BERNARDS TWP. In yet another personnel change for the Planning Board, first alternate Michael Castrilli, who was passed over for a regular membership, resigned at the board's reorganization meeting last Thursday. After voting on the board's officers and professionals for 2001, Castrilli told the board he had a statement. He then handed over a piece of paper and walked off the dais
without further comment. Only when new Board Chairman William Draper spoke did it become clear that C astrilli had resigned.
"Michael, I have certainly appreciated your presence," Draper said. "It's a great loss to the board. You've always been prepared, you've always been level-he aded and you've always provided good guidance to the board."
Castrilli, a resident of Liberty Ridge Road in The Hills development, had been the first alternate since February 1998. Traditionally, first alternates are the first in line to fill vacancies for regular memberships.
But nothing opened up until last Oct. 3 when Richard Tompeck resigned. The Township Committee then left that position vacant. This year, three non-liaison positions were open but the committee gave them all to members of other boards.
Township Committee members Gailanne Barth and Albert LiCata, in separate interviews two weeks ago, said Castrilli was not promoted because his attendance record was hurt by out-of- town business trips.
Castrilli's resignation letter was brief and he did not return a phone message seeking comment. But his friends have said he may have been punished for endorsing Republican Township Committee candidate Catherine McTernan in a letter to The Bernardsville News last May.
McTernan lost the GOP primary to Carolyn Kelly. McTernan's husband, longtime Board Chairman James McTernan, was not reappointed to the board this year even though he said he would have continued to serve if asked.
Castrilli, who formerly lived on King George Road, served on the Pool Commission from 1992 to 1997. He was appointed to the Board of Adjustment in January 1998 but served only one month before he was named to the Planning Board. He was the first resident of The Hills ever to serve on the board.

Overcoming the difficulties of developing and transferring an input-output model for electricity consumption forecasts to the users
This paper relates an ongoing experience of developing and transferring the knowledge required to understand and operate a regionally disaggregated supply and use input-output model. This R&D project is financed by ANEEL, the Brazilian regulatory agency for electricity generation and distribution, and it is conducted in partnership between an electricity utility company, CPFL, and the Department of Economics at the University of São Paulo (FEA/USP) in Brazil. A brief account of the model theoretical structure is provided, from which three major improvements are expected: a) a better impact assessment of structural economic changes on the consumption of electricity; b) analyses tailored to the specific regional boundaries of the CPFL area of operation; and c) the identification of direct and indirect changes on electricity consumption accruing from regional development. In order to establish an in-company team capable of applying the model in response to their day to day managerial demands, a training program was devised in order to make them as familiar as possible with the necessary input-output theoretical background, and also skillful enough so as to efficiently apply the model. The paper relates the challenges that have been found in doing so, which means not only transferring academic knowledge to an audience not familiarized to input-output economics within a time schedule severely constrained by the pressure of daily work, but also to match this knowledge to the company technical interests.

NEX 7 autofocus problem
Hi folks, I'm new to this forum. I got a 7 a few months ago. I love the features, but haven't had it out much due to the weather. Now I'm noticing that in closer shots the focus is not quite right. The area behind the spot I focus on is in focus, but not my exact focus mark. I did a few tests: put it on a tripod and shot the same object using auto focus and manual focus. Tried 2 different lenses in case it was the lens (kit lens and 1018). In all cases the manually focused image was sharper than the auto focus image.
Has anyone else had this problem with the NEX 7? Any suggestions, or should I just take it back as it is still under warranty?
Toronto, Canada
For focusing close up where depth of field is very limited I would utilize the manual focusing option with the DMF and you will be able to see the actual focus and make it spot on and stay away from AF in this situation. Close up portraits wide open with my Sony 50 mm are spot on looking at the eyelashes using this technique where the AF was more of hit and miss. This is something so amazing that DSLR's don't know what they are missing even if they have the clunky live view. I can honestly say coming from a Canon 1DsmkIII where the AF is excellent I seldom use AF on my nex7 because I have my screen set to black and white and focus peaking to yellow and I find it amazing and fast enough except for moving subjects which the NEX isn't known for.
What focus mode are you using (area, spot, etc)?
The focusing issue with the NEX series caused me to sell my old NEX and leave for an SLR, only to come back again due to my love of the small size and incredible capabilities, if only I could get it to focus.
I'd suggest spot focus, and see if that helps. Also as you found out manual focus can be better. Read up on using DMF with peaking and see if that helps too-it's a different way of doing things but works well in the end.
You'll probably work through it. You must have one heck of a camera store that allows returns after 7 months! It's under warranty, but even my local camera shop won't take a return after that long.
I was using the center spot focusing with the focus assist lamp off. My subject was high contrast in daylight, so that shouldn't have been a problem.
Is the focus peaking feature available with autofocus, or only with manual focus?
I shouldn't have said return. I meant I would take it in to have repaired under the warranty.

