Dating is a stage of romantic relationships in humans whereby two people meet socially with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a prospective partner in an intimate relationship or marriage.
It is a form of courtship, consisting of social activities done by the couple, either alone or with others.
Communities exerted pressure on people to form pair-bonds in places such as Europe; in China, society "demanded people get married before having a sexual relationship" and many societies found that some formally recognized bond between a man and a woman was the best way of rearing and educating children as well as helping to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings regarding competition for mates.
Generally, during much of recorded history of humans in civilization, and into the Middle Ages in Europe, weddings were seen as business arrangements between families, while romance was something that happened outside of marriage discreetly, such as covert meetings.
From the standpoint of anthropology and sociology, dating is linked with other institutions such as marriage and the family which have also been changing rapidly and which have been subject to many forces, including advances in technology and medicine.Cars extended the range of dating as well as enabled back-seat sexual exploration.In the mid-twentieth century, the advent of birth control as well as safer procedures for abortion changed the equation considerably, and there was less pressure to marry as a means for satisfying sexual urges.In the twentieth century, dating was sometimes seen as a precursor to marriage but it could also be considered as an end-in-itself, that is, an informal social activity akin to friendship.It generally happened in that portion of a person's life before the age of marriage, enabled dates to be arranged without face-to-face contact.

At Creativeminds we can manage your social media accounts for you, in order to help your business maintain a strong social media presence.
A strong social media presence can be achieved through taking a strategic and serious approach to social media. With your social media accounts at the forefront of your brand, acting as the voice of your company, it is important that you portray an image that will enhance your reputation.
By figuring out a schedule that best works for your business, you can ensure that you consistently post high quality and high performing content. Developing a social marketing strategy, that takes into consideration your objectives and goals as a business, gives the content you share a clear direction, which should lead to an increase in activity throughout your social media.
Over time you can develop an understanding of your social following and what they do and don't like and what type of content generates a better response. A social media strategy should be a constant process of refinement. Since social media is evolving at a very fast pace, you may find content that proved successful six months ago might not still be successful now. Therefore, it is important to consistently monitor the content you post and whether or not it has a positive impact on the company.
Without a clear strategy for your social media, you could easily end up overusing one social networking site whilst neglecting others. In order to make your content receive the largest reach, it is essential that you plan which social media channels you want to use to promote each piece of content.
Here are a few that we would consider when making your company's social media marketing schedule.
Targets, goals and objectives
Establish several clear targets that you hope to achieve. Without objectives, you won't be able to determine whether your social media presence is having a successful impact on your company.
Competitors and client's social media presence
Take a look at your competitor's social media accounts and come up with a plan to distinguish your brand from them. Consumers can also offer inspiration for your social media accounts. By developing an understanding of your target audience's habits and the way they phrase their messages, you can use this as a basis for your social media marketing plan.
Information to include in your schedule
Social media marketing strategies will vary from business to business. What works well for one business might not work well for another business. Here are a few examples of what we would include in your schedule in order to make it work most efficiently for your business:
- Which social networking sites to use.
- When and how frequently to post.
- How you are going to promote your content.
- How you are going to measure the success of your social media accounts.

782 medical seats of Bihar see counselling
Bihar : Sunday saw 85% state quota or 782 seats of government medical colleges in Bihar having their commence counselings. The cut off mark for general category being a score of 489 in National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2016. The cut-offs for ST, SC, EBC, BC and reserved category girls is 361, 352, 449, 472 and 464 respectively.
There are a total of 950 seats in the nine government medical colleges in Bihar, of which 142 belong to the all India quota and 26 are for central nominees. Private medical colleges will also be taking in medical entrants based on their NEET results. Though these institutions do have other means of selecting students.
The first round of counselling and seat allotments for the 15%all India quota is over. 3,800 seats have been filled with some of the popular colleges, such as Delhi's Maulana Azad Medical College, Lady Hardinge Medical College, University College of Medical Sciences and VMMC and Safdarjung Hospital and Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh being the preferred choices of medical aspirants.
Sunday was the last date for selected students to report at the medical college allotted to them under the all-India quota in Round I, failure to report will lead to forfeiture of the seat.
All colleges will then assess the number of seats remaining vacant and students will be asked to lock their choices for Round II of all-India counselling on September 9 and 10. The general category cut-off for all-India quota seats was 468-685 marks in the first round. However, students who have secured rank till 7,000 are expected to get seats in the second round of all-India counselling, said Bipin Kumar Singh, director of a coaching institute in Patna.
Interestingly on Saturday, a section of medical aspirants staged a protest outside KPC Medical College and Hospital after names of 77 selected candidates were published . There complaint being that despite having a better rank than those published they had been denied admission.
"The admission procedure which was followed by the hospital is faulty. They have selected the first 77 candidates who could afford to pay a higher fee and not on merit. The agitated students initially demanded to meet the principal which was denied. Now, we have decided to move the court on Monday. My All India Rank is 28000. I have a category rank of 10000. The merit list doesn't mention the category like OBC, PD or SC, ST, of any selected candidates and only their rank. Moreover, the last person on merit list has got a 174468 category rank. Then how can I be denied of admission?" questioned Subhankar Dey, a medical candidate, reports TOI

There's been quite a few thing happening this month in amongst the teaching and painting.
The Residential Painting Holiday in France next year has been organised for Saturday, 11th to 18th June, together with completely new excursions as an optional extra on the days off (see Residential page).
An exhibition of my artwork was held at Cowes Sailing Club, together with other local artists, to raise funds for the RNLI – a very worthwhile cause, especially as Cowes is such a yachting haven. I got to meet other artists and a lot of new people on the Island whilst thoroughly enjoying myself aided by the fact that it was a wonderfully hot day!
This week, a wave of inspiration had me painting various sized pieces of wood and creating seascapes which are now available for purchase.

