Jeep Compass Years
Select The Year Of Your Vehicle Below
Jeep was successful with hardcore off-road enthusiasts, but to survive as a brand, they knew they needed something that had more mass appeal. The Jeep Compass was conceived as a standard crossover, eschewing off-road ability for on-road comfort and an affordable price tag to attract new buyers. However, this didn't last long. After three years of production, the Freedom Drive II off-road package was added, giving the vehicle the 50/50 front/rear power split and low gearing needed for off-road duty. A redesign for the 2017 Compass brings the SUV up-to-date, adding even more off-road features including traction management and better approach and departure angles.
Old or new, you can get anything you need for your Compass at Jeeps Are Us. Our OEM parts are built by Jeep, maintaining the original fit, look and reliability your crossover was built with. We carry parts large and small including oil filters, lower control arms and bumper covers so you can keep your Jeep running like new. Type in your VIN or use the drop-down menus on our front page to select your vehicle, and our search engine will find the right parts to fit your specific model. Need help? Call or email us to talk to our factory-trained parts staff.

Investigating Judge Hesham Abdel Meguid issued a gag order on the recently reopened case against local nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) accused of unlawfully accepting foreign funds, the judge announced Monday evening.
The gag order prohibits any type of media outlet from publishing anything on the case other than statements issued by the presiding judges until investigations are complete.
Defendants include the executive director of the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, Gamal Eid, and founder of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, Hossam Bahgat, who are accused of illegally receiving US$1.5 million in foreign funding for their organizations, according to local media reports.
The gag order was issued shortly after President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi met with Prime Minister Sherif Ismail, other members of the Cabinet, the head of General Intelligence and the presidential adviser on national security affairs, the privately owned newspaper Al-Shorouk reported Monday. In the meeting, Sisi stressed the importance of improving Egypt's image abroad, his spokesperson Alaa Youssef said.
Over the weekend Egypt had a terse exchange with the United States over the reopening of the NGO case. On Friday, US Secretary of State John Kerry said he was concerned about the deteriorating condition of human rights in Egypt. Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister Sameh Shoukry responded on Saturday by saying that Egypt does not accept the guardianship of foreign countries, arguing that human rights are a sovereign matter.
Shoukry went on to say that there are more than 40,000 organizations in Egypt working on human rights, and the government is committed to helping them serve their role in civil society. However, the state must ensure that all funds received by such groups are used in the right manner, Shoukry maintained, and not channeled to anyone engaged in practices that could harm the nation.
The case dates back to December 2011, when 43 workers for foreign NGOs were charged with operating an organization and receiving funds from a foreign government without a license. In June 2013, all the defendants — including 17 US citizens, other foreigners and Egyptians — were sentenced from one to five years in prison, many of them in absentia. The court also ordered the closure of the implicated NGOs, including the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute and Freedom House.
Workers at local NGOs who were implicated in the investigations were not sentenced in the 2013 case, and it was not clear at the time if they might be brought to trial at a later date.

A fascinating look at how the economic recession of the early 2000s kicked off a changing mindset from seeing marketing and branding as an expense rather than an investment. Paired with the fact that technologies shift the focus from strategy to tactics, the result is that too many entrepreneurial business leaders mistakenly equate building buzz with building brand. In short, if you think that posting is marketing, then your business could be in big trouble down the road.
From Forbes magazine: "For much of the first decade of the 21st century American companies amassed significant debt and used it to support innovation and invest in their brands. That changed on September 15, 2008 with the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the ensuing Great Recession. Companies became risk averse, and growth agenda was replaced by cost cutting.
Nowhere was this changed frame of mind more noticeable than marketing. Advertising was quickly deteriorated from being regarded an investment to expense. Innovation vanished. Companies, and consumer packaged-goods in particular, reduced investment in brands at the same time that the ecosystem experienced digital disruption, zero-based budgeting and predatory active investors." Read more
A mania for austerity is now in full swing. Many companies, especially consumer goods companies cut back on advertising in the last decade. Procter & Gamble eliminated $2 billion in marketing costs. Unilever has slashed the number of ads it produces globally by 30% while halving the number of agencies it works with. General Mills scaled back ad and media expenses to $575 million in fiscal 2018 from $869 million in 2014.
The decline of marketing meant that CMOs, once a strategic pillar of the corporation and a leading candidate for promotion to the CEO corner office, came to be viewed as less essential, the person who makes the ads. Their tenure is temporary, in some cases a mere two years as their role was diminished and marketing is in retreat. The relationships of brands with the consumer, already weakened by technology and the fragmentation of the media, is fraying rapidly.
Cost cutting brands are like Wile E. Coyote and, only just last week, Kraft Heinz looked down and realized that the cliff it has been running on is no longer underneath its feet. The company, majority owned by Brazilian private equity firm 3G capital and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, enacted draconian cost cutting ever since they bought the company in 2015, but failed to invest in its brands.

As usual, we started with a dance and checked the weather then we proceeded with our lesson.
"Class Picture"
The kids putted-on the monster's shorts and headdress that we made a week ago.
They did their best pose and the teacher took them a picture.
The kids tried to beat the monster's props using the colorful balls until it got defeated.
Yes! We won!
But a real monster came into our class. We got all scared!
"Go away! Monster! (T_T)
We tried to throw some balls to the monster so it would stay away from us.
At last, the monster went away!

