two more musicians, Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, joined the lineup (via Britannica). Chicken Shack opened for Fleetwood Mac As McVie went on to explain in her 2022 Guardian interview, her early band Chicken Shack opened for Fleetwood Mac, and one day after Peter Green left, the band was rehearsing in their U.K. practice space as McVie socialized with the wives of other band members. As McVie recalled, the band emerged from their rehearsal room and said, "'Hey Chris, do you want to join?' I couldn't believe my luck," McVie said. "Are you serious?!" she responded. "I'm just a girl who plays piano ... The style had to change because I was a keyboard player," McVie continued, and as a result, the music "developed a more commercial bent. It was thrilling, and I have to say to this day it still kind of is, knowing that I did that," McVie said. In 2020, Fleetwood Mac founding member Mick Fleetwood also remembered his band's transformation during this time period, speaking with Ultimate-Guitar.com. "​​(W)e sort of disappeared. And then we went to America and came back sometime later with a very different lineup," Fleetwood said, and as result, fans responded, "Oh my God, it's a different band!' But for me and John (McVie, bass) and Christine (McVie, vocals and keyboards) to some large extent, we just morphed our way without really realizing we were changing that much because we were just carrying on undercover in a different country," Fleetwood added. According to Smooth Radio, Christine and John McVie divorced in 1976 but continued to perform in Fleetwood Mac together.

For obvious reasons, direct expressions of protest during slavery were dangerous. Yet, it is very clear that some of the songs created by enslaved people served as expressions of protest. Creators of the songs went to considerable lengths to disguise the true meaning of the lyrics. For those within the enslaved community, however, the meanings were very clear. The best example of a protest spiritual is the song commonly called "I Got Shoes," but also known as "Heav'n, Heav'n."

(SOCIAL MEDIA) What exactly is Clubhouse, and why is it the quarantine app sensation? There's a few reasons you should definitely be checking out right now! Anais Dersimonian, Staff Writer The new exclusive app Clubhouse is challenging what social media can be – and it might possibly be the best thing to blow up during quarantine. Developed by ex-Google employee Rohan Seth and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Paul Davison, Clubhouse has only been gaining in popularity since lockdown. Here's why you need to join immediately: What is Clubhouse? Clubhouse is like if subreddit pages were live podcasts. Or maybe if niche, topic-centric Zoom chatrooms could connect you with people from all over the world. But it's ONLY audio, making it perfect for this period of lockdown where no one truly looks their best. From networking events to heated debates about arts and culture to book clubs, you can truly find anything you want on Clubhouse. And if you don't see a room that peaks your interest, you can make one yourself. Why is it special? Here's my hot take: Clubhouse is democratizing the podcast process. When you enter a room for women entrepreneurs in [insert your industry], you not only hear from the established experts, but you'll also have a chance to listen to up-and-coming users with great questions. And, if you want, you can request to speak as well. If you click anyone's icon, you can see their bio and links to their Instagram, Twitter, etc. For professionals looking to network in a deeper way, Clubhouse is making it easier to find up and coming creatives. If you're not necessarily looking to network, there's still so much niche material to discover on the app. Recently, I spent an hour on Clubhouse listening to users discuss the differences in American and British street fashion. It got heated, but I learned A LOT. The celebrities! Did I mention there's a TON of celebrities on the app? Tiffany Haddish, Virgil Abloh, and Lakeith Stanfield are regulars in rooms – and often host scheduled events. The proximity to all kinds of people, including the famous, is definitely a huge draw. How do you get on? Anyone with an iPhone can make an account, but as of now you need to be "nominated" by someone in your contacts who is already on the app. Think Google+ but cooler. With lockdown giving us so much free time that our podcasts and shows can't keep up with the demand, Clubhouse is a self-sustaining content mecca. Rooms often go on for days, as users in later time zones will pick up where others left off when they need to get some sleep. And the cycle continues. Though I'm still wrapping my brain around it, I can say with fair certainty that Clubhouse is very, very exciting. If you have an hour (or 24) to spare, try it out for yourself – I promise, you won't be disappointed.

Google has released a new core algorithm (SOCIAL MEDIA) Superpage is a contact page for influencers that also allows users with a fanbase to charge fans money for guaranteed attention on their message. At times, our inboxes can get out of control. Besides email from our family and friends, marketing and spam emails wind up in there, too. While for some of us, it isn't too bad to handle. Some people might find it a little harder to manage because of the great influx of messages they receive. And, some of those people are influencers. Well, that is one company's target – if you have a fanbase, you have an influence. Superpage is a "contact page for influencers." According to the company's website, their product will help influencers declutter their inboxes and offer them a better communication setup. "DMs & e-mails were built for generic human communication. With huge follower-base & more people seeking their time, influencers need a slightly different communication setup – designed just for them. That's what we're building at Superpage – a communication system uniquely crafted for influencers," wrote Superpage Founder Srivatsa Mudumby. Who can get Superpage? Superpage is meant for influencers, creators, artists, writers, entrepreneurs, and just about anyone with a social media presence. The platform allows fans to directly connect with influencers by letting them send a message through the influencer's Superpage. So, instead of hoping to receive a reply from the DM they sent on Instagram or TikTok, Superpage guarantees a reply, as long as it isn't illicit or spammy of course. But, while Superpage lets fans communicate with their idol, it doesn't do so for free. Fans "pay what they want" to send a message. However, the website doesn't make it clear whether what you pay makes a difference. If someone pays more, will their message get prioritized? I doubt a $10 ticket gave anyone the chance to choose between general admission or VIP. You sign up and set up your personalized page by adding a bio, display picture, cover photo, topics you'd like to discuss, etc. Once you link your bank account to your Superpage account, you can share your page on social media, website, or blog post. Through your unique "Superpage link" anyone can send you "Super texts" (messages). In your Dashboard, you can view, manage, and reply to your messages. Superpage uses "restricted messaging", which means each sender receives a limited number of messages to follow-up. Once you're finished replying, the conversation will automatically close. There is no monthly fee to use Superpage. The company makes money by charging a 5% commission plus credit card fees. And, it uses Stripe to process payments directly to the influencer's bank account. "People want to talk to influencers of the world but because of huge volume of messages & poor incentivization, influencers can never respond to everyone mindfully. We spoke to a ton of influencers and almost everyone complained "my inboxes are spammed," wrote Mudumby. Superpage does provide a new way for fans to reach out to their idols, but is it more like a way for them to charge for office hours? One thing is for sure, it's a way for influencers to reach out to fans, but make money in the process, too. It's up to you to decide if it's something you'd put your money into. As for a decluttered inbox, it does seem like all those emails and messages might not end up in your messy inbox. Instead, they will live on the platform's dashboard in a, hopefully, more organized manner. (SOCIAL MEDIA) Gen Z's favorite app TikTok is the modern epicenter for cultural appropriation – why you as a business owner should care. Quarantine has been the catalyst for a sleuth of new cultural phenomena – Tiger King, Zoom, and baking addictions, to name a few. Perhaps most notably, TikTok has seen user numbers skyrocket since lockdown. And I don't think those numbers are going down any time soon. TikTok is a very special place. More so than any other social media apps I've engaged with, TikTok feels like a true community where total strangers can use the app's duet or audio features to interact in creative, collaborative ways. However, being able to use another user's original audio or replicate their dance has highlighted the prevalence of cultural appropriation on TikTok: the app, as wholesome as it may be at times, has also become a hot bed for "virtual blackface". The most notable example of appropriation has to do with the Renegade dance and Charli D'Amelio – who is young, White, and arguably the most famous TikTok influencer (she is second only to Addison Rae, who is also White). The dance, originally created by 14-year-old Black user Jalaiah Harmon, essentially paved the way for D'Amelio's fame and financial success (her net worth is estimated to be $8 million). Only after Twitter backlash did D'Amelio credit Harmon as the original creator of the dance to which she owes her wealth – up until that point, the assumption was the dance was hers. There is indeed a myriad of exploitative and appropriative examples of TikTok videos. Some of the most cringe-worthy include White users pantomiming black audio, in many cases affecting AAVE (African American Vernacular English). Styles of dance and music that were pioneered by Black artists have now been colonized by White users – and many TikTokers are not made aware of their cultural origins. And what's worse: TikTok's algorithms favor White users, meaning White-washed iterations of videos tend to get more views, more engagement and, subsequently, more financial gains for the creator. As you can imagine, TikTok's Black community is up in arms. But don't take it from me (a non-Black individual) – log onto the app and listen to what Black users have to say about cultural appropriation for yourself. Still, the app is one of the fastest growing. Companies are finding creative ways to weave their paid ads and more subliminal marketing strategies into the fabric of the 'For You' page. In many ways, TikTok is the next frontier in social media marketing. With a few relevant locational hashtags and some innovative approaches to advertising, your business could get some serious FREE attention on TikTok. In fact, it's the future. As aware and socially conscious small business owners, we need to make sure that while we are using the app to get ours, that the Black creators and artists who made the app what it is today are also getting theirs. Anything short of direct accountability for the platform and for caustic White users would be offensive. (SOCIAL MEDIA) Twitter has enacted changes to how frequently Promoted Tweets – i.e., ads – are seen by users, and in true Twitter fashion, there's mixed opinions. Robert Snodgrass, Staff Writer Did anyone else ever watch the Strong Bad Emails cartoons from Homestarrunner? One of the running gags there – and subsequently one of my favorite bits – was when he'd just delete a fan's email outright while insulting the author. Strong Bad was great at laying down the delete hammer and had zero cares in the world about doing it. The idea that you – as a user, person, entity – can reclaim a little bit of omniscient authority is powerful. Generally, we like being in control of our lives, and the ability to exercise that authority resonates deeply. Digital companies are still coming to terms with the idea that their users maintain some ability to revolt against their new policies, trying to straddle the line between new features and improved tools while still keeping an existing audience happy. Typing "hate the new" into Google will show results solely around new interfaces and an endless string of abhorrence. The new Facebook layout is bad. The new Gmail is bad and here's how to revert it. I'm sure others exist for any widely used app or service. Sometimes even new logos incite rage. I'm not here to make a statement either way, but usually there's some ground in between pure opinion and justifiable discussions about user interface and experience. Regardless, change can make users upset. Twitter recently rolled out changes to how Promoted Tweets work. You should know first that a promoted tweet is just an ad, and were originally set to appear only once per timeline. However, recent updates to Twitter's internal services has resulted in some users reporting the same ad being shown multiple times in rapid succession, and even repeatedly over and over. Think about Google search results – there are definitely ads at the top of the first page, and they are usually relevant to the topic at hand and only show up in that area. A user can quickly scroll downward past this and look through other results. But imagine how frustrating it might be to have a first page riddled primarily with ads, effectively choking out other results. Twitter maintains that, "we're thoughtful in how we display Promoted Tweets, and are conservative about the number of Promoted Tweets that people see in a single day." This has led some users to believing this behavior indicates some kind of issue with their internal systems. I like to think about the scene in Office Space where Michael Bolton (not the singer) mentions that he may have put a decimal in the wrong place; that is, there's a configuration error at Twitter instead of some kind of sea change. However, Twitter has said this is not a glitch. In fact, they stated it was intentional, and further clarified that, "We regularly experiment and deploy changes to our advertising experience. We are constantly innovating and testing, and will continue to adapt as we learn." Despite worldwide complaints, Twitter has not officially acknowledged this situation as problematic. As a result, many users have taken to blocking the advertisers involved with the Promoted Tweets. Much like Strong Bad exercising his ultimate authority over his domain, this means that companies are in danger of losing their ability to reach users entirely. As this number grows, the consequences could widespread, and it will be interesting to see if Twitter changes their outlook and/or has potential pressure from advertisers. Twitter has stated that this may simply be temporary to exhaust a surplus of ad inventory, and this remains to be seen. As users continue to voice their complaints, it will be interesting to see how the situation ultimately resolves.

Many meatloaf recipes are used with breadcrumbs, and put sugary ketchup on top, and are therefore not keto. To make it keto, I use ground flaxseed (aka flaxmeal) in the recipe below to help keep it sturdy, and I use a sugar-free ketchup instead. 1/2 cup of sugar-free ketchup. I used Alterna Sweets Classic Tomato Ketchup, which I discovered from my monthly Keto Krate subscription box. Remove from oven and spread the ketchup over the top. Put back in oven for another 30 minutes. Check internal temperature. It should be 160 F in the center. If not, bake in 5-10 minute intervals and keep checking temp until 160. Rest for 5 or 10 minutes, then slice and enjoy!

A friend wants me to make him an offer on a Frabil hideout. It's two years old with the arctic material. Can anyone tell me how much you would offer? I really have no idea what it's worth. Ive never seen the hieout. How big is it, tub or suitcase? What shape is it in? The hideout looks like a decent rig though on 72"x72" I find it a tad small for 3 people. For a couple bucks more you can have a nice flip over from Frabill which is much better. I'm going flip next year, just can't afford it this year My Farbill Venture is only a year old, and works great so far but I want one for the "the run and gun days".

