Gaia. In The Many Aeons Ahead In The Future Gaia Will Cease Being A Physical Planet With All Her Inhabitants & All Life Forms No Longer In Physical Form. Gaia & All Her Inhabitants Will Undergo The Necessary Metamorphosis Changing To A Light Based Very Different Component Structure of Vibrations & Frequencies, Not As Yet Aligned Within. This Is A NEW Very Advanced Prophecy For Gaia In Future Aeons.
From The Jupiter Creation Inner Akashic Records. 14 December, 2019. Experienced 12 12 19.
As once again, Suryananda & Adam El Daoud who is in Jupiter & The Higher Realms chat, I have said to AED that as we have posted briefly here that Gaia is Eternal Having The Eternal Flame Thus Being Always In Existence, that from my perspective, I do not feel Gaia can ever be a Golden Planet World Whilst Beings INHABIT THE PHYSICAL FORM. AED no.
As I see it, and I recognise this may be somewhat way out – AED this is very much you Pat regarding the physical form on Gaia – Yes – but as AED is aware I said to AED a few days ago that for me for Gaia to be what I would describe as a Light Planet, as In Jupiter & The Higher Realms, where the physical form does not exist, and thus the whole component, structures, vibrations and energies are VERY DIFFERENT, therefore they CAN be described as LIGHT Planets, Worlds, Realms, Gaia needs to have Her Own Form With Components & Structures Capable of Fully Supporting Non Physical Life In All It's Forms.
As my yet to be posted deep session on The Elements will show, The Elements have much to share with us. AED very much so. The Elements Session Was Very moving and fascinating. AED yes, deeply Pat.
So as I see it and have said to AED and Cosmic Masters & Jupiter Creation, the WAY that I see Gaia being A LIGHT Planet, will only be WHEN AND IF The Inhabitants on Gaia HAVE DIFFERENT FORMS and are NO LONGER IN PHYSICAL BODIES.
AED do you think this will ever happen Pat? I hope so for Gaia. What do you say AED?
AED as I have said this, IF IT WAS EVER TO HAPPEN, this is a very very long way ahead in the Future. Yes, I said that for me is FAR TOO LONG. AED yes.
AED do you think in a Future Age Way Into The New Cycles of Gaia, ALL Inhabitants will NO LONGER have a physical form Pat?
Yes. AED you ARE CORRECT Pat. Jupiter Creation yes CORRECT Suryananda but this as you recognise and AED has said will be WAY BEYOND how you can even begin to envisage LIFE & EXISTENCE ON GAIA. Yes, I know.
The very fact that GAIA HAS THE ETERNAL FLAME HOUSED IN A VAULT IN JUPITER WHERE ALL ETERNAL FLAMES ARE KEPT, and that as we have shared, JUPITER IS ETERNAL With Thousands of Worlds, Realms, Including The Personal & Private Realms of Jupiter Creation, as well as Suns, Stars & Planets Where They Have The Eternal Flame Thus Are Eternal. ALL of these Have at their disposal Tremendous Power. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda. AED absolutely.
However, Gaia Being A Physical Planet, Although Eternal, will, by Her Very Nature, HAVE TO undergo the necessary metamorphosis, CHANGING From a physical Planet of Gravity to a Light Based Very Different Component Structure of Vibrations & Frequencies, Not as yet Aligned Within. AED absolutely. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda.
As I had been thinking of this strongly over the last few days and although I had gone into the fundamental issue that for me, for Gaia, To Be A LIGHT Planet As In Jupiter & The Higher Realms, then the inhabitants with physical forms would need to have been RE-CALIBRATED so that NO Physical Forms EXIST on Gaia at all. AED yes. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda.
From my understanding and recognition, by having the physical form on Gaia, there will always be those who want to control all forms of existence and would take Power, whether this is on a personal daily basis against other inhabitants on Gaia or in a wider controlling context. I am not meaning politicians here but where the dark forces gather and aim to control those who are good and caring beings.
This was not my intention to share now today, 12 12 19, although posted 14 December, but I had a feeling I would go into this more with AED. AED yes it was inevitable Pat. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda. It was many weeks ago that I recognised that Gaia also Had Within Her The Eternal Flame & Was Therefore Destined Always To Exist, so from then it was only a matter of time till these revelations would manifest. AED yes. The Eternal Flame as AED and I have posted, is not only Within Jupiter, Suns, Stars & Worlds but is also Within AED and myself and Jupiterians as well as other Cosmic Beings. The Eternal Flame has ALL the colours in existence and each are within. AED wonderful yes. Jupiter Creation how delightful Suryananda yes.
In Jupiter, with Adam El Daoud, We Are Taught On Creation Which Is New and Ever Deeper and More Complex by Jupiter Creation, Angelicus & Cosmic Masters In Jupiter. AED's and my Path is Creation & Pre-Destined Contract & Role of Service, as well as being at Our Very Core. AED yes. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda.
Although not posted fully as yet as there were several deep sessions but they will be shared when able, but AED and I have Been Gifted Teaching Ashrams in several Realms in Jupiter which is also our Ashram Home. AED yes, wonderful.
Jupiter Creation with His Divine Consort Jupiteer Creation (Guan Yin) Have Their Own Teaching Ashram where deep inner truths on Creation are Gifted us. AED very much so. Masters are continually entering these Jupiterian Ashrams where knowledge not brought into being on Gaia over the many aeons is revealed, cherished and understood. Jupiter Creation yes how lovely Suryananda.
Angelicus also teaches AED and I, on Creation in Jupiter, and Gifted AED and myself, Suryananda Our Own Teaching Ashram Home some months ago. Angelicus yes beautiful Suryananda. These two very different Ashrams in Jupiter to look at are so unique.
AED's and my Ashram Home from Angelicus is very long and a low in height Ashram. The colour is of an exquisite Navy Midnight Blue Sapphire shade and remains a constant joy. AED very much so. Angelicus yes, much in-depth teaching continues Suryananda and fun. Yes. I did not post from our deep session at that time as we were going to keep till AED and I posted on The Jupiter Tablets, a Cosmic Record of what has not been shared on Gaia. However, when time allows, we are set to add here as not necessary to postpone. AED yes.
Whilst AED's and my Ashram Home Gifted by Jupiter Creation which came after our Ashram Home from Angelicus, coming into being as AED and I went into ever more expansion of consciousness together, has about three floors lit up very brightly with white and gold and is very different. This is a very large Ashram Home. AED yes. As Jupiter Creation has shared AED and I have been Gifted Other Teaching Ashrams Homes in Jupiter and this will continue into Future Worlds in Jupiter. Jupiter Creation yes, wonderful Suryananda & AED yes.
