WEBLEY NEMESIS X PCP M-LOK TACTICAL FORE STOCK
The Webley Nemesis X PCP Air Rifle represents a significant advancement from its predecessor, the Nemesis X CO2 Air Rifle, retaining its tactical design while incorporating notable enhancements.
It is a PCP air rifle with superior shot consistency over its CO2 counterpart.
A fully detachable 220cc air cylinder produces a shot count of 160 in.177 calibre, achieving a muzzle velocity of 8 ft. lbs.
Weighing merely 2 kg and measuring 778 mm in length, the rifle offers exceptional manoeuvrability, updated with an M-LOK foregrip and Picatinny rails for accessory attachment.
The barrel is fitted with a ½ Unf thread for a silencer or moderator.
A two-stage trigger and interchangeable bolt action accommodate both left and right-handed shooters.
The Webley Nemesis X appeals to two distinct user groups: for target shooting, its compactness and user-friendly design make it ideal, particularly for smaller stature or junior shooters. Additionally, as a tool for vermin control, its lightweight construction and ease of disassembly facilitates transportation in a backpack or small case, with an effective range of approximately 25 to 30 metres.
Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP): Ensures high power and accuracy with a consistent shooting experience
Bolt-Action Mechanism: Ambidexrous, the bolt action can be positioned on either side of the main block
Portable Design: At just 2 kg, its design allows easy transportation and disassembly
Tactical Features: Equipped with an M-LOK foregrip and Picatinny rails for mounting accessories.
Two-Stage Trigger: Offers a light pull, allowing precise control over shot placement.

A film enthusiast, lecturer, and teacher just talking about all things movie-related - some newer, some that are more classic. But I don't say "old" - as Lauren Bacall said, "It's not an old movie if you haven't seen it."
For part 2 of the show's first two-parter, we look at two comedies to kick off the new school year. Thornton Melon, the eternally enthusiastic optimist, and Billy Madison, the overgrown, rambunctious man-child, both return to the classroom for the first time in years to give academia all they've got! Behind-the-scenes fun facts, poll results, new trivia, and shout-outs to you, your comments, and feedback!
It's September, and a new school semester is underway. Whether it's been two weeks, two months, or two decades since you were last in a classroom, we all see the back-to-school sales and feel the daily commutes getting tighter with school transportation once again on the roads every morning and afternoon. For the show's first two-parter, we look at 1999's October Sky and 2006's Akeelah and the Bee for crowd-pleasing, inspirational stories about the academic underdog who gives it their all to defy the odds, rise to a challenge, and see what they're made of - with the help of supportive teachers and mentors along the way. Plus, the usual behind-the-scenes fun facts, poll results, new trivia, and more shout-outs to listeners!
Mike Davis, host of the Star Wars-themed podcast Now This Is Podcasting, joins me for a look back at the original Star Wars trilogy. We put aside the prequels, the sequels, the stand-alone films, the TV movies and series, and the 1978 Holiday Special and instead focus on where it all began. Plus, the usual behind-the-scenes fun facts, poll results, new trivia, and more shout-outs to listeners... and as an added bonus, a brief reading of an excerpt from George Lucas's own 1976 novelization!
Two adrenaline-pumping car chase sequences, two morally ambiguous lead characters, two Best Editing Academy Award wins - two crime thrillers from the era known as the "New Hollywood" deliver the action-filled goods! Take a look back at a time period when the Hollywood film industry finally began to put out movies that reflected the drastic changes in culture and society. The usual behind-the-scenes fun facts, poll results, new trivia, and more shout-outs to listeners!
Equally adept at comedy and drama, show business has rarely seen the likes of the multi-talented Robin Williams. A brief background of how he got his start in stand-up and then global TV and movie fame, followed by a closer look at two top-notch performances, one a drama (Penny Marshall's Awakenings) and the other a comedy (Chris Columbus's Mrs. Doubtfire)! The usual behind-the-scenes fun facts, poll results, new trivia, and lots of shout-outs to listeners!
Two pitch-perfect ensemble casts, two murders inside a mansion, two groups of hysterically eccentric suspects: Jonathan Lynn's farcical whodunnit Clue: The Movie and Rian Johnson's sardonic comedy-thriller Knives Out! Come for the usual helping of behind-the-scenes facts and stories, get the poll results for which flick you prefer, and stay to hear about both new and returning listeners who scored at the trivia! Next time could be you! All of this and more once you click that "download" button...
Two dramatic thrillers, two strong leading lady performances, two disturbing tales of affairs gone wrong: Clint Eastwood's Play Misty for Me and Adrian Lyne's Fatal Attraction! Get the usual helping of behind-the-scenes facts and stories, find out if Jessica Walter or Glenn Close topped the poll, and not one, but TWO return trivia winners! All of this and more once you click that "download" button...
The summer of 1999 saw two supernatural horror movies explode onto theater screens and set new box office records: The Blair Witch Project and The Sixth Sense! Find out some behind-the-scenes facts, hear which you voted for as your favorite... and have they aged well? (And those Blair Witch sequels...) All of this and more!
The Bruce Willis flick is top-tier holiday entertainment, and the Gary Cooper/Grace Kelly morality tale that is cleverly disguised as a Western delivers suspense in its own way. Fun behind-the-scenes facts about both films, along with a look at how they reflect and connect to each other! (For the record, yes: Die Hard most definitely is a Christmas season movie | [

Understanding the relationship between boost and compression ratios is important for any enthusiast looking to optimize the performance of an internal combustion engine with forced induction, whether it’s via a turbocharger or supercharger.
These components forcefully introduce more air into the engine than would naturally aspirate, meaning we can burn more fuel and generate more power. However, this increase in air and fuel must be managed carefully to avoid engine damage.
Compression ratio is a fundamental concept in engine performance. It measures the difference between the volume of the engine’s cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke versus when it’s at the top.
Boost refers to the extra air pressure created by forced induction systems. We use boost to compression ratio charts to maintain a balance that prevents engine knock or detonation, which can occur if the fuel-air mixture is compressed too much before ignition.
JUMP TO TOPIC
- 1 Compression Ratios in Engines
- 2 Boosted Performance: Turbochargers and Superchargers
- 3 Optimizing Fuel for High-Performance Engines
- 4 Key Considerations for Engine Tuning
Compression Ratios in Engines
In this discussion, we will explore the intricate balance within an engine’s heart that harmonizes airflow, fuel, and volume to convert chemical energy into mechanical power.
Defining Static and Effective Compression Ratios
The formula to determine SCR is:
where Vd is the displacement volume and Vc is the clearance volume.
Moving from static to real-world applications, our focus shifts to the effective compression ratio (ECR).
It incorporates the amount of boost pressure supplied to the engine by forced induction systems such as superchargers or turbochargers. The ECR gives us a clearer picture of the engine’s actual operating conditions by combining SCR and boost pressure.
Impact of Altitude on Engine Performance
For instance, at high altitudes, the atmosphere is less dense, leading to reduced air pressure (measured in bar or psi).
As we venture higher above sea level, the amount of oxygen available for combustion decreases, which can result in a loss of power if the engine’s calibration is not adjusted for such conditions.
However, forced induction engines can compensate for this by increasing the boost to maintain the desired power levels. It’s essential to consider altitude when tuning an engine’s compression and boost setup to maintain volumetric efficiency, fuel efficiency, and overall engine performance.
Boosted Performance: Turbochargers and Superchargers
In this section, we uncover the pivotal role of boost in altering compression ratios and the advancements in forced induction systems that underpin modern high-performance vehicles.
How Boost Influences Compression
When we talk about boost in the context of turbochargers and superchargers, we’re referring to the additional air pressure these components provide.
More boost means more air is forced into the combustion chamber, increasing the charge’s density and, consequently, its effective compression ratio.
The careful balancing act is necessary because too much boost on a high compression engine can lead to mechanical issues, while too little can leave performance on the table.
- Turbochargers and superchargers increase horsepower and torque by forcing more air into the engine.
- Boost pressure adjusts the effective compression ratio, affecting power output and engine efficiency.
Technological Advances in Forced Induction Systems
Our continuous innovation drives the evolution of turbochargers and superchargers, leading to more sophisticated forced-induction engines.
Today’s systems improve airflow, manage exhaust back pressure more effectively, and are key to achieving peak power from an engine.
Technologies like variable turbine geometry and dual-stage supercharging allow for more flexibility in managing boost levels, ensuring that engines can provide more power with fewer trade-offs.
|Variable Turbine Geometry
|Adjusts boost across the rev range
|Improved throttle response
|Allows for high peak power
|Consistent performance under various conditions
Optimizing Fuel for High-Performance Engines
Selecting the optimal fuel is a cornerstone for maximizing the efficiency and power output of high-performance engines.
Specific octane ratings paired with appropriate compression ratios can yield impressive fuel economies and significant power gains.
Selecting the Right Octane Fuel
The octane rating of fuel is critical as it determines how effectively the fuel can prevent untimely combustion, known as detonation.
Utilizing an octane rating that’s too low for a given engine may lead to ‘knock,’ which can damage engine components.
High-performance vehicles typically require fuels with a higher octane rating to support increased pressures and temperatures within the cylinders.
For engines with high compression ratios or those that employ forced induction like turbocharging, it is crucial to use sufficiently high-octane fuel to mitigate detonation risks.
Options range from premium pump gas with octane ratings like | [

The connection you once had seems to have changed. But why?
You may start to ask yourself: is she happy with the relationship? Have you done something wrong? Are you misinterpreting things and everything’s fine?
If that’s the case, then this article is for you.
Here are ten signs to watch out for if you feel like your wife is more distant than usual, and how you can start approaching the situation.
Let’s figure it out!
10 signs to check if your wife is pulling away from you
Your wife has changed and you don’t know where the change is coming from. You used to be affectionate, and loving, and your marriage was great.
Why is she suddenly acting cold and distant? Could she be trying to push you away?
Let’s look at the signs and find out why this might be happening.
1) Your wife is suddenly uncommunicative
We all have the right to enjoy our privacy, but if your wife didn’t hide her passwords and now she seems worried you’ll read her phone messages, it can be something to think about.
Answering mysterious calls away from you or tilting her screen away so you don’t see it might show that things aren’t as good as they used to be.
Unfortunately, this might indicate that the problem is serious. You should have an open and honest conversation if that’s the case.
2) Your wife is being dismissive
Suddenly, the conversations are difficult or don’t happen at all. She is quiet and disconnected from you. This, while challenging to go through, can point to several problems.
There might be different reasons for her to become distant. And these reasons may not be related to you or your relationship. For instance:
- She might be processing something negative;
- She doesn’t feel good at her job or someone is bothering her there;
- She has a crisis but is not ready to share it with you yet.
And that’s why she seems to be miles away.
You must ask your wife what’s wrong; and if she tells you she isn’t ready to talk about it, give her the space she needs.
3) She’s hanging out with new friends
This can be especially hard if your marriage hasn’t been that great lately and she suddenly starts seeing a new group of people.
It doesn’t necessarily mean the marriage is over.
Remember that people change over time, and maybe she wants to be more outgoing. If you love her, you should celebrate! She accomplished something hard for most people.
Send her on her merry way and compliment her about it. Of course, you can always tell her if you feel like you need some reassurance of her affection.
4) She doesn’t invest time in the relationship
Your wife might be busier with other aspects of her life, like her job or a personal project.
If there are certain dates she doesn’t have time for anymore, you can talk to her about it and see if she wants to rearrange.
If the change is bigger, like:
- She suddenly goes away on a special day;
- She can’t go on holiday with you;
- She is always busy whenever you try to organize something for the two of you,
it might be a sign that something’s off.
5) Your wife doesn’t make small talk
Every marriage has a bit of small talk that indicates the other partner cares. Questions like “how was your day?” are a given.
If your wife suddenly seems indifferent to how you’ve spent your days and how are you in general, it’s not only in your head.
Someone that loves you and has married you is supposed to care about you.
6) The sex dynamic changes
Perhaps she is indifferent emotionally, but she still wants to sleep with you. The signs are mixed and it’s okay to be confused.
Sex creates a connection, but if it suddenly starts to feel like she only does it to feel good and doesn’t pay attention to your needs, it’s not a good sign.
Talk to her about it and see if she’s still invested in the future of your marriage or if something has changed.
7) Your wife is annoyed at you
If everything you do annoys her or she suddenly starts mocking little things you do, it’s time to pay attention.
Sometimes people can grieve a relationship before cutting off ties, and a good way to start the process is to find details and get annoyed or angry about them.
If she snaps because you left the toilet seat up one time and it’s not something that normally bothers her at all, it can be a sign that she’s looking for reasons to leave the marriage altogether.

