basE91 is an advanced method for encoding binary data as ASCII characters. It is similar to UUencode or base64, but is more efficient. The overhead produced by basE91 depends on the input data. It amounts at most to 23% (versus 33% for base64) and can range down to 14%, which typically occurs on 0-byte blocks. This makes basE91 very useful for transferring larger files over binary unsafe connections like e-mail or terminal lines.

Dim is a utility to help you track the changes of items (sets composed of multiple files). It provides commands to handle the complete lifecycle of version control operations: create a library, register users (code authors), create items, save local versions, branch, clone, export, import, remove, merge, archive, replicate library content over the network or the filesystem, and access the full history and browse differences at the library, item, file, line, or word level. Dim is a single self-documented POSIX shell script. It just uses standard Unix utilities like awk, diff, tar, and openssl.

Travel insurance is one of the requirements for getting a Schengen visa and I'm often asked about it. I've fortunately never had reason to use the insurance so I can't speak to ease of filing claims, and I also can't compare the different Schengen-approved insurance companies, but just in terms of how easy it is to buy a policy, I would recommend Blue Cross.
Here's how to get Blue Cross travel insurance
- Go to the Blue Cross website. Click the BUY NOW button.
- Fill in the necessary information about your trip. At the bottom of this page, you can choose among the available plans and payment currency options. (See sample prices for various itineraries HERE.)
- Wait a short while for your information to be validated.
- Enter your personal information.
- You will then be taken to a payment page where you can pay for your policy by credit card. Shortly after payment, you will receive your insurance documents via email. Print the Official Confirmation of Coverage (OCC) and Travel Insurance Contract (TACTIC) for your Schengen visa application and/or when you go on your trip.
Schedule of Benefits
Here's a bit more detail regarding the benefits under the various Blue Cross plans. (For our Schengen visa application, we got the Prestige Euro Plan.) See sample prices for various itineraries HERE.

Wireless surveillance network for Arizona airport
: 11 September, 2008
(Application Story)
Multi-functional wireless network to serve access control and surveillance requirements at busy US airport
Airport officials at Page Municipal Airport and police in Page, Arizona can now respond quicker to potential emergencies by viewing live video from cameras located throughout the airport and by accessing police records from remote locations. Durham Communications, provider of public safety communications systems, and Firetide, a developer of wireless mesh and access networks, deployed a wireless mesh network that supports video surveillance, access control and a connection to the central command center for remote police officers. The new wireless network will help city officials keep airport assets and over 60,000 tourists who are expected to travel through the airport this year safe.
With roughly 10,000 residents and beautiful views of Lake Powel and near-by canyons, the City of Page routinely handles large influxes of tourists through the city airport. This summer vacation season, the city expects 15 percent more tourists than last year. City officials turned to a wireless mesh network to give police and airport employees tools to increase presence, improve response time and deter crime related to large crowds.
"When the airport was awarded a grant to improve and maintain the facilities, it was a logical choice to build a wireless infrastructure in order to give our police and airport staff new tools to increase public safety," said Michael Bergner, information technology manager for the City of Page. "We were already considering Firetide mesh to provide data connectivity for city workers, and when Durham Communications chose Firetide to power video surveillance, it was a clear decision."
Airport officials are able to view live footage from 15 surveillance cameras placed at high-traffic areas within the airport. Video is streamed in real-time to operations centers in both the airport and the police station roughly 1.5 miles away, where police are able to view the live footage and respond quickly to potentially harmful situations. Police also have access to the wireless data network, allowing them to securely access city records from remote locations. Page city officials are considering extending the mesh network for monitoring water and wastewater plants, as well as aiding covert police work.
"Had we gone with a fibre-based solution, the cost of trenching and installing the network would have been at least five times as much," said Jim Garrett, account manager for Durham Communications. "We accomplished this by eliminating the tedious and expensive process of traditional trenching, conduit, and data line installation. Not only are the cost savings significant but the time savings are equally impressive. Traditional trenching can take up to 10 times as long compared to Firetide's wireless solution."
Firetide HotPort wireless nodes stream video footage from surveillance cameras to command centers in the airport and in the Page Police Department. Video footage is stored for 30 days at the airport for later review before being transferred to CDs for permanent archival if needed. The wireless network is connected to the city-owned-and-operated network, allowing police officials to access city records from remote locations. An additional wireless mesh network supports an application that grants card access to four gates at the airport - two for vehicle access and two for airport personnel access.
"Wireless mesh is gaining momentum as large and small municipalities discover it as a secure and affordable infrastructure for video surveillance, first responder communications and other municipal services," said Bo Larsson, chief executive officer of Firetide. "Supporting multiple applications in situations where reliability and flexibility are paramount is where Firetide's mesh networks thrive."