It is necessary to add that Many Jupiterians & Cosmic Beings have also been Gifted their Own Ashram Home by both Angelicus & Jupiter Creation. AED yes. The Ashrams where Teachings are for Jupiterians & Cosmic Beings whose Role & Path is Creation, are very varied, whilst recognising that Creation has Many Aspects. AED absolutely. So some Jupiterians Cosmic Masters will Teach in their Ashrams on the Different Aspects of Creation, whether Healing or other forms. AED yes.
By this I mean Creation has Many Aspects, Healing, Compassion as well as Knowledge and Accessing Deep Into Future Worlds or Worlds not written on in Jupiter and into Realms & Worlds, Suns to be brought still to the attention and consciousness of those whom will resonate to this on Gaia. AED yes. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda this is your Path with AED. Yes.
As Melchisadek said to me in 2015 and I shared on my website, Your Remit is Creation – Creation – Creation, this was confirming something I had known and recognised for many years. AED very much so. Jupiter Creation of course Suryananda. At this time of course as Melchisadek said, AED and I, with many others would be Teaching on Creation.
When Melchisadek spoke to me through Direct Voice for thirty minutes a few years ago, I was so surprised and fascinated as this was a First By Direct Voice whilst awake and not dreaming. The Power, Vibrations & Energies are so very different by Direct Voice to HEAR – that once Heard, I have always recognised this as the deep and profound GIFT that this is. Jupiter Creation very Suryananda. AED yes.
A few years ago I heard my unicorn, Male, Antares speak to me through Direct Voice as I was typing. That was so exciting and unexpected and again Antares spoke for about thirty minutes. Each Direct Voice Experience to HEAR has been a Gift, allowing me to be deeply aligned and connected to a higher power. AED very much so. Jupiter Creation how delightful yes Suryananda. On the 16 March, 2019, I heard Adam El Daoud by Direct Voice as confirmed this was to be so through The Glastonbury Portal. This began my in-depth new understanding on Portals as I have shared, and was pivotal in going deep into Stargates with AED as posted on The Lion's Gate 8 8 19. Stargates are much more fascinating than Portals having no darkness within. Innumerable Stargates are on Power Places on Gaia as well as in Jupiter with many stopping stations between. Time Capsules being in constant use between Jupiter, Gaia, Suns & Planets. Each having a great many of Cosmic Masters numbering hundreds Within Stargates at any one time. Stargates are mesmerising and much will be shared on Stargates in the future. AED yes.
Glastonbury has Many Stargates as AED and I shared on the 8 8 19 Lions Gate. There Are Also STARGATES IN EMBRYO which will come into Full Operation in the Future, again prophesied. AED yes, exciting Pat. Jupiter Creation beautiful. yes, Suryananda. These Stargates In embryo are in one of AED's and my typed deep sessions waiting to be posted. There is no reason why some posts get shared earlier on my website as AED and I continue to access Realms & Worlds in Jupiter; it is more a case of which meaningful and profound session to post next. AED very much so.
I will be Hearing by Direct Voice on occasions in the future as I will be sharing soon. AED exciting Pat. Yes. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda.
As Gaia continues Her Ascension Into Higher Levels & Vibration Frequencies, Gaia is taking with each New Aligned Frequency, those necessary and Fundamental Steps Towards BEING A LIGHT PLANET, where in Future Aeons, NO Physical Form Inhabits Gaia. AED correct. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda. This means also Animal Species will have had to undergo and experience a metamorphosis as too The Very Structure of Mountains & The Oceans. ALL will have to change and experience the required metamorphosis – CHANGE OF FORM. AED yes.
As Jupiterians we are the ELDEST or OLDEST in existence of Cosmic Beings. AED and I, as well as being Jupiterians are Sun Beings, and as I have posted recently, Sun Beings Are Even Older than Star Beings Star Seeds as we resonate to different frequencies and energies. Jupiter Creation how fascinating yes Suryananda. AED yes. As we shared The Galactics & The Devics have different components, structures and frequencies. AED very much so.
As this New Very Advanced PROPHECY if you like is so FAR INTO THE FUTURE, for us on Gaia in the present, it seems too far into the Future and as I have added above, to me it is.
However, Gaia is a Planet which has The Eternal Flame therefore Gaia will ALWAYS Exist but in the process of doing so, WAY INTO THE FUTURE AEONS, Gaia and ALL LIFE FORMS on Gaia, will have left ALL signs of the physical form behind, as also the animal kingdom and nature, including the oceans. AED wonderful yes Pat. Jupiter Creation how beautiful yes Suryananda. Wow. AED a magnificent recognition into higher advanced consciousness Pat. Yes.
As this detailed New Information & Knowledge of How Gaia will be in many many aeons ahead in The Future many people will find this almost irrelevant. AED yes but as you are aware this life of yours and our journey together whilst I am in Jupiter & The Higher Realms, is for you Pat, to go deep into Creation whilst on Gaia far from Jupiter & Home. Yes. AED the real prize is to be aware of WHAT IS when, as you are, you are in a very different environment and physical world to Our Home. Yes. AED it is necessary to add to your website. Yes, it does feel very necessary. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda necessary.
Jupiter Creation it matters because you have understood this and that this is so. As both AED and Jupiter Creation agreed that many people on Gaia will not believe this or for any who do believe they could feel it is so way into the Future as not being a viable thought to look into. AED yes. Jupiter Creation yes Suryananda. This is why when something keeps coming back to us we have to look into this. AED absolutely. I always do follow signs. AED you do, wonderful. Jupiter Creation it is when Jupiterians and other Cosmic Beings learn to understand the Signs being brought to them from beyond the physicality of Gaia that The Cosmos Universe Begins To Be Understood In It's Magnificence.
Even though I won't be returning to Gaia as this is my last Earth life, confirmed many times through The Akasha and by Adam El Daoud & Cosmic Team, which I have always been ecstatic about, now that I recognise this to be in The Very Far Distant Future For Gaia & All Her Inhabitants & Life Forms, I will be always be aware of this. AED yes you will. Jupiter Creation yes this now is very much within your consciousness Suryananda. Yes.
Thank you Jupiter Creation, AED and team. Without Your ongoing Presence, Being Able To Hear Clairaudiently so deeply into The Jupiter Creation Inner Akashic Records has Gifted me Access To Worlds Beyond Worlds and Ever Deeper Into Jupiter & The Cosmos. Jupiter Creation how very very beautiful, true and perceptive Suryananda. Yes. AED wonderful Pat. Yes.
Suryananda & Adam El Daoud, Divine Consorts & With Jupiter Creation. 💙
Artist unknown. Shared when known. Gratitude.

