The Chaparral and McLaren M8B raced using the 1969 ZL1 Mark IV version of the 427 with impressive results. Specifications and mechanics of the L88 production model of the engine are virtually identical to the ZL1 although the block and heads are cast from aluminum rather than iron dropping the weight by 110 lbs-now with a dry weight of 575 lbs. (261 Kg). Other peripheral pieces such as the water pump and the special race tuned intake manifold is also of cast aluminum contributing to the lower weigh scale reading which is now in the same ball park as the Chevy small block cast iron power plants. The combustion chamber in the ZL1 extends into the cylinder heads, it sports a racier camshaft, no shroud on the radiator, and the idle is very ropy. This racing engine will only run on fuel with a high octane rating of 103 or greater making the race engine unsuitable for road use. The highest octane fuel commonly available at any public service station is octane 102 RON fuel (Sunco 260).
The ZL1 engine produced results that turned this power plant into a legend and subsequent dyno tests rate the engine at 376 SAE net horse power with surges at higher rpm of up to 524 gross hp. The particular engine tested optimal carburetor tuning, perfect ignition timing, open long tube racing headers, no air cleaner, and no power reducing accessories. There was another dyno test done on a different ZL1 engine this time in a COPO Camaro. This engine had been newly rebuilt and partially blueprinted but produced similar results with almost identical figures. The ZL1 427 engine was never produced in large quantities so very few units were available for testing '69 and '70. A well-tuned ZL1 engine in a stock car the engine not uncommonly turns in recorded times of 13.1 seconds for the quarter mile and reaching 110 mph which supports the 376 Net hp figure. Super Stock and Drag Racing Magazine recorded a professionally tuned ZL1 Camaro driver by drag race legend, Dick Harrell, doing the quarter mile in 11.62 seconds and achieve a speed of 122.15 mph. This Camaro is also equipped with S&S equal length headers, drag slicks, and has a few minor suspension revisions as well. Patrick Hale developed an accepted power/speed formula that suggests the speed trap time and the speed of 122.15 mph could have been reduced with larger racing slicks. The quarter mile results also suggest that the entire exhaust system from the manifold to the pipes was restricting the power in the production version of the L88 and the ZL1 engines. Extraordinary performance has a cost and the 427 with the ZL1 option for your 1969 Corvette was $4,718.00 which doubled the sticker price of a new Corvette in 1969. There were only 69 Camaro models with the COPO 9560 option roll off the assembly line. There were also 2 Corvette units with this factory ordered, but dealer installed, option produced in 1969.
Chevrolet turned the adaptability of the Mark IV big block components into a cash cow. They kept their parts retailers bins full of assorted high performance parts including complete replacement engines in crates; ready to drop into any appropriate model Chevrolet. Most of these items were originally meant for the Can-Am competition racing not for "over the counter" retail. They were marketed as heavy duty which is possibly an acceptable term for the equipment but actually most of these parts only increase the engines dependability at high rpm. The top power option 427 engines beginning in 1969 are equipped with a new style open "open chamber" cylinder head, up graded crankshaft, improved piston, and connecting rods which are all a result of the Can-Am racing program.

SOC 203 Social Problems discussion week 3/The Changing Face of the War on Drugs in the U.S
Drug abuse has been defined as a significant social problem. This discussion provides an opportunity to examine this problem as well as the ways in which our reliance on punishment as a solution to drug abuse has changed over the years, given the different populations now impacted by the problem.
For this discussion, review the following resources:
- Race, poverty and punishment: The impact of criminal sanctions on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic inequality
- Opiate Addiction: Sociologists Construct Distinct Profiles For Heroin And Prescription Painkiller Users
- War on Drugs Failure Gives Way To Treatment in States, Cities
- Race, poverty and punishment: The impact of criminal sanctions on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic inequality
- When Addiction has a White Face
- Recommended: Chasing Heroin (for transcript click here)
After reviewing the required resources for this discussion, please address each of the following:
- How has the issue of drug addiction and the 'war on drugs' changed over the past 20 years? In particular, how have the populations impacted by drugs changed?
- Is drug addiction treated as a crime or as a medical issue in our society? In your informed opinion, which should it be? Defend your answer using the resources provided.
- In your informed opinion, what do you think is the best course of action to address the drug addiction epidemic in the U.S.? Should it differ by which drug is being abused? Should it differ by the population using the drugs?
- Drug addiction is increasingly impacting whites, women, and middle/upper class people. How have these changes impacted the social construction of drug addiction in our society? In other words, how have these changes impacted the ways in which drug abuse is or is not criminalized and how it is treated by the criminal justice system?