Just how lupines draw water approaching their roots in soil has now for the first time been observed in three dimensions by a University of Potsdam team at the HZB-BER II neutron source in Berlin.
The correlation between spot welding and residual stress in boron steel was experimentally determined for the first time with neutron diffraction experiments conducted at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL).
Scientists from EPFL and PSI have shown experimentally, for the first time, a quantum phase transition in strontium copper borate.
Thanks to a new material developed by researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and Empa, electrolysers are likely to become cheaper and more efficient in the future.
Recently, Michael Laaß could clarify the possible function of an enigmatic impression in the braincase of the forerunners of mammals by means of neutron tomography at the instrument ANTARES of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum.
In 1999, PSI researchers founded the spin-off firm SwissNeutronics. Today the company sells high-precision components to research institutions all over the world.

According to research and consulting firm GlobalData, global carbon emissions produced by energy production were steady in 2015 and posted the lowest growth in the past 25 years excluding 2009, when there was a decline in the aftermath of the economic crisis.
The company's latest report states that this stall in global carbon emissions can be attributed to a slowdown in demand for power and a shift in fuel mix from coal to low carbon fuels such as natural gas.
Ankit Mathur, GlobalData's Practice Head covering Power, explains: "Global installed power capacity reached 6,241 Gigawatts (GW) in 2015 from just over 5,000 GW in 2010, increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. Currently, the global power industry is characterised by heavy dependence on thermal fuel sources for power generation, as several major power-generating countries have abundant coal reserves."
Although thermal power will remain a dominant feature in the global power market for the foreseeable future, the share of thermal power in the overall installed power capacity will witness a declining long-term trend. The share of thermal power is expected to fall from its current level of 62.6% to 53.6% by 2025.

Market uptake for clean coal technology is expected to increase in the coming decade as countries such as China and the US are adopting it to improve efficiency and reduce emissions
Mathur continues: "Market uptake for clean coal technology is expected to increase in the coming decade as countries such as China and the US are adopting it to improve efficiency and reduce emissions in comparison to conventional coal-fired plants. The outlook for conventional power in the US looks positive with the change in regime as the new government is considered to be pro oil and gas.
"Countries which have abundant coal reserves, such as the US, China, Japan, Russia, and India, are developing coal power plants, whereas those dependent on imported coal are curbing their imports to reduce emissions."
In terms of renewable power, installed capacity other than hydro increased from 321.6 GW in 2010 to 787.5 GW in 2015 at a CAGR of 19.6%, and it is expected that this will reach 2,150 GW by 2025. Indeed, renewables now present a credible challenge to fossil fuels in terms of global investments and remain the fastest growing market segment. The share of renewables in global installed power capacity increased from 4.6% in 2010 to 12.6% in 2015, and is expected to reach 23% by 2025.

