Introduction to the Network Approximation Method for Materials Modeling | Free eBooks Download - EBOOKEE! In recent years the traditional subject of continuum mechanics has grown rapidly and many new techniques have emerged. This text provides a rigorous, yet accessible introduction to the basic concepts of the network approximation method and provides a unified approach for solving a wide variety of applied problems. As a unifying theme, the authors discuss in detail the transport problem in a system of bodies. They solve the problem of closely placed bodies using the new method of network approximation for PDE with discontinuous coefficients, developed in the 2000s by applied mathematicians in the USA and Russia. Intended for graduate students in applied mathematics and related fields such as physics, chemistry and engineering, the book is also a useful overview of the topic for researchers in these areas.

School news concluded SCHOOL NEWS—Concluded COUNTY DEBATE June—Instead of the Annual County Declamation contest that is usually held in Garrett County, this year there will be a County debate. The subject for debate is: "Resolved, That it should be the policy of our nation to invest more power in the Federal Government." The two debating teams are composed of one member from each of the six high schools in Garrett County. Grantsville, Friendsville and Accident are on the affirmative side; on the negative, Kitzmiller, Oakland and Kempton. The debate which has aroused the interest of all the schools in the county will be held early in June. Those who participated in the Oakland High School debate were: Affirmative, Jacqueline Lockyer, Donald Moore, Lewis Wildman, Joseph Sollars; negative, Elizabeth Gibson, Susanna Dixon, Willa Harvey, Rozelle Brenneman. ADDITION MADE TO O. H. S. The Oakland High School for several years past has been so overcrowded that it was almost impossible to carry on classes and school activities in the proper way. Early last fall the School Board and County Commissioners decided that the school should be enlarged. The contract for the construction of the building was given to W. E. Priest of Uniontown, Pa. The work was started immediately and carried out so effectively that by February 15 the new part was ready for use. Now all the departments of Oakland High School have better and more complete quarters in which to carry on class work and to take care of the large number of students enrolled. The second floor of the building has seven rooms, all of which are suitable for class work. The lower floor contains eight rooms, seven of which are suitable for class work. The eighth one has been made into a spacious and well equipped library. The outstanding feature of the addition is the enlarged auditorium. This room was formerly 37 by 58 feet, but it is now 37 by 85 feet. The addition has practically doubled the seating capacity of the hall. A stage large enough for school plays and commencement exercises has been added. The stage has a beautiful maroon colored velvet curtain, trimmed artistically with gold braid and with the insignia of O. H. S. beautifully encrested in the center of the curtain. The Maffett property was purchased and has been converted into an Agriculture Department. The Home Economics Department will probably have part of this house for their practice work. We, as students, most heartily welcome these additions and are very thankful that they were completed while the present Senior Class was here to enjoy the improvements. O. H. S. may well be proud of its library —the largest and most up-to-date in the County. In the change that took place when the annex was added, the library was moved from the second floor to a large and well lighted room on the first floor. During the year about one hundred and fifty volumes of fiction, history and science have been added to the library by the school. The library has also been made very attractive by the new equipment that has recently been installed. This new furniture includes low reading tables, comfortable chairs and magazine racks. The large room, new books and attractive furniture make the library an ideal place for reference work and reading. gcoh031 Senior Class, Oakland High School Ruth Enlow Library, Oakland 27 x 19 cms Sincell Printery School yearbooks; Oakland (Md.)--Genealogy Oakland (Md.), 1930

Successful leaders have always relied on some form of data to help them make decisions. Data collection used to be done manually and it was quite financial & time & HR demanding activity. For this reason, many companies used to operate with limited data collection, even they were ever that data can help them understand their customers better, meet better decisions or solve difficult problems. Nowadays, gathering data is much easier because many useful and very user-friendly tools were developed. Most of the companies, organizations or institutions are collecting data and working actively with them in order to enhance their operations to ensure the overall growth. Why is data important for your clinic? Want to know what data top clinics collect around the world to improve their reputation, reviews and revenue over time? Here's a handy chart that we have put together with exactly what should be tracked at each stage of the patient journey. This can be done in a simple spreadsheet or other software by your admin team and will give you a real overview of what's working and what isn't – and most importantly – what to improve. I hope that helps!

Media for the curious. New England News Collaborative The Island Next Door Sharing America Colin McEnroe Show Pardon Me: Another Damn Impeachment Show? Faith Middleton Food Schmooze Connecticut Garden Journal All Radio Programs Health Equity and Access Project Students and Schools The Beaker China Allows Foreign Experts To Treat Terminally Ill Nobel Laureate Liu Xiaobo By Chris Benderev • Jul 5, 2017 A video clip shows China's jailed Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo on a computer screen, lying on a bed receiving medical treatment at a hospital in Beijing. China says it has invited U.S. and German liver cancer experts to join a medical team treating Liu. Andy Wong / AP China granted permission Wednesday for cancer specialists from the United States, Germany and other countries to help treat imprisoned political dissident and Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo as he struggles with late-stage liver cancer, according to a statement released by a local judicial bureau. The concession by China is seen by some as an attempt to improve its image on human rights as Chinese President Xi Jinping attends a G-20 Summit in Germany this weekend. Sources told Reuters that China is concerned the ailing Nobel laureate's treatment could negatively affect President Xi's talks at the gathering. The brief statement Wednesday said the Chinese medical team had agreed with a request from Liu's family for the foreign cancer experts. The statement did not specify which other foreign countries besides the United States and Germany may send experts. As NPR has reported, late last month the 61-year-old Liu was allowed out of prison on parole for medical treatment after apparently receiving a diagnosis of terminal liver cancer at the end of May. Liu's supporters have questioned whether Chinese authorities intentionally delayed his diagnosis, according to the Associated Press. Liu was part of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, but the essayist and literary critic's most famous political dissent came in 2008 when he composed a six-page manifesto entitled "Charter 08." It called for sweeping political reforms, including separation of powers, an independent judiciary and doing away with the crime of "incitement to subvert state power." This was the very crime for which the government sentenced him to 11 years in prison in 2009, one year after he published "Charter 08." In 2010 Liu received the Nobel Peace Prize, but China did not let him travel to Oslo to receive it, nor did it allow him to send any friends or family to accept the award on his behalf. It was the first time since 1935 that no one was present to receive the Nobel Peace Prize; an empty chair was held in Liu's place at the ceremony. China also blocked transmission of the ceremony's broadcast on the BBC, CNN and other stations, as we reported at the time. Chinese authorities have also held Liu Xia, Xiaobo's wife, under house arrest since the 2010 award ceremony. China's acceptance of foreign medical expertise on Wednesday was seen by sources speaking with Reuters as possibly the government's first step toward allowing Liu to travel abroad to receive treatment, something his family and supporters have demanded. In a statement released Wednesday, Amnesty International called for China to release Liu. "Time is running out for Liu Xiaobo," said Salil Shetty, secretary general at Amnesty International. "It is not too late for the authorities to end this cruel farce. They must let Liu Xiaobo and his wife, Liu Xia, travel abroad to get the medical treatment he so desperately needs." © 2020 Connecticut Public Radio How To Listen On Your Smart Speaker

Spanking is not generally considered abuse in the United States, as long as it is age appropriate and does not cause the child serious injury. However, if the discipline is extreme and forceful enough to cause the child injury, then it will be considered physical abuse. Any type of sexual behavior that harms a child physically, emotionally or mentally. Excessive, aggressive, or unreasonable demands that place expectations on the child beyond their capacity.

< — Disagreement — > (1) TN: We are in Book 3! And we now have an update schedule! Kinda. Also my translations are being stolen… Jerome prepared a cup of afternoon tea as he did every day and went into the Duke's office. To avoid disturbing his master who was currently engrossed in his work, Jerome tried to drop the tea and leave but the desk was covered in documents and the person who was supposed to be there was nowhere to be seen. As this was more or less a regular thing these days, Jerome shifted his gaze in the direction he expected his master to go and as expected, the balcony window was slightly open. He went closer to take a look and he could see the back of a tall man, leaning against the handrail. These days, the duke would start work in the afternoon and then lazy around; something he had never done before. He would spend a long time standing in the balcony and looking down below. And below was the beautiful picture of Her Grace who had recently taken to diligently growing colorful flowers in the garden. Her Grace frequently went out to personally examine the flowers in the garden and his master would watch her. Jerome initially thought that his master's honeymoon phase would be briefly interesting but now he knew that it wasn't going to be like that. If there was a case where the prodigal son starts to change after he gets married and becomes a reliable person, then that was practically his master. This was why one had to live long in the world. Jerome wondered if his master knew that when he was with Her Grace, it was as if nothing else in the world was visible, his gaze was completely locked onto her. Surprisingly, Her Grace did not seem conscious of his master's intense and straight-forward gaze. It would seem that Her Grace was unexpectedly, insensitive. There was something delicate between the two of them. Obviously, their relationship was good. Her Grace would give his master a pure smile, and his frigid master would warm up when her Grace was around. Nonetheless, undeniably, there was somewhat of an invisible thin wall between them. It was too ambiguous to criticize and he couldn't speak out hastily on something so vague. It was a new routine to put a brief report on what Her Grace did or whom she met on his master's desk, so Jerome couldn't postpone his report anymore. Even more so because it was related to the health of Her Grace. Jerome hesitated a little then approached the balcony. "Your Grace." "Mmm." "I have something to tell you about Her Grace." At those words, Hugo turned his head. He stared at Jerome then walked past him and went inside the office. But even after waiting a while, he didn't hear Jerome speaking. Hugo could tell that Jerome was being hesitant. "What's so difficult? Talk." "…Her Grace has never had her monthly guest." (1). Lucia had a promise with Jerome that she would tell the Duke about her body condition together with Jerome. But as time passed, Lucia was still the same, keeping her mouth shut. Jerome considered that she had forgotten so he reminded her but Her Grace had only said that she understood and went back to being silent. Jerome knew that interfering in this could be exceeding his authority but it was also the task of the steward to take care of his master's health. Jerome worried several times if he should urge or even force Her Grace to personally tell his master but eventually he decided to tell his master personally. "Monthly guest?" "The thing that women go through every month…" "Ah. Continue." Hugo was familiar with the common knowledge of women's physiological parts but the rest was sleeping at the bottom of his mind. He had never been with a woman long enough for her to have her period. Moreover, he had never been worried about a woman getting pregnant so he really hadn't thought about it. "At first, a maid was concerned about whether Her Grace was pregnant or not, but then Her Grace was looked at by the primary doctor who said that she wasn't pregnant. According to Her Grace, she has never had a monthly guest. She also refused to be looked at by the doctor for treatment. Milady said it was something that Your Grace already knows about so there was no need for treatment." "She is not pregnant so is it something serious if she isn't menstruating?" "It is not normal, after all, it would be impossible for Her Grace to get pregnant. Her Grace has to have a medical examination for us to know for sure." "What does she mean that I already knew…" [I cannot have a child.] Hugo furrowed his brows. He gave a forced laugh. She had definitely said that. Originally, it was not something one could easily say but she had simply said that she couldn't have a child as if it was something trivial. She had also given a small laugh. To her, her inability to be pregnant was not a big deal because she couldn't have a child anyways. She had spoken like she was telling a big secret but he had simply thought it was interesting. "Right. I knew about it." His head ached like it had been hit with a blunt weapon. There was an uncomfortable twisting in his stomach and he felt an anger within him that he didn't know what for, couldn't explain it or even give a reason for it. "What is the doctor doing?" (Hugo) "It is not an external disease so if Her Grace doesn't speak about it, the doctor cannot diagnose it." (Jerome) "Call her now." "…Yes, your Grace." Jerome could see that his master's mood had soured so he immediately went away without saying a word. While standing still, Hugo suppressed his anger and clenched his fists tightly. He then tried to calmly think of where his displeasure was coming from. She was very much the ideal wife he wanted. She controlled the servants moderately well and did not give him any issues. He had nothing to complain about nor was he uncomfortable. Recently, she'd had a lot of requests but it was different from the bothersome requests he was expecting. "Ha, dammit." He gave a heavy sigh, cupped his head in his hands and sat on the sofa. This wasn't normal. He realized he still had no idea about what she was thinking. All he knew about his wife was what was written in the few reports Fabian gave him. Their relationship was good. As least he thought so. Their conversations were fun and in the bedroom, they were passionate. But they had never really talked. Had she ever exposed herself to him? He seemed to have misunderstood that she had exposed all of her heart to him since she smiled so purely. Something suddenly came to mind so he called for Jerome and ordered him to bring the details of her spending. Jerome soon returned with the documents. "What about the doctor?" (Hugo) "I sent someone to call her." (Jerome) "I'll be coming along for the examination." As Hugo flipped through the documents and checked the details, his eyes grew cold. Apart from the cost of decorating the garden and the cost of throwing a tea party a few times, there was no other history of personal use. "Has she ever called for a tailor or a jeweler?" (Hugo) "She has not." (Jerome) "Even though she has thrown tea parties and gone outside several times?" "There are dresses used by former Duchesses of the family and ornaments passed down in the Taran family. The dresses were chosen, mended and worn while the ornaments were returned to the storage room after use." Hugo knit his brow tightly. It was an inexplicable feeling. He was upset but he didn't know exactly why he was upset. 'Wasn't this what you wanted?' These words echoed in his head. He got married to what he hoped for. A doll-like wife that only kept her position as the Duchess. He needed the status and for that he needed to marry but duties of a husband were troublesome so, he made a deal. He made a contract. A contract beneficial to the both of them. From the start, she said that what she needed was the title of Duchess. Of course, he had thought that she wanted the wealth and power that came with being a Duchess. It hadn't been long since they were married but he knew now. From the beginning, she was not interested in his wealth and power. So, what exactly was making him so unhappy? Why should it matter if she didn't want his power or wealth? There was nothing for him to lose. Rather, he should toast to this overwhelmingly favorable contract. But he continued to agonize about it. He wanted to know exactly why he was in such a foul mood. His current feeling was as if the ground at his feet had collapsed. He felt desperate, he felt anxious. But he didn't know why he was desperate or anxious. As he was about to descend into his thoughts again, Jerome's voice could be heard. "The doctor is waiting." 1. So, there are two words that can be used for menstruation/period. The one here translates directly to monthly guest but it seems like a more formal way of saying it. ← Release Schedule Update carolkuro now yes they will start to really become a couple, he is seeing beyond what he expects of an ideal woman. It was exciting his anguish even he did not understand why Gotta love it when Hugo keeps blaming himself XD Ya know what, even I'm not sure what's he getting so anxious about. Heh silly man. You just wanna know more about her, but pity u cuz she's maintaining neutrality and firmly following the contract… Making him frenetic. He wants familiarity and intimate relationship now huh, which is completely unneeded/unnecessary as the contract only requires her to be titled duchess. Hohohohoho… Time to shot your own foot Hugh ( ̄. ̄) or digging your own grave (๏_๏)..because you're already jinks yourself with your additional contract… Thanks for the chapter… I'm glad there is fix schedule… kisa-chan I THINK… he's anxious bc she's not spending his money…. bc that's ALL he can offer to her… MONEY AND POWER (in his mind anyway, since Lucia just asks for minimal stuff like approval to go out with Kate)… which Lucia doesn't REALLY need… she's fine with hand-me-downs and reusing old jewelries, promptly returning the jewels after use.. Hugh gifted her a necklace after much thought but she doesn't wear it… he's frustrated bc he feels that he isn't pampering her enough… not giving her enough…. ALSO, it was part of the agreement that they keep their own personal space in some sort of way, not giving her heart, or tries not to anyway. And that she had to be infertile bc there's Damian as the heir. But now, he wants to KNOW all about her, he wants her to love him (but he f*cked himself up bc of their contract), he wants her to think anout him the way he does to her, and probably have a child as proof of that love and his obsession to her…. Sorry, that was long… but that's already the short version… i tried… You summarized it perfectly! I feel like they really have to sit down and talk about that contract. It is creating a barrier between them You've summarized it well! Thank you for your work. After life experiences and reading so many stories (especially stories where the best meanings are implied), these are the kinds of things we start perceiving intuitively. Funny how it takes 2 paragraphs to explain something we just 'get'. Poor Hugh, he can't read this cheat sheet you've written, he lacks practice in the emotions department, hahaha. Now we're really getting to the good parts. This is the dark part of the night before the dawn, they might make a deeper relationship after these issues. The contract is Verbal ^^ And divorce has to be on both sides I will quote Hugo here: "In the Taran family tradition, we don't believe in such things as divorce. If you wish to separate yourself from the Taran family, you will only be able to do it after death. No, you probably won't be able to even after your death." -Ch 4. It's totally because she drew the line in the sand. They're still not husband and wife in the most true form, but Hugh is coming closer Ebonita Thanks for the chap Eliana Latif Thanks for the chapter, translator! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ It must have been a hard work to translate it. *Pats on the back* Damn he's cute! Also who's stealing from you can you let us know so we can sla… I mean report 😇 them and get others to know and stop them also …. haven't done this be fore so how do we stop them and a link to the real site? And leav comments? Cause they could just delet them…… I honestly dunno how to stop them. I think it would be worse for me to link them here and give em more people lol. Thank you anyways! Did any of you remember in the chapter of how the ducal house made their brides eat that plant or not? I think that they are playing right into the old tradition by making the ride as 'pure' as can be. Yes.. But no one knows except Philip.. The doctor of Taran.. What Hugo knew: there must be women that prepared for continuing Taran bloodline..but he didn't want that, so he didn't know specifics What Lucia know: Mugwort can cleanse the bodies as well as stopping menstruation and if she want to have a child she has to get treatment from two mix medicinal plan from period of time that she knew from Philip in previous life What Philip know: Hugo have a wife, but he didn't know that the wife already meet the requirements to women that specifically for continuing Taran bloodline, because in this life time he didn't get to meet her.. He is anxious because Lucia is not dependent on him. She doesn't want anything from him, not anything materialistic at least so he is nervous because she is not "bound" to him by any needs. While he is getting obsessed with her, she is still normal to him. Maybe in his mind, she is too independent from him so if she was without him, she would still be Lucia. However if he was without her…. I believe Hugh would definitely be changed. Probably for the worse…. This relationship dynamic is unbalanced so it makes him nervous. He needs her but it doesn't seem like she needs him so it makes him feel a bit insecure and anxious. Jajajja interesante como se retuerce en sus pensamientos. Pobre hombre jaja Thanks for the chapter 😚😚 Will your translations be ok? Some sites been having trouble with people stealing their hard work. My translations are fine. It is saddening that they are hosting my translations and giving no credit but I think most people read here so I'm happy about that the heartache he felt (but don't understand) is how heartbroken and disappointed he felt when he realized Lucia didn't love him. "Had she ever exposed herself to him? He seemed to have misunderstood that she'd exposed all of her heart to him since she smiled so purely." Basically his thought flow throughtout the chap; 'She wasn't worried she can't get a child with me.'(since not worried about her period) 'She doesn't want a child with me.' *realizes she didn't tell him her personal matters* 'She doesnt open up to me.' *realizes she didnt spend anything with his money* 'She isn't depending on me.' 'She doesn't love me.' For a guy who was head over heels and initially thought that their love is budding(and mutual), that would be devastating. Poor Hugh. Even tho he did ask for it to be a contract, he's so into her that I can't help sympathizing. Go melt her heart, poor guy. Oh and the fact that he had to rely on Jerome's reports actually shoes how little Lucia opens up to him. That he HAD to have Jerome provides reports to know her (and that's his only source of understanding her). Instead of her telling him about things herself. Finally he starting to realize little by little..💕

Q: Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) in swift I'm familiar with using AsyncTask in Android: create a subclass, call execute on an instance of the subclass and onPostExecute is called on the UI thread or main thread. What's the equivalent in swift?? A: I think using NSOperationQueue is more elegant and simple. You create a queue: var queue = NSOperationQueue() And create task: let operation = NSBlockOperation { () -> Void in // Perform your task } After that, put your task in queue queue.addOperation(operation) That is. In case you want perform UI-related task, using this code block: NSOperationQueue.mainQueue().addOperationWithBlock { () -> Void in // UI related task } NSOperationQueue offers you the simple way to set dependency between tasks. For example, you have 4 task, op1, op2, op3, op4. And you want that op1 needs to be done before op2, then you can write like this: op2.addDependency(op1) Then op2 will be fired after op1 done. Since there is no dependency for op3 and op4, it could be done before/or after op2 A: This solves most of my async requirements in Swift: public func background(function: @escaping () -> Void) { DispatchQueue.global().async(execute: function) } public func main(function: @escaping () -> Void) { DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: function) } Then use like: background { // I'm in the background main { // I'm back on Main } } For example: background { [weak self] in let result = longOperationToFetchData() main { self?.data = result.data self?.reloadTableView() } }

Christion Abercrombie suffered a serious head injury late in the first half of Saturday's game at Vanderbilt. A GoFundMe page has been launched by Tennessee State to provide funds for the family of Christion Abercrombie, a Tigers football player who is hospitalized in critical condition after suffering a head injury in a game against Vanderbilt on Saturday. Members of Abercrombie's family have remained at Vanderbilt University Medical Center since Abercrombie underwent emergency surgery. The goal for the GoFundMe is $250,000. As of Thursday morning, a total of $45,439 had been raised. Abercrombie's medical expenses will be paid by insurance policies provided by TSU and the NCAA. Abercrombie is a sophomore middle linebacker from Atlanta. He transferred from Illinois after last season. Earlier Monday, two other GoFundeMe pages were launched by individuals — Fachon Reed, the sister of TSU coach Rod Reed, and Nashville resident Jake Waddell. Those accounts were taken down at TSU's request because of a potential violation of NCAA rules. The NCAA also told TSU any other crowd-funding attempts may put Abercrombie's eligibility in jeopardy.

For Writers & Illustrators A blog on race, diversity, education, and children's books. Raising Global Citizens: Jan Reynolds Author Study April 1, 2014 leeandlowbooks 4 Comments Today's world is smaller than ever, and as technology continues to advance it will only get smaller. Raising students for success means teaching them how to be global citizens, emphasizing cultural literacy and geoliteracy, and exposing them to people whose lives differ from theirs. For this, there's no better author than Jan Reynolds. Reynolds is a writer, photographer, and adventurer who has written over fourteen nonfiction books for children about her travels. Her work has appeared in numerous publications including National Geographic, The New York Times, and Outside Magazine. Reynolds is an avid skier, mountain climber, and adventurer who holds the record for women's high altitude skiing, was part of the first expedition to circumnavigate Mount Everest, and performed a solo crossing of the Himalayas.