It is 3.38am now as I'm tapping away and @evonnz is in the bathtub having a soak after our long day! Haven't had the time to update earlier, gosh. Gonna keep it short and sweet if possible cos I feel compiled to update even though I really don't have that much time to! When abroad, time is a huge commodity and wasting any bit of time irks me. On Friday, we went back to Juno Hair again for another shampoo/blowdry, and the staff were so happy to see us again! They are really sweet!! My hairstylist (her name is Shim Sol Lip) did curls for me this time and I really liked the way it looked, sort of tousled and natural and very different from the usual kind of curls! I find that my hair is too short though. Still trying to grow out the hair! Checked into our new hotel at Myeong Dong, after which we cabbed down to Hapjeong to meet Mel, Shine and Melvin, who were in Korea too, coincidentally! The lip color that I'm wearing in the above picture is Étude House's Color Lips-Full liquid lipstick in PK02! It's extremely bright and pigmented and I love how lasting it is! New fetish for liquid lip tints and this is going into my stash of favourites! I love pink lip colors the best. So going for that K-beauty look! Can pass ma? MY FAV, this baby German shepherd puppy that was tooooo adorable!! It was soooo furry and floppy and innocent looking that I fell in love with it! After Bowhaus, all of us headed to Hongdae and we spent hours strolling through the streets, shopping and etc. We visited Style Nanda too and I wasn't really into the clothes but 3CE makeup was 😍😍😍! I controlled myself and only got three items, but @evonnz went on a spree hahahaa. 3CE is not sold in Singapore so I think it's still worth buying! Photobooth print-out from Style Nanda: they had a photo booth inside the shop! Coolios much. We picked a random BBQ restaurant along the streets to have dinner at, and it was decent and quite cheap (less than 10,000 won per pax). Thank goodness I love meat so much cos I'm enjoying it to death in Korea! Like a shiok only! My eyes are closing shut against my will.. Can't update anymore!

'The mood is rather flat' - Swansea City expert on whether they can do Bristol City and Middlesbrough a favour against Derby County Anything other than a Derby win will do for City David Byrom Swansea City manager Graham Potter (Image: Ryan Hiscott/JMP) GET THE LATEST ROBINS NEWS STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX Bristol City are hoping for a favour this evening. The Robins gave their play-off hopes a shot in the arm with last night's 2-1 victory over Millwall. Goals from Jamie Paterson and Famara Diedhiou helped the Robins come from behind to take a vital three points that leaves them a point behind Derby County and Middlesbrough in the race for sixth place. Yet Derby play Swansea City tonight in a game in hand that could well extinguish the Robins' play-off hopes once and for all. If the Rams take victory, then there will be no chance of the Robins making the top six - but anything less and it will go down to the last game of the season on Saturday. Ahead of the game, Teesside Live spoke to WalesOnline football writer Ian Mitchelmore to get the lowdown on Swansea and whether Middlesbrough and Bristol City can count on a favour from Graham Potter's side. What's the general mood at Swansea after conceding the two late goals to draw with Hull? Matty Taylor of Bristol City is closed down by Declan John of Swansea City (Image: Dougie Allward/JMP) "Having had faint hopes of reaching the play-offs, the mood has quickly turned rather flat after what was a hugely disappointing draw against Hull. "Swansea were in control and led 2-0 with 13 minutes left on the clock. But Hull were much improved in the second half and probably deserved a share of the spoils if truth be told. "The last two matches now feel somewhat irrelevant, and the attention has quickly shifted to the summer transfer window which could be yet another turbulent one." Ahead of that game - and at 2-0 up - was there a genuine belief Swansea could sneak into the top six? "Swansea were huge outsiders, but while there was a mathematical chance of finishing in the final play-off berth, there was still belief. "But with the favours that Swansea would have needed, the general belief that it was never really going to happen." 'They don't want to play for this club again' - Millwall manager Neil Harris gives explosive interview after Bristol City defeat On the back of that 2-2 draw, what do you expect from Swansea on Wednesday? Will they be flat or has Potter got his squad looking at the bigger picture and ahead to next season? "It's all about next season for Swansea. Graham Potter has built a squad that has fully bought into his methods, and the players quite simply love playing for the current manager. "Those on the fringes will be hoping to make a mark with a view to becoming more prominent figures next season while those who are in the set-up will hope to maintain their improvement under Potter in these final two outings. "Swansea are also unbeaten at home in the league in 2019 so that's a record they'll be aiming to keep intact." Bristol City's 11-year high and Jamie Paterson's perfection - Robins talking points after Millwall win How do you expect the Derby game to unfold? "I think it could be quite an open game with the way the two sides play. And with that, there should be goals too. Swansea will be desperate to sign off on a high in what will be their final home game of the season, but Derby are in pole position to finish in sixth place. "For the first time in a while, I'm not predicting a home win, although I fancy Swansea to get a point."

Home»Movies»Movies by Decade»Movies - 1970s Movies - 1970s Movies - F 4 Mins Read Fourth Wish, The (1976) Filmed in Adelaide, the Australian film The Fourth Wish is the story of a 12-year-old boy dying of leukaemia which had already been told as a three-part ABC television series in 1974. It proved popular enough to be repeated shortly after it was first shown, and the writer, Michael Craig, then rewrote the script into a feature film. The boy, Sean, is played by 13-year-old Robert Bettles, and it's a fine performance in a role which requires him to convey many things at once. He is supposed to know that he is dying yet not want to admit that he knows. He is to show concern for his father without being cute about it. In other words, he is supposed to come across as a 12-year-old saint unblemished by sanctimoniousness or awareness beyond his years. And he does it by understating everything and conveying an essential calmness which works well against the more explosive style of John Meillon who plays Casey, Sean's shift-working father whose wife left him to bring up their son alone eight years ago. It's not a great life. When the boy is at home at night, he's at work, the landlord is unsympathetic, and the flat is small and dull. But Sean makes it all worthwhile and Casey can't believe it when the boy, after collapsing at school, is taken to the hospital and diagnosed with leukaemia. But, painfully, he lets himself be convinced and trains himself not to have too much hope in the drugs and the blood transfusions. Instead, he gives up his job and concentrates on making Sean's last months as happy as possible. There is a camping trip and a game in which Sean makes three wishes, which Casey promises to fulfil. He wants a dog and to meet both his mother and the Queen. For Casey this is supposed to be a journey in which he discovers himself, and the script works hard to have it seen that way, but the mechanics are not ingenious enough. The film's best sequences deal with Casey's efforts to grant the second wish, a meeting with the boy's mother, Connie. There are no gimmicks in this part of the story, just a well-drawn picture of a realistic relationship and a great performance by Robyn Nevin as Connie, a woman who thinks she is well beyond caring about anything except whisky. While she pulls herself together long enough to do as Casey asks and not disappoint the boy, the script resists all temptation to become sentimental about her. Meillon's performance is not so interesting. He has done more than any other actor to define a particular Australian type, the sort of man who masks unworldliness with bombast and would rather pretend to be angry than let anyone see that he's hurt. But he is now letting the character calcify. He has done all that Casey does many times before. The mannerisms are too pat. But the film's real trouble is in the writing. It doesn't give Casey and Sean enough people to play off. It surrounds them with caricatures so that it is only in the scenes with Connie that the film really comes alive. It's a complex story given an uncomplicated treatment, which is sad because when it's good, it's very good. The Fourth Wish was nominated for 5 AFI (Australian Film Institute) Awards, including Best Actress in a Lead Role for Robyn Nevin, Best Screenplay for Michael Craig, Best Achievement in Editing for Gerard Turney-Smith, and Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Anne Haddy. In the end, the film won one AFI Award, for Best Actor in a Lead Role, for the movie's star John Meillon.

A few days had passed since Gramps had been admitted. He had broken his leg and that was the reason why he couldn't stand. The incident had put a damper on my holiday mood. There were just three days left before my grandparents left. Gramps had spent most of his time in the hospital. Grandma tried to comfort me in her own way. She baked, cooked and even played Jenga and football with me. Somehow it was not the same. I missed Gramps. I heard the door open and I watched as Dad helped Gramps in. He was on a wheelchair. There were definitely not going to be any walks in the near future. I flung myself at him and gave him a big hug. "Careful dear! His leg isn't fully healed yet!" said my Mom. I nodded and took a step back. "It's great to be back." said Gramps. Even though I went to meet him everyday, I found him looking drained and tired. "I've got hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies waiting for you." said Grandma. She bent down and gave Gramps a kiss on the forehead. "For me or for him?" asked Gramps nodding my way and laughing. "For everyone!" replied Grandma laughing. The weather was still playing truant. We could hear the wind outside and the rain splattered across the windows. My Dad lit a fire and we sat in the living room with hot chocolate. Grandma had outdone herself. The cookies were magnificent. Gramps called my Dad over. "Very sure." replied Gramps. My father just nodded and came back with a carefully wrapped package. He handed it over to Gramps. "This is for you." said Gramps. He handed over the package to me. "It's the 49ers' sweater." said Gramps with a smile. "The one that belonged to Joe Perry?" I asked. My jaw dropped down in astonishment. "Yes. I think that you deserve it. You were very brave that day. If it wasn't for you who knows what would have happened. I want you to have it as a token of my appreciation." said Gramps with a smile. "Aren't you going to open it?" asked my Dad smiling. "Yes! Yes I am!" I replied. I gently pulled on the strings that held the parcel together. Opening the parcel I glanced at the sweater with reverence. It was an amazing gift. One I felt that I didn't deserve. I guess that's the reason why they say that only grandparents have the right to pamper their grandchildren. I made a vow to keep it extremely carefully. Picking the sweater up, I proudly paraded around the room so that everyone could see my new gift. It did not turn out to be such a bad vacation after all. In fact, my grandparents decided to stay on a little longer. They waited two whole months for Gramps' leg to heal. I was definitely happy about that development. Though my grandparent's vacation started out at a rather rocky start, the rest of the vacation went along smoothly. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did! I hope you enjoyed reading the story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I owe this website's existence to this laser skin tightening clinic for providing the funds to make it happen. Thank you so much! The next day was dull. We spent most our day indoors. Jenga was the game of the day and it was a lot of fun to play it with Gramps. Grandma made sure that we had the energy we needed. With her in the kitchen, nourishment in the form of food made it's way into our stomachs. "I was wondering…." I said trailing off as I watched Grandma bring out a set of hot chocolate cookies. Gramps erupted in laughter. His chuckles could be heard bouncing off the walls of the house. He laughed so much that everyone came running to see what happened. Wiping tears from his eyes, my grandfather repeated what I had asked him. I couldn't understand what he found so funny. It was innocent question after all. Mom and Dad joined the laughter. "Thanks for the compliment!" said Grandma as she bent down to kiss me. I was baffled. What had I said that was so funny? It was only later that Gramps explained to me. Grandma was a strict dietitian. She kept track of everyone's diet. Everything changed when we kids were around. Otherwise poor Gramps was stuck eating salads and fruits! That didn't sound like fun at all! After putting away our Jenga, Gramps suggested going out for a stroll. My mom warned us to take umbrellas. Nodding my grandfather picked out his long stout umbrella from the night stand. I had my smaller one with me. It was given to me as a gift from my uncle. The roads were slushy from the rain. Catching hold of Gramps' hand, we strolled down the streets. My house was a long way off from the city. In fact it was close to a thick forested area. A road ran through the forest. It was one of those big highways. It connected the city with other cities. Gramps loved to take a path just off the highway. It wound it's way into the forest and was a very pleasant walk. Gramps loved the peace and quiet that engulfed him as he strolled along. This time however he had a talkative grandson at his side. Somehow I don't think he minded. I filled him on what I had learned about football and how my Dad allowed me to watch the football games with him. He gamely joined in on the conversation. I never knew that Gramps was such a big fan of football till that date. He even told me that he had a 49ers jersey. It had been given to him as a gift from his grandfather. The jersey belonged to the legendary Joe Perry. I was so excited when I heard it. I asked him whether he had brought it with him and he said yes. My Dad had told him that I had become a fan of the 49ers and he had decided to bring it along just to show it to me. I couldn't wait to get home. I wanted to see the sweater so badly! Imagine… The very same sweater that Joe Perry wore! Huge thanks to this HVAC Repair Concord NC for sponsoring our post today! The sky may have looked gloomy all day but I was excited. So excited that I could not sleep. I'm Matt by the way. I'm ten years old and I live with my parents in a really cozy house. I could hear the wind howling outside. The temperature had really dropped. My dad said that the weather forecast had predicted rain. I hoped that they were wrong. My grandparents were on their way. They were due to arrive the next morning. That was enough to get me excited. Better still… I did not have to share them with any of my cousins. They were going to be with me for two whole weeks. I couldn't wait. I really can't remember how I fell of to sleep. I can however tell you how I got up. Sunlight filtered in through my window and fell on my face. Blinking, I tried to recollect my thoughts. That's when the smell of freshly made pancakes tickled my nose. Grandma's special pancakes! That got me up and out of bed. Without even bothering to run a comb through my hair, I bounded down the stairs and flung myself into my grandmother's waiting arms. I heard a chuckle behind me. "Don't I get a hug?" asked a familiar voice. I wasted no time in throwing my arms round my grandfather's neck. He was sitting in the easy chair and that placed him at the perfect height for my assualt. "I missed you!" said Grandma. She walked over and ruffled my hair. "I missed you too!" I replied. "Why don't you go and brush your teeth? We can have breakfast together then." said Gramps as he set me down on the floor. I really didn't want to leave them for even a minute but the pancakes looked delicious. I knew I wasn't going to get a bite unless I washed up. I dashed back upstairs and shouted a quick 'Good morning' to my parents as I bolted past them on the stairs. It wasn't long before I was seated at the table with a huge helping of pancakes on my platter. "Mother! He will fall sick that way!" said my mother as my grandmother drenched my pancakes in a generous helping of maple syrup. "You don't worry about that. It's a grandmother's privilege to spoil her grandchildren rotten!" said Grandma smiling. Who was I to complain. I gorged myself on the pancakes. Oh… My cousins were going to be so jealous when I told them! We loved our grandparents and the only thing we ever fought about was for their time. My Mom didn't say anything after that. I saw my Dad nudging her and telling her to let it be. Dad turned around and winked at me. It was really cool. With breakfast done, I dragged Gramps upstairs. I wanted to show him my room. I had discovered a new passion. Football! It had all started after I watched a game in which the 49ers were playing in. My Dad was watching Television and I joined him. That's when the fascination started. After that day I never let my Dad rest. Poor guy! Every holiday was spent teaching me football. I think that he kind of enjoys it!

