No, I shall conjure them up out of mid air cos it's easier to send them to you all that way. I think that must be the drink talking: I must go and pack.
No, no, you don't understand: I am taking orders for when I come home again next week - as long as I can stand the rain that long.
Inkadog: your island and your life sound wonderful apart from the tent caterpillars. Thank you for the word picture.
Sotongeoff: I draw the line at bringing you a chicken korma patsy: how about a bacon and egg one? Apparently they are quite good.
There's a duck in my garden: perhaps he's heard about the slug buffet. He's welcome.
Hedgehogs don't obey curfew round here which is why they become road pizzas - v. sad.
Apparently the sun is shining in Cornwall ... so off we go, and I'll see you all when we get back.
It isn't raining. I am sure there's something I ought to be doing but I can't remember what ... I know, gardening ...
Kate: your poor OH and passenger: hope all mends soon.
Weather forecast was a bit pessimistic. We've mowed the grass, tied up all the escaped roses and sown some more French beans, so can I watch Rafa in the final of the French Open this afternoon? Pretty please ... ?
Yup, Kate, still plenty in the bottle. Just seen the forecast for a.m. tomorrow. Not really worth getting out of bed ...
The one big advantage of the BBQ is that OH does a nice line in chops/steak/bangers and doesn't make the house smell of cooking. He just has to put up with cooking on his own (he's under cover: I don't make him cook in the rain). Of course you can come round, Kate, I'll get him to put extra on ... oh, too late, he says it's ready.
PS the bloomin' slugs have eaten the cucumber plants as well. Time for a proper drink...
Kate, the tomatoes started by being attacked by Thursday's typhoon so I tied them up really thoroughly in their south facing (sheltered!!) bed. But I forgot to renew the slug pellets after the rain, and last night the slugs went straight for the bruised stems and ate straight through them. I would like to have the post of slug made redundant, except that it would probably mean that something, somewhere goes hungry.
OH is lighting the BBQ (gas) as we speak, so there's something non-veggie tonight.
Not sure what it was but the sky was a strange shade of blue and I got quite warm ... could this have been The Summer? Just discovered that my delicious Italian tomatoes will never be (well not this year anyway). Where can I find a source of names for roses which I have been given without labels? They are grown up and flowering and I would like to know what they are called.
Good: time for a cuppa. Bruises not too bad. Thanks for your concerns.

With the Woodland Conference season coming to an end, Wauwatosa West could be staring at a championship before the week is over.
The Trojans, Greendale and New Berlin Eisenhower were each 9-4 going into the week, with Whitnall (9-5) a half-game behind.
Tosa West is 1-1 against Eisenhower, they beat Greendale, 10-1, on Monday to start the week and they haven't played New Berlin West (13-1) or St. Thomas More (8-8) of the Blue Division yet.
The Trojans were scheduled to play a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday, playing at New Berlin West in the afternoon and then traveling to Greendale on Tuesday night.
The Trojans close out the week with a split doubleheader on July 6, playing non-conference games at Cedarburg at noon and at Mukwonago at 5 p.m. They then play St. Thomas More at 11 a.m. July 7 at Breitlow Field.
The Trojans will then open the WIAA postseason tournament at Breitlow Field at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday against Marquette.
Monday's game saw Greendale freshman Zach Miller take the mound against junior Austin Jones, the Trojans' top hurler, and it turned into a pitchers's duel with Tosa West leading, 2-1, going into the bottom of the eighth inning.
The Trojans then exploded for eight runs off Miller and Justin Povlick as the Trojans sent 12 men to the plate.
Tyler Gross' bases-loaded double keyed the inning, while Jones and Mickey Morgan had RBI singles and the Panthers chipped in two errors and two walks.
"I felt great," Jones said. "I haven't pitched in a while so my arm felt really fresh. So when we had a lead like that all I had to do was throw strikes."
Jones was brilliant, as he allowed four hits, walked three and struck out nine.
Two-out singles by Ben Zachman, Gross and Jones got the Trojans on top, 1-0, in the third inning. They then added a run in the fourth on a walk to Jacob Boudreau, a hit by Wille Bellknapp, a beautiful sacrifice bunt by Nick Orlowski set up John Syburg's groundout RBI to third.
The Trojans have had the ability to bounce back this year and Monday night it was on display once again. Greendale cut the lead to 2-1 in the fifth and then Tosa West exploded for eight runs in the bottom of the inning.
"This was a big game for us," Gross said. "We needed to answer back. This whole season has been like that."
The Trojans bunt well and hit and run well - in fact hits by Zachman, Gross and Jones in the fifth were hit-and-run shots to right field.
"We play a lot of small ball," Gross said. "We bunt and hit and run a lot at practice and have become pretty good at that."
Hudson shines
Travis Hudson, who is splitting his time this summer between attending exclusive volleyball camps and playing for the Trojans, made his presence felt on June 28 with an impressive complete game effort in a 6-0 win over Shorewood.
Hudson allowed the Greyhounds only three hits while not walking a man and striking out five in pitching his shutout.
He was also the hitting star, going 3-for-4 with two doubles. Morgan went 2-for-2 with a double and Gross went 2-for-3 with a double.
The Trojans scored three in the second inning and then scored two in the fifth and one in the sixth to coast to the win with Hudson in control.

|[Bug 119609] [From Symphony]Alphabetical and roman numberals became ditial numbering

