Is there alcohol left after I bake with vanilla extract?
Lágrima recently hosted a vanilla party in Salt Lake City, Utah with a group of wonderful and amazing women and the inevitable question about vanilla and alcohol came up. We never want to shy away from a question but discuss it head on. We even searched a few sites such as the Mormon Dialogue and sites for LDS about the Word of Wisdom.
First, whether you choose to cook with alcohol is a personal choice and here at Lágrima we love everyone and want to support their beliefs. The goal of this post is to help inform the dialogue to support your personal choices and those who you may be cooking for.
Second - Yes, our vanilla extract has alcohol in it. The United States FDA mandates that Pure Vanilla Extract contain a minimum of 35% alcohol content - Lágrima is certainly compliant here.
Now, that said, does the alcohol remain in your baked goods? And the answer here is, most often - No. And any that does is fractional to the original amount.
Here is where our co-founder Neil's engineering and science background might be helpful (remember, he has a degree in bio-medical engineering).
The boiling temperature if ethyl alcohol is 173 degrees F at sea level.
Consider that those cookies or the cake you baked at 325 or 350 F is nearly twice the boiling temperature of alcohol. Now, if you bake gooey brownies and like them super soft in the middle, we can't guarantee that 100% of the alcohol in the vanilla is evaporated out of your goods. And of course if you use vanilla (or any extract) in a cold item, the alcohol will remain.
One last thing: consider that at elevation, liquids boil at a lower temperature (this is due to reduced atmospheric pressure at higher elevations -- people say the 'air is thinner').
- At sea level, water will boil at 212 degrees F.
- At 3000 feet above sea level water will boil at 206 degrees F.
- At 5000 feet above sea level at 203 degrees F.
The same goes for alcohol - higher elevation, lower boiling point. Given that Salt Lake City is around 4000 feet in elevation you can be confident that that the alcohol in vanilla extract is evaporating at lower temperatures.
From a different point of view, consider how the industry looks at Alcohol Units:
A teaspoon is 5 ml in volume. If you bake 2 dozen cookies with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract you have 0.41 ml of vanilla extract per cookie before baking and the alcohol content is 35% so only 0.146 ml of alcohol. If 85% of the alcohol bakes off you have 0.0219 ml of alcohol left in the cookie. A medium-sized glass of wine (175 ml) has around 24 ml of alcohol. So, your cookie (from a batch with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract) will contain 0.00091 the amount of alcohol as a glass of wine. We have found that this is far less than the content of alcohol found in juice due to natural fermentation.
Again, we know this is a subject to be carefully considered and hope this helps inform the conversation. If in doubt use alcohol free vanilla extract which Lágrima does not carry.
We sincerely hope this post is helpful and helps allay any concerns. Please leave a comment or ask a question. We'd love to dig into this topic further.

Karen Thompson said:
I baked 4 dozen muffins with 3TBSP (9tsp) of pure vanilla extract from Mexico. Alcohol % not on container. Baked 30 min at 350 degrees. Using your equation, would there be enough alcohol remaining to be detected in a persons blood/breath using standard testing techniques, if the person ate 3 muffins 15 minutes prior to testing?
Johnan said:
The following statement is simply not correct!
"The boiling temperature if ethyl alcohol is 173 degrees F at sea level.
Consider that those cookies or the cake you baked at 325 or 350 F is nearly twice the boiling temperature of alcohol."
Twice the temperature in F is not twice as hot. Please read up on absolute zero.

The SPFL Development League West Season comes to an end on Wednesday 25th April with Stranraer and Airdrieonians currently vying for the title.
As things stand, Stranraer will be champions if Airdrieonians fail to beat Greenock Morton tomorrow night.
However, it has been alleged that, in their match against East Kilbride on 11 April 2018, Stranraer fielded a player as a trialist in respect of whom the correct paperwork had not been received by the SPFL and the player was allegedly therefore not eligible to play. The match ended in a 2-1 victory for Stranraer.
A disciplinary hearing has been scheduled for Monday 23 April in respect of this matter and, as such, no announcement in relation to the Development League West title (if required) will be made until that hearing has been concluded.

Hi Ben,
Was just wondering as a future development we could possibly have a/b testing for subject lines and have the ability to enter dynamic content would be possible to add in? I do a lot of email work and these features are commonly used.
Thanks in advance
This is getting more and more important to me. Do you have any idea about if/when it might be possible to add?
I 2nd this...
Hi @Ben. Any news on this?
This would also be incredibly helpful for me. Change subject lines and images depending on csv custom field. Any plans for this?
This would be so good, it feels like the main feature now missing in order to compete with mailchimp and others
Yep, split testing is very important. This is a necessary feature.
Is it happening?
4 years have passed since the request... any chance this will ever happen?
Ben, when is this going to be implemented?
+1. Are there any plans to implement this?
Totally agree - must have addition!
I would also love this feature. Instead of rebuilding the campaign tool, I think it would be easier to just add the ability to randomly segment part of a list by a percentage (like 10% or whatever you want to define), so it would be possible to perform an a/b test within sendy.
Still would be manual, but at least you wouldn't have to break the list apart externally.
+1 and also moving between lists, both manually (e.g. after a webinar) as well as dynamically
+1 (it could be extra paid feature - I think a lot of us will be happy for that little bit extra - same like for drag and drop editor)
+1 Ben
+1 on this. would be nice to send emails to a percentage of users to A/B test or just to do a soft launch of the email.
fyi.. i stopped paying b/c of lack of this feature.
Any update regarding A/B testing yet?
+1 for this! 6 years waiting.....

