How Does eBay Make Money?
The company has become one of the most popular online auction sites. Its marketplace is a place where consumers can buy and sell items. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar stores, eBay has no brick-and-mortar stores. This makes it possible for eBay to charge a fee for certain services. For example, if you want to sell books, you can pay 50 cents extra for a large photo. You can pay thirty cents for more descriptive information if you want to sell video games. There are fees for different types of listings and different lengths of time.
eBay makes money through commissions from its sellers. These commissions come from people who purchase and sell items on the site. These fees are known as "Final Value Commissions," They range from 3.5% to 10%, depending on the product. This is eBay's most important revenue source because it keeps the site running smoothly. But how does eBay make money? It's pretty simple. The company has several ways to make money from its business.
The most popular way for eBay to make money is by charging sellers a commission. The commission varies depending on the product, but it is typically around five percent or more of the final sale price. It's also possible to sell products for a flat fee and receive a percentage of the sale. If you list your items on eBay more than 250 times a month, you'll pay an insertion fee of $0.35 per listing. However, if you list more than three hundred items, you'll be charged up to three hundred dollars per listing.
Besides selling products through its marketplace, eBay also receives a commission from sellers. The commission is called Final Value Commission, and it ranges from three to ten percent depending on the product. This amount is small, but it adds up over time. Despite its low costs, eBay is a major revenue generator. A single sale can generate more than $88 billion, so it's no wonder that eBay has been so profitable since it launched.
Besides selling products, eBay also receives a commission from sellers. This is called the Final Value Commission. It's worth noting that the commission that eBay receives is crucial for its financial health. For instance, it pays its fees to sellers when buyers buy things on eBay. In addition to fees, it also pays its employees a percentage of the revenue that they generate. A typical transaction can take anywhere from one to five hundred dollars.
When it comes to making money on eBay, it's important to understand the difference between selling on the marketplace and buying things. Most of the revenue eBay makes is from the sale of products. While buyers are charged the same amount as sellers, the commission keeps eBay going. The company's commissions cover its operations. However, it's not enough to sell things on eBay. The profit generated from sellers is a big part of its income.
The commission that eBay receives from sellers is called the Final Value Commission, and it is a vital part of the company's revenue. Its profits are made by charging sellers a percentage of their sales. The majority of its income comes from this commission. In other words, the money eBay earns from seller fees is from the sale of the advertising space placed on eBay. Its revenues are a result of these transactions.
Other than the fees, eBay also receives a commission from sellers. The commission is known as the Final Value Commission and can range between 3.5% and 10% of the sale value. This is crucial for eBay's financial health because it helps to make the site more appealing to buyers. In turn, eBay also makes money from sellers' fees to advertisers. The commissions that eBay receives from sellers help to fund its infrastructure.
A seller pays a commission to eBay for every listing that they make. This commission is called the Final Value Fee. The seller's fee to eBay is based on the total sales price of the product. The seller will get a commission of between 2% and 8% of the sale price for a product to sell. The fees depend on the category and the type of item. When buyers buy the item, they pay the seller the insertion fee.
Learn How Does eBay Make Money
You might be wondering how does eBay makes money. While many other eCommerce websites make money through subscriptions or advertising, the company's revenue comes primarily from transactions between buyers and sellers. The majority of its revenue is derived from advertising, accounting for nearly half of its total income. It also generates over $1 billion in classifieds revenue. The profits made by eBay are enormous, and the company is currently diversifying its business model to include more types of advertising.
To sell on eBay, you need to have a product that the company has approved. You can sell anything that eBay approves. The website will then charge you a fee for insertion. These fees will vary depending on the type of item you are selling and the country you are located in. Some items may be exempt from fees. If you have a small business, you can even sell your used electronics for free.
Besides advertising fees, eBay also receives a commission from sellers. This commission is called the Final Value Commission and is generally 3.5% to 10% of the total value of the transaction. This is crucial for eBay's financial health. Listed items are also subject to additional fees, but they are minimal compared to those charged by other companies. The company makes millions of dollars per year from selling used items on its site. A seller can earn up to $88 billion per month on eBay by generating more than 250 listings.
Regardless of how you decide to make money on eBay, you should consider the fees charged to you by the website. These fees are the largest source of eBay's revenue. They range between 3.5% and 10% of the total sales price of an item on eBay. These fees are crucial for the profitability of eBay. The company generates over $2 billion in sales per year, and the fees are a key part of its income model.
In addition to fees from sellers, eBay also receives commissions from the products they sell on the site. These commissions are called the Final Value Commission and are a vital source of revenue for eBay. In 2017, the gross value of goods sold on eBay in the U.S. increased by 21.1% from the previous year. With this growth in sales, eBay is one of the best online platforms to sell on. Aside from the huge amount of money you can make, it's also a great way to earn money.
The other ways eBay makes money are through its listing fees. For example, when a buyer clicks on a link to purchase an item on eBay, they will pay an extra fee to eBay. If the user purchases the item, eBay will get a percentage of the sale value. eBay has generated $88 billion in sales despite the fees. It is not surprising to see that eBay makes so much money from its services.
Besides the fees, the company also makes money through the commissions paid to the sellers. The seller pays eBay by paying a commission on the sale of their products. This commission is called the Final Value Commission and is usually 5% or 10% of the total sale value. This is a significant part of eBay's income and vital to the marketplace. There are many ways to make money on eBay. For example, you can choose to sell used furniture and earn an extra $1.30 every month.
Besides advertising fees, eBay also receives commissions from sellers on their products. These fees are referred to as the "Final Value Commission." The commissions can range from three to ten percent depending on the product. For every million dollars of sales on eBay, the company receives about $2 billion in revenue. However, this amount is much lower than Amazon's. The company also offers advertising services. In the third quarter of 2017, it made more than $2 billion in revenues.
Unlike Amazon, eBay does not charge buyers, but it does receive fees from sellers. This commission is called the "Final Value Commission" and can range from three percent to 10 percent. The commissions on eBay are essential to eBay's financial health. If you want to sell on eBay, you need to understand how the site makes money. It is vital to know how the website works. Its fee structure can be quite complicated.

