Wow, I feel really torn about posting about this at all. When I stumbled across this today I was quite excited; while the promise of content interoperability has been there for quite a while now, the availability of easy to use tools for producing such content outside of the CMS delivery environments has been scarce. So any time I see a tool like this I am anxious to check it out. more…
I downloaded and installed the software, which worked a charm (always a good sign.) But upon opening it up, it was not immediate obvious what to do next (never a great sign, but I'll allow for some leeway here as I've been immersing myself in some programs that, once over an initial hump, offer tremendous potential). So turning back to the website I checked out the FAQ which offered:
How do I get started?
The tools are capable of producing complex content, and it will take a while to get to know the full potential. Don't panic and read the help file. Subscribe to the mailing list and post your questions there.
Fair enough. Not quite RTFM, but off to the help docs I went. Read them through. Managed to get a 'learning object' built comprised of a few pages, some text with an image embedded, a freehand drawing and one multiple choice question. All of which were wrapped in a nice looking Flash template and could be exported as a SCORM object.
This is (self-declaredly) beta software. There are definitely some bugs, but that's not its primary issue. It is also, as they say in the FAQ, capable of producing complex content. It's true – I loaded some of the examples from their example page into the editor and previewed them, and using these one could see how it might be possible to produce really quite polished Flash-based learning objects that would otherwise take some major development time. And maybe this is one avenue the developers could look into, easing the use in which fully developed templates can serve as the basis for new objects (as in 'File…New Object…Choose from Template').
But as it stands now I truly do not think this is what I call an instructor-focused tool. There is no way you could convince me to unleash this on the general instructional population. And I'm not meaning to denigrate the technical skills of instructors at all. It's just that there is very little about this tool that screams "user friendly." So maybe I can see professional elearning developers adopting this and really improving their efficiency in producing standards-based learning content. That's great, wonderful. But I know in my scenario here in BC, and my experience is that this is largely true elsewhere, I'm dealing with 80-90% non-professional developers, that is, instructors and subject matter experts who are creating their own learning content in a largely 'craft-' based model.
Seriously, what kind of time should we expect faculty to invest in these types of tools? I am not someone who could be accused of being permissive about this issue – I'm actually kind of a hardass myself when it comes to holding people responsible for developing fluency with media creation tools. But we've got to realize what the yardstick is becoming – to me, one of the oft under-reported aspects of the 'web 2.0' tools is that they make it INCREDIBLY EASY to create new, polished looking content. Take tools like Gliffy or eyespot. Seriously, if you haven't checked this out, go there now. Try them. How long did it take you to assess their usefulness and what they could do. 30 seconds? 2 minutes? How much longer until you actually created something usefull with them? 30 minutes? An hour? Did you read the help docs, ever?
I think the developers of XERTE, the IS Learning Team from the University of Nottingham, have tried to create something really challenging, and should actually be commended for the effort. While they haven't open sourced it, their FAQ page invites people interested in further developing it to contact them, and I hope they get some takers. If the usability and interface don't improve, it definitely will not be the first time that a tool coming out of higher education aimed at producing standards-compliant elearning content wasn't user friendly (do I even need to link to the example here?) And probably not the last one either. It seems to be one of the chasms (there are many) between Web 2.0 supporters and those that think it's a fad, the latter claiming it's all about glitz, the former knowing that what's called glitz by some is usability and design by others, and that if you don't want to have to force people to use your software, you have to invest in these. – SWL

Early Grundy Resident Dies Monday At Dike
Christ Krog Resident of Grundy County 63 Years
Christ Krog died at his home at Dike Monday night following an illness of two years from pernicious anemia.
There are few if any people living in Grundy county who were here when Mr. Krog came to the county with his folks. That was sixty-five years ago. The family located on a farm near Fredsville. Later, Mr. Krog married there and made his home on a farm. He continued a resident of his Fairfield township farm until fifteen years ago when the family moved to Dike, where they have since resided. Mr. Krog was 74 years old at the time of his death. He was a successful farmer and was the owner of 400 acres of land in Fairfield township at the time of his death. His wife died three years ago.
Mr. Krog is survived by seven children, two being sons and there are five daughters. The sons are Ole, who resides on one of the Krog farms, and George, who is living in Dike. The daughters are Mrs. Clarence Frederickson, Mrs. James Kirstoffen, Mrs. Harold Hansen and Carrie and Ellen Krog.
Funeral services are being held today from the Fredsville church of which the deceased was a member since this country church was organized.

I'm Heidi – This site celebrates cooking, and aspires to help you integrate the power of lots of vegetables and whole foods into your everyday meals. The recipes you'll find here are vegetarian, often vegan, written with the home cook in mind.
This is simply heirloom beans and roasted broccoli with shallots and pan-fried seitan. Something I threw together one night after getting home from the airport. It's filling and hearty, and quick to make - particularly if you have cooked beans stashed in the freezer...but canned beans will work too.
A nice platter of greens and brown rice doused in a spicy-salty-sweet pineapple dressing flecked with seitan. It's good hot or at room temperature.
A peppery arugula pesto tossed with a bowl of plump, chewy wheat berries. The bite of the arugula is tamed by the creaminess of the pine nuts in the pesto, and the saltiness of the grated Parmesan and chopped Kalamata olive offsets the wheat berries nicely.

