It all started from a simple dream. My father was a hardcore adventure enthusiast. He had a dream to join a band as a guitarist, compose music and travel the world on a motorcycle.
Unfortunately, he couldn't accomplish all of this as he passed away at the age of 34. I was ten months old at the time of his death.
Throughout my life, I have always wondered how my father was. What he must have dreamt about? What must have been his passions? It was during this quest to know him that I discovered my father wanted to embark on a motorcycle world trip.
I decided to accomplish this dream of his and that is how I was introduced to the world of adventure and motorcycles.
In the process of trying to fill in a blank space in my life, I found my own self, my passions and the strength I had within me to empower. I believe, my father gifted me the ability to discover and dream.
I travel every year for around a month or two.
Self-discovery. I believe empowerment is a macro term. Every individual regardless of their gender are empowered. It's all about "self-discovery". If a person doesn't have the ability to see through themselves, know what they are capable of and have the self-confidence, then, regardless of who they are, they can never be empowered.
To be honest, Pakistanis (including myself) have a widely misunderstood perception on feminism. I personally believe, feminism is about both genders not just women. If you ask me, I would ask all organizations and groups propagating to empower people to start from grass root level.
We need to educate both genders equally.
We need to establish self-grooming institutions in villages. Marching and chanting for rights will barely result in progressive results. Taking a production and solid action is what will bring the real change needed in our society.
Around 70-80% of the film was ficitonalized for cinema purposes. All the traveling parts were true.
The film's main aim was to use my story as the center pilot and craft a struggle of an everyday woman in Pakistan.
You will be surprised to hear this but I did not face a lot of challenges. Much of the challenge came from my own mind – the fear inside me. I had to befriend my monsters and come in terms with my inner securities. It's a mind game.
You can be the greatest motorcycle rider of the world but if you are fearful, you will never find the strength to push the throttle.

Yes! Pakistan has a lot of potential in terms of tourism. The government has finally taken productive steps to facilitate tourists and travelers.
I have two beauty regimes: one when I am traveling and second, when I am not.
When I travel, I exfoliate a lot every alternate day. Showering everyday is a must (depending on water availability). I always condition my hair and make sure I apply a mask whenever I have the time, to detox from the dust and dirt.
When I am at home, I usually exfoliate every other day with a homemade rice mask. I generously apply mositurizer and always clenase my skin after shower with either micellar water or eskinol. I also scrub my body with homemade scrubs and oil my hair before every wash.
Casual and simple. I am not a very fashionable person. A white/black shirt with jeans and light jewelry is my sense of style.
Every child has a unique story to tell.
I once met children in KPK who were living in houses made of makeshift hay and wood.
Most of their houses were destroyed because of severe land sliding and heavy rainfall but despite all this, they were very welcoming and continues to laugh and smile.
Why wait? You will always wait for that one day to come so that you can do this or that. But seize the world now! Find the time to go to that one trip you always wanted to take.
Find time for yourself, love yourself and never let anyone else tell you that you're not worth it.
High valued individuals never need someones else's approval or attention. Be a high valued individual.

I'm having a lazy Sunday after a trip to the pet store. I enjoyed my outing with Daddy since I got a lot of treats. Now I'm just resting until it is time for walkies and dinner.
I'm hoping for some of that new freeze dried food Daddy bought today! And that canned pumpkin, too! Oh boy, I'm hungry just thinking about it, woof!

Holy CRAP.
The years have FLOWN BY.
This entire week I have been up and down, up and down about the fact that I am turning 25 on Saturday (2nd of June if you fancy sending me a present).
But then I started writing this blog post, then I started looking for old pictures and then I realised, hell, I've had a bloody great life.
So, here are some thoughts that have been going through my mind recently.
Is that a grey hair?
What do you mean NOT LONG LEFT.
I Have Achieved Nothing
Well, that's not true but please stop telling me what your parents/ celebrities / everyone else has achieved by my age.
I completed high school, I completed uni, I managed to work and I have somehow come to New York. I'm average but I'm doing average well.
I mean, let's face it I don't think they will be making a lifetime movie about me any time soon.
…at your age.
Thanks Mum, you did produce an other wordly angel (me), but I'm glad this is something I haven't achieved.
I Can't Stand Children
Please stop handing them to me.
I'll love my own…probably.
Why is Music so Terrible Nowadays?
Who is 'Post Malone'?
She says while listening to The Beach Boys.
What the F*ck is a Mortgage?
Am I supposed to know about it? Am I supposed to have one?
Is Life Always Going to be as Exhausting…
as I am now?
Gin and White Wine are my Enemy, Vodka too
You really get to know yourself at this age, do you know what I mean?
For example I can only ever have ONE GIN AND TONIC because if I have more than this I become a bubbling mess.
White wine on the other hand opens the gates of hell within my brain the next day and the toilet bowl and myself become a lot friendlier.
Vodka, oh my.
Ironing, let's talk about that..
I genuinely think I'm doing it wrong, I can't be bothered and my shirts still look sh*t. WHY DOES EVERYONE MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY.
Always Think About Your Problems…
in the long run, because actually, they are pretty minuscule.
Remember that argument you had with your best friend a year ago? Yeah me neither because we're both ADULTS and we built a bridge and got right over it.
Same applies to f*ckboys, you are crying over them now but in a month you are going to be all HAHAHAHA WHAT WAS I THINKING and laughing at their Instagram.
Pre Drinks Are Nearly Always Better Than the Night Out
Thought I would join in on the 'unpopular opinion' craze.
Heels are a load of Crap
I may be 5'2 but I'm going to bloody embrace it because I don't appreciate the feeling of daggers in the sole of my foot, blisters on my ankles and not being able to feel my toes.
Trainers FTW.
Clean little and a lot.
If you consistently clean up after yourself, you don't have to do a massive spring clean.
I am yet to actually do this, but at least I recognize it now?
You are Allowed to Fail
It's okay to make mistakes, it's how we learn.
Forgive Them
Even if you don't want to, it feels so much better to push aside the anger than to keep that grudge all bundled up in your chest, which is exactly what I used to do.
Forgive and walk away, you will ultimately be the bigger person.
Are you Seriously Still Smoking?
Oh p*ss off.
I will quit, promise.
I am Perfection
Said no one, ever.
The naive side of me thought I would, you know, be eating healthily and exercising more – therefore looking more fabulous than ever by this point.
However I appear to be eating chicken wings and looking forward to my next beer.
When will bums be out and bellies in?
Put Your Phone Down
It's easier said than done, but Instagram can wait.
Have you ever scrolled back on your Instagram from two years ago? Me either.
Have you ever laughed about a funny occasion with your friends from two yeas ago? Me too.
Laugh at Yourself
I used to cringe, go red and not look at people in the eye if they brought up something embarrassing.
But you know what, I did that thing, it was stupid, it's kind of funny now and let's face it the people laughing have probably done something similar – and if they haven't – they are lying.
Day Drinking is my New Favourite Drinking
There's something nice about starting at 1pm and finishing at midnight.
Especially when the sun is out and you have an ice cold beer in your hand.
You Don't Know What a Video Tape is?
We should probably stop talking.
I am honestly more comfortable standing in silence in an elevator with someone I have never met than to discuss the weather.
I don't know you, you don't know me and I'm okay with that.
Theme Parks are Better as an Adult
Seriously, I regret to inform my parents that I probably did not appreciate the trips as much as I would have at this age.
Hint, hint.
Family is Awesome
You have a support network that can NEVER LEAVE YOU, how cool is that?
Family counts as blood relatives, but also those people you have picked up along the way.
You Don't Know
How that persons day has been, so try not to be a c*nt from the word go.
Age is Just a Number
I'm still 21 in my head.