Watch Bill O'Reilly Fail A Basic Statistics Class Whilst Discussing Weed Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 10:46 AM The Dutch have lower levels of access to, and use of, cannabis among teens compared to Americans — and it's not because they're winning some insane War on Mind Alteration. It's because Bill O'Reilly doesn't live there and bum everyone out. Below, O'Reilly dismisses the Dutch's lower cannabis use rates by acting like he doesn't understand how statistics work, then passing that idiocy onto his lovely viewers. From Sociological Images via Boing Boing: "Gretchen Carlson mentions that 40 percent of Americans in the U.S. report having ingested marijuana, compared to 22 percent of the Dutch. O'Reilly responds with shocking statistical illiteracy (or a willingness to assume the illiteracy of his viewers). Confusing percentages with whole numbers, he says: "The way they do the statistics in the Netherlands is different, plus its a much smaller country, it's a much smaller base to do the stats on.""

Wisdom of Life.: Are you a gentleman to ladies? I am glad my good friend, Fariza has finally found her ideal partner, a Caucasian and not a Malaysian. She had married once, many lovers and all are local males. Not one could really make her happy in love. Until she brought up her courage to fall in love with a foreigner who is of different culture and faith. I agreed with Fariza, most of our men here are not true gentlemen. In the first place, we are not as romantic as what we claimed. Perhaps romantic to us might be just the few moment on bed and after that, we lost the loving care and attention towards our ladies in attendance. Can't blame our women, they are afraid to fall in love with the courting men, who are inconsiderate! The other weaknesses i personally observed, most of us are arrogance with high ego, especially after falling in love with their ladies. We are selfish and ungenerous, especially on financial matters. Go to the restaurants and observe yourself. Over at the cashier counter, you would notice all bills are shared by their friends. The male has no courtesy to pay for the females, unless he has benefit over the companies. Sometimes even young lovers insist to share their expenses, for every single cent counts. We have not learned the pride to pay for another friend, more so for females. Thanks God! I never allow ladies to pay whenever they are with me. On tipping! We are really bad. We expect high and efficient services but we shy away on tipping. Not only are the men, the ladies are equally the same. I hope my little darling has learned to tip and appreciate those who rendered service to her. Unless we, the males are prepared to change our attitude and approach, we wound never be considered as true gentleman like this Caucasian. Most important, i hope...i had been a gentleman to you too when you were here last.

And so the circus moves on. I'm sitting in Pune right now but will leave here at 5pm local time for a flight to Delhi that will get me to my hotel just in time for last orders if I'm lucky. When I started this little series of posts from abroad, I mentioned how strange things were, how I'd have to adjust. That's still true, but India is huge and there are big differences between cities and states, never more true than in the case of Chennai and Pune. Chennai is a BIG place, it takes hours in a car to get from end to end, with frequent disruptions to traffic caused by toll roads and the placement of arbitrary barriers on a carriageway – how the locals don't smash into them more often than they do is a mystery. Pune by contrast is a BIG place, it takes hours in a car to get from end to end, with frequent disruptions to traffic caused by, erm, traffic. That's it, no tolls, no barriers just a swarm of cars, lorries tuktuks and bikes. Politics in Chennai and Tamil Nadu is a messy, corrupt affair, with a government that has just spent a huge sum of money celebrating the birthday of the ruling party head – who currently lives under house arrest for bribery. Politics in Pune and Maharashtra is a messy corrupt affair, with some ministers upstaging John Prescott by being completely illiterate and with all parties desperately trying to show how they emulate this man. Chhatrapati Shivaji – founder of the Maratha Empire. A bit like Prescott trying to identify with Henry V really. It's in the layout of the city and the incredible warmth of its people that Pune stands out. The roads are wide and are being constantly expanded, new bridges and infrastructure across the river, a bustling military presence. – The Bombay Sappers being just one of the units stationed here, a total of five military units surrounding the city, including the air force base. The streets are mostly clean and I've seen sweepers and cleaners every day on my journey to work and although there is poverty, the shanty towns are smaller and there's less of them. Even so, seeing THIS from the back of a car isn't easy. The little girl isn't begging, there's a standpipe across six lanes of road from the huts. And then she has to walk back with a full bucket. I doubt she's wondering when her first iPhone will turn up. The city is definitely better off than Chennai though, there is heavy industry including massive car plants for Volkswagen and Mahindra across the river from the office here, oil processing and miltary support factories. IT is also a growing business, Fujitsu have a building a few hundred metres away. It's relatively cheap here compared to Bangalore or Chennai and the standard of life is definitely better for most people, even if those flats in the picture look a little grim by our standards. The landscape is fairly green at the moment, it'll get less so until July or so when the monsoon rains kick in and repopulate the rivers and lakes. I mentioned in an earlier post that I could see huge birds of prey over the city, here they are, the Indian Spotted Eagle. Imagine that, eagles in their dozens over a city centre. I'll be leaving the office soon to go to the airport and play the silly security dance again and I'll be genuinely sorry to leave. In all likelihood I'll be back soon and for the first time on this trip I'm actually looking forward to a repeat visit. the next pictures are of the office gardens… Think on THAT from your current view.

Good Movements Follow Great Stories Leadership and Advisers Nation Inside Coastal Youth Media Free Movement Conference Black Man, Running "Storytelling and Social Change" guide Prison Poetry Workshop Home › Blog › Interview with Marshall Ganz on "Public Narrative" November 26, 2014 | Category: Blog | Author: Paul VanDeCarr Interview with Marshall Ganz on "Public Narrative" Above is video of Marshall Ganz speaking on "values vs. strategy" in community organizing, at the Harvard Kennedy School. Following is an excerpt from the first edition of our guide on "Storytelling and Social Change." A new and improved second edition — this time for nonprofits, social entrepreneurs and activists — is now in the works! "I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story." That's Barack Obama in his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech. No wonder that the speaker of these words, and the author of a thoughtful memoir, would have storytelling be a central part of his presidential campaign four years later. A template used for training of volunteer leadership teams in his 2008 campaign was devised by organizer and Harvard professor Marshall Ganz and was based on teams sharing the "story of self, the story of us, and the story of now." Ganz now teaches the practice—which he calls Public Narrative—to civic associations, community organizations, and advocacy groups worldwide. Marhsall Ganz is a senior lecturer in public policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He volunteered as a civil rights organizer in Mississippi, then in 1965 began a long tenure with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers, where he became Director of Organizing. He completed his Ph.D. in sociology in 2000. Following is an interview with Ganz conducted by Paul VanDeCarr, managing director of Working Narratives, in 2012. Your interest in storytelling goes way back. I grew up in California. My father was a rabbi, my mother was a teacher, and so I grew up in a world of story. Being raised in the Jewish tradition introduces you to story from when you are very young. The Haggadah at the Passover seder is called "the story," and the story is told as a response to four questions posed by the youngest person there. The whole deal is about telling the story so the next generation can learn it and interpret their own times in light of it. How did this translate into your later work as an organizer? When I got involved in organizing and the Civil Rights Movement and the United Farm Workers, again I found myself in the world of narrative in action. It became clear to me that there was this question of motivation that went along with the questions of strategy. Motivation—the sources of courage and solidarity and hope— was just as important as coming up with the right boycott target, because you couldn't do one without the other. So I began to see that there was head-work and heart-work that were required for the hand-work to be done—the actual organizing. And it was also clear to me that a piece of that heart-work was done in the form of narrative interpretation of what we were doing, of who we were, of who other people were, and where we were going. You taught a class on "Organizing" at the Kennedy School of Government. From that you developed a course on "Public Narrative," which you began teaching in 2005. What were the underpinnings for it? The course had these three components which for me went back to the questions of Rabbi Hillel, the first-century sage, which I'd learned about as a child: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am for myself alone, what am I? If not now, when?" That was the underlying framework to the story of self, the story of us, and the story of now. If you go back and read the account in Exodus about Moses and the burning bush, you will find the same three questions right there. And in Obama's 2004 Democratic National Convention speech, sure enough, there they were in the first seven minutes. What I've backed into here is a deep structure of how storytelling works in a leadership setting. What was the role of Public Narrative in the 2008 Obama campaign? Public Narrative was used in campaign training camps, called "Camp Obamas," and through that it became the basic template that the campaign used as a whole. Out of these two-day workshops would come leadership teams equipped to tell their stories, engage others, strategize, and all the rest of it. People would come to Camp Obama thinking that they were going to learn how to tell Barack's story or how to become policy experts. And the first thing was to learn to tell your own story about why you are here, and you will then be able to engage others and their stories, and out of that will come the "story of us," and out of that will come the motivation to deal with the challenge that we face now. People come thinking that they have a deficit and they are coming to a training to acquire assets they don't have; they leave realizing they have within their life experience what they need to be able to make an impact in the world. It's a very different kind of experience, and I think that's why it was so energizing. You've said there's a difference between a community-organizing model and a nonprofit-service model. Is there a role for philanthropy in supporting Public Narrative? One of the concerns I have is people using Public Narrative as a marketing device, because for me marketing is the opposite of movement building. Marketing is all about getting somebody to buy your thing, whatever it is. And movement building is all about enabling people to act on their thing and discern what their thing is by engaging with others. One of the unintended consequences of a lot of well-intentioned foundation support has been to sustain groups that wouldn't exist without the foundation. The real challenge of community organizing is that the community sustain it. How do you invest in developing leadership but not in creating dependency of that leadership upon you?

ipsos2 CIPR view on 'Trust' report; PR professionals can build trust in technology The ethics of technology are a genuine public concern, according to a report by Ipsos MORI - 'Trust TheTruth'. The research, which reveals the public's view on technology and automation, shows scientists are the most trusted professionals in the world (60% trustworthiness) followed by doctors (56%) and teachers (52%). Whilst the public are generally positive about the prospect of technology and automation improving lives (76%), there is concern that technological progress is "destroying lives" (50%). The report recommends considering "the ethics of using these technologies". The report concludes that "trust does not appear to be in terminal decline but is often lower than half a century ago". This is particularly true of business, with trust more stable over the last 20 years and not "in constant freefall around the world as some people may assume". Politicians are globally considered the most untrustworthy professionals. Two-thirds of the public consider politicians to be untrustworthy (67%) and more than half say the same about Government Ministers (57%). This report should act as a call to action for the public relations profession. The public are anxious about the profound changes that will be driven by automation and AI. As this increases, there will be a public demand for human expertise to have a role in protecting the consumer. Trust and reputation are fragile. Encouragingly, and contrary to popular narrative, the conclusion in this report is that we are not experiencing a crisis of trust - rather, trends show trustworthiness in professions and institutions evolves. Public relations professionals, as strategic experts with a moral compass, have a greater role to play at this time of increased scrutiny to strengthen, build and rebuild trust. CIPR President, Emma Leech Found.Chart.PR FCIPR About the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Founded in 1948, the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) is the Royal Chartered professional body for public relations practitioners in the UK and overseas.

Citation: Recsetar, M., Brown, T.W. 2016. Catfish production using intensive aeration. The Catfish Journal. 30(1):15. Interpretive Summary: Catfish farmers in Arkansas and Mississippi have been able to produce much higher yields by increasing the aeration rates in their ponds. As of 2010, the average aeration rate within the industry was about 2.5 hp/acre. This roughly equates to a farmer having either 2 or 3 10-hp paddlewheel aerators in a 10 acre pond. By adding additional paddlewheel aerators to a pond, a farmer is able to provide adequate dissolved oxygen to the entire pond thus relieving the stress of low oxygen on the fish. When dissolved oxygen is not the limiting factor as it has been in the past, yields are free to increase dramatically. Utilizing intensive aeration in smaller ponds also allows for a farmer to have a more manageable standing crop at the end of the season and help mitigate some of the risk. Although it is recommended that intensively aerated ponds be stocked with hybrid catfish, there has been success with channels and yields have been shown to increase as aeration increases even before a pond gets to what we would consider intensive aeration levels (6 hp/acre). Intensive aeration of catfish ponds may be an economically feasible solution (although thorough economic analysis is needed) and a potentially good option for farms looking to increase production without needing additional land.