Don't Get Left Stranded: Everything You Need to Know About Emergency Car Repair Loans
Have you found yourself in need of car repairs but don't have the money for them? You have options. Read on to learn about emergency car repair loans.
You've maintained your vehicle perfectly, yet one day you attempt to start it before leaving for work and it simply will not crank. You know that the car is getting old but you also realize you can't afford a new one.
Unfortunately, the car is your lifeline to work, school, and taking care of your family. Money is tight, but you have to have it repaired. The struggle can be overwhelming and unplanned expenses always create anxiety.
Luckily, there are emergency car repair loans available. We're going to tell you a bit more about them and how to ensure you find the best option for your situation. Keep reading for more information!
Before Finding a Loan
Before you find an emergency car repair loan, you will need to speak with a mechanic to gather information on the amount of money needed. Ideally, you should speak with at least two or three professionals to find the best deal.
If you have a car-savvy friend, ask them to go with you to help distinguish the truth from any white lies or overestimates the mechanic gives. Also, keep in mind that some repairs are more urgent than others.
You may be tempted to tell the mechanic to do 'whatever it takes' to get the car running, but this may not be in your best interest. Ask for a complete breakdown of each problem and take some time to research which ones can be saved for a later date and which issues need to be fixed immediately.
Check for Deals
Depending on the issue at hand, your car insurance may be able to direct you to a cost-efficient mechanic. Once again, compare the pricing of other local shops, but this may give you a starting point.
Also, local vocational schools may allow their mechanics in training to make certain repairs at reduced rates. This can sound scary, but their trainees are carefully observed by long-time professionals.
Depending on when and where you purchased the vehicle, it may still be under warranty or have a recall you haven't heard about. Call the dealership to find out if your warranty is intact or if there are known issues that they will repair at a reduced rate.
Although certain mechanic shops are certified for warranty and recall work, many prefer to avoid this because they do not make as much money. Some shops that are less honest will sometimes claim that the repairs are not covered and attempt to charge you out of pocket.
Asking for Help
Not everyone has the ability or budget to have a rainy day savings fund. However, sometimes friends and family are willing to step up and loan part or all of the money needed to make car repairs.
Although it can be a tough conversation, it is important to ask for help when you need it–you may be surprised at the answers.
Should a friend or family member agree to loan or give you the money needed for repairs, it is wise to get the terms and conditions in writing. This protects both parties from potential misunderstandings and may save the relationship if questions arise.
Cash advances are another option that people frequently turn to but these can quickly turn into endless debt. Until you have exhausted every other option, this should be your last consideration.
Emergency Car Repair Loans
Believe it or not, there are actual loans that are designed specifically for emergency situations. Most banks no longer allow small personal loans and as mentioned, cash advances aren't always the best idea but do have some advantages and can help you out of a rough spot.
However, there is the option of online installment loans. These loans are relatively simple to acquire and sometimes require little or no credit–just a United States bank account.
You should know that not all online loans are created equally. Some have extremely high interest rates, others can offer confusing terms, and some even have penalties for early repayment.
The key to choosing an online loan will be plenty of research. Read reviews of the lender, consider all conditions, and try to borrow as little as possible. Ask your friends and family if they have experience in this area, and why they would return to a lender or avoid them completely.
As usual, your credit history will have a huge bearing on the amount of money you can borrow as well as the interest rate. Some online lenders will allow for co-signers to help offset the risk if you have little or no credit which can help lower the interest rate or make you eligible for a bigger loan.
Spotting a Predatory Lender
When you are in a rough spot and need money quickly, it can be easy to fall into a predatory lender's trap. These lenders will attempt to convince you that you need a bigger loan than necessary and typically at exorbitant rates.
These lenders often target people that are in dire need of funds, may not have the means to repay the loan, and are usually deceptive in their practices.
The loans offered typically have a short repayment period, require an automatic bank draft for payments, and aren't clear about the total cost of the loan. Be wary of these signs and complaints of other borrowers as these may spell trouble.
Weighing Your Options
Finding emergency car repair loans may not always be an option. Before you stress out, realize that sometimes it may be better to simply replace the vehicle and sell the old one for parts.
You may not believe you have the funds for a new car or that you can afford the payments, yet old, reliable cars are sold online every day. Although this can be a hassle and may leave you without transportation for a few days, it can definitely be viable. If you'd like to find out more about how to purchase a vehicle online, check out our guide!

If you are familiar with the Arlo Smart Person Detection feature and now want to enable it, then follow the post below.
Through the utilization of advanced algorithms, the Arlo security cameras send alerts to the users once a person has been detected. And it is also capable of filtering out daily moments, including oscillation of tree branches.
This particular feature makes sure that the users only notice what is important for them and so it alleviates other unwanted alerts. The incredible person detection feature enables the users to search their recording library for videos that consist of people. To know about different Arlo cameras, you can contact?Netgear Arlo Customer Service Phone Number.
The Smart plans consist of Person Detection that is capable of differentiating the activities of a person from that of an animal. And thus it won?t generate an alarm in specific cases.

Some of the key features of Arlo Smart are as follows:
Person Detection:?Owing to the sophisticated algorithm, the Arlo security camera is capable of filtering out regular moments, including vibrating tree branches. However, it only alerts you once it has detected a person.
e911:?After making an emergency phone call, you would be connected to emergency dispatchers, present nearby to your location (in which you?ve made the call).