So considering that the oldest copies of the gospels are dated to around 400 AD (I'm thinking of the Codex Sinaiticus), how do scholars go about estimating the date of composition of the gospels? I mean I'm sure there are some textual clues; I mean I assume the usage of Koine would probably change somewhat over 300+ years but are there other clues that scholars use to estimate the general time of composition?
Are you looking for the general method as Jon describes or more specifics from internal clues of the books? For example, Luke shows an interest in this kind of events (he records them at X, Y, and Z). However, he does not record two similar events which would make his case well. We can thus infer that he wrote Acts before those events took place. – Frank Luke Mar 12 '13 at 12:00
Manuscript Evidence
While the Codex Sinaiticus dates from the 4th century, other manuscript fragments date much earlier. The Greek unical codices provide important clues to the development of the Canon, but are less important as evidence of the date of composition. For instance, this is a fragment of the Gospel of John:
Dating the papyrus scrap is difficult, but based on the style of the script used, it's probably between 117 CE and 138 CE. (Slightly larger ranges are more-likely to include the actual date, but also begin to lose accuracy. Circa 125 CE is the standard single-point estimate.) Because the codex P52 came from was written in Alexandria and the gospel originated elsewhere, the gospel of John must go back to the 1st century.
The Synoptic Problem
If we can date John to the 1st century, we can have some confidence that the other gospels are at least as old. For one thing, there's evidence that the author of John was aware of the synoptic gospels. In addition, many scholars believe that Luke and Matthew had Mark available when they wrote their biographies of Jesus. They additionally might have had access to an even earlier source. For our purposes, the exact solution to the synoptic problem doesn't matter; what does matter is that the gospels where not written at the same time.
If we fix P52 at 125 CE and string the dependencies together, we get a timeline like this:
Jesus <- Q <- Mark <- Luke/Matthew <- John <- P52
30 or 33 <- t1 <- t2 <- t3 <- t4 <- c. 125 CE
So in the ~92 years between Jesus' life and P52 we need to fit in this sequence of development. There's certainly plenty of leeway here. Mark (
t2) has been dated as late as 80 CE, which would bunch all the gospels to the end of the 1st and beginning of the 2nd century. On the other hand, the dates could be clustered nearer to the middle of the 1st century without straining the timeline or credibility.
Finally, there is the critical question of how the gospels relate to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Internal evidence strongly suggests that Mark was written either while the Roman legions were moving toward the siege of Jerusalem or shortly afterward. It could very well be that the Great Revolt was a motivation for the composition of Mark as the Jerusalem church and its eyewitness tradition would have been in peril. If so, all gospels dependent on Mark (i.e., the other Synoptics) must originate from the decades following 70 CE.
Since Paul's undisputed letters can all be dated from 50 to 60 CE, the picture that emerges is a nearly continual stream of Christian writing from two decades after the crucifixion to today. Much of the New Testament seems to have been written in response to particular problems the nascent religion actually faced.
Linguistic Evidence
Unfortunately, Koine Greek, the trade language that the New Testament was written in, seems not to be useful for dating the text of the Gospels. Some have speculated that Matthew was originally an Aramaic text, but since the earliest manuscripts of Matthew are in Greek, that remains a speculation. If it could be shown that Matthew was originally written in the language Jesus likely spoke, we could date that gospel much earlier. As it is, the linguistic evidence is minimally useful, at best, when it comes to dating the New Testament.
Dating of ancient texts is as much an art as a science. Dating philosophy both derives from and informs hermeneutical assumptions, so an accurate timeline that is universally accepted seems impossible. (Though more manuscript discoveries might bring more certainty.) Therefore, I offer this as my personal best estimate:
Jesus <- Q <- Mark <- Luke/Matthew <- John <- P52
30 or 33 <- 40? <- 70? <- 80? <- 90? <- c. 125 CE
Thank you for such a thorough and well-considered answer. – Onorio Catenacci Jun 7 '12 at 18:27
@Onorio: Thank you for the softball pitch. ;-) Over time, I'm collecting a good series of answers to justify the dating scheme I have in my mind. This was a useful piece. – Jon Ericson♦ Jun 7 '12 at 18:29
Well I had some notions about how dating may have been arrived at (e. g. other documents which could be dated mentioning the gospels) but I was wondering what other sorts of techniques may be employed. – Onorio Catenacci Jun 7 '12 at 18:31
As a preterist, I believe the entire canon was completed before the destruction of the Temple. Throughout the Old Testament, beginning with Noah's ark, the new house, the new Covenant "shelter," is always constructed before the destruction of the old. In fact, it is persecution from the old that generally tempers and humbles and proves the new. We see this is the houses of Saul and David, Herod and Christ. So the Firstfruits church (AD30-70) was a different entity to what followed, as different as firstfruits is from harvest. It was a result of the opening of the New Covenant scroll in heaven (AD30 - Rev. 4-5) and culminating in the little scroll of John, the final judgments against the Old Covenant order before its destruction. Judgment begins at the house of God.
Interestingly, the pattern of the Torah (Moses) being completed before the conquest of Canaan supports this idea. The entire Canon was completed by Greater Moses before a New Israel set out to conquer not the Land but the World.
If the Revelation was written prior to AD70, then the later epistles (final warnings to Jewish Christians) were written around the same time or earlier, especially Hebrews, which serves as a kind of New Covenant Deuteronomy. Before this, we have the epistles to Gentile cities, with many dealings with Judaizing doctrine and Judaistic false teachers (the first gnostics). It seems to me the synoptic gospels themselves were composed quite early. As my favourite theologian James Jordan observes, Judaism was not strictly an oral culture. When any great Covenantal event happened, their first response would be, "Where's the book?"
Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy has some interesting observations in his book "Fruit of Lips." I have some comments on it here.
My main point of course is that we are not limited to mere documentary evidence, either internal or external, in dating the gospels. Being the "fourth testament" (with a break of hundreds of years between each deposit of Scripture), we can see that God works in consistent ways. This ties the New Testament books to historical events as a liturgical, even sacrificial process, recapitulating the same thing found many times over in Israel's history. Familiarity with that makes dating the gospels a lot easier.
As it happens, I lean toward the preterist view myself. But that doesn't mean the books were completed before the temple was destroyed; it just means Jesus prophesied the destruction before it happened. Why none of the NT authors trumpeted the success of the prophesy is a mystery, however. I still need to update my answer to address that point. – Jon Ericson♦ Mar 12 '13 at 18:09
Thanks Jon. I think it would boil down to what one thinks is going on in the Revelation. Jordan sees it as a rundown of events from Acts to AD70, with a brief glimpse of the current age in Rev 20. Jesus ascends as Firstfruits Lamb (AD30) and opens the NC scroll. The seals broken are the apostolic witness, and the promise of vengeance for all the innocent blood from Abel. The final seal is actually the day of Pentecost. War between false and true Jews (Christians) ensues. The Trumpets are the final apostolic warnings, and the bowls are the destruction of the old order (seven sprinklings). – Mike Bull Mar 12 '13 at 21:46
The saints sealed (as mini scrolls) in Rev 7 are slain and resurrected, and then put into government. So the apostolic church must be defined as a transitional body which ended with the Temple. This would support the idea that the giving of the canon by the Spirit was part of that initial, and now finished, generation. It also makes sense of the end of the apostolic gifts, which were a sign to Israel. – Mike Bull Mar 12 '13 at 21:48