Transport Your Taste Buds at One of These International Bakeries in St. Louis
St. Louis is a melting pot of cultures, which is evident in its diverse food and drink scene—including its many international bakeries. Tempting locals and visitors alike with treats such as light and sweet Mexican conchas and rich, nutty baklava, these eight St. Louis bakeries will transport your sweet tooth somewhere new.
Lilly's Panaderia
A bright yellow sign beckons passersby into Lilly's Panaderia on Cherokee Street, which boasts fresh loaves of bread, cakes, cookies and more. The colorful Mexican bakery is typically bustling on weekday mornings, as regulars stop in for their daily donuts, barquillos (crispy rolled wafer pastries filled with cream) and small loaves of bolillo (bread in the same family as the baguette). For special occasions, patrons place an order for a custom cake or a tres leches cake (a traditional sponge cake topped with fresh whipped cream and cinnamon).
Taste of Lebanon
Sandwiched between El Burro Loco and Golden Grocer Natural Foods in the Central West End is Taste of Lebanon, a cozy Lebanese restaurant and bakery. Aside from its expansive menu of Middle Eastern favorites—think hummus, labneh, falafel and shawarma—the restaurant offers a selection of baked goods that will make you strive to leave room for dessert.
The most iconic pastry from the region—and the bakery—is baklava, layers of flaky phyllo dough traditionally filled with pistachios or walnuts. Choclava is a richer pastry made with peanut butter chocolate, dark chocolate, walnuts and coconut flakes, while kunafa bil-kishta pairs the same dough with shredded homemade cheese between each layer. You might also fancy namoura, a traditional syrup-soaked semolina cake topped with almonds.
The Missouri Baking Company
The Missouri Baking Company is a no-frills, family-owned bakery on Edwards Street in the heart of The Hill. The bakery has been in business since 1924; one step through the front door and the desserts inside its glass cases will transport you back through time. The Italian cannolis are topped with a bright red maraschino cherry and the pies have a case of fluffy, caramelized meringue. There are cookies of every sort, chocolate marshmallow mounds, cinnamon pull-apart buns, seasonal peach coffee cakes, breads, pies, cupcakes and muffins. How will you ever decide?
Diana's Bakery
Diana's Bakery is an unassuming bakery on Cherokee Street with one of the most elaborate selections of baked goods in town. It coaxes customers to forget about calories with tres leches cakes, cinnamon-dipped churros, sweet empanadas and bear claws, to name a few. It also serves calaveras, colorful skull-shaped cookies for Día de los Muertos in the fall.
Sedara Sweets & Ice Cream
Located in Affton, Sedara Sweets & Ice Cream is a one-stop shop for traditional Middle Eastern desserts. Grab a pastry staple, such as a muffin or scone, or be a bit more adventurous and order manakish, made with a selection of fresh dough (which changes daily), cheese or ground meat and thyme. For your morning pick-me-up, choose from a variety of Arabic tea and coffee.
No sweet tooth is left unsatisfied at Sedara with 15 rotating varieties of handmade baklava (available with a scoop of ice cream) and halqum (often called "Turkish Delight"), made with starch and sugar and flavored with almonds, hazelnuts or pistachios.
Rosciglione Bakery
There's no mistaking its Italian origins: Rosciglione Bakery is decked out in green, white and red decorations and black-and-white-checkered tiles blanket the floor of the shop. Operating in St. Louis since 1900, it originally opened in Downtown St. Louis on Seventh Street in an area known as "Little Italy;" later it moved to Dellwood, and now it calls St. Charles home. Currently run by fourth-generation Rosciglione family member Francesco Peter, the bakery offers 40 picturesque cookies (separated into two categories: "Italian" and "Fancy"), decadent Italian pastries, three-layer cakes, granita, gelato and more.
Kim's Bakery
Its 48 varieties of Asian-inspired breads, ranging from savory Chicken Curry Karaoke and Green Pea Pang to the sweeter Pineapple Coconut Bread and Cinnamon Twist Snack, make Kim's Bakery in Chesterfield a beloved destination for something extra special. There are also glazed fruit tarts, rich mousses, layered cakes, cream puffs and an array of cookies. Special Roll and Moon cakes are available as gift sets, while others are customizable for birthdays, holidays and … Tuesday?!
Signature India Restaurant and Bakery
Signature India Restaurant and Bakery brings the bright, flavor-packed cuisine of India to the suburbs of Ballwin and O'Fallon, Missouri. Its dessert menu and bakery display cases are scattered with fruit cakes, endless varieties of layered cakes, housemade breads, cookies, mousses and savory puff pastries. Don't worry, you don't have to choose just one.

"Bianca Dartington" is a young woman Adrian Mole meets whilst living in Oxford, early 1991.Slim, pale and average-looking, she has long legs and night-black hair. She is fully qualified to be a hydraulic engineer, but has no luck finding graduate employment and is forced to work in a newsagency.
Bianca is immediately smitten with Adrian and gives him several opportunities to initiate a relationship, dropping strong hints and finding excuses to be near him. For a few months he fails to recognise her intent, he often misenterprets her advances and doesn't realise she fancies him. She later to moves to London and gets a job as a waitress at Savage's. Adrian has meanwhile lost his job and returned to Leicester, where he finds living with his family again to be annoying. They correspond briefly, and she offers him accomodation.
In November 1991 Adrian arrives at her flat in Soho; they finally get together, and have a wonderfully passionate love affair over the next 2 months.

When they visit his family, she finds a kindred spirit in Pauline's young husband Martin Muffet. Realising Martin is her true soulmate, Bianca soon finishes with Adrian and leaves him devastated, although she also leaves the flat to him. She quits her job and disappears from Adrian's life.