If sightseeing is one of your favorite activities when you travel, or you just like to grab a selfie in a stunning location, then South America will send you home with a huge grin on your face, as there is no shortage of sights that are truly remarkable on the continent.
Some will take more effort than others to reach, with some of the most beautiful and amazing locations also being among the most remote on the continent, but there are a few views that you really should try to see if you get the chance. These locations are also among the main reasons why you should remember to pack your camera for the trip!
The View from the Top of Machu Picchu
Probably the most famous tourist attraction in all of South America, Machu Picchu's historic Inca buildings are set against a background of densely forested mountains that are high among the Andes.
While the altitude may already have taken your breath away, the views over the valley and the old city are spectacular and will definitely do so. If you want to include the site of Machu Picchu in your photographs, look for a ticket to climb nearby Wayna Picchu, which takes in the view over the site and the valley behind to make for a spectacular viewpoint.

Cliff Overlooking Baia do Sancho, Fernando de Noronha
The islands of Fernando de Noronha are a true gem lying a few hundred kilometers off the north eastern coast of Brazil, and the idyllic beaches that can only be accessed on foot or by boat make for some wonderful peaceful conditions for enjoying the beaches. However, if you are feeling a little more active, a climb up to the cliffs overlooking Baia do Sancho will offer an amazing viewpoint of the curve of golden sand that is often cited as the best beach on the continent.

Perito Moreno Glacier, Los Glaciares National Park
Covering a large area of the Los Glaciares National Park, and some of the adjacent territory in Chile, this is a large glacier, and offers several different views. Sometimes huge pieces of ice can be seen collapsing into the water from a viewpoint looking over the sharp cliffs and deep ice crevasses at the top of the glacier down to the edge of the glacier.
Trekking on the upper part of the glacier reveals a pure white scene surrounded by a backdrop of high mountains that is simply superb.

Spotting Pink Dolphins in the Amazon River
The Amazon River is one of the longest in the world and flows across a huge swathe of the continent, and taking a cruise on the river can reveal some amazing natural sights.
One of the greatest of these is the pink river dolphins that are friendly and curious, and while they do not live in pods with large numbers of dolphins as can sometimes be seen in the ocean, seeing one of these bobbing behind the boat in the river is a wonderful experience.
The Uyuni Salt Flats After a Rain Shower
The famous salt flats of Bolivia have been the star of many a photograph over the years, and in the dry they are a light sandy color that stretches as far as the eye can see, but when the rain has fallen that light sandy color becomes a wonderful still mirror reflecting the sky.
Sadly this doesn't happen that often, but if you do get the chance to explore the flats after a rain shower, the view of the clouds and blue sky reflected in the thin sheen of water is truly remarkable.
Watching Marine Life in Ushuaia
The southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia is a coastal city in the Tierra del Fuego region, and while the charming colorful town against the backdrop of snow capped mountains is special, a trip into the nearby Beagle Channel will often reveal something even more beautiful.
The sea lions and small animals can be spotted in many locations, including one small rocky islet known as sea lion island, while Orca whales and dolphins are also often spotted in these waters.
Sunset over the Atacama Desert
Lying at high altitude, and officially one of the driest places on earth, the Atacama desert is an impressive and forbidding place any time of day.
However, the unearthly arid landscape becomes a very different place during the sunset, when the sun's rays are distorted as they travel through the atmosphere, often setting the sky alight with a range of different colors that has to be seen to be believed.

Maschio Valdobbiadene Prosecco
Maschio dei Cavalieri Valdobbiadene DOCG+
The winery obtains its sparkling wines directly from the must, which undergoes a prise de mousse with selected yeasts for a period of one month at a controlled temperature of 12-15°C. This allows the wine to preserve its characteristic freshness and for its aromatic notes to be enhanced.

Indeed, the Valdobbiadene DOCG from Maschio dei Cavalieri bursts forth with fruity aromas – such as apple, pear and peach – and a bouquet of white flowers.

Pricing is a tricky issue for most retailers. No one wants to lose margins, but product discounts and sales are still one the best tried and true methods for getting people into the store. But this practice and other pricing strategies may be hindered by recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allows manufacturers to set minimum prices. The question that remains for consumer electronics retailers is: Is this really going to matter? The ruling was laid down on June 28 in review of "Leegin Creative Leather Products, In. v.

Richard Cubbage is on a mission to reduce retail theft. As a loss prevention analyst for the Army/Air Force Exchange Service, a huge retail operation with hundreds of locations globally and billions of dollars in revenue, his job is serious. A seemingly unending supply chain of inventory and a large infrastructure presents an attractive environment for wayward employees looking for foolproof ways to steal "under the radar"—or so they think. The National Retail Federation (NRF) recently awarded Cubbage for this work at the group's Loss Prevention Conference, held in San Diego in June. The NRF recognized his work in a nearly year long investigation that
If you've been following the NBA this year, you may have noticed a new name plastered everywhere: Haier. What does Haier have to do with basketball? Nothing, besides the millions of eyes that the company wants to catch in a grand campaign to establish itself as major U.S. appliance brand. Already successful in categories like air conditioning and compact refrigeration, this Chinese company has reason to believe that this is possible, and part of the plan is to grab a piece of the high-end market. If you ask Warren Mann, he'll tell you that Fisher & Paykel first proved that even a little-known brand can
There was a time salespeople sold with a story and a smile. That was all they needed. People skills never go out of style. But if you walk into a Circuit City these days you might notice some of the floor staff armed with handheld devices, most notably Tablet PCs. But they aren't selling them; it's all part of a growing trend in retail, one that is melding people, technology and the supply chain. "The growing trend can be attributed to the growth of interest in technology automation in retail," said Shyam Krishnan, program manager and team leader of the retail systems, kiosks and supply
After simmering in the background for the last few years as an accepted and mature technology, satellite radio is back in the news, and not only for the proposed merger between XM and Sirius. A recent judgment by a U.S. District Court could increase the heat in the courts and on the floor of Congress. Retailers should take note because the outcome could directly affect the products they sell. Last year, the music industry joined forces to launch a lawsuit against XM Satellite Radio. At the heart of the issue are the portable XM/Pioneer Inno and the XM+MP3 service. The technology allows users to record
While XM battles the right to record in court, the issue has much wider breadth, reaching the floor of the U.S. Senate. A bi-partisan group of Senators recently reintroduced a bill called the PERFORM Act. This act, introduced last year but not passed, has found its way back onto the docket in the current 110th Congress and seeks to require satellite, cable and Internet broadcasters to pay fair market value for the performance of digital music (right now pricing is different for each broadcast medium). Wrote Senator Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.), "News radio services are allowing users to do more than simply listen to
The International Builders' Show (IBS) is a little bit different than your typical CE show. Right next to an impressive home control demonstration you might find a nail-driving competition. And not far from the rows of high-end appliances you'll find the latest in backhoes. It can be a fascinating show, but one has to ask, how important is this to a CE or major appliance dealer? It's a question that Jeanette Howe, executive director of specialty electronics for Nationwide, is exploring as she attends the show - February 7 to 10 in Orlando, Fla. - for the first time. "I want to see who is
Here we are at another CES and the beginning of another new year. Not only is this a good time to get a glimpse of all the things we can look forward to, it's a good time for making some changes.