HS2 has appointed Emma Head as corporate health and safety director.
Head, who will report directly to chief executive Simon Kirby, will join from Network Rail where she serves as director of safety strategy. At NR she led the strategic safety agenda focusing on technology, working practices, culture change, risk management and system safety both internally and across the industry.
Commenting on the appointment Kirby said: "Emma represents a hugely important addition to the HS2 team. Her experience of driving through effective and lasting change on the existing rail network and her unfailing commitment to delivering the highest levels of safety for employees, passengers and local communities will be vital as we move closer to the start of construction in two years' time.
"Building from scratch, HS2 has the opportunity to ensure safety is always our key priority. Freed from the constraints of working with an essentially Victorian rail network, HS2 will be able to provide a step change in the way we approach risk management and system safety as well as working culture and practices."
Head, who will take up her role in August, said she is looking forward to getting started and helping to build the safest railway the UK has ever seen.
"HS2 is an exciting, ambitious and challenging project. It will be a catalyst for positive change both locally and nationally. But it will also provide a unique opportunity to build on our experience and learnings from the existing rail network, as well as relevant foreign experience, making health and safety the first consideration in everything we do."

Review Your Role, Responsibilities and Boundaries as a Teacher/ in Terms of the Teacher Training Cycle.
The teacher training cycle involves the preparation of subject matter with the deliverance of information, knowledge, skills and evaluation of the outcome with respect to its audience and the tutor. According to many educational text books there are five areas to the educational cycle: Identifying needs.
Plan/design of the course.
(Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector, A Gravells 2008, p28) While this 'cycle' can be started and finished at any point, it is best followed all the way though for it to be the most effective. With this as the base to form any other teacher activity the role, from a dictionary definition would be" the function assumed or part played by a person or thing in a particular situation". http://oxforddictionaries.com Date accessed 16/05/11.Inside the role will be the responsibilities – "a thing which one is required to do as part of a job, role, or legal obligation" http://oxforddictionaries.com Date accessed 16/05/11 and enveloping these would be teacher boundaries – "a limit of something abstract, especially a subject or sphere of activity" http://oxforddictionaries.com Date accessed 16/05/11.
Having decided what the aim of the teaching is from the governing body and then to design the correct levels from these requirements, we have to consider who is going to be receiving it. Our learners will have different individual and group learning abilities, these will hopefully have been identified prior to the first lesson from our initial interviews/ inductions, from this any special assistance required in basic skills or other disabilities/additional training requirements etc will be highlighted and action plans put in place. Thought should be given to the expected ages of our class, generally they fall in to two ranges; young adults /school leavers and mature...

The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), says Early Childhood Development (ECD) is key to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Mrs Swadchet Sankey , Education Specialist, UNICEF disclosed this at a media dialogue on ECD organised by UNICEF in collaboration with the Child Rights Information Bureau of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture on Wednesday in Kano.
Sankey said, "SDGs present an opportunity to connect ECD with efforts to create equity, productivity, prosperity and sustainable growth for a more peaceful future. "Embedded in the SDGs is hunger, health, education and justice targeting on malnutrition, child mortality, early learning and violence target that outline an agenda for ECD". Presenting a paper tagged "Perspectives of ECD she identified the period as ranging from conception to pre-primary school age. Sankey described the period as critical and single window opportunity to shape the development of a child's brain, adding that at every stage, the child was expected to acquire certain developmental skills. She explained that during this period the brain formed at an unrepeated speed, giving shape and depth to children's cognitive, emotional and social development which influences their capacity to learn, solve problems and to relate with others. This according to her will in a long way have significant impact on their adult lives, affecting their ability to earn a living and contribute to their societies and their future happiness. The specialist, who identified SDGs 3 and 4 which deals with good health and education as targeting ECD, said that it also cut across the 17 goals. She noted that through quality ECD, all children irrespective of background would have access to quality care, education, nutrition, protection among others. She also expressed optimism that through improved investment, SDGs would be realised. Sankey further noted that ECD would aid in driving transformation agenda describing it as a cost effective strategies for poverty eradication. According to her, there was the need to prioritise target areas adding that governments, International organisations, scientists, researchers and partners must collaborate to ensure children have opportunity to develop to their full potentials. He noted that through such efforts the nation would benefit with healthier population, skilled work-forces, economic growth and greater prosperity. "ECD is the foundation of achieving SDGs. If we do not increase investment on ECD in early years we will have issues in achieving SDGs because all the 17 goals are tied to it because the child is at the centre of it all. "You want to eradicate poverty, gender inequality, you need to invest in the children; you want to improve the economy among others you need to invest in children," she noted. Sankey, who described early childhood as a critical opportunity to shape a child's development emphasised that nurturing children, effective stimulation among others would help them to learn, laugh, feel joy and become more creative and imaginative. She emphasised that `these relatively simple' actions have a ripple impact on the child's long-term development, education and future successes. Sankey urged governments and policy makers to assist parents and caregivers build enriching environment where they could pay loving attention to their babies and young children. According to her, any environment that is not sensitive to nutrition, health and security of children is not a complete environment for ECD. Sankey said the media dialogue was to expose journalists on the importance of early childhood years and the need for government to invest more on early learning, nutrition, health among others.