Cork City WFC have won the 2017 Continental Tyres FAI Women's Senior Cup Final thanks to a 1-0 win over UCD Waves at the Aviva Stadium today.
In a game of few chances, UCD Waves began the better side with the majority of possession in the opening half hour.
However, time and again the final ball didn't find it's target for the Dublin side.
The breakthrough came in the 35th minute with a wonderful goal from Cork.
Katie McCarthy picked up the ball in her own half, found Shine with a sublime ball over the top.
Brooke Dunne came out to narrow the angle but Shine brilliantly rounded the Waves keeper and slotted home.
Goal! Clare Shine gives Cork City the lead in the 35th minute! #WFAICupFinal pic.twitter.com/yEFVMcmEgW— FAIreland ⚽🇮🇪 (@FAIreland) November 5, 2017
UCD Waves' best chance came with ten minutes reamaining in the game. Cork goalkeeper Amanda Budden's clearance from the edge of her area landed at the feet of Catherine Cronin 40 yards from goal.
The winger took a touch before firing a fantastic lob over the stranded Budden only for it to go inches past the Cork post.
That was to be the last chance of the game as Cork held on for a famous win thanks to Player of the Match Clare Shine's goal, one worthy of winning any cup final.
Cork City: Budden, Burke, O'Brien, McNamara, Duncliffe, Bourque, O'Donovan (Dring 64), Noonan (O'Gorman 81), Sheehy, Shine, McCarthy.
Subs: Badana, Carry, Barrett, Desmond, O'Keeffe.

YK11, also known as Myostine, is considered one of the strongest SARMs on the market. In fact, it's so strong and has comparable anabolic activity to steroids that it may actually be a synthetic steroid that was mislabeled a SARM in the first place.
How it works
As a relatively new compound, exactly how YK11 works to improve lean muscle mass in humans can only be discussed based on intial in vitro studies.
However, what we do know is that YK11 may be a Myostatin blocker – essentially allowing users to reap continuous gains without stalling and requiring a break in a cycle.
Myostatin is a protein that is released to limit muscle growth to ensure they do not get 'too large'. It is found predominantly in skeletal muscle, and studies show that individuals with a gene mutation that limits Myostatin production are both stronger and more muscular than those with normal amounts.
YK11 may help to inhibit the production of Myostatin in muscles by attaching itself to the Androgen Receptor. From there, it may induce muscles to create more Follistatin, which in turn limits the levels of Myostatin, allowing increased muscle growth beyond genetic capability.
The confusion over whether Myostatin is a SARM or a steroid lies in the naming convetions (or lack thereof) in relation to newer compounds. Kanno, the original Japanese researcher, discovered that YK11 works via the androgen receptor, which is why he initially claimed it to be a SARM.
Newer research suggests that the backbone of YK11 is identical to those of steroids. In reality, we won't know for sure until more studies are conducted.
Dosing Recommendations
User reviews suggest that the ideal human dosage for YK11 is 2-5mg twice per day for eight weeks (a total of 5-10mg per day for men).
Anecdotally, some users suggest increasing the dosage to 20mg per day in total over the course of a cycle, although it's best to start at a lower dosage and find your sweet spot.
5-10mg total per day split into two doses.
0.5-2mg total per day split into two doses.
There have been quite a few anecdotal reports from users who have stacked YK11 with RAD140 with incredible results.
Users report increased strength and an increase in lean muscle mass similar to testosterone results but without the water bloat. It works great for users looking to bulk with lean, dry gains.
· RAD140 (Testolone) – 15-30mg

Best-selling author, Anita Waller, is back with a twisting, suspenseful and fast-paced read, perfect for fans of domestic noir.
When a gang of six children playing in their den in the woods spot a man burying drugs nearby, it marks the beginning of the end of their childhoods.
Unsure what to do, the children dig up the drugs and take them away. But when the dealer, who they watched bury the stash, shows up dead, the youngsters are thrown into turmoil.
Scared of what might happen, the children tell the police about the body they have discovered.
Meanwhile, a group of gangsters start searching for their missing drugs.
Soon the children and their families become the target of the vicious criminals who will stop at nothing to retrieve their narcotics…
My Review
Just when I thought Anita couldn't get any better and along comes Game Players.
The story line was so well written, you had laughter, tears, deaths and more tears.
There were plenty of twists and turns to keep you wanting to read more, there were edge of your seat moments as well as just wanting to give those kids a big hug because of what they were going through.
I have read all of Anita's books and I just want to keep reading more, I definitely recommend reading this and the rest of her books if you get a chance, you won't be disappointed.