Reginae Carter never seemed happier than she is these days with her older BF, YFN Lucci. Unfortunately, her followers cannot be happy for her, and they keep slamming her on Instagram for going out with an older man.
Unfortunately, countless hate comments flooded her post with people slamming her for having an older boyfriend.
'Is that Meek Mill ?' someone asked, and we'll stop here with the nasty comments examples because fortunately, Reginae still has a lot of supporters who are enjoying the fact that she is happy these days.
'@colormenae When I see y'all it makes me picture your mom and dad when they were young…Y'all are so BEAUTIFUL together! #BLACKLOVE' one of her fans said while another one advised her to 'Capture that moment of love you have for him. Remembering how you fell for him. That will always keep ya relationship STRONG! GO NAE @colormenae.'
'I support happiness. I love seeing people happy regardless of the circumstances around it. Jae's mom had her at 15 so why don't y'all expect her to date people close to her parents' age?? Let her enjoy her time whether it last or not she's young, so it's ok for her to have fun and test different waters. Enjoy Nae!! I wish I were 19 again..❤❤❤' another one of Reginae's follower wrote, reading out minds. We also support happiness, as well.
'I LOVE his single, but I can't get the unedited version for some reason that's my morning hype song to wake me up and get me motivated! Do what makes you happy. I'm happy for y'all' another fan advised her.

Premium aluminum craftsmanship. A rich menu of innovative features. Sleek, stylish design. Ultrathin and ultralight. We've engineered every component of the Yoga C930 2-in-1 to make your user experience better. Discover Yoga.
An audio system like no other
When we envisioned the Yoga C930's Rotating Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos® Speaker System, we weren't sure it was possible. Working hand in hand with Dol-by, we created the industry's first speakers that fit into a convertible hinge*—for powerfully immersive sound in every mode.
3-dimensional sound in every mode
Dolby Atmos delivers breathtaking, three-dimensional audio that flows above and around you with depth and precision. Combined with two sets of speakers featuring powerful down-firing woofers, custom tweeters, and unique vibration buffers that reduce unwanted noise, your audio will sound bigger, deeper and more accurate. It's sound you can feel.
Bring visuals to life
Combine up to 4K clarity with the ultra vivid imaging of Dolby Vision™. Experience brighter brights, blacker blacks, and colors never before seen on standard displays—the true red of an English double-decker bus, or the sharp blue of a summer sky.
Premium craftsmanship, contemporary style
Designed to be equally stylish in every mode, the Yoga C930 is crafted from premium aluminum with high-precision drills and polished twice for a luxurious feel. Choose from Mica or Iron Gray.
Never lose a thought—or your digital pen
We've heard from customers that keeping track of a digital pen can be a pain. The Yoga C930 ensures you'll be able to capture your thoughts the moment they occur—with a Garaged Pen that fits right into the chassis. Better yet, it charges in its compartment.
Rest easy—own your webcam
Webcam fright. Everyone's had it. It's the split second when you wonder if your camera is truly off—or if the people on your conference call have seen you in your pajamas.
With the Yoga C930's convenient TrueBlock Privacy Shutter, simply slide it open when you're ready to stream, and push it back into place when you're done. You care about privacy—and we heard you.
Instant gratification
Patience is overrated—sometimes you just want it done. The Yoga C930 offers up to 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processing, Intel's fastest 15 W mobile processor engineered for powerful responsiveness and speed in a razor-thin convertible.
Say the word with Cortana
Need a playlist that will wake you up, but not quite ready to get out from under the covers? Say the word with voice assistant Cortana. With the Yoga C930's long-range microphones, you'll be able to stay right where you are. We've got you covered from up to 4 meters away, even in sleep mode.
Press & pay
Log in and make secure payments instantly, with just one touch of your finger. Windows Hello and FIDO security ensure that your information is wrapped in three layers of security, so that your personal details never leave your device.

Special thanks to Emily Cunningham, Porter Wright law clerk, for her assistance on this article.
Since California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), many states have introduced similar consumer data privacy legislation, but so far only Maine and Nevada have passed legislation successfully. Nevada focuses on internet website operators, whereas Maine focuses on broadband internet access service providers. Both laws are generally narrower than CCPA, although Maine's law has an opt-in only provision. Continue Reading

This article contains spoilers!
If, like me, you're already a fan of Nashville then you'll be in the same mind in thinking that season two seriously fell flat. Season three is now on its third episode, and certainly looking more promising. The soap-style cliches, which all but ruined season two have been put aside and the humor has been brought back to life. Love triangles and songs of heartbreak still remain the best parts of the show, and its good to see the likes Jeff Fordam (head of Edgehill) loosing his power over those beloved characters. Whats happened so far? Well, the bomb dropped when it came out that Juliette has a bun in the oven (aka pregnant), Rayna chose Luke, for now (now known as Ruke, or Layna), and Scarlett and Gunner's relationship looks to be stepping up a notch once again. The best part of all this continues to be the array of country music written especially for the show, and the actors who sing those songs so well. Connie Britton, as Rayna, Hayden Panettiere as Juliette and Charles Esten as Deacon remain firm favorites and Esten's ability to make you both resent and love Deacon is certainly impressive.
The problem I, and many others have had in the past with this show, which always starts so strong but tends to fall at the last hurdle is the overwhelming number of episodes per season. Twenty two episodes is a hell of a lot, and the feeling of story-lines being dragged on too long as well as finding yourself disliking characters is the price to be paid. However, if the originality of season one (and the early days of season two), can be brought back, season three will be a triumphant return to country form. And you might just find yourself singing along, and downloading those records.