Written by the TCM expert, Dr. Nat Kringoudis…
"I'm a passionate hair person. I love hair. In fact, I'm pretty obsessed with having nice hair. I'm also very particular about my hair and I am fortunate enough to have co-operative hair most of the time.
I have no doubt that to some degree most beauty products do something to the state of hair, skin and nails but I'm also here to tell you that you can slather, brush, comb and lather all products on the planet through your luscious locks or on your dry cuticles but at the end of the day if you're not putting the right foods into your body – any result from products will only be short lived.
From a Chinese Medicine perspective – healthy hair and nails is dependent on good blood circulation to the extremities. When a person is blood deficient or jing deficient (a term we use to describe our 'essence' or 'youth'), often the hair is compromised or the nails become brittle because the nutrients simply aren't there to nourish it. When we are deficient of these properties we can see poor quality hair, premature greying and dry, broken, frizzy hard to manage hair and weak, dry, peeling and dull nails. So using foods that assist in supplementing works a treat – and probably iron out a few other creases in your beautiful body along the way.
With this all in mind – today I'm sharing my Top 5 shiny hair and nail building super foods.
- Salmon is hard to beat when it comes to a 'beauty superfood'. This is one food you can't go past to give have your hair in tip-top condition. It's full of omega 3, fatty acids, high quality protein, B12 & iron. These essentials are great for a healthy scalp and nails. Make sure your fish isn't farmed – farmed fish is nasty and substantially lacks nutrients. Fresh deep-sea fish is always the best choice.
- Full of antioxidants, Vitamins C & A, dark green leafy veg is necessary to assist your hair follicles to produce sebum. It's said that sebum (hair oil) is the hair's natural conditioner. Stripping the hair may lead to excess oil as the hair follicle goes into overdrive to put back what you may be taking away by washing your hair. Balance is key.
- It's liberating to know that fat doesn't make us fat (but sugar on the other hand will undoubtedly end up on your hips!). Oils, be them olive oil or flaxseed oil or even good old coconut oil as well as those found in nuts, seeds and avocado are all food for good skin, hair and nails. Adding a good drop of flaxseed oil or olive oil to your smoothie or a spoon of coconut oil to your tea is a great way to include this into your diet. Plus it helps you feel nutritionally satisfied, meaning it tells your brain that you are full and you'll find that you don't need to eat as much food because your body is nutritionally satisfied. You can't overdoes on good fats – try it, I dare you. Your body just doesn't allow you to overeat fat.
- I am a huge fan. For me it must be Greek yoghurt – they know how to make good yoghurt! High in calcium as well as a probiotics, yoghurt is good for strong healthy hair, nails and bones. For many of you who are lactose intolerant, yoghurt is something that can often be digested because of its ability to work on the gut.
- High in protein and provide the body with essential vitamins including iron and zinc – both important for healthy, shiny hair and strong nails as well as vitamin B & biotin. Of course you can get these little beauties in any way you can and don't forget the power of a good hair mask to really give you some shine. Equally you can drop a raw egg into your smoothie or serve up a poached egg alongside your evening meal.
But don't forget water!! Where would our bodies be without water? We need water to be well hydrated, which contributes to healthy, shiny hair. Hair that doesn't get oily quickly – oily hair can be a sign of toxic build up. That extends to clear liquids like tea. A cup of YourTea or herbal tea helps to make up your daily fluid intake. Our bodies thrive on around 3L of water per day.
It's always important to come back to good nutrition and using food as medicine for therapeutic value. That's the way our bodies were intended to be nourished so make deliberate food choices and the rewards will be very obvious – you'll be the envy of your friends with your glossy, luscious locks!".
With Love,
Your Tea