If you are planning to transform the mood inside your home, using the exact amount of light can significantly improve the setting of each area of your home. Below are three types of lighting you must keep in mind when aiming to incorporate better lighting for your next house renovation.
Ambient Lighting
Ambient lighting can be found in chandeliers and other ceiling fixtures. This kind of lighting regulates the room's tone and overall lighting. Placing these ceiling fixtures in the middle of the room makes the space look bigger and it also gives a relaxed light setting. You can also use dimmers to regulate the room's level of brightness throughout the day.
Task Lighting
This kind of lighting delivers more brightness than the ambient furniture can offer so it can be used on an exact area where more illumination is needed. It provides concentrated lighting so it is best to use when you are reading or writing. It is also the best lighting to use when cooking. Task lighting is also the key to a brighter and bathroom. For your vanity area, position the task lighting above the mirror. In the same way, you can affix sconces on either side of your vanity mirror. A task lighting is likewise the perfect kind to use in your table lamps.
Accent Lighting
Accent lighting with the use of pendant lights is a way of giving a highlight into a particular area or an object such as paintings, sculptures, souvenirs, plants, and so on. This type of set up adds drama and elegance to your home. They are usually hung in high-ceilinged rooms as they add brilliance and visual attraction. They are often used in multiples, hung in a straight line in dining areas and kitchen counters.

Everybody — including Ben Eager — appears to be vowing to be on good behavior tonight. Players in both locker room talked about how you're going to have to just take a punch rather than retaliate should the situation arise.
So how hard is that going to be, Eager was asked. Not very, he answered.
"It goes without saying," Eager said. "You've got to take the punches at this time of the year and you've got to stay out of the box."
Eager should be under close scrutiny tonight, but he said he's not too worried about being able to play his game.
"I've been around long enough to know what they'll be watching and what they'll be looking for," he said. "I've got to be smart, just play my game and I'm not really thinking about it."
Would he prefer if if the refs put away their whistles a little more?
"Yeah, it is the conference finals and you'd like to see both teams get four lines going. I think it's better for the game, better for the fans, that up and down intensity," Eager said. "The whistles getting blown every 30 seconds, it slows the game down. I think the speed picks up when the play is rolling and hopefully we can get on with that."
So has he seen who will be officiating Game 3?
"I haven't checked," he said. "I think we'll be all right.
Brad Watson and Dan O'Rourke will be guys with the orange armbands tonight.
*****Sharks are not the only team contemplating lineup changes, odd only because teams on the right side of a 2-0 series usually stick with what got them to that point.
But Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said he was considering some changes that would be game-time decisions. And one should have Alexandre Bolduc in the lineup as fourth-line center instead of Cody Hodgson.
"Alex has good size, a real strong skater," Vigneault said of Bolduc, who has yet to play in the post-season. "We've seen him this year. He's played over 20 games with our team. He has that ability to get in on the forecheck, real strong skater, so… If we do make some changes, that's what he can bring."
Other possibility: Tanner Glass back in for Jeff Tambellini.
*****The 6 p.m. start on a Friday night poses potential parking problems as downtown workers may not have vacated the spaces usually filled by hockey fans. And the NHL puts increased security measures in place once the conference finals begin, so it might take a little more time than usual to enter HP Pavilion.
For both of those reasons, the Sharks are advising fans to leave extra early for tonight's game.

Bosch Projects was appointed by Johannesburg Social Housing Company (JOSHCO) as the electrical and mechanical consulting engineers for the 133 Albert Street Social Housing Project in Johannesburg.
The focus of this project – which utilises energy efficient designs – was to create quality public social housing, that complies with all legislative requirements and provides the inner-city populous with safe housing for single people, as well as small families.
Bosch Projects is responsible for the electrical, HVAC and fire designs, as well as security and lift specifications.
The biggest challenge of this project, is that it repurposes an existing, old office building and not the construction of a newly-designed, modern structure. One major challenge encountered was the location of the Point of Utility Connection (PUC) room that would belong to the local energy supplier. New regulations now allow only ground level PUCs rather than basement level, as ground level minimises the risk of flooding and pest damage. The ground level location also simplifies access to the PUC for installation and maintenance purposes. To reposition the PUC at ground level meant reshuffling the rooms and main services connection layouts for the ground and basement levels.
This project, which promises to uplift the local community by providing a safe living environment, is expected to be commissioned and ready for occupation by the end of the year

Development of Embodied Subitizing During Interactions with a Multi-Touch Digital Game
Abstract: Educational technology is often involved in children's learning, and subitizing—the immediate recognition of small quantities—is a foundation of arithmetic. Multi-touch technology can afford use of conceptually congruent gestures that match mathematics and support learning. Therefore, this study investigated a preschooler's development of physically embodied subitizing during interactions with a multi-touch digital game. Emergent findings related to embodied subitizing included patterns in estimation and precision, relationships among changing gestures, and variations in responses by configuration of quantity. The findings have implications for those whose research, teaching, and design efforts involve early number sense and educational technology.