The problem is that field code parser will parse the switch after it return correct numbering format,and then replace the correct value with a default digital numbering format since the switch code cannot be mapped to one of numbering format in svx. Notice there are two switcher "\*MERGEFORMAT" and "\*CHARFORMAT", so the solution is that skip over MERGEFORMAT and CHARFORMAT when field code parser parse numbering. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Jeff Lu is a vice president at Battery Ventures.
Deepak Ravichandran is an associate at Battery Ventures.
Social networks may be the most valuable and durable types of businesses powered by system influences, the phenomenon of products or services becoming more powerful the more people use them. The social-networking companies in our recently launched Network Effect Index groupings of present and formerly public consumer-Web companies valued at$ 1 billion or more outshone the S& P by over 170 percentin the last five years, the most of any business category in the index.
https :// hireinfluence.com/ blog/ influencer-marketing-agency-for-your-brand/
This is one reason the imminent IPO of social/ mobile app Snap, which flourishes on system influences, is being so closely watched. Another is that Click the parent of the ragingly popular Snapchat service, and a company expected to be valued at roughly $20 billion at its offering represent the first believable menace to the Facebook social-networking colossus. Interestingly, Snap has grown by following a route very different than Facebooks so much better so that we are able believe Snap ultimately could be valued less like a traditional social network and more like a hardware-software company, like Apple, or a media business, like Comcast.
Still, whether Snap can continue to draw consumers away from Facebook and likewise compete with Facebook-owned Instagram, which just launched a photo and video story feature similar to Snaps, will be a key story line to watch.
Snap has encountered blistering rise because it launching in 2011, racking up more than 160 million consumers. The chart on the left, below, demonstrates quarterly rise in Snapchats daily active consumers( DAUs) over the last two-and-a-half times. Next to it, nonetheless, is another graphic showing how the launching of Instagrams Stories feature in the summer of 2016 appeared to slow down the number of Snapchats net, brand-new daily active users.
So how did Snapchat take off so quickly, and chart such a different track than Facebook? Three main ways
Not documenting anything
Facebook( along with its Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger enterprises) acts as the social system of account for your life. It storages your photos, keeps way of your relationships and the places you visit, monitors which products you like and your views on the most recent report and so on. While this has created some appreciate for buyers( and advertisers ), theres likewise been an unintended result: If youre on Facebook, your life is now permanent for the world to scour. Just request recent college graduates looking for a chore, or criminal supposes whose Facebook profiles are speedily pillaged by journalists.
This focus on permanence opened up an opportunity for a more whimsical, fun service( Snap) to promise not to document nothing about you online. Through Snap, consumers take photos or videos with their telephones and then send the Snaps to another customer and the Snaps disappear in one to 10 seconds. Not surprisingly, 60 percentage of Snaps consumers are 13 -2 4 years old.
the influencer marketing agency
Snap needs to make sure its consumers mothers dont get on the app .
Having content disappear lowered the barriers to create content, which increased the amount of the information contained for consumers to view on Snap. This drove involvement, and further intensified the content-creation flywheel. Whats more, the fleeting nature of the services offered was called upon to one of our basic feelings: the fear of missing out. FOMO drove people to check their Snaps at unbelievably high rates, as nobody wanted to be the one to miss out on something cool.
It should be pointed out that while the ephemeral nature of Snaps service drove it early on, the company found that disappearing photos and videos had their limits. The company last year launched Remembrance, a personalized and permanent album of favorite Snaps and Tale to bridge this crack and make stronger system influences and stickiness among its consumers. It will be up to Snap to navigate this ephemeral/ permanent balance.
Keeping it real
Snap, by the specific nature, is highly authentic. It promotes consumers to take photos and videos in-the-moment and post them without filters. The camera < em> is the app, and capturing instants and sharing them rapidly not taking 10 different shots to find the most flattering pose is the core activity. Pals and family can see the real you without worry about judgment or consequence.
Will Kim Kardashian and DJ Khaled be the stars of tomorrow? They seem to have discovered the major to success on Snap .
Facebook and Instagram, by compare, sometimes lack authenticity. The perfectly posed photos and airbrushed visages of luminaries can gaze contrived and fake. Even Instagram, which is very popular among millennials, acts more as a biography of your life, a permanent public account with lessening authenticity.
On Snap, meanwhile particularly after the launching of Stories brand-new luminaries such as reality-TV star Kim Kardashian and DJ Khaled, a rapper and account producer, have already been gained mass followings. DJ Khaled applies Snap to communicate with his more than six million followers on topics ranging from leadership to oral hygiene to party planning all with no production costs. Devotees adoration ensure that they are able to peer into the real, unfiltered lives of these luminaries, and aces build stronger relationships with their fans.
Focusing on mobile video from day one
The other reason for Snaps success is its singular focus on mobile video, an rising content category that is gleaning more and more spectators. Mobile video represented close to 50 percentage of all online video positions in 2015, up from less than 5 percentage in 2011, according to the Ooyala Global Video Index. More consumers watched college football and the MTV VMAs on Snap than watched those events on TV.
Facebook, on the other hand, was founded times before Snap as a service based on text and photos. The mass adoption of mobile phones patently disrupted Facebooks traditional desktop interface. While Facebook eventually re-architected its core News Feed experience for the mobile world-wide, Snap reimagined the use lawsuit of teens who grew up on mobile phones, and how they would utilize telephones/ cameras to report "peoples lives". This, be included with the ever-low cost of mobile data, shaped mobile videos cheaper and easier for everyone to share; mobile video has almost become the default setting content type on social media.
For Snap, this strategy proved fruitful. Combined with the launching of Narratives in 2013, system influences took over and propelled video positions to rival that of Facebook( meet chart above ). Basically, Snap was hosting around 10 billion daily video positions early last year, is comparable to eight billion for Facebook, despite a user base one-eighth the size of Facebooks.
Snaps future
Snap needs to out-innovate its contestants to remain cool and relevant after its offering. In keeping with its Los Angeles roots, Snap is currently the sizzling nightclub on the social-media circuit. The trouble with red-hot nightclubs, though, is that they eventually fade in popularity.
Put another way, Snap needs to make sure its consumers mothers dont get on the app which is what happened as Facebook matured and younger consumers shifted to services like Instagram. A full 30 percent of Snap consumersspecifically quoted their parents not being on the services offered as a reason to use the app over others.
Snaps Spectacles rival the style houses of Prada and Gucci in intend and style. Famous decorator Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel and Fendi shot this scene .
One answer might be Spectacles, Snaps answer to the geeky Google Glass. Actually taking out your phone is one of the last barriers to creating videos, and Spectacles glasses with an attached video camera to stream content straight to Snap anchor the user around generating reams of short videos to broadcast his or their own lives. As Spectacles continue to grow, Snap might have the opportunity to introduce other hardware products such as orators or wearables. The company attention to intend, label and culture with these products glean comparisons to Apple.
The other major innovation lever Snap could pull involves interaction with the real world and artificial reality. As consumers continue to draw out their telephones, Snap can create experiences to interact with both physical and virtual regions and pieces. The trendy Pokmon GO game proved the issue is exhilaration around bridging the digital and physical worlds through mobile phones, the key medium for Snap consumers. Snap has already begun this work with its augmented reality Lenses feature, which lets users make whimsical faces based on existing videos.
One final brand-new area of rise for Snap is a possible content marketplace and distribution channel. Already companies like Tastemade, ESPN, E !, CNN and others are dispensing high-quality, mobile-first media through Snap. With the average customer expend 20 hours a month in Snap, its not a extend to understand more millennials unbundling their cable providing services to ingest more content on Snap, and expending less hour with Comcast or Netflix.
Snap is one social network that definitely continues to innovate ephemerally, authentically one Snap at a time.

