Navy Probe to Decide Future of Fired US Carrier Commander
Even as he is hailed as a hero by his crew, the fired commander of a coronavirus-stricken U.S. aircraft carrier is being reassigned while investigators consider whether he should face disciplinary action, acting U.S. Navy Secretary Thomas Modly told Reuters on Friday.Captain Brett Crozier was relieved of his command of the Theodore Roosevelt on Thursday after a scathing letter in which he called on the Navy for stronger action to halt the spread of the virus aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was leaked to the media.Modly said in an interview that the letter was shared too widely and leaked before even he could see it.
Bollinger Delivers USCGC Harold Miller
Bollinger Shipyards on Thursday delivered the USCGC Harold Miller to the U.S. Coast Guard in Key West, Fla. This is the 161st vessel Bollinger has delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard over a 35 year period and the 38th Fast Response Cutter delivered on the current program. The USCGC Harold Miller is the third of three FRCs to be home-ported in Galveston, Texas. "We are very proud to announce our latest FRC delivery, especially given the unprecedented times and challenges which we're facing as a nation," said Bollinger President & C.E.O. Ben Bordelon.
Lubrication Selection Fundamentals
As an operator of vessels, you understand that lubricants play an important role in helping you achieve your operational objectives. Yet, finding the right one can be overwhelming since there's an almost unlimited number of different lubricant formulations. An understanding of lubrication chemistry, performance expectations and operational objectives will help you select a lubricant that will improve operations and lower your overall costs.Lubrication benefitsThe basic function of a lubricant is to reduce friction by separating interacting surfaces. In operation, a lubricating oil or lubricating grease is applied to the surface and monitored for effectiveness.

Success can seem unattainable to those starting out. It's easy to forget that even the biggest sellers started from zero.
Amanda Hocking didn't arrive on the scene as a fully formed sales machine. She didn't have a platform which she had been diligently building up for years, nor did she come from trade publishing. She was unable to convince an agent to take her on and decided to self-publish instead, and then sold a million e-books in nine months!
Detractors tried to paint Hocking as an anomaly — and she was, in the sense that anyone who is phenomenally successful at anything is an anomaly.
But that missed the point: she was able to sell as much as the biggest names in publishing without the help of a publisher.
Soon, others followed suit. Authors like Bella Andre, Hugh Howey, HM Ward, Liliana Hart, and Barbara Freethy have sold millions of e-books…

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Says Staffing Company and Sony Fired Employee From Temporary Job Because of Her Prosthetic Leg
CHICAGO - The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a disability discrimination lawsuit today against Staffmark Investment LLC and Sony Electronics, Inc., alleging that they terminated a woman with a prosthetic leg because of her disability, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
According to John P. Rowe, the EEOC's district director in Chicago who oversaw the EEOC's administrative investigation, the EEOC found reasonable cause to believe that Staffmark and Sony fired Shanks because of her prosthetic leg. Staffmark, a staffing agency, assigned Dorothy Shanks to work on a temporary job for Sony at Ozzy Hessey Logistics' (OHL) facility located in Romeoville, Ill. Sony uses OHL laborers to package and/or inspect Sony products that are being shipped out. Despite the fact that she was working in the OHL facility, Shanks's supervisors were all Sony employees, who were also located at the OHL facility.
On Shanks's second day of employment on the Sony job, a Staffmark employee told her that she was being removed from her assignment because they did not want anyone bumping into her, and that Staffmark would find her another assignment where she could sit. Staffmark never sent Shanks to work on any other job assignments even though Shanks repeatedly called Staffmark seeking work.
The EEOC filed suit under the ADA after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement with Staffmark and Sony through EEOC's conciliation process. The case, EEOC v. Staffmark Investment LLC and Sony Electronics, Inc, N.D. Ill. No. 12-cv-9628, was filed on Dec. 4, 2012, in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. Supervisory Trial Attorney Diane Smason and Trial Attorney Ann Henry will litigate the case on behalf of the EEOC.
"The ADA requires that individuals with disabilities be judged on their ability to perform the essential functions of the job, with or without a reasonable accommodation," said Rowe. "Ms. Shanks performed her job with no difficulty, but was fired because of unjustified fears about her having a prosthetic leg. Firing employees because of baseless fears and stereotypes about their disabilities is illegal, and the EEOC will defend the victims of such unlawful conduct."
"Staffing agencies cannot avoid liability for discrimination by saying they were just following an employer-client's orders, nor can employers avoid liability by saying the victim was 'really employed' by their staffing agency," said John Hendrickson, the EEOC's regional attorney in Chicago. "It's a pretty good bet that a worker with a prosthetic leg is always going to be protected by the ADA, and an equally good bet that flat-out firing the worker for that reason is going to violate the law. This scenario should not be all that difficult for employers to avoid. If they don't, the EEOC will be there to make things right."
According to the company website, Staffmark is one of the top ten commercial staffing companies in the United States, with more than 300 offices in 30 states. Sony Electronics, Inc. is the largest component of Sony Corporation of America, the U.S. holding company for Sony's electronics and entertainment business.
The EEOC's Chicago District Office is responsible for processing discrimination charges, administrative enforcement and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

Have your phone listen around while you enjoy your music or movies!
*This is the paid Pro version with no ads, better battery life and more features than the free version *
Around Sound Pro allows you to listen to music or watch movies and still be aware of your surroundings.
What it does:
*PRO Version ONLY* Street Mode:
+Walk down the street and only hear the noises above the set trigger level. Never interrupts your music.
Pause Mode:
+Uses your headset's microphone to listen for loud noises and pause your music or movie if one is detected, then play back the sound that triggered the pause and continues for a short period of time the optionally resumes your music or movie.
Non-Pause Mode:
+Uses your headset's microphone to listen for loud noises and dips your music volume if one is detected, then play back the sound that triggered the pause and continues for a short period of time then returns music to regular volume.
Bluetooth Mic Option:
Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind
As seen on ★Lifehacker★:
Where would I use it?
+At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention
+At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs
+At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start
+Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you
Best to use with:
Sound isolating earbud headphones with mic
- These are practically earplugs now, so don't miss out on what's around you.
You can use it with just headphones but be aware the microphone used is now your phone. So leaving it in your pocket wouldn't work so well.
How to use:
Make sure your headset is plugged in.
Simply start the app, push Start, see the noise level around you, set the trigger level by using your finger to swipe the meter, hit the home button to access your music app and enjoy.