Bill Gates once told a room of bloggers that he thought digital rights management (DRM) was "too painful" for the average consumer and that he didn't think anyone had gotten it right yet. He added that people might as well just buy CDs and encode them to their portable players, since that was the best way to stay legal. He may be right about the "too painful" part, but as for staying legal part—he may not be. Even after the successful crack down on file sharing services like Napster and the implementation of rights-protected music services like iTunes, the Recording Industry Association of America
In a very general sense, there are two kinds of personalities in the CE industry: the frank-talking, shoot-from the hip, passionate independent, and the smart but carefully worded corporate type. Sandy Bloomberg is both of these rolled into one. And maybe that's because his business, Tweeter Home Entertainment Group, is a little bit of both. Tweeter went from a startup dealer in the boom period of the 1970s to a publicly traded regional retail powerhouse with 153 stores in 23 states across the country. Even though the company has been experiencing some difficult times, it is still a major presence on the CE retail

Even with so many exercise gurus, Atkins addicts and health food evangelists pushing their mantras over the airwaves, Americans are still having a weight problem. And the problem is extending to some of our neighbors as well. This was the inspiration behind a recent design challenge by Electrolux, which put to task designers from all around the world to come up with appliances that could help encourage healthier lifestyles. The results were a variety of innovative products, most of which will probably not make show room floors, but may inspire similar products in lines yet to come. The winner of the competition was announced in
Plasmas $499! Only 10 in stock!!!! GET ONE NOW!!! Sound familiar? For some these words were all too familiar and quite loud on Black Friday this year. And while many retailers, large and small reported that floor traffic was up, some trends are getting people worried, namely the drastic reduction in the average selling price of the previously premium flat panel category. Once the savior of the television category, retailers saw prices dip well below $1,000, spurred on by a charge on the vendor side to unload product, and the willingness of big box and national discount chains to take a loss on
The cover story for this issue of Dealerscope takes a depature. Instead of profiling a CE retailer or other CE specific topic, our senior editor, Audrey Gray, visited the Ritz Carlton Company's Leadership Center to find out why so many CEOs—including those of major retailers—were spending thousands of dollars to attend a week-long program on high-end service. Even more compelling than the service angle was how the Ritz-Carlton takes major strides to keep its own employees happy. Why? Because when you get down to it, hotel employees have some of the most thankless jobs on the planet. To paraphrase Diana Oreck, vice president of the

CFO Cindy Buck: An Architect of Improved Financial Operations Plans
Ms. Buck has been at Rutherford Regional for roughly a year, and previously, she was the CFO of Nevada (Mo.) Regional Medical Center for eight years.
In 2008, she received the "CFO of the Year" award from Quorum Health Resources, the hospital management company that operates NRMC. QHR President and CEO James Horrar said Ms. Buck was an architect behind NRMC's improved financial operations through many different initiatives.
"Under her leadership, [NRMC] has established a cash management and planning tool that helps senior management make information decisions on operational and capital expenditures," Mr. Horrar said in a news release. "She was also the driving force behind a bond refinancing that saved the hospital more than $2.4 million in interest over the life of the bonds."
Ms. Buck officially joined Rutherford Regional in September 2011 and manages the 143-bed hospital's operations, which included more than $249 million in total gross revenue in fiscal year 2011.
If you have more information or updates for this profile or would like to recommend a leader to be profiled in the future, please contact Lindsey Dunn, editor in chief, Becker's Hospital Review at email@example.com.

…anymore than a speeding ticket is a 'driving tax':
Children as young as one in Hampshire will be fined for overdue library books in a controversial move, branded a "reading tax" by critics.
This 'tax' doesn't apply if you return your books on time, does it? Would that all tax could be so easily circumvented!
Currently children's books can be returned late without any financial penaltiesbut fines which were dropped in 2005 to encourage use of libraries are to be reintroduced.Under the new system, youngsters who return books after the four-week loan period will be fined 5p per day for each overdue item up to a maximum 40p per book.
Select committee councillors at Hampshire even went further than officers suggested, extending the penalty to library users under five despite a recommendation they be excluded.
Not that the children themselves will be paying it. It'll be their parents. And why shouldn't they?
… Desmond Clarke, a national library campaigner, said the local authority should be doing everything it can to encourage reading among children.He said: "This is just a backdoor way to raise more money. I think it is very sad that the council is imposing fines for overdue children's books.
"All the evidence is that children who read a lot do better in school and are more successful in life."
All the evidence is that children who learn personal responsibility, and that actions have consequences, do a lot better in life too. We're seeing some of the results of failing to teach that for the last 25-30 years, aren't we?
… Councillor Keith House, leader of the Liberal Democrat opposition group on the county council, said: "Charging late fees for children is a reading tax.
This all covers up the more amazing fact that the county has lost 30,000 books in recent years.
"The council should concentrate on tracking down these rather than discouraging children reading."
Just where do you think most of those 30,000 'lost' books actually are, you idiot? Could it be they are residing somewhere in the homes of those who up to now have suffered no penalty whatsoever for not returning them?

About ACHU
Can anyone help me on this?
We'd like to know whether the CPU throttles during a certain period of time. For example, did CPU throttle from 8:00~16:00? Currently when we start the AIDA64 to record the CPU throttle activity, it won't stop recording unless we stop it.
Which AIDA64 package is suitable?
ACHU posted a topic in General DiscussionWe used AIDA64 to record CPU throttling event but would like to limit the record period. Which AIDA64 package includes this feature? Also, is it possible to receive a notice once CPU throttled during the test?
Wrong CPU temp. reading on Haswell platform?
ACHU replied to ACHU's topic in Bug reportsDTS can be found on the following. Which one does AIDA64 use to show throttling is triggered? 1. per IA core 2. on the System Agent (SA)/Uncore 3. on the GT core 4. L4 Cache (4+3e parts only) Also, when you say when CPU start throttling, the reported DTS temperature will quickly drop down a few defreecs Celsius, how quick is that? Within 1-2seconds?
Wrong CPU temp. reading on Haswell platform?
ACHU posted a topic in Bug reportsHi, to monitor the CPU temperature on our Haswell system, we used both BIT and AIDA64. Somehow, the temperature readings are quite different. We don't know which one is correct. Also, the CPU Tjmax is 100C. When CPU temperature hits 100C, it's supposed to throttle. However, we found most of the systems throttling but the max CPU temperature was only 95C or even 84C. Is there any adjustment required to get the reading correct on Haswell platform? We did the test on 14 systems. All of them are the same systems based on Haswell i7-4650U. See our test data as posted.
Monitoring CPU temperature
ACHU posted a topic in Hardware monitoringHi, Recently we used AIDA64 to monitor the CPU temperature as well as throttling activation, but noticed something weird. When we stressed some systems using other s/w for 12 hours and AIDA64 was used for monitoring only. The test data showed that the CPU temp went up to 88~93C during the 12 hrs and AIDA64 showed no CPU throttling ever occured. After 12 hrs, the s/w that used to stress the system stopped, but AIDA64 kept monitoring the system. We found the CPU temperature going up and some units even had CPU throttled. Then we did another test. We still used AIDA64 to monitor the CPU temperature and throttling but didn't use any s/w to stress the system. However, CPU temperature still went up and throttled after a few hours. When AIDA64 is used for monitoring only, does it still stresses the system? Is there any setting we need to change to make sure that AIDA64 is simply monitoring but not giving loading?