Manaslu trekking is a fascinating course, the Manaslu, Known as "three peaks". It is a well- loved trek from Gorkha or Trisuli Bazar to the Burhi Gandali, passing through a huge precipitous valley to the contrasting world of Sama, crossing snow-covered Larkya La and descending to the Marsyangdi Khola, All supplies necessary for the trip (including food and kerosene) must be carried in and all rubbish must be portered out. As it is a long course, you must be in good physically and have extra days for rest during the trek. Sama, before you cross the pass, it is ideal for this; you can enjoy strolling about the glacial lake and Pugen Glacier there.
Trekking around Manaslu offers a unique opportunity to experience relatively "untouched" region of Nepal. Opened for trekking only since 1991, it provides spectacular beauty along the border of Nepal and China and is now a controlled trekking route which allows organized trekking groups special permits to venture round its spectacular circuit. Located in west-central Nepal, the 177-km trek around Manaslu provides fantastic mountain scenery, spanning altitudes from 375 m to 5300 m. A diverse range of ecosystems and ethnic cultures, and a trail that puts one physically closer to Tibet than any other trek in Nepal.
Normally for Manaslu trek a Nepalese Liaison Officer used to accompany each group to assure protection of both the fragile environment and cultures there but now the liaison officer is not necessary. Average hiking per day in Manaslu Base Camp trek 6-7 hrs.

La Quinta Columna on What Parts of the Body Are Most Affected by Covid Vaccines and Why This Is Happening
Dr. Sevillano on the most affected organs post-inoculation
by Orwellito, Orwell City
November 24, 2021
In a new round of questions addressed to Dr. Sevillano in La Quinta Columna, he was asked which organs are most affected post-inoculation and why.
Below, Orwell City brings his answer in English.
Video available at Rumble.
Ricardo Delgado: 'What would be the reason why the vaccine attacks different organs in different people?' Because it's a toxicant…
Dr. Sevillano: Well, very good question. That's a very good one. At the moment, this has two targets. One is the heart —you're seeing what's happening at the moment— and the head. What's happening is that as we're realizing, it seems to be that the heart is suffering more damage than the head and the cardiovascular.
That's to say, the product is going into the blood, and in the blood, it's generating thrombosis. Don't lose any more. First, there are thrombi, and then there are the different places where this thrombus can do damage.
The first thing: it causes damage in the blood, it causes coagulation, but then, when it can cross, let us say, the capillaries, and it starts to localize in many places, it starts looking for, it stays, it tries to get into the places where there's an important electrophysiological activity, such as the heart and the head.
But in the head, it has the blood-brain barrier, and if the size of the particle is very high, it doesn't cross it. We don't know if it's entering or not. It seems to be entering the heart more than the head, but in reality, it goes everywhere. It goes everywhere. It goes following… What happens is that it's attracted to the places where there is great electrophysiological activity. A great activity, such as the nerves, the nervous system, and the heart.
Why? Because they're cells that are constantly working, constantly launching electrical stimuli. The heart and the nerves. Muscles need a tone for that, they need a rhythm, but they don't have the intensity, let's say, they don't do the same work that the heart does, which is constant and permanent, of contraction and relaxation, and it is completely directed by electrical polarization of its cells. Those polarizations aren't done by the muscles of the skeletal muscle system. It's a much less powerful activity.
That's why people suffer, above all, from nerve problems, Guillain-Barré —like what this guy told us earlier— and in the heart more than in other places. But it does go elsewhere. And it's responsible for hepatitis that has been seen and continues to be seen. And pancreatitis. And what else has it triggered? The meningoencephalitis that we've seen. I mean, that does go everywhere, but particularly, it goes to you know where.
Ricardo Delgado: Heart and head.
Dr. Sevillano: Exactly. And be careful because people who drink it or swallow it … When they ingest it develop gastroenteritis of those that give diarrhea of those in which you spend four or five months with your pants down looking for the toilet all the time. And they say that they don't know where it comes from either.
There are quite a few of this type of colitis they haven't seen, and they don't know where it comes from. They don't know.
They do the biopsies, and they say, "This was colitis that I don't know how it came about."
In other words, it was an inflammation of the colon and so long. But we do know. Especially, when you see those kinds of patients fall near antennas.
Those people drink it somehow in some product, whether it's in the water or in the food. That's where those kinds of problems come from. But it does affect, mostly, the heart and the head. And what makes me think that right now we're not seeing people losing their minds completely, is that I get the feeling that the particles are too big to get through the barrier. And that's why little material gets through, at the moment. But wait until the new doses start to contain smaller-sized particles.

The European Union has expressed its "grave concern" about the upcoming drilling to be conducted by Turkey in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Cyprus.
In a statement issued on Saturday, EU's High Representative and Vice President Federica Mogherini said that the European Council had "strongly condemned Turkey's continuous illegal actions in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea."
Mogherini pledged to "respond appropriately and in full solidity with Cyprus."
Mogherini's statement:
"We express grave concern over Turkey's announced intention to carry out drilling activities within the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus. In March 2018, the European Council strongly condemned Turkey's continued illegal actions in the Eastern Mediterranean. In this context, we urgently call on Turkey to show restraint, respect the sovereign rights of Cyprus in its exclusive economic zone and refrain from any such illegal action to which the European Union will respond appropriately and in full solidarity with Cyprus."