Hi all,
I am porting a little project I did in Processing PDE (Processing.org) into Eclipse because I want to use full Java functionalities. For those who dont know Processing is a Java based language...pratically speaking it consists of libraries to build 2D/3D interactive graphics and animations.
The processing.core package contains all processing classes, and I 've imported and built it within my Eclipse project. The PApplet class is the one that contains most of functionalities of Processing. Here is a link with documentation Generated Documentation (Untitled) .
Now in the Processing PDE when I create multiple classes, they are all treated as "inner classes," meaning they are not individual entities unto themselves, but rather are classes inside of the larger PApplet. This is causing lot of confusion for me now and I don't know how to treat and link all classes together.
It would br great if someone could have a look and explain me how to correct all errors I get. This is the project file with all classes and libraries http://www.designedbyenergy.com/site/myproject.zip
In addition, one thing that is not clear to me is to make a global variable accessible to all classes within the Project. Where do I declare global variables? How can I access them from all classes?

James Ashley Grimditch graduated in Fine Art from Kingston University in 2009. Primarily an abstract painter, his self-taught style spirals from an early interest in automatic art. 'I remember during my time at school there was a memorable moment that changed the way I perceived art. One particular book was being passed around class, the name on the front said 'Howard Hodgkin'. Before seeing his work I had a fairly stiff impression of what a drawing or a painting should look like. To have the complete focus on colour rather than a familiar object or person or something real, abstraction essentially, it really blew me away.'

NCYC alert: The CFCA treadmills are back!
The National Catholic Youth Conference (or NCYC, as it is more commonly known) is a three-day event, full of prayer, fun and oh, did we mention, 20,000 high school students. The biennial conference comes to Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 19-21, and CFCA is excited to be at NCYC again this year.
Back to the treadmills, two years ago, NCYC participants were invited by CFCA to walk on treadmills to raise money for students living in poverty. This year, we're doing it again.
We're hosting an interactive exhibit (Exhibit 9) in the Reign Forest where students can learn more about sponsorship, watch videos of students around the world and walk on treadmills to raise money toward the sponsorship of Walk with the Poor students.
To top it off, CFCA sponsor and Colorado high school student Sami Freese, 17, will deliver a key-note address at the Saturday general session for all NCYC attendees. We can't wait!
At NCYC 2007, youth walked a total of 2,234 minutes on the treadmills. This year, while they walk, they'll get to watch this video of Sami telling about why she sponsors through CFCA.

CAREERS AND ED For most of the working world, cardboard represents little more than a recyclable material, something to hold your pizza. But to Jutiki Gunter, cardboard is a construction material with near-limitless potential.
Gunter, founder of Robotics for Fun (www.roboticsforfun.com), an Oakland-based robotics retailer and workshop, can seemingly build anything out of it. He can then take that anything and program it to move on its own. After that, in an exhibition of what is arguably his most impressive talent, he can teach you to do the same.
All it requires is some digestible training, an easy-to-assemble kit, and a bit of imagination. And while Robotics for Fun offers popular adult workshops, it's the youth program that stands out. "My goal has always been to teach kids what I learned at a professional level," said Gunter, who holds degrees from Cornell and Harvard in architecture. "If we can introduce them to those concepts early, they'll be able to move things much further along."
Dominating the entryway inside Robotics for Fun are dozens of colorful home-cut creations hanging on the walls. A scorpion is proudly displayed next to a penguin perched near an owl. An alligator sits beside a pterodactyl, flanked by a frog, shark, and rhino. The taxidermy-like display might seem morbid if these animal-like cardboard creations didn't also come to life robotically. But nearly all of them do — and their little Dr. Frankensteins are usually fresh out of kindergarten.
"We've found that the kids can understand it conceptually as young as six, but they can't really retain the information younger than that," said Gunter. "By six, seven, eight, they can do the projects."
Those projects start off simple: Most of the beginning classes center on preconstructed "kits" that are made in-house, composed of either Lego pieces or cardboard. The students conceptualize the project, construct the model, then do the requisite programming and circuitry to mobilize their robot, if the model they're working on is capable of handling motorization.
But in the advanced classes, things get more intricate. And far more creative. "We used to work with Legos, but once the kids started wanting to make their own designs, we started showing them how to make robots out of cardboard, so they could learn to prototype and create any piece that they want."
Results: awesome. Students have built climbing "rescue robots," artificially intelligent vacuum cleaners, rovers that run on auto-pilot, even a car-like vehicle that can travel within a 30 mile radius at 15 miles an hour.
Gunter manufactures the parts onsite. His supply room is one part artist's studio, one part Silicon Valley. Prototype robots lie about half-realized; sketchbooks lie open atop a workbench revealing dreams in the process of actualization, computer code sharing the same page as hastily drawn lines.
Behind the workbench is his most important piece of equipment: an Epilog Legend EXT laser system. The laser-etcher is necessary to create parts with the precision robotics require, and the process itself looks like a microscopic manifestation of the laser-obsessed Archimedes.
The fewer limitations Gunter has when it comes to what he can do, the fewer limitations the kids have when it comes to creation. And for Gunter, fewer limitations is what this is all about. "We're teaching kids skills here that they're not even learning in first year college, and why not? They love it, they have the ability to do it, they have the capacity to understand it. Of course, we want to give kids a fun experience. But my real, ideal goal is to give them advanced skills at a young age and see what they can do with it.""