Home › Forums › Construction › Optoma projector setting
June 1, 2017 at 1:55 pm #2712
I finally received my GT1080darbee, works fantastic withh all except X-plane 11. i can see movies, pictures with nice HD resolution no problems at all. But with X-plane Im having a strange situation. the image is not correct. See the attached picture, the vertical lines are toward the center of the screen or incline, both sides are incline inward.If all other things looks correct, I cant say is the projector. but why only with xplane? I need help from any of you that had similar experience ot that have more know how to set a projector. i also need help tuning the image for better resolution with x-plane. all Movies and pictures has perfect resolution. Thanks in advanceJune 1, 2017 at 1:56 pm #2713June 1, 2017 at 6:34 pm #2718Richard WolffParticipant
You can fix this. Go to settings, graphics, and adjust the various parameters for each monitor. Try these: main monitor 97 degree field of view, all other numbers zero. Left monitor, field of view 57 degrees, lateral offset -90, roll and vertical (pitch) 0. I set the flat offsets to 0 and -1.1. For the right monitor, FOV 57 degrees, lateral offset 90, roll -2 or a bit more, flat offsets 0 and -0.75.
You'll have to experiment with your particular setup and the numbers will change depending on whether you are sitting in the pilot's seat, the co-pilot's seat or standing at the center back (where you might put a camera). Sadly, for a perfect setup everywhere, you need something like those 270 degree screens with three projectors.
RichardJune 2, 2017 at 11:02 pm #2729
Richard, thanks for the suggestions. I found that X-plane 11 probably has a bug and i will formally document it. I follow your recommendations for front screen and the vertical objects aligned perfect. I did some temporary adjustments until a final fix from X-plane guys. I have a short throw optoma, not the UST so I need to use the advantage of my high ceiling to project lower than my gauges shield. i installed my GT1080 high and adjusted the front screen vertically and went up to a value of 22, my side screens were aligned really good and aside of the color difference and less definition than LED TVs the horizon was looking great. Except the issue described in my previous post. i discovered that increasing the vertical value to lower the cowl combined with a projector the vertical lines start to incline to the center, bigger the number, bigger the distortion.
I physically lowered my projector and also via menu lowered the lens to get the cowl as low as possible, then use a setting of 7 for the front screen vertical. Now it was difficult to adjust the horizon and the FOV to have near the same zoom and level horizons. After some hours I was not able to get the same visual I had before when had the projector close to the ceiling. As a note, the Optoma has perfect aliment with any other software, movie or picture i display in the screen. Having the projector so low result in close to half of the projection over my cockpit roof, anyway i still can see a full view with a very minor side of the right screen border. Forgot to mention that I have my setup to the let side of the screen and not centered, I was forced to move my setup back from the screen to project lower than the gauge shield. Feel like I am flying with left side wind. i will continue my testing and probably will return to the original setup, better horizon and leave with the incline poles and trees in the ground.
I still try to understand why the reason for this deflection with a projector and not with any of the LCD I have, with LCD TV I can go up to a setting of 30 in the vertical and everything is aligned perfectly. I do not know if it is only with the GT1080 DarbeeJanuary 7, 2018 at 4:11 am #3416C152 SteveParticipant
Pedro, any update on these issues with the GT1080? Can you share photos from the way you mounted the projector, height and distance of cockpit? Thanks!

For my one or two Los Angeles readers, I wanted to offer some ideas on places to go, besides Knott's Halloween Haunt, to celebrate Halloween...
The Hallowed Haunting Grounds is an annual haunted house (this is the 32nd "manisfestation") a Studio City man puts together on his own front lawn. Go to his site, check out his image gallery, and you'll see why this place already creeps me out... Thursday, Oct. 28th thru Sunday, Oct. 31 starting at 7pm.
Hollywood Hellhouse at 4774 Hollywood Blvd, is a straight adaptation of the Christian hellhouses put on through the bible-belt and beyond that feature the REAL horrors of modern life, including homosexuality, promiscuity, and abortion. I want to go wearing my shirt depicting Satan holding the bible with the caption: "Read any good books lately?"
I've heard about Spooky House in Woodland Hills for a few years, and the reviews have also been that its much scarier, albeit smaller, than Knotts Scary Farm Halloween Haunt. Spooky House features three themed "mazes" this year, The Realm of Lost Souls that they claim is the largest haunt in California, an evil hotel known as Dead & Breakfast, and the zombie infested Blood, Bath & Beyond - the title alone is reason enough to go.
The Movieland Murder and Mayhem Tour: Hollywood Roosevelt Edition originally caught my edition because it was called a "walking tour", and the Roosevelt, a classic hotel two blocks from my apartment, used to be a frequent place Claire and I would sneak into to use the pool... until the closed the pool for renovation at the beginning of this summer. Anyway, the whole show is an improv/comedy thing being held at bang Improv on Fairfax. Still, a ghost themed show, based on one of my own favorite haunts, sounds like a lot of fun. Saturday at 8pm in October.
And most importantly, since I'm a featured segment of it...
The Scary Election Show, a mix of Halloween and political madness just in time for the election, will feature "How To Vote" which they call "The most kick ass PSA you will have ever seen!" At the Empty Stage Theatre, Thursday Oct. 28th, 9pm, $10 admission.
...For those of you who just can't get enough, I've also posted the original, rough cut of "How To Vote" ... Roborants and My Single Mom Life loved "How To Vote" enough to urge people to watch it... and Simply Saidy gets extra special attention because every visitor to her site is forced to watch "How To Vote".

Do not stir or the fish will break up. Cover and simmer for six to eight minutes, until the fish is cooked. Serve sprinkled with fresh parsley and some lemon zest.

Jewish Values: Mozart Question, The
Publication Year:
Number of Pages:
71 p.
A famous violinist reveals to a young reporter a life-long secret. The story is of the violinist himself who, as a child, is taught to play his mother's violin by an old man whom he meets fiddling in a Venetian square. Paolo knows that his parents had both been violinists and that, for reasons they won't explain, they never play. When he takes his teacher to meet them, they realize that they knew one another long ago, when they all were forced by the Nazis to play in the Auschwitz orchestra. The horror of this experience has caused Paolo's father to reject music, but he agrees to let his talented son play so long as it isn't Mozart. Now, with his father gone and his fiftieth birthday concert approaching, Paolo Levi is preparing to play Mozart for the first time in his life. The story is filled with sentiment, coincidence, and a complete silence about the Jewish identity of the prisoners, but it is written lyrically and enhanced by evocative illustrations of Venice and the camp.