Make Your Heart Mine
I want your heart.
The one thing that's so hard to take.
You lock it up in a vault for your own sake.
I know how to catch your eye.
I know how to make you look at me when I walk by.
I know how to make you wake up with thoughts of wanting to caress my thighs.
I know how to make you sigh, and imagine pressing your lips against mine.
I can dazzle you, sugar, with a couple coy looks, blush at your jokes, yes, I can make you hooked. Hooked on the way that my curves flow, and make you wonder how it would feel to wrap yourself around me; that's what you want to know.
I know how to reach your mind.
I can take you into a mental state that is enlightening and sublime.
You'll feel as though I am all you ever needed, get your intellect heated, with a wit and perception that has never been defeated.
Mesmerizing and knowledgeable on everything you love.
Your mind begins to search mine; I fit like a glove into your life.
Our conversation is sensational when I reveal that all the things that you're a fan of I am avid of as well.
And I dig deep to bring up words that drive you to think me someone wise, and you're too impressed to question if anything is lies.
But sugar, I don't know how to get your heart.
I don't know how to make you love me – not even where to start. Anyone could please your body or learn to ease your mind, but the one thing I don't know is how to make your heart mine.

Dave Hill Designs
Dave Hill is a name that is synonymous with uniqueness. He has continuously created inspirational audio equipment that has a sonic character, charm and functionality. Whether it's exploring the use of analogue, or digital and DSP/Software coding it's all done with the same determined quest for harmonic pleasure.
Dave Hill Designs was created to allow further development of new audio recording tools, resulting in the first product the Europa1 Class A discrete mic preamp. This is the only analogue mic preamp available that allows Slew Speed control, where you actually change the way it reacts to transients and therefore changing the sound of the preamp. Tailor this with the Even and Odd harmonic content controls, the HPF and the DI input the Europa is one of a kind.
Following on from this Dave released the RA Non-Linear DSP based Plug-in for Pro Tools software. This uses his love of harmonic distortion where the Even harmonic control allows the plugin to work like an upwards compressor - where the peaks are left alone. The Plug-in uses Even harmonics in a way you're left feeling you're driving a Valve unit, rather than relying on the tradition threshold and release of a compressor.
The third product so far, is the TITAN compressor/limiter feedback compressor. This has two types of VCA's, which can be coloured or very clean, a FAT or AIR switch, parallel mix blend dial and the Dynamic colour control to give you distortion, but in a unique way where it sounds like you're bringing up the peaks.

Murder in the Cathedral
€ 10,49
Sofort lieferbar
BeschreibungA play, written for a special memorial celebration in Canterbury, and performed there a short time back, and received with wide acclaim. The play reads well. It is - obviously - the story of the death of Thomas a Becket. The market for plays to read has grown tremendously these past few years. There is interest, always among the "intelligentzia" in a new T.S. Eliot. This should appeal to people who cannot understand his more abstract work, and widen the market considerably. (Kirkus Reviews)
PortraitThomas Stearns Eliot was born in St Louis, Missouri in 1888. He was educated at Harvard, at the Sorbonne in Paris, and at Merton College, Oxford. His early poetry was profoundly influenced by the French symbolists, especially Baudelaire and Laforgue. In his academic studies he specialised in philosophy and logic. His doctoral thesis was on F. H. Bradley.He settled in England in 1915, the year in which he married Vivienne Haigh-Wood and also met his contemporary Ezra Pound for the first time. After teaching for a year or so he joined Lloyds Bank in the City of London in 1917, the year in which he published his first volume, Prufrock and Other Observations.In 1919 Poems was hand-printed by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. His first collection of essays, The Sacred Wood, appeared in 1920. His most famous work, The Waste Land, was published in 1922, the same year as James Joyce's Ulysses. The poem was included in the first issue of his journal The Criterion, which he founded and edited.Three years later he left the bank to become a director of Faber & Gwyer, later Faber & Faber. His Poems 1909-25 was one of the original titles published by Geoffrey Faber's new firm, and the basis of his standard Collected Poems 1909-1962. In 1927 he was received into the Church of England and also became a British citizen. Ash Wednesday was published at Easter 1930.His masterpiece Four Quartets began with 'Burnt Norton' in 1936, continued with 'East Coker' in 1940, 'The Dry Salvages' in 1941 and 'Little Gidding' in 1942. The separate poems were gathered together as one work in 1943. Eliot's writing for the theatre began with the satirical 'Sweeney Agonistes' fragments.In 1934 he wrote the London churches' pageant play 'The Rock', the choruses from which are preserved in Collected Poems, and the next year he was commissioned by the Canterbury Festival to write Murder in the Cathedral, about the martyrdom of St Thomas a Beckett. The Family Reunion followed in 1939, when he also published his children's classic, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, the jacket drawn by Eliot himself. (The Possum was Eliot's alias among friends). He later wrote three more verse plays, all of which were premiered at the Edinburgh Festival: The Cocktail Party, The Confidential Clerk and The Elder Statesman. A film of Murder in the Cathedral was shown at the Venice Film Festival in 1951.Eliot's most important literary criticism is collected in Selected Essays 1917-1932, which he enlarged in 1951. There are a number of other volumes of lectures and essays, among them The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism, For Lancelot Andrewes, On Poetry and Poets, and two works of social criticism - The Idea of a Christian Society and Notes Towards the Definition of Culture. Eliot was appointed to the Order of Merit in January 1948 and in the Autumn was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He married for the second time in 1957, to Valerie Fletcher.Eliot died in January 1965. There is a memorial to him in Westminster Abbey, beside those to Tennyson and Browning. His ashes are in St Michael's Church, East Coker, the Somerset village from which his ancestor Andrew Eliot emigrated to America in 1667.After his death his widow edited the long-lost original manuscript of the The Waste Land and a volume of his letters. She also commissioned editions of his early poems Inventions of a March Hare and his Clark and Turnbull lectures The Varieties of Metaphysical Poetry. Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats provided the lyrics for Andrew Lloyd Webber's dance musical Cats, which has been performed all over the world for the past 25 years.