Prom 45: São Paulo Symphony Orchestra
The Proms debut of the Brazilian ensemble
With the strains of Villa-Lobos and the samba giving London a taste of Brazil at the Olympics closing ceremony, the scene was set for a Proms first. The São Paulo Symphony Orchestra made its UK debut at the Royal Albert Hall last week, with their new chief conductor Marin Alsop, who took over the helm of the 48-year-old ensemble earlier this year.
An American feast, with music from both North and South, the Prom opened with Dvořák's New World Symphony, a piece Alsop recorded to great acclaim in 2008 with her previous ensemble, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. As then, this was a detailed, straightforward account. There was seriousness of purpose – well, this is a Symphony in that stark key of D minor – and not a hint of sentimentality. Perhaps that was what was missing on this occasion: some warmth in the Largo, with its eloquently shaped but questionably tuned cor anglais solo, would have been welcome, as would more spirited abandon in the dancing rhythms. The wind was sometimes ragged. Still, the strings had a polished, silvery sound, with crisp attack; the brass was impactful.
While the first half felt disappointingly flat, it was clear from the confident, loud timpani and brass that opened the second half that the musicians had returned to the stage with new energy and focus. Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man was paired with American composer Joan Towers's less-familiar Fanfare the Uncommon Woman of 1986, written for the same forces: both were performed with panache.
And then we were into the South American section of the programme, featuring works by Villa-Lobos and Ginastera. Not that this signaled a turn to a lively party atmosphere along the lines of some Proms by fellow South American Orchestra, the Simón Bolívar: while both might have the exciting and purposeful mission to put themselves on the map alongside the world's greatest orchestras, São Paulo seems to be taking a more straight-faced approach.
Villa-Lobos's Momoprécoce conjures up the world of a children's carnival in Rio. Its delicate orchestral effects, with ethereal string harmonics and dark colours, seem more akin to Ravel and Berg than the bold, vivid colours you might associate with a Brazilian festival. Moments are enchanting but, somehow, the overall impression seems less than the sum of it parts. Nelson Freire was the distinguished piano soloist, although from my stalls seat his masterful yet nuanced playing was sadly overpowered by the orchestra.
Ginastera's Estancia, a riotous piece with propulsive rhythms, showed off what this orchestra can do. Alsop sashayed on the podium; the musicians on stage powered through the vibrant score in heady fashion; the audience revelled in it all, and we were rewarded with two encores. Let's hope this orchestra returns to the Proms: how this promising partnership develops will be fascinating to hear.

001. Have such an amazing day planned for Thursday in London, But I cant really tell you right now whats going down! Hating all the secrecy but you will more than likely find out on Tuesday whats going on, as something super exciting is happening then too! I know I've said this before but I am truly and sincerely grateful for the opportunities you guys have given me by being so supportive of my blog. Without you choosing to follow my blog I really wouldn't have experienced some of the things I have in the past two years.
002. Trying to sort out moving to London STILL, but nothings really falling into place like I hoped. I obviously didn't make it to London last week because of my eye (which is SO much better! thanks everyone for your kind words!) and I'm not sure about the person I was going to live with as she's decided she wanted to live elsewhere. My goal was to be out by the end of this month, its still looking hopeful I just really need to push for it now! I definitely need to be living in London for Fashion Week (gosh its come round so soon!)
003. I styled my hair very roughly with the Babyliss Conical Wand that I posted about on my other blog. I actually really like the effect, nice soft curls without being those horrible ringlets you get from most curling irons! Very pleased with it!
004. There is still 20% off in my shop until Monday night using "WEEKEND"! The fives are sold out but are on pre-order which you can get the extra money off with if you dont mind waiting. I am running out of a lot of stock at the moment but as Im planning on moving I really don't want to get too much stock in because I think I'll be shutting the shop while I move and settle in! Everything ordered last week will FINALLY be sent on Monday! Apologies if you've had to wait! They sent my envelopes to the wrong house!

We do not choose to be born...We do not--most of us, choose to die, or the times or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live--Courageously or in cowardice, Honorably or dishonorably, With purpose or adrift. We decide what is important and what is trivial. What makes us significant is what we DO, Or REFUSE TO DO. WE DECIDE and WE CHOOSE--and so we give definition to our lives.

This is one way my students practice their popcorn words (a.k.a. sight words that "pop" up all of the time). I call it Pokey Pins and all you need is a soft surface (rug, foam) and push pins and your students can go from this:
to this:
As an added bonus, it is an excellent activity for the kiddos little hand muscles and always a classroom favored activity. Try it this year with your students!