Finding Doris Lehrian Posted on August 25, 2021 August 23, 2021 by Louise Quick by Nina Baker This is the story of how a working class girl from London's East End migrant community turned her talent for maths into a career as an expert in aerodynamics. It is also the story of how I found her story. So… I saw on Twitter that Herstory was planning a STEM theme for August and I offered to do a piece for them. I thought it might be of interest to follow the process of uncovering a story, which I started to research only when Herstory said that they would indeed like a piece, my 'process story' started 21st July 2021. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I will begin…. I have a particular interest in women who were scientific civil servants in aeronautic engineering. Many of these worked at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), Farnborough, but there was a lot of support science elsewhere such as at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Teddington. My starting point was to look through the 'Aerade' lists of authors of papers for the Aeronautical Research Council (ARC) and pick a woman who seemed to have a lot of publications. Handily, they had done some of the work for me and included a woman called Doris E. Lehrian in their 'Discover' menu. A screenshot of the AERADE search showing Doris E Lehrian So now I had a name but nothing else. First stop, of course, was a Google search, which yielded plenty of hits but all seemed to refer to many papers and reports, which of course sent me back to my starting point – Aerade – from which I could start to assemble a list of her work and download some to get a feel for what she was up to. Next stop was Google Scholar and WorldCat.org to check if she had also written papers that were not for the ARC but in journals etc. From those sources, eliminating a lot of overlaps and duplicates published on different dates, I ended up with some 26 publications, spanning the years 1948-73. I will come back to the topics of her work later. I still did not know anything about Doris the person. So, based on the useful information from the 1948 paper, I knew that by that year she had a BSc and was working at the Aerodynamics Division of the NPL. At this point I had to start guessing a bit: that this was her first paper as a relatively new graduate, which would suggest that perhaps she graduated in 1947 at the age of about 21 and therefore was born around 1926. These turned out to be not quite right but good enough to make a start on her genealogy in Ancestry. I do a family tree for any woman I am researching from scratch. Sometimes it produces wonderful information but other times the search peters out to nearly nothing. The Ancestry process requires some guesswork to make a start, e.g. as to probable dates, and (if you do not know a spouse or parent's name) that their father had the same name as theirs. Sometimes these are wrong of course, and cross-referencing different sources of information until you are sure that you have found the right person, can lead to the right information. So I started by assuming she was born in 1926 but it was actually 1923. A screenshot of Lehrian's family tree, on Ancestry.com From Ancestry I was able to establish that Doris Emily Lehrian was born in Poplar in London's East End in 1923, where her father, George Lehrian, was a woodworker. His father, Doris's grandfather, had come to the UK from Darmstadt in Germany, so we can surmise that the family were working class second generation immigrants. Doris seems to have been an only child but her father's sisters never married and lived with them at various times. Doris herself also never married and died in 2010. The many sources available via Ancestry include birth, marriage, death (sometimes also burial and probate records), the 1939 ID card register for England, electoral rolls, BT telephone books and census records up to 1911 (the 1921 census should be released soon). Most of her life Doris lived either with her family or with colleagues, in and around London. After her mother had died and after Doris retired she moved to Dorset for the rest of her life. The next stage was to try to fill in her education. For this, particularly when the person has a less usual surname, I generally turn to the British Newspapers Archive (BNA). Like Ancestry, this requires a paid subscription but as I use both so much it has been more than worthwhile for me to pay for these resources. Using the BNA can be an iterative process, requiring some creative thinking as to search terms, dates, locations etc. However, in Doris' case, her unusual surname was very helpful and I quickly found three articles mentioning her progress at school. She was fortunate to attend an unusually excellent girls' school for its time – the Coborn School – which was supported by the Coopers' livery company, and even had good science teaching – in itself unusual for that period. A Google search on Coborn School produced a short account by another girl of the evacuation of the school. The East London Observer, November 1942, relayed the usual annual report on pupils' successes at the evacuated Coborn School, now in Taunton. This included the news that "Doris Lehrian was awarded the Hatton prize for Mathematics at Queen Mary College," so now I knew where she had gone next. This was all still on 21st July, the day I started researching her, but this is the point at which I had to reach out for help. I emailed Coborn School – which is fortunately still thriving – and a week later their delightfully helpful archivist sent me a scan of Doris's school career from form IIIa (1934-5) to Upper VI (1940-41), although it is not clear if she joined the school before 1934. She was generally at or near the top of her year and became a prefect in 1939. Against her final results the head teacher noted that she should do well at university and that she had been awarded a "Gibson exhibition" (a scholarship). The next enquiry went to the archives at Queen Mary University (as the college became) and again about a week for that to come back – which isn't bad considering both the school and the university archivists were in their summer break and still not back to normal working after the Covid shut downs. The college produced her record card which included the only picture of Doris that I have so far found, and which is reproduced here with their kind agreement. A photo of Lehrian found from a record card, found in the Queen Mary University archives So, from 28 July I knew that Doris had attended Queen Margaret College (QMC) from 1941-43, did not attend in 1943-46 for reasons not given on the card, resumed in 1946-7 and graduated in 1947 with a BSc Special Honours Maths. She had had money to help with her costs from the London County Council Senior Exhibition, the Stepney & Bow Education Foundation and the Further Education Teaching Scholarship. In her second year she was awarded the Hatton mathematics prize. Her interests at the college included tennis and music – she was a 'prominent member' of the Music Society. The QMC was the obvious place for her to go as it was specifically set up to benefit the poor but bright children of the East End: "1934: East London College becomes Queen Mary College, named after Mary of Teck, wife of King George V. Sir Lynden Macassey, writes in the Times that Queen Mary, 'stands in striking refutation of all the early critics, who thought that university education was an unnecessary luxury for east London…Drawn as the students are from classes which have their own way to make in the world, they achieve exceptional results in their degree examinations'." Again, her education was affected by the war as QMC women were evacuated to Cambridge. This may perhaps explain why she was not at college from 1943-46 – perhaps it was a problem for her family to have her not living at home. Or perhaps she decided to do war work. This is a gap in the story that we may never fill. To return to the work that Doris went on to do in aerodynamics at the NPL: it was highly mathematical, which is no surprise given her degree in the subject. However, she got quite a low class of degree but clearly had considerable latent talent as her career shows. Initially she worked and published with V. M. Falkner on the pressures on swept-back wings. But from 1949 onwards she was often the sole author on reports on oscillation and flutter of wings, the effects of vortices on the behaviour of aircraft control surfaces (flaps, ailerons etc), with her work becoming increasingly theoretical. Diagrams and calculations from her 1967 report "Comparative Numerical Applications of theReverse-flow Theorem to Oscillating Wings and Control Surfaces" These are very tough topics intellectually, but vital for the safety of all kinds of aircraft. You may recall that the Concorde airliner had 'swept wings', and many military planes have delta wings. Having worked at NPL, Teddington for about 25 years, no more is heard of her work after 1973. I asked someone who themselves had worked in this field, but at RAE Farnborough, and they thought that a possible reason might have been: "About that time the NPL Aerodynamics Division was merged into Aerodynamics Dept, RAE, and many of the staff moved to join RAE at Bedford or Farnborough. I suspect that Doris chose not to transfer and remained in Teddington living with her mother. For a while, the remnants of NPL Aero became 'RAE Teddington' but this was soon closed down." Indeed Doris did continue to live with her mother Emiy, (her father died in 1962), in one of the modest terraced houses in Teddington Park Road, until her mother died in 1987, just short of her 100th birthday. The next record for Doris (Ancestry again) put her living in Sherborne, Dorset from 2003 onwards and finally she died in 2010. There are lots of gaps in what we now know about Doris' life and work, and although I put feelers out in various engineering and genealogical directions, it is probably unlikely that the gaps will be plugged unless someone reads this blog and knows another piece of the jigsaw puzzle. Dr Nina Baker has had a varied career, having become a Merchant Navy deck officer on leaving school and later taken an engineering design degree in her 30s, from the University of Warwick. She then gained a PhD in concrete durability from the University of Liverpool. She has lived with her family in Glasgow since 1989, working variously as a materials lecturer in further education and as a research administrator and, until 2017, as an elected city councillor. Now retired from all that, her interest in promoting STEM careers for girls has led her to become an independent scholar, specialising in the history of women in engineering. She is the volunteer historian for the Women's Engineering Society Posted in STEMTagged 20th Century History, aerodynamics, airforce, London history, RAF, STEM, women's historyLeave a comment ← Eileen Collins: The First Female Spaceflight Commander Herstory on Film →

This workshop IS THE MISSING LINK that will enhance and compliment any current training methods and classes that are being implemented. Workshop will begin promptly at 10:00 am. There will be plenty of time for breaks for the dogs and participants. Fruit, vegetable trays and water will be provided for lunch. A personalized workbook, name tags, along with a Certificate of Completion will be included in the class. Laura has taught these techniques and methods for years; however, this is the first time she is offering this information to the public. Participants and animals will be transformed during the process of the workshop. Real-time results can be measured and observed. This is a safe environment to learn and practice the various skills demonstrated throughout the workshop. It's a day of fun, interactive exercises and filled with surprises that the animals have for us. This class is a prerequisite for Level 2 and Level 3. Deadline for registration of workshop is August 16th, 2016.

Today we are thrilled to announce, alongside our friends at Google, a new project between Google and Puppet to make it easy to manage Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services with Puppet. To learn more, register for the webinar with me and Nelson Araujo from Google on 13 September 2017. The initial release includes five open source Puppet Approved modules for managing GCP services, using the Puppet DSL. All are available from the Puppet Forge. There is also one additional helper module that provides a single unified authentication mechanism for all modules that is available here, and will be a dependency for all the other published modules. We are looking forward to releasing more modules over the next several months. These modules are dynamically built using a code-generation tool developed by Google to generate Puppet types and providers from API specifications. The modules released today allow GCP users to integrate management of their cloud resources into the same infrastructure-as-code workflows and practices they use when managing applications deployed to these resources. Install the GCP modules from the Puppet Forge. Get a service account with privileges on the GCP resources you want to manage, and generate/download a Key ID. Ensure you have enabled the GCP APIs for the services you intend to use. All the new GCP modules are available on the Puppet Forge and GitHub, or you can also use the Google-provided meta module to install them all at once. Since we are getting started using "puppet apply," once all the system prerequisites are installed you won't need administrative privileges. There are two Ruby gems that the modules need to function, "googleauth" and "google-api-client." These can be easily installed into your Puppet installation using the "puppet resource" command which provides a CLI-driven interface to leveraging Puppet. To enable a high level of flexibility and portability, and to remove the need to store your personal credentials somewhere, all the authentication and authorization to GCP services can be done through service account credentials. A service account comes with the ability to enable only the minimal number of permissions required to get the appropriate amount of work done, thereby limiting the risk associated with unauthorized action. Go here to learn more about service accounts, and how to create and enable them. Then look at how to assign the appropriate roles to the account and create/download keys to be used for authentication to GCP by Puppet. Also make sure you have enabled the APIs for each of the GCP services you intend to use. All code examples from here on out are for the purpose of this getting started to be in the same init.pp file. This is the first required resource that you must define and it will directly leverage the service account you set up in the previous section. In this example I download the key file I created in the previous section to my home directory and renamed it "engine-only.json" just for my own personal reference because I assigned this service account permissions for only Google Compute Engine. The resource title is the more important part since that title will be referenced by further defined resources. Those resources will look up this resource and use the authentication information defined. In case you were wondering, you can define multiple of these with different names and credential pairs so that different resources or app teams can authenticate safely to appropriate projects and services. At this point all the prerequisites are out of the way so we can get to defining some actual GCP infrastructure. All of the available resources can be viewed here in aggregate. We'll go ahead and do something everyone is familiar with for the blog post today: launching a number of Ubuntu virtual machines upon some persistent disks. You can find the entire example in an easy-to-download Gist on GitHub. Before defining the actual virtual machines, make Puppet aware of the default VPC, region, and zone you want to operate in by defining a gcompute_network, gcompute_region, gcompute_machine_type, and gcompute_zone resources. Now five virtual machines are a quick and easy gcompute_disk and gcompute_instance resource plus a loop. The above two resources show the creation of ten 50GB disks in us-west1-c, derived from the Ubuntu LTS image, and then each disk is attached to a corresponding instance that is leveraging the default VPC for connectivity. If you wish to have your defined infrastructure continually enforced by Puppet you can also add this code to a production Puppet Enterprise installation and have an agent periodically or on demand validate that all named instance have been created. Now that you've given it a try, you're ready to dive head first into integrating the management and definition of your cloud resources into your organization's infrastructure-as-code practices. These modules are aimed squarely at reducing the friction associated with building fluid, portable infrastructure so that everyone can reap the rewards of migrating their applications to and across the cloud. We here at Puppet are looking forward to continuing to work with Google on this project and excited to see the continued progress as we march forward with broader GCP coverage. I personally am also looking forward to the imminent release of the technology Google developed that generates these modules from the GCP API specifications. If you have questions about this effort, please visit the Puppet on GCP Discussions forum. Register for the webinar on 13 September. Read Google's blog post about this announcement. Check out the GCP modules in the Forge. Read more about managing Google technology with Puppet.

'Lopezhouse have been quietly making impressive musical statements ever since they sauntered onto the global stage in 2015 with their Mude Tod debut EP for Claude Von Stroke's Dirtybird. Having released tracks on Solomun's Diynamic and John Digweed's Bedrock, Lopezhouse continue their relationship with Exploited. 'December Sun' is an epic dancefloor journey through space and time. 'San Pedro Feat. Angela' feels like the soundtrack to a Tarentino or David Lynch movie. Comes with a music video by Xavier Damase. Plus featuring a remix by Zombies in Miami from the Correspondant Crew. Droog/Culprit: Love December Sun. It's the standout for me. Zombies In Miami Remix works too. Peter Kruder: December Sun is great. Will play that. Massimiliano Pagliara: Nice tunes. ZIM Remix is my fave!

On his fourth stop of the "Damn Tour" stopping off in Atlanta with D.R.A.M kicking off the show followed by Travis Scott who would have thought the crowd could possibly have any energy left by the time Kung Fu Kenny came to the stage? As you see in the above video the crowd had a lot left in the tank. The west coast Compton born rapper represented as expected leaving the crowd in a frenzy. We may have to fly to another city to catch Kendrick once more before his summer tour is over….

I did a mistake with the name of the character in the italian version, so I had to do it. It won't happen anymore XD Franky7 Serena's Pancham I'll admit it was badly written, but how is it speculation? It has been stated by Nini and displayed by Smoochum herself that she has a crush on Pancham, who doesn't reciprocate. It has also been shown that Pancham does at least act friendly to her too in XY091 after winning the theme performance.-- --Handmaiden 101 (tAlk) 19:59, 7 November 2015 (UTC) You used the terms "it seems" and "may be" in your phrase. I've not seen the episodes so I don't actually know what really happend between Pancham and Smoochum, I based myself only on what you wrote and, for me, it seemed to be speculation. Sorry if I'm wrong.--Franky7 (talk) 16:25, 8 November 2015 (UTC) No problem, I should have worded it out properly.-- --Handmaiden 101 (tAlk) 20:26, 8 November 2015 (UTC) Hello. I just wanted to let you know that other fansites, such as Serebii, are not considered a valid source. Information should only be added from the games, shows, or official sites affiliated with them. Thanks. Crystal Talian 15:44, 6 August 2016 (UTC) Hi! I can disagree with you about the Serebii's validity (they always report only true news and articles, Merrick is a serious person) but, as you can see here, it reports the name's of new episodes from TV-kun magazine. If a magazine of a tv cast program is not a valid source..--Franky7 (talk) 15:50, 6 August 2016 (UTC) You're welcome to disagree. However, fansites (including Serebii) have been wrong in the past and are not an acceptable source. Anything copied from a fansite or stating a fansite as a source will be promptly removed. The magazine itself is an acceptable source, but it's preferable that the user adding such information actually have access to the magazine itself. Thank you. Crystal Talian 16:50, 6 August 2016 (UTC) As you wish ;)--Franky7 (talk) 16:56, 6 August 2016 (UTC) So I was right, uh? XD--Franky7 (talk) 12:10, 7 August 2016 (UTC) "Not standard"... Not standard for what? I never knew there was a standard for writing biographies. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 20:46, 8 August 2018 (UTC) If you take a look at other voice actors' pages, you can see that no-one contains phrases like "dozen of episodes". It's too generic, bad written and useless, better write (next to voiced character's name) the episodes between it was voiced [like Janet (AG010-AG035), for example]. Or, again, you can say "He voiced [the character] between 2014 and 2017".--Franky7 (talk) 15:01, 11 August 2018 (UTC) Just because it wasn't written on other voice actor articles doesn't mean it should not be written at all. And how exactly is it generic and badly written? I can't just clarify the exact episodes Jo Armeniox, for example, voiced Shauna; that's for characters who had more than one voice actor. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 19:20, 11 August 2018 (UTC) How can be "a dozen of episodes" encyclopedic? You have to write properly, the more specific way you can; could you find in other pages things like "he voiced the character for hundreds of episodes"? Surely not. If you cannot clarify the number of episodes, just not write anything.--Franky7 (talk) 12:19, 12 August 2018 (UTC) Iris's Emolga I'm not sure what you're talking about with Excadrill. The trivia is pointing out that Emolga isn't weak to one of its types. Excadrill, as a Steel/Ground, is weak to the Ground type, making the trivia valid.--Rahl (talk) 21:49, 9 November 2018 (UTC) So sorry, I've read "Is weak to one of her types" and not Isn't. My mistake :(--Franky7 (talk) 16:38, 10 November 2018 (UTC) Pokémon Lover's Club edit It has been decided by an admin to add this trivia. Please see : User_talk:Force_Fire#Conflict editing. Jeangabin666 (talk) 15:15, 18 May 2020 (UTC) I saw, to me is still useless and not notable, but that's it.--Franky7 (talk) 08:44, 19 May 2020 (UTC) James's Cacnea Hi, wanted to ask you about edit you made in James's Cacnea article. Was there something wrong with my link template? If so, I'm eager to learn. Do you think sentence "James's Cacnea is the only one of its Pokémon to have appeared in the anime." is... "okay"? Itan (talk) 10:57, 29 January 2021 (UTC) Hi and sorry for the delay! Nothing wrong, don't worry, I've just fixed the template, it's lighter for the servers than a direct link. The phrase itself is correct (up to my memory ahah) =)--Franky7 (talk) 16:59, 31 January 2021 (UTC) Well, you just changed the whole sense of sentence. It was about species, while your edit... I just don't seem to understand how that can be interpreted. It was fixed later by other person, with the same (your) template but spelling "species" (instead of "Pokemon") as it was in my version. Anyway, thanks for the answer about template. Itan (talk) 18:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC) Oh sorry, didn't see I missed one world, I intended to do as the later fix XD I answered you without checking out what I did and I was sure to have done it properly. I wanted to do it as it's now. Forgive me again!--Franky7 (talk) 10:11, 1 February 2021 (UTC) Yosaku and Sylvester I think that their pages should include quotes from their video game counterparts, like Damian. Maybe even info on their game counterparts, like on Harper and Sarah. N. Harmonik (talk) 13:36, 10 September 2021 (UTC) They are based on tc character, not on a specific one.--Franky7 (talk) 16:00, 12 September 2021 (UTC) What is a TC character? N. Harmonik (talk) 22:08, 12 September 2021 (UTC) Trainer Class.--Franky7 (talk) 08:31, 15 September 2021 (UTC) What are you typing about? Charcoal makers aren't a trainer class. How many other charcoal makers are there? N. Harmonik (talk) 18:43, 15 September 2021 (UTC) You got a point. I didn't mean the tc, but they're based on, not the same. Ask an admin.--Franky7 (talk) 07:53, 16 September 2021 (UTC) Raboot and Flygon Vs Zapdos Hi, it's a combination of moves between the two yes, Raboot uses Draco Meteor to gain altitude while Zapdos gets distracted with a move and then Raboot uses Blaze Kick. In pair battles, the two Pokémon are listed in the section and Raboot only beat Zapdos because of this Flygon move. If you doubt it, you can look at the Pokémon sections of the anime Coordinators, such as Dawn(Dawn's Pachirisu and Dawn's Mamoswine) and May(May's Blaziken and May's Beautifly).--Hikaru Wazana (talk) 14:04, 27 October 2021 (UTC) Ok, forgot that episode. But you have to say it's against Zapdos, during Flygon's capture it's not a combination.--Franky7 (talk) 09:31, 3 November 2021 (UTC) Retrieved from "https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Franky7&oldid=3417608" Last edited on 3 November 2021, at 09:31 Content is available under Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5.

Here is a department that has been working untiringly towards helping the Subabharthi students out a difference in the corporate world. Our college provides a friendly and challenging environment that helps and guides the students to meet out the demands in the competitive world outside. There are two ways of spreading light: 0ne, be the candle and the other, a mirror that reflects it. The department of training and placement serves as a mirror that reflects the dreams and goals of the institution. It offers various training programmes for the students and grooms them furthermore to sharpen their intellectual abilities. Instead of awaiting opportunities, they learn to chase and grab opportunities to realize their dreams. It also inculcates discipline and moral values in the students which help them to become better individuals.

Sept. 23 marks the 25th anniversary of Alkek Library. Students can look forward to a series of events hosted by the university this semester in celebration of Albert B. Alkek Library's 25th anniversary, as well as renovations for the future. Alkek staff will kick off the event-filled semester with the Book Pass Reenactment on Sept. 23 at 10 a.m. in the Quad. The event is intended to recreate the symbolic move that occurred on Alkek's completion day when the library was moved from the JC Kellam building to the newly completed library in its current location, said Joan Heath, university librarian. During the original book pass event in 1990, a human chain was formed from the third floor of the JC Kellam building to the top steps of the newly completed Alkek library, according to university archives. Four books were passed along the human chain that began with Jerome H. Supple, former president of the university, Heath said. She said the book passing signified giving a new home to the university's library collection. This year's book passing reenactment will begin at the plaza in front of Old Main, where President Trauth will begin the event and commemorate its significance, Heath said. Heath said the celebration of Alkek's 25 years of existence is a milestone for the campus and the library as a whole. "What's most important about the celebration of Alkek is it presents a good opportunity to focus on the library and how central it is to the campus community," Heath said. JC Kellam building. These shifts continued from 1903 on, until the collection found a permanent home following Alkek's 1990 completion. University officials decided to construct a building solely dedicated to serving as a library after the collection maxed out the allotted space in JCK, Heath said. John Martinez, library facilities assistant, said he was shocked by the enormity of Alkek. Heath said that 25 years later, Alkek is now running into the same issue the JCK location encountered: not enough space. Starting this month, Alkek will be subject to renovations that will take several years to complete, Heath said. The renovation will happen in phases that begin with the first floor and proceed upwards from there. Heath says more space will be created through an infrastructure update. Heath said the renovation plan includes an increase in space where students can collaborate for group projects, as well as individual study rooms. Heath said the university will build a storage space at STAR Park to hold less-used materials rather than adding more floors to Alkek. Heath said university officials have worked to keep the library updated as Texas State shifts focus to becoming a research university. When Alkek first opened its doors, the library only had 12 PCs to offer, according to university archives. Today there are more than 80 computers on the main floor alone. Despite all of the changes in Alkek over the past 25 years, the library's mission has stayed the same, Heath said. Melissa Bonano, student worker and biochemistry sophomore, said the silent floor of Alkek is her favorite part of the building because it gives students the chance to study and focus without any distractions. Heath said as a testament to Alkek's centrality on campus, people should know that the library had 11,980 people walk through its doors on the first class day of the semester.

Amid ranting and raving Opposition members, Prime Minister Narendra Modi succeeded in winning back the trust of his party members, and of course, of some of his allies during the discussion on the no-trust motion in Parliament. Though he could shut the mouth of his opponents with his two-hour usual sarcastic rhetoric, but, in reality, he's all hat and no cattle. He couldn't riposte and refute any of the charges made by the Opposition against his government, especially about the political brinkmanship. On the contrary, though the outcome was predictable, the Opposition successfully put the failures of the BJP government before the nation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government faced a vote of no-confidence in the Lok Sabha, the first in 15 years. The last time a vote of no-confidence held was during prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's tenure in 2003. After a raging 12-hour debate, the NDA government defeated the no-confidence motion by 199 votes. While 126 members supported the motion, 325 MPs rejected it. A total of 451 MPs were present and voted in the House and the majority mark required in a House with an effective strength of 534 MPs came down to 226. The day-long session in the Lower House saw the government and the Opposition trade charges and a moment of drama when Congress president Rahul Gandhi, after a blistering speech, hugged the Prime Minister that put him hot and bothered. The TDP, which is scheduled to face an Assembly election along with the Lok Sabha polls early next year, used the no-confidence motion to take to the people the party's demand for special category status for Andhra Pradesh. The party mounted a strong attack on the ruling BJP on the one hand, and disrupting the speech of Prime Minister Modi through sloganeering on the other. In a never-before move Rahul Gandhi had crossed the Lok Sabha floor at the end of the scathing speech, and hugged the Prime Minister. Late in the evening, PM Modi gave a point-by-point rebuttal to the attack. He also took on Gandhi's mother Sonia Gandhi and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, whose party had moved the no-confidence motion. The strength of the House slid after Naveen Patnaik's BJD, Telangana's ruling party TRS and BJP ally Shiv Sena skipped the voting. Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK voted in support of the government. The no-confidence motion debate outlined the broad battle lines of the 2019 general elections. While Congress president Rahul Gandhi unveiled his narrative for the Opposition parties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the tone and tenor of the likely BJP electoral pitch. In his response to the debate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi showcased the achievements of his government -- electrification of 18,000 villages, healthcare for all, LPG for the poor, initiatives for farmers, One-rank one pension for soldiers, the flagship Goods and Services tax and the strengthening of economy. During the debate, Modi said since taking office in May 2014 his government had made great strides against corruption. "We started a war against black money and this war is not going to stop," he told parliament. Authorities have ordered nearly 250,000 shell companies to be shut down and another 200,000-250,000 are on their radar, Modi said, blaming the previous Congress government of shielding corrupt people. Targeting Sonia Gandhi over her recent statement on numerical strength of the parties supporting the no-confidence motion, PM Modi said he was reminded of 1999, when she joined other parties to challenge the NDA government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee. "She stood outside Rashtrapati Bhavan and said, 'We have 272 and more are joining us'. She destabilised Atal-Ji's government and never formed one herself," he said. Taking on Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on Rafale, PM Modi said, "They raised Rafale issue and I was surprised... Due to one careless allegation in the House on Rafale, both nations had to release statements. Does this childish behaviour befit anybody?" Modi said he told Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu that he moved the no-confidence motion "just because of your internal politics with the YSR Congress Party". Earlier, terming the no-trust vote against his government a result of the Opposition's "arrogance", Modi called on all parties to dismiss the move and accused the Congress of working with the mindset of 'Modi hatao'. "Only the electorate of the country can decide his fate and make him sit on his chair," Modi said, before asking sarcastically, "What is the hurry?" Gandhi was present in the House when the Prime Minister made the statement. Congress has no faith in the election commission, the judiciary, in the RBI or in the international agencies. They have confidence in nothing, Modi said. "You called the surgical strike a Jumla Strike. You can abuse me as much as you want. Stop insulting the Jawans of India. I will not tolerate this insult to our armed forces," Modi said in his address. Mentioning the popularity of phone banking before net-banking, Modi took a dig at the Congress and the party's bias. He said before net banking was popular, there was 'phone banking' invented by the Congress. One phone call and those favoured by the Congress got loans. This created the NPA problem, which his Government is solving, he added. Speaking ahead of the Prime Minister, the Congress president refrained from referring to 'secularism', invoking instead the theme of protecting 'Ambedkar's Constitution' as the main narrative to indicate his broad theme for the 2019 campaign. Gandhi, leading the Congress offensive, alleged that the government's deal with France for 36 Rafale fighter jets was massively overpriced and its claim that details could not be revealed was an "untruth". He said when PM Modi went to France, "with some magic" powers, the price per plane increased to Rs 1,600 crore, much more than Rs 520 crore when the Congress was in power. Gandhi had alleged that the defence minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, had lied to the nation claiming that India was bound by a secrecy clause in the Rafale fighter jet deal signed with France. He said that French President Emmanuel Macron told him there is no secrecy pact between India and France. But the French government countered his claim with an official statement confirming that a secrecy pact exists between the two countries. In her reply, Sitharaman also contradicted Rahul and cited Article 10 of the Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) between the two countries on the purchase of Rafale aircraft, which calls for the protection of classified information and materials exchanged under the pact. Singling out the BJP leadership of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, Rahul said they fear losing power because they know that "other processes will start against them" as soon as they are out of office. Leading the Opposition assault, Gandhi accused the Prime Minister of unleashing "jumla strikes" on the people, and of becoming a "bhagidar" (partner) in the Rafale fighter deal instead of acting as the "chowkidar" (watchman) he had promised the country during the 2014 election campaign. Sinha had last week expressed his "regret" after facing intense criticism for felicitating seven convicted cow vigilantes in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh last week. Rahul Gandhi said, "Everybody understands the relationship the prime minister has with certain people. Everybody understands the amount of money that goes into the marketing of the prime minister and everybody knows who have funded that. One of those people was given the Rafale contract. The gentleman benefitted to the tune of Rs 45,000 crore," Rahul alleged. Uproar was created in the House as Rahul targeted PM Modi and defence minister Sitharaman over the Rafale deal. "The defence minister said there is secrecy pact with France on Rafale deal. I personally met PM of France and asked him if any such pact existed. He clearly said there is no pact," Gandhi said. The Congress leader said the government's five slabs of GST destroyed crores of lives. PM Modi doesn't talk to shopkeepers. He only meets the big 10-20 businessmen of this country. India's youth believed in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The PM had said he will provide employment to two-crore people every year and yet only 4 lakh people got jobs. This is the truth of their unfulfilled promises... They tell you to make 'pakodas' instead, Gandhi said in a scathing attack on the Modi government. The Congress president also hits out at BJP over demonetisation. In his reply, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said his government has already asked states to take stringent action and make strict laws against incidents of lynching and vigilantism. "The biggest incident of mob lynching happened during 1984... And a big leader (a reference to Rajiv Gandhi) said when a big tree falls, the earth shakes. And they (Congress) are trying to give us lessons on mob lynching," he said. At a time when BJP governments in different states have faced criticism of failing to check attacks on people from Dalit communities, Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan, the chief of NDA ally Lok Janshakti Party, took on leaders of both the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and alleged that both parties are against the interests of Dalits. The BJP is losing by-elections and they lost even in Karnataka. The Prime Minister has become a travelling statesman. He went to Bengal for a meeting for no reason: Saugata Roy of the Trinamool Congress said in Parliament, referring to PM Modi's recent rally in Midnapore. "The PM is spending Rs 1,800 crore for globe-trotting and our poor farmers are committing suicide," Roy said. Barely five minutes or so into Prime Minister Modi's speech during the no-confidence motion debate, members of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), one of whom had moved the motion, came down to the Well of the House. Modi continued his speech, he also said that unlike in Andhra Pradesh, the TRS in Telangana acted with "maturity" and started "working towards development". At this, the TDP leaders returned to the Well with their slogans.