My View of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
(image courtesy of Intellectual Reserve, Inc)
Our Heavenly Father authored a plan for his spirit children to come back to Heavenly Mother and himself. They choose Jesus Christ to be the Redeemer of all their children. As part of this, Heavenly Father became the literal father of Jesus Christ in the flesh, Mary being His mother in mortality.
Jesus came as an infant baby to Mary. He was conceived by the power of God, and is therefore God the Father's literal Son in the flesh. Jesus healed "multitudes of people who were sick, and who were afflicted with all manner of diseases, and with devils and unclean spirits" during His ministry. (see 1 Ne 11:31) Jesus continues in His role as healer for all mankind. Jesus lived a perfect pure life, void of sin.
Jesus was crucified, died and then resurrected, being the first one to do so. At this time, he wrought the infinite atonement for all mankind. He is our Redeemer, and is full of love, compassion and understanding. "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows." (Isa 53:4) I believe He somehow suffered for our sins individually, all so that we would not have to suffer. (see D&C 19:16)
Heavenly Father promotes His gospel plan through His beloved son. All that we do should be in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah and Redeemer of all mankind. He wrought a perfect atonement so that the faithful can have eternal life, and that all people can be resurrected.
I recorded the following video about my views of Jesus Christ in December 2014. In this video you will learn how I perceive Jesus, from my personal experiences with Him. I also give some of my journal entries from 2012 to 2013 in a sequential order so that you can see how our relationship developed. Just click on the video link below and view this presentation. Enjoy!

Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous material that has been used as a building material since the 1950s due to its insulating properties, fire protection properties and protection against corrosion.
When materials that contain asbestos are disturbed or damaged, fibres are released into the air. When these fibres are inhaled they can cause serious diseases such as lung disease, asbestosis and mesothelioma.
These diseases will not affect you immediately; they often take a long time to develop, but once diagnosed, it is often too late to do anything. This is why it is important that you protect yourself and others now.
Anyone who is responsible for maintenance and repairs in non-domestic buildings has a legal 'duty to manage' any asbestos in that building.
Before you consider carrying out any building maintenance, repairs or building works at your premises you must undertake a survey to identify the presence of any asbestos and undertake a risk assessment of the likelihood of anyone being exposed to fibres from the materials identified.
You will then have to plan implement how the risks from these materials will be managed. There is help and advice on the HSE website.

Beverage gas is used for drinks such as beer and soft drinks. This tends to be carbon dioxide and nitrogen or mix of these gases.
These canisters are highly pressurised and must be stored, handled, maintained and used properly. You must ensure you only ever purchase beverage dispense gas products from reputable gas suppliers.
Canisters must be stored in ventilated areas, not near ignition or heat sources and be appropriately restrained with chains/straps (or chocks for horizontal cylinders) whether full or empty. The gas canister checklist should be used to check your cylinders are in a good condition.

Bouncy castles, inflatable slides and other inflatables can be great fun but there have been serious incidents where they have collapsed or blown away.
Incidents were due to the poor quality of construction, maintenance and operation of the inflatable play equipment.
The most serious accidents were due to the lack of supervision of the inflatable play equipment when it was in use and the equipment not being properly secured.
Health and safety law applies to the supply, hire and use of inflatables for commercial purposes.
Areas to consider are:
For further information please visit:
We have produced an Inflatable Equipment Checklist to help businesses who use or supply inflatable equipment to comply with the law.
For information and how to register or to access the cooling tower register, please visit our cooling tower notification page.
You are required by law to ensure that electrical installations and appliances are maintained in a safe condition.
To achieve this a programme of preventative maintenance should be set up to identify and remedy defects before they can cause danger.
Visual checks should be undertaken regularly and any defects promptly rectified. In addition the electrical installation and appliances should be checked at intervals recommended by a competent electrician.
The fixed installation should be inspected and tested in accordance with the current Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) Wiring Regulations. Earthed portable appliances used on the premises should be tested. The date of the test, description of the appliance, electrician's comments and next test date should be recorded.

Working on roofs can be dangerous and falls from roofs can cause death and serious injuries.
Falls from roofs can be caused by gaps and holes in roof, falling through roof lights, standing on fragile roof material (materials such as corroded metal sheets, non-reinforced fibre cement sheets, roof slates/tiles, and glass) and from falling off the edge of a roof.
The law says you must organise and plan all roof work so it is carried out safely.
If an inspector encounters failure to control risk, work will be prohibited and prosecution may follow.
Before work is carried out, be it general repairs, cleaning, inspection or maintenance, you must organise and plan all roof work so that it can be carried out safely. A roof risk assessment must be undertaken considering personal protective equipment, edge protection, weather conditions, the condition of the roof and the removal of any materials.
In addition to a risk assessment adequate training, supervision and information must be provided to any persons working on roofs.
For further information visit:
If you have gas in a business you are required by law to ensure that appliances and/or fittings are installed and maintained by a competent person.
They must be regularly (usually annually) inspected and checked so that you can demonstrate they are being maintained in a safe condition for continued use.
A competent person is someone who is registered with the Gas Safe Register and is able service the type of appliances you have in a commercial setting.
If you smell gas, call the free National Grid Gas Emergency Helpline on 0800 111 999.

Legionella is a bacteria which is found within natural water systems such as ponds and rivers. In these sources the bacteria rarely causes problems.
When the bacteria grows in purpose built water systems, such as commercial and domestic hot and cold water supplies, spa pools, cooling towers and evaporative condensers, the water is kept at a temperature which could encourage growth of the bacteria. When the water is dispersed there is potential it could be inhaled and result in illnesses such as Legionnaires disease, which is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia.
Businesses must carry out a risk assessment to identify any potential sources of legionella and ensure that sufficient control measures are put into place to control the risk.
If you have any cooling towers or evaporative condensers you have a legal duty to notify the Licensing Team, please visit the Public Health – cooling tower notification page for further information.

Silica is a natural substance found in varying amounts in most rocks, sand and clay.
Silica is also a major constituent of construction materials such as bricks, tiles, concrete and mortar.
When these construction materials containing silica are altered by either cutting, drilling, grinding and/or polishing the dust produced is fine enough to be inhaled deep into the lungs. This respirable silica dust can cause lung disease and lung cancer.
Employers are required to comply with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (as amended) and need to carry out a risk assessment, consider alternative materials with a lower silica content, exposure limits and personal protective equipment.