The prostate grows
The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland that wraps around the urethra, the tube that urine flows out of. The prostate is part of the male reproductive system. One of its main jobs, along with other organs, is to add fluid to semen. This is the fluid that carries sperm.
The prostate gland starts out small and has two main phases of growth. It doubles in size during the teenage years, then continues to grow again after age 25 throughout the rest of a man's life.
An excessively enlarged prostate results in a disease known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Eventually, an enlarged prostate can clamp down on the urethra and restrict the flow of urine from the bladder. This leads to problems such as:
- frequent urination
- difficulty in voiding
- urinary leakage
- urinary tract infections
Read about natural remedies that may improve some BPH symptoms.
There are several treatment options for an enlarged prostate. You can take alpha-blockers such as terazosin (Hytrin) or tamsulosin (Flomax) to help relax the prostate and bladder muscles.
You can also take dutasteride (Avodart) or finasteride (Proscar), a different kind of medication for reducing BPH symptoms. These block the hormones that cause the prostate to grow.
Combinations of these two different types of medications may also be recommended. Your doctor might also recommend surgery to remove the extra prostate tissue. One common surgical procedure for BPH is known as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
There are also natural remedies that may work to combat enlarged prostate symptoms. However, the evidence is debatable on whether these treatments actually work. The American Urological Association currently doesn't recommend any herbal therapy for managing BPH.
If you do want to try any of these natural remedies, talk to your doctor first. Some herbal treatments can interact with prescription medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn't regulate the quality or purity of herbal supplements. This means there can be a lack of consistent ingredients.
Saw palmetto is an herbal remedy that comes from the fruit of a type of palm tree. It's been used in alternative medicine for centuries to relieve urinary symptoms, including those caused by an enlarged prostate. According to the , a few small-scale studies have suggested that saw palmetto might be effective for relieving BPH symptoms.
However, the NIH reports that when
This herbal medication is a mixture taken from different plants that contain cholesterol-like substances called sitosterols or phytosterols (plant-based fats). have suggested that beta-sitosterol can relieve urinary symptoms of BPH, including the strength of urine flow. Some scientists have also suggested that it's these fatty substances — like beta-sitosterol, which is also found in saw palmetto — that are actually doing the work.
There haven't been any major side effects reported with the use of beta-sitosterol. However, doctors still don't know all the long-term effects of this natural therapy.
Pygeum comes from the bark of the African plum tree and has been used in traditional medicine to treat urinary problems since ancient times. It's often used to treat BPH symptoms, especially in Europe. Because studies on it haven't been well-designed, it's hard to know for sure whether it's effective.
According to the Canadian Journal of Urology, some small studies have suggested the supplement can help with bladder emptying and urine flow. However, the studies reviewed were inconsistent. Pygeum does appear safe to use, but it can cause upset stomach and headache in some people who take it. There are no studies on long-term safety.
Rye grass pollen extract is made from three types of grass pollen: rye, timothy, and corn. A review of herbal studies published in found that in one study, men who were taking rye grass pollen extract reported an improvement in their nighttime symptoms of getting up to urinate, compared to those who were taking a placebo. However, this study lasted only six months. It didn't look at how well the supplement worked compared to prescription medications.
You'll know if you've accidentally touched the common European stinging nettle: The hairs on its leaves can cause a sharp jolt of intense pain. But stinging nettle may have some benefits when used as a medicine.
Nettle root is thought to improve some BPH symptoms, and is commonly used in Europe. However,
Sometimes nettle is used in combination with other natural BPH treatments, such as pygeum or saw palmetto. Side effects from nettle are usually mild, including upset stomach and skin rash.
The role of diet in the prevention of BPH and in treating its symptoms continues to be explored.
A recent
It's important to remember that just because a supplement is labeled "natural" doesn't always mean it's safe, healthy, or effective. Remember that the FDA doesn't regulate herbal remedies like it does prescription and over-the-counter drugs. That means you can't be totally sure that what's listed on the label is inside the bottle.
Herbal remedies can also cause side effects and interact with other medications you take. Check with your doctor before trying any natural supplement.

American R&B star Chris Brown was released without charge on Tuesday after being held overnight for questioning over a rape allegation in Paris, the prosecutor's office said.
A 25-year-old woman has accused Brown, along with his bodyguard and a friend, of assaulting her in the luxury Mandarin Oriental hotel last Tuesday night, a source close to the case said on condition of anonymity.
The prosecutor's office said an investigation was continuing, while Brown's lawyer Raphael Chiche said his client "energetically" proclaimed his innocence and wanted to bring a defamation lawsuit.
The alleged victim told police she met Brown in a nightclub near the Champs-Elysees avenue with a group of other women. She then agreed to go back to the hotel, which is on the glitzy boutique-lined Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore.
The singer posted a picture on his Instagram account Tuesday night that read: "This B!tch Lyin' [sic]".
He captioned the picture: "I WANNA MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR…… THIS IS FALSE AND A WHOLE LOT OF CAP! NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!! FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MY FAMILY THIS IS SO DISPRESPECTFUL AND IS AGAINST MY CHARACTER AND MORALS!!!!! [sic]"
His lawyer said in a statament: "Chris Brown is free. No lawsuits were filed against him. He vigorously challenges the charges against him. A complaint for slanderous denunciation will be filed tomorrow with the public prosecutor of Paris."
The singer, who according to Billboard has sold more than 100 million records, has been in the news more for his legal troubles than his hit releases in recent years.
In 2009 he was convicted of beating fellow singer Rihanna, his girlfriend at the time, who was forced to miss the Grammy Awards because of her injuries.
Brown was sentenced to five years' probation and six months of community service for the assault.
In 2014 he pleaded guilty to assaulting a fan in Washington and was accused of violence by a woman in Las Vegas.
Two years later he was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon following a standoff with Los Angeles police officers, after a woman said he threatened her at his home.