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III Preview
- Related Games:
- Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War III
None shall find us wanting!
Many of us thought we'd never see another Dawn of War game after THQ went down the tubes in 2013, even after Relic was allowed to keep the IP post-bankruptcy sale. The excitement for both Warhammer 40,000 (WH40K) and real-time strategy (RTS) fans jumped over 9,000 when Sega and Relic teased Dawn of War III right before E3. After seeing the game for myself, I can assure you that the hype is real, and you definitely will not be wanting.
Chapter Master Gabriel Angelos is back (if you got the bad ending to Retribution, just pretend that didn't happen) with his Blood Ravens to explore the planet Acheron and, in this particular hands-off demo, take it back from them pesky Eldar who dare to think they own the place. Lady Solaria is also with them, driving her 14-foot mech that barely towers over Angelos. All Blood Ravens are big boys, like all the other factions of the Space Marines, but Solaria's Imperial Knight is damn near a giant.
Gabriel Angelos is one of the heroes available in the Hero class, and only one hero can go into battle at a time. Each hero has a unique ability, and Gabriel's is jumping through his warhammer ;Godsplitter move, whether it's jumping over chasms or jumping into the middle of the battlefield. Elites are also available for your army, and up to three Elites can be brought into every match.
Base-building has returned from the very first Dawn of War& game, a fact that made everyone in the meeting room light up with five-year-old grins. Now wherever Gabriel initially lands in the mission, he can take over a resource point and/or an enemy base and build a base of his very own. He will need one to harvest the various resource points scattered across Acheron as well as to replenish his troops that he sends to their deaths. Of course they're being sent to their deaths; they die today to serve the Emperor tomorrow.
The last half of the demo showed off several powerful additions. Units can enter a ring of heavy cover that can protect them from all ranged damage, for as long as the ring remains intact. The Space Marines can call drop pods from above to slam into the battlefield to provide reinforcements and crush anything beneath them at 12,000 km/h, according to the demo presenter. Against the Eldar's Fire Prism tanks, the Space Marines can send out laser-cannon devastators whose lasers deal more damage the longer they're focused on an opponent. If that weren't enough, near the end of the battle an Orbital Bombardment (aka Laser Beam Deaht From Above) wiped out the remaining Eldar forces in one fell swoop.
You can't imagine my relief when the game producer leading the demonstration told all of us that this particular mission they were showing happens about two-thirds into the main campaign, which has you flip control between all three factions in the game. The amount of chaos on the field, even without the Chaos soldiers, was overwhelming. I couldn't imagine how to keep track of all these units with all of their abilities, and of course this happens so quickly, all within seconds. I was starting to sweat in panic until the producer came to my rescue. I think I audibly sighed with relief. So much going on, and so many brightly colored explosions.
After seeing this game in person, I cannot express how much I want to build a new PC and buy a 4K monitor, just for this game. I have only recently gotten back into RTS games, and I think I've chosen the best time to do so. Since it releases in 2017, I'll have some time to save up that cash for that sweet, sweet new machine that I'll buy simply for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III. Don't judge.