By Pat Stack A Christmas Tory The ghosts of Xmas past are haunting Pat Stack. The snow was falling on the ground. It lay all virgin and white. John looked at Norma's back, turned towards him in a hostile manner, colder than the ice forming on the windowpane. Where had it all gone wrong? What of those wonderful past Christmases, quietly sipping eggnog wrapped in Edwina's arms, he wearing only his big underpants, she wearing only a smile? Ah, how bright things had seemed back then. He was a rising star enjoying pet status under Maggie's firm leadership. That was, of course, before she went completely insane. Although it is easy with the benefit of hindsight to see that the marbles were already beginning to roll freely around the old girl's brain. Back then it seemed she was leading a project that would last forever. Two Christmases later and she was gone, the 'funny old world' had caught up with her, and thanks to a helpful spot of root canal he had emerged untainted by the treasonous plot to remove her. He was the proud prime minister, leader of the party he loved, a party that would surely rule for decades. Labour would soon chose the closet Bolshevik, Blair, as their leader. No way would he ever be PM. That first Christmas was tinged only with the sad knowledge that rising to the top had meant sacrificing Edwina. Small price to pay, however, compared to the new-found 'importance of being John'. Why, he'd even been invited to a Christmas party at Buckingham Palace, where only the most select of guests had been in attendance. Truly he'd made it if he was on the same guest list as Elton John, Billy Connolly and Michael Barrymore. How could he ever forget the fun of it all? He had witnessed the much misunderstood Princess Margaret and the much loved Queen Mother playing what they told him was 'the obsequious game'. Whenever anyone was obsequious to either of them they had to down a litre of champagne. As Norman St John Stevas and Trevor Macdonald were there, the royal pair were blotto within 20 minutes. If anyone failed to grovel sufficiently a servant was brought out and nailed to the wall. What fun! Princess Di was there being cuddled by a rather dashing young soldier, and fawned upon by a perfectly charming butler, who in turn was being fawned upon by Barrymore. However, the drink clearly got to her, and by the end of the night she was trying to impale herself on a corkscrew, while snarling at the perfectly charming Parker-Bowles woman. The Queen, after enquiring who he was, had actually said hello. Ah, surely life didn't get any better. It was this family and nights like these that made Britain great. Now, though, the family stood discredited. Firstly Charles and Di had split spectacularly, then she had died and it seemed the whole country had turned on the royals. His heart had been uplifted by their apparent recovery, the widescale mourning for the dear QM, the surprising success of the Jubilee. Yet now it had all gone pear-shaped again. That nice butler chap wouldn't do his duty and go to jail quietly. Instead he'd opened a can of the smelliest worms. Even worse for John, his tenure as PM had been marked by treachery and sleaze. The treachery of the bastards–Hague, Portillo, Lamont, and that bald quiet chap whose name escaped him, all plotting to bring him down. Then the sleaze merchants–Hamilton, Aitken, even as it subsequently turned out his good friend Jeffrey, all willing to prostitute the party he loved for a few filthy coins (well, notes actually). Not to mention the adulterers, bonkers, shaggers and buggerers, all sex mad, unable to control their libidos in the interest of the nation. Of course his affair with Edwina had been different–it was warm and squishy, and not sordid like theirs. Finally, he had to endure the worst ever election defeat of any Tory leader, and to that smarmy Blair of all people. As it turned out Blair wasn't a closet Bolshevik at all, rather a secret Tory with a clever eye for career advancement. How it had hurt him to watch the party he hated carry out the policies he loved, while the party he loved seemed to have no policies at all, except to elect bald men. First the arrogant halfwit Hague, and now this other strange man IVF (or whatever they called him), had led the party to the brink of extinction. 'Oh Edwina,' he thought, 'did I really give you up for this?' Worse still, Blair was now enjoying his own two favourite hobbies–eroding civil liberties, and kissing US presidents' bottoms as they went around killing people. How could it be that that awful man with the blind dog was locking up the spy Shayler, making foreigners learn English, and insisting that the first born male in every family be made to learn the art of boxing? These were his sort of things, Maggie's sort of things. He had hated watching Blair and Clinton, and was delighted when Bush was (sort of) elected. Surely Blair's phoney conservatism would break now? Surely he couldn't be anything but repulsed by Bush? Alas no, Blair had managed to grow so close to Bush that it was a wonder Häagen Dazs didn't do an ad featuring the pair. Truly this was depressing. There would surely be war, but he would get no glory or praise–his opinion wouldn't even be asked. Sadly he looked one last time at the present he'd found in his Christmas stocking, that self help book Norma had given him: 'How to Manage in Late Middle Age When Your Wife Leaves You'. Ah, even the Christmas stocking was mocking him. The politics of Tony Benn City academies: Barriers to learning The hero of New Orleans European Social Forum: A Forum for the Future

The trustees represent the six districts within the village and are elected to four-year terms by the voters in each of their respective districts. The current village president of Oak Lawn is Dr. Sandra Bury, who was elected in April 2013 as the leader of a group of trustees known as "Oak Lawn First", who defeated incumbent Mayor Dave Heilmann and his slate of candidates. Almost all of Oak Lawn is in Illinois's 3rd congressional district, with a very small segment in Illinois's 1st congressional district. Early Oak Lawn In August 1835, James B. Campbell purchased the land stretching between Cicero Avenue and Central Avenue from 95th Street to 103rd Street. It is unclear what Campbell's intentions with the area were, but by 1840, he had lost a court battle with the Illinois State Bank and his land was sold in a public auction. John Simpson, a prominent figure in early Oak Lawn history, bought the northern half of the property in 1842. By 1859, the recently incorporated government of Worth Township paid for the construction of Black Oak Grove Road, an early name for 95th Street. Black Oak Grove is also the earliest known name of the area that would become Oak Lawn. It was later shortened to Black Oak or Black Oaks, but in 1882, the post office, train depot and surrounding community became known simply as Oak Lawn. Over the next two decades, the area grew in population as more homes were built and local business sprang into being.[10] Birth of Oak Lawn In 1909, Oak Lawn was incorporated as a village. The following years, there were major improvements to local infrastructure and government services, such as the introduction of the police magistrate and village marshal, along with the building of a village hall and jailhouse.[11] Electric lights were brought to 95th Street in 1911, the volunteer fire department began in 1923, Oak Lawn's first bank opened in 1925, and the Community High School District 218 was formed. The population had grown to 2,045 by 1930, and civic improvements were steadily made over the next decade.[12] In 1934, a collection of one hundred books was the beginning of the Oak Lawn Public Library. By 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Works Progress Administration as part of the New Deal, which supported a variety of public works, including libraries. With the help of a WPA grant, the new library opened its doors in 1936.[13] Oak Lawn comes of age After World War II, with veterans returning home and taking advantage of the G.I. Bill, Oak Lawn experienced a major population boom. Beginning in 1949, Oak Lawn Round-Up Days became an annual event and helped to promote the village. It started with 25,000 people, and the Western-themed celebration brought in over 100,000 attendees in 1952. In this year, Jack Brickhouse was master of ceremonies, and the parade was televised on WGN-TV. By 1957, Round-Up Days had become too large, and the next year a final scaled-down version was held.[14] In the 1950s, a village managerial government began, and a new library and fire station were constructed. By 1960, there were nearly 20,000 residents in Oak Lawn. On April 21, 1967, a tornado touched down in Oak Lawn that is recorded as one of the worst to strike an urban area. Roughly 900 buildings were damaged or destroyed, and over 30 people were killed. The town was rebuilt in the coming years, and witnessed further population growth, peaking at 63,500 between 1973 and 1976.[10] However, there was a decrease in residents in the 1980s, and an aging population led to the closure of several schools during this time. In response, the village began a process of redevelopment to counteract the decrease. This redevelopment has focused primarily on businesses and structures in the core area of Oak Lawn, around 95th Street between Cicero Avenue and Central Avenue. 1967 tornado Main article: 1967 Oak Lawn tornado outbreak On April 21, 1967, an F4 tornado touched down at 105th Street and Kean Avenue in Palos Hills, 5 miles (8 km) west of Oak Lawn. There were no deaths in Palos Hills, although a number of homes were destroyed and two transmission towers collapsed. After rising from the ground, the tornado touched down again at the Starlite Drive-In Theater at 6400 West 95th Street. With winds estimated to be over 200 miles per hour (320 km/h), the tornado tore through Oak Lawn, tossing cars and buses in the air. After cutting Oak Lawn Community High School in half, it moved past St. Gerald's to 91st Street and Cicero Avenue, heavily damaging the Airway Trailer Park and the Oak Lawn Roller Rink before rising from ground level. It touched down again in nearby Hometown, Evergreen Park, and Chicago before dissipating over Lake Michigan. In just 16 minutes, the storm left a 16-mile (26 km) path of destruction and over 30 people dead.[15] Healthcare, education, and churches Oak Lawn is known for its community hospital, which serves the residents of Chicago and its suburbs. Christ Community Hospital (now known as Advocate Christ Medical Center) was built in Oak Lawn in 1960 and has expanded with the development of Hope Children's Hospital, along with becoming a part of Advocate Health Care. Christ Hospital also has a state-of-the-art Level 1 trauma center, providing trauma patients with advanced emergency medical care. The emergency department treats more patients than any other hospital in Illinois. Oak Lawn has public education schooling children from K–5 in its many elementary schools, including Kolb, Lieb, Harnew, Columbus Manor, Covington, Hannum, Hometown, Kolmar, and Sward. Oak Lawn has two public middle schools: Simmons Middle School, and Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School, which replaced Douglas A. McGugan Junior High School in 2005 (now leased to South Side Baptist Church and School[16] and Christ Hospital's EMS training program). There are two public high schools, Oak Lawn Community High School and Harold L. Richards High School; they enroll students mostly from Oak Lawn, Hometown, Bridgeview, Chicago Ridge, Calumet Park, and Robbins. Catholic grammar schools include St. Louis de Montfort, St. Germaine, St. Catherine, St. Linus, and St. Gerald. There is also a Christian school at 101st Street and Central Avenue named Southwest Chicago Christian School. Churches in Oak Lawn include Calvin Christian Reformed Church, First Christian Reformed Church of Oak Lawn, First United Methodist Church of Oak Lawn, South Side Baptist Church, Pilgrim Faith United Church of Christ, Salem United Church of Christ, St. Catherine of Alexandria, St. Germaine, St. Linus, St. Louis de Montfort, The Family of St. Gerald, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, and Wesleyan Community Church. Newspapers that serve Oak Lawn include The Reporter, a hyperlocal weekly, and the SouthtownStar, a daily owned by the same group that publishes the Chicago Tribune. On December 8th, 2019, Juice WRLD was in the airport until he had a seizure, he was rushed to the nearest hospital where he was pronounced dead around 3 a.m. Park system Oak Lawn maintains an expansive park system.[17] From small corner play lots to the 38-acre (150,000 m2) Centennial Park, there are over 300 acres (1.2 km2) of parks, recreational facilities and open land. These include playgrounds, walking paths, baseball fields, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, plus outdoor swimming pools, an indoor ice arena, two fitness centers, and an 18-hole golf course. Each area in Oak Lawn has its own recreational area, totaling 22 parks. The 18-hole Stony Creek Golf Course features 5,004 yards (4,576 m) of golf from the longest tees for a par of 65. Designed by Carl Getz, the golf course opened in 1982. The facility features include a miniature-golf course, banquet facilities, pro shop, bocce courts, horseshoe pits, PGA instruction, and a 44-station driving range. Starting in 2002, downtown Oak Lawn (95th Street between Tulley Avenue and 55th Court) became the target of a massive redevelopment program; properties on the north and south sides of 95th Street were demolished. Eventually, several square blocks were leveled, making room for several multistory, high-end condominium complexes with retail space on the main floors. Part of the project was the expansion of the Metra commuter train station that houses a retail/office center and a new children's museum.[18] This complex also includes a multistory parking garage. Downtown Oak Lawn as seen today bears little resemblance to the downtown from 2002. It now features modern high-rise buildings, new shopping areas, a large contemporary Metra train station,[19] and several new retail and service facilities. Oak Lawn stop sign program In mid-2007, Oak Lawn began hanging additional messages to city stop signs in an attempt to have drivers obey the signs. The signs were the idea of the city President, and local residents are encouraged to submit their own ideas. Found throughout the village, the signs garnered attention with the press.[20] The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and IDOT voiced their concerns about the use of these nonconforming stop signs, and as such the village removed them in April 2008.[21] Initially, the mayor refused to remove the signs, but IDOT threatened to withhold millions of dollars in funding for infrastructure.

Picture: Contributed by Lucy Gray Paul Gray, 43, from Beccles, who was a passionate motorcyclist, died on April 19 at Beccles Hospital following a short battle with cancer. His family and friends buried him at St Benets Catholic Church on May 14 - which would have been his 44th birthday. On the day, a motorbike funeral escort roared through Beccles town centre as the community came together to remember the "strong, beautiful and brave" father. At his wake, a collection was held in his memory for the Friends of Beccles Hospital to purchase a memorial bench. Cake Sale in Exchange Square pictured Unique and China Gray.

Since then, the 32-year-old and their daughters, Unique, 15, and China who is aged 11, have been working hard to raise funds for the hospital to purchase another fold up relative's bed. "They currently only have one so another bed will enable more relatives to stay overnight," she said. Memorial bench at Beccles Hospital. Picture: Contributed by Lucy Gray "I know how important it was to myself and Paul's mum that we were able to stay overnight and spend every last minute we could with him, so another fold up bed will mean even more relatives can stay with sick family members at Beccles Hospital while being comfortable. "Myself and our two daughters have held several fundraising events to raise money for the Friends of Beccles Hospital to purchase another relative bed in memory of Paul. "We held a cake sale in Exchange Square in August raising £105.50. We also held a sponsored walk from Beccles to Oulton Broad in September raising £375. "We are planning more fundraising events next year for The Friends of Beccles Hospital including a sky dive, car boot sale and more cake sales. "I am super proud of my daughters for the strength they have shown since Paul passed away. They are beautiful, strong and brave just like their daddy."

.) Needless to say (unless, of course, this is your first time on ma' 'blog [in which case: Hi! You should know I can't get enough silent film. Wait. Where are you going...?]) I could hardly be more psyched to sit in on this process, much less act a (very) little in it. in Brooklyn off the JMZ. In a slight panic, I dashed up the stairs -- which are probably not exactly compliant with housing standards, but I was afraid I was already fired from my non-paying job -- and burst into a large room in which several people were . . . milling about. Looking quasi-purposeful. A couple were women in 1920s' dress, and they had the same expression of expectancy that I would be wearing for about the next hour thereafter. Here we are. What do we do? Eventually all was made clear, but not before I went through a good period of feeling oddly awkward and guilty, standing there, in suspenders and vest (AND pants, you ruffians), reading my NYPL-loaned play, wondering if I had dressed up enough, if I should be doing something, if I was creeping people out by not making nervous conversation with anyone. Eventually, the room was set up to resemble a "speakeasy" (I so wanted to tell them it was more a "blind pig," but for promising myself not to geek out too much through the day) and the director finished working in another room and found her way to clear a few things up for we wandering extras. Between her needs and our costumes, she allotted us roles and, owing largely to my shirt sleeves and vest I'm sure, I was cast as the bartender. has attested, ain't exactly easy. So it's good to converse with your fellow man as much as possible. Most professional movie actors have perfected the art of taking interest in what you have to say, I'd wager. , I was of course a little disappointed not to find a pratfall anywhere in the room. I had even brought a pair of Lloyd-like glasses with me in case a little visual homage were in order, but it was clear from the start that such was not the objective of this particular moving picture. So I wiped the bar down, and I made chit-chat with actors when their mark was nearby. A pleasant day. And hey: Free Thai food! I return to shoot in a couple of different settings this Wednesday. One of these settings is a concert hall, and occasioned the purchase of a gray top hat. Why do you need a gray top hat? I don't. Not really. BUT NOW I HAVE ONE! Ahh. It really is the little things in life. There is also something of a possibility that more of my individual talents may be brought into play. When I originally sent my information to Winsome, expressing interest in the project, I highlighted my movement experience, which of course includes some stage combat. Apparently there is to be a scrap filmed on Wednesday, and she suggested I may be useful for that. I don't know if that means I'd be involved on film, or advising about movement, or what. We shall see. Whatever the outcome, it's exciting just knowing that I get to return to that world. I'm in a silent film. God, I love my job.

Biografia Formazione e l'attacco di Pearl Harbor , nella prefettura di Tokushima, . In giovane età s'iscrisse all'Accademia navale di Etajima; studiò nella 68ª classe e si diplomò nel 1940, ottenendo la qualifica di guardiamarina. Sakamaki fu tra i dieci uomini (cinque ufficiali e cinque sottufficiali) selezionati per attaccare Pearl Harbor a bordo di cinque sommergibili tascabili della classe Ko-hyoteki, quale azione accessoria al previsto attacco aeronavale lanciato dalla 1ª Flotta aerea (viceammiraglio Chūichi Nagumo). Egli fu scelto poiché aveva numerosi fratelli e sorelle: con il maresciallo Kiyoshi Inagaki prese posto sul battello Ha-19, assumendone inoltre il comando. L'unità fu rilasciata dal sommergibile oceanico I-24 in prossimità della rada statunitense, ma Sakamaki non riuscì ad arrivare a tiro di qualche bersaglio a causa di problemi alla girobussola; alla fine colpì tre volte scogliere coralline e affiorò a Waimanalo Beach, poco dopo che la prima ondata dalle portaerei aveva iniziato il bombardamento. Attorno alle 08:15 il cacciatorpediniere , messosi in moto e impegnato a sparare contro gli aeroplani nipponici, avvistò la falsatorre dello Ha-19 e la bersagliò con i pezzi principali; non lo colpì direttamente ma le concussioni delle esplosioni furono sufficienti a gettarlo via dalle scogliere. Sakamaki e il commilitone, storditi, riuscirono comunque a sfuggire allo Helm e poi al lancio di alcune cariche di profondità; Sakamaki si accorse dunque che anche il sistema di lancio era ormai danneggiato, così come lo scafo e le batterie, i cui fumi fecero svenire i due militari. Sakamaki rinvenne la sera del 7 dicembre e tentò almeno di far arenare il battello sulla spiaggia poco distante: tuttavia i motori smisero di funzionare dopo poco e di nuovo una scogliera intrappolò la piccola unità. Visto che lo Ha-19 si stava allagando ed era ormai inservibile, Sakamaki ordinò a Inagaki di abbandonare il sommergibile; preparò quindi la carica da demolizione in dotazione, la innescò e uscì a sua volta. Non ci fu però alcuna detonazione, Sakamaki perse conoscenza e il suo compagno morì affogato. Il guardiamarina fu ritrovato la mattina dell'8 dicembre a riva dal sergente David Akui, fu fatto prigioniero e fu interrogato brevemente a Fort Shafter prima di essere avviato a un campo di detenzione sul continente: divenne così il primo prigioniero di guerra giapponese della guerra contro gli Alleati in Asia e nel Pacifico. Una volta saputo della cosa gli alti comandi della Marina imperiale lo cancellarono dai propri registri, per occultarne il destino. Anche lo Ha-19 fu più tardi recuperato dalla United States Navy e mostrato in varie città degli Stati Uniti per incoraggiare l'acquisto di titoli di guerra. Prigionia e vita dopo la guerra Sakamaki fu trasferito a Sand Island e, divorato dal senso di colpa per essere stato catturato, si bruciò con mozziconi di sigaretta anche con l'intento di sfigurarsi e non farsi riconoscere nel caso fosse apparso in una fotografia; supplicò poi, inutilmente, che gli fosse permesso di suicidarsi per non recare altro danno all'onore della propria famiglia. Trascorse il resto della guerra in vari campi di detenzione negli Stati Uniti continentali, inizialmente osservato con attenzione per evitare che potesse uccidersi. Con il passare dei mesi e l'arrivo di altri prigionieri giapponesi, Sakamaki riacquistò con gradualità la calma e la voglia di vivere, se non altro perché non era più l'unico militare nipponico caduto in mano al nemico – nemico, peraltro, la cui umanità lo aveva lasciato stupito. Ebbe modo di riflettere sulla propria vita e sulla natura della guerra e si oppose con successo alla realizzazione di una rivolta a Camp McCoy, privando di appoggi i reclusi più bellicosi. Una volta concluse le ostilità rientrò in Giappone: per quel periodo si era convertito al pacifismo. Non ricevette un'accoglienza particolarmente calorosa. Nel secondo dopoguerra Sakamaki fu assunto dalla Toyota Motor Corporation e ne scalò la gerarchia sino a divenire presidente, nel 1969, della sua filiale in Brasile. Nel 1983 tornò in Giappone e continuò a lavorare per l'azienda prima di andare in pensione nel 1987. Pur avendo rinunciato a scrivere un libro di memorie, Sakamaki aveva redatto poco dopo il 1945 un breve racconto intitolato Il primo prigioniero in Giappone e Ho attaccato Pearl Harbor negli Stati Uniti: dopodiché rifiutò di parlare della guerra fino al 1991, quando partecipò a una conferenza storica al National Museum of the Pacific War a Fredericksburg, in Texas. Nell'istituto era conservato il piccolo battello tascabile sul quale aveva prestato servizio e, sembra, pianse nel corso della conferenza quando si riunì allo Ha-19 per la prima volta in 50 anni. Trascorse il resto della sua vita in Giappone fino alla morte, avvenuta il 29 novembre 1999: aveva 81 anni. Lasciò la moglie e due figli.