National League: Solihull Moors 2 Dagenham & Redbridge 1
PUBLISHED: 16:58 02 November 2019 | UPDATED: 16:58 02 November 2019
©TGS Photo tgsphoto.co.uk +44 1376 553468
Dagenham & Redbridge fell to a second successive defeat in the National League on Saturday.
Beaten at home by Barrow in midweek, Peter Taylor's men came away empty handed from the trip to the Midlands, after the pitch passed an early afternoon inspection.
Manager Taylor handed a debut to new loan signing Toby Stevenson who joined ahead of the clash from Charlton Athletic.
And Alex McQueen and Reece Grant were also handed starts along with Kenny Clark who returned from a head injury sustained against Chorley.
But despite the changes it was a miserable start for the visitors who found themselves 1-0 down after just two minutes as former Stevenage midfielder James Ball headed home for the hosts.
Solihull almost doubled their lead in the 11th minute as Callum Howe headed just wide of the post from a long throw.
But nine minutes later Daggers levelled the score as striker Reece Grant headed home a brilliant delivery from winger McQueen.
In the 26th minute Moors striker Paul McCallum did well to head towards goal with the cross slightly behind him, but the effort was wide of the post.
Daggers defender Manny Onariase then made a good block as Danny Wright found some space for the Moors and got a shot off.
And Elliot Justham had to tip the ball over the bar when under pressure from Jake Beesley as Daggers continued to be put under pressure.
McQueen had to make a block after the visitors failed to clear the ball in the 37th minute and Justham got down low to his left to tip past the post.
You may also want to watch:
The hosts had another few chances through McCallum and Ball but couldn't capitalise to double their advantage.
Clark made an excellent block early in the second half to launch a Daggers counter-attack, with Gavin Gunning picking up a yellow card for a deliberate handball.
But Solihull regained the lead just past the hour mark when McCallum headed past Justham.
Kandi made way for Joe Quigley midway through the half and the subtitute was soon involved, winning a series of flick-ons.
Onariase made an excellent tackle in the box to deny a Solihull rival on 72 minutes before Bagasan Graham and Stevenson combined on the left, only for the ball to bounce away from Mitch Brundle.
The hosts were inches away from a third when Gudger headed against the crossbar from a corner, while McQueen's superb through ball found Grant, who was well tackled by the advancing Ryan Boot.
Grant and McQueen made way for Joan Luque and James Dobson for the final stages, with Daggers inches away from levelling on 81 minutes as Quigley fed Luque, who hit the crossbar for the third match in a row.
Stevenson marked his debut with a yellow card six minutes from time, for a late tackle, while Storer shot wide of the post for the home side with normal time drawing to a close.
And Brundle had his name taken as the match ticked into four minutes of stoppage time, which could not produce a Daggers equaliser.
Solihull Moors: Boot, Reckford, Storer, Gudger, Vaughan, Howe, Beesley, Ball, Wright, McCallum (Yussuf 79).
Unused subs: Williams, Hancox, Hawkridge, Neufville.
Dagenham & Redbridge: Justham, Wright, Onariase, Clark, Stevenson, Brundle, Robinson, McQueen (Dobson 79), Graham, Grant (Luque 79), Kandi (Quigley 67).
Unused subs: Eleftheriou, Wood.

Title: Educated: a memoir
By: Tara Westover
"I wanted to get away from the junkyard and there was only one way to do that, which was the way Audrey had done it; by getting a job so I wouldn't be at the house when Dad rounded up his crew. The trouble was, I was eleven."
It's hard to believe that there were still families in the U.S. that didn't send their children to school or to doctors in the 1990's, but when Tara Westover was growing up in Idaho, the reigning paradigm in her family was that the government can't be trusted. They did everything possible to avoid public notice and to be self-reliant. Her father ran a junkyard with prodigious feats of endurance and sometimes reckless use of machinery. Her mother practiced midwifery and prepared herbal medicines with a high degree of skill. With some of her earnings, she put in a phone line at their house.
"One day a white van appeared, and a handful of men in dark overalls began climbing over the utility poles by the highway. Dad burst through the back door demanding to know what the hell was going on. 'I thought you wanted a phone,' Mother said, her eyes so full of surprise they were irreproachable. She went on, talking fast. 'You said there could be trouble if someone goes into labor and Grandma isn't home to take the call. I thought, He's right, we need a phone! Silly me! Did I misunderstand?' Dad stood there for several seconds, his mouth open. Of course a midwife needs a phone, he said. Then he went back to the junkyard and that's all that was ever said about it."
I stayed up all night reading this memoir; it was hair-raising. I was entirely engaged by it--in part because it made me so very angry to learn about some of Tara's experiences. It could have been unbearable to read but for the very fact of the book, which meant she survived. She was one of three siblings who went to college and completed graduate school. Her other four siblings left school with GEDs. Not surprisingly, this memoir also depicts what I can only call a cultural divide within a family, between a fundamentalist, self-reliant, isolationist stance and that of persons who have explored the larger society and have found benefits in mainstream education and interaction with a more diverse community.