Your camera is fine, you simply have to realize that you are shooting with CDAF technique, rather than PDAF.
DSLR cameras, using PDAF, can discern which subject is in front of another subject, and then focus on the closest one to you (which is what you want, e.g. a person in front of a building).
But CDAF can only see the point of highest contrast, somewhere within the focus box. Typically, if you have a dark (unlit) subject in front of a (brightly lit) store-front, guess where the camera will focus?
It takes a bit getting used too - but after a while you instinctively know, when the camera locks focus upon the half-press, whether the focus is where you want it to be or not. In cases where you need to verify, use DMF and confirm focus.
The Nex-6 changes the focusing experience, as it is able to see distances, and, like a DSRL, the camera will focus on the nearest object, as long as apertures are wider than f/6.3.
With CDAF, most of us prefer the center-focus point, and aim the camera to where you want the focus to be, then half-press (confirm and lock focus), and either use DMF to confirm, or use reframe -and-shoot to complete the picture.
With PDAF, on the Nex-6, the experience is much more DSLR like - accuracy wise, not speed wise - just leave it in multi-focus, and keep the closest object in the center third portion of the frame. It will receive the focus point.
Focus peaking is not available in pure AF mode (I think) - use DMF or MF instead.
I appreciate your advice, but it's not a problem of the camera choosing the wrong spot to focus on. I tested the camera with various subjects using center point auto focus and found the focus was a bit off. Then I tried shooting an almost flat panel on the wall. I did this with 2 different lenses at 2 different focal lengths each. The camera was on a tripod. The results were always the same. Below are 100% crops of the exact centers of one pair of images. This entire area would have been within the center focusing area when using autofocus. I'm sure the black numbers on white keys would have provided sufficient contrast for proper focus. As you can see, the autofocus image is a little soft.
I also have a NEX F3. I tried the exact same test with that camera and found no difference between the autofocus shots and the manual focus shots.
Toronto, Canada
Peaking is not available in simple AF but does work in DMF. In this mode the camera performs AF & then disengages the focus mechanism to allow manual focus. Usually focus is generally correct without further action but does allow fine tuning if this is required. The camera however can get confused when the subject is low contrast & the background is of greater contrast & this is where DMF becomes particularly useful.
DMF may be needed in close-ups where a specific part of a subject is required to be sharp , in an example already given perhaps the eyes are the specific area for focus. When DMF is selected with magnification this kicks in as the focus ring is turned , usually it needs adjusting around the already selected focus point , watch as focus improves or falls off until focus is optimal.
DMF requires some practice in handling the camera without shake etc & also good eyesight particularly in low light but success gets better over time. Peaking colours are weaker when in the magnified mode on close-ups but sometimes small flashes of colour can be seen & as focus moves they appear & disappear & need to be concentrated on.
Keith C
I attempted to edit my last post having seen your last comments but ran out of time
In your example the manual focus is indeed better but we are seeing a crop not the whole frame which may reveal why the camera chose a different focus point ?
I suppose that when judging optimal focus the motors may delay in shutting off sufficiently to allow an overshoot but when there is some doubt usually the lens hunts back & forth before finally settling on a focus point although this tendency varies between different lenses.
This is definitely an area where DMF comes into its own.
PS - I assume that when using the tripod OSS is switched off ?
Keith C
Thank you. I do appreciate the advice. I take it nobody thinks that my camera is faulty? Here again are sample shots:
It seems to me that the camera should focus more accurately with such a simple, contrasty subject. I understand that I can use manual focus, but should I have to? The NEX 7 is a relatively expensive camera and I'm surprised if this is acceptable.
Toronto, Canada
Looking at your image, just above the number pad is a large black area that I would guess slightly forward of the numbers you wanted the camera to focus on. It's a great big high contrast target that the CDAF system might prefer to acquire.
Instead of using center focus, how about doing the same with the flexible focus spot? I believe it's more precise, and you can use it just like center focus simply by not moving it.
I've no complaints about AF precision using this focus mode (and I am fussy about focus).
"The only thing that gets in the way of a really good photograph, is the camera"
Norman Parkinson
The posted image is not large enough to judge whether any part of the image is better focused than the numbers on the keypad.