Published on Wednesday, January 12, 2011 @ 1345 hrs. ANNUAL SPORTS AND CULTURAL FESTIVAL 2011 - Day 1 The Annual Sports and Cultural Festival occupies a prominent place in the calendar of events of the students' curriculum in the hallowed Sri Sathya Sai Educational institutions. Students from colleges and schools and people from far and near come in large numbers to witness this grand spectacle of the students. This event is entirely organised and choreographed by the students and staff of the educational institutions. Showcasing of sports events is usually done on the 11th of every year with dramatic presentations on succeeding days and ends with the prize distribution function on the Sankranti festival. This year the sports events will be spanned over a period of two days and would be an evening affair. On the 11th evening, all the campuses marched sprightly to lilting tunes of the Institute's brass band followed by an exhibition of daredevilry and rhythm by the Anantapur and Brindavan campuses with a short programme by the students of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, College of Nursing & Allied Health Sciences. This was the maiden performance by the College of Nursing students. Bhagawan arrived at the Sri Sathya Sai Hill View Stadium at 5 p.m. in an immaculate white robe through the northern end of the stadium overlooking the Sri Sathya Sai Primary School. A motorbike escort of students drove in regally welcoming Bhagawan into the stadium. The Anantapur campus band, slow march squad bearing flags and the Institute brass band formed part of this grand procession. After Bhagawan ascended the dais, He lighted the ceremonial lamp to mark the beginning of the proceedings. At the outset, more than 1,600 students from Bhagawan's educational institutions marched past the dais saluting Bhagawan. The first contingent was the tiny tots from Sri Sathya Sai Primary School followed by Smt. Easwaramma High School – English Medium (again a first performance by the school), Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Anantapur Campus, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences (College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences), Sri Sathya Sai Junior College for Women, Anantapur, Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School, Sri Sathya Sai Mirpuri College of Music, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Brindavan Campus and Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Prasanthi Nilayam Campus. The Revered Chancellor of the Institute, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba then hoisted the Institute flag and the Institute Captain administered the oath to take part in the sports events in the Annual Sports and Cultural Festival in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the honour of the country and the glory of Mother Sai. After the ceremonial lighting of the sports torch by Bhagawan, the athletes of the Institute in pairs carried the torch aloft to a point in the hill near the Chaitanya Jyoti museum from where the torch-bearer of the sports meet, a tropical multicoloured parrot took it to its destination, an urn at the Hanuman hilltop. The urn was lit to a thunderous applause from the audience. Bhagawan released doves symbolising peace as bunches of balloons soared in the sky. The Anantapur Campus band and the Institute Brass Band marched past the dais saluting Bhagawan. This marked the conclusion of the march past event. The evening's sports performance began with the sports and cultural events by the Anantapur campus of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning. The first item was showcasing of stunts on Apache 160 RTR motorbikes. The presentation was christened "Aim High, Soar High". The feats included crisscrossing on bikes, balancing acts – some of them were truly stunning. An awe-inspiring stunt was jumping across girls lying on the ground after getting the elevation from a ramp, and smashing an obstacle with consummate ease. After the bike stunts was a cultural event featuring different formations with colourful bands of cloth. The next presentation was Yogasanas on a structure designed like a ship. Students performed various postures on the ship's mast. The formations and balancing acts were eye-catching and inspiring. The theme of this presentation was "Sai is the anchor, Sai is the lighthouse and Sai is the destination". The last item, "Imagination is the highest kite" was an innovative performance with kites. Sankranti is the season for kite flying. Taking this cue, the students made formations with kites. After this, the students converged for the final formation releasing colourful balloons. The next presentation was a short one from the students of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences (College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences). Dressed as nurses, they brought out the nobility of the nursing profession through various formations and dances. The last presentation for the evening was from the students of Brindavan Campus. The first performance was from the brass band of the campus, which played a few pieces. The next item was a dance with balance and dexterity – the flavour and fragrance of Lord Jagannath of Puri. A beautiful backdrop of a peacock in full bloom with lights was an added attraction. They made various yogic postures and beautiful balances, one on the other. Dragon dance in typical Chinese style was performed by the students which gave the aura of the Chinese ambience. This performance was marked by rhythm and harmony on huge drums. A discerning viewer got a feel of the Chinese culture with martial artistes performing with the ferocity of a tiger. Shifting over to the ancient Indian style of martial arts, students showed combat formations and styles with swords and sticks followed by a demonstration of actual combat with sticks and swords. The last performance for the evening was on a huge suspended structure. Students made beautiful formations beginning with 85 Years of Love. It was a treat to watch students joining each other's legs and hands to make these formations. Calling themselves aerial acrobats, these messengers of love performed with skill, dexterity and balance. Their feats ended with the beautiful formation, "We Love You Sai – Yours Forever". Arathi was offered to Bhagawan at 6.45 p.m. Thus ended, the first day of Sports and Cultural Festival of the Sri Sathya Sai Educational Institutions. The second day's performance will be by the students from Bhagawan's educational institutions in Prasanthi Nilayam including the institute, the higher secondary school, the primary school and the new entrant Smt. Easwaramma English Medium High School. Day 2 Report with Images

Changing Patterns of Kuru: Epidemiological Changes in the Period of Increasing Contact of the Fore People with Western Civilization Michael Alpers and D. Carleton Gajdusek Source: The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Volume 14, Issue 5, 1 Sep 1965, p. 852 - 879 DOI: https://doi.org/10.4269/ajtmh.1965.14.852 Analysis of the records of kuru from 1957 to 1964, including over 1450 patients, shows that there has been a progressive decline in kuru mortality and incidence over this period, present in adults and children, but most marked among the latter, and especially so in the youngest age group. More detailed analysis by sex and age distribution, and by ethnic and geographic division has been undertaken by a comparison of the figures for two three-year periods, 1957 to 1957 and 1961 to 1963. Age-duration studies show that the duration of the disease has increased in adults in the more recent period. Evidence is also put forward for the possibility of a seasonal variation in the incidence of kuru. The possible implications of these results are briefly discussed and it is suggested that the changes may be related directly to the process of acculturation to Western civilization which has taken place in the kuru region throughout the period under study. /content/journals/10.4269/ajtmh.1965.14.852 http://instance.metastore.ingenta.com/content/journals/10.4269/ajtmh.1965.14.852 10.4269/ajtmh.1965.14.852

I'm from a group of friends who look for excuses to cook. Food is at the center of a lot of our favorite things to get together for, like Festivus, the Super Bowl, and, of course, Halloween. We're basically just low-key folks looking for an excuse to make a themed-feast. When I presented them with the idea of a Halloween dinner party, I was met with mixed responses. Everyone was pretty clear about not wanting to dress up. It's not that we don't like it, but trying to have a costume ready on such short notice is stressful for those who put pride in their yearly attempt. That left the focus on food in a big way. A pair of my friends graciously volunteered their apartment as the event space, so we got together a few spooky decorations and let some scary movies play in the background to set the ambiance. For six guests, we decided on two appetizers, two main courses, and two desserts. It only took three shopping trips (don't judge me) before I was ready to get cooking. For appetizers, I went with a super-adorable pumpkin-style cheese ball and deviled eggs, which were supposed to look like pumpkins. For the main course, there were jack-o'-lantern-style stuffed peppers and autumn ribs with a cranberry glaze. Dessert was pumpkin cheesecake dip and pumpkin pie wontons. It took just over three hours to bring the feast to fruition, and although cooking at that scale is rarely easy, it was well worth it. I went into the night a little frazzled. The day had gotten away from me, and I met up with my friends to begin cooking later than I wanted to. They reassured me that eating later would just add to the ambiance of the whole thing, so we got started. First up, we rubbed down the baby back ribs with sugar, mustard powder, chili powder, celery salt, cinnamon, kosher salt, and pepper as explained in Food 52's recipe for Autumn Ribs With Cranberry Cider Glaze. Next, it was time to boil eggs. My favorite deviled eggs recipe is Truffled Deviled Eggs from Tide & Thyme, although I had to leave out the truffle oil to please the masses. Next, we roasted some garlic and threw it in the blender in preparation to make Roasted Garlic Chipotle Mayonnaise. I thought this would lend itself to delicious deviled eggs that present a little more orange than average. Then it was time to make the cranberry glaze, which coats the ribs until they caramelize in the final stage of cooking. Being someone who only consumes cranberry with vodka, I was admittedly skeptical. It also felt a little too Thanksgiving-like, but I trusted the process. Next up was our festive cheese ball! I followed the Perfect Fall Cheese Ball recipe from Genius Kitchen. We did run into a little snafu by accidentally adding an additional block of cream cheese, but luckily, we are a group of food lovers who don't believe there is such a thing as too much cheese. We mixed everything together, wrapped it in cling wrap, and put it in the fridge to harden. Back to the eggs! I was bummed that despite fancying up the mayo, we didn't get the orange color. I still love deviled eggs, so we decided to finish them. I always make a mess during the refilling portion. Luckily, one of my friends pulled off making a piping bag out of a zip-lock bag. I let him do the filling so I wouldn't coat the entire apartment in egg yolk. It was time to check on the ribs, and they smelled AMAZING. We drizzled the cranberry cider glaze on the ribs and covered them, then popped them back in the oven to finish them off. It was time to check back in on the cheese ball. I really loved the idea of using the top of a pepper to give it a pumpkin feel. We coated the outside with cheddar-and-sour-cream chips, deviating a little from Genius Kitchen's recipe. The cheese ball was still a little too soft to put all the pumpkin lines in, so it needed to chill a little while longer. It was time to work with the rest of the peppers. I had the most fun carving little jack-o-lantern faces into the peppers, which were inspired by Everyday Jenny's Shredded Chicken and Rice Stuffed Peppers (Halloween Style). I used a paring knife for precision, but I was still so nervous about getting the faces just right. I tried a few different designs, and I couldn't pick a favorite because they were all adorable. It was finally time to start eating! I set out the appetizers, and no joke, that cheese ball was half destroyed within 10 minutes of the picture being taken. I also went TO TOWN on those deviled eggs, in case you were wondering. Just because they were fail eggs didn't mean they didn't deserve love, too! After appetizers, it was time to fill the stuffed peppers. I used ground beef instead of shredded chicken, and white rice instead of Mexican rice since I'd made too much rice the night before. These guys needed just an hour in the oven. The peppers went in just as the ribs were coming out. A little peek under the foil showed that they weren't quite caramelizing yet, so they had to go back in for a little longer (10 to 15 minutes by my estimation). The ribs settled until the peppers were ready. I pulled them out of the oven and was kind of wowed by the personality the little faces had! That one that was turned toward me was part aww and part terrifying — in all the best ways. Our friends were THRILLED when it was time for the main course. The house smelled all kinds of delicious. I was a little nervous for everyone to dig in, but I was immediately reassured when everyone started to devour both the ribs and the peppers. A taste test of my own confirmed that everything was scrumptious. Finally, it was time for dessert! I haven't said much about the Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip, the recipe for which I got from A Night Owl, but that's because it was so easy to whip up. You just mix everything up and refrigerate until ready to serve! I picked this recipe because I was so intrigued by the use of the pumpkin spice creamer. I like recipes that use items unconventionally, and this one totally delivered. Last but most certainly not least, we have the Pumpkin Pie Wontons, courtesy of Tablespoon. I've never used wonton wrappers before, so I was a little intimidated. Putting them together was actually super easy! You simply brush the edges of the paper with an egg wash to seal them. While frying them, I learned the importance of pinching the corners tightly during assembly. We lost a few wontons to them exploding in the pan, but luckily, most of them made it just fine. Next was the messy (but beautiful) sprinkling with powdered sugar. I tend to think powdered sugar is both the best and worst thing that's ever happened to desserts because it can get messy but is oh-so-yum! Everyone had more or less forgotten about dessert, but everyone's eyes widened as I put it out. While I don't have even a little bit of a sweet tooth, my friends most certainly do. We enjoyed these with some coffee and tea. The Halloween dinner party was, by all accounts, a success. I've thrown many a Halloween party in my day, but one that doesn't involve cleaning up after massive amounts of drunk friends and instead shifts the focus to food is definitely more up my alley. The only thing that would've made it better is if everyone had been ready to dress up. There's always next year though, and I can't wait.

Calabash ends on a high Ketchdis.Com Radio > Blog > Sy's World > Calabash ends on a high June 5, 2018/By Sysworld/In Sy's World/ 0 Comment It's kudos and commendations all round from organisers and participants in the Calabash Literary Festival, which was held in Treasure Beach, St Elizabeth, on the weekend. The three-day event — which was founded in 2001 — has seen a raft of noted acts perform on the seaside stage at Jakes Boutique Hotel in the quaint, rural fishing village. Festival producer Justine Henzell said that with a festival the size of Calabash, there are always things that can go wrong logistically. However, this year nothing hampered its flow. She pointed to the female writers who, for her, stood out. "There were so many incredible female voices. Each one different, each one bringing a different perspective and a different style , but all of them showing excellence. There wasn't one of them to pick out as a body of work, they were just spectacular. The music was also incredible. On Saturday night, we had Bad Gyal Marie and ZJ Nova who had the whole of Treasure Beach dancing and the night before was Etana and she just brought it home," Henzell told the Jamaica Observer. The 2015 Man Booker Prize winner, Jamaican Marlon James, was also among this year's attendees and he too had praise for the festival. "Calabash offers what it always offers. It brings the literary world here and it brings us to the literary world and it does both at the same time, and it's the only festival of its kind that does that, and that's what it has always been doing. I was discovered at Calabash. I found my first publisher, I found my first editor here and for me it was a great nurturer of talent, but also a great place to showcase talent that was not much different from mine. So, to refine authors like me and authors doing stuff in the vein that I was doing and being successful at it artistically," said James, who won the acclaimed literary prize for his work, A Brief History of Seven Killings. He told the Observer that he is in the final stages of his next book, expected out in 2019, and also spoke about how winning the Man Booker Prize has transformed his life. "It really does change your life. Almost everywhere all over the world. Your life is no longer your own. But it also means that people all over the world are reading your work in all sorts of languages, so it really does instantly change your life."

I've got my assignments for 2019. Most of us shy away from this word because we don't like the uncertainty of upsetting the status quo. I've been thinking much about change recently, not out of choice but necessity. By the time September rolls around, I will have spent the past six months involved in five different moves. Unsettling. Lots of work. Many memories. Even a few tears. Yet, recently, I've enjoyed great peace in my life by admitting the obvious. Change is a constant of life on this earth.

Q: Android screenshot of view with shadow I'm trying to take a screenshot of a CardView that has a shadow (elevation). However, the screenshot comes out without the shadow. Any ideas? This is my code: View v = mView.RootView; v.DrawingCacheEnabled = true; Bitmap b = v.DrawingCache; A: Shadows (Elevation In API25+) are hardware accelerated and are not available for caching at the view level. Also if you turn off the hardware acceleration for a View (actually its parent) than the elevation effect is also disable thus not available for caching... (aView.Parent as View).SetLayerType(LayerType.Software, null); A View Cache Capture Example: Bitmap CaptureView(View view) { if (view.IsHardwareAccelerated) Toast.MakeText(ApplicationContext, "View Is Hardware Accelerated, Effects will not be captured", ToastLength.Long).Show(); view.BuildDrawingCache(); Bitmap bitmap = view.GetDrawingCache(false); Bitmap bitmapCopy = bitmap.Copy(Bitmap.Config.Argb8888, false); view.DestroyDrawingCache(); return bitmapCopy; }

The Latest: Italy's tally of new virus cases down to 239 The "Oilworkers" sculpture by Beatriz Blanco is reflected in the sunglasses of a woman wearing a stylized protective face mask as a precaution against the new coronavirus, on Sabana Grande boulevard in Caracas, Venezuela, Saturday, Aug. 1, 2020. (AP Photo/Matias Delacroix) MILAN — The number of new confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Italy nudged lower to 239 in the last 24 hours, while all eight deaths were recorded in Lombardy, the epicenter of the country's epidemic. That brings the total number of cases in Italy to 248,070 and deaths to 35,154, according to Health Ministry figures released Sunday. New cases were distributed in every region, with none at zero, and Emilia-Romagna, which has had several outbreaks, counting the most at 49. The number of daily cases in Italy has hovered between 200-300 for weeks, mostly related to people arriving from outside of Italy, either foreign workers or migrants. Italians have been filling beaches, particularly on the weekends, as the country enters the traditional holiday month of August. A beach establishment in Sabaudia, south of Rome, was closed after a lifeguard tested positive. And Italian high-speed railway operators were forced to reverse plans to loosen distancing rules on trains after Health Minister Roberto Speranza passed an ordinance blocking a move by the transport ministry to allow all seats to be occupied. HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE VIRUS OUTBREAK: —Indiareports 55,000 virus cases, Florida faces hurricane — Virtual school: Teachers want to improve but training varies — South Africa hits 500,000 confirmed cases, still not at peak — Thousands have converged inBerlin to protest Germany's coronavirus restrictions at a demonstration proclaiming "the end of the pandemic" has arrived. The protest comes as German authorities are voicing increasing concerns about an uptick in new infections. — Travelers enteringFrancefrom 16 countries where the coronavirus is circulating widely are having to undergo virus tests upon arrival at French airports and ports. — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he is postponing some planned measures to ease the lockdown because the number of new coronavirus cases in the country is on the rise. CHARLESTON, W.Va. __ White House coronavirus task force leader Dr. Deborah Birx says widespread coronavirus infections in urban and rural America mark a "new phase" for the pandemic as she doubled down on calls to wear face masks and observe social distancing measures. Birx, speaking on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday morning, said "What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread." The United States has the world's biggest number of cases at 4.6 million, or one-quarter of the total, and 154,361 deaths. Birx said mitigation efforts across the west and the south are beginning to work but warned that people need to take the virus seriously and employ significant safety precautions when cases first begin to tick up. WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she doesn't have faith in White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx, whom she ties to misinformation spread by President Donald Trump. Pelosi was asked on ABC's "This Week" whether she had confidence in Birx. The California Democrat replied: "I think the president has been spreading disinformation about the virus and she is his appointee so I don't have confidence there, no." Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," Birx said she has respect for Pelosi and attributed the sentiment to a New York Times article in which Birx is described as embracing overly optimistic assessments of the coronavirus. Birx said that she has "never been called Pollyannish or non-scientific or non-data-driven. And I will stake my 40-year career on those fundamental principles of utilizing data to really implement better programs to save more lives." ATHENS, Greece — Greek health authorities on Sunday announced 75 new coronavirus cases — 4 of them from international arrivals — and 2 deaths over the past 24 hours. The total number of cases has risen to 4,662, with 208 deaths. Twelve patients are on ventilators, while 128 have exited intensive care units. Sunday's data are less alarming than Saturday's 110 new cases — the fourth largest daily tally and largest since April — but authorities are stepping up inspections, especially at holiday hotspots, where people have started gathering after a very slow start to the tourist season. JOHANNESBURG — South Africa exceeded half a million confirmed cases of the coronavirus, even as President Cyril Ramaphosa said he sees "promising signs" that the rapid growth of cases is stabilizing and that the country's strained health system is managing to cope in most areas. South Africa's caseload represents more than 50% of all reported coronavirus infections in Africa's 54 countries. Health Minister Zwelini Mkhize announced 10,107 new cases Saturday night, bringing the country's cumulative total to 503,290, including 8,153 deaths. South Africa, with a population of about 58 million, has the fifth-highest number of cases in the world, behind the U.S., Brazil, Russia and India, all countries with significantly higher populations, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. Experts say the true toll of the pandemic worldwide is much higher than confirmed cases, due to limited testing and other reasons. Ramaphosa, in a letter to the nation on Sunday, said that despite the high number of confirmed cases, he sees some positive developments, including that the daily increase in infections appears to be stabilizing in the provinces of the Western Cape, which includes Cape Town, the Eastern Cape and Gauteng, which is home to Johannesburg and Pretoria. NEW DELHI — Indian Home Minister Amit Shah says he has tested positive for the coronavirus and is getting admitted to a hospital on the advice of doctors. Shah, 55, tweeted on Sunday that his health is fine and requested those who had come in his contact to isolate themselves and get tested. Shah is No. 2 in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. He has been visiting hospitals and holding meetings with top officials as part of the government's massive efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 infections in the country. VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis called on politicians to create jobs so that economies can relaunch from the lockdowns imposed to combat the coronavirus pandemic. The pope, speaking after the traditional Sunday blessing, said that ''without work, families and society cannot go forward. Let us pray for this, because this will be a problem in the post-pandemic period, the poverty and the lack of jobs. It requires lots of solidarity and lots of creativity to resolve this problem.'' The pontiff also wished the faithful ''some days of rest, and contact with nature, to recharge also in the spiritual dimension." The pope's remarks follow a week in which officials released statistics showing a record plunge in both the U.S. and eurozone economies. MANILA, Philippines — Coronavirus infections in the Philippines surged past 100,000 Sunday after medical groups declared that the country was waging "a losing battle" against the virus and asked the president to reimpose a lockdown in the capital. The Department of Health reported a record-high daily tally of 5,032, bringing the total confirmed cases in the country to 103,185, including more than 2,000 deaths. The Philippines has the second-most cases in Southeast Asia after Indonesia. President Rodrigo Duterte eased a tough virus lockdown in the capital, Manila, on June 1. After shopping malls and workplaces were partially reopened and limited public transport was allowed, infections spiked sharply with increased virus testing. More than 50,000 infections were reported in less than four weeks and leading hospitals began warning that their coronavirus wards were fast being overwhelmed to capacity again, as they were when cases soared alarmingly in April. After Duterte further relaxed quarantine restrictions and allowed more businesses, including gyms, internet cafes and tattoo shops, to reopen, leaders of nearly 100 medical organizations held an online news conference Saturday and warned that the health system may collapse as many medical personnel fall ill or resign out of fear, fatigue or poor working conditions. TOKYO — Confirmed coronavirus cases are hovering at near record levels in Japan, raising worries the pandemic may be growing more difficult to control. The Tokyo government reported 292 new cases Sunday, about half in their 20s. Japan in total reported 1,540 cases on Saturday— the second straight day the number was above 1,500. Nationwide cases for Sunday will be tallied at midnight. Numbers are usually fewer over the weekend because of fewer tests. Japan has avoided a total lockdown, encouraging business activity while urging people to wear masks, social distance and work from home. TEL AVIV, Israel — An Israeli Cabinet minister says he has tested positive for the coronavirus. Minister for Jerusalem and Heritage Rafi Peretz tweeted late Saturday that he received a positive result after being tested the previous day. He said he felt well. Peretz is the second Israeli minister to have been infected with the virus. Israel's former health minister, Yaakov Litzman, also contracted it and later recovered. Israeli media reported that contact tracing was being conducted to determine whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or other legislators would need to self-isolate following Peretz' diagnosis. Israel is experiencing a surge in coronavirus cases after having largely contained an earlier outbreak in the spring. MELBOURNE, Australia — The premier of Australia's hard-hit Victoria state has declared a disaster among sweeping new coronavirus restrictions across Melbourne and elsewhere from Sunday night. An evening curfew will be implemented across Melbourne from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Premier Daniel Andrews says the state of disaster proclamation gave police greater power. He says 671 new coronavirus cases had been detected since Saturday, including seven deaths. It comes among a steadily increasing toll in both deaths and infections over the past six weeks in Victoria. Melbourne residents will only be allowed to shop and exercise within 5 kilometers (3 miles) of their homes. All students across the state will return to home-based learning and child care centers will be closed. The deaths in Victoria took the national toll to 208. NEW DELHI — India's coronavirus caseload crossed 1.75 million with another spike of 54,735 in the past 24 hours. The new cases are down from 57,118 on Saturday. The Health Ministry on Sunday also reported 853 deaths for a total of 37,364. Randeep Guleria, a top government expert, said that New Delhi and Mumbai may have crossed their peak levels with declining trends. The month of July alone has accounted for more than 1.1 million cases in India. Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said the case fatality rate was progressively reducing and currently stands at 2.18%, one of the lowest globally. Out of the total active cases, only 0.28% are on ventilators, 1.61% need intensive care support and 2.32% oxygen support. MELBOURNE, Australia — Australian media are reporting that coronavirus-forced restrictions in Melbourne could be tightened from next week as authorities try to stem the spread of COVID-19. The Sunday Age reported the city may be placed under a six-week period of more stringent constraints, including the almost complete shutdown of Melbourne's public transport network, starting from Wednesday. The Sunday Herald Sun reports Victoria state Premier Daniel Andrews will announce the new measures over the next two days. They also include limiting the distance residents could travel from their homes and the closure of more businesses selling non-essential goods. It comes as Australia's COVID-19 death toll rose to 201, with Victoria state leaders considering New Zealand-style lockdowns to get community transmission under control. Victoria on Saturday reported the deaths of a man and two women aged in their 80s and 90s, and 397 new cases. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Florida health officials have reported 179 new deaths from the coronavirus, bringing the state's total to more than 7,000. The latest numbers came Saturday as Hurricane Isaias threatened Florida's eastern coast, but no evacuations were immediately announced. The National Hurricane Center's latest prediction had the storm scraping past Florida but not making landfall. Hospitalizations for the coronavirus have been declining for the past week and a half, with fewer than 8,000 treated for the coronavirus on Saturday. That's down from highs of more than 9,500 last week. by MARIA CHENG , Associated Press / Jan 15, 2021 LONDON (AP) — The European Union's drug regulator said Friday that COVID-19 vaccine documents stolen from its servers by hackers have been not only leaked to the web, but "manipulated." The European Medicines Agency said that an ongoing investigation showed that hackers obtained emails and documents from November related to the evaluation of experimental coronavirus vaccines. The agency, which regulates drugs and medicines across the 27-member EU, had troves of confidential COVID-19 data as part of its vaccine approval process.

There are lots of ideas about what should be zypper able to do, how the output should look like, and so on. Unfortunately, we don't have resources to code them all. Fortunately, you can help us :O). Here is one way to do it. Check our list of bugs and pick up one or few that interests (or bothers) you. Fix it and send us a patch :O) Simple, eh? You can also contact the developers before or while fixing the bug to get help or coordinate the work. Please note that some of the bugs may need work in libzypp rather than zypper.