But having a risk factor, or even several, does not mean that you will get the disease. Many people with one or more risk factors never get cancer, while others who get cancer may have had few or no known risk factors. Researchers have found several factors that might affect a man's risk of getting prostate cancer. Prostate cancer occurs more often in African-American men and Caribbean men of African ancestry than in men of other races. African-American men are also more than twice as likely to die of prostate cancer than white men. Prostate cancer occurs less often in Asian-American and Hispanic/Latino men than in non-Hispanic whites. The reasons for these racial and ethnic differences are not clear. Prostate cancer is most common in North America, northwestern Europe, Australia, and on Caribbean islands. It is less common in Asia, Africa, Central America, and South America. The reasons for this are not clear. More intensive screening in some developed countries probably accounts for at least part of this difference, but other factors such as lifestyle differences (diet, etc.) are likely to be important as well. For example, Asian Americans have a lower risk of prostate cancer than white Americans, but their risk is higher than that of men of similar backgrounds living in Asia. Having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles a man's risk of developing this disease. (The risk is higher for men who have a brother with the disease than for those who have a father with it.) The risk is much higher for men with several affected relatives, particularly if their relatives were young when the cancer was found. Men with Lynch syndrome (also known as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, or HNPCC), a condition caused by inherited gene changes, have an increased risk for a number of cancers, including prostate cancer. Other inherited gene changes can also raise a man's risk of prostate cancer. Men who eat a lot of red meat or high-fat dairy products appear to have a slightly higher chance of getting prostate cancer. These men also tend to eat fewer fruits and vegetables. Doctors aren't sure which of these factors is responsible for raising the risk. Some studies have suggested that men who consume a lot of calcium (through food or supplements) may have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer. Dairy foods (which are often high in calcium) might also increase risk. But most studies have not found such a link with the levels of calcium found in the average diet, and it's important to note that calcium has other important health benefits. Being obese (very overweight) does not seem to increase the overall risk of getting prostate cancer. Some studies have found that obese men have a lower risk of getting a low-grade (less dangerous) form of the disease, but a higher risk of getting more aggressive prostate cancer. The reasons for this are not clear. Some studies have also found that obese men may be at greater risk for having more advanced prostate cancer and of dying from prostate cancer, but not all studies have found this. Most studies have not found a link between smoking and getting prostate cancer. Some research has linked smoking to a possible small increased risk of dying from prostate cancer, but this finding needs to be confirmed by other studies. There is some evidence that firefighters can be exposed to chemicals that may increase their risk of prostate cancer. A few studies have suggested a possible link between exposure to Agent Orange, a chemical used widely during the Vietnam War, and prostate cancer, although not all studies have found such a link. The Institute of Medicine considers there to be "limited/suggestive evidence" of a link between Agent Orange exposure and prostate cancer. To learn more, see Agent Orange and Cancer. Some studies have suggested that prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland) may be linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer, but other studies have not found such a link. Inflammation is often seen in samples of prostate tissue that also contain cancer. The link between the two is not yet clear, and is an active area of research. Researchers have looked to see if sexually transmitted infections (like gonorrhea or chlamydia) might increase the risk of prostate cancer, because they can lead to inflammation of the prostate. So far, studies have not agreed, and no firm conclusions have been reached. Some studies have suggested that men who have a vasectomy (minor surgery to make men infertile) have a slightly increased risk for prostate cancer, but other studies have not found this. Research on this possible link is still being done.

Nice essay in yesterday's NY Times from former Daily Show executive producer Ben Karlin. It's about his struggles to come to terms with the realization that his then-girlfriend Paolo–"a devastatingly cute waitress" from his favorite local Brooklyn Italian joint–was indeed The One. …not only did I intend to learn all the nuances of backcountry camping, but also a variety of kayaking moves, culminating in the famed "Eskimo roll," a rescue maneuver wherein a capsized kayaker staves off drowning by flipping upright while staying fixed snugly in the hull of his boat. Also, I wanted to solve all my problems involving emotional intimacy. In short, Karlin gets his sign from above in the wee hours of his "solo" day in Mexico, and ends up proposing to Paola. We profiled Karlin a few years ago, and if memory serves, there was an issue with what to put in the biographical data box that appears at the end of each "Fifth Estater" profile. Ben didn't want to mention his recent engagement in print, as it was so recent that not all family members had been informed (Presumably there was concern that these family members might find out about it in B&C, which seems a bit odd). At the same time, Ben didn't want to be listed as single, either. It's nice to see there's no longer any ambiguity about Ben Karlin's relationship status.

From startup to superpower. That might be the best description for the Alabama softball program, which is celebrating its 20th season in existence. The program welcomed many former players and team members back to Tuscaloosa over the weekend to watch the series win over Kentucky. More than 10,000 fans made it out to Rhoads Stadium for the three-game series, where they showed a 20th anniversary video that traces the team's growth and massive success over two decades. With a 41-9 record and a top-10 ranking this year, Alabama softball hopes to add to that tradition of excellence. If you haven't seen the video, here it is. This will give you a great idea of how fast the program has grown.

Unclogging a bathtub drain is an unfortunate and inconvenient fact of life. Most clogs occur as a result of a build-up of hair, grease and other organic matter on the interior walls of the plumbing pipes. This accumulation can, over time, become impassable and sticky and eventually, a wad of hair or clump of soap can become lodged and will hinder the flow until water begins to back up in the pipes. Unclogging a bathtub drain should be done as soon as you notice that there is a blockage. Often, homeowners will continue to use the tub and put up with its slow emptying, but this is a problem that won't go away on its own. Time to roll up your sleeves and fix it properly. If the water backs up rapidly whenever you use the drain, it means the blockage is most likely close to the tub's drain opening. You'll often find that hair clogs will form around the stopper mechanism. Preventing this is easy. Use a stainless steel strainer over the drain when you empty the tub. They only cost a dollar or so but they keep hair from going where it shouldn't. Unclogging a bathtub drain is required far less frequently if you can avoid allowing hair to become a nuisance. Sometimes you can actually grab hold of a few strands of hair in the drain and pull them, and you'll find that a large clump will follow. Try using a wire coat hanger, bent to suit the purpose, or a pair of tweezers to grab the hairs. Failing the above possibility, you can use a plumber's "snake" tool to poke down into the drain and clear the blockage. Either you will dislodge it by pushing it with the snake allowing it to flow further down and out, or you might be able to hook it and pull it out. Unclogging a bathroom drain can also call for the use of a rubber plunger. Remove the drain strainer and position the plunger over the mouth of the drain. Using a pumping action, the suction should help to dislodge the blockage. You'll need to run the water to flush the debris out of the system. When unclogging a bathtub drain, try taking off the overflow assembly plate and then remove the trip which works as a plunger and whose purpose is to trap hair. Unscrew the screws that hold the assembly plate on, take it off and you can remove the hair from the trip. In some cases, it can be helpful unclogging a bathtub drain with chemical products. Sometimes what is needed is to dissolve and break down the greasy substances that collect on the pipes. Preferably, you will exhaust the other options mentioned above, since pouring chemicals down the drain is not particularly friendly to the environment. Some unclogging products are made without harsh chemicals and they rely on natural acids to do the job. If all your attempts at unclogging the bathtub drain have been unsuccessful, you might have to call a plumber to clear the blockage for you. He may remove the trap under the tub or may need to access the pipes via the basement so watch what he does in case the clogging happens again and you may be able to do it yourself the next time. Still, preventing the blockage from happening in the first place will save a lot of hassle and inconvenience. Be aware of what you allow to flow down the drain, remove hair regularly and throw soap bits away before they have a chance to wash away through the plumbing.

John's Horror Corner MFF Data John's Horror Corner: Silent Night, Deadly Night part 2 (1987), a Christmas horror sequel that is both lazy and clever. tags: 80s slasher, Christmas horror, Deadly Night, elizabeth kaitan, Linnea Quigley, part 2, scream queen, sequel, Silent Night, Silent Night Deadly Night, slasher movie by John Leavengood MY CALL: The sequel of the "then controversial" cult classic, this story continues and replays the highlights of its predecessor to form the death scene meat and potatoes of the movie. MOVIES LIKE Silent Night, Deadly Night part 2: Normally I'd direct folks to the original: Silent Night Deadly Night (1984). But since all the kills and their build-up from the original are literally shown again in this, there's little point. The follow-up to a bonkers 80s B-movie cult classic, this sequel opens with strong scoring and a tense introduction to Ricky (Eric Freeman) in a psychiatric hospital on Christmas Eve. Now grown up after living through his older brother's killing spree (i.e., Billy from part 1), Ricky has become a killer just like Billy. As the narrator to our story, Ricky recounts his brother's vile deeds to his psychiatrist. As if justifying his murderous destiny, Ricky recalls the murder and sexual assault of his parents by a man in a Santa suit; their troubled upbringing in an orphanage run by Mother Superior (Lilyan Chauvin; Predator 2, Pumpkinhead 2, Silent Night Deadly Night); Billy's departure from the nunnery and job at the toy store when he turned eighteen; and absolutely everyone Billy killed in 1984. Entire scenes of footage are generously borrowed from part 1. As a result, all the kills from the first half of this movie are from this stock footage. Like really, every kill from Silent Night Deadly Night (1984); about half of this sequel is in fact the more exciting half of part 1. So really, this sequel doesn't even begin to hold its own until about minute 40. But fret not, because at least one "new" kill (the umbrella death scene) is rather spectacular for a lower budget kill. And while I enjoyed the jumper cable death as well, the better deaths in this movie were from the previous film. It makes it hard to judge this movie on its own unless it was viewed in lieu of its predecessor. I guess we do still get Ricky killing some folks in a Santa suit (for some of new death scenes). But it's just not enough for me care… even a little. The Santa suit shenanigans feel phoned-in and short-lived. But let's give director Lee Harry (Street Soldiers) and his cast a little credit. Ricky's storytelling scenes were well-acted and aptly written. In fact, the acting in this felt rather superior to anything from part 1 (except of course, for the most talented scream queen Linnea Quigley; The Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Demons, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Creepozoids). It seems that someone had a great script idea, but so little money to fund the film that utilizing the previous was the only way to make it work. So as lazy as the scene-stealing tactic initially feels, maybe this was their clever way of making it happen. At least they managed to cast the lovely Elizabeth Kaitan (Friday the 13th part VII, Nightwish, Necromancer), who is something of a bad movie starlet. Despite a couple entertaining kills, this movie is basically a cheap cash-grab throwaway riding the coattails of the best parts of its maker. This would best be viewed by horror fans who actually missed the original. For that demographic, this would probably be quite satisfying. from → John Leavengood, John's Horror Corner, Movies ← Freaky: An Inspired Horror Film Featuring Fun Performances From Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton The MFF Podcast #333: Stargate, Alien Technology, and Sand → Connect with MFF Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and get movie reviews delivered to your inbox Recent Awesomeness John's Horror Corner: The Beach House (2019), a taste of cosmic horror and oceanside wildlife.