London: Bobbi Kristina’s spokesperson has denied claims that she is going to marry her adoptive brother, Nick Gordon.
There were rumours of her engagement after she stepped out with Gordon wearing a large, square cut diamond ring, but her representatives have said that the piece of jewellery is actually that of her late mother Whitney Houston.
“Bobbi Kristina is not engaged. She is simply wearing her mother’s ring,” the Daily Mail quoted her rep as saying.
Over the weekend the pair were spotted stepping out together hand-in-hand in Atlanta and last Thursday Bobbi Kristina was seen first sporting the ring as she kissed her beau on a date at a pizza parlour.
As part of Houston’s will her daughter inherited all of her jewellery collection.
The denial comes after reports emerged that Bobbi’s grandmother Cissy Houston has slammed the pair’s relationship, branding it “incestuous”.
On Friday Bobbi Kristina was spotted leaving an AT and T store with Gordon, who the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer raised as her own for 10 years.
The young couple looked happily in love and held hands as they entered and left the store, in their hometown. | [

Formac’s publishing program focuses on the following subject areas: Maritime regional, travel guides, history, biography, natural history, Maritime Provinces politics, and classic Maritime fiction reprints. We publish regional cookbooks and cookbooks with a fresh/healthy focus.
Our books celebrate the Maritime region, from Atlantic Book Award winning Captain James Cook in Atlantic Canada, to the classic, bestselling Sable Island, through a series of cookbooks using local Fresh & Healthy ingredients, to Colourguide travel through all of the Maritime provinces and beyond. Current events and public issues are explored through titles such as Power Failure? and regional history is revealed through books like Heroes of the Acadian Resistance. Authors are often subject experts, but all titles are intended for the general reading public, the home cook, and the come-from-away traveler.
Formac also publishes children’s fiction and non-fiction in the following two series:
Formac First Novels series -- beginner chapter novels for kids aged 6-9.
The Dreadful Truth series -- humorous histories for kids ages 8-13.
Formac is currently accepting submissions towards Formac’s First Novels, which follow a primary character through realistic and humorous tales with themes kids can relate to such as teasing, friendship, diversity and bullying. These beginner chapter books are for children just starting to read on their own, and are accompanied with ten black-and-white illustrations. Main characters are the same age, or slightly older than the reader (grades 1-4, ages 6-9). The word count runs around 4,000. Prospective writers are encouraged to read First Novels such as the Morgan or Lilly series to get a sense of what we’re looking for.
We are actively accepting new book proposals and will carefully consider all submissions that fall within our publishing mandate. Due to the large volume of mail that we receive, we will respond only to those proposals that interest us. When submitting a proposal, please include a cover letter describing your book idea, a brief outline (either an annotated table of contents or a chapter-by-chapter summary), a writing sample, a schedule for completion of your work, an estimate of its final word count, and your resume.
You can send your proposals to:

Metagenomic methods provide an experimental approach to inform the relationships between hosts and their microbial inhabitants. Previous studies have provided the conceptual realization that microbiomes are dynamic among hosts and the intimacy of relation between micro- and macroorganisms. Here, we present an intestinal microflora community analysis for members of the order Chiroptera and investigate the relative influence of variables in shaping observed microbiome relationships. The variables ranged from those considered to have ancient and long-term influences (host phylogeny and life history) to the relatively transient variable of host reproductive condition. In addition, collection locality data, representing the geographic variable, were included in analyses. Results indicate a complex influence of variables in shaping sample relationships in which signal for host phylogeny is recovered at broad taxonomic levels (family), whereas intrafamilial analyses disclosed various degrees of resolution for the remaining variables. Although cumulative probabilities of assignment indicated both reproductive condition and geography influenced relationships, comparison of ecological measures among groups revealed statistical differences between most variable classifications. For example, ranked ecological diversity was associated with host phylogeny (deeper coalescences among families were associated with more microfloral diversity), dietary strategy (herbivory generally retained higher diversity than carnivory) and reproductive condition (reproductively active females displayed more diverse microflora than nonreproductive conditions). Overall, the results of this study describe a complex process shaping microflora communities of wildlife species as well as provide avenues for future research that will further inform the nature of symbiosis between microflora communities and hosts. | [

The battle for Scotland’s National Performance Centre for Sport is hotting up.
And Dundee City Council will have to fight harder for it now Perth has swooped in with its own official bid.
But proposals to place the vast centre in Camperdown Country Park have been met with mixed reactions.
Andrew Llanwarne, co-ordinator for Friends of the Earth Tayside, said the choice was ill-advised and questioned whether the benefit outweighed what would be lost.
He said: “In my own opinion, it is wrong to put these facilities in Camperdown Park.
“Camperdown is one of Dundee’s most important environmental assets. It’s a green space everyone can enjoy and get benefit from.
“Dundee is very densely populated and built up and our parks should be highly-prized resources.
“It will take up a big chunk of the park. The artificial pitches will take away the biodiversity and there is also the disturbance to wildlife and park visitors to consider.
“The idea of a large sports centre sounds great but we have to be very careful about what we’re giving up to get it.
“And the many people who do not take part in sports and whose children or grandchildren won’t use the facilities may well much rather keep the park as it is.”
Camperdown Park features within its grounds Campderdown House, the Camperdown Wildlife Centre, and, nearby there’s the Clatto reservoir, Dundee’s centre for outdoor watersports.
A council report recommended the south-east corner of the park as the most appropriate location for the sports centre. This was because of the ability to expand there in the future as a site for potential hotels, lower costs associated with building and the need for minimal disruption to existing facilities. The report also mentioned the area’s accessible location to main roads, rail and air travel.
James Crawford, of the Friends of Camperdown House group, was more positive about the proposal.
He said: “Camperdown Park is 200 acres. It should be used by the public. It will be good to have all the facilities in one place. People could come up to the house after enjoying their sports, sit down in the grounds and relax.
“I think it will be very beneficial to everyone.”
Lorna Ward, honorary secretary of the Dundee Naturalists’ Society, said: “As an individual I believe it would be good for Dundee.
“Mostly in terms of the employment it will bring and what it will do for our economy.
“It will be an excellent attraction and will be a good upgrade for the park. I’d rather Dundee got it than Perth. There are lots of red squirrels in the park. But, as long as the wildlife is accounted for, I can’t see a problem.”
But Mr Llanwarne called for more public involvement in the plans.
He said: “We need to talk about it with the people of Dundee and the council needs to disclose everything before anything is done in Camperdown Park. We need more information about the planned size and exact location of the facilities before a decision is taken.”
Ken Guild, leader of Dundee City Council administration, said: “The proposed site at Camperdown best matched the Scottish Football Association criteria. One key requirement it fulfils is privacy and seclusion for the players.
“The other thing we learned from visiting St George’s Park in Burton-on-Trent is that residents’ accommodation is very important and we are able on this particular site to include it.
“Camperdown is also owned by the council which means there are no complications with private owners.” | [

A Land Mark in the History of British Columbia
Five Kakars Recognized by British Columbia
VICTORIA, BC, March 20, 2006
Dr. Raghbir Singh Bains,
Surrey, BC Canada
After unanimous decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in
recognizing the wearing of Kirpan by the Sikh students in
educational institutions throughout the country, British Columbia
has become the second province in Canada to recognize Vaisakhi
and the Five articles of Sikh Faith in a row. The Province
of Manitoba was the first province in Canada to grant such
recognition to the Five Kakars of the Sikhs on July 13, 1999.
This motion is already underway in the province of Ontario.
The motion #49 for recognition of Vaisakhi and the five Sikh
Kakars was tabled by Jagrup Singh Brar
NDP MLA in the Assembly of British Columbia. The
purpose of this motion is to recognize and reaffirm the values
of multiculturalism, human rights, equality, racial and religious
tolerance in B.C especially the recognition of Vaisakhi and
Articles of Sikh Faith..
Sukhdeep Singh (Dave) Hayer, a senior MLA of the BC
Liberal party, supported the motion. He retold the history
of the Sikhs when Khalsa was initiated by Guru Gobind Singh
on the day of Vaisakhi at Sri Kesgarh Sahib in 1699 to stand
for justice, dignity of meek and weak. He went on supporting
the motion by saying that that B.C. was the first province
in Canada to celebrate and pass a proclamation recognizing
the 400 years of Guru Granth Sahib Ji in the Golden Temple
Honorable Minister Micheal De Jong and house leader,
who recently came back from his short visit of Punjab, appreciated
the nobility of the Sikh people and paid his tribute to the
Sikh pioneers who came to Canada more than a century ago and
contributed vigorously to the prosperity of British Columbia.
He supported the motion of recognition of Vaisakhi and five
Articles of Sikh Faith with full fervor.
Harbhajan Singh Lali, a senior MLA of NDP gave a brief
account of the excellent and brave history of the Sikhs on
this historic day in the Assembly. He was enthusiastic to
see this motion passed in the House.
While taking part in the debate, Mary Polak MLA said
in the Assembly, Rare is the initiative that finds support
from both sides of this chamber. The values represented by
the five Ks are universal. They are values that speak to us
as individuals, regardless of our own religion or culture.
Truly, the ideals advanced by Guru Gobind Singh are crying
out to be embraced by a modern culture that often focuses
only on commercial or material success.
Gordon Hogg Government Caucus Chair repeated the motion on
behalf of the B.C. Liberal Caucus, Be it resolved that
this house recognizes the importance of the anniversary of
the creation of the Khalsa, celebrated every year as the festival
of Vaisakhi; and the contributions Canadian Sikhs have made
to our country and our province; and that this house also
recognize the importance of the Panj Kakkaar: the Kirpana
ceremonial sword representing indomitable spirit; the Kesunshorn
hair, representing a simple life, saintliness and devotion
to God; Kanghaa wooden comb worn to represent a clean
mind and body; and the Kachhashort breeches, representing
Other Sikh MLAs who strongly supported the motion on
recognition of the Articles of Sikh Faith were Harry Singh
Bains, Raj Chouhan and their other colleagues.
Many of the MLAs mentioned unfortunate story of Komagata
Maru when in 1914 its Indian passengers were not allowed to
touch an inch of Canadian land and they were forced to leave
the Canadian shores. They reminded the people of the message
of Guru Gobind Singh regarding commitment to equality, dignity
and justice, for he has chosen to respond to the irrational
fears of others with great equanimity and patience.
It has been the historic occasion for the Sikhs worldwide
when a new history has been created by the Provincial Assembly
of British Columbia. All the MLAs who took part in debate
started their address by saying Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru
Ji Ki Fateh! The gallery was fully occupied by the Sikhs
hailing from throughout Canada to say thank you to the legislators
who made this happen. Amusingly, all the Kirpan wearing visitors
were allowed for the first time to | [

Angela Simmons Goes Viral Posting Her ‘Real Body’ Photos
Angela Simmons was a trending Twitter topic on Sunday (July 17) after posting several Instagram photos of herself wearing a bikini during Miami Swim Week.
Normally, a woman wearing a bikini in the hot Florida sun isn’t anything out of the ordinary, but Simmons was flaunting her “natural body” and unafraid to show off her ample curves.
And why shouldn't she be? Although the fashion industry has normalized very thin bodies for decades, it’s now starting to include women who aren’t a size 00, or size 10, for that matter. Still, the pressure to be thin and adhere to a mostly unattainable body type has plagued women (and men) for years. In an interview with HipHopDX, Simmons, the daughter of Run-DMC legend Rev Run and niece of Def Jam Recordings co-founder Russell Simmons, admitted she wasn’t always so confident in her skin.