This chapter provides an overview of the current knowledge on aerosols in the marine atmosphere and the effects of aerosols on climate and on processes in the oceanic surface layer. Aerosol particles in the marine atmosphere originate predominantly from direct production at the sea surface due to the interaction between wind and waves (sea spray aerosol, or SSA) and indirect production by gas to particle conversion. These aerosols are supplemented by aerosols produced over the continents, as well as aerosols emitted by volcanoes and ship traffic, a large part of it being deposited to the ocean surface by dry and wet deposition. The SSA sources, chemical composition and ensuing physical and optical effects, are discussed. An overview is presented of continental sources and their ageing and mixing processes during transport. The current status of our knowledge on effects of marine aerosols on the Earth radiative balance, both direct by their interaction with solar radiation and indirect through their effects on cloud properties, is discussed. The deposition on the ocean surface of some key species, such as nutrients, their bioavailability and how they impact biogeochemical cycles are shown and discussed through different time and space scales approaches.

Do you have a trade show coming up somewhere in Broward County, Florida? Trade shows can be vital to businesses. A successful trade show can mean a huge boost in revenue. But in order to succeed at a trade show, you must have the perfect trade show display.
Trade shows allow businesses to engage with potential customers who have self-selected as being interested in their products or services by simply attending the trade show.

You want as many people to visit your trade show booth or area as possible, and you want their experience there to be a memorable and informative one. To achieve all this, you need a professionally-crafted trade show display.

Smith released, gets probation in plea agreement for 1987 Talbot murder
EASTON — Jonathan Smith, one of three men implicated in the 1987 murder-burglary of Adeline Wilford in Easton, was released as part of a plea deal on Wednesday, April 21 after spending more than 20 years of a life sentence behind bars.
Smith entered an Alford plea to first-degree felony murder and daytime housebreaking in the case of Wilford's death. The plea is not an admission of guilt but acknowledges a potential for conviction if the case had gone to trial.
The conditions of his pleading guilty were that his sentence be suspended and he be granted probation. Talbot Circuit Judge Stephen Kehoe accepted the plea and handed Smith five years of supervised probation and a suspended life sentence.
Joseph Michael, special prosecutor in the case, said he reached the agreement with Smith's attorney Don Salzman over the previous weekend. Michael said a plea deal had always been a potential outcome in the case but Smith had not previously been willing plead guilty.
The prosecutor said of the agreement April 21 that while "the only real justice would be for this crime to never have happened," he stands behind his offer "because this matter needs to be closed."
Smith "can hide behind an Alford plea," he said, "but he's a guilty man and he will always be guilty."
Salzman said Smith, who is now 52 years old and was sentenced to life in prison when he was in his early 30s, accepted the plea so "he could go home to his family."
"This is not justice for him. This is not over. Mr. Smith has suffered prejudice, and he cannot get a fair trial because of misconduct the state has acknowledged," Salzman said, pointing to the prosecution's misconduct in Smith's 2001 case that ended in his being convicted by a jury of murder.
The misconduct is evidenced to have involved state actors compensating witnesses for their testimony against Smith and withholding exculpatory evidence that contradicted its narrative in the case. It is the basis on which the Maryland Court of Appeals overturned Smith's conviction in 2020.
Smith's release to probation comes nearly three months after David Faulkner, who was accused of having been Smith's accomplice in Wilford's murder and also had his conviction overturned, was freed and the state decided not to go forward with his retrial.
Mandi Smith, Jonathan's sister, said after the hearing April 21 that she's been waiting for her brother to be released for 20 years.
"He is my everything," she told The Star Democrat. "My whole world was turned upside down when he got locked up. Mama said on her death bed that everything was going to be alright and that Jonathan was going to be home soon. All I've ever asked for every holiday was to have him home."
Two of Wilford's three children were in the courtroom April 21. The third sat in on the hearing via Zoom video call, which was offered as a way to provide public access while maintaining coronavirus pandemic-driven capacity limits in the courtroom.
Wilford's youngest child, who is known as Pucky, said it was "impossible to describe in words the way I feel." She said her mother's killing is a "horror I have to live with for the rest of my life" and the ongoing litigation has "cut a hole so deep within" her.
"Where is the justice?" Pucky said. "This isn't over for us and it never will be."
Kehoe said ahead of his decision to accept the plea agreement that he is "confident" the defense and prosecution "did not reach this agreement without anguish." The judge commended both parties for their "commitment to justice" and their "professionalism in reaching this agreement."
Smith was released that evening. The conditions of his probation prohibit Smith from contacting Wilford's family and require him to meet regularly with a probation officer.
Michael said he did not know exactly where Smith would be living upon his release but that it would be in Talbot County.

If you scroll through Belle Mariano's feed, you'll notice that the Gen Z It Girl is a *master* at posing. Whether she's dressed up in fancy gowns, clothes for taping, or even just her rest day OOTDs, she knows her best angles, resulting in effortlessly cute pictures that we cannot help but double tap!
Want to recreate the same vibe for your Insta? Ahead, seven of the 20-year-old actress' cutest poses, as seen on her grid:
1. This one's for all the shy girls out there: Posing for the camera doesn't require you to look at the lens at all times. As Belle demonstrates in her off-duty OOTD, you can turn your head to the side and ~fix~ your hair for an effortless look.
2. Instead of standing up straight, you can slightly bend one of your legs to achieve this more laidback pose that doesn't look awkward.
3. Having your picture taken from a lower angle will make it look as if you have ~*longer*~ legs. If you have an iPhone like Belle, make sure to use the 0.5x camera—you'll immediately look taller in photos!
4. Having sunglasses is one of the best props you can have for a photo, TBH. You can shyly peek over your lens for an instant cute pic. Bonus points if you do it with your back turned, just like what Belle did.
5. Don't know what to do with your hands? Make use of your surroundings. In the photo, Belle placed hers on the wall beside her to further elevate her pose.
6. Sometimes, all you need to do to get a good photo is to let loose!
7. Aww, Belle looks absolutely adorable in this photo and we just want to place her in our pocket.