Racism Paperback
Edited by Martin Bulmer, John Solomos
W. E. B. DuBois wrote in 1903 that 'the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colour line - the relation of the darker to the lighter races in Asia and Africa, in America and in the islands of the sea'.
As the century draws to its close, this remains true; if anything the salience of race and racism in all its manifestations has grown in the recent past.
The last few years have witnessed a growth in academic interest in racism, and in related issues such as nationalism and ethnicity, as well as an increasing general awareness of various kinds of racial conflict and violence in a range of countries and regions across the globe.
This Reader provides a critical overview of the historical development and contemporary forms of racist ideas and institutions.
It brings together material from different theoretical perspectives in an attempt to make sense of the way in which racism has exerted such a powerful influence on the history of humanity.

Bisping Vs Rashad?
Does Ne One Think That This Could Be Bispings Next Match? If It Was How Do U Think He's Fare Against Rashad? I Think Bisping Is Too Well Rounded And He Rocks Rahad On His Feet And Then Submits Hit Via Rear Naked Choke
I am not sure who Bisping should fight but I do think that Evans needs to fight someone more seasoned than anyone from TUF. If Evans is going to develop he will need to prove himself against some experienced seasoned fighters and he will need to be tested more than in his past three fights. I think Bisping/Bonnar would be an interesting fight, both have good ground skills and are good on their feet. I would give the edge to Bisping given Bonnars inabilty to finish his fights.
No, Bisping is not experienced enough yet to beat an undefeated 9 and 0 fighter who has beaten a lot fo good fighters like Rashad Evans. I say give him maybe two more UFC matches then he will probably be able to defeat Rashad Evans. But Evans is a good fighter and wrestler, hes no Jordan Haynes or any of those crappy light heavyweights on the ultimate fighter 3.
And Rashad is decent although his fights are boring and he ends them by decision but usually dominates his opponents. But he has not faught anyone great. Stephan Bonner and Sam Hoger aren't good fighters at all.
I wanna see i good striker vs Rashad "lay and pray" Evans,,,i hate Rashad!!!

Rouben retired to the barn, where Dragomir and Cyril were lying. Dragomir looked in much better shape, Rouben thought as he approached them. He ignored Cyril.
–Why did you come back?– Cyril asked.
–They said it was my turn to sleep.
Though the skin around Rouben's face was sagging and creased, and there was a blue shadow around his jawline, his eyes were, as usual, glittering with manic fire. –Good news,– he said, after a while, and suddenly, as if the thought had just occurred to him. –We're getting aid.–
–From where?!
–Around the world,– replied Rouben arbitrarily. –People have come together, and they sent us some weapons and food today, smuggled into the barricade by one Aleksandr...Aleksandr Alexandrov.–
–What a name,– remarked Dragomir weakly.
–Hold on,– said Cyril. –I've heard of Aleksandr Aleksandrov from somewhere. Oh, yes: he's a famous freelance journalist. He once came to our village to research for an article on rural life in Europe.–
–Then he must be stopped!
–Not so fast,– said Cyril. –He was trying to help you. Don't be paranoid.
–Don't tell me what to do, Cyril,– said Rouben, with real malice in his voice. Dragomir was momentarily glad that he had gotten on the right side of the young man.
–Maybe Cyril's right,– Dragomir tried to mediate. –Maybe he's helping us, and even if he is a traitor,– he added, carefully catching Rouben's eye, –we can still take his aid, even if we refuse him access.–
–What kind of image is that going to bring?– said Cyril hotly. –We already look like militants to the rest of the world, now we're going to look like paranoid militants. Added the weapons: dangerous paranoid militants. And not to mention the fact that...–
–Be quiet, Cyril,– growled Rouben. He went unheard, and Cyril's next words were damning:
–Freedom is an incomprehensible language to slaves, we've all got to remember that. Nobody's going to support us if we haven't got a comprehensible goal.
There was a heart-stopping silence. Dragomir desperately tried to intervene, as Rouben presently looked like he was struggling to resist the urge to grab Dragomir's knife and stab Cyril repeatedly with it.
–Perhaps we ought to tell the vloggers and Aleksandrov all about our cause,– he said hastily.
There was still a silence. –At any rate,– continued Dragomir, feeling as if he was babbling on to himself, –we need to press for a case to free Krasimir, because we need him back.–
It had the desired effect. Rouben stopped staring at Cyril and looked around. –Cyril, if you could go to the barricade and keep watch,– he said. –Dragomir, I hope you're better, I'd like you to help bring in some weapons. I'll be out for a bit.–
He turned and dragged himself towards the communal sleeping-area. Dragomir noticed how his form had aged since he had first met him, on that damp Summer night.

Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
Oxygen desaturations and sleep fragmentations are frequently seen during sleep in OSA. These events provoke heightened sympathetic activity and may impair vascular function. We investigated flow and nitroglycerin-mediated (FMD and NMD, respectively) vascular dilation in middle-aged (<65) and elderly (> 65) patients with moderate to severe OSA.
We recorded polysomnograms from 18 male subjects (mean age = 55 +10.99]) with symptomatic OSA and measured FMD and NMD in brachial artery using high-resolution vascular ultrasound with a 10-MHz linear-array transducer. The right brachial artery diameter (BAD) was measured at baseline, and then a pneumatic tourniquet was placed around the forearm and inflated to a pressure of 200 mm Hg for 5 minutes. BAD measurements were repeated at 15 seconds, then at every minute for 5 minutes following cuff deflation and following administration of 0.4 mg of sublingual NTG. The FMD was expressed as a percentage change of diameter after reactive hyperemia relative to the baseline scan. Likewise, the NMD was expressed as a percentage change of diameter after NTG administration relative to the baseline scan.
Mean [SD] ESS was 14 [7], mean [SD] AI and AHI were 30[34] and 50 [33] respectively, and lowest and mean O2 saturations were 75% [22%] and 93%[3%] respectively. Brachial artery diameter (mm) at baseline, 1 minute post hyperemia, and 3 minutes post NTG were 0.45 [0.09], 0.48 [0.06], and 0.49 [0.05] mm. Baseline and post NTG diameters were significantly different (p < 0.01). The FMD and NMD were 1% [2%] and 11% [3%], respectively (p< 0.001). Our study did not have enough power to detect any difference in FMD and NMD in elderly versus middle-aged adults.
Endothelial dependent vascular function is impaired in subjects with moderate to severe OSA. Further studies will evaluate the effect of therapeutic intervention to determine if this is a reversible alteration in vascular function.
Restoration of endothelial dependent vascular function may be useful in evaluation obstructive sleep apnea treatment.

SUBMITTED: Monday, November 24, 2014POSTED: Monday, November 24, 2014
considering that I was owed $30,000 in 1989, and in 2012 I was still owed the same $30,000 just goes to show that these agencies are not about supporting the children. employees refuse to do their jobs, (if I didn't do my job I wouldn't have a job) and just fake it for 20 years then we pay for the for the rest of their life.
my ex and his "attorney" discovered that the only thing that can't be garnished for child support is disability, so ex is now on disability. so now dr is also involved in the fraud and coverups of this worthless deadbeat piece of crap.
why can gov't employees refuse to do their jobs? this disgusts me. I also gave up after dealing with this crap for so long. I knew more about the law and their jobs than the friends of the court did. that is exactly what they are: friends of the court
didn't the judge take an oath to uphold the law? didn't these attorneys take an oath to uphold the law? how do these people sleep at night? just figure they won't get caught and can keep on padding thier own pockets. they should all be in jail for fraud. no one is overseeing these agencies and they all need to be audited. maybe ogemaw county would like to pay me the $300,000 i am owed plus interest and penalties from 2000 when they took over "enforcement" of my case. maybe that would make them do their jobs or maybe the friend of the court can pay me from their own personal bank accounts or sit in jail!!!!

#2 General Comment
$30,000 in arrearages qualifies for a felony child support warrant!
SUBMITTED: Sunday, November 23, 2014POSTED: Sunday, November 23, 2014
Unfortunately, you are not alone in this. Ogemaw County Friend of the Court picks and chooses who they want to enforce these orders on and who they want to leave alone. I know some in that very same county that Ogemaw FOC goes after every chance they get to put them in jail and for a lot less than $30,000. Tonya, Sara and the rest of them set their sites on certain people and when they do, they will have these people picked up for arrearages and the very day that they are allowed by law to set another warrant up for their arrest after they are released from jail...look out. They have some payers that they know for a fact make good money, but when those individuals have cases brought up to set child support amounts, these people will claim they only make a few dollars a week because of being "self-employed' and such and hide assests, then the minute an rock bottom amount of child support is set based on supposed low-income, these same people crying too broke to pay a decent amount of child support suddenly have the financial means to build nice, large, brand new houses. It's called the name game. If your name is well known or the above people know you and you hang out with them or close family members or friends of theirs, you're not going to be held to the same standards and not be hounded and jailed for arrearages every time you turn around.
As far as the $30,000 owed to you, I was owed a lot more and just finally gave up. Oh believe me when I say that they had no problems putting my payer in jail every time he turned around, but it was only because one of the employees handling the case had a bad, bad grudge against him. I will say that you need to contact whoever is the current Michigan Attorney General and ask about having a felony non payment of child support done on your ex. They usually do these ones on those who withhold or fail to pay support and arrearages are over $5000 (not sure on that number or lower) and who has assests that can be seized in order to be auctioned off and monies receieved go towards child support arrearages. Squeaky wheel gets the oil. One employee in the Wayne County Michigan Friend of the Court simply stated "Our case load is so large and cases are so far behind that pretty much the only cases that get anything done abou them are the ones where the payees call up b****ing about it on a daily basis." Sad, but true for most all F.O.C in Michigan. They just don't care of the kids in their state gets supported properly. Good luck