A question on quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) on Sony TV, which had a reference to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has triggered a controversy and invited the charge that it showed "disrespect" to the 17th century Maratha warrior.
The television channel late last night issued an on- air apology for inaccurate reference to the Maratha king, which it said, was an inadvertent error.
The controversy erupted when on Wednesday a question was asked in the show, hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, about the contemporaries of Aurangazeb, a Mughal emperor who ruled major parts of India in the 17th century.
Among the four options, Chhatrapati Shivaji was mentioned as "Shivaji", while other options were Maharana Pratap, Rana Sanga and Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Irked with such a reference, several people took to social media to criticise Sony and seek an apology.
The channel, by way of a ticker, issued an apology during Thursday's KBC episode.
"There was an inaccurate reference to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj during Wednesdays KBC episode, due to inadvertence.
"We deeply regret the same and being mindful of the sentiments of our viewers have carried a scroll expressing regret during our episode yesterday. #KBC11." the channel said.
Maharashtra BJP MLA Nitesh Rane, earlier on Friday, demanded an apology from the entertainment giant for a "disrespectful" reference to Shivaji Maharaj.
Rane said, "@sonykbc10 has insulted (Shivaji Maharaj) by referring him in first person singular form. It should tender apology at the earliest."
Issuing a warning, he said, "If they delay it (apology) further, the show will not have any life line to continue further."

Book 86: Rwanda (English) – The Past Ahead = Le Passé devant soi (Gilbert GATORE)
Is murder unforgivable because the only person from whom rightful forgiveness could come is no longer there?
In 1994 I went on holiday in South America. I was totally shocked that in the short time I was away, up to a million people were massacred in an intentional genocide in faraway Rwanda. I still suffer a strange feeling of guilt over that.
This novel is the story of two characters struggling to deal with the trauma from that time. The young woman, Isaro, had to flee the country for France after her parents were murdered. She comes up with the 'modest' research project of interviewing all the survivors and putting their stories into one book. What she does come up with is a novel, which centres on the other main character, Niko – we don't find out that he is only her creation until right at the end. Niko is a sociopath and a mute, who has banished himself to a nose-shaped island in a lake, populated by monkeys. While he was not popular, he was a peaceful blacksmith until the day the genocidal army came and he is forced to club to death another man who may – or may not- be his own father, or else both of them will be shot; and he must decide whether to die or become a murderer in a split second. He chooses to kill and to live, and becomes the enthusiastic leader of a band of thugs.
I would have loved to have had the inexplicable explained – that is, why the genocide happened and how apparently normal decent human beings could carry out such heartless brutality on those they had lived with peacefully. I didn't feel that I did get it. Maybe it's some disease of collective madness that infects a group. Before we look down on the Rwandans – or Germans – or Turks – or anyone else collectively, we need to remember that few of our countries or peoples haven't committed injustices to others (certainly my country has); and if as individuals we are sure that we would never commit such atrocities – well, can anyone who hasn't been guilty of cruelty to a cockroach, for example, ever be certain of that? All of us are guilty if we knew what was happening in a 'faraway African country' and didn't care.
Nowadays, Rwanda is doing quite well economically, and is even very progressive in some respects (banning plastic bags and percentage of women in parliament). An astonishing number of victims have even forgiven their tormentors. It has come at the price of putting a blanket over much of what happened. Nowadays, officially, people can't call themselves Tutsi or Hutu.
I can't imagine what it must be like every day to see someone who murdered the whole rest of your family walking the streets. I can't blame any country for deciding that, when a choice has to be made, reconciliation or at least peace is preferable to justice, but I wish we could have both – not only due process for those who ordered the crimes, but also for the torturers, the people with the machetes, and the bureaucrats.

America Online co-founder and CEO of Revolution Steve Case was recently interviewed by Bloomberg, where he gave an update on his "Rise of the Rest" tour. The tour started in Detroit, continued to Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Nashville where he met local entrepreneurs who took part of a startup pitch competition. He is investing $100,000 in the winning startups of each city.
The goal of this tour is to invest into startups in cities that have entrepreneurial ecosystems that are often overlooked and build momentum for new investment. "Young people are in these cities to start a company, but they are also there to build or re-build communities," explains Case.
As for more investment coming to these "off-beat" cities, Case said that it's a matter of time before it happens, since once these companies are successful, investors don't care where they are based.
"The world is changing. Silicon Valley will continue to be very important ecosystem, but 10 years from now we will see more diversity of innovation economy, which will be great for these communities but better for our nation," says Case.