The experiences of TV's Basil Fawlty don't seem to have dented the ambitions of Britain's would-be hoteliers. A total of nearly 34,500 bed and breakfasts and guesthouses in England alone shows how many of us see this as a lucrative trade.
But before you rush to the estate agent to investigate buying that charming five-bedroom property overlooking the sea, lake or moor, be warned that you may face an unexpected problem: parking spaces.
Minimum standards for parking spaces were laid down in 1998, which required developers planning new businesses offering tourist accommodation to provide at least one space for each guest bedroom.
For anyone planning to buy or build a large property, this could make development difficult and costly. Cars take up a lot of room, and providing parking space for several vehicles is not feasible for any property without a fair patch of spare land.
In 2000, the Government's planning policy guidance note 13 (PPG13) imposed maximum standards for parking facilities across a range of business developments. This means that businesses are no longer required to provide a minimum number of spaces. In effect they don't have to have any at all.
These newer maximum standards were introduced primarily to encourage business development in town centres, where parking space is at a premium. The bad news, however, is that maximum parking standards do not apply to B&Bs, guesthouses and small hotels.
'We are trying to get rid of minimum standards for parking spaces for all types of business,' says Christian Cubitt of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, 'and PPG13 does state that minimum parking standards should not be imposed as a matter of course.'
But it also says local planning authorities should 'use their discretion in setting the levels of parking appropriate for small developments so as to reflect local circumstances'.
In other words, despite a national government policy to do away with minimum parking standards, it's the local council that gets to say yea or nay to your planning application. So far, so hazy.
It's not a strict rule covering all cases, either. In towns and cities, for example, the maximum standards are as likely to apply to B&Bs and guesthouses as they are to blocks of flats.
In the countryside, where space is more available, a local authority could well make the requirements more rigorous. According to David Higgins of Norfolk County Council, his bosses could turn down an application to allow a house to be used as a B&B without parking if road safety was deemed to be a problem.
'Car parking standards already state that we can't insist on a minimum number of spaces,' Higgins says, 'so we would have to prove that the level of on-street parking constituted a safety hazard for local residents.'
This, however, doesn't appear to be the message communicated to people who want to develop B&Bs. One woman with ambitions to go into the business was so put off by this problem that she dropped her plans to buy a B&B on the Norfolk coast.
'Apparently local residents had nowhere to park their cars because so many people were turning their homes into B&Bs whose guests had to park on the street,' says Pauline Greenwood.
'Very few of the existing B&Bs had a minimum of one space per bedroom for their premises and I was told that if people complain about it, the council has the right to shut the B&B down.
'But lots of the people I spoke to who were already running B&Bs weren't even aware that this ruling exists.'
This lack of awareness is not surprising given that many of the businesses pre-date the 1998 standards, and changes in planning regulations are rarely applied retrospectively unless they involve fire safety rules.
The idea that the council could close an existing B&B for not providing parking is extremely unlikely, says an official at King's Lynn and West Norfolk Council.
'If local residents were unhappy with parking conditions, clearly we would have to look at ways to resolve the situation,' the official added.
'But the idea that we would shut a business just because someone complained is clearly not accurate.'

Weekend Hang Gliding Accident in Florida Kills One
One person was killed in a hang gliding accident in Florida.
Details about the Fatal Hang Gliding Accident
WFLA News is reporting that, even though the weather was clear and calm, something went terribly wrong during a hang gliding activity that was taking place in Groveland, Florida.
On person was killed as a result of the accident at the Small Sheets Airfield at about 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board have indicated that a tow rope on the hang glider broke when the glider was in flight, which caused the hang glider to crash.
When emergency first responders arrived at the scene of the accident, they found the victim suffering from a heart attack. The victim was pronounced dead a short time after the accident. The accident that happened over the weekend is the second accident to happen in the area in the last three or four years.
Important Information about Hang Gliding Accidents
According to Health Research Funding, there are very few wrongful deaths of people involved in hang gliding accidents every year in the United States:
- Since 1981, there has not been a year in which more than 20 hang gliding fatalities were recorded in the United States.
- On average, the statistics for skydiving are about the same as they are for hang gliding.
- The average hang gliding fatality rate is one fatality for every 560 flights.