Collette Cameron delivers a charming and witty historical romance where two imperfect people are absolutely perfect for one another. Captain Morgan Le Draco truly is a dashing wounded hero and Shona, Lady Atterberry is a young woman who feels completely out of place. When they are together neither feels like a social outcast. Morgan is a true gentleman and his chivalry is charming and almost magical with its affect on Shona. Watching Shona let her guard down and be herself when she is with Morgan was delightful. There interactions are so natural and I adored watching the differences between their personal time and their time with the rest of the house party. This was a roller coaster ride of emotions for me and I loved every one. I laughed out loud, gasped at the rude behaviour or some people, cringed at others actions and despaired at the conclusions some people made. But I loved every page turning, wonderful moment. If you enjoy swift, sweet and solid historical romances with beautiful settings and an engaging cast of characters this one is a must read. I couldn't put it down. I think you won't be able to too!
The Story: Shona, Lady Atterberry is absolutely miserable attending a house party where she is ridiculed and ignored until it's discovered she is a wealthy heiress. Then she meets Captain Morgan Le Draco who she wants to spend time with but Morgan feels she's too good for him. Can this wounded hero give love a chance?
He loved her beyond anything and everything—precisely why he must never marry her.
Love—sentimental drivel for weak, feckless fools.
Since an explosion ravaged Captain Morgan Le Draco’s face and cost him his commission in the Royal Dragoons, he’s fortified himself behind a rampart of cynicism and distrust. Now destitute and shunned by the very society that once lauded his heroics, he’s put aside all thoughts of marrying and having a family. Until he risks his life to save a drowning woman. At once, Morgan knows Shona’s the balm for his tortured soul, but as a wealthy, titled noblewoman, she’s too far above his humble station and can never be his.
Love—a treasured gift reserved for those beautiful of form and face.
Scorned and ridiculed most of her adult life, Shona Atterberry believes she’s utterly undesirable and is reconciled to spinsterhood. She hides her spirited temperament beneath a veneer of shyness. Until a strapping, scarred stranger saves her life, and she can’t deny her immediate and powerful attraction to him. Despite how ill-suited they are and innuendos that Captain Le Draco is a fortune-hunter, she cannot escape her growing fascination.
Two damaged souls searching for love.
Shona is goaded into placing a wicked wager. One that sets her upon a ruinous path and alienates the only man who might have ever loved her. Is true love enough to put their pasts behind them, to learn to trust and heal their wounded hearts?
For a heartwarming, inspiring story about the power of love, purchase your copy today of THE WALLFLOWER’S WICKED WAGER, the fifth book in Collette Cameron’s romantic historical Regencies A Waltz with a Rogue series.
Though this book is part of a series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone. | [

Why the “Rocketbank” and experts in the field of Astronautics was pleased with the crowdfunding launch of Sputnik “Mayak”, and users are disappointed. 14 July 2017 at the cosmodrome “Baikonur” launched rocket “Soyuz-2.1 a” which delivered into orbit of 72 small spacecraft, including Sputnik “Mayak”, which, according to the creators, was to deploy a pyramid of metalized polymer film and become “the brightest star in the sky”.
The authors of the spacecraft — engineering students of the Moscow Polytechnic University, which raised funds for “the lighthouse” using kraudfandingovom platform Boomstarter. The campaign ended on 10 March 2016. Assistance in project engineers had the advertising Agency 12.Digital and “Rocketbank”.
The cost of the project “lighthouse” amounted to more than 5.1 million rubles, of which directly to create, test and run went the 2.7 million rubles. The remaining funds were directed to the organization of crowdfunding, videoproduction, events and PR campaign, as well as website creation and mobile apps. With the help of fundraising on Boomstarter and on the project website, the creators of “Lighthouse” managed to collect almost 2 million rubles. Another 1.9 million rubles provided the “Rocketbank” is the total income amounted to 3.9 million rubles.
The difference in value temporarily covered Agency 12.Digital, which continues to raise funds to cover all expenses. Objectives of the project, in addition to the stated brightness, began the popularization of cosmonautics and space research in Russia, as well as increasing the attractiveness of scientific and technical education among the youth. In addition, Mayak needs to test the aerodynamic brakes, which in the future will allow to reduce the orbit space debris, and examine the density of the air in the upper atmosphere.
It is expected that the spacecraft will descend from an orbit on 15 August 2017 and will burn up in the atmosphere. To track the position of the satellite in the sky the authors of “the Lighthouse” presented a special application for devices based on Android. The iOS version is awaiting approval from the App Store.
In comments to be published on the website GeekTimes on the launch of Beacon, a discussion arose about the correctness of the calculations about the potential for satellite to become “the brightest star in the sky.”. Community members who have invested money in the project on Boomstarter, accused the authors of failing to the stated promises. The Lord had originally set an impossible goal, distorting all thought, and rushed to implement on the knee, and when they have it, went into denial and eventually even launched. The money was gathered at a bright reflector, not a very simple by modern standards companion for a fun group of students the author of the project.
Because of this, all the questions. If the satellite will not be able to see and identify with the naked eye, then all your project has clearly failed, because that was the root of all the beautiful statements in the campaign, and that is what people gave money. Otherwise we are back to the fact that the Baker just took part in charity and student activities.
The head of the team of promotion of the project “Mayak” and the head of the Agency 12.Digital Alexander Panov in conversation with vc.ru told that it is impossible to say that the companion was bright enough. However, he admitted such an outcome. The team, according to Panova, it is necessary to obtain data and is opened if the dome of the apparatus, taut whether the reflective film and what is the frequency of rotation of the satellite. Affect the visibility of the machine and high clouds.
For information about the device, the inventor of the “Lighthouse” and the head of the project Alexander Saenko had to go to one of the observatories “in the South of the country,” said Panov. “The dome is opened, the rest of the experience engineering team. They need more time,” he said. We all understand that this crowdfunding project a rebellious and unusual.
When we announced that the device will become the brightest star, that was based on their calculations. Even if the satellite will not become the brightest star for some reason (and while it is too early to say), we still happy I started it. We were the first in Russia have passed this way — from the inception of ideas, the team of enthusiasts to launch the device. Gentry also noted that this is not science, and popularization project, which is made to show that a team of enthusiasts can run your camera.
Mayak proved that the space will be able to engage not only government and large corporations, but also ordinary enthusiasts, he said. We do not give product output. We raised money for project enthusiasts, which by default was not a grocery. To tell that someone | [

January 5, 2003 -- "Real Women Have Curves" is a femminist film about a Chicana woman's rebellion against her parents and society's limited expectations of her. She also rebels against societal pressure to conform to a very thin image of what a woman should look like. It sounds like a film with a message and it is, but it is also very entertaining. This is not one of those films where political correctness is more important than developing the characters, or the story. Here, the story comes first. This is also not one of those feminist films with repulsive, two-dimensional male characters. There are some good male characters in the film. Although the director is a woman, she treats some of the male characters better in this film than some male directors do in other films.
America Ferrera stars as Ana Garcia, a high school girl who wants to go to college, but her parents, Carmen (Lupe Ontiveros of "Selena") and Raul (Jorge Cervera Jr. of "Bulletproof") tell her she must stay at home and help her Aunt Estela (Ingrid Oliu of "Stand and Deliver") at Estela's dressmaking shop. Carmen constantly criticizes Ana because of her weight, even though Carmen is no lightweight herself. She explains to Ana that it is O.K. for her to be heavy because she is married, while Ana is still single. Although Ana is not thin, she is attractive, and she has a boyfriend, Jimmy (Brian Sites), who likes her just the way she is. Ana's other great friend is her kindly grandfather, played by veteran actor Felipe de Alba. Although Ana's father would like to see her go to college, he does not force the issue because his wife is so opposed to the idea.
Ana's mother, Carmen, really plays the heavy in this film. Although Carmen presumably wants what is best for Ana, she doesn't treat her very well. It turns out there are some reasons why Carmen behaves as she does, but she doesn't come across as a very sympathetic character. Ana also has her faults, but she at least comes across as more reasonable. Estela is also an interesting character. It turns out she is under a lot of strain trying to run her own business. At one point Ana says she never realized how hard Estela worked until she began working in the dress shop. These are well-rounded characters in more ways than one. The acting is excellent in the film and the story is very solid. Character development is also excellent. This is one of those movies which make you want to know what happens to the characters later on. One thing's for sure, I'd like to think like Ana goes on to have the success and happiness she deserves. The cinematography, by Jim Denault ("Boys Don't Cry") is also very good. This film rates a B.

Aurora above Australia
As appeared on Astronomy Picture of the Day the Southern Lights or Aurora Australis is photographed above the southern coast of Australia near Melbourne. The Milky Way is visible over the southeast in the constellations Scorpius (at the horizon), Ara, Norma, Centaurus, and Crux (the Southern Cross, at top). On the right two satellite companions of our Milky Way are visible, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, each a galaxy of its own but much smaller than the Milky Way. Aurora is caused by the solar wind; energetic charged particles originated from the Sun. The Earth’s magnetic field traps these particles and many of them travel toward our planet magnetic poles where they collide the molecules in the atmosphere and cause energy releases in the form of auroras appearing in large circles around the poles. But when stronger streams of particles, made by solar eruptions, reach the Earth the aurora circle spread to the lower latitudes such as the southern Australia. | [

The present invention is related to magnetic sensing of motion in a microfabricated device. More particularly the invention relates to a magnetic sensing unit for measuring displacements or flections on a nanometer scale.
The miniaturization of mechanical components and devices provides new applications in various fields and allows insight in and the use of a new world, the so called nano-world. At the end of the 20th century the basis for the age of micro- and nanomechanics has been created. Batch fabrication based on today's chip manufacturing methods has been introduced which provides considerable potential for creating high-performance systems and devices at low cost. Applications in the field of mass data storage achieve much smaller storage devices and opens up the possibility of achieving storage densities in the range of hundreds of gigabits per square inch. In the field of microscopy, for example, the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and the atomic force microscope (AFM) has been introduced successfully in recent years for atomic-scale surface analysis. Such microscopy techniques, in general called scanning probe microscopy (SPM), use a flexible cantilever of very small dimension whereby the cantilever is fabricated by micro machining techniques. The cantilever with a sharp tip is scanned across a surface of a sample and the displacement or the motion of the cantilever is detected in order to achieve an image having an atomic resolution. A variety of optical methods have been devised to detect the cantilever deflection. Typical forces between tip and sample range from 6 to 11 nN, and deflections as small as 0.001 nm can be detected. The three different ways of operation are contact mode, non-contact or dynamic force mode, and tapping mode which allow the detection of lateral, magnetic, electrostatic and Van der Waals forces. Also, such a cantilever can be used to write and read data.
Although the present invention is applicable in a variety of micro mechanical applications it will be described with the focus put on an application to cantilevers.
Today, several techniques are known to measure displacements or the motion of cantilevers used in scanning probe microscopy (SPM), for example, or other microfabricated devices.
The optical technique, also referred to as laser detection or optical beam deflection, uses either the reflection of a laser beam at the surface of a cantilever and therewith the change of the laser beam's angle during deflection or the interference effects between the incident and reflected beams. The deflection of the cantilever is monitored by reflecting the laser beam off the cantilever into a photodiode. During scanning, an image can be formed by mapping this laser-detected deflection.
With a piezoresistive technique the change of resistance of a piezoresistive path defined at the surface of a flexed arm of the cantilever can be measured. In the article “Atomic force microscopy using a piezoresitive cantilever”, by M. Tortonese et al., Proc. of the Int'l Conf. on Solid State Sensors and Actuators, San Francisco, Jun. 24-27, 1991, pp. 448-451, the fabrication of a silicon cantilever beam with an integrated piezoresistor for sensing its deflection is described. A silicon on insulator material was used for the fabrication.
From U.S. Pat. No. 5,345,815 a microminiature cantilever structure is known having a cantilever arm with a piezoresistive resistor embedded close to the fixed end of the cantilever arm. Deflection of the free end of the cantilever arm produces stress in the base of the cantilever. That stress changes the piezoresistive resistor's resistance at the base of the cantilever in proportion to the cantilever arm's deflection. A resistance measuring apparatus is coupled to the piezoresistive resistor to measure its resistance and to generate a signal | [