With the help of this particular feature, you would only watch what is important. And it also alleviates the number of unnecessary notifications as well as recordings.
You need to remember that Arlo Smart is available in the US only.
Another worth noting point is that the respective camera still records videos to the library once motion has been detected, however, you would receive a small number of unwanted notifications.
To enable the feature of the person detection, you ought to execute the following steps.
First, you have to launch theArlo application. Alternatively, you need to log in to the respective Arlo account by visiting arlo.netgear.com.
Now, it?s time to click or tap ?Settings > Smart Notifications?.
Now, you need to choose a camera.
It is the time to click or tap the ?People? slider for enabling the incredible person detection feature.
You ought to repeat Step-3 and Step-4 in order to enable the feature of person detection in another camera.
If you want to receive notifications only while people have been detected, you need to disable the??Other??slider.
If you find any of the above steps tough-to-execute, then you can visit?Arlo Sing In.
Sometimes back, Netgear had declared a number of new brilliant features along with service plans for the incredibly-designed Arlo cameras. And they are known as Arlo Smart.
They make use of brilliant algorithms to reduce unnecessary notifications. And thus you will get only those notifications that are meaningful to you.
You are free to access your recordings for up to the duration of 60 days. The cameras can easily reach emergency responders through the utilization of the ?e911 services?.

38-year-old amateur wife and mother of 4 gets spied on doing chores on her back deck, kitchen, and front porch where all of her neighbors can see her flashing her ass in her tiny little cut-off jean shorts. After 10 minutes of spying on her doing her slut chores she gets naked and sneaks upstairs to masturbate on the bed with her ass in the air. The camera man then sneaks in and fucks her doggystyle and gives her a massive creampie inside of her pussy. Close-up shots of the cum leaking out. Now satisfied, she puts her jean shorts back on and finishes her chores outside as the creampie leaks out of her pussy soaking the crotch of her shorts with his cum load. If only her neighbors knew it was a load of cum that was leaking from her milf pussy. Once finished she takes her shorts completely off and sucks every last bit of cum from her shorts slurping it all up. Then she stuffs her entire shorts into her mouth just to be sure she got it all like any good slut Milf would do.

Workers are changing. So is the office. In the 21st century, why do you need a workspace at a time when workers' tools all are digitized, fitting in a pocket or stored away in the internet cloud ? The need for social interaction, hospitality, care and the sense of purpose is the answers. Coworking spaces have successfully mushroomed, these last years, all around The Netherlands, as it has almost everywhere else in the world. Coworking is paving the way towards what workspaces are to be for digital workers in the future : flexible, technology open, human driven enablers. The Social Workplace Conference is a unique opportunity to understand the innovations and insights of the growing number of flexible workspaces that are transforming the real estate landscape. It's a look at the future of the workspace for empowered workers, would they be corporate employees or freelancers.

Carbon capture processes are highly energy intensive and the main driving force during the process design is the necessity to reduce the energy consumption for the solvent regeneration. The energy efficiency of absorption desorption processes is driven by the plant design and operation conditions, but also to a large extent by the choice of the scrubbing liquid (Wang et al., 2011). Absorbent screening for CO
capture is time-consuming and costly. Apart from the energy efficiency, aspects such as loading capacity and robustness towards industrial impurities and disturbances have to be investigated before designing a large-scale plant and optimally operating it. In this contribution, a systematic approach is presented to carry out evaluation tests for a novel solvent in an industrial pilot-plant and at the same time to determine an optimal operation point with maximum energy efficiency. The three-step approach is based on the assumption that for a novel absorbent little to no thermodynamic data is available. Hence, the investigation is solely based on simulation data from similar solvents and experimental data on the novel one. Monoethanolamine (MEA) still is widely used as reference absorbent for removing CO
. Consequently, simulation data and the properties of MEA are taken as a baseline for the general performance and behaviour of amine-based absorbents. As a first step, data from rigorous simulations is used to develop a surrogate model describing the general behaviour of a carbon capture process for MEA. Subsequently, pilot-plant-scale experiments are carried out to investigate the application of MEA in practice. Secondly, the surrogate model is then updated to account for the plant characteristics as given by the experimental data for MEA. Finally, by means of the MEA-based data-driven model, the new solvent is experimentally investigated. By successive approaches the surrogate model's maximum in energy efficiency is identified and repeatedly updated for the novel solvent's experimental behaviour. In terms of the energy efficiency and based on this workflow the performance of the novel solvent is compared with MEA.

|Vote difference
|Ryu - 72.33%
(29,696 brackets)
Given that Duke Nukem went from being a 3 seed in 2002 (one that lost handily to then-unknown Alucard, no less) to being in a 12 seed fodder role against Ryu, it was widely believed that Ryu would come out and beat Duke with ease.
However, I doubt most expected Ryu to dominate quite like this. Duke wasn't really considered full-blown fodder until this match, and this was supposed to be Ryu's tune-up for his eventual loss to Dante. Ryu blasting the hell out of Nukem should have been a warning sign for the upcoming match between Ryu and Dante, though that match definitely falls into the "Where the hell were the stats back then?" category.
If they existed, people would have picked Ryu > Dante without a second thought. As is, people had to make excuses for why Ryu was going to lose anyway. And the 70% he scored here could have actually been far worse; he was close to 75% when the match began. After Ryu's horrific beatdown of Duke Nukem, all the people who treated Dante > Ryu as if it were a lock had to sit back and hope that Dante was equally, if not more impressive in his match against Ryo Hazuki.
Of course, we're not even having this discussion if Duke Nukem Forever comes out on time. What the hell is taking them so long, anyway?