Part FourteenMature
It's back to lunch time, and things have changed.
Heather's hair has been cut short, and hangs above her ears in tight curls.
Her sisters are suddenly the same height she is, and they don't give me dirty looks like they used to.
Trish's group of boys is now short of two people, and her hair is parted so that it completely covers one eye. All of them are unusually silent, just picking at their food and staring at the table.
For once, Trish isn't watching us.
Seb isn't here, and I suspect it's a way of not having to eat lunch.
My three options are provoke Heather, watch Trish's group, or go and find Anna.
The first option is stupid and unpleasant, so that's a no-no.
The third option is out of the question, and I'd feel uncomfortable being the only black kid in a bunch of white people.
It was always going to be option two.
As I look over, Trish leans on her hand and then winces, sucking in a sharp breath through her teeth.
I flick my eyes over to one of the guys, and he nods slightly as if to say 'I'll check', but he looks confused, as though he doesn't know what's wrong with her.
The guy gets up and moves over to her, and she turns her head away from him.
"Beatrice," he warns.
Strange. I always thought Trish was her actual name.
She gives him a steely glare and he kisses his teeth. Then he tilts her face towards him, and her hair falls away to reveal a harsh stain around her eye and on her cheekbone.
He lets go of her and takes a step away.
"For fuck's sake, Beatrice!" he snaps.
One of the other guys leans over. "Dude, what's on with your face?"
"It's nothing," she mutters. All five of them give her looks of disbelief. "Seriously! I... I walked into a wall."
Three of them laugh, and the other grins. "Dipshit."
The original guy put his hands on the table and leans right into her face. He's much bigger than she is.
"Beatrice," he stares at her until she looks at him. "I told you not to talk to him."
"I didn't," she averts her eyes.
"Don't lie to me," his voice is quiet, and slightly scary. She doesn't say anything. "I told you not to see him, Beatrice." Still she says nothing. He bangs his hands on the table. "Beatrice!"
She stands up very quickly. "I said I didn't!" And she walks out.

17:13 24th September 2016
An injury-time header by Christian Benteke saw Palace recover from two goals down with half an hour to play to win 3-2 on an incredible afternoon on Wearside.
Two goals from Jermain Defoe had put David Moyes' Black Cats in firm control, but just 60 seconds after falling two down, Joe Ledley saw a deflected shot creep in, before James McArthur headed in on 75 minutes to level the scores.
Then in the fourth minute of injury-time, Benteke dispatched a header from a free-kick delivery to turn the game on its head, and clinch Palace's third straight league win for the first time since April 2015.
The windy conditions helped produce a scrappy first 10 minutes, but the first opportunities came to Benteke who headed straight at Jordan Pickford from a Joel Ward cross, and then a minute later the Eagles won a corner and Jason Puncheon picked out the Belgian striker, who had time to control the ball on his chest but volleyed wide from the edge of the box.
Palace enjoyed the better of the possession in the opening stages and on 25 minutes a third chance came Benteke's way when Andros Townsend clipped a pass into Puncheon's path, and after scrapping past Lee Cattermole and cutting the ball across the goalmouth, Benteke spun it over the crossbar from close-range.
Sunderland finally registered their first attempt when Patrick van Aanholt sped down the left and whipped a delivery into Defoe who produced an inventive flick to divert it goalwards, and despite Steve Mandanda scrambling across his line the ball flashed just wide of the far post.
Despite that scare the Eagles continued to remain on top of proceedings and Benteke scuffed a shot at Pickford and Yohan Cabaye saw an audacious half-volley arc wide, but one error proved costly as Palace handed Sunderland the chance to take the lead on 39 minutes.
Mandanda played the ball out to Ledley, who under pressure turned to pass back to one of his centre-backs, however the wayward execution was seized upon by Defoe who held off James Tomkins to tuck the ball past the Palace keeper, and despite him getting a touch it trickled into the bottom corner for the game's opening goal.
Alan Pardew's men had three opportunities to pull level before the break, but couldn't quite find an equaliser to take into half-time. Once again a Puncheon corner caused problems and a fully-stretched Damien Delaney couldn't quite turn in Benteke's cushioned header, then Townsend saw a 30-yard free-kick drift wide before Cabaye had a shot blocked after taking up a dangerous position inside the box.
Continuing in the same vein after the restart, Palace nearly made a swift 3 v 2 counter-attack pay off when James McArthur, Cabaye and Puncheon raced away and carved out an opportunity for the winger who forced Pickford beat the shot away from his top corner, but on the hour mark Defoe notched his second.
Adnan Januzaj was allowed to cut inside from the right and find the striker, who blasted at Mandanda who pulled off a great save, however the attack was recycled and Duncan Watmore's low centre fell again for the marksman who once again displayed his predatory instincts to fire home.
But the two goal advantage lasted just 60 seconds when Palace found a strike of their own. A long diagonal pass by Delaney was chested into Ledley's path by McArthur, and the Welshman made amends for his earlier error when his drive deflected off van Aanholt and end up in the net as the south Londoners re-established a foothold in the game.
Defoe nearly completed his hat-trick on 69 minutes when Januzaj and Watmore handed the former England striker a sight of goal but he blasted it over, but on 75 minutes the Eagles completed the comeback.
Seconds after coming on as a substitute, Zeki Fryers jinked past his man and whipped a fantastic cross into the box which was just begging for a Palace player to head into the net, and McArthur was on hand to do just that and make it 2-2.
Pardew's players bombed forward searching for a winner and Townsend nearly got it when he cut inside from the right and bent a shot towards the bottom corner but it was fractions wide of the target, but just as the game looked to be heading for a draw, the Eagles won a free-kick by the corner flag in the final of four additional minutes when Wickham was fouled.
Once again, a fresh replacement took it and Chung-yong Lee's clipped ball was met by the head of Benteke, and this time he made no mistake as he buried it past the despairing dive of Pickford and complete an incredible comeback.

But Grandmere's got a wacky scheme to raise the money, catapult Mia to theatrical fame, and link her romantically with an eligible teen bachelor who's not her boyfriend. No wonder Michael seems to think she's a psycho, or worse: not much fun. Is it possible that Mia, soon-to-be star of the stage, president of the student body, and future ruler of Genovia, doesn't know how to party?