This project is full focusing on the newer technology "photogrammetry" as this is something I really enjoyed in my first semester in 3rd year. I can see loads of potential with this software as more and more companies are using it, it is definitely another good skill to learn as it is fairly new.
The aim of this project for me was to create some high quality, game ready assets / materials to extend my knowledge further from the first semester.
Here is a video of the angel statue real time in Unreal Engine:
Other than photogrammetry, I really want to improve on my 3D modelling skills for making props as I also find this really enjoyable to do, always happy to learn new techniques and software if needed.

Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Jun 15, 1999
Comment:Recommendation: Fund. Review in FY2002 funding cycle.
Comments: A fundamental premise of this proposal is that stream food resources and habitat availability are key factors to the decline in salmonid populations in the Basin, as focused on how terrestrial (riparian) diversity influences stream communities. The proposers seek to examine primary and secondary food web linkages between various successional stages of riparian vegetation and stream-dwelling juvenile salmonids. The primary focus is the contribution of plant and insect litter. Analysis of historic patterns in riparian vegetation changes will be extrapolated to reconstruct changes in riparian habitat structure, diversity, density and extent over time. An admirable goal of the proposal is also to expand the scope of the study beyond reach or site specific phenomena to include connections with historical, watershed and regional processes; although the exact mechanisms for doing this are not obvious beyond upstream and downstream effects. The ultimate goal is to provide information useful in riparian restoration.
This proposal addresses a relatively ignored aspect of stream ecology, e.g., the comparative contribution of "fall-out" or litter insects to stream productivity, and its relationship to riparian vegetation composition and structure. In and of itself, this aspect would be worthy of support. There are a few unanswered questions, such as how they propose to separate the effects of riparian structure on stream temperatures and solar incidence from plant and litter fall. There are a plethora of questions and hypotheses, but no real description about how the various answers and products are going to be integrated; in this respect, a modeling component would definitely strengthen the project. The study is also concentrated in just the Umatilla and Imnaha basins, and one criticism is that applicability of these results beyond the eastern Oregon portion of the Basin (e.g., to upper Snake watersheds, eastern Washington, etc.) will be tenuous; inclusion or ultimate validation in other ecosystems would be desirable.
The proposal' is explicitly related to NWPPC FWP sections that addresses both the health and integrity of the Columbia River Basin and the rebuilding of upriver populations. It also approaches habitat analysis from a whole watershed perspective, and addresses critical uncertainties and tests important hypotheses. The project is well justified and progresses from previous work funded by the FWP, although it appears to be somewhat isolated from other high-watershed research within the Program. There are points of collaboration with other research projects, some of which are part of the FWP. Much of this appears to be in the form of interest and courtesy transfer of information, and there are no evident interdependencies or other strong links between research programs.
Objectives are specific, given in the form of research questions and associated hypotheses. Components of the project design are reasonable and defensible, although complex in the hypotheses being addressed and linkages among diffuse components. The project would benefit from simple modeling approaches to sort out different independent factors, etc. Methods are well described mostly in sufficient detail. There is some vagueness regarding the size of study reaches. Reviewers have a question about where the information to "reconstruct riparian community succession " is coming from. Proposers say they will analyze time series of aerial photographs of riparian zones in different areas; reviewers assume these are available on the proposed study streams. Proposers, in their description of invertebrate sampling, propose to make visual counts of large-bodied aquatic invertebrates using a water scope along 5 transects; reviewers do not see this as providing additional information not present in Serber samples.
OSU facilities and personnel are likely the most qualified and capable within the region. This proposal includes good use of a conceptual model. This proposal is unique among riparian restoration as it takes an analytical approach to understanding functional relationships between riparian habitat and restoration activities. The proposal would benefit from incorporation of modeling to address and separate the effects of temperature, solar incidence, and succession.
CBFWA Funding Recommendation
Do Not Fund
Aug 20, 1999
Aug 20, 1999
Comment:May be considered an innovative project.
Technically Sound? No
Aug 20, 1999
Comment:Good proposal that provides important information on where aquatic productivity is high within seral-stage riparian areas. However, there is no discussion of alternative hypotheses that may explain aquatic productivity.
Clarify the link to real time management activities.
Budget appears excessive.
Rank 2
Oct 8, 1999
Comment:Rank Comments: This innovative proposal, highly recommended for funding in FY99, addresses a relatively ignored aspect of stream ecology, e.g., the comparative contribution of "fall-out" or litter insects to stream productivity, and its relationship to riparian vegetation composition and structure. It has general basinwide application and addresses each of the Council's criteria.
ISRP Review (ISRP 99-3)
Rank 2
Oct 8, 1999
Comment:This innovative proposal, highly recommended for funding in FY99, addresses a relatively ignored aspect of stream ecology, e.g., the comparative contribution of "fall-out" or litter insects to stream productivity, and its relationship to riparian vegetation composition and structure. It has general basinwide application and addresses each of the Council's criteria.
Fund as innovative
Mar 1, 2000
Comment:27. Projects recommended by ISRP, but rated tier 2 or tier 3 by CBFWA/Innovative projects.
There are two groups of projects that the Council considered for funding. First, the ISRP recommended projects for funding that were rated as either tier 2 or tier 3 by CBFWA (the "elevated projects"). Two law enforcement projects were added to this "elevated" list because they did not receive a funding recommendation from CBFWA, but were rated as "fund" by the ISRP. The second group of projects are those that the ISRP identified in its report as "innovative" and offering promising new techniques or approaches (the "innovative projects").
All of the projects that the ISRP found to be "innovative" (and also meeting the scientific review standards) were included in first list of "elevated" projects by the ISRP. The Council itself did not combine the project lists.
In past reports, the ISRP has expressed concern that new and innovative project proposals were not receiving sufficient attention in the funding process. Two years ago, the Council created a targeted request for proposals process for certain areas of interest that had not otherwise received funding recommendations, and a relatively small amount of funding was provided for qualifying projects. The Fiscal Year 2000 solicitation for proposals indicated that an "innovative proposal fund" would be established to support new initiatives of this type.
However, no criteria were specified for "innovative" proposals and most new projects were not proposed as "innovative." The Council requested that the ISRP prioritize the list of "elevated" projects (42 total). The Council also asked the ISRP to consider four specific criteria in its rankings. They were asked to determine if the project: 1) dealt with an unimplemented program area; 2) improves existing projects; 3) has systemwide significance; and 4) advances critical watershed assessment work. The ISRP ranked the projects from 1 to 42 based on their assessment of the overall worth of each project and indicated which of the criteria were met by each. The Council reviewed the ranked list of 42 projects, and determined that it would not recommend funding for all of them. The Council established $2 million as a planning target for funding projects on this list. In order to bring discipline to the selection process, the Council decided what type of projects it wanted to recommend the limiting funding for. The Council determined that it wished to focus on research-oriented projects that the ISRP found to be innovative, and also met two or more of the four criteria identified above (as determined by the ISRP). At the February 1, 2000 work session meeting in Portland, the Council recommended possible funding for eleven projects from the list of 42 elevated projects. Those projects are:
20045, 20057, 20034, 20102, 20106, 9803500, 20064, 20006, 20067, 20076, and 20054.
Review of the ISRP rankings shows that only these projects were identified by the ISRP as fulfilling an unimplemented program area and having systemwide significance. These 11 projects were mainly in the upper half of the overall ranking; the lowest-ranked project on the list ranks 24 out of 42. All 11 projects are research-oriented and, by definition, fulfill part of our current fish and wildlife program and have importance for the system as a whole. The Council found that this seems a reasonable subset of projects to be funded as "innovative."
The Council has previously indicated its desire to cover all of the initial costs for "innovative" projects at the time they are selected, allowing a new competition for funding of innovative projects to be held each year without creating a burden on future years' budgets. Unfortunately, the proposed budgets for these eleven projects, over the next four years, would exceed $8 million. (The budgets for the first four projects alone would exceed $4 million.) Rather than fully fund a few projects, the Council's proposal is to provide initial funding for preliminary research, prototyping, and proof of concept for all 11 projects. Specifically, the proposal is to offer each project $200,000 (or the amount initially requested by the sponsor if that amount is less than $200,000), for a total of $2,119,000. After completion of the initial work and a final report on that work, project sponsors would be free to seek additional funding as a part of the regular project selection process.
While $200,000 is much less than the sum requested for most of these projects, it is still a substantial amount by the standards of most research grants and should lead to meaningful results. This approach also allows us to gain further information on the value of research before making a large, long-term investment.
Project sponsors designated to receive this funding are being asked to prepare a revised plan of work reflecting the reduced funding. The revised plan would be reviewed by Council staff and the chairman of the ISRP to assure that the revised plan still represents valuable research that is consistent with the proposal originally reviewed by the ISRP. In summary, the staff proposal is as follows:
- Fund only the 11 projects identified by the ISRP meeting as both fulfilling an unimplemented area of the Council program and having systemwide significance.
- Offer each of these 11 projects $200,000 (or the amount requested if less than $200,000).
- Review by ISRP chair and Council staff of a revised plan for each project to assure that proposed work is valuable research consistent with the original proposal.
- Require final report to be submitted before project can apply for additional funding.
- Projects funded within this project category may not reapply in subsequent years for funding under the "innovative" category, which the Council expects to explicitly develop for future project solicitations but may apply for additional funding within the regular project selection process
After the Council and ISRP representatives review the revised plans for the eleven projects noted above, and confirm that valuable innovative research can be conducted and reported under the funding and other conditions discussed above, the Council will advise Bonneville under separate cover of its final recommendations for these projects. The Council anticipates that it can provide final recommendations for these projects to Bonneville in late March. Bonneville should refer to that separate letter on this issue for the final Council recommendations on these projects.
Note: Unless the context indicates otherwise, "fund" means that the Council would recommend to the Bonneville Power Administration that a project be funded. The Council's fish and wildlife program is established by statute for implementation by Bonneville, and the Council itself does not directly fund fish and wildlife mitigation. However, in recent years, Bonneville has followed the Council recommendations closely.