|Boromir: "Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing? So small a thing!"
- J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring II:10
Angmarrim was a general term for the mannish population of Angmar.
In the early Third Age the populace of Angmar seems to have spoken a dialect closely related to Bórian or Ulbandic. In later times Westron was spoken, and occasionally Hillmen dialects (it is unknown if these were a late descendant of the earlier Angmarian language).
Angmarrim in MERP
In MERP the Angmarrim are considered a culture consisting of various peoples including Arvandor, Hillmen, Dunmen, Eriadorians, Black Númenóreans, Northmen (the Estaravi), and even Easterling mercenaries (crusaders known as the Kharg-Huka), however more than half of the mixed-blooded Angmarean commoners are of Dunman or Hillman descent. The Angmarrim divide themselves into the Highland Angmarrin, the Men settled in the mountains and foothills of the Ered Angmar, and the Lowlanders, most of them herdsmen and often semi-migratory. A third class are the Fell-men or Moor-Men, the lowest class within Angmarean society.
Angmarrim in LOTRO
Lotro considers the surviving Angmarrim in T.A. 3018-3019 as Hillmen. They are the descendants of the eastern population of Angmar who were driven back west over the Mountains by the Eothéod after 1856 TA and resettled the valleys of Angmar.
Some of their sub-groups are:
- the Duvardain - a Hillman-tribe of Angmar.
- the Gúlaran - the inhabirants of the tower Barad Gularan in Angmar.
- the Ice Walkers - the Angmarean group in Forochel.
- the Iron Crown - Angmar's Warrior-elite.
- the Nimwaith - the Angmarean slave-caste.
The Angmarrim in Other Minds
In the Other Minds Magazine, Thomas Morwinski supposes a possible background for the Angmarrim. According to Tolkien's drafts the northern areas of Eriador were settled by tribes related to the Easterlings of Bór's Folk. These Bórians were the original population of Angmar and maybe parts of Rhudaur. After a prophet named Balsha had appeared in Arnor, he founded strange cults and taught about gods and spirits. Many superstitious Eriadorians followed him, and treks of settlers from various areas of Eriador moved to Angmar, after it had proclaimed its independence from the Dúnedain Kingdoms.

One OK Rock gained a following overseas for its clever weaving of English and Japanese lyrics seamlessly into music. Headed by vocalist Takahiro Morita, the band was founded in 2005 when he recruited some of his high school friends. They went on to become extremely successful and prolific, touring internationally and releasing many albums. Their most recent work, 35xxxv, is their seventh public album since their formation ten years ago and was released on Febuary 11th of this year.
One of the very fascinating and appealing elements of One OK Rock's sound, as I mentioned, is Taka's use of both English and Japanese lyrics in his songs. This is handled far differently than most other artists, as instead of the occasional phrase there will be entire verses in English. Choruses will also often be half and half, and the transition between languages is so smooth that it often takes a moment for first time listeners to realize that the lyrics have changed. Takahiro himself is native to Japan, which makes his English lyrics not only more impressive, but also difficult for him to perform. On top of this, there is a great improvement from the first album to 35xxxv, as now the English portions have been so well perfected that One OK Rock can easily be mistaken for having an English vocalist at moments, and the quality of Takahiro's voice is quite impressive even putting his multi-lingual lyrics aside.
One OK Rock has always been a rock band, but their sound has evolved over time, and 35xxxv has by far the most sophisticated and diverse set of songs out of all their albums. Whenever I buy a decent album, I always think highly of the sound quality at first, but over time my opinion adjusts as the 'new' feeling goes away, and unlike other albums, 35xxxv has changed very little in my mind in terms of quality since the beginning, and that is because of the wonderful artistry present both in the songs individually and the cohesive flow of the album as a whole. Occasionally, tracks will quite literally bleed into each other, and one will more or less pick up where the other left off. However, it's not just in those moments that the music feels like that, because even when the tone of the next song is substantially different it still has a feeling of belonging there, right after the other completely different track.
So why is it that the album has such a flow to it? One OK Rock did something that few other rock bands seem to be able to do sometimes: they managed to produce different types of sounds in different songs while still keeping a relatively similar style throughout. The louder, more energetic songs like Take Me To the Top are significantly different from Heartache while still maintaining a high level of sound quality (there are hardly any 'throw-away' tracks present in the entire work), and this difference manages to keep the album fresh because the songs all have separate identities and don't start to sound the same after a while. If there was one complaint I had about the album, it would be that the second half is most decidedly the stronger half. While variety keeps consistently varied, some of the tracks aren't quite at the same level, and the band occasionally falls into the silly rock/metal trap of adding unnecessary harsh vocals. However, that's not to say that any one part is worse: Stuck in the Middle, the second to last song on the disc, is one of my favorites. In fact, several of my favorite songs were not released prior to the album in singles (something that a lot of bands tend to do), which would have cheapened the value of the whole album otherwise.
Overall, I would say:
Favorite Tracks: Cry Out, Heartache, Mighty Long Fall, and Stuck in the Middle
Best Feature(s): Variety of sounds, cohesive flow between tracks, and plenty of album-exclusive quality songs.
Worst Feature(s): A couple of dull songs, some unneeded harsh vocals.
Would I Recommend It?
Absolutely. If you are a fan of bands such as Simple Plan or Thirty Seconds to Mars, or just a rock/j-rock fan in general, I cannot recommend this album enough.
35xxxv was released on February 11th, 2015. It is both available physically via sites such as Amazon and digitally on popular platforms such as iTunes (which is cheaper).
Author's Note: Although this album came out several months ago, I only just got around to discussing it because of school work. This is just one of a series of Japanese albums released this spring that I plan to review, stay tuned this summer for more from Ani-TAY Music.