At F4.0 the DOF is quite wide at a FL of 18mm but critical focus still varies within the 'acceptable' zone of focus & the camera does not 'know' that you want the numbers to be the best point of focus.
Is any part of that image better focused than the numbers ? As has been said it is better to use the spot focus mode rather than centre focus but using DMF will be better still.
How many shots did you take using AF , the NEX 7 has a high resolution sensor & even a small amount of camera shake can cause micro-blurring which becomes evident on high magnification ?
Keith C
What is OSS?
Toronto, Canada
I must apologize for my terminology. I was using flexible spot focus with it set at the center point. I always use that too as I expect it to be more precise. The spot was directly over the keypad, however no part of the autofocused image is as sharp as the manually focused image. Not the dark area (which has small numbers on it too) or the wall behind it.
Toronto, Canada
Yes, DOF should have allowed for the entire image to be in focus. And the entire manually focused shot was in focus, from the detail of the paint on the wall to the edge of the panel which projects less than an inch from the wall.
I did this test 4 times with the NEX 7: 2 times with each of 2 different lenses. Then I repeated it 4 times with the same 2 lenses on my NEX F3. All the F3 shots were sharp. All 4 manually focused NEX 7 shots were sharp. All 4 autofocus NEX 7 shots were slightly off.
Toronto, Canada
Ahhh, it's "optical steady shot". I'm coming from a Nikon system and the terminology is different. I looked for this when I got the camera. I did not see any menu item referring to OSS, and had pretty much concluded that it was an automatic feature with no on/off. Now you've got me to go back and look again and I find something called steady shot. I take it that turns the OSS on/off? Yes, I had it turned on.
Toronto, Canada
Wow! Thank you Kent. I tried my test again with OSS turned off and now there is hardly any difference between autofocus and manual focus images. Thank you for continuing to assume I was doing something wrong, even though I couldn't see it. I'm still puzzled -- why does this make a difference?
Toronto, Canada
There are a few things to consider when using stabilization (Steady shot) systems...that could be causing your issues.
First off, it is always advisable to turn OFF any form of stabilization when shooting from a tripod or a level surface. Stabilization systems are reacting to perceived motion by countering that motion to achieve a neutral status - but it relies on the camera being in free motion - the floating lens assembly system or sensor (depending on the type of stabilization) counters any motion the camera body makes. When on a tripod, the action of the focus assembly moving, or the shutter triggering, can be perceived as movement to the stabilization system, especially because the body is fixed to a hard point and therefore any minor movements are reverberated through the body - the 'counter' movement it creates therefore isn't actually countering anything, but in fact can actually cause motion blur. Note it won't always happen - some folks have shot with stabilization on from a tripod and nothing happened - but it's not always going to be the case, and you're better off and safer turning it off. The higher-res sensor of the NEX7 might have been more sensitive to finer movement, or you were just particularly more unlucky!
Secondly, stabilization systems can usually counter any movement, but that doesn't make them foolproof - you can move too much, beyond what they can correct, or you also can occasionally shoot 'in between' stabilized counter movements, still resulting in occasionally blurred shots. Often this will be very small motion blur, the sort that will look like OOF similar to what you are seeing. It's usually best to half-press to acquire focus and trigger the stabilization system, then shoot fairly quickly after - the longer you hold at half-press the more the stabilization has to keep working to counter any movement.
It might be worth doing a series of tests, with stabilization on and off, handheld, and see if when stabilization is turned on, no matter the shutter speed, you are having issues with sharpness or minor blur. Also, try a few different stabilized lenses if you have others. That way, you can eliminate any potential stabilization system problems with the lens, or confirm it. Either way, your camera is not the likely culprit, but the lens itself, since that's where the stabilization resides. It's more likely one of the first two scenarios above, but if it turns out to be a problem with the stabilization system, you might be able to send the lens in for repair or warranty replacement.
galleries: www.pbase.com/zackiedawg
The problem with image stabilization when the camera is held steady on a tripod is that any slight vibration which is too regular can cause feedback & resonance which affects the IS mechanism which is designed to cancel larger & more erratic movement.
Such vibration is likely to be generated by the camera itself when the shutter is fired & being held rigid on the tripod this vibration feeds back into the camera body & is enough to cause micro-blurring.