Factors associated with initiation of antiretroviral therapy in the advanced stages of HIV infection in six Ethiopian HIV clinics, 2012 to 2013
Document Type
Publication Date
Introduction: Most HIV-positive persons in sub-Saharan Africa initiate antiretroviral therapy (ART) with advanced infection (late ART initiation). Intervening on the drivers of late ART initiation is a critical step towards achieving the full potential of HIV treatment scale-up. This study aimed to identify modifiable factors associated with late ART initiation in Ethiopia.
Methods: From 2012 to 2013, Ethiopian adults (n=1180) were interviewed within two weeks of ART initiation. Interview data were merged with HIV care histories to assess correlates of late ART initiation (CD4+ count <150 cells/mL or World Health Organization Stage IV).
Results: The median CD4 count at enrolment in HIV care was 263 cells/mL (interquartile range (IQR): 140 to 390) and 212 cells/mL (IQR: 119 to 288) at ART initiation. Overall, 31.2% of participants initiated ART late, of whom 85.1% already had advanced HIV disease at enrolment. Factors associated with higher odds of late ART initiation included male sex (vs. non-pregnant females; adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.02; 95% CI: 1.50 to 2.73), high levels of psychological distress (vs. low/none, aOR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.34 to 2.87), perceived communication barriers with providers (aOR: 2.42, 95% CI: 1.24 to 4.75), diagnosis via provider initiated testing (vs. voluntary counselling and testing, aOR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.07 to 2.04), tuberculosis (TB) treatment prior to ART initiation (aOR: 2.16, 95% CI: 1.43 to 3.25) and a gap in care of six months or more prior to ART initiation (aOR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.10 to 3.72). Testing because of partner illness/death (aOR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.42 to 0.95) was associated with lower odds of late ART initiation.
Conclusions: Programmatic initiatives promoting earlier diagnosis, engagement in pre-ART care, and integration of TB and HIV treatments may facilitate earlier ART initiation. Men and those experiencing psychological distress may also benefit from targeted support prior to ART initiation.

Horse Soldiers
Doug Stanton
Scribner, 2009 (2009)
Hardcover, CD, e-Book
Read an Excerpt
Reviewed by Hilary Williamson
f you've ever watched and enjoyed
The Unit
, or wondered how close the news ever comes to the reality of Special Forces operations, then Doug Stanton's
Horse Soldiers
(which includes twenty-six black and white photographs) is a gripping
must read
s in the TV show, Stanton balances his account of these brave men's exploits with sketches of their home lives and the families anxiously awaiting their return. He begins by revealing individuals' whereabouts on 9/11 and reactions to that disastrous day, and continues to portray what it was like waiting for deployment, and finally heading overseas, first to a base in Uzbekistan, and then - by a very scary helicopter trip over high mountains - to advise and fight with Northern Alliance commanders in Afghanistan.
tanton then jumps ahead in time to sketch in a little of the end of this story - the November uprising of Muslim prisoners in the Qala-i-Janghi Fortress (which was filled with a Taliban stockpile of weapons) in the strategic city of Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan - which most of us caught at least a little of in the news. This creates suspense and pulls readers' interest through the details of all that led up to this point on various fronts.
he author alternates between different key players - mainly Fifth Special Forces Group members (trained to fight guerilla wars as '
both soldier and diplomat
' and to pick targets for laser-guided attacks), but also CIA paramilitary officers Dave Olson and Mike Spann (who were at Qala-i-Janghi to interrogate prisoners),
American Taliban
John Walker Lindh (aka
Abdul Hamid
), key Northern Alliance commanders and fighters, and early reporters on the scene.
eaders follow the Special Forces units as they ride to war (though many had never been on a horse before) with their Afghan allies, taking '
light infantry and horse cavalry' against Taliban
tanks, mortars, artillery, personnel carriers, and machine guns.
' In his Epilogue, Stanton compares this story to '
a Western, featuring high-tech lasers rather than six-shooters, fought on horseback
'. He quotes Special Forces soldier Ben Milo saying, '
It's as if the Jetsons had met the Flintstones.
' It's quite a ride and an enthralling read.

Hello all! I have been asked multiple times what I eat every day and questions on how to phase out meat. I went through my Saturday and recorded what I happened to eat all day in hopes that it'll give inspiration for others and maybe give some ideas that work instead of meat produce.
I eat a vegetarian, mainly plant based diet without any calorie restriction. I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full, seems pretty self explanatory I would say!
Although I try to eat clean as consistently as possibly, some days are better than others and I think indulging or treating yourself here or there is not at all a negative thing. Obviously to a point and being able to set boundaries in a must but stressing over that cookie you want to eat is probably worse for you than just eating it.
This lifestyle of eating has given me plenty of energy, healthy skin, full night sleeps and the nutrients I need to also keep up with frequent physical activity. The list could carry on but I really do believe in this way of eating and see the strong connection between health and nutrition.
Let the day begin!
8:00am – I started my day with oatmeal topped with berries nuts and cinnamon, tomato slices and green tea. Normally, I make my own oatmeal but was in a rush so I went for these instant packs which are super convenient. A good breakfast is ultra important to me as it gives me the energy to get going for the day. This meal only took me roughly 10 minutes.
2-3 times a week I will take a few vitamin supplements just because of personal preference. I am a believer of the fact that you can sustain yourself off clean food without any add ons but I like to take in extra vitamins on top. I take, B12, Calcium & Magnesium, Vitamin D and Biotin & Vitamin C.
I left the house to stop in at work quick and then run out to get a few things after so I brought a couple snacks for on the go.
Around 11- I had a banana and cliff bar, this pair is quite filling.
Because I knew that I would be out for a while, I brought water and pumpkin seeds for the car. I like filling my water with fruit or vegetables normally because I don't drink as much water as I probably should so I find this helps me drink more. I enjoy the seeds because of the carbs to help keep me from getting hungry and the extremely high protein benefits of them.
1:00pm- I didn't realize how late I would be out so I stopped at Extreme Pita and got a siracha falafel wrap with extra hummus and light sauce on a whole wheat wrap. I got extra hummus for the protein and also enjoy the falafels in the wrap for the same reason.
3:00pm- After getting home I made myself some miso soup using mushroom broth and miso paste. The miso is a good source of protein and this soup only takes me 10 minutes to make. About 30 minutes later I had a chocolate almond milk, super delicious with lots of calcium.
Around 5:30- for dinner I made a noodle bowl, with ramen, broccoli, green beans, onion, garlic, mushroom, chickpeas (my protein addition), parsley, green onion, soy sauce, mushroom sauce and chilli paste. Topped with plenty of black sesame seeds which are surprisingly a great source of calcium. A glass of water as well. This meal took me 15 minutes.
6ish– A little while after dinner I had some watermelon and more water.
8:00pm– the watermelon kept me full for a while and once it got later I had some lemon ginger tea, naturally caffeine free.
9:00pm lastly, I finished my day with a Diaya dairy free yogurt cup and some more water.
I try not to eat anything too heavy right before bed to let my body fully relax while I'm sleeping.
Goodnight! I hope everyone enjoyed

They followed that up with being full participants at practice Thursday which is a great next step. According to Sean McVay we're just waiting to hear that they've been fully cleared for Sunday.