The medical director of Garki General Hospital in Abuja, has opened up on how a female NYSC member died, and denied allegations that their officials demanded police report be
23-year-old female NYSC Corps member, Linda Angela Igwetu, was allegedly shot dead by a Policeman in the early hours of Wednesday in Abuja.
Linda, who would have passed out from NYSC today, reportedly hung out with her friends on Tuesday night to celebrate her passing out, and on her way home, a police officer shot at the car she was in and she was hit.
She was immediately rushed to Garki hospital in Abuja, but eventually died after loosing too much blood.
Meanwhile, the management of Garki Hospital Abuja where the victim died, has refuted claims that it requested police report before treating the late Linda Igwetu, and described the allegations as malicious and false.
In a statement released in Abuja, the Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Nyomudim Essen, said the report that the hospital allowed her to bleed to death while awaiting police report was false.
"Garki Hospital Abuja does not demand for Police report before attending to Trauma Patients at her Accident and Emergency department. Garki Hospital does not insist on payment before stabilising trauma patients. It is a tradition that we do not compromise," part of the statement read.
The hospital explained that late Igwuetu was brought to the hospital at 3:05 a.m. on July 4 in a precarious condition and was given blood transfusion and limited surgery by the doctor on duty.
"Miss Igwetu was brought to our hospital at about 3.05 a.m. on July 4 in a very precarious condition. The doctors on duty at the Accident and Emergency including the consultant surgeon on call battled to save her life by providing care including blood transfusions and limited surgery. This was done even before any form of payment could be made. Unfortunately, despite all efforts to save her life, she did not make it."
The hospital also said that report on both the mainstream and social media that the medical officials on duty at the hospital requested a police report to treat her for gunshot wounds, were inaccurate and therefore demand an apology for misleading the public.
"Failure to publish the required rebuttals and apology would compel Garki Hospital to take legal actions against such media houses and blogs including their promoters. We also encourage the media to always take a step further by confirming the information they are fed with before broadcasting it to the general public," the statement said.
Garki Hospital also sympathised with the family of the deceased, the NYSC and Nigeria as a whole on the loss of Ms Igwetu and reassured all Nigerians of the hospital's commitment to saving lives.
The hospital declined to state the cause of death, saying this can only be determined by a postmortem examination.

To drive growth and increase the pace of organizational change, businesses need:
• A clear view of who is responsible and accountable across all processes and supplier relationships
• Structured and transparent service integration that delivers increased flexibility and agility
• A sourcing strategy that mitigates operational and commercial risk and optimizes financial return (revenue, cost and working capital).
Mike Henley, sourcing expert at PA Consulting Group, commented: "We are excited to be working closely with Jon Kirby. PA has helped many organizations to increase competitive advantage and drive exceptional results through transforming their supply chains, and by working in partnership with SSE we will help clients get to the right answers quickly."

Why CACTOS?
User demand and new technologies are driving a drastic increase in cloud infrastructure scale, heterogeneity and complexity. The demand for better energy efficiency has led to a variety of technological options to build servers from different CPU architectures as well as specialised options for highly parallel tasks such as manycore systems or General Purposed GPUs. At the same time, service provisioning has evolved from Web Services and infrastructure virtualisation to Clouds, which is conceptually very similar to the evolution from traditional server hosting to more interactive services (e.g. remote rendering or gaming).
CACTOS delivers three major results. CactoScale: A set of tools and methods to acquire and analyse application behaviour and infrastructure performance data. CactoOpt: Mathematical models and their realisation to determine the best fitting resources within a provider context. CactoSim: A prediction and simulation environment for diverse application workloads
Modern offerings go beyond simple services, including full platforms, complex compositions and whole infrastructures. This leads to a significant complexity in mapping the different modules of these solutions on the large variety of available hardware options. Similarly data centres have made significant investments in energy efficient buildings, server racks and facility management technology and understand themselves as Smart Consumers in evolving SmartGrid environments.
To cope with the challenge to optimise the mapping of services to a variety of different resources, both hardware and software related (e.g. high bandwidth demands), requires topology aware mapping. This mapping needs to consider placement of the services across geographically distributed centres and demands new intelligent and cross-domain integration of actual and historical usage data.
The CACTOS Vision
Realizing the CACTOS vision means that the variety of workloads supposed to be executed in a Cloud environment can be mapped automatically to the most appropriate resources in the best fitting data centre at a given time and that in case of failures or changing conditions the best matching place is automatically detected and the workload is relocated.
The underpinning idea is based on the assumption that cloud applications can be described and analysed in terms of workload behaviour, potentially split into segments representing different classes of workload and that an optimised placement of the application elements is feasible relying on rich resource descriptions providing the necessary information from server node capabilities over cluster and data centre topology up to environmental data collected by sensors from the facility management system and business data such as actual power costs.
In order to realize this vision, in addition to the existing traces available at the start of the project the consortium will collect further data on the actual use of cloud infrastructures. In parallel, a workload model, based on an analysis of applications as well as on synthetic workloads (with defined behaviour), and an infrastructure model, based on different hardware architecture, further extend the information basis. The top-down and bottom-up models are developed initially in parallel and later integrated into a holistic optimization model. These individual models are validated in the first project cycle using a simulator. Over the project time the models are integrated in several iterations and validated within the selected Cloud Middleware on a physical infrastructure as well as using simulation in order to extend the validation beyond the typical limits in size of prototypical infrastructure.

- A medium-sized neutral structured tote stows more than just essentials, but it's not so big things get lost in the shuffle. Pair a similar style with any outfit to refine your look.
- For those bad hair days (or not), an "anything-but-basic" boho hat is the secret weapon to look pulled together.
- A warm faux fur vest instantly adds texture (and style points) to whatever you're wearing, from everyday knit tops to dresses
- Different than your average denim, you'll get serious wear out of side-stripe jeans, versatile enough for all things casual
- A lace cami adds the right feminine touch layered under any top
- Is 'blanket-chic' is a thing? Because this mauve ruana is a dream! Get wrapped up in it for extra warmth, and it's so soft, you'll find any reason to wear it. Belt it to look more polished in a cinch.
I scored these cozy-chic every girl essentials in stores now, so bookmark this for your next shopping trip. I can't wait for you to share pics of your new wardrobe additions with us by tagging #gotitatgordmans.