Workshop AnnouncementFebruary 12th, 2012
On February 17th through the 19th, I will be organizing a workshop with Bill Bowen on "Embodiment in Psychotherapy."
On Friday night there will be a free lecture from 7:00-8:30:
"The Process of Becoming Embodied for Client and Therapist". This lecture will discuss how the quality of both client and therapist being embodied is central to the process of somatic psychotherapy. It will discuss how the therapist's sense of embodiment affects the quality of connection, the assessment process, and his or her ability to help the client become more mindful and embodied, as well.
Please come with your body and enjoy this experiential and didactic evening with me.
If you are interested in attending this lecture you can register with me: email@example.com
On Saturday, we will be hosting a full day workshop (9:30AM to 5:00PM):
"Being Embodied as Therapist". Going deeper into the theme of "therapist embodiment," this workshop will examine how the quality of embodied connection and interaction between client and therapist is essential in the process of somatic psychotherapy. The workshop will explore the concepts of awareness and presence from a somatic perspective. The workshop will focus on how to work with "somatic resonance" between client and therapist. It will explore ways for the therapist to strengthen his or her ability to stay physically resourced and present during the therapeutic process. The workshop will include didactic and experiential exercises for participants to use to examine their own process and develop new perspectives and skills.
For more information or to register for this workshop: Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or go to www.psychophysicaltherapy.com
Cost: $150, 6 CE'S available
Sunday's workshop (also from 9:30AM to 5:00PM) will be:
"Embodiment, the Fundamental Somatic Resource: Supporting Clients in Becoming Embodied". This workshop will focus on supporting a client in developing a greater sense of somatic awareness and an increased capacity to be present in his or her body as part of the therapeutic process. The workshop will explore how to introduce the practice of somatic awareness to new clients. It will explore ways to support clients who are disembodied or dissociated with increasing their ability to be more somatic ally awareness. It will examine ways introduce new somatic resources designed to assist clients towards change. This workshop will also incorporate experiential exercises as part of the learning process.
For more information or to register for this workshop: Please contact me at email@example.com, or go to www.psychophysicaltherapy.com
Cost: $150, 6 CE'S available
Both workshops and the lecture will be help at the Rosen Center, 825 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA 94710