L'Ile de la Cité is an island located in the center of Paris near Notre-Dame in the 4th arrondissement on the Seine. It attracts tourists from around the world who see it as the quintessence of Paris. It is above all an exceptional architectural ensemble of the oldest district of Paris, bringing together on the same site the two jewels of medieval French art: the Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame. The Ile de la Cité is also considered as the ancient cradle of Paris, formerly Lutece. Around 200 BC, while the great cities of Orient, Alexandria to Babylon, incarnate for millennia the tip of civilization, Gallic fishermen of the Parisis people plant their huts on the largest of the islands of the Seine. Fertile and rich in game and fish, making it easy to connect the two banks of the river, the island will quickly turn into a village, then in town: it is the birth of Lutece. On a sunny day, you can also go sunbathing at the square of the Ile de France, behind Notre Dame, which offers a beautiful view of Saint Louis Island. Specialized market flowers, birds, other small pets. Halfway between covered and open market, the flower market is made up of 1900s pavilions. It offers a large offer of flowers, plants and shrubs. It is open every day from 8h to 19h. The bird market is open only on Sundays and offers a wide variety of birds, cages, seeds and other accessories.
We propose serveral hotels near l'Ile de la Cité in Paris.

I'm developing app that will use 1065_0 PhidgetMotorControl in Unity3D.
This app will be on Android and I'm using Unity3D framework.
The easiest way will be to use Phidgets libraries .dll in Unity3D. But I think that will not work on Android because they need different access on serial ports.
Maybe there is any plugin for Unity3d that can use Phidgets Android Java libraries?
Does anyone have any experience in this area and give me idea how to resolve my problem?