Snapshot on wine consumption in South America
The Argentinian is a wine connoisseur and a daily consumer. Nearly 75% of the country's wine production is consumed locally. Uruguayan also like wine, consuming 90% of their own production. Only Chileans are lagging behind, drinking twice less than the Argentineans.
In Argentina, red wines represents 80% of the consumption but whites progress and rosé is also making its way. Argentina and Chile are big wine exporters, especially to the United States, Brazil (where Chile has 50 % of the overall import market) but also England or Germany. Brazilians still prefer by far beer to wine with only 2 liters of wine per inhabitant and per year (where France is close to 50 liters…) but the consumption is progressing.
One of the advantages for those who live in the region is that Argentina, Chile or Uruguay mostly export entry or mid-range wines to Europe or the United States. High-end wines are sold in the domestic markets given their uncompetitive international price level. Therefore we can say that living in the region is a privilege in a sense!
Specialised wine merchants: certainly still the best way to by good wine in Latin America
Where should I buy my wine in Argentina, Brazil or Uruguay?
In Argentina, there are multiple distribution channels. Small neighborhood supermarkets, Hypermarkets and wine merchants (vinotecas). Because of the strong nationwide thermal amplitudes, storage conditions are sometimes disastrous (often through ignorance), therefore it is crucial to carefully choose the place where one buys his wine.
It is not uncommon to observe pallets of wine on car parks of hypermarkets in full heat or overexposed to light. It is rather advisable to go to Vinotecas where, normally, handling and storage conditions should be better, even if the price is sometimes a bit higher. If you can avoid for few additional pesos or reals the disaster of arriving at a dinner with a bottle oxidized or corked…
In Argentina, the five major specialized retailers are Winery, Ligier, Grandcru, Tonelprivado and Frappé. In Montevideo, Los Dominguez or Las Croabas are some of the well-knowns. As in Europe, there are numerous small district retailers as well. In Brazil, there are of course the hypermarkets such as Pão de Açúcar, Carrefour or Big but many small specialized merchants as well.
São Paulo for example has numerous Vinotecas which are also for some of them large importers. Mistral, Grandcru (largest offering of Argentinean and Chilean wines), Worldwine or Zahil are well known. Other smaller would be Bacco, Enoteca Fasano (also in Rio), Total Wine or Winepro.
In Rio some reputed vinotecas include Bergut Vinho & Bistro, merchant Vinoteca & Resto, Enosfera or l'Orangerie. Otherwise, online wine merchants are also mushrooming, Wine.com.br in Brazil with more than 2000 references or Lawebgourmet.com.ar in Argentina. At last you can buy wine in duty free shops, however both manipulation of wine as well as storage conditions are poor and I would not recommend it generally.

Building a city of trust
Corum - Montpellier
Local authorities and public policymakers have a central role to play – as planners, managers, contractors, trusted third parties, guarantors of data protection and the safety of citizens – in providing a trusted environment for smart city developments, in concert with the smart city ecosystem's stakeholders.
- Philippe BAUDOUIN, Head of Smart City practice, IDATE DigiWorld
- Philippe SAJHAU, Vice President Smarter Cities, Energy-Utilities & Telecom-Media, IBM France
Trust and the smart city have a complex alchemy. Among other things, the process implies avoiding purely top-down approaches when planning and carrying out projects, welcoming initiatives from entrepreneurs, making use of scientific validation bodies, planning on a dedicated system to ensure privacy protection, and thinking about the robustness and resilience of digital applications and information systems.
This round table will examine some of the key trust-building considerations when mapping out how a smart city will be governed:
- How to test the usefulness of a smart city service and users' interest in it during the design stage?
- How much consideration should be given to bottom-up and open innovation approaches to "open up" smart city projects?
- How to guarantee that smart city services are developed in a way that protects citizens' privacy?
- How to anticipate the pitfalls of a hyperconnected city, and build resilient information systems?
Moderator: Philippe SAJHAU, Vice President Smarter Cities program, Energies, Utilities & Telecom-Media industries, IBM France