Bachelor v. State, 5 Div. 976 Writing for the Court BROWN, J. BROWN, J. Citation 216 Ala. 356,113 So. 67 Parties BACHELOR v. STATE. 113 So. 67 Rehearing Denied June 4, 1927 Further Rehearing Denied June 11, 1927 Appeal from Circuit Court, Elmore County; George F. Smoot, Judge. Clyde Reese Bachelor was convicted of murder in the first degree, and he appeals. Judgment affirmed; remanded for sentence. Anderson, C.J., and Gardner, J., dissenting in part. Criminal is charged with notice of law relative to sentence. [113 So. 69] Defendant was charged with the killing of Lamar C. Smith, his father-in-law. The tendency of the state's evidence is that defendant procured Hayes Leonard, a negro tenant farmer, to kill the deceased, the motive being that upon the death of deceased his daughter, defendant's wife, would inherit a portion of deceased's estate, and thus would defendant profit financially; that Leonard fired the fatal shot with a shotgun through a side window of deceased's residence, while deceased lay upon his bed reading; that defendant stood about 30 yards from Leonard when the shot was fired; that immediately afterwards defendant and Leonard escaped in defendant's automobile, going to defendant's plantation. The defendant's evidence was to the effect that defendant was of unsound mind at the time of the homicide. Hasty Golden, a witness for the state, testified that he was sheriff of Elmore county and had, the day after the shooting, arrested defendant, Bachelor, and Hayes Leonard in connection with the shooting of deceased, and the two were carried to the Montgomery county jail. The witness was asked if Leonard had made any statement there, in the presence of the defendant, with reference to the shooting. Over defendant's objection, the witness replied in the affirmative, and further testified that there were 6 or 8 men present; that witness knew them all, but could not say whether he could call them all by name; that he knew that neither he nor any one in his presence offered any inducement to or made any threats against Leonard to make a statement; that some one of those present brought Bachelor down there to hear the negro make the statement. The witness further testified that Leonard stated that he shot deceased, and, being asked why, stated that he had done what the defendant told him to do, and that defendant was to pay him for doing it; that he (Leonard) and defendant had been to the house of deceased two or three times before; and that defendant was with him at the time of the shooting, "squatting down by the little peach tree." The witness further testified that Leonard demonstrated with a broom how the shooting had been done, "how he (Leonard) had walked along with the gun until he got on the porch, and how he raised the gun to shoot and his heart failed him; and he said he crawled back and told him (defendant) that there was not but one in the room, and defendant raised up and looked in the window and told him that both of them (deceased and his wife) were in there and when he did he went back and shot." The witness further testified that defendant left the room during the confession, but that he was present when the foregoing part of Leonard's confession was made; that defendant was asked if he wanted to hear what the negro had to say, and defendant said he did not care to argue with the negro. Defendant's father testified that, in witness' opinion, defendant was of unsound mind, was a weakling; that one of his weaknesses from the time he was a child was that he would break down and cry whenever he talked business with or sought financial aid from witness; that "he has been a cry baby all his life, even when he was a man. It is not a fact that he didn't cry except when he didn't get what he wanted; he always got what he asked for." In his closing argument to the jury, counsel for the state made, substantially, the following remarks to which the objections of defendant were sustained: [113 So. 70] "Two criminals in the city of Chicago caused the death of one Frank. "If the defendant was found not guilty by reason of insanity, he would be sent to the insane asylum and turned loose in two or three years." The following requested charges were refused to defendant: "D. If you are reasonably satisfied from all the evidence that at the time of the commission of the alleged crime the defendant was mentally unsound, you cannot find him guilty "A. I charge you, gentlemen of the jury, that, if you find the defendant responsible, and further find him guilty of murder in the first degree, it becomes your further duty to fix his punishment. Capital punishment is authorized, but it is not commanded or compelled, whatever may be the enormity of the crime. It is not an absolute unconditional but an alternative, punishment, and it is never imposed except at the discretion of the jury. "B. I charge you, gentlemen of the jury, that if you find the defendant legally responsible, and further find him guilty of murder in the first degree, it becomes your further duty, under the law, to fix his punishment. In fixing such punishment you may either fix it at imprisonment in the penitentiary for life or at death, in your discretion. Under the law of the state, capital punishment is never visited except by a jury on their own responsibility, controlled only by their own conscience, and it is not contemplated that the suggestions of their conscience shall be directed by the judge presiding or by any human power. "A-1. The court charges the jury that in the trial of a homicide case, where the plea of not guilty and a statutory plea pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity are both interposed, the burden of proof as to the first plea is upon the state to satisfy the jury beyond a reasonable doubt of the guilt of the defendant, but, as to the second plea, the burden of proof is on the defendant to establish the plea of not guilty by reasonable of insanity to the reasonable satisfaction of the jury by a preponderance of the evidence, and a reasonable doubt is not sufficient to acquit the defendant under this plea. The weight and sufficiency of the evidence as to the one plea is that the state must satisfy the jury beyond a reasonable doubt, whereas, as to the other plea, the defendant must reasonably satisfy the jury by a preponderance of the evidence." Rushton, Crenshaw & Rushton, of Montgomery, and Oakley W. Melton, of Wetumpka, for appellant. Charlie C. McCall, Atty. Gen., and Thos. E. Knight, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., and Holley & Milner, Tate & Renau and Huddleston & Glover, all of Wetumpka, for the State. BROWN, J. To render the confession of Hayes Leonard, made to the witness Golden and others in the Montgomery county jail, admissible against the defendant, it was necessary for the state to show that it was made in the presence of the defendant, and that he remained silent or that he affirmed the truth of the statement, and that such affirmation was voluntarily made. Delaney v. State, 204 Ala. 685, 87 So. 183; Rowlan v. State, 14 Ala.App. 17, 70 So. 953; Everage v. State, 113 Ala. 102, 21 So. 404; Blair v. State, 211 Ala. 53, 99 So. 314; McGehee v. State, 171 Ala. 19, 55 So. 159; Whitehead v. State, 16 Ala.App. 427, 78 So. 467. However, it was not necessary that it be shown that such affirmation of the truth of the confession was made at the same time and place, but if it was subsequently made and shown to be voluntary--that is, made when the mind of the accused was free from the influence of hope or fear excited by menace or encouragement that he would be more favorably dealt with if he confessed--this is all sufficient to authorize its admission in evidence. Banks v. State, 84 Ala. 431, 4 So. 382. The court, sitting in banc, after careful consideration of the record is of the opinion that it clearly appears that so much of the alleged confession of Hayes Leonard as was given in evidence through the testimony of witness Hasty Golden was made in the presence of the defendant, and the defendant in a subsequent confession to the witness Sellers, shown to be voluntary, affirmed the truth of Leonard's confession in every material respect by stating: "That everything this old darkie has said is true, with the exception of one thing, and that was this--when he went up on the porch to fire the fatal shot I was not standing right behind him with a pistol--that part is not true. I was there; I planned everything; I was 20 or 30 steps away when he fired the shot." Under the rule heretofore stated, this evidence was properly admitted and the rulings of the court in this respect were free from error. The state's objection to the question to the witness Bill Macon, "Was she crazy before she committed suicide?" referring to defendant's great-grandmother, was properly sustained. The witness had testified that he did not know the name of defendant's great-grandmother, that she died of suicide in about the year 1871. This, under the authorities, was not sufficient to qualify a non-expert witness to give his opinion that the person inquired about was "crazy." Parrish v. State, 139 Ala. 16, 36 So. 1012; Braham v. State, 143 Ala. 28, 38 So. 919; People v. Harris, 169 Cal. 53, 145 P. 520; 16 C.J. 752. The same observation is true as to the questions to this witness in reference to the insanity of Roxie Williams, Mat Williams, and Reuben Smith. As to his acquaintance with Roxie Williams, the witness testified: "I knew her mother, Roxie Williams, Roxie Williams is his great-great-great-grandmother." As to Mat Williams: "I knew this boy's great-aunt, the sister of his great-grandmother; she was called Aunt Mat Williams. I don't know how long she [113 So. 71] has been dead. I knew her in her lifetime, but don't know how old she was when I knew her." Allen v. State, CR-92-1463 ...instructions to the jury or both. Allred v. State, supra; Dunn v.

The NSW Government is proposing language legislation for the protection of Aboriginal Languages in NSW. Un-doubtedly the intentions are positive, but there are a number of assumptions in this proposal that need to be thought about carefully. I remember the weight of the word "protection". It has a long painful history in NSW. I remember the 1950s and 1960s and a number of occasions when I felt humiliated because of the NSW laws that were passed to "protect" Aborigines. There was The Aborigines Protection Act of 1909 , the imposition of it through the Aborigines Protection Board (later the NSW Aborigines Welfare Board) and the extreme conditions associated with the Certificates of Exemption, which were known to us as "dog tags". Some people may say that the past didn't happen, it wasn't so bad, but I am telling you, it was bad. Aboriginal people normally don't go around with a long face about it. If it is painful we are more likely to make a joke, laugh through the pain, but I am telling you that this history is still very painful. It is important to have an understanding of this history of Government intervention in order not to repeat it. For 30 years, at the request of the Wiradjuri Council of Elders, I have worked to bring back my language, Wiradjuri. I have taught everyone who wants to learn, Wiradjuri and non-Wiradjuri, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, because Wiradjuri is the language of my Country, and because this lang-uage tells us who we are. give me self-respect and identity. I travelled about all over Wiradjuri Country for years, running many workshops, teaching many hundreds of people, often for petrol money. With Dr John Rudder, we put together the Wiradjuri Dictionary and many other language resources. This grass roots spreading of Wiradjuri language is now strong. It is not academic linguist driven, it is not driven by large organisations, Government Departments or Universities. That side can come later, emerging from the communities. It is driven by the thirst from the people for the return of their language. I am concerned that the proposed legislation won't nourish these essential roots in the community and instead will be another taking away of what is precious to us. This grass roots movement does need financial support, but not external regulation. There are community language teachers who are completely dedicated to sharing their language with their communities, working with next to nothing. They may or may not be connected with the NSW Education system, but they are connected to their people. Unless language lives in its community in a dynamic and real way, it is not alive. This is the priority. Language is revitalised when it is spoken and taught by its community and by creating and sharing language learning resources to support this. Whose responsibility is language? Wiradjuri language is a Wiradjuri responsibility, other languages are the responsibility of their peoples. Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal can work together, but there is a way to do it and a way not to do it. We need time and space to succeed according to our way of doing things. In my experience, Government intervention sometimes causes more problems than it solves, on occasion giving power and resources to organisations and individuals that may be effective at speaking the language of Government, but who have limited cultural connection to the language of the communities concerned. The Aboriginal Peoples in NSW, and there are a number of us, not one, each with our own language, need to determine and manage our own futures. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples expresses this very well: Indigenous peoples have the fight to revitalise, use, develop and transmit to future generations their histories, languages, oral traditions, philosophies, writing systems and literatures and to designate and retain their own names for communities, places and persons. This right isn't just to have access to our own languages and cultures, but for Indigenous Peoples to control the process of how language is revitalised, used, developed and transmitted. It would be a misreading of the Declaration to take it mean that the State may override these rights in order to protect our languages. When we have control it is our right to choose who teaches it and who has access to it. We do not need legislation, no matter how well meaning, that manages and regulates, and diminishes our ability to take on this responsibility for ourselves. Languages need to be managed by us and taught our people's way, centred on our culture and priorities. For my people, the Wiradjuri, this is centred on a Wiradjuri way of doing things that is inseparable from the language itself. Language is much more than a linguistic exercise, it is the key to us understanding our Wiradjuri past, present and future, and maintaining our wellbeing and identity. 1 Comment on "Wiradjuri expert speaks out on legislation" What a brilliant letter, written by a brilliant man !

Looking for a fun polymer clay project? I call these my reminder necklaces, because on the back I place a short message to remind me of something I am trying to accomplish or what I am currently doing in my life. I have made and sold a lot of these necklaces, and actually only have a few left, the one above is an example. These sell quite well at shows, because they can be sold inexpensively, giving the customer a handcrafted piece with a statement that speaks directly to them. Select a color of polymer clay you want to make your necklace out of, my color palette is earthy, so I always choose something in that range. The example above was a deep brown. Condition your clay as you normally do. I use a pasta machine, followed by conditioning by hand. Lay your clay flat, building it up to about 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut it into the shape you want- rectangular, square, oval. Create your design-some ways to do this : it can be carved, stamped or built up from other pieces of clay. The example above is built up with some carving. Using a small pick of some sort, make a hole where you will string your cording through. Be sure to poke through from the front and back, making a good clean hole. I use small wooden pick up sticks or knitting needles. If you are going to make an accent bead from polymer clay to place above the tile, this is the time to do it. I had a small round polymer clay bead I had made at an earlier time that I used. You can also use premade items such as a wooden bead, metal bead, or a metal washer as an accent. Just an aside- some days I just feel like playing with polymer clay to make different kinds of beads but not for any particular design I am working on. I have built up a stash by doing this that I can go to at a later time. Since I work in the same general color palette, I often find a bead that works. I painted my piece before I cured it. This piece was first given a layer of black metallic paint, that was brushed on, paying particular attention to getting the paint into the grooved areas, then quickly wiping it off, leaving an antiqued background. This was followed by highlighting the raised areas with copper Lumiere Metallic Paint. Then cured it following the manufacturer's instructions. Once the pendant was finished curing, it was lightly sanded, then another touch of copper Lumiere paint was added. I save all kinds of old books for use in my artwork. After measuring the pendant, I find a book and cut out a small piece of it to fit nicely on the back of the pendant. I try to find a page with the print size I want that isn't overwhelming. Also be aware of the wording that will be visible. One of the first times I used printed paper on canvas art, the painting and the readable words were a total mismatch and took away from the finished piece. Decide on a simple saying you would like to convey that will be placed on the back...this one says Artful Living, Some examples of other phases I have used are: Singing My Own Songs, Artist, Trust Your Heart, Dreamer...the list of possibilities is endless. Type up your list of phrases that becomes your go to sheet. I like to print it out on copper parchment paper. You now have the base layer of printed words from your book and your paper with the selected phrase. Distress your printed page first. I use Ranger Distress inks for this, selecting a color ink that compliments the color of the clay used. For the phrase paper, I tend to use a black distress ink. Adhere your printed paper to the back of the pendant, then glue the phrase on top. After drying, I seal the entire piece with a acrylic sealer. I like to use Polyacrylic by Minwax , satin finish, that I get at Home Depot for a few dollars. Here is my quick, easy method of sealing a piece. Pour a small amount of sealer into a plastic baggie. The baggie should be at least twice as long as the piece you are sealing, and only a 1/3 filled with sealer Emerge your pendant into the sealer, squish all around to cover it, then drag it to the top of the baggie, removing excess sealer as you are moving to the top of the bag. Grab it with a Christmas tree ornament hook, then hang to dry. Let it dry completely then recoat 2 more times. The final step is to put it back into the oven to cure for about 10 minutes, I usually do this at about 200 degrees. Take it out, buff it slightly. Measure a piece of cording to the desired length you want, string it through the hole, add your accent bead, tie a knot above the accent bead, then finish with a clasp or just a plain old knot, if it is large enough to fit over your head. Thank you for this great tutorial! It has given me so many ideas! Thanks for your feedback Cat, glad the tutorial has provided inspiration for you.