James Ellsworth "Jimmy" Morris (December 11, 1984) is an American professional wrestler. He is most known for his time in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where he performs under the ring name James Ellsworth on the SmackDown brand. Morris has also competed on the independent circuit under the ring name "Pretty" Jimmy Dream. He was the founder of the company Adrenaline Championship Wrestling and worked with the company until shortly after he received a full-time contract from WWE.
Early life
Morris was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He trained under Axl Rotten.
Professional wrestling career
Independent circuit (2002–2016)
Throughout most of his career, Morris has performed on the independent circuit under the ring name "Pretty" Jimmy Dream, often as part of a tag team with Adam Ugly as Pretty Ugly. The duo have won several regional championships throughout the Northeastern United States, including American Combat Wrestling, Big Time Wrestling, and First State Championship Wrestling. Pretty Ugly debuted in 302 Pro Wrestling at their first show. In 2006, Morris made his Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) debut at CZW Tournament of Death V teaming with Drew Gulak on a losing end to BLKOUT (Ruckus and Robbie Mireno). Morris returned to CZW again in 2009, losing to Jon Dahmer in a battle royal. In 2009 at Covey Promotions All Or Nothing 3, Morris defeated Draven, Thomas Rodriguez and Crazii Shea in a four-way ladder match to become the Covey Promotions Cruiserweight Champion. Morris dropped the championship at CP Hot and Bothered 2009 to Crazii Shea. On June 4, 2016, Pretty Ugly won a tournament to be crowned the inaugural 302 Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions by defeating The Dub Boys and Riot City's Most Wanted in the tournament finals. Morris also runs a professional wrestling promotion known as Adrenaline Championship Wrestling, which was founded by Christopher Adonis in September 2009.
World Wrestling Entertainment / WWE
Early appearances (2014–2016)
Prior to his initial WWE run, Morris appeared a couple of times as one of Adam Rose's "Rosebuds" whenever the company came into the Baltimore area. Morris, as James Ellsworth, had his first WWE singles match on the July 25, 2016 episode of Raw as an enhancement talent, being quickly squashed by Braun Strowman. Ellsworth gained some praise and subsequently developed a cult following due to his meek appearance and enthusiastic pre-match promo, in which he declared that "any man with two hands has a fighting chance" before being easily defeated by Strowman.
Storyline with AJ Styles (2016–2017)
Ellsworth resurfaced in the main event of the September 13 episode of SmackDown Live as the mystery tag team partner for WWE World Champion AJ Styles against Dean Ambrose and John Cena, only to be attacked by Intercontinental Champion The Miz (his replacement in the actual match) as he walked down to the ring.
On the October 11 episode of SmackDown Live, Ellsworth was chosen by Styles as his opponent in a non-title match, but SmackDown general manager Daniel Bryan made Ambrose the special guest referee for the match, stating that Ambrose was to be treated with the same level of respect as a regular WWE referee and that if Styles put his hands on Ambrose, he would be disqualified and suspended. Ambrose favored Ellsworth during the match due to his rivalry with Styles, culminating in Ambrose attacking Styles and allowing Ellsworth to win. Ellsworth was granted a WWE World Championship match the following week on the October 18 episode of SmackDown Live, with Ambrose serving as the timekeeper and ring announcer. Ellsworth won the match by disqualification, but not the title. Ellsworth continued to be involved in Styles' rivalry with Ambrose, as he felt that he owed Ambrose a favor due to his support and aiding him in his matches with Styles, offering Ambrose assistance, but this backfired on the October 25 episode of SmackDown Live, when Ellsworth (at ringside to cheer Ambrose on during his match with Styles) accidentally cost Ambrose the match after executing No Chin Music on Styles, meaning Ambrose was disqualified. On the November 1 episode of SmackDown Live, Ellsworth would attempt to apologize to Ambrose, who would kick Ellsworth out of the building. Ellsworth would nonetheless interfere in the rematch, being chased around by security, distracting Styles and allowing Ambrose to win an opportunity for the title. SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon also named Ellsworth the SmackDown mascot for the 2016 Survivor Series match on the November 8 episode of SmackDown Live. During Survivor Series on November 20, Ellsworth hid under the ring and grabbed Braun Strowman's leg to prevent him from getting back in the ring, resulting in Strowman getting eliminated by countout; however, Strowman would proceed to chase Ellsworth up the ramp and put him through a table, injuring his neck. After legitimately signing a WWE contract, this was worked into a storyline on the 22 November episode of SmackDown Live, when Styles goaded the injured Ellsworth to face him in a ladder match for the right to be a SmackDown superstar with his contract suspended above the ring; Ellsworth agreed, but wanted another shot at the WWE World Championship should he win the match. That night, Ellsworth defeated Styles to win a SmackDown contract, due to Ambrose (who was given the night off) helping Ellsworth yet again.
On the 29 November episode of SmackDown Live, Ellsworth suffered a storyline injury after Styles interrupted his Ambrose Asylums segment with Ambrose, attacking both and delivering a Styles Clash to Ellsworth off the steel steps, which caused Ellsworth to be taken on a stretcher by medical personnel. This led Ellsworth interfering at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs during the Tables, Ladders and Chairs between Styles and Ambrose to help the latter, but he ended up helping Styles instead by pushing Ambrose off the ladder and sent him crashing through two tables, starting a turn into a villain character. Ellsworth explained that since he had already beaten Styles three times, he helped Styles because he wanted to defeat him again, this time for the WWE World Championship, a match SmackDown's commissioner Shane McMahon granted him for the following episode of SmackDown Live. Ellsworth also praised his own "brilliant strategy" to give Styles the title so his title match would be against Styles, who he had "beaten three times already", adding that Ambrose would have "done the same thing" and would "understand 'cause we go way back", also promising him an immediate shot at the title after he would defeat Styles, but Ambrose would instead end up giving him a Dirty Deeds.
This prompted Ellsworth trying to make it up with Ambrose by helping him defeat The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship on the December 6 episode of SmackDown Live, but his effort backfired and eventually cost Ambrose the match. Furthemore, Ellsworth's title opportunity was twice postponed, first due to Styles being legitimate injured, and the second time due to Ellsworth suffering from a kayfabe cold. The match eventually happened on the December 20 episode of SmackDown Live, during which Styles easily defeated Ellsworth in under a minute to end their storyline.
Relationship with Carmella and Departure (2017)
After he was defeated by AJ Styles, Ellsworth was seen by medical staff and was comforted by Carmella, who professed that she found him "sexily attractive" and also stated that size does not always matter. On January 3, 2017 episode of SmackDown Live, Ellsworth started accompanying Carmella to the ring for her matches, helping her win them; both appeared on Talking Smack the same night. At the Royal Rumble 2017 pay-per-view event on January 29, Ellsworth entered at number 11 and was quickly eliminated by Braun Strowman after being in the Royal Rumble match for 15 seconds. Throughout the months of January and February, Ellsworth appeared in various backstage segments with Carmella along with accompanying her to her matches, often helping Carmella win by distracting her opponents. At Elimination Chamber 2017 on February 12, Ellsworth appeared with Carmella watching the event from a luxury box. On the February 28 episode of SmackDown Live, Ellsworth and Carmella would confront John Cena and Nikki Bella during a backstage interview, where Cena and Bella would challenge Ellsworth and Carmella to a intergender tag team match for the next weeks episode of SmackDown Live, which Cena and Bella won. Ellsworth made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania 33 managing Carmella in the Six Pack Challenge for the Smackdown Women's Championship which was won by Naomi, notable during the match was Ellsworth taking a massive Bexploder Suplex from Becky Lynch. On November 15, 2017 WWE announced they had released James from his contract.
Return to the Independent circuit (2017-present)
After his release from WWE, Ellsworth debuted in Destiny World Wrestling on January 21, 2018 at DWW Carnage in a Three-Way match for the DWW Championship involving Austin Aries and the defending champion Pete Dunne. Both Ellsworth and Aries failed to win the title. He also entered and won the 1st Santino Cobra Cup Rumble match during the same DDW event. Sometime as early as February 2018, Ellsworth introduced the World Intergender Championship, a title he created and stated will be contested worldwide. Ellsworth debuted in Championship Wrestling From Hollywood during its February 11 CWFH taping in a title match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship held by Nick Aldis but failed to win the title. Six days later on February 17, Ellsworth debuted in Pennsylvania Premiere Wrestling at PPW Undisputed, where he lost to Sam Adams. Five days later on February 22, Ellsworth debuted in Bar Wrestling at Bar Wrestling 9: February Stars, where he defeated Joey Ryan. Two days later, Ellsworth debuted in Superstars Of Wrestling Federation during the February 24th edition of SWF. On March 10, Ellsworth debuted in Warriors Of Wrestling at WOW Fallout where he defeated Mike Law. On St. Patrick's Day, Ellsworth debuted in International Wrestling Cartel during the IWC Seventeen event where he won the IWC High Stakes Championship after defeating Gillberg. Before the end of the event, Ellsworth lost the title to Marshall Gambino in his first defense. On March 23, Ellsworth made a double-debut for Big Time Wrestling and Impact Wrestling at their BTW/Impact Wrestling event where he defeated Impact Wrestling star Trevor Lee. The next day during the BTW-Impact Wrestling One Night Only: Cali Combat event, Ellsworth scored a victory over Kal Jak (formerly known as Cal Bishop in WWE NXT). On April 6, Ellsworth's debut in Game Changer Wrestling occurred at GCW Joey Janela's Spring Break in a match lost to Matt Riddle. Two weeks later on April 22, Ellsworth debuted in Blitzkrieg Pro at Blitzkrieg Pro Bless The Rains Down In Enfield, where he officially introduced his World Intergender Championship in a match where he successfully defended it against Penelope Ford. Six days later, Ellsworth next debut was in Ultimate Championship Wrestling during the April 28th edition of UCW, where he successfully defended his World Intergender Championship against Maddison Miles.
Return to WWE (2018)
Ellsworth returned to WWE at Money in the Bank 2018 reuniting with Carmella and aiding in her victory over Asuka. On the July 3rd edition of Smackdown Live, Ellsworth faced Asuka in a match that resulted in a double count-out after Ellsworth fled the ring, drawing Asuka outside to give chase. During her pursuit of Ellsworth, Asuka was blindsided by Carmella. On the following week, Ellsworth was scheduled to face Asuka again, in a Lumberjill match, with the Smackdown Live women's roster surrounding the ring. Ellsworth however, received assistance from Carmella including being handed pepper spray that he attempted to use in blatant view of the referee. Despite his attempts to gain any advantage, Ellsworth lost after quickly submitting to the Asuka Lock. Once the match concluded, Ellsworth joined Carmella in a double team assault on Asuka including Carmella delivering a superkick to the head of Asuka. This caused Smackdown General Manager Paige to announce a rematch between Asuka and Carmella at Extreme Rules, will involve Ellsworth being suspended above the ring in a shark cage during the course of the match.
On July 24, 2018 during Smackdown Live General Manager Paige fired Ellsworth.