Prevention Initiatives and Programs
Prevention Initiatives and Programs
The mission of Prevention Initiatives and Programming at the University of Chicago is to promote healthy gender relations through dialogue and education, and to work towards the elimination of sexual and relationship violence. The scope of issues these prevention initiatives and programming address is quite broad, ranging from healthy relationships (including communication and sexual decision-making), bystander intervention, and the prevention and awareness of sexual assault, stalking, and relationship violence.
Prevention Initiatives and Programming provides the campus community with a wide range of informative and helpful programming aimed at combatting sexual and relationship violence. To this end, the Office disseminates information about policies and resources, hosts interactive, educational workshops and activities, and collaborates with like-missioned student groups. The Office trains students from all degree programs and divisions with the skills they need to become effective peer educators through the Resources for Sexual Violence Prevention (RSVP) Programming Center.

text: tsellati Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I am looking at this weave pattern and it looks like standard WWII USMC HBT weave, however it clearly is camo patterned. According to Grunt Gear all USMC camo patterned uniforms were manufactured using the Army HBT weave fabric. Did this only hold true for the P1942 camouflage clothing and not the P1944? The book also states that "There is no Marine Corps camouflage herringbone twill except some examples made postwar most likely for the movie industry? Is this still the current state of understanding on this matter? Thanks for the education. Tim Link to post Share on other sites

The Best Starter Weapons in Warframe
There are a handful of starter weapons in Warframe. More than you might think, actually. When you play the opening tutorial, escaping from the clutches of Captain Vor and getting to your ship, you get a basic choice of weaponry, but there are also options in the Market once you've completed the tutorial.
The first weapons you pick up are a single Primary weapon, Secondary weapon and melee weapon. These are your starter weapons, and you'll be using them for a while, at the very least until they are level 30.
Luckily, melee weapons it doesn't really matter too much what you pick, it's more what you prefer. The MK1-Bo is a slow but long-ranged staff with a nice thwacking sound as you hit people. It has a slow attack speed, but if you pick Volt as your starter Warframe, that's not an issue as his Speed ability increases attack speed. The Skana is a basic sword, and is your best choice if you pick Excalibur as your starter Warframe, as you get extra 10% attack speed and damage with all sword weapons as your passive. If you picked Mag, feel free to pick which one looks nicest, but the MK1-Bo might be ideal due to its longer range. While the MK1-Bo does slightly more damage, some of this is offset by the slower attack speed, and is mostly countered by Excalibur's sword-damage-increasing passive.
For secondaries, I'll be honest, both the MK1-Kunai and the Lato are not great weapons. The MK1-Kunai are weak, silent, projectile-based throwing kunai thingies, which are ideal as a stealthy side weapon. The MK1-Kunai is a better choice if you picked the MK1-Braton, so you have a stealthy option if needed, and it also comes with two V polarities, meaning mods like Hornet Strike, the base damage mod for secondaries, costs far less slots. The Lato on the other hand is an incredibly boring hitscan pistol that looks and feels mediocre. The Lato has no polarities, but can be used to make the slightly stronger Bolto secondary weapon.
I'd recommend taking the MK1-Kunai since it does more damage than the Lato and has more modding options.
When it comes to primaries, it's a funny choice. You have to choose between some sort of automatic rifle, the MK1-Braton, and a bow, the MK1-Paris. Both weapons have two superior versions, the normal Braton and Paris, and the Braton Prime and Paris Prime. The MK1-Braton is an automatic hitscan weapon, a good, well-balanced weapon, but also rather loud, while the MK1-Paris is a silent but deadly bow.
Both weapons are perfectly good, but as you face more and more enemies, you'll begin to struggle with the MK1-Paris. It does excel in Spy missions and Exterminate missions where you can take enemies out one at a time (and perhaps get a nice stealth bonus too). The MK1-Braton at least has enough rounds to take a breather. Early on, ammo may be an issue, but rifle ammo seems to be more common than sniper ammo, which is what the MK1-Paris uses.
It is worth keeping in mind, no matter what weapon you pick, all MK1 weapons are available in the marketplace for a set credit value (generally 15,000 credits).
There are also a handful of other weapons available in the market. The MK1-Strun is a weaker version of the Strun shotgun, available for 15,000 credits and the MK1-Furax is a fist-based punching weapon, also available for 15,000 credits. Avoid the MK1-Furis, as it is a weaker version of the Furis, the blueprint of which is available as a reward for completing the Venus junction.
Finally, the Lex, costing 50,000 credits, is a powerful pistol, a worthy replacement of both the MK1-Kunai and the Lato. It's a good investment once you've leveled up your starting pistol.
Most other weapons require various ingredients. You can buy their blueprints in the Market in your ship, or in Dojos if you are a member of a clan. New weapons can be built in the Foundry in your ship. The earliest weapon you can build is the Furis, which is essentially an upgrade to the Lato, and definitely worth using in early levels, but you can also obtain the blueprints for the normal (and stronger) Braton, Paris, Kunai, Bo, Strun and Furax in the Market.
At the end of the day, take what you feel you'll prefer, and don't worry too much if you aren't a fan of your chosen weapons. You'll get better weapons in no time at all!
Good luck out there, Tenno!

The San Pedro Junior Sailing Club continues to showcase its passion for sailing and its expertise at winning after making its mark during Belize CityÂs BirdÂs Isle and National Championship Regatta. Â Sailing is a fantastic pastime for anyone retiring in Belize, but the kids donÂt want to miss out either, and are proving they are more than capable of winning medals.
On January 4th and 5th, the BirdÂs Isle Regatta took place. Â Officially, it was the last regatta of 2013 as it was postponed from December due to poor weather conditions. Â The two-day event attracted many sailors, all of whom were competing in the Optimist class. Â Only individuals whoÂd received top ranking in the yearÂs previous five regattas were qualified to join the Bird Isle event, and luckily for San Pedro, Jerdon Anderson was there to represent his town once again. Â In addition, the outcome of the Bird Isle regatta is vitally important to the selection process for who qualifies for the July 2014 Optimist North American Championships to be held in Mexico.
Members of San PedroÂs sailing club really excelled themselves during the regatta, and out of the seven sailors competing, six individuals came within the top ten out of 32 participants.  There were five races overall, with those who scored the least number of points, working their way up to the top of the leader board.  Jerdon Anderson won first place in the end, with the Sea Scouts Trent Hardwick snatching second place away from San PedroÂs Kevin Vasquez, who came in third instead.
The remaining four San Pedro sailors placing in the top ten were Davin Puc in 4th, Christian Trejo in 5th and Blanca Vasquez and Faith Noel who came in 6th and 9th places respectively. Â There was also additional recognition for the first finishers of the regatta, with Jerdon Anderson being rewarded as the first male to cross the finish line, whileBlanca Vasquez was championed for being the first female finisher.
Overall, the entire regatta was a huge success, despite it having been delayed from the previous month.  The San Pedro Junior Sailing Club showed, once again, how skilled its members are in sailing, coming away with many prizes. For those looking to BelizeÂs youth for inspiration, San PedroÂs youngsters certainly provide encouragement.