If you have received notification from the Office of Student Financial Aid that you were awarded a Federal Perkins Loan, visit the Account Analyst Area in the Office of the Controller to sign your promissory note.
The information contained here is designed to answer general questions concerning your Federal Perkins Loan and provide a brief overview of the benefits available to borrowers.
Federal Perkins Loans are low-interest, long-term loans made through the university to help finance post-secondary educational costs. These loans are funded through matching funds from the federal government and Indiana State University. Although this is a federal loan, all payments are made directly to Indiana State University. By paying back your loan, you enable other students to receive new loans to fund their education. All Perkins Loans are reported to credit bureaus from your first disbursement to the time you pay the loan in full.
The Account Analysts are here to help you at any time during the life of your loan. Please contact us in Parsons Hall, Room 100, or by phone (812) 237-3511 if you have any questions or concerns with your loan. Please also contact the Account Analysts if your personal information changes (e.g., withdraw from the University, transfer, drop below half-time enrollment, name change, Social Security Number change, address change, join the military, etc.).
Entrance Interview
Exit Interview
Grace Period
Benefits for a Perkins Loan
Delinquent Loans
You must complete an Entrance Interview prior to receiving each disbursement of your Perkins Loan. Your loan will not disburse without it! You will receive important loan information during this interview. Entrance Interviews are done at the Account Analyst windows in Parsons Hall, Room 100. Please bring 2 references with different addresses than yours and parent contact information with you to the entrance interview.
Prior to graduating or leaving the university, you must complete an Exit Interview for your Perkins Loan. The Account Analysts will once again go over the benefits and responsibilities of your loan. Exit Interviews are completed at the Account Analyst windows. Information regarding your Exit Interview will be e-mailed to you prior to graduation.
The interest rate is 5% fixed and is charged on the unpaid principle balance of your loan.
You will receive a 9-month grace period that begins when you cease enrollment or drop below half-time status. Half-time status (determined by the Office of Registration and Records) is 6 credit hours for undergraduate students and 5 credit hours for graduate students.
Repayment of your loan begins when the grace period expires. The amount of your monthly payment will depend on the total amount that you have borrowed. This amount will be furnished to you during your exit interview.
There are various types of Perkins Loans depending on the date of the first disbursement. Each type has different benefits available to borrowers. You may qualify for a deferment of principle and/or interest. There are also numerous types of cancellations available to borrowers. If you qualify, the federal government will cancel a portion of your loan each year until your loan is paid in full.
Please contact the Account Analysts at (812) 237-3511 or visit them in Parsons Hall, Room 100, or check your promissory note for the types of cancellations available to determine if the federal government will pay your loan in full.
Delinquent loans are first assigned to our in-house collections department. We realize that there are many circumstances that may make it difficult for you to pay on your loan. There are many ways to avoid defaulting on your student loan. Contact the Account Analysts in Parsons Hall, Room 100, or by phone at (812) 237-3511 to see if a deferment is right for you. Don't risk ruining your credit! Students with delinquent loans may lose all rights to eligible benefits and are reported to national credit bureaus. Again, you have options!

Another Grammar Post?
At first I was shocked, then amused, and then teacher mode kicked in. Frantically I searched the gas station for someone with a cellphone who could take a picture for me. No such luck. I even waited for a few minutes to see if someone would pull up who could help me with my future grammar lesson. The only people who pulled up were the landscaping crew from up the street. No cellphones.
What's a grammar teacher to do? Well, drive home, get her camera, and drive back to take the picture, of course! At this point you're either shaking your head or, like my mother, just outright laughing at me. That's fine. I can take it. I've got big shoulders. And somehow I will work this photo into my curriculum next year. In fact, I'd like to ask for your help. If you find an advertisement or billboard or street sign with an error, please take a picture of it for me. You can either email it to me at email@example.com or add it to the group I've created on Flickr. Follow this link to the group's page, Stop the Grammar Madness. How's that for a catchy title?
But on to this morning's find.
I'm hoping that any one of my seventh graders could tell you what's wrong with sentence number one. That's right, even a seventh grader can tell you how to spell "available." Perhaps I should suggest to Chevron that they hire a few of my students as proofreaders. Just a thought.
On to error number 2. Now, unless they are actually planning on adding armor to your tires, I would suggest that they make "ArmorAll" one word and, to be completely accurate, they should also add the "registered trademark" after ArmorAll (you know, the little circle with the "R" in it). I'm sure the ArmorAll folks would appreciate it.
So, in your travels this summer, if you happen to spot an errant apostrophe, a glaring misspelling, or, heaven forbid, poor grammar, please take a picture of it and send it to me. Let us band together and say "Stop the Grammar Madness!"

I don't think the first is a grammar mistake.

Actually, it appears that "ArmorAll" is the stylistic appearance rather than the spelling. The products page at their website has a title of "Armor All® - Exterior Products" and the company in the copyright notice is "The Armor All/STP Products Company" (http://www.armorall.com/products/exterior/).

Seriously, if I took photographs every time I found a mistake 'out there' I'd never be able to do anything else...they're everywhere! Apostrophes are the worst.
- July 2, 2008 at 2:10 AM
This is a great idea to collect errors in advertisements to use in teaching. I'll keep a lookout. Could we also link to examples others have found already and collected on Web sites? I've saved a couple on diigo. I'll have to search diigo and share with you.
- July 2, 2008 at 1:36 PM
This is great :-) I'll try to keep my camera close by to get pics for you - how about screenshots of websites, do those count too? I'll send them your way!

I probably see misspellings and grammar errors on a daily basis and my husband just rolls his eyes when I point them out. He can't believe how I find them all of the time but I try to tell him that they really find me because they jump out at me! Thanks for sharing this!