Walking The Courses is Arena Racing Company's Official Charity Partner for this year's All-Weather Championships. Walking The Courses is raising much needed funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK and Racing Welfare.
What Is Walking The Courses?
In 2012, Richard Farquhar lost his father, Peter, to pancreatic cancer. Peter and Richard shared a love of horseracing and indulged this passion in each other's company for many years. In his father's memory, Richard has undertaken a remarkable 3,000-mile walk around mainland Britain, connecting all 60 of the nation's racecourses on foot, in aid of two fantastic causes: Racing Welfare and Pancreatic Cancer UK.
Richard's journey has captivated the hearts and minds of those in the racing world and beyond, featuring regularly on Channel 4 Racing and in national publications.
Richard is trying to raise a huge £1.4 million to be split equally between these two charities. To find out more about Walking The Courses, please go to www.walkingthecourses.com.
How Walking The Courses works
Each leg of Walking The Courses end with Richard's arrival at a racecourse on the day that there is a race meeting. Richard completes each leg of the journey by walking a lap of the course itself, finishing at the winning post. Each racecourse-to-racecourse walk is staggered over 13 months, with the last walk taking place in April, 2016.
Walking The Courses is raising funds for two charities: Pancreatic Cancer UK (www.pancreaticcancer.org.uk, charity number 1112708) and Racing Welfare (www.racingwelfare.co.uk, charity number 1084042). The fundraising target is £1.4 million.
Richard settled on the £1.4m target upon hearing that in 2013, funding from the Department of Health into research into pancreatic cancer was just £700,000. Richard is determined that he will individually contribute at least the same amount to Pancreatic Cancer UK as the Department of Health did in 2013. Due to there being a second beneficiary, Racing Welfare, the total fundraising target is thus double this figure.
Pancreatic Cancer UK is the only national charity fighting pancreatic cancer on all fronts: support, information, campaigning and research. One person dies of pancreatic cancer every hour. Pancreatic cancer has the worst survival outcome of any of the 21 most common cancers, with a five-year survival rate of only about 4%. Survival rates have improved very little in over 40 years.
Richard lost his father, Peter, to the disease in 2012 and was inspired to embark on a fundraising challenge on the charity's behalf when learning about the desperate lack of funding into the battle against the disease. Richard committed to the challenge upon hearing of the loss of trainer John Hills in June, 2014. Just five months later, another trainer, Dessie Hughes, lost his life to the same illness.
Racing Welfare provides professional guidance and practical help to current and retired stud, stable and support staff, and their families, in times of need. Its work is vital to the welfare of the unseen army of dedicated staff whose work is fundamental for the wellbeing of horseracing. The charity's team offers advice on topics ranging from accidents and injuries through to addiction and recovery support.
Racing Welfare also owns and manages a portfolio of housing across the UK. To many, racing is a great day out. To an army of unsung heroes, however, it is also a lifetime of dedication and hard work. Racing Welfare supports these people.
Walking The Courses is being officially supported by many notable individuals within the horseracing industry. These include Clare Balding, Cornelius Lysaght (BBC), Charlie Hills, Oliver Sherwood, Lord Grimthorpe (Juddmonte Farms), Roger Weatherby (Weatherbys Ltd), Henry Beeby (DBS & Goffs), Nick Luck (Channel 4), Jonjo O'Neill and Roger Waley- Cohen, to name but a few.
How Are The All-Weather Championships Helping Walking The Courses?
At the launch of the 2015-2016 All-Weather Championships at Lingfield Park Racecourse in late October of last year, Arena Racing Company (ARC) announced that, for the first time since the establishment of the series, it would be joining forces with charity campaign 'Walking The Courses' in a charity partnership that would help to boost the fundraising and profile of the project during the winter months.
This inaugural charity partnership, which draws to a close on All-Weather Championships Finals Day at Lingfield Park on Good Friday, has been a resounding success for Richard Farquhar's campaign and its co-beneficiaries.
Farquhar, who has now completed all but 135 miles of his 3,000-mile walk between all mainland UK racecourses, commented: "Being the Official Charity Partner of the All-Weather Championships this year has meant that 'Walking The Courses' has benefited from seven extra exit collections, which have collectively raised over £2,500 for Racing Welfare and Pancreatic Cancer UK. The final collection on Good Friday is likely to push that total close to £4,000.
"Both of these charities do the most fantastic work so this extra funding and publicity is invaluable to both of them. ARC should be applauded for the eagerness to establish the partnership and for the incredible support of, and commitment to, 'Walking The Courses' over the winter.
"I would like to say a big thank you to the All-Weather Championships team and to everyone at Lingfield Park, all of whom have gone out of their way to help time and time again."
ARC has also benefited from having 'Walking The Courses' as the Official Charity Partner. Susannah Gill, Director of External Affairs, said: "We have been delighted to support Richard's incredible efforts and are pleased the partnership with the All-Weather Championships has helped raised extra funds and awareness for both the charities involved.
"We are looking forward to welcoming Richard to Lingfield Park for Finals Day where he will undertake a walk of the course before racing, along with other activities throughout the afternoon."
Walking The Courses
Walking The Courses is currently sponsored by Liontrust Asset Management Plc, Weatherbys Ltd and Subaru UK, the latter of which is providing a Subaru Outback (2015 series) as the support vehicle for the duration of the campaign. Walking The Courses is extremely grateful to these three companies for their sponsorship.