Understanding Couples TherapyFebruary 5th, 2012
The first thing to keep in mind about understanding couples therapy is that all couples fight. John Gottman's research shows us that the success of a relationship or marriage does not depend on the number of fights a couple has. Successful relationships depend on a couples' ability to have more positive interactions than negative interactions and how they work with each other to manage their arguments.
One of the first steps in how work with couples is to help them realize and gain greater awareness of the "pattern" of their fights/arguments. For couples' arguments tend to be repetitive in nature. So if you are having trouble arguing with your partner, you may notice that the "moves" of the fight are the same, it's just the topic that changes.
When couples recognize that they have this pattern or "play book" that most their fights follow, they can then begin to discover how the pattern reinforces itself. It's the tragedy of a struggling relationship; the attempts to solve the problem become the cause of the problem.
After gaining insight into the fight pattern itself, I then assist the couple in learning to recognize the deeper needs, beliefs, or pain driving the pattern. Once couple truly understands how they fight and what drives the fight, they know have the knowledge-power to do something about it.
This is the second phase of therapy, learning to turn towards each other and discuss what is really happening or needed without triggering the other into a defensive stance.
While couples are working on developing this understanding of their fights and learning the tools to change it, they need to simultaneously strengthen their positive feeling and behaviors towards each other, as well. Gottman's research shows that successful couples have a positive to negative interaction ratio of greater than 6:1, while couples who ended up divorced or separated have a ration of less than 6:1. What this shows us is that while working on changing the fight pattern is important to create a safety and understanding; qualities like friendship, admiration, fondness, and respect for each other are equally important to the survival of the relationship.
Therefore, while half the focus of couples therapy is about understanding and working through what goes wrong, the other half has to do with really learning how to love each other in a much more impactful way.

Dog Days
Summer, virgin bride, hides in winter's
Greedy grasp to make us wait
For her promised glory. At last
June wends its way past
Borning of summer to
Seek July's pressing fire.
Days of grill fed smoke,
Sunstroke and rude shock of
Black powder's shriek and boom.
Ice cream cranked under shade
Of smoke house wall, flags
Both loved, scorned, waft under
A listless wind curling round the oak.
August waits in the wing, scritch
Of locust and hush of sun burned doze.
Baked earth,
Dry sky,
Baby birds fly.
Remember summer hidden in winter's
Greedy grasp . . .?
I wish instead
The gift of April's easy
opening of her flower,
and promise.

It's the back-to-school season — a time when families with school-aged children prepare for the start of another academic year. This usually entails shopping for school supplies, new clothes, and most importantly, a visit to your doctor for annual exams, sports physicals and recommended vaccinations. However, this year looks a bit different. Families are managing a global pandemic, parents are working from home while watching their children or struggling to find child care, and many schools have transitioned to online and distance learning. And while some things are different in 2020, one thing remains the same: Annual vaccinations are still effective and are still recommended to help prevent diseases such as whooping cough, measles, mumps, chicken pox, influenza and more. Unfortunately, across Hawaii, COVID-19 concerns have kept a number of people away from seeking medical care, and since March, vaccination rates have plummeted. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports less than half of 5-month-olds were on schedule for vaccines — a significant decrease from the typical rate of about 66%. The CDC reports similar trends among older children, with non-influenza vaccination rates decreasing by nearly 22% for children 18 years or younger. As the chief medical officer for 'Ohana Health Plan, a Medicaid provider in Hawaii, I see this as an important public health issue for our keiki. Last year, the CDC reported the highest number of measles cases since 1992 — and about 10% of them were sick enough to be hospitalized. Vaccination rates for measles need to be at 93% to 95% of the population to prevent a spread, but in Hawaii, only 91.5% of kindergarteners received the measles vaccine. As we continue to face a global pandemic, the highly contagious nature of these diseases is exactly why we need to stay on top of immunizations. The last thing we need is another viral outbreak while hospitals continue to deal with an influx of patients and a shortage of both staff and personal protective equipment. Even children with milder cases of diseases like measles or whooping cough tend to experience unpleasant symptoms such as a fever, sore throat, cough, runny nose, rash or vomiting that can last anywhere from days to weeks. Let's prevent the needless suffering of our children and of other vulnerable children who could catch these contagious diseases. The schedule of immunizations for children recommended by the CDC is carefully considered for necessity and timing, and delays for vaccinations or booster shots put children at greater risk of disease. As we all continue to practice social distancing, visiting the doctor can be done safely and conveniently. Expect to see everyone in masks, and you may find that the waiting room is now in the parking lot. This year, don't let COVID-19 prevent you and your ohana from scheduling annual examinations and vaccinations against measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough or influenza. It's the most important item on your back-to-school checklist. Sherie Smalley, M.D., is the chief medical officer for 'Ohana Health Plan.