The Route of the Jerte Valley
The Jerte Valley
The Jerte Valley
Mirabel Palace. Plasencia
- Autonomous region: Extremadura
- Province/Island: Cáceres
- Type of route:
- Gastronomy
Amid the snow and the white flowering cherry trees
When spring awakes, the Jerte valley in the province of Cáceres is transformed into a spectacular display of light and colour. Every year, the flowering of the cherry trees which clothe the sloping sides of the valley attracts an ever greater number of visitors. Starting from the historic and noble city of Plasencia, we can take a tour of some of the magical and fascinating towns and villages along the route.
It's a good idea to set aside a whole weekend for this route. One idea would be to spend the first day exploring the city of Plasencia, and the second to touring the Jerte valley. It's well worth making your visit coincide with the 10 days of the flowering of the sea of cherry trees covering the slopes of the valley. Depending on the weather, this phenomenon tends to occur between the second fortnight in March and the first week of April. It is a spectacular display of nature and colour. But let's return to Plasencia. This monumental city is the capital of northern Extremadura (located in the heart of the Silver Route), and in mediaeval times was home to moriscos (converted Muslims), Jews and Christians, until it was reconquered from the people of Al-Andalus by the kings of León in the 12th century. Part of its walls and gateways still can still be seen. There are two cathedrals: the old cathedral, in the Romanesque-Gothic style (13th-14th century), and right beside it the new cathedral (16th century), in the Renaissance and Plateresque styles. This last building was the work of some of the best artists and craftsmen in Spain at the time: architects such as Diego de Siloé, Alonso de Covarrubias, Juan de Álava, Enrique Egas, Francisco de Colonia and Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón; Gregorio Fernández and Francisco de Rizi, among others, worked on the altar. The magnificent choir stalls are the work of Rodrigo Alemán. Plasencia has many more surprises in store. Churches dating from Romanesque times (13th century) such as those of San Nicolás and El Salvador; Gothic churches such as that of the convent of the Dominicos (15th century); examples of the Renaissance and Baroque styles such as the shrine of the Virgin of El Puerto (17th century); palaces, like the Marquis of Mirabel palace (Gothic-Renaissance, 15th century); manor houses, like the Carvajales-Girón house (Renaissance), and even a Roman aqueduct. On our second day, for our visit to the Jerte valley we need to take the N-110 road which follows the valley from south to north. After about 14 kilometres, a turning to the left takes us to two villages perched on the slopes of the Montes de Trasierra: El Torno (2.4 kilometres away), famous for its brandies and cherry liqueurs (kirsch), and Rebollar (4 kilometres away). We return to the N-110 and continue until we reach another local detour on the opposite side of the valley. We climb into the mountains of Tormantos until we come to Valdastillas (3 kilometres outside Rebollar), Cabrero, Casas del Castañar and Piornal, all villages with interesting popular architecture in a setting of cherry orchards and fruit trees. Piornal, the highest village in Extremadura, is famous for its Jarramplas Festival (19 and 20 January). We continue on up the valley. Now we can make out –this time in the centre of the valley on the banks of the Jerte river– the villages of Navaconcejo (10 kilometres from Piornal), Cabezuela del Valle and Jerte. These villages all contain farmsteads which are splendid examples of the traditional mountain-style architecture, particularly Cabezuela del Valle, which has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site. Jerte itself is the gateway to the Garganta de los Infiernos nature reserve. This is one of the numerous nature areas in the region, and has an abundance of streams, waterfalls, natural pools and wetland forests. We then come to Tornavacas, the last of the villages in the valley. It stands at the foot of the mountain pass of Tornavacas, the long-established route for the passage of people and cattle between Castile and Extremadura: it is also the traditional path of the annual cattle migrations. Of particular note is the Baroque parish church of La Asunción (17th century). This visit can be extended to include excursions to the regions of Ambroz and La Vera. The region of Ambroz is home to the village of Hervás (with one of the best conserved Jewish quarters surviving in Spain), the ruins of the convent of La Bien Parada (in Abadía) and the remains of the ancient Roman city of Cáparra (Oliva de Plasencia-Guijo de Granadilla). In the region of La Vera, places worth visiting include the Yuste Monastery, the last residence of the Emperor Charles V. Another good way of way of enjoying this route is to take part in some of its popular festivities. The festival of the Flowering Cherry takes place every year in a different town in the Jerte valley, and is timed to coincide with the flowering of the cherry trees (between the second fortnight in March and the first week of April approximately). In addition, the gastrononic events revolving around picota cherry are held between May and June. Finally it is also well worth catching the Festival of El Martes Mayor (Plasencia), which every year features a mediaeval market on the first Tuesday in August.

"A Reason for Continuing to Exist…!!" (在り続ける理由!!, Aritsuzukeru Wake!!, Viz: My Reason for Living…!!) is chapter 97 of the original Naruto manga.
Naruto and Shikamaru ask why Gaara would want to kill Lee, but Gaara has no particular reason. They point out that, being two-against-one, they have the advantage, but Gaara is unconcerned and promises to kill them too. Gaara explains that he contains a monster, his mother's life having been sacrificed at his birth to seal a demon within him and give him control over sand. In the years that followed Gaara's father tried to have him assassinated to repent for making him what he is, but Gaara killed all of his attackers. His life having been surrounded by death, he finds love by killing others. While similar, both having something sealed within them, Naruto realises that Gaara's tragic background has made him too dangerous for them to defeat. As Gaara prepares to attack, Guy arrives and forces Gaara to leave.

Acoustic treatment has just gone artistic. Every room in which music is to be enjoyed or where a home cinema system is installed requires dedicated acoustic treatment. Without it the room will just have too much of a negative bearing on the perceived sound. This will result in loss of clarity and will make the equipment feel out of focus or cloudy. So acoustic treatment is a must, a necessity. At Advanced Acoustics we develop acoustic treatment solutions that are not only sonically enhancing but we also need to develop products which appeal to all types of audiophile or cinephile.
If you require acoustic treatment with a touch of something special then you need look no further. Presenting the Photophonic Panels. These panels are the same high quality construction as our Wall Sound Trap Panels which is professional grade open cell acoustic foam mounted to low frequency absorbing backing and covered in an open weave fabric. Plus with all the materials being fire retardant you can be assured of the highest quality along with the conformation to regulations.
The panels are 2ft (610mm) by 4ft (1219mm) and are 2 ¼" (57mm ) thick overall. Simply send us a high quality digital image and we will check it for suitability and at no extra cost, as long as the image is acceptable, it will be screen printed onto the panel. By installing acoustic treatment in a room where music is to be enjoyed you will give your high fidelity equipment a chance to show you its true capabilities. You will experience a massively widened soundstage that before you could only dream about. Combine that with the heightened clarity and focus it is like putting on a pair of glasses. Details that before were lost due to the rooms bad influences can be clearly heared with everything brought into balance.
All our High End Audio Panels are made to order and usually have a 2 week lead time.