- Guus SLUIJTER, Strategic Advisor, Gemeente Eindhoven

Shipping and Taxes Where do you ship from? We ship orders from our warehouses located in Montreal for Canadian customer and from our NY warehouse for USA customers. What are your shipping rates? We now offer low base rate shipping. Additional shipping may apply, and is calculated on your ship-to address and the weight or size of the parcel. Some events or items are subject to flat-rate shipping; this is indicated on each item's page. Free shipping offers Unless otherwise indicated, free shipping means that base shipping is free. Additional shipping may apply, and is calculated on your ship-to address and the weight or size of the parcel; orders above 20 pounds will attract additional shipping. Additional shipping will be reflected at checkout. How long will it take to receive my shipment? Every item page on our site includes a ships-from-BTR date and a link to a delivery schedule map. Some items are eligible for 5-day shipping (unless it applies for consolidated shipping), while others can take 3-4 weeks from the time you click the Process Order button. Please allow one week from the date of shipment for your order to be delivered to you. The reason BTR delivery time differs from traditional e-tailers is that we only authorize our brand partners to send us what our members have ordered after each event closes. This helps us provide you with a great selection of merchandise at even greater prices every day; which is what an exclusive shopping club is all about! As merchandise arrives at our Order Processing Center, our team assembles and ships your order very quickly. To make sure you know what's happening with your order, we'll send you a series of emails including: A confirmation as soon as we receive your order An update when your merchandise has arrived at our Order Processing Center A note to let you know your order has shipped that includes a tracking number If one of our brand partners is delayed in sending your purchase to us, we'll make sure you know what's happening with a special update email. We work hard with our brand partners to make sure delays don't happen, but with so many brands in our growing portfolio we sometimes encounter unforeseen issues. Please note: Packages cannot be shipped to post office boxes. Is my merchandise insured? Beyond the Rack insures all shipments against theft and accidental damage, at no cost to our members, up to a value of $100. Once the merchandise has been delivered, the insurance ceases to be in effect. Do you ship to international addresses? Please note that Beyond the Rack only ships orders to addresses in North America excluding Yukon. Will I be charged sales tax? The sales tax charged depends on where you ask us to ship the order as follows: United States - New York: 7-8%, depending on the county (the actual tax will appear on the checkout page) United States - Nevada: 6.85-8.1%, depending on the county (the actual tax will appear on the checkout page) Canada - Quebec: 5% GST + 9.975% QST Canada - Ontario, Newfoundland/Labrador, and New Brunswick: 13% HST Canada - Prince Edward Island: 14% HST Canada - Nova Scotia: 15% HST Canada: all other provinces: 5% GST Will everything I order be delivered in one shipment? Note that if you purchase more than one item from the same event, or shop from more than one event, we may not receive all of your merchandise from our suppliers at the same time. In this case, we may decide to ship to you the item(s) that arrive first right away, then follow up with a second shipment (shipping for the second item(s) is on us, of course) with a separate tracking number when the remaining item(s) become available. Also, Beyond the Rack has several warehouses, so your merchandise may come in several shipments. You will be updated by email regarding the status of your shipments and when they are packaged. How will I know if my orders will be consolidated? There is no way for you to know if your order will be consolidated. Once you receive your parcel, only then will you see on the packing slip that multiple items/orders are consolidated. For this reason we urge you to validate your orders. How do I validate my orders once received? Each parcel will contain a packing slip that will include the items shipped as well as the order number. We strongly suggest checking the packing slip to make sure every item listed is received. If there is ever a discrepancy, please contact customer service by phone or email. What do I do if I am short shipped on a consolidated shipment? If the number of items doesn't match what's on the packing slip, you must let us know within three (3) days of delivery. We will then ask you to send us a copy of the packing slip. Once the copy of the packing slip has been received, we will investigate the whereabouts of your missing item. We will make arrangements to either ship you a replacement item or issue a full refund for the missing item as per your original method of payment. How do I return orders/items if they come from a consolidated shipment? The same return policy applies. If you're not satisfied with an item, simply return it in its original condition within 30 days of receiving it and we'll apply a credit to your BTR account for the purchase price. Credit will be applied once the item has been received and accepted by our Order Processing Center. In order for your credit to be processed promptly, please follow the Return and Exchange procedure listed in the FAQ's section.

"High IQ Rats"
I caught a grand total of 2 rats with this. I did all the recommended things but the rats are shy of the thing. They are too smart for it. My live trap has done a better job, beside being a good squirrel trap. The rats by night the squirrels by day. Wish I could send it back.
"holding out hope"
Rodents (rats/mice/chipmunks) did about $5k worth of damage to my Mercedes SUV (chewed wires, destroyed an air bag, chewed a seat belt, etc). The entire wiring harness has to be replaced. So, that being said, a $50 investment in "the trap of all traps" was something I was certainly willing to make. Unfortunately, I think this trap is overpriced for what it is. I caught one rat, yes. But when I set the trap back down and caught a chipmunk, the chipmunk put its claws in the trap door, pulled it open and ran out. :-( Clearly, it's an easy trap for rodents to get out of. None the less, I have two set and am still holding out hope.
"Best Rat Trap Ever!!"
We've had rat problems for 3 years. They've gotten in the chicken and turkey houses to eat a lot of food from the "rat proof" feeders. They've been chewing through the supplement containers in the horse barn feed room. We started setting regular rat traps to no avail. In researching rats, I also discovered a mating couple can produce 2000 babies per year. We definitely have an infestation. We bit the bullet and purchased a Ratinator. We set it in the barn feedroom with the door tied open for two nights so the rats could eat freely and come and go. Then, we baited it and left the door set, as directed. The first afternoon we caught 6. We reset it last night (night 2) and caught 16 overnight. This was the best investment we've made. If you decide to catch and release, transport them at dusk at least 15 miles away or they will come back!! That's what the professionals recommend. Oh, for bait we are using cracked corn and chicken layer crumbles. My husband took a video if you would like to see it!
Works very well. We had a neighbor bring in a load of old bread in a dump truck. Unfortunately rats came with the bread. We were infested. Caught 26 in the 1st night. Bought 2 more and are actively using. Had to tie the exit doors. Bigger and smarter rats pushed out. Had to set the traps periodically. Every night doesn't work for us. Changing the bait is required to keep them interested. Good product.
"Works Great"
First night out trapped 12
"Works As Advertised WITH MODIFICATION"
1 trap, 1 night, 15 less rats trying to invade my chicken run. A modification is necessary to keep the rats in the trap - heavy duty zip ties to seal the exit door to the cage - it is possible for a rat to chew through zip ties (none did in my case) so if your paranoid, bail wire may be better. The zip ties are easier to snip and remove to allow the rats to exit during release (6 miles away in the uninhabited forest in my case). If I had not modified this trap, most, if not all of the rats would have escaped.
"A few fewer rats"
Caught 8 rats first night using this, but only had 7 to dispose - educated rats will figure out how to get out, but puts a healthy dent in the population!