When he woke up he saw himself back on the cold floor of the forest. Silence and the presence of the ogress surrounded him. The ogress was now looking at him affectionately.
"Grandmother?" He asked in an uncertain voice.
"Yes, my son. I called you master because your birth was the first of its kind in our clan—a god was gifted to mere mortals and I gave my life that night to the great One so that you and your mother can live. For twenty one years you were to live a free life. And tonight I have come to save you by adding another year to your life.
"Another year to my life? I don't understand."
"The great One whom I sacrificed my life to needed a soul for every year that you lived on earth. But my sacrifice only covered the first twenty one years of your life. That's why mumbling boy had to die. Darius was not supposed to die but since he threatened to shoot he became part of my mission's collateral damages. I had no hand in Lucy's death."
"I still feel hazy about all this" Suki said.
"You will live to see your twenty second birthday: Mumbling boy was the sacrifice."
Suki felt pangs of anger well up inside him.
"So they died because of me. They were my friends!"
"You hardly knew them."
"Does it matter if I knew them? All I know is that their blood will forever cry on my head."
He got up and began to pace around. He was no longer afraid. He now felt anger instead. He looked at the necklace he was wearing and for the first time removed it. His mother only told him that it was a gift from his grandmother and warned him never to remove. He had not assumed anything and so he did not ask why considering that fact his grandmother must have loved him very much. He heeded her warning taking it as a mark of love and respect to a grandmother he never saw. But right now he felt cheated and deceived and so with hot anger threw it at the ogress. His grandmother raised her hand and the necklace suspended its journey in mid-air. With a move of her other hand the necklace changed direction and placed itself back on the neck of Suki.
"I will never appear to you again except in dreams. From now on you have your destiny solely in your hands—to live and to die."
The Yehwe Zogbanu looked up to the sky longingly as a smile spread across her face. She continued, "Mumbling boy has been sacrificed so that you may live to see your 22nd birthday. But for you to live to see your 23rd birthday and the rest of your life's birthdays, you will need to sacrifice again and again to the great witch. For every celebrated birthday a soul must be given to the great witch. It was the way you were born. It is your destiny."
Suki stood amazed. The ogress was not done "…and since I cannot come back to save you, you must take on that mission by yourself. You are more powerful than you think. The creature touch the necklace round his neck and a blue spark lit up the whole forest. You now have the power to transform yourself into the Yehwe Zogbanu any time you wish to hunt. Just mutter the name three times under your breath and you will be transformed into one. I must go now. My mission is over and now my soul can rest in the underworld."
"What if I tell you right now that I don't believe any of the thing that you have said to me."
The Yehwe Zogbanu laughed sinisterly and the whole forest vibrated at the sound. "Two things will happen if you fail to heed my instruction and kill a soul on the eighth day after your twenty second birthday. You will die the most violent death and…" the creature paused.
"And what" Suki asked hurriedly.
"Since your mother is the last direct blood relative that you have she will be murdered in the most brutal fashion."
That struck a delicate chord in Suki's heart.
"You are lying. You cannot kill your own daughter."
"It is not me who decides who live or die. That right now belongs to you."
The Yehwe Zogbanu looked up at the sky again. "I must take my leave now. Dawn is almost upon us." She stretched forth her hand and a path appeared to her right hand.
"Follow this path. It will lead you home. Do not take any turning that you come across. Just walk straight until you come across the great oak tree. When you find it call your name seven times and a door will open to you. Walk right in and you will be home."
The ogress stretched her hand up and the sky tore apart as in a mighty gulf. "Take heed to all that I have said. On the eighth night after your twenty second birthday—hunt and sacrifice. This is the only way you can live…and your mother." And with that she was taken up in a pillar of smoke through the opened gulf in the sky.
Suki looked up in amazement. The forest was now gravely silent save for the cries of the night crickets. He felt the heaviness of the necklace round his neck. He thought of Mumbling boy, Darius, Lucy and the rest of the passengers. He felt alone. And as he took the path shown to him he thought about what he must do on the eight night after his twenty second birthday. Alone as he walked on the lonely path he shivered from the great heaviness in his heart. This battle was not over!

I tried to get my ribs as good as Old Dave's but didn't do too great! He had given my some pointers at the Ohio Gathering. The main problem was they were ready way too soon and I lowered the temp to hold them while I got the other food cooked. They were fall off the bone but still had great flavor.
I started this am making some buttermilk ranch dressing for over a bistro lettuce mix. Then I baked some potatoes for twice baked potatoes, adding some sour cream, buttermilk, seasoning salt, sharp cheddar to the filling and mashing them up. I added more cheddar to the top and reheated in the smoker the last hour.
I sliced some chicken breast, and marinated in a little olive oil, juice of one lemon and the Za'atar seasoning for about 3 hours. I gilled it on my Weber Spirit. For another side I sautéed some shitake and some baby bella mushrooms with onion and a few garlic scapes in olive oil and butter. I did the chicken for our daughter in law.
I sliced some tomatoes and had olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh Thai basil for over them.
Our daughter in law made a beautiful fruit pizza for dessert, with a cream cheese mix, strawberries, kiwi fruit, white grapes and blue berries. It looked like a work of art.
Every one though it was all good and we got filled up! Like David (Dr. Holly) I had more fun staying home and cooking for the family on Father's Day than I would have going out to eat! When you cook for Family it includes a little Love!