Pink jelly with foily shimmer
Waterloo Place is a pink jelly with masses of shimmer, only the shimmer is foily. An uncommon combination, there's certainly been a mass of foil shimmer polishes over the past few years, but not so many in a jelly base.
Swatch shown 2 coats with no top coat. There is still some slight VNL due to that jelly base but I'm prepared to overlook that for the prettiness! | [

Consumer Risks in Fintech – New Manifestations of Consumer Risks and Emerging Regulatory Approaches
Fintech is increasingly recognized as a key enabler for financial sectors worldwide, enabling more efficient and competitive financial markets while expanding access to finance for traditionally underserved consumers. A critical challenge for policy makers is to harness the benefits and opportunities of fintech while managing its risks, including for consumers. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated the widespread transition of consumers to fintech and digital financial services, highlighting their significant benefits while also demonstrating how risks to consumers can increase in times of crisis and economic stress. This paper (1) identifies a range of consumer risks posed by fintech, focusing on four key fintech products (digital microcredit, peer-to-peer lending, investment-based crowdfunding, and e-money) and (2) discusses consumer protection regulatory approaches emerging internationally for policy makers to consider when developing regulatory policy to target such risks. Examples of regulatory approaches are drawn from country examples and international literature. The paper also discusses a range of implementation considerations. | [

SacOil, the South African oil and gas operator, has confirmed that Total has finalised 2D seismic date acquisition in the Block III in the Albertine Graben area of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Total, as operator, successfully completed the acquisition of 244km of 2D seismic data and currently the seismic acquisition contractor is demobilising. Sacoil said the survey did not encroach on the Virunga National Park.
Sacoil, which holds a 12.5% effective interest in Block III, said the next step is to process and interpret the seismic data, and integrate the results with the previously acquired gravity and magnetic data.
The acquisition program is in fulfilment of the minimum work program obligations. | [

Shengchun Yu, Yanzhen Pang, Guici Chen, Xin Zhou, "Dissipativity Analysis for a Class of Discrete-Time Neutral Stochastic Nonlinear Systems with Time Delay", Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, vol. 2021, Article ID 9932134, 17 pages, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/9932134
Dissipativity Analysis for a Class of Discrete-Time Neutral Stochastic Nonlinear Systems with Time Delay
This paper focuses on the problem of dissipativity analysis for a class of discrete-time neutral stochastic nonlinear systems (DTNSNSs) with time delay and parameter uncertainties. Different from the existing results on this topic of neutral system, a kind of discretizing the neutral system is considered. Firstly, a sufficient condition of the dissipativity, which is dependent on the solution of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii technique and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), is established. Moreover, the state-feedback controller is designed to guarantee the dissipative performance of the closed-loop system. The effectiveness of the theoretical results is finally demonstrated by a numerical example.
Time delay is an ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, which is the main reason of oscillation, instability, and bad system performance of the control system. As a result, the problem of time delay is inevitably involved in many control systems [1–5]. At the same time, it is not only the time delay that has an impact on the system; random factors also exist objectively in the actual production, and the influence of random errors can hardly be ignored [1, 6–12]. Accordingly, the work of a stochastic time-delay system is particularly important.
In the research of stochastic time-delay systems, neutral stochastic time-delay systems are a special and crucial kind of control systems with time delay, which are widely used in natural science and engineering technology, such as economics, automatic control theory, medicine, biology, and chemistry. Neutral time-delay systems are those in which both the state and state derivative are delayed. Furthermore, the delay in general system state is called discrete delay, and the delay in system state derivative is called neutral delay, which can reflect the change law of things more profoundly and accurately and reveal the essence of things. Therefore, it is necessary to study the neutral stochastic delay systems, which have captured the attention of a large number of scholars [1, 8–10].
As we all know, most phenomena in nature are described by nonlinear systems [3, 13–16]. Although the research results of stochastic nonlinear systems are not as much as those of linear stochastic systems, there are also rich achievements [2, 17–22]. Based on fixed point theory, Wu et al. investigated the asymptotic mean square stability of the nonlinear neutral stochastic differential equations with time-varying delays. Without assuming linear growth conditions, Shen et al. studied the boundedness and exponential stability of the exact solution, whose results can be applied to practical applications.
The notion of dissipative in control systems has caused many scholars’ concern since it was introduced by Willems firstly, due to its wide applications in control theory and practical systems such as robotic systems, electromechanical systems, power systems, internal combustion engine engineering, and chemical processes [3, 11, 24–26]. Dissipativity is a very important concept in a control system, and as special cases, the concepts of performance and passivity exist widely in the fields of physics, applied mathematics, and mechanics, (see, for example, [26, 27]. By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii Functional (LKF), Cao et al. focused on the problem of the global asymptotic stability and dissipativity problem for a class of neutral-type stochastic Markovian Jump Static Neural Networks (NTSMJSNNs) with time-varying delays. Yang probed the robust control problem of nonlinear time-delay systems based on dissipative analysis. The problem of extended dissipativity analysis for delayed uncertain discrete-time singular neural networks (DTSNNs) with Markovian jump parameters and stochastic behavior was studied in. By utilizing the linearization technique, Hanmei Wang and Jun Zhao have investigated passivity and control of switched discrete-time nonlinear systems.
In a discrete system, namely, the discrete time system, the variables of all or key components of the system exist in the form of discrete signals, and the state of the system changes at discrete time points. Discrete systems need to be described by difference equations, which are widely used in social, economic, and engineering systems, such as automata, impulse control, sampling regulation, and digital control [12, 27–30]. In practical control systems, some discrete dynamical systems described by difference equations are often encountered. The stability research of them in | [

basic materials and important strategic materials for the national economy, people's daily life and national defense
industry, scientific and technological development. Agricultural modernization, industrial modernization, national defense
and science and technology modernization are all the non- ferrous metals. Such as aircraft, missiles, rockets, satellites,
nuclear submarines and other sophisticated weapons and atomic energy, television, communications, radar, electronic
computers and other cutting- edge technology required components or parts are made of nonferrous metals and rare
metals, in addition, no nickel, cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, niobium and other non- ferrous metals are not
the production of alloy steel. Nonferrous metals are used in some applications (e.g., electric power industry, etc.), and
the use of nonferrous metals is considerable. Many countries in the world, especially in the developed countries, are
competing for the development of non-ferrous metals industry, and increase the strategic reserve ofnon- ferrous metals.
Nowadays, non- ferrous metals have become the important material basis for the development of a national economy,
science and technology, national defense construction, is the key to enhance the national comprehensive strength and
the protection of national security key strategic resources. As the first country in the production of nonferrous metals,
China has made considerable progress in the development and utilization of the complex and low grade nonferrous
metal resources in the field of non -ferrous metals research.

In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly vital, pet owners are looking for ways to reduce their carbon pawprint and embrace eco-friendly practices.
Sustainable dog ownership is not only about making responsible choices for our furry friends but also about minimizing our environmental impact. In this blog post, we'll explore how to be more eco-conscious while caring for your canine companion, focusing on sustainable dog products, eco-friendly dog toys, and accessories that promote a greener lifestyle.
Eco-Friendly Dog Toys: A Paw-sitive Choice
When it comes to keeping our dogs entertained, eco-friendly dog toys are a fantastic option. These toys are made from sustainable materials like recycled plastic, natural fibers, or organic cotton, reducing the reliance on virgin resources. Look for durable options that are designed to withstand vigorous play, ensuring they last longer and create less waste.
Sustainable Dog Toys: Fun for Fido and the Planet
Sustainable dog toys not only benefit the environment but also contribute to your dog's overall well-being. By choosing toys made from non-toxic materials, you can keep your pet safe from harmful chemicals often found in conventional pet toys. Brands that prioritize eco-consciousness typically use eco-friendly dyes and finishes to ensure your furry friend can play without any health risks.
Eco-Friendly Dog Leashes: Walks with a Green Purpose
Taking your dog for walks is an essential part of responsible pet ownership, and using an eco-friendly dog leash can make a real difference. Consider leashes made from recycled materials or sustainable fibers like hemp or bamboo. These options are just as sturdy and reliable as conventional leashes, but they have a lower impact on the environment.
Sustainable Dog Accessories: Fashion with a Conscience
Dressing up our dogs can be adorable and fun, but it's essential to do so responsibly. Choose sustainable dog accessories crafted from eco-friendly materials like upcycled fabrics or organic textiles. Supporting brands that prioritize sustainability encourages the growth of eco-conscious businesses and a more sustainable pet industry overall.
Embracing Sustainable Dog Products
Beyond toys and accessories, consider incorporating a range of sustainable dog products into your pet's life. From biodegradable waste bags to natural grooming products, making conscious choices can significantly reduce your dog's environmental impact. Seek out products with minimal packaging and opt for those made with renewable resources.
Reducing Waste: Composting Dog Waste
One aspect of sustainable dog ownership that is often overlooked is the proper disposal of dog waste. Instead of using traditional plastic bags that contribute to landfill waste, consider compostable waste bags. Properly composting dog waste can be beneficial for the environment when done correctly.
Sustainable dog ownership is not just a trend; it's a commitment to a greener future for our furry companions and the planet. By choosing eco-friendly dog toys, sustainable dog leashes, and accessories made from recycled or organic materials, you can reduce your dog's carbon pawprint while still providing them with the love and care they deserve.
Embrace a range of sustainable dog products, from biodegradable waste bags to eco-friendly grooming supplies, and you'll be taking a significant step towards minimizing your pet's environmental impact. By making conscious choices as pet owners, we can create a more sustainable and compassionate world for our four-legged friends. Together, let's lead the way to a brighter, greener future for our dogs and the entire planet. | [

Details: This poster is of Visit of the Three Angels to Abraham, by Masters of the Holy Trinity Icon. It shows three angels seated at a table, with Abraham serving them.
The Holy Trinity is an important subject of iconographic representation in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. There are two different types of Holy Trinity icons: the Old Testament Trinity and the New Testament Trinity. The Old Testament Trinity subject is best known from the famous icon painted by St Andrey Rublev (created sometime between 1408 and 1425). This icon is actually more properly called the Hospitality of Abraham (see Genesis 18). The appearance of the three angels to Abraham at Mamre was a type of the Holy Trinity. The New Testament Trinity, derived from Western models, and only appearing in Orthodox art after the Fall of Constantinople, depicts the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit distinctly.
This poster is usually printed with a thin white edge border. | [

For many of us, it's been a wild ride the past few months. We had to take care of everything, making tough decisions, dealing with banks and the SBA and running the shop from the trenches. But, with things looking better each day, it’s time that we get back into the role of building and operating the company.
For many, the COVID-19 crisis is far from over. However, the sooner we begin to adjust and build for the future, the better off we will be.
Shop Owners are among the hardest working people on the planet. We find ways to get through the most difficult situations. I have no doubt that the lesson’s learned from this crisis will make us stronger and more successful.
USA Today article (Friday September 27, 2019 by Nathan Borney - USA Today) shows that “the average age of cars and light trucks on U.S. roads reached an all time high of 11.8 years in 2018.”
The article goes on to claim... “By 2023, there will be about 84 million vehicles on the road that are at least 16 years old, reflecting a 240% increase from 35 million in 2002, according to IHS.”
Are you getting your share?