If you don't follow me on Instagram or know me personally, here's a very condensed version of the past two years. Obviously you all know that I have always wanted lots of kids... and the quicker the better, but God's plan was different for us. After all we went through to have Kate we figured we'd just start trying for another baby basically as soon as she was born. Kate was a huge fan of breastfeeding to the point that it ended up being it's own natural birth control. Once she finally started eating solids, I had a couple sporadic cycles and to our surprise (given everything we did to conceive Katie) we found out we were expecting in April of 2016. We were so excited that it happened all on it's own without endless doctor visits, ultrasounds, medications, etc. Then I started spotting two days before I hit the 12 week mark. We were scheduled for our first ultrasound that week and I was spotting so lightly that we weren't really concerned about it. Darren and I were giddy with excitement as they started the ultrasound, but quickly turned solemn as we watched the tech struggle to find a heartbeat. She told us she saw not just one, but two babies, but that there were no heartbeats. We were shocked. Our first two miscarriages were at 6 weeks so we weren't expecting it to happen this late. It hit us hard, but despite how devastated we were, that maternal desire for more children drove me to want to keep trying despite the extreme emotional and physical pain it might cause.
So we tried again. And a few months later, somehow my body said "OK!" and I got pregnant. No medication - just lots of love. The way it's supposed to be. We were wary at first, but as the weeks went on we started to hope. Then, just like the last pregnancy, we lost our fifth angel baby right at 12 weeks. We started to think there was an underlying issue and our doctors agreed. So ensued loads of blood work for me, genetic testing for both of us, etc. Everything came back normal until an ultrasound showed a large uterine polyp. My doctor couldn't say for sure if that had caused our last two miscarriages, but I needed surgery to remove it regardless. I had the surgery in January of 2017.
In February, a month after my surgery, I got a positive pregnancy test. We held our breath for every milestone. We passed the 6 week mark, when we lost our first two pregnancies. At 8 weeks we got to see our miracle for the first time. My doctors completely understood how fearful we were and offered to let me come in for weekly doppler checks at that point. It helped keep the worry *somewhat* at bay. Weeks 11-13 were the scariest for me. At one point around 12 weeks, I had myself convinced that something was wrong and rushed into the doctor's office. They brought in the handheld ultrasound and there he was (yes, HE!) kicking and flipping all over the place!
Fast forward to today. I'm currently 27 1/2 weeks pregnant! Things have been going great. Other than combating loads of worry during the first trimester, it's really been a wonderful pregnancy so far. You guys have no idea how thankful and blessed we feel. We know we are some of "the lucky ones" on this journey of infertility and miscarriage. Never for a second do we take our two miracle babies for granted!!
These are some of the photos that we had taken last month by Tyler White Photography, who is a friend I have known since Jr. High, but also happens to be a phenomenal photographer. If you are anywhere near the Bloomington or Indianapolis, IN area, I highly recommend you use Tyler and his wife, Casey, for your photography needs! They are the sweetest and so incredibly good at what they do.
If you're still following along with the blog, I would love to hear from you! Let me know what kind of things you'd like to see here in the future. I appreciate any and all feedback from my readers. Thanks for hanging with me through this lengthy post! I'm really hoping that this will be the restart of a wonderful new blogging journey for me. xoxo, Hannah