The Institute of Jazz Studies' (IJS) Berger –Carter – Berger Research Fellowship provides awards of up to $1,000 for travel and accommodation in conjunction with research conducted at the IJS. The research funds are designed to foster, promote, and support research by scholars using IJS collections. To date, over 80 awards have been given to scholars and students worldwide working in a variety of disciplines, including jazz history, musicology, history, African American studies, gender studies, etc.
The endowment was established in 1987 with a gift by composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Benny Carter (1907-2003) in memory of Morroe Berger (1917-1981), a close friend and Carter's biographer. Berger was a professor of sociology at Princeton University until his death in 1981. Carter's initial gift was matched by the Berger family, who asked that Carter's name be added to the Fund's title. Carter, his wife Hilma, the Berger family, and other donors have regularly added to the endowment over the years. In 2017 this named fellowship was expanded to honor Ed Berger (1949-2017), Carter's road manager and longtime IJS associate director.
Application Procedure

I have been stalking Flora and Fauna Cafe on Instagram for months now itunes download kostenlos herunterladen.
Their food creations and floral decorations are such a delight to look at – that my heart goes into an excited flutter every time I see one of their photos pop up onto my feed van youtube naar mp4 downloaden!
Anyway, I finally popped in with a girlfriend to try it out and it was just lovely. They specialise in super healthy, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free breakfast/brunch/lunch dishes george herunterladen.
We ordered two dishes to share, plus a coffee for me and a juice for my friend herunterladen.
First dish was a Green Tea Granola ($20), which they make themselves.
The serving was huge, topped with a variety of fresh fruit, flowers and served with your choice of milk (I chose almond) bibi und tina hörspiel kostenlos downloaden.
It was delicious, crunchy, and fresh. I could taste the green tea, and all the glorious seeds and nuts. But there was a strong flavour of almond essence or organic syrup (I'm not sure!) it was just a touch over-powering because I don't usually like almond essence herunterladen.
Nonetheless I happily gobbled up my share. The fruits were so yummy!
Our second dish was the Heirloom Bruschetta ($19) featuring 3 kinds of tomatoes, gluten free bread, avocado, greens and a sprinkle of feta exodus super unlock download kostenlos.
The tomatoes were just lovely, sweet and mellow (not too sour, not too tangy or acidic).
I was absolutely blown away by how delicious this dish was fnaf sister location kostenlos downloaden. It was truly bursting with flavour!
I would order this again. In fact, I would take someone special (like my husband) to this cafe and order this for him western games for free.
I'll definitely be back :)
Great: Amazing food, styling, gorgeous cafe decoration, great coffee.
Not-so-great: Price (this cost us $50 exactly), limited seating, no bookings, most of the tables were outside download youtube ps4.

Monthly Lovescopes December 2018
Tell it straight to your heart and shoot your arrows from the hip, astro babes. December's cosmic love lair is feathered with earnestly penned letters and lacey truths, as a pack of planets traveling direct, and wild child Sagittarius leading the charge, ask us to commit to clear messaging, upgrade stale beliefs, and immerse ourselves in the adventurously risky experience of loving. It's a karaoke booth month for choosing our duet partners with clarity, and relishing the sensation of stepping up to the magical mic with mojo, no matter the endgame.
With Pisces and Sagittarius energies echoing through December's hallways, the medicine is "mutable," and all about your heart's biodiverse potential to adapt and change. These are the zodiac's top-down convertible riders, who employ a sense of street smarts and experiential learning, letting themselves be affected and shape-shifted by every being they encounter. Coupled with a now direct Venus taking a final spin through Scorpio, we're ready to roll the dice on a bare-all intimacy, without fear of losing anything at all.
December's cosmic medicine reminds us that when we immerse ourselves in the wondrously strange, precious experience of reaching out for others in the first place, we uncover the hearts of gold that we've been searching for, filled-up with curiosity, rather than scrambling out of scarcity. Forget whatever you've been believing about the "way" love is for you, and show up for technicolor experience, no matter the heart shape.
So shake off old tunes and pack your bags for a romantic getaway to destinations unknown. When we rise to meet the moment without judgement or preconceived notions, we can surprise our hearts into brand new beats...

CECO Environmental is a global leader in the highly fragmented air pollution control market, with many well recognized brands. As an integrated set of 16 different companies, CECO can provide an end-to-end solution for even the most-complex process-driven air pollution issues. We view the company's capability to provide complete solutions as its chief competitive advantage over other industry participants, many of which provide a narrower scope of products or services to only one or two specific end-markets.
Over the last few years, the consolidated company (CECO and Met-Pro) has reported a low- to midsingle-digit organic revenue growth rate (accounting for intentionally discontinued business). Future growth drivers include an increasingly stringent regulatory environment, further expansion of business in China, growing exposure to the natural gas industry, and a more-sophisticated sales strategy. We expect these drivers to support mid- to high-single-digit organic revenue growth, in line with the average growth rate expected for the overall air pollution control industry. Management expects acquisitions to add four to five points to the growth rate annually.
The recent acquisition of Met-Pro increased CECO's revenue base by nearly 70% and enhanced the company's capabilities in emissions control, product recovery, and filtration; it also added high-margin fluid-handling products to the portfolio. We believe many investors underestimate the benefits associated with this acquisition, including cost synergies and cross-selling opportunities.
CECO Chief Executive Officer Jeff Lang has 30 years of experience in industrial and energy-related industries. When he joined the company in 2010, Mr. Lang implemented an "operational excellence" program by focusing on margin enhancement and exiting noncore businesses. This program has had a dramatic impact on EBITDA margins. Mr. Lang's focus has now shifted toward a sales excellence program, in an effort to boost organic revenue growth and aftermarket product sales.