With the launch of Rent the Runway Unlimited this past week, I thought I'd quickly share my recent experience with the service while it was still in the beta program.
Despite the fact the new program wasn't heavily publicized until now, I was put on the waiting list for ten months this past year. In fact, I had nearly forgotten about it until they contacted me two months ago while I was eight months pregnant. I asked customer service if I could wait until I had given birth and lost some weight. After all, why pay for an unlimited service when I would have a very limited selection due to my pregnancy?
Nope, they said. Sign up within two days or lose your spot. After all, according to this article, 40,000 women would love to take the spot.
It was Mr. Wonderful that convinced me to give it a try for a month. It'll be fun, he said, and when else would you get to wear a $1600 dress for a fraction of the price?
Unlimited costs $139/month. It sounds like a lot, especially when the bargain shopper in me considered I could get (and keep!) a couple of decent designer pieces at Nordstrom Rack for that price. And buying clothing online is always a hit or miss. You never know how it will fit until it arrives and you try it on. I knew being eight months pregnant wouldn't make things any easier.
On the other hand, you don't have to worry about the hassle and cost of dry cleaning. Wear the clothes, then return it as is to the nearest UPS store. You can test drive expensive bags instead of risking buyer's remorse with your purchases. And it's perfect for the times you have lots of special events to attend and don't want to be wearing the same two dresses over and over.
The rule is you can rent any three pieces in their inventory at a time. Return one and once their warehouse receives it, you can choose a new piece. On average, the item arrived at my door about 3 days after I picked something out. Not bad considering I live in San Francisco and this company is based in New York. During my one-month trial I was able to rent eight different designer pieces, including the cobalt sleeveless jacket pictured on top, and the Clare V leopard bag featured below. My favorite piece was this Nanette Lepore dress, followed by the Nha Khanh gown I wore to a friend's wedding. The Rebecca Taylor Trace tweed vest became a go-to for a week and I was a little sad to part with it.
Then there were pieces that were complete flops, like this orange $1595 Derek Lam dress. There should really be an honest disclaimer for items that will just not work on petites, unless their arms reach their knees. And while this navy dress by DVF looked cute on the model and roomy enough for my belly, Mr. Wonderful immediately cringed when I put it on. Return.
All in all, it was a fun month. Do I recommend it? Yes, if you tend to have a lot of social events on your calendar and the idea of trying new clothes and accessories sounds like fun. Bonus if you live in the East Coast (faster turn around), and another bonus if you're at least 5'6″ with a nice bosom. Being pregnant and petite definitely eliminated about half the inventory for me, especially since I normally wear a size 00 and their smallest size starts at size 0 (with most designs starting at size 2). Including accessories in your rentals will help you feel like you got your money's worth.
What do you think of the Rent the Runway Unlimited idea? Would you ever consider trying it?
Amadi crosswrap dress (current version), Burberry trench (similar by H&M), Nine West heels, Clare V. leopard Sandrine bag

It used to be that only movie stars had those dazzling brighter-than-bright teeth. But in recent years many new cosmetic dental techniques have sprung up.
Nowadays, there's no reason you can't have a pretty smile that's the equivalent of Marilyn's (or Tom Cruise's). Here are just a few of the ways a cosmetic dentist can improve the looks and appeal of normal teeth:
Teeth Whitening - Just over the past two to three years new and safe professional teeth whitening systems have been developed. The teeth are covered with gauze and the tooth bleaching (carbamide peroxide) solution carefully applied. After three or four half-hour sessions, you can really see the difference. There are also home tooth whitening products with step-by-step procedures that enhance tooth color over several weeks.
Dental Bonding - Tooth bonding is a simple, single-visit cosmetic dentistry procedure that closes unsightly gapped teeth. We polish and prepare the teeth with a fine etching, then cover them with a composite overlay. There's usually no anesthetic needed, little or no drilling, and the teeth are protected as well as being cosmetically enhanced.
Dental Veneers - Today we have exciting new biomaterials to straighten crooked teeth, as well as brighten and close gaps. We call them porcelain laminate veneers. They're microscopically thin ceramic shells that cover problem teeth - and leave you with something to smile about!
Throughout history, dentists have tried to recreate the function and beauty of natural teeth when tooth structure has been lost. Restoring function used to be the main goal of a dentist because prior to the 1970's, dentistry lacked the proper technology to achieve fine esthetics as well as function. Dentists could only predictably offer patients a restoration that would simply "fill" the empty space. Today, dentistry has more advanced dental materials and newly developed techniques that allow dentists to offer artistically-recreated, natural-looking crowns and modern tooth bonding that would fool even the most critical eye.
Before you can understand how crowns and tooth bonding can mimic teeth you must understand why natural teeth appear as they do.
It is a common mistake for patients to think that their teeth are all one color. Your teeth are never just one color. They are a series of superimposed translucent layers of varying shades. Teeth also have different surface textures that reflect light in ways that affect the color of your teeth.
Your teeth are made up of three layers: pulp, dentin, and enamel. Each layer has a specific thickness, composition and structure. Additionally, the way light reflects off of or transluces through the layers gives you the color of your teeth. Using knowledge about the three layers of teeth allow dentists and dental technicians to recreate natural-looking dental crowns and tooth bonding.
Dental crown technicians are the true artisans in dentistry. Dentists begin the crown-making process by reducing the size of the tooth, making an impression of the reduced tooth, and selecting the proper shades of the tooth. This information is then transferred to the dental technician so a crown can be made.
Dental technicians blend science with artistic knowledge to recreate natural-looking teeth. Artistically, they use frame and reference, proportion and idealism, perspective and illusion as well as symmetry to mimic nature. Understanding the language of colors and using new dental materials and techniques has allowed the dentist to not only "fill" missing spaces but create cosmetic dentistry artwork from crowns and tooth bonding as well.