Pharmacy fellowship and pharmacy residency are the two primary means for pharmacists to obtain post-graduate training. Selecting a career path that is right for you can be challenging. This post is meant to assist in differentiating the options. With commencement season in full effect and the job market flush with newly minted PharmDs, many student pharmacists may be contemplating post-graduate training in either a residency or fellowship. Although the deadlines have already passed for this academic year, for those students in their 1st through 3rd years of pharmacy school who are watching their 4th year colleagues graduate, they may be starting to ponder their future career path after graduation. In general there are two main choices for post-graduate training: pharmacy residency or fellowship. Residencies are very structured 1 or 2 year learning experiences aimed at equipping trainees with the requisite skills of a clinical pharmacist. Those who complete 1 year of residency positions are typically ready for a general staff pharmacist position in either a hospital or community pharmacy setting. Conversely, those who complete a second year of training in a specialized area (e.g. solid organ transplantation) are prepared to function as a clinical pharmacy specialist. While this highly trained individual will likely spend the majority of his or her time focused on provision of direct patient care, they will also likely dedicate some effort (perhaps 10-20%) toward practice-based research projects and scholarly activity. Fellowships, on the other hand, are much less structured. Most are not accredited by a major pharmacy society (as most residencies are), and as such the fellowship director has significant latitude in designing a program specific to the current fellow. Some fellowships do include a component of patient care, however the majority are focused on developing expertise in research and scholarship. The goal of most fellowships is to produce a pharmacist-scientist who is capable of independently functioning as a successfully, extramurally funded researcher. Whereas most pharmacists who complete residency training pursue positions in hospitals or outpatient clinics, fellowship graduates more commonly seek employment in academia or industry. As you can see, these two pathways are quite different, and hence the decision of which to follow has to be predicated on where you see yourself practicing after graduation. If you love patient care and could not envision a job that doesn't allow you to interact with the public on a daily basis, then a research-heavy, fellowship-based training plan may not be best for you. On the contrary, if your dream is to be a faculty member at a college of pharmacy, particularly one where research and scholarship are expected, then a fellowship should be part of your post-graduate training. Personally, I think that the ideal pathway may be to complete both. A post-graduate year one (PGY1) residency provides a very fundamental skill set that I feel all pharmacists practicing in the 21st century require. The basics of patient care, drug information, health care administration, and independent clinical decision making are all instilled as part of a PGY1 training program. Completion of a pharmacy fellowship adds tremendously to a PGY1 foundation, and helps to grow and nurture creativity and independence. These skills will prove very useful even if you don't end up pursuing a research focused career. My former mentor completed a PGY1 residency training program followed by a 2 year Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy Fellowship. While he did spend some time in academia, he eventually transitioned over to hospital leadership, and he is presently the Director of Pharmacy for a large academic teaching center. It's easy for me to see how the abilities to set a vision and to foster innovation that he learned during fellowship translated very effectively in his new role as a hospital manager. As you can see, the decision of which post-graduate career path to follow is complex and multifaceted. I would encourage you that when facing this decision, a certain degree of introspection is mandatory. Take time during school to explore different extracurricular activates and be sure to explore a diverse set of Introductory and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Rotations (IPPEs and APPEs) in order to find your true passion. Seeking out the advice of a trusted mentor is also essential. In the end, only you can decide what type of post-graduate training is best for you.

Воскресенское — бывшее село, ставшее частью Москвы в XVIII столетии. Располагалось на территории современного района Пресненского района. Село Воскресенское находилось близ села Кудрино у реки Пресни. Его возникновение датируется последней четвертью XVII века. В 1681 году царь Федор Алексеевич выбрал эту местность для строительства нового загородного дворца с домовой каменной Воскресенской церковью. Вскоре поблизости возникло поселение, где жила дворцовая прислуга. В документах 1680-х годов поселение именуется «государевым новым сельцом Воскресенским». Речка Пресня была перегорожена несколькими плотинами, около возникших прудов был разбит обширный сад общей площадью 63 гектара. Согласно описанию современников: «а в том саду садового строения 2400 яблонь по местам на грядах, 560 прививов, 34 гряды почек, 250 кустов вишнягу, 112 гряд смородины красной. У того саду садовников 13 человек». В Воскресенском также находился Потешный двор, в котором содержались различные звери. Например, в 1685 году там был белый медведь. Из-за смерти царя Федора Воскресенское не стало популярной резиденцией и вскоре проиграло в конкуренции с Коломенским и Измайловым. Примечания Литература Исторические местности и районы Москвы

While the holiday season is one of the most wonderful times of the year, our society has ruined it with the over-glorified tradition of gingerbread. Gingerbread is a tradition during the holidays, not because it tastes good or looks amazing, but only because we have been engaging in the custom year after year and nobody has questioned the true value of it. It is so tasteless and childish that it does not deserve to be called a holiday staple. Gingerbread does not taste remotely of ginger; in fact, it doesn't taste like anything at all—with the exception of cardboard. No matter how freshly-baked your loaf is, the flavor is still as if it were left on the counter for over a year or as if it never entered an oven in the rest place. Some people attempt to compensate for this dry tastelessness by adding far too much ginger and other spices. is creates an overly potent and tongue-coating assault that no one deserves to experience. While gingerbread is incredibly bland on its own, the addition of a random melange of spices only makes it a thousand times worse. As an elementary school activity, making gingerbread men and houses was admittedly fun. But older individuals still seem to insist on partaking in these child- hood activities even though the fun has worn off. What's the point of spending time decorating some cold, hard slabs of gingerbread with globs of sticky frosting and squished gumdrops when there are much better things to do that won't bore you to near-death? For example, you could adorn some tree ornaments for a classier outlet of creativity, cozy up by a nice fire or do literally anything else. The worth of gingerbread has been over-exaggerated by enthusiastic individuals who have yet to see that the baked good lacks flavor, appeal to interest, and overall value. Students are in school from August to December sitting in hard wooden desks, so why punish themselves with cookies made of the same material? There are so many other recipes, flavors and tastes out there that would do a wonderful job replacing gingerbread as the classic holiday cookie. The unruly reign of gingerbread must end. In no way should such a pathetic excuse for food be part of such a wonderful time as the holiday season.

Three-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, New York Times best-selling poet, and critically acclaimed actor are only a few titles held by Jill Scott. Before having the #1 album in the country with "The Light of The Sun", performing at The White House, being named People Magazine's Top TV Breakout Star of 2010 and appearing on VH1 Divas alongside Aretha Franklin, the triple threat began her career collaborating with musical icons, The Roots, Will Smith, and Common in the late 90s.

August 15, 2017 by Clay Song of the Day #3,329: 'Girl (Live)' – Elvis Costello vs. The Beatles Our second Final Four matchup is a battle of London lads: Elvis Costello vs. The Beatles. A nice connection here, as Costello has been a die-hard Beatles fan since he was nine years old and 27 years later teamed up with Paul McCartney to write an excellent batch of songs that both men released on future albums. Costello made it here by beating Carly Rae Jepsen, John Mayer and Michael Jackson in the first three rounds, then toppling the resilient Taylor Swift with 78% of the vote. The Beatles defeated Shakira, Ben Folds and Lyle Lovett before besting Randy Newman with 75% in Round Four. Quite a gauntlet. This half of the Final Four is identical to the one I arrived at when running through these brackets solo. That means three of the final four artists in the community version match my own picks. Great minds think alike! This is truly a matchup without a loser. I'll be thrilled to see either contestant advance, and saddened to lose the other. Both are top five artists for me and have been for a very long time. I've been a Beatles fan longer. Like a lot of young people, regardless of generation, I discovered the Fab Four in my teens and gobbled up their catalog until I knew it by heart. Once, during a lazy 9th grade summer, I typed out the lyrics to every one of their songs. By ear, on a typewriter. It's with the spirit of that 14-year-old kid that I'm voting for the incomparable Beatles today, even against one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever. [Note: An earlier version of this post featured a performance of 'Penny Lane' by Costello at the White House during Barack Obama's presidency. I later realized I had featured that song on the blog before — a big no-no! — so I replaced it with this song.] Is there anybody going to listen to my story All about the girl who came to stay? She's the kind of girl you want so much It makes you sorry Still, you don't regret a single day Ah girl Girl, girl When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her She will turn to me and start to cry And she promises the earth to me And I believe her After all this times I don't know why Ah, girl She's the kind of girl who puts you down When friends are there, you feel a fool When you say she's looking good She acts as if it's understood She's cool, cool, cool, cool Was she told when she was young that pain Would lead to pleasure? Did she understand it when they said That a man must break his back to earn His day of leisure? Will she still believe it when he's dead? This entry was posted in song of the day and tagged Elvis Costello, mmrd5, montaukmadness, Penny Lane, The Beatles. 5 thoughts on "Song of the Day #3,329: 'Girl (Live)' – Elvis Costello vs. The Beatles" I need to step back from the contest for a moment to note how wonderful it was to have Obama as our president for eight years for a million reasons, one of which was his appreciation for the arts and the way in which artists embraced him. I can't imagine anyone other than Kid Rock or Ted Nugent playing for our current Embarassment-in-Chief. Sad! Anyway, back to the contest…of course I've been a fan of The Beatles since I was probably in diapers, but what you describe occurring for you as a teenager – becoming a fan as a teenager and gobbling up the records – was exactly what happened to me with Costello. The only other artist having that same impact on me also made the final four of this contest – Billy Joel. So for me, the vote goes to Costello, though I too will be happy to see either advance to the championship round. As Daniel said a few rounds ago, it would have been special and unexpected to see a worthy but often under appreciated artist such as Lyle Lovett become the winner of Montauk Madness, as any generic poll might produce a result with Dylan or The Beatles as the winner. Still, now that foolish voters have ousted Lovett from the contest, there is nothing left to do but demonstrate why the Beatles often do end up with that crown. Yes, they influenced countless artists but not without continuing to make a powerful impression on those young people who came along long after they were first making their music, I watched both my brother and my daughter go through similarly obsessive Beatles phases decades (and then decades plus!) after that music had first been released. As Daniel also said in a post earlier in this contest, we don't have the luxury of time having already passed to be able to "prove" that a Taylor Swift, say, will have a lasting appeal (though I'm willing to place bets that my future grandchildren will one day be singing along with her songs). With the Beatles, no such projection is necessary. We know that their music continues to resonate generation after generation. It is not to reward them for having stood the test of time but to recognize how meaningful their music had always been that I cast my vote for the inevitable winner of this here contest… the Beatles. Beatles all the way! The Cool Guy (Daniel) says: I don't necessarily have a dog in this race anymore. Billy Joel is the closest artist still in this competition to my favorite artist, whereas I wouldn't put the other 3 even in my top 10. That being said, as Amy said, I did make a comment a little whiles back saying I think the competition would be boring if The Beatles and Bob Dylan were the final 2. 2 that could be considered the favorite artist by anybody on the street. Perhaps, that means that their rightful place is in the top two. However, I will continue to do what's in my power to make this competition reflect a more unique perspective. Therefore, in that vain I will vote for Elvis Costello. A truly under appreciated artist who is one of the best songwriters out there. He masterfully has worked his way through many genres throughout his prolific career, all the while only on few occasions receiving the audience to correspond with the quality. Here I will try in my small way to rectify that by voting for him. Dana, thanks for stepping back! One day before the best inauguration ever, the best speech ever and the most visited inauguration ever I read about the problems that DT had to find musical support (Nugent, I was a fan, sorry, I was 15 years old…). My first thought was confirmed the other day: Toby Keith… Back to the contest. Beatles, Costello, Dylan, yadda yadda, I don't care who wins, Lu and Tift won my heart many years ago, I am faithful😉

I always get excited when I get to try new restaurants, or more importantly ones I haven't heard about … and are halal friendly! Win win! I recently came across Kiri, a Japanese Restaurant just off Bond Street (opposite Drunch!) My friend and I headed there after a rainy shopping trip.. one of many! The interior is a small-mid sized space.. and whenever a guest arrives at the restaurant the host shouts something in Japanese and the rest of the service responds (in a similar shouting tone!) in Japanese … now I had no idea what they were saying but it sounded like fun nonetheless. The service was really helpful.. the fact that I hadn't asked him about halal options but we had enquiries about it while booking was great. All the halal dishes were pointed out to us and explained. Now the dishes that are halal are pretty random. Some of the chicken, some of he steaks were halal but not all, this is because some contain alcohol. We decided to go for a few mixed options. The concept is small plates so no real starters or mains I guess (apart from steaks etc) so we ordered a bunch of dishes – Miso Aubergine, shrimp tempura and a whole lot of sushi, chicken teriyaki (but as the teriyaki sauce contains alcohol we opted for a yuzu sauce) and kimchi rice. First … the Miso Aubergine wasn't something I was totally keen on because it fels a bit odd to be having aubergines when there are halal meat dishes to be eaten! But our lovely waiter was quite insistent so we tried it.. and so glad we did. It was great I loved it, I felt that the skin was a bit hard but the tastiness really took over. For sushi, we got the salmon and tuna maki. The tuna was my favourite, it was crunchy and so tasty although at £12 for 6 pieces it was pushing it a bit in terms of price vs experience. The shrimp tempura was nothing special, just a regular tempura doing it's thing in life, but nothing exciting – it was a mediocre dish or at least felt like it in comparison to everything else. I'd miss this one off next time round I think. We got the Chicken Teriyaki but our waiter advised against the teriyaki sauce as it contains alcohol. He gave us an option of some alternative sauces and we went for a yuzu. This was one of my favourtie dishes, and I could have licked the plate clean if it was socially acceptable. The chicken was tender, juicy and so tasty! I can't remember the last time I had such succulent chicken – it was pretty dreamy! We got some kimchee rice to go with the chicken which was great on its own to be honest! Now onto the desserts, there was nothing that really excited me about their dessert menu but nonetheless we went ahead and ordered 2 because you can't have a meal without a dessert! My friend got the chocolate mousse and I went for the ice cream – 2 flavours of green tea and black sesame seed ice cream. I absolutely loved both flavours, the green tea was just the right amount of tea-flavoured and the black sesame seed the right amount of sweet, what a great combo! Overall, I absolutely loved this little gem of a place tucked away in the back streets of Oxford Street. I don't think there is anything that I could fault about this restaurant. I think I may have found my new favourite hideout. Although I have to say for 8 small dishes, I wasn't expecting the bill to be £85 (£42 per person). I know 8 dishes sounds like a lot and you're probably thinking i'm expecting too much for too less, but I guess the size of the dishes was not enough to warrant a £42 pp bill. Part from that I have to commend the service, everyone was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Overall, giving Kiri a total TLH score of 7 out of 10.