WRIGHT, Wyo. - In Wyoming, folks call it the "No Elk" plant, an $800 million project that — once finished — was meant to supply coal-fired power to 100,000 homes and support dozens of full-time jobs on the rolling prairie of northeast Wyoming.
Megawatts from the Two Elk Energy Park originally were supposed to begin flowing back when Bill Clinton was president. Instead, a series of hang-ups, including the global economic meltdown and difficulty finding an investor willing to share the cost, have kept Two Elk at a virtual standstill. All that's been built on the rolling northeast Wyoming prairie, a stone's throw from some of the world's biggest coal mines, is a metal storage building and part of the plant's foundation.
The power plant has received substantial local, state and federal government support: Almost half a billion dollars in tax-exempt municipal bonds, none of it spent yet, and more recently, $10 million in U.S. Department of Energy grants.
Now, Two Elk is up for a state permit extension — its seventh in 16 years — and even some former proponents are growing skeptical.
"It's kind of a running joke," said Campbell County Commission Chairman Dan Coolidge. "On its face, it seems like a great idea. But it just never materialized."
On one hand, Two Elk shows just how difficult arranging financing and securing permits to build a power plant — especially one involving coal — can be these days.
On the other, the project shows just how accommodating Wyoming — which ranks second only to Texas in producing the nation's raw energy — can be with a power plant idea.
"The reason this thing seems so attractive is that we've had the idea that, you know, wouldn't it be great if we could maximize the value of these resources here in the state, rather than shipping them off to power plants in other places where they generate jobs in other communities?" said Dan Neal with the Equality State Policy Center, a state government watchdog group.
But Wyoming needs to wise up and not waste time and resources with bogged-down projects, Neal said.
"At some point, we've got to be able to read the market's tea leaves just like everybody else does. And if these guys can't get off the ground, then the state's got to move on," he said.
Two Elk would be one of the more unusual large U.S. power plants. The 300-megawatt plant would burn a combination of low-grade coal from the nation's largest coal mines and timber from vast expanses of Rocky Mountain forests killed by a massive beetle infestation.
Two Elk first was proposed in 1996 and originally was supposed to begin generating electricity by the end of 1999.
At first, the plant's sole fuel source was to be low-grade coal from St. Louis-based Arch Coal Inc.'s vast Black Thunder Mine, the biggest of a dozen big Powder River Basin mines that supply about 40 per cent of the nation's coal.
Using "waste coal" that otherwise just gets reburied at the mine would save money for the company behind the Two Elk project — Greenwood Village, Colo.-based North American Power Group, which also has four small coal- and wood-fired power plants in California.
It also would save on transportation compared with what Midwestern utilities spend to ship Powder River Basin coal hundreds of miles by train.
State and local officials liked the idea and did their best to help.
Over a decade, two Wyoming governors authorized Campbell County to issue a total of $445 million in tax-exempt industrial development revenue bonds for the project. The form of municipal bonds helps private-sector projects secure bank financing.
Work on Two Elk progressed slowly, meanwhile, and at a cost to taxpayers.
From 2005 to 2006, northeast Wyoming towns and counties got $10 million in state industrial impact grants they spent to bolster infrastructure and beef up local government services ahead of an influx of 700 construction workers and their families.
The invasion didn't happen then and hasn't to date.
By 2007, the project cost had swelled from $417 million in 2001 to $1.3 billion in 2007. More than ever, the project needed a partner to make up the difference.
"Any time you're talking about trying to invest $700 or $800 million, it's not easy," said Brad Enzi, vice-president and Two Elk project leader for North American Power Group Ltd. "It's subject to a lot of things. It's subject to the power market. It's subject to the overall economic condition of our country."
Enzi said he's been talking with a couple prospects to share in the current estimated cost of $800 million, a slightly lower cost than six years ago but still nearly double the initial estimates. A design change a couple years ago from burning only coal to also burning beetle-killed timber — earning Two Elk precertification from California as a renewable energy source for that state — has not yielded any takers, however.
"It feels like it's close, sometimes, and then you might be further apart than you thought," he said. "And then other times you're closer than you thought."
As for the bond funding, it hasn't been spent. North American Power Group bought back the bonds in 2008, and they've been on the shelf ever since.
"Technically, there's no money out there. There's just paper," said Campbell County's bond attorney for Two Elk, Mike Reppe, with the firm Kutak Rock.
Two Elk also got government help in 2009 and 2010 from two Energy Department economic stimulus grants totalling $10 million. Researchers at Montana State and Stanford universities used part of the funding to analyze existing geological data to see if the Two Elk site could store the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
Under one of the grants, North American Power Group also proposed to drill a deep well to collect more data. How much of that grant got spent isn't clear, but the well didn't get drilled.
Enzi said he didn't know what happened and referred questions about the stimulus funding to Michael Ruffatto, president of North American Power Group, who did not return phone messages.
Representatives from the Department of Energy in Washington, D.C., and the department's National Energy Technology Lab in Morgantown, W.Va., which oversaw the project, declined to comment. They referred all questions to an assistant U.S. attorney in Pittsburgh who declined to comment.
On Monday, the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council, a state citizen panel, will consider a seventh permit extension in 16 years for Two Elk. If approved, completion is targeted in 2016, or 19 years after Two Elk's first industrial siting permit.
The panel considers the impacts large industrial projects would have on surrounding communities. If it denies another extension, Two Elk really could be No Elk. Nothing in Wyoming that big can be built without an industrial siting permit.
A lot can change after so much time, and it's time for a full review, said Sandy Shuptrine, the Industrial Siting Council member who requested the upcoming permit extension meeting.
"It's definitely the longest-delayed project that I'm aware of," she said.
Fifteen miles down the road from Two Elk, the coal town of Wright, population 1,800, has been booming thanks to gas, oil and uranium development. The population is up by a third since 2000, making it one of Wyoming's fastest-growing towns. A $10 million recreation centre, funded largely by taxes on the minerals industry, is on track for completion this year.
Told that a permit extension for Two Elk is coming up, several townspeople expressed surprise the project was even alive still. They hadn't heard about it in years, they said.
"There might be two elk out there somewhere," joked Tamera Van Vleet as she socialized at Hank's Roadside Bar and Grill on the outskirts of town.
"I think most of us are, 'Yeah, we'll believe it when we see it.' Our rec centre is going up faster than their cement pad."

The irrepressible Cristiano Ronaldo scored a dazzling hat-trick to send Portugal into the 2014 World Cup finals at the expense of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Sweden on Tuesday, while France advanced by conjuring a remarkable turnaround against Ukraine.
There was disappointment in the playoffs for Iceland, however, after the Nordic country failed in its bid to become the least populous nation to reach football's biggest stage after losing to Croatia on a thrilling final night in European qualification.
Ronaldo came out on top in his personal duel with fellow superstar Ibrahimovic, whose brace in Stockholm was upstaged by the Real Madrid forward's three brilliant goals in 29 second-half minutes. Portugal won 3-2 for a 4-2 aggregate victory.
France overturned a 2-0 first-leg deficit to Ukraine by winning 3-0 in Paris, with strikes by Mamadou Sakho and Karim Benzema as well as an own goal ensuring Les Bleus qualified for a 10th consecutive major tournament.
Iceland lost 2-0 to 10-man Croatia at Zabreb and was eliminated by the same score on aggregate, and Greece was the other European nation to make it to Brazil through the playoffs after drawing 1-1 in Romania to progress 4-2 overall.
The list of African qualifiers was completed with Ghana advancing 7-3 on aggregate over Egypt despite a 2-1 loss in Cairo and Algeria progressing on away goals at the expense of Burkino Faso. Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Cameroon had already won their playoffs.
The final two berths for the 32-team World Cup will be secured on Wednesday, with Uruguay protecting a 5-0 lead over Jordan and Mexico 5-1 up on New Zealand heading into the second legs of their intercontinental playoffs. The draw for the group stage of the 2014 World Cup takes place in Bahia, Brazil, on Dec. 6.
Spain endured a miserable return to the scene of its World Cup triumph in 2010, losing 1-0 to South Africa at FNB Stadium - the venue formerly known as Soccer City - in one of a host of international friendlies.
A virtually second-string Germany team consigned fierce rival England to back-to-back losses at Wembley Stadium for the first time in 36 years by winning 1-0, and Netherlands played with 10 men for almost an hour but still drew 0-0 with Colombia.
While France was engineering the greatest recovery of the playoffs, Ronaldo proved once again he is the man for the big occasion, continuing a prolific season in which he could yet wrestle the World Player of the Year award from great rival Lionel Messi.
He had already trumped Ibrahimovic by scoring the winner in the first leg on Friday, but the rivalry between arguably the two biggest showmen in the sport climbed to new levels at the Friends Arena.
Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 50th minute but Ibrahimovic netted twice in four minutes to level the score on aggregate and give Sweden hope. That was quickly extinguished by two pieces of brilliance from Ronaldo, who burst through to power home a left-footed in the 77th before latching onto another through-ball and smashing into the roof of the net two minutes later.
"Of course, we cannot underestimate how important is Cristiano for us," Portugal coach Paulo Bento said.
His second hat trick in international football, to go with his 24 at club level for Manchester United and Real Madrid, sparked jubilant scenes of celebration as Portugal's coaching staff and substitutes spilled onto the pitch.
That was possibly the last chance for the 32-year-old Ibrahimovic to play at a World Cup, but football fans will be thrilled that both Ronaldo and France's Franck Ribery - two of the favorites for this year's Ballon d'Or - will be in Brazil.
Ribery took a back seat on Tuesday as Benzema and, more surprisingly, central defender Sakho ushered 1998 world champion France to next year's tournament.
Didier Deschamps lifted the World Cup in the Stade de France 15 years ago in his finest moment as a player and this fightback, against a Ukraine lineup known for his doughty defense, probably tops his achievements as a coach.
"I've experienced some great moments but this one is special. It's fabulous," Deschamps said.
France leveled the aggregate score at 2-2 by halftime through close-range goals by Sakho and the recalled Benzema before Ukraine was reduced to 10 men in the 47th when fullback Yevhen Khacheridi was red-carded for fouling Ribery. Worse was to follow for the visitors as substitute Oleg Gusev turned a driven cross into his own net under pressure from Sakho, putting the French through.
"We took a big slap in Ukraine," Ribery said, "and we woke up."
Croatia qualified for its fourth World Cup since becoming an independent state in 1991 and quashed Iceland's hopes of reaching football's showpiece tournament for the first time.
Striker Dario Mandzukic scored in the 22nd minute to put Croatia ahead on aggregate but was given a red card nine minutes later for a reckless tackle. Iceland, whose population is only around 320,000, couldn't capitalize and Darijo Srna's 47th-minute goal sealed victory for the hosts.