Millennials' Love of Cultivating
A funny thing happened on the way to the digital age... young people have re-discovered how to cultivate their own vegetables, succulents, and plants. Millennials, known for their resourcefulness on social media, have been embracing the "Do it Yourself" culture across all topics on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Home gardening appears to be no exception, and savvy floral & plant resellers are capitalizing on the trend.
It's a paradox, to be sure. We now live in a device-driven society where instant gratification is expected, yet people in their early twenties are still happy to invest their time tackling hands-on projects. It's good news for florists and garden centers who are prepared to fill this niche.
There are several different ways you can make it easy for your customers to start their own growing journey. Here are just a few to consider:
1) Add Garden Kits to your Product Offering
Aquaponics (like self-contained garden kits) are on-trend and super-easy to use. Users place the plant in a small amount of water for several weeks until it sprouts roots, then plant it in a pot. Simple - and fun!
Millennials love creative ways to display the plants they've cultivated. When the fruits of their labor are (inevitably) captured in an Instagram or Facebook post, it looks clean and reflects their personality. Clear votives and test tube vases are other vessels that foster this same kind of creativity that your younger customers are seeking. Consider stocking small terrarium tools as well, to complete the package.
2) Get Creative with Products you Already Carry
Did you know that corsage boxes can actually be used as mini greenhouses? Your customers can place a small wet towel at the bottom, add a plant on top and simply shut the box. The closed environment allows the plant just enough humidity to thrive.
Small bags of soil, rocks, and moss would be a great complement at the point-of-purchase, allowing your customers buy everything they need in one shot. Create a few sample corsage-box planters and put them on display... you'll be amazed at the reaction!
3) Variety is the Spice of Life
A mini garden can be created in virtually any clear container. By offering both high and low-end options, you give your customers the ability to choose what works best for their budget. For those who want something a little nicer than a corsage box (but don't want a pre-packaged garden kit), try making a demo model using a crystal tray or tall tulip vase.
Naturally, the greatest traction will be gained by promoting your home-cultivation ideas on your store's own website and social media platforms. Photos and videos showing the consumer how to create these charming home-gardens is as important as letting them know you have the components in-stock. Consider investing a little money in boosting your post within 30 miles of your shop for a week or more; you'll be pleased with the results!

Fellow patriots, please listen to this short, inspiring message from General Flynn. General Michael Flynn exemplifies patriotism, courage, and love of God and country - despite some of his own countrymen relentlessly attacking him. Donations for his defense are greatly appreciated. If you can only give $5.00, please do so - every little bit helps. Thank you so much, and God bless. Letter from General Flynn.
By Lyle Rapacki
Investigative journalist and commentator, Kelleigh Nelson, has written a superb article discussing General Flynn's hiring of "Firebrand Attorney Sidney Powell." See Below.
Lt. General (Ret) Mike Flynn, former National Security Advisor to President Trump, former Director of National Intelligence, and former 32-years military service including active theatres of combat and general command has undergone a brutal character assassination over the past nearly three years. His loss of professional positions, finances and home, standing in professional communities as well as in the eyes of many across the country has been real, brutal, and far-reaching. The attacks on General Flynn's character, his integrity, and his service has been calculated and nefarious at a minimum, diabolical without a stretch; BUT GOD! Mike and Lori Flynn have lost much this world considers signs of achievement, of success, of having "made it." Despised by Obama and crew for not capitulating to what Obama unethically (and quite possibly unconstitutionally wanted when he was in the Oval Office, and General Flynn served as Director of National Intelligence) Mike was deliberately targeted by Obama and members of the Deep State serving Obama. When Mr. Trump was elected and chose Mike to become his National Security Advisor, a plan was put into motion by Obama to destroy Flynn at all costs. One could easily argue on the surface it appears to have worked; BUT GOD! General Flynn's initial legal representative's turns-out to have closer allegiance with the Washington, DC swamp than to the Bill of Rights and Constitution General Flynn swore to uphold against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. Costly; BUT GOD! Through the valley of the shadows Mike and Lori Flynn have walked, they learned in a personally intimate, all abiding and very real manner Yeshua Ha Masiach (Jesus the Messiah) was right there beside them! Coming to know Yeshua personally and intimately, Mike and Lori began a journey they could have never imagined, and while still on this journey, they are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It has been a very long and sobering, even frightening nearly three years, filled with real threats of thorough personal ruination, and even federal prison; BUT GOD!
Continuous prayers of intercession have pushed back the diabolical shadows of darkness. Increased discernment and wisdom, along with Divine Appointments from Holy Spirit, also led to a much needed change of legal counsel. Enter new attorney Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor and defense counsel with years of sophisticated experience. The article below is riveting. The accompanying video interview of attorney Sidney Powell by another former federal prosecutor and current TV commentator and host of his own show, Mark Levin, is must see! Additionally, attorney Sidney Powell wrote a self-published book, "Licensed to Lie." Miss Powell details the sordid and egregious miscarriages of justice the Department of Justice under Obama and crew became. Most of the same players slithered over to the incoming Trump Administration; we have seen some of the results of those Deep State holdovers.
There has been a silent Coup against the Trump Administration even prior to their taking office. The network comprising this Coup was sophisticated and well established, and remnants exist today; BUT GOD! A Storm of Justice is coming, and already has been unleashed over our nation by Attiq Yomin (the Ancient of Days – Daniel 7: 9, 13 – God is the ultimate authority who judges all nations). This Storm of Justice is still building, still growing in intensity to tear down the evils which have been hidden and influencing America to turn from her foundational principles. Attorney Sidney Powell was a Divine Appointment arranged by the Lord to assist in exposing the myriad of evil that has encompassed Washington, D.C., and therefore, influence America. She was positioned to step forward and help another who the Lord is not at all finished employing for His purposes.
Lt. Gen. (Ret) Mike Flynn took a huge hit, and another, and while definitely staggered, received still another massive hit by a Principality of Darkness. To be sure those strikes were costly and devastating, and nearly fatal; BUT GOD! ~LJR