Skateboards are very big in the applesauce pouch battlefront of the food industry. This is the third brand to feature an apple riding a skateboard. First there was Tree Top and Go Go Squeeze. The brass at Safeway has decided they liked the name Go Go Squeeze, so when it came time to copy them, they just changed the order of the words to Squeeze & Go. In what must be a major food science breakthrough, they made them with real fruit too.

About MeMy name is Erika Chandler. i am 19 years old. currently i work in a call center. Modeling is just something i like to do. I have always been interested in becoming a model even though i was always told models are tall with long legs and im only a little over five foot i wont let that keep me down though and i would love to pursue this as a career. I currently model for LAPD Photography. I have been told I have the innocent sweet girl-next-door look so I embrace it and use it to my advantage. I am looking to do some edgy(NON-NUDE) stuff that will let people know that I am serious about my modeling. Hope to actually have some assignments that are paying but if not I'm always looking for great shoots to improve my portfolio. Feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are in the area and want to do a shoot. I can travel but not too far from the area. If your looking for some new places to shoot my area has plenty to offer.

Black and Decker makes a wide variety of power tools and battery-powered tools, including drills, screwdrivers and saws. The rotary tool available from Black and Decker is actually from a sub brand of Black and Decker known as RTX. This RTX brand is the only rotary tool sold by Black and Decker. With a three-speed, high-torque motor and available accessories, it becomes a versatile tool for cutting, sanding, engraving, grinding, sharpening and polishing.
This rotary tool from Black and Decker is light and small, but not too small to make it difficult to use. A five-piece accessory kit, a wrench, and a storage bag come with the tool. Rubber grips on the tool make for a comfortable fit in your hand while working with it. The universal collet system accepts standard rotary tool accessories. This means you can use accessories from other rotary tools as well. Along with the universal collet system, the RXT rotary tool is equipped with a Flip-Lock Spindle locking system making it easier to change accessories. Flip it open to lock the shaft, change accessories and flip it closed. Rotary tools without this feature require the operator to hold down a shaft-lock button while changing accessories.
The RTX-6 is equipped with the same high torque motor and has all the capabilities of the RTX-B. However, along with everything the RTX-B has, this model comes with two spring-loaded clamps and 30 accessories. Accessory kits of all sizes are available to replace worn accessories or add to existing ones. To broaden the scope of its use, a 64-piece general-purpose starter kit includes accessories for cutting, sharpening, sanding, deburring, polishing, cleaning, shaping wood and removing rust and paint. The 135-piece wood carving accessory kit enables the user to carve sculptures, toys and figurines.
Differing from the RTX-B and the RTX-6, the RTX-1 rotary tool has speeds ranging from 8,000 to 30,000 rotations per minute. It also comes with 55 accessories. Its performance is the same as the other two. However, this model of the rotary tool is for use in countries that use 220-volt electrical outlets.
The VersaPak Wizard cordless rotary tool is no longer in production, but is still in circulation. The VP940 came as a kit that included 63 accessories, a battery and a battery charger. Since it uses standard-size accessories, rotary tool accessories will work. VersaPak batteries and chargers are available where Black and Decker tools are sold and should work in the VP940.
Rotary Saw
Another sub brand of Black and Decker produced a rotary saw. Firestorm manufactured an 18-volt cordless rotary saw that is no longer in production. They are still in circulation and can be purchased as used. However, Black and Decker still has accessories for this tool available on their site.

Reflections on keynote presentation
Colonel Llyod teaches us that always treating slaves with no respect and treating them like non-human is sometimes not right and he takes care of his slaves really well and their all well fed by him. Mr. Gore was a really cruel man and an overseer at the great house farm. He even whipped one of colonel Llyod slaves and then shoot him afterwards, the slaves name was Demby. I'm my opinion I think Colonel Llyod is a better man then Mr.Gore because Mr.Gore would whip his slaves and other slaves that was not his. Colonel Llyod is more of a kind hearted person, he fed his slaves well, even though he puts them out in the fields all day. Frederick spent an entire chapter on each of these men because he's trying to show the difference in these two men and how they treated their slaves.