Women's Basketball: Mystics vs CometsPosted by Christopher Blunck at 4:50 PM
Al's on vacation, and I like it when Al's on vacation.
When Al's on vacation he can't cover his events, so that gives me an opportunity to remove my lens cap and take a few shots. This afternoon I attended the Mystics vs Comets game at Verizon Center and had a great time. This past weekend Al covered the WNBA game (his article is here) and the Verizon Center was "sold out" for that event. I was looking forward to this afternoon's game because I was hoping there would still be some WNBA fans in town who would decide to come out to today's game.
The game was an unusual one, as it took place in the middle of the day during the week. The media relations staff explained to me that it was because of summer camps. There were certainly a ton of campers in attendance tonight - practically the entire stadium was filled with young children from various parts of the Washington DC Metropolitan region.
My plan was to arrive at the stadium 30 minutes before tipoff, but I actually end up walking out of the metro about 50 minutes before tipoff. I thought I was going to have to find time to kill, but in retrospect that was a good amount of time for Verizon Center. It takes awhile to walk from the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro exit to the Press Entrance (it's literally on the opposite side of the building from the metro entrance). Once you get to the Press Entrance they check your bags and verify you're supposed to be there.
After winding down a long corridor and getting to the media room you're offered a meal (on the house). Today's serving was a breakfast dish provided by Clyde's: eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. It wasn't too bad...
But between walking around the building, getting in through security, and sitting down to have a bite to eat it can actually take quite a bit of time. In the future I'm going to shoot to arrive 45 minutes before a game begins so that I have sufficient time (rather than 30 minutes). I also noticed that the wireless network worked differently this time. Last time it was a WAP that didn't broadcast it's SSID (you had to key in the SSID by hand as well as the WEP passphrase). This time it was a wide open WAP that brought you to a webpage where you keyed in a username and password. Today's setup was much better than last time - those cloaked WAPs are so cheesy. And who's going to steal the signal? I couldn't even get a cell phone signal from the media room for crying out loud...
I headed out to the court and said hello to a few people I recognized from the last game. One guy had an almost identical setup as me: D200 with the MB-D200 battery pack, 70-200/f2.8 VR lens, and an 18-55/2.8 DX lens. I don't have the 18-55/2.8 yet, but I plan on getting one at some point in the future.
I decided to break away from the rest of the photographers and instead shoot from the opposite end of the court. All of the photographers were positioned under the basket that the home team defended during the 1st half. I'm not sure if it's because they wanted to have dibs on their spots for the 2nd half action, or if they chose that end because they could cover coaches and players reactions during the game. Either way, it was completely filled under that basket so I headed down the court to a wide open spot.
I sat out around the 3point line next to an AP photographer who was shooting with a 300/2.8 and a 70-200/2.8 lens. With 70mm being my closest range, and with the 1.5x crop factor on my DX sensor, I really struggle being under the basket. Even out at 3 point range I'm really in too close for a lot of the under the basket shots. I do manage to get a lot of good baseline drives tho.
I read last night about exposure compensation (EV) and I have to say that I still don't understand this beast yet. Seems like it's just an auto-darken or auto-lighten that is applied when you shoot a photo. The D200 manual recommended positive EV when the subjects are darker than the background, and negative EV when the subjects are lighter than the background.
Most of the basketball players on the Mystics are African American, and thus they tend to be "darker" than the background. I decided to apply a +0.3 EV correction thinking I would see their faces a little better. I took a few test shots at 1/400second, 1250ISO, f2.8, and +0.3EV and they looked pretty good. I decided to stick with it during the entire game, and I had pretty good results. My shots are definitely brighter than the last Mystics game I covered, and I didn't have to touch 1600 ISO.
My only complaint about the +0.3EV is that it really made for some bright jerseys. The Mystics wear a white uniform at home, and it's really bright in some of my shots. I guess it's a difficult call - you increase the EV correction to get brighter faces, but that washes out the jerseys.
I've heard a bunch of people talk about noise reduction filters that they apply during post-processing. I really need to look into that and see how well they work (or don't work). If I can shoot at ISO1600 and then reduce the noise through software that might turn out better than shooting at ISO1250 and using a +0.3EV correction.
I kept using the group-weighted autofocus system on the D200 and it worked really well. I noticed that the other D200 shooter was using group-weighted autofocus system, so that's positive reinforcement that I'm on the right track. I'm still getting a lot of soft photos, but in this case I don't think there's much I can do due to the lighting situation. Outdoors I can reduce my f-stop to a higher value and that might improve my sharpness. But in low light I think I'm pretty much stuck with f2.8 for exposure purposes. Not sure how that helps me or hurts me in the long run.
On the other hand, it could be the case that I'm just looking at my pictures under too large of a microscope. Any picture, when zoomed in by 800%, looks like crap (either blurry or over/under saturated). I noticed that my pictures aren't too bad when I look at them on my blog or on DC Sports Box, even tho I think they look like crap when I view them at full resolution on my laptop. It would really help if I could follow someone like Al around during his post processing to see what kind of sharpness his shots have. Then I can determine if this is something I can improve or if this is a limitation of my equipment. I suspect it's something I can improve, but it would be good to have confirmation.
Lastly, I would like to point you over to my new website, BlunckSports. It isn't a whole lot to look at right now, but I'm planning on putting more content up there as I increase my skills. I'll continue posting my story to this blog about what techniques I'm learning, but I plan to be working on BlunckSports, as well as the DC Sports Box in the future. Please give both sites a look and an RSS subscription.

041/365 a play of light and shadow, originally uploaded by rosipaw.
The sun invited me for an afternoon walk today. It is noticeable how shadows on the snow are getting sharper and longer with the bright sunlight. Light and shadow – interconnected and interdependent opposites, bound together in an endless cycle. Where one ends the other begins.
I also liked the contrast between the young and thin, and old, darker and thicker birch trunks. The birch is my favourite Finnish tree because of its changing seasonal look, as opposed to the more common evergreens. We are really lucky in our country with about 60 % of the land area covered with forest and trees.
Birch trees, preferably by a lake or the sea, are an integral part of the landscape of my Finnish soul.

Aircraft Push Factory Orders Higher
WASHINGTON -- Factory orders rose more than expected in March, supported for a second straight month by strong demand for civilian aircraft.
Orders increased 3.1% in March, following a revised 1.4% gain in February, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. February factory orders were originally reported up just 1.0%. The March rise surpassed the 2.2% increase expected by Wall Street economists.

This video is a rare glimpse of a pastor actively addressing the modesty issue, not as a ranting legalist, but as a loving pastor, concerned for his flock. Ideally, these issues should be taught by older women to the younger. But if that isn't happening in a church, then the pulpits need to address it. John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress, once wrote on the low-cut dresses of his day and how they caused men to sin. Some things never change.

Migraine and cluster headache - the common link
Although clinically distinguishable, migraine and cluster headache share prominent features such as unilateral pain, common pharmacological triggers such glyceryl trinitrate, histamine, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and response to triptans and neuromodulation. Recent data also suggest efficacy of anti CGRP monoclonal antibodies in both migraine and cluster headache. While exact mechanisms behind both disorders remain to be fully understood, the trigeminovascular system represents one possible common pathophysiological pathway and network of both disorders. Here, we review past and current literature shedding light on similarities and differences in phenotype, heritability, pathophysiology, imaging findings and treatment options of migraine and cluster headache. A continued focus on their shared pathophysiological pathways may be important in paving future treatment avenues that could benefit both migraine and cluster headache patients.

A registered sex offender from Concord will spend 15½ years in federal prison for possessing child pornography.
….. Sarah Tofte
….. Sarah Tofte
Paul Peters, 50, of 32 S. State St., was arrested this summer as part of a statewide child pornography sting led by state and federal authorities. Investigators tracked a transmission of child pornography to Peters, and a search of his apartment revealed hundreds of photographs and films, according to federal authorities.
Peters pleaded guilty in September to one count of possession of child pornography and was sentenced yesterday in federal court. Upon his release from prison, Peters will remain on federal probation for the rest of his life.