Rotten Island
Rotten Island is an extremely unpleasant place, so hot by day the sea boils, so cold at night that all life freezes. And what life; ugly, vicious monsters whose chief aim is to make one another suffer. But it's the blooming of a beautiful flower in this hostile environment which leads to the destruction and transofrmation of this terrible world. Steig's creatures are angry in colour shape and deed and, though this is a moral tale, there seems to be rather too much emphasis on the negative for my taste. For sophisticalted readers only.

Swine Industry Ventilation
Scroll through product listing below, or go directly to: Curtain Systems, Ridge Systems, Panel Systems, Swine Equipment, Supplier Links
Curtain Systems
Insulated Curtain - These curtains are fabricated using seven layers of non-quilted fabric. The outer layer is a UV stable, 9.5oz white vinyl followed with a 4.5oz vapour barrier, 5 layers of non-woven insulating material, a second 4.5oz polythylene interior. Estimated R=3.0 insulation value.
The Faromor Insulated Curtain allows for initial air entry high on the side wall and reduces draft on the birds. It is available in heights from 2' - 8' with a variety of wind protection systems, and can be operated manually or automatically.
Ridge Systems
FRP Chimney - Higher air exit velocity of the chimney, achieved with less ridge opening, result in more equal air exchange thoughout the structure.
The FRP Chimney is available in three sizes - 24", 30", and 36" - and has a fully insulated duct section. The large 60" x 60" FRP Chimney's plastic molded roof is the largest in the industry and allows for large coverage to reduce rain and snow entry into the chimney. It can be peak or slope mounted. If dampers are used, they can be joined together in a series and operate either manually or automatically.
Panel Systems
VIP Panel (VIP) - Faromor VIP Panels are constructed from 1-1/2" polystyrene with white embossed fibreglass skins and capped with PVC channels. These insulated wall panels are used in those applications where heat loss and freezing concerns outweigh the benefits of natural light. Should natural light still be desired these panels can be equipped with fixed thermal insert windows.
The VIP Panel operates vertically as a moveable ventilation wall for hog barns. These panels permit non-interrupted side wall openings, and can be operated manually or automatically.
SolarVu Panel - Fabricated from aluminum, these panels are light weight and offer a high quality appearance. The panel tracking system ensures a smooth vertical 'open & close' operation over relatively large uninterrupted openings.
Faromor SolarVu Panels come in heights from 24" - 72", and are popular in dairy facilities, especially in parlours, holding areas and calf barns. They can be operated manually or automatically.
Swine Equipment
Exhaust Fans - When designing a proper ventilation system you want to transition from minimum to maximum ventilation as smoothly as possible. The 72" exhaust fan, with optional Variable Frequency Drive, goes from 10,000 CFM to 65,000 CFM, making it the most versatile fan in the market.
Exhaust fans are ideal for tunnel or exhaust ventilation in swine facilities.
Control Systems - Management and communication computers can be connected in a network and that makes it possible to exchange all relevant departmental data and optimize central controls.
This will enable you to create logs and graphs of any parameter you want, such as temperature, ventilation and humidity, and this will allow you to manage and control the technical results even more effectively.
Dampers - Motorized and non-motorized backdraft dampers are available. They are sturdily constructed from all-aluminum extrusions, and have roll form blades or extruded aluminum blades.
They are available in any combination of width and height.
Inlets - Continuous Air Inlets offer better overall product performance. They are available in white or black FRP shell with black extrusion, and come in 8", 12", 16" and 24" widths.
The Aim Boards (pictured) have a continuous flexible extruded hinge to prevent cold air leakage. They are laminated for strength and durability, and are UV protected for outdoor use. Also, easy to clean with high pressure washer.