Have you ever had that sinking feeling develop in your stomach as you realize you are running out of time on a multiple choice exam? You check the clock to find that there are 15 minutes to go but you still have 30 questions left! You know that you can't read and intelligently answer each question in that time span, so… like any test-taker would, you skim through them quickly and take your best guess at each one. That's about your only option if this happens to you on the bar exam, BUT – there is a better way!
The key to making sure you have enough time on the Multi-State Bar Exam (MBE) is to pace yourself and watch the clock very closely every half hour. One of the best pieces of information I got from a bar prep blog post was from Dustin Saiidi of I Passed My Bar Exam where he wrote about using these 5 time intervals.
When writing the 3-hour MBE Session:
At 30 minutes, you should be on question #18
At 1 hour, you should be on #35 (you will again complete 18 questions in this interval)
At 1 ½ hours, #53 (complete 18)
At 2 hours, #70 (complete 17)
At 2 ½ hours, #88 (complete 18)
At 3 hours – finished at #100 (complete 12)
Just memorize these five numbers: 18, 35, 53, 70, 88
As soon as the proctor says "start," the first thing you do is jot down on the first page of your book, a chart with these 5 question numbers corresponding to the time on the clock that you should reach for each interval. For example, if your start time is 9:00 am, your chart will read:
18 – 9:30 am
35 – 10:00 am
53 – 10:30 am
70 – 11:00 am
88 – 11:30 am
For the afternoon session, add a "1" in front of each question number so that your chart becomes questions 118, 135, 153, 170, 188 with the afternoon time intervals from the clock.
As you are answering the questions, check yourself at each ½ hour to see what question number you are on. If you are ahead, great – that means you will have some time to review at the end or maybe you want to take the next segment a bit slower to more carefully read the question for better comprehension, and if you are behind, take the next interval to work faster.
Practice doing this now, before exam day
You will get a feel for the pace you need to be at in order to not run out of time. The beauty of this formula is that for the required 100 questions in 3 hours, these time intervals force you to work just a tiny bit faster than if you had broken up the slots into 16 and 17 question segments (divide 100 by 6 and you get 16.6 questions for each half hour). You will notice that by the last segment which is from 2 ½ – 3 hours, you are only doing 12 questions. This is a built-in cushion to give you the edge just in case some segments take you a bit longer or to give you 5-10 minutes for a review.
Feel confident going into the MBE with your attack plan
If you are like me, you need every minute on this test, but if you are like some lucky folks who can write the MBE with tons of time to spare, then you don't need this method at all! A law student I know who sat for the last exam told me that on MBE day he was finished and back at the hotel gym working out by the time the other students were getting out. He admitted that either he is a genius or a total idiot! I sure hope for his sake that it's the genius.
Try this out and let us know how it works for you, or, if you have some other timing methods that you have used successfully, we would love to hear about them.

Transforming Education with New Media
Participatory Pedagogy, Interactive Learning, and Web 2.0
Peter DePietro
4. Interactive Learning
The use of technology in education creates an interactive exchange of information—from teachers to students, and from students to teachers—that reinvents the way we educators teach. The conventional stand and present model of teaching gives way to a stand, present, and interact one. In the former model, students receive information, digest it, and react to it. This is a process of hearing lecture material on a particular topic, taking notes as study material, and offering verbal comment in class as part of a discussion or critique. This is conventional class participation. In the latter model, students receive information, digest it, react to it, and interact with it. This process engages students significantly more. Students still may react verbally, such as in a standard question-and-answer scenario. However, with this new model, students engage with electronic devices as well. Class participation happens via mobile devices, tablet computers, smartphones, and the like—in addition to and sometimes instead of verbal offerings. This is the fundamental principle of interactive learning.
To further differentiate the two approaches, let us define verbal involvement as reaction, and participation via devices as interaction. In a single class, reaction and interaction may occur simultaneously or separately, but in order for students to have a successful instructional experience in which they will learn new material using new media devices, both reaction and interaction should be present. It seems quite basic, but, in short, students should both talk and use...

Halos and Cubbies Talking Trades....
The first rumor says the Cubs and Angels have been discussing a trade that would send Kosuke Fukudome, Tom Gorzelanny, and a minor leaguer to the Angels for Scott Kazmir and Reggie Willits. The trade seems logical for both the Angels and Cubs but lets look at it from a Cubs perspective. The Cubs would receive a former top of the rotation pitcher in the AL that has seen his numbers go through peeks and valleys through his career with both the Angels and Rays. He would provide the Cubs with a solid #5 pitcher and is a lefty which makes Tom Gorzelanny going to the Angels kind of a wash. Kazmir saw his best year in 2007 when he pitched 206 innings with 239 SO and a 3.49 ERA in the AL East. Recently his inning has decreased while his ERA has climbed but a change to the weaker NL could boost his numbers some.
The Cubs also get an switch hitting speedy outfielder who would likely battle for the outfield spot on the 25 man roster. Willits had his best season in 2007 as well hitting .293 with a .391 OBP and 27 SB.
The Cubs would be creating an everyday opportunity for Tyler Colvin in RF by trading away Fukudome and Gorzelanny leaving creates the 5th spot in the rotation open for Kazmir.
The Angels have been rumored to be shopping Kazmir because of the amount he is owed. The Angels remove the money he is owed but take on a similar amount for one year with Fukudome. But the Angels also get Gorzelanny who has put up close or better numbers than Kazmir has in the past couple years and Gorzelanny will only cost 2 million in arbitration this year. Not to mention he is still under team control. They also get a minor leaguer but not a prospect in the deal.
The money here is basically a wash and I can see this trade being a win-win for both clubs!
The 2nd rumor also involves the Cubs and Angels but a lot more players. Here is what it looks like-
Cubs receive- Scott Kazmir, Kevin Jepsen, Alberto Callaspo, and a PTBNL
Angels acquire- Alfonso Soriano, Tom Gorzelanny, Jeff Samardzija, Jeff Baker, and Marquez Smith.
Cubs- We already broke down what Kazmir can give the Cubs and what he brings. Kevin Jepsen provides a veteran arm to the pen with good numbers. Last season in 68 games he went 2-4 with a 3.97 ERA and 60 SO. Alberto Callaspo would provide the Cubs with a bat from both sides of the plate that can play multiple infield positions at an affordable price (under team control for 3 years). The Cubs also get the great PTBNL.
Angels- The Angels get the impact bat they have been searching for this entire off-season. They have lost out on Adrian Beltre, Jayson Werth, and Carl Crawford. The Angels were offering 5+ years for those players paying them 15+ million a year. Soriano is owed 4 years 72 million but the Cubs would pay about half that contract to get this deal done according to this source so the Angels would only be on the hook for about 4 years 36 million which is a far cry from what they would pay Werth, Crawford, or Beltre. Lets not forget they tried to sign Soriano before he eventually signed with the Cubs. Soriano would provide the Angels with a right-handed bat for the outfield and DH. The Angels also get Gorzelanny which we discussed above. They also get Jeff Samardzija (if he approved the trade) he would provide a young fireball to their pen. Jeff Baker brings a right-handed bench bat who can play all over the infielder and is a better fielder than Callaspo. The Angels also finally get a legitimate young third baseman that put up great numbers in AAA last season. He would likely start at 3rd for the Halos this coming season because he provides more power and a better glove than any third baseman on their 25 man roster.
In this deal the Angels would be taking on 21 million for this upcoming season while taking on at least 9 million for the following 3 years (Soriano's contract) for 5 players. The Cubs would be removing 7 million (minus the contracts they take on) this season and also removing 9 million each year for three years (Soriano's contract). The Angels get their power hitter they are looking forward along with affordable replacements for Callaspo, Jepsen, and Kazmir. The Cubs get salary relief, a really good lefty as their 5th starter, a solid switch hitting infielder with speed for their bench, and veteran arm for their pen.
One big reason why I think this is legit rumor is look at the Angels lineup-
1. Bourjos
2. Kendrick
3. Morales
4. Hunter
5. Soriano
6. Abreu
7. M. Smith
8. Aybar
9. Mathis/Napoli
Balanced, Power, and Speed!
I don't know if anything will come of these rumors but if you are an Angels or Cubs fan you should hope one of them comes true!
What do you; the readers think?
Until Next Time….