The average age of light vehicles in operation in the U.S. has risen again as consumers continue to hold onto cars and light trucks longer.
Driven by technology and quality gains, the average age of light vehicles on U.S. roads is 11.8 years, based on a snapshot of vehicles in operation Jan. 1, an analysis by IHS Markit found. That's up from a light-vehicle population that was, on average,11.7 years old in 2018.
The number of registered light vehicles in operation in the U.S. hit a record of more than 278 million this year, an increase of more than 5.9 million, or 2.2 percent.
IHS Markit began tracking the age of vehicles in 2002, when the average age was 9.6 years.
"The average age of a vehicle has continued to grow ever since cars started coming out from Henry Ford's production line, if you will," said Mark Seng, director of the global automotive aftermarket practice at IHS Markit. "People are hanging onto them longer because they're lasting longer."
From 2002 to 2007, the average age of light vehicles in the U.S. increased 3.5 percent, he said, but from 2008 to 2013, the average age rose12.2 percent.
"We're kind of back to that same pace that we saw from 2002 to 2007," Seng said. "The average age of light vehicles in the U.S. accelerated so much because we were coming out of the Great Recession back in 2008 to 2009 and new light-vehicle sales fell like 40 percent over a two-year period. Even during the recovery years there were fewer vehicles being sold, so that just accelerated the average age of the fleets in the U.S."
For the first time, the analysis included a review of various regions around the country. The oldest light vehicles are in | [

However, when it comes to cutting costs, it doesn’t always apply to the roof, as that element is one of the most important to consider.
Nevertheless, some homeowners choose to go with the cheaper option, and asphalt shingles are still quite popular even when it comes to mobile home roofing. Asphalt is practical, relatively low maintenance and easy to replace. It’s also not too difficult or expensive to fix, when you need to just repair a broken shingle or some of the flashing.
Metal is also considered highly practical, and can last a lot longer than regular asphalt shingle roofing. A metal roof is ideal especially with the use of a lightweight metal such as aluminum. Of course, aluminum cannot be used as a standalone material for roofing, but it does wonders when used together with an efficient insulating layer made up of another material.
TPO roofing is also considered to be an inspired choice. TPO is flexible and easy to install, and it’s just as popular for mobile home roofing in some parts, as it is for the roofing required for certain commercial buildings, and can be installed by a roof company Southlake area commercial professional. | [

Real Energy on Monday stated that following completion of the five stage fracture stimulation program at Tamarama-1, the well has unloaded some frac fluids and sands. The company has now decided to mobilise a coiled tubing unit which will speed up the clean up of the wellbore in order to move into the flow testing phase as soon as possible. The coiled tubing operation is expected to be completed by the end of the week.
Real Energy expects to carry out the flow back and test the gas flows shortly.
The company has an independently estimated total mean gas in place of 13.76 TCF and a maiden 3C gas resource of 672 BCF.

Why is security policy necessary?
Regardless of size, it is important for every organization to have documented IT Security Policies, to help protect the organization’s data and other valuable assets.
Confidentiality– the protection of IT assets and networks from unauthorized users..
What are security policies and procedures?
An IT Security Policy identifies the rules and procedures for all individuals accessing and using an organization’s IT assets and resources. An Information Technology (IT) Security Policy identifies the rules and procedures for all individuals accessing and using an organization’s IT assets and resources.
What are three types of security policies?
The security policy dictates in general words that the organization must maintain a malware-free computer system environment….Three main types of policies exist:Organizational (or Master) Policy.System-specific Policy.Issue-specific Policy.
What are two types of security?
Types of SecuritiesEquity securities. Equity almost always refers to stocks and a share of ownership in a company (which is possessed by the shareholder). … Debt securities. Debt securities differ from equity securities in an important way; they involve borrowed money and the selling of a security. … Derivatives. Derivatives.
What is security measures?
Security measures refers to the steps taken to prevent or minimize criminal acts, espionage, terrorism or sabotage.
What does a security policy include?
A basic security policy should include: … Acceptable Use Policy for email, internet browsing, social media, etc. (click HERE for AUP tips) Access and control of proprietary data and client data. | [

With Christmas fast approaching, many people are wondering what church will look like this holiday season. Will there be Christmas Eve service? Will it be streamed virtually? Churches in the surrounding areas are trying their best to make attending church accessible and safe to everyone this year.
The Oregon Health Authority has put specific guidelines in place in order to keep many people safe this year. The guidelines depend on the risk rating of the county you live in. Currently Clackamas County is rated at Extreme Risk.
Currently, churches in Clackamas County are allowed to hold 25% capacity or about 100 people, whichever one is smaller, inside with a minimum of six feet apart at all times. They also must have a physical distance monitor who will control the entrances and exits and make sure people are staying six feet apart at all times. Other recommendations include wearing masks and limiting food offerings as well as keeping services under one hour long.
The Community Church of Sandy is still holding an in-person Christmas Eve service this year. They are following all COVID-19 guidelines to make sure attendees are safe. For people that are not comfortable attending in-person service, they will have the Christmas Eve service live-streamed and recorded on their Facebook page.
“My hope is we can have a service that at one level is very similar to the services we have always had because I think this will be comforting to people. But at the same time, I want people to embrace the discomfort and the differences for these things point us to the mystery of God taking on humanity in the person of Jesus,” Community Church of Sandy Pastor Gregg Chastain said.
With many things changing this year, they have also decided to only host one service because of the lack of in-person attendance.
“This is the first Christmas Eve service we will have ever done via live-stream, and while some will choose to be at the church physically, many in our congregation have chosen to only participate online since March,” Chastain said.
Sandy Assembly of God has decided not to have a Christmas Eve service this year because they are not able to safely facilitate it at this time.
Even with all this planning, things can shut down again at a moment’s notice and close the church doors for the season if COVID-19 cases keep rising. In the end, if churches feel they can take the right and proper precautions to keep members safe from COVID-19, then people should feel free to attend. | [

A variety of rose flower garden you can choose depends on the space you have available, if you need a small area then perhaps miniature roses are your best bet. Standard roses require more space and climbing roses also need space so that they can remain healthy rest, they should be planted at least 8 feet apart.
Roses are available in a variety of colors, but the descendants of the old roses are easier to pass, for, because they are stronger matter. You could design our rose garden in patterns too by planting different varieties, including between different sized roses with miniature roses. You can choose different colors and change them to create a pattern, or you can stick to one color, and choose different varieties, so that the pattern is not so much the color, but in different textures. Many people choose roses that complement the color of their house, or they use their home as a backdrop, stand up for their gardens.
A rose garden will accent. The house and garden, and it will welcome you and invite you to read the time in the open under the unique heady scent can spend only produce roses find the perfect roses for your rose garden boils down to. Finding the right rose bush for the terrain and climate Roses come in a variety of class and each has its own characteristics, which serve as a decorative or architectural features.
Walls find a perfect architectural accompaniment with climbing roses while the Floribunda roses produce a vibrant splash of color with a large spray of expansion. Roses offer themselves as hardy ground cover, which brighten and versatile with a beautiful color and emit a strong aroma. Types of roses are ideal for planting the roses, or even higher in the tree. The purpose of the Rose flower garden is offering the texture, color, shape and fragrance. | [

Trace metals in the aquatic environment are generally concentrated
on the surface of solid geochemical phases which eventually become incorporated
into estuarine and marine sediments. The mechanism of trace
metal concentration is believed to be adsorption with various geochemical
phases such as hydrous metal oxides, clays, and organic matter.
Several physical and chemical characteristics of sediments have
been proposed for use in tiered testing plans to predict the
presence of trace metals in estuarine sediments. Correlations often
exist, but the mere presence of a trace metal does not indicate
toxicity; a more thorough approach is needed.

Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer the 3rd Aceca Bristol manufactured, and one of just 169 Acecas produced. Its sister cars being a 1957 Mille Miglia competitor and a Ecurie de Trois Chevrons racer!
First delivered to AC dealer Johnson & Brown of West Bromley in September 1956, the Aceca has had several illustrious custodians, and has now been re-united with its valuable original registration plate. It has been the subject of significant expenditure, which is evident on inspection.
It retains its Bristol 125 HP 100D 1991 cc engine and benefits from the addition of an alternator, collapsible steering column, Moto Lita Ace 16” steering wheel, Williams seat belts and dual circuit brakes. The in-line six Bristol engine fitted to the Aceca-Bristol was based on a design from BMW with cast iron block and aluminium cylinder head. It has a single camshaft with pushrods running vertically to a rocker shaft on the inlet side of the engine and further horizontal pushrods running in 6 tubes over the top of the engine to reach the exhaust rockers. The two inclined rocker covers give the engine a similar appearance to an overhead - camshaft arrangement. Three inline Solex downdraft carburettors were bolted directly to the cylinder head casting using small adaptor plates.
Based on the open two-seat AC Ace, the Aceca was a hand-built grand tourer in the British tradition, with ash wood and steel tubing used in their construction. One notable feature was the hatchback at the rear, making the Aceca only the second car, after the 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4, to incorporate this element.
The front-end styling of the Ace and Aceca reportedly traces back to a design done by Pinin Farina for AC in the late 1940s. The car stayed light owing to a tubular frame, aluminium engine block and aluminium body panels. Large 16" spoked road wheels and near 50/50 weight distribution allowed exceptional handling on substandard road surfaces. All models had transverse leaf spring IRS, articulated rear half-axles, worm-gear steering, an optional overdrive on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears, curved windscreen, and leather-covered bucket seats. The suspension is independent at the front and the rear uses transverse leaf springs.
This Aceca has 2 large history files and 2 workshop manual files which make for wonderful reading. It has also successfully exhibited at prestigious concours d’elegance events, including a Judges Choice win at Blenheim Palace in 2017. This gives some idea of the outstanding condition. Benefitting from a recent £22,000 plus expenditure, this is an opportunity to own one of the few AC Acecas that are Mille Miglia eligible.

Members of Rockwood First Presbyterian Church are gearing up to celebrate the church’s 140th anniversary.
The anniversary of the city’s oldest-established church was officially in April, but the congregation is planing a formal homecoming celebration this summer to mark the church’s years of service to Jesus Christ.
The church began shortly after the founding of Rockwood in 1867 when E. Riggs Forsythe, a Presbyterian layman, took it upon himself to organize a union Sunday school.
The small group met under sheds and in rooms of a large sawmill plant built by Roane Iron Co.
Gen. John T. Wilder, founder of Rockwood and of the Roane Iron Co., authorized the construction of a structure at Trinity and Forsythe streets when he built the plant. This building was to be used for worship services by any and all denominations.
Forsythe organized the group of 18 Presbyterians who met there in April 1871 and established Rockwood First Presbyterian Church.
The small group continued to meet at the Trinity and Forsythe location until 1889, when H.S. Miller, company store manager and church elder, suggested erecting a church building.
Roane Iron Co. donated a piece of land on Rockwood Avenue for the construction of the church, where it remains today.
The church, in a quaint brick structure, is at 429 W. Rockwood St.
Rockwood First Presbyterian has taken advantage of many opportunities to extend a helping hand in the community and beyond.
In its mission statement, the church as a whole upholds the idea that the “purpose of our life and ministry as a congregation is... the shelter, nurture, and spiritual fel-lowship of God's children,... the promotion of social righteousness... that we may fulfill our chief end of glorifying God and enjoying Him forever.” | [

This paper presents a diagnostic-driven method of evaluating refracturing (refrac) techniques in unconventional wells. Detailed analysis across the lateral, using intervention based distributed fiber optic (DFO) measurements, allows for a comprehensive understanding of the refrac performance.
While there are various approaches to refracing an unconventional well, there is a categorical division of two main strategies: iterations of limited interval re-stimulation or re-stimulate the entire lateral at once. Stage-by-stage refrac, via casing-in-casing or coil tubing with isolation-type packer tool, offers potential control over stimulation distribution but often incurs heavier cost compared to refracing the entire well simultaneously. The economically favorable simultaneous refrac of all stages (Bull head) can be executed at a lower price but at the cost of not knowing the extent of lateral distribution.
With several possible approaches for refracing an entire lateral at once, further questions arise regarding which method provides the most laterally uniform re-stimulation and whether the resultant production improvement is from re-stimulated existing or newly created fractures. A major hurdle in both executing and evaluating the success of an all stage simultaneous refrac is the uncertainty of creating new fracture initiation points; furthermore, with complex heterogenic rock, different fracture designs, and different well completions, it is difficult to develop a comprehensive understanding of how well the refrac design worked. Diagnostic validation of the success of a refrac operation, as well as iterative improvements based on those learnings, is fundamental to determining a cost-effective strategy. A strong data set takes the guesswork out of refrac and is the best method for understanding how effective the refrac designs performed.