Morris resides in Glen Burnie, Maryland. He is a fan of The Offspring, having a tattoo of their logo on his left arm and the artwork of their 2008 album Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace on his right arm. Ellsworth has two daughters and a professional wrestler step-brother, Chris Nightmare.

The business of real estate and property management can be very difficult to manage if you don't define the niche you are; this is because, real estate isn't all about developing properties and reselling to potential buyers, it also entails sourcing and managing tenants on behalf of property owners, or acting as a middleman between interested parties who would like to execute high-ticket transactions for a commission.
These categories of real estate businesses require a different accounting system and financial reporting. For instance, accounting for a real estate broker requires effective recognition of commission income after deducting direct expenses like advertisement on dailies, or any other relevant direct cost. This is totally different from a real estate manager who is interested in tracking rental payment from tenants, receivables on overdue rent, remittance to property owners, service charge collections and maintenance fees.
As of this write-up, our team had just concluded QuickBooks setup for a fast-growing real estate developer in Lagos, Nigeria – they acquire a large expanse of land from families, clear the land and re-package the virgin land into an estate land, process the necessary papers like excision, survey, C of O and resell to interested buyers.
The whole essence of engaging us was to help design an automated accounting system that will track all cash inflow and direct cost on their various real estate projects so that they can ascertain the profitability of all real estate transactions.
Here Are Quick Tips On How We Deployed Quickbooks Starting With The Project Requirements:
- List of banks and their respective balances: every cash inflow from buyers on property purchases and payment to sub-contractors or service providers goes/come from the bank and such, we requested for a complete list of operating banks in local and/or foreign currencies so we upload to the Chart of Account and generate real-time bank statement.
- List of clients/customers and their receivable balance (including the properties on which these balances were owed): This is important for us as we weren't only interested in the client's receivable balances, but a simpler to segment their receivables by properties. In addition to the outstanding balances on property purchase, we also requested for pending payments on the survey, developmental fee and deed of assignments.
- List of real estate on offers: This is the key revenue driver of the real estate developer, so it makes sense to upload all the properties on sale and set them up in such a way that users can categorize all invoices and direct cost to properties.
- Sub-contractors/service providers and their payable balances: every land acquisitions come with clearance, dredging and construction of walls around it. These, in addition to other related expenses, are examples of direct cost incurred on these properties and when full payments aren't made to the sub-contractors, it leads to a payable balance which should be properly tracked until they are settled.
- Equity share capital: For real estate developers with an audited record of their previous financial year's transactions, it is easier to find the equity share capital of the owners, but for a growing business with unorganized record, QuickBooks compute a share capital that is equal to the net of assets over liabilities.
- Standard chart of accounts: Although, QuickBooks accounting software has default charts of account for different industries – a simple design that categories all your transactions to income, expenses, assets and liabilities. We always like to know whether the client already has existing charts with account codes.