Q1. What is the difference between postmenopause and menopause? How are the symptoms different?
— Barbara, California
Usually when we use the term menopause, we mean "postmenopausal" — so the terms are really the same, or at least they can be used interchangeably.
The real distinction is actually between menopause (defined as beginning one year after your final menstrual period ends) and perimenopause (the few years before and after the final menstrual period). During perimenopause, a woman's hormone levels may fluctuate and she can experience irregular menstrual cycles. Though menopausal symptoms tend to be most severe in the first two to three years after a woman's last period, they can also be significant during perimenopause. The symptoms related to perimenopause (such as hot flashes and night sweats) can occur even five years before your last period.
Some women are able to control perimenopausal symptoms through lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes and lowering thermostats. Other women take low-dose oral contraceptives to make their periods more regular and to reduce the disruptive symptoms.
For a more detailed discussion of this topic and related ones, you may find my book, Hot Flashes, Hormones & Your Health (McGraw-Hill), to be of interest. This book discusses the latest scientific evidence on the effects of hormone therapy and other options for symptom management, and helps you decide which treatment is best suited to your personal health profile.
Q2. Can cholesterol meds, antidepressants, or high blood pressure meds cause light menstruation postmenopausally? I stopped having periods when I was 50 years old — I am now 68 — but I am on numerous meds and am now having a light period.
— Wanda, Alaska
There are not many medications that can cause postmenopausal bleeding, and you can't make the assumption that it's the meds that are responsible. While bleeding can be a side effect of taking new medications that affect hormone levels, it's not likely. Also, the drugs that you're taking are not usually linked to vaginal bleeding.
Once you've gone through menopause, unless you're on hormone therapy (especially cyclical hormone therapy), any menstrual bleeding is of concern and needs to be evaluated. You're 18 years past menopause and are having postmenopausal bleeding, so you must see a doctor. I don't mean to scare you, but this bleeding might be a sign of an overgrowth of the tissue lining the uterus (endometrial hyperplasia), a uterine fibroid or polyp, or even endometrial cancer. Your doctor may do a biopsy and perform a D&C, a procedure to remove the endometrium from inside the uterus, depending on what he or she finds. The first step is to see your doctor, though, for an examination to determine what's going on.
Q3. What can it mean when you bleed five years after menopause? Does it mean I could have some type of cancer? What else could it be, and what should I do?
— Rosa, North Carolina
Any woman who begins bleeding after menopause (one year without a period) should go see her doctor. Assuming that you haven't just started hormone therapy, which can lead to withdrawal bleeding, this bleeding may be due to underlying health problems and should be carefully evaluated.
There are many benign causes for postmenopausal bleeding, such as fibroids, benign polyps, endometriosis, hyperplasia, and a benign overgrowth of the uterus. The bigger concern, however, is that endometrial or uterine cancer may be the cause of the bleeding. You may need to have an ultrasound or an aspiration biopsy of the endometrium, a simple procedure that provides a sample of tissue from the lining of the uterus. This sample can be examined under the microscope and will provide valuable information.
This is not something to ignore, though I want to provide some reassurance that most causes of postmenopausal bleeding can be readily treated. Even if uterine cancer is the cause, if it's found at an early stage, it can be completely curable. The bleeding can be a warning signal that leads to an earlier diagnosis.