On Ryan Lochte and pitchforks vs. tissues.
Posted: August 26th, 2016 under sports.
This is not a post defending Ryan Lochte. This is a post to make you think about how you think about Ryan Lochte.
I will be the first to admit that I have always had a soft spot for Ryan Lochte. Like dozens of people, I watched his reality show when it was on. He has that kind of oaf-ey jock charm that I was susceptible to in high school and the first half of college, so there's some nostalgia there. By most accounts, he's a good guy and, undeniably, a spectacular athlete.
I have made a living, in different capacities, talking to famous people and about famous people. Being six inches away from someone — anyone — and having a conversation can be a humanizing experience.
Which is why I find the public indictment of Lochte and the non-robbery/over-exaggeration/lying/international incident that happened in Rio so troubling. When news came out that he lied about whatever went down — and if you read some reporting by USA Today, it's still kind of unclear — the character assassination by the court of public opinion was immediate and unrelenting, as most character assassinations are of people who were once held in high regard and suffer the grave misfortune of revealing their mere mortal status. The ugly moments we've all had, his made uglier because he (I'm going to guess unwittingly and perhaps while still slightly intoxicated) fell back on a nasty narrative about Rio and Brazil in general and one that was, at first blush, too easy to believe.
So, he lost lucrative sponsorships and the mercurial nature of good will from a public who is always ready to attack and opine. There were discussions of white privilege, the stereotype of the ugly American, that at 32, he's too old to be acting this way.
Well, consider this: Those who reap the benefits of privilege usually don't examine what those benefits are. Not being required to do that kind of deep introspection is, like, the definition of privilege. That's no excuse, but consider that if you're ignorant of something, you're ignorant of something until someone — or, you know, life — educates you about it. And I've found trying to teach someone about privilege is a fool's errand.
If you think no other thirtysomethings party and do stupid things, then you must not know a lot of thirtysomethings. If you think no other thirtysomethings party and do stupid things and lie about them, then you might just not know a lot of people.
And yes, most thirtysomethings are not 12-time Olympic medalists wrapping up the Games in a foreign country. I get that.
When artists (actors, directors, musicians) do or are accused of doing horrible things, we are often asked if we can separate the art from the artist. You need look no further than Nate Parker for that cognitive-emotional dissonance casserole. It's a question I still struggle with. In many instances, I have to say "yes" because the inability to do so would actually prevent me from doing my job. And I love my job.
In this case, then, can we separate the athlete from the act? And in all the discussion of how "terrible" Lochte is, where and what are the solutions?
People applauded his sponsors for dropping him. They called him insincere in his teary interview with Matt Lauer. But he was never set up to win with either. Lochte was damned to lose before and after Rio. And there are not enough primetime TV minutes, not enough rotations in the spin cycle, in the world for him to acknowledge his "tantics" or apologize that could have satisfied anyone — because it's way easier as a judging public to grab our pitchforks than our tissues.
And still, the tide turns. Now that Lochte is facing charges in Brazil that could land him up to six months in jail, there is a sudden shift to be back on Team Lochte, it would seem. "Brazil needs to let this go" or variations of this are a common refrain in the avatar-less comment sections of news articles.
So, which is it now? Burn him at the stake for being granted a spot on "Dancing with the Stars"? Or chill out on the hot dumb jock because Brazil, wow, man, you're overreacting?
We are a forgiving society. I think it's in our American DNA to not only forgive someone but also embrace a good comeback. I'm pretty convinced that "Dancing with the Stars" was actually created for that. But I do think how you think about Lochte, his fallout and what will be his ultimate redemption says a lot about the self-righteousness we have yet to examine within ourselves.
You don't have to have sympathy for Ryan Lochte. He's getting/going to be punished for awhile. But what people seem to have lost sight of is whether you are required to have a little — even an ounce — of empathy, a bead of sweat's worth.
Because think about your darkest, crappiest moment — the moment you're least proud of. Maybe it's a moment from your entire life; maybe it's the worst moment from last week, the last hour. And then think about the faceless, nameless judge-y masses examining that under a microscope. Are they holding pitchforks or tissues? I can guess which one.Tags: IOC, olympics, rio, ryan lochte, team usa swimming