But the past two seasons have shown the downside of the strategy, the consequences of overhyped newcomers who can't quite live up to the bombastic expectations. We've seen the collateral damage of the ticking clock. And the clock is ticking. We know it. The players know it. Calipari knows it. These days, the window of opportunity closes extremely fast. These days a Kentucky team has one shot at greatness before the refresh button must be pushed and we start all over again with another collection of newcomers. UK's 87-82 loss at LSU on Tuesday night shouldn't be that big of a deal. It's hard to win on the road. The conference schedule isn't even half over. LSU presented matchup problems. You could say this young Kentucky team has plenty of time to get it right, but it doesn't. Not when you know that no matter how they play, the likes of Julius Randle, James Young, Aaron Harrison and his twin brother Andrew are all headed to the NBA at season's end. That was the bargain all along. It doesn't really matter if all four are ready for the NBA. Was Daniel Orton ready? Was Marquis Teague ready? Was Archie Goodwin ready? They wanted to go, that was their goal, so they went. It doesn't really matter that not all top-ranked recruiting classes are created equal, or that the very idea of accurately ranking high school athletes from across the country in order of potential is impossible at best, farcical at worst. Timely example: Russell Wilson will lead the Seattle Seahawks in Sunday's Super Bowl. Back in 2007, Rivals.com ranked the dual-threat quarterback out of Richmond, Va., as, oops, Wilson wasn't considered talented enough to earn a ranking. He was a two-star recruit. This isn't to pick on a scouting service. It is an example of an inexact science. At UK, there is no time for revisionist rankings, however. The shelf life is short. The sense of urgency is great. The pressure is intense. You can see it in the players who seem to be having little to no fun. You can see it in the head coach. Ron Higgins of the Times-Picayune in New Orleans knows John Calipari well from their days in Memphis — Higgins was a writer for the Memphis Commercial Appeal; John as coach of the Tigers. What struck Higgins on Tuesday night was Calipari's impatience with his players. "On this night," said Higgins via e-mail, "they looked like a bunch of freshmen all trying to make plays to avoid catching Cal's wrath." Can you really blame Calipari? He can't afford to wait until Randle's sophomore season for the Texan to develop a perimeter game. He can't afford to wait until next year for Andrew Harrison to learn on which side of the floor he should be positioned. He needs these young birds to soar right now. His hip is bothering him, true, but you can see all this taking its toll on Calipari, as you might expect from someone who is constantly coaching first-year players. They may have to rename Cal's post-game interview with Tom Leach "The Kenny Payne or John Robic Show." Next up is a Saturday game at Missouri. It is UK basketball's first visit to Mizzou. A Wednesday check of StubHub showed tickets priced as high as $280. It's not over until it's over, of course. Despite the wobbles, this team is superior to last year's team. There's not another NIT trip in my crystal ball. Where there's talent, there's hope. "I just wish we were farther along," Calipari said Monday before his team made the trip to the Bayou.

Akeda supported youthful skin, healthy hair, and strong bones. Because of the benefits and the intense competition from other brands, Akeda was targeted towards women. For this reason, the logo not only resembles a pour and a peptide, but a lady stretching her healthy body. The colors chosen made for a calm break in the amped up sea of protein powders. The arrangement of the logo provided a strong vertical rule to work with. This allowed me to list the benefits in right justification against the logo, making the list more likely to be read over. The overall packaging design included strong vertical and horizontal lines mixed with a very clean pharmaceutical style that managed to maintain a soft and inviting look.

Behind the Scenes of Maintaining an Open Source Project Jordi Boggiano Saturday 27 June 2015 at 15:45 Keynote in English - US at Dutch PHP Conference 2015 View Slides: http://slides.seld.be/?file=2015-06-26+Behind+the+Scenes+of+Maintaining+an+Open+Source+Project.html#1 Short URL: https://joind.in/talk/a7a48 (QR-Code (opens in new window)) Gabriel Somoza at 16:31 on 27 Jun 2015 Remon van de Kamp at 21:03 on 27 Jun 2015 Very good talk, really deserved the keynote spot! Really good speaker and a really interesting subject, which was very well covered. I loved the anecdotes! Niels Nijens at 21:10 on 27 Jun 2015 Lucas at 21:39 on 27 Jun 2015 Thanks for making us aware again that we should not treat all the things we currently have in the open source world like a commodity and complain if things sometimes don't work out as expected. Reminds me that I have thought many many times: "Composer has absolutely revolutionized the way build applications", but never actually said this to you on Twitter etc, so: a late thanks for this! The underlying "be kind" message in your talk is means a lot to me, I can react angry at people at times (just in general) where it's just not worth it. So also thanks for reminding me I should always try and react less angry than the person who approaches you. Furthermore your keynote was also a lot of fun. Gorka López de Torre at 23:15 on 27 Jun 2015 It lacked a little bit of rythm at times, but it was really interesting to get some feedback from the open source package manteiner trenches of such popular projects as composer and monolog. Great talk on the human side of the OS community from the inside. Ben Waine at 01:50 on 28 Jun 2015 I'd like to echo the comments made by Lucas and Remon. Nice to hear about whats it's like to be the maintainer of an open source project. I liked the delivery, although not the most polished it was heartfelt and authentic. Thanks for your continued hard work, try not to burn out! :D Stephan Hochdörfer at 09:51 on 28 Jun 2015 Good closing keynote. Interesting to hear about the insights (and the daily problems) of an open source maintainer. Will try to keep that in mind when bothering the speaker next time about problems with Composer or my PRs that take a while to get into master :P Thanks Jordi! Hugo Hamon at 10:14 on 28 Jun 2015 The keynote was inspiring, fun and with lots of hilarious moments. Jordi is both a talented developer and a great speaker. Thanks for your presentation man! I've rated 4 instead of 5 just because I expected the pace to be a bit more energical. Otherwise, the content was excellent! Stefan Koopmanschap at 10:22 on 28 Jun 2015 Quite an interesting view in some of the aspects of maintaining an open source project. A good mix between jokes and serious content, and some lessons to take away. Alessandro Rabitti at 10:49 on 28 Jun 2015 Impressive and really great closure of a fantastic conference. Jordi was sincere, real, funny at the same time, talking about some aspects of his great experience behind the scene of Composer project. Onno Marsman at 14:36 on 28 Jun 2015 Insightful and entertaining. Thijs Feryn at 14:53 on 28 Jun 2015 This is a new level of keynoting which I enjoy. We've seen our fair share of inspirational speakers over the years (which I always enjoyed). Jordi is a different breed of speaker: no nonsense, to the point, a healthy dose of humor and sarcasm. But the humor and sarcasm never went to extreme levels and throughout the talk it was balanced by very nuanced statements. A very well balanced talk about life in the OSS trenches. In the past I didn't see "keynote material" in Jordi, but the experience and the years have shaped him. Jordi has become an expert, he has seen some good stuff and bad stuff and DEFINITELY has a right to stand there on stage doing a keynote. Congratulations, enjoyed it a lot! Rick Kuipers at 15:16 on 28 Jun 2015 This keynote made me realized that maintaining an open source project is not just hard work, it's incredibly hard work. It makes me respect all open source maintainers even more. Will definitely be trying even harder for open source contributions. misiaq_com at 21:52 on 28 Jun 2015 A human factor of the open source. Very interesting keynote. James Titcumb at 12:32 on 29 Jun 2015 (via Web2 LIVE) Was looking forward to seeing this talk, and it was great, thanks Jordi. Pieter Meyvaert at 13:45 on 29 Jun 2015 I really, really liked your keynote Jordi! It was very down to earth and brought with enough humor and truths. It showed perfectly what you (or any open source maintainer) has to endure when doing this. It has opened my eyes and now I even have more respect for people like you. It also gave me incentive to go and do some more OSS work in the future. Renan Gonçalves at 14:02 on 29 Jun 2015 It was a good talk. I felt it wasn't particularly inspired after it tho, which should be the outcome of a keynote. JoindIn Doesn't Let You Change Your Username at 16:31 on 29 Jun 2015 Great use of historical tweets! Very inspiring to anyone who has tried to help out open-source but has felt disheartened from the whole process. It was a brilliant end to the whole conference! Mike Simonson at 17:50 on 29 Jun 2015 Awesome delivery and very good approach of your subject IMO. A talk that not only more dev should see, but more people in general. Gary Hockin at 18:19 on 29 Jun 2015 A great talk that gave me plenty of ammunition for future trolling. Thanks Jordi. Eelco Verbeek at 20:05 on 29 Jun 2015 Great ending of the conference. Just the right amounts of jokes, information and personal experience. Although like others said the rhythm or flow can be a bit better I really enjoyed it! Mark Baker at 23:45 on 29 Jun 2015 Jordi managed to convey some of the traumas of tribulations of being involved in an Open Source project with a wry humour (I think he should be made an honourary Briton for that alone), and the type of things that can inspire frustration, anger and burnout... yet also gave insight into how he manages to "survive" the experience. While my own projects are far smaller, I can sympathise with the issues that he raised, even if I only suffer from them on a much smaller scale and less critical than Composer/Packagist... and I can only aspire to be as patient. Jordi, you're a star Sander Zegveld at 08:32 on 1 Jul 2015 A bit disappointing, had expected a great talk but the talk in general was kind of 'down', sadly told, sometimes with humor but most of the time on a negative side... But the general message should be clear: respect people and especially appreciate the work that some people do, and don't react in a negative way on things you would have done otherwise or features you are missing in the software. You can give advice on what to do better or what to add, and on the same time give the creator a good feeling...it should not all be negative. Kuba Waliński at 20:25 on 1 Jul 2015 Interesting talk, but I found the delivery to be a bit off, so I found it difficult to stay on topic at times. Christopher Pitt at 05:12 on 2 Jul 2015 Lovely talk. Melvin louwerse at 09:34 on 2 Jul 2015 Good talk funny at times but it felt a bit slow to me. But it was interesting to see in the kitchen of open source and to see it is not just about the coding. David Buchmann at 08:57 on 6 Jul 2015

679-й транспортный авиационный полк, он же до 14.03.1942 679-й ночной ближнебомбардировочный авиационный полк — воинское подразделение вооружённых СССР в Великой Отечественной войне. Также может встретиться наименование 679-й лёгкий бомбардировочный авиационный полк. История Сформирован в Красноярске из лётчиков-инструкторов Красноярского, Ачинского и Черногорского аэроклубов как 679-й ночной ближнебомбардировочный авиационный полк, однако практически сразу по поступлении в действующую армию перепрофилирован в транспортный авиаполк. На вооружении полка состояли самолёты У-2 В составе действующей армии с 10.03.1942 по 13.01.1945. В основном действовал на кестеньгском направлении Карельского фронта, использовался для транспортировки командного состава, ведения ближней разведки, снабжения как регулярных частей, так и партизан, разведывательных и диверсионных групп. При этом, несмотря на название, вплоть до окончания боевых действий на севере в 1944 году, частично использовался как бомбардировочный полк. Так, весной 1942 года 1-я эскадрилья полка использовалась в боевых действиях в районе Кестеньги, а 2-я осуществляла транспортные перевозки, находясь в распоряжении начальник тылы ВВС Карельсконго фронта. По окончании боевых действий в Заполярье в боях не участвовал. Подчинение По-видимому, в период с июня по декабрь 1944 года входил в состав одной из авиационных дивизий, действовавших в составе 7-й воздушной армии.

MAFS' Lizzie Sobinoff Finally Revealed The Truth About Her Rumoured 6 Figure Show Salary Married at First Sight's darling Lizzie Sobinoff was rumoured to have been paid $100, 000.00 to return to the show for the last season. The rumour shocked many as it's common knowledge now that contestants get a feeble $150 stipend a day for expenses. You might love me, you might hate me but uh, if you are denying that these earrings aren't anything but amazing, you tripping 😂 @apmmonaco @dxd.agency #apmmonaco #jewelry #jewellery #jewelryaddict A post shared by Lizzie Sobinoff (@lizalizzieelizabeth) on May 11, 2020 at 6:39pm PDT Ex-contestants Telv Williams and Nasser Sultan have both come out publicly criticising the amount offered and saying it doesn't cover personal expenses. Lizzie recently addressed these rumours on her Instagram Live Q & A. A fan asked her "Liz, can you dispel the rumours that you got paid on MAFS" and immediately both Seb and Lizzie exclaimed, obviously a little annoyed this was coming up. Lizzie goes on to say "There's no special privileges…none of that", which is in direct opposition to what Mishel had to say on the topic. Mishel Karen, who had an unfortunate run on the show, did an interview with WHO Magazine and said that Lizzie got a TONNE of special privileges. "She didn't do it like us. She did it in first-class while we did it in third class… No, the luggage area of the plane," she told the magazine. I wonder who's telling the truth?

The table is a surface upon which my mother spreads the bounty of weekend trips driving an hour out of the way to a Vietnamese market that was unlike the clean brightly lit Safeway a few miles from our house or the 99 Ranch mega Asian Markets more common in Orange County these days. Often crowded, it was an assault on the senses. An alchemy of strange spices, assorted live or nearly so fish and pungent produce congealed under fluorescent lighting. The market most likely did not comply with Federal or State regulations pertaining to food safety. The table is the shortest distance to the backyard of my first family home. When we moved in, the yard was an overgrown jungle crawling with garter snakes. Mystery monsters lurked in the tall grass, until by some magic, my parents transformed it into organized clusters of cilantro, mint, thai basil, mustard greens, bumpy melons, and a sundry of exotic vegetables I have yet to identify in English. It is an intersection and a cross section. As a family, we do not agree on everything, but when we convene, it is almost always at a table over food, usually food that was prepared together in a small kitchen. The table is a rectangle of plywood stained with used coffee grinds sporting a hinged top allowing for the storage of plates and cloth napkins, and containers for micro-greens that begin to sprout within three days. The obsessive, an excuse to pick at seed shells, spritz away compulsively and snack. The table is an action, ongoing research into the practice and practicalities of food when one lives in a small apartment with little light and no yard. Anyone can construct a table and anyone can sit at a table and anyone is invited to sit at my table, but anyone who comes to sit at my table must bring something.

Staroněmecký voláč je plemeno holuba domácího vyšlechtěné pro okrasný chov. Je to mohutný pták charakteristický velkým, kulovitým voletem, zkrácenýma nohama a vodorovně neseným trupem s velmi dlouhou zadní částí a křídly, které dosahují až na konec ocasu. Trvalé nafouknutí volete jej řadí mezi voláče, mezi nimiž patří mezi ty největší. V seznamu plemen EE je zařazen právě mezi voláče a to pod číslem 0301. Charakteristika Je to holub velkého tělesného rámce, celková délka těla od špičky zobáku až po konec ocasu může činit až 50 cm. Má nízce klenutou hlavu s dobře zakulaceným záhlavím,, zobák je delší, široce nasazený, se slabým ozobím. Oční duhovka je většinou žlutočervená, jen u bílých staroněmeckých voláčů vikvová. Obočnice jsou jen úzké. Krk je velmi dlouhý a poskytuje dostatečný prostor pro obrovské vole kulovitého tvaru, které je ve své dolní části jen lehce podvázané. Trup je mohutný, široký a velmi dlouhý, vodorovně nesený. Křídla jsou velice dlouhá, často zcela nekryjí hřbet a jejich letky dosahují konce ocasu. Měla by být složená na ocase, a ne vlečena po zemi. Ocas je dlouhý a široký, nohy velmi krátké a silné, s neopeřenými běháky. Opeření je dlouhé a volné, jeho zbarvení se hodnotí až na posledním místě, požadovány jsou však syté a čisté barvy.

It is like the current in a river, which pushes us if we flow with it, but opposes if we try to swim against it. So when we are with it, it works in our favor. When we go against it, it opposes us. In either case, it is His grace. There can be sleepiness if you go very deep into meditation. I used to have this problem, and I wrote to Master about it. He answered back that as activity is the life of the body, some sort of inaction is the life of the soul. Therefore, when we go deep into meditation, the life of the soul takes over.

Ireland is an incredibly popular location for so many tourists of all ages. The country is attractive due to its beautiful landscapes, great places to eat and of course, copious amounts of alcohol. Not to forget, Irish people are some of the nicest in the world, and whenever you visit their homeland, they're always sure to make you feel welcome. Anyone who's visited Ireland is sure to have these thoughts after their first trip visiting the Emerald Isle! It's a bit of a stereotype, but you're never far from a tasty portion of hot potatoes in Ireland. Potato soup, potato cake, potato bread and potato casserole – they'll find any way to introduce potatoes to any meal! St. Patrick's Day is famous the world over, and for most, it's an excuse to get incredibly intoxicated. In Ireland this celebration creates a festival feeling around the country, with parades moving around the local towns. Be prepared to see more four-leaf clovers and tricolour flags than ever before in your life. In the UK they have eight days a year which are classed as Bank Holidays which traditionally banks and other businesses closed on. Although most businesses now stay open, it means that everyone still gets extra time off work to party and rest! Before travelling to Ireland, you might have ideas of drinking in pubs and bars with live music playing. Well, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find out that most bars do have great musicians playing live for you to enjoy. Tourists visit Ireland to have a good night out, and the Irish love a wild one too. Fortunately, this means that the town or city you visit will always be busy with a great atmosphere, even on a Monday night! As always, you should be careful not to injure yourself after a drink or two. If you are unlucky and do have an accident, travel insurance will protect you against any medical bills. It's worth investigating cheaper travel insurance quotes from a renowned Irish insurance website like Theaa.ie, for example. We've already discussed that the Irish love potatoes, so it comes as no surprise that Chips Shops are famous all over the country. Perfect for soaking up alcohol or keeping you full when exploring! Most Irish people are situated in or near a City for work. This often means that public transport arrives frequently, so driving isn't anywhere near as popular as it is in other parts of the world. Almost everyone will agree that the Irish accent is lovely to listen. However, some people's accent can be so strong that it's difficult to understand at times. Everyone gets used to it though. Craic is a term often used by the Irish to mean 'dun'. If you're ever described as good craic, it means that you're a good laugh and you should feel honoured. Ireland isn't blessed with great weather due to the natural climate. When the sun does come out, it's mandatory to buy a drink and chill out in a beer garden somewhere. Ireland is a popular travelling destination due to its vibrant culture and laid-back atmosphere. With so many lovely towns and cities located across the country, every tourist should visit at least once in their life.

We are delighted to hear that The Times recently featured an article on our chosen charity, Riders for Health, as part of their Christmas Charity Appeal. Many thanks to Richard George, from Westpoint Peripherals in the UK, who we met in Wells at our fund-raising stall, and who has already generously donated. To read the feature article, click here. To donate, and show your support for us at the same time, click here. The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that we were a bit lax with updates from Namibia and Botswana, but that we've now rectified this situation with 3 new posts about our travels. You may also notice that we appear to have made rapid progress from Zambia. You would be right. Indeed, we have made it through to Egoli, the City of Gold, otherwise known to the rest of the world as Johannesburg, just in time to see Glyn's dad on his birthday and wish him a good one. There's another post yet to be written about the leg which brought us here, but for now we would just like everyone to know that we've made it to here and will probably now take a few days out before doing any more in the way of online communications. However, for those interested in contacting us, we will keep an eye on the site and emails, especially since we're waiting on messages from shipping companies regarding taking the bikes back to the UK. We do also now have an SA cellphone, and are contactable by that means if you email us for the number. Will revise and revamp this post soon. Until then, happy reading! Our flight over the Okavango delta was in the morning, so it was later than normal when we finally set off on our bikes. We were headed for Ghanzi, a town in the middle of the Kalahari. It would appear that someone tried to nick some kit off our bikes, but was thwarted, thank goodness, because we had to stop not long after Maun and adjust the fuel bottles that are on the back of one of Glyn's panniers. One had come loose, which they can't do of their own accord, and was dangling dangerously close to the ground. Bottle adjusted, Glyn rode off, with my gloves perched neatly on the back of his bike. To be fair, I should have left them on mine, but I was incredibly irritated that I couldn't get his attention and get him to stop – even when I was jumping around in the middle of the road, waving my arms like a mad thing. I quickly had to jump on my own and ride after him, watching for flying glove objects as I went. Gloves returned, we carried on, being careful to dodge not only the usual culprits (goats, cattle and donkeys) but also being even more wary than normal of anything which might puncture the tyres. We were about 20 miles away from Ghanzi, passing a tiny place which was not on the map but which the road sign said went by the name of 'Kuke'. Someone had forgotten to heard their cattle, and they were milling about in the road. I'm not sure why, but Glyn took exception to this state of affairs, more so than normal, and pulled a great big whopping zap sign at the locals who were standing around chatting. He said afterwards that he was just really fed up with their attitude, which I think is a fair point, since cattle are such a precious commodity and a sign of wealth as well. I'd just registered this act of irritation, and was braking to avoid the same herd myself, when my bike made an awful clunking noise. Then, when I came to accelerate away, there was no response. Glyn by now was tootling off into the distance. I tried again, but to no avail. I got off my bike, to have a look, dreading that it was the clutch seized up again – the same as it had done on that muddy road from Moyale. I was pretty soon surrounded by onlookers who I was very concerned would want my scalp for the way Glyn had just insulted them. However, I soon realised that they had probably not understood Glyn's insult, as they were far more interested in why I had stopped and offering their assistance, primarily in the form of crowding round to see what was going on. Glyn arrived shortly afterwards, asking what was wrong, and when I said I had no power he got off and had a look himself. Five minutes later, we had figured out the cause of my problem – the nut and washer which hold the sprocket connecting the chain to the drive shaft had rattled loose and eventually fallen off completely. Now, probably due to the force of my braking, the sprocket had become dislodged, and was totally disconnected from the power of the engine. An awful dread flooded through me as I wondered if we were going to be stuck here, in the middle of the Kalahari, with another major problem on our hands. However, thanks to Glyn's ingenuity, and despite my failure to find said nut and washer, we managed to fix the problem. While I took the local kids down the road with me to search for the nut, promising 20 pula to anyone who could find it for us, Glyn scratched his head and came up with an ingenious solution. Using nothing more than a jubilee clip, he reconnected the sprocket to the drive shaft sufficiently firmly for us to make it all the way to Kang, our stop for the night. After checking out the camping facilities at the Kang Ultra Stop, we decided to opt for one of their little wooden cabins rather than camping in the dust bowl that was their camp site. In the evening we had a wonderful time chatting to a group of three chaps who were on their way to Namibia for a week. They were very keen to hear all about our trip, having stopped us earlier at the petrol pump to ask us if we were really from the UK. We swapped stories, and they shared their delicious portuguese BBQ meat with us, so we didn't have to resort to the old faithful of tinned tuna and tomatoe which had been our plan. That night, 'berg pony' really kicked in. We had been planning on one more night's stop, but were both equally anxious to get 'home' to Johannesburg where we both have family and could obtain those scarce luxuries such as a hot showers, a stationary bed and internet access which we'd begun craving over the last few days. Also, we could collect a few spare parts for the bikes, including the nut and washer which we reckoned they'd have in stock, and do a full service on them both. After dinner, we perused the maps and decided that we would try, if we didn't see any reason to stop, to get through to Jo'burg the next day.