ORAL25.07 - DNA Methylation in Small Cell Lung Cancer Defines Distinct Disease Subtypes and Correlates with High Expression of EZH2 (ID 3031)

- Abstract
- Presentation
- Slides
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine lung tumor characterized by extreme plasticity, high metastatic potential, and capacity for acquired resistance to chemotherapy. Despite significant advances in our understanding of SCLC genetics and etiology, the epigenetics of this deadly disease remain under studied. This study profiles DNA methylation in primary SCLC, patient-derived xenografts (PDX) and cell lines at single-nucleotide resolution.
This study profiled DNA methylation at single-nucleotide resolution in 47 extensively characterized SCLC samples, including 34 fresh frozen primary SCLC tumors as well as 6 distinct primary patient-derived xenografts and 7 cell lines using the Illumina Human Methylation 450k Bead Chip array. Importantly, 24 primary SCLC in this study have previously been analyzed by whole exome sequencing and RNAseq, allowing integrated analysis of these data types with measurements of DNA methylation. We applied unsupervised clustering, discrete and locally clustered differential methylation analysis, correlation with gene expression, spacial correlation with genomic features, and interrogated the role of the EZH2 methyltransferase in SCLC using bioinformatic and pharmacologic approaches.
Unsupervised clustering of all samples revealed that PDX clustered with primary SCLC, while cell lines were easily discriminated. We explored this phenomenon further and found that while the top differentially methylated CpGs in both PDX and cell lines were >80% concordant with primary SCLC, only PDX maintained high concordance across larger probe lists. Unsupervised clustering of primary SCLC revealed three distinct subgroups at both the DNA methylation and gene expression levels that correlated with expression of the neurogenic transcription factors ASCL1 and NEUROD1. The chromatin modifier EZH2 was expressed >12-fold higher in SCLC than in normal lung. In addition to the high expression observed in SCLC compared to normal lung, we observed a significant correlation between median EZH2 gene expression and promoter methylation using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Overall, EZH2 expression in SCLC is greater than or comparable to that of any other tumor type represented in TCGA. EZH2 protein expression was detected by Western blot in 15/17 SCLC PDXs (88%). We assessed the efficacy of the potent EZH2 inhibitor EPZ-5687 in the LX92 SCLC PDX in vivo. EPZ-5687 was well-tolerated and demonstrated remarkable efficacy at 100 mg/kg either QD or BID.
DNA methylation patterns in primary SCLC are more closely mirrored by those found in PDX, compared to cell lines, including PDX lines of very high passage. Distinct epigenetic subtypes could be observed in SCLC, even among histologically indistinguishable samples with similar mutation profiles. SCLC is notable for consistent high level DNA methylation clustered in promoters containing CpG islands. Promoter methylation in SCLC is distinct from other lung cancers and correlates strongly with high-level expression of the histone methyltransferase gene EZH2. Pharmacologic inhibition of EZH2 in a SCLC PDX markedly inhibited tumor growth. These findings point to a critical role of EZH2 in SCLC tumor biology and support further preclinical efficacy studies in models of SCLC.

Swot Analysis on Boeing and Airbus
Autor: viki • March 18, 2011 • Essay • 743 Words (3 Pages) • 2,851 Views
Strengths: In commercial aviation industry Boeing is the largest manufacturer of aircraft around the world, with its strong network around 145 countries. Mainly it delivers the aircrafts in the developing and developed countries. Wide product line of the company helps him to fly high and touch the peak of the sky. The well-organized production system and knowledgeable, capable and skilled labour force is the key strength of the company. Another most focusing strength is the technology and timely innovation of its product. Boeing is offering an economical price, so that developing countries can also easily deal with Boeing. The customer base of the company is also very strong in respect to both national and international, as it is only dealing in good reputed and quality product and due to this the product is also reliable.
Weaknesses: The core weakness in Boeing is the internal policies in its corporate governance and with the effect of this the employees are not giving their full in the production process. Even the cost of investment and production process is also being a weakness for the company. Boeing is highly dependent on its suppliers, which may also act an excuse in delaying process. Highly dependence of Boeing on government subsidies is also a point of weakness for the company. Multi diversification can also be act as a weakness for Boeing, as it may lead to more human error and can also create barrier in communication.
Opportunities: The prime opportunity in the industry is the rapid development and innovation in technology. Technology helps in bringing advancement in commercial aircraft industry. More of market can be captured and even sales can be increase by expanding the company to external market. Increment of demand in developing countries and emerging markets is also a good opportunity for Boeing to expand its market globally. For this market they can also plan cheap small size plane to lead the market.
Threat: Allowance of subsidy to its biggest competitor Airbus by EU government is acting as a threat for Boeing because after receiving the discount Airbus is offering a huge discount on its product. So as to give a counter attack on the discount offer Boeing need to offer something different to its