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Josh HarkinsonJan. 11, 2011 7:00 AM
Glock's "superior firepower" clipThe Tucson shooter's killing frenzy finally came to an end on Saturday after he allegedly emptied his semi-automatic Glock handgun of its 31 bullets. According to witness reports, as he was changing the clip, a wounded woman tried to grab the gun from him. His next shot jammed before two men wrestled him to the ground.
Before 2004, when the Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired, the shooter never would have been able to get off so many shots before pausing to reload. The ban, enacted in 1994 in the wake of mass killings in San Francisco and Waco, limited gun magazines to a maximum of ten rounds. Assuming that the shooter would've achieved the same hit ratio with the smaller clip, he would have shot six people and maybe killed one or two instead of shooting 20 and killing half a dozen.
"If he was restricted to a 10-round magazine, lives could have been saved," says Daniel Vice, a senior attorney with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. According to a 2004 study (PDF) by the University of Pennsylvania's Jerry Lee Center of Criminology, "attacks with semiautomatics—including assault weapons and other semiautomatics equipped with large capacity magazines—result in more shots fired, more persons hit, and more wounds inflicted per victim than to attacks with other firearms."
The Brady Campaign is supporting a new bill by Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) that would renew the Assault Weapons Ban, a Democratic priority that the Obama administration had essentially abandoned.
Of course, a renewed ban will do little to get rid of the thousands of high-capacity clips already in circulation. While seven states and the District of Columbia ban clips of the sort Jared Loughner allegedly used, they're widely available in Arizona gun stores and enthusiastically marketed by gun makers. As the Glock website puts it: "Compact and subcompact GLOCK pistol model magazines can be loaded with a convincing number of rounds."

India, a rising power, almost had one (but the Tajiks said no). China, which last year became the world's second largest economy as well as the planet's leading energy consumer, and is expanding abroad like mad (largely via trade and the power of the purse), still has none. The Russians have a few (in Central Asia where "the great game" is ongoing), as do those former colonial powers Great Britain and France, as do certain NATO countries in Afghanistan. Sooner or later, Japan may even have one.
All of them together—and maybe you've already guessed that I'm talking about military bases not on one's own territory—add up to a relatively modest (if unknown) total. The US, on the other hand, has enough bases abroad to sink the world. You almost have the feeling that a single American mega-base like Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan could swallow them all up. It's so large that a special Air Force "team" has to be assigned to it just to deal with the mail arriving every day, 360,000 pounds of it in November 2010 alone. At the same base, the US has just spent $130 million building "a better gas station for aircraft... [a] new refueling system, which features a pair of 1.1-million gallon tanks and two miles of pipes." Imagine that: two miles of pipes, thousands of miles from home—and that's just to scratch the surface of Bagram's enormity.

It's becoming increasingly clear that Jared Lee Loughner appears to be a psychologically unhinged, nihilistic individual with no coherent ideology, whose political views are irrelevant if they can even be articulated. But that hasn't stopped lawmakers—mostly from the left—from denouncing a climate of extremism and calling for a more civil, less partisan atmosphere.
Democrats are now ramping up calls to place restrictions on inflammatory speech. Rep. Bob Brady (D-Pa.) plans to introduce a bill that would curb the use of threatening imagery against legislators and judges, according to the National Journal. Similarly, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.)—the third-ranking Democrat in the House—has called for the return of the Fairness Doctrine, a defunct regulation that requires broadcasters to devote airtime to opposing political views. "Free speech is as free speech does," Clyburn told a local paper. "You cannot yell 'fire' in a crowded theater and call it free speech and some of what I hear, and is being called free speech, is worse than that."
Meanwhile, Rep. Chellie Pingeree (D-Maine) has even called for Republicans to change the name of their health-care repeal bill, currently entitled "the Repeal the Job Killing Health Care Law Act." Pingree explains in the Huffington Post:
Don't get me wrong—I'm not suggesting that the name of that one piece of legislation somehow led to the horror of this weekend—but is it really necessary to put the word "killing" in the title of a major piece of legislation? I don't think that word is in there by accident -- my Republican friends know as well as anyone the power of words to send a message. But in this environment and at this moment in our nation's history, it's not the message we should be sending.

But in this environment and at this moment in our nation's history, it's not the message we should be sending.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, national lawmakers will probably tamp down the tone in Washington: House Republicans have already postponed their vote this week on their health care repeal bill, which was originally scheduled for Wednesday, and lawmakers have called for unity out of respect for the victims. Barring any new evidence that directly links Loughner to any political activism or activities, Democrats will have a tough time pinning the blame on extreme rhetoric. The right has certainly racheted up inflammatory, increasingly militaristic attacks on their opponents, which has stoked Democratic fears about violent retaliation over the last year. But by calling for a free-speech crackdown, Dems may simply be accused of playing politics with a national tragedy.

Spurred on by Saturday's horrific attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), New York Democrat Rep. Carolyn McCarthy has promised to introduce new gun control legislation in the House, reports Politico.
The extended magazine on the Glock 19 Loughner used was illegal under the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. Gun control advocates hope the tragedy might provoke fresh discussion on the ban, and on the ability to buy weapons that appear designed for mass murder. "He had an additional magazine capability. That's not what a hunter needs," Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) told Politico. "That's not what someone needs to defend their home. That's what you use to hunt people." Preventing people with mental health issues from buying guns could also be a focus of the legislation.
McCarthy and her staff hope to bring a bill to the floor as early as Monday that addresses the high-capacity ammunition clips used by alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner (read Nick Baumann's exclusive interview with a close friend of Loughner's here). Pennsylvania Democrat Robert Brady also plans to introduce a bill that would make it a crime to use language or symbols that might be interpreted as a threat to any federal official.
For McCarthy, gun violence is deeply personal: her husband was killed in a 1993 shooting on a Long Island commuter train. Since then, she's been a fierce advocate for gun control. "Again, we need to look at how this is going to work, to protect people, certainly citizens, and we have to look at what I can pass," McCarthy told Politico. "I don't want to give the NRA—excuse the pun—the ammunition to come at me either."
Update: In a statement released on Monday, Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) announced his intention to work with McCarthy on a bill that would prohibit the manufacture and sale of high-capacity ammunition feeding devices like the high-capacity magazine used by Loughner. Lautenberg's bill will ban ammunition clips that have a capacity of, or could be converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunitioin—which, up till 2004, was the law.
"The only reason to have 33 bullets loaded in a handgun is to kill a lot of people very quickly. These high-capacity clips simply should not be on the market," Lautenberg says in the statement. "Before 2004, these ammunition clips were banned, and they must be banned again. When the Senate returns to Washington, I will introduce legislation to prohibit this type of high-capacity clip."