Hillary's Charities Will Refile 5 Years Of Taxes - after failing to report "tens of millions" from foreign governments - Once upon a time, when then-NY Fed chief Tim Geithner was angling for a Senate confirmation which would make him Treasury Secretary, things got a bit tense when it was discovered that Geithner failed to pay Medicare and Social Security taxes on the income he earned while working for the IMF from 2001-2004. Basically, Geithner was classified as "self employed" and was thus responsible for making the payments himself but didn't do so, which led to some $17,000 in unpaid taxes in 2003 and 2004. Geithner had previously paid more than $20,000 in back taxes to make up for missed payments in 2001 and 2002, so one might have thought he would check on 2003 and 2004 as well, but apparently some accountant somewhere screwed up — or so the story goes. In any event, it now appears as though Hillary Clinton may be witnessing her "Geithner moment," because as Reuters reports, several Clinton family charities will now refile a half decade worth of returns after failing to report "tens of millions" in contributions from foreign governments. Here's more: Hillary Clinton's family's charities are refiling at least five annual tax returns after a Reuters review found errors in how they reported donations from governments, and said they may audit other Clinton Foundation returns in case of other errors... The charities' errors generally take the form of under-reporting or over-reporting, by millions of dollars, donations from foreign governments, or in other instances omitting to break out government donations entirely when reporting revenue, the charities confirmed to Reuters… The unsettled numbers on the tax returns are not evidence of wrongdoing but tend to undermine the 990s role as a form of public accountability, experts in charity law and transparency advocates interview told Reuters… For three years in a row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years. Those entries were errors, according to the foundation: several foreign governments continued to give tens of millions of dollars toward the foundation's work on climate change and economic development through this three-year period. Those governments were identified on the foundation's annually updated donor list, along with broad indications of how much each had cumulatively given since they began donating. And while the Clinton Foundation says it is exemplary among charities in terms of transparency, that contention will likely be put to the test as scrutiny will no doubt build as Hillary Clinton ramps up her bid for The White House. Perhaps that's why the Foundation isn't ruling out the possibility that it will refile up to 15 years worth of returns: "We are prioritizing an external review to ensure the accuracy of the 990s from 2010, 2011 and 2012 and expect to refile when the review is completed," Craig Minassian, a foundation spokesman, said in an email. The decision to review the returns was made last month following inquiries from Reuters, and the foundation has not ruled out extending the review to tax returns extending back 15 or so years… And as for whether this is something that actually happens all of the time or should be rightfully viewed as an anomalous event: "I've never seen amendment activity like that," said Bruce Hopkins, a Kansas City lawyer who has specialized in charity law for more than four decades." http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-23/hillarys-charities-suffer-geithner-moment-will-refile-5-years-taxes Dog 'drives tractor' onto highway... - Delays were caused on a busy stretch of the M74 motorway after reports of a dog "taking control of a tractor". The incident - highlighted on Twitter by Traffic Scotland - took place at J13 at Abington, South Lanarkshire. It later emerged that a sheepdog called Don, owned by farmer Tom Hamilton, had leaned on the controls of his utility vehicle, taking it on to the road. Police and Mr Hamilton later recovered Don, who was unhurt, and the vehicle, from the central reservation. Mr Hamilton told BBC Scotland that he was out on his off road pick up checking lambs in a field above the M74 near Abington. Farmer relieved As always he was accompanied by his Collie sheepdog Don, who was sitting beside him in the passenger seat. Don the sheepdog Don escaped with little more than a fright While Mr Hamilton was examining a lamb he turned round to see the Gator utility vehicle crashing through the fence and heading down an embankment on to the northbound lane of the M74 with Don still sitting in it. The vehicle stopped after hitting the central barrier, smashing the windscreen. Mr Hamilton said he feared that he had not pulled the handbrake properly and was extremely relieved that no drivers were hurt. The farmer was also relieved that Don escaped with little more than a fright. The episode caused a stir on social media when it was reported by Traffic Scotland at about 08:45 on Wednesday. The transport body tweeted: "M74 (N) J13-RTC due to dog taking control of tractor... nope, not joking. Farmer and police at scene, vehicle in central res." Shortly afterwards Traffic Scotland provided the update: "M74 (N) at J13 - Route is clear from earlier incident and dog is fine. Has to be the weirdest thing we have ever reported! No delays in area." Police said the vehicle had gone through a fence near the motorway at about 08:15. The incident led to plenty of dog puns as people responded to Traffic Scotland's tweets. Tony T wrote: "Police investigating, so far no leads," while Beverley Friend added: "This is barking." Michelle Muirhead asked: "Will the dog have points on his licence? Was he breathalysed? Did police arrest him?" http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-32411621 JPMorgan Chase Bans Storage of Cash in its Safety Deposit Boxes - Some JPMorgan Chase customers are receiving letters informing them that the bank will no longer allow cash to be stored in safety deposit boxes. The content of a post over on the Collectors Universe message board suggests that we may be about to see a resurgence of the old fashioned method of stuffing bank notes under the mattress. My mother has a SDB at a Chase branch with one of my siblings as co-signers. Last week they got a letter outlining a number of changes to the lease agreement, including this: "Contents of the box: You agree not to store any cash or coins other than those found to have a collectible value." Another change is that signatures will no longer be accepted to access the box. The next time they go in they have to bring two forms of ID and they will be issued a four-digit pin number that will be used to access the box then and in the future. The letter, entitled "Updated Safe Deposit Box Lease Agreement," was sent out to customers at the beginning of the month. "Hide your wallets, the banksters are on the move," warns the Economic Policy Journal. As of last month, Chase has also instituted a new policy which, "restricts borrowers from using cash to make payments on credit cards, mortgages, equity lines, and auto loans," writes Professor Joseph Salerno of the Mises Institute. The news arrives on the back of comments by Citi's Willem Buiter, who recently advocated abolishing cash altogether in order to "solve the world's central banks' problem with negative interest rates". Last month we also reported on how the Justice Department is ordering bank employees to consider calling the cops on customers who withdraw $5,000 dollars or more. Efforts to impose restrictions on the use of cash by banks are seen by many as an attack on anonymity and an example of how financial institutions are positioning themselves to handle the fallout of the next economic crash – at the expense of customers. According to reports which emerged last year, HSBC is now interrogating its account holders in the UK on how they earn and spend their money as well as restricting large cash withdrawals for customers from £5000 upwards. Banks in the U.S. are also making it harder for customers to withdraw and deposit cash, with Chase imposing new capital controls that mandate identification for cash deposits and ban cash being deposited into another person's account. In October 2013, we also covered policy changes instituted by Chase which banned international wire transfers while restricting cash activity for business customers (both deposits and withdrawals) to a $50,000 limit per statement cycle. Last month, French Finance Minister Michel Sapin hailed the introduction of measures set to come into force in September which will restrict French citizens from making cash payments over €1,000 euros. http://www.infowars.com/report-jpmorganchase-bans-storage-of-cash-in-its-safety-deposit-boxes/ Automakers want to OUTLAW Gearheads from working on their own cars - seek copyright restrictions to stop home mechanics - Automakers want to OUTLAW Gearheads from working on their own cars - seek copyright restrictions to stop car enthusiasts, home mechanics - Claiming that modern vehicles are "too complex" for home mechanics to fix, automakers are seeking copyright restrictions to prevent gearheads from working on their own cars. The Association of Global Automakers, a lobbying firm for 12 manufacturers, is asking the U.S. Copyright Office to prevent car owners from accessing "computer programs that control the functioning of a motorized land vehicle, including personal automobiles, commercial motor vehicles, and agricultural machinery, for purposes of lawful diagnosis and repair, or aftermarket personalization, modification, or other improvement." "In order to modify automotive software for the purpose of 'diagnosis and repair, or aftermarket personalization, modification, or other improvement,' the modifier must use a substantial amount of the copyrighted software – copying the software is at issue after all, not wholly replacing it," the AGA claimed. "Because the 'heart,' if not the entirety, of the copyrighted work will remain in the modified copy, the amount and substantiality of the portion copied strongly indicates that the proposed uses are not fair." Auto Alliance, which also represents 12 automobile manufacturers, is also asking the agency to scrap exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that allow car enthusiasts to modify and tune their rides. "Allowing vehicle owners to add and remove [electronic control] programs at whim is highly likely to take vehicles out of compliance with [federal] requirements, rendering the operation or re-sale of the vehicle legally problematic," Auto Alliance claimed in a statement. "The decision to employ access controls to hinder unauthorized 'tinkering' with these vital computer programs is necessary in order to protect the safety and security of drivers and passengers and to reduce the level of non-compliance with regulatory standards." But people have been working on their own cars since cars were invented. "It's not a new thing to be able to repair and modify cars," a staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Kit Walsh, said. "It's actually a new thing to keep people from doing it." Interestingly, this attack on the do-it-yourself auto hobby coincides with the current push towards self-driving cars, and who do you think will resist autonomous cars the most? Auto hobbyists, such as hot rodders, drag racers and home tuners. "The biggest threat to our hobby is those people in powerful situations who's idea of a great day out in their car is to spend it riding in the back seat while someone else handles the driving 'chore' for them," a hot rodder said on the subject. "These are the same people who will ban 'old junk' from the roads, enforce '50 miles per gallon' standards on new, and then older vehicles, and eventually force everyone to drive 'standardized' cars that will fit precisely in parking spaces, take up the minimum space on public roads, and follow all the 'environmentally friendly' buzz words while boring real car drivers like us to death." And the first step to keep people from behind the steering wheel is to keep them from opening the hood. http://www.infowars.com/automakers-want-to-outlaw-gearheads-from-working-on-their-own-cars/ Too many vitamins can Give you CANCER, major new study warns the millions who take them - Vitamin warning: Too many can give you cancer Taking extra vitamins "does more harm than good" and increases the risk of cancer and heart disease, a major study has revealed. Around 18 million Brits down supplements thinking they are getting a health boost, but research has found they can have the opposite effect. Dr Tim Byers – one of the world's top cancer experts – examined research papers spanning 30 years. He looked at three widely taken ­over-the-counter pills and supplements, vitamin E tablets, beta-carotene and folic acid, and warned against exceeding the recommended daily amount. Dr Byers said: "We are not sure why this is happening but evidence shows that people who take more dietary supplements than needed tend to have a higher risk of developing cancer. "When we first tested dietary supplements in animal models we found that the results were promising. GettyMiddle-aged woman taking vitamin or mineral supplement capsuleWarning: Too many vitamins can give you cancer "Eventually we were able to move on to humans. We studied thousands of patients for 10 years who were taking dietary supplements and placebos. "We found that the supplements were actually not beneficial for their health. In fact, some people actually got more cancer while on the vitamins." Folic acid supplements are thought to be taken by more than 230,000 pregnant UK women each year as it can help prevent spina bifida and other birth defects affecting the brain and spine. But one study examined by Dr Byers' team found too much increased the chances of getting cancer by 56%. The acid – also known as vitamin – is also taken to cut the risk of heart disease and polyps in a colon, which lead to cancer. But the research found too much in supplement form in fact increased the number of dangerous polyps. Two trials of beta-carotene supplements found taking more than the recommended dose increased the risk of developing lung cancer and heart disease by 20%. Meanwhile another trial of 35,000 people between 2001 and 2014 in the States found taking too many vitamin E tablets increased the risk of developing prostate cancer by 17%. Dr Byers, associate director for prevention and control at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, US, began his study after it emerged two decades ago that people eating more fruit and vegetables were less likely to get cancer. He wanted to see if vitamin supplements – now an estimated £385million market in the UK – would reduce the threat of the killer disease even further. But long term studies since the 1980s have found taking too many has the opposite effect. One trial found the chances of lung cancer increased by 18% while another showed an rise of 28%. Dr Byers said: "We have discovered that taking extra vitamins and minerals do more harm than good." He added that most people got their daily recommended doses of vitamins and minerals by eating healthy meals. He said: "This is not to say that people need to be afraid of taking vitamins and minerals. If taken at the correct dosage multivitamins can be good for you. "But there is no substitute for good food." Folic acid is naturally found in green veg such as broccoli. Vitamin E is found in foods such as kale and almonds and is taken to boost the immune system. And Beta-carotene – an antioxidant taken to cut the risk of heart disease and cancer – is found in carrot and mango. The findings will be presented a US cancer summit this year. Top UK nutritionist Dr Carina Norris insisted the problem lies with people exceeding the recommended dose. She said: "GPs recommend folic acid to reduce the risk of birth defects and this is not some weird, wacky supplement. "But I think there is an assumption that if a nutrient is good for you, then more is better. "But in some cases increasing the dose can increase the risk of cancer and other diseases." In 2012 market research firm Mintel found 35% of the adult population took health supplements, although that had fallen from 41% in 2008. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/science/many-vitamins-can-give-you-5556383 Day After Obama Removes Cuba from Terror Sponsor List, Terror Group Sponsored by Cuba Kills 10 - Yesterday, President Barack Obama announced that the United States would be removing Cuba from the U.S. State Sponsors of Terror list as part of his push to normalize relations with the communist dictatorship. But just hours later, a terror group long fostered by Cuba — even today, the Castro brothers are harboring several wanted members of the group — murdered 10 Colombian soldiers and wounded 17 others in a terror attack on a military base. Reported Agence France Presse: Ten Colombia soldiers killed in apparent FARC attack Ten soldiers were killed and 17 injured in western Colombia Wednesday, in a dawn attack on an army garrison that officials blamed on leftist FARC guerrillas. The attack occurred in a small town in Cauca province, governor Temistocles Ortega told Blu radio, adding that four of the injured soldiers are in serious condition. The Cauca region has been a stronghold for the rebel fighters, who are in peace talks with the Bogota government to end more than a half-century of hostilities. "This is precisely the war that we are trying to end," President Juan Manuel Santos said on Twitter. The FARC in December declared a unilateral ceasefire, which it has said was meant to advance the negotiations, which have been under way since November 2012. The Colombian government last month temporarily halted air raids against the Marxist rebels. The five-decade-long conflict has killed more than 200,000 people and uprooted more than five million. Yesterday, in an article titled "Why Cuba Was, And Must Remain, On Terror List," PJ Media's Henry Gomez reported that Cuba has not changed its policy of fueling and defending leftist terror whatsoever since they were initially placed on the list. Wrote Gomez: The Castro brothers continue to harbor international terrorists from Spain's Basque separatist group ETA and Colombia's Marxist rebels FARC, as well as American domestic terrorists from groups like the Black Liberation Army. Nothing has really changed on this front. It's estimated that 70 U.S. fugitives are being harbored by Cuba, including Joanne Chesimard (AKA "Assata Shakur"), a convicted cop killer. Apologists for the Castro regime try to argue that Cuba does not meet the criteria of state sponsor of terrorism via technicalities. They insist that the Basque terrorists in Cuba are a matter for Spain to resolve bilaterally with Cuba, and that the FARC terrorists don't count because Cuba is hosting peace talks between FARC and the Colombian government, and that Chesimard doesn't qualify as a terrorist because she didn't kill a civilian, conflating a police officer with a member of uniformed armed forces in a declared war. Needless to say, the straws they grasp at paint no more of a flattering picture of the totalitarian dictatorship they defend, which is in its sixth decade. Gomez is correct in his description of the apologists' behavior as "grasping at straws." Harboring terrorists matches the qualifications required for the list, as this act was specifically included in every yearly report dating back to Cuba's being placed on the list in 1982. For example, see this State Department report from 2012: Cuba was designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1982. Reports in 2012 suggested that the Cuban government was trying to distance itself from Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) members living on the island by employing tactics such as not providing services including travel documents to some of them. The Government of Cuba continued to provide safe haven to approximately two dozen ETA members. In past years, some members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) were allowed safe haven in Cuba and safe passage through Cuba. In November, the Government of Cuba began hosting peace talks between the FARC and Government of Colombia. There was no indication that the Cuban government provided weapons or paramilitary training to terrorist groups. The Cuban government continued to harbor fugitives wanted in the United States. The Cuban government also provided support such as housing, food ration books, and medical care for these individuals. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has identified Cuba as having strategic anti-money laundering/combating the financing of terrorism deficiencies. In 2012, Cuba became a member of the Financial Action Task Force of South America against Money Laundering, a FATF-style regional body. With this action, Cuba has committed to adopting and implementing the FATF Recommendations. http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2015/04/15/day-after-obama-removes-cuba-from-terror-sponsor-list-terror-group-sponsored-by-cuba-kills-10/ Leaked Document From Mayor to Police: Your Paycheck Depends on How Many Tickets You Write - Edmundson, MO– While police and their supporters continue to insist that police are out there keeping our streets safe, an internal document sent from the Edmundson Mayor John Gwaltney implies otherwise. The letter, which was included with the paychecks of the town's police officers, spells out in very plain terms their actual role in the community – extorting money for the state. In the document obtained by ThinkProgress, the mayor is careful to point out that the town does not have quotas. He states that he only wants "good tickets" written but adds that he is still very disappointed that the Department had been extorting fewer people. Gwaltney goes on to threaten the officers' bank accounts, stating; "The tickets that you write do add to the revenue on which the P.D. budget is established and will directly affect pay adjustments at budget time." He doesn't stop with their pay, either, the mayor then goes on to imply that the officers benefits may be in danger, should they not get their ticket production up by budget time. "It has always been the desire of myself and the Board to provide a safe and pleasant work place with good compensation and benefits for everyone. However, our ability to continue doing this is being compromised by your work slow down. I realize that your work production records are directly effected by many extenuating circumstances and those factors are always accounted for as your work records are reviewed by myself and human resources," the mayor warns. One fifth of Edmundson's population is below poverty level, and the town collects 35% of its revenue from tickets and fines. While departments will usually deny quotas exist, more and more police have been admitting to their existence, despite the careful wording to leave enough wiggle room for plausible deniability. However, just last week we reported on "the world's worst cop" who also admitted to the use of quotas and was captured on video. "This is the last day of the month. I get every stat I need just off of you guys," says the officer as he begins his rights violating confession. "So you guys gotta make quota, huh?" asks the detained teen. "We don't have a quota. We have expectations. And what that means is, you will make so many arrests a month, you should write so many tickets a month, and you should haul so many dumbasses to jail a month. If we're gonna pay you $100,000 a year, we should expect something back from you, shouldn't we?" says the officer. When the man replies, 'yes' that he understands what the officer just said, the cop then asks, "Would you like to be part of my quota tonight?" The young man then asks the cop, "On what grounds [would you arrest me]?" To which the cop replies, "'On what grounds?' Oh, I don't know, I'll think of something. How about aiding and abetting reckless driving?" There is no money in solving murders and rape cases, but pursuing victimless crimes such a minor traffic violations and catching a kid with a joint provide a steady stream of revenue for the city. Protect and serve, or stalk and extort? Perhaps it is time to change that motto. http://thefreethoughtproject.com/internal-document-mayor-police-paycheck-depends-tickets-write/ US Police Kill More Civilians In March Than UK Police Killed In 100 Years - The following statistics seem impossible to believe. While I wonder how accurately the UK has been tracking these numbers historically, the enormous spread seems much too large to ignore, and is a national embarrassment that should be dealt with immediately. From the Free Thought Project: A new report by ThinkProgress.com unearthed disturbing figures when it came to the number of police-related deaths that occurred in America in the month of March alone. Just last month, in the 31 days of March, police in the United States killed more people than the UK did in the entire 20th century. In fact, it was twice as many; police in the UK only killed 52 people during that 100 year period. According to the report by ThinkProgess, in March alone, 111 people died during police encounters — 36 more than the previous month. This high number in March increased the average for police killings from every 8.5 hours, to nearly 1 police killing every 6.5 hours in the US. China, whose population is 4 and 1/2 times the size of the United States, recorded 12 killings by law enforcement officers in 2014. On average, US police kill people at a rate 70 times higher than any of the other first world countries as they "protect and serve" the American citizens. This is not what freedom looks like. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-08/us-police-kill-more-civilians-march-uk-police-killed-100-years BMW 'Crash-Proof' Car Automatically Brakes... - Drive full throttle at wall, will stop inches away... - More than 90 percent of auto-related crashes are due to human error: a distraction, a mistake. With its new "Active Assist" technology, BMW is trying to do everything it can to take those errors out of the equation. Using laser sensors, the system effectively keeps a 360-degree vigil and will automatically and gently brake before a vehicle hits any stationary object. If you drive full throttle at a wall, Active Assist will stop mere inches away, without the driver touching the brakes. While collision-avoidance systems are not new—many cruise-controls automatically slow down when you close too fast on the car in front—BMW's sensors keep track of walls, columns, and other stationary objects, constantly redrawing a map of the surrounding area. The next step for BMW now is moving objects, which would involve developing algorithms to show not only where a cyclist or car is, but where they will be. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-06/bmw-s-new-sensors-do-the-braking-for-you Canadian woman is 3-point-shooting champ of the NCAA. Full stop. Not just in women's, but in all of college basketball - Canadian Cassandra Brown is the three-point-shooting champion of the NCAA. Full stop. Not just in the women's category, but in all of college basketball. The Vernon, B.C.-born guard from the University of Portland beat all female challengers in the NCAA's three-point-shooting contest on Thursday. Then, to test her mettle, organizers put the 22-year-old up against men's champion, Kevin Pangos, a Gonzaga star from Holland Landing, Ont. And she beat him, too. Brown drained nine straight baskets and 21 overall from outside the three-point arch to edge Pangos, who fell short with 20 successful shots in the one-minute contest. "I feel like it was a dream," Brown told CTV Vancouver afterward. Brown's father, Robb, said it was "any dad's dream to see his daughter beat the guy in the final." Brown's parents couldn't watch the competition on TV in Canada, so they drove five hours from B.C. to Washington to watch it at a sports bar. Brown's mother, Bonny, said everyone in the bar was celebrating when her daughter won the competition. "Everybody was screaming and cry and cheering, and she was just knocking them down one after another," Bonny Brown said. Cassandra Brown was a last-minute addition to the competition, and she says she didn't have any time to prepare for it. "It was kind of nerve-wracking because I hadn't practiced or anything," she said. Brown recently wrapped up her fourth year at Portland, where she led the college team in scoring the last two seasons. http://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/canadian-woman-wins-ncaa-three-point-contest-against-men-1.2311860 Watching too much TV can give you diabetes - Scientists found that an average day's viewing increases the chance of developing the condition by nearly 14 per cent. It means that couch potatoes could be sending themselves to an early grave. But a few simple lifestyle changes such as exercising, eating a healthy diet and reducing inactivity could help slash the chance of being struck by the condition. The study stated: "Future lifestyle intervention programmes should emphasise reducing television watching and other sedentary behaviours in addition to increasing physical activity." The research, carried out in the US, looked at data from more than 3,000 overweight adults on a Type 2 diabetes prevention programme. They were given either a placebo, the drug metformin – which is used to treat diabetes – or took part in a lifestyle intervention scheme. Researchers looked at whether, as well as increasing activity levels, lifestyle intervention also made those taking part spend less time sitting. They found that the risk of developing diabetes increased by around 3.4 per cent for each hour spent watching TV, with the more watched the greater the risk. Official figures show the average UK adult watches four hours of television a day, meaning the risk goes up by 13.6 per cent. Lead author Bonny Rockette- Wagner, of the University of Pittsburgh, said: "Our finding of a relationship between sedentary behaviour and diabetes incidence means that reductions in sitting can translate into a positive health effect separate from improvements to moderate-vigorous activity like brisk walking." With better awareness of sitting behaviours and efforts to reduce sitting, it may be possible to have an even greater impact, she added. We need to do more in our prevention efforts to include sitting as a modifiable risk factor for diabetes development, especially in those who are at high risk. Dr Andrea Kriska Before the trial, all three groups said they spent an average of around two hours and 20 minutes a day watching TV. But the researchers found that while the placebo and metformin groups reduced their daily TV watching by an average of just nine and six minutes respectively, those taking part in the lifestyle scheme cut their sitting and watching time by an average 37 minutes a day. It was noted that subsequent changes in body weight may account for some of the relationship between sitting behaviour changes and diabetes development. Senior author Dr Andrea Kriska, whose findings are published in the journal Diabetologia, said: "We want people to be aware of the fact that sitting is another modifiable risk factor for diabetes. "It is important for people to become aware of how much time they spend sitting and to find ways to reduce their overall sitting time. "It is really about being aware of all your modifiable behaviours and making changes that make the most sense for you." Richard Elliott, research communications manager at Diabetes UK, said: "We already know that more physical activity and spending less time seated, along with eating a healthy balanced diet, are the best ways to prevent Type 2 diabetes." He added that while the study did not directly compare the impact of watching TV with the impact of other seated activities such as reading or commuting, "it still adds to evidence that less time spent sitting helps to reduce your risk of this condition". http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/567838/couch-potato-diabetes-risk Hillary's Charities Will Refile 5 Years Of Taxes -...

Wow, it's been four weeks since I've put up a blog post! Same old excuse. Really busy. I have been running though! A few highlights from my last weeks of running. Since it's been so long it's not a picture of the week! This isn't a running picture, but it's one of my favorite pictures I took all month. This is my mare Sasha patiently waiting for me to hang turn ribbons at an intersection of trail. Ran 44 miles total, so I got all my runs in. My 5 mile tempo run turned into a 7 mile tempo run because it was a cool day and I just kept running. My long run (12 miles) and a 6 mile easy run were on trail. Only one treadmill run this week and a 3 x 2 mile tempo run in the rain wrapped up my week. Walking from our truck to the show! This was such a great week for me personally. Maybe not so great for running mileage, though! On Sunday, several of my family got to see Cavalia in Nashville. It was such a great show! We had a wonderful lunch at Romano's Macaroni Grill before and some ice cream after. Wonderful horses, amazing acrobats, good food and some of my favorite family to spend it with??? Absolutely wonderful! Monday, I went to run the Franklin Classic 10k. I usually run the 10k AND the 5k, but this year, for some unknown reason, the 5k was starting an hour later than usual. I run slow enough that, in previous years, running the 10k gave me about 10-15 minutes to change my racing bib before the 5k started. They also removed packet pickup on Friday, so I had to go early on race day to get my t-shirt and race bibs. The t-shirt I got was ginormous! So huge! Supposed to be a medium, but it's so huge, I think Daniel can wear it. All in all, a not so pleasant experience with the "extras" of a race. My plan was to run my own warm-up, then run the 10k at my half marathon tempo pace, since Monday is Tempo day for me. I ran a 2 mile warm-up by running up to Pinkerton Park and through their paved trails before running back to the start line. I seeded myself much further up in the pack than I usually do. I have a tendency to seed too far back these days and get stuck behind walkers and strollers. I ended up a little too close to the front, but I tucked myself into the far right lane and let people flow around me until I was running the same speed as the people around me. One of these days, I'll figure it out. My target pace was 11:50/mi, give or take. My first mile was 11:03. Oops. Slow it down. I managed to slow to 11:24 for the second mile, but began passing people already who went out way too fast the first mile. I was too fast my first mile also, but I was by no means used up. My 3rd mile had a couple small hills in it and I just motored up the hills, passing more people while they walked up hill and even more people as I cruised down the other side. 11:13 for the third mile. By the fourth mile, I was running with people who were still holding their pace or had slowed down to their pace and I didn't pass many people in that mile. 11:22 for that mile. Mile 5 had some mild downhill and I used that to my advantage to do an 11:15 mile. I had pretty much abandoned the idea of running 11:50/mi! I was running well, my breathing was fine. On the flat, I was running around my tempo pace. On the up hill, I was only a few seconds slower and on the downhill a good deal faster. My HR was only a bit higher than a normal tempo run. So while I was running faster than I planned, my body felt ready for it, so I made the decision to just keep going. I was pretty sure I wasn't going to PR, but I let myself run a bit faster on the 6th mile for 10:50, again using downhill to my advantage and passing a few people in this mile. After the 6th mile, I let go and sprinted the finish for an average of 8:13 for that last quarter mile. And came in just under 1:10. A PR! When I was going to just go do a tempo run. Haha. I kept running and retraced my warm up for a cool down at an easy pace, reliving the race and deciding that while I had PRed, I hadn't run too fast. I felt good and my HR recovered very quickly. On Tuesday, we left for vacation at the annual Big South Fork endurance ride. Daniel takes care of the water and I volunteer to mark trail. This means a lot of time on my horse, Sasha, putting out ribbons on trees for the riders to follow to keep them on trail. Since I spend a lot of miles, Sasha and I don't get to compete this ride. We just volunteer. Tuesday it rained and rained and rained after we got parked. We decided not to do any trail marking that day and I decided to hang out with my friends and go to supper rather than go for a run in the rain. So it ended up a pure rest day. Wednesday, I got up and did an easy 6 miles on the gravel road that bisected our endurance camp before starting my trail marking duties. My view for many miles and hours from the back of Sasha. Over the next 5 days I spent 105+ miles on horseback. 41 miles on Sasha marking trail, 16 miles unmarking trail, and 50 miles on Friday doing the endurance ride on a friend's mare. Diane knew I couldn't compete Sasha because of marking the trail, so she graciously offered me Sunshine to ride! I couldn't resist and was completely grateful for the opportunity! Sunshine was a good horse, taking the hills in stride and carried me to a 10th place finish on a tough trail! So while I only ran 16 miles during week 13, I rode 91 miles on horseback. If you've never done an endurance ride before, trust me, that works the legs! Me after a cold long run! Back to my regular schedule! I rode Sasha 16 miles on Sunday pulling ribbons I'd put up before the endurance ride, but after that, it was back to the pavement or trail for running. My Monday tempo run was tough on sore and tired legs! But I managed to keep to pace and did my entire 6 miles. Back to Bowie Nature Park for my 12.5 mile long run on muddy trails in drizzling rain, a couple of easy runs on the treadmill and a repeat of my 3 x 2 mile strength run rounded out my 44 mile week. Finally up to the current week! I did a couple of easy boring 6 mile treadmill runs on Tuesday and Thursday. I really need to get another 6 mile program. I'm bored with the one I have. My adorable 22 week old kittens. Coltrane up top and Snowball below. Wednesday was my long run. I had to drop off my kittens to get neutered, so I ran around Franklin for 11 miles. I had a course all mapped out and loaded onto my 935. First issue, it was really hot and I forgot my handheld water bottle at the truck. I didn't realize until I was almost 2 miles into the run (when I wanted that first drink...) and I wasn't going to go back to get it. I knew I could get water along my route, but I had thought I'd use that for refilling, not for the entire water for my run. Second issue, my 935 crashed during the course, so I had to reset it. Fortunately, the watch didn't lose the first part of my run. So I canceled the course and continued running. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the GPS didn't lock on! So I ran almost a half mile before it beeped and said it found the GPS signal. Ugh. So I lost 1/2 mile. Of course that half mile is not counted in my weekly total since I have no proof! Not the end of the world, but annoying. Third issue, I twisted my left ankle pretty badly while trying to walk along the side of a busy road without a shoulder or a sidewalk. That was not fun. I had to walk for about 1/3 of a mile before I felt I could jog on it. It was ok, but still hurt a bit the rest of the run and I had to ice it for the next 2 days (although I did do my other runs on it). Fourth issue! I had mapped out a course that included no sidewalk for over a mile! Where I twisted my ankle, I knew had no sidewalk, but it was only a short stretch and I was ok with that. But I thought there was sidewalk on the rest of the course. Nope. So I had to walk close to the busy road, but in the grass and uneven terrain with a twisted ankle. Really brought my average pace down. This was a slight downhill and should have been a joy to run. But there were not any convenient back roads that I could use to cut through. I breathed a sigh of relief when I got back to the sidewalk! All in all, it was an...ok...run. I got it done. It was supposed to be a 10 mile run, but was 11 (really 11.5...). And it was well within my long run pace range. Since it was a one-time thing, I don't have to figure out how to fix the course. I'll just let it go. I run to eat!!! Post long run meal! After my run, I cleaned up with no rinse bath wipes and no rinse shampoo and found a local eatery to work while I waited for the kittens to be ready to come home. Friday was another strength run. 4 x 1.5 miles with a 1/2 mile recovery. I did a 1 mile warm up and 2 miles cool down. This was a good run. I took a bit to settle into my breathing, but I hit my paces pretty well and felt pretty good. 42 more miles in the books. More running, but I'm getting closer! My half marathon is on October 15. I have 4 extra days in my training cycle. I do not want to just add 4 days of easy running to my taper, so I need to figure out where to put them before the taper and what workouts to do.