Nepton 240M poor performance
Maksym Druz posted a topic in Nepton 240MHi All, Used to have Corsair H100 and i-5 4690K overclocked to 4.5 Ghz as initial set-up. In 1 year H100 produced results, that I was not satisfied - 85 C at top load of CPU, during gaming, etc. Decided to go for upgrade and picked up Nepton 240M, according to reviews and specs - it should be perfect for my overclocked i-5 4690K CPU. Changed thermopaste, mounted it on CPU and within 1 week of usage I`m dissapointed. Aida64 CPU tests push CPU temp at 91C, During gaming it jumps up to 70C. Voltage of CPU is 1.8V at 4.5 Ghz, Cache Ratio 4.2 Ghz. I`m feeling like I paid $$$ just with no results, old and poor in performance reviews H100 performs on the same level as well rated 240m. Where is a trick? I`m using Arctic Silver 5 thermopaste. CPU is scalped and fresh thermopaste used as well. I`m sure that I mounted everything well and according to instructions. Any ideas?

Derivatives trading in the crypto sphere has been a matter of speculation and discussions. Of late, a surge in the number of platforms offering derivatives trading has been witnessed. In a recent update, leading cryptocurrency exchange, Bitfinex announced that it is considering launching options trading in the first quarter of 2020. Let's have a look at the platforms that are racing to launch new crypto derivatives soon.
Bitfinex Announces Launch of Options Trading
Per a recent announcement by Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Bitfinex and Tether, Bitfinex plans to offer options trading in the first quarter of 2020. After iFinex Financial Services, a subsidiary of iFinex, launched derivatives this summer, the exchange has now turned its focus on options.
"That was a big project. It required a few months of full-time development."
he said.
Another development in line for the exchange are Tether-based swaps. One of the primary reasons to launch Tether-based swaps is to build trust and a wider reach for Tether. Furthermore, Arduino said he's currently working with external market makers to ensure liquidity.

CME To offer Options on Bitcoin Futures in early 2020
The previous month Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME ) Group announced the launch of options on Bitcoin Futures. CME futures are set to launch on the 13th of January and are being launched on popular customer demand. The options on CME futures will further help traders mitigate possible risks of counterparty default with a central clearing. Also, they will give rise to wider variety of choices for traders and help them in managing risk and building strategies by supporting flexible trading.
The BTC options will be priced off of the CME Bitcoin Reference Rate, an index that references pricing data from several cryptocurrency exchanges. Presently, made up of the likes of Bitstamp, Coinbase, itBit, Kraken, and Gemini. Subsequently, they will settle into the CME Bitcoin futures contract which trades under the ticker BTC and equals five bitcoins.

I think it's smart to have enough food stored for at least 2 weeks, even if there is no need for that, you will eat it sooner or later anyway. Of course you have to be smart and know what to buy (canned food and other dry foods), people hoarding toiler paper was quite absurd.There has been unprecedented amounts of food waste due to people hoarding food. Pretty much everyone in the food production/distribution business that I've talked to has pretty much said if people would stop crazily hoarding food and just go back to buying what they need, then the food market would go back to normal after a couple of weeks.