-He got decent grades in college.
-He has a decent lower management position
-He drives a decent used car

-He had a 4.0 GPA in college.

-He drives a few expensive cars
-Lives in a house in a good neighborhood.

The size of your heart matters more than the size of your dick!
A heart of gold is worth more than a bucket of it
A hot guy is not hot if he has a hot temper
True beauty is in seeing the beauty in others
Love is not just said in words speak your love through your actions
A scale cannot measure your value
Know your worth don't give discounts
Dress attractively but not attracting
People will respect you only once you respect yourself
See your soul when you look in the mirror not just it's case
Rich is a perspective who is rich? He who js satisfied at what he has.
Don't judge people based on where they used to be or are now judge them in the moment
Love theyself
It takes a minute to make someone's day if you like their shirt tell them just might give them strength to keep going
Every soul is a blessing don't judge outer casings

Thank GOD for Dr. Murphy !!!!!!
I have gone to several different doctors to receive my botox injections to stop my hemi-facial spasms.Most I went to one time and never came back because of the side effect associated with improper placement of the injections. Dr. Murphy has given me "peace of mind" once again for the first time in about 15 years !! I also suffered from severe dry left eye, and he closed the tear ducts,so now I don't have to use eye drops in my left eye about 10 times daily anymore !! Besides being competent,he's a great guy...he's the real deal !!!!!

Very Happy Patient
Two years ago I had eyelid surgery, a brow lift and a lower face. Dr. Murphy assured me I would be happy with the results and I have been. The comments I get are most often you look great, or you haven't aged at all, not have you had work done? Two weeks ago I had my lower lids done. Of course, Dr. Murphy was my doctor. I can't believe how fast I am healing. The practice is so very professional. Follow up care by the staff and Dr. Murphy, I know assists in recovery. I highly recommend Him.

Amazing surgeon!
I have searched several years to find a plastic surgeon that I felt comfortable with and that I felt to be the very best in the field of facial cosmetic surgery. I found that in Dr. Murphy! Dr. Murphy is extremely open and friendly, he spent as much time as I needed discussing my case and his talents as a surgeon are phenomenal. He is truly an expert in his field and I consider him an artist in the field of facial surgery/reconstruction. I highly recommend Dr. Murphy!

Dr. Murphy was recommended by a friend for eyelid surgery. From the first consultative visit, through surgery, and the follow-up visits, Dr. Murphy was great! He explained everything thoroughly. On the day of surgery, his staff explained every step of the pre-surgery procedure and post-surgery guidelines. Would highly recommend him!

Cosmetic and reconstruction surgery
Apprehension of the unknown results held me back from cosmetic surgery. However, towards approaching retirement, I needed a treat. A prevailing thought was a desire for a facelift. After seeing the results of Dr. Murphyâs skillful surgery on my husbandâs face, my fear subsided. A gaping facial hole from cancer surgery left my husband depressed. Dr. Murphyâs skillful hands restored not only the face but the value of his confidence. And, here I am two years later with my pride and confidence beaming. I never regretted anything as I was guided through the reassuring moments with the staff and Dr. Murphyâs skill. He personally took his time to meet my every need. Now, my natural rested look generates positive compliments from friends and family. If you are considering a renewal, get an evaluation from Dr. Murphy. For those who have experienced the unfortunate perils of face cancer, I highly recommend Dr. Murphy for those who you love the most.