Construction on the new Mitchell Elementary School is progressing as the concrete foundation and hollow core planks are now complete.
Crews have begun the erection of the structural steel and site paving is nearly complete.
The campus is one of four elementary schools — Braeburn, Mitchell, Scarborough, and Kolter — being rebuilt as a result of damages sustained in 2017 during Hurricane Harvey.
"Although Harvey tested our resiliency, it also created an opportunity for our community to be blessed with a new school for our very deserving students," Mitchell Principal Elizabeth Castillo said. "We are so eager as we watch the progress of our building. With the foundation being poured, we know that our Mitchell 3.0 will be a beacon of hope as we work to revitalize our community after Harvey."Continue reading

A 51 year old man with known gallstones presents feeling unwell with some dull epigastric ache, dark urine and pale stool.
Could it be choledocholithiaisis?
View 2

Describe and interpret these scans
Image 1: Transverse epigastric view fanning through the pancreas from superior to inferior.
The first abnormality one sees is the very dilated common bile duct (CBD). It is almost the same size as the aorta, and in this view you are viewing it transversely. As you fan down you see a rounded hypoechoic lymph node lying between the CBD and aorta. Then the CBD abruptly stops and a mass is seen in the head of the pancreas. It is relatively hypoechoic but solid.
Image 2: Gallbladder. The thin walled slightly distended gallbladder contains a large stone toward the neck and some dependent sludge. Deep to it is a rounded para aortic lymph node.
Image 3: Distal CBD in longitudinal section. The CBD is markedly dilated at 14mm (≤6mm in this age group). It can be seen to gradually taper before abruptly stopping. Normal pancreatic tissue is seen above it as homogeneous mid echogenic tissue. The more hypoechoic slightly coarser echo textured mass obstructing the duct is tumour. No CBD stone is present.
Image 4: Transverse view of the right lobe of the liver. There are multiple poorly defined heterogeneous lesions distorting the normal liver architecture. These are metastases.
Obstructive jaundice with pancreatic head tumour and liver metastases
An orderly technique is important in your approach to obstructive jaundice, or pathology will be missed.
Pancreas: I begin with the pancreas, imaging the head, body and tail in two planes. Measure the pancreatic duct if dilated, measure any focal abnormality. Look for para aortic lymphadenopathy.
Distal CBD: Find the distal CBD in the posterior part of the pancreatic head. It initially runs cranially and then turns toward the right shoulder. Trace it carefully searching for the cause of obstruction. In western society the most common intraluminal cause of obstruction is stones and sludge, and extraluminal cause malignancy of the pancreatic head, most usually pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Left and then right lobe of liver: Imaged in two planes, looking for intrahepatic duct dilation, tumour either primary or metastatic, or other abnormality. Again measure and document any abnormality noted.
Gallbladder: Imaged in two planes. Measure and characterize the GB wall thickness against the liver where it is most easily defined, and the measure the GB diameter if enlarged. Note GB content including stones or sludge, particularly noting any stones in the neck or cystic duct, and if they are mobile. Note tenderness to probe pressure. Now the mid and proximal CBD are examined and measured searching again for stones or extrinsic compression.
Positioning: Rolling the patient onto their left side can assist if imaging has not been ideal.