Sad to witness that work began today on demolishing the big roundabout as you drive into Keighley from Skipton. The reason for my sorrow was the sight of a great many trees cut down, flat to the ground, their stumps white and raw. Like the roundabouts in Skipton, and probably many other places, this one was packed with trees and home to a great deal of wildlife, including rabbits and many birds. No doubt its insect population, come the spring, would have numbered millions.
The council states that, "where possible, new native trees will be planted along the roadside and verge areas. As this vital highway scheme involves the widening of the road, some trees will have to be removed in order to implement the scheme. [The council has] worked hard to ensure that each of the trees that need to be removed will be replaced with trees either within the scheme or nearby. Landscaped areas affected by the construction works will be replanted. The existing embankment at the cricket ground will be cleared and replaced with shrubs and trees."
To which I say, yeah, right – like for like? Really? What of the animals and insects the felled trees and dug-up land were home to? When you destroy a tree you aren't just destroying a tree. There is no like for like. They make a teeny-weeny reference to compulsory purchase orders, too – after all, it's not just trees and other non-human life that have to be bulldozed out of the way': people and businesses are often treated with contempt and disregard, although the plans include easier access for vehicles to multinational junk food purveyors KFC and McDonald's.
All hail the roads. Blessed be the road makers.
All this when we have just learned a third of insects globally have gone forever. If the projection comes true that all insect life will be gone by 2100 – and, along with them, all human and much other life, starved to death – then the absence of insects will doom us before our climate sabotage can do the job.
The roundabout is being destroyed along with a lot of established road, grass verges and buildings to extend a dual carriageway. The work will cause chaos and traffic tailbacks well into 2021, probably 2022 and, if local government past performance is anything to go by, maybe even longer. It's called essential change to address the rise in traffic on the roads. I know, I know – I drive but hey, my car is a hybrid at least. Just blindly catering to more and more petrol vehicles horrifies me.
With political will and daring – entirely lacking among politicians – we could move quickly to all-electric cars being made affordable to the masses, and easy to keep charged. Like, right now, where are the charging units at every garage forecourt, supermarket, pub car park and hotel? They don't exist. There are thousands. These aren't enough. Where are the plans to adapt kerbs to include chargers, so those of us living in flats or terraced houses on narrow streets can charge electric cars without cables trailing on pavements to trip people up?
But of course an end to petrol cars wouldn't save roundabouts rich in trees, animal and insect life. There are many reasons for the demise of insects, all human causes, mind. They include the use of insecticides in gardens and agriculture, and destruction of habitats. You know, like roundabouts few humans actually set foot on. That's why the ones round where I live are popular with rabbits and birds. Drive into my town at 3am and you can see hundreds of rabbits on the roundabouts, busy re-enacting the less violent, more discursive scenes from Watership Down and holding more productive and sane Parliaments than our own.
I wonder where the Keighley rabbits fled to? That is, if they had the chance to flee and weren't entombed to die or killed outright. Of course we need roads. We need the ones we already have maintained properly, our pavements too – and that doesn't happen. Ask anyone, like me, who ever has to push a wheelchair or pram along the street. Every time I take my mum out (in Keighley), I fear launching her into space even directly outside her sheltered housing, where you think keeping roads and paths free from holes and cracks would be prioritised for the elderly and disabled living there. But no. While Brexshit consumes common sense, practicality and everything in its path, and the Tories leech money from local authorities like the vampires they are, we can only expect the full Third World road and pavements experience to continue unaddressed for years to come. Get used to the holes. They'll be rebranded as 'characterful'.
It should be a requirement that any roadworks destroying wildlife and insect homes, burying soil under concrete, be accompanied by the re-greening (best terminology I can come up with) of adjacent wasteland. Keighley, for example, has plenty of rubble sites and crumbling empty buildings. Its shabbiness isn't chic. The fact that it's so miserable-looking a town and a hopeless a place to live is why a majority of its electorate voted to leave the EU. They were conditioned, as most poor leaver areas are, to want more of the same, thinking they were socking it to the elite, who, unperturbed in their ivory towers, marvelled at their own good fortune and the incapacity of more than half the British electorate to join the dots coherently and intelligently.
Were people to engage their brains instead of rinsing them daily with BBC 'news' and Daily Mail fairy stories written by professional haters, then surely we might see the revolution this country needs in order to stem the rot. By the way, don't expect Corbyn to lead the charge if, by some miracle, he gets into Number 10. Right now he's too busy thinking he can use Brexshit, the biggest right-wing project ever, to usher in his own vision of a socialist revolution based on ideas that are over 100 years old. His approach, summated as a grand love-in with Theresa May, the increasingly unhinged despot, to achieve their shared goal, is a gross betrayal of his own party's majority membership and a betrayal of his own commitment to listen and channel their views into policy and action. Yes, I am angry and I'm not alone in feeling the burn.
The shit never ends. While Brazilians have voted in a dictator to destroy the world's biggest lungs – the Amazon – our own nation just keeps on polluting, destroying environments for life, felling trees and generally fucking up. And that's without even mentioning the Emperor of Stupid until now, Donald Trump, busy in the US wiping out environmental protections and doing all he can to destroy North American flora and fauna. He even managed to do a bit of this in Scotland, to build a golf club.
We can't breathe or eat money. First they came for the rabbits? No, actually they came for everything – all that is irreplaceable bulldozed away for profits and this nebulous thing they call 'progress'. We are certainly progressing – moving ever faster to a very nasty end for all of us. Rabbits, insects and trees won't be the only casualties in my part of the world. But hey, at least we will be able to drive from A to B with a little less stress and a tiny bit faster. For now. That's what matters, right?

N.J. Federal Judge Remands Case Involving Arbonne Diet Supplements
October 15, 2018
TRENTON, N.J. — A New Jersey federal judge has remanded a product liability action targeting certain of Arbonne Inc.'s diet supplements, ruling that the plaintiffs asserted viable claims against two of the company's non-diverse sales representatives.
In an Oct. 10 order, Judge Peter Sheridan of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey concluded that the sales representatives were properly joined and that the state court has jurisdiction to determine Arbonne's motion to dismiss the action.
Dena Nockenofsky alleges that in February 2016, she bought Arbonne's "30- Day Feeling Fit Kit," which consisted of protein shake mixes, energy ...