Never Too Late Coaching!
Questions to Reflect Upon
1. Do you feel alive, vital?
2. Do you have dreams, desires, hopes, visions?
3. Do you feel excited about life?
4. Are you living intentionally?
If you answer these questions negatively, then perhaps you may want to utilize a life coach to help you LIVE more fully. Life does not have to be a series of safe and often deadening habits (including TV every night). Life can be bigger -- in the sense of better -- than what many older people are living. If this speaks to you in any way, contact me and set up a free half-hour consultation. Together, we will explore what is missing, what is needed, and how to engage life in a different way in the remaining years of life here on this wonderful planet.

Japanese Cafe Employs Paralyzed People To Control Robot Waiters
Disabled people can control the robots from the comfort of their own home!
The Japanese have once again proven that a great idea can be made even better. A new concept cafe uses robot waiters to serve its customers. However, these robotic servers are actually controlled by paralyzed people so you're still dealing with a real human being.
In November 2018, the Dawn Ver Beta cafe opened in Tokyo, Japan. The cafe, which was co-sponsored by the ORY Institute, featured several robot waiters who served and conversed with customers. The robots were so good at serving because there was an actual person controlling it. The real servers are actually paralyzed Japanese people who are remotely controlling the robots from their homes.
Welcome to Dawn Ver Beta cafe.
The amazing concept employs disabled people who suffered from diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other spinal cord injuries. They can work from home and still control the four-foot robots called OriHime-D. This is made possible with the help of a computer that tracks their eye movements. With some practice, they can move the robots, pick up items, and have a conversation with the customers.
It's a great opportunity for the severely disabled, who can earn up to 1,000 yen ($9) per hour. In addition to that, they gain more confidence and are able to somehow interact with other people.
Kentaro Yoshifuji, CEO of Ory Lab. Inc expressed the cafe's mission this way:
"I want to create a world in which people who can't move their bodies can work too."
The robots can interact with the customers like real human beings.
The Japanese cafe is certainly a wonderful concept for people who love technology but still want to connect with real people. However, it may take some time before Dawn Ver Beta cafe opens for the public. The cafe was only opened for two weeks but is expected to launch sometime in 2020.
What do you think of this awesome cafe? Would you like to be served by a robot waiter?

Awesome 'Shark Plane' Boasts Massive Windows, No Middle Seats, and Burns Less Fuel
Is this the coolest commercial plane ever or what?!
Even if you're a frequent flyer, we bet this plane will surely catch your attention once you spot it in the airport. Designed and built by Brazil-based aerospace firm Embraer, the aircraft called the 'Shark Profit Hunter' is probably the most badass one you'll ever see.
The new E190-E2 model has just toured the world and has stopped over in the UK, US, Africa, China, and Ireland. Aside from it's unique design, it's also got features that make it stand out from the rest.
A plane that looks like a shark – and more!
Drones Could One Day Rescue You From A Burning Building
This is an impressive concept.
You probably think that drones are nothing but an expensive tool to help you get those amazing aerial shots for your vlogs. Drones also have a bad reputation since most people think that they could invade someone's privacy. In fact, these human-controlled mini aircraft are banned in some places, especially in some urban areas.
However, you might be thanking drones in the future as they could potentially save your life one day. As you will see below, drones are set to accomplish some pretty cool things, too.
NASA To Build 'Supersonic' Plane That Can Fly From London To New York In 3 Hours
This plane is going to revolutionize air travel as we know it.
If you're a frequent traveler, you know that spending long hours in the plane can be a huge hassle. Fortunately, this problem may no longer exist in the future – thanks to NASA's efforts.
According to reports, the space agency and aerospace company Lockhead Martin are currently working on a new supersonic plane that could travel from London to New York in only 3 hours.

It Set To Overtake The Exorcist As Highest Grossing Horror Film Ever
Stephen King will be having a very happy birthday indeed today, with horror remake It looking set to leap ahead of The Exorcist as the highest grossing horror film of all time.
1973's The Exorcist traumatised a generation of movie goers with the story of possessed, puking pre-teen Regan MacNeil.
Her spider-walking, head spinning antics raked in $232,671,011 (£172.5m) in the US after several reissues.
To date, the classic frightfest has grossed $441,071,011 internationally, making it, until very recently, the unchallenged champion of the horror genre.
However, it looks like Pennywise has sneaked up from the sewers to pinch Regan's unholy crown.
The Andy Muschietti directed adaption of Stephen King's 1986 novel has captured the imaginations of audiences across the globe, with Bill Skarsgård climbing into the terrifying clown cozzie bringing thrilling malice to a new generation.
It had the biggest opening weekend for a horror movie ever, more than double the $52 million Paranormal Activity made and nearly triple third place The Conjuring at $41 million.
Hot on the heels of Stranger Things, this eighties coming of age/supernatural clown story has tapped into a very modern sense of nostalgia.
According to Deadline, It has currently grossed $386m (£286m) internationally in just three weeks; coming close to what The Exorcist has earned in over four decades.
It would be no exaggeration to suggest this latest incarnation of It will go on to become a horror classic in its own right.
Will It phenomenon herald a new golden age of well-acted and iconic horror movies?
We bloody well hope so!
Topics: Film and TV, 'Biggest Funnel Web' Spider, 'Care' Reaction, 'Cosmic Killer' Black Hole, 'Hotels with Heart' Pilot, 'Legal' Drink, 'Missing Link', 'No-Knock' Raids, 'Physical Activity' Spike, 'Skull-Breaker' Challenge, (My) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys

I AM He who saw all,
When no one existed!
I AM He who called all,
But many resisted.
For those who were found,
I marked them with My Seal.
My deposit is within them,
And they know it is real!
I found them,
On the highways and byways
Of every generation.
But all who rejected Me,
Brought about their own damnation!
I would that not one,
Would have been lost.
But those who rejected Me,
Rejected the Cross!

170.In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses,those who faced considerable work demands bud coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they couldn't get the job done.
本句的主干是those...were more likely to say...than those...其中,who引导的定语从句who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge修饰第一个 those, who felt they couldn't gel the job done则修饰第二个those ; they were in good health为say的宾语从句;they couldn't get the job done为felt的宾语从句。
get sth. done意为"做完某事",通常是由自己完成。如:I want to get my car repaired.我想自己把车修理修理。have sth. done意为"让某人做某事",通常由别人来完成。如:I want to have my hair cut.我想去理发。(让别人给剪头发)
considering, considered, considerable和considerate这四个词看似相似,意思却各不相同:
※ considering意为"考虑到,就……而论"。如:
Considering yomr son has only been learning French a year, he speaks it very well.考虑到你儿子只学了一年法语,他说得已经很好了。
※ considered意为"经过仔细考虑的;受人尊重的"。如:
My father is a highly considered person.我爸爸是一位十分受人尊敬的人。
※ considerable意为"相当多的,可观的"。如:
We need a considerable sum of money.我们需要一大笔钱。
※ considerate意为"考虑周到的,体贴的"。如:
She is so considerate-always thinking about her friends.她很善解人意,总是为朋友着想。

Vegetable Cous Cous
A light and versatile dish
This wonderful dish can be used on the side, as a snack, or the main attraction!
Alter to your tastes, or at least by what you have in your cooler: grilled salmon, roasted chicken, sauteed shrimp or chopped kielbasa- whatever you're feeling just toss it in.
Prep time:
10 mins
Cook time:
10 mins
- 1 package of Israeli Couscous, Large pearl couscous, or just regular couscous (make as much or as little as you need)
- Your choice of chopped vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, carrots, celery, onions, Lima beans, corn, squash, asparagus, broccoli, etc.
- 2 Tbsp Pour Olive's Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive oil or flavored olive oil (your choice such as garlic, lemon, or basil olive oil)
+ more for dressing the couscous afterwards
- 1/4 C to a 1/2 C white wine
- 1 C vegetable or chicken stock
- 1/4 C Greek yogurt, opt.
- Zest and juice of 1 smaller lemon
- Dark of white balsamic for drizzling, like Pour Olive's Sicilian Lemon or Grapefruit Balsamic
- Follow instructions on package to prepare couscous, set aside. If adding in a protein to this dish, prepare it now as well.
- In a saute pan over medium heat, add 2 Tbsp of chosen olive oil then toss in your chosen veggie mix.
- Saute veggies till slightly tender, turn heat up a bit and add in white wine. Allow to reduce just a bit then add in stock. Cook for a few minutes till the pan sauce has thickened/reduced.
- Optional: make a well in the center of the pan and whisk in Greek yogurt. This creates a creamier sauce without the added fat from heavy cream.
- Finish with zest and lemon juice, stir.
NOTE: adjust the amount of liquids in this recipe to suit your taste and the amount of couscous being used.
- Toss veggies with reserved couscous and top/mix in your protein.
- Finish with a drizzle of Pour Olive's UP or Flavored Olive Oil. I like to drizzle Pour Olive's Grapefruit Balsamic across the top as well for an added tangy kick. You can try out Sicilian Lemon balsamic or a dark balsamic for added flavor, too. Enjoy!