Story: (The Lost Bladesman) The film opens with a scene of Cao Cao attending Guan Yu's funeral — Guan's severed head is buried with a wooden statue in place of his body. The scene flashbacks to 20 years before: After Guan Yu had been separated from his sworn brother Liu Bei, he temporarily served Cao Cao while he waited for news of Liu's whereabouts. At the Battle of Baima between Cao Cao and his rival Yuan Shao, Guan Yu slew Yuan's general Yan Liang and lifted the siege on Baima. As a reward, Cao Cao suggested to Emperor Xian to grant Guan Yu a marquis title and promote him to a higher rank.

Good Thursday morning friends!! Today and tomorrow I will be sharing our master bedroom and family room with you, the way it looked decorated for winter. This last week I did a major purge/refresh and I'll be sharing all about it next week including some answers to questions I get asked often, something like a 3 part series! But for today its all about the master bedroom!! For our bedroom I chose to keep the white bedding I used for Christmas on our bed. To me it had winter written all over it! I love how fresh the white bedding makes the room feel. Like a blanket of snow 😉 I also switched out our pillow covers with a more light and neutral color. The gray striped covers and the Hardware Supply cover were all purchased here. I bought them about a year ago but H&M always has super cute pillow covers on their website!!! Our bed is from Target and I did a little review on it here if you'd like to read more about it. We've owned almost 6 months now and the review is still the same! As you can see, I also left our flocked trees up. I felt like they were the perfect touch to make our home feel like winter!! Another way I focused on bringing the winter feel to our décor was by adding more blankets throughout. I chose again to use light and neutral pieces. Again this keeps the space feeling light and fresh. Our flocked trees this year are from Walmart and Target. The little ones were purchased in the dollar spot and I flocked them myself, using a can of 'snow spray' I picked up at Hobby Lobby. The large 6ft tree in our master was purchased at Walmart for $30. Its a pre-flocked non-lit tree. We just added a couple strands of white wire lights which you can see in the photo. This year is the first year I have ever used flocked trees, had a tree in our bedroom or even decorated our bedroom for a holiday. I have to say it was a lot of fun and I plan to continue doing it each year. The mantel didn't get much of a change. I simply removed the red banner and reindeer sign adding this little snowflake sign from my friend Laney. You can find all of her work here. I left the mistletoe sign up because to be honest, I didn't have another large sign that felt like winter…next year! The tree here is from Hobby Lobby and again I added my own flock using the spray!! If you missed it from an early post, the white houses were found in the target dollar spot and the pre-flocked garland was found at Walmart. Transitioning our home from Christmas to Winter was fairly easy due to the fact that most of our Christmas décor was neutral. I didn't go buy new pieces to make this transition, I simply used the décor from Christmas that wasn't red and didn't say Christmas or anything related to Santa on it. It also made it easy adding in pieces we already had in our home. Using the neutral pieces like throws and pillow covers really helped achieve the final look of a cozy winter in our space. Candles are another great item to use for this look, I've added lots of white candles to our décor!! Also just clearing out some of the 'stuff' that piles up around the house, on counters, end tables and such, helps to freshen up the space. I am looking for your post about your barn door in your master bedroom. I remember there was a link to the hardware used for the barn door as well as an inexpensive way to create the barn door. I can't find it and we are totally ready to build it! Help! Where did you get the roman numeral dates artwork? It was a DIY sign I made using plywood and 1/2's for the frame! Hi! My name is Misty, I'm 31 years old, a stay at home mom of three, we are a homeschool family and I've been married to my amazing husband for 10 years. I love Fall, cool crisp mornings, blankets, pillows...but most of all, COFFEE! Here on the blog I share DIY projects that I love, home décor and some lifestyle things like cleaning schedules, products I love using and so on. The nitty gritty of the home next to the pretty stuff. I hope you all enjoy reading my blog as much as I love sharing it with you! Our Rast Dresser Ikea Hack & an awesome GIVEAWAY!!

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Following brief training, an Australian workplace Return to Work (RTW) Coordinator is expected to provide information to the injured worker, liaise with key stakeholders and maintain workplace policies and procedures in accordance with legislative requirements. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to provide insights into the experiences and perceptions of the Australian Workplace RTW Coordinator in relation to current training practices and to identify any existing inadequacies within the available training. METHOD: Twenty-five workplace RTW Coordinators from five Australian states participated in six focus groups.Participants with a minimum of two years' experience as a workplace RTW Coordinator and involved with the development and implementation of workplace policies and procedures, were included in the study. Thematic analysis was performed to identity meaningful themes and patterns. RESULTS: The findings highlighted specific training requirements and additional support mechanisms recommended by current workplace RTW Coordinators. Four key themes clearly emerged: inadequate training; irrelevant content; the need for specialised trainers; and network support services. CONCLUSION: RTW Coordinators require effective training and support to ensure the appropriate and timely delivery of services to all stakeholders involved in the RTW process. The results of this study may inform future training practices for RTW Coordinators.

LOS ANGELES — Alana Evans has released her newest single "Make You Love Me" a dance-pop number that is now making the rounds on Internet radio stations. The 17-year veteran adult performer, avid gamer and writer says she has spent the majority of 2014 holed up in the recording studio, working with Murv Douglas from Lords Of Acid. "Singing is my ultimate passion," Evans said. "I love my career in adult, gaming and all the other things that I do, but when I am in the recording studio it really just allows me to be myself. Writing music and singing has always been a huge part of my life, and it is great to see the response so far from fans as well as people that weren't familiar with me before reaching out because they heard my music." "Make You Love Me" is being independently released and can currently be heard on Jango. The single is scheduled for wide release on July 4, at which point it will become available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and elsewhere. The single marks Evans' second collaboration with Douglas. She originally made her public singing debut in 2012, collaborating with Douglas and Lords Of Acid on the single "Pop That Tooshie." The song peaked at number three on Amazon's Dance Chart. Evans also starred in the music video, which features cameos from other well-known adult stars.

The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) have hit a home run again with their new road safety campaign on the benefits of the wire rope life-saving barriers. Many have been sceptical and the jury's still out somewhat with regards to some of the positioning of the barriers however, as the evidence clearly shows, it is a system that simply works. The campaign is compiled of videos that are some real life experiences and examples plus some awesome behind the scenes videos. A new Transport Accident Commission campaign starting this weekend will show the lifesaving capabilities of flexible safety barriers. At the forefront of the campaign is footage of a controlled collision with a centreline barrier on a high-speed regional road, which replicates a common fatigue crash. The campaign, Safety Barriers Save Lives, also features testimonials from two of the thousands of Victorians who have avoided serious crashes thanks to flexible safety barriers. TAC Road Safety Director Samantha Cockfield joined VicRoads deputy CEO Robyn Seymour to launch the new public education campaign in Ballarat today. A new television ad, voiced over by a real crash survivor, shows footage of a centre-line barrier absorbing the forces of a Ford Territory travelling at 90 km/h, preventing a head-on collision. The vehicle, driven by a stunt driver, hits the barrier and slows by 32 km/h in six metres before the driver applies brakes, as if waking up from a micro sleep, and brings the vehicle to a safe and controlled stop. Last year, 109 of the 155 people who died on Victorian rural roads were in vehicles that left their lane and crashed into roadside trees or poles, or another vehicle. Research shows flexible barriers reduce these types of crashes from happening by more than 85%. Ms Cockfield said the campaign would create greater public awareness and understanding of barriers, and provide researchers with new insights into how barriers work in a common crash scenario. "Showing the public footage of how these barriers work will help us continue to educate Victorians that zero lives lost is possible, which is what Towards Zero is all about," Ms Cockfield said. Ms Seymour said it was important for all Victorians to see how flexible safety barriers work when mistakes happened on the roads. "The lane departure crashes that these safety barriers prevent are the number one cause of death on regional Victorian roads. I assume they reason that a few deaths of motorcyclists. just not worth the extra cost of a barrier that wouldn't slice up riders like a cheese grater?

When we design objects such as furniture, joinery and buildings - in fact, almost anything with utility - we attempt to anticipate the circumstances of its use and shape the object or form accordingly. We all know this, and assume that it should be so. It is certainly a practical approach; and yet, no matter how hard we try to anticipate the future lives of our design products, the attempt frequently fails, in part if not in whole. Our world is littered with the fecund evidence of such failures, scattered about our lives like so much fallen and rotting fruit. The question I am interested in is this: what becomes of these failures? The language of design is imbued with morality. We hear of 'good' design and 'bad' design, rather than 'useful' or 'useless'. The greater good is always assumed to be design that is fit for its purpose - design like a glove that fits a hand. Anything bad, on the other hand, is summarily dismissed from consideration. Nevertheless, if you look carefully at these mistakes - these orphans of intention - they possess shape, form, colour and materiality. They typically also have pattern and proportion, scale and very possibly a mysterious utility outside of their original intended purpose. In fact, these errors possess all the qualities of their more successful cousins, the 'correctly' designed element; they have merely been cut loose from their moorings, drifting from their intended purpose into a no-man's land of extraneous or needless things. The example shown below is a perfectly round hole cut through a serving bench at a local café. The hole was evidently intended to allow passage of the cash register's cables into the joinery, but times have changed, and the register has been moved 400 millimetres to the left, making the hole superfluous. I find this hole fascinating. It is so carefully made, and so materially satisfying - there is something delicious about a nice, even hole cut through laminated materials. The edge of the hole as it passes through the stainless steel skin has been filed smooth, and the ply substrate is visible beneath, with its tooled striations. Nevertheless, this particular hole is currently useless. One can take all manner of lessons from the position of this hole, and pontificate about the unwise nature of some decision-making processes in detailed design, but really, who cares? Perhaps, as the hippies did to the barrels of the guns, we should put a flower in the hole. Then again, perhaps not. Ultimately, the world has another hole in it: all is well.

Holtzman A Thing of Eternity Location: Calgary Alberta Postby A Thing of Eternity » 30 May 2008 17:27 Not Ixian, but this seemed like a good spot for this seeing as this would be the technology forum. I enjoyed the way that Frank handled the fringe physics that were necessary in creating the Dune universe. That he chose to describe the Sheilds, Suspensor feilds and Foldspace engines all as using the Holtzman Effect shows that he actually put some thought into these technologies. Although he never outright mentions it, I think it can be assumed that the Holtzman Effect was also used to create the artificial gravity on Highliners and No-ships. I don't think physics was really his forte but he was on the right track putting all these technologies under the same umbrella as they all rely on distorting spacetime in one way or another. A lot of authors wouldn't have had the sense to give hints such as these towards the nature of the technologies. Or the sense to take a given technology and extrapolate all obvious uses for it (cough cough, cancelation of accelleration forces, cough cough...KJA???? ). orald Location: Maximum Security Mental Hospital Contact orald Re: Holtzman Postby orald » 30 May 2008 18:38 A Thing of Eternity wrote: Although he never outright mentions it, I think it can be assumed that the Holtzman Effect was also used to create the artificial gravity on Highliners and No-ships. Artificial gravity? Where does it ever mention artificil gravity in spaceships in the Duniverse? Their shuttles and landing spaceships sure don't have it(HoD, Ch:D), nor do 'thopters(every book) or ("half flying rocket thingy")cars(HoD), even though the tech should be small enough if you can make a shield generator small enough for a belt buckle. there's not much need for those anyway, given that apart from brief periods when in orbit around planets there's no real travel time. In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly. I wish I could have been with you that one last time. SandChigger KJASF Ground Zero Location: A continuing state of irritation Contact SandChigger Postby SandChigger » 30 May 2008 19:01 (Small note: in Dung: How Atrocious! Pinky & The Brian have an epigraph calling him an Ixian, so he's cool here. ) Orald, what are you on about? There is little mention of people floating around the cabins of their ships (can you find a passage?), implying artificial gravity. "Let the dead give water to the dead. As for me, it's NO MORE FUCKING TEARS!" Or implying those big ships rotate. even the smallest of the no-ships are what, 140 meters in diameter? Good for rotation. Last edited by orald on 30 May 2008 19:08, edited 1 time in total. Yes Orald, though it is not directly mentioned, there is also no mention of spinning the ships for psuedo gravity. As such, I don't really think it's an "out there" assumtion to make. EDIT: Ha, you must have been posting while I was typing mine up, maybe there IS prescience, oh wait, it's just common sense, never mind. Last edited by A Thing of Eternity on 30 May 2008 19:10, edited 1 time in total. I know, lets just call it a draw then and agree P&B are fucktards, eh? orald wrote: Or implying those big ships rotate. Think about it just a little more, would you? You rotate a spherical ship. In which direction is the acceleration? What does that imply about the decks in your ship? Chig - I've read fiction where spherical stations are rotated for gravity, but as you say that has numerous drawbacks (also some advantages though). EDIT: Karl Schroeder's Novel: Permanence would be a good example. Orald - I'd love to call it a draw, but based on the feild technology in the Duniverse I have to go with my answer as being more likely. Sorry bud. I know, like in 2001: ASO, so? I never said anything about SW/ST type spaceships. Why wouldn't they use this tech to cussion(sp?) the G's the poor BG experienced in HoD (and Ch:D?)? They did mention suspensors I believe, in HoD, but that's to lighten the load IIRC. orald wrote: I know, like in 2001: ASO, so? I never said anything about SW/ST type spaceships. I don't remember that being in the books, but you may be right. If there was artificial gravity it would be a logical thing to use it for cancelling G-forces. I'm afraid i'm going to have to agree with you if you are correct about those g-forces in HoD and Ch:D because otherwise it means that FH made the same mistake as KJA and BH... I'm not prepared to think that. Also, though I am a big fan of Arthur C. Clarke, I haven't seen or read 2001. Today was a bad year, he died on my godsdamned birthday. Great present. I got a gift back in the end of the 90's with ~70 dead soldiers in the biggest airforce accident in the history of the IDF when 2 chopers collided. Not that I care really, but it's on my B-day. Nuff sharing. TBH I find it hard to imagine battles with roatating SS(spaceships...too long to write...maybe I should dictate it to the computer? ), IDK, it looks wierd for someone used to up being up, down being down. I think that's really why most shows have SW/ST type SS. Slow down, I'm new to these things. What is TBH? And SW/ST? I'm feel like an idiot, but I'd actually be one if I didn't ask. TBH=To be honest. SW=Star Whores...err, Wars. ST=Star Trek. Mainly refering to , you know, how they have people walking normally on ships there, having great control on turning etc like some super airplane etc. Some quotes would be nice, Orald. A Thing of Eternity wrote: Chig - I've read fiction where spherical stations are rotated for gravity, but as you say that has numerous drawbacks (also some advantages though). Rotating a spherical ship (or station) is probably the most inefficient way of simulating gravity. The decks would have to be successively smaller spheres and, under spin, would have progressively weaker gravity until you reached complete weightlessness at the center. There would be only a narrow region of the outermost deck centered on the equator of the ship where you would get full gravity. And the decks would be unusable on the surface of a planet. I can't remember if there is any description of the deck structure of the no-ship in the originals (I know there is one in Grunters), but I don't remember there being any mention of inconvenience in using it while parked on Chapterhouse all those years.... You're right there Chig, a spherical rotating ship would be completely useless on the ground. Unless it has a system of doors on the floor/wall/ceiling and everything inside the ship can be rearanged for different directions of "grav", that's how Pournelle handled his ships anyways, one orientation for spin grav, one for thrust. I don't like the though of FH overlooking the counter-G uses of artificial grav (I still don't remember those passages orald) but I guess everyone makes mistakes. I'm back to my original stance on this - artificial gravity. Obviously there would be issues with how much of a rotating spherical station (I'm saying station instead of ship because I'm thinking of Karl Schroeder's novel, which does not have any spherical ships) could be under normal grav, but if you build it big enough and spun it fast enough (not too fast of course coriolis effect and all) you could have a series of "middle" decks with close to regular gravity, high G decks for exercise/training and storage of non delicate goods, and low-zero G sections for manufacturing and storage of more delicate goods. The main advantage of a spherical station as I understand it is keeping in (mainly heat) radiation. In the novel I'm thinking of the stations are extremely impoverished and have to scrounge for basic needs, they don't even turn up the lights or heat the low G sections of the ship. The passages I'm talking about are in HoD when Teg returns with Tarza and her escort from that Guild ship(?) they were abducted to. They have a really bumpy ride down the atmospehere. I'm not sure if there's a bumpy ride in this as well, but in Ch:D Odrade etc go down to Junction to have fun with the HM. Again, not sure there's a description at all of how their ride downward faired after entering the atmosphere. Forgive me for the lack of quotes, my head's swimming for lack of sleep. Go to bed for a while then. (It's a rainy chilly day here. I just had a nap for an hour or three myself. ) Here's one of the passages: Again, Taraza fell silent while their lighter went through another atmospheric buffeting. "I wish he would use his suspensors!" Taraza complained. "It saves fuel," Teg said. "Less dependency." That means using them for flight, of course, but proves that even a lighter was equipped with suspensors...which could have also provided a gravity field. A ship during reentry isn't really the best example, though, since they're under acceleration as well as descending into the planetary gravity well. On the Guildship (before this passage), Taraza's room is described as having gossamer hangings concealing an entry. You can't have hangings without some kind of gravity...and the Guildship is not explicity described as spinning anywhere that I can find. FWIW That's the passage I meant, and I do believe I've mentioned those same suspensors earlier myself. They would act to lighten the load, not to generate a gravity field to hold things in place. And Guild ships aren't actually described in much or any detail anywhere that I can remember. Omphalos Inglorious Bastard Location: The Mighty Central Valley of California Contact Omphalos Postby Omphalos » 31 May 2008 12:00 You rotate cylindrical ships so the people feel gravity going towards the outer decks, and are all oriented head-in towards the axis. A spherical ship would have t have onion layers for decks, and that would be tough to get around in, especially in a gravity well. EDIT: Yea, my buggy! The New & Improved Book Review Blog Goodnight Golden Path! It's be nearly useless in a gravity well. As far as onion layers though, that is correct, but for what I'm picturing also imagine there being... I guess they'd be walls under spin; walls at right angles to the axis of spin. There'd be stairs leading to the inner/grav wise upper levels, and just doors leading to the north/south passages. It'd be essentially the same as traversing a cylindrical ship, but instead just getting lower grav when you go towards the central passages you'd also get it when heading north or south. To a passenger it wouldn't seem anydifferent than steping between different diameter'd rings under spin. It's definitly not efficient for gravity, but as I stated earlier it has it's advantages. That has nothing to do with Dune though as I think we've reached the conclusion that this is not the design for no-ships and highliners. EDIT: If anyone hasn't read Karl Schreoder I'd recommend him highly, he's new but has some serious vision. He works for the Canadian government and other agencies as a foresight analyst, predicting future trends and his big theme is 'augmented reality'. For super hightech but still seriously hard SF I'd check out Lady of Mazes, Permanence is also good, and where I'm getting this spherical station business from. If you'd prefer steampunk pirate stories I'd recommend Sun of Suns. Just a suggestion. Having a ship interior that can change orientation depending on the gravity source is pretty difficult with an onion-layer idea. You would actually need to re-construct each time you get close to a gravity well, whereas with a cylinder you can just change your orientation in static rooms, like Niven and Pournelle did with the Thuktun Flishithy in Footfall.

Pournelle is where I got the Idea. For the sake of arguement though, I don't think you'd need to re-construct anything if you had the ability to add colapsable stair cases to get to the passages that were once sideways and are now up or down. Just picture the onion having been sliced into decks (when in a grav well) or "side passages" (when under spin) at a right angle to the axis of spin. I maintain that the idea would be pretty stupid in a gravity well, but the change of orientation in static rooms would be the same as with a cylinder, I don't see what the problem would be unless you're thinking of each layer of the onion consisting of big open spaces, whereas I picture "hallways" segemented into rooms (retarded setup I know, but you do what you have to I guess) the walls of said rooms turning into the floors of each deck. I'm just debating for the sake of it here, it would be retarded having a setup with equal sized rooms and you have to pass through one to get to another, I'm just pointing out that it doesn't create any more of a pain in the ass to re-orient than a cylinder. IT just makes so much more sense to assume that they can use the suspensors to create artificial gravity. What, though, can we say in light(er ) of this: The lighter landed with a smoothness that spoke of superb control by Station Four. Odrade knew the moment because a manicured landscape visible in her scanner no longer moved. The nullfield was turned off and she felt gravity. The hatch directly in front of her opened. Temperature pleasantly warm. Noise out there. Children playing some competitive game? Last edited by SandChigger on 31 May 2008 19:38, edited 1 time in total.

As long as you have square rooms that have planes that run parallel to the axes, I dont think it matters if it lands straight up and down or on its belly, but yes, that is hat I am talking about.