Superior Court of Maine, Lincoln
June 13, 2017
WILLARD PIERPONT, Plaintiffv.TOWN OF SOMERVILLE, Defendant
Willard Pierpont appeals pursuant to Maine Rule of Civil
Procedure 8 OB from a decision by the Town of Somerville
Board of Appeals. The Court elects to decide the appeal
without oral argument. See M.R. Civ. P. 80B(1) (oral argument
to be scheduled "[u]nless the court otherwise
is the owner of a parcel of land in the Town of Somerville,
Maine (the "Town"). (R. 8:1.) The Town adopted a
Land Use Ordinance ("LUO") in 2012. (R. 8:3.)
At the
time the Town adopted the LUO, Plaintiff was engaged in
"gravel extraction, gravel processing (power screening)
and hauling gravel" on his land. (R. 8:3.) The parties
agree that these activities were "grandfathered" as
a lawful nonconforming use of Plaintiffs land.[1](Pl.'s Br. 2,
5; Def.'s Br. 1, 2; R. 8:1, 4.)
August 7, 2016, the Town's Code Enforcement Officer
("CEO") issued Plaintiff a Notice of Violation/Stop
Work Order ("NOV") on the ground that Plaintiff had
commenced rock crushing and blasting in violation of the
(R. 8:1.) Plaintiff timely appealed the NOV to the Town's
Board of Appeals ("BOA") on the ground that his
recent activities were within the scope of his nonconforming
use. (R. 3, 8:1.) The CEO submitted a written response to
Plaintiffs appeal. (R. 4, 8:2.)
The BOA
held a public hearing on Plaintiffs appeal on October 6 and
November 4, 2016. (R. 8:2-3; 10.) Plaintiff, the CEO, and the
BOA were each represented by counsel. Plaintiff, the CEO, and
members of the public spoke on October 6; Plaintiff and his
witness, John Lavin P.E., spoke on November 4. (R. 8:2-3;
10.) On November 17, 2016, the BOA issued Findings of Fact
and Conclusions of Law (the "Decision") denying
Plaintiffs appeal and affirming the CEO's enforcement
decision. (R. 8.) Plaintiff timely filed the pending appeal.
reviewing the decision of a municipal agency pursuant to
Maine Rule of Civil Procedure 80B, the Court reviews the
decision "for abuse of discretion, errors of law, or
findings not supported by the substantial evidence in the
record." Wyman v. Town of Phippsburg, 2009 ME
77, ¶ 8, 976 A.2d 985 (internal quotation marks and
citation omitted). "Substantial evidence" is
evidence that a reasonable mind would accept as sufficient to
form a conclusion, even when the evidence would also support
a contrary conclusion. Sproul v. Town of Boothbay
Harbor, 2000 ME 30, ¶ 8, 746 A.2d 368. The party
seeking to vacate the municipal agency's decision bears
the burden of persuasion on appeal. Bizier v. Town of
Turner, 2011 ME 116, ¶ 8, 32A.3dl048.
interpretation of local ordinances is a question of law that
the Court reviews de novo. Rudolph v. Golick, 2010
ME 106, ¶ 8, 8 A.3d 1048. The Court examines ordinances
for their plain meaning and construes the terms of the
ordinances reasonably "in light of the purposes and
objectives of the ordinance and its general structure."
Id. ¶ 9. The Court must give the words in the
ordinance their "plain and ordinary meaning" and
must not construe the ordinance "to create absurd,
inconsistent, unreasonable, or illogical results."
Duffy v. Town of Berwick, 2013 ME 105, ¶ 23, 82
A.3d 148 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). If
the meaning of an ordinance is clear on its face, the Court
looks no further. Rudolph, 2010 ME 106,
¶ 9, 8 A.3d 684.
does not deny that he partook in rock crushing and blasting
on his land. Instead, Plaintiff argues that rock crushing and
blasting fall within the scope of his lawful nonconforming
The BOA
"has discretion in determining whether an activity is
within the scope of a permitted, nonconforming use."
Leake v. Town of Kittery, 2005 ME 65, ¶ 7, 874
A.2d 394 (quoting Henickv. Town of Mechanic Falls,
673 A.2d 1348, 1349 (Me. 1996)). Although "[i]n general,
a mere increase in the intensity or volume of business is not
an unlawful expansion of a preexisting, nonconforming use,
" if a use is new or "of a different
character" than the preexisting nonconforming use, it
"can be proscribed by a zoning ordinance."
Boivin v. Sanford, 588 A.2d 1197, 1199 (Me. 1991).
"[A] questioned use may not be grandfathered if it fails
to reflect the nature and purpose of the preexisting,
nonconforming use, if it is different in quality or character
as well as in degree, or if it is different in kind in its
effect on the neighborhood where it is located."
on Plaintiffs statements at hearing, the BOA concluded that
since the 1990s, Plaintiff "has engaged in gravel
extraction, gravel processing (power screening) and hauling
gravel" on his land but that "he did not conduct
blasting of rock or rock crushing on the Property prior to
the adoption of the LUO." (R. 8:3.) Applying the
above-stated three part test, the BOA concluded that (1) rock
crushing and blasting reflect the "nature and
purpose" of Plaintiffs legal nonconforming use because
both uses are "extractive"; (2) rock crushing and
blasting are different in quality, character, and degree from
Plaintiffs legal nonconforming use because "blasting and
crushing are active processing methods that are different
activities, which were not being conducted before the
adoption of the LUO"; and (3) rock crushing and blasting
are not different in kind from Plaintiffs legal nonconforming
use in effect on the neighborhood because the BOA
"received no evidence of such differences." (R.
8:5.) Because it found that rock crushing ...

Satin is largely floats and that's why it's so smooth; the floats are only caught down occasionally. While twill is based on short floats that are slightly offset with each repeat, giving it the diagonals it's famous for (think of denim). In a way, plain weave is the odd structure out for having no floats at all!
While satin and twill are structures, not patterns, a lot of "colour and weave" patterns use floats to give different effects. Here is one of my favourites – pinwheels – where the curvy, spinning effect is created with a few well-placed floats.
Keep in mind that the longer the floats, the less stable the structure of the cloth will be and the more subject to abrasion. Also, the more likely that baby's fingers/toes and other things can catch on them.