Disney will "walk instead of run" when it launches its streaming platform in late 2019, chairman and CEO Bob Iger told analysts during an earnings call on Tuesday (August 7).
Referring to the OTT service's place in a landscape dominated by Netflix, Iger sounded optimistic and measured. "We want to make sure we're managing expectations," he said. "The price of the service will reflect that; the volume of the product that's on." Some in the industry anticipate an initial cost of up to $8 per month.
While a significant amount of Disney's earlier content remains tied up in deals with Netflix and pay-TV companies and will take a while to migrate to the new platform, Iger said the 2019 film slate will be available including titles like Captain Marvel, the next Avengers film, Toy Story 4 and Frozen 2, as well as original content.
The company's OTT roster will include Fox and Fox Searchlight content pursuant to the recent $71.3bn acquisition of 21st Century Fox's entertainment assets, which include the FX and National Geographic networks.
Iger stressed Disney's commitment to theatrical product, which he described as "vital" to Disney, and took another opportunity to compliment Fox Searchlight. "Our strategy is to give the studio what it needs to continue to do what it does best and to also expand the brand's high-quality brand into the direct-to-consumer space with original television and film projects."
Iger declined to elaborate on Fox's ongoing pursuit of Sky. The latter has bought more time to prepare a new offer and is up against Comcast, the company that lost to Disney in the battle for 21st Century Fox's entertainment assets and has tabled a $34bn bid for the European pay-TV titan. Fox reports third quarter earnings on Wednesday.
The executive added that Disney was not looking to bundle its entertainment streaming platform with the ESPN sports app and Hulu, of which Disney now owns 60%. He said it was Disney's belief that consumers were more interested in avoiding a bundled, "giant aggregated play".
Iger said conversion rates from free trials of the ESPN app to paid subscriptions had been "strong".
The third quarter earnings report itself delivered a rare miss, as earnings per share reached $1.87 and not the expected $1.95, due to the disappointing box office of Solo: A Star Wars Story, and the huge commitment of the Fox acquisition.

Under house arrest, Minerva tries to settle her nerves and adjust to life back at home. She and her sisters can only leave the house with permission from Pena, a SIM guard, and regularly go only to church and to visit their incarcerated husbands. The sisters, as Las Mariposas, have become symbols of the revolution to the Dominican people.
Minerva, at her husband's request, visits some doctors to find out if any of the old revolutionaries is still active. She learns that the movement has been scattered and is waiting for the gringos to overthrow Trujillo, and then they will step in again. The Mirabal sisters receive a warning that Trujillo is annoyed by the favor the "Butterflies" have found with the people. The husbands fear they will soon be killed in prison, and, mysteriously, Manolo and Leandro are transferred to another prison, which can be reached only by driving through dangerous mountain passes.
Although Dede warns that they are vulnerable to a SIM attack, Minerva, Patria, and Mate go to visit their husbands. They arrive safely, but a storm is brewing as they leave, and Manolo begs them to stay the night with friends and go home in the morning. They stop at a restaurant with their driver Rufino, and, unable to get through to the house by phone, decide to travel on home that night (Chapter 12).

A pharmacist's perspective on health and metabolic disease
Conversations about end-of-life care are very difficult but very important. When I was working in Older Adult Mental Health, most of my patients were not physically unwell, but many were no longer in a position to make their own decisions about their care. The stress and strain on the families involved was never easy for anyone. If advanced decisions had not been made, sometimes the Family Court had to be involved. But normally, decisions did not have to be made quickly. I can only imagine how much more tension there would be when someone is medically unwell and similar, or harder, decisions have to be made. I think we should all read this article by Dr Ash Witt. It is far better that we read this conversation when we are in a good position to think about the implications, than to meet her, or one of her colleagues to have this conversation unprepared.

Stem Cell Trials Show Sustained Heart Function Improvement
December 24, 2019
Australian adult stem cell company, Mesoblast Limited, today announced positive
initial results of clinical adult stem cell trials for the treatment of
heart disease being conducted in conjunction with its United States-based
sister company Angioblast Systems Inc.
Angioblast and Mesoblast are conducting a Pilot Clinical Trial in Australia focused upon the treatment of up to 10 patients suffering from severe coronary artery disease and heart muscle damage. Cells used in this trial are autologous, or the patients' own cells, which have been selected and cultured using the company's proprietary technology.
"Interim results from our clinical trial at the John Hunter Hospital in Australia have shown that heart function has improved in each of the patients treated so far," Mesoblast Chief Scientific Adviser, Professor Silviu Itescu, said.
In up to six months of follow-up after the patients' cells were implanted into their damaged heart muscle, each of the first three patients treated had demonstrated improvement in global heart function of 20-60% relative to baseline, as determined by serial echocardiograms.
"This degree of improvement in heart function in these very ill patients is extremely encouraging, and we look forward to completing the trial and reporting on the outcomes of all the patients in due course," Principal Investigator at the John Hunter Hospital, interventional cardiologist Dr Suku Thambar, said.
Preclinical Trial Using 'Off-The-Shelf' Cells Support Clinical Trial Results:
The company has also now completed a number of large animal studies focused upon the use of allogeneic stem cells, or cells from an unrelated donor, for repair of damaged heart muscle and improvement of heart function after a myocardial infarct, or heart attack. In these studies the company's proprietary stem cells, obtained from an allogeneic donor, were expanded and frozen post GMP compliant manufacturing, in effect, an 'off-the-shelf' stem cell product. All studies were undertaken by specialist organizations and results have been independently reviewed.
"Our clinical trial experience has been further supported by results from a number of large animal studies we have just completed using allogeneic stem cells to improve heart function after a heart attack.
"In these studies, heart function in stem cell treated animals was significantly superior to control groups that did not receive stem cells, confirming the safety and effectiveness of our frozen, pre-cultured allogeneic stem cells," Professor Itescu said.
In one study performed at the University of Pennsylvania, 36 sheep underwent coronary artery occlusion and were treated with either the company's stem cells obtained from an unrelated donor or placebo. On the trial's completion at two months, the animals treated with the allogeneic stem cells demonstrated up to 50% greater mean global heart function than those receiving placebo, as determined by serial echocardiograms.
Importantly, pathology studies have not shown evidence of allergic reaction, rejection, or abnormal tissue formation.
"These are major steps forward in proving the company's primary business model to develop an off-the-shelf cell therapy product for improving heart function," Professor Itescu added.