SCOTLAND'S Boat Show 2018 takes to the water and shore with a new, expanded layout and more attractions as thousands head to Kip Marina, Inverkip this October from all over the UK. Meanwhile Inspiration Marine are also aiming for their biggest ever range of design-led Hanse yachts to be on display with the potential for more to be added as the show approaches. Moving to a new waterside location, Marine Sales Scotland's powerboat offering promises a full range of boats for all budgets and interests including an expanded display of the popular Quicksilver Activ models. Managing director Stan Prosser said: "Scotland's Boat Show at Kip Marina has firmly established itself as the most important show in the north and continues to attract more visitors from all over the UK year on year, with Marine Sales Scotland similarly enjoying increased sales each show." A new small boat area will feature Hartley Boats's flagship display of award-winning sport dinghies. Building on last year's show, and with the aim of encouraging more people to get involved in boats and boating in Scotland for the first time, the ever-popular RYA Scotland pavilion moves to a new and larger site and showcases the latest marine and leisure products from UK-wide companies. It's also the base for RYA Scotland's free taster sessions which allow visitors to try a short hands-on experience on yachts, motor yachts, rigid inflatable boats and sailing dinghies in the safe environment of Kip Marina under the expert eye of RYA Scotland's partners SportScotland National Centre Cumbrae, Ocean Youth Trust Scotland, Clyde Muirshiel Country Park and You and Sea Training. More than 350 visitors took part in the sessions last year. RYA Scotland's new online booking service, available via scotlandsboatshow.co.uk aims to significantly increase the number of participants across all age groups and abilities. For mobility-impaired visitors, Clyde Muirshiel will again be featuring the wheelyboat Discovery, sailing taster sessions will be available in the accessible Hansa 303 dinghies while Ocean Youth Trust Scotland will also have their yacht open for visitors to go aboard. Another popular visitor is the 60-foot Taeping, the first Clipper round-the-world race yacht, which will be welcoming visitors throughout the show for those wishing a closer view. Back on shore the popular Sika Marine Stage and Theatre moves to the RYA Scotland pavilion and is the venue for three days of free lectures and presentations organised in association with the Cruising Association. On offer will be a series of subject themes ranging from the Cruising Association's expert's advice on sailing round Britain to sampling the fresh Scottish produce of Alba Seafood. More undercover exhibition space is added for 2018 with the new Riverside Inverclyde Pavilion which is the venue for smaller boats, marine andleisure exhibitors, plus an expanded Kip Marina Chandlery and the new location for the Taste Inverclyde/Chartroom café. The new car and motorhome area features cars from Porsche, Morgan, Mitsubishi and Lotus, prestigious motorhomes from Swift and luxury holiday homes from Cloch Caravans. There will be the opportunity to take a ride in an F1 Powerboat, courtesy of Gordon Cook Racing, or a helicopter flight over Kip Marina, viewing the stunning scenery of the Firth of Clyde with the team from Adventure001 -- advance bookings for flights and the F1 Powerboats will be available on scotlandsboatshow.co.uk. The Clyde LifeStyle Pavilion will host more than 40 artisan craft and luxury goods exhibitors and everything from fashion to furniture. There will be food and drink exhibitors in the adjacent West College Scotland Food and Drink Pavilion plus the live demonstration theatre where students show off their skills using fresh Scottish produce.

Lubián es un municipio y localidad española de la provincia de Zamora, en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León. Es uno de los municipios bilingües de la provincia de Zamora, ya que sus habitantes utilizan habitualmente tanto el castellano como el gallego. Geografía Se encuentra situado al noroeste de la provincia de Zamora, junto a la provincia de Orense y próximo a la frontera con Portugal. Pertenece a la denominada Alta Sanabria, una subcomarca de la comarca histórica y tradicional de Sanabria. En su término municipal se encuentran las localidades de Aciberos, Chanos, Las Hedradas, Hedroso, Lubián y Padornelo. Se localiza a 139 kilómetros de la capital provincial. Su ubicación geográfica, contigua a Galicia y próxima a Portugal, ha propiciado que sea uno de los pocos municipios bilingües de la provincia de Zamora, ya que sus habitantes utilizan habitualmente el idioma español y el gallego. El término municipal está atravesado por la Autovía de las Rías Bajas A-52 entre los pK 98 y 111, así como por la carretera nacional N-525, que en algún tramo se ha renombrado como ZA-106. Cuenta con una estación de ferrocarril convencional, la estación de Lubián. En la actualidad se está construyendo la futura Línea Ferroviaria de Alta Velocidad entre Madrid y Galicia, que pasará por el municipio, aunque las estaciones más cercanas serán La Gudiña-AV u Otero de Sanabria. El relieve del territorio es muy quebrado y con difícil acceso a las restantes localidades zamoranas de Sanabria. Por el norte se extiende la Sierra Segundera y por el sur la Sierra Gamoneda. Entre estas montañas, se encuentra el valle de Lubián, formado por el río Tuela y sus afluentes (río Pedro, río Leira), al que se accede por el puerto de Padornelo (1360 metros) desde Requejo y del que se sale por el puerto de la Canda (1250 metros) hacia Galicia. La altitud del término municipal oscila entre los 1783 metros en el entorno de la Fraga da Osa (Sierra Segundera) y los 870 metros a orillas del río Tuela en la frontera con el término municipal de Hermisende. El pueblo se alza a 1065 metros sobre el nivel del mar. El camino mozárabe-sanabrés Lubián es el último municipio del camino mozárabe-sanabrés a su paso por la provincia de Zamora. En esta población el peregrino encuentra la primera de las más de un centenar de "piedras", todas diferentes, realizadas por el escultor orensano Carballo y dispuestas a lo largo del trazado por la provincia de Orense. Historia En la Edad Media, con el avance de la Reconquista, Lubián quedó integrado en el Reino de León, adscripción que mantuvo posteriormente, hecho por el cual, durante la Edad Moderna, la documentación recoge explícitamente la pertenencia de Lubián al Adelantamiento del Reino de León. Existe la teoría, sobre la base de la tradición oral local, de que Lubián pudo pertenecer a la Orden del Temple durante época medieval, si bien la falta de documentos no permite hacer ninguna afirmación concluyente al respecto. Ya en la Edad Contemporánea, al crearse en 1833 las actuales provincias, Lubián quedó integrado en la provincia de Zamora, dentro ésta de la Región Leonesa. Monumentos y lugares de interés Santuario de la Virgen de la Tuiza. Declarado Bien de Interés Cultural, conserva en su interior la Virgen de las Nieves, patrona de la Alta Sanabria. Castro de As Muradellas. Se trata de un antiguo castro astur que data del Está declarado Bien de Interés Cultural. Iglesia de San Mamés. Construida en estilo barroco tardío. Arquitectura tradicional. Sus viviendas se suelen organizar siguiendo el esquema de cuadra (corte) en planta baja y vivienda en la superior, a la que se accede mediante una escalera exterior que desemboca en un corredor de madera, elementos destacados de la arquitectura sanabresa. Los muros se construyen con mampuesto de granito, mientras que la estructura de forjados y cubierta se realiza con madera de roble. El interior de la vivienda suele limitarse a varios dormitorios y una cocina alrededor de la cual se organiza la vida. Cortello dos Lobos. Es un antiguo y peculiar recinto realizado con arquitectura tradicional como trampa para la caza de lobos. Cultura Fiestas Entre las principales fiestas de esta localidad, destacan: Virgen de la Tuiza, el 5 de agosto. Fiesta local, los días 8 y 9 de septiembre. Romería de la Tuiza, el último fin de semana de septiembre. En Lubián también se organizan otros actos como el de folk-rock Nas Portelas y el de bandas de música tradicional. Demografía El municipio de Lubián, como la mayoría de los municipios de Sanabria, se encuentra en una situación de decrecimiento vegetativo. La situación actual tiene su origen en varias oleadas de emigración, principalmente el éxodo rural de los años 1950 y 1960 con destino a Madrid, Barcelona o Bilbao. Si bien este fue el movimiento migratorio más intenso, también tuvieron lugar otros con anterioridad y con posterioridad a las décadas indicadas, como los que durante la primera mitad del se centraron primero en Iberoamérica -principalmente Argentina y Cuba - y posteriormente en Europa -Francia, Suiza y Alemania-. La continua emigración ha afectado negativamente al dato más visible, el de la densidad de población de Lubián, con una evolución negativa que es consecuencia directa del cada vez menor número de vecinos. Pero también han afectado a otros aspectos menos visibles a simple vista como son los relacionados con la composición de su masa de población. En este sentido, se ha producido un notable crecimiento del índice de envejecimiento y el índice de natalidad es sensiblemente inferior al de mortalidad. Núcleos de población El municipio se divide en seis núcleos de población, que poseían la siguiente población en 2020 según el INE. Ayuntamiento La alcaldía lleva varias legislaturas en manos del PSOE, siendo clave para ello la figura de Felipe Lubián, alcalde del municipio desde 1979.

While exploring the coastline, our surfEXPLORE team met a cross-section of local residents, including tribal people with little involvement with or concern for 21st-century tech or culture, betel-nut-chewing indigenous Papuan people who have lived in this area continuously for roughly 30,000 years, and quite a few transmigrasi—ethnic Malay Asian Indonesians who've received government assistance to leave crowded areas like Java and Bali and resettle in Papua. What we did not see was a single Caucasian foreigner (other than ourselves) in three weeks on the coast. SurfEXPLORE is a multi-national group who travel to some of the world's more remote and exotic locations seeking undiscovered surfing waves, and teaming up with Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation (ASC) to contribute to environmental research along the way. Our core team is French surfer Erwan Simon, British longboard champion Sam Bleakley, Italian surfer Emiliano Cataldi, and me, American photographer John Seaton Callahan. This was our fifth project in Pacific Indonesia, and it remains one of our favorite places to travel, explore, and surf. When we contacted the Tourism Official in Sarmi, a large town on the coast known as "Kota Ombak," or "City of Waves" in Bahasa, the woman there said they recorded 24 foreign visitors in all of 2014. And as we have at each stop on our journeys, we made scientific use out of our presence here, collecting water samples for the team at ASC Microplastics to analyze and add to their database of microplastic content throughout the world's waters.

In this issue of Hospital Pediatrics, Khurana Hershey et al9 demonstrate that variation in asthma care continues to exist, reinforcing findings in earlier studies. They used the Ohio Pediatric Asthma Registry, a comprehensive statewide prospective study linking clinical, demographic, environmental, and health outcomes data from the 6 major children's hospitals in Ohio. The authors report wide variation in hospital-level rates of what they term "nonstandard" practices (eg, inpatient ipratropium, IV steroids, chest radiographs, antibiotics). Rates of these practices ranged from 20% to 93% across the 6 hospitals. The authors also explored associations between provider practices and time until "physiologic readiness for discharge (PRD)," measured as hours from admission to first 4-hour albuterol spacing or discharge. They found that several practices were associated with shorter PRD (use of spot pulse oximetry) and longer PRD (continuous albuterol, IV steroids, antibiotics, chest radiographs). However, as the authors acknowledge, their analyses have a limitation. The authors had no ability to account for potential differences across hospitals in the severity of patients' asthma exacerbations because of the lack of standardized assessment tools. Consequently, their conclusions about relationships between practices and PRD may be due to confounding (eg, more severe patients get continuous albuterol and need longer hospital stays). This limits our ability to apply their findings to improve asthma care. QI shows promise for tackling unwarranted variation, but our current approaches most often focus on small-scale, local interventions and favor action over evidence.19 As the field looks forward and becomes better resourced for conducting QI, we should endeavor to improve our expertise and approaches to fully realize QI's potential for reducing unwarranted variation and achieving large-scale improvements in care for our patients. We propose 3 strategies for improving QI to achieve these goals. For QI interventions to have more widespread benefits for children, potential adopters need adequate guidance on exactly how to implement interventions successfully. Implementation science can be used to provide frameworks and guidance on how to design and evaluate QI interventions to facilitate more successful uptake.21 Authors of QI reports and studies should better describe how they designed and implemented their interventions, what barriers they faced and how they were overcome, and which components of their intervention were most important in improving care. After initial gains are achieved with a QI intervention, improvements are often lost as attention shifts to other priorities and staff revert to the "old way" of doing things. Few pediatric QI interventions have examined outcomes >6 months after implementation.22 Although there are general frameworks for sustaining the benefits of QI interventions,23 it is still unclear which strategies are most feasible and effective. Understanding this will require sustained data collection and monitoring. Local QI interventions to standardize care are only a first step in addressing unwarranted practice variation. The next important steps are improving our QI strategies and reach. To achieve widespread improvements in child health, we must scale up QI interventions that prove effective. We urge QI leaders to develop further expertise to apply rigorous study designs (eg, include control units and sites), expand their efforts to include more settings (eg, an academic center and affiliated community hospitals), detail the implementation strategies used, and monitor outcomes for longer durations of time. By leveraging our field's passion for QI in these ways, we can realize true gains in providing the highest quality care for children within and beyond our hospital walls. We acknowledge Naomi Bardach, Michael Cabana, and Amy Markowitz for their thoughtful comments on earlier drafts of this commentary.