Chateau Petrus Sets Records at Acker’s Hong Kong Auction
Three double-magnums of Chateau Petrus 1990 and a bottle of the same Bordeaux producer’s 1947 vintage set records at an Acker Merrall & Condit auction in Hong Kong, where the top lot was 1988 Romanee-Conti Burgundy.
The three double-magnums of Petrus 1990 sold for HK$590,400 ($76,000) at the two-day auction and the single bottle of 1947 fetched HK$118,080, according to an e-mail from Acker. The case of Romanee-Conti 1988 Domaine de la Romanee Conti went for HK$984,000, compared with HK$907,500 paid for each of two similar 12-bottle lots at Christie’s International Plc (CHRS) in June.
Wine prices have revived over the past four months after the London-based Liv-ex Fine Wine 50 Index (LXFW50) slumped in November to its lowest level since March 2010. It has rallied 10 percent since then, including 2.9 percent in February, and in January advanced 3.5 percent, its biggest monthly gain for two years.
A case of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 1982 sold for HK$442,800, about 8 percent more than the 34,500 pounds ($52,600) paid for a similar 12-bottle lot at a Christie’s sale in London in February.
The top lot at the Hart sale was a 1990 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti assortment, which fetched $41,825, while three bottles of Romanee-Conti 1999 DRC sold for $35,850.
Following is a table of major auctions held so far this year, with the total sold. Links are to auction websites or results statements.

Gracefully tell humans and robots based on email better than captcha and
fully customized remote smart control forms
Easily Control provides email-based user verification feature which help you gracefully tell humans and robots including Human-verification, and Me-verification. Human-verification process guarantees the request is human operation, not computer operation. Me-verification process guarantees the request is my own operation and not someone else's.
EC server can host your server's forms. Easily Control Server provides professional form-making tools to make the perfect form page. You can create complex and boring forms in Easily Control. Users can fill out your forms on Easily Control and submit it. Easily Control will send form data to your website via instant messaging.
What is User Verification, why I need it?
This is a typical client server model that your server is using. This model is a distributed communication framework of network processes among service requestors, clients and service providers. In this model, your server handles all user requests, including user verification, form processing, account management, and application services. Of these, user verification and form processing are the trickiest. Why?
First, let's talk about user verification. User authentication is a prerequisite for processing user requests. It includes, Human-verification, and Me-verification. Human-verification process guarantees the request is human operation, not computer operation. Me-verification process guarantees the request is my own operation and not someone else's.
Simply put, you will be vulnerable to spam attacks. If there is no Human-verification. The form data you receive may be computer-generated, not written by someone manually. If your server receives a large amount of spamming data in a short time, your form processing will crash. Then, your database crashes. And in the end, your server goes down.
How do I do Human-verification? In fact, there are few options. All that's left is Google reCAPTCHA. If you are a webmaster, you may already be familiar with reCAPTCHA, but you may not know some countries don’t support the service such as China, you have turned away at least 20% of the world’s readers if you use it. If you are a client, you must have a deep understanding of it. CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.) is based on Turing-test. It's energy-consuming, time-consuming, and annoying.
Is your server ready for Human-verification?
Protect servers from spam attacks and avoid attacking others for being cheated.
Your server should have the ability to protect user data from illegally obtained or tampered with. Therefore, when transferring and modifying user data, it must be confirmed that its operation is indeed himself/herself. If there is no Me-verification. Your server may incorrectly transfer and modify user data. For example, during the registration process, send a message to an unverified mailbox.
How do I do Me-verification? In fact, there's no way, except to choose our method. Why? Let’s take a look at some of the current so-called Me-verification methods. The common approach is to send a security code to the user's registered mailbox. That's how Hotmail, is. Furthermore, it is to send a text message containing a security code to the user's registered mobile phone. Google, PayPal uses this method. In fact, neither method is safe Me-verification. For example, when they do user sign up process, they either send a registration confirmation email to an uncertified mailbox or send a confirmation message to an uncertified phone. Sending mail or text messages to uncertified mailboxes or mobile phones is not secure and sometimes illegal. If the user inadvertently or intentionally fills in the wrong email address or phone number, the consequences can be severe. More seriously, if your server is without the Human-verification feature, then your server will spam thousands of mailboxes or mobile phones. The consequences are terrible.
Is your server ready for Me-verification?
How it works?
EC verifies customer (client) via receiving email from customer. Once email is verified by EC, EC will notify merchant (your server) via sending ICN message to ICN listener URL. Merchants create an ICN listener page on their website and then specify the URL of the listener page in their EC account profile. EC then sends notifications of verification results to that URL. The ICN listener detects and processes ICN messages using the merchant backend processes. The ICN listener page contains a custom script or program that waits for the messages, validates them with EC, and then passes them to various backend applications for processing.
So, merchant can maintenance account management processes including register, login, reset password, change email, | [

For the fans, it is not just about their favorite car being fast, it must also look good while winning. Admittedly, most racing series do not change machine liveries at the drop of a hat. Instead, they save them up for special occasions, and NASCAR also follows this route.
In the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season, there have been plenty of great-looking liveries. A lot of them commemorated special events, milestones, throwbacks, or celebrated national holidays. Truthfully speaking, a number of them look absolutely gorgeous. However, one has to wonder what the best-looking liveries are.
The Team Penske driver debuts this patriotic livery at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May. It is worth mentioning that Keselowski has a tradition of unfurling the American flag after winning races. At Charlotte, he took patriotism to a new level when Team Penske rolled out a #2 car decked out with the American flag.
Almirola unveiled this interesting livery at the Kentucky Speedway in order to qualify for the All-Star Race at Bristol. In fact, his website read, “Let’s vote Aric into the 2020 NASCAR All-Star Race, and you could win bacon for a year!”
Back in January, former NBA star Kobe Bryant lost his life in an accident. In light of that, Ryan Blaney teamed up with sponsor, Body Armor to run a Kobe Bryant tribute paint scheme at the Auto Club Speedway. Fondly known as the Black Mamba, it was only fitting that Blaney ran a purple and gold tribute scheme with a snake-scale design.
Back in October, Kyle Busch and the M&Ms brand decided to ring in the festival of Halloween. So, the 2019 Cup Series champion raced in a special SKITTLES Halloween scheme at the Texas Motor Speedway.
Like Keselowski, Michael McDowell went down the patriotic route. However, his #34 Ford paid tribute to a late service member for the Memorial Day weekend at Charlotte. Emblazoned across the windshield is the name of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jonathan Farmer, who lost his life in Syria earlier this year.
Without a doubt, all these liveries looked absolutely incredible. Obviously, many NASCAR drivers view this as a tradition, and these special one-off liveries are quite creative. Now the 2021 season will likely be no different and we can expect a fresh set of liveries. | [

Thomas Hardy: Folklore and Resistance
This book reassesses Hardy’s fiction in the light of his prolonged engagement with the folklore and traditions of rural England. Drawing on wide research, it demonstrates the pivotal role played in the novels by such customs and beliefs as ‘overlooking’, hag-riding, skimmington-riding, sympathetic magic, mumming, bonfire nights, May Day celebrations, Midsummer divination, and the ‘Portland Custom’. This study shows how such traditions were lived out in practice in village life, and how they were represented in written texts – in literature, newspapers, county histories, folklore books, the work of the Folklore Society, archival documents, and letters. It explores tensions between Hardy’s repeated insistence on the authenticity of his accounts and his engagement with contemporary anthropologists and folklorists, and reveals how his efforts to resist their ‘excellently neat’ categories of culture open up wider questions about the nature of belief, progress, and social change.

LAS VEGAS—The new 4K LDX addresses two issues that Grass Valley President Marco Lopez said were problematic in live 4K sports production. The inability to get close and slow down.
“We were hearing that existing 4K cameras have limited storytelling capability for sports,” he said. “They have limited depth of field and zoom range. The LDX 86 has the same zoom range and depth of field as HD cameras.
“Another key problem that exists is that producers have had to choose between 4K and higher frame rates.”
The LDX 86 Universe—the new flagship of the LDX line—is switchable between 6x, 4K and HD. The switching is done through a software license, “so if you need 4K capability for an event, you can activate it with a software key,” he said.
The LDX 86 has Grass Valley’s proprietary Xensium-FT CMOS, and can be used in any camera position where a 1x, 3x or 6x camera is required.
The 86 was introduced in conjunction with the new K2 Dyno Universe, which does replay optimized for 6x and 4K.
“Existing 4K servers support only a fraction of the channels they support in HD, so they require double the servers, double the rack space and double the operators,” Lopez said.
The new K2 Dyno Universe does replay optimized for 6x and 4K in the same rack space, with the same number of servers and the same number of operators as an HD workflow, he said. It relies on solid state storage and is scalable by networking multiple systems over 10GigE. Grass also developed a new fiber transmission system, the XCU XF Universe to support the system.
With the IP transition is accelerating like a waterfall, Grass is trying to get in front of it. Lopez said that in talks with 200 customers around the world, three main points emerged about IP workflows: multiple video streams over a single Ethernet cable; format agnosticism; and the ability to integrate video from multiple remote facilities.
He said Grass created a “glass-to-glass” IP production system that incorporates both proprietary and generic routing from Cisco, HP and Arista, software-defined networking and commercial off-the-shelf hardware.
Grass will demo its G2G IP workflow, which features SMPTE 2022-6 compliant I/Os, the new GV Convergent SDN, the new Densité IP Gateway, Nvision’s latest 8500 IP Gateway, an IP module for the K-Frame video engine, a new codec board for the K2 Summit server and the new Kaleido-Modular-X IP input card.
The GV Convergent SDN, which uses COTS switches, is said to make routing IP video and audio appear the same as serial digital interface routing. The K2 codec board offers both “SDI and IP connectivity simultaneously,” Grass said. The new Kaleido-Modular-X IP input card integrates with the existing Kaleido-Modular-X product line. Combining it with current SDI input cards enables mixed IP and SDI monitoring on the same multiviewer.
Another product in the Grass quiver came out of a relationship with Sinclair Broadcasting, which needed an affordable way to do local inserts in digital subchannels. Grass and Sinclair came up with a Stratus card for the iTX playout platform.
“The idea was to create an inexpensive technology to be able to insert local ads in D2s,” said Del Parks, Sinclair’s senior vice president and chief technology officer. “The Stratus card enables Sinclair to run a schedule, comply with EAS, do channel branding and generates an as-run log for billing. It then can bring value to the subchannels.”
Parks said they now primarily run direct response ads on D2s—Ginsu Knives, etc.
“We’ve got to break that,” he said.
The new Stratus card links Sinclair’s playout operation to cloud software, which was “really quite a leap for us,” Parks said. “But we’re ready to make that leap. The very important thing here is we can control these cards.”
Sinclair now has a variety servers, he said, and this allows them to put a playout channel in the Densité rack that’s not tied into Sinclair’s master control system.
“As we build out our sports network, we will deploy more of these systems,” he said.
Grass had a few more Easter eggs up its sleeve, with iTX Integrated Playout Platform version 2.6 with a new broadcast engine, new K2 capabilities, new Densité modules and a new entry-level LDX-type camera.
The latest version of iTX is tuned for live content, managing highly dynamic schedules and late-arriving media by supporting multiple video format playbacks without | [