In the aftermath of this weekend's shooting spree in Tucson, Arizona, leaving six dead and Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition, a heap of criticism is being leveled at the right's queen of controversy: Sarah Palin. The former Alaska governor has been blasted for a map on her political action committee's website (since taken down) depicting gunsights over the districts of twenty lawmakers who voted for the health care reform bill. One such gunsight targeted Giffords' district in southern Arizona. The former Alaska governor is also taking heat for past rhetoric like "you didn't retreat, you reloaded," a line she deployed at a Tea Party rally last fall.
On Monday morning, neocon Bill Kristol rushed to Palin's defense and ripped her critics. Kristol, who edits the conservative Weekly Standard magazine, said on C-SPAN that Palin's critics were guilty of "McCarthyism," adding, "The attempt to exploit this tragedy is distasteful." Kristol's full-throated defense of Palin joins that of her aides, who have vehemently denied any link between the Tucson shooting, carried out by a disgruntled, if not mentally unstable, 22-year-old Arizona resident named Jared Lee Loughner. Palin aide Rebecca Mansour told a radio host that attempts to tie Palin to shootings were "obscene" and "appalling." Mansour went on, "I never went out and blamed Al Gore or any environmentalist for the crazy insane person who went to shoot up the Discovery Channel."
But it's the kind of incendiary rhetoric that Palin has used in the past that's being partly blamed for Loughner's attack. In an interview with MoJo's Suzy Khimm, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) blamed the fiery rhetoric and polarization that defines American politics today. "[When] you stoke these flames, and you go to public meetings and you scream at the elected officials, you threaten them—you make us expendable, you make us part of the cannon fodder," he said. "For a while, you've been feeding this hatred, this division...you feed it, you encourage it."
On Sunday, the Justice Department filed charges against Loughner for murder and attempted murder of federal employees. Loughner is scheduled to appear in court today, but is reportedly not cooperating with law enforcement officials.

I landed an exclusive interview with Bryce Tierney, a close friend of Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged gunman in the massacre in Tucson Saturday that killed six people, wounded 14, and left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the reported target, fighting for her life. In the interview, Tierney talks about his relationship with Loughner, why he thinks his friend might have targeted Giffords, and what Loughner said in a previously unreported 2:00 a.m. voicemail he left for Tierney.

In the wake of the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and the shooting of more than 20 others in Tucson today, fellow Arizona Democrat Rep. Raul Grijalva denounced a political environment poisoned by "anger, hatred, and division." In a phone interview with Mother Jones, Grijalva called the assault "horrible and unbelievable and shocking….It's hard to explain and really difficult to comprehend." Grijalva—who was also the recent target of violent threats—went on to blame the polarized political climate for creating an atmosphere that fueled violence:
We never entered [politics] believing that we were taking our lives in our hands...we're feeding anger, hatred, and division for quite a while. Maybe it is time for elected officials and leaders in this country that have been feeding that disease to realize that there are consequences to it. I hope people stop and think that we can be opponents, but we don't have to be deadly enemies…to demonize another person because of a disagreement and to make them expendible is not a democracy, it's not the America I know.

Asked whether the tea party right deserved to be singled out for particular blame, Grijalva assented:
[When] you stoke these flames, and you go to public meetings and you scream at the elected officials, you threaten them—you make us expendable you make us part of the cannon fodder. For a while, you've been feeding this hatred, this division…you feed it, you encourage it….Something's going to happen. People are feeding this monster….Some of the extreme right wing has made demonization of elected officials their priority.

People are feeding this monster….Some of the extreme right wing has made demonization of elected officials their priority.
A number of prominent left-wing blogs, including Daily Kos and FireDogLake, also blamed Sarah Palin for fanning the flames by placing Giffords—along with other vulnerable Democratic members of Congress—literally in the crosshairs on a map during the midterm elections. Grijalva said that the Palin "apparatus" shares responsibility for creating a climate of extremism. "Both Gabby and I were targeted in the apparatus in that cycle [saying] these people are 'enemies.'" He concluded: "The Palin express better look at their tone and their tenor."

Jared Lee Loughner, arrested in connection with the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and more than 20 others in Tucson, posted a series of often inscrutable YouTube videos outlining his philosophy. One video, posted in December, discusses, in a rather incoherent manner, the "new currency." Currency has been a staple issue of the Nativist right; its members fear that the shift from the gold standard to the Federal Reserve system (and the printing of paper money) has imperiled the country. The issue has lately been taken up by some within the tea party who have warned of the supposed dangers of printing money; some have even suggested using an alternative currency of silver and gold.
Concerns about currency stretch from extreme conspiracy theorists to traditional libertarians. For example, libertarian Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) has often warned against paper money, advocating a return to the gold standard. (Some Paul supporters have worried that Loughner's currency ramblings would unfairly tarnish them. "That [Loughner] was for gold and silver backed currency can only mean bad things for us," a commenter on RonPaulForums.com wrote today.)
In an online posting accompanying one of his videos, Loughner refers repeatedly to Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution, which states that "No State shall...make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts."
Loughner writes: "What is section 10 you ask? If you make a purchase then it's illegal under section 10 and amendment 1 of the United States constitution. You make a purchase. Therefore, it's illegal under section 10 and amendment 1 of the United States constitution." He also states: "Top secret: Why don't people control the money system? Their Current Currency(1/1) / Your new infinite currency (1/~infinte) This is a selcte information of revoluntary thoughts!"
The fears of paper currency and the Fed also are shared by anti-Semites who maintain that Jews control the Federal Reserve system and are working behind the scenes to destroy the true American Republic. So at this early stage of the shooting investigation, it's worth noting that Giffords is the first Jewish member of Congress in Arizona's history. Loughner, in an online posting, described Mein Kampf as one of his favorite books. Still, there's no telling yet precisely where Loughner resides on the extremist landscape.