Home»Files»Death penalty»A brief on the death penalty during the first half of 2020 22 July, 2020 Death penalty, Monitoring Death penalty Egyptian Front monitored the death penalty in Egypt during the first half of 2020. It appears that Egyptian authorities insist on using the death penalty in criminal offenses and are widely using it in political cases. This in addition to violations committed against the defendants in these cases during their trial period and thus infringing their right to a fair trial. During the first half of 2020, Civil and Military Criminal courts issued 171 death sentences, most of which are criminal cases. Also, the Cassation Court upheld sentences on 10 defendants in 3 cases, most of which are political. Meanwhile, Egyptian authorities executed 34 persons in 11 cases, 3 of which include events of political violence. Egyptian courts continue to widely use the death penalty in several crimes. A number of 105 crimes are punishable by the death penalty as stipulated by Penal Code no. 58 for the year 1937 and its amendments, Military Code of Justice no. 25 for the year 1966, Firearms and ammunition law no. 394 for the year 1954, and Narcotic Drugs Control law no. 182 for the year 1960. The death penalty in Egypt is problematic as it is widely used in various crimes not only in heavy ones. Also, the defendants are mostly deprived of their right to a fair trial due to the grave violations of standards of a fair trial. Within the framework of the monthly monitoring of the death penalty, the Egyptian front has communicated with lawyers and monitored the media for documentation purposes. Egyptian front has documented the execution of 34 defendants, 10 of whom are part of 3 cases of terrorism and political violence known in the media as "Churches bombing", "Al-Wahat case", and "Al-Farafra Checkpoint". It also monitored the confirmation of the Cassation Courts to execute 10 defendants, 7 of whom are part of political violence case known as "Helwan police station". This in addition to handing down death sentences to 171 defendants, 40 of whom are part of two political violence cases known in the media as "Ansar Beit alMaqdis" (37 to be executed) and "Assassination attempt of Alexandria's Security Chief" (3 to be executed). 37 out of the 40 are part of "Ansar Beit al Maqdis" and the other 3 are part of the Assassination Attempt case. Meanwhile, the documents of 158 defendants in 59 cases, 40 of whom are part of political cases, were referred to the Grand Mufti for his advisory opinion regarding their death sentence. The Death penalty situation during the first half of 2020 First: Execution of the death penalty. Egyptian Front monitored the execution of at least 34 defendants in 11 cases, 8 of whom were convicted in case no. 165 for the year 2017, Military, known in the media as "bombing churches" on February 25, 2020. Hisham Ashmawy was executed on March 4th against the backdrop of case no. 1 for the year 2014, Military, known in the media as "alFarafra Checkpoint". Abdel Rahim al-Mesmar- was also executed against the backdrop of case no. 160 for the year 2018, West Cairo Military, known in the media as "Al-Wahat Case". While Egyptian Front assures it stands against terrorism and does not by any means claim the innocence of any of the aforementioned defendants, it however emphasizes the importance of maintaining fair trial standards for everyone without discrimination. It has appeared that a number of defendants were subjected to enforced disappearances, physical and mental coercion, and the investigation sources were kept unknown. This reveals clear violations to fair trial standards in cases of capital punishment. An infographic showing the executions during the first half of 2020 Second: Confirming death sentences The Court of Cassation upheld the death sentence of one person in a criminal case in January 2020. In March, it upheld another death sentence on two defendants' criminal case. It also confirmed the death sentences of 7 political defendants in case no. 8280/2014 Helwan felonies, known in the media as "Helwan Police Station". Therefore, the total number of cases upheld by Court of Cassation in the first half of 2020 is 10 in 3 cases. ِAn Infographic showing the situation of death sentences upheld during the first half of 2020 Third: Death sentences Egyptian Front monitored death sentences handed down to more than 171 defendants in 73 cases, 40 of whom are part of two political cases; Ansar Beit al Maqdis and Assassination Attempt of Alexandria's Security Chief cases. Worthy to note that the latter is an emergency state security case where once a verdict is issued from an Emergency state security court it cannot be appealed. Also, 131 defendants were sentenced to death in 71 criminal cases. An Infographic showing death sentence status during the first half of 2020 Fourth: Referrals to the Grand Mufti Egyptian courts referred more than 158 defendants in 59 cases to the Grand Mufti to get his advisory religious opinion on their death sentences. 40 of these defendants are part of political cases known as Ansar Beit al Maqdis and Attempted assassination of Alexandria's security chief.

It's a city so crazy for coffee that two identical Starbucks can be found kitty-corner from one another and both are busy. Sep. 29, 2009 3:46 p.m. VANCOUVER — It's a city so crazy for coffee that two identical Starbucks can be found kitty-corner from one another and both are busy. So when Vancouverites found out that just one brand of brew will be available at Olympic venues when the 2010 Games come to town, the roast quickly began. Far Coast, brewed by sponsor Coca-Cola, will be the official coffee of the Games, and that's hard to swallow for some locals. "They better have paid a lot of money to pay off the Olympics, because otherwise it's not worth the effort," said Norbert Pinter, 26, after taking a sip of Far Coast and comparing it to the Starbucks in his hand. Ahead of the Games, a coffee competition is already percolating. "It's a shame that they (tourists) are only going to get one variety of coffee offered. I think they should be allowed to get more than one type of coffee at Olympic venues," said Dylan Ashwood, 25, outside a local gourmet chain.

Casella, E.Collin, A.Harris, D.Ferse, S. C. A.Bejarano, S.Parravicini, V.Hench, J. L.Rovere, A. We propose a novel technique to measure the small-scale three-dimensional features of a shallow-water coral reef using a small drone equipped with a consumer grade camera, a handheld GPS and structure from motion (SfM) algorithms. We used a GoPro HERO4 with a modified lens mounted on a DJI Phantom 2 drone (maximum total takeoff weight < 2 kg) to perform a 10 min flight and collect 306 aerial images with an overlap equal or greater than 90%. We mapped an area of 8380 m2 , obtaining as output an orthorectified aerial photomosaic and a bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) with a resolution of 0.78 and 1.56 cm pixel-1, respectively. Through comparison with airborne LiDAR data for the same area, we verified that the location of the ortho-rectified aerial photomosaic is accurate within ~1.4 m. The bathymetric difference between our DEM and the LiDAR dataset is -0.016 ± 0.45 m (1s). Our results show that it is possible, in conditions of calm waters, low winds and minimal sun glint, to deploy consumer-grade drones as a relatively low-cost and rapid survey technique to produce multispectral and bathymetric data on shallow-water coral reefs. We discuss the utility of such data to monitor temporal changes in topographic complexity of reefs and associated biological processes.

As a way to honor the U.S. Military and show her support to other Veteran's, Thompson will donate half the proceeds from her stores – located in Lansing (2002 W. Saginaw) and in Ionia (2331 S. State Rd.) – to the national She Serves VFW on Veteran's day, this Friday, Nov. 11. "Obviously this day is a very important to both my family and I," Thompson said. "Over the past few years, I have picked a few different organizations like She Serves VFW to donate to as a way show my gratitude and support for the work they do." Before becoming a part of the BIGGBY COFFEE franchise family, Thompson graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point and served five years active duty at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina. Along with her husband, Mark, the two served a combined total of four tours in Iraq, spanning more than three years, before returning to Michigan in 2007. "Once I was home, I got involved with BIGGBY through my mom, who owns stores herself, and since day one I have loved every minute of it," Thompson said. "It was originally supposed to be my husband who opened our store, but after he was deployed for his final tour in Iraq, it became my responsibility. Today I can say it's the best job in the world." So along with her one-month old daughter, Thompson opened her Lansing store on her husband's birthday in June of 2007. Then, in April of 2010 on the seventh anniversary of their first deployment, Paula purchased her store in Ionia. "Both of my stores are in very supportive communities so I know we will have an awesome turnout for Veteran's day," Thompson said. "I am very grateful for the support I have received and for the way everything has turned out… now it's my turn to say thank you and give back." About BIGGBY COFFEE® East Lansing, Mich.-based BIGGBY® COFFEE opened a single store in March of 1995 based on the founding principle that coffee-lovers and the coffee-curious alike would benefit from a less pretentious approach to the standard gourmet café paradigm. BIGGBY COFFEE introduced connoisseur-worthy drinks with pronounceable names like Teddy Bear and Caramel Marvel, and barista staff surprised guests with simple gestures like free kazoos and bouncy balls for no other reason than to brighten their day.

New Revolutionary Japanese Invention Allows Men To Breastfeed Their Babies Snack Attack! Fishermen Watch In Shock As A Hungry Crocodile Steals A Shark They Had Just Caught Touching Bodycam Footage Shows Cop Hugging Scared Suspect After Chase Little Girl Serenades Her Beloved Cat One Last Time Before He Passes Away Sasha Alexander: Interesting Facts About the NCIS and Rizzoli & Isles Star Sasha Alexander is a famous American actress who has Serbian and Italian roots. Sasha Alexander is most renowned for her portrayal of Caitlin Todd in the famous detective drama NCIS. She also played the titular role of coroner Maura Isles in the famous show Rizzoli & Isles. She also starred in the romantic drama flick Rose Fever. Let's find out more about her. Who is Sasha Alexander? When was Sasha Alexander born? She was born on May 17th, 1973 in Los Angeles, California. When did Sasha Alexander start acting? She started acting at school in 7th grade. She also did ice skating, but had to abandon it because she suffered a devastating knee injury. She continued to perform in high school and college, and later moved to New York to perform in traditional summer theater and Shakespeare festivals. She graduated from the University of Southern California's Film School. What is Sasha Alexander's religion? Sasha Alexander is Jewish although ironically her character in the movie Rose Fever is a devout Catholic. Sasha Alexander: Professional Acting Career Sasha Alexander Alexander acted regularly in two short series: the medical drama Presidio Med and the 1920s ABC drama, Wasteland. She was featured in the fourth season of Dawson's Creek as Gretchen Witter, and also in an episode of the comedy series Greg the Bunny, playing the role of a lesbian reporter in which she gives Sarah Silverman a memorable kiss. She was also featured in the films Lucky 13, The Other Couple, and Twin Falls Idaho. Her role on the series NCIS ended in May 2005, and she landed a small role in Mission: Impossible 3. She worked on an episode of the series The Nine as Nick's ex-wife, and most recently has made guest appearances on the series Dark Blue and House MD. What is Sasha Alexander's most famous role? In 2010, Sasha Alexander started portraying the forensic doctor "Maura Isles" on the hit show Rizzoli & Isles during its first, second, third and fourth season, which premiered on June 25th, 2013. Who is Sasha Alexander married to? On August 11, 2007, Sasha Alexander married director Edoardo Ponti, son of actress Sofia Loren and film producer Carlo Ponti. They were married in Geneva, Switzerland. How many children does Sasha Alexander have? Sasha Alexander has two children, Lucia Sofia, born May 12th, 2006 and Leonardo Fortunato, born on December 20th, 2010. Her best friend is Jessica Capshaw. Sasha and Jessica are godmothers to each other's children. Sasha Alexander: Best Quotes Stage work, that's all I have in my background. Wasteland was my first TV experience. Dawson's was my first long-term, I mean the entire season of 22 episodes. I entered into Dawson's Creek to do a couple of episodes. They weren't sure about my role in the beginning, but then the chemistry kind of worked. When I graduated college I needed to make money while I was pursuing acting, so I read screenplays and made a living writing coverage on them for studios. I still feel like I have a lot of growing up to do 'til I find the voice. Everybody has their own voice and their own thing they want to say to the world. I just saw the movie for the first time in its entirely last night. It's really cool when you're in with an audience that's so tuned in and plugged in to what's going on. Hollywood looks to these young people now to say something to the world. I have nothing against that, I think a lot of people have things to say. But I think you need life experience. I always say if you've seen good acting on television, those actors are really good. Because there's just not enough time. You don't have any preparation. I really love the process, with stage, of rehearsal, you get to create a character, and you have a beginning, a middle, and an end of story. And in television, you don't. I'm going to tell stories to the world. I think there's time for me to grow. We'll see. Did Sasha Alexander want to be an exotic dancer? Yes, actress Sasha Alexander famously said in an interview, "I actually wanted to be an exotic dancer, but that didn't work out so I thought I'd take on acting." Why did Sasha Alexander leave NCIS? The long-running hit crime drama on the CBS network, NCIS, just unveiled the season 18 finale this week, leaving the door open for the 19th installment that should appear on screen in late 2021. NCIS began in 2003 with its first episodes, and over the years criminal drama fans have become accustomed to seeing countless characters come and go who have come to life in the plot of the procedural series. One of NCIS's most notable exits was that of star Sasha Alexander, who played agent Caitlin 'Kate' Todd, staying from the series' premiere in 2003 through season 2. At the series premiere, Todd was a Secret Service agent, but team leader Leroy Gibbs (Mark Harmon) made her an offer to be a part of NCIS, and then she quickly became a fan favorite due to her ongoing flirtation with Tony DiNozzo, Michael Weatherly's character. However, it was at the end of the second installment that NCIS surprised fans when they k****d Kate, despite the fact that Sasha Alexander had a six-season contract and fans expected Kate to be around for a long time. Alexander's departure from the CBS series generated intrigue among fans who were dismayed by her character's early d***h on NCIS.