text: (Bloomberg Opinion) -- Rudolph Giuliani, President Donald Trump's private lawyer, has been soliciting a foreign investigation of the president's political opponents..Though he has been temporarily shamed out of making a trip to Ukraine, Giuliani has met multiple times with a Ukrainian prosecutor. And he has made it clear that the Trump forces, who publicly requested and privately accepted assistance from Russian agents in 2016, are prepared to broaden their international outreach in the 2020 campaign. It's unknown what exactly Giuliani is offering in return for this valuable political gift..The effort can draw support from a once unlikely source: the U.S. Department of Justice..U.S. law contains what the Federal Election Commission calls a "broad prohibition on foreign national activity" in American elections. Foreigners are not only prohibited from contributing money or any "thing of value" to a campaign, they are prohibited from making any expenditure at all "in connection with any federal, state or local election in the United States.".The June 9, 2016, meeting at Trump Tower between the top leadership of the Trump campaign and Russians who had offered to provide derogatory information on Hillary Clinton was explicitly organized as "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump." The meeting was not just a measure of how eagerly Trump's senior aides, including members of his family, would compromise basic campaign ethics. It was also, as special counsel Robert Mueller's report states, an act that "implicates" campaign-finance law..Mueller clearly saw the legal implication, but he was unwilling to pursue a criminal indictment. "Schemes involving the solicitation or receipt of assistance from foreign sources raise difficult statutory and constitutional questions," the report states. "The Office ultimately concluded that, even if the principal legal questions were resolved favorably to the government, a prosecution would encounter difficulties proving that Campaign officials or individuals connected to the Campaign willfully violated the law.".Mueller's notion that the meeting didn't represent a "willful" transgression is strange. A month after the meeting, Donald Trump Jr. was vehemently denouncing as "lies" claims that he knew to be quite true: that Russia desired a Trump victory and was working toward that end..In a notoriously leaky campaign, the Trump team managed to keep the June 9 meeting secret for more than a year; it didn't become public until July 2017. Then President Trump personally dictated a lie about it. If the Trump aides were so naive, why did they lie — and keep lying?.Prosecutors must use discretion, and Mueller may have correctly gauged that the limited utility of the Russian information would make it difficult to convict members of the Trump team. Under normal circumstances, a judgment call like that might not matter much. But with a president who refuses to acknowledge either that Russian sabotage occurred or that it was wrong, and who appears determined to exploit foreign actions again, present circumstances are anything but normal..Instead of safeguarding the republic against another foreign intervention into a U.S. election, the newly Trumpified Justice Department appears to be reorienting itself to welcome and justify the next attack. In his Senate testimony on May 1, Attorney General William Barr all but invited criminal manipulation..Democratic Senator Chris Coons of Delaware asked the attorney general this: If North Korean intelligence officers were to offer a U.S. campaign dirt on their opponent, should the campaign contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation?.This was not a trick question. North Korea is a barbarous regime that tortures and murders its own people while perpetually threatening other nations. Yet the law maintains that even Canadians are "broadly prohibited" from providing a "thing of value" to a U.S. campaign..Barr paused, treading water, seemingly unsure how to answer. Finally, he allowed, "a foreign intelligence service, yes.".There is nothing in U.S. law stipulating that only intelligence services are barred from such actions. The nation's highest law enforcement officer was defining law downward in real time..It wasn't an isolated comment. Barr was similarly unwilling to defend the law when Republican Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska asked him whether a foreign enemy of the U.S. could put campaign operatives on retainer and send them off to volunteer for a U.S. campaign..Sasse's hypothetical, one of few questions posed by a Republican on the panel that was meant to solicit information rather than advance false narratives, was based on the real-life example of Trump campaign chairman and convicted felon Paul Manafort. In 2016 Manafort joined the Trump campaign while deeply in debt to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, whom Sasse called a "bad dude" with "no alignment with the interest of the U.S. people and our public.".Again, Barr demurred. "It depends on the specific circumstances," he said. "It's a slippery area.".Before Barr slithered away, Sasse tried to recall the attorney general to his duties.."You're the chief law enforcement officer of the United States Government, and I think it would be helpful for us to have a shared understanding as we head toward the 2020 election of what campaign operatives should well understand is beyond the pale," Sasse told Barr. "I think we need a lot more clarity about it.".Barr could scarcely have been clearer. Presumably to excuse the corrupt conduct of the Trump team, past and future, the attorney general delivered a veritable shout-out to Vladimir Putin, Saudi torturers, Chinese spies and sundry international thugs to join the party in 2020. As Giuliani seeks foreign accomplices to political treachery, the attorney general gave such efforts his tacit approval..To contact the editor responsible for this story: Katy Roberts at firstname.lastname@example.com column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners..Francis Wilkinson writes editorials on politics and U.S. domestic policy for Bloomberg Opinion.

|Next stage
Down & Out is a highrise in Destruction Derby Raw's Skyscraper mode.
Down & Out is harder than the first highrise due to its smaller size. There are pretty narrow edges on each side.
- This level demonstrates that the simple fact of touching the edge without actually falling can result in a Game Over. To try this, drive two wheels (on the same side of your vehicle) off the edge at the center of one of the arrow-shaped sides, but don't fall off. Your vehicle should start dangling, but if you did it right, your vehicle will be back on the rooftop, but you will still lose as if you fell off.

Release Date: February 26, 2013
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile
Format: Hardcover (gift from Grandmom!)/
Summary from Goodreads:
After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Devereaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance. But Rory's brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: she's become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades—the city's secret ghost-fighting police—are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to listen to her before it's too late.
In this follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated The Name of the Star, Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spectacularly gruesome details to the streets of London that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
What I thought: Okay, when I saw MJ in Decatur, she asked the crowd to not say any words, or spoil anything, but just make a sound if anyone had finished the book yet. There were about, oh, 10 of us who had the book finished, and it sounded like a beached whale taking its last breath. Just, in general, sort of a disgruntled uuuunnnnnngggggghhhhh.
This is not to say that this book isn't REALLY FREAKING GOOD, don't get me wrong. It's just that this book managed to get inside my chest, root around, dig out my heart, toss it in a blender, and then serve it to me under the pretense of a strawberry milkshake.
I really loved this book. I loved it a lot. It didn't have that thing where the second book in a series always is the worst? It definitely lived up to the standard set by The Name of the Star, and gave the upcoming third book, The Shadow Cabinet, a LOT to live up to. I'm even more excited now about this series than I was before, and Maureen's talent just keeps getting better.
The only downside to this novel is that the third book is "Expected 2014," and there's still a fourth to eventually follow.
Read this if: you are a human person, because everyone should. (If you like ghost stories, if you like history based stories, if you enjoy having your heart ripped out of your chest and dangled in front of you like a carrot in front of a horse, if you are interested in London.)
Out of 5: 5/5
This is book 20/120 for 2013