About CURC CURC Activities The CURC Vision for Technology CURC News "Getting to Net-Zero" Briefing Series CURC-EPRI Advanced Fossil Energy Technology Roadmap Making Carbon a Commodity: The Potential of Carbon Capture RD&D Approaches for International Collaboration and Financing of CCUS Pilot Projects CURC Helps Secure Carbon Sequestration Tax Credit The Carbon Utilization Resource Council (CURC) is pleased to announce the enactment S. 1535, the Furthering carbon capture, Utilization, Technology, Underground storage, and Reduced Emissions (FUTURE) Act, which extends and expands the Section 45Q carbon sequestration tax credits. The bill was included in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which was passed by Congress today. This important result is the culmination of a leadership deal on tax extenders spanning many months and supported by CURC for several years. Nearly a decade ago, CURC was among the primary advocates and supporters of the original 45Q carbon sequestration tax credit enacted by Congress in 2008, and has worked since then to strengthen and extend the credit. CURC salutes Senators Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and John Barrasso (R-WY) for their leadership and fortitude in passing the FUTURE Act. CURC's members – which include many of the coal companies and power generators that can utilize the expanded credit – were instrumental in supporting these Senators as they sought to build an unprecedented bipartisan coalition to advance the legislation. CURC also applauds the leadership of Congressman Mike Conaway (R-TX), who introduced similar legislation in the House of Representatives, H.R. 3761, the "Carbon Capture Act", and Congressman David McKinley (R-WV), Chairman of the House Coal Caucus, for their leadership in gathering bipartisan support for Section 45Q reform in the House. Prior to enactment of the FUTURE Act, the Section 45Q tax credit was limited and did not meet the needs of the CURC members that wanted to use it. The revised tax credit will remove the uncertainty that currently exists in the program and encourage financial investment in carbon capture projects. "Power generators that want to maintain and preserve options for coal and natural gas as part of their energy portfolio cannot utilize the current Section 45Q tax credits. While carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) has been established for some industrial processes, it is still a relatively expensive technology that is just being tested in commercial-scale power projects", stated Barbara Walz, CURC co-chair and Senior Vice President of Policy and Compliance for Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. "This bill provides the critical federal government support necessary to bring costs down and spur the development and deployment of CCUS projects." The overwhelming support and passage of the bill demonstrates that carbon capture is necessary to achieve our economic and energy security objectives while also safeguarding the environment. CURC believes this legislation is critical to help us reach those mutual goals, while also enabling the continued utilization of our valuable fossil fuel resources. Holly Krutka, CURC Co-Chair and Vice President Coal Generation and Emission Technologies, Peabody, said that "Peabody has long encouraged high-efficiency, low-emissions (HELE) technologies along with greater investments in CCUS. While the world has been investing in HELE technologies, not nearly enough investments are being channeled to CCUS. This bill is a step toward changing that paradigm for the better." CURC was joined by the National Enhanced Oil Recovery Initiative (NEORI) coalition in 2016 to enhance support for an expanded 45Q tax credit program that would make all industrial sources of CO2 eligible for the tax credit. "Members of CURC recognize deployment of CCUS extends beyond the electric power sector and were pleased to work with NEORI and other NGOs including ClearPath and Third Way to grow support for CCUS technology deployment policies" states Shannon Angielski, Executive Director of CURC. We wish to congratulate the bipartisan cosponsors of the Section 45Q legislation and CURC's members who worked tirelessly over the last two years to enact these important reforms that will help bring CCUS projects on industrial facilities and electric generating plants to fruition.

Michigan football hits new low in blowout loss to Wisconsin Updated: Nov. 16, 2020, 9:06 a.m. | College football Michigan vs. Wisconsin – November 14, 2020 Aaron McMann | amcmann@mlive.com ANN ABROR, Mich. — Michigan's football team, down four starters and reeling after back-to-back regular-season losses for only the second time since Jim Harbaugh arrived in Ann Arbor in late 2014, found a way to hit a new low Saturday night. Before a nationally televised, prime-time audience eager to see how they might bounce back, the Wolverines came out flat, embarrassingly out-of-sync offensively and fell so far behind in the first half that it became virtually impossible to come back. Michigan lost the game, 49-11, to a 13th-ranked Wisconsin team that had not played a game in over three weeks. The Badgers were ravaged by a COVID-19 outbreak, one that forced its new starting quarterback, Graham Mertz, and head coach to isolate. Despite the layoff, Wisconsin took advantage of a pair of mistakes early on by Michigan, off to its first 1-3 start to a season since 1967. Quarterback Joe Milton threw interceptions on his first two drives of the game, gifting the Badgers favorable field position in both instances. Two plays after Milton's first turnover, a pass that bounced off the hands of tight end Nick Eubanks, Wisconsin picked up 30 yards on a reverse handoff to Chimere Dike, setting up a 2-yard touchdown run by Nakia Watson. It was the first of two rushing touchdowns by Watson, who rushed 12 times for 65 yards. Wisconsin carved up Michigan's new-look defensive line, rushing for 341 yards and five touchdowns while amassing 468 yards of total offense. It was the most rushing yards allowed by the Wolverines since last year's 35-14 loss to the Badgers (359). More: Michigan was down three more starters vs. Wisconsin On Michigan's second drive, just four plays into the game, Milton's poor read on third-and-16 resulted in a pass nowhere near a receiver and into the hands of Badgers linebacker Leo Chenal. Four plays later, the Wolverines found themselves down 14-0 without a single positive yard of offense. Their struggles continued into the second quarter, after Wisconsin forced another three-and-out and marched 60 yards in nine plays, highlighted by an 18-yard completion to Jalen Berger and 19-yard pass to Dike (2 catches, 29 yards). Watson put an exclamation on the drive by marching 14 yards into the end zone virtually untouched, carving up a shuffled Michigan defensive line. Already down starting defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, sidelined indefinitely with a right ankle fracture, the Wolverines were also missing end Kwity Paye, sidelined with an undisclosed injury. They started redshirt sophomore Taylor Upshaw and moved fifth-year senior Carlo Kemp to the outside, opting to go with sophomore Chris Hinton and redshirt junior Donovan Jeter inside. The Michigan offense showed signs of life in the second quarter, marching 74 yards on 13 plays to the Badgers' 1-yard line before turning the football over on downs. A play earlier, running back Chris Evans appeared to reach the end zone after a five-yard completion but the play was overturned via replay. Trailing 28-0 at halftime, the Wolverines tried moving the football early in the third quarter — with Milton (9-19, 98 yards) connecting with receiver Ronnie Bell on back-to-back completions — but stalled after three straight incompletions and had to settle for a 46-yard field goal by Quinn Nordin. Redshirt freshman Cade McNamara breathed late life into the Michigan offense, leading it on an impressive four-play, 74-yard touchdown drive with 3:00 left in the third quarter. The drive included three throws of 20-plus yards, including an impressive 23-yard dart to Mike Sainristil in the end zone for the Wolverines' first touchdown of the game. Still, major issues reside on both sides of the ball for Michigan. The offense has lacked big-play ability during its losing skid, marred by a non-existent rushing game and shuffled offensive line, while the defense continues to have a difficult time stopping the run and getting pressure on the quarterback. Mertz, whose status was unknown before Saturday's game, was 12 of 22 for 127 yards and two touchdowns but had a clean pocket most of the game. Carlo Kemp had Michigan's only sack of the game — and sixth of the first four games of the season. Next up for the Wolverines is a road game next Saturday, Nov. 21, at Rutgers, a team off to a 1-3 start but competitive in losses to Indiana, Ohio State and Illinois.

The difficulty with this one in my experience is not with keeping your own assets, but with getting all four towers before the enemy's reinforcement count hits zero. Not requiring the last two towers, or only one of them, would be a welcome change. We managed to do that achievement today with a group of ~20 people using preform AB enabler. 6-7 people including a couple healers rush the 2 Dun Baldar towers and wait 5 minutes for them to be destroyed. The other players make sure Galvagar stay alive and should be enough to block alliance from capturing any tower. DON'T kill Balinda ever or the alliance will run out of points before you can destroy the 4 towers. Once the 2 north towers are down , the 6-7 people go suicide in Vandar room or recall back to the base. Then focus on the 2 remaining towers while keeping yours alive. Make sure none of your towers are under attack when you win or you won't recieve the achievement. The safest way is to keep at least 2/3 players in every horde towers once you destroyed the alliance ones and then wait for the win. I just did this Achievement with a Premade. We did it in one try. This tactic is for the HORDE. Got this while trying to get Little Helper - must have joined the right group! I got this in my second AV ever. Before this, horde's last victory was in 2008, or so at least people told me. Somehow managed to get this achievement on my DK.Pure PuG AV.Hell I didn't even know we were going for it. We just sort of rolled over the Alliance and continued to stomp them over and over every time we met them.Of course, we usually used to win when numbers were even.Now with games not starting until 40 on both sides, I think a lot more Horde on my battlgroup will be getting this. This Achievement is somewhat strange. I have been playing an AV game that took quite a long time to complete and when it ended for reinforcements victory I saw one of my raidmates getting it. My guess would be this one behaves like time completion achievements for others battleground, meaning it only considers if you win AFTER you've joined and the towers and the captains have already been killed. Would really like to know or if anybody can hand out some help on this, since I was quite disappointed by seeing it happen. This seems to have changed. Either it's bugged or intentional, but this achievement seems to be being awarded if you only have Galvangar alive, regardless of if you have destroyed all their towers or you own all of yours. Had this awarded to people with 2 of their towers still alive, 2 of our bunkers burned and only Galvangar alive. I met all the criteria for this achievement yesterday. We won the Alterac Valley by killing Vanndar, Galvangar was alive, North- and Southbunker were tapped, Stonehearth and Icewing destroyed. Yet I didn't get the achievement. I demand justice. I wrote a ticket and I'm going to make a drama about it. I have 150 AV wins now. How did your ticket go? I was in AV 1h ago, we had all towers up, ally had 3 towers down, DBS was capped, Galvangar alive, Balinda dead. Also opened ticket, waiting for response. I somehow expected bug, so I took screenshots 10 secs before win. I got achievement in following games, while was waiting for GM answer. It was total PUG. And random as hell. We did kill Balinda, then destroyed all 4 towers. - Ask at start if people are up for achievement. Communication is first step towards completion. - Focus healers at Galvangar (good addon to help you with that is "Healers Have To Die". Use your Schlachtstandarte der Horde as well. - With a decent number of people, after you defend Galvangar, go and cap SH bunker. Defend SH with 5 people at least. - Alliance gets mad after they fail with Galvangar and they will try to defend. - Don't rush. It will take time. - It's good if you can destroy IW without capping SH gy. If that is your scenario, immediately take few stealthers and rush DBN and DBS while your group distract (read: farm) alliance on SH gy. - Keep 1-3 people at IB and TP to prevent ninja caps in last minute. For Frostwolf Keep 1-2 person is enough to cover both towers. - 1 person should stay at Galvangar and alert if somehow big number of Alliance passed and they are going to attempt kill him. - If your group killed Balinda, letting alliance to have both mines is nice way to extend game enough to keep all 4 towers down. DONT COUNT ON BUGS. They are either fixed, or work in randomly created scenarion where you join after something is destroyed etc. Good luck, you will need it! BY FAR the hardest part of this achievement is finding 39 other people willing to do it right. Honestly I wish Blizzard would remove this from the meta, if they're not going to provide a way to queue a premade 40-member group. On a few occasions in a random BG we've been close enough to get this if people would hold off on killing the other side for a minute or so (so as not to run out of reinforcements before destroying a final tower or two), and nobody listens. In fact they mock me for caring about it. I've seen several people get this achievement undeservedly in non-qualifying matches. It makes me wonder what proportion of people who have it got it fairly. Not really; after a few days of attempts I queued with a friend of mine today (38 people random), we got a fail-alliance group (saying this because we managed to beat them even where we were outnumbered) and a good horde group, for once willing to listen, also. Usual tactic, defended at galvangar at start; after a few alliance wipes, 1-2 of us always kept an eye on galvangar while a few groups were going to take back our towers\graveyards; a few went north to take bunkers and defended them till actually we got them. They tried to come again to galvangar when they had lost all of their towers, so we formed a big group and wiped them again; we had like 520 reinforcements when alliance had around 100, we were temped to go kill balinda, but feared they might have killed galvangar fast (not even 4 millions hp), so we didn't risk, and kept farming them in the field of strife. They probably tried to ruin our achievement, assaulting Tower Point when they had around 15 reinforcements, because if we hadn't defended it before they reached 0, we'd have failed. The game ended around 500 to 0 reinforcements, so the answer is: "Yes, this achievement is still possible at 85 in random groups, just need the right circumstances and a few people reporting incoming assaults". Been farming AV for weeks now. Had to complete 100 victories and now this is the only achivement I'm missing for Battlemaster. It is so frustrating to que AV again and again and see people not even trying to get it just saying "lose fast please" I get this achievment yesterday with a 27 or 28 man premade from US-Ragnaros with the addon "Preform AV Enabler" 1) Send 15 to defend Glav. 2) Send 4 dps (2 rogues 2 ferals) to defend West tower in our base. 3) Send 1 tank and 1 healer to defend East tower in our base. 4) Send 6 people with all the non-premade guys to cap DBN an DBS. Before defend Galv we let 3 dps and 2 healers with Glav and send 5 (2 healers 1 tank) to Bloodice and 5 (2 healer 1 tank) to Point Tower and defend it (we have to backcap Point toweer and that was the hardest part cause there was like 12 allys there). When left around 1.5 minutes to cap DBN and DBS we cap all gys in the middle and south part, so allys spawn in their start camp. When we cap DBN abd DBS we send the 10 people who was in there to cap the 2 missing towers (one by one). When we cap the 4 allys tower we send 1 dps and 1 healer to kill Ballinda and we have again 10 peoples in Glav and 5 in each base (Point Tower and Bloodice). Allys try to attack or Bloodice or Glav but we wipe they like 3 times. When we kill Balind we left like 40 resources to win and just stay there defending towers and killing allys one by one. Maybe if we have controlled both mines we just need to kill Ballinda to win. Just curious if anyone has tried to do this in MoP? Are premades of that size even still possible now with RBG in the game? The hardest part of this achievement is preventing the enemy from running out of reinforcements before you take all the towers. Don't kill Balinda, let them have mines, and don't kill any more than you have to. Saw the other faction get it twice. Which confirms that this can be done without premades. Still hope for some of us! Got this achievement today. It probably helped that the Alliance team featured a 10-man multiboxer. Just got this today - we didn't have ALL of the alliance towers, we still needed dun baldar north & south towers, but had galv up and none of our towers down. so the acheiv might need to be updated to just say "without losing any of ur towers or captains". Unfortunately the win ratio for Horde on Alterac Valley is extremely low given the sheer volume of Alliance premades that now play this particular BG so just winning is now an achievement. That being said, here is what you will face, make your plans accordingly. - A paladin or DK will be running full speed straight for your frostwolf GY, you must have 1-2 people waiting for him or Alliance will cap it and will then spawn next to Drek making this achieve impossible. - A major stand must be made to defend Galv at the onset. A good tactic here is to do the run-by in middle but turn the troops around and run in on Galv while Alliance are still attacking him, otherwise you will have to take out 35 of the 40 players since they are all headed in this direction already. - After the above two things are accounted for the main group must kill Balinda and work up the map quickly, likely going all in extremely early. This will require most of the troops to be up north with just a handful of defenders recapping bases. The GOOD news is that Alliance premades often leave Alliance players confused or indifferent when their regular tactic doesn't work. If you can break the plan early, and stick to your plan, premades can be beaten in this 40 man bg. - Make a stand for Balinda at the onset but wait for Horde to be attacking her before coming in behind them, many will not break off their attack on Balinda and so can be easily cleaned up. If they SEE many Alliance waiting at Balinda they will bring more troops, stand on the west side of the keep, outside, and wait for the 15-20 who will blindly rush in. - A small recap team will do just fine, Horde is notorious for capping and then running off. I rarely see more than 2-3 protecting any tower/bunker. Hope this helps, I thought this needed updating because the previous tactics are years old. Guys, any suggestions on how to do this achievement 5.4+++? I've played a lot of games, but most of the time we (horde) loose on our battlegroup. Got this on my lvl 70 Alliance char back in 2008, no premade. I also managed to get it today, 8 years later, on my lvl 100 Horde char, still no premade. I think we got really lucky, considering that Horde loses most of AV's. I think we just had people willing to cooperate at the start. I suggested to have at least 10 people on each tower, and surprisingly people followed this. We skipped Balinda at the start and killed her after the towers. Really lucky tho! I advise everyone to try going for this achievement while the game is on the Pre-Expansion Patch. Right now guards are lvl109 while we are still lvl100. The graveyard guards can kill any players easily, while the tower's crossbow equipped guards are bringing down your hp by 15-20%/shot. The bosses Galvagar, Balinda. Vandar Stormpike, Drek'thar are much stronger. Adding all this together, you can guess that defending the objectives is much easier, and usually there is no "go straight for the boss" games. Seems like the quest is bugged as of BfA prepatch (and I think onwards since they didnt fix it in the first few sets of AV bugs). Bugged in the sense that the achievement can be randomly gotten without meeting the criteria of it (as long as you win). I've seen people get it from 10-20 wins on average, I got mine after 50 wins. You will notice every once in a while from a winning game that some people in your raid group get this achievement, you just have to be lucky to be one of these people. I'm not sure if its bugged as the last comment mentioned but it does seem the requirements have changed slightly. I just achieved this in a pug group last night. We didn't take down every alliance tower (only 2) but we did not lose any of our towers. We win the game by the alliances resources hitting "o" and this achievement popped for a quite a few people. tend to turtle and its hard to push all the way to end. Now if my battlegroup could only win this one more then 25% of the time I could get the AV achievements wrapped up. :) Happy Hunting! Gewinnt im Alteractal, ohne einen Turm oder Hauptmann zu verlieren. Ihr müsst auch alle Türme der Allianz kontrollieren.

The H&Y Revoring Filter System Transforms to Fit Any Thread Size Jaron Schneider H&Y has announced the Revoring Filter system and new clip-on filters in what it claims is the first filter product that can attach to lenses of different thread sizes and eliminates filter adapter rings. Stop Using Step-Up or Step-Down Rings? The Revoring has a unique "self-retracting blade technology" with threaded ends that secure on the front of lenses. The company says that each threaded end has been designed to overlap and therefore any possibility of light leaking has been removed. This "self-retracting blade" is visible in the first few seconds of the demonstration video below: The rotating blades allow the Revoring to adapt to multiple filter sizes quickly and easily. It does have many moving parts, however, and how these will work over time and with the added element of dust and sand is still questionable. The claims about totally eliminating adapter rings might be technically true, but it's not a single miracle product either. H&Y offers three versions of the Revoring that cover three filter size ranges: 46-62mm, 58-77mm, and 67-82mm. Clearly, there is some overlap among them, but to cover the entire range of filter sizes, at least two will need to be purchased. ND and Polarization Filters In addition to the Revoring technology, H&Y has also launched a set of clip-on ND filters and its first circular polarizer. The ND filters come in ND4, 8, 16, and 400 in three sizes that match the three Revoring sizes. The circular polarizer uses German Schott B270 glass and includes anti-reflective coatings which the company says virtually eliminate all flare and reflections from the front and rear surfaces along with a light transmission of 97%. The company also claims that the use of accelerated inert-gas ions condense the deposited material into solid layers, making the glass dust and moisture resistant. Magnetic Clip-On Filter System H&Y made each of the Revorings and their protective caps out of aluminum, but the front of the Revoring and the rear of the caps are magnetic, making it easy to pop them on and off and keep the filter glass protected. Those same magnets are compatible with a large number of H&Y filters which easily pop on and off but are held in place securely when in use. The company says that the magnetic system was developed with the sole purpose to solve the cross-polarization problem that takes place on traditional ND filters. Cross polarization is a physical phenomenon that all variable neutral density filters have when paired with a wide-angle lens and is visible as an "X" pattern as the ring is turned. H&Y says that combining the magnetic clip-on ND together with the H&Y Revoring VND filters achieves a higher ND stop with no visible X-pattern. For instance, to use a 16mm lens with 10-stop ND, users can turn the ND level to 1.5 stop (on the Revoring VND filter) and use an extra 8.5 stop (Clip-on ND) to achieve a 10-stop long exposure effect. The H&Y Revoring is available for between $184 and $259 depending on the selected size, the new circular polarizer is available for between $129 and $139, and the variable neutral density filter is available for between $184 and $259. All of the products that are compatible with the Revoring can be seen on H&Y's website.

GEF | STAP Knowledge & Methods Data & Ratings System for Transparent Allocation of Resources (STAR) 2014 Document status: Evaluation number: Evaluation type: IEO grouping: Corporate & Country The GEF piloted a Resource Allocation Framework (RAF) during its GEF-4 replenishment period to allocate resources to countries in a transparent and consistent manner based on global environmental priorities and country capacities, policies and practices relevant to successful implementation of GEF projects. Indicative country allocations under RAF covered activities in the climate change and biodiversity focal areas. Prior to implementation of Resource Allocation Framework (RAF) in fiscal year 2007, GEF had provided its resources to proposals based on a first come first serve basis where the proposals met the requisite quality standards and sufficient GEF resources were available. In 2009, the GEF Evaluation Office conducted a Mid-Term Review of the RAF (RAF-MTR) and identified several areas where the RAF could be improved. The GEF Secretariat subsequently developed several proposals to address the weaknesses identified in the RAF-MTR. In its November 2009 meeting, the GEF Council approved changes in the design of RAF – now rechristened as System for Transparent Allocation of Resources (STAR) – and decided to extend its coverage to activities in the land degradation focal area. In June 2010, the GEF Council approved the operational procedures for STAR and the implementation of STAR begun in July 2010. The GEF Council has requested the Evaluation Office conduct a mid-term evaluation of STAR to provide feedback on STAR's design and implementation. In response to the Council's request, the Office is undertaking an evaluation to assess the quality of STAR's design and implementation, and its effects on the GEF portfolio. The evaluation assesses the extent to which STAR is meeting its objectives and uses performance under RAF as a benchmark for comparison. The evaluation also assesses the extent to which the lessons presented in RAF-MTR, and the subsequent Council decisions, have been addressed through STAR. So far the Council Working Paper of the evaluation (GEF/ME/C.45/04) and four technical papers that cover some of the areas addressed by the evaluation have been completed. Publication of the final report is expected in FY2014.

The TV Obsessed Week In Review: The Good Wife, The River, Once Upon A Time The TV Obsessed | March 15, 2012 | Columns, Features, Reviews | No Comments I'll be very busy for the next few weeks, so I'll won't have much to say about the shows. The Walking Dead: Now we're getting somewhere. Shane has been on the fence this entire, neither evil villain nor good guy, but he kept being painted as being dangerous. Indeed, he did kill Otis and as much as admitted it to several people. He finally snapped, and it ratcheted tension up several notches. With Dale and Shane dead and pack of zombies near the farm, it looks like things will start happening. Shameless: I don't know about other people, but Monica is too mean and uncaring to be likable, even when she's supposed to be silly. Other than that, the episode was on point with the ghost business and Estefania phone sex. I like how The Good Wife handled Caitlin. She wasn't a manipulator or scheming in the least bit–she was just doing her job. The writers, through Alicia, kind of led us into this direction where there would be this major confrontation between Alicia and Caitlin once Caitlin unveiled her master plan. But that never happened. Caitlin explains why she quitting the firm–because she's pregnant and has a loving fiance–and walks off, leaving a stunned Alicia. It's a fitting contrast to Alicia, who thinks she has something to prove, but is now unsure of the path she's on, a message greatly enhanced by the possibility of rebuying she old home and seeing the marks of how tall everyone in the family was. Without another love story about people who had to stay apart, Once Upon a Time was much more enjoyable last night. The Storybrooke stuff was somewhat forgettable, especially because it was all setup, but the Red story was gruesome and fun. For whatever reason, possibly as as test, The Mentalist aired on both Thursday and Friday. The first episode was more potent because it had the specter of Darcy doing something in secret, which was eventually revealed to be the FBI investigating Jane for his ties to Red John. The second episode was a mix of everything, with more focus on Rigsby and Cho for a change. Awake ends its second episode with a clear message: there's a conspiracy. Given how many shows have tried conspiracies and not gotten them right, I'm a bit wary about this. On the other hands, the anemic ratings indicates there won't be a second season anyway. Psych's horror movie homage was all sorts of good. It was actually scary at times, funny at other times. In a very cool episode of Justified, Raylan gets trapped by Quarles and the FBI (which is indirectly Quarles doing), and narrowly makes it out. I like how Limehouse is playing it. While Quarles and Boyd are duking it out and putting themselves in the crosshairs of law enforcement, he's playing it cool, trying to keep things calm for his people before making any hasty decisions. I assumed that Lucy Liu wouldn't be staying on Southland for another season, and this seems even more certain now that she signed onto a pilot. Now there's a plot that signals Tang's potential exit. Cooper is intent of getting to the bottom of the shooting, whether she removed the cap from the gun. Last week's episode of The River was the strongest episode yet, including the pilot. My initial thought was that the episode should have come earlier. But looking back, the episode was right where it belonged. The meager character development in previous episodes actually paid off well in the episode as we look on the tapes of the past. Everyone has some stake in what's going on, and the characters hearing Emmett talk was quite potent. The final twist of the abandoned compound was pretty sweet also, although the bad ratings probably means we won't see more beyond the final two episodes. After Alcatraz's latest two episodes, I told myself I'd be fine seeing it come back for another season. The episodes seemed to have more grit than previous ones Smash wavers between earnest and way too dramatic, and this incongruity is unnerving. I want to like the show, but there are times when it's really annoying. Being Human'ssecond season has been all over the place. Each of the three characters have their own stories, and, aside from some chance intersections, haven't really interacted to the extent that they should. This disconnect leads to a general sense of the plot never moving, as a whole and in individual episodes. It feels like brief snippets and then the episode is over.

My suspicions concerning the internet are old news at this point, "Er zol vaksen vi a tsibeleh, mit dem kop in drerd," in the Yiddish — "the hat-wearing man is worn by his hat in equal measure." However, my experience has shown me that internet media is not going anywhere, for better or for worse, like Israel, yes, but also like Araby. Of course, in life, we take the good with the bad. One man's Shia LaBeouf is another man's Shia LaBeouf. And so, here I am, like Shia LaBeouf. Adaptation to the internet has not been an easy or forgiving experience. My e-mail box is the wrong color. And I despise my "mouse." However, I have persevered. I have learned how to create the HYPERLINK. And I have "googled" myself, as all men must, apparently, these days, repeatedly. Through our technological looking glass, the abyss is now the search engine, and as it looks into the generalized you, so too will it and you look through the particulate me. It is like talking on a telephone, but with our eyes. Put simply, I am in two words — "totally stoked" — as the kids say, for this new partnership. I have long seen my name, both on the internet, and in printing. But, this is a very new and different venue for me, one my assistant claims is "adequately indey." In life, one can never afford to turn down an opportunity to reach out to a younger marketing demographic. For they comprise the future of both disposable income, and of the future. I hope you enjoy my weekly and/or bi-weekly quotidian musings as much as I enjoy musing them!