I wish either trade could happen, but sadly don't see either one. The Angels want Aramis...not Fuku or Soriano. Soriano is immovable with his contract, even with us eating a good portion. Kazmir has lost velocity the last couple yrs. to the point he's very hittable and his whip is atrocious. No way I trade Aramis for him, but think they want a better stick than Fuku even for Kazmir.
i think both deals are great for both teams! If you had to give odds of this happening? what kind of odds would you give? thanks and keep up the great work!
I would personally shake Hendry's hand and take back all I have said about him if he could make the second rumor come true.
I don't think I'd like either of these deals, and here's why...
If Kazmir and Gorzelanny are a wash, (which is only true if Kazmir is actually healthy), then they cancel each other out. So what we are left with is:
1) Fukudome + minor leaguer for Willits. Why would we trade a starter with .370 OBP for a (barely) replacement level bench player with zero power? What good is a switch-hitter if they do it poorly? Is it because we want 'speed'? I thought that's what Fernando Perez was for. The only way this deal makes sense is if it frees up dollars to land either Rauch or Qualls.
2) The 2nd deal is even worse. Baker for Callaspo is already a downgrade, defensively as you mentioned, but also offensively. That leaves Soriano+Samardija+M.Smith for Jepsen+PTBNL. By trading away a quality 3B in order to upgrade a reliever, we are putting all our eggs in the Vitters basket. Hopefully Vitters pans out, but he hasn't proven that to us yet. If you wanna make that bet, then fine, but we're giving up Soriano for a PTBNL? Really? I understand Cubs fans don't like "The Contract" or that he isn't the leadoff solution we were promised, however even taking into account his defense the fact is he's still one of the league's top LF's. It just doesn't make sense to subtract out his offensive contributions in order to make room for Fukudome's.
I'm so tired of Sorey.
Make it happen Spendry!
- Nick I Cub Fan said...
I wouldn't give up Fukudome or Gorzelanny for any of the players mentioned.
I also don't think cubs are looking
for any starting pitchers. Just relivers. They may trade some starters away. I think the starting rotation is already set no matter what anyone is saying. Zambrano, Dempster, Garza, Cashner, and Gorzelanny. Samardzija will be in the pen.
I really hope this rumor is true! I think Kazmir isn't finished, as many people think, I expect him to bounce back and be a great pitcher. If this doesn't happen, it wouldn't hurt the Cubs.
I would love the second scenario you posted, getting rid of Soriano, finally! It would be awesome.
Just to let you know, I think you did wrong the math about the amount of money saved by the Cubs in this deal.
The problem with this rumor is Samardzija will veto it. For some reason this kid denies all trades and thinks he has a chance to make this club. I dont mind the guy but there is no room for him and he needs to move on. It's time to cut the loss and he wont have it. It's irritating to say the least. But to get rid of Soriano would be a god sent.

We are upgrading the forum software to a new version. This should happen the weekend of May 16, if all goes according to plan. So, about three weeks from now. I'll alert you of the precise dates when it happens. The forum will be down for a day or two during the migration.
There will be some changes as a result, and we'll try to make them as transparent/painless as possible. All developer accounts on the forum and all content will migrate. There should be no loss of signal, no need to register, no change of passwords.
Here are the most significant changes.
URL Change
There will be a URL change. Existing bookmarks should redirect automatically to a reasonable place, but may not be perfect (e.g. if you have a bookmark into a particular forum, you may end up on the DevGurus home page instead. Once you get to the DevGurus location you want, update your bookmark to point to the new URL.
We will be part of community.amd.com, a new and comprehensive AMD community for consumers, partners, and developers. There isn't much at that URL right now. DevGurus will be a sub-community within this space. But very little changes within DevGurus.
Moderation mostly goes away
New users of the developer forum will only be able to post in a single forum named "Newcomers Start Here." This forum will be moderated to protect you from spam. Real developers will be added to a "trusted" list (in effect, whitelisted). Trusted developers will be able to post in any of our developer forums without moderation. My goal is to have everyone already on the forum whitelisted, but I might miss someone. After the migration, if you discover you can't post, please put your post in the Newcomers Start Here forum. We'll add you to the trusted list. And accept my apologies for missing you ahead of time.
Forum Hierarchy
Two small changes.
1: The old About the Forum forum will be renamed DevGurus and will be the top level forum. All "real" forums will be subforums to DevGurus. DevGurus is where we will have introductory material, help information, and so on. It makes sense to have that at the top.
2: Three library forums will be consolidated into one: clMath, Bolt, and ACML. The new one will be "AMD Compute Libraries." No content will be lost.
Better Experience
Please ask any questions about how this will work, and provide suggestions for improvement ahead of time in this discussion. Once we settle into our new home, I want to start expanding the functionality of the community as a whole, add new content types and technical areas, and encourage participation. Your ideas are always most welcome.