Parametric Stereo (English Parametric Stereo, abbreviated: PS ) is a method of parametric audio coding for lossy audio data compression of stereo signals.
A parametric stereo encoder created from a stereo input signal is a mono signal. To the encoder for each time point is still storing the main stereo parameters (for example, phase differences, pan information, surround ) the two input channels. The stereo parameters are embedded with a bit rate of S 2-3 kbit / as a parametric representation of the stereo information in the data stream. Using these parametric information, the decoder later tried as much as possible to restore the stereo signal from the stored mono signal. So the realistic illusion of a true stereo signal is generated for the listener.
Parametric stereo is used among other things as an extension to Advanced Audio Coding in MPEG -4 High Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding ( HE- AAC, so-called " aacPlus v2 ", " AAC v2" or " enhancedAAC ", " eAAC "). It allows an acceptable stereo quality at very low bitrates ( 16-40 kbit / s). Above this very low bit rates (ie, from about 48 kbit / s ) PS is not used for reasons of quality. PS is limited backward compatible: No PS -capable decoder provide for a parametric stereo information stream containing only a mono signal. | [

Invoicing properly is crucial when you’re a freelancer because it’s how you get paid. While you might look forward to invoicing because often it means that payday is near, I personally just want to get it over with so I can continue meeting my deadlines for the day.
While invoicing can one of the less mentally draining parts of your day, you’re not getting paid to do it so you want to make sure you’re efficient and take advantage of as many hacks you can to minimize the amount of time it takes.
The best way to do this is to use an invoicing software program to make things much easier for you – especially around tax time. Once you start using invoicing software, you’ll realize that the small investment will provide you with a ton of value that you may not be fully utilizing.
Here are 6 invoicing hacks you probably aren’t using and why you should start using them regularly.
1. Personalized Messages
Almost all invoice templates will have space at the bottom where you can make a note for your client to see. This is a great opportunity to send personalized messages to your client whether it’s a simple thank-you or a small reminder so you don’t have to send multiple emails.
If you want to let your client know that you’ll be on vacation for a week the following month, you can add a message to your invoice to remind them and they’ll be more likely to see it since they have to carefully review the invoice in order to pay you.
You can also use that section to explain any updates to your invoice that might otherwise confuse your client.
2. Managing Discounts and Tips
Another cool feature you can use (if your invoicing software has it) is including discounts and tipping options for your work. If you’re a web designer who runs a referral program, for example, you can automatically calculate and apply a discount to your invoice for a website project.
If you freelancing in a field where tipping is common, you won’t miss out on any extra money when you include a tipping option/feature on your invoice. That way, clients can tip you conveniently as they pay securely online.
Using these features can often boost your business and help you better track expenses and income since everything is will be applied/deducted on one invoice.
3. Automating Late Payment Reminders
No one likes getting paid late, but it happens at times especially for freelancers. Sometimes clients forget to pay or lose your invoice and it can be a pain to take time out of your day to follow up with them and try to solve any issues to ensure you get paid soon.
To avoid having to deal with the rigorous follow-up process, set your invoices up so that automatic late payment reminders will be emailed directly to clients after a set number of days.
You can write a standard brief and polite message to send clients as a friendly reminder and even to remind them about your late fees if you have any. This can help regular the flow of payments so you can continue to work and rest uninterrupted.
4. Integrating Time-Tracking For Hourly Pay
If you track your time spent on certain projects and use that information to create your invoices, your invoicing program may be able to help you do that automatically.
If your business thrives off your hourly rate, there are much better ways to track your time than by hand. There are several programs and websites you can use to track your time completing various different tasks. However, your invoicing program might do this for you which allows you to easily integrate the date when you’re creating invoices.
This will come in handy if you have a team as well and need to accurately track their time spent working on different projects and it makes things so much easier whether you invoice weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
5. Processing International Payments
Being able to process international payments is crucial if you work with clients outside the country. You don’t want to risk not getting paid just because your client doesn’t use the same currency as you.
Plus, if you’re living a more nomadic lifestyle and travel often while you freelance and need to get paid without all the hassle while you’re out of the country, you’ll want to make sure you can easily process international payments.
I once worked with a contractor who moved from the U.S. to Hong Kong permanently while we were working together. It was a big hassle trying to pay her for her work at first.
She wasn’t familiar with how to send an invoice. She wasn’t motivated to send them either since she couldn’t actually access the money if I paid her in U.S. dollars.
As a solution, I was happy to recommend an invoicing program that would allow her to process my payments so she could get the money she earned. | [

When the Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future was established two years ago, after the Obama administration killed a proposed repository for nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain in Nevada, one of the items on its agenda was to determine whether spent nuclear fuel was in fact waste.
Among advocates of nuclear power, considerable disagreement exists about whether the spent fuel can be considered waste, given that it contains unused uranium as well as plutonium, which is created in nuclear reactors and can be used as fuel.
France and Japan have factories that chop up the fuel and chemically remove the uranium and plutonium for reuse. And on paper, there are designs for reactors that could take some of the most long-lived, troublesome materials in the spent fuel and transmute them into elements that would be easier to handle because they break down in centuries rather than millenniums.
But such reprocessing is also a path to making materials for nuclear weapons, so the United States discourages it abroad. Presidents Gerald R. Ford and Jimmy Carter banned the technology here; President Ronald Reagan
lifted the ban, but so far it has not mattered, because it is commercially unattractive to American utilities.
On Thursday, the special commission on nuclear waste released its final report. It was not encouraging to advocates of reprocessing.
The report did not rule out reprocessing or a new class of reactors. But it said that “no currently available or reasonably foreseeable reactor and fuel cycle technology developments — including advances in reprocessing and recycling technologies — have the potential to fundamentally alter the waste management challenge this nation confronts over at least the next several decades.’’
Among other problems, it said, if there were some reprocessing, the country would still need a waste repository.
Most reactions to the report from the nuclear industry, utility groups and other related entities were positive. G.E. Hitachi Nuclear Energy, a manufacturer, was an exception. “G.E.H. does not believe that adequate consideration was afforded to advanced reactor and recycling technologies that could significantly improve the used fuel disposal process,’’ said the company, a partnership that makes many of the major components for G.E.-designed reactors.
The company said the country needed research on technologies “with the most potential to fundamentally alter our waste management challenges and achieve far more than storage of today’s used nuclear fuel.”
But Arjun Makhijani, a nuclear physicist who is a frequent critic of the Energy Department’s work, said he was encouraged that the report recognized that any form of recycling would result in the separation of plutonium, a potential bomb fuel, and thus could allow the spread of nuclear weapons.
The reactors that would break up the most troublesome materials, called “fast” reactors because the neutrons that sustain the chain reactions move faster than the neutrons in today’s conventional reactors, have already absorbed $100 billion globally in research and development, he said, yet they are still nowhere near practical.
The commission did not close the door on new technologies. “Advanced nuclear energy systems could offer a range of benefits in terms of broadly held policy goals with respect to safety, cost, security, etc.,’’ the panel said.
“In a world facing rising energy demand and significant resource and environmental concerns, including the threat of climate change, preserving an improved nuclear energy option could be extremely valuable,’’ the commission wrote.
It called for continued research and development. | [

My husband’s birthday is at the end of November. It has been on the same day as long as I’ve known him ;-), but for some reason, this year I struggled to get my gift for him done in time. As in, nothing would go right…it was as though I’d forgotten how to sew. SMH.
- I sliced into the front bodice (is it still called that for men?) trying to fix a button band and had to recut it.
- Any pieces that could have been sewn on backwards, upside-down, or wrong side out, I did it.
- Nearly cut too far snipping the corners off pretty much every single collar point/cuff.
- My cuffs still don’t look sharp and pretty as I’d like.
- I interfaced the button bands with too stiff of interfacing so had to recut them.
- My hems still weren’t level, even after adding length to the pattern pieces–which I still don’t understand, since I compared the side seams of the pattern pieces and they matched after my adjustments. You sure couldn’t tell it by the finished seams though. Hmph!
- There wasn’t a package of bias tape to be found that came anywhere close to the grey-green striped fabric–in fact, notions for that fabric were nearly impossible all around.
All I can say is thank goodness past me (because these fabrics were both in my stash for the last 4+ years) bought the full yardage recommended by the pattern! I wouldn’t have needed but about 2/3 as much, but all my goofs meant that the extra came in very handy! I guess the other thing that turned out really well was the sleeve plackets and my topstitching–both of those things are gorgeous on both shirts. Neither of them are something that anyone but me (and you–since you’ll get close-ups) will notice, but at least something turned out right! And all of this trouble on a TNT! I’ve made this pattern at least 6 or 8 times before!
I only included ^ one because it shows the blue shirt in progress in the back–proof! 😛 (Trust me, it’ll make sense in a moment.)
So here are the pictures of the finished shirts, all ready to be worn by my wonderful husband:
OK, so this picture is actually from this post, but it’s the exact same pattern, fabric, and size. So I’m cheating by not retaking the pictures. Call me lazy if you’d like. 😉
In the end, I’m glad I did these. Hubby’s closet was getting rather shabby–all those clothes he’s been wearing since 8th grade (Grrr! I wish I could still wear stuff from that long ago!) are finally starting to wear out, and all at once too! If I had more time, I’d probably replace a few more in his wardrobe, but the money is the same whether I make ’em or buy ’em, and I’m a selfish seamstress at heart. 😉
Modeled slacks! With bonus Christmas shirt action! (Click on any pic for a “slideshow” type thingy with bigger pictures.)
BTW, I never really noticed until today that we really don’t have a lot of color in our house. 😕 I mean, it seemed like we did, but as far as colorful rooms where we have enough space to take pictures, nada. So still not great contrast (sorry, K-Line!), but at least you get to see them on something besides the floor, right?
Yes! Finally! I finished up those slacks (a mashup of KS 3267 and Jalie 2107) that I’ve been working on for my darling husband! I even learned something new while sewing these up: you CAN take a welt pocket back apart after you’ve cut it–if you’re vewy, vewy, caweful. 😉 The trick is to make sure that you restitch very close to the clipped corners, but that you don’t end up in the cut part…this sounds obvious, but it’s more tricky than you might think. The ridiculous part is that I was so afraid to take it apart that I tried every which way from Sunday trying to make it look like a welt pocket without taking it apart (I didn’t find an acceptable alternative method, BTW) when it was so much simpler just to take it completely apart and do it right. Sometimes I’m just a stubborn glutton for punishment, and I don’t know why.
And I have pictures! None of the recipient modeling them though, you get to see them on the lovely “floora” (freshly vacuumed even!) instead | [

What is the present condition of Chernobyl?
The region is expected to remain uninhabitable for thousands of years.
Many of the radioactive elements decayed quickly, but the most dangerous—iodine-131, strontium-90, and cesium-137—have half-lives of 8 days, 29 years, and 30 years, respectively..
Are there any mutated animals in Chernobyl?
Wild Animals, Insects, and Plants in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The health and reproduction of animals near Chernobyl were diminished for at least the first six months following the accident. … The animals are radioactive because they eat radioactive food, so they may produce fewer young and bear mutated progeny.
Has anyone died from visiting Chernobyl?
Thus, the accident’s immediate death toll was raised to 54, with estimates from other groups ranging from 49 to 59. Several United Nations agencies have since adopted UNSCEAR’s 54 figure as the official tally of short-term deaths directly attributable to the Chernobyl disaster.
Is Chernobyl safe now 2020?
Is Chernobyl open to tourists? Yes. The site has been open to the public since 2011, when authorities deemed it safe to visit.
Is the Chernobyl reactor still hot?
The corium of the Elephant’s Foot might not be as active as it was, but it’s still generating heat and still melting down into the base of Chernobyl. … The Elephant’s Foot will cool over time, but it will remain radioactive and (if you were able to touch it) warm for centuries to come.
Is the Chernobyl plant still operating?
Both the zone and the former power plant are administered by the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management. The three other reactors remained operational after the accident but were eventually shut down by 2000, although the plant remains in the process of decommissioning as of 2020.
How long until Chernobyl is safe?
20,000 yearsMore than 30 years on, scientists estimate the zone around the former plant will not be habitable for up to 20,000 years. The disaster took place near the city of Chernobyl in the former USSR, which invested heavily in nuclear power after World War II.
Is anyone from Chernobyl alive today?
Contrary to reports that the three divers died of radiation sickness as a result of their action, all three survived. Shift leader Borys Baranov died in 2005, while Valery Bespalov and Oleksiy Ananenko, both chief engineers of one of the reactor sections, are still alive and live in the capital, Kiev.
Did a helicopter crash at Chernobyl?
The helicopter crash The dramatic scene early on in which a helicopter crashes while attempting to fly over the reactor — apparently due to the intense radiation — never happened.
Why did Valery hang himself?
David R. Marples has suggested that the adversity of the Chernobyl disaster on Legasov’s psychological state was the factor that led to his decision to die by suicide. Before his suicide, Legasov wrote documents revealing previously undisclosed facts about the catastrophe.
Was Chernobyl worse than Fukushima?
Chernobyl had a higher death toll than Fukushima While evaluating the human cost of a nuclear disaster is a difficult task, the scientific consensus is that Chernobyl outranks its counterparts as the most damaging nuclear accident the world has ever seen.
Did Chernobyl Cause Birth Defects?
Children are still being born with severe birth defects and rare types of cancer in areas near to Chernobyl, according to a British charity, three decades on from the world’s worst civil nuclear disaster.
How many people did Chernobyl kill?
31 peopleDeaths from Chernobyl 31 people died as a direct result of the Chernobyl accident; two died from blast effects and a further 29 firemen died as a result of acute radiation exposure (where acute refers to infrequent exposure over a short period of time) in the days which followed.
Is Chernobyl reactor 4 still burning?