Governor Abbott has again amended his disaster proclamation to include an additional four (4) counties in addition to the 50 prior named disaster areas. The additional counties now included are: Bastrop, Burleson, Polk and San Jacinto. To view the full (latest amended) disaster proclamation with a list of all 54 counties that are disaster areas, please click here. As noted in prior alerts, evacuees from any of the 54 noted counties as well as emergency relief workers with documentation are exempt from all state AND local hotel occupancy taxes during the two week exemption provided by the Governor's proclamation suspending hotel occupancy taxes found here.
Hotel Room Availability Across Texas
We have provided both the Governor's Office and our membership directly a list of 800 numbers for the major hotel brands to provide consumers real time information about lodging that they can reserve in areas throughout Texas that may be reasonably accessible to the evacuees. Please utilize this resource as calling the hotel brands directly can result in the best, most real-time information concerning hotel room availability.
Suspension of State and Local Hotel Occupancy Taxes
State and local hotel occupancy taxes are temporarily suspended for evacuees from the designated disaster prone areas and documented relief workers. Accordingly, both the statewide six (6) percent state hotel occupancy tax and all other local hotel occupancy taxes shall not be charged to guests who are the victims of Hurricane Harvey or personnel participating in relief operations. This suspension is effective for a period of 14 days, beginning August 23, 2017, and ending September 6, 2017.
Accordingly, hotels should ask each hotel guest at check-in or at check-out if they are evacuating from one of the 54 disaster-prone counties noted in Governor Abbott's latest amended disaster proclamation. If the guest is from such an area or is a documented relief worker, the hotel should provide the guest a hotel tax exemption certificate to fill out and the hotel should not apply local or state hotel occupancy taxes to that guest's room night charges for the Governor's declared hotel tax exemption period. If the hotel's electronic billing system does not allow suspension of the hotel tax charges, a refund of the state and local hotel tax charges should be provided to the guest upon checkout. As noted above, each guest who is given this exemption from hotel tax should be asked to complete the standard hotel tax exemption certificate which most hotels have on site or can access through this link: https://comptroller.texas.gov/forms/12-302.pdf.
On the hotel tax exemption certificate form, the guest should:
- At the top of the form where it asks for the "Name of the exempt entity," the guest should write in their personal name, and their home address including the county.
- At the bottom of the form, the guest should check the box for "Exempt by Other Federal or State Law and write in: "Hurricane Harvey Evacuee from ——- (fill in) County." If the guest is a relief worker, they should instead indicate "Relief Worker" and include a signed statement from their agency indicating that they were dispatched due to the relief effort.
Hotels will also later document the provision of these exemptions in the hotel's monthly or quarterly hotel tax remittance to the local and state government.
Pet Fees and Pet Deposits
THLA has received a number of questions about pet fees and pet deposits. While there is no legal requirement for hoteliers to waive pet fees or pet deposits during a storm emergency, a number of hotel properties are waiving these fees and deposits as a courtesy for evacuees. Similarly, hotels that ordinarily do not allow pets are not required to change their policy, but most hotels are waiving these restrictions for evacuees. In all cases, if a pet is permitted, the hotel can hold the guest liable for any damages to the room caused by the pet.

In last Weeks Friday folder we got a list of Themes for this week as my son's school celebrates Dr. Seuss. Yesterday was PJ's, today is Wear Green and Crazy glasses, Tomorrow is backwards day. All easy. But, then comes Thursday.... Wear Antlers and a Heart. Ummm, wish I knew this in December! And since I couldn't send my kid with nothing I had to get crafty. I found a headband with rabbit ears so this is how I turned it into Moose Antlers.
First I found some of my Florist wire and twisted it around the ears and sticking out in all directions for my antler form.
Then I got 4 sheets of brown felt. I put one piece under each ear and traced the outline. My lines were about an inch away from the wire and ears. And then putting two pieces together I cut out the felt.
Ok, now pull out your brown felt scrapes and find some straight pieces or cut some to work. Wrap the head band with the brown felt gluing as you go
This is what you will end up with
Here is where I wasn't sure what to do. I thought about sewing the felt but then I wasn't sure how to slip them on the ears. So, Instead I decided on craft glue. I put one piece under the ears and taped the wires to the felt and then took small pieces of newspaper to stuff the ears. I then glued all the way around... but then the glue wasn't working by the time I got to another section. So what you need to do is lay the other piece on top and then gradually work yourself around the edges. Gluing and pressing till it holds and then move on.
Once you have both ears done you can bend them however you like. Here is mine finished.
And my model wearing them!
Now if you are ever faced with Thedwick the Big Hearted moose you can be super mom and make these crazy antlers.