"Given two works of artistic majesty, otherwise weighted equally, we will give greater acclaim to whoever did it first. It doesn't matter what you create. It matters what you create before anyone else. So it's not the beauty itself we admire. It's not the force of intellect. It's not invention, aesthetics, or capacity itself. The greatest talent that we think a man can have? Seems to me that it must be nothing more than 'novelty'."- Brandon Sanderson, The Way Of Kings
Think for a moment about your best friend. If you don't have one humor me and imagine them. Fundamentally this person helps you see the world more wholly, and that's why you love each other. This is someone who is not you, yet is. You are not them, but you are. A different body, different thoughts, a different heart, yet you take in the world together. A best friend is someone who takes you back to before you became you- when you felt connected to everything because you are. You get a small piece of that lost world back. No, it's even better because you can see more than you ever could before.
Existence can seem like a strange thing. You're the sum of all your parts: your thoughts, your body, your relationships. None of these are you in themselves, but you can focus on things to the exclusion of others. In fact, you have to. If you didn't focus on one part at a time, you wouldn't be you anymore. All your thoughts and dreams are just memories of sensations. All the atoms in the world are connected since the beginning of time, which in itself is an oxymoronic statement. You are just perception. You are an eye. The things you see become reality, and that world is shaped by where you focus your attention- where you look. The thoughts in your head, the body that moves, the heart that connects, are all made by a thing we decided to call you despite the fact that you almost never can see it all.
But your friend does. And you see them. Neither sees all at once, but together you're a bit more whole. And the world opens up.
Masculinity & Sexuality in the ToGODshiverse
For the philosopher Hegel the idea of "recognition" was central to how a person came to understand themselves, who "they" were exactly when contrasted with the "other"(1). This dialectical understanding of how ideas like the "self" formed went on to inspire a great many other philosophers, most famously Karl Marx who applied a dialectical understanding to the material world in order to better understand history(2). "Dialectical Materialism" basically functioned on the scientific law that every action has an equal and opposite reaction in the material realm. We'll definitely be returning to Marx & Hegal again in this series where I analyze ToGODshi's philosophy but suffice to say these thinkers or at least this method of thinking, is necessary in order to understand how ToGODshi approaches the ideas of gender and sexuality in these stories of friendship effort and victory.
None of Togashi's works are subtle about or censor references to sex. While you'll rarely find explicit fan-service for its own sake that doesn't you won't get jokes about not wanting to die a virgin (and "finding what they were looking for"), whole arcs in Level E and Hunter x Hunter about the potential end of the world caused by inter-species mating, and a general laissez-faire attitude whenever the topic is brought up, especially in Hunter x Hunter with things like "Aiai-The City of Love", Bisky looking at Hisoka's member, or just how woman tend to approach Gon in general. Of course, Hisoka is often called a pedophile clone by many but he's really more "battle-sexual" which I'm almost certain is probably a real thing with a scientific name and everything. There are plenty more steamy examples if one is ever inclined to look into it but needless to it's not a topic Togashi shies away from out of some sense of modesty.
When it comes to how masculinity is portrayed in his works it's fair to say there is a general thread of characters being pushed away from what people frame as "Toxic Masculinity", most notably in the case of Yusuke in Yu Yu Hakusho. Cherryboywriter wrote a piece that I feel is very in line with ToGODshi's approach to the subject(3) but one could just as easily look at the Dark Tournament arc and call it a day. The parallels between Yusuke and Toguro, the way in which Yusuke has to unlock his true powers, his relationship with Keiko throughout the series, they all speak for themselves in my opinion. And while Hunter x Hunter hasn't touched on it in exactly the same way, I imagine it may in the future with a certain character.
Some in the past have taken issue with how the Gay and Trans characters in Yu Yu Hakusho were portrayed, such as Youtuber Rantasmo(4). Now to be fair to rantasmo he admits to having not seen the entirety of either series due to time constraints. At first glance, it may appear clear cut that the MC beat up a trans person before telling them to "be a man all the way not halfway" was the wrong move, and that the author is just being stereotypical making the 1 gay guy a villain. But upon closer inspection, I don't believe these critiques hold much water. While Miyuki, the trans character, is berated by Yusuke as cowardly it is important to remember that Yusuke is constantly projecting his negative qualities on to his enemies, and we are not supposed to identify him as the moral compass of the show, as with some other stories. Yes, there will be times when Yusuke says the "right" things from the authors perspective but that mostly comes later in the story aka after the Dark Tournament and Sensui arcs. The point of the story is for Yusuke to learn from the enemies he faces, be open about his emotions, and expand his perspective. By the end of the series, he's empathizing with demons desire to eat humans and resolving the political disputes of an entire realm. As Yu Yu Hakusho moved away from existentialism and into materialism, as I've spoken about before, the change was reflected in the MC. I believe endgame Yusuke would have very different words for Miyuki indeed, who need I remind you is still the villain in this situation.
Which brings me to my next point: there was just no way ToGODshi was going to put such characters in at the time and not have them be villains. It's not an ideal world where he could have added any characters he wanted in any role and expect to have a successful series. That simply was not the political reality. But here's where ToGODshi is really cool in my opinion in that he put those type of characters on the side of the villains who were morally correct. Now, in theory, no one knows what's going on in Togashi's head and he could secretly be a demonic alien who is the incarnation of evil, after all, why else would he create the greatest series ever just to go on constant hiatuses? But realistically it is likely the case that Togashi was and is progressive even by FUTURE standards and will always be. So why was Itsuki portrayed as he was in Yu Yu Hakusho? Well, the villain's are correct in Chapter Black (at the VERY least by ToGODshi's standards) so if anything it was a huge honor to make the first openly homosexual man in any of his works (as far as we in the west know Cough Cough translators Cough get on that Cough.) a villain.
Nanika & How None of This Really Matters
ToGODshi once confirmed that he attempted to make a sports manga with homosexual characters & cross-dressing and was rejected(5). Considering he now virtually has a "do whatever the fuck you want" card which allows him to literally make the company he works for Mafia in his manga, I think it's safe to say we will be seeing more stuff like this in his work in the future. ToGODshi has always had androgynous characters in his works like Kurama and Kurapika, and he's not afraid to throw some cross-dressing in there from time to time. Despite how I may end up portraying it here I don't think he's the type to get several Ph.D.'s on gender studies just to write a couple of characters, so one must wonder what is the underlying philosophy guiding such inclusions. It seems cheap to say something cliche like "He writes 'people' first and foremost and thus any politics that arises from the text is just a result of that."
When it comes to this topic at least I don't seek to debate anyone about whether or not this is the definitive reading of his text. This is just my interpretation and if you have a completely different take due to having more knowledge on this subject more power to you. That all said in addition to Nanika representing Trans Essense in the metaphorical sense, as explained excellently by Ember Reviews(6), I believe Nanika's introduction is supposed to help signify what the entirety of the election arc is about and consequently ToGODshi's philosophy of what identity is: Recognition. The story is framed through an election because, as stated in Game of Thrones, power resides where people believe it resides. It makes perfect sense that the main villain of the arc is someone who is a master and controlling image and pleasing systems. Both sadist and masochist Pariston is presented as the opposite of what we should strive for. It's only through authenticity that we can truly connect to each other, and to be truly authentic requires realizing that- in the Buddhist sense- you do not exist. You are not a weapon, a political pawn, a tool, or any label you or others can give you. The eightfold path that will free beings from suffering requires the quelling of desires from false selves. Therefore we should love each other as friends and family, not as products or means toward an end. Thinks like gender identity can be seen as distractions to be ignored.
Perhaps it's not my place to say such a thing as "this is all to show how pointless identity is and why you should all become Buddhist". After all the point of Hunter x Hunter is as much a tale about chasing after what you want as it is a cautionary tale about over ambition. While such messages come in slight contradiction, that is life as we know it right now. There's a difference between demonstrating that even the most idealized simply lifestyles come with complexities that you're just going to have to work through on an individual case by case basis and completely contradicting what was said before. Clearly, I think HxH falls into the former and as such the right of the viewer to come away with their own reading will be respected by me. I know there are many who value representation and I hope that, even in a small way, I've been of use to you. To put it simply at the core of ToGODshi's philosophy I believe there to be a creed of "Will" being more important than the shape of the eye. So grab a friend and see what you can find.