As the 2013/2014 planting and ploughing season winds down an improved harvest is expected this year. This, according to the Ministry of Agriculture could be as a result of the good rains the country received during the year. However, the ministry also believes that the revised guidelines of the Integrated Support Programme for Arable Agriculture Development (ISPAAD) may be paying off.
The Ministry of Agriculture In 2013 revised the ISPAAD guidelines to positively favour all different categories of farmers in a bid to improve the county's food security. The revision saw an increase on the payments of ploughing and planting from P400 to P800 for row planters and P400 for those who use broadcasting method. Through ISPAAD, farmers get free seeds from the government while they are also sold fertilisers at subsidised prices to improve their production.
Responding to a questionnaire from this publication on whether ISPAAD is making strides, the ministry's spokesperson, Boikhutso Rabasha, indicated that since the revision of ISPAAD guidelines there has been an increased crop harvest country wide. Rabasha pointed that the revision has seen the number of farmers who ploughed and planted reaching 121 511, which is the highest recorded ever. This in turn resulted in the increase in the number of hectares planted hence the improved output. "We recorded the highest number of farmers who ploughed and planted as well as an increase in the number of hectares planted which reached 417 000 ha ever since the inception of ISPAAD," said Rabasha. The size of land ploughed and planted during the 2013/2014 season surpassed the ministry's estimated 337 000 hectares.
According to the ministry, to date 178,763 mega tonnes of harvest have been recorded. The numbers are expected to increase as the production data collection for this year is still underway, with more farmers still to report their crop harvests. This ploughing season, however has been clouded with challenges that at some point threatened the production. There were shortages of seeds and farmers had to travel long distances to Gaborone to collect them.
Even though the 2013/2014 season is still winding down the ministry has already started preparations for the coming ploughing season to make sure all goes smoothly. Rabasha told this publication that tenders for the supply of inputs such as seeds and fertilisers have already been awarded. "Dispatches are already on-going to the districts for distribution to farmers," she said. She went on to ask farmers to liaise with their area frontline extension workers for authorisation to buy inputs and any advice they may need on the preparations of the coming ploughing season.
The other issue that was of concern from the farmers and tractor contractors was the late payments for the work they did. At some point, the payments were suspended as the funds ran out and government was still trying to source some more. However, in some instances the ministry of agriculture indicated that the delays were a result of missing documents needed for the payments. Rabasha therefore encouraged beneficiaries and suppliers to work hand in hand with the ministry to ensure that all documents needed are well prepared and signed accordingly. She said preparations for payments are underway as they are already creating accounts of would be contractors and individual beneficiaries into the Government Accounting and Budgeting System (GABS) for easy payments. The ministry is working around the clock to make sure payments are done in time as we are as also exploring the possibilities of using post offices for the payments," revealed Rabasha.
Even though Rabasha believe that the number of farmers who ploughed and planted in the past season will keep increasing, she said that would solely depend on the response of individual farmers. She added that the onset and distribution of the rains will also have an effect on the number of people who will take part in the 2014/2015 ploughing season.
Contacted for comment farmers showed satisfaction on the improved ISPAAD guidelines saying they are beginning to pay off. Mmamotse Mogapi a farmer in Mmankgodi said there used to be shortage of tractors as owners felt the money paid was low. Now that the amount of money has been increased Mogapi pointed that more tractor owners are coming forward to plough for the people in the area.
"Shortage of tractors used to be a major problem but now it is a bit better than in the past," she said Mogapi. She believes that with this more farmers will continue to plough and plant their fields as the resources will be readily available for them.
Another farmer Keabetswe Modibedi who said he ploughed late last season due to shortage of seeds and fertilisers is hopeful that this season the ministry of agriculture will be able to organise everything well for them to plough in time. Modibedi said ploughing in time is good because one is able to produce good quality products that are able to give him returns. Just like Mogapi, Modibedi feels ISPAAD has helped to get more farmers to plough since they are provided free seeds and subsidised fertilisers and their fields are ploughed for free as government pays for it.

There are several similarities of buying a large boat and buying a home. However, as opposed to the investment increasing in value over time as many properties do, the opposite is true on a boat. Boats live in the water and most large boats in salt water, which is very hard on them. Maintenance of the vessel is a huge factor in how well they hold up over time.
There are a lot of things to maintain especially on sailing vessels. Beyond the maintenance of the motors there are all the different systems onboard with electrical and plumbing connections, all the rigging (standing and running), plus the sails to replace and maintain. There's also the dinghy and its motor. And typically the larger the vessel the more systems there are onboard to maintain (marine heads, air conditioning, generator, inverters, water makers, solar/wind systems, and a bunch of electronics).
After a ton of research we narrowed down our search to three makes of sailing catamarans and out of the three we have become increasingly fond of the Lagoon 410. It is a 41 foot long boat and 23 foot wide. We especially like the Lagoon because these boats are especially bright and very spacious. The Lagoon has a strong presence in the charter/rental world, because they are so comfortable, so they are a well known popular boat.
Typically vessels used in charter do really well having the maximum number of cabins and heads (bathrooms) available to pack as many people as possible onboard. There are typically several versions or layouts of the same vessel that were made. We prefer the owner version of the Lagoon 410 with two heads. The owner version has three cabins as opposed to four and in lieu of the extra cabin there is a much larger head forward in the owners suite in addition to a desk and additional storage. The owner version with two heads is more spacious and ideal for us. However, there are much fewer of them on the market and typically add about thirty grand on to the price of the charter version of the same vessel.
Another consideration is when the vessel has been in charter its generally thought of as not as well cared for, much like a rental property or rental car, and much less desired by buyers. The asking price of the vessel will reflect this concern making them considerably less expensive. A much newer vessel will be priced much more affordably and thus has opened us up to the idea of a previously chartered vessel. As is the case with purchasing a home there are always pros and cons to each one that you have to weigh.
The process for buying a large used vessel typically consists of the following steps:
An experienced and trusted broker is very helpful, is the equivalent of a real-estate agent for boats, and is paid for by the seller. We were referred a broker by a trusted friend that is an experienced Captain with a brokers license. Captain Jaye Melanson recommended Greg Bracken of East West Yachts in Fort Pierce, FL. He is a really nice guy and has been very helpful to us.
After you find the vessel you want you make an offer through a purchase agreement much like buying a home. If you and the seller come to terms on the purchase agreement you put down the deposit for the vessel (10% into an escrow account within 72hrs after contract is signed) and should move forward with scheduling a haul-out, survey, and sea trial. If you are financing the vessel these are mandatory and personally seems like a no-brainer but apparently some cash buyers forego this step.
It is typically stated in the contract that the purchase of the vessel is subject to survey, sea trial, financing (if applicable), and insurability of the vessel.
The haul-out, survey, and sea trial is paid for by the buyer. The surveyor is therefore chosen and hired by the buyer. The seller is responsible for the captain (either by the owner or hired by the owner) and gas. It requires hauling the boat out of the water to be completely inspected and then taken into the ocean or a body of water where sails can be raised and motors revved for the sea trial.
The importance of a really good surveyor cannot be overstated, as a poor surveyor can be very costly for the buyer over the long haul and also dangerous if safety issues are not recognized. Based on the findings of the survey and sea trial you can potentially further negotiate the purchase agreement.
If the buyer and seller come to terms after the survey and sea trial the closing date is scheduled.