text: My friend and I had decided to travel on a whim without much planning. I had seen this B&B on tripadvisor.com before leaving and jotted down their phone number. On the night we decided to land in Grand Marais we gave Max and Sherri a call. They accommodated our late arrival, made sure we ate dinner before everything had closed, and were very welcoming. The B&B is artistically and comfortably furnished. It was very clean, and I appreciated the organic soaps and handmade jewelry Sherri made. The food was fantastic, too! A great deal, and I would most definitely stay there again.

Sweet Beet Farm is designed and operated with our greater community in mind. Members have the opportunity to be an integral part of the farm as a working member. We believe that a strong connection to the land equals a strong community. There are an endless amount of on farm tasks and opportunities that you are able to offer your time and/or services as a working member. As one of our working members put it- "A work share is therapy for me, farm therapy!"
We have developed "work shares" because we want to give our members the opportunity to be involved at a much deeper level on "their" farm. A "work share" is the exchange of labor for a CSA share. There is no experience necessary but folks should be prepared for a labor-intensive adventure. We want everyone to have a good time and learn lots of new things, but there's no way around the fact that growing vegetables is a ton of work! A work share is different than volunteering at the farm. They represent an important contribution to the operation of the farm and we depend on work shares to meet our responsibilities to all CSA members and our wholesale customers. Being able to commit to the whole season is really important, as is keeping the same weekly schedule.
Attitude, dependability, and willingness to learn are everything! The jobs are physical. The work can be heavy, exhausting
and repetitiv
e; hot, cold or wet. Good physical condition is a must! Ability to repeatedly lift 30 pounds is a must. Although you may be in great physical condition, you will still discover muscles. Attitude, dependability, and willingness to learn are everything! The jobs are physical. The work can be heavy, and you will learn about muscles you never knew you had. You may find yourself in unfamiliar or uncomfortable positions for a sustained period of time (squatting, kneeling, stooping, bending).Work is done primary with as a team especially in the more labor intensive tasks. We work in ALL weather– rain or shine.
*Safe Space Commitment- We want the farm to be a safe and inclusive space for everyone involved. We expect anyone who participates in the farm, whether as work share members, volunteers or visitors to come with an open mind and to treat everyone with respect. We strive to create an environment free of any form of oppression, prejudice and violence.
Partial Work shares
Partial work shares are 9 scheduled shifts of 3 1/2 hour shifts, out of the 18 week period between June and October. Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. Partial work shares receive in return a discount off half of a full share or receive a free half share.
Full Workshares
Full Work shares are 18 weekly, 3 1/2 hour shifts scheduled within the month May through October on Monday's, Wednesday's or Fridays. Full Workshares in return get an entire full CSA share for every 18 weeks.
*Please apply ONLY if you can commit to the full 18 weeks. We due offer flexibility with other summer commitments with in reason. We consider these positions equivalent to staff positions and individuals must be committed in the same way. There will be many short-term volunteer opportunities available throughout the season for people who would like to work at the farm but are not able to commit to a regular work schedule from June – October. Contact us if you are interested in finding out more about short term volunteer positions or have questions regarding the commitments.
To Apply
Work share members are selected after volunteering at the farm. This helps ensure that both you and the farm are a good fit. If you're interested in becoming a work share member please fill out our online volunteer form and send us a statement outlining:
- your interest in the workshare and what you're hoping to get out of it.
- Please indicate if you have access to a vehicle.
- Let us know when you would like to come in for orientation. During this orientation, we will show you the farm and the how-to's of the task at hand!
Frequently Asked Questions
What will I be doing?
You will be involved in all aspects of vegetable harvest and post harvest including washing, bagging, bunching, weighing, counting, and sorting vegetables. You will weed, trellis, transplant, and mulch. Each shift has its own rhythm. There are many one-time jobs; some jobs repeat themselves week after week.
I've never done farm work before. How will I know what to do?
Each job will be explained and demonstrated (when applicable) by a Nick or Amelia. You must listen carefully, follow directions, work hard, and ask questions. Working hard means keeping your hands moving, not stopping and chatting with the person working next you. (This doesn't mean you can't talk, you just have to keep working.)
Can I share the responsibility with my spouse, partner, housemate, etc.?
No. It is best if one person in a household makes the commitment to work the shift. It is unacceptable to simply send another person in your place.
Is there a difference between the morning and afternoon shifts?
Yes, morning shifts are spent primarily in the fields harvesting (but sometimes there is work in the packing shed). Afternoon shifts are spent primarily in the packing shed working with the vegetables that were harvested in the morning (but often there are outside jobs as well). With that said, our work is sometimes dependent on weather, and therefore, being flexible is the key!
What if I need to miss a shift because of vacation, illness or other conflict?
You can make up your shift. With the exception of illness or exceptional circumstances, prior notice is required. Your options will include working a double shift or two shifts in one week. Please consult with Amelia for more details and to get approval.