Dodgers vs Giants – 6/7/19 MLB Pick, Odds, and Predictions
Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants MLB Baseball Friday, June 7, 2019 (10:15pm et) Current Odds: Dodgers -230 Total Runs 7.5
After all these years, one thing has not changed for the Los Angeles Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw is exactly the pitcher they want on the mound after a defeat.
The Dodgers have won all nine games Kershaw has started this season and have won 17 consecutive Kershaw starts going back to last season. Los Angeles will try for No. 18 on Friday in the opener of a three-game series at San Francisco.
The Dodgers are looking to rebound from a 3-2 defeat Wednesday at Arizona that ended their seven-game winning streak. Los Angeles has still won 11 of its past 13 games.
He did not get the win in his most recent outing, but it was still vintage Kershaw as the three-time Cy Young Award winner gave up one run on six hits over seven innings against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Kershaw (5-0, 3.20 ERA) struck out six and did not walk a batter for the first time since an April 27 start against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
"I think this, from recent memory, was the best I've seen Clayton throw," manager Dave Roberts said after the Dodgers earned a 4-3 victory June 1 over the Phillies when rookie Will Smith hit a game-ending home run.
Smith is no longer with the Dodgers. His six-game apprenticeship came to an end when Austin Barnes was activated from the disabled list this week and was sent back to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
There is nobody Kershaw is more familiar with than the Giants. He has 45 career appearances (44 starts) against San Francisco, his most against any team, and has been impressive against the club's main rival, going 22-10 with a 1.70 ERA. His 0.851 WHIP against the Giants is his best against any National League opponent.
The Giants will counter Kershaw with a left-hander of their own in Drew Pomeranz (1-6, 8.08), who is getting another chance to get his season on track. The Giants are just 4-6 in Pomeranz starts this season and won just once in his four May starts as he delivered a whopping 19.16 ERA during the month.

Pomeranz has not gone five innings in any of his past five outings and his last start was one to forget. On May 31, Pomeranz gave up eight earned runs over 1 1/3 innings against the Baltimore Orioles.
It will be a tall task for Pomeranz to pitch opposite Kershaw and against an intimidating Dodgers lineup, but the Giants hope he has an advantage against the predominately left-handed swinging Los Angeles offense.
"I know you look at Pom's outing (on May 31), but we made that call before," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said after the call was made to push back Pomeranz's next start and go with rookie Shaun Anderson on Thursday. "We were going to … give Pom a little more time."
Pomeranz is just 1-5 against the Dodgers, but he does have a 3.80 ERA against them in 10 outings (eight starts). He has made two starts against the Dodgers this season, giving up a combined five earned runs over nine innings, with the Giants winning an April 1 game and losing an April 30 contest at San Francisco.
The Giants will be without catcher Buster Posey, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right hamstring strain. Right-hander Trevor Gott was activated from the IL to take Posey's place on the roster.

Advantages of Exhaust Gas Turbocharging
Compared with a naturally aspirated engine of identical power output, the fuel consumption of a turbocharger engine is lower, as some of the normally wasted exhaust energy contributes to the engine's efficiency. Due to the lower volumetric displacement of the turbo engine, frictional and thermal losses are less.
The power-to-weight ratio, i.e. horsepower per pound, of the exhaust gas turbocharged engine is much better than that of the naturally aspirated engine.
The turbocharged engine's installation space requirement is smaller than that of a naturally aspirated engine with the same power output.
A turbocharged engine's torque characteristic can be improved. Due to a very high torque increase at low engine speeds, close to full power output is maintained well below rated engine speed. Therefore, climbing a hill requires fewer gear changes and speed loss is lower.
The high-altitude performance of a turbocharged engine is significantly better. Because of the lower air pressure at high altitudes, the power loss of a naturally aspirated engine is considerable. In contrast, the performance of the turbine improves at altitude as a result of the greater pressure difference between the virtually constant pressure upstream of the turbine and the lower ambient pressure at outlet. The lower air density at the compressor inlet is largely equalized. Hence, the engine has barely any power loss.
Because of reduced overall size, the sound-radiating outer surface of a turbocharged engine is smaller, and is therefore less noisy than a naturally aspirated engine with identical output. The turbocharger itself acts as an additional silencer.

Carrs Solicitors win Occupational Asthma compensation claim
Carrs Solicitors have recently won a claim for compensation for Baker's asthma on behalf of a client who worked at the in store bakery of a large supermarket.
The employers had failed to provide suitable personal protective equipment and had failed to install effective extraction equipment required in the dusty atmosphere where the client was required to work.
Specialist medical opinion disclosed that the client had an intolerance of some of the chemical additives used in the baking process and this had a damaging effect on the client's health.
On service of the relevant medical evidence, we were able to secure a negotiated settlement on an amicable basis with the Defendant's Solicitors.