In honor of the outfield post that I should have done yesterday, here are a couple of deep league outfielders worth talking about today, this fine day.
Mitch Maier, Kansas City (1% owned)
Maier is really most interesting because, with the dearth of options on the deep league waiver wire, he's an everyday layer that doesn't completely suck. He really doesn't have any power, though, as his .092 career ISO suggests. Oh, it might find its way to league average (.147 this year), if only because his minor league slugging numbers were a little better, but it won't ever be on the level that you'd expect from an outfielder. If you're owning him for steals, he did steal 99 in the minor leagues… in 687 games. Since 2005, his full-season high was 16 steals, and his speed scores haven't topped 6.0 at any level since 2006. Maier should be able to put up a decent batting average to pair with his OBP, though. He's walking 10.3% of the time and only striking out 17.9% of the time. His batting average right now is neutral when it comes to batted ball luck (.314 BABIP), and there's a chance he betters that number.
Chris Heisey, Cincinnati (1% owned)
Of these two players, Heisey is the riskier one, yet he also owns the better upside. He's got a tougher playing time situation, since Drew Stubbs was the former center fielder of the future, and Chris Dickerson is finally healthy and played regularly at the end of last year. On the other hand, Stubbs can't stop whiffing, and Dickerson has some problems against left-handers – there is daylight here, and Heisey has started six straight. Heisey has been the beneficiary of some luck (.354 BABIP) and a strikeout rate (27.6%) that could portend a dropping batting average in the future. He had nice batting averages in the minors (.296 career), and his strikeout rates hovered around 15%, so maybe he'll whiff a little bit less in the future to offset the dropping BABIP. The power looks like it will be above-average, as his ISO was close to .200 over the last two years at Double-A and Triple-A. He adds speed to the package, with 88 steals in 476 career minor league games, and a nice 20/20 season on his resume. The riskier pick here will give you better dividends if he can hold on to the job. Total Zone had him as an above-average center fielder in the minor leagues, though – he shouldn't lose the job because of the defense, it seems.

Question: I have been taking care of my Mother since 2004. She has Alzheimer's Disease. I do not currently have a job because I am with her 24 hours a day. Is there any compensation that I could receive for all my time and effort?
Answer: We certainly recognize the value of the time you have put in to taking care of your mother in the years since 2004. While your devotion to your mother is admirable, there unfortunately is no way for you to receive compensation for the time and effort you put in the past. In the elder care context, there are two (2) scenarios that come to mind where is it wise for the senior to make ongoing payments to the caregiving family member and for those payments to be thoroughly documented.
One situation is in the context of an application for Medicaid benefits under Title IX. Under current Medicaid law, when an application is made to the state benefit that agency is obligated to scrutinize the applicant's financial history over the previous five (5) years. When money has been transferred from the senior to a family member, the benefit agencies will have a default assumption that the transfers were uncompensated, meaning the senior did not receive fair market value in return. If that was the case, there may be a Medicaid denial or a burdensome "penalty period" during which the agency will not pay for the urgently needed benefits. In contrast, if it can be demonstrated the senior was in fact paying the family member for providing urgently needed care, then the payments were not gifts and there is no problem with Medicaid eligibility. That can be a way for the caregiver to be paid for their time and efforts in providing for their senior loved one. In this context, payments to the family member can partially be thought of as a "defensive" tactic, to ensure that payments to the family member do not create Medicaid eligibility problems down the road.
When the senior is to make payments to the family member caregiver for care to be provided, it is crucial that the arrangement be formally documented. A document commonly referred to as a "Care Contract" should be prepared and it should spell out all the duties and responsibilities of the caregiver and the amount and terms of the compensation by the senior. While the senior and family members quite understandably are used to dealing with each other in a thoroughly informal manner, it is crucial for them to keep in mind a central goal to document the caregiver / care recipient relationship in a manner that will withstand third party scrutiny by the state's Medicaid agency or other similar third parties. Thus, it is well worth the investment for the family to consult a competent elder law attorney to work with the family to draft the document.
The other situation is when the senior is eligible and applies for benefits through the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). When the VA pays non-service connected benefits to a living veteran or to the living widow or widower of a deceased veteran, that benefit is structured as a reimbursement for recurring medical expenses. When properly documented, payments to a family caregiver will be accepted as recurring medical expense for which a reimbursement may be paid, just like reimbursement for health insurance premiums or similar. So, in that situation the benefit recipient can receive a greater benefit amount and effectively the caregiver is compensated for his or her time.