According to Bhavdeep Singh, CEO, Fortis Healthcare, the initiative can help curb infant mortality rate by providing pre-term babies the best food that they need for survival. "India faces its own set of unique health challenges, one of them being the high vulnerability associated with pre-term babies who are significantly underweight. Providing human breast milk to these fragile neonates can substantially cut the risk of infection and help save their lives," Singh said.
Although, globally, human milk banking is a common practice, in India, the progress has been slow and only 14 such banks exist, as per the Indian Academy of Paediatrics. Key reasons for this are lack of awareness among the public and promotion of formula milk.
"At the 'Amaara' Milk Bank at Fortis La Femme, milk once donated will be tested, pasteurised and frozen (for a period of six months) and made available to needy newborns. It is a public milk bank and, therefore, accessible to all mothers who need it," the hospital said.
"Many mothers of vulnerable, hospitalised babies are unable to breastfeed feed them. In addition, many mothers due to their own poor health or other reasons are not able to produce sufficient milk for their babies. For all of them, pasteurised donor milk is recommended as an essential alternative," added Dr Raghuram Mallaiah, director, neonatology at Fortis La Femme.

Equality impact assessment are a method of recording that a public authority has given due regard to the elimination of unlawful discrimination during the planning and review of relevant policies and practices and whenever possible have identified and put into place measures that will reduce any potential barriers and enhance equality of opportunity.
Due regard comprises two linked elements, proportionality and relevance. The weight that public authorities give to equality should therefore be proportionate to its relevance to a particular function.
- All relevant new or reviewed policies presented to Council Committees for approval must be Equality Impact Assessed.
- All relevant new or reviewed departmental policies that are referred to departmental Senior Management Teams for approval should be accompanied by Equality Impact Assessment.
Rapid Impact Assessment (RIAT)
Rapid Impact Assessment (RIAT) is a simple well tested assessment tool that provides an effective, user friendly and quick method of accessing if due regard has been given to any actual or potential impact on people with protected characteristics while drafting or reviewing of a policy. The RIAT can also identify if a Full Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) is required.
- Download Guidance on undertaking a Rapid Impact Assessment (RIAT) (115KB MS Word doc).
Full Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA)
Full Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) follows the same format and form as a Rapid Impact Assessment but requires greater resources in terms of time and commitment to gather and analyse a wider range of evidence than would normally be required for a Rapid Impact Assessment. This extra commitment should be taken into account during the early planning stages of relevant policies.
A Full Equality Impact Assessment must be undertaken if:
- a Rapid Equality Impact Assessment has recommended that a Full Equality Impact Assessment be undertaken and /or
- the policy or strategy is a major one in terms of scale or significance to the authorities activities and there is a clear indication that it is likely to have an impact upon people who share a protected characteristic.
- although the policy or strategy is minor, it is likely to have a major impact upon people who share a protected characteristic.