Ocosingo is a city in Chiapas.
Get in[edit]
Get around[edit]
There are urban colectivo's, but the city is small enough that it is best to walk. If you are coming from Comitan, you will get dropped off by the farmers market, which is also the point to catch a colectivo for the ruins. Ask directions for the central park to find most of the hotels, restaurants, atms etc. There is a different terminal for colectivo´s for Palenque and San Cristobal.
See[edit][add listing]
For most, Ocosingo is only a jumping off point for Laguna Miramar or Toniná. However, if you do decide to stay here, the town is friendly and not a bad place to stay a night. The centre has a leafy colonial style plaza, and near the colectivo terminal is the rowdy "peasents" market, where local farmers come to sell their produce.
Do[edit][add listing]
The obvious attraction here are the ruins. Catch a colectivo at the market direction "las ruinas" to the very end which is the entry office. The ride takes about 20 minutes and after a while you are able to see the ruins on the left. Tickets to Toniná cost 60 pesos.
There are also Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) in Ocosingo. Before heading into Laguna Miramar you should pull out any needed cash here. If you stay here a day, take a stroll around the central plaza in the evening or explore the farmers market in the morning.
Buy[edit][add listing]
If you are coming from San Cristobal or heading to Palenque, here is a good place to buy handicrafts at cheaper rates than you'll likely get elsewhere.
Eat[edit][add listing]
Several restaurants around the plaza. If you can manage to find Hospedaje Esmeralda, head down that road and take the first left, along that street there are many super cheap and tasty comidors. Incidently, head up two or three blocks and then turn left for onward transport to Palenque.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
There are a number of decent hotels off the main plaza that are priced between $15 and $30 USD. Budget travelers beware, at the time of writing, apparenlty there are no dormotories in town. For solo travelers, you might find it difficult to find anything cheaper than M$180. You could always arrive early, see the ruins, and then continue to San Cristobal or Palenque. Factor around 3 hours to see the ruins and the museum.
Several internet cafes directly on main plaza.
Get out[edit]

Apparently, whoever initially posted this video infringed on the copyright…not a good thing. Sooo, we aren't seeing the awesome video here. Still, it is worth watching so do it if you get the chance.

Sennelier Etude Art Student Oil Color - Phthalo Green Deep, 200 ml tube
Save For Later
- My Wishlist(s)

Product Details
- Color:
- Phthalo Green Deep
- Mfg #:
- 10-130331-807
- No.
- 807
- Size:
- 200 ml
Pigment Information
This color contains the following pigments:
PY1:1-Arylide Yellow G
PG7-Phthalo Green
PB15:3-Phthalo Blue
Pigment Name
PY1:1-Arylide Yellow G
Pigment Type
organic, monoazo
Chemical Formula
Arylide Yellow G is a variant of Hansa Yellow G (PY1). It is a transparent yellow with great brightness and tinting strength. Its drying time ranges from average to slow. Hansa Yellow pigments make more intense tints and cleaner secondaries than Cadmium Yellows, especially when mixed with other organic or modern colors like Phthalo Blue and Green. Because they are more transparent, they have great value as glazing colors.
Hansa Yellow G has good permanence and lightfastness, particularly in the lighter shades.
Hansa Yellow pigments have no significant acute hazards, though chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before World War I from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. Hansa Yellow G, introduced in 1910, was the first of these products to be commercialized. Hansa Yellow G was the standard yellow for printing inks under late in the 20th century, when stronger diarylide yellows began to replace it. It is still used a great deal in packaging, and for air drying paints.
Pigment Name
PG7-Phthalo Green
Pigment Type
Chemical Name
polychlorinated copper(II) phthalocyanine
Chemical Formula
C32H3Cl13CuN8 to C32HCl15CuN8 or C32H16CuN8Cl15 (PG7) or C32Br6Cl10CuN8 (PG36)
Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity color used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base color for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colors in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colors. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.
Pigment Name
PB15:3-Phthalo Blue
Pigment Type
Chemical Name
beta copper phthalocyanine
Chemical Formula
Phthalo Blue PB15:3 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more greenish tones.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.