Scientists are breaking new ground in the eternal quest to create ever lighter materials – this time forging a metal so weightless it can sit atop a dandelion.
Yahoo News reports that the team of U.S. researchers from University of California at Irvine, HRL Laboratories and the California Institute of Technology has developed the metal, which is about 100 times lighter than Styrofoam. They constructed a metallic lattice of hair-thin pipes to show off their latest creation, beating out the previously lightest substances in the world, aerogels. They can have densities of 1 mm per cc, making them less dense than air at room temperature and sea level.
(LIST: The 50 Best Inventions)
The work is significant because the strategy employed by the team could lead to the development of more materials of extraordinary strength and lightness, according to detailed findings in the Nov. 18 issue of the journal Science. Up until now ultra-lightweight creations, like aerogels, were limited because their structures are classed as random – in laymen's terms too weak to withstand pressure. But these latest low-density metallic lattices have orderly structures, meaning they possess higher levels of stiffness, strength and conductivity. Apparently the scientists took some inspiration from, believe it or not, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.
"Our vision is to revolutionize lightweight materials by adopting principles of architecture into their design," researcher Tobias Schaedler, lead scientist at HRL Laboratories in Malibu, Calif., told InnovationNewsDaily. "If you look at the Eiffel Tower or Golden Gate Bridge, they're incredibly light and strong for their size by virtue of their architecture — the Eiffel Tower is taller and lighter than the pyramids because of its design," Schaedler explained. "We want to achieve the same thing these modern buildings achieve by working on the structures of materials."

Monthly Poll: Can you drive manual transmission?
September 04, 2014
Photo: iStock
I really like watching the Amazing Race (and not just because Petro-Canada is a sponsor of this year's The Amazing Race Canada!). But I am always amazed that every season, there is at least one team that appears to have never watched the show.
This is the team who totally shocked when there's a weird food challenge. Or they fail to keep track of their special Amazing Race passport fanny pack. Or, they aren't prepared to drive a stick shift.
If I were preparing for The Amazing Race Canada, the first thing on my list would be to practice my stick-shift driving. Because there is nothing so stressful as having the lead in the Race and watching it dwindle as team after team passes you in their manual transmission vehicle, all because you didn't spend a little time learning how to drive stick.
Of course, driving stick has more benefits than getting you ahead on TV's most exciting reality show - according to manual transmission devotees, driving stick is more fun, can offer better handling and may also deliver better fuel economy. All good reasons to consider giving the ol' manual transmission a try.
So, how about you? How's your stick-handling? Natural-born clutch jockey? Or would you be the team-member in the back seat thanking your lucky stars that your team mate drives a 1972 manual transmission Dodge Dart at home?
And for all of you Amazing Race Canada fans - there are still a few more weeks left in the Petro-Canada Fuel Your Favourite Team contest. Every time you vote for your favourite Amazing Race Canada team, you'll be entered for a chance to win free gas for a year (see contest rules for details)!
The contest runs until September 20th and you can vote once per day, so be sure to get voting ASAP!

Hello everyone! I am back with an interesting article on one of the oldest printing techniques which is still used worldwide – BLOCK PRINTING.
Let us begin by knowing what exactly is block printing or also sometimes called as wooden block printing because the blocks are made out of wood.
Woodblock printing is a technique for printing text, images or patterns used widely throughout East Asia and originating in China in antiquity as a method of printing on textiles and later paper.
Before moving ahead, let us know about the history of block printing. The history of printing goes back to the duplication of images by means of stamps in very early times. The use of round seals for rolling an impression into clay tablets goes back to early Mesopotamian civilization before 3000 BC, where they are the most common works of art to survive, and feature complex and beautiful images. In both China and Egypt, the use of small stamps for seals preceded the use of larger blocks. In China, India and Europe, the printing of cloth certainly preceded the printing of paper or papyrus.
Steps to do block printing is time consuming and has to be done very precisely. Here is a description of the steps to do block printing.
1. The first step is to sketch a pattern or design, you want to print. The making of design has to be very precise and practical.
2. The second step is to trace the design on wood. If you want to make your own block and you are not comfortable using wood then you can also use lino sheets.
3. Now, using proper and professional tools, the design traced on wood has to be carved. The carving process is done with a lot of precision and patience.
4. After the block is ready, the next step is to get the color right. The paints used for block printing has to be very accurate so that you get the exact color desired. To get the exact color, referring to the color wheel is the best option.
5. Thickness of the dye is a very important factor. Thickness of dye is different for different fabrics. For light weight textiles, the dye should not be very diluted otherwise the color leaks in the fabric. For thick textiles, the dye should be diluted so that the dye don't stay on the surface.
6. Now when you apply the dye to the block, you will have to be careful that appropriate amount of dye should be applied to the block .
7. The block should be correctly placed on the fabric and should be pressurised with the maximum horizontal surface area.
There are different types of blocks available in the market for different application, for example roller blocks, wooden blocks, metal blocks, half blocks for repeats.You can also create your own block a simple DIY method.
These days a lot of designers are using block prints. Block printing is not only used in garments but also note book covers, bedsheets, scarfs etc. Designers like Anokhi, Global desi, Vera moda, W etc have lots of fashionable products with block prints.
I hope this article was a good guide to have your own block printed stuffs and also to experiment with it.