Due to all the huge fights that have gone down in recent weeks, this Saturday's bout between Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem has gotten lost in the mix a little bit no?
It's a pivotal and compelling fight–not only due to each man's resume, but because of where they're at in their careers. Overeem needs a win at UFC on FOX 17 to move into the title shot mix, while dos Santos could lock up another crack at the belt, if he scores a highlight reel victory (if Fabricio Werdum defends against Cain Velasquez).
Recently dos Santos–who has yet to fight in 2015–spoke with the UFC's Megan Olivi about Overeem and his future. You can check it out below.

Fill out the information below. You will receive the link where you can download the Annex.
The AWL-Techniek control system is characterized by high reliability, which is partly achieved by the use of object-oriented programming. Here a machine's different functions are handled within defined software blocks.
Because of this object-oriented approach it is much easier to standardize parts. For large parts of the software work therefore shifts from "programming" to "configuration".
The link between objects is also standardized, making the exchange of objects from a library easy to realize.The predictable behaviour of the objects makes it easy to determine where a project can use existing objects from the library or where new software needs to be developed. It is thus far better for assessing the risks within a project.Because the software is divided into distinctive parts it is relatively easy for the building blocks to be developed by several people. The objects can be tested separately as each object has its own specific characteristics and properties which are easy to capture. Also, testing the software without the physical machine is relatively simple. All these characteristics help to ensure that the duration of a project is substantially reduced, especially in the relatively costly testing phase.By applying the object-oriented approach a platform arises in which integral designing is possible. The mechanical engineering, hardware engineering and software engineering departments are able to use the same standardized objects.The object-oriented approach helps AWL make the overall design phase more manageable, and it is a tool which ensures the different disciplines in a design process work better together. This ultimately provides the customer with a reliable, cost effective and stable solution.

Growing up in the bush I got ticks daily. They're no biggie!!
I don't think it should affect your crohn's at all, or make you in any way sick for that matter, as long as it wasn't a paralysis tick and it hadn't been sitting there for over a week! Just get some tea-tree oil and you'll be fine!

Abortion is one of the topics that creates a debate when it is being discussed whether it is online of in person.
There are some people who are allowing this manner of getting rid of the innocent baby inside the womb of a pregnant woman. However, there are a huge number of people who claims that this practice should not be done because it is something that the Lord considers as a sin.
If you ever wondered how it looks like on the inside of a woman when an abortion takes place inside her, then you needed to watch this.
This video of Dr. Anthony Levatino who is a Obstetrician-Gynecologist who have conducted more than 1, 200 abortions in his entire career already.
This video will surely make your stomach turn.

"Deputies say the severed hand showed no signs of decomposition.
Wednesday afternoon, investigators say that several middle school students on their way home from school found more body parts in a brushy area, not far from where the hand was discovered.
Detectives are not saying if the body parts belong to the same person. They say that the coroner will have to determine that at some point.
"My boys were leaving the Wilsona Achievement Academy, and I got a call that I needed to come down because they found something that looked like body parts," says Janice Stowers, the school's principal."
Those poor kids. Can you imagine finding body parts on your way home from Middle School?
The kids probably found it "cool"...exciting, at least. I don't think they would grasp the bigger picture..it would just be a break from the normal hum-drum and they will be little celebrities in their school.Where is Jennifer Kesse? www.findjenniferkesse.com