Ultra-long endurance and ultra-fast deployment are the targets of new US programmes to demonstrate technology for future autonomous aircraft
Whether it is an aircraft that will stay aloft for its entire five-year life, or be rushed by rocket to fill a surveillance gap half the world away, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency wants to push the boundaries of unmanned aviation to extremes.
Exploring the outer limits of technology is DARPA's charter, and the agency has its successes and failures, but the stated goals of its latest UAV programmes are raising eyebrows.
"We want to completely change the paradigm of how we think of aircraft," says Daniel Newman, manager of the Vulture programme to demonstrate an unmanned aircraft capable of staying aloft for five years. "Aviation has a perfect record - we've never left one up there. We will attempt to break that record."
NASA work on high-altitude umanned aircraft with endurance measured in months laid the groundwork for DARPA's bold goal of five years aloft
Record breaking has played a key part in advancing aviation, from Bleriot's 1909 Channel crossing and Lindberg's 1927 transatlantic flight to Voyager's 1986 unrefuelled circumnavigation, but designing an aircraft that can be launched then not touched for five years seems a stretch, even for DARPA.
Northrop Grumman's Global Hawk UAV can stay aloft for 40h Aerovironment's hydrogen-fuelled Global Observer aims for a week and there are designs with endurance measured in months. "What would it take to force people to break with the way they operate aircraft, so they no longer operate it as an aircraft?" says DARPA's Wade Pulliam. "It's more than a month - five years gets you there."
The ability to "close the business case" on an aircraft that could be launched and then not maintained or brought home for five years would be a "paradigm shift", says Newman. "We would no longer define an aircraft by the launch, recover, maintain, launch cycle."
But the challenges of an "infinite endurance" aircraft are enormous, and include increasing system reliability, closing the energy cycle, maximising aero-structural effiency and preventing materials degrading over their long exposure to stratospheric flight.
To enable a paradigm shift, DARPA has set the goals for Vulture as five years on station with a 450kg (1,000lb) payload, 5kW of onboard power and sufficient loiter speed to stay on station for 99% of the time against winds encountered at 60,000-90,000ft altitude,
Essentially, the Vulture is an aircraft that operates like a satellite, but is not regulated by orbital mechanics. "It could be positioned over the battle, at 65,000ft versus 260 miles," says Pulliam. Operating as a pseudo-satellite in the stratosphere and not low Earth orbit would provide a 65dB improvement in communications capability, he says, and significantly increase onboard sensor resolution.
There are three architecture options, says Newman: a single ultra-reliable system equivalent to a satellite a modular vehicle where pieces can fly home to be repaired and replaced and an aircraft that can be serviced and replenished while remaining on station.
Energy cycle solutions
There are also three energy cycle solutions, one of which - nuclear - is barred from consideration. One option is to refuel the aircraft in flight. This favours fuel cells, says Newman, because they are more efficient and reliable than internal-combustion and gas-turbine engines. The other option is solar energy, either solar thermal, which is unproven, or solar electric, which is a proven technology.
But reliability is the key consideration. The Vulture reliability goal is 200 times that for the Global Observer UAV. "We have to design for inherent reliability," says Newman. "Dollars per pound is not the metric - this may not be the lightest aircraft. Outside of satellites, no one thinks about five-year reliability."
The Vulture is expected to draw heavily on spacecraft experience, pushing the reliability of components, designing in redundancy and graceful degradation where systems can fail, reducing parts count and derating components to increase their lifetimes.
There will be differences because of the environment an aircraft operates in compared with a satellite. "The day/night cycle is longer for an aircraft, so it gets a really cold soak then gets really warm," says Pulliam. There will be less radiation than in space, but higher ultraviolet than on the ground, with implications for how materials degrade over time.
A drop test in 2002 under NASA's Mars Flyer programme demonstrated that a folding-airframe UAV could be deployed at high altitude
Infinite endurance and ultimate expendability will also have implications for how an operational aircraft is designed, manufactured and tested. Because of each air vehicle's persistence, relatively few are expected to be built, and opportunities | [

The cognitive-environmental model (CEM; M. Fishbein et al., 1991) was used to understand the unprotected sexual behaviors of 156 gay, lesbian, and bisexual youths. Unprotected anal sex among the males was associated directly with poor protection skills (e.g., incorrect use of barrier methods, such as condoms), poor intentions to use barrier methods, and poor norms by sexual partners concerning barrier methods. Furthermore, the association between low self-efficacy and increasing unprotected anal sex was attributed to poor intentions. Direct associations of unprotected oral sex with poor intentions and poor partner norms also emerged, as did an indirect relation between unprotected oral sex and low self-efficacy via poor intentions. These last 3 findings were replicated when examining unprotected oral or vaginal–digital sex among the females. Relations among the CEM factors supported some CEM-theoretical propositions. | [

A healthy diet and exercise are great but if you put your body in harms way or your attitude is continually negative you will effect how fast you age. It is no surprise that I am going to have a bit of a go about smoking at some stage and a word or two about excessive drinking but there are a number of everyday actions that you can make that can effect not only how long you live but how well you live. Nobody wants to end his or her life crippled with arthritis and suffering from dementia and this anti-ageing strategy will help prevent that.
What Is Hydration?
We are as humans, made mainly of protein with a few other bits and pieces thrown in. Protein has an extremely high water content and if we were wrung out to dry we would lose approximately 75% of our body weight.
We need oxygen, fluid and food in that order and we can live for about 6 minutes without air, 6 days without water (in a cool and wet environment) and 6 weeks without food.
There are a number of people who will tell you that drinking water is not necessary as we can absorb enough fluid from the food that we eat (also water containing) and from drinking tea, coffee, alcohol and soft drinks. This is absolutely not true and while you can manage with varying amounts of water dependent on climate or activity level, you need between 1.5 litres and 6 litres a day in extreme cases to replace fluid lost through breathing, peeing and sweating.
Will Drinking Anything Do?
It is actually about the quality of the fluids that you are taking in. If you are eating a highly processed diet the fluid in the food will be contaminated with artificial flavourings, colourants and hydrogenated fats in many cases. Coffee is caffeine, which is a diuretic, and alcohol is a toxin that not only dehydrates but also impairs your kidney and liver function preventing them for removing toxins from your body. Drinking fizzy soft drinks is not healthy due to the incredible amount of sugar or artificial sweetener and all the other additives you are ingesting.
There is no substitute for water full stop. Here are the symptoms of dehydration that reinforce that concept.
Fatigue and sluggishness are mainly the result of dehydration.
Our bodies need balance, and they work very hard to maintain the equilibrium whether it is between calcium and magnesium, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, acidity and alkalinity. Even the smallest changes in fluid balance can affect all the other functions within the body including heart function which has to work harder in order to supply the body with the oxygen and nutrients it requires.
As you become more dehydrated your body will begin to make some executive decisions in order to ensure its survival if fluid intake ceases altogether. It redirects blood to the muscles and away from skin areas resulting in a malfunction in our cooling and heating system. We heat up internally resulting in muscle cramps, light-headedness and fatigue.
Because most of us take in at least some liquid our bodies are left in a state of readiness, not quite dehydrated but not receiving the essential fluids it needs to perform efficiently. This means that we are in a constant state of near exhaustion and the majority of our functions are impaired.
Lack of fluids causes headaches
As in any part of the body, the brain relies heavily on fats and fluid in the correct balance to function. We have already established that loss of fluids thickens the blood, causes the heart to work harder to pump oxygen and nutrients around the system. The brain function is dependent on both oxygen and nutrients and if you are dehydrated it will be affected to varying degrees. Headaches will also vary in severity to mild, just behind the eyes to full blown migraines. If we are in a constant state of dehydration, damage to the brain cells could lead to mental deterioration as we age.
Drinking water can ease skin conditions and keep us younger looking.
There are two issues regarding our skin health and dehydration. One is the inability to flush out toxins from the body, which then accumulate in the tissues and in the kidneys and liver. This can result in dry, scaly skin and conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Additionally water is nature?s moisturiser not only keeping our tissues moist and flexible but also keeping the nutrient rich blood flowing to the tiny capillaries near the skin. Water is actually one of the most effective anti-ageing agents you can use and it is very cheap.
Painful joints and muscles are the result of lack of lubrication.
Cartilage has a very high water content and dehydration will affect its ability to cushion joints preventing friction, pain and swelling.
Poor digestive function leads to chronic intestinal problems such as IBS.
The digestive process requires fluid. If you drink a pint of water half an hour before a meal (you should not drink excessive amounts with a meal as it dilutes the stomach acid needed to process food) it will pass through the stomach into the intestine | [

- Saturn is huge. It is the second largest planet in our Solar System. Jupiter is the only planet that is bigger.
- You cannot stand on Saturn. It is not like Earth. Saturn is made mostly of gases. It has a lot of helium. This is the same kind of gas that you put in balloons.
- Its beautiful rings are not solid. They are made up of bits of ice, dust and rock.
Saturn is encircled by seven major rings. In this photograph, a section of the rings is hidden by the planet's shadow. The Cassini spacecraft, launched in 1997 to study Saturn and its rings and satellites, captured this natural color image as it approached the planet in 2004.

|Title||Stagnation Point Flows of Wormlike Micellar Solutions in a Microfluidic Cross-Slot Device: Effects of Surfactant Concentration and Ionic Environment|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2012|
|Authors||Haward S.J, McKinley G.H|
|Journal||Physical Review E|
We employ the techniques of microparticle image velocimetry and full-field birefringence microscopy combined with mechanical measurements of the pressure drop to perform a detailed characterization of the extensional rheology and elastic flow instabilities observed for a range of wormlike micellar solutions flowing through a microfluidic cross-slot device. As the flow rate through the device is increased, the flow first bifurcates from a steady symmetric to a steady asymmetric configuration characterized by a birefringent strand of highly aligned micellar chains oriented along the shear-free centerline of the flow field. At higher flow rates the flow becomes three dimensional and time dependent and is characterized by aperiodic spatiotemporal fluctuations of the birefringent strand. The extensional properties and critical conditions for the onset of flow instabilities in the fluids are highly dependent on the fluid formulation (surfactant concentration and ionic strength) and the resulting changes in the linear viscoelasticity and nonlinear shear rheology of the fluids. By combining the measurements of critical conditions for the flow transitions with the viscometric material properties and the degree of shear-thinning characterizing each test fluid, it is possible to construct a stability diagram for viscoelastic flow of complex fluids in the cross-slot geometry. | [