I've always thought middleschool-aged children the most vicious. Like housecats, seventh graders would probably eat us, if they were only a little bigger.
Gee, I HOPE the body parts are all from the same person!
I am also scratching my head. Don'tcha wonder why LE didn't search the area for more body parts when they retrieved the hand and torso? Those poor kids shouldn't have had to see something like that!
OT: Your puppy is gorgeous!
If those body parts were from different people, then somthing really really hinky is going on down there... Heck, even one body cut up and strewn around like that is heinky enough!!!God Grant me the serenity to accept those things which I cannot change, the strength to change those things which I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past; there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

I don't know, I think there has to be some lasting impact (negative) from discovering the pieces of a corpse. I mean that is intense stuff, regardless of a person's development. I would hope middle schoolers would grasp the severity of a dead person, but perhaps I am being naive. I do think that your comment does hold some truth to the perception of the other kids, but I don't know if that would negate the horror of finding something so gruesome to the kids who actually found it. JMO though!

does anyone know if there have been any updates to this case?
this particular one brings some eerie similarities to many cases in the high desert.
In 2011 they found partially burried human remains outside of palmdale
and over in newberry springs a dog found a human foot
i can only think of April Pitzer when newberry springs is brought up.
then not that far away in Adelanto a body was found on fire.
Living out here in the high desert I have learned that there are alot of SHADY people and ALOT of meth out in the boonies....
I hope that this case gets an update, no one deserves this treatment no matter what they did wrong in life.
About a year ago, an old friend of mine from my high school days asked me if I had heard from her old boyfriend from that era, a guy named William Rush Pennington. I googled his name, and found that he was living in an assisted living facility in Adelanto, and was stabbed to death by his roommate.
That is what comes to mind when I think of Adelanto.

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for company stocks using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Today30 Days Ago90 Days Ago180 Days AgoConsensus Rating: HoldBuyBuyBuyConsensus Rating Score: 2.482.522.562.62Ratings Breakdown: 3 Sell Ratings9 Hold Ratings17 Buy Ratings0 Strong Buy Ratings3 Sell Ratings9 Hold Ratings19 Buy Ratings0 Strong Buy Ratings3 Sell Ratings9 Hold Ratings19 Buy Ratings1 Strong Buy Ratings3 Sell Ratings8 Hold Ratings22 Buy Ratings1 Strong Buy RatingsConsensus Price Target: $120.39$119.54$114.65$113.29Price Target Upside: 4.95% upside0.26% upside5.93% upside8.18% upsideConsensus Price Target History for Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) Analysts' Ratings History for Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails10/30/2017Citigroup Inc.Boost Price TargetBuy$118.00 -> $128.00N/A10/30/2017Jefferies Group LLCReiterated RatingBuy$113.54 -> $137.00N/A10/27/2017Royal Bank Of CanadaSet Price TargetSell$100.00N/A10/19/2017Wells Fargo & CompanyReiterated RatingMarket PerformN/A10/18/2017Morgan StanleyBoost Price TargetOverweight$120.00 -> $130.00N/A10/18/2017Societe GeneraleDowngradeBuy -> Hold$120.00 -> $130.00N/A10/18/2017BMO Capital MarketsDowngradeOutperform -> Market Perform$120.00N/A10/17/2017MacquarieUpgradeNeutral -> Outperform$135.00N/A10/16/2017Wolfe ResearchUpgradeMarket Perform -> OutperformN/A10/11/2017Barclays PLCUpgradeOverweightN/A10/3/2017Bank of America CorporationReiterated RatingBuy$120.00 -> $125.00Low9/19/2017Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Sharing Our Heritage
The Halstead Heritage Museum contains a number of displays including transport through the ages, the history of Courtaulds, a look at the famous Victorian stove manufacturers Portway and various artefacts from Halstead and surrounding villages.
In addition to the various displays we will also be selling a selection of local History related books (you can also see these in the publications page of this website).
Due to the size of the Museum we can only exhibit a small number of the many thousand that we have amassed over the years. We try to update what we have on show as often as we can, and hold exhibitions focusing on a specific subject from time to time.
Halstead Heritage Museum
Mill House
The Causeway
Museum Opening Times
The Museum is open at the following times from February to November:
Sunday: 13:30 to 16:00
Wednesday: 13:30 to 16:00
